CFA to vote on contract BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer The journey to a fair contract looks to be coming to a close for the California Faculty Association. On May 1, 2 and 3, the CFA will vote on the contract that has been presented to them by the Chancellor's Office. Photos by Pamela Castillo / The Pride The new contract will give those professors that belong to the CFA, a 20.7% increase in pay until July 2010. The result of the vote will determine whether the CFA, statewide, accepts or rejects the new contract.

There are people who workout and people who want to workout, but never seem to make it to the gym. With this notion in mind the Clarke Field House has raised a challenge to the students, staff and faculty of CSUSM, the "FitBucks Challenge". The second annual fit-bucks challenge provides participants with the opportunity to get in shape and win prizes for rising to the T HE W EEK I N P HOTOS For challenge this month. 2007 also marks the fourth annual April wellness month at CSUSM. The month-long yearly program is now in its fourth year and has become increasingly larger every year says Lisa Dickinson, one of the facilitators of wellness month at the Clarke Field House. According to Dickinson, there are somewhere between 300 and 500 participants in the fit-bucks challenge. The overall purpose of wellness month dX CSUSM is designed to promote the eight dimensions of wellness says Dickinson.

It did need to go up, but not the way it did." According to Dr. Powell, she and other faculty are willing to support students, should they decide to hold rallies on campus. "All along we've said we support the students," Dr. Powell said, "and we still are." According to Dr. Powell, CSUSM's commuter culture may be partly to blame for the lack of organization when it comes to rallies, especially compared to other state universities. Dr. Powell added, "Support from us is there, students are going to have to show an interest." if>ms& AMANDA ANORTEN .. * E DITOR From DR.

Dr. Haynes currently serves on the Board of Directors of the San Diego North Economic Development Corporation. She also serves in leadership roles with the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the American Council of Education. Statewide, Dr. Haynes represents the region in higher educational issues of extended education and accountability through the CSU Task Force on Accountability and the CSU Commission on Higher Education. Dr. Haynes said, "I am proud to be recognized with so many other women leaders who are making a difference.

Once the Board of Trustees ratifies the contract, it will be final. On April 3, the Chancellor's Office presented a contract to the CFA, halting what would be the first strike ever in the history of the California State University system. When Dr. Janet Powell, President of the San Marcos chapter of the CFA, learned that the CFA was not going on strike, she said it was like a "sigh of relief." When speaking of the strike, "No one," Dr. Powell said, wanted to do this." According to Dr. Powell, when the CFA's struggle may be over, another struggle has just begun. Thousands of students across the CSU will be taking part in student rallies against the tuition raise students must pay in the fall. "CSU students have already been hit with 76% increases in student fees since 2002, and this additional hike would bring that to 94%. We urge CSU management to fight for the students by calling on the Legislature to include those additional funds in the budget for next year- so that a fee hike will not be necessary," said CFA President John Travis. Dr. Powell said, "We're still 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, the result brought the Chancellor's Office to the immediate realization that the faculty were indeed willing to go on strike for fair pay. The vote, Dr. Powell believes, acted as a catalyst in the collective bargaining process. "They waited to the last minute," Dr. Powell said, "but that vote was huge." Dr. Powell also expressed her thanks toward "the faculty and students who supported us in one way or another. No matter what level of involvement, we appreciated the support."

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill in September 2006. He wrote, "I applaud all young people who work hard, graduate high school and attend college." Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high school for three years and those who have graduated from a California high school to attend a state college and get a reduced 'in state tuition rate.' Those students, however, are not eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has limited funds available for this important purpose. "While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized for the acts of their parents," Governor Schwarzenegger wrote, "this bill would penalize students here legally by reducing thefinancialaid they rely on to allow them to go to college and pursue their dreams. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill." Gricelda Alva, a student who spoke at the rally, said "I was amazed at the turnout for our event. I also felt the great support from our faculty, staff and administrators who took a moment to learn more about the plight of undocumented students, because their struggles are something unheard of to the general student population at CSUSM. I am grateful for the wonderful work of Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro and its collaboration with ASI, and great support from Progressive Activist Network who helped make this event possible." The rally provided free subway sandwiches, chips and soda for those who showed up. The event gathered 145 student signatures in support for the passing of SB160. What i On Wed.

BOLDMOVES San Diego County Ford Dealers �Website of the Week: BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer "Share, reuse, and remix - legally" is the slogan of the website www.creativecommons.org. The website "provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and educators easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry." Essentially, the entirety of the website's raw source material online provides students with "scholarship, music, film, photography, literature, courseware, etc" and not only acts as an additional research tool, but also actively provides students with sound clips, songs, pictures, and movies to use in and outside of school. Because Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization, everything they do is absolutely free. The organization was established in 2001 and is guided by an impressive Board of Directors, and both of the Internet & Society centers at Harvard University and Stanford Law School University helped in getting the project off the ground. The Creative Commons website is broken down into five categories (that they call "commons"): Science Commons, ¡Commons, cclnternational, ccLabs, and ccMixter. The Science Commons is "built on the promise of Open Access to scholarly literature and data, Science Commons identifies and eases key barriers to the movement of information, tools and data through the scientific research cycle." The iCommons consists of a much broader spectrum of topics but dedicates itself to creating a "united global commons front by collaborating with open education, access to knowledge, free software, open access publishing and free culture communities around the world." For students who are involved in a band or simply love music, ccMixter "is a community music site featuring remixes licensed under Creative Commons, where you can listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in whatever way you want." The "Education" portion of the website provides incredible access to schools such as MIT, Rice University, and the Berklee College of Music. MIT's "OpenCourseWare" offers "a free and open educational resource (OER) for educators, students, and self-learners around the world." Rice University Offers a program called "Connexions," where anyone can view and/or contribute to "small knowledge chunks" that they call "modules" which can be organized into categories. Berklee College of Music offers free online music lessons that students can download, share and trade. These three programs are amongst many others that Creative Commons provides as a resource to aid and enhance student's educational experience. The website is extremely large and provides such an ample amount of information that the best way students can acquaint themselves with the site is simply to search around and customize searches in accordance to their academic needs.

In an attempt to establish an annual event, Sherry Brideau the current Director of Community Service for ASI is asking students to look into their closets and part with barely worn items to help people in need. The clothing drive began April 2 and runs through Friday, April 20th. According to their website, http:// www.ccssd.org/about.html, "Each year, CCS assists more than 12,000 men, women and children affected by relationship violence and sexual assault. Our services are divided among five program areas including: a Rape Crisis Center that provides services for survivors of sexual assault along with a 24-hour bilingual crisis Helpline and hospital and court accompaniment services for rape survivors; a clinical department specializing in counseling and therapy services that address the emotional aspects of relationship violence and sexual assault for victims and their families; a legal clinic assisting individuals with filing temporary restraining orders and other family law matters; a Education and Outreach Department that uses education as a tool for violence prevention and change for professional audiences, youth groups and the general public; and a Residential Services Department that includes a 24-hour emergency shelter and transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence and their children." Regarding the student donation to CCS Brideau said, "It is important because we are donating to a worthy cause. The women who are at the CCS shelters are coming from domestic violence. They usually come with just the clothes on their backs. When they are in transitional housing they need nicer clothes for court dates or job interviews." Last year ASI focused solely on donating to the Salvation Army and had about "17 bags," according to Brideau and currently has around "four trash cans full of [clothes] and still have more people donating." As Director of Community Service, she is in charge of planning and organizing community service and volunteer opportunities for CSUSM students. This year Brideau has been involved in setting up a few beach clean-ups and feeding migrant workers, to name a few. To get more involved, email "Sherry Brideau" at brideOOl @csusm.edu. Drop off spots for clothing and shoes are: Commons 203, the Women's Center located at FCB 102, and the UVA Community Building.

Unveiling VPA Visual and Perfomiing Arts facilities on campus BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer The Arts Building houses some of the most advanced technological equipment on campus—when it comes to music. To most of us, the Arts Building is a mystery. What's there? What is it for? The answers to those questions will be revealed. The first floor is home to seven music practice rooms which students can we use on a first-come, first-served basis to practice instruments of their choice; they do not even need to be visual performing arts students to use these practice rooms, some of which have pianos in them. The first floor also houses the Indonesian Gamelan room. In this room, students can play authentic gamelan instruments all the way from Indonesia if they are registered in the class. The instruments range from the small xylophone type keyboards to giant gongs. All of them are beautifully adorned. The electronic recording studio is also on the first floor. This studio records CD-quality music that is accessible to electronic music students. There are many keyboards and mixers. The software available is ProTools on the Apple computer operating system. The first floor also has a giant dance studio, and a performance-rehearsal area. On the second floor, there is a control room which contains all of the buttons and whistles which control the performance-rehearsal area. It is high-tech: filled with light controls, microphone controls, mixers, speakers, computers and other advanced equipment. The second floor is also home to the biggest lecture hall on campus which dou- bles for a performance hall for Music students on occasion: Arts room 240. At full capacity, 250 people can be seated. The Arts Building is just five years old. Before 2002, the Visual and Performing Arts program was housed in three portables on the edge of campus. Dr. Bill Bradbury, Professor of Music, said that it really helps to have a building that can inspire students on campus. "It made a big difference. We went to having 45-50 VPA majors tofivetimes as many majors. It really helped us have a presence on campus." The Music program continues to grow. Bradbury said that there is a proposal that would develop an official Music major and minor. He is hopeful that those programs should be in place by the fall of 2009. Coming in Fall 2007 is the university's first choral ensemble. Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Performing Arts Professor, is looking for students who would like to be a part of the group. "We are really excited about this. We are going to do a university singing group." Dr. Imara said. Interested students should contact him. His email is mimara@csusm.edu, and his office is Arts 308. There are a lot ofmusical resources available to students in the Arts Building. If students are interested, they should definitely take advantage of these resources. Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pride �Photos f rom the Cougar Prido Rally On Monday April 9, ASI hosted the 3rd annual Cougar Pride Rally. Students gathered during University Hour to participate in games and to show their Cougar Pride. The student who showed the most pride, either with blue or white paint on their face, CSUSM attire or with enthusiasm, won a free ipod from ASI. CSUSM cheerleaders were present at the event, along with student leaders and those students just looking to have fun. In one contest, students had to cover their face in shaving cream, at which point other students threw cheetos at their face. The student whose face contained the most cheetos, won. In another competition, ASI leaders laid eggs on the ground, blindfolded students and told them to try and avoid the eggs. But once the students were blindfolded, the ASI members removed the eggs from the ground and watched with everyone else as the blindfolded students walked in such a way to avoid the eggs that were no longer there.

Not a bad start for the two-time defending National League West champs. It is going to be a tough task to three-peat. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who drubbed the Padres 9-1 on a horrific Friday the 13th in LA, lead the division at 7-3, and the Arizona Diamondbacks, in San Diego for a brief two game set Wednesday and Thursday, sit at 7-4. The Padres pitching staff has been solid while the offense has shown an ability to come back in the late innings. To open the season, San Diego took two of three against the NoCal rival San Francisco Giants. Former Padres manager, and current Giants skipper Bruce Bochy, saw his old team yield a measly six runs in three games at AT&T Park in the opening series of the 2007 campaign. Ace pitcher Jake Peavy tossed a gem opening night, and closer Trevor Hoffman added to his all-time major league leading saves total in game two. The save was Hoffman's 483rd of his hall-of-fame career. The game was highlighted by an eighth inning two-run blast by IB Adrian Gonzalez that sealed the victory. Game three saw Clay Hensley, ailing from a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand, give upfiveearned runs in 4 2/3 innings and the Padres lost for the first time this season. The home opener at Petco Park did not go the fans' way. Free agent signing Greg Maddux, who came into this year 10th on the all-time wins list with 333, did not fair well in his Padres debut. Maddux gave up four earned runs in 5 1/3 innings as the Friars fell to another division opponent, the Colorado Rockies 5-4. The Padres took the next two from the Rockies in dramatic fashion. Saturday April 7, the home team tied the game in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Gonzalez who won it in the ninth by doubling home Jose Cruz Jr. to eek out the 3-2 victory. On Sunday the 8th, Cruz Jr. homered into the jury box in right field to tie the game in the eighth and new 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff brought home SS Khalil Greene with a single in the tenth inning. Kouzmanoff endeared himself to the home fans after a bit of a struggle with his new team to begin the season. Monday, April 9 the Giants came to town for manager Bruce Bochy's homecoming after a successful twelve year run steering the ship for the Padres. Bochy led the swinging Friars to the playoffs four times highlighted by a World Series appearance in 1998. Chris Young stuck a dagger in the Giants, winning the game 1-0. Young out-dueled young Giants starter Matt Cain by pitching seven solid innings of shutout ball. Cain threw well allowing only one hit in his seven innings of work, a double by Khalil Greene in the seventh ending Cain's bid for a no-hitter. Pinch hitter Geoff Blum's sacrificeflygave the bullpen the only run it needed to seal another late inning win for the Padres. Clay Hensley's blister problems continued and the Padres contributed to a loss by committing some ill-timed errors early in a 6-5 loss April 10. However, the Padres fought hard after being down by six runs early. Adrian Gonzalez socked two homeruns as the team continued to show its never-give-up attitude. The next day Greg Maddux followed with his first victory in a Padres uniform, throwing darts in deal- ing the Giants a 4-0 loss, for the 334th win of his brilliant career. Going up to face the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine is never an easy task, and hefty lefty David Wells was knocked around for five runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings on Friday the 13th. Dodger pitcher Derek Lowe once again befuddled the Padres lineup as they suffered their worst loss of the season in a 9-1 loss. The nine runs were the most surrendered by the Friars this year and also snapped the bullpen's scoreless streak to begin the season at 29 1/3 innings. The Padres set a major league record by not giving up a run by a bullpen to open the year. The previous mark was 22 set by the Chicago White Sox in 1955. It was only a couple innings from the all-time franchise mark of 32 notched in the '78 season with a bullpen anchored hall-of-famer Rollie Fingers. Mighty D ucks t ake G ame O ne Experience the Western Conference Quarter Finals BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After the announcement of the starting lineups and the singing of the national anthem, Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarter-Finals was set to begin. The referee dropped the puck and the game was underway. With both sides battling hard early on trying to gain the upper hand in the game, the Ducks received the first power play when Minnesota Wild's Derek Boogaard received a penalty for charging. After several missed scoring opportunities by the Ducks, captain Scott Niedermayer was charged for tripping, losing their power play. The fans became angry by the call and began chants of "Refs, you suck." By the end of the first period, both teams were unable to score and the Ducks went to the locker room knowing they had several opportunities with two shots ringing off the post. In the second period, the Wild took the first lead of the game when Kurtis Foster set up Pavol Demitra in the slot to beat Ducks goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov 6:01 into the second period. The Ducks were able to respond 3:51 seconds later when Francois Beauchemin made a deep centering pass that Teemu Selanne capitalized on by splitting the two defensemen and beating rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom with a quick wrist shot through the five-hole. The goal tied the game and allowed Selanne to tie the team's career record for points in the postseason. The game was all squared and both teams were playing a physical game. The teams would remain tied as they buzzer sounded for the end of the second period. The third period began, and the pace of the game was slower than the previous two periods. Neither side was taking control of the game as both sides were dumping the puck and chasing it. Then with 5:20 remaining in regulation, Ducks Dustin Penner pushed the puck in the back of the net and gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead after an eventful play. Ducks forward Ryan Getlzaf passed the puck to Penner who turned and shot the puck. Backstrom was able to make the save when his defensemen Kim Johnson knocked him down and fell on top of Backstrom. The puck was still alive in front of the net when Corey Perry slapped at it. The puck slid under the pad of Backstrom and when it popped out of the other side, Penner was there to slap the puck in the net to give the Ducks the eventual game-winning goal. This brought the sold-out crowd to its feet as Penny wise "Bro Hymn" began to play. The arena would stay energetic into the final horn. The Ducks came back to win game one of the best of seven series and they were able to head into Minnesota with a 2-0 lead in the series. Photos by David Church / The Pride �WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ALISON AFFLECK? BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Grenada has come a long way since the day I watched its 'matchstick' covered, green volcanic hills disappear from my airplane window. The matchsticks I am referring to of course were the remnants of buildings strewn across the landscape following Hurricane Ivan's brutal assault; an event that I, unfortunately, was present for. I lived on the island while I attended a University there and fell in love with the place. In fact, her resilience and strength in picking herself up again after enduring such a tragedy as Ivan, only further solidifies the island as one of the most magnificent countries that I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Rather than simply recount a tragic chapter in her history, I would like to describe an often overlooked West Indian island retreat, one that still maintains the real Caribbean experience the small nation of three islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. Grenada (Pron: GrenAYda), one of the Windward Islands, is located in tHe Eastern Caribbean. It is small, 12 miles wide by 21 miles long, and it is known as the 'Spice Isle' due to the fact that it contains more spices per square mile than any other country; nutmeg being its number one specialty . The island's history involves her being fought over by both French and English hands several times and even though the English Queen (albeit the image of a very young queen) still gazes back from their Eastern Caribbean Dollar bills, Grenada gained her independence from the UK in 1974. Like the U.K, cars in Grenada drive on the left hand side of the road, but the remaining influences are more French than English; apparent in the French placenames over much of the Island. A visit to Grenada will drop you off, most likely in a prop-plane, at Point Salines the island's only functioning airport. Point Salines is located close to the largest and capital city of StGeorges and the spectacular Grand Anse Beach so it is no surprise that this, southwest region of the Island, is the most popular destination for visitors. Most of the island resorts and Spas are located on Grande Anse beach, along with a fairly new shopping mall; however, the island itself remains very un-touristy. In fact, compared to many other Caribbean islands, Grenada is the real deal, a veritable portrait of Caribbean life that many other islands lost years and years ago, before tourism became their economic mainstay. The bustling harbour of Carenage in St.Georges is a wonderful place to stroll around. It is here that you will see stalls with a dazzling array of produce from spices; prickly apples and sour sop fruit (tastes a bit like potato) to various types of seafood, such as the famed conch. A trip here will undoubtedly whet your appetite. West Indian cuisine is spicy and delicious, and 'callaloo' soup is a Grenadian specialty not to be missed as is the rum and local beer, 'Carib'. The interior of the island contains the dense and beautiful Grand Étang Forest Reserve that contains beautiful waterfalls and a huge variety of chattering wildlife, including the Mona Monkey and the surrounding Caribbean Sea with its accessible reefs are great for scuba or snbrkeling. The smaller islands of Carriacou, and Petite white sand of Grenada's sister islands or Martinique are perfect for their seclusion explore Grenada itself, the experience will and tranquility -these are not touristy be incredible...my top tip is to watch the places at all and there are only a few places sunset over St.Georges whilst chest deep to stay. Of course, It is important to realize in the bath-water warm Caribbean sea, it that this unspoiled paradise brings with it is something will stay with you forever; (or lacks) some things that the first world just watch out for the huge land crabs and dweller may not be accustomed to; but toads that wander around at sunset on the whether you decide to simply relax on the way back to your hotel! �Thürs % 10 UNIVERSITY HOUR: ResumeWritíng Workshop Owen 1400 fe&t- ; 10am-11:50am CLIMB m the Executive's Chair Guest: CEO of Broadcom Markstein 125 Semel Assault Awareness & Prevention Arts 240 11;00am-3pm Spring Job Fair CSUSM Kellogg Library Plaza Writing Workshop Citing Sources (APA/MLA) Ufa Cougar Film Series, StompTheYard 7pm Vmr.

I was just introduced to the work of Kurt Vonnegut. His semi-memoir, "A Man without a Country," was one of the assigned readings in LTWR 475 and it definitely caught my attention. After I read that book I did a lot of research on Vonnegut just to find out who he was. I related to what he said about unoriginality in writing, the political situation in the country, and if there really is a God. Writing takes up most of the capacity in my life which may explain why "Almost Famous," "The Secret Window," and "Finding Forrester" are some of my favorite movies. But when it comes to having those goose bump feeling moments, I don't have those that often when I read other peoples words, but Vonnegut was different. With his death last Thursday it brought sadness to many of his fans. I feel gypped, however, because I've only know of him for a few months now. I'm actually getting into "Player Piano," Vonnegut's first novel, for my COMM 445 class with Dr. Katherine Brown. Not to sound like a stalker, but there's one thing I do when I find a writer that I truly appreciate. I create a correspondence with the writer. This is something I recommend for all people who claim to be interested in writing. Most writers love to talk about writing and will be cordial with you if you show the same passion for the craft. That's one reason why I post my e-mail at the bottom of this column. When I was 15 I started reading Woody Paige, a sports writer with the Denver Post. I e-mailed back and forth with him and he became a major influence on my writing at that age. At 18 I met Rick Reilly at the annual Point Loma Nazarene writer's symposium (I greatly recommend the symposium to all writer's) and began a correspondence with him. He showed me that a sports writer doesn't just have to write about sports. Mitch Albom, Tom Friend, and Jerry Crasnick are a few other the status quo. You are going to piss of people when you take a risky stand. You are going to have people who want to censor you when you show opposition to a war or to the President. This is something I've had to deal with, and this is something that Vonnegut has shown me can be done. To end with a quote from "A Man without a Country: "The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is. And if I die—God forbid—I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?'" Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. writers that I've asked questions to. From reading tributes about Vonnegut since his death he apparently answered all letters written to him, too. I'm not the only person who liked his style. He influenced the likes of Jon Stewart who uses satire to bring attention to social issues, and Keith Olberman who can go on a Vonnegut style rant like no other. Vonnegut meant so much to Stewart as a kid that when he got to interview him on the "Daily Show" he introduced Vonnegut like this: "As an adolescent he made my life bearable." Not everyone gets satire. When you work in a mainstream industry like Olberman, Stewart, and Vonnegut you are going to have your critics.

K^''* • y * Letters to the Editor: Dear [Pride], As the Coordinator for Pilipino Culture Night, I'm disappointed how one your writer's has covered Kamalayan Alliance's 1st Pilipino Culture Night. We were personally asked to send your staff writer pictures from our event. There was no indication that a story was to be attached to those photos, for your staff writer had lacked to communicate that information. If we were informed of that process, we would have been obliged to write a story for The Pride. Also, we were not informed that Thè Pride has any interest in writing an article for the PCN until Sunday late night before the staff writer's deadline. As you stated in your response, we should make it our responsibility to keep constant communication with the paper. But than what is the job and responsibilities of The Pride than? The publication lacked a story, acknowledgment of who was involved, the time, place and location of the PCN and the staff writers name for accountability. The pictures of the production published last week did not explain the content of the Pilipino Culture Night that highlighted issues within the Pilipino-American community and experience, especially on this campus. As the cliché goes, a picture says a thousand words. On this campus itself, those photos posted without any context reflect a misinterpretation of our actors/actresses, the student organization and the Pilipino Culture itself. As a student organization, there are standards of excellence that we expect from our student paper. That is to reflect and accurately inform our campus community. We suggest if that an article lacks content arid is not ready to be published, than it should not be approving for the publication. Kamalayan Alliance feels that The Pride has misinterpreted our event...[continued online at www.thecsusmpride.com] -Diana Wong PCN Coordinator Dear Pride, This is in reference to this week's "The Pride" about Pilipino Culture Night. Those two pictures should have had an actual "article" because there was "meaning" to the event that couldn't be described by a picture alone. The article about beer seems to be more important than the event but from my perspective the PCN was more important because it addressed cultural and heteronormative issues. It's sad there's nothing about it and the picture didn't include all of the performers and show their hard-work. -Lan Giao Nguyen President Vietnamese Student Association Dear Pride, This letter is to regard the school's newspaper about Kamalayan Alliance's Pilipino Culture Night. There is only two pictures to represent the PCN but there isn't any details about the event that was performed at school. As one of the performers from Pilipino Culture Night. I am disappointed at the fact that there isn't any description to explain why PCN happened. Hope you would do a better job covering the school's events. - Anthony Lao Dear Pride, I find it deeply disturbing that "The Pride" devoted so little space and effort to the coverage of CSUSM's first Pilipino Culture Night. After all the hard work that both they and myself put into the success of the show, we deserve equal if not more extensive coverage in comparison to the "Beer of the Week" of "Drink of the week." Considering, a large demographic of the student attending Cal State San Marcos are not of legal drinking age. And social issues should be in a more prevalent spot light. Also, I feel due to the current political turmoil that is ensuing the Philippines coverage of the first annual PCN should be of the utmost importance, because it shows the strength and support of a culture, especially from thousands of miles away. In order for "the Pride" to be viewed as a legitimate school newspaper, like the "Daily Aztec," Real News stories should be covered, not necessarily the typical college stereotypes. Cultures should be exalted, news should brought eyes should be opened. By the way, I'm white. - Bryce Griffin Dear Pride, In this week's "Pride" article on Pilipino Culture Night, there are just two pictures about he 2-night performances and no content. It's a disappointment that the only thing written are the captions for the pictures without names. The individuals who directed, assisted, and participated in the making of this production that took many months of their lives to plan and rehearse, and nothing was written about the event, there hard work their sacrifices, or even what issues were acknowledged (homosexuality, ethnicity, culture). All that was on the page with the pictures was a half-page spread on the "Beer of the Week," and even THAT had written content on it. "The Pride" should write more things that make us more culturally diverse instead of pointless things like makeup, beer and movies. Besides, when has there ever been a newspaper with only pictures and no written accompanying article? Unheard of... Sincerely, -Darlene Doan VP Vietnamese Student Association Dear Pride, You have failed to address our needs and concerns involving the cultural diversity on the Cal State San Marcos campus. In the CSUSM mission statement, it states that all walks of life will be assisted in their college career. My concern is that that Kamalayan Alliance put on their first Pilipino Culture Night and the media exposure was minimal. The excerpt, or what you decidedly wrote as an "article," was on the back, the very last page of "The Pride." If anything, a large diverse event on campus should receive media attention, as well as be on the front page, instead of other worthless articles. This disheartens me because you put no thought or effect into the feelings Dear Pride, With all do respect, we do not appreciate how the Pili- students have over this issues. All the time, dedication, effort for over pino Cultural Night section in this week's newspaper did not explain a month was utterly ignored by the media community. The newspaper the importance of the event. We find it very disrespectful that you and this community, including the campus belonging to us, and our would arrange it to be on the same page as the "Beer of the Week" opinions which matter. You also do not explain the event, as well as articles, when you wrote more about alcohol, and only 27 words about failed to address any information about the event, leaving students lost in the abyss of their own questions. - Jennilyn De Jesus B.A.P.S. PCN. It didn't even have contact information! - Krystal David Fundraising Chair Where's the Pride's quality in reporting, that áll students should expect from their campus paper? Where's the content for multicultural events on campus? Isn't a campus paper supposed to report campus events? Where was the coverage of CSUSM's 1st ever PCN (Pilipino Culture Night)? This was no quick 50 minute event during the University Hour. This was a 2-night weekend affair that required months of preparation. It was student produced, directed, performed production that covered over 2 hours. Ifindit disheartening that when we "chatted" at the "President's Dinner for Student Leaders" you said, "The event would only be covered if a reporter was in the audience ." If a reporter attends an event, it must be an event that they are particularly interested in. That explains the lack of content for the "Black History Month." That's disturbing! Two pictures and 27 words is all PCN received. Let's not forget that the picture depicts all the male participants in drag! The lack of content was malicious & hurtful to members of the LGBT community on campus. You've just recreated, reinforced and perpetuated the misinformation Kamalayan Alliance was trying to address. Here's a solution: have the secretaries, scribes or historians of student groups submit an article of an event they have created. That would be a win-win for everyone: the Pride gets 'real' inclusive content and the secretary, scribe or historian gets credit for their work. I find it alarming that in the absence of diverse content, the Women's Center and C3 have to create their own publications. Call it freedom of the press to write and cover what they please but imagine if the tables were turned? What direction will unbiased reporting turn to next, rallying support for opposition leading towards the dismantling of a resource center? -Jay Franklin LGBTA President Kamalayan Alliance Political Chair ^ �Last week's key: [p A D R E s | Courtesy of The Pride ACROSS 3 A holey baseball for the beach. 5 Summer time trees. 7 .Vac a t i ons^ aw§y f rpm home. 10 Yellow circular ball of fiery doom with spots. 11 7-11«s cold drink of choice to escape the heat. . 13 Summertime beatle. 14 The last month of Summer. 16 Footwear of choice for sunny days. 17 Escape the city and spend the night under the stars. 23 Escape the heat with this cool contraption (abbrev.) 24 Frozen lolipop of sorts. 26 Billiards alias and bakyard waterhole. 28 Source of heat on a cold summer1s night at the beach, 29 Small summer fruit. 30 Favorite San Diego destination to escape the heat. 31 Summertime stove top of sorts. 34 Great movie with Pacino, Kilmer and Deniro; also the by product of a sunny day. 36 Mix some ice cream and soda to get this. 37 Cool dessert for hot summer days. 38 Summer time lunch outing. 39 To gander at the constellations. to stay hydrated. 4 Summertime festivals. 6 Famous rapper and summer time beverage classic. 7 A sleeveless t-shirt for the hottest of days. 8 Summer time pants. 9 Result of too much sun exposure. 12 Cool spots out of the DOWN sun. 13 Independence day's 1 A surfers playground. month. 2 Must have refreshment 15 Colored ice shavings in the palm of your hand. 18 Large flower with tasty seeds. 19 Large seedy summer fruit. 20 Beverage of choice for entrepreneurial neighborhood children. 21 BBQ classic. 22 Sunblockfs potency unit. 25 Summer sport born from tennis. 27 Colorful1 explosions of light. 28 Essential sand castle builderfs tool. 32 Not so formal summer suit for women. 33 Slurpeefs not so distant cousin made of frozen water. 35 Must have at the pool. �Undertown I t s W THAT I M li'T M6S> * THES^AMS « M T NOW By Greg Bish op «= Sir, H ^wcve«...

Hundreds of students and professors overflowed University Hall Plaza to partake in the 5th annual International Fair. High winds were blowing the smoke from the grill, but that was not enough to discourage students from the good times. Long lines for yummy free food were the norm. Patrons snacked on their treats of German Bratwurst, Greek salad, croissants, taquitos, a variety of colorfully decorated cakes, and much more. Entertainment was non-stop, and not always planned. During the West African rhythms preformed by the TAM TAM African Drummers, the featured dancer invited spectators to join in the dancing. CSUSM students were more than happy to step up. Two students showed off their moves with a spectacular break dancing show. Volunteers treated the audience to a cultural costume fashion show, along with a demonstration of Mexican dancing, and a demonstration of Israel-influenced group dancing that included audience participation. Fair festivities also offered martial arts/self-defense demonstrations with students. University Global Affairs Committee sponsored the event along with Global Affairs Office, Associated Students Inc., Student Life & Leadership and a co-curricular funding award. Photos by Pamela Castillo /The Pride Concert Review # Did somebody say Snow Patrol? Vega4 &: Augustana at the House of Blues BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer If I had a dictionary to define my collective concert experiences throughout my lifetime, it would read as the following: Augustana: San Diego-based band, and one of my all-time favorite bands. San Diego House of Blues: one of my favorite venues, period. That said, the sold-out Augustana show at San Diego House of Blues last Saturday night should have been no-brainer and should have gone down in the dictionary as one of my favorite concerts ever. Unfortunately, though, that was not the case. On their final night of touring the states, a sweaty grip of Irish, Canadian and Kiwi musicians promisingly known as Vega4 mounted the stage as the soldout venue swelled with estrogen. With beer in hand, Vega4 frontman Johnny McDald wooed the plastic crowd while the lyrics to "Traffic Jam" hung against the bright foggy air. Priming the audience for the headlining band, Augustana, Vega4 attempted to bring their "A" game, but it sounded as if something got lost in the execution. What I had hoped would become the beginning of a musical romance, quickly fizzled out throughout their set as in my opinion, Vega4 progressed into nothing more than a Snow Patrol cover band. Though I can appreciate the notable chunks of existential lyrics they proclaimed, the extra sparkle and magical connection between Vega4 and I were nowhere to be found. Continuing their set with "You & Me," Vega4 dedicated the poignant tune to Augustana, their newly found road buddies. With Jared Palomar (bass/vocals) and "South" (drummer) of Augustana sitting backstage stage right, they, along with a handful of stagehands, rocked out to the mellow and slightly poppy ditty. Johnny's seductive vocals were a pleasant distraction from the harrowing audience, but were hardly enough to grab my full attention. "Billions of Lights," a delicate rock song, premiered a beautiful medley of lights flashing and dancing all over, before segueing smoothly to the members of Augustana waltzing onstage with a large candleholder and a light-post on which the drummer of Augustana entertained a brief pole dance. With the house lights dimmed, the audience swayed in a sentiment of nostalgia. As the gathering sang along with the foreign quartet, Vega4 rounded out their set with their ever popular single "Life is Beautiful" which has been featured on "Grey's Anatomy" and "One Tree Hill." Though Johnny (vocals/guitar), grew louder. A few seconds later, Gavin Fox (bass), Bryan McLel- the curtains lifted to reveal the lan (drums) and Bruce Gainsford striking members of Augustana.

Lacking virtually any relationship with the audience, watching the 5 lanky guys play, I couldn't help but get the feeling that they were bored. As the hour-plus long set droned on, I was sadly disappointed as I felt the showmanship of Augustana was nothing more than a poor rendition of their two-year-old CD. moto by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A big splash at SeaWorld BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Seaworld is one of the most popular attractions in San Diego* This spring, Seaworld is offering a couple of new shows and other exciting things to do. As a platinum passport number, I visit Seaworld many times a year. If there is something new going on, I have to be there as soon as I can. When I heard about the new spring shows, I began to plan my next Seaworld trip. Thefirstnew show I saw was "Sea Lions Tonite." The preshow, featuring a janitor named Biff, is almost as entertaining as the actual show. In the preshow, we got to watch Biff sing and dance to a lot of classic songs - from "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" to "You're the One That I Want" from "Grease." In my book, there is almost nothing more entertaining than watching humans dance around ~ even unskillfully. Wait. Especially if it is unskillfully. Biff did not disappoint. The actual show featured everyone's favorite sea lions Clyde and Seymour and the trainers doing spoofs on other Seaworld shows and easily recognizable TV shows such as "Survivor" and "American Idol." Unlike the Sea Lions day show "Risky Rescue," the night show prominently features Ottie, the adorable sea otter. At the end of the show, one of Seaworld's walruses spits water at the audience members sitting in the front center rows. I have to admit, there is a certain schadenfreude watching other people get soaked by animals. "Shamu Rocks" is the new killer while night show. This 20-minute show features Shamu doing a lot of fantastic behaviors. Since killer whales are found in every ocean in the world, the show features rock songs from all over the world. Whereas the daytime show "Believe" involves a lot of narration and explanation, "Shamu Rocks" is pure energy — one killer whale behavior after another. The four rotating LED screens with the lighting almost steal the show from Shamu. Don't go to this show if you are epileptic. As a Seaworld veteran, I recommend walking out of Shamu Stadium about 30 seconds before the show actually ends, especially if you are claustrophobic. The stadium seats 5500 people, and if the show is especially packed, you will spend a lot of unnecessary time just trying to get out of the stadium. Another new feature this spring is the Discoveries Gift Shop. In this shop, you can construct an animal friend complete with any type of outfit you could possibly imagine. First, you pick an animal off the wall. Next, the gift shop employee will fill it with cotton, and then you can dress k up. It is a tad on the expensive side, but 10% of your entire purchase goes to Seaworld's conservation fund. Park visitors can also enjoy the Sky Blast Fireworks Show at the end of the night. This is a special treat, considering that fireworks were banned from Mission Bay last year after an environmental group threatened to sue Seaworld for polluting the bay. An unbiased third-party research group cleared Seaworld when it concluded that the fireworks did not pollute the bay. Photos courtesy of Sea World San Diego Seaworld's Sky Tower Ride is still closed, but according to park employee Melanie, it should be reopening at the end of April. The new Penguin Encounter is still under construction. No reopening date has been announced. The new shows will be available to watch weekends until May 25. After that, it will be available every night until Labor Day weekend. Tickets to Seaworld are available in the ASI office (Commons 207) for $45.50/adult and $39/child, and for just $11 more, can be upgraded to a Fun Card, which will allow guests to come back any time during 2007.

He and estranged wife, Amy (Kate Beckinsale), check into a seamy motel after their car breaks down on "I'm somewhere in between Robert Eng- a lonely highway. After the couple settles down for land and Leatherface in terras of intensity" an uncomfortable night in their shabby room, David Luke Wilson, star of the new horror flick discovers some videotapes, low-budget slasher films "Vacancy," deadpanned when asked to rate the setting of which seems eerily familiar. When himself as a "horror actor" "No, I can't rate the couple realizes that their room has been used for myself" he continued. "I'm going to have to gruesome snuff films, that the room is fitted with leave that up to the people who go see it and hidden cameras, they must work together to escape a grisly demise. the critics, preferably the people who "It's not a psychological thriller and B iieeit" ; l^w x V it's not a full on, you know, gory 'Saw'type movie" Wilson stated. He also explained that while he felt a sense of accomplishment in challenging himself to explore in the unfamiliar terrain of the horrorflick,"in terms of returning to the genre, the truth is it's more fun to work on comedies and it's easier and I feel more at home doing them and even dramas." Yet, Wilson leaves the door open for a possible return to the slasher scene: "If something were to come along, I would definitely give it a shot again." The Dallas-born-and-raised actor spoke about how he got into acting: "I didn't really know what I wanted to do in I college. It all just kind of came together. : I was an English major and an Art History m* minor. Then Owen and Wes Anderson got t : 'Bottle Rocket' going, and so I just started working on that. But I was interested in the newspaper business and I was interested in photography and really interested in the movies. But I don't think if it were for those j ig guys, I don't picture myself having moved I g out to LA or moved to New York and just taking a shot at it. It just seemed kind of not within the realm of possibilities, but I never really had a game plan in terms of what I was - going to do. If anything, it was just more of a Image courtesy of Sony Pictures B eer o f t h e W e e k : D r i n k of t h e Week: A L A S K A N S UMMER A L E BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Somehow winter skipped Southern California. The endless summer sun has managed to tan the bodies of thousands all year, and fellow Cougars have been fortunate enough to sport thongs and shades for both fall semester of2006 and spring semester of 2007. Therefore the beer of the week cannot be labeled premature. Alaskan Summer Ale unmistakably identifies with current weather conditions and the winter that took a season o ff Alaskan Brewing Company brews Alaskan Summer Ale in Juneau, Alaska. The brewery has won more than 33 medals and awards since establishment in 1986. The brewery prides themselves on living with the land instead of at the expense of the land. The brewery also claims to have a lively and adventurous workforce. Some of their crew m em- Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride struggle than I thought it would be. "Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or "Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the situation, but if anything, it's really helped me. I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school. I've learned on every single movie I've done, whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'" "What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get more successful and more recognizable and am able to do well in good movies, then I hope that that kind of thing will come together; but I might just have to write it myself." So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two screenplays, one of which has been made into a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con man who is trying to turn his life around and get his girlfriend back with the help of these two old men that he's try ing to help." Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he would also like to form a production company with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson), but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us and seeing our short film and helping us along" Wilson explained. Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be content with "The Wendell Baker Story," which opens in theaters May 18 and "Vacancy," which opens April 20. the sea, climbed treacherous mountains, and cave dived around the world. The fine men and women of the brewery have created an excellent summer ale delight, The carton pictures a sea reflecting the bright orange hues of the sunflankedby deep brown mountains as a pack of killer whales play in the ocean. The cardboard packaging contains six 12 ounce glass bottles. The brown glass bottles are capped with peculiar magenta bottle caps. Slight odors of malts, hops, and yeast radiate a pleasing aroma after the magenta cap twists off the bottle. When the beer is poured into the glass, it clearly exemplifies an amber tint similar to a sunset across Palm Court at CSUSM while displaying a one-inch thick head. The ale has an alcohol by volume of 5.3 percent, and the brewery recommends pairing the brew with Alaska crab, halibut, or salad. The summer ale smoothly enters the mouth. During the climax of the swallow a quick and punchy taste of malts, hops, and yeast penetrate the taste buds. The summer ale falls into the dark abyss of the throat just as it has entered, smooth and nonchalant. Gladly satisfied the stomach moans in fulfillment as the empty glass clumsily settles on the wooden surface, Alaskan Summer Ale should be chilled thoroughly before consumption. A pretest was conducted when the summer ale was only slightly chilled. The taste buds screamed cruelty and threatened to sue. For more information on Alaskan Summer Ale please visit: http://www.alaskanbeer. c om Shirley Temple BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Ever since I was a little girl, Shirley has been my best friend. Shirley Temple that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail, or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink. Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the non-alcoholic beverage was created by a bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s. Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress, she was invited to many a Hollywood party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is. Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's during the height of her career, and because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to accompany her amidst the surplus of adult Holly wood stars. Originally made with two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common for the orange juice to be omitted. The more familiar recipe for a Shirley Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup, and at least two decorative Maraschino cherries. Served over ice in a highball glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice. Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint and will gleefully please even the most spoiled inner-child. For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley." A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2 ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP and a splash of grenadine, and is served in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A "Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite, and an ounce of grenadine, served in a highball glass on ice. With so many yummy options, it would be hard to go wrong with good oY Shirley.

California is the world's 12th largest producer of greenhouse gases. In order to combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state permission to regulate vehicle emissions in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan- dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators. California, along with 11 other states, sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the EPA was not protecting the environment enough, especially concerning greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, debate continues on how much greenhouse gases really affect global warming. Many, including those in power, insist that global warming is a fad. Some Job Fair at CSUSM Geico, UPS, AT&T, Target, SDPD, and many other businesses on hand BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer politicians bring up the fact that scientists were concerned with global cooling in the 1970s. According to some politicians, global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, though The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring and with 90% confidence that it is because of human interference. On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will host its annual career fair from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The job fair which is sponsored by CSUSM, North County Times, Enterprise, UPS, Capital Group Companies, Geico, and La Costa Glen Carlsbad, will have over 100 businesses on hand for students to apply. Some of these businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers, Accountants Inc., Pacific Marine Credit Union, and Seaworld San Diego. Pamela Wells, associate director of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does not have to be in f ull fancy interview attire. Businesses will be on hand to attract students to careers and jobs. See EPA, page-2 See CAREER FAIR, page 2 EPA to regulate California's emmissions standards BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Tues. April 24, CSUSM will welcome nationally known speaker Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington. As a trainer and consultant on multiculturalism and multicultural organization development, Rev.

Using only a student ID card, students may check out a plethora of other electronic devices. If it is needed, the library most likely has it. The library has Dell Latitude D620 notebooks available for student checkout. These 14.1 in. screens are easy on the eyes and include an Intel integrated graphics media accelerator card. Each notebook has at least 512MB of DDR2-533 SDRAM and comes with an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz processor. CSUSM replaces all of its computerized technology every three years to ensure that everything is state-of-the-art. The laptops are available to check out at the student helpdesk on the second floor of Kellogg Library. They may be checked out for three hours at a time. A yellow sign in front of the helpdesk area i nforms students that the helpdesk will be enforcing fines on checked out technology this year. For a laptop, t he fine is $10 every hour it i s late. When asked about if the helpdesk has been lax in the past on enforcing fines, helpdesk worker Lauren Webb said, "We've been forgiving in the past. We've had problems with people r eturning [items] late, even if it was like a couple of hours, or t rying to renew with multiple fines, and then that would have us not have as many things [available] t o c heckout" External hard drives are also available to borrow. These contraptions hold hundreds of gigabytes of information and are available to borrow for extended periods of time—some for entire semesters. Help- desk employee Kyle Andersen said, "The external hard drive is quite a bit bigger t han a t humb drive, but it is also bigger and stores more information." Digital cameras, headphones, microphones, audio recording devices, light kits, sound kits, and even camcorders are also available t o borrow. Depending on the t ype of equipment, borrowing times range f rom a couple of h ours to around four days. A s long as there is other equipment available t o checkout t o someone else, there is no limit on the amount of t imes students may renew. The higher-end equipment is available only for visual p erforming a rts and mass media students with professor permission. Other technological equipment is available t o faculty only. Right next t o the student helpdesk, in the media library, a number of other resources are at the disposal of students and faculty: CDs, DVDs, V HS tapes, and even some old school records. These titles are not j ust merely educational; some are j ust pure entertainment: "Edward Scissorhands," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," and the original "Star Wars" trilogy are among the hipper movies. CDs such a s "West Side Story" and "Phantom of t he O pera" are also available to borrow. These media materials are available to check out for one week at a time if they are not on reserve. If they are on reserve, they may be checked out for an hour or a day, depending on individual title restrictions. All media arid equipment may be checked out during library hours: MondayThursday 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. í iIP ; ÉliÉiliiiii Iliilllittl filli ili;: lili Iii Wíi i : "', Cartoonists **^ jjiMW BÍ0P0HD ::• •.

From EPA, page 1 California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger broke with fellow Republican President George W. Bush to support the new environmental measures. Schwarzenegger is also hoping to implement a cap and trade system which will limit the amount of C 02 industries can emit. This system hopes to mimic the cap and trade system currently in use in the European Union. In the EU, industries are given a limit on how much C 02 can be emitted. If a company cuts emissions below the regulated limit, the company earns crédits which can be sold to other companies that go over the limit. It seems simple, but the state has since learned that implementing this system could be costly and complicated.

The cap and trade system sounds like a good way to go." The cap and trade system is currently being considered nationwide. Debate continues in Washington whether this system could be useful for reducing greenhouse gases in America. California, meanwhile, is still trying to get the ball moving on a statewide level. Historically, California has been a pioneer in environmental legislation. In the 1970s, California made moves toward cutting emissions and air pollution before the federal government did. A s it stands, if nothing is done to t ry to reduce greenhouse gases, global warming will seriously threaten 20-30 percent of all plant and animal species if average global temperatures rise 2.2-4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the report issued by the IPCC.

Cal State Film Crew rolls out the red carpet to students BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer The Cal State Film Crew is a relatively new club on campus. Formed by Brandon Brown in October 2006, the club focuses on developing a network for students interested in working in the film industry. In addition to working on smaller side projects, the Cal State Film Crew is currently working on an original feature-length production called "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." "The basis of the club is that cilstatef ¡Imcr e w.canij C SFC Images courtesy of Cal State Film Crew it is a network of students that are interested in film, not necessarily film majors," said Brown. "It's a Catch-22 in the industry. You basically have to work in the industry to get a job in the industry. We have tried to create a network where you can just join the club and you could show up and participate." Brown said that Cal State Film Crew is an opportunity for students to become involved with film on their own timeframe. It also provides access to the technology available on campus. "You really have access to create a highquality production value movie on campus for literally no money," says Brown. "Our main focus here is to create projects that can be turned into products," said Jason Raya, founding member and producer of "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." The film encompasses multiple disciplines, explained Ryan, and that Cal State Film Crew gives students an opportunity to use the skills they are learning—whether it be in writing, visual performing arts or even business—and apply it to the film industry. "It is interesting meeting people that are actually devoted to the Film Crew and actually want to assist other students in making quality productions," said business major and club member Larry Cristia. Cristia made a fiveminute short film with Cal State Film Crew for his "Elements of Cinema" course which was also entered into a short film contest at a Las Vegas film festival. "Cal State Film Crew is focused on taking everything to the next level," says member Chad Olson. Olson also stars in the Film Crew's "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" as Detective Jones. "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" is an original screenplay written by a student at UCSC, and formatted by Brown. The movie is a film noir that explores the nature of good and evil within the context of fiction and reality. The film is directed by Brown, and produced by Cristia and Raya. The part of Ambrose Bierce is also played by Raya. There are still many shoots before the film is completed and Cal State Film Crew is looking for production assistants and extras. The club will have something available for Cal State San Marcos student film festival on May 9— whether it is the movie in its completion or a teaser trailer. Tasha Sisson who plays Lady Scratch in the film said that she enjoys the opportunity to act in a movie and how much the director (Brown) really helps her get in the frame of mind. "Cal State Film Crew really Chad Olson (pictured above) plays detective Jones in The Devil and Ambrose Bierce. gives students the opportunity to try out doing things in a school setting," Olson says. The Film Crew combines matriculated students with outside industry professionals to maximize student experience as per their constitution. Cal State San Marcos students are encouraged to join the Film Crew if they are interested in learning more about the industry.

No butts ahe on-campus smoking policy llowed Controversy behind t BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The smoking policy on campus was implemented on August 1, 2005. However, it has been brought to recent attention that some students—who do s m o k e are allegedly not complying with the administered rules. Smoking is limited to the designated outside areas only, and is not permitted in any of the Cal State San Marcos buildings or state-owned vehicles. The idea behind creating designated smoking areas around campus is t o "protect visitors and all members of the campus community from exposure to secondhand smoke by containing it to specific, avoidable areas," reads an excerpt from the official CSUSM smoking policy. Individuals who suffer from asthma or cardiac problems are particularly at risk when exposed to second hand smoke. In addition to secondhand smoke being a Class A carcinogen due to its cancercausing effects, The United States Environmental Protection Agency claims that "there is 'no safe level of exposure4 to secondhand smoke. With designated smoking areas, people can avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke if they choose to do so." Oddly enough, some designated smoking areas seem to be placed in certain highly congested areas on campus (next to Science building 1, and near the Library), where avoiding secondhand smoke is nearly impossible. Therefore, the issue concerning CSUSM students is shifting away f rom why CSUSM has designated smoking areas to instead analyzing the effective placing of the designated smoking areas meant to prevent secondhand smoke. California state law requires that there be "no smoking within 20 feet of all entrances, exits and operable windows and air intakes." CSUSM's smoking policy also stresses that the state law "does not protect people from breathing secondhand smoke in areas like the plazas and on stairways and walkways" and that des- WÄRNIHS SMOKE I S KNOWN TO CAUSE GANGER tSËr.-T^lg? A D OTHERI HEPS SfiTS M . . M .M J M ËÛ ignated smoking areas are more effective because "when smokers are directed to places where they can smoke, versus where they cannot smoke, the policy is more easily understood and honored." Karina Martinez, a non-smoker on campus states that she does not mind when smokers are in the designated smoking areas but becomes annoyed "only when they're walking around with it on campus and I have to walk behind that nasty thing." When asked if she knew and utilized the designated smoking areas on campus, Kate Strauss, a smoker said "yes, I know where the desI ignated smoking areas are. I No, I don't use them. Why? Because, I'm too lazy. But, if someone asked me to move, I'd happily do so." CSUSM encourages smokers and non-smokers to cooperate in order to make the policy effective and understands that "proper signage and education are key parts of this process."

BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Do you know what dangers may be lurking in your toiletries? We all have probably heard the rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer. Although the rumor continues to circulate, an article published in the "Journal of the National Cancer Institute" (Vol. 94, No. 20: 1578-1580) in October o f2002 that the findings of a recent study did "not support the hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases the risk for breast cancer." Yet, the possibility that what we put on our skin may affect our health continues to loom. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of various U.S.-based environmental and public health groups, released a report in July 2002 titled "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products and the FDA." The article stated the findings of a May 2002 study of name-brand beauty products tested for the presence of phthalates, "a large family of industrial chemicals linked to permanent birth defects in the male reproductive system." Fifty-two out of the 72 products tested contained the chemical. Another group of chemicals to be wary of, warns the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, is parabens. These common preservatives including butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben - are known to be absorbed through the skin. Researchers in the U.K. discovered parabens in 20 human breast tumors. Though the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is careful to clarify that no single personal care product is likely to cause cancer, the group insists "we are being repeatedly exposed to chemicals from many different sources all the time." This implies Cosmetic Facts Apply makeup to desired area Repeat as often as needed Applications per bottle.............,......50 Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Soybean Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Purified Water, Zinc Stearate, Silk Powder, Carmine May contain: butylparaben, ethylparaben, metthylparaben, propylparaben, Ascorbyl Pamitate Daily Value (D.V.) not established that the danger in carcinogenic ingredients lies ultimately in how many and how much one is exposed to. In 2004, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics began asking companies that manu- facture personal care products to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. According to a January 2007 press release, by signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, companies would agree to the following: "meeting EU [the European Union prohibited the use of potentially health-hazardous ingredients in 2003] standards banning chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects globally; conducting an inventory of all ingredients to determine whether they use chemicals that pose health hazards including cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutation, reproductive toxicity, developmental harm and neurotoxicity; implementing substitution plans that replace chemicals of concern with safer alternatives; and reporting on their progress in meeting these goals to the public." Since 2004, over 500 companies signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but many still refuse. A list of companies that have signed the compact is available at http://www.safecosmetics.org. To inform the public ofpotentially dangerous ingredients in personal care products, the Environmental Working Group began a project known as "Skin Deep" (http:// www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep). Not only does the .project entail disseminating fact sheets about harmful ingredients, companies that err or reform, and safety gaps, but it also provides a database of thousands of products, labeling each with a safety-rating that takes into account each of the possibly dangerous ingredients within. "Skin Deep" will even provide custom shopping lists. Users simply select their criteria (e.g. the category of personal care product - Skin Care (Sun), Skin Care (Nourishing), Nail Care, Hair Care, etc. - "No animal testing," "Compact signer," "No known cancer hazards," etc.) and click "Get Shopping List." Just because a company labels its product "organic" or "natural", does not guarantee the product to be free of potentially harmful ingredients. �Finding your way through BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer If you arrive in Prague via the Ruzyne airport and you plan to take the bus 119 into town, whatever you do, find the orange bus ticket vending machine and buy a ticket first. Unfortunately, I did not do this and in my haze of jetlag and sleep deprivation I encountered an annoyed bus conductor; and, as I couldn't speak Czech and he couldn't speak English, the whole ordeal was pretty frustrating. However, the language of money is international and I forked over myfineo f500 Koruna ...a fine start to my trip indeed! The bus dropped me off at the underground train station and I proceeded to take the train, this time looking,out for any orange boxes in the vicinity. My adventure continued as I wandered around in search of the Hostel Advantage located on Sokolska 11. At this juncture I must advise all future travelers to take the time to learn a little Czech before you get to the country, my cramming on the plane just didn't cut it, although I did learn during my stay, and I learned fast! The first thing I did in Prague was seek out a feast of goulash. After all, I had long and excitedly suspected that the Eastern European food would be somewhat reminiscent of Scottish food (and equally as healthy) and I was not proved wrong. Taking the 10 minute trek towards the National Museum, the whole splendor of Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske Namesti) was revealed in its Christmas splendor. As a main thoroughfare in Prague, the 600-year-old Wenceslas Square was the scene of independence protests in 1918, and also the place where a student named Jan Palach set himself on fire on January 16, 1969 in protest of the Russian occupation. Look for the touching memorial to him on the ground in front of the National Museum. In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the Square is also the starting point for many city tours, along with the expected touristy shops, and restaurants. In winter, the large 'courtyard' becomes a Christmas market. It has a wonderful atmosphere; the chilly air is heavy with the invigorating aroma of mulled wine and pastries. People wander around, jubilant with festive music, and if you are lucky, it may even snow a little! I found a little restaurant that served goulash and settled in with a pint of famous Czech pilsner. Listening to the banter around me, I pulled out my phrase book and read a little, considering the days ahead whilst watching people scurry around the narrow street outside... There is a lot to see in Prague, and, if you are interested in architecture, this is one of the best cities to visit. A couple of days walking around, with or without a tour guide, will have your head spinning with the spectacular construction all around you. One such building that is always sought by visitors is the Astronomical Clock (Starometske namesti) in the Old Town Square. A bizarre and thought-provoking clock, it combines astronomical data with fixed and mechanical figures. The figures surrounding the clock are depictions of three of the seven cardinal sins and, on the right side, Death pulls a bell every hour on the hour while nodding his head to announce that time is up! Charles Bridge, lined with magnificent statues, is another spectacular sight that is also really f un to see on a cruise on the river Vltava (Pron: VOOLtava). A trip to the small town of Kutna Hora to see the famous Bone church is highly recommended. Words cannot do this place justice! The whole interior of the church is decorated with human bones! Other places worth -seeing include Prague Castle, which contains the 'centuries to complete' StVitus Cathedral. In addition, I highly recommend a trip to the Opera (I saw "Carmen") and the museums, such as the Museum of Communism. It is important to remember this difficult chapter in Czech history and the communism exhibit is excellent. It traces the beginnings of communism and its role in the history of the Czech people, along with discussing the resignation of the communist party after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The Czech Republic is a fabulous and ancient place; nowhere in the city can you avoid the echoes of the past. Prague commands respect and mesmerizes with both its amazing beauty and its tragic history, just keep a look out for the bus and train ticket machines! Clockwise from top: Church Portal. A bone chandelier in Kutna Hora. Charles Bridge in the rain. St. Vitrus Cathedral. An old townhouse.

BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Padres opened their 2007 campaign with a 7-0 shutout victory on the road at AT&T Park against the National League West rival San Francisco Giants. It must have been a bit strange for new Giants manager Bruce Bochy to look in the mirror and see black and orange instead of his familiar Padres blue and sand. Bochy managed the Padres for 12 seasons. The rival Giants lured the former Padres skipper, and many other former friars, up the 5 freeway and out of the hearts of San Diego fans. Last year's leadoff man Dave Roberts, lefty slugger Ryan Klesko, and third base coach Tim Flannery / to name a few) joined Bochy's migration north. April 3: It's was game one of, a marathon 162 game schedule and pitted ace Jake Peavy on the mound against Giants starter, and recently signed $126 million dollar man, Barry Zito. A product of San Diego (University High School), Zito left the Oakland A's and followed the greenbacks across thé bay to the Giants. Rookie Padres manager Bud Black hoped to begin his tenure with a victory. Black is a very even keeled guy who was the pitching coach for the LA Angels of Anaheim when they claimed the World Series title in 2002 over the San Francisco Giants in a seven-game thriller. That series gave Black a chance to see Barry Bonds up close and personal. Coming into the season, Bonds, the Darth Vader of baseball outside of San Francisco, has his most career homeruns-"against the~Patfres with 85. That's roughly 12 percent of his 734 total entering this season. He is knocking on the door of the most hallowed recprd in sports, Hank Aaron's 755 career homeruns. * Peavy was lights out, becoming the first Padres starter to win back-to-back opening day starts since Clay Kirby in 1972-73. Peavy pitched six scoreless innings, giving up three hits while striking out six. He pounded the. strike zone with fastballs before handing the ball to his bullpen. Last year's rookie phenom Cla Meredith pitched a scoreless seventh inning and new acquisition Heath Bell did not allow a run in the eighth or ninth. Zito was touched up for three runs in hisfiveinnings and lost his third consecutive opening day start. The offense was highlighted by a career-best four-hit performance by catcher Josh Bard and two doubles from RF Brian Giles. IB Adrian Gonzalez knocked in a run, and newly acquired * LF Jose Cruz Jr. had two RBI. The Padres showed a glimpse of what can make this team very successful. Without a ton of pop in the lineup, this club must get good starting pitching and hand the ball to an extremely talented bullpen. The offense, anchored by Gonzalez, has to produce timely hitting up and down the lineup. The 2007 version of the Padres do not have an abundance of speed so good managing and clutch hitting will be a major factor. The win was the first ever opening day shutout for the Padres in team history. The Giants were shut out for the first time since 1967 and only the third tiffigiTf80 years. �8 Tuesday, April 10, 2007 2007 : A A OC & THE PRIDE E Courtesy of The Pride Sports Teams Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League Last week's key: ACROSS 4 San Diego, CA.

Swamis IPA is a true San Diego original and can only be enjoyed at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. If you have never experienced the fine beer and pizza at Pizza Port, you are seriously missing out. This is a local brewery restaurant that never disappoints. At Pizza Port they brew all of their own beers with some of the finest hops and barley. Year-round they brew eight types of beer but also offer additional selections depending on the season. They have everything from a California Honey Ale that is brewed with the finest honey in California to the Swamis IPA that will stick with you through dinner. The other day after an incredible day of surfing I went home with my arm in a sling. Thinking that my day was over, I got a call from a buddy telling me to meet him at Pizza Port. Even though I was injured I knew that Pizza Port would be just the solution to a hungry belly. So I made my way down to the 101 and found Pizza Port as busy as ever. When I went to order the first pitcher, I was stumped on which brew to choose. The guy behind the counter began to laugh and said, "Man you should get the Swamis IPA. This is our wipe-out beer." When I returned to the table with the pitcher of dark golden Swamis IPA I could see my friend's mouth salivating. The Swamis IPA is a true ale. With so much flavor, you have to drink an entire glass to really appreciate all of the tastes. And when you are done, the bitter ale aftertaste stays with you. This is not a beer for the weak. This is a beer that could leave a lump in your throat if you are a light beer drinker. But if you truly love beer, I recommend trying it.

With his current album, "Awake," available now in stores nationwide, the newly signed Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar high and soar through the music world. In recent years the once unsigned artist proved the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY fashion^ as his independently garnered success still resonates in the hearts of his fans and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter for this emotional songster on Glassnote Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously crafted songs. S e c o n d h a n d S erenade With a sound almost reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint just exactly what Secondhand Serenade sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound and success these days. Readily apparent to anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out of each song, making the album timeless and intimate. In addition to being recently named MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's "Oven Fresh" this week. The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in the past year— Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in the last year in a very independent way. Lots of kids started getting into it, and that led to a lot of opportunities, including finding my current record label, [and] getting together with a great video director. I'm already getting started on the next album now, and I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour. The Pride: How's the tour going for you so far? Vesely: The tour is actually going really well. I'm really happy with the turnout at the shows; there are so many kids coming to support me every night; it's a really good feeling to see them and hear them sing along. And Monty Are I is like the coolest band ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those guys, and we are just having tons of fun. The Pride: You've been extremely popular on MySpace, being in the number one spot multiple times. How has MySpace been an effective toolfor you in your musical career? Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all fronts. It really helped boost my album sales before I even got signed, as well as it's really supporting my tour right now. I'm having several hundred kids come every night, and it's really honestly my first tour, so the turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from MySpace. It's pretty amazing. The Pride: Has signing with a label changed your musical vision at all, or has it helped it? Vesely: Not at all—getting together with a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to effect what I did musically, and I mean, of course it comes with the idea that you have to think about more than just making songs. You have to think about MTV, radio play, retail, all these different elements when you're writing, but the thing you have to think about most of all even, is that all that stuff doesn't even really matter when it comes down to it, you know? The Pride: Is the next album going to be similar to the style of "Awake"? Vesely: My songwriting has definitely evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake." [This] album is going to be a little different; it's going to have some full band stuff, some piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's going to be more interesting. There [are] more elements of orchestration involved. The Pride: What can fans and newcomers lookforward to in 2007? Vesely: They can definitely look forward to the new album coming out by the end of the year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on MTV downloads so that will be really coo}, and we have some touring p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward to me ^ I f ^ l m coming to see them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Only 838 students voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI representatives. The process of electing ASI representatives has not changed in the past three years. Each year, voting is conducted online, one week before spring break. This year, an email was sent to each student on Wed. March 22, reminding students to vote online. Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed. Former Student Representative at Large Conrad Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared to the rest of the candidates.

Franklin explained, "The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this is a time of equal day and equal night. Full equality is all we seek." The procession included flower girl Sheena L.

The wedding party was fancifully dressed in black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns with contrasting sneakers. The mock priest residing over the festive nuptials was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as the two couples approached the priest, and switched positions to represent a gay and a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.

It is counterproductive to talk about strike dates and locations while the process is still continuing." On Wed. March 25, President Karen Haynes and ASI President Roy Lee held a student forum in the President's Boardroom. Some students voiced their concern to Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the potential CFA strike. When Dr. Haynes learned that 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate for what they believe is a fair compensation package." One student told Dr. Haynes that she could make a difference by looking at the CFA and CSU situation in a different way in order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look at it differently, as a student body president, do you realize that you can make a name for yourself that would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a different way." Dr. Haynes replied by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized environment and that the ability to provide compensation is removed. "There are eleven unions in the system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all of them, professional, technical, and service employees, in all of them, there are clear constraints. Administrators in a system like this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going to be directed toward making this campus the best we can and not trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts with electing officials who are pro education." Patricia Worden, Vice President of Student Affairs, told concerned students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's faculty go on strike. CSUSM's homepage will continue to offer updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU. princess, and we want the Disney marriage package. But one of my concerns is that marriage reinforces some very traditional gender and sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA people." Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event, "The Constitution and the Judge." Franklin handed out copies of pocket Constitutions and packs of red, white and blue seed packets, and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the seeds of democracy in your own backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court Judge David RubinfromSan Diego County. Rubin discussed marriage in relation to the constitution and cases relating to marriage.

The website allows users for MyBibPro. to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format which are alphabetized and formatted for printing. MyBibPro allows users to create bibliographies in MLA and APA formats. The online product also offers easier citation of books through a database consisting of 18 million entries, an option to upload saved database citations, access parenthetical citation and footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account which can be accessed from any location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of an original inquiry. MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as author and year of publication. The task can be tedious. However, the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography in MLA format. MyBibPro requires users to merely enter the title while the website generates the remaining pieces of information needed to complete a bibliography in MLA and or APA format. Another benefit of utilizing EasyBib is saving time and energy. The website claims to reduce the time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and as much as two-thirds. During a test run on Stephan R. Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could be made on the ease and swiftness provided by MyBib. The required information was manually entered and with the click of a button a proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready for direct printing. EasyBib seems to be the perfect solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography are a must with all of the required papers at CSUSM. Although CSUSM library's homepage offers adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources in MLA, APA, and other formats all Cougars should be aware of, EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper bibliographies.

True loss of body fat relative to lean muscle does not change in a week or in a month, one must make a lifestyle change and create and diet and exercise plan that they can live with. Alyssa Jacobs asks students to look at dieting and body image in a different way, "a healthy body composition is not something that can be controlled directly; it is reflective of the compounding daily choices we make each day towards a healthy lifestyle." In other words, form follows function. If students are looking for healthy ways to make a lifestyle change and get into shape there are numerous resources on campus as well as on the internet that are free and easy to use. The website www. self.com has a program that challenges the user to get into shape in 3 months, with real workouts and healthy food suggestions. A user can log in and customize a workout log and food log. The workout log tells users exactly how many calories burned during a workout and the food log tells users exactly how many calories he/she ate. The website also gives users weekly workouts and recipes to aid one in not becoming bored with his/her regimen. The entire program is free and easy to use.

However, above and beyond the aweAlthough I almost broke my rule about inspiring structure, and the cheeky Roman 'not arriving in a city after dark', the dusk soldiers who linger around it (be warned of the 'Eternal city' was not at all worrying they really act the part!) the magnificence as I settled down on the Terravision bus to of Rome lies in the fact that everything is the Termini train station. It only took a five nearby. If you do not fancy the walking, minute walk through the cool winter air of there is also the easy to navigate metro Rome to reach the Montestella hostel, and system. However, the best way to see Rome on the way, mopeds galore neatly lined the is to walk, that way you can take everything in, and maintain a healthy schedule narrow old streets. Confidently settled in the hostel, it didn't of espresso and gelato breaks. take long to decide on a restaurant to go Rome is a city with so much to do in. Be to. Using my limited Italian, I managed sure to pay a visit to the Trevi Fountain, the to order a delicious meal of gnocchi in a Circus Maximus—a mass entertainment zesty garlic sauce. A couple of glasses of venue and race track that often hosted charrich red wine in the busy little restaurant iot races—Palatine Hill, Monumneto a Vitlater, and I had planned the events for the torio Emmanuelle, the Pantheon, the Capinext day. First stop: the Colosseum. toline, and the various ancient catacombs— A visit to the Colosseum is seemingly a the list in endless. Being a fan of the artist mandatory thing to do in Rome. It really is Caravaggio, I sought out every place disone of the marvels of the world, and there playing his art, including those housed in is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every corner there lurks another masterpiece, which brings me to another great aspect of the city: signposts. Little black signposts are all over the place pointing this way and that: "Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon this way..." you are absolutely cocooned in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica), along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City is something that everyone should experience; it is a massive expanse of unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the sumptuous feast for the eyes. Rome is a grand place to visit any time of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is less congested, however, the weather may not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly. And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large, round sculpture of a face with the famous "Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name seems appropriate because it was widely believed at the time of its creation that if a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it would be bitten off! Apparently I am not a liar as my hand came out unscathed so it all turned out well, despite the pouring rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up with a fellow traveler and we had a great time exchanging travel stories as we walked through the pouring rain beside the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many fond memories of Rome; it really is an enchanting place and I fully believe that, regardless of whether you visit to embrace history and art, or simply relax and sip cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love with the Eternal City. �O PINION THE PRIDE V ^ X A 1 N AV-ALN Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh New opportunities this Spring BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff WriterI love my family, but I considered disowning them after what happened to me this Spring Break. The Friday that school let put I went to Lo$ Angeles for the weekend. I came back to San Diego on Sunday. I then left on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona with my grandparertts to visit" family and go to baseball spring training. 11:30AM on Tuesday March 27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something to eat. My phone rings while I 'm eating. I don't pick up the phone because I don't recognize the number, and it's too loud in the restaurant to hear. The mystery number leaves a message. / Noon: I jump into the driver's seat of my car, grab my phone and listen to the message. My grandparents begin to chatter. "Hi my name i s -—-- and I am with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts. "Oh shit, please be quiet," I yell t omy grandparents. The me§sage goes on. "I would like to s et up an interviewrwith you on Wednesday or Thursday. Please call me back as soon as you can."^ 3 Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is Joshua Sandoval returning your call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't make a Wednesday or Thursday meeting. Please give me a call back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to meet with you." 12:30PM: Back, on the road to Tucson. There are 40 MPH winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle of dust storms for most of the t rip thus far. The phone rings. It's the call I've been waiting for all my life. I need to devote my full attention towards this call, so I pull over to the side of the road and answer, s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San Diego Padres. We want you to come in on Wednesday or Thursday for an interview." "I'm- actually on my way to spring training as we speak. I'm coming back to San Diego on Friday?' "O.K. well how about Monday at 1PM at the Main offices at 100 Park Boulevard?" "Monday at 1PM sounds great," I gratefully agree to. I love my grandparents and I love my family in Tucson, but if the Padres said the interview had to be on Wednesday or Thursday then I would have turned the car right around. 3:16AM on Wednesday March 28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every time I pass out, I dream about working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that has been on my mind since I got the call. 10:08AM: I get a text message from Karin telling me she has a court side ticket to the Clippers game for me. She knows I'm out of town, but decides to rub it in anyway. 10:09AM: "I love my family... I love my family," I have to keep repeating this to myself so that I don't jump in my car and drive to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only the Clippers. If it was a court side ticket to a Lakers game I would ditch my family and would ask Jack Nicholson to be my new Uncle. I haven't been out of San Diego for 24 hours and I've already delayed My opportunity of becoming a Padre and sitting r f courtside at a Clippers game. 11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys me a new suit. 1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa and I go to the Diamondbacks and White Sox game. D-baeks win 8-0. 6:45PM: I win $100 playing blackjack at a casino in Tucson. I'm starting to feel better about being in Tucson. I no longer have to convince myself that I really do love my family. I really have had some great opportunities in life thanks in part to my family. B y the time this article comes out, my interview will be over. Who knows if I will be a Padre by then?r Either way, I can't believe some of the things I have been able to accomplish with the help of CSUSM and my family. I have worked with the "San Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a job with the San Diego Padres. I may be getting a little sappy as the wind stretch of my college days are nearing* but it's hard to put into words how grateful I am to my family at home and at CSUSM.

Sunny with blue skies and a cool breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank threatened to encroach upon the festivities, but nothing would deter the thousands of car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage. Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos stock and ^H^^^^^SL modified, classics and kit cars - abounded, their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange. In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods cooled their tires in the cavernous space, contestants for the coveted Goodguys Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while their less privileged yet still breathtak- • ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed ! the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs boasting retro images from the 1950s. For the kids, Goodguys offered a free model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m. Kids could build their own model cars and keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there I were how-to seminars from respected hot I rod builders and a meet and greet with hot-rod builderThom Taylor, •jk^ More vendors hawked H P H f e ^ their wares outside as H ^ H H k jubilant drivers cruised H I down the Del Mar HpNationals "Cruisin' B H P R F Lanes" in their cool creations. Barry Meguiar, host of Meguiar's "Car Crazy" television show, seemed omnipresent, his camera crew trailing behind as he sought out the hottest rides of the show. Ifc cial featured areas included Deuces are Wild, Homebuilt Heaven, Goodguys Pro's Pick Area, Ya Gotta Drive 'Em, Mighty Muscle, Fins are Fifty, Youngguys, and a showcase of woodies - for the uninitiated, these vehicles have bodies that are partially made of wood - called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling fountain, the collection of woodies basked in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards and vanity license plates, while a live band played nearby. Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts HBBP^ p erused H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of ^ wares offered by the various vendors and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles, while munching happily on traditional fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees proved that one can never be too young or too old to appreciate the allure of the auto. Families, small children in tew, couples, groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid their money to see the show. Whether clad in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac, show-goers had one thing in common - a love for cars. The magnetic power of the hotrod does not discriminate.

As a result, undergraduate students will pay $252 more. Student fees increased by 14% in the 2004-05 academic year. In the 2005-06 academic year, fees increased by 8%.

Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees Roberta Achtenberg, said, "Student fees are part of the overall revenue mix that is needed to sustain our outstanding university system. The CSU receives its revenues basically from state General Funds and fee revenues. Currently, employee compensation for all employees accounts for 74 percent of the expenditure budget. The trustees are committed to bringing all salaries up to market rate in order to remain competitive. We cannot move forward on this effort without either a larger portion of the state General Fund or an increase in student fees." Dennis Armstrong of the CSU stated, "The Governor's budget assumes $174.5 million from the state General Fund and $123 million in fee revenue, based on a 10 percent increase in student fees and fee revenue associated with a 2.5 percent enrollment growth." Armstrong added, "To eliminate the fee increase, the legislature and Governor would need to provide an additional $65.2 million of state general fund revenue. If any portion of the fees are 'bought out,' the CSU Board of Trustees would rescind that portion of the fee increase," said Armstrong. history program also requires two sets of official transcripts, three letters of recommendation, a 750-word statement, and a formal writing example. The history program marks a significant step in CSUSM's history. With the arrival of this new program CSUSM becomes even more distinguished and unique for current and future Cougars. The program will be the first master's degree combining history and media in the country. The program will also be the only program outside of the east cost offering these specific studies. "Students pursuing CSUSM's Master of Arts in History will not only master a specific historical field but also acquire skills in new media and technology. Our degree allows students to tailor their coursework to their individual historical interests and technological needs. Students will have the option of completing their degree with either a traditional master's thesis or an extensive project involving technology and history. Additionally, the program will provide opportunities for internships and experience teaching history in the college classroom" states the CSUSM History Department's webpage.

It was noted that since 2002, Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. It was also noted that 10% of the CSU budget comes from fee increases and that 80% of the budget comes from the state. This information proved that the increases in student fees do not affect the salary budget for faculty. Although some believe that the increases in student fees add to faculty salaries, the two are unrelated. Student fees, students learned at the meeting, will increase by 91% in the nextfiveyears. Dr. Linda Pershing of the Women's Studies department discussed how the department has seen only one new professor since 2001. Dr. Pershing mentioned that the Women's Studies department will lose one more professor this spring as a result of California's cost of living and the inadequate pay. "We're losing people," Dr. Pershing said. "We can't attract new faculty." Stubbs added, "It does affect us. If teachers don't want to work for the CSU, classes will be cancelled." Stubbs emphasized that students are here to learn from professors who want to be a part of the CSU as much as students do. "60% of Cal State professors come from the CSU," Stubbs said. Upon learning that the CFA will go orf strike before the end of the semester, one student asked Stubbs, "How do we show support?" Stubbs replied, "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them. Sign a commitment card. Pledge to support the two day rolling strike and not cross the picket line." Evelyn Henriquez, a member of ASI's President's Cabinet, discussed. ASI's neutral position on the CFA strike. Henriquez mentioned how ASI's Board of Directors did not ask the President's Cabinet for their stance on the strike. "So they've basically silenced a vast majority of students who have power," said Henriquez. Upon hearing this, a student "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them." -Angela Stubbs President of CSUSQE from the crowd asked, "Is there any way to overturn this vote on ASI?" Henriquez and Stubbs agreed that there wasn't any way to overturn the strike. "On other campuses, ASI is supportive," Stubbs said. "But some are taking a neutral stance." During ASI's March 5 meeting, Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy Mills stated ASI's resolution on the CFA and the CSU collective bargaining. Mills said, "Basically, we are taking the stance that students have no place in the collective bargaining process. There's no way for us to truly know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they do have closed session meetings and the only information we get is when either side walks out of that meeting and spins it and so it's very hard for us to get away from the emotional pleas and get down to the nitty-gritty of what the business is all about. And so basically we're saying that we understand that [faculty] is trying to get a contract negotiation, we understand that it's going to start possibly affecting our student constituency groups. We think that [faculty] should get paid a fair and equitable rate." Mills added, "Not necessarily us on this campus so much, but on other campuses, [students] have been extremely pulled in both directions by their administration and their CFA because for both sides if they get the students on their side, they have a stronger likelihood of getting what they want. We're basically saying we're taking a position of that we don't have a position because there's no way we could have one because it's too complex for us to process." Regarding the time in which students will learn of the strike taking place, one student asked, "How much heads up will we have?" Stubbs replied, "You might have a week, you might have a day before." Regarding Chancellor Reed, another student asked, "How will this affect him?" Stubbs explained that the strike on Twin Oaks Valley Road would generate media attention, immediately resulting in politicians enforcing change. Each campus will sporadically participate in two day rolling strikes until a negotiation is reached. The strikes will not occur in the same two days. One student asked, "Why not do all the strike in two days?" An SQUE representative from CSULA answered, "Then he knows we've done it already, and it gives the other campuses the chance to see who's on strike." dent for being I minor in procession I H of alcohol io Lot N- The non-studentmm l i i l l issued a citation. • -v- Bujfglary ..'

Track Team Looks Great at Occidental Distance Classic March 16, 2007. It was another strong performance for the Cougar track team on Friday, as the squad qualified six more athletes for Nationals at the Occidental Distance Classic. On the men's side, three Cougars earned their trip to the Nationals Championships. They're the first CSUSM men to qualify since the 2005 season. Leading the way was Juan Mejia. The cross country star competed in his first 10k run of the track season, and certainly did not disappoint. He finished 2nd, posting a time of 31:0X08. Two 5,000-meter runners qualified as well for the men. Sergio Gonzalez posted a time of 14:58.70, and Mike Crouch ran 15:11.16. They finished 3rd and 5th, respectively. Finally, though Tony Guadagnini didn't qualify for Nationals, he gave a strong performance in the 1,500m,finishing5th with a time of3:57.83. Not to be outdone, three women qualified for Nationals as well on Friday. Morgan Sjogren, Emily Jones, and Whitney Patton all ran great times and will join the numerous Cougar women who have already earned their way to the Championships thus far. Competing in the 10k, Patton was tremendous. She won the meet easily, and her time of 37:44.20 was over a minute better than the top qualifying standard. Meanwhile, Patton and Jones competed in the steeplechase andfinishedfirstand second, respectively. Patton ran 11:22.24, and Jones finished right behind her with an 11:24.64. Baseball Blasts Central Christian in Double-Header March 17, 2007. Central Christian College came to San Marcos all the way from Kansas, but the Cougars proved to be unkind hosts, sweeping them in a double-header Saturday, > CSUSM came out swinging i n game one, winning4 17 6 M 7 innings; After spotting Central Christian a run in the top of the first, the Cougars exploded for their best offensive inning of the season m the bottom of the frame. Things started slow with a leadoff groundout a routine ball t o the shortstop, but an error allowed the runner to reach. CSUSM would capitalize in a big way, as Scott Shapiro knocked in the firstrun with a single* Austin Way followed that up with an RBI base hit of his own to make the score 2-0, Then Central Christian starter Greg Daugherty began to struggle, hitting Terry Moritz with a pitch to load the bases. After a pop-out, Ian Chatfield was hit by a pitch to push across a run, and Jason Hinton walked to plate another. The next run came across when Ricardo Moran was hit by a pitch. Tristan Gale then delivered a two-RBI double, knocking Daugherty out of the game. But the Cougars weren't done, as Shapiro walked, and Way delivered his second hit of the inning - this time a double that scored two more. When the dust settled, the Cougars led 10-1. CSUSM made it 134 i n the 3rd, as Gale and Way were knocked in by a Moritz groundout and Spencer Pardon single. three solid inning but hit the wall in the fourth, He was greeted with á double and a single, and after á f é^ wild pitches and a walk, a Jacob Morales dpúble madé the game 13-6 and chased Skaalén from the game.

Grant Harrell then pitched a perfect 7th to close out the game. Game two wasn't quite as flashy, but CSUSM picked up the win nonetheless by a 6-2 score. Yet again the Cougars got off to a huge start, this time scoring 6 in the first inning off Central Christian starter Sean Faulkner. Speedy Jason Hinton got the ball rolling with a leadoff single and was drove hoine by a one-out Tristan Gale triple, Shapiro was hit by a pitch for the third time on the day, and Austin Way doubled home another run. Adam Ricciardulli then plated two with a single.

The Cougar bullpen continued to shine as well, shutting down the opposing lineup to close out the game. Lance McCormick struck out two in pitching a scoreless sixth, while David Julio allowed the first two batters to reach base before striking out the side to end the contest. Overall, it was a very successful day for Cougar baseball The young squad's record is now 9-14 on the year, and they appear to be settling in to playing at San Marcos High. The team will hope to carry that over to Mission Bay High on Tuesday though, where they'll take on Westmont Mid-Season report on Cougar Baseball and Softball Photos courtesy of Cory Scoggin / www.scoggart.com BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer This first ever season of the baseball and softball programs at CSUSM are showing promise of a bright future. Head coaches Jennifer Milo, softball, and Dennis Pugh, baseball, are both encouraged by the growth of their teams. At inception, success in terms of wins is not a true indicator of potential. Both squads have improved on thefieldas this year has progressed. Cougar baseball had a terrific showing in the PLNU Spring Classic earlier this month, and the softball team has been hanging tough lately, picking up a couple wins and enduring some close losses in the past seven games. CSUSM softball picked up an early win against then #10 Concordia, but Coach Milo knew it would not be so easy. As of March 16, their record stood at 3-15. The Cougars have lost three games by one run in the last couple of weeks and have been highly competitive as the season wears on. Coach Milo stated, "At the midway point I'd hoped the won/loss record would be a little better but we're happy. After a rocky beginning with a lot of youth on defense, this team is playing much better right now." Following a hard fought game on Saturday March 10, when the Cougars lost at Division 1 opponent and local college USD, Coach Milo exclaimed, "Against a D1 opponent, we were the better team on the field." The Cougars lost that game 4-3 after leading 3-0 late in the game. Earlier this year, USD handed CSUSM an 8-0 mercy rule loss. The goal of this team in its inaugural season is to show improvement, and it has. Some pleasant surprises for the Cougar softball team are Freshmen Erica Coehlo and Elizabeth Bush. Coehlo, labeled "Miss Versatile" by Coach Milo, is hitting .306 and is third on the team in runs scored with 7. "Her main duty coming in was as a pitcher, but she can play anywhere," said Coach Milo. Elizabeth Bush is batting a robust .353 on a team that hits .239 collectively. Bush leads the team with 11 runs scored, and is tied for second in RBI with 8. The Cougar baseball team has not only grown as a unit, the results have translated into victories in the past month. After an 0-7 start, the Cougars have gone 7-7. "I feel great, the team is playing much better, but we have a lot of catching up to do," said Coach Pugh. The PLNU Spring Classic, held March 5 through 8, finished with the Cougars going 3-1. Coach Pugh stated, "We played better teams to start the season." And while they have played well against lesser competition as of late, Pugh is "looking forward to how we rebound. Over the next six or seven weeks we have a lot of tougher games. I'm excited to see how we play against them the second time around." The offense of the Cougars is the strong point, and the young pitching staff is getting more comfortable as the season progresses. SR Scott Shapiro leads the team in RBI with 19 and is batting .329. Tristan Gale is leading the team with a .347 average as a junior. Palomar CC transfer, junior Terry Moritz has been solid, hitting .324 and is tied with Shapiro and Gale for the team lead in HR with 4. As to the recent success Coach Pugh responded, "The kids are getting along. I'm really happy with their progression." Along with the 77 record the past month the Cougars have only lost one game by more than 3 runs in that span. This team is in just about every game, and with a few key hits or a couple defensive plays late in games, they could have a much better record. Coach Pugh encouraged, "Get away from the won/loss record." As for the future of this program, Coach Pugh is very optimistic saying that "recruiting is going well, but it would really help if we had our own facility." The two programs are moving in the right direction. Both head coaches have local area roots enabling them to bring in some talented kids. Getting through this first year of growing pains is a learning experience for coaches and players alike. With a year under their belt, the youth of these teams will continue to gel, while incoming talent will serve to make them a formidable match-up against anybody.

On Tuesday, March 13, Viacom, the mutli-billion dollar media corporation that houses MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Dream Works and Paramount Pictures, filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Google Inc., and its trendy video hosting website, YouTube. The purpose of the billion-dollar suit, one might ask? Viacom claims YouTube is in violation of extensive copyright infringement by hosting Unauthorized and copyrighted entertainment clips; and not only that, but also that YouTube is in violation at least 160,000 times. Additionally, since the claim was filed, Viacom has cited upwards of 50,000 more clips that fall into the same category. Plus, of the initial 160,000 clips, Viacom estimates that the clips have been viewed at least 1.5 billion times. The lawsuit, which was handed over just six weeks after Viacom requested for YouTube to take off at least 100,000 of the unauthorized clips, was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York. To date, the swelling opposition between YouTube and Viacom is the largest altercation between a key media corporation and the broadly wellliked video site purchased by Google last November for $1.65 billion. "Over the past decade, the emergence of broadband networks, Internet protocol a nd' inexpensive wireless networks has revolutionized the way Americans inform and entertain themselves," began the complaint issued by Viacom. "Entrepreneurs have made fortunes providing the networks, the tools and the creative works that have fueled this revolution. But these same innovations have also been misused to fuel an explosion of copyright infringement by exploiting the inexpensive duplication and distribution made possible by digital technology." The complaint continues, "YouTube has harnessed technology to willfully infringe copyrights on a huge scale, depriving writers, composers and performers of the rewards they are owed for effort and innovation, reducing the incentives of America's creative industries, and profiting from the illegal conduct of others as well. Using the leverage of the Internet, YouTube appropriates the value of creative content on a massive scale for YouTube's benefit without payment or license, YouTube's brazen disregard of the intellectual property laws fundamentally threatens not just [Viacom], but the economic underpinnings of one of the most important sectors of the United States economy." In response, Google issued a statement saying that it's "confident YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders." Trying to fall back the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCS) of 1998* Google's lawyers are hoping the DMCA will protect them. Furthermore, even though YouTube has been Consistently plagued with unauthorized material appearing on the site, YouTube sticks to its guns in repeating that it does not control the site's content because users post the content, and have control over what they post. With*the motto of "Broadcast Yourself," and millions of users, it is no doubt that the majority of CSUSM students have visited or even fréquent YouTube and its ,variety of user-posted content. So, what does the billion-dollar lawsuit mean for students? It might mean no more 3 minute clips .of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," or clips of last week's "Colbert Report;" In fact, it very well could mean no movie trailers of clips from DreamWorks Animation favorites like "Shrek," "Sharktale," "Madagascar," and "Shrek 2;" all of which happen to be owned T hürs 22 VOTINGforASI Elections!

Even though Google and YouTube offer free accounts and free access to users, should the lawsuit stay intact even after the appeal of the DMCA, there is no guarantee that there won't be future lawsuits, and unseen costs cast onto users. While there is no statement or public talk of Google or YouTube charging users, there is no telling what the future of the Internet and the user interface of the mighty search engine and its video sharing site will resort to if push comes to shove. However, speculation aside, Google ensures users that "We will certainly not let this suit become a distraction to the continuing growth and strong performance of YouTube and its ability to attract more users, more traffic and build a stronger community." �Feeding the Meine erne on m m BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer l i m •gir Students tend to need a pick-me-up. Balancing classes, homework, exam preparation, and a social schedule is a tall order. What do you reach for when the feet are dragging and the eyes are drooping? Instant energy. Coffee drinks will never be replaced, but the energy drink craze has boomed in the last five years. Red Bull got the ball rolling, and its success has led to the invention of an array of brands and flavors. According to the official Red Bull website, "To feel its effects at best, you should drink it in times of increased mental and physical strain, for example, on long sleep-inducl ing motorways, during intensive workjj| ing days, prior to demanding athletic activities or before tests and exams. It is recommended to drink one can of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30 min before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game in sports." Sounds like a pretty good 'choicl W ^xolfe^-fstutKftt. There are two main on campus sites to obtain a variety of energy drinks. Tim and Sandra Sabatini own and operate the Campus Coffee Cart, which is centrally located between the Commons and Academic Hall. Resting up against Science Hall, the Campus Coffee Cart sells snacks, sandwiches, and a bevy of drinks. They carry roughly 15 different energy drinks, with the cola flavored Rockstar, and the original green label Monster, topping the list. Along with the most popular, they carry: Amp, Rockstar in guava and orange, Monster Chaos, Sobe, and sugar-free versions of most. Sabatini said, "We listen to the students and carry what they recommend. Like Amp (a Mountain Dew derivative), we had requests to carry it and now we do." Tim and Sandra expressed that they encourage student feedback and hope to provide what the student body is craving. According to Sabatini, the Campus Coffee Cart sells "a lot" of energy drinks from open at 7 a.m., to close 5:30 p.m. MTh and 12:30 p.m. on Friday. The second location for an energy drink fix is Cougar Corner. Conveniently located inside The Dome, Cougar Corner is run by Melanie Neidens. Neidens said her most popular energy drinks are original Monster, Red Bull, and newcomer Amp. Cougar Corner San Marcos West ( 760) 5 10-1997 goes through two cases of origi623 Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Cougar Corner is also student friendly, and regarding input from customers §mmrcmB$$t(7$Q} Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride An assortment of energy drinks available on campus. Neidens said, "If they ask we try it, [and] if it doesn't move we don't bring it back." Cougar Corner carries a wide variety with the fruity versions selling slower than the originals. On the recent increase in sales of energy drinks Neidens said, "You are still getting vitamins, Taurine, B12, and other natural energy." Along with the two major outposts on campus, energy drinks can also be found in the nooks and crannys of the CSUSM campus. Most Cofcl-Cola vending machines sell Rockstar, and locations include: Commons above the bookstore, near the Office of Extended Studies near the top parking lot, the second floor of Science Hall 2, and outside the first floor of Kellogg adjacent to the flag poles. Additionally, there are a few Red Bull vending machines on campus with one tucked in the corner outside Markstein Hall with one right next to it that sells Full Throttle Blue Demon, a new up-and-comer according to Neidens. There is another Red Bull machine in the hallway of the Dome, and the Academic Hall side of Palm Court has another vending machine for Full Throttle Blue Demon. "I like the Monster Chaos," said senior Rachelle Acker, "it is fruity and it tastes good." Acker is a regular at the Campus Coffee Cart. "I like the Monster Chaos," said junior Adam Lowe. "It has a sweet citrus flavor kind of like O J." Choosing an energy drink to satisfy one's caffeine fix is becoming increasingly harder with more choices and more locations to choose from. Though energy drinks are different from coffee which can cause a feeling of being weighed down, and even a stomach ache, energy drinks do carry their own side effects. As energy drinks continue to sell fast at CSUSM, it important to keep in mind the effects energy drinks and the large amounts of caffeine they contain can have on one's health. Not only can high caffeine consumption cause brief changes in one's behavior, but it can also cause hyperactivity, increased blood pressure, irregular heart beats, and unhealthy spikes in blood sugar. Not to mention that caffeine is a highly addictive substance. Caffeine is a stimulant for the nervous system, providing the extra kick we have all come to rely on, especially during midterms. But, just like any other stimulant, its effect does wear off eventually, and putting the body into overdrive for an extended period of time will begin to take its toll. Thus, with the widespread popularity of energy drinks on campus, and the rapid rate at which students consume them, it is important to keep in mind that just because they are called "energy" drinks, it does not mean they are healthy or good for you. �Recipes for Spring Break disaster 10 Courtesy of The Pride 12 13 14 Last week's key 15 17 18 20 22 23 The three letters of most concern w hen being promiscuous.

This is how it went: Bud Black: "As the new manager, I would like to discuss our plans heading into the season. First, lets call roll. Adams, check. Bard, check. Barfield... Barfield.. Josh Barfield?" Trevor Hoffman: "IJh Skip, the boss dealt him to Cleveland for Kouzmanoff." Black: "Kouzma-who? Whatever, I guess this is an old roster. Forget roll call, lets do some introductions. You over there with the reading glasses, what's your name?" Jake Peavy: "Skip, that's Greg Maddux. He's only won four Cy Young Awards, 16 Gold Gloves, and a World Series championship." Black: "I know, Jake. I'm just messing with Mad Dawg. We go way back. I remember back on September 8, 1991 when I was with the Giants we beat Maddux and the Cubs 4-3 with a four run 7th." Cla Meredith: "Dang, Skip. How old are you two? In 1991,1 was in little league." Black: "Don't worry about it. On to other business. We have a gap in left field that we need to fill. We have a number of..." David Wells: "Hey Bud, do I really have to stick around for this? I mean, I'm a pitcher, not an outfielder. Not to mention, happy hour starts in 10 minutes." Black: "Just hang a little longer, David. We'll get you out of here soon." Terrmel Sledge: "Skip, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for the spot in left." Black: "Tell me about yourself. Which team were you with last season?" Sledge: "I was with this team. I only got into 38 games, but..." _ Marcus Giles: "Skip, Brian just gave me a wet willy." Black: "Brian, leave your brother alone." Brian Giles: "He did it first." Black: "So like I was saying. We need a left fielder since Bochy took Roberts and Klesko with him to the Bay." Russell Branyan: "I can do it. I've always wanted the chance to be an everyday player. I think I could hit 40 jacks if just given the opportunity." Black: "As good as 40 homers sounds, it's your 200 strikeouts I'm afraid of." Adrian Gonzalez: "Coach, I can play left field and first base if you need me to." Black: "Gonzo, I wish I could write your name twice in the everyday line-up, because by the looks of last year's stats, you and Piazza were the only offensive threats. Speaking of Piazza, he's late to the meeting." Hoffman: "Sorry to bring this up, Skip. But, the Boss let him go to Oakland." Black: "Well, looks like we need to fill that position too." Chris Young: "Skip, I've worked out a simple mathematical equation that will result in a World Series championship if Rob Bowen becomes our everyday catcher." Mike Cameron: "Chris, I know you went to Princeton, but that's just dumb. Where did you get this idea from?" Young: "I got it from this guy named Josh Sandoval. He seems to know what he's talking about. He can be reached at Sando026@csusm.edu." On March 13, 2007 I arrived on Campus around 8:45 that morning (the regular time I arrive for a 9 AM class). I turned on to Campus Way from Barham Dr. I continued [turning} right onto Campus View Dr. to head towards parking lot C. After waiting in a huge line of traffic for almost [ten] minutes just to turn right onto Craven Dr, the [police] officer finally let the cars move. Then while waiting to turn left into parking lot C, another officer held the cars [there] for almost [another] [four], to [five] minutes. I noticed that there are normally one or two parking [attendants] directing traffic in the morning, but on March 13, there were actual police officers. These officers may have been trying to help move traffic along better, but had actually cause me (I am sure others as well) to be late for class. While waiting in the large line of cars, I had noticed there was no pattern for the directions the officer was giving, not giving cars in each direction a change to cross the intersection. There has been less traffic without any direction in the morning than with these officers. The parking [attendant] that usually directs traffic in the morning and at [University] hour does a much better job. Please keep the officers away from traffic [direction;] it is only making more traffic! -Dan Evans 28 California Legislators address CFA strike; urge CSU (Mtfantta legislature STATE CAPITOL SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA March 12,2007 Dr. Charles Reed Chancellor California State University 401 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802 Dear Chancellor Reed: As members of the California State Legislature we believe one of the most critical challenges facing the California State University this year is the impending faculty strike. We are disappointed at reports that after over 20 months of bargaining there is still no contract agreement with the California Faculty Association. As we know you are aware, CSU faculty salaries are much lower than faculty salaries at comparable universities, and the average salary for CSU tenure-track faculty is actually lower than the average salary of tenure-track faculty teaching at community colleges. While you have argued that CSU campuses are strugglingfinancially,you awarded your executives salary and benefit increases that average 23% over the last several years. Given your administration's willingness to entertain salary increases for executives, we urge you to accept the challenge of negotiating equitable increases for faculty as soon as possible and avoid any further delays. A few years ago you signed a Compact funding agreement with the Governor, hailing it as a significant breakthrough to ensure CSU funding stability - an agreement that was reached without your ever notifying the legislature of these discussions. Prior to t hat your administration ventured on a colossal information technology project - again, without the advice and oversight of the legislature - that was highly criticized in a state audit, for everything from its $660 million costs to its inoperability and closed bidding process. While we may not understand your reasons for such decisions, we view these as examples of misplaced priorities that give little appreciation for the circumstances of faculty and students in your system. We, the undersigned members, urge you to settle this contract with your faculty. Your Compact agreement was signed with the understanding that it would provide sufficient funding for CSU campus needs, including the salaries of all its employees - n ot just executives. The CSU is a teaching institution, and you must respect and nurture this mission above all else. Now is the time to settle your differences with the faculty, before a strike occurs and before we begin state budget hearings. We find a 20-month delay unacceptable. Given the number of critical challenges facing the CSU, we encourage you to prioritize your efforts in the next few weeks to focus on attending to the faculty's reasonable contract terms. We await your reply.

Idriss inquired with a grin. In any other situation this would seem to be a very odd question indeed; however, this question was posed during the run up to the Muslim holy day of Eid Al-Adhha which involves a sheep sacrifice. I was quite pleased that Idriss had brought sheep into the conversation; after aM,Twasvery curious about Muslim culture, and throughout my three day stay Idriss (a local guide) was more than happy to tell me all about it. I decided to leave Marrakesh, Morocco, to travel north to reach Fez, as I had heard a lot of good things about the city. The added allure of Fez being that I could also visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. In addition to visiting Fez, I wanted to stop off in Meknes and, time permitting, I also hoped to spend a day in Casablanca, which is almost on the way back to Marrakesh; well, not so much 'on the way' as a few hours train ride to the coast. However, first things first: I had to get from the train station to my accommodation, a 400 yr. old traditional Moroccan Riad. A wild petite taxi ride later, and I was dropped off at the Hotel Jamaiis near the ancient walls of the old town Medina. The entrance to Medina was too small for motor vehicles, so I had to make my way to the Riad through the uneven, high-walled Medina passageways by foot. Luckily, it was not hard to find, and when the large, unassuming exteripr door was opened up— i was completely blown away by what I saw. Everything was covered in small colorful mosaics, and in the center of the rectangular courtyard, a beautiful fountain bubbled away soothingly. Four high interior walls surrounded the courtyard. These walls contained all the rooms. Large mosaic-covered columns supported the roof, while spectacular wooden shutters covered the various stained glass windows of the rooms. To be honest, staying a Riad is the best way to get a feel for Moroccan life. In addition, staying in a Riad also allows one to taste the most authentic food, which is exactly what Luiza—the Riad owner—astounded me with as I settled down to dinner in the coolness of the courtyard. A huge, fragrant assortment ofMoroccan style tapas was presented to me, after my hands were washed in rose water. And, amongst the offerings was a multicolored array of locally grown olives—my favorite! I soon realized however, that this was only the first course. Subsequently, plates and plates of exoticlooking sweet and spicy smelling foods were brought out to me, along with a brief explanation of what everything was. Needless to say, I went to bed that night very satisfied, which was a good thing as I had an action packed day planned the next day. Fez is basically three cities in one: Fez el J'did, Fez el Bali— the old town in which I stayed—and the new town, "Nouvelle Ville." The sand-colored high fortress still surrounds the Medina of Fez el Bali and is one of the largest living medieval cities in the world. I decided to go on a tour with Idriss around the souqs (marketplaces) of the Medina, as I had heard that navigating through them yourself was next to impossible, and a few minutes later I was able to see why. The souqs (pronounced 'sooks'), which turned out to be right around the corner from the Riad, were incredible; a veritable maze of high-walled, narrow alleys lined with various street vendors. People were everywhere, going about their daily lives. Pungent scents leapt into the air as I walked by the assortment of stalls. After a while, Idriss and I stumbled upon a courtyard full of donkeys and bleating sheep. Inevitably, it turned out to be the place to buy sacrificial sheep along with the hay to feed them. The courtyard naturally contained a great deal of banter between the vendors and buyers and the air was a buzz with contagious energy. Indeed, it was at this point that I felt so truly electrified that I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I was completely immersed in a world that was so unbelievably different and this was only day one of my travels in Fez. The souqs of Fez were and still are today a wonderful assault on the senses and is one ^of the ^biggest draws to the area. Yet, in my opinion, there is so much else to do like a trip to the ancient city of Meknes and the stunning Roman ruins of Volublis. In all, if you are in Morocco, do not be daunted by the 10 hour train ride to get to Fez from Marrakesh as it offers a very different experience than that of Marrakesh. In fact, one thing I noticed was that everyone on the train was very friendly and very talkative; within minutes the whole car was chatting together. In fact, it was here on the train that I had some very informative conversations about Morocco and the Muslim faith. At one point I sat beside a man who worked for the King's sister! It doesn't get more culturally enriching than this, so get out there, especially those of you who are timid. Explore your senses of wonderment and treat yourself to a taste of the unknown. It will enrich you in ways you never thought possible. �CD r e v i e w : ^ ftftfttt<% . '% Sticky bubblegum pop with Sherwood BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Sherwood, the indie quartet from San Luis Obispo, Ca. credits their name inspiration to the enchanting green forest in the tale of "Robin Hood." And, although there are no tights or feather-decorated hats to be found on the guys of Sherwood, the morale in "Robin Hood" of good triumphing over evil fares well with the motto of Sherwood's latest release, "A Different Light." Previously signed to SideCho Records for their last full-length, "Sing But Keep Going" and "The Summer EP," releases the switch from SideCho to MySpace Records has unquestionably been a positive transformation for the band ofcreative twenty-somethings. Comprised of Joe Greenetz (drums), Nate Henry (vocals, bass guitar), Dan Koch (guitar, vocals), and Mike Leibovich (keys, percussion), Sherwood's makeup is all about making a difference through the causes they support: Music Saves Lives, More Important Than Music, and Save Darfur. Reflecting an optimistic outlook, "A Different Light" is uplifting and easy on the ears, not to mention fun to sing along to. Reminiscent of earlier Relient K, with a hint of Motion City Soundtrack, Sherwood's sound and style—although catchy and as poppy as bazooka bubblegum—is comparable to that of Mae and Waking Ashland. Of the 13 tracks on "A Different Light," there are quite a few standout tracks. The title track, "Middle of the Night," "Song In My Head," "Give Up," and "Never Ready to Leave" are all smashing hits on "A Different Light." Additionally, "For the Longest Time" is a snappy ditty, with plenty of "bop-bop-bahs" to croon along to. "Never Ready to Leave" is drenched in Motion City Soundtrack harmonies and could almost be the baby sister to Motion City Soundtrack's single "LG Faud." "Alive" begins with a softer Beach Boys vibe then progresses into another boppy and entertaining cut. Rightly so, there isn't one track on "A Different Light" that leads the listener astray. There is no way to go wrong with Sherwood's latest release. Furthermore, for the Sherwood fans out there, Sherwood is scheduled to make a pit stop in San Diego on their current tour at the House of Blues downtown along with Mae and Relient K on April 11. Set to play in the middle of the lively lineup, the April 11 show should be a magical and memorable gig for band members and fans alike.

Images of women from all walks of life, from various parts of the globe, spanning seven decades hang side by side, forming a surprisingly cohesive collection. "These images enrich our understanding of how women looked, were treated, or asserted themselves in various eras, from the late 19th to the early and mid-20th century," said Carol McCusker, MoPA Curator of Photog- * raphy. "Collectively, they act as a tribute to the. ageless art of portraiture and to women of energy, confidence, endurance, humor and intelligence everywhere." In Bert Hardy's "Goodbye" (1942), two women on a train platform wave. One presses a handkerchief to her mouth, her perfect suit contrasting with the fear and sadness in her eyes. It is May 23,1942 in Great Britain; three days later, Rommel would begin an offensive against British troops at Gazala. Though it is a British train platform in the picture, British women, the same scene was being played out in the United States, as American women in their smart suits were waving goodbye, praying for the safe return of their loved ones. Today the scene remains the same - different place, different time, same heartbreak. The juxtapositions and subtle connections between images make for a powerful viewing experience. A young Latina gazes rebelliously within a wreath of roses in Luis Gonzales Palma's "La Rosa" (1989), a handpainted photogravure. Nearby, "She is a Tree of Life to Them" (1950) depicts a young black mother holding her children close, in her eyes a look of distrust mingled with defiance. On the same wall, a woman dries cloth in 1970s Vietnam, a lone black figure against a sea of white cloth. On another wall, Heinrich Kuhn's "The Breeze" (c. 1904) captures two English women in Victorian dress standing upon a grassy knoll being harassed by a roguish breeze; one woman's jacket is blown open, exposing the high-collared pristine white blouse beneath. There is a large element of subjectivity when viewing any exhibition, but it seems that that element takes on a particularly powerful role in the exhibition. "I am bringing my own experience to this collection, and that you the viewer will have your own journey through it. The joy here is not just in the quality of the art, but also in the wonderment at the who, what, where, when, and how of these women," Whoopi Goldberg stated, in the forward to the exhibition's accompanying book. The viewer can't help but bring his or her own experiences — memories of loved women, cultural associations, cherished ideals of feminine beauty - into the museum. Whether the images correspond to one's beliefs and memories or whether they contradict them, "Woman: A Celebration" is an experience not to be quickly forgotten. "Woman: A Celebration" will be on view at the Museum of Photographic Arts through May 6, and those wanting to take the experience home with them may purchase the book for $22.95 at MoPA's bookstore.

Restaurant review: Local deli tastes like home BY SHAWN MCKECHNIE Pride Staff Writer Few students have ever heard of Tina's Deli, and even those that have can rarely remember where it is. This legendary San Marcos sandwich shop is located just on the other side of the freeway at 760 North Twin Oaks Valley Road. It is a small, family owned deli that likes to consider its food as "more than; a meal." % \• The atmosphere is simple 'with plenty of bench seating ¡around the counters and epctra seating in backforthose that do not like to eat on the run. The sandwiches run the gambit from the classic BLT to the always delicious Torpedo, a sandwich that cannot be explained only enjoyed. The clientele is exactly what you would expect because of its close proximity to both Palomar and CSUSM. Students make up most of the business, but it is extremely common to see administrators, teachers, police andfirefighterscatching a quick bite to eat on their lunch breaks. The service at Tina's is rivaled by few restaurants, and the staff seems to know every patron's name. How they do this is a mystery, but it adds, to the small town feel that they seem to strive for. Not only is the staff outgoing and personable, but there is a strong sense of community while taking luiiph ai the deli. It is hard to sit and eat without seeing-someone that you know from class, a teacher that you have previously had, or friends that you did not know you would meet there. This adds to the friendly community atmosphere that makes Tina's more than a deli. The price is reasonable and most sandwiches are around five dollars, with students getting an extra 10% off, which is a nice bonus. There is no such thing as a "combo meal" or "supersizing," but they do have plenty of chips and drinks to choose from if you find yourself wanting a little bit more. Service and atmosphere are both good things when considering where to eat, but what really matters is the quality of the food. Each sandwich^ made to order but tastes more like something a mother would make than a restaurant. These days it is hard to find good home cooked meals, but at Tina's a warm cup of soup and a hearty sandwich is the standard/From the thick slices of bacon to the insane amount of meat theyfiton their sandwiches, Tina's Deli doe's everything above and beyond what students have come to expect from every other San Marcos eatery.

X V I I N O. 7 Historic Tukwut courtyard dedication BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional cool breezes, and the sun shining warmly and brightly, the courtyard near Cougar Central was officially dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. The beautiful day marked not only a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that began with the University's first class in 1990. Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She said that the University decided to honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an unofficial mascot After Tukwut, the Luiseno word for mountain lion, (pronounced "took-woot") was given to Cal State San Marcos, it was only used intermittently and inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006 and 2007 also choose to honor the indigenous people of this land as evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard." The dedication ceremony included a dedication prayer from Pauma Band Chairman Chris Devers, who also sang a traditional Luiseno song with his son, Chris Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

The new program is available to all CSUSM students, and works similar to the in person appointments offered. Like all WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center is located in Kellogg 1103, and is open from Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I n response to the question, what inspired this program, the director of the writing center since 2005, Erin Goldin responded, "Many university writing centers already offer online tutoring. This campus is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to the writing center for tutoring. This way, busy students can still get help." Now easier than ever, asking for advice about any class paper is achievable in four simple steps through online tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer a few simple questions about the assignment like when is it due, what class is it for, and the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response. Writing consultants suggest putting "as much information as possible in response to the questions when submitting online for optimum feedback." Most responses will take three to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are. Goldin still recommends making an appointment to come in whenever possible because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend thirty minutes. The more interaction there is, the more information and feedback the student receives." Students can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to check for available time slots. The center also offers workshops on a variety of different topics every Tuesday during university hour in University Hall? room 440.

Wayne Nelson and two others from the La Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion. About ten Indian speakers spoke during the ceremony which around 100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker was thankful for the acknowledg- ment and recognition extended to them by the renaming of the courtyard. Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend the student body for continuing to acknowledge that" Patty Duro, Rincon Band Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be here and to have our people and our language recognized here." Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band Member and Director of the Rincon Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students and current students of CSUSM saying, "When they do think about this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and strong and proud, and that's what we should all be— proud to be Luiseno."

' I $M From WORKERS, page 1 . One group of students carpooled to a grassy hill on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe in Encinitas. The other group of students arrived at the Home Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both sites, migrant workers are known to stand on the sidewalk and wait for strangers to hire them for work. Before the students left to meet the workers, A nne Skidmore of Intervarsity said, " They'll tell you about people who will hire them for work and t hey'll paint their house all day long and then t hey'll say, they don't pay us and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore encouraged the students to be open with the workers. " They're not u sedtd being treated well by the community. These guys have amazing stories. Most of them are open to share and t alk." . When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau loaded her white Honda with plastic bags f ull of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, apple juice, orange j uice, nature valley bars and water. Brideau arrived at the Home Depot site with about 20 students to meet Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena and the workers. But once the students parked and gathered, a security guard approached them. The security guard told Brideau that she would have to park her car across the street, in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center because her car contained the food for the workers. Once Brideau parked across the street, students met her t o carry the plastic bags f ull of food and the gallons of orange juice. In the time it took for students t o walk across the street, a Sheriff arrived at the Home Depot. The Sheriff had arrested one of the workers. If any of the men are to step beyond the unmarked line that separates the sidewalk f rom the parking lot, they could be immediately arrested. Marchena suggested that the students tell the Sheriff what they were h ere t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant workers, let them know that they were students f rom CSUSM and asked if they wanted anything to eat or d rink. One student said to a worker whom he had j ust given a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol." The man replied, "Poco English." At this, each young man shrugged and smiled. The Spanish speakers of the group were able t o hold longer conversations with the men, which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves said, "I thought it was really rewarding to come catch them o ff guard and they let u s in and told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little of what they were saying. They were really f un and easy t o talk to." One of the men told Spada that when a local bank across the street had been robbed, the police immediately questioned the men. Spada said that the man she was speaking to said, "They might have thought it looked like me but I would have never done something like that." Students also gave flyers to the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where their children could be tutored. The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach that holds Spanish masses. Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said, "They were saying that i t's tough to get a j ob— sometimes you get work, sometimes you don't. They come here for food; they're very impoverished. They cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and leave their families behind. So many people blame migrants for coming here j ust for the benefits. But how can they [get] benefits like health care, if citizens can't even get i t?" Carillo added, " In reality they are people who want t o help." I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most students had enough time t o talk with the men, the border patrol showed u p for the man who had been arrested. Some of the men, however, sprinted into the street in spite of the opposing t raffic t o avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said, "One particular thing that stood out t o me is that as the men saw the other guy being arrested and they were telling me that it made them angry because the action of one guy reflects on the others." Ramirez added, "I asked them if they were treated well, and they said for the most p art it is very p eaceful except when the minute men are there. The minute men t ry t o pull them over a certain line so that they will get arrested. They also told me that there was one time where three gangsters came and stole their valuables, and the security guard did nothing." The event itself inspired ASI and Intervarsity t o recruit more students t o serve these men more o ften. Marchena said, "There's a Catholic organization t hatreaches out t o migrant workers and the homeless. We need t o see how we can fit in with t hem— how we can do this more consistently, at least once a month. You kinda get Top: C SUSM student Thomas Colby pours orange juice for an appreciative migrant worker from Oaxaca. Above: Students witness the location where migrant workers live in North County.

They begin with looking at the overall goals ofthe paper, and not so much on sentence structure and spelling errors. The website states, "Our goal is to help you become a better writer, and we try to focus our sessions on tools or strategies that will help you on future papers." Usually they address the larger issues in a paper, such as the thesis and whether or not the student has met the requirements of the teacher's prompt. Although, from time to time, they mention things like, are you sure this is a complete sentence?" Goldin said. "Rather than making the correction for the student, students still do the work, but receive help through feedback." Consultants are ready and waiting for a positive response to the new program. Goldin shares, "We expect the pace to pick up once people get used to the idea." Goldin and others in the writing center spent the last six months researching what other online tutoring services are like, in order to develop the best program suited for CSUSM California Lottery grants provide the grant funding that makes this program available.

President Haynes, in addition to supporting the renaming of Tukwut Courtyard, has also formed the Native Advisory Council, one of only two throughout the Cal State University system. President Haynes said, "Today, thanks to our student leadership, and continued help and assistance from our neighbor elders, we are ready to commit this naming gift to a permanent name for a special part of our student life, our newly named Tukwut Courtyard." President Haynes also spoke of plans to raise funds to build a memorial statue in the courtyard.

He urged those listening to contemplate the meaning of being a Tukwut for themselves. The naming of the courtyard marks the first permanent presence of Tukwut at CSUSM. Lee said, "Tukwut is here, and it is not going away." About the ceremony, Biggs said, "It was a wonderful day for Luiseno people and for the university— one I will hold in my heart forever."

When three young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with a camera, sought out for excitement in Africa— the only excitement they found were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into the life of a child soldier. According to Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends found themselves "stranded in Northern Uganda" and dedicated their time in there to "exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story." Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in the United States are gluing macaroni to a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as young as 8 in Uganda are systematically being kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces what should be a book or a pen, and according to the website, the children are "then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters." A few number of children are able to escape, however, the majority of the children [m/lÚblt remain in LRA for the remainder of their lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped. The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob, Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the website, "through their eyes, we relive the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother, and the innate joy— found only in a child." Because of their time in Uganda, the filmmakers decided to share this film and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus began the movement that is called Invisible Children. Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and girls receive no education in Northern Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called "The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan mentors for war-affected children." In the ICEP (Invisible Children Education Program), each child is provided with a mentor who aids the child not solely for academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success, and foster leadership success." There are currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for Schools" is a program that is much more like a competition, for schools across the United States to raise money to help build schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to help build a school with the money that was raised. According to the website, "the entire area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly 95% of the people in Northern Ugandan districts forced to evacuate their homes are now living in camps, earning no monetary income, and living in absolute poverty." Invisible Children also started the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Cal State San Marcos requires students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate students, irrespective of major, must fulfill this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will be placed on hold, and they will be unable to register. The computer competency requirement, or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test. However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes will no longer be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy change approved by the Faculty Senate on the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency Requirement subcommittee." The CCR website goes into more detail about the test, which classes satisfy the requirement, and provides study material and the exam schedule. It can be found here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency. The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright, Northern Ugandans living in camps a way to earn money. The bracelets are hand-made from reed and recycled wire, and sold in the United States; the money that is raised from the campaign goes back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to support each other and raise awareness to help the people of Northern Uganda in their struggle to survive.

The Internet section tests students on using the Internet to obtain information. The word processing proficiency section discovers if students can use basic features within Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section tests students on using basic features in Microsoft Excel. Students may take the CCR test as many times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said, "There is no penalty for taking the exam multiple times." The exam itself can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30 p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room 202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a print/copy card with approximately $2 on it and something to write with. Print/copy cards are available to purchase in Kellogg Library. There is no time limit on the test, and there is no need for students to complete all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the test. The sections are graded separately, that way if a student fails one section, he or she needs only to retake that section, instead of the entire test. No appointment is needed. Scores are posted on SMART Web within each student's profile.

With a record tying 25 trades at the deadline involving 44 players and 26 draft picks being exchanged between 27 of the 30 NHL teams. The trade deadline also makes the playoff picture become clearer. With six teams in the Eastern Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April, four of them were active at the deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres traded backup goalie Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers, putting the weight on 2nd year goalie Ryan Miller to carry the remaining load and team through the playoffs. The Sabres also acquired Danius Zubrus from the Washington Capitals in a move that gives the team depth to a long list of injured forwards. The Southeast Division leader, Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl Stewart. These additions give Tampa Bay depth in their defense and much needed toughness. The Pittsburgh Penguins added veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young team a talented veteran forward who will be able impact the team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of toughness to the team that needs to protect their young sensations in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Stall. The Atlanta Thrashers made a bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to rejuvenate a struggling offense. Tkachuk will give the Thrashers another talented player who will join a team that already has a list of great players. With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, these four teams made adjustments in hopes of giving their team the advantage over the other. The New York Islanders brought a shock to the hockey world as they received Edmonton Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth. Smyth gave the Oiler fans a tearful goodbye, which brought flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other three teams. The defending Stanley Cup Champions, Carolina Hurricanes added Anson Carter in hopes of Carter regaining the 33-goal touch that he had the previous season in Vancouver. The Toronto Maple Leafs added center Yanic Perreault to the team who will provide a gritty, strong face-off man. The last team in the race would be the Montreal Canadians who appeared to pull themselves out of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the team later down the road when he makes the pros. In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators acquired Flyers captain Peter Forsberg. Forsberg was looked at as the biggest name on the market at the deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round pick. Forsberg finishes the miss- ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who could make an impact on their team, and Forsberg should do that as long as he stays healthy. Not far behind the Predators in the standings is the Detroit Red Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers. Bertuzzi is currently hurt but should be joining the Red Wings prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi could give the Red Wings that extra edge in a playoff series with his scoring and playmaking ability. The San Jose Sharks added veteran forward Bill Guerin from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin gives the Sharks another scorer who should fit right in with last years MVP Joe Thornton. The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks, and one second and third round pick by trading both Tkachuk and Guerin. And if both these players return to St. Louis at the end of the season, St. Louis will be looking at this deadline as a great way to rebuilding a team that once made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row. The Dallas Stars were able to add long time Kings captain Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give the Stars a talented veteran blue liner who has great leadership. Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy. Nagy could be a great pick for the Stars if Nagy can regain the scoring capability he had in past seasons. The biggest shock of them all was how the Pacific Division leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to acquire a steady defense and a big named forward for the Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line. The Ducks failure to acquire a big name player allows the other Western Conference teams to strengthen themselves and better prepare themselves for when they face the Ducks in the playoffs. For the teams that knew they were going to the playoffs, they choose to buy while those who were already out decided to sell their players for their futures. There can only be one Stanley Cup Champion, which means 29 losers who will be rebuilding for next year. One thing is for sure; it is anyone's game. m ake i nformed, h ealthy c onfident c hoices Itium 277 S.

Luckily enough my destination, The Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel, was situated in the Temple Bar - one of the most celebrated (or detested) and pub congested areas of Dublin. Temple Bar is truly a sight to wander into. It is an area of narrow, cobblestone streets, packed with people virtually twenty four hours a day, albeit mostly of the tourist variety. It is not just a festival of pubs, there are eating establishments aplenty, and it is f ull of art galleries, theatres and children's entertainment.

Starting out from Temple Bar, the heavily trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes you across the river Liffey to the bustling shopping areas streets of the north, and O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. O'Connell St. is a busy street lined with department stores, magnificent statues and, if you are feeling too lazy to walk, you can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion is that you walk, walk, and walk! Dublin is a very compact city and you can reach many attractions by foot. One place that is worth a visit, on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells" is housed here, and is truly breathtaking, as is the extensive library. Ireland is famous for its contributions to literature: indeed both the Dublin writers and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i ever, as a big Oscar 1 Wilde fan, I was keen A to see the Wilde house. The house itself is part of the American College of Dublin campus and it is an interesting, if small, exhibit.

The pub has a panoramic view of the city and serves only two drinks'normaP Guinness (room temperature) and cold Guinness. It would have been easy to spend a lot of time at the storehouse, but I still had a lot I wanted to see: Dublin Castle, Dublinia the Viking exhibition and the infamous Kilmainham Gaol.

Here is the situation first. Vladimir Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers is making 5.2 million dollars this season. He loves to snowboard, which can be a dangerous sport. So the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to snowboard while under contract with the team. Turns out, the Lakers were right about Radmanovic because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during the all-star break. He initially lied about it, because he knew he would face punishment if the team found out. Shortly after living the lie he made like George Washington and told the Lakers what happened. They quickly answered back with a 500,000 dollar fine because he violated his contract and will miss two months. My question, is it right for the Lakers to say he can't do a certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other industry do you see it written into a contract that you aren't allowed to do certain types of extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily separated his shoulder taking the trash to the bottom of the driveway. I know the team is just trying to cover its butt from having to pay an injured player who (August 22 - September c a œ isn't contributing to a team, but what's 500,000 thousand to a multi-million dollar franchise. It may seem a lot to you and me, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss cleans his hands with 100 dollar bills. It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as regular human beings because they make millions of dollars. I for one know that when I'm a millionaire one day I'm still probably going to be the same goofball that I am now and will partake in the same activities that I do now. What if someone told you that you couldn't do one of your favorite activities anymore? I can just imagine someone telling me one day that I shouldn't play basketball anymore because I may sprain a wrist and wouldn't be able to type. The way that I look at it is that you make your own decisions and you should live with them. You may think Radmanovic is stupid for snowboarding when he was specifically told not to, but I think he's bad and not bad as in bad, but bad as in good. He is living his life, doing the things that he wants to do. Here's another question for you? Would you have lied like Radmanovic originally did or would you have come clean right away like he eventually did? I don't know what I would do. It's-hard to say unless you're in the actual situation, but I have a feeling I probably would have done what he did. I know most people think the exact opposite of what I've said so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Beer of the Week Karl Strauss Amber Lager BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Evil Blue Thing," my friend said as I resumed my seat next to her at the bar. "Yeah, but what's it called," I responded, pointing to the brilliant blue libation in her hand. She j ust giggled, and I realized that The Evil Blue Thing was already working its malevolent magic. The beverage seemed to glow with impish potential. Sinfully sweet, but not saccharinely so, the Evil Blue Thing goes down smooth, feels warm and creamy on the tongue, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in one's mouth. Like many mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts of alcohol, so the Evil Blue Thing can easily live up to its name if the drinker is innocent and allows him or herself to get tricked by the Thing's wicked charms. That said, the Evil Blue Thing can be a pleasurable companion if one is savvy and enjoys sweet (shocking blue) cocktails. To make your very own Evil Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2 ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2 ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir, serve, and enjoy! BY KENNY KING Pride Staff Writer Not far from our campus is one of San Diego's gems, a Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant. Karl Strauss Brewing Company has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in Downtown San Diego, opened to the public on February 2,1989. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment, which more than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight types of beer year-round. The Amber Lager was their featured beer while my friends and I were at the brewery. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was turning 23, and my # friends and I were contemplating where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out ideas. Then, I looked down at the beer in my hand and read "Karl Strauss." I knew at that moment where we would be feasting that evening. Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination for a f un night out. Not only were we served delicious food, but we also had a variety of delicious beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening my memory was not functioning at f ull capacity, but there was one beer that stuck in my memory; it was the Amber Lager. This beer is copper in color with a slight sweetness that Cascade hops provide. It is a lager, so it is fermented at cold temperatures, which provides for a very smooth finish. The amber lager complements almost any food. We enjoyed an array of their appetizers, which were all delicious with the Amber Lager. The Amber Lager is Master Brewer Karl Strauss's favorite beer and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can find it almost everywhere locally in San Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have it on tap. Also, most grocery stores and Beverages and More carry it. But I recommend head- ing up to the brewery. If you are with your friends or on a date, it is good spot to have a good time and enjoy great beer.

"I was really interested in this movie initially because "of Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested in the movie because I read the script, and then I was interested in it because I had seen the director's first film, and I just thought it was wonderful." Jim Hanson is the loving husband of Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together they have two darling daughters and live in a beautiful home. One day Linda receives news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet, when she wakes up the next morning, Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what seemed like the previous day's events as a .nightmare. The next day, however, Linda awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the days of one fateful week out of order. Commenting on the fragmented nature of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in and out of it consistently, I had to kind of monitor - say the movie goes over a week, I play Thursday before the movie's even got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but the thing was it did span over a week so you could kind of contain it a little bit. It definitely posed its own challenges." McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the roles he normally plays. "This is a very normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values - j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/ Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted to something t hat's a little skewed," said I m a g e courtcsy of Sony pictures McMahon, "a little o ff, sometimes, you Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock in "Premonition". know, extremely off.

Movie Review: BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix" set in the dreamlike cinematography of "Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist flying, sword wielding, historical adventure. Miller, who wrote the novel that became the film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City." "300" is based on the story of the Spartans of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors, standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a Bottom: A panel from Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". Top: The corresponding scene a s it appears in Warner Bros.

Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the screen with a booming voice and wicked fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo (Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her sure hand, telling a rock solid tale of honor king. She is loyal to the cause of her people and valor in a time of desperation.

The Persians hide behind bizarre masks while the Spartans are in the traditional crimson and armor of their culture. This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale. The power and intensity ooze from the screen and the suspense is breathtaking. The film "300" is a comic book look at an actual historical event. The current Hollywood fad of taking a slice of history and creatively manipulating the plot for entertainment value is exemplary in this case. "300" fails to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this movie is that you are left wishing for more. "Is it really over already?"

X V I I N O. 7 Historic Tukwut courtyard dedication BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional cool breezes, and the sun shining warmly and brightly, the courtyard near Cougar Central was officially dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. The beautiful day marked not only a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that began with the University's first class in 1990. Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She said that the University decided to honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an unofficial mascot After Tukwut, the Luiseno word for mountain lion, (pronounced "took-woot") was given to Cal State San Marcos, it was only used intermittently and inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006 and 2007 also choose to honor the indigenous people of this land as evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard." The dedication ceremony included a dedication prayer from Pauma Band Chairman Chris Devers, who also sang a traditional Luiseno song with his son, Chris Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

This isn't a job where you come to work for eight hours." He added, "We call ourselves public Monday March 5, 2007, the CSUSM Writing Center begins offering assistance through online tutoring. The new program is available to all CSUSM students, and works similar to the in person appointments offered. Like all WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center is located in Kellogg 1103, and is open from Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I n response to the question, what inspired this program, the director of the writing center since 2005, Erin Goldin responded, "Many university writing centers already offer online tutoring. This campus is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to the writing center for tutoring. This way, busy students can still get help." Now easier than ever, asking for advice about any class paper is achievable in four simple steps through online tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer a few simple questions about the assignment like when is it due, what class is it for, and the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response. Writing consultants suggest putting "as much information as possible in response to the questions when submitting online for optimum feedback." Most responses will take three to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are. Goldin still recommends making an appointment to come in whenever possible because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend thirty minutes. The more interaction there is, the more information and feedback the student receives." Students can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to check for available time slots. The center also offers workshops on a variety of different topics every Tuesday during university hour in University Hall? room 440.

Wayne Nelson and two others from the La Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion. About ten Indian speakers spoke during the ceremony which around 100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker was thankful for the acknowledg- ment and recognition extended to them by the renaming of the courtyard. Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend the student body for continuing to acknowledge that" Patty Duro, Rincon Band Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be here and to have our people and our language recognized here." Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band Member and Director of the Rincon Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students and current students of CSUSM saying, "When they do think about this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and strong and proud, and that's what we should all be— proud to be Luiseno."

' I $M From WORKERS, page 1 . One group of students carpooled to a grassy hill on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe in Encinitas. The other group of students arrived at the Home Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both sites, migrant workers are known to stand on the sidewalk and wait for strangers to hire them for work. Before the students left to meet the workers, A nne Skidmore of Intervarsity said, " They'll tell you about people who will hire them for work and t hey'll paint their house all day long and then t hey'll say, they don't pay us and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore encouraged the students to be open with the workers. " They're not u sedtd being treated well by the community. These guys have amazing stories. Most of them are open to share and t alk." . When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau loaded her white Honda with plastic bags f ull of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, apple juice, orange j uice, nature valley bars and water. Brideau arrived at the Home Depot site with about 20 students to meet Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena and the workers. But once the students parked and gathered, a security guard approached them. The security guard told Brideau that she would have to park her car across the street, in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center because her car contained the food for the workers. Once Brideau parked across the street, students met her t o carry the plastic bags f ull of food and the gallons of orange juice. In the time it took for students t o walk across the street, a Sheriff arrived at the Home Depot. The Sheriff had arrested one of the workers. If any of the men are to step beyond the unmarked line that separates the sidewalk f rom the parking lot, they could be immediately arrested. Marchena suggested that the students tell the Sheriff what they were h ere t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant workers, let them know that they were students f rom CSUSM and asked if they wanted anything to eat or d rink. One student said to a worker whom he had j ust given a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol." The man replied, "Poco English." At this, each young man shrugged and smiled. The Spanish speakers of the group were able t o hold longer conversations with the men, which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves said, "I thought it was really rewarding to come catch them o ff guard and they let u s in and told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little of what they were saying. They were really f un and easy t o talk to." One of the men told Spada that when a local bank across the street had been robbed, the police immediately questioned the men. Spada said that the man she was speaking to said, "They might have thought it looked like me but I would have never done something like that." Students also gave flyers to the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where their children could be tutored. The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach that holds Spanish masses. Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said, "They were saying that i t's tough to get a j ob— sometimes you get work, sometimes you don't. They come here for food; they're very impoverished. They cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and leave their families behind. So many people blame migrants for coming here j ust for the benefits. But how can they [get] benefits like health care, if citizens can't even get i t?" Carillo added, " In reality they are people who want t o help." I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most students had enough time t o talk with the men, the border patrol showed u p for the man who had been arrested. Some of the men, however, sprinted into the street in spite of the opposing t raffic t o avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said, "One particular thing that stood out t o me is that as the men saw the other guy being arrested and they were telling me that it made them angry because the action of one guy reflects on the others." Ramirez added, "I asked them if they were treated well, and they said for the most p art it is very p eaceful except when the minute men are there. The minute men t ry t o pull them over a certain line so that they will get arrested. They also told me that there was one time where three gangsters came and stole their valuables, and the security guard did nothing." The event itself inspired ASI and Intervarsity t o recruit more students t o serve these men more o ften. Marchena said, "There's a Catholic organization t hatreaches out t o migrant workers and the homeless. We need t o see how we can fit in with t hem— how we can do this more consistently, at least once a month.

They begin with looking at the overall goals ofthe paper, and not so much on sentence structure and spelling errors. The website states, "Our goal is to help you become a better writer, and we try to focus our sessions on tools or strategies that will help you on future papers." Usually they address the larger issues in a paper, such as the thesis and whether or not the student has met the requirements of the teacher's prompt. Although, from time to time, they mention things like, are you sure this is a complete sentence?" Goldin said. "Rather than making the correction for the student, students still do the work, but receive help through feedback." Consultants are ready and waiting for a positive response to the new program. Goldin shares, "We expect the pace to pick up once people get used to the idea." Goldin and others in the writing center spent the last six months researching what other online tutoring services are like, in order to develop the best program suited for CSUSM California Lottery grants provide the grant funding that makes this program available.

President Haynes, in addition to supporting the renaming of Tukwut Courtyard, has also formed the Native Advisory Council, one of only two throughout the Cal State University system. President Haynes said, "Today, thanks to our student leadership, and continued help and assistance from our neighbor elders, we are ready to commit this naming gift to a permanent name for a special part of our student life, our newly named Tukwut Courtyard." President Haynes also spoke of plans to raise funds to build a memorial statue in the courtyard. "The memorial will demonstrate the proud impact and influence the Luiseno people have had on this From CHIEF, page 1 servants. We really are." Chief Hackenberg said, "In the 30 years that I've been in this profession, things have really changed. Officers find they must serve the communities they are in. In no place is that more important than a university campus. We truly are a community." Chief Hackenberg came to CSUSM from San Jose State University where he was the Special Operations Lieutenant. For 25 years, Chief Hackenberg worked for the Pennsylvania State Police Department. In all its history, he was the youngest person to be promoted University," Haynes said.

He urged those listening to contemplate the meaning of being a Tukwut for themselves. The naming of the courtyard marks the first permanent presence of Tukwut at CSUSM. Lee said, "Tukwut is here, and it is not going away." About the ceremony, Biggs said, "It was a wonderful day for Luiseno people and for the university— one I will hold in my heart forever."

When three young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with a camera, sought out for excitement in Africa— the only excitement they found were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into the life of a child soldier. According to Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends found themselves "stranded in Northern Uganda" and dedicated their time in there to "exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story." Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in the United States are gluing macaroni to a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as young as 8 in Uganda are systematically being kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces what should be a book or a pen, and according to the website, the children are "then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters." A few number of children are able to escape, however, the majority of the children [m/lÚblt remain in LRA for the remainder of their lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped. The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob, Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the website, "through their eyes, we relive the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother, and the innate joy— found only in a child." Because of their time in Uganda, the filmmakers decided to share this film and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus began the movement that is called Invisible Children. Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and girls receive no education in Northern Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called "The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan mentors for war-affected children." In the ICEP (Invisible Children Education Program), each child is provided with a mentor who aids the child not solely for academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success, and foster leadership success." There are currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for Schools" is a program that is much more like a competition, for schools across the United States to raise money to help build schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to help build a school with the money that was raised. According to the website, "the entire area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly 95% of the people in Northern Ugandan districts forced to evacuate their homes are now living in camps, earning no monetary income, and living in absolute poverty." Invisible Children also started the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Cal State San Marcos requires students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate students, irrespective of major, must fulfill this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will be placed on hold, and they will be unable to register. The computer competency requirement, or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test. However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes will no longer be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy change approved by the Faculty Senate on the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency Requirement subcommittee." The CCR website goes into more detail about the test, which classes satisfy the requirement, and provides study material and the exam schedule. It can be found here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency. The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright, Northern Ugandans living in camps a way to earn money. The bracelets are hand-made from reed and recycled wire, and sold in the United States; the money that is raised from the campaign goes back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to support each other and raise awareness to help the people of Northern Uganda in their struggle to survive.

The Internet section tests students on using the Internet to obtain information. The word processing proficiency section discovers if students can use basic features within Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section tests students on using basic features in Microsoft Excel. Students may take the CCR test as many times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said, "There is no penalty for taking the exam multiple times." The exam itself can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30 p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room 202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a print/copy card with approximately $2 on it and something to write with. Print/copy cards are available to purchase in Kellogg Library. There is no time limit on the test, and there is no need for students to complete all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the test. The sections are graded separately, that way if a student fails one section, he or she needs only to retake that section, instead of the entire test. No appointment is needed. Scores are posted on SMART Web within each student's profile.

With a record tying 25 trades at the deadline involving 44 players and 26 draft picks being exchanged between 27 of the 30 NHL teams. The trade deadline also makes the playoff picture become clearer. With six teams in the Eastern Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April, four of them were active at the deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres traded backup goalie Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers, putting the weight on 2nd year goalie Ryan Miller to carry the remaining load and team through the playoffs. The Sabres also acquired Danius Zubrus from the Washington Capitals in a move that gives the team depth to a long list of injured forwards. The Southeast Division leader, Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl Stewart. These additions give Tampa Bay depth in their defense and much needed toughness. The Pittsburgh Penguins added veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young team a talented veteran forward who will be able impact the team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of toughness to the team that needs to protect their young sensations in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Stall. The Atlanta Thrashers made a bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to rejuvenate a struggling offense. Tkachuk will give the Thrashers another talented player who will join a team that already has a list of great players. With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, these four teams made adjustments in hopes of giving their team the advantage over the other. The New York Islanders brought a shock to the hockey world as they received Edmonton Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth. Smyth gave the Oiler fans a tearful goodbye, which brought flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other three teams. The defending Stanley Cup Champions, Carolina Hurricanes added Anson Carter in hopes of Carter regaining the 33-goal touch that he had the previous season in Vancouver. The Toronto Maple Leafs added center Yanic Perreault to the team who will provide a gritty, strong face-off man. The last team in the race would be the Montreal Canadians who appeared to pull themselves out of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the team later down the road when he makes the pros. In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators acquired Flyers captain Peter Forsberg. Forsberg was looked at as the biggest name on the market at the deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round pick. Forsberg finishes the miss- ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who could make an impact on their team, and Forsberg should do that as long as he stays healthy. Not far behind the Predators in the standings is the Detroit Red Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers. Bertuzzi is currently hurt but should be joining the Red Wings prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi could give the Red Wings that extra edge in a playoff series with his scoring and playmaking ability. The San Jose Sharks added veteran forward Bill Guerin from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin gives the Sharks another scorer who should fit right in with last years MVP Joe Thornton. The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks, and one second and third round pick by trading both Tkachuk and Guerin. And if both these players return to St. Louis at the end of the season, St. Louis will be looking at this deadline as a great way to rebuilding a team that once made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row. The Dallas Stars were able to add long time Kings captain Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give the Stars a talented veteran blue liner who has great leadership. Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy. Nagy could be a great pick for the Stars if Nagy can regain the scoring capability he had in past seasons. The biggest shock of them all was how the Pacific Division leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to acquire a steady defense and a big named forward for the Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line. The Ducks failure to acquire a big name player allows the other Western Conference teams to strengthen themselves and better prepare themselves for when they face the Ducks in the playoffs. For the teams that knew they were going to the playoffs, they choose to buy while those who were already out decided to sell their players for their futures. There can only be one Stanley Cup Champion, which means 29 losers who will be rebuilding for next year. One thing is for sure; it is anyone's game. m ake i nformed, h ealthy c onfident c hoices Itium 277 S.

Luckily enough my destination, The Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel, was situated in the Temple Bar - one of the most celebrated (or detested) and pub congested areas of Dublin. Temple Bar is truly a sight to wander into. It is an area of narrow, cobblestone streets, packed with people virtually twenty four hours a day, albeit mostly of the tourist variety. It is not just a festival of pubs, there are eating establishments aplenty, and it is f ull of art galleries, theatres and children's entertainment. It is easy to find, lying between the Bank of Ireland and Decades ago, James Joyce Christ Church Cathedral, and wrote that "A good puzzle, would it has a very energetic, friendly be to cross Dublin without pass- atmosphere.

Starting out from Temple Bar, the heavily trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes you across the river Liffey to the bustling shopping areas streets of the north, and O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. O'Connell St. is a busy street lined with department stores, magnificent statues and, if you are feeling too lazy to walk, you can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion is that you walk, walk, and walk! Dublin is a very compact city and you can reach many attractions by foot. One place that is worth a visit, on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells" is housed here, and is truly breathtaking, as is the extensive library. Ireland is famous for its contributions to literature: indeed both the Dublin writers and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i ever, as a big Oscar 1 Wilde fan, I was keen A to see the Wilde house. The house itself is part of the American College of Dublin campus and it is an interesting, if small, exhibit.

It was a big exhibition with an even bigger merchandise section, yet the highlight was definitely having a complimentary pint in the pub at the top of the factory. The pub has a panoramic view of the city and serves only two drinks'normaP Guinness (room temperature) and cold Guinness. It would have been easy to spend a lot of time at the storehouse, but I still had a lot I wanted to see: Dublin Castle, Dublinia the Viking exhibition and the infamous Kilmainham Gaol. These are all excellent places to visit in that you can learn a great deal about Irish culture, both ancient and more contemporary. Dublin is a great place to visit and, due to it being compact, even a short visit will not disappoint. Do. not wait to visit this part of Ireland, it is changing a lot.

Here is the situation first. Vladimir Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers is making 5.2 million dollars this season. He loves to snowboard, which can be a dangerous sport. So the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to snowboard while under contract with the team. Turns out, the Lakers were right about Radmanovic because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during the all-star break. He initially lied about it, because he knew he would face punishment if the team found out. Shortly after living the lie he made like George Washington and told the Lakers what happened. They quickly answered back with a 500,000 dollar fine because he violated his contract and will miss two months. My question, is it right for the Lakers to say he can't do a certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other industry do you see it written into a contract that you aren't allowed to do certain types of extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily separated his shoulder taking the trash to the bottom of the driveway. I know the team is just trying to cover its butt from having to pay an injured player who (August 22 - September c a œ isn't contributing to a team, but what's 500,000 thousand to a multi-million dollar franchise. It may seem a lot to you and me, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss cleans his hands with 100 dollar bills. It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as regular human beings because they make millions of dollars. I for one know that when I'm a millionaire one day I'm still probably going to be the same goofball that I am now and will partake in the same activities that I do now. What if someone told you that you couldn't do one of your favorite activities anymore? I can just imagine someone telling me one day that I shouldn't play basketball anymore because I may sprain a wrist and wouldn't be able to type. The way that I look at it is that you make your own decisions and you should live with them. You may think Radmanovic is stupid for snowboarding when he was specifically told not to, but I think he's bad and not bad as in bad, but bad as in good. He is living his life, doing the things that he wants to do. Here's another question for you? Would you have lied like Radmanovic originally did or would you have come clean right away like he eventually did? I don't know what I would do. It's-hard to say unless you're in the actual situation, but I have a feeling I probably would have done what he did. I know most people think the exact opposite of what I've said so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Beer of the Week Karl Strauss Amber Lager BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Evil Blue Thing," my friend said as I resumed my seat next to her at the bar. "Yeah, but what's it called," I responded, pointing to the brilliant blue libation in her hand. She j ust giggled, and I realized that The Evil Blue Thing was already working its malevolent magic. The beverage seemed to glow with impish potential. Sinfully sweet, but not saccharinely so, the Evil Blue Thing goes down smooth, feels warm and creamy on the tongue, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in one's mouth. Like many mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts of alcohol, so the Evil Blue Thing can easily live up to its name if the drinker is innocent and allows him or herself to get tricked by the Thing's wicked charms. That said, the Evil Blue Thing can be a pleasurable companion if one is savvy and enjoys sweet (shocking blue) cocktails. To make your very own Evil Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2 ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2 ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir, serve, and enjoy! BY KENNY KING Pride Staff Writer Not far from our campus is one of San Diego's gems, a Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant. Karl Strauss Brewing Company has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in Downtown San Diego, opened to the public on February 2,1989. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment, which more than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight types of beer year-round. The Amber Lager was their featured beer while my friends and I were at the brewery. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was turning 23, and my # friends and I were contemplating where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out ideas. Then, I looked down at the beer in my hand and read "Karl Strauss." I knew at that moment where we would be feasting that evening. Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination for a f un night out. Not only were we served delicious food, but we also had a variety of delicious beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening my memory was not functioning at f ull capacity, but there was one beer that stuck in my memory; it was the Amber Lager. This beer is copper in color with a slight sweetness that Cascade hops provide. It is a lager, so it is fermented at cold temperatures, which provides for a very smooth finish. The amber lager complements almost any food. We enjoyed an array of their appetizers, which were all delicious with the Amber Lager. The Amber Lager is Master Brewer Karl Strauss's favorite beer and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can find it almost everywhere locally in San Diego.

"I was really interested in this movie initially because "of Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested in the movie because I read the script, and then I was interested in it because I had seen the director's first film, and I just thought it was wonderful." Jim Hanson is the loving husband of Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together they have two darling daughters and live in a beautiful home. One day Linda receives news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet, when she wakes up the next morning, Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what seemed like the previous day's events as a .nightmare. The next day, however, Linda awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the days of one fateful week out of order. Commenting on the fragmented nature of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in and out of it consistently, I had to kind of monitor - say the movie goes over a week, I play Thursday before the movie's even got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but the thing was it did span over a week so you could kind of contain it a little bit. It definitely posed its own challenges." McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the roles he normally plays. "This is a very normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values - j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/ Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted to something t hat's a little skewed," said I m a g e courtcsy of Sony pictures McMahon, "a little o ff, sometimes, you Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock in "Premonition". know, extremely off.

Movie Review: BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix" set in the dreamlike cinematography of "Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist flying, sword wielding, historical adventure. Miller, who wrote the novel that became the film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City." "300" is based on the story of the Spartans of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors, standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a Bottom: A panel from Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". Top: The corresponding scene a s it appears in Warner Bros. Pictures', Legendary Pictures' and Virtual Studios' action drama "300," distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The acting in this movie is well done. Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the screen with a booming voice and wicked fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo (Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her sure hand, telling a rock solid tale of honor king. She is loyal to the cause of her people and valor in a time of desperation.

The Persians hide behind bizarre masks while the Spartans are in the traditional crimson and armor of their culture. This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale. The power and intensity ooze from the screen and the suspense is breathtaking. The film "300" is a comic book look at an actual historical event. The current Hollywood fad of taking a slice of history and creatively manipulating the plot for entertainment value is exemplary in this case. "300" fails to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this movie is that you are left wishing for more. "Is it really over already?"

Dr. Janet Powell, President of the local chapter of the CFA, said, "We feel very confident this vote will pass statewide." All faculty members who belong to the CFA can vote two separate ways. On March 5, the faculty will be able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will also accept voting through email but can not guarantee anonymity. Once the voting is finished, CSUSM should know by Monday, March 19 if and when the CFA will go on strike. If the CFA chooses to strike, they will do so simultaneously with at least three Cal State Universities. The order and days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown. Faculty members could go on strike "on any given Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after the CFA takes part in strikes across the California, and the Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to continue the strike. Dr. Powell added, "The pressure is on the Chancellor and Board of Trustees without hurting the students. We don't want to leave students out there. If we could do something else, we would." During last Friday's ASI meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU collective bargaining. Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy Mills, said, "Basically, we are taking the stance that students have no place in the collective bargaining process. There's no way for us to truly know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they do have closed session meetings and the only information we get is when See CFA, page 2 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer Jared Leto performs in front of a large audience their hit song, "The Kill" at 2007 Rockstar Taste Of C haOS II Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride The Pride goes back stage at the 2007 Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour SEE full coverage in ME, page 12 Historical Tukwut courtyard dedication to be held this week On Thursday, March 1, during university hour, Cal State San Marcos will be dedicating the Courtyard outside of Cougar Central on the third floor of Craven Hall as the Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut (pronounced "TOOK-woot") is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty member Brendon Cesmat, this word was given to Cal State S an Marcos by a Luiseno elder and adopted by the first graduating class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's S ocial a nd B ehavioral R esearch I nstitute t o p ermanently c lose in J une BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put his efforts toward creating the Social and Behavioral Research Institute of CSUSM. Since then, SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being of the public on both national and local levels. On June 30, due to the strategic plan of the university and to the lack of finances, CSUSM's institute will close. Director of Research, Allen Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994 to build the SBRI into what it has become today. Risley said, "The marketplace is very competitive to get research projects and the costs of research projects." Risley added, "I will miss work. These projects make a difference in the community." The institute has completed thousands of studies on social behavior. Some of those studies include health care for diabetics, victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the public opinion in Carlsbad. See SBRIi page 3 ident Alex Gonzalez. Cesmat said, "The spirit of Tukwut has haunted the campus ever since the former administration denied Tukwut its opportunity at the ballot box." Associated Student President Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was a sensitive subject because we (students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if the Luiseno people were okay with us utilizing the word a fter Cougar replaced it as our official mascot." Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs said that steps have been taken in the right direction to reclaim this g ift given nearly 17 years ago, and t hat ASI and the s tudents on campus have been giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves. Lee said, "ASI, as the official student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a g ift and acknowledge its significant meaning and history. We embrace Tukwut and hope that all students, faculty, adminisr tration, s taff and the community take ownership of it and develop the meaning of Tukwut for themselves as a person at CSUSM."

It sends a very powerful message to local Native youth that the u niversity values their culture and their language and recognizes them as the indigenous people on whose land the university sits." The Courtyard Dedication Ceremony will include a blessing by a Luisefio elder, a message f rom ASI president Roy Lee, and live Luisefio music sung in the native language. Biggs says, "Some say these songs have been around for 10,000 years." The day's eyents will o ffer a unique oppor- tunity for students to learn more about the Luisefio culture and to pay respect to those who came before them. Biggs said that she hopes to get an informational plaque placed in T\ikwut Courtyard explaining the meaning of the word so it is not again easily forgotten. Another dream is to get a mountain lion statue, but that will depend on f unding and private donations, and is not something that will happen in the immediate f uture. Lee says, "Tukwut Courtyard is a step to acknowledge and honor the Luiseno, but also honor this educational institution, home of the Tukwutum, home of the cougars, Cal State University San Marcos. It is the first permanent recognition of Tukwut on this campus."

Other times, SBRTs clients will create and publish a report based off of the information they'll receive from the SBRI. Risley said, "Helping to improve the quality of life for someone is the work we do." Risley will also miss what he described as, "The puzzles of doing research." Learning how and when to probe for answers from survey participants is considered the main challenge for new employees. But the puzzle of research remains in how to sort through and combine the information from the study to create a thorough and coherent report for SBRI's clients. Research Assistant William Andersen and Director of Operations Lori Brown Large agree, along with Lab Supervisor Jennifer Holmes agree that the closing of the SBRI will immediately create a void. "I think it's sad. Our work is to improve life for individuals and [SBRI's closing is] going to create a gap between the university and community," said Holmes. Currently, 65 employees work at the SBRI. 28 of the employees are CSUSM students. 10 of the employees make up a combination of Palomar students and high school students. In the past, the SBRI has employed up to 20 high school students at one time, making SBRI the only work place for high school students to work on the CSUSM campus. The rest of the employees at SBRI said they had the opportunity to watch the high school students grow. Large said, "One year, we got to see nine out of ten high school students go off to four year universities."

Her idea of a hard work ethic for ultimate success on multiple levels has brought new light to my own ambitions, forcing me to look at distant dreams and turning them into short term realities. If I could say only one thing about Dr. Karen Haynes it would be her love of education reflected on the students of this campus that makes San Marcos State such a powerhouse for academi- cally elite knowledge." CSUSM alum, Patrick B. Long, said, ' In an overall score of the president's review I would give her an overall positive review. In the matter of decision making and effective planning, President Haynes has done a fairly good job. Also, her involvement in community relations has been adequate to achieve a passing review. In my mind, however, she has to work on her involvement with students, faculty, and staff on campus." To see the Chancellor's memo in full, please see www.fliecsusmpride.com.

"[In] talking to people, you see them gaining perspective on who the rest of the world is." Large believes employees are slightly more affected from the closure of SBRI than the students. "[The students] will have to find something else. Some of our researchers will stay here but the rest of us will have to find new jobs and move on." When speaking of the employees, Large said, "They love what they do and will have to find something else." Large said that she will miss "the mentoring aspect of it.

I tó < mmâ;ym m — —í •. -, 1 û ì ) ¡MM �Website of the Week BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The new search engine, ChaCha, created by Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, aims to provide the public with a uniquely enhanced search tool, unlike any other search engine before. In using what the website is calling "the World's most powerful technology tool- the human brain," ChaCha's intent is to provide an improved search experience by integrating what their best computer-generated search results are with the results that are handpicked by human guides. The searchengine continuously "learns" through the aid of human intelligence and is therefore constantly improving. If the basic search is not satisfying particular requirements, the website connects the user with a "live human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messagingstyle search session"— all entirely free. The website is named so, primarily because the word "cha" means "search" in Chinese and secondly because the Cha-Cha is a popular Cuban-based dance with a particularly fast pace. ChaCha is a Beta-based website, meaning that it is at a stage where the software is technically complete with advanced features and should be strong enough to complete most ordinary uses. Beta which is short for "Beta-test," also stands for "p," the second letter ofthe Greek alphabet coming after Alpha. Alpha tests are usually not feature complete and are commonly more unstable than Beta tests. The website is beneficial to students in two aspects. First, it allows for a personalized search, where students are able to communicate one-on-one with an experienced guide. Such accessibility paves an easier path to acquiring the useful information needed without having to sort through irrelevant M PVI P NI Road to graduation search results. The personalized searching also helps with detailed research in which students must find scholarly sources concerning specifically itemized subjects which might otherwise be difficult to find. Secondly, students that are experienced enough to become a "ChaCha Guide," must join the ChaCha Underground (an already existing community for current ChaCha guides) and be invited by a ChaCha guide who is at the Master Level. According to the website, ChaCha guides earn between "$5-10 per search hour based on performance. With a computer and a broadband Internet connection, Guides can work whenever and wherever they choose." This type of job is especially convenient for students because of the flexible work hours and being able to work from home. Students who already have an existing website and wish to draw in more traffic can use ChaCha's Adagent service that costs $25 to start up. The website states that ChaCha Adagent is "a true cost per click advertising medium that allows you to optimize your reach by optimizing search. This is a performance-based advertising program that allows you to bid on your category so your ad is matched with your site to achieve the highest click-through rates," as explained in ChaCha's informational section. Students can choose which categories they want and the ChaCha Adagent makes sure that it is seen by the people whom students wish to target. ChaCha also has a blog to promote the difference of their search engine. The blog allows users to obtain information about ChaCha that is not widely known, updated news on the website, success stories and comments by the creators of ChaCha. If students wish to learn more about the website or talk to a guide, go to www.chacha.com. HMHHHP GradFest will be held at the Clark Field House Grand Salon.

Above: Najib, my Tuareg companion and guide in the Sahara, What had I got myself into this time? It was becoming clear that someone in the jam-packed car was not too sure of the exact location of the base camp outside of M'Hamid. We had been tossed about in the car amidst the blackest Saharan night for the best part of 20 minutes now and the Arabic French verbal assaults were becoming ever-more intense. Sla- at approximately 11 p.m., I found myself deposited safely at the Berber style base camp. As far as adventure goes, the Sahara never fails to deliver. I had chosen to visit this mysterious part of the world not only to experience its beauty, but also to discover its vastly different cultures, and to do this, I decided to take some excursions with a locally run tour company. This particular trip started in Ooarzazarte - a small town $i£u$ted gained a new depth of frustration as our Tuareg guide, Najib, tried to communicate his instructions to Abdul the driver.

Although it may seem cliché, camel riding is a good place to start the experience, along with camping in Berber style tents. There is nothing like traversing the red sands on a camel t o really feel immersed in a different mindset, and it is very easy to organize. There are numerous companies, both local and international, that have superb deals for a complete Saharan adventure, and most of them will offer the same trip that I experienced. All you need to take with you is an open mind - what you will bring back is a new understanding of another culture, yourself and immense satisfaction. �Spring is here and the Records fall at CSUSM Padres prepare for success women's golf tourney BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Get your peanuts, crackerjacks here! It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp February 15 to open spring training 2007. Before the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted, baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona and Florida to get loose for a grueling 162 game schedule. Spring training is a time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out even. And there is always a chance to catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003 Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit Tigers. There are questions and a bit of drama going into the 2007 season The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers, invested an extra $30 million in their roster in an attempt to break a 98 year championship drought. Last year they lost 96 games and finished in last place in the weakest division in baseball, the NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual World Series winners, won a paltry 83 games. That's five games less than any other first place club. This off season the Cubs front office concentrated on some key pieces that could allow them to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was signed to play centerfield for a measly $136 million over eight years. It will be a n experiment for the recently departed 2B. Last year there were mixed results defensively as Soriano played leftfield in Washington. The Cubs also added fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for his attitude, track record, and pension for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message to National League umpires: bring your sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break the "Curse of the Billy G oat"? The New York Yankees provide the drama. As usual, the soap opera of the Yankees organization started early this year. The big money Yanks, who haven't won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much other than get younger. Then starting pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The best post season closer in baseball his- tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with his contract situation. Long time Yankee hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor league contract offer from t he,team. Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't going t o dinner and having sleepovers any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but it gives the Yankees continuity in one area, turmoil. Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind and barring injury it looks like a lock on paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds as a villain; taking the home r un record f rom one of the most respected players in the history of the game. It is so ugly that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has contemplated skipping the game when Bonds breaks of one of the most hallowed records in all of sports. The Padres have a new manager in SDSU product, Bud Black. The 12 year r un for the Padres Manager Bruce Bochy is over, ending his association with the organization since 1983. San Diego brought Marcus Giles in to play with big brother Brian on their hometown team. The Giles are from El Cajon. The Padres also added a young slugging third baseman by trading promising rookie Josh Barfield. Kyle Kouzmanoff has the sweet right handed power stroke that General Manager Kevin Towers has % been looking for at 3B. Greg Maddux brings his 333 wins and immeasurable wisdom to an already solid staff. Jake Peavy will t ry to bounce back from a sub-par year that saw his ERA j ump by more than a f ull r un and 6'10" pitcher Chris Young will try to build off his solid first year in San Diego. The Yale grad, led all of baseball in opponents batting average against last year. David Wells is back in a Padre uniform, back in his hometown. Wells hails f rom Point Loma, has 230 career victories, and is good for at least one bar fight per season. When the Padres let Dave Roberts and his 49 stolen bases migrate north to SF they opened a glaring hole in the leadoff spot. Will the Padres win the NL West for the third straight year? We shall see. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With poor conditions at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, the women's golf team had a battle on their hands. Senior Jennell French set a new school record by recording her third victory in individual scoring. French and the rest of the women's golf team had their struggles through the course. With poor conditions on the golf course, scores were higher than usual. French finished with a +6 and managed to stay ahead of the field of 67. As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a +48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin, junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana Bormann helped lead the team to 6th place by finishing in the top-40. The men's golf team took a one-stroke lead in the first round and held off Point Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior Matt Determan helped lead the fight by tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place in individual scoring. Determan shot five under par in the final two rounds to finish with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs. Following Determan was Junior Scott Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season, Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place debut finishing with a +12. Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact shooting a 74 in the final round to finish tied for 15h place with fellow teammate, Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the tournament with back-to-back 75s. The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team looks to recoup from the wet conditions and take aim towards nationals. Both teams now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele Canyon Country Club. �Last week's key: College Courtesy of The Pride ACROSS 3 Impossible is nothing. 4 Great - comes from happy cows.

That's why I can sympathize with college football players who have to take the Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine. The test isn't terribly hard if you're an average college student. There lies the problem, however, since football players tend to spend more time in the weight room than in the library. The Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions in basic math and problem solving that need to be answered in 12 minutes. A score of 20 is considered to be an average score and a score of 10 indicates literacy. Frankly, I don't see how the Wonderlic test is appropriate for measuring how smart of an investment a player will be for an NFL team. Just look at Vince Young, who reportedly scored a six, and made the pro bowl in his rookie season. That is why I have devised my own test, which I call the Sandovalic. An etfkmple of a question on the Wonderlic test is: "Paper sells for 21 cents per pad. What will four pads cost?" I can understand how it might be difficult for an offensive tackle to figure out the answer is 84 cents. That is why the Sandovalic test tailors questions towards situations that may occur for an NFL player. In the Sandovalic test, however, a player doesn't know that a correct answer is a bad thing. The Sandovalic version of that last question is: "One gram of weed sells for 20 dollars/What is 5 grams worth?" Answer: An awesome high. Wonderlic question: "A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 second. At the same speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?" The answer: 300 feet. Sandovalic question: "Your limo takes you from San Diego to Las Vegas in five hours. Your private jet does it in 1/5 the time. How long does it take your j et?" The answer: Who cares? Life is pretty good either way. Wonderlic question: "A boy is 17 years old and his sister is twice as old. When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister?" The answer: 40. Sandovalic question: "If you're 23 years old when you get your third strike, how old will you be when your sentence is over?" Answer: Doesn't matter, I won't get caught. Wonderlic question: "What is the ninth month of the year?" I don't think I should have to tell anyone this answer but just incase, it's September. Sandovalic question: "If you make $8 million dollars per year, how much will you be paid per month?" Answer: Enough for a new car each month. Wonderlic question: "Tom greeted Beth. Beth greeted Dawn. Tom did not greet Dawn. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" Answer: Not certain. Sandovalic question: "The linebacker tried to beat up the cop, The cop shot the linebacker. The linebacker was at fault. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" The answer: Only Steve Foley and Aaron Mansker.. .1 mean, only the linebacker and cop will know and the j ury will decide.

Leibovitz's decision to combine the varying dynamics of her life into pne book wa$ based on her notion that her professional life and personal life are not two separate lives, but one life, innately intertwined with all the characters and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's photographic life as a whole. The first photograph, you'll encounter is that of Wadi Rum, Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore, pregnant with Scout Larue Willis. This image, revolutionary in 1991, boldly revealed what many wanted to cover up. Leibovitz's photographs are as much about the human form as they are about human loss, love, pain and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs themselves. Leibovitz captures the assertive expression of General Schwarzkopf as she similarly did Currently on display at the San in the 1991 photograph of General Diego Museum of Art is the exhiColin Powell, then Chairman of bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's tographer's Life, 1990-2005." The eyes reveal that his composure did photographic work Leibovitz did not come without effort. for magazines, her relationship Leibovitz captures the nervous with Susan Sontag, and her parenergy of playwright Tony Kushents' lives in Long Island are all ner and the confidence of Robert a part of it. Leibovitz's book, "A De Niro. At once we can connect Photographer's Life: 1990 - 2005," with Mick Jagger's heavy gaze or coincides with the exhibition. Joan Didion's intrusive glare. Excerpts from the book are placed In Leibovitz's photograph of next to several of the images in Michael Moore at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands with three of his staff members, Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment stacked on the floor. Johnson and Loyola are armed with cameras. Monts supports a lighting fixture with his arms. Moore stands with both hands in his jacket pockets, with that spark in his eye, insisting he has something to say and that he wants us to hear i t In Leibovitz's photograph of Oseola McCarty, a philanthropist and washerwoman, McCarty's head is tilted slightly, smiling, as if she were inviting you to her. It's not that you, as a viewer, have a relationship with the people in these photographs, but you do experience t hefnr" The family photographs, though smaller in scale compared to the others, portray Leibovitz's own family In a beach scene, LeiboTop: "Susan at the house on Hedges Lane, Wainscott, Long Island, vitz's mom dances before the waves 1988." Bottom: "My parents with my sisters Paula and Barbara and with her grandson;further down Paula's son Ross, Peter's Pond Beach, Wainscott, Long Island, 1992." Beer of the Week Photos courtesy of Annie Leibovitz "Jamie Foxx, Culver Studios, Culver City, California, 2004." the wall, Leibovitz's brother feeds his baby daughter a bottle beside the pool as his father looks on. In another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in her parents' kitchen as her mother, wearing a bathing suit, as she is in most photos, prepares breakfast as Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper. I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve more space; at least for us to move around in and become lost in our own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table, beside the pool, or huddled around a new baby. Chi a wall adjacent to the young actress Scarlet Johansson and the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005 subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work Fat Tire BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under a creative employee-owner business model in 1991. The company functions in an open-book manner and all employees have .complete access to accounting information. New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual focus on reducing, reusing and recycling the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities. For each barrel of brew sold, they donate one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated over two million dollars t o non-profit char- . ities. The success of New Belgium has led to a great line of awesome brews including Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire with the recipes he had created while on a bicycle trip in Belgium. The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name. The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per- cent. The bottles are shaped like a common glass beer bottle; however, the company has \ designed a glass necklace style neck for the bottle, distinguishing it from those that are I mass produced. I The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends * a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The taste buds search for more answers as they hold an election and vote for Fat Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale. A fter the complete disappearance of the contents inside the bottle, the mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale. The company's website suggests the ale be consumed with salmon, dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies, omelets at midnight, sweet potato French fries, and other grilled and garlic items. Not caring for fish or having time to grill, I consumed the* ale with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza. The combo was perfect. So, next time you hop on your bike, throw on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

What' is perhaps most interesting about the exhibit is that Leibovitz is successful in observing and pulling something from beneath the surface of so many people - yet in the most intimate photographs of Susan Sontag, whether she is suffering in a hospital bed, or sitting in a couch staring intently into the camera, we are still left without a solid grasp of who she was underneath her serious, dissatisfied stare. The success in this exhibit lies within the presence of Leibovtz's subjects whom she has made immediate to us. When her subject does not fully lend themselves to her, at least she provides us wiih a hint as to what they are thinking and feeling. What we do not know about the subjects in the photographs, we do not need to know, because slightly, yet sufficiently, we understand. Drink of the Week L<§tx)ÖD Drop BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Ah, the lemon - oh, infinitely u seful f ruit. Paired with poppy seeds, cranberries, or simply sugar, the precocious lemon lends its zing to everything f rom soups to pies, savory entrees to sweet treats. Lemon drop cookies are a particular favorite of mine, a doughy version of the candy of the same name. Hard, round, o ften lemon-shaped, and covered with confectioner's sugar, lemon drop candies are a classic candy favorite. The flavor is t art and bright; making one's mouth water and lips pucker. This distinctive sensation lends itself beautifully to the Lemon Drop cocktail. Comprised of 1 1/2 ounce vodka (I use Absolut Citron), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 lemon, the Lemon Drop is a delightfully refreshing little gem. Slice the 1/4 lemon into two wedges and toss them in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Pour in the vodka, add the sugar, shake and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with sugar, and pucker up! �7i nnrart ÜU f / U ü f 1 f Pûl//ûU/ f Aw r / v r r i S ^^ " J BL A J L jp r * Members of 30 Seconds to Mars sign autographs at booth signing.

Large sandwich boards were propped up against a light post, and another was supported by Survivor missionary Joey Cox, to present their cause. Signs displayed presented large, graphic images of a bor^ tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion provided by the Survivors organization. As students, staff and the members of Survivors exchanged expressive words, debates, and conversations of agreement, a demonstration began in front of the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand in front of the signs, blocking the images from other students passing by.

According to their accounts, they were forced to make statements after extensive abuse, and also forced to wave their rights to an attorney. Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux, 64, two former Black Panthers, were scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM event, but were arrested on January 23, 2007 for this same case from over thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers, Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM for charges of murder and conspiracy, along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the ankles. Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology department opened Wednesday's event with a brief synopsis of the situation, and expressed how she considered canceling the event under the circumstances. She. went on to say, "I feel that the people who experience such oppression, directly, should be able to speak about it." She explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement. Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted to tell everybody who came to this event that he was very sorry he could not be here today. He said, please tell everyone I wanted to be there but can not." After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr. Elise opened the room to discussion. Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why would they pursue them so adamantly even though they were innocent?" In response to the question Dr. Elise stated, "If you read about Cointelpro and its relationship to the Black Panther Party, you will see that they were out to destroy the Black Panther Party under any ruse." Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men who were arrested in 1971 were listed in Cointelpro as having to be neutralized. Neutralized was the exact language they used." Dr. Elise describes the persistent harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared about the film, "I was particularly struck by the film's point that the continuing pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther Party members is furthered by the Patriot Act that is invoked to justify their recent incarcerations based on the inclusion of statements extracted decades ago during torture by the police " According to BlackPanther.org, in October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human rights, as the video mentioned. The Party set up several community programs such as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the Black Panther Party became the target of the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence Program that focused on "neutralizing" civil rights activists. August 29 1971, Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the Ingelside Police Station. According to, Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen men were arrested for supposedly having a role in Young's murder. The video, ''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement," portrays the accounts of these men, in their own words, of how they were tortured during interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

According to the pink "Sex and Cream" flyer advertising the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at the Clarke Field House translated into: useful services that our SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides, along with a basket full of lube and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and having a stranger administrate lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were readily available. SHCS's Health Educator, Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the differences between bacterial and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections). Nguyen also Photos by Pamela C astillo / The Pride Left: Passion Party representative Jackie Weber-Cruz speaking to the audience.

The seminar also included edible massage creams, lubes and powders, along with various vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike masturbation sleeve" by the name of Gigi which Cruz said, as she addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you don't want to." Though certain people admitted that they left the seminar smelling like catsup and mulch because of the pheromones that Cruz said, "have different smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on how to spend Valentine's Day. For additional information on HIV and STI testing, students can visit the SHCS website at http:// www.csusm.edu/shcs/NEWSHCS/services Jitml.

Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are often receptive to treatment with antibiotics whereas viral STI'S such as herpes are the fun ones that stay with you. Nguyen also brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,' "Every first Wednesday of the month, the health center provides free HIV testing, and you can get results within 20 minutes." The testing is also anonymous and operates on a walk-in basis. Health Education was brought to an end with STI jeopardy and a free hand out offlavoredlube and condoms. The sex toys, lubes and creams were administrated and displayed by Jackie Weber Cruz, who offered to give everyone "their ; Sheip Rats possess a lot df ' Year H$tfie ilare people are denceand entertainanopfimistio ambitions and skilled Hares are outlook onffffi;Rats wosk 4Mb excellent entertainers and li (%m$* extremely careful w Ä how and resistant to diange* Bacalisi edgeabk, tote ttb io ttóiik arts.

That's why the administration wants to break our union. They want us to shut up about the 76% Jump in student fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike them another 10% per year from now till 2011). They want us to keep quiet while they increase class sizes and slash outreach budgets. But public universities should be affordable and accessible for all. We won't stand by while they wreck the CSU! W hy won't we sign the administration's contract? We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20% Jess than similar schools around the country. A great education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are driving good people out. iiiiriiitlJillili Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message to the administration without keeping students from graduating on time. if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our school. We hope we can count on your support.

Today, more than 11 million American women are currently taking an oral contraceptive, and research shows that 80 percent of all U.S. women born since 1945 have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable version of Ovcon 35, was released in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott of Rockaway, NJ. The new chewable version is spearmint flavored to not only reduce the risk of pregnancy, but ensure fresh breath as well. When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of less than one percent per year. However, studies show that 47 percent of women miss one or more pills per month and missing pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women who have a problem swallowing pills, no matter how small, now have a choice. Warner Chillcot is also marketing Femcon Fe as appealing to the mint and gum chewing population of females. Someone who may forget to take their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more likely tp chew on one. The packet comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round white tablets followed by seven green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be swallowed or chewed. If chewed then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce glass of water to wash it down. CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets discussed the matter, "I think it is improbable that a chewable pill will make you less likely to forget." She did not see the advantage to the spearmint flavor as an attraction saying, "It's still the pill, you know?" Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger generation of women that are looking for a desirable form of oral contraceptive. Young women who may lead a sporadic lifestyle with no regular routine can take Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva to remark, "Are they trying to encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good point, but contraceptives are not strictly for sexually active women. They can regulate the menstrual cycle and decrease bleeding. Oral contraceptives may provide benefits other than prevention of unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian cancer, benign breast disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, and iron-deficiency anemia. The 75 milligrams of iron contained in the green "dummy" pills, taken during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight iron-deficiency anemia. The risks are similar to that of other oral contraceptives. Blood clots, heart attack, and stroke are all possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44. Femcon Fe is not currently available at the Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS). SHCS was not aware of the release of the Warner Chilcott product and the Director of the clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said, "I don't know if we will carry it or not." On the issue of marketing to teenage girls Dr. Nicholson mentioned, "It is important that parents influence their children; not the media." SHCS does offer a wide variety of birth control such as condoms, birth control pills, and Depo-Provera which is taken by injection. For any questions regarding birth control or any other health issue contact SHCS at (760) 750-4915. Business hours are 8 AM - 4:45 PM, Monday through Friday and its location is conveniently located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Rd. Photo courtesy of Warner Chicott/AP HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer For many women, cervical cancer is important and valid concern. Until recently though, there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to protect themselves from the uncertainty of cervical cancer; and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried and transferred through sexual contact by both men and women. Photo courtesy of Merck & Co. HPV is most commonly passed had this virus. There are many on through sexual contact, (either different types of HPV. For most vaginal or anal sex), but can also people, the virus goes away on its be contracted through skin-to- own.

For example, Texas Merck & Co., called Gardasil, Gov.

"Every year in the United States about 10,000 women get cervical cancer and 3,700 die from it. The most common cause of abnormal PAP smear results is due to HPV infection," said Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student Health and Counseling Services, in her column linked from the SHCS website. Gardasil is currently available at SHCS for female students, as the vaccine has not yet been approved for men. Yet although the vaccine is available to students at SHCS, it is still an expensive vaccine. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Medical Director for SHCS said: "[the vaccine] does cost money, the charge at the health center is $120 per shot and it is a three shot series given over six months. This is costly and can be a problem. If students have health insurance, we encourage them to verify with their insurance company whether or not the vaccine is covered. If it is covered, we recommend that students use their insurance to obtain the vaccine. For students without health insurance, or who have insurance that doesn't cover the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre- scription-assistance program that would allow students to get the vaccine for free. Students must meet the criteria established by Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about this process, please contact our Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to assist you." If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or make an appointment at SHCS. "We have lots of printed material about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are also given this information during visits with our Health Educator or with the Medical providers." SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries and wineries utilize fermented sugar to produce beer and wine. The current drinking age for such beverages in the U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ amongst the states. Georgia restricts the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of the week. Consumption of alcoholic beverages has lead to many traditions, especially on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society. "I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown a Liberal Studies major, who recently turned 21 in early February. "I went into the clubs the second the clock stroked midnight," said Junior Michael McBride. When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very much alive," as McBride said, "I think it is strong and alive." They also stated that there were no mishaps during their night of drinking at their fresh age of 21. "Realizing that I was 21 and legally able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded to made me feel like an adult," said McBride. However, the U.S. Senate is taking aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate has passed House Bill 36, specifically for Texas, which has become known as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not be able to consume alcoholic beverages until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar bills are currently either in effect or still being proposed in other states. The bill originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob Eissler pioneered the bill after one of his constituencies' son died the day of "his 21st birthday due to a night of binge drinking. Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and those whom served the alcohol could serve possible jail time. Furthermore, the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended. The rationale for the bill lies in the current situation created by legal hours of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many 21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have two hours to consume alcohol. The bill hopes to discourage mass consumption of alcohol between the wee hours in the morning and in return prevent future deaths. Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost everyone I know celebrated their 21st birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just a few more hours later isn't going to benefit anyone." CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering freshmen, and the Student Health and Counseling Services Center offers a variety of alcohol education programs, services, and peer advising. SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is currently striving to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the competition for the past two years. The good news is that CSUSM is currently first place in the competition. The not so good news is that we still have seven more weeks to go, and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at claiming the number one spot. Recycling is relatively easy to do at CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are in charge of deciding where to put trash and recycling bins throughout the campus. However, according to Green Team member Ed Johnson, the members of the Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work. Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana, Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team representative Carl Hansen. These guys are serious about recycling, and a large part of why we are currently winning RecycleMa- nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable items in the trash, and although they do what they can to make sure that everything that is recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the time to correct every trash can infraction. "Give them support and a pat on the back," said Johnson. A good way to show support for the Blue Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere, and almost everything can be recycled. Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags, pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass, high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled on campus. Although our campus has bins labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans," these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help with RecycleMania by doing their spring cleaning before the contest ends on April 7. The Facilities Services on campus have a goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better world starting with Cal State San Marcos.

Soon after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre happenings began. LaDanian Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in this age of the attention hoarding star, took offense to the Patriots' mimicry of Shawne Merriman's sack dance on the Bolts logo at mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more class, but L.T.'s comments were uncharacteristic of the reigning league MVP. The Chargers had a choice to make following a record setting regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front of the record home crowd of 68,810. Could the owners of the franchise, the Spanos family, actually fire a coach who had led this team to win 14 games? The Bolts two regular season losses were by three points each, as was the playoff loss. Coaches matter most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when the game is on the line that defines a head coach. There is also that little thing about the post season. This game is about Superbowl titles, of which the Chargers have none. Marty Schottenheimer is a winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head coach, sixth all-time. Every stop has been a successful one. Teams are better with Marty as head coach than they were before he arrived, that isn't in doubt. His track record speaks for itself. The problem is the post season. This year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually win one. Even with the best team in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose when the stakes are highest. His first playoff loss came during the second Reagan Administration. His last win, with Joe Montana as his quarterback, was when Bill Clinton was serving his first term in the White House. He's lost six straight since 1993. He's been one-and-done nine times. They've been tough and close; eight have been by five points or less, two have gone to overtime. The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their relationship was tenuous and almost non-existent, even to the point the two men had an intermediary when communicating. After the gut-wrenching home playoff loss to the Patriots many fans were calling for the coach to be fired. Schottenheimer had one year left on his contract and the offer to extend an extra year was at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith did not want Schottenheimer to stay, that was obvious, but for continuity's sake offered him one year at less money than he was currently making. Marty scoffed at the offer and was in turn put in the "lame-duck" category, when a coach is in his final year. With questions about their future, the coaches under Schottenheimer began a mass migration towards job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson, left to become the head coach in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of a defense that led the league in quarterback sacks, took the head coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the new defensive coordinator in S.F. and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl of the coaching carousel led to even more dissension between lame-duck Schottenheimer and GM Smith. Marty wanted his brother to interview for one of the coaching vacancies, while Smith couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around. So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core of this team is laden with great young talent that's under contract till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there is a window of opportunity for a team, and this town is eagerly awaiting the chance to celebrate a superbowl win. Let's hope GM A. J. Smith and the Spanos family, máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance deep into the playoffs following the 2007 season. imwtMm SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 - $18.00 per hour , ^ Customer •••PHL 1* „ _ IVI^rai program is underway.

Using the headlines "Something must be done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries," seems to be making a big deal out of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should be trying to stamp out, rather than have its own editor-in-chief promote it himself. The press is a powerful tool, often called the 4th branch of government because of the power it wields, the use of headlines that are informative and not inflationary is paramount to a respectable print.

In 1992, Ballast Point started Home Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided to build their own brewery in the back of their store, and they started brewing the September of 1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help you get started brewing your own. Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers, Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat. The one that I chose to enjoy was the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale. . I was f irst introduced to Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana Beach at the Fish House just east of the 101 Highway. I was ordering some of the world best fish tacos and trying to decide on a beer to wash them down with. They have a fairly good selection of beer there, so I was having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for local brews, so when they told me that Ballast Point brews and bottles their beer locally in San Diego, I was sold. As I sat down with my f ish tacos and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a few friends showed up to help me finish the beer. How they knew where I was I still don't know, but, as always, it was a good time. Everyone enjoyed the beer and most of my food. Knowing that the beer didn't travel more than 25 miles to make it to my glass, made it even more refreshing. They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is know as a Kolsch type of beer. Kolsch originated in Cologne, Germany. The Yellow Tail is brewed using wheat and is pale in color. It is fermented at warm temperatures with ale yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like a pilsner beer, but it has a hint of fruitiness because of the Tettnanger hops and ale yeast that are used, although it is less bitter than most German beers. Ballast Point claims that Yellow Tale is fermented with yeast that they stole from breweries in Cologne Germany. Unlike most ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with a very mild aftertaste. In Cologne Germany, Kolsch Beer is brewed by 21 breweries, which makes Cologne the city with the most breweries in the world. Unfortunately for us, however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we only have a handful of breweries that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast Point is one of those. The Yellow Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch Beer. Ballast Point beers are available at Beverages and More, also you will find there are a few local bars and restaurants that Image courtesy of Ballast Point Brewing Company have it on tap. You can also visit the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista Road suite 406 San Diego, CA. They will gladly give you a tour of their facilities.

They choose what Internet sites to get their news; they TiVo the types of television programs they like, and they only listen to the music they choose on their MP3 players. People can now choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it opens up the boxed-in minds of its students. Cal State San Marcos not only aims to open students' minds through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the arts events on campus. On Thursday, February 15, the Tanosaki-Richards duo performed for an audience in Arts 111. The type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect example of music the typical college student would not normally be exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's piano and clarinet npiusic infuses modern Japanese style music with experimental sounds that many people have never before heard. The duo consists of pianist Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo, who are married to each other, have been playing together since 1982. They met while pursuing degrees at the University of San Diego. Richards received his Ph.D. from the University of San Diego after getting his bachelor degree at the New England Conservatory and his masters at Yale School of Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters from University of San Diego and a DMA in piano performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious venues ranging from the Piacenza Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the dux> Lincoln Center in New York City. The type of piano and clarinet music they play is unlike anything heard on a regular radio station. It is not classical music, and it was surprising to hear something so different from instruments that are so ordinary. They played five different songs on Thursday, and before performing, they explained a little about each song. The first song they played was "Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at the same time with his clarinet. u Out Of a Blaze of Light" was the next song performed. Written by Japanese composer Hiroyuki Itoh, the song featured clarinet quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by the pianist. The next two songs were solo pieces. "Elegy" by Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece that was much more melodic than the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was an open form song that Tanosaki played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter piece that had an interesting haiku sequence within. The concert was the first of the Funes Fund Concert Series, which features performers who provide new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos students. This concert series was established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday, March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. Both events will be held in Arts 111. These concerts are a wonderful opportunity to break out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's books that adults will always fawn over for its inspiring story and great literary significance. However, it is also a book that children can enjoy simply for its own sake, and that is a very rare combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed moralizing and contrived plot devices and instead has written a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL The main character of the book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy Photo courtesy ofSamantha Loomis Paterson The preteen book-with-alesson genre has been popular for many years. For every parent or teacher who has Movie Review who is "the only boy smashed between four sisters" in a poor family. At school he is the strange kid who likes to draw. At home, his mother favors his sisters, and his father thinks he is a sissy. One day a girl named Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is different from anything Jess's conservative small town has ever seen. Leslie doesn't have a TV, and she doesn't wear dresses. She races the boys at recess time—and wins. Jess and Leslie become best friends, and together they navigate their way through the hazards of being different. They invent their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal with the loss of the only person in his life that made him happy. Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is truly inspired. The setting and characters are based on a rural community near Washington, D.C., and the reader gets the feeling that he or she really could go visit this small town. Very few of the characters are simply flat plot devices, there to foil the hero and heroine or move the plot along. Even the most seemingly insignificant characters actually have very complex reasons for the way they behave. Likewise,, not all of the problems and challenges that Paterson creates get neatly wrapped up and resolved by the enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and loss that Jess experiences. She was inspired to write this book when her own son's best friend was killed in a tragic accident, and her story has an authenticity that could only come from someone who experienced the senseless loss of a child first hand. It's easy to see why "Bridge to Terabithia" is such a favorite of teachers. There are is a lot of material that could be used for instruction in the classroom. It is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization, setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though they may be learning while they read, kids will love this book anyway. It had me completely absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby. SCREEN A DAPTION F AUS SHORT Bridge to Terabithia BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer "Bridge to Terabithia" is a favorite of many children and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book into a movie. However, it is surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to turn what is arguably one of the greatest children's books of all time into anything more than a mediocre vehicle for CGI e ffects. The filmmakers chose to leave out many of the most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot twists. While these additions are certainly very pretty and exciting, they are nothing more than that—all f luff and no substance or significance. The moyie does stay t rue to both the plot and t he tone of the b ook. * People who have seen t he t railers and are hoping t hat t his movie is going to be a nother " Narnia'Mike f antasy story, will be d isappointed. People who read the book w ill p robably be d isappointed as well, but not b ecause t he s creenwriter changed t he story. The s creenwriter is a ctually the a uthor's son, David Paterson.

The audience can see her character develop from a background character to one that demands the attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the heart and the anchor of the family, a position that in life oftentimes lacks the appreciation it deserves. Thornton's performance seems effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose efforts are mocked and reduced to insane inventions by his detractors. Though there are imaginative aspects of "The Astronaut Farmer" that put to the test even the most amenable audience member's ability to suspend disbelief for 104 minutes, it is the relationships between the characters and not the plot that makes this film stimulate that mysterious mechanism inside each of us that stirs our thoughts and stimulates our capacities to dream. her dream," Madsen explained. "She's been married for 27 years, and [her husband and her] rocket was a diner. Her husband was a chef, and he always wanted to own his own restaurant . .. They all worked in the restaurant, and he made his dream come true. It became their collective dream. They were the Farmers, and that's where I got my inspiration and that's why the story made sense to me." Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed. "I wanted to be a professional actress, and I was a fireman's daughter. So, that was about as crazy as building a rocket, but I believed in myself and so did my parents." Of making her own dream come true, Madsen articulated, "You get discouraged a lot, but if you have faith and if you continue to believe in yourself, it doesn't matter how long it takes - you'll get there. It's about longevity. It's about perseverance." After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off. "[The film 'Sideways'] changed everything," she said. "I think the most important thing it did for me, not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I work with now, but it gave me a lot of confidence. That was the most important thing. Going through an awards season with a movie like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience." Madsen also attributed some of her new-found confidence to her age. "[45] is the best age. There is more confidence that comes in your 40s of course. It's such a great age for women. 'Desperate Housewives' are having it too. Now it's cool. Now it's chic to be a woman in your 40s, because you're now considered like you know things. (Coy smile.) So, we're sexy now."

Pictures The Pride interviews: T h e P olish B rothers BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer A large glowing orb loomed, emanating pulsating hues of blue, orange, and red; vintage aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil Armstrong, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The Hall of Fame, and the Apollo 9 Command Module Capsule stood proudly near the entrance to San Diego Air & Space Museum. There really couldn't have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop on the publicity tour for "The Astronaut Farmer." "'The Astronaut Farmer' started out as an independent [film]," said the film-making duo the Polish Brothers. "We made it independently under Warner Brothers Independent. That is ideally the best way to make a studio picture." The Polish Brothers are famous for such indie flicks as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and "Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. The brothers, identical twins from El Centro, California, said they think about stories in a similar way. "There hasn't been anything where I'm like, 'Wow, that's -incredibly bad. That's awful * said Michael Polish of his brother's contributions to the collaborative process. "Whoever comes up with the idea takes the f irst d raft. Or, w e'll do an outline together, and then w e'll go do a d raft and pass it back and forth. Lately, he's been writing a screenplay by himself. I've been writing by myself," Michael explains. "You still need a clear driver on d rafts," he continues. " Let's say, for instance, Mark does a whole d raft. I 'll read it and say, 'Maybe these two characters are sounding the same. You need to make them more distinctive or get ride of them. In a way, I become an editor for his screenplay, and he becomes an editor for my screenplay." The Polish brothers made "The Astronaut Farmer" into even more of a family affair than usual by casting their ypung daughters in the roles of young Stanley and Sunshine Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old Logan, respectively. Once they knew they were going to use their daughters for the roles, the brothers went back and made adjustments to the characters of Stanley and Sunshine. Michael and Mark knew their strengths and played to them. They were nervous about putting their kids into the roles, however, and Mark said he doesn't plan on doing it again. On working with Virginia Madsen, who plays Audrey "Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the brothers said she was "great. Great instincts. A lot of f un. Good mother. Both of them together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to watch." Of her character, they elaborated, "She's the glue in that family." A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer," the brothers' will move on to science fiction with their screenplay, "I.D." BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "The movie isn't really about a rocket. The movie is about working really hard to make your dreams come true and never giving up on your dream against all odds," said Virginia Madsen on February 15 at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park, which was one stop on the publicity tour for the film "The Astronaut Farmer." Madsen, whose filmography includes roles in movies such as "Dune," "The Rainmaker," "Sideways," and "A Prairie Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer, loving and supportive wife of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton), who builds a rocket in his barn and intends to launch it into space, on her sister whose dream was to raise children.

Members of the community, - Library staff and students joined Otto as he walked through his installation, describing his art work and his motivation. In Otto's installation, bird houses painted red and blue hang from branches above leaves strewn on the library floor. A colorful banner of cloth extends from the installation on the third floor to reach the fourth floor of the library. According to Otto, the bird houses in his art work symbolize the human form of a home. "A place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the world and to cultivate dreams," Otto said. With many recurring images in his work, one piece that stands out from the rest is a character Otto calls, "Rock guy."

In nine states, including California, the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that are 18 and older to obtain the product over the counter, while individuals under 17 can obtain the product with a prescription. CSUSM student, Laura Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to choose is a good idea, but it should not be available over the counter. I'm worried that younger women, who might not be informed, may use the morning after pill as a form of contraception without understanding their other options." At the CSUSM Health Center, the cost for the pill is $25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per month. After the second time in a month, an appointment is required. The main reason for requiring an appointment is because the product is not intended for frequent use, nor does it substitute birth control. Users should know that the product is advertised as up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said, "I personally believe that the plan B pill is a good backup method to birth control. However, I don't think that the pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the necessary precautions and be responsible when having intercourse but people do make mistakes which also See PLAN B, page 2 �THE(N>RID{ S A t yWVtWnYUN TT New study abroad options available % Deadlines approaching for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa ËDITQRIAI STAFF chance to apply and study for an academic year in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is May 1. A decision on whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late August. A complete application must contain an IP Application, two faculty recommendations and official university transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. According to the CSU International Programs website, "Admission of a student is based on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the appropriateness of the students' proposed plan of study to their degree objective." There is no application fee, and those looking to apply are best advised to meet with an IP Campus Coordinator. An academic year of studying abroad is beneficial to students because not only does it take time to culturally assimilate to your new surroundings, but the extensive amount of time also crosses the line of being a visitor into becoming a true resident in the community in which you are studying. Stockey understands the importance of spending an academic year abroad and said, "Year long programs provide an even greater opportunity for a richer cultural experience." IP enrollment fees are kept at an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported by the State of California. The cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own housing, transportation, meals and any extra costs. Scholarships and financial aid are available. However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the expérience you attain by studying abroad and considers studying abroad "A long-term investment in yourself and in your future." Students do receive credit for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered CSU resident credit. Academic Reports are prepared by the Office of International Programs, who converts host university information into CSU campus terms. Students must meet with a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how the work the student completed abroad applies within their scope of requirements. Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http:// w ww.csusm.edu/UGA/studyabroad.htm, or the official CSU International Programs website at http://www.gateway.calstate. edu/csuienet/index.shtml. range from books on women's issues to calculus and biologiit to vent and be alone.

Studying abroad allows students to engross themselves in an atmosphere that is not only academically stimulating, but also makes for a life-long experience. CSUSM International Programs advisor, Jan Stockey said, "Studying in another country brings a dimension to your education that you cannot imagine." As students separate themselves from what is familiar, students challenge themselves to exist in a foreign place. In meeting new people and encountering new experiences, students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves, but the world around them.

Hoss Vice President Finance and Administrative Services �C ougar s oftball h ome o pener BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only at Mission Hills High School Saturday, Feb. 10. Coach Jennifer Milo had her ladies ready in front of a crowd of roughly 200. Mr. Taco, the Mexican eatery that also catered the baseball opener, fed the hungry crowd as the Cougars stepped foot on their home turf for the first time in the program's history. Coach Milo said of the home fans, "This is fun. It's lots of support." The field at Mission Hills is in great condition and the parking is onsite right next to the Mission Blvd. entrance. Coach Milo put her ace pitcher Melissa Lerno out. in the first game of a double header against Vanguard University, a Christian School in Costa Mesa, CA. It was the right decision, and the sophomore Lerno was toughest when Vanguard had runners on base. After a single and balk in the first allowed a runner to get to third, Lerno induced a groundball to third base and Amanda Sanchez tossed over to first for the third out. Vanguard pushed home a run in the second on a weak grounder that somehow found a way through the right side. Lerno got the next hitter to ground back to Sanchez at third and left the bases loaded. In the third the Cougars dodged a bullet after a leadoff triple by Vanguard's Sarah Howe. Lerno got the next two on strikeouts before getting a lazy fly ball to left field where Leilani Madrigal snared it for the final out of the inning. Lerno definitely had her good stuff on this day stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real pitcher's dual as the Cougars had trouble with the high heat of Vanguard pitcher Jennifer Olvera, who struck out 14 on the day. It wasn't until the fifth inning that the Cougars put together a rally for the home fans. Erica Coelho walked with one out. After she hustled to beat the throw to second on a bunt by Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs and two on. She hit a looper towards the Bermuda Tri- angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center and left fielders. Vanguard's shortstop had to have heard the roar of the crowd as the ball tipped just off the edge of her glove. When the dust settled, Coelho scored the tying run and Madigal stood on second with a game tying RBI double. The game remained tied 1-1 as both teams missed opportunities with runners on base. After Lerno got a clutch two out strikeout on a close pitch with runners on first and second, Vanguard Coach Beth Renkoski was kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was inconsistent but Lento said, "He got better as the game went on." The teams played into extra innings where each side gets to start their half inning with a runner on second base. Vanguard was able to get a run in the eighth despite the brilliant play by Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt. The Cougars failed to get a run in the bottom of the eighth and lost the game 21. It was a hard fought game and led Coach Milo to say the team is "getting used to each other." She was also happy with the performance of Lerno in the loss saying, "she just got stronger and stronger out there." As for the extra inning "International Rule" where the inning starts with a runner on second base, Coach Milo said, "to me it doesn't show the better team, but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when each team gets the ball at the 25 yard line in overtime. The Cougar softball program has already beaten then ranked # 10 Concordia, and appears ready to compete in this first season of play. Mission Hills High School is located on Mission Blvd a few miles east of Twin Oaks Valley Road just on the other side of the 78 from CSUSM campus.

The dedication on and off the track, and hours and hours of preparation for each event gets the teams one step closer to their goals. The early meets are stepping-stones towards the next meet and preparation for Nationals. Coach Scott said, "[We are] starting at the Meet of Champions, then [we will move on to] Triton, UCI, Clairemont and Occidental. These are the meets that will point towards Nationals. These meets are to get them at their best, to set new personal records and to prepare them for Nationals." The NAIA National Championships is set for May 24 to 26 in Fresno, CA. This gives the CSUSM track teams three months to prepare and qualify for Nationals. Some of these athletes may be able to qualify for Nationals at the Rossi Invitational. As the team gets deeper into the season, more and more of the CSUSM track athletes will continue to qualify for Nationals. So, be sure to stop by one of the many track meets and support your fellow classmates. Give them that extra adrenaline rush that will help push them over those qualification marks and reach nationals.

The talent consisted of Hall This was another Charger team of Fame athletes like Dan Fouts, with future Hall of Famers Donnie Edwards, LaDainiari Tomlinson, Lorenzo Neal, Keenan McCardell, and I think it would be safe to say Antonio Gates and Shawne Merriman. Yet the Chargers managed to break the hearts of thousands of fans again in typical San Diego fashion. Than there are the Padres, the other group of historically talented losers. This is a team that has only made five playoff appearances in 39 years. Theirfirstplayoff appearance was in 1984 in which they made the World Series, losing 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers. The Padres did not return to the playoffs again until 1996, where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Division Series. Then, in 1998 they made their second and last World Series appearance, tasting defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees in a series which ended 4-0. In 2005, the Padres made it to the NLDS where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals. The team's last playoff appearance was in 2006 in the NLDS, where they lost yet again to the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1. What is it about the Padres and the Chargers that seems to prevent them from winning the big one? I can't really answer that question. Is San Diego a cursed city when it comes to sports? Why not? The Boston Red Sox had the "curse of the Bambino" and the Chicago Cubs have the "Billy Goat curse." If there is a curse, what curse is it that rests over San Diego's professional sports teams? �website of the week: p i t c h f o r k m e d i a . c o m BYJONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer ample amounts of information regarding independent music.

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Paula Montagna, a graduate student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and Writing, transferred here with a 4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-. Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any method of making it higher. "By using a grading criteria in which students may earn an A-, but offering no option to earn an A+," said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a grading system which punishes students for their imperfections, rather than reward students for their achievements." Is an "A+" an ever-elusive grade at this school? How did our current grading system get implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some of the answers. About why grades top out at A, he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question ourselves at the time but decided to stay with the long-established standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening the possibility of escalating to A+, A++, etc. and undermining the integrity of the A." The plus/ minus system of grading is meant to indicate the subtleties of students' performance. Cohen also sheds light on the possibility of attaining an A+. "Over the years at CSUSM, I did issue A+ grades on occasion. The grade went to one or two people whose performance was way out ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after looking over my grade books, that it was with a frequency of about 1-2 per hundred." The grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into the grade point average as more than just a regular A. Grade inflation was one of the concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading policy. Cohen said, "Too many faculty are concerned with being popular and for them A+ may become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding Faculty when they considered the question." Grade inflation, according to national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It is defined as the increase of the number of high grades over time, and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and more students achieving higher grades, it is easy to conclude that standards have been slipping; with students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had preceded them, it is conclusive to attribute the higher grades phenom- enon on the institution and not on students simply becoming smarter. Many measures have been taken by other universities to combat grade inflation. Some universities limit the number of A' grades a professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a D at BYU. The professors made it their personal mission to ensure that no one ever received A's on assignments. It was to avoid a little thing called 'grade inflation.'" While CSUSM does not employ such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to Cohen who helped to implement our current grading systeip. CSUSM celebrates Black History Month BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer "I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" - Martin Luther King Jr. February marks the annual celebration of "Black History Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February 12, 1926 as the first celebration created by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, a Harvard Scholar, has now become the nationally observed "Black History Month." Traditionally celebrated in the second week of February, Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate African American history in February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt had a significant impact on African American history, and both of whom celebrated birthdays in the month of February.

The day set aside for lovers to share their feelings for one another. The day dreaded by single people around the world. The day chocolate and flower vendors make a fortune, and the day that cupid makes his presence known, shooting heart-tipped arrows off into oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour. Many might be wondering how the uber-commercialized holiday came about, while others could care less as long as the chocolates and candy-studded greetings continue to abound. For those, however, who are curious, Valentine's Day as we know it is said to be a combination of an event and a historical person. The event is said to have begun in the pagan times of ancient Rome, with the annual celebration of a fertility festival called the "Feast of Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred in mid-February. The festival was known for pairing the mating of young men and women each year through a sweepstake arrangement. More often than not, it is said that the arranged couple would fall in love and eventually marry. Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor Claudius II. To retain a valiant army, Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted soldiers, but to his misfortune was able keep soldiers, because the majority of men did not want to join his army because of their commitment to their wives and families. Upon realizing this, Claudius forbade all engagements and marriages in Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and romantic priest began to organize secret marriages for young couples. As soon as Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery, he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron saint for lovers during the Middle Ages in France and England. Then in 498 A.D., Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. Exchanging "valentines" and love notes is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice began with Saint Valentine himself, who while in prison fell in love with a young girl, thought to have been the jailor's daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which he signed: "From your Valentine." It is also said that Valentine's Day falls on Febr 14 each year because during the Middle Ages in England and France that date marked the commencement of bird mating season. Furthermore, the oldest accounted for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Nonetheless, though the rumors and allegation surrounding Saint Valentine seem to flow in abundance, they all have one thing in common; they portray Saint Valentine as a heroic and romantic man, suggesting that Valentine's Day should be a day for love and romance.

As a child, Pennypacker's favorite books were "Treasure Island," "Black Beauty," and "The Yearling." Her decision to write a children's book, however, didn't come until sjie was raising her own children. "I started hanging out in libraries; that's what you do when you have kids." She read the best of children's literature - and the worst. When she realized how much "junk" was floating around in the children's book market, Pennypacker decided to try her hand at writing.

It is understandable, then, how attached she becomes to her characters: "I carry my characters around." Her son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention Deficit Disorder,-combined with his artistic, empathetic nature, also characteristic of ADD. Pennypacker said that she wanted to show the positive aspects of ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the adults in "Clementine" are very supportive of the third-grader. "I wish the world had [told my son], 'What a wonderful artist you are,'" said the author. When speaking of the writing process, Pennypacker refered to "flow." "There-is a feeling of Tightness when you tap in instead of controlling [the process]," she articulated.

Located in Balboa Park near downtown San Diego, the Old Globe is one of the town's first professional theaters, hosting 50 minute versions of Shakespeare back in 1935. The Cassius Carter Centre Stage was renovated out of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225 seat arena is incredibly intimate. The stage is in the center, and the actors perform to every angle, giving everyone the feeling of nearness to the action. With the 360 degree seating, only four rows occupy each side, so every seat is a good one. In "The Four of Us," actors Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and Sean Dugan (David) experience friendship while entering the life o £a writer. The play opens by dropping the audience into the middle of a conversation at lunch regarding Benjamin signing his first book deal. David, who has chosen to go into playwriting, has yet to have any recognition of his talent. The sarcastic wit of actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever dialogue written by Itamar Moses reveal the envy and resentment going on in the mind of David. The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the audience in with the clothing of the cast and their conversation. However, the relationship of the rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been friends since a summer camp after high school and have seen each other grow into separate careers in writing. Along the way they share the awkwardness of dating and money-making. The acting in this play was very well done. Sean Dugan, who has appeared in HBO's dynamic cellblock series OZ and episodes of the Law & Order series, did a brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with a real air of pride. Yet, with only two actors, the back and forth gets a bit tiresome at spots. There seems to be an inward reflection by playwright Itamar Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create celebrities andpoison friendships. Moses is considered the next big thing in the theater crowd, having much critical acclaim in New York City and nationally. At 29 years old, Moses' future seems very bright. : K ^HJ , : Bring your thinking cap to this very clever comedy surrounded by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With cigarette-smoking on stage and a male bonding marijuana puffing session, "The Four of Us" is most definitely intended for a mature audience. ^'The Four of Us" is playing February 3-March 11.

ÌMCB $9û:QbcmmmhY I �Movie Review BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer "The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an original name? It is pretty much the most original thing about this film, as the Pang brothers borrow elements of three or four other horror movies and mix it up into 90 minutes of tired horror cliché. Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things that grownups cannot (as the trailers for this movie implied), the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make any sense. What kills me the most is how much potential this movie had and how much was wasted in falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see psychotic crows reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted crawling-on-the-walls ghosts which gives you "The Grudge" deja vu, and a giant haunted house similar to — I don't know — every horror movie « T V Messengers fails to deliver ever made. The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North Dakota from Chicago in hopes of making a fortune on cultivating sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy (Dylan McDermott), and mom, Denise (Penelope Ann Miller), are the oblivious parental duo. Roy is a hard-working farmer with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes include bed making and making a killer glass of lemonade. Jess (Kristen Stewart) is their teenage daughter who is deeply affected by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by twins Evan and Theodore Turner) is the toddler who, conveniently, cannot talk but sees much. Right before planting time, Roy meets up with a mysterious drifter (John Corbett) whom he hires on the spot after learning his first name. Meanwhile, the house is playing tricks on Jess and Ben who are the only ones harassed by ghosts. The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include "The Panic Room" and "Cold Creek Manor," do an amazing job with what they are given. Stewart is wonderful in this role, giving her character the balance of maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to hold his family together. Miller never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother. The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a credit to them and the directors. Corbett plays his role so suavely that you almost doubt he is a threat to the Solomon family. The music and sound design were both done nicely. Though the music was a very obvious cue to what is going to happen next, the score was well-written and well utilized. The sound design, in particular, was eerie and scary without going overboard into cliché-land. Possibly the only time I was even a little frightened during this film was due to the excellently crafted sound. The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal but seemed to take you too much out of the experience instead of bringing you in. Overall, the plot is the thing that gets in the way of this movie the most. Apart from the fact that moviegoers had to suffer through tired, recycled horror tactics, the movie simply did not make any sense at the end. Small plot holes are easy to ignore, but when they are as big as the sunflower field on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in less time than it says to say "The Messengers." And, after seeing this entire movie and taking pretty good notes, I still have no idea why it is even called that. If you enjoy pointing out plot holes and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you. Otherwise, "The Messengers" is completely skippable. •«ini J • rt.lt J i f M W^WÊiM' I ffi : -, / ^MESSENGERS Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Beer of the Week ^ i n t e r s Jgourbon £ a s k ¿ Ale Pride Staff Writer Anheuser-Busch brews Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale December through February.

The packaging, containing six 12 ounce bottles, sold the beer. On the packaging stands a snowman wrapped with a scarf, mittens, beanie, and even goggles. In light of the fact that snowmen are the coolest of all men, the snowman smugly holds a frosty mug of frothy beer as snowflakes descend from the beer heavens above. Strong aromas emerged from the bottle as I poured the cold contents into a chilled mug. The aroma from the hops and vanilla bean filled the vicinity as rays of light struggled to filter through the daik ahibfcr bdlxkr ^ ithe Hie. A powerful scent and TtiScioirs color sent surges of glee to my parched mouth. Reluctance gave way to impatience until the mug tilted and the ale began pouring into my mouth. A few sips quickly discovered the courageousflavorof hops and the smooth, retreating taste of vanilla. The bold taste and soft sweetness parallels the experience of Diet Coke. Diet Coke tastes strong at first before the aspartame leaves a semisweet flavor. The ale has many ingredients. Dark roasted caramel malts, all-imported hops, which are aged on toasted bourbon oak casks and whole Madagas- car vanilla beans^ cotopriis^" the^ ale. In the words of my four roommates, the ale "tastes like pumpkin pie," "is sweet first then bitter," "has a vanilla spike and bold taste," and one of my roommates who preferred to swallow the ale wholly through a conventional device designed for mass consumption of such substances said the beer "has a weird, rare, and uncommon taste." For an adventure and delicious treat for your taste buds, rush to the store and select your own six pack of Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale. The brew sits on shelves for a limited time. Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride Drink of the Week Ck/OooLfote, BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The scrumptious secret of the bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in world history. Those who may scoff at this assertion will, wild-eyed, change their opinion when their mouths are stuffed with the ambrosial marvel that is chocolate. As the story goes, the Aztecs discovered the aphrodisiac potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love lives on. The link is not only found in history and lore but in the chemistry of the human brain. The high we experience when happy or in love involves the discharge of chemicals phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents. It is, then, no surprise why ardent suitors and the happily married alike buy up armfuls of See's and Godiva chocolates for Valentine's Day. We delight in experimenting on our loved ones MfcirtLiisL' and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version of playing doctor. If the mad chemist in you is dying to get out this Valentine's Day, why not introduce him or her to your inner bartender. Meet the Chocolate Martini - a cocktail glass full of the most indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this libidinous libation is best when enjoyed with your sweetie. To make a pair of delicous Choco 'tinis you need: 1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur (I used Godiva.) v 1 1/2 shots creme de cacao 1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.) 2 1/2 shots half-and-half Chocolate syrup to garnish Chocolate shavings to garnish Swirl chocolate syrup in two chilled cocktail glasses. Mix all ingredients except for syrup and shavings in a shaker with ice, shake, and strain into glasses. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Thefact of the matter is, we have dangerous intersections and a severe lade of planning to protect pedestrians. While it is reported (coincidentally in this same issue of The Pride) that Planning, Design and Construction have plans to address traffic on campus, nothingwill be implemented for several years. Even then, protection against pedestrian accidents will be minimal. The feet of the matter is, without the death of a pedestrian, there is no sufficient pressure driving this issue.

David Gatley Editor In Chief Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36 p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her bike on campus was struck by a car. The driver was attempting to make a left on Palm Canyon drive toward Craven drive. When the driver was waved down by another driver to turn, The Sprinter to arrive in San Marcos in December 2007 the driver let their foot off the brake and collided with the girl on the bike who was halfway through the crosswalk. A t once, students on foot ran to assist the girl who ultimately sustained minor bruising and swelling. University Police caught the scene on video from a camera pod. Perched on top of Craven Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel- logg Library, these camera pods can zoom in and out, and can reach as far as to the Ralph's shopping center across thè street from campus.. Sergeant Jesse Flores of University Police was also present at the scene and made the report. Flores said, "We would like the community to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com- munity Service Officers who direct the traffic." On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the four-way stop every 15 minutes. On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and they are constantly patrolling traffic. With the addition of parking lot F and the highest enrollment in COUGAR BASEBALL CSUSM history, the intersection of Campus View drive and Palm Canyon drive is seeing record traffic levels.

Governor approves bill no cell phone when driving BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer As early as December, the North County Transit District will be offering a new mobility solution for CSUSM students and North County residents. It is called the Sprinter and it is a rail system that will run between Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido. The 22 miles of track will run along Highway78 between 1-15 different stations. The Sprinter will be using a it is exactly this that Decker and his team are here to see through. Decker said, "A lot of people use 'campus' and 'university' interchangeably but it's not.

The first offense costs drivers $20, and the following offenses will cost $50. Sociology major Nicole Yescas shares the same frustration that most drivers have felt at one time or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe problems on the road it is due to someone talking on their cell phone. From people sitting at green lights, to running stop signs, to only going 40mph in the fast lane or pulling out of CSUSM parking lot F, the cell phone unfortunately seems to inhibit people's ability to drive attentively."

CSUSM is in the midst of Phase II of construction, planning and design, which will take place over the next ten years.

"The vehicles don't let the pedestrians go; the pedestri ans don't let the vehicles go, and there's all this traffic." The traffic light would serve both cars and pedestrians. Another project underway is the McMahan House. Funded by a $2.3 million donation from Richard and JoAn McMahan, the McMahan House will serve both the university and the community. It will be built beside the track. The knoll beside the track will remain, but it will have a garden. "We've just had the schematic design approved by the Chancellor's Office," Decker said. The McMahan House will mainly be a place where people can gather, dine and hold events. In all construction activities, the state will only provide the money for instructional space. Parking, housing and recreational activities remain outside of this realm. A baseball and softball diamond are presently just an idea, one that cannot become viable until there is funding behind it. There is also a plan to build a diving arid swimming complex behind the Clarke field house. Until then, Phase II of construction, which includes various other projects over the next ten years, will keep Planning, Design and Construction busy. Decker and Ramirez both agreed that their plans for the next ten years are ambitious. Decker said, "We run like crazy at the end, but there's a real sense of completion and accomplishment and closure." �NEWS THE PRIDE From SPRINTER, page 1 light rail service unlike any in California.

The Sprinter's low emission vehicles are environmentally friendly. N CTD spokesperson Tom Kelleher said, "The Sprinter was a perfect fit for the EscondidoOceanside corridor because there was an existing track dating back to the 1800s. Freight trains have been operating in the corridor ever since. Without the existing line, this project would be difficult to start from scratch."

"Once the rail line is reconstructed and the loop completed," Kelleher explains, "our contractors need to integrate all the new signal systems at grade crossings, our closed-circuit television system along the line, (and) our communication systems at our dispatch facility in Escondido. Our vehicles are being tested along the line in Escondido and San Marcos." Once completed, the Sprinter will help to make North County a better place. In the near future, being stuck on Highway 78 traveling to or from school may be a thing of the past. The station at Cal State San Marcos will be located over by the campus police station on La Moree, providing easy access to the campus and a way to escape escalating campus paiking fees. The Sprinter project information line can be reached at 760599-8332. Torabi summarize their research, "That using hands-free cell phone use while driving did not differentiate from using handheld cell phones in accidents or near-accidents implies that reduced physical distraction does not necessarily enhance driving safety." The article also demonstrates that while male college students hold the title for greater likelihood to drink , and drive, female college students hold the title for "frequent cell phone users" while driving. We'll have to see for ourselves how the new cell phone law will impact California roads. S WANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $ 1 1 ® -$18,00 per ¡¡¡i^^ftir'Séivìce: $9.00 .

FinAid is mutually beneficial to high school and college students and their parents. Furthermore, the website has also received several honors by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others. FinAid gives students and parents their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives students a College Cost Projector that calculates the estimated cost of tuition. Then it gives students an opportunity to find out how much the financial aid institution expects the student to receive from parents. It also allows students to calculate how much financial aid will be needed with the help of the Financial Aid Estimation Calculator. Once a student determines the total amount of financial needed aside from parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of loans. The website lists several options on how to receive a student loan, which is a low interest loan only available for students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based on one's credit score, as a private lender gives them and is separate from the government. Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid, as they are rewarded for a person's academic excellence. With hundreds of thousands of scholarships available each year, FinAid provides information that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or artistic talents. FinAid aims to find a scholarship that fits each individual student. It also informs students of certain scholarships that one should not go after. FinAid also gives information on financial aid for specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so forth. For example, there is also a unique scholarship list such as Scholarships for Left-Handed Students and Little People of America Scholarship for those 4'10" and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of scholarships for the average students who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need offinancialaid. FinAid also encourages students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which could give a student the opportunity to receive both federal and state aid for school, which are separate from each other. The federal government gives federal aid. A student can qualify for federal aid through the FAFSA, and the student's financial need is allocated according to the information filled out on FAFSA. Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded to the state departments, which then can distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and loans are only available to students who havefileda FAFSA. If visitors have trouble understanding some of the terminology on the website, FinAid has a glossary to help with those words, such as fellowships, which is aid given to graduate students to help pay for their education. Another important term for those who have loans would be maturity date, which is the end date of a loan that must be repaid in full. If the glossary doesn't help answer questions, FinAid has over 100 financial aid administrators in the United States that are available to answer questions. Administrators can answer questions that aren't addressed on the website, and they can also help clarify things that aren't making sense. One of the things the website does very well is help prepare students on applying for scholarships. It guides students into finding a scholarship that fits his or her needs and then helps get the student organized for a particular scholarship by informing the student of upcoming deadlines and eligibility criteria. FinAid also offers students a guide to writing essays, as they may be required for certain scholarships. For more information, please visit: www.finaid.org Juniors • Seniors • Graduate Students Dr. Jill Watts receives award BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of CSUSM History Department Dr. Jill Watts-is the recipient of the 2007 President's Award for Scholarship and Creative Activity; the ceremony took place on Jan. 18. Dr. Watts, a History professor and the coordinator for the Film Studies minor at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," originally published in October 2005, to be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In addition to these accomplishments, Watts is also the coordinator for the Department of History's first master's degree program, which will be starting up in the fall of 2007. Watts, born and raised in San Diego, holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles. She joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of 1992. Watts has also published two other books in addition to her latest since her stay at CSUSM. When asked about how she likes CSUSM, Watts commented that it is a great university; "I can't think of a better place to be," Watts said in an interview over the telephone. "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in the beginning of February, which Watts said pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people are thinking about the Academy Awards," Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in 1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what most motivated her to pursue not only her researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books including past books on Mae West and Father Divine, and future books which she is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on the strong cinematic women of the 1930s, said Watts The President's Award is a prestigious award in which a professor is nominated by faculty and then chosen by the president of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here." Watts also said that she loves working with so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*' The Film Studies minor, which Watts coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments. Watts considers it rewarding to work in a program that brings together students from so many disciplines. Thus far students at CSUSM have been and continue to be very interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand the program. The new History Master's program, another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the first programs to incorporate mass media with history. The idea behind the degree is that one can gain experience with using new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history, while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester. Watts is pleased that many people have already applied to the program, which is pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says. Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM this semester.

After Julio posted scoreless third and fourth innings, he was knocked out in the fifth and relieved by Auggie Richardson. Richardson was promptly greeted with a run-scoring double by Chris Denhart, followed by a sac fly by Danny Gonzales, making the score 11-2. In the bottom half of the inning, the Cougars threatened but were only able to push across two runs courtesy of Adam Ricciardulli and Chuck Baird RBI's.

It was standing-roomonly throughout the game, with students and members of the San Marcos * community showing their support for the new CSUSM team.

Woods snatched another victory Sunday Jan. 28 at the Buick Invitational held at Torrey Pines along the beautiful coast of San Diego. It was his third straight win at the Buick and his fifth ' bvCTall at1S^'t)!eg(fs finlsf public course set to host the '08 US Open. More importantly, it was Woods' seventh victory in a row in PGA t our events, a streak topped only by golfing legend Byron Nelson in 1945. That's right: it is the longest streak in 62-years. In today's game the pressures are much more intense. The advent of the information age has sports writers tracking Tiger's every move. Also, the field of golfers in each tournament has increased tremendously in that time. Golf is an international sport, and Tiger has to beat players from New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and every other country's top ranked performers. The win was tournament victory No. 55 (fifth all-time), and his eighth in San Diego County. He has won at La Costa three times. On Thursday, Tiger found himself five shots back after a course record tying 61 by tour rookie Brandt Snedeker. The twentysix year old, who said it was like playing the Tiger Woods video game, was stalked and eventually caught by the world's No. 1 ranked player. Each event Tiger enters seems to have some early fireworks by a fresh face or seasoned veteran. On Sunday, Woods lurked a few shots back ready to pounce. It doesn't seem to matter the situation, Tiger can overcome just about any lay from any angle. Even landing in the bunker 16 times in thefinaltwo days netted only bne bogeyf%afis due to focus and a bril- ' liant short game. Going up against Tiger Woods on Sunday is like running from a tornado; better duck and cover, because it will go right over you. While the youngsters fell back and the veterans played well, Tiger was busy shooting the lowest score of thefinalround to walk away with $936,000. When the pressure mounts, he seems to get better. While other golfers are happy to get a top ten finish, Woods considers that a loss. Anything other than first is a bad weekend. Golf is not supposed to be played with that mentality. A tour player should plug along through the season, finishing in the money, finding some consistency, and getting a win here and there. The attitude of Tiger Woods is that of a different breed. He goes into every tournament trying to win. It is his incredible mental ability that separates him from the other golfers in his era and elevates Tiger Woods as one of the best players to ever swing the clubs. In April, Woods will attempt to get his fifth green jacket at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. That's enough to start a basketball team. Only Jack Nicklaus with six has more. Nicklaus, with eighteen, is the only man with more major championships than Woods who has twelve. At 31-years-old, Woods is two thirds of the way to Jack Nicklaus. If he can win all four majors this year and the masters next April, Tiger Woods will be gunning to tie a legend here in San Diego at a place he is pretty comfortable - Torrey Pines. It is not a likely scenario, but with Tiger Woods nothing is' impossible. mm What i make informed, h ealth confident c h o i i l 2 77 S.

Whether it's Darfur, Uganda, the exploitation of child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole of the African continent, there doesn't seem to be too much talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the war in Iraq, which doesn't get enough coverage at that. Keeping all of that in mind, however, there is a place, a small place that is being destroyed and uprooted by the American dollar, which no one seems to know about. That place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You might be asking yourself. Yes. Jamaica. Many of us think of Jamaica as home to Bob Marley, the origin of Reggae music, and as a tropical dream vacation destination, and that's about it. There is much more to Jamaica, however, than meets the eye, or should I say, than meets the mainstream media. Here is where "Life and Debt," a film by Stephanie Black comes into play. Utilizing the text from Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small Place," a story about economic strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island and Kincaid's place of origin) as an overlay and contextual frame for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps film with tourists, both American shameless entertainment within a it's because I am a middle class and British, arriving in Jamaica beautiful tropical setting.

Major League Baseball is partly to blame since they denied an agreement between the two parties. The reason for concern is because the contract had a stipulation that said the Giants could terminate the contract if Bonds was indicted on steroids charges. What many people don't know is that there were other stipulations in that contract that could have terminated the deal at any point in the season. Clause IB stated: If the defendant.. .1 mean.. .Mr. Bonds shows any side effects from steroids, the contract shall be terminated. Things that fall under this category include the changing of skin color from black to green, exploding of purple pants, and changing the name on the back of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk." Clause 10J stated: If syringes are found in possession of Mr. Bonds then they better be for the use of heroine and not for the use of horse steroids. Clause 16E stated: If Mr. Bonds' is found grazing in the outfield looking f or horse feed then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 24L stated: If Mr. Bonds violently punches a teammate in the face then it better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because of "roid rage" then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 9W stated: In order to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is not allowed to do certain things for himself. The following services will be provided for him. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated runner after base hits in order to prevent knee problems. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated driver after home games so that he doesn't have to think about driving. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim ignorance if something tainted should happen to appear in his urine. Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds will be subject to a weigh-in every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the weight of his head is in the neighborhood of 50-pounds it will be assumed that he is on steroids and the contract shall be terminated. Clause 17C stated: If Mr. Bonds hits less than 22 homeruns in the 2007 season his "pharmacist" will be relieved of his duties and Mr. Bonds will have to pay back half of his 2007 salary. Clause 22G stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to make 10 public appearances, which - don't include ones in front of a judge. Clause 34K stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to perform three public service announcements in the fight against drug abuse. Among the drugs Bonds feels most strongly against are Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he fails to complete the P.S.A.'s. THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior clauses will be null and void. This contract was drawn up by the Law o ffices of "Jock Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at Sando026@csusm.edu. the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports, and production (including labor). It just doesn't seem right. Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within me, and I strongly urge my peers who haven't seen it, to take an interest in it and speak out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some things I already knew—how indifferent people can be as well as insensitive our society is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are to live in America regardless of our political leaders, how little about the world I really do know and understand, and how there is so much more out there than we ever see or hear about because of the fact that we do live in America. It also taught me that nothing is as it seems, and that as students of this university, and students of any university for that matter, have the opportunity to do something because of the academic and open environment we have at our disposal. The words of one student can incite the actions of thousands of students. Therefore I dare all of you to speak out. Give Jamaica a voice; end their life in debt.

Letter to the Editor: Net Neutrality This email is in response to the "The Freedom of the Internet" article (Jan 31st). I am very proud that such a serious issue such as Net Neutrality has finally gotten exposure in our school's paper. It blows my mind that people, rather telecom corporations, who had nothing to do with the creation, development, and distribution of the internet feel they can take the reigns of control over the content of OUR world wide web. Not talking about this of brushing it off will only aid the billion dollar fat cats in their maniacal plot to go Farenheit 451 on our only remaining open media outlet.

Within five years of its release, Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over 20 countries, with sales steadily increasing at 200,000 cases sold per year.

On Monday, January 22, members of the San Marcos chapter of the California Faculty Association took part in informational picketing to educate the campus on the lack of negotiations and adequate pay raises that the CSU Board of Trustees and the Chancellor's office Photo courtesy of Campus Police Photo by Kelly Corrigan/The Pride Dr. Janet McDaniel, Professor of Education during last Monday's informational picketing. Just last year, CSUSM was hailed the Grand Champion of Recycling i n-the Recyclemania competition that has become even more popular among colleges and universities across the nation. And now, from January 28 to April 7, we are taking part in the competition once again. But this year, there's new have forced upon the faculty of the CSU system. In their effort to educate the students and the community, CSUSM professors held signs and chanted in favor of a fair Contract. Two days later, the CSU Board of Trustees gave a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had been in the workings since July. In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's rally when 1,000 professors and 500 students chanted in front of the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, the executives received a pay raise from the CSU Board of Trustees which would put some of them up to earning $377,000 annually. In all their efforts for gaining a fair contract and a halt in student tuition raises, this recent pay raise adds another wrinkle to the complexity of what has become a salient issue of misplaced priorities. Janet Powell, CFA President of the San Marcos chapter, said, "The CFA was not surprised by recent events of the CSU Board of Trustee's decision to raise top administrator's salaries or the Governor's Budget which will likely raise student tuition by another 10%. It is because of this' type of disregard for faculty and See RECYCLEMANIA, page 3 See CFA, page 2 BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer See CCC, page 3 CSU board of trustees g ives pay raise to top executives; profesors look to strike as only option BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Cross cultural center moves; welcomes all students The Cross Cultural Center, formerly known as the Multicultural Center, has moved from Craven IJall 4110 to Craven Hall 3400, just down the hall from the new Cougar Central.

The Cross Cultural Center, or C3, is not only a wonderful place to hang out, but it also provides programs that strive to affirm the diversity of the campus community. The C3 has a couple of events planned for February, and more in the works for the upcoming months.

We are concerned about the future of the CSU, our salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue." Dr. Powell added,. "We are not against raises for anyone; all employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged that the Board of Trustees have chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises to them while at the same time walking away from the faculty bargaining table." CFA Secretary, Professor Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as well. Professor Newman said, "I'm angry about the misplaced priorities of the administration, but I am hopeful that determined activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the administration to think again." On February 6, the CFA will hold an informational meeting for all faculty in order to make the decision to strike as they take all the variables of the strike into consideration. The CFA has made it clear that the last thing they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible that classes could be cancelled on the two day rolling strikes. Dr. Powell said, "At this point, the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of J Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf touch with the needs of those who are at the heart of the CSU, the students, staff, and faculty. They did not get the message at our protest in November and they seem to not be getting it by our picketing now. Striking seems to us to be the only option." Professor Newman and Dr. Powell agreed that students can do their university a favor and let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out against the mismanagement of faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we need most right now is a unified message from all parts of the university community—students, faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's time to rebuild our school. The CSU is the future of California, but for too many years, we've seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'" Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when it comes to issues that affect them and those around them such as siblings and children. "Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of Trustee's, legislators, and the Governor are efforts all students should participate in on a regular basis. I hope that students will do whatever they think is best for themselves and future students and encourage them to research these issues and come to their own conclusions." Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU has long been considered the 'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is disappearing as more students will not be able to attend college due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit or retain quality professors, staff, and administrators."

Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free summer internship at the institution of their choice. According to Lisa Bandong, the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship and Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program are two scholarship programs from the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University. Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why our campus administers them through the Faculty Center. The funds from both of these programs come from the California State Lottery." Bandong is the go-to person when students begin the process of recieving a scholarship. She will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the application and selection process, and most importantly, the faculty sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements but both need a faulty sponsor. It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the faculty who know the student can better support students and help students with t heij goals. Bandong's advice is for "students working consciously on building relationships with their profes- sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as they can about their professors' experiences and talk with their professors about their goals and plans." "The Pre-Doc is designed to increase the diversity of the pool of potential university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and educationally disadvantaged" said Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable loan for students who return to teach at a CSU campus, and once they begin teaching, 20% of the loan is forgiven with every year of service. Though the scholarship does not guarantee employment to any of the CSU's, it definitely helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU system.

The Campœ Policetìps line ext is 8 477, : ' : Bartleby.com is a literature haven that combines a hybrid selection of classic and modern literature ready for reference. The website offers—for free—a huge resource of everything from English usage guides to quick reference of famous quotations, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction literature. For students this means easy access to a lot of information. Some of the information offered is otherwise expensive and/or hard to find. Bartleby comes in handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that one famous quote, anyway?" As Gertrude Stein says, "Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing," and this is just one example of the thousands of famous quotes that can be easily found on Bartleby. With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at CSUSM, sooner than later most CSUSM students can and should utilize these references. With Bartleby students can quickly have access to key pointers in the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like "affect" and "effect," or "accept" and "except." Additionally, the expansive encyclopedias can be extremely helpful. The website also contains full texts of anthologies and volumes of classic literature, including Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, William Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. The verse, fiction and non-fiction collections offered by the website are unique indeed. If one happens to be "falling, upon the thorns of life," in the name of Shelley, searching for Poe or Dickinson, or just need some guidance with "Beowulf," Bartleby has the easy button readily available for students and professors alike. In 1993, Bartelby.com offered their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." The New York based website boasts 370,000 web pages, 10,000 poems, and an elaborate collection of quotations at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date. Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo- pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary." According to the website, Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of Bartleby started it as a research experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the vast accessible resource that it is today. When a viewer feels that he or she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private collection, Bartleby also offers books for sale in connection with Amazon.com. Bartleby and Amazon forge the common goal to accelerate the wide availability of literature.

In the near future you will not be able to access most of the websites you visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast. Your high speed internet will not apply to any site you go to, but only those chosen by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning, this is already happening, and the Internet needs our help. If you are not yet familiar with the term "Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new; bloggers, active citizens, websites, and activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According to www.savetheinternet.com "When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever website we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts, searching for information, emailing, and instant messaging, anytime we choose. We also assume that we can attach devices like wireless routers, game controllers, or extra hard drives to make our online experience better. What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding principle that ensures the Internet remains free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change. The biggest cable and telephone com- panies would like to charge money for smooth access to Web sites, speed to run applications, and permission to plug in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the right to use the network. Those who don't make ä deal and pay up will experience discrimination: Their sites won't load as quickly, their applications and devices won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's unusable. It now falls to the Senate to save the cable companies, including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, want to free and open Internet.

That may be something of a shock to, hear from a sports writer, especially one who loves football. But hear me out on this one. The game is built up for two weeks. It is talked about in the media for those 14 days as, the greatest game that will ever be played, and more times than not I have admitted to seeing better high school games. ^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives the media plenty of opportunity to beat the same stories to death. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first job in the NFL and how they are best friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I only need to hear these things once. I also know that Peyton Manning has yet to win the big game and that Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also, don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka coached the 1985 Bears, which won the Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex Grossman has been sketchy this season. If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin Harrison and Manning being in sync for more touchdowns than any other duo in NFL history I may actually puke. I also know that Harrison is unlike all the other receivers in the league in that fact that he talks with his game and not his mouth, so save that as well. What may annoy me more than all the story lines being thrown at me is that everyone thinks they are an expert on who is going to win. Everyone from the casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win. The following are different reasons I have heard for why each team is going to win. The Colts' offense is too good. The Bears' defense is too good. The Colts' defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense is too inconsistent. All of that is just the build up to the game. The actual game pisses me off more than the build up. The game takes like half a day to play because there are so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be played on television. By the time the game gets to halftime we have to see an hour concert from some singer who is so washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really don't want to see the symbol, Prince, perform in the middle of a football game. If I really wanted to see Prince perform I would turn the way back machine to the 1980s. Not to mention the announcers. CBS isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still ~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer duo trying to be a couple of stand-up comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording my own commentary to the games. With all that said, I am still going to watch the game because of the Super Bowl pools and great food at the parties.

Pite^tMmi^ �Super Bowl XLI * Thoughts and predictions about the game W hy t he Chicago Bears will win BY MIKE MILLBURN Pride Staff Writer First, I feel compelled to mention the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find the fact that they are in the Super Bowl detestable. That being said, however, I believe that they will in fact handle the Colts and win their first Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1980s. The biggest factor for the Bears is the brain of quarterback Rex Grossman. While I don't doubt his arm, it is his decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the next week he'll look like former Charger vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he keeps his head in the game will go a long way towards determining a Bears win. The Bears' backs will have a big game against a suspicious Colts run defense. While the Colts' defense has played well during the playoffs, they still give up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to have a monster day. The receivers are not great, but they get the job done. Mushin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more than capable of catching the deep ball and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a run-first team, the pass game is capable of taking over a game. The Bears' offensive line is one of the best in the business, led by center Olin Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza. The Colts' defensive line has been beaten up all season by teams with dom- W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win inant O-lines, and it will happen again as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman upright for most of the game. Now to the bread and butter of the Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's front seven is only equaled in ferocity by the San Diego Chargers. While they will be without all-world defensive tackle Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks. Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this season), but they have not faced a line this good all season. Manning will have nightmares about these guys in the offseason. The three linebackers could start for any team in the league, and are the heart and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis may argue that statement. A six-time Pro Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future star in the league. The secondary has speed everywhere, starting with corners Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester, who can return the ball for a touchdown every time he touches it. Safety Danieal Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time. While the offense does just enough to get by, the defense and special teams are far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game 27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the MVP. BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE Pride Staff Writer For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back in the Super Bowl. It has been a while since their last visit back in Super Bowl V when they were the Baltiihore Colts. If you only watched the regular season you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but their defense is a big reason why they are going to win the Super Bowl. Their No. 32 ranked run defense during the regular season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 10. That defense isn't the same defense that is now in the Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games, their defense has given up 32-yards to Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93 to the plethora of runners New England trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and they just stopped three of the top eight offenses the AFC has to offer. Now from the Colts' defense to the opponent's defense. New England's defense is known throughout the NFL as being very confusing, showing different looks in order to confuse the quarterback and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't be too hard, since the Colts figured a way around New England and Baltimore. How about Rex? Rex Grossman has been in the league since 2003 but has been riddled with injuries until this year. David Church Colts 25, Bears 24 MVP; Adam Vinatieri 4-4 FG's Joshua Sandoval Bears 34, Colts 30 MVP; Rex Grossman 24-30 3 T Ds 290 yards p He is an up and coming QB in this league, but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl is just too big for an inexperienced and inconsistent QB like Grossman to come in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning when it matters most. Manning finally beat the Patriots; every single time the media dubs it the Colts' year the Patriots have been there to give them the boot. It happened in the AFC Championship game in 2003 and in the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl he was going to have to go through the Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots, is now in the big game and is ready for this moment. There is a resiliency about the Colts this year that I have never seen in previa ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the playoffs they always lose without putting up a fight. We've seen them win big in the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14 to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way they play. When it was 21-6 at the half against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it. Manning hurt his finger on his throwing hand during the gam£ and almost came out of the game. What did Manning and the Colts do? The defense held, Manning stayed in the game and led them on the eventual winning drive. With emotional leaders like Manning on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Colts are primed to win 34-24 with Manning going 20-of34 for 379 yards and 3 TD, while claiming the MVP. ^ ' ^ h ^ f ^ ^ a r ó Esperti Colts 31, Bears 21 MVP: Marvin; Harrison 8 Catphes 138 yards £ f D's m m..,.11 . - -; ^ iF February 4, 200? will brins Will have thirtf straight big game l<r WÊÊÊKKÊÊÊÊÊKÊÊÊJËmm ¡ ¡¡ili i iL g ¡¡ . your party go with m äsä t owatdui?

With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't be instant success with this bunch but the near future is bright. Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high school, his teams won 18 league titles and 8 CIF championships. When asked about the acquisition of Coach Pugh, Athletic Director Dr. Stephen Nichols said, "We are really, really lucky. Pugh's name carries weight". Nichols even went as far to say that he did "cartwheels" in his office because he immediately recognized the potential for the program to compete. Nichols, who attended Long Beach State and Ohio State, understands the impor- edge that there are some expectations in tance of having major sports such as base- this first year. ball at CSUSM.

San Marcos Blvd, a couple miles from campus. The next home game is Friday February 2 at 2p.m. If you like offense, this team should be very entertaining to watch. When asked if he had any comments to the student body, Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're here for the students. They voted for this program and we appreciate that." that. "We're basically two-deep at every position," explains Milo. "The friendly competition for playing time is helping push the players." The squad's excellent pitching staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey Preovolos. While both are very talented in their own right, Coach Milo expects them to split time throughout the season, due to the physical demands of playing the position. They're also solid at the plate - Stokes has "tremendous" power, according to Milo, and the potential to be an All-American. In fact, both players will likely be in the lineup at the same time, with the one that's not catching playing first base. Sophomore Aly Brown will be in the rotation there as well. At second base, Milo believes she has a good mix of players who are all solid defensively. Freshman Malarie Barnard will definitely see a lot of action there, and Erica Coelho figures to play second when she's not pitching. Filling the key position of shortstop will be Holly Russell and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad, is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected to bat in the middle of the lineup due to her excellent hitting potential and power. Freshman Amanda Sanchez is expected to play third. She has very good reaction time - a crucial trait to playing the hot corner. Melissa Lerno, whose .353 batting average at Palomar was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third when she's not on the mound. Coach Milo expects the outfield to be the strength of the team's defense. "As whole, they're very quick and cover a lot of ground," she says. "All our outfielders could play any position in the outfield." Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake Elsinore High's 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, Tucker's commitment this fall to giving 110% effort at all times earned her co-captain status on the Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in the field and at the plate, where the slap-hitter is expected to bat leadoff for the team. Joining Tucker as a co-captain is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal. As the only junior on the team's freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average at Los Angeles Valley College. She'll likely hit second and share time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner. Finally, right field is expected to be anchored by Elizabeth Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was Fallbrook High's Most Valuable. Offensive Player last year, and is moving to the outfield from first base. Bush, also a freshman, will see time in centerfield as well as right. Though the Cougars' inaugural team brings plenty of talent to the table, making the playoffs will be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region II of the NAIA, and will face all the powerhouse schools from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). According to Coach Milo, the biggest key to succeeding will be for players to step into leadership roles and carry the team through its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills High to catch some great softball action. The squad will lead off its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header against Vanguard University starting at noon. Admission is always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team throughout its first season! �Cou Words Courtesy of The Pride Across 1.

I'll tell you what you get, Hop Scotch, you get one heck of a funny movie. It's hard to believe that the screenplay for "Night at the Museum" was written by two men who also gave us "Reno 911!" but Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, along with director Shawn Levy, have turned out a truly great family film - so great, in fact, that I've seen it twice ~ once with friends and once with family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young or very sensitive children: there are a couple of scenes that could get pretty intense, especially for children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons. These scenes and some crude humor are what earn the movie its PG rating. In "Night at the Museum," Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced father who has a new get-rich^ quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son yet again, Larry takes a job as the new night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs play the guards who trick Larry into taking over their jobs. Larry quickly learns that, thanks to a magic Egyptian tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the exhibits from escaping without destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process. This is no small task since the museum's exhibitions read like a list of History's Most Wanted, from Neanderthals to Mongols. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan give him particular trouble as a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question, "What would happen if Roman expansion ever came up against Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and coerces Larry into responsibility and heroism. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine how "Night at the Museum" could have gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives a good performance, and Dick Van Dyke will always be one of my favorite actors. It's well worth sticking around through the credits to see their outtakes. However, Mickey Rooney steals the show as an octogenarian with a short man's complex who likes to pick fights with epithets Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox like "lunch box," "applesauce," and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night at the Museum" has a talented supporting cast. Ricky Gervais, from the British "The Office," is brilliant as the museum director. Carla Gugino plays a sweet, strong, and intelligent love interest for Larry, and Brad Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head. The exceptional acting and exciting story all but hide the film's few "What the heck?" and "Hey wait a minute!" moments. One particularly confusing scene shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't seem to have made any sense to anyone I talked to. I was also left with some serious doubts about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum. Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and the Civil War? Since when does an ostrich belong in an exhibit on African mammals? Also, why do the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks gibberish? Ultimately, however, I think these are all fun questions to debate with friends which add to the movie's humor rather than take away from its appeal.

XVII NO. 1 CFA u p i n a rms Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Monday, in the library plaza, CSUSM professors took part in informational picketing as they made their first public step against CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that read, "Stop the Ripoffs!" "Roll Back Student Fee Hikes!" "Teaching: an art, not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal: to have their voice heard and their actions acknowledged by the CSU administration, the legislator and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the sake of education on every level. As the president of the San Marcos chapter for the California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was among the 50 professors. According to Dr. Powell, professors in the CSU system are 18% behind in salary compared to professors out of state. In trying to keep up with California's cost of living without any recent significant raises in salary proposals, most professors across the CSU system have decided that they are no longer able to comply and instead, they are aiming to go on strike. "For the past 19 months, the CFA has been out of contract negotiations with the Chancellors Office," Dr. Powell said. "They refused to come back to the bargaining table." According to the CFA, in July 2005, the salary increase of CSU executives was 19.4%. The CSU faculty raise was 3.5%. Since 2002, the CSU administration and the board of trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. Additionally, there are 1,000 administrators in the CSU who earn over $100,000 each year. Most professors earn less money in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3 m Faculty/Staff I IÉ)(MH Student Learning -Conditions California Faculty"-MU psoa Association ¿ é é é Photo by Kelly Corrigan CSUSM CFA members participated in an informational picketing sending a message to Chancellor Reed. CSUSM w elcomes n ew fraternity Zeta Beta Tau BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Among the new additions to Cal State San Marcos this spring is the men's fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes of encouraging young men to become the founding fathers of the CSUSM chapter as they immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un along the way. ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is significantly the only fraternity: CSUSM has invited to become a part of the school since the initial invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and sororities Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were the first to arrive at CSUSM. For over 50 years, ZBT has been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is proud of its history but it is not a religious organization."

I've really enjoyed my past experiences with The Pride and expect nothing less f rom this coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its existence here at CSUSM, but I believe that given our limited resources (at one point we had j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has been successful in its e fforts to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive to provide the people of this campus with the essential, as well as relevant information regarding this school, while at the same time serving as a voice of the students. Not to forget our e fforts to entertain, whether it's through our "Saved By The Bell" crossword puzzle or our horoscopes f rom Ms. Moondream. All in all we hope to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect emphasized. Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r the students here at CSUSM to join in our efforts here at The Pride. I would like this paper to continue to do what it does well, but also improve on the areas where it is lacking. For example, I believe the paper has done a great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over this past semester, but now I would like for us to cover more activities within the arts department. Changes like this will occur throughout the paper, and I believe we can all benefit from your input. As we hope to put out a paper that's informative, interesting and entertaining to our readers, your thoughts and opinions are really important. By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper, we can better provide. So how about it? Lend us your thoughts at pride@csusm.edu. Alright well good luck this semester and I hope to hear from you. Jason Encabo For the rest of you, we have a lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated (CRA3500) and our new pad is really sweet, please feel f ree to come by to hang out and see what's going on. As for the Pride, Jason Encabo (our newly appointed Managing Editor) and myself are hoping to implement video stories through The Pride Online, we are even planning to showcase student work/films (again if interested: pride@csusm.edu). The Sports section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle Trembley's incredible coverage, and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and Field coverage this semester. We have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue, which hopefully you have found to be enjoyable. Also, Amanda Andreen has stepped up to become The Pride's new Feature's Editor, expect some great features stories about student life in the coming issues. All together the staff at The Pride started off fresh last semester and they have all really started to find their voice. I, for one, can't wait to see where they take the paper this semester. As for you, thank you for reading and continue to write to us. This is truly your paper and if we aren't serving you the way you would like, let Us know how we can. For now, I leave you to enjoy the rest of this issue. Summer break is almost here, the Chargers are about to d raft some more players and I have some hops and barley to consume for Beer of the Week. Your Editor, David Gatley Campus police ready for UPROAR Image courtesy of campus police Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining order p rogram. BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer A s campus police strive to accomplish their mission in preserving and protecting the working and academic environment, they have created a new program titled University Police Restraining Order and Response or UPROAR. The additional service is intended for students, s taff and f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past, members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining orders against t heir ex-husbands, e x-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused to do so, t hreatening students, s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases, the t hreats have led t o t hreats of physical assaults. W hen followed properly, a r estraining order should not p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom they d esire t o t hrough cell p hone, email or any i n-person c ontact. T he order should i mmediately h alt any f orms of verbal t hreats, h arassment or s talking. With UPROAR, campus police are extending their hand for anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order with the campus police where they will review it in discussion then keep the restraining order on file in the utmost confidentiality. I n the event that those who do not abide by the court order arrive on campus, the campus police could apply the knowledge of the physical description f rom the file when needed. Additionally, for all those who are looking to file a restraining order against someone, campus police would be able to assist them in filing the order, and point them toward the proper resources. Officer John Balos said, "As a means to b e proactive and help the community remain safe, we would like to work effectively in f orming relationships with the community to help eliminate possible crimes f rom occurring." �NEWS THE PRIDE From CFA, page 1 istrators in the CSU system have been earning in increases.

She added, "The CSU is dying. It's hard to tell because our university is growing." Many look to the CSU system as one of the best _ leading examples of quality education available to students at an affordable price. For years, it has been. But recently, without an adequate salary given to the CSU faculty to live within California's standards, the future is grim according to Dr. Powell. As a last resort in their endeavors, faculty at all 23 campuses are taking action. Another motto of the CFA is, "Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions." Recently, they've adopted a new one. "I don't want to strike, but I ^ ill." As they circled Library Plaza, the professors chanted, "What do we want? Contracts! When do been involved. The non-pledging aspect of the fraternity was a radical move to make in 1990 as it still is today. The decision to make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to eliminate hazing. The result was immediately successful. Since 1990, ZBT has received high praise and attention from vari- T he we want it? Now!" "What's it all about? Quality Education!" Never in the history of the CSU, have professors gone on strike. "At this point," Dr. Powell said, "We believe we have to stand up Tuesdayf January 23, 2007 ing how much money the CSU system has, how much money is being distributed, along with other related statistics. Once the fact finding process is finished, it becomes legal for professors to go on strike. i The faculty plans to take part in two day rolling strikes that will take place throughout the state of California. Once they go on strike, the faculty predicts that the Chancellor's office will impose a contract. There is a possibility that a professor on strike would have to cancel one of their classes when on strike. If desired, there is also a possibility that the ——— class could convene at a location off campus. Dr. Powell made it clear that for every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they are determined to send a message to the Chancellor's Office, they are equally sympathetic towards their students in not letting the strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and studies. Dr. Powell said, "We don't want to hurt our students. Our desire is to minimize the impact on [them]." Of all the f ull time tenure track professors who belong to the local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike. At the end of February, the CFA will vote whether or not they will go on strike, although it is most likely that they will. The strike would take place in the front of the school, on Twin Oaks Boulevard, at the end of March or April. "Nobody wants this to happen, Dr. Powell said, but we don't have any choice. We're in a bad place. This spring will be a tough semester." An informational strike meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 11:45 in the Clarke Field House.

FASFA becomes available during December of each year. This is when students can begin their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date is March 2nd of each year. This means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub- mitted their financial aid information before or close to that time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will still accept applications for the FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more drawn out. According to the CSUSM website (www.csusm. edu), "If you meet the March 2nd priority filing date, you improve the chances of receiving aid from all the programs for which you are eligible." Once a student applies for financial aid, CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will collaborate with the student and keep them updated on any papers or information they may need to complete the process. For example, "required documents may Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer These days it seems that there are innumerable ways to get plugged into a cause, get connected, and stay involved in the community. Yet, the avenues of how to select which organization or which cause to donate your time to f rom the hundreds if not thousands of equally worthy causes can be daunting to say the least. As college students, the need to be connected and the drive to feel like each individual makes a difference in the world is j ust as important as each of the other many extracurricular activities students have at their disposal. Idealist.org is a non-profit website hosted by the Action include copies of your last federal income tax return(s) and/or verification of untaxed income and other information reported on the FAFSA," (www.csusm.edu).

The new and improved office is on the third floor of Craven along with other helpful offices like Admissions & Recruitment, Cashiers, Enrollment Management Services, Financial Aid & Scholarship, Registration & Records, and Student Life & Leadership in the new Cougar Central. CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will help students through the entire process of applying for the FAFSA and financial aid so students can be _' nified lives."

It's not too late to sign up for FASFA, especially for the 20072008 school year, as there is over a month left for the initial filing period.

I did a lot of partying, a little bit of writing and working, a lot of lying around, and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off my beautiful locks of ham A lot of things happened over break that I was dying to comment on. I felt like the world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course, there are other outlets that my name appears in, but no place gives me more freedom than this newspaper, which I am going to dearly miss in five months when I graduate. What made me happiest to see over break was Tony Gwynn being elected into the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him play baseball, and have been lucky enough to meet him while on assignment. It's great seeing good guys get some recognition every once in a while. Along that same subject, I was very glad to see that "The Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in. What I was least shocked to see over break was the Chargers collapse in the playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson. Speaking of that article, I was most shocked over break to see that someone in the media essentially stole my column idea a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus read this paper. I was most disgusted to be a United States American when I constantly saw the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump "feud" in the headlines. I think I may be the only person left in this country who doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena fight. I was most proud to be a United States American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low, because people in this country are finally seeing that things are pretty messed up around here. I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards incident, the "Factory" banned the use of Juniors • Seniors • G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s A spiring to obtain doctorate the word that "Kramer" was lambasted for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from the club and a several month ban. As much as I don't like derogatory names, I despise censorship that much more. Hopefully that last sentence made the final cut. In December, I was most sad when I heard the news that James Brown died. I was most scared just a few days later to see his face on a billboard saying that he is scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego in late January. I felt most victorious when I heard the news that University Hour is going to be decreased to only two days a week starting in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to see the spoils of my laborious opposition to the ridiculous concept of "nap time" for college students, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I was most relieved when grades came out for last semester and I earned three A's, two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester from hell. This semester should be a lot more enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units and graduating in May. As usual, you can send me an e-mail to sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is just as controversial as all the other ones.

Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared by three young singers who call themselves the Dreamettes - Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) - and a host of other aspiring musical artists competing for grand prize at a New York talent competition. (&(£ TUesday, January 23, 2007 D ream Girl All other acts pale in comparison, however, to the Dreamettes, a fact not lost on silver-tongued car salesman Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx) who has high-reaching aspirations of his own. Taylor soon persuades the trio to sing backup for the James Brown-esque James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy), and the group embarks for the bigtime on a highway to fame - and heartbreak. Originally a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls" was adapted to the big screen with panache by director Bill Condon and an amazing cast. Beyonce Knowles stretches her golden voice and burgeoning acting muscles in the role of sweet, fresh-faced Deena Jones, coming of age in a cutthroat industry; Eddie Murphy delights as larger-than-life James "Thunder" Early, a smooth-talking singer oozing with soul and weakness for a pretty face; but the sumptuous costumes for the film. sensational songstress who stole Fans of fashion history will ooh the show, and the heart, of many and ahh over her decadent crean audience member is Jennifer ations which span the various Hudson.

I Award and for Best Costume think it is possible that television Design at the Satellite Awards. was simply the wrong medium to properly showcase the sizzling energy and breathtaking talent of this rising star. In the role of Effie Melody White, Hudson engages the audience with her vivacity, charm, and vocal intensity in each and every one of her scenes. When she finished the heart-rending "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," I and my fellow theatergoers set down our popcorn, Milk Duds and Raisinettes to properly express our sympathy and amazement. Kudos are also in order for Sharen Davis who designed the There is, in fact, only one caveat I will offer in regards to this amazing production. Do yourself a favor and see it in the theater before it goes to DVD. As in the vein of all great Hollywood musicals, this production was meant to be seen in all its glory on the big screen.

Danny Archer Amidst the height of civil war and rebel uprising, "Blood Diamond" takes place in Sierra Leone, Africa during the late 1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads audiences through a chaotic and powerful story of two African men both searching for their own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler searching for a way out of Africa, and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon Hounsou), a fisherman who loses everything as the country's lust for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen alike, and both look to the value of the diamond to save them. Playing the romantic object of Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen, searching for the underground and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived, she aptly depicts a believable and compassionate journalist, and her presence is necessary to complete DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged, African, and believable man's man. Without her, DiCaprio's performance wouldn't have been as sharp, and without DiCaprio, my experience of the film and its message would have been absolutely flat. The meat of the plot begins when Solomon Vandy's family is torn from him as "RUF" rebels (whom are mostly child soldiers) raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is spared by the commander of RUF and sent to work in the diamond Obtaining your P hD?

Enslaved to a muddy river sifting through sediments for diamonds, he stumbles upon a giant pink diamond. Realizing that hiding and burying the rock is the only he will be able to live and secure his family's survival, he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed. Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison, where Danny Archer is as well, after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra Leone border into Namibia. It is in the prison then that Vandy's secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison, and knows that Vandy had found a pink stone. Overhearing this, Archer ensures Vandy's release and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being led to the pink diamond. As war erupts and destroys the city, the two are forced to band together if they are to survive. The issues director Edward Zwick and screenplay writer Charles Leavitt address and impose upon viewers are about the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much people in A frica s uffer f rom the retrieval of diamonds for export. Equally as important, the movie o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and the life they create under the worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of unimaginable survival tactics, and the actuality of the diamond business as well as the civil war in A frica were almost too much to take for the 2 hours and 23 minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With no inhibitions about showing it like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance by DiCaprio—who definitely makes it clear that he's grown up since his "Titanic" days— "Blood Diamond" is a must see. �Tuesday, January 23, 2007 THE PRIDE Book Reviewi BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Movie Review Toöriteö m à M&^ffire: ^ ^ m W f N t a n t magica! best Several other fashion throöghoiii: stili � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Domanic Thomas, the ASI coordinatorforcampus recreation and Sara Gallegos, the ASI coordinator of student activities, and seven CSUSM students will be traveling to New Orleans during the upcoming Spring- Break to assist with the destruction created by Hurricane Katrina, / Hurricane Katrina " formed in late August durin^^flie 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Katrina mainly affected the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the hurricane also created an estimated damage of $81.2 billion and took the lives of 1,836 people. Controversy started after people became enraged at federal, state, and local governments' reactions to the aftermath of the hurricane. Kanye West responded on a news program with "George Bush does not care about black people." The former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, resigned shortly thereafter, stating it was for "The best interest of the agency and best interest of the president." Over one year has passed, and yet the damage inflicted by the hurricane has not fully been repaired. Gallegos said, "This year we will be taking a group of seven students to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.

Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride VOL. XVI NO. 15 ASIST mentors lend a hand to first generation college students BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer According to the National Center for Education Statistics, "first-generation college students r un the highest risk of dropping out of college." Luckily though, there is group at CSUSM named ASIST comprised of first-generation college students and alumni that aims at changing that statistic. Founders of ASIST formed the group to help first-generation students achieve their aspirations of attending college. Historically, high school students who do not have at least one parent with a higher education are faced with much greater difficulties when trying to make the transition from high school to the university. ASIST is a community service group that began five years ago from a simple conversation between several first generation students discussing their own difficulties with the educational system. ASIST reaches out to local high school students as mentors. It works as a big brother and big sister program that specifically helps high school students make the transition to college. The mentors of this group lend a helping hand to local high school students by making themselves available to answer any questions about college. Simultaneously, they attempt to gain the support of the student's family. The mentors share their own struggles with their college experience as they make the idea of transferring to college a less intimidating one and transform it into the idea that college is an experience of a lifetime.

Program Director Judy Papenhausen, and Registered Nurse JoAnn Daugherty along with nursing advisor Laurie Lindeneau were among many who welcomed the 43 students who make up the Spring 2007 nursing cohort. Less than 50 students have gone before them. By the means of providing care, coordinating care, teaching, and advocating, the nursing program stresses the traditional concepts of nursing, including health, person and environment. Since the program's initial beginning, CSUSM has thus far achieved a goal they will continually strive to accomplish. The program's goal is to recruit a student population which is representative of the ethnic and cul- tural diversity in the local community and to prepare students to serve the nursing needs of our culturally diverse society. During the orientation, Daugherty informed students on clinical lab requirements such as course prerequisites, heather blue scrubs, student drug screens, and nursing identification tags. She also encouraged students to join the CSUSM chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association. All nursing students are required to take an introductory course where their professors will place a strong emphasis on how See NURSING, page 2 �THE (^JPRIDE T V CIr KÌ* ¡T; HIÏM V SN MIÇi v « AT" NAÌ AI NVUl A ÂÔr f D ITORÌAL STAFF EDITOR: ÌN QHIEF DAVID GARTIY ,BUSINESS MANAGER JASON ENCABO LAYOUT EDITOR MARY FOIEY HEWS EDITOR KELLY CORRIGAN FEATURES EDITOR DAVID BAUER ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR SOPHIE BRINK ONLINE EDITOR & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER AMANDA ANDREEN ADVISOR JÓAN ANDERSON ..

The seven reasons are: to improve leadership skills, develop and strengthen friendships, see the impact the work is having on communities, learn more about poverty housing issues and how one can help, visit new areas of the country, a ffect a global cause by advocating on behalf of poverty housing issues, and help provide a simple, decent, affordable place to live for people in need. "We will be staying at Camp Hope," said Gallegos, "which is the volunteer camp. There will be other volunteer groups f rom around the country there the same time we will be there so it will be a great opportunity for our students to interact with others that share a common goal. Also we won't j ust be working the whole time; we plan f un activities for the evenings so that the students have a well-rounded trip," she explained. Students who wish to participate in ASI's Alternative Spring Break must fill out an application. The application consists of required basic information, a community service resume, and a two-page essay of intent.

They asked freshmen students in GE Oral Communication classes about the CSUSM Alumni Association; 50 freshmen completed the survey. Group members Michael Wu, Sandi Fouts, Misty Sharkey, Kristen Boggs and Amanda Perez worked together on the project from the Communications 310 class. Out of 42 students who answered the question of whether they would be interested in a student alumni association, 30 of them marked ' yes; When asked why they would be interested in the association, most replied that they would like to be a part of social activities or campus events. Out of 48 students, 36 of them didn't know what an Alumni Association was, but 31 of them marked 'yes' when asked if staying connected after they graduated was important to them. As an alum, most surveyed believed that reconnecting with former classmates and professors was important, more important than receiving special discounts and services. Interim Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, James Richardson, and the Alumni Association are working together to increase the ties between Alumni and students. "With respect to the students who said he/she did not know what an alumni association is, but who said staying connected to CSUSM after graduation is important, this is consistent with the history of CSUSM which is built on relationships at the degree program level. The challenge is to make the alumni association an additional interface between the campus and alumni after leaving the university. Before that, however, the alumni association will be taking steps to increase its presence on campus and is being encouraged to make visible 'investments' in the lives of the students. For example, last spring the association funded new banners for a number of student organizations. Each spring it participates in Grad Fest. It has for several years awarded scholarships as well." All group members were initially surprised by the results of the survey. Wu said, "I was quite surprised to see the number of responses from the-survey. I thought more students would reply since there were 600 GEO students. But Jim [Richardson] and the rest of my group took this experience as a stepping stone to f urther improve upon the survey and the number of f uture responses. I hope that Jim will be able to take this experience and implement it in the future with greater response." Having transferred to CSUSM from the University of Utah, Fouts said, "To form and maintain a stronger bond between alumni and CSUSM students, the administration needs to find a way to connect the students to this school, through athletic programs or campus clubs and student-faculty relationships i.e. mentoring, etc." Group member Perez said, "What I think the school can do to bridge the gap between alumni and CSUSM students is to offer information to students who are transferring as well as entering freshman, so that way we don't have to go out and find information, because we really don't know what this school has to offer to us. The university hour is a great way to set up a booth and advertise to students as well. If the school is excited on what they have to offer then the students will be too." All group members find that University Hour is an ideal time for clubs and organizations to use in order to make themselves known on campus by making connections with students. When speaking of the students who do not plan on graduating from CSUSM, Perez believes that the Alumni Foundation should ask what the students want. Perez added, "Getting the students involved with what the school has to offer will keep them here because they are connected and feel like they should belong and they want to belong so they stay here building our school from within. The school should get into the habit in asking what the students want, because after all, we come here so why not make it a place where we want to be, this is the idea of what we had in mind in doing this survey to get the students involved in making this an environment where they would like to be, even after they leave." Group member Sharkey transferred to CSUSM from a school in Oklahoma that had an impressive, yet older Alumni Association. Sharkey said, "I don't feel a connection. I don't know if I'll get that here." Richardson added, "The Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, in University Advancement, will be the coordinator for commencement beginning with the 2007 spring graduation. This will allow the Alumni Association to encourage graduating students to consider the benefits, networking particularly, of active participation as alumni. Additionally, there are steps underway to link alumni to recruitment and admissions efforts and to increase the number of alumni who return to campus as mentors, speakers, prospective employers, etc." From MENTORS, page 1 group, explained, "As a future teacher, I believe that obtaining an education is extremely important. However, due to economic instability or lack of support, many students are not able to acquire a proper education. Fortunately, through ASIST I have found a way to help individuals who are lacking such support and who deserve the opportunity to become educated." Research shows that first generation students are more likely to prolong the time between high school and college, or to attend college part time, putting them at a higher risk for not complete ing a degree, or lastly, not attending college at all. The National Center f or Education Statistics conducted research in correlation with the U.S. Department of Education. According to the report, "First-generation students were less likely than other students to attend college within 8 years after high school. Roughly four in 10 (43 percent) first-generation students who entered post-secondary education during this period left without a degree by 2000, while 24 percent had graduated with a bachelor's degree. The opposite pattern was observed for students whose parents were college graduates: a large majority (68 percent) had completed a bachelor's degree, while 20 percent left without a degree." High school students who are the first in their family to attend college are faced with all kinds of questions from how to apply, where to go, what major to choose Photo courtesy of ASIST A SIST advisor Bill De La Fuente stands with mentors on the Chavez stairs during their retreat last spring. and financial aid opportunities. Many times these high school students are already working f ull time, balancing sehool, work, home and a social life. According to the National Center for Education, "Choosing an undergraduate major appeared to pose a greater challenge for first-generation students than for others. One-in-three first-generation students (33 percent) had not identified a major after entering post secondary education, compared with 13 percent of students whose parents had a bachelor or advanced degree." With programs on campus such as ASIST, first-generation college Grand Theft Auto students will now have the ability to gain the support that they need to reach their goals, and to defy the statistics. As is the case with many student organizations, the students of CSUSM aspire to be active in community service. For this group of students, that means making the choice to continue the cycle of education by reaching out to fellow students and returning the valued support that they have received in their college experiences.

It was the cle for the paper, they complain first issue of the semester, and that they can't because they "don't my first thought was that I didn't have time," or that "writing is too like it. That afternoon I went to hard." To them, I say that writing the journalism class for the news- for the paper is as hard and takes paper, found out who the editors as much or little time as you want were, asked for an article assign- it to. ment and I've been writing for This semester we have writers The Pride every week since.

On the Before I go though, I'd like to give other hand, we have freelance website of the week BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Last month most CSUSM students began creating their schedules for next spring semester. Students mainly chose classes because they fulfill a requirement. Some students chose classes that fit neatly into a condensed schedule. Other students chose classes merely because they are interesting; and yet, other students chose classes because they like certain professors. Behind every CRN lies a professor. CSUSM has numerous great professors, as well as numerous awful professors. writers who are not in the class and have only written a single article during the entire semester. Both groups make valuable contributions to thé paper and both are appreciated and get something out of the experience. Experience writing for the paper is surprisingly effective in getting attention on your résumé from potential employers, and if you'd like, if you invest enough time in the paper you can get class or internship credit. Newspaper writing is also surprisingly easy. The Pride has excellent Editors and Copy Editors who can help with picking a topic, writing the article allows students to add a comment after each rating to create a more in depth review. Currently the website has over 6,200,000 reviews, more than 770,000 rated professors, and over 6,000 schools listed. The website was created in 1999. "Every semester, millions of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations," says the site's president and founder, John Swapceinski. The website also has a general discussion forum and a list of the t op 20 funniest comments about professors. The current funniest comment is: "You can't cheat in Syposium for Global Studies A Global Studies symposium took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 28th and 29th, to promote campus awareness of the importance of global a ffairs and to get students aware of the Global Studies Program. This was the second symposium that the Global Studies Program has sponsored in two years. Eight students participated in the symposium by giving their views on certain topics dealing with the Global Studies minor. Next semester Dr. Kim Quinney, Dr. Vicki Golich and Dr. Scott Greenwood will be teaching the new class that the symposium was also advertising. Professor Greenwood was kind enough to tell us more about this soon-to-be major and newly updated minor. "The Global Studies minor began Fall of 2005 and was revised in Fall 2006 to include new interdisciplinary core course for the minor and future major: GBST 300! The title of Global Studies 300 is 'Global Economics, Politics, and Society, and will be offered spring 2007." The team-teaching tactic for next semester is to help students learn about the process of globalization from a variety of perspectives. The new class will "analyze globalization as a historical process and explore how it is shaping human cultures, economics, and politics." For the students who are going to minor in Global Studies, this GBST 300 course is required and is also required for the Global studies majors. "The Global Studies major is projected to begin in Fall of steps on campus, you can do it. Some students say that they won't write for The Pride, because they "don't like it"; to them I say that is the best reason to write for the newspaper of all. The Pride newspaper is a student newspaper. If you don't like it, if you think it's bad, you can write an article and make it better. When I read that first issue of The Pride a year ago, I didn't like it either. Hopefully through my work as a writer and as an editor, I've helped to make it a better paper in some way. If not, you can do it for me—write something better than I ever could. That's my advice to you. Ratemyprofessor.com One way to distinguish the great professors from the not as great professors is to visit RateMyProfessors.com. The website allows students to anonymously rate their professors. The ratings are then compiled and are available to all registered users. Students can search be either school name or a professor's name. The website contains six ratings for each professor. The ratings are, number of ratings, average helpfulness, average easiness, average clarity, and overall quality. The website has a sixth rating for hotness as a f un category. The ratings are derived from a one to five scale. The website also BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer and will polish it for you before it gets published to make sure it looks great. Writing for The Pride is also fun. Personally, I don't have any particular love for writing just for writing's sake. But I enjoy writing for the newspaper because it's always an open ended assignment. No matter what the subject, what ever you're interested in can potentially be made into a newspaper article. Whether you want to do investigative journalism and expose corruption of local politicians, or write about a concert you enjoyed, or just write an opinion piece about the excessive number 2008," Dr. Greenwood explained. The first day of the symposium took place in UNIV 443 and four students participated in the Individual Paper Panel. Those students and their topics were: Robert Carrier,"ReligionasaCopingMechanismfor Female Workers in Mexico"; Martin Gala, "United States Foreign Policy and Nuclear Strategy: The Impact of 9/11"; Sandra Gotlaufa, "Why Do Citizens of West European Countries Vote For Extreme Right-Wing Parties?"; and Amanda Hanson with "The United States and Sweden: A comparative Study of Health Care Systems." The Best Paper Award was won by Ms. Sandra Gotlaufa who has a major in Political Science and a minor in Global Studies. The second day was made up of four students discussing the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the students of which are in currently enrolled in PSCI 364B Arab-Israel Conflict: 1948 to the present. These perspectives were given in ARTS 240 by Rawan Ayyash with the view from Israel, John Brohamer with the Iranian Perspective, Amanda Hanson with the Hezbollah angle, and Jonathan Hunter with the perspective of the Bush Administration. Approximately 60 students and faculty showed up to the Global Studies Symposium. Just like this year, next year's symposium will be to promote i nteresfin Global Studies, its classes, the major and minor, and to let students share their own research with the campus community. For those who would like to attend this event next time, the next symposium will take place in the 2007-2008 school year.

That is why many athletes will only do interviews if they are allowed to promote their sponsors. It's really impressive and heartwarming that a boxer the caliber of Manny Pacquiao was promoting educatioñ across his chest rather than the newest casino or the latest feature film. The sweatshirt was given to Pacquiao as a gift from a CSUSM student, and was seen on television across the world. I personally don't know Pacquiao but the fact that he would rather promote education than some cereal really shows me a lot about what kind of person he is. The accompanying pictures were taken from "TV Patrol" on the Filipino channel. The woman sitting next to him is Diane Castillejo and the interview took place on November 20. During the interview, he was asked questions about his victory over Erik Morales at the Thomas and Mack Center at UNLV. The fight was a battle of two heroes from their respective nations, which resulted in several Filipino and Mexican politicians to attend the match.

Michael Richards and the media's 'comedic' hypocrisy BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist "If you don't like what I have to say, then don't listen to me." That is what comedian Michael Richards, better known as "Kramer." should have said to the African-American hecklers in the now infamous incident. That is what I say to people who berate me about something I've written. Right off the bat, I can guarantee most of you aren't going to like what I am about to say, so go ahead and start your e-mail, but I will simply point to my lead sentence for my sentiments on your criticism. For those of you who may not be aware of this story, Richards shouted racial slurs towards two black men who were heckling him and talking aloud towards one another during a show. When I first heard this story, I knew one thing for sure; every media outlet in the world would be uneducated about the world of stand-up comedy. Luckily for you, I have been around comedians my whole life, since my Uncle is a comedian, which has allowed me a pass into the comedy world. Richards was performing at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset strip in Hollywood. One thing about that club is that it's notorious for hecklers, so when I heard it was at the Factory I wasn't shocked one bit. Most clubs don't tolerate hecklers the way the Factory does. The two men who were heckling were sitting in balcony stage left. In that club you are basically guaranteed to have a heckler in the balcony, because people think they are far enough away from the show to have a personal conversation, even though they are only 15-feet from the stage. Let me remind you, I am not defending Richards at all. As you may know by now, I am very outspoken when it comes to social injustices. On that note, the tape of Richards doesn't even rank on the top 25 list of the most racially insensitive comments I have heard while around comedians, whether on stage or in the green room. The only thing that happened here is that the media chose to r un this story. Someone brought up the point to me that Richards was unlucky to be taped on stage. Well, something you may not realize about clubs like the Factory is that every comedian who steps on that stage is being taped, whether it's by the house or by someone in the audience. Once again, the media chose to r un this story. Go to any club at any time and you will see a similar incident. Another thing that the media did, which is just ludicrous, is that they made this news on Mcyiday, November 20 when it really happened on Friday, November 17. Our society picks and chooses who we want to lambaste and when we want to do i t In the same week that "Kramer" was being cooked for racial slurs, Sacha Baron Cohen had the number one "movie" in the U.S. with "Borat", which is one of the most racially insensitive "films" I have ever seen. If you are going to throw a stone at one person for something stupid, then you need a boulder for the rest of this world. Take Chris Rock for example. I think the guy is a comedic genius, but how is he any different than Richards when he goes to some town in Tennessee and calls audience members a derogatory white name? It is not alright for any comedian of any race to go on stage and call another person of an opposite race a derogatory name. It's also not right for two people of the same race to call one another racially negative names. Now, I must relate this to sports, since this is supposed to be a sports column. Someone brought up the point,. "Well how is this any different from when an athlete gets heckled? They don't react with a racial slur." First off, go stand on a sideline of any major sporting event and you will hear something similar to what Richards said. Secondly, a comedian is the one with a mic, which means that he is the guy who has the right to talk. If you are an audience member at a club, the other people in the audience aren't there to hear you talk. If you are at a game, you are given the right to boo and talk when you buy that ticket. You aren't deemed that right at a club, so let's not forget that the two audience members are also at fault for the incident. For years now, racism has been allowed to hide behind comedy. It will continue to stay that way, because in one week the media will stop telling you to think about "Kramer." It happens all the time. Bill Parcells, the Dallas Cowboys coach, used a derogatory term towards people of Japanese descent, and a week later it was forgotten. Peyton Manning sexually harassed a woman in college. How many of you sports fans remember that story? That's because the media chose not to cover that story in depth. I really don't have one general point. I have a bunch of scattered frustrations with the hypocrisy of the way this world operates. I am frustrated with the racism that is prevalent in this world. I am f rustrated with audiences who lack mutual respect for the person with a mic or pen. I am frustrated with the media telling the public what, when, and who is relevant to throw daggers at.

A fter a long semester of cold nights of studying, and long days of classes, we all deserve the best reward for our hard work, and that reward is Miller High Life. The label itself is awe inspiring: the proud Miller logo with its swooping underline on the top of the label, and proudly and boldly below, golden letters proclaim "HIGH LIFE"—as if the beer is announcing your arrival to a new luxurious life of delicious beer flavor. Under the name is scrawled in an elegant cursive font, "The Champagne of Beers," signifying that it is signed and guaranteed to be the best. Miller High Life is not available at just any establishment. In fact, Miller High Life is not served at many establishments on account of it not being available on draft. But it is readily available at liquor and grocery stores, generally towards the back of the store, bottom shelf of the cooler, down and to the left between the Mickey's and Steel Reserve. It is a bit expensive, with a 40 oz. generally costing between $1.60 to $2.25, compared to other 40 oz. beers and malt liquors such as Country Club and Bud Ice which run between $1.10 and $2.00. But it is well worth the extra fifty cents to live the high life. High Life comes in a variety of sizes, 16 and 24 oz. cans, 12, 22, 32 and 40 oz. bottles. Many enjoy pilsner beers in special pilsner glasses; however, f requent drinkers of Miller High Life all know that "The Champagne of Beers" is best enjoyed from the bottle, preferably of the 32 or 40 oz. variety. To prevent your hands from warming the beer, which generally alters the flavor and aroma of the beer, it is typical to use the bag that is given to you by the liquor store as a single use beer cozy. While High Life is slightly low on alcohol content for a pilsner at 4.7% ABV, it makes up for it in taste. In 2002 at the World Beer Cup, Miller High Life won the gold medal in "Americanstyle Lagers" against 17 other contestants. It has a rich golden color and a frothy head with good retention. It has a distinct lack of smell and goes down smooth, provided it stays cold. If allowed to warm, the 'Champagne of Beers" spouts a bouquet of corn adjunct and yeast smells, becomes increasingly difficult to drink, and sometimes causes inexplicable headaches in some drinkers. It has a uniform and simple mouth-feel and tastes sweet, with slightly spicy hops and strong corn adjuncts. Originally brewed in 1903, Miller High Life has an over 100 year tradition of providing only the finest to distinguished drinkers. In just a few weeks we will get a chance to toast the New Year and say goodbye to the last. Do it in style, and become part of the distinguished tradition, with a 40 of the "champagne of beers." Drink of the week: Searching for the perfect peppermint potable {Peppermint Montini BY BRANDIBLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer A hh... the crisp winter air, aisle after aisle of tree ornaments, and the decadent glow of over-decorated houses. 'Tis the holiday season and a time for joy. One of my greatest joys is found in the sweet and refreshing peppermint flavor that flowers in the frosty, wintry season. But how exactly does one incorporate this tasty temptation into a quick and easy party drink? Soothe your Christmas spirit with the Perfect Peppermint Martini. Rest assured this was n o easy task, finding the perfect holiday martini. Peppermint schnapps was an easy enough choice, but what to use for a foundation? The spicy, party-friendly white rum? The flavorful and potent Tanqueray? Perhaps a more mild gin, like the delicate and sophisticated Bombay Sapphire, or the always faithful and flavorless-in-a-wonderful-way vodka? Well it was no easy task (no, seriously, four martinis is no easy task), but we tested and tried each to find r our favorite. White rum seemed a valid enough choice. It's rather beach-appropriate and, given the San Diego climate, might have made a nice "Christmas in SoCal" cocktail. Be glad we tested this one for you, and save your rum for summer fun. It was by far the only combination which left us asking, "What peppermint?" Next we tried the gins. Being a martini lover myself, I have a fondness and bias towards Tanqueray. But our cocktail was overpowered by the flavor and tang of this gin which battered the peppermint into a bitter aftertaste. Our next choice was Bombay Sapphire, a gin so delicious and delicate it could confidently sit in a glass by itself. This combination won my favor and a listing in the recipe below. The peppermint schnapps was neither overpowered nor overpowering; instead, the herbal infusion which makes this gin so special complimented the icy mint flavor of the schnapps and the whole drink went down smoothly. The vodka, an obvious choice, won favor with my husband but was not the favorite. Here i Obtaining your PhD? our icy cocktail was—I hesitate to say it—too peppermint-y, offering nothing to compliment the schnapps. Now I realize that you might be asking why we didn't get our hands on some crème de menthe. Simple: this is not a liqueur I stock in my cupboard at home because every drink it's paired with has a minimum of three ingredients. If you've ever played hostess, and 'tis the season, you know what a pain these elaborate concoctions can be on your time, wallet, and kitchen. With that in mind, I aimed to create a simple, affordable cocktail that was easy to replicate and, frankly, didn't use anything as sissy as crème de menthe. To make your own Perfect Peppermint Martini, pour 1.5 ounce peppermint schnapps over ice in a martini shaker. Next, pour 1.5 ounce Bombay Sapphire gin into shaker. Shake, pour into a martini glass, and serve. But 1ng your m artinis at your next holiday soiree? Garnish your cocktail with peppermint mints or candy canes. It's not just festive, but f un too. Whoever lets their drink turn pink first loses!

Records It's too bad the volume knob in my car doesn't go any higher. "Louder Now" could not be any more appropriately titled. This release from TBS is the perfect companion for a brutal workout session or some much needed alone time that requires anger management therapy. I suppose "MakeDamnSure" is my favorite track off "Louder Now," as it is the reason why I picked up the album in the first place, but every track on the 11-track disc is absolutely killer. TBS doesn't miss a beat on this release, from the final snap of the snare down to the precise guitar lines and passionate screaming, every second of "Louder Now" is ridiculously perfect and thoroughly energizing. 2 . Regina Spektor ladies, Hut this time Justin is no boy; he's a man, and man does he bring the heat in his provocative, seductive, sexy, • and downright scandalous songs. "Future Sex / Love Sounds" will get your heart beating fast within the first few seconds of the album's title track opener. Followed by "SexyBack" and "Sexy Ladies," have no fear; there is plenty of 'sex' to go around on this love-filled record. 4 . Snow Patrol Eyes Open A & M Records It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core—and run away with it. Show Patrol does no less, and yet, much more than that. From Ireland of all places, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths and aptitude for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Empowered with the ability to leave listeners speechless and simultaneously bursting at the seams with incredible emotional realizations, "Eyes Open" demands not only your ears, but also your soul, and every ounce of your physical being. Begin to Hope Sire Records Regina you smitten devil, you! For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Regina Spektor, she is purely magical. In my opinion, Regina Spektor's "Begin to Hope" is the best female record of 2006 from any and all genres, hands down. Not only does her story-telling style of writing 5 . The Format songs inspire a feverish fire deep inside of Dog Problems me, but her delicate and minimalist vocal The Vanity Label prowess is just as exquisite.

Rascal Flatts Me and My Gang Lyric Street Records There is nothing sadder than the lovesick themes and depressing life experiences that gush from through the plastic wrapper of Rascal Flatts' 2006 release, "Me and My Gang." So sad in fact that I can't help but love every second of it. Call it cruel, call it painful, call it whatever you like, but the fact of the matter is that Rascal Flatts' style appeals to a younger demographic of country fans, and I am one of them. By way of the numerous singles off "Me and My Gang," like "What Hurts the Most," "My Wish," and the title track, their latest album has the potential to be their greatest thus far. In addition to "Me and My Gang," Rascal Flatts also had a number one single, "Life is a Highway," from the animated film "Cars" this past year. When it comes down to it, "Me and My Gang" is all about friendship: the friendship of band mates, the friendship between the band and fans, and the friendship with the rating charts. 7 . The Wreckers Stand Still, Look Pretty Maverick Records Pretty they are indeed. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp are no ordinary musicians; they are beautiful and incredibly talented country rockers. With the dreamy looks and catchy hooks, there is no denying that The Wreckers would have any problems wrecking the country gals and hardcore femmes that stood in their way this past year on the Billboard charts. As the songs on "Stand Still, Look Pretty" range from cool and collected to brash and twangy, this duo successfully breeds quality songs that celebrate our nation's country roots with a rock 'n roll flare in one polished, f un, and down-to-earth album. 8 . People in Planes As Far A s the Eye Can See Wind-up Records The members of People in Planes may be weird, but they know how to rock like no others. Hailing from the British mother ship, these sizzling rockers can only be taken seriously when one has the opportunity to witness their mind-blowing, indescribable live show. Splashes of paranoia line their lyrics and graphic imagery, mimicking airplanes and travel, setting the stage f or^ pseudo-hallucinogenic rock experience that doesn'tcompare to any ^•¡•••Ri^ other e arthly experience. Attracting comparisons to Muse, Supergrass, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, A1 Kooper and Radiohead, the boys of People in Planes mean business. Strutting their guitar-laden, leather-pantswearing, beer-drinking, grungy-bass-linedancing, abusive-electric-rhythm-looping, and seductive-vocal-attack of the technojazz-swaying-legendary-rock-overdosekind, People in Planes' "As Far as the Eye Can See" is definitely an album you're not going to want to miss out on. y . John Legend Once Again Sony Records John Legend might just be the perfect man. He knows all the right things to say, and just when to say them. His colorful and vibrant style paired with simple rhythms and his seductive voice are all the right ingredients for a successful album. Songs like "Stereo," "Save Room," "Each Day Gets Better," and "Maxine" are emotionally coercive and pleasantly haunting. John Legend has done it again, and I can't stop listening to "Once Again" as the perfect man has once again created the perfect album. 1 0 • Margot and the Nuclear So & So'st The Dust of Retreat Artemis Records With striking prose and sounds that drive to the core of emotion, this Indianapolis band does everything right on "The Dust of Retreat" with their savvy chords and "I know we're good, that's why we do what we do," attitude. With a roster as long as their name, the eight members of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's put forth a deliciously garnered album, lush with imagery .of the wild, childhood nostalgia, vampires, the sea, cats, mice, betrayal, drugs, and passion; much of the imagery serves as metaphors for their lives and encounters no doubt and is potent to say the least. A collection of 12 sturdy tracks, each with its own forlorn tone and a catalog of instruments into the dozens—a few of which include "meows," steel lap, banjoes, synths, guitars and percussion— the Margot's most certainly have enough ammo to make it to the next battle. Photo Illustration by Mary Foley/ The Pride �The Pride sits down withAtreyu's guitarist Atreyu l ive at IICI BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Victory Records November 18 was a night many Atreyu fans will never forget. Atreyu headlined their mini tour with a few other rock bands. UC Irvine was lucky enough to host them on this Saturday night. And I was lucky enough to be able to interview Atreyu's guitarist, Travis Miguel, before the show. The night started off inside the tour bus with Travis, other band members, and family. Irvine is Atreyu's hometown, so it was a big show for family and friends. When I asked Travis what got him started in the band, he chuckled a bit at the-question and told me, "I actually worked with our singer at Hot Topic. He came up to me one day and he was like, 'Yeah, my band needs a guitar player. Do you want to come by and maybe jam a few songs?' As everybody was leaving, we were like, 'Alright, I'll see you next Sunday,' and I said 'Okay, cool.' Next thing you know I'm signing a record contract. And then it all went from there." When I asked Travis if he ever thought he'd be where he was now, he answered, "No, not in a million years. I mean we've all been fans of music and we've all been in bands. It was all just for f un to begin with. Then Victory came knocking on our door, and for us that was a huge d eal When we first recorded a demo and sent it out, we didn't even bother sending it to Victory because that was so far off the radar. We grew up listening to all the Victory bands like Snap Case, Blood Line, and stuff like that. I remember getting a call from Alex saying 'Dude, Victory Records is really interested in us.' And I was like 'are you kidding m e?'" Travis was a lot like most college students here at GSU San Marcos. He was 21 and getting ready to finish school. He was attending California State University Fullerton and had one semester left. That's when his band member informed him of Victory's interest. Travis didn't just drop school and go live the rock star life, however. He admitted that he was "really torn" and "didn't know what to do." Travis told me how he made his decision t o leave school: "Should I attempt to live this far fetched dream or should I do the more responsible thing and finish school? I actually asked my parents what to do. They were like, 'You know this opportunity is not going to present itself probably ever again. So you may as well just go with it. School is always going to be there.'" I asked him if he'd ever want to go back to school. "My mom really wants me to," he answered. "But then again i t has been so long the requirements for graduating have probably changed. But so far I haven't had to worry about that. I'm sure one day I will. We take everything in stride and we know this isn't going to last forever." All the fans always want to know what got their band or favorite band member started in music. So, I asked Travis what got him interested in music. "Honestly I was 11 or 12 and I saw the video 'One* by Metallica, and that was the first time I'd ever seen double bass of music that aggressive. That's what sparked my interest in music. My sisters' boyfriend at the time knew a lot about music and he passed that knowledge onto me. He taught me the bass line to 'Wild Thing.' I couldn't even hold the thing up, the bass itself. I was so small and it was so big. It kept creeping down my lap. Then I picked up the guitar and started taking lessons. Now here I am playing to a couple thousand kids each night. It's pretty damn cool." To sum up the interview before the show started I asked Travis if there was anything he wanted to say to the students of CSUSM. "I don't want to say live each day like it's your last; everybody says that. [But] it's true. Take advantage of the opportunities you have. Don't be afraid to take risks, but weigh your options. Don't just go into anything blindly. Have f un because we only live on this planet once." Not only was the interview very interesting but so was the show. Before Atreyu even started playing the crowd was screaming for music. Lights of all colors flashed randomly onto the crowd. The dimly lit UCI Bren Center soon rumbled with music. Atreyu played songs in what seemed t o'be no particular order but covered all the different albums they have. The main singer got the crowd to sing along, and the drummer, who also sings, got the crowd to sing parts he wouldn't. Atreyu kept the crowd going and kept moving around the stage. There was so such thing as a dull moment at this concert. But sadly, like all things, the concert had to come to an end. And it did with a song I'd never thought I'd hear a band like Atreyu play: "You give love a bad name." The singer started to sing the classic Bon Jovi song and hit each note perfectly. The crowd went wild, Photos by Amanda Rutherford / The Pride though it was hard to believe they cctold get any crazier. There was never a second where some person wasn't running back to the mosh p S because they got passed over the line and needed to go around the seats to get back to the center of the building. The way to the parking lot was f ull of excitement even after the concert, and for the people who attended it was a concert they would never forget. Book review: "Fairest" BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Gail Carson Levine is the author of the Newberry Honor book "Ella Enchanted," which was made into a movie starring Anne Hathaway in 2004. Levine's latest book for children, "Fairest," is a loose; sequel t o "Ella Enchanted," but it also stands- on its own just fine. "Fairest" is an adaptation of the story "Snow White," toM in L eyjn^s own special style; Although it is well written and engaging, put of all of Levine'^fairy tale adaptations, it's not my absolute favorite. It lacks some o fthe dramatic tension that makes Levinels othesr books the page-turners they are, and the character development isn't always very convincing. In spite of its small shortcomings, "Fairest" stands out as more than just a good book because Levine is doing more than just telling a story. What seems o n. the surface to be a frivolous piece of teeny bopper fiction actually packs some very interesting and positive messages. "Fairest" is set in the same world as "Ella Enchanted," but takes place in the neighboring kingdom of Ayortha, where singing and music are the most important parts of the culture. Levine's version of Snow White is a girl named Aza. Aza is not a princess and certainly not beautiful. Like Snow White, she has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as night, but freakishly so. She is very tall and very wide, but she can also sing more beautifully than anyone else in the kingdom. When Aza is invited to the king's wedding, she meets and befriends Levine's version of the wicked queen, an impossibly beautiful young girl named Ivi. Soon the vain new queen discovers that Aza has a special talent and decides to use it for her own benefit. At first, Aza believes she is doing no harm by helping the queen, but when the king is injured and the queen takes over the throne, Aza finds herself trapped in a dangerous deception that could destroy the whole kingdom. From there the story follows your standard Snow White plot. There's a handsome prince, a magic mirror, and a poisoned apple. If you've seen the Disney movie or read the Brothers Grimm, you'll know how it all goes down. But as I said before, it's the message, not the plot, which makes this book special. One intriguing theme is respect for other cultures. As a wicked queen, Ivi's greatest transgression is not cruelty or murder. It is disrespecting the culture of her subjects. When she first becomes queen she refuses to participate in the singing rituals of her adopted country. When finally she does, it is with disdain. She constantly makes it clear that she thinks her new country is inferior, and Levine makes her attempts to abolish Ayorthan culture, the ultimate cause of her downfall. Levine's strongest message is about the unimportance of physical appearance. I love fairy tales, but I hate the traditional fairy tale heroine - beautiful, passive, silent, and helpless. That's why I love Levine. Aza is a true heroine, but she is also a real young girl. She's horribly aware of what the standards of beauty are in her society. She believes that she is ugly and offensive to everyone around her, but she is really very kind, loyal, brave, and talented—traits that earn her love and respect. When she realizes that the queen's beautiful face hides a self-centered heart, she learns to see herself as her loved-ones do, and her happily-ever-after ending is not becoming beautiful, but gaining selfconfidence and self-respect. Most fairy tales are written t o reinforce the social order of their time, but Levine has taken the genre and turned its purpose around. Her ideas about good and evil are not always what you would expect and she uses love and patriotism in some uncon- Image courtesy of www.harpercollinschildrens.com ventional ways. In short, there's enough there to keep an adult reader j ust as interested as a teenage girl. It would make a good addition t0 a classroom library. Or if you have a thirteen-year-old girl on your g ift list, or are j ust hiding one somewhere in your heart, "Fairest" is a great Christmas present that you can give with a good conscience. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Roughly 1,500 students and faculty from numerous CSU schools joined forces in front of Dumke Auditorium at CSULB midday in hopes of expressing student and faculty concerns about the lack of pay increase for faculty over the past 18 months and the possible 10% tuition increase facing students in the proposed 2007-2008 budget.

Currently ASI has the charge of representing the will of the students; The Pride wants to make sure they do so accurately.

Professors Jodi Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its beginning stages on campus and it aims to expose the inequality of prisoners in women's prisons. In 1995 the California Coalition for Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women in prison. Since 1999, Lawston has been involved with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women in prison, social justice movements, and resistance to oppression within the prison system. According to Lawston, nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most of the women were in their 30s or 40s and died from such illnesses as asthma attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of these women lived and suffered with the illnesses without knowing they were ill. After their deaths, officials found that the illnesses were explicitly stated in their files and that they had been denied of proper medical treatment. Following this situation, the legislator decided that something had to be done, but until this day, nothing has been accomplished in forwarding a better health system for women in prison. When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are an isolated group of people, they're not heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea is that people in prison did something wrong so they deserved to be punished." Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to poor medical care." The improper treatment of women in Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the California Coalition for Women Prisons. Lawston says, "We are striving to raise awareness of the major problems and human rights violations that occur in the criminal justice system everyday; from racial profiling to the lack of adequate medical care. Like the mission statement of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live, and advocate for positive changes." Recently, a young woman, whose identity is being withheld in respect to her family, died in the Vista Detention Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was arrested and sent to the Vista Detention Center. Once in jail, she communicated with her family and told them she was receiving a blood test because she was suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health, she was confined to a medical cell. The guard on watch could see her through the window in the door. Two days later, she began to hyperventilate. A few hours later, it appeared that she was sleeping in her bed. A few hours before she was pronounced dead, she was seen lying on thefloorof her cell. When her family met with the medical examiner, the examiner told the family that the result of her death would have to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does not know the cause of her death. In remembrance for her death, the CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the vigil on December 2 at noon in front of the Vista Detention Center. Lawston says, "This made us realize that little work was being done in North County around prison abuse, and we have Vista and The California Institute for Women right in our backyards. We also have many students who have family or friends in prison. We wanted to raise awareness of this recent death, and on a larger scale, the abuses that go on in the prison system all the time." During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP will be handing outflowersand lighting candles in her honor, and they will also present her family with flowers. Guest speakers will discuss the healthcare crisis in California's prisons and jails. Lawston says, "The knowledge that will be gained from this vigil is important because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens, reflects who we are as a society." !"

From CIA SEMINAR, page 1 stitutes a large number of CIA employees. This massive shortage in the CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new opportunities for the CIA. The CIA travels to campuses across the nation in hopes of hiring young, mature college students. The speakers for the seminar were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for the Clandestine Service of the CIA, and Michael Mow, who is head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA. "The primary mission of the CIA is to collect, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the President and Senior U.S. government policymakers in making decisions for national security. The CIA is not a law enforcement agency and the CIA does not make foreign policy," stated Dorcy who wanted to clearly communicate the purpose of the CIA. Throughout the seminar a few key points were stressed by both Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity, maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S. or in Langley Virginia where the CIA Headquarters are located, and they are looking for students with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari, and Pashto. The CIA offers a summer internship for third year college students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months prior to entering the program and must be at least 21 years of age. Students who currently want to enter the internship have already passed the November 1 Coordinator at Cal Poly Pomona's Counseling and Psychological Services, Herzog 4s also highly trained in addressing sensitive awareness about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. An advocate for LGBT persons, Dr. Herzog's latest book is entitled, "GET OUT!" which deals with the sensitivity of the coming out process. In addition to the Human Development Research Conference, there will be a free preconference Mock-GRE event happening on December 2, sponsored by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. The Mock-GRE will be held in Commons 206. Checkin time is 9:45 a.m., testing from 10:00 a.m;-12:00 p.m. and the results will be given back at the Human Development Research Conference during the Kaplan session.

Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have appeared in anthologies such as "What Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect: Bush's War on Womenl" She founded Women In Media & News in 2001 and is the organizer of the National Feminist Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier is also involved in many other feminist organizations and acts as a media critic regularly. Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a mission to reveal what she felt may have been hidden from the citizens of our nation as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina during its occurrence, as well as its affect one year later. She opened the discussion with a reference to the New York Times headline on the day of Katrina's one year anniversary, which read "A Year After Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image." Her fighting position about a bias media deadline and will have to wait until next fall semester to apply. The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an entering CIA agent. To enter the program, all students must apply online at the CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a success then the CIA will send out a packet to the student. The packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial forms and health documents. If the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA will then conduct a polygraph test along with a physical and psychological evaluation. Mow said, "You must not have tried an illegal drug within one year and not have a history of financial irresponsibility," Mow suggested a few things for the is first recognized in her concern of those ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but were so easily disregarded due to a priority in the seemingly more important affect in politics. "Notice, there's no word from the times, by the way, as to whether the victims have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she further stated her case that the victims of Katrina have not received due recognition for their suffering. Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial controversy that our society has always seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures from past articles during the hurricane;' questioning why "Blacks were said to have 'stolen food' from abandoned places whereas whites were said to have 'found food,' though it was the same'concept." She also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments, not only on race, but gender and politics as well. She then concluded her message with possible solutions that should, or can be taken, with high hopes that someday these solutions may just be put to the test; if only media would serve what she felt was proper and adequate information to the people at large. Pozner commented that CSUSM was one of the first campuses in a year to be willing to hold a discussion of such a controversial topic as is the media's take on Hurricane Katrina and politics in America. online application. "Take your time when filling out the application, copy and save your information because you will not be able to edit your information later on. The objective box which we read first is the last question on the application so make sure you fill this out thoroughly. Mention that you attended the CSUSM CIA seminar. Explain why you want to work for the CIA and why you feel you are competitive," said Mow. A career in the CIA has great benefits such as a 401K savings plan, a credit union, a work and family center, a child care center, annual and sick leave, life insurance, alternative retirement system, and great travel opportunities. Entering CIA agents can earn between $47,000—70,000 a year. Sign on bonuses can be up to $30,000 for people with specific foreign languages such as Arabic. All relocation costs are paid for by the CIA. Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with the CIA outside the U.S., moving every three to four years. When asked by a student if CIA agents were allowed to have families, Dorcy answered, "Of course, 80% of the CIA has married; your family will be moved with you, your children will always attend the best schools, and your housing and living costs will always be paid for." Another student asked when they should start the application process. Both Dorcy and Mow responded simultaneously, "Now!"

A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne in what is questionably University Village Apartments was submitted to UVA staff. This picture would later find those in it in violation of UVA's alcohol paraphernalia code. According to the involved parties, on the night they were drinking at the UVA, no incident report was made by any resident advisor, nor was there any form of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member. Twelve days later, the involved parties all received a strike from UVA Resident Director Ryan McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned in anonymously. With two more strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA. Also according to the parties involved, on October 13 each received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a package" at the front desk. The same flyer all UVA residents receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive the package they must go to the front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front desk to receive the package, they were informed there was no package and were all given a strike notice instead. When asked why residents received this particular flyer before they received the strike notice, McRae said, u We want to make sure the residents receive the notice." McRae described how last year the UVA staff would deliver the strike notices to the residents' apartments but when that particular resident wasn't home, the strike notice would never leave the hands of his or her roommate. "On the back of my letter was a black and white picture of me and my roommate and our friend holding a bottle of champagne. We weren't drinking [from] it; my friend was just holding it in [their] hand. My roommates a ll.

Shortly after receiving the strike notices, a meeting with the UVA Resident Director was scheduled. Each of the residents held pending strikes against them and were told that they needed to schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the meeting, they were told that the source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the meeting, we all admitted that we had been drinking and we each received one alcohol strike." McRae said, "Sometimes we get envelopes in our box marked UVA and we won't know what it is till we open it. It's always from residents who choose to remain anonymous." McRae described that especially last year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other resident's photographs found on Myspace or Facebook accounts. " I would hate for students to lose an opportunity with a career to pictures on their Myspace or Facebook, pictures they wouldn't want to see out there." The undisclosed resident received a strike because they were underage and drank alcohol on UVA property. McRae says, "When the photograph captures a resident breaking UVA policy, then they will receive a strike. It works the same way if we see a picture of someone climbing out of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill them." All resident's who receive a strike regarding alcohol must attend one alcohol class. The parties in mention received a strike because they were underage and they broke the policy stated in the UVA handbook. Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and Paraphernalia section of the UVA handbook, it reads, "We do not search for images of residents drinking, but digital images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if it occurs on UVA property." The undisclosed resident also received a flyer addressing the alcohol class. The flyer is titled Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building. Bring a piece of paper and a pen. Good times. If you can't make it, you will need to write a 6 page paper on "The Dangers of Binge Drinking on College Campuses. See you there!" Below the text is an image of what looks to be an intoxicated man holding a bottle of alcohol. "This letter was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation," said the resident. When asked . about the flyer, McRae said, "I want to be fun about it. I know college kids drink. I get that. But this class isn't like traffic school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making healthy choices that won't have a negative impact on education. During the alcohol meetings^? residents share their experiences with each other. McRae says, "Students will learn from each other more than they'll learn from me." The resident also commented that "This doesn't make me want to live in the UVA again because I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and experiencing new things, I feel like I'm being babysat and every single thing we do is subject to punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to Prominence every weekend, that the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so they resort to going somewhere else where they feel they won't get in trouble." What i of protestors Armed with signs reading "Reed, Reed, give the people what they need" for example, the large gathering of CSU members took to the streets of Long Beach as a smaller group of enthusiasts entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for CSU executives and the allocation of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts for all faculty and CSU staff in the future. Without being able to carry out their meeting, trustees waited in silence with the ensuing presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with protests still ringing loud outside. Unable to coerce the protestors to leave, the trustees surrendered and signed the proposed pledge and exited the building. Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website, the President of CFA, John Travis saysi "Faculty members at every campus can describe the impact the bad decisions and misplaced priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their students: They are cutting campus budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento, L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after they have left the CSU," further explaining, "It's not our nature as academics to disrupt meetings. But we have our responsibility to fight for our students, for the university and for ourselves and our families. That responsibility is what moved us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students on campus at CSUSM shared this sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest. The impact of the spending made by CSU Trustees is great as the California State University system is the largest state school system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students each year and employing roughly 40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The challenge was filed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes. In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to support the Compassionate Use Act, Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The law requires counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users and also maintain a registry of people who apply for them. The law allows patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and "any other illness for which marijuana provides r elief' to possess or grow marijuana in small amounts with the recommendation of a doctor. Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana organization, found that 78% of voters polled in the county opposed the law- suit. However, one state, South Dakota, rejected a ballot measure last week that would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of only three counties in California that have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards of Supervisors in January filed similar suits which were consolidated with the suitfiledby San Diego. The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of marijuana for any purpose overrides any state law California has passed. Last June, in a case on a related topic, the Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities could prosecute crimes even in states like California. Nonetheless, the ruling passed down by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under submission. This ruling tentatively struck down the County's suit after the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave oral arguments later that day, but again did not succeed in changing the mind of the court. The argument, given by San Diego lawyer Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on states' requirements to fully enforce federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that in the view of the court, they were not. The court's final ruling, which will most likely remain against the suit, is expected sometime in December. While county voters do not appear to favor the lawsuit, there is a good chance the County Supervisors may appeal the courts decision. San Diego County receives $4.3 billion dollars from the government, most of which are federal dollars. By not complying with federal law, the cash strapped county could potentially be denied that money. Lawyers for Merced County announced in front of the judge that the county would appeal the decision and would be requesting a stay for the duration of the litigation. San Diego County lawyers have not yet announced whether they will appeal the decision or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change its mind for the final ruling. I Mfi* f JL . & - Hawaii mm * States allowing medicinal use �New doors opened by Gates W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new foreign policy is in place BY MARTIN GALA Pride Staff Writer The elections on November 7 proved that Americans are eager for change. Democrats reclaimed power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable margin, and managed to take back the Senate by only one seat. The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. While some students may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause major changes in the lives of many students. Rumsfeld was a principal member of a small group called the National Security Council whose purpose is formulating the goals and objectives of United States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain those goals. As Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military branches including the Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy. This means that his decisions affected the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp Pendleton, Miramar Air Station and other surrounding bases that many students and students' families are stationed at. In recent days, there has been controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if he was forced out of the Bush Administration. The White House refused to comment about any actual details pertaining to the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation amongst analysts indicates that the preparations have been on the minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time. There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady Laura Bush, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and not to mention numerous high ranking Generals that publicly announced their dissatisfaction of Rumsfeld's leadership within the Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to oust Rumsfeld earlier because of their close relationship. The President's loyalty to the former Secretary of Defense held strong despite the growing amount of public criticism over the past few Photo courtesy of www.dod.gov years over his mishandling of the war in Iraq. Soon after Donald Rumsfeld was forced to resign, the White House announced that they had selected a promising replacement. On November 8, 2006 President George W. Bush nominated Dr. Robert M. Gates to be the next Secretary of Defense. Recently Dr. Gates was a member of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and Lee Hamilton, a former chair of the House Committee on International Relations. The group was formed to help make recommen- dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment lengths or—even though highly unlikely—institute a draft. Robert Gates comes to the table with a vast understanding on international relations; he has served under six presidents, of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of experience on both the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates is currently the 22nd President of Texas A&M University, and will remain so, until he passes his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings. Many analysts speculate that Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National Security Council. After three years of combat, the Iraq war has cost the lives of a number of American troops, including family and friends of CSUSM students as well as members of the North County community. As the new Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates will be in charge of making decisions for the United States in Iraq, and try to prevent any further losses.

Many professors are excited for the new upper and lower division classes and what they will offer to students. This will increase the breadth of many of the language majors and minors and increase the level of understanding of the languages and the cultures behind them. In these courses, teachers get to watch students grow and develop specific language skills, perhaps utilizing their skills later on to travel the world. Through the Study Abroad Program on campus too, CSUSM students have the opportunity to enter language programs and travel to places like Japan and live there while continuing their study in school, furthering their grasp of the foreign language. For those students who are not interested in pursuing a degree or minoring in one of the offered languages, it is still beneficial to all students to be aware that many of the lower-level language classes can be used to fulfill the language requirement that is necessary to graduate. Students must complete a course or a test for the course in a language other than English to graduate. Every language major and minor has different professors. Each is also split up by last name so that someone with the last name beginning with 'A' will not have the same advisor as someone with the last name of 'Z.' Lucy Higuera, the Foreign Language Proficiency Assessor, is available to students who need more information about wanting to test out of the language requirement. More information on this and the language course completions can be found at http://lynx.csusm. edu/llc/graduationrequirement. asp. Additionally, students do not have to major or minor in a language to take the advanced classes, as so any student wishing to enjoy a language course is free to do so; of course there maybe pre-requisite classes needed.

I, one out of many other voices here at Cal State, would like to say that I love University Hour. I love the chances it has given me to meet new people and get involved with clubs around campus. It is my only free hour between class and work that I get where I can rest, be entertained, and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and unfamiliar to the campus and what it had to offer. I was delighted to find I am a student attending your University, here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason why I'm sending you this e-mail is because I have heard that there are some disputes regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year 2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating a better life on campus, as well as giving a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and people and groups available at a time where most people weren't in a rush. I find college to be a busy place, full of people hustling about to go on with their own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and a chance for students settle down for an hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy hour our school would loose a lot of life and connection. Thank you for listening to my concern. Christy Curtis allow students to participate more freely to club events (since I also participate to the Global Connections Org.), as well as encourage more social interaction among students. For these reasons, I hope that you will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse fully the presence of university hour on campus, and I hope that it will continue to be a part of my campus life (as well as of other students). Thank you for your time. Roxana Righetti University Hour provides oppurtunity to students for inclusion in campus community COMMUNITY: it's one of five of the Cal State San Marcos core values. One that LGBTA works to fulfill through our shared commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some people have stated that they don't need University Hour, which is fine. What I find troubling is the assumption that everyone can do without it. It seems as though some of the privileged members of the student body take for granted what it involves to build community. In order to facilitate the benefits of "community," time must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make "teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born into positions of privilege. I have seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts community. Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our gender, or sexual orientation, those without privilege may not know of the resources readily available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to find and use these resources. So, LGBTA will take full advantage of the opportunity to work with other student organizations on campus and create new partnerI II ships. I would like to thank ASI for their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour - without it some of us wouldn't know the benefits and advantages of being in a community. Each student I know on campus has a busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future. Rather than saying "University * I Hour" is a waste of time or that it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for everyone. How unfortunate that some students simply attend class and leave campus. That single hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body so they will not b e isolated from the communal experience that defines CSUSM.

He is on pace to break the NFL regular B season touchdown record, and countless other records by the end of his career. What you may not know, however, is that this humble man is capable of a number of other things that he refuses to brag about, so let me do the boasting for him. LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back, throw the ball down field, and somehow catch his own pass for a touchdown. He might even be able to snap the ball and kick his own extra point LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry. He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job a lot easier. He could probably even save Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us and doesn't want the world to be inhibited by any more offspring than the two they already created. LaDainian is actually a multi-talented athlete. He is thinking about entering the Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was still active, because he didn't want to beat Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's efforts towards curing cancer. LaDainian is a great scavenger. He knows how to find even the smallest holes in an opposing defense and then exploit it. Give him a flash light and a compass and he could find Osama Bin Laden before you could say Tal in Taliban. LaDainian is a conservationist. He knows that the mo^t important part of the game is in the second half, so he saves the majority of his touchdowns for crunch time. You know that hole in the O-zone? Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T. is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at running back. LaDainian is also a politician. He knows that if one of his teammates screws up, he shouldn't throw him under the bus because he will likely need him in the future. In 2008, LaDainian would run for president, but he doesn't want the Democrats and Republicans to fight over which party he should belong to. So, rather than creating a further divide between the two parties, he has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and has decided to continue dominating the rest of the NFL. LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going places that no other running back has ever gone before. He has discovered a way for humans to build a civilization on Mars, but he also knows that aliens exist, and he doesn't want to start an intergalactic war. LaDainian is a detective in his spare time" as well. He has solved even the toughest defensive schemes in the NFL. He could even rid the United States of all crime, but then thousands of police officers would be out of jobs. LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days. Photo illustration by David Gatley / The Pride He has cooked up plays on how to score by catching, running, and throwing the ball. He» has also perfected cloning on human beings, but the government wont allow him to make it public, for fear that if L.T. cloned himself then the world may implode upon his greatness. The only thing left for him to do is to bring a Super Bowl championship to San Diego, which from my experiences may be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

In 1993 a single officer from the Coronado Police Department loaded his police car with 12 brand new teddy bears and drove to what was known as Children's Hospital to deliver the teddy bears to the sick and injured children. Since then, the Children's Hospital has changed its name to Rady Children's Hos- I pital and now, the Teddy Bear Drive is a year-long event which will end on December 12. Instead of one single officer, a caravan of 100 police vehicles filled with stuffed animals travel to the Coronado Community Center. From there, the teddy bears are delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As tradition, the officers will walk inside the hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children as they hand out the bears. Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430 bears. A large sum of money was also donated to the Campus Police which made it possible for the hospital to buy more Ü S See TEDDYBEAR, page 2 IIS!ISy^ffv^Ä i Tue. Nov 14 71/59 F F Partly cloudy Wed.

Photo courtesy of ASI BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer This Thanksgiving, ASI is contributing to the community through their annual Turkey Basket Drive in which they have sought out students who will donate turkey baskets for families in need. Through Paloma Elementary School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted 16 families in need and on Thanksgiving, these families will enjoy a pleasant meal. This year will mark the sixth year ASI has taken part in the Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM community a chance to give back to the families in need around the area," she says. When ASI assigned each student a family, they included the age and gender make-up of each family member. Each student signed up is expected to cover the cost of a turkey in the form of a gift card, as well as other non perishables that would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21, ASI will collect the baskets and deliver them to the Early Learning Center where an ELC employee will deliver the baskets to the families.

Coach Ron Pulvers, who before the season believed his squad would be very competitive from day one, saw them struggle to get off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those first seven games, and clearly were having trouble buying into the system and playing together. But with their backs against the wall, the Cougar women refused to fold. Seemingly from nowhere, they started playing much better in all phases of the game. The first evidence of this came in the eighth game of the season, where the Cougars outplayed La Sierra University but still found themselves headed into overtime with the game knotted at 2. While the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the Cougars came together to get the result they believed they deserved. Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored the squad's first two goals of the match, volleyed a pass from Kelly Wherry into the net, putting an official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season. After "turning the corner" in that game, the women would continue to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable 7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily been much better without some late blown leads. What was the turning point? According to the players, it was not a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could indeed trust and rely on each other, and that being a true "team" was key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer, genuinely enjoying each others' .company and bonding with one another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees: "It took the girls a while to come out of their shells and get along," he says. "Midway through the season they caught on. That's when we started playing better." 2006 was indeed a tale of two teams for Pulvers. As the squad developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as well as optimism about the team's potential for next year. Players grew into their roles, leaders began to emerge, and the team became a lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy of following the Cougars this year was in watching a group of individual players come together as a team. Of the many Cougars that made and defense. She also contributed count on.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif By Kyle Trembley It's easy to look back on the 2006 men's soccer season and play the "what if" game. After all, while the squad was a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year and undeniably one of the best in the region, when the time came to announce the playoffs, the Cougars were left on the outside looking in. What if the team had won in just once in those three losses? What if they hadn't tied Chapman College late in the season? What if the playoffs weren't structured in a way that allotted a maximum of one slot to independent teams? But focusing on those questions unfairly draws attention away from the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at Cal State San Marcos. Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up: "If you would've made a deal with me before the season saying that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the playoffs, I would've taken it in a second." That's because going into the year, nobody knew what to expect. Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach Pulvers recruited a group of guys - mostly freshmen - during last spring, in the hopes that they'd come together by the season's beginning. But in training camp and preseason, the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level Then, after a hard-fought road loss at Cal Baptist in their first game, the Cougars came home to i. participate in the f£ X irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at Cal State San Marcos. On August 25th, the squad entered Mangrum Field to take on heavily-favored Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans came down from the University Village to cheer on the Cougars, and President Karen S. Haynes as well as other key CSUSM figures were in attendance. What they saw was a Cougar squad that came together in front of their eyes. With the game tied at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman forward Michael Nuovo outran the Pomona defense to a loose ball, and tucked it under the keeper to give the Cougars a very dramatic first win in the program's history. They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of 2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch was a 1-0 win against Point Loma Nazerene, a nationally-ranked school in the NAIA. Though the Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they wonfiveof theirfinalseven games to close out the season. But the question remains: How did the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season to a 12-3-1 record on the year? Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it was all about team chemistry. "The season is a sprint, not a marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys would get along. They genuinely liked each other and bought in to our system." In trying to find the major cata- 1f . „ lyst for it1 • cihemistry, one need not his look further than Ben Crouse. For thefirstthree years of his collegiate playing career, Crouse competed at the University of Notre Dame, starting on their defense for most of his junior season. His arrival at CSUSM gave the program instant credibility; and more importantly, gave the young squad a leader. "Benny [Crouse] was the key," remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the team together." Crouse anchored the group both on and off the field, and his vocal leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches' system set the tone early for the younger members of the squad. Crouse, a senior, was appointed captain early on by Coach Pulvers, because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a no-brainef." On the season, Crouse recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and was named to the All-Region team - no small feat, given that CSUSM is not even in a conference. While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was up to the freshmen to provide the flare - and they delivered. Forwards Michael Nuovo and Curtis Marcikic drove opposing defenses crazy with their speed and creativity. Nuovo, whose ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's most impressive plays of the year, finished second on the team with 9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss to Santa Cruz. Marcikic, who provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more goals as well as 6 assists.

Mir who was once considered an unstoppable force in the UFC is slowly fading. If he can beat Vera he might get some of his clout back. However, Vera, who is a perfect 3 -0 in the UFC, all by knockout or submissions and 7-0 overall, is not going to lie down easy. Vera has strong ground game and powerful striking ability. This should be a great fight. This historic night also features such big names like Nick Diaz, Joe "Daddy" Stephenson and James "Sandman" Irvin. Once the Thanksgiving dinner has settled in and the Christmas buzz is gone, j ust as we get ready to bring in the New Year, the UFC has one last g ift for us. Two words people: Ortiz/Liddell. Their first fight was a good one, which was mostly dominated by the Ice Man. However, Ortiz was an immature, cocky punk in their first fight; now he is a mature, cocky older punk. Ortiz has learned a lot since his loss to Iceman and will come out that night looking to take the Ice Man's belt. Chuck Liddell has been on a winning streak since beating Randy Couture for the belt over a year ago. This night also has the tfeturn of the Pit bull Andrei Arlovski, who is coming off his loss to Tim Sylvia. The ever popular Forrest Griffin will be jumping back into the Octagon to take on Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine as well.

The term began when O'Riley used Web 2.0 as the title for a series of conferences held during 2004. Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of websites. The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites and communication tools. Web 2.0 focuses on the user of the internet as the contributor of information. Together users form a type of informational network that other users benefit from. Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet. Other examples of Web 2.0 are wikipedia.com, myspace.com, youtube.com, and amazon.com. These sites all have one thing in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching, the content that other users can potentially benefit from. Although Web 2.0 is the common term used for the new breed of websites, many people and technological companies are skeptical of the phrase for numerous reasons. Some people argue that by labeling these new web sites 2.0 implies that the new era is merely un update version of original or common websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL 10.0. They argue that Web 2.0 should be labeled entirely different. Others have labeled Web 2.0 as a buzzword that has negative the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate.

And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's departure will do nothing to fix the stalemate. "The issue isn't Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night interview.

Last Tuesday, I covered the San Diego General Elections for "The Associated Press." It was the second time I covered an election day, and this time I learned a lot more than the first time. I also had a lot more fun since I got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the night is also detailed. I covered the Primary Élections in June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time I had an idea of what was expected, so I was able to learn a lot about the behind the scenes type stuff involved with elections. I had the opportunity to ven- * ture into some rooms that many will never see, and meet some very interesting people. Around 2 AM, we were taken into the wherehouse where all the ballots and machines are taken from trucks and transported down an assembly line of people, eventually leading to the tabulation room. I felt like I was miniaturized, placed into some sort of a machine, witnessing gears operate and function like nothing I had seen before. I met David Morten when I covered the Primaries. I am not quite sure what his official title is, but he is good at his job. He passed the time with us past 3AM. He made the wee hours of the morning much more enjoyable as he provided someone to crack jokes with. I have never been comfortable around police officers or sheriffs, so you can imagine my discomfort when we spent most of the night around five sheriffs. I think they could see my discomfort, but by the end of the night we were all buddies. The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can imagine me with my "don't take crap" personality. Chantal and I have been members of the media for some time now, but this provided an opportunity to meet some new people in our profession. I met Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of Chantal's, who was very nice. I also met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan, and had a lot of advice to offer about the T.V. media business. Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for granted, it was great to feel like an important part of the process. Build your Resume more info; pride@csusm.edu BY CHANTAL PASAG Special to The Pride I have to admit I was "riding the high horse" this past Election Day as I had the privilege to work for one of the most prominent news sources in the nation, "The Associated Press." That night, the polls were about to close, and the line was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters, they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some people react under stress is the way a voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a responsibility!" Recalling what she said post Election Day provoked the thought of the media's responsibility to report the number of voting machine glitches county wide, statewide, and nation wide. Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and the democratic take over of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's huge! But what about the glitches? Apparently there were some problems at a polling location of a CSUSM professor. She says her husband got to vote twice because of technical difficulties with the machines. The "San Diego Union Tribune" reported on the matter saying glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters became frustrated as they were unable to use computerized voting machines and were "forced to use paper ballots instead." The role that I played election night, a reporter for the AP San Diego division, was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people look for convenience when it comes to information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our civic responsibility to vote, but it's our responsibility to seek out various news sources rather than relying on one. I've come down from my high horse since that night. The entire experience was very interesting. I got to converse with sheriff investigators about taser guns and I-pods, which was an unusual mix of small talk. Also, some cronies from my everyday job at KUSI stopped by for their live shots at the registrar of voter's office. I also had the chance to briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB channel eight. It's a nice dose of reality to know that most of the professionals I talked with had a good sense of humor. For the people in this industry, having a sense of humor is what keeps them sane, as the news can sometimes disconnect them from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

I'm past my kegger days, and at restaurants when everyone else orders a beer, I order a pop. So you could imagine my surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like! Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a great choice. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride StaffWriter Housed with authentic German-styled brewing machinery, the beers Lightning Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful. Gearing up to celebrate their annual 'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one might just take the cake as the sweetest, most spectacular beer I've ever4 had; heck, it's so sweet it could be a cake in itself. Drink of the Week B O N D M ARTINI BY DAVID-BAUER Pride StaffWriter martini that was shaken rather than stirred as a 'Bond martini'. Martinis are traditionally made with gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka is generally avoided. When vodka, or any alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk. Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that makes the Bond martini the perfect palate cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large, I confess that I'm not a big beer fancier. I much prefer sampling from the vast array of pleasures that make up the cocktail cosmos. Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the door to a new realm of possibilities slightly ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue, this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity, floral aroma combine for a truly delightful drinking experience. From champagne to bourbon to Raki, throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though, James Bond laid out the ingredients to what would become his trademark drink: a vodka martini—shaken not stirred. Later in the same novel, Bond would name his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards though, people would refer to any vodka and very strong, and very cold, and very well-made." And the drink is well made; the exact ingredients are given in the beginning of the novel, "a dry martini... in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add a large thin slice^of lemon-peel." Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon, this martini is cool and refreshing and cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by shaking it with ice, also adds additional water to the mixture as the ice is broken apart lightening the taste. This of course means that the Bond martini does not have much personality in itself and is not much of a stand alone beverage. As an Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride aperitif it does quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it lacks personality, complexity and body. CD Review: Secret Apollo, "Homemade Time Machine" 9 # # ^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride StaffWriter As bizarre as they are, I can't help but love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade Time Machine." Some of their songs are nothing more than an extended minute of guitar distortion and others are minutes full of sonic instrumental fusion.

They have expressed outrage over his pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded theater. To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this newcomer stack up against my ideal 007? With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first line as the famous spy, my cool composure started to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and he's packing heat, all right. As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining "00" status. The audience witnesses his first two kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to them. A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch, a parody of itself to another level. With his electric blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond. After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le M Qj\SINO ROYALE C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's stake in a poker game the outcome of which may bring terrorist operations crashing down. Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen always adds a silvery highlight of pure class and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in the film. Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance between blood and wit, which in itself is not Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging manner in which this new Bond alternately engages in fight scenes and delivers cheeky one-liners that wins my approval and hope that Daniel Craig will return as James, Bond in future films. "Casino Royale" will be in theaters 17 November.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation coming to CSUSM BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on Wednesday, November 15. The event that is also known as "On the Way to the Cure - Komen on the Go" will be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The nine week tour has 36 stops; one of them being CSUSM. "They go to many campuses throughout the U.S. and we are fortunate to be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter, the special project coordinator for Health and Human Services here at CSUSM. The event was held last year and will probably be held again next year. "We would like to host them again next year but it depends on their National Schedule," said Ruhter. The six - hour event will include the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer. The event will also have computer stations, informational materials about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to go to for answers to questions about breast health and breast cancer will also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow students to share their ideas about breast cancer. Prizes will be given away for those who participate. "It's a great educational event and we [will] also have breast cancer survivors on site to answer questions and lend support," said Ruhter. Nancy G. Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in memory of her sister. Brinker lost her sister (Komen) to breast cancer. Komen was only 36 years old and left two children behind. Komen fought breast cancer for three years before the cancer over took her. From her encounter and personal experience, Brinker learned how the lack of knowledge on breast cancer played a significant role in her sister's death. Additionally, San Diego hosted VOL.

Most of them are free from the burdens of their classes until Monday. The professional staff members who work in the offices of the UVA have gone home for the evening. Tonight, out of the 15 Resident Advisors in the UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow and Alex Cohen to make the rounds, enforce the rules, and much, much more. 10:30 p.m.: The round* begin on the first floor of B. This is Matt Curran and Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively quiet thus far. Getskow and Cohen walk slowly, pushing on every door they walk by. A few of the door handles are broken, other doors are left ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the doors and continue walking, a resident's curious face will appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're just checking the doors," they say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken, Getskow and Cohen advise them to fill in a work order at the front desk during business hours. "So no one walks in and takes a TV or anything," Getskow says. 10:50 p.m.: Getskow and Cohen are nearing the end of the second floor of B, Josh Freeman and Steven Butler'sfloor.Getskow and Cohen describe how most residents think their RAs are out to get them. "We're not here to hunt people. We're here to enforce rules." Cohen says. Getskow adds, "Our main concern is that no one's passed out on the floor." Most times, when they knock on doors, to ask students to quiet down, it's because they can hear them laughing loudly and playing music from two doors down.

This small office serves roughly 200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area schools to earn credit at CSUSM. The CSUSM SWRC (South West Riverside County) branch campus has offered classes for the last six years to students who are either currently enrolled at CSUSM or participating in the Open University program. Over the next few years though, due to an increase in the state budget it is antici- l^nes pated that this office will more than double its size, expanding to accommodate 500 students. Most of the CSU system schools in Southern California are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas farther east isolated. In order to allow students in these areas greater access to a university education, CSUSM established a satellite branch in South Western Riverside County in the city of Temecula. The system of building satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU Channel Islands operates one in Camarillo, CSU Northridge operates one in Ventura, and in 1978 San Diego State University, built a satellite campus in North County, which in 1989 became CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM SWRC "campus" is really just an administrative office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the CSUSM SWRC branch campus are held in the nearby classrooms in Temecula and Murrieta area schools. The classes, that number 11 for fall semester and 14 for last spring, are generally taught by CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught in classrooms mostly in Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Wildomar, and at Temecula Valley High School. The classes are generally smaller and offered in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part time and evening students. There are a few courses at CSUSM SWRC branch campus that are also focused on helping graduate students earn either the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre requisites for any of the other credential programs at CSUSM. There are also some upper division general education courses offered for students, and some for those attempting to earn a degree in Liberal Studies. However, in order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students will need to take some classes at the main CSUSM campus. There are also limitations on the kinds of courses that can be offered at the branch office; an agreement with Mt./San Jacinto Community College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses. Students at CSUSM SWRC branch campus are also limited to Social Sciences and Humanities classes, meaning that students with other majors will at most only be able to take a few general education classes at the SWRC branch; but that may change in the near future with the increased enrollment allowance and budget increase. With an increase in funding for the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the possible windfall if Prop ID passes, the SWRC branch will be able to increase the number of classes and services over the next few years. Program coordinators at the SWRC branch hope to expand to offer classes in Science and Math as well as offering Continuing Education activities. Their plans also include opening an actual campus facility for the program in Temecula.

With the iPod claiming Built into Apple's popular almost 73 percent share of the iTunes digital music distribu- market for portable music play- ers last year, some analysts see Apple's iPod well on track for replacing Sony's Walkman as the most popular portable audio product in history. This popularity combined with the CSUSM's willingness to embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online and distance learning make podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a lucrative one for Apple. The flexibility of distributing material via podcast generally appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will probably be even more appealing to students who can download a lecture and listen to it anywhere rather than make the commute to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection anywhere in the world to listen to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded courses could potentially be recycledfromprevious years and downloaded by incoming students as a cost cutting measure by some schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty classrooms implement mandatory attendance policies. Either way podcasting lectures may be the next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

She finished the course with a time of 18:53.67, good for 19th place. Whitney Patton, who has been one of the squad's leaders throughout the year and helped carry them to their high national ranking, took 24th at the event. Right behind her was Morgan Sjogren in 28th, followed by Erin Hearn, who made her first appearance in the Cougars' top5 with a 41st-place finish. Other Cougars who competed include Aimee Bradley (45th) and Kristen Simek (60th). Concordia University made it a clean sweep on the day, winning the women's event as well. Azusa Pacific, Vanguard, and Point Loma Nazarene finished ahead of the Cougar women as well, but the squad should still make Nationals. For both the men and women, that event will be held on November 18th in Louisville, Kentucky.

He decided to drop his suspension appeal to the NFL office, because he realized the four games suspension would be upheld and if he waited any longer to start the suspension he would have missed both games versus the Denver Broncos. I enjoy watching Merriman play, probably more than any other defensive player in the league. If he had simply come to me for some advice on the matter, he might have had a chance against the league office. With that said, I present to you the top 10 excuses Shawne Merriman could have used to explain why he tested positive for steroids. 10 - "The lab technician who handled my urine sample was a Broncos fan. Now that I think about it, the guy who handed me the cup to urinate in looked an awfuHot like Jake Plummer." 9-"ItookasipfromBarry Bonds' water botde. At least I thought it was water.

I thought he said check out the new stereos." 3 - "My nickname 'Lights Out' applies to more things than my playing ability. You see, sometimes the lights go out in my head and I black out for hours at a time. I can't be held responsible for what goes in my body during that period of time." 2 - "Recently I have become a big brother to a disadvantaged youth. One day I came upon him with a syringe in his hand. He said he was going to shoot up because he wanted to make it to the NFL one day. I wouldn't let that happen to a developing young boy, so I snatched the syringe from his hand and injected myself, just so he couldn't harm his own body. So, if you really think about it, I am a hero. Don't do drugs kids." 1 - "I couldn't stand to watch anymore Marty Ball, and I don't even play offense." Next time you athletes get into trouble, just come to me. No problem is beyond repair for me. Just contact me at Sando026@csusm. edu and I will have ten excuses for you to use, free of charge within 24 hours.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN "Plan B" is the most diverse song on the Pride Staff Writer album in terms of the stylistic choices made Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's this one. MuteMath is exactly like what you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted." That said, the opening number on the latest release from Teleprompt/Warner Records is a little on the softer side of the usual MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your way though. "Typical" still has enough guts to get your heart pumping. The four-piece New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will have your palms sweating and your heart racing for a solid hour; that's better than putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if you ask me. With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem and skilled musicianship, the vocals of lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues.

Utilizing magical the listener from one track to the next, the homemade instruments and bursting with songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all THE PRIDE Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and organ-esque breakdown paired with the heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse together seamlessly. "Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy rhythms. The vocals on this song, however, smooth this number down, rounding it out as a fairly enjoyable listening affair. Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath live is by far an affair I'll never be able to forget. I had the opportunity to witness them live a little over a year ago when they opened for Mae at the San Diego House of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show. They were thefirstband to play, and they could have very well been the only band that played that night None of the bands that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed that night.

This year's batch has done especially well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006 Australian International Beef Awards and taking home the gold in the 2006 World Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is frothy and an inch thick which disappeared after a few minutes leaving a small amount of lacing around the edges. The smell is crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones provided by its warm toasted malts. The ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious. Its after taste is clean and slightly bitter with a hint of a toasted maltflavor.It is available both on tap and in bottles, though the bottled version is slightly harder to find.

Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pridd BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!" cautions The Dude, fearing for his precious potion while being shoved into a limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its popularity increaseddramatically after Jeff Bridges starred as "The Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker with a steady routine: "I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski" introduced cocktail-lovers' far and wide to a little beverage that shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during the Russian Civil War. The White Russian is a simple, creamy cocktail composed of vodka, Kahlua and cream served on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass. Though by no means intensely sweet, the flavor j of the drink reminds me of an old-style hard candy like Werther's Original. Its creamy texture and smooth, warm sensation boosts its luxury factor - each sip makes me feel as if I'm indulging in something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian contains cream, which can be substituted for with milk, it's a little, beverage that can be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance. Having more than one of these little beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly warm and relaxed to downright debauched in surprisingly little time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I tend to reserve the White Russian for treats and special occasions. Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into an old-fashioned glass, add 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua, and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use Absolut Vanilia) will add another subtle layer offlavor,making the drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy! Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A THE PRIDE Movie review: ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer I've heard the song many times on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka," until now. Listening to it, though, in the car or at home, I've always found myself a little misty-eyed at the end of the song as it reminds "Flicka me of my own father. Now, sitting in an almost barren movie theater with a mob of 5-year-old girls a few rows over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy, "My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw anthems as the credits roll, and I once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved novel "My Friend Flicka," by Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka," is for those of all ages, especially for those young at heart. Starring Alison Lohman as Mary McLaughlin and a shaven Tim McGraw in his first acting role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms an endearing and enjoyable story of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang she finds, befriends, and names Flicka. Determined to follow her family legacy and run her father's horse ranch, Mary finds the wild horse in the hills of modern day Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat she and Flicka are more alike than she could have ever dreamed. Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face challenges and loss in the film. Capturing the connection that can be made between a girl and her animal companion, in this case a wild mustang, "Flicka" personifies the transition from adolescence to adulthood and the rocky journey one can experience along the way. Uesday, 7,2006 Tuesday; November 7> 2006 Ü J & C E- ^ A feel-sood Watching the interaction and realizations made by Mary in her relationship with Flicka, and through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a deeper appreciation for the good things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase our dreams and become the person we wish to be. The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a movie, it inspires a multitude of ideas and new hopes. Set in the lush and beautiful landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming, more than anything, the scenery and nature in "Flicka" awakened this urge and need inside myself to pick up and take off into the wilderness: to get back to nature, to be free from civilization, and to be free in nature's beauty. It seems that in the middle of nowhere, somewhere lost in Cre- il flick Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away from everything is else is the exact place to take a moment to find yourself. A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a film that gives you your money's worth, along with a few parting thoughts. Though it wouldn't be my first box office pick, I would highly recommend "Flicka" to anyone looking to do a little soulsearching. �Tuesday, November 7, 2006 THE PRIDE Photos by Sophie Brißi fThç If it � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With registration deadlines for the spring semester approaching in November, some CSUSM students may find pickaprof.com a valuable asset in obtaining any information, regarding specific professors or courses that might be of interest.

Scheduled to take place during University Hour in Academic Hall, Room 111, the discussion is open to all students and a free lunch will be available to those who attend. The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness about the impact violence cañ have in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People don't realize how hard it can be for [victims]—who are in a situation of domestic violence—to speak out. There are so many factors that can tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions, children, and prior history. Abusers can also isolate a victim, by gaining control of the victim's life and cut them off from other people." The intention of the discussion is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another important point to keep in mind too, is that domestic violence doesn't always translate into physical abuse that results in bruises, cuts, or other visible ramifications. Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse, From TELEVISION, page 1 it is a wonderful way to kill time."

Professors who teach classes from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. and from 10:30 to 11:45 were asked by administrative personnel and UABC correspondents if they had available seats and would be willing to have visiting students in their classroom. An estimated 34 professors responded to the request, From CANCER, page 1 will die from it. In a man's lifetime, the odds of getting testicular cancer are about 1/300, and the survival rate after treatment is currently at 96%, states the ACS. According to the National Cancer Association, men are not only at risk for testicular cancer, but as most people aren't aware, men can also be at risk for breast cancer. Women, however, are largely at a much higher risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and over 43,000 women died from breast cancer last year as well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600 men were diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400 of those diagnosed lost their lives to it. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women and currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In contrast, whereas testicular cancer is more common in younger men, giving UABC students a wide variety of classes to choose from. Nearly 15 CSUSM students have already signed up to join the UABC students throughout the day's events that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently five more spaces open for CSUSM students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students. Along with participating students, President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick (Director of University Global Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett (Interim Director of the Center for Border and Regional Affairs) will welcome UABC students as they join for lunch in front of Kellogg Library during University Hour. After lunch, UABC students and the risk for breast cancer in women increases with age. The NCA declares that one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. On the NCA website* ages and corresponding percentages of breast cancer incidence within the subsequent ten years of a woman's life are listed. For example, a woman who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985 chance; a 30-year-old woman has a 1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year old woman has a 1/26 chance; and a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24 chance. Hoodenpyle later added, "For both breast and testicular cancer selfexaminations, there are easy steps and easy things everyone can do to help protect themselves, empower themselves and empower others by making information and knowledge available." For more information on breast and testicular cancer, visit: http:// www.cancer.org and intimidation are also forms of domestic violence. "Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime," is the statistic printed on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and when you think about it, what does that say about our own cultural and global perspective of women? What does it mean? How do we -address it? Where do we start to get national efforts to combat violence? Those are all things we hope to address."

According to Darci Strother, the Director of the Office of Community Service Learning, "Both the UABC and CSUSM share a commitment to community service as part of our institutions' missions." Through the kind efforts offered by UABC and CSUSM students, our university will fulfill that goal, as well as UABC, as every UABC student in Tijuana must fulfill a community service requirement in order to graduate. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to work together for the wellbeing of others. From CENTER, page 1 the Multicultural Center.

Franklin says that the event "define [d] what an ally is and what an ally is not. Other than learning what an ally is, [students are] challenged to follow through with this knowledge and lend support [and] assist minimal power-powerless individuals, groups or organizations."

Carly Ludwig was the top Cougar finisher, taking 86th. Coming off a win in its first competition ofthe fall, Tuesday's finish was a bit of a letdown for the team. On the difficult par72 6,259-yard course at Chula Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was able to break 80 during the two rounds of competition. Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra; Defense Back on Track Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0 win at La Sierra University on Wednesday. Earlier this month, CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a score of 4-0. Almost as important than the win itself was the fact that the squad's defense regained its form. In its first eleven games, the Cougars limited opponents to just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in just the two games. Wednesday's match was the first since those games, and the defense bounced back better than ever, as did keeper Trent Painter. The offense was awfully good too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing dynamic games. The Cougars controlled every phase of the match, out-shooting La Sierra Carly Ludwig led the squad in both rounds, shooting 83 on Monday followed by an 81 on Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an 82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86), and EllyseSiu (91-86). 4 The University of Denver, whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582, won the event. BYU finished seven shots back for second, and U.C. Irvine took third with a score of 596. CSUSM's final score was 675. Women's Soccer able to hold onto lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2 rim. Crouse was able to tuck his shot into the bottom corner of the net. At the 43-minute mark, CSUSM would push its lead to 5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross that found Brandon Zuniga, who made a nifty redirection towards the goal. The keeper would make the save, but Daniel Vasquez was there to clean up the rebound. The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute when Bradley Seidenglanz collected a loose ball, made a run through the defense, and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final score matches the squad's biggest margin of victory, which came in the September 7th win over San Diego Christian College. Next up for the Cougars is a home game against Chapman University on Friday, October 20. All fans are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on their Cougars in the last home match of their inaugural season! Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the women's team playing at 2:00 p.m. by a staggering total of 29-3, and earning ten corner kicks to their opponent's zero. The Cougar scoring came early and often. Off the opening kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the defense for a one-on-one with the keeper, but was unable to convert. At the one-minute mark, Miguel Jacobo penetrated the defense, and struck a cross in front of the goal. A La Sierra defender tried to head it aside, but redirected it into his net for an own goal. But the Cougars wouldn't need that kind of luck on Wednesday. In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo behind the defense, and Nuovo was able to slip it under the keeper. Just two minutes later, the same duo teamed up for another goal, with Marcikic once again finding Nuovo behind the defense. Three minutes after that, the Cougars earned a free kick in La Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking the kick quickly, and finding defender Ben Crouse making a Photo By Jason Encabo / Pride File Photo Women's Soccer Able to Hold Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32 Reversing what has become a painful trend over the last month, the CSUSM women's soccer team (4-8-1) was able to successfully close out L a Sierra on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak. It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season, both of which have come by 3-2 scores. On the season, CSUSM has struggled in one-goal games, losing five of six of such matches before Wednesday. But the team has persevered, and is finally being rewarded for its hard work and effort. At La Sierra, the Cougars came out on fire, getting on the scoreboard in the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game overall, crossed a ball to Randi Leyva. Leyva was able to strike the ball out of mid-air, knocking it into the lower-right corner. With a 1-0 lead, the squad went into a bit of a lull, and La Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute when Shelley Bun hit a corner kick to Starlena Murray, and Murray was able to finish. The 1-1 score would hold up through halftime. After halftime, the Cougars would regain the spirit they had early in the game. In the 64th 'minute, Miquella Martinez once again set up a teammate, this time Kelly Wherry. Martinez played a ball across the top of the box, Wherry controlled it, and drove it into the upper right corner of the net. Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1. Clarissa Hidalgo made one of her trademark rims through the defense, and was able to beat the keeper with a strong finish. Though the squad was able to hold on for the win, it would not come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one minute left, Shelley Bun brought La Sierra back within one, and the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM was able to hang on, winning the game 3-2 for their fourth win of the season. In what was an all-around strong effort, both the back and front lines had strong games. The Cougars will try to keep the momentum going when they face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will be played at Mangrum Field at 2:00 p.m., so come on out and support your Cougars! Photo By David Gatley I Pride File Photo Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place 4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win Men's Cross Country Takes 2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton; Mejia Breezes to Another Win At the Fullerton Invite on Friday, the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams looked sharp, finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively. Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's event easily, while Bonghabih Shey led the women's squad with a 9th place finish. The event marks Mejia's second consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in thefield.This time around, Mejia had 33 seconds to catch his breath before the second place finisher arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line with his times at other events this year, and his potential at regionals and nationals is off-the-charts. Mejia wasn't the only Cougar who looked great in the team's final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2 runner Phil Hoffman, finishing 31st, sophomore Mike Crouch picked up the slack in a big way. His time of 26:25 was good for fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second. Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making Mejia's margin of victory all the more impressive. On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string of strong finishes, taking 9th place with a time of 18:39. It was the second time that Shey, already an accomplished track athlete, led the cross-country team this fall. Whitney Patton, who has led the squad in the events Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong 19th-place finish at Vanguard by taking 27th on Friday. She's been a pleasant surprise this year for Coach Steve Scott, and has improved tremendously since last year. Overall, the Cougar women finished with a time of 1:35:05, good for fourth place. Cal Coast TC won the women's 5k event by running 1;30:45, and UC Santa Barbara finished second. Santa Barbara won the men's 8k event with a total time of 2:13:36, 36 seconds better than the secondplace Cougars.

MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into the lap of an 80-year-old white guy. The only people who, know Lasorda are die-hard baseball fans, and MLB already has that person coming to the ballpark. If MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to use its money on someone that can appeal to the casual fan, the fan that is younger than 80 years old. The NBA is misguided as well, but at least they're trying. If you haven't noticed, the NBA is a game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good white guys thrown into the mix. It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not the music, but the lifestyle) is synonymous with the NBA. So, my question concerns why David Stern, the NBA commissioner, is trying to change the sport. Look at what Stern is doing with all of these rule changes. Last season he instituted a dress code. He said that dress clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As soon as an NBA player enters an arena, he has to suit up. Before this rule, players showed up at press conferences wearing the types of clothing brands that NBA fans wear; "Rocawear," "Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is associated with "minority" groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that they aren't ever going to be interested in the NBA. The only thing that he is doing is diminishing the largest consumer audience around. MLB and the NBA also need to take a page from the NFL on hoiw to handle disciplinary issues. Look at what is taking over the headlines right now in both sports. MLB has all these steroid problemsfloatingaround. Someone actually has to get caught with a needle in their arm to actually be found guilty, and they have to be caught like 30 times before they are kicked out of the sport. In the NBA, Steven Jackson and his off-court crusade with a gun outside of a strip club is only one of the many incidents from an NBA player of late. I am assuming the disciplinary action taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In the NFL, if you screw up you are banished to Canada, like Ricky Williams. I guess what I am basically saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce or about 14.9 million Americans. Many states, including California, are raising the minimum wage through state legislatures, but the same old story is been played out again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even have state minimum wage laws, leaving the already impoverished Southern states even further behind the curve. While this may have a small impact as us as Californians, it is important to America as a nation to promote a strong workforce. It becomes difficult for workers to insist on their own rights and fair wages when people in other parts of the country are not afforded those same rights. The emerging global markets require a level of high education to stay on top of the game. The only way to achieve this on a large scale in America is to ensure that all people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class fear that a raise in the minimum wage will affect their wages negatively, but essential workers will always be compensated for the expertise that they bring to the job. Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime due to poverty?the only way for poverty to be alleviated is through the rise the wages of the workers that are at the lowest end of the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It is hard to imagine conditions worsening, but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend on compensation from our nations largest corporations. -MicahBearce m ake i nformed, h eal c onfident choices 760.744.I SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $ 11 0 0 - $ 18.00 p er h our C u s t o m e r S e r v i c e : $ 9.00 C all ( 760)744-SWlM 277 S.

I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time, and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our tickets goes to anyways? ^ Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms of its timeline of events; and for those going in cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take this movie as a depiction" of what really happened. The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite, Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality, and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine. With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's character that the audience is able to relate to —other than Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage— the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and A| nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal .«¿AgS the show, there was no beheading, and no J M windows were broken as a result of the Jjj French Revolution that was happening É | just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B the film just felt unfinished. a^Hffi^H Other historical biopics that I have J Ê seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É • X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are MHBBI better examples of films that portray the characters from a HB perspective that audiences J9 can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê Antoinette" just doesn't hit JH home for me. I felt misled as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | | all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i just wanted my two hours j P B M f f and ten bucks back. I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s. Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the traditions and routines of her newly acquired position. I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts |F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor, there isn't really any substance to this film; in % fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay k 1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th f century France. Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that there was particularly any chemistry between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood |W we're talking about—would have kept *¥ the audience awake long enough to watch the end ^ W j V credits.

At 8:30 a.m. last Thursday, 33 students from Universidad Autonoma de Baja California arrived on a bus from Tijuana. Enthusiastic CSUSM students welcomed the visiting students and led them to selected classes to attend. After attending two classes, UABC students gathered with CSUSM students for lunch outside of the library on the secondfloorpatio. On the patio, students talked with each other over roast beef, ham, and turkey sandwiches, cookies, potato chips and Arizona iced tea. President Karen Haynes welcomed UABC students in Spanish and then proceeded in English, explaining the importance of the connection between our two universities. Haynes also described the importance of reaching across borders as a way to understand the multicultural diversity of Southern California and Baja VOL.

The Quilt is made up of more than 40,000 panels, each made in commemoration for people with AIDS. On November 27, a panel of the quilt will arrive in the fifth floor of the Kellogg Library. Professor Gilbert Valadez is leading the organization of this event Five years ago, Valadez was diagnosed with AIDS, and he believes that the pandemic deserves more attention. His growing awareness led him to organize the first World Aids Day observation at CSUSM. In an interview with Robert Erichsen, a staff member for thé College of Education, Professor Valadez said, "This observance then is helping me frame my own illness in a social way, By that, I mean that I felt that one of the ways that I could help myself is to help See AIDS QUILT, page 2 "DataDot DNA" technology capable of preventing theft BY KELLY CORJRJGAN Pride Staff Writer It's happened in the past.

He is the guy on the radio that the broadcasters refer to as "Head", because of the big melon in between his shoulders. He works as a board operator and producer for those two companies.

These Buddhist holiday. It is believed, days of crafts, cooking, and flowthat each year during Obon, the ers hold great meaning for many Hispanic families. The Ching Ming observance had its beginnings as the original religion in China. Ancestor worship is the only native religion to China. All others* including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, were imported from outside of China. Confucianism and Taoism originated in China but are philosophies rather than religions. This remnant of ancestor worship is celebrated with the maintenance of tombs the offering of food and other essentials, and displays of respect. Sometimes, a family will set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Walpurgis Night, celebrated in Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic, is a night of warding off witches. In Germany, whips are cracked and horns are blared. In Sweden, bonfifes are added to the noise. In the Czech Republic, people spread grass or sand on the doorstep in the belief that witches can not enter a house before counting the blades of grass or grains of sand. Celebrated on April 30, this day is an old pagan festival, which borrows its name from Saint Walburga. The most common association of Halloween is with Pagan celebrations. According to Pagan expert, Eva Snyder, "Halloween Photo by David Bauer / The Pride is magical. It is the time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead is thinnest, permitting contact between the two worlds," she says. "The lines between past, present and future are also blurred, allowing the impossible to happen." These pagan celebrations are often misconstrued and falsely have negative and dangerous connotations. American celebrations of Halloween have little to do with ancestor worship. Rather, costumes and candy abound, and trick-or-treating is enjoyed by children. Jack-o-lanterns, also a Halloween staple, have quite the interesting history. The Jack-olantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

Is it becoming a day that is an excuse to dress dents what they were going to be were, they gave vague descrip- tions or settled with common costumes. What are the popular costumes this year? From asking the students it seems to be a pirate or a ninja. A representative from CC & CO Costume Shop, a shop that has been in business for the past 21 years in Temecula, says that the most popular costumes this year are pirates for couples; nurses and cops for females, and that most guys were dressing as part of a couple, or just came i n, to get a mask. If this is true, then what does it say about us? I asked some students how they feel about people flaunting their sex appeal on Halloween with racy outfits for girls and pimp costumes for the guys; and there were two common answers. One was that it's an excuse to dress in ways one normally wouldn't in hopes of attracting attention from other people. The other idea was that it's just Halloween, and costume choices are not taken seriously by people. Halloween is meant to be a fun time with or without parties; so are we being too analytical? or are people really going overboard with sex appeal for the holiday? Either way, it's a time to dress up as something one isn't and fool others around you. It's a time to enjoy the weekend or the night and have no worries but the cavities one might wake up with the morning after. Website of the week: homestarrunner.com BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Homestarrunner.com was once a humble site made by two brothers for the entertainment of the un-entertained. Each week there would be one or more new cartoons on the site. It didn't have much fame five or so years ago, but the true fans knew what it was and know what it is today. Brothers Matt and Mike Chaps created the website and all of its animations and games, with Matt in charge of the art and programming and Mike performing all of the voices of the characters (except for the voice of the site's one female, which is performed by his Wife Melissa Palmer). The finances of running the Homestar Runner website and its webbased store had been handled by their father, Don, until he passed away earlier this year. Today the site is booming with new characters and new things to do. For all the original fans that know of this site, all the old cartoons and shorts and such can all be found in the museum section. There are cartoons featuring the slow witted, lisping, Homestar Runner—the website's main character. Other characters also recur in cartoons on the site such as the ridiculously pompous, luchador-mask-wearing, Strong- bad and his tiny yellow accomplice, The Cheat, who Strongbad describes at one point as looking "like some kind of cheese... or anvil," and who only communicates through mumbles and squeaks. The cartoons are centered on the characters' adventures and interactions. There are also games, and videos starring puppet versions of the characters and other features as well. One popular feature is that viewers can send emails to be answered by the character Strongbad in a cartoon, which usually consists of several minutes of Strongbad humorously criticizing everything about the email and its a plush The Cheat that squeaks author.

Residing in whaf have inevitably become overdeveloped condominiums and commercialized residences, what is now San Elijo Hills, was once a spiritual and even haunted area dubbed "Questhaven." No doubt many San Diego residents have unknowingly driven through Questhaven as it's a surefire shortcut to Escondido that spits travelers out from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Auto Parkway in less than four minutes. The short drive through Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest not only feels like something out of "The Twilight Zone," but it also feels like a mindless time warn.^ . Rumored to once be inhabited by Gypsies and their social kin at the turn of the 19th century and welp into to the 20th century, legend has it that when other natives of the land and cjdzens of local communities came in and drove off the Gypsies, slaughter- ing those who stood in their way, the Gypsies cursed the land of Elfin Forest. Perhaps this curse was the impetus f or many of the . urban legends that have accumulated throughout the years. Coincidentally, there are also accounts of Northern Diegueno Indians inhabiting the land more than 9,Q00 years, using it as a sacred space for burials and-peace offerings. With curvy roads* creepy trees growling over the paths, and eerie sights" and sounds, Questhaven embodies many fears that seep into the holes of the collective subconscious, lending to the idea that this; place generates a supernatural power that tests ther nerves and wills of innocent visitors. With no cell phone reception, or friendly places to look to with pleas for help, if rumors hold true* the horrors o£Questhaven sound overwhelming for any one person to face alone. A few locations that are glor rjfied tin the tales of Questhaven are the stòrie s*of thè abandoned i insane asylum and the legendary cult house. With gates anà barbed wire lining the property, an old wooden fence sign deCojates the entrance to the ruins pf the rumored insane asylum with sleeping elves shyly painted on Back road leading through Questhaven and surrouriding area. The Elfin Forest sign located above the gate into Questhaven. it, reading "Elfin Forest." Behind the torn and defiled fence lays acres ofland and building foundations left in shambles; Defended by? armies of nocturnal spirits and savage animals, the danger of trekking across the depths of Questhaven sounds high from the word of mouth reported accounts ef paranormal activity. As for, the cult house, well, there' are' many mock "Blair Witch" films that high schoolers and amateur filmmakers Have endeavored to n ^ e ^ g n , the Questionable cult pfoperty. Most of which describe scenes of nooses hanging from burned trees, broken bones and skulls crushed into the mulch and brush, unearthly cackles and noises flying around in the night air—the rumors have even fabled that when said filmmakers go back to review their footage that there is just black static that fills the screen and curdling screams that sound off in the distance. Furthermore, what would Questhaven be if there weren't spinetingling urban myths attached to fend off the faint of heart? When researching Questhaven, there are a few prevalent myths, as well as others that rise to the top. The first tells a tale of a ten-foot white owl that roams the midnight and * moon-laden sky above the spooky trees. The make informed, he confident cholci 7 60 .744.13 ghostly owl sneaks .about preying on naive young people who enter the forest. If the visitors are in their ear, the owl lands atop of the car and possesses several ways of murdering the vehicle's passengers. If the visitors are on foot, it swoops down to capture them and sacrifices them. There are other stories about the owl; however, many do hot speak of the owl iri fear of repercussion. The second myth tells of a witch that haunts Elfin Forest. Stories of the witch solicit extreme caution should one choose to enter the forest, for hers is the deadliest and scariest of stories. The witch has been in the forest since the persecution of the Gypsies. She rides the roads of the forest on a ghost black stallion. With a black cloak the covers her face and body, the night-riding ghost horse and witch have omnipotent vision and senses and can feel when a stranger or intruder has entered the forest. It is said that once one enters the forest and Questhaven, that then the witch marks that person, leaving no physical indication, but more of a spiritual mark on that person so that if that person were to ever enter the forest again, that they would then be killed instantly by the witch. Those who have experienced this tell tales of hearing no hoof prints or galloping stallion, no; that the witch and her mountfloatalong in the shadows. Never in clear sight, her victims will never really know what they see when .they, witness her. It is also rumored that by chance if victims do see her eyes, as they pierce a ray of green light, that they are immediately killed. Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pride There are also stories of drivers killing themselves because the witch follows their vehicle in the trailing shadows, invoking complete insanity, and sometimes paralysis, then causing the driver to steer their car into an oncoming tre% ledge, or cliff, ©ther tales of haunted spirits ^nd; paranormal activity attSchedloihisforea * rumor 6f tree;? that ble|d, a ghost lady dressed in^whiTi-that follows hikers throughout the trails, native American bodies hanging from trees, shadow people that hide in the shrubbery, and other weird apparitions that possess the speculated Native American burial grounds. Upon further investigation, it has been found that there is a religious retreat center, called the "Questhaven Retreat, Church of the Holy Quest," that sits on 640 acres of wilderness. Some speculate that it is this retreat center, which was erected in the early 1940s that is mistaken for the insane asylum and the cult house. However, there are no official records that haves been found linking that theory, or linking the legends to the retreat center. As there is no record of any insane asylum existing in Elfin Forest, Harmony Grove, or Questhaven, rumors apparently hold more weight in the chance of experiencing supernatural activity. For now, Questhaven truly remains a mystery, as the stories and sensations that haunt it continue to be aggravated by the growing population of inhabitants. One thing remains certain though, no one will ever really know what lies beneath Questhaven or lurks in the shadows in Elfin Forest. MI^nädS 277 S.

The ghost punches, the throwing of a fight so we can have De La Hoya vs. Mosley 2.1 think the fans of professional boxing are tired of fixed fights or two guys dancing around each other because both of them are afraid to throw a punch. The fighters of professional boxing are afraid to hurt the product: their face. Therefore, they dodge a few punches so their pretty face won't get hurt, or they throw a few jabs, sit back, and let the time run o ut The fighters of the UFC risk their bodies and faces to earn the respect of the fans. A cut over their eye or gash to the head due to a vicious elbow will get a fighter a $5,000 contract with a company to promote their product on their shorts the next time they fight. Boxing is all grown up now; it's an old man on his death bed. Only a cure of a Heavyweight Champion or a big rivalry will save the old man of boxing. We have a better chance of seeing Tyson offer the other side of his face for a tattoo advertisement than we do of boxing being revived. In the past five years boxing has given us two, maybe three greatfightsthat made us walk backwards into the kitchen for more chips so we wouldn't miss a knockout. The others were so uneventful that we actual went to the store for more chips and decided to stop off and get gas.

The event took place on Thursday, October 26, in the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. Approximately 70 people attended the reading according to Mark Wallace, an assistant professor of Literature and Writing Studies here at CSUSM. Dinh has traveled all over the globe, and the knowledge of other cultures appears in his writing style. He has written two collections of stories, three books of poems, and a series of anthologies. He is currently working on a novel. Dinh chose to read from "Borderless Bodies," "American Tatts," and "Blood and Soap." "Mark managed to place an article about the reading in the Union-Tribune. I knew, or at least hoped, that ordinary people would be coming to the reading, not just students. I decided to read poems and stories that ordinary people could relate to. I'm not an academic person but a blue collar, mostly self-taught guy who writes poems," said Dinh. "Before my recent breaks, I was a regular working class dude. I spent 15 years as Drink of the Week a housepainter, and 3 years as a house and office cleaner," said Dinh. Dinh was asked to visit CSUSM because "he's one of the best poets andfictionwriters currently writing in this country," said Wallace. The readings generated much laughter amongst the guests who included CSUSM students and members of the community. I enjoyed all of Dinh's readings. I loved his witty humor and play on words. Despite the immense laughter, Dinh's readings sent quivers to my heart and waves to my brain. My favorite parts were "nude pictures of you sold back to you at a discount" and "working jobs that were beneath him knowing that it was punishment for leaving his family behind and the chaos that awaited him upon return." The majority of Dinh's readings were short prose poems. He also read multiple one-sentence stories. I never imagined so much content could be contained between the first capital letter of a sentence and the ending period. "[My favorite part was] his sense of humor. I didn't expect to laugh so much. I also loved his paradoxical love poems and the one sentence stories," said Lea Vergara, a Literature and Writing Studies major. "It is very hard to be a writer in this society, You will have many challenges ahead of you, but if writing is something If you are feeling like you missed out, that you must do, something that you must it's because you did.

Within recent years however, in San Diego County particularly, red ales have become increasingly popular and available. Last week we tried AleSmith's Evil Dead Red; this week we'll look at local red ale: Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red. Brewed and served at all three of Pizza Port's breweries, this delicious microbrew is also available in bottle and as a draft in some local bars. To understand what makes red ales different and unique first requires a little brewing background. After a beer has been initially brewed, it enters into a stage of fermentation. At this point, the brewer adds (or "pitches" as it's called) yeast to the brew. This yeast converts sugars present in the brew into juicy cocktail, however, I sat up and took notice. I confess to being enchanted by its name, the source of so many legends.

The various types of yeast used, and the temperature it is done at, determine whether the beer will eventually become an ale or a lager. When brewers first began making beer they could only create ale. This is because ales are brewed in warm temperatures with top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) over a short period of time. As refrigeration was introduced and brewers learned to work with and manipulate yeast, lagers, which are brewed for longer periods of time in colder temperatures with bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum), became the most popular beers. Red beers were created after the legalization of home brewing in 1976. Home brewers, trying new and innovative techniques, discovered that by using certain malts in the mash, they could create a beer with unique red, burgundy and amber hues. These beers, which usually contained car- amel or roasted malts, have unique colors and flavors. These brews can be used to create both ales and lagers. Due to the popularity of red beers, some breweries have begun adding red dye to some beers and claiming that they are red beers. This practice detracts from the unique taste and innovative style of real red beers, giving them a bad name. Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, on the other hand, is an excellent example of an excellent red beer. The beer pours a burgundy red with a thin,fizzy,white head/The head generally fades fairly quickly leaving little sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. As it pours you can also begin to smell the 9.2% alcohol by volume Content in the beer's aroma. Brewed with Centennial and Cascade hops, it smells full and hoppy, but fully balanced with lots of rich malts and a hint of citrus. It's not particularly high in carbonation, but it also doesn't have an overly flat feel tp it. This beer has a very sweet and toasty malt taste. Like most San Diego ales however, it is also deliriously hoppy with a noticeable alcohol bite. Shark Attack Red is a very fullbodied beer with a bold mouth feel. Its aftertaste is nutty, spicy and hoppy. With such strong flavors* and high alcohol content, however, it is definitely a red beer best enjoyed one or two at most in a session. �Tuesday, October 31,2006 il iX/ J^ THE PRIDE CD Review: Keep your "Eyes Open" for Snow Patro BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer ^ ^¡f* ^ It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core— and rim away with it. Snow Patrol does no less, in fact, much more than that. From Ireland, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths, and aptitude -for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Probably the best cut off the new record is "Chasing Cars." With its deep message, exquisite instrumentation, and brutal yet beautiful lyrics, "Chasing Cars" hushes my soul to ease, begging me to close my eyes and just let go. An honest and introspective love song, the breathtaking insight poured into the song offers the listener a ballad that embraces the essence of drama. Photos courtesy of www.snowpatrol.com Having spent the past two years on the road, traveling the globe amidst the splash of "Run," their prior anthem off the 2004 release "Final Straw," Snow Patrol spent much of 2005 recording "Eyes Open" along the Irish coastline. In a studio that allowed the members of Snow Patrol to awaken to waves crashing at the foot of the cliffs below them, Snow Patrol slowly breathed life into "Eyes Open," capturing the sensory effects of living on the edge of a cliff. Theater Review: BY BRANDI BLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer Admittedly, I found the disclaimer for the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Department's new production, "Wonder of the World," intriguing. A play at CSUSM with mature language and adult themes? Let me assure you it is not a caution, but a promise. David Lindsay-Abaire's sometimes odd, sometimes touching writing propels this work to its climax with laughs to spare. This two-hour play directed by Katie Rodda is a delight and, with plenty of genuine, my-tummyhurts laughs along the way, will leave you wondering where the time went. The story begins with the captivating scene of a woman packing. Cass, played by Jessica Swan, is leaving her life behind for a chance at a more exciting one. When her ( A|r^|fcissi|iger) |feoi|es marriage troubles surface and we^re ^brtoelled ita | oy^\y|(|ass thrfrugh^hdr jotlrney. Along her voyage, Cass meets—scratch that—barges her "Make This Go On Forever" is my next favorite track. The tempo of "Make This Go On Forever" paces and then drops off with a lone piano pounding away in the background, creating a feeling of a grandeur, sounding like the beginning of what could build into a one-song record. Gary Lightbody, vocalist and song-crafter for the five-piece band, empties so much grief into this song through his voice. lt is truly moving. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" projects a slight Sigur Ros feeling within the vocals and ambient textures, but the building of the duet between Lightbody and Martha Wainwright is classic Snow Patrol: soft and piercing. . I am also very partial to the album's closer, "The Finish Line." Wrapping up the ten tracks with echoing Celtic vocals lingering above the breathy pauses, the vocals and song construction sound much more natural for Lightbody than some of the other tracks do, showcasing a more culturally native side of Snow Patrol that isn't as prevalent in other releases. A song that feels patriotic in the sense that it's patriotic to Snow Patrol, "The Finish Line" contains crisp lyrics and layers upon layers of textured sound effects. A fitting end to a solid effort put forth by Snow Patrol, the album as a whole, "Eyes Open," will surely open your eyes to both a new and inspiring side of Snow Patrol, as well as the old and soothing side of Snow Patrol that many have grown to admire. Wonder of the World way into the lives of strangers she comes across. She meets fellowtraveler, alcoholic, and sidekick, Lois (Bridget Henwood), curious couple Glen (Omar Yanez) and Karla (Celeste Dawn Beattie), the charming Captain Mike (Patrick Wenk-Wolff); and the strange, oddly-familiar marriage therapist, Janie (Arielle Rosenbaum). This funny, chaotic tale is driven by strong performances. Jessica Swan is wonderful in her naïve and alarmingly forward role as Cass. Whether its exclaiming to sidekick Lois, "Let's be lesbians!" or informing thè captain of her boat tour that she would like to have sex with him that evening, Swan's straightforward delivery lends credibility to Cass and punch to the laughs. Half the fun, though, is watching other characters react to Ker. Henwood, Kissinger, and Wenk-Wolff also provide stand-out performances as the characters thai drive Cass to Photo by Brandi Blahnik / The Pride action and question her "weird" qualities. When we finally find the many characters of "Wonder of the World'* together in a room, the result is a dynamic explosion of personalities which can only be managed with, that's right, an episode of "The Newlyweds" game show. Without saying too much, rest assured this play will force you to look a t Barbie heads in a disturbingly new way. Writer Ljndsay-Abaire weaves the stories of his characters together, leaving us to ponder the role of fate in our lives. Each character touches the life of the next without seeming to know it. It's unclear whether the "wonder" he speaks of is as tangible as Niagra Falls, or rather an idea about coincidences and their effects on our lives. Though there are plenty of laughs, the subtext of the play asks the more serious question of how we make decisions or, let then* be dictated for l^^ll f / * "Woi^ei^oMie W6rld" tfecSledly receives 5 paws and is well wortlf the $5 student ticket price.

Each student listened to the stories of one of three, people. At the beginning of each recording, as the student pressed play, the constant thump of a heartbeat immediately dropped the student into the mindset of Olivia, Steven, or Beatrice. As students walked through a certain path in the tent, a specific map of where they had been placed in Africa would allow them to further develop the mentality of the person's life they were going to experience. Following the voice on the recorder, students listened to the life of the person they had become, and eventually had to enter a health clinic where students were given a red stamp on their hand proclaiming them to be HIV positive or negative. If a student was declared positive, they had to wait for a student pronounced HIV negative to take them by the hand and lead them Photo By Amanda Andreen / The Pride out of the tent.

The posters read: Environmental, Medical, Political, Spiritual and Cultural, pertaining to the five main aspects of Africa that need support. For instance, below Political, the poster asked students to pray for leaders to may make wise decisions about funding and providing support. After about fifteen minutes, the impact of these stories and images had the potential to shake students to their very core. As some students walked out of the tent with tears in their eyes, others could hardly put into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad, especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save somebody or not." After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the tent with a large red positive stamp on her hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People shun each other because they don't know enough, if people learn about HIV, then it would help." As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing them of letters they could write to local congressmen. ICF also directed students to their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an impact themselves. Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus involvement with the tent went far beyond what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore, The Africa Tent will remain on campus until Thursday, October 12. ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape, yes there's poverty. These are all the issues we've heard about but it doesn't hit home imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know that we can do something about this and that God does care."

"About 10 students participated in helping the kids make masks," said Bigonger. "Maskmaking at CSUSM has happened before. This is thefirsttime that ELC has participated. I hope that it is a recurring event because the kids really enjoyed it," said Bigonger. Broomball is played in a similar fashion to hockey, except that players do not wear skates, a ball is used in place of a puck, and players use a rubber-tipped broom shaped stick. The Sixth Annual Masquerade Ball finished off Fever Week on Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball is a huge tradition that most of t CSUSM students look forward to every year," says Mathews. "The [Masquerade] Ball took place at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego. The venue was huge and very appealing for our students. ASI had a total of 1,000 tickets for students and the tickets were sold out on Tuesday, October 3. It was very exciting for ASI. The Masquerade Ball wasfreefor students and only $15 for guests. There were free hors d'oeuvres and drinks. A cash bar was available for students over 21," said Mathews. Fever Week will not happen for another year, so plan ahead of time. Go Cougars!

Much to their surprise, the tryouts reached an all time record as 31 students gathered to compete at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside. Taking on unpredictable two to three foot peaks, with short windows of clean conditions, student surfers gave it their all, parading their skills to the nearby onlookers and panel ofjudges.

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Staff Writer All of those who feel the feud in the Ultimate Fighting Championship between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should finally tap out, raise your hand. One fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame and the other will soon be there—once he decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago and should have stayed gone. But due to his first embarrassing loss to the younger, well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta, he came back for another embarrassing loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There was also huge hype surrounding the fight. As part of the marketing for the fight, the reality television show "The Ultimate Fighter" had two teams competing under the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito Ortiz respectively. At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18 in the first round. The fight was deemed controversial because Shamrock claimed that he was okay to continue fighting. It looked like a young punk mugging an old man in the alley. It was sad. That entire fight card was a waste of time and money. It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/ Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The only thing exciting this time around is that the fight will be free on Spike TV. UFC President Dana White does not feel that fans should have to pay to see this ridiculous feud once again. I have to admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz will do this time. Will the Huntington Beach bad boy do his typical ground and pound? For those of you who don't know what ground and pound is, it's when you take your opponent down and begin to unload punches and elbows to their face. It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is not a chump; he was the man back when the UFC first started. Shamrock used to roll over anyone who stepped into the octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the octagon. For those of you who aren't busy on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out and give him the oF ground and pound.

It was only a matter of time before the men won an event, given the team's sparkling performances thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia, who has been nothing short of amazing this season. Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew away the field, beating the second-place runner by a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting excited about. Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has really stepped up her cross-country performance this year, and helped the team reach the next level. While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side, Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished in the top 20 as well. On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet, finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin, and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively. Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams, and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals on November 4. Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes, which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't attached to colleges.

It found Drummond's foot, and she volleyed the shot into the net to give the Cougars the 3-2 win. Though Drummond accounted for all the scoring, the entire team played a very good game on Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith controlled the ball and was able to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created scoring chances throughout the day. On the back line, Alex Quindt played arguably her best game of the season, and Lucia Asbury continued to be very impressive after making the transition from forward to defense. Defender Lica Martinez also played a very strong game. Overall it was a great effort for the Cougars in front of fee home crowd at Mangrum Field. The women will try to keep the momentum rolling on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick off a stretch of five consecutive road games. Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2 Women's Soccer Wins Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2 October 3,2006 Though their season got off to .a tough start, the Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday, the squad tallied a 5-2 victory over Claremont-McKenna, its second-straight win. Tuesday's win marks the first ever road victory for the program, and it comes against a Claremont-McKenna squad that entered the game .with a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe season. Thus, the match also marks the team's first victory over a team with a winning record. CSUSM controlled the action for most of the game. At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury goal. Courtney Drummond, who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep in the opponent's territory, and Kelly Wherry took the free kick. She made the most of it, hitting a perfect cross to the other side of the box. The ball found Asbury, and she volleyed it into the top of the net past the helpless keeper. Early in the second half, the Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved again - but this time as the goal scorer. The Cougars earned a free kick 25 yards out, and Wherry was chosen again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck a beautiful shot, curling the ball into the corner of the net past the outstretched arms of the keeper. Claremont-McKenna fought back to make the score 2-1, but CSUSM refused to allow them to equalize, half-way through the second half, the Cougars once again earned a free kick in the offensive zone. Lucia Asbury took it this time, but found Kelly Wherry in the box. Though she didn't hit the header she intended, Wherry managed to deflect the ball into the net for her second goal of the game. Not long after, the Cougars pushed the score to 4-1. Defender Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top of the defense, connecting with forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo struck a nice right-footed shot into the low corner of the net to give the Cougars a three-goal lead. After Claremont-McKenna scored on a free kick of their own, the Cougars once again answered, removing any doubt about what the outcome of the game would be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry as two-goal scorers for the game. After receiving a routine pass from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal, where she launched a rainbow shot towards the net. The shot caught everyone off-guard, including the opposing keeper, who couldn't prevent it from sailing over her head and into the net. The 5-2 score would hold up, giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory. In what was by far their most impressive showing on offense all year, the Cougars nearly matched their cumulative season total for goals scored, which stood at six before Tuesday's game. Still, Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen was quick to praise the team's back line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury, Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and Lica Martinez played a terrific game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never allowing them to cut deeply into the Cougars' lead. With the squad playing its best soccer yet, they hope to keep the momentum rolling through four more consecutive road games. Next, the squad will head up to Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa Cruz on October 7, then Menlo College the following day. p �BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Last weekend, following the brilliant advice from my girlfriend, we ditched all responsibility, packed our bags and departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend what would turn out to be one of the most unforgettable weekends of our lives surrounded by one of Nature's most incredible landscapes. Yosemite: one of the few places on Earth that defies explanation. To describe it in words is to insult it. Even with the accompanying photos, the sheer magnitude and splendor of the place is lost. If you haven't been, go. If you have only been once, go again. If you are one of the lucky few to have visited multiple times, let this story encourage you to go again. To some, an eight hour drive (one way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol- lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours of distraction may sound ludicrous. To others, it is just the cure for a life filled with monotony. Whether you're smitten and in love or single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can be one of the most memorable journeys of your life. So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and gliding along the valley floor surrounded by towering granite mountains, hiking up the back of Half Dome to see one of the world's most breathtaking views, or getting attacked by fearless raccoons as you eat your overpriced pizza and indulge in a well-deserved drink after a long day in paradise—your tinje spent in Yosemite will be short lived and long remembered. To all you fellow Cougars: take this writer's advice and spend at least a weekend escaping in Yosemite, you won't regret it. �fidfe B tfeteff B ohemians ( 8 ^MBMMHI _ >-;• r i u f t i e $10; ; i . » • . v.. l o s Tycaoes •••••I Shankar (8pm llCSb $34-36) { Spro C e n t e r for t h e A rts,.Esoondido $24-57} •iSm FieWHoii^l' •pi ' RANCH* • CSpm House o fBIues i $1&~$20) 111 ¡ ¡¡I¡ill v^s'i^M-i',; it- 'miiiM-¿.j/• San Marcos West (760) 510-1997 i pätetoSante! j �10 Tuesday, October lO, 2006 10, OPINION V/l T H E P RIDE AIDS : COMPASSION IN A FRICA "The AIDS Crisis: Can you survive the journey of a child?" Intervarsity Christian Fellowship As dusk arrives and the orange sun disappears behind the cloudy sky, I walk through Palm Court on my way to begin my AIDS experience. Unsure of what to expect, and fairly confident that the contents of the tent will have a significant impact on me, I've brought my younger sister along with me to share the experience. Friendly and encouraging students from Intervarsity Christian Fellowship gather near the entrance of the tent waiting to greet us. We are handed headphones attached to a small media player, and a lantern to lead us through the night-filled tent. "Wait in front of the curtain" we are told. My sister goes in first. She steps behind the fabric wall and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light can still be seen. I step in front of the beaded curtain and turn on my headphones. Sounds of a bustling street, voices, and animals—all sounds of Africa surround me, call to me. I am instructed to go into the next room. It is empty. I sit down and I can still hear the noises of Africa dancing around me, I think I can even sense the various smells of Africa wade through the room. A voice comes on. It is a man. His name is Jalima, he will guide my journey tonight, he tells me. Walking into the next room I find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name on each doorway, as there is a name printed on my media player: Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice starts to speak. I cross through Beatrice's entrance and without realizing it, I am transported into an entirely new world, taking on the mindset of Beatrice. Immediately I am introduced to Beatrice's life. She is seven and lives with her older, pregnant sister. Both of her parents died when she was younger. A series of pictures are in front of me, giving a face to Beatrice's name and her fragile voice. Images of poverty and disease, sorrow and despair, line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map. "You live in Zambia," Jalima tells me. I read the map and learn that Zambia has a population just over 11 million people. 1.2 million of those inhabitants are orphaned children, and 1.7 million of the entire population is HIV+ or has AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics about Zambia, I slowly move into the next room. I am now standing in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged clothes and dirt-tattered blankets are strewn about on the ground. I turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited because your sister is going to have her baby today," Jalima tells me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive tools and abandoned babies. In red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I stop and find myself searching the images and the imaginary scene in my head for an answer, "Your sister has just died in child birth," he answers. "No! She can't!" I silently yell to myself. The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your sister had a baby girl. They have named her Myriam," he states. "But no one is claiming her. Your grandmother says she cannot afford to feed another mouth, and Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side: *The room displaying Olivia's living quarters was just one of three displays students were able to view. *For each student's AIDS experience, they received a hand stamp corresponding to the HIV test results o f the person's life they experienced. *l received a negative result; my sister received a positive result. *After being diagnosed HIV positive or HIV negative, students continued their journey into a waiting room filled with hundreds of photos of people with HIV and AIDS. *At the end of their journey, students were encouraged to make a bracelet to remember their experience by. your other relatives are beginning to back away from the infant," explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice. "You stand there in silence " he tells Beatrice, just as I stand there listening in silence, "looking at the tiny baby nobody wants." What would you do if you were Beatrice? You stand there, the silence continuing to grow, until something inside of you aches, and you say, "I'll take her." How different would your life be? Only seven years old, orphaned, now with a baby? You have no mother, no father, no sister, no one at all except this tiny new life you have in your arms. No one wanted baby Myriam, and now this baby needs you more than you've ever needed anything. "The days go by and Myriam will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give her and no way of getting food. Each day gets harder and harder watching the other children in the village run and play and attend school. They used to be your friends, and that used to be you. You rummage through the streets, scavenging for food and water for you and little Myriam. You try to go and work and do small things to earn wages but Myriam doesn't like to be away from you. She doesn't like to be left alone, and she cries incessantly when you don't hold her." "Somehow, you and Myriam manage to survive for two years, you cannot believe it," he says. "But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her own even though she is two years old, and now her fingers, toes, and eyes have become infested with fleas and open sores.

You can see in her eyes that she is nice, and she offers to take care of you and Myriam," Jalima rejoices. The next room has the words "Health Clinic" and an arrow in yellow lettering painted on the wall. "Beatrice," Jalima tells me, "because your sister had HIV, and because your mother had HIV, we - . itive or HIV negative." The health clinic is a small room with three wooden benches. Long white bed sheets hang against the walls and there are large positive and negative signs stamped in red on the sheets above the benches. My sister sits across the room from me. We are instructed to wait. We will be told whefi it is time to get up and receive our test don't know if you and Myriam results. My sister goes first, gets her test results arid then leaves the room. A few minutes later it is my t urn. Not knowing her results, or even if I myself will be HIV positive, I stand up and walk towards the window.

A fat, red, negative sign stretches across the width of my fist. Jalima tells me to proceed to the waiting room. He warns me that there might be Lanterns in one hand, and holding each other's hand with the other, we stop in front of a prayer wall. There are hundreds of prayers: prayers for healing, prayers for grace and understanding, prayers for forgiveness and love—and for a cure. A tear falls off my cheek as I set my lantern down to write a prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am overcome with many questions, like why does there have to be so much suffering in the world? So much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible four-letter disease: AIDS? Just why? More importantly I was left asking what can we do about it? How can we stop it? And how can we help? Through my whole journey that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to contemplate what her life must have been like. How would I have kept faith in the face of such disparity? How did she keep her -faith? I guess all I can come up with for the millions of people affected by HIV and AIDS, for the millions of people dying today in Africa, the millions who have already died, and for the millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it, is that there is hope. The Africa Tent is just one way offering hope.

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11 September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that affected the whole world. It changed life as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as we watched planes barrel into the World Trade Center buildings, as well as the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations. People who felt they had no other option jumped to their deaths from 80 stories high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they could. The best in human character was brought out as well as the worst. In our local community, schools and businesses closed. Friends and families gathered together. We tried to find ways to handle the rush of emotions we were all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and prayo^for people to be pulled out alive from the rubble. Sadly, more were found dead than alive. Five years later, we as Americans should not allow ourselves to forget the catastrophe that occurred that shook us all to the core. As an active student on this campus, I am appalled that this sacred day was not remembered by our college campus or its leaders. I have been a member of Alpha Chi Omega for the last three years, and have been aware of ASI and other campus events throughout this time through other involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My cohorts sat in class all Monday and they looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I had nothing to report on. A special edition of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of remembrance was not observed, and our precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners together and honor those that perished on September 11th. I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written and I find at the very bottom of the front page a small rectangle stating: "We Will Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the pages and found the largest, article about alcohol and Mexican food without any other mention of September 11. How is it that margaritas and burritos deserve more words in our paper than those names of lives that paid the ultimate price? One semester a student organization put crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg Library. Each cross represented soldiers that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of protest against the war. However, nothing was done in remembrance of the 2,749 innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University will remind the future youth of this world about the tragedy that happened. Youth need to be taught that we cannot allow something like this to happen again. This college claims in its own mission statement that it "exposes us to issues and traditions of the United States and other countries." The tradition of American patriotism and how this attack affected other countries as well as our own was completely ignored on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and women we must examine the moral and ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped us survive the loss of human life. "This history is affecting our present and will continue to have a lasting affect on our future. We need to understand the human behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that allowed fellow human beings to commit such horror. I am writing this to vent, but I also want answers. Why did the President of this University not arrange a campus-wide moment of silence? Why did The Pride not publish a list of names of those that were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a remembrance activity during University Hour? Why did the college staff not unite and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was our American Flag not even lowered to half-mast? Why was this day completely ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi Omega, and the rest of the student body of this university deserve an honest answer to describe such senselessness. In regards to the daily position of the American Flag, Section 7.e of the United States Flag code states that: "The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs" (emphasis added). Unless we have misread this code, the flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law. Completely Disappointed, Ashley Campbell Member of Alpha Chi Omega Graduate Student and Alumni Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum from Gal State University San Marcos I am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni are being treated by ASI. I have been going to Masquerade Ball for four years now, one year as an alum. To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM. I have been trying to get to the ASI office before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different times, [but]for a working professional it can be very difficult to get there by that particular time. Each time I was only late by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed with nobody inside. I decided to call the ASI office to see if there was someway to arrange one single ticket for myself to the Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist at ASI. The message was that Alumni are not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets for the Masquerade Ball. First of all, I have been to Masquerade Ball before as an alum and did not have trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me? Second, is this how the school treats its own Alumni? By telling alumni that they are no longer allowed at CSUSM functions since they aren't a student anymore? I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have never felt like I have been treated with such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the list, seeing that it is difficult for them to obtain tickets to the dance because most alumni are working professionals. Is this what we are telling prospective students? Sure, attend our school, but once you are Alumni you are no longer welcome? I honestly feel like the school has spit in my face; and at the same time the school is asking me for monetary contributions to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels my concern and shares it with the entire student body, because it seems to be the only organization on campus that isn't spitting in the face of the Alumni. Raul Montero jpÈÉJMtì^^ The Pride reminds you to: We CAN make adifference!

That is totally fine by us, so instead of doing our usual thing and telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake things up a bit and venture into uncharted territory for this, edition of Drink of the Week. So, if you aren't of age yet, are taking a week off from the bars to detox, or just enjoy reading what the drink of the week is, then read on my friends, read on! For those ofyou Starbucks aficionados out Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride there, this DotW is right up your alley. And for those of you who are anti-Starbucks or have never experienced a Starbucks drink, the new line of autumn-inspired drinks at Starbucks might just tickle your fancy. Along with the seasonal pumpkin-flavored lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks, there are also new maple syrup flavored drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within the past week that this syrupy delight has invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide. What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask? Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known as a Grande), your local barista would start with three pumps of maple syrup, then add steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your very own Maple Macchiato. I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like drinking pancakes, and it's really just like drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much. But if you've ever gone to Denny's and wished you could combine your Pancake Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, this drink is a match made in heaven for your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple Macchiato goes a long way, so as with many things in life, the general rule "less is more" is definitely appropriate to apply to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy! Beer of the Week Samuel Adams Octoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer For almost two hundred years, the Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has been celebrated in countries around the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest is celebrated with drinking specially brewed beers and traditional dishes in large public tents. This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15 days until the first Sunday in October. That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest brew. While it may be on par with German Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy head that lasts for several minutes. The beer's smell is complex, malty and sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit of spice. In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers, it is darker, stronger and spicier than its year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by volume versus the 4.9% of the typical Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in color. The beer has four malts: Crystal, Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all of which can clearly be tasted over the hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and a dry but pleasant aftertaste. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good session beer, or it can be easily paired with a variety of heartier dishes. It is available from August through October, as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six and twelve packs. When the Oktober- é ÊÊPÊtb fest season comes to a close it is always a sad- ^ ^ K f l dening time, but this year, it is especially poignant time. Last week a raging fire in Yakima, Washington destroyed 4% of the United States' beer brewing hops. While the beer industry Will survive, it is an u n f o r t u n a t e .*§ event which ^ robbed the S beer drinkers ° of this country of so many © delicious hops. & In respect to s both thé end of the season and this terrible loss, it's only appropriate to raise a glass of Samuel Adams Octoberfest. wmm Master of Education in Postsecoaáary AdmMstratioa and StudentAffairs Âthlmc Âdmmtmtkm SmâmtAiïms Master of Education Doctor of Education Program Doctor of Phüosoffcf Raided Pkû.

Some kind of saving grace to transport you to an alternate frame of mind or sense of being? Well, look no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn Around" is about to alleviate your bout of existential turmoil. With a soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel rock and total guitar domina- tion, don't be afraid to give good 'ol Jonny his dues when you pop "Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny Lang?!" you're thinking—yes, Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on "Anything's Possible," "don't be deceived, anything is possible." This latest album separates him from his yesteryears, helping him break free from what most of us remember him as: a kid pop-star that broke into the scene around the time of Hanson and the cult followings of boy bands. Keeping that in mind, Jonny's "Turn Around" has inadvertently become the soundtrack for my 2006 whirlwind fall semester at CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different disposition. If it's a pick-me-up or whim of inspiration you need, then "Turn Around" has your name written all over it. Can't stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love Remains" is the song your heart is singing. Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and you just haven't been able to put your finger on it yet? "Only a Man" has the validation you're looking for and will sting you with its comfort and truth. The beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me of a rootsy gospel country hymn, leading me down an imaginative path of self-discovery. Immediately following is the upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving and your soulful rock attitude back in check. I guarantee you'll find yourself rocking out to this one, nodding your head and WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent augmentation for compensation Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement • Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay for health costs for faculty during 2007-08. • Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the same parking fees as students and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang. Even if you're still on the fence regarding the strikingly talented Mr. Lang, take my advice and give "Turn Around" a chance. It's time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out Jack Johnson album a rest and mix things up. What's the worst that could happen? ! for ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l ^ ^ i r d v.

Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see the Vancouver-born actor's new film, "Hot Tamale," in which he plays Jude, a jewel thief on the run. Before he was ushered to his seat, I was able to have a word with Priestly, who had this to say to the aspiring actors at CSUSM: "I always feel like the most impor- The Pride's interview with J ason Priestly tant advice to give young actors is to study [and] to stay in school. The one thing that has reaped more rewards for me as a performer is the fact that I took the time to go to theater school and study my craft. The exceptions to the rule are very few and far between, the exceptions being people who got off a bus in Hollywood and were discovered at the counter in Schwab's drug store. But, the reality is that doesn't happen. The most important thing you can do arid the most important respect that you can pay your craft as a thespian is to study and to understand what it is that you're doing. Once you have that k nowledge, you always have that knowledge to , fall b ack o n. The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater. There are always times in every actor's career where you sort of find yourself floundering, and you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But if you have studied, and if you have the knowledge to fall back on, you can figure it out and the path will become clear." As for his own acting education, Jason Priestly studied under Howard Fine and June Whitaker.

An unpredictable combination of canapés, cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions. The Pride: Do you have any advice for Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers? Markus: First and foremost, getting to the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about making movies, one movie at a time. You tell a great story. Definitely tell a great story. Mason: Tell something that you know Image courtesy of FCB about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be passionate about it. Don't pick something just because you think it's what everybody wants. Pick something that's individual to you. And, if you tell that story, if you get it out to people in a way that connects to them, then your audiences are going to feel it. And it's all about emotions. The movie business is about putting a bunch of moments together that creates an entire feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing, what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We always say do stuff that you're passionate about. Get off the couch. Markus: Making a movie, you're going to invest anywhere from a weekend to a few years into making afilm,depending on what you're doing. And if you're going to do that, you want to focus on something that everyday you're going to be passionate about and inspired to keep doing, because after about a month or a year of making a movie - you've spent your money on it, and you've put your time and your heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the day you're really not going to make a great movie. Mason: Another thing I would love to add is that right now we are so fortunate, because [the] technology that we have today, with cameras like the DVX100A or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And you can make professional quality stuff. So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where 16mm was really expensive and you had to rent the camera. Get your hands on any camera you can and experiment until you find your voice and youfindsomething that works for you. Markus: I'll also say that both of us went tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you went to film school or not, but ultimately what I have seen in the mentors I have had in my life or just the people that have been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera you get better. Every time you tell a story or write something, you get better at it. So [if] somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't] quite work out, do it again, because you will get better each time you do it. Mason: If you are lucky enough that there is somebody around that you admire that is already makingfilms,try to learn as much as you can from them. If there's not, then pick who your favorite filmmaker is and leafn everything about them. Whether it's Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever it is that you love, know as much as you can about how they made their movies and how they got to where they are, so that you can learnfromtheir knowledge. The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker? Mason: We have a couple. Markus: Being the fact that we're the Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is [also] definitely a favorite. Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick. Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All my papers in college were about Kubrick because visually he's amazing. Markus: The way he V H B frames every image I love it. g ^ V But there are so many great and I B B amazing filmmakers. It's more • • like what movies—I love this ^ ffik movie from this filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from another one. And we like a l l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ genres. We're not partial to any one genre. Photos by Mary Foley / The Pride Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter. We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh. The Pride: What made you decide to make "Chasing the Horizon"? Mason: We had written a movie called "Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown [Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit Award for that. And when we did our deal with her, we knew that we had a bit of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a documentary and in documentaries no one has to give you a green light but you, You can put together a small crew of people, get your friends together, people that you trust that are talented, and go out there [and] find something you want to tell a story about. For us, it just happened to be that we're race fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja 1000 which is one of the most famous races in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling, and people try their entire life just to try to win [it]. They will do it year after year, after year, after year. Luckily enough, we met Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted to tell a story that was about a guy who was starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate underdog story. It's a feature documentary about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one man's quest and dream of win-, ning and finishing this race. Filmmaking is about humanity. It's about human beings. We had never made a documentary and doing a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went out to make this [documentary] as close to exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a class, I would have people go out and make documentaries first so [they] can see what reality looks like on film. Now that we're going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it feels like a performance... Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has a moment that feels forced. And I say that really confidently because we spent a lot of time to make sure that everything that was in it was exactly how it went down. We never asked the guys in it, like some reality TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that line," or, "We need you to fight with that guy." The reason people connect to [our film] is because it's real. And people did connect to "Chasing the Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary later that evening. Expressing both their happiness and their surprise, the Canter brothers were defiantly flying high that night. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bratwurst sausages, lederhosen, and kegs are the traditional makings of an Oktoberfest, and there was no shortage of any of those elements at this year's celebration. Hosted by ASI's Multicultural Programs and the German Club, the animated festivities were held this year in the Library Plaza, with free sausages and a keg of root beer available during University Hour to hungry students. Dressed in traditional German attire, men in lederhosen, and the women of the German Club in dirndls, members of the German Club paraded around campus holding signs for free bratwurst and beverages.

Each session promises women easy to learn self-defense tactics as a method of rape prevention. According to CSUSM student Lisa Lim, the RAD class has proven to reach beyond that goal. Last year Lim participated in the RAD program. She was worried that she wasn't physically equipped and before the class began she asked herself, "Will I be strong enough?" The relevance of body size and physical strength, however, are trumped by the reality based effectiveness of the techniques that women learn during class sessions. By the end of the course Lim fought off people dressed in aggressor suits, with her eyes closed. Lim says, "The i nductor is so positive and encouraging thlS it's easier to feel empowered and it's a lot easier to go through." Officer Yosaren Panza is one of the instructors of the RAD course; others also include Casey Burns, Sarah Derho and Cathy Nguyen.

This question was one of many asked by €SUSM students last Monday, October 9, at an event made possible by the Women's Center. Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author joked, "One." The crowd of fifty broke out in laughter; Savage laughed then said, "If you honor and respect yourself, there is no such thing as too many." Before Savage collected anonymous questions on index cards from students, she set out to empower men and women to enjoy pleasure as a God-given right that should not be dictated by anyone else. "Our sexuality is energy," Savage said, stressing what she called a readiness factor that includes the mental, physical, and emotional aspects that factor into having sex. As Savage said, "We are sold an image which isn't true and it is an image how to have 'hot sex.' It's the culture we live in; it's what we are socialized to [believe]." It's an idea Savage disagrees with, the idea that sex is all about having an orgasm. "There's so much more to be experienced than just, quick, let's get off." Savage went on to explain her performance and pleasure model. She asked the crowd about the movies and television they've seen with all the 'hot sex.' Then she said that the majority of sex seen in the movies is based on the performance model and people can reflect what they've seen and worry too much about just having an orgasm instead of having sex for pleasure. "In their heads, they are too worried about the experience and making their partner happy and focusing too much on genitals."

Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author speaks at event. After passing out flyers to the crowd, Savage read each myth then gave tips for everyone on how to have a healthy sexual relationship with their partners. This advicç included communication, throwing away the performance model and focusing on pleasure, creating a seductive setting together, letting go of preconceived notions and listening to your partner. In all her years of experience as a sexual therapist, Savage said, "The number one role problem is over focus on partner." As for desire discrepancy, she said, "It is the number one problem in couple relationships." Myth number four states; "It's easy to tell who has more désire and who has less desire in a relationship." Savage stressed, "Low desire is Myth#3 Sex should h e natural a n d spontaneous.

S II not a lack of love." Then joked, "Don't listen to Oprah." The crowd laughed, and then she read more questions students asked on their index cards. One question read, "How often should we have sex?" To which Savage replied, "There is no such thing as a normal amount." "How do we get over Catholic guilt?" another student asked. Savage replied, "Respect yourself, love • ¡«J yourself, [and] don't look for someone to tell you what to do." This led to her advice for virgins. "If any one of you remains a virgin until marriage, I wouldn't even suggest having intercourse that night. Just petting and touching each other." She ended her speech by promoting safe sex to everyone, and said, "To touch, to love, that is sex. You don't have to have an orgasm." W hat is a lawyer? A debater? A fighter? Or more t han that?

C ALIFORNIA WESTERN S C H O O L O F L AW | S a n D i e g o What law school ought to be! �How to get your foot in tho door at law schoo BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer If you're applying for law school for 2007, this time of year may be the most important part of your academic career. You're entering or finishing your senior year, and these last grades before graduation will be most heavily scrutinized by law schools. While applications for law schools aren't due for a few months (application deadlines generally fall between January 1 and March 31), admissions officers and successful applicants know that by mid-October you should be well into the admissions process. "If you want to get accepted to a law school, make sure you've sent your application in before Thanksgiving," is the conventional wisdom for applying to most law schools. Some even claim that Thanksgiving is too late and that late October is when law school applications should be submitted. Unfortunately, in order to have your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score delivered before November, you need to have already taken the test. So if you haven't taken it yet, you'll most likely be looking at a 2008 admission date. If this is the case, starting now will help out greatly for next fall. For this year's applicants though, it's almost certain that completing your application as soon as possible will help enormously. Most law schools have rolling admissions, meaning that your application is evaluated as soon as they get it. In these cases they will fill available spaces for the coming year as they read through applications, meaning that if your application isn't in early, it won't even be considered. But even at schools that do not have rolling admissions, applying early will often be in your best interest. Admissions officers will sometimes assume students who apply early have a more serious interest in ¿heir school and give their applications more consideration. This competitive edge can mean the difference between getting an acceptance or a rejection letter. Still, just filling out die forms on time is not the only consideration. There are a few things that can keep even well-meaning and punctual applicants from getting their applications : jjjHltlffl ¡$mñ nj*i tTi < > . . • I m sJL J 1 mêm ¡LASOS« lûmisMm W second-straightfifthplace finish.

Admissions offices are also often overloaded with requests from other students during application periods, so starting the process early is imperative to being successful. Be aware that some schools require you to fax in your request for transcripts or even request transcripts in person, so transcripts should be requested at least a month in advance if possible, to avoid potential problems and delays. At the same time, applicants should be working on gathering their letters of recommendation. It comes as a surprise to some students, but they aren't the only people who procrastinate; bosses, professors and advisors do it too. This means that it is both polite and prudent to give those you ask for letters of recommendations at least a month to write them. Applicants should also give those writing their letters a clear idea of when the letter needs to be completed and sent to the LSAC. It also doesn't hurt to politely remind them about writing your letter of recommendation every so often, to keep it fresh i n their minds. As the saying goes, "timing is everything." If you're behind in applying, there's still time to get things done in time, but it will require a little extra effort to catch up. And for those that don't think they'll be able to get their applications done in Image courtesy of Northern Illinois University time, there's plenty of time to get prepared before next October. in on time: letters of recommendation and transcripts. Almost every law school requires that your LSAT scores, letters of recommendation and transcripts be sent to them by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). While you may be prompt about filling out and submitting forms on time these two items require you to convince others into working inside your deadlines. Compiling undergraduate transcripts can be a surprisingly time consuming task. Applicants should never underestimate the sluggishness of educational bureaucracies, and should plan accordingly.

Scott Conway and Arek Legarra posted solid rounds of 73, and Kyle Kelch and Mike Leonard shot 75. By the end of round one, Cal State San Marcos' team score of 286 gave them a healthy 8-shot lead over the field. Unfortunately, while the Cougars' first round was the best of the tournament by any team, their second was the worst. All five golfers scored higher than in the previous day, including Anderson following up his 65 with a disappointing 80. As a team, the Cougars' took 28 more strokes to get around the course in the second wm** s life round, shooting 314. Day three proved a little better, but CSUSM's score of 307 was not enough to get them back in contention. Scott Conway was able to turn it around through, matching his first round score of 73. His combined score of 223 earned him a tie for fifth in the tournament. The team ended up in fourth, 18 strokes behind winners Point Loma Nazarene University. PLNU won the tournament by just one stroke over Concordia University, and finished four ahead of Cal Baptist The Cougars did manage to finish ahead of CSU East Bay by 11 strokes. Despite the disappointment of losing the lead, the men's team should continue to improve throughout the fall and turn into a major contender by spring. Helping the cause will be the returns of Casey Sartori, Clint McCook, and Matthew Determan, who are all expected to be playing either later this fall or in the spring. The team will next be in action on October 22, at Sonoma State University. It is one of two tournaments remaining in the fall schedule, after which the squad will not compete again until February.

Gerrica Clark Pmimm M i lii Junior Campus Police Team raises over $2,000 for MADD AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer A special event occurred Saturday, September 24, in San Diego County. The event was the San Diego County fundraising walk, "Strides for Change." California State University San Marcos' very own campus police were there and raised $ 2,230 for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Oranization. Moreover, the campus police placed first in the Academic category at the fundraiser. The CSUSM police team is made up of S. Brown, Tina Griffith, Douglass Miller, Deb Schmidt, and Shelley Wicka. Their participation was not only a great contribution to MADD, but the commitment our police team displayed at the fundraiser also supports the CSUSM Police's mission to "build partnerships with surrounding communities, [and] to promote the University's goals and mission." CSUSM Police Department went above and beyond this year, and was able to raise an incredible amount of proceeds, exceeding their initial goal of $1,700. The police team is a perfect example of what a few people can do when they work together. The campus police in coordination with MADD hope to raise awareness and educate the public, especially students, about not drinking and driving. A few tips from MADD if you do plan on drinking: "If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out " Two, "take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home." Lastly, two tigs that go hand in hand: "report an impaired driver if you notice' one," and "always buckle up; it can save your life." Founded 25 years ago, MADD is a non-profit organization with over 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not against alcohol consumption, but MADD's mission is to "stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking." Congratulations to our campus police here at CSUSM and their dedication in raising $2,230 for MADD and their cause. Hopefully their appreciated efforts will continue into the future, supporting other worthy organizations. If anyone wishes to volunteer for "Strides for Change," the fundraiser's website, www. stridesforchange.org, is the optimal place to learn more" information about the walk and about MADD. Furthermore, MADD's website: www.madd.org offers indepth information on the MADD organization.

The Kite Runner: Campus Read stimulates conversation BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer In his book, "The Books In My Life," Henry Miller writes: "A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold." Recently, CSUSM has implemented a program with that ilk of enrichment in mind. In starting the Campus Read program, it is hoped that readers will form a bond via selected literature. As a result, the formation of the open forum is helping to facilitate discussion between many different groups on campus. Sponsored by the American Democracy Project, it is anticipated that book discussions and the sharing of opinions and ideas about this culturally significant novel will abound between students; faculty, and staff. Fall 2006 s selected reading was "The Kite Runner.": The author, Khaled Hosseini, was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1965. This semiM M ? autobiographical novel tells the story of Amir, an Afghan boy from a wealthy family. The story focuses on the impact a single decision can have on one's life. As a child, just before his family moves from Afghanistan, Amir witnesses his friend be brutally raped. Rather than intervene eventually ends up composing his own story. Later, Amir returns to Taliban controlled Kabul to find his half-brother. He finds him to be the sexual slave of a Taliban executioner, who also happens to be the same man who raped his friend. He fights to free his • brother, and they escape back to the United States. While the young man possesses a fragile emotional state, his rescue helps Amir to resolve his deep-seeded guilt. This book has gained world-, wide fame, and locally, was also chosen as Escondido's City Read. It serves as a vehicle for discussion about the historical and cultural issues as presented by Hosseini.

The New York Yankees pitcher In 1994, Lidle was a "scab" was not a very experienced pilot player during the 1994 MLB playand it was not a good day for flying er's strike. He was one of the most successful replacement players, along with Kevin Millar. It took a long time for the MLB community to accept him, but he was a good teammate and eventually won over the people he played with. After tragic things like this, I begin to wonder about the things that led to the incident. I play the what-if game, even though I probably shouldn't. Lidle was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees at the trading deadline. He brought his plane from his home in Florida up'to New Jersey when he was . traded. Ifhe was never traded from the Phillies to the Yankees, would this have happened? I don't think so, since his off-season would have already begun about two weeks prior, and he likely would have already been in Florida. Of course, this could have happened anywhere. I also wonder, had he not been a pro athlete, would he have had such an expensive hobby. He purchased his small four-seat plane for 187,000 thousand dollars. Many athletes take up golf or buy a business to keep them busy in the off-season, but athletes now are beginning to play with more expensive things, like their lives. Remember Ben Roethlisberger, Kellen Winslow Jr., Jay Williams, and their motorcycle accidents? Fortunately, those guys weie all lucky to live through their accidents and return to their sports. Anyone who flies a plane always says that you're safer in a plane than in your own car driving on the freeway. That may be true, however, why put .yourself in a situation that you don't need to be in? It's nearly essential to drive a t ar, but it isn't essential toflya plane for hobby, especially when you have so much to lose. For a little perspective, here is the most remarkable story I heard on the day of the accident It came from Alan Schwarz, a senior writer from "Baseball America." A week before the accident, Lidle invited Schwarz for aflightin his plane. Schwarz always wanted to fly in one of the planes that Lidle owned, but he declined the invite because he and his wife just had a newborn baby and knew it could be a dangerous situation. Lidle was 34 years old, had a wife and child. Unfortunately, this is what it took for the sports media to stop talking about Terrell Owens, and Alex Rodriguez' postseason struggles.

Jaffe has authored 13 books and a collection of essays. For his performance at CSUSM, Jaffe chose five narratives: "Panther," "Salaam," "Things to do During Time of War,". "Potlatch," and "Monk and Suicide Bomber." "I hoped the [readings] would constitute an informative and even pleasurable grouping," said Jaffe. Each narrative lasted approximately ten minutes. The entire performance lasted almost one hour. Jaffe read most of the material. Mark Wallace, who has been an assistant professor at CSUSM for two years, read major parts as well. Two other female performers read briefly during "Salaam." Travas Rivas, majoring in Literature and Writing and graduating Spring 2008, said he was "absolutely" satisfied with Jaffe's performance. "His reading [brought] a different perspective and understanding you can't get out by reading his pieces," said Rivas. Patrick Ayson supplied music throughout the entire performance which provided a background to the readings. The music really enhanced the performance. "Patrick and I got together and did a little experimenting. I wanted to let Patrick do what he wanted to add a chance vector," explained Jaffe after the performance. "Patrick is a really fine young keyboard player and sound technician, and I think people will be hearing more about him as time goes on," said Wallace. I enjoyed "Panther" the most, the first narrative read solely by Jaffe. In this narrative, Jaffe explains his transition from a panther to a human. Jaffe wore black jeans, a black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves to his biceps, a pair of black-tinted sun glasses, an almost evil-looking full beard, and to complete the ensemble he wore two black leather gloves on each hand. The content w is very intriguing. He describes the surgery required to conceal his true identity as a panther and how he has to keep himself from jumping over the podium and savaging the audience because he still is a panther on the inside, I was almost scared to a certain extent. I felt myself being attracted to another world out of the Grand Salon in the Clarke Field House at CSUSM. I drifted into a fictional world where panthers were capable of con- verting into humans. The style in which Jaffe delivered his performance was very convincing and the music that Ayson created as Jaffe read aloud added to the surreal element and combined to create an overall creepy feeling. The four narratives provided humorous moments as well, and the audience, including myself, let out loud bursts of laughter. Other moments during the readings made me think deeply. The whole performance was very fascinating and thought-provoking. "Overall, I was really very happy with the reading and really look forward to more readings on campus that are coming up. It's great that the school is giving its students an opportunity to hear published authors read form their work, and [I] would like to see this kind of thing happen more often on campus," said Rivas. For those reading this article and feeling left out, do not fret. Linh Dinh, a fiction writer and poet, will be performing Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. See you there.

If you're a real movie fan, you know this one is a sure thing: Martin Scorsese, a crime tale, and a bunch of Hollywood mantalent. Set in Boston, it's a typical Scorsese blood-and-guts film (think "Casino," "Taxi Driver"). Here's a comparison: it's darker than, but has the compelling story of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," without the intersecting plot lines and oodles of characters to remember. But it's tamer than "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," with a more commercial, solid crime-suspense story. In fact, the story is as enthralling as the acting, especially good for someone with a short term memory like me (who sometimes wonders halfway through a film, "Who who, what what?''). Such a person will thoroughly enjoy "The Departed," as the plot is easy to follow, but engaging—I never once wondered how long we had been in the theater, but wondered what the hell was going to happen next: true evidence of cinematic captivation. The story centers on a sort of Boston Mafia, headed by Frank Costello, and the Boston State Police. Costello, played by none other than Jaek Nicholson, picks a young Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) to mentor into his gang. Later, Sullivan enters the police academy and slickly infiltrates the "Staties" Organized Crime Unit as a detective. There he warns "Dad" Costello every time the police are onto him. The only problem is two detectives, Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Digriam (Mark Wahlberg), who place a freshly graduated cop, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), as a Costello infor- mant. Planted in jail and drug deals, Billy wins Costello's confidence and joins the gang. This is when the story gets good. Entirely unaware of each other, Costigan calls the cops on Costello while Sullivan calls them off. Voila, both sides smell a rat. Costigan and Sullivan, one fearing his life and the other his job, both desperately try to identify the other. It goes on like that for a long, satisfyingly suspenseful while. Of course there's blood and stuff, and a love triangle, but I won't tell you who gets popped or who's the baby's daddy or how it-ends., I'm not that rude. Because you are going to see this movie, if only to gawk at Mark Wahlberg (who my husband and I could only refer to as "Marky-Mark") and his bull-cut-damn-near-mullet. Wahlberg also delivers most of the requisite off-color jokes, though they're strewn left and right by the cops and the bad guys so much, they're distracting. Also distracting are the Boston accents. I'm a sucker for even the slightest male Eastern accent, but these ones don't work, even for Massachusetts natives Wahlberg and Damon (whose charming Boston accent was still deliciously intact for "Good Will Hunting"). Still, Damon's is most believable compared to the others, which seem to fade iñ and out; I don't think Leo even attempts his. But Nicholson, predictably, is extremely believable as the half-crazy crime boss Costello. Damon, who typically doesn't play the bad-guy role, does it well because he looks so much like a good guy—the key to being secretly bad. And Leo, fíate to say, is excellent. His portrayal of a stresscrazed police informant/crime apprentice is consistently excellent. I grudgingly admit "The Departed" might have made me á fan. Don't overlook this classic suspense film. Oscar certainly won't.

Though, due to storage techniques available today, apples are available year-round, and for the traditionalist there is really no more appealing time than autumn to enjoy them. Along with pears, peaches plums, and apricots, to name a few, the apple is a member of the rose family, a fact perhaps most beautifully expressed in Robert Frost's poem, "The Rose Family." This healthful fruit, rich in fiber and flavonoids, has long been praised for its ability to "keep the doctor away" and was associated in ancient times with immortality and reincarnation. The apple was also a symbol of love and fertility and often associated with wisdom. Taking all this into consideration, is it really any wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow named her firstborn after this most remarkable of fruits? ^ ^ i l ^ f i | Perhaps, though, even Eve would blush at the vast array of apple recipes modern apple-connoisseurs have at their disposal. Aside from such mainstream favorites as apple pie, apple turnovers, candied apples, caramel apples, and the more exotic delights, such as apple tabouleh and apple risotto, there is the sweetly sinful collection of appleinspired cocktails. One of the simplest apple cocktails is the Fall Crisp. A mixture of 1 to 2 ounces of vodka and 14 ounces of apple cider, shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and ALESMITH EVIL DEAD R ED ALE Beer of the Week strained into a Collins glass, the Fall Crisp deliciously lives up to its name. It is not only crisp, but it's also sweet and definitely refreshing: By no means a drink one would drink expressly to get drunk, the Fall Crisp will nonetheless produce a pleasant buzz. For a festive alternative, take a walk on the wild side and substitute sparkling apple cider. Either way, it is possible to drink one's apple a day. Live long and prosper.

No, what's so refreshing about The Oohlas is that it's fairly clear it never occurred to band members Olivia Stone and brothers, Mark and Greg Eklund, to shape their sound into a clearly definable genre. Sometimes eletronica, sometimes indie-rock that invokes the spirit of Beck, the band's sound is a combination of loud, toe-tapping riffs and reserved harmonies that contrast in a way that works with the dark subject matter of the album. The ride of the album is spacey. The opening track on the album, "Gone," evokes a topsyturvy feeling reminiscent of the final scene of "The Labyrinth" Float through the perfect harmonies and scratchy guitar riffs; this one is well-worth the ride. The highlight of the album is Stone's vocals, however, which dominate most of the tracks. Her sweet sound on the track "Tripped" belies the song's dark subject matter: "You're aging fast/Your skull is thick/Keep drinking darkness stupid prick/ And I'd rather die than watch you drown/Breathing the dust and shoving coffee down." It's one of the many tracks devoted to what is, seemingly, a story of love lost. "TV Dinner" is another favorite and a true shining moment for Stone. Here she ditches the reserved tone and breaks out mid-track into an accusatory cry of anguish: "I don't know where to go anymore/Why don't you love me?*' The final track is the pinnacle of the album; "The Rapid" has a sound epic enough for a Coldplay single with its steady, building sound. Here the band quietly asserts a claustrophobic need: "There are too many people here/Far too many people near/ I don't want to get too close/It's not healthy." The sound is complex, but here Stone's amiable voice compliments the MiddleEastern rhythm in a soothing DA O Fin?CnrAT R G NO E R DDViirf? T way, a departure from the fastpaced tracks that play before it. It's a joy to listen to—again, despite the subject matter—and a nice finish to our space ride through "Best Stop Pop." Although much of the album is a delight, tracks with one of the two Eklunds on lead vocals fall short. By comparison they seem bland and tired—a sound we've heard before (see Beck Images courtesy of The Oohlas above). Stone makes the difference here, her sharp intonation a truly unique sound from other current albums. Although I give the album four paws, it's probably best suited for those already comfortable with artists a little offbeat. Fans of alternative should find The Oohlas' upbeat tempos familiar, but with an overall refreshing sound and, in a word, different. ; oninbi in nLrt 1 Concert Review BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer An adrenaline-charged and energized line wrapped around the House of Blues last October 6.

A fulsome orange countdown timer ticked away as a threedimensional metal backdrop with "In&uer r man Rampage" splattered in large red text dropped down to frame the stage. Grounded by pulsating bass and metal riffage pounding through the walls, the experience itself was no small feat. The restless crowd chanted and stomped, "Drag-on-FORCE! Drag-on-FORCE!" in hopes of awakening the bestial band. A montage of red lights flooded the stage, haunting the shadows of the equipment and blinding inebriated onlookers, ZP Theart, lead singer for DragonForce, jumped onto the raised platform, a large fan blowing his black hair all over, and spat water onto the closest audience members as he roared "San Diego! How are all you mutha-Pckers?!" with his brash British accent. The house went crazy, With an army of guitars locked and loaded, the members of DragonForce prowled around audience members like predators, rioting song after song like "Revolution Deathsquad," and "Storming the Burning Fields." Inciting "Operation Ground and Pound" next, the metal Gods rained down a divine cataclysm of devastating cho^s. : As the night progressed, the "wow" factor held strong as RedBull and Jaeger kept the 21+ gathering upstairs in check, With unforgiving vocals and tormented solos, DragonForce gave it their all, interacting with the crowd to a degree I had never witnessed before. The two and a half hour set wasn't nearly long I enough. The encore song, "Through the spitting more wmage coourtesy of DragonForce Fire andFlames"—the song t hat£m sure surfers. , ; ater n adolescent crowd was responsible for the sold-out s how- v, Currently touring Europe and then was the favorite of the night.

Masks or no masks, it's that time of the year again, and students campuswide are gearing up and getting ready for the annual excursion. Last year, only days before the dance, ASI sold out of the 500 tickets they had available. When they reached their maximum capacity at the HardRock Café in La Jolla, they simply decided that one dance a year was not enough and later held the first ever Spring Fling. This year, in order to meet the demand of the student body, ASI moved the event to H.O.B. in the Gaslamp. ASI Coordinator of Student Activities, Sara Gallegos, saysi "We expect to sell out at 1,000 tickets." With less than one week left before the ball, 755 tickets have already been sold at the rate of lt)0 tickets per week. Gallegos believes that the Masquerade Ball and other events put on by ASI are growing ever more popular as enrollment increases along with the higher number of younger students attending CSUSM. Although the H.O.B. has a restaurant, students and their guests will occupy the music hall and bar. ASI recommends that students eat at the surrounding restaurants.

Tuberculosis: Edgar Allen Poe died from it. Nelson Mandela lives with it. And last week at San Diego State University, a foreign exchange student living in the dorms was diagnosed with it. Although most people believe he contracted the disease overseas, it does not take much for tuberculosis to spread. TB is spread through the air from sneezes, coughs, and even from just talking with a person face to face. Symptoms of tuberculosis include an unusual feeling of weakness, weight loss, night sweats, coughing, and chest pain. Ultimately, those who are at higher risk for Image cöurtesy of contracting the versapharm.com disease are people who share the same breathing space with those who have TB. But j ust because someone is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, does not mean they will contract it, only 10% of individuals develop the actual disease. If individuals do not develop the.disease, the tuberculosis bacteria strain remains dormant in their system. Some individuals are not capable of fighting off the infection which causes the bacteria to grow. As a result, these individuals eventually develop active tuberculosis and experience the ailing shortcomings of the chronic disease.

ÌCF will do this with the help of volunteers, CSUSM students, and their AIDS in Africa tent. The twenty-foot long tent, on the grass in front of the library, will display pictures the fever of adults and children in Africa living with AIDS. CSUSM students will stand in front of the tent and welcome people inside where they will be given headphones to listen to testimonies of people who have suffered from AIDS. As they listen, they will have the opportunity to view pictures in the surrounding tentt. Upon leaving the AIDS in Africa tent, students will be given a stamp on their hand that declares them HIV positive or negative, pertaining to the statistics of people who have AIDS in Africa. IFC's mission is to experience God, and change the world. Their mission for the tent is to have CSUSM students respond economically, politically and spiritually. They hope the emotional impact will cause the students to react in any way they can, whether it is raising funds, writing letters to senators, or praying to God. Ultimately they want each student to ask themselves one question: How can I take action?

For those living in close proximity to one another, such as in the dorms on campus (where most apartments have six roommates to an apartment), the best way to prevent tuberculosis is to keep the apartment well ventilated. A PPD skin test is the easiest way to detect the TB infection or the TB disease in an individual. If an individual tests positive for the infection, chest X-rays would be required for a doctor to see if the disease caused any permanent lung damage. Even if an individual has the TB infection, they cannot spread it to others. However, it will be easier for them to develop the TB disease in the future. For those who have the inactive TB, the best way to kill the infection is to take Isoniazid or INH antibiotics for nine months with one pill a day. Those with the TB infection or disease must participate in regular checkups for the rest of their life. Infected individuals would then take a course of INH antibiotics. After treatment there is a less than 1% chance that the individual will develop the TB disease. cepts that ultimately lead to a healthy lifestyle and can prevent tuberculosis among other diseases. They are familiar to us as the otfe piece of advice we hear over and over again: adequate amounts of sleep, continuous exercise and a healthy diet. With today's modern medicine and technology, people can live their lives with the TB infection or disease.

With over five million articles from topics such as the history of the fork to current trends and popular items like the iPod, wikipedia. org covers anything and everything. CSUSM student April Paustian, a Literature and Writing Studies major planning to graduate in with the class of 2009 says, "You can find so many different topics at once. Anything I know I want, I can get it [on Wikipedia]." Before*I used Wikipedia as a research tool, I used Google to find relevant information. Google however is merely a search site and does not host content of its own. After a year of using Google to locate various sources of content information, I was impressed by the ease of having one centralized, searchable information source. One click on "add to favorites" and Wikipedia became my main online research tool. I typically use Wikipedia for school, but lately I have been using the website for personal use as well. For example, I wanted to know what the "check digit" was regarding the vehicle identification number (VIN) for my car. Not only did Wikipedia have a clear explanation, but the site even provided the formula that produce^,the check digit number.

However, one problem currently facing administrators is making new students aware of its availability here on campus. / Students currently studying a foreign language on campus are encouraged to stop by the LLC, because of the wonderful help provided by its tutors.

Hughes also encourages his students to go to the Language Lab and get help from the tutors on their papers and homework. Another student, Randy Saldivar, a senior and President of the Kamalayan Alliance, raves about the LLC tutors: "Peter Vu was a great help to me when it came to understanding and practicing my Japanese." It seems that the general consensus is that the tutors are truly helpful at the LLC. Interestingly enough, the LLC contains many computer workstations that vary from televisions and cassette tape players, to interactive computers with built-in specialized language tools. The language tools are pivotal in facilitating the correct applications of language translations.

One final note about the technology in the LLC is that it contains a "vast variety of audio and visual equipment that help out with students' learning experience of a foreign language," says Saldivar. "Lastly and maybe most importantly, is the fact that the collaboration between CSUSM professors and the LLC staff is what really makes the LLC advantageous to CSUSM students. To create a more conducive learning environment for students, professors such as Hughes, implement lesson plans that integrate tutor participation during specific lectures. Another objective the Centers for Learning and Academic Support Services (CLASS) has is to centralize the many student-based services here on campus. Located in Craven 4107, Senior CLASS Director Lorena Meza affirms that, "We are here to support our students by providing them with the resources necessary for academic excellence."

On the course, their only tournament win came in the Region II Championships against three other teams with mediocre talent. Off of the course, the team was withcpt Coach Fred Hanover, who was dismissed from his position. Things started to turn around towards the end of t he season last year when the women were able to place fourth at Nationals. The momentum continued during t he summer when Hanover was brought back to his role of bead coach. Last week, the Cougars continued the good news as they opened their 2006 season with a victory at The Grand Canyon Fall 'invitational in West Phoenix, Ariz. ^ "It feels fantastic,*? says Hanover. "They did everything necessary t o, have a successful tournament." As a team, the Cougars shot 609, which was 11 shots less than second place team, Southern Nazarene (620). The winner of the individual tournament was CSUSM Senior Jennell French, her first win since the 2005 Cougar Classic. French managed to finish her two round total with 146 (73-73). "I've been working very hard," says French. "It's impressive that we all came together as a team." Men's C.C. Takes 4th at Riverside; Meija Shines Again According to French, her last three holes were the highlights of the tournament. "I finished birdie, birdie, par, and I was behind the last three holes," reports French. Apparently her performance was contagious to her Cougar teammates. Sophomore Ellyse Siu stood out among her teammates, displaying significant improvement since her freshman year, and finishing fourth with a two^round total of 150 (76-74). "Best performance I've ever had," says Siii. "Everything felt right.", Senior Christina Austin shared 12th place with a score of 156 (79-77), and one shot behind was Carly Ludwig, a junior, with a score of 157 (80-77). Hanover and t he Cougars continue to set their sights on the National Championship for the 2006-2007 year. However, Hanover insists there is much room for improvement before National's in the spring. "Hopefully they will continue to play hard and even better," says Hanover, "I don't even think this is their best performance." Hanover's goals are certainly not lost on the team's performance. "We really have a strong team this year," French says. "Everyone wants to play well, make our school look good, and represent CSUSM." csu The California State University WORKING f OR CALIFORNIA CSU Students and Faculty Deserve the Best CSU students and the faculty at our 23 campuses need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional I percent augmentation f or compensation • Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to faculty eligibility for PERS retirement • Health and dental benefits above the standard for California and other universities • Attractive lecturer rights • Gradually increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of 4 years they pay the same parking fees as students The CSU hopes these issues can be resolved soon so that our faculty can receive the salary increases they deserve, and our students can continue receiving the quality education they expect from the California State University. For more details please visit the CSU web site at http://wvvwx,aistatexvdu/bargaining~ status/ Though they are just three events into the season, the CSUSM men's cross country team is giving Cougar fans plenty of reason to get excited about the squad's potential to compete at Nationals. At the UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational on Sunday, the men placed a solid fourth place out of 15 teams. This comes one week after they posted a second place finish at San Diego State, and two weeks after finishing fifth in their season-opener at Irvine. In ail; three events, the squad was led by senior Juan Mejia, who appears poised to carve out a place for himself in the program's history. At Riverside on Sunday, Mejia notched his second top-5 finish in three events, taking 4th place. He finished the fivemile run with a time of24:29.40. He was followed by Phil Hoffman, who placed 18th with a time of 25:19.70. Just behind him was Mike Crouch, finishing 22nd. Rounding out the Cougars' top five were Sergio Gonzalez (35th), and Thomas Thys (39th). The event was narrowly won by Southern Utah, who edged out host school U.C. Riverside. Cal Poly Pomona took third place, followed by CSUSM. Below are the full results of the Cougars' top-5 runners, with their place for team-scoring purposes (not including runners who participated individually). Top 5 Cougar Men*4 Juan Meija 24:29.40 •17 Phil Hoffman25:19.70 »21 Mike Crouch 25:30.40*32 Sergio Gonzalez 25:59.50«36 Thomas Thys 26:09.00 Resounding 4-0 Victory over La Sierra for Men's Soccer Coming off an emotional 1-0 win at Biola, the Cougar men won in a much less thrilling, but equally effective fashion on Sunday, coasting to a 4-0 home victory over La Sierra. From the opening kickoff, it was clear that CSUSM (9-2) had the upper hand. The Cougars controlled play throughout the first half, connecting on passes to create scoring opportunities and shutting down La Sierra's offense entirely. The Cougars' back line was impenetrable, with fullbacks Brian Luhrs and Chris Dunckel playing especially strong defensive games. La Sierra could not generate any kind of sustained attack on Cougar keeper Trent Painter; who, with the help of the strong defense, earned his sixth shutout of the season. The 4-0 score would hold up for the Cougars' ninth win in eleven tries this season. The team appears to have rebounded stronger than ever from its last loss, a 2-1 heartbreaker against Vanguard University two weeks ago, as evidenced by its wins over Biola and now La Sierra. The team will carry its momentum into three straight road games, the first being on October 7 at UC Santa Cruz. �Tuesday, October 3, 2006 OPINION THE PRIDE Jock talk w ith Josh: "T.O." BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer Who said Terrell Owens doesn't care about other people? He nearly made me happy with his "accidental overdose" on September 26. I can count on one hand the number of people in sports that I don't like to write or talk about; Terrell Owens is one of those people. The reports of his "accidental overdose," which he talked about last week, were the final straw for me. Owens likes the spotlight. Who doesn't like the spotlight? I know I love it, but I know I wouldn't go to the lengths that he has gone to, to maintain it. Name another star wide receiver in the NFL that has a publicist speaking for him. I think Owens has used a spokesperson more over the past six years than George W. Bush has. Tell me another player in the league that has Deion Sanders stepping outside of hi& home to ward off the media. That's kind of like being a prostitute and having a stripper defend your character. Deion isn't exactly the best person to have in your corner. Name another player in the league that hires unintelligent personnel to mediate that spotlight. There are so many sketchy things around this whole "accidental overdose." First off, I have spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital for various surgeries. I have also taken many different types of painkillers. Before doctors hand out those types of drugs, they make sure they know every other medication that you are taking, so that something doesn't mix wrong and you end up killing yourself. With that said, Owens' claim that his painkillers mixed wrong with supplements that he was taking is something that is not very believable in my mind. He also claimed to have taken extra painkillers the night of the incident. Owens is notorious for monitoring what he puts in his body. The man doesn't drink alcohol or smoke anything. He doesn't take anything in excess, so now he's telling us that he took a few extra painkillers? That doesn't follow his personality. Having a sketchy story to begin with is one thing, but having incompetent people around you is another. Kim Etheredge, Owens' publicist, is quite possibly the worst publicist I have ever seen. While she was fielding questions from the media on September 27, she did so many things wrong. She showed up at the press conference looking completely haggard. She wasn't dressed in business attire and she looked like she had just woken up in a gutter. In the communication business, non-verbal communication is sometimes more important than the verbal aspects (shout out to all my Communication professors). Her job is to get people on Owens' side. Talk about an impossible job. Her job is to not make it obvious that she is trying to get public opinion in her favor, but she failed to do so. She tried way too hard to look like she had been up all night worrying about her client. It doesn't take very long to jump in the shower and dress in business attire. She also ruined it with two statements that stuck out in my head. In the middle of the press conference she said,. "Had this been someone else, this might not have happened." She is referring to this circus not even being a possibility for anyone else in the league. She couldn't be more right, because no one else in the league wants this kind of negative attention. Owens is the only person in the league who doesn't care what kind of attention he gets, just as long as he gets attention. Also, news flash to her, if Owens wasn't Owens then she wouldn't have a job. The second ignorant comment that she made actually occurred as she was leaving the press conference when she said, "Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive." Reminding the public how much money Owens is going to make is not a smart idea, especially when the average person can't even fathom what 25 million dollars looks like. Building a further divide like that is not good public relations. I really despise the media in situations like this. I can't stand E.SPN, because they, along with the rest of journalists across the world, created his enormous ego. "T.O." would still be Terrell Owens, if it weren't for the media. If it weren't for ESPN, Owens wouldn't have an audience for his freak show. The 3 p.m. PST Sportscenter on September 27 spent nearly the whole hour talking about him. It's really sad that ESPN spent pretty much the same time on Owens that they did covering the New Orleans Saints first game back in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. I hope Terrell Owens and ESPN run a fly pattern off a building somewhere.

We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We need some help from you now," plays in my head as I take the first sip of my Scooby Snack. The Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon, "Scooby Doo," is the inspiration for this tasty treat: the Scooby Snack cocktail. A smooth mixture of Midori, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and whipped cream, the Scooby Snack is not only a popular choice, but it's the best tasting cocktail I've ever had. In the cartoon, Shaggy and Scooby, known for fending off ghouls and monsters, chow down on Scooby Snacks—which in the show are caramel-flavored cookies—all the time. I'm not sure how such a delicious drink came to be, and earned the name "Scooby Snack," but it's only fitting that we celebrate the mystery-loving spirit inside each of us with the month of Halloween upon us by indulging in the rich and delectable drink. Served chilled in a Collins glass, the Scooby Snack suits just about any occasion. Creamy, sweet and mouthwatering, the whipped cream is the icing on the cake for this mixed drink. A "far out" delight of spectacular measures, the Scooby Snack fits into the category of what the cartoon Scooby snacks were described as: a flavorful, fictional food item of peculiar and uncertain origin. Minus the fictional aspect, the Scooby Snack is all of the above. After doing research on Scooby Snacks, I discovered that i|ot only are Scooby Snacks a Beer trademarked product that Warner Bros, markets as a brand of dog treats and as a human-friendly cookie snack, but that Scooby Snack is also slang for "magic mushrooms" that alter one's state of consciousness. What does this information have to do with the irresistible cocktail, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the name "Scooby Snack" has been used for dozens of other products and consumable materials (beverages included) that are as alluring as they are unexplainable; just as the taste and my experience of consuming a Scooby Snack cocktail was unbelievable, yet simultaneously inexplicable. If only we knew who created the mystifying combination of the yummy elements, then we might be able to shed behind the S cooby Snack and perhaps thank its creator. Until then, I guess the Scooby Snack will remain a mystery.,. N EW!!!

It's brewed with imported Bavarian Haller-tauer Perle hops and Vienna malts; however," the malt taste dominates the beer almost negat- • ingthespicyandcomplexflavorofthe hops all together. While the overall taste is not unpleasant, it's not particularly complex and perhaps a little sweet for an Oktoberfest brew. The aftertaste is warm, slightly dry and bitter. Karl Strauss Oktoberfest is stronger and darker than their normal brews and while it is not as complex or as bold as some other Oktoberfest brews, the result is a very drinkable beer. Next week we will look at a final Oktoberfest beer for the season brewed in the United States: Samuel Adams' Oktoberfest brew. m 10ft.

The Web Scheduler allows CSUSM students to schedule advising appointments according to their declared major or their major of interest. The Web Scheduler suggests that students with an undeclared major status or students with no specific major of interest visit the Career Center, located in Craven Hall Room 4201. The older version of the Web Scheduler closed after midnight on Thursdays and reopened at 10 AM on Mondays. If no appointments were available then students had to continue logging onto the Web Scheduler daily to check for available appointments from Monday after 10 AM to Thursday before midnight. If students were not able to successfully make an advising appointment then they would have to wait until the following Monday at 10 AM to start the whole process all over again. For the Fall Semester however, the Web Scheduler no longer closes. Students can log onto the Web Scheduler to make an appointment whenever they want. Students can also make an advising appointment in advance of 7-12 days. Advising appointments provide opportunities for students to meet with advisors for assistance in graduating.

' Photo by David-Gatley / The Pride See ADVISING Page 2 Before nine in the morning last Friday the Facility Services department announced that the lights and power would more then likely remain off for the remainder of the day in the ACD building. A contractor working in the Academic Hall accidentally struck and disabled a hidden electrical feeder for the lights on the third and fourth floor of the building. Fortunately, the contractor was not injured in the accident. Shortly after the accident, the Facilities Services department notified the Communications Office who sent out a mass email to notify students of the situation. Yellow signs were posted on the doors of the ACD building warning students of electrical repairs being performed through out the day on the first,, third, and fourth floors, with the corresponding classroom relocations. The Academic Scheduling department was notified of the accident on Friday morning and made adjustments to classes in affected areas. Two classes, Communications 360 and Kinesiology 202, which are scheduled in classrooms on the fourth andfirstfloorsrespectively, were relocated to Markstein Hall for the day. The repaif work went fairly smoothly and was completed by Facility Services during the day on Friday. Fortunately this prevents the need for further class relocations, and all classes are scheduled to be held in their regular rooms on Monday.

CAlifORNU STAI? suggested on campus are new parking structures, labs and lecture halls. The public-works bonds which are being run along with Bond ID for transportation, housing, and flood control, (titled Bonds IB, 1C, and IE respectively) may make the passage of each individual bond more difficult. The proposed package is considerably larger than previous bond packages, the previous largest state bond proposal being the $15 billion dollar deficit reduction bond in 2004. That bond, which was named at the time Proposition 57, was a one time Economic Recovery Bond to pay off the state's accumulated General Fund deficit. Seen by voters as necessary to avoid a state fiscal crisis, Proposition 57 passed by an overwhelming margin of 63% to 36%. The bond package IB-IE however does not carry the same level of necessity in the minds of some voters as Proposition 57 did. This difference in perception along with the hefty price tag may lead to the bonds' eventual defeat. Last month a poll by the non partisan Public Policy Institute of California stated that 59 percent of California voters considered the $43 billion in debt that would be accumulated by the bond package's passing would be "too much". To help shore up support for the it, Governor Schwarzenegger along with the four top legislative leaders—including Democrats state Senate President Pro Tempore Don Perata and Speaker Fabian Nunez—are scheduled for several news conferences on October 3 and 4 to promote the bond package.

Illustration by David Gatley/ The Pride BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer I don't view sports as a f an/ T don't get too high or too low when, my team wins or loses, which is why I can work in the sports industry and still maintain my sanity. Last time I lived and died with my team I was in little league. At least that was the case until September 18, when the Padres and Dodgers played one of the most remarkable games I have ever seen. On that day the Padres gave up back to back to back to back jacks in the ninth inning and a game winning homer in the tenth inning to lose to the Dodgers 11-10. Being a Padres fan, you would think I would hang around more Padres fans than Dodgers fans, but that is not the case. Some of my closest friends roll with the blue crew, so as this division chase winds down between the two teams, friendships are being tested. The following are the conversations I had with several people on the evening of September 18 through the morning of September 19. At 9:54PM the Padres todk a lead of 6-4 in the eighth inning so I text messaged my friend Paul, a dodgers fan, "Oh yaaaaa". He simply responds with a couple of expletives. At 10:12PM the Dodgers grabbed one of those runs back and Paul replies to me, "I don't think I can handle much more of this game/' 10:25PM rolls around and the Padres score their first of three runs in the ninth inning. Paul responds with, "Okay... that's it...we aint getting 2 off Trevor... 1 and a halfback." I respond with quite possibly the most clairvoyant prediction of my life, "I dunno man. This game is sketchy. 3 runs I am still not confident with." 10:30PM comes and the Padres finish the inning with a 9-5 lead and Paul says, "How about now?!" Making that transition from journalist to fan I say, "Haha. I am satisfied now." He responds with a "Good! We just had to keep giving you runs until you were." The clock reaches 10:34PM and I am feeling stoked about being a game and a half ahead. Then Jeff Kent homers and Paul responds sarcastically with, "Yay...3 more," 10:35PM comes and J.D. Drew jacks one so Paul responds with an "Oh s**t." Before I know it I am being bombarded with phone calls. Paul callsfirstand myfirstwords were, "Told you I was uneasy." Those of you who live in Temecula, where Paul was viewing the game, know that area gets the .Dodgers telecast, where as San Diegans get the Padres on channel 4 San Diego. What most don't know is that the Dodgers telecast is on 6 second delay compared to the Padres telecast. 10:38PM and Trevor Hoffman is finally called into the game and the first pitch is sent over the fence. As this happens I am seeing it before Paul does and I simply respond with a few expletives of my own this time. Frantically he is confused for those first 6 seconds until he sees my hopes go over the fence. One pitch later I let out some more expletives and Paul responds with a, "you're kidding me, right?" The Padres got out of the inning and I got a call from my Uncle Rene, a Padres fan who lives in Los Angeles. He is watching the game at a sports bar with a bunch of Dodgers fans and among others, Eric Davis, a former Dodger. I make him look like a genius with the whole 6 second delay as he wins several bar bets on what's going to happen next in the game. That would be the highlight of the night for either of us. The game goes into the tenth inning and the Padres grab a 109 lead, so once again I am feeling confident. I finally settle down and decide to join my grandfather for the bottom of the tenth inning. As I sit down, Nomar Garciaparra jacks a 2 run homer over the left field fence to win the game. Then the phone calls start ringing in again, but that isn't the half of it. As Ifinallyget to sleep that night, I figure I won't have to relive that nightmare. That is until I get to my second class on September 19. My friend Karin, a Dodgers fan, gives me a look as I sit down, and I know exactly what she's thinking so I simply say, "Don't say a word." To this day I am still being mocked for that game. So, if you're a Dodgers fan, just don't say a word until the playoffs. As you can see I am still not over it.

A xo^ter with plenty of experience and a few strong he^cditfers should make the 2006-2007 season ian exciting one for the men's gplf team. Last year, the squad placed well in many tournaments, including second place finishes at the Bill Cullum Invite^ Pala Mesa Invitational, and Cal State San Marcos Invitational. This success came despite not having a single senior on the roster. Now, eight golfers return: from last year's team, each with another year of experience under their belts. Scott' Conway and Matt Determari should lead the team. Conway, who was named to the All-Region Team following last season, posted the fourth best overall score in the entire field at the Region II National Championship?. He has also been putting up great scores in off-season August 21 2006. It was ai^ overwhelming end to last season — the squ&d not only won the NAIA Region II Championship, but went on to place fourth at Nationals; the team's highest finish in the seven years ¡since its inception. With the bar set high, the coming year will be more intense than ever* Fall and spring will prove to be a busy time for the Lady Cougars, as the tournament schedule is more full than usual. Five tentative tournaments are scheduled for the fall, and the sprmgrseason is highlighted by the annual Cougar Invitational. During this event, the top NAIA schools travel to San Marcos to compete. Though the competition will befierpethroughout the fall and spring seasons,ft'willserve to prepare the team to be in National Championship contention once again. Within the team itself, competition will be ratcheted up as well. The combination of four talented newcomers with the fact that last year's team featured just one senior means this squad will be full of competition, experience, and excitement. With the great finish to last season, the ladies on this team know what they iyre capable of achieving and 'anticipate stretching their skills and abilities to tournament^. Deternian, a junior, has also: posted great scores in tournaments following the season. These tournaments help the golfers prepare for the fall season, and both Conway and Determan appear poised to have great years for CSUSM. To complement that experience, four new golfers are in school and will compete • for spots oh tournament rosters. Talented freshmen < Ryan Brotman, Kyle Kelch, and Arek Legarra will be on the -competition roster beginning this fall, and junior Markus Wended a transfer student from Sweden, will bring excitement to the squad. ' Betweep the talent that the team brings back froiri last year and the incoming players,, San Marcos has a great season to look forward to. Men's Soccer back on winning track; defeating Biola 1-0 September 22 2006. Coming off i ts first loss since its opening match, the Cal State San Marcos men's isoccer teanf(8-2) quickly righted the ship on Friday, defeating a previously unbeaten Biola squad (41) by a score of 1-0 in what was a tremendous soccer game. Scormg"oppSftunities were few and far between in the tightly contested match. Luckily for CS&S&I, Curtis Marcikic got the Cougars on the board early. Just under 6 minutes into the match, Chris Wyatt controlled a ball in Biola territory. From a sharp angle, he struck a cross to the opposite side of the net, finding Marcikic all alone at the far post. Though the cross handcuffed him, Marcikic managed to redirect the ball into the net with his hip, giving CSUSM an unlikely 1-0 lead That would be all the Cougars' defense wouldneed. After Marcikic's goal, CSUSM managed only one more shot on goal for the duration of the match, but was able to fend off all of Biola's attacks. Cougar keeper Trent Painter was his usual self, barking out instructions to his defenders, making good decisions, and stopping both shots on goal he faced. In the waning minutes of the match, Biola mounted a ferocious charge, nearly equalizing the game multiple times with some hard shots and free kicks that just missed. But despite all this, CSUSM never lost its composure, weathering the storm until the final whistle blew. For the Cougars, Friday's win should be a major confidence builder. The squad was coming off a tough loss, playing on t he^acf and involved in one of its first night games in cold and windy conditions, yet still managed to best a very good Biola* team that entered the game 4-0. Following the game, assistant coach Bobby Renneisen had nothing but praise for both teams; "This was the best team we've faced all year" says Renneisen. "It was just a great college soccer game. It could have gone either way." Renneisen added that Biola has 4 or 5 players with "special" talent. All of this makes the Cougars' performance on Friday even more impressive, and bodes very well for the team's outlook for the rest of the season. After a well-deserved week off, the Cougar men will be in action again when they host a very tough La Sierra squad on Sunday, October 1st. Kickoff is at 3:00 PM, and all CSUSM supporters are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on your Cougars! Another close loss for Women's Soccer September 19 2006. Though the Cougar women (1-6) played a tough, close game, the team once again failed to notch a victory, losing 1-0 to the visiting Vanguard University Lions (5-0-1) on Tuesday. Both squads had scoring chances, and CSUSM never allowed Vanguard to establish total control of play. Still, Vanguard held the upper hand for most of the match, out-shooting the Cougars 12-6 with a 9-3 advantage in shots-on-goal. Vanguard tallied the only score of the match in the 20th minute. The Lions' Heather Hutton made a run through CSUSM's defense, finding some space deep in the Cougars' territory. She spotted teammate Rachel Housepian across the box, sliding her a pass that neither the Cougar keeper or defense could get to. Housepian struck the ball into the back of the net, giving the Lions a lead they would never relinquish. Most of the Cougars' opportunities came early on, with forward Clarissa Hidalgo leading the charge. Hidalgo recorded all three of CSUSM's shots on goal for the day, but opposing keeper Marissa Swift let none past. Tessa Smith and Kelly Wherry created chances from the midfield, and defender Lucia Asbury kept the Vanguard offense in check for most of the match. While the Lady Cougars have been playing better as of late, they're still searching for a way to earn a second victory in their inaugural season. They'll try again on October 1st in a game against La Sierra University. The match will kickoff at 1:00 PM on Mangrum Track & Soccer Field, so come on down to cheer on your Cougars! another level.. This year, the team Will feature six active returning players. The squad will be led by senior Jenneil French, and she should shine in her last year as a Cougar. French's drive and determination will help her develop into a player capable of competing at the professional level. Right behind French is junior Çarly Ludwig. Ludwig led the team at the National Championships, finishing in the top 20, which Coach Segura says is just a preview of what this young lady can do. Ludwig, along with French, should lead the Cougars to achieving their goals for the upcoming season. Along with those experienced golfers, new additions to the team include freshmen Irene Atkins (Laguna Niguel, CA), Marissa Reino (Huntington Beach, CA), Adriana Borman (West Covina, CA), and Katiiryn Hansen (Moorpark, CA). They will compete for spots on tournament rosters, and help push their teammates to stay on top of their games. Though last season was a great year for the lady cougars, it is believed that this year's roster is even strppger, and thatthe % team can once again put itself in National Championship contention. �Al &X Ej i ( 1 Tuesday, September 26, 2006 _ ____ THE PRIDE Beck's Oktoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Bavaria in 1810 to commemorate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

MMA: Gracie Jui Jitsu BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Sports Writer Enter 3 Freshman. Exit an Officer.

A young Brazilian man once brought an idea to the American media: a dream of making his family's unique style of martial arts the number one style to beat. Unless your last name was Gracie, nobody at that time had ever heard of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, which would later be known as Gracie Jui Jitsu. This was a style .of martial arts where being on your back meant you were in control. The Gracie family felt they could revolutionize the martial arts world. Thfc Gracie's put out a challenge to anyone who would listen, especially those of the Martial Arts world. November 12, 1993, Rorion Gracie introduced the world to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) It was a venue where the Gracie family could showcase their own style of Martial Arts; a no holds barred, 'vale tudo' (anything goes), no rules style of fighting. Unlike the traditional ring boxers and wrestlers use, the UFC uses an Octagon, an eight sided ring linked together by a fence and poles. The main objectives were simple, make your opponent submit or "tap out", knock him out or get knocked out. Two men would enter and only one would leave and go on to the next round. At that time, fighters^ were not well rounded. They only knew one or maybe two styles of martial arts. The first three shows of the UFC fights were dominated by one Gracie. He was Photo courtesy of ufc.com the chosen one, the one who would represent the Gracie family; Royce Gracie. Everyone and anyone who thought they could fight or thought that their style of martial arts was the best were proven wrong that night Royce stepped into the Octagon. For the first 4 years he was the "UFC". Nobody was able to beat "Gracie Jui Jitsu" let alone handle the submissions. After the phenomenon of Gracie Jui-Jitsu took over, everyone jumped on the Jui- Jitsu band wagon. The UFC of today is different then in the Gracie days. Today's fighters have mastered Jui Jitsu and have moved on, adding Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing to their arsenal. Introducing Mixed Martial Arts, which in laymen's terms means any style of martial arts that one trains in. Today you can find an increasing number of MMA training facilities gearing up to accommodate all those eager for the challenge of Mixed Martial Arts. l WHBH EZr (760) 744-3732 Carlsbad (760) 929-0875 .»SÄ i tmiifiiii in mffflHEdap &\1 DAPHNES» Monday ¡Vite Macinerò Tubù.

Parked in the VIP parking section, at 1 p.m. there were not very many cars or people. The wind was knocking people and tents over, but didn't stop the heat. Unfortunately by 3 p.m. there were already people who were not going to see the concert because the melting heat had already gotten the best of them. A word of advice: to fend off dehydration, always bring a bunch of water to hot concerts. To my surprise, the parking lotfilledup within the hour and even more so as the show went on. After enjoying the pre-concert tailgate with other fans and blasting music in the parking lot, we made our way to the gates of the Hyundai Pavilion. Atreyu was the first on stage. We were only able to catch the closing act of their show since the lines to get into the concert were filled with intoxicated people who just slowed the rest of us down. Lines for food, shirts and other merch were extremely long; but none matched up to line of the ATM machine. At every break between bands the machine would have over fifty people waiting. After Atreyu, Buckcherry took the stage. Their lead singer, with his head full of firecolored hair, conversed with the crowd as he sang, though at times he seemed to talk a little too much during his songs. Since it was still in early in the afternoon, there were no lights for his set, just videos of him singing along on the huge screens placed above and to the sides of the stage. Up next was Rise Against. They really got the crowd involved, egging them on and telling stories, graciously thanking California for supporting the Chicago-based band. Their music was clear and executed well. The band moved about the stage in a nonchaotic manner and seemed to be relaxed. 30 Seconds to Mars marched onto the stage with red and white flags, numerous fans, and covered faces. The show they put on was not very complex and focused almost completely on the lead singer, Jared Leto. Leto talked a lot about how he was once like us, the crowd, and would sneak up to the front. Instead of just playing his music, Leto encouraged people to get as close as they could and just not get caught. During t h e _ first song, you couldn't even hear him sing. Then Leto that hung from the light racks just to tell the audience what a great view it was; they only yelled for him to jump off He didn't. Papa Roach stole thè stage. Jumping with enthusiasm, literally, he got the crowd to get out of their seats, sing along and rock óut. They sang songs from their newly-released album that came out last week and went through different songs only to end with three classic songs from their first album. They had a great attitude and understood how to make the crowd happy. Avenged Sevenfold was the next band up and had a little trouble. The singer blew out his vocal chords while making their new album that should be released soon, so while he was singing at the concert it was hard to hear him. They played the music louder than he could sing so the difference in his damaged voice could not be heard. Even so, it was still a good show. However, the almostnaked dancing girls around them were more repulsive than attractive. They looked more like they were having spasms than dancing, and it really took away from the show. After a long pause, Muse stole the stage and blew away the competition. People around me gasped, as they had never, heard of Muse before and were in awe of their talents. Lights blazed and the band played like no other. There was no useless talking like other bands had done, they just played one song into another. Their musical style is very unique and amazing in concert. The singer not only sings but also plays the guitar and the piano many times in one song. The band only has three members. They were amazing and put on a show that had people in the crowd, including my husband who had never heard them before, saying they will go see this band again. Alice In Chains and Guns 'N Roses put on a very good show. I was amazed at how much the new singer for Alice In Chains sounded like the old one. As for Guns N Roses, although it was just as good, I wish I would have been able to see the original band. It just wasn't the same as it would have been to hear the GNR we all remember. But a good rock show. it was all in all 1 band really contribEach all, and it was apparuted their people who worked ent that concert got involved at the looked out for the and really who came to see the p eople like those who got dehymusic, early on. drated S APA i r?

Sound like fun? You bet it is! The thrilling cardiac-arrest inducing roller coaster ride that is "Crank" comes highly recommended by this reviewer. Not having been to a movie in a few months and having heard my father rant and rave about thisfilm,as well as a plethora of my guy friends, I was fairly skeptical upon entering the miovie theater to see afilmthat critics have pigeon-holed as a "guy flick." "Is this really going to be worth the $7.50 for the ticket and the $4.25 for the Mr. Pibb I just shelled out?" I thought as I walked through the vacant theater. Having missed the credits entirely, my friend and I entered the stadium just as Jason Statham (from "The Transporter") woke up from his "Beijing Cocktail." What ensued next was 85 minutes full of mind-blowing (literally in some parts) action—we're talking all-bets-are-off-don't-trythis-even-if-you-do-only-have-onehour-to-live gnarly stuff—not to mention plenty of blood and gore and a fair share of profanity and scantily clad women. Chev Chelios (Statham), a professional hit man who is poisoned by a sleazy rival gangster, Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo), opens up the movie with the discovery that he's been injected with a lethal Chinese toxin and only has one hour left to live. Poison blocking the adrenal receptors in his body, the only way Chelios will hope to stay alive in the movie is to constantly keep adrenaline pulsing through his veins. This being the case, he resorts to insane methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping, and I can't imagine anyone attempting the outrageous stunts that Chelios pulls off in "Crank." Ever. Period. I won't ruin the plot or any of the pants-wetting action scenes for you if you do choose to see it, but I will say "Crank" delivers your money's worth and more. Next time you find yourself reaching for a can of Redbull or Monster, put it down and head to your local theater to see "Crank" It'll cause more adrenaline than you can handle to pulse throughout your body. "Crank" will have you up for days. Image courtesy of Lionsgate Films � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The meetings which are scheduled for the second Thursday of every month are mandatory for all Club Sports members.

On Monday the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Club placed tombstones on the grass with suicide statistics printed on each one as a reminder to passing students about the prevalence and preventability of student suicide. On Thursday the 21st the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Club will be showing their one hour video, "The Truth About Suicide" twice. One showing will be during the University Hour in Academic Hall room number 102. The other showing will be in the Clarke Field House from 6 p.m., in the large conference room across I the hall from the Grand Salon. The room which can hold 130 people „was almost at capacity with almost 100 people attending the meeting. The students sat with their group or team at each table. "If you want to be a Club Sport then you have to be here,' said (JJ) John C. Getskow Jr. who is a Photo by Kelly Corrigan J The Pride With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Over five hundred and sixty CSUSM students are enrolled in women's studies classes this fall. Approximately fifty two of that number either major or minor in women's studies. But since 2001, there have been only two full time faculty members in the women's studies department. With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Today the women's studies program includes four student organizations. The Women's Studies Student Association is one of them. Nancy Martinez-Molano, president of WSSA is a double major in Women's Studies and Criminology & Justice. Martinez-Molano is a first generation college student and wants to become a human rights and immigration lawyer. "The program has helped me accomplish goals and has given me opportunity.

Getskow is also a liaison for the Surf Team. "Domanic Thomas is one of those down to earth people; I enjoy working for him and with him. Even though we have work to get done we always have good times and some good laughs," he said. "Domanic Thomas seemed like he was there to help, he also seemed like he knew how to get stuff done and didn't want to mess around," said Jennifer Brich who is a Math Major and a member of the CSUSM Cheerleading Squad who plans to graduate in 2010. The main points that were emphasized by Thomas during the meeting were that the Club Sports do not have a lot of financial funding or insurance. Many participants of Club Sports were unaware of this fact, which was stressed as vital by Thomas. Another point that was brought up was that of participation and commitment by the teams. Thomas informed the students that dedicated teams would be able to do more and most importantly remain a team. "You can be fined for not meeting my expectations" and "You will not like me if you do not turn in your paperwork," he said, explaining that Club Sports' eligibility depends not only on the commitment of the members to the team, but also to the rules and regulations of the campus. The meeting was concluded with the teams being told that the team with "the most points" would be awarded £ fully funded party of their tastes come April of the Spring 2007 semester.

The meeting then proceeded outside as balloons were tossed about on the outside basketball court, in a competition in which two members from each Club Sport tossed balloons for accuracy at increasing distances. Laughter and conversation between members of the various teams could be heard during the event. "I bring passion for sports but more importantly [I want to see] student's growth outside of the classroom," said Thomas. As advice to students, Getskow said, "make sure you come down to the Field House and check on availability of sports and give your support to those who are being active in the school community, by becoming a spectator for your favorite sports". "In the future I see [Club Sports] getting more competitive as the school grows and becomes more traditional and less of a commuter feel," said Thomas. Thomas also noted "Club Sports can not expand much further without more space... they are trying to build CSUSM's image up to the outside world and will not let any of these teams embarrass [CSUSM] by showing up late, ^unorganized, or with bad behavior." If the teams that attended the first official meeting for Clubs Sports follow the regulations and standards set forth by Thomas then CSUSM shall see a few more trophies and more prestige added to the image of CSUSM.

We need a third professor to help other students like me to accomplish their goals." The Student Discussion Leader program gives students the opportunity to lead discussions in front of their peers in the classroom. Iota Iota Iota is an honor society in support of students going into grad schools. These organizations have laid a path for students looking to make a difference. The most recently founded organization is the The ASI Women's Center. Each organization has spawned campus activities and student participation. Cheyenne Barr, the director of Men's Activism and Outreach, President of Progressive Activists Network and President of the Women's Center, believes women's studies can be applied to various students. "We're not fighting to save ourselves but trying to save it for other majors." Discussion is underway to change the name of women's studies to women gender and sexuality studies. She looks for classes to include men and masculinity, sex work and prostitution among others. With all this contribution, Barr says, "We're still left with two faculty members and no more." And with only two full time professors, students find it challenging to fulfill their requirements by their Administration officials are discussing hiring a third full-time womens studies faculty member. to receive a new professor. On Friday ASI listened attentively while CSUSM students and alumni stated their case as to why a third professor is needed. The resolution has been forwarded to President Karen Haynes although it is still up to the students to planned graduation date. Last Friday the women's studies program stated their case in front of ASI who in the past has always helped to see the needs of the women's studies program get fulfilled. ASI resolved the first step of a three part stage Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride asking students to participate in a Story Writing Campaign.

But what International and exchange students are really doing besides taking exams and writing papers in a classroom, are learning about the world. They meet people who become a life long connection across the world or maybe in a neighboring country. They leave everything at home to get a real taste of life and return with a renewed vision of the world. And it is exactly this that International Student Advisor Danielle McMartiri loves to see. For those who choose to study at CSUSM work with McMartin during their stay at CSUSM. Some students choose to stay for a semester, others for a year, and other students stay for the four years it takes them to receive their bach- ments, there are about twenty elors degree.

Did you see any cheerleaders last year? How many? You could not have because cheerleading has never officially been a part of CSUSM. September 14th marked the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. Tryouts will be held September 18th through September 23rd. CSUSM Cheer is going to be a traveling competition squad. Slight confusion could be seen during the first meeting for the CSUSM Cheer which was simultaneously held during the first official meeting of Club Sports. "We don't even know who our leader or instructor is" confessed one of the twelve present cheerleaders. The cheerleaders seemed cheerful and energetic as they conversed amongst each other before the meeting began. They remained silent and attentive, minus one audible cell phone ring tone, during the lecture given by Domanic Thomas who is the ASI Coordinator for Campus Recreation. "[CSUSM Cheer] are in the process of becoming a recognized Club Sport; they must show that they have the numbers, organization, and a competitive division/ league to compete in, At this time, they have demonstrated organization [such S an M arcos a Creekside Market Place DAPHNES 595 Grand Avenue San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 7 44-3732 Carlsbad (700)929-0875 iiWfiRD Oceanside |7§0) 4&-18Ó1 MillMiasms laving w d t m m m «titer f«ai*, Gmfc & Detó»* Gyros Pita t A Q Q ; as] paperwork and are gaining numbers but have yet to secure a competitive division to compete in for Spring 2007," said Thomas. When asked where do you see CSUSM Cheer taking CSUSM Thomas replied, "Hopefully to a state funded level competition nationally after removing [no stunting] restrictions." When asked the same question Jennifer Brich, who is a Math Major planning on graduating in 2007 stated, "I want the squad to grow into an award winning cheer squad" which "requires hard work." No male CSUSM students were seen at the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. When asked about a possible coed CSUSM Cheer Brich f eplfd, "I think co-ed cheer squads are great" and Thomas stated; "It is something that will happen if we cap remove the [no] stunting clause." . Minus the no stunting clause which is already gaining animosity, the CSUSM Cheer seems off to a great start for the first time ever here at CSUSM. Keep your eyes peeled for their future events as they bounce and spin their way into CSUSM history, pompoms and all. Give me a CO-U-G-A-R-P-R-I-D-E! "It's going to be a bumpy start " said Brich.

Lu^rs adeptly slipped a pass ¿cross the box, connecting with Seidenglanz, who tapped it into the open corner of the net. Up 1-0 with 60 minutés left to play, the task for the Cougars was just to hold on. Goach Ron Pulvers switched to a strategy based on counterattacking in thé second half, which resulted in more opportunities for the Cougars. After some near misses, disaster struck in the 67th minute. Following a hard foul by Point Loma, Troy Skomra threw a ball at a Point I^oma player. A brief skirmish followed, but both teams' coaches quickly broke it up. However, Skomra was red-carded; leaving the Cougars a man down for the remainder of the match. With its newfound advantage, Point Loma pushed hard to equalize the score. However, the San Marcos defenders, led by senior Ben Grouse, held strong; and goalkeeper i rent Painte* did not let anything past. Though he was only called Men's on to make two saves, Painter's decision making was excellent as usual en route to his fifth shutout of the year. As the final whistle sounded, the Cougars celebrated, knowing they had earned their most impressive win of the season thus far. They won't have long to savor the victory, though - they'll be back on Mangrum Field this Tuesday (9/19) against Vanguard University. Any and all CSUSM fans are welcome to attend the 4:00 PM game and cheer on their 7-1 Cougars! CSUSM Paintball BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer In their first official event last weekend, The Cal State San Marcos Paintball team, lead by team Captain Wesley Quach, was able to place third out of a field of over twenty collegiate teams; As of Spring 2006, thanks to a number of organized and determined students, CSUSM has offered Paintball as a club sport. The team consists of full time stu- dents who play in leagues against other college club teams such as UC Santa Barbara and Point Loma. Through ASI funding, the Paintball team is able to purchase equipment, rent field space, and travel to tournaments including last week's. The cable sports network ESPN will be covering future regional and national tournaments, like the one the CSU San Marcos team competed in last week.

With that said, here are the top 10 sports books that I have read. No. 10 — "Juiced" by Jose Canseco. I simply recommend this book because of its hilarity. Canseco does have an extensive knowledge of steroids but he also shows his lack of knowledge on pretty much everything else in the world. If you want to know who took steroids during the 1990's through 2000's then read this book. No. 9 - "Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life" by Richard Ben Cramer. Probably the best book to give you a sense of what baseball and the United States were like from the early 1930's to the early 1950's. No. 8 - "I May Be Wrong, But I doubt It" by Charles Barkley. I liked this book because you really won't find anyone else in sports that are willing to comment on issues of politics, race and society. When I read or hear something from Barkley I pay attention because he doesn't try to be dishonest and isn't insincere in what he is saying. No. 7. - "Oh My" by Dick Enberg. This is Enberg's autobiography, and for those of you who don't know who he is, he is a sports broadcaster. I admire^ his career because he knows a . i lot about every sport. I have tried to fashion my career much like his by learning as much as I can about every sport imaginable. I mean, Enberg even covered Roller Derby in the early days of his career. No. 6 - "I Never Had It Made" - Jackie Robinson. This is the autobiography of the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Everyone knows that aspect about Robinson, but this book taught me so much more about him. What impressed me most about his book is the air of confidence, bordering on cockiness, in which he wrote about his life. It further cemented my opinion that in order to change the world for the better, you have to be so cocky that you think nothing can stop you. No. 5 - "A Shark Never Sleeps" by Drew Rosenhaus. The NFL super agent wrote this autobiog- L .r raphy before he was infamous after the whole Terrell Owens versus Philadelphia Eagles incident. Rosenhaus really is a brilliant and creative mind and this book takes you into his process of how he used that creativeness to make him into a very successful, NFL agent. No. 4 - "The Last Season" by Phil Jackson. All Los Angeles Lakers fans know about this book. It takes you into the breakup of the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Jackson dynasty. I read this book in about two days, because it was so compelling. No. 3 - "Game of Shadows" by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. This book is what is going to keep Barry Bonds out of the MLB hall of fame. This is some of the best reporting you will ever see on any subject. They also stand behind their findings « Ua » rnn t'«fnmAHC O miirh tliat tllPV mav e s CAr\i A so much that they may bKf»erving time in prison soon because they are unwilling to give up their sources to a grand jury. No. 2 - "License To Deal" by Jerry Crasnick. This book follows two young MLB agents who are trying to make it in a backstabbing industry by being honest. I worked with an MLB agent for about a year and realize how hard that task will be for those guys. No. 1-"Moneyball"by Michael Lewis. This book changed the way people look at baseball. Rather than just looking at pure talent, people are now analyzing numbers more than ever. No book has really ever done that to any sport, except for this book. When you read this, you think to yourself, "Why didn't I realize that?" If you have any sports books recommendations, send them to Sando026@csusm.edu. L etter to t he E ditor: Women's Studies I would like to take this opportunity to inform the student body that over 560 students are ^ rolled in Women's Studies Masses.

For the majority ofus who are working, finding time can be hard to participate in extra curricular activities but always keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for something that just might fit into your Palm Pilot between school and work. I was able to attend "Luann: Scenes from a Teen's Life" on Friday the 15th of September at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido which started promptly at 7 p.m. My girlfriend is a huge comic fan, asher stacks ofread and reread comic books lying around in her room suggest, so naturally I had no say in the matter. Except, "You are paying for dinner after the show" I grunted. The show was only $10 per seat which is just maybe a dollar or two above a regular movie theatre ticket. The wait to purchase the tickets was approximately five minutes which only left us two minutes to get in and seated. When asked if we wanted bottom row off to the center, top row off to the center, or lastly top row almost in the middle I chose the latter. The view was perfect on the second story seating area. The theatre was almost full with about 20 seats left unseated. You could catch a glimpse of the live music coming from an open section in front of the main stage in front of thefirstfloorseating area through an array of mirrors. Jenny quickly pointed out that we were four seats away from Greg Evans who wrote the script for the play and who is the artist for the Luann comic strip. No recording of anything from any device was allowed, but a quick snap of the artist himselffrommy photo equipped cell phone did not harm anyone. Center ARTES of CSUSM helped direct the play. The music throughout the musical was awesome, mainly due to the fact that the music was live and executed so well throughout the entire play. The lighting was also magnificent and highlighted every scene appropriately and accurately. The themes of the musical focused on high school but could easily be associated with issues surrounding college students, such as the complexity of women and the simplicity of men, guys and their cars, and dreams of certain likable individuals. I also learned that "no" can be a good word and a bad word depending on whose opinion you take. A concessions stand provided coffee, tea, and light snacking at reasonable prices. Dozens of shops and eateries surrounded the theater so a pre-dinner or a post dinner was a viable option to complete a full night. Parking was easy and driving to and from the theatre was done with ease. On the trek back to Temecula, I looked back on the play and was glad that Jenny made me go. The play was great. I found myself getting really emotional at times during the sad or extremely happy moments. I also found myself letting out my girlish beast-like squeak of laughter during sarcastic moments. Greg Evans seemed to give approval of the musical as he cheered on the cast members after the musical had concluded; that resulted in a standing ovation. I along with Mr. Evans concur, it t'was a wonderful musical and I could have missed out. BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Gatley / The Pride September marks the Stone Brewing Company's 10th anniversary, which they've chosen to celebrate with custom bottles of their famous India Pale Ale and a generous charitable fundraising event. Located; i n E scondido, S tone B reweries i s o ne of the few breweries local to the North County. Stone breweries emphasizes that their beer uses no additives preservatives, adjuncts or pasteurization. The result is a crisp and clean beer with a pleasant aftertaste. With 6.9% alcohol per volume , and smooth hoppy flavor, Stone's award winning India Pale Ale is an excellent beer for general drinking sessions. It pours well in a golden chestnut color, with an earthy aroma and a full foamy head that lingers with an almost perfect spider webbed lacing after each sip. The ale smells slightly of pine and tropical fruit. Stone IPA does not taste piney however, it is a bold blend of malt and hops with a slight hint of fruitiness and a slight smoky flavor. Stone's IPA is best served at 40-45 degrees in a chilled pint glass or mug. Its mouthfeel is rich with the right amount ofcarbonation and a hint of tartness from t heir celebrated "generous dry-hopping". Lom( Víketyview: BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer/ The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is very much like a music venue. It's a good place to go see local bands, friends and meet new people. That is if you like the rock or punk music. The place opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. Upon entering, there is security to make sure people are of age. At this place, after 10 p.m. people must be 21 an up to enter on "gig" nights. These are the nights that bands play. But on regular nights, like football Sunday and Monday, it's open to everyone The beer is excellent as a stand alone, but would do well with rich curries or other spicy foods. It also works well along side salty aperitifs or cheeses. With a high alcohol and high hop content though, it can l eave a d rinker f eeling t hirsty. The Stone Breweries IPA is available in 22oz Bottles, extra large three liter bottles and a limited edition draft version. The bottled versions of the 10th anniversary brew include special quotes and interviews on the back from the staff at the breweries, as well as a redesigned label graphic. While the redesign is a nice touch, the taste and features of the ale alone sell it. However, something else to that is perhaps more noteworthy is that during their 10th year anniversary fundraising event, the staff of Stone Breweries has raised almost $20,000 for such local causes as Boys and Girl's Club of San Marcos, Palomar Family YMCA, the Surfrider Foundation and FightALD.org. Between it being brewed at a local brewery, the company engaging in admirable philanthropic causes and the ale being excellent, Stone India Pale Ale is a great beer to drink, and now is a great time to drink it. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride Once upon a time, in a bar far, far away, I sipped at my cocktail and announced, "I can't taste the tea in this drink." Scoffed at by my more mature bar-going pals, I was laughingly informed, "There's no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea!" And so it was that I learned that the brownish hue of the drink, which so resembles iced tea, is actually due to a splash of cola. The fact that it is usually served in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon wedge also may deceive the naive drinker. The educated cocktail maven will no doubt know that the Long Island Iced Tea is a veritable liquid smorgasbord of hard liquor, a collusion of 1 part vodka, 1 part tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part gin, 1 part triple sec, 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix, and 1 splash Cola that can leave even the iron-bellied drinker weakkneed and stupid. There might not be tea in a Long Island Iced Tea, but its origins have indeed been traced to Long Island - the question is, howeyer, which Long Island. The most related version of the story has it created by a man named "Rosebud" and making its debut sometime in the mid-1970s. Another version insists that the potent potable hails from a community called Long Island in Tennessee and dates back to theT920s. Whichever history you subscribe to, there is no doubt that this drink is not for the timid. Those with a sweet tooth, however, may prefer to sweeten it up with variations such as substituting raspberry liqueur, peach schnapps or cranberry juice* for cola. In any case, fill a cocktail shaker half-way with iqe, pitch in all ingredients except cola, shake and pour into a Collins glass filled with ice, and add a splash of cola for color or substitute as desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge, make sure you aren't driving anywhere that day, and serve. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill free of entrance charge. On gig nights there is an entrance charge that changes depending on who is playing; it's usually between $7 and $12. The security and staff are friendly there, though appearances can be deceiving. Everyone seemed to be enjoying him or herself, and it wasn't because most of them were drunk. Yes, there is a lot of alcohol at this place. It is built like the Whiskey a Go Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip and many other venues on it. When you walk in you are glowing, literally. They have black lights set up. Straight in front of you is about seven tables and too many chairs to count. To your right is the door to the patio and two pool tables. To your left is the stage and dance floor The stage has enough room for a band to fit comfortably and move. The danceflooris in front of the stage and to the left of it is the bar where you can order drinks and food. It's a smaller venue but is filled with windows and the space is open for easy movement. Surprisingly, in this small venue there is enough room for a small mosh-pit before the stage, and there was one happening Friday night. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is filled with people of all types, from the casual person to the extreme. I saw a bunch of colored Mohawks, which made the room look like a rainbow, a lot of leather jackets, tight jeans, ripped jeans, band shirts and more. But that wasn't all. Like I said, it's a great variety of people but all love the rock music. For people who don't like the rock music, loud places, or anything like a music venue, this i s not the place for you. But if you do like rock music, a friendly atmo-* sphere, loud music and pool, or even sitting on a patio with food, you'll like this place. It even has two arcade games and special events for different occasions. An example of this is the football xbox game Madden that they get people to play on football Sundays. That isn't all they offer, though. This place isn't always playing music from bands; it has other events as well posted on their website. So if you'd like to give it a visit, it's off of the Rancho Santa Fe exiton the left side ofthe ^tfeeton Capalina Roa<|. My overall experience at this place was a good one; I loved the people, the music and the space it offered. I encourage students to stop by and test the place out. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To answer many of these questions The Pride contacted the Planning, Design and Construction Staff here at CSUSM to see what, if any, plans addressing these concerns exist. In a discussion with Bradly Fenton, the Project Manager in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer make arrangements to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon. In order for any construction to be started an environmental impact study must be completed. Last month the study was finalized and made available for public review. From this point all that is left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon were being implemented. The plans call for a sigPLANS, SEE page 2 On; Wednesday September 6 at approximately 5 p.m., a faculty member driving a late model Volkswagen van through the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road struck a pedestrian crossing the road. The driver of the van, CSUSM faculty member Dr. Gary Addou, was questioned by CSUSM police. Pedestrian and faculty member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library, received medical attention and was taken to a near by hospital. No charges are being filed by either party at this time. CSUSM police found that the driver was the party most at fault based on vehicle code 21950 (c) which states that "the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within a crosswalk shall reduce speed of the vehicle or take any action or other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." However according to CSUSM police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident: The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see in the direction of the pedestrian. It was also found that the victim did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2 Gattey / T b M i « 6 at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Rd.

In addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized intersections throughout campus are being drafted. While the recent accident won't change any of the time tables for construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need for one. According to Fenton, the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled intersection for the protection of both vehicles and pedestrians on campus. Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an option; however each intersection would require four bridges. At a cost of half a million dollars each, bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to 250 thousand dollars. Signalized intersections are significantly cheaper than pedestrian bridges. According to Fenton, bridges are typically a waste of money as well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic engineers have noted that people traditionally don't use pedestrian bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street." Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may be built to come off the structure and connect to campus, however this project is six to seven years away. As soon as funding becomes available it should take approximately six months to complete the signalized intersection. The money has been requested, and if the proposed educational bond passes in November, the money will become available. That same bond will also fund the next campus building, the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. After the environmental impact study has been completed, the project takes approximately six to eight months with documents and bidding. Construction takes about three months. At this point during next semester, assuming the funding is allocated, construction on the signalized intersection could be completed. r noto Dy David Gatley / The Pride C SUSM Police respond to the s cene of the accident on Wednesday.

Right now the gas prices run from about $2.87 to $3.32 and up. For students on-campus, gas isn't as much of an issue. On-campus students don't need to drive to class, and sometimes may not even own a car, while commuters are driving anywhere from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly housing than those renting an apartment in other areas of San Diego. At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located at the base of the hill the college is built on. Built by the Allen and OHara business the CSUSM on-campus housing complex is walking distance from the school and can currently hold up to about 568 students. The dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside. At the University Village Apartments, where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a dorm that holds six people, a shared room costs $500. For a dorm that holds four people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same basic amenities as the dorms, would cost around $600; of course there are exceptions with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in. A two bedroom, on average, starts around $700, not including any extra bills. It gets a lot more expensive if you want newer or From SURFING, page 1 more conveniently located apartments as well. Melanee Pile, a current senior at CSUSM, currently works and lives and attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said, when I asked her how she likes living in the dorms. When asked if some students felt constrained by living with so many other students so close to where they go to school she replied saying, "not regular dorm style. Its more like an apartment feels." With an "open community, not like a (jail) cell." When asked about comparing it to living off campus and commuting to school she said its "easier than commuting." All last year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes to make it to campus. While not economically beneficial to everyone, namely those living at home or sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to school, there is however a waiting list. With limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA has a waiting list for those seeking to get a spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live on-campus later in their academic careers and for students that will attend CSUSM in the coming years, a new parking structure for on-campus students is on the way in about a year and hopefully in three years a new "tower" of on-campus apartments will be put in to give more rooms for more students. On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30 am - 3:00 pm at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside tryouts will be held for Men's and Women's Shortboard and Coed Longboard. To sign up for tryouts students can go to the Field House Recreation Center counter. Students must bring a student ID and a photocopy and a photocopy of a health insurance card. Also a participation packet and entry form must befilledout, both are available at Field House. Students must also pay an entry fee (cash or check only At payable to ASI Surf Team) amounts are $15 if signed up by September 21, $20 if signed up by September 28, and $25 for beach entry.

JJ . Getsklw is a first time resident advisor who lived in the dorms last year. "Now that we have soccer, that's been a highlight for our residents." There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and his wife. "Any student loves free food. That's how we attract them to our programs." But the UVA isn't the only one producing fun activities for students to take part in. "Through the efforts of ASI, the Clarke Field House and the RA's, we've had a lot of interest in activities," Getsklw said. According to Getsklw, most of the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise complaints. With rooms of up to six roommates, each roommate is allowed to have three guests. "If it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are over twenty one, if not then it's us who pour it out." If there is an incident with alcohol or marijuana, it is the resident advisor's job to write out an IR or incident report. "If it's a first time offence, the student has a conduct meeting held by either Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or Desiree Woodruff. They handle all the conduct issues. RAs have nothing to do with the conduct meeting or punishment," Getsklw said. As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is the worst thing you can do here." The result of getting caught with marijuana is two strikes against the student. It takes three before a student can get evicted. "With a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students because there is an agreement with the campus on that issue." As for the freshman, they seem to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's roommates, she says, "We're all pretty cooperative, sometimes we have misunderstandings over cleaning but we always resolve it." During the third week of school, open door week took place for siudents to mingle with each other. Alex Ingram said, "The RAs try hard but they should have done open door week during the first week of school." His roommate Alfon Allen said, "I have a problem with dorm rules, the quiet hours shouldn't be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates but it's a lot like a war bunker. It teaches us responsibility and how to make situations good." Photp by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to your iPod or napped during a short introduction regarding the Accounting Society you missed a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and connections, and ultimately a future career in accounting. Most students would agree that this is not the best way to start a semester. Fortunately for those who are still interested or dare to be different and be involved with CSUSM making it the great campus that it is today, the Accounting Society is still looking for you. The CSUSM Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the Bylaws for the group) is more commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students. "We are looking at increasing our memberships from interring business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro who is the current President of the Accounting Society who is an Accounting Major who plans to graduate this December of 2006 said Alfaro. The Accounting Society is recognized as "the oldest club", according to Alfaro, and was established before the current CSUSM campus was built and the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting i professionals and so students could get a good understanding of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students prepared" for classes and future careers said Alfaro. A trend can be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni often times work in the firms that donate to CSUSM or directly to Accounting Society and other Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly meetings currently in Markstein Hall 104 on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour. Students should expect "to get professional knowledge and to held August 30th said Alfaro. "All students are encouraged to get involved now and attend the meetings," said Alfaro. Still think that Accounting Society is not for you, maybe perhaps it's too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some last minute questions regarding the Accounting Society late and extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky music" by Wild Cherry throbbed through the phone. Open the door yourself and check out one of these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

The Accounting Society also holds events off campus that help students with their careers and networking. This past week on September 7th the Accounting Society held and invent at Carlsbad Windmill called Clear Connections that "over 65 students and over 50 professionals attended," said Alfaro. The next two weeks will hold four meetings for the Accounting Society on the 13th, 14th, 20th, and the 21st of which they will be held in Markstein Hall 104 from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour, and foodprovided of course. Enrollment for the Accounting Society "has really increased, we have 80 total student members and we had over 110 attendees at the last meeting" which was i oeatía©^' •M i iS , : x if I'm 76O.744 C OLLEGE m - A N Y T I M E ! liiiiifln linfattr «Monday Nlt& Mmztn&as IT fcnfSft u&x Night Tmsm^^P \4~6jpm S-iOpm 277 S.

People worldwide have been expressing their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards wildlife preservation. The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team went into Saturday's game with the objective of winning for the university and in memory of Steve Irwin. On Saturday September 9, after two scoreless halves between CSUSM and visiting Pomona Pitzer, the game headed into double overtime. Senior Ben Crouse, a transfer from the University of Notre Dame, set up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal. Immediately after the goal, Seidenglanz sprinted towards the Cougar fans, raising his jersey and unveiling his "In Memory of Steve Irwin" undershirt. "I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The teammates and I thought of a way to celebrate his life." In an offensive 1-0 struggle, the men's team endured a physical contest, testing their will and determination. A visibly bigger and athletic Pomona team disrupted the play of the confident Cougars. "We were not as sharp, or focused* today," said Coach * Ron Pulvers. "Our concentration was o ff" On several occasions the Cou- Photo by David Gatley / The Pride Pictured above is number 16 CSUSM mens's defender Ben Crouse sending the ball up the field. gars were not able to capitalize on scoring opportunities which could have given them an early psychological and tactical advantage.

The men's team remains undefeated at home and 4-1 on the season. �Jock Talk With Josh: Steve Foley BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer It has been a little over a week now since Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot by an offduty Coronado police officer. I have spent that week reflecting on the whole situation. Aaron Mansker, the off-duty cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley was swerving at various speeds on Interstate freeway 163 in the early hours after 2 AM, nearly hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his home on Travertine Court in Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over and attempting to let him know that he was an officer. I personally haven't had the best experiences with cops, partially because some of my friends are not that bright, and simply because I am Latino. I can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is not accustomed to diversity and having two cop cars pull onto the court with sirens blaring, asking me questions about who I was and what I was doing. That was in the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays in the NFL would be thinking if someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following him while waiving a gun. For all Foley knew, Mansker could have been some crazy fan. I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have to bring race into this?" Well, my answer is that because whether you want to admit it or not, race is a factor in nearly everything in life. I suggest taking Intercultural Communication 330 with Fredi Avalos or Sociology Inequality 311 with Donna Goyer. Those classes could clear some things up for you. got to be honest and say that if I am driving at 3 AM and someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over, there is no, way I am pulling over. I am waiting for back-up to show, because general protocol for most police departments state that an off-duty officer should not attempt an arrest immediately, but wait for uniformed officers to show up on the scene in marked cars. I, like Foley can only react on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a gun at me is not an officer, even if he claims to be one. Mansker claims that Foley reached for his waistband when he stepped out of his vehicle near his home. I don't know about any of you, but hearing that piece of news reminded me of the scene in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's character kills Larenz Tate's character. Phillippe thinks Tate is reaching for a gun in his jacket and Tate is actually trying to show him that they own the same religious artifact. Foley is a menacing looking dude, but everyone I know who has had experiences with him has had nothing but the nicest things to say about him. I have spent numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than Ladainian Tomlinson there may be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley. I am in no way defending Foley because the guy does have some alcohol related problems in his past and at the time l am writing this not much has been confirmed regarding this incident. All I am saying is that there are sketchy circumstances on both sides of the ball in this situation. By the way, if I offended any of the officers on this campus, I didn't mean it. I love you guys, so don't bother me. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful Do you all remember the days when Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell you to look both ways before you walk out into the street? Did you all somehow forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would hope that most of you would realize that it could have been you lying in the road. I do not know all the details, because it was minutes after I had crossed, but I hope anyone involved in the accident is alright. I understand everyone is in a hurry to get home or to work so you just walk out to get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but that won't always play in your favor. With the new lot F open, the line of cars trying to leave down the hill is incredible! Why not instead of walking by yourself across the road, holding up that line of traffic, you wait until there is a group of students t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm sure they are in just as big of a hurry as you are. We can't always have the campus police out there directing traffic so we need to be adults here and pay attention! Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the cars see you and stop, because they may not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf- fic light with the flashing hand allowing you to cross anytime soon so until then, look both ways before you cross, and let a few cars go until there are a few people to walk across with you.

It's easy to watch and easy on the brain. There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant Although the five boys, Caleb (Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef (Chance Crawford) are descendants from witches, they use something like super powers friore than spells and chants. Hurling balls of energy at one another, the boys struggle to maintain control of this addictive habit because using the powers they have will lead to very premature aging. The action scenes are fun and the special effects are well done, but not overdone. There are a lot of similar looking characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven or so names with characters, it's an enjoyable movie. There are also a few scantily clad girls weaved into the movie to add some diversity, but they don't have much to do with the story. As far as suspense goes, it doesn't have it. This is an action film with hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a sequel. There's no question about who the bad guy is and no misleading suspects. Everything is laid out for the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already know. There are a few minor issues that you just have to ignore in order to enjoy this film. The first and most obvious is the appearance of ghosts or spirits called "darklings" are never explained. The characters know what they are, but the audience is kept in the dark. Fortunately, they don't seem to do much except give the audience a cheap thrill. There are also a few characters introduced in the beginning that serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding identity confusion to an already overstuffed cast of young,, attractive actors. It's hard enough to tell them apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found annoying was the use of dialogue to explain the plot. Despite these faults of this movie, I did enjoy living in a fantasy world for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is completely good and the bad guy is almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any awards, but it will keep you entertained.

Noone seems to agree on the origins of the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and a bartender infatuated with a young lady named Margarita. However, this much is certain: the originator and all those who expanded upon his or her recipe are~true innovators in the colorful world of mixed drinks. A Strawberry Margarita has four basic i ngredients: tequila, strawberries, lime juice, and triple sec. It may come as a surprise that so many variations have been derived from this basic recipe. Still, while some prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and others simply must have frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please their sweet tooth, Tequila is another bone of contention as many have their own favorite brand. Arguably, however, any silver tequila will add a distinctiveflavorwhose heat will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of the 'rita. The biggest difference, perhaps, between the various Strawberry 'Ritas out there, is the method of blending. In some, the ingredients are stirred together with ice in a mixing glass and strained into a margarita glass. In others, the ingredients are tossed into a blender and intermingled into a slushy consistency: Yet, no matter what recipe or Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride method is preferred, the Strawberry Margarita will leave its drinker duly refreshed. A respectable Strawberry Margarita recipe (one serving): 1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor), 4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh strawberry, Coarse sugar. Combine all ingredients, save for the lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse sugar, in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime and dip into coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy! IP ^^W^OKï^Itt j y E ÉU BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer September marks the end of sumijier, aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers. Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive. The name brought to mind images of a number of sugary "malt beverages" such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade. While many people enjoy those sorts of drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of Restaurant reassurance before I tried one and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition. . P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed and bottled since the late 1980's by Pete's Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and twelve packs for a reasonable price. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde is brewed with pale and wheat malts, and yakima and tettnang hops. At five percent alcohol per Photo by David Gatley / The Pride volume, it's an excellent beer for a warm afternoon, though its unique taste may not be ideal for a extended drinking session. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich head which dissolves slowly leaving ropy lacings on the side of the glass. The beer itself is a pleasantly clear amber color. As it pours, you can clearly smell the wheat and a hint of strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet andfruitytaste, but not an over powering one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the sweetness of strawberry tempered against the rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat, but not unpleasant. Although available year round, this beer is best appreciated during the long days of summer; and since those days are quickly running out, it's best to enjoy a few before you miss your opportunity for the year. Review: arieta's F ine Mexican Food BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Marieta's Fine Mexican Food is one of 18 restaurants in Old California Restaurant Row, a mission-style complex that also offers a variety ofboutiques and an Edward's Cinema. Located on San Marcos Boulevard, Restaurant Row is less than three miles from CSUSM. The visitor to Marieta's, upon entering, is enveloped by the smell of Mexican spices and a softy buzzing energy. Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of colored glass and numerous string lights of various shapes and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green and honey-beige, the walls are bedecked with ceramic sun sculptures, wooden carvings, sepia-toned photographs, and paintings, one in particular depicting women dancing in a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas. The evening my husband and I visited, in less than five minutes the hostess had showed us to our table, our server had taken our order for drinks and an appetizer, and chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of the evening. Patrons of the restatfraat were diverse, including|pmil^ groups and young and^oider couples. All seemed relaxed and happy, diving into carne asada, enchiladas, tacos, and other fare with a healthy gusto. The presentation of my meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was simple, rice on one side, beans on the other, two enchiladas in between that were smothered in cheese and green tomatillo sauce and stuffed with moist, flavorful, shredded chicken. For the tequila connoisseur or those simply seeking to become intimately acquainted with tequila, Marieta's boasts a collection of 50. One of the 50 managed to find its merry way into my strawberry margarita, smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange. For two entrees, two drinks, and %o$e, appetizer we paid $42188.

ASI is a student run auxiliary which acts as the voice of the student body. As the students' advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such as concerts, festivals, intramural sports and other activities that students request for their enjoyment and betterment. Currently, there are five competitive club sport programs which include men and women's soccer, volleyball and two co-ed surf teams, but there are many more recreational activities offered to students; such as skiing and snowboarding, kayaking trips, paintASI, SEE page 2 To avoid registration holds, new CSUSM students born after Jan. 1,1957 have one semester to demonstrate proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella. The student should submit medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's verification of immunizations records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella. Immunization must have taken place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after the student's first birthday. First time students who are 18 or younger on Aug. 1 of their entering academic year must also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B. For those who cannot provide proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella and/ or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student Health and Counseling Services to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the other hand, involves a small fee. Walk-in clinic dates for MMR and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, Monday through Friday; Sept. 5 through 8, Tuesday through Friday; Sept. 18 through 22, Monday through Friday; Oct. 2 through 6, Monday through Friday; and Oct. 16 through 20, Monday through Friday. Times are 9 a.m. to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for all dates. An appointment may also be made for an MMR titer blood test to check immunity levels for Measles and Rubella. Students are advised to have a student identification card handy when visiting. Student Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made prior to the student's visit. Fees can be settled using cash, check, ATM, Visa or Master card.

On the first day of school, Kyle spent eight hours of his twelve hour shift directing traffic. Campus police officers will direct the traffic in pairs of two until Kyle said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up any time soon, especially with an increased amount of students leaving campus during university hour. Our campus isn't equipped with tunnels and bridges, and with the volume of people driving out of parking lot F each afternoon and walking to their cars, Kyle says he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new technology is built. "If we had a traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a chance to reduce our staffing." Currently we have ten CSOs working on campus. The university police department hopes to gain at least four more students. Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who were on patrol in their vehicle on Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In the past he has found a lost child and has interfered when two people attempted to break into a car on campus. He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort students on and around campus. "Many people don't know about it but we can escort them from the main campus to the Ralph's shopping center and Barham Apartments." Henriquez is a criminal justice major who has just finished her training. As student enrollment increases, the CSOs increase their squad by one officer each year. Our university has an impeccable safety record and a lot of credit can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing." CSO shifts are from eight in the morning to midnight. After midnight, campus police patrol the campus. And without a bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll be seeing a lot of them on campus during yet another transitional time. At the campus police dispatch at 441 La Moree Road in San Marcos, they are currently and continually seeking students to fill out applications for the Community Service Officer position. A background check similar to those that police officers undergo is required. r, v o o p c x ) S ATURDAYS ..

Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her Algebra Graph Theory course. Through her energetic and passionate character, Lovelace could see from the beginning that she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says, "I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that I could do this." Pamela Castillo, a literature major, couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors that stand out, including Professor Price, Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan. The faculty mentor program stands out the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been a wonderful friend and inspiration along with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis." Jesse Taylor, a computer science major, has seen students give up while taking introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't know how to teach or they just weren't enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad THE PRIDE Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in what he teaches, but he makes it fun and interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want to do with my life." Brittany Smith was doubtful whether she was going to become an accounting major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging professor I've ever had and that motivated me to meet that challenge." Smith spent the summer working for Sempra Energy through an internship and is happy about her career choice. With so many obstacles and doubts a college student can face day to day, we are fortunate to have a supporting staff to help ease any worries or concerns, or even to say "you can do this" without having to say it at all. Hector Navarrete, a criminal justice major, aims to join the Sheriff Academy or CHP after he graduates, There was a point when Navarrete wasn't sure what to major in.

From the NFC North expect the Chicago Bears to take the division for a second straight year. The NFC South will be won by the Carolina Panthers and the NFC West will go to the Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild Card spots will be taken by the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. The thing everyone wants to know is who will play in the super bowl. Here's a match-up for you to take to Vegas. The Dolphins and Panthers will be playing in the big game. The Panthers are without a doubt the favorite from the NFC. The Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith combination is amazing. DeShaun Foster finally gets the starting running back job. Even if Foster isn't healthy throughout the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo Williams and have another great backup in Nick Goings. They also Eli Manning and the New York Giants face Peyton Manning and the Colts. I don't know if brothers have ever faced one another at quarterback in the NFL, but this should be interesting. The Thanksgiving Day games will actually be some good ones for the first time in a long while. The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos play in one game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys play in another and in the stinker of the three the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions play. As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the AFC East the Dolphins will win the division. In the AFC North the Bengals will take it. The AFC South will go to the Colts and the AFC West will be won by the Chiefs. The two AFC Wild Card » spots will go to the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers.

Not to mention, Julius Peppers is a beast on the defensive side. The Dolphins is probably a pick that will raise some eyebrows, but hear me out on this one. The Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in the off-season. They already have a top deep threat wide receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They also have a top running back in Ronnie Brown to balance the offense. The 'Fins won six in a row to end last season to finish 97.1 expect that trend to continue into this season. They also only have six games against playoff teams from last season.

On Grappa's website I found out that Grappa offers a lunch special for $10.95 that includes soup or salad, pasta of the day and a soda, guaranteed to be served within 30 minutes or the meal is free. I suggest that the next opportunity you have to take fellow classmates, that special person that you keep winking at during class, or maybe even the professor who is flunking you to Grappa for some lunch or maybe after school to check out their Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. everyday.

V OL. X V I N O. 2 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2006 Highest enrollment in school history School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams UVA: Freshmen lose personal space BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer New students at CSU San Marcos will find it harder to feel alone this Fall semester—enrollment at the university has increased by almost seventeen percent from last fall's total enrollment. CSU San Marcos has grown considerably in large part due to the state government allowing the school to increase its total student population at a greater rate than in previous years. With a net gain of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is up to 6,968 students, over 1,300 of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total enrollment on campus is 8,461, as compared to last years total of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus enrollment records which had peaked in 2003 when enrollment jumped to 7,708 students. This record breaking growth is not unique however, as San Diego State University has also broken enrollment records with its incoming class this year. While the officialfiguresfor enrollment at all California State University schools are not available until September 22nd, this growth could likely make the student population at CSU 'San Marcos larger than several other California State campuses. Last year, CSU San Marcos was the 19th largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Channel Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year CSU San Marcos will become the 16th largest California State University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU Bakersfield. The increase in enrollment has had other effects on the school as well. Parking has been increased to accommodate the incoming class, including the opening of Lot F, and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus housing has also beaten previous records, with 575 total residents ENROLLMENT, SEE page 2 Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride UVA residents Sean Richards and Andrew Weltzein move into their room to find their space originally occupied by one person will now have to fit the both of them.

In order for UVA to build more apartments elsewhere on campus, they need tofirstprove to the State of California that they have the demand to do so. The challenge: accommodating one hundred more students a space provided originally intended for less. One particular aspect about the UVA which proved to be a rarity among other university dorms was the gift of choice. In the past, students could choose to live in a private room with three other roommates. Students could also choose to share a larger room with one roommate. Either way, four students were assigned to one apartment. Alas, this is where the freshmen come in. Every freshman living iri a private room setup in buildings B and C are affected by the change. In each private room setup, there are now six people living in it instead of four. In two out of the four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are now two freshman instead of one; along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds. The Pride interviewed several different residents living in UVA.

CSUSM came out running halfway through the contest and produced a recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent from the 2005 competition. CSUSM actually produces an even higher rate but the contest limits the materials used in the calculation. CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students but to two groups known as the Blue Team and the Green Team. The Green Team is a group of students and faculty at CSUSM who are always thinking of new ways to reduce waste on the campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus. These two groups combined have greatly contributed to the two victories. The "Pin Man" trophy from the 2005 victory by CSUSM was handed over to Point Loma based on their 2006 victory in the Waste Minimization category. Point Loma was able to reduce the amount of trash for each student to just 35 pounds per person. Yes, even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania competitions. CSUSM is synonymous with recycling. Steven Brankov who is a student at CSUSM said, "San Marcos is always clean, you don't see trash in the bushes, you see cleanliness." Another student at CSUSM Jenny Bigpond commented, "Those bins are everywhere, it's almost impossible not to recycle." Not only will students walk away from CSUSM with a degrees, and muscular calves, but they will also walk a\yay with recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes about recycling like this all over this campus there is no question that CSUSM will be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition which will be held January through April.

The growth raises concerns among some about resources and services being stretched even more than they have been previously. Some students express concerns about longer wait times at places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not these sorts of concerns will become serious issues for students during the semester though remains to be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500 of us. •. « ¿dressf t elephoae ^ ii&mber^ e -maH tag Meattilcatioii» t etters a nd . jfc^Wd'. tMto p d ri^ m il yisi . ptectrmic . , ibm t& tteMttMA^ C SU ft i t the policy of 13ie Prfde i*ot to priat m mymsm l etters.'

It is generally referred to as halftime in football and the seventh-inning stretch in baseball. But a mandated break in college? I can't say that I am a big fan of this "University Hour" that takes place from 11:50AM-12:50PM. This isn't pre-school where we needed "nap-time". Joshie is a big boy now and he can certainly manage his own time properly. Having no classes during that time killed my scheduling of classes for this semester. It made it impossible for me to schedule classes on just two days a week. My Monday's are going to be brutal now. My first class is from 8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute break, then a class from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After "nap-time", I have a class from 1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2 hour 40 minute break, and then my last class goes from 5:30PM to 8:15PM. As you can clearly see I have enough time off in between classes already. Since I live a half hour away, going home during those breaks generally is not a smart option since I would spend more time on the road than doing something there. The proponents of "nap-time" believe that this will influence more students to get involved in the university. Anyone who didn't want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a free hour to get involved now; It will be spent grabbing something to eat, talking on a cell phone or just hanging out. I don't want to hear the excuse that "students don't have enough time in the day to get involved in the university or to study." I somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the school, and still manage to have a little fun. Go to any professor in the Communication department and ask how involved I am. I also don't want to hear the excuse that other universities and community colleges have similar programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to the temple from Michelle Kwan. Some things just don't belong in certain places. This university is a commuter campus where many students have full-time jobs and are a bit older than the average college student. We should not be trying to make this place into something it's not. If more student involvement is wanted then there is one thing that needs to be done. More on-campus Photo by David Gatley / The Pride housing needs to be developed, because the majority of people who live on campus are involved in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis.

Boddington's pub ale works perfectly; it is both refreshing and at the same time filling and just looking at it while it's being poured may bring a smile to your face. Widely available both on tap at most pubs or in four packs at most stores, Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the last 200 years and is now distributed by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume alcohol content, it is not excessively strong. And while it is not the best beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's has a decent and smooth taste of slight hops with a hint of sweetness. The aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms, and like most British beers it is best served cool, not cold. While most connoisseurs would scoff at drinking a canned beer, Boddington's is in some ways more f un to drink in canned form than as a draft. The bright taxicab yellow and black pint cans come four to a pack and generally cost between six and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic balls with tiny holes in them that are inserted into the can before it is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then inserted into the can which expands after the can is sealed, which forces "irJjlj beer and gas into the widget. Once the can is opened and exposed to the outside world, the pressure in the can drops causing the beer and gas inside the widget to shoot out of the widget's tiny hole. The mixing action of the pressurized beer releases the dissolved nitrogen in the beer and creates a creamy head as you pour it. The process is both fascinating and f un, and sometimes if opened improperly, results in an explosive, foamy release of beer—which just adds to Boddington's charm. With a bright golden color, and a thick creamy head, Boddington's looks cheerful and inviting. With its smooth taste and mild after taste it works well on its own, so it is perfect for an afternoon of watching football or an after studying round at the pub.

BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer After several months of work, Parking and Transportation Services has made significant changes to parking conditions on campus the most prominent of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over 1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM. According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, other additions include upgraded parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and "C", an extension of Campus View Drive providing access to parking lots "F" and "H". 3 m Access to parking lot "H" will be redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/ staff and disabled only parking lot. To help fund these changes, parking fees for the fall semester have been increased to $248.00 and $315.00 for UVA students, with another increase is planned to be implemented later. Lot "F" will have the following features, added carpool spaces, 95 motorcycle spaces, drive up and walk up permit machines with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new entrance to parking lot "H".

U I ^ V / V / L V L J Ü JJRI^LV BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Alumn Photo by David Gatley/The Pride Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class. Saving money while going to college can be a difficult task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars during your years at college is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it is but if you can handle it, there are a number of simple ways to not buy your textbooks and still pass your classes. First off, don't buy your books ahead of time. A lot of students stress about buying their textbooks, and making sure they do the readings. Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of the semester. It's like getting nervous before a test; you aire only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your textbooks before a class starts, wait until you're actually in the class for a few days to see if the teacher is really going to use the books. Teachers are required to assign textbooks for their classes, even if they are not going to use them. Plus, p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006? many assigned textbooks are often only recommended and not required by teachers. More often than not if you simply attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass without a problem and without the need of the textbooks. Of course, this doesn't work for all classes, and if you really need to have or use a textbook for one of your classes there are cheaper ways to access them than visiting the campus bookstore. For example, try borrowing the required reading from someone else in the class. Many teachers often only use the textbooks as a way to supplement material learned in class, thus you may only need the text once or twice during a semester. Classmates are usually more than willing to loan you a book, especially if it's only for a day or two. Another good method of gaining access to textbook information, if needed, is through the Internet. For example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you can actually access many BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Alumn Jennifer Wlams 1 Senior Literature & Writing I jumped into the work force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for nearly twelve years. This time included eight years of military service, in which I signed up for the G.I. Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year of my military service, working slowly, but methodically, toward my degree. Changing my degree a couple times, I seemed to start over every time. When I left the military, I had a goal in mind: college. Well, one thing led to another, and I got sidetracked. I went back to work fulltime again, chipping away at classes at night. I decided two years ago to devote my entire time to finishing my degree. I began my sabbatical from work in order to finish, finally after several years, my bachelor's degree. My company seemed happy enough to let me take the time and return when I was finished, but I had other plans. I walked in the graduation ceremony in May 2006, but had to return for classes in both sessions of the summer semester. So, two weeks ago, I actually finished my last class of my college career, I ,_ I J < K a Lots of Business!* g l l f e Tim Sabatini Campus Coffee . arti C• "My c lasses. f h||%!J>ey a re a sinterestingas ffitywere fÉfjl 18É111II181ÌIB1 B W t e stilli h FirstY« books in their entirety online, including many books used for CSUSM classes, without paying a penny. If you need a textbook for more than a few days, try simply using the library. Even if the book is not shelved locally, the library wilt order just about any book you need, for free, through inter-library loan. If all else fails and you must buy a textbook, visit websites like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year, keeping prices high. Yet, often the information contained in a new textbook edition is the same as in the older editions. Thus, if you need a 7th edition of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that same book for literally $10 online. It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't let them break your wallet; there are plenty of ways around buying and paying lots of money for your textbooks.

So what is life like after college? Well, it seems that it is exactly the same as when I entered. Thefirstthing I committed to was a vacation. I took my wife to Las Vegas to make up all of the time I spent at school studying and working. It was nice to spend my first weekend in years not worrying about my homework. I returned to my job, because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time for any interviews during summer session, and found it was waiting for me. In fact, it was like returning home after several ears tofindyour room the same, but covered in dust. The company did not replace me, though, I wish they had. I spent all this time to return to the same job, I can't wait until my résumé catches they èye of a great company with large salaries and even better benefits. So, I worked on my résumé, spending a full week tweaking small elements on the résumé. I found out that it takes as much time as a full time job, to find a full time job. I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I will return to school. I'm currently looking at law school for my return in education. y �Jock Talk With Josh: What is and what w ill be BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist Cassidy missed me twice, which could explain why he was sent down to the minor leagues. Jake Peavy showed him how it is done and hit me with a strike. I went to the Del Mar Racetrack a few times. I got to see 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo. He won and, of course, I tried to be a smart guy and bet against him. Now let's see if I remember I recently spent some time at how to do this. First off, I am glad the San Diego Chargers training to be back for my fifth semester camp. It was interesting to see writing this column.

It created opportunity for him at Cal Berke- ley, where he is now. Anyways, a short explanation for the new students about what this column is all about. It's supposed to be a sports column, but as many old readers know, I tend to speak on social issues and tend to anger more than my fair share of people. So as per the usual, my email address, sando026@csusm. edu will accompany each of my columns so that I can continue to get threats of a beat down. This year should be an interesting one, sports wise. We now have baseball, Softball and men's and women's soccer. I know I have been saying this for some time now, but expect more sports stories.

The change in weather inevitably leads to a change in beers—the sweeter and lighter colored beers and ales of summer give way to richer and more f ull bodied beers of fall. One beer that is perfect for the colder evenings of the beginning of fall is Birra Moretti. While pouring it, you will first smell the strong malt flavor and hear the slight hiss of carbonation. The beer is a rich straw color, and is best served between 41-45 degrees. The bottle is dark brown with a picture of a mustached man, holding a large beer stein. The man on the label's eyes are downcast, he looks tired andpresumably somewhat inebriated. This picture accurately describes the experience of drinking Birra Moretti—a quiet and calming experience. Much like the fall semester, the beer is heavy but not overbearing, bitter but smooth mmm • • • M enough to drink leisurely. This is not a beer for a night out on the town; rather it is best for quiet evenings after a hard day's work or study. First produced in 1859 in the city of Udine, in the Friuli region of Italy, Birra Moretti is a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a smell and taste reminiscent of some Austrian beers. The beer is now brewed and bottled by Heineken Italia in Comun Nuovo, Italy and imported by Star Brand Imports. While it is not widely available, Birra Moretti is mostly found at specialty beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands alone well, the beer is best served with the warm and hearty pasta dishes of its home country Italy. While not for those with delicate palates, Birra Moretti can provide warmth during the chill evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in school and at the same time help you through i t Photo by David Baiter/The Pride W WWSMBI» BY Wtéñ NAME P ride S taff W riter Want to make a difference on campus?

However, "Lady In the Water" did not follow suit. Much like most of his films, "Lady in the Water" was marketed as a suspenseful thriller and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the thriller mark but cover the gap with depth of story and wonderful visuals within the film; making the films enjoyable on at least one level. "Lady in the Water" is about as deep as the children's pool, the visuals are mediocre at best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" into a 2 hour long movie and you can get a good idea of what to expect. Of course Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too little too late. In case you didn't see the movie already, don't even bother renting it.

"Superman Returns" sought he can play Clark, and someone out a younger actor to portray else can play the man of steel. Then there was Kate Bosworth, the triple identities of Clark Kent, Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she was suppose to be, because that of Krypton). In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his home world, Krypton. He returns with little or no explanation of his journey or what he found. This would have been more interesting than spending hours pining after Louis. When he returns, he finds that life goes on without him, and this upsets him. Louis has a boyfriend and a son. The world didn't blow up, and crime didn't sky rocket out of control. So, our superhero uses his > superpowers to hover outside of the home of Louis Lane and spies on her with his super peepers and her triple personality superhero. I can only suggest replacing her altogether for the now dubious sequel. My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted evil well. I only wish they gave him some new plan do plot rather than land deals, just as in the first Superman. Overall, the movie had some really good action, but most of that was in the trailers. The love story between Louis and Clark seemed to dominate the entire movie. It's really upsetting that I enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more than "Superman Returns". Bryan Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.

XV NO. 15 BY RACHELL REYES & CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writers Five freshmen students coordinated a community-wide rally on campus in protest of the antiimmigration bill HR 4437, on Monday, May 1. The rally, in conjunction with the national Great American Boycott, served to give students the opportunity to have their voices héard about social policies and issues regarding immigration. "We just talked about it, and never did anything about it," said Herminia Ramirez, lead organizer, about her f rustrations with socially conscientious courses. "Our problem was that we needed to take action." Ramirez, with the support of four fellow WMST 101 students, Marisol Marquina, Kathie Alvizo, Karen Leon, and Carmen Contreras, organized the rally attracting over 300 participants and 11 guest speakers. "I am very humbled to be a part of this movement," said Josh Harris, guest speaker and ^ S P S M «t»ff rm*TnH*r "T thinV i t's important to recognize all those who won't be here today." Harris expressed how many immigrants, legal and illegal, aren't often visible in our society. "The public doesn't see them. Today, part of getting our word out is making them visible. We will not be invisible anymore." Lori Walkington, a Women's Studies major and volunteer at the rally, was disappointed with the lack of diversity in student involvement.

Each new project is designed to better serve the campus community as well as increase the department's visibility and connections with students and faculty. The campus will be stocking a new property-marking product, Data Dots, for sale this Fall. Data Dots is a kit containing microscopic dots that can be painted onto mp3 players, cellular phones, laptops, books, and other valuables for identification purposes. In the event that these items are stolen, they can be tracked by University Police and San Diego County S heriffs departments. The Data individuals in the community who Dots kit comes with adhesive and hold restraining orders. a serial number for the user that is "The program is meant to attached to each of the kit's 500 allow us to make early intervendots.

Each officer Police department to connect with will be assigned a campus build- ing during the semester and will be responsible for developing plans for emergency responses, dealing with potential hazards, and disability safety for the structure. The program was inspired by the department's need for making themselves more visible on campus, not only to students but to the faculty as well. Along with familiarizing themselves with the building's structure, officers will also be in charge of connecting with faculty and staff working in the building. Lastly, campus police will be developing an acquaintance rape program to be implemented this fall. The program is still in the works, but Lt. Miller describes this new service as a strategy for rape prevention. "The best time to set up inter- vention to prevent acquaintance rape is in the fall with incoming freshmen and sophomores during the first two weeks of the fall semester," said Miller. Campus police will be making door-to-door visits at University Village to educate tenants on the facts of acquaintance rape. Male tenants will receive information about the facts of consent whereas female tenants will receive information about how to avoid becoming victims of rape. The program targets mainly UVA tenants, but information on rape prevention is available to all students. The University Police Department hopes to extend its services to all incoming and existing students at the start of the academic year to reinforce its presence on campus.

It is a model for others; it signifies the belief in not only today, but in the future of this institution." One of the elements each successful campus needs is community partnership, said Murray Galinson, chairman of the CSU Board of Trustees. "It takes community leaders to embrace the campus and help it reach its goals." "We appreciate what a university does for its students and surrounding communities," said Donor Ken Markstein. "Since it's becoming impossible for the state to finance the complete needs of its universities, it's imperative for the community to be involved not only in moral support, but in financial support as well." National and local government entities presented the Markstein Family and the campus with honorary recognition plaques and proclamations. Awards were presented on behalf of Congressman Darrell Issa, Cruz Bustamante, Senator Bill Morrow and the California Legislator, State Assemblyman Mark Wyland, the San Diego County Supervisor's Office, the City of Oceanside, the City of Escondido, the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos, the City of Vista, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

(ASI) President Elect Roy Lee for 2006/2007 offered his first open speech at The Crash Awards Ceremony, on Wednesday, April 26. Lee's speech came under fire from one of the editors at the Pride Newspaper based on the fact she found it unprofessional. According to the opinion article, the writer felt that Lee was not as polished or as professional as the current ASI president, Marc DeGuzman. "There are all kinds of leadership styles, you cannot compare me and Marc DeGuzman," said Lee in response to the article. "Neither one of us is better than the other, just different." "Leadership is a case sensitive and is based on the individual." Though he did read the article prior to going to print, Lee was informed of the opinion piece and was given a chance to respond. "I could have been more polished that evening, but I chose not. I wanted to present myself to my peers," commented Lee about the speech overall. Lee wanted to convey that he respects anyone's opinion on his leadership style and would be willing to discuss it with anyone. "There is more to school than classes, there is campus life and it plays a significant role," said From RALLY page 1 F AMILY D ENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

"Overall it will benefit students," said Lee. ety, and the events of May 1,2006, are simply another stage in this long historical process." Dr. Jorge Riquelme, professor of Liberal Studies, was among the speakers at the rally. Riquelme discussed how the United States is demonstrating conflicting messages regarding immigration. One such conflict centers on the Mexican flag debate, arguing between images of Mexican-nationalism versus patriotism to America. "I do not perceive the flags from different countries as an insult to America," said Riquelme. Flags are not symbols of allegiance, Riquelme went on to say, they are symbols of our heritage and culture. The rally served as a plat- form, and as a reminder, to urge students to vote in the November primary elections. In November, voters will have the opportunity to elect, or reelect, members of the Congress, the political entity responsible for passing legislative bills, such as HR 4437. "When you vote, that is when you show your true colors," said Riquelme. "For the next election in November, remember who voted yay and who voted nay for HR4437." "I think they did a fabulous job," said Professor Linda Pershing. "These young women have never done a rally before, and I applaud their efforts to voice their concerns about an issue that personally affects them."

With graduation around the corner, many graduates are excited, but may be f earful of what to expect after the completion of undergrad school. Literature & Writing Studies professor, Dr. Moukhalis, shared his experience as a graduate as well as words of encouragement for the class o f2006. Moukhalis was a first generation college student, like many who will be graduating this semester. "My father never had a chance to go to school. Living under French colonial rule, it was very difficult for him or his single mom to afford the expenses of school. At a very early age he had to support his mother. My mother had an elementary education, but never made it to college. So, I am first-generation college student." Dr. Moukhalis attended and graduated from Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, with a degree in "English Language and Literature". Having studied in Morocco, Moukhalis's experience was different than that of an undergraduate here. "In terms of opportunities, college education in Morocco is subsidized by the government and is free. In some schools it is an open admission policy. Once students graduate from high school, their choice of college is limited to their major. The programs are very carefully designed to ensure a much focused education and at the same time to introduce students to a global perspective. I remember in high school, for example, I had to learn about the literature, history, geography, and economy of so many countries, including, for example, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and the United States," shared Moukhalis. What is common is the challenge "It was very challenging but I enjoyed it so much." There was no formal commencement ceremony, however, he did have "the privilege of receiving an invitation to the King's palace," but like many students who won't attend their commencement, he never made it. The class of 2006 is said to have a good job market available to them. Many students will have to end their college careers (or put them on hold) to enter the job market. Numerous others will continue on to graduate school. Advice from others may be helpful, but follow your own instinct. Contrary to the current job market for graduates, when Moukhalis was graduating, "the job market was really tight and there were few opportunities for graduates," so, "against the advice of all to get a job," he opted for graduate school to further pursue his dreams of being a college professor. Some students will not get accepted to their first choice graduate school, but Moukhalis did, eventually earning a masters degree, " from Keele University in England." He later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Sate University of New York at Stony Brook; "I'm glad I followed my own instinct then." Along with hard work, Moukhalis attributes his success to his father, "My dad actually is my role model. Even though he never had any formal education; he had to struggle all his life to spare us that hardship. I always heeded his advice about the importance of getting an education." To the graduating class of 2006, fear not, because from Moukhalis's perspective, "I would like to remind students that graduation is not the end; it is the beginning of hopefully a life f ull of more challenges, hard work, and most importantly more achievements."

Not all legislation is covered in this timeline on U.S. immigration policy: 1882—The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese laborers from entering for 10 years. 1891—The Immigration Act of 1891 was the first comprehensive law for national control of immigration. Established the Bureau of Immigration within the Treasury Department, it restricted immigration by certain classes of persons, and directed the deportation of anyone entering the U.S. illegally. 1924—The Immigration Act of 1924 was the first permanent limitation on immigration which established the "national origins quota system" which set annual immigration quotas at 2 percent of the number of persons of a given nationality to reside in the U.S. This act, along with the Immigration Act of 1917, governed American immigration policy until 1952. It established a preference quota for those unmarried children under 21;parents; spouse of U.S. citizens; and those immigrants aged 21 and older who were skilled in agriculture, along with their wives and dependent children. 1940—The Alien Registration Act required registration of all aliens. 1942—Executive Order 9066—Evacuation and Internment of Japanese and JapaneseAmerican citizens from the West Coast. 1942—The United States and Mexico signed the Mexican Farm Labor Program Agreement, which set up the Bracero system that legally brought 4.6 million Mexican migrant workers to the U.S. over the next 24 years. 1952—The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 became the comprehensive law governing immigration and nationalization. It gave preference to skilled workers, those who had relatives that were U.S. citizens and legal aliens. 1965—-The Amendment to the Act of 1952 abolished the national origins quota system, visas were given on first come, first served basis, and gave preference to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens and those with special skills. 1986—The Immigration Reform and Control Act autho- rized temporary and then permanent resident status for aliens residing in the U.S. illegally since 1982 and created sanctions for employers who knowingly hire aliens not authorized to work in the U.S. 1990—The Immigration Act of 1990 increased the total immigration amount. Refugees were excluded from limitations. 1996—The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 increased criminal penalties for immigration-related offenses. The majority of the legislation during the 1900's was intended to restrict the immigration of those from European countries. For example, based on nationality, the quota system would allow more Germans to immigrate in comparison to Italians. Fast forward to 2006. HR4437 is a proposed as Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Immigrants' rights groups are calling for a nationwide boycott of school, work and to not spend money in opposition to this bill. Several students here at Cal State San Marcos were asked to share their thoughts on the boycott and the bill and immigration all together. The answers immerged as varied here as they areacross the country. For some students the issue is that all Hispanics/Latinos need to ban together and support the immigrants. Some students believe the boycott is a complete waste of time, while others fear a backlash against all Hispanics. There are some students that believe that these boycotts and protests merely make the Hispanic and Mexican communities look like victims. "If an illegal wants citizenship, they should have to go about it just like everyone else in this world . .. stop making Mexicans look like they are victims; the problem is with illegals, not Mexicans," voiced student Daniel Perez. Student Maribel Baltadano supports the boycott "It is the way many civil rights movements began their fight against racial discrimination." Amy Chacon points out that those protesting are not just Hispanic or Mexican. "People are uniting all over the U.S to protest . .. Not just Mexicanos but people of all descent are supporting this cause." Others believe it is not about race, but about breaking the law and not following the proper procedures. Student Jose Cruz believes the issue is legitimate but that "it's the wrong way to send a message. If you want to send a message, do exactly that, send a message, talk, protest, be vocal, write to newspapers, etc. People will listen. People will not listen if you throw a tantrum and stay at home by skipping school." Some students also believe that identifying this as primarily "Hispanic or Chicano" related may alienate other immigrants and possible supporters of this cause. "I think, we ALL want to achieve the same goals with the Boycott, but we have to somehow agree on how to relate the message to all people in a way that includes and invites support and does not exclude or invites identities," said Juana Molina. Conversely, Student Anthony Hutchinson was quoted asking "Why stop with one day??? Why not make this a 'permanent' boycott, vatos? Really make it worth while, and just don't ever come back." No matter the perspective, students are encouraged to educate themselves so that they may speak intelligently on the topic, and to take the necessary and proactive steps to make their position known.

That was the only issue that I had with him and I tease him about it whenever I get the chance. He always backed my words, which is exactly what an editor should do. During Patrick's term it seemed as though everything he accomplished came with a struggle. A struggle to find someone to write a story, a struggle with personalities that didn't want to learn proper AP style and even a struggle to find a new editor-inchief for next school year. Somehow he always found a way to get things done. Before I discuss the future, I have a couple more good-byes to some more graduates. Antoinette Johnson was one of the best staff writers that the newspaper has seen. Her stories graced the front page on nearly every issue. She also had my back around campus when I was being accused of sexism. Christine Vaughan was a great News Editor and College Life: What the U.S. Marines did not prepare me for BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer thought k ^ in the park, I was so very wrong. At the time I started my college career I had already been on active duty for 6 and a half years in the Marine Corps. So I figured four years of college should be a breeze. However I forgot one thing; how to handle adjusting from the structured and disciplined life of the military to a very unstructured, undisciplined civilian life. Military life is not as bad as it sounds. Aside from bootcamp (which the Marines have the hardest—we are proud to brag about that) life in the Corps, for some, tends to settle into a routine that gets comfortable after awhile. I was in that comfortable routine when I applied for and got accepted to the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program— MECEP. This program allowed me to stay on active duty, receive full pay and benefits and attend CSUSM as a full time student. Sounds too good to be true I know, but that's where the greatness ends. When I started classes here back in 2002 I was dealt a tremendous culture shock. I joined the Marine Corps when I was barely nineteen years old, so I did my growing up in the military unlike my fellow classmates. This is where I had the most difficulty adjusting—interacting with other students who the majority were younger than myself and tended to be immature in my eyes. My biggest and most difficult lesson to learn here was to relax. Easier said than done. Anytime a student whined or complained to the professor about anything, whether the syllabus or an assignment, I would sit in my chair and fume. Anytime a professor lost control of a class or seemed to have no clear direction, or if students would have conversation and not pay attention, I would sit there and force myself not to jump up and start barking orders to everyone. Now not every student or professor was like this. In fact, I am positive that it was only a select few that have stood out in my memory. Of course take into consideration that I have a Type A personality combined with being a control freak and anal retentive, I'm sure those factored into how I viewed events at the time, making them totally exaggerated. The Marines never taught me how to deal with this. Sure we learned about being respectful and tactful when dealing with each other—but it's easier when everyone has the same expectations of how things are supposed to be. I didn't have to worry about hurting people's feelings because I would tell them to be quiet during a class or meeting, but in college that is just not happening. Add to that having to drive to San Diego at least two times a week for "military training", along with being a parent and a spouse and college has definitely taught me a thing or two about multi-tasking. Try getting up at 3:30 in the morning to be in San Diego by 5:30 a.m. for military classes and training, then driving the 45 minutes or so back to Oceanside to pick up kids from school, then make dinner for the family, help with homework, try and squeeze in my homework, then drive another 45 minutes to get to San Marcos (yeah, 45 mins. From Oceanside, traffic nightmare) to sit in class from 5 p.m. until 8:30, then try and be home by 9 p.m. to see husband for 15 minutes, then end up falling asleep on the couch. I don't care how much training you have, that schedule never gets easy. I can't wait to get back to regular old military life! All complaining and venting aside, I wouldn't change my experience because without it I wouldn't have met some truly interesting and special people. I've learned to relax—a little bit, and I've learned that all of us can learn something from others even if we don't see it at first. Congratulations to those who are graduating in a few weeks, I'll see you at graduation. And for those that are not: ha ha ha ha, you still have to go to school! she seemed to be in the office no matter what time I walked in. I thank both of them for being great contributors to this paper. Last week I met the new editorin-chief, David Gatley. I look forward to working with him because he seems like a good guy and he already has many new things that he wants to do with the paper. It also seems like he is set for the challenges that he will face. He is actually going to have to find writers, rather than having a class provide them for him. Because of that, I am assuming that the paper will be small to start off, but will grow in time. As for the sports section, I really see it changing. The new Soccer, Softball and Baseball programs will make it so that actual stories are written about campus athletics. Nothing against golf, cross country and track and field because I do know many of the athletes on the teams and they are great people, but those aren't spectator sports and there hasn't been much to write about. Along with the sports section, I hope to have the student radio station up and running. Dr. Anthony Hurst and I will be doing some work this summer to make that happen. I want to send a special thanks to Laura Wilson, Chris Hecklinger, Michelle Jules and Matt Mull for working with me on the project in Dr. Katherine Brown's COMM 355 class. We created the CSUSM Radio Club, which will be available for students to join in the Fall. We are going to start with pod-casting, and hopefully in the not too distant future we will be doing web-casting. Next year should be my last one on campus and I can't wait to continue this column in the fall for what will be my fifth semester involved with the paper. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Spring is here. Our common colds and minimal rains are neither withstanding, nor less arbitrary, than the calendar marking the seasonal transition. In this desert, this artificial oasis, so many of us live without an appreciation for the true cold of winter, thus without an appreciation for Spring's return. What all of us do have is the oldest and most enduring icon of the selfsame cure and virus for Spring Fever. We, as college students, are surrounded by fresh and freshlyarrived beautiful women. So, women of CSUSM, let me speak to you: Envy, like stratification, is natural. Luckily, so is Beauty, and like Nature it requires only health: nutritious food, physical exertion and a joyful Will to be alive. Worthy partners do not require physical perfection any more than those who 'have it' know it, or keep it. Worthy partners will remember the parts of you they most favor, not the parts you cannot change. Worthy partners do not seek conquest over contact, that is for ill-adolescents, and they are only their parents' concern. Be alive and open to these worthy partners, for they are willing and eager to remind you how beautiful you are. I am eager to remind you how beautiful you are. And I don't need a class on 'romantic' poetry, or a history of our malignant patriarchy, to do it . .. though the blessing of my own partner probably wouldn't hurt. Back to the theme, then. There are many empty but intoxicating fortunes to be made in making you obsessed with your allure and ashamed of your desires. There are many crippled spirits driven mad with the fear of you, determined to enslave your (and thus all) Lust through confusion, through dividing debate over an archaic procedure that, oh so curiously, has not yet been made obsolete. The fortune-seekers need you more than you need them; beauty can be supplemented, but never sold, thus all merchants serve Beauty, and you owe nothing to servants who forget their place. The crippled spirits need many things, but deserve nothing so much as the sight of you coming to love the sight of you as you have made yourself. For you ARE beautiful, and may you by your Will stay beautiful, as you would remain beautiful, even were you to die before knowing love. No beauty is so rare as the beauty fully realized, but no beauties are lost but those that are wasted, and none that recognize themselves are ever wasted. Do not give Lust, holy Desire, the blood of your beauty, to that alluring confidence and affluence that you already possess. Do not hoard swords, less they make your cup an ever-empty sieve. Do not lord yourself above those that would raise you from irresistible to invaluable. They will love you, if you give them the chance, because you are beautiful, and you are beautiful because you Are. You are your experiences, your inspired explorations and your delicious tastes. You are, each and every one of you, beautiful, not by imitating representations, but by existing as whole, and real, and sovereign in yourself. You have, and must cultivate, a Name and a Consciousness that makes you 'an object' only so much as a living, bleeding deity is an object. Were all of civilization to rot down from its art, to its religion, to its magic, to the end of names and back into linguistic zero, there would still be enough left enough for them to lose themselves and gain eternity in the unassuming sway of your hips, the pronouncing contortions of your mouth, the softness of your warming touch. Your symmetries and tones are your own, and they are beautiful because the world is beautiful and the world is beautiful because it varies. Do not chase bleached hair and silicone breasts as an ideal any more than you'd chase a single dress or set of jewelry as the one and only ornament you'd need for the rest of your life. The worthy partner will reach out their hands to touch YOU, not your 'things'. Lust, as any essential element to life, can be poorly managed, but your beauty makes it too invaluable to be forever suppressed by winters, storms, ill-children or crippled spirits. Go now, and be adored. Make the eye contact then make it again; the smile, the first hello and casual question. The smallest, yet clearest invitation will turn shy awe into confident dedication. Their unbridled Lust will bind them to you for however so long as you would give them here, as you would have them there. You are beautiful, make the same of the Spring and its Fevers. - Zachary Simon CSUSM student's thoughts about 'breaking the silence' Today April 26th at noon, six members of the LGBTQ including myself stood and broke the silence. Silence we had been keeping in recognition for the voices that are hushed each day because they were not of the heterosexual orientation. Voices silenced from fear. Fear of retri- bution . . . fear for something outside of our control. . Being a 21 year old gay male I have grown up to except and love myself. I learned to love myself when our society told me I was wrong. I learned to love god when my church members condemned WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER?

I learned that what I am is not a mistake and that no one should grow thinking otherwise. People other than the hetero-normative frame are people just the same. Today we tried to get that back. Some of us placed tape on our mouths others wore white, and others simply did not speak. Fleers were passed out up until noon. TheseTflyers said, "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. People who are silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The day of silence is to draw attention to those who ARE YOU ïïimiiu IN WRITING FOR THE PRIDE NEXT Y EAR?

Think about the voices you are not hearing. What can you do to end the silence?" For us to live in a society that does not allow people of the same sex to marry and share love what morality are we spreading? That certain types of love weigh more then others? What does it say about our society that a person that is not heterosexual cannot live and die for this country? Is this a country that is so obvious that there is no separation between church and state? For people who do not follow the mold of heterosexuality why should they have to look around before they know it is safe to hold each other's hand? Why should any people be segregated into certain parts of the city for a somewhat sense of security. So we protested. In protest we silenced ourselves along with "An estimated 500,000 students at 4,000 schools nationwide" according to dayofsilence.org, but with one difference, at twelve we broke our silence. We broke the silence that our society is to use too. Names like Mathew Shepard and Brandon Teena maybe somewhat familiar of victims of hate crimes but there are many others that have gone without the representation of the media. Others that had to be recognized like Danny Overstreet, Billy Jack Gaither, Tyra Hunter for starters. These people were just that people and did not deserve the deaths they received. Today we broke the silence and for me personally I am tired of being quite I want to be heard and not ignored. I am gay I am real, see me, recognize me, and know that I am more then just my sexuality. As we prepared are mouths were taped and as we removed the bondage of this society we began to speak. We began to speak of events that outside of Mathew Sheppard many people are unaware of. According to gsanetwork.org "The project consists of a vow of silence for the entire school day, or however long your school wishes to have it, where participants pass out cards that state their reasons for not speaking (see below). At the end of the silence, participants can host a series of follow up events to educate their communities on how to keep the silence from continuing." -Andrew M. Ruisenor �letters to the Editor: I read Phil Hoffman's "Response to the Letter to the Editor" in last week's Pride. Phil had commented that forcing gay and transgender issues is actually "impeding on our rights." Phil, this is a false statement. He also argued that gay and transgender events are "completely anti-America[n]." Phil, this is also a false statement. I don't view ASI nor LBGTA's events (such as the fashion show, gay wedding, etc.) as impeding on our rights. You may not agree with their views, Phil, but asking them to stop such events is impeding on students' rights, and that would be truly anti-American. As a student I will also do my duty by asking ASI, LBGTA and other student organizations to continue such events. We need one another to open our minds. Isn't that what our university should ultimately promote? -Vicky Segall LTWR In last week's edition of the Pride, Karen Perez asked the question, "Did you know that this bill (House Resolution 4437) makes illegal people criminals?" I would like to respond to her question by saying, Karen, aren't immigration laws, laws that if violated make a person criminal? These protests planned for May 1st are not about immigrant's rights as Ms. Perez's letter suggests, it is about fighting for 11 million criminals to be granted amnesty from punishment for breaking the law, as well as for promoting the idea of continuing to turn a blind eye to the crimes that occur everyday when someone enters this country illegally. However in the end, I feel that the United States as a whole should walk hand in hand with those that are wishing to immigrate into the United States and say, "Si Se Puede legalmante." I do not speak for all of those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community. I am one gay person with my own story. Other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individualsLimvjsuiic^^ there are similarities among the stories, they are different. I have been criticized for being discriminatory toward Christians and Catholics by a fellow student in the campus paper. I have not denounced Catholicism, I am still Catholic. Nowhere in my fetter to the editor did I single out ALL Christians or Catholics. I do not discriminate against Christians or have any ill will towards them. I simply described my own personal experiences as they happened to me. • Some might ask, ' Then why focus so much of your conversation on Christians?" As I described in my first letter, my experience within the Christian community is where I was met with the most discrimination. I do not hate Christians for this, nor do I believe all Christians act the same way. Rather, my response is to educate people that Christianity does not mean anti-gay. Christianmeans,"Christ-like" Christ would not spew hate or discrimi- Phil: I read your letter in response to Cheyenne, regarding the importance of a gay wedding on campus. Yes, same-sex marriage is illegal in this country. Do you know what else used to be illegal, up until 1961? Interracial marriage! Check this out: In the case ofLoving vs. Virginia (1961), a black man and his white wife were prosecuted for their marriage, the judge defending the verdict by saying, "Almighty God created the races of White, Black, Yellow; Malay, and Red, and He placed them on separate continents „.And but for the interference with His arrange- ment there would be no cause for such marriages. Thefact that He separated the races shows that he did not intendfor the races to mix" Tell me Phil, do you agree with this statement? If interracial marriage were illegal today, would you oppose an "interracial wedding event"? The law is not always right, so sometimes you must stand up for what you believe is r ight This is what the LGBTA is doing. You don't have to agree with them. I also disagree with your statement saying that ASI and the LBGTA are "forcing these issues down our throats." I don't feel forced at all. Hey, ifyou don't want to attend a fashion show or a gay wedding, DON'T! The LGBTA hasn't hurt anybody, or violated anybody's rights, as you say. How dare you try to impede on the right of these people to defend themselves as human beings who deserve human rights? As for Anti-America, how do you define "American"? A white mommy and daddy, with 2.5 kids, living in the suburbs driving a Ford Explorer? Please. If you have some important issues to promote, I encourage you to do so, but please don't get in anybody else's way. Sincerely, Jennifer Ho An Unruly Faction The campus is abuzz with talk of the 1 May boycott, and the desired affect upon and against the US economy. I am not only disconcerted by the open discussion of the premeditated sabotage, I am thoroughly convinced that such behavior does not constitute the cut or character of one worthy to reside within the borders of this fine nation. Those who would undermine our systems of governmental and economic policy have no place or business amongst our elite countrymen. Such people do not deserve to partake with me, a citizen of this country. Such treacherous individuals should not be afforded the liberties for which so many men have died to protect. Let those that boycott receive the full recompense for their malefaction and disrespectful sedition perpetrating upon the country to which they would, not for the betterment of their state, but for opportunities which they would exploit. It would be better, were they to not only abide for the duration of the day in their homes, but that selfrepatriate (those that are illegal), saving the national treasury the cost. I am whole-heartedly behind any repercussive actions taken against those who participate, including their loss of employment, failing of classes, or any disciplinary action that against them may be taken. - Lee Mitchell I wanted to write and convey one student's perspective on the illegal immigration issue as to hopefully prompt further political discourse. During the past couple of weeks it has been remarkable to see my peers rallying around a political cause. The right to peaceably assemble is one of those rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution (to American citizens) that is rarely exercised by college students, so to hear about the event planned for May 1st regarding a political cause is extremely encouraging. However I am torn because while it is nice to see my peers standing up for a political cause, it is disheartening that it has to be regarding the issue of illegal immigration, because I am completely dumfounded as to how anyone could make an intelligent argument as to how violating the laws of this country is a noble cause that should be rewarded. I understand a lot of you are sitting there saying, well Bryan, because illegal immigrants do the jobs no one else will do, and to that I disagree because illegal immigrants that accept below minimum wage positions (that may be undesirable) are not taking a job that someone else would not do, they are merely undercutting the federal and state minimum wage laws and accepting positions for less pay than is mandated by law to American citizens. ble to try to either incarcerate or repatriate 12 million people.

Incoming ASI president, Roy Lee, delivered his first "formal" speech at the Crash Awards Night, commemorating and recognizing student leadership and involvement on campus, at the honorary ceremony on Wednesday, April 26. It is understood that when introducing a new Board of Directors for ASI, certain liberties are taken by the student population to scrutinize elected officials. One such liberty involves judging the competency of its representatives and, if need be, expose inadequacies. Having said that, it is my desire that you be sufficiently informed as to how our new "president" is representing the student voice of Cal State San Marcos. It is my opinion that, after reading the following speech, I doubt students will take much, if any, comfort in knowing that Roy Lee will be our representative. As president, Lee will be expected to deliver countless speeches to high-end executives, politicians, and community leaders. If Wednesday night's speech is any indicator as to his pptential as ASI President, I fear that the student body, not to mention Cal State San Marcos as a whole, will be viewed as a mockery to academia. The following is Roy Lee's speech in its entirety - verbatim. It has not been taken out of con- text in any way, nor has it been edited for grammatical errors. Let yourself be the judge: "First o f f , I would like to thank all of you who votedfor me, and for those that have not, um, no just joking. Now moving, so, I came here guys to Cal State San Marcos, you know, like all of you guys to get my higher education. But I came here really with a different mindset. Um, you see when I graduated high school I told myself 'all right buddy just chill. You know, you don't know, just don't get involved, k. Don't get involved, don't don't get yourself too crazy out there, you know. Forget clubs, forget sports, forget studying.' I mean, honestly, though, but. I told myself, you know, 4just take it easy, don't get involved, you don't know how hard college will be compared to high school.' I'm sure some of you can relate that, right, ok. So, four years pass by, five, whatever, and now I'm your guys ASI President. Good job... that's awesome, but I don't regret it you guys, don't regret it at all. Um, being in ASI has taught me so many things that a classroom could never teach me. Um, which is really good because seeing that I don't really pay attention in class all that often, it's a good thing that I've been out of the classroom structure, um, but being in ASI at San Marcos has been my continuing drive to get my degree.

I want to commend you all for making my experience at Cal State Marcos a memorable one. And I hope, that ASI will make it just as memorable for you guys as, you guys have done it for us. Thanks." While I have no personal vendetta towards Lee, I perceive his speech as a prime example of student apathy. Although uncontested in the elections, 388 students, out of 578, voted for Lee to represent them as the voice of Cal State San Marcos. Had more students engaged in running for the presidency, I believe a more competent-sounding candidate would be serving our campus. ASI would be wise to splurge a little of their $1.4 million dollar budget on protecting the integrity and image of the student voice. I urge students to demand higher standards of such representatives and, perhaps, advise Lee to consider hiring a speech consultant. - Christine Vaughan News Editor for The Pride F 1500+ spaces behind Lot E * PARKI NG FEE INCREASE STUDENT UVA CREDENTIAL Hpp'5 $248 $315 $ 124 DAILY PERMITS $7 Parking ajnd Transportation Services Sem. Sent. Sem. Month Day �16 A &E Tuesday, May 2,2006 THE PRIDE What is female beauty? BY ANDREW RUISENOR & ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writers What is female beauty? By society's standards, beauty might be considered as a white skinned, blonde-haired, blue eyed, smallwaisted (and by small this means a size 2) and somewhat petty bombshell. In reality, the woman we just described is a waif. She's frail, she's dependent, her body is unrealistic and unhealthy. In terms of her personality, she's as exciting as a dial-tone. With this standard set, where do the rest of us fall? Are we not to be considered beautiful? What about mahogany-skinned, dark-haired, brown-eyed, amplefigured, intellectual bombshells from the rural south, the inner city, the upper echelons, and the underclass? These women do exist, and many of them are reading this now. All women everywhere should realize how truly beautiful they are. The flesh of a person is sacred and individualized through past generations. According to the Dove Self Esteem Study "92 % of young women (ages 15-17) experience negative body image and want to change." This obsession with the flesh comes with a heavy toll. The difference between healthy and idealized is large. According to inch-aweigh.com the average American woman is 5'4" and 140 lbs. In tills same study the average American model is five 5'11 and 117 lbs. There is a large discrepancy between the average, and what the industry calls for. For all the women who do not fit into this category such as comedian Mo'Nique Imes, embracing your flesh is imperative. As Oil of Olay advertises "Love the skin you're in," it is beautiful. Intellectualism is also an asset that society tends to do away with in its regard for females. The thoughts of women should no longer be threatening, but accepted as beautiful. Women like Maya Angelou represent a beauty that transcends the flesh and its fleeting youth. Through her writing she breathes life into the minds and spirits of women around the world. The artist Alecia Moore, otherwise known as Pink, also presents positive messages through her lyrical works that are sending messages to women. These messages reinforce the idea that you do not have be another body, but a mind as well, capable of making decisions for yourself. Through the mind is also you, the reader, who might identify as a woman who has made the step forward in your education process challenging your system of beliefs and getting the grade on your own accord. Your mind is beautiful. Identity is beautiful. Many women, who fall outside of the narrow formula for beauty, are overcome with images of women who appear tcrbc like themselves living and reinforcing counterproductive models for what racial group x's women should be like. ative. This in turn creates a battle An unfortunate side effect of this between a woman's self and her is that women begin to translate identity as it is assigned to her by their self worth as not stretch- the media's outlook."

This is not to say that nostalgia helps us forget, and goodness knows it rarely helps us plan, but the Dresden Dolls do say, on the stickers that say nothing else as they wrinkle on the hands and ends of their dressed up fans: PUNK CABARET IS FREEDOM Looking at this bit of promotion at the Mira Mesa Epicenter's snack-bar/merch-table, I became torn between my disdain for most of the things associated with the term 'punk' and my disappointment that the slogan didn't give some direction to the ears of all the eyes it caught. Such a double negative should have made it easier to move on, but I ended up staring at it even longer each time the other members of my party sent me back for more souvenirs ... so that they wouldn't lose their place at the guard rail.

Social and world issues, as well as her personal relationships and experiences, inspire her music. For her "Pretty much anything can be inspirational." Jacey always ends a set with a song that means the most lyrically and musically to her, titled Trove Me Wrong.' "I Love that song. I want it to be my first hit single!" said Jacey. Her inspiration for the song was a crazy relationship she was but wasn't in. Jacey said, "When I wrote this song I was at my patience's end, hoping he would prove me wrong by all the wrong he had done to me. Turns out I was wrong, but got a bad ass song out of it!" Jacey is completely dedicated to her career of singing, songwriting, and improving her guitar skills.

A fter the wide-eyed revelers made their way home (most under the general consensus that they'd been given more blood through the performance than ever could be leached from an autograph mob) and before I had their new album in my hand, I could tell you with absolute certainty that The Dresden Dolls will blow your mind, kick your ass, and break your heart with hardly more than an electric piano and a drum kit between them. The new album builds on everything that was great about the first, with that musical and vocal passion carried by genuine lyrical wit through every chide and confession. Moving seamlessly from the unpredictable avant-garde to classic nursery rhyme and power-ballad standards, they stir every aloof and abandoned preconception. On the song, "Mrs. O," whose lyrics give us the new album's title "Yes, Virginia," we get a journey through the nature and implications of truth aMHbelief ... or another clever bit of word play. It's my personal favorite thus far, and the Dresden Dolls have renewed my faith in this new century's capacity. Naturally, this sets both fellow listeners and the band itself up for disappointment, which is all the more reason to give them a chance, or even a second one (it took a third for me) to show the world how worthwhile a genuinely unusual thing can be, and how much we both deserve a f uture that doesn't leave us running in place, or improving a memory.

In turn, the 1990s saw a rise in simulation, first-person, and multi-player network type game genres.

Add heaping spoonfuls of music. The decade was also a time for many contributions, turning points, and unfortunate losses in the area of music. Icons such as Pearl Jam, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, and Nirvana offered up something new for rock consumers to bang their heads to. Meanwhile, rap superstar acts like Tupac Shakur, Naughty By Nature, Salt N ' Pepa, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G were theflamesof rap's persistent wildfire. Music moved in waves over the course of the decade. It started with a grunge feel of Sound Garden and somewhere along the way stopped off at an alternative sound reflected through bands like Garbage and Hole. Music 3. Overdose on popular television shows Television of the 1990s catered to audiences of all ages in new ways than previously done. Aside from the primetime television mixture of Seinfeld, The XFiles, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends, and Ally McBeal, the airwaves also housed programming of the more cynical nature to satisfy the tastes of a more adult crowd—in cartoon forms. Shows such as the Simpsons, The Critic, and South Park embraced the political contexts and satirical j nature that adult audiences everywhere were starving w for. As a fortunate byproduct to cartoons laced with adult humor was the ever-popular trend of Anime. It was during the 1990s that the like-ability f \ of shows like Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, and the Dragonball series resonated with audiences. While adults were taking in Family Guy, younger | | ¡ ¡ audiences were viewing shows like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rugrats, and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. 4.

BY RACHELL REYES Pride Staff Writer In a national effort to oppose the proposed law HR-4437, people of every race and ethnicity will boycott the policy on May 1. Known as The Great American Boycott, May 1 will also be marked as "the day without an immigrant." The pending legislation of HR-4437, also known as the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act o f2005, will seek to improve homeland security. One of the major points of the proposal is that an illegal immigrant would be classified as a felon. Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride The U.S. will no longer give asylum to illegal immigrants, as well. Another highlight of HR-4437 is the proposed construction of a 700 mile fence along the U.S./Mexico border. The May 1 nationwide movement calls for a boycott of the economy: No work, no school, and no buy. Some Cal State San Marcos students are preparing to participate and show their support in different ways on May L Jose Cruz, an immigrant from Mexico, received an e-mail promoting him to boycott his classes on May 1. "I don't support the boycott of classes, but I do support the immigrant cause," said Cruz, a graduating senior of Literature and Writing Studies. "Everyone who goes to work everyday is a vital part of the economy." Jenny Aaron, a graduating senior in Liberal Studies, plans to attend all of her class that day, despite the boycott. However, she will show her support by boycotting businesses. "It's a doubleedged sword for undocumented workers, because they have to earn a paycheck and yet would want to support the immigration movement," explained Aaron. Many students will also be showing their support against HR-4437 by rallying on Thursday, April 27, at the Library Plaza, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. WALKOUT, SEE page 2 Be Black. Be Proud. African American graduates to receive honorary recognition BY J ENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer The African American Recognition Planning Committee will be hosting its 10th Annual African American Recognition Ceremony for the black seniors that will be graduating. The ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 4, at 5 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House at Cal State San Marcos. "This is not a graduation ceremony, but rather a recognition ceremony," saidOneita Billings, chair of the African American Faculty &Staff Association. "It is about a celebration of culture. People should view the recognition ceremony as a facet of integrated education and celebrate it as progress in our nation and progress for ALL OF US as people," said graduating senior, Antoinette Johnson. "It's nice to be recognized, there are programs out there and people out there for the black students," said graduating . senior, Katrena Robinson. "Every ethnic group congratulates its members, everyone deserves to be recognized," said Lorenzo Grey, fellow graduating senior.

Wednesday, April 26, marks the tenth annual Day of Silence, where thousands of students nationwide will choose not to speak for an entire day in order to make a statement in support of the gay and lesbian community. The Day of Silence is a student led day of action where supporters, who believe anti-LGBT bullying and harassment should be unacceptable in schools, participate in events to recognize and protest the dis- BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer crimination and harassment, and in effect, the silencing experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and their allies. The Day of Silence started in 1996 at the University of Virginia, with over 150 students participating in the demonstration. In 2001, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network became the official sponsor with new funding, staff and volunteers. Last year's event had more than 450,000 students participating from nearly 4,000 schools, colleges and universities.

"We as students want to voice our opinions and concerns," said Herminia Ramirez, a student activist and organizer of the rally. "We are not planning to walk out of classes or work obligations. Our goal is to provoke thought and to educate other students about HR-4437." Although other students like Cruz do not condone boycotting classes, there will be students who will not attend their classes to show support. Maria Sanchez, also an immigrant f rom Mexico, will be one of those students who will be absent on May 1. "I know the struggles that [immigrants] face and part of my participation is the understanding that I was once in that same situation," said Sanchez, a graduating History major. Lorrin Hernandez, a junior of Literature and Writing, is fully aware of both sides of the issue. Her husband is a Mexican immigrant and he supports the movement. Her family, on the other hand, is in opposition of the movement. Although she is on the fence with the issue, Hernandez is optimistic about May L "I think it's a good way for stu- LGBTA anticipates at least 50-100 students to take part in this full day of devotion to silence. Participants are asked to wear all white on Wednesday, April 26, for The Day of Silence. Anyone interested in participating is asked to meet in front of the Kellogg Library at 12:00 noon, and asked to remain silent to respect those who have been forcibly silenced or choose to remain silent due to intimidation and fear. Silence Cards will be given out to anyone with questions about the event. A sample Silence Card may read something like: "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?"

"You can't alienate people who have been here and have helped the country come together. It's not fair to say 'you don't belong here,' when [immigrants] contribute to society and every day life." May 1 is not just an effort to oppose HR 4437, but also a way for immigrants to take action. Although there are concerns about attendance, there is little question that May 1 will impact the campus. "I hope [the boycott] will inform students about the importance of this situation," said Ramirez. "People's f utures are at stake and we need to be active by voicing our concerns about this legislation." While there is a national concern for the consequences of May 1, students on the campus are more concerned with awareness.

The RIAA's announcement comes on the heels of a continuing onslaught of lawsuits against music downloaders nation-wide. Although having fallen out of headline news coverage, the R IAA has issued nearly 20,000 lawsuits since September 2003, with many of the most recent suits being brought against college students. At CSUSM, no students have been cited by the R IAA in over a year, and before that "just a couple" of students had run- ins with the RIAA, said Wayne Veres, dean of the Instructional and Information Technology Services. In both incidents, letters of cease and desist were sent to the offending students, and the issue was quickly resolved. At colleges across the* nation, campus computers and email accounts have been used for the setup of file sharing software, commonly used for trading music online. The R IAA uses email and IP addresses to track down the offenders, many of which lead them straight to college campuses. "Our students are adults here, and it's not a problem," stated Veres in regards to RIAA lawsuits and illegal music downloading. Although "personal use of computer facilities" is restricted under section 3.9 of the CSUSM computer access policies, any cursory examination of computers on campus reveal obvious and frequent personal use, a common example being the abundance of sites like myspace.com listed in the browser history. While Veres observes that Cal State S&n Marcos does not have any way of actually observing or regulating the use of campus computers, the college does use a complex system of anti-virus software that cuts out most file sharing traffic by blocking ports often used in the transfer of such material. This system does not stop the use of file sharing programs, yet the virus software installed on campus recognizes the protocols used by such programs as potentially unsafe and thus blocks all Internet traffic over the ports in use. Rather than employ a large net- into contracting with a legitimate work of devices to regulate the music download site for the ben'personal' activities of students efit of students.

Campus Resources: Helpful technology on Kellogg's second floor BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer The Kellogg Library's second floor offers more resources than students might be aware of. Immediately to the right of the ground floor entrance, the Media Library contains a wide variety of films and programming, including 16 multimedia editing stations, two sections of which, according to Suzanne Rios, Library Assistant in the Media Library, are more "beefed up," than the others. These have DVD and VHS editing capabilities, including programs to transfer video f rom different sized tapes on to a VHS or DVD. The most underutilized portions of the Media Library, according to Rios, are the CD and DVD recorders, along with the dual VCRs. Students can feel free to go into the media library to transfer music from a cassette tape to a CD, a movie from a VHS to a DVD, or transfer video from one VHS to another. All of the stations are set up with a program, created by an alumnus of CSUSM, which will walk users through each of . the editing options, step by step. There is also additional help provided by the Systems Staff from 8am to 5pm for more in-depth assistance. While those interested in taking a piece of the Media Library home with them are likely to favor DVDs, Rios states that, "I p ersonally d on't like h aving DVDs here; they just don't withstand the use and abuse of people using them." The Media Library began its collection of DVDs about three years ago, and since then has had to replace many of them due to damage. They are now ordering most everything in DVD form, yet, "It is going to take a while," says Rios. Some might havQ confused the Media Library with the other underutilized service directly across from it. Chris Thaeler, a knowledgeable student working at the Student Technology Help Desk, was more than willing to clarify what sets it apart. "Basically, the Help Desk services all of the students on campus whenever they have computer problems." Recently, this included some confusion regarding with many students' Computer Competency Requirements (CCR). word processing skills, spreadsheets skills, internet skills, and ethics and viruses knowledge. (General Knowledge is no longer being given.) This requirement must be fulfilled b y the end of the student's second semester of attendance at CSUSM. A fter the second semester, if the CCR has not been fulfilled, a registration hold will be placed, preventing any further registration activity..." As for why some students who met the requirement recently M a r y A tkins, w h o o perates a s f ound CSUSM's Scheduling & Software Coordinator as well as its Computer Competency Requirement Coordinator, clarified the matter with the Pride via email. "The purpose of the Computer Competency Requirement is to ensure that students are competent in the basics of computer use early in their studies. These four basic competencies include: again, Ms. Atkins explains. "A short while ago, we changed the BANNER page to reflect the fact that the General Knowledge section of the CCR was no longer being given. "On Thursday, April 13, 2006, the System Development people corrected the Advising Transcript so that it also reflected this fact. For a short while, the Advising Transcript was showing that students still needed to take this section when they, in fact, did not. This discrepancy reflected the process of getting all "scripts' Corrections and Clarifications: Volume XV Issue No. 13: Headline on Page 1 should have read Recycling Wins.

No student was suddenly in a nonfulfilled state, it only appeared that they were. The problem was fixed last week." Students still uncertain about their CCR can check their status through 'Smart Web' and can read a description of the program at www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. This link provides a sample exam, study materials, and the exam schedule. No matter a student's computer literacy, the Help Desk makes a variety of equipment available for check out, including laptops, video equipment (camcorders and digital cameras), headphones, and tape recorders, to name a few. These resources are limited, however, so they check items out on a first come first serve basis. Though the Help Desk is there to aid students in need, they do not have any office supplies for sale. Helpful as they may be, "we're not Office Depot," said Thaeler. For more information, please contact (760)750-4371 or Mary Atkins at 760-750-4788.

"VOX is a national organization. Ours is the 3rd chapter in San Diego," said cofounder Costales. "It's established and running well at SDSU and UCSD". Costales believes he might be the first male founder in the nation for thè VOX movement. Staff advisor for VOX, psychology professor Sonja Ruiz PhD, is proud to advise the organization. "Chad and Ana Liza came and talked to me about it. I thought it was a great idea. I respect Ana Liza and Chad," said Dr. Ruiz, "It's a great opportunity to educate students." For those unfamiliar with VOX, or the contributions of Planned Parenthood, Cos"We need all the support we can get," tales defines the group as a student organisaid Ana Liza P.

Costales, however, took a more decisive stance. "I don' think it's fair to deny education.

VOX will soon be recognized as a student organization and will have a recognition kick-off party, possibly during finals week. "Alumni, faculty, staff, and students are f ree to attend all of our meetings and events," announced Soriano. The first meeting was already highly informative. Attendees learned that, among other things Costales explained as contrary to popular belief, "abortion accounts for only 8% of services offered by Planned Parenthood." Soriano informed attendees that many in the media "portray emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) and abortion pills as the same thing , and they're not; ECP prevents pregnancy in an emergency, while an abortion pill (works) within the first few weeks of pregnancy."

BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride In the second round of the West playoffs the Spurs will beat the Mavericks because the Spurs have much better guard play than the Mavericks and the Mavs won't be able to compete with Emmanuel Ginobli and Tony Parker. An all L.A. match-up here is going to be interesting. I think it would be a sign of the Apocalypse if the Clippers were to beat the Lakers in the playoffs so we can't have that happen. The Lakers will beat the Clippers, because the Lakers have the best player in the NBA, Kobe. In the Western Conference Finals the Spurs will sweep the Lakers. Kobe can't go 5-on-l, in basketball that is. The Lakers did beat the Spurs one time in the regular season but the Spurs are just too good and will await the Eastern Conference winner. In the Eastern first round playoffs the Detroit Pistons could send half their team to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and still sweep them with a double digit victory in each game. The NBA wants the Cleveland Cavaliers to beat the Washington Wizards because their golden goose for marketing, LeBron James, is a big draw for T.V. ratings, but I think the Wizards will take the series. The Wiz took three-of-four in the regular season and the trifecta of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler is much better than any combo on the Cavs. I think the Chicago Bulls will take the Miami Heat to six games in the first round, but the Heat has too much talent to lose in the first round. The Bulls barely made the playoffs and for some reason they have many of the experts choosing them for the upset. There is no way I am picking against Batman (Shaq) and Robin (Wade) because Michael Jeffrey Jordan certainly isn't walking onto that court for the Bulls. The New Jersey Nets have been en fuego lately and the Indiana Pacers have been beat up this whole season. The Pacers haven't had an opportunity to get into a flow because one key person has always been out, whereas the Nets have been healthy all season and it will show in this match-up. In the second round of the East playoffs the Pistons will take down the Wiz without even breaking a sweat. The Wizards couldn't even win if they were actual wizards and used magic. The Nets will beat the Heat, because like I said before regarding the Pacers, the same applies to the Heat, thus ending my prediction. The Nets attack the hoop on . nearly every possession so look for Shaq to be in constant foul trouble and that will be the determining factor in the series. The Pistons will cut the Nets down in the East. Great defense always beats great offense and the Nets really don't play defense at all whereas the Pistons do both exceptionally well. In the NBA Finals there will be a rematch. I .think it will go seven games again and the Pistons will take game seven this time around with Chauncey Billups winning his second Finals MVP award.

I just wanted to point out to you that in your letter you wrote that there is an, 'importance for such an event' (the gay wedding). Cheyenne, this is a false statement. ASI is promoting something that is illegal in our country and I don't see importance in this. Weekly I see protests, conventions, and parades on campus that are promoting rights and issues that many people on campus are tired of. I plead that ASI and the LBGTA stop pushing these issues in students lives. Forcing these issues down our. throats is actually impeding on our rights. Many people do not wish to see a transgender fashion show or gay wedding, and i think it is wrong to promote something that is completely anti-America. I am not looking for a fight and i can tell you that i really am not a hateful person, i am just doing my duty to our community and asking in a respectful way to stop such behavior. Hopefully we can make some headway to more important topics \o promote on our campus at Cal State San Marcos University. If you need ideas, i qan think of plenty and i would be willing to help.

But where's the rebel pop princess been this whole time? Well, she got married for one thing, to Motocross hot shot, Carey Hart. And she spent time putting a lot of thought into her next projects. The effort paid off as Pink is back. In fact, she's back in a big way, and she's anything but dead, as her newly released record clearly insists. As her aggressive album cover depicts, on "I'm Not Dead" no one is safe f rom being called out in one way or another through Pink's fierce lyrics. Coming out swinging, Pink is addressing more controversial issues than ever before in her edgy blend of expletive-filled, rockinfused pop. Pink uses "I'm Not Dead" as her platform to speak out against everything from bulimia to current events. On "Stupid Girls," the album's first single, Pink attacks the abundance of disgusting celebrity qualities that are keeping the masses infatuated. Along with the track comes a highly satirical video that badly mocks the likes of a Daisy Duke-wearing, suds-up, General Lee-washing Jessica Simpson, skinny doggy-toting, oversized glasses wearing Nicole Richie, and of course, the infamous sidekick addicted poor driver, Lindsay Lohan. On the reminiscent "Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self," and "Runaway," Pink struggles with her remaining innerteenager. She also attacks a prominent politician and his agenda on "Dear Mr. President." Bringing an acoustic guitar driven sound into the mix on "The One That Got Away," Pink adds some musical diversity to the record, as she does with the R&B flavored take on the concept of insane materialism in the aptly named "I Got Money Now." Pink chooses on this record to collaborate with some unexpected artists. While she could have her pick of celebrity rappers Photo courtesy of La Face Records and singers across the board, Pink chooses instead to work with the Indigo Girls and her very own father on the hidden track, "I Have Seen the Rain." Whatever she chooses to sing about, essentially doing whatever she wants, on this new record Pink proves' that she's alive and well. American Nightmarez BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer The movie American Dreamz had potential in taking a direct stab at American pop culture, its current presidential office, terrorism, and the glue binding it all together: American Idol. The plot was clever enough to lure a packed audience into the matinee on Friday, but when I left the theater I felt more unscathed than when I walked in two hours earlier. The movie careens through several subplots, revolving around the show "American Dreamz," a near direct take-off of American Idol. It eventually brings all the contestants together in a predictable ending to the grand finale of the show. Mandy Moore plays a comically heartless young singer, willing to do anything to win the game show, while going up against a fellow featured Arab contestant and "American D reamz" sensation, Omer (Golzari), who is coincidentally a terrorist sleeper cell set out to kill the President, who happens to be guest hosting the show in an attempt to boost his popularity ratings. Hugh Grant plays the egotistical movie version of Simon Cowell and a lmost the Photo courtesy Universal Studios Kemem6ering Lisa / BY RACHEL CARIE WANN Pride Staff Writer This week, the music world and TLC fans everywhere will remember the life of Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes, which was tragically cut short four years ago on April 25, 2002. Known to most of the world as a member of the widely successful Hip-Hop R&B trio, TLC, Lopes stood out among the remaining members as the most outspoken and controversial of the group and l eft the world to remember both her talent, adding flavor and originality to TLC with her raps and spunky stage presence, and the public drama that infiltrated her life. v Born in Philly on May 27,1971, Lopes joined TLC at the age of 20 in the early nineties in Atlanta, Georgia with Tionne "TBoz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. The flashy clothing worn by the girls that featured a staple wardrobe of baggy pants and condoms as accessories garnered TLC almost as much as attention as their in-your-face songs which quickly escalated the singer's/rapper's career to extreme heights as the girl group took a stand in their music speaking out against prevalent issues such as AIDS and safe-sex and youth crime. TLC went on to produce top-ten hit-filled records beginning with "Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip," the infamous "CrazySexyCool" which included such giant hits as "Creep" and "Waterfalls" and "Fan Mail" which featured the radio-friendly hits, "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty." Aside f rom her musical accolades, Lopes garnered as much, if not more, press Photos courtesy of La Face Records r * ,, ~ ii ; ., for her baby-faced bad-girl together of Cowell's notoriously cold demeanor and arrogance. The movie takes a very uncreative and unenthused stab at the current White House office, with Dennis Quaid playing President Staton. The dim, light-hearted President, already in the midst of a nervous breakdown, is torn between his political guidance and his newfound interest in public opinion. Dafoe plays the overbearing chief of staff and puppeteers the Commander in Chief via an earpiece throughout the movie, scripting every line and sedating the President reputation in the music world and the tabloid headlines of her constant antics and exploits, such as her tumultuous relationship with her then-boyfriend, NFL star Andre Rison, whose mansion she famously set fire to in 1994. Lopes pleaded guilty to arson and accepted five years of probation and a hefty, but this wasn't the last time the ladies of TLC found themselves in controversy. Lopes, along with her band mates, fought publicly with their manager, singer Pebbles, and again with her record label Pebbetone prior to the release of her much-anticipated solo-record, "Supernova." They also endured filing for bankruptcy and dealing with substance abuse and chronic diseases in the eye of the ever critical media. The band was in the middle of recording a new album in 2002 when tragedy struck. Sadly, Lopes's life was cut short by her untimely sudden death. While vacationing in La Cieba, Honduras, Lopes was volunteering at a holistic healing center and a children's institute, when Lopes and her party of eight that included her brother and sister, were involved in a car crash that proved to be fatal for Lopes M e r she sustained a blow to the head. While moderately f unny, and while die-hard f ans of American Idol will find its take of the shows previous contestants fairly amusing, I felt the movie never went where it had the potential to go. American Dreamz stomps on the pedal and then lets off the gas, toying with the notion of taking a stance on what's currently warped with American society. The political statement I felt it was trying to make was mild at best and never reached the mark it seemed set for. This one is best saved for a rental. Lopes was the driver and the only fatality out of the eight tourists. Shortly after Lopes's death, Lopes's band mates called in to the MTV show TRL to express their deepest sorrows stating that "Lisa had one of the biggest hearts of anybody we've ever known. She did charity work with kids for the lupus disease. She adopted a little girl named Snow.... Lisa could do anything s hrput her miiid to." Lopes's impact on* those she encountered and workeffWith was evident in a statement from Antonio "L A." Reidj4 CEO and p resident of Arista^Records", the label which T LC *called home for over 10 years. "No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss", Reid said in a statement following Lopes's death. He went on to say that "Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspiration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered forever." Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes was laid to rest in Lithonia, Georgia on May 3, 2002. She will not soon be forgotten as her legacy continues to live on in her music. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The 2006 Competition featured three categories: Waste Minimization, Per Capita, and an overall combined category of Grand Champion. The award of Grand Champion calculates the combination of recycling per capita and waste minimization to determine the institution with the best overall performance.

Are Course Evaluations worth the effort? BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer With the conclusion of each semester, students participate in course evaluations providing feedback to professors and administrators on the quality of the curriculum and teaching effectiveness. Within a four-year academic career at Cal State San Marcos, each student will complete approximately 35-40 course evaluations, evaluating both the instructor and the course. Many students rush through the evaluation process, and doubt that their opinions are ever read or considered. Through further analysis and interviews with key faculty members, findings negate student suspicions that course evaluations go overlooked. "Course evaluations assist instructors in monitoring their teaching effectiveness," said Matthew Ceppi, director of Institutional Planning & Analysis. "Research has shown that ratings can be used to improve instruction delivery ifutilized as part of a personal consultation between the faculty member and a mentor or Evaluations, SEE page 2 Biasedl mediaP BY JON THOMNPSON Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday evening, CSUSM professor Dr. Anthony Hurst introduced the group "Peace Mark." Representative Hank Kraus had contacted Hurst about having their speaker give a lecture on campus. Kraus briefly described his organization as a peace organization seeking an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Kraus then introduced the evening's speaker, Allison Weir, as a "Peace Mark" affiliate with "If Americans Knew." Although the lecture was open to the public, it was attended by Hurst's LTWR/COMM 316 Student Newspaper class and a handful of local "Peace Mark" members. The only Cal State San Marcos students in attendance were from the Student Newspaper class. "Despite our affiliations we should get the facts," said Weir, as she introduced herself as a journalist. She went on to say, "I don't take a side; I just believe in being as accurate as possible, and reporting what the media leaves out." She expressed that "all humans are important, regardless of race, or religion." After being questioned for clarification, Weir said, "My views are not without my own bias." Weir began the presentation with a power point of numerous graphs demonstrating the drastic slant in American news coverage of Israeli deaths, as opposed to the coverage of the deaths of Palestinians.

Recently, the evaluations have been reviewed for modifications by the Academic Senate. The evaluation modifications are expected to go through another review during the 2006/2007 school year. According to Dr. Dreama Moon, Communication professor and department chair, student evaluations were born during the 1960's and '70's as a result of student resistance. Students felt that professors had a lot of power and control over their grades, while the students themselves had no say regarding the course experience. So, course evaluations were created and became a part of professors' job performance review. "I read mine and attended to the comments that are helpful and constructive,- but some [are] not," said Dr. Moon. While course evaluations were born out of Baby Boomer student activism, today's college students may feel less engaged about them, according to Moon. "Students often don't give them much attention or thought," said Dr. Moon. "I believe in student power and their voices should be heard, but it's like a mechanic evaluating a plumber." "It's just a way of getting students' opinions without actually dealing with them," said Austin Anderson, Communication major and graduating senior. "I'm sure there's a law out there that requires {course evaluations], but I don't think the [administrators] sit there and actually read them." In fact, Article 15 (15.14 15.17) of the California Faculty Association collective bargaining agreement outlines the policies on course evaluations completed by students. According to the other resource person." According to Ceppi, the campus spends $36,709 each academic year generating, conducting and processing course evaluations. The course evaluations utilize an academic scantron format, requiring students to provide answers to specific course quality, as well as offering opportunities for free-response evaluation. Each evaluation has specific objectives associated with the course. Students are not asked to reveal any parts of their identity; all course evaluations are confidential. After answering general background information, the student is asked to address questions regarding the instructor and the course: was the instructor well prepared, did the course materials fit the course topic,, etc. To answer each question, students choose between five options ranging from "strongly agree," "neutral," to "strongly disagree." To maintain a neutral environment, course instructors are not allowed in the room while students complete the evaluations. The content on the evaluations is developed by the Academic Senate Faculty Affairs Committee and approved by the Academic Senate as a whole. The deployment method is handled by the Institutional Planning & Analysis committee. Evaluations are generated based on items that have been used in other institutions for many years.

Carl Hanson, member of the Green Team, a division that operates out of Facility Services, attributes the school's success to the Blue Team's commitment to excellence, in addition to the large amounts of cardboard collected during new campus construction and renovations. "We are the cardboard kings," said Hanson. "The Markstein Hall opening produced a lot of cardboard, which we were able to capture and recycle." RecycleMania is a ten week friendly competition created to increase awareness on the need to reduce all waste including trash and recyclables. The goal is to acknowledge the institution that was able to "collect the largest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash and have the highest recycling rate," according to the rules at recyclemaniacs. org. The official "Thank You Day Event" and presentation of the new trophy is scheduled for the month of September to applaud and recognize the campus' hard work and continual commitment. "We would like to thank those who contributed to this wonderful victory by Reducing, Reusing and R ecycling... and a special thanks to the people who made that extra effort in their own areas to help capture and claim all of those recyclables," said the Cal State San Marcos Blue Team. "I expect the competition to get bigger and bigger with every year," said Hanson. As this event grows in popularity, Cal State San Marcos will have to do even better to defend its title. "There is always room for improvement," said Hanson. "Ultimately, our dream is to produce zero waste! We need to improve campus communication and student involvement to create a culture that when you step on campus, you just know to recycle." Grand Master Champion trophy made from recycled material.

Weir's presentation then went into a series of graphic photos of numerous Palestinian men and women killed by Israeli soldiers during the "recent conflict." The slides provided when and where on their bodies the Palestinians were shot, but no further information was offered. Later in the evening, when Weir was questioned as to the circumstances of these deaths, she still gave no explanation as to the circumstances. The photos went on to show a number of children injured and killed by I sraelis, m ost o f w hich w ith m e a D ove pnotograpn reatures tne city or Khan Yunis, in central Baza, in February 2001. "Since then, n o e xplanation a t a ll t o t he the area has been even more destroyed," said Weir. "In the past few weeks, Israel has sent over 2,300 c ircumstance. T he m ost t hat artillery shells and 34 missies into Gaza," according to Weir: was offered by Weir was that a few of the children were throwing rocks. When again pressed by questioning as to any provocation of these deaths or perhaps what it was the boys were throwing rocks at, Weir again implied no provocation or reason for the actions of the Israeli's military members. Weir then transitioned into her brief history of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and the conflict surrounding the area. Her history excluded biblical history of the region; instead, her account of the region began with the relinquishing of control of the region by England to the United Nations. The United Nations then decided, after World War II, to give what is today Israel to the Jewish people. According to Weir, the current tensions and violence in the region resulted from the "unfair" division of the land in 1948, granting 55 percent of the region to the Jewish people and 45 percent to the indigenous Arab people. Her historical account continued into what she said the Israelis refer to as, "the war of independence"; historically, this war is referred to as the Six Day War. Weir's account of the Six Day War amounted to what she called the Israeli's 'Pearl Harbor-like' attack on the United States in 1967, when the Israeli "brutally attacked the USS Liberty for relentless hours killing 34 American servicemen and injuring 172 others." Weir said, it was during this attack when Israel took Gaza and the West Bank and initiated the current conflict. Weir then proceeded to show slides and describe her 2001 trip to the region, Photo courtesy of Alison Weir from "If Americans Knew.Org" where she toured the area as a freelance reporter. Her slide show featured many photographs of her trip to the West Bank. Once the locals discovered Weir was a journalist, she said the townspeople "flocked" to her, wanting to show her the damage to their homes from Israeli bullets and bombs. The homes, depicted by the pictures Weir took, showed shells of what were once homes and apartment buildings, as well as leveled fields and farm land, with border walls in the background.^ When questioned as to the circumstances surrounding the pictures she displayed, Weir denied any wrong doing by the Palestinians to provoke these actions by the Israelis. Weir then went on to describe a common scenario where Israelis drive their tanks and their fully outfitted soldiers anywhere to assault the Palestinian people and their homes, "intentionally creating poverty" and "intentionally executing children." Weir points out that the United States is currently giving "$10 million per day in aid to Israel." On the contrary, her website suggests that $15,139,178 per day is given in aid. Weir said that, "we (Americans) helped create this conflict through our aid," contributing to the violence. Weir was asked what circumstances drove the Israelis to undertake these actions. Weir insisted that after conversing with and among the Palestinians, she did not see, and was not ever aware of, any provocation on behalf of the Palestinians. When asked about her views on the Pal- estinian group, Hamas, Weir responded saying that Hamas was primarily a "social service group," working within the communities. Weir said "Hamas is seen as a reform party." She claimed that the creation of Hamas was the result of the people "being killed and starved under the Fatah government and the corruption of Arafat and his call for an equal secretarial democratic state." Weir claimed "that Hamas was responsible for holding a recent truce for a year." When asked about the means by which Hamas wages war, Weir immediately started to justify suicide bombings by explaining that, "without planes, attack choppers or tanks, [suicide bombing] is the only means of delivering a bomb that the Hamas has." Responding to the question about the locations for where Hamas delivers their attacks, Weir said "Soldiers eat in restaurants and market places," stating that it's the military that Hamas is attacking in these public places, not the Israelis citizens. Weir began to tell of her time spent in Israel and related it to why Hamas would attack public buses. "When I would take the public bus in Israel, I would get on to see two or three soldiers already on board; by the time we got to the end of the line, several others had gotten onboard." The above viewpoints are intended to represent only the view points of the speaker, and her affiliate organizations.

Sometimes the seemingly more low profile tables turned out to have the most behind them. Cory Stepanek, of Genworth Financial, in a small corner, was eager to enter into a dialog without trying to screen this reporter out in the first minute. His company was part of the financial service division of GE for 10 years. It spun off only 2 years, ago but is already a fortune 500, active in 38 countries. In addition to such things that might impress or perhaps intimidate, we spoke of the importance of bringing in a workplace from all walks of life. "It's critical to have diversity in the workplace . .. we already have 50/50 male/ female, but what we really target is people who are passionate about believing in what long term care can do. Background has very little impact on what we're looking for; we love diversity because we're looking to reach everyone, because everyone deals with aging." The conversation continued, and Mr. Stepanek discussed how good it was for businesses to work from the standpoint of a more needs-based than cutthroat, monopolizing market. "As an industry we need to work together . .. not fight each other, because that doesn't help anybody; it hurts consumers' confidence, it hurts the industry, and is not solving the need." He then pointed to the auto industry, and how car lots never used to be 'auto malls' when they saw each other as competition, but now see the advantages of 'one stop shopping.' As many other prospective employees would be asked that day, he wanted to know not only what skills would be brought to the table, but 'why do you want to work in this field?' •> The Future Teacher Summer Institute provides at least $900 in fellowship to each participant toward die cost of tuition ($951).

The signs posted every few feet around lots X, Y and Z warning drivers not to spin their tires for fear of damaging other cars with a spray of rocks, do little to help the negative feelings of students about the dirt lots. According to the Physical Planning office, the makeshift lots are also located on an area of campus designated for use as sports fields. While the lots are not in immediate risk of disappearing, Mr. Williams concedes that they may u nexpectedly be removed if funding for the sports fields is a ppropriated or donated. Even if that were to happen, though, according to the predictions of Parking Services, there should be enough parking for students. Many students weary of hiking uphill through the elements from lots X, Y and Z to their classes don't think the new F lot can come soon enough. One student, Eric Fiebrantz, Communications 2006, said it would be "great", citing the shorter walk to class and not having to wash his car as often as two clear benefits. In regards to the F lot and eventual construction of the parking structure, he added, "...too bad I'll be graduated before any of it's done". Photo Illustration by David Gatley / The Pride Weekly Wacky Website: Deathclock.com BY KATRENA ROBINOSN Pride Staff Writer I can't believe I 'm going to die on Christmas! This was my reaction when I visited the website deathclock. com which revealed I was going to die Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2063. To not be intrigued by a title that reads, "Death Clock: the internet's friendly reminder that time is slipping away.,." you'd have to have no pulse. The website asks for seven things: the day, month, and year of birth, sex, mode (which is basically asking if you're pessimistic), and BMI (if you don't know yours it helps you calculate it). With these seven things Death Clock calculates how much longer you have to live. As morbid or absurd as it sounds, this site has been visited more than 100,000 times since its apparent inception early in the century. Sidebar links include f un archives like "Obituary" where the curious can view the departure time of celebrities like Britney Spear's, who isn't scheduled till February 2061 at eighty-one years old; I'm sure she'll be missed. Then there's "Your Will" leading to FAQ's about the website, "The Mortuary" as a kind of Death Clock store for t-shirts, screensavers, as well as polls and quote listings. "The Dead Letter Office" is where some of the nastier (and nicer) e-mails are posted. The e-mails sent to the creator of the Death Clock website go as far as accusing the creator of pretending to play God, to accusing them of leaving others in serious distress, awaiting their day (or other loved ones day) of doom.

Photos by Michelle Herald / The Pride NORTH COUNTY'S LARGEST PREMIER TANNING SUPER SALONS �Fall in love with the Big Apple BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Over Spring Break I was fortunate enough to spend five days in Manhattan in what turned out to be, by far, the best time of my life. With a handful of my best friends, a bunch of wiom live in New York, I explored and absorbed New York beyond my wildest imaginations. With incredible pub and bar scenes, incomparably delicious Jewish delis, the world's best pizza, buildings the size of mountains, themed restaurants that defy explanation, subway systems that span to eternity, and people that are as friendly as family, the city of New York has never been more inviting. Staying for free in the Upper West Side definitely didn't hurt matters much. In fact, my buddy's shoebox of an apartment had a balcony with access to the roof, which was definitely the sweetest part of my entire trip. While nursing hangovers and waiting for nightfall, I was free to roam the roof tops like Spiderman, watching over my temporary home from far above the streets. The Upper West Side is geographically located, well above the majority of the city and on the western side of the island. However, once you step outside your buildings m jgteraKragM WäMtiBI* ; •8 m B IS WÊÊÊKiéMÈi wmm:' * jflte' ^ w « • B ili direction is lost. Having a native to guide you on your way is definitely a must. Every night in New York was unbelievable. I found myself mesmerized by the amount of young college students every where I went. Unlike San Diego's sparse hot spots like PB and Downtown, practically every street in Manhattan is going crazy every night of the week all nightlong. I'm not sure because almost every residence is smaller than a closet, driving people outside for their own sanity, or maybe it's because there are more people in this city than most states' entire population, but it seems like the entire community goes out every night to meet one another in some crazy ongoing party where everyone is invited. When you're not in the mood for a night of drunken debauchery (which was a rare m • filled with incredible places to go, see, and experience. Opting to spend a little more money for dinner, we decided to go to a themed restaurant called Ninja. All we had heard of the place was something along the lines of real ninjas serving sushi. I mean, how can you go wrong, ninjas, sushi, sharp knives, and sake; rnost definitely ingredients for a good time. Man, we underestimated the overall experience that restaurant would offer. The restaurant itself could serve as an entire article, but I'll suffice to say that secret passageways, crazy ninja attacks, secret Japanese villages, and ninja magic await to please all of your senses in a most unforgettable evening. The craziest part of New York has to be that no matter how much time you spend there, no matter how long you live there, you will never discover all that the city has to offer, restaurants like Ninja are tucked away everywhere in the city. And in case the city is too middle of it lies Central Park, quite possibly our nation's greatest city planned park, allows a temporary escape for the cement weary. Spanning grassy hills, open air concert venues, serene lakes and massive oak trees replace the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps. Maybe it's the stark contrast of the skyscraper skyline juxtaposed with the natural landscape of the forest, but the park serves to balance out a city of excess. I could go on forever conveying to you how enamored with the city I am, but even then I wouldn't come close to relaying the experience. If you do one crazy thing Photos by David Gatley / The Pride �What does the Day of Silence mean to me? Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA, I know first hand what silence meant to me. I'm from the birthplace of the Christian Coalition and in my backyard were Pat Robertson and the 700 Club! I was teased, picked on, bullied, beat up, harassed, and made to feel insignificant. Religious groups and individuals always used their teachings to justify their intolerance of me. Growing up Catholic, this caused me a great deal of pain and caused me to leave our family's church. I was no longer welcome. How can this happen? If I tried to ask questions or explain my perspective, it was assumed I must have a personal agenda or was trying to "recruit" new members. I was quieted! I was relegated to the fringes. If I do not occupy your space, you do not have to listen to me. I was silenced! In honor of those who have been silenced, some of us will take an entire day to show our support by remaining silent ourselves. Critics say that this isn't educational and it serves no purpose. However, I think it is educational. I have faith that this act of silence can and will jumpstart conversation. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Even though we cannot see it, I believe there is a desire to find that mutual respect. We will onlyfindit by talking - and listening - to each other. What is the Day of Silence®? Now in its tenth year, the Day of Silence, a project of GLSEN® or the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Educa- tion Network in collaboration with the United States Student Association (USSA), is a student-led day of action where those who support making anti-LGBT bullying and harassment unacceptable in schools participate in events to recognize and protest the discrimination and harassment—in effect, the silencing—experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students and their allies. The Day of Silence® is an annual opportunity for students to tell their truths about anti-LGBT bullying, violence and harassment. A GLSEN® commissioned survey, From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in America conducted by Harris Interactive, found that sexual orientation and gender expression are among the top three reasons teens report that students are harassed at their schools. GLSEN's 2003 National School Climate Survey found that 4 out of 5 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30% report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety. The LGBTA will participate in the 10th Annual Day of Silence event, Wednesday April 26th. Come join us - in silence - to show your support for those who have been silenced against their will. We will meet at 12:00 noon in front of the Kellogg Library. If you would like to participate in this event feel free to stop by and receive a "Silence Card" to show your support. Jay Franklin E xercise in G ender N ormality V iolation I am a white male, six feet tall and a solid 165 pounds. I'm also a Women's Studies and Service Sector Management Major. Recently I arrived at school wearing a tight purple skirt, a poncho and carrying a red purse. Walking across campus, a guy yelled, "Sick!", The reason may be that "real men" are socialized to define themselves by what they are not (women or homosexuals). By distancing themselves from anything considered female or homosexual men can signify that they are in fact masculine. Crying out is useful as it alerts others that one is not to be identified as feminine or homosexual and in fact must be a "real man". Today on campus a man was carrying a pitchfork. Pitchforks are infinitely more dangerous than skirts, yet it hardly raised an eyebrow. What is it about a skirt that provokes such a reaction? If you're wondering why I would come to school dressed as I did, it was an exercise in violating gender norms. Gender norms or "gender scripts" are ideas associated with being either female or male. They are per formative behaviors. By per formative, I mean they are a social constructed script, "a part one plays", when in the presence of others. By following the script other people know how to react; we have all been socialized to WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER? The Perfect Summer Job!

We all recognize gender stereotypes. For example, if I say "nurse" what gender image comes to mind? If I say "President", what gender image comes to mind? Judith Butler, who is considered to be the creator of modern 'queer theory' and an expert on gender, argues that nothing about one's gender isfixed.If this is true, then our notions of what is female and male are not innate. Considering that Western notions of gender are not universal, Butler's point seems a valid one. Margaret Mead, author of Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, studies three separate cultures and suggests that which we call feminine and masculine are not linked to biological sex, but rather to social conditioning. In Western society the first question we tend to ask of a newborn babe is, "Is it a girl or a boy?". Based on the child's biological sex, it will be assigned a socially constructed gender. The child's gender will then determine where the child works, how much the child earns, and how the child is viewed and treated by society. Gender seems to be odd criteria to base all of this on especially if gender is not an innate characteristic. If we can accept that gender stereotypes are socially constructed and not universal or innate, then it is possible to change our notions of female and male. It is possible to do away with the binary that woman and men are opposites. I recommend we challenge the notion that women like pink, are submissive and demure /and men like blue, are aggressive and authoritative. I recommend this because my experience of wearing a dress to school made me think about how a woman might feel when she goes for a job interview for a position of authority mat has traditionally been viewed a male position. I do not think anyone would yell remarks at her backside, but I think she may be concerned that people will shake their heads and say, no that doesn'tfitin our narrow view of female / male. We could learn from cultures that do not subscribe to Western notions of female/male. Blurring the gender lines would result in more women in leadership positions and more men being able to express emotion and vulnerability. I think I'm not alone in my thinking, a woman dressed in a smart looking business suit gave me —in my dress— - a knowing smile. Maybe she understood that breaking down gender stereotypes is empowering to everyone. Maybe she was even a little bit flattered, after all mimicry is the most sincere form offlattery.-Terrance Jaffer �THE PRIDE SPORTS Tuesday; April 18, 2006 Jock Talk With Josh: NFL Draft Jimmy Williams.

Moss is the question mark of the wide receiver class. He kind of reminds me of Steve Smith from the Carolina Panthers. Moss is small, but has explosive speed. He could, however, also be severely undersized and be a bust in the NFL. If the Chargers somehow found a way to move up in the draft, look for them to take offensive tackle Winston Justice from USC. They brought Justice in to talk with him, but he is expected to be a top 15 pick after impressive draft workouts. The Chargers would go this route, because they need to protect their young quarterback, Phillip Rivers. The quarterback will definitely go through some growing pains, and several offensive linemen always seem to go down, so having a young guy like Justice would only help. What could also affect their draft outlook is that the Chargers are supposedly looking' to trade linebacker Donnie Edwards, for a draft pick, most likely. If Edwards goes, then the Chargers have a linebacker spot to fill and could possibly have another pick in the first or second round. After A.J. Hawk, Ernie Sims from Florida State is the next rated linebacker. I don't like him, however, because he is under sized. Chad Greenway from Iowa is rated next, but he really isn't that strong, even though he does have nice size. I would love to see Bobby Carpenter from Ohio State get picked by the Chargers. He is underrated because his college teammate, Hawk, got a lot of the attention in school. Carpenter reminds me of Shawne Merriman from last season, I was very high on Merriman last season because he could play defensive end and linebacker in college and was also overlooked. Carpenter fits that exact mold and could be a steal in the late first round if the Chargers could pick up another pick. Whatever the Chargers do, I just hope they don't draft another Ryan Leaf.

Could you use some help? Perhaps The Worst-Case Survival Handbook: Dating And Sex by Piven, Borgenicht, and Worick is for you. Have you ever wondered how to tell if your date is an axe murderer? A con artist? Or even (gasp) married? This is the book for you! In it you will find definitive hints and helps to determine these things, and so much more! In the first section, called Defensive Dating, there is even a section on how to determine the gender of your date (in case it is in question). Full of many helpful hints, like "How To Deal With A Date Who Moves Too Fast" (to stop unwanted kisses, claim you have a cold, or merely cough or sneeze in their face); to "How To Fend Off A Pickup Artist" (Do not accept drinks, or cause an "accident" by inadvertently knocking glasses, empty or full, into their lap when you turn back to face them). But always remember to apologize (insincerely). In "How To Escape From A Bad Date", tips range from having a friend call you with news of a family "emergency" to advice on how to slip away unnoticed, complete with quick disguise ideas you can implement in the restroom until you can make your escape. This includes addition or subtraction of clothing, cosmetics, accessories, even changes in hairstyle and posture. Even borrowing an apron from the hired help can be useful in a truly desperate situation. This chapter also contains instructions and techniques for breaking and escaping through the bathroom window (Use the wastebasket, toilet plunger, or paper towel dispenser to break the glass, and then use your jacket or sweater to remove the shards until you can escape). In "How to Survive If You Have Excessive Gas", tips range from limiting the type and amount of food you eat with gas-forming food identified, as well as specific postures you can assume to allow the gas to escape "Kneel on the floor, bend forward, and stretch your arms out in front of you. Keep your buttocks high in the air..." in the privacy of the restroom, of course. In "How To Survive If Your Credit Card Is Declined" in a restaurant, advice ranges from offering collateral or providing references, to the "Dine and Dash". In a step by step process, the dine and dash option is outlined: be prepared to 1.Accept the consequences (never going back again). 2. Tell your date the plan. 2. Plan your route of escape. 3. Wait until the staff is busy. 4. Pretend to pay the bill with cash. 5. Walk confidently out the door. 6. As soon as you are outside, run. 7. If you are being followed, do not go directly to your car. Of course stiffing a restaurant is illegal. You can arrange to pay the restaurant through a third party, but it is probably not a good idea to go back yourself. In "H ow To Determine If Your Date Is Married", (always a good idea) the warning signs to look for are: a pale band of flesh around the left ring finger, not being able to get their "home phone number, refusals to allow any public displays of affection, tell-tale signs left in their car like someone else's cosmetics, pacifiers, toys, etc. Inversely, these are things to avoid in "How To Have An Affair And Not Get Caught", as well as how to organize a series of convincing alibis and witnesses to help explain your absences. Of course, if you always pay in cash you leave no paper trail, and keeping a change of clothes in your car eliminates laundry mysteries such as lipstick stains and strange cologne smells which could give you away. Even topics such as how to fake an orgasm, remove difficult clothing, have sex in small spaces (like elevators and airplanes) are addressed. Difficult issues like how to survive waking up next to someone who's name you don't remember and how to properly stop a wedding are enumerated and explained. In the back there is also a helpful appendix of bad pick-up lines to avoid, and even a basic draft of the "It's not you, it's me" break-up letter, with appropriate modifiers to fit each relationship. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is a series that always contains loads of useful information from professionals in their field, and they are a lot of fun to read.

Before the days of "Laguna Beach", Gateley was the director of development at the Lifetime Channel and worked on the biography show "Intimate Portrait." "Power Girls" aired in March, 2005, and focused on a New York based public relations firm owned by Lizzi Grubman and her four interns. There were only six epi- sodes, but they made quite an impact and brought a lot of attention to the world of public relations. Laguna Beach aired in September of 2004 and was an instant hit. According to the nytimes.com, when Gateley pitched the show "Laguna Beach", she used the 1989 movie "Heathers" as her inspiration. When asked if it would be possible to find an alpha clique of friends and have them all be interesting and beautiful; Gateley responded, "They're a dime a dozen in Southern California; they're everywhere," according to the nytimes.com. The newest show that just debuted in March 2006 follows ten professional models living together in an apartment complex in the heart of South Beach as they make their way in the world of competitive modeling. "The Hills" is set to air this year in a spin off of "Laguna Beach," but only focuses on one character, Lauren "LC" Conrad, as she moves on with life to L.A where she goes to fashion school and interns for Teen Vogue. The shows claim to be reality, but the stories told are far from average. The shows have been criticized for being scripted, but according to Anwsers.com, the show is filmed with multiple cameras allowing the show to be edited as a traditional narrative rather than a documentary with confessionals, like seen in the "Real World". Liz Gateley was quoted saying on PerezHilton.com that "there are times when something big goes down the night before and we'll ask,'can you wait until the cameras are there to talk about it?"' They may be real people in somewhat real situations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a little help from editing to make for good T.V. Next time you're at home watching your favorite reality show, don't forget that there is a story to be told and the editors make it happen.

Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride HAS SLEVINS' LUCK RUN OUT? BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer "Lucky Number Slevin", directed by Paul McGuigan, is a new take on the classic theme of revenge, which has weaved its thread through the plot lines of numerous movies. Someone gets shot within minutes, of the opening scene, giving the audience a peek at the action, guns, and gore to follow. Bruce Willis plays an assassin named Mr. Goodkat and is a necessary evil in the lives of the unlawful abiding head honchos of the criminal underworld. Willis plays his usual unemotional tough guy character, firing one-liners throughout the movie. Trailers of the movie might lead some to believe that Willis plays the leading role in the movie, but the main character, named Slevin, is actually played by Josh Hartnett. Slevin bobs and weaves through a series of unlucky circumstances brought about by the two main criminal bosses in New York, who have mistaken his identity for that of his friend, Nick Fisher. The main bosses are The Boss, played by Morgan Freeman, and Shlomo, aka The Rabbi, played by Befi Kingsley. Unfortunately for Slevin, the bosses ddn't believe and don't care that he's not Nick. Slevin is forced to repay the financial debt Nick has incurred on the bosses' bookies' financial records. There is a surprise plot twist towards the end of the movie, which might be deemed predictable by some avid moviegoers. Slevin's self described "inability to worry" sometimes comes across the silver screen as arrogance. Hartnett fans may be swayed to watch the movie for pure visual enjoyment watching Hartnett traipse around New York in nothing but a towel for a good portion of the first half. The dialog was a bit forced, and it seemed like there was more than the necessary amount of incessant banter and cryptic dialog between characters. A weak attempt at romance is thrust into the storyline with the introduction of Lindsey played by Lucy Liu. Lindsey is quirky, but her child-like awe and acceptance of Slevin's ties to the criminal world is borderline irritating. There was no chemistry between Liu and Hartnett, so their characters looked forced into romance. The storyline jumps around from the past to the future and from here to there, so I don't recommend missing a scene to relieve your bladder unless you don't mind being discombobulated upon your return. Overall, "Lucky Number Slevin" is a visually stimulating movie for those who appreciate hitman induced murder scenes and for those who aren't looking for an emotional roller coaster ride.

X V NO. 12 Social Activist speaks out about civil rights Elections yield low voter turnout BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer BY J ENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer Students may have many opinions on how to improve their campus, yet it would seem that few acted on those opinions in this year's ASI Elections. The voter count for the 2006 Cal State San Marcos' ASI Elections was much lower than last year. The polls were open online for students to vote over the course of four days, f rom March 20-23, and yet the number of voters totaled to a mere 578, versus the approximate 1500 voters that participated in the 2005 ASI Elections. The process of voting has not changed f rom previous years, scheduled the week before Spring Break, as an online process. "I believe one of the contributing factors to the lower number of voters this year was the lack of a student referendum," said Heidi Doyle, current chair of ASI Elections. Jeremy Mills ran unopposed and won his position of Vice President of Legislative A ffairs with 376 votes. He and Doyle explain that last year there was an Athletic Fee referendum that was on the ballots coinciding with the ASI Elections. The President's office used the opportunity of the ASI Elections and asked that the referendum be placed on the ballot. According to Mills and Doyle, students who did not want a fee increase were more compelled to go online and vote. Another contributing factor to . the lower number of voters may have been the fact that there were more candidates running and campaigning for a position.last j year than there was this year. Ashley D unn ran unopposed, returning for her second term as the Vice President of Finance with 367 votes. Dunn believes the number of voters were low because "students as a whole don't vote." D unn recently attended CHESS (California Higher Education Student Summit) held in Dolores Huerta, social activist and labor leader, addressed social issues pertaining to immigration and civil rights to a packed-house on Tuesday, April 4. Applause turned to cheers as Huerta began her one-hour speech. Huerta, mother of 11 children, began social activism in the early 1960s, collaborating with key labor leader Cesar Chavez. Huerta discussed how past events are mirroring current policies relating to immigration and civil rights. Emphasizing the need for political activism, Huerta suggested that the immigration reform is being utilized as a distraction from the military occupation in Iraq. "We need to remind Congress that no terrorist came through Mexico," argued Huerta. "The only terrorists that have come into the United States have come in through Canada." "The fight is not over," said Huerta. "For the next month or so, maybe longer, we are going to need to be super diligent." Huerta explained how with foreign policies and trade agreements small farmers in Mexico are unable to compete with the market in the United States and are being exploited, causing large migration over the border. Highlig hting recent visits to Venezuela and Cuba, Huerta argued that the United States could learn a lot from these Central and South American nations in regards to f ree education, national healthcare system, literacy, and healthy race-relations. "In our society, we are taught Dolores Huerta speaks to students about social activism.

BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer The fourth annual ASI Early Learning Center Spring Fundraiser Fashion Show Dinner will take place on Friday, April 14, at 5 p.m. at the Clarke Field House. This year's theme is "Let's Play Dress Up." The children of the Early Learning Center will b e modeling the latest in adult fashions, keeping with the theme of "dress up."

"I hope students, staff, and faculty will take advantage of the opportunity to learn and appreciate a great variety of community and campus resources, as well as enjoy free food, giveaways, wellness presentations, and have a f un, information-filled experience." From Farewell, page 1 served as Associate Dean of Students for six years, as well. His efforts have forged stronger bonds of communication with the Student A ffairs office, the Student Life and Leadership office, the Residential Advisors, and the ASI student offices. But in just three days, Poullard will leave Cal State San Marcos for UC Berkeley, where he has accepted the position of Dean of Students. " I have watched talented people leave our campus," said President Karen Haynes. " I wish to t hank Jonathon for his continual advocacy for students, his clarity and intelligence, his honesty of views which are always expressed and for exhibiting the 'University F irst' vision. We congratulate h im and t hank him for Aamara Ysrael (far right) with her campaign team, before being elected Vice President of Communications. Photo courtesy of Aamara Ysrael From Elections, page 1 Sacramento, Calif. She learned that the age group of 18-25 is the lowest voting range. Dunn believes this applies to voting on any level, whether it is voting for school elections or voting on a national level. An interesting fact Dunn learned is that there are an estimated 490,000 students in the CSU school systems. "We have a lot of power that we are not aware of. If all 490,000 students got together and voted one way on a particular issue, imagine what that can do," said Dunn. " I always vote," said Logan Goolsby, a senior Psychology student. Goolsby was one of the 578 voters that actually took the time t o log online to cast their votes. " I don't think most students are interested in campus activities because most come to campus, go to class and then leave. It's a question of priorities," said Goolsby. In order to ensure a higher voter count for next year, Heidi Doyle is preparing to bring the issue of lower-voter turnout to the ASI Board and ask that the bylaws be changed. Currently, the bylaw states that ASI must post an advertisement about the ASI Elections in The Pride, along with 3 designated locations on campus two weeks before the election date. Instead of advertising just two weeks before the actual elections date, Doyle his service to Cal State San Marcos." During the Farewell Ceremony held at the Clarke Field House, many administrators, s taff, and students shared their praise, and loss, of Poullard as an influential entity on the campus. "We have sincere appreciation for all that [Jonathon Poullard] has done," said Tom Bennett, on behalf of Academic A ffairs. "[His] footprints are everywhere on this campus, so truly, [he] is never really leaving here." Yet, a common theme was expressed by many speakers during the controlled-mic farewells. Jonathon was more than j ust an employee of Cal State San Marcos; he was a f riend, a colleague, and a very spirited man. "Jonathon is an amazing person, and a would like to have, in addition to that, notices posted 2 weeks before applications are even available. Doyle had scheduled two speak-outs this year, versus only one that was held last year. A fter the first speak out this year, the number of voters went up tremendously. "At the beginning of the week, there was about 200 votes, after the speak-outs that were held on Wednesday and Thursday, the votes increased to the 578 that we have now," said Doyle. Tamira Jubber, a freshmen who ran unopposed and won the position of Director of Recruitment & Student Mobilization, would like to see promotion on the actual Cal State San Marcos webpage. "I want a huge link on the site," said Jubber. "Many students go onto the school's website daily to log into their e-mail accounts; it would j ust make more sense to have a link to the voting on there." This will be the task that Jubber will have to tackle next year in her new position. Mills hopes that next year's University Hour will increase student life and activities. University Hour is a two year pilot program where between the hours of noon and 1:00 p.m. there will be no classes scheduled. This allotted time will be reserved for scheduled activities, programs, events, and pos- sibly more office hours with professors. Aamara Ysrael was one of the few candidates r unning with an opponent; she won her position of Vice President of Communications with 303 votes. Ysrael's pink themed campaign was seen all over campus. " I chose not to make my campaigning look political; instead, everything was pink. Pink is my favorite color and I wanted people to see what I had in common with them through my campaigning before judging me if they were to see a red, white and blue political flyer or poster," explained Ysrael. Ysrael believes that there is always room for suggestions. She hope that more students will be involved and r un for positions for the 2007 ASI Elections. "When there are more students running, it pressures candidates to work harder against their opponents and in grabbing the attentions of students," said Ysrael. D unn's solution to obtaining a higher voter count next year is to educate students on the importance of voting. "ASI Elections is not a popularity contest. We are all here to serve you, the students. Our offices are open for you; we work for y ou!" said D unn.

"Think of the as Wheelchair Rugby, there are roughest game you've ever seen currently over 30 national teams in played, amp up the speed, and toss - the US, with more than 400 active it onto the basketball court." players. Murderball is among the sports played in the Paralympics, and it is played professionally in 19 different countries. Eligibility depends on a combination of upper and lower extremity impairment; however, most participants have some level of quadriplegia. Utilizing a basketball court layout, the teams pass a volleyball among four court players attempting to advance the ball over the marked goal-line. The sport combines elements from various sports, primarily rugby, with specific regulations on impairment classification. Murderball is not discriminatory about age or gender: men and women, as well as teens to older adults, are eligible to play. Turpin explained how media often portrays quadriplegics as fragile, or incapable of participating in such a dangerous, highenergy game. "After I started volunteering with wheelchair sports, I realized exactly how far off movies usually are," said Turpin. "Since Murderball (the independent film) came out last year, and it only played in independent theaters, not many people had the opportunity to see it. The connection was fresh in my mind. I suggested doing a screening and hosting a panel discussion because Murderball is so completely different from anything else out there about Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). I know that quads are far from fragile, but with the movie, everyone else does too." With the aid of a co-curricular grant, the Literature and Writing Department proudly sponsors the screening of Murderball. The event is f ree to the public, and f ree food will be served. "It's a great movie with serious action and competitive athletes," said Turpin. "It's about regular guys busting their butts to be the best in the world at what they do." mean they don't have any intelligence." Huerta's speech dabbled in all prevalent social issues, challenging racism and homophobia, promoting gender equality and economic fairness, and discussed the struggle of the new civil rights movement. Welcome to the new civil rights movement," exclaimed Huerta. "This will be a movement against racism and for economic rights. We need our money and our tax dollars to come back to us. Our schools are the soul of our nation, and when you have an education, your voice gets louder, not softer! We do have power, but we just need to exercise it and learn how to use it." In order to make changes, Huerta believes in active democracy and encouraging civil duties of voting, protesting, and lobbying the government. "About 50 percent of people are not voting. We've got to make it a top priority to go out and get voters to vote," said Huerta. "Imagine if we. got the other 50 percent out to vote, then we could change what's happening in Washington and change what's happening in Sacramento. But change isn't going to happen unless we do it. We need democracy in action." The rain did not deter over 200 people from gathering in Arts 240 on Tuesday to listen to Huerta speak on behalf of migrant workers, constitutional rights, and social priorities. In fact, many people were turned away from the auditorium. But those who were able to find a seat were inspired by Huerta. "I came to see her speak because she's a highly respected woman-activist in the Latin community," said Gaby Ruiz, senior Communication and Spanish student. "I also came because I wanted to learn more information about the movement." But the movement will not be easy, according to Huerta.

The vision of the Women's Center was shared by committee founders, Leah Avalez, Cheyenne Barr, Heidi Doyle, Sara Leonard, Lissa Lim, DiDi Lund, Sara Mead, and Lori Walkington. "I am proud of the complete support that we found in creating the Women's Center," said Cheyenne Barr, co-founder of the Women's Center. "We received support from every angle possible." The Women's Center was established to educate, advocate, and empower women and men by offering programming and a safe environment, according to the center's mission statement. The focus of the center is to improve conversations and relationships between various gender, ethnic, and sexual orientation groups on campus, increase awareness on issues that primarily affect women on campus, pursue equity for all women through support, programming, advocacy, and discussion, provide resources for women's intellectual, professional, and personal success, ajad serve as 3 ljftison f or students to existing campus services.

"Just as this new campus grows with each student that comes in and makes a difference, this center will change and mold to whomever comes in and says something. If someone says something is missing, we will listen to them, and we will bring it in. So, the students have complete power; this is a new center, and we invite all people from all situations to come and be a part of this dream." w ow SOLARIUMS * SUPER CLEAN * Smart Tan Certified 1 Exclusive anti-aging Mystic Solution (Tanning Beds or MYSTIC Tani * Our Mystic is not sticky & odor-free!

I �FEATURES w ^,;»,^ 5 I nternational Fair: f ood a nd d ance u nites c ultures T EM E Bf D BY P IYAMAS SABLAN P ride S taff Writer T here c ouldn't have b een a b etter t ime f or t he f ourth annual International Fair t han on the bright b eautiful Spring day that it did. O rganized by the University Global A ffair Committee, CSUSM w as p rivy to a m ajor cultural awakening. With about f ourteen d ifferent b ooths sprawled around University Hall Plaza, students c ouldn't help but b e in the m ix of Thursday's International Fair. According to Danielle M cMartin, the International Student Advisor, t en student organizations were represented and another six d epartment and c ampus groups set u p tables f or representation. Clubs, such as Persian, Japanese, Chinese, I ndian, Priority, E cuadorian, and G erman clubs, as well as SGI, E IE, A PSS, International P rograms, and T he Global Connection represented t hemselves t o the students at CSUSM. International Flags loaned f rom the United Nations of San Diego lined the stairs ascending f rom the first floor of University Hall t o the second as well as on the stairs leading t o the Mezzanine area. There were activities like karaoke, trivia games and fearfactoresque eating games. Taliah Chatterfield said of the fair, " I really enjoyed the K araoke by t he Filipino group, it was a lot of f un." N aturally there w as plenty of f ree f ood, a favorite way f or many to " immerse" themselves in culture. At least t hree tables h ad f ood f or students. Global Connections supplied orange chicken and cold p asta, the German Club had Polish hot dogs, A PSS had salad and chicken over rice, and other b ooths h ad cultural snacks. Large crowds of students visited each booth or stopped t o watch the m any activities and dances t aking place at the m akeshift wood stage, curious about t his event that only h appens in the Spring semester. " This event is i mportant f or several reasons," M cMartin said, "it b rings the campus together t o share t ime together and appreci- ate where we come f rom and to learn f rom each other about our cultural differences. Another big reason I t hink this Fair is successful is that our campus puts this Fair on. I m ean, most of the p erformers are f rom this campus and our campus community gets out and supports each other. We are a small enough campus to recognize a dancer or a singer and we hang out and support each other." Indeed, there did seem to b e an extra b uzz of excitement as students p erformed, while their f riends cheered t hem on f rom the sidelines. One woman single handedly entertained the whole crowd with her Irish dancing. Later she took some audience members u p on stage t o learn a f ew moves. A p erformance the crowd seemed to really enjoy was the A froCuban Salsa dancing. There were six people involved in the dance, coupled u p and dressed in black and white. In contrast t o the lack of color in the Salsa p erformance, the Indian dancers had enough colors t o shame a rainbow. The eight girls wore gold veils and dressed in vibrant colored f uchsias, blues, and multi-colored folk dresses as they formed a circle and spread their a rms on the m akeshift stage. Machelle Jordan, a student in the Indian dance class, said, "A lot [of the dance} is u p f or interpretation depending on where t hey're p erforming. The music is about worshipping god and the focus is on the facial and hand gestures because they tell a story." The Ecuadorian dancers also paid attention t o color, wearing black and brown long skirts, white shirts and shoes and a f uchsia flower on the right side of their heads. Close r unners u p in color richness were the contestants in t he origami fashion show. The A PSS club put on the fashion show, which consisted of students in bright colored paper shaped to appear as a kimono with detailed origami on the backside. Student A nne Skidmore exclaimed, " It's really cool how diverse the cultures were represented and how many student organizations were involved. It also was exciting how many people f rom the crowd got involved and dressed u p culturally. I c an't wait to go again next year." Along with the intricate apparel accompanying the events, the Traditional dancers entertain cultural organizations and passers bye. booth setPhoto by Jenny Nguyen/The Pride tings were equally brilliant.

It has been called daunting, scary, and horrific, maybe, but not enjoyable by any means. Yet, when you combine three extremely talerited ' performing artists, and an unexpected script, it can b e j ust t hat. "Fool for Love," written by Sam Shepard, is the capstone performance for Krystene Zehnder, Russ Ferguson, and Wig. Directed and produced by Russ and Wig, this three-person show presents the culmination of their hard work and education at San Marcos. The group read through about six plays before choosing this particular script. When asked why they chose this script over for Eddie." Her largely emotional any other, Russ said, "We j ust role gave her the opportunity to kept coming back to this one. We go against the grain of the stereowere drawn t o the idea of being typical weak female role. Russ Ferguson explains his trapped within your own percharacter Eddie as "Your typical sonal, mental state." " I kind of liked it because the j erk, but there is something liksubject matter is typically very able about him. He is j ust a typitaboo and offensive," added Wig, cal man that wants t o get what he "but the way it is presented is not wants." Proving that motivation can raunchy." A s described by the artists, "Fool for Love," is the same come f rom j ust about anywhere, love story: girl leaves boy, boy Wig says that " the inspiration for finds girl, and the love and hate me was the teal shirt." A quaint set, sparsely decosaga unfolds, but with a few very rated with a table, two chairs, and unexpected twists and t urns. Along with a controversial a bed, allowed the actors' work story, there are also charac- to shine through without disters strong enough to stand u p traction. The entire story takes to such a script. " Mae is a very place during one night in a dingy f ull character," stated Krystene, desert motel room. While the when asked about what drove scenery may not change, there her character. "Mae k nows who is a constant charge of emotion she is, but at the same time she exchanged between the actors cannot get away f rom her love and the audience. In order t o set their capstone apart f rom any other performance, the group decided t o include a very special technological aspect t o the show. "We had been toying with the idea of doing something multi-media before even electing a play," said the trio, who were enthusiastically supportive of their interactive choice. When asked about their experiences in the CSUSM VPA p rogram, the P erforming A rts m ajors looked back upon their education with gratitude. They appreciated the f act that the instructors at San Marcos knew students' strengths and know your weaknesses. They loved the program and felt that the intimate setting and supportive s taff set it apart f rom many other large campuses. By watching the p erformance these f riends brought together through the pro- gram, one could t ruly get a sense of the value they've placed on their education. W hen asked why the students at Cal State San Marcos would b e interested in coming to the student-directed show, Ferguson explained, " It's an intense play that explores many different subjects that people are usually too a fraid t o discuss." Showing support t o your fellow students, especially when it comes t o the recognition of their achievements here at CSUSM, can not only boost student moral, but also provide an otherwise unexplored cultural experience. The final showings of "Fool For L ove" will b e taking place in A rts 101 at 8pm. The cost is only $10 for general entry, and $5 f or students.

What qualities must he possess? Tall, dark and handsome, that's always nice, but what a boutius financial stability? It is widely believed that many women would love to have a rich man, and in an age of internet dating, one website claims to have an answer for all these supposed 'gold-diggers'. Wealthymen.com is supposed to be a site where women can find "professional men making $100k+ a year" and where men can "celebrate their success". The site claims to have "profiles of real men who have excelled greatly in their life, but are still seeking a partner to share their experiences with." All women can set up aJxee-proiile, but "only a select f ew men can [join, as each of our members are ¡ verified by a salary approval process." To see if this was the real deal or if they were just blowing smoke, I decided to experiment with the site. Through this mini-experiment, I found the site to be making untrue claims. First off, I, a female, signed up as a 31 year old male. The site requested to know my salary and f rom the drop down menu I chose $100,000. Contrary to the site's claim, the salary wa& not veri- . fied. In my profile I put that I was a lawyer living in La Jolla. The day a fter completing my profile I had requests f rom three female screen names, each one claiming what they could do for me, as well as asking for a visual image of me. I wanted to send each of them a message reading, "Haha fooled you! Beauty fades, dumb is forever," but that would have been mean, as well as ruin the "high caliber online dating experience" that wealthymen.com is supposed to offer. This does not prove that wealthy r men don't exist on the site, j ust that you never know what you're going to get. The experiment was not to bash wealthymen. com, but to remind everyone that you can't believe everything you see on the internet. Sarakasi African acrobats thrill a full house BY LISA LANDERS Pride Staff Writer Sarakasi, an authentic A frican circus, arrived at the CSUSM campus on Wednesday, April 5. The high energy show was scheduled to begin in the ARTS Building in room 111 at 6 pm, however, there was a delay in getting the show started, due to the large turnout. Program Coordinator David O rtiz said that for these types of performances they would like to see an auditorium that could accommodate at least 500 people. Currently, the ARTS Building holds about 140 seats. To accommodate the anticipated overcrowding, additional fold out chairs were brought in and placed around the borders of the actual stage. Many joked that they were going t o become a p art of the actual act due to being seated so closely to t he stage. I n addition, patrons were asked to double up if they h ad small children who could easily sit on a lap. Even though the amount of people who attended the show happened to be larger than seats available, the crowd w as still eager t o see t he performance. When talking to married couple Alan and Mar- garet Dolit, their enthusiasm was obvious. "We are excited to see tonight's p erformance because we went to last month's showing of Middle Eastern Music and we loved it." Asked how they found out about tonight's performance, they said, "We saw the write up in North County Times and it looked interesting." Margaret Dolit was quick to add, "We also liked the price." The price, in this case, was f ree and the show was open to anyone, even those with no connection t o CSUSM. The turnout reflected this, bringing families, students, senior citizens, and everything in between. The show featured seven men originally f rom A frica who could p erform acrobatics, fast pyramids, limbo, tumbling, contortion, ring jumping, double rope skipping and chair balancing. The hour long act was accompanied by authentic A frican beats and whistles, yells and claps by the men. One act involved chair balancing and was a p articular crowd favorite. Ever so slowly, the p erformer called "Little M onkey" built up anticipation by compiling eight wooden chairs towards the ceiling while doing handstands on top of each chair. A s he went up, he crossed about five hours a day, and ate his heart and mimicked praying only one meal a day to produce to engage the crowd, while doing such a performance. With regards this death-defying balancing act. to A frica, they cited forest aniWhen he reached the top the mals as inspiration.

They all grew up as neighbors in the same village, but referred to themselves as brothers. A standing ovation closed the p erformance, and Sarakasi d eserved n othing less.

For example, why does 50 cent still rap about having it rough, and why do people t hink Dane Cook is f unny? There is not much I would rather do less than discuss B arry Bonds, but for some reason I bought the book, "Game of Shadows" by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. I also watched the premier episode of "Bonds on B onds" on ESPN, and attended the Giants versus Padres game on April 5. It might be because I like to stay informed about things and people that I despise so I can say why they are idiots. T hat's probably the same reason why some of you read this. Imagine what its like right now to be B arry Lamar Bonds. He goes to work and 40,000 f ans boo him. He goes to the grocery store and the girl scouts selling cookies mockingly pretend to give each other shots. He passes by an old person's home and the residents o ffer to sell him their pills. I couldn't believe the atmosphere when I went to the Giants versus Padres game. There was a ton of Giants f ans in attendance and every single one was in support of Bonds. I don't know how you can condone his attitude, even if he is the best player on your team. The thing that bugs me most about sports is that they are not even reality anymore. Name another profession where you are allowed to p erform whenever you want, show up whenever you want, criticize your boss, yell at your co-workers without punishment, get paid 20 million and get cheered by your hometown. Bonds has won seven M VP awards, but one award he deserves is for the person who j ust doesn't get it. This guy makes Bill O'Reilly look like a reasonable person. Bonds is like most people in this world, he is a walking contradiction. He says and does different things when it suits his particular situation at the time. He wants the press to leave him alone, yet he is doing his own reality show. He wants his peers to recognize him as the best ball player ever, yet he treats everyone around him like crap. He is the first one in line at the bank to cash his 20 million, yet he says he isn't playing for the money. Apparently that's not enough money to knock some common sense or reality into him. If you are a professional athlete, common sense should tell you that if you inject yourself with steroids made for cattle, and overnight go from looking like Urkel to the Incredible Hulk, then there might be a small uproar among the public. Common sense should also tell you that your problems aren't going to go away by continuing to be volatile with everyone around you. Apparently, when you're on steroids your common sense is the second thing to shrink, right a fter your testicles. With all that said, I could care less if Bonds used steroids, because he isn't hurting me by using them. Also, cheating and performance enhancing has always been a p art of sports. I am not saying that I condone the use of illegal performance enhancers. I am j ust saying that you shouldn't condemn this generation, because cheating has always been a p art of sports. The older generation is always telling me about how baseball players in their generation were better than players f rom this generation because they didn't cheat. I always tell these old guys that they have lost their memory, because cheating was a p art of the game back then, too. Ball players in the early 1900's would take greenies for a boost right before a game. They would also use the spitball, as well as sand paper and glue on the ball. Performance enhancing can even be traced to 776 B.C. according to "Game of Shadows'', where it's stated that the Greeks ate sheep testicles because they thought it spiked testosterone levels. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and anabolic steroids are j ust a whole new level of cheating. Either way, I am still going to enjoy chanting HGH! HGH! while Giants f ans cheer MVP! MVP!

From Lady Cougars, page 1 "Our routine had to be 2 minutes long, and we were judged based on our technique, use of the stage, formations, character and overall performance," said Silva. Seven of the nine team members participated in the competition; however, the entire team had been working diligently for six months to perfect the routine. "All 9 of us had put a lot of time, commitment, and hard work into the routine which we learned in October over an intensive weekend dance camp," explained Silva. "All of us are very excited about our results. The goal for this team was to represent CSUSM in the best way possible and raise school spirit on campus. We also hope to get the word out that CSUSM has awesome club sports and teams." The Lady Cougars will be performing their routine at ASFs Crash Awards NighJ on April 26, in addition to a new performance.

Dave and Cathy had been engaged for 3 months and they decided it was high time to begin the arduous task of planning their wedding. Dave's parents initially objected to a non-Jewish bride for their son; however they reluctantly agreed to give their blessing provided that the couple was given a traditional Jewish wedding. Cathy's Parents on the other hand, had other plans! As devout Catholics, Cathy and her parents view marriage as one of the sacraments of the church. Not Surprisingly, they wanted the ceremony to be performed at St. Michaels. (The church where Cathy's parents were wed) Arguments ensued as both sides fought over how they wanted this wedding to be carried out. They fought over everything from location, to music and food. In fact, the only thing they agreed upon was that the marriage was to be legalized at the county courthouse (since it was close to where Dave lived), In this example, what is really being debated is the "ceremonial" aspect of marriage, while the legal aspect is pretty much a nonissue. Many people defend their view of how a wedding should be held with such passion because a wedding ceremony is based on cultural and religious traditions; two very personal subjects. Due to the cultural and religious diversity in the United States it is no surprise then that heated wedding debates often arise. How- ever, the inherent legal aspects of marriage are not typically questioned. The average couple who decides to "get married" will have the ceremony however they see fit and then register with the state to legalize the marriage with all benefits and responsibilities that a marriage will include. It is possible to be legally married without a ceremony (think Vegas). Similarly, it is possible to haVe a million dollar wedding ceremony and not be legally registered if the paperwork has not yet been completed. What I would like to impress upon the reader is that "ceremonial marriage" and "civil marriage" are distinct. Think of one as a "union of the h eart" and the other as a "union of the wallet". What many people take for granted is that there are a lot of implied marriage rights; rights that married couples have, rights that a single person may not have. For example: joint adoption rights, military pay structure, hospital visitation rights, citizenship, joint taxation, inheritance rights, legal title to a home, privacy rights, insurance rights . . . just to name a few. The list goes on and on. These things all occur "automatically" as a result of a "civil marriage". We as a species tend to have monogamous relationships and the civil institution of marriage accommodates for that behavior. Since couples who childrearing responsibilities, and ownership to their home and such, it makes perfect sense that we create a system that streamlines the legal implications of this "joint-lifestyle". If couples had to register jointly for each individual right that marriage currently gives it would be a needless bureaucratic nightmare. So rather than have each couple apply independently for the same 4000 or so rights, we roll it all into a package deal that we call "marriage". The bureaucratic "nightmare" described above is exactly what gay couples have to face when applying for "joint-lifestyle" rights. Since legal marriage does not currently allow gay men and women to wed they must apply for each right separately, and some rights are flat out denied. Civil unions and domestic partnerships attempt to resolve this disparity, but these legal contracts fall painfully short of marriage. To f urther compound the problem, each state has different domestic partnership, civil union standards, so a Californian domestic partnership may not be honored equally in Texas. When gays say they want marriage equality, what they are saying is that they want to have the same 4000+ rights available to them that heterosexual couples currently have. They want to have a federally supported legal system that recognizes their families as Gays can legally hold ceremonies celebrating their love and commitment for each other, but none of these ceremonies are recognized by the state, even if performed by a clergy member. Religious freedom is one of the things that make America such a wonderful nation. It has been part of our society since its inception. This freedom has allowed many people of differing faiths to live together under one government. This freedom is also supported by the concept of separation of church and state; meaning that the government will not (and should not) federally endorse one religion over another. Currently there are many religions that condemn homosexual relationships, however there are also many that accept and support homosexual relationships. The government has no place denying civil liberties and rights based on a religious belief that homosexuality is wrong. To do so is a violation of church and state. If the government is to give truly equal rights to all its citizens, this must include the rights of gays and lesbians to marry the person of their choice, regardless of gender. This does not mean that people must abandon their personal religious convictions and embrace homosexuality themselves. It simply means that people must respect our differences and acknowledge that all members of society are l ive together w ill share i ncome, equal t o heterosexual f amilies. d eserving o f equal rights regard- Letter to the Editor: ASI, a disservice to this Campus I do not appreciate reading in the latest edition of "The Pride" that ASI was among the participating organizations that brought to fruition the mock wedding of several gay couples on campus this past Monday. While it has always been quite apparent that the inclinations of Associated Students, Inc. has been rather liberal, following the yen of more democratic among us, I think it. safe to say that it was assumed that, being a representative governing body designed to equip the campus for the betterment of "all" students, engaginjgin political events that are clearly polarizing and partisan would be at all costs avoided. Instead, ASI threw itself into the arms of catastrophe Monday by joining PAN and LGBTA in the public dissolution of the biblical institution of marriage, which has been and must continue to be the sacred and completely sanctioned legal relationship between one women and one man. While I am sure that the majority of the Cal State San Marcos community was not as distraught over the malefaction attended even by faculty members, I have talked with several rather liberal classmates who, although they agree with the right of homosexuals to enter into marriage, were rather uncomfortable with ASI's involvement with the matter, thinking it was better left untouched. I am very concerned about the message this malfeasance sends not only to students on this campus, but to the adjacent community as well. The implications of a "mock" homosexual wedding are . enormous, indicating that only the sentiments of opinions of the more liberal of our gentle, college community will be tolerated and supported by the administration (which, however fallacious it may be, is include ASI). Granted, the majority of college students are quite " freethinking" and "tolerant", but I doubt a demonstration celebrating the sanctity of biblical marriage would have garnished as much—if any—support f rom the CSUSM administration or ASI. It appears that we as a campus are only concern about the offending of minorities or liberal-minded populations, and swift to censor the voices of the more conservative—however scarce they may be. Lee Joseph Mitchell less of gender, faith, or sexual orientation. Now imagine for a moment that gay "civil marriage" were legal. How radically transformed would the American society truly be? For the heterosexual population really nothing would change. The divorce rate would still be around 50%. The major religions would still have the same attendance. The economy wouldn't really be affected either. Children in existing families would still have the same parents. Also, all the social problems we face will still be present. In fact, the only really noticeable difference would b e for the homosexual people that have been in a relationship for years. From their perspective a great freedom that was previously denied would now be legal. Finally they can go down to the county courthouse and register their union with everybody else, with all the joys, pains, and responsibilities that are included. Finally their committed and loving relationship would b e equal with other marriages in our country! I believe that both gay and heterosexual people can live together in a nation that recognizes both unions. For gay people in America to truly have equal rights to life, liberty, and happiness, we must be given federally endorsed equal civil marriage rights.

Though I had nothing to base any expectations on, I was t errified at what I might find. My fears, however, were cancelled! What?! After finishing my last midterm on March 23, my husband met me with the bad news. I was in shock the whole way home! I was already packed to leave that weekend for our honeymoon in the Caribbean, and now, because someone didn't discard their cigarette properly, our cruise ship and my honeymoon had been ruined . .. or so I thought. As it was spring break most everything was booked, but after staying up all night searching on the internet we finally found a cruise line that had a couple rooms l eft for more than half off.

There we took a f erry to Paradise Island and spent the day exploring the Atlantis Resort and Casino. It was astonishing, like Las Vegas on a little island. If you're in the market for jewelry then this is the plaqe to shop. The prices are a steal and it's all legit; real jewels, gold and silver.

Stranded in the town of Taft: My time in a boom BY DAVID BAUER Special to The Pride My first experience with a resident f rom Taft would provide an accurate prediction for the rest of my stay there. I had been driving up to visit my parents, who were temporarily staying in the town of Taft, when my car broke down. The tow truck operator's name was "Eddie." He was a polite and simple man, and had no bottom teeth. On the thirty mile drive into Taft he excitedly told me about the town's big upcoming event: the demolition derby. He also received three incoming calls on the ride, one of which was a car that had driven into a house, another to haul a stolen car that had been torched. I wondered if it was typical for him to receive this amount of business on a Sunday night in a town of 6,500 residents. I also wondered why a man whose j ob involves cars that are destroyed would be so excited about watching cars get destroyed. In hindsight, a fter actually staying in Taft, I completely understand. In 1909, the Southern Pacific company laid out the town-site and somewhat prophetically named it "Moron." A year later it was renamed " Taft" when the town was incorporated. Built in an oil rich area of California, 40 miles southwest of Bakersfield, it produced millions of barrels of oil in its time. The Lakeview Gusher alone produced 9,000,000 barrels of oil, the largest ever in the world. It was even the setting of the 1986 small town football film "The Best of Times," but the town has clearly seen better times. A s the oil production slowed, and the middle class relocated as local companies were bought out, Taft . u ^ j j g l quickly became a boom gone bust. The downtown area, with two and three story brick façades crumbling, is now a shell of its former self. Years ago the town built a skate park and BMX track for kids to use for free, but now struggles to keep their one theater open. Its award winning schools, which were built completely by donations and local taxes in the 1930s and 40s, are also beginning to decay badly. The paint has peeled, and boarded windows do not look as if they will be replaced any time soon. The town's junior college is even less fortunate. The same college that had been able to afford a world class football program to win the 1984 national championship is now unable to get enough f unds to prevent it from literally sinking into the ground. The oil rich soil was so heavily drilled between boat ride to the island of Virgin Gorda. We spent the day climbing boulders, exploring the town gone bust. the early 1900s and the mid 1980s that the a roped-off parking lot with three cars land under the city is 'dropping' in some in it (which I was informed comprised a areas, giving many of the town's buildings local auto-dealership), and a grocery store a noticeable tilt.

Maundy Thursday, known to Catholics as Holy Thursday, is the Thursday before E aster. It is believed that the last supper would have occurred on this day and is observed through various acts of cleaning, such as foot washing, a ritual for the apostles in preparation for their meal with Christ. Good Friday I s a day of remembrance of Christ's crucifixion, celebrated by Christians with special church services and vigils. Catholicism calls for observance of this day through a reliving of the day through a reading of psalms, gospels, and hymns about Christ's death. Eastern Catholics meet to pray three times during the day, once during "forenoon," to pray the Royal Hours appointed for that day; in the afternoon, the Vespers of Holy Friday; and in the evening, the Matins of Holy Saturday. Holy Saturday is the day before Easter and is often referred to as Easter Even. In the Catholic church, holy sacraments are limited on this day and penance is only granted to those considered to be in dire need. Dusk marks the beginning of Easter and is touched off by an Easter Vigil celebration. In the non-religious sense, Easter has been observed through our culture as the decorating of Easter eggs on Saturday night and a hunt for these same eggs on Sunday morning, where many small childrenfindbaskets filled with treats and g ifts said to have been delivered overnight by the Easter Bunny. The history of colored eggs at Easter time emerges from the L o o k Four The airy upplement ¿ÉlSîî sir * Catholic observance of Lent which forbids the consumption of eggs, providing for an overabundance of eggs d uring this time. It is said that German Protestant_s__ wanted t o_ introduce children to the ritual of Easter and adopted eggpainting as a favored alternative to fasting. The notion of the egglaying hare was introduced by German immigrants in New England who told of the "osterhase." Hase is the German term for rabbit, and it was said that only good children received gifts from the osterhase in their caps and bonnets (which had been turned into "nests" prior to Easter). It was assumed that the osterhase had laid the eggs there while the children were asleep or not looking. Regardless of faith or popular belief* Easter should be observed in whatever means the observer deems necessary, either through religious piety or popular tradition. Enjoy and partake in this day as yet another r eminder of the beauty of spring. w cram A « WÊÊÊÈÊÊSÊÊÊÊÊÊ �Intimate Apparel' One Size fits All p erformed cast tells t he s tory of a 35 y ear old s eamstress w ho lacks love f or so m any y ears, finds love, a nd t hen l earns that San Diego R epertory T heatre self love and e mpowerment are (at the Lyceum in H orton Plaza) t he way t o h appiness.

B IERSCH MÄRZEN BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer If you are a lover of good beer, then you are probably familiar with the products of Gordon Biersch; if not, then you are missing out on some of the finest beer available in California. Located strictly to a handful of western states, a nd espec i a 11 y California, Gordon Biersch has risen in leaps and bounds during its shorttime on the market. Among the most notable of Biersch beers is their amber-colored Marzen. Easily the most popular of Gordon Biersch beers, the story goes, according to its website, that Marzen is originally based off a recipe from Bavaria. During its first days of being brewed, Marzen was brewed in early spring and then stored in cool caves so it could be enjoyed throughout the summer, with whatever was left over being consumed at once in October. While the process is not quite the identical for this American version of Marzen, its and clean tasting mediumcolored beer, good in warm weather, and especially at night after dinner. Gordon Biersch also put out several lighter beers of notable quality, such a their pilsner, as well as a few seasonal brews. Perhaps chief among their limited seasonal beers is the Gordon Biersch Winter Bock, which compares in color and texture to Guinness Draught, yet with a much different and lighter flavor. Gordon Biersch beers, as well as Photo by Antoinette Johnson / The Pride most enjoyable properties remain the same. Pouring thinly, Marzen has a malty and slightly sweet flavor to it, with some flavors reminiscent of a darker beer, yet with the body of a light beer. Overall, Marzen is a smooth M arzen, can be found at many local stores, as well as off tap at Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurants throughout California. For more information on Marzen and the beers of Gordon Biersch, visit gordonbiersch.com Get c ultured w ith ATI! BY RACHELL REYES Pride Staff Writer Oh no. Not another rapper turned actor. Fortunately, this movie is not about Tip Harris (also known as T.I. for hip-hop fans). In Chris Robinson's directorial debut, "ATL" brings a whole new meaning to southern hospitality. For anyone who hasn't been outside of San Diego, there's a whole new life outside the borders of California. In the same way Eminem brought Detroit to the big screens, Harris shows the audience what Atlanta, Georgia is really like. Since Harris was born and bred in Atlanta, it's no surprise that he could play Rashad. However, Harris doesn't play himself. As the 17 year old Rashad, Harris's character is far more complex than the typical ghetto boy. He's like any other person out there who just wants to get out of his deadbeat life. He doesn't dream big, but he definitely has bigger plans for him and his brother, Anton (played by Evan Ross Naess). This movie was not marketed correctly. The trailers made Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers "ATL" look like another drug dealing and gangster movie. But that's where the prejudice has to end. Had I not been asked to watch this movie for a review, I would have never given it a chance. "ATL" is a whole new culture. This movie has so much going on that there is no single plot. It's about an older brother who looks after a younger brother. It's about four friends in the last year of their high school. It's about the working class and the upper class. It's about a boy who meets a girl. It's about a roller skating crew against another roller skating crew. It's about one drug deal to another drug deal. The list can go on. In 100 minutes, "ATL" should have given you the feel of Atlanta. The direction of the movie is a whole new story. Robinson, a former music video director, definitely was experimenting with his filming techniques. Many of his shots made the movie feel like an extended music video, and that's a good thing. The variety of shots and takes makes Robinson look like a veteran behind the camera. With exceptions to some of the stereotypical characters in the movie, it's about time there's a positive role model. Keith David plays John Garnett. Garnett is a multimillionaire who didn't earn his money through drugs and pimping. Garnett made h is money t he right way, through hard work and education. It's refreshing to see a powerful minority with optimistic aspects to the character. The movie serves as not another highlight of the stereotype, but rather a stepping stone for the basis of learning about Atlanta. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XV NO. 11 TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 2006 Springtime Wedding Event Ceremony emphasizes equal rights BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Five mock couples participated in a Spring Wedding Ceremony to emphasize and promote inclusiveness and marriage equality for samesex partners on Monday, April 3. The demonstration, which was jointly coordinated by six student organizations, including LGBTA, ASI, PAN, Triota, the Women's Studies Student Association, and Amnesty International, received some resistance from the College Republican club, but was otherwise well-attended and supported. "It's the same commitment in marriage, same-sex or not," said Rev. Ned White, who performed the mock ceremony. "We want to show in reference that love equals love, equals love, and that in essence, it's all the same thing," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. To express marriage equality, the mock ceremony featured one heterosexual WEDDING, SEE page 3 The union of students Albert Genegaling and Omar Yanez was met with applause Photo by Patrick B.

"Our campus has a wonderful group of international students here with us each year," said Danielle McMartin, international student advisor. "We celebrate their cultures with this International Fair." Students and guests will have the opportunity to sample free international food, enjoy international performances and demonstrations, and learn about a variety of cultures. Students and staff are welcome to taste international foods, such as a German bratwurst, Japanese udon noodles, an Italian pasta salad, Chinese orange chicken and Native American fry bread.

"The Alumni Association wanted to host this event as a service to the voters of the 50th District," said Jack Burke, director of government affairs for the Cal State San Marcos Alumni Association. "We believe that the voters should have the opportunity to hear the candidate's views, and the candidates have the opportunity to discuss their views and share their views with you, the voter." FAIR, SEE page 3 The forum highlighted five congressional priorities, including immigration policy, military involvement in Iraq, an ethics reform in Congress, relocation of Lindbergh Field airport to Miramar, and the issue of raising the ceiling of the national debt. Moderated by Kent Davy, editor of the North County Times newspaper, the extensive 14 candidate participation limited the potential for a thorough debate-style format. Due to the vast number of candidates, the event featured a more forumstyle format, with many speakers scrambling to adhere to the strict 90 minute response time per question.

The fourth annual "In Your DEBATE, SEE page 3 Face Event" demonstration, organized and sponsored by Triota, the Women's Studies Honor Society, along with Women Studies Student Association and Amnesty International, served to bring light to issues of violence against women.

"If you nominate someone, he or she will be recognized. No one is better than the other. There is no top nominee," said Lund. There is no panel of judges deciding who wins what because "every person nominated has touched at least/one person's life and deserves to be honored," said Cheyenne Barr, coordinator of Women's HER-story month and co-founder of the ASI Women's Center. Nomination forms are available in the ASI Women's Center, (located in Commons 201), ASI Front Office (Commons 207), Student Life & Leadership Multicultural Programs (Craven Hall 4110). The nomination forms are also available to be printed out online at www.csusm.edu/sll/ nominatinoform.pdf. "Students from all areas of the campus are welcome; you don't have to be a literature student to attend. In fact, a lot of the most interesting writers I know were never formally literature students," said Wallace. While Myers had a rewarding writing experience at CSUSM, Graham had a different college experience. Graham did not major in creative writing or literature. Just as Wallace had mentioned about writers that were not formal literature students, Graham developed her writing from critical and analytical writing. "Anything that I write is based on my desire to understand the world and investigate unfamiliar or difficult experiences, feelings and ideas," said Graham. Wallace encourages students who are writers or are thinking about becoming writers to attend the event and learn from these two talented readers. "I think that literary readings are always important because they make clear that artistic possibilities for writers in America are alive and well, even if no one on TV would ever tell you so," said Wallace. Wallace has been hosting readings for over a dozen years now. He is currently developing the Community and World Literary Series and this poetry event will be thefirstof many events for the program. He also hopes to build a community of writers on the campus. "The poetry is going to be more interesting than anything I have to say about it," said Wallace. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the Clarke's Grand Salon. Students who are interested in getting involved with the Women's Center should pick up an application to apply for one of the four job openings at the Women's Center. Applications are due Friday, April 7, and can be found in Commons 207. Both Lund and Barr could name several dozen people to each nominate for recognition. To name a few, Alina Sheikh, Lori Walkington, and Lissa Lim are some of the volunteers in the Women's Center who came highly recommended by Lund and Barr. They are not part of ASI and do not get paid or receive any type of credit for their involvement, making them eligible for the award. "They have all hit the ground running," said Barr. "They have not had any formal training or background in campus leadership, and yet have become dedicated, passionate advocates." "They are quick blossoming flowers," said Lund. "They have gotten involved and have bloomed instantly." For Lissa Lim, her passion for Women Studies started with her boyfriend. "He took Women Studies 101 and would always talk about the issues they discuss in class." This sparked Lim's interest enough to take the course herself. The class exposed her to issues she felt so strongly about that she had to get involved and do something to make a difference. Those nominated will receive a certificate of recognition at the Women's Studies Commencement Celebration. Because this is the first year of doing this, Barr anticipates that it can only get better. Barr explained, "In just one year, we've got the Women's Center. Imagine what it's going to be like next year!" i Scholarship Opportunity: Tuture Teacher Summer Institute ^ H i u b B&GriUefl hmmhwI^hH W ^ ^ I ^ I ^ É ^ M p P ^ Cou- The College of Education is pleased to announce it is accepting applications from interested undergraduates who wish to participate in the Future Teacher Summer Institute.

Fourteen of the 18 candidates vying for former Randy "Duke" Cunningham's congressional seat participated in the event, including Republicans Brian Bilbray, Bill Boyer, Richard Earnest, Bill Hauf, Delecia Holt, Howard Kaloogian, Jeff Newsome, Victor Ramirez, Eric Roach, and . Alan Uke; and Democrat candidates Francine Busby and Chris Young; Independent William Griffith, and Libertarian Paul King. "I am pleased that our Alumni Association has stepped forward to partner with us in the way of providing the forum, and an opportunity for all of us to hear from individuals with an interest in serving us in Congress," said President Karen Haynes. "I want to thank all of you in our audience for coming to listen, to evaluate, and to question how our democracy works. We are all a part of that process this evening." The 50th Congressional District voters will have the opportunity to select the next representative in the April 11 Special Election. The chosen candidate will serve the six months remaining of Cunningham's term, and be required to re-campaign in June. If no candidate wins a majority vote, a runoff election will be postponed for June 6, and coincide with the scheduled primary election date for the next two-year term. Here are some of the highlights representing the candidates on specific views: Immigration Policies "A smart-fence isn't going to fix the issue.

Having performed on campuses such as UCLA, University of Washington, UC Santa Cruz and Arizona, CSUSM finally got its chance to experience the hype. A small crowd gathered on the stairs to watch the four young L.A. women (Valerie Hernandez, Xela Marias, Patty Rodriguez and Cessy Urbina) present slam poetry-like musical pieces with their own flavor. Combining instruments from different cultures, like the African drum known as the djimbe base, and Mexica (ma-sheek-a) drums and clay flutes, the women produced a savory sound to accompany their melodic voices. Aside from the sweet sound the foursome exerts, their main purpose is to make an activist stance through the music. "We [as human beings] need to stop displacing ourselves [and be able] to communicate. Why not bring everyone together like BSU and MECHA and the other culture clubs out there? We should bring together the different subcultures," Patty Rodriguez and Valerie Hernandez said about some of the important messages brought up in their bilingual pieces. Intrigued by their appearance in the Mezzanine Plaza, CSUSM student Yolie Rios got her first taste of the 'urban indigenous group' (as they refer to themselves). "I'm really into human equality and against racism, and I appreciate how they're not using cuss words to get across their message. These women are more than what I expected them to be, whether we examine their performance or lyrics." Indeed, Cihuatl Tonali tried their best to give a memorable performance. In between musical pieces, Patty Rodriguez dressed in a huipil (a traditional woman's garment, hand embroidered, usually reserved for ceremonial use, and easy to find anywhere in the western hemisphere), to encourage the audience to "remember where your fruit and veggies came from." Originally, the group was scheduled to start at 12:45 pm, but even with the late start and a few technical difficulties, they still recruited a lot of loyal audience members. One interested passerby, Julie Young, sat down and watched the half hour event, doing her best to understand all the lyrics as the "Cihuatl Tonali": Valerie Hernandez, Xela Macias, Patty Rodriguez and C essy Urbina present slam poetry Photo by Katrena Robinson / The Pride women sometimes ¡alternated between English and Spanish. "[They] mostly had good messages about being who you are . .. not conforming to what everyone else in society thinks you should. Everyone should have his or her own culture and be able to get along with those outside of his or her culture." The only complaint Julie had with the group was the term 'white devil' which were in the lyrics to one of their songs and something Julie picked up on. She said that they seemed to be "holding some of the past against us . .. although we're not our ancestors, there might still be hate." Many in the crowd maintained a sense of curiosity, and after the performance was over some audience members approached the group for questions or pictures. A particularly unique element to this group is its capricious for- I N YOUR FACE, from page 1 FAMILY DENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

Some stories were read by the survivor herself and others were, read to show the depth of others experience. Each story was read in intervals of six minutes to illustrate the statistical documented fact that every six minutes a woman is raped. Providing a dreary visual, a fter each story was read, the speaker removed her purple t-shirt, with the words "every six minutes" written across the front, and hung it on what appeared to be a clothes hanger. The shirts represented a visual to incorporate the reality of violence against women. This number, however, of "every six minutes" is only in relation to the women that report the rape, taking into account that many incidents of rape are unreported. mulation. The next time Cihuatl Tonali performs there may not be the same amount of members, the same faces or the same instruments, all of which are subject to change, even as their message remains political. Currently working on a CD to further exemplify their talents, students who missed the event can check them out at www. myspace.com/cihuatltonali. According to the Women's Resource Center, "many victims feel embarrassed and/or guilty about what happened to them and may be reluctant to tell anyone because they fear they will be blamed for the rape or may not even be believed." One such story was shared by student Sarah Leonard, reading about her personal experience of violence and rape. "You never do get over it," said Leonard. Unfortunately, Leonard's story isn't uncommon. The event demonstration also offered resources and information available to the public.

Bast went on to say that, "the lack of ash trays around school entrances, where they used to be, has become a fire waiting to happen. Smokers don't want to litter or flick their butts into the bushes, but we no longer have an option of where to dispose of them. Ms. Frasca mentioned that she will bring up the possibility of putting ashtrays near entrances for the sole purpose of disposal, as well as other possible changes, when the program is reviewed on June 30. She did explain, however, that the problem with putting ashtrays in front of entrances is that it "gives people the impression they can smoke there." When asked about violations and complaints, Frasca said she was expecting a "big backlash from smokers" but that it hasn't happened. She says she has had a "very good relationship" with the Photo by David Gatley / The Pride smokers she has dealt with. As far as non-smoker complaints, she has received, "virtually no written complaints and less than a handful of verbal complaints." When asked if smokers should take more action and file more complaints to change what could seem the first steps toward a complete smoking ban, Frasca said that, "if anything, the campus is heading towards the ambitions of student groups like Cough, who were very instrumental in getting the Chancellor and Presidents offices to actively limit smoking." As a public University with an obligation to facilitate respect between both smokers and nonsmokers, the question remains a matter of how personal freedoms and health regulations will affect the whole. The filing of both violation reports and recommendations to amend or add designated smoking areas may be done in writing through the Risk Management & Safety department.

On Campus: Professional writer lecture BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer San Diego Union Tribune theater critic Anne Marie Welsh lectured to students and staff on the variety of careers connecting writing with the arts. Topics covered included critiquing performances, conducting interviews and the challenges all writers must face. This event, part of the CSUSM Arts & Lectures series, took place on March 20, at 10 am, in Arts 111. "Part of my job is to encourage theaters to stretch themselves," said Ms. Welsh. While over the years she has met and befriended many people in the arts, she still strives to write accurate and honest critiques. During the lecture, she shared some of her recent articles. Though writing mostly about performances in the San Diego area, her work has also led her to cover events in New York and San Francisco. Her coverage ranges from ballet and musical theater to art exhibits and operas, spotlighting both profes- sional and renowned artists along with high school and college level work. Not only did Ms. Welsh explain the content of each article, she also gave back stories on just what went into assembling them. Apparently, writing quality pieces on artistic performances requires a lot of prep work by the writer. This involves meeting the various people involved in the production. Depending on the event she covers, she could be getting the bulk of her information from the performers or the stage crew. During the lecture, Ms. Welsh informed audience members of some interesting journalistic jargon. Sunday "thumbsuckers" refer to articles that are entertaining, engaging and fun to read. A piece that is "art heavy" means most of the page(s) arefilledwith pictures; It is an article that relies heavily on visual elements. A "decoding" article seeks to inform readers as to why something is a work of art. It is not a review. Rather, it uses a critic's opinion to get readers to think about art in different ways. "[I want to] let the audience know how important art positively impacts the community," says Ms. Welsh about her journalistic responsibility. Hearing her describe in great detail all the efforts devoted to each story, Ms. Welsh's passion for her work was obvious. According to the Women's International Center's website, Ms. Welsh is trained in ballet and modern dance, and holds a PhD in English literature from the University of Rochester. She has taught college courses on poetry, writing and drama and is a visiting lecturer at UCSD. Ms. Welsh has also written for daily newspapers in Washington D.C., Denver and Baltimore. Besides earning various awards, she is also an advocate for women in theater and liberal support for the arts. In regards to this event's significance for CSUSM students, Professor Merryl Goldberg offers some insight. As Chair of the Arts and Lectures Committee, Professor Goldberg was interested in having Ms. Welsh lecture partly because of a recent feature she wrote on arts education. "I think events like this one open up a whole new world of possibilities to students - both in revealing potential careers - and also in giving tremendous insight into arts," said Professor Goldberg. "A wonderful aspect of Arts and Lectures is that it truly brings in folks that otherwise would not be on campus. This is a true benefit for our students." Del Dios Bar & Grill After discussing student feedback with Professor Goldberg, it was evident that the event was a success. She expressed that her students (who attended the event) "really enjoyed her [Ms. Welsh]" and were impressed by the amount of background research put into her reviews, such as the complete reading of plays before the performance. Many students, according to Professor Goldberg, were surprised that "this could be a real job." For more information on the Arts & Lectures series visit: csusm.edu/ arts lecture/A&L/calendar.html.

Some made a point of speaking with the stern-faced policemen, expressing gladness that, unlike previous events in decades past and years recent, the police presence was open and seemed more interested in keeping the peace than corralling the 'peaceniks.' One officer exchanged memories of San Francisco while others mentioned in passing that they liked to make their presence known in any large gathering of people, regardless of potential tension between opposing camps.

Really, you have to narrow everything down to what's most likely to occur. Last year at this time I predicted a San Diego Padres versus Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim World Series. That clearly didn't happen in the playoffs since the Padres were pecked into submission by the Cardinals and the Angels stunk it up against the White Sox. There are always several teams that you can count out before opening day. The Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins basically just show up to 162 games for the food spread after the game. Then there are teams that compete the first half of the season and then fall off the table after the all-star break.

They also have added Roy Oswalt. Clemens is now some right handed power bats in gone and their star players, Mike Piazza and Vinny Castilla Women's G olf team heads to NAIA Regional Championships that really suit Petco Park. In the American League East, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have new competition in the Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox have lost the heart of their team in Johnny Damon and have way too much turmoil with guys like David Wells and Manny Ramirez. The Yankees seem to always win this division and it won't be any different this season. I do like the Blue Jays to come out with the wild card because they have improved significantly with guys like Troy Glaus, A.J. Burnett, Lyle Overbay, Bengie Molina and B.J. Ryan. In the A.L. Central, the White Sox are the reigning World Champions and are a favorite to repeat, but I really like the Cleveland Indians. The Indians almost overtook the White Sox last season but fell apart in the final three games. The White Sox added a huge bat in Jim Thome, but he hasn't been healthy recently and they traded reliable Aaron Rowand for him. It is very difficult to play two consecutive seasons without having injuries affect your team's season. The White Sox were injury f ree last season which means they can't avoid it forever. The Indians have talented young players like Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore, Jhonny Peralta, Andy Marte and Victor Martinez who will help the Indians shock the Sox. In the A.L. West, the Oakland Athletics are the trendy pick because they are always competitors, but their only big additions are two volatile players in Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley. I like the Angels because they are basically the same team that I chose last season to make the World Series, and mind you they were the only team to beat the White Sox in the playoffs last season. Eight teams now remain including the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, and Padres in the N.L. and the Yankees, Blue Jays, Indians, and Angels in the A.L. The Padres will be the weakest Division winner and the Braves hardly ever do anything in the playoffs so I foresee Cardinals versus Cubs in the National League Championship. The Blue Jays and Indians are good teams but they don't mesh as well as the Yankees and Angels who practically have no holes in their teams. I am really stepping out on a limb this season, saying that the Cubs and Angels will make the World Series. The past two champions were teams that lifted "curses" so why can't the Cubs be the third straight team to do so? Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. PALOMAR COLLEGE vnigfarSucc*»JÊ?

This couldn't be further from the truth. Having been to Magic Mountain and Disneyland a million times, and still wanting to escape from San Diego, Knott's Berry Farm seemed the perfect alternative. Knott's is situated in downtown Buena Park, amid other attractions such as the Waxland Museum and Medieval Times. San Diego county residents only have to travel about an hour and a half (less for North County residents) to enjoy what Knott's has to offer. In fact, the drive is half the fun. Cruising Interstate five, you can point out landmarks such as the Del Mar fairgrounds in Del Mar, Camp Pendleton Marine Base, which stretches from Oceanside to San Clemente, and "The Dolly Partons," aka the San Onofre Nuclear Plant, which gets its nickname because the two buildings resemble two large breasts. There are also beaches along the way that provide nice rest spots. Those who are still young at heart may choose to play A the road trip game, "Slug Bug," old school though f m it may be, one would be r ^ m surprised at how many L f l bugs (VW Beetles) are L ^K still on the road today. V V The drive time is also provides an opportunity to con- M verse with fellow passengers, • the fruit of fun at because in the age of cell phones and Myspace, people hardly ever get to enjoy a genuine conversation in person. No matter what you choose to do to pass the drive time, be sure to drive c arefully, because we noticed many a highway patrol car out on the prowl. In no time, your party will be driving down Beach Blvd, passing Po' Folks restaurant, Waxland and arriving at Knott's Berry Farm. Parking at Knott's is reasonable, costing only $9 for an all day pass. There is ample parking, and even the further spots are not too far from the entrance. The admission lines are not bad either, but if you're eligible for discounted tickets, such as military or union members, then it is suggested to purchase tickets before your arrival at the park. Adult tickets at the door are $39.95 and kids (11 and under) are $14.95, whereas military and their families can get tickets for $26, and union members (such as UCFW) can purchase tickets for about $24. Nonetheless, once you pass through the turnstiles you're thrust into an environment right out of the old west (old California), when Native Americans, Aztecs and Mexicans ran California. The park is sectioned off into area? such as the Indian Trails, Fiesta Village, Ghost ^f^sr^. Town and Camp MHPSgfl^.

The best thing about Knott's is that it offers far more than rides, There is the California Marketplace, where there is a fudge shop (yummy), Berry Market, which features Knott's world famous preserves, Carnation Ice cream parlor, and Snoopy headquarters, which sells all thé merchandise a Snoopy lover could want. In Ghost Town, there's a knife and gun shop (how cool), Ghost Town jail, where you can talk to Sad Eye Joe and hear his tales of woe, and many restaurants such as Ghost Town Grub, Fireman's BBQ and Chow House. Guests can catch a show at Charles M. Schultz theatre or watch Native Americ a n an d Aztec performers prese n t s o n s a nc £ * dances from their rich culture. When the Native Americans perform you can hear them all over the park, but if you happen to be in line at the Silver Bullet you can see the show. If you're a drinker, alcoholic you're a hot dog lover you'll have to try the "Viva Revolucion" dog ($4.95) at The Fiesta Dog stand. The "viva revolucion" dog comes piled with cheese, jaiapenos, onions, tomatoes and chili. It's delicious. If that sounds too spicy, it can be ordered "weak" and the jaiapenos and onions will be withheld. Also, don't leave without trying a hot, delicious funnel cake ($4.95/plain). Although dining at the park is very reasonable, if you still choose to eat out of the park, the delicious Fat Burger is right next door and Po' Folks restaurant is less than two minutes away. Po' Folks offers whole and hearty meals for Po' folks (like us college students). Next time you're seeking thrills and entertainment, consider Knott's. It's budget friendly (unlike its competitors) and just as f un as any other amusement park, just don't expect to be there all night, it closes at 6:00pm during this season. �Isis: An interview with an up and coming metal band BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer ISIS came about in the late 90s as the only other band besides the often inconceivable Neurosis and still untouchable Tool to make 'Metal' that was not simply beautiful, but often entirely hypnotic. As much as songs averaging on the plus side of seven minutes get relegated to 'background music,' there's many a moment when I find myself staring slack jawed at the stereo with a drawnout 'wooow.' Their latest major release, "Panopticon" includes collaboration with Tool's Justin Chancellor and all the sublime coordination fans have come to expect from these five amazing artisans. This CD is highly recommended as a first as their vocal delivery takes some getting used to for those used to seeking singing. Don't let this intimidate, though. Even with little openness to distorted guitars, ISIS belongs in the collection of those with a conscious relationship to their music. The Pride recently had the fortune to secure an email exchange with electrician and guitarist BC Meyer, who will be appearing with the rest of ISIS on April 6, at the Casbah. See casbahmusic.com and sgnl05.eom/# for details. Pride: Is time, that is, longer song-time a necessity to the ISIS sound? Does the band generally prefer 'longer' songs or does the music they find demand it? Meyer: Yeah, I think a little of all that, but honestly that is just the way the songs have always ended up... I suppose it makes sense when you look at our influences, though - Pink Floyd, Neurosis, Swans, all these bands were more interested in making pieces of music rather than a 3 minute song, not really considering the length at all. I also hope we as a band have improved in making the longer parts more interesting, not just repeating the same bit over and over. P: Do fans like to enjoy ISIS intimately, head to the PA, or do many prefer to sit back and let the performance spread over them? M: We like to think the audience is intimately involved; however, sometimes they are probably just bored. We do have a lot of people come up after shows and tell us how they could kind of get a little lost in the music, maybe stirred up some kind of emotion, which means quite a bit to us.. .we are playing a couple of DIY type shows next week, I don't even think there will be a PA there... P: Is it often you hear fans saying that they like you, but not most other 'heavy' bands. Has playing with certain types of bands yielded better crowd reactions? M: Yeah, obviously we've had a better reception with the Melvins or Mogwai than Cradle of Filth or Napalm Death ... at this point the fan base of the majority of the bands we play with are not so narrow-minded and accept most interesting music for at least being interesting. P: With a few albums under their belt now, is the band differently self-conscious or confident in its decisions? members work a lot from private time with their own instruments? What of guest appearances? M: Both. A lot of both, and a lot ofjust 2 of us getting together, or 4 of us... with the newest bunch of songs the parts we would originally come up with were very basic, very open for lots of tangents and input and output. They have been the most fun to write so far, can't wait to get into the studio and record some of this stuff. With regard to the guest appearancejs, Ayal and Maria came in and recorded a bunch of the Oceanic songs at practice and sort of figured out different parts where they might be appropriate for their contribution, and with Justin he actually came in to practice and jammed with us a couple times then really just had an afternoon at the studio and came up with some great stuff. We have yet to decide on what will happen with the next record. P: Is the band happy where they are now? Do they hope to b e in a different creative and professional place in the near future? M: Honestly, we couldn't be happier, we have worked really hard over the past 7 years or whatever, and it's nice to have it pay off, not really financially of course, but music-wise, we all feel much more confident as individuals and as 5 songwriters. We've got some big tours hopefully coming up and a bit more money to spend on this next record, and none of us are starving or smoking crack down by the river so we can't complain. M: Decisions?

Every year, at about this time, students from all over the United Sates catch Spring Fever. They get lazy, lose focus and motivation, dreaming of the summer that seems so far away. It takes conscious work to keep chugging down the track, but a few simple tricks will help keep you focused. It all begins with goals. You Over the last several years, I've developed some tricks to staying motivated at a time when I most want to slack off.

Setting these goals can help you determine what to focus your energy on. And hopefully, right now your education is one of your top priorities. Goals can be as simple as completing the reading for your classes. After you have identified your goals the next step is to keep track of them. One great way to keep motivated is to create checklist or agendas. The trick is to be very specific with the list, for example, if you are dreading your final project break it down into many small É 0* Try to refrain from getting distracted. Staying motivated is not easy when your favorite shows are on, or when your friends want to come over to party. If you establish those distractions as rewards, and stick with your plan, then you will have avoided procrastination. Motivation is a choice and a behavior. You have to train yourself to be motivated. Some people are more gifted with self-motivation. With practice everyone is capable of being motivated. If you take action and make the choice to organize, prioritize, act and reward yourself, then you , will accomplish what needs to be done. It's lame, but I gotta say it: you need to have a 'can-do attitude'. Just keep telling your self, "I can do it there is only six week left" and, after a while, self-motivation will be second nature.

The more things you write down, the more things you can see check off and see accomplished. This way after you have worked for three hours, you won't feel like you haven't done anything. This process of checking off may be kind of neurotic, but it will give you a since of satisfaction, and you will see how much you do accomplish. It is important to reward your self whenever you reach a goal or accomplish a task. Identify a reward system in writing at the same time you identify your goals.

Chappelle's career began in 1993 with a small part in the movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights, as the character Ahchoo. Since 1993, Chappelle has appeared in over 20 movies, standup comedy specials such as HBO's "Killing Them Softly" or "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth", a hit TV series "Chappelle's Show", and in recent news has co-produced the musical documentary Dave Chappelle's Block Party. The film was directed by Michel Gondry and produced by Dave Chappelle. Block Party is not a movie but more of Chappelle's dream concert starring many musical artists such as Kanye West, Mos Def, Common, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, The Fugees, and many more. This film is overlooked by many; in fact, its release date was March 3 ,2006, and still has gone unseen by many people. As I sat in the theater, I noticed a great deal of people walking out of the movie. Some of the audience did not expect this movie was a musical performance with bits here and there of sketch comedy. I am curious as to what people expected from a movie titled "Block Party". The film Comedy Central scripted Dave Chappelle. This is Dave in the raw; being as honest and truthful These artists perform a more underground hip-hop genre. You will not be hearing songs from Photo courtesy of Rogue Pictures comical at times. Watching this film, you get a chance to see Dave Chappelle being REAL. This is not your ing his mind and telling it like it is. By seeing this movie it opens your eyes in musical awareness. being played on the radio because of the controversy their political messages mean. Many people became con- fused about why Dave Chappelle left the United States to go live in Africa. This is subject that is not quite clear to this day. My perspective is that it became too much too fast for Dave. He lost control of what he really wanted to put out into the media. So the Block Party was in a way for Dave to get control back in his life. The movie production began in 2004; he got what he wanted to do, which was collaborating and producing his dream concert. Then afterwards is when he decided to take his "Spiritual Retreat" to Africa. When watching this film, it reminded me of watching the behind the scenes bonus features on the TV. series "Chappelle's Show". In almost every episode, Dave hosts a musical presentation towards the end of the comedic sketches featuring, for example, John Mayer, Wyclef Jon, Mos Def, and Big Boi. They are just hanging out, making good music that you do not hear everyday in a low key tone. This film is a great representation of Dave Chappelle trying to clear his name to what he is really about. I suggest people go see this film and keep an open mind. The music is great, and there are funny comical sketches intertwined throughout the whole piece. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Nothing is more annoying when talking to people about beer, than when you come across someone who refuses to drink a given beer because it is too dark, or, as is often the case, too light in color.

Just don't expect that to be the case for long. This young up-and-coming star, who actually is only 17, is turning heads everywhere and it's not just the long dark hair and piercing blue eyes that are getting him attention and plenty of media exposure nationwide. It has to do with that voice, that soulful voice that your preconceived notions tell you should come from an older, and far more seasoned, performer. It definitely is not the voice you'dO expected from someone who can't even vote yet, and definitely not the voice you'd expect to come from a teenage heartthrob that can credit some of his early exposure to the MTV reality show, "Miss Seventeen". So what is all the hype really about here? Teddy Geiger should just be disregarded, branded with the label of another pre-packaged, overly produced and styl- UNDEUAÌE „ i Twaiwti Photo courtesy of Sony Records ized fixture for the teen scene, right? Well, not exactly. While it is obvious those young fans will be part of Geiger's audience, his young John Mayer-esque appeal both aesthetically and musically is sure to gain him a great deal of fans in that coveted 18-24 demographic. The multi-talented Geiger, (born with the given name of John Theodore Geiger II) has much more to offer than those baby blues with his mix of rock and pop. Aside from his brief stunt on the recently cancelled CBS sitcom "Love Monkey" (which has since been picked up by VH1) Geiger can also give himself props for playing the uncommon role of a self-taught musician and composer, since grade school. It was in those early days, and perhaps some musical genes, that helped to foster a budding young star. Geiger clearly pulls influences from the likes of Dashboard Confessional, Something Corporate, Jason Mraz, Ben Folds, and of course, Mr. John Mayer himself, to craft a sound that is all his own, age-appropriate lyrically, but with a voice and melodies of an older soul. The upstate New York native marked March 21st with the release his debut disc, appropriately titled "Underage Thinking" with the record proudly toting his certified gold single, "For You I Will (Confidence)." If you haven't caught wind of the tune yet, don't sweat it. You can see Geiger, beginning April 11th in "Love Monkey" on VH1 and sample his debut on iTunes or in stores everywhere. And don't be surprised when in the near future you find yourself inadvertently singing along to your new favorite teen heartthrob. "\V for Wceirìicdlcette" V a l i n e s V e r a c i t y BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer s There's been a reoccurring hesitation when they ask me about this one, often broken first by a played-up sigh, then another pause for laughter, followed by 'it was pretty good . .. for a blockbuster' often further followed by 'it's obvious why Alan Moore didn't want his name on it.' Hollywood seems to have at last discovered, as anyone past or near to puberty in the early 90s should have already, that at least 20% of comics contain some of the most inspired, moving, and utterly brilliant human works. Compare this with an average of 10% for music, and 5% for television, and it boggles the mind why the medium often seems to play second banana to mere games. One author in particular, Alan Moore, is both revered and reviled for insisting that comics tackle not only the profound bridge between language and image, but all the big questions people associate more with spiritual aristocrats than social outcasts. His work of historical fiction "From Hell," though also missing his name, was slightly more than watchable. "League of Extraordinary Gentleman," however, wasted every single penny of the millions it took. Needless to say, even before reading the source material (now readily available in graphic novel form), I was nervous. After reading up to the last chapter, I was petrified, though still running to the theater, rather like a child eager to see something that will give him night-terrors. How on earth are they going to do this? And not just any faceless indentured script-doctor, the Wachowski brothers? You remember the matrix trilogy, right? (What's that? You also enjoyed the sequals ten times more with the dialog muted?) And even though, compared to novels, using comics as scripts naturally simplifies visual adaptation, V for Vendetta, as Alan Moore admits, was a product of its time. The 80s, specifically. Margaret Thatcher, precisely. Furthermore, (and forgive me Mr. Moore, for I adore you) the original dialogue would have been hammy even for the pre-television days, even for mysterious superhuman vigilantes, even for comics. It's common for future turmoil stories to be set in the near future, but even if he didn't expect to see, by 1998, a Britain taken by fascism after narrowly surviving a global holocaust, he also clearly didn't expect the internet, or CD players for that matter. Don't take this as an exception to the 'buy everything with Alan Moore's name on it' rule, only as a small license to use the original as a primary source rather Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers than an absolute guide. The Wachowski brothers are not yet entirely forgiven for the failed potential of the Matrix trilogy, but if Mr. Moore were about to pull the switch on the both of them, I'd insist he reconsider ... once, maybe twice. There are no truly bad actors, no overblown surfer dudes, no latest sex-its better suited to talking about their pets and fake IDs than the spiritual implications of fascism. There are a number of bad dialogue decisions, but no truly 'bad dialogue'. The future landscape is believable, but not nearly as bleakly moving as an R rating would have allowed, and a truer adaptation would have demanded. Indeed, it begs the question why an early teen can't see something with little blood, no nudity, and few expletives. Perhaps there's a questionable role-model committee afoot. The "V" of film is decidedly more a sympathetic eccentric than a darkly untouchable enigma, though a ham-sensitive or other critical sense is most likely to notice his superhuman luck, both with the future's security systems and the public's receptiveness to his message. This latter point magnifies the relative lack of character development outside V's immediate sphere, another disappointing decision on the adaptors' part. The spectacles are impressive, but comparatively few when placed next to the average blockbuster; a breath of fresh air for some, a sigh for others. Those less than eager to see another cliched pyro-masturbatory mess smeared with one-liners have little to fear on the whole, as the humor, like the blood, is blunt, but human. Anyone living outside a cave will pick up the political themes, mercifully planted in rows rather than poured in waves. How bold or brazen the script is with regards to this factor will naturally depend on who you ask. Hesitant audiences warned away from something 'too political' need only ask 'for who' and decide for themselves. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The evening held much more than expected, as Campus police had to be called to the scene. The event began with a brief introduction by Fredi Avalos. "Faiz has literally risked her safety to be here tonight, because she felt her message was so urgent for the American people to hear." Faiz Al-Araji began her presentation with a description ofhow she is "now able to see Iraq from the eyes of Americans, from watching your television." She explains that she understands what is presented to Americans through the media, and she understands this, clothes and furniture." Al-Araji asks, "What about the people who are dying? If you want to be ignorant and lazy, then take the American media as it is, but if you look for the truth you will find it." Al-Araji notes, "It will be hard."

She explains that "Americans tried to get the Shiite people to fight the Sunni because of their relations with Saddam." With a look of pride, Al-Araji then tells of how the Sunni people would not join the Americans. Her demeanor changed again to a serious, yet sympathetic tone as she described the situation as an attempt by the American administration to "send a message about the Ba'athist ... that they are monsters, and (that) the world needs to be rid of them." According to Al-Araji, Saddam's revenge killings, that occurred are also a result of this. "It's the administration that is pushing Iraq towards civil war by separating the country by ethnicity t o..." she explained with some English help from the audience, "control, divide and conquer." Americans seek to "change the structure of Iraq by letting the people group by race, and it has ruined their society by dividing them." Al-Araji then accuses the Americans of "building a false foundation," for the Iraqi government so that "it will later fall apart." "The US Administration is no longer interested in just oil; all of this is to build huge military bases in order to stay in Iraq forever."

"I'm expecting a big performance aspeèt with a lot ofhumor," said Franklin. "One of our goals is to encourage reflection on the issue of gender," said LGBTA advisor, Anne René Elsbree.

There's usually one in every class, maybe even two or three. There are some all over campus. They may be individuals, groups, organizations, and they are sometimes even invisible. They are the people and the organizations that make a difference and deserve a pat on the back and a thank you. "This is a night where we have the opportunity to recognize and acknowledge student leaders and student groups, rewarding them for all of their efforts," says Sara Gallegos, coordinator of Student Activities for the ASI. This is Gallegos' second year organizing the awards night. The Crash Awards, formally known as The Student Leadership Awards, was renamed to "jazz it up a bit, and incorporate our newly named mascot and to promote campus pride," said Gallegos. She hopes this event will give everyone something to be proud of about Cal State San Marcos. All students, staff and faculty are eligible to pick up an application to nominate student groups, individuals, events or organizations from this academic year. Applications can be obtained in the ASI Business Office located in Commons 207, the Student Life & Leadership Office in Craven 4116, or on the ASI website at www. csusm.edu/asi. All applications for nomination are due to the ASI Business Office by Friday, April 14, no later than 5 p.m. The ceremony will start at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday April 26 and is free for all members of Student Radio on campus See Sports PAGE 5 more power to them." Drag performers, Regina Styles and Kairo Reed, entertained audiences with six solo-lip-sync performances, including provocative dancemoves and engaging interactions with attendees.

If you can't capture an audience, there's no point doing drag." Photo by Natasha Heckendorn the University community and $5 for guests not affiliated with CSUSM. Attendees can expect a pasta dinner with performances from student dance groups and a highlight video made by student Garvin Ha. The evening will be hosted by Masters of Ceremonies Farshad Farzad and Elizabeth Sheets, members of the ASI Programming Board. Last year's attendance was estimated at about two hundred people. This year, Gallegos hopes to draw in a crowd of at least two hundred and fifty people. "Last year, we had a dessert buffet," said Gallegos, with hopes that thé pasta dinner may bring in larger numbers. In the past, recipients of the Crash Awards have received desk awards, trophies, andplaques. This year, Gallegos plans on awarding the recipients with plaques.

When the topic of Saddam was addressed more directly, Al-Araji, inastraightforwardmanner, stated, "Who cares about Saddam? He is the past, Iraqis want to talk about the future. Saddam is just a way for the media to confuse the issue of Iraq." Later, Al-Araji describes the fall of Saddam as "trading one thief for thousands." Looking into the origins of the "gangs and mobs" Al-Arji talked about roaming the streets, her own description was given on her 6/26/04 blog: "All of us are in doubt that these are Iraqis ... The poor Iraqis stole furniture, refrigerators, and coolers ... but they wouldn't burn the Ministries, nor rob the National Museum... these are the acts of organized gangs who came from abroad ... awaiting the chance to strike ... People are saying that many mercenaries entered the country with the Americans ... mercenaries from many nationalities." Al-Araji's mood escalated as the evening progressed, often reaching emotional heights that some could have viewed as hysteria, or associated with mass-media representations of the an Anti-American rally. Al-Araji, however, describes herself as on a mission that is "in her heart, burning and dying, like her heart," and describes the poor situation in Iraqi where "the people are dying from lack of food, where there is no water, or electricity, and the unsafe streets are filled with gangs who roam lawless and free, despite the presence of occupation forces." Al-Araji continued to emphasize the "mess" made by the media's emphasis on ethnic unrest, stating repeatedly that the "Iraqis are all one people united under one enemy, the Americans," and observing how "no one has ever asked about my ethnicity before the war, now it is all you here from people." As the time came for questions, NEWS most in the audience expressed praise and gratitude to Al-Araji's for coming to CSUSM. Asking how, with a withdrawal of all Western aid and troops, she saw the future of Iraq, Al-Araji cut the question off, yelling that she has "never seen any aid on the streets and that even the U.N. and UNICEF work against the Iraqi people." Soon laughing, Al-Araji talked about a meeting with UNICEF at the UN in Jordan, and mocks the meeting, explaining what was said to her, "We don't have any programs for Iraqi women now, but maybe you can help us institute a training course." Al-Araji continued to laugh. Rephrasing the question into how she saw Iraq getting rebuilt with a complete withdraw of western influences, Al-Araji erupted into a diatribe on how "Iraq was one of the richest nations in the Middle East. Now we have to pay millions in compensation for war to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran, so they can live their fancy lives ... don't ask me about rebuilding, because we will." Again, more calmly, she was asked, "Ok, my question was where you foresee the future of Iraq going, now that you are all united as one people, how do you plan to rebuild? Al-Araji, again yelling, said that "education in Iraq has always been free, women have always had the right to choose their husband, drive cars and work and travel freety. The Bush Administration claims to have liberated the Iraqi women. What have they done? You tell me?" After an angry exchange on conditions for women in Iraq, AlAraji explained, "Yes, there are educated patriots who can rebuild Iraq, but they need to let Iraq choose its own leaders and withdraw all the troops." When asked about the elections that took place in Iraq, whether those were Iraq's chosen Iraqi leaders, she answered, "Yes, I was happy that it was arightfirststep, but the American ambassador THE PRIDE interfered with his finger in the new government and ruined the future of Iraq. Up till now we still have no government." One might understand this resentment of the current Iraqi government, as she explained in the presentation how her son was detained by the new Interior Ministry, her blog describing him as a journalist for a magazine title translated as 'Conflict.' Al-Araji explained how she "paid a ministry official thousands to get her son released," and immediately fled to the country of Jordan. The air of hostility arose when attendant Nadia Keilani, not a student, but was seen leaving with Al-Araji, began loudly insulting a student who identified herself as Jordanian and argued with AlAraji over the nature of the military presence. The Jordanian student promptly left the room in tears as the rest of the attendants began shouting over each other. Campus police were called to the scene and Keilani was soon asked to accompany Campus police out of the room. Keilani's, only comment on the issue was that "we came here to hear Faiz, not for all this." In the aftermath, student, Kym Mckinzie, reflected that "It's understandable, the animosity she has. They think we support the actions of the administration just because they were elected." Of the event, Mckinzie says she was "Thrilled she (Al-Araji) was willing to come tell her story to a potential unwelcoming crowd." As to the shouting, Alaina Despars, student and friend of the Jordanian Student, stated that, "it's A+substitutes, aids, and S UBS P reschool t eachers.

With the crowd dispersing, AlAraji responded to a suggestion that she might have come across somewhat harsh to American audiences, and might not be received well because of it. "I am this way because I want the troops to pull out, to save you from getting killed and to save Iraqis." When asked what she meant by 'killing us,' she replied, "because Iraqis are targeting and killing Americans." As to media reports of Al-Queda and other foreign : insurgents fighting allied troops, she responded with a look of strength and pride. "Yes, in the beginning, maybe there were foreigners fighting the Americans, but now it is all Iraqi patriots, united as one,fightingand killing the Americans wherever they can.

CLIMB's purpose is to "train and teach students how to be better leaders and mentors" said senior and Alpha Kappa Psi representative Mary Miller. CLIMB offers these breakfast seminars on leadership every spring semester. Past topics have included Women's Leadership and Shared Leadership. Miller wishes to inform the campus that "these seminars are free and open to all students and faculty," and that she highly recommends them to both. Patrick J. Kuhse, International Speaker, Trainer and Consultant on Business Ethics, was the guest speaker for this seminar, bringing his presentation, "Prominence to Prison: Why Leaders Can Do Dumb Things". He shared lessons learned in his journey from being a successful stockbroker in San Diego, to his involvement in a financial fraud scheme. Students, faculty, and community members came to the seminar for many different reasons. Keisuke Manabe, Business major, came hoping "to learn the relations between boss and subordinate." Senior Mike Tompkins attended because, "Dr. Kholes mentioned that it would be an informative discussion on ethics." Community member Dr. Rick Brydges, of the Arc Leadership Group, was invited to the seminar by a few CSUSM faculty members that he met at the Kravitz Institute. Dr. Brydges expressed a great deal of gladness for deciding to attend the event. Before her giving her enthusiastic introduction of Mr. Kuhse, Dr. Raj Pillai offered thanks to those who helped make the seminar possible. Alpha Kappa Psi President Karen Haynes, and Gretchen Sampson were among those proud contributors. When Kuhse got up to speak, he said, "I am not here to teach you business ethics, but to teach you ethics in general." He then went on to explain how unethical behavior led him to become an international fugitive for four years to avoid criminal prosecution. His story taught us the "Eight Critical Thinking Errors" that lead to unethical behavior. First mentioned was "Entitlement," or believing that you deserve something for nothing. Also listed were "Super Optimism," thinking that you're better than From CRASH, page 1 The process which determines the recipient of an award includes an award selection committee that is comprised of six staff members, predetermined by Gallegos. "Most [committee members] work handin-hand with the organizations," said Gallegos. After the committee reviews each application, it ranks them within each category and then makes a solid decision. The Crash Award categories include: The Cougar Wall ofFame, which was the 1 individual award that was ever offered at The Crash Awards night. The Cougar Wall of Fame is for Seniors only. There is a running plaque housed in the Clarke Field House's trophy case. Other award categories include: Outstanding Freshman Student, Outstanding Sophomore Student, Outstanding Junior Student, Student Advisor of the Year, Best Campus Organization of the Year, Student Organization Member of the Year, Campus Organization Member of the Year, Best New or Revived Student Organization, Best Student Organization of the Year, Outstanding Collaborative Event between two or more Campuses or Student Organizations, and the Most Outstanding Program Sponsored by a Campus or Student Organization. st everybody else, and "Seemingly Un-important Decisions," using Martha Stewart as an example. "Rationalizing," was mentioned alongside "Victim-it is," where those caught play the role of the victim. "Affection Disconnection," an important one to avoid, in which those we love start to drift as unethical behavior makes a person feel detached. "Lazy," speaks for itself, while "Situational Ethics," speak all too often when people pick and choose which set of ethics will serve them. If these terms weren't enough, he even offered a bonus critical thinking error: PIG, which is an acronym for "Personal Instant Gratification". Kuhse urges college students to "question things. It's a great vehicle to keep yourself out of trouble now and in the future." He also adds that, "loved ones are the victims of our unethical behavior." Following the seminar, a few attendees offered what they thought of Kuhse's presentation. Dr. Brydges confirmed, "The more we know about ethics in business and life, the better, because ethics are a fundamental key part of work, but difficult to address." Freshman Christina Ahmadpour found the event " helpful... I do have ethical values and now I am confident that I can stick to them," while sophomore Jan Peters said, "I learned from his mistakes. I realize that to be successful you have to make ethical choices." Others, like freshman Sarah Anderson, learned from Kuhse that, "money doesn't define wealth." Senior Paul Kennedy even fook Kuhse's advice to 'question things' right on the spot, asking about the speaker, "How much did we pay him?"

While most people were warm in their homes, Ana, Katrena and their instructor Lisa Bengtson were working up a sweat, pushing their fitness limits and sharpen- 1 L/A1 ing their coordination as the rain poured down outside. Bengtson's original plan was to have the class outside, but the ground was still wet from last night's rain and dark clouds hung threateningly low in the sky. "I had to improvise because of the rain," said Bengtson as she moved the drill equipment into the gymnasium. The rain came pouring down halfway through the class, tapping on the roof and echoing through the gym, adding percussion to the dance music playing over the speakers. While waiting for class to start, I asked Muslin what motivated her to come out Saturday morning for boot camp. "I want to look good for spring break," said Muslin, who is a senior at Cal State San Marcos. Like a lot of women, Muslin was motivated by a certain swimsuit. "Spring break is in two weeks and I'm going to Florida." For Muslin, fitness is just a part of life and she works out regularly not only to look good, but also to stay healthy. "I try to work out three times a week, but as a biology major, it's hard to find the time," says Muslin. Boot Camp is a somewhat misleading title for what the class actually was. The style of the class resembled boot camp drills, but Bengtson's instruction was nothing like that of a sergeant. She was an encouraging and energetic coach, and the girls responded well to her teaching methods. Even though Muslin and Robinson were clearly no strangers to strenuous exercise, Bengtson managed to put together a challenging workout that combined a variety of techniques including palates and yoga. "I'm not sore now, but I'm sure I will be by tomorrow," said Muslin after class.

"Now is the time to generate interest. Classes create a motivating environment and teach exercises that people can incorporate into their own work out," said Bengtson, who is also the fitness and wellness coordinator at Cal State San Marcos. "Now is the time to learn how to exercise safely and effectively. It's not about doing 500 sit ups; it's about having a quality work out that you enjoy. It's about progressing slowly so that you stay with it. My goal is to provide a variety of fitness activities for all levels."

She is available Monday thru Friday and sometimes on Saturdays for any fitness or wellness concerns. She can help students put together a fitness schedule, learn how to work out a certain muscle group or answer any other fitness related questions. "If I don't know the answer, I'd be more than happy to help you find it," added Bengtson. F AMILY D ENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

Being a sports freak, I jump around from the Scott & BR show on 1090AM to Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio to Jim Rome, and for a little variety, I tune into Howard Stern on Sirius Radio. Everybody has a favorite show that they listen to, but wouldn't it be awesome if your favorite show came from a CSUSM student-operated radio station? Well, I am trying my best to make that a reality. Right now I am leading a group that is researching the possibility of creating a radio station for the campus. This is an idea that has been talked about on this campus for some time now, but nothing has been done thus far. Last semester I was sitting in class when my buddy Blake Brewer asked the question, "Why don't we have a campus radio station?" My answer was that this campus is still so new that there are still a lot of things that need to be established. In recent years, CSUSM has expanded enormously. When I started here in Fall 2003, the library was a little hole in the wall located in Craven Hall because the Kellogg Libaray wasn't completed. Also, a big pile of dirt stood in place of where Markstein Hall is now located. The development that makes me the happiest, of course, is that before Dr. Stephen Nichols became athletic director, I never thought I would be able to attend a CSUSM college baseball, softball, or soccer game, but next school year I will. Those things clearly didn't just happen over night. It took a long process and I am sure this radio station project will also take some time. That is the problem that I am facing. The individuals involved in this project are all graduating within a year. My fear is that this project will die once the five of us graduate and all of the work that we have done will go by the wasyside. With that said, if there are any motivated first-year or secondyear students that are interested in participating in this project-, don't hesitate to e-mail me at sando026@csusm.edu, or stop me on campus because even if I can'tfinishthis project, I want to see it get done. Imagine what a campus radio station could do for CSUSM. Take, for example, what "The Pride" has done for the students. This paper has given the students a voice regarding a wide array of topics. It has also provided opportunity for many of the writers. Former Ombudsman and editor-in-chief, Michael Dolan, now works for the local newspaper, "Today's Local News", in San Marcos. Myself, I have been writing for the "San Diego Union-Tribune" for over two years now. Some of my buddies in the radio industry got their start at college radio stations. The new host of Jammin' Z90's morning show, Chino, got his start at Palomar College. Tre, another host at Z90, got his start at Cal State Northridge. Also, my buddy DJ Todd E. Todd from Z90 started at KCR, the SDSU radio station. A radio station would also help out other departments on campus. Imagine our sports teams having an outlet by which games could be broadcasted, or imagine campus events being recognized all around the world. The campus got notoriety during the Michael Moore situation a while back, but how often do you find yourself explaining that there is a CSU campus in North County, San Diego? I must stress the fact that I am not looking for people who want to be on air. That time will come, but there is still a ton of research that needs to be done and then implementation of that research. Two weeks ago I met with Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, and I think he hit the nail on the head regarding this project. He says that this university provides opportunity for those that want to build and create something. Once again, e-mail me at sando026@csusm.edu if you are interested in making this dream a reality. Who knows, maybe the next Jim Rome or Howard Stern is a CSUSM student. BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM Surf Team's A Team fought its way to a 7th place finish last Friday, March 10, at the NSSA State Championships at Churches State Beach in San Clemente, earning them a spot to compete in the coveted National Championships in June. Cold rain and wind beat down hard on the contest site Friday, making the conditions nearly impossible to deal with. The NSSA College Season, already plagued with poor surf this year, was forced to run the contest. The previous event scheduled last month for Santa Barbara's Campus Point had been called off due to poor surfing conditions. With zero swell in the water, the line-up looked fit for a waterskiing competition. While the State Championship at least had something to ride, the stormy conditions made it tough for surfers to find decent waves to ride. Unlike most sports where the playingfieldis even, with surfing, better waves offer the opportunity for higher points. Few good waves were to be found on Friday, and those who were lucky enough tofindthem usually advanced on. College teams from up and down the California coast toughed it out and made do with what they had to work with, though. Competitors and spectators alike huddled under the scaffolding and few tents that hadn't been blown away with the wind, hiding from the rain and cold. They showed how tough the sport can be and braved heats throughout the day in the jumbled up, chest-high, freezing surf. The Cougar's 7th place finish was fueled by standout performances from Sean Hastings and Lucas Dalager who advanced through heats and racked up points all the way up to the Quarter Finals. The top CSUSM placing was earned by Kevin Onizuka, who made it all the way to the finals in the Bodyboard division, placing 4th in the Final. The team will bring the heat, and compete in one more event rescheduled for Huntington Beach's Ninth Street on May 13 to determine their overall season standing. The A team's spot is now secured for Nationals, but will duke it out to try and up their overall ranking for the season. The B team's spot for the National Championships is up in the air, and could have a shot, based upon their result at the next contest. The surf team encourages Cougars to spend a day at the beach and show their school spirit by rooting the team on. Just look for the customized CSUSM tent with the surfing Cougar! The NSSA National Championship is scheduled for June 22-24 at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, so mark your calendars!

One student who asked a non-softball question was told by a girl behind him to "shut up." Another student, a Jordanian girl, who had spent the vast majority of her life in the Middle East, spoke out in disagreement with many of the points Al-Araji presented, noting that her experience in the region had been vastly different. Although the girl phrased her argument politely, a member of the audience behind her remarked that "she was ignorant," while another audience member similarly insulted her and forced the student to leave the auditorium. Following the exit of this student, about 10-15 fellow students got up and left, without comment. BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Freedom of expression and intellectual discourse was stifled Thursday night, March 16, in Markstein 125, as polite debate was exchanged for insults and intolerance. The fireworks at the forum on the situation in Iraq erupted shortly after questions started being taken by the speaker and Iraqi journalist Faiz AlAraji. Although many students simply agreed with Al-Araji's position and comments, or asked for further expansion on topics she had touched upon, a few students attempted to engage Al-Araji in polite The question is: What happened on Thursday night that audience members at a Cal State San Marcos forum felt it necessary to insult their fellow peers? Why were those students who had a differing view of the situation in Iraq not allowed to speak or ask questions? Wasn't that what the forum was all about? Instead of the exodus of the 10 or 15 students that left, why didn't one of the several teachers in the room get up and ask the few audience members who were being insulting toward those asking questions of a differing view point to leave? The event ended with a round of applause, after which Al-Araji referenced back to the Jordanian student's remarks. Comparing the Jordanian girl to Iraqis who support the current U.S. occupation, Al-Araji noted that "there are people like that in every war," or in other words, calling the girl, a student at CSUSM, a traitor. The lecture on Thursday night was interesting and illuminating, yet it was also biased and one-sided. The forum was supposed to be a presentation of new ideas and differing cultural perspectives, yet because of the actions of some, the forum failed on both accounts. The question remains: what happened to respect and the free exchange of ideas March 16, in Markstein Hall? Robbins Report: 'Dude looks like a lady 9 BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride Okay, you're going to think that you hate me, but read the whole thing. Did you hear about the upcoming "Drag Show" event on campus? Yeah, they're describing it as a "celebration of professional and local drag stars." First off, understand that I have no clue as to what this celebration will entail and that I'm a proponent of gay rights and same-sex marriage. I have papers to prove it. "Jason, why do you complain about stuff that you're not interested in?" "Why don't you just leave people alone?" They're legitimate questions. In this case, you can bl ame someone else (at least partially). Earlier in the semester, one of my professors joked about how they shove diversity down our throats at CSUSM. This professor went on to explain that diversity is useful, noting that no single group's experience is the source of all knowledge. As much sense as the professor made, I was still shocked. This marked thefirsttime that I've ever heard a professor question the bearings of our ship.

Actually, I disagree on a technicality. Nobody forces anyone to attend events for prostitutes, communists, or drags stars. No. Students hold these events for themselves. They invite some like-minded folks, and blow enough smoke until everyone feels jolly in their bright red diversity suits—and that's cool. Returning to the "Drag Show", I'm fine with the plan (not to say they needed my permission). I'm confident that drag queens and such have something positive to contribute to one's world view. j Good for all CSUSM student and fecuMy! i # $ 3 9 j §ftW Goodforait CSUSM student and faculty! $ 49 Good for all CSUSM student and faculty!

One could argue that minority groups (like those who support drag people) hold such events in order to gain acceptance in society. That's a noble cause. Are the folks behind the "drag show" primarily driven by such a noble cause? In the online announcement for the event, it calls on one to "celebrate the breaking of gender." Is this any different from gaining acceptance in society? I think it is, What i f I'm for it seems in the former, acceptance is negligible. In any event, the "big deal" seems to be about breaking gender. The desire to "break gender" does diversify the view of gender. Although I have to wonder: Does this type of cause work to create the feeling that groups want to shove diversity down our throats? Another question: Do some of us get irritated when it appears that other folks glorify their differences with little respect for our acceptance? Would that be very moral of us?

Spring Break' in Southern California BY ANDREW RUISENO Pride Staff Writer The time of year all college students look forward to is upon us, and no, we are not talking about graduation ... it is this year's spring break! Sure, you may be graduating this May, and for many this means entering the real world, so all the more reason to have one last carefree celebration as a college student. For those of you students who will not be graduating in the spring, this is your week to forget about the trials and tribulations school seems to bring with it. However, if you do not have the airline tickets or the unlimited budget most would love to have on this down time, here are some local ways to spend your spring break in the state that many college students flock to from around the country. Spring break is upon us for the Cai State San Marcos student body and here are some options for those of you who have to stay local in a big way. San Diego is the place to be, so it is not going to be hard finding what to do but rather which event to choose. Belmont Park itself has more to offer than its Giant Dipper rollercoaster; it offers a nice day at the beach with that special someone or friends with arcades and water sport rentals. Mission Beach offers a great night life, as well, with restaurants, bars and clubs. If you happen to stop by the local 21 and up spot Plum Crazy, which pulls in a younger college age crowd, be sure to ask for the 911. The 911, according to signonsandiego.com, is the house specialty which consists of 23 ounces of seven different liquors that resembles a fruit punch. Another spot is Sea World, which is $53 per adult. It may sound terribly cliché, but who doesn't love getting splashed òr least watching people getting splashed by the 10,000-pound killer whale Shamu? Plus, it is a good way to kill an afternoon just walking around eating and making fun of the tourists while you take pictures of every event, including your kisses with dolphins (it could happen). Or if Sea World is not what you would consider a good time, there is always the San Diego Museum of Art, where walking and looking at known art works can be fulfilling and relaxing under the California sun. The San Diego Zoo also offers more attractions then one can visit in just one afternoon. With the exhibits and shows, the San Diego Zoo is truly a place to explore for $32 per adult ticket. For the crowd of Cai State San Marcos students that are under 21, there is no need to just drive down to Tijuana; there Chocolate Porter BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM smooth, the Bayhawk porter has Pride Staff Writer strong flavors, especially that While there are a number of of toasted malts, yet has a mild new and growing microbreweries aftertaste.

According to signonsadiego.com, Lestat's Coffeehouse was named after the famed brat prince vampire character from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (most notable for the novel "Interview with the Vampire"). Not only do you get gourmet coffee, but a range of gourmet desserts and salads and sandwiches. Not to mention Lestat's Coffeehouse also has a form of entertainment every nigtt, whether i tis a rock band or comedian. Soma is also a good all-ages venue to watch bands play, and this spring break be sure to catch Bleeding Through on March 31 and the punk band Subhumans on April L For those of you who are over 21, there are all the usual suspects for this spring break. The Beauty Bar, according to signonsandiego.com, is one place where it asks "the beautiful people ... the hip ones anyway ... out to play in city heights." The Beauty Bar is a chic location for the San Diego crowd who is into fashion, cocktails, and a 6 dollar manicure while you drink. In Hillcrest, Hamburger Mary's offers a good time for Gays, Lesbians and friends of the community on Sunday nights. This spring break if you are staying in San Diego, do not get disappointed; there is so much to do here, all you have to do is decide where and when, and what next.

He wasn't quite the hero that we remember, but America wasn't quite the place that he expected after 40 years. At the end of that episode, Dr. King gave an incredible speech and moved to Canada. "The Boondocks" is not the typical cartoon. It incorporates Photo courtesy of Cartoon Network Japanese anime with adult-oriented language and humor. According to Boondockstv. com, McGruder's series was originally a comic strip in an independent newspaper. The comic strip has become a huge success and is now published in over 150 newspapers and magazines. In November 2005, the cartoon premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The series follows two African-American brothers, Huey and Riley Freeman, who were adopted by their Granddad. Their Granddad took the inner-city kids and moved them to white suburbia. There is no plot, just their everyday life. Many of the storylines are about race relations. Rather than completely focusing on racism, the show also touches on biracial identity, political values, and inner-city hardships. Huey, the cartoon's protagonist, wants to fix the problems with Afriean-Americans. He knows that racism exists, but not everyone around him does. Huey's younger brother Riley, on the other hand, is one of those people who are oblivious. There's nothing new about the story that many people have not heard about or experienced. But "The Boondocks" does bring something new to the table: The characters use the 'N-word' so freely. Yes, Huey, the ten-year old, uses the word on a daily basis. Yes, Granddad and his friend, Ruckus, use the word to describe every black man on the show. And yes, Dr. King used it in his incredible speech. Some people mayfindit offensive; others will say it's keeping it real. One episode of "The Boondocks" will not only make you laugh, it will make you think. The content is fresh and the mes- THE PRIDE sage of each storyline will give you a whole new perspective. If you can bear to stay awake on Sunday nights, be sure to catch "The Boondocks" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at 11 Photo courtesy of Cartoon Network p.m. It's worth the 30 minutes of entertainment. If you can't get enough of McGruder's animated series, read his cartoon strip every day on boondockstv.com. 'Black. White.' brings new color to television BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer "Black. White." is not only a new show on FX, but a social experiment. Airing on Wednesday nights at 10:00p.m, executive producers R.J Cutler and Ice Cube take viewers on a journey that explores the subtleties of racism in America. "Everybody thinks of a Klan man standing with a shotgun, yelling, 'Keep it white.' Everybody is worried about the guy with the black power, leather jacket on, Afro ... worried about those kinds of people and not really knowing that racism is not just the obvious," said Ice Cube, according to the associated press. The show follows two families, both middle-class and with educated parents, but one family is black and one family is white. Thanks to Hollywood makeup artists, the families change races by air brushing, skin paint, and wigs. Then the families switch roles for the six weeks of produc- tion, immersing themselves in each other's culture. For example, Rose, the 18 year old daughter of the white family, joins a young black poetry group, and Brian, the father of the black family, gets a job as a b artender at a bar that consists of predominately white c ustomers. The family lives in the same household with Photo courtesy of FX networks each other for the whole process, which gives both families an opportunity to discuss their experiences in each other's skin. According to Latimes.com, Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying that 'Black. White.' was a "groundbreaking documentary series." Some may agree that the show has potential to open dialogue about the issues of race that still persist today, but others may take the show as not such a great idea. "Black. White." has been criticized as being an unscripted reality show rather than a documentary. According to Latimes.com, journalist and cultural critic Nelson George believes the series could potentially aggravate racial tensions, particularly in L.A., rather than leading to more understanding. Tensions have run high at times in the families' household as the black parents do not feel as though the white parents are getting what the experience is trying to show them while the white parents feel at times that the black parents are waiting for them, to say or do something wrong. It seems, so far anyway, that the children are learning the most from the experiment. According to an article by Chip Crews from Washingtonpost.com, "Nick (son of the black family) and Rose (daughter of the white family) suggest that people their age tend to base their opinions of others on the individual rather than on skin color. Unlike their fathers, they're neither smug nor mired in anger, and they're far quicker to learn." Like any controversial topic, the show has come with mixed reviews. Regardless of criticisms, the show is stirring up dialogue, which is a start at accomplishing what the creators set out to do. According to AllHipHop.com, Ice Cube said," 'Black. White.' will force people to challenge themselves and really examine where we stand in terms of race in this country." Amanda Bynes is 'The Man' <f§. » m BY RACHEL CARRIE WANN Pride Staff Writer While the works of William Shakespeare have been presented on the big screen many times over for the young adult and teen audience in recent years, never before has the gender-bending comedy of "Twelfth Night" been given such an innocent yet comedie modern twist. While the tragic "O", and teen comedy "Ten Things I Hate About You" helped introduce a younger audience to some of Shakespeare's finest, those remakes of "Othello" and "Taming of The Shrew" lack the endearing nature of She's The Man. The plot here brings the protagonist, aptly named Viola after "Twelfth Night's" leading lady, to assume the role of her look-a-like brother Sebastian, in order to continue her high school Photos courtesy of Dreamworks soccer career at a new school after her girls' soccer program is cancelled. The resemblance to "Bend It Like Beckham" ends there, and the familiar Mean Girls-esque high school mentality prevails as a complicated love triangle ensues. However, this exceptionally twisted knot of unrequited love hilariously features the beautiful Olivia who finds herself attracted to Sebastian, who really is Viola posing as Sebastian, who has already fallen for the devastatingly attractive Duke (yes, named after Duke Orsino of the original) who loves Olivia... and then we're back to Sebastian, who neither Duke or Olivia knows is really Viola. Phew! Amanda Bynes shines here as both the adorable Viola and the chubby-cheeked Sebastian, playing up her faux masculinity. While not entirely convincing as a boy, the slapstick humor that comes into play whenever genders are swapped is predictable, yet still likeable enough to keep an audience pleasantly amused. Certainly not on<e of the finest films of 2006, "She's The Man" can at least promise a handful of laughs from the lighthearted, if not goofy, humor from Amanda Bynes. This should come as no surprise to those who are familiar with Bynes' comedic beginnings on Nickelodeon. Bynes prevails in her dual roles, captivating almost every scene, and her dorky cuteness practically overshadows the lackluster of her supporting cast of unknowns, enough so as to keep those at least moderately familiar with Shakespeare's original works sufficiently entertained.. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"We wanted to let President Haynes know that we think it's time for her to demand that the Trustees reinvest in the CSU," said Lance Newman, secretary of the CFA San Marcos. "We want them to reduce student-faculty ratios and approve fair contracts for the unions." The Unite to Win rally was co-sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA), the California State University Employees Union (CSUEU), and the Academic Professionals of California (APC), and according to Newman, the demonstration was well-supported, with over 250 people participating in the rally.

"This has been a long-standing dream of Cal State San Marcos," said President Karen Haynes. The Center for Children and Families was made possible through a grant awarded to Cal State San Marcos from the First Five Commission of San Diego in the summer of 2004, providing $7,681,356 in funds to build the 22,000 squarefoot facility. An additional contribution from the 2005 approved fee referendum has made this ASI dream into a reality. The ground-breaking ceremony began with a delightful twist of "Hi-Ho ... it's off to Cal State we go," cheered by the pre-kindergarten class from the Early Learning Center, operated and funded Poullard wishes campus 'farewell Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride by Associated Students, Inc. With the construction of the new facility, the ELC will relocate out of their current leased-space, making Cal State San Marcos their new permanent home. Licensed to accommodate and serve an expected 300 infants and pre-kindergarteners, including the 48 from the ELC, the new Center for Children and Families will utilize programs See CENTER, page 2 Cal State San Marcos prepares to bid farewell to Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard. Poullard will go on to work at UC Berkeley at the conclusion of the Spring 2006 semester. "The community at Berkeley is one that I can benefit from both personally and careerwise," said Poullard in explaining why he decided ofi employment at the UC. For Poullard, the CSUSM community served as a place where he benefited from his commitment to keeping student interest and learning at the center of his agenda. However, Poullard describes his Sari Diego experience as one of struggle over trying to blend his personal life with the quality of his career. "UC Berkeley allows me to earn a Ph.D. while also working," said Poullard. Berkeley is also a community with a heavy sociopolitical atmosphere, an element found intriguing to the Dean of Students. San Diego lacks the diversity and opportunities for growth that Poullard seeks in each location he travels to. So, after nearly six years of experience, he will be saying good-bye to Cal State San Marcos. When asked about his most memorable experiences at CSUSM, Poullard chuckled upon recalling the events surrounding the Michael Moore issue during Fall 2004. "The experience sent positive chills up my spine. The students were active in making the school their own at that moment, and it reminded me of why I am an educator," said Poullard. During his experience here, Poullard feels he's benefited from working so closely with the student body in forming positive bonds to give rise to strong leadership. He also commented that campus organizations are See POULLARD, page 3 Lunafest Coffee hour LGBTA Letter to the Editor St. Patrick's Day edition See News See Features PAGE 4 See Sports PAGE 5 See A & E PAGE 8 PAGE 12 �Parking frustrations aim to be alleviated Editorial Staff Editor in Chief Patrick B.

Lot F will generate BY LISA LANDERS Pride Staff Writer $44 million, as opposed to applying for a grant that will cost $48 million. Another important question asked frequently of the Parking and Transportation Services Department is why not increase the faculty/staff parking fees as well, which currently costs only $14.00 a month, which in a semester is about $88.00 less than what students are currently paying now per semester. The answer, according to Director Dora R. Knoblock, is that some years ago parking became a bargaining issue between the Chancellors Office and the Union, and since the price increased in 1999 for faculty/staff from $12.00 per month to $14.00 per month, it has since remained the same. Finally, the common question asked of the Parking and Transportation Service is why are students who are here now having to pay for a structure that they are unlikely to use. Williams offered a conclusive answer. "Students seven years ago were paying to subsidize parking that you now use, and now you'll be paying for the future students," said Williams. It is a circle system that seems unfair atfirst,but at second glance makes sense. Both Knoblock and Williams agree that they are looking out for the greater campus community that is not just the present, but the future as well. 1,500 new spaces for students, according to Parking and Transportation Services. It will also include a drive-thru daily ticket machine, oversized vehicle and motorcycle accommodations, car pool parking, disabled access, and new pedestrian pathways which have never been implemented before. Lot F's construction is scheduled to begin this April and aims to be available for students for Fall 2006. The next big project, which is set to be completed in 2011, is CSUSM's first parking structure. This is where the ten-year plan comes into play. This new structure will be in the place where Lot N now resides, next to the University Village Apartments and Chavez Circle. The structure will contain an estimated 2,800 general parking spaces and it will be at least four stories tall. The project will cost roughly $48 million. According to Williams, the school generates approximately $3 million a year. Also, taking into consideration that the state does not assist in financing such projects, the money consequently must be raised through increased parking fees.

Students and faculty are invited to attend this important event. "It is important for students and faculty to come. We have the opportunity to learn history from someone who was actually there. How many times in a lifetime do you get a chance like that?" said German Club president, Jean Scheuneman. Having suffered the horrors of eight concentration camps, including the infamous Auschwitz, Having heard Mr. Faber speak Faber watched his parents and before, Scheuneman believes five of his six sisters murdered, and witnessed the torturous death hearing him speak will have a of his brother, Romek.

As a final word to CSUSM students, Jonathan Poullard left this lasting message: "Students, make this campus your own. Don't just make this a place where you go to school, but engage in the events of your university; do not just be a bystander." BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos reaches the halftime mark in the tenweek competition of RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. With 93 colleges and universities participating in the program, Cal State San Marcos continues to strive for the RecycleMania title. But at this midpoint, one neighboring San Diego county campus stands between Cal State San Marcos and another national recycling championship. Point Loma Nazarene University maintains a tiny, but stubborn half percent overall recycling rate lead over CSUSM in the Grand Champion division of the competition. The Grand Champion division measures the combined results of the Per Capita Classic and the Waste Minimization competitions, and demonstrates the greatest achievement in both source reduction and recycling. In the Per Capita Classic standings, CSUSM finds itself in second, trailing by six pounds of recyclables per person. In this competition, institutions are competing to collect the largest amount of recyclables per person. While Cal State San Marcos pushes to regain their title, the campus proudly maintains a strong and powerful lead in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, with 35 pounds per person, a strong comparison to second place campus, Kalamazoo College, far behind the Cougars with barely 15 pounds per person. This year, the competition has been especially intense with traditional powers such as Colorado State, Washington State, and Miami (Ohio) chasing close behind the Cougars. Cal State San Marcos's Green Team and Blue Crew need the campus's added support as they work to keep the championship in San Marcos. Together, CSUSM can make everything count. "This year, we need to do more. Everything that needs to be recycled needs to be recycled. From newspapers, to old classroom assignments, every piece makes a difference" - Carl Hanson, director of the Green Team at Cal State San Marcos. "We want students to know Union. Solidarity. Unity.

As the CSU faculty, staff, and students wait for the negotiations, Thursday's rally was one of many events to come. "The fight isn't over," added Newman. "Everyone should get involved."

"We are proposing the ASI Women's Center budget to the Associated Student Inc. Board of Directors in April which we hope will fund the bare necessities of the center," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. Hosted^ by ASI, University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the Arts and Lectures Series, and Student Leadership and Life Multicultural Programs, the LUNAFEST Fifth-year Anniversary presented films from, by, and about women. CSUSM students paid an entrance donation of $15 while other attendants paid $25. Before the filming began, there was a wine and cheese reception. In addition, there was also an auction for more donations. All the money raised from this event goes directly to the funding of the ASI Women's Center. "Funds raised from outside ASI will supplement programs, services and resources, and build on a savings account for the future of the ASI Women's Center," said Barr. These funds will also bring Advocate Scholarships for CSUSM students, mentioned Barr. "The ASI Women's Center is a pull-together of many on campus and community resources and services as a sort of 'information hub' for services already available from programs all around campus," said Barr. The ASI Women's Center will be student run, will advocate for support and will expand services to students. Resources such as pamphlets and referrals will be available for as informational tools. The center will provide a network to various groups on and off campus. The center will also provide counseling and support groups. Students can also visit the center for menstruation and contraceptive supplies. "The ASI Women's Center is a safe space for women to come for information, resources, services, and programs that affect them," said Barr. "It is a hub of information and a place for all students to feel like they have a voice and a resource." ASI Women's Center will continue to host many other events that will help raise money for the new facility. Currently, the Stand Up for Women campaign is accepting donations. Anyone who donates $15 or more will have a plaque dedicated with their name. The deadline for donations, with a plaque, is March 24. The ASI Women's Center will be located in Commons 201A, around the corner from the other ASI offices. The ASI Women's Center grand opening is scheduled for April 4.

Held on March 8, and sponsored by Global Connections in support of Women's History Month, the event featured as guest lecturer Fulbright Scholar Dr. Shagufta Iqbal. Following a similar format to previous Coffee Hours, it was both social and educational, with attendants enjoying free coffee, lemonade and snacks. Local and international Students and staff also took the opportunity to get reacquainted and meet new people. Aside from the more tangible benefits, the lecture from Dr. Shagufta Iqbal also helped attract those in need of a coffee break. Dr. Iqbal is the principal of an all-female government degree college in Sibi, Pakistan. Visiting the United States on a Fulbright scholarship, Dr. Iqbal discussed her desire to apply U.S. teaching ¿mm methods to females in Pakistan. the Pakistani education system.

She says that the women feel more comfortable, both socially and academically, when learning with an all-female staff and student body. The body of her speech honed in on the types of reforms she hopes to implement in her home country of Pakistan, including a revamp of current curriculums and introducing a variety of new courses. There was also acknowledgement that teachers would need more education and training themselves. Of particular interest to testweary students in this country, Dr. Iqbal stressed the need for reforming the assessment/examination mold. She explained that in Pakistan, there is too much emphasis on a single test, that the norm of using a single examination to gauge students' knowledge. Current tests emphasize memorization and, in her opinion, are inadequate means of predicting students' potential success.

Through these photos, it was clear that a lack of technology and facilities present huge obstacles to Pakistanis gaining an education. Often there is no plumbing, and children sit on the floor because they have no desks. Some classes are held without a physical classroom, resulting in teachers lecturing to their classes i nihe hot desert sun. "I was shocked at the condition of their schools and lack of financial aid," said Aya Okada, an international student who attended the International Coffee Hour. After hearing Dr. Iqbal's lecture, it was evident that the U.S. education system had made a good impression on her. She plans on applying many U.S. teaching techniques to schools in Pakistan, listing such methods as student-involved instruction, reduced test anxiety, research/ activity orientation, and needbased technical skills. "[There are] so many issues, I could talk for hours and hours," said Dr. Iqbal about the obvious factors that affect education reform. But she remains optimistic about Pakistan's future. $430 billion have been budgeted for the nextfifteenyears in a governmental program called "Education for All." While it is a vital cause, Dr. Iqbal said that "reaching this goal will depend on [Pakistani governmental] leadership." �Cougar Pride on the Prowl Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride Energized with campus spirit, C RASH and Freshman Casey Evans enjoy the delicious taste of "Think Blue Week", sponsored by A SI.

With the continuing rise of gas prices and tuition, Commuter Student Services developed the Gas Card Program. The Gas Card Program is a chance for students who attend ASI sponsored and co-sponsored events to enter in a monthly drawing to win a $100 gas card. "The goal was to provide a useful and needed service for the 90 some odd percent of students that commute from throughout the county to our campus," said Director of Commuter Student Services, Jeremy Mill. Some students may be unaware of the program or free gas incentive, but 'since the programs initial start in September of 2005, there have been nine winners from the Fall semester and five from Spring semester. When a student attends any ASI event, he or she is eligible to place one ticket into the drawing for each event that student attends within that month. The drawings are held on the last business day of each month with the winner being contacted with the information that was provided on the ticket. If for some reason the winner does not respond or pick up the card within one week from initial contact, another winner is chosen. A student has the possibility to win Food Mart Photo by Chrisitine Vaughan / The Pride every month if their name is drawn, however, there are some restrictions. A student cannot win more than one card per month, and students that work for ASI (Programming Board, Board of Directors, intramurals, or Recreation) are not eligible to enter the drawings. The gas cards are for Shell Gasoline and are accepted at all Shell Gas Stations. The nearest Shell Station is about 3 miles from the campus at the cross-section of San Marcos Blvd. and Grand next to In & Out. The gas card program will run until the end of the semester.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer The eager, the apprehensive, the lucky few who could find close seats, all spread into Com 206 last Tuesday at 8pm to attend the latest presentation of the Sextoys Workshop. As the presentation was readying to begin, student Christine Weir, a junior with a double major in social science and women's studies, learned about the event from other students passing out flyers in her class. When asked if she had any expectations, she replied that, "I've never been to a 'workshop' before, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this stuff works." Speaking with her further about whether this kind of event was good for the campus, she believes "it helps make the campus more progressive, and ease negative stereotypes about sex-toys." Amid the ample display of erotic tools and seasonings, the phallic and fakebreast-like balloons, students looked about for familiar faces and snacked on cookies served from a baking mold resembling male genitalia and drank soft drinks, but mostly hoarded energy drinks from an ice container that, sadly, only resembled a bucket. Sophomore and computer science major, Muenge Loundu, who had clearly never been exposed to anything related to sextoys, said he was expecting, if anything, "some instruction on how and why to use them." Even if a little apprehensive, he had no trouble saying: "I'd go even if the event wasn't on campus, I always like to learn about new things, and this is something I knew virtually nothing about." Mr. Loundu also felt that it was, "good to have it on campus, to make more people aware." Though last Spring's event was organized by the Women's Studies department, this year the task was in ASI's hands. The audience was thusly welcomed by organizer Cheyenne Barr, who took a moment to alert students to other events celebrating 'Her-story' month. Attendants were also encouraged to participate in raffles for both the workshop and the regular drawing open to all who attend an ASI event and are interested in winning such student-friendly prizes as 100$ of gasoline. Next to the stage was Dr. Ghiara, or as some affectionately call him, 'Dr. G." He began his lecture with a seemingly serious story about 'men in dark suits' coming to censor the presentation, primarily his slide show. It was then that he guided the laughing crowd through an Photos by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride Above: Dr. Ghiara explains the science of our systems. Right: Presenters Crystal and Honey help us to understand and enjoy. Bottom-right: Gentlemen, meet "Gigi." assortment of photos displaying cute kittens and proud roosters. (Those unaware of the slang-pun implied here are welcome to email the Pride for further explanation.) Once everyone settled, Dr. G then proceeded to explain in very simple terms the precise functions of the female and genitals and the human sexual response, emphasizing the relationship between mental and physical stimuli as well as the individual nature of our sexual selves. There is, to those concerned, much natural variation between one person and the next, specifically in what they find pleasurable. Dr. G also gave a brief explanation of the both enigmatic and, for some, irrelevant 'g-spot' as well as a history of Kegel exercises and how scientifically recommended they are. Following the lecture, a Q&A session rewarded those who paid close enough attention to both the subject matter and its significance. Naturally, some prizes drew more hands than others. Dr. G. also emphasized his desire to raise money for a cancer research fund, offering free professional and private sex consultation to those who donate to the cause. Those interested should contact consults@DrGonline.com The women of Passion Parties themselves kept things both fun and relaxed, offering free samples of pheromone oils and an all natural 'enhancement gel' promised to greatly increase sexual experience for half a day; half a dozen of each gender was quick to their feet to step into the nearby restroom. Some of these volunteers came back smiling, others smiling a lot. Naturally, the toys themselves _ _—.

Students opened their mouths wide, either stunned or mesmerized by the many feats of engineering and novelty ... though the room grew noticeably, if predictably, quiet at the introduction of the 'playful plug.' Calm, yet still attentive and eager to laugh, senior liberal studies major, Juana Molina, reflected a moment to compare this workshop to last Spring's event, held in the much larger Clark Field House. "These presenters had lower priced items, and a smaller audience made it seem more interactive." The unofficial Passion Parties motto of "a little Aribration never hurt anybody," was clearly convincing, as more than half the attendees stayed behind to either discuss the presentation or visit the Passion Parties ordering table, where they offered hand jobs. This reporter got one himself, amazed at how good it felt to have one of the presenters put on a plastic textured mitten and rub massage oil onto his hand. In addition to such demonstrations, they also offer the highest of confidentiality to those ordering their products. Catching up with Ms. Christine Weir again, it was clear that she'd been pleasantly surprised, particularly by "how much .health related information they provided ... it (the whole event) was great." John Hall, a sophomore majoring in Biology, and another who clearly never considered sex-toys a major factor in their lives, also spoke well of the event. "Initially, I just went along with my friends, but now I feel these things could help anybody. Speaking with Cheyenne about any resistance she received to putting on another workshop, she was happy to say that there were only a couple people "concerned that the event would promote immoral-intercourse, yet virtually all of these things could be used solo." She went on to remark that something like a sex-toys workshop on campus is "like the second course to sex education, and for some it's the first." Dr. Ghiara was also very adamant in his stance on issues surrounding the controversy. "Encouraging people to know more about themselves is not advocating hedonism." As to issues of hesitation or hostility towards supporting such an event, or of having to constantly defend its 'educational value,' he admitted that it was certainly something to consider, "but if this were a more residential college that wouldn't be as big an issue." He also brought to light a bit of American context with a slightly mortified laugh, pointing out that in many of the states that outright criminalize sex-toys, the open sale of automatic weapons is perfectly legal. Honey and Chrystal, of Passion Parties, are both CSUSM alumni and former ASI members. They've brought their passion to campus before, but only as vendors at last year's performance of The Vagina Monologues. Typically they're invited to private homes, but both agreed they 'd love to present at universities more often because, as Chrystal points out, "sex is everywhere, but sex education isn't." To anyone still uncomfortable with the idea of a sex-toys workshop on campus, Honey explains warmly how "continued conversation about sex and sexuality provides people more comfort with their bodies and their partner's body." Once more, Honey echoes the evening's clear stance that it's not merely 'permissible' to provide these kinds of venues; "It's important to equip students with the tools to make healthy decisions about their sex lives." �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride The u pcom- ing sports weekend for San Diego will be an alltime great. It will also be a great opportunity to show off San Diego to the world. i It's not often that playoff games take place in San Diego, because the Chargers and Padres play in their respective postseasons about once every decade. During this weekend, however, San Diego will have playoff fever. On Thursday March 16, the NCAA Men's basketball tournament will kick off with first round play at Cox Arena on the campus of San Diego State. The March Madness tourney is something that every sports fan needs to experience. I have not had the opportunity to attend an NCAA tourney game, and if I don't get a chance to go to the first round, then maybe I will get a shot at the second round which will be. played on March 18 at Cox Arena. The first round always sees plenty of upsets. One No. 12 seed seems to always beat a No. 5 seed on the first day, but don't get too upset-minded, though, because no 16 seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed, so don't forget about that when filling out your brackets. If the NCAA tourney wasn't enough on Saturday, the World Baseball Classic Tournament semifinals will be held at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. I have tickets for both games which will take place at noon and 7 pm. Maybe I will be able to sneak in a second round game of the NCAA tourney in between the two baseball games. The San Diego sports weekend will officially end on Monday, March 20, when the WBC championship game takes place. On January 24, I predicted a Dominican Republic versus United States championship game. I stand by that prediction with a forewarning that Venezuela looks strong, so don't be surprised to see them take the Dominican's spot. San Diego athletes will also get the opportunity to shine. The SDSU Men's basketball team will be playing in the NCAA tournament and has an excellent chance at winning a game since they have two likely future NBA prospects in Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter. Mohamed Abukar gives SDSU a third scoring threat and any team that has three players who average 14 points or more per game definitely has a shot to shock some teams. In the other sport, Jake Peavy will have a spotlight on him if the United States WBC team makes it to the semifinals because Peavy is the probable starter. If Mexico makes it to the semifinals, then another Padres player, Vinny Castilla, will get some attention. The Mexican WBC team captain would be playing just 30-minutes from his home country, at his home ball park in front of the world.

Test Y ourself AN ARMY OF ONE' U .S.ARMY �Art can get under your skin BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Writer Students across campus express their individuality through numerous mediums. Clothing, mode of transportation, hairstyles, and lingo give clues to their personality. Tattoos are no longer limited to certain stereotypes but are now used as a means of expression by a variety of people. People can't judge what "type" of person is prone to getting a tattoo because the range has expanded to the point of non-existence. Tattoos are no longer synonymous with drunken sailors or leather clad rebels without causes. Gone are the days of tattoos being only socially accepted on men. Currently, there are so many people that have tattoos that it's probably harder to find someone who doesn't have one. A lot of individuals get tattoos that are really personal and mean something to them. Some people even create their own tattoo designs because the design is unique and accurate to who they are and what they want to express about themselves. There are of course individuals who get tattoos for purely aesthetic reasons or because tattoos happen to be the "in" thing. They may choose a tattoo by its popularity and not necessarily its meaning. These people probably have tattoos of dolphins, flowers, butterflies, or tribal bands they picked off a wall or their tattoo artist's portfolio. They probably have belly ring or tongue piercing scars to remind them of the days when piercings were the in thing. Some of them will probably regret their tattoos and eventually end up having them removed. Where a tattoo is placed is almost as important as what kind of tattoo is chosen. A lot of people get tattoos in places that aren't visible when wearing a t-shirt and jeans or whatever attire they may be required to wear at work. A lot of females tend to get tattoos on their lower back so that it's visible when low pants or short tops are worn. Males seem to get tattoos wherever they deem aesthetically best. There is no norm to predict who around you may have a tattoo. The boisterous guy in class with piercings and a mohawk may be a virgin to the ink needle while the quiet introverted girl with glasses who sits at the front may have her whole back and arms covered with an ornate tattoo design. Hopefully, most people get tattoos to feed their individuality and not to feed pop culture's "what's hot today" top ten. Even if a tattoo is later removed, scarring is still visible and the experience of getting the tattoo lingers in the cranium so that the tattoo lasts basically forever. People should take heed when selecting a design and place for their tattoo. People should also shed the stereotypes they've been conditioned to accept for the tattooed and not judge someone superficially. In a world where things once considered extravagant are now mass produced, individuality is a hard path to walk and a harder path to create for oneself. Letter to the Editor In the Feb. 28th article, "LGBTA keeps a low profile on campus," we the members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally Student Organization want to thank Natasha Heckendorn for taking the time to learn about our group and for educating the CSUSM community. She is the first representative from the newspaper to acknowledge and give us exposure in Pride. As much as we are grateful for this exposure we want to respond to the statement of "low profile." Many student organizations on campus function remarkably well with "noticeably low" numbers. We are such an organization. We do want to address the comments concerning campus climate. We realize that there may be small numbers of reported hate crimes, but we want to offer a perspective on why the reports are low. We believe the incidents occur on a fairly regular basis, but because there is risk involved in reporting such incidents, people are less likely to come forward to report these incidents. According to the FBI (2000) the most frequently reported single hate crime offense was intimidation, which accounts for 34%. Hate crimes against LGBT individuals, like other crimes against oppressed groups, such as racial discrimination and sexual crimes, are personal and are more difficult to report to the authorities. Such reporting puts an individual in a position where they have to come out and could ultimately be subjected to added harassment. We suggest that reasons for the low number of reported hate crimes might be more complex and could be more of an indicator of the lack of safety for our members on campus. We as an organization realize that there is a need for educating our campus about LGBT and those issues that affect us. We would like our campus newspaper to continue to educate the community on LGBT matters and inform your readers about how they can act as our allies.

The potential ban is significant, but I reckon that most Americans would prefer to either praise or denounce abortion itself. So let's do that. I like to sum up the abortion issue in three basic notions: Notion #1: The abortionists (separate from the more numerous passive prochoicers) suppress their consciences in rejecting the embryo as human life, and distort concepts like "choice", in order to (a.) retain some power in a world that they believe hates women, and/or (b.) advance their work as diehard apologists for selfish and irresponsible behavior. Notion #2: The anti-abortionists (I'll admit, some of them are bigoted, militant, and overbearing) can see the forest and (like abolitionists before them) will be on the right side of history, because favoring the opportunity for life to proceed naturally over an unnatural convenience will always be more progressive. Notion #3: George W. Bush was right about one, and maybe only one, thing: In time, the abortionists will lose. Eventually the public will decide that this particular form of death/murder is unnecessary, and public policy will bless its desire. Many politicians on the left will be observed quietly celebrating without the monkeys on their backs. So that's my take on the abortion. I'm sure that you should agree; so go ahead. In other news, I met a nice girl last week and she wants to go out. I also met Alexis de Tocqueville and he wants me to believe that equality can be a threat to liberty. Tell me: Should I ditch equality, and deprive other females of an equal opportunity to be with me by pursuing this nice girl? Or should I bolster equality, apologize to this nice girl, and give myself back up to the female community? If I choose the latter (extreme equality) do I pose a threat to the liberty of so many others? Will the government come along someday and restrict folks from committing to one person? Will we be forced to share our love with others (I bet this doesn't sound too bad to some of you)? Oh, the life of a political theorist! John Locke, where are you when I need you the most brother? The lesson: Take an active interest in your studies, for you might just find yourself in a position to preserve or destroy liberty someday. I'm going out with the nice girl.

BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer "Free" is a word that is loved by all, but it is loved more so by college students. It seems that all college Students are broke, yet many are spending a lot of money for something that they can get for absolutely FREE! Students are always looking for some kind of f un and entertainment; what better way is there than to go to the movies! The Cougar Movies Series is in its second year and is offering free movies every Tuesday night, all semester long for students, staff, faculty, and guests. The movies are generally shown in the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union, with the exception of two movies that will be showing in Arts 240. "There are free movies on campus?!" said Business Administration major, Glenn Ramos. "I have no idea what's free on campus; I just assume they charge us for everything." Tim Bills, the Assistant Director at the Clarke Field House explains that the Cougar Movies Series is primarily sponsored by the University Student Union Advisory Board, Associated Students, Inc. and also by Student Life & Leadership. For movies that are shown on campus before their DVD release date, Cal State San Marcos pays $750 to the movie distribution company, Swank Motion Picture, Inc. for the rights to show the movie. For movies that have already been released on DVD, the cost is $415 to show it on campus. According to Mr. Bills, funds to pay for these movies come from student fees. When asked why these movies are shown just one night a week, and not throughout the week, Mr. Bills replied that the school has a contract with the distribution company that limits the showing of the movies to a one-time only. It would cost a lot more to show the same movie more than once. As to why the movies are shown on Tuesdays nights, Mr. Bills says that in the past, movies were shown on the weekends as non-alcoholic social programming. The number of attendees was low when movies were shown on campus during the weekends. This is why they are now on Tuesday nights. With an average of about 75 attendees, Mr. Bills hopes to attract more viewers. Glenn Ramos thinks that the student fees that are put towards Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures this program is money well spent, if there is a great number of people interested and attending "if I wasn't already busy on Tuesday nights, I would go," says Ramos. "But it is great for those that live on or around campus " Movies shown on campus were chosen at the beginning of the semester in the Student Organization Council meeting. Student members of the USUAB, ASI program board members, and representatives from the club organizations all had input into what movies they wanted to be shown. "We chose and voted for not only great blockbuster movies, Photo courtesy of Roadside Attractions but also for movies that corre- ness Model is from the holistic lated with what will be going on standpoint, encompassing physiaround campus," says^Bills.

XV N0.8 T o beds are better than one w T University Village Apartments plan to double occupancy in single-rooms by Fall 2006 BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer University Village Apartments are expected to double the occupancy in single-bedroom dormitories, accommodating eight students in some of the apartments, beginning in the fall semester of 2006. University Village currently consists of three buildings that offer two kinds of apartmentstyle floor-plans available to students. Both floor-plan apartments were initially arranged to accommodate four students, giving students the choice between two double occupancy bedrooms with two baths, or four singlebedrooms with two baths. How- ever, this fall, all students will be sharing a roommate in the four bedroom floor-plans, increasing occupancy at UVA to accommodate an additional 100 students. According to Lt. Doug Miller, there are 497 students currently living on campus in the University Village Apartments. The additional student residency will increase to house nearly 600 tenants. The plan for University Village in fall 2006 is to expand the occupation in two of its three buildings, according to Bridget Blansha, the director of Student Life and Leadership. The four bedroom apartments in the two buildings will be converted to support six students each. Each Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride apartment will have two single rooms and two double rooms. The bedrooms that will be converted into shared rooms are just a little more than half the size of the bedroonTs shared in the two bedroom floor-plan apartments.

The Etiquette Dinner first started because of requests made» by students. "It is very common for employers to invite prospective employees out for a meal during the recruiting process, just so they can see the applicant in a different environment, to see how they handle themselves," Punch said. "We found that in having this dinner, students can go through the entire dining experience from start to finish." Besides finally learning the use of "that extra fork," the dinner focuses on mannerisms and posture. This event has been organized for five years with excellent reviews by students, Nineteen international Japanese students from the American Language and Culture Institute are enjoying the campus life at California State University San Marcost through a month-long, all-expense-paid scholarship focused on refining English language skills and experiencing American culture. To celebrate the conclusion of their visit and receive participation certificates, the students will be performing a traditional Japanese dance in Commons 206 on Friday, March 10, from 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. The students attend Osaka Gaigo Yumiuri College of International Business in Japan, and their participation in this program, CSUSM's American Culture Experience, is an educational requirement for Japanese students while enrolled in their second year of college. The program "prepares international students for study in a U.S university or college," according to the ALCI website. Visiting CSUSM provides students with the resources to enhance their English skills. During their stay, students are able to take advantage of the many resources offered on campus, including the opportunity to use facilities, such as the Kellogg Library, the Clarke Field House and the University Village Apartments. In addition to these facilities, ALCI students work with helpful and friendly instructors, most of which hold advanced degrees and have extensive experience in English language education, to enhance language skills. While academic study and language proficiency is highly stressed, the students participating in the American Culture Experience also attend various activities outside the classroom. Recently, the students have been to Disneyland, Sea World and Dixon Lake Park. Their monthlong visit and study in San Marcos will conclude this Friday with a certificate ceremony and performance. Many students participating in the program agreed that the campus experience has been positive and educational. Several students commented that direct contact with native English speakers has improved their own language abilities and provided opportunities to gain new friendships. And naturally, many students spoke of the region's exceptional South- era California weather and about meeting friendly people. "This experience is my treasure!" said Aya Tomita. One of Tomita's favorite stops during her visit was the Carlsbad outlet. "There were many shops. I think I will never be tired of them, even if I walk around a whole day!" While most of their experiences during their visit have been positive, some students expressed some feelings of culture shock. Many agreed that American cuisine has been difficult for them to adjust to. Lack of personal transportation^ such as having a car, also posed some challenges. "I noticed that it's difficult to make myself understood," said Photo courtesy of ACLI Manabu Yamane. "I expected that I could speak more fluently." Their month-long visit and study at Cal State San Marcos has definitely been filled with learning experiences. The students expressed feelings of reaffirmed values, personal growth and formulation of future goals. Because of their time here, many have learned the value of good communication, friendship, and family. Some students have also decided that they want to study abroad in other countries as well. "The most important thing that I have learned so far is to be flexible, and try everything I'm interested in," said Aya Okada. "Time flies unbelievably fast." •ÄBrsPub •^MMÄf A+ S U B S P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

This workshop has been one of the most popular events each year, and this year is expected to be no different. The Sex Toys Workshop is free for students and the general public. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, March 7, and will be held in Commons 206 at 7 p.m. "Sex Toys was packed during the last year's workshop," explained Cheyenne Bany director of Women's Issues. "We couldn't get a bigger room this year, so come early." The workshop is not just any ordinary presentation, but an enticing sexual education lesson, complete with props. The night will begin with a lecture on sexual anatomy with Dr. G and Passion Party expert, Crystal Folk. "Students will learn more about themselves, and find alternative views for their bodies," said Barr. The second part of the night will be a Tupperware party, except there's no Tupperware, mentioned Barr. The audience will get to preview some sex toys and learn how to use them. Then, at the end of the night, there will be a free raffle to win a few of the toys and a chance to buy the items that were showcased. Following the workshop, the next Women's HER-story event will be the movie, "North County," detailing the major Sexual Harassment case: Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines. The event will be at 8 p.m. at the "The Clarke." Women's HER-Story Month has a variety of other events to offer students this year. Although there are many returning popular previous events, such as Sex Toys Workshop and a performance from Slam poet Bridget Gray, the month-long celebration will feature new events and have a different focus this year. "This year is focused on race and cultural issues," said Barr. "Over half of the events are of women from a different culture, different country, or different faith." However, this wasn't preplanned for the theme. This year, there has been an increase of support for Women's HER-Story Month from different departments and student organizations who wanted to bring their per- UVA,frompage 1 lived in University Village. However, Blansha assures, "If you look at the size of the personal space, it is still much larger than the average size, compared with other universities." While some students are concerned that doubling up will increase conflict arid other problems in University Village, campus officials aren't worried. "Statistically, 100 more people will have a minimal affect on safety in the dorms. Sixty-six percent of the students on campus are female, and females are statistically less violent," said Lt. Miller. According to Blansha, the task group working to increase the number of students has analyzed the effect that this increase may have. After lengthy discussions and talking to other universities that have implemented similar changes, the task group concluded that the change will spectives to the table. Arts and Lectures and ASI will also be presenting LUNAFEST 2006, an event showcasing a national film festival with short films by, for, and about women. LUNAFEST will be held on Thursday, March 9, in ARTS 240 at 2:30 p.m. On Friday, March 10, the new fundraiser for ASI Women's Center is the LUNAFEST Anniversary Fundraiser. This event is the five-year anniversary edition of LUNAFEST and is sponsored by the USUAB, Arts and Lectures, ASI, the Women's Studies Program, and the Student Life and Leadership Multicultural Program. "I hope that this will become an annual tradition as ihe fundraiser for the ASI Women's Center," said Barr. Before the films start, there will be an auction and a wine and cheese reception. This fundraiser is the only event that's not free to the public. The entrance donation for Cal State San Marcos students is $15. Other attendees are required to pay $25. Attendees must purchase in advance, at Commons 207. This event will be held in "The Clarke" Grand Salon at 6 p.m. On Tuesday, March 14, Giovanna Chesler will show her have an overall positive affect and that steps will be taken to avoid conflicts. As the number of students living on campus increases, the number of staff for the housing will also increase. There will be more Resident Assistants to help students avoid and resolve conflict and to help them adjust. The RAs will also be focused on getting students involved with campus life. The reason for doubling-up room occupancy is due to University President Karen Haynes' mission of making increased enrollment and student life a key priority for her administration. This past fall and spring, Cal State San Marcos exceeded its target enrollment and is anticipating a growth of more than six percent in Fall 2006. At this point, the only option to accommodate more students is to double-up occupancy until 2010, when more student-housing is scheduled to be available, according to Blansha. documentary: "Period: The End of Menstruation?" He will be addressing the issues of birth control which allow women and young girls to stop their periods for great lengths at a time. This presentation will be held in, ARTS 240 at 6 p.m. On Wednesday, March 15, there will be a lecture by Ibtesam A1 Atiyat on women, Islam, and politics in the Arab world. This event will be held in UNIV 370 at 11:30 a.m. On Thursday, March 16, there will be a performance from Linda Pershing's class, presenting their projects through dance, spoken word and artwork on their experiences of oppression in sexism and racism. This event will be held in ACD 304 at 11:30 a.m. On Monday, March 20, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Student Organization (LGBTSO) will be presenting "Inside Out-LGBTSO's Drag Show." This will be a celebration of breaking out of gender roles with professional and local ¡drag stars. This event will be held in "The Clarke," Grand Salon at 12 p.m. One of the most important events, according to Barr, will be "In Your Face," an awareness event that brings education about violence against women, hosted Diane Malone, associate director of Planning Design and Construction, explained that the state does not pay for student housing, so it must to be self-sufficient. The process to build more housing on campus is not an easy one, according to Blansha. The process begins by conducting market studies, which analyzes things such as the need for housing and what kind of housing would be best. The study also takes student opinion into account. This step of conducting a market study is currently taking place. After a plan is formed, it needs to go through a lengthy approval process through the Chairman's Office. Phase two of student housing won't necessarily be apartment complexes. On campus housing is one major way to get students involved with the campus, and Blansha agrees that the increase in residency at UVA is one of the approaches to increasing the campus's major goals to enhancing student involvement. on Tuesday, March 21. The day is divided into four features. At 10 a.m. in the Library Plaza, many organizations and programs will present global issues of violence against women. At 11:30 a.m. in ACD 102, a panel of representatives from different faiths will discuss women's contributions from different religions. At 4 p.m. in "The Clarke," Grand Salon, Katherine DeGrow will speak about women's place in Christianity. To close, "The Clarke," Grand Salon will feature the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha," at 8 p.m. Women's HER-Story Month will conclude its festivities on Thursday, March 23, with Dr. Lorraine Bayard de Volo lecture on how war and peace are implicated for women. This event will be held in the "The Clarke," Grand Salon at 11 a.m. "I really hope that we get more turnouts to give more awareness," said Barr. Although Women's HERStory Month is only celebrated in March, ASI Women's Center is hoping that the celebration will b e year-round, "It's been a year-round support for women's issues and gender related issues," said Barr. "I hope to make HER-Story Month into HER-Story Year." POLICE,frompage 1 beverages. It is only upon the sale of alcohol to the minor that police officers are able to make an arrest. "The program gives CSO's the chance to participate in something new, making the job more exciting," said Miller. In addition to providing more opportunity for CSO students, the program is another outlet through which campus police can work to alleviate problems with alcohol on and around campus. Last week, CSUSM police made two DUI arrests; both incidents involved the drivers exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit by nearly three times the amount. With St. Patrick's Day approaching, campus police strive to ensure student safety by educating the campus on the effects of alcohol, and eliminating sales to minors by local vendors.

Her Slam poetry style is reminiscent of "I had mixed feelings because the stanmany featured on HBO's "Russell Sim- dards were very rigid," explained Gray. Photo by Rachell Reyes / The Pride "They had an outline instead of letting me write in my own voice." She then remembered one of her Communications teachers. While she was reciting a poem, the teacher had made a racial comment about how black people spoke. When Gray had said the word "earth," the teacher mentioned that black people said "urf." "It was a stereotype," said Gray. "How could a teacher say something like that? This was supposed to be higher education. I've always had good articulation." After that experience, school wasn't quite the same. "School didn't necessarily feel like a safe place to put my guts on paper for a teacher to grade," commented Gray. "Which is ironic, because I do Slam." One of her most memorable pieces that night was her "Letter to Hip-Hop." This poem had actually landed her a stint on Simmons's show, but she was urged not to perform that piece. She went ahead and performed it anyway. Unfortunately, the episode did not air, but she will never forget the audiences' intense reaction. And even though the performance did not earn her any money, Gray surely grew spiritually from the experience. Students at this latest performance heard several pieces from both her albums, "Shades of Gray" and her most recent, "Self-Love." A fter wrapping up her last performance, Gray received a standing ovation. "I loved it. I was shocked how much I loved it," said Mary Rice, a graduating senior. "She has an amazing presence and it's definitely an example of how poetry is made to be read out loud." Although many students admitted to attending the event for extra credit, Ngan Tran and Dulce Santana, both freshmen and majoring in Women's Studies, were glad that they came. "It was very powerful and I think she could relate to Cal State San Marcos because sixty five percent are women," said Santana. "I'm upset that I never knew her before." Gray is hopeful about her future, and a one-woman show is in the works. "The sky's the limit. I don't want to put a ceiling on my potential," said Gray.

Even though sex-related topics are discussed more today than any other time, there is still a hush-hush nature about the distribution and use of sex toys. Nonetheless, Associated Students Inc. is breaking the silencing with this year's Sex Toy Workshop. On March 7, in Commons 206 at 7pm, alumnus and former ASI Executive Crystal Folk will be presenting her company's (Passion Parties) best toys, tricks and tantalizers while Dr. Jayant Ghiara (otherwise known as "Dr. G"), who teaches Human Reproduction, will give us insider information on sexual responses and how to push all the right buttons. The fun begins when "Dr. G" gives a half hour presentation on our sexual response areas. Crystal will then break out her gear and give us the interactive pass around of Passion Party toys, each on sale at the event. In the end, "everyone who wants something to bring home will be able to with some free gift bags and the opportunity to win larger prizes in the free raffle," said Cheyenne Barr, Director of Women's Issues. There will also be insightful and educational pamphlets covering topics as the history of sex toys, and information on the different types of material used to make sex toys and what's best for each individual. One interesting fact is that the oldest sex toy, discovered, made of stone, dates back to 25,000 B.C.E. Yet, if sex toys have been around so long, why is the topic still taboo? According to "The Invention of Heterosexuality," by Jonathan Katz, in the Victorian era, Women's sexuality was only permitted for procreation. They were to be "temples of purity against the monster masturbator." Then in 1860-1892, doctors began to tell men and women that eroticism was essential. Our society has come a long way since then, and having sex toy workshops on campuses, celebrating in public the freedom of sexuality for women and men, is a definite milestone. In the book "Feminism is for Everybody," author bell hooks explains that "many heterosexual men embraced feminist thinking precisely because they were unfulfilled sexually in relationships with their partners, who were not interested in sex because they had been taught virtuous women were not sexually active." The workshop helps women realize that their bodies aren't just for the pleasure of men, but that it is ok to pleasure yourself by shedding a positive light on women's sexuality. "Talking about sex toys, their different functions and applications, is a great way to talk about different ways of sex that deviate from our traditional heteronormative intercourse," says Josh Harris, last year's women's history month coordinator. The goal of the workshop, according to Cheyenne Barr, is "for students to feel comfortable with their sexual experiences and get to know the part that our general sex education always leaves put." The great thing about workshops like the one being held on campus, according to Passionparties.com, is that the fun environment helps women feel comfortable discussing their sexual health, dispelling some E gg D onors N eeded I mmediately D el D ios Bar & Grill §¡¡¡¡1 •fc through ? % 11:30 am Closed Tuesdays i ll ' Help Make Dreams C o m e True and E a r n $5,000 a n d Up 760-489-4800 Please visit our W e w b at www.extraconceptioris.com or : call .(oil-free j l l t W «7Ô«t837 for more details of the age-old myths surrounding sexuality, and learning ways to improve communication and build stronger relationships with their partners. The growing popularity of this modern twist of a Tupperware Party' is evident, as it has filled nearly to capacity the last three years. To explain why these sex toy workshops are making such an impact, Josh Harris said, "Personally, I was amazed at how comfortable the audience was with the subject matter. We had about 250 people in Arts 240, and when it came time for the Q & A portion, people were asking the most personal and private questions in front of 200 or so fellow students. Yet, no one seemed awkward about it. I think people enjoy being able to discuss these ideas when they feel they are in an encouraging, sex-positive environment." �On Campus: Renowned underground filmmaker An evening lost with George Kuchar BY JON THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Underground filmmaker, George Kuchar, held a brief seminar last Wed night in arts 242. Kuchar took the opportunity to screen some examples of his recent work as well as to confuse students with his abnormal wit. At least 50 films and hundreds of short videos bear Kuchar's name, earning him fame in America's "Underground" film movement, a genre some say Kuchar founded in the early 50's, along with artists like Andy Warhol and Jack Smith. Further investigation reveals an extensive account of George and his brother Mike Kuchar's work online at the "Bright Lights Film Journal" in an article by Jack Stevenson, "The Day the Bronx Invaded Earth, The Life and Cinema of the Kuchar Brothers." In this article, Stevenson describes the underground movement of t he 50s to date as "not a genre but an anti-genre. Underground was an image-negative term that refuted, denied, and disowned definition rather than encouraged it. A thing underground was a thing unseen, something ominously other happening in the darkness. The underground film movement was never more than a collection of individuals who never quite collected." Before the presentation began, Kuchar sat outside, fumbling through his bag of FREE mm f m jgmi gs miniDv tapes, reminiscent of a 94-yearold grandmother, absentmindedly shaking through a milk crate filled with old family pictures. Despite organizer Jonathon Behnan's concerns of "burning out his speaker before he hits thé stage," the average person might have wondered if perhaps Berman should worry more how 'burnt out' his speaker was. Kuchar began rambling out short explanations of the films he was considering screening andfinallydecided that he would "get a feel for the audience and then decide what films they would most enjoy/' When asked how he felt about the progression of cinematic production technology, and if perhaps elements of the audience, or the art form, were lost in the transition from his early works on 8mm film to his latest works done with modern editing and special effects, the answer had very little to do with the question, and was recited word for word about halfway through his seminar. Kuchar responded with a lengthy timeline of the equipment he worked with over the years: "I started out with an 8mm camera and had to do all on-camera editing." Soon, Kuchar says, he received a second 8mm camera and a tape deck. While this made editing a lot easier, and he no longer had to edit the films while he shot, he FIVE 39Days FIVE ! fgpi fg m # § p §$ B UY 1 M YSTIC I I e g T a n s I A N GET 1 F REE] » I jf% fps® mm jr I Unfiminted Level 1 i M YSTIC T ANS or I Premium Beds ULTRA T ANS i l#$25 J 00$39 ¡ 0#$49 J G o forall CUM od SS rI Im* G o fora8 CUM od SS student and faculty G o for ail CUM od SS sftidtent and fcetigy! mostly describes this step in technology as "a web of wires that went everywhere." Kuchar now works in the "computer age," where all editing and special effects are done on the computer. Kuchar's perspectives on technology were soon evident as he described the advancement of film technology as "learning how to push a different button." His personal choice in minDv cameras is a Sony 1 chip, which he selected because "a Japanese student told me those were good, and I figured they know what they're talking about with that stuff." Included in the showcase of his most recent films, Kuchar included his annual holiday film. This year's entry, entitled "Holiday Hang ups," stared Kuchar as himself, taking a trip back to his home in the Bronx to "visit his mother and friends." One audience memeber described Kuchar as "the homeless old guy in the park, who has lost his mind and falls off the park bench as he yells at you walking by," later adding, "what really confused me is why Berman invited this guy here when half the things he is describing and showcasing are things Berman teaches never to do with regard to film." The audience also watched "Heavenly Feature," Kuchar's yearly tribute to the weather of the Oklahoma southern plains. Kuchar describes this film as bringing him both recognition and controversy. The most recent entry features breathtaking footage of the sky and clouds, visions quite foreign to residents of southern California. These heavenly images where accompanied by appropriately scene-setting music, allowing the viewer to get lost in the clouds, if only for a brief time. The film concluded, as it had started, with Kuchar talking with his toy clown puppet, likely leaving many to wonder, as with the rest of his films, just what was missed as Kuchar went from the brilliances of the sky to his toy clown and his displays ofjuvenile schizophrenia. The overall message to be learned from Kuchar, as he puts it, is that "anyone with $12 and a camera can make a video or film." Perhaps the additional message is that, just because you have $12 and a camera, doesn't necessarily mean you should make a movie.

She will be expected to appear at different functions in and around the city for the coming year as a representative of San Marcos. With midterms approaching, and the city expecting her to appear at eight to ten events each month, most students would find it hard to juggle the two roles, student and representative. Ms. Sanchez; however, seems to have her priorities clear. "This [pageant] is what I'm doing now; school, that's for the rest of my life." When asked if her new obligations as Miss San Marcos interfered with her student obligations, she replied definitively that, "it interferes with getting a job, but not with school ... if I have to study I just call and cancel with [the city of San Marcos]." While she may now be dedicated to getting her education, that was not always the case for this student. "I just went to college because it's the 'thing you do' after highschool," Ms. Sanchez said, while discussing her reasons for attending CSU San Marcos. She also admits that, before attend- ing college, she was not an especially motivated learner in high school, "I visited the vice principal several times... that's where you go when you get in trouble." But once at CSU San Marcos, her outlook towards school changed drastically. While many students start with the basic sciences, then migrate towards seemingly easier majors later in their educational career, Pilar took the opposite approach. • During her Freshman year she found her niche in the biology department, after a brief stint as a Communication major, drawn to both pharmacology and molecular biology. When asked about the difficulty of her classes, her eyes lit up, "I like my classes... I enjoy my labs. "I love being able to know things [other] people don't know", she explained excitedly. She attributed some of her success as a student to CSUSM Experience, a program designed to help incoming freshmen adjust to the rigors of college life. "It was like training wheels for college ... I needed a helping hand." Now that she's also found a voice in the community, she wants to encourage others to follow her example. "I'm more motivated than I ever was before in my life... and I want to motivate others," she explains, "I wish people would appreciate what We have here more. We have Photo by David Bauer / The Pride a good business school, good professors, and the biology department is getting better." Besides feeling that the campus benefits students, she also believes that the school is great for the community. "It's great to see a younger group in San Marcos... younger and more si cz scholarly," which, in her opinion, is a great asset to the area. Two weeks after winning the pageant, with midterms lurking, many students would be overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the representative of a city, as well as a student. Pilar explains that she doesn't feel "under pressure from both" sides, but concedes that "maybe it hasn't hit me yet?' If she does feel overburdened, she shows no signs of it, seeming both confident and excited about her roles as both newly crowned Miss San Marcos and as a promising student at CSUSM.

My first column appeared on Feb. 17, 2004, and I have given my opinion on numerous topics. I have rarely used this outlet to facilitate arguments or comment on previous columns; however, today I feel it is necessary. In the past 10 days I have received an unusual amount of email accusing me of being sexist and homophobic. These accusations are because of the article published two weeks ago in which I wrote about the Winter Olympics. Much of the controversy has come about from this statement, "Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece outfit while dancing on ice to a song called, "The Swan", is not a sport. The biggest figure skating star is Johhny Weir, who should just add a "D" to his last name and call it a day." Interestingly enough, these accusations have all been made by women. Here are a few of my favorite statements. Jane Sanchez wrote this in a letter to the editor, "Figure skating is a sport. The outfits that the athletes wear and the songs they choose to skate to do not determine if it is a sport. Homophobia is implied with the comment about Johnny Wier. He is a male figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport that people may see feminine, yes, but it does not mean he is weird." Elke Mcfarlane seconded the comment from Sanchez, when she said, "Your remark about figure skating, in particular about Johnny Weir, could imply that you are homophobic." Frankly, people who take homophobia from my statement about Weir are the ones who are perpetuating the stereotype that all male ice skaters are homosexual. I didn't write anywhere in my article that I see ice skating as feminine. Sanchez and Mcfarlane are putting words in my mouth. I didn't say he was weird because he is a figure skater. Go read some of his statements about ice skating and tell me those aren't weird things to say about ice skating. If you got homophobia from my statement, then I suggest examining your own viewpoint. Sanchez continued to say, "Sport as defined in the book Sports in Society, by Jay Goakley, is 'an institutionalized competitive activity that involves rigorous physical exertion or the use of relatively complex physical skills by participants motivated by internal and external rewards.'" Sanchez tried to prove her point, but she is helping me prove my point. What I wrote was my opinion on what a sport is and isn't. The key word from the previous sentence is, "my opinion." What Sanchez stated from that book is also an opinion. What is a sport is completely up to each individual interpretation. This comment comes from Stefanie Zeltner who said, "Having never read any of your articles before, I certainly hope that your other articles are much better than this last one. You need to learn that you need to back up your articles with some thing called fact. Sexism and opinions on gender certainly don't count. Since when do journalists have a right to make f un of athletes?" Well Stefanie, if you had read some of the previous 47 columns that I have written for "The Pride," then you might not be calling me a sexist. On April 13, 2004,1 wrote an article advocating more recognition for female athletes and on Nov. 1,2005,1 stated this in an article, "It boggles my mind that people actually care whether or not a person. is gay." Also, regarding your concerns about sports journalists mocking athletes, go read T.J. Simers from the "LA Times" or go listen to Jim Rome on 1090 AM and your question will be answered. Also, regarding backing up my article with fact. I believe I did so when I said these Olympics were not a success in America since American Idol kicked the Olympics' butt in viewership. While you're at it, go look at the drop off in viewership from past Winter Olympics. I also received some comments regarding my feelings about events that are based on the opinion of judges. Zeltner. said, "You also said that ice skating should be considered a competition because the results are determined by the opinion of a judge. Hmmm ... sounds familiar ... who that has ever gone to a football game realized that the opinion of a judge (aka Referee) impacts the result of the game?" Melinda Hansen added this to Zeltner's argument, "These judges know the sport down to every detail. They have to fulfill a certain criteria prior to becoming a judge. They follow strict guidelines and are knowledgeable about technical maneuvers that often go unnoticed to viewers." Diane Nematbakhsh added this about judges, "The judging of sports in the Olympics is highly technical. Judges must go through training and certification before they can step on the Olympic Judging board." Zeltner's statement makes me think she has never seen a football game. Referees in football facilitate the game. They don't hand out 10 points for one type of touchdown and five points for a different type of touchdown, whereas ice skating judges do exactly that, solely based on their opinion. That is why different judges watching the same ice skater give different scores, because it's based on opinion. As for Hansen and Nematbakhsh statement's about judges, I know judges have an extensive knowledge of ice skating, but they still dish points out based on opinion and the event is solely in their hands to determine who wins. Don't you remember the ice skating judging controversy in the previous Olympics where some of the judges were found to be fixing the event? Let's take a short break with a bit of a brain teaser. You can find the answer at the bottom of this column once you're done reading. Do you know what you get if you take away the skates from ice skaters? I have just a few more points before you find that answer. To all the readers who took offense to my Winter Olympics column, learn to laugh and take enjoyment in life because life is way too short to take things seriously 24/7/365.1 mean, I started that column off with, "Dear NBC." Did you honestly think that was a real letter I sent to NBC? It's called being satirical. Finally, I will not continue this conversation through this newspaper. I have always told emailers that they can meet me in person to discuss issues they have with me. To this day, no one has taken me up on that offer. I won't continue the argument in future columns because there is no way you can beat me in the paper because I have a column and you don't ... neener, neener, neener. That was a joke. Apparently I have to say that after every joke I make because some people take everything literally. 0nceagain,myemailissando026@csusm. edu and you probably realize now that I will print what you say so you might want to think twice. Here is the answer to the brain teaser: You get, "Dancing with the Stars" when you take the skates away from the ice skaters. Don't dare tell me that you consider that a sport. That was a joke so please don't send an email saying I have a phobia of celebrities who like to dance. shoe rental, pizza and prizes forfirstand second place b o w l e r s .

BY NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer Ron Pulvers expects superior performance New CSUSM soccer coach brings impressive resume BY ALEX GARIN Pride Staff Writer Ron Pulvers, the coach of Cal State San Marcos premiere soccer team, is accustomed to winning. Pulvers galvanized his reputation as a winning coach at Baker University and led the Wildcats to five conference championships, three conference tournament championships, and also claimed two regional championships. In addition, he has coached fourteen players who went on to become "AllAmericans," and was named conference coach of the year four times and regional coach of the year in 2002. Pulvers has won over 100 games in his career in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and has never experienced a sub .500 season. This impressive record enabled him to scramble above a very competitive applicant pool, to become Cal State San Marcos first ever soccer coach. "Ron rose to the top of a highly competitive applicant pool. He brings with him an impressive coaching resume," said athletic director Dr. Terry Nichols, in a written statement. His career began humbly at Midwestern University in Wichita Falls Texas. However, his enthusiastic approach to the game of soccer enabled him to quickly ascend to a position as Head Coach of Baker University's soccer program in Baldwin, Kan. in 1996. Pulvers looks at his days at Baker University fondly. "I can not say enough great things about Eastern Kansas," says Pulvers. "The people of Kansas are top class, the cities are resourceful, and the overall quality of life is very high." However, he looks forward to coaching in his native Southern Californian atmosphere. Pulvers' new move will mark a transitional point in his career as a soccer coach and his life in general. He is relo- eating from a well-established soccer program to one in its infancy. Nevertheless, Pulvers is optimistic about the climate of the Cal State San Marcos athletic department and sees great potential. "The talent level is greater and the student-athlete pool is deeper in Southern California," Pulvers says. Despite his optimism, Pulvers recognizes that he will run into some initiatory problems. "The biggest task is to get the facilities established for the whole athletic department." Pulvers further stated, "The winning culture and the environment at CSU San Marcos are going to have to be established." The Cal State San Marcos inaugural soccer season will not start until the fall, however, Pulvers keeps himself occupied by recruiting and training candidates for the new soccer teams. He has never had a losing season before and plans to keep his reputation as a winning soccer coach intact here at Cal State. Pulvers is spending his first preseason scouting and recruiting players on an invitational basis, but will hold an open tryout for inspiring athletes at a yet to be determined date. In a written statement regarding his move, Pulvers says, "I share the excitement of the university in the growth and development of a new era in athletics. It is my goal to develop an exciting brand of soccer that will produce student-athletes who represent the university with class, character and spirit." He hopes to add some new additions to his trophy shelf in upcoming years and displays an uncanny enthusiasm for the sport. Pulvers will coach against Paul Caligiuri's Cal Poly Pomona teams during his first time on the Cal State sideline. Caligiuri has played in for the United States in two World Cups and was inducted into the soccer Hall of Fame. The highly anticipated season opener will be held on Friday, August 25 at 5:30 p.m. �Golf team misses previous coach BY BRITTANY GOEHRING Special to The Pride The CSUSM Cougar's golf teams lost Coach Hanover two days before the 2005 fall semester began. He was placed on administrative leave, according to President Haynes, at the request of Athletics. When the teams met for the f irst time last semester at a mandatory meeting, we were instructed by the Athletic Director NOT to have any contact with Coach Hanover. We were told that he was not under suspension for sexual harassment or misappropriation of f unds, but rather had been placed on leave due to a personnel conflict in the Physical Education Department. This conflict placed the Women's Golf team in jeopardy, and we were directly and negatively affected by his removal. Several players have considered leaving the team due to conflicting coaching strategies that have more or less found the team scrambling for leadership. The ladies have been kept in the dark pertaining to the allegations against Coach Hanover. Letters have been sent to the President's Office in his behalf. We as a team have collectively attempted to meet with President Haynes' office since last semester, to no avail. We were told that the president is very busy and not always available to speak with students regarding their concerns. Even parents have tried contacting the President's Office, only to have their questions referred to the Athletic Director's (A.D.) office. It just seems like nothing is being done to keep the program together the way it was prior to Coach Hanover's removal. Finally, a fter repeated requests, we have now been granted an appointment with the president to express our concerns. But all along the A.D.'s office, which is in charge of this investigation, has attempted to p acify us with statements of support for Coach Segura, and to d iffuse our support for Coach Hanover. These actions by the A.D. have caused the team to be split, and any type of comradery which we had in the past has been undermined by this conflict. We will continue our efforts to get Coach Hanover back until justice is done. Last month the first days of Coach Hanover's arbitration hearing were held and the A.D. gave his side of the story. The A.D. who is in charge of filing this discipline against our coach is also the Cougar's liaison to the President's Office. We , • as students and athletes, are concerned over this procedure. How can that be possible? Isn't that a conflict of interest? What code of ethics is the Athletic Department operating under? Are we the only ones to see that the A.D. representing the president at the hearing is not right? The plight of our team is serious, and our season is at great risk. Coach Hanover needs our support and we need his expertise in running a successful golf program. This is why we are requesting an end to the deliberation, a decision be made, and the program facilitators bring back Fred Hanover. We will fight to the end to make our voices heard and to let everyone know what is really going on here. We do appreciate CSUSM as an outstanding institution of higher education, but what's happening in the golf program these days teaches all of us the wrong lesson. Bumper Oars: College Edition BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer The student population at CSUSM is split into two main categories, the day students and the evening students. Between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., the two crowds collide into a chaotic dance I've entitled, "The Parking Lot War." There are three basic characters in this dance. The "Hunter" stalks prey with their vehicle, hoping to swoop in on the prey's parking spot. If the prey wanders too far from the Hunter's desired parking range, the Hunter speeds off in search of new prey to creep up on and leaves the old prey inhaling exhaust fumes. The "Chicken King" parks his or her car at the beginning of the desired parking aisle. The Chicken King claims the aisle by refusing to move until a car pulls out of a parking spot he or she deems desirable. If other cars in search of parking spots pull up behind the Chicken King, or if a car parks at the end of the parking aisle, the Chicken King will hold his or her ground and refuse to budge. If the car at the end of the aisle refuses to budge as well, the game of "chicken" commences. Once a car pulls out of a spot that the Chicken King and the challenger would like to park in, engines rev and it's a mad dash to get to the parking spot first, pull in, and park. Lastly, there's the "Snake" parker. This person scavenges the parking lot in search of another parker waiting patiently for a car to pull out of a spot. As soon as the person pulls out, the Snake pulls into the stall from the other direction, nonchalantly parks his or her car and walks to class, ignoring the words of f ury the patient parker hurls at him or her. The various prey have learned methods to try and distract or avoid the Hunter, Chicken King, and Snake. They can weave in and out of parked vehicles to confuse parkers or pretend to be near a vehicle that is their own then, as a parker approaches, walk away towards either another pretend vehicle or to their actual vehicle. Prey can also sit in their vehicle for fifteen minutes or however long it takes the waiting parker to give up, and then pull out of the parking spot as the parker impatiently speeds off. Each parking aisle is probably 10 feet in distance from the next aisle. There are about six aisles in any given campus parking lot. Is it really more strenuous having to walk 20 more feet to get a parking spot rather than driving around for 30 minutes trying to find one "closer"? Of course there are exceptions, and I understand not everyone is in the best condition to walk more than necessary. If everyone parks at the first stall they see instead of "cherry picking" for stalls 10 feet closer to the campus, there would be more spots available for the exceptions that really do need to park closer, and there'd be less parking lot anxiety build up. So if you're a Hunter, Chicken King, or Snake, maybe you need to re-evaluate why parking 10 feet closer is more important than getting to class on time.

The lighting is dim to keep a serene feeling and the chance to relax while enticing aromas permeate every corner of the restaurant. While the food cooks the server creates an oil-based dressing for the fresh bread right at the table. Entrées come steaming fresh while the servers wait nearby to offer fresh pepper and grated parmesan. The Manager, Denise Arthur, encourages customers to try new dishes with the foreknowledge that one can order a new dish if the former wasn't to their liking. That afternoon I was there with a friend, and Ms. Arthur urged her to be adventurous and try a new dish. My friend, being a picky eater, obliged, only to find that after one bite she'd rather stick with plain alfredo. Arthur BY KATRENA ROBINSON Pride Staff Writer Just as Italian is the language of love, Italian cuisine is the food of romance. Well, maybe not officially, but it's definitely scrumptious. Luckily, there's a little bit of Italy right down the street on San Marcos Blvd. and Grand, called Johnny Carino's. Upon entering, I noticed the seating was plentiful and diverse with options such as comfy bar seats, four cornered tables, open booth tables, and curtains that can be pulled for privacy. As I enjoyed my cuisine, bubbly waiters and waitresses stoppeci by to ensure that everything was well. Soft music drifted out of the overhead speakers to set the mood, yet if you listened closely you'd notice it wasn't Italian music. laughed, happy that she tried it, and brought her a new dish. The manager's lighthearted and animated presence created an enjoyable experience as she hustled from table to table, joking and making sure everyone was taken care of. As busy as the restaurant gets, it manages to remain spotless in the dining room and bathroom. The heavy wooden doors and wicker baskets gave the restaurant a cozy atmosphere. Johnny Carino's effortlessly promotes an experience of being not in a restaurant, but over at a friend's house. The customer can feel comfortable and relaxed, with prices ranging from only about $10 for main courses and about $7 for appetizers. The food is amazing, customer service is excellent, and the atmosphere brings it all together. Photo by Erin Young / The Pride C D or see it: Student concert guide BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer For less than the price of an average CD, kids can bring their live-band-loving friends to San Diego for a smorgasbord of punk shows; besides, who buys their music these days? On Sunday, March 12, New Jersey band " Saves Day" will be playing the House of Blues, along with Circa Survive, Moneen, and Pistolita. For $15 you can see this amazing set of musicians play, previewing their new album, due out in April. Their soft sound and distinct acoustic melodies have been around since 1998, and their music varies and improves with time. If you are a secret emo fanatic, you will gladly be a part of this crowd. Closer to Saint Paddy's Day, you will find something a little darker at Soma. "Black Dahlia Murder," named after the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, the "Black Dahlia" has a sound to match their name. Those in desperate need of a good scream need to show up at the main stage at 7 p.m. to witness this "melodic death metal" in person. Their show also includes Throwdown, The Red Chord, and The Agony Scene. The event is on Friday and will cost you $13, a small price to pay to bring the morbid and deliciously dark side of you out to play. If you are looking for a place where you can find an addictive chorus, genuinely sentimental lyrics, amazingly fresh riffs, with just the hint of a good scream, then Soma will also be the place for you on Wednesday, March 22. Emery, a band full of "Southern Carolina boys," wanting nothing more than to pour their hearts out on stage, will be playing this venue -with Anberlin, Far Less, The Classic Crime, and Jonezetta. For $13 you can hear songs such as Ponytail Parade, Walls, and The Secret on the main stage. Scrounging up the $8 would be worth it to catch The Higher along with Lydia, Those Green Eyes, and Killing Moon, on Thursday March 30. Their instantly likable sound will pull you in and k eep Their sound takes on an emo feel, yet something is different. Their bassist Jason Centero has a background in hip-hop and R&B, so they bring a whole new backbeat to the typical emo sound. They also touch slightly on a techno sound, which fits surprisingly well into their set. If you want to hear some music you can relax to, this is the perfect way for you to end your week. Those nights of boredom this March don't have to mean logging on to myspace anymore. Live shows are the perfect cheap and accessible night out. If you are interested in any of the shows mentioned, you can find more information at both hob.com and Somasd.com.

Rated PG-13, Running time 105 minutes. How To... Satisfy lato night cravings BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer After a long night out dancing, socializing, drinking or heaven forbid, studying, there is nothing better then seeking out your neon sign of choice. That's right, the infamous 2 a.m. food run. There's nothing more satisfying then finding your own personal brand of solitude in a paper wrapper. We are all guilty of giving i n to our growling stomachs, regardless of what time it is, and heading out to our favorite eatery for greasy foods we all adore. Sorry, but peanut butter and jelly on white, you just don't cut it when it comes to a late night cravings. So where do you go when the clock strikes 2 and the bar is closing? Well, the students here at Cal State San Marcos had their own ideas about their late night oasis. However their tastes didn't stray far from one student to the next. The places we absolutely cannot live without in the middle of the night are taco shops (what would we do without them?) and Denny's. Now, everyone has his or her favorite taco shop. Alberto's, Albertacos, Antonio's. What is not to like? Burritos that weigh as much as your head, long lines of college students eagerly awaiting their fix of choice, menus that are bright enough to burn your retinas for a good ten minutes, and the voice behind the box that never, ok almost never, gets your order right. It is pure heaven. So why do we endure the conditions of the ever-busy taco shop? Where else can you show up with a dollar and a smile and leave completely happy? After speaking with a few of our midnight munching males and females here on campus, I found that I was not the only one involved in a romantic liaison with the California burrito from Santana's Mexican Grill on San Marcos and Pacific. "Santana's fulfills every void in your stomach at the wee hours of the morning," said Adam Bishop. "The California burrito rocks my socks." There is also the famous known green and yellow sign which we have all searched desperately for in the middle of the night. The nearest Denny's to campus, on San Marcos Blvd., can provide any gung-ho breakfast fanatic with a greasy slice of heaven they Photos by Erin Young / The Pride desire. "Denny's $3.99 Grand Slam, you get everything on one plate," said Jeremy Decker. The Grand Slam includes two buttermilk pancakes, two eggs any style, toast, and two pieces of bacon and sausage. Denny's has something to offer for everyone, including meat lovers, traditional country biscuits and gravy, and don't forget the Fabulous French Toast Platter. From the 24hr drive thru at the McDonald's at Knoll and San Marcos, to the Winchell's Donuts on Valley Parkway in Escondido, we all have our own recipe for the gut-bomb we so desire. So, the next time you need to kill that craving, keep these fine late night dining establishments in mind. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What was once a tangled mass of steel girders and plastic cover sheets last year has been replaced by a bustling collection of professor's and department's offices with stylish, modern classrooms. It's sudden, and to some, unexpected appearance was followed by a flurry of gossip and nay-saying rumors by staff and students, some of whom had still heard little or no official news about the new building. During the fall 2005 semester, many students remained unaware, or at least unmoved, by the large and active construction See PARKING, page 3 See BUSINESS, page 5 mmo mim$pmxtmMmm ' irsoi m*im m^^^w « S j -«^ggj ÍifMMkriÉíiiÉil láiíiniiíaii í " T T T I — T |ïïiflTn 11 ~ W mmm.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Allies , Student Organization keeps a low profile to avoid risks of being further alienated from campus life. The LGBTA has been active on campus for about three years and has about approximately five to ten active members. Even for a smaller campus,fiveactive members is noticeably low. One explanation for this lack of participation, according to the LGBTA members, is due to many students, who identify or associate with the LGBTA, feeling reluctant to 'come out' to other students. "Our campus is not a safe space to be out," said Anne Els- bree, faculty advisor for LGBTA. notice that an event like a mock Students may be creating a hos- gay wedding would be considtile environment without even ered more hazardous than a gun realizing it, commented Elsbree. fair.

As for hate crimes on campus, By his understanding, LBGTA "we haven't really had any," said President Albert Gengaling takes Miller. There have been three incidents involving minority groups in the last two years, all recorded as 'minor'.'The most recent was written in ink in a men's restroom. It is still unclear what the vandal meant by the words, "sauce bag". Another incident was afightin the parking lot of a Women's Studies dance that took place almost a year ago. The LGBTA's banner was also stolen. Other than these reported incidents, the University Police Department does not have an extensive record of hate crimes committed on campus. While the LGBTA students may feel uncomfortable on campus, there haven't been any official threats. "I don't have any reason to believe that LGBTA students are at a higher risk of mistreatment, however, if anyone has something to report, we'd gladly take it," said Miller. Perhaps awareness is as much a factor as reluctance, suggests CSUSM student, Heather McKown. "I've never heard of it(LGBTA), but I would definitely go to a gender bender."

Counseling was selected for the month of February, thefirstmonth of the series, because a majority of the Human Development majors have an emphasis in counseling. The free lectures that the club sponsors are designed to show students their career options, and to help direct them through their necessary steps. The events are typically either fundraisers or activities designed to contribute to a community.

The club is also looking into volunteering at The Woman's Resource Center in Oceanside, and hopes to give a about students speeding through Lot E in order to make it to the back lot, Lot H. The Parking and Transportation Service Office, which is located in the middle of both Lot E and H, have seen pedestrians nearly hit and have witnessed intense disputes over parking. With an increased number of spots taken away from the students, many anticipate that even more competition over what little parking is now available to students. "They're slowly kicking us all out to the dirt lot," said Gal State San Marcos student, Brittany Thomas. Another CSUSM student, Kristina Moore, expressed her disapproval stating, "The faculty have a whole other lot, Lot E, and it's never full."

For aflatdiscounted fee of $25 dollars, students can receive help with vehicle unlocks, dead batteries, and spare tire mountings. By contacting University Police, through either any campus phone, or using the blue emergency phones which are always a direct line to campus police, located in every parking lot, students can be connected with Red Line Towing. Red Line will respond promptly to the parking lot within approximately 20 minutes. Students will have to decide for themselves the value of this service, due to the large fee of $25 for simpler services like unlocking a vehicle. Nonetheless, if a student is running late and lacks both the capacity and desire to change your spare or jump a battery, $25 is a small price to pay. "I don't think I would ever personally use the service, while my girlfriend will no doubt be calling regularly," said student Anthony Calloway. He continued to say that "If she (Calloway's girlfriend) spent $25 getting Red Line to unlock her doors, instead of calling me for her spares, I think ! would be a little upset at her wasting the money." "Red Line Towing has not been placed on any type of retainer fee paid by the university; this is just the best deal we found for students, after we shopped around for services in the area," mentioned Lieutenant Doug Miller of the University Police Department. Students should keep in mind that the person receiving the services will befinanciallyresponsible for all work done, at the time services are rendered. So far, there has been a negative response from students concerning the sixteen spots now designated for the faculty and staff. Despite the negative remarks, Holmes remains hopeful for the future. By Fall 2006, there will be a new lot added next to Lot H and it will be general parking for students. Eventually, Campus View Drive, the street leading to Lot E, will continue south, wrapping behind the faculty parking lot. "The new lot will be called Lot F, and it will include about 1500 new spaces," said Holmes. She also added that students will have to go through that new lot in order to gain access to Lot H. Drivers will not be able to access Lot H through Lot E. Hopefully, this new change will not be a huge inconvenience for students, especially those who are night students, added Holmes. Thankfully, in the near future students can look forward to a new student lot that will alleviate the troubles of having to share the few available spaces.

In the past, dances have been hosted at the Escondido Center for Performing Arts as well as Pechanga Casino, but when planning for this years' event, Schroeder anticipated that it would be fun to party in a 'club-like' venue rather than a formal one. "Hard Rock Café was fun, but the maximum capacity is 50," said Schroeder. "Canes has the same kind of environment and vibe as Hard Rock Café, yet Canes holds up to 800 people." The Spring Fling is free to CSUSM students with a valid student ID, courtesy of ASI funding. Guests are welcome to attend for a nominal fee of $5. All attendees must obtain tickets in advance to attend, since tickets will not be sold or available at the door. "Students are advised to get their tickets ASAP," suggested Schroeder. The last day to get tickets is Thursday, March 9, at 4:00 p.m. "It is important for students to know the name on the ticket must match an ID RESEARCH,frompage 1 tion will be held simultaneously in three separate rooms. Biological research and other sciences will be held in UNIV 257, psychology in UNIV 237, and all other presentations in UNIV 373. Judges are chosen based on their areas of expertise, aligning judges appropriately with the subject matter in the projects, said Collins. Immediately after the competition, the judges will compile scores and select finalists, which will be announced on March 6. CSUSMfinalistsare determined by the same criteria used for the state competition. The written and oral aspects of the research projects are evaluated via the following criteria: clarity Of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation of results, value of the research or creative activity, ability of the presenter to articulate the research or creative activity to a card upon entering," added Schroeder. As for the dress code, "there is no strict dress code for this event," said Schroeder; however, Schroeder suggests dressing in clublike attire or appropriately for such a special event. Although Canes is a bar, the event is not only for the 21 and up crowd. All students are welcome to attend, regardless of age. Alcoholic beverages will be available for students 21 and over, at the cash bar, at the student's expense. Non-alcoholic beverages and food are free. Food will include: pizza, quesadillas with sour cream, mini taquitos, caliente wings, chicken fingers, chips and salsa, with fresh vegetable and cheese and cracker trays. "We are going to have some great DJs that will make everyone wanna get out on the dancefloor,"said Schroeder. So bring comfortable shoes, because according to Schroeder, "we're going to dance the night away!" wide audience, organization of the material presented, and the presenter's ability to handle questions from the jury and the general audience, said Collins. Finalists of the campus competition will receive a certificate of recognition, a $50 cash award, and a paid trip to the state competition at CSU Channel Islands. The state competition will be held on May 5 and 6. Students will not receive academic credit for participating in the competition; however, statefinalistsdo receive a cash award. "The purpose of the competition is to recognize outstanding student accomplishments in scholarly research and creative activity," said Collins. "Participating in the competition is prestigious. It is an excellent experience for the researcher, and gives them a very significant experience to list on their resume. Some of our participants are using this in their applications for doctoral programs throughout the country." Matthew Spears, a Cai State San Marcos senior and literature and writing studies major, won second place in last year's state competition in the "Humanities and Letters" section, the undergraduate division, for his research project titled: "The Canonicity of Cliché: Idiomatic Language and Formulaic Diction in Beowulf and the Heaney Translation", with Lance Newman as his faculty mentor. Spears received a $200 cash award and a certificate. "I had a great time, of course!" mentioned Spears. "The application wasn't all that difficult, since I had already had an idea of what research I was going to submit -the idea for my paper wasfromwork I had done before in a class. The competition here on campus was relaxed and low-key, and to tell you the truth, I really didn't feel all that nervous. I was one of thefinalistsselected to go to the statewide competition and that was an enjoyable experience as well. There is a little question & answer session at the end of every presentation (as there is in the competition here), but it's really easier than you think because you quickly discover that you know more about the topic of your research than they do," said Spears. This year, there are 28 students participating in the campus-wide competition, a significant increase from last year's 13 participants. According to Collins, there were over 190 students representing the 22 CSU campuses in attendance at last year's state competition. The students competed in 22 different divisions. "We are thrilled with the response to this year's competition. Not only did we double the number of entrants, but we received submissions from areas that were not represented last year," said Collins. "We really would like to* have people see this as a venue for showcasing research from allfieldsof study." Finalists from last year's competition will be hosting this year's campus competition, and will be available in each room to answer questions and solicit advice. "First, don't be afraid to apply - all you have to do is submit a 5 page paper, and then give a 10 minute presentation, which I might add, is in front of a friendly audience that wants you to succeed," explained Spears. "Second, once you're actually in the competition, make sure to have some fun with it. See it as an opportunity to have some fun, show off some of the great research you've conducted in your classes while a student at CSUSM, and as a way to practice your public speaking, which will be important when you have a job." The campus competition is open to the public, and free of charge.

It can now be located behind and between the University and Academic Hall buildings, yet is only fully visible from near the FCB building, and the Palm Court. Perhaps its obscured location added to student interest in the project as rumors circulated. During its construction, gossip spread that it would take several more years than the official estimate to finish, and once it had been 'completed,' new rumors surfaced that the project was rushed and that the building did not yet meet the necessary building codes. These allegations came as a surprise to David Dennis, project manager with the University's Office of Planning, Design and Construction. Construction on Markstein Hall actually began in May of 2004 and was finished early January 2006, just a few weeks before classes began. While the project was finished three months earlier than the originally projected date of completion in May 2006, Dennis claims that it was built "in about average time" for a project of its size and complexity. "It's 99.9% complete" he said, "we just need to finish the punch list," referring to the list of minor and non-crucial repairs and replacements for the building, such as paint touch ups and landscaping. Rumors of professors forced prematurely into partially built offices seemed a far cry from the experience of Michael Pass, professor of Marketing, who teaches two classes and enjoys his new office in Markstein Hall. "It's wonderful," Professor Pass said in reference to the building. "It's far more professional looking." He also can't recall any negative experiences moving in, or any sense that the building wasn't complete. And with regards to his new office: "it's great, better than the other buildings on campus." This sentiment was echoed by Political BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Markstein Hall, a modern and professional design. Science professor Anthony O'Halloran, who also has an office in the new building. "I can't recall anything not being completed ... and this office is much better than any I would have had back in Ireland," he remarked. Many students have also been enjoying the new building, and most agreed that the new class room's "Harvard Case" design-with large hardwood desks in a tiered, semicirclelike amphitheater with the professor in the middle-created a more "professional environment". Of course, not everyone admired the décor. One student, who did not wish to be named, commented on the industrial-style corrugated metal facades, saying "it looks like the inside of a Chipotle [restaurant]". Another student wryly remarked that the hallways on the second and third floors were quite narrow, but that the fourthfloor'shallways (where the Photo by Z achary J. Simon / The Pride dean's office is located) were much more spacious. Overall, though, the allegations of an inadequate or incomplete facility have been silenced since its opening, and in their place there seems to be a general sense of satisfaction and pride in the new facility. "My wife is coming to help me hang pictures tonight... I'm going to use it as an excuse to show off the classes," Professor Pass said. With students and professors both pleased with the facility, one can only hope that this model will be followed for future campus projects. Current construction projects such as the remodeling of Craven Hall, whose interior was widely considered confusing and inefficient by staff and students alike, would be extremely well received. Quite likely, however, before anyone gets a chance to see how that project turns out, there will be plenty of time for the staff and students to speculate on it. Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase "lord of another man's purse" to refer to the title of those with steady paying habits. UCSD professor, David Vickers, refuted this argument in his Feb. 16 presentation on the history of US debt. The problem of personal borrowing in the creation of personal debt was the focal point of Dr. Vickers' lecture. He explained to his audience, mixed of CSUSM students and faculty, the many layers to this issue, as well as a comparison of credit in colonial days versus the present. Vickers, originally from Canada, described the most common reasons that people borrow in today's society, such as emergencies, investments, better living, and of course, school. People today also have the ability to borrow based on their demonstration of great payment history (credit score) and steady income flow.

To help get through tough times, faculty and staff took a pay freeze. Students saw fees skyrocket along with class sizes. Sections were cancelled. Advising appointments took months to get. The economy finally started to recover this year, but instead of putting new resources in the classrooms, the Trustees spent $1.2 million on huge raises for top administrators. They could have used that money to offer 262 more sections that would enroll 10,000 students. After ail, the housing allowance for presidents is more than the yearly pay of many professors! To top it all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the Trustees want to raise them again-10% per yearforthe next four years. The CSU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline! Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the CSU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and Job security. They want to get rid of reliable cost-of-living raises for faculty who are already underpaid. They want to dump three-year contracts for lecturers, making them scramble for work every semester. And they want to gut the FERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the courses students need. We can't let the CSU administration destroy our school and our jobs! And the only way to stop them is if students, staff, and faculty unite to say, "No more cutsi Rebuild the CSU!"

The celebration has come to epitomize wild images of insouciant dancing, drinking and exotic exhibition. Other less risque aspects include beads, masks, Cajun food and plastic-baby King Cakes. One may therefore be surprised to learn some of its stricter religious origins. According to World Book Encyclopedia online, Mardi Gras celebrations date back to ancient Roman customs ofmerrymaking and feasting before a period of religious fasting. Held on the day before the Catholic holiday of "Lent," Mardi Gras' actual date depends on the date of Easter, thus why the celebration occurs predominantly where Catholicism has enjoyed influence. This year, Mardi Gras will take place on February 28, as the date is always set 46 days before Easter. Mardi Gras, which means Tat Tuesday' in French, may have received its name from the French custom of parading a fat ox through towns and villages on Shrove Tuesday. In Germany, the holiday is called "Fastnacht," while the English call it "Pancake Day". The tradition ofMardi Gras wasfirstintroduced to America by French colonists in the early 1700's. It became very popular in New Orleans, later branching out to other southern states. In Alabama, Florida, and several counties in Louisiana, Mardi Gras is a 'legal' (often incarnated as 'bank') holiday. To this day the most famous Mardi Gras celebration has been held in New Orleans and it attracts tourists from around the world. Social organizations, called 'krewes,' manage andfinancethe parades and other festivities. Mardi Gras is actually one day, but is preceded by a weeks-long carnival season whose theme changes each year. During this 'Carnival Season,' balls, parties, parades, and feasting are especially popular. Mardi Gras then signifies the climax and culmination of this season. On Ash Wednesday, religious party-goers will sober up and begin preparation for Lent and Easter. Even with its modern popularity, Mardi Gras has managed to maintain its symbolic roots. Two of the most popular traditions associated with Mardi Gras are King Cakes and die tossing of trinkets. King Cakes are ring-shaped pastries usuallyfilledwith cinnamon andfrostedwith icing and tri-colored sprinkles. Purple, yellow and green sprinkles were meant to represent justice and faith. A miniature plastic-baby is inserted into one of Photos courtesy ofwww.mardigrasday.com Masked 'krewe' members toss trinkets to Mardi Gras crowd. the cakes and whoever happens to get that piece with the baby inside will be elected to host the next party or will often become King/Queen of the celebration. Another popular tradition during Mardi Gras is the tossing and receiving of trinkets. Masked krewe members ride on the parade floats and toss various types of trinkets to the crowds. Such items can rangefromplastic-beaded necklaces and faux doubloons to plastic cups and hats. Just shout. "Throw me some beads, mister" and you too can go home with bags full of these coveted Mardi Gras souvenirs. Contrary to popular lore, getting coveted Mardi Gras beads does not require revealing certain body parts. "There is so much thrown that there is no way you are not going to go home with a bag full of goodies," said Arthur Hardy, an author and television personality, during an interview with National Geographic magazine. According to Hardy, the notorious practice of "flashing" for beads has nothing to do with the real spirit ofMardi Gras, and will only be found among young people who feel they have license to behave in such a manner.

The presentation consisted of no real visual aids other than Benjamin Franklin's coined term scribbled onto the white board of University Hall 100. Vickers led off his discussion with a comparison of the historical contexts and concepts of debt that are prevalent in today's society. In colonial times, farmers utilized a credit system not entirely unlike the practices of our country in present day. A man could borrow services or equipment from any of his neighbors and in return he would repay this loan through services as well as with food or the lending of tools. In a system like this, each man worked in accordance with a face-to-face agreement made between borrower and lender. Such agreements were hard to renegotiate, credit transactions carried little interest, and loans had less of an urgency for payback, thus loans had a much longer life span. "The only indication to a farmer's neighbors that he could be trusted was his word; words carried much more weight in a primarily barter economy," explained Vickers. Today, the practice of borrowing and lending is a bit more complicated. Debts are negotiated between a computer screen and a human, making them much less personal. Terms of a loan can be renegotiated at almost any time with little to no sense of connection or attachment between lender or borrower. This in turn adds a sense of unpredictability to the process of lending and borrowing, givingriseto consumer burial beneath bills, bills, and more bills. When Vickers concluded his presentation he opened thefloorto questions from the audience where he discussed issues such as the necessity versus the option of establishing credit. Vickers appeared entirely receptive to the constructive feedback and positive audience reactions, closing with a statement that he would rethink and further develop some of the claims in his study. �Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer The past three weeks from American athletes haven'texactly been the high point in our country's long history of sports, and I am not just talking about the Winter Olympics. American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, however, typifies exactly what's wrong with American athletes. In the past 15 years, American athletes have come across this mentality of preferring to look cool losing than winning in a boring fashion. For those of you who have shunned the Winter Olympics because the paint drying channel is more entertaining, here is what the proud American did. Jacobellis was competing in the Women's Snowboard Cross, which is basically a race down a hill against three other risktakers. Early into the medal race the three other riders lost control and Jacobellis had the race won if she just stayed on her board. Being the true American that she is, however, she felt the need to attempt a trick on the final jump right before the finish line. Mind you, in this event the only thing that counts is crossing the finish line. Of course, she bombs her trick and falls down which allows one of her competitors the time to pass her up and cause Jacobellis to get silver. Again, in true American style, she tried to lie about what she was trying to do. In the interview right after the event, she claimed that she needed balance so she grabbed her board in mid air to do so, but she didn't know if she wanted to do method air or indie air. In that situation neither was necessary. She didn't have to touch the board. When Bob Costas interviewed her I wanted to jump through the TV because she downplayed the whole thing, talking about how she was glad to get a medal and what matters to her is that she will always be known as an Olympian. I would like, for just once, an American athlete to go in front of a camera and just say, "I screwed up," or "I don't know what I was thinking, but it was stupid." I have met a few American Olympians, some who have won gold and some who have won silver, and those who have won silver have admitted they screwed up, but they didn't screw up because of showboating, like Jacobellis. The thing that bugs me more than people not taking responsibility for their own actions is people who don't realize how fortunate they are to be where they are. Barry Bonds, Ricky Williams, and Sammy Sosa all hit a nerve with the American public the past few weeks. Bonds spent all last week complaining about being a baseball player. Oh boo hoo Mr. Roid, poor you, you have to swing a bat and throw a ball for a living. He spent last week saying that this is going to be his last season, then saying he isn't quite sure, then saying he doesn't care about being 47 home runs away from the all-time home run record and then saying, "ouch my body hurts." Seriously, who complains about getting paid to play a sport for a living? Well, I guess it isn't as bad as turning down money to play a sport. Sammy Sosa may not be an American athlete, but he sure acts like one. Sosa had only one offer from a MLB club to play baseball this season and that was a one year contract for 500,000 dollars from the Washington Nationals. Sosa went on to say that it was offensive to be offered such little money. How many of you would be insulted if someone threw 500 grand at you to play baseball? There are many MLB players who can't get a contract, like the sultan of syringes, Jose Canseco, who would play catch with a live hand grenade for that kind of money. The dumbest athlete last week had to be Tommy Chong's doobie double from "Up in Smoke", Ricky Williams, when he was notified that he is facing a year suspension because it seems as though he failed a fourth drug test. Apparently, Ricky likes green plants more than green paper because I've lost count of how much money he's lost with these failed drug tests. If this suspension goes through, his career is likely over because the NFL isn't too keen on running backs over 30 years old that would rather light up a joint than light up the scoreboard. Even the potheads who heard about this story were like, "Dude, you're giving us a bad name." Of course they barely just got word about it yesterday. Finally, the kicker of them all doesn't involve an American athlete, but he is Canadian, so geographically it's close enough. Of late, Wayne Gretzky looks as bad as a crack addict, due to the stress of not medaling in the Winter pi%pp 1 mm «| m m mm Olympics, losing his mom and grandmother in a three week span, and the realization that his assistant coach and wife were caught up in an illegal gambling ring. As time consuming as those first three things are, how can you not know your wife and best friend are gambling hundreds of thousands of dollars? Also, the one thing I find most interesting about this situation is that generally women don't have severe gambling problems. It is usually males who are prone to betting thousands of dollars at the drop of a puck. It is usually male athletes who find people to make bets for them so there isn't a paper trail to their name. As a male athlete, who do you trust more than your own wife? Enough said. I wish some of these people would count to 10 or even 100 before they did anything in their life. Maybe then that would prevent some of these bonehead actions. Is the nation just less intelligent now, or did athletes in the past actually understand how lucky they were to be doing what they were doing and just tried not to screw up their position in life?

Censorship! May these words plunge from the heavens like dull arrows in a bright sky; may god allow them to reach the good people of San Marcos to alert them of the real assault--an assault on expression that occurs in dark rooms by newspaper editors who stir brews of power and irrationality. My friends and colleagues: It's passive voice, but the Robbins Report was censored. Last week I responded in a revised version of my column to the factual inaccuracies and poor reasoning that comprised the previous week's letter to the editor. I defended myself, and I defended the honor, of argumentation. The piece was about truth and reasoning. It was nearly a PSA for education. "It's just not goingin," my editor said as he tossed a couple of turd logs at the wall. We (the editor in chief and he) don't want folks carrying on arguments in "The Pride"; we don't want to see anything else about Women's Studies in "The Pride"; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and blah. I know, these folks are editors and they are responsible for editing the paper into a quality product. Like Smokey said in the movie 'Friday', "and you know this, man!" My contention is that my Fuhrer's decision to edit my column all the way off of the page was an irrational decision While my revised column included multiple occurrences of the term "Women's Studies", they appeared only in the context of discussions about poor reasoning. While some might have cited my column for transporting an argument across campus lines, others might have viewed it as being intellectual dialogue between two scholars with strong and very diverse opinions. The smarter of the others might have even recognized the fact that I focused in on the arguments and abstracted the author. I made this case, but my editor upheld the decision. The difference is that this time he threw less turd logs at the wall. They censored a column that bears my surname and leaks my blood and I'm still lying awake at night without an explanation. Try this question guys: What the heck is a personal op-ed column if you can't be your own person and can't express certain opinions? You can say whatever you want Jason, just not this or that, and not to that person. Readers: I'll talk to you folks about more substantial issues next week.

He is a male figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport that people may see feminine, yes, but it does not mean he is weird. The ways thatfigureskating is evaluated is more objective than subjective. Judges are highly trained and judge on a strict rubric.

SABLAN Pride Staff Writer According to the CSUSM web site http://www.csusm. edu/newsmedia/background/ stu-enrollhtm, fall 2005 student enrollment consisted of 63.5 percent females and 36.5 percent males. Since CSUSM has a majority female population, I thought Pdfocussome attention on some femalerelated issues and concerns. I recently overheard a comment on Valentine's Day that wouldn't have disturbed me a few months ago but fortunately since the start of my psychology of women's class this semester, things that have been lying dormant in the shadows of my mind have now been brought into the light. The comment I overheard was from a courier at work griping over the woes and obligations of men during the Valentine's Day holiday. "It's a woman's world," he said. My apologies for rattling the very foundation this society has been built upon, but it is definitely not a "woman's world." For those of you who are not fortunate enough to take Psych 350, here is just a morsel from the buffet of knowledge and perspective it provides. If this was a femaleempowered world, strength would be defined as childbirth and spirit, not how much weight someone can bench. All males would have a curfew since they are the main perpetrators of violence against women. Once the curfew was in effect, females could roam the streets without fear of harm. Men take for granted the luxury of being able to walk around without fear for their safety or lives 24 hours, seven days a week. Females can't even feel 100 percent safe in the comfort of their own homes. Statistics ofrapescommitted in the United States remove one of the essential elements of the statistic, the criminal. Instead of wording statistics like "every second, three women are raped", why aren't statistics worded to include the committer of the crime? Applicable statistics should state that "a man rapes a woman every three seconds." There is only one prototype for the perfect female figure. A woman basically must be skinny, almost boyishly so, yet have huge breasts. How many females in the population canfitinto that mold? Yet males aren't given the same matchbox to fit into. Handsome can mean a variety of sizes and shapes. Men can be chunky, slim, tall, or short and still be considered attractive by society's standards. Females have also given into the injustice by trying to fit the mold. Makeup is utilized because females don't wake up attractive the way men do. Numerous diet plans are in abundance to help females achieve the ''perfect" figure. People try to downplay the injustice females suffer by depersonalizing those who demand their voices be heard. They refer to those brave individuals with slurs such as "bra burners" and joke about them being so extreme that they grow out their armpit and leg hair. Feminism is not a negative word that should induce emotions of shame. Feminism should be a roar resonating from the souls of individuals, males and females, with the end result being an eruption of pride, strength, and unity. Everyone has a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, wife, or femalefriend.Males should be aware that even though they may walk out the same door to start their day as the females in their lives, they walk into a different world. BY ALFRED CHU Special to The Pride September 11 was a day that shocked Americans as no other single day ever had previously. In the following weeks, we glued ourselves to the television watching the footage caught from that dreadful day as well as waiting for recent updates. In the months and years that followed, books, publications, endorsements, charities, documentaries, etc have all touched on that event However there's one more medium that hasn't directly exploited that event: the Hollywood Motion Picture.. .until now. Paramount Pictures, director Oliver Stone and actor Nicholas Cage are currently in production of "World Trade Center". Thefilmwill focus on the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, who were the last two survivors rescued from the rubble of Ground Zero. Only in production, Stone has already issued statements to the media defending thefilmand rebutting against criticism. The film will be shot in Los Angeles on a sound stage while news footage of the event will be added separately. Stone and the producers have also met with the 9/11 families to retain accuracy as well as consent. According to USA Today, Stone has promised sensitivity on the subject, and that's all well and good but then again, Stone stated I believed Bush Sr. when he said "Read my lips: no new taxes." Let's break it down like a fraction. First, we can all agree that Hollywood has a reputation of exaggerating, dis- torting, etc true stories and events. We've seen this done time and again. Second, this is another example of Hollywood looking for new material to produce onfilm.I guess constant adaptations and remakes can't always be lucrative. Third, Hollywood has high hopes of making money off this event. Fourth, we all know controversy sells ("The Passion of the Christ"). That's nothing new. Fifth, Stone has a reputation of making controversial films ("Platoon"). Would you really want "controversy" surrounding an event such as this? I think not. Sixth, if this film should bomb critically and/or financially, either way, Stone's career is close to over. And lastly, Stone promised sensitivity but when push comes to shove, who is he going to be more loyal to, the audience or the people signing his paycheck? I'm not banning the film nor am I condemning it, although that day might come when I see it. Yet it's too soon to be making a film about September 11 and more importantly, too sensitive of a subject. Having lived across the Hudson River in New Jersey during that time, I still keep in contact with friends who lost someone during the attack. I still keep in contact with those who witnessed the collapse of the World Trade Center. To this day, I still have same feelings for the victims as well as the perpetrators. It was one of the rare moments where we were brought together through a commonality, if only for a short while. Mr. Stone, stand down on this one.

And former "Charlie's Angels" star Drew Barrymore lends her voice once again to animation as Ted's love interest, Maggie. With other voices as Dick Van Dyke playing the role of the museum owner Mr. Bloomsberry, and Frank Welker as the loveable character himself, George. As the movie begins, the audience encounters George in Africa being a mischievous character. George is an ape that does not quite belong in this location, in other words, too big for his surroundings. However, this "Curious George" resembles a toddler in the face, facial movements and sounds in comparison to an ape. This, however, does not take away from the movie but instead it creates a more protective feeling in regard to the lonesome ape George. Featured in the film, the museum Ted works for has fallen on hard times. In response, Ted presents an idea of a new attraction to save the museum from becoming a cement tombstone. This idea lands Ted in Africa searching for a lost idol (resembling an ape) allegedly towering Photo courtesy ofwww.curiousgeorgemovie.com over 40ft. However, this journey is not as easy as planned and takes us from Africa into the city where trials and tribulations certainly hold Ted and George from possibly saving the museum and also missing a chance with love and romance. This movie is intolerably cute and for any adult audience bearable. When the film comes to an end, it will not be life altering or even a film that will likely withstand in your memory. However, it's fun, light and pure entertainment.

Celebrate MARDI GRAS BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer The throwing of beads, invitations to masquerade balls, purple, green and gold decorations lining the streets can only mean one thing - Mardi Gras! According to Holidays.net, Mardi Gras was brought to New Orleans due to its richness in French Culture in 1699. Mardi Gras season actually starts on Jan. 6, the "Epiphany holiday", according to Carnival.com, which is twelve days after Christmas and until midnight on Mardi Gras day (Fat Tuesday). The official colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold, which were established in 1872 by Rex, King of Carnival. Each color has a particular meaning, for instance, purple means justice, green represents faith, and gold equals power. According to MardiGras.com, Mardi Gras began as pagan holiday to celebrate the end of winter and coming of spring. Since the celebration was so popular, the Catholic Church kept the tradition, but placed some limits on it by stating that Mardi Gras festivities were only to last from Three King's Day to Ash Wednesday. Basically, Mardi Gras is all about enjoying the appetite of life by feasting and partying before the fasting of Lent. You don't have to be from New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras, because on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 28, in downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., they will be having their own Mardi Gras festivi- ties. There will befivelive stage performances, the G Street Party Stage located on 6th Avenue and G Street will feature DJ Marc Thrasher, NRG, Polyester and the Platforms and KC and the Sun Shine Band. On the E Street Club Stage, located North of E Street and 5th Avenue, DJ's Erick Diaz & Adam Salter with Siesta Records, Scooter and Lavelle and Miss Lisa will be performing. On 4th Avenue, Tipitina Stage located on 4th Avenue and Island Avenue will be showing DJ Mac, The Frappe' Brass Band, The Wild Apache Mardi Gras Indians, The 504 Brass Band, and Kirk Joseph Backyard Groove. The K Street Gaslamp Stage on 6th Avenue and K Street features DJ Scott Martin, Dirty Sweet, Lady Dottie and the Diamonds, Truckee Brothers, and Reeve Oliver. Finally, on G Street, between 4th and 5th Avenue, is the G Street Lips Experience. Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is presented by Southern Comfort, so be sure to grab a Southern Comfort Hurricane, as they will be served all night! The fun doesn't stop there; at 8:30 p.m. there will be a parade that spans eight blocks down Gaslamp Quarter and lasts about 35 to 40 minuets. Local radio stations are getting in on the action as well. 101 KGB will have afloatand a booth set up at the event. They will be giving away free passes and winners will get to ride on the float. Dana from Rock 105.3 says they will also have a float in the parade. Telina from promotions at Photo courtesy ofwww.mardigrashistory.com Star 94.1 says there will a 10x10 booth set up in which prizes will be given out for games such as matching, and guessing how many skittles are in ajar. Farley from Channel 93.3 says they will not only have afloatand booth, but DJ Hit Man Haze will be holding down all the beats that keep you moving.

Dan Flores, the Senior Marketing Manager with the Gaslamp Quarter Association, said that last's year Mardi Gras was "very successful," which made it possible for such bands as KC and the Sun Shine Band to perform this year and give "emerging bands a chance to perform." Dan Flores hopes people will get to discover new bands, and have a good time while giving back to the community. Some of the proceeds go to keeping the streets clean and safe. The great thing about Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is that you don't have to be in New Orleans to get a great Mardi Gras experience. used.

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer In following up on the student vehicle burglary of Feb. 1, the University Police Department speaks out regarding their efforts to ensure campus safety. Lieutenant Douglas Miller was able to provide some additional comments on the incident, as well as details about the responsibilities of CSUSM Police, Community Service Officers, and Parking Officers. "We (University Police) have at most three officers on duty at all times," said Miller, in describing the patrol power of the department. Miller explained that for the three officers on duty there is a total of 304 acres plus the insides of each building to monitor. Patrol power is increased with the presence of CSOs and Parking Officers; however, the abilities to make arrests and apprehend suspects aren't strengthened as much through this unity. "Parking Officers and CSOs are like our eyes and ears," said Miller, commenting on the nature of these officers' jobs. Officers from both divisions can observe and report incidents, but they are not authorized to take action in situations like vehicle burglaries. In fact, if these officers were to take steps toward apprehending suspects or taking individuals into custody, they would face consequences. "CSOs and Parking Officers are students, they are not trained in law enforcement," said Miller. Because Community Service Officers and officers from Parking Services must report all incidents to University Police before any action can take place, response time can take up to 15 minutes. According to Lt. Miller, this time is much faster compared to San Diego State's response time of some- See HISTORY, page 4 See POLICE, page 3 Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride W hile p lanning f or t he n ext fiscal b udget, A SI a lso prepares f or t he 2006-2007 A SI E lections. Three factors compose ASI's operating budget: student fees, donations/profits, and interest from investments. The vast majority of ASI funds are provided directly from mandatory student union fees, included in each semester's tuition cost, for both part-time and full-time students. Each student, unless exempt with a waiver, contributes $50 to ASI's budget. If a student is enrolled for all three semesters, spring, summer, and fall, within one academic year, the student has paid ASI $150 to advocate for that student's voice. These fees allow ASI to host and co-sponsor events on and off campus, including the Masquerade Ball, cultural festivities, guest lecturers, and many other activities run by student-oriented operations. However, some funds assist with less practical uses, such as purchasing the North County Times and New York Times, or working on goals such as installing couches in restrooms, a goal detailed on the ASI website. In addition to the extensive financial contribution by students, commercial operations are typically paid for by donations and profit from ticket sales. ASI makes about one dollar on each ticket sold See BUDGET, page 2 A 'cool' fundraiser Campus takes Alternative Spring Break promotes Hockey for Habitat for Humanity BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer Students participating in the Alternative Spring Break program offer theirfirst"cool" fundraiser: selling tickets to watch the San Diego Gulls hockey team take on the Utah Grizzlers on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the I-Pay One Center.

Collectively, thisfinancialincome totals approximately $15,000 dollars of the budget, which generally goes toward commercial operations. The third and smallest contributor to the ASI budget is the interest gained off of investments in mutual funds. This equates to about a thousand dollars within the academic year. Interest does not provide a large amount of ASI's funds, but can help cushion budgets for many events and programs. About$120,000isusedannually for program events on campus, compensating guest speakers, and hosting social events. ASI also utilizes some of its budget to sponsor and co-sponsor events, such as the Middle Eastern Conference, Oktoberfest, and recreational activities. Commercial operations also have costs, which can include Photo Courtesy of Associated Students Incorporated students the opportunity to rub elbows with the mascot and share in campus-wide pride at the CRASH Pride Day. The event will be located in the Kellogg Plaza, complete with free food, games, entertainment, free-prizes for students showing their pride, and the front business office expenses and maintenance on copiers and fax machines. Costs in this area also include buying wholesale tickets for amusement parks, leisure activities, etc. ASI also funds the Early Learning Center, the Recreation Center/Clarke Field House and club/ intramural sports. The ASI general fund budget is decided and allocated by various ASI departments and the ASI Board of Directors, with approval/suggestions from the University President and her administration. The current ASI administration makes the budget for the upcoming year/administration.

Each department decides what they need and with all things considered, a general budget is drafted by the main ASI Board of Directors, consisting offivekey executive directors. ASI officers are salaried workers, but often the labor outweighs the compensation. The presidential position for ASI pays $8,000 per term, which is one full academic year. The ASI President has to put in a minimum of ten hours a week in the summer and a minimum of 20 hours a week in the Fall and Spring semesters. Executive officers earn $7,000 a year, logging in the same minimum weekly hours as the president. Student representatives make considerably less with $1,200 for the year for a minimum of eight hours a week. All ASI elected positions serve for a full term from Summer semester through Spring semester. "We put in many more hours than [what is required]," said Marc DeGuzman, current ASI president. He also adds that "some students may feel that ASI doesn't do anything," but actually it is a very complex organization with many responsibilities that impact students. ASI is currently looking for ways to expand on commercial operations. Foundations have lots of control over food sales and venders. No negotiations are in the works, but ASI is considering other options to help raise more funds and increase the ASI operating budget, which means more programs and event opportunities for CSUSM students and affiliates.

Nonetheless, a contributing factor in the department's response time is lack of staffing. The campus is growing at an exponential rate while the department's size remains at a standstill. This issue is not only felt on the university level, but aiso countywide. "San Diego County law enforcement has 500 vacant jobs to befilleddue to the difficulty to recruit individuals for sworn law enforcement jobs," said Sergeant Rigo Chaves. The interviewing and preliminary screening process is composed of multiple steps, often too many steps for most applicants. Due to the staffing obstacles and campus growth the University Police must face, the department encourages all students to report all suspicious behaviors to any of the campus officers on campus in efforts to keep crime incidents low.

In addition, the crew plans to attend the game to sell souvenir hockey pucks in hopes of making more money. Sara Gallegos, coordinator of Student Activities, considers this fundraiser sponsored by the San Diego Gulls a very generous offer because the Gulls give half of the ticket proceeds to the organization.

In any case, a bustling Jewish community doesn't rank high on the list. In fact, the notion of a Mexican Jew can be downright baffling to some. Isaac Artenstein's documentary, "Tijuana Jews," breaks through many misconceptions regarding Jews and Mexico, while providing a warm, comprehensive history of the people. The film uncovers the bustling Mexican Jewish community, most of which emi- Tuesday, February 21, 2006 i l l l U C O - Documenflng the history . of lews' the Tijuana grated from pre-World War II Europe to find a safer home in secular Mexico. Artenstein digs into his family's history and uncovers the personalities of predominate members of the community. They lived just like any other Jewish community would elsewhere in the world. Through the use of old photo's, interviews with surviving members of the original community, warm narratives and seemingly ancient super 8 footage, Artenstein gives the forgotten community an unforgettable voice. The film also recounts events that happened at many Tijuana landmarks such as the Jai Alai Palace, Avenida Revolucion, and Tijuana's "Centro Social Isrealista," adding a bit of history to both well-known or otherwise unknown parts of town. "Tijuana Jews" is more than an informative documentary on Jews living in Tijuana, it is also a colorful commemoration of an all but forgotten cluster of families who escaped European persecution and made a comfortable home in the prosperous environment Tijuana provided before its economic downfall in the 1960's. Since then, many of those families have moved into the United States (particularly in the southern parts of San Diego County) and have blended in with the predominant culture. Meanwhile, their parents arid grandparents, who experienced Tijuana's boom, are slowly fading away. Of course, immortalizing these people in film is one of the main reasons Artenstein produced "Tijuana Jews", in addition to dispelling the perception of a Mexican Jew as some sort of mythological creature. The Center ARTS at CSUSM held the showing and lecture of "Tijuana Jews" in Room 240 of the Arts building on Wednesday, February 15 as part of their series of arts and lectures.

Small trinkets of significance are sometimes tied in as well. While widely practiced, its secrecy has made learning about the language extremely difficult. Nevertheless, Prof. Schwegler's photos, sound clips, and grammatical breakdown of this mysterious religion made for an impressively informative presentation. The broad content of the lecture also left a lot open to the interpretation and interests of the diverse student audience. As to whether there was any particular kind of student that frequented his lectures, Prof. Schwegler replied that "Linguistics, History, and Spanish majors can all be tied into the subject matter". These lectures have taken him all over the world, and Prof. Schwegler is energized by the fact that scholars "still have a lot to learn".

Call Reproductive Solutions: (818)832-1494 BY DUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday afternoon, CSUSM students in ARTS 240 were taken on a literary trip to Cuba to explore the secretive religion of "Palo Monte," often considered "Black Magic". Armin Schwegler, a professor of Spanish at both U.C. Irvine and CSUSM, guided audience members through the inter-workings and curiosities of the obscure religious practices, language and context of Palo Monte. The lecture was presented as part of the Black History Month events on campus. "This is the story of African people coming to the New World and what was retained as far as their culture, language and religious practices," said Prof. Schwegler, before speaking to the audience as a whole. His lecture began by narrating the origins of the Palo Monte religion, tracing it back to the lower Congo region of Africa and the Kikongo language. These cultural roots were brought over to Cuba with the slave trade during the sugar industry boom of the 1820s. This religion is oné of four to migrate from Africa with the slave trade, along with the likes of the more well-known Santeria. Previously thought to be a complete pidgin, mixed with different languages from all over Africa, Prof. Schwegler's research sheds light on the fact that Palo Monte was actually derived from the single language of Kikongo. This finding is now considered irrefutable by the academic world. The language now used in religious practice is heavily restructured, and mixes standard traditional Spanish with the Kikongo language. This dialect has turned into its own entity and research has led to a translation of over three thousand words. The practice of Palo Monte is characterized as being extremely secretive, and Prof. Schwegler spent a great deal of time in Cuba digging deep to find his information. His studies led him to find that the religion is very much alive and, in fact, thriving all over the country of Cuba. The lecture made a notable point of explaining that, despite the dark stereotype of the old African religions gathered from mainstream media, Palo Monte is actually practiced by all different members of Cuban society, from city to village, from doctors to cab drivers. Palo Monte emphasizes the idea of "invoking" or otherwise working with the spirits of the dead. Those practicing the religion build small temples with shrine-like sculptures made of On Campus: Student life and leadership BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer It's a common perception that for CSUSM students there is very little to 'student life' outside of the studying and traveling from one class to the next. For those looking to change this experience, the tools can be found in Craven Hall 4116 at the Student Life & Leadership (SLL) office. "This ('no student life' label) is a matter of perspective. For our age and size, we are doing very well," says Bridget Blanshan, Director of Student Life & Leadership. She explains that student life and culture here on campus may not be as obvious as other universities because some traditions at other campuses are a lot older, due to the fact that those universities are a lot older. What's nice about the fact that CSUSM is less than 20.years old is that it gives students today an opportunity to become involved in creating these lasting traditions and organizations. Furthermore, the staff at the Student Life & Leadership office will partner with students to help them establish organizations, as well as give instruction on how to lead them. By becoming involved in the creating process, students are building a legacy. At most other universities here in San Diego, organizations have been established for so long that few are born while some fail to progress. "I have been here at CSUSM since July 2001, and since then, the number of student organizations has doubled," said Blanshan. According to Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Student Involvement, there are currently over 60 clubs and organizations here on campus, with seven new or renewed organizations this semester alone. With 60 organizations, there is something for everyone, a complete list of which is available in the Student Life & Leadership office. In order to change the perception that there is 'not much to do' at CSUSM, the SLL staff works together tirelessly with other organizations such as ASI and the Campus Programs and Recreations departments to encourage student involvement and raise awareness that there are more than enough reasons, apart from class attendance, to stay on campus. In addition to clubs and organizations, the SLL office also offers Co-Curricular Event Funding Applications. If an organization wishes to hold an event, such as the Internship/College Major Fair, or Cultural Performances, they can and should apply for funding. The funds come from monies that have been allocated by President Haynes for such purposes. Another often unnoticed service is the Multicultural Program. Established 3 years ago, and continuing to blossom today, The Multicultural Program's office is located next door to the SLL, and is the beginning of what will one day be the Cross Cultural Center. This office offers a cozy, living room-like atmosphere with big comfortable couches, shelves lined with books and videos on vast varieties of cultures, and walls papered with beautiful posters of leaders from all over the world. In addition to his internal duties, Associate Director of the Multicultural Program, Alexis HISTORY,frompage 1 "The History Department is very excited to be welcoming so many community partners, professional public historians, and history enthusiasts to our campus," said Patty Seleski, history department chair. "It's a great opportunity for history majors and others to see examples of the ways in which their interest in history can be continued beyond their college experience, in either a professional and career oriented capacity, or as a personal passion." "San Diego County has a whole range of history museums and local history societies; the Congress of History is a kind of umbrella organization for these local societies," explained Associate Professor Jeff Charles, who has been working closely with the Congress of History, as well as others, in offering this event at CSUSM.

The Annual History Conference will be an informative delight for history buffs, students, and all members of the public alike. "All local history lovers will find something of interest and will learn something new," added Richard Hann, president of the Congress of History of San Diego and Imperial Counties. The registration cost for both days is $30 per person, and offers discounts for seniors, students, and children.

Montevirgen, advises student organizations with a cultural focus, helps plan cultural events on campus and organizes educational programs.

Other services offered include, but certainly aren't limited to, a web based Calendar of Events, Cougar Wellness, Emerging Leaders Program, Fraternity & Sorority Life, Housing, Leadership Fast Tips, Orientation Programs and Tukwut Transcripts. "There is nothing like it, in terms of learning core life skills," says Blanshan, about the importance of student involvement.

By broadcasting the Winter Olympics you are making me one aggravated sports journalist. Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece outfit while dancing on ice to a song called, "The Swan", is not a sport. The biggestfigureskating star is Johhny Weir, who should just add a "D" to his last name and call it a day. Anything that involves cleaning the ice in front of a large disc that is gliding down the rink is not what I would call entertainment. If you throw some skates on some maids and tell them to hit the ice, it is not a sport. Anything that involves a person holding on for dear life while sliding down a frozen chute, although it may be entertaining to see them crash, it's not a sport. In my mind, events fall into three categories which consist of activities, competitionas, and sports. Figure skating and snowboarding should be considered a competition because the result is determined by the opinion of a judge. Sports should not be viewed like movies. Just because Ebert and Roeper liked your 1080 on the half-pipe doesn't mean you deserve a 10 out of 10. Curling is an activity, because how can you honestly consider an event with a broom a sport? Bobsledding and pretty much the rest of the Winter Olympics should be considered activities, not sports. The only events in the Olympics that I consider sports are ice hockey and speed skating and you may already know my feelings about ice hockey. How can you consider these Olympics a success? I mean "American Idol" kicked your freezing butts in viewer-ship on February 14, with the wannabe singers racking in 27 million to your 16.1 million. Heck, at least in "American Idol" the singers are taunted if they suck. I wish I could do that to Bode Miller. It was supposed to be Miller Time at these Olympics, but the drunkard party animal has been more disappointing than a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. There was so much hype around this guy that he is one of the few Olympians who had an advertising campaign in major magazines and networks with his campaign of joinbode. com. I want to know where they want us to join Bode, at the bar maybe, because it clearly isn't at the medal podium? How do you expect us to know the rules of some of these crazy events if you don't even know what to call these Olympics? Is it Torino or Turin? I think I could get used to some of these activities if you exposed me to them more than once every four years. I might actually get into these events if you televised the national skeleton championships, if they even have those. Also, your marketing for these games has been horrible. You guys have focused your media attention on three competitors, Miller, Shaun White and Michelle Kwan. I've already told you what I think about Miller. You would think I would have support for White since he is from Carlsbad, CA but I can't stand listening to the "dude" be interviewed. I speak a lot of slang in my daily life and don't always use proper English, but I for sure don't use it 24/7 like White. Now Kwan, there was no chance in hell she was actually going to compete at Turin/Torino and all the talk leading up to these games regarded her. You don't see the NBA marketing its injured stars to get people to watch their sport. It just doesn't make business sense. What kills me most about these events is how disappointed my peers are when the Americans don't win a gold medal. Honestly, how can people be upset that the U.S. doesn't win at the skeleton event? It's not like you lost your skeleton fantasy league because American didn't bring home the gold. Does America really have to squash every other country in everything? Can't we just leave the world domination thing to George W? I will be waiting for your response at Sando026@csusm. edu. Warm Regards, "Jock Talk" w/Josh Sandoval P.S. to the Olympic committee: If you get any wild ideas regarding the start-up of a Spring Olympics, make sure Easter egg hunts aren't part of the events.

San Marcos (At Via Vera Cruz acrossfromthe Restaurant Row) 752-1826 mit mr new website www.tanattheisl andsxom �T he Spectre of Avarice Letter BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer There's little mind and less matter in wondering how many other bathroom mirrors received similar treatment here on the last Holy Day till the next. The offense or offering lies not in contemplating the implications of public-private ads n' art, but in reflecting upon the journey through society's holiday gauntlet. No matter how well rounded or timely we consider our relation to Holy Days, most often we do worse than 'forget' their significance, we neglect it. From the Winter Dates to the new calendar, to the matching strike, the members of a comparatively diverse society fill their moats and erect their towers, convinced that their concept of one holiday to the next is not only profoundly sovereign, but perpetually under attack. Thus it happens, we sing 'with' our hearts and our families while we sing 'at' our cares and anyone who dares to hold less wholly to our concept of our hole. Like a frightened animal, we crap on anything that tries to swallow us into its fold, or we vomit out our gorgings for the proper nourishment of the neglected. We want OUR plans for that particular day to be recognized, thus projecting our exaggerated joy and reflecting our exaggerated disgust when we should be saving it for its source. Rolling your eyes at someone when they share a litany of joys, whatever the reason, makes no impact on your mood or their's greater than the chasm stretched between you both. Asking "why don't you" when we clearly mean "what's wrong with you" divides you just as much. Everyone can enjoy good food and drink, gifts, and times of reflection; the occasion should be only a slightly more than minor detail. Don't be unconsciously greedy; there are enough hours in enough days in enough calendars for everyone. It is challenge enough to reconcile our Good God Tastes, the living spirits we ascribe to our favorite things, when so many are willing to turn our headstones into cobblestones. This is not even to mention the choking walls that hoard t o t he E ditor Photo by Zachary J. Simon / The Pride our refinements and rarities, our secret and artificially shameful pleasures. Beware the talking hands of Avarice, of the will to accumulate what is neither used nor consumed, keep sure and silent that they belong to a dealing demon rather than a riddling ghost. In other words, keep holidays, like possessions, in progressive circulation or serene orbit, that they become neither chains nor an army restless for conquest. The shadows and shades of your experiences are your own. Share them as you will, but to truly "share" them, you must first be asked. Abstain as a choice, as precious choice is neither desperate nor pious, as another's Holy Day should be no more your concern than another's chosen mate. There's enough for all, and too much to be had to be burdened by having it all. As a graduate student who pays large fees to ASI and feels as though I get nothing in return for my fees, I was very excited to recieve a flyer stating that there would be free Cirinabons in celebration of Valentine's day. So you can imagine my anger to discover that your flyer was indeed a hoax and there were no free Cinnabons to be had. I was in the area of the library between 11:15 and 1:00, and I saw no students with Cinnabons, no signs announcing where the Cinnabons could be, and no replacement for the missing Cinnabons. I know this may seem petty, but I pay alot. Give me my freaking Cinnabons.

The French police needed his expertise inside the crime scene. But he really isn't there to help. Langdon is actually the prime suspect for the murder. Bezu Fache, the captain of the French police, brought Langdon inside the Louvre only to interrogate him. While I expected one thing, Brown quickly changed the pace and brought a twist at the end of the scene. Again, I was hooked. I wanted to know what happened next. The story suddenly becomes a learning experience. Langdon's descriptions inside the Louvre sounded like a textbook (probably because Langdon is a professor). I found it refreshing because it actually made me feel right inside the building. The story shifts and Brown introduces Sophie Neveu. She is a cryptologist who also happens to be the granddaughter of Sauniere. Suddenly, Langdon and Sophie become fugitives and race against time to solve the mystery. But that's just half the book in a This year, I didn't want to fail prey into Hollywood's latest adaptation because I hate watching a movie before reading the book. So I finally finished Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." I don't want to give the plot away but the book begins with a murder scene. Right away, Brown hooks me in. Jacques Sauniere is the curator of the Louvre. He is murdered inside the Grand Hall of the museum and the plot begins. The point of the story is NOT to find the killer. That's just too easy. Brown tells you who the killer is. But before Sauniere died, he left a bunch of clues pointing out the killer and the key to an ancient secret. That's where Robert Langdon comes in. He is a Harvard Professor specializing in art history and religious symbology. But Brown's character is not the typical mystery detective. He's smarter. He's so good that Brown brought him back into this novel (Langdon first appeared in 'Vinci nutshell. There are secret societies involved with the Vatican. There's a great part where Langdon gives a brief explanation behind the meaning of Leonardo Da Vinci's, "Mona Lisa," and there's the history of the Holy Grail included as well. I'll stop right there and let you decide if you want to know more. After reading this book, I felt not only refreshed but smarter. This novel is listed as a fiction but somehow, I want to believe that everything is true. With all the controversy surrounding this book, Brown manages to keep the reader educated and guessing all the time. The chapters are short and Brown's cliffhangers and sharp twists make it easy to read. The puzzles and clues entertained and made it impossible for me to put the book down. "The Da Vinci Code," has been on the best seller's list for over 146 weeks. Hollywood just couldn't wait to adapt Brown's novel. The movie will hit theaters on May 19, this year. With Ron Howard directing the film and Tom Hanks as the lead role, this movie will definitely be a blockbuster. si PALOHÄR COLl£G £ SwimJF The Patomar College GEAR IIP Program la looking itor outgoing and energetic students who ate seeking a leadership role.

Although pumpkin-flavored and brewed beers probably sound distasteful to some and seasonal to others, if its good enough it doesn't hurt to have a sip of it year round. The Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is a squash-tinted beer that is worth a taste in any season. Brewed by the Buffalo Bill Brewery in Hay ward, California, this ale uses actual pumpkin in the brewing process, with added spices common to pumpkin pie to top it off. Surprisingly mild in flavor, this ale pours orangeamber in color and has a smooth texture and feel. Featuring a hint of pumpkin flavor and aroma, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale has just the right amount of spices added to give it a perfect balance. Nutmeg and cinnamon come through the strongest as the lead spices, but do not overpower the taste of pumpkin and ale. To top this off there is little to no taste of bitterness with this beer, the majority probably being overshadowed by the pumpkin and spices.

Unfortunately in a case of love, life can put a damper on the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps the ability for two individuals to overcome this damper is a true measure of just how deep love is. "Something New" is a movie about the ups and downs of love seasoned with the implications of interracial relations. All of this is showcased through the story of a single and successful black woman whose path crosses with a charming and witty white man and unfolds in their journey through a romance that is entirely unfamiliar yet comforting on both sides. "Something New" is directed by newcomer Sanaa Hamri whose previous works are with Mariah Carey for both her Intimate Portrait, and Around The World features. For Something New Hamri teamed up with the more prevalent Kriss Turner who is best recognized for her screenwriting skills on the series Everybody Hates Chris, and TheBernieMac Show. Something New is also a host to an appropriate ensemble of actors such as, Sanaa Lathan, from the movies Life, Alien Vs. Predator, and Love and Basketball, and Simon Baker from the movies The Ring Two, Land of The Dead, and Red Planet. Supporting actors and actresses include Donald Faison, Mike Epps, and Taraji Henson. The movie opens up on the life of strict and sophisticated Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), a woman at the prime of her career who is in need of two things: a man to share her life with, and a landscaper for her undeveloped backyard. Kenya's three best friends, also successful black women, insist that she "let go and letflow,"encouraging her to be more lax in her standards for dating. That is of course, until her coworker sets her up on a blind date with a white man. Kenya shuts down the ever so eager Brian (Simon Baker) and proceeds as though she'll never see him again, until she encounters him at her coworkers engagement party. Impressed by the landscape work he's done for her coworker, Kenya employs Brian to work on her backyard with a strictly business mindset going in. However, Kenya's heart gets the best of her as shefindsherself breaking with habit and embracing difference through the inspiration Brian gives her. More important than the romance that Brian and Kenya share on screen are the issues the two must face, which could be determined as the bottom line of the entire script. Interracial dating and marriages come under the scrutiny of all onlookers, including family, close friends and the most harsh, critics. Within this realm of intolerance the innermost workings of a relationship, can be tested too as each member must in one sense be confident and comfortable in their own skin, and in the other sense be able to empathize with the implications of their partners' race. When this issue presented itself in the movie, viewers were given a glimpse of a truly impressive display of honesty and emotion through acting. Screenwriter, Kriss Turner spared no details in outlining scenes where the reality of politics enter a romance at any given time with no warning and the relationship's partici- Photo Courtesy of Focus Features pants must either successfully (or unsuccessfully) cope with it. Such interactions on screen brought the audience at Krikorian's Auditorium 7 to a chilled silence. All in all, "Something New" delivers on its name; a refreshing and different perspective on an old and unceasing issue in our nation. It leaves audiences to consume in its message as a truthful relay of what most US American couples face, as well as presents a whole new perspective on the story of black and white. H ow To ... M ake G uacamole 1 The ultimate snack: mix, mash & dip awa BYDUSTIN FRANKS Pride Staff Writer Afineguacamole is rare when stumbled upon; it makes a great snack or an amazing appetizer that can feed an entire party in just a few quick and easy steps. This simple to make, tasty treat will only cost you a few bucks and will add some spice to your college dining appetite. Everyone's got their own taste preferences, but here's a great way of getting started and devising your own avocado masterpiece. This recipe makes about a cereal bowl full of guacamole heaven, here's what you need. - Bowl - Knife - Fork and Large spoon - (2) Avocados - (1) Lime -(1) Tomato - (Vi) Onion - A dash of cilantro - Garlic Salt -Lemon Pepper - Black Pepper Step 1: Choose your avocados wisely, the softer the better. They should be heavy in hand, and have a clean oily smell. If the avocados aren't ripe yet, throw them together in a brown paper bag. Apparently, once one starts to soften up it releases a chemical that makes the others do the same. Slice the avocados in half and use the knife to gently remove the pit. Use the spoon like your scooping ice cream, and remove the avocado from the skins and throw them in the bowl. Tip: you can cut up the avocado in long slices before you scoop to make mixing easier. Step 2: Dice up the tomatoes, onions and cilantro and throw them into the bowl, or take a couple of heaping spoonfuls of pre-made salsa and throw them in the mix. This saves time and cleanup, and usually we all have salsa sitting in the fridge. Step 3: Cut your lime in half and squeeze into the bowl, the more you use the tangier your guacamole becomes. Step 4: Add about 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt into bowl. Then add lemon pepper and black pepper to your likening. Tip: add a little, then taste, add a little then taste. You don't want to destroy your guacamole by adding to much spice. The garlic salt is key, like the lime, it's the secret ingredient. Step 5: Mix all ingredients together with a spoon, the more you mash the smoother your guacamole will be. If you like it chunky, use a fork and lightly stir, resembling the appearance of thick mashed potatoes. Mess around with what you like and don't. Keep adding ingredients a little at a time to your liking and get creative, if you like it spicy, throw some Tapatio or Cholula hot sauce in. Now that you've got your homemade guacamole, throw it on a salad, sandwich or have it as a side with chips. Guacamole can spoil fast though, to keep it green and fresh save the avocado pit, place in back in the bowl, cover and refrigerate immediately. Never cut up the pit of the avocado, it will make your guacamole bitter with a weird texture.

With the addition of Lot H, more traffic has been speeding through Lot E in hopes of snagging a close parking spot in Lot H, located between the Foundation Classroom Building and MarksteinHall. Originally, no signs were posted and no measures were taken to reduce speed or alert drivers to be cautious while traveling through these lots. However, with increased driving speeds, the University Police Department installed two sets of speed-bumps directly in front of the Parking and Transportation Services office, where pedestrian traffic is high- Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride est in this area of campus. Yet, the Police Department didn't see the change they wanted by utilizing the speed-bumps.

Chamber Champions promote campus Film exposes sexual violence and rape in the African-American community BY JENNY NGUYEN Pride Staff Writer BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The Black Student Union presents award-winning African-American feminist and documentary filmmaker Aishah Simmons on Feb. 15. Simmons' documentary, NO!: Confronting Rape in the African-American Community, will be shown at The Clarke Field House from 6 to 8:30 p.m. as part of the CSUSM Black History Month observance.

"If you threw a dart at a [San Diego] map, you would hit a graduate of SDSU, and if you shot a canon at that map, you would miss a graduate of CSUSM by far," said Dennis Guseman, Dean of the College of Business Administration. "In our plan to nurture, sustain, increase, and coordinate our community partnerships, we developed a program called Chamber Champions," said President Karen Haynes during her second annual Community Report. According to the Chamber Champions proposal, the program is designed to strengthen existing community partnerships, increase new partnerships, and increase the level of awareness and interest in California State University San Marcos's programs and activities within the business community.

Invisible Children, documented by three young filmmakers: Jason Russell, Laren Poole and Bobby Bailey, exposes the horrific consequences of a 20-year civil war in Uganda and discovers how the war has left much of the nation's population displaced, with children seeking refuge to avoid being kidnapped by the rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army, LRA. "They didn't know what they would find," said Alisa Wells, sociology gradu- and taken into the 'bush' where they are instantly desensitized to pain, blood and killing. Young enough to carry a gun and ideal for brainwashing, approximately 50,000 children have been abducted by the LRA. Yet despite the startling numbers, prior to the documentary, this tragedy was getting no international attention. The documentary has since expanded to a non-profit organization, with a mission to educate the public, empower viewers, and provide over 20 million dollars in aid for these Invisible Children. "Our dream is to inspire the young and young at heart, to challenge their thinking, and empower them to 'be the change they wish to see in the world' ate at CSUSM and presenter of the film screening. The young men inadvertently stumbled upon a civil war in Uganda containing horrors that proved to be so disgustingly astonishing it would be difficult for the rest of the world to comprehend, added Wells. ^ -Each night, thousands of children flee from their homes to sleep in bus depots and under hospital verandas out of fear that they will be captured by the LRA and forced into becoming child soldiers. These children, aged anywhere from five to 12 years old, leave their homes before dusk to sleep, in what they consider to be safer locations, protected by only one armed guard for the thousands of children. The fear is real for these young children. Those that are unable to seek refuge are often captured by the LRA History of Debt See INVISIBLE, page 3 Questioning Valentine's Day See News PAGE 6 Invisible Children Documentary See Features PAGE 3 Courtesy ofInvisibleChildren.com Cupid's Corner See Features /\ See A & E PAGE 10 PAGE 12 �Career Center presents Major and Internship Fair Collaborative event unites advising and internship programs to save students time and hassle Editorial Editor in Chief Patrick B.

Today, there are about 40 people involved in the Chamber Champions. Under the coordination of the champions, team volunteers attend chamber events and participate on committees and generally become active members of the area chamber. Chamber Champions and volunteers spend approximately three to six hours a month attending city chamber meetings and events "Over time, we are going to reach out to the Hispanic Chamber, Encinitas Chamber, and also the Solana Beach Chamber," said Dean Guseman. According to Guseman, the Chamber Champions program is a very concentrated way to reach over 200,000 people in the community. With many people involved in "Building Our Legacy", students will have great opportunities in the business community. One such example is the Senior Experience and internship programs. Many of these chambers offer scholarship programs. As a student, becoming familiar with your area's chamber events is crucial. It is the goal of this program to have the business community hire graduates of its community. By doing so, this creates an identity for Cal State San Marcos, mentioned Guseman. Students and graduates of CSUSM become more desirable and prestigious. "We have a great product, and we are marketing it as a Win-Win to a large number or people," said Dean Guseman.

"I believe rape is an important topic that we need to continually explore," said Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students. Poullard explained on the importance of the presentation of NO! and Simmons' visit as not just for Black History Month, but for campus benefit. Presentations such as NO! are a reminder of the true nature of Black History Month as not only celebrations of blackness, but also celebrations of cultural diversity.

Auditions will take place Feb. 15, 16 and 17, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in The Clark Field House Conference Room 110. Applications are available at Commons 201 and Craven 4116. All talents are welcome, ranging from dance, music and song, to monologues, skits and personal stories. Performance pieces should involve aspects of Filipino culture, such as history, religion, interracial dating, and stereotypes, One does not have to be Filipino to participate, and anyone interested in performing is encouraged to audition. All talent levels are welcome, ranging from amateur to professional. The judges will be critiquing auditions based on presentation, vocal projection and energy on stage. Individuals selected to perform in the Culture Night will be required to participate in rehearsals that will help refine their talents/strengths and explore their performance piece. Prospective students do not have to audition alone. Duets and group skits are encouraged, as well as solo acts. Filipino Culture Night will be structured like a variety show with several different acts pieced together. The audition judges will be selecting enough performances to fill an hour and a half. "It's a great learning experience going through a production," said Diana Wong, ASI director of Cultural Programming and Kamalayan Alliance treasurer. "You learn a lot about yourself and others." The focus of Filipino Culture Night is to "break stereotypes and to show that we have a very diverse culture within the community," added Wong. It is an opportunity for CSUSM student voices to be heard. Also, the event hopes to make others aware how Filipinos have contributed to history and social institutions. According to Wong, attènding Filipino Culture Night will allow the audience to "see through the eyes of Filipinos" and understand that all racial groups struggle and BARRICADE,frompage 1 explained that the reason the barricade was implemented to slow down the speed of the vehicles proceeding to the back lot. The blocker is being used to channel people into more turns in hopes of slowing them down, added Miller.

"Our mission at the University Police Department is safety, and we prefer to head things off before incidents happen." INVISIBLE,frompage 1 through action," according to the organization's website. Over 70 students congregated in Arts 240 to view the 90-minute screening of Invisible Children, followed by a question and answer discussion. Eileen Reyes, a senior at CSUSM, described the film as "heart-wrenching," claiming that "it really makes you want to actively put time and effort in to help these children." Melissa Fanning, a freshman, who had seen the documentary prior to the campus-screening, was once again moved by the film. "It was completely intense," she said, "and it made me want to do even more." Many students, clearly shaken by the film, had questions as to how they could help. As with many documentaries, Invisible Children was made for a clearly defined purpose. Among their key aspirations, the filmmakers of Invisible Children seek to raise $20 million to provide relief and sponsor 100,000 children to attend school. Wells offered additional ways to help share commonalities. Students interested in volunteering for stage crew and production design are encouraged to fill out ah application and should plan on attending the auditions and get acquainted with the event coordinators and the performers.

Kamalayan Alliance is a Filipino-American organization on campus that focuses on inequality, social change, generational gaps and Filipino identity. It is non-exclusive and everyone is welcome to join. Kamalayan Alliance is working on becoming involved with other clubs on campus. Currently, members meet bi-weekly in various rooms around campus. A general board meeting will be held on Feb. 22, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in ACD 404.

Drivers are encoilraged to follow the 25 mph speed limit on campus streets, and the 10 mph speed limit in parking lots. Drivers should not swerve or j.et around the barricade, noted Koehler. This lane is essentially a one-way lane with the newly placed barricade in position. While the department does not plan on writing citations to violators disregarding the one-way traffic, if a driver were to get into an accident traveling eastbound i n the lane, the driver would be at fault for all collision damages, mentioned Koehler.

A lecture on the historical link between American debt and spending habits BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Exposing the history of the American debt, Phi Alpha Theta will host an intriguing lecture presented by respected Economic Historian, Danny Vickers, highlighting the nation's tendencies to borrow money and accrue debt. In collaboration with the History Department, the History Club, and the CSUSM Arts and Lectures series, the History of Debt lecture will be held on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 4:00 p.m. in University Hall, room 100. This free-admission lecture wonlt hurt budgets, but can assist in a better understanding of financial options and being debt-free. "Professor Vickers will be talking about the history of debt and borrowing in America, going back to the colonial period," expláined Dr. Anne Lombard, assistant professor of History.

"This lecture should be very interesting, as it is a topic that applies to almost everyone, not only on campus but throughout the world," said Stephanie Schott, president of Phi Alpha Theta, a national history honor society. "Learning the roots of debt helps create a better understanding and can allow the individual to master it in his or her own life." "The event is a chance to talk to an expert about a pressing national issue that most of us don't really understand: what difference the growing level of borrowing in America, both consumer and government borrowing, make to our economy, our society, and our future," said Lombard. "Professor Vickers' talk should give all students a stimulating new perspective on something they probably all have a mountain of: DEBT!" been numerous praises for its existence as well.

The Global Night Commute is an overnight sleepover in which participates are encouraged to walk downtown and sleep in the streets, just like the children of Uganda. The impact of the screening is one that will last with students, according to Valerie Taylor. CSUSM junior, Valerie Taylor, plans on getting involved right away.

Some follow the scent of barbequed chicken; others follow the loud hip-hop music that hovers overhead. "Got me looking so crazy right now" sings Beyonce. "Your love got me looking so crazy right now." A woman named Anise from payroll greets me. Another staff member thanks me for joining their celebration. In every corner of the large luncheon area, colleagues and friends laugh, hug and add to a bubbling energy that even a stone-hearted journalist like me can feel. The African American Faculty and Staff Association (A AFSA) served up this bubbling energy at their 3rd Annual Soul Food Luncheon, held last Friday at The Clarke Field House. The luncheon is designed to raise money for future A AFSA initiatives. It was clear that funding was not their only objective, though. Karen Francisco-Butler of Admissions and Recruitment, along with Virgian Hughes of Registration and Records, explained that the purpose of the luncheon is to show others what African-Americans are like as people in their culture. Shortly after the staff opened the lunch line, the event featured AAFSA Vice President Gezai Berhane's power point presenta• tion entitled, "They came, they made a way." Profiling numerous African-American political and social leaders, the presentation served as an expression of culture from a historical perspective. As unimportant as rich food might be relative to figures like Rosa Parks and Shirley Chisholm (both part of the presentation), the luncheon's fare (provided by Southern Spice Catering of Temecula) deserved its own praise. The macaroni and cheese was chunky, super-rich, and so very pleasing. The tender barbequed chicken was sealed away from the world by a smoky red sauce, and it too struck ecstasy. The corn bread was corn bread. As for the collard greeas; well, they were vegetables, so let's just say that others enjoyed them. One person who looked to be enjoying himself was ASI President and CEO Marc DeGuzman. When asked about what the Soul Food Luncheon means for CSUSM, DeGuzman commented that "it's one of the ways we cel- Classifieds E GG D ONORS Healthy Eemales ages 18-30.

"When community can come together, that's what Cal State San Marcos is all about," said Jonathan Poullard (Chair of the AAFSA Fundraising Committee, Dean of Students, and the man who directed the proceedings) about the event. "It warms my heart." The room's heart-warming energy and spirit of expression were quickly sucked u p,, enriched, and re-distributed by the luncheon'sfinalact. Anthony Blacksher, a CSUSM graduate and graduate student, captivated the crowd with a moving slam poetry performance. "This poem is for Tookie" shouted Blacksher in a willing voice,"the Tookie that is redemptive!" "This poem is for Ossie." "This poem is for Rosa ... Life is civil rights." Blafcksher finished, the 100-150 attendees erupted in applause, and the energy was restored. The 3rd Annual Soul Food Luncheon served up culture, community, rich food, and an energy related to the three.

Although the g ift industry may benefit greatly from this holiday, it actually originated long before Hallmark. One explanation, kept alive by educational TV stations like "The History Channel", points to third century A.C.E. Roman Emperor Claudias II. According to legend, he outlawed marriage between young couples because he felt that young unmarried men would Photo Courtesy of virtualmuseum.ca Valentine, sainted by Pope Gelasius, who wrote extensively against the "lover's lottery" of old make better soldiers. Valentine, a local Christian activist, defied Claudias, and secretly married young lovers until discovered and sentenced to death. Sites such as TheHolidaySpot.com often maintain the legend that Claudias tried to convert Valentine, who refused and then tried to convert Claudias, going on to suggest that the priest sent the first valentine to the Prison guard's daughter, who befriended him while he was incarcerated, the note reading "From Your Valentine". There are also stories claiming that the daughter's blindness was cured by Valentine's faith. Although these legends are somewhat unclear, it is easy to see how Valentine could be made into the patron saint of lovers. As there are two main stories explaining who Valentine was, there are also two theories as to why Valentine's Day is celebrated on Feb. 14. The first acknowledges only that this date Commemorates the death or burial of St. Valentine, the other points to another effort to Christianize a pagan festival, in this case, Lupercalia. In Rome, February marked the beginning of spring and the time of purification with Lupercalia celebrated on February 15 as a fertility festival. The day would start with sacrifices to the wolf goddess Lupa of a goat for fer- tat if tility and a dog for purification. Their hides were cut into strips and covered in holy blood. Youths were also covered in this blood but washed with milk before carrying the strips through the street, slapping playfullyfleeingwomen to bring fertility or easy birth. Moreso, on the eve of this festival, in honor of the Queen Goddess Juno, the names of young women were collected and put into a lottery for single men to draw. These couples would be paired for the year and this pairing often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius outlawed the pagan "lovers' lottery" for being unchristian and declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 494 A.D. People began exchanging Valentines, but it wasn't until the 17th century that Valentine's Day became a popular holiday in Great Britain. It is estimated that both Americans and people from all social classes were exchanging valentines in the 1700s, even if printed cards did not become available till the end of that century. Esther Howland is remembered as the Mother of Valentines in the US for creating the first commercially produced Valentine's Day cards in the 1840s, as well as for her elaborate hand made Valentines. Cupid's association with the holiday can be attributed to his mother Venus, goddess of love I'm Juno, Godess of marriage and beauty. He himself was known as a mischievous child who flew around piercing people's hearts, causing them to fall madly in love. Today, this lover's holiday is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. The Greeting Card Association P h o to courtesy oftimeIessmyths.com claims that about one billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each year throughout the world and that women purchase about 85% of all Valentines. As for the Christian Nature of this holiday, the response about its roots and historical significance will all depend on who you ask. pregna •«•••is make i nformed. h ealth c onfident choice 700.74 277 S.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers Recall those evenings of free entertainment that deserved an admission, of attending extra credit events worth skipping class for. Pity those students who find none, for it is not the tendency, but the obligation of Colleges to provide them. Do not, for the sake of maintaining academic numbness, discard the opportunity to see and share the application of education.

Among the events scheduled to honor Black History Month at CSUSM was an evening of poetry by the artist Poetri on Feb. 9 in the Arts 111 theatre. 6pm on a school night is an easy place to claim that better things had claimed your time, but the dozens of students who did attend would be unlikely to believe you the next day.

Poetri himself brings the bulk of his performances and workshops to either high schools or college campuses, but is fortunate enough to say that "There's no different format for different crowds because I've been blessed to have work that fits anywhere." Although there can be no doubt that his work would benefit any aspiring writer, when asked about his contribution to Black History Month at CSUSM, Ms. Guevarra affirms that "Poetri has been able to represent a voice not only in the Black community but as a respected poet and performer. I did not choose Poetri only for Black History month, but as a contribution to the lifestyle of a spoken word artist...besides, I don't think it takes designated months to celebrate diversity." �Jock Talk With Josh Uditeli KO's Couture in Two Top 10 movies about sports A look into the world of the UFC BY JOSHUA SANDAVOL Special to The Pride BY MICHELLE HEROLD Pride Staff Writers I finished watching "Mr. 3000" on Starz the other night and I was pissed that I wasted an hour and 45 minutes of my life. To get the bad taste out of my mouth of the worst baseball movie ever made, I watched "Million Dollar Baby" on HBO, and I loved it. A fter viewing those movies, I got to thinking about my top 10 favorite sports movies so here they are, 10 - "Friday Night Lights" surprised me. I didn't think Billy Bob Thornton would be convincing as a high school football coach. It's hard to imagine Billy Bob even graduating from high school. This movie did a great j ob of portraying that there is no greater atmosphere in sports than a high school football game under the lights. 9 - "Happy Gilmore" is without a doubt the funniest sports movie ever made. Adam Sandler and Bob Barker brawling is quite possibly the greatest scene in movie history. It certainly takes an amazing story to make golf interesting. 8 - "Million Dollar Baby" didn't disappoint me one bit. I thought it would because I didn't see it while it was in the theatres, and then after all the hype at the Academy Awards, I thought there was no way it could live up to the hype, but it did. 7 - "Miracle" provided something for me that I wasn't able to experience since I wasn't born when the events took place. The story of the 1980 USA hockey team is something I really only heard stories about, but to see the actual sequence of events was pretty amazing. One reason I don't like seeing sports movies m the theatre is because of movies like this where the audience gets so emotionally wrapped up in the plot and ends up clapping when the team wins a game, as if the game was being played live. However, I really enjoyed this movie because I didn't know the interesting individual stories about all the players on the team. 6 - "Seabiscuit" is a sports movie. Don't think that horse racing is not a sport. I love this movie not only because horse Interested in Grad School? Money for prospective grad students!!

What's not to like about a hopeless animal and a hopeless man who team up and become one of the greatest combos the sport has ever seen? 5 - "Rocky" is impressive because Sylvester Stallone actually wrote the script. Who knew Sly could actually write? The only bad thing about the success of Rocky is that they made about 51 sequels and kind of ruined the mystique. 4 - "8 Men Out" is a movie that many sports fans probably haven't seen. It's about the Black Sox scandal of 1919. I love this movie because I've studied in depth the darkest moment in baseball history and this movie was a flawless representation. The most well known person in this movie is Charlie Sheen and he actually looks like he could play baseball in some of the scenes. 3 - "Rudy" is quite possibly the only movie ever made that makes grown men cry. What's not to love about a small guy who has no business being on a football field and through hard work and dedication actually gets into a game? I love the scene where the crowd is chanting, "Rudy! Rudy!"...sniff sniff. 2 - "The Sandlot" is basically what my summer vacations were like when I was a child. What is rare about this sports movie is that it is enjoyed by even the non-sports fan. I love the scene where Benny outruns the dog chasing him throughout town. Also, who can forget the scene where "Ham" and his enemy on another team get into an argument and "Ham" coins the phrase, "Youuuuuu throw like a girrrrrllll," which is followed by a big gasp. 1 - "White Men Can't Jump" is a movie I could watch over and over again. For anyone that has ever played street ball, he or she knows that the atmosphere shown in the movie was true to form. What's rare about this sports movie is that it doesn't involve an organized sports team. This movie also deals with so many different subjects like racism, violence, poverty, and deception. Also, any time Alex Trebek makes a cameo, you have got to be impressed. Let me know what you think of my list by sending an E-mail to Sando026@csusm.edu. Interested in obtaining yonrPhD? Money for doctoral students!! • The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive/Forgivable Loan Program Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell once again proves his mettle against Randy "The Natural" Couture in the UFC light heavyweight (185-205 lbs.) division on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. In a fight scheduled for five, five-minute rounds, Chuck Liddell knocked Randy Couture down with his signature straight right hand punch in the second round. As Couture went down, Liddell leaped to the ground attack, pounding Couture against the canvas for several seconds before the referee, Big John McCarthy pulled him off and declared Liddell the winner by a knockout. Unlike Boxing, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts fighting events include ground rules as well as grappling rules. Both fighters can pursue their opponent to the ground, and as long as both remain active in their own defense, such contact is allowed under the rules. When one opponent is stunned or unable to defend themselves, the referee stops the fight to protect the fighter, and the winner is declared. The fight is held not in the traditional boxing ring, but in an octagonal ring fenced in with chain link, giving the impression of a cage match. But these fighters are pros, most of them trained and cross-trained for three or even four times the length of time a professional boxer is trained. Their discipline is generally much better, and their skills can encompass Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Karate, and any other form of personal combat they think they can use. Where traditional boxing allows a ten minute countdown, a standing eight count, and a very limited area of legal targets and weapons, the UFC allows no count at all, and the legal targets exclude only the groin, and intentional rapid breaking of the opponent's joints (like elbows, knees, neck, back, etc.) The legal weapons are fists, feet, knees, and elbows as well as chokes, holds, and grappling. In the first round, Randy Couture, a world-class wrestler, went after the takedown himself, shooting for Liddell's legs after Liddell cut him over the right eye in a straight right, followed by a left uppercut combination. Chuck Liddell started to go down momentarily, but bounced back to his feet almost before he left them. Once down, Couture's wrestling advantage could have cancelled out Liddell's heavy hands. Chuck actually took Randy down shortly before the end of the round for a little ground and pound, but the bell sounded after Chuck delivered only a few punches to Randy's left ribs. In the second round, as Couture and Liddell were faced off, Couture made one lateral fake too many and slipped for a moment, trying to cover his slip, he threw a left lunging hook, Floyd Patterson style, only to have it bounce off the back of Liddell's head. Chuck took advantage of the moment Randy left his head uncovered to punch him squarely on the chin and Randy went down. It was when Chuck followed him to the canvas that the referee intervened and ended the fight. A fter the fight Liddell said, "If you let me stand in front of you long enough, I 'll knock you out." Randy Couture had been involved in the UFC since its inception in 1993. He is forty-two years old, and announced his retirement from competition immediately a fter Liddell was formally declared the winner and still light heavyweight champion. As he left the arena, he told the press, "This is the last time you'll see these gloves." Among the other notable fights were Frank Mir's defeat in his heavyweight (over 205 lbs) return match to Marco Cruz. Devastated by a motorcycle accident that nearly cost him his leg, Frank Mir's courageous return to the ring was marked by his defeat, but Mir declared, "I can't give up." Mir will return to the Octagon better prepared next time. Light heavyweight Renato "Babalou" Sobral defeated his opponent Mike Van Arsdale a little over two minutes into the first round with a Jiu Jitsu choke hold called a "naked choke" a fter taking Van Arsdale down to the ground. Babalou has publicly announced his eagerness to fight "The Iceman," Chuck Liddell for the Light Heavyweight Title. When informed of Babalou's offer, Liddell said, "You know me, I 'll fight anybody."

There is "a way* to dress for spring 2006? Is this like the way of the samurai? Or is it more like the way of the righteous man? Call me a bastard, but the idea of a seasonal clothing trend is baffling. Apparently, there's much more t o covering up one's torso than adapting to the weather and not looking like a bum. Fine, I'll.make the decree: Seasonal clothing trends suck and ought to be banned forever because I said so, and I'm a columnist for "The Pride". Oh yes. Well, I've changed course in this week's edition of our RR (you may call it that if you want). This week features the first installment of the Campus All-Stars Profile. Campus AllStars are those CSUSM students whose contributions to our campus merit praise from the press. By the way, where have our campus representatives been the last few monthstf I'm here at least five days a week, I see more things we that have displaced (the poor bunnies) than people that we have elected. Maybe there's a terrorist threat that's forcing them to govern from a bunker below the Mangrum Track. I 'll investigate. Let me get back to the profile; I'll instant message Agent Scully in a minute. It's time to rejoice, San Marcos, because Jeremy Mills is your first Robbins Report Campus Ail-Star. Mr. Mills is the Director of Commuter Student Services for ASI's Programming Board, Vice Chair of ASI's Lobby Corp Committee, Communications Direc- tor and Treasurer of CSUSM's branch of Amnesty International, and he's the Coordinator and a founding member of ASI's Women's Center. In other words', there might be a market for a collector's card featuring Jeremy if higher education was as cool as professional baseball. I asked Jeremy to explain why he chose a lifestyle of engagement. " I'm an extremely active student on campus because I feel that it is important to be involved in my community and with political entities," Mills said. "I have had the opportunity to attend CSUSM and have benefited from all the offerings that campus life has to offer and I believe that everyone should have this same chance. This involvement is what makes the college experience rich and fulfilling for me. The events, the activism, and the involvement, whether in the Greek life, political orgs, athletics or just enjoying an event on campus, all create an atmosphere of campus ^ community pride that makes one's experience at Cal-State San Marcos a memorable one." If it pleases the court, I'd like to add my own testimony. Mr. Mills' work on campus reflects a genuine devotion towards students, and he exhibits thè sort of leadership ability that others can emulate. As a Campus All-Star, he deserves your handshake and a pleasant thank you. I invite you to write in about other students who deserve recognition for their contributions to the campus. I also think that we would benefit from a toll-free' readers' line for those interested in reporting good and "unreasonably flawed" professors. It's easy, but unfair to call everyone super because educating and being educated are super. Letter to the Dear Editor, Today my friend and I went to the dome, we usually go off campus to eat, but instead, we went to the dome. I not only found out that thè University that prides itself in environmental friendliness uses Styrofoam cups and plates, but when my friend asked if she could reuse her old Styrofoam cup to fill it up with ice, she was given a dirty look and a hesitant yes. It is evident that all over our campus we have recycle-mania posters andrecycle bins, yet when we go to the dome and buy a pizza and soda we are served in a Styrofoam cup and plate. Although this is minor compared to other Universities I feel it is necessary this issue be addressed, especially since the University takes pride in being an environmentally friendly campus. Are we-not just hypocrites by not spending a couple more cents to buy reusable plates or even paper plates? Other Universities use reusable plates, cups and utensils, yet we pride ourselves about being the #1 recycling school. Why not start to reuse these items now instead of waiting until they need to be recycled in the case of Styrofoam it is environmentally unfriendly. - We are supposed to be a model for other educational institutions, but how can we pretend to be environmental models if we are being hypocrites by using foam cups and plates? We can spend a little more money and use reusable plates, cups and utensils. What should be more embarrassing is the fact that we are surrounded by intelligent individuals, yet none are trying to change this. I hope others in this University voice their concerns so that we can truly be a model for other educational institutions and environment as a whole. Sincerely, MonicaGarcia-Velasquez Report an Oversimplified opinion Since Mr., bobbins has requested that "representatives" from Women's Studies come forth, I would like to share my experiences. Having received a bachelor's degree from CSUSM in Communication and Women's Studies, I have been a student in many Women's Studies courses. Even with such familiarity, I would never attempt to speak on behalf of an entire department. This being said, I am presenting a different take on the Women's Studies department than the opinions set forth by Robbins. In his editorial, Robbins chauvinistically shrugs off an entire department based upon the social and political opinions of an unidentified Women's Studies student. While I won't dispute the legitimacy of his source, I will say that his editorial reminds us of the importance of critical thinking. Because the opinions of Robbins' acquaintance are in opposition to his otvn, he not only suggests that the Women's Studies department is somewhat responsible for her immoral views (completely removing the personal agency and history of the woman he cites); but, he goek oif to advise that students should refrain from taking Women's Studies courses. Ironically, one issue that Women's Studies often brings attention to is how a white, male-dominated media is constantly criticizing the efforts and attitudes of women, much like the way Mr. Robbins does of his friend and the Women's Studies program. If I were to use the same logic used in Robbins' "report" (i.e., one person's opinions are reflect tive of, and caused by, the major she/he is in), I could argue that students should not read The Pride, t he logic being: The Pride employs an editorialist who intentionally taunts marginal groups to instigate confrontation (sensationalism); therefore, all of their contributors must also think and do the same. Fortunately, I don't have such a simplistic view. It is ridiculous to purport that the Women's Studies department advocates abortion or tells students that African Americans shouldn't vote Republican. Such beliefs are not departmentimposed mandates to study- ing feminism. Women's Studies classes address an array of issues concerning social inequalities in gender, race, class, and sexual identity. Women's Studies is about incorporating women's experiences into the classroom - it's more than just equal pay for equal work; it's about addressing all forms of social inequality: Of course, this is based on my experience. Maybe Robbins would agree, had he ever taken a Women's Studies class. I urge Robbins to stop marauding as the no-nonsense, "tell it as it is" editorialist, and invest time into researching the people and programs he mocks. In the meantime, he should consider changing the title of his column to "The Robbins Rant," because it certainly is not a report. A report implies a level of inquiry beyond: "I know a woman who took classes in Women' Studies, and she thinks this, so Women's Studies sucks!" With deductive skills like that, who needs higher education? Sincerely annoyed, Cecili Chadwick Some is always better than none BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer There are many individuals across campus that dread the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday. Some people even refer to it as the "Hallmark" holiday. Everyone has his or her own reasons for being bitter about love or for unleashing his or her disdain sJbout celebrating love and romance on one designated day out of the year. Some people have been the "dumper" and some have been the "dumpee." Others may have never even experienced the euphoria of being in love. Those scorned by love who choose to hibernate during the holiday or barricade themselves from the barrage of heart shaped items and red colored everything should rent "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." The movie is not a traditional love story, but the plot offers a shift of perspective to the broken hearted. The main characters* Joel and Clemen^ tine, fall in love and their relationship lasts for about two years. They break up and Joel discovers that Clementine has undergone a recently invented mind erasing procedure to obliterate all memories of Joel and their relationship. Joel is in deep emotional torment so he decides to go through the same procedure. In the middle of the procedure, Joel realizes that he would rather keep all memories of Clementine and their relationship then give up any of the good memories. I won't give away the ending of the movie, but since cloning is no longer a mad scientist's fantasy and has actually entered into the realm of reality, mind erasing might not be that far-off into the future or implausible. What if the world got so out of hand that to cure heartbreak, one only needed to go into the nearest mind erasing facility, fill out an application, pay the fee, and have the procedure? Who you are now is shaped by your life experiences. If you erase memories of those experiences, how will you learn f rom them? How will you know what mistakes not to make again and how to improve yourself in the next relationship? How will you know what you aren't willing to take from someone and how. far you're willing t o bend for someone? The, answer to these lessons can only be learned by letting life run its course. Most relationships also have good times. If you erase all memories of someone and your relationship with him or her, you're not only losing the bad memories, you're sacrificing the good. The first kiss, the butterflies, the giddiness, the anticipation of having that person call you or seeing that person again will all be gone. The English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson said it best, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." raiDi comics ! FMJ �Invisible Childern: A cry you can't ignore Documentary exposes present day nightmare in N orthern Uganda BY LISA LANDERS Pride Staff Writer The documentary Invisible Children was new to me. I had been told by my professors to see it due to its profound nature. They even went as far to say that some of their student's lives have changed drastically from one viewing of this documentary. At the time, I was not so impressed with those pleas, but I decided to go and view the documentaryanyways; hey, it beat being in class. The documentary viewing was held on campus last Tuesday in the ARTS Building at 6 p.m. It was held by a fetfow CSUSM student named Alisa Wells. She announced why she was here in front of us in the auditorium. She proceeded to tell everyone that she had been greatly affected by this documentary (as she proudly wore its title Invisible Children on her shirt), and that it means a great deal to her to get the word out on such a powerful piece. Was I convinced yet? No, not really. But what I was about to see has haunted me ever since ... Invisible Children tells a story that will captivate, horrify, sadden, compel and turn your world upside down. Many will leave in shock that this type of behavior is still going on, and the horrifying thing is that most of us did not know until this documentary's viewing. However, as drastic as this may seem, it is worth an hour of your time. The story begins when three friends from the United States going to Africa in search of a story worth documenting. These three guys Jason Russell (26), Bobby Bailey (22), and Laren Poole (21) are actually from our neighboring city San Diego. They looked at this opportunity as an adventure. T l^y were amateurs in every sense of the word. These young adults had no idea or direction when they set out for Africa when the rest of the world at this time was advised not to travel. They hoped to open their lense wide and capture any story. After the comical intro of them trying to slay an African snake, the story drops into a far more serious subject. The boys unlock the terrible truth about what happens to children in Northern Uganda. They stumbled upon a reality that can make anyone sick to his or her stomach. They encountered a horrific genocide mom terrible than the holo- caust happening to young children between the ages of five and twelve in present day. They found that children were leaving their home villages to sleep in clusters in back alleys and basements in the thick of town because it is safer than sleeping in their home. These children live in fear of the brutal recruitment tactics of the Rebel Army which has been in war fighting for twenty years to overthrow the government. The Rebel Army has resorted to abducting children from their homes, holding them in camps and training them to kill. Theses children as young asfiveyears old are being killed, brainwashed, beat on and made to fight as child soldiers. The documentary exposes this present day nightmare and asks three things of the viewer in its opening. One, to expose the war to as many people as possible. Two, to empower viewers. And third, to provide aid in hopes to create a safe environment where orphans and children can live in peace. After viewing this piece you will want to do all of the above. Overall, this is not just an informative documentary, but a cry for help. "It is not only break- ing new ground but it has a bigger impact on my life than any other document that I've seen," said Jon Turteltaub, Director for the National Treasure. It is truly a kept secret that will inspire you in every scene. To find out more information on Invisible Children or to help, go to this website: www.invisiblechildren.com.

Yet don't cut yourself short by thinking that the only good black and tan out there is Guinness and Bass. While that's a mixture that can never really be surpassed, there are others that should definitely be tried and tasted. Mississippi Mud is one beer you've probably seen and walked by before but never tried. Bottled in quart sized, moonshine jug styled bottles, Mud's unique packaging is sure to catch your eye, along with the alligator emblazoned across its front. While brewed in upstate New York, far from the Mississippi River, Mississippi Mud is one beer that stays true to its name. A mixture of dark ale and lager, Mud is a heavy beer best served by itself or with a hearty meal. Although the packaging refers to the brews used in Mud as pilsner and stout, it is most definitely a lager flavor that comes through strongest in Mississippi Mud. This black and tan is dark amber color with a heavy lager odor, yet does not taste nearly as strong as one would expect. The flavor, like the odor, leans towards the lager in the mix, with a taste slightly reminiscent of caramel and roasted barley or malt. There is little taste of bitterness, and the beer itself is light in texture, despite its general heavier odor and feeling. The lighter amber-colored lager used in Mississippi Mud can also be bought separately in a similarly styled bottle, featuring mallards on the front. Although not as common in stores as the black and tan, the slow-brewed American style lager is also worth a taste if you can find it. Mississippi Mud can readily be found at such stores as Trader Joes, Beverages and More, and elsewhere. So give this American style black and tan a try, as two quality beers meet, as the back of the jug puts it, "in Mississippi Mud." Photo by Matt Schramm / The Pride 'Memoirs of a Geisha': Controversy? 'A movie about Japanese played by Chinese, written by whites' BY ALFRED CHU Special to The Pride The New York Times reported on February 1 that the film "Memoirs of a Geisha" will be officially banned in China. The film sparked controversy and outrage when Chinese actresses Ziyi Zhang, Gong Li and Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh were cast as Japanese prostitutes during World War II when the Japanese committed numerous war crimes against the Chinese. The film is about a woman growing up in poor conditions and rising to become one of Japan's most distinguished geishas. Movie studio bosses were displeased with the decision reached in China as it denied their attempt to make a few more dollars abroad. III!! «¡(Èli COMPENSATION I NSURANCE ORK WITH STATE FUND Ä ND GET WORE OUT OF W ORK. "Memoirs of a Geisha," labeled as "a movie about Japanese played by Chinese, written by whites," was first delayed, then forced to be censored for a sex scene, delayed once again, and now banned. For whatever reasons the Chinese government banned this film, it doesn't surpass the obvious reason for the studio's decision in casting: money. Ziyi Zhang and Michelle Yeoh broke into Hollywood with 1999's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." That film became the first foreign film to gross over $100 million domestically and first foreign film to receive the most Oscar nominations, totaling ten and winning four. Li received her spotlight in 1991's "Raise the Red Lantern." From this star power, Zhang, Li and Yeoh, along with their talent, are able to attract audiences here and abroad. The entire intent of any film, regardless of its artistic content, is to make money. You can voice your opinion in pursuit of a j ust cause, so simply realize this is the reality we live in, and the nature of the business. I 'm not suggesting there aren't Japanese actresses that would or can equal Zhang's, Yeoh's and Li's stature and talent, I'm merely suggesting if there were, the studio would've cast them long ago. I doubt the studio purposely cast Chinese and Malaysian actresses in Japanese roles simply to upset audiences. What financial benefits would they stand to gain if that were the case? My confusion and questions ri§e when people are so concerned about political and ethnical correctness about a period piece: what about the fact that a Caucasian (Rob Marshall) is sitting in the director's chair? What about the author (Arthur Golden) of the novel, who is Caucasian? And most of all, do people find the entire dialog in English in a Japanese period piece upsetting? This isn't a rarity in Hollywood. We've seen many Caucasian actors and actresses play respective roles in which the nationality was different f rom their own. For example, Colin Farrell, of Irish descent, played an Englishman Captain John Smith in "The New World" or even a Macedonian/ Greek in "Alexander." Respect the studio and filmmakers' courage to f und and promote a mainstream Hollywood film with an all Asian cast. Now that's a rarity in Hollywood.

X V N O. 4 Faculty protest decisions of CSU Board of Trustees BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Two hundred California Faculty Association members and allies voiced their frustrations and disapproval of the CSU Board of Trustees, demanding that the trustees rethink their priorities and focus on the true needs of the universities. In response to the Board of Trustees decision to increase student tuition by 15 percent while simultaneously granting payraises for executive administrators, the CFA protested in front of the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach and "collectively" addressed the board during a scheduled Board of Trustees meeting, on Wednesday, Feb. 2. "We are working hard against the opposition," stated John Halcon, professor in the College of Education at CSU San Marcos, about the CFA's position, "and we are working even harder to join more in our campaign." Ten diverse keynote speakers, including faculty, CFA administrators and two student representatives, voiced the unilateral disappointment in the Board of Trustees' actions in neglecting the heart and soul of the CSU: the faculty and students. Collectively, speakers highlighted the depth of problems in the system, focusing on inadequate funding, heavy workloads, increased classroom ratios, erosion of salary compensation, resource constraints, the inability for faculty to afford California's cost-of-living and the demand that the CSU Board get their priorities straight. Full-time faculty members receive 25 percent less in wages than comparable California institutions, making it difficult to retain and recruit department faculty. Concerns were raised addressing how many faculty members can no longer afford middle-class standards of living, making it nearly impossible to own a home.

The U-Hour Last semester, ASI ran a pilot program to provide the New York Times and North County Times free of charge on campus. The placards on the newspaper stands may read "courtesy of ASI", but the reality is that all students are paying for those papers. Students walk by the newspaper stands on a daily basis and give little thought to them, how they got there and who pays for them. For a short time, the stands were empty. Now with the semester in full swing, the newspapers are back. Which begs the question: who is 'really' funding this program? Initially, "ASI did pay for the papers to be on campus," said ASI President, Marc DeGuzman. ASI had allocated $7,000 for both the New York and North County Times. ASI spent less than the $7,000 budgeted for the program because the campus is only charged for the amount of papers taken from the stands. This semester, ASI solicited funding from the University. "Last spring the department of Academic Programs was generous enough to continue the paper after the pilot period through the rest of the semester," said DeGuzman. The department donated $2400 to the readership program, but it was not enough to cover both newspapers for the entire semester. The North County Times was able to use funds available through their education outreach program to cover the remaining cost. Though the program is being funded by a different department See News PAGE 2 HW Responsibility See Features PAGE 4 See REPORT, page 3 Faculty and Administration discuss labor grievances BY PATRICK B.

During the meetings, students plan both on-campus and off-campus activities such as the International Fair, movie nights and multicultural potlucks. According to the Global Affairs department, as college students, it is important to understand the significance of being involved in the global community, and with the help of organizations like Global Connections, there are many intercultural learning opportunities available on campus.

We all need you to step up to the plate. We challenge you to come out of the back room and speak openly. The future of the CSU is at stake." Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante, present at the Board of Trustees meeting, applauded the speakers on their professionalism and pas- sion to improve the CSU system. "The magic of education is in the classroom," Bustamante agreed. "And we need to continue to invest in that, rather than outside of the classroom. A 25 percent salary disparity is not acceptable." Bustamante assured both the CFA and the Board of Trustees that the demonstration and presentation of Wednesday's protest would not go unnoticed in Sacramento.

The suspects took the subwoofer from the extended portion of the Ranger's cab and proceeded northbound on Twin Oaks Valley Road in a black Chevrolet S10 Pickup. The University Police Department is currently investigating this matter with a confirmed description of one suspect and details about the vehicle both suspects escaped in. Lieutenant Douglas Miller of the CSUSM Police Department provided some tips to help students avoid becoming victims of vehicle theft or burglary. "If at all possible never replace a factory installed stereo," said Miller, who explained that although stereo equipment tracking has advanced in recent years, the theft of a stereo results in excessive interior and exterior car damage. Secondly, Miller advised, "Do not leave valuables in plain sight inside your vehicle." This tip seems the most basic of all, but Lieutenant Miller explained that students should rethink what is considered valuable. For students, valuables can include not only iPods, stereos or laptop computers, but also textbooks and course materials. "A science textbook bought for $150.00 can be sold back to the bookstore for almost half the initial price, making books a popular item to steal," said Miller. University Police have asked that students with any information regarding this or other vehicle burglaries contact them at (760) 750-4567 or through their anonymous tip line at (760) 750-TIPS.

Guiles, chairman and CEO of San Diego Gas and Electric, climbed in the 'Executive's Chair' on Wednesday, Feb. 1, to share his knowledge, leadership and approach to business strategies. Sponsored by CLIMB, the Center for Leadership Innovation and Management Building, and directed by Professor Nichols and Dr. Pillai, the focus of thè program is to expose students to influential leaders in the community and demonstrate the differences in business tactics and philosophies. While in the Executive's Chair, Guiles stressed his simple, yet sincere management style. SDG&E is a San Diegan multibillion dollar Fortune 500 company, serving all of San Diego County and some regions in Orange County as well, making it the largest gas company in the country. Guiles started first as an engineer 34 years ago, working up through the ranks to management and beyond. Guiles explained how the CEO sets the tone for the whole company, which is why Guiles makes it a priority to treat all employees with mutual respect and dignity, allowing free collaboration and communication needed to solve problems. "The single most important thing" a manger can do, he said, was to "pick people you can trust and then delegate." In this way, companies are able to accomplish 16 hours worth of work in eight to ten hours a day. A CEO must be able to communicate to groups of people, he said, broaden their education as much as possible, develop a passion for what they do, and test it when possible. He urges students to be optimistic in the future and their role in it, and to be able to back up and take another forward direction, if they fall into a rut. The largest operating chal- lenge Guiles has encountered has been the challenge to build the infrastructure to distribute energy for the future and finding the capital to do it without raising energy rates. If the distribution infrastructure is not built, then all of the new energy sources currently in the planning stages, like solar energy, wind energy, liquefied natural gas imported from other states and our nearby neighbors, will not be transportable. New lines of transport must be built, he says, or he foresees availability problems around 2008-2009. Not all of Guiles' emphasis was on his profession, however. He also stressed that people must stay in balance or pay the price. He encourages employees to give back to their community by volunteering their time and money. He also believes in investing in the employee, even offering scholarships for further education, as well as specific training. Guiles wants SDG&E to be a place where people are assured of a good job, where hard work is appreciated and rewarded, where how things get done is as important as good results. Yet, most importantly, Guiles strives to create a company where employees are able to, "have fun, make money, and be proud of what they do."

Faculty members' hours are determined by the WTUs that are sent to the Chancellors' office in Long Beach. The WTUs are separated into two categories, D for direct time, including time in class and class related work, and I for indirect time spent working on tenure track requirements or committee issues. In 1994, an agreement was met to add one unit to each class for the extra work for the instructor based on the writing requirement. If an instructor teaches three classes of three units each, he or she would acquire 12 WTUs. "It began when the founding faculty devised the writing requirement. The idea of making each and every course one in which students could improve their writing skills was one of the ways CSUSM's curriculum would be special," according to a handout from the meeting. In 1996, however, it was discovered that adjunct "received three D-WTUs for a three-unit course (and a full time load for an adjunct faculty member was defined as teaching five-course - 15 units)," stated the handout. Since the school was open for a lawsuit as a result of the disparity, the reported WTUs began to reduce, making it appear as if the faculty did not have the same work load as their peers in the Cal State system. "We generate more hours than our peers," stated George Diehr, former CFA president and CoBA representative for Cal State San Marcos. "This is not policy, but actually guidelines," stated Robert Sheath, Cal State San Marcos provost, who went on to say "this is a pilot process; we are trying to work out the bugs," in response to questions about the reporting of WTUs. "We are here today to demand that the guidelines be revoked," said David Avalos, CFA faculty rights representative. Other concerns of the CFA panel and faculty members in the audience included class size and how the WTUs would affect the tenure track requirements. "I see this as accountability, we need to agree about measurements," stated University President Karen Haynes. "It's about time this campus got beyond workload." The administration stated they will take the grievance into consideration and respond to the CFA chapter at Cal State San Marcos. representation. "It's about creating and protecting a fair and open campus environment which welcomes and supports the diversity of people and ideas." Recognizing that each element is vital for generating a strong legacy, President Haynes believes that the future of the campus depends on the students. "We believe that our most important legacy will be the students themselves," said Haynes. "Our legacy of leadership mandates that we prepare our students. We understand that our legacy is not something that is done,finishedand handed down, but rather something vibrant and living, paying forward in each generation of students who come to our doors and then to yours."

With a buffet provided by Café Catering, a live acappella of the black national anthem, and a presentation by one of LA county's eminent motivational speakers, the event drew students and staff alike. The delicious smells and joyful sounds pouring out of the Clark Field House even lured in a few who had only hoped to get a workout that day. Attending the sign-in board outside was Jen Kidder, director of Campus Speakers for the ASI programming board. Blonde hair and blue eyes certainly didn't lessen her enthusiasm as she welcomed in people from every conceivable ethnic and cultural back- Photo by ZACHARY J SIMON / The Pride ground. This was her third year with the event, and she seemed anything but drained by the task, saying that "as long as they're available, getting a speaker at CSUSM isn't difficult." As for the speaker himself, having never appeared at this particular event before, returning attendants were sure to be curious. Ms. Kidder explained how they made the choice "after reading through his impressive personal and professional biography" but encouraged me to speak with him myself as he mingled casually with the other early arrivals. With so many students perpetuating the complaint that there is no campus life at CSUSM, it begs the question whether putting on an event, even a relatively small one, asks too much of time and space. Diana Wong, however, stated that "attendance is more of a challenge than reserving the space." As the director of cultural programming for ASI, she regarded her task as neither futile, nor redundant. "After taking a Race and Ethnic Studies class with professor Sharon Elise, I saw an application for cultural programmer and I thought about how I'd noticed that the campus wasn't as diverse as it used to be," reflecting also that "these events help people who aren't aware of cultural diversity, but they also help those who want to get more involved." Of course, everyone attending agreed that it was hard to get involved on an empty stomach. The buffet was unfurled precisely at 10 a.m., lining people up for a seemingly endless supply of favored breakfast proteins along with a generous supply of fruit and baked goods. Standouts included what were described as 'cheesy potatoes', tasting more fresh-baked than assembly fried. Biscuits disappeared first from the trays, then under eager helpings of gravy. Though this reporter never cared for gravy in the morning, it made the 'grits', a previous mystery, taste like one part mashed potatoes, two parts cream of wheat, and a slice of humble heaven. Furthermore, it managed to satisfy even this perpetually starving belly well into the afternoon. Café Catering, owned and operated by CSUSM alumni Mark DuBois, has handled more than 2000 cougar events in at least seven years, and it's inconceivable that he won't be invited back again. At 10:30, everyone rose to Ruby Udeh's solo performance of the Black National Anthem, filling each heart in the small room as well as any stadium spectacle. Some sung quietly along, but even had more people been familiar with the words, it's likely they would have remained in silent awe of the performance. The speaker, Jahi Kweli, a Job Searcy specialist for LA County, followed with a warm and casual retrospective of great inventions by African Americans and a story about a short teenager, cut from his varsity team, named Michael Jordan. He continued on to involve the audience with visual exercises emphasizing the importance of pursuing one's natural talent. Attendants, returning for seconds and thirds, smiled back at him over their shoulders as nerf balls flew about and two attendants nearly collided in a dash for cash. Diana Wong, who in her own speech explained the togetherness represented by the beautifully intertwined centerpieces, had mentioned earlier that "food does help draw people . .. but sometimes I wish they'd stick around longer. We definitely don't want food to be seen as the event itself." Associate director of SLL, Gezai Berhane, recalling at least six years of this event, agreed; "ASI does a great job every year. It usually follows the same format, but the overall thought behind the event is what matters to me." As the crowd dissipated back to their classes, or to fill the carryout boxes brilliantly supplied by Café Catering, the speaker remained as approachable as anyone, if a bit more smartly dressed. "I really like speaking to students, knowing that they're going to be our future leaders," said Kweli. Although this was his first time at CSUSM, he has a lot of experience with colleges and non-profits in southern California, and expressed how he'd "like to see more events like this, with a more mixed format and casual Photo by Z ACHARY J SIMON / The Pride atmosphere." To anyone still nervous about the idea of attending an ethnic or cultural event, Ms. Wong almost laughed at the idea, saying "These events have never to my knowledge had any kind of tension or conflict. People always leave happy and full™ Junior, Geoff Wilton, who was on his way to the gym and not expecting an event, can attest to that. "I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it and I was moved by Jahi and his speaking." February finds a long list of CSUSM events to honor Black History Month, and students are encouraged to check with both the Pride and ASI to make sure they don't miss yet another truly fulfilling experience.

The degree to which we are yet so many people do not take advantage able to set aside fear of the undesired, for the of test opportunities. sake of educating and protecting ourselves, The majority of tests are anonymous, is a measure of how responsible we are. BY ANTIONETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer I made the choice to get tested with the notion that I owed it to myself and my significant other to act responsibly. Student Health and Counseling Services offers free HIV testing for students on the first Wednesday of every month. All tests are administered without appointments on a first come first serve basis, and all results remain confidential. Upon entering the SHS office, patients are advised to sign in under a name other than their own to encourage anonymity. Even after patients are admitted to the testing room, they are never required to state their name, address, social security number, or student identification number. The only real identifier for SHS staff is a patient's date of birth. SHS utilizes a rapid test system that analyzes a swab sample taken from the mouth. Test results are ready in 20 minutes using this method, and testing negative under this method requires no further tests. Other test forms include conventional blood tests, oral fluid tests, urine tests, and home tests. Conventional blood tests require a sample of blood be drawn by a health care provider for testing in a lab. Results from these tests are available within two weeks. Oral fluid tests are similar to rapid tests in that swabs of the inside jof the mouth are used, but these samples are then tested at a lab and results can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Urine tests are similar to conventional blood tests, in that urine samples are taken by health care providers and results are made available within a few days to two weeks. Home tests are sold at most drugstores, where the patient pricks a finger with a special device and places blood drops onto a specially-treated card that is mailed to a lab for testing. Patients can call for their results using an identification number that comes with the home kit for anonymous access. All HIV tests, excluding the conventional blood test, are FDA approved. Though the selling point of the rapid test is that results can be provided with little time and effort, the 20 minute wait felt like an homvln that time, I evaluated how I would walk away with results positive or negative. It would be my responsibility to alert my current partner and those before him of my status if positive, but I could walk away with a sigh of relief if negative. In essence, my life would change with a result of positive, but my life would stay the same with a result of negative. Or so I thought. My life did not simply snap back to the way it was one hour prior to my test. Many patients need counseling after HIV testing, even with a 'negative' result, and SHS also offers these services to students free of charge. The office also displays multiple pamphlets on HIV and AIDS as well as other STDs, which patients can take with them to further educate themselves on the diseases and their implications. With all of its available resources, the staff at Student Health and Counseling Services encourages students to take advantage of medical services and testing opportunities.

There will appear to be an outbreak of giant strains of fungus and bacteria, yet this is only the latest art exhibit to be displayed on the typically pristine walls of the Kellogg Library. And the mastermind behind this integration of art and science? Lovefy New Zealand native, Joyce Campbell, grew up on the island, surrounded by a family made up of artists, biologists, and other scientists. This might well explain her creative view into the world of bacteria and fungi. The exhibition she brings is a collection of her photographic works taken over the past six years. Campbell plans on taking this opportunity to explore the correlation of her separate works over a period of time. One of her favorite pieces of this exhibition is titled "subtilis". The open stairwell in the library will enable the 70 foot tall, 66 foot wide photograph to be displayed for art lovers and science buffs alike. "The stairwell allows people to see the work from many different perspectives and to explore it top to bottom," explains Campbell. In order to capture these intriguing masterpieces, Joyce creates photograms by transferring images onto positive photographic paper. These beautifully detailed pictures contain colonies of bacteria and fungi suspended in a gelatinous medium. Though some may consider this to be more of a flashback to their fourth grade science project, Campbell sees it differently. " I'm using photography to still dynamic systems, I'm inviting you to look more closely, and to immerse yourselves within images of structures in the process of becoming." There is a thin line drawn between art and science in Joyce Campbell's exhibit of "Growth and Change". If students would like to interpret these massive forms for themselves, they need only visit the third floor of the Kellogg Library before the end of May, or contact the library at (760) 750-4378. Biology class might never be the same again. BY NICK MCSPADDEN Special to The Pride HEY YOU ... YEAH YOU ... you owe me $27,000 and I am going to collect soon! By the way, if you see your mom, dad, sister, brother, or infant niece, tell them they owe me $27,000 too. And tell them Uncle Sam said so! 'What the heck is this guy talking about?' Let me enlighten you. I'm a finance-major and one of my required classes (FIN 321) is only offered by one professor, Dr. Steve Zera. The other day he brought up an issue in class relevant to everyone in this country and, obviously, all of us here on campus. This being our National Debt, which is going up faster t han... w ell... faster than tuition increases, or maybe even faster then our textbook publishers can put out a new edition of the same book (okay, maybe not that fast). Last semester the debt per person in this country, and that literally means everyone from day old newborns to senior citizens, was about $26,000, give or take a hundred bucks. This semester that per person debt is exceeding $27,000. 'That's not my debt, that's the government's debt.' Well who do you think pays their bills? Right, taxpayers like you and me, taxpayers who have an income and pay an income tax. Taxpayers who, like us college students, will probably be working for the next 20 to 30 years (maybe more) are going to bear the brunt of this debt; unless* of course, we want to do like our parents did and pass it on to our kids. Understand that when all these baby-boomers start to retire, the first of which are doing so this year, they will no longer have an income to tax and the burden will fall to our shoulders. The sad thing is that I don't think my parents even knew what was going on. Reaganomics hit and left us with an amazing debt of 2 trillion dollars. When Clinton came into office in 1992 our debt loomed at $4 trillion. When Bush came into office in 2000 our debt was about $5.67 trillion. As of January 24, 2006, our national debt was $8,185,315,076,347.87. That's to the penny, folks. Wanna know something even scarier? The day before, that debt was about $10 billion less. Overnight we racked up $10 billion dollars! Are you scared yet? Let's get a little more technical. According to government record, our population here in the United States is. If you divide our debt by our population then our "per person" debt is exactly $27,677.95. So pay up! Oh wait . .. you're probably in debt too! Isn't this exciting! I'm bringing this up for two reasons. One is just to promote awareness of a serious crisis coming up on the horizon, but the other is that we have an especially unique opportunity coming up on the 23 of March. When Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from our congressional district's seat in the House of Representatives, a lot of people thought to themselves, 'I want that job.' Those same people are coming here to this campus on March 23,2006 and are going to field questions. Let's make this an issue that gets heard. So, on that day, I'm going to be sitting in that audience and I hope you will be too! Let our potential representative know that this is important. I don't want my future children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren to be left facing this crisis. Check the debt out for yourself at http:// www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/ opd.htm and remember: March 23,2006! Only one airline is Hawaiian.

Some aren't even sure of their major. For anyone at Cal State San Marcos whose stomach tightens at the idea of picking a future path, one office will seem like a godsend. Located in 4201, Craven Hall, the Career Center is dedicated to helping students help themselves by offering such services as resume critiques, mock interviews, and an open lab containing most everything a prospective employee could need. No matter what stage of the job search they're in, the Career Center can help them achieve their goals. "We're not experts in everything, but we know where to find information," said Pamela Wells, the Center's associate director. Connecting students to the community is a big part of what they do. Events like the Resume Blitz, which will take place Mar. 2, allow students to submit their resumes to actual employers and get feedback, occasionally resulting in a job or internship offer. The Career Center also has connections with many San Diego companies and can help students get their foot in the door. "It's surprising," Wells reflected during their open house, "how many students don't know we exist." It's likely that more students would take advantage of the services if they knew how much career counseling can cost after graduation. The career center doesn't charge for any service, except $3 discs if you want to record your mock interview, because part of every student's tuition goes to the career center, not just the students who utilize it. Therefore, those who think they might need even a little help in choosing a career, preparing for that career, or getting started in their field of choice, should stop by the career center.

Learn more about the field of psychology through presentations by CSUSM psychology students, guest lecturers and renowned professionals. The Psychology Student Research Fair is an opportunity for psychology students to share their research findings and ideas with fellow students and faculty. Most presentations are based on projects conducted in their research methods/independent study courses. The allday event will consist of various activities such as a career panel of psychologists, student research posters, lectures and job/graduate school information. The Psychology Student Fair has a "strong emphasis on research," says Dr. Gina Grimshaw, CSUSM psychology professor and faculty advisor for the event. Nonetheless, it still has a reputation as a fun, educational and exciting venue where many different people converge to learn more about psychology. Modeled after a professional conference, the fair gives students valued experience in presenting their work to their peers. Their scholarly research helps advance the field of psychology by presenting new ideas and findings. Off-campus and international guests are also welcome. In previous years, the Psychology Student Research Fair has had guests ranging from UCLA and USD to university students from Mexico. Students' abstracts have already been collected, and planning the exact schedule for the fair is currently under way. Similar to years past, presentations will take place in various locations around campus, such as Founders Plaza, Commons 206, and lecture halls in the Arts building. On the day of the fair, signs will be posted and programs will be handed out to guide guests through the events and presentations. While exact times will be announced soon, expect the fair to take place between 8am and 4pm. What makes this year different is keynote speaker t)r. Diane Halpern, Professor of Psychology at Claremont McKenna College and recognized expert on cognitive psychology, gender studies and critical thinking. She will give an intriguing lecture on a controversial topic: "Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities: What if Lawrence Summers is Right?" Dr. Halpern has attracted attention nationally and internationally through her research in gender and education. As current department chair at CMC and 2004 American Psychology Association president, Dr. Halpern's insights into cognitive abilities between the sexes will no doubt arouse student interests in psychology and draw more participants to the fair. As the upcoming Psychology Student Research Fair is such an elaborate and highly-anticipated event, it might be surprising to discover that it is almost entirely student-run. A committee of about 20 students coordinate, plan and organize the research fair to showcase student projects and provide their peers with access to professionals in the psychology field.

What I find most hilarious about this event is the criticism that Kobe has received. Why can't people just enjoy something so amazing? Is it because he has a few indiscretions in his past? How many of us would be screwed if our whole life was judged on our most embarrassing moments? In my opinion, his 81 points was the greatest individual performance in NBA history and people are fixating on his past. So many things have to be going in your favor to do what he did. You need to have teammates who want to pass you the ball. You need to be facing a bad team. You need to be on a bad team. You need to have a close game so the coach doesn't pull you out after you gain a big lead. You need to hit a ton of threes while still being able to shoot some free throws. You also need to play 48-minutes and take close to 60-shots (Kobe didn't do either) and most of all, you need to really be in the zone because the opponent is going to double team you once you reach 60-points.

Chamberlain was the tallest person in the league when he played. There was no one that could defend him. All Chamberlain needed to do when he played was park under the basket and lift his hand up to put the ball in the bucket. The league had a different style to the game in Chamberlain's era. Teams nearly always scored over 100 points in a game whereas now some teams have trouble scoring over 80 points. The NBA also didn't use zone defenses which are built to stop scorers and slow down the game. Kobe's MVP resume is much more impressive now because of 81 and if the Lakers make the playoffs, I think Kobe will win the award. Just last season he was being booed in the majority of the arenas around the league. 81 created an upswing for Kobe. Consider that NBA cities outside of Los Angeles have actually been chanting "MVP" during some of his performances post-81. Too bad the rest of us can't get 81 to make our past indiscretions go away.

J ust Walk Known slang members using my legs as transportation; I was chauffeured. But what I thought was a sweet deal soon turned very sour. When I first got on the shuttle there were many seats available. Foolishly, I did not anticipate any delays in getting to my class. Several students walked passed the shuttle, graciously declining the driver's invitation to give them a lift. Fools, I thought, they don't know what they're missing. No less than two seconds later the shuttle was bombarded by my lazy colleagues. Like the last life boat on the Titanic, the shuttle was swamped with students and packed perilously full. And yet the driver (bless his heart) continued scouting for more bodies. Up and down the rows we rode, picking up more students along the way. My heart was racing. How long have I been in here, I wondered to myself. Ten? Fifteen minutes? I have to get to class pronto. But there was no way out. The shuttle was completely packed. Elbows and backpacks jabbed me. My fellow passengers were squeezed like Vienna Sausages in a can. "Don't take the shuttle next time, kids, if you think BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer Parking Lot X (or what I affectionately call the TireEating, Dust-Blowing, DirtLot) is not my friend. We have been enemies ever since it was inevitably constructed. A couple of days ago, I experienced one of the most seemingly uninteresting yet poignant events in my college career. Instead of embarking on my usual (sometimes excruciating) hike from the dirt lot to my classroom, I took the shuttle. Ever since my freshman year I can remember seeing a little white van-bus thing driving around campus with the words "Coach USA" patriotically plastered on its side. I also remember wondering where the heck it came from and where was it going. It seems as if fate brought us together, the van-bus and I. As I locked my car and turned up to begin my trek, two plastic doors of the shuttle opened up before me. They were like golden gates to a castle. I was like a guppy, drawn to the lure of an angler fish. The gods have finally smiled upon me! No more walking in dirt for this girl. No more relegating myself to CC^RECtli^^ you might be late to class," the driver said with the halfhearted apology, "see how long it took me to load up?" Too little, too late, bud. I'm going to be late to class because of this shuttle ride and it's all your fault! I am definitely writing to my congressman about this. To add insult to injury, the driver catches every red light, prolonging my anxiety even more. The girl sitting next to me looks indifferent, the word "whatever" molded into her face. She must be a regular. I see the giant staircase by Craven Hall looming in the distance. The shuttle finally slows to a stop and the passengers spill out of the shuttle, stampeding to class. Well, Lora, you survived this one. I appreciate the service provided by the shuttle and its driver, but I think I'll stick to my traditional way of transportation: walking. I have learned from this experience that perceived convenience does not always bring the results I plan for. Pace yourselves. Realize there is no 'easy' button. As college students, we should apply this concept to every aspect of our lives. It's like the wise man said, "if you're running late, don't take the bus." ARTICLE CSUSM g T^UISlé.^^^ HAVE READ LORA PAINTER« BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is still largely considered a commuter campus and as such the campus receives students from all over southern California. You may be able to figure out what cities or counties students are from by their clothing, but the main giveaway comes from their choice of words in a casual conversation. According to the MerriamWebster web site http://www.mw.com/dictionary/slang, slang is "language peculiar to a particular group." Due to its lack of formality, slang may not be accepted in environments that require professionalism, but when the environment is more comfortable and relaxed, slang seeps into the conversation. It helps individuals identify with each other when there may be no connection elsewhere. Certain slang words can identify where an individual is from. San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have their own unique slang. Some commonly used slang used to describe something as nice are, "tight," "sweet," "gansta," "dope," "pimp," and "game." San Diego locals would say something nice is "sick" or "off the hook." Los Angeles locals would say it's "ill" or "off the chain", and San Francisco locals would say it's "hyphy". Instead of saying "really" to add emphasis to a word, San Diego locals say "hella" and San Francisco locals say "hecka". Commonly used slang to say you are going to leave a location are, "jet," "split," "bounce," "roll out," "bone out," "shake the spot," and "cruise." Slang used to letter from the Managing Editor BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer So there I was, walking through the store early one morning in January, looking for some new black socks, when my phone rang. I had lost my socks (along with various other clothing items) at a hotel party a couple nights before on New Years ... but that's another story. Back to the phone call, so there I was looking for socks when my phone rang, and low and behold, it was Patrick Long, Editor in Chief of The Pride, giving me a call and I look for mistakes in an effort to improve the paper. As Managing Editor, I help lend offering me an opportunity I couldn't refuse. a hand to the terrific group of editors I Although half asleep at the time, I knew at work with - Christine, Zachary, Erin, Jason that moment that my days as Ombudsman Encabo, Jason Saumur, and Patrick. I overwere over: I was now Managing Editor of see the process of putting the paper together The Pride. every weekend, and look for ways to make While being Managing Editor is a lot The Prideflyoff the racks even faster. Being more work than I imagined when I accepted Managing Editor has given me a new level the job a month ago, it is also far more fid- of respect for the editors that were with The filling than Ombudsman was, and it allows Pride last semester. me to help make The Pride the newspaper Still, while I'm no longer the Ombudsman, that you (the students) and I talked so much it is still part of my willing duty as Managabout last semester. In a way, my new posi- ing Editor to handle your questions and your tion at The Pride encompasses many of the concerns. Last semester we established a same aspects that it did as Ombudsman; system by which you the students could send say goodbye usually via telephone or letter are "stay up," "late," "laters," "peace," "I'm out," and "I'll holla." Some slang used to describe an altered state of mind induced by alcohol or an illegal substance are "lit," "loaded," "buzzed," and "faded." Car is replaced by "ride." Instead of shoes they're "kicks" and instead of a hat it's a "lid." "Threads" or "gear" are used in place of clothes or outfit. Males use "fine," "dime," "honey," and "shorty" to describe attractive females. Slang to describe the act of showing something off is to "rock," "sport," and "floss." To describe someone deep in a romantic relationship "sprung" and "on lock" are used. Someone trying to flirt with another individual in the hopes of getting his or her telephone number or "digits," is "spittin" or "trying to kick game." If you like someone you're "jockin" or "feelin" that person. If someone is getting upset or angry "pump yo breaks" and "slow yo roll" are used to tell the person to calm down. When you are spending time with friends, usually at a small barbecue or shindig, you're "kickin back" or "chillin." Some individuals may perceive slang as representative of having a limited vocabulary but it's the opposite. The addition of slang to a person's vocabulary increases the amount of words he or she knows and adds a conversational level the individual can relate to others on. Slang changes with each generation and latest trend. It may be hard t a keep up with the latest lingo but some slang words remain constant. So stay up, peace, laters, I'm out. your suggestions, your comments, and your letters to the editor to me - that's a tradition I look to continue this semester. So, besides being Managing Editor, besides running a weekly beer column, and besides trying not to fail out of college, I want you to tell me what you think, what's on your mind. Even if it's bad, even if it's that you hjate the paper - tell me, because I'll try to solve the problem and do my best to address your issues. Thus, until it's summer and I start actually sleeping again (maybe), tell me what's on your mind, what type of music you're listening to, what your favorite movie is, and what's wrong and what's great with The Pride at schra009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

BY ZACHARY SIMON Pride Staff Writer "You just see these movies for the sex and violence." Sound familiar? Well it should. 'Cause you do. Don't feel bad on my account; movies didn't begin earning puerile interest on yours. That we have people who can't legally drink discussing the 'bygone days of Hollywood' falls further at the feet of the critics than moviegoers. It should come as common courtesy, to say nothing of sense, that the average person is interested more in whether they'll see a picture than whether I'll remember it. You don't owe my taste a thing, thus it's up to me to feed your curiosity, or maybe burp your skepticism. Shamelessly cringe at the "Action" pack. Whither without shame at the prospect of "Romance." The stereotypes surrounding these genres are disgustingly true, and nine times out of ten you should be forced to grease your popcorn with your own gonads for supporting either one. The results of Hate/Violence and Love/Sex are too profound and impacting to be dealt with in anything but either the coldest realism or the highest fantasy, hence the inspiration to juxtapose "Hostel" to "Underworld: Evolution". It also seems important to reach out to all those who would 'only' see these movies for the same combo package, to warn against pursuing hungers that could leave them either malnourished, or perhaps bloated. There's no shame in wanting more of what you couldn't get once upon a time, II and none in preferring it now in more refined quantities. (I've been known to dine with tight ties as well as loose belts) "Underworld: Evolution" caught my attention firstly because the first film involved hyper-modern vampiresfightingwerewolves and yet it had NOT been a hopelessly corny piece of schlock. The only draw to overshadow this was the 'R' rating amid so many shameless ploys to exploit the average teenager's underdeveloped value of a filmmaker's time and their parent's money. And yet, even though I'd been surprised into satisfaction by the original, I was still not expecting much from the sequel as I've seen too many CGIdriven movies given a great crew, but no pilot. There are a fair number of overdone lines and performances throughout, each flavoring the incidents where any Yank could have told them a simpler way to solve, or even avoid the present conflict. Ah yes, leave it to the British to cure ham where we would grind beef. On the whole, though, plot and dialog remain solid . .. for a vampire flic. And what a blessing this is, as it would have been a shame revenge after "Underworld: Evolution", and it's worth noting that our heroine is made neither weak nor distant to satisfy any lingering memories of when it was a man's underworld. This brings us down, deep dark down, to "Hostel". Hear this, brothers in horror: unless that special person in your life has a deep love of tits and gore, and I mean 'tits and gore', not nudity and violence, I suggest you not even mention this film. In recent years there have been but a few tributes to a time when the celluloid slaughterhouse and cathousewere separated by nothing but a porous picket fence. Today, indeed, even in their time, the available to dull visuals that will claw the expletives right out of you. We're talking professional, hyper-stylized, exaggerated violence here. Death involves blood and pain, cold Will and unbridled Fury. I raise my glass to its red moon. As for the sex, however, our more Randy Nightbreeds might leave feeling their testosterone unevenly distributed. Yes, our Courtesy of Lakeshore Entertainment heroine does engage in unholy union. It was tantalizing, yet tasteful. There is only one other steam scene, however, and it can hardly be called either. It could have done well as a more raw and carnal contrast, but only if given a little more time and creativity amid the absurd notion that bloody vampire threesomes will see you taken more seriously if you keep your top on. In this respect, however, the average girlfriend is far less likely to demand chick-flic technologies (and apparently unavailable script doctors) give these films a kind of slapstick surrealism. If anyone laughs at "Hostel," it is clearly to suppress or otherwise mask a more embarrassing reaction. This latest work from the director of "Cabin Fever" is most certainly not a chance to convert the squeamish. If anything, it may do the opposite, as it removes any notion of human cruelty as an amusing catharsis with a frank portrayal of those who would treat it as precisely that. Everything about "Hostel" is disturbingly believable, even amid some overtly mood-building dialogue and convenient twists of plotted fate. The characters are well delivered, and the violence, the charnel house gore, is graphic enough to make even Mel Gibson proud, despite the considerable quantity of hot naked chicks fornicating in the first 30 minutes. The absence of complex women does, however, leave a sense that the filmmakers worked in a frame of adolescent isolation. Moviegoers with a clear ear will also notice the disappointing transition in the soundtrack from effectively eerie electronics to base blockbuster bombast. To "Hostel's" greatest credit though, is the malleable final-lesson, forever dancing seamlessly between "don't venture too far into the forest" and "the worst of us is within each of us". Those with a bottomless appetite for the human abyss have an A-moral obligation to see this utterly essential contribution, but the rest are best advised to get their ultra-violent waves through a more obviously fabricated filter. Blood for blood, both "Underworld: Evolution" and "Hostel" maintain a sharp seat-edge, and are worth the theater experience to those already inclined. While the latter may have twice the wit, it hasn't half the grace, and while the former may not send you away in contemplation, insight might not justify the risk of nausea. As to whether sex and violence is ever 'just,' let the older generation decide, with entertainment made explicitly and graphically for them.

Dress for Spring 2006 BY ANDREW RUISEÑOR Pride Staff Writer Men, it's time to drop the collars on your polos and listen up, spring fashion is out and it's time let go and move on. This season is all about being a 70's rock icon to an 80's punk god to the yuppies you were raised by, but before we go into that let's step back. First and foremost, get denim that fits you. For example, low rise ~ not ok (enough with the boxers out already). Your jeans should be higher on the waist, skinnier leg, and a light fade is nothing to be afraid of. If you're going to be wearing shorts this spring, plaid below the knee or destroyed denim shorts are a must to pull off that yuppie/ punk appeal. As far as dressing up is concerned, black or cream pants contoured with an opposite-colored belt says, "I am dressed up, but still edgy and ready for business." For tops, it is all about being that 70's rock icon. Were talking the vintage rocker "T" shirt that looks beat up and thrown on with your favorite band's logo on your chest. Black, red, cream, blue, and other colors are ok; it's spring so feel free to be adventurous. Yeah, there might be some bleach on it and maybe it's a little tight but go with it, after all, you don't care, you're a rock star. Also, men, ditch the sleeves this spring and show of your guns, big or small, and finally rid those tan lines once and for all. But if you're not so much a rock star or a punk prince, feel free to go with floral prints (please just stay away from the Hibiscus). A nice button up with some floral print is just the thing. Not to mention, white fitted jackets are huge this spring, so the lining can also have some flavor with floral. As far as jackets are concerned, sport coats for dinner and jeans should stick to one button, unless you are getting a suit, then it is about fitted double breasted jackets. Not to be confused with the double breasted jacket you borrowed from your dad for homecoming that was also double the size. Make these jackets and coats yours, so put a couple of pins on them to make them edgier then the normal formal. Be you, and be the guy others want to emulate. Now we're getting into accessories. If you want to catch those over critical eyes, why not try a leather wristband, or some dog tags. If all else fails, just have some cool sneakers on, or boots that can kick your best buddy's butt. Men's spring fashion is about being brash and out of control. Be loud, be risky, be you. Modify what you have read and make some of it fit. Beoroftheweek: Capistrano Honey Ale BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer In today's world, where television advertisements for beer are dominated by brands like Coors, Miller, and Budweiser, it's unfortunate that many beers on the opposite end of the spectrum get very little attention - especially when they are really good beers. Micro-brewery beers are one such type of beer, and one very good one is the Capistrano Brewing Co.'s Honey Pale Ale. One of three beers put forth by this small micro-brewery based locally in southern Orange County, Honey Pale Ale has all the qualities that many mainstream beers are missing. With its golden hue, mild hops, and slightly sweet honey flavor, the Pale Ale is a delightful beer, not too strong, like some darker beers, yet lacking in neither flavor nor texture, given its light color. A slice of lemon added to a cold glass of the Pale Ale also serves to mask any bitterness, and actually strengthens the flavors produced by the honey and citrus used. The Capistrano Brewing Co. takes its name and logo from the old Spanish mission in historic San Juan Capistrano, where swallows still come to nest each year. Artwork associated with the Capistrano Brewing Co. features scenes from the mission and the swallow as chief motifs, along with the phrase "Follow the Swallow," on all its products. While the Capistrano Brewing Co. has yet to establish a home brewery in San Juan Capistrano, many local bars in Orange County, such as Boosters and the Capistrano Wine Bar, as well as some in San Diego County, carry the Honey Pale Ale on tap. Honey Pale Ale is definitely one regional beer that is worth following the swallow for.

Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Spring is right around the corner and all the top designers are coming out with their latest collections for spring 2006. Ladies, that means it's time to get into those closets and clear out the old and make room for the new. In order to have the hottest looks, here are ten trends to be aware of this season. With warmer weather and days by the beach, spring collections are bringing in the nautical look with blue and white sailor stripes and, for extra flare, brass buttons, which are great for a day by the sea or j ust to add a little whimsy to your look. Another tendency when the weather t urns warm is to shed those winter coasts and show a little more. Needless to say, skin is in this season . .. or at least the appearance of skin with colors like beige, white, cream and nude. You'll be giving the illusion of sexy flesh while still being covered up. Keeping to the theme of skin, Bermuda shorts, which cut off at the knee, are out, and short shorts are in. Don't be a fraid to show some leg! If you're looking for a more conservative look to cover those cute behinds, go with extremely slender, perfectly tailored pants that cut off j ust above the ankle. As f ar as waistlines go, pants and shorts that bunch up at the top, otherwise known as the paper bag waist, or fold over at the top, are popular this season. For an ultra-girly-girl look, sixty-style baby doll dresses are making a comeback in many prints and styles. Bold prints such as A frican motifs, giant geometric shapes and j umbo blossoms give a dramatic statement to the baby doll dress. But if sweet innocence is what you are looking for, then baby doll dresses made with delicate laces, flowing white eyelet and embroidered designs are a p erfect fit. Now for the f un part that we all love, accessories. Thick belts are wrapping their way around our hearts and our waists this season. Worn high around the midsection, not the hips, they give the waist a cinched in look which makes this accessory a must have. P urses are going extreme in spring. Having an exciting night on the town? Go with a petite p urse j ust big enough to hold the essentials like lipstick, cash, cell phone and identification card. For a great day-time look, go with an extra large purse, but unlike last season when purses were really big with crazy colors and prints, this season is about clean lines and geometric shapes which play into the sixties chic rather than sixties hippy. Finally, the shoes. Spring 2006 is all about high wedges and chunky heel platforms. The style of the shoes encompasses this season's mix of sleek and bold in one simple accessory. With all these tips, you'll look like you j ust f reshly stepped off the runway by getting a head start on the hottest fashion trends. Spring 2006 is all about having f un and showing off those sexy assets that make you a fabulous female. Rockin' at the House of Blues BY KANONNI WILLIAMS Pride Staff Writer With banging beats, live entertainment, good food and freebies, "House of Blues San Diego" (1055 Fifth Ave., San Diego 92101) is sure to be a hot spot for party-goers 21 and over. On the night I visited House of Blues, Feb. 1, west coast rapper/producer, DJ QUIK was performing his greatest hits backed by his live band, "The Formula" in the music hall of House of Blues. The hip hop duo, DUEX PROCESS was the opening act for QUIK, Tickets were sold at $27. House of Blues,fairly new to San Diego, having opened its doors in May 2005, is located in downtown San Diego (partygoers' paradise). House of Blues attracts a highly diverse crowd, reflecting the different faces of San Diego County. The age range, on this particular night, was very broad, ranging from 21 to about midthirties (or higher). While in line to enter the House of Blues, guests were asked to sign up for the House of Blues mailing list and, as a token of their gratitude (or method of promotion), every lady who signed up received two free passes to Club Hustle's College Night, located in House of Blues' Salvation Alley. College Night is every Friday and is well on its way to becom- ing "the hottest Friday night dance club in San Diego." I recommend all the party-goers (21 and up) here at CSUSM go check out College Night at the House of Blues and represent the Cougars, and show San Diego that the Aztecs are not the only ones that know how to party. Clubbin' is not the only thing House of Blues has to offer, if you enjoy southern-inspired cuisine, House of Blues has an experience waiting for you. The kitchen is open daily 11:30 a.m. 'til last call (midnight). House of Blues also offers daily entertainment, from music to comedy shows and performances. DJ QUIK was one of many performers coming to the House of Blues this month. Jr. Vasquez (dance) will be there Feb. 5, Rick Ortiz presents: Noches Rockeras (Latin) on Feb. 8, Social Distortion (rock) on Feb. 20 and Tommy the Clown (comedy) on Feb. 26. Tickets for these events and many others can be purchased at the box office (619) 299-BLUE or through Ticketmaster (619) 220-tixs. The atmosphere is fabulous at the House of Blues. It is large in size, allowing enough room for a very large crowd without having to be packed like Sardines. It has beautifully decorated walls, featuring modern colors, hanging paintings and other interesting art works. One of the best features of the House of Blues is its booming sound system. The sound system features equipment from Telex Pro Audio brands EV, Midas and Klark Teknik. The bass flows through your chest; it sounds and feels really great! The restrooms are well kept, which was impressive to me, because I've seen many neglected restrooms in different nightclubs. The women's restroom was clean with a fresh scent, there were ample mirrors and gorgeous light fixtures. There was also a restroom attendant handing out paper towels, mints and body spray for tips. There's an ATM machine near the bar, for those who do not carry much cash. I really got my money's worth and then some when I think of the whole night. DJ QUIK, who is "blowing his mid-thirties," put on a great show. He poured wine in glasses of those audience members who were lucky enough to be close to the stage. Later, he gave the whole audience a champagne shower; he shook up a bottle of bubbly and popped the top, allowing the tasty, yet very wet, contents to rain down on the audience. Before QUIK came on stage, the House of Blues DJ was giving out freebies to the livest audience members. I was live enough to snag two of six tickets to the Tommy the Clown comedy act scheduled for later this month. Other freebies included House of Blues T-Shirts and tickets to other events. The house special for the night was $5 Heinekens, which was my drink of choice for the evening. I totally had a great time and would recommend the House of Blues to anyone looking for a good time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Festivities began with a performance by world famous singer/ song writer Magdalen Hsu-Li. Hsu-Li was raised Chinese-American in the rural southern regions of the United States. She says, "Unity is hard to find," referring to her song, "Divided State". After Hsu-Li's performance, attendees were treated to egg rolls, fried rice and chow mien noodles. During dinner, music was provided by DJ Ceywut of Victory Entertainment, spinning and providing entertainment for all attendees.

Funds available to alleviate school debt Free HIV testing may not draw in enough students BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer With the approaching deadline for the 2006-2007 CSUSM General Scholarship, students are hurrying to take advantage of the opportunity to alleviate some, if not all, school-related debt. "We offer 34 scholarships at CSUSM. We use only one application for all 34 scholarships," said Michele L. Ojeda, scholarship coordinator for the financial aid and scholarship office. "Each of the 34. scholarships has its own requirements. They range anywhere from requiring a 3.5 GPA, and be a major in Biology, Chemistry or Computer Science (Fenstermaker Scholarship) to The Bree Tinney Re-Entry Scholarship which requires that a student be a female, undergraduate, re-entry single parent with at least a 3.0 GPA. So each scholarship that we offer has its own special requirements." The General Scholarship requires that applicants provide basic personal information, See SCHOLARSHIP, page 2 BY ANDREW M. RUISENOR Pride Staff Writer Free and anonymous HIV testing will be available to students on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at the Student Health and Counseling Services, but despite the peace of mind the test can offer, many students will chose not to take advantage of the service. A common opinion, voiced by many students, follows a logic similar with 'it has nothing to do with me' as if somehow immune to the potentially deadly disease. Even with the opportunity of getting your results back in 20 minutes with the Orasure test, students will continue to pass up this opportunity, for peace of mind. When talking to Nick Tollison a 20-year-old Junior here at CSUSM about getting this free anonymous HIV testing, he expressed his reason for not getting tested; "I'm not worried that I have it. I feel comfortable in the things I have done to be as safe as possible." And when asked if knowing give him peace of mind, Tollison said: See HIV, page 2 All guests received "li xi" envelopes for a raffle drawing. Each "li xi" (a small red envelope often used to exchange "luck money") contained fortunes tucked inside. One lucky recipient received the fortune of the dog inside their envelope, winning a beautiful golden dog figurine. The event also featured the traditional Lion Dance, performed by the San Diego Lucky Lion Dancers, which spreads good luck to all. The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is celebrated as one of the most important holidays in Asian countries. Though celebrated in various ways across the globe, certain aspects of the holiday are universal in all of the celebrations. This helps foster a sense of unity while also promoting diversity within the Asian cultures. The Lunar New Year is a holiday that follows the lunar calen- Photos by C.

Mariscal is currently a faculty member at the University of California, San Diego, the director of the UCSD Chicano/ Latino/Arts and Humanities Program as well as the associate director of the UCSD California in Comparative Perspectives Program. Professor Jorge Mariscal Mariscal has lectured throughout the United States, Mexico • and the University of Havana, Cuba. He is a veteran of the Viet Nam War and has written on many cultural and historical issues including Latinos in the military and the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s. Many of the topics at this lecture will be taken from Mariscal's latest book, "BrownEyed Children of the Sun: Lessons from the Chicano Movement, 1965-1975." One of the main issues addressed will be the way the Chicano Movement has been taught at the university level for the last 30 years. He will be providing a background on the Chicano Movement during the Viet Nam war era and relate important issues to the current conditions for Latinos in the United States. The basic message of the presentation, according to Mariscal, is that people of Mexican descent have played an important role in the U.S. history. "There is no need to fear immigrants and other Spanish speaking communities in the United States even when they, like immigrant groups in the past, insist on maintaining their linguistic and cultural traditions," said Mariscal. Professor Mariscal has plans to continue to collaborate more with the NLRC and would like to see more permanent structures with the center and UCSD. Mariscal believes that these two institutions will help each other learn about populations of color in northern and southern regions of La Jolla. The NLRC specializes in research and training on the Latino population. "I would like people to learn something about the history of Mexican American activism in the United States, the role played by Chicanos and Chicanas in the progressive struggles of the late 1960s and the need to renew our efforts to achieve equal opportunity for Latinos," said Mariscal. The lecture will be held in the Clarke Field House Grand Salon at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call the NLRC at 760.750.3500.

With that, the Director of the Student Health & Counseling Services, Dr. Karen Nicholson said in reference to HIV testing "There is always a possibility of exposure. It is better to know sooner rather then later.. .because precautions are not just condoms." Nicholson further said, "HIV is still prevalent in our communities, it may not be in the news but it is still there." Well, it is in the news today, because one person infected with HIV should be enough to get tested and prompt the use of protection for safe and healthy sex because HIV is still infecting those around you.

The application also includes a required typed two page essay, detailing student involvement in campus activities and community, academic experiences, future academic or career goals, and any adversity that has been overcome. According to Ojeda, students should be creative and take their time when writing the essay because the essay can be a deciding factor in the scholarship selection process. "We would suggest that student's take 5 or 10 minutes to read through all 34 scholarships that we have listed on our website. In addition, the majority of our scholarships do require that the student have 'financial need'," according to Ojeda. "This is determined by the student completing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), every January. This application also has a March 2 priority deadline." The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office received 527 applications for the 2005-2006 academic school year, but the office hopes to receive more with each upcoming year, added Ojeda. Applicants that meet the requirements for each of the 34 scholarships are determined by running the applications through individual reports. A Faculty Review Committee reads through every application and essay, meets to discuss each of the applicants, comes to a consensus, then makes a decision; and while the Faculty Review Committee makes the initial decisions, the scholar donors prefer to make the final decisions. "EVERYONE should apply! It is not a difficult process and it could pay off big time for you. Our scholarships range anywhere from $150 to $7000!" said Ojeda. "We offer our General Scholarship Application every year. But we also post in our office individual scholarship applications for outside scholarship sources. We encourage students to stop by our office periodically and check out what we have posted." Priority applications are due no later than March 2, 2006 and can be picked up in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office, in Craven Hall 4204, or on their website at www.csusm. edu/finaid/scholarship. Applications and essays can be mailed, dropped off at the financial aid and scholarship office, faxed to 760.750.3047 or e-mailed to scholarship@csusm.edu.

Those born under this sign tend to be very loyal, kind and generous. They will also work hard to right wrongs and are very good at keeping secrets. Western Zodiacs are known to emphasize similar traits in their signs. Traditionally, the Lunar New Year celebration starts with the New Moon and ends with the Full. Certain days are set aside for specific events or activities, some are for visiting friends and family, while others are designated to clean and decorate your home so as to "sweep away the bad luck" or "old spirits" from the year before. The color red, considered the luckiest of all colors, is a very important aspect to the Lunar New Year and is used throughout the decorations, while red clothing is worn to help bring that person good luck. Festivities also include the lighting of firecrackers to ward away bad luck and evil spirits. Each of the decorations at the APSS celebration held a specific meaning necessary for having a good New Year. The walls were decorated with Chinese poems written on red paper that wished happiness, health and prosperity. The centerpieces on the tables were decorated with bamboo, tangerines and an assortment of candies, bamboo signifying compatibility while tangerines and oranges represent abundant happiness. The assortment of candy is arranged in either a circle or octagon and is called "The Tray of Togetherness" and each type of candy represents good fortune. The APSS president was happy to call the night a success saying that "people enjoyed themselves, came together as a community on campus, and spread diversity through unity and learning." In addition to campus-wide celebrations, San Diego hosted a Lunar New Year event f roma new venue, at Qualcomm Stadium. In conjunction with the Vietnamese New Year, called The Tet Celebration, this three day celebration was hosted by the Vietnamese American Youth Alliance from Friday, Jan. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 28. The celebration at Qualcomm Stadium had something for everyone, from all ages to all cultures and walks of life. For children, there were many booths set up with games, and even some carnival rides. The Miss Vietnam of San Diego pageant also coincided with the event. Many local and international artists performed songs and dances on the main stage amid the delicious smells of food booths representing an array of cultures. "Having Tet at Qualcomm Stadium is a great idea; it brings greater awareness to not only the Asian community, but to everyone else in this city as well," said DJ Happee of San Diego's radio hip-hop station, Z90.3. In the past, festivities were held in smaller parts of the city where the educational value and awareness was limited. To see the event moved to Qualcomm Stadium was a momentous occasion for the Vietnamese community. Got Deutsch? The German Club seeks to expand their membership BY KATRENA ROBINSON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' German Club hopes to recruit new members who share enthusiasm for German culture, traditions and helping to bring a 'taste' of Germany to the campus. "Getting involved with a club or student organization makes the whole school experience worth while/' said Jean Scheuneman, president of the German Club. The club meets odd Thursday's at 1 p.m. in front of the campus Starbucks. Members use this time to have f un and discuss any necessary club business. To join, prospective members do not need to be German or know German, but must share an enthusiasm for the German culture. And with no dues, the German Club is ideal for any student's budget. Among many of the proud contributions the club has made to the campus, last year's Oktoberfest attracted a considerably large crowd of hungry students. It was the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue drifting through the air and the delicious taste of plump bratwurst that helped to familiarize students with the German Club. Beyond the bratwurst, the event also unveiled the coveted 'Weenie Award,' in which par- ticipants were provided a rare opportunity to project a sausage onto a marked target. In addition to Oktoberfest, the German Club is also involved in the International Fair. This event provides students with the opportunity to sample traditional dishes while also being immersed in the details within each culture. The German Club is always recruiting, willing to take anyone and everyone interested, according to Scheuneman. "I love school so much more now that I am involved with a File Photo Octoberfest 2005 / The Pride club," mentioned Scheuneman.

SAPP Special to The Pride Grass lawns, hedges, trees, and brilliant red bougainvillea ornament the beautifully landscaped campus of Cal State San Marcos. But growing in front of Craven Hall are two special oak trees. Smooth tan bark covers the trunks, and small green leaves cover the branches. A gold plaque stands between them. These are the "Twin Oak Trees" planted in 1995 in honor of the late Marie Van Ness by her husband, Donald. Donald Van Ness died in 2000 at the age of 86. He and Marie moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1977. He was a retired Navy captain and served in World War II. Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director of legislative affairs, said, "Don was an entrepreneur who used to love to say why work forty hours a week for somebody else when he could work eighty hours a week for himself." Bonomo said that Van Ness made his money in a dry cleaning business. "He was one of those folks who decided if he was going to be in the dry cleaning business, he'd be the best in the business. Apparently he was." Van Ness supported a number of charities, including the San Diego Zoo, and was one of the founders of Sharp Hospital. According to Bonomo, the Van Nesses became acquainted with the first president of CSUSM, William Stacey, through mutual friends. According to his Oct. 26, 2000 obituary in the North County Times, Van Ness was a member of the university foun- O n Campus- Math Lab BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer The Math Lab, located in the dark and somewhat poorly ventilated dungeon of the library, provides important services to students. To the students on campus who find math torturous, the location of the math lab might seem quite appropriate.

He donated a $1 million dollar endowment to the university "for the development of entrepreneur and business studies." After Marie died, Dr. Stacey suggested that Don plant the two oaks in her memory. Russ Decker, Director of Planning, Design, and Construction, said that as the Twin Oaks grow, their branches will some day create a canopy of leaves, representing the bond between Don and Marie Van Ness. The plaque between the trees reads "Twin Oak Trees. Contributed by Donald O.

U .S.ARMY �Jock Talk with Josh: Super Bowl preview By JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride Sports are all about the fairy tale e nding. As kids we all play out the scenario w here it's fourth and goal, and the Super Bowl is tied with one second left on the clock. Of course, we always score the game winning touchdown. Not every player gets the opportunity to win a championship. Just ask Jerome Bettis. After the Steelers lost in the AFC championship last season to New England, Bettis took his time in choosing to return for a 13 NFL season. He returned, and now he is playing in hisfirstSuper Bowl, which just so happens to be held in Detroit, Bettis' hometown. There are very few people in th the NFL who deserve a championship more than "The Bus". The entire Steelers team has made it known that they were playing this season for Bettis. Last season when Pittsburgh lost to New England, Hines Ward broke out in tears during a press conference because he thought that was the last game Bettis was ever going to play. When Bettis fumbled at the goal line against Indianapolis in the Divisional playoffs, Robert Mathis picked up the fumble for the Colts and only one thing ran through Ben Roethlisberger's mind. He needed to make the tackle for his buddy Jerome. The Steelers have the clear advantage because they are playoff tested. The Seahawks franchise has never even been to a Super Bowl. Ya, okay, so they have the reigning NFL MVP in running back Shaun Alexander. I would much rather have Jerome Bettis and Willy Parker, because if the Steelers grab a lead, they will not lose it since they have the best ball control offense in the NFL with two run- ning backs who have two completely different styles. Parker is the speedy slasher. When the Steelers need a big play they go to him. Bettis is the bulldozer who is guaranteed to get the short yardage first downs. This means that their running game is never tired and is always an option. The Steelers also have the intangibles like a defense that is filled with playmakers such as Troy Polamalu, Joey Porter and James Farrior. They also have the ability to pull out one trick play a game, so don't be surprised if you see something odd. Ben Roethlisberger is 26-4 in his career as a starter and the Steelers have all the momentum in the world with seven consecutive wins. I never thought I would see a No. 6 seed beat a No. 1 seed in the Super Bowl, but it is going to happen on February 5 when the Steelers win 31-24.

Intramural league CSUSM repares to put Spring sports phree-on-three t preview BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer With spring sports gearing up, our coaches and athletes are hard at work training for what looks like a promising season for Cal State San Marcos. Men's golf ranked third in the country, and women's in the top 10. They are expected to qualify for nationals and bring home a taste of victory. Track andfieldhas higher expectations for their soon to be All Americans this spring, but with sending eight athletes to nationals in 2005, it's going to be hard to beat. "We're very excited for Spring 2006, our teams will do well and I'm sure exceed all of our expectations," said Dr. Nichols, athletic director of Cal State San Marcos. Spring 2006 is looking good, and with four new teams on the rise for Fall 2006 and Spring 2007, our athletics at Cal State San Marcos arefinallycoming around. Men and women's soccer, starting in Fall, both coached by Ron Pulvers, is an exciting new addition for CSUSM. Coach Pulvers was at Baker University in Kansas where he coached soccer for 10 years and built an impressive coach's resume. Baseball, starting in Spring 2007, is coached by Dennis Pugh. Coach Pugh has several state championships under his belt and is gracing us with his presence after coaching for Mission Bay High School. Jennifer Mioo is the head coach for CSUSM's softball, starting in spring 2007. She has her master's degree in academic counseling and has already recruited a full set of players. "It's an exciting time for Cal State San Marcos as we build and add new sports and amazing coaches to our lineup," said Dr. Nichols. BY LAWRENCE DURBIN Special to The Pride Although the NFC champions, No. 1 seeded Seahawks, are coming in as 4 point underdogs to the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers, I wouldn't count them out just yet. This team which is coming into its first Super bowl appearance in franchise history with a 15-3 record, has a few advantages against the favored Steelers. Mike Holmgren, their coach, is a veteran when it comes to the Super bowl scene; he took the 1998 Green Bay Packers to Super bowl XXXI and beat the New England Patriots 3521. Steelers' head coach Bill Cowher can't say that he has ever tasted Super bowl victory. At the helm of the Seahawks offense is Matt Hasselbeck, a 7 year quarterback out of Boston College with a completion percentage of 66.7 this year. Hasselbeck has accounted for 25 touchdowns this year. Behind Hasselbeck will be the always dangerous Shaun Alexander, who coming into this game has accounted for 1880 of the Seahawks rushing yards this season, which is the highest in the NFL. He also scored 27 touchdowns. Hasselbeck and Alexander aren't the only threats on this already amazing offense; they are assisted by Wide Receivers Joe Jurevicius, BY NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer Three-on-three intramural breaks down to $5 per player. basketball is now available to Each team must have a capall Cal State San Marcos stu- tain who is required to attend dents, regardless of skill level. a captain's meeting on January Any student with Friday 30 or 31 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 afternoons available and a pair p.m. The $15 fee will be payof tennis shoes can sign up able at that time.

The benefit of intramurals The cost is $15 per team, which extends beyond alternative th an eight year veteran out of Penn State, and also Seneca Wallace, a third year veteran out of Iowa State, with an average of almost seven yards per reception. One of the major questions for this team is how they are going to stand up against the Steelers' defensive line. The answer is the o-line leader, Robbie Tobeck, who along with being an outstanding center was recognized for his talent by being added to the Pro bowl roster. All of this would mean nothing without the support of their outstanding defense which has been lead by the 5'11", 238 pound rookie from Southern California, Lofa Tatupu, who coming into the Super bowl has four sacks, nineteen assists, eighty-five tackles and a partridge and a pear tree. This guy has got everything that a defensive coordinator could ask for, and he is only a rookie, and by the way, will also be taking a trip to Honolulu for this year's Pro bowl. What I just can't get over is that this team came into the post season with the number one record in the NFC and now they are the underdogs. Nevertheless, this year's Super bowl is really starting to show all the signs of a great game. Both teams are relatively healthy and ready to take home that beautiful trophy and all the bragging rights that come with it. I am sure it is easy to tell who my money will be on: 24-17 Seattle. exercise. A lot of students like to participate in sports, but are reluctant to join a school team because they are so demanding on the student's time. However, organizing a basketball game with friends can be challenging, especially when so many students work. Intramurals allow students to get together and play a sport in a fun, relaxing environment. There is no organized practice and there's no pressure to win. "It's a great way to hang out with friends on Friday and do something fun," said Nemat- bakhsh. Getting exercise doesn't have to involve a boring treadmill and fun with friends doesn't have to involve drinking. Participating in intramurals is a fun alternative to doing sets at the gym or playing video games with friends. Even students who have never played basketball can come out and try something different. "It's a great way to meet new people," said Nematbakhsh. If interested, please call 760.750.6010 or email nemat002@csusm.edu. seventh place and the B team taking 20 . Some of the surfers on the team have had practice competing in other contests such as the Volcom and Matix/ Sun Diego Pro/Ams. Jeremy Cannon explained, "When you are surfing for money it's important to make more rounds. This creates an incen- tive to surf more conservatively in order to continue advancing." With the college teams, the surfers have more of an incentive to go all out in every heat because gathering points is the main focus. The surf team's next event will be held in Carlsbad on Monday, February 20 . Making Waves in 2006 BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN Special to The Pride Taking tenth at the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) National Championship last June only got the men and women of CSUSM's surf team itching to get back in the water for the 20052006 season. The top ten was great, but according to captain Jeremy Cannon, "The top five, and eventually the top three, is where I'd really like to see Cal State, and we have the potential to do so." The veteran surfers on the team were ready to get tryouts underway this fall. With the loss of three valuable surfers due to graduation, injury and other circumstances, the team was stoked to pick up four equally valuable and competitive surfers this year. On January 16, the men and women that made up CSUSM's A and B teams met up at the Huntington Beach Pier to go against 24 other schools at the second event of the season. Points are accumulated by each surfer that advances to the next round. Jeremy Cannon earned 17 points for the A team after advancing to the quarterfinals. Third year veteran Sean Hastings also racked up some points by making it into the third heat. The B team's Erin Lewis earned 12 points and a third place finish in the women's final. The day ended in the CSUSM A team taking th th �Letter to the Editor: Where have all the whiskers goneP Since classes started back up, I've been on campus a week now and have yet to see any of them. I suspect there are still a few around, but I know in my heart that many have died, probably having been poisoned. I know this because I bore witness to one death at the end of last semester. Ifindit odd, upon reflection, that those responsible for the "regulation" would start the "process" before classes were actually out. I mean, why would they want there to be any witnesses? Perhaps they just miscalculated. Those of you reading this are probably wondering, 'what the heck?' Fellow student, have you noticed that the "whiskers," A.K. A. native cottontail rabbits, are... a bit, oh, shall we say, a bsent... okay, how about lesser in number than they were last semester? Do you think this is because the local coyotes came in during winter break and thinned them out? Did you ever give it any thought at all? Ah, now you're curious (I hope). I can't say with certainty, so I'm not going to, but I suspect that the campus facilities staff is tasked with "keeping the numbers down." Last semester I saw a cottontail sitting hunched up in the shade of a pillar in mid-day (not normal behavior), and I knew something was wrong with him. Sadly, I was right, and when I came out from class he was dead. I suspect there were few (students) that saw him, and even less still that wondered what he was doing there, sitting beside a busy walkway. But I saw him, and I recognized his' pain, and it tore at my heart to be powerless to help him. If it had been a kitten, or perhaps a Labrador puppy, or a red-tailed hawk, or a coyote . .. how many more would have noticed? The "management" of native wildlife goes far beyond the borders of our campus community. Our attitudes toward those animals and things that we don't under- stand or appreciate causes misunderstanding, pain, and suffering. Look around you, what's going on? Are there teens setting cats on fire for fun, maybe next week they'll be taking rifles into classes. The animals in the lab, what are they really going through? My question is, "Where have all the whiskers gone?" What's yours? BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride I'd like to forgive the Women's Studies Department for not addressing the concerns that I raised in my first column. They must have been out shelling human decency in the War on Embryos. Too harsh you say? Hey, I love freedom too. On the subject of freedom, the Justice Department recently subpoenaed the internet search engine company Google, Inc. to relinquish data about the search queries its users made over a two month period of 2005. The subpoena is related to the Department's attempt to appeal the Supreme Court's injunction on the Child Online Protection Act (COPA). Said act penalizes website opera- tors who allow minors to view pornography. Google's response: Take a hike. My response: Bravo. Let's accept the Supreme Court's ruling that "COPA was not the least restrictive means available for the Government to serve the interest of preventing minors from using the Internet to gain access to harmful materials." I'm sure ya'll understand that the government cannot deny a fundamental right unless it proves that (a.) the policy/ law is related to some compelling state interest and that (b.) there aren't less restrictive means. While the Supreme Court might have beenrightin ruling that COPA fails the aforesaid test, I struggle with a notion that the Court, the federal government, and probably even Google, all accept: the notion that preventing minors from using the internet for pornography is a compelling state interest (which would justify restricting freedom of speech/expression on the net). I understand that the federal government has a right to regulate commerce and a legitimate concern for decency and innocence, but it seems that preventing minors from watching dirty love on a computer is more of a compelling parental interest. Wouldn't most people agree that proper parenting is the best solution to the internet porn bug? If that is the case, should compelling interests be deemed compelling when the efficacy of government action is second-rate? I applaud Google for its refusal to cooperate, for I believe that the benefits of protecting privacy are more significant than the costs of slowing the government's intrusive attempt to accomplish something that parents are more responsible and prepared for themselves. Chew on that idea. I could be wrong. In an effort to further explore the status of freedom in America, here's my take on the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program. The Top 3 List: Things I would say/do if I knew the NSA was wiretapping my phone line. #3 "Hey Mr. NSA man, I know that you're listening.

E scondido & Norte Pkwy tH w ww.ustinc.com M /F/D/V �Forget what you think, and see Brokeback Mountain BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Chances are I don't need to say anything about this movie. A review of Brokeback Mountain is more or less completely irrelevant in any assistance for formulating your opinion. When it comes to controversial movies like this, most everyone knows whether or not they will enjoy the movie before they even see it, if they ever in fact do. But, this movie has already won 4 Golden Globe awards, including best dramatic motion picture, so maybe it's worth giving it a fair chance. So let's cut to the chase already. Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) are two cowboys in the sixties herding sheep across the dramatic expanses of the Wyoming landscape. After finishing the summer's job, Jack and Ennis return to their normal lives. The two men get married, have children and move to opposite ends of the country. For the next twenty years, the two keep in touch and manage to see each other a few times a year, catching up on their separate lives. Roll credits. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the two menfindtheir soulmates in each other and fall passionr ately in love. Although living straight men's lives when not on Brokeback Mountain, the two seal their love for one another from all those around them. That one summer's job back in the sixties unveiled an undeniable connection between the two, forever changing the two men. The story weaves in and out of the struggles with keeping a secret passion for an outlawed love from the world, all while living an "acceptable" life back home. The infamous tent love scene was acted out in the first fifteen minutes of the movie and left a rigid stiffness with most Photo courtesy of Focus Features of the shocked audience. However, as the story progresses and the two cowboys find themselves more comfortable with one another, the love story evolves and becomes far more realistic and understandable. Naturally, as a critic, it is easy for me to pick apart lovers on screen relationships or the lack thereof, however as the awards indicate, Ledger and Gyllenhaal capture the emotion undeniably. The entire movie pitted the stark contrast of the expected stoic, heterosexual cowboy with the soft, emotional, gay one. The differences between the majestic beauty of Brokeback Mountain and the relative yawn of a town both men would eventually return to also polarized the two lifestyles; even the drastic difference from the love the men shared with each other and the relative duty they served to their wives. Every single aspect of the movie was in opposition to something else, and the two main characters find themselves constantly in the middle of their competing worlds; not allowed to love each other but unable to turn their backs from it. Best Dramatic Picture, Best Actor, Best Motion Picture, and Best Screenplay, the awards speak for themselves. Guys and girls, men and women, straight couples and gay couples should find this movie at the least moving, and at the most, as one of the best movies of the year. I give Brokeback Mountain 4 paws out of 5. It's a wonderfully acted movie, both visually and emotionally stunning to anyone who sees it. H o w T o ...Destroy your denim BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Photo By Amanda Keeley / The Pride Destroyed denim is definitely a hot look, but to achieve the distressed appearance, you either have to wear your jeans out and let them naturally wear or you have to buy them that way. But to actually wait for your denim to wear and tear takes way too long and most clothing stores don't even carry destroyed denim. So, even if you find the right store and your size, it can dent your wallet up to 80 or 100 dollars. Well, good news. There's an easy and quick way to get this great damaged look with the jeans you already have at home. First step: pre-wash your jeans in a washing machine along with fabric softener, old tennis shoes and a towel. This helps to soften the denim so it is easier to destroy. Second step: mix one part bleach with two parts water. This solution will be used to make the worn, faded look. Third step: put jeans on and sit down and use the bleach solution to dab on the scrunched up areas of the jeans and other places jeans would fad naturally, for example, the back pockets and knee area. Forth step: take sand paper and rub on knee area and hemlines. Sand for about 20 minutes, depending on how faded you want your jeans to look. Fifth step: take a utility knife and cut two straight horizontal cuts about two to four inches apart. Now slide your hand behind the denim you just cut. Sandpaper the strip of denim you created until you start to see tiny holes and white cords. Separate the white cords with your fingernails, but be careful you don't want to rip the cords. For an extra destroyed look, take a cheese grater and rub around the main holes you created for a unique look. Sixth step: if you want your jeans to look extra old and aged, soak the jeans in coffee over night. Lastly, put the jeans in the dryer on high. Feel free to add any special touches like paint splatter or grease smudges. Remember, it's up to you: be creative. BEER. OF THE WEEK: ImyerM BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer While Samuel Adams is far from an unknown beer, anyone familiar with the seasonal brews put forth by Sam Adams knows that they produce many lesserknown yet exceptional beers. The limited edition Imperial Pilsner is one lesser-known beer by Samuel Adams that you might want to get your hands on while supplies last. Brewed as a special Fall 2005, limitedly produced beer, the Pil- pilsner sner was brewed with large quantities of Hallertau hops from Bavaria in Germany. Featuring a dark golden-brown color and cloudy complexion, the Imperial Pilsner is a unique tasting treat that may not agree with all palates due to its strongflavor.Yet, those who do not mind the bitterness and citrus produced by the extremely large quantity of hops obviously used in this brew, will appreciate the richness of flavor and smooth, almost creamy, texture of this beer. Bottled in pint and 8 oz bottles, instead of the usual 12 oz bottles used with most beers, a large bottle of Imperial Pilsner with a light meal or dessert is a great end to a night. Plus the large quantities of hops present in the Pilsner will ensure a goodnight's sleep for those lucky enough to find a bottle. While a limited edition beer, released for last fall only, some stores still have a few bottles left on the shelves for those who might have missed the Imperial Pilsner last year. A strong-flavored and unique beer, the Imperial Pilsner is worth the search and a taste before it disappears for good.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Books for more than 22 professors did not arrive to the University bookstore before the end of the first week. Of the 'Alert' cards marking these particular empty spaces, some explained that these titles were not available due to late order, while others read that this was due to late instructor order. Whether or not there was an intended difference between these two labels remains to be seen. In trying to explain the issue, Professor Quinney speculated that "The bookstore gets hit really hard all at once with orders from faculty. Perhaps they do not yet have a sufficiently efficient system in order to handle BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Police are working to combat the limits on department expansion by working to increase campus involvement within their department. One such method is the inclusion of the officers formerly assigned to Parking Services while also internally training the campus Community Service Officers. Effective this semester, the Community Service Officer staff has increased to 12, which therefore allows two officers on duty at all times. "Because the parking officers are responsible for enforcing vehicle code laws and regulations, they now answer to University Police," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard. Woodard also commented on the benefits of including these officers BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN stating, "By combining the offi- Pride Staff Writer cers in these departments with our own, campus patrol power is Cal State San Marcos' Green increased."

Consistently, professors said that they inform their students of f uture reading lists as soon as possible so that they can purchase books online. Professor Charles, however, expressed that he was "actually quite sympathetic to the plight of bookstores in this age of Amazon. I realize this isn't true of the sciences, but for history books that are not survey textbooks (and even for some books that are) the greater volume and the lack of "bricks and mortar" allows Amazon to undercut the bookstore price considerably, even on used books." When questioned on this matter via email, most of these professors remarked that they had no criticism of the bookstore staff.

The building will provide the necessities including a fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and a floor for students to sleep on. Trip cost is $200 per student and, according to the ASI Activities Coordinator, Sara Gallegos, fundraising opportunities will be available for students in the hopes of covering all expenses. Interested students need to apply by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and submit an initial deposit of $50. Applications are available in the ASI business office, the Student A ffairs office, or on the ASI webpage at www.csusm.edu/ASI. If students have problems making the down payment by Jan. 31, they can arrange -special payment options with Gallegos. The final balance of $150 will be due March 10. At this time, ASI can only offer the trip to CSUSM students, faculty and staff. Participants are not required to have prior skills, but should come willing to take part in the project enthusiastically. The participants are expected to contribute to the planning of the trip, which involves attending biweekly meetings and fundraising. Outside of working on homes, the coordinators of the trip want to plan other f un activities such as sightseeing in the local areas. The idea behind this trip is to break away f rom the hazardous traditions of spring break to create a safe, f un environment for students to do something constructive. This explains the big rules: no drugs, alcohol or gambling during the trip. Some benefits to choosing Alternative Spring Break over the traditional Spring Break include: meeting new people, learning new skills, immersing yourself in the reality of hardship, working with a highly regarded non-profit organization, building your resume, partaking in change, and creating a positive, lasting memory. "It is hard to put in words the feeling that you get when you take yourself out of your comfort zone and learn things about yourself, and what your abilities are," mentioned Gallegos. Students looking for something more meaningful to do with their time off should look no further than Alternative Spring Break where space is still limited.

Cal State San Marcos provides students, faculty and staff with many available options to contribute to a 'greener' campus and environment. Recycling bins can be found next to almost every exterior trash can and in the hallways of many high-traffic buildings. From scribbled-on pages to plastic coffee cups to coffee grinds, the Green Team enthusiastically encourages everyone to recycle. To best help eliminate the need for recycling, Cougars can purchase reusable cups, available in the University Store and in The Dome, which come with a complimentary drink. Reducing is also a recommended option. Habits such as printing on both sides of a paper and using Tupperware instead of Ziploc are highly recommended. While recycling is mandated in California's public institutions, it's hard to understand how highly the honor and prestige is in winning the competition. "This is awfully big on the east coast. We didn't really know how big this was. It has national resonance. We've been put on the map, in a positive way/' mentioned Hanson about Cal State San Marcos' win last year. "The competition is only going t6 get bigger and bigger and bigger." The slogan is: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling should be considered the last option as with this year's new focus, Cal State San Marcos has been challenged to reduce its overall campus-wide amount of both trash and recyclables.

Across the Globe, and Women as Global Business Leaders." Women's Studies has approximately 30 students participating in the major program, with additional students participating in the minor program and at least 500 students enrolling in various courses to satisfy upper and lower division requirements. Equipped with three tenure professors and an average of five to seven lecturers, the department also hopes to expand its staff to accommodate the new coursework and help draw in students by offering more consecutive classes. "The task force seems interested in our transformation and direction of the department. The key message we have received f rom them has been to expand our core offerings," said Allison, "by relying less of sociology, psychology and other majors to support the degree program by sharing courses. We will be working on strengthening our internal capabilities." If this proposal for Gender and Sexuality Studies is approved, by fall 2007 students will have more courses to choose from that involve contemporary issues with a globalfocus.

With this proposed department-wide transformation, however, the major would expand to include more courses that relate to all genders and concepts of sexuality. "One change that we are proposing is to require students within the major to take WMST 341: Men and Masculinity, which has previously been an optional course," said Allison. "We really want to emphasize the gender element. We will still have a number of courses that will specifically focus on women and girls, including an area of focus on women in all cultures.

We have been on the education grind now for at least four years straight, accustomed to writing papers, group work, lectures, and of course that mile walk we must endure to get to our first class. Every semester we go through these rituals in hope of a promising career that will propel us into the next step of our young adult lives. Undoubtedly some of us already have a career plan for the next five years after college, however, most still answer Grandma's notorious Christmas dinner question: "So what are you going to do when you get out of school?" with a solid "I'm not sure yet." Many then think to themselves and decide that whatever comes along is supposed to, justifying it as a matter of fate. Maybe it was fate that helped me find a person who has survived the CSUSM experience and is now very productive in her new career. Casey Raymond graduated in 2003, but started at a junior college near her home in Rancho Cucamonga just to fulfill her general requirements. It was not until she took a Sociology course there that she became interested in it for her major. "I wanted to learn about society and the people in it," she reflects. Her next step in completing her general Ed was to find a Cal State that would not only be good for her major, but would also fit her per- sonal needs as well. So, as most of us would do, she went to the internet for answers. Consequently she found that Cal Sate San Marcos was rated third among the top five schools for Sociology. She also relished in the fact that it was one of the newest Cal States and was still very close to the beach. Unlike a growing number of students, it took Casey only a total of four years to graduate. "I took more than a full load each semester, I took a summer school course, and I really like school, it was just easy for me." In addition to her maintaining a full load she also worked for Ralph's Grocery Store as a cashier. And yes, she did endure the strike. Even though she was making more money than some people field. with degrees, she still says that When asked if she could have now, "because of my degree I feel accomplished this goal without that it has given me an edge over her degree she replied, "Yes, but those in my field.

The program is still under development but, if implemented, it will allow students and faculty to purchase Microdot kits from the University Store for marking valuables such as laptop computers, cell phones, iPods, books, calculators and palm pilots. If stolen, marked items can be traced by University Police according to the Microdot patterns made by the item's owner which can be made visible only by black light. "Items can also be traced through pawn trained in CPR, first aid, and AED use. This is a great first step.

CSUSM Police Officers will continue to attend Monday night dinners at University Village to allow students there to become more familiar with their services. Also, by Fall 2006, Community Service Learning will begin working with the University Police Department to provide internships for Criminology majors. Moving forward in 2006, CSUSM Police would like to work to dissolve boundaries between students . and officers. Chief Woodard urges all students to either visit the University Police Department or participate in their events this semester to form a better understanding of the services they also provide.

Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Party. No Sleep. Sound familiar? This was and is my life. I may be new here to the CSUSM campus, but attending different colleges and universities is nothing new to me. I'm 25 years old, graduated high school in 1998, and am literally working on my "10 yr. Bachelor's Degree". I grew up in San Diego, the oldest of three children. Although others may have said I had strict parents, to me I had "abnormally" strict parents. If homework was due at the end of the week, my parents made sure that it was completed the same day I received the assignment. I was not allowed to talk and gossip on the phone like most kids did, I wasn't even allowed to know any boys, let alone talk to them! Not only did homework have to be done before I was allowed to watch TV, but also all household chores. Take out the trash. Fold the laundry. Clean my room. Wash the dishes. It was unbearable! Naturally, as soon as I graduated high school, I took the first chance I got to get out of my parents, grip. I fled to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Why Utah of all places? Well I was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. My parents did everything they could to talk me into staying in San Diego and attending Mesa College, but I was determined to get away and see what was out there. Having sent in my acceptance to BYU at the very last minute, I was not able to get into the dorms there, so as a 17 year old freshman, I shared a three bedroom apartment with five other girls. I was thrown into my own version of MTV's Real World. Now that I was free, f ree as a bird, I went out of control. I had What if no limits, no boundaries, no one telling me what to do. It was great!! Or so I thought. Do you know how much partying they do in Utah?! Well* I was always out clubbing, shooting pool, going to house parties, and whatever else I could do, I did. Of course I never showed up to my morning classes, and my grades slipped. And yet, as stubborn and hard headed as I was, I actually started to miss my family and friends in San Diego. My parents convinced me to move back a fter j ust one year at BYU. I figured they were right; I had no clue what I wanted to major in, I was living off student loans, I was 18 and as lost and confused as ever. They had reeled me in with the line, "Come home where it's f ree, take the time to find what it is you want to do, then go back up there with a plan." I never went back. You can't give a kid candy, then take it away and expect everything to be ok. My f reedom was my candy, and the minute I moved back home, the candy was snatched right out of my fingers. I had a curfew, I was not allowed on the phone a fter 9pm, I was not allowed out of the house unless my parents knew and met who I was going out with. It was back to the jailhouse for me! I soon obtained a j ob and attended Mesa College. I was a part time bank teller, part time college student, but also still a part time partygoer. I quickly became a shame to my parents as I spent several years bouncing around the San Diego County College District. Miramar, City, Mesa, I've almost attended them all. In the midst of this, I thought that I had to obtain my freedom back, so I moved out and got a roommate. Life was soon a lot harder than I had expected it to be. But as hard headed as I am, I was not going back to that jailhouse even though the pressure was on nice and strong. My younger brother was doing well at San Diego State University, and somehow, I made my own way into SDSU. I'm I hated math and science, and I loved to talk and write, so majoring in Communication j ust came naturally for me. At this point, I was working two part time jobs j ust to pay the rent, and it was safe to guess that my grades at SDSU were starting to slip. In fact, they slipped to the point that I found myself on academic probation, then disqualified. This was a cold hard slap in the face. I was then determined to get back into school and do it right. SDSU would only take me back in a fter a period of time, and under certain criteria that I thought was a bit ridiculous, so I explored my options. There were a few people I knew who had attended and graduated f rom Cal State San Marcos, and offered high recommendations. Some said it was a smaller campus, less crowded. Others have said it's j ust the atmosphere that's better. All have warned me about the stairs, calling it CSU Stair Master! For the week that I've been here I have noticed that the campus is beautiful. The grounds are kept nice and clean, and parking is not nearly as bad as it is at SDSU. The people here at CSUSM seem a lot more down to earth and easy to talk to. I 'm not sure what it is about this place, but I 'm confident that this will be my last stop at a college or university. In college, I leaped at a chance to get a tutor to help me pass my horrid math classes to get on with my life. My problem is I 'm good at being enveloped in the now. At seventeen I felt old and that life was flashing uncontrollably before my eyes. Once through junior high, every following year seemed to gather speed. I didn't realize as much as I do now that high school was truly only a stepping stone for the next phases of life. No time slips by as quickly as the college years. I have seen this school expand and change since I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2002. I can still distinctly remember freshman year in which any student could find parking i athe first lot without waiting for another person to leave (and I 'm talking about prime, first row parking!). I picture the tiny old library and how I had to carry my track sports bag with me all day because I carpooled to a school that didn't yet have a field house f ull of lockers. My first friendships were formed with people on the track team my first year, and I remember how most of them didn't return my second year.

Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela are left. I will start by eliminating Puerto Rico because I don't think they can get past Cuba which will cause them to get the No. 2 seed from that pool. However, they do have a shot. Their offense consists of Carlos Beltran, Juan Gonzalez, Ruben Sierra, Bernie Williams, Jose Cruz Jr., Felipe Lopez, Carlos Delgado and Jose Vidro. Without a doubt, they have the greatest catching crew in the tournament with Javy Lopez, Ivan Rodriguez, Bengie Molina and Yadier Molina. They are also managed by one of the best managers in the tournament in Jose Oquendo. Say Adios to Mexico because they're in the same pool as the United States and Canada which means Mexico might not even get past pool play. They do have a few nice players like Nomar Garciaparra, Erubiel Durazo, Jorge Cantu, and Adrian Gonzalez! However, that is not enough fire power to make up for weak pitching that only has Oliver Perez, Esteban Loaiza and Rodrigo Lopez worth mentioning.

Nü oliar i ' m l o v i n ' it �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Parking is NOT easy when you are a disabled student My first week back to school involved abdominal surgery and a special medical parking permit at Cal State San Marcos. I am a disabled student. My disease requires that I have surgery about every year or so, depending on the severity of my symptoms. This past week was the third surgery I have endured while attending CSUSM. Since I still had two weeks left to recover once spring semester started, I was eligible for a temporary medical permit so that I could park in what most students call The Dome parking lot. This sounds great. As anyone who attends CSUSM would know, walking up Craven Rd. with your backpack wouldn't work out after having abdominal surgery. So, here is the problem. The first day of school I arrived at 7:30 a.m. I arrived to find that the one medical permit spot on the CSUSM campus had already been taken. I spoke to someone in parking services to find a solution. I was told to "arrive earlier, or, get a ride to school." I was also told to move my car since I was not in the medical permit spot% I explained that I just had abdominal surgery, but the parking services still said I had to move my car. Why is it that, with a school of over 7,000 students, there is only one medical parking spot? There used t o be two. I knew from my past surgeries that it was difficult to get one of the two spots, but for some reason, parking took one of those spots away. I can't imagine how parking ser- vices could decide to do this. First of all, our campus is not very disabled student friendly. It is very difficult to get around when you are trying to heal, or dealing with the daily symptoms of your disability. If you are a student with a disability, or who has to have surgery, or even a student who has had some type of accident, it is not easy to get around. Why doesn't packing care about having enough medical permit spots to serve students with disabilities? The answer: If a student needs a medical/disabled parking pass for more than 14 days they can apply for a DMV permit which would give them a placard to park in handicap parking. This means anything less than two weeks and you are going to be one of the many disabled students fighting for that one spot. This may be because parking does not legally have to supply these spots; they have a choice; and here at CSUSM, they choose not to. Well, they choose to supply one. I find this deeply disheartening. In fact, it is completely ridiculous. community need to serve our disabled students to the best of our ability, students with longterm disabilities and short-term as well. We need more medical permit spots at Cal State San I found out in my last surgery Marcos! I am not asking for that I will probably never have to more parking spots, just a conhave another surgery for my dis- version, of regular student spots ease again, but I know that I am to medical spots that are close to not the only disabled student who campus and don't involve stairs. has struggled in the past to park I wonder how many disabled close to campus while recovering, students have stopped asking and I know many more will in the for medical permits when they future. I also know that many stu- needed them because of the difdents struggle with more serious ficulty they had in past experidisabilities than my own, and I ences. I wonder how many other can't imagine the frustration and students were told to move their car when it took every ounce of anger they must feel. I urge you to write letters and energy they had just to get there. send emails to parking services I wonder how many disabled demanding that we as a campus students called parking to ask Robbins Report By JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride In a speech last week, you said "I think the worst thing that can happen for decision-makers is to get a filtered point of view." Mr. President, we agree on something. I know that you're busy with all that Commander in Chief business, but if you have a moment I'd like to f urther contaminate your understanding of current events. According to the folks that repeat stuff for money, ydu would prefer a "diplomatic" solution to the almost nuclear (translated: nukular) standoff with Iran. While diplomacy is also my preference, I want to make sure that we both understand what the word doesn't mean. The word "diplomacy" derives from the Greek word "diploma", which describes something that has been folded in half. One can trace the effects of this original meaning all the way up to modern American diplomacy. I think it was a famous gay marriage activist who, during long distance calls to his suspicious Arab lover, advocated folding the entire world into two sides—one Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride made up of those who are with us, and another made up of those who are against us. I digress. Clarification #1: The fact that ''diploma" describes something that has been folded into two should not compel you (in preferring diplomacy) to treat the Middle East like a piece of paper with Operation Iraqi Freedom to the right of the fold and Operation Iranian Freedom to the left. Plus placing "evils" beside a fold rather than upon an axis might confuse people. In addition to being descriptive and potentially confusing, one might also consider the word "diplomacy" to be ominous. For instance, one can arrange its letters to spell words like Modi (which means wrath in Norse Mythology), P.L.O. (which is a terrorist organization according to Israel), and malo (which means bad in Spanish). Clarification #2: The sum of diplomacy doesn't have to equal the sum of its parts. I mean, one can arrange the letters in the name George Walker Bush to spell "war loser" and "AWOL shrub". Check it out.

Here's the gist: a noble knight, Tristan (James Franco), and soon to be Queen Isolde (Sophia Myles) are born into royalty for rival countries. The stars align and fate intervenes, bringing the two together in a chance meeting some twenty or so years later. The two secretly fall in love and are then torn apart in what becomes an epic struggle between loyalty to ones' family and true love. If this story sounds vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you have a pulse! It's been done over and over and over, each time hitting the same mark as Tristan and Isolde did; a sweetly shallow love story that we will all forget about when the next version comes out next year. The movie did, however, BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Hangovers.. the unpleasant side e ffect of knocking one too many back. As f un as a night of d rinking can be; no one likes the harsh reality a morning with hangover b rings. In fact the word "alone can cause one to feel nauseous. Fortunately, t here are some preventive steps t hat can be taken so as not to wake up with the dreaded hangover. Now, of course the obvious solution to preventing a hangover is not to d rink, but where's the f un in that? There are ways that one can still enjoy have its finer points and wasn't all together that unpleasant. If you promise not to tell anyone, part of me actually enjoyed the movie. Something about the cliché hope for true love conquering all is always intriguing. The moVie was filmed beautifully, and should be nominated for several awards accordingly. The lighting was masterfully captured and almost filled the romantic void between the actors. Moreover, the costumes and set designs were some of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. In every scene it seems every little detail had been thought out and organized to contribute to the greater picture. This is one of the first movies to capture the time period without exaggeration. The overall feel and mood of the movie definitely helped add to the love story, which needed all the help it could get. All the emotion for love that transcends all was there, but it felt strangely odd and out of an alcoholic beverage without s uffering for it. First o ff, i t's best to know what f actors can contribute to getting a hangover. One should never d rink while: on an empty stomach, lacking sleep, doing a physical activity or not d rinking enough water. Second, before drinking take a B vitamin complex, Better Nutrition says an active component actually has been shown to cut hangover symptoms in half. Third, d rink a glass of water before going to sleep, it helps preventing the symptoms that are caused by dehydration. Fourth, in the morning get plenty of v itamin Photo by Amanda Keeley / The Pride place. Nevertheless, if the girl the row over from me was evident of anything, this story should be good for at least a couple of tear jerking scenes. My advice for thé guys: be ready to shell out twenty bucks to take your girlfriend to a typical chick flick, and use this movie as leverage to take her to see Underworld Evolution. As for the girls, you more than likely know exactly how this movie will play out, and you won't be disappointed. You know, it's somewhat fitting that most movies about true love narrowly miss the mark. Despite their best efforts, it always seems evident that the two star-crossed lovers are after all acting for our enjoyment. Perhaps that's why we go back, time and time again, to watch this story unfold; to see if true love can actually be found. Or, maybe it's because it's the middle of January and there's nothing else to do. Either way, if you find yourself having to pick a romantic date movie, Tristan and Isolde should cater to the evening appropriately, and if you don't like it, don't worry, a new version will be out shortly with different actors who will undoubtedly find themselves lost in true love.

Rather than being placed on a noweb/statuecerdits.htm the University Police report BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer University Police prepare for the spring semester, highlighting crime alerts, offering students sound-advice and welcoming three new members to the department. "The area, not only the campus, is growing," said Chief of Police, Aaron Woodward about the concerns of a growing campus in relation to the growth of the department. "Our concern is that we are allotted 15 officers; base staffing is only what is budgeted. We would like to get ahead of the game, in terms of staffing." Over the holiday break, the Police made four arrests; two alcohol related incidents, one drug possession and one drug possession with the intent to sell. A male was arrested after driving past campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road, where he made an illegal u-turn, on Friday, Dec. 30. The simple traffic violation led to the discovery that the driver had over one and half grams of methamphetamine in his possession. The driver was arrested and taken to jail. Two days later, on the first of the year, a male was taken to jail for being drunk in public. Another alcohol related incident occurred on Jan. 8, when a UVA resident notified the Police Department that her inebriated boyfriend was attempting to drive off, despite her pleas. There are also allegations that the boyfriend damaged UVA property when throwing a rock at a window, but Police are still investigating this case. University Police also arrested a known San Marcos gang member on charges of drug possession with intent to sell. During a routine equipment violation stop, an Officer noticed that a passenger in the backseat of the vehicle had marijuana. After further investigation, the police were able to find evidence suggesting that the male had intentions on selling the ounce and a half of marijuana. The affiliated gang member, a parolee, was arrested and booked in jail. The driver was cited for an equipment violation and driving without a license. In addition to the Police Department's focus on crime activity, the department also promotes community involvement and education. In December, the department participated in the Teddy Bear Drive for the young patients at Children's Hospital.

All registered candidates will be invited to participate in the debate, which is scheduled to be held on Thursday, March 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the M. Gordon Clarke Field House/University Student Union. The 50th Congressional District seat was vacated on December 1, 2005 after Cunningham pleaded guilty to accepting more than $2 million in bribes in a criminal conspiracy. "He was a good friend to the campus," said Chartes D. Guthrie Jr., executive director of the Alumni Association, about former Congressman Cunningham.

"It must be everyone working on their New Year's Resolutions. However, it typically slows down as the semester continues with students becoming more involved in classes and assignments."

SIMON Pride Staff Writer It was December of '03 when an old friend of mine began giving updates on a new friend of his, each one giving little opportunity to do more than gape and quietly send out a little anonymous hope. When, a few weeks ago, he handed over his T-mobile Sidekick, "here, Ivy speaks French too," I was more than a little pressed for the right vocabulary. That any student here could have passed her in the hall stirs an amazing interaction between curiosity and compassion. There's nothing sensational or exclusive about being able to email Ivy an interview, save that she is that much closer to recovery and that much more able to show us a person who refuses to be lost. So, I think the first thing we better start out with is the website you mentioned, not just the address, but who set it up, who maintains it, etc. www.thebookofivy.com was set up by my dad. He does all the work for it, he set it up, and he keeps it going. The web space was given to him by The Reef. I'm not sure what The Reef is, I just know it is a website. My website has a link to my benevolent fund, which is used to help pay for all my horrible medical expenses. Could you describe your high school experience for us in some detail?

Markstein Hall will be the new address for many departments, including History, Literature "cool" in front of their other loser friends to give anyone who was a little different a chance. I was a good student who had a 4.0 through my entire senior year when most students were slacking off. I had a very small group of close friends and then a bunch of little wannabes who idolized my best friend (Chase) and I. I think a lot of students felt a little threatened by me because I am a lot smarter than them and I was never afraid to speak my mind, stand up for the underdog and tell people when they were stupid. What was the state of your college plans when you graduated? My dream was always to go to Berkeley. Unfortunately, my father was out of work and we couldn't afford it. My plan was to do my general education at a less expensive school and then transfer to Berkeley for my major. I was planning on majoring in either music, photography, or French. Did any classes, high school or otherwise, give you any insight into either side of the experience? None at all.

Any suggestions? personal detail). Is there anything you want to share about your hospital experience? I really don't remember much about the accident. I remember I was driving between 70-75 MPH in the fast lane. Some jerk wanted to go faster, so he cut me off. I swerved to miss him and lost control. I went over a cliff and was thrown 150 feet. I landed face down in a bush, which crushed my chest. All ribs were broken in multiple places. I broke my sternum which ruptured my spleen, lacerated my liver, and bruised my heart. My lungs had collapsed and werefillingwith fluid. The paramedics had to place an emergency chest tube in the field (which is almost never done). I was flown to the hospital with less than 1% chance of survival. You will have to be more specific about what you want to know concerning my hospital stay. It was almost 2 years, after all. Is there anything in particular you feel you might have 'missed out' on? I missed out on a lot. I didn't get to see my brother graduate because I was too sick. I spent both my 20th and 21st birthdays in the hospital and with sepsis. AFI (my favorite band of all time) called me on my birthday, but I was too sick to talk to them. I missed out on 2 years of my kitty's life, which may not seem to be that big of a deal, but she is like my child. I missed out on concerts I wanted to go to, the opportunity to sing with AFI, and social events with friends. Absolutely. People " don't know how to act in these sort of situations.

However, I do wonder There are two misconceptions about a couple of things. about the game that need to be cleared I want to know why there was never up. First of all USC did the right thing by going for it on fourth-and-twenty two. They were trying to put the game out of reach. They also used a play that had been effective not just the entire night, but a play that had been effective for three years. They rushed LenDale White up the gut. White didn't get the two yards and he is the best power back in college football so I really doubt anyone else could have. Hindsight being 20/20 USC could have considered an alternate play such as the one that USC used against Notre Dame on fourth-, and-six where Leinart baited the rush and found Dwayne Jarrett in one-onone coverage down the sideline. Secondly, this was not the best college football game of all time. That's all I have been hearing about for two weeks now. It was an awesome game, maybe top 10 of all time but certainly not the best. Yes, this game did have two Heisman winners, two undefeated teams, and a bunch of future NFL players, but the 2003 national championship between Miami and Ohio St also had a ton of future NFL players like Craig Krenzel, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Chris Gamble, and Drew Carter. The 2003 game also went into several overtimes and included an even bigger upset than the Texas game because everyone thought Ohio St. would not be able to score possession for possession with Miami. Now that USC is no longer a guarantee hopefully the sun doesn't let me down. CSU system prohibits alcohol at sporting events BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer A new order w as issued on Dec. 23, 2005 "prohibiting all 23 CSU campuses f rom engaging in any sale of alcoholic beverages at any intercollegiate athletic events held in university owned or operated facilities." According to the alcohol policy released by the o ffice of the Chancellor Public A ffairs " this policy will also limit the alcohol advertising of beer and wine at all campuses." "The CSU believes that service of alcoholic beverages at intercollegiate athletic events in university owned or operated facilities is contrary to its systemwide alcohol policy and to its purpose of promoting a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the university community," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. With the new alcohol policy in f ull a ffect it u nfortunately c onflicts with p reexisting contracts that include t he sale of alcohol at athletic events including football and basketball games. Although these policies w ill remain established u ntil there contracts expire they will have strict limitations and most likely not renewed. "I believe this policy is the logical and appropriate next step for the CSU to take," said John D. Welty, President of California State University, Fresno and chair of the CSU Alcohol Policies and Prevention Programs Committee. "The CSU system believes that students under the influence of alcohol cannot perform at their f ull potential," states the alcohol policy release. The pressure of alcohol abuse in any form contradicts the positive contribution to the learning environment and public image that the CSU system is striving to accomplish.

Well find out here: A survey of the student body was conducted in November of2005. The survey addressed the attitudes of CSUSM students concerning the current food choices being offered on campus including its quality and price. In addition, information was gathered on what substitute food choices they might prefer over the current offerings. The information obtained from the survey indicated that most students are dissatisfied with the food options on campus. The primary reason behind the dissatisfaction is the price; most expressed that the prices charged are too high and the available options too limited. Over half (64 percent) of the respondents indicated they felt the value of food was only fair or poor. When questioned about eating on campus 21.9 per- cent of respondents indicated they brought food to campus from home while another 8.8 percent actually went home to eat. Another segment chose not to eat campus food but purchased food off-site and ate off-site (18.4 percent) or purchased off-site and returned to campus (7 percent). Despite the apparent dissatisfaction with food options available on campus 27.2 percent of respondents indicated that they do purchase food on campus. When questioned about the categories of food purchased most often on campus the majority of respondents indicated that they purchase beverages. The next most frequently purchased food types were sandwiches and pizza. On overwhelming majority of the respondents indicated, they were aware of food options at "The Dome", "Campus Coffee", "Starbucks" and the various vending machines. However, not many were aware that food is available at the "Cougar Den". Students named 23 unique food vendors they would like to see on campus, all but one being "fast-food". Given the option of having new food choices on campus students were three times more likely to suggest a burger type eatery (Wendy's, Carl's Jr., etc), a deli style eatery (Subway, Quizno's, etc.), or a Mexican style eatery (Mr. Taco, Del Taco, etc.) vs. pizza, chicken specific, or oriental type eateries. Slightly less than 10 percent of respondents indicated they would like to see a pub style eatery (with beer) on campus. What does all this mean? For you, the student, it means if you want to see some changes you (we) need to unite our voices, start a letter writing campaign, let our dissatisfaction be heard by the administration! The survey was conducted by Marketing 442 students, Debra Doerfler, Albert Orozco, Matt Leventhal and Nick Villarino, as part of a class project. Debra Doerfler We have set some hefty goals for ourselves here at The Pride. We have pulled together an eclectic team of writers and editors who have brought you, the Cougars of Cal State San Marcos, a pretty darn good newspaper. Now, we want to go beyond last semester and bring forth a paper worthy of the city of San Marcos. I do hope that you, the readers, will continue to email us at The Pride (pride@csusm.edu) with how you feel we are doing. First, I will give you a n update on our staff. The four main editors are returning. Zachary, Christine, and Erin will continue to bring the articles in. The Ombudsman from last semester really kept us in check, so I promoted him to Managing Editor. Let us know if he does a good job. If you emailed him last semester, please continue to do so. Our layout and design will be our biggest change. Jason Encabo, who should never be forgotten when talking about editors, has moved to the position of business manager. So, you will probably be seeing a new look for The Pride in the coming weeks as the new layout person, Jason Saumur, will be taking the helm. We have a new staff of writers starting this week. The first class is tonight at 5 p.m. and we should see some new names in the paper in the coming weeks. Last semester, we saw the birth of some reoccurring themes and columnists. Robbins Report brought some controversy and Cash Corner had some good advice. We hope to continue these columns this semester with a long time favorite Jock Talk with Josh. We are still looking for more. Believe it or not, good writers are not easy to find. So, we are looking for a few good writers who are interested in beats. A beat is a journalism term that refers to writing for a specific area. For instance, we are interested in a business beat, something that might coincide with Cash Corner, a medical beat, and a political beat. Plus, we could always use a good movie critic. The journalism class will help students write in all sections of a newspaper, like News and Features. So if you are interested in newspapers, I highly recommend it. One of my favorite sections in our newspaper is the opinion section. Students can put down on paper their frustrations and concerns about a multitude of subjects. Politics, food on campus, and even The Pride are all topics that can be covered by you, the student. Please air your frustrations with us, just have you facts straight. Patrick B. Long Editor-in-chief Robbins Report BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride According to our President, defeatists are those folks who refuse to see anything that is right or positive. Mommy, I don't want to be a defeatist. Given the opportunity, our President might have labeled me a defeatist last year.

Ok, so we all get a little jealous sometime. Big deal, it's only natural. But how far is too far? I want to clear the smoke about jealousy. It's highly normal - the fear of losing the one person you love most is an overwhelming emotion. But when your emotions are centered around reading your partner's mind and if you can't read their mind you take it upon yourself to look through their cell phone (outgoing, incoming calls and text messages) it's gone abnormally too far. When you suffer from jealously you're letting your emotions and insecurities get the best of you, it can change who you are as a human being. You become aggressive, excluded and honestly crazy. A common misconception about unhealthy jealousy is the belief that it measures your partner's interest and love in the relationship, when in fact it is only the measurement of the insecurity level. Thefirststeps to cure your jealous ways are to: recognize and admit it. As long as you know you have a problem you can work on it . Take your insecurities and 'squash' them. Be comfortable in your own skin and most of all: be confident. Yes, easier said then done, but find that inner fire that drives you to be who you are, no one or any amount of jealousy can take that away from you. Get to the core of your jealousy - are you scared that your partner is going to cheat? A word of advice, if someone is low enough to cheat on their supposed loved one there is nothing you can do to prevent it, you might be able to delay it with words and actions but sooner or later it's bound to happen, and wouldn't you rather have it be sooner than later so you stop wasting your time? According to webmd.com "to overcome or at least dilute jeal- ously you most know your own strengths, what do you specifically bring to the table?" Everyone is exceptional in their own way so what's different about you? Also, "don't compare yourself to anyone else because you're only sabotaging your own uniqueness." "It's important to remember that jealousy has a purpose, all emotions try to tell us something about ourselves, jealousy is a fear of losing power." Jealousy is compulsive, snooping and violating another's privacy is only going to harm your relationship and torture you with unanswerable questions? The best way to 'squash' jealousy is dealing with it directly, before it causes your relationship to self destruct.

LONG Pride Staff Writer Stanley "Tookie" Williams, death-row inmate in San Quentin State Prison for 24 years, is set to die 12*01 a.m. on Dec. 13. Williams, now a Noble Peace Prize nominee, was convicted in 1981 for murder, and has been on death row ever since.

The protests and rallies will be held at 4 p.m., on Dec. 7 and 12, outside the Hall of Justice in downtown San Diego. "Tookie's case highlights everything that's wrong with the death penalty in this country," stated Newman in an email. "Above all else, it's racist."

Vourlitis will study the ecology of transitional tropical forests in Brazil. Transitional tropical forest is considered an ecotonal ecosystem, which exists between a tropical rainforest and savanna ecosystems. The main objective of the research is to calculate the links between carbon and water cycling and then to understand how these relations are affected by seasonal and interannual variations in average temperature. One other important goal of the project is to strengthen Brazilian tropical ecology research by instituting continuous research and training programs. Vourlitis and his colleagues have developed short courses for students and faculty at Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso that will focus on ecophysiological theory, instrumentation, and analysis. Since 1999, Vourlitis has been leading the binational of prisoners on death row.

According to the booth's information pamphlets, media representations of persons of color give way to racial profiling of minorities as crime-committing individuals. At a different booth devoted to the racial exclusion tendencies of Mattel's pilot product Barbie, displays highlighted the reality of Mattel's under-representation of non-white dolls. Forum participants Marie Ferguson, Laura Hansen, Christine Vaughan and Breann Montes shared the misleading efforts Mattel has extended in attempts at introducing cultural diversity for Barbie and her friends. The dolls of color are actually constructed with slightly darker skin tones, but the dolls showcase the identical features and eye colors as their Caucasian counterparts, making them difficult to distinguish as black, Latina, or Asian. As also pointed out by Ferguson, Barbie's little sister Kelly has a "Friends of The World" collection leading one to believe that her playmates originate from all ends of the globe. The collection features girls from France, Switzerland, Ireland and Spain. The array features no girls from South or Central America, Asia, or Africa. "The collection should be called 'Kelly's Friends of Europe," commented Ferguson. At a booth devoted to the deciphering of racial messages as they are transmitted to America's youth, Lisa Renfro commented on the statements, that in-her view, Disney sends to child viewers about good versus evil. "Evil villains are portrayed as dark figures and the good guys are white and ride on white horses," said Renfro in referencing Disney's character trends. Renfro also shared information about Disney's tendency to feature ethnic characters such as Pocahontas, Princess Jasmine, or Mulan as having dark skin, but Caucasian-like features such as straight long hair and white female voice-overs. In response to the information shared at the forum, junior Chris Sanchez proposed that the most impacting information he received from the event was statistics on what ethnicities populate the prisons around our country.

W ANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 - $17.00 per hour Call (760) 744-SWIM 'Finals Frenzy'in -swing BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND Pride Staff Writer Finals are a stressful time for all students. Deadlines and the desire for achievement create high levels of anxiety. A successful and stress-free exam period is not guaranteed, but there are ways to ease the tension. ASI is sponsoring Finals Frenzy event week, giving students the opportunity to relieve the stress that surfaces during finals week. Monday through Wednesday, Dec. 12-14, the Clarke will be open until midnight, offering laptops, printer access and individual and group study space, making the studying process less painful and more convenient. Coffee and a catered "mystery" dinner will be provided each night to boost energy and help keep students focused. The Kellogg Library at Cal State San Marcos is extending its hours starting on Monday, the sixth. The library will be open on Monday through Thursday from 7-10, on Friday from 8-5, on Saturday from 10-5, and on Sunday from 1-8. The media library will open at 8, Monday through Friday, and is open from 1-5 on Saturday and Sunday. By having that extra hour, students will be able to be moreflexiblewith their study schedule. Not only does the library provide important resource tools for studying, but it also gives students a comfortable, relaxing environment to study in with little distractions. The first thing you need to do while studying forfinalexams is to get yourself organized and not wait until the last minute. You should start studying a week in advance, allowing yourself to budget time for each class. It is impossible to cram an entire semesters worth of work into two nights of studying. An effective way to budget your time is to make a schedule including your work, school, sleep and social schedule for the week leading up tofinals.This will give you a rough idea of how much time you have for studying. Remember that one to two hour study sessions are more efficient than long ones. If your study schedule means missing out on the 3-kegger on Saturday night beforefinals,than so be it. Finals only grace us with their presence once a semester and reflect all the time and energy that we put into school. During finals week, try to resist the urge to party on your off days. Look at it as more of a jump start for your upcoming final. The most important thing to remember during finals week is to stay healthy. It is better to be well-rested than to stay up all night cramming. Eating healthy plays a huge role in staying healthy. Eat a balanced diet and try to decrease your intake of junk food; it will help your brain focus more. Hopefully this information will help you get through this dreaded week. �MONEY, MONEY UNIVERSITY STORE OF SEMESTER BUY DECEMBER 7 t h - 14 9:00 AK - 7:00 PM @ FOUNDER Sep «fit SELL YOUR BOOKS FOR CASH A ND RECEIVE A COUPON FOR 2 0% OFF AT THE UNIVERSITY STORE A ND GET A COUPON FOR A FREE 32 oz.

SPRING BOOKLIST OUT ON JANUARY 5TH �Teaching abroad in China BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Global expansion in the economic arena gives opportunity to the areas of growth in aspects of education and learning. The Global Affairs office and the Literature and Writing Department at Cal State San Marcos worked together last summer to send two student teachers to China. This opportunity afforded both Marc Scott and Richard Hunt the chance to teach in China at Guangxi Normal University. The roots for the CSUSM / Guangxi Normal University China Teaching Fellows Program go as far back as 1960, according to Dr. Susie Cassel. Dr. Cassel's father, Dr. Russell Cassel, aö education specialist with the U.S. State Department, and Dr. Paul Ma, an agricultural inspector with the United Nations, began a friendship in the 1960s and expressed an interest in the formation of the program. Dr. Russell Cassel knew of his daughter's interest in China, and her love for teaching English. He kept in contact with Dr. Ma and sought to arrange for both Dr. Cassel and Dr. Dawn Formo, also of Cal State San Marcos, to travel to China. Dr. Susie Cassel and Dr. Dawn Formo arrived in Guilin to begin the China Teaching Fellows Program in summer 2004. The unfortunate passing of both Dr. Russell Cassel and Dr. Ma, prior to the trip in 2004 prevented both of them from seeing the collaboration to its final development. "There are hopes to expand this program in the future beyond faculty and graduate students to undergraduate students," says Dr. Susie Cassel. "There were many things about teaching in China that were exciting for me, but if I had to isolate just one it would be the opportunity for me to teach Chinese American literature to Chinese students," Dr. Cassel writes, regarding her experience in China. "My American students often see works like "The Woman Warrior" and "The Joy Luck Club" as 'very Chinese,'" added Cassel. "Conversely, Chinese students found these works to be 'very American' and an equal amount of time was spent explaining American." The summer of 2005 saw the return of a Cal State San Marcos teachers to China and the Guangxi Normal University. This time Scott and Hunt ventured out to the school in order to teach English. "The most important aspect of my time in China was the connections I made with students over there," wrote Marc Scott.. "I stay in contact with several students I taught in China, and I enjoy hearing about their studies and future plans." "One interesting thing I took from the experience was a heightened awareness of how people from the United States are perceived abroad; it seemed a hurdle was cleared between me and the individuals I talked to," wrote Scott. Dr. Susie Cassel feels strongly about the experience that both Americans and Chinese can get from sharing cultures and experiences in our abroad programs. "Participating in these experiences can be paradigm-altering; sharing these experiences in the classroom, in the hallways, and in the community benefits us all," wrote Dr. Susie Cassel. The five to six week long program for teachers will begin again a week after the Spring semester ends (approximately May 21-June 30, 2006).

That seems to be the first question one should tackle as they take on their finances. The best place to start is to know where you are starting from. What are yourfinanceslike today? Get out a piece of paper and draw a line straight down the middle. At the top of the left column write "assets" and at the top of the right put "liabilities". So, what are assets? Start with checking and savings accounts (and if you have neither, then getting these accounts will be a good startingpoint, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Bank of America, and almost all other banks have accounts specifically designed for college kids) and put the value of these in the asset column. Do you have any stocks or bonds? If so, these are assets and should be placed in the, you guessed it, asset column. If you do not know the current value of the bond your grandmother bought you for your first birthday, go to http://www. publicdebt.treas.gov and look it up. 401(k)'s, IRA's, home equity, current market value of any vehicles, jewelry, home furnishings, et cetera, should all be included. Basically, if you turned everything you have into cash, how much would you have? This is the value of your assets. Liabilities are the opposite of assets. This includes credit card debt, student loan debt, auto loans, home loans, any unpaid bills, and anything else that you owe to another party (a 'party' being a bank or your mom... not what we college kids do so well at the beginning of every weekend, a.k.a. Thursday). Total assets, less total liabilities, will be your current net worth. Hopefully this is a positive number, but it is usually a negative; the goal is to make a positive number grow as fast as possible or shrink a negative number to zero a.s.a.p. Easier said than done, but at least an understanding of your current position will allow you to take steps in the right direction. Soon we'll discuss your personal cash flow and how to maximize its potential. For now, let me leave you with a quick tip. If, at the end of every month you have no money left over because you paid all your bills and had a little fun, consider a couple options to increase your monthly cash flow. First, if you receive a tax refund at the end of every year, call your human resources representative and adjust your tax withholdings. A yearly refund of $500 roughly translates into an extra $40 a month in your pocket. Also, shop around for different auto insurance quotes and compare rates. This can reveal a huge savings you may never have noticed. Every paycheck is the beginning of the same cycle: money in, bills paid, fun had, now wait to get paid again. Many affectionately call this cycle The Rat Race, but it seems we are more like the mouse running in the wheel. We work hard and run fast, but we are not going anywhere. My advice is to get off the damn wheel; but how? In the last article we identified our current net worth by subtracting liabilities from assets. This time we are going to calculate our monthly cash flow. Cashflowis the cycle that begins with each paycheck and is not quite as easy to determine as our net worth. Get out a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle again. On the left side we will identify our monthly income. This includes take home pay (your income after taxes and any fees or union dues), dividends from stocks, bonuses, or even money your mom gives you on a regular basis. Do not be general with these numbers. The more exact you are the better. The right column, money-out, can also be designated as "expenditures". This can be a little tricky. There are the obvious expenditures: rent, food, utilities, transportation costs, credit card bills, cell phone, but there are also the more obscure expenditures: medical bills, new clothes, new tires for the car, gym fees, tuition and books. This list can go on and on and these expenditures that do not occur each month must be broken down to a "per month" basis. Also, make sure to include fun and entertainment as an expense. Be realistic with these numbers and DO NOT sugarcoat it. Finally, total each column and subtract the total of the right column from the total of the left. This number is the surplus (if positive) or deficit (if negative) of your monthly cash flow. Basically, after all is said and done, how much money do you have or how much do you owe? Now you are in one of three categories: your income is greater than your expenses, your expenses equal your income, or your expenses exceed your income. If you are in either of the last two categories, try to identify where your money is escaping. Are you spending too much on fast food, clothes, fun...? Are you genuinely doing everything you can to minimize expenditures? Set your priorities with an understanding that moneyin must "at least" match money-out, but if the only expense that is pushing you into the red is education costs, take out a student loan and stay in school. These losses are acceptable and you will recoup them later in life, but every dollar you borrow today is $1.25 (not exactly but you know what I mean) you will pay back tomorrow, so borrow as little as possible and avoid racking up credit card debt. A quick tip for those with high credit card bills: on the back of your credit cards is a phone number for customer service. Call it and ask them to lower your interest rate, you'd be surprised how often they say yes. Catch eye BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer For some reason I can never make it on time to my History 201 class on Mondays and Wednesday. So I arrive 5 minutes late and sit in the back of the class, the last row next to the wall. Sitting to the side of me are always three friends, Matt, Eric and Karen. Matt, 10, has always for some reason caught my eye, maybe it's the lip piercing. I don't know. A few weeks ago I noticed Matt working in the Parking Information Booth and had seen him many times following that day around campus. I had never spoken to Matt before, and to my surprise he had lived in the University Village last year, as did L I sat down with him on Wednesday afternoon when he was working at the Info Booth and questioned him on life in general. h I learned that Matt is a really busy guy. He told me that he worked two other jobs in addition to the booth, one at American Eagle, the other at the front desk of the UVA. On top of that he is also Treasurer for the Residence Hall Council. Matt told me that he "was just your normal college student" that goes out and likes to have fun. He loves going to clubs and likes to go to Hollywood with his friends on Thursday nights to attend "Tiger Heat", an 18 and up dance club. I asked if he had any special passions and his face lit up. Volleyball, anything do with volleyball. He says he lives and breaths it. Amazing what you find out about a person if you just sit and talk with them.

The inverted pyramid says to write the most general facts in the beginning of your story, gradually going deeper into specifics as the article wears on. Thanks to the return of the inverted Christmas tree this year, I now associate Christmas with reporting to the masses. Upside-down trees were common in Europe during the twelfth century. Europeans hung their Christmas trees from the ceiling and watched them dangle there for a few weeks during the holiday season. The current inverted trees are all artificial and can be hung from the ceiling or shoved into a base by their pointed tips. They are thought to be more logical than the typical trees, as they, take up lessfloorspace. But the more popular sales pitch is that the upside-down trees allow more room for presents. Considering that the typical inverted tree costs around 600 dollars, I am guessing the children living in such an affluent household can do without piles and piles of presents. There is another, more subtle problem with this flip-flopping of foliage. The Christmas tree's shape is symbolic. It is said to be pointing toward Heaven. When the tree is turned upside-down for reasons of practicality, it is symbolically pointing toward Hell. So, in addition to taking the "Christ" out of the "Merry Christmas" greeting (I predict that next the ACLU will claim mistletoe promotes sexual harassment, but that is a different article), the tree has turned quite sinister. Lately Christmas has become less about magic and tradition and more about economics and logic. It is more logical to conserve space in Christmas tree-filled department stores. It is more economically beneficial to buy extra presents to put under our trees. Yet there is a price to pay for < & 5r pragmatism. Our consumer-friendly trees won't have stars, our children will be spoiled beasts, and our houses will be perpetually absent of the smell of pine.

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Pull out a pot and add one cup ambition, three teaspoons of soul, lA pint creativity, a dash of hot sauce, the color blue and alas, what do you have? No, this is not a recipe for grandma's fruitcake, rather this is a brief rundown of all of the elements that comprise the acoustic soul pop singer Alyssa Jacey. Alyssa is a new artist that is rising fast right under our CSUSM noses, and her spirit is taking our campus, as well as the rest of San Diego County, by storm. Alyssa's career began when she started attending karaoke in November 2004. Upon witnessing her talents, Alyssa's friends advised her to make something of her vocal abilities, and with this notion Alyssa began pursuing music. By January 2005 she was recording professionally with no prior vocal training. This year proved promising for Alyssa as she gave her first performance at the San Diego County Fair in June and has since played over 40 shows at venues such as The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, RT's Longboard Grill in Pacific Beach, Canes in Mission Beach, and at the CSUSM campus promoting for groups such as Alpha Kappa Psi. "I used to sing for people when I served in restaurants," said Alyssa, crediting her success to persistent selfpromotion. Other methods of gaining publicity and recognition included distribution of her music and business cards at shows. Her popular Myspace page offers samples of her inusic and a calendar of upcoming shows. "I think the majority of succeeding at any talent is to have dedication," Alyssa reflected as she shared the reasons for why she feels she has come so far since the start of the year. Major inspiration comes from artists such as Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan, and Tracy Chapman as well as bands like Matchbox Twenty. When asked if she considered herself a role model, Alyssa answered yes, justifying her response with recalls of mistakes of her previous situations. She states, "I've been to the bottom, and climbed back up." This low came in the form of living in Los Angeles, aspiring to be a dancer, but falling in with the wrong crowd and thus losing focus. Since leaving Los Angeles she has gotten back into school full time and regained control of her life as she dedicates herself to the pursuit of her career. "Don't let seemingly large obstacles intimidate you," is what Alyssa had to say after moving off track but recovering. On the verge of turning 24 years old, Alyssa Jacey has singing, songwriting, dance, choreography, and guitar skills under her belt, and she still finds time to do other things with her life such as teaching dance, as well as volleyball, soccer, and surf in the summer. She finds it difficult to juggle school and her career, but because she believes she is meant to sing Alyssa strives to fit everything into her busy schedule. Currently, Alyssa is working to have her CDs sold in Starbucks coffee shops as well as being added to Starbucks' artist tour that will be happening this winter. Alyssa will be performing three shows for the Vagina Monologues at CSUSM on Dec. 8-10. For information on Alyssa Jacey's upcoming shows visit www.alyssajacey.com and www. myspace.com/alyssajacey. CONGRATULATIONS to all Graduating Seniors! Cal State San Marcos Alumni Association 760.750.4405 - Email: alumni@csusm.edu �Extended Studies: update professional skills BY PIYAMAS J Y. SABLAN Pride Staff Writer The Extended Studies' winter/ spring 2006 catalog is now available for those interested in registering for classes. "Practically anyone can take one of the non-credit classes and students do not have to be enrolled in the university," said Mary Kenny, director of marketing and communications for Cal State San Marcos Extended Studies. Study Abroad esuip Application Meetings! A lot of students already have a degree but take the Extended Studies' classes to keep their professional skills updated or because they are interested in certain subjects and want to learn more about them. Some occupations do not require a bachelor's degree but require knowledge in a certain field. "The mission of Extended Studies is to serve as the academic outreach arm of the university. We're an integral part of the institution's Academic and Student Affairs division, and our primary purpose is to extend the academic and instructional resources of the university to the region, and expand access for audiences that the university may not be able to serve through more traditional channels", explained Kenny. Classes are offered to the general community for professional and personal growth but are also designed to provide training and Wednesday, Dec. 7 11:30-12:30 in ACD 402 A + S UBS Thursday, Dee. 8 1:00-2:30 in Univi 00 r Call Jacki FREE M ,- Preschool substitutes, aids, and teachers.

Academic credit can be obtained through Open University, Special Sessions, and the Over 60 Program. "Open University allows members of the community to take courses from the regular Cal State San Marcos catalog of offerings on a space-available basis without going through the formal admission process. For example, if you have the necessary pre-requisites (if any) for the courses selected, you're not limited to taking only Extended Studies courses to continue your education. Open University is a program designed for those who: want to update professional training, missed the deadline for admission to the university, want to examine a particular field before actually enrolling in LFIVE e fans s 858-565-2144 a degree program, are considering re-entering an academic program, or want to take courses besides those offered through Extended Studies. Through Special Sessions, Extended Studies offers regular Cal State San Marcos courses at times other than the regular semesters. These courses may be offered concurrently with the regular semesters, but these special sections are designed primarily for non matriculated students. There is no limit to the number of Special Sessions courses a student may take; however, only 24 semester units may be applied toward an undergraduate degree. Through the Over 60 Program, California residents age 60 or older may enroll in any regular Cal State San Marcos class during the academic year on a space-available basis at a special, low rate per semester. Kenny explains that, "they may enroll in credit or non-credit courses and can even earn a degree." According to Kenny, the classes offered through Extended Studies are determined by listening to the needs of current and prospective students, from learning what is needed in the work force through Extended Studies' memberships in various organizations such as the North County Chambers of Commerce and the North County Economic Development Council, and from local hospitals and teacher associations. Winter session runs through May 2006 and if certain classes have a high demand from students, they will most likely be offered again during the next session. "Extended Studies is the only continuing education provider affiliated with a four year institution of higher education in North County and due to the anticipated population increase in San Diego and Riverside Counties over the next few years, more classes may be offered to accommodate this growth," stated Kenny. Extended Studies' classes are usually held on campus in the Foundation Classroom Building in rooms 104 and 106 but there are some classes available off-campus. Class fees vary and there is a 30 percent discount on most classes to CSUSM employees and a 15 percent discount to CSUSM alumni. Students can register for classes or obtain class information on Extended Studies through their web site www.csusm-es.org %or by calling their-office at 760750-4020. Students may also stop by the office located in the Foundation Classroom Building between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students can e-mail comments or class suggestions to es@csusm.edu.

Gezai Berhane, of Student Life and Leadership said, "This program started in an effort to recognize our students' involvement in so many extracurricular and co-curricular activities through their involvement in student organizations and service learning classes." The transcript, signed and stamped by the vice president of StudentAffairs, can be used to supplement scholarship, graduate school, and job applications. "The program started to be implemented in the year 1998 but the process of starting this program started at least a year before that, said Berhane. Students who want to begin building their Tukwut Transcript must pick up data entry forms and transcript requests at the Stu- ASI dent Life and Leadership office in Craven Hall4116. Students need to submit transcript entries to the SLL office by the end of the semester following the activity. For example, i fa club puts on events throughout the fall semester, the submission form must be filled out by the end of spring semester. For submissions describing ongoing involvement with a club or program, a new entry must be submitted for each year of membership. For example, if a student is the president of a club during the 2001-2002 academic year, the "Leadership" entry should be submitted to SLL by the end of the spring semester in 2002. Even if a student remains active in a club from year to year, a new entry form must be submitted at the end of each academic year. An on-campus faculty advisor or staff member will validate the entry upon submission. If a student is having problems obtaining a valid signature for the entry form, contact Julie Wright in the Student Life and Leadership office. It will take the office 35 working days to process each transcript request. The SLL office will not accept entries that describe involvement or participation that occurred more than a year prior to application. Each student is eligible to receive five free copies per year. Additional copies are available for a nominal cost. The Tukwut Transcript will be held indefinitely. It is up to the student to request extra copies of the transcript prior to leaving the university. The transcript is divided into nine sections: -Career Development: Includes part-time university employment, internships, and involvement in professional organizations. -Community Service/ Service Learning: Includes campus supervised volunteer service on- and off-campus, either as part of a service learning course or coordinated through the Office of Service Learning. -Honors/Awards/Schol- arships: Includes any type of formal recognition given by the College - Dean's List, Outstanding Student Awards, etc. - Leadership/Student Organizations: Includes any leadership role or membership position held for at least one semester in a campus club or organization. -Presentations/Travel: Includes written or oral presenr tations that can be verified by a faculty or staff member but are not required for a course. It also includes student travel or participation/involvement in a conference sponsored through university channels. -Published Writing/Creative Activities/Other: Includes published scholarly or creative works, documentary productions, media publications or works, and computer projects. -Recreation/Athletics: Includes involvenient in intramural activities or club sports. -Research Activities: Includes participation in independent research coordinated by D oes...

Palomar Family YMCA 760-745-7490 �Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride Several weeks ago in my COMM 360 class, Professor Fredi Avalos said something that caught my attention: "Do you want to be right, or do you want to change the world?" What I think she was saying was, what are your intentions when you set out to do something? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to prove yourself right or are you trying to make the world a better place? I think most people in sports, especially sports writers, are just trying to prove themselves right. I certainly have done my fair share of that. I know that proving myself right doesn't do anything but boost my own ego, but all you have to do is ask some of my friends to realize how sure of myself I am already. I look around the sports world and see plenty of people who have an influential voice, but don't use it for positive things. Can you imagine if Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan spoke out on social issues the way Charles Barkley does? Jordan would rather pimp his clothing line and latest book on Oprah's show, while Tiger goes on the Tonight Show to talk about his new video game. My voice only goes out to several thousand people at the moment, but I am not going to sit back and just talk about easy issues that don't make you think. I don't always want to write about what the Chargers should do with Phillip Rivers (trade him), or which player Kobe Bryant needs to win a championship (a decent center a la Amare Stoudemire, which clearly isn't going to happen since he is locked up long term). You can get those topics from "Sports Illustrated" or "ESPN". From those outlets you can't get someone like me talking about how the NHL and NBA are just another form of segregation. I have received more e-mail this semester than in the two previous combined. I have also had a lot of people approach me on campus in an attempt to tear into me regarding the topics that I have written about, most notably regarding my take on homosexuals in athletics. Apparently, there are some people who don't appreciate the topics that I cover. Take Evan Pellecchia, for example, "Write more about sports," said Pellecchia. "Not issues that are dealt with everyday with a sports swing to it." I think Pellecchia's concern can be addressed with a phrase that Professor Avalos uses quite often, "Open your eyes folks". If you can't see parts of everyday life in sports, then I worry for you. I know that many people turn to entertainment such as sports and music for an escape from everyday life. The same people who are telling me they don't want to read about racism and homosexuality in sports are probably the same people who tell Kanye West to stick to rapping about "gold diggers", stop rapping about Jesus, and don't talk about the President. I have lost count of the e-mails that question my sports knowl- edge. Take Cassandra Lelek, for example, "As I assume you are the sports 'go-to' guy," said Lelek, "It would be nice if you actually knew something about sports before you wrote about them." Let me address the concern of Lelek and so many of you. Do research before you send personal attacks my way. Go do a google news search on "Joshua Sandoval". Then see what pops up. I think if my work appears in the "San Diego Union-Tribune", then I might actually know a little something about sports and journalism. r Then there is the wonderful e-mail that I received that wants me dismissed. "As an avid reader of The Pride, I finally decided to take it upon myself to call for your dismissal as a sports columnist," said someone by the name of Mike. He didn't use a CSUSM e-mail address or give a last name; probably because he knew he would end up in a future article or has a fear of running into me on campus. What's funny about the developments over the semester is I now realize that people actu- ally read this. I knew I had a few loyal readers (shout out to Jade Zwinger). However, now that the issues are more controversial, the readers are coming out like homosexual basketball players. I could care less if you hate what I have to say, just as long as you read it. I spend a lot of time around comedians and I now understand what so many of them say. "You don't remember the thousands of great sets that you have. You remember the few where you were booed off the stage." As you can tell, the comments that stick out in my head are the ones that tell me I suck. However, I will be back next semester because of comments from people like John Jacobs: "Your column in The Pride is so hilarious," said Jacobs. "You're a funny guy and a great writer. Keep up the good work, bro! " Send all comments to Sando026@csusm.edu. I do respond to every single e-mail that I receive. However, you may want to be careful what you say, now that you see that there is a possibility you could be quoted. Women's Volleyball Athletes p repare for spring sports BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer With the fall season coming to an end, many of the spring athletes are just getting ready for the games to begin. Women's volleyball is preparing for its second season here at CSUSM. Women's volleyball is an ASI sponsored team, with the hopes of becoming a division sport. Tryouts were held at the end of September, when the team picked up four new girls for a total of 12 on the team. The traditional volleyball season starts on January 17, but the team is currently competing in tournaments in southern California. Team captain Melissa Hughes said, "The tournaments are to get out and to play teams that aren't necessarily in our league, and to get playing time in." The ladies' next tournament will be at San Diego State University on Dec. 10 and 11. Teams will be coming from schools such as UCLA, Berkeley, and Arizona State University. Following this tournament, the ladies will have about a month off from games. The team will continue preparing for the league tournaments to start up on Jan. 17 and continue to be held every Tuesday night for about eight weeks. CSUSM's women's volleyball falls under the San Diego or Southern California league. Other teams in the league are SDSU, UCSD, Pt. Loma, and USC. These teams will also play each other at Regionals and have the option to attend Nationals in Salt Lake City in April. Another anticipated tournament will be held over spring break in Las Vegas. Last season, the women's team traveled to Las Vegas along with 37 other teams. CSUSM ended up taking 12th place overall. Melissa Hughes is anticipating an exciting season to come. "We have a very dedicated team. We are each otheris best friends and that makes for a great chemistry on the court as well." Although the ladies are preparing for the season already, another tryout will be held in the near future. The team will be losing four girls to the study abroad program. For more information regarding the team and upcoming tryouts, contact Melissa Hughes at hughe018@csusm.edu.

Stse 107. San Marcos, a 92078 �Podhead Student retrospective A personal trip to the musical highlife BY J.R. SAPP Pride Staff Writer BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer They walk around CSUSM everyday, and we all see them, the "Podheads". You know, the iPod people who are "tuned" to their music all the time. I decided to become one of them and go undercover to investigate the world of the Podheads. I borrowed my boyfriend's iPod, and the next morning had a quick self-learning session on how to work the tiny machine, before I struck out in the musical underworld. Listening to a new techno song, I took to the stairs. The hike at 8:45 a.m. was, as ridiculous as it sounds, fun! The music made my heart start pumping and by the end of the trip to Sociology 320,1 was really "amped" for class to start. At my usual break between classes I tuned myself again and set off for ACD's open access computer lab. I counted four other Podheads on the way over, and wondered what sort of music their lives were jamming to. I was actually having a good time just walking around campus and listening to the music I normally had to leave at home or in the car. I couldn't help thinking how awesome it was to have my life's own personal soundtrack playing everywhere I went. That is what is so great about being Podheads, each and every person has a personal soundtrack. At the end of my day I seriously did walk PAST my car. I was so pleasantly distracted I forgot where I had parked my car. In the end, while I don't have an iPod of my own, being a Podhead for a day was definitely an experience worth repeating. It was so much f un, I'll probably put the iPod on my Christmas list. Music for life anyone? The best mother is the one who, by virtue of doing a good job, renders herself obsolete - not in the hearts of her children, but in the daily minutia, the chores, and childrearing that consume her days and drive her a little crazy. As the time of my obsolescence approached, I decided to go back to college and finish the degree I had started to earn some (well, many) years ago. I did the paperwork, filled out the forms, and ordered my transcripts and SAT scores from the archives of various high schools, community colleges, and universities in another state. By the grace of God, and the kindness of Kitty Lucero-Egger, who reviewed my dismal transcripts and let me in anyway, I was accepted into CSUSM with a 2.0 GPA. My college-age daughter gave me a brief and depressing explanation of why, no matter how many classes I took to complete my degree, my GPA would never recover from my wasted youth. But I persevered, kicked my Type A personality into high gear, and earned some report cards that were worthy of posting on my refrigerator next to those of my children. And so I am graduating, finally, at the end of this semester. We autumn graduates don't warrant a ceremony, a cap, a gown, or the privilege of shaking the hands of our professors as we are handed our diploma covers. I guess there just aren't enough of us. It would probably be anti-climactic to walk the line in the spring, and I wouldn't want to steal the thunder from my younger daughter who will be graduating then. So although I'll never make the valedictorian speech (see GPA discussion above), there are some people I would thank for helping me along on this journey. (Cue "Pomp and Circumstance.") To my husband - for all the dinners I didn't cook, the shirts I didn't iron, and the hours I spent studying, thanks for apt complaining too much. You may never really understand what this has all meant to me, but you try to, and that's good enough. To my daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie, who have encouraged me every single step of the way, I couldn't have done this without your kind words and absolute conviction that I'm the smartest woman you know. To my son Michael, thank you for the laughs and for doing your own laundry. And to my son's favorite line - "It's taken you almost thirty years to get your degree and you're not even a doctor!" To my professors - I think you know how important this is or you wouldn't be doing what you do. You taught me that I could stay the course, and that improving my writing was a worthy endeavor. To my fellow scholars - thanks to every one of you who never thought twice about sitting in class next to a woman twice your age. Thanks for your willingness to answer my honest questions with thoughtful answers, and for letting me engage in the academic process as one of you. Tuition, books, & parking $10,000.

And lest we break with tradition,, ime last time a£ s chraÖÖ9#>siism^ i-il i Letter from the Editor-in-Chief BY PATRICK B ; LONG Pride Editor-in-chief This "Letter From the Editor" will be read by more students than my first. The is only by the mere fact that The Pride has definitely picked up readers this semester, and it is all thanks to the new staff and writers. Collaboration is important in the making of a great newspaper. Checks and balances, like that of a good government, are needed. We made some mistakes, but we learned from them and moved on. So, to all of those who participated in The Pride this year, I thank you. It is a daunting task to put out a weekly paper, and it takes more than whining about the quality of the work; it takes courage to stand up and do something about it. If you, the readers, know a staff writer, or a student who regularly participated in the efforts of making this a great school paper, I ask you to thank them. Now I shall name names. First and foremost, Jason Encabo is the reason the paper looks so good. His eye for layout is only second to his dedication to getting the job done, no matter how long it takes. He stuck it out into the late nights until the work was doner sometimes the newspaper didn't make it out until midnight on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Christine "this story has to go in" Vaughan, Zachary J. "sit down, we're going to edit this together" Simon, and Erin "oh my gosh, that's so cute" Young make the paper diverse enough to attract a large audience. I look forward to another semester with them. Last, I want to thank both Dr. Anthony Hurst and Cindy Hanson, who took time to listen to writers complain about me. If everybody is happy, I'm not doing a good job. Now it's time for the call to join. COMM and LTWR 316 are waiting for you. Yes, it's late at night, and ye,s you'll work very hard, but let's be narcissistic about it, you'll get to see your name in print. Even if you do not join the class, feel free to join us next semester at ACD 404 Tuesdays at 5 p.m. The first hour is dedicated to assigning stories and gathering story ideas. TO m ake this a better paper, I'm seeking more beat writers. No, not the next Kerouac, but writers that cover only one specific area. This semester we had "Jock Talk with Josh" and a couple of newcomers to the fall '05 Pride team, "Robbins Report" and "Cash Corner." These topics cover the political climate on campus, finance strategies for students, and, of course, sports. Antoinette Johnson will be returning as our new police liaison. We are looking for students who can cover other areas as well. This would be a weekly column that entails a topic that you are knowledgeable about. Areas of interest for the paper include campus sports, business aiid the business department, art and the art department, and movies. As always, the editors are here to help the writing process if you are not comfortable. Next semester also welcomes the arrival of the 2006 Pride Literary Supplement (PLS). This publication comes out every spring semester and is made up of art work, poems, short stories, and other art related material. The bad news is, since the change of the email system, we lost all of the submissions from this semester. We need everybody who submitted to re-submit their work. Please place "PLS" in the subject line of the email to pride@csusm.edu. Coming from o divorced family BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer Coming from a divorced family, the holidays have always been a yo-yo fiasco for me. When I was a child, my holidays were literally cut straight down the middle. I would be handed off at either midnight or noon to the next parent in a relative's drive-way. For Christmas and New Year's, it would be one parent on the Eve and another on the day, with a switch off at midnight on Christmas or a switch off at noon on New Year's Day. And, oh, so much bickering in between. All my holidays from the ages of five to seventeen were handled that way, except one, Thanksgiving. I went with whichever parent it would be most convenient for because of my week-long school vacation. It became especially dif- ficult when my parents fought over Thanksgiving. I was left in the middle with no say, even though they posed the tricky question of "where do you want to go?" Growing up with Thanksgiving as a literal toss up, I am left today with so much confusion and a growing dislike of holidays in general. Now that I am an adult, and living away from home, I am now able to make decisions on my own, what am I to do when Thanksgiving and other holidays, like Easter, have been a sole parent holiday my entire life? I'm in my third year of college, and, sadly, I have learned the hard way that no matter what decision I make, no parent will be happy. And so again, I enter another holiday season with the same growing discontent. My parents don't understand how nerve-wracking it is for me to choose where to spend the holidays. I know I am not alone with my distraught feelings of the holidays, because many other students of CSUSM deal with similar issues. The conflict may come from being a child of divorce, or just being a student, trying to juggle college life and family time. It basically becomes an issue of priorities. Who's more important in your life? Who deserves your time the most? �'Harry Pqtter' review BY JASON SAUMUR Pride Staff Writer normal year at Hogwarts.

Under the direction of Mike Newell, with the screenplay by Steven Kloves, the cast of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" plays a masterfully funny, dark, and heroic performance. Ron, Hermione, and Harry exchange their organic wit throughout the movie, both in the context of a friendship crisis, and when Ron is in danger. Harry shows genuine courage when he saves both his friend Ron and another captive loved one from the depths of the Black Lake, and he shares the Tri-Wizard's Cup with Cedric. The movie doesn't end with the death of either Harry Potter or Voldemort but with the love bond Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment that Harry's mother showed when she was killed many years prior. Selfless sacrifice is what Lilly Potter and Harry exhibit, Lilly on the night of her tragic death, and Harry at least once a year at Hogwarts. The ultimate message, in both the book and the movie, resonates with moviegoers and readers alike. It is the belief that the common and ordinary man can overcome obstacles with courage and selfless sacrifice. It is because of this underlying idea — the peril, kindness and wit — that both cast and story portray, that makes this movie the best of the lot so far.

In the same month, the year's best family oriented comedies, as well as films that would become front runners for the Academy Awards and other film recognitions, are released. But what's coming out in the following weeks? In the science fiction/fantasy corner, we have "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis, four siblings enter a door that travels them to a fantasy world filled with elves, dwarfs and giants. "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" graces theaters on Dec. 9. Let's move on to the action genre. "King Kong," need I say more? Master storyteller Peter Jackson expands his vision and CGI technology in this highly anticipated remake. A filmmaker (Jack Black), his leading lady (Naomi Watts), and a group of explorers travel to a remote island where a mythological monster lives. "King Kong" invades theaters on Dec. 14. If independent films are more of your taste, go see "Brokeback Mountain," starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee, same director as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and ''Brokeback Mountain" is about two cowboys that fall in love, but deal with the consequences of having a homosexual relationship. We've recently seen more independent films being recognized, this would be no exception. If you're into comedies, "Fun with Dick and Jane" has great potential. Starring Jim Carrey and Tèa Leoni in a 1977 remake, where as a married couple, commit robberies to pay the bills. "Fun with Dick and Jane" hits theaters on Dec. 21. For the drama and romance crowd, "Memoirs of a Geisha" is the obvious choice. Geishas are females trained at a young age to dance, act and sing to entertain wealthy men. Ziyi Zhang plays the geisha where she falls in love with a powerful and wealthy man (Ken Watanabe). I predict Oscar nominations for Zhang and Watanabe. Already released, "Memoirs of a Geisha" expands into a wider release on Dec. 23. For the straight forward drama fans, Steven Spielberg's "Munich" looks promising. Based on the 1972 Munich Olympics, where 11 Israeli athletes where killed, authorities are assigned to find the suspected 11 Palestinians involved. "Munich" stars Eric Bana and cruises into theaters Dec. 23. If a battle epic as well as drama is your cup óf tea, check out "The New World." Directed by Terrencfc Malick, "The New World" is about the explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell), who travels to America and encounters Native Americans where differences erupt into warfare. Hopefully, Farrell will shed away his "Alexander" debacle. "The New World" explodes into theaters on Christmas day. My recommendations are based on the film trailers I've viewed, interviews by the filmmakers, the filmmakers past reputations, promotional materials, and aspects of the films (special effects, storyline, etc.) that make them stand out. To see the trailers and view other media, visit each film's respective website.

What better time to take a little trip when the stresses of finals are over and the holidays are just around the corner? It doesn't have to be a long extended vacation; it can be a quick weekend jaunt to leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the holiday season. Traveling doesn't have to be stressful; there are plenty of getaways that are fabulous, but are close to home so airport chaos can be easily avoided. Here are four great suggestions that are close to home to inspire you get up and get going. Idyllwild: For those looking to heat things up when the weather gets cold, places like Quiet Creek Inn might just do the trick. Keep in mind, this is for adults only, rather it's for loving couples that need a little isolation or for relaxing with best friends. These cozy cabins are located on Strawberry Greek and have no televisions or telephones so there are no interruptions. All cabins have wood burningfireplacesto snuggle up next to. Sit and enjoy the sounds of the creek and the smell of pine trees on your very own private deck, or upgrade to the deluxe suit and sit on the deck in the hot tube. If you want to venture in town there are plenty of shops and restaurants to check out, there is even a pottery painting shop so you can make your own souvenir. Otherwise, you can do nothing but sit by the fireplace, drink hot coco, or maybe ^^ enjoy a nature walk on one the many trails through the woods and come back to your cabin to dip your toes inthejacuzzi. Del Coronado Island: If you're looking for something the whole family can enjoy, as well as love birds, Hotel Del Coronado has some f un holiday activities for all ages. The hotel is full of holiday cheer with its 50,000 twinkle lights, the new outdoor ice skating rink that over looks the ocean, a sleigh ride and of course s'more roasting. Just because you brought the children doesn't mean you can't have some alone time. Call the hotel babysitting service and have a romantic dinner with a night stroll along the beach. Don't worry; the kids won't be bored with the room's 26 television channels and a Nintendo Game Cube. Temecula: Once again adults only, but what better way to ring in the holiday season than a weekend trip to one of Temecula Valley's many wineries? The South Coast Winery Resort and Spa is a great place to spend the weekend. Forget about all the holiday stress with a day of wine tasting, once a little tipsy walk back to your villa for a little rest and romance. Each villa is separated from the other villas, so there's plenty of privacy; each has a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. If your ing or skiing down one of many trails. feeling up to it, try out their spa and get a Golden Bear Cabins are only minutes relaxing massage or swim in their heated away from Snow Summit, and they welcome the whole family, even pets. There's pool, which plays underwater music. Big Bear: There are many resorts in Big a playground, basketball and volleyball Bear and plenty of activities for the whole courts, wireless internet, television with a family. For the adventurous types, Snow DVD player and video rentals so the family Summit Mountain Resort is a great place can cuddle up in the comfort of their cabin to get your energy out while snow board- after a long day of activities.

The $30,000 to $60,000 and car salary increase is set in place for allowances raised to $1000 a five years, giving 23 of our CSU month. Our current President Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride Karen S. Haynes salary was $203,376, but with the salary increase she now brings home $230,232, not including her $60,000 dollar annual housing allowance and a $1,000 monthly car allowance. As a result, many campus presidents now get a housing allowance that's larger than the starting salary of most assistant professors. "Realistically, this won't have much effect on students financially. For example, at CSUSM, our President got a raise of $27,000. If you divide that by approximately 7000 students that means that it cost each student about $4. So it's likely to have a greater effect on students' morale than their pocketbooks," says Dr. Linda Holt, chairperson for Academic Senate. . The trustees recognize compensation for presidents and system executives as a key element in the California State University's success. The Board of Trustees say that the ability to offer a competitive salary increase is critical to the CSU's ability to recruit and retain key executives who are competent and visionary leaders. Higher education in California shares in a national system that has a very limited pool of qualified executives, and not only do we compete with these key institutions for new executives, but CSU executives are under pressure to consider highly competitive offers from these same institutions.

This includes examining the police report to see what descriptions the victims gave versus the evidence uncovered by the police department's investigation. This also includes using the responses given in an interview with the suspect of both cases and comparing his claims to those of the other two women involved. The suspect has denied any involvement in acts of sexual battery at University Village, but has been made aware that he is considered a strong suspect in the matter. The suspect's name and descriptors are available, for anyone who seeks it, at the University Police Department. According to the Public Records Act sections 6250-6270 of the Government Code, such details about a person can become public record if the information will not endanger the safety of a person or endanger successful completion of an investigation. Information can also be released if factual circumstances surround the crime or incident. "University Police has completed its investigation of this matter and offered up all substantial evidence to the District Attorney for review. Therefore, releasing the suspect's name will not interfere with our efforts," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, To obtain more information about these cases, contact University Police at 760-750-4567.

But on the other hand, the timing of this increase is unfortunate - we are giving large raises to presidents at the same time as we are asking students to tighten their belts." At the same time they boosted the President salary increases, the Board of Trustees raised student fees another eight percent, and proposed that their fees increase ten percent each year for the nextfiveyears. "Twenty-seven of the Board's implemented a housing allowance for CSU executives. Some university presidents are required to live in official university provided residences. CSU provides official residences at Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona, San Diego and San Jose. Where official CSU residences are not available, the Board of Trustees provides CSU presidents assistance with their housing. The presidents' residences are used for university business including an executive office, university meetings, university-related entertainment, social functions and fundraising. "It is clear to everyone that housing costs in California are much higher than in other parts of the country. Ifpresidential salaries are 49.5 percent less than at comparable institutions, and there is, on top of that, no adjustment for the high cost of housing, we're asking a lot for someone to accept leadership positions on our campuses. Also, keep in mind the demands that are placed on presidents for opening up their personal homes to the campus and the community. Offering different amounts to presidents in different parts of the state allows the CSU to adjust the payment to local needs within the state." says Neal Hoss, vice president offinanceand administrative services. The last comprehensive change was made in the summer of2000. Housing assistance has been reassessed this year in view of equity, housing maintenance costs and services, real estate market changes and housing market relationships. In addition to the housing assistance, the Board of Trustees' adopted a resolution that provides presidents the option of receiving a $750-1,000 per month automobile allowance in lieu of a University vehicle, to support university related business travel requirements. Students, staff, and faculty members have been deeply disturbed by the direction the Trustees are taking the people's university. On the one hand, they are making the system increasingly unaffordable to eligible students. On the other hand, they are failing to pay its faculty and staff enough to survive in this high cost of living state.

They walked out with big raises as well as hefty housing and car allowances. But 40,000 faculty and staff, and 400,000 students have nothing to celebrate about.

As stated in The Pride article titled Sexual Battery at UVA, printed on Nov. 8, it was through the investigation of this incident that a second victim was found who gave descriptions of a suspect that matched those of the first victim, further implicating the case's suspect.

The courses Professor O'Halloran will be offering are: The Politics of Irish Nationalism, Politics and Society in Ireland, Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland, and The Politics of European Union Integration. Course information and class schedules are available on the web through the SMART system. According to Cynthia Chavez Metoyer, professor, department chair and internship coordinator f or the political science department, " The courses are open to students of all majors. However, students will want to check with their f aculty advisor if they are u nsure how the courses might count toward t he University or m ajor requirements." Currently, the politi- cal science department does not have a tenure-track faculty member who teaches eastern, western or central European politics, said Metoyer. "Students will have the opportunity to learn about three important cases, namely Ireland, Northern Ireland and/or the European Union. Each case study raises interesting questions and offers important lessons—economic, social and political—that are relevant for citizens in a global society," said Metoyer. "Approximately 50 million Americans claim some Irish ancestry so students can gain more knowledge about their Irish roots and ancestral homeland," stated Patty Seleski, professor and department chair of the history department. "Given his experience and expertise, and add this to his background as an international scholar, O'Halloran can o ffer students a global view of the world and an opportunity to look at issues f rom a completely different perspective," said Seleski. O'Halloran has taught in the United States, Ireland, and the Ukraine, among other countries, so he is aware of the differences between the Irish and U.S. university systems. He has a great sense of humor and is dedicated to his students and interested in creating courses that will be interesting to American students, according to Seleski. O'Halloran mentioned that his courses will provide students with a sense of past and present Ireland and will be a unique opportunity to study Irish politics and history, taught directly from an Irishman. "The concepts of change and transformation will be central to both my Irish politics and history courses. Ireland is quite simply a fascinating country to study. The past fifteen years have been ones of profound transformation," said O'Halloran. "Politically, socially and economically, the Ireland of 2005 bears little resemblance to the Ireland of 1985. Ireland has one of the best performing econo- mies in the world. The authority of the Catholic Church has collapsed. As such, modern Ireland is becoming quite secular. This compares with the 1950s, for example, when the Church was a major social and political actor and when Irish society was fragmenting because of emigration. Whilst contemporary Ireland is a very dynamic country, there is also a great sense of unease. Many commentators argue that citizens have become too selfish. We are, it is suggested, a nation of self regarding consumers rather than other regarding citizens," commented O'Halloran, about the ample information behind what can be gained through studying Irish politics. "My focus in the Northern Irish politics course will be on conflict resolution in a deeply divided society. A fter thousands of deaths and injuries, Northern Ireland is currently at peace. The course will trace the historical origins of the conflict. It will emphasize that the Graduate student shares study College invite Assemblyman te speak on campus BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer Educating students, faculty and campus guests about fetishes and 'culturally poetic sexual expression', guest speaker and Cal State San Marcos graduate student, Chuck Bailey, explored Chuck Bailey the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of sexual arousal and e gression, on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Fetishes are defined as something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification. Bailey says, "I think there is a certain stigma associated with fetishes. A fetish always implies a dysfunction, and not every fetish is a dysfunction. Fetish then becomes a j unk work." Fetishes can often be defined by culture. According to Bailey's presentation, the U.S. has popularized sex and fetishism. Body modification was one of the topics discussed in the forum. The U.S. is well-known for practicing body modifications including breast implants, body piercing, bras and corsets. The idea expressed by Chuck Bailey was to understand that all cultures have different practices regarding body modifications. The Chinese had a tradition called feet binding, practiced for over 1,000 years. Feet binding usually began when-the girl was four and took about five years to complete. If the process was started too late, the feet would be too large and not supple enough to bend, but starting too soon would carry the danger that the girl would be crippled for life and possibly b e unable to walk. Bound feet was a mark of the Han Chinese considered in that culture to be the mark of belonging to a more civilized echelon of people. Those who did not participate in this process were considered barbarians. There were sexual reasons behind bind- conflict must always b e understood as a human tragedy," said O'Halloran. O'Halloran promotes class participation because he sees teaching as a dialogue, and he is not traveling from Ireland to merely deliver monologues, stated O'Halloran. Ideally, students will finish the courses having gained new perspectives with a desire to learn more about the course topics and will have also developed their critical analytical faculties. According to O'Halloran, he loves his job and the classroom interaction it provides and feels students and teachers are privileged to be given the opportunity to study and learn. He is excited about his first visit to California and hopes to learn more about Californian politics, culture and history. "So if you see a lost Irishman on campus please point him in the right direction...to the nearest blue ocean where the sand is warm and the sun shines," said O'Halloran. BY PATRICK B.LONG Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Chuck Bailey ing feet; it was the longest-lived fetish in the world. After binding the feet, the lower legs atrophied. The woman would use her hip muscles to move relying less on leg muscles resulting in enlargement of the hip muscles and also of the perineum muscle. The perineum is the small area between the anus and vagina. Binding did increase the shrinkage power of the vagina, which was an appeal of this process. In 1895, foot binding was outlawed in China and is no longer practiced. Other topics discussed in the forum were paraphilias, which are recurrent intense sexuality arousing fantasies, urges, behaviors, generally involving non-humans, objects, or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or partner. Some of the paraphilias focused on clinical fetishism. Clinical fetishism is when the fetish becomes a problem with fantasy, such as Transvestism, S & M, and Bondage. An example of paraphilias is bondage, where someone, usually persons of power, is put into a more subjective role, to fulfill their fantasies. Some of the treatments discussed about clinical paraphilias are psychoanalysis and behavior modification. The intended purposes of the forum were to project cultural difference of various fetishes and provide a better understanding of 'culturally poetic sexual expression*. The idea, presented by Bailey, was to try to withhold judgment and understand the context presented. Bailey has offered this forum before and it has gained great interest by students, faculty, and guests. Bailey is a graduate student working towards his Masters at Cal State San Marcos. If you would like more information, please contact Chuck Baileyatcb999@cox.net. Assemblyman Ray Haynes (R) held an open forum on Wednesday Nov. 16 at the Mezzanine on Cal State San Marcos, sponsored by the College Republicans. The Assemblyman for district 66 was promoting his initiative for a state run border patrol and his "Board of Equalization." The initiative, known as the "California Border Police Act," would set into place a state police department whose main purpose would be to assist the federal Border Patrol. It would also enforce state wide immigration laws. Such laws would include employer enforcement of these laws. "We have about three quarters of the signatures we need for this initiative," said Assemblyman Haynes, during the open forum. "The Board of Equalization", "A quasi-judicial office, the BOE hears the appeals of taxpayers (both individuals and businesses) who feel state taxing authorities have ruled incorrectly," reads the Web site supporting the initiative. "I was happy with the turn out," said Haynes about the crowd. He stated that there was an open flow of people coming and going.

Or that 58.4 percent of freshmen come from North San Diego County? The average student at CSUSM most likely does not know the basics of our campus. There is now no excuse because interesting facts about the demographics of our campus are readily available in the pocket-sized handbook, Quickstats 2006. According to publications manager, George Cagala, "It's an economical way of presenting a clear, concise profile of the campus as it relates to students (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.); faculty, budgets, financial aid and other info." The fingertip facts and figures booklet contains a map of the campus and phone numbers from the various departments at CSUSM. It also provides a brief history of the campus. For instance, of the 210 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 209 have a doctorate or the highest degree in their field. The annual payroll for CSUSM employees is included in Quickstats, as well as the most popular major, which is business administration, followed by liberal studies. Of the 7,500 students who attend Cal State San Marcos, approximately 3,954 received financial aid for the 2004-2005 school year. This handy booklet was funded by the University Advancement publications budget, and is an informative and f un resource for anyone who may be interested in the campus. Quickstats is perfect for student orientations, community events and chamber of commerce meetings. Prospective employees and students will find the booklet very convenient in learning more about their future campus. Parents of students as well as donors and volunteers will also find this compendium of campus facts and figures useful. The basic statistical information was gathered from various departments at CSUSM and compiled into one pocket-sized booklet.

"This is what we do; we're in the food business," remarked Shuit. "Sometimes, people take freedom for granted. We are trying to make the situation better for them before they deploy. Our freedoms are a direct result of the service of these men and women." Like any true holiday celebration, there was food, family, games, music and prizes. "We'll be raffling off TVs, DVDs, and all the way down to oil changes. We'll even be offering a weekend package to a resort for four," said Lt. Col Kozenisky proudly* "It's unreal how much support we've gotten. Albertson's especially," mentioned Sgt. Stephen Ferguson. "This event is giving the Marines a Thanksgiving and Christmas with families since they won't be here to celebrate with them." Jackie Ferguson, the mother of Sgt. Stephen Ferguson, spearheaded the event acknowledging the connection she feels with the service men and women. "When you see them, your heart gets all warm and you can't stand to help think what theses guys are missing," said Jackie.

This course takes a racial group called "whites" as worry about how they will be skinny like her. Girls of color can never look like her (as far as being white), which sends a message that they are not as important." Studies have been conducted on nonwhite Barbie, and statistically kids of all ethnicities for the most part have chosen the white Barbie as more beautiful and more desirable than nonwhite dolls. White is desired in this country because white equals power and privilege. Mattel Public Relations Michelle Llorin says, "Mattel was the first company to have ethnic Barbie dolls plus Barbie's first best friend was Christine and African American Barbie doll." Mattel introduced Barbie's first friend Christie, and A frican-American Barbie in 1968. Mattel is the first toy company to have produced ethnic Barbie's and carries them all year round. Currently, Barbie comes in Hispanic, African American and Asian versions all around the world. Mattel states three Barbie dolls are sold every second somewhere in the world. With more than $3 billion in retail, Barbie is the number one girl's brand worldwide. The Barbie Doll continues to be a top seller for the toy company Mattel. The forum will discuss Barbie and the impacts it holds on girls in today's society. The student will share what they know and offer support to student activism. Professor Liliana Rossmann said, " I've attended the forum in the past and I have learned a lot. Growing up in Mexico, I had an entirely different perspective on Whiteness. In Mexico, I am considered " white" because my ancestors (some of them, anyway) came f rom Spain. In the U.S., the categories are different, so I_am supposed to check a different box: Hispanic, which is a cultural category, not a racial or. ethnic category. This boxchecking reminds me of how these categories are socially c onstructed, as are our interpretations thereof." The forum will be a provocative, interactive, experiential space in which students, faculty, and guests can explore assumptions and misconceptions about race and whiteness. Students, faculty, and guests will leave with a better understanding of the concepts of whiteness and be motivated to learn more. The forum will be held from 11:15-12:45 p.m. in Commons 206 on Thursday, Dec. 1. MARINES, from page 1 according to Diconti. With the gracious support of Albertsons, the early holiday picnic and celebration had all the necessary ingredients for a deliciotis assortment of meal options. "We'll have turkey, ham, prime rib, and all the fixings. It's a complete holiday meal," said Fred Shuit, senior vice president of Albertsons grocery stores. Over a hundred Albertson's associates were on site unloading WHITENESS, from page 1 Laura Hansen says, "Whiteness is not easy to explain; I believe whiteness means power and privilege at the expense of others' disadvantage. Most whites would say I am not a racist and I would say maybe not aggressively, but passively, we are because of the stereotypes we are fed daily through the media, laws and institutions." COMM 454 was first offered in Fall 2003 and was the result of an independent study that Professor Dreama Moon conducted with a small group of communication students. Given her research in whiteness studies and the response that she received from students when she presented information about her research, it was decided by the department to develop this course. "I felt that this course was imperative in terms of my goal of social and racial justice. It is important to talk about whites and white supremacy in a conscious and critical way that help students understand both the history of race, racism, and white supremacy in the U.S. and its historical legacy and present day manifestation. The old conservative politically correct a critical object, w hich i s gener- ally not done in most academic forums," said Professor Moon. Students in Moon's class have been preparing for this forum by looking in depth into topics such as Barbie, beauty products and political cartoons. In the Whiteness class, the students read and discuss all aspects of whiteness. Moon mentioned that, "It is important that young people learn that they can effect change and that they have important insights about the world to share. The forum will allow my students to realize and utilize their expertise in the area of whiteness." Students are looking in depth at how whiteness effects the topic they are studying. Hansen, a student in COMM 454 is studying Barbie dolls and how whiteness ties in with Barbie. Barbie is one of the biggest icons in the world produced by Mattel. She represents what is considered beautiful in this country, which is represented as white.

I must admit that last Thanksgiving, while bundled-up in a mountain cabin at Lake Arrowhead with the "love of my life", I would've never envisioned this year's solo trek to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Then again, life is f ull of surprises. [I suppose many aspects of life could be taken in with great dread and horror, like the unexpected end of a highly romantic relationship, or they could be embraced as a part of our greater individual growth, and welcomed in with new adventures.] The woman I was last Thanksgiving no longer exists. She was a solid, levelheaded professional investigating the possibilities of a personal life aside from college and the boardroom. She snuggled a handsome French gentleman beside a roaring fire, drank hot chocolate and reflected with calm joy on the mundane artifacts in that simple mountain cabin, as snow fell gently against the icy windows. She danced in the kitchen, as she hadn't done in years, and lingered on his every breath as he whispered sweet fantasies into her ear. She wanted very much to be swept away, but I think that woman was very afraid, and wanted desperately to believe in something beyond her deeply guarded inner world. Yes, that woman went away, but she made room for the bolder one sitting here today, carefully packing her ruck sack for four days in the great outdoors. This will be my first "Thinks"giving. I am a bit apprehensive, but I thought this might be a solid and rewarding way to face my fear of isolation, to even admit to it, as I often consider myself the world's biggest loner. I'm expecting a true adventure, even a bit of a vision quest, a way to get back in touch with my own power and gentle thoughts. I will begin Thanksgiving morning on the South Rim, and gradually make my way twelve miles below to Supai Village in the Havasupai lands. Havasupai means "people of the bluegreen water," and I too grew up around blue-green water, near Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras. Back then I was a bold mountain girl, bursting with hopes and dreams. So, as I hike down the windy paths, I will watch the sky and listen for whispers in the wind. Somewhere there might be signs of what is in store for me, or of what I now seek from without and within. The main goal of this quest is to grab onto some new dreams, or perhaps ask the Earth to return Photos c ourtesy of L izz O sbourne / The Pride some of my old ones, as I must have set them down somewhere. I hope t o return to finish this semester at Cal State San Marcos with a renewed sense of spirit and "thanksgiving." Happy Trails, and Happy Thanksgiving to all! A holiday reflections, a Thanksgiving pledge BY BRIAN MASON Pride Staff Writer When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of drunken relatives watching football after stuffing themselves with turkey. This Thanksgiving will be slightly different. Instead of many relatives, there will only be immediate family i.e. my brother, me, my father and mother. In retrospect, I look back at Thanksgivings when my grandmother would come over bearing apple pie, stumbling from her car because carpel tunnel and a weary spirit hindered her movement.

I mering sunlight, naturally blinding everything around. This is the first time she has been gone since I was born, and the impact has taken a heavy toll on my family's spirits. Nonetheless, this Thanksgiving will be spent in best of spirits as alcohol flows and the memory of family members warms our minds. Thanksgiving is about giving. It says it in the name. We are not a religious family, but all our thoughts go to a member thousands of miles away, as we stuff turkey and wine into our gluttonous bellies. Thanksgiving is a remembrance of good times past and of great times to come. The social anxiety that grips the human spirit is sent elsewhere as we remember the ones we love and give thanks and praise to those we care most for. This Thanksgiving I will be drunk, remembering all that life has offered me, and all that life has taken from me. I will spend Thanksgiving with friends and family that comfort me through the unnecessary pitfalls that we encounter on a daily basis. This Thanksgiving I will be thankful. This Thanksgiving I will be remembering. This Thanksgiving I will be honoring. This Thanksgiving I will be loved.

Junior literature and Writing Major Curry Mitchell Toy drive re-ignites holiday flame BY MONIQUE NIESLEY Special to The Pride With Thanksgiving almost here, students may be starting to feel the Grinch-like effects of too much holiday commercialism: Christmas décor went up in most stores right after Halloween, the Christmas-themed commercials began soon after, and the pre-Christmas sales have already started. Even in the midst of a nice turkey coma, many still have to figure out a way to juggle shopping with their finals schedule. None of this does much good for fostering "peace on earth" or "good will towards men." If you'd like a quick, sure-fire way to change all that, the CSUSM Pre-Health Society (PHS) has the remedy: make a donation to their annual toy-clothing-food drive. "I had a magical experience when I donated toys and helped give them out to needy kids in Escondido," said Phoenix Lindgren, PHS President. "It was a Christmas morning I'll never forget." Lindgren hopes to spread the magic to her fellow students, staff, and faculty through the PHS toy drive. "In past years, the Pre-Health Society has just accepted donations of used clothing—and we want to continue that tradition— but we also wanted to expand our effort to reach out to more people that arc part o f o ur c ommunity," i smo^check"speciar " 1 I I | t est only / test all* CtQi 7C vDO I .

"The Interfaith Council serves the needs of the poorest people living here in the North County—we are hoping to not only gather clothing for their homeless clients, but toys for the kids this year, too." According to the Interfaith web site (www.interfaithservices.org), their clients need everything from baby formula to bus passes, from school supplies to toothpaste. "If you can't afford to donate a toy you can probably afford to donate a couple of toothbrushes or a stick of deodorant—everything helps." That said, Lindgren went on to show that helping the children is what really motivates her. "The kids started lining up outside the Interfaith Council building at 3a.m.," recalls Lindgren. "They were each allowed to choose one 'big' toy and one stuffed animal. They took such care to make their choices, older kids would pick out something for a younger sister or brother rather than something for themselves; the kids were so loving and thankful and generous... I can't wait to go back this Christmas, even if I do have to be there at 5a.m. What else am I gonna be doing at 5a.m. Christmas morning?" Look for the big truck donated by U-Store-It/U-Haul parked outside The Dome in parking lot E starting Tuesday, November 29 through Thursday, December 1. Donations will be accepted from 8a.m. until 3p.m. each day. The Pre-Health Society is a campus student organization dedicated to helping students achieve their dream of attending professional medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, nursing, and pharmacy schools.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT 7 �8 FEATURES TUesday. November 22, 2005 THE PRIDE The hidden costs of discounted student travel Student learns a lesson in accomodation BY JOELLE FRANKEL Special To The Pride As a broke college student, I am always looking for new ways to cut corners, but recently my frugal nature got the best of me. With Thanksgiving and Winter Break quickly approaching, I only hope that my fellow CSUSM students can learn from my mistakes. When it comes to holiday travel plans, be wary of deceptive student discounts. When planning a trip to Boston this October, I searched for deals on Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets, but the plane ticket prices were astronomical, and the hotel packages they offered were equally outrageous. I had seen a student travel office in PB and was curious to see what kinds of fares they offered. The travel agent at STA Travel was friendly and seemed interested in my travel plans. She immediately found tickets for $150 less than I had been able to find on my own. When I explained to her that my friend and I were both racing at "Head of the Charles," a competitive regatta in Boston, she offered to find us a hotel nearby as well. She found us lodging a mere 10 minutes from the racecourse and, to my surprise, it was only $80 per night. All of the hotels I had searched for on my own were at least $300,1 was delighted by the good news. In fact, I was so pleased with my initial experience that I emailed the travel agent, thanked her for her assistance and requested contact information so I could write an article about STA Travel upon returning from Boston. I hoped to title my article something like, "STA Travel: Good Deals and Great Service for Students." Two weeks before our trip I contacted our hotel, The Battlefield Inn, and requested a non-smoking room, as my travel companion and I are both allergic to smoke, and needed to be in peak-condition for our races. The front desk assured me that our room would be non-smoking. Our hotel seemed mòre like an apartment complex as we checked in at one building before walking back outside under artificial awnings. On the way to our room, we both noticed the thick and overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Immediately upon opening the door the same intense smell flooded toward us, this time obviously masked by the sting of disinfectant. We immediately returned to the front desk, requested a new room, and were taken by the manager to smell three other rooms, all of which were intolerable. Finally, we arrived at a room on the second floor and decided that we had better take it, as we only detected a relatively faint amount of smoke. We awoke to ourfirstmorning in Boston with sinus headaches, which later turned into migraines. Our voices were faint and throats scratchy, hindering communication with our rowers. Another unwelcome surprise was the fact that it took two busses and a subway car 90 minutes to get us from F E I FIVE RE FIVE 1 |39Daysf BUY 1 MYSTIC I I A T "fans i Unliminted Lewi 11 MYSTIC TANS or I UY C B 1„ u Tr » I» : 1 I T D A TANS TAN/ GET< 1 r REE I| L e ' g• I I Premium D eds I IULTRA T A K I C i Fn r r 0 » W * 2 5 I 0 nW $ 3 9 WU'àiìimìgMDDms a trip to Mexico, also through STA Travel, I might have avoided another near-disaster. My boyfriend and I had wanted to take a vacation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and found a very affordable package using the STA Travel website. After looking at pictures of many different hotels, we settled on the Marbella Suites, which featured beautiful rooms, a clear pristine swimming pool, and looked like a pictureperfect paradise. We were greeted at the front of our hotel by a starving stray puppy, covered with mange and dragging an injured leg. It lied down on the tile stairs amid piles of dead ants. Being an animal lover, I cried each and every time we passed it, and we ended up spending $150 and a majority of our time helping the dog. Although the staff at Marbella Suites was friendly and accommodating, our room was nothing like the one featured in the pictures. We had no television, no blow dryer, no closet, and our bathroom was in neglected condition. The beautiful swimming pool we had seen online was choked with leaves, dirt and other debris. "With hotels, you get what you pay for," says Cooper. I guess I should have known when the description featured only three stars. Although we are able to look back and laugh about our terribly unromantic vacation in Cabo, we didn't see the humor in it at the time. Once again, it's possible that we could have salvaged our romantic getaway by simply picking up the phone, but I guess we'll never know. "We have STA Travel affiliates all over t hrough t heir a gency a nd arc n ot s atisfied the world." So if students aren't happy with their lodgings, they should call the with their lodgings, Cooper advises that nearest office and ask what their options they "go to the nearest office, call the affilare. iate office, or call the 1-800-number.

On the bus ride back from the race course, the driver asked "you do know that the upper floors of the Battlefield Inn are lower income housing?" This explained the babies crying and cats wandering around. From that point on, we lovingly referred to our hotel as "The Minefield Inn," and knew that we had to get out of there. Fortunately, a friend of ours had an extra room at the Holiday Inn Select in Cambridge and let us stay there for free. After what we'd been through it seemed like The Ritz Carlton. Thanks to a good night's sleep, my friend and I both went on to have great races. Anticipating a lot of return traffic at the airport, we were careful to get there two hours before our flight. When we arrived at the airport, however, we were unable to check in at the electronic travel kiosk, and couldn't find our flight on the information board. An airline agent informed us that our flight had been cancelled in August. "Your travel agent should have let you know," he explained. The agent was able to get us on another flight, but now we had to endure a 4 hour layover in Atlanta. We spent all four hours cursing STA Travel's incompetence, swearing never to use their services again. After speaking with Adam Cooper, STA Travel's District Manager of San Diego, it is now clear to me that instead of complaining to each other, we should have been complaining to STA Travel. "If you get to a destination and it's bad, you can give us a call," said Cooper. He explained that if students book a trip «¡H $ 49 l Reservations Not Required.

I have is a beast that refuses to be moved BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride when he is under the basket. I seem to always pick Gonzaga to make a run; this year is no different. I really like Kentucky. I think they could go all the way. They remind me a lot of Illinois from last year. They have three guards who can light up the scoreboard in Rajon Rondo, Patrick Sparks, and Joe Crawford. However, their inside game worries me a little bit; when you have three guys who like to shoot, you need someone in thè paint to pick up the rebounds when those guys miss. I think Boston College can have a decent season behind Craig Smith, and my former elementary school classmate, Jared Dudley. However, they don't have any perimeter shooting and just like last year, they will fall short in the post season. I think the biggest bust this year will be Texas Tech. I don't see why so many people have them ranked in the top 20. They have way too many freshmen on one team to be successful. They have no star power, and not to mention, Bobby Knight hasn't won jack since 1987. The two saddest teams to watch this season will be North Carolina and Illinois. North Carolina lost everyone. If they win 10-games I will be impressed. Illinois still has Dee Brown and James Augustine, but I don't expect them to be in the top 25 at seasons end. Now for the sleepers. Maryland is going to be very impressive this year. D.J. Strawberry is back and healthy. James Gist will become a star and a force to be reckoned with. Nik CanerMedley.and Ekene Ibekwe will fill nice complimentary roles. I honestly, see them making at least the sweet 16. I may look like a fool now for saying this, but I think San Diego State could be a sleeper this year. Brandon Heath does crazy things with the basketball. Marcus Slaughter kills his opponents under the basket. A SDSU team with two future NBA quality players is something that I can't remember seeing in my lifetime. Not to mention they play in a weak Mountain West Conference. I can see the Aztecs winning a game in the NCAA tourney. However, I think the true sleeper of them all will be UCLA. Jordan Farmar Arron Afflao, arid Cedric Bozeman provide the young star power. Luc Mbah a Moute could be one of those rare freshmen that have a huge impact on a team's success. The Bruins do have some tough competition in the Pac10, with Arizona and Stanford there to challenge them in the regular season. That challenge will prepare the young team for the NCAA tourney, and don't be surprised if you see UCLA in the elite 8 in March. My original final four picks never make it so don't go bet you college tuition, but here they are: I like Gonzaga, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Arizona.

BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride Clarifications regarding Ms. Sarah Leonard's rebuttal: As it concerns your insinuation that I tried to deceive readers into thinking that I attended the event, if one actually reads the article it should become clear that my knowledge of the event was based on my reading about it in "The Pride" She said: "First I would like to comment on the fact that for one to accurately report on an event, students should be able to assume that the writer actually attended the event." Clarification: If you want to argue that folks have to attend events in order to be able to provide commentary about them, then there is heaps of literature that you may want to avoid. She said: "Do you really mean for ASI to censor speakers simply because they are controversial?" I say: No, I mean for ASI to be more reasonable in serving the needs of the student body, for ASI claims to be the "officially recognized voice of the students." And I simplyfindit hard to believe that the student body is best served by events like "Sluts Unite". Now, on to this week's topic: Fee increases at the CSU. So here's the deal: On October 27, The California State University Board of Trustees (folks in the clouds twirling wands and wearing crowns) agreed on a budget request that would increase funding for the CSU at a level consistent with the Compact for Higher Education. Oh, and the budget request is also designed to increase undergraduate tuition to an average total of $3,368 per year for California residents. This figure includes average campus-based fees. So our fees are going up. Are you interested? Does this news upset you? I reckon that it should, for losing money is painful. And as one of my professors told me, people like pleasure and dislike pain. . I have the privilege (a privilege above all other privileges) to work with some of the folks in ASI, and they seem quite miffed. But I guess they should be quite miffed. I mean, if they were merely indifferent (as opposed to quite miffed) I'd probably be quite miffed at them for not accu- rately representing students who should be miffed about losing money. Stay with me people. The point is that I know ASI is upset, and I think that other students should probably be upset as well. The question is, while it's natural to be upset about losing money, are we really being burdened that much? I conducted a little research and discovered that even after the forthcoming fee increase, CSU students (residents) will pay less than students (residents) at state schools in New York ($4350) and Pennsylvania ($4906), and almost the same as students at state schools in Hawaii ($3352). According to the Trends in College Pricing 2005 report published by CollegeBoard, "Average total tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities in 2005-06 are $5,491." So on paper it appears that, relative to students at public schools in other states, we aren't facing that oppressive of a burden. But then I would be a jerk to ignore the folks who argue that students in Southern California are burdened by a high cost of living. This corner claims that an increasing tuition, combined with said high cost of living, makes it hard to survive. Your political commentator would like to respond to this claim: Bologna. When I look around campus and talk to my peers, I don't get the impression that most CSUSM students are barely surviving. I see spiffy cars in the parking lot, expensive surf shop clothes, and iPods; I hear stories about folks killing heaps of beers, and going out for sushi. I don't think that this sort of consumption pattern is bad, but I also don't think this sort of consumption pattern is reflective of students that can barely survive. And if students that consume like this can barely survive, I would argue that it is their own fault. I would argue that students ought to live more modestly. It's my view that being a student doesn't entitle you to a four year vacation. And for the students who live modestly and still struggle to survive under these fee increases, I feel your pain. My point is this: Access to higher education should be affordable; I think that it basically is; and I think that when financial crises cause fees to rise to levels that are not relatively burdensome, students ought to try to endure the burden that exists by living more modestly. I have holes in my sandals.

What, and you all thought that was my job? Right? Well it is, but lest we all forget that I control this little Ombudsman box I'm just going to say that there were some problems with last week's edition and there was some good stuff too (i.e. three big glasses of beer on the back page). There, that about sums it all up — no more in-depth Ombudsman's, just bad summaries that don't explain anything. No, actually, I want to talk about politics this week, the Robbins Report just isn't getting it done (just kidding Jason). Seriously, though, the question that I want to tackle is a very real one: Does The Pride have a political bias? Last week's issue had the question in there, whether it was apparent or not. Between the Letter to the Editor accusing Jason of improperly assessing the political atmosphere at CSUSM and Jason's own column the week before, the question was subtle but there, as to whether or not The Pride is biased. Now I'm going to admit right off the bat that I'm biased on this topic; I like the Robbins Report and I agree with most of what Jason writes in it.

TofurkyPPP BY JOELLE FRANKEL Special To The Pride More than 40 million turkeys are killed each Thanksgiving. This year CSUSM students—be radical, be revolutionary, challenge tradition—give turkeys the opportunity to be thankful too. Before these beautiful birds arrive at your dinner table, they face unimaginable pain and suffering. The majority of turkeys spend the last 5-6 six months of their lives crammed into 3.5 square feet of space. PETA's website explains that "To keep the overcrowded birds from scratching and pecking each other to death, workers cut off portions of the birds' toes and upper beaks with hot blades...no pain killers are used during any of these procedures." Aside from terrible living conditions, the slaughtering practices of turkeys are inhumane and inexcusable. Also, according to PETA, the turkeys are hung upside down by one leg and their dangling heads are dipped ing: "Who is this crazy, rabbitinto an "electrified 'stunning food eating hippy trying to guilttank,' which immobilizes them trip me, and ruin my Thanksgivbut does not kill t hem" After ing...and how the hell does she the lucky ones get electrified, the know what I'm thinking?" turkeys' throats are slit by a blade Not too long ago, I was just like attached to a machine (although you. the blade many times misses its I used to show vegetarians my target), and finally the birds are pointy teeth and say, "If I'm not submerged in scalding hot water. supposed to eat meat, what are Due to genetic engineering, these for?" poor conditions, and a constant For a long time I lived in feed of antibiotics, another orga- denial, until I took a philosophy nization, Advocates for Animals, class here at CSUSM.

Arguments for cougars to ponder during thanksgiving BY JEANNE SAPP Pride Staff Writer There is a point-counterpoint being argued in various arenas in our nation - government, church, and schools. This unmediated debate centers on the question of national integrity. The real question is do we have any? And whose ethics, which political party, worldview, or economic demographic, will stand for those of the nation? The arguments are many and passionate and often contradictory: We are a Christian nation. But there is a constitutional separation of church and state. There is a constitutional right to privacy, upon which grounds the highest court in the land based its ruling that unborn children may be killed. But' capital punishment is, by definition, cruel and inhumane. Torturing prisoners is unethical, and as an ethical nation, we mustn't sanction it. But that part of the Geneva Convention is void because terrorists don't fight fair - they hide behind women, and in churches, and they dress like civilians. We are a democratic republic; it works well for us, and will therefore work for other nations. But who are we to say that the Middle East should, or can, follow our form of government? And if they choose to remain a despotic theocracy, do we still send them aid? Do we vaccinate the children who are then inculcated with the religion of hating Americans? If they despise everything we stand for, and we stand for healthy children and helping old people and capitalism, do we continue to aid them? It is interesting that many people are not at all uncomfortable being of two minds on any debate. The most popular spin the past few years? "I support the troops but I'm against the war." The men and woman who comprise the troops have sworn to defend and protect the Constitution, and if the nation over which that Constitution rests sends them to war, they go. If you support the military, doesn't it follow that you support the nation that military protects? Perhaps we just want to avoid that quagmire that society found itself in when our men and women of the armed forces returned from Vietnam - exhausted, injured, sick, and demonized. The United States of America was once the moral voice of the* world. Those in disagreement with our current administration will howl at that statement, because it offends their sensibilities that any nation should hold itself above others in moral or ethical behavior. Yet those same people would say we are morally obligated to take this stand or that stand in the world. Some might base those obligations on faith: I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to feed and clothe the poor. Or a political viewpoint - I'm a Democrat, and we believe in social equality for all. I'm a Republican and we need to provide jobs for everyone who wants one. I'm an atheist, but you don't kill another person because it's just wrong. Either we do maintain a strong moral and ethical national identity, even as we argue, sometimes in court, about what exactly is moral and ethical. Or we crawl off into a corner under the guise of some false humility and ask who are we to say what is right or wrong. �THE PRIDE 1 A 1 TH ^ Tuesday, November 22, 2005 lj Thanksgiving out on the BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fun.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Don't feel guilty if this item seems unfamiliar. Deprived, maybe, but not guilty. It's one thing to be ignored by TV, two more by radio, but this isn't even a matter for most any given sect of the under-the-radar faithful, for most of them have yet to bear Witness to the Lord of Lard, also known as Raymond Watts, also heard as "PIG". In fact, this latest release was initially only available overseas under the moniker of 'WATTS', but we can save marketing details for later, perhaps when "Pigmata" is actually made available through the average music store. First, let's get down to the gritty gristle of classification, of genre. No, I don't like to think of my music as predictable any more than you like yours dismissed as 'weird'. Nonetheless, this time there's really no getting around one of the most reviled labels in modern music history. "Industrial." Not since 'Rock' and 'Metal' began acknowledging their many illegitimate children (and parasitic twins) has there been a more nebulous sonic-flag. Some make it a family quilt, others a diaper and still others simply use it like a hanky...then there's the issue of what pocket they keep it in. And like so many things we wished we'd discovered, 'Industrial' was probably born before you were, during the dawn of electronic music and the twilight of free-love music. A coincidence? Nevermind. Two of the more often acknowledged forefathers were "Psychic TV" and "Throbbing Gristle". More performance art ventures than bands, their 'industrial music' might best be described as a liaison between punk, jazz and disco wherein all parties are as profoundly intoxicated as they are ugly.

It's almost as if people preferred electronic music for dancing rather than tearing the world apart. Many might credit the 'band' (Industrial acts often revolve around one or two core musicians) "Ministry" with establishing the 'electro-metal' favored by fans of "Static-X" and "Rammstein" or the 'industrial-pop/rock' of "nine inch nails/Trent Reznor" and "Marilyn Manson". Indeed, other two-decades-and-counting outfits like "Skinny Puppy" and "KMFDM" have become more like unusually-diverserock than ugly-techno. Raymond Watts, among the few who know the name, is best known for-his contributions to KMFDM (an acronym of the German saying 'No Pity for the Masses'), but tp truly prepare someone for PIG, they'd need to imagine every rocker or metal-head who ever used keyboards, synthesizers, programming etc. having a big party together. Now imagine a lanky yet rugged Brit in the alley behind them, getting creative with their garbage and kinky with their girlfriends. It took a week's worth of machismo to say that, but one of the best things about the mighty swine is that he's too much of a lecher to be a chauvinist, too violent to be a Neanderthal, and too unmarketabley creative to be a punk. Almost a decade ago, when "Sinsation" was released on Trent Reznor's now defunct record label, I learned something that I still hold as a personal creative philosophy: Every single negative thing about humanity can be turned into astoundingly beautiful 3 rt. PIG, like the best of Industrial MassDestructions, and the best of Punk's intentions, puts you in what I call the 'Dance Pit'. Don't cut a rug; disembowel it. The interchange and interplay of seemingly polarized elements marks each and every track of "Pigmata" like a salad tossed with gravy. Watts has a guttural roar and a sinister croon that even the most jaded listener couldn't dismiss as a mere shock-affectation. Though I admit it might be hard to say the same thing about song titles like "God Rod" or "On the Slaughterfront". In some places the guitar crush splits the world, only to lay the tracks that bring you down, down, down into leisurely grooves and BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Metropolis Records epic duets with divas, sirens, and the filthy whores we know as 'samples'. Unlike his previous albums, "Pigmata" is not only noticeably more guitar-driven, yet lacking in darkly serene instrumentals, but the production is far less polished, maintaining 'live' rather than futuristic textures. It's not uncommon for artists to harness the height of technology, only to return to something comparatively organic. In this case Watts also seems to favor clunkier analog electronics, but his use of orchestral catgut, big band brass, and even mambo drums remains crisp and uncanny. One drawback to this 'natural' production, however, is that Watts' aforementioned filthy mouth is even harder to decipher. There are some damn catchy melodies here, but damned again if I can sing along with more than half the chorus. Music fans might question whether PIG is Better for people who prefer their music ugly, yet are curious about the other side (or vice versa), and I could list off all the music I absolutely love that could pass in the old folks home, but I think there's a place that Industrial has all to itself. There might still be some space available for a few of these garage punks pretending they have the skill or puberty to play metal. In the end, it's often a feeling of wretched boredom with the lion's portion of music that leads to animals like PIG, who stare through stray hair and veins as the whole mess is slopped out, stirred with copper wire, and offered, to the lucky ones, as a way to fertilize all that mud in their ears.

Trolley bells ring and shrubbery lights flicker as skaters glide and fall on this unfamiliar ground. The ice skating rink known as "Fantasy on Ice" sits directly in front of the Horton Plaza mall. The main appeal of the rink is its outdoor location. While the typical ice rink is surrounded by smelly hockey bags and abandoned Gatorade bottles, Fantasy is surrounded with balloons and trees. Though it is roughly half the size of the Iceoplex rinks, Fantasy's lack of rowdy hockey players and penalty buzzers makes it preferable for those who aren't voraciously athletic. Skate into the holiday season with your family and friends and enjoy San Diego's only outdoor skating rink.

If the plot, performances, directing, etc is up to par, it obviously only helps the film. Knowing ahead of time that Shane Black wrote "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", I knew the two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, would not only have chemistry but develop a hilarious love/hate relationship. Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.), a petty thief from New York, escapes from the police after a robbery gone wrong. He stumbles into an audition of a casting call and gives an over the top spontaneous performance. Dabney Shaw (Larry Miller), a big time producer sees him as the next big thing and invites him out to Los Angeles. At a party, Harry meets Gay Perry (Kilmer), a gay detective, hence, his name. Also at the party, Harry runs into his childhood crush Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), an aspiring actress. Gay agrees to coach Harry, who does not how to act like a real cop, by taking him to solve a murder of a young woman. During a series of adventures where people turn up dead and clues are found, Gay becomes more irritated by Harry's absent mindedness. Also, Harry is prone to accidents and loses his own finger, not once, but twice. I knew Downey Jr. and Kilmer would have chemistry, because Black has written Hollywood's funniest action comedies (e.g. the Lethal Weapon Trilogy and The Last Boy Scout) where the chemistry between the two leading actors would carry the movie. Also, in his directorial debut, Black's use of cinematography shows that he is competent behind the camera as well as writing. He captured action scenes with the ease of a seasoned director. The next best thing of "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is the screenplay. Word by word, line by line, you can't help but to chuckle, and at times, burst out laughing. I know I did. For example, during an argument, Gay says, "If you looked in the dictionary next to the word 'idiot', you know what you'll find?" Harry cheerfully replies "A picture of me?" Typical Hollywood discourse would respond with "Yes". Kiss Kiss Bang Bang defies that logic by having Harry up the banter between the two characters by saying, "No, the definition of the word'idiot'." Black, knowing Hollywood's clichés and movie standards, embraces them and insults them simultaneously. For example, when Harry is about to interrogate a suspect by using the Russian roulette method (he empties a revolver, leaving one bullet in the chamber and spins it). Other films would have Harry ask his questions while pulling the trigger with no bullet being fired. But in this film, the bullet isfiredon the first try, killing the Images courtesy of Warner Brothers Pictures suspect. To top it off, Harry is shocked and ponders the question, "Don't I have like an eight percent chance of the gun being fired?" Another great line by Black, while insulting Hollywood, comes towards the end when Harry says "Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times."

Spend time during a rainy day BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer W ith winter weather just around the corner, outdoor activities are soon to be put on the self. To avoid getting cabin fever, here are some f un activities that can be done inside. For the adventurous type, Solid Rock Climbing Gym in San Marcos is the place, .because it's indoors, so even if it's raining outside, one can still be active without getting drenched. If water is your thing, but cold, windy weather isn't, then gyms with indoor pools, like YMCA or L. A Fitness, may meet your satisfaction. If you're looking to add a little more punch to your day, Dave and Busters is an exciting restaurant with a shooting arcade equipped with service call that would make anyone forget about the stormy weather outside. Spend your time eating yummy food like Philly cheese steak sandwiches, and nachos while playing simulated golf, baseball, basketball, surfing and any other activity that is typically meant for outdoor recreation. If the mere fact of going outside to drive to any of these places is a turn off, then stock up now on activities that keep you busy in the comfort of your home. First off, to take advantage of a day indoors, have a comfy pair of pajamas on hand. Movies are a great place to start, thanks to places like Blockbuster who, for a small monthly fee, allows unlimited movie rentals so you don't have to worry about late fees. Sometimes being cooped up indoors allows one to discover his or her creative side. Make sure to have plenty of paint, brushes, an art book and you just might find your inner artist. Bad weather also makes for a great excuse to get organized. Go through old pictures that were stuffed under the bed and make a scrapbook, look around your home for spare buttons, ribbon, colored paper and have at it. When the weathers cold and rainy, sometimes it's just nice to curl up next to the fireplace with a good book and escape mentally. The fact is, just because the weather may hinder outdoor hobbies, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the day. Give yourself a day to catch up on some long lost hobbies or take a much needed nap from the stress of everyday life. Just like squirrels stock up on nuts for the long winter ahead, start accumulating things that will keep you busy indoors while the weather keeps you from the outdoors. c iliS! "Wal-Mart: T he High Cost of Low Price' BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer The documentary "WAL*MART: The High Cost of Low Price" reveals thefinancialdestruction of having a corporation in the neighborhood. Created by Robert Greenwald, the Wal-Mart film travels through the United States, talking with small business owners who are now out of business. The story of Wal-Mart's impact is similar across the .country: Family-owned businesses can't compete with Wal-Mart's low prices. Though small businesses provide better wages, healthcare, and vacation time than Wal-Mart corporations, the cheap price of the corporation's merchandise ultimately attracts the most customers. As the supercenter steals shoppers away from smaller stores, those stores go out of business. In Middlefield, Ohio H&H Hardware founder Don Hunter tells how his little country store was overtaken by a Wal-Mart. In Hearne, Texas the town is described as looking hit by a neutron bomb, due to the now empty buildings and desolate streets. Cathedral City, California is short on police officers and fire fighters, due to city subsidies given to a new Wal-Mart. "I've seen a lot of companies crucified just because of one entity...commissioners do nothing but lay down the red carpet for Wal-Mart," said Hunter. Another man likens Wal-Mart to a Chinese company with American Board members. One person calls the store a monopoly that is going on a rampage through the American economy. At one point during the film, booklets entitled "How Wal-Mart is destroying the World" are distributed in Hunter's store. In China, Wal-Mart factory workers are paid less than three dollars a day. They are instructed to lie to inspectors about hours worked and the cleanliness of the factory. If the workers tell the truth about their mistreatment, their employers fire them. The factories in China have no air conditioning. One girl, referred to as "Princess" says she sits in her own sweat the entire day because her boss won't allow her to have a fan. At Wal-Mart factories in Bangladesh, workers are paid between 13 and 17 cents per hour. One woman brushes her teeth using her finger and ash from the fire. She does this because she can't afford a toothbrush or toothpaste with the wages she receives from working at the factory. Such instances explain why Wal-Mart can afford its 'everyday low prices', complete with a personified yellow blob. Lee Scott, CEO of Wal-Mart, calls the company "career and family-orientated" and "vital to the community". At the same time, Wal-Mart employees talk of working off the clock, unaffordable healthcare, and not having enough money for food. Wal-Mart is facing legal battles in three states regarding wage and hour abuses. Managers have reportedly BY LIZZ OSBORNE Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy ofwww.walmartmovie.com gone into computers under false IDs and moved workers' overtime hours to the following week's check. One employee has to choose between buying food and buying medicine when her children are ill, because she can't afford the health plan Wal-Mart offers. Another man gets in trouble for offering co-workers money to buy lunch when he sees they aren't eating during lunch breaks. Wal-mart encourages its employees to seek help from the government, via Welfare or Medicaid, instead of paying for healthcare with company money. A male employee explains, "You go to work knowing you aren't making enough money to make it, and yet you gotta fake it and put a smile on your face." In addition to financial lawsuits, Wal-Marts in Texas, Okla., and Mass. were fined for Clean Water Act violations. These stores kept pallets of pesticides and herbicides in their parking lots, where many of the products tore open and leaked onto the asphalt. When it rained, the chemicals washed into nearby rivers-sources of drinking water for many homes in the area. When a river keeper in Bentonville, AR reported environmental violations to Wal-Mart management, they didn't seem to care. Then she got a lawyer. In response to the corporate takeover in his city, Reverend James Lawson said, "It is written in the new testament 'the love of money is the root of all evil.'" He does not approve of the way in which Wal-Mart treats its employees and feels corporate greed is to blame. Lee Scott says a job at Wal-Mart is the path to the American dream. Lee Scott made 27,207,799 dollars last year. The average Wal-Mart employee made 13,861. It seems Scott does not understand the nightmare of minimum wage. Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films are taking viewers on an extraordinary journey that will change the way they think, feel - and shop, as thousands of free screenings of "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" debut in households across the nation. Have you ever wondered how the low cost of purchasing your underwear at Wal-Mart affects individual workers, consumers, small business owners and communities across the nation, and the entire world? If so, I highly recommend watching this movie. Although one-sided, Greenwald sheds light on how retail giant Wal-Mart mistreats employees, lowers property values, puts small businesses out of business, exploits factory workers over seas, fails to provide secure parking areas, pollutes the environment and picks up perks and subsidies all in the name of making a quick profit. In all fairness, Wal-Mart is not the only major organization guilty of the violations highlighted in this film, but it is certainly a grand example of a recent global trend of excessive greed in the name of fair-market value. This point is made quite clear near the beginning as the film centers on a series of shots of abandoned Main Streets, empty store after empty store, with Bruce Springsteen's version of "This Land Is Your Land." From there, it only gets worse. In China, a young factory employee talks about working conditions. "I'm sitting there, dripping with sweat all day long," she says. Employees in China say they are housed in dismal dormitories; they may choose to live elsewhere, but still have to pay the dorm rent. In a recent press release, when asked why he decided to make this film, Greenwald states, "A neighbor of mine, who had some health issues, was hired at Wal-Mart. As we were talking about it, I expressed my relief that he would now have health insurance. He replied that no, unfortunately the coverage offered at Wal-Mart was so expensive and had so many requirements; he couldn't afford it and might not qualify even if he could pay. He let me know that the really nice managers at the store had told him how to apply for state-subsidized health coverage available to low-income residents of California, paid for by tax dollars. Impossible, I thought. No way was a corporation the size of Wal-Mart using public programs for its employees, and so I started to research, read and investigate. The more I learned, the larger the scope of the Wal-Mart story became. And the bigger and more complex the story became, the more clear it was that the only way to tell this story was to go small, human and deeply personal." I agree with his tactics, and indeed found the movie to be human, deeply personal, and even downright disturbing at times. So much so, in fact, I will not even stop at Wal-Mart to browse, despite my natural inclination as a starving student to-go after bargains whenever possible.

"It's for the youth too," noted Bob Neal, exalted ruler of the Oceanside Elks Lodge, about the reasons behind why we celebrate Veterans Day. "They're the future, and why we do this."* City councilman, Rocky Chavez, former Marine Corps colonel, speaking on behalf of Oceanside Major Jim Wood, offered a brief speech commenting how "the best thing about Oceanside is our relationship with the military. Not just the Marine Corps, but all services. Veterans fight for freedom not just for our nation, but for all nations." Congressman Darrell Issa, a key speaker at the ceremony, highlighted the expanding benefits for veterans and focused on the leadership experience that the military gives service men and women. A former United See CELEBRATION, page 3 Successful Student See Features PAGE 4 States Army Captain, Issa credited his military experience as the foundation for his leadership capabilities.

The teddy bear delivery starts on Dec. 13 in Balboa Park where representatives from each participating police department will speak at a press conference about the results of the event. These officers will then take part in a motorcade from Balboa Park to Children's Hospital located in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego County. Since this is the season for multiple donation drives, and only our campus' second year of involvement, the Teddy Bear Drive could end up to be less publicized. "Students can get involved by getting the word out," said Panza, about ways that students can participate beyond just donating teddy bears. All donated bears must be in new condition; therefore, the drive cannot accept hand-me-downs as to comply with Children's Hospital's policies for infection control. Participants may also donate money, making checks payable to Children's Hospital. "It is with great respect and with a heavy heart," we pay respect, said Reyes about the tribute for those who served and those who've died. Veterans Day began in 1919 as Armistice Day attributing to the cease fire from World War L President Wilson proclaimed that Nov. 11 will be set aside to remember all of those who have served. President Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 in order to pay tribute to all veterans of all wars. A speech by President George G.W. Bush was read by Staff Sgt. Louis Caliendo. The speech urged all Americans to recognize Nov. 6 through Nov. 12 as "National Veterans Week" and called on Americans to participate in patriotic activities. Bush's speech, read by Caliendo, also paid tribute to those who are serving overseas at this time. The ceremony also recognized the 230th birthday of the Marine Corps.

President, Shelly Monroe, "there has never been an off-campus garage/bake sale done by any student organization. I felt it was important to get the community involved and recognize that Cal State has a Child Care facility while fundraising all in one. Our student organization is different because we deal with children and parents. Not many people know that Cal State offers childcare to students at a more reduced rate than all the surrounding centers. Getting the community involved will make this event successful." In-kind donations are needed for the garage sale that are in good condition like clothes, dishes, and small furniture. Pick-ups are available till Nov. 18. There are two drop-off locations on campus in the Student Life and Leadership Office Craven 4116, and the ASI Office located in the Commons Building. Volunteers are also needed to help price items on Nov. 18, and to set up, sell and sweep up on the day of the sale, Nov. 19. The ASI Early Learning Center is a childcare facility run by ASI that offers lower tuition to students and faculty of the university. It is offered to the community as well, but students and faculty have priority. Students benefit from the center because it allows them to go to school and have lower cost childcare to help them complete their degree. It offers childcare to ages 2-4 years old and offers CLASSIFIEDS a camp in the summertime when the university is closed. ASI Early Learning Center is a non-profit organization, which means it relies on the P. A.T. club to help fundraise for any extra items not in the budget. Last spring, P.A.T. members raised funds through events such as a fashion show where the young children were dressed up according to themes. However, funds and in-kind donations are still needed. One of the biggest expenses they are saving up for is a childcare van. Their wish list also includes: outside play equipment, shade equipment, bicycles, balls, and computers. Volunteers are always needed to help assist with the children, and act as drivers to and from the Center. For any information on this event, donations and/or volunteering, please contact: Shelly Monroe, Parent and Teacher president at monro011@csusm. edu or 760-481-8240. CELEBRATION, from page 1 to support, defend and serve our nation. "Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are all veterans," said Issa. "Politics end when our nation needs us. There are no political stripes in the service." Following Issa's speech, Assemblyman Mark Wyland, for the 74th District, shared some inspirational thoughts about his feelings toward the role Veterans have in securing our nation's freedom. "This country has more freedom, more hope, and more opportunity than any other in history," said Wyland. "We may be imperfect, but now we are trying to bring these freedoms to another part of the world." Lt. Colonel Brian Kerl, of the United States Marine Corps, captured much attention in the opening of his speech when he joked about how "others (Chavez and Issa) may have excused themselves" due to other engagements, however; "the Marines are still here!" His comment was well received with laughter and applause. Emphasizing and reporting on current active duty veteran efforts, Kerl detailed the training procedures implemented at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Photo courtesy of Robert L. Watson Mr. and Mrs. Watson in 1943, after his draft into the Navy. San Diego. "Our commitment to one another remains unquestionable," said Kerl. "We are proud to have served in difficult circumstances. And thank you for your service to this great nation." In an effort to help local youths develop a positive sense of patriotism, the Combined Veterans and Fraternal Organizations of North County sponsored an essay contest "to make them aware about what Veterans Day is, and why those wars were fought to maintain our nation's freedom," said retired Marine Corps Captain, Donald Greenlaw. Chosen winners were awarded at the end of the ceremony. Three winners were selected from each participating school, awarding first place writers with a $100 bond, and second and third place winners with $50 bonds each. Six school divisions participated in the contest including: Faith Lutheran, Martin Luther King Elementary, Roosevelt Middle, Oceanside High, El Camino High and one recipient f rom the homeschool division. "It was a good experience for everyone involved" mentioned Jeanne Evans, CVFO co-chairperson, who congratulated the students on their wonderful words of inspiration. Eight students were present at the ceremony and honored with a certificate of excellence. In closing remarks, Rev. Steve Chappell offered a prayer for departed veterans, encouraging all attendees to keep in mind the "memory of all military members who have given their lives for us all. May they rest in peace.

Have you ever watched late night television and sat mesmerized as people retell their get rich quick tricks? They promise to send you a six disc set with all their instructions so you can do it too! And if you act now, they will throw in a free solar powered pocket financial calculator; all for three easy payments of only $33.33, plus shipping of course. Ever walked through a store's magazine and newspaper racks? The Wall Street Journal, Baron's, Kiplinger's, Smart Money, Forbes, Financial Times, and then of course the personal finance articles in magazines like Mens' Health, Cosmopolitan, and the thousands of other monthly publications, all offer up their words of wisdom on the issue that hits home every time: money, dinero, cash, bread, dough, cake, moola, etc... People are hungry for the tidbits of information that will set us free and let us retire early in a small Italian villa. Unfortunately, college graduates tend to leave their institutions of higher learning with a degree in whatever, a mountain of debt, and no real knowledge of how to get out of the hole. We put our faith in walking with our class on graduation day and then walking into our new office the next week. After all, you posted your resume on Monster and this new job you know you are going to get will finally pay enough money for you to live comfortably, pay off all your debt, retire early, and live happily ever after, right? Maybe, but I would not count on it. A friend of mine, a very intelligent guy with a degree in business management emphasizing industrial psychology from the highly regarded Pepperdine University, looked for three months to find a job only to be offered a $32,000 a year job as a very low man on the corporate totem pole. With that, he could live in an apartment with at least one roommate, drive the same car he drove through college, and maybe be able to save a little money at the end of the month. Unfortunately, his student loan debt exceeds $30,000 and any leftover money goes right into paying that off. Do not count on a well paying job straight out of college. Do not rack up the student loan debt (not too much anyway), credit card debt, auto loan debt, home mortgage debt, and any other kind of debt while hoping to make $70,000 a year, when you finally escape the college classroom and go out into the "real world." Instead, start your personal finance education now and start planning today. This winter break, go to a bookstore and find a book (that you will need to read) on personal finance. This column will attempt to tackle a lot of the issues facing college kids today with their finances. We will discuss important topics such as your FICO score, how to consolidate and eliminate debt, how to make a big ticket purchase like a car or a home, and we will try to give you the basics, like creating a budget, how much credit one should have, which kind of credit cards to use, and how to make the most of the money you do have. Hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of your personal finances. 5 t í you mom Bothered 6y massive or 6y a änßCe death on the Sat ñon teCeviswn side ii^asigtt iiiittiiilB-m^ f'M w e've "seefdecmfwh ° lrea in WmS i ovfes so •, it's not as^monaL When if's onWmM of §e road, it:) becdKBmnme IBB ¡jjlpsh r eofcfic,* • . 1 1 it < 5 ,, - ^' ^ <' V fllllll fS"On wiliiiiiii i E .

SIMON Pride Staff Writer LTWR graduate Robert Woerheide walked in May of 04, but not before establishing an especially sleek and professional online art magazine "Perigee", as seen through www.perigee-art. com. Directly after graduating from high school in '96, Woerheide attended Virginia Tech as a physics major. He didn't stay long, however, before moving out to San Diego. A fter some time working retail, and some more resuming undergraduate credits at Mesa College, he came to CSUSM and all it had to offer an aspiring writer. During one of Woerhide's campus visits an ensuing debate imitated conversation and conversation in turn imitated interview as Pride set one wordsmith editor against another. What do you recall about the education you received here at that time, do any teachers stand out, any program you found especially good or bad? I think I had a really good experience with the LTWR department. Brandon Cesmat, he was instrumental in helping me to find my voice as a poet. I never considered myself a poet, but he guided me through the process. And certainly professor Susan Fellows was critical in my development as a writer, and she stood out in my experiences. Newman and Yuan as well. It seems you remember more the professors themselves rather than any kind of structure within the college, the teacher more than the class. Yeah, I think so. Yes. You said that you transferred from Science into Literature. Have you talked with other people who have made what seems like such a drastic change? No, not really. I always hear stories of people 'changing their majors' and that sort of thing. When I went, I wanted to study Astrophysics and the math just killed me. So, in my first semester, I switched over to English, so it was a quick thing. I had an opportunity to go to the University of Iowa, and I.. .sorta wish I had, maybe. It's certainly more of an English-oriented school but my experiences at Virginia Tech instilled the seed for the online magazine, Many students might be in a similar situation, pursuing something in the more tangible sciences, where the arithmetic might seem a real drudgery, do you think it's a mater of whether you're 'capable' or more a matter of...'compatibility'? And if you'd had more compatibility might it have put you on an entirely different path, might you have continued with writing but in a lesser capacity? I think I would have eventually gone back to English, to writing; it was my passion since I was 1314 years old. I got fired up about astrophysics, but I have a feeling I was meant to be a writer is some form, or an editor.4 Working with words'; I think I would have eventually swung back to that. <?bc.

So when people make the decision it should have more to do with the more driving passion rather than what comes easiest, necessarily? I would say, yes. Certainly speaking for myself, I'm a passionate person, so it would make sense that I would be driven more by passion. Some people are more driven by wanting a better life for their family which might lead them to more profitable endeavors than writing, but for me I'd definitely be inclined to follow my passion. That brings us to a larger, and hopefully deeper question, in the sense that often people in the arts, particularly in literature, are viewed as 'reclusive' or otherwise selfish people, and yet so often explain their work in terms of how it can help other people. Do you think it's difficult to reconcile these two? No, I don't think it's difficult to reconcile them. Art needs to be an intimate and often private 'act'. Yet, in the end, I think art achieves what it needs to achieve by being sent to a broader audience, by engaging with the world. h ttp://www.perigee-art.com See INTERVIEW, page 6 FIVE 39Days FIVE I f kff T a i l S BUY 1 MYSTIC TAN GET 1 FREE I Unliminted Level 1 f MYSTIC TANS o r j Premium Beds ULTRA TANS pif $ 2 5 j p#$3§ 1 p#l$49 G o fcrail CUM od SS G o for ai CUM od SS fealty! < « "stuti^wdfceuityf M ?

You're currently editing the online publication "Perigee", how did you get into that? FEATURES_ you respond to the idea that the problem isn't enough people reading, but too many self-identified 'readers' now feeling so self-conscious that they fancy themselves either destined or obliged to write, that "there aren't too few readers; there are too many writers."

At the same time it When you refer to literary provided a venue for voices that, like myself, weren't being heard magazines, paper or digital, because these massive literary these are publications that can't magazines consider so many usually pay for submissions, submissions that mine were just can't pay stipends or royalties, do you think that internet ending up in the slush pile. publishing adds to that probThat definitely leads to a lem, that it becomes so easy larger issue at hand now, where for someone to 'publish' that there's a lot of outcry, or at least it creates too much of a deluge, a lot of...self-pity, in terms of too thick of a forest to navigate how fewer and fewer people read through to reach the good writfor pleasure or personal enrich- ers? ment. There are many theories to explain this, but how would That's a legitimate concern. I think that's one of the benefits of the internet, though, that it's very democratic in that respect. If you can get your work published, more power to you. I think there's enough space to accommodate that at this point. I suppose we'll eventually see that chafe removed, the lesser works will fall by the wayside. As online publication develops word will spread as with anything else in life. It seems you're hoping for a natural process, that the hacks will lose interest, and yet so often we see that the big jobs in television and cinema are often going to the 'hacks'. How do you reconcile this? That's easy for me to answer: I think that in the modern world nice guys finish last, and I think it's a shame. I mean nice as in someone who has artistic integrity, who takes the long road. That's not to say that if you work for CNN you're a worthless human being, but in general I think the things that are rewarded in our modern system aren't necessarily conducive to good writing, to a sense of artistic integrity (not to use that term again). That's what I mean by nice guys finish last. In that respect, returning to education, how diverse the experiences and results are, do you think this has more to do with the system or the very =« Votum* lit tssu« Ii » Perigee'» Teaflh I*cue Oct/MoWOwcaMMI Ou» «te o* i «ndftfcokflreot W a* ht yu oiyd Ju e ta»«r ln ep pnmkm i * * o « e emy » og w.

Can you blame the system when the system is designed to serve the masses while the masses generally don't become good writers? I think there is definitely a level of personal responsibility, and with writers, with all artists in general, you're perhaps more likely to find people who aren't so concerned with publishing something to further a career as with simply writing a good sentence. And you'll find this in otherfieldsas well. Do you think there's anything to be done, whether in large classes or one on one, to 'make' good writers, and if not do you think maybe teachers should focus instead on making more voracious readers? I think both go hand in hand; you have to be a voracious reader to be a good writer. Don't you think, though, with regards to what you said earlier about too many writers... Yeah, if you have to pick one or the other, pick reading, we need more readers, then maybe, once they've read a heck of a lot, maybe they can become good writers, but in the meantime definitely pick reading.

But in terms of how to discern between worthy and unworthy submissions? Online publications are still fairly new, so I've simply had to do what makes sense to me and to the other editors. We have to trust our own sense for that but also have to be objective at the same time. In that sense we don't really have much in terms of 'models' to go off of, we're really just kind of doing what makes sense from an artistic standpoint. Being able to use your own taste and standards is something that a lot of people in the publishing and entertainment industry have as the highest goal Do you think that's a luxury that only obscure or independent publishers can afford, or is it a model that maybe the bigger distributors should follow more often? printing costs, that there will be so many independent publishers that writing will become a hobby simply because there is literally NO money to be made? Or is there a model or mission statement that the literati in all stations and fields could encourage to make writing a more lucrative pursuit? Tuesday, November 15, 2005 Perhaps. I think that's a legitimate concern, monetary concerns are part of the world, and they can be beneficial to the artistic process, and perhaps those that can't afford to be publishing shouldn't be publishing. That said, it is hard to break into the system if you don't have an empire behind you, but you can have a good magazine with no money, of course there's just a greater risk it's going to fail. be better off skipping through all that and teaching themselves?

They don't know if they are a good or bad team. Do bad teams lose the close games or do good teams stay in contention until the last minute of the game. I guess it depends if you are a half full or half empty kind of person. Lucky for you Chargers fans, I am a half full kind of guy. If you play Monday morning quarterback like me, then you realize that the Chargers should be undefeated at this point, but they're actually 5-4. With those four losses coming by a total of 12 points, the Chargers have made their route to the playoffs much tougher. I think it is going to take 10 wins to make the playoffs, which mean the Chargers need to win five out of the final seven games. As hard as that may sound, I see it happening. The next game is against the Bills at home. That is win number six, because the Bills really only have one offensive threat in Willis McGahee, their running back, and the Chargers are superb at stopping the run. The following week the Chargers travel to Washington to take on the Redskins. I think that game is a toss up against a much improved Redskins team, but since it is in Washington I will give it to the Redskins. After the Redskins, the Raiders come to town for a Sunday Night Football match-up. The Chargers will easily take that game for win number seven, because the Raiders couldn't stop most Pop Warner teams from scoring.

Secondly, Drew Brees needs to call some audibles at the line. Since Marty Schottenheimer and Cameron are more conservative than President Bush, Brees needs to offset his coaches by calling his own plays at the line. Finally, the Chargers need LT to touch the ball at least 25 times per game. I don't care if LT runs the ball, is thrown to, passes it, or kicks it; he is going to find a way to get into the end zone. If those three things don't happen over the next seven games, then the Chargers will be sitting at home watching the Colts and Panthers work their way to the super bowl.

I was unable to attend this year, but last year I was able to hear Carol Leigh (Sluts Unite speaker) and I learned a great deal about many issues surrounding sex workers and I was in no way as you suggested influenced to become one myself. Second, just to clarify, ASI money is not state money it is student fee money. ASI events are not Visit 1 11 Pride online a t funded by tax dollars, or the public as, you had claimed in your article. Lastly, why the influence of censorship, just because the issue is not your own personal favorite? Do you really mean for ASI to censor speakers simply because they are controversial? We are in college! Why are students not encouraged and given the credibility to think critically and make decisions for themselves by being actively engaged in ALL sorts of classes, topics, conversations, and events? Do you really think that women are going to "engage in random sexual acts" because of a speaker? Carol Leigh does not share her experience to influence students to become sex workers. Had you attended the event you may have had these facts. I find your lack of faith in students and especially women (since that is where most of your comments were directed) very disheartening. When our constitutional right to freedom of speech has been in jeopardy several times the last few years, such as the attempted censorship of Michael Moore and the fight against Senator Morrow's SB5, I would hope that students would defend their right to academic freedom and encourage each other to critically think about issues. This does not mean agree or disagree with them but to have the freedom , to make that choice on their own! Sometimes when we step outside our own comfort box, we learn the most. I recommend this sort of engagement to your opposition suggesting that you have all the answers.

Congressman Duncan's wet cement dream reminds me of another current event involving a city in Texas. On Tuesday, the folks of White Settlement, Texas, voted not to rename the city to West Settlement, Texas. Opponents of the proposed name-swap charged that proponents were attempting to "discard" the city's "heritage". Apparently, the White Settlement area was founded by, get this, m ^ 310 mo • • west for that matter), and I'm opposed to Mr. Duncan's plan, I would consider gathering signatures for a name-swap initiative in an area of California that was originally settled by folks from Mexico. I would reference the residents of White Settlement, and argue that city names that merely reflect an area's history are cool. And then we'd have Brown Settlement, CA. While such a move would not have much of an effect on a proposed or completed border fence, it'd probably be a nice way to stick it to Congressman Duncan. n The UPS Store « liswrfawswesferietitel^CSUSBassrt * : - - -- • — -- - Let us sign for and hold your ma il m Shipping Services - Packaging Services - Postal Services ~ Freight Services Wfeiibox Services - Copy Serpees - Fax Services - Shipping, Packaging, Mowing Supplies - Office Supplies - Rrirting Services - Notary Services Color Copies B/W Copies 490 m ore i nfoi birthchoice.net ALL SERVICES m white settlers who, by my guess, had a flair for the creative.

Texas Hold'Em is the latest craze in poker, especially on college campuses, due to the popularity of TV shows covering poker tournaments, like the World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker. In Texas Hold'Em, each player is dealt two cards face down, which is followed by the first round of betting. A fter the dealer "burns" a card, a "flop" of three cards is turned face up on the table. The dealer then reveal the fourth andfifthcards known as the " turn" and the "river", with a round of betting and folding in between each.

According to a press release, Stone CEO Greg Koch said, "Stone fans will find the quality and character of our menu to match that of our beers, and for those that are not fully up to speed on just what that means, it means that people can expect to find a lot of quality and a lot of character." Koch says this will be reflected in a menu that will lean heavily towards items that are locally fresh and naturally raised, tossed liberally with spices, unique sauces and influences from around the world. Stone Brewing Co. was started in 1996 by two beer lovers, Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. The two met up after a class at UC Davis entitled "Sensory Evaluation of Beer." They found out that they had similar ideas in brewing and both shared the same passion for beer. After keeping in touch for a few years and brainstorming ideas for opening their own brewery, they made it a reality. The San Diego Union Tribune said "Calling Koch and Wagner beer experts may be an understatement." With the incredible success the brewery has had in the past nine years, this statement is undoubtedly true. While the new brewery is being built, tours and beer tasting are Images courtesy ofwww.stonebrew.com available at the San Marcos locaruns from the restaurant through a glass wall and into the beer garden outside.

And, it's what I want to be, the first woman president, it embodies who I am," said Liberty. She has two main sources of inspirationr the inequalities she sees in the world and other artists that she respects. Her biggest musical influences are Missy Elliot and Nas. She is inspired by Missy Elliot because "She helps new artists. The media shunned her because of her weight, but she went against that. It's what I want to do. I'm not perfect, I'm not what society sees as beautiful, but I'm happy and I wouldn't change a thing," said Liberty. She respects Nas because he stays true to himself and his fans. "He doesn't have to sell out to gain a great audience. He's unique and I admire that. He hasn't gone down to anyone else's level; they all try to rise to his. He's on top of his game," said Liberty.

These are the only reported cases — there have been no confirmed reports of rape. Chief of Police, Aaron Woodard, has confirmed that the first sexual battery incident reported occurred on the night of Oct. 20 when a 19year-old male approached a 16year-old female, while at University Village. "Through our investigation of this case we received word of the second incident that occurred approximately three weeks prior to the first, which involved the same 19-year-old male," said Woodard. According to Woodard and Lt. Douglass Miller, they have a strong lead in the case as to who the suspect is. He is not a student at CSUSM, and currently he is classified as a strong suspect in this matter. Currently, this case is in the hands of the District Attorney's Office for further investigation.

XIV NO. 11 The Board of Trustees of the California State University adopted and approved a 2006-2007 budget request and fee increase proposal on Oct. 27, 2005. The State University Fee for undergraduate and credential students will be increased by eight percent, and will increase by ten percent for graduate students, according to the California State University web site. The web site also states that revenue from the student fee increase will be $107 million. Thirty-three percent of the revenue will be used to provide $32.7 million in additional funds for the State University Grant financial aid program, providing financial aid access to 5,100 additional students. The revenue from the budget request and fee increase will also be used to fund increases in health benefits, new space, service-based salary increases for certain employee groups, and higher energy costs. The current 2005-2006 annual State University Fee is $2,520 combined with the average campus-based fees totaling $664, makes the CSU average for tuition a total of $3,164 for undergraduates. A link to the Finance Committee Agenda/Student Fee Schedule is provided on the CSU web site for a detailed 2006-2007 fee schedule.

LONG Pride Staff Writer The recently formedBuddhist Club will have its first meeting next Monday. The club Shin Yatomi will host a guest speaker Shin Yatomi, managing editor of Living Buddhism magazine, on Nov. 14, from 7 to 8:30pm in ACD 102. SGI stands for Soka Gakkai S PEAKER, from page 1 The event will be hosted on Tuesday Nov. 15 at the Clarke Field House, room 113, from 11:30-12:30 p.m. With the support of ASI, pizza and refreshments will be available for all participants. Dr. Cyrus Masroori, advisor of Model United Nations Club, highlighted that Sorensen will be focusing on "The United Nations and Challenges of the 21st Century" and she'll be pre- International which translates to: create value. "We believe each person has Buddha in them," said Eiko Okita, club treasurer. "By praying, people can reach Buddha in nature." Okita went on to explain that Buddhism believes in cause and effect, "Whatever you cause, you get the effect." The club's goal is to introduce Buddhism to the campus. Buddhism has multiple sects and the SGI club follows the Nichiren Daishonin (NSIC). "SGI is a Buddhist association with more than 12 million members in 190 countries and territories worldwide," Said Frank Rojas, SGI Buddhist Club president. "This Buddhism aims to awaken people to the limitless potential and value of their own lives. Buddhist philosophy and practice bring about a positive transformation in the depths of life, transforming fear into courage, deluded impulses into wisdom, and egotism to compassiori." "We believe people are responsible for their own life and they can change their life," said LouAnn Berg, the SGI local office community relations coordinator. The local office for SGI is located in San Marcos and can be found on the Web site for SGI at < http://www.sgi-usa.org/cgibin/locator.cgi>. "In India the word Buddha was originally a common noun meaning "awakened one," but in Buddhism it is used to mean one who has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life. In Hinayana the word means one who has entered the state of nirvana, in which both body and mind are extinguished." http://www.sgi-usa.org/ "Our members reflect a cross section of our diverse American society, representing a broad range of ethnic and social back-. grounds," reads the SGI web site. "I cannot tell you how much a complete turn-around its done on my life, helping me achieve my dreams my educational goalsGPA, relationship, finances, and overall happiness," said Rojas about Buddhism. The club started its recognition process on campus in September and became official in October. This will be the first meeting for the club. The event will serve snacks and beverages. For more information contact the local office at 760.591.9738 or email Frank Rojas at <frankienj @yahoo.com>. pared to field any questions or inquiries students, faculty or staff may have about U N. policies or positions in international relations. "I hope students take advantage of this event," said Masroori. "Students have good questions about the United Nations. I cannot think of many people with more direct information about the United Nations than Ms. Sorensen. Events like this are not easy to. organize. The Model United Nations at CSUSM has worked hard to make this possible. In part, by organizing this event we want to thank the university, and particularly the students, for supporting student organizations like ours. We hope that students' participation in this event give us incentive to work even harder to contribute to our university by bringing more speakers in the f uture." This event is made possible through CSUSM's Model United Nations Club, the Department of Political Science, the U.N. Foundation and ASI. The event is free-of-charge and expected to be a "fortunate" experience for all who attend, according to Masroori. "The United Nations has played an important part in bringing peace and security, humanitarian relief, health and education to people around the world. Probably because of the magnitude of its missions, it has also been subject to criticism," Masroori explained. "A good example is the way that the U.N. has dealt with the situation in Iraq since early 1990's. Students have questions about the U.N., its usefulness, and its problems (e.g. oil for food program). Here is a great opportunity to learn more about the organization and ask questions aboutit."

We want to support that tradition," said Elizabeth Sheets, ASI's director of social programming. She went on to express how great veterans are. Currently, John Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services, has been filling the role of coordinator for the Veterans Club until Corkie's replacement is found. The color guard will be hosted by students currently enrolled at Cal State San Marcos in the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP). The program allows active duty enlisted Marines to attend college while on active duty in order td complete their college education and become officers. The color guard consists of Staff Sgt. Kevin Penn, Staff Sgt. Mike Holt, Sgt. Ben Carter, and Sgt. Nathan Loomis. The event is being organized by Gunnery Sgt. Dennis Herold. "We want to pay tribute, not just to veterans, but to their families as well," said Herold. Segoria has estimated that there are nearly 400 veterans and dependents of veterans attending Cal State San Marcos.

Sowa, who was part of the band "Travesty," placed three of their songs on the album. Sowa describes the other featured artists as friends and the CD itself as a compilation of San Diego artists and a representation of San Diego's culture, along with his own. " But" said Sowa, "there is much more that did not make it on the CD." Before becoming a Cougar, Sowa attended SDSU for three years, followed by classes at both San Diego City College and Mesa College. He is currently in his second semester as a Communications major here at CSUSM, where he appreciates having a lot of the same people in his classes, all the technological resources, and always being able to find a parking spot. When asked about the first time he began playing guitar, Sowa said he was about ten years old and that he enjoyed playing his favorite songs and playing for friends. Currently, Sowa is in a nameless threepiece. He met Nick, who plays guitar and bass for the new band, at the SDSU dorms in 1998. The drummer, Jasha, arrived through Ed Barrena, Sowa's roommate. "(We were) stoked about creating music and (to) move forward with being a group," said Sowa. Bradley Nowell of Sublime and Bob Marley hold high places in Sowa's music hall of fame, but despite their excessive popularity here, Sowa says that it was great being in Souhern California because of the "diversity of music." Sowa recalls the first year he was in the dorms, when some friends played the guitar, and it united them. Later on, according to Sowa, a guitar "showed up" at his house and he began to play. "It's a cool privilege to reprodupe your favorite songs and play them whenever you want." When asked if he liked where his future was headed, Sowa said he is content but wishes he could play more often. "It's hard when you love something and can't give enough time to it. It's frustrating." When asked If the music industry was challenging Sowa offered this bit of advice: "Yes, but (the longer you hold o ff) the pressure to sign to record, the more you are independent. When you sign they own your music." He went on to explain that independent musicians need to network, make and hand outflyers,and promote themselves. "Just spread the word, and spread the music... when you put it down it doesn't get out."

In a speech at the National Institute of Health, Bush explained his plan for education and prevention, and treatment in the event of an outbreak of Avian Flu. United Nations officials are warning that the newest outbreak of avian flu, identified as H5N1, could lead to a pandemic killing upwards of 150 million people. However, according to comments made to the BBC News on line edition, World Health Organization spokesman Dick Thompson said the death toll would be between two million and 7.4 million. According to Mr. Thompson, "There is obvious confusion, and I think that has to be straightened out." A pandemic is an epidemic which affects large portions of the global population. Other worldwide pandemics, also mutated from avian flu, include the Asian flu, which killed about four million people in 1957, and the Hong Kong flu, which killed about one million people in 1968. Swine flu, another virus which can be transferred from animals to humans, is responsible for the deaths of over 30 people in China so far this year. Unlike the avian flu, which can be contracted by merely coming into contact with infected birds, according to the Calgary Herald, swine flu is "contracted by slaughtering, handling, or eating infected pigs." Although there is confusion among experts as to how many deaths would result from a pandemic, there is no confusion about the source of the virus. Scientists have determined that the flu virus that killed 50 million people worldwide in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic is similar to the avian, or bird flu which has killed over 60 people in Asia, primarily Vietnam, since 1997. Avian flu is spread by migrating birds which infect domestic flocks of chickens and turkeys. Jeffrey Taubenberger, from the U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, reported that the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak can be traced to an "avian-like virus that adapted to humans." Researchers have replicated the virus grown from samples of tissue from victims of the Spanish flu. Pharmaceutical companies, like Roche, have begun to develop vaccines for that specific virus, although a vaccine may be several months away. In order to contract avian flu, a person must be simultaneously infected with the avian strain and the human strain of influenza. At that point of contagion, the virus can mutate and then spread by human-to-human contact. While thefluvirus seems to strike primarily healthy, middleaged people between the ages of 18 and 34, scientists believe that some elderly people may have some immunity to the virus if they were exposed to it in 1918. Although experts differ about the number of fatalities, they all agree that it is not a matter if the virus mutates and begins to spread among the human population, but when. Infected birds are being slaughtered throughout Asia and Europe, and several areas in Turkey and Romania have implemented quarantine strategies, including limiting travel in and out of cities that have reported avian flu. According to the October 16 issue of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Poland has "banned the sale of live birds at open-air markets and ordered farmers to keep poultry in closed quarters..." While national health organizations are scrambling to develop and implement strategies forfightingthis threat, there are currently no plans to regulate travel. During the SARS epidemic in 2003, travelers coming in ajid out of Asia were screened for the virus. Travelers exhibiting signs of fever or respiratory distress were not allowed to fly. In a report in the Journal of Infection, A.G. Gupta evaluated the efficacy of quarantine during the SARS outbreak. He reported, "Our results indicate that quarantine is effective in containing newly emerging infectious diseases, and also cost saving when compared to not implementing a widespread containment mechanism." And, he concluded, "Despite somewhat daunting initial costs, quarantine saves both lives and money." The United States Department of Health and Human Services issued a Draft Pandemic Influenza Response and Preparedness Plan on August 26, 2004. In the press release which accompanied the Plan, then-HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson said, "This plan will serve as our roadmap on how we as a nation, and as a member of the global health community, respond to the next pandemic influenza out break, whenever that may be." According to the Pandemic Plan, the spread of SARS, and other infectious influenzas in the past, was greatly reduced by quarantining infectious people, as well as closing off uninfected areas to travel. The difficulty with quarantine in the current epidemic is that the incubation time for this specific virus is up to 14 days, which means that apparently healthy, yet contagious, people will be able to travel. While the U.S. government has a detailed plan in place to manage the spread of avian flu, its success depends greatly on public cooperation. The Pandemic Influenza Plan and more information can be found on the government web site at www. pandemicflu.gov. New vaccines must be developed each year because the strain changes. Flu season runs between October and March, and the best time to be vaccinated is October or November. December, however, is not too late. The shot can take up to two weeks to become effective. Last season'sfluvaccine shortage caused long lines and generated panic. There are no shortages being reported so far this year, and people are being encouraged to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Most insurance companies don't cover the cost, which can be anywhere from $10 to $35. The Flu Mist vaccine, which contains the live flu virus, is available for about $35 in limited areas to healthy people between the ages offiveand 49. Although no vaccine exists yet tofightthe avianflustrain of influenza, there are precautions that people can take to protect themselves and others from becoming sick. For example, focus on regular exercise and good nutrition; a healthy body has better immunity. Wash hands frequently, and if you become ill, stay home to avoid infecting others. Get a flu shot; even if it's not for the avian flu strain, the shot will prevent you from catching this year's strain and prevent a weakened immune system. If you catch the flu in spite of these precautions, there are medications which can shorten the duration of the flu. Tamiflu, the brand name of the anti-viral medication amantadine, must be prescribed by a doctor within 48 hours of the onset of thè flu.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Last week, when I might have simply made myself festively sick on candy and rubber, fortune's gourd decided to smile upon me. In reality she was smiling primarily on my friend, but I caught her eerie glow by proxy. You see, this dear friend of mine, a moderate authority on a number of things oft-associated with Halloween, was again called upon by a former Palomar College professor to serve as a timely guest speaker. Although this professor now lectures at Case Western University in Cleveland, she was able to treat out some private funds to provide travel and boarding fees for both himself and a guest-assistant. It's hard enough to afford rent within San Diego, much less pleasure travel from it, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity.

Did this atmosphere, or the details of a more private institution make the students seem any brighter? Not especially, but as we arrived with little time to spare, we had to attend to their patience and good humor for what must have seemed a somewhat haphazard presentation. All in all, like most classes, there were a handful who strived to get their money's worth while the rest fancied they were waiting to punch their own time clock. When I think about the class time I missed for this rare opportunity, my only regret is that I didn't do some of the work ahead of time, unaccustomed as I am to missing class time, and unaccustomed as I am to doing any more class work than necessary. I wonder now, if this more overt taste of travel, mixing business with pleasure, will affect the remainder of my time at this local school, among so much local lack of color. Rather than look for irony or steeled justification in my near-graduate restlessness, I think I'll thankfully trick myself into further blurring the lines between taking holiday, and reporting abroad.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer In the interest of everyone at CSUSM, the Pride has brought together two interviews, one conducted last semester directly with professor Susan Fellows of the LTWR department, the other by recent email to Professor Marshall Whittlesey of Mathematics. Here they both respond to questions regarding grade inflation, an issue equally pertinent to all sides of the report card. Hopefully, through comparing answers given by educators in such contrastedfields,readers will gain both insight and foresight into their college experience. S. Fellows: Do we have the same concept of what grade inflation equates to, that of lowering academic standards concerning what earns one grade over another? Yeah, absolutely. One theory circulating is that9 in the United States, this became truly epidemic during the Vietnam War where professors lowered standards to save students from the draft. Is that accurate? I don't know if that's the reason, but it certainly happened that it was what's known as the 'great dumbing down.' Classes that were formerly taught weren't taught because they were no longer 'relevant'. That's when you began to get a slippage of realrigorousacademic thinking. And I saw it a lot in what was being produced in the colleges at that time. The late 60s, early 70s? I'd say more in the early 70s. And I'm not aware of it being part of the draft, it could very well be. I certainly would do that. Hypothetically, "if" it's happening here, would it be something that would be formally practiced by the professors practice of their own volition, or would it be something encouraged directly by the administrators? I'm seeing now with incoming freshman is that they are-not-educated-to-the-levelthey-should-be to go to die university. We have too much remediation, and one semester cannot undo 7th through 12th very poor education. I have a lot of students who've never read a book. What effects do you see beyond the classroom? Well, I think the administrative level of speaking about it is: 'we will not have grade inflation, graderigorously'BUT were supposed to graduate people on time, and we're supposed to get them through our classes expeditiously. Students are paying a lot of money for the classes, taking out loans, so it seems a subtext where you want to give them as much the advantage of the doubt as possible. If they're really doing failing work, they don't pass the class. But on the other hand if they're doing ' C' work and need a ' B' to get into graduate school, well, I don't care, nobody seems to be saying anything. So the unspoken thing is 'just get help them through, because they've had such a lousy high school education, and they're so unaware, so just help them get through and maybe they can learn something at some other point. But I think it's VERY uneven among the professors. It's much more difficult in the humanities because things are more abstract and subjective, it's much easier to berigorouswith the sciences. One theory circulating is that, in the United States, this became truly epidemic during the Vietnam War where professors lowered standards to save students from the draft. Is that accurate? Businesses are complaining a lot that new hires don't know how to write, they don't know how to think, they just want to go through the motions. We're not going to come up with new paradigms if we don't understand how to take elements in a historical process. We are going to suffer as a country if we don't know how to take a risk in thinking. And if you look at China and India, they're way ahead of us. If you just pick up "The Economist" you'll see we're in their debt financially and now intellectually as well. What do you think we can do to counteract this? I have a theory that we need to blow up the entire school system and start over, because the people already in the middle of it are lost. Unless you've been lucky How do you respond to the speculation that grade inflation, as it exists now, is a means of keeping enrollment numbers up, or at least maintained? e nough t o c ome from a background with really good educational access, the California school systems is in a freefall. Blowing it up is really radical, but I honestly don't know at this point. And it's not that we don't have good teachers, but we don't pay teachers enough to encourage them to go into education. I don't know, that would imply some kind of conspiracy theory, I don't know. I just know that the UC, CSU, community colleges are paid by the number of students sitting in the classrooms. I would hate to think that.. .but it may be. M. Whittlesey: At the school now there are no administrators officially encouraging it, but it's indirect? Do we have the same concept of what grade inflation equates to, that of lowering academic standards concerning what earns one grade over another? Exactly. What are some of the effects you're seeing now? I think our concept is basically the same. But the exact scale would not matter so much, if only grades distinguished Well I'm really worried, because what E gg Donors Needed people. Part of the problem is that when grade inflation happens, more people are getting the same kinds of grades (A and B, usually). If everybody is getting A and B, how do people (e.g., employers) determine which students are better than others? Maybe the problem of grade inflation is more one of selective inflation: some grades get raised (B,C, etc.) but you can't make A any higher than it is already. raordlnarywconceptions Building Families, Inc.

Well, it depends on what you mean by 'own volition'. Every professor is evaluated by students at the end of the semester and works with the knowledge that those evaluations might affect his or her career. And every professor knows that students with higher grades are happier students, and happier students usually give better evaluations. If a Help Make Dreams Come True and Earn $5y000 anil Up Visit us at www.buildingfamiliesinc.com Call Jacki But I think the effect of that historical event is minimal today. There are plenty of other current trends to explain what's going on. More people are going to college expecting to pass; there are political pressures in that. Higher education is big business; institutions are expected to grow. The state gives us admission targets, so we admit students to reach those. Are we supposed to expect that graduation rates will remain the same? If so, that can result in grade inflation. Also, the rise of student evaluations in the 1960s made it a lot tougher to be hard on students - if your career depends on what students say about you, you're probably going to go easier on them.

I don't know any in the sciences who give higher grades just because they felt like it. (I really know little about grading outside the sciences.) But we all do have a general sense that failure rates shouldn't be too high. I can't say I have felt any pressure from above, however - and I give lot of low grades. It would be rare if an administrator encouraged this 'directly'. For the record, student evaluations are mandated by the collective bargaining agreement between the faculty and the state of California. How they are used exactly is determined by local promotion and tenure committees, and administrators. Have you ever worked for, or seen a school where grade inflation was happening? Could you describe what you've seen as, or what would see as inconsistencies in academic standards? e lect, i t's r easonable t o e xpect standards will come down. Also, nowadays people are a lot more likely to expect/demand that college should be an enjoyable experience - more so than fifty years ago. If college is a Iü| Different departments have different grading cultures. Some give a lot of low grades and others do not. Some of the future implications? What effects do you see beyond the classroom? The real problem with grade inflation is that grades cease to become meaningful to people who look at transcripts. If employers hire one of our graduates with lots of good grades and they cannot do basic things, we have a credibility problem. Future effects: more employers not taking B A degrees seriously, and more people going to graduate programs because their college transcript isn't meaningful enough. Colleges need to decide what the purpose of grading is. Are we trying to provide a system whereby students' talent can be distinguished? Is a class where everybody gets A or B meaningful? What do you think can be done to counteract grade inflation, and or the 30 if I'm fear of it? (1) I think the current minimum GPA's for graduation are too high. Title V of the state education regulations require that every students graduate with a GPA of at least 2.0 overall and in their major. What does this accomplish? It's just a pie-in-the-sky Lake Wobegon ' we're all above average' ideal that we can't possibly reach. If the min GPA were 1.0, would our graduates be any different? I doubt it. Grades given might be lower, but it wouldn't reflect less learning, just a different grading scale, and would be more meaningful to employers. (2) If faculty felt assured that their careers would not be jeopardized (via student evaluations) by giving bad grades, that would make a difference. (3) We need to return dignity to the grade of C. Nowadays, it's often the lowest possible grade to get by to something else, and most people regard it as a bad grade. (4) Students and the public at large need to be made aware of the effects of grade inflation: that their degrees are taken less seriously. Whether perceived as a mixed blessing, or slow poison, surely there are few students and fewer educators, entirely willing to dismiss grade inflation as a bureaucratic phantom. The Pride sincerely hopes to investigate this matter further with the help of both students, staff and the administration.

I don't have any study to back that up, though. TWIN OAKS CLEANERS i^í^ift^Nt^ lil What Well, enrollment is probably a factor. We're in this business to make a living, after all. I think it is not as much of a factor here as it is elsewhere, however. My reasons for saying so are (1) when a student fails a class, it's not as much of a financial calamity as it is at private institutions. Students know they can take the course again for a modest fee. I fail far more students here than the private institution I once worked at. There, failing students results in lots of angry parents who spent tens of thousands of dollars on their kid and they will complain. (2) California, Cal State and North County in particular are growing so fast that we don't seem to have too much trouble finding students to come here. (3) If we lose enrollment to community colleges because we grade too hard, the state isn't as likely to give us a hard time about it, because the community colleges cost the state less money. This is a big factor. In the last few decades many more people have started going to college who in past generations would not have. I fcollegiate education is to be for the masses instead of for the Perhaps I could rephrase your question: have I ever worked at a school where students got C's in classes where their grade did not represent meaningful mastery of the material in the course? Absolutely. The Pride student newspaper competitive place where lots of people get C's and A's are hard to get, it's probably not going to be much fun. What of more macrocosmic theories, that political forces are encouraging a 'dumbing down9 of students? That's hard to answer yes or no, mainly because it's hard to tell if one is being consistent from semester to semester in grading rigor. I don't give the same exams semester to semester, so I can't compare students exactly. www.esusm.edui How do you respond to the speculation that grade inflation, as it exists now, is a means of keeping enrollment numbers up, or at least maintained?

CA 92078 �8 F EATURES Tuesday, November 8, 2005 THE PRIDE University Village expansion BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer In Spring of2006, there will be a market study conducted, which will determine when new residential hall apartments will be coming to Cal State San Marcos. This study will look at University needs, student expectations, affordability, building costs, and student and University needs. Cal State San Marcos will be working with a marketing consulting firm who will interview students, study surrounding rental markets, look at the future of enrollment, the cost of construction and evaluate when they might be able to afford to build a project that will have full occupancy, when they open the residential hall apartments. University Village Director, Brian Dawson says, "The campus has planned for multiple stages of housing to be built with the goal of housing between seven to ten percent of the student population. We currently house only four percent of students with 468 beds. The University is looking at constructing a parking deck and housing to be built for 20102011, if the market study shows this demand." During the next ten years, Cal State San Marcos expects to add more housing next to the existing University Village, and plans to develop a new location just to the southeast of the existing faculty/staff parking lot. Currently, University Village housing costs are set to increase three percent per year annually to cover the increased expenses of utilities, staffing and maintenance. Depending on what the university builds next, the cost may be more or less depending on the demand and construction costs. The university wants to provide excellent services where a student can succeed in school. With the market study, the university will see what services students want and need, the cost of building and managing and how much students are willing to pay for these services. "What it means for students, is more access to Cal State San Marcos. Some college students consider only those colleges where they can be assured of having on-campus housing. More live-on campus opportunities for freshman and depending upon demand and enrollment growth, possibly more space for students who want to live on campus more than one or two years," mentioned Marti Gray, executive director of D O YOU KNOW HOW TO U SE...

I really have tried. A fter I've turned the game on I've taped my eyelids to my eyebrows, thrown away the remote control, and tied myself to a chair. However, the T.V. somehow finds its way to a basketball or football game. I thought that after the short hiatus I would have been more interested. I watch the occasional period or two of the Kings game whenever I pass by Fox Sports Net. Now that the Outdoor Life Network is carrying NHL games, the sport is no longer on my radar. I mean, I don't even know what channel OLN is on. I do like the rule changes that the NHL has adopted, such as shoot outs if there is no winner after overtime, and the limitation on goalie equipment. However, the sport just doesn't interest me, and no, it's not because I can't skate more than two feet without falling down and catching frostbite. I think Comedian Alonzo Bodden said it best when he claimed it's hard to like a sport where the darkest thing on the ice is the puck that everyone is trying to smack. There is truth behind all humor and Alonzo brings up the point of diversity. Several months ago I was at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood for a taping of the "Best Damn Sports Show Period". Alonzo was one of the comedians on the show, and after his set I had a conversation with him about this subject. I came to the realization why Hockey hasn't peaked my interest to this point in my life. I can't identify with any of the hockey players. Off the top of my head I don't know of any Latin hockey players. Please, if you know of one, bring it to my attention. Also, without doing research, the only African-American hockey player I know of is Donald Brashear. Once again, if you know of others then drop me an E-mail. It's widely known that in the hood or barrio there are more basketball courts and baseball fields than ice rinks, which explains why there are so few great Caucasians in the NBA, and hardly any great African-Americans and Latinos in the NHL. Why is this accepted? Is this just another form of segregation? I know all of you don't want to hear this, especially those of you who complain that I don't write enough about sports, but it's something that's on my mind. I mean I haven't even been to a hockey games and sports consume a large portion of my life. I want to like hockey, but in order for things to change, the sport is going to need a Tiger Woods. Look what happened to the game of golf when Tiger began having success. AfricanAmericans all of a sudden hit the links in unison. The same can happen in hockey. Don't act like this is Calculus. It is really quite simple. When you see someone doing something positive, and they look like you, it helps you realize that you can do what they are doing. I don't know when the Tiger of the NHL will roar, but I am sure I won't have to tie myself to a chair to watch. If you have any praise (haha, who am I kidding?), topic suggestions, questions, comments (No, I am not going to stop talking about serious issues), or concerns then send an E-mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride Part 1: H ow much c ould s uch g ripe about p aying t axes f or an event work to further the intellectual endeavor at CSUSM? In my eyes, college ought to be a place where people are inspired to answer critical questions and forge meaningful ideas. It's difficult for me to prioritize the need to determine whether or not folks have a right to sell meaningless sex to strangers. I guess I just expect students to act more like Socrates, and less like Jerry Springer. Part 2: Would Joe/Sally Taxpayer be likely to agree to appropriate his/her tax dollars to the state so that an institution could host events for sex-worker advocates? Many taxpayers already things that help everyone. Furthermore, I think that some people simply take for granted the fact that public institutions are in large part financed by the public. Such a fact ought to compel those in charge of our funds to show an interest in being accountable to taxpayers. Part 3: Would you reveal to your younger sister that you organized/hosted an event for a sex-worker advocate? Call me a softie, but I care very much about the sort of America that my younger sister grows up in. It seems as though there is already plenty of pressure/influence on younger woman these days to engage in random sexual acts. I can't imagine one trying to explain to his/her younger sister why he/she organized/hosted an event for people that don't seem to care about such an influence. So for the foregoing reasons, your political commentator feels disappointed that his student government would host such an event. And sitting here in Kellogg Library, I'm looking at my fellow scholars and wondering if they too feel disappointed. If you folks do, then I might consider that to be evidence that the political climate here on campus is a healthy one. If you folks do not, then I'm probably just an elitist, uptight, fraud of a liberal.

The solo performance on Wednesday Nov. 2, 2005, was scheduled before the band's set later that night at The Casbah. The crowd waited, as 8 o'clock turned to 8:15. Finally around 8:30, a black oldschool Chevy pulled up to the curb. Local resident and musician Jimmy LaVelle, the brain child behind "The Album Leaf," stepped out of the car with non other than Andrew Kenny himself. They pushed through the crowd and towards the back of the store, short-stack amp in hand, with a fellow band member carrying his guitar. After Kenny spent a short time setting up, the music in the store came to a halt as the needle was lifted from the record player with an abrupt scratch. "Testing," said Kenny, then with a couple of taps on the microphone, he introduced himself in a saccharine way. Jumping right into the songs, Kenny started with "Jr," a soft blend of guitar and Kenny's easy voice. He immediately thanked the crowd for applauding after the end of thefirstsong, noting something about San Diego's weather. For the next song, Kenny played "Immaculate Heart 1," which was a little more upbeat than the first. The song, off of the new album "Set Free," was different Photo by Bryan Mason / The Pride to hear without the full band, but Kenny pulled even this solo performance off with grace, not missing a single beat as he made it clear that he was there to entertain. For the last songs, Kenny played a mixture of fast and slow. The crowd responded to these songs with a variety of expres- sions, some patrons looked awe-struck, others looked content. Kenny later went on to play a twentyone and up show at The Casbah later that night. The short pre-show at M-Theory was a great way to get in touch with fans and for i m m I «PUH.! M usic H ouse a nd S ports G rill 2 for Kenny to show his appreciation for fans of all ages, not just the twenty-one plus crowd.

"Jarhead" spends a lot of time describing what these men go through psychologically. Other war movies stress what can happen to the men psychologically when they are in war. "Jarhead" stresses realistically what can happen when not in war. These men are eager to use what they learned in basic training in actual combat but instead they wait and wait and wait. After spending months in the desert, Swofford says "Four days, four hours, one minute. That was my war. I never shot my rifle." The best scene in the film is when Anthony and Troy are sent on a mission to assassinate two enemy military officers. They have the officers in their sights and wait for clearance. When given the go ahead, their finger grips the trigger but in the next second, their commanding officer enters and orders them to stand down.

This film was based on Anthony Swofford's 2003 novel, "Jarhead". Some may question the accuracy of the events portrayed, but I won't.

Movie night f or C SUSM students BY JASON SAUMUR Pride Staff Writer Students have the opportunity and option to attend a free movie with student ID in hand. Edward's Cinemas and ASI are proud to present free student movie night every month at nine p.m. located at Edwards Cinemas 18 on 1180 West San Macros in the city of San Marcos. This month, on Nov. 15, Edward's will offer the war movie "Jarhead" at the nine p.m. showing for all students to view free with student ID. "Our goal in promoting and providing this activity is to offer students a venue to attend a movie they may have wanted to see but couldn't afford while at the same time fostering a sense of community by having a group of Cal State San Marcos students at a movie together," said Elizabeth Sheets, director of social programming on the ASI Programming Board about the significance of the event to the CSUSM campus. Since Cal State San Marcos is commonly considered a commuter school, the ASI Programming Board promotes a more sustained connection of its student body i o campus and the surrounding community. Sheets also added that ASI attempts to schedule movie nights for Tuesdays because with registration to the Regal Crown Card, students can get free popcorn along with a free movie. According to <www.imdb. com>, "Jarhead" chronicles the missions of a Marine unit during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the Middle East. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx. arise, please contact the Director of Social Programming on the ASI Programming Board, Elizabeth Sheets at sheet012@csusm. edu.

These reports give information on crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off campus buildings, or property owned or controlled by Cal State San Marcos, and on public property within. According to Woodward, the report also includes institutional poli- ADDRESS,frompage 1 her speech promoting academic excellence, student life, campus atmosphere, partnerships and fairness at Cal State San Marcos. Reflecting on short and long term campus goals, President Haynes hopes that "Cal State San Marcos will be known for its retention of graduation rates and student satisfaction." CSUSM has already implemented a reduced degree requirement to 120 units to be eligible for graduation, and plans to further adopt pro-retention rate polices by encouraging students to declare their major earlier on in a student's academic career^ providing detailed academic roadmaps and improving counseling services to students. President Haynes focused most of her time to issues surrounding the enhancement of student life on campus through expanding residence halls, athletic programs and creating a one-stop shop for students in Craven Hall. The third floor of Craven Hall is being converted into a one-stop shop, with admissions, cashier office, enrollment, The Pride staff office and other student services, all located in one general area. The courtyard located on the third floor, formerly known as the Library Plaza, will be renamed 'Cougar Courtyard' and be a designated area to host events and festivities on campus.

Our legacy will and should be built on the student satisfaction experience here on our campus," concluded President Haynes. Academic Blueprint "We are now planning for a new college," said Robert Sheath, university provost. New degree programs are being introduced in upcoming semesters at CSUSM. Kinesociology and Biotechnology are among the new degree programs that were initiated in Spring and Fall 2005. Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Mass Media and Broader Studies, Environmental Studies and a Speech Therapy degree will be offered in Fall 2006 through the College of Education and Business Administration will soon offer two areas of emphasis in either Finance or Marketing. 'Cranovations' and campus services Neal Hoss, vice president of Finance and Administrative Services, asked for campus "patience in moving a lot ofpeople around," in response to the so-called !cranovations\ (craven renovations). In development of this student one-stop shop, mentioned early by President Haynes, Hoss explained how a website is being I'm constructed to help students familiarize themselves with the Craven changes. "We are reworking how we interact with students," said Hoss. Cranovations will allow students to easily access fundamental university services without having to refer to directories or weave through Craven Hall. In addition, Parking Services has recently opened Lot H welcoming in 111 spaces, and in Fall 2006, Lot F is scheduled t o open with 1200 to 1600 spaces. In the year 2010-2011 a parking structure will be built to accommodate 2000-2700 vehicles. These expansions are funded solely on a past-student approved initiative to* increase parking fees to develop more parking spaces. The second installment of that prior student vote, will be implemented in Spring 2006, affecting parking permit costs going from $35 a month to $75 a month, mentioned Hoss. Such fee increases are a result of how parking funding is only supported through student fees and no other funds can be diverted to subsidized parking costs. Touching base on Police issues, Hoss reported that the University Police, Department is working on' communicative strategies focusing on addressing and implementing the services outlined by the investigative Task Force. Escort services are now available through the police department, and soon a new crime tips sex crimes are violations of criminal and civil law, and never tolerated.

Student Code of Conduct Pat Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs, discussed the changes to Title V dealing with Student Code of Conduct. Title V has not been updated in ten years, but with new definitions of misconduct the original 14 categories have been expanded to 20 categories detailing student misconduct policies. Worden explained how the definition of dishonesty was broadened to include cheating, academic plagiarism, falsification of information, misrepresentation and falsifying documents. All of these topics are mentioned in the terms of the new Title V. Hazing has been clarified to differentiate 'customary athletic events' from true acts of hazing. The new policy precludes defense ofwillful participation, apathy or failure to intervene as charges of student misconduct. Title V also includes the misuse of computers from unauthorized use,filetransfers, violation of copyright laws and use of equipment to transmit abusive messages or hatemail as all being classified as student C SU Student Trustee at C SUSM Corey Jackson, California State University student trustee, drove 104 miles to address the many issues in CSU, primarily the current issue of funding. "It's important to understand we're under-funded due to state budget troubles," Jackson said. "Higher education needs to be a priority in our state. Higher education relies on how much we're willing to sacrifice to ensure that our voices are being heard. Aré we going to give more for a greater good, or maintain status quo?" Final Words The State of the Campus Address happens annually with the focus being to educate and inform students, faculty and staff on the current policies, services and planning for the campus.

Sgt. Flores, officer in charge of the ride along program, showed me around the station upon arrival. We toured their locker and break rooms, and even took a look at the infamous breathalyzer. Officer Hernandez of the University Police showed me how the device operated, as well as how to perform the state-required routine testing of the machine itself. After a look at some of the numerous types of forms and paperwork, I went with Sgt. Flores toward the squad cars. The particular car we looked at came equipped with plastic backseats, which Sgt. Flores said "eliminates the possibilities of suspects hiding contraband in the cushions of the seats." Along with the numerous safety and road objects in the trunk of the car, the dashboard and center console had been turned into a huge radio, in which the U.P. was able to obtain signals from all over the greater San Diego Region. By seven o'clock I met the officer I'd be riding with. Officer Troy Holmes greeted me in the lobby of the building and we quickly went to his squad car to prepare for the night shift. At the beginning of each shift Officer Holmes inspects the vehicle to ensure that all lights and functions perform properly, this includes unloading, inspecting, and reloading the shotgun. After contacting dispatch, Holmes explained that we were going to "check the campus, the beat check, and make sure nothing is out of the ordinary." We patrolled the campus, and unlocked a door for a student in need of a late night recording room. Back on the streets, we made our first stop, pulling over a truck that made an illegal Uturn on Twin Oaks Valley Rd. After approaching the vehicle and talking with the driver, Holmes returned to the squad car to retrieve his Citation book. He issued the man a citation, who had confessed that he had seen the sign. Later Holmes noted that it was a "posted sign and he didn't obey it," that it is "our job is to provide a safe environment for the community" and when the driver veered across lanes it was clearly a risk to fellow motorists. The second stop was rather amusing. After seeing two men standing in the road, we noticed a San Marcos Sheriff parked up the street, watching them.

Long / The Pride drove up and asked what the deal was. Apparently the men had run their car off the road, and it had required a tow. Before it was taken, however, the two men had scrambled to grab boxes full of pornography out of the back. After the towing service left the men then spilled the box of pornography while attempting -to carry it across the street. Pornography was scattered across the streets of San Marcos as the two men raced to pick it up. We exited the scene leaving any further involvement up to the discretion of the San Marcos Sheriffs. Two more routine stops were made throughout the rest of the ride along, both for broken tail lights. Holmes said "it's a slow night tonight, you should have been here Thursday, we had our hands full." Afterwards, Holmes dropped me off to continue the rest of his twelve hour shift. Overall it was a great experience. The University Police are doing their best to enforce the law in a safe and fair manner, not simply issuing tickets. Officer Holmes, Sgt. Flores and the rest of the staff of the University Police are helping to create a safe and positive campus for us to attend, and help spur the growth and development of the school as a whole. I'd encourage students to help them by being safe and understanding the law.

Cal State San Marcos was the only university that the trailer set up during the four day "On the Way to the Cure" tour. The Komen Foundation local San Diego affiliate is wrapping up a four day tour in southern California according to Katie Parker, community outreach director. The foundation handed outflyersand postcards. In the trailer there were laptops set up for people to view instructional videos on how to detect breast cancer. "Early detection of breast cancer saves lives and is not a death sentence," said Parker. The trailer had an estimated 150 visitors in a three hour time period. Parker went on to explain how signing up on their Web site will keep students up to date on issues in Congress that concern breast cancer funding. The trailer was set up with laptop computers that played videos on how to detect early signs of breast cancer. The videopBSE Brest SelfExam, can be found at the main website for the Komen Foundation, www.komen.org. The video covers the basics of self exam and ways to Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride feel for lumps during an exam. It states that women should perform monthly exams starting at the age of 20. The exams should be done the same time every month and preferably right after the menstrual cycle. "Most people know us from Komen Race for the Cure®. But, since we began in 1982, the Foundation and its Affiliates have raised more than $300 million for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. It is credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer," said the San Diego Komen Foundation Web site, www.sdkomen.org. Nationally, the Komen Foundation sponsors annual walks and a fundraiser to help raise awareness and funding for breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of money raised in San Diego stays here, according to the Web site. There is a "Race for the Cure" event scheduled for Nov. 6.

Tennis player Martina Navratilova is probably the most notable female athlete to say she likes women. I am just waiting for the first male athlete to say he likes dudes so that this topic can soon go away, because I am sick of discussing it. If you can ball on the court I don't care if you do or don't play with another dude's balls at home. And, for those of you who have already started to write an angry e-mail, even if you can't ball I don't care what your orientation is. CSUSM Women's Golf Places 11th at Monterey Bay The women's golf team landed in 11th place October 25,2005, at the Golf Mart/Lady Otter Invitational, hosted by Cal State Monterey Bay at the Fort Ord Golf Course in Seaside. The course is 73-par, 5,957-yards. The Cougars had a two-round score of689 (346343). Twenty teams competed. Anyways, the one thing that does interest me about this whole topic is that Swoopes brings up the whole debate about whether or not people are born gay or turned gay. Swoopes said that she was not born gay but, rather, became gay. She was married to a man at one point and has a child. This fascinates me because as a straight guy I have no perspective on this and I always hear different takes on it. I guess it's one of those questions that will never be answered, like what came first, the chicken or the egg? The one thing that I don't want to se8 happen as a result of this is to see Swoopes with a book and movie deal. I wouldn't be surprised, because others have capitalized after their announcements.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer One thing we know about the Big Seven, apart from all leading to physical, mental or emotional satisfaction, is that after Avarice and Gluttony prove too costly, Pride and Wrath too timely, and Lust and Envy too likely to be guilty virtues; an idle hand remains the favored tool. And who can blame Old Scratch for letting the nails pound themselves in? And goodness knows there can be counted, among the faithful and dead, plenty who envision Paradise as a place free of toil, with hardly anyone on their feet, hardly anyone at all. We can't draw our dualism pistols just yet though, not till we've truly examined the thrice-saluted snooze button, the reclined request, and the time killed, butchered every which way to get out of kitchen duty. We have to dig the root of one tree before we can jam the fruit of the other, and what better vantage point to start than the hammock swaying serene between addictive personalities, and personal medication. Let's start with me, I'll subject myself to your stares. After all, it's been said (usually by those spoiled by their own good looks) that 'shy' people are merely selfish, Indeed, couldn't the same be said, and with greater ease to boot, of those 'slackers', those lie-abouts, those lethargic leisure leeches? The power in the term 'Lazy' is really not so passive-aggressive, nor so counterproductive as one might think. I've used it on myself countless times, both as a way to turn a subscription into an ailment, and to preserve my Avarice with a little prodded Pride. Sometimes, it works, others, I don't. Make no mistake; I like being productive, I like the rush of achievement and the glow of study. The danger and the problem and the life of it is: Sloth isn't the denouncement of work, but the avoidance, the replacement of work. And the best way to do that is with other work. Study a page or screen other than the one assigned. Improve the high score rather than balance the budget. The danger is that wolfish indulgence can become sheepish diversion, a soothing white wash till you smell the clean bleach burn-away, till you realize how easily, how Easy for how Quick and Strong, how something from almost no effort becomes something with absolutely no interest, and seemingly no escape. You're still in the game, but you've left the zone You've reached Nirvana ...but you're still in your rotting body. This gentle slothe is a deadly decline, not because it's slippery, but because we're either water seeking the path of least resistance, or fire dying to consume-propagate everything, all the while fancying ourselves as rising steam. The trick is not to get caught up contemplating womb re-creation retreats," or buying poverty as a symptom of laziness like affluence as a symptom of nobility. Ask yourselves why most people want money so that they can not worry about it, while those who have it want it so that they can get more of it. Ask yourself, when next someone slaps your idle hand, if they're more worried you'll forget the value of their employment, or that you'll realize the value of your time. There's no great mystery behind our unmotivated-epidemic. In fact, it likely has more to do with efficiency than lethargy. Even ifthe average American is reading, voting, and generally thinking less, they're realizing that they're still working more, but that half the effort often gets the same results. One by one we're noticing that, despite loving our bootstraps so much more than the rest of the world (that place where we get our stuff and citizens), 'self-made fortune' still sounds like an oxymoron. Little by little people, who need less money to retire than their boss needs to feel like the boss, are realizing that "I don't want to" isn't half so scary as "why should I". To everyone understandably insulted, or otherwise threatened by my lack of regard for their ambition, their awesome and oh so rare desire to special, I've an offer you can't refuse. Take a moment to wonder if you're half the boss you think you are, another moment for the opposite implication of that question, and yet another to thank the masses for not being 'hard-working' enough to have made your ascent that much more unlikely. The only trick now is to make them feel indebted to you, more interested in your sadly limited money rather than their currently limited time. That's right. Currently. You see, the more time we 'kill' the more valuable time becomes, the less satisfied we are with 80 years to spend when it seems we need at least 20 to waste. Perhaps, on an ambitious note, if doctors cured our lifespan first, they'd have the time to cure the rest. Naturally, there's no end in sight to the majority held by those who want to live, but mostly die, supernaturally. But surely they must realize that pious knees can also benefit from more time allotted to lazy asses and big heads. I believe it was the "Screwtape Letters" in which a Demon instructed his nephew on how to bring about a man's fall by convincing him that his time was his own. Give credit where you will for what you Will, but ask yourself: does the signature on your paycheck appear on all your waking hours? Perhaps we'll never see the day when everyone takes pride and sometimes money in all the work and play they do. Maybe we don't deserve to. It's equally possible, however, that instead of taking vacations from our 925s and GPAs, we might give our toil some time in the numbbubble, and be hurt rather than herded by the spectacle of those who would long for the days when they could live like a slaves^ officially. Even if it costs us our love affair with the Last Minute or our dream of having enough to be afraid that someone higher will give it to someone lesser, try taking the carrot off the stick, impaling it with the pin on your easy chair, and take stock of how much of you has been made under your terms, on your time. We're all afraid of a wasted investment, but the roots of your boredom and unsatisfying exhaustion need your water a lot more than your need their fruit. Student voices opinion on ASI I must say that on behalf of all of the prudish conservatives on campus, I laugh in the face of ASI and the campus in general. First, we've got the University Hour. I understand that ASI wants us to live on a commune, but for those of us that have to work for a living, a big chunk out of my time doesn't exactly work for me. Why not let us be pro-choice? If I want to get involved, I will. Why force me to do something I don't want to? Don't push your beliefs on me, ASI! It's hard enough getting by, but having to rearrange everything just so I can build some relationships with people that I don't really get along with isn't all that appealing to me. Second, for a campus that promotes diversity, I again must laugh; Michael Moore, Chariot the Harlot, and coming soon, Peter Camejo. Why is it that when conservatives come, there is a panel discussion, yet when it's a liberal pushing their ideals, they just get to "lecture"? Honestly, I have no problems with lunatics like Michael Moore speaking; he only embarrasses himself. However, when my fees go to pay for these loonies like Camejo, I should at least get someone from the other side. In a case like this, I must ask: "Where's Ann Coulter, Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity?" Where is ASI to raise thousands of dollars to bring one of them to speak? Answer: no where. I understand college kids are supposed to be bleedingheart liberals, but I'm more coldhearted. I don't support the values of ASI, and I don't support the foolish decisions they push. For those of you reading this and find me crazy, just remember that when you are mugged by reality, I told you so.

Yet through ibis odd a rcane-: 'Bewfi,*: m-COMM 316, One student's experience in the Katrina aftermath So one of my professors told me I was an enigma . . . I'm not sure exactly what he meant - am I a completely puzzling person to him? Quite possibly, after all, my mother's spent a great deal of her life trying to figure me out, unsuccessfully (one day she will give up). The latest puzzle piece was a trip I t ook... to a disaster site, in Slidell, LA. I don't find it that puzzling, but I guess many people do. For me, sleeping in a condemned hotel; on the floor in a ballroom with 60 complete strangers (many of whom snored) and sharing one shower... well, what can I say? It was an awesome use of my vacation time. I took this trip because I could; I had the necessary support from my bosses, co-workers, professors, family, friends, and neighbors. T also had vacation time on the books and a free round trip airline ticket in pocket. What I did was volunteer,my time in support of an organization that is central to the relief efforts going on in Slidell, LA. That organization is Noah's Wish. Noah's Wish is a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to rescuing and sheltering animals in .disasters. I became affiliated t with Noah's Wish three years ago and am a "trained volunteer". In some disasters the shear size of the disaster warrants bringing on board what we call Convergent Volunteers: Individuals who are not already trained. In Slidell the ratio of convergent volunteers per trained volunteers was perhaps , 10 to 1. After the initial 24-hours I was suddenly a leader (you learn fast!) then 2-days later I was in charge of a whole area; rSbbits and birds, a total of 47 animals. When I went (Oct 5-15) the volunteer pool was constantly changing, one day there were 60 of us, the next 30, (The animal count hovered around 950) and that's how things work in a disaster. One day everything's great - lots of volunteers, some- one finds ice available for sale, the temperature stays below 90, no one gets injured and all the cleaning is done by early afternoon. I experienced about 4 of those day& On other dayp the temperature kept climbing, the convergent volunteers had to go back to their lives, there were no cold drinks . . and people got injured. But through it all are the animals - that's why I went. There were families coming in looking for lost p ets... and finding them, there were people visiting their pets daily (their homes were destroyed), and there were still animals coming in. Few were actual rescues, many were strays found by neighbors and citizens, and some even came from other operations that were shutting down. Noah's Wish has been onsite since August 31 and currently plans to remain until midNovember. In the next week the 60-day hold on animals will be lifted (this was set to allow owners adequate time to reclaim their animals) and they will be available for adoption. Some will be placed into long-term foster care with approved foster homes These animals belong to people who will not be able to return to their homes any time soon. Many more have, sadly, been abandoned. These animals will be adopted. Already adoption applications are on file for many of them. Most of the animals that were surrendered by residents have already been adopted.* In fact, I adopted a kitten and brought her home with me. I've named her KC Squeaks . . . it's short for Katrina Gat and well, she doesn't meow, she squeaks. She will be my daily reminder of how lucky I have it here! The sights of devastation, the tired expressions on resident's faces and the smell will be with me for a long-time. But so will the feelings of joy as people and animals were reunited. I made some new friends while volunteering in Slidell; there is a common bond between animal advocates. And my final thoughts on the matter? Going into the disaster was filled with frustrations, fear, and challenge but the rewards for me would be unobtainable in any comfortable situation. If you have a compassion for animals and think you might want to assist Noah's Wish in the future check out the website and attend a Volunteer In-Field Training. If, after camping out for 3days and wrestling with goats, geese, cats, dogs, bunnies, and or snakes etc . . . you still think you have what it takes, .then go for it! Your perspective will change - you will grow - and you never know, maybe you'll meet your husband/wife/significant other there, not that I did, but you might!

You're with us or against us! These two statements may sound like hyperbole that President Bush said concerning terrorism or perhaps hyperbole from 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential campaign: however, these statements are not from this ^decade. The two statements were said in one-way or another during Franklin Roosevelt's tenure as President revealed by the exposé, FDR: The Other Side of the Coin by Former New York Senator Hamilton Fish III. The book chronicles Fish's numerous disagreements with the Roosevelt administration, chief among them, the refusal to prevent Hitler's invasion of Poland during the Danzig Crisis. What, if any, connection does this have with the lives of CSUSM students?- The book invites its readers to closely examine preconceived notions about FDR's presidency and his effectiveness as well as preconceived notions about cxirrent administration policies. Using these same principles of reexamining past events and historical figures, we can apply the same to the present administra- tion. The only difference being that in FDR's time, the Internet and 24-hour news channels didn't exist in its current form. Following both the Sept. 11 attacks and the War on Iraq, several informational sources, books, and documentaries have called into question the prevailing wisdom about the administration's policies, event timeline, and various political figures. Fish provides evidence that following the attack on Pearl Harbor; he had come to find out that the Japanese repeatedly asked the United States and Roosevelt to accept Japanese surrender in the months leading to Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt refused their surrender and essentially forced the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7 ,, 1941. In relation to present day, several reports including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on Weapons of Mass Destruction reporting during the lead-up to the Iraq Invasion and the 9-11 Commission's report surfaced that contradicts evidence table: History is not completely given during and immediately written in stone, it must be scrufollowing Pearl Harbor, Septem- pulously verified, checked, and This book ber 11 and the War on Iraq.

Pride Staff Writer /Capote' is the telling of how Four members of the Clutter Capote researched and developed family were shot to death Nov. 14, his novel. The murders and trial 1959, in their home in Holcomb, took Capote 6 years to capture in Kansas. The murders brought his book. The ordeal drained him attention to the small town and emotionally and physically. a nation wide man hunt for the Famous for his novels, which killers of this well-liked Midwest included 'Breakfast at Tiffany's, family. he used his fame to move about From New York City came Holcomb and into the lives of the Truman Capote, an author and small town citizens. columnist for 'The New Yorker' When the two murderers, Perry magazine.

In his opinion, are caught, Capote involves himthere was a human interest story self in their trial and their senin the lives turned upside down tence. from the murders. Eventually, the The movie is character-based Images courtesy of Sony Classics i nc o l d b l o o d and follows Phillip Seymour Hnd follows CPhillip in eymour a offman as apote Sa well acted role. He doesn't just play Capote, he becomes him. Capote was a flamboyant character who flaunted his dandy character, even in the small town of Holcomb. He is soft spoken but speaks his mind and is direct in everything he says and asks for. Clifton Collins Jr. does an excellent job playing Perry Smith, a well spoken criminal who captivates Capote. Smith seems to pull Capote in with charm and grace to give the appearance of not-guilty. His endless charm pulls Capote's personal life apart and drove him to drink. Chris Cooper plays Kansas Bureau of Investigation Agent' Alvin Dewey. Dewey was a personal friend of the murdered Mr. Clutter and has a personal grudge against the men who committed the heinous crimes. After Capote helps find better lawyers for the two, Dewey tells him that if they get off, he will hunt him down. The direction was the second finest attribute of the film. It felt like a Norman Rockwell painting with everybody seemingly enjoying the Americana lifestyle of the Midwest and big city. This backdrop gives more impact to the bloody scenes of the murdered family and how uncommon it was in the late 1950s of the Midwest.in the late 1950s of the Midwas The only trouble with the movie is the genre. I expected a true crime movie, but it was a nonfiction based on Capote's point of view of the murders and trial. Smith's eloquence and charm, as portrayed by Capote, is questionable. Capote seems to begin a romantic relationship with Smith as he visits him in prison and listens to Smith's personal history. This relationship almost seems to be a part of Capote's imagination and it is unclear if Smith is manipulating him. I have read that the book 'In Cold Blood' was to serve two purposes. One was to show the lives of the town in the wake of the murders and to stand against capital punishment. If the movie had the same agenda, it didn't succeed for me. As scenes of violence against the family were flashed on the screen in memory fragments, I felt no sympathy for the two sentenced men. This movie is not for everybody and is probably why it is showing in a limited number of theaters. Iin a ou enjoyumber of theatc f y limited n character-based movies with little action but great acting, then this is your movie. If you only see blockbuster actions movies on the big screen, then wait for video to see "Capote". I expect that Hoffman will at least be nominated for Best Actor, if not win it. Then the movie will probably be released wide. It has a tendency to be slow and Capote is a hard character to listen to for two hours but Hoffman delivers it with style. f or t h e h olidays'?

This holds true in "The Legend of Zorro." You will remember in the original, "The Mask of Zorro", we were embraced with romance, revenge and goofball humor. Now everything has been replaced with a farfetched plot, dumb characters and never ending fight sequences that by the 100thflip,punch, kick and thrust of the sword that I yawned. The farfetched plot: Don Alejandro de La Vega a.k.a. Zorro (Antonio Banderas) saves the voting ballot for California to enter the Union as a free state from tampering by Jacob McGivens(Nick Chinlund) and his goons. He returns home where his wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso) expect him to fulfill his promise to retire. Alejandro refuses. Elena divorces him and confides in Armand (Rufus Sewell), a French vineyard owner. Apparently, Armand is apart of a secret knighthood that has developed a powerful explosive to use against the US. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Alejandro salvages his relationship with his son while trying to win back his wife and uncovering Armand's agenda. Wow he's a busy guy! The dumb characters: Elena, once attracted to Alejandro's charm, has become demanding. What does she want from him? She never says. We're left clueless. Joaquin admires Zorro for his bravery but despises his father. He mimics Zorro and even helps uncover the plot. Whats confusing is that a small boy, with that much intelligence, isn't able to determine that Zorro is his father. He has seen both men up-close and heard their voices but still doesn't realize the truth. The villains, Jacob and Armand, look and act like villains, do nothing out of the ordinary and therefore are not interesting. The never ending fight sequences: they take place on/in trains, mountains, cliffs, farms, mansions, horseback, town square, etc. By the looks of it, they've exploited every location in the old west. I will admit the fight sequences are impressive. Stunt Coordinator Gary Powell has out done himself. The fight sequences are just too long and too much. It's like ordering another double when you're past legal limit. Cut down half the fight sequences and develop the relationship between Alejandro and Joaquin, then you have a better movie. Thefilmcuts away every time Alejandro and Joaquin sits down and have a father and son conversation. I felt cheated. By the end, they do have a meaningful conversation but I didn't care anymore and just wanted to leave.

Spice up the night BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Are you tired of eating foods that just end up making you feel bloated and sleepy and dinners that leave you and your partner lying on the couch with no energy for romance? If so, it's time to change the .menu. There are lots of foods out there that are aphrodisiacs that help boost sexual stimulation and add a little spice to an otherwise dull night. For starters, wine is an easy way to set the mood. A couple of glasses help to relax and stimulate the senses, but be careful because one glass to many can leave you drowsy and not up for any physical activities. For dinner try serving up or going out for oysters, which are high in protein and said to bring out passion. : Try feeding your lover asparagus to bring out that sensuous side. The Vegetarian Society recommended eating asparagus for three days for best results. Sweet Basil stimulates sex drive and enhances fertility. Carrots are thought be most stimulating to males. Carrots are high in vitamins and betacarotene and were used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid in the art of seduction. Garlic, though you may need a breath mint, stirs up sexual desires. By adding a little garlic to your pasta sauce, you're adding a little spice to your bedroom as well. This may seem a little odd, but mustard is believed to stimulate the sexual glands and boost sexual longing. Try eating a filet mignon with a mustard and peppercorn sauce. Now on to deserts; fruits are a great place to start. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamin B which are essential for sex hormone production. Raspberries and Strawberries, known as tfie fruit nipples, are not only loaded with vitamin C, but they are a great treat to feed your lover in front of some soft candle light. %•• If fruits not your thing then try some chocolate. Chocolate actually contains chemicals which effect neurotransmitters in the brain and a caffeine like substance cailed theobromine. In other words, it makes you feel great. Vanilla, the scent alone stimulates the senses, but the taste increases lust. Almonds are a great dfesert served, as Marzipan (almond paste), because the aroma is said to provoke passion in a woman. If you're looking for something a little warmer to heat things up try good olid ( ^ffeerCoflee contains caffeine which is a stimulant, which is a great start for an all-nighter, But justlike the wine it's better served in small douses, because to much caffeine can act as a depressant. If you're ready to spice up your night then these foods are for you, but remember food can only take you so fan Ambience is key; you don't want to be feeding your lover berries while they stare at a pile of dirty laundry. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XIV NO. 9 Hurt Again Women in abusive relationships BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer When choosing a partner, why do some of us behave like outright masochists, seeking pleasure in pain? How else could we describe people who stay in relationships filled with physical/verbal abuse, unyielding selfishness, or plain, old-fashioned oppression? Often dismissed with pity, disdain, or indifference, it's important to note that, of those who 'get out', many inevitably wind up back in similar situations without fully understanding why. In asking around, the Pride discovered some interesting similarities between people on the short end of such arrangements. The women interviewed seemed to understand logically that their relationships were not satisfying, but that something emotional, or otherwise hard to place, kept them from making better choices. Sonia Ruiz, an assistant professor at CSUSM's psychology department, shared some interesting insights; "The most important thing to remember is not to 'blame the victim' and to look outside the box at all the factors involved." Pride asked Dr. Maureen Fitzpatrick, another of our assistant psychology professors, what some of the sociological or psychological factors might be. What would cause a woman to create and even mainSee HURT AGAIN, page 3 Photo by Erin Young / The Pride The Lost Boys of Sudan, Thursday, Oct. 20.

In an exert taken from her book, Harlot expresses the difficulty of being on the forefront for sexual liberation.

The solution must be guaranteeing rights and making sure we're not discriminated against," said Harlot on b ehalf o f sex workers.

"Pornography is the antithesis of eroticism" showing women in suppressive roles with violence directed toward them, mentioned Harlot. Such representations put her line of work in harm's way. In the 27 years in the profession, Harlot has worked for massage parlors, call-girl companies, within social circles and independently serviced private clientele. She has been a victim of rape and believes that through legalizing the prostitution business laws and regulations can provide security to the workers preventing violence from manifesting. "Sex work is a noble and risktaking profession" said Harlot. Her mission has been to be an advocate for sex workers and their allies pushing to decriminalize prostitution and make it a shameless profession.

"I've not had enough exposure (to von Son) to know if he is a good teacher," said Yanez. Yanez also stated that he is unaware of the administration holding the Spanish language in higher importance than the 'Mexican language'. Also, he was hot aware of which staff and faculty were subpoenaed. Yanez is also unaware if the administration is trying to discipline von Son, as stated in the article. As for the two teachers that von Son is currently seeking legal action against, they are both female, as opposed to the statement in the article of one male and one female. According t o a ' North County T imes' a rticle f rom Oct. 12, von Son is pursing legal action against California State University San Marcos Board of Trustees, for his denial of tenure and claiming harassment against two faculty members, Sylvia Rolle and Jill Pellettieri. As for von Son's tenure, Yanez stated that he is not in the position to make a decision one way or the other. "His behavior should be looked at (for tenure)," said Yanez. He went on to say, "If you're going to support him, know this is going on. "I interacted with him on a personal level," said Yanez. Yanez has a working history with von Son which includes the upcoming movie "Ofrenda Desnuda". Yanez explained that his motives for coming forward were to inform students, staff and faculty of his experience with von Son. "Get informed, make an informed decision," Yanez said. As for the affects of the open forum, Yanez explained that he has had a lot of students go to him to express gratitude for coming forward. Yanez believes it is easier for men to come forward with information since it* can be embarrassing for women to talk about sexual harassment. An a rticle published in t he "North County Times', on Oct. 12 said, "charges in the lawsuit he (von Son) filed in December 2003 that two fellow professors sabotaged his chances to get tenure by submitting 'false and defamatory' material to the university's peer review committee on tenure." The article went on to say that "Superior Court Judge Michael Orfield has refused to dismiss the case" even though Cal State San Marcos has denied all claims made by von Son. �A Step Beyond Donating BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Blood Mobile blood drive on Oct. 18 and 19 was not as successful as expected according to the San Diego Blood Bank. Nonetheless, 38 pints (which calculates to four and three quarter gallons) of blood were donated during these two days, reported Lillian Gonzalez, Donor Recruitment Consultant. Aiso, according to Zelma Nixon, the licensed vocational nurse (LVN) on duty said they received six donors in the "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds ... it saves lives." Mary Walter-Brown first hour after the Blood Mobile arrived on the second day. A seventh donor finished filling out the medical questionnaire while Nixon was interviewed. The blood drive welcomed the public as well as students, but on Wednesday these first seven donors were students, and for the majority of them, it was their first time, said Nixon. Many students may wonder about what happens to their blood after it's donated. When asked about the trip blood donations take, Nixon explained, "There is a lab they (The San Diego Blood Bank) send it to for testing... It can take one week (for testing)." Nixon said all the blood donations are tested for safety before they are released for use in medical facilities. Gonzalez informed the Pride that blood donations can be broken down into plasma, palettes, and red blood cells while at the lab. Nixon also explained that the component selected influences how the donation is preserved, but that in its raw state blood donations are put in the refrigerator and can last for 42 days. If others wonder what happens if the blood donation is not used in 42 days, they might consider what Mary WalterBrown said in her Pride interview last week: "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds... it saves lives." Apparently it is unlikely that the donations collected at our school will not be used. Nixon assured students that The Blood Mobile visits CSUSM fairly regularly, and we can be certain that they will be back in the near future.

"From the research it appears women, move from one bad relationship to another for many different reasons. One is a lack of a good father (or father figure) when they are growing up. Another is coming from an abusive home—one in which the developing child either was abused or witnessed abuse. Some women have learned that abuse in a relationship is 'normal' and so they don't try to get out." Speaking further with students confirmed much of this, however, a number of them had their own personal reasons for staying in unhealthy relationships. For some it was simply a lack of self-esteem, making them feel as though they deserved the treatment they get because they are either not pretty, or smart enough to get anything better. Others even seemed to love the drama of a rocky relationship, that without it the relationship would be too boring. This may remind readers of something stand-up comedian Chris Rock once said, that if you're in a boring relationship. * .it's probably a good one. An episode of the popular show, "Sex and the City" also touches on this issue when, during the course of an apparently healthy relationship, the character Carrie is suddenly awakened with panic attacks. She comes to realize that they are an extreme reaction brought about by being so unaccustomed to a lack of drama. Recently^ a friend of this reporter who, after four years, finally built up the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship, found herself in a new and somewhat worse one. One night, while this new boyfriend was away at a USC game, he began sending abusive text messages because she had missed one of his calls. He began to accuse her of cheating on him, along with anything else he could say to make her feel guilty. She was obviously heart-broken and at a loss with what to do. Unfortunately this was not an isolated event, but had rather become a routine in their relationship. According to Oceanside's "Women's Resource Center" and Police Department, this boy was showing behavior characteristic of a batterer. I n only a few short months, this new boyfriend had demonstrated six of these seven signs. Needless to say, this friend was advised not to take it. This incident further stresses the yourpartnerinclude: whenever you ^ m feave h op» I s i ^ ^ G e t s very angry very quickly . * • ^ Criticizes or finds fault wt& you a lot - , , , ¡¡111 0 \ feelings .

In fact, according to "Woman Abuse Prevention", emotional abuse is responsible for long-term problems with physical health as well as for depression and anxiety. Those having trouble recognizing or ending unhealthy relationships are urged to seek support from family, or local women's resource centers. That said, concerned readers should be inspired to know that abuse cycles are neither normal, nor hopeless. Another personal acquaintance recently married a new partner after getting out of a "masochistic" relationship. Now she is happier than many of her friends have ever seen. When asked what made this partner so much better, she replied "For one, he can openly talk to me about his feelings, where the last guy wouldn't. Secondly, he's generous and cares about my feelings. And third, he's grounded, and that makes me feel secure." It's vital to understand that not all men are out to, or willing to abuse you. Another male friend stated, "I don't care how submissive the girl was, I would never treat her badly." There are wonderful guys like this out there everywhere, but it's about having the self-respect and support to find them. Ladies, if you don't want to be mistaken for a masochist, remember that when it's a power struggle, the last thing you want to do is hand all the power over. 3>: lie \ - 88? W.

Usually, upon mention of this place, most of us are flooded with visions of shady nightclubs packed with individuals who can't legally drink in the states, drunkenly flailing their bodies on small and sweaty dance floors. We think of dirty streets with speeding taxis and small children peddling tourist items on corners. We think of party spots like Tijuana and San Felipe as the core of what the country is about, and of course we remember not to drink the water there. And yet, there is much more to our southern neighbor than what is displayed in spring break brochures. Mexico is host to a fantastic array of land and water activities, wildlife preservations, and a cultural history. I recently traveled to three different Mexican locations and was given an even better taste of what the country truly has to offer. Mexico takes on an exotic feel in the daytime to perfectly accent the vitality of its nightlife. The activities offered both inland and on the beaches were of such a tropical nature that I almost mistook our surroundings for an island in the Bahamas. At Cabo San Lucas, visitors are invited to first tour the city jeep, and then explore the bay by glass bottom boat. These two means of transportation are sold in one reasonable package for individuals and groups. Guides also ensure that each traveler's Cabo experience is complete with the inclusion of on-shore shopping, dining, and historical sightseeing, as well as a glimpse at the ocean life surrounding the region. I was able to peruse village shops for authentic tanzanite and fire-blown glass, as well as snorkel off the coast at El Arco. A visit to Mazatlan provides a more vivid look into Mexico's working class. The city is largely industrial, with outlying tropical areas—a contrast to the atmosphere of Cabo San Lucas. I learned that Mazatlan came under historic settlement by the Spanish in 1531 who sought to export the gold and silver produced there at the Sierra Madre mines. Because of this, there are no ancient ruins to see at Mazatlan. The city's main attractions are its aquariums, Iglesia de San Sebastian, and the 40-foot high cliff, El Mirador, which hosts cliff diving shows twice daily when weather permits. Primarily, the tourist sites at Mazatlan are products that showcase the labor of its citizens. Lastly, the scenic atmosphere and cultural prevalence of Puerto Vallarta provides a semi-indus- CLASSIFIEDS « lÎ^ÏHÏNÔRS illllil^i^-:;' Fecaalss ages IllÄÄfe^Plw^r^ •! m c ouples s ome o f t he | | ; m any e ggs yottr b ody : d i s u s e s monthly. gPCQMPENSATION g f il l l ^ ^ p l Ä f H , ; | T ^aetò/tutor f or in-home j wMh a Photo by A ntoinette J ohnson / The Pride trial, semi-exotic blend of both Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. The terrain there takes a dramatic shift from warm water beach surfaces to severe mountain regions, less than 10 miles inland. With the mountains surrounding this oasis, Puerto Vallarta exists in peaceful isolation. The lasting impressions of the city were made by its accessibility to shopping, dining, and lounging, as well as the friendliness of the citizens. Puerto Vallarta has a newer face than Mazatlan, but still contains the authenticity of a Mexican culture. Visitors are given the opportunity to watch and learn salsa dancing at the Malecon Main Square in down- town, tour Elizabeth Taylor's 9-bedroom 11-bathroom house at Casa Kimberley, and explore mountain wildlife on horseback. Banderas Bay also provides snorkeling, dolphin swimming, and parasailing. Given these descriptions, one might turn away in disbelief that all of these glorious sights are encompassed in the nation of Mexico, but it is true. There is a lasting culture that continues to thrive beyond the TJ's nightclubs, and I urge everyone to experience it. An escape to the real Mexico can broaden one's cultural horizon beyond that of only the states, or namely, Southern California.

I love football season, but having games two days a week just doesn't do it for me. Thankfully my favorite reality show begins in one week when the basketball season tips off. Just like every other basketball fan, I have some predictions on what is going to happen this year. Now let me start off slowly with some easy predictions. Sometime between now and Nov 3: An NBA player will be charged with possession of marijuana. He will then use a creative excuse when he claims he was just holding it for a friend. Sometime between Nov. 1 and Nov 7: The Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal triangle of hate will dominate the headlines again, when Shaq opens his yap and instigates reporters to beat this story to death once again. Nov. 2 (The Indiana Facers first game): Ron Artest will be ^ The CSUSM athletics program is continuing to grow with the addition of softball and baseball in the spring of 2007. According to Athletics Director, Dr. Stephen Nichols, there has already been an abundant amount of interest regarding the teams. "I'm receiving phone calls, emails, snail mail, even skills tapes from in and out-of-state regarding the teams. There seems to be lots of interest which is great," explained Dr. Nichols. The recently named coaches, Jennifer Milo for softball and Dennis Pugh for baseball, have informally begun recruiting. The ideal roster is about 20 ladies and 30-35 men. Dr. Nichols explained that after the recruiting cycle, it will be up to the coaches if an actual try-out will be held. The teams will be a part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Other schools that will be competitive within this association include Point Loma Nazarene, Biola, and Azusa Pacific. As the schedule is still being put together for the spring of 2007, CSUSM will aim to play other Division II and III schools including USD and UCSD. One of Dr. Nichols' goals is to raise money for scholarships, for the upcoming athletics teams. As of now," partial scholarships are offered to some athletes. A greater scholarship may be awarded at the coach's discretion and based on the total endowment for the team. A further addition to CSUSM's athletics program will be taking place next fall, with men's and women's soccer teams. The name of the chosen coach has been withheld at this time, due to their current contract elsewhere. The soccer teams will also begin recruiting, hoping to gain a roster of 18-20 athletes per team. Dr. Nichols has high hopes for the future of the athletics program. His vision is to see the addition of women's volleyball, swimming, diving, water polo, and tennis, all in due time. As for now, he explains, "There is no shortage in work in preparing for the new coaches and teams, but it really is fun." if I X Ü THE p r i d e Jock talk with Josh BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer hat VylV suspended for the rest of the year when he gets in a fight with a water boy who looked at him the wrong way. Nov. 2: Kobe Bryant returns to the Denver area to play the Nuggets...well lets just leave that one alone. Nov. 18: The Atlanta Hawks defeat the New Orleans Hornets, to win their first game, putting their record at 1-8. Dec. 25: Before the Lakers versus Heat game on Christmas day, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal will celebrate Christmas together. Phil will only bring one present to the gathering. Shaq and Kobe will then lash out at one another in the newspapers over who deserves the gift more. Jan. 7: The Atlanta Hawks win their second game of the season, putting their record at 2-29. Jan 12: The Pistons return to the scene where they lost last season's NBA finals in San Antonio. The Pistons lose this game, but the Spurs lose Tim Duncan when he attempts to block a Ben Wallace dunk and is lost in Ben's enormous fro. February 6: 6-0, 165 pound Allen Iverson dunks on 7-6, 310 pound Yao Ming. Realizing he is an embarrassment to the center position, Yao tries his luck at another sport and becomes the world's tallest jockey. üüühí March 2-5: In the four day span, the Bulls and Cavaliers play twice and ESPN will compare LeBron James to Michael Jordan 985,041 times. April 9: The Clippers sweep the season series against the Lakers, causing the city of Los Angeles to think the Apocalypse is upon us. April 19: The Atlanta Hawks lose the final game of the regular season to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They end the season at 2-80 causing NBA commissioner David Stern to banish them to the WNBA. Okay, now that the easy predictions are done with, here are the tough ones. I believe the Miami Heat will win the Eastern Conference title. Shaq and Dwyane Wade is the most lethal combo in the NBA. Not to mention the Heat went out and acquired Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, and James Posey. They also had a very good draft acquiring Wayne Simien and Matt Walsh. Some people claim that too many superstars will cause disharmony. I disagree because I believe all of these guys know that they NEED to dish the ball to Shaq or Wade. In the Western Conference, I like the San Antonio Spurs, because they are*the definition of what a team should be. Their entire team is back and they have acquired Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel. The Spurs also had an excellent draft acquiring Jawad Williams and Stephen Graham. Now for the awards. For the MVP I see Jason Kidd making a run at it this year, if he can stay healthy. He now has running mates for a full season in Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. I also see LeBron making a run at the award, if he can get the Cavaliers into the playoffs. For rookie of the year I see Hakim Warrick of the Grizzlies flourishing in his first year. He has the abilities and stature that usually produce great rookie years. The most improved team this season will be the Los Angeles Lakers, because of two words: Phil Jackson. The team with the biggest drop off this season will be the Phoenix Suns because Amare Stoudemire will be out four months to start the season. Not to mention it would have been hard to win 62-games even if Amare was healthy. Alright, just to make sure I get one prediction correct; I predict that more predictions from the first half than the second half of this article will come true.

Decency seems to be making a comeback. On the ballot this Nov. 8 will be a piece of legislation that could possibly be an indication of a regression back to the days when morality and common law were synonymous. I have always felt abortion is perhaps one of the most heinous acts of violence and ungodliness one could perpetrate, and I am vehemently opposed to its prevalence among American society, but I would vote any day of the week for a woman's right to choose (as long as the abortion is with in thefirsttrimester. Partial birth abortion is something altogether different, biologically speaking). I believe that a minor—an individual under the age of 18, and considered by the legal system to still be under the care and supervision of their parent or legal guardian—-is neither sufficiently responsible nor mentally prepared for the very serious decisions involved with issues of adulthood (I would even venture to say that most under the age of 25 are of the same character). That a 14year-old girl could have an abortion without the consent or notification of her parents prior-to—when the removal a of bunion from the toe of that same child requires written parent approval—seems unimaginable, but hey, this is California, a state in which a Superior Court Judge ruled that the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Parents are wholly responsible for the welfare of the child, as long as that child is under the age of 18, but it seems that society, or at least that of California, has decided that matters that could affect the life of that child are matters of 'privacy and personal choice'. Children have neither the faculties nor the privilege of making such choices without the participation of their guardians. While a parent can't prevent their child from engaging in promiscuity (any more than the sound teachings of church and family can), matters that involve medical attention and surgi- cal operations do require, in all other circumstances, the consent and notification of the parents. Why then is something as life-altering as abortion so different? The abortion may not, at first glance, significantly change the life of the young girl, but it most certainly affects the life of the unborn child within her. The answer is simple. We as a society have decided to preach to our children, not a message of morality and personal responsibility, but instead the venom of promiscuity and self-gratification. Now, if one has sex and—oops!—get's pregnant, instead of taking care of the child, the result of one's choices already made, we can simply "undo" the mistake! A redo, if you will. Suddenly, childbearing has become something of a game in which abortion is the quick fix to a night of passion absent of reason. Being an individual that came quite close to being aborted (thanks to my grandmother, Voila! The miracle of birth occurred after all), I think it's important to stress that abortion isn't a solution for a mistake, but a medical operation that should be used only in the case of a medical emergency; when the life of the mother is in danger. But a teenager doesn't understand this. It's not theirs to understand. They're not supposed to be dealing with such weighty issues. These are items of adult proportions, which require the faculties found exclusively among reasonable adults— the parents of these troubled youths. In California, however, a parent's consent is not needed for a minor, even a 13 year-old to have an abortion. Still, at the least, the parent should be notified, should be privy to such information before the abortion. Some may say that such required notification is still an invasion of privacy, but minors don't have such rights, and such has been demonstrated in cases involving eavesdropping and the like, which are more obvious occurrences of an 'invasion of privacy'. In order to be under the care and supervision of one's parents, there simply cannot be such blockades to understanding. If parents are expected to morally and emotionally support their daughter in such a time of distress, they should be given fair notice of such a course of action. The reasons for this exception to common medical prac- tices are quite clear; thefirstis that we want, as a society, to promote the sexually liberal ideals of our licentious youth, and second, we are always attempting to treat children as adults. The availability of "morning-after" pills is the proliferating message o f cleaning-up, rather than dealing with, the "mistakes" of one's behavior. Many argue that 'we shouldn't punish a young woman for mistakes she's made; making her deal for life* with an ill-thought out decision of her youth', but, and excuse me, the conception and development of a fertilized egg into a human being is not a 'mistake', it is nature and Please, help bring back some reason to this state of radical leftists that strip away, year-by-year, more and more of the vital fabric that keeps families intact. Return to the parents their right to know; honor their rights as the caretakers and fountains of emotional support of their children, return back to the parents what has always been theirs, the right to know about the medical condition and welfare of their children.

BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Good Night, and Good Luck" has every quality a film should have that would make you remember and applaud it. It chronicles the initial steps of Senator Joseph McCarthy's downfall, beginning with numerous reports from "See It Now," anchor Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn). Despite cynical criticism and abandonment by sponsors, Murrow and his producer Fred Friendly (George Clooney) push forward to expose a corrupt, lying government. That's a simple enough plot to last ninety three minutes. However, "Good Night, and Good Luck" makes you forget the length and focus on the more intriguing aspects, such as the performances, the cast, and the authenticity. The performance of Strathairn is the most memorable. He is not just portraying a real person, but resurrecting Murrow to a new light and a new generation. It would be a shame if Strathairn received anything less than an Oscar nomination. Even though Clooney also gives a fine performance, I'd rather remember him as the director of this film rather than an actor. Once known as an actor who only accepts leading roles, in "Good Night, and Good Luck" Clooney gives his film and his cast the opportunity to shine instead of him. He creates the film in standard black and white to give a real feel for the time period. He even uses archive Photos courtesy of Warner Independent footage of McCarthy himself, instead of an actor. The set design of the offices and the newsrooms answer the question, "What's it like to work at CBS back then?" The supporting cast is not one of big stardom but of skill.

"Good Night, and Good Luck" joins H elp M ake D reams C ome T rue a mi E arn $ S 9 000 a nd U p "Pulp Fiction," "The Usual Suspects," "Heat", and many more on my list of films with the best supporting cast. It seems obvious that the film is giving one lesson and one message. The lesson is that what we went through in the past is likely to occur again. The film urges us to learn from our past to predict the future. The message is that there is a connection with the McCarthy years to our current leadership.

The film, which followed a group of young idealists at the influential Black Bear Ranch, in Siskiyou County, where they aimed to reshape the world with free love, common property, and the excited controversy of fear amongst local residents. Premised on the idea of Free Land for Free People, and financed Hollywood rock stars, the founders of Black Bear bought land deep in the wilderness and raised a rough-hewn homestead. Over the years, hun- "Extraordinary Machine" dreds would join the community, and life would be complicated by conflicts about the role of women, child rearing, proper behavior, and most traumatically, a childsnatching cult. The film gave us a revealing look at how our most basic choices about family, work, and the nature of our relationships send powerful and lasting shock waves through the fabric of society. According to Berman, "The theme of the film, in my opinion, is 'go for it, go for your dreams, but be sure to not get too carried away by them.' You see this in the film with the Commune on the one hand, who is going for it, and the cult who challenge their existence." The cast includes Peter Coyote, Michael Tierraandinternationally renowned painter Elsa Marley. Jonathan Berman's previous films, "The Shvitz" and "My Friend Paul" have aired on Sundance Channel, PBS, Discovery, ARTE, Trio and other networks that have screened theatrically and at numerous festivals around the world. Critics have praised Berman's "searing celluloid portraits" as "crackling with energy" full of "swagger and style," and "gritty and funny." BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer The sneaky, sinister sounds of Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine spark new energy in even the dreariest of listeners. I figured Apple's new CD would be similar to all the other angry chick music I've heard. In retrospect, I find the content of Extraordinary Machine much more empowering than depressing. Apple's tone adds a sense of refreshing fierceness to every track. Listening gives me the image of a boy smirking as he is admonished by a teacher with lettuce in his teeth.

XIV NO. 8 Hurricane Katrina Forum Proposed University Hour Race and class discrimination in relief efforts Fall 2006 may welcome an academic-free time period to promote student involvement on campus BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer Dr. Sharon Elise shared statistical facts and public misconceptions about the racial discrimination generated toward the poor black communities of New Orleans and neighboring affected areas. Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina victims are overwhelmingly black, with In an effort to promote extra-curricular engagement in the students of Cal State San Marcos, the Associated Students, Inc. began the process of implementing a University Hour. A University Hour is defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study groups to convene. "University Hour, which will strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular engagement while promoting Cal State San Marcos Core Values," said Marc DeGuzman, ASI president and chief executive officer. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that Cal State San Marcos students cite lack of co-curricular engagement as a main reason for leaving our campus. University Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to actively address our low retention rates by providing opportunities for the entire campus community to engage all students in co-curricular programming.

Blaming Victims Misconceptions about alcohol on campus Cal StatefSan Marcos is not a fdiy campus BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Recent news articles published in The Pride newspaper have given the impression that Cal State San Marcos is a 'dry campus' prohibiting the consumption of alcohol on the campus property. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to be rectified. "Any and all locations, with the exception of classrooms, could be reserved for events where alcohol could be drunk," said Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus, contrary to popular student belief. Without a bar or liquor sales on campus, CSUSM may give the appearance of being a dry campus. Students may recall the recent Oktoberfest event that served root beer at the celebratory gathering, or the Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to be served in the form of beer and wine on campus. By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on campus. This form, known as the Alcohol Approval Request Form, gives cougars the opportunity to submit requests for alcohol approval. "There are several campus entities that a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school policies set up for the safety of students. The University Police is not only required to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the police are usually required at any alcohol related events. Individuals are also allowed to submit a request for alcohol on campus as well, however most commonly the request is made by student organizations in compliance with the policy. "The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in the Clarke Field House, but events are not limited to this venue," said Poullard. "Several articles have appeared in The Pride about the idea of a Bar/Pub, but no See DRY CAMPUS, page 2 Miramar air show Pride online takesahit Applepies in Julian See News See Features See O pinion See A & E PAGE 2 PAGE 6 Give blood on campus * RAGE 9 PAGE 12 �NEWS Red Cross Blood Drive comes to CSUSM TUesday, October 18, 2005 BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer Actional p -Staff THE PRIDE Staff Writers The San Diego Blood Mobile will be on campus in The Dome's parking lot hosting a blood drive Layout Destra & Alfred Om on Tuesday Oct. 18 and WednesHioto Sdito* I DaciJáoswski day Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 » ItHMHltabQ Aatet^lotosos p.m. AmaixiaKoeiey 1 News Editor "We are hoping to get 35 V AlexLopez Christine ïkymM&m (donations) each day ... to be £ Vaughan 111 Shelly Monroe cost effective," said Mary WalterFeatures Editor I - U&Osbosne Brown, marketing manager of the iilikal^Q^ | | :JSaciarjr I». , || Kimbedyffcaymcmd San Diego Blood Bank.

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a faculty member, I also note that University Hour will enhance students' ability to get together with their classmates for study groups, for group projects and even for something as simple as a cup of coffee with a classmate." CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic University Pomona are the three CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of our local educational partners, also has a University Hour. ASI has received positive feedback of having a University Hour. History Professor Patricia Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that building community is an important priority for the campus but I donrt think we think creatively enough about how you can do that on a commuter campus. We tend to take 'solutions' that work well for small, residential liberal arts colleges (partly because so many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are of traditional age and don't work more than 20 hours a week, if or older weighing at least 110 pounds are welcome to donate. However, the San Diego Blood Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in selected areas, exposure to Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/ flu-like symptoms may prevent potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to answer a brief medical history questionnaire and communicate with nurses about eligibility. "Hospital patients depend on blood donations every three seconds ... it saves lives," said Walter-Brown. Donations are most often used in auto accidents, heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments and third degree burn victims. The San Diego Blood Bank encourages students to start donating at a young age, since young adults are typically in ideal healthy and bounce back better after donations. Many of San Diego Blood Bank's active donors are in their late 70s and 80s and are becoming ineligible to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown. All donors will receive a free "Go Give" t-shirt, a voucher for a free oil change courtesy of Evans Tire and Service Centers and a discounted round of golf at Pala that, and insist that these same solutions ought to work at a campus like CSUSM where the student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying 'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a different way because of who our students are and what their lives are really like ~ so how do we do that?'" Academic Senate originally denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for several reasons, which included concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of University Hour. The Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors recently had a new proposal that a University Hour be implemented between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006. ASI recognizes that certain courses and degree programs do not lend themselves to University Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential Programs and courses or labs three hours or more in length will be exempted from the University Hour. "We tend to assume that just because students don't stay on campus and participate in things it is because they don't feel a sense of belonging at CSUSM and we don't often enough consider that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact, it's all they can do to squeeze the time out to take classes, study and get their degree," said Seleski. ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall 2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey respondents believe that the creation of a 'University Hour' would benefit the campus. "But, while I laud the goal of University Hour, I don't think the reasons for doing it are more compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule (and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems for more students that it will help. And in the end, I'm not willing to do that to students — especially in the absence of any hard data that demonstrates that University Hour will improve community life on campus," said Seleski. The next Academic Senate meeting will be voting on the proposed University Hour on Nov. 2. For more information on the University Hour please see the ASI website at: http://www. csusm.edu/asi. classi should not be construed as the endorsement or investigation of Mesa Resort in Fallbrook. Walter-Brown added that all donors should bring a photo ID, relax, and know that donating is easy. Those interested in donating are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids and eat a good meal within 4 hours before donating and be well-rested to prevent fatigue. Donations typically average one hour to fill out necessary forms, conduct a medical screening, give blood donation and relax for at least 15 minutes enjoying snacks and refreshments. Appointments can be made by contacting Tanja at schro005@csusm. edu and walk-ins are welcomed to donate. DRY CAMPUS, from page 1 formal action has ever been taken by students, faculty, staff or administrators in the development," Poullard stated. The main purpose for authorization of any alcohol on campus is safety. Safety is a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related matter on campus. Poullard noted that safety is "a huge role" in deciding approval. All alcohol events require ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be handled by a licensed caterer approved by CSU Foundation, organization must maintain general liability insurance, no kegs or bulk containers are permitted, food and non-alcoholic beverages are required to be served if alcohol is available and organization is responsible for any facility damages and cleanliness following the event.

Elise points out that historically society tends to point the finger at the victim. Implications questioning why people didn't evacuate suggest that these individual lack intelligence, although many people with this view fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave. Much like the real-estate property values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar situation; the "least affected areas were white areas" because higher altitudes were not subjected to mass flooding. "Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural disaster" said Elise in response to the racial news-reporting suggesting that blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies for survival. "We are not afraid to call it what it is: institutionalized racism despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued. Elise suggests that there are two possible reasons to explain this racial disparity: either something is wrong with black people or something is being done wrong to black people. But racism isn't isolated in New Orleans. Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets, the less funding it receives." Elise urges our students and faculty to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the black face of unemployment and the white face of the White House." BY BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN & AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writers University Police offer escort services to promote safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots and immediately adjacent areas of the campus. The escort service has been offered at Cal State San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living accommodations on and around campus the police are boosting up the circulation of information on department services to ensure that our campus is a safe environment. Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure. "It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours." Anyone can take advantage of this service regardless of the reason or absence of immediate threat. Many academic classes are held in the late evening and with day-light savings time around the corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will escort and accompany students to their car, dorm, bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments, located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having problems or being harassed by another person on campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate local residence. The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House. The RAD program is sponsored by the University Police and ASI. The three-hour training provides female students with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567. What if I'm History Repeats Itself Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached racism through a historical lens and focused on how policies formulate racial categories to assert blame to the victim. Comparing the Irish potato famine with Hurricane Katrina, Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both governments blamed the disaster and circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the tragedy. British elites were quoted that the potato famine would serve as a cleansing of society arguing that 'survival of the fittest' justified lose of life. And after Hurricane Katrina, former First Lady Barbara Bush was quoted that the relief efforts were good enough for the 'underprivileged.' "How will we remember Hurri- prean cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100 years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina, we need to continue conversations and analyze the role of racial policies and attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history. "Theories do not save people; action saves people. Take the risk of speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca. Allowing the media to mold our own interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the social-politics that oppress and blame the victims. White Racism Still Exists Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the traditional mainstream story and who gets to tell it." Much knowledge can be acquired through recognizing who tells the, story. Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken from the American Renaissance, a monthly magazine available online, with conservative white racial views. Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the hatred and hate speech directed to the black victims of Hurricane Katrina. One view shared from American Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger shortage in your town - don't worry they got a bus load of niggers coming to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some whites wanting to "help (their) people, but the muds and spies be damned." Moon encouraged attendees to be aware of the deep racism that exists in our society, arguing that knowledge is necessary to deconstruct the inequity that marginalizes noliwhites. Open Discussion Open to questions, comments and personal experiences, students, faculty and guests discussed the prevalence of racism at Cal State San Marcos and the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists encouraged attendees to engage in dialogue on poverty, race, gender and politics. Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences on race. Sociology student, Lisa W. expressed her feelings of racism on campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori said. "A great-white walk out" occurred according to one audience member. She felt that white students left when racism got too real for them, when she observed over 20 people leave the forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis- cussing white-racial views towards blacks. "But many stayed. I can only focus on those that show up and stay," responded Moon. "For white students there's a d ifferent cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be r uthless to their own," explained Moon. Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with students not to get discouraged in trying to open communication on race. "If you believe you can't change the world, you've been conned. It takes courage to hope," Avalos-C'DeBaca said. "We don't have time to be hopeless," Moon added. An audience member commented, "we're in college now and this is where we learn how tofight.That is what I've learned." TESTING p p yoo suspect your teen is a basing d rags or alcohol?

There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns in the early morning around campus, there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners, for example, can be seen mornings making their way along the outskirts of campus, as can coyotes, which can be observed around campus in the morning and evening. "At one time there used to be a herd of deer," said Waiters referring to a small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these large creatures living nearby. Although the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still be seen with the proper timing. One of the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even attracted a few of the deer onto the campus itself. Yet the shrub has since ceased being planted as the deer were feeding on them as soon as they were placed in the ground. As for the namesake of CSUSM, the cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen in nearby communities, complaints from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered cat away from its native territory. Still, many species of wildlife have held on, for now, to the territory they call home. The animals "just have to know when to come out and not be heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus continues to grow it is likely that the sightings of wildlife near campus will probably decline over time.

"History 'gives' the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against) every day." According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other current events issue, through a historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal to the historical memory they've learned, even though that memory may not be accurate. The history department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to figure out new solutions to past and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about 'nursing old wounds', it can also be about finding commonalities and finding ways of reconciliation." Seleski assures students that the history department does not have an agenda, nor is it trying to enforce any particular view on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is mainly offering students, faculty, and the public an opportunity to hear different views on Middle East peace issues from various speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of encouraging dialogue within the community. Those involved are also aware that these issues might be a sensitive topic to some due to its political aspect and in light of the political dissention currently occurring in the United States. The speakers share only their own viewpoints, and Saleski reminds everyone attending that the history department is not promoting their perspectives as truth, but hopes to ultimately FARMERS Insurance Group Patrick Shakarjian Looking for bilingual (English/Spanish) part time position Great incentives and bonuses Call (760) 542-1888 ASAP Maximum Coup^n^Value up to $10 Coupon ^ ¡^J 3 6 presented with incoming order and pre-paid.

Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif. The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th anniversary this weekend along with an estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of all ages and backgrounds flocked from around the country to catch a glimpse of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with incredible air shows were the 100 or more aircraft on display, including planes from World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was not a dull moment. I have never been big into military type stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about the array of amazing aircraft and found myself in a trance gazing at the planes moving faster than the speed of sound, defying gravity. I was almost brought to tears, or maybe that was just the effects of staring into the sun for a couple of hours. Neither words nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an inspiring country we live in and has given me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at 600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a ride in one of those any day! Photos by Shannon Shureman / The Pride Above: Blue Angels roar above the crowd. Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds. Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes! The Blue Angels have been in flight since the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The team consists of six of the most highly trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours and flies the number one jet. The other five members are required 1,200 tactical jet flight hours and man jets two thru six. Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown for over 393 million fans.

ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer With the regional competition right around the corner, both the men's and women's cross country teams are working hard to keep up their top 10 rank. The regional competition is to be held in Fresno on November fifth. This day will ultimately determine which teams within the region will then move on to Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky just a few weeks later. The cross country team is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This allows the team to go up against several divisions of athletes and more importantly the best competition. According to head coach Steve Scott, "With better competition our teams will get pulled to faster times." The men and women compete at several invitationals and following each meet they are ranked according to their times. The cougars have had four meets so far and as of last week the men's team is ranked eight and the women's team is ranked sixth. At the regional competition the first place team moves on to nationals along with the top 20 teams according to their rank following the meet. With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are confident that nationals will be Jock talk with Josh in their near future. At the nationals competition the top four teams place out of 27 that qualified. Steve Scott commented, "Talent wise I think both teams have the ability to place at nationals." According to Steve the real trick is being able to have all your athletes run their best race all in the same day. It's about being prepared mentally and physically and experience always helps ease the nerves. Steve explained, "We have the potential and that's all you can hope for when going into a national meet." Friday, Oct. 21 the cougars will be heading to Fullerton for their final meet before the regional competition. to Point Loma in a game where Mission Bay's kicker missed two extra points that clearly made the If you difference.

Pugh comes to CSUSM from Mission Bay high school, where he has spent 26 years in varying positions such as head baseball coach, head football coach, and athletic director. I am particularly thrilled about the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not only because he brings an established presence to a new program, but because I know what kind of person he is. Over the past two years while I have been writing for the San Diego Union-Tribune I have covered Mission Bay football a couple of times. In fact, one of the first football games I ever covered was a Mission Bay game. Mission Bay lost that day 20-19 Take current CSUSM student Fernando Brown who played football at Mission Bay for Pugh, "It's going to be like Charlie Weiss going to Notre Dame." Commented Brown on the impact that he thinks Pugh will have here at CSUSM. Milo and Pugh will both be working part time this semester as they begin the transition from their current jobs to recruiting and building the new programs at CSUSM. Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and the University for selecting two well deserving coaches to lead CSUSM into new territory.

Ste 107, San Maroos* CA 93078 �8 OPINION Tuesday; October 18, 2005 THE PRIDE p umpkin p eople Escape to reality BY ERICA DAVIS Special to The Pride Reality TV - we all know by now that's an oxymoron . The plots and storylines of shows such as Survivor and The Amazing Race rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with no focus on competition, such as Extreme Makeover- Home Edition, have no basis in reality. I've not met ANYONE personally who had Shea Homes show up one day and decide to give them a new house full of all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was the link between all of these shows. When Johnny Fairplay lied about his grandmother's death to other Survivor's, he instantly became the contestant America loved to hate, and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler shows. I've found in my own work life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely does someone ask if I've seen the latest episode of Law and Order and yet many friends and cowork- ers love to gossip about the newest argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit in more hushed tones these days. These competitive shows, such as Big Brother, that often involve some sort of "on-screen" romance draw viewers in. As if we were all in High School again watching a couple break-up in the hallway; we like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way we REACT to these shows, even if they are completely staged. So, if it is gossip driving the competitive shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's because it IS providing an escape from reality . The "dream shows," enable us to imagine that we too could have that new 7 bedroom, 6 bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son and brand new Expedition in the driveway. IF our personal struggle is sad enough to win the network's attention, that is. Gone are the days where your life's suffering meant a SUBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

Instant, earthly rewards!! It gives you a reason not only to root for the underdog, but to want to BE the underdog. But, as the old saying goes, it only takes one bad apple to rot the whole barrel and for those of us dedicated Make-Over and Race fans that've been around since the beginning, we're the new lepers, "reality TV people." The very term "reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With mindless and degrading shows such as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to be a Hilton," programming itself has been degraded and I'm even ashamed to be included in the reality TV watching demographic because everyone assumes each show is like the worst show out there. I feel the pain of soap opera fans everywhere. The folks I see who have followed Luke and Laura and don't want to admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV watchers have been thrown down to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and perhaps that is why it stings. People assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't even defend reality TV anymore, I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race and publicly talk about that other great CBS show, CSI - because that stuff totally happens in real life!

Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the transformation. The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name 'Jack'. The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go go go! Let's rock and roll!' I looked at it and realized that no normal person would ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it defective. As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against mankind's tendency to infringe upon nature. He was screaming 'I'm not going to stand for being dolled up like I have a freaking vagina! I'm a pumpkin for god's sake!' And so I bought him. F REE F IVE 3J9Days1 CYSTIC TANS « F IVE n |U n ^ irni ted ^ K M BX 9R IN*.

This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been located in the Opinion section of the newspaper. The author states as fact the conspiratorial speculations of activist professors. As scary as it is that such non-academics are actually paid by the tax-payer to peddle such ridiculous theory and ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed as fact to the student body. For example, the lead in to the article states "The forum focused on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and I have a problem with an article how Katrina is being considered a man-made disaster." A more honest article would have made it abundantly clear how such beliefs are rather the opinion of a very, very small minority ("minority" referring to segment of the population smaller than 50%... not a person's ethnicity) who have little non-biased data to support their theories. The "Blaming the Victims" section reeks of propaganda and is an obvious attempt to shape the beliefs of an impressionable student body rather than to report facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise made certain assertions—not that those assertions are facts. The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of racism in the United States. However, the only fact that it seemed to accurately portray is that certain professors at CSUSM, who make their livelihood off peddling the perception that white racism is the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists themselves. For instance, in the "White Racism Still Exists" section of the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as saying, "For white students there's a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to their own." This statement, if reported accurately, is demonstrative of the foul stench of racism that is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr. Moon obviously has engaged in an blatant over-generalization about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in fact. Instead, this generalization is obviously, to even the most untrained observer, an ignorant attempt to attribute one person's biased views to an entire population. The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the discussion, and then continues by quoting a student who attributes the mass exodus to the student's inability to deal with what is considered "real" about racism. Could it be, however, that white students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously at the heart of the discussion? Rather than seeking to get to the root ofthe problem (the "problem" referring to the disproportionate number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors were merely there to advocate an extreme, negative and order-line anarchistic approach to dealing with issues that have an alleged racial component. The reader need only refer to the final line of the article: An audience member commented, "we're in college now and this is where we learn to fight. That is what I've learned." Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the "American Renaissance" as an example of the hatred put forth towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being a strong conservative myself, and reading and writing quite often about a number of issues related to race, policy, and government, I found it interesting that an obscure, racist publication such as the "American Renaissance" was being used to portray the beliefs of white people. As a matter of fact, I had never even heard of the "American Renaissance" prior to it being mentioned in the article. Perhaps it is because I do not frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from CSUSM obviously go to get their "facts" on white America. The fact that this online magazine was referred to as a magazine of "conservative white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip- » tion of itself), is hardly accurate in depicting the general c onsent sus beliefs of white conservative Americans. Perhaps this is yet another fine example of professors coming to conclusions and then seeking out facts to meet their pre-conceived-« notions. I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater care in the future to make sure that facts are reported as facts, and ideas, theories, or specula-* tion be reported appropriately. For instance, perhaps when the author reports that Dr. Sharon Elise reports "statistical facts and public misconceptions" she could provide examples of those facts. I would be very interested to see where those "statistics" originate from. Thank you for your time. I look forward to reading a more professional version of The Pride ' in the coming months. Perhaps next month you could take the same exact story and re-print it with all of the races flipped. White would become black and black or African-Amer- * ican would become white. Then read the article again and tell me if it passes the "there's a racist in our midst" smell test.

Later, it is found that the four founders, Castle, Williams, Wayne and Malone of Antonio Island pillaged and murdered the inhabitants of the island with a stale deal. Elizabeth, along with many others, is killed and seeks later revenge on the family members of the founders. A fog comes to the island with seemingly unnatural patterns and carries the pledge, "Blood for Blood." During the movie's latter part, family members Of the founders are systemically killed. The fog finally lifts when Tom Malone is killed for this great-grandfather's treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog. Wainwright unfortunately uses special effects in place of dialog and story. Much of the action is indeed scary but that is only because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of the dialog comes across flat and ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie enables the audience to become emotional involved with the actors and action. In this movie however the audience has a profound detachment from the action as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that some special effects looked a little too unreal and one knew it was a special effect or a poor planned one. While some effects looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and held extraordinary power. The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete story, dialogue, and audience empathy, though some of the special effects dazzled the eyes. The Fog was almost a complete disappointment but it did have its redeeming value.

Former furniture store owners JoAn and Richard McMahan donated $2.3 million to CSUSM to build a 3,800-square-foot meeting and conference center. The facility will be located, on the knoll overlooking the campus entrance with the track field just below the site. The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently seeking to hire an architectural firm. While no official date has been set to begin construction, the planning stages for the facility have already begun. "Our intent is to only use the donation money to build and equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning, Design & Construction. Decker estimates that no public CSUSM funds will be needed for the project. The donation is expected to cover all costs of construction, labor, and the facility's resources. The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen capable of hosting banquets and providing dining services for luncheons or meetings, as well as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology to aid in presentations, lectures, and conferences. The facility will also have a functional manager's office and will "likely be a source of student employment," according to Decker. A planning committee team will be developed to provide input on construction and help with the functionality of the McMahan House. The committee has yet to formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the transformation of this dirt hill into a much needed service. VOL.

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little as 10 days you can put together an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective and current college students can dread the scholarship process due to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing, and all the other aspects of applying for them. Kaplan "Receives a letter or an email every week" from students that have read the book and obtained scholarships. Kaplan said that a student recently wrote in and informed him about "$40,000 in scholarships" obtained. California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a seminar about scholarships and financial aid. The main staples of the seminar were that: if you have a need forfinancialaid for college and you meet the criteria, you can get it; if you want money for college and meet academic criteria, you can get it; and getting the money for college doesn't have to be a long tedious process.

Deondra Hagan braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook with her aunt after the storm damaged her house. Deondra never expected that the hurricane would do so much damage. Her family has lived through storms nearly every year. She went on to explain that the damage was mostly from wind. "We've never evacuated for a hurricane." "It got bad around 3 a.m., the wind was blowing and trees were snapping," said Deondra. She described how the wind tore off the shingles of her house. "I have nothing to complain ¿bout, some people have nothing," said Deondra, "material things come and go, we're glad we are all here and alive." An Executive MBA student from the University of New Orleans, Deondra started Cal State San Marcos' MBApro. gram this semester. Deondra left New Orleans with her two brothers, sister and her grandmother. They are staying at her aunt's house in Bonsai, CA. Her father stayed behind to help repair their and other homes. "I 4ove California," said Deondra. She does not plan to return to Ne\V Orleans and wants to finish her degree at CSUSM. Deondra explained how she had to enroll over email since she did not have transportation to school and back. She went on to say that Cal State San Marcos has been "great" and "a lot of people are working with me." Future goals for Deondra include law school and a career as a sports attorney.

I knew that her experience on campus would be different than mine, so I decided to chat with her and hear some of her stories. Juliet grew up in Santa Monica Beach as the oldest of four in a family of two parents, two sisters and a brother. She went to Santa Monica High School before moving to San Diego, and went to UCSD before coming here to CSUSM. One of the reasons she came to CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled. She said she loves how she can find talking computers, Braille everywhere and a friendly student body. I asked her how one should approach her when they see her on campus and she said she's always open to talk, but that it's extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music, technology, and taking long 12 mile walks with her guide dog Marly, whom she named after the reggae legend Bob Marley. Her major is communications with an emphasis in public affairs. Juliet gradually went blind, due to a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't completely blind until aboutfiveyears ago. She said the hardest adjustment has been transportation, especially in North County. I turned my attention to Marly, Juliet's beautiful golden retriever, and asked if she's always had Marly to help get around. She told me that she actually used cane travel for five years before getting Marly. I asked her about the qualifications to get a guide dog and learned that after she applied people from the service came out and interviewed her. According to Juliet, it's important to have good cane skills, live an active life style, be in good health and able to handle a dog. Juliet is an advocate for the disabled and is President of the Beach Cities Chapter National Federation for the Blind. As she seemed so comfortable with being blind, I asked her if she had known anyone who was blind before she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that she would love to have her eye sight back if she could and told me about a procedure that is still being developed. The doctor implants a computer chip in the retina which takes pictures and sends them to the optic nerve so the brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five years, and even if she does undergo the procedure successfully, she states playfully that she plans to keep Marly. Until then, Juliet maintains a positive outlook on life, which is most evident when she states "even after you're blind, life is still awesome." trade ^mddyow rejmdk^ \ ; 7 v<v 4 "No*Bachste^geóf life is essential for fiMHirtg 0 p r o p e r cycle, / |pigres^^^^ffure' generations" / ¡$i .; I s >( Senior \ - I, > " . . .f^ji % '4 f ' < S lifffp ^ GIob^tAysiness l j l ^ D r • < S ; . ; fep^QBSfl J ohn-Paul Dal Wife.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos' German club hosted the celebratory event, "Oktoberfest", last Thursday in the Library courtyard. Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel in German culture, they invited the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated yearly in parts of Germany. Even before Oktoberfest's scheduled opening at noon, at least 20 students were standing in line, awaiting the traditional German foods. Following the event, I asked German Club Vice President, Jean Scheuneman, what she thought around the Oktoberfest cultural event both as a local and as an international event. FEATURESJ r £ / / \ l UJVjL/ "In Germany, it [Oktoberfest] has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another excuse to go out and drink, but that is not what Oktoberfest is all about. It is a part of German history." According to Scheuneman Oktoberfest originated after the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony. "You could say that it originated from a very long wedding reception that lasted for 5 days. On the last day there were horse races and it officially ended the festival. The decision to repeat the races basically gave birth to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't have the horse races. "Everyone seemed to enjoy what we had going on. People can learn more by going on the TWIN OAKS CLEANERS *Across the street in the I Campus Marketplace AKIVcleaning n i l I SERVICE) T HE PRIDE P hoto b y S hannon S hureman / The Pride Students partake in the Oktoberfest's 'sausauge toss.'

Although this is only the second annual CSUSM hosting of the event, Scheuneman reported that this year "was very successful, even though I had to stand under the hot sun with my costume on. But it was worth it.. .a little over a hundred people showed up...another club officer, Virginia Young, dressed up in traditional Oktoberfest attire...I think it attracted more people over then I had expected." As the German Club provided the bratwurst, ASI helped provided the root beer, among other things. "Diana Wong from ASI created the 'are you a wiener?' toss game and trophies.

In a h elpful exchange with Ms. Wong, she echoed many of the German Club's fond memories. "We had German dancers Bill and Erma Fassel showcase the event. Bill p erformed with his accordion ^and sang authentic G erman songs which Erma sang and danced. The contest "Sausage Toss" was where 10 contestants were randomly picked and given two chances to toss a polish sausage on top of a (root beer) keg that was about 3 -4 yards away. Whoever got them on top of the keg won great p rizes...It was a great game that the participants loved." Scheuneman encourages everyone to attend next year's Oktoberfest, adding that "since Oktoberfest is fairly brand new to San Marcos we can expect it to grow and become an even bigger event next year.** .¿E3B3 MODELS NOW OPEN Ü 11 SAH MARCOS AFFORDABLE, A miNABLE, REMARKABLE; Those are just a few of the words used to describe Carriage Walk.

' $ t f j | | $17.0Q per hour ; Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The artwork of Malaquias Montoya displayed in the Kellogg Library. will remain on display through the fall 2005 semester. In his artist's statement he explains that, "As a Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a reflection of my political beliefs, an art of protest." Montoya's art portrays international struggles within a community, and can be said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that we are not an isolated culture that failed, but that we have a common antagonist that makes it necessary for us to unite. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not read or write Spanish or English. Since 1968, Montoya has lectured and taught at numerous universi- ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12 years, 5 of which he was the Chair of Ethnic Studies department. Montoya has been a Professor at the University of California, Davis since 1989. His classes, through the departments of Chicana/o Studies and Art, include silkscreening, poster making, mural painting, and focus on Chicano culture and history. Montoya's works with acrylic paintings, murals, washes, and drawings, but he is primarily known for his silkscreen prints, exhibited both nationally and« internationally. Also in his artist statement, Montoya explains that "This form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to actively work to transform it. What better function for art at this time? A voice for the voiceless." Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's personal views on art and society. Realizing later that it was not by choice that we remained mute but by conscious effort on the part of those in power, he realized that his art could only be of protest-a protest against what he felt to be a death sentence. Three prominent themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle. The Context Library Series wants students to be exposed to new ways of understanding and experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a venue to contribute to academia as young scholars.

I spent most of my days playing pool and video games with my friends. I knew that I was soon going to grow up to be a sports journalist, so I made the most ofjust being a kid. However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind is if she can make a par-4. The 16-year old amateur officially became a professional golfer last week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals with Nike and Sony which will earn her over $10 million dollars annually. My Uncle always told me that everyone makes the exact amount of money they deserve in this world for their abilities. I tend to agree with that and I am all for getting as much money as you can, but this girl has not won a single tournament in the LPGA and she is already going to be making more money than the veterans on tour. The $10 million that she will be making annually makes it hard for me to feel sorry for her, but I kind of do. Wie should be a sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never get back. I mean some of my greatest memories in life were from the age of 13-17 when I was in high school. She will never get that opportunity to create childhood memories. I believe Tiger Woods put it best when he said at 16-years old he was only concerned about what colleges he was going to apply to. Woods, perhaps the greatest golfer to ever swing a club, has a valid point. Wie needs to grow up and develop her game much like Woods who went to Stanford after high school. People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right of seniors in high school to enter the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because those people are 18-years old when they make that jump. They are allowed to vote and go to war so I see no problem in allowing them to pursue their careers since they are of legal age. I just don't see how the LPGA can morally j ustify letting someone became a professional golfer when she can't even drive the golf cart unless there is an adult with her. I mean I know why the LPGA, Nike, and Sony are behind her. Cai State San Marcos runs strong at UNLV Cross Country Invite Clearly because she is someone that they can market to death, just like the IRL is in marketing heaven right now with Danica Patrick (another person who hasn't wont jack, but because she is attractive, she is a huge draw). Another reason I am not too happy about her declaration of becoming a professional is that she is already taking away press from the great golfers on tour. Wie says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think that would be a shame, because there is literally no way she could win and she would take away so much press from the contenders. You really only have to look at Annika Sorenstám to realize my statement is not sexist. Annika is without a doubt the best Women's golfer in the world and she is even more dominant in her league than Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in difficulty to the Masters. When I turn on Sportscenter I want to see how Annika and Tiger fared in their respective tournaments, not some 16-year old girl who hasn't won anything. Just let her be a child like the rest of us were allowed to be.

The voice of Michelle Nolan introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily, suggesting an unhappiness that is unbearable but hard to pinpoint. The second track, titled 'It Never Gets Easier' provides an explanation to the intro, speaking of a shallow romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk. John Nolan states, "But a strong distaste for confrontation leaves no room for self expression." This phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing offense often occurs in relationships. The most intelligent aspect of the track is Nolan's breaking apart of the word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . .. just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship. Track three's 'Later that Year' shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what sounds like snoring surrounded by an acoustic melody. The melody grows and lyrics speak of bodies BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Images courtesy of Raybeez/Victory Records returned wrapped in flags. Nolan and Nolan then repeat, "We did the math and it wasn't worth it after all" continuously, emphasizing the huge discrepancy between the number of lives lost and the number originally expected. I assume this is geared toward President Bush and the war in Iraq. The following two Straylight Run tracks focus again on the pain of love and then on the pain of war. I sense a major pattern. My favorite line from the latter half of the album is, "Don't you say a word unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed." This shows the irony that comes from one person speaking casually without thought and the other taking the words as gospel. It is possible I am overanalyzing Dolan's words myself. But if I am, I'm sure he would be flattered. The final song is a redo of Bob Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The song is basically seen as a satire on pro-war fundamentalist Christians. It provides a quick history lesson while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war/ This and other remarks would be quite laughable if they weren't so true. I hadn't heard of Straylight Run until recently, but I enjoy their music. Though the new EP lasts less than half an hour, the information within it can keep a person occupied for a lot longer. The stage was set afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday night, Oct. 3, with the musical sounds of Sigur Ros. The Icelandic band has made a return to the U.S. in order to play a small tour. Their performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to their feet. If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a •made-up language called hopelandic. The language is used as another instrument in their already vast array. It is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled with soft and brilliant spoken parts. As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson. The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down. Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they explored a newer musical direction, but still returning to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music.

This is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey) a job offer to his illustrious firm. "We are selling certainty in an uncertain time," Abrams continues. Lang, a former football star with a knee i njury that retired h im, attracts Abrams when he correctly predicts wins for several football games in one weekend. Abrams recruits Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin him in New York. Lang is then lavished with a new image, money, a sports car, $1000 suits, women and even a new name, which becomes John Anthony. At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He becomes " The Million Dollar Man". But as the saying goes, "Everybody's good luck streak has to end sometime." "Two for the Money" reminds me a lot of "Boiler Room," where young men were shaped into hardcore salesmen. They're not selling stock, but are selling themselves, an idea and a dream. Same goes for Abrams and his gambling advising firm. They convince their clients why they should bet on teams through their sales pitch. Abrams and Lang's father/son and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of the film. Abrams suffers mild heart attacks and his marriage is constantly on the rocks. But for him to mold Lang into a younger version of himself, is in a way, making Lang walk the plank, but Abrams doesn't care. The best aspect of the film is Pacino's performance; it makes this film worth seeing. He grinds up any role and makes it his own, as if the screenwriter was writing it specifically for him. I dare you to name one bad Pacino role, you can't because it doesn't exist. His performance definitely makes the movie.

X IV NO. 6 Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus Student vouches for von Son's teaching credentials BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28, following a MEChA meeting to discuss the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department. Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both students of CSUSM, were scheduled to hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was allegedly legally advised not to attend the open forum. The forum was held to discuss whether Carlos von Son, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature, was allegedly "racially discriminated" against through the alleged refusal of his tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son. Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if someone would balance his arguments. According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is allegedly accusing a female professor of sexual harassment and a male professor of unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM faculty have been subpoenaed, denying their ability to speak about von Son, said Yafiez. Yafiez explained that the administrations refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von Son not being a good teacher according to student course evaluations, he does not have enough published works and he does not do community work. The World Language department is focused on Spanish from Spain while von Son stresses Spanish from Latin America, said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez believes von Son shows Mexican litera^ ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of the material taught in the other Spanish classes.

Once the pizza arrived so did the crowd. Over 500 slices of complimentary pizza and drinks were handed out ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct. 6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be the second year our campus has provided activities in observance of this German tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon until 1 p.m.. "Participants will be provided free food and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.' Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill be among the event's entertainment. There has been much speculation from students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a sufficient "root beer keg" would be present so as to abide by dry campus policy.

BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday, Sept. 27, the Green Team and Blue Crew of Cal State San Marcos thanked the students, faculty and staff for their continual efforts and participation in the 2005 National Recyclemania program. CSUSM out-beat 4 6 universities and colleges nationwide including prestigious ivy-league schools such as Har- vard and Yale in the ten week long waste diversion competition, accruing a 43.65 percent recycling rate o f all trash discarded on our campus. At the ceremony honoring the campus's recycling success, President Hayes accepted the 'RecycleMan' trophy on behalf of CSUSM. "Attractive, yet functional," said President Hayes about the trophy.

The woman allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but the administration dropped her case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure. Yanez wants to know why the woman's testimony is so impor- tant to the administration now, when the case is closed. Yafiez has worked closely with von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a New York festival. Being a colleague of von Son's, Yafiez says he supports von Son's method of teaching but not his behavior. To explain the history of von Son's grievances, Yafiez said many female students have complained. He went on to say that many of the sexual harass- ment complaints about von Son have been mentioned on class evaluations. These are not formal complaints and are over looked, but they are written proof. "The denial of his tenure that he's not a good teacher . .. its bullshit," said Yanez. Von Son's CSUSM home page states that he has published five books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony in Mexican Literature." It also states his many community activities including include the fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration on, Oct. 30. According to the CSUSM Web site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an Assistant Professor at CSU San Marcos in the fall of 1997.

(800) 977-7633 — �Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections pushing to amend the California Constitution requiring written notification to the parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated, pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on the minor. According to the Official Voter Information Guide, the initiative would mandate at least a 48-hour ertantne* Compte™ Wallow* Hope; sap Worry. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride You can pick up a voter registration form in front of Commons 207. waiting period after the attending physician has provided parental notification before terminating the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the law with thorough definitions, the most important of which is an abortion, defined by the proposed law as causing "death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born." The intent of the initiative is to provide parents or legal guardians the necessary information to help their daughters with any serious physical complications, emotional trauma or psychological side-effects that may result from the abortion. Proposition 73, which supporters advertise as a 'Parent's Right to Know and Child Protection,' is a divided and controversial issue on the ballot expected to create more of a buzz the closer the election comes. A common misconception regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification equates to consent. However, parental consent is not required for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to have the procedure performed or opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73 argue that the law limits the teen's medical privacy and attempts to legally mandate family communication. Parental notification can be side-stepped. Minors do have the option to seek a court ordered waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or best interests, as determined by a juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without a waiting period in the event of a medical emergency, defined in the stipulations of proposed law as: necessary to prevent "serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" of the mother as result of pregnancy. Under the conditions of the law, violation of these mandates would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons, would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1000. California is not alone in this endeavor; more than 30 other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for minors seeking an abortion. According to the Campaign for Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so unhealthy, involving the parents would cause more problems than it would solve.'" The proposition could ultimately jeopardize the teen, and the Campaign for Teen Safety claims that supporters of the initiative fail to recognize that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's right to an abortion. Rebuttal to the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of Prop. 73] believe government can force teens to communicate with their parents," which is ridiculous. In contrast, A Parent's Right to Know website, challenges the ideology that nothing medically happens to a child without their parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age of 18 can't get an aspirin from the school nurse, get a flu shot, or have a tooth pulled without a parent knowing." Supporters are aware that the abortion measure is a potential wild card that could be a big win for conservative Republicans. College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors to do have a voice to vote, but young adults may easily relate to either the benefits or flaws of this initiative regarding teen abortions. Oct. 2 4 i s the deadline to register to vote. Voter registration cards can be obtained through the ASI o ffice located at Commons 207.

This year will be unique with the Career Expo being a union of both the Graduate/Professional School Fair and Job Fair. "This way students can explore both future career options with employer recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career Center director. The combination is a winning recipe to accomplish two things at once. One hundred and sixteen recruiters are scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending are grad schools recruiters." The Career Center advises students to dress as if they were attending an interview; a suit would be very impressive. If a suit isn't possible, Punch suggests wearing a nice pair Student Prevention Club holds Intervention Event vention, Dr. Scott Poland and the Surgeon General of the United States, Richard Carmona.

Students are further encouraged to leave friends and family behind, enabling attendees to give their full focus on their career goals. The handout also recommends that students display enthusiasm and interest in the organization. Be prepared to ask and answer questions, request a prospective employer's business card, and don't forget to ask if you can contact them in the future. Students should also bring a good attitude, a smile, and a strong handshake, Punch said. If students feel unprepared, Punch informed The Pride of four workshops scheduled to help ease the process.

Shari could well be an authority on the subject. A Liberal Studies student with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must clearly impact the lives of many throughout her community. Shari describes her Cal State San Marcos experience as "long and tough, but very rewarding." Although a politician, Shari is also very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade if I aspired to be a council member," she reflected, "I would have told you 'no'. I ran for council out of necessity." One of the first items Shari placed on the agenda now establishes that the City Council plans, staff reports and back up materials be placed on the city's website 72 hours prior to meetings. cl •.. .. As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and binders now allow everyone access to Oceanside's city government. Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising awareness on affordable housing and focusing on good jobs and sound economic growth. And, if that isn't more than enough, she is working on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an access route alongside the San Luis Rey River and upgrades to other coastal amenities, including new beach access. Shari states, "I love the ocean and access to it. For years I have fought for public beach access and most recently was able to open one that had been concealed from the public for over 20 years. It's awesome to watch people use the access. Before it was open, the closest beach access point was over a mile away." Successful Student Shari Mackin truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember you 20 years later for holding his hand on a field trip when he was a small child.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Students who once found it difficult to get appointments with a writing tutor should be interested to know that, this semester, many-more should be available. The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this latest change. Rest any fears or high hopes of striking writing classes from the required course list; the solution was far less drastic. "At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to come to the writing center nine times, for nine half-hour sessions. The change is that they are still required to take nine tutoring sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from the Writing Center, the other four utilize an online program called 'V-Mentor'. GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before." Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is talk of opening another type of course for tutoring classes of other backgrounds." From its inception in 1991, the Writing Center has always been available to all. If students needing help with science and business classes ever felt edged out, it was certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester by her estimation, "there were so many appointments that students couldn't get in. Now, there are a lot more for everybody." When asked if this was the main motiva- (Learning Assistance?) a student services tion behind the change, she was quick to department, but many campuses, includremind us that, as this is her first semes- ing Colorado state, include them as part of ter as Director, "I didn't actually make the the English department, "which was why change.

Our Writing Center is part of instructions. "It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in LTWR, some professors will get offended that the need for a Writing Center reflects poorly on their ability, which it doesn't at all. But that's something we've always dealt with." Mr. Sebring related to this experience entirely. "At Palomar there were both pros and cons, some professors were supportive and some preferred students not go. I'd assume they'd support it simply because it gives them additional resources." Director Goldwin was also quick to point out that "One of the philosophies behind the center is that the tutor is not an authority on the writing. The tutors are here to.. .help them find a direction. We're here to give feedback, but rarely a definite answer. A tutor should never say 'you're writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to talk about grades." Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt conundrums within the service, those who felt ill-prepared for college writing would hardly be offended to know that many High Schools are establishing services of their own amid the growing number of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's experience students often "won't realize they're having trouble until its way too late. They're in doubt of what's going on, (they don't know) that the center is here, they struggle on when they could have gotten some help."

Sometimes good things happen when you don't deserve them to happen. The San Diego Padres are a perfect example of that. The Padres have won an invitation to the MLB playoffs that start this week because they won the National League Western Division. However, when you look around the league at the teams with significantly better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't deserve a birth to the postseason. If the Padres were in any other division they would havefinishedin the bottom half and talks of playoffs would have disappeared in mid-July. I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World Series since both teams are still alive. I am confident with the Angels making the World Series but the Padres are an entirely different story. The common prediction is that the Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround because they have to face the St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best team in the National League this year and they were the National League Champions last year before losing to the Red Sox in the World Series. However, I can see some rays of hope for the friars. To begin with the Padres won the season series against the Cardinals four-to-three (three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck which means one day he could hit a couple homers, but the next day he couldn't even bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been in a gigantic slump since returning from the disabled list in mid-September. With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat because of two players by the name of Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is arguably the best player in the majors, but he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols doesn't get a chance to do more damage than he is capable. Generally, the person who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds. Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball. The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as menacing as some people think. The Padres fare well against right-handed pitchers and the Cardinals will most likely have a three man pitching rotation of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed Mark Mulder. If the Padres somehow find a way to get past St. Louis then they will face either the Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros. I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta) during the regular season. The Padres only went three-and-four (one-of-four in Houston) against the Astros during the regular season. The Braves are an easily beatable team because they have a weak bullpen and a starting pitching staff that is really built for a long season and not a short five or seven game series. Not to mention the Braves also have a young team that relies heavily on rookies who have no playoff experience. The Astros on the other hand pose the biggest threat because of their starting pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens. Those three guys could be the ace on any team in baseball and as the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins championships." However, the Astros have a weak offense and in the playoffs a team needs to score at least four-runs a game to be competitive. Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey, at least they made the playoffs and I can't wait till next season.

If you guessed the new parking lot behind the under-construction Business building, you were right. It is General Lot H and for the 81 students who discovered it during the early weeks of the semester, it spelled freedom from arriving huffing and puffing after trekking up the hill and the stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100 yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt) and you walk right into either Science Hall (A) or Academic Hall. I noticed an anomaly this week. My "discovery" had become full even by 8:00 (I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel was worth getting up early) and most of the cars were faculty/staff. At the same time, the usually packed faculty lot about another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the purveyors of our education a parking spot that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15 or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park too. Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd better go to the source to find an answer to that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by the Parking Services office and spoke with Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can "talk parking all day." Robert explained that one reason "H" was such a secret is that when it was reported to the "Loop" for e-mail distribution, the only way to read about it was to notice the "Click here for news about parking." Here is an abbreviated version of that report: a) Parking Lot H is temporary and Photo by Shannon Schureman / The Pride will eventually be part of a larger project to accommodate at least 1200 cars for General H parking lot located behind the new business building.

A bar on campus could help with student safely BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Special to The Pride reasons why we should have a bar at Cal State San Marcos. The first is due to the f act that C S U S M i s p rimarily a c ommuter With all the construction planned in CSUSM's future, how about building a place for students to relax after class, a place to ease the tensions of exams - a bar? Now, it's true that this suggestion appears to fly in the face of the polices toward alcohol that the campus has put forth in recent years, yet there are good college, where people come, go to class, and leave. An on-campus bar would make a great place for students to interact and get to know each other. N o matter what you may think of bars personally, for many people they are places to relax - or pick up a date - and it would be nice to have a place that students could go, have a drink, LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help yourselves! leader from SDSU expressed an On September 25, 2005 the idea that helped me cope with the CSUSM Lobby Corps assembled aforementioned "get out the vote" at San Diego State University ideas.

The second reason we should have an on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough has to do with many of the concerns that the campus has recently expressed over the drinking habits of the student body. Cal State San Marcos was one of a number of state campuses to receive a substantial grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing alcohol abuse among students. With the money received from the grant CSUSM plans to identify the drinking habits of students when o ff campus and especially in the surrounding community. Although the somewhat shadowy details of this ongoing plan seem more than a bit intrusive into the outside lives of students, its ultimate goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is an important one, especially as CSUSM continues to grow. A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San Marcos could regulate negative incidents related to drinking by having a bar on campus. Students Would not have to travel * elsewhere to drink after class, which is a What i key safety issue. A bar on campus could also limit the number of drinks a student could have and would ensure that an only twenty-one and up age group was allowed access. Students are going to drink no matter what, so you might as well have them do it where there can be actual control and regulation. The current alcohol policy at CSUSM expressly prohibits the possession or sale of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having a bar on campus would have to be approved by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many colleges that actually have such establishments on campus. It is unfortunate that drinking has attracted such negativity about it when it comes to college students, and having a bar on campus is going to be controversial no matter how you present it. Yet the idea of having an on-campus bar at Cal State San Marcos is not without some merit. What do you think? schra009@csusm.edu �OPINION Who wears the pantsP Who you callin' lazy?

SABLAN Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, October 4, 2005 BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The day is at its start and I arrive at class five minutes past scheduled commencement and my instructor, glares at me as i f to say "You lazy child. To MY class you must always be on time," to which I return a glance of my own in a silent but credible rebuttal. I seat myself and my mind starts to register as now it is ten minutes past, and a classmate leans over to ask "Are you all right? You look tired." My friend, my fatigued state is only the tip o f the iceberg that is my life. I belong to the population of students everywhere whose responsibilities consume beyond 100% of their available time. I've bit o ff more than I can chew and condemned myself to imprisonment within my busy schedule. If not punching someone's time clock to assist in brainstorming and punctuation at my day job, I'm dwindling away the evening hours answering phones and closing service tickets on my night job. If not studying the effectiveness of small group communication in the morning, I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the afternoon, and working for The Pride at night. During the week I am a tutor, mentor, and scholar and on weekends I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to confiscate a slice of my own free time, my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it. For what do I work so hard for? Why the incessant need for struggle? Well... Because if I carry 18 units now and 18 in the spring I can graduate Because my gas needle seems to always fall on empty Because certain classes in my major aren't offered next semester Because my Jetta won't pay for itself Because the writing center needs tutors Because I went over my cellular plan's minutes last month Because certain classes in my minor aren't offered next semester either Because my GPA cannot fall below Dean's List standards Because...I made my bed and I now must lay in it. If God won't put more on us than He knows we can handle, He must think I'm Wonder Woman. Snap back to my early morning incident where I'm put on display as a slacker of a student, if only some people knew the half. Some, a very few, actually do. To these students, I salute your commitments to jobs, organizations, families, and other pass times while simultaneously keeping school a priority.

Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face. As this time around the San Diego audience was a bit fickle. At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans seemed indifferent towards these talented bands. Wait, I take that back. One circle pit attempted to create a following. Maybe it's because the Tuesday night concert-loving crowd was thinking about work or school in the morning but there was much to be appreciated at this show. Before I get to the bands, let me note the production crew did a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night. The Weezer set was exceptional because everything was over the top. Lighting switched focus from the band to the audience and back again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé stage. One, a giant version of the cover art from the band's latest album "Make Believe," the next exemplified a starry night and last was the Weezer "W" flashing in golden lights. It was quite a change from the Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't have much flash or pizzazz, but it did have heart. Watching them is like watching an old punk rock video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was excited to hear such songs as "I predict a Riot" and "Oh My God" performed. Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson. I was pleased with their performance. Weezer was a disappointment, with newer songs "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs" just doesn't do it for me. They seem too shallow to be coupled with Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what kept me entertained. I personally would not suggest seeing Weezer in concert. After a much anticipated wait came Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor Hawkins). Grohl was all about audience interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and jumping all over the set, he gave a shout-out to a particular fan that went on stage and exposed his balls at a previous San Diego concert. He even encouraged a repeat of the stunt. Though a fan made it on stage, he didn't listen to Grohl's instructions. The Foo Fighters were a great treat and Grohl even stated he wanted to perform more shows in our country's finest city.

Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was able to get this program started with an internship with 11 companies. The major is needed because the market research and the leaders of the Biotech industry need well prepared graduates in lab and business. The Biotech program not only includes the internship, but also guest lecturers and mentors from the Biotech industry. Kern stated that he does not know how many students will actually Local vendors have a chance to liven things up in front of the library at the Cal State San Marcos Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Department's 8th Annual Health, Wellness and Safety Fair, on Thursday Sept. 29 froi$ 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The health fairs will have a plentiful assortment of freebies and handouts.

"Hopefully more students will find out more about it by next semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The courses required for this major range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and Managerial Accounting. Kern was interested in starting up this new major here at Cal State San Marcos because of his personal experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry for a little over 25 years before he came to CSUSM. Working for a large multinational and start up company, Kern was also able to hire and manage many people. All he wants now is to share what he has learned. "There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in a laboratory," said Kern when asked what are the possible TEACHERS, TUTORS NEEDED Club 72 is currently seeking tutors in Temecula/Murrieta/Escondiclo/Ramona/ Poway/Rancho Bernardo/ San Marcos/ ( ^sbad/Enckitas & O ceansuk • Watilile fours and great pay • One~on~one tutoring • A ll subjects and grade levels careers one might get from getting this degree. There are many jobs beyond the lab that involve science and require the understanding of it. Kern also said that graduates with this degree would be able to find a job very easily, especially down here in San Diego since it is rated as the number one cluster in the biotech industry. If someone earns his X)t her degree in the biotech field, they wouldn't have to travel very fartofinda great career. "Science is a creation of new knowledge, and technology is the application of it," said Kern. He hopes many more students who are interested in science will be able to take advantage of this new major. Kern is extending an invitation' to the campus to anyone interested in gaining more knowledge about the biotech field.

It did not take him long to realize that he wanted all the profit. Through perseverance and high ambition, Bentley took the knowledge gained in mobile car detailing and manipulated it to suit his business. Bentley was the owner operator of Bentley Mobile Detail; a company which he based out of FREE North County. Bentley has a core group of cliental that he meets at their convenience. Of Bentley's many high-end clients, the former executive of General Motors is included. ' Bentley focused on corporate clients and had enough to stay busy.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they dashed about to get the new episode filmed on schedule. Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option. Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant director on site, our campus had a "good look for the director." George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to speak with the Pride about his experience filming amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've (administration) been very helpful on everything we've needed." Even though our campus is both the youngest and smallest public university in San Diego County, he also stated that his approaches "pretty much a basic for everything, from houses tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^ that facilitates all of our needs." As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed unconcerned regarding any potential interference. Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1. Yes." " "Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday evenings on UPN. Catch Eye BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer , I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as students to examine media from a "critical" perspective.

Ann Helsig sits in the very front of my class and on at least every other opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture. Her intriguing ideas often compliment my own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann, and the first "Catch Eye'. Through the conversation I learned that she is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been inspired by her visits to Morocco and South America. During the course of our 15 minute conversation she finished off two cigarettes of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling me that her life is committed to "affecting real change," at which I smiled gratefully. I'm now so glad that I took the time to get beneath the surface of my insightful and mystifying classmate.

Jake Peavy for example who helped organize an event on September 10 at Petco Park. The Padres were playing a day game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so Peavy and the Padres held a fundraiser at Petco Park where people could come watch the game while participating in the relief effort. My buddy Matt suggested I write about how sports can act as an outlet of relief for the people in New Orleans. Louisiana State University was forced to move their home football game against Arizona State University from Baton Rouge to Tempe, AZ. While the game was going on in Tempe, thousands of students went to the Baton Rouge stadium to watch the game on a big screen just to take their minds off the tragedy. LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell is one person that looks forward to game time on Saturday. He has allowed roughly 20people, including R&B legend Fats Domino, to stay in his apartment, because all of them have lost their homes. For the few hours that he is on the football field he has the chance to have a normal life again. Sometimes people lose sight that athletes are people too, because they are constantly under a microscope. However, seeing the way many athletes have responded t o help the relief efforts makes you realize that these people do have a heart. Don't forget, just because you might not have the means that some of the athletes have, doesn't mean you can't help the relief effort. Any praise, criticism, or article suggestions can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride I will be honest; I had some trouble coming up with a column topic for this week. I wanted to write something on Hurricane Katrina in regards to the sports world. So, I bounced around some ideas in my head, but in the end I always came back to my opinion that sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf Coast. In an attempt tofindsomething else to write about I asked different people for column ideas. After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered and every single one of them suggested something in regards to Hurricane Katrina. My Uncle Rene told me to write about the different sports teams that are being displaced and how they have to play entire seasons on the road. The New Orleans Saints have moved their headquarters to San Antonio to try and regain some normalcy to their lives. Their entire season won't be played in front of a home crowd because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before kickoff. The New Orleans Hornets will also be playing an entire season on the road when the NBA season starts up. They will be calling Oklahoma City home for 35-of-41 games, with the other 6-games being played Free 3 Months ; No Set-up Fee t No Obligation MAILBOX Wrth Current CSUSM { RENTAL y Student/Facuity/Staff ID i Regular Price $ J0/Month Thereafter in Baton Rouge. The athletics at Tulane University are taking a big hit as well. The university is canceling the cross country season this fall while members of the football, basketball, and other teams are enrolling at universities like Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Rice. My friend Chantal told me to write about all the different athletes helping to raise money. For example, the telethon that took place on Monday, September 19 during the Monday Night Football double header. The telethon included many former and current NFL superstars such as Donovan McNabb, John Elway, and Howie Long answering telephones. Local athletes who were born in the Gulf Coast have been heavily involved in the relief process.

Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the obvious answer. Wrong!!! People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean, healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel better when I attempted to quit, end of story. Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and others like me would be forced to change. Wrong again!!! If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way, but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus? Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug? Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows, your habit or shortcoming could be next. ! ¡21111 < " ; 'i < " • i g f e i V Sä ' 4 ft life 1 ' i """ -1 <• ®iai«BiiiiiiiiSii SMOKE BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that people are more apt to kill themselves than each other. If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder. I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens. There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts. The smoker. There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent. In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and should be reserved for those with genuine special needs. I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say, however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves with such things. It seems pretty masochistic. If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging? At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention. If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't very romantic. �•bnmhnshì • • • • • • - l i l i ^¡ ¡ ^ p M M P i ^ I M M ^ M I S H B M l H -I M i ^^B • • • ^• • • I JM É t B | ^ ^ • |i ^ W Äl-^teS^^i^ B y p w ^ ^ W SH^fôffiSSS^fo*1 ¿M—t M* 'îJÊÎÏÈÊtlMI.liÊ.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Time is valuable, in-valuable for never being so infinite as we pretend to promise. This goes doubly for time alone, no matter what you do with it, or what it does to you. In between a little of both I've been fortunate enough t o have had friends, even f amily, that I could confide in. Yet, the type of relationship, the type of bond, the one whose absence tempts loneliness no matter how many surround you, no matter how complete your retreats, this has eluded me for the majority of my young adult life. Whether or not unusual, it certainly isn't unfair. I've never had proportions worth a second glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the gauntlet from intimidating back to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous) libido with an inflated tongue in a spiteful head and it seems silly that I bothered blaming too much time between chances, citing atrophy as I boiled away in my own juices, bitter and dry. There's no sympathy to be earned in this, only small wonder that I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations, yet still had enough ego left over for a sense of wasted capacity. I had all this going for me when, over the summer, I fell in love. it's usually an excuse to buy shit. I've seen no relationship, save my parents', stand the test of time, and I have no reason to believe any type of forever is ever guaranteed. 'She and I ' fell in love. And what would I have done had I not retained those punctuating moments of optimism and life-praising vulnerability? And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a thing? I'd say 'be careful what you wish for', but I don't believe in wish-granters, or external-fate for that matter. I don't buy into some magical force swooping down to turn dull, fickle livestock into living embodiments of devotion and goodness. I don't buy love as d oesn't make a damn bit of d ifference on how d eep • in it. we are.

Last week, I dropped my entire evening, drove the twenty miles, and raced through the grocer for soup and Popsicles (The good ones! Only 'Buyer's' for my baby!) at her mere suggestion of illness. She makes a servant and a real man of me whether she knows it or not and it scares me alive. I'm in love whether I deserve it or not, so I might as well like it. Sharing it, though, is another matter. How beautiful? How sweetly and intensely matched? That's something for me to know and you to dream about. By 'share' I mean how difficult it is to keep up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now' sums it up nicely. Forget the formulas and forget the idea that bitterness makes you any more attractive (or protected) than living in a hole. Frankly, you shouldn't even be fishing for this kind of thing. Better to prepare for it like a nuclear strike. I still don't know what we'll do with each other, we know this kind of connection is too rare to let inflate into infatuation, but finding time to have sole reign over my presence; it isn't easy when her absence confronts me before I can even get the car door open. Worrying about the have-have not of it aside, there are still some who would abstain, thinking it easier or more spiritually pure. They're the ones that deserve pity, not me, not you, no matter how lonely or loathsome we become. When it comes down to it, I'd spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than that found in the arms of human love'. I don't deserve it, so there's no reason you can't have it.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer / v If you hesitated to fling yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances are high that you, like myself, suspected a capitulation to the Celluloid Barons f or more mall merchandise. Perhaps you were so impressed by "The Nightmare Before Christmas", whether you saw it as a result of its sleeper success, or were lucky enough to catch it at the theater...over a decade ago (now who's feeling closer to the grave) that you now fear a gigantic let-down. Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown. Not a gigantic one, any way. Fans of stop-motion should certainly make time for the big screen experience. As digital animation rapidly becomes more life-like, and more cost-efficient, those of us who grew up with "Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse Bride" can boast, above all, some of the most expressive characters I've ever seen, including those counted among 'live' actors. Even when the proportions aren't believable, the 'puppets' in this feature are always life-like, My highest hope was to count another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who avoid musicals, but alas, the music is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse Bride" come from the opening and back-story numbers, both of which are passable on tlieir own, but simply sad when compared to "The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still haunts me. There are impressive piano-playing moments, but the few remaining songs are merely dialog rhymed into passé melody by tone-deaf characters best left as walk-ons. The overall plot remains a few steps ahead of predictable, no farther than the genuinely clever laughs stay ahead of the corny gags. Considering how long it takes to animate a single movement, and considering how the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch the narration, it seems wrong to merely call it 'too short'. Still, for all its dealings with 'love', the angles of the story's trian- Photo courtesy o f Warner Bros. gle didn't have much time to get under each others'skin. For those deprived souls who have yet to see either "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh " quite cut it as a progression.

Street fair returns to community Adults and children reach out to t he local art society BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Get ready folks because the 8th annual San Marcos Alive Street Fair is coming to town on Oct. 2. Festivities will begin at 10:00 a,m and last until 4:00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center on San Marcos Boulevard, between Mission and Rancheros Roads. The San Marcos Community Service Department is throwing the event in order to send out the message that art is for everyone.

So grab the family, and your paintbrushes, and head down to the San Marcos Alive Street Fair where you may get in touch with your inner artist. �Images courtesy of Touchstone Pictures BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Jodie Foster, the queen of thrillers does it once again in "Flightplan." Here she plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion * engineer who has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter from Berlin to New York. Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing child. When no one reports the child being seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every cabin, bin and the access point beneath and above the plane. When Julia isn't found, everybody begins to believe that Kyle is delusional. Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no record of her checking in and the morgue reports says she was killed along with her father/With hef options running out, she acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of the plane to conduct her own search. Don't worry there's a twist, which of course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you though, that it starts with an intriguing premise on the psychological genre but ends up somewhere over the rainbow. Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room," is always able to hold back her emotions just an inch. If she wanted to, she could follow through. She has mastered • the facial expressions. For example, she could be smiling but you still see fear or doubt in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents seem wasted in their small roles; I would have liked to see their characters play a bigger part in the movie. Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances. Kanye West's 'Late Registration' BY CARISSA GOAD Pride Staff Writer The latest member of the music world that almost everyone has something to say about, regarding the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation. Kanye West dropped his second album last week, premiering at number one, with 860,000 albums sold. "Late Registration," takes on a whole new sound then what is being played over today's radio waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead of music that was driven by sound beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and soul. Among my favorite songs on the new album include "Roses and Diamonds," which give the album a softer more feminine vibe. Others with a more feel good and get up to shake your booty j ams like, "Gold Digger" and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also attacks political issues and ideas in such songs as "Crack Music" and "Addiction." He came up with controversial ideas but he had to rely on others to help covey and portray this notorious lyrical content. He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common, The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "Kanye West steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder and claims the whole world of music as hip-hop turf." I listen to this entire album and agreed that Kanye is not j ust trying to be another hip artist, but rather revolutionize hip hop in another direction. Producer Jon Brion really gave Kanye what he needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."

See CONSTRUCTION, page 3 Craven Hall to get face l ift Renovation to focus on office space and organization BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer With the completion of the Markstein Hall, formerly known as the Business Building, construction at CSUSM will shift elsewhere. A number of projects are scheduled to be underway as of early 2006, including additional parking spaces and the construction of a licensed day-care center for children up to age five. Yet the most anticipated project to begin with the New Year will be the renovation of the 1, 3, and 4floorsof Craven Hall. Plans for the renovation have been in the works for a number of years, with the money for it being allotted from Proposition 55, which provided finances for the renovation and improvement of schools statewide. Among the improvements being planned with the renovation is the creation of a "one-stop shop" in the old library where students can register, pay Sundance Channel comes to campus PAGE 4 See CRAVEN, page 3 Sign up today far intramural sports PAGE 7 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride "Lard Of War" movie review PAGE 12 �Pi^Bride £ Editorial staff g |¡ Editor-in-Chief MekELe^ Layout Design & Fbotò Editor I*$m Encabo Hews Editor ¡1 Features Editor ZacharyJ.

TURNER Pride Staff Writer Managing Bditor J IR$Q»EÉINÍ L /5 Voter registration BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration will be held at least two days a week leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The goal is to increase student voting. Members of the committee have also planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information guides, for non-partisan educational materials from the Secretary of State. Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students to vote and will be out on campus every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to reach the goal, which is "a match of last years total," said Joe Wager, Public Relations Director for Lobby Corps. Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways of reaching voters." According to ASI, Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus." Volunteers are welcome, as they hope to expand the voter registration program to more days per week. Call (760) 750-6001. Among recent turbulence in Supreme Court and discussion of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two on-campus events this week discussing the Constitution. The events are a part of a new CSU Constitution education program requirement and also to commemorate this past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17). According to Cheyenne Barr, CSUSM Director of Women's Issues for the ASI Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN laborated on this effort and "came together to discuss how we [as a school] could put on events to publicize the Constitution."

Williams said he harbors no ill feelings towards the officers involved in his stop and subséquent arrest. "I feel sad for them, I pray for them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers adding, "I'll never forget what they did, but I forgive them." When asked if the police department was going to offer an official apology to Williams, Woodard said no. Woodard added he would like the campus community to know, "Were going to continue what we've always done, this case was an aberration that had little if anything to do with the conduct of officers in this department." Williams says he plans to, "focus on school, graduate, and sign with a record label." "Its time for people to start questioning," said Williams adding, "Racism is still alive in America." When asked about the implementation of recommendations for change within the police department Woodard said, "We're going to improve communications with the community we serve, and we have a lot of that in place already. You're going t o see more of us, not more in numbers, but see us more often, and we're going to start programs like the citizen academy, to have people come over and see what we do."

CA 92008 ; �CONSTRUCTION, from page 1 The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within the San Marcos helped enact the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve ridges have been identified as being scenically important for preservation, including those visible along Twin Oaks Valley Road and towering above Cal State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited to certain types of architecture and design that blends in with the surrounding natural landscape, as well as being denied the right to build multistory structures. Building projects also have to be built significantly below visible ridgelines, with future projects barred from within 100 feet of guarded ridges. Among those projects under way to preserve the scenic views around San Marcos is a proposed recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San Marcos. The proposed park would encompass Discovery Lake with nearby South Lake, linking the two currently undeveloped areas by way of a 100-acre park. With development set to begin in the next five years, the park would ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of San Marcos' most scenic ridges will also be included in the project. Cal State San Marcos has yet to be contacted by those in charge of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi- CRAVEN, from page 1 for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier access through Craven Hall and an improved courtyard are all on the agenda for this renovation. "It's going to be kind of messy f or a while," said Bradly Fenton, the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly." Students may find many of the offices they were familiar with in Craven Hall elsewhere during spring and fall of 2006, but the RUSH, from page 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Perspective of business building construction from inside, nance, according to Decker, who notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to change any plans." Still, Pecker's organization has an interest in preserving the scenery around the campus. For example, the NCTD was denied permission by Cal State San Marcos to build a 30-foot tower on one of the peaks near campus since it would be an eyesore. Looking to the future, Decker says that at the moment there is an intention to put trails leading from the campus to the tops of nearby peaks. "It would be great if they were integrated," said Decker of the speculative future trails at Cai State San Marcos and the trail system being developed between Discovery Lake and South Lake. When finished, CSUSM will encompass over 300 acres of land with enrollments in the vicinity of 25,000 students. Such growth will continue to bring the campus into association with local projects in San Marcos. improvements are intended to outweigh such inconveniences. Although the main renovations will be focused on the offi<^ space and organization of Craven Hall, Fenton says that the interior in general will also be upgraded and will be comparable to the inside of the new Library. Plans for the renovation of began back in 1998 but it takes "at least 4 years [to obtain] funds," said Fenton. The Craven Hall project is set to begin in March 2006 and last through October of that year.

A new blue and white flag completes the high flying trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall. Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney, a resource analyst for CSUSM, both took time out to talk with the Pride about this new addition to our campus. When asked how the decision was made to put the flag up this semester, Moore explained, "We had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no flag... [We] always felt it would be good to have aflagbut there were blocks... funding, responsibility and maintenance. Spring last year we had the funds." Some of you may be wonder, why the cougar, our mascot, does no appear on the flag. As Moore explained, "There was only one design. The cougar is a 'spirit mark', not the University's symbol." The new flag consists only of the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our [the university] identity beautifully." According to Courtney, six flags were ordered at the cost of $284 a piece (plus shipping), however, the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the flags came from university funds and an ASI donation of $1,000. As it's currently planned, the university police will maintain the presence of the flags. Although theflagshave the potential to last up to six months in good weather, the idea is to replace it every semester, but there are no known plans to update the image. Fhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride Council to unify organizations for support Cultural umbrella will provide opportunity for students to congregate BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The Multicultural Student Leadership Council (MSLC) is a club on campus implemented in order to unify all other clubs on campus. The organization is inviting all other clubs on campus to form an umbrella of clubs and unite in order to promote culture understanding and address social, racial and gender-based related issues. The objective is to unify and enable What students to participate as well share differences. "In the past there has been a communication problem between clubs, there's almost been rivalry between clubs, we need an organization like MSLC in order to provide a great unity on campus." said Shawnda Dorantes the former president of Triota (academic society m women studies). She believes that it is important for all of the organizations on campus to have unity in order for the campus to reach its highest if I'm being the largest and most successful on campus. Unification is something that many campuses have strived to accomplish. This club seems to provide the answer for many students looking to collaborate. The MSLC is going to have an information night Sept. 22 at 5:00 p.m. In University Hall 101 for those interested in attaining more information; you can also contact Alexis Montevirgen by e-mail at amontevi@csusm.edu Craven Hall 4110. preanan m a k e i n f o r m e d*,f h ealts W S c onfident c holo •IIM^L Jf*^ potential.

The toughest games this season include road games in New England, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis. Home games that worry me see us face the Steelers and the greatly improved Chiefs. Even if they lose some of those games, it will only prepare the team for the playoffs because chances are they'll run into these teams when it comes down to elimination time. I don't think the Chargers will win the division due to their schedule, but I think they will finish second in the division behind the Chiefs, earning a wild card berth. The factor that prevented us from advancing further in the playoffs wasn't simply a Nate Kaeding field goal wide right, but a team unprepared for playoffs after a light schedule. If we can get through this more brutal gauntlet with about 10-wins, I can see the Chargers making a run at the Super Bowl. On that note, don't dismiss me as some delusional fan, because you might remember last season when I predicted the Chargers would lose in the first round because of inexperienced rookies.. .cough, cough, Nate Kaeding, cough. crmmmmapm season MSH I^Ä^tt^itt^oö ' £ Í W !

Roommates, friends, and students of all skill level are able to join together on teams of seven. All intramural teams are coed, including flag football which begins on September 23. At least one female must participate on each team. Touchdowns are even worth double if scored by a female. Even though the season starts next week, it is not too late to organize a team. There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you. Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up and coming sports that the CSUSM athletic department has in store for students. To sign up for an intramural sport you can either organize a team orflysolo as a free agent and be assigned a team.

I found myself very intrigued by most articles and the movie review; however, I found the letter to the editor written by Erika Callahan to be utterly disatisfying. Once again, we have people complaining abdut less important issues in this world. I mean, come on, the city of New Orleans is now a giant swimming pool and millions are dead but all you can think to complain about is how your veggie burgers are grilled? Get a CLUE! The majority of the school's population I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they sell hamburgers and meat of all kinds. It's quick, simple, and CHEAP. We must not forget about the cost here. Maybe the Grill doesn't use the "left side of the grill" because it saves on gas and electric or because that would take longer to clean (meaning paying for more labor hours). Obviously the school can't have a selecton of organic food due to cost as well unless of course we want to add ANOTHER fee to our tuition so now the vegans can be happy! You say, for now you will be "brown-bagging it", well maybe you should just continue with that. Save your money, for more important things like the supply of non withered lettuce and organic tomatoes that you keep in YOUR refrigirator. If all you can find to complain about is the non vegan friendly food at our school, then I say CSUSM is doing pretty well for it self. Try worrying about more important issues like the millions displaced in New Orleans who would love to endulge in those nice fatty grilled hamburgers that are served in the Dome. Just think, you have SOME choices (as you pointed out) and true, I wouldn't want to eat the same thing over and over again everyday, but just think of the poor kids in New Orleans who haven't eaten for five days. No one is forcing you to eat at the Dome so stop complaining about the inevitable and get on with your life!

They meet nightly, sometimes hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the while recruiting new members to join the fold. Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united states, and preying upon the innocent minds of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie, that encourages the humblest teen to take on the most base and self-indulgent online persona they can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace. Rather than go through the formidable task of live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee. A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting place, where users create and maintain their own personal profiles, complete with photos, personal information, music, and more. Bands have pages too, as do clothing companies and night clubs. In addition to personal pages, users can create and join various groups of every description; become a virtual groupie of your favorite band, or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City" groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and "Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group "New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members). In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our individuality while adhering to a well defined structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users can "comment" on one another's posted photos, and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for "friends" to comment (read compliment) their newest and most captivating offering to the pic pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions, wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the pseudo model. It would appear to the casual observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires, all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas. What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real" people are collectable as trading cards, never look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila. In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where lies the line between what is real, and what is wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so that we can once again pretend that the monsters do not live under our beds? Thank you. Erica Ruchman literarure and writing ruchm002@csusm.edu BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer On the list of preparations for an upcoming semester, the prospect of setting aside even MORE money for parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let me just say this, I was all but thrilled to see a $90 increase for next semester's parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams, coordinator of business operations & technology, I understood the fees were predetermined. "Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from the parking permits] goes back to building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot [we] finished [was] behind the Business Building." Talk of the parking on campus always brings up carpooling. The idea of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in once place, work in a totally different place, and commute anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to school. Even if there are commuting students in the same area, their hours will be as different as the male and female mind. I find myself laughing with students who suggest renting driveways from homeowners near campus or a parking spot from the local churches at $75 or even $150. Some suggestions are rather witty, though, such as finding several students who have a similar school schedule and buying Palomar parking permits and then splitting the cost of a single carpool permit from CSUSM. The idea being the carpoolers park at Palomar and then cram into one car to get to San Marcos and then drive back to. Palomar after class so students can go home or to their jobs. File photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride I'm certain there will be some really intricate plans put in motion to avoid the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make anyone walk further to get to class, but parking in the dirt is still going to be a drag. Of course, I look forward to what the creative rebels will think of when parking passes $300. (Just imagine!) One experience of Katrina Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH Special to The Pride After a weary two weeks in Gulf Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride online news about CSUSM making a difference in the lives of so many down here. I graduated in December 2001 and remember having my CSUSM friends and faculty as support when we were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad to hear that everyone is still supporting each other and making a difference in other communities. I am a California native, but moved three years ago. Here in Mississippi and Louisiana there are so many people needing help yet too devastated to know how to ask for it. Although I have sustained only minor damage to my home and time, I hope that I can express to you how much pain there is here. It's not just something to watch on the news. These are people that may have lived in your neighborhood before moving here, and if not they are still your neighbors. Out of shock, I remained glued to the television for thefirstfew days. I waited to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given tremendously, but there are long term effects to be considered. Even after Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild. Even at the northern tips we still have to boil our water as the whole grid went down. Even turning off the news, there's no escape from the stories. I work in the Department of Art at the University ofMississippi. I've spent what little free time I have working at the Katrina Resource Center as well as fostering a dog from New Orleans and helping coordinate a benefit art sale. I met a woman last week I'll never forget. She walked in, obviously shaken, trying to say she was from New Orleans, but just started shaking and crying. It was difficult even to get her supplies, she kept apologizing for having to ask for help and kept trying to explain to us that she is a working person, she had a job, but it was washed away. Finding what gas there was, she eventually made it to Oxford and a relative after a few days, normally this drive takes four to five hours. The stories that are the worst are from people who watched their loved ones wash away or floating their loved ones dead bodies down the street to get to a hospital to keep their corpse safe. I can't feel good about giving money or working at a shelter knowing how many others haven't even begun to make it somewhere that resembles a home and those who never will because help didn't come in time. At the end of the day, exhausted and broke, the little relief I can give still just leaves me hollow but I hope that if everyone does something, at some point it might be more than enough. So many are doing as much as they can and them some, but then there are others who say "others are giving" or "I don't have any time or money to spare" and it makes you wonder. I mean, there are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to volunteer, but people can't be bothered to buy a case of water that could save the lives of people in their own state, in their own country? �Sundays at the BLVD BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer "Champagne mimosas brunch served at The BLVD in San Marcos?" Exactly what I said when I stumbled across the club's ad for The Sunday Brunch Buffet. Though skeptical, I was very interested in trying it. I'm sure you have either heard about or experienced first hand The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike other nightspots they have much more to offer than just the typical bar scene. Lively or relaxed, The BLVD is the perfect place to mark a special occasion with family or friends. When I entered, I was greeted by an employee and told I could sit anywhere. I took notice of the interior - a casual and student-friendly sports bar. If you're a sports fan, The BLVD showcases 17 televisions with a variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with current scores. The BLVD Sunday brunch offers eggs, bacon, sausage, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, beans and cheese, spaghetti and of course cheesy potatoes. On the fresher side of things crab claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins, and fresh green salad were available. To top it all off, the omelets were amazing. Made to your personal liking, your choice of fillings include: mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Next to the omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime rib and pork roast ready to slice and serve. The BLVD's Sunday brunch offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be sure not to go home hungry. The service was outstanding and the entire staff was attentive to my needs with down to earth friendly attitudes. The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of those upscale brunches at the Four Seasons that you have to dress up for. You can actually wear jeans and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch. The BLVD Sunday brunch costs $17.95 but students receive $5 off with a student I.D. You can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to stumble out of bed after your crazy Saturday night of f un and try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch. All American Rejects rock Westfield mall BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer On Saturday Sept. 17, in the parking lot of their Escondido mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted a live performance by The All American Rejects. The gathering crowd was filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage with their dreadful new songs and some more acceptable old material. The show lacked the a dvan- tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer desperate to hold notes he couldn't have reached if he'd sold his soul. Otherwise, the band has a decent place in the pop heart. Despite seeming to conform to Corporate America by playing at a huge mall, they tried (and failed) to retain a punk image. With the terrible riffs of new songs like "Dirty little Secret", the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls. Stick- Image courtesy of Doghouse Records ing to their roots and making the album more about themselves would have been a good way to go, but oh well.

With a modest cast of 13 diversely talented members, the production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. The musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" is a dark satire, based on a struggling urban flower shop that rises to the top with the fame of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows, so does the plant, becoming more and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many strange and unusual events " This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique ways. Much applause is given to lead actress/director, Noelle Marie Kerr for her powerful vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition to the stage talent, the musical had its own four-piece house band. Yet another notable attribute about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly acclaimed by its audience. "It was wickedly funny and well performed. Even in the midst of technical difficulties when the character Audrey got her microphone caught on a prop, the cast quickly adapted to the scene modification," said, Cassie Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance. Pumped full of quick-witted humor, "Little Shop of Horrors" was full of sarcasm and mockery. Comedy kept the audience on its toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From the moment the lights dimmed, the audience was well aware that this production would be anything but normal; "...please keep all hands and arms inside the auditorium..." This absurd humor carried throughout the production until the final scene when a captive audience member soon became the next helping of plant-food. If you missed this musical, you clearly missed out on some great entertainment for less than the cost of lunch. The cast and crew of "Little Shop of Horrors" are all members of the CSUSM Take Stage Ensemble; a theatrical group of students, alumni, and local musical theater performers. Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done. �Z A i OC E & J_y THE PRIDE Spice it u p w ith P epper BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer "Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?" To some of you this verse from the popular Pepper song "Give It Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock to others. Let me tell you, after attending Pepper's performance at the San Diego House of Blues on Friday evening, it is safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon is growing. I was first introduced to Pepper a few years ago while living in Hawaii. The boys that make up the band originated from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find out more about this band that was being echoed through every surf shop from downtown Waikiki to the North Shore. With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made waves not only in Hawaii but all across the mainland as well. I've followed Pepper's tour throughout southern California over the past couple years. They've played at various venues such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes' Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had previously been on tour with bands such as Slightly Stoopid and have even made appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and San Diego's Street Scene. Last night was a long show for Pepper. Instead playing one show that night for the traditional 21 and over crowd they normally perform for, they played two I shows in one night so that they could reach the underage crowd as well. The all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the 21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A reggae band from Australia called The Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of the night for Pepper. While I did witness some traditional blunt passing at last night's show and the typical drunk antics that go along with a 21 and up crowd, there was a whole new episode I had not previously witnessed at a Pepper show and that was the mosh pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper is now reaching a whole new type of fans or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In With the Old" featured a few songs with hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at a Pepper show caught me by surprise and it persisted for most of the event. I even witnessed a few people trying to crowd surf, but it didn't last long. All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal show. I was even more impressed by thé fact that it was the second show of the night and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. They played for almost a solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last show in Southern California for some time, I was stoked to be a part of it. Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their way to Australia with Unwritten Law.

L �Gage at mrar with himself ' Lord of W ar' movie review BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Lord of War" chronicles the life of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to Frank Sinatra. The movie begins when Orlov sold his first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins to rise with a constant chase by Interpol agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord of War" chronicles the life of this arms dealer, including the money he made, his wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) and his eventual capture. Written and directed and by AndrewNiccol, the movie delivers an i ntriguing sense of satire. On occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns to Bin Laden because his checks always bounce. The trailer proudly displays a voice over by Cage stating "Say what you want about warlords and dictators, they always pay their bills on time." Or after his capture, Yuri still continues to do what he does best and by the way, loves. And to top it off, one of the closing captions state five of the permanent countries in the U.N. Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine, scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's life at all. It's surprising to note this because Niccol's reputation as a writer ("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer. A movie such as this always brings up, directly or indirectly, the politics behind it. In this case, it is international gun control. V "Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's conflict. He desires to make a profit while knowing that his product kills innocent lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict in a satiric outlook. Nine Inch Neils broken' but., to return BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Special to The Pride What an unbelievable tease! Everyone who went to the Autolux/Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show last Friday must have had such mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's set and rescheduled for November 20. How do I feel about this? Well, the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there is always next time. First up was Autolux, a Los Angeles trio consisting of singer/ bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and drummer/vocalist Carla Azar. Adding Autolux to the line-up instantly transformed the band from playing at clubs to arenas. You can be sure that when this tour is over we will continue to see much more from them, as touring with NIN has added a huge feather to their cap. Next was Queens of the Stone Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as they played many of their latest hits, including "Little Sister" and "In My Head." The group includes singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. I must note that Josh was quite hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show. He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm sure you get the picture. Although Queens of the Stone Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN to play as soon as possible. For all those who do not know, NIN currently consists of singer/ guitarist Michael Trent Reznor, drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist James Wooley and bassist Danny Lohner. The crowd erupted as soon Image courtesy of Interscope Records as the slightest moving shadow behind the see-through screen remotely resembled the image of Reznor. When the band started playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their third show in San Diego this summer alone. NIN's appeal is partially the emotion that they put into their songs, even a song as sexual and crass as "Closer," and partially the antics that went on, which displays their industrial roots. An amp was knocked over, a microphone stand was tossed away like a rag doll, and Reznor squirted the remnants of a water bottle into the audience as he held it near his crotch. The concert came to an unscheduled end when Dillon was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of chest pains. What I wouldn't give to be a patient at that hospital. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As soon as the building passes the Fire Marshall Code it will be up and running with the latest advances in school technology. Cal State San Marcos' Associate Director/Campus Architecture, Diane Malone has been working on the business building from the beginning. Malone said, "This has been an on going project that started back in 1999." Malone also went on to talk about how the business building was a product of the governor's economic stimulus package of 2002. This meant that the building was a state funded project designed to stimulate the states economic condition by bringing more jobs, students and money to Cali- I encourage everybody to take time and come out and support 'your' event!"

National Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 when Congress deemed it to celebrate the contributions and achievements of the diverse cultures within the Hispanic community. It originally started as one short week from Sept.15 and 16. The dates were chosen to commemorate two key historic events: Mexican Independence Day, and the signing act of Independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. On Aug. 17, 1988, the week long festivities were extended into a month when Congress approved the decision to do so.

Resident fraternity TKE has already managed to collect over $2,000 in relief funds, and the number is still growing. "We organized a carwash, but most of the money is coming from direct donations of Alumni and those with family in Louisiana," said Adrian Segalla of TKE. "We're hoping to get the entire Greek community into organizing larger fundraising events." Apparently people have been more than willing to help out anyone who asks, and anyone interested in helping out, whether by donation of funds, goods, or time, can contact Adrian Segalla at wooperl72@hotmail.com ity to seat 120 students. The auditorium classroom has a Distance Conference capability which allows guest speakers an ability to lecture students without ever having to step foot in California. The new building will also offer two new computer labs. The computer labs feature retractable computers, where accessing a computer means the computer will elevate out of the desk for use and folds back up inside the desk. So many new renditions to Cal State San Marcos' campus will come with the opening of the business building next spring.

CA 92008 �FEATURES THE PRIDE Successful Student Tuesday; September 13, 2005 Jason Williams BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer How do you define success? Quite possibly a different way than I do, but I'm going to go ahead and try to explain why Jason "Elm St." Williams is a success, and how he's just begun. Williams is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and will be graduating in the spring of2006 with his Bachelors degree in Communications, and a minor in Sociology. Not only does Williams already have plans for himself after college, he began his career a long time ago. At 23 years old, Williams has already sold approximately 3,000 of his professionally pressed CD entitled "Tha Hurdlez" and several hundred mix-tapes. Williams is currently preparing to hit the studio sometime next year and is planning on releasing two or three mix-tapes before summer 2006 to help promote his upcoming CD which should be released during the summer of 2006. Williams says he is already looking for a reggae/rock/skafusion band to back him on a few tracks and is "going for a different sound and growing musically." Williams overcomes adversities everyday. Like many others, he does homework and attends classes. But unlike many others, Williams is currently in the midst of potentially problematic legal issues* and still finds time to sell his CD and promote himself so that he can further his career as a musician and entertainer. "If you believe in yourself, don't give up!" said Williams. "I'm going to pursue life; pursue my destiny." says Williams. After college, Williams is going to pursue his music career as Elm St. and plans on being a substitute teacher part-time as Jason Williams. As far as Williams sees it, he speaks the truth, but acknowledges that he does not know everything. He wants to learn and grow to become a better person. As Elm St., Williams hopes to inspire with his lyrics and hopes to teach the world something different through his music, "It seems in this race of life, no man is winning, because death isn't an ending, it is truly the beginning of living. A way for all human kind to start winning.", As a philosopher, Williams hopes to inspire as well explaining, "People think that only one man can change the world, but everyone can help change the world." Williams aims high, he has apparently turned down a record deal in the six figure range, and he's not going to sign until he gets a seven figure deal offer. But it's not just about the signing bonus, Williams says, "It's really Image courtesy of Jason Williams about the right business deal. The music industry will get you famous before it gets you rich. I'm not going to go multi-plati- num and be broke." Williams is readily available to discuss how to purchase his CD for only $10.

The Dome Café received money over the summer for the purpose of renovation and revitalization. Christopher Wood, food service manager, took the opportunity to make some changes he thought would appeal to students, staff and faculty. In the end, Wood refurbished the whole look of the Dome café by adding different themes and styles. With the new themes and menu items, students have many choices. DW, the salad bar, has a new look while offering'fresh vegetables, dressings^ and toppings for a fresh green salad. Another choice is The Grill. The Grill displays an industrial stainless steel theme with firedup grills ready to cook food as it's ordered. At The Grill cougars may order hamburgers, tuna melts, grill cheese sandwiches, and BLT's. "The Pizza wall color, which is painted Crimson red, Sub Shop wall color, is white and Tacos and Burritos wall is colored green all together represent the Mexican flag and Italian flag.

Well, sports fans I am back. Wow, things sure have changed since I have been gone. As you might remember I left The Pride and my sports column because of a lack of time and because I didn't like the direction the paper was going. None of us figured that the sports section would disappear if I left. Granted, the editors tried to find a replacement for me but after two articles that experiment was done and so was the sports section. Apparently I had the foresight to see things were going to get ugly. An embarrassing timeline of events didn't exactly put the paper in the best light, such as the paper getting into an argument with athletic director Dr. Stephen Nichols. Also, having the University find out that one of the editor's in chief was trying to push her own agenda wasn't exactly a good thing. All of that is in the past now and I am looking forward to working with the new editor in chief, Patrick B. Long and the new advisor Dr. Anthony Hurst. Having an editor in chief who actually wants to have a sports section makes me believe that there will be great improvement in this section over the semester. Having one person take over the role that has been filled by tjyo people for F REE WANTED $17.00 per hour Photo c ourtesy of Josh Sandoval quite some time will be a bit of a change, but one that I think will benefit everyone. Dr. Hurst is the new advisor for the paper and he will have some big shoes to fill as he replaces Jenifer Woodring, who was regarded highly by many on the staff. However, if anyone can fill the position, I am sure Dr. Hurst can. It also doesn't hurt him in my book that he is a big sports fan. In past semesters, for those of you that are new to CSUSM, I gave my opinion on various occurrences in national and local professional sports. I also reviewed sports movies, books, and TV shows. I will still discuss national topics but expect some articles thrown in every now and then regarding campus athletics. With the passing of the new athletic fee there will be a huge development in the athletic F IVE department over the next couple of years and that deserves more coverage from this newspaper and from me. Now this is where you readers are crucial. The two previous semesters that I did this column there were very few of you that actually gave me feedback on what you wanted to read about. It really wasn't until I left the paper that I realized so many people actually read this column. I figured this was just a space filler so I wrote a lot of my previous articles for me and what I thought was newsworthy. I want things to change so if you think something is important don't hesitate to Email me at sando026@csusm. edu. When you see me around campus don't be afraid to stop me and tell me your opinion. I may look scary but I won't bite. 1 087 W- San Mareos Blvd. \ Nappy Hour every iMF fnm 4*7pm , : * * flair tiptit feMMisil?»Suftday l i closeaitfciíig io England inJNlM > North County's Best < " arid Chtpssi 19 B e e r i ^ ^ Guinness Síoút .; ' ; Harp " ; ( ? . •: • Yellow^ Pa&Ale StOUt Newcastle Brow» ' BoddingtofVa Pub Ale , Stone Imperial Stout Ag&smiif* Wee Heavy ScolctiAlo • -; - : Smithwicks ¥4 , ; j S p ¡ P ^ FullersESS^C-s * - > / Dry Blackthorn M C ^ M s n M ] ^WMMMMi Enjoy English Classics like Bangers and Mash, Corned Beef Sandwich, Steak and Guinness Stew, Sausage Roils, Scotch Egg» nkka Masaia and morel! • 2 Real Dart Boards« Pool Table, Foosball Table, Digital Juke Box with 100,000 songs and EA's "PGA Tour" Golf J jpP 760-471 -0773-~www.churchHlspub.us F IVE 39Days BUY 1 MYSTIC I I p g f a n « Unliminted Level 11 MYSTIC TANS c TAN GET 1 FREE | SET O , r t " 3 j Premium Beds I ULTRA TANS p#$25 I 0^V$39 <#$4§ 0 Good for all CSUSM s Kmt n faculty! & t tm d JUMt Good for alCSUSM üwM anö i ^ ypgr-fi pf H % T he p ath y ou c hoose t oday c an l ead t o t omorrow's s uccess Four Ultra Browning »afe Alt NewLegTmwrs . v I>: > fíve Levek of Tanning Mystic UV Free Spray-on Tmning If you're ready t o apply your knowledge and skills in the post-graduation Job market, then toss your hat in with State Fund.

The dome has been Despite that fact, I am cerlauded for its menu changes tain not many of you wish me to attend class after eating a bean-heavy lunch; rice and beans can become boring. The other problem is the food service ingredient layouts. Most servers prepare food left to right. They scoop out their selection and drag it across the other items to the right to place it on the tortilla/plate/whatnot they are compiling. With the meat selections placed on the far left and the rice and beans placed directly to their right; many meat vittles have fallen into the rice and beans, sometimes to stay for some unsuspecting veggie (and no, picking out the meat is not a viable option... ever heard of transfer?) "Our" other grilled option is a veggie burger. How many people watch how their food is prepared? Here, veggie burgers are placed on the same side of the hamburger-fat-laden grill and the cooking time sped up by application of yet another hamburger-fatladen item: the bacon press! Doesn't that just scream vegetarian friendly?? I have yet to see the left side of the Grill's grill ever in use. Why not leave that side open and hot to cook animal-fatfree veggie burgers? Think french fries are an option? You don't even want me to tell you what gets cooked along with those. The final "option" is the salad bar or Sub Shop. Withered lettuce and tomatoes worthy of one of those "Attack of.. " movies are the highlights of those options. All I am asking really is to open up more options to those ofus who "live" on this campus up to 5 days a week. Straighten out the food-prep issues, use produce grown within the past 6 months, and give an opportunity in the "Lunch Specials" for a taste of Vegan flair. It is always easier to feed an omnivore vegetables, than to feed a vegetarian meatproducts. Where is that Vegan and Animal Rights Campus Club I read so much about before I transferred here? Did they all graduate and no one cares anymore?? Well I do and intend to do something about it. For now, I am brown-bagging it... just give me a water and Diet Pepsi...TO GO!

"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" holds true to the good old fashion scary movie theme. The combination of creepy voices, special effects and horrifying makeup jobs are just the right combination to make anyone squirm. Even though there are some similarities to "The Exorcist", the two movies definitely have their own flair. I enjoyed every suspenseful moment of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and absolutely recommend seeing it.

BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Well, after all, jungle music was born in England and the Brits continue to produce first-rate music and put on a show like no other. The DJs in the jungle room were some awesome that I was reluctant to leave the area for any reason. From 6p.m. to 7p.m., Tech Itch, a DJ from England, started my night off smashingly, tearing up the turntables and forcing me and the expansive room full of my fellow 'junglists' (as drum and bass fans are commonly known), to dance our booties off. After a brief interlude, I tried out the exhilarating bungee trampoline jump stationed outside, I returned to the action and caught the UK's own DJ High Contrast in an amazing performance that surpassed all my preconceived expectations. From 9p.m. to 10p.m., UK DJ Pendulum ripped it up on the decks and blew me away with his energetic set. One trip around the promotional booths, merchandise tables, and food stands, and 3 purchased t-shirts later, I dashed back to NOS's Damus building (a warehouse like structure) just in time for a triple threat of the UK's (where else?) Grooverider, the larger-than-life Roni Size, and finally the explosive Andy C capping off the night with a bracing assault of rolling drum rhythms and pounding bass beats with MC GQ on the mic (that's microphone to you squares!) until 2a.m.. The shared enthusiasm of the fans, artists, and promoters lent an aura of enthusiasm to the whole affair and so went the 'junglistic fever' at the 11th Annual Nocturnal Wonderland, presented by the insanely popular Southern California-based promoters Insomniac Events.

Cal State San Marces given opportunity to help CSUSM mourns Remembering the life of Language Learning Center director Fundraisers on campus to help Katrina victims BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Special to The Pride A memorial service will be held on Sept. 10 for Dr. Kevin Igasaki, the late director of the Cal State San Marcos Language Learning Center. The memorial will be held at the University of San Diego. Igasaki passed away on the night of Aug. 10, 2005, in San Diego County. Igasaki is survived by his wife Cahterinie Bellier-Igasaki and his two children. Igasaki first came to Cal State San Marcos in 1996; when he transferred here from CSU Long Beach. Igasaki began as a technician in the Language Lab, but worked very hard and became the director of the Language Learning Center and campus foreign language proficiency assessor. According to a recent campuswide email from the Communications Office, Patricica E. Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs said: "Kevin was a true leader on campus. ... To faculty, staff and administrators, Kevin was a highly respected colleague. He was an innovative thinker; considered a valuable member on campus committees because of his ability to see the 'big picture.'" Igasaki served on several campus committees, including the University Strategic PlanSee MEMORIAL, page 2 Photo courtesy of Daniel Cima / American Red Cross Above: Houston Astrodome, September 1,2005.

LONG Pride Staff Writer Katrina's devastating results left many news viewers with feelings of hopelessness in their ability to help the victims. In efforts to help Cougars do their part, ASI is spearheading events toofinanciallyhelp the displaced survivors through fundraising for The Red Cross. "The Red Cross response to Hurricane Katrina is the largest response to a single, natural disaster in the 125-year history of the organization," stated the American Red Cross website. According to the CNN website on Saturday Sept. 3, 2005, there were, "30,000 evacuees who have been stranded there for days amid mounds of trash and human waste."

More info on the Katrina fundraising efforts PAGE 2 Crittenden was on campus Sept. 1 as part of College Survivor Night at the Clarke Field House. In his speech titled "Discover the Will to Survive," Crittenden shared lessons learned from overcoming obstacles in his life. A crowd of approximately 40 people gathered as Crittenden drew parallels between surviving college and surviving the CBS reality show. In both instances one is often away from home, missing his or her family and not eating well, but there are also many friends to be made, he said. "I made some really good friends when I was there on the islands," Crittenden said, adding that at college there are daily challenges to be faced, whether it is a "reward challenge" or waking up to an alarm early and getting a good parking spot. The California native was born on Camp Pendleton, but grew up in Half Moon Bay in Northern California. He attended community college full time for three years while working almost full time.

Originallyfinishedin Jan. 2004, the Kellogg Library replaced facilities occupying only a portion of Craven Hall. But in addition to providing more computers to initially kill time and subsequently save the last minute, Kellogg Library has recently extended its hours. This came as a result of student and faculty input, so don't hesitate to share your comments and concerns with the staff. Melanie Chu, Outreach/Multicultural Librarian, even took the time to talk with Pride about other helpful additions fo the Library.

Although it's become a cliché expression, this question contains a lot of truth when it comes to the idea of being optimistic - an idea that can be successfully put into practice with the start of anew semester at CSUSM. As a recovering pessimist, I know what it is to doubt everything; and even enjoy doing it, but optimism holds so much more success for those who master it. Just look at the famous athletes who have used their optimism to help them excel. Where would Lance Armstrong be if he hadn't been optimistic and fought his way back from lifethreatening cancer to win multiple consecutive Tour-De-France titles? Here at CSUSM, there are numerous ways you can turn a pessimistic perspective into an optimistic one and have similar success in your life - albeit on a much smaller scale. To some people optimism obviously comes easily (the type of people you either love or hate) yet for the rest of us being optimistic takes a little practice. Simply be patient, take time doing your daily tasks so you can stand back and look at the positive side of things and thus work toward them. For example, instead of complaining about having to climb the million plus steps at San Marcos between classes, think about all the exercise you'll get wandering across CSUSM in the late summer sun. When stuck in a class you don't like and didn't want to take, instead of being a pessimist about it, be optimistic about the class and watch your interest and success surrounding the class grow. Simply looking at things in a different perspective can make all the difference in the world: don't every let yourself believe that you are going to fail, instead believe that nothing can stop you from meeting your goals and succeeding. Start your new semester at CSUSM as an optimist instead of a pessimist and watch success follow you wherever you go. Arguing for pessimism is like arguing for infidelity or gluttony or indecent exposure. The alternatives of each seem so much more respectable that society fails to consider the allure of deviating from what is considered 'good' behavior. Pessimism is just another defense mechanism. Some people drown a bad day with alcohol; Some go to movies to watch other people live life instead of living their own. The pessimist simply expects every day to be bad, making the bad easier to bear when it comes. It is easier to deal with death if the deceased is ill for a long time beforehand. It's easier because the death is expected. Pessimism is like an illness. It prepares you for the worst possible scenario. The pessimist is not taken aback by tragedy. Rather, he waits for it with calm certainty because it is inevitable. When a healthy person is suddenly flattened by a car while crossing the street, enjoying nature, the death is much harder to deal with. It is harder because the tragedy is unexpected. Optimism is like health. You feel well so you forget it is a transient feeling. Then when something unfortunate happens, it is horribly shocking. Schopenhauer said if we compared the pleasure felt by one animal eating another to the pain felt by the animal being eaten, we would see that pain completely outweighed pleasure in life. He used this analogy to defend pessimism as most logical. Hemingway was a pessimist. He tried to end his life many times, one of which involved an attempt to run into cycling jet propellers. Sylvia Plath felt life wasn't worth waking up for and stuck her head into an oven. Virginia Woolf piled rocks into her pocket and drowned herself in a lake, deciding no experiences in life were as exciting as the experience of death. The trend is that hopelessly depressed attitudes breed great literature. Without the author's dreary outlook, a lot of books would * not have achieved their depth and success. Of course, cheery, positive attitudes breed literature'too. They breed Doctor Phil's advice books and teenage magazines. If false hope and shallow happiness are what you want, then hurray for optimism. We are told it is best to see the glass as half full.

With classes started, I found myself compoundedwithbothhomework and these new editor responsibilities. I do not know how the previous editors did it. Looking back at the first issue, I realize many mistakes. I will let you spot them if you still have a copy rather than embar- rass myself with the long detailed list, and I am working on fixing repetitive mistake for the future (tip's). I will still count on readers to bring forth problems, ideas or concerns they may have, not only about the newspaper but also of the school. I was looking forward to posting letters to the editor in the paper this week, alas I received none. I have heard many verbal remarks made about the first issue, mostly good. Many cougars where surprised to find out that we put out an issue on the first week and congratulated us on a job well done, still no letters. I heard one remark about the staff being Gestapo, but that person still did not write it down for us to print. The great usefulness of letters to the editor is the impact it has on the writers and content of the paper. Granted we have had suggestions that we do not follow MLA, we follow AP. Another concern was our lack of covering off campus news stories. We try not to compete with the large newspapers, even though they now have stands here on campus. Our goal is to write about this campus. Stories will contain elements that link it back to Cal State San Marcos. With this open request hotline, students, staff and faculty can give their input to the building of this great media. Patrick B. Long pride@csusm.edu Entertaiment in the Clarke Fieldhouse BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer It was recently said to me that there were no places on Cal State San Marcos' campus to host a small concert or a boxing match within closed walls. After a little investigation I found several adequate venues for both small concerts and for boxing matches. The Clarke Field House for instance would be fine to host a series of small concerts featuring unsigned and/or local musicians. It may even fit a boxing match. The new study center at the top of the library would fit both a boxing match and a small concert as well. I don't know that that would be allowed, but it's a possibility. After visiting Casino Night at two different times (6:30pm and 8:15pm), I became concerned that our student body was not interested in the events the campus has to offer. Although I did not attend the entire Casino Night event, the two times I dropped by, I saw the same amount of people at the game tables; what seemed to be about 25 people (not including the dealers or the volunteers). Perhaps instead of assuming what the student body wants or needs as far as fun and entertainment on campus, there should be a vote determined by a simple majority rule for a variety of events ASI organizes. Perhaps then there would be bigger crowds than the approximate 25 people that showed up to Casino Night and the approximate 40 people that showed up to "College Survivor Night" where a celebrity from one of the most popular television shows of all time was speaking. There could be a variety of reasons why the first two events of the semester weren't very popular. One may be that the ASI Calendar of Events hand-out listed Casino Night beginning at 6pm and another schedule of events posted by the ASI offices listed the event time as beginning at 8pm. It's quite possible that newer students like myself, did not know the difference (if any) between the Grand Salon and the Clarke Field House either. Casino Night took place at the Clarke Field House but again there was a difference between the big orange calendar of events posted by the ASI offices and the small yellow hand-outs. One read that Casino Night would take place at the Grand Salon and the other read that Casino Night would take place at the Clarke Field House. Unfortunately of the two potential venues for the night, only the Clarke Field House is listed on the big maps found throughout campus. Perhaps not all of the students will enjoy live concerts on Friday or Saturday nights. Perhaps not all students will enjoy a live boxing event on campus either. But so far it seems that only about 70 students have enjoyed (or at least attended) the first two campus events of the semester, and with that short track record it might be worthwhile to the students to try some new ideas before it's too late.

Top f ive back to school must haves BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again; time to pack up all your stuff and head back to school. Unfortunately summer is ending, fortunately for us; the season to by back to school gear never ends. This is it, the top 5 list of must haves for the new school year. 1. ¡Book - Apples new line of personal notebooks. The New iBook is stronger, faster, and more capable than ever. With built in wireless Internet, and Bluetooth technology, these notebooks can pack a wallop in or outside of the classroom. Read along with the class as you look up the teacher's notes online wirelessly, or just kick back and work with many of the functions available on one of the best consumer laptops around. Either way, there will be no regrets with the purchase of this machine. 2. Cougar Cards - Ever found yourself strapped for cash, but in dire need of a quick snack, scantron, or some lunch in between classes? If so, grab a Cougar Card, you can purchase them anywhere and save them for whenever they are needed. They are usable in the dome, and other various places around campus. Just select the amount of money you want on the card, and they will do it for you. The Cougar Card is a gift card for students, not exactly the gift that keeps on giving, but it does its job well. 3. iPod - This already popular Mp3 player is a great way to kick back and listen to your favorite tunes in between classes, or just waltzing around the dorm room. With a size of 20 or 60 gigabytes it is the perfect addition for the somewhat musically challenged and all the way up to the maestro of music. 4. Treo 650 Smart phone - This is a new one for a lot of people. A sophisticated blend of phone and function if you will. The Treo 650 Smart phone combines a handheld PDA with all the applications of today's top cell phone. Be it for calling home, or organizing your class schedules with due dates, and assignment notes, everything is at your fingertips willing and waiting for you to push the limits of technology. 5. Sony CD Dream Machine - Last but not least, is an alarm clock. The Dream Machine not only saves you from being late for class, but also plays your favorite music with it's built in CD player, all of which is personally programmable to adjust to your schedule. Adding some tunes to the morning routine can even help boost your eagerness for class...at least for some people. Short and sweet, but defiantly essential, all of these things can help you to achieve the goals of academia, but also blow off some steam and help yourself recooperate over the weekends. It's always a plus having technology on your side, and with these top five gadgets you can't go wrong. �A&E THE PRIDE CALENDAR S siS H S i ü ; Local band, Stranger, plays at House of Blues San Diego Stranger stole the show with one of the most phenomenal live performances I've ever seen/heard. Stranger's energy was certainly unsurpassed by all the other bands that shared the stage with them on Aug. 28,2005, at the new House of Blues (HOB) in San Diego, CA. It was a surprise after watching all of the bands perform that night that Stranger was the opening act. With the amount of fans they had there before the show even began, it seems apparent that they could headline their own show at San Diego's HOB. Stranger opened the show with a mostly instrumental, but very melodic song, and then thanked the ecstatic crowd for coming out to enjoy the show, just before beginning a non-stop 40 minutes of energetic and powerful music. Stranger performed a medley of what •SillPiPPÄliiBS •M—I "Life Lessons" in stage presence BY JASON HOBBS Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, September 6, 2005 seemed to be about 10 full songs. Every song transitioned into the next in such a fluid manner that there was no notice of any errors or delays. The final song of the medley featured nearly an entire disbandment and reemergence of the band, bound together by the steady beat of the drummer. After the band reemergence, and the end of the medley, the lead singer thanked the very enthusiastic audience one more time for coming out to the show to enjoy their music and received a very warm and almost overwhelmingly energetic response from the audience. Then it was announced by the lead singer that they would do one more song. Stranger ended the show with a brand new song that had the creativity and style that had me humming the song during the intermission. After Stranger's set, the crowd finally began to move over to the bar and the bathroom. Although San Diego's HOB is not that big and no matter where you stood (even in the bathroom) you could hear the music, no one seemed to want to stop watching Stranger's energetic set. The show was not over after Stranger's set, but you might not have known that if you were standing outside watching all of the people leave.

BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer What happened this summer? It's the question distributors, producers and movie studio executives are asking themselves and each other. Compared to last summer, the box office has seen a decrease in domestic gross while the marketing, promoting and budget size of each movie has experienced no significant change.

Pushing the band into a new direction of mixed genres and collaborative thinking, "Plans" envelops the reflective stylings of bands such as The Album Leaf, and the late Elliott Smith. Death Cab for Cutie strongly utilizes the technique of slow, strung out piano with the soft and elegant notes of an acoustic guitar, adding to the CD's overall aura. The first single off the CD "Soul Meets Body" brings back the feeling of "The Photo Album" LP, and softens it, giving listeners a feel for the band's progression into a new sound. Almost taking a page from Elliott Smith's own figurative songbook is "I will follow you into the dark." With their own spin put into the song, Ben Gibbard quietly serenades us on a journey of love, filled with the unexpected twists and turns along the way. Gibbard sings "If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied, and illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs, Photo courtesy ofwww.deathcabforcutie.com if there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks, then I will follow you into the dark." A simplistic yet morbid chorus makes the song powerful, yet serine at the same time. Produced by guitarist Chris Walla, "Plans" really makes its mark with the song . "Brother's on a Hotel Bed." The beginning of the song is especially like The Album Leaf, but when Gibbard's voice projects over the front of the piano, and acoustic drum set, we are reminded that "Plans" is defiantly something new. Ifyou are interested in anything remotely good these days, you will defiantly need to check out this CD. It pulls together and intertwines some of Gibbard's most pressing issues, relating them in a way that only Death Cab for Cutie can bring us. Look for them on tour this fall, and for more information you can visit www.deathcabforcutie.com. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

LONG Pride Staff Writer Get to scboot early for parking Tha strained relationship between the campus and its police department has widened over the past year.

Though implemented prior to the incidents leading up to the task force, the police department wants to "reach out to the community,'' said Lieutenant Douglass Miller of Cal State San Marcos Police Department. The course, titled Citizen's Academy, will be held over four days and offer several courses on police work. Every officer will teach a course in their area of expertise. The classes will heip educate the campus community on police procedures. The courses include several hot topics on campus, including what is a hate crime. The purpose is to help the campus understand what a hate crime is, "there is some confusion," said Miller.

Other courses include what it takes to be a cop, terrorism awareness, crime scene techniques, and narcotics recognition. The crime scene techniques are expected to be a fun class with students learning how to lift fingerprints and acquire D.N.A. samples. Specialty classes like terrorism awareness and D.N.A. will implement the use of outside expertise. "We want to help our community become partners in fighting crime on campus," said Miller on why these classes are essential for people to attend. "We are looking for a diverse group of people to make up the class," said Miller. The class will hold up-to 30 people, and they are hoping for members of faculty, staff, and students. The training will run from Oct. 25 until Nov. 15 and will include about eight hours of training. The campus police offer other training throughout the year; including R.A.D., rape aggression defense.

The decision was made last school year to combine the co-editors positions into one giving me the opportunity to give the readers the best paper The Pride staff can produce. With the new semester starting, the journalism class has no advisor hired and only three people on staff trying to put this first paper, so please be kind while critiquing it. I have my work cut out for me building an almost entire new staff of writers from scratch. Here is where I would like to shamelessly plug the golden opportunities awaiting any lucky student who would like to join the newspaper team and make history this semester by writing gems for the campus to read.

LONG Pride Staff Writer With the passing of the athletic referendum last semester, sports programs at Cal State San Marcos have a bright future ahead of it. With new increased funding supported by the students, current programs will remain and new teams will be formed to give Cougars a lot to cheer for. We would really like to thank the students for passing the referendum," said Stephen Nichols, Cal Sate San Marcos' athletic director.

With the new funding, the new teams will include women's softball, men's baseball and men's and women's soccer. "Women's golf is looking good this year," said Nichols. Last semester ended well for the Cougar teams, with the women's golf team reaching the top five of the national championship of NAIA. Kenny Adams finished in third place at the nationals for men's golf as a freshman. Track and Field will see the return of top ranking athlete Ann Marie Byrne and their chance to win the championship. The current sports are not deemed as spectator sports but the new teams will give a place for Cougars to go and cheer on their teams. The new teams will be in the NAIA league and will start as soon as fall 2006 beginning with soccer. In spring 2007, the baseball and softball teams will be introduced. "Currently we are looking for coaches," said Nichols. When they are hired, the coaches will be introduced to Cal State San Marcos in an open forum. The soccer team will play track's center field, while the plans are in thé works for the home of the baseball and softball teams. The intercollegiate sports are not the only activities offered for students. The Associated Student Incorporated (ASI) offers intramural sports, where students can sign up on teams to play each other. In the „past such sports as baseball and dodge ball have been offered.

Try that one on for size and see how it fits -Why thejoji market sucks An examination of a graduate's search to find his or her place in the world comes down to a simple comparison of what education meant in the past and what it means in today's job market. When I graduated from college, I had eight years of work experience with six of those years as a manager. When I applied for white-collar professional jobs, I did not land them. When I applied for blue-collar work, similar to the work I had done before, I did not get those jobs either. I was in strange place for sure since I could not reason out in my head what I was lacking. Mixing my age - 29 now, 27 when I began my career search - and my experience as a supervisor/manager in the blue-collar/service industry put me in the unique position of being both overeducated and pver-experienced. That is a hard little pill to swallow when I thought I had done everything right in terms of work and education. The fact is this is not our parents' education; it is not our parents' world. Simply put there i s no reward for your education in terms of a career being handed to you after graduation. It seems to me that the argument used to convince middle and high school students to go to college was the possibility of landing a high-paying job as reward for your commitment to education. That argument is dead - post-graduation life is not about your reward, it is about what you F REE!

If, as in my case, you present yourself as a blue-collar worker with a history degree, then there is not a lot of appeal to employers on the professional end of the work spectrum, at least the beginning. That being said, there are no regrets in pursuing higher education. Quite the contrary since I plan to return for a M. A. in history as soon as the program becomes a reality at Cal State San Marcos (remember the part about delaying the big student loan payback). A history degree will take you in strange directions as you work on it - take it from me, nervous breakdowns and strange realizations come fast and often when undermining the foundations of your knowledge. All that said, I don't think I would have picked a different major if the opportunity was presented to me; it is worth it now and I am sure it will be worth it in the long run. Holding the line For me, the 18-month frenzy ended when I landed a copy editing/page designer position with a local newspaper, albeit only part time. But the opportunity to be on a staff working in newsroom is its own reward - the newspaper industry is truly a foot-in-the door line of work. • : •: I got my chance after struggling as a freelance writer during See GRADUATION, page 7 �Fall back into summer f un Three summer events you haven't missed yet BY PHOÈNIX LINDGREN Special to The Pride While the Del Mar Fair, Gay Pride weekend, and Street Scene 2005 are now relegated to the place where fond summer memories go, there are a few fabulous summer events that you can still enjoy this fall.

For someone trying to break in the business of news writing, freelancing is a good way to pad your portfolio along with getting some money for your work as well. The downside to freelancing is it is hard to make a living at it especially in San Diego County. Another help, from what I hear, are internships. Although I never did an internship, I know of one former Pride staffer who landed a job right after graduation after completing two internships in one semester. I understand that internships are a lot of hard work with little or no compensation, however, but I think the value of internships is immense. Others I know have moved away all together tofindwork. I hear that is a good move if you can stand being away from San Diego. Failing everything else, holding the line with meantime job, like plumbing.which I did, pays the bills and puts the mind at ease. I do not want to come across as negative about the entire experience offinishingcollege and looking for a job. I, more or less, want to offer a reality check for students coming in or checking out this year. There is nothing to replace the education I received at Cal State San Marcos.

S urvivor Meet a former Image courtesy of Miramax Pictures Heath Ledger (left) and Matt Damon (right) played the roles of brothers Jake and Will Grimm. BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Terry Gilliam returns to the director's chair since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" to guide Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as "The Brothers Grimm." Even with some classic Gilliamfisheye camera shots and obscure characters, the story falls short of good. "The Brothers Grimm" brings to life the famous brothers who wrote classic fairytales in the early 20th century. The movie portrays the two in a newfictitiousstory as two con-artists meandering from town to town in French JFc>jr «S 1 W e l l s 7- lOpm Thursdays Only FRIDAY SEPTEMBER /MOJker spru/si<3 & evet^si7HHG~ TAKe^ SUNDAY SEPTEMBER JtJLJL. JL«-* JW J L v MtmL . " American occupied Germany, excising fabricated ghosts, witches, and demons. When called upon by the French government, the brothers are forced to deal with an actual enchanted forest and curse. The plot cleverly alludes to some of their most famous fairytales, including "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rapunzel," "Cinderella" and "Hansel and Gretel." The trouble with the plot is its inability to combine them into a good plot. The writing seems choppy and the dialogue forced. Even Gilliam has trouble creating the illusion that Damon is a good actor. I felt as if I was watching Matt Damon's doppelganger from "Team America: World Policy." Positive elements do occur in "The Brothers Grimm," including the special effects. The introduction of fairytale characters comes at a price. Gilliam is well known for going over budget for his movies, and it appears he spent the movie on great computer graphics. The set design was excellent and has always been an intriguing element of Gilliam's work. Overall, the movie feels like small skits of bad acting combined to make a movie. The story is stuck somewhere in space never finding a home in the region of comedy, action, or even horror. Some scenes left me confused whether to jump or laugh. This misdirection adds some confusion to the plot and who the movie is geared for. The combination of classic figures in literature is not new either. Recently it was tried in "League or Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Van Helsing." It was a nice attempt but not worthy of the silver screen. Mouse AS!

XIII NO. 14 Spring 2005 grad details Task force outlines areas for improvement in campus policing practices W hat upcoming graduates need to know BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer University Police vehicles are a regular sight in front of the campus. BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer The Task Force on Campus Policing released their "Final Report, First Combined D raft" on Friday, April 28 to Interim Chief of Police Aaron Woodard and Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal R. Hoss for review. The report contains 31 specific and often multi-provisional recommendations for change within police department as well as other related areas in the campus community. According to the Task Force's report, Woodard and Hoss are to, "develop a calendar to address each of the recommendations," Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride and create, "a report concerning any recommendations that will not be acted upon." Using the "concept of community oriented policing" as a model for recommendations to the CSUSM Police, the report concludes that while community oriented policing, "is a philosophy that the University Police of Cal State San Marcos has adopted in its mission, vision, and values statement," there are, "many ways in which the University Police could strengthen how it carries out community oriented policing in its general practices, its staffing, its communication strategies and educational functions." Recommendations of the report include implementing diversity and profiling training for officers, increasing foot patrols of the campus, establishing regular patrol areas for specific officers, using informal sanctions when at all possible, increasing community outreach programs, creating an ongoing review board for policing practices and exploring the use of cameras in police vehicles. The task force formed in January 2005 with the goal of, * "preparing a report for the Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services that would be Commencement 2005 will be Saturday May 14 with one ceremony at 9:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m. at the Del Mar Fair Grandstands. There will be around 800 people graduating at each ceremony, and around 10,000-12,000 guests are expected to attend. The graduation committee has been busy figuring out all of the logistics for the day and has formulated some helpful advice to get you through the day as smoothly as possible. The first thing to know, before you plan any sort of celebration, is that the ceremony will last around 2-2 hours, and you will not be allowed to leave early. Plan your lunch or dinner reservations accordingly, and allow for all the picture taking, hugging grandmas and traffic. Graduates must check in one hour before the ceremony to begin lining up. You have to say goodbye to your family and friends at the Plaza de Mexico and check in at the Paddock entrance with your cap and gown. At the entrance you will receive your name card and cords if you are graduating with honors. (There will be a list posted in the hallway by Registration and Records with the names of students eligible for honors.)

The freshman and their parents were part of a survey conducted by Community Health Improvement Partners' (CHIP) designed to ultimately improve current suicide prevention programs. According to a CHIP press release, sui- cide has become a growing concern to the community because it is the second leading cause of death among younger college students and the suicide rate among this group has been rising in San Diego County. A magnet prepared with information on how to detect signs and symptoms of depression and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines was the centerpiece of the study. The magnets were given to both students and parents. The groups were surveyed once at the beginning of the fall 2004 semester and again in spring 2004. The study was meant to determine the reaction of students and parents when someone close to them showed signs or appeared to be at risk of suicide. According to the study, over half the students kept the magnet in visible location (such as a refrigerator); almost 40 per cent did so "all or most of the time" and over 80 per cent of parents who received the magnet also kept the magnet visible. In addition the study showed that students were somewhat more likely, after having received the magnet, to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression in a friend and encourage the friend to call See STUDY, page 2 What do you think about your professors?

In addition the task force "was to document current use of best national practices at Cal State San Marcos, and where appropriate and in compliance with state law and system policy, recommend improvements in the existing policing model." The task force was formed due to campus community concerns regarding policing practices in the wake of the arrest of student Jason Williams. The 11 member panel consists of Chair Terry Allison, Associate Vice President of Human Relations & Campus Enterprises Linda Leiter, Director of Student and Residential Life Bridget Blanshan, Academic Senate Executive Committee member and Professor of Sociology Valerie Callanan, Faculty subject expert and Professor of Sociology Edwardo Portillos, staff member Charles Guthrie, student and ASI Childcare Representative Edith Zarza, student and ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Sarah C. Leonard, community member Tim Dong, CSU Fullerton Chief of Police Judi King, and Interim Chief of CSUSM Police Aaron Woodard. "Overall I think that funding (for the recommendations) is going to be an issue," said Leonard, "I hope that they (Woodard and Hoss) look at this as top priority." She said she felt that the creatjon of an ongoing review board for policing practices on campus was the single most important recommendation contained in the report.

"CHIP'S Suicide Prevention Committee wanted to develop a simple strategy or tool that would help raise awareness and prevent suicide among college students," said CHIP committee member and Scripps Mercy Hospital trauma nurse Beth Sise. Sise said that the idea developed from an editorial in Newsweek.

Graduates are being asked to please leave inflatables Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Changes in policing practices are unlikely to mean less regular patrol interactions with University Police such as the questioning of Mike Rostami in front of the Dome on May 2. Rostami later said he was asked to leave campus and threatened with arrest. Touting a handful of forms, he said he was on campus to get information about the requirements for the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program. Rostami said that the police told him he, "looked suspicious" and that someone reported him digging through the trash (which is illegal in San Marcos). He produced a Volkswagen throttle body that he said he found sitting on top of a recycling bin, arid guessed that this was the reason for someone reporting him to police. Rostami promptly left campus. about specific recommendations contained in the report until he and Hoss had time for review, and the Policing Task Force Report was finalized. help prevent suicides. "The causes of depression are complex," said Sise. "Depression is often the result of a combination of inherited, personal-psychological, and environmental factors. And at times depression occurs for no apparent reason. But whatever the cause, depression is nearly always treatable." In college, stress arising from the environment can play a part in the development of a depressive episode. Common sources of stress in the life of college students, especially freshman, include: greater academic demands, being on one's own in and air horns at home. Wasn't that a high school thing? If you show up and have been "celebrating" early, you will be asked to leave. After the ceremony the graduates will be excused row by row in a formal recessional, and will have the opportunity to accept congratulations from the faculty who will line up in the Paddock area. The best piece of advice, from a former graduate, is to prearrange where you are going to meet your family and friends after the ceremony. Do not choose the Paddock area because it will be very crowded. If you need help choosing a spot, look on the Commencement 2005 link on the CSUSM home page, where you will find a nice aerial photo, maps to Del Mar and lots of other helpful information.

The forms allow students to anonymously evaluate the instructor and the course on different scales, ranging from how enthusiastic the instructor was to how prepared they were in class. It's an opportunity for students to have their voices heard and to offer advicp and critique to help teachers in f uture courses. The evaluation form consists of a series of questions compiled by the Faculty A ffairs Committee. There are different types of evaluation forms for different types of instructors, but all the forms were designed in order to get the most appropriate feedback f rom students regarding course instructors. One of the most important things about the Student Evaluation of Course Instruction forms is the way in which they are distributed. The procedure is designed to give students f ull anonymity so that they are completely candid in their evaluations. The course instructor is asked to leave the room and two student volunteers read the instructions and distribute the evaluations to the class. "The process that's outlined on the front of that envelope is really important for the students to follow," said Associate Dean of the College of Education Dr. Peggy Kelly. "Some students, in their zeal, they may really love a professor, hand it to the professor, which invalidates it. It has to come from the students to Institutional Research, not pass through a faculty member's hands." This process guarantees that there is no opportunity for a professor to see or change the evaluations before they reach Institutional Research. Students are usually given 15 minutes at the end of class to complete the forms and place them in a manila envelope. A fter the forms are completed, they are taken to Institutional Research and copies are then sent to the appropriate departments. "Faculty are not allowed to see any of the evaluation forms 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Sav-on Center San Marcos, CA 92069 before grades are posted," said Kelly. "That's for the student's protection in the event that some students feel like there might be retribution because of a poor evaluation. This is to avoid any of that sort of conflict." If a student writes something accusatory on the evaluation form, certain steps are taken by the administration. "When you're talking about student evaluations, a comment by one student is not significant enough," said Kelly. There needs to be more data because it's not uncommon for a student to feel that they're getting a bad grade in class, therefore, they try to get back at the teacher " In this case, more data would include specific dates, times and reactions to inappropriate classroom behavior, as well as more than one student making the claim. "There is a cause for concern when it's more than one student and it's very specific about what the issues are," said Kelly. "The more specific a student can be about what the incidence or behavior was, the more administrators have to work with. When that's corroborated by others in the classroom, we have a conver- (760)727-5085 (760)727-8136 Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service The Engraving Place Sushi Station S an Marcos Bivd # 120 S an Marcos, C A 92069 ( in Albertson's Shopping Mall) Plaques • Trophies • Corporate Awards Money Clips • Key Chains • Baby Items Kevin W.

In the end, it's important to know that the evaluation forms do make a difference. They can play a vital part in an instructor's academic career. If an instructor is going through the retention, tenure and promotion process, student evaluations are used to measure whether they have addressed certain problem areas in their teaching and improved upon them. Getting student feedback can only improve the quality of courses and instructors at CSUSM. "We want to know the students opinion on how the courses were from their perspectives. The faculty members have their perspectives and have put their best efforts into the course, but were they successful?" said Kelly. "If it weren't for the students, why would we be here?" One student remarked about the student evaluation process. "When I fill out the forms, I do try to fill them out honestly," said Randie Chance, a sophomore psychology major. "I think good teachers care what students think about their classes and their teaching styles."

If you're looking to get away f rom it all and travel, but money is tight, don't worry there are plenty of ways to travel cheaply. Here are a few ideas: First, if you're a student, there are places that specialize in cheap student travel, such as www.statravel.com. You may have seen this travel company on "The Real World," this is a cool company because they specialize in getting students great deals. Their website is very user friendly - you can plan your whole trip there and even come up with better ideas than you started with. They have information on places to stay, as well as transportation once you get there. Some of the current roundtrip deals featured include Los Angeles t o Costa Rica for $208, Los Angeles to London f or $328, and San Diego to New York for $268. Take advantage of student travel deals while you can, you have the rest of your life t o work. Second, if you're searching for cheap airfares, t ry the airlines' websites. O ften they have better deals then elsewhere. Right now on Hawaiian Airlines website (www.hawaiianairlines.com) you can fly Los Angeles to Hawaii for $358 round-trip if you travel before June 9, 2005. Airlines frequently o ffer better deals than other travel websites because they want you to book your flight directly. Southwest Airlines (www. southwestairlnes.com) o ffers summer rates as low as $49 oneway. Southwest comes out with Internet specials every Tuesday that will keep you flying cheap. Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is another airline that frequently o ffers low fares. Currently they're o ffering $39 one-way tickets f rom Long Beach to Las Vegas. With the high cost of gas it might actually save you money to drive to Long Beach and then fly to Vegas. Jet Blue doesn't fly everywhere, but it is definitely worth checking out. Third, b e flexible. If you are flexible on your travel dates you can find good deals, you j ust have to look for them. If you can travel during the week, do it. You're going to save on a irfare and hotel rooms during the week. Fourth, take a drive. If flying isn't your thing, take a road trip. Road trips are awesome and can be where you make some of the best memories with your f riends. The price of gas is high right now, but if you can get your buddies t o chip in, a road t rip is a great idea for a cheap summer trip. Find something you like - baseball for example - and go watch your team play in another city. You will have more f un exploring a new city i f you're doing something you enjoy. F ifth, get lost. We are lucky enough to live in an amazing city that is close to the beach, the mountains, and the desert. Have a vacation close to home. You don't have t o travel f ar to have an amazing trip. If you're looking to get away, book a hotel Earn Your Master's or Doctorate at Alliant!

So did I BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer One year ago I was much like you, reading the last issue of The Pride and thinking, ' I could do better.' So I added that hideous 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday section to my class schedule, and showed up all fresh-faced and eager in the fall, certain that I would b e The Pride's tipping point - the one person they needed to take the paper from flawed to fabulous. Thank God the writers and editors from Spring ' 04 had already put together most of the material for the "Welcome B ack" issue, because as soon as Co-editorsin-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Mike Dolan began trying to make story assignments I was lost in a sea of inverted pyramids, compelling ledes, and the t errifying realization that if I interviewed someone for a news or features story I would have to actually quote them. Accurately. I learned quickly that the place for someone with no news writing experience is Opinions — where the asshole analogy lives on quite comfortably - and thus I began to make my mark (and reputation - be that as it may) on The Pride. I also volunteered to act as Copy Editor and spent my Monday afternoons trying desperately to ferret out those insidious typos, punctuation, and grammatical errors that plague every writer of English, and seem particularly unique to those MLA aficionados (reborn as Pride journalists) who find themselves having to apply the 'and now for some- thing completely d ifferent' A P style - where dashes are to have a space placed fore and a ft, and titles are always placed in quotations - never underlined - among others. (Editor Lesson One: no matter how many times anyone reads through the paper before it goes to the printer, there will be mistakes.) I eventually learned how to conduct an interview and take accurate quotes (the secret is in the sound bite - it works for print as well as TV), what the hell a compelling lede is, and the secret of the mysterious inverted pyramid (put the important stuff up front, j ust in case your editor needs to lob o ff the end of your story to make it fit the "news hole" - another of those charming journalist jargon bits.) I wrote stories and opinions I was proud of, and cleaned up the copy as much as was humanly possible, but I knew I could do more to improve The Pride. This spring I took the leap f rom Staff Writer and Copy Editor to A rts & Entertainment Editor. Finally The Pride would give priority to more of the artsy-fartsy stuff that happens on and around our campus and less to the blockbuster entertainment that hardly needs another marketing boost f rom the puny Pride (see how far my vision has fallen on pages 1720.) Huge props to Yvonne Brett and Zachary J. Simon who covered a lot of those types of events, but as we got f urther into the semester even they began to feel the need to explore other types of writing. (Editor Lesson Two: Pride writers write what they Black and Tan, it's not lust a drink BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer A troubling comment f rom March has had me thinking about the mistaken idea behind the drink "Black and Tan." It is has troubled me for some time and taking the time, j ust weeks before my trip to Ireland for the summer, to set the story straight. During one of my sessions of eavesdropping j ust before St. Patrick's Day, I heard a young student commenting on his recent sampling of a beer concoction called "Black and Tan." For some, taking the delicious stout Guinness and mixing it with any lighter beer is considered "Black and Tan." This is not the case. Why would I be concerned with this drink? Well, it has a dark history that many bartenders and patrons may not know about. "Black and Tan" beer alludes to a faction of under trained and violent English police occupying Ireland. Their u niforms were thrown together and consisted of dark tunics and tan pants, giving the nickname "Black and Tans." There violent occupation attempted to stop the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) and the freedom of Ireland. Their bloody occupation included killing a dozen spectators at a football match during the Bloody Sunday in 1920. The drink is originated in Ireland, of course, and must be combined with Bass Ale. The misconception is that it is mixed with Harp, another beer by Guinness. Simply, Guinness is Irish and Bass is English, when mixed Guinness is on top. Two forms of thought are concerned with the mixing of these beers. One theory states that since the Irish beer is on top and suppressing the English, it is a good thing. Second, the beer should not be mixed with any beer f rom England and it should be enjoyed unadulterated. For me, this is the best route to go. Photo courtesy of Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride want, not what you want.) The Pride generally consists of about twenty staff writers maybe half of those consistently submit stories on a weekly basis. The editorial staff has learned that the easiest... no, most efficient... no, likeliest way of getting writers to submit by deadline is to get them to write what they're interested in writing. Being part of The Pride staff is a kind of weird quasi-job-that'sreally-a-class, where you have the A students who work really hard (the ones you'd promote to the good staff writer positions if this were a real job) and the D students who slack off all semester and then stuff your email box last minute with stories for points to try and pass the class (the ones who'd be fired for missed deadlines if this were a real job.) As much as I have come to love my writers who have struggled to take their writing to the next level over the course of the semester (you know who you are), the camaraderie with the other editors has been the highlight of the job; nothing brings people together like having to show up on campus for meetings at all hours of the night and weekends, with the common vision of making The Pride something better than it was the week before. Which brings me back to the original reason for writing this piece: there is not a single one of you or us who will ever be The Pride's tipping point. The Pride is a team effort. The only way it will get better is when enough of you lay down your critic's pen and pick up a staff writer's or editor's pen. This has been an extraordinary year for The Pride: Liz and Mike have developed a dedicated staff, most of who will not be here next semester. If The Pride was a traditional publication, it would have the benefit of staffers who spend years developing it into an award-winner. But The Pride has to rely on students showing up every semester who are willing to put in the hours necessary each week (lots and lots of hours) to put something worth reading in those newsstands around campus. So no more mewling and puking! Add section 41261(COMM) or 42078 (LTWR) to your fall schedule and let's see what you can do to improve The Pride. And in the meantime, I 'll go back to kidding myself that ' I could do better.' Hello operator...

Williams was known only by his child-given moniker, Elm Street, on Sunday May 1 when he was center-stage at Anaheim's House of Blues, With the poetic interpolation of former CSUSM student Anthony Blackshir, a /k/ a Ant Black, Elm passionately swept the crowd with sledgehammer-like delivery through arguably the best tracks on his album titled "Tha Hurdlez." It was evident that fiis riveting truths acted as a beacon for the connecting audience. Hands were above heads in motion, and people roared with every rhyme. Elm's live performance was an explosive treat. "We shut em' down," said Williams. "People were telling me that they haven't seen someone move the crowd like that in a long time." Hands down, the CD is great, but, as it is supposed to be, it can't touch the raw quality of a live performance. Once the MC made his way offstage, he was flooded with compliments, hugs, and handshakes f rom a variety of fens. The album chronicles times good and bad, experiences with women, a dab of sex-life, and most importantly, the primary message: stand up and do something about the daily hardships and struggles of African-Americans and-minorities in modern America. From start to finish, Elm puts you on an emotional roller coaster evoking smiles, deep thought, angst, and plenty of anger. Make no assumptions. Elm is neither tetchy about oppression of the past or simply pointing his finger at White America here, but rather, presents inequities that he has felt as an African-American man headed^ in a positive direction. On one exceptional track "This Is Me," Elm spits raspy fire in a verse to make people aware of his harassment f rom crooked police while attending a community college in Riverside. Out he raps: "Po Po (police) run up on me point their gats, screaming freeze while I 'm facing their straps, one false move a nTll viciously react, I hate cops but not cause of the that, let me freeze time, allow me to take you back, I was walking home, pigs say boy what's going Z ERO C L O S I N G C O S T S p,p — -' on, asked to see my ID, I act like Ice-Cube. no let me see yours, wrong move he opened the door start swinging like M ike..." "Being a Black man in America is a struggle everyday" said Williams, "I want to be the next Malcolm X and I want to set a p'ositive example for black people, especially young kids who are up and coming." Surprisingly, the album's Y O U W A N T ONE H OME. soundscape is pretty nice considering a limited budget and the fact the he worked five jobs and attended school full-time while putting this piece together. Elm's changing lyrical tone throughout the album brilliantly meshes with his clever metaphors and humor. His beats are h is very own west coast sound better known as "Thunder Funk." The tracks range from smooth with "Circles" to head-banging rugged with "Westcoast Slide." "I call it thunder f unk because it's just thunderous.. .its j ust Riverside's very own sound," said Williams It is clear why he kept the unchosen name that he hated as a boy, Elm Street. Williams got this name because of his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Freddy Krueger-like behavior when in school. Last semester, a r un i n with police cost him graduation and a track scholarship f rom which he depended on financially. Elm Street is fitting for all the dark times Williams has had throughout his life. Get the album. It's pure talent and it is real as it comes. Williams sells copies of his album and can be contacted at: 909-816-3448 or willil86@csusm.edu. - WE HAVE TWO COMMUNITIES [AND FINANCING THAT'S JUST RIGHT FOR YOU, TOO.] !

Copeland, hailing f rom Florida and other parts of the East Coast, Copeland's lead singer Aaron Marsh has been enveloped in the Florida music scene for quite some time. As well as being the lead singer, Marsh also plays over half of the bands instruments, including the guitar, piano, mellotron, and organ. The new CD is filled with quiet and subtle tones that are all too real when coupled with Marsh's soft serenading voice. With tracks such as "Sleep" which is very heavy in piano to tracks like "No One Really Wins" a nonstop rock song, it seems that listeners can get a wide variety of songs, from one extremely talented group. Even when you finish the ten song LP, you'll be waiting for more, but sadly to say there is none, at least not for now. The diversity in the CD will simply amaze you as you skip from track to track, each time finding a new and ever evolving array of songs. After signing with the independent label The Militia Group, Copeland has been touring nonstop all around the U.S. The band's CD is good, but if you get a chance to see them live, jump at it, it will be one of the best shows you've gone to in awhile.

Navy Seal teammate, agent Gibbons XXX is placed at the center of a conspiracy on American soil. His mission is to utilize his virtually unlimited resources to uncover and foil conspirator George Derkert's (William Dafoe) plans to forcefully take the presidency. Duh! Along the way, he gets help from Zeke (Xzibit), a chop shop boss - go figure - and Lola (Nona Gaye), who quite simply adds the frivolous sexual innuendo - and a ridiculous wig. What else? There's a bunch a cool rides that Xzibit and his buds from West Coast Customs probably pimped out with lots of chrome. One more thing: plenty of females exuding mountainous cleavage. Needless sequels typically suck. They suck even more when they try too hard to be cool and they're James Bond rip-off action flicks. But if you're entertained by gunfire, explosions, and the first ever thug-style tank-jacking, then you should consider "XXX State of the Union." While Vin Diesel (the original XXX) desperately explores for more "grounded roles" such as Disney's "The Pacifier," Ice Cube has assumed the rofe of Darius Stone, the new XXX: more dangerous, rugged, and fearless, according to NSA superman Augustus Gibbons (still played by Samuel L. Jackson). Amazingly, director Lee Tamahori - while possibly smoking a new brand crack - does a splendid job of making all that insipid dialogue accurate. Yes, the plot is so horrible it's laughable. And yes, at any particular point of this 122 minute formulaic bonanza, you may realize that the movie is going nowhere. That is of course until Stone maneuvers a tank on an aircraft carrier like it's a formula one racecar, and then ditches it by converting it into a projectile with a jet catapult. That sequence was definitely worth an instant replay with that cool ESPN sports center melody. A fter being recruited by a former Let's talk about the dialogue one more time. Why is it necessary for writers of action movies to include the lame one-liners to encapsulate every action sequence? Simon Kinberg, who wrote the upcoming "Fantastic 4," can certainly write some hilarious racial humor, but his characters sound too dumb to achieve the impossible goals set by the plot. Maybe that's why Tamahori flooded this flick with computer generated car chases and explosions. When is Hollywood going to realize that they could market these motion pictures in an innovative way by just referring to them as "action" without the misleading trailing term "movie?"

In a phone interview, Thornton said the movie - a remake of the 1976 classic starring Walter Matthau - is "funny as hell. We hope that we are just going to entertain people with it." Thornton, seen recently in "Bad Santa," and "Friday Night Lights," reprises Matthau's role as Coach Buttermaker, a former minor league baseball player and heavy drinker, who takes money to coach the Bears, a team of untalented little leaguers. The movie follows the team through the season as they struggle to win. Although they may not be the most talented little league team, the Bears have heart and that proves to be enough to get them to the championship game that will be played against their rivals the Yankees. '"Bad News Bears' is pretty much the same movie in terms of tone as the original movie with Walter Matthau," Thornton said. "It is a comedy that is a family comedy but still kind of pushes it to the edge in terms of the humor Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and the language and things like that." "It is not like a movie that is going to change the world or anything," said Thornton, "but a movie that might make people kind of think about themselves and their kids a bit more and realize that not every kid can be the best at something, but if you try hard maybe you will be better than you thought you were." When asked how he felt about playing Matthau's character, Thornton said, "It always makes you a little nervous when you are reprising someone's role. He (Matthau) was one of my favorites. I always loved Walter Matthau and I actually knew him," said Thornton. "I just wish he had been around to see what we did here because I think we tried to update it and modernize it a little bit but we tried to keep the integrity of the original movie," said Thornton. "I think he (Matthau) would have been pretty proud." This isn't the first time Thornton has played a coach. He also played Coach Gary Gaines in 2004's "Friday Night Lights." "I don't mind playing a coach," TUTORS NEEDED! •Excellent Pay •Flexible Hours •Great Location We are looking for talented tutors for Math, Chemistry or Physics.

"I always wanted to be a teacher so this gives me an opportunity to do that." Thornton was attracted to Buttermaker because, "I like characters who seem to be sort of on the edge of life and kind of learn something along the way to improve their lives somehow," he said. "He (Buttermaker) was kind of a loser who hooks up with some other losers and together they kind of feel a little bit more like winners." Playing a coach gave Thornton a chance to work with kids. "I always have f un with kids," he said. "They (the kids) were perfectly cast and really good kids." "They were pretty wild and they needed to be for the movie," said Thornton. "They also were not great baseball players - which we also needed - but they were all good enough to where as the movie went along they got better at it, which is the way it happens in the movie." "Bad News Bears" is directed by Richard (Rick) Linklater who also directed "School of Rock." "Rick was really determined to keep the original vibe of his movie and I think he did a great job," said Thornton. "Rick tried to keep it a little down low because the original movie in a lot of ways, kind of had an independent film feel to it," said Thornton. This film was written by Glen Ficarra and John Requa who wrote "Bad Santa," which also starred Thornton. This film also stars Greg Kinnear ("Stuck on You") and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") and many other new young stars. "Bad News Bears" is scheduled for release on July 22.

San M arcos mit mir new website mvwJanatthehlimds.com �m Alfred Chu interviews Tom Cruise BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride And so it b egins...the summer blockbuster movies. With a bigger audience in the summer come bigger movies. In an effort to promote one of those movies, Tom Cruise granted a conference call interview with several college newspapers f rom around the country to discuss the highly anticipated remake "War of the Worlds." Cruise is working with the master and possible pioneer of special effects, director Steven Spielberg once again to tell the story based on the H.G. Well's novel. "War of the Worlds" is about Ray Ferrier (Cruise), a working class family man who shelters himself f rom his family. When the unexpected and unthinkable attack and invasion by aliens happens, he must save his family and fight for survival. Also starring is Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins. "Fanning is great," said Cruise. "She is a very talented actress. Just personally, a sweetheart and funny. We laughed a lot." 7 "Ray is a guy who is the total opposite of who I am. He doesn't t ake responsibility for his children. He is not taking responsibility for his family or the f uture. But I understand Ray because I have lived in those kinds of blue collar areas growing up. I went to many different schools," said Cruise. It was the sudden delay of Spielberg's and Cruise's other f uture projects that caused this film to be greenlighted. Similar to their past films, "War of the Worlds" contains all the genres of film and there- image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks SKG fore welcomes all types of audiences. "I most definitely enjoy communicating to audiences," said Cruise. " I make movies for audiences. I definitely want them to see it. But I do believe that films have different audiences. A picture such as "Collateral" is not going to have the same kind of broad audience as a picture of "War of the Worlds" or "Mission Impossible" or "Magnolia." But I do believe it is important to try to get that film out to that audience that is going to appreciate it and wants to see a movie like that," said Cruise. With two of Hollywood's talented artists teaming up yet again (the last project Spielberg and Cruise worked on together was "Minority Report"), an estimated budget of $128 million, plus the score of John Williams and the screenplay of David Koepp (Jurassic Park), a critical and financial success is sure to follow.

A movie is a lmost never as good as t he text f rom which it came, but "Hitchhik- • 4b whctrie/ er's Guide to the G alaxy" comes d amn close - probably because Douglas A dams wrote the screenplay. Seeing t he Vogon destructor fleet, the spaceship Heart of Gold, M arvin, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox come to life will delight those who have read HGG, as will the large amount of A dams' wit that finds its way onto the screen. The plot is fairly t rue to the novel, and slight departures don't annoy or distract. The brain-ticking laughs caused by direct quotations of the text will have HGG f ans gasping for breath and leave novices momentarily incapacitated. The sentient m achines and aliens in the Hitchhiker's Guide include every obnoxious, outgoing, depressed, anxious, u nsure and unstable person you have ever met, but here you get to laugh out loud at them.

SIMON For The Pride The "Hitchhiker's Guide to the G alaxy" begs simplification - clever categorizations that will make you feel all the more clever f or going to watch it: 4 Star Wars, Fight Club, and The Never Ending Story... as directed by Monty Python.' A nd if you've enjoyed none of that y ou'll still deserve a lobotomy for missing this, one of the most r efreshing things I 've seen in some time. Of course, with the novel released more than 20 years ago, it was a long t ime coming. Hollywood's decadelong (give or take) creative drought likely had more to do with HGG being m ade now than any noble patience in the vein of ' let's not do it till we can do it right.' The author o f the original book was a key figure in production, which is good, most o ften essential, ESPECIALLY when the book is considered a staple of nerd culture. I 'm not sure how many copies this s eries'(that's right, series, a big pungent $ word) has sold thus f ar or whether the number will justifiably double before the y ear's out, but I do know that I 've been recommended it for a decade, and t hat's a fter seeing it on T-shirts.

T hat's right, with hardly t he slightest taint of nostalgia, H GG shows that first rate r ubber molds beat second rate silicon chips any day, not that any of the e ffects are second rate. Another r efreshing aspect is that it is truly, though likely not by design, one for pupae and fossil alike. Randyness is minimal, but noisy larvae will j ust make you miss what isn't already muted by lingering laughter. I enjoy probably more than my f air share of glorified violence and hyper sexuality, but if there ever was a chance to reach out to someone who enjoys nothing else, the shared misanthropic core might j ust b e the ticket. Sure there's some mushy corn toward the end, and the sleazy nonhero has b een overdone, but geeks and grotesque alien monsters need love too, right?

The filmmaker and political activist announced on Tuesday details of the 'hell-raiser' schol- arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004 speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press release from Moore, the "Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos" will award $2500 scholarships to, "the two individual students who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of Cal State San Marcos." "I hope this scholarship will encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they believe in," said Moore, "When students (take on the administra- tion) for the right reasons, they should be rewarded." To be eligible for one of the scholarships a student must be enrolled in a minimum of at least six units each semester during the 2004-2005 academic year or for the fall 2005 semester and have a minimum grade point average of 2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application form including three personal references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael See MOORE, page 4 Giving the gift of life CSUSM sounds off in San Diego Campus turns out to donate blood to the San Diego Blook Bank BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Four students participate in protest at the governor s local office Photo courtesy of San Diego Blood Bank BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer dressed in funeral attire and holding picket signs, silently marched around the lawn in front of the steps to the State Capitol building.

Undergrads and others came out to give blood to the San Diego Blood Bank on April 19 and 20. The big white bloodmobile was parked in front of the Dome from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. The pressure to donate blood was intimidating for some, but others thought of it as a way to give back. The blood donation process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The majority of the time is spent answering questions to determine donor eligibility. If you have a blood communicable disease like HIV/AIDS the blood bank does not want your blood. Once you are done with all the paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have enough iron in your blood. Once you pass the test you are ready to donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood. "The only fear I have is the needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill. This is a fear that I also shared. What one discovers however is that after the first poke of the needle the fear subsides.

"We are mourning the (death of the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying less because of the budget cuts students are having to rely more heavily on financial aid and side jobs to complete their education. "We can't balance our state budget on the backs of students," said Bustamante. "Raising tuition fees is shortsighted and lacks vision. We need an educated workforce for our economy." Applause erupted from the crowd when Bustamante thanked the students for their participation. "Thank you for coming. Thank you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the Legislature. The next generation of students will benefit because of your advocacy," said Bustamante. Hancock urged students to get involved on their campuses and do everything they can to express their voice. "Student fees have risen faster than inflation. We have to turn this around. We (legislators) are fighting on the inside, but we also need you to fight on the outside." After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do some shopping, or hang out on the capitol lawn before attending the Assembly Budget Subcommittee meeting on education finance.

That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher Career Fair—the exemplary qualifications of CSUSM teacher candidates. "Our teacher candidates are highly qualified and sought after", said Sandy Punch, the director of the career fair. There were 41 school districts from all over the state in attendance as well as a few from Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. CSUSM has hosted this event for 13 years for alumni and newly credentialed teacher candidates. The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and meet with representatives from various districts as well as hand delivering their resumes. The fair is a great opportunity for our future teachers tofindout about local school districts as well as those in other parts of the country. Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about the new schools opening up in the area and they are currently accepting applications for every position. "We are especially looking for multiple subject credentialed candidates with a BCLAD, Special Education, and Speech certificate," said Stover. Many of the representatives expressed their need for certified BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of Advanced Study in Biliteracy: Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions available for math and science teachers in the middle school level as well as Special Education teachers in every grade level. Poway, Temecula, San Marcos and Murrieta school districts had the longest lines of candidates vying for a chance to speak with the representatives and hand in their resumes. Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find the best fit for my needs," said Meglio when asked what type of district he is looking to work for. Regardless of the amount of teacher candidates graduating each year in California (about 400-500 for CSUSM alone), our teacher education program has a reputation for training high-quality teachers. Cheryl Cauldren, who will be graduating this semester with her multiple subject credential, said she was, "wowed by the instructors and the least effective (instructor) was really great." Chris Meglio said he is proud to be a CSUSM grad and has already received job offers for the upcoming school year. John Mendoza from Palm Springs Unified School District has been attending the fair for the past eight years and comments on the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've hired two right out of the fair," said Mendoza. When asked about what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said, "Don't limit yourself, locals may need to look outside of San Diego County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always hiring qualified teachers."

There were various reasons students were inspired to give blood. "I give blood because it helps save lives," said senior biology major Rich Romero. Romero explained that blood can be the difference between life and death for someone in a disaster like the Oklahoma City bombing. "My best friend had a blood transfusion which motivated me to give blood," said Equal Opportunity Program (EOP)/Student Support Services (SSS) staff member Rosa Mora, "It is very interesting and very fun."

The letter needs to include a biographical description, why you attend CSUSM, why you should receive the scholarship and, "What you have done to take a stand and make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to nominate themselves; in addition students and faculty can nominate students they feel deserve the scholarships. All applications for the scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the winners will be announced in early June. "At a time when the media and politicians have shown a lack of courage, we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show us how patriotic dissent is," said Moore. Students and faculty had various responses when asked who deserved the two $2500 scholarships. "I don't know of one this year. I actually have been thinking about it," said Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Vicki Golich. Golich said she is unsure if the scholarships will be good for CSUSM in the long run.

Student Eric Kiefer had someone in mind to receive the scholarship. "I would say Claude Sayf because he was a hell-raiser, but he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams because he's put up with a lot of hell," said Kiefer. Student Daniel Lowe was at a loss. "I have no idea. I haven't really been paying attention to it," said Lowe. Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student in mind. "Jason Williams. The whole issue regarding his arrest was really controversial and it was clear that the university didn't want to talk about it. He suffered because he had to deal with it and he was able to organize people around campus in a way nobody else has," said Rodriguez. "I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell you who doesn't deserve it, the College Republicans." Student Financial Services was unavailable for comment on the scholarships by press time.

STOR ,;:,; II �THE PRIDE SAN DIEGO, from page 1 lege (SDCC) to participate in the walkout. Cal State San Marcos student Tasha Iglesias organized the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal State San Marcos students went north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at the state capitol. Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small number of Cal State San Marcos students on the San Diego bus. "It's not about how many people you have, it's about how many people you can educate," said Iglesias. The bus dropped off the Cal State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the grassy area on the corner of Park Boulevard and B Street where the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500 students gathered there, holding signs and shouting at the traffic on Park Boulevard. Reporters and photographers from every major broadcast and print media source in the area were also on hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere. "Fight, fight, fight! Education is a right!" among others, were the chants used by the crowd both at SDCC and on the march. Anna Matysiak, a sophomore business major, took the bus down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project. "We wanted to see how the media portrayed the event," said Matysiak. The project, part of a Tuesday, April 26, 2005 women's studies class, was governor, said to the delegation is a K-12 education. designed to compare the media's that tuition increases were a part The delegation reported to the coverage with first hand observa- of the overall increase in the cost mass of protestors after meeting tions of living in California.

Shay addressed the crowd and said the police were there to protect from traffic; however, the crowd did not respond favorably to the efforts of the police. Shay then ordered the police line to stand-down. The protestors were escorted west on B then south on Front Street. From there, the march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons. Many of the chants fell on deaf ears, however, as the protestors changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep the soldiers out of schools" was answered by an old man watching the march. "Then who's going to fight the war?" said the old man as he stood outside a wig shop on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Broadway. Although no CSUSM students participated in the impromptu detour, Iglesias was discouraged that the group's negative interaction with the police would reflect poorly on the walkout and the message of the day, which was protecting the diminishing budget of the public higher education system. "It divides the group," said Iglesias, "If we are supposed to be united, and then we divide, what message does that send?"

Here's some practical advice to building your 'office' wardrobe. What to purchase: Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can mix and match. The colors you choose should be solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc. Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match all of your bottoms. The key word when shopping is "modesty." Black pants are essential but be sure they are appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset. Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your panty line it's too short. A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be purchased as well. Bare legs are very common in California—but not if you land a job in a more formal environment like the East Coast. A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black— it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer months. Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your new clothes and your feet will be killing you after nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will Last you a long time. Where to purchase: Skip the department stores and go straight to the specialty shops in the mall. You need help picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of selection and customer service. This is because these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize in the clothes you are looking for. Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at department stores, but you will get a much better selection at their smaller brand stores located in the mall. Only buy a few items at a time. Every company is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example, a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage casual dress. A clothes designer might encour- Images courtesy of menswearhouse.com and casualcorner.com age a modern dress. An investment bank might encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled into your new job you will get a sense of what everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the preferences of the company. How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it: Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent a considerable amount of money on a few items that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of months I was very bored with my wardrobe and had no funds to do anything about it. One of my co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most trendy office attire and since we were at the same pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy new clothes so often, Betty told me she works part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few hours a week and the little extra income combined with the hefty employee discount allowed her to add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per month. Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per week and received a 40 percent discount. After working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

For graduating students and those looking for careers in the exciting world of corporate America, there is a lot to prepare for. After the resume, the first in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective employer is key to nailing the interview: you have to get it right the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut it any more. Marketing yourself is not always as easy as it seems. Appearance is essential and demands attention to detail. Matching socks, ties and shirts with your suit or jacket and pants will be harder than you think. Thefirstrequirement is to have at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue— dark blue, not powder blue. Some places will also recommend black suits, but they make you look like an IRS agent. You can buy suits off the rack, but in order to look professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the mall, having your suits fitted is the best way to go. Look for wool suits to maintain a classic look and stay away from hip colors. The suit is not the time to be thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's Wearhouse, are great for a proper fit and good quality. "Your first interview suit depends in large part on the type ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy blue are always appropriate," states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide- lines on building a wardrobe and dressing for success. The website even shows you how to tie a tie. Until you are making good money, never spend too much money on ties since the patterns go out of style every six months. Buy ties at places like Kohl's or on the sale rack at department stores. In addition to suits, pants, like khakis, and jackets are a good choice to have. You can mix and match the outfits. Shirts are an important part of the outfit for men. Until you become confident wearing suits, solid colored shirts are the best way to go. Key colors would be white, blue and grey to match the suits. Try not to clash patterns on your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy to find at places like Ross Dress for Less or Marshalls. Be sure to get measured for your shirts before you buy them. Proper shirt fit depends on your neck and arm length measurements, and the cut of the shirt, so look for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper size and cut. Shoes and socks are easy for men to find as well. Discount retailers like Ross Dress for Less and Marshalls are also great for shoes. Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g view; Men should have a clean'; haircut and neatly trirtuned or no facial hair. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum, oneringand a dress watch—no big diver-styles. Body jewelry should be taken out until you at least have the job, then you can put the tongue bar back in. fckiMitnty 10% Student (Discount!

He is determined to show people Remarkable, inspiring, driven; all are words to describe Jason Hinkle, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. Last month, Hinkle was awarded with a statewide Muscular DystrophyPersonal Achievement Award. This award was given to honor the contributions he has made to his community as a person with a disability. As a recipient he received a certificate and appeared on a locally broadcast segment of the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy association (MDA) Telethon. Now that he has been awarded statewide, he is in the running to receive the nationwide award, which will be announced in May. Some of Hinkle's major personal achievements include his three degrees Photo by Adia Bess / The Pride (Bachelors of Arts in HisJason Hinkle tory and Visual and Performing Arts with a minor in that having a disability doesn't Film Studies and Master of Fine mean hiding from life.

Hinkle has accredited part of his achievement to his mentor Maribel Garcia, a women's studies professor on campus. "I see him as a disability rights advocate," said Garcia. Garcia went on talking about the powerful impact Hinkle's accomplishments have had on others, and even shows his movie as a part of her class curriculum. "He's changing lots of lives," said Garcia. Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's movie on campus, September 30,2005 in Arts 240, to see the messages that have already touched the lives of many. When asking Hinkle what advice he would give to students he said,; "Life is like an open book, and you're the one who fills in the pages.

O I ��„ 10 Tuesday, April 26, 2005 OPINION THE PRIDE Progressive views are not on the agenda of Benedict XVI BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride The selection of the new Pope Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those of the Opus Dei. For years many American Catholics have been waiting for the pope to die hoping we would find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is not going to be leaning to the left or moving the church forward on liberal issues. He has been quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the chances of reform in the church doctrine over the next decade concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes the issue of women in the priest hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution. In talking with religious people on campus, I was told that Bible passages are often interpreted to say that males are the rulers of the church. In this country we have sectors of Catholicism and other religions that believe men are the head of the church. Most sectors of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem to practice tolerance. Others believe that progress must start from the church. Former Catholic student Nathan Pagador said, "I think Catholics in America have gotten more liberal and more accept- This letter is in response to Yvonne Brett's article "What is Bugging You?" What's bugging me? How about the article that Yvonne Brett wrote where she insults the customer service in local businesses! These employees are just doing their jobs when they Dear Editor, This letter is to help inform my fellow students at Cal State San Marcos about t he issue of fee increases. Over the last couple of weeks ASI has been promoting events to protest these fee increases without informing the campus community of other financial allocations found within Governor Schwarzenegger's Photo illustration by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride is one other conflict that has been raised: Benedict XVI's past. This would be the Nazi question. Was he a Nazi? Looking at his age it is entirely possible. After some research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler Youth. Many sources say that the Hitler Youth was possible to resist, and many did according to those sources. "(Benedict XVI) found refuge in the Catholic Church" wrote author Beth Rowen. I would not conclude that our pope is a Nazi, but at a young age he probably went along with the movement out of ignorance like many German's did in Hitler's nationalistic state. On television this week, Bill Maher made up a clever new rule, "No picking a German pope the day before Hitler's Birthday. You have just given every conspiracy theorist in the world a hard-on." Only time will tell whether this pope will create change or if it will be more of the same. As an agnostic, I really could care less who the pope is. But given the huge fundamentalist/evangelical movement in current U.S. politics and culture, and the blurring of the implied separation of church and State, the pope becomes a figure that no one in the world can ignore. ing of other faiths. So right now we are raising the issues, such as women in the priesthood." Catholic staffworker Ann Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want to be part of the priesthood, more power to them." Many religious people are questioning whether Benedict XVI can do a better job than Pope John Paul II "I think that John Paul II really raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going to be a hard act to follow." Many Christians and Catholics hope and expect him to be a good pope. The church however seems to be at a crossroads. "They need to figure out where they stand," said Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister, "they must address the issues of AIDS in Africa, zero population in china, and the overall worldwide culture." With the issue of culture there greet you or repeat your order. Who are you to criticize how people like ME do our jobs? I 'm a Blockbuster employee and I 'd like to point out to you Ms. Brett, that by announcing your movie titles, w e're making sure you get the correct movie. There ARE people out there who grab the wrong movie or get the incorrect movie behind a cover box. We don't care if you're a "loser on a Friday night" because we're WORKING on a Friday night! Businesses that double check things for you and greet you are just doing what is asked of them. There's a little thing called Secret Shoppers that us customer service specialists have to worry about. By not completing tasks like greeting you or repeating your order, we risk our reputation as a good customer oriented business. Also, the whole Starbucks deal, how are they to know you're the only one at the counter when they're behind the counter blending your nonfat latte? They're doing the same as Blockbuster; double checking for all the customers. Maybe the person who took the order heard something different and they make SURE it's correct for you! It's obvious you don't work in the customer service industry so before you think about complaining about people like me doing my j ob correctly, think of what we have to go through dealing with grumpy customers like you. If great customer service is what really bugs you, then start shopping at Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit right in! Stephanie Michael 2005-2006 Proposed Budget. First, pursuant to the Higher Education Compact that was agreed upon by the California State University Trustees and Governor Schwarzenegger, the proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes a 3 percent general funding increase (yes you read correctly, an increase). This means that the CSU system as a whole will see a funding increase of $71.7 million for basic budget support. Second, pursuant to the same Higher Education Compact the proposed budget also includes additional funding of $50.8 million to be spent towards enrollment growth. This means that the CSU system will be allocated more money to accommodate a 2.5 percent increase in enrollment. This will affect CSU San Marcos students because it will accommodate a slight increase in enrollment for the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006 terms. Third, while student fees were increased 8% for the 2005-2006 school year, students can find solace knowing that a substantial portion of this fee increase will be dedicated to financial aid for needy students. So while • the advertisement in the April 13 th edition of the Pride (paid for by ASI) dons the caption, "Need help paying for school? Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to this misleading advertisement, more money will be dedicated to providing financial aid. So with all of this said, I would certainly hope in the future that Associated Students Inc. does a better j ob informing its constituency(you the students) of both sides of the story.

I don't remember the last time I finished 600 pages in a day, but the pace of the plot kept me turning the pages (in spite of reading all the footnotes), and I just had to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little thin, but this is a plot-driven thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can they really do that?' action. As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he didn't disappoint (though I'm guessing he may be joining the Salman Rushdie Club for famous authors threatened as THE PRIDE in Dan Brown's know about global warming via a techno-thriller, but hey, literature is loaded with fiction aimed at social change. Perhaps to avoid the infidels club, Crichton illuminates his non-fiction conclusions regarding global ^ ^ U warming data in an Author's Message at the end of the book, and offers an editorial entitled "Why Politicized Science is Dangerous" that is also enlightening and speaks to the author's motivation. An extensive annotated bibliography gives readers plenty of information to research the issues raised in the novel. The annotation for Peter Huber's book "Hard Green" has me thinking he may have been lX0VSi the basis for Crichton's smarty-pants Kenner characx ter, so I'm going to start there. killed by it), but the point is to THINK "State of Fear" is a fun read and not accept everything you with a terrific plot that will read as truth. Some will find make you think twice next it ironic that a popular author time some talking head tells is asking you to think twice you the sky is falling. Enjoy! about what you think you infidels.) The arguments are pretty one-sided with Ph.D.s arguing with actors or socialites about the science, and I will personally take issue with worshipping at the altar of the cost-benefit analysis (my husband was _ "Angels & Demons" BY ANDREA MORALES Pride Staff Writer Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert on ancient societies, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And so begins the story of "Angels and Demons," another best seller by Dan Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci Code." Langdon is asked to analyze a mysterious symbol that has been seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. Once Langdon arrives, he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, the most powerful known underground organization. Langdon is asked to help solve the murder. The Illuminati brotherhood is feared to have resurfaced to carry out a legendary vendetta against their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church. Langdon agrees to help, and soon discovers that the murder victim has a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, meets Langdon in Vatican City where their worst fears are confirmed. On the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied hunt through sealed crypts, burial chambers, closed cathedrals, and the most secret vault. Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that winds all through Rome. The trail will take them to the ancient meeting place of the Illuminati brotherhood. "Angels and Demons" mixes art history with mythology. Brown expertly guides the reader through compelling twists and turns using theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you are looking for a book that will entertain you with every page, Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an excellent choice.

SIMON For The Pride Such an overload of guilty pleasure and juvenile genius is going to send you running one way or the other, and it should. And I should be able to avoid a copout. But my evaluation is still stuck on whether to use thumbs or digits. I watched from the edge of my seat. I let my mouth hang open. I laughed out loud. But I'm fairly certain it was one of the s tupidest movies I've seen in my life. Now to be fair, I had all those same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star Wars" prequel, and they were trying to be deep. "Kung Fu Hustle," however, entangles the line between laughing at and laughing with while giving you the feeling its creator might well be doing the same. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, and starred in this... this movie, and as its tragic, complex, and eventually god-like hero, it's hard to tell which is his strongest field. Every aspect seems a tribute to himself, despite the fact that the will to make such a thing might be his most original asset. If there was one less iota of effort put into this film—if it were not so completely itself—I'd be able to work on a much more scathing review. Still, there's no denying the inconsistency between the Axe Gang's initial (stylishly) stolen style and their eventual descent into bland buffoonish thugs. The use of Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics CGI—clearly the point that will divide genre fans—provides more laughs than gasps, and is used so heavily in thefightscenes that breaks from it make brilliant martial artists look like amateurs in a second rate music video. As a fan of both ridiculous slapstick and gory violence, I can say that reminder of what a totalitarian government can do to art. When you don't know what you think, and you don't know what they want, I guess it's good to know we're getting what we deserve. For more information: http:// www.sonypictures.net/movies/ kungfuhustle/ there's a place for both of them, yet kitschy childhood romance and butt gags just don't mix with shooting women in the back and cutting (CGI) alley cats in half.

San Marcos, CA MISSION PARK �16 A &E Tuesday, April 26, 2005 T H E P RIDE kHon BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Located on California's Historic Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi presents an opportunity for CSUSM diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight. Dinner at the sushi bar begins with a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers topped with a light dressing made of vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted sugar peas. After a few beers and couple shots of hot Sake, the entrées served by Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy, Jun Jung, were eatables delectable enough to turn the mostfinickyeater to glutton. The first entrées served consisted of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly garnished with a mini palm tree made of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with lemon wedges and wrapped with ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6 dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes provided. Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of rolls beginning with the cucumber paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild flavor consisting of an inside made of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab meat and asparagus. The roll is held together by a thin layer of cucumber wrapping. The cucumber paradise roll is paradise for the taste buds, but is difficult to fit in your mouth due to the size of the roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a six-piece roll that can serve as a meal on its own and costs $6.95. The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano roll. This was my first time >J -li -I sampling a volcano roll and I was pleased. The volcano roll has a crab meat, cucumber, and avocado inside, topped with baked scallops. The baked scallops are then garnished with black fish eggs and shavings of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs popped every time they hit my mouth providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll was nothing short of spectacular as the roll is served in a decorative boat made of carrot and cucumber. The volcano roll is an eight-piece roll costing $11.95 and is worth every penny. The volcano roll is a definite must for the first time visitor. Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled. The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion, and masago. The roll is then held together by an outside layer made of soybean paper. The presentation of the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with flavor to back it up. The combination of shrimp tempura and crab meat is a gratifying combination for any palate. The Hon roll #2 is an eight- • y Photos by Thomas F. Gorman III / The Pride (From upper left) Salmon with palm tree garnish, albacore wrapped in ginger leaf, cucumber paradise roll, volcano roll, Hon roll #2 and caterpiller roll. piece roll and is moderately priced at $8.95. The meal ended with a bang as an animated-looking caterpillar roll consisting of an eel and cucumber inside was served. The outside of the caterpillar roll is decorated with artful pieces of avocado, octopus eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with children, or for those who wish to feel like a child again. The flavor is amazing as the tastes of the avocado and the sweetfleshof the fresh water eel combine Ki forming a truly unique dinning experience. Hon Sushi is located at 1733 S.

XIII NO. 12 Cougars win national recycling competition Campus diversity showcased C ampus earns the top spot in Recyclemania BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer International Fair entertains and informs students It's official: Cal State San Marcos is the best. CSUSM beat out 46 other college campuses including Harvard, Yale and Brown in the recycling rate category oftheRecylemania competition which ended April 9. According to the Recylemania website CSUSM Bowling Pin BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse range of cultures is one of the stated goals of CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission statement. Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted students to the largest event of the year put on by the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated Students Inc. The 3rd annual International Fair was held on Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300 people who attended the event. Following a fashion show featuring garments from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed w on t he c om- Guy trophy petition with a recycling rate of 43.65 percent. ^Recycling rate is determined by calculating the percentage of recycled materials in relation to trash by weight. "California State_ University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new Recycling Rate contest," reads the Recyclemania website. Second place in the recycling rate category is held by Tufts University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent. According to Recyclemania our closest competition, "Tufts University closed the gap with Cal State San Marcos to less than three percentage points, but never wound up getting closer than that." For winning the contest CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement. The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing 3,484 passenger cars from the road for one year, 132 acres of forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions from the power consumption of 2,066 households" "We are excited and so proud of the campus for their effort," said Green Team Member Mui See RECYCLE, page 4 Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride See FAIR, page 2 Students line up for food at one of the many club booths.

Master of ceremonies Dr. Carlos von Son said that the Brazilians had to mask their martial arts training with art and music in order to secretly train for revolt against their oppressive government and this resulted in a crafted art combining defense training, music, and dance. Tango dancing from Argentina was taught to students by professional tango instructors. Many students had a chance to see this seductive and romantic dance in action before being invited to try it on the dance floor. Jewish dance from Israel was then presented. The dance was easy to learn and most of the crowd was able to participate. The dancing filled peoples faces with smiles and laughter. Students from the Latino Club and MEChA danced to Mexican folk music or salsa and meringue. "This event housed spectacular dances which give a chance for us to observe different cultures, their customs, and spirit," said Italian student Roxana Righetti, "this gives students here at Cal State San Marcos, a chance to see our diverse cultures around campus." There was a wide variety of international cuisine available at the event. Food included nachos and agua fresca from Mexico, to Japanese tea and traditional salads from the east.

The poems offered blessings of hope, remarked upon times of sorrow, and expressed messages about spirit. Most students thought the fair was both fun and educational. Some students cited the university mission statement that talks about diversity. Student Cinthia Tirado said that she liked the fact that this campus displayed different cultures on our campus. "When the campus talks about diversity in the mission statement this definably helps us appreciate it," said Tirado. A student at the model United Nation's (UN) booth offered her perspective of the event. "We like to contribute to the international vibe on campus and open students up to new ideas about the United Nations," said political science major Jennifer Runge at the UN booth. One student gave her opinion as to why multicultural events on campus such as the International Fair are important. "It helps us to understand different cultures from different countries. I think it's important to know more about what's out there. Especially in the U.S. where many people don't know much about other countries," said student Jana Somolova. The organizers of the event were more than pleased by the participation in this years fair. "It went really, really good! We hope to provide and encourage students around the campus to learn, share, and celebrate different cultures," said International Club President Emily Ng.

FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer With the stress of finals and fall 2005 registration quickly approaching, stress levels can reach an all time high for many students at CSUSM. In the midst of this end of the semester chaos, don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a mandatory test for all baccalaureate students at CSUSM regardless of their major that must be completed within two semesters of attending the university. According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the end of the second semester, registering for any further classes at Cal State San Marcos will be restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here two semesters and you haven't taken the test yet...get to it. What is the purpose of the CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an attempt to bring everybody who is a student here up to the same level of computer skills, so that when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know that this set of students had these particular skills." The CCR covers five main areas: computer concepts and terminology, soft-ware ethics and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email, basic word processing, and basic spreadsheet concepts. Students are required to take and pass all five sections with a grade of " C" or better in order to fulfill the requirement. Students who don't pass a certain section of the test only need to retake i§WANTED>:; SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!» $ 1 1 . 0 0 - $ 1 7 . 0 0 per hour Call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M can take the CS100 course." ably make sure that students are The CCR was intended as a required to take a computer class temporary program that would rather than a test," said Hoilmen. be phased out because the uni"I think it's a little redundant versity assumed that student skill because when you come from that section.

This is the question that every graduate dreads as family and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer, of course, is to get a job and start paying back those student loans, but there are other options. "Delaying the Real, World: A Twentysomething's Guide to Seeking Adventure," is a book written by Colleen Kinder that encourages new graduates to take a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going to work. Her mission is to get young people to realize that there is a small window of opportunity for them to follow their passions before they get tied down with a career or a family. Sometimes this generation of "Twixters" is criticized for not wanting to grow up and take on responsibility, but traveling to another country and getting a job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a fellowship offer for $2,500 from www.delayingtherealworld.com for someone who proposes a unique and worthwhile adventure. The fellowship might be a longshot, but it is worthwhile to pursue the idea of adventure. There are many organizations that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another country (see box). They arrange for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are to teach English, and all you need is your Bachelor's degree and a TEFL Certificate, which takes about a month to earn. There are many advantages to teaching or working in a foreign country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and the culture. You will have time to really see something* other than the usual tourist traps, and will gain confidence in yourself by facing unique situations. Upon your return to the USA, you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume and show your potential employer that you have the capability to handle any challenges that may come your way. You do not have to go through an agency to line up one of these jobs, but your parents might feel a little more comfortable about , your adventure. Many potential adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have posted on message boards.

The video said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff, and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency for water quality. Sekich said everyone in the community contributes to urban runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean up effort, whether it be through education, beach clean ups, or awareness. "For me, Earth Day is every day," Sekich said The Surfrider Foundation organizes events like their "Hold On To Your Butts," drive which brings awareness to cigarette filter pollution, and monitors water conditions with their Blue Water Task Force. They also legally protect the coast and educate students like 8-year-old Ezekiel Lopez. Are we supposed to recycle?" Lopez asked after the video. Of course, Sekich answered, and for that, she gave Lopez a hat, which he said he liked. Free stuff is one way the event recruited about 50 students. Ulbert contacted Sun Diego, BY JON RODLEY For The Pride Free pizza and hot wings lured students to a Surfrider celebration for Earth Day yesterday put on by the ASI Programming Board. "For April, Earth Day was the only important holiday I felt needed to be addressed," said Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she organized the event. Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called "Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San Diego and the world. The video showed surfers dropping into gorgeous waves and clean water, contrasted by images of Imperial Beach in San Diego County where plastic debris and other byproducts of urban runoff cover the sand at a disgusting rate. The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within an hour to the coast; these cities are built in areas of the water cycle where fallen rain collects oil, settled air pollution, pesticides, fertilizers, and other pollutants like cigarette butts. The effect of this urban runoff ZERO CLOSING Photos courtesy of Jon Rodley donate T-shirts and hats, videos, and a surfboard. "It was really good that they were happy to be involved," Ulbert said. After the free food from Pizza Hut and the presentation by Surfrider, Mike Gener and Ryan Thompson of Stoked on Life showed a bodyboarding video they produced titled "Aquatic Ninjas." Later this week, Earth Club, a co-sponsor of yesterday's presentation, will host a free planting ceremony today at 11 a.m. at the library and a beach cleanup and bonfire Friday at Oceanside Pier.

FRANKEL & JENNIFER IANNI Pride Staff Writers Students are also given a chance to write a general comment about the professor and the course itself. For some students, consulting RateMyProfessors.com is a vital step in the process of registering for classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website before registering for her classes. "It's been really good," she said. "Actually, I picked all of my teachers for this semester, and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices." "I think it's really good to have a peer assessment from people who've had the instructors previously," said Cindy Roper, a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use it responsibly." Although Roper has never posted a review on a professor before, she plans to this semester. "I have a teacher that I don't feel is very qualified this year and I think that if others can benefit from that knowledge, I would like to tell them about it," she said. Students from all over the nation have been inspired, just like Roper to tell of both their joys and their grievances. "From students, the response is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski. So do the professors at CSUSM actually look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure they do. If I was on a website like that I'd wanna see what people thought about me," said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf. One professor admitted to looking at her own posting and to those of her col- Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn student seeks Trigonometry teacher who is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains coursework clearly—andby the way, being hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've been looking for. With over 530,000 professors rated by former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on their professors for free. Information is easily accessible with regards to which professors are student favorites, which are easy graders and which ones you might actually learn something from. These features make RateMyProfessors.com a handy tool when selecting future courses. John Swapceinski, the president and founder of the website, explained his inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I was attending San Jose State University in Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class with a particularly dastardly professor. She was an unfair grader and downright nasty to her students, so I decided to start RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world about her and other professors like her." Seven years, and many other disgruntled students later, Swapceinski's dream, has most definitely been realized. The website rates professor performance in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

Frankel / The Pride leagues. "I think it's always interesting to find out what students think about how we're doing and it's really important to us... I'm always interested in getting more specific information about what the class is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and writing department. Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort of thing that I place a lot of confidence in, or that I would trust, or that I would allow to influence any professional decisions or activities with my colleagues and faculty," said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want to make it very clear that I have a very low opinion of this website." When asked if professors should be concerned about a website such as this, McDuffie said, "To the extent that the website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their reputation as scholars, as teachers and as people, then, yes, I think they have reasons to be concerned about the website, just as they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication that would involve them. There's basically no due process attached to the website." Students don't just use this as a way to criticize their professors. Teachers might be pleased to find out that "over 65% of the ratings are positive," according to the website. The people behind RateMyProfessors. com maintain that the views expressed on the website are purely the thoughts and experiences of student contributors. They acknowledge on their website that although the ratings are not statistically valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. However we often receive emails stating that the ratings are uncannily accurate, especially for schools with over 1000 ratings." Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's only obligation is to the students. "Where else can you find out what others think of an instructor? When you have the option of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really like some information? It also gives you, the user, a place to voice your opinion. It gives you a place to make a difference in your education," the website stated. In the past, there have been attempts to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said. If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change their perspective. "Think of this site as an opportunity to hear what your students normally keep secret from you." One of the more lighthearted aspects of the website is the hotness of the professor, which is indicated by a chili pepper next to the professor's name. While not taken as a serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper. Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the humor in the hotness ranking and stated, "I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers. It's f un to see who got them. To try and figure out what they're there for. In some cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about power and charisma." While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students. This website provides an open forum for students to voice their opinions to other students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching, RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool that you've been searching for. Have a hot semester!

Q x n M - F 8am-6pm & Sat 310 S. Twin Oaks Valley Rd, Ste 107. S an Marcos. CA 92078 �By Bryan Mason For The Pride First off; I need to give some props to the paper for its front page, the breaking news from last week: CSUSM RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING. Hot Damn. I mean, best in recycling; I'm still trying to catch my breath from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is recycling that big of a deal that we need to proclaim it to the world? I know when I picked up the paper and read the headlines I almost fainted. And I also loved the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about, like the article of getting a job a ffii graduation, gets a second seat to the breaking recycling news. I mean come on, is recy- cling bigger than what we are all here for, to better our education and eventually get a job? We are out here busting our Asses trying to get good grades, get a good education, and get a degree, If recycling is-so damn important that we need to back page actual news that some students could learn from and use to better their job acquiring chances, then our priorities are seriously down the drain. Between the recycling and the repetitive news about eating disorders, I neariy put the paper down and just walked away. However I trudged on and kept reading, and then I came to the second page of the variety page, and found Concert Etiquette. I would expect to see Opera Etiquette or Church Etiquette, but aren't concerts the things you go to where everyone is f just wfld and doesn't s eemto give a rat's ass about what they are doing for a brief couple of hours? Somebody needs to get back to me on that one. Especially if wearing deodorant and not getting killed in the mosh pit {which can easily be avoided if you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going to concerts, it will save you a lot of "pouting time*' and money. The paper is just filled with advertisements, even though Brian is doing an awesome job selling the ads, it seems that the paper quality still needs to grow, because it doesn't matter how many ads we sell or how many coupons the reader can cut out to get free tans, the articles still need to improve. Including my On the note of my own two articles on Motorcycling and Cultural Absorption (which the title was misprinted, way to go guys) I'll let you guys make your own judgments. And for the Zach's article, which had a bitter, bitter tone, I think that it's great that he is voicing his opinion on "jocks" and "dykes," but I think I could have found a few choice words to leave out. And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the Barkers" and the new 50 Cent album both equal up to shit. I mean come on, everyone knows that 50 Cent has just totally gotten too hyped up in himself and we all saw this coming after his first album could stay in your CD play for no more than ten minutes. If TV and radio got any worse I would imagine there would be many more cults and mass suicide groups for me to join. I'm still counting down the days until someone finally goes berserk because they've seen one too many celebrity reality shows and goes on a shooting rampage. There were good things about the paper, like the layout and Jason really deserves credit for it. The back page was awesome, as a matter of fact the whole arts and entertainment part had ridiculously good layout And a quick congrats to Derek Heid, who did the Ombudsman last week, for stepping up to the plate, balls out and writing a good critique. Despite all the bitching about sports and the constant battles, the paper is improving and I don't want to sound like a broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that note, I'm going to go sit back, relax, and bid you farewell. Want to tell me to go to hell? Send it to mason025@csusm. edu. OR VOL.

What is bugging youP BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Most of the time I am a fairly contented person cruising through life and running my errands as expeditiously as possible. Sometimes though, I get to thinking a little too much about the way stores set up their "friendly" policies. Now I love to get my fix of Starbucks at one of the stores conveniently located at approximately half-mile increments from my job to school, but one thing drives me nuts. Why do they even bother to ask your name and misspell it on a cup when they insist on shouting out "non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be really simple to just say your name? Blockbuster is even worse. After they have checked out your DVD's and you have paid, they yell out your selections loud enough for everyone else to hear. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just chose those titles a few moments before and I'm pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out. Is it some sort of insidious plot to point out what a loser you are on a Friday night by yourself in a video store? I guess I must be a grump, because I think overfriendly service in a store is annoying. For example, when I walk into Millers Outpost, they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you doing today". Well, I might be doing just fine, but I sure don't feel like yelling back to them. And, what if I am not doing okay, am I supposed to yell that back to them? I would much rather be able to find someone easily when I need help, but somehow they seem to mysteriously disappear. On a different note, I don't know if you have noticed, but someone has kidnapped all of the people who do radio and TV voiceovers and replaced them with one man and one woman. You know the voices. You hear them on the Carl's Jr. commercial and on car commercials. They speak in a monotonous nasal voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible. The first time you hear their voices it is different and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use their voices in about every other commercial. In fact the guy voice even took over an entire radio station. Star 100.7 used to have a variety of DJ's, but now this one guy drones on about being "Jack" and how they don't care if we don't like what they play. Well, I am glad "I don't know Jack," because he really bugs me. What is bugging you? ¡kp%€ Mo^e C^ilSM Gerrit S o Y oa.

Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact Jason Ëncabo / The Pride that we are told to or because we need to? Is love a necessity? In short, yes. This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened. But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all these times just a dream until we find our better halves? Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle. Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them. Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent. Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted? No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a flame. Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us? There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue. Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where to send them mason025@csusm.edu. Please recycle this paper is typically understood to be created-from, whereas Hate prefers to be observed-by. Nonetheless, when considering their shared primal and political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its _ _ _ _ _ usefulness. And 7 is never deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last. 1.) Ire Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd better. 2.) Spite Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed, lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually dilute, if not expel the affliction. 3.) Offense Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds the act is rarely any kind of justice. 4.) Vengeance If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual, powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless affair with foresight. 5.) Prejudice The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species, particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to debasing causes. 6.) Genocide This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood, thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely, would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything. 7.) Psychosis The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as a Psychotic. �THE PRIDE A Tuesday, April 19, 2005 O cJQ cmhim^HB L eetee by P*o£ Jane Cfaaaee lpm, Arts 111 ASI Blood Drive—free snacks, flip H UH Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride wiches, delicious salads, traditional corned beef and cabbage, to steaks of all kinds.

The crowd seems to range anywhere from early 2.0's to mid 50's depending on the night. For all of us college goers, I suggest checking out O'Sullivan's on a Thursday or Friday evening.

That's where George Lutz is mistaken. Ryan Reynolds plays George in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family is cursed by living at 412 Ocean Avenue in Long Island. The movie is based on a true story and the house was once a mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham supposedly slit his own throat so that his soul would never leave the property. The movie begins by showing the horror that happened in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family in the house, claiming that the voices told him to do it. Flash-forward and the movie focuses on the next family, the Lutzes, who move into the house. The graphical effects are frighteningly good and may sometimes even cause you to jump in your seat. One example is when George and his wife, Kathy (Melissa George), are in the middle of sex when he all of a sudden sees a dead girl standing behind her. Unfortunately, the director resorted to a few cheap tricks, like moving magnets on the refrigerator to spell out phrases, blood seeping out of nooks and crannies, and a provocative pot- smoking babysitter. But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing, and George's dry humor brings laughter to the times when the director's overuse of emotional bullshit would have otherwise been unbearable. This remake leaves out a few details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder that would have made the plot even more interesting. For example, George is supposed to have an uncanny resemblance to Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest is supposed to go blind after visiting the house. My suggestion would be to see the 2005-version first, because it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to learn more about the story. Real Laughs i n "A L ot Like L ove%®^ BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better. "A Lot Like Love" proved itself to be above the boring sap that the average romantic comedy usually portrays. Fake, cheesy, and unrealistic are words that surprisingly don't describe this Images courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures love story. You will want to see Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the screen. The first couple of minutes were slow, but the pace picked up during Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy Oliver falls for Emily immediately as she humors his boyish innocence. They meet up the next day, and spend the afternoon together exchanging quirky comments and spontaneous moments that each would remember. Oliver finds himself getting attached to a seemingly uninterested Emily and tries to save face, making a deal with Emily that he will have a job, house and car all wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six years. They depart as the story unfolds with more spontaneous outings on New Year's, and a road trip that lands them naked in a National Park. Yet, getting to know each other better as friends sparks a romance that neither is willing to admit—until it may be too late. The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't help but love, and Peet is entertaining with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is extremely fascinating to watch. This is espiecially because many scenes looked as though they were un-scripted, which added to the cohesiveness between the two characters. Although this film contains some unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from the rest giving a few real laughs, and good feelings rather than a gag reflex. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Larkin said that the other parts of the bill are personally disturbing, are a threat to his livelihood as a college professor, and would open up professors to frivolous lawsuits. He said that the bill was designed to make the public falsely believe, "that there is a rampant problem of ideological indoctrination on American campuses and to suggest that the problem isn't addressed by existing legislation." Citing what he said was dangerously ambiguous wording in the bill Larkin read a portion of SB 5, "Teachers should not take unfair advantage of a student's immaturity by indoctrinating him or her with the teacher's own opinions before a student has had an opportunity fairly to examine other opinion upon the matter in question." Larkin said he felt there were problems with this reference to student immaturity in the bill saying that, "by definition (college students) are smart and well educated" See FORUM, page 2 Professors team up for Oaxacan medicine and culture exhibit BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer California State University San Marcos professors Bonnie Bade and Deborah Small have combined their expertise in order to create an exhibition focusing on the medicinal concepts and practices of indigenous Oaxacan communities living in both California and Mexico. The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy traditional music, dance and food from local Oaxacans. The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups, "Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will perform. Hands-on activities will be provided by the Escondido Children's Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food will be served. A video will premiere; featuring the voice and guitar of CSUSM's Eduardo Garcia, and President Haynes is scheduled to speak at the festivities. "Oaxacalifornians" is the term used to describe the hundreds of thousands of native people who have left their homes in Mexico and migrated to California in order to make a living. With the help of the Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small were able to photograph and document the connections between the communities in California and Oaxaca. "This has been a unique collaboration between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and anthropology students, as well as the indig- years on the ethnographic research. The exhibit takes a look at contempoenous Oaxacan community," said Bade.

For the past two years I have been mastering the art of being a coxswain (cox for short). I steer the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and encouragement, and let my boat know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish line during races. Since we don't have a rowing program at Cal State San Marcos, I cox for the San Diego Rowing Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six of the rowers in my boat were Olympic Athletes, and we travel all over the world racing against other programs. Most people associate rowing with having very strong arms but the majority of a rower's strength comes from their legs. The seats slide on a track with wheels, and rowers use their powerful legs and core strength to move the boat. Rowing is truly an orgasmic sport.. .pun intended. Nothing compares to being neck and neck on the race course, amidst the elements, staring down the coxswain in the next lane over, and motivating your rowers to fly past the competition and win the gold medal. After all, only first place counts in rowing—there's only one medal to be earned per race—and boy does it feel good to get it! Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3 was the San Diego Crew Classic at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast. The race course is 2000 meters and the seven lane course is marked by buoys of different colors. Strong winds, usually coming in from port side, make this race both challenging and exciting for coxswains, rowers, and spectators alike. The course can be particularly hairy at the starting line, where coxswains need to back their racing shells into stake boats with very strong cross winds making for a difficult start. This past weekend, I coxed three different racing shells down the course. All of our races were very competitive but my most exciting race took place on Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked boats of Olympic athletes. We were fighting for second place all the way to the 1500 meter mark, when Marin made a big moved for the finish and we fell slightly behind. In the end, we took third place, but we were happy with our performance and I steered a good course. I would have gotten really wet if we'd won first place! Come on now; get your minds out of the gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first place boats get thrown into the water by their crew. Seeing coxswains get thrown into the water and watching races is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides. Going to regattas can also be a great way to meet men. When else can you watch burly athletes walk around in spandex? And girls, isn't it nice to be familiar with your prize before you get it home? Any students interested in checking out rowing or coxing ¡should visit the San Diego Rowing Club Website at www. sdrc-row.org. This sport has changed my life and made me a more dedicated person, student and athlete. After all, everybody loves a good cox! The end of the semester is so near you can taste it. But you are still here, wading amongst the numerous deadlines which keep you awake at night. If you're looking for a way to relieve some stress, and maybe get your mind to stop and focus for a minute, I have one thing to say to you: go climb a rock. Five minutes away from this campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is a place called Solid Rock Gym. It is an indoor rock climbing gym, one of three in San Diego. It is the place to go if you want to quiet your mind and reengage your body. When you are balanced on two footholds and holding on with all your strength to two handholds, trying not to fall off the side of a wall, it is hard to think about that paper that is due next week that you haven't started writing yet. And when you begin to feel the burn in muscles you didn't even know you had you almost forget that you have to go to class in two hours. And most importantly, when you finally master the incline on the traverse you've been climbing for weeks you realize that there is nothing you can't do and that research paper no longer seems so daunting. There are two types of rock climbing: ascent climbing (which includes top-roping and lead climbing) and bouldering. Ascent climbing is climbing vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a partner to take up slack on the rope as you climb upward). Bouldering is climbing close to the ground; either on short vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of bouldering is that all you need is climbing shoes and a chalk bag. There are no harnesses, ropes or anchors involved. Every Wednesday, with a valid college id, you can climb for $10 if you have your own Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

Thefirsttime you go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions. The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice. I recommend that the first time you go you rent only shoes and a chalk bag and get the free lesson on bouldering. Start with the bouldering, it is the essence of climbing—just you and the rock. It is the best way to improve your balance, strength and flexibility. Plan on buying your own shoes soon after you start because you are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes that fit well. Good shoes can cost anywhere from $50-$150 dollars and they are well worth the money. The gym is a great place to learn and a great place to train in the off season. But soon you will want to go outside and climb real rocks. Lucky for you it's climbing season and Joshua Tree is only two hours away. There are also plenty of great climbing spots in and around San Diego County. Ask the employees at Solid Rock about where to climb or go pick up a book at REI, Adventure 16 or Nomad Ventures. But whether you become an avid climber or a once in a while adventurer I promise it will help to relieve some stress and give you a new perspective of just what you are capable of.

W+i&iki Strong kifa strong famitmt strong commwifos Over 400 women raped and murdered, 1,000 missing, and the numbers continue to rise in the northern Mexican province of Chihuahua. The atrocities were vividly outlined in a packed room at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the evening of Tuesday, March 22. Entitled "The Disappeared," the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a chilling realization to those who had yet to hear about the events in Mexico and a forum for those actively working to change the situation. Following a brief introduction by CSUSM sophomore Nancy Martinez-Molano, the audience heard the first-hand account of Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become a victim. After leaving for work one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and after investigation by local police in Chihuahua City, she was found raped and murdered. The cousin of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and tortured into confessing to the crime. Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a crime she says he didn't commit. Translated into English as she spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted that by speaking out the Mexican government "is beginning to do its job." Many families in Mexico share similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir lives in danger. Much of the blame for the murders has been laid at the feet of the police in northern Mexico who if not involved in the murders themselves have been at least uncooperative infindingthe real killers. Drug runners have also been fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young women, leaving their bodies in the desert. Serial killers from the United States have also been linked to the crimes, apparently noting the ease with which they can murder in Mexico. The situation has grown steadily worse since 1993, when prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ- ment of poor migrant women that have become easy targets for assailants. Much of the controversy has been centered on Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, where many of the murders have occurred. Situated directly across from the Texas town of El Paseo, only the muddy waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil. The over two-hour long event was closed by Sandra Bello, a young photographer from Tijuana who added a strong visual to the presentation. Bello, who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the shirt design was inspired by a similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest and remembrance. We're turning "t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as she showed pictures of a diverse group of people wearing the shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes, Bello has been traveling both in the U.S. and Mexico on a mission to bring awareness and change. The feeling in the room went beyond sadness to one of action and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story Patricia [Cervantes] told made me want to get involved" Mailbox R ental I mo : si ans i iwstesfàl « «ügil M«ard The UPS Store I Let us sign for and hold your mail and packages In a secure setting so you can deckle when to pick them up.

This is my penance» An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols. (Nice guy, in great shape,) An apology to you, the Readers. : ;; , V ^ . : • ' ^ •' I'm sorry. I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my integrity, and my loyalty to you. You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in challenging the article Phoenix wrote about the "Pride denied ballot access." Phoenix felt the need td defend her article, and wrote an editorial in response. Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM farfromNCAA" Both appeared in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just before you went off to party hearty M arty^i-. ' The editorial made comments about Athletics Director Nich- ols that have been defended by this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole." The 'news5 article "CSUSM far from NCAA" had some corrections on its 'facts/ And that was the extent of wrongdoing admitted by this paper. What a crock of S@#%! This paper was turned into a means of settling scores. The Athletics fee made it on the ballot, but the Pride fee didn't. So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan wanted to be heard and tasked Phoenix with writing a 'news' article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by answering the questions posed, were able to take issue with the '"Pride denied ballot access" and the article ended by taking stabs at the Athletics fee. Things didn't end there. After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor taking issue with the article, and I joined him in the attack, we got a one-two punch of Phoenix's editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next publication of the Pride, - T hetnto. I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend before that issue of the Pride was published, I contacted the Pride office to inform them my Ombudsman column was on its way, I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I suggested a means to rebut the comments made by Athletics Director Nichols. I suggested that we make an apology for the errors pointed out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to the Editor, but we should list the numbers. I was convinced that if the Readers knew the numbers involved, we wouldn't approve the fee. Fd like to say that Ijust wanted the Readers to be informed, but that'd be a lie. I didn't approve of the fee, I still don't. But, I should never have gotten involved beyond my little gray box. I was asked by Elizabeth to write the article. I declined, due to a conflict with my role as Reader's Rep, Ombudsman, whatever. I did, however, write up an example of what I was suggesting and emailed it to the Pride office. That's what I'm sorry for. I made it personal. I was willing Women's history not to be forgotten BY JARED PETERSON Pride Staff Writer I forget sometimes about how many burdens my wife and modern women in general take upon themselves. Society places Now that Women's History month has more and more pressure on women to take come to a close any thoughts we have had on an increasing number of responsibiliabout the role that women have played in ties. I don't want to go into all the reasons history slip from our minds. Some read- why this is, I just want to recognize that ing this might be thinking, "I didn't even they are rising to the challenges and doing know that March was Women's History great things in the world. Arthurian legend tells how the Knights Month." Well, it was and I would like to write one more article about women. Not of the Round Table were inspired to be couabout women of the past, but about those rageous in battle because of their love for a woman. All of us today have a woman in that we live amongst today. I've been thinking about how much our life that has inspired us to be courathey deserve our respect. I'm a married geous. Take a moment out of your day and CSUSM student and my wife recently went go thank that woman. Tell her that you're out of town for a couple of weeks to visit wishing her a happy belated Women's Hisher family. While she was away I began tory Month and thank her for the difference to realize how much I take her for granted. they have made in the history of your life. Her name is Stephanie and she's the best. iiRT o «i* Tuesday, April 5, 2005 to use the Pride as a means to settle an agenda. I was wrong. For that, I am very sorry. When Tuesday came round that week, I grabbed my copy of the Pride. On the front was Patrick's "CSUSM far from NCAA" I knew that Patrick took the job I declined, I knew that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't fault Patrick. He's always struck me as a decent guy. I don't believe he knew the whole story. As for our Editors-in-chief and Phoenix: Wednesday night I got an email from Dr, Nichols. He wrote some nice things about me, but 111 get to his point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging allegations of a personal nature against me." Then, he used the word ^libelous." Dr. Nichols hoped to set up a meeting with the Editors and myself. The meeting took place between Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr. Nichols later that week. I had hoped and still do, that Michael Dolan, and especially Elizabeth Baldwin would do what I'm doing now. To admit fault To apologize. To tell the whole story to you, the Readers. That's really all Dr. Nichols wanted I especially hoped Elizabeth would come forward. She's been the Editor-in-chief in charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee and Dr. Nichols. But, that word 'libelous" has been the means to justify doing the bare minimum for fear of legal action, in the guise of Corrections Clarification. A clarification that was anything but clear. Pride is not the name I'd give this paper at this point And now, I'll do what others are unwilling. I submit myself to your judgment. If you, the Readers tell me to "step down," I will. Derek Heid will be thefirstat bat next week as the potential Oman for next semester. He'll tell you thé results.

This was a forum that was heated, civil, and at times out of hand, but continued to show how polarized our country and campus is. Even though I am a liberal, even though I'm a feminist, and even though I 'm a hardeòre believer in progressive issues, I am comfortable saying that you conservatives have a point when it comes to "academic bias." There is a load of professors at this and many universities that are left of the spectrum. They have their own views as it relates to their disciplines. My fellow professors in my major have very strong points of views on women's rights and to some it may appear to be "bias." What we argue is that some disciplines can not be taught any other way. SB5 wants to create an environment for learning that is "fair and balanced." I don't have a problem with that, as long as "fairness and balanced" is not like Fox news. In fact, the more views a class has, the better the debate it creates. This forces students to think critically and become greater learners. I personally am horrible articulating a view I do not hold; thus, when there is an alternative voice, it creates a constructive level of dissent to help students really think about the concepts we learn within our disciplines. We like to throw around the meaning word bias as means of defining a class that is one sided. But bias means "to influence in a particular, typically in an unfair direction." I believe that most, if not all teachers are not "bias" but they teach subject in a one sided way. The problem I have with SB5 is that it only affects liberal majors. It is a direct attack on one of the last institutions that hasn't been indoctrinated by conservatives. I am no more biased than my friend Nick Bonomi. As Cheyenne Barr so eloquently put it "we just see things though a different lenses." But for the conservatives to charge that there is no academic bias, as they define it, in the economics department or the college of business is outrageous. I believe economics is taught in a very one sided way. To make women's studies or sociology "fair and balanced" on the terms Mr. Morrow would like, is equivalent to economics teachers teaching communism along with capitalism. We must show "all views." It was stated in the debate that economics has no biases, "its just math." I personally would advocate changing the class name from Econ 201 to Capitalism 101 to reflect its real teachings. I also heard complaints from students that say if they spoke out in class they would be marked down and failed. The first thing I would say is that there already is a system for that. By the end of the debate I got the feeling that you conservatives had a bigger problem than disagreement. In the debate you all used tactics of intimidation and disrespect towards the speakers who do not agree with you all. I have seen that also used by some conservative students who "speak out in class." Who are you to say the teacher is being an "indoctrinator"? As far as I'm concerned, if you are disagreeing in a respectful manner and encouraging debate on the basis of an issue that is one thing. However, if you make derogatory comments, use tactics of intimidation, march off and slam the door, throw fits in class as a means of arguments and even make treats toward teachers... Well let me just say that's "immature" and it won't get you far in life. So, if you all want to pass legislation that goes after majors who are liberal, you must apply the same to conservative majors. Then you can go on and fairly preach your doctrine of "fair and balance." Felipe Robinson Zanartu Women's Studies Major VP Progressive Activist Network GradFest is here!

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Shakespeare is for snobs and sissies and people who read books. Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an alienated listener. For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear" is not the play to change the mass's consensus that the greatest plays of the English language would be a lot better if performed English. Known across many other languages as one of the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum, the most offensive and depressing aspects can hardly be blamed on the author, who was (we somehow need scholars to confirm) 'quite a character.' From the onset the stage is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use of half a dozen large sliding doors—built to resemble imposing castle gates—adds a nice feudal tone, but the external praises end there. Attempting to mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack (excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the best with what you've got' is your more often than not—but the first rate performers are just enough so to show the second-raters for what they are. Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to factory farmed sitcom stock. Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed rather than clutched at. If nothing else, watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to see modernized Shakespeare done right and well enough to earn the Bard at least a second 1 chance. "King Lear" plays through April 17, with a handy and necessary student discount. More information is available at sandiegorep.com. Photo courtesy of The San Diego Rep.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth every penny. Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure, there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore makes this a film to be held for dear life rather than imitated to death. Sure, like too many comics, its lines are jerked by melodrama—the fermented testosterone bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue becomes as much an element of style as bleeding fluorescent whiteout. It's all about honoring the original art, baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor. "Official Director" Robert Rodriguez was kicked out of the guild for working so closely with the creator, Frank Miller, (then actually giving him credit for it), but the end result is better than anything since "Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest Director;" the more Hollywood realizes the talent of comic creators the closer he'll be to another job at a video store. Not that a great look doesn't usually enable mediocre performances, and not that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove most screen actors overrated, but a few did give more than could have been had by those with cheaper agents, or more love for the series. It might be too disturbing to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as a prostitute, or too disappointing that she does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis would be silly, if its story context were not already exaggerated to perfection. Basin City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of their own, hold up under mild torture, and twist something metal into both outdated and newfangled gender concepts. The bare breast shots can be counted on one hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the encompassing imagery that the other hand can stay in your popcorn. And if you think that analysis was vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of "Desperate Housewives" spice up late night TV BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of ABC Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the housewife has been reinvented. The new housewife is beautiful, sexy, smart and desperate. ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the way they think about housewives and forcing people to rethink the meaning of desperate. The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama, mystery, and comedy to show the lives of suburban housewives. It is narrated from beyond by Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder. suicide in the premier episode. Mary Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't been solved, but her narration provides a unique perspective into the lives of her friends and neighbors. All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what makes them so relatable. Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary Alice left behind. Each week they find themselves in extreme situations and rely on each other for help. Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't exactly part of their group. She likes to stir up trouble and has no problem using her sexuality to get what she wants. She is the woman all women despise. All of the women have men troubles. Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike killed a man. When the women aren't trying to fix their men's problems and solve their own, they're trying to figure out who murdered Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding Mary Alice's suicide. A common theme runs throughout the show and that's happiness. All of the women are unhappy with some aspect of their lives and trying to figure out what went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how to get it. The cast of this show is beautiful. The women are sexy and the men are hot. The acting is excellent and the sets are appealing. "Desperate Housewives" has been on a mid-season break but is back now with six new episodes in a row. Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. on channel 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers Donna Frye San Diego City Council member, former mayoral candidate and political activist Donna Frye has a message for CSUSM students: "Get involved. I would say... not just involving poli- tics, but just involving life in general." Frye came to campus on March 16 to help celebrate Women's History month at the Clark Field House. Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members. She began by sharing a personal story about the spousal abuse she endured for a number of years, which she said made her a stronger woman in the long run. Then Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage to professional surfer Skip Frye started her political involvement writing legislation about water quality issues. Frye spoke about being elected to the city council in June 2001 with no intention of furthering her political career. "Becoming an elected official never appealed to me," said Frye. She said that the lack of integrity of the elected officials in San Diego at the time Fulbright scholarship representative visits campus BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer University Police were on hand St. Patrick's Day evening to assist law enforcement agencies from San Marcos, Palomar College and Escondido at the San Marcos Marketplace sobriety checkpoint on San Marcos Boulevard.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, individuals can apply for grants to study or conduct research internationally. According to Director of University Global Affairs Dr. Peter Zwick, there are currently two students from Cal "State San Marcos who have applied to the Fulbright program. Both students have passed the first of three rounds in the selection process. Zwick said that these are the only students from the campus to ever apply to the program that he is aware. Claudino told the students that attended the informational meeting that the Fulbright program is an important opportunity for them. "It really opens doors, and the networks are amazing," said Claudino. He said his mission for coming to the campus was to increase diversity in the Fulbright program and encourage students to apply who are minorities.

"Since the ones around were doing a bad job, I thought I would do a better job," said Frye.

The HE and Zwick are beginning a Development Initiative which would target campuses like Cal State San Marcos who currently are not very involved with the Fulbright program. Zwick will receive professional training about the program, which will enable h im to disseminate information to more students on campus. Claudino also discussed the background of the Fulbright program, and tips on how to apply. The program was started in 1946 by f ormer Sen. J. William Fulbright of A rkansas to enhance the relationships between the U.S. and other countries a fter W WII. Now, in a time when the need for global communication is pertinent, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study including A frica, Asia and the Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are f unded by the U.S. government and the host country covering travel and study for up to 12 months. Projects vary according to individual's i nterests and may include university coursework, independent library research, special projects in the sciences, or a combination of these aspects.

Sara Long, coordinator for Student Activities at ASI r affled o ff p rizes that included hats, t-shirts and g ift certificates. Student reaction to the St. Patrick's Day event was positive as the c olorful dancers seemed to brighten u p the day for all who attended. "It was appropriate for the day. Good times. It was a great presentation and a good show," said student Brandon Brown. ASI, f rom page 1 "ASI is supposed to b e the student voice," said Marc D eGuzman, who is also r unning for president.

The candidates proposed ways of getting students more involved on campus by t aking interest in both political and social events. Some thought communication between ASI and students was in need o f a makeover. " There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos," said Heidi Doyle, candidate for the College .of A rts and Sciences Representative. All of the candidates addressed student concerns regarding the cost of getting an education. "We need tuition to b e down. We need financial aid to b e up. We need students' rights to b e a priority for our legislators," said Cheyenne Barr, V P of external a ffairs candidate. "Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts don't a ffect the tuition here at school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP of external a ffairs candidate. CSUSM Athletic Director Steve Nichols also spoke at the event to answer student questions and concerns about the proposed Athletics f ee referendum. " What we are seeking is forty dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be able to build t eams in men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not saying I'm gonna make college cheaper for you . ..I'm saying that this is gonna add value t o the campus." When asked if the candidates addressed the issues that were important to h im student Omar Yanez, a j unior criminology major said: "Not exactly, but I think that if anything, Sarah (Leonard) might have had a closer approach to the issues that concerned me." " I would like to see more academic representation of the diversity on campus, said Yariez. "On election day, (students) should definitely vote, take two to three minutes of their time—just vote."

On Wednesday, March 17, all 21 members and some Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a table outside the library and sold pizza for two dollars a slice, to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Walk. The MS walk will take place Saturday April 9 and Sunday April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad. "Last year we donated about $850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto. "We expect to donate over $1000 this year." "One of the girls in one of the sororities has MS and last year we donated in her name. This year we will be donating in her name again," said Mossuto. Mossuto remarked it didn't take any convincing to get these frat boys onto campus for this cause. "They know that it's for a really good cause and it's really important to our fraternity that we give back to the community and do our philanthropy," said Mossuto, "We stand for 'true gentlemen.'" Mossuto encourages other students to get involved in the fight against MS. "You can donate if you go to the MS website, through team Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like, and you'll know where your money is going," said Mossuto. More information about the MS Walk can be found at: http:// w ww.kintera.org/faf/home/ default.asp?ievent=72124 for intoxicated drivers. In total, University Police recorded two DUI arrests for the night. No CSUSM students were arrested at the checkpoint. The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa, patrolling near campus, observed a white late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Estepa said that while questioning the driver he detected the scent of alcohol and learned that both the driver and passenger were under age. Estepa said he discovered two open beer containers during his visual sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived to back up Estepa. Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a fine and his driver license could be revoked for one year. The driver waited on the curb just in front of his vehicle with his hands in his pockets rocking back and forth. As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the investigation by asking the driver to stand so he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow FRYE, from page 1 business behind closed doors to avoid controversy is cowardly and wrong. Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye said, "I do not shy away from controversy." Discussing her efforts to change the way government business is conducted, she said that she didn't expect so much support from voters during her 2004 mayoral campaign. "I was almost in tears I was so amazed," said Frye about the overwhelming amount of people who signed a petition qualifying her to run as a write-in candidate. Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy and Ron Roberts, the opposing candidates during the campaign, didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates. "They looked like bookends (during the debate) as I stood in the middle. There were Mr. Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye describing the visual of the may- into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car where he later urinated on himself, and his truck was towed and impounded. "We make these stops off of the campus because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it grows into a much bigger problem." Koehler says it's important that people under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI, for example, will likely receive fines up to $5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail time. The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint inspection. Bronson alerted other officers and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight, which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After oral debate. Frye said she lost the election due to the voters forgetting to fill in the corresponding bubble after writing her name on the ballot (Mayor Dick Murphy won). She ended her talk with the current actions being taken in response to the outcome. Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Frye to count the votes thrown out, but in speaking she was adamant in letting the public know that she isn't personally involved. "Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around)," said Frye. Frye opened up the floor by answering a question about her the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car. Bronson said that not only was the smell of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were extremely red, however, the driver's answers to all of Bronson's questions were clear. Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver was handcuffed and his car was placed on the back of a truck to later be impounded. "This guy (DUI driver) was just an average good guy like me and now he will suffer like a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler remarking on how a DUI and the penalties that result can be prevented by drivers being responsible. All law enforcement agencies involved in the night's checkpoint are part of the North County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Council. The DUI prevention efforts were a result of funding from the state distributed to each agency specifically for enforcing and preventing drunk driving. feelings regarding speaking on college campuses. "I feel at home," said Frye Cal State San Marcos student Karlene Wiegand was excited about Frye's arrival on campus. "She is a woman who doesn't conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to Frye because of her work with water quality issues. "Being a surfer myself, that was very important to me." Palomar College student Rachel Gilstrop shared similar thoughts. "Frye is a strong female figure, and she gives me a sense of feeling more empowered as a woman," said Gilstrop WftflfîTii : ni i&lMuiuJ; nBBnS: « m * ~ * IS § ilflll 1 i !§§!

Davis, who is an A rts and Technology major, was at one point a p ro-surfer before he began p ursuing his film career. Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal Lett in CSUSM's a rt department and the trio forged Brokenline Productions. They wanted t o create an independent film company that supports local artists and promotes industry change. Davis said filmmaking "should be about the a rt and the project." Each member of the company brought something unique and vital to the table. They m ade their own studio in which they paid for themselves. Davis w rote and directed the 35-minute short film. Forsyth created their logos, website and designed the sets for the film. Lett directed the cinematography and worked his magic with the camera. From start to finish, the project took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay in three months.

Depending on the performance of each of the male surfers at tryouts, they were put on either the A team or the B team. CSUSM's surf team has been around for several seasons now. The team is supported by some of the surfer's family members and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006 season will be held sometime in September. The team is always looking for new recruits, as each year a few key surfers are lost after graduation. "This whole thing is pretty much for f un and I encourage anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout and support us," Cannon. For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at canno010@csusm.edu. It's March, and CSUSM's surf team is getting ready to make some waves this year at Nationals. A fter taking fourth place at Nationals last June, the men's A-team is hoping to go back and maintain their top five status. According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season didn't go as smoothly as they would have hoped with many competitions being delayed and even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that they had a lot of talent on their teams this year, but lacked the competition experience. For the 2004-2005 season, CSUSM had a large enough turnout at tryouts to put together three teams. The teams were broken down into two men's surfing teams and one special team.

A fter spending the semester worrying about papers and exams, spring break is the t ime to take a breather and go out with your f riends. Of course, you always say y ou'll spend some time studying and getting a head start on last-minute school projects, but let's f ace it, during spring break, most people j ust want to have f un. So grab your f riends, I.D. and designated driver, and get ready to p arty—you deserve it! Whether you plan to spend t he day lounging in the sand ™ or the night dancing on the tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when going out with f riends is to pick a designated driver beforehand. Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a coin, draw straws, or p ull a name f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how you pick one, j ust pick one. Ify ou are the designated driver, it doesn't mean you can't have a good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e d runk to have a good time. You can always amuse yourself by watching your d runken f riends make fools out of themselves, while you, the Saintly Sober One, take pictures with your digital camera. The best p art is that you and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even left the house! But don't overdo it. There's nothing sexy about throwing u p in the bathroom of your favorite bar while your best f riend holds your hair back and your designated driver takes pictures. The best p art about going out to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is getting, f ree drinks. Sorry, boys, but girls always get f ree drinks, especially if they know the bartender. So, next time you're at your favorite pub, chat u p the guy behind the counter. If he knows you, h e'll b e more likely to comp your d rinks.

With spring break quickly approaching, many students vow to stay at home and study while their friends booze it up in Cancun and Day tona Beach. While hitting the books may seem like a dreadful way to spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and ahead of the game sure does have its perks. So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on the beautiful, enticing beaches of paradise. Replace that muscular, suntanned cabana boy with that exhaustingly wordy Dickens' novel that has been smashed, unopened, at the bottom of your backpack all semester. Don't hit the beach—hit the books! When your friends come back from vacation, sure they'll have a suntan, some wild stories, and a few more notches in their belts, but they'll also have a ton of work to catch up on. With only five more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed, sleep deprived, and worn out. Won't it be nice to smile, take a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny? Resist the temptation to party right now and remember that "good things come to those who wait." Summer is just around the corner, and the day you ace that last final, you'll be "livin' la vida loca." It is important to reward yourself for a j ob well done, so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For every hour you spend typing that 10 page paper on the mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself with 15 minutes of laying out in the sunshine. If you have fast metabolism, eat one piece of your favorite candy every time you read five pages of that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one at home. Remember that you are not alone. There are plenty of other students just like you who plan to use their spring break as a time to both catch up and get ahead. Find out if any of these self-loathing individuals would like to form study groups with you. Invite them over for a movie night so that you guys can watch the six hour movie version of "Bleak House." Your teacher didn't really expect you to read that novel anyway. If you feel the need to get out of your house, take your lap top over to your nearest coffee shop and study there. Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz. For those of you that don't live at home, make a trip to your parents' house and study there. They'll be glad to know that their money isn't being wasted on your education and reward you with yummy home cooked meals and a pat on the back for all of your hard work. In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way." You may feel like you are giving up well-earned party time by studying over the break, but when you look back on the semester, you will be proud of the results of your hard work and dedication. That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work! �8 Tuesday, March 22, 2Ö05 OPINION THE PRIDE Hey! Quit violating MySpace Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer I am taking this opportunity to share my experience to warn all of you that although you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong. Take my word for it when I say this cliché line: "it can happen to you." As I browsed over the faces of many others like myself that had been sucked into this myspace craze I came across one face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked on the picture and this lead me to his page where I was able to read small blurbs about his life, interests, and whatever else he felt inclined to tell others via the Internet. Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego that shared many common interests! I went ahead and sent him a message, not knowing in the slightest what I had just gotten myself into. I have never been the type to even consider meeting anyone from online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake* ('"indicates names have been changed), slowly my thoughts began to change. Our emails through our myspace accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it at first, there was a definite "spark" so to speak between Jake and myself. The more we talked, the more we realized that we truly did enjoy each others company. Our late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my interest in meeting this guy that now knew so much about me. Some of my friends were concerned by the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake over the phone, this didn't seem all that odd to me. I mean, the whole idea of meeting people online was new to me anyway! When Jake told me that he wasn't a phone person, I j ust went along with it and we planned a weekend where we would meet up in person. Shortly a fter our plan to meet was set, strange things started to occur. It began with phone calls to my work f rom a girl that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next, but she would never leave a message or a name. I found this odd seeing as though I had never given out my work number. Then only a few days later I began receiving calls to my apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that would call and repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had anyone I knew. I told Jake about the calls "online dated" for years, and had never and he immediately traced them to his actually met in person. Jake had been ex-girlfriend, Sara*. He said it sounded messing with Sara for years, leading her exactly like something she would do, to believe they were in love and that when and that she had done it in the past. He the right time came along they would meet claimed she was jealous, and just trying to up, but Sara had gotten to the point where get under my skin. Well, it was working. she wasn't even sure if Jake really existed.

She then began to Now, only a few days before Jake and I enlighten me on a whole other twist to this had planned to meet, another call came to already crazy story. She said that due to my apartment.

By this time the phone that Jake was not a real person and on top calls had become borderline harassment of that she was convinced that the person and I had no intentions of giving this girl posing as Jake was in reality a girl named any of my time. As it turned out, all she Nikki*. was trying to find out was if Jake and I had I sat and listened in complete shock actually met.

She was Sara's Sara had met a best friend and had been for guy online and years. She told found out a few months later that it turned out to be this girl Nikki posing as him. Nikki admitted this to Sara, and told her she felt horrible for letting the situation go on as long | as it did. For some reason, Sara felt bad for Nikki and ended up befriending her. Not long a fter the two of them "/ learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet You never really know just who lies behind the screen..." became friends, Sara went online and came across another guy that caught her interest. This time it was Jake. Due to the fact that Sara was now friends with Nikki, the idea that this new guy might be j ust another figment of Nikki's imagination never even crossed Sara's mind. Sara confided in Nikki about her and Jake's online relationship. She explained to me that as time went on, she became more and more skeptical of Nikki, and even confronted her a few times about the possibility of her being Jake. Nikki always denied this and Jake always had a way of drawing Sara back to him. Therefore, the relationship continued .up until about four months ago when Jake once again failed to meet up with Sara. Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she had done this to her again. She stopped all conversations with Nikki and Jake for her own sanity and decided she should see a therapist. Only recently, when Sara happened to fall back in touch with Jake through myspace did she begin to have second thoughts about ridding him from her life. When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was a real person was almost too much for her to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up. It was then her goal to get a hold of me and find out if it was true. Being the self proclaimed "professional detective" that she was, she tracked down my phone number and told me she knew my address as well. She said that was what years of trying to find out if Jake existed had done to her. She knew all the tricks. A bit frightened by the whole situation, I gave her as much information about Jake and me as possible. I informed her of how we had not even talked on the phone and had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet. She thanked me for helping her get to the bottom of things, and told me that she knew for a fact at this point that indeed this was Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and twisted, I know. I immediately went to Jake and told him that I would no longer be in contact with him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as possible, but things did not go as planned, Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told him that if he wanted to clear things up then all he needed to do was call me and prove to me I was wrong. He refused to call, therefore, f urther proving everything was true in my mind. I then blocked him online and a fter doing so, my phone began to blow up with text message a fter text message f rom his AIM name. The text messages became increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I realized I was going to have to change my cell number in order to get rid of Jake once and for all and this is exactly what I did. A fter changing my cell number I also went ahead and changed my apartment number and made it unlisted as a f urther precaution. The more I thought about the situation, and the fact that I had been in contact with a girl the entire time, the more I almost felt like I had been brainwashed, and somewhat violated. Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need not say more. Ironically, when I went on myspace the following day Jake's page was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet.

Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not. In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995. CLARIFICATION The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not meant to be interpreted literally.

MARCH Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four beautiful and independent daughters. Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course she assumes he left her and their family for his secretary. She doesn't bother trying to look for him or contact him, or if she does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal and they adjust pretty well to their new life without dad. Even when he fails to show up at important family events, like the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine. Terry quickly hooks up with her equally alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role), a washed-up, former baseball player turned radio DJ, and together they help each other heal from the tough breaks life has given them. Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye (Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on her computer. The audience is never told why she's making the film or, for that matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye. These are just a few of many unanswered questions in the movie. The problem with "The Upside of Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind of a movie it wants to be and it tries too hard to be both comedy and drama. The acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but the only thing that resonates after you've left thé theater are all the questions that are left unanswered. y JOHNNY V E VODKA LOVES FLAVORED VODKA LAUNCH PARTY Posted Bar 8pm-11pm for Johnny Loves Flavored Vodka Products Go Global!

SIMON Pride Staff Writer When asked to evaluate four of the top "men's magazines" I thought for a moment-maybe half--that they might be related to sports or getting rich. Instant relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who can't afford the monetary or emotional cost of the nearest beach-flesh-fest? We begin at the ' top' with "Maxim" and, as usual, a cover model most have already seen on TV enough to construct a fantasy f rom. This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want to be caught with ' porn' yet can't bring themselves to say "the articles." The ads range f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace at in those weird European things lounging in the 'barbershop.' As for genuine variety, though, this isn't for anyone who still refuses to believe that good sex requires an attention span. The girls are all photographed with the same lights arid the articles are mostly lists. Conclusion: Pick up, flip through, flick off, next. The next step in our descent brings us to what "Maxim" could never be, even with real nudity. Of course, I use the term ' real' the way I use women: not at all, hardly. Playboy has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring excesses of photo and cosmetic manipulation. Personally,* if she's going to look like a j cartoon she may as J well be a cartoon, but at least Playboy still helps artists replace rather than chase their models. Even without the i imagination for j icons, there's enough variation to pick a favorite, thus a more lasting distraction. As a bonus, the respectable article quality might even give you some kind of fetish for communication. Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of "Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion. I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut: rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me. BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter. First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005 issue tackles such serious subjects as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals about Him." Wow. I never knew that my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that men like to have their balls messaged during, not after, fellatio. Next on the list to improve your worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're "Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two different types of women in the world. Unfortunately I am neither. Hmmm, could I be an alien? However, Glamour is good pick for the woman that wants to save some cash. Practically every other page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon H to cut out. Glamour jm also features top name H designer fashions W (the clothes nobody m can afford) along with where to purchase the knock-off. The fashion magazine, f Elle, is a bit better than the previously mentioned self-esteem blockers. There are no lame advice columns that make you feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you v aBnR want to look at, this is the rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements with beautiful people. Whoa, what's that? 'Small breasts are in this season." Never mind, Elle sucks too. Hallelujah! God bless Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as the feminist response to pop culture—is a shining light at the end of the magazine rack. The magazine focuses on women's issues that are interesting and educational. No models, no fashion statements, no make-up tips—just articles about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show, "Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons are provided. The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the misrepresentation of women by the mass media. Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me. I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait. r � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

X III NO. 8 experiences of those effected by the current conflict BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club offered perspectives about the war from troops who served in Iraq, on Wednesday, March 9 with an event entitled "Boots on the Ground." Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that have been recently presented at CSUSM. After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who was thefirstspeaker to present his story. Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives given at the forum came from ground forces, air and supply support forces, and even the view of those left behind at home. The range of views included those of different military service branches and gender, with the panel evenly split with two male and two female speakers. The majority of the forum offered personal stories of war and what life was like for soldiers in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached from political views and heated debate as the speakers stood one by one and told their stories. Aside from the human aspects of the war and the intricacies of military life and sense of duty that the speakers talked about, the forum also revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those in military service.

Uniigren's H owever, rtsponsa this move is not realistic given the competitive g uidelines for admittance into this league of prominent college level athletics. The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State San Marcos President, Karen S. Haynesfirstyear. The article from March 13, 2005 stated, "When respondents (students) clamored for more campus life, she appointed the university's first athletic director and asked him to create more sports teams." This cooperation between the Administration and the Athletic Department outlines their desire for sports teams at Cal State San Marcos. The decision to go forward with sports teams brings many questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision is left up to the student voters of Cal State San Marcos who will decide if the Athletics Fee Referendum is something they want to support. CSUSM does not qualify for membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and participates in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State at the top. NAIA is one level above community college leagues. Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II with the Independents.

TROOPS, from page 1 The dominant message expressed among panelists was one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq. "From my experience they want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the majority of the Iraqi populace. Perhaps the most unique and rarely heard perspective given at the forum was that of Morgan Copeland McCorkle whose husband is currently serving in Iraq. The life of an army wife, McCorkle noted, was to not only support the troops but also to support their families and spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far McCorkle's husband has been away on military duty for over two years of their seven year relationship. there to promote their trails system and organized hikes. Non-profit groups such as the American Cancer Society, Lupus Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, American Liver Foundation, Risk Management, and Student Health Services were also on hand educating students about the services that they offer. Other activities included a stress relief room with punching bags, a relaxation room and a tent building contest sponsored by Associated Students Inc. (ASI). Throughout the event raffle prizes donated by the various participants were handed out to the lucky winners. Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the event said she felt the Wellness Fair and Expo went "fabulous." "It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle and learn from vendors," said After the forum ended the floor was briefly turned over to the audience to ask questions. Although there was an obvious difference in political viewpoints present in the room, Photo courtesy of Phi Alpha Theta (Left to Right) 1st Lt. Cathy Harrington, Captain James Mullin, Staff Sgt. Chris Keifer, Mrs. Morgan Copeland McCorkle and Chris Mitchell questions were respectful, with perhaps the most heated question being if any of the panelists had seen the film "Fahrenheit 911." Romero. According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty and staff attended the four hour event. Romero said that, "more people came out and there were more donations and vendors," this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement to the fact that this year wellness activities are during the entire month of March, while last year there was only the Wellness Fair and Expo event. After the Wellness Fair and Expo there was a massage room set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the Field House where free massages were given. The Academy of Professional Careers: School of Massages donated 4 massage chairs and 6 massage therapists for the event.

A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a number of students lined up to shake hands with the speakers. McCorkle said she felt the forum was well attended given the fact that it was slated during the same time as the sex toy workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse.

The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division L "An average of 15,000 fans (that) show up to every game," is one of the guidelines for NCAA Division I said Kent Barrett, Associate Director for Public and Media Relations NCAA. The lowest level of the NCAA is Division III which offers no scholarships. The long term benefits ofjoining NCAA would include scholarships and money earned if Cal State San Marcos does well in sports competitions. Stephen Nichols, athletic director, claims on the athletic department's web site that sports team will "bring greater recognition to, and awareness of, our university. This will, in turn, make your degree more valuable." There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds that, the school should focus on the academic future of Cal State San Marcos and leave sports to San Diego State. The other view is the school could use sports teams to improve student life on campus. Next week students will vote on the proposed fee that will set aside money specifically for the Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to a letter to The Pride, Nichols will not petition for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) next semester regardless if the proposed fee is passed or not. This means intercollegiate sports will end its funding from Cal State San Marcos if students vote against the fee increase, and the 80 students that participate in the non-spectator sports may have to deal with the reality of the end of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. The Athletic Department ¡mum now receives funding from the IRA that ranges from $12,000 to $31,450 per semester. The IRA is funded by students every semester with a $5 fee and divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State San Marcos does not allow any organization on campus to take more than one third of the entire amount. At other CSU schools, like San Diego State, the Athletic Department gets almost the entire sum of money. With their $28 IRA fee versus the Cal State San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego State has more money to divide up with fewer organizations requesting it. The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from the CSU General Fund in the amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to be paid on top of the $296,000 expected if the fee proposal passes. Sobriety Checks in the CSUSMandaMrea team up Campus police .A.D.D. BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) have joined forces for this upcoming St. Patrick's Day in an effort to educate students on the dangers of underage drinking and driving under the influence (DUI). This week from March 15 - 17 campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers will partake in thefirstpart of a two part DUI prevention program by distributing literature to those entering and exiting parking lots throughout campus. On the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17, four officers will patrol the campus specifically for drivers under the influence, as the second part of the DUI prevention program. fgUMJfltt 10% Student (Discount! Located in Ralphs Shopping Center across from CSUSM! 310 S.Twin Oaks Valley Rd, #105 San Marcos Ca 92078 The San Marcos Sheriffs department will also have DUI checkpoints setup in areas near the campus. "Over 17,970 people die and 252,000 people are injured nationwide as a result of an alcohol related traffic collisions," each year according to the most current statistics available from M.A.D.D. The prevention pamphlets to be passed out include M.A.D.D. safe party guides, a small fact book titled "What's your DUI IQ," a red ribbon to tie around a car antenna, and contact information for questions concerning underage drinking and DUIs. "It's important that we as a community address drunk driving because of how it can negatively affect people," said CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller. As a member of the Student Alcohol Advisory Committee - the committee responsible for this program - Lt. Miller said he is using his past experience working at San Diego State University, along with other ideas from officers in the department, to help educate our campus about the risks associated with alcohol. Lt. Dan Koeler worked with Miller to get M.A.D.D. involved with alcohol awareness and DUI prevention on campus. m/1 SI Elections How WUll Ybu Decidef OR Meet Your Candidates March 15 & 16 @ 1:00 pm On the Mezzanine Vote Online March 21-24 www.c8U8m.edu/vote Questions : Asielections@csusm.edu #m m i E ddie w ould go Associated Students, Ine.

Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic lotions, potions and battery operated toys to over 160 students. Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex. Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'— this means getting tested for STD's and HIV/AIDS every year." A climax of giggles erupted when Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim our asses from our buttphobic culture." Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty or gay male activity." Dacus introduced the audience to the "prostrate massage" (the prostrate being located two inches inside the male anal cavity - toward the belly button, also doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when massaged during foreplay can produce the equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm. Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex (whether performed on a man or woman) are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in conjunction with condoms. After a brief demonstration, the audience was able to test, smell and taste each Photos by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride Above: Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure Parties, demonstrates the flexible bunny cockring with built in vibrating bullet.

Students attended the event for a variety of reasons.

Karina Prado, senior liberal studies/ sociology major, said, "I'm here because I'm taking a human reproduction class and I also missed it last year.

If you're interested in saving some serious gravy, the best advice would be to pick up a Sunday paper and discover what's nestled at the center. Major supermarket chains such as Vons and Albertson's double the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those with Catalina coupons - coupons you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little to nothing for otherwise pricey items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent. The combination of coupons and weekly grocery ads are the dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly store advertised items; especially those that are buy one get one free. Occasionally really hot buys will be out of stock and when this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with the item's purchase limit - if any - and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the weeks to come. Be aware of brands with many similar items such as Tide. If Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to buy the exact detergent on the coupon. Unless the coupon reads 'selected varieties', don't assume the coupon will cover the Tide you typically buy.

There are a number websites that provide services for as little as $5.00 a month. Be wise when choosing a website. Make sure the site provides a list of free item coupons as well as linking them with ads.

From time to time coupons won't double, checkers fail to scan them, or the item comes up at the wrong price. Give coupon shopping some deep thought.

B etween our own Jason Nichols (a/k/ a the O-man) and Athletics Director Steve Nichols (no relation that I know of) I had to take an entire page-full of barbs tearing me a new one... and without so much as a kiss! At least our readers know that Jason isn't actually in love with me. I was under the impression that The Pride being denied ballot access was news-worthy; my esteemed colleague and reader advocate disagrees. I can deal. The trouble is that Jason made it sound as if the whole purpose of the article was self-service, while I was doing my damnedest to keep my journalist's hat firmly in place and write from as neutral a position as possible. Feedback from others on campus has, thankfully, been more generous. As to having color, I thought it was unsubtly ironic, except that it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice coincidence, though. As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee request on the ballot. Would it have killed you to simply write in support of The Pride and leave it at that? How nice that, as a faculty member (or are you staff?), you were able to do an end-run around the student fee process and start a dialog with all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office. Do you sleep better at night knowing that—whether the students approve of your $40 fee or not-you have the Chancellor's blessing? Have you started counting your money yet?

Several new or increased fees have already passed during my six semesters here, and we all know that the "non-mandatory" parking permit fee and instructional fees have sky-rocketed. That said, I won't be voting in favor of athletics. On the other hand, I've pretty much read every issue of The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have voted in favor of a fee to help the paper reach self-sufficiency—that fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so to speak, which would have paid off later with good ad revenues, while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff. Lucky for Steve and Karen, it seems the only students that vote on the referenda are those who have an interest in seeing them pass; I predict an easy victory for the athletics fee. As for The Pride, maybe we'll get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be. God knows athletics won't ever pay its own way. •ft? fi%i M al Tanningior : %r I only level 1 bed Mysbctor al CUM ackages (gstudents andCtUMI {good forand staff) (good for CUM { (gsiood bPand lstall) ood for al saSl T students CSUSM S tf SsSf} tudentsr^rStSM fioodt S students ami ta ofer 4/15/Ö5 4/15/05 ofer (expires 4/15/05 !

Come on, guys! Isn't that like asking a senator whether he thinks his bill should pass or not? It almost pains me to have to do this, but I have to point out the little things as well. What do I classify as a "little thing?" Simple: something that, while not as important as the points above, should still be adhered to in the publishing of a newspaper. Firstly, for the love of God, know your MLA. Book titles are underlined, not "put in quotes." Any high school junior should know this, so seeing it in a college periodical is just unprofessional. Secondly, what business do hyphens have in quotes? Opening up to page eleven of this week's issue and seeing "'I thought it was inspiring' - student Kate Summers" staring up at me in boldface type makes me very sad. I came to this school full of high hopes, not expecting to look back on my days on my high school's newspaper with fond memories. Having two or three days to put a paper together is no excuse - that's life, baby. If the final product is going to be half-assed and full of mindless babble (who cares about Seinfeld anymore?), then make this a bi-weekly paper. If it means the articles will be of better quality, I'm all for it. If that's too much to ask, then you don't deserve the extra $2.50.1 don't dig the idea of paying just to see pictures of the ACD hall in color - 1 can see that free of charge every day. If the staff feels the need to add something to the paper, full color pictures should be the last thing on their minds. Please strive to make The Pride worthy of its name. The Mediocre or The Substandard just don't have the same ring.

The editors would like to take this opportunity to explain our processes and how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation. Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university. That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution.

BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Why did you go to college? What are you going to do afterwards? Those are questions most people don't ask themselves too often in the middle of a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary. Being a history major, the question always seems to arise of what I am going to do after college. The problem is that history is one of those subjects that people love to disregard as much ado about nothing. It happened to me just the other day, I was talking to a non-collegiate peer, and they asked what I was majoring in at college. When I said "history" the inevitable "oh, what are you going to do with a degree in that" came back at me. As the conversation continued they asked me if I was going to continue on after my BA, which I said I was, and they queried in what subject. "History" again, with its partner spilling from the mouth of the other as "oh, are you going to be a teacher." This is about the third time this year alone that I've had a conversation along these lines with someone outside of the college atmosphere, and it never fails that the person I'm having the conversation with makes assumptions about my future career or chosen major. And eventually I'll simply be reminded of how hard it is to get a job in my chosen field. It's the assumption that history is one of those road to nowhere subjects (at home with the arts, literature, and similar subjects) that's bothersome. The fact is I already know that it's difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with roughly 70 percent of employers in the United States currently either decreasing or at least not increasing their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that maybe it's just as difficult to find a good job with any major, not just mine - although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that my history major could be used to get a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in film, or even business and the list can go on with teaching just being one of many options. Of course, just because there is a range of jobs I could do in my major doesn't mean I'm any better off in the arena of finding one. People assume that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business major, for example, and maybe that's true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the financial benefits later on, are not all I went to college for. I went to college in large part because I wanted to become a more well rounded person, I wanted to learn, and I wanted to associate with similar individuals of like mind. This is the factor people tend to forget when I tell them about my major or how that might lead to a job later on. Maybe it's just me, but college would be important even if I never succeeded in making a cent from it. HEX COUGARS! Watch for t he GECKO this semester.

Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car, we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic, basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.

After a quick ten minutes we were seated at a quaint little booth and promptly delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce concocted by the waitress at the table.

The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the side), and the flavors sharply contrasted with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even compare to my boyfriend's. His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two weeks. The vegetables and potatoes looked old and tired. In general, his meal was comparable to something that would be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home. Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing, in which case you'll love this misguided chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep you from reading further, be assured that the difficulty of his language need not keep you or the unwashed masses from enjoying this show. (And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It may surprise you to learn that you already know 99 percent of the words used in the play (though there are always a few that require footnotes.) The thing with Shakespeare is how his words are put together: musically if you're a learned fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign" language, and look to the actors, the staging, the props, the music, and, every so often, the actual words, to follow the story. On to the review: The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best Shakespearean acting company—have done it again with their lively and relevant production of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love and war that opens with a stage full of writhing bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones. Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Robots, they aren't just for nerds anymore. With the release df the new 20 Century Fox movie "Robots" there is finally proof that an animated movie can actually make an adult laugh. This techno-filled extravaganza moves you to the point of pure adulation as you root for the underdog in this extremely colorful CGI world. Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he makes his way into the big city to find Big Weld (Mel Brooks), all hell breaks loose. When in town he runs th ÄNTONY& CLEOPAT Image courtesy of Poor Players Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard King through costume and music choices. Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust, which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer). These larger-than-life characters also make "Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to laugh before the bloodshed. Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of Roman discipline, and a character so opposed to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that their faces could serve as models for a pair of comedy/drama masks. While every player in this company is worth seeing, two particularly excellent performances were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and Edwin Eigner as Lepidus. "Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10 at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado Canyon Road in San Diego.

Throughout the movie Fender's comments, and actions, will leave you with a little smirk on your face - the kind of smirk robot humor brings to the table. While there are a number of other in-your-face-funny robots in the movie, it's Fender (Robin Williams mind you) whose improv makes the movie come alive, while Rodney's quest keeps you in the story. The little parts within the movie - like clever wordplay, and the contrast of subtle and startling on screen action - account for a lot of the Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox movie's laughs. The movie sprints from the opening scene and never stops; characters are always in motion and interacting in a way that is entertaining for everyone. Don't be fooled by the PG rating: "Robots" has some great suggestive humor that might fly over the heads The Rock "Be Cool" the others be lukewarm BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Sequels are usually not as good as the original. This isn't engraved in stone but just a guideline. Don't expect too much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is upset with the movie industry and turns to the music industry. But not expecting much isn't the same as a movie built on other movies. "Be Cool" has one obvious reference to other movies after another. It was as if the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list of references to other movies and then built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job and Thurman danced simply to win. So it's logical to incorporate a dance sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But after that, the sequence goes nowhere and does nothing. On with the plot: Tommy Athens (James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets murdered by the Russian mob. Chili finishes his Athens' job of producing a young and innocent singer named Linda Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon already has a manager Raji (Vince Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record label. Turns out Athens has a debt with another music label owner, Sin LaSalle (Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens' wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has to promote and produce Moon's debut album while watching his back. There are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc. The Rock has the only performance worth the screen time. We're used to seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy of little ones, but is easily picked up by anyone thirteen and older. Next time school leaves you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over to the multi-plex, grab some popcorn, and let "Robots" make it all better... for 90 minutes anyway. Image courtesy of MGM/UA Entertainment trying to be tough but in the end, he's sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his character in the wrestling world. The reference was "The People's Eyebrow" where he lifts up his eyebrow into an arch. Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take their gold chains, their black suits, their hummers, their guns, their one liners and reflect the movie they made. It might have seemed funny and poetic on paper but onscreen it's totally different. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"I have a very positive outlook for food service in the Dome in the near future," said Wood. "It will certainly be something to look forward to." Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, said, "I think the Dome is ugly. It's been the same color for the past ten years, so they should change it." Another student, junior Nelenie Aronce had some unenthusiastic thoughts as well. "The food is expensive, and it's a last resort when you're really, really hungry," said Aronce.

In addition advice will be given on many emotional and mental issues Cal State San Marcos students face. Along with prizes given out at individual events, a wellness pursuit card can be obtained at every Wellness Month event attended, and at the end of March the cards can be redeemed for shirts and other prizes. The biggest event of Wellness Month, The Wellness Fair and Expo, is being held tomorrow Wednesday March 9.

The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the attention of many passers-by. According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools. As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into the elementary school system. "It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the elementary school level," said deGhetaldi. Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities. "It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a student in the class. Students will vote for their new ASI representatives March 21-24. Candidates have now started their campaigning process to vie for your vote. To be an informed voter, students can read statements from the candidates in this issue of The Pride.

As Cal State San Marcos grows into the campus that it is destined to be, I feel excited and motivated to have the opportunity in shaping the future of this school. As the current Undergraduate Representative, I will continue to battle for inclusiveness and shared governance for the proud students of our campus. Nicholas J. Bonomi Business Major, emphasis in Service Sector Management College of Business Representative Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on 150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to have funds allocated towards the campus population as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester. Ashley Nichole Dunn Bio-Chemestry Major V.P. of Finance I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve the students. One of the main things that I would do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A few things that are important to me is keeping the cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class availability, and increasing advising availability. So vote for me, Ashley Dunn as V.R of Finance. "GET ER' DUNN!" "Exec Team 2006" Remember the name- I'm a WRITE IN!!! L. A. I. S. N. E. It's pronounced "La-nay" Please vote for me!

My main goals, if elected, will be to increase attendance to ASI events and to find ways to cut ASI's budget and, thus, decrease OUR tuition without cutting any essential programs. And, yes!

It seems that too many people have no say in the decisions our school makes. The history department is an example of this. Our department traditionally has few or no representatives and there is no one to advocate for our needs.

I will advocate for the general student body as well by pushing for fair prices. If you want an ASI that represents you and are sick of paying too much for a dirt parking lot, write in John Baden.

According to Romero, getting students and faculty to work together and promote a better campus environment for learning and relaxing is a big part of Wellness Month. During Wellness Month, coordinators like Devon will be promoting the six dimensions of wellness. The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness, intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the six dimensions of wellness will be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension. Organizers are planning many different events that students can come and take place in, such as yoga, self-defense classes, and a seminar entitled Chicken Soup for the Cougar Soul. Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as Blue Monday, and different events such as yoga, progressive relaxation, and guided imagery will accompany the morning's events. Each blue Monday will try and undertake one of the six dimensions of personal wellbeing.

The show featured performances by CSUSM student, Stacy Goldstein, AKA: Mizliberty. Students Shawnda Dorantes and Tasha Iglesias helped put on the show. Heather Hitson, senior women's studies major, organized this year's Women's History Month events. She said she struggled because of lack of funds, however was able to incorporate events suited for all. "We put together events that will accommodate all women. We wanted to create an array of events to accommodate any kind of person whether it is through culture or music to name a few," said Hitson. Women's studies was given a grant through CSUSM last year; however, this year Hitson was on her own to find funds to put together these events. Through various proposals written by Hitson some money did come through. "I didn't know coming into this position that I was going to have to put so much effort in finding the funds because last year Women's Studies had funds straight from CSUSM. I was disappointed at the lack of help from CSUSM since 63 percent of our campus is made up of women," said Hitson.

He is aiming to tackle the short term goals during the summer of 2005. P hoto by A dia B ess / The Pride Wood has lots of ideas that he is ready to begin working on. "I love working in a University environment, but I wish I could just go, go, go! There is a radical sense of urgency," said Wood. Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look bigger, painting with neon or bright colors, and an upgrade to the look and names of the five eateries currently in the Dome. In addition the food will also have a new taste. The salad bar will offer more choices, we will be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and four cheese, the sub station will adopt a new superhero theme, the quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the House of Tsang (half Asian and half Italian) will transform into a bigger Mexican food concept. Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new area. This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's history. In September of 2002, the Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to design and outfit a new kitchen which included professional ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers, a stainless steel food prep area, pass-through refrigerators, and separate areas for dishwashing, food storage, and offices. Wood said he is very excited about implementing new menus that keep pace with the changing tastes of students. "Years ago it was ok to serve grilled cheese and tomato soup; now campuses have to offer as many choices as possible," he said. Wood said that even with changes in the menu he wants to, "maintain foods that will be affordable to the masses."

So, the smart student will plan ahead. Spring Break vacation can be enhanced with the right tools of knowledge. Before planning a getaway, knowing where to go is a key point and several web sites list the most popular destinations for f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico as the second most popular destination. Since international destinations come with some much needed precautions, students should arm themselves with knowledge of health concerns within a certain region. Fear not, help is as easy as the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's traveler's health site contains information regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site has travel tips located on the University Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm. edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site has links for traveler's health, currency converters and airport guides. There is also great information on problem areas that students should avoid traveling to. For international travel, students have many concerns to consider and should be aware of organizations like International Students Travel Confederation (ISTC). ISTC will help students to get organized for travel and offers student discounts around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also provides company information for travel agents that deal discount fares for full time students. They can keep students informed and safe while traveling and list approved travel agencies that students can use in conjunction with ISTC. STA Travel is one of Itch's approved travel agencies and they have offices on the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific Beach area.

A central focus of the article is a search for some rationale for this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes values athletics more than the newspaper? Or is it a bit of revenge for The Pride's coverage of the Michael Moore situation? Was the fee proposal not good enough? Don't people see how much improved the paper would be with twelve pages and color? Who could object to only $2.50, none of it going to salaries? As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to share my experienced in the long process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as I went through the process sheds a lot of light on why my fee is on the ballot, while the newspaper fee is not. And not to give away the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above. When I took the position as Athletics Director, my first task was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite a record of excellence that might surprise you if you haven't been following our golf, cross-country and track teams ~ eight Far West Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion in the women's marathon - our department was on the verge of being shut down due to lack of funding. I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU system and discovered that we are the only campus in the entire CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics! At every other CSU campus - in fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university in the country - students pay a set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements that fee revenue, but no athletics program exists on general fund money alone, as we had been trying to do. So the problem was clear; the solution, though, was not so simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over the summer shared something else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft moratorium" on campus-based fees. What's a soft moratorium, you ask? I had to ask, too - and so began a series of conversations with some pretty important people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development, and Chris Canfield, the CSU's Lead Budget Analyst. QTT ONZOMV Here's what I learned from them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget cuts to the campuses, individual CSU schools might be too quick to turn to campus-based student fees to make up the difference. Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by imposing new campus fees; no asking students to foot the bill for things that were once funded by other sources, because you worry that those other funding sources might be dry up. This is where the " soft" part of the fee moratorium comes into play. The CSU recognizes that not all proposals for new fees will fall into the category just described, and thus an absolute ban on any and all fees is too extreme. So the Chancellor's Office will consider allowing a new student fee under certain circumstances - but the proposer has to make the case for it. That is exactly what I did with the athletics fee proposal. I made the case that we are the only CSU in the system that does not have an athletics fee - that this is a standard fee, found at all CSUs (and all public universities); we just don't have it here because we are a relatively new campus, and our athletics program is newer still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would allow our fee to go forward. The Pride finds itself in a very yvirji different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a real disadvantage: not only is such a fee not commonly found throughout the CSU, the fact is that almost nobody else does it that way. That being the case, I can tell you, based on my own conversations with the people who make these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would have approved The Pride fee. A novel, new fee that exists at very few other campuses is simply not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all this, made the tough decision: since there is no chance it will be approved by the CSU, there is no sense spending campus time, money and energy campaigning for it and voting on it. So the fact that the newspaper fee is not on the ballot has nothing to do with anyone placing greater value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus The Pride" in any sense. Both are good for this campus, and just as campus life will benefit from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports, so too woujd it have been great for the newspaper to be longer talking and in color. It has nothing to do with Michael Moore; if you think President Haynes is so petty and vindictive as to operate that way, you don't know her very well. It has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very good), and no, $2.50 is not too much to ask. But none of that is the point; rather, the point is that the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly, would have fallen victim to the Chancellor's soft moratorium. I'll conclude with a wish and a hope. I wish someone had alerted those who worked on The Pride fee proposal of this reality long ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone go through it for naught. And the hope? The athletics department is not even going to apply for any funds from the Instructionally Related Activity fund this year (if the athletics fee passes, we won't need it; if it fails, the IRA funds won't save us). I sincerely hope The Pride gets a nice share of what we might have gotten; twelve color pages would be nice.

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer This may seem like an extension of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is definitely a guilty pleasure. If you have kids or a younger sibling, you might be able to get away with renting or buying this movie without getting too much slack from the cashier. The rest of you may just have to wear dark sunglasses and a scarf for fear of recognition. But the movie is just so funny you can't help but giggle. Like when Patrick asks the princess if she wants to see his underwear. Or when Spongebob gets killed off. Wait. Did I just say that? Yes, Spongebob does get killed off in the movie.

And I must say he has the strongest pecks I have ever seen. The premise of the story involves the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger joint's success. He steals King Neptune's crown and frames the restaurant owner. Spongebob tries to recover the crown so that he can save his boss and prove that he is a loyal employee. The result is a comical adventure that amuses both young and old. The DVD is packed with a few great features too. For animation buffs, there are two featurettes exploring the making of the movie, including one that focuses on the creator of Spongebob, Stephen Hillenburg, and the writers of the movie. For Spongebob fans, there is an extra short clip called "Case of the Spongebob." You won't be seeing that on the Nickelodeon channel anytime soon. Then, for video game buffs, there a small preview of the video game that also branched out from the TV show and movie. It's just a lot of fun and laughs, but if you're too embarrassed to be spending somewhere around $20 to own this movie, at least go out and rent it so you too can join in the fun.

Richard Move and What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed up like a woman leaping across the stage? Why pretending to be Martha Graham of course! The independent film, "Ghostlight," starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker. Move plays the part of Martha, which in itself is ironic because he is over six feet tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he towers over the other dancers, he delivers his words of advice to them in a controlled, alto voice, teaching them the moves as well as infusing Martha's philosophies. Time in the movie is non-linear; it bounces backward and forward with fake historical film clips to help the viewer gain perspective into her life. Martha's famous "I thought it was inspiring,"-student Katie Summers friends, like the designer Halston, Liza Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry (who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie. It is difficult to put a specific label on this movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of modern dance. The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star of the movie, Richard Move, introduced the film and was available afterwards to answer questions. He said that thefilmwas started around 1998 and took four or five years tofinish.He also stars in a live show about Graham called, "Martha that has played in New York and has toured around the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is finally being represented by a body that is able to live up to her stature." "I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM student Katie Summers. "I was really amazed." Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said, "It teaches you about the arts and how the creative process comes about." There is a tradition that dictates that a stage should never be completely dark after a show, and that is why a single lightbulb is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory alive in the hearts of her fans.

Now there's Franky G in Jonny Zero. Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just released from prison after doing four years for beating a guy to death. He really wants to turn his life around (no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his world (which is, naturally, full of drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit job in a boxing gym, a high-paying job with the same boss/crime lord that helped him get into trouble in the first place (only this time Jonny is being forced to find some dirt on the guy for the cops), and he moon- Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Television lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood with assorted problems, generally caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos. There's lots of opportunity for moral dilemmas and chase scenes involving his cherry muscle car~ a red and white Chevy SS—but all that really matters is that Jonny has plenty of opportunity to remove his shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season. Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the 1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all their kooky and crazy adventures. Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that followed the lives of four friends in New York just living out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell in love with. No matter how many times I've seen the same episode, you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove. Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander (George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that make this show my guilty pleasure. And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld" reruns. Tour de France BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer It all started quite innocently six years ago. Flipping through the channels, I landed on the Outdoor Life channel that was covering the Tour de France. Boring.. .but wait.. .these guys are pretty buff in their neon spandex! I started watching and next thing I knew I was hooked. For the next 21 days, I was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words like "maillot jaune" and "peloton." I was fascinated by the picturesque French countryside rolling by and the obligatory shot of the local cathedral. But it's not about the scenery, it's about the drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler on drugs? Will Robin do his comedy routine? Will the cameraman give us a good shot of a streaker? I know I'm not alone in my secret obsession, there are many more out there. You know those people you see wearing Lance's yellow rubber bracelets? They'll tell you it's about cancer awareness, but don't let them kid you: they x^ spend hours watching the XTDF, too. \ And we are all counting down the days until July 2.

I knew I was hooked from the beginning. Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite people forces them to trade families for two weeks. For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live by their rules. When the rules change the drama begins. Children resent being punished by someone other than their parents, clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring people have fun, and it's great. At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to tell someone to their face what they think of their family, which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned. There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from a different perspective. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Prwfe atheletics fee BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer In March, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund intercollegiate athletics. According to Steven Nichols, director of athletics, the fee would enable intercollegiate athletics to expand our current sports programs and add new programs in the near future. Right now intercollegiate athletics offers men's and women's golf, cross-country and track and field. The new fee will allow the program to include men's and women's baseball, softball, soccer and women's volleyball. Currently, the athletics department is funded through the Instructionally Related Activities fee (IRA) and the CSU General Fund. Athletics receives approximately $200,000 from the CSU General Fund and Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics Department anywhere from $12,000 - $32,000 from the IRA fee. The amount received by the IRA fee is determined by the number of students enrolled each semester and the number of campus organizations applying for funds. If the referendum passes, the athletics department will be looking at an increase of $296,000 per semester. "If the fee does not pass, we can't sus- Surveys: $6,000. DUI Checkpoints: $8,000. Alcohol EDU: $20,000. A goal of reducing the number of alcoholrelated incidents among college students: Not quite priceless, but $48,000. Starting the first of February, CSUSM was on of the ten state campuses sharing a $750,000 CSU Alcohol and Safety (CSU ATS) grant, which was administered by the Office of Traffic and Safety (OTS), part of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The program was funded by $74.2 million in traffic safety funds that were awarded to 277 California state departments last year. CSUSM received $48,000 of this money. In order to receive a portion of this grant, each campus had to apply and come up with a proposal unique to their campus. Out of the 23 CSU campuses (the nation's largest university system), 18 applied for the mini-grants. The other nine participating CSU campuses are Bakersfield, Chico, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Pomona, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma and Stanislaus. The CSU ATS program is being directed by Perry Angle, who is working with Dave Doucette, the OTS regional coordinator. "We screened the applications in November and we were looking for tain the sports that we have. I'm not even thinking that way. But yes, something will have to give. We would've had to cut a sport if President Haynes had not stepped in and allotted more money to supplement the only $12,000 we received from the IRA," said Nichols.

ASI sponsored the event and provided sandwiches and sodas for those who came to hear the panel members give five minute speeches and answer questions. Bob Sheath, Provost ofAcademic Affairs, opened with his speech that addressed the vision of the school. He outlined the academic blueprint of an eight-year plan to expand the academic programs at CSUSM.

"Each proposal needed to be innovative and student-oriented and could make an impact in the short time it has." He is referring to how the program ends in December of 2006. The program officially stared in January when there was a training session at CSU Fresno, where headquarters is located for the program. "The actual grant has already started," Angle said. "But paperwork still needs to be filled out. Hopefully, you'll see some action in spring, which is really a target time. The activities we'll be doing will relate to many of the activities students do in the springtime when the weather gets better, like spring break and parties." According to Angle, this all started in 2001 when the chancellor of the CSU schools, Charles Reed, was affected by an alcohol-related death of a Chico State student. "He felt he needed to do more for the safety of his students," said Angle. This led to a grant called the Sober Drive Initiative that lasted two years and ended just this January. CSUSM applied for this grant and did not get it. Fast-forward to today and CSUSM will begin administering the first phase of its program shortly. This will be a series of three short surveys over a period of two years. Motivation for students to take these surveys will be a random drawing of 20 $100 gift certificates to the book store on campus. This survey will ask Photo i llustration by P hoenix Lindgren / The Pride such questions as "Where do you most often consume alcohol offcampus?" and "Have you ever driven after drinking alcohol?" This grant has led to several students wondering why CSUSM needed to apply for the grant. "I don't think we have (and alcohol problem) compared to what other schools have," a freshman who lives on campus said. "People shouldn't be driving drunk," Nate Falzon, a commuter said. "It doesn't matter where they go. What's the point of them targeting a school?" According to Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, associate vice president of student affairs and chairman of the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee here, part of the reason that CSUSM applied for the grant was because roughly only seven percent of students live on campus and the majority of students commute. The canfipus just does not know the habits of its students. "Being a young institution, we felt that we could be more proac- CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"I am glad to hear that the nursing program is finally coming," said Matthew Garvin, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also hopes to get into the nursing program. "I volunteer at a hospital and I know how much the county needs nursing services." Karen Haynes, University President, remarked that it was almost the one year anniversary of her first day on the job. Haynes emphasized the three important building blocks for the university. The first and most important one is "academic excellence," so that the school will send out well-prepared graduates. The second building block is "intellectual and cultural activities," not only for the campus, but also for the people in the community. The third block is "civic leadership," which is important because it makes the school more visible and helps it to grow. Haynes commended the students for the 73,000 hours of community service that have been recorded and performed by 15,000 students. As the raindrops started to fall and umbrellas began popping open, Haynes said, "The motto, 'We're building a place for you' is dated. I think Cal State San Marcos is the place." Jackie Trischman, Chair of the Academic Senate, was the next to speak. Her fact-filled report related that this semester CSUSM faculty taught over 600 courses and there were over 1150 class sections offered. She also announced that two new minors, Global Studies and German were going to be offered, and 151 new course proposals were being reviewed. Trischman said that the goal for the school is to, "Help you decide not only what you want to be, but who you want to be when you graduate." "It is good news about the new classes they will be offering" said Biochemistry major Euphemia Uhegbu. "It was also good that they talked about solving the problems with the increased traffic because of the student growth." As the final speaker, ASI President Manal Yamout thanked the audience for staying even though it was starting to rain. Yamout emphasized how she has seen the level of student involvement increase over the last few years as the campus has grown and encouraged students to run for office in the upcoming ASI election. ASI has had a very busy year registering over 800 students to vote, lobbying at the state capitol for student rights and arranging many campus events such as the upcoming Academic Freedom Forum which will be held March 22. "After the formal speeches, the panel accepted questions from the audience regarding how the university is going to handle the traffic issues, improve the academic advising department and deal with budget constraints. President Haynes was asked about the controversial bill SB5, which she denounced as an illthought out bill that clearly does not understand what universities are about and misrepresents what faculties are hired to do. As the rain began to fall in earnest, it was announced that all of the questions would be posted and answered on the ASI website which can be found at: www.csusm.edu/asi.

"I love the sports we have now, but they are not spectator sports. It's really hard to watch a cross-country meet, so we want to bring sports * that have spectator appeal," said Nichols. CSUSM has approximately 80 students participating in intercollegiate sports. "By the time all the new sports have kicked in, it would double or triple our current size," said Nichols. Nichols added, "If wq have more recognizable sports teams, it will make the degree more valuable because people have heard where you've graduated from." "Personally, I'll gain nothing as a student," said Linda Deblens, literature and writing grad student. "Since I did my undergrad at a school that had a rich athletic tradition, I support the referendum as I know the positive aspects it can bring to student life," said Ian Gould, ASI post baccalaureate representative. "Our office only offers neutral information so students can make an informed decision," said Francine Martinez, vice president of student affairs. "I think students need to get this information so they can make their voices heard on whether or not this is an important initiative for them," said Martinez. Information about the athletics fee referendum is available through student affairs. The athletics department plans to campaign for the new fee in the next coming weeks with classroom presentations and student forums. Students will vote on the fee March 21-24. The complete athletics fee referendum can be found at www.csusm.edu/student affairs/athleticvote. The Pride denied ballot access BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer Next month, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund campus Athletics; they will not be asked to vote on a new mandatory $2.50 fee to fund the student newspaper. The Pride submitted a fee proposal last fall that would have generated approximately $ 18,000 per semester to cover production costs of the weekly studentrun, student-written newspaper, eliminating budget gaps caused by inlying on the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) fee, which nearly ended production of The Pride in 2003. "As it stands right now, The Pride is not going to shut down; we can survive on what we get from IRA," said Elizabeth Baldwin, Pride Co-Editor-in-Chief. "What I mean by survive is black and white, eight pages, all semester." When asked what the fee would have meant to The Pride, Baldwin was matter-of-fact. "The immediate impact that the fund would have made on the newspaper would have been an immediate jump to a consistent twelve pages a week with color-every single week—minimum," said Baldwin. Mike Dolan, Pride Co-Editorin-Chief, also saw the Pride proposal in terms of other groups on campus vying for IRA funds. "To get The Pride away from the IRA funding would have opened up funding for more activities on campus, and provided more autonomy for The Pride," said Dolan. Both Dolan and Baldwin believe the switch to color would Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay. Please contact Laura Toll free 877-950-9254 have had an increasingly positive effect. "Having color in a newspaper always increases readership. We had projected doubling our circulation immediately to 5,000 copies—eventually distributing off-campus; right now we don't even have a stand at the Field House," said Baldwin. The addition of color and increased circulation would have meant an increase in advertising rates, which would have allowed The Pride to buy things like office furniture and computers, and send more students to journalism conferences. Baldwin was emphatic that the fee was strictly limited to covering production costs. "We were asking students to pay for the cost of the printed paper they pick up," said Baldwin. In a memorandum dated January 14, 2005, Pride editors were informed of President Haynes decision not to solicit input from students on The Pride fee p ro-. posal. "I was very shocked," said Baldwin. "I was shocked because I felt like we put together a very thorough proposal. I was shocked because we were only asking for $2.50, and the fact that we were modeling v a program that's already been in place at Sac(ramento) State, where they've (their newspaper program has)flourished." "That's the system," added Dolan. "We did our best— we went through the system. The President thinks Athletics has more of an impact on the campus." When asked how she felt about the Athletics proposal going forward, Baldwin was stoic. "I personally feel athletics is a good thing for a campus, but I'm just so shocked. I really don't think this is like the newspaper versus the athletics department. What we were asking for is so much less—why couldn't we be on the ballot together?" said Baldwin.

"The counsel did recommend (to President Haynes) that the student newspaper fee be included on the ballot; we think it's important that students weigh in (on the issues)," said Martinez. When asked how frequently the University President has exercised his or her power not to accept the SFAC's recommendation, Martinez responded that former President Gonzalez did so twice during his six years at CSUSM, "on two different recommendations—a (mandatory fee) referenda recommendation and on a user fee adjustment." Haynes' decision not to allow students to vote on the student newspaper fee would be her first exercise of that power; Haynes had been president of CSUSM for less than one year at the time of her decision. Haynes was unavailable for either an in-person or a telephone interview, but did answer several questions via email. When asked why she didn't include The Pride proposal on the referendum, Haynes expressed concern over the current climate for increasing student fees. Haynes stated that, "the Chancellor's Office (where the final decision is made regarding the establishment of new student fees) has requested that campus Presidents exercise close scnitiny in establishing new mandatory fees " The Pride has requested confirmation of this directive from Chancellor Reed's office, but it was not received prior to press time. Both Haynes and Martinez believe that passage of the Athletics fee could benefit The Pride by frèeing up IRA funds from Athletics. In addition, Haynes stated that, "The IRA fee will be assessed this spring to determine if increasing this fee could support the newspaper at a higher level." The IRA fee has not been increased since its establishment in 1991. Haynes denied that The Pride's coverage of Michael Moore last semester influenced her decision. When asked if the fee would have meant an increase in salaries for editors of The Pride— which currently range from nothing for Copy Editor to $2,500 for Co-Editor-in-Chief per semester, Baldwin said, "No-the fee proposal was only to cover the actual costs of printing." The Athletics Department has other ideas about spending their potential referendum windfall. According to the Athletics Fee Referendum Voter Information web page prepared by the Student Fee Advisory Council (http://www.csusm.edu/student_affairs/athletic_vote.htm), the proposed mandatory $40 Athletics fee will generate nearly $300,000 per semester, most of which will pay the salaries of additional coaching staff. Athletics hopes to increase staff salaries from $40,000 per semester to nearly $200,000 per semester as it adds five new sports to the four it currently offers.

The General Education Lifelong Learning or GEL is a class that is aimed at making freshman learn studying tools, and also become well-rounded responsible citizens. First off, GEL was first introduced into the campus curriculum in 1995, when the first freshmen were enrolled at the campus. The course was intended to get students involved with the campus; and it was designed to help with academic discipline; help students to choose a major, and finally to assist students in the retention of knowledge gained from their courses. In spite of the objectives of the class, which seem like a great way to start off freshman year, the students of CSUSM aren't too thrilled about GEL. Students around campus feel that getting into college itself means that we can successfully manage time and study, some of the basic teachings of the class. But is there more to this class than meets the eye? After an interview with Joanne Pedersen, Ph.D. the Associate Director for First-Year Programs, she said, "The purpose of GEL is to enhance student success." This seems like a pretty large goal at hand and one that is quite intangible at the freshman level. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride G E L s tudents s it attentively d uring lecture. Mark Thomas, a student at CSUSM said, "I just don't understand why we have to pay for a class that the majority of students don't need to take." Despite having to take a class such as GEL to complete a government required course, it should be a class that is worth taking, but most students do not feel that way while taking the class. "Studies done by multiple universities," Pedersen said, "show that 30-40% of students drop out between their freshman and sophomore year." Pedersen later went on to say that with proH^HM grams like GEL, studies show that students are less likely to drop out and receive a better GPA throughout their college life. With this knowledge in hand it seems that GEL is a spot on perfect example of a freshman general education course. But students still aren't happy with the initial impact of the course. Before dreading going to class, think of how this class will benefit your This course was intended to get students involved with the campus future. Due to the simple topics at hand, or the things that all freshman "think they automatically know" coming into this new school, it seems that students aren't taking this course seriously. Yet in the long run this course will help students no matter how they feel in the present time. Down the road it could help students like Mark to acquire a job with skills he learned in the class. So before the class is judged by its surface, kind of like a book is judged by its cover, sit down and listen to the professors and hear what they have to say. Maybe new students will retain some of that knowledge. After all that was the goal of the course in the first place. R EED, from page 1 Ishmael Reed to CSUSM as part of the Arts & Lectures series. Dr. Sam Hamod, a creative writing professor and a good friend of Reed's, unabashedly introduced him as, "one of the world's greatest writers." Poetry is at its best when it is read aloud, and Reed captivated the audience with his rich, booming voice. He shared poems from a new album that he is producing called, "Bad Mouth," which is being distributed by Blue Note Records. The appreciative crowd burst into laughter at many of his one-line poems such as; "Van Gogh killed himself because he felt that sooner or later his paintings would be displayed in Las Vegas," or "I'd rather have my short term memory back than an El Dorado Cadillac." His longer pieces titled; "In a War Such Things Happen," and "Wanting to be a Right Wing Family Values Type of Man," were heartily applauded as the audience absorbed the underlying meanings of his satirical messages. Student Bellamy Walker said that, "It was really amazing to hear such an intellectual speak on our level and about our issues for black Americans." After reading his poetry, Reed held a question and answer session. When asked how he finds his ideas, Reed stated that he gets them from many different places because he gets asked to do so many dif- Photo by Yvonne Brett / The Pride Photos courtesy of Susie Lan-Cassel ferent things. This variety is good because writing in different forms helps to unblock your mind. In addition to his books he has written numerous essays, opinion pieces, and five plays. His next project will be to write a book about Muhammad Ali and his spiritual beliefs. Sonia Gutierrez, a former CSUSM grad student said, "I am a great admirer of African American literature and that is where I find my own voice " Gutierrez, who now teaches at Palomar College, had cancelled her evening class to come and hear Reed speak. After the lecture Reed stayed and graciously signed autographs for the many admirers of his craft. His visit was definitely one of the highlights of the activities celebrating Black History Month at CSUSM. �Transition team at CSUSM Rodolfo Acuña to VUSD students interact with campus life BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Areli, J.R., Justin, Bruce, Vianey, Rusby, Armando, Marcella, and William are the students who help keep our campus clean. These students are part of a transition program run through Vista Unified School District in conjunction with the Facility Services Department of CSUSM. The transitional program itself has been in operation on campus for ten years with the main focus being a way for the students involved to gain life skills, practice personal autonomy, and learn work habits such as following directions and seeing a task through to the end. Students involved in the transition program work Monday through Thursday from 7:15 a.m. until 1:15 p.m. Depending upon where the students live, their day begins anywhere from 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Once on campus, the students, accompanied by their teachers Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski, meet in the dome and receive their duties for the day. The student's main duty is to clean campus but Photo by Loriann Samano / The Pride Molina said "the students do what ever is asked of them and there is always variation." Like most eighteen to twenty-two year olds, the student's favorite part of the day is break time. This gives the students a chance to eat lunch in the Dome and gain additional social skills through interaction with the student population here on campus. The students involved with the transitional program are excited with the opportunity of being able to interact with other students and observe day to day campus life. All students involved in the transitional program were enthusiastic with the only complaint being witnessing other students litter and disrespecting our beautiful second home. "This is an excellent opportunity for them to develop life skills and we also get to benefit from them," said Chuck Walden, director of facility services. "I think they are a great group of young people." The transitional program is both innovative and outstanding for all parties involved. So next time you see these students keeping our campus clean give them a smile, hug, or a high-five and express to them our gratitude f or a job well done. como to campus Founder of Chicano Studies speaks as part of Arts and Lectures series t hroughout the United States.

BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer Priority President Evan Trown meets with The Pride BY ZACHERY SIMON Pride Staff Writer The fickle Gods of Time and Information always seem to make themselves scarce when students consider joining a campus club. Still, those searching defiantly for a group to exercise their beliefs, rather than merely their tastes, might take a moment for any of the three Christian organizations here at CSUSM. To help provide some guidance, The Pride has conducted interviews with two club leaders and hopes to include the third as well. This week we'll be sharing our conversation with Evan, president of 'Priority Christian Challenge', following up next week with Paul from 'Christ on Campus'. The questions were intended to give students, and perhaps the leaders themselves, a better idea of the beliefs that govern these clubs. Evan Trown's first hello into the tape recorder is nervous, new to the format, but a pleasant humor suppresses any shyness. Let's get some background on the club, how long has it been active here at CSUSM? Priority started about 5 years ago, and I've been here for two. How long have you been the president? Actually I just started in December. So I was the vice president last semester, and then got promoted. Was this a democratic process? How did that go in terms of the ranking? Pretty much is...if you feel like you're called upon to be i n a position of leadership then you, like, apply for it and then pretty much if you want to be it...theeen you are. (laughs) Our president graduated in December, and I decided that I would like to be president, and that I felt like God on campus and we actually go to one of the was telling me to.. .to step up into the next other clubs and we are almost identical in everything we do, um, we all believe the position of leadership. How does your club approach recruit- same thing, the three clubs on this campus do anyway, and um basically we just proment? vide dif times and dif locations where Pretty much we just try and make sure that we are open and available to anyone people can come to meet.

What do you think is the best part about reach things outside of the campus but running a Christian organization in the mostly our focus is on this campus and spreading the word of Christ to the stu21st century? dents that are on this campus. Well At least for us here on this campus Now, what would you say are some of in the United States I feel like we're just the benefits and some of the setbacks of blessed because we can have this room to have this club on our campus. I don't attending a secular university? Um -benefits- would be that it's moreknow I just love the fact that we have the more open there's a lot more students here freedom to meet and talk about god on our that that you can reach um from a Chrispublic school campus. How would you compare your orga- tian perspective and that enables you to nization to other spiritually centered have the opportunity to-to witness and share the gospel with more people. Probyouth organizations? I think it's pretty much the same, I mean ably some of the setbacks would be just the I know there's two other Christian clubs uh (chuckles a breath) the unsaved people that um oppose the things that our clubs does and just the difficulties and the whole process of having to go through the secular campus, uh, rules and regulations before we can have any sort of events. Thank you...Um, Gettin down to the final questions here. Does your club have a unified concept of heaven? I think so, most of us, uh, were, well a lot of us were raised in church settings, so most of us have some preconceived notions of everything, that basically what we learn in our club, from past church experiences and what not, so really think do have kinda...a common belief in what heaven is, and that kind of a thing. Do people who die having rejected Christ go to Hell? I believe so, yes. We um as a club and as an individual believe that um people who have not asked Christ to.. .have a personal relationship with them are going to Hell. And that.. .1 mean that says so right in the bible, so. Okay um, the final question, I know you mentioned earlier there were two other Christian...oriented clubs on campus. Why do you think there are three separate organizations? You know a lot of people ask us that question and we even ask ourselves that question sometimes. Mostly, it's because we're each funded by a dif church. So, our club is funded by a Baptist organization, and Christ on campus, the other club is sponsored by the Episcopalian church, and Intervarsity has its own backing from, I don't know, they're like a huge organization, So, pretty much because we all have these different funds it actually allows us to have um various times that we can meet that can meet the needs of all the students on campus, �Feb. 22-24 I 10:00 a m - 3:00 p m C outyard o utside of U niversity Store UNIVERSITY �THE PRIDE Tuesday, February 22, 2005 IT ; By JASON NOKSJS P Ä Ombudsman I can take off that fatty clock 'round my neck and let up on Chez.

The military and education both have different scales, it does cost more to defend the country then it does to educate, but that's not the point I am trying to make. The point is that the military is receiving a significantly larger percentage of money compared to education. In my opinion, that says something about the value of education versus the value of national defense/Iraqi liberation. I think it's great that the President wants to cut our debt in half, but at the expense of education? Some of the programs that are going to be cut from schools are vocational programs at the high school level, Safe and Drug-Free School grants, money for technology, Upward Bound programs for inner-city youth, and the Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program (ESSCP). By cutting thè ESSCP, students are going to lose counseling and mental health services and school counselors will lose their jobs. Counselors are crucial for academic success especially for students with learning disabilities. 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Isn't there already enough pressure to get into college without the undue stress of annual standardized tests? Bush's purpose is to narrow the achievement gap between richer districts and poorer districts. I agree with what Bushy has to say about quality education, narrowing the achievement gap and providing equal education to children of all backgrounds...I just disagree with the way he goes about doing it. There is no incentive for high school students to do well on yearly standardized testing, in fact the worse they do, the more money their school will get with Titfe I funding. It is still their SAT scores that are going to get them into college. Well, I will benefit from Bush's Pell Grant increase (it pays to not be employed and to be a full time student), but I just don't see how elementary and secondary schools are going to benefit. �A shot of whiskoywith a university bureacratic chaser BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer If you have been at Cal State San Marcos for a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the CORE survey o f2002. The CORE survey examined the drinking habits of CSUSM students. Not surprising, we learned that there was not a significant problem with excessive alcohol consumption at our school. (Who could forget the mouse pads and posters blasting us with statistics designed to make us think otherwise before having that third or fourth drink when out on the town?) Why is it that CSUSM has now received a $48,000 portion of a state grant designed for alcohol and traffic safety? It seems to me that if there is not a significant problem with drinking on campus, and the student population in general cannot be categorized as "problem drinkers," then what exactly will the University implement with this money? According to the January 31 press release announcing this award, the money will go to further surveys and research aimed "to identify the highest risk alcohol-licensed establishments patronized by San Marcos students." These 'problem' bars in the. community will then be subject to "comprehensive risk assessment inventories" Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride that will give the University information to dissuade students from going to those places. In addition, the bars that are identified as problematic will find themselves in a Big Brother dragnet as the University teams with local law enforcement "to increase visibility of DUI checkpoints in and around areas frequented by students." Am I the only one who is creeped out with a chill of fascism? First off, the University must back off. If students are of legal drinking age and are respected as individuals, then the choices they make are their own. If they want to go to a bar and drink, the University should not interfere. If they want to test the waters and run the DUI gauntlet, then let law enforcement do their job without the information of where and when students will be drinking being hande4 to tirads-' I t ' them by the University. This is the worst kind of liberal left 'we know what is best for you' combined with fastidious right 'you will fall in line and do what we say is right' I have seen proposed on our campus. I drink in San Marcos often at places I can safely assume will soon be 'problem' bars. I drive home from these bars. I am a responsible adult of 28 years and know when not to drive home after drinking. I do not, however, look forward to ditching checkpoints on my way home so that I can avoid an arbitrary and static BAC standard which if I exceed will land me in jail. This is soon the reality, though. I hope the University reconsiders its priorities. Failing that, I hope the people stand up and call for responsible accountability of their tax dollars from where this grant money originates. Hunter S. Thompson In drunken memory of Hunter S.

ASI hosts Casino Night in the Field House BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer What happens in the Field House, stays in the Field House. All that was missing was the noisy clamor of the slot machines when the ASI sponsored Casino Night last Thursday. Participants were handed $500 in play money as they came in the door, which they traded in for chips to play poker, roulette or blackjack. Dealers in white shirts and bow ties from Casino Magic ran the tables. Erik Groset, the Director of Social Programming for ASI was in charge of the event, attended by around 200 people. "I couldn't have done it without the help of the ASI Program Board," said Groset. The group is planning another evening within the next few months that would feature poker games. Mike Louzek, waiting for a spot to open up on Mike Louzek, Travis R oger, a nd J órgen Havre Photos by Yvonne Brett / The Pride one of the popular poker tables, said he was, "winning massive amounts of money and having lots of fun." As they finished playing, players traded their chips for raffle tickets that they could put in boxes to win prizes. Drawings were held at the end of the evening and lucky winners went home with prizes like: a trip for two to Laughlin, the Halo 2 game for X-Box, a George Foreman grill, a cordless mouse, an I-Pod Shuffle, and many more. Travis Roger, who attends Palomar, but lives in the UVA was checking out the prize table with his roommate Jorgen Havre who is from Bergen, Norway. "I am having f un enjoying the American lifestyle," said Havre. He laughingly added that he is, "looking for an American sweetheart to bring back to Europe." Casino Night was a lot of f un because you didn't have to drive to Vegas forfive1hours, if you lost your shirt they gave you a free one, and heck, you weren't losing real money anyway. Keanu is wooden as "Constantine" N either M ilton, n or H eaven, n or H ell c an save D C C omics a daptation BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Demons. Brimstone. CGI. John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a self-appointed agent of demon exorcism in this DC comic book adaptation of "Hellblazer." "Constantine" is a carry-over of John Milton's epic, "Paradise Lost," about a war between Heaven and Hell. In the story, humans are supposed to be left alone to their own devices and without direct intrusion from either Heaven or Hell. Each side tries to collect as many souls as it can, and the one with the most souls wins. Milton, a pro-Protestant, would not be too keen on the idea that the Catholics of Constantine are the heroes. Constantine was born with a gift that he doesn't understand. He eventually attempts suicide but doesn't succeed and returns to Earth after a spell in Hell. Catholic doctrine states that suicide is a one-way ticket to Hell, so Constantine develops his skill of sending demons home in order to secure a ticket into Heaven. He is recruited by Angela (Rachel Weisz), to solve the unanswered question of why her sister committed suicide. Along the way, they battle demons with weapons Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. of angelic origin. The highlights of the movie are the special effects and action. If the plot is overdone, or even confusing, the action should keep you entertained. It received an "R" rating and maybe saved the movie for me. A "PG-13" would have been too boring with the bad acting and old plot. It has some gory scenes that may even rival that of "The Exorcist," but is counteracted but a lot of dry, dark humor by the character Constantine. The story is far from original, and has been better explained. In fact I could count the number of movies it borrowed from, like "The Prophecy", "Blade" and even "Dogma." As usual, Reeves pulls a subpar performance, I still don't understand why someone with the personality of a wooden doll seems to keep getting work. I do give him credit for trying a character with a morose sense of humor, but he delivers it with force. Even Weisz seems to be brought down by Reeves and acts below her norm. There was a surprising performance by rock star Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He brings an eerie performance to the demon Balthazar. If the movie's purpose was to produce an original story with a great plot or even good acting, it failed. If its purpose was to make an action film based on a comic book, with decent special effects, then it did a good job. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The 22year-old junior communication major had earned a 3.0 grade point average the previous semester and was running the 400meter hurdles for CSUSM on a scholarship, boasting times that placed him within the top 25 of all Division I and Division II colleges for that event. Following the October 20 In an effort to aid frustrated students, the CSUSM History Department, under the direction of Dr. Patricia Seleski, has recently contacted Advising Services in hopes of regaining some control over major advising. The decision came after numerous complaints to the History Department and instructors from students over the inability of Advising Services to meet their needs. Although history professors have attempted to deal with the individual advising needs of its students in the past, a more concentrated effort is now underway to deal with the issue. Student problems with advising have been especially rife with history majors, probably because of the major's special requirements such as themes and portfolios. The most common complaints that history professors have received from students is the lack of advising availability. For example, history major Claudia Hernandez See WILLIAMS, page 2 See ADVISING, page 3 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride David Halttunen (left) and Daniel Vareal (right) await assistance at Advising Services.

The charges have since been reduced to an infraction of having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle and misdemeanor possession of a knife on a college campus, which in total carry a possible sentence of up to a year in jail and a substantial fine. Williams said that the traffic stop was unwarranted as well as the subsequent search of his vehicle. He also said was he was treated inappropriately by officers. Williams filed a formal complaint against the officers involved in the stop, CSUSM Police Officers Bronson, Pike, Sainz and Panza. An independent investigation conducted following the complaint concluded on February 1 that, "the officers involved in this case acted within the policies and procedures established for the CSUSM police department," and made numerous recommendations for change within the department. "I did nothing wrong," said Williams when asked if he felt he was unfairly targeted by police. Williams said that despite the embarrassment of going public with his arrest it was, "the risk I had to take to let people know." Williams said that he was unfairly targeted by police due to his race. He said he felt compelled*^ tell his story because he wanted others to "know how things are in the world." Williams talked about the details of his arrest and subsequent impact it had on his everyday life. THE pride "While I was in jail I g0t jumped for pissing in the wrong urinal," said Williams. He talked about how he was attacked in jail several times and was put in the same cells with murderers. A fter his time in police custody, Williams said he had problems sleeping and studying, and as a result his grades suffered. He said he was asked to quit the track team following what he described as 'racial separation' amongst team members. Williams said he quit the team to avoid further conflict. "Basically, if this whole thing had never happened, I would be winning titles right now," said Williams. He said his legal worries are constantly on his mind due to the fact he cannot afford a private attorney. Williams also worries how he will pay for tuition and other expenses next semester now that he no longer has his track scholarship. Despite the legal and financial setbacks as a result of his arrest and pending trial, Williams still aspires to be an educator. He also is currently in a local rap group Elm Street. "I am trying not to let things like this get me down," said Williams. When asked what he wanted the readers to know Williams said, "In this society people are so quick to judge others on the way they look, talk, and dress, never seeking to find the truth inside. We are in college. This is where we learn about new cultures, new people and new ways of thinking. For once let's begin judging individuals for who they are and what they stand for, because no matter what religion or belief you have you eventually will be judged for how you treated others." fplHlOlfe $ 150 Q UEEN P ILLOW-TOP M attress set.

For six weeks, Hernandez was unable to reserve a space due to the huge flood of requests that barraged Web Scheduler every Monday morning when it opened. When emailing Advising Services directly did nothing to resolve the problem, Hernandez turned to one of her history professors for advisement. A number of frustrated history majors have similarly fallen back on their teachers for advisement assistance. Many of the advising problems that have been frustrating students lately have their root in thefinancialcutbacks that recently affected CSUSM. Aside from having funding for both advisors and staff slashed, Advising Services also underwent a number of structural changes that included gaining advisement aspects that had previously been regulated to professors. At the same time there has been a continual influx of students to the campus, all of who need advisement, only adding to the woes of Advising Services. In other words, Advising Services has become smaller while taking on more responsibilities. Despite the immediate problems, both the history and advising departments stress that they look forward to working together to better serve student needs. The department was "really decimated" by the loss of funds, but has been "trying to be really creative to meet the challenges" said advising director Andres Favela. Looking towards the future, Favela's department is attempting to imple- ment a recovery plan to help counter the hits it took from the financial cutbacks including experimenting with group advising sessions and walk-in appointments which the department implemented temporarily last fall. Advising Services is aware of the disputes students are having and see the recent decision by the History Department as a good development which will hopefully relieve some of the problems for students. In the meantime Favela advises students to be proactive when it comes to seeking advisement, a sentiment echo by the history department. Yet despite its efforts, many students still feel ignored by Advising Services. History major, Theresa Francis has been proactive in her attempts to work with Advising Services yet has continually run up against a brick wall. In September 2004, Francis submitted her form for grad check only to get it back with the incorrect history themes listed. Despite numerous attempts to contact Advising Services and remedy thè problem, Francis has been unable to correct the situation, and has had difficulties in getting Advising Services to respond. The relief of problems with grad checks is one of the major issues the History Department will be tackling immediately. "Advisement is almost as important as instruction," notes history professor Dr. Jill Watts, who echoes Advising Services complaint that financial cutbacks and structural issues have hampered advisement. Students need the "whole educational package" said Watts, a thought that many teachers and students hope will be met with future cooperation between the two departments.

Many students on campus are reluctant to eat at the generic eateries in the Dome for a variety of reasons. "Sometimes I get sick off of the food on campus, and it's not the best quality we could have," said student Jackie Espinoza. "There's not a lot to choose from," said student Marco Garcia. Yet many students are unaware that Cal State San Marcos could not bring permanent franchises on our campus due to the low student population. "Most franchises require a student head count of at least 10,000 to even consider setting up on a college campus, and Cal State San Marcos is only around 7,500," said Pam Edmonson, director of Commercial Services for the Cal State San Marcos Foundation. "We didn't meet the criteria of outside operators." It seemed like there would never come a time when outside restaurant franchises would come to fruition at Cal State San Marcos. That was until Starbucks arrived on campus. The Starbucks in Kellogg Library was the first stepping stone for other vendors. "Bringing Starbucks on our campus was not easy," said Edmonson, "a lot of negotiation and persuasion went back and forth between Starbucks Company and the Foundation." The Starbucks across the street at the Campus Marketplace shopping center had to give their okay for the Starbucks on campus before it could be completed. The final agreement put the CSUSM Foundation in control of Starbucks making it a licensed store that pays a portion of proceeds back to Starbucks. Edmonson feels this is the best way to bring outside franchises onto campus because the control would be in the hands of the University and not the company. She said that giving the university control over franchises on campus is more beneficial to students who need part time jobs because they IIb ^^P HHP i p f l i1 Magazine Is now accepting èuliÉissions Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Starbucks was the first famous franchise on campus. can apply for employment at the franchises directly through the CSUSM Foundation. Now that other businesses are looking at Cal State San Marcos as a place to make money, Edmonson has begun speaking with Subway and Smoothie King in the Campus Marketplace. Both franchises are in the process of working an agreement with the CSUSM Foundation to test how their products would fair on our campus.

Changes may not happen right away, but Edmonson and the CSUSM Foundation are working on them. According to Edmonson, there will be a small space reserved in the new business building for food service but no decision as to what kind of food service has been made. Allowing brand name vendors to set up carts around the Arts building is also currently under consideration.

The pros & cons of shelling out big bucks for music at your fingertips BY JULIE OXFORD Pride Staff Writer The Apple iPod is filling the ears and pockets of consumers everywhere. It is rare to walk around this campus without seeing the signature white earbuds donned by students who just can't live without their music. When asked about her iPod CSUSM student Lindsay Waiters said, "I am a total proponent. I have nothing but good things to say about it." So what is it and why is it so coveted? The Apple iPod has gone through seven different designs (including the iPod mini, the iPod shuffle, and the iPod photo.) The current design, the fourth generation iPod, has two models. One has 20GB, holds up to 5,000 songs and retails at $299; the other has 40GB, holds up to 10,000 songs and retails at $399. There __.«.— is an educational discount available which decreases the prices to $269 and $369. One of the favorite options on the iPod is the shuffle feature, which allows you to shuffle through entire albums or individual songs. By opting to shuffle through individual songs you can have the equivalent of T ^"""™"^™"" your own radio station, without having to hear that annoying song 18 times a day, and without commercials. The 20GB model could play continuously for 13 days without repeating one song. Another favorite feature is the On-theGo playlist. This feature allows you to pick favorite songs, as many as you'd like, and put them on a playlist. This can be done on the iPod itself, without using a computer. You can make multiple playlists and each one is saved individually. It's like making a mixed tape or cd, in less than two minutes. You can also use the iPod as a backup hard drive, as an organizer (it includes contacts, calendars and to-do lists), as a voice recorder (by purchasing the Griffin iTalk voice recorder), or as portable storage for your digital photos (by purchasing either the Belkin digital camera link or media reader.) A fully charged iPod battery can last up to 12 hours. Other options for power include a car adapter, an a/c adapter, and the Belkin AA battery pack, for those times when there are no plugs. The iPod can be played through your car or home stereo using a tape adapter or the Griffin iTrip. The iTrip transmits your music through a station on your FM dial. It has gotten mixed reviews though, with complaints of music cutting in and out, a beeping noise when there is no signal, and occasional distortion or interference. When you first get your iPod the initial transferring of music will take some time. First, your music has to be put on your computer. When you do this you have to input the information for each album (artist, song, and album titles) through your itunes folder. This could take several days, weeks, or even months. Then once all of your music is on your computer you plug in your iPod and all the files transfer over. Xhis can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on how many songs are being transferred. The reason why everyone wants it: the iPod allows you to have all of your music with you at all times. The days of picking out cd's to put in your car changer or your cd case are gone. Lindsay Watters said, "I can go anywhere with it, traveling is so much easier now." So what happens if it breaks? Unfortunately iPods have been known to simply stop working. Sometimes the unit may get stuck on one song, or the unit will turn off and not turn back on. There are directions and a tutorial on troubleshooting for your iPod at apple, com/support/ipod/. Often the unit simply needs to be reset. But sometimes there is Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises...

The entire process is very quick. It only Most of us, however, don't want a refurbished product. We paid $300+ for a new, and functioning, iPod and that is what we want. But according to the representatives from customer relations there is no way to guarantee that you will receive a new iPod in place of a defective one. I own a third generation iPod. One day it started making funny noises. Then it would turn off suddenly. Then it stopped working all together. I filled out the repair form online and promptly received my replacement. Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises. Then it turned off and froze. It would not turn back on or respond in any way. I was not happy. I called AppleCare Support to find out how they could help me. I talked to four different people and asked them all the same question, 'how do I get a new iPod or a refund'. I got the same answer from all of them, there is no way to guarantee that your broken iPod will be replaced with a new iPod, and you cannot get a refund. This made no sense to me because when I received the replacement it included a letter in which Apple claimed to be, ".. .committed to (my) total satisfaction." I was definitely not satisfied. I wanted a new iPod or I wanted my money back. But there was no talking to See IPOD, page 6 �IPOD, from page 5 Language requirement: waste of time or essential part of a college education? retention as "hardly any."

After making a loose reference to the. number of studies that show languages are best taught at the elementary level, Mr. Igaskai agreed with the findings, yet added "It's great, but that's not the way it is (in the US)...that doesn't mean we should just have no program at the university level." As to why California still fails to act on these studies, he said, "Funding, lack of commitment on the part of administrators, on the part of politicians." Though hard pressed to form a speculation on the reason behind these shortcomings, he imagined there would be more work for foreign language teachers should they catch up. And if the minimum foreign language proficiency was dropped as a graduation requirement? "Attendance probably wouldn't be as high in those lower classes, but then we could add more at the upper divisions."

I had already been transferred four times, and I was late for school. So I finally gave up. I got online tofillout the repair form, again, and I was prompted to enter a credit card number to pay for shipping fees. This was the last straw. I was not going to pay to send back my defective iPod. I called back to Apple Customer Relations to solve the problem. What I got was a customer representative who could not complete a sentence and had me on the phone for nearly an hour before he transferred me to someone who was, I'm guessing, his superior. This man said that the only way to avoid having to pay shipping was to pick up my replacement at the retail store in La Jolla. So I did. • * I am now on my third iPod, and I am nervous that this will not be my last. There is no way of telling if it is new or refurbished. I am simply hoping that this one does not break after my warranty is expired. If it does I could get it replaced for $249 plus $6.95 shipping and handling. That is, I could pay more than $250 for a refurbished iPod. It is very unlikely that I will buy anything from Apple again.

But we don't. And it can't. When the time comes for my generation to collect on its S ocial Security, the program will most likely be bankrupt. Proof of this is in how the retirement age slowly continues to get older and older. It's because the government can't afford to pay everyone right now. How ironic since it seems that the younger generations are working more and therefore putting in quite a bit of money into this system, yet probably won't see that money later when they'll need it. If the government were to pay everyone what they deserved at that point, who knows what kind of programs would need to be cut because of the level of bankruptcy we would be in. According to Social Security Trustees, as posted on www.whitehouse.gov, if nothing was to be done and we left the system as it is, it will cost future generations $10.4 trillion. Then, by 2042, when individuals in their mid-twenties now will be beginning to retire, the system will be bankrupt. That's a scary thought for me because I pay taxes and I most certainly pay into Social Security, yet I won't be seeing any of it.

I'm still in my house today because my husband received SSDI while he was sick and dying, and private disability insurance would take a pretty big chunk out of any private investment money that refunding my Social Security payments would bring. Bush is proposing a lot of safeguards so that even an inept investor would come out rich—like not being able to take the money out for anything but retirement (sorry, you'll have to find another way to buy that Mercedes), and moving the money to safer investments at age forty-seven—but there would always be the possibility that some scumbag, Enron-type swindler would come along and take your money, leaving the government (read "other taxpayers") to keep you off the street.

Speeding through the Sunday evening congestion on the Orange County stretch of Interstate 5 and opening it up to a constant 90 to 100 mph once the traffic broke in Los Angeles could not overcome a miscommunication about the scheduled time of the show (9:15, not 11:00 p.m.). The Troubadour show was the second show of weekend; fortunately, I had caught the debut show of the band two nights earlier at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana. Duane Peters of the U.S. E^ombs and Die Hunns has been a punk rock staple for many years on the true underground scene. The Gunfight represents a fusion of Peters' punk influence mixed with straight up rock n' roll. Peters recruited the talent of four established musicians for The Gunfight.

It is rare for a band these days, especially a punk band, to employ this type of musical front. Most bands have a one or two guitar front, which has become a somewhat industry standard. There was a time, however, when the three guitar front was prominent (particularly, in my mind, with the stadium bands of the '70s). The rhythm kept by Trejo and Moras provides a solid foundation for the band. One can move to the beat, the pit was going pretty strong on the parquet dance floor of the Galaxy, but keep your arms up and eyes open or you might find yourself bowled over fairly quickly. The Duane Peters' Gunfight is about to go on tour with The Weirdos. Upcoming dates include two stops in North County. The first show is in San Marcos on Friday, February 25 at the Longshot Saloon. The band is playing the following night, February 26, at the Hellfire House in Vista. Contact those venues for ticket information and age restrictions.

BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Every Thursday night at eight o'clock I turn the phone off, get into my jammies, and get comfortable on the couch to watch "The O.C." There, I said it. I will admit that I am a fan of "The O.C." I love this high school drama show that makes light of sex and substance abuse. This season unfolded more drama with Marissa's tantrums Image courtesy of FOX Network South Park and rebellious behavior. Many new characters have emerged, such as Caleb's bastard daughter Lindsay; Alex the rebel with purple streaks in her hair; Summer's new beau Zach (who is oddly similar to Seth...except Zach is way cuter) and Sandy's old flame has come to the O.C. Even with all of the makings of a hit series, I often ask myself how I got hooked on such an asinine show. The plot is formulaic (except Marissa turning lesbian.. .didn't see that one coming), the acting is horrendous (Marissa's awkward scenes with hottie newcomer Alex) and the costumes (if you could call them that) are totally sexist. I can scarcely recall Marissa or Summer wearing anything that covered up their fantastic cleavage. Yet, week after week I am drawn to "The O.C." Maybe it's the bad acting, or maybe it's the suspense that keeps me coming back for more. Whatever the reason, I actually feel my I.Q. dropping a notch or two after each episode, and at this rate, I'll never get into Mensa. Who cares, "The O.C." is way cooler. Adult Swim Image courtesy of Comedy Central BY CHEZARE MILO Pride StaffWriter My guilty pleasure is South Park; I drop whatever I'm doing and make time to watch each new episode. Full of racist epithets, foul language, and poor taste, South Park is the ultimate parody of American life; every episode is so wrong that I have to laugh out loud. My guilt stems from the fact that unquestioning individuals, and/or children, will see Kenny's recurring bloody dismemberment and Mr. Love is in the Heir BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of E! Entertainment Television Slave's sexual antics in the classroom as appropriate behavior rather than outrageous. The only way I can justify supporting the show through my ritual viewing is that the antics of Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are not only entertaining, but bring important social issues to light. Parody is unique in its ability to make people see the absurdities that are occurring around us all the time, and perhaps consider other views before automatically holding on to learned societal norms. Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo serves an important societal role .yeah right! Dare I admit my addictive obsession with E's reality TV show "Love is in the Heir?" Sad but true, each week I eagerly tune in to find out about the exciting and amusing life of Ann Claire; a London princess turned country singer/songwriter in Los Angeles. Her painstakingly terrible musical performances, dramatic exchanges with her unqualified personal assistant, and her dating disasters keep me coming back for more. Despite the fact that she is the only person in her family without an English accent, that she claims to fear getting cut off from her parents even though she has her own TV show, and the atrociously poor acting that is exhibited by both her personal assistant and her personal trainer/boyfriend, I somehow manage to convince myself week after week that the show is real. After watching this program religiously for an entire season I find myself listless, wondering if and when it will once again reappear on television. Thus far there has been no mention of any plans for further episodes on the E! Network or on their website. For now I will sit on my couch, remote in hand, distraught look on my sad, sad face and long for the day that "Love is in the Heir" returns to my TV screen. Overly dramatic you say? Watch the show once and you will be hooked—I'm currently researching treatment programs to rid me of this misery. Image courtesy of Cartoon Network • _ BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer It began, as so many of the few remaining worthwhile ventures, in the early 90s, with a handful of geeks in Atlanta re-dubbing old Hanna Barberra Sixties Saturday Sci-fi into a talk show that ranged from silly to surreal. Long too obscure to be shameful, its appeal to the intoxicated/antisocial, now horrifyingly united by A1 Gore's failure and media's greatest Ziggurat, at last birthed a Satan of animation to rival any demon in the Spike & Mike Goetia. "Adult Swim" is not only the best excuse to get cable; it is the best reason to own a television. Originally confined to Sunday's late night, it is now proof positive that the Cartoon Network is not, was never,, 'just for kids.' This is the kind of funny that keeps your mouth agape in lobotomy-awe for a good five minutes before one of two reactions: an unnerved notion that TV is finally spitting in your face, or laughter that leaves you even wetter. Some of the shows are/were better than others, but give them all a wade, a stroke, a dive. "Adult Swim's" DVD collections might be available for rent, but buy them, in public, and share in my ecstatic shame. Strange Love BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer If you've never seen "Strange Love" then you're missing one of the oddest shows of all times. A spin-off of last season's "Surreal Life," VH1 decided to take up where that show left off, focusing on the love and drama of rapper Flavor Flav and actress Brigitte Nielsen. Just looking at the two of them is enough to qualify as strange, but it's their quirky personalities that make this show a winner. But there's a twist: Brigitte is engaged to be married to a man who couldn't be a more opposite to Flavor, so he's on a mission to win her back. Brigitte walks around in her black netted lingerie bodysuit half the time, and Flavor (or "Fluffy-Fluffy" as Brigitte calls him) looks like a little kid with a Viking helmet on his head. Am I embarrassed to say I watch this show? Hell no! It's got all the right elements; love, scandal, beautiful scenery (Italy), and characters with great personalities. Watching an Amazon woman and a little man from completely different cultures taking the romance back to high school level is beyond entertaining. In fact, it's the best escape I've found from my real world. Reality TV just doesn't get any better than this!

The agreement allows Discount Campus B ooks access to almost all of the b ooks used this spring semester, but at a cost of $1.50 per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester alone, that is a cost of $975 for Discount Campus Books. That amount is an acceptable cost for the store that is hoping to t urn a measurable profit for the first time. "We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this semester," said John Kilby, manager of the store. With the requisitions, Kilby said they have already seen a 30 p ercent increase in sales this semester alone. In addition, with an agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books can eliminate the lawyer's fees they have b een paying to keep the fight going, Kilby said. The-agreement, which covers the spring and summer 2005 semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester. Kilby is optimistic about the f uture negotiations. " I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they will go okay," said Kilby. Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to order b ooks for the current semesters based on previous semester's orders. This o ften led to wrong orders of outdated editions or books discontinued for particular classes. Some professors provided book information, but accurate i nformation was not directly provided. "It is a w in f or the students," said Kilby.

Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature and Writing Department Chair Professor Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint. The four page investigation summary, dated February 1, devoted more than three of its pages to making recommendations for change within the CSUSM police department. The report suggests the creation of a task force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race." In the report, the investigators remark at the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during the last three years as "deserv(ing) further review." The report states: "It is troubling to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly that of the white arrest rate and nearly double the percentage of Hispanic students on campus." Other recommendations in the report include the commencing of an internal review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and to present those findings to the vice president and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race inequity" was also recommended as well as changing the complaint procedures to be "both student-friendly and statistically useful." The documenting of traffic stops and arrests "to ward against racial profil- BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1 ing," the adoption of a community policing model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain "more descriptive facts" rounded out the report's recommendations. Interim Chief of University Police Aaron Woodard said^he felt that the investigation was, "complete and thorough," and that he "felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone investigating (the case) would have come to the same conclusions," said Woodard. When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard said that many of the recommendations are already being implemented. "We (University police) have to and are doing more to get the people to get to know who we are," said Woodard. He declined f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus policing task force. Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared and remarked that the findings were, "how i thought everything would work out," and that he was "trying not to let things like this get me down." Williams said that he was concerned that the clearing of the officers involved in his traffic stop sent the wrong message to the campus and community at large. "It is like saying that this was OK. What do you think the justice system will do to me? What do you think is happening to those not in colleges?" said Williams. Expressing his belief that university police should be more of a p eacekeeping force than a strict enforcement agency Williams said, "no one should be getting arrested on college campuses unless there is a big emergency." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I hope to get 90-95 percent of the books assigned." This semester, the off campus alternative got about 85 percent of the books, Kilby said. In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester. "We will keep selling books at a discount, but we will expand to include other services," Kilby said. The representatives from the Foundation who negotiated the agreement with Discount Campus Books were out of the office on Monday and unavailable for comment.

Haynes presented her first report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3. According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15 to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side. The Pride did not attend the event, but did receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from the Office of Communications. Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan, "We're Building a Place for You," has become outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15 years. According to Haynes' speech, "We have now built a place for you. We are ready to move from our past success to significance, building vital communities through education and partnerships." The speech outlined three essential building blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership. Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence is the top priority. The university will continue to develop new academic majors and expand on existing programs to meet the needs of the community. "As these new majors and concentrations are rolled out, they will include the strengths of our existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes' speech. call for similar parking fee increases for faculty. The plan* went into effect under the direction of former CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez (July 1998 - June 2003), before he moved on, as a ten year plan to help accommodate the expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San Marcos is considered a commuter school, most of the students drive to school and the demand for parking space will increase with enrollment. Unlike San Diego State, where they have 36,000 students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here at CSUSM always have a place to park, even if it is in the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that way. Robert Williams, the Coordinator of Business Operations & Technology, Parking Services, explained how in order to pay for new spaces on campus, Parking Services has to come up with its own money. "We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams. Money designated to schools from the state of California cannot be used for parking services and the expense of building just a flat surface is increasing in California. "Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams talking about how the cost of construction and labor in California has gone up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will run about 354 million dollars. Williams also said that the plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably run about 18 million dollars. Williams also talked about the difficulty to get approval for such construction. "It's like buying a house," said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans, we have money in the bank, and we have to get preapproved for any of these construction projects to get underway." When asked why students must bare the brunt of the fee increase alone he said Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride that "faculty [parking fee someone that has a similar start operations in late 2007, increases] have to be done at school schedule. according to the NCTD web the state level."

"A lot of u s on campus can't a fford to buy these things anyway," said St. John. In the past, students have not had a say in which vendors they would like to see on campus, but D eGuzman stated that this was something they would add to their suggestion cards in the f uture. Perhaps students wouldn't feel so indifferent if some of the vendors were picked by them. ASI usually posts the schedule on the window outside their office facing Founders Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in March. T he area around Commons and the Founders Plaza smelled of smoke f rom the brief fire that followed the explosion. The San Marcos Fire Department was called out to inspect the light and t he interior of Commons 206 to ensure there was no danger of a residual fire. The inspection revealed no f urther danger. Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were gathering f or a meeting outside Commons 206 when the explosion occurred. "It literally j ust popped o ff," said sophomore Jacelyn Foley. " Then a fire started behind it." ' It smelled real b ad," said Christina Salter, sophomore. The sorority was meeting to discuss spring recruitment. Hernandez said that Facility Services h ad been contacted and would handle the repair of light. At press time, there was no plan to close or restrict access to the second floor Commons corridor.

Ishmael Reed's body of work r uns the gamut. From novels, poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in University since the late 1960s. One of Reed's most recent essays, "Another Day at the Front," is a deftly crafted social criticism of the homefront war. America's long tradition of racism is explored in this work, which evokes deep emotional Photo courtesy of The Circle Brotherhood Association responses f rom its readers. One of the purposes of his work has been to provoke people to think differently about their culture and their place in society. Reed -is a master of collage and improvisation, with the ability to entertain his audience with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often misunderstood because satire and irony cannot be appreciated if the audience does not have the appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his satire is aimed at the status quo and sometimes his readers are offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined to describe his philosophy of accepting many truths. Reading one of Reed's novels like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow Back Radio Broke Down" is a challenge, but it helps one gain a sense of his perspective of black culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking as his books, poetry and essays. It will be presented February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating will be limited, so early arrival is recommended.

I hope doesn't seem to reflect in Bush's that politics in this country could statement "America's economy is be a bit less childish. However I the fastest growing of any major demand however that politicians industrialized nation." Perhaps to end sexism which includes the LGBT community. There is a growing resentment in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion on us, but now the debate against homosexuals is to make sure they are'denied the rights of any type of heterosexual union. I ask people all the time "Why do you care if they get married? Does it impact you personally? Would it affect your pocket book?" The answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this will tear apart the moral fabric of America. America, a country in which 1 in 3 women are raped, were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested, and where we send our children off to war on false premises. All of these immoral acts occurred on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking about that America. I was told by one man "I don't want to have to explain to my children why gays are allowed to marry " That could be a valid point, but consider this: 50 years ago about at least half of the U.S. citizens, most which were Anglos, were saying "I don't want to have to explain to my children why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been so blurred in this country. If the church refuses to marry these people in "Holy Matrimony," than the state should. Why does the church have so much power on a legal binding contract such as marriage? As far as I know though I could be wrong many gays do not intend to be part of this patriarchal Judeo-Christian institution. By not belonging to it however, they are denied family rights such as, family visitation, inheritance, and much much more. If I can ask anything of my fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the government. We kick them out for a good reason; do not let them dictate what is moral. Remember church and state are separate. "The Phantom Writer" shown us that you are concerned about your freedoms. But where have all of these demanding students gone? From all of the support at every rally, forum andprotests where are you when we need a solid organization to keep us going? For those of you who have held a sign at the Michael Moore rally for Freedom of Information, where are you when organizations for positive social change are struggling to pay for the tables, the banners and the sign that you held? Where is our support when we need just people to help us put on events, when we need members just to put on a fundraiser? The Progressive Activists Network (PAN) is working hard to bring support to those in need, to voice student concern and to keep ourselves running with new members. Our meetings are empty and our f unds are low. With all of the turnout at rallies, PAN is growing into a well known organization. But with only 4 people pulling all of the levers to make it work, we would like support not j ust at our events, but at our meet- ings, tabling and fundraising. For the 237 people who have signed onto our list serve, and the 227 people who have never come to a meeting or have asked how they can help, I call on you to help PAN grow. For the 400+ people who signed the letter to Karen Haynes, demanding an answer to her decisions, where are you as we continue to look for an answer? For the hundreds of people who have stopped at our events, forums, rallies and protests, I ask you to join us in our fight for academic freedom, a socially conscious campus, and maybe just an hour of your week.

Last week while looking for a parking spot, I realized that there were some open spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police and the University Village apartments. Without noticing the sign saying "UVA parking only," I parked in one of the many open spots in the lot. When I returned to my vehicle I found the $100 parking ticket and realized my mistake. Fine, my fault for not being observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine? As Patrick B. Long writes this week in his article about parking on campus, Parking Services is self-supporting, so I assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I learned that Parking Adjudication receives all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state. Hale also informed me that under state law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't b e used for parking improvements. Funds collected f rom parking tickets can be used to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding. Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Basically my $100 fine will go towards services I will never use. I j ust don't understand the rationale behind making students bear the cost of parking improvements and/or alternatives while receiving no relief. The price of parking remains the same as the availability of parking spaces goes down. Something is wrong. Last semester I could almost always find available parking on the pavement during peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard tinie finding parking outside of the dirt lot. Being that this is largely a commuter campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to not increase available, easily accessible paved student parking to accommodate the additional parking volume. I feel ripped off for having to pay $158 for a parking spot that either requires I park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get to class or show up to campus when the sun comes up. We, the students, pay the same amount of money and get less - it's just not right. If CSUSM accepts more students, there need to be adequate increases in services to assure the same availability and quality of the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

Is your dog in need of a makeover? Does your lifestyle rival Paris and Nicole's? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you could be the next wannabe celebrity in prime time. You no longer need a resume, acting classes, or even a temporary job working as a waiter in a chic Holly wood diner to make it in show biz. As long as you have a computer with internet access and an insatiable itch for fame, you are on your way to stardom. But how many more reality TV shows can they actually come up with?

Gorskys.com offers a variety of new and fresh ideas for reality TV shows that you're sure to get a kick out of. Some of these include: "Survive or you die!" - - Get a bunch of psychopaths onto a small deserted island, give them each a piece of dental floss, a teddy bear, and a piece of paper. Last one left alive gets declared legally sane. "Cani-brother" - - Put 10 people on a desert island and each week they decide who gets to be eaten. The one who survives wins. "DutchOven" - - Place 10 contestants iii a very small room and feed them eggs arid beans so they fart alot. They can pull out at anytime when it gets to be too much for them. The last one left in the room is the winner. As our nation's airways continue to be overwhelmed with a wide variety of lessthan-excellent programming, \yhat is a college student to do? Sit at home like a couch potato and watch other people eat bugs, get transformed by queer-eyes, and run around naked on islands, or should we strike while the iron is hot and get in on the action?

SIMON Pride Staff Writer You! Yes YOU, you filthy little philistine, you missed this: 'Creative Writing LTWR Faculty Dr. Mark Wallace Shares his Writing as a Part of his Campus Interview'. And so did I, the first 60 percent of it; snuck in like this man already had the job and I was already in his class and already afraid he'd be one of those 'on time or not at all' teachers. What he dropped, what I caught, what we might have shared had you been one of the hot chicks present (I could count them on one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle aged people, and middle aged people who weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his head up for second fractions, attempting eye contact but looking more like someone afraid of a yawn or rubber band preparing his assassination in the back row. Though variety was apparently present on the whole, in my 40 percent the work was, in a word, water collar: unpretentiously pretty presentation of real (existential) life questions—the other merging of white and blue being vapor collar, which uses poetry more to spit on rather than lick up the illiterate people who don't show up to these things. His capacity to teach CSUSM students about writing might be better assessed by the professor and student who juggled intangibles and h ypothetical with him before someone j ust had to ask, as he had dressed up, but in very safe blues, if poetry performance ever had brought him romance, if it still could for anyone else.

Nothing speaks of romance like trees and sun and sand so whisk your love to these fair spots Rejoice! » 'cause ain't love grand? The sky's the limit if you treat your sweetheart to a visit to Palomar Mountain. With over ten forested hiking trails, camping, fishing, and the nearby observatory, Palomar Mountain State Park may be the granddaddy of outdoor If your time at GSU Stair Master has resulted in buns of steel and lungs to match, then consider challenging your sweetheart with a hike at Escondido's Daley Ranch. If you're up to the steep trails— for foot or mountain bike—you'll b e rewarded with breathtaking views of the Escondido valley, along streams and rivers. historic Kumeyaay artifacts, and To reach Daley Ranch, take over 3,000 acres of unique South- Hwy. 78 east to Interstate 15 north, ern California foothill habitats: exit El Norte Parkway heading coastal sage scrub and chaparral, east four miles to La Honda and oak woodlands, grasslands, and follow the signs past the Dixon r iparian-the kind of habitat found Lake entrance. If your sweetheart is an early bird who enjoys a quiet morning of bass fishing, or you've always wanted that romantic experience involving a row boat and a book of sonnets, then Dixon Lake is the place for you. Picnic shelters, boat rentals, and camp sites will let you make a day, and a night, of it at this picturesque recreation area in Escondido. To reach Dixon Lake, take Hwy. 78 east to Interstate 15 north, exit El Norte Parkway heading east four miles to La Honda and follow the signs. recreation in North County. Trails, range from a half mile to over ten, and from easy to difficult, so take your Valentine for a day off the beaten path. If indoor activities are more to your liking, the Palomar Observatory offers a chance to glimpse the fascinating world of astronomy. There's a small grocery and restaurant on the mountain, so do yourself a favor by bringing your own romantic picnic lunch. To reach Palomar Mountain State Park, take Hwy. 78 east to Interstate 15 north, exit Hwy. 76 east to county road S6 north, then left on S7. The last seven miles are favored by motorcyclists with a need for speed, so watch out for t hem-and the law enforcement they a ttractespecially on weekends. stet A walk along the beach is always a romantic way to spend the afternoon, but if you'd rather experience the salty sea breeze without risking sand in your shoes, how about a stroll down the _ pier in Oceanside? At almost 2,000 feet, this is the longest pier on the west coast, so if her Manolo's are putting on the squeeze, there's a shuttle that will take you the length of the pier for a mere 50 cents. If you've got a little extra cash, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, but packing your own wine, cheese, and bread is decidedly more romantic. You'll pay if you want to park up close, but f ree lots are located j ust two blocks f rom the pier. To reach Oceanside pier, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 north, exit Mission Avenue heading west and follow the signs. If less concrete and more flora and fauna make your heart go pitter patter then you might head over to Carlsbad's Batiquitos Lagoon. Formed where fresh water and salt water meet and stirred up by wave and tidal action, coastal wetlands are a unique and dwindling resource for California wildlife, and the estuary at Batiquitos Lagoon is no exception. Batiquitos Lagoon provides habitat for 185 bird species, 65 fish species, and numerous native plants, so pack some sandwiches and a camera, tell your sweetheart to wear hiking boots, and see if you don't end up with a Kodak moment or two. To reach Batiquitos Lagoon, take Hwy. 78 west to Interstate 5 south, exit Poinsettia Lane heading east to Batiquitos Drive. Turn right on Gabbiano Lane to reach the Nature Center, otherwise Batiquitos Drive will take you past four other parking areas with trail access. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The CSUSM College Democrats along with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) and off-campus organization Veterans for Peace staged the memorial on Tuesday January 25. According to the Vice President of the College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what originally started out as the efforts of about four people grew as students from the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in to help set up the event.

Expressing her displeasure, student Kay Nguyen said the construction area, "Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything."

When asked to describe who belongs to Mensa, Catherine Barney, American Mensa Public Relations Manager, said there is no stereotypical Mensan. "Mensans are as diverse a group as you'll find anywhere. We have members ranging in age from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and profession," said Barney. "Our members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home moms." There are 52,000 American Mensa members, and 100,000 worldwide Mensans. Joining Mensa has gotten somewhat more difficult in recent years. Up until the mid-1990s, a high score on most standardized achievement exams like the SAT Statistically speaking there are at least 140 students at CSUSM who qualify as geniuses~at least as far as their IQ is concerned. If you're a campus smartypants—or think you might be~ there's a national organization that wants you: American Mensa, the High IQ Society. Benefits of Mensa membership include a monthly magazine, opportunities to meet and mingle with other brainiacs at Annual Gatherings and Mind Games tournaments, and the ability to add the ultimate icebreaker to your resume or grad school applications: "Mensa Member." Joining American Mensa also automatically qualifies you for membership in a local chapter of your choice, like the San Diego Mensa chapter.

HawaiianAiriines.com H AWAIIAN — -»mimes.-— �THE PRIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman "Enjoyed the Letter to the editor, but don't they have to sign them?" r Sally Jo Divis tagged me with this Q concerning last week's issue» The best part was the title of her email, "The Phantom Writer." We could use it for a movie. A mysterious student sends in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be. As the campus becomes all engrossed with the identity of this 'masked' person, we see the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18 and under: the ancestor to MS Word.) We could film them as a series, maybe stopping at "Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery of the Large Clock of Academic H all" (hint, hint) Well it'd be nice, but I gotta kill my hypothetical by ending the mystery. Our "Phantom Writer" goes by the name Felipe Zanartu. The editing team goofed and kinda sorta missed the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name had been c ut I usually take their words under suspicion, but I think we can chalk this one up to an honest boo-boo. The policy in bold on page two of this puppy is still in force. The Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering that may have occurred as a result of this incident I would suggest a doctor to take care of the matter, perhaps one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick skills and aid of Jason Encabo had a pic of a binder with M.D. on it next to an apple. I've been informed that we readers were to make the connection of Med Doc and apple to translate into an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that program. (Whisper Mode On: 'Yo Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put a stick on your tongue aren't the only ones around. Those people in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too. Just thought you should know.) Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a doctor?" And above that Q was a pic of a busted window with yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another connection we should make? Hmmmm. What I realty dug was that Mr. Milo wrote in his article of "Broken glass" that there were "no suspects for the crime," then quotes Officer Hernandez saying the broken glass likely resulted from "horseplay" and not "vandalism." (Whisper mode on again: 'Yo Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime. Just thought you should know.) Somewhere on campus a person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em. A.P.B.: The suspect is a college student, between the ages of 18 and 25. Please contact the F.B.I. if you've seen this person. The suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr. Schramm's article "When the Johhny Carson BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's Johnny!" is a signature phrase for none other than the undisputed King of Late Night talk show, Johnny Carson, who passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2005. He died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years. On October 1, 1962, Carson was introduced as the new host for the "The Tonight Show" on the NBC network. For the next three decades, his monologues and jokes turned him into an American icon as well as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an Emmy award seven times (1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991) winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a civilian. Not only being one of the highest paid entertainers during his time, at one point he generated 17 percent of NBC's profit. Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show, over the years, Carson developed skits that added to the routine and which fans expected to see. For example, if the audience didn'tfinda particular joke funny, Carson would either have a microphone lowered to him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing while the band played "Tea for Two." And of course, he ended every night with a golf swing with an imaginary club. Through his own hardships, such as three bitter divorces and his son killed in a road accident, he has still managed to keep others laughing. Many well known comedians got their start from his show. Comedians such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, Steve Martin, among others all credit Carson for his generosity and expertise. Robin Williams and Bette Midler were his final guests. Midler sang "One More For My Baby" which caused Carson to shed a tear. Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor of Carson, the network went with Leno. On January 24, "The Tonight Show" aired a tribute episode to Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Drew Carey expressed feelings towards their mentor. Dome won't do." A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that was more than compensation for the misleading Doc illustration he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my personal favorite chow-down spot, but I'll not advertise in this column. (Sandcrab goodi) And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student body was already frequenting. When you think about it, it'd be like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race Track. But we gotta break these new writers in somehow, so bear with the regurgitated themes for now. We'll get better. Of course, that also refers to Zach Simon's subtle opinion that books cost too damn much (a revelation), Patrick Long informing us that there exists a gym in the Field House (another revelation), and Brian Reichert's emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul (and those revelations just keep coming). Brian "had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile" and apparently liked it well enough despite Felipe Zanartu's (the Phantom Writer) observation that "the USD in Chile has lost 22 percent of its value." And like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become a doctor?" we had Brian's travel ad atop Felipe's dire currency conversion rate. I'm tossin' my hands up, I'm so confused... I'm looking like the picture of Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not the looking like a hotty factor, but we're sharing the same expression that communicates a sense of confusion. The one you make when barking spiders arrive in a crowded room and you just gotta whiff. Phoenix is now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the f uture (About the job Phoenix, my condolences.)

A Regal dupe BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Tuesday morning I woke up early, eagerly anticipating the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees. Most of the picks were quite predictable and fortunately I had spent the last couple of months trying to catch a film here or there so I could be ready to root for my favorites on Oscar night. I realized though, that many of the top contenders have never even played in this area, so I signed on to Sign On San Diego to try and track them down. Much to my dismay, I found out that if I wanted to see "Being Julia," Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I would have to trek down to Horton Plaza, and if I wanted to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to Poway or Temecula. "A Very Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in the Gaslamp. I have to question why all three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos mostly play the same movies. I remember that when the Signature Theatre was built in Escondido they promised that they would reserve one of the theatres to play "art" films. Since the Regal whale swallowed up the Signature, it has merely become a clone of the San Marcos Theatre. Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out of the mold and show something different, but no, they offer the same homogenized fare as the Regal. It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have to brave the 1-15 in order to see a film that might be out of the ordinary. The theatres around town need to wake up and realize that they need to offer a wider variety and acknowledge that people in San Marcos deserve to see these films on the big screen and not be forced to wait until they come out on DVD. �6 Tuesday, February 12005 O P I N I O N THE PRIDE Into uncertainty BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer At the tender age of 18, some people reading this would come to question my ability to read the culture of my generation and also the "experience" that I have in it. But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize things in a new light after these 18 years on this planet. It seems to me that everyone is trying to reach a goal - however these people, me included, don't seem to have the slightest idea of what that goal is. Some of my friends are so set in their ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they will be making makes me question what I really want. I have no clue of what I would like to do in the future and I don't know how I'm going to get there, it is just one of the many wonders in life that I like to call growing up. But these days my generation has procured a certain inamiable sense of life. Everyone just expects to procure this vast quantity of wealth and a consump- Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service tion of knowledge in what seems to be an instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so confused about my life that I can't seem to pull myself into one direction? Or could it be that the countless masses in college right now are thinking the same thing, and are just to obscure and frightened to reveal to themselves, that their assiduous effort has gotten them absolutely nowhere. These people are all around us and I say welcome.. .welcome to what I have just learned to be the first steps out of your childhood realm where everything just fell into place. Now I see that it is not me that plans things, it is the actions of everyone that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life that can make the most dull person, such as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

The things that I have taken for granted all these years are now gone and despite the fact that I am so young I find myself clinging to what is left of my once ecstatic childhood. I know that the things that have come and gone are that of the past but something tells me there is more to life than what we see. I think that life is a culmination of moments that I get too lost in to figure o ut I think the best quote about my generations' life would be by Simon and Garfunkel, "Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where," from the song "The Only Living Boy in New York." I know for a fact that I don't know what I am doing to better my life half of the time and it seems that everything has just been bunched up into a little irrelevant ball. These times reflect the exact moments when I feel that I am just doing something because society says it is the thing that has to be done. But if this is true then why am I making the final decisions, and my intuition and common sense lead me to view the finale of my life. But this is how life is and I have to accept it just like all my peers have to accept the fact that it may be tedious and tiring but someday, just maybe we will find that childhood again and cherish what is left of it for the rest of our lives.

It will be a tight race year's best movies. Academy Award nom- between "The Aviator," "Sideways," and inations were announced Tuesday, and as "Million Dollar Baby." always, there were some surprises. In the Best Director category, it will This year, the Academy shied away from come down to Clint Eastwood for "Milhonoring controversial films, like Mel lion Dollar Baby" and Martin Scorsese for Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Aviator." If the Academy decides to Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11." Both be sentimental, then Scorsese, who's never films were said to have a chance at Best won an Oscar, could be rewarded for his Picture, yet both were shut out. Instead, entire body of work. the Academy stuck with typical OscarThe most popular man on the red carpet bait, like the smaller, critically-acclaimed this year is sure to be Jamie Foxx, whose "Sideways," the last-minute contender double-nominations for "Ray" and "Collat"Million Dollar Baby," the ambitious bio- eral" proves that even if you once starred pic "Ray," the epic "The Aviator," and the in a movie called "Booty Call," you can family-friendly "Finding Neverland." still be nominated for Hollywood's most If the number of nominations means prestigious award. Photos courtesy of The Academy of Motion Picture A rts and Sciences The other nominees in this category were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for "Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination for Best Supporting Actress, will give the hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in the Best Actor category is the closest thing this year's race has to a lock. The Best Actress category will once again come down to Swank vs. Bening. In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet again, but Bening's performance as an actress looking to revamp her career in "Being Julia" could hit closer to home for Academy voters. There are no clear frontrunners in either of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas Haden Church the statue, or "Closer" newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the Academy typically bestows the statue on a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie Portman's chances are good. However, the Academy could decide to shake things up this year, so don't count out Virginia Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney for "Kinsey." The 77th Annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples.

Under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian i i \ �The "Hotel" you must check into BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer Sometimes movies make you laugh, sometimes they make you cry, but very rarely do they open your eyes and force you to look at the world differently. Hotel Rwanda is a movie that will change your life. It takes place in Kigali the capital city of Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi that killed one million people in 100 days. These two groups had a long history of conflict which came to a climax in 1994, when Hutu extremists attempted genocide of the Tutsi people. This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples lives. It is an excellent record of a history that is unknown to most. Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo) and their three children are the most important thing in his life, and they're Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to protect his family from harm, making this a wonderful story about love and family as well. When the President is assassinated, the Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack- Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM) ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates with them. As Tutsi are taken from their homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family and friends run to his house for protection, he is the only Hutu they trust. Paul's friends and family are taken by the Hutu and are not murdered because Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount of money, which he has to get from the Hotel Mille Collines where he works and has access to a lot of money. The hotel was safe and was protected by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel manager leaves, Paul is given control of the entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends away where they will be safe for a while. When the foreign hotel guests are given a military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left with an unprotected hotel. Paul uses connections he's made through his job to keep the hotel and his family safe. One of these connections is Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very useful to Paul and does what he can to keep the hotel secure with limited resources. However it is a constant struggle for Paul to remain in control of the hotel and keep his guests safe as more and more refugees show up. As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something incredible that most people would not have the courage to do. He is a hero and because^ of him 1268 lives were saved. This movie is amazing. It reminds you that even in the ugliest situations beautiful things can come out of people. It is heart! warming to know that one person can take a stand and make a difference. The struggle between the Hutu and Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the world. Anyone with a heart will watch this film and ask themselves WHY? Why wasn't anything done to help the situation? Why was the attempted genocide of an entire culture ignored by the world? 5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Back in the latter half of the 90s—a decade that tried to claim immortality by refusing to take a single title-under the roman- Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video tic dawn of new innovations in film effects, there occurred a brief, yet expectedly passionate affair between America's futurist action blockbuster and France's surrealist romance, captured by MTV and Vogue's self conscious voyeur isms. "The Fifth Element" has just been re-released with two hours of extras for the geeks' library/ shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version for those who need new lotion for the self-pleasure of a bigger screen (guess which one I'm holding.) Remembering that I'd liked this pearl pill in the bed of oyster phlegm, I wish now that I'd been there in the theater and there on the DVD team. The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually watched the whole thing when I'd planned to do a recap before diving into the extras. Not as many professional actors with amateur lines, but there are some close calls, some action with too much slapstick, some romance with too much action, but it stands out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a future world must be remade as well as expanded, and that an B+ prop still caries more emotion than an A- digital image. Switching off widescreen would have shorthanded this film, but omitting the option is a bit underhanded, as was the potentially more valuable 'fact track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia everyfiveseconds, then every 15, then every minute, then every 15 minutes. It would seem someone either didn't understand ration- ing, or got lazy, as interesting facts became more often replaced by banal observations and yeahsayings. The extras disc cleverly divides its main features into the 'visual element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the typical photojournalism dropout equipped with oyer-enthusiasm and bad jokes. We learn that the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing opera is even harder as a reluctant alien. Film tests might just seem a way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects of filmmaking could as easily spoil the magic for some people as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener- ate interest for the moviegoer can also counteract buyer's remorse in the DVD addict. Buy the movie, great for a crowd of mixed tastes: violence but little gore, randiness but little vulgarity (there's two brief shots of the heroine's breasts but they got to keep the PG-13 rating, which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.) Rent the special edition to make sure you find the info really gives you a lasting illusion of being closer to the professionals. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

First doctorate offered at CSUSM BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education. The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University. The program focuses on advanced training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions. "The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each student designs a research study and during the initial two years of the program as part of the required coursework. We have designed the program to maximize the time the students have to study and engage in class work, as well as complete the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the students' ability to complete the disser- Photo illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral program for CSUSM. There are 18 students in the first cohort of the program. "With the inception of this program, Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for the K-12 students in our region. This program will enable the candidates to translate the best theory into practice. It reflects our on-going commitment to the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen Haynes. Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. "This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission. Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this program. I look forward to seeing the contributions these doctoral students make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath. The Black Student Union (BSU) along with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture Series, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Student and Residential Life (SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are kicking off Black History Month early with an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled "Introduction to Black History Month," in Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m.. In total there are eight events planned by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The number of events this year is up from the five events held on campus last February. The President of the BSU Onyinyeh "Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an "increase in membership (in the BSU)... not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other." Udeh expressed her goal of getting African-American students," to come together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it would really make a great impact on our fellow achievers (students)." "The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy themselves. I would like them to come out and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh. Although the Black Student Union is the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh expressed gratitude towards and gave credit to the cosponsors of the event saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai, the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, SRL .... all have really given the BSU so much support and encouragement during all the planning of these events. They have really contributed a whole lot to make sure everything runs smoothly. Without these other organizations I don't know how the BSU could have done it."

Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH) determines the yearly theme for Black History Month. This year's theme is the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of the Niagara Movement. According to the Journal of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded by civil rights activist W.E.B DuBois in 1905 in Niagara Falls, Canada with the goals of winning voting rights for WANTED African Americans, ending school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism and prejudice. The movement failed to win widespread support from blacks although many of its ideas were later adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) when it was founded in 1909. In 1910 the Niagara Movement officially disbanded. For more information about upcoming campus events read the Pride.

The weight room is filled with modern equipment from free weights to cardio equipment. The workout areas offer not only an up-to-date weight room but also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by the Associated Student Union. Classes are offered to students on many topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and wellness programs for students, faculty and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added that she would be interested to hear from students and staff on their desire for any particular health or wellness topic for a class. These well developed classes are designed to aid students in their college life and beyond. The Field House is hosting a Wellness Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from 11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors, health resources, food and massage tables. Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers. Also worthwhile is the availability of spaces set aside for students to hold meetings or gatherings. According to the campus website, the Field House offers plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets. The meeting rooms can be utilized by any group or organization, with students having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a great place to hold meeting for clubs and organizations.

There really is too much empathy within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my soap box, but the dirt has already worked itself in between my teeth. "They publish a new edition even when they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or cd supplement that you never use but that greatly affects price and re-sale." These sentiments don't fester out from only myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the front of the buy-back line; they come from the proprietor of our local off-campus bookstore. What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that you are to blame. No, not the publishers, not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just because it was closer is faster is 'easier'. Actually, there's a very good chance that you had to park down in the dirt, in which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography and topography. So you, try saying this out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or other protective eyewear first. And even if you did spit it on the man by completely circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which you know would be much sexier if they'd trim it down to only the chapters you'll read, and even cheaper to photocopy if purged of everything you won't remember after the class. I bet you also didn't ask your professor to do more than sigh and shake their heads at how expensive and under-funded the worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that doesn't make these books any cheaper. Make sure they tell you where to get these books at cheaper used prices. Make sure they say it's okay to not have your book till a few weeks into the class and in the meantime borrow it from someone else or lean against a dark corner in the book- store. Don't photocopy it, that would be as unethical as price gouging, and that might get you in trouble if anyone from the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines. Most of all, talk to your class to make the class make the professor promise not to use any new editions for the next four years. This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who want to use contraception, this is just how many keeper books you could buy with the price of one you're hoping to return. This is a PC upgrade that will be offered free in another month, this is medicine that hopes to addict you. If you bought a book at campus/full Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling BY BRIAN REICHERT Pride Staff Writer Why not challenge yourself by studying abroad in a different country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few applications and getting personal recommendations. After that, you can choose to study in such countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France. Each year, there are more student foreign exchanges opening up in all parts of the world. Studying Abroad with California State has many other advantages as well. Not only does your home campus offer more support than any other system, but it's very affordable as well. A potential student only has to pay Cal State tuition and all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to all expenses. Also, this is the only program that lasts two straight semesters, so students really have a chance to get acquainted with a different culture. Jan Stockey has the title of the Cal State San Marcos Study Abroad Coordinator, here on campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing important international information, and overall recruitment for future programs. In a recent interview she stated "Most of the students tell me it's the best decision they've ever made." After an informative conversation with the coordinator who greets everyone with a warm smile, she concluded saying that "students always come back and they have wonderful stories of Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride price then return it, now. If you think you can look your professor in the eye ask them if they benefit in any way from the sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not at all and think back to those days when the whole class got together and took that walk, somewhere between a field trip and a bathroom break, to get their textbooks from the library. Buy it used or not at all, or become a ranting English major who has that luxury every semester. And even if someone else is paying for them, especially if someone else is paying for them, the least you can do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook. the places they've seen, the great friendships they've made, and how much they've learned about themselves. Believe it or not, these are not marketing lines; this is the actual feedback that students give me every year. I have also had the chance to study abroad through Cal State San Marcos. I can definitely say that the whole experience changed my life entirely. I had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling capital is located right next to the Andes Mountains and I had the chance to both live and learn in a culture which is definitely modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at least once in your college career. You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and many international friends. A fter all, it's easier than you think and you never know about something until you experience it for yourselves.

After traveling abroad I have found that debt. A few years ago the dollar is increasingly Argentina one of the most powerful nations in South loosing its value. I have noted that the USD in Chile America, at that time lost has lost 22% of its value its entire economy, because the country went bankrupt. since October 2002, the trade deficit is growing at This occurred when they a dangerous rate, and the kept borrowing money thinking and trusting that national debt is around all 1 world countries would keep loaning them money. Finally at one point the bubble burst. I don't want this to happen to us. It's becoming scary that people are losing their confidence in the dollar. President Bush constantly says he "doesn't want to push problems to future presidents or the future generations," but what we don't realize is that many times, he is creating more problems than solutions. Last week we saw a set of extravagant victory parties for the elected President. I'm not saying that this president doesn't deserve an inauguration, but 50 million is a lot of money. According to Timothy Dwyer, Washington Post Staff Writer, "The inauguration is expected st to be one of the most expensive in history." They report that the cost to us tax payers for the 3 days of events will top 50 million. I think this a bit outrageous especially since we are in "war time." The last inauguration (2001) cost 40 million which is 25% more expensive that the inauguration in 1997. So during the next few years I want all of you to be skeptical of what Bush is trying to do for the country. Especially the fiscal conservatives on this campus, ask your self, is every thing this president done worth it? Has he eliminated terrorist activity or spawned a new breeding for extremist Muslims wanting to join Al-Queda? Is taking a go it alone policy going to help us in the so-called "War on Terror"? In every solution there are always positives and negatives, but this administration seems to really dismiss the negatives very quickly. Keep asking all politicians their plans, left and right. Ask them: Is this a solution, or does it just create a lot more problems? I personally feel many actions by this government will not be beneficial to us now, tomorrow, and in the future. But it takes more than just the opposition party tofixthe problem. We the people mustriseup and demand accountability or threaten these elected officials with their jobs in 2006. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 25 2005 i| %a mm P M WORK WHILE YOU ATTEND COLLEGE GROW WITHIN THE COMPANY Starting Pay $8.50/HR $9.00/HR after 90 days Excellent Pay Excellent Benefits Medical, Dental, Vision, Paid Holidays/Vacation Excellent Hours M onday- Friday WEEKENDS OFF!

Photos courtesy of Rogue Pictures BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Assault on Precinct 13" is a clash between a cop thriller, a morality tale and occasional humor. These genres work well together and the film gives them their moments. But it also employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call "The Rio Bravo Syndrome." You'll know why in a minute. Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A stormy New Years Eve leaves two cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus transfer is delayed by a highway accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one of the prisoners is a notorious cop killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a small army tries to invade the station supposedly to free the cop killer. The cops and the prisoners team up to defend the station and deal with traitors among them. See, almost identical to the plot of "Rio Bravo." The two cops are Jake Roenick > California Pre-Doctoral Program offers fully-funded internships, sponsorships to symposiums, and application/test fee waivers?

(Ethan Hawke), a former undercover cop where his command left two of two partners dead (he now drinks and takes pills to easy his pain) and Jasper O'Shea (Brian Dennehy), a veteran on the verge of retirement. The secretary, Iris Ferry (Drea de Matteo), has a turn on for "bad ass" guys. The cop killer is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), who always has a quick cool about everything. The other prisoners are Beck (John Leguizamo), a babbling drug addict, Smiley (JaRule), a street counterfeiter and Anna (Aisha Hinds), a criminal proclaiming her innocence. Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) is the intelligent and ruthless leader of "The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios" the small army. French director Jean-François Richet, in his American film debut, knows how to use his characters. No one takes more screen time than they need to. Byrne can play any bad guy to its best, its all in his eyes. Fishburne can carry any film with just his presence. Hawke is no John Wayne, but playing the idealistic honorable cop once again (Training Day), isn't cliché or boring, just assured that he can do it and do it well. After seeing thisfilmand other recent cop films, such as "Narc," "Training Day" and "Dark Blue," the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the realism of being a cop. They are out of shape, have families that worry, struggle to pay the bills, cope with alcohol and risk their lives. For that, I am grateful.

While some students simply stick to the school cafeteria, many other options also abound and there is actually a wide range of great eateries in close proximity to campus. The first and closest restaurant you need to know about is Mr. Taco. Just a quickfiveto ten minute walk across the street, Mr. Taco is a must not only for its reasonable prices but also the fact that you do not have to lose a great parking space to go eat there. Most anything that falls in the A little further down the road on Twin Oaks Valley Road and just past the entrance for the Highway 78 is the Old Spaghetti Factory.

The private booths that are prevalent at the Old Spaghetti Factory are excellent for small groups of friends, or even a little campus romance. Whether a simple meal is what you crave, or appetizers, salad, and desert as well, the Spa- Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride ghetti Factory is a good choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially boast its wide range of pastas. As waiter and Cai State San Marcos senior Tom Watson notes, "everybody loves our spumoni and you can't buy it in stores!" If you don't mind a little drive, a whole host of notable restaurants can be found one exit west on the 78, off San Marcos Boulevard. The San Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to visit. Although the number of dishes available may not be as extensive as the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery does offer a range of styles of food, including everything from hamburg- ers to pasta to salad and even seafood. Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos Brewery does offer one thing other places near campus don't-their own beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal Stout, which is a terrific dark beer and must for connoisseur on campus. Still, if something a little stronger is desired after a tough day of classes there are two small pubs across the street, Penny Lane and Churchill's, which are also worth a visit. Also on "restaurant row," and a good choice for lunch, is Submarina. A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices usually in the $5-$10 range. "The quality of our food is top notch," notes Kenda Evans who shares ownership with her husband. Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food, high grade meats, and large portions. Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs. And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice atmosphere inside, as does the quick and friendly service. Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they are all definitely worth a visit. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Assistant Chief Woodard assumes interim role until replacement is hired Group projects are only as good as the person doing all the work. PowerPoint presentations alone do not substitute for real teaching. BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer In a move that surprised some, University Police Chief Tom Schultheis retired on December 30 ending his successful yet recently controversial reign as the top cop on campus. Assistant Chief Aaron Woodard was named interim chief until a replacement for Schultheis is hired in the spring. Schultheis had been with the now 15 officer department since 1998 and has overseen its operations during a time of substantial growth for the university. Schultheis was unavailable for comment at press time. Despite his accomplishments as chief, Schultheis leaves a legacy that was marred by the recent Always display your parking permit. Sit next to the most attractive person in class, he or she might be single. Question bureaucracy. Former CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis allegations of racial profiling by his department prompted by the arrest of student Jason Williams last semester on October 20. While those allegations have yet to be substantiated, the department responded with a series of forums at the end of last semester that outlined the practices of the officers. Interim Chief Woodard plans to continue reaching out to the campus community with a series of initiatives designed to keep the policing process in the forefront "People don't know about our department," said Woodard. "By See SCHULTHEIS, page 2 If the university doesn't let you do what you want, organize a protest.

I eventually figured out how to tell one non-descript, beige hallway from the others, and eventually you will too. In the meantime, here are a few pointers to help smooth your transition to CSUSM.

Among the programs Woodard hopes will accomplish a better understanding of the role of the police officer on a college campus is Student Community Oriented Policing Effort (SCOPE). The SCOPE program will give insight to the students and the community into policing so as to dispel the "us vs. them" perception often associated with law enforcement. Other community based programs include bicycle licensing and Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) courses held periodically throughout the semester. CSUSM Interim Police Chief Aaron Woodard Beginning today January 18 and running through March 31, the Kellogg Library will be showcasing an installation entitled, "Commodore Perry and the Westernization of Japan." The exhibit features photographs and cartoons documenting foreign settlers in Yokohama, Japan during the 1860s. Mounted on beige partitions, works from famous photographer Felix Beato and cartoonist/journalist Charles Wirgman illustrate the wide disparity S J JDUSËJ^«^ EB mm'm~w"mw between old traditions and newly adopted western practices. On February 10 at 5 p.m. the library will host an opening reception for the installation. "Commodore Perry and the Westernization of Japan" is part of the "Context" library series. The goal of "Context" is to, "fuel exciting research possibilities and take students beyond the classroom, immersing them iii academic literature, scientific studies and cultural critiques— the Context of the world around them," according to the Kellogg Library website.

My anxiety was at an all time high. The dental assistant came to take my X-rays and she must've sensed my apprehension because she kept asking me if I was o.k. I wasn't, but what can you say with those weird paper things in your mouth and a five pound lead bib across your chest. A half an hour later, the doctor came in. To my chagrin, my new dentist is a very handsome young man, Perfect, just what I need, a nice young gentleman poking around my well-rested mouth. But he was very kind and forgiving for my decision to take a break from dental care. He poked around my mouth, testing my gums for disease and apologized when his instrument made them bleed. The only thing I could look at was the ceiling while he picked at my sensitive gums. After the poking and picking was over, the dentist wiped the spit off my face ever so gently with a soft cotton swab and moved my chair to its upright position. Face to face with my charming new dentist, he informed me that my gums where in very bad shape, but can be fixed. A deep periodontal (gum) cleaning was necessary before he began working on the numerous cavities that needed to be filled and the root canal that needed to be^ well, canaled. Finally he would replace all of my current silver amalgam fillings with new clear cementfillingthat will last longer and look much better. He looked me in the eye after all of this and asked, "Are you O K? Did I go too fast?" Oh sweet doctor did you ever. I stumbled trying to find the right words to describe how I felt at that very moment. I knew I had neglected my teeth, I knew it was not normal to feel pain when eating or drinking.. But my fear of dentistry outweighed my rationality. I took a deep breathr and said, "I'm fine." I looked away from his adorable brown eyes to keep some of my dignity intact. He informed me that my mouth can be mended, I might lose a tooth, but it was only a tooth. I nodded in agreement feeling my face flush as he looked at the shame in my face. We set up two more appointments to clean my gums; we said our good-byes and parted ways. I tried to walk out the office with my head held high, I was embarrassed and relieved. I have a long way to go until my resolution is complete, and hopefully, my newfound respect for the dental industry will prevent me from needing another leave of absence from that dreaded chair.

From the co-director of "About a Boy," Paul Weitz, comes a comedic drama that reveals a story of two men greatly different in age together adjusting to changes in their lives. In thefilm,Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) and his much younger newly appointed boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), find a common ground of understanding each other's lives through interesting experiences in and out of the workplace. As Duryea admires the idealistic family ties of Foreman, he finds affection in Foreman's daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). This film can be equally appreciated for its comedic, as well as its dramatic aspects, leaving you with plenty, moments to laugh and cry. Topher Grace does a wonderful job of playing a young hot-shot finding his place in both work and his life. Grace's charisma is complemented by the subtly and veteran acting expertise of Dennis Quaid. And let's not forget the greatly talented and ciassy Scarlett Johansson, who plays key role in presenting the heartfelt side of the film's story. "In Good Company" entertainingly displays the story of 'finding your place in life' that I think we all can in one way or another relate to. Watch this film, you won't be disappointed.

According to Schultheis, the forms were to be kept at the station due to the sensitive nature of the complaint process. However, when Copwatch and San Diego community member, Janice Jordan stated that complaint forms were available at Social Service Agencies and therefore should be available on campus, Schultheis restated his words to say that the forms will also be available on campus.

The complaint forms previously provided by the Student Affairs office were from San Diego State University, according to Dean of Students, Jonathon Poullard. Unfortunately, they were not the same as the Citizen Complaint forms provided by the Cal State San Marcos' University Police. Located on the bottom of the citizen complaint form from University Campus Police there is a place for the complainant's signature below a warning which states, "It is against the law to make a complaint that you know to be false.

In addition to being the most coveted study space on campus, the room will host special readings, important library and university gatherings, and performances by string quartets and other artists." Students had mixed reactions when asked about the Reading room. "It'd be nice to have a place with couches to study," said freshman Francisco Quiroz. Upcoming Whiteness forum BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer "What is Whiteness?" is the potentially provocative topic of an interactive forum being held in Commons 206 on Thursday, December 9, from 11:30amlpm. Dr. Dreama Moon and students from her Comm. 450D class will stimulate thinking about white culture and what it means to be white through interactive activities designed to encourage attendee participation. "We want to provide an educational opportunity for people to think critically about whiteness and white identity in the U.S. context. In most discussions of race and racism, the notion of whiteness is noticeably absent. We believe that if we as a society are to eliminate racism and achieve social justice, then whites must j oin the conversation on race. This forum is designed to spark ideas about how one might do so," said Moon. "I haven't noticed the reading room," said Ryan Russell, a sophomore who often studies in the library. Adjacent to the Reading Room is a large outdoor balcony which is also currently o£f-limits. When asked if the balcony next to the Reading Room would be open for students, Stakes said, "I doubt that the balcony will be open during the day, it would probably be open during special events in the room." The balcony will also be furnished with donations. In addition to the balcony on the fifth floor there is a balcony on the second floor next to the open computer lab. Students are prevented from going out into that balcony by a sign that says "No Public Access." When asked, some students voiced concerns about not being able to use the balconies. "It's better to be outside," Quiroz said. "Students should be able to use the balconies. It'd be kinda cool to look out over stuff," said Russell. Stakes stated that the balcony will not be opened to students "Due to security concerns and risk management issues there are no plans to open the second floor balcony to the public at this time. Smoking on the balcony would be prohibited anyway under CSU regulations," replied Stakes when asked why students are not permitted to use the balcony to get fresh air or to smoke. CSU regulations state that smoking is not permitted within 15 feet of any building. The security reasons cited pertain to book theft and other similar concerns. There are also three instructional labs in the library which are unavailable for general use by students. Like the other instructional computing labs on campus, Tuesday, December 7 2004 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The balcony (above) and Reading Room (left) on the library fifth floor. these labs are to be used by instructors for classroom teaching and library research instruction. They can be reserved for use by instructors. "The labs are used for both instruction of students in how to use the library, and Photo by Daniel Lowe / The Pride for conducting workshops for library faculty and staff. In the f uture they could be used for other university training," said Stakes. More information about the library can be found at http://library.csusm.edu/ about/.

Information was presented about current projects the university police are implementing including Rape Aggression Defense (RAD), Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS), Homeland Security Projects, the Emergency Operations Center and the California State University Critical Response Unit. The presentation included the departments many policies and procedures for filing a compliant against an officer and requesting information on certain events and citations. Facts about the four types of crime, crime prevention, safety and emergency tips were also given. Data about campus police reports and the number of arrests made by campus Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard police was displayed. These statistics showed that the number of police reports had nearly tripled since 1999. In 1999 there were 157 police reports filed and this number jumped to 467 in the current incomplete year o f2004. A fter the presentation sociology Professor Edwardo Portillos moderated a question and answer session where the main issue raised was racial profiling. Many in the audience, which included students and faculty, expressed their concern about the subject, due to recent events. "When I approach the driver I j ust pulled over for a traffic violation, my concern is my safety and my officer's safety, because you don't know who the person is, if they're stable or not and/or what they have in their car. I had a partner who pulled over a driver at two in the morning and he got shot," said Woodard. "I absolutely do not tolerate racial profiling. I discourage the practice among my staff," said Schultheis. "Once an arrest has been made, what is the university's role in deciding to charge a crime?" asked Professor Anne Lombard. "It's the police officer at the scene's decision whether to charge the case as a felony if it can be proved. However the DA can then decide whether to drop the felony to a misdemeanor," responded Schultheis. A fter the forum had concluded, Lombard said she felt surprised that university officials would not become more actively involved after the arrest of a residential student in deciding whether to charge him/her with a felony. "If I were a parent of a child at a residential college, I would probably expect a dean or some comparable person, other than an inexperienced campus security officer, to PC SD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed?

On Thursday December, 2 at 3 p.m. the second forum was held at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. The same three members of the CSUSM Police Force attended the forum. Schultheis said the primary goal of the forums was to produce "awareness of who we are and what we do." A fter the introduction of the officers, Chief Schultheis led an approximately 25 minute PowerPoint presentation discussing the CSUSM Campus Police which closely followed the presentation given at the previous forum. In this presentation he supplied information regarding the perimeter of the department's jurisdiction, the demographics of the CSUSM Campus Police Force and the training that police officers must undergo to obtain position on the CSUSM Campus Police Force. To end his presentation Schultheis displayed statistics about police reports and arrests f rom years 1999-2004. Woodard referred to the statistics as "skewed" due to the fact that the statistics also displayed arrests and reports that had occurred outside of campus. A fter the presentation another question and answer forum was mediated by Professor Portillos. The discussion was opened up by Fil Knoff, President and CEO of a San Diego marketing company. Mr. Knoff and his wife reside two blocks from CSUSM, on Rush Drive. The couple told the story of how their mid-30's, lawyer son was pulled over by Campus police on Twin Oaks Valley Road. They said the officer's reason for the stop was the placement of Mr. K noffs son's temporary registration permit on his vehicle. They said the officer who made the stop proceeded to take Mr. K noffs son's wallet, questioned him, patted him down, and made him take a sobriety test. The pair claimed that Mr. Knoff ended up coming down to the scene before the officer released their son, but without returning his wallet. Mr. and Mrs. Knoff were thanked for coming forward and then invited to file a formal complaint. Several students and other San Marcos residents came forward to express similar instances they felt constituted a pattern of police harassment. One San Marcos resident told a story of how he was arrested and his car was impounded for an expired registration. "Give me a call and I'd like to look into it," responded Schultheis. Sociology Professor Sharon Elise and a female dorm resident expressed their concern for the scrutiny that dorm residents were feeling from Campus Police. Elise also expressed concern over citations given to drivers at the crosswalks of CSUSM. These concerns were responded to with what appeared to be the popular response for the session, "we'll look into it." Once again audience members voiced concerns about racial profiling. Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard expressed his interest in this question and passionately assured the audience that he himself, an African-American, would not allow racial profiling on his police force. " I've been black a lot longer then I have been blue and I am sensitive to discrimination issues," said Woodard. The event concluded by all three officers expressing interest in having annual police forums in the f uture, and encouraging the community to participate in upcoming forums.

Closed Shops online: www.csusmbookstore.com �VARIETY THE PRIDE Make your own T-shirt STORY AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Make your own Vintage T-shirt Retro is cool. Vintage T-shirts are in. Statement tees are all over the place. They indicate a rich personal history and a spirit of authenticity. But really, how authentic are they? How many of you are wearing that "Beaver Lake Lacrosse" T-shirt, but have never played lacrosse and never even heard of Beaver Lake? How many of you have seen that "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" T-shirt and thought you could make up something funnier? Rather than pay $15-$25 for a T-shirt that you could probably make yourself, try and go for it. Make it yourself. With an ink jet printer, a plain T-shirt and a sheet of T-shirt transfer paper, you can make your own vintage looking T-shirt for a lot less than the ones found in stores. Whe£ someone asks you, "Where did you get that T-shirt," you can tell him or her, "I made it myself." Here's how to do it. Materials: The first thing you need to do is get the right materials. Locate an ink jet printer. If you don't own one yourself, ask a friend to borrow theirs. Next you'll need a Tshirt. Depending on what style you like, you can get them in a number of places. Ringer tees look the best for vintage Tshirts but plain T-shirts can look good also. Footloqjcer sells 5 plain T-shirts for $20. Go to Staples or any office supply store in the paper section for T-shirt heat transfer paper. If you want to print on a light colored T-shirt, you can purchase the normal paper. They usually sell for approximately a dollar a sheet. If you are printing on a dark colored fabric, you will need to buy the opaque transfer paper. Dark fabric transfer sheets cost more, but you'll need them if you're making a dark colored T-shirt. T-shirt Design: Now that you have your materials, you will need to make your T-shirt design. Use any standard graphics program on your computer. If you don't have one, even Paint that comes with Windows XP will work. Locate a retro looking font on your computer. If you don't have one, there are plenty of free font sites on the Internet. You'll also need some sort of graphic. If you can't draw your own, there are also retro clip art sites on the Internet where you can find a good graphic. Use only one or two colors for your t-shirt. Make them match your T-shirt. Dark red on a pink Tshirt looks good. Put your Design on the T-shirt: Now that you have a design, you need to print it out. Be sure to set your printer on reverse or "mirror" image. Print a test on a normal sheet of paper before you print out your design on the transfer paper. Cut out your design carefully. Follow the instructions that came with the heat transfer sheets. A few tips: 1) Iron over the design with as much downward pressure as possible. 2) Go over the design multiple times. 3) Use a flat table; do not use an ironing board. Try your T-shirt on! If the first T-shirt didn't turn out as well as you would like, try again. You can make custom T-shirts for as little as $5 a T-shirt if you're good at it. Next time you see a T-shirt that says "South Dakota: Where my dawgs at," feel good that you're wearing a T-shirt that truly reflects your own individual style. �VARIETY THE PRIDE Tuesday; December 7 2004 Gift-giving guidance 2 H * compatable Waterproof mp3 player case BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer •M j WÈÊÊÈÊÈÉÈËÈËÈÊÊÊÊË mmmm^g • IH M Photos courtesy of ScotteVest Batteries not included Solar powered jacket BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer It's time to break the glass that surrounds that lit up red button that reads "Christmas shopping mode". Creativity and originality are traits that people tend to hone in on during the rigorous shopping season. Some gifts succeed and others get that "maybe you'll get it right next year" grin on Christmas Day. For some, avoiding that response could push prudence right out the door. If you're willing to drop about $500 this season on a friend or family member who is a gadget junky, look no further than the SCOTTeVEST 3.0. The 30-pocket solar power jacket is the first of its kind and it can house and power just about any gadget as long as it's Universal Serial Bus (USB) compatible—on the market including PDA's, MP3 players, Game Boys, cell phones and many other devices. Removable Solar panels on the back of the jacket convert sun light into energy which in turn allows a small central battery about the size of a deck of cards to power your gadgets. Direct sunlight is not required as the battery is fully charged within two to three hours. The pockets are arranged so that you may run headphones and headsets without exposing any wires. Pockets can be found all over the torso, shoulders and arms. It even has storage for bottles and hats. From wet to extremely dry, the SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can function in all weather conditions. Externally, it consists of a lightweight, water-proof and breathable material. Internally, there is mesh lining for cooling and an avail- able 12 pocket fleece vest for sustaining warmth. It comes in red, black and stealth and is available in virtually any size. SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can be purchased at scottevest.com or retailers such as Sports Authority, Mobile Planet, Spy Museum and Neiman Marcus. Alright, so you're searching for the ultimate Christmas gift. What are you going to buy your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, or relative that'll make their holiday that much brighter? Well I have the answer; h2o Audio has produced water proof housing for both iPods and iPod minis. The water proof housing for the iPod and the iPod minis go under the titles of Sv-iPod, and Sv-imini. On ipodlounge.com they describe the Svimini as being "the first fully waterproof and submersible housing for Apple's iPod mini." If you're a surfer or a swimmer, you could not ask for a better Christmas gift then an iPod accompanied by a SviPod, or an iPod mini accompanied by the Sv-imini. Imagine sitting out in the ocean, waiting for a good wave, and listening to your favorite band, or how about swimming laps and rocking out while doing so, I really don't it think life could get much better. There Photos courtesy of is a catch though, Anders Steele the Sv-iPod is back ordered until March 14, 2005, but the Sv-imini is available now. Both the Sv-imini and the Sv-ipod run for the price of $149.95. Both products come with waterproof MP3 player housing, a waterproof headset and silicon earplug, secure latching and the products allow easy access to control the MP3's functions and are submersible up to 10ft/3m. So if you pretty much want to buy someone the best g ift ever the answers is Sv-iPod and the Sv-imini, trust me it'll be worth the wait.

The women's team held tryouts last month and since then, they've had an excellent t urn out. The ASI club team will start their official season this spring. The women will play club teams f rom schools that are part of the San Diego league which include San Diego State University (SDSU), Pt. Loma Nazarene, University San Diego (USD) and University California San Diego (UGSD). The team will eventually j oin golf, cross-country, and track and field in participation with the N AIA. The N AIA is a national league which many private and smaller populated schools take part in. at the collegiate level.

For a schedule, contact Lawrence Boltin at the Field House, or head on down to the Field House, Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I 've written 28 "Jock Talks" since I j oined " The Pride". This is my last column f or the semester and it could p ossibly be my last column with " The Pride". It hasn't been very easy to pump out a sports column every week since sports isn't the biggest of concerns on this campus. Since many here don't know the difference between a first down and a touchdown I have tried to throw in a lot of variety into my columns. I related sports to real life problems such as people trying to b e something they aren't; I tried to be somewhat comedic when I wondered which athlete would make a good President; I shared a very personal story when I wrote about Ken Caminiti; I even wrote entertainment reviews when I saw "Friday Night Lights" and read "The Last Season". One thing I have tried t o stay away from is just completely focusing on sports because a lot of elements in sports can easily b e related to real life. This semester has b een very different f rom the previous semester. I have b een criticized by our Ombudsman because Jason feels that I don't write enough about sports, " ...are we ever going to read about sports... I t urn to the sports page t o get your spin on things that are actually happening in sports." came f rom his column on October 1 2,2004. Basically my response to that was if you want t o get my "spin on things that are actually happening in sports" then go open up the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on a given day and read articles I write for them. In other words, I wanted t o make "Jock Talk" my own. Several weeks ago Jason learned the struggles of having a weekly column when he resorted to writing his column in limericks. He would later empathize with me the struggles of t rying t o appeal to our readership in a weekly column. So, if you t hink its easy filling a column each week for one semester, let alone two like I have, it certainly is not. I am glad to hear that Jason is coming back next semester because I t hink the feathers that he has r uffled need to b e r uffled a little more. That leads me into t hanking a few people who have helped improve "Jock Talk". Many times this semester I reached a point where I had n o topic in mind. T hankfully Scott Phillips joined the staff and helped me come u p with topics such as the Del Mar Race Track, Fantasy Football, and if I thought the Chargers could keep on winning. Jason Encabo added a new element to "Jock Talk" this semester as he is the one that found a picture or created an illustration to accompany my i llfi! Photo courtesy of Josh Sandoval / ThePride words. Finally, Eric Mercado, the Features editor who edited my column did a great j ob not cutting my column, allowing me to say everything I wanted to say on a weekly basis. The reason for the uncertainty around my return next semester is that I don't plan on taking the class due to an already f ull schedule. I would like to continue my column even though I am not enrolled in the class, but th^t decision is entirely up to the jtwo returning editors-in chief who are unsure about how the paper will change. Now to appease Jason and the rest of you who read this for sports I better actually throw some sports into this column. This semester I can compare " The P ride" staff to the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls. O ur Ombudsman Jason is kind of like Dennis Rodman as he is probably the most controversial writer. Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan are the Jerry Krause of " The Pride" because they r un the show around here as the editors-in-chief. Our advisor Jenifer Woodring is like Phil Jackson because she coaches us when it's needed. The writers who don't have a weekly column are kind of like Steve Kerr, Luc Longley, and all the other role players on that Bulls team. Just like the Bulls, The Pride would not b e a success without them. I don't know where I fit into that team. I would like to think I am Michael Jordan because MJ did what he had to do to win and no matter what I find a way to do what I have to do to get a weekly column out there. Also, MJ retired on two different occasions only to return and dominate and like M J I don't know if I will return. So, who knows if this column is Michael Jordan's final game as a Washington Wizard or if it's my shot over Bryon Russell in the NBA finals to send "Jock Talk" into a short break and then return next semester?

Photo by Nicholas Tyerman CSUSM 8th in t he nation Cross-country team goes beyond expectations BY NICHOLAS T YERMAN For the Pride Nine members of the men and women Cougar cross-country team were in action at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky November 20. Kicking o ff the morning at 8:30 a.m., were the Cougar studs Jenni Johnson and Anne-Marie Byrne. On the muddy grass course these ladies showed amazing composure under tremendous pressure. Johnson ran 17:48 for the 5k (3.1mile) race placing her in fifth place, giving her AllAmerican honors while improving on her 8th place 18:06 performance f rom last year; giving Johnson the perfect ending to a senior season. Anne-Marie ran 18:41 for the 5k race placing her in 37th which improved tremendously on her 47th 18:55 performance f rom the year before. This was no easy task for a j unior who has made it her tradition to qualify to Nationals every year she has competed in college, which is a great accomplishment itself. A n hour later the men started their j ourney on the 8k (5mile) race that t urned into a muddy adventure for championship glory. Going in as underdogs since their ranking headed into the race was 17 out of 28 teams competing, the top 7 Cougar men toed the line not as individuals but as one unit, shall we say a family. Their pulses racing with excitement as the final seconds before the gun to fires seems to take minutes. Crack. With that single sound all the nerves disappear as business as usual begins for the Cougar men who make their way through the .competition of 252 other runners. A s the clock clicks over to read the time of 25:12 the first Cougar, Daniel Lyon, crosses the finish line in 12th place giving h im his first Ail-American honor only in his sophomore season of collegiate competition. Coming in 24th place Jesse A rmijo claims the last Ail-American honor of the day for the cougars finishing in a time of 25:30, giving this senior captain a moment that he shall cherish forever. Chris O 'Neal finished in an impressive 65th place in a time of 26:19 finishing out his senior year with a flash by out kicking the 66th and 67th r unner in the finishing chute by less than one second. Coming in next was the tremendous Cougar pack attack of Jace Getskow, Polo Mariscal, Phil H offman, and Tim Irwin. Jace finished in 138th place with a time of 27:07 giving this f reshman a f antastic season t o build on f or the next three years. Mariscal, only a junior, moved up great f rom the h alfway point of the race giving h im 162nd place with a time of 27:24. Phil H offman ran 27:35 giving h im a placing of 176th leaving this f reshman cougar hungrier for the next season to improve on his performance. Tim finished in 180th place with a time of 27:37 leaving this junior satisfied with his first trip to Cross-Country Nationals. The courageous performance by this Men's squad showed the nation that their 17th rank was f ar off by placing as a team 8th place in the nation. For such a young and inexperienced team the f uture looks bright for the years to come under the tutelage of Coach Steve Scott. �Tuesday, December 7 2004 THE PRIDE �OPINION T H E P RIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman I was going to do some sorta holiday theme, or 'the semester is over,' or 'finals are here/ or perhaps a 'stroll down memory lane' column. But, that sorta thing tends to be a Chinese water-torture of cliché that H i not submit you to. No need to make you wet while your areolas are stiff as boards from the cold. (Biology majors are the only ones that'll get that joke.) Better to think of this last little grey puppy as a season finale. Three weeks ago, I left this column with a cliffhanger. Would I receive 'Helios' and stay cm the jobfornext semester, or would I get a 'U-HauP and be told to take a hike? I know it's not up to par with an X-file biteyour-nails, can't wait for the next episode enticement, but it's not like I've got alien conspiracies to work with here. TRUST NO ONE! Sure 'nough, I got a stream of emails that all said 'Hello,' so I'm on the job. You com- plete me, and I'll be your Renee Zellweger. Just know, I'm not as cute and definitely can't shed the pounds like her. Either way, I was whip-id happy ya'll dig my tunes so I'm here to stay. (If you listen hard enough, you can just make out the cringes of the Pride s taff) I was so friggin' st(r)oked in fact, my head grew in size from your votes of approval and feeling empowered by the el/rection, I turned my 'aggressive criticism' on the Editors. You don't know what I mean cause that particular column, submitted for last week's issue, went the way of Mulder in the 8th season. Since I can't repeat the words in that column withoutfeeinganother 'editing decision,' I've emailed that article and correspondence on the matter to those readers that had sent me 'hellos.' If you'd like a copy, just tap my shoulder at nicho028@csusm.edu. Now, I hate to go on in this grey box about my little world, seems that's all most columns in this collection of tree-skins ever do. But, I'm running on faith here that you care enough 'bout this little grey box, to care what happened to it last week. After submitting my article, I had a fun-filled meeting with Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, the Editors-in-chief, and they informed me in no-uncertain terms (my gluteus maximus is now a gluteus minimus) that theyfeltmy article 'grossly misrepresented' the Editorial staff. As such, they decided my 'opinion' was misleading and that I was not acting in the best interests of the readers. In fact, I was told that particular portions of my criticism of the editorial staff "has nothing to do with the J e£ders* / . f\ \ ; Obviously, I disagreed. I don't doubt they believed they were being loyal to the readers, or doing what was iii the best interests of the Pride. The funny thing was, that's exactly how I felt. I was given the option to "revise" my column or have it axed. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm suggesting I had to comprimise my principles or anything. I mean, I was given an 'option.' Now, it's their right to decide not to publish my column, since it's their butts on the line if this paper is ever sued for libel. I'm still wondering how my 'opinion' would have led to a suit, but I thought it fair you know the pressure they're under. In the end, I 'chose' to have the column axed. I'd rather not print, than print what others feel I should. What some might refer to as "bureaucratic manipulation?" Perhaps, in a hand-written issue of the Pride some time back? In advance of the question, "how does this relate to you the reader?" I'm gonna throw out the "C" word that rhymes with zensorship. As the Ombudsman, the lamest title I've had since Seaman (man-juice) and Petty (small) Officer, my job has been more than just getting you to giggle. Though, I'm tickled I make you laugh (with me, not at me!) I'm the reader's advocate, or so I'm told. The person that holds the newspaper to a standard of journalism that has wild notions of trust and integrity, as well as pertinence and quality You'd think some autonomy goes along with that notion. How else to trust that the Ombudsman isn't just taking the side of the newspaper? Perhaps, I was just being the miscreant that I've always tended to be when I conceived of a crazy little notion to 'aggressively criticize' those in charge of the Pride, after readers submitted the following throughout this semester: "I realize that I am not the only person that thinks some of the articles are asinine in their content." "you [the Ombudsman} are not afraid to call it [the Pride] what it is.. .crap." -Morgan McCorkle, email to Ombudsman. "ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines." -Bob Dickey, editorial letter. (ASI doesn't fund the Pride by the way) "Students deserve better from the Editors of the Pride" -Jonathan Poullard, email to Ombudsman. "I strongly urge you [the Pride] to research your facts before printing them [articles]. Beyond misleading students it makes the Pride look unreliable." -Bryan I Watkins, editorial letter. "For the last weeks it seems that all you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write." -Carmelino Cruz, editorial letter, "Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast our [sic] members in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page." -West^ Rogers, editorial letter. "Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of?" -Nathan Loomis, editorial letter. Damn, and I was trying to avoid a stroll down memory lane. Well, finals are here. The semester is pretty much over. Have good times on your Holidays. (Drip. Drip. Drip.) The End. .. .Or is it?

According to the CSUSM website, the projected enrollment at our campus is 11,000 students in the fall of 2012. In case you're wondering, no, I don't plan to be an eighth year senior, but if the faculty does not start making some adjustments to accommodate the annual increase of enrollment, registering for classes will become more and more of a headache. �12 Tuesday. December Dear Editor, Congratulations are in order to those of us to graduate this fall even if our own university is incapable of doing so properly. The Fall Grad Reception held November 30th at the Escondido Center for the Performing Arts was more like a Christmas party than a celebration for fall graduates. Five speakers were slotted to take the stage, one of which was our very own ASI president and non-graduate, Manal O PÏNTON 7 2004 Yamout. Manal not only failed Grad Reception was a secret, at her attempt to give the gradu- only mentioned to a select few ates some parting advice, but she - and the graduates of course. did so by prefacing her speech Most professors I've spoken to with an admission; she had no failed to receive any information idea what the graduates were about the reception. How many feeling. Unfortunately, she was professors would hpve apprecinot alone; nobody administering ated the opportunity to congratthe reception appeared to know ulate some of their students on what the graduates were feeling. a j ob well done? Furthermore, FYI: it was boredom with a touch how many graduates would have of distain. After the diminutive wanted their professors present at speeches, all that was left for the what might be their only graduagraduates to do was mingle with tion event? Apparently that's just fellow graduates, family, friends, another thing the administration and faculty. Wait; make that just overlooked. In the end, even if fellow graduates, family, and you could look past the lacklusfriends. It appears that the Fall ter PowerPoint presentation that Students, Bush won, Bush won... What can I say... 4 more years of George W Bush? Here is a Preview of coming attractions: war, tax cuts, inflation, declining value of the US dollar, rising tuition, rising gas prices, rising constitutional amendments, systematic elimination of our civil liberties and continued oppression on groups like the LGBT and Feminist community. But, at least we will be "safe." Is that all you Americans care about is safety? You have been scammed in to thinking that the terrorists are every where and they can decimate this country. This is America. We are the most powerful country in the world. We will not be killed by a few terrorists. You all seem to buy in to this fear. Don't you know that more than 15 times more people die from car accidents than terrorism every year? [Assuming we lost 3000 people every year] Do you realize we lose 60 times more people a year from smoking deaths? Do you realize you have a better chance of killing yourself than being killed by a terrorist? The lax envi- Churchill's Pub & Grille We're CSSM's Local Pub! Just minutes west of campus at 887 W. San Marcos Bl vd. Happy Hour every M~F from 4-7pm Free WIFI THE PRIDE scrolled through the names of the graduates and the horribly tacky centerpieces you still would not be capable of finding an inspiring moment during the whole 45 minute reception. That might be because the only real celebration our university has to offer graduates occurs in the spring. So, for those who finish in the fall, we are asked to keep May 15th open. Our administration requests that we simply look at the spring semester as a break and return in May to receive the congratulations we rightfully deserve. I might consider it after they apologize to all of the parents who attended the ronmental policies on air pollution make the air we breathe more dangerous than the suicidal terrorists themselves. Where is our War on Suicides, the War on Cancer, and the War on Alcoholism? Domestically these problems are a far grater than the threat of terrorism. Do you realize our current policy spends more money & time killing people rather than saving people? -1,200 Americans solders dead in Iraq; 15,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Wake up America! We need to question how we conduct our foreign policy. Although I agree we should keep an eye on terrorism, think about know how much we could achieve if we invested 200 billon or a fraction of that on safety for cars, smoking prevention, or on renewable energy. We would be saving a lot more live;s. These corporations are ripping off the government by overcharging for their services and the money is coming right out of your pocket. It is because of the powerful corporations lobbying politicians with millions of dollars, that we keep fighting the war. If there is no war to fight, there will not be any demand for the bombs, computers systems and tactical weapons. In this capitalistic society an industry will do everything they can do to stop others from cutting into their profits. This includes peace. My republican friends, I and most of us don't have a several billion dollar capital to invest to create solutions; we need the help of the government. I think it would be nice if "pro-life" people supported money spent to save lives not destroy them. I'm not talking about abortion or stem cell Check out these College Specials: reception expecting to see a shortened version of an actual graduation ceremony. Then again, I think most of us would just like an apology in general because to some, that was our graduation. I wonder if the administration gave that a second thought. Then again, they might have been more worried about whom to sucker into attending the event. Christina Polowsky 2004, Psychology research. Like you people say "as much as you talk, you are still killing a human life." Take a moment to think how much we value human life in war time. Do we have to listen to the constant echo machine of the media? We all know "hope is [NOT] on the way." Democrats, democrats what can I say. You are just as guilty as the damn rightists. Why did we support a guy who spent the whole time fighting as if he was going to lose? Is there an opposition party any more? He conceded immediately, and now we're "looking ahead." You guys better hope that the majority that holds complete power now doesn't cancel democracy and or declare martial law because they are in a position where they can take over the country. These are the cards we have been dealt. Now we can do one two things. We can fold and "cut our losses" like the Democrats have done. Or we can continue to -stand up like the majority of Americans, who didn't vote again, and raise a FIST not a thumb! We need a revolution. I will not stand by when our civil liberties are taken, discrimination is written in constitutions, and we continue to pile our national debt ($7,443,313,021,246.25 dollars and rising.) We can't give up now. We're too involved to just give up. If we give up, we will than continue to see more of the same in the next four years. We as students know that if we want something, we can get it by rising up. So let's do this. "We have only begun to fight." It's not over now. "Si se dice, será oido."

D.W. Jacobs adapted the Charles Dickens' story which is being directed by Todd Salovey. This year the cast is enthusiast, the sets are beautiful, and the music is festive. Imagine having the power to remember things forgotten in the past, to understand the present and see your future.. .do you think you would change anything? Ebenezer Scrooge (Peter Van Norden) is an angry old man who refuses to have any part of Christmas. Scrooge is rude to his family and his employees. He finds joy in money and pleasure in other's misery. One night Scrooge sees the spirit of his old friend and business partner Marley (Douglas Roberts) who warns him that he will be visited by three ghosts that will give him the chance to revisit his past, make sense of the present, and see what his life will be like in the future. Marley's costume is the most interesting part of his visit, his face and wrist chains both glow. When the Ghost of Christmas Past (Shana Wride) arrives she takes Scrooge on a trip back to his past. She takes him to his childhood and reminds him of things he used to love and of the people who impacted his life. This is the best part of this play. The sets are gorgeous and the music really puts you in the mood for the holidays. This would have been the perfect place for an intermission. The show plays for 90 minutes straight through with no breaks. It is hard to pay attention and sit quietly for that long. Next the Ghost of Christmas Present (Douglas Roberts) arrives and gives Scrooge the chance to see how he is currently affecting the lives of people. First he takes Scrooge to the home of his employee Bob Cratchit (Steve Gunderson) and shows him how his family still celebrates even though they are short on money and their youngest child is sick. Then he takes him to his nephew's house THE PRIDE Gwen Stefani: "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer 111:1. J 11 / Photo courtesy of San Diego Repertory Theatre where he sees a party going on with out him and the guests making jokes about him. Both houses toast Scrooge and include him in their celebration even though he chose not to attend. The Ghost of Christmas Present has the most amazing costume in the show and it's good because it gives you something to look at when the play looses your interest. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Future (Trevor Hollingsworth) shows Scrooge that his future is non-existent and no one will mourn or miss him. The Ghost of Christmas Future is huge and does nothing but point. This is the weakest point of the play, which is sad because it's trying to convey the most powerful message. If you're still paying attention, you'll see that Scrooge's life is changed by the ghosts. He decides to redeem himself by undoing some of the wrongs he's done to change the present so the future will be different. Although this show has great intentions, it fails to deliver. If you expect to leave in the holiday spirit you will be disappointed. Decide for yourself, tickets can be purchased at the box office 79 Horton Plaza and students receive a 50 percent discount. You can also contact the box office by phone (619) 544-1000 or online at www.sandiegorep.com. The show is running until December 26. CAUTION: This is a DANCE ALBUM. Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000 . . . what?! Yep, that's right. She's no longer crawling through her spider webs. Gwen Stefani's newly released solo album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby", is a completely new sound for this ska chick. She really dives into some Hip-Hop, Dance, and even some Japanese Pop with techno beats making her almost like this generation's Dee-Lite. Imagine those 80s songs like J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" or some Cyndi Lauper tunes, that's what you're getting. This album features her collaborations with hip hop artists Eve, The Neptunes, Andre 3000, and even Andre's alter ego Johnny Vulture allowing her to exhibit her musical versatility. She even samples Notorious B.I.G.'s, "Big Poppa" (also sampled from Marvin Gaye) in her song "Luxurious." I never imagined hearing such a great Biggie track with Gwen's voice singing, "We're LUXURIOUS like Egyptian cotton. We're so rich in love were rollin' in cashmere." As for the rest of the album, I gotta be honest; the lyrics are like a flashback of Madonna's nightmare rap served with lattes. "I picture you driving just like Mario Andretti. I got the Kush, Kettle One, waiting for your engine," from "Crash," which was produced by her band mate Tony Kanal. I seriously had to take a double look and say, "what!? The lyrics aren't all there to make Gwen a hip hop artist. If you just listen to the songs, lyrics and beat together, it makes a good combination. I'm expecting to hear some of her songs played during College Night at the clubs. The last track, "Long Way To Go", produced and also performed by Outkast's Andre 3000, really made me excited. Stefani sings: "It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade c omputer... If all men are made equal then she/he was fine." Her message about equality reminds listeners of Martin Luther King's dream, "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..." Like I said before, this album is not your typical vibe from No Doubt's, Gwen Stefani. This album is about Gwen, the solo artist and her dance beats. If you can get past the lyrics, then this is a CD that you can't help but move to. Just remember, don't expect to hear some punk or ska.

Those beautifully choreographed moments where - for a split second - everything just seems to become clear and you realize that the life you are choosing to live is not as fulfilling as you had dreamed it would be. If you had not been in that place, at that time, with that person, you know that this epiphany would have never occurred. Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Hayden Church) decided to take a seven day trip to wine country in celebration of Jack's last week as a single man. The pair of old college roommates could not have been more different. They were close friends, but they lived completely different lifestyles. Miles went to Northern California to drink wine and play golf. Jack went to take advantage of his final opportunity to get laid before his upcoming wedding. The insecure, neurotic, and introspective Miles could be compared to the grapes that produce a fine Pinot - they can only grow in certain climates, have extremely thin skin, and are temperamental when exposed to the elements of the outside world. Jack, the womanizing, has-been Television star, is like a house Merlot - the grapes can thrive in any environment, regardless of rain or shine and the wine they produce has a distinct robust flavor that everyone recognizes, but is usually enjoyed in moderation. Writer-director Alexander Payne's fourth film (following "Citizen Ruth," "Election" and "About Schmidt") does an excellent job showing how these two men illuminate each others differences, but Photos courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures by doing this - they are able to recognize and confront the shortcomings in their own lives. Payne allows the audience the unique ability to see inside the characters and provides cinematic moments that provoke uncontrollable laughter and others that produce a quiet "ah-ha!" If instant gratification is what you seek in a movie, "Sideways" is probably not for you. But if you are willing to approach the movie as you would a vintage wine - cork the bottle, fill up one third of your glass, swish it around, inhale its distinct aroma -f all before you take that first fulfilling sip, then you will appreciate the wit, humor, and intelligence in this film. "Alexander" the not so great BY AMANDA JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Waruer Bros. Entertainment Inc. As Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) said, "All men will reach and fall," and so did the movie "Alexander." "Alexander" chronicles the life of Alexander (Colin Farrell), from his childhood years through his short life as king. His father, King Philip (Val Kilmer), is murdered when Alexander is barely 20 years old making Alexander his predecessor. As a young king with ambition, he leads his undefeated Greek and Macedonian armies through Persia and into India. He spreads his kingdom, but after his defeat in India, he leads his army home to Babylon, where his dies at the age of 32. Director Oliver Stone attempts to recreate Alexander's life as an interesting movie, but fails miserably. The threehour movie is filled with mostly dialogue and little action. The few battle scenes that are in the movie have music that sometimes feels a little out of place and offbeat. The beginning jumps between past and present so much that it becomes hard to follow. Although it is hard to chronicle a man's life in only three hours, a lot more could have been done so the viewer could follow along, or at least keep from walking out of the theatre. But to give some credit, the battle scenes were outstanding, if you could get past the music. The,details of blood and gore, with men losing legs and elephants losing trunks; was so realistic, rather disgusting to this writer, that one would have to be impressed with the people on the graphics team. The makeup of the war wounds was also very realistic, especially of a warrior and his missing eye. The details put into the movie on graphics and makeup far exceeded the plotline, which itself was very dull. Beside the fact that Olympias (Angelina Jolie) never ages in the movie and her son does, she was mostly a believable | character. Kilmer does an impressive job as the drunken father, and Farrell wasn't too bad either. There were, however, a few scenes where an unnamed character in Alexander's army would speak up with what sounded to be a Scottish accent. Although this writer's history could be inaccurate, it seems a little out of place for a Scotsman to be in Greece. "Alexander" reaches hard to be a great movie with a quality cast, but the horrible plotline, boring dialogue and little action makes this movie fall to the bottom of the "wait for video" list. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The open forum, attended by 27 people, was thefirstof three open forums that will be hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI). ASI President, Manal Yamout, asked Haynes for an update on the situation. Haynes stated that the university is working to put an ad hoc task force in place to review campus policing practices, and has hired an external investigator to investigate the formal complaint filed by Williams against campus police.

CSUSM students give back Different opportunities around campus to donate this holiday season BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Despite the stress the holiday season can bring, for many this time of year is also a time of giving and sharing. Several CSUSM organizations are reaching out this season to help those in need. Currently, CSUSM's College Republicans are conducting Operation Donation. Operation Donation is a holiday drive to support wounded soldiers from Camp Pendleton who are arriving at military hospitals. The goal of the drive is helping soldiers through recovery and giving back to the men and women who have risked their lives for our country. Donation items can be dropped off at Craven 4116 until December 23. Suggested donation items are: nonperishable foods, DVD's, batteries, phone cards, books, magazines, Game Boys, Domino's Pizza gift certificates, towels, wash cloths and any hygiene supplies. CSUSM Academic technology services is currently holding the annual Bree Tinney auction in order to raise money for the Bree Tinney memorial scholarship. Items donated are auctioned off to raise money. The money goes to fund scholarships that are not endowed with enough funds. The auction runs until 12 p.m. on December 9 and can be accessed at http://www.csusm. vol.xiino.13 TUESDAY, N OVEMBER 3 0,2004 The facts about arrests on campus BY WILL LEMON Pride Staff Writer During the latest wave of protests on campus, demonstrators continued to claim racial profiling in the CSUSM police department, often citing arrest information printed in the San Diego Union-Tribune in comparison with CSUSM enrollment data available on the schools website. Using data provided by the campus police department and campus registration information, the Pride has the figures for your comparison. The arrest data cited in the Tribune said that "out of 174 arrests on campus since 2000, more than half arrested were white, 35 percent Hispanic and 5.7 percent AfricanAmerican." This information mirrors the summary percentages provided by the campus police. Further examination of the police data shows a sharp rise in arrests in the 2003-2004 year. Between 2000-2003, the CSUSM police department made a total of 59 arrests. From Nov. 2003 to Nov.2004 the CSUSM police department made 115 arrests, nearly twice the amount of arrests made in the previous three years. "The number of arrests has significantly risen since the opening of the Resident hall on campus," remarked CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller at the data. Data from November 4 2003November 4 2004 shows that whites comprised approximately 52.5 % of the student population and 51.3 % of the arrests.

During the same time period Hispanics comprised approximately 19.2% of the student population and 34.8 % of arrests. African-Americans comprised 2.8% of those enrolled and 7.8% of the arrests on campus. "We come in contact not just with students but also with members of thé local community," said Lt. Miller in response to questions about the racial/ethnic makeup of arrests by the CSUSM police department. Miller said that the racial/ethnic make-up of campus police arrests were fairly close to the racial/ethnic make-up of the community. Registration statistics about race/ethnicity are derived from information gained at the time of enrollment, where a student self selects their racial/ethnic background. According to Miller arrest racial/ethnic information is obtained by officers selecting a category after asking the suspect their racial/ ethnic background. Note: Police data categories were White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Asian- Indian, and Hawaiian. FORUM, from page 1 reduce the charges against Jason Williams," said Haynes. Haynes also stated that if the external investigator were to uncover a problem with a particular officer or officers practicing racial profiling on campus, "An officer could be let go." Other students expressed concern that students might be hesitant to file a formal complaint against the police, since the form has to be obtained from and submitted to the police. Leonard characterized the process as "unsafe" and "intimidating."

For comparison purposes police data categories of Asian-Indian and Hawaiian were grouped under 'Asian/ Pacific Islander'; plaints need not be signed. "They (the police) can investigate an unsigned complaint," Haynes said. A review by The Pride of the campus police web site found only an email comment form—not the formal complaint form—was available on line. When asked by student Steven Zamora if she felt that "aggressive policing" was better than community based policing for our campus, Haynes wasn't willing to sanction the use of the term "aggressive" in relation to campus policing methods. "I'm not willing to say that all of our policing and methods are not appropriate," said Haynes. Haynes explained that the task cans of food were donated.

They could be white. Or black. Or brown. Male or female. Blond or brunette. Student, faculty, or staff. Seventeen or twenty-eight or fifty-two. They might know they're infected. They might not. It could be the person sitting next to you, or the one sipping a latté at Kellogg Café right now. You would never know by looking at them that they carry the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, a virus that ravages the host's immune system. When the immune system can't fight off even the lowliest of infections anymore—bugs that live all around us all the time that a healthy immune systemfightsoff easily—the disease is reclassified by the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is transmissible via straight sex, anal sex, oral sex, needle sharing and blood transfusion. Wednesday December 1 is World AIDS Day. It will receive a short mention in the local paper and on the evening news, but this article and an HIV/AIDS information booth planned by Student Health Services on Kellogg Plaza from 10:30 to 2:30p.m. will be the only acknowledgement on the CSUSM campus of the global pandemic that is infecting six new people in San Diego County every day. Eleven campus student organizations were contacted by The Pride-American Indian the red ribbon is for any more, and celebrities haven't worn them on the red carpet in years. But AIDS is alive and well in San Diego County. According to statistics from the County's Health and Human Services Agency over 4,000 case of HIV infection have been reported in the county since 2002.

The book was released in September but I have anticipated reading this collection of memoirs since the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the NBA Finals in June. The book is Phil Jackson's journal that he kept over a year's time. It starts with his first entry coming on July 11,2003 as he is heading to his home in Montana. He talks about the annual spiritual journey that he Wfcat is about to embark on in order to get away from the hectic NBA life that he leads. In this first entry he writes about his excitement when he receives word that the Lakers are about to sign Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Not much longer into this entry he writes about a conversation with Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers General Manager, regarding the news of Kobe Bryant and the accusations that Kobe raped a young woman. With that first entry you see that there is going to be a roller coaster of emotions throughout the book. With so many different events that occurred during his tenure as coach of the Lakers, Phil had plenty to write about in his journal and he certainly wasn't worried about offending people. The book is organized into twelve chap- if F m pre^wfl^ • v. * 'I m a k e i nformed, h ealth _ a » JSll c onfident c hoices 277 S* R a n c h o S a n t a H H H l San Marcas, i more info? birthchoice.net llgianswers, real help ters with each one containing different insights into what really happened behind the scenes of the Lakers dynasty. One of the major topics in the book is the personality conflict and fight for power between Kobe and Shaq in which Phil reveals just how childish their squabbles were. Another topic that comes up quite often is his analysis of his relationship with Kobe Bryant and the tension that resides with the two of them. Phil also discusses many controversial topics that involve the NBA and where he thinks the state of the game is going. However, throughout the whole book he primarily tries to focus on what happened during last season. Phil constantly discusses the slow implosion of his team as they gradually fall apart whether it be by injury, lack of effort, or out of spite for one another. He continually writes about the different methods he attempts in order to get his team to play together. He tries reverse psychology telling his team they can't do something, automatically making them want to prove him wrong; he tries guilt by making them feel like he is let down by their performance; he tries meditation making them focus on being a team rather than a bunch of individuals. However, with all of his work trying to get them to act like a team I found it funny that when Phil refers to the his team he doesn't use unifying words such as "Us" or "We", he always refers to them as "The Lakers", creating a separation from them which in my mind doesn't say much about him trying to create a team atmosphere. In chapters eight through eleven Phil writes in his journal during the playoffs. When reading these chapters I couldn't Photo courtesy of The Penguin Press help but think to myself, why is he writing in his journal during this time when every second of his time should be devoted to practicing, studying, preparing or something to help his team advance in the playoffs. Then as I continued to read on he quickly answered my question as he soon details that practice won't help his team due to their own individualistic attitudes. Not even Phil Jackson was able to find an answer for the Lakers which definitely tells you something when you consider he is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk court side. I recommend this book to you as it is one of the best sports books I have read and it will certainly give you a greater admiration for your family or coworkers.

Dreams of being a Polynesian/Jewish Whitney Houston have eluded me, leaving me in the outskirts of my hometown of Oceanside, singing in filthy bars to a group of howling friends, egging me on to do The Robot. Karaoke is this sick fetish for those inclined to pretend they are a superstar. Freaks, weirdoes, and Michelles alike can all be found at these places of prestige. The Alley. Smitty's. Coyote Bar and Grill. Heck, come on over to my house and bring your favorite CDs. Let's make a night out of it. I recall a semester or so ago there was a fraternity or sorority something on campus that had an open karaoke barbeque. Pure genius. There was a young man who sang his heart out. He had no crowd to cheer him on, no beer obviously, and yet he was this karaoke sprite, asking for nothing but a chance to finish his song. People walked by, ignoring the fact that the young man was flexing his "hip-to-be-square" mentality. You want to talk about the right to be heard? A right to information? Students that night had a right to know who the campus idiots were. Had I known this function was going on, I would've changed my schedule to be a part of CSUSM karaoke barbeque/mixer something history. My life is full of books and serving overpriced coffee. Sometimes a girl like me needs an outlet. A release. A form of expression. Chasing around older men gets, well, old. If Karaoke is a sport, these are the rules: two teams. One team is the group of individuals who are most definitely feeling the funk, that is, spirited, a.k.a. drunk. These people take to the stage and are dead serious. Some have flunked out of the church choir, are actual singers whose careers have taken a detour, or have what I like to call "shower time talent," looking for a contract. The second team is the team I currently play for. Strictly for laughs. Oh, but the game face must be on. Your friends know you're joking, but the crowd has to really believe it and feel it. There is one catch if this is to be Extreme Karaoke. You must do it stone sober. Otherwise, you may take it too seriously which could take you out of the game or you may be possibly swapped for a player from the first team. Savvy? This is definitely not to say that you can't baby-sit a cold one all night, but you have to be ready for game time. No slurring, just ultimate Karaoke. I take this game seriously. Just like professional bowlers have their own balls, I have my signature song, "Superfreak," by the late great Rick James. I've done that song in addition to my own intergalactic planetary robotic seizure dance. The crowd loves it and I'm sure Mr. James would too. I have the intention to go to the sleaziest Karaoke bars in North County and work my way down to the famous Piano Bar that was in the movie Top Gun. I hope that on a Friday night, you shake off that odd little nugget called self-respect and join in on the healthy destruction of some really good songs. Anyone who wants a challenge, just bring it unless I've met you and it's already been brought. Oh yeah, baby. I've got big dreams for Extreme Karaoke. Big dreams. Photo by Chrissy Baldwin / The Pride Focus young grosshopuor Tips to help you get through the end of the semester BY JAMARR PATRICK Pride Staff Writer reasoned with your mind about how you really don't need to go to class, or how you won't miss anything in class? I know I have done it countless times and I'm Is it me or is it hard to stay focused late into the semester? Throughout my college career I have found it hard to stay focused as the semester goes on and on and. No matter what semester it is, spring or fall, I always find a way to hit "the wall." At the start of the semester I'm all gung ho about my education. I study often, read the material in advance, highlight things—all that fun stuff that is supposed to make you a good student. Eventually I learn how my professors and classes operate then my mind works in a different less efficient way. Instead of doing sure some you have too. I have some tips to help with things the easy way, Ifindways to make the classes and the semester staying focused and to get a lot harder. I see if attendance is through the semester. I am no not an expert at this a mandatory type of thing and if the lectures are helpful. If they sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Phil, aren't, then I start conning myself and I am not an "A" student, so into strategies on how not to go to you take these tips At Your Own < <-> « class. How many times have,you, . Risk\ Know thyself - if you are a slacker (i.e. motivationally challenged), then do not get into a class were attendance is not taken and/òr the absence rule is not enforced. I tell you this because sooner or later you will end up being the person that shows up to class and the people that attend every class look at you like you are crazy. Save yourself the awkward looks and either get yourself a forty ounce of red-bull before every class or just drop the class before it gets out of hand. lam no not an expert at this sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Sit at the front of the Phil, and I am not class.

Whether it be the subject or the people, it may even be the professor, every class has something in it for everybody.

The benefit of that is that you can ask them to help you •study- Next thing you know you. • of all, sitting in the front will force you to go to class even when you don't want to.

When I called the Student Technology Help Desk and asked how many Mini DV Cameras they had total, the response was 11, and that they believed four had permanently been checked out by professors which brings us down to the whopping grand total of seven Mini DV Cameras. These seven cameras are fair game; they are free for any student on the CSUSM campus to check out just like books, and you are also allowed to re-check out these cameras upon returning them. I find it hard to believe that seven Mini DV Cameras are enough to support the Comm majors enrolled in these new classes. The projects in these new classes are film projects, which require the use of a video camera. If you don't have a friend who'll let you borrow his or her video camera and your attempts to check one out from the Student Technology Help Desk were unsuccessful you're screwed. So Comm majors get ready to ask for some extensions because there is a very good chance you are going to need them. Dear Editor, I wanted to respond to the people who wrote the editorials regarding graffiti. It appears I was the only one who wrote in that was for the graffiti. They argued against it because it was abusing the idea of free speech and because the offenders were spreading lies. Well I still feel the way I did before regarding the action but my new problem is with this idea of lies. Who cares if they spread lies? Who is so foolish that they trust chalk on the ground? The problem is not with the people who spread the lies but with people that believe the lies. Of course, a group is going to bend the truth to get their way this should be apparent to every breathing person. It is up to the individual to be critical of all they are told. I am tired of the lazy attitude people have on thinking for themselves. They want to live cycles of working, sleeping, and watching television. They want to use as little of their brain as possible throughout the day. This is why most people voted for Bush because they want someone to lead their government and their life. It reminds me of the period following the First World War when people became so disillusioned with the idea of reason and science they looked for Nietzsche's Superman to come and lead them. This of course led to such great (sarcasm) leaders as Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. Nowadays people have again become disillusioned with the ideas of critical thought, reason, and the individual. Therefore, they again are looking for a superman to come and lead them to some kind of glory and are it not funny that the citizens of America chose George W. Bush to be their superman. Since the election for Pope of the United States, I have begun to ask myself many questions. Has the world I live in always been this sheepish and afraid and I have only come to realize it now? Or is it a recent change? Is this the third great awakening or worse, the predawn to the Orwellian life of 1984? I personally have given up on you my fellow man and our society in a whole but I do wish you good luck in deciding what I should think and what I should believe. Post Script: Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast members our in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page. We students, who do not care about these same 10 peoples lives, need to write in more and demand something different. Sincerely, Weston Rogers Senior, History major, and a member of the Depopulation Cooperative. I am writing to you about the current issues surrounding the so called "moral values" and the "sanctity of marriage". My 72 year old father recently went to Russia and brought back a young woman to marry, the same age as his children. Our society will let any combination of a man and a woman get married regardless of its moral values; yet, they will not allow homosexuals to share in the financial, emotional, and committed benefits of marriage. Homosexuality should be treated as any other minority in the United States. For some reason our society can not look past their heterocentric views and extend the rights to homosexuals that are extended the rest of the society. Not long ago there were miscegenation laws prohibiting marriage between members of different races. Did the world stop spinning when those laws were changed? No; and, the world will not stop spinning if they allow homosexuals to marry either. In a sense, what the American society is doing by discriminating against this misrepresented group of people is itself a form of a hate crime. I find it very disturbing how many religious sectors of our society get to make the rules that affect the lives of those not belonging to their congregations. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Why can't our society let homosexuals attain the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that their heterosexual counterparts are allowed to pursue? Why do they allow marriages like my father's to be validated and not the unions of the loving relationships of millions of American citizens, your brothers, your sisters, your aunts, your uncles, your sons, and your daughters..., who happen to be homosexual? It is not time that changes things, it is people that change things. Ann Kirkendall Senior, Liberal Studies major Regarding the recent storming of President Haynes' office on November 10,1 have one question: don't you all have anything better to do? President Haynes has to run this campus, she shouldn't have to waste her time on matters like this. Instead of thinking up new schemes to grab attention, maybe you should focus on encouraging the wronged student to exhaust all the correct channels before interrupting the president. Was the affected young man even present in the storming of the president's office? The whole event reeks of 'publicity stunt' rather than 'truly concerned'. On another note...last Thursday there was a Veteran's Day ceremony held at CSUSM which was attended by numerous students, faculty, and family members. The event spotlighted the current reserve and active duty military members who are students among you, several who are veterans of the war in Iraq. Regardless of one's views on our current administration or the war in Iraq, respect for those who have died in past wars should not be a fad. Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of? What really bothers me is how many students who don't support our veterans took advantage of the free BBQ given out after the ceremony.

J. M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) play is bombing miserably on opening night, and we soon learn his marriage isn't faring any better. Barrie heads off to the park the next morning with his gargantuan dog, looking for inspiration for his next tour de force, when serendipity brings him and the widow Sylvia Llewellyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her family together. Davies has four young sons with whom Barrie has more in common than any of his contemporaries, and with Barrie's imagination and the boys' willingness to suspend disbelief, they set out on all sorts of fantastical imaginary adventures. Davies' son Peter (Freddie Highmore) lends his name to the boy who never grows up, and several moments in the film foreshadow other moments and characters that will make their way into Barrie's script for "Peter Pan." Johnny Depp is exquisite as ever, and his Scottish brogue is sweeter than Sean Connery's real one. Kate Winslet plays Davies to tear-jerking perfection, and outstanding support is given by Julie Christie as Davies' mother, and Dustin Hoffman as J. M. Barrie's patient theatrical producer. Director Marc Forester ("Monster's Ball") brings the lushness of Edwardian London Photos courtesy of Film Colony Production / The Pride to the screen, and elicits outstanding performances not only from his cast of awardwinners, but from the children, as well. Especially remarkable is young Highmore as Peter, who mesmerizes with his performance. As J. M. Barrie once said, "Young boys should never go to bed. They wake up a day older, and before you know it, they're grown." Go see "Finding Neverland" and you'll never want to go to bed, either (and not just because it's finals week). A little too shady It s time to get over Kim BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Eminem's latest CD, "Encore" fails to impress me after building his career on controversial lyrics. On Eminem's 4th release his lyrics just sound goofy. "Cause I'm what you wanna be/ So you just look like an idiot/ When you say these mean things cause it's so easy to see/ You're really just a big weenie (big weenie)." It's hard pulling up next to somebody on the road and bumping music like this. I'm not afraid to admit I used to listen to Eminem when he first came into the game with the "Marshall Mathers LP." However, after I listened to "Encore," I felt myself wanting to hear something new. He needed to take new strides in rapping with fresh material. "You are the ink to my paper/What my pen is to my pad/The moral, the very fiber, the whole substance of my rap." I wish I could tell him he needs to get over Kim, who is a prime target in many of his songs, and WW realize there are plenty of other females in the world. It seems like everyday he changes from hating her to loving her. He also needs to stop rapping about the "8 mile." I think by this point, after many CD's and a featured movie, we know that Eminem grew up in Detroit's ghetto, with a dysfunctional family. What Eminem is original in is that he has become very apologetic in his later years. Instead of creating beef, which is why he is famous, he apologizes to everyone from Christopher Reeves to Photos courtesy of Shady Records Ja Rule and Benzino. His songs are a lot better when he, excuse my language, starts shit with people. I don't really dig seeing Eminem's emotional side. Where this CD excels and becomes somewhat worthy is that many of the beats produced by Dr. Dre, Em's mentor, come off really strong. Songs like "Rain Man," "Mosh" and "Never Enough" all have that million dollar touch that Dr. Dre knows how to produce. Maybe it's because I'm a few years older than when I first listened to Eminem, but I can't groove with what he says anymore. I'm not a hater though. I have to give props to any thirty-twoyear-old rapper that can still make lyrics and beats from belches, farts, vomiting, and diarrhea. At the end of the day it's all about how you pay your bills, and I'm sure Eminem's "Encore" will more than help him with that task. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Protestors demand change BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Protests on campus erupted as students sought to give voice to ongoing issues they feel are being ignored by CSUSM administrators and staff. Student Claude Sayf rallied a group of students on November 9 who were upset about remarks university spokesperson Paige Jennings made regarding the arrest of Jason Williams and larger issues of racial profiling. Jennings is quoted in the November 5 edition of the North County Times saying, "William's race was not a factor in the incident," About 30 students walked to Jennings's office to confront her. "You released a statement to the North County Times talkSee PROTESTS * page 3 Financial Aid woes Problems getting financial assistance plague some students BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Students joined together to have their voices heard when they marched to CSUSM President Karen Haynes' office on November 10, and remained there until they could see the president. Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent to the president's office and when Haynes arrived the group presented her with a letter expressing their concerns. The letter was presented to Haynes by Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students. Students chose to stand quietly around the President Haynes listens to student concerns. VOL. XII NO. 12 As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough, many CSUSM students also worry how they'll pay for tuition next semester. The financial aid office in Craven Hall 4204 is set up to help students getfinancialassistance, but for some students it actually provides more headaches than money. Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is no guarantee financial aid will be provided. If a student is granted financial aid there is no guarantee the funding will sustain them until graduation. "I was supposed to graduate next December. A month ago I got a letter from Cal Grant saying this was my last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego. Gallego, taking 12 units each semester, has made the dean's list while working part time to support her family. In terms of completed units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior. The Cal Grant is only good for four years, but Gallago has about another year until graduation. "I don't know what I'm going to do next semester," said Gallago. Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She takes advantage of a veteran's grant, however she lost her grant because she made too much money at work. "It's a lose/win situation. I don't make enough money to live comfortably, but then if I make enough See AID, page 3 INSIDE News Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Campus groups gather for peace BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Peace was celebrated at CSUSM—in spite of several obstacles—when PAN and the College Democrats hosted the first annual Peace Picnic on the lawn in front of the library on November 10. Student groups such as, College Democrats, PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association (WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng with community groups such as Code Pink and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice to provide students with more information on ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers. "The picnic was an effort to embrace peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN.

The letter also addressed students' concerns about the forum held regarding policing practices on campus held on November 4, which Haynes was scheduled to attend. Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum President Haynes changed" switching from a forum, to a discussion of an "incident-specific event" and that is why she could not attend. The students said that Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why Haynes wasn't there. They said that someone representing Haynes should have attended. "If you support my experience, then you need to listen to my experience and that is not what's happening," said Honey Folk, student and former ASI President. "My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and safety of students, and to also protect their rights and protect the rights of all employees. [Campus] Police are employees in the University and I have to guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes. Another issue the letter C 4 i l K I * !trit\0<k fM ^"Kiiiiiii» ^«iriP*» NOW addressed was that students have a hard time successfully booking appointments with the President. "Students realize that we don't have to sit back and take it. We don't have to wait around for her to decide it's a good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions." The students and Haynes discussed several ways to fix the problem, one of which was a form students can fill out to help schedule meetings more effectively. The students and the Haynes agreed to have a meeting about how to meet, and then to meet on the issues. When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving for another appointment. "I think what we had to say was effective in that we were heard, but not so effective in the sense that we didn't get a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up." HIRING!!!

Having over 300 veterans that attend CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members, Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid. Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with the process. Despite being financially independent of her family, she still finds it difficult to get grants. "I signed up early but still didn't get the grant because my parents made too much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a part of [dependent on] them anymore. But they (financial aid) said until your 24 you're still a part of [dependent on] them," said Solis. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students dependants of their families until they are 24, or married, or are working on their masters/doctoral, or they have a child that they support. "It's not something we get kicks out of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to your Congress. They feel it's the family's responsibility until the student is that specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the financial aid office in response to Solis' concerns. "If a student feels they have special circumstances to their dependency level they can check on the dependency override," said Silman. Dependency override is determined at the campus level. "We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and scholarships that are specifically four years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans. Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans." More information about loans, grants or other financial aid can be found at the Financial Aid Office website at: http:// www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. ing about how there is no racial profiling going on," said Sayf. "Yes they quoted me. The comment I made was that according to the police officers I talked with, this was not a case of racial profiling," Jennings said to the group. Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if the university was asking the newspaper to run a correction. In response, Jennings said that she wasn't misquoted. "It was part of a quote. I did say yes, this was not...," said Jennings stopping mid-sentence. After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San Marcos Police Department. "The President [Haynes] sent out an email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all the information. You represented to the Spring registration i n progress Tuesday, November 16 2004 newspaper that there is no problem here. That is not true," said Sayf. According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained from the CSUSM website along with demographic arrest information obtained from the CSUSM Police Department website, "twice the percentage of black and twice the percentage of Latinos" were arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus. CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore said that comparing arrest and demographic data doesn't account for "a lot of people who come to campus that are not students." Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account for the statistics. "The people who read the story are now getting the impression that his [Williams] race did not enter into the picture, and we know that to be false," said Folk. "And let the record show brothers and sisters, we will not stand for it any longer," added Sayf. The group left Jennings office. Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said, "There is only one way we can all make a difference and that's together." On November 11 a group of students gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis demanding an investigation into campus police practices, and that charges against Jason Williams be dropped. Shortly after noon some 30 students marched from the classroom to the police department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly along the way. The marchers gathered single-file outside the police department and delivered their letters one-by-one to police dispatcher John Frawley who said he would niake sure the chief got them. PEACE, from page 1 could come." The picnic was originally scheduled to happen before the election, but because organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and too high risk. Risk management asked the student organizations to obtain special event insurance (at a cost of about $400) which they attempted to get, but were denied because the event was seen as high risk. The administration then gave the organizers another option; hire a campus police officer to guard the event. "Walls-were put up in front of us when we tried to plan this event," said Mark Web of the College Democrats. "The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when they try to stop student originations from trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas." "It sends a message to the students when we have to have a police officer with a gun at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard. Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic went on as planned. There was BBQ to feed hungry students and plenty of guest speakers all spreading the same message: peace. "This is unbelievable, awesome. I am so excited to see our little university doing Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Lanysha Adams addresses the crowd at the Peace Picnic. something," said Communication major Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were here, this event really opens your eyes." Francine Busby, former congressional candidate, spoke about peace and gave students ideas on how they could become peacemakers. "Each one of us is a peacemaker, and each one of us has to smile at someone everyday.. .peace is something we have to work for," said Busby. Communication major Jason Williams shared a personal story and then told students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have the power to change the country." Executive Director of the College Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace as a Republican JZju^^ "The Republican party fights for peace too," he said "they just don't go about it the way you do." Members of the International Club spoke and read definitions of peace from around the world. "Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina. A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song she wrote. "I feel learning is just not enough, learning about peace is a great start, but what are we going to do after that," said Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for PAN and WSSA for getting students to be activists."

Turns out your water bottle is headed for one hell of a journey. The journey begins when CSUSM's Blue Team is responsible for emptying and sorting of the campus recycling bins. According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the recycling sorting area located behind the Science II building." The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such as accidentally putting a glass bottle into the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are filled. "EDCO is on an on-call basis," said Sullivan. "Since the campus population varies throughout the year, it makes more sense for us than having a regular pick up schedule." When asked if trash in the recycling bins was a big problem for the Blue Team, Sullivan didn't think so. "Once in a while we find a napkin or something in a recycling bin, but I think the percentage of garbage found in the recycling bins is very small," said Sulli- van. EDCO hauls the recyclables to its Escondido sorting facility, where plastic bottles are separated from the aluminum, and each other. EDCO spokesperson George Peterson said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is spread across a large conveyor belt where it is manually sorted." Each type of plastic follows a different path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will become plastic lumber products, recycling and compost bins. EDCO compresses the PET plastic water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in Summerville, Georgia. Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable was proud of his company's achievements in PET plastic recycling. "Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the world," said Gable. Gable went on to say that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of post-consumer recycled PET plastic per year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one pound of carpet; you can imagine how many billions of bottles we're responsible for recycling each year," Gable continued. When asked whether Mohawk was able to acquire as many recyclable bottles as needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride nitely a greater demand than supply, which is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices for post-consumer recycled PET plastic are at the high end right now," Gable said. Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage containers. Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your plastic water bottle may be the carpet under your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET plastic polyester carpets, which can be ordered through their showroom. According to the EPA, carpets made of recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers. If you thought your plastic water bottle came back as a plastic water bottle, you're not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't be made from plastic water bottles. It's too costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it wasn't cost effective. So next time you shove your bottle through that rubber slot, be nice. Your bottle has a long, long way to go. PCSD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed? Sad? Holiday Blues? Help is just down the street...

"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned at CSUSM with real life situations," said Teri Renner, human development senior. "Plus an internship looks fantastic on your resume." Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology alumnus said, "On my quest for looking for a job, all employers that I have talked to want information on my experience. So I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results of my job hunt look promising." The only down side of taking on an internship is that students have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week and the internship must be non-paid to receive academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and done, the attractiveness of an internship may give students that extra umph needed to impress employers.

Maybe you can explain it to me, but why is everyone always trying to be something they aren't? I run into people everyday of my life pretending to be someone else. There is nothing more annoying in my eyes than when people kid themselves into being someone they aren't. Athletes have spent years trying to perfect their game yet for some reason they think they can start rapping or acting on the drop of a basketball. I finally lost my sanity with these wannabe American Idol's when I heard that Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers just made a rap album and now he is out pro- moting it for its November 23 release. Artest has become so consumed with the promotion of his album that he has caused himself extreme exhaustion. He has been so exhausted that he requested a month off from the team so he could rest up. When I heard the news of his request I thought to myself, "Who does this guy think he is?" I mean the NBA season just started and he wants to take time off from his job that he has for only 7 months out of the year so that he can go participate in an extra curricular activity. The Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle didn't take to kindly to the request of Artest and Carlisle benched Artest for 2 games and told him he had to come back and play after the punishment. As I use my magical sports mind and look into the future I can tell you right now that none of his songs will be Grammy worthy because there is a reason why he shoots baskets and not flows. I mean how many athletes have platinum selling records? He won't be the first athlete to be a bust when trying a ng ture.

I am also a student here at Cal State San Marcos on the brink of graduating with my bachelor's degree in History, specifically American History with an emphasis on the American Indian experience. I am not of Native blood; in fact, I am of Irish, English, German, and Norwegian descent. I attended Palomar College after high school to pursue a career in fashion design. The classes I wanted were unavailable and so on a whim I took a class in archaeology and a class in American Indian studies. My life, who I am today and who I will become, began that semester. While working toward my associate's degree in archaeology^ met many wonderful people of American Indian descent. They were kind enough to share their experiences, beliefs, opinions, and laughter with me, giving me a perspective of the Native American community that could never be gleaned from the pages of academia. Upon transferring to Cal State San Marcos, I heard of the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). I met some students who were members of this club in one of my American Indian History classes and thought that it would be interesting t a join and meet people of American Indian descent who were my own age so that we could discuss contemporary Indian issues. I thought that maybe I could help bridge the gap between archaeologists and Native Americans by answering questions that they may have had regarding archaeology, and by asking questions regarding their feelings of archaeology. The gift I received by joining AISA was much more than I could have ever realized. I was honored to assist in the hosting of the Cal State San Marcos Tukwut Powwow for two years, an event that was hosted by AISA in association with CSUSM faculty and staff for 11 years. A powwow is a traditional gathering of people from many diverse American Indian nations to celebrate life and pray for the sick or the deceased. Drum groups and bird singers give the gift of music, dancers in regalia dance for prayer or for competition, modern traditional Native American food such as fry bread is available for sampling, and arts and crafts by Native American vendors can be purchased. The powwow at Cal State San Marcos was a spiritual as well as an educational gathering. It brought the campus community (comprised mostly of non-native students, faculty, and staff) together with the American Indian community. The Cal State San Marcos powwow had become so renowned through the years that Native people from all over the United States also participated in the event. Atfirst,I thought I would simply help pick up trash at the event, but mostly just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of the powwow. However, it became evident quite quickly that this event was one of the most difficult campus events to host, and a 110% participation of all members of AISA and the powwow committee was vital. The bureaucratic red-tape necessary to host this event was enough to drown a nuclear-powered submarine. The cultural intricacies needed to be practiced in order to invite members of the Native American community were intimidating and conflicted with the bureaucratic methods employed by the university. There was never enough money, there were never enough volunteers, and there was a lot of sweat and a lot of tears. The stress was nauseating. The powwow would get started sometime around 10 am on Saturday, the first weekend of October, and fingers would be crossed. The host southern drum group would begin to sing blessing songs as people of all ethnicities started to gather on the soccer field turned powwow arena. Small problems would arise, but with so many brilliant minds gathered in one place a solution would be found promptly and to the liking of all parties involved. Burning sage and fry bread could be smelled, smiles could be seen, laughter could be heard, and tears of pride and tears for those unable to share in this event because of war or death could be f elt People caught up on each other's recent activities, gossip was exchanged, and American Indian culture was taught and discussed to those who had never experienced a powwow before. By the end of the weekend, the exhausted, aching bodies of the volunteers, the dancers, and the vendors were of no significance; for the hearts of all powwow participants had beenfilledto capacity with beautiful memories, new understandings, and pride. These were the gifts that AISA gave to me. I take these gifts of knowledge, of friendship and community, of strength and pride, and of laughter with me as I get ready to leave this university. I know that my life is wealthier from the experiences I have been honored to share with the members of AISA, the members of the powwow committees, and the powwow participants. I have hope that the campus community, namely students of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local Native American community will work together to gather on campus again for the education and the preservation of the American Indian experience. A couple of weeks ago I read something that said, "Why do we terrorize people to show people that terrorizing people is wrong?" Think about it. Here we are as Americans, being the huge hypocrites we all are, justifying the war in Iraq for our security and for our benefit. How nonsensical is that? To begin with, we are going to ask the age old question: Why Iraq? Weren't we targeting Osamafirst?When and why did our attention shift to Iraq? What gives us the right to go and strip another country of their weapons if they've never possessed a threat to us? How would we feel if another country came to the U.S. and started bombing us and saying that they were getting rid of our weapons because we used an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!) in Japan? How do we justify killing innocent women and children just so America remains omnipotent? How many lives is the United States responsible for when we go to war and when we use our weapons of mass destruction? Think about this thoroughly people... what is really the reason for this war? Is it really to secure ourfreedom,well being and our homeland security... or is it just an excuse to have our current President finish off something his daddy couldn't at Desert Storm? Tell me once when Saddam came to this country and started killing us like we are killing Iraqis. I am not siding with Saddam here, don't get me wrong. I am simply trying to state the truth in what most of us refuse to see. If Saddam is really as horrible as he appears to be, aren't we Americans just as bad? Do we not kill people for power? Do we not do the unthinkable to defend what we stand for? Did we not torture Iraqis just for our own sick pleasure? You all know we did. Then why is it that we bitch and moan when they decapitate a soldier when we already starved, raped, sodomized and killed many Iraqis? What is OUR justification? And if we are justifying the Iraq invasion by saying that Saddam was a threat, well then, isn't Fidel Castro a threat? Isn't North Korea's uncontested ruler Kim-Sung a threat too? And back to my point... why did we just let Osama slide by? The truth is he slid by because we lost our "main focus" and targeted Hussein, not because he is a smart and clever little man who knows how to hide well. I mean, if we found Saddam stashed in a hole in the middle of nowhere, why haven't we found Osama since he is constantly parading around sending us videotapes? How can you all sleep at night knowing what's going on. The worse kind of person is the one who refuses to see the truth. Well, then I guess we all must be blind... It's not a question of "God Bless America" anymore. That saying changed a long time ago to "God Forgive America." Myriam Santos santo024@csusm.edu I have always stood by Karen Haynes side even when I did not agree with the way she handled certain situations. Even while Michael Moore ridiculed Karen Haynes on stage I remember telling her I still thought she was a great President. Face it people can be faced with hard decisions and sometimes they chose the wrong path to take. BUT I can no longer stand by her side while she ignores the racial profiling taken place on our campus by our own police! I am saddened by the fact that a President I stood by could be so blind and heartless. What has been happening on this campus is wrong and the fact that she can not see what injustice practices our HORRIBLE CAMPUS POLICE officers are committing makes me question her ability to preside over this University. I hope she makes positive strides to fixes these injustices that have occurred. But then again I might be asking for to much.

The story of Ralphie, his dream of holding that B.B. gun and factors that influence his reality (his parents, his younger brother, his friends, the neighborhood bullies and Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well as the young at heart. Ralphie reminds us that the desire for that one g ift can build to such fervor that the want becomes the passion. Ralphie is undeterred from pursuing this gift although his parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince his teacher in an essay that he is deserving of the gift. Even Santa casts a dark cloud over Ralphie's desire by repeating the impeding mantra. _ Mixed in with Ralphie's hopes are the overtones the BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?" " Elf' is the newest addition to my holiday classics list. Where else can you see a f ull grown, semigood-looking man wearing green tights? The beginning of " Elf' has a strangely familiar claymation feel to it, but once you get beyond that it's definitely a winner. My favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part where Buddy goes to work with his dad. Buddy runs around and around in the revolving door until he pukes (how many times have you so wanted to do that?). And affect some families during the holidays: the search for a Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the neighbor's dogs. Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes through with the gun. And, true to the warnings, Ralphie promptly "shoots" his eye out. The legacy of "A Christmas Story" is not one of personal injury. This film represents how the holidays, although nostalgic, are often mired with realities that are not so fond at the time. From that, we can all relate. then there's the part in the office when Buddy (for no apparent reason) is sitting in the corner on top of a stuffed polar bear. Who comes up with this s tuff? " Elf' brings out the wound-up holiday kid in us all. G et " Scrooged" "Christmas V acation" a nd the phrases that keep us watching every year BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Instead of reviewing this awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that we enjoy every year. "Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie while emptying out a septic tank while wearing a woman's bathrobe that barely covered the family jewels and drinking a beer as well. "Hallelujah holy shit where's the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month club. "Every time Catherine turns on the microwave, I piss my pants and forget who I am for a half an hour," jokes Cousin Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater with a brown mock turtleneck BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer visible underneath. "Honey, why don't you run and get the kid's things, and don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils," said Cousin Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the Griswold's. "It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were anymore hooter, I mean hotter than they are...you can't see the line, can you Russ," said Clark trying to hit on a young saleswoman. And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors next door, "Why is the carpet wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW MARGO!" I remember watching 'Scrooged" in the theater with my Mom and my sister when it first came out. Ever since, I watch it every year from Thanksgiving to New Years at least 10 times. I can honestly say "Scrooged" is the best holiday movie ever made. What makes this movie a holiday classic is that it takes a well known Christmas tale gives it a modern spin and adds Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis Xavier Cross. Who, by the way, has no qualms about firing an employee and cutting the holiday bonus for his faithful secretary, all in the name of saving a few bucks. My favorite scene is with the Ghost of Christmas Present who is dressed like a fairy ballerina with great big sparkly wings. She prances around Frank with her high pitched squeaky voice and beats the crap out of him. The best thing about "Scrooged" is that it teaches us that the holiday spirit should not come just once a year. We need to put a little love in our hearts throughout the whole year. �holiday movies "Planes, Trains a nd Automobiles" 11/16 Psi Chi Meeting 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. UNIV 444 BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer PAN Weekly Meeting 1 p.m, to 5 p.m. UNIV 444 College Republican Meeting 2 p.m* to 6 p.m. UNIV 442 l am Control Meeting 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/17 Association of Computing Machinery Re-Introduction of ACM BBQ 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, Library Plaza "Santa Clause" is coming down the chimney A L L E T he M 1:1% SANTA clause IdST'ata MM! •rat.

Tim Allen becomes the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls off of his roof. What a great story idea! For the next 330 days after Santa kicks the bucket, Allen totally forgets his holiday obligation to the entire world and goes about his merry way. December rolls around (literally) and I love watching Allen gain 100 pounds and try to explain to his doctor why he's put on so much weight. It must be all the sweets and milk he's been eating the past month. The elves are great. They are actually little kids playing elves instead of "little people" who are normally cast for those roles. It's clever, quirky and a little cheesy, but good clean holiday fun. Potty humor for the holidays When the holiday season comes around, one reason I get excited is because Ifinallyget to watch the shows with bad words and crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo" as opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child.

South Park's Christmas specials with BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is a walking, talking, and crapping piece of dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in South Park, despite their religion. In Season Four of South Park, the audience finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his wife who always has a martini in her hand, and his three kids. A Comedy Central interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his mom used to tell him to increase the rate of the potty training process. She used to try and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and get you!" If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.

This angel has no Halo H alo 2 n ow i n stores BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer "Halo" players have been chomping at the bit for more than a year to play "Halo 2," and their chance has finally arrived. When I discovered my roommate had plans to go to the Game Stop in San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick up his reserved copy of "Halo 2," I was convinced he was out of his mind. It turns out, I was wrong. We arrived to a line that spanned -the entire length of the shopping center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous. In fact, the expectations of the gaming industry continue to grow. This forces game creators to pump out new games that are incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally released in an attempt to reap the benefits of the holiday economic boom. In the defense of Bungie, the creators of "Halo 2," the long awaited release of the game has paid o ff yielding a t computer Images courtesy of Bungie Studios. Illustration by Jared Devore graphics masterpiece. I don't think many people would have been satisfied with much less. You can now customize your characters appearance, play with a character from the opposition, and rampage through enemy forces in the warthog. Picture your mom's Hummer with a powerful cannon mounted on top that decimates other vehicles with ease. Another attack vessel that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost. A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a tuibd boost function similar .to a nitrous oxide boost on a car. This feature can be used effectively in escaping dangerous life or death situations. The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker, and pack far more heat in "Halo 2." The most important, and exciting upgrade is the ability to wield two weapons. Now you can charge the opponent like Rambo taking no prisoners. According to IGN.com, Xbox's gaming website, "every h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is deserved, and once you play it, you'll be pressed to agree." The hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up right where Halo left off, adding some interesting plot twists. The most appealing aspect of the game is the immense carnage that you control. I am confident that there is enough fire power in "Halo 2 " to blow President Bush right out of office. This game is a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost non-stop, with the exception of the classes I was forced to attend last week, I can honestly say, "you may be inissing class." In fact, I plan to call in sick to work this weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt to save the human race. The fate of mankind is in my hands; I am sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term, veteran pioneers. The ceremony was held to recognize all the hard work BY SCOTT PHILIPS Pride Staff Writer Police conduct is a growing concern among those who feel they have been unfairly treated by campus police. N An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos University Police. The event was organized by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology department. The Thursday forum had been rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the attendees, she never arrived. The forum started with Williams, telling his side of the events that transpired on the eve of October 20, including the rough treatment he alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims he was never asked for his car registration or insurance, but instead was asked to step out of his vehicle. He said that after being questioned about his ownership of the car, the police started to search the vehicle. "I asked them why they were searching my car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said. He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on Williams. Williams explained that he was going to study for his midterm. Williams went on to state that the officers continued with their search of the car, even after determining that he had not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen knife during the second search of Williams' car. See FORUM, page 2 VOL.

Many students here aren't always fond about finding the perfect teacher who will impact and change the way we feel about school. But, believe it or not, some of the professors here on campus do just that. Have you ever walked out of class feeling like you came out a better, stronger, wiser person? That a professor impacted the way you believe and see things? Well if you have, here is your chance to show your appreciation. The CSU system awards the CSU Wang Family Award each year. This award is designed to recognize faculty who have distinguished themselves by making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students. Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are honored for their dedication to serving students needs. Not only in the classroom but also for efforts above and beyond what is expected of them. The qualifications are based on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ- Tuesday; November 9 2004 CSUSM hasfinallynamed our mascot- "Crash the Cougar." "CSUSM has never officially purchased a real cougar mascot, ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President of Communications Roy Lee. As of October 21, the students at Cal State San Marcos voted on the name Crash to represent our cougar mascot. Before "Crash the Cougar," the CSUSM mascot was given a local Indian name. The CSUSM mascot was the "Tukwut," which is the local Indian language name for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started calling the mascot a cougar instead of Tukwut. "Tukwut was our original mascot, not the cougar, but since it meant the same thing, students adopted the cougar instead," said Lee. Students had the option of Photo Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride ing students in their research, community service and recruiting students. These professors contribute and benefit not only students, but also contribute to the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning, research, scholarly pursuits, student support and community contributions. Faculty that are probationary and tenured within the last two years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing Arts and Letters, Natural Sci- ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and Education, Professional and Applied Sciences Fields. Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students can nominate professors for the Wang Award. Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on campus, and should explain why the professor should receive the award, and the relationship the nominating individual has developed with the professor.

But many students were not aware of the naming cougar voting, as well as knowing the real history of our mascot. "It has already been voted on. It was on the same ballot as the Childcare Services Referendum," said Lee. Students have already voted and Crash is the new name for our cougar mascot. "It is now in due time when we will make a better formal announcement regarding the name of our mascot so students are fully aware," said Lee. J . W .

Yeah, my mind is odd like that. Thefirstname that popped into my head was Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work the media. He has experience in battle as he has taken a lot of abuse under the basket. He can also battle mentally as he was in a war of words with Kobe for the past 8-years in La La Land. He would get a lot of support from the male voters 18-35 as that is the core sports viewership. He would win the urban vote as he is a hip hop artist (not a very good one, but he has released some albums). He grew up in a military family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice, which would help him with the military vote. Then as I thought a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles so how could he beat anyone for M1MÍ the presidency. After I realized Shaq wouldn't hack it, Curt Schilling of the World Champion Boston Red Sox popped into my head. This guy has made an art of using the media to promote himself. He would easily get the Republican vote as he went on the campaign trail for President Bush. Schilling has always been a winner as he has been to the World Series three times with three different teams. However, he might piss off a lot of people because he does speak an awful lot about religion and hisbeliefs. Once I realized Schilling wasn't going to cut it, I thought of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is an interesting pick here as he could give "Dubya" a run for his money because they are so similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal a lot of the southern votes as NASCAR is huge in that area and the NASCAR vote was supposed to have an impact on this past election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the son of a legend just like Bush and just like the president he spends a lot of his time going in circles. Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over his words in front of national media like he did several weeks ago when he dropped an F-bomb in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a race car driver? Then I realized I was forgetting about the most influential man in sports history, Michael Jordan. His Airness has been selling the American public more crap than most politicians. I mean this guy has been the spokesman for sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He also has experience in being an actor as he did star in the movie "Space Jam." There is no doubt he is a winner as he won Six NBA titles with the Bulls. I don't believe a sports icon will ever become President but it is interesting to imagine what if, but then again if Arnold and Photo Illustration by JasonEncabo / The Pride Jesse Ventura can become governor who is to say we won't see President Michael Jordan or If you can think of a sports icon let me know by sending an EPresident Shaq. that would make a good president mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

BY JAMARR PATRICK Pride Staff Writer First of all, please let me say that politics can kiss my ass. Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over! Thefirstreason why I am glad that it is over is that I don't have to see these stupid celebrities hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the season is over I canfinallywatch the same episode of "The Real World" thirteen times in a row without having it interrupted with an "important" message from Eminem telling me to vote. Why on Earth would I listen to a person who has never voted? He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political wild hair up their asses and they want to go preach to the masses about voting? You know what all these celebrity endorsements did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zero. I have been registered to vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy giving me a free "Vote Or Die!" t-shirt had nothing to do with it. I, like a whole lot of others, know that you are supposed to vote if you want to make a change. Another reason why I'm glad the political season is over is that now I don't have to walk down the street and see my neighbors front yard decorated like a pack of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to vote for whoever they think is the best candidate. Speaking of candidates, no longer will my Jerry Springer political season. I think you can commercials be filled with lame cut a year's worth of begging and candidates talking about how mudslinging down to about two they want to make a change and days. Run it all on public access blah, blah, blah. Now I can get for 48 hours—all the commercials, good old fashioned commercials all the celebrity endorsements, all for institute of higher learning the crappy party benefit concerts like U.E.I. with people that we thought were All the political season is good dead, all of it two days in a row for is people begging. Begging no breaks in-between—and call it you, urging yoji to vote for Prop- "Poli-palooza." osition "This" and don't vote for My final reason why I hate Prop. "That." I really do hate the the political season is because it just gives people that think their party or cause is right, over a year to be complete jerks about it. In non-election years people are pretty calm about their presidential affiliation. Once it's an election year you get these same people that are out for the opposition's blood. It's like they might as well have had t-shirts made that said "Bush Or DIE!" on them or "Kerry Or DIE!"(Take your pick). Hey if you want to E VERY W EDNESDAY f 80 s Mi#it w/ act crazy then don't wait for an election year, just be crazy from the start so that I know not to talk or get near you. Anyway, no more politics on every channel means now we can concern ourselves with more important information—like who Paris Hilton is dating this week.

Now I was going to be the laughing stock of the voter world. To my amazement, when I arrived all I saw were "W '04" shirts in line. I had always been under the impression that you weren't supposed to make your candidate choice known. In my childhood, I would always ask my mom who she was going to vote for and she would respond, "Ryan, its illegal to discuss this information." Now I know she just didn't want to talk to me. So even though all these people broke the voting etiquette, I wasn't about to break my voter poker face. After ten minutes of sitting in line listening to the elder voter with his dog behind me preach- ing religion (needless to say we all know who he voted for), he decided to throw a vocal blow my way. Someone asked him, "Hey is your dog voting Bush today, too?" and he responded with, "I wish. He'd probably make a more educated decision then some of the young voters we got here." I sat, quiet, contemplating a clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the candidates and the issues, but the best I could come up with was the sarcastic statement, "I highly doubt that, sir." I finally made it to the front of the line. By this time I was a mess, I could have signed my name with the sweat off my palms. I checked in, walked to the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like a pro. I looked over at the elder voter who so rudely judged me, and was happy to see he needed to be aided with the electronic ballot. I softly muttered, "Get with the times," under my breath, finished, and walked away proud with my "I Voted" sticker. Another eighty miles later I found myself back in class, a new person; I was no longer a voting virgin. The next day when I woke up tofindBush the winner, I felt like most people do after theirfirsttime, completely disappointed.

As I walked through the front door that afternoon I couldn't help biit shudder as thoughts of my mom telling me to vote for Nader and my father telling me to vote for Bush resonated in my head. It's tough being the only Kerry supporter in my household. Then I got to the polls and, lo and behold, all of my information was different. On my misspelled name, I had no party affiliation and then on my correctly spelled name, I was registered as an absentee voter. They almost wouldn't let me vote and I had to convince them that I never registered as an absentee voter nor did I receive an absentee ballot.

Maybe it should be palled the "Moshing Turtle." I was incredibly impressed with the atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it reminded me of being in some artsy San Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe, but it was a lot louder due to the live music. The Friday that I checked out the bar, four bands played. I liked the second band, called "Fith," because they sounded like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus. Other than music for entertainment, there are also two pool tables (equipped with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find for me). The $2.50 long-island drink specials were definitely achieving their goal; they were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There was also pineapple or orange to choose from. Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all draft; they range from Johnny Courage brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in San Marcos. The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM) was the cover charge at the door. I'm not a big fan of cover charges, but it was only five dollars and the drink specials were satisfying, so I got over it. The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20 girls there, the rest of the 40 people were all guys; it was a sausage fest. This is my kind of bar : I'm a cute, single, and 21-yearold girl, by the way. 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/11 PreLaw Society Meeting 8 a.rrt. to 9:30 p.m. LIB 3013 Veterans Association Barbeque 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Forum Plaza Priority Christian Challenge General Meeting 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. ARTS 240 Panhellenic 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 301 11/12 Anime toroject.m.

If" BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer "'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because he has defined "The Grudge" better in one sentence than I could do in one page. The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr. The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the task of discovering the history of the haunted house. Do not let the simplicity (or the former vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't care how accustomed you think you are to horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet, you will be looking over your shoulder for days after you leave the theatre. "The Grudge" is fused with suspense and technology. This is the first horror movie I've seen where ghosts are appearing on video cameras and cell phones, with the BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures background of Toyko, which is futuristic in itself. Although the movie trailers assert that the stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller and Bill Pullman, the character development is slim to none and you willfindthat no one character is more important than another. I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will conclude with this, as just thinking about this movie for my review is giving me chills and I amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder in panic. Tear off your own head The "Saw" doesn't cut it as a psychohorror flick BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Maybe I set the bar too high before viewing the movie "Saw." The movie had extreme potential and could have shaped up to be a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect. "Saw" is about a killer who selects "worthy" victims and puts them into bizarre situations. The victim is left with little time to make life or death decisions. The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens Photos courtesy of Lion Gate Films. to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men are chained on both sides of the room. In between the two men is a dead body with a gunshot wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of blood. This is one hell of an opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a young man named Adam (Leigh Whannell) must figure out how to escape, using the few clues that the killer has left them. This includes two saws, too weak for the chains, but just sharp enough for human flesh. The following scenes take you through the path that leads to the connection these two men have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing, the scenes lack that "umph" that would classify this movie in the realms of "Se7en". The movie takes us through a series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only feel sympathy for our charac- ters because of the situation they are put in. There is no character development and the acting is unconvincing. There are many parts where the suspense is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often the surprise never comes. I was hoping for a strong performance from Cary Elwes after a long departure from the big screen, but was not impressed with his overacting in many scenes. I would only recommend seeing this movie if you are truly into psychopathic thrillers. Even then, you might be let down because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your chance and maybe you will get more out of "Saw" than me, but let's just say "I told you so " . , A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit stores November 2. A collection of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about war, peace, love and greed." The band has diversified their music, and fan base with this new album. One of the tracks, "Imagine" is a John Lennon song that speaks of a fictitious world without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs by classic groups such as; Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks" (made famous by Led Zeppelin), Depeche Mode's "People Are People," Devo's "Freedom Of Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's Have A War," Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle And The Drum," and the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding," The album will definitely appeal to those who enjoy some of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans will feel slightly cheated. There is original material on this album. Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old? Probably not! A Perfect Circle was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their own dark, rhythmic, and heavy sound. We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band attempting to branch out and reach a more diverse fan base with an abstract new album. Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative, citing Eminem's appearance on the album to be, "embarrassing." A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit apprehensive to buy this album due to the large number of cover songs contained in the album. However the album's message is to be considered as it comes to our nation at afittingtime of war and uncertainty. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Annual Tukwut Powwow cancelled On Thursday November 4, an open forum will be held regarding the CSUSM Police Department's procedures amid recent concerns following the arrest of a student. The forum will be from 4-6. p.m. in ACD 102. According to the event's organizer, Professor Sharon Elise, the purpose of the forum is, "to find out what kind of special training the campus officers have so that we do not replicate the problems of racial profiling and harassment that those in my discipline have documented among police generally in this country." The forum is being held in response to the October 20 arrest of African-American student Jason Williams on Campus Drive. According to Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, Williams was pulled over by officers shortly after midnight for failure to stop at a stop sign. As a result of the traffic stcTp, Williams was arrested on felony suspicion of violation of penal code 626.10 which prohibits "any dirk, dagger* ice pick, or knife having afixedblade longer than twoand-one-half inches upon the grounds of, or within, the California State University." "I and several of my colleagues are upset by what we have heard regarding the details of the officers' conduct and the charges, based on our own very positive experiences with the student whose academic career stands threatened by this incident," said Elise regarding the arrest. CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis and Assistant Chief Woodard were unavailable for comment by press time. Citing legal reasons Williams declined comment at this time. University President Karen Haynes is scheduled to attend the forum. Professor Elise is hopeful that representatives from the NAACP and ACLU will also appear. According to Elise, CSUSM Police Chief Schultheis has been invited to the event but has yet to confirm.

Reasons for the cancellation of this year's event include lack of money and participation. The time change going into winter forces the sun to go down aroundfiveor six o'clock, so generators are almost necessary to have a true powwow. There wasn't enough money to power generators for this year's powwow. "The total amount of members has decreased by an estimated 50percent over the past couple years," said AISA faculty advisor E.A Schwartz. Student participation in the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the organization on campus that sponsors the event, Variety Photo courtesy of American Indian Studies Association. Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride Photo of Tukwut Powwow 2003. has also been declining in recent years. Schwartz says that the students who are still involved with AISA regret the Tukwut powwow cancellation this year, but that it was not a feasible task this year with the amount of people participating. A similar type of situation has been occurring at Palomar College. Recently they have had to cancel their powwow due to a lack of student participation. Cal State San Marcos Faculty mem- bers David Whitehorse, Bonnie Biggs and Schwartz were the originators of this festival in the early 1990's; the first official powwow was heid in 1992.

Initially, the Tukwut Powwow was a group of people sharing stories, thoughts, and ideas. It was originally called "American Indian Story-Telling." The powwows were prepared and presented by the foculty until 1999. This is when the students created the American Indian Student Alliance. The Native Studies program at CSUSM was recently developed in 2002. Biggs said that in the past these events were willed to happen, "because of love". She said it typically took about four to six months of preparing and planning to make past powwows go off without a hitch. More information about the American Indian Student Alliance or the powwow can be found at the AISA homepage at http://www.csusm.edu/ powwow/aisa/. it's going to change anyway. Sulpizio said that it is always important to stay honest with oneself and to make sure one trusts the company they work for whole heartedly, or start looking elsewhere for a job. Sulpizio emphasized that he "puts on his pants one leg at a time" just like everyone else. He said giving back to his community has always been at a priority for him. Sulpizio pointed to the $1 million donation Qualcomm made six years ago for the CSUSM library as an example. The contribution helped speed up the completion of the library for students. Students in the class seemed to enjoy Sulpizio as a speaker. "It was cool to see someone so humble and down to earth in that kind of position," said business major Lucas Dalager. Dalager said he felt that Sulpizio was the best speaker yet. Sulpizio started working for Qualcomm in 1991 and he retired from his position as CEO in 2001. Since retirement Sulpizio has served as a board member for Qualcomm where he recently hired international presidents of Qualcomm in China and parts of Europe. leadership breakfast held Professors Pillai and Kohles speak about presidential leadership BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Today as students head to the polls to decide who will be our president, leadership ability is one of the qualities they will be looking for in the candidates. Presidential leadership was the topic under discussion at the breakfast seminar titled "Charisma Under Crisis: Presidential Leadership Before and After 9/1" that was held on October 27 at 7:30 a.m. in the Field House. Rain could not keep 50 student, faculty, and community members from participating in the fourth breakfast seminar put on by the College of Business Administration and the Center for Leadership Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). This topic was discussed by the Executive Director of CLIMB Rajnandini Pillai as well as Director and CLIMB founding member Jeffrey C. Kohles.

Information presented was based upon student surveys, analysis of presidential speeches, and analysis of media coverage. Those in attendance seemed to enjoy the event. "I thought both speakers were charismatic, though Pillai's usage of comedy made her a little more charismatic on a student level," said CSUSM student and President of the Accounting Society Daniel Dollar. The seminar enticed a few local community members to get involved since it was advertised in local newspapers. "I've always been interested in the subject of leadership," said Marine Corps soldier Michael Taylor. "This is just another venue I've come to see the matter discussed. One of the first things you learn in the service is what it means to lead. But honestly, leadership is common to other areas. There are common principles that can be applied to any situation." Pillai was pleased to see members of both the university and community attending the seminar. "In a nutshell, we are trying to reach our internal and external community," said Pillai. "We are trying to accommodate their needs by getting good speakers and identifying student leadership. We're trying to offer training leadership programs to local businesses and we hope to have mentoring opportunities for students." CLIMB began offering the seminars last year. "What we would like to do is have one or two a semester," said Dean of the College of Business Administration Dennis Guseman. "They're really targeted for the local businesses, current students, and the overall community. We're very excited about CLIMB as a vehicle to reach out to the community as well as the university. I expect many great things to happen under the leadership of Dr. Pillai," said Guseman Guseman encourages the public to contact him with ideas about topics they would like to see addressed at upcoming seminars. He is also interested in getting more local businesses connected with the program and the college. Guseman can be reached by phone at (760) 750-4242 or via email at dguseman@csusm.edu.

It is something that many students do not consider because it is perceived as expensive and/or time consuming for those who are on strict graduation schedules. Cal State San Marcos sends about 13 - 15 students per year to several countries such as China, Spain and United Kingdom. Despite the costs there are benefits for students who participate in the program. "It sets you apart on your resume," said Study Abroad advisor Jan Stockey during last Wednesday's Study Abroad informational meeting. One of the most prominent programs offered on campus is CSU's International Program which offers a variety of 100 academic majors at 70 different universities spread throughout 18 countries. It is offered throughout the CSU system to give students the opportunity to experience learning in a different educational setting as well as learning a new culture. The program is a year long program that truly enables students to immerse themselves into a different culture. Often students will live on campus for one semester in order to familiarize themselves with different people and the different customs; then live off campus next semester. "People get nervous, 'Oh, I don't want to get an apartment,' but it's really simple," said former Study Abroad student Lily Chu who studied in China in 2003-2004. Several other study abroad programs are offered on campus such as the Exchange Program which allows students to "trade places" with other students from host countries such as France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Students of different countries are given a chance to switch places to learn about each other's countries. They have a choice as to whether or not they will stay for a semester or the whole academic year. Cal State San Marcos also offers summer study programs, which are short-term programs of four weeks. Students are also able to apply to other study abroad programs offered at other CSU programs as well as non-CSU sponsored programs. However, the program must be preapproved by CSUSM. Students studying abroad under an approved program receive full credit for the work. The application process for studying abroad is intensely competitive requiring a panel interview, 2.75 GPA (some may require a 3.0), specific course work, as well as an essay. Fewer than 1000 students from all 23 CSU campuses apply for these programs each year. CSUSM study abroad advisors offer a helping hand to guide students thorough the process. "We try to prepare you for the interview. We try to give you information in advance," said Stockey. Financial resources are available for students who are interested in participating. Most students who study abroad really enjoy the experience. "It's so much fun, I want to go back," said Chu* For more information on study abroad programs on campus visit www.csusm.edu/uga/studyabroad. htm. DEBATE, from page 1 President Bush's polices on Iraq, the economy, and the environment. "George Bush is an incompetent president and he needs to be voted out of office. He's misled this country into an illegal war. He's run up the largest deficit in the history of the world. He's got us on an ecological policy that has us on the road to disaster," he said. Bunch urged the audience to vote for Kerry by touting the senator's education and record of public service. "John Kerry is a career public servant. John Kerry is a deep thinker. He's openminded. A vote for John Kerry is a vote for the future," said Bunch Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Larry Greenfield, argued for the reelection of President George Bush. "The Bush doctrine said 'You're with us or against us in the war on terror.' Clinton knew we were going to need regime change in Iraq. You can't keep kicking the can down the street forever," said Greenfield about President Bush's foreign policy. He disputed assertions made by Bunch about the war College Democrats, College Republicans and PAN urge students to vote Three clubs, one election. No matter how much the views of the CSUSM political clubs differ, they all are promoting voter awareness and participation in this year's election. The three political clubs on campus are the College Republicans, the College Democrats and the Progressive Activist Network (PAN). Each club has done their part to increase the number of voters from the 18-26 age group by handling out flyers and setting up tables where students can register to vote. " "No matter what side you're voting for, my hope is that people our age will stop being apathetic. Because I think we're underrepresented and it's statistically shown," said Progressive Activist Network President Julie Bennington. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi is optimistic about the results of recent efforts to increase voter turnout. "I definitely believe we (young voters) will be voting more in this election and it's mainly from Sept 11. If I had to guess, it's possible a 20 percent increase just from our generation," said Bonomi. The clubs have also promoted their political views about current issues to inform student voters. PAN and the College Republicans have been the most active clubs this year, sponsoring two debates on campus as well as the showing of politicalfilms. The College Democrats club is rather new on campus and is growing with the increasing number of student Democrats on campus. "I was approached by a few people this semester willing to actively participate in the club and really wanting to get out the main message to the students of the Democratic Party. We've taken a very public role this semester within the campus because of the need to really inform and educate the campus community of the election and what could happen with the outcome of this election," said President of the CSUSM College Democrats Dustin Lacasse in Iraq. "You're wrong, my friend, about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We found sarin and anthrax, and we found the missiles which could deliver it," said Greenfield. Greenfield also levied criticisms of Senator Kerry's activism during the Vietnam War as well as of his Iraq policy. "While our troops were being tortured, he (Kerry) met with the enemy not once but twice in Paris. Then he came and testified on thefloorof the US Senate and said that we were the army of the Genghis Khan," said Greenfield. "He now says he'll lead us to victory in a war he doesn't even believe in. I don't trust Senator Kerry." At 11:15 a.m. when the debate began, there were approximately 50 people who Students observe the debate. Clubs promote voter awareness BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Photos by Daniel Lowe / The Pride When asked which presidential candidate each club was supporting, responses primarily went along party lines. "Our club (College Democrats) supports Senator John Kerry because he supports more equality within the states and has more distinctive plans on the outcome of Iraq," said Lacasse Most members of PAN also support Kerry in the election. "Our club doesn't really support any candidate. We're comprised of a lot of different views. PAN doesn't endorse any political party/But in this year's election, the majority of our members support Senator John Kerry," said Bennington. The College Republicans are advocating the re-election of President Bush. "Our club obviously supports President George W. Bush because of his tax policy which would help the lower, middle and upper class people, he's rock hard as in he does what he says and he's a very compassionate person because he's a pro-life candidate," said Bonomi. showed up to watch. By the time the event ended around 1 p.m. the crowd had grown as many on campus stopped to watch the debate as they were walking by. The debate showed not only how divided Greenfield and Bunch were on the issue, but also how divided the audience was. Some audience members clapped enthusiastically for Greenfield, while others rallied for Bunch. A few in the audience had a hard time containing their response to speakers' statements. As Larry Greenfield was speaking a person from the crowd yelled, "You trust Bush? You're nuts." The heckler later identified himself as Mark Evereklian, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. "Some say it is wrong to interrupt a speaker while he is speaking, but I disagree. I feel it is wrong to sit idly by and listen to what both the speaker and myself know are lies. Anyone who dares stand at a podium should have a story that at least comes close enough to the truth that the audience will be able to stomach his rhetoric without having uncontrollable outbreak of unwanted rage," said Evereklian WANTED my* l l f 1 mh ! l# fill INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 -$17.00 per hour Call.

For the love of dance and hip-hop, Jam Control offers a student club experience and as free dance lessons with a taste of soul all at the same time. Dance routines range from jazz to hip hop depending on the choreographers' styles. Thus far, the group has learned one routine per week, six routines since the beginning of this semester. The group was originally started by a couple of students looking for an outlet on campus. With their shared love for dancing, the group originally went by the acronym J.A.M. C.O.N.T.R.O.L (Justifying Artistic Movement Collaboration of New Talent Realizing Our Love) was given birth to in the spring semester of 2003. Now simply called Jam Control, the name represents the very essence of the group. Dancers from every step joined Jam Control to showcase the talent that existed on campus. Yet, like almost any other club on campus, the atten- Pfaoto courtesy of Jam Control Edgar Agapay, Phil Hunyh and other Jam Control participants work on a dance routine. dance just wasn't there. Luckily, the group was revived by RJ Omabtang, Phil Hunyh and Edgar (Doodz) Agapay who have taken the group to higher heights with their continuous support and enthusiasm. For some apparent reason, regardless of how exhausted they are, the dancers and choreographers still are able to cheer when they learn new routines. It's just amazing to see at least 25 individuals share such passion and desire to learn fresh steps. Yet, the routines can be a little intimidating, especially if you've never been in a dance troupe or your high school airband. "You can be a person who can't dance or you can be a pro, everyone gets love here," Agapay said. Regardless, the atmosphere is still welcoming. The sessions are always open for instruction and questions. The choreographers are willing to go over the routine to make sure each person is caught up. Eventually, the group hopes to kick it up a notch and perform or join dance competitions.

These are just a few facts to describe the devastation of the fires that took place last year, October 25-31,2003. The San Diego Natyral History Museum has put together an outstanding exhibit called "Earth, Wind & Wildfire." The exhibit utilizes objects, videos, photographs and interactive displays with the intent of educating people about the responsibility of living in a fire-dependent place. The importance of fire knowledge and fire safety was escalated last year. The curator of the exhibit, Dr. Anne Fege, has done a wonderful job creating an exhibit that is effective for all ages. There are interactive exhibits where children can put on costumes of native animals, a mural of the fire cycle, and an exhibit that adults and children alike can learn how to build a fire-wise home and even rate their own homes for fire safety based on the materials used in construction. Stunning images of our natural surrounding habitat line Photo by Jared Devore / The Pride the walls of the exhibit. It is reported that more than 2200 plant species and 490 bird species have been recorded in these diverse natural habitats affected by the fires. The exhibit gives us the opportunity to learn more about these affected species and knowledge about living in coexistence with nature where wildfires are a threat. Moving images display the sheer power and destruction of these fires. Images of communities burnt to the ground, breathtaking images from high above the burn areas and even original melted glass out of people's homes made into sculptures in remembrance of this event are a few things that you can expect to see at the exhibit. A main feature of the exhibit contains an enormous projection screen that puts the power of the fires into perspective. The quickness with which the wildfires spread last year is testament to the importance of this exhibit. Many students at CSUSM were directly affected by the fires and some indirectly affected by the fires with the cancellation of classes and the terrible smoke that permeated the sky. There is really something for everyone at the "Earth, Wind & Wildfire" exhibit which opened on the anniversary of Firestorm 2003, October 26,2004 and will run through October 2005. Three CSUSM students have taken the initiative to make a difference within our campus community. Julie Bennington, Sarah Leonard and Mark Weber are putting together a peace picnic for students, staff, faculty, and the community. "The peace picnic is an effort to increase peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard. "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of % serenity is just what we need" said Leonard serenity is just what we need. We want to promote peace and raise issues of equality, health care, gay marriages and genocides to inform and engage everyone's opinions." The peace picnic will feature speakers from different clubs here on campus. Each club will be speaking about current topics that are affecting our community. Because people interpret peace differently, getting a glimpse of what others see will broaden our horizons. "The goal is promote peace, and to understand the different interpretations of peace for different cultures," Leonard said. The International Club, Black Student Union, Progressive Activist Network, College of Democrats and Republicans, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender and Women's Studies Student Association are a few clubs and organizations that will be speaking about different aspects of diversity, equality and peace. "We really want to break the barrier of being commuter school. We really want to reach out to the campus community," Bennington said. The peace picnic was originally scheduled on October 27 but due to rain it will now take place on November 10 in front of the Kellogg library grass field. Free food will also be offered during this picnic. This event is open to all students, staff, faculty and the rest of the community. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, his classes are very interesting. Schneider was born in Argentina, while his parents were on a missionary expedition. He spent his childhood in Billings, Montana. He lived in Montana until he attended Colorado State University to get his bachelor's degree and then master's degree in Sociology. After receiving his master's, Schneider made the journey to southern California to go after his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. It wasn't always sociology in Schneider's educational path. He actually started as a pre-veterinarian student. He took an Introduction to Sociology class as an elective and knew right then that this was the field he wanted to study. He changed majors the next semester, even though this meant going against his family's wishes. Schneider has been teaching college students since 1980. While getting his master's at Colorado State, hefinancedhis studies by becoming a teacher's assistant. This is what sparked his passion for teaching. When he made the move to USC, he taught courses like Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Sport as a medical student. After receiving his doctorate in sociology he began to teach at CSU Los Angeles. It was in 1993 that Schneider first became aware of CSU San Marcos. - After leaving USC, he remained in contact with the head chair of the sociology department. She told him that a newer campus was underway in a small community in San Diego. Schneider called Teresa Baker, a former chair of the San Marcos sociology department, to schedule an interview. The rest is history. Since his first day on the job, Schneider has remained in love with this campus. He has always believed in the CSUSM sociology department while sharing the same vision as the three chairs that he has worked with in his eleven years of service. The quality of students on campus has always impressed him because of intellect here on campus. He has taught at different UC's and CSU's, but believes that the intelligence on campus is as strong as any place he has seen. He loves teaching all of the sociology classes because they all satisfy a different niche. However, he feels that Sociology of Sport, Sociology of Violence and Death and Dying are unique to him. Besides Sociology, Schneider has other interests. He is extremely zealous when it comes to his Denver Broncos. He and his wife are very much into equestrian activities. Schneider likes jumping horses, which is called the Hunter-Jumper discipline. Upon his unplanned retirement, he hopes that he and his wife can spend even more time on equestrian. Being married to a vet, it is also no surprise that he has four horses, three dogs, two cats, one guinea pig and an assortment of fish. Another hobby that he really enjoys is cooking. What makes Schneider so likeable? Professor Schneider adds humor to his lecture. It's the fact that Schneider narrows the gap between professor-student relationships. How many teachers do you know who offer their home telephone number in case of school emergencies or just to talk about sports? Something he is very proud of is his continuing relationships with San Marcos students after they graduate. He What if likes to see how CSU San Marcos has shaped their lives and how the university has helped them become successful. Tm ?

BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM's Cougar Athletic Program competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NAIA provides athletic programs for 57,000 studentathletes that represent 333 institutions. Cougar participation marks a national arena for CSUSM athletes. CSUSM anticipates fielding competitive athletic teams for years to come. The athletics program at CSUSM has various club teams, but currently CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports with both men's and women's teams: golf in the fall and spring, cross country in the fall and track and field in the spring. Student-athletes will compete in golf and track and field, traveling to competitions throughout the region and hoping to repeat and improve upon national successes from last year. Last year, the men's golf team received fifth place nationally and the women's team received tenth place nationally. Track andfieldis doing just as well with many athletes being named Ail-American at NAIA nationals. CSUSM offer scholarships for these intercollegiate athletes and hopes by expanding the athletic program, more scholarships will be offered attracting student's athletics to CSUSM. At this time, a decision has not been made on which sport will be added next to CSUSM's intercollegiate athletics program (NAIA), but several are being considered. However, the expansion of sports programs revolves around many key factors including sustainable funding and availability of onsite facilities. The athletics program is committed to offering lifetime sports to students and offers club team sports for equal participation. The following club sports are being offered from expansion: soccer, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The NAIA league selects schools with high commitment to academics as well as competitive athletics. CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR DRINKING? ¡f^HH ì fit MUSIC HOUSE Are you 21 - 65 years old?

Bush BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer can't even imagine what our world would be like if Bush is re-elected and nothing changes. We have made a mess in Iraq. I don't expect things to get better immediately but I feel that Kerry will begin to clean things up. Kerry will start fighting the war on terror as it was intended to be fought; against terrorists, not oilrich countries. He has promised to change the way the rest of the world views America and rebuild relationships with allies that Bush has destroyed. We are living in an industrialized country that doesn't even provide basic health care for its citizens. I believe health care is a right every American is entitled to and that it is possible to keep quality health care and still make it accessible. Kerry has a way to cut the costs of premiums and prescription drugs and developed a healthcare plan that will be available to everyone. As a woman, I feel choosing Kerry was important, because he supports women's issues as well as the right to choose. Although I may never choose to exercise most of my rights, I don't think it is the government's responsibility to take them away from me. Kerry also believes in protecting woman's health rights and closing the pay gap. It's been forty years since the civil rights movement and I think the current administration is working hard to undo many of the things the movement accomplished. For example, Bush ended affirmative action which not only benefited minorities, but also women. Kerry understands the benefits of affirmative action and will most likely reinstate it so that everybody is given a fair chance. Bush is also trying to instate a constitutional amendment that will prohibit gay couples from having any rights. We cannot allow an amendment to be added that would promote discrimination and intolerance. Kerry supports domestic partnership which would allow gay couples, rights similar to that of a married couple. The Social Security system is in trouble, and although Bush has a plan fix it, Kerry wants to change the system and develop something that will actually exist when I need it. I feel that Kerry is aware of the problem and will insure that I will benefit from a system I've been paying into my whole working life. Kerry also has a unique approach to the 'war on drugs' that will change the way non-violent drug offenders are punished. The current punishment is jail, but Kerry believes that prevention and treatment are a much more effective way to stop drug use. By treating drug offenders first, prisons will be less crowded and there will be a decrease in the number of repeat offenders. I believe that voting makes a difference, which is why I voted for Kerry because I believe he will change things. for the foreseeable future. I believe that Bush and his cabinet have much more experience in dealing with the Middle East, and have a much better chance of sons. This is not to say I creating a sovereign counam a diehard Bush sup- try and democracy in Iraq. porter, rather it is my feel- I don't feel that Kerry has ing that Bush edged out a strong enough commitKerry for the following ment or character to handle reasons.

Bush has proposed an energy program that if passed by Congress will lower our future need for oil. Also by making energy an issue, Bush is addressing the Corporate A verage Fuel Economy ( CAFE) to improve gas mileage in SUV's, vans and trucks. Republican or Democrat, nobody could have predicted the September 11 tragedy that killed thousands of people and crashed our economy. It's been a long and tedious job to improve our economy, and if you look at the numbers, we are improving. In the past year, our gross domestic product (GDP) has grown almost 5 percent. In just over a year, 1.5 million jobs have been created, and the national unemployment rate is at 5.4 percent which is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. When it comes to Vice President Cheney, I feel he is very intelligent and has more experience in business and foreign affairs than Kerry or Edwards. The Bush cabinet as a whole, in my opinion is strong and I feel they will provide excellent counsel to Bush in this very stressful and dangerous time in our history. In particular, I feel Bush and his cabinet are more capable of protecting America's homeland, and have more potential to resolve the problems in Afghanistan and Iraq. In writing this, I know that the majority of students on campus are probably for Kerry. I think that's fine as long as you vote. What I don't like is when people regurgitate Michael Moore or Fahrenheit 9/11 and can't come up with other reasons to vote for Kerry. The year 2004 has definitely been the year of bashing Bush, and bash away, as long as you have solid reasoning as to why Kerry would be better. Photo courtesy of America (The Book) Don't you hate pet peeves? BYMICHELLE ROBINSON For The Pride Last week it rained so hard that I couldn't even form an opinion. With what sensational media may dub as "Rainstorm 2004" underway, I was stuck in my room. Soon, I was stuck in my head. I was cleaning out the old memories, cobwebs of ideas that I started and gave up on, dissecting old boyfriends, and soon enough, I stumbled onto the pile of pet peeves that I swore I would never drudge up again. As far as the rain goes, I've no complaints, except that people tend to "wear" the weather. It's raining, yes, so I suppose the scowl is all apart of the galoshes and scarf ensemble, no? Whatever happened to splashing and enjoying what is a southern Californian rarity? One rainy morning, I decided that I had to go somewhere, regardless of the weather and I came across another pet peeve I have: people who lose their keys. My friend, a CSUSM graduate who is, in many respects brilliant and responsible, loses her keys as if every time she does, Brad Pitt kisses her and an angel gets their wings. It happens so much that I do believe I black out a little bit. I feel as if I'm Richard Gere in the movie Unfaithful. I say nothing the first time I hear the faint whinny of "Where are my keys?" as she sifts through her purse, shaking it, moving change from one side to the other. I mumble the words, "I'm not feeling well." I just hope that there are no snow globes around because. I dislike people losing their keys every time just that much. Once she finds her keys, we are off.

Keep in mind; the writer's get their assignments on Tuesday night. That gives a writer a whole Wednesday to get the stories, Now, the Editors would likely tell ya that this is a weekly publication and so the news can't be all that current On top of that, the writers are assigned stories for the most part, and this is not a paper where journalists' find the news; they're told to pick from amongst the list (that the editors provide mind you) and write on the subject Or, maybe they'd just say that this school is really that friggin' dull. But, I'm not buying the hypothetical arguments that I put in their mouths^ As I see it, this paper suffers from a lack of trust. Our two Editors-in-chief don't trust the writers to do research, sniff around and find letter from the editors Dear fellow students, faculty and administration, The Pride would like to thank each and every one of you for voting today.

Election worthwhile stuff to write upon. They don't trust them to be journalists. I suppose I don't blame 'em, I wouldn't trust anyone to find a worthwhile story by Thursday afternoon that's gonna be relevant on Tuesday's print. Hold on a tick! Maybe, that's the problem. Why oh why do our writers get less than 48 hours to turn up a story, and our editors get 64 hours to put the paper together?

When we end up with beam signing, I don't blame the people on the frontline, unlike the former Mayor of New York. I blame the Generals.

As proof positive of the irrelevance of the 'news,' I was informed in my evaluation that "some readers say [the] Ombudsman column is the first thing they read." I'm flattered, and saddened. All I do is write about this newspaper, I ain't one of the people who make this a newspaper. The heroes that are subjected to carpal-tunnel are the names under the heading 'Staff Writers.' My name ain't amongst 'em. And they should be the first ones to be read every time. But, even with good writers, who wants to read about events that have less people show up than are in some classes?

On a side note, in that same evaluation I was informed that my "use of slang, colloquialisms, and aggressive criticism" are what some people don't jive with.

Case in point - the manipulation of public opinion by Fox News. If these lies were spread by the CRs and they go unpunished, what is to stop them from lying again? And what's more loving, the parent who never punishes a child's transgressions, or the parent who disciplines a child to teach them that intentionally lying for political gain is not within the parameters of acceptable social conduct? Whether or not the CRs spread these lies, the important thing to remember on Election Day is that these lies were spread by Republicans. Think about this! All we've been hearing from Republicans this year is that Kerry is a liar who will say anything to get elected. Apparently two can play that game. This begs the question, "Who's telling the truth?" Obviously not Bush propagandists at CSUSM. Here's another thing to chew on. Who owns the organizations feeding you, "objective news?" Liberals? I wish. No, very rich, very white, very conservative men (www.fair.org). What's their agenda? To perpetually increase profits. How? By sticking to just the facts and talking about policy specifics? No. By employing hyperbolist spin doctors who tell you what to think in between commercials by reiterating trivialities like how likeable Bush is ad infinitum until everyone stops thinking about real news like the growing deficit, environmental destruction or how corporations are dictating government policy to their benefit and the average citizen's detriment. If you want to live your life as a dupe keep believing the talking heads. If you believe truth matters - think for yourself. And when you vote, remember one other important piece of news. Bush lied - and people died (and are still dying)! Erik Roper (eroper@owl. csusm.edu) Alumni, Class of 2004 Dear Pride, Students, and Faculty, In the last few weeks we have had a problem with what I call the vandalization of our school by the right. Bush supporters and anti-student organization activists have been plastering and chalking up the school with bogus messages in a desperate attempt to win your vote. By the time most of you will be reading this however, most of you will have voted. This action taken by the Republicans to spread their message is weak, immature, destructive and out right nasty. I respect people's right to their freedom of speech, especially when questioning school policy, but tagging the school is unacceptable. When PAN, WSSA, College Democrats, faculty and students had a problem with the Michael Moore issue we didn't vandalize the school. We spoke out using the only platform of free speech we had left in this school. (Free Speech Area) I see a deep political slant in this school when action like these remains unpunished and there is little effort to clean up the mess. I thank Mother Nature for the help in cleaning this mess made by the "W street team." Unfortunately we the people are always forced to clean up the mess the right makes, whether its foreign policy, the economy, values, almost anything. We as mature adults must speck out against these types of actions. The action taken by these the "W-street team" is illegal. There are certain ways and means to get permission to chalk or put up flyers. All one has to do is go to Student and Residential Life (SRL) and fill out some paper work. It's one thing that this action is vandalizing the school; however the serious violation is that this action is illegal. If we don't catch these vandals what's to say they wouldn't tag the school like gangs. As mature adults we are better than that, and I hope the College Republicans denounce this behavior. If they know who did this, I plead that they please give the information to the proper authorities. I call on all students,' faculty, and administration to condemn this action. Some student Republicans have gone on record calling actions like these satire, jokes, or politics. "Get over it!" Say what you want, this is vandalism and it cost the school money. Money that can be used to help you the students get better classes and achieve a higher learning. I will not stand by while other groups get punished similar behavior that is minimal compared to last Mondays attack. What ever you, as readers' think of my option, don't forget to Vote November 2nd if you haven't already. Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Progressive Activist Network I just wanted to comment and respond to the "Vote Bush" graffiti that was all over the school this past week. I personally can not stand President Bush and to be truthful I actually look down on the people who want to vote for this moron but I want to commend these people, whoever they maybe, for taking the actions that they did. I know the school must investigate and prosecute to set an example for futures occurrences like this but I do not agree. Did the people really graffiti anything permanent? It looks like this week's rain might be enough to clean it up. Is it wrong to have a real passionate protest at campus? We know the school won't allow anything real or inspired. They put a square around an area and say you can do this there and do that thing here and if you do it this way we can't allow it and on and on. It made me happy to see this protest.. .this flamboyant attack on the democrats of our school. At least there was some fire in the hearts of some of the students that attend this school. We are the living dead around here. There is no real excitement anywhere at anytime. I know, I know, what is there really to be excited about on a campus where the buildings are as colorful as milk, the people leave as soon as class is done, and the most exciting thing we have is a stupid clock that has the wrong Roman numeral on it? Well I like to blame the school for making sure that everything is safe and boring. Everything is not meant to be ok and I think everyone should start to realize that. People are different and have different views so let them express them. We should have stuff like this week's graffiti and school pranks. We need life to breathe into this campus of ours. I want to give congratulations to the people who wrote the Bush statements and I hope you get away with it (but I hope he still loses). Finally I want to urge students to take a stand against the bland and act out sometimes. Sincerely, Weston Rogers free speech zone). The College Republicans (headed by Nicholas "W" Bonomi) organized the rally. That is calm compared to what just happened a day before the debate between Commander Gerald Bunch (of Veterans for Peace) and Larry Greenfield (of the Republican Jewish Coalition) started. When I walked around campus on Tuesday morning, I saw proBush chalk graffiti etched around Chavez Plaza. I was told that there were pro-Bush signs littered around campus, some on the LGBT poster by Founders Plaza. It was offensive to PAN, the College Democrats, M.E.Ch.A. (they will go ballistic when they see what happened to Chavez Plaza) and the LGBT club. When PAN did the anti-police brutality protest with chalk drawings, they were erased in thirty minutes. Nobody did anything about the pro-Bush graffiti. Also, the pro-Bush graffiti was scattered around campus, having invalid statements like "ASI for Bush". As a man of respect, I cannot point the finger on the College Republicans. It could probably be some pro-Bush splinter group that has more zeal than the CR. Who knows? We'll see what Bonomi has to say about this. Ken Lux CSUSM Senior, Visual Arts Major & PAN supporter Some have suggested these lies were the work of the College Republicans To The Students, (CRs).

Man, I tell ya it would be the best seller" -Jay Z That quote sums up the experience of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" perfectly. The latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise has hit shelves all across America and has given people, like yours truly, another excuse not to go to class for a few days. Anticipation was at an all time high in the months prior to its release, heck I even had to go to a couple of different stores just to get a copy (thank the lord for Target!). Normally within the video gaming subculture, when a game is highly publicized and anticipated, it usually tends to suck. The good people at Rockstar Games and Rockstar North have created what could possibly be one of the greatest games ever. "San Andreas" is roughly five times the size of the last game, "Vice City", and has three cities to roam instead of just one. There is the San Francisco based city of San Fierro, Las Venturas is a clone of Las Vegas, and Los Santos is modeled after the city of Los Angeles. The game is set in the early 1990s in the California based state of San Andreas. You play the game as Carl "CJ" Johnson, a former gang member that headed to the East Coast five years prior to escape death and gang life in San Andreas. You are forced to return to your home city of Los Santos when you receive word that your mother has been killed. From that point, mayhem is only a press of a button away from your fingertips. Your first order of business is not to bury and grieve for your mother (what kind of game experience would that be?), but instead to meet up with your brothers and re-establish The Grove Street Families as the premier gang in Los Santos. You would think that all that is required of you is to shoot this or steal that, oh no grass hopper, there are more wrinkles in this game than an 87 year- old man. For the first time in the GTA franchise, your main character is almost human. In the game you will need to eat to survive. Big deal you say? Well if you decide to chow down on burgers all the time then Carl will get fat, and I mean noticeably fat with a bloated face and body. So how do you remedy that? Just like in real life: you head on down to the gym and work it on out. Not just one workout in the gym is going cut it either. Depending on how big you are, it could take you three of four visits to the gym before you turn into a thug complete with prison muscles. Another twist put in the game is the addition of purchasing full wardrobes and hairstyles. Buying different clothes, getting different hairstyles, and working out, all contribute to your Stamina, Power, and Sex Appeal bars. The game is so packed with objectives that I can't possibly name them all, so you will just have go get a copy (if you can find one) and experience all the things that your parents told you not to do. universities all over the country.

The Early Learning Center (ELC) will continue to offer services to students, staff, faculty, and the community after 464 students voted in favor to keep the center open. A total of 565 students voted in last week's referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business. In the past, ASI has provided the means to keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who voted online from October 18-21 decided that an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC. According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the collection from students will total ^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents of the children attending the ELC will pay the remaining $156,000 of thè budget.

The four propositions discussed were state Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition B. There were eight panelists, one for both sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of CSUSM students, professors, and members of the community. President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic Senate sponsored the event. Students enjoyed the free food that was provided during the debate, but many began to leave for classes as the event continued. By the end of the event there were only about 20 people who remained in attendance. The first debate was over state Proposition 66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed by voters in 1994. Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor of the proposition. Callahan urged voters to approve the changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Approximately 170 people gathered in Academic Hall room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set to open in the spring 2006. "This is an exciting event. A milestone has been reached and it's time to celebrate," said Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes. After listening to speeches by University President Karen Haynes, Dean of the College of Business, Dennis Guseman, and others who made the building possible, attendees had the opportunity to sign a steel beam that will be placed in the building. At the event it was announced that a yet-to-be-named donor came forward with 5 million dollars to name the building, which is the largest gift received by CSUSM for a single project. The name of the building is set to be announced this week. Photos by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Above: Event participants s ign the ceremonial beam. Below: The staff of C oBA s igns the beam.

The ELC is not only a childcare center and a place for children to begin learning basic lessons at an early age, it is also a place that employs students and provides internship opportunities. "We are an essential service for students, students utilize the center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM students." Hilary Gross-Richmond, a senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling her internship requirement at the ELC by helping the preschool class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing of the referendum is "a wonderful thing." "It's the reward of knowing that once you have taught them something or read them a story, they appreciate it and come back for more. It's the reward of their smile," said Gross-Richmond describing her favorite part about working with the children at the ELC.

J ack! 8 58-565-2144 �NEWS THE PRIDE DEBATE, from page 1 campus BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer Last week Students took little notice of For Him Magazine's visit to campus as rain filled the sky. For Him Magazine (FHM) set up a booth in front of the Kellogg Library with video games and promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in Arts 240, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored the appearance of comedian Christian Finnegan. Finaegan cracked up the small audience that attended the show. The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea bagging" them. Next he moved on to relationship philosophy. "Relationships are like yard sales, they look really f un from 100 feet away, but when you get close you realize it's a bunch of shit you don't need," joked Finnegan Finnegan cracked jokes for the rest of the hour long show on everything from his "fat-tax" to the Olympics to the upcoming election. The audience seemed to enjoy Finnegan's wit and slightly twisted sense of humor. "It was tight! More people should have come, they missed out," said student Angela Jenkins Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Christian Finnegan performs. People at the event speculated as to why only 24 people showed up for the comedy performance. Most explanations for lack of attendance focused around the weather. "It sucks it was on a Tuesday, let alone a rainy Tuesday," said Eric Groset, director of social programming for ASI. Angela Jenkins thought the small audience was partially due to the lack of publicity for this event. "I just heard about it today, I picked up aflyerbut it didn't have a date on it," said Jenkins. When all was said and done those that attended the show left with a smile on their faces and sore sides. Christian Finnegan left San Marcos with sore legs and a smile as well. "There's lots of stairs. That's brutal, it's brutal here, but it's been great. I hope I can come back at a later date when it's sunny," said Finnegan. Christian Finnegan can be seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m. on VHl's new series Best Week Ever as well as in his occasional appearances on the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. lent," said Callahan about the proposition. She stated that Proposition 66 would narrow the definition of serious or violent crimes to exclude petty crimes such as burglary or attempted burglary. Callahan said because of the three strikes law California has the "highest prisoner population in the nation." CSUSM student Stephen Keller, argued against Proposition 66. "It punishes people with no respect for the law," said Keller about current three strikes law. Keller said that the current law doesn't need to be changed and is "riot targeting petty crimes." The second debate addressed state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84 percent on the net revenue of gaming. Community member David Lent argued in favor of the proposition. "It's time the tribes stepped up to the plate," said Lent. Lent urged voters to vote "yes" on Proposition 70 because, "it would bring two billion dollars to the table for all of California." Community member and Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70. "It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about Proposition 70. He said that Proposition 70 "does not bring sovereignty or a fair share," for Make Your Voice Heard: Vote Need encouragement?

Proposition 71 would provide state funding for stem cell research. Dayleen Coleman, a human development major, argued in favor of the proposition. "Stem cell research is the best chance to cure many different diseases. The new cures could affect up to 100 million people," said Coleman. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi argued against Proposition 71. "Those who are going to vote for religious reasons are going to vote against Proposition 71," said Bonomi. Asking voters not to approve the measure because of its' cost to taxpayers. Bonomi said, "Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in interest." The last debate was over local Proposition B. Proposition B would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory Canyon Landfill. CSUSM student, Didi Lund, argued in favor of the proposition. "The garbage dump is not needed," said Lund. Stressing environmental protection as a reason the Proposition should pass. Lund said, "The garbage dump threatens the San Luis Rey river. It could be polluted." Political consultant Jennifer Tierney argued against Proposition B. "Landfills are needed," said Tierney asking voters to deny the proposition. Tierney said, "Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It insures that it will go through the process." CLASSIFIEDS E GG D ONORS N EEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often used in the United States," Anover said. "It is the art of knowing how to enjoy life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so than simply working." Yet, living in the United States has made it a little more difficult trying to balance both American and European lifestyles. Anover, who was born in France, has spent many years traveling between both France and Spain attending school as well as visiting family. "I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in France, summer vacations were spent in Spain, and vice versa. Life was a bit more collective where the government provided state funded health benefits as well as six-weeks of paid vacation for teachers. Yet, her love for languages drew her to the United States 14 years ago as she participated in a non-native speaker of Mekenye - Associate Professor of History Department Country: Kenya English program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal time. "Workaholic is an American word," Anover said. According to Anover, the lifestyle in which Americans live in does not allow for vacation time. "It's not that we [Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is, the priorities are different." As the French Club's advisor, as well as Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor for French, Anover shares these words of advice to those who share a bicultural experience: Try your best to integrate into the society that you're embracing without losing yourself, your roots. "Life here can be very brutal, a high stress society as compared to a more relaxed way of life in Kenya," said Reuben Mekenye, history professor. Having been born and raised in Kenya, Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he moved to the city to attend college. As a diligent college student, Mekenye was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such as national issues to issuing statements on behalf of the student community during Kenya's political turmoil. By that time, he had processed his papers in Lesotho and was admitted to both Canada and the United States after a year. In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as a refugee through the sponsorship of a Catholic church. In a state of culture shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way around. Cultural Curners Diverse professors from different ends of _____ the spectrum "You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello. After a short six month stay, he was awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he happily returned to a warmer climate. He grew very fond of the education system as it was more democratic, unlike the authoritarian practices of Kenya. "Tests were public exams given by strangers. We all took it at once," Mekenye said. After many years, Reuben Mekenye still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having respect for the elders. "Listen first, do more listening then talking," Mekenye said. "It is expected that the elders are to command more knowledge." With his vast sense of knowledge, he shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget where you come from. Your values, you need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you well."

Being an All American golfer doesn't come easy, she practices with "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7,"saidFrench. her team five times a week, attends yoga twice a week, and weight trains once a week. "Playing everyday really makes an improvement," said French. "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7." French has been golfing for ten years. Her whole family plays golf, so it was easy for her to fall in love with the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) like her idol and former babysitter Leta Lindley, and will try for her pro-card when she's finished with college. "I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't love it," French said. "I love golfing in college because as an individual you can succeed, but at the same time you help your team." French's commitment to golf has paid off. She placed in the top 15 and earned an All-American title at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament last year as a freshman. It is early in the season, but French said she expects "to improve every year" so golf fans can expect great things from her this year. As for the rest of the team, "They are a young team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores and although they are doing great this year, the team will strengthen and improve in the years to come," French said. Golf is a spring and fall sport, unlike other college sports which usually only play for one semester. The first tournament of the fall season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The team placed fourth out of forty-five teams and individually French and her teammate Kyle Safford placed in the top five. Golf is one of three intercollegiate sports supported by CSUSM. It is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 'which is like the NCAA for smaller schools. The golf team has averaged about three tournaments a semester; the last tournament of the fall will take place November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

On top of trying to finish assignments, doing last minute revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on a major is just as stressful. Cal State San Marcos was once limited on the number of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding their way to our campus. This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement especially in humans. The physical education and kinesiology major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in pursuing careers in advanced degrees in physical education, kinesiology, exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Those who are involved and currently taking classes are interested in starting a new club on campus to help build a foun- dation for the major. Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology student is excited to be in a new major that is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the body works," he said. This semester, there are three official classes that are being offered, Kine 208, a hands-on lab class designed to practice movement in the field house, Kine 300, which studies the biomechanics of human movement, and Kine 301, which studies motor control. "Being in the major as it develops, there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to the program is that the field house has just opened, and kinesiology is a major that is open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a new program and it's not well known." This semester, there are currently two professors teaching the classes: Todd Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of the department is advisor Dr. Nichols. "The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging," Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction." There has been a lot of positive feedback from students currently enrolled in these classes. For those interested in sports and activities, or for those who come from a background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all students and staff here on campus. �THE PRIDE Jock Talk With Josh SPORTS Tuesday; October 262004 BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I think it's safe to say that the 86-year old curse of the Bambino is finally over for the Boston Red Sox, right? The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow in the American League Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for the Yankees; the so called best closer in playoff history ends up taking one to the groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox came back and stole two wins. Then when the series moved back to New York for the final two games no one gave the Sox a shot since after all they were entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the Bronx. However, somehow they were able to put away the Yankees in game six as Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning his white socks into "red sox" as he was bleeding throughout the whole game due to a loose tendon being stitched to his skin. The following night the Sox put the Yanks away and in doing so they made it to their first World Series since 1986 to face the St. Louis Cardinals who are making their first appearance since 1987. Then in game one of the World Series the Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox again as Manny Ramirez looked like he was running on ice in leftfieldas he made two errors which lead to the Cards tying the game at nine. But the Bambino's attempt was about as SPECIAL ED TEACHERS & TEACHER'S AIDES ***WeVe Expanded*** Opening 30+ Positions Image courtesy of http://boston.redsox.mlb.com successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sox the win. The Bambino has been creative in his attempts to send tears throughout Boston for an 86th consecutive season, but he has not been successful yet and do we really want the Bambino to fail? Everyone says they want the Red Sox to win or that they think this is the season for the Sox since they have dodged all those previously mentioned bullets from the Bambino, but deep down I know that no one really thinks the Sox will win. I mean if the Sox win the World Series what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that the Sox are supposed to find a new way to implode so even though the Bambino hasn't been successful in his attempts to this point, you just wait because he will make an appearance in this World Series and he won't strike out. Drop me an E-mail at Sando026@csusm. edu to send your praise for when my Red Sox prediction comes through or if by some miracle the Sox win the series you can send your criticism.

You checked the boxes, filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count yourselves among the elite: students who are registered to vote! By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail — 'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide (and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately 260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and frothy in comparison. Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you. In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only for President of the United States. Other than deciding who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under "President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one. Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges, college and hospital board members (depending on where you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi- Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride tions, which often have the potential to take money from you for years to come. My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards, etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice. The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be less informed than my fictitious, anal retentive, T he P assion o f M el G ibson BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon. Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked number one on the Forbes annual celebrity power list of 2004. His total earnings are an estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ." First and foremost, I consider Gibson one of the rare true film artists. He deserves to be number one. Not like Britney Spears that ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success. When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote "The Passion of the Christ," he funded the estimated $25 million budget himself and found Newmarket Films to distribute the film on an independent level. He wasn't about to trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't done so already. "The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370 million in the United States and a little over $600 million worldwide. It was released on February 25, 2004 and held the number one spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday (April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is also estimated that the film will earn another $150 million from the DVD sales which will rank him high in the 2005 power list. Gibson has mastered every role he has taken. From the womanizer in "What Women Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of his leading ladies and other costars. This opinion wouldn't be complete if I didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the unbiased direction. He's not making the film to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically accurate? No one can be the judge of that. Not any religious figure/group or historian. Many fail to realize that fact. With any film based on a true story or event, some facts are purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties' involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart" as an example, the events were told through many generations and may or may not have been documented accurately. This is a film, not a documentary. So what's going to happen to Gibson now? Every studio will be drooling and fighting over his future projects. Gibson has expressed an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his place in Hollywood history. He has earned his place as number one. In the film "Ransom," he said "Many people acquire their fortune. But not me, I built it, from the ground up and no one is taking it away." This holds true. Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping to free you from the belief that voting is too much work; like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into it. Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so get together with some friends, take an hour or two to go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just ask for another ballot. Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote! Slicing through the political rhetoric BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be informed. That's right, read this article and then forget about reading any more about the elections. Why? The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know the issues. How can we as voters possibly know the issues? Many key issues are either completely unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a normal citizen. Either people just don't know, or in order to know, you'd have to spend half your life researching it. Let's focus on some of the issues of the presidential race as an example. Is the President's plan in Iraq working? Kerry again attacks President Bush by saying in a debate, "I have laid out a different plan because the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side and Bush has Iraqi officials on his. Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one person's word against another. Are we supposed to go to Iraq to find out ourselves? Does Kerry have more credibility with other nations than Bush does? Kerry contends that we need a new president with fresh credibility. No foreign nation is going to tell us, . "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader" No French or Russian president is going to tell us, "Oh actually I really dislike Bush as a person, that's why we're not helping you." This issue is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote on it? Fact checking articles such as CNN's Fact Check are sometimes helpful, but usually it makes more of a mess than before. For example, Bush claims that Kerry has voted 98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact Check clarifies this by saying, "The number is somewhat inflated because it includes all votes on a given piece of legislation, including procedural votes and votes to end debate." So is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way to find out without having to look up all the different types of procedural votes and sort them out with Kerry's voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a lot or not! Those are just a few of the issues in the presidential election. Not to mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many propositions and other issues to research. Usually it just becomes a case of "Who am I going to believe?" Don't be fooled by all that "informed voter" hype. It's just another tactic to get your vote. They want you to be informed about their side of the issue. The more you research an issue, the more you realize that nobody knows the answer. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 26 2004 Byl^SmNOJOLS P ^ Ombudsman By the time you read this puppy, 111 have attended a wedding in Vegas (not mine!), and had oodles of inebriated fun playing 6, 8, and i O the hard way' at the craps table. In the spirit of matrimony and frivolous monetary spending (both somehow connected), I'm gonna take a Prozac-suppository spin on things and speak nothing but happy-la-las on the Pride. Enjoy. Oooh. Ahhh. Yeah. Moore. Qh yeah, Moore! Don't stop! I want Moore! Moore! Moore! I don't think our little paper can get enough of him. And the fact that Moore was repeatedly quoted as trouncing our school's admin, that's great! Let'is all raise hell and collect 50 Benjamins! Oh yeaht And Nick Bonomi! d p on with your bad self! If the College Republi- DEGREE cans were the "Royal Order of Water Buffalo**; he'd be Fred Flintstoae. I love that he gets in this paper more than most of our writers. Do our editors get checks in the mail from Mr. Bonomi? I don't know, but I love him all the same. And that massive front-page picture of Bonomi four papers back.. i have it above my hope chest Phoenix says it best in her article, "Republicans are just too damn attractive!" And the Protest article, how great was that* A protester is almost run over by a motorist?! What an action sequence! I assume the motorist wasn't a Republican. They're kinder, gentler drivers. And the quote just after the attempted murder-by-bumper that read, "I felt a little uncomfortable, if was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," Talk about grace under fire. Speaking of grace, have you noticed how sharp the Pride's been looking? J think the Pride's PCs going on the fritz was the best damn thing to occur, Jason Encabo has cleaned this puppy up so well, I can actually see the graphics, pictures, and make out the 'paws' that go with every film review. Plus the ads! Verizon has a full-page ad now! A full page dedicated to "Can you hear me now?" Mo' adds means mo' money! I won't see any of it, but that's cool, we still get a better paper. If we get enough of these ads, we might one day see this paper in Technicolor. Oh, the beauty that goes with pastel skin tones... .. .and pastel clothes. The fell fashion frenzy article was so frickin rad. All those styles from the 70s and 80s are coming back! Bitchin. I get to look like a member of the Brat Pack again. I hope they bring back the rolled up pant legs and socks with cotton balls! Man, I miss the days of the mullet. Business in the front, party in the back! Which reminds me, how sweet the smell of 4eau de toilette.' I would never have imagined that an article could be written about the pump and dump, but Polly flushed it out with *flying colors.' And how appropriate to place her article under mine. Toilet humor meets the toilet And to load up for the toilet, Chef Dawson feeds the UVA residents. First mold and fire alarms, now food?! I want to live there! Plus I'd be only a hop, skip, and jump from the free counseling at the Student Health Services. After this article, I'll be asked to take advantage of the service for And if I don't make it there, I can feel good that Michelle Robinson says mediocrity is okay Then YU get to eat a banana and pose for the Pride next to our lovely (even when frowning) Chrissy Baldwin. Don't let the fact that she's an editor make you think I'm just saying that to suck up. Hove bananas. And I love Josh. I've made two jabs at him in this grey box, and he came back with a left hook that had me floored. His article on Caminiti's unfortunate passing was one of the sincerest, best damn articles I've read! I asked that you "Make me love you Josh,' and well., .what are you doing Friday? Don't worry, I'm an easy and cheap date, and we can go see "Team America; World Police." Phoenix gave it 5 paws* And whatever Phoenix says, I do. Like I told her, she's the only Republican I love to listen to or read. Don't worry Bonomi, there'll always be a special place for you in my heart. This concludes my happyla-las.

I also want to comment on the "protestors" at Moore's event who, on their signs, encouraged me "not to pay for lies." When their tax dollars are being spent to massacre people and convert Saddam's torture chambers into our own, I don't stand in front of their TV's with posters which claim "Bill O'Reilly is ugly." I was horrified to see that photo of one protestor whose sign read, "Michael Moore is fat." Did he really take a night offfromshooting beer cans THE PRIDE to show up at this event? Oh, is he the forwardthinking political activist who will save me from my ignorance to show the link between George Bush's vision for a peaceful world and Moore's unhealthy BMI? Michael Moore may not use his treadmill, but at least he uses his brain, which is more than can be said for those who swallow everything they're fed from a government who lives in constant fear of the humanitarian enlightenment of its people. In closing, allow me to say: The kind of ignorance which drives people to "protest" my right to question authority when innocent people die is the same ignorance that got innocent people killed on September 11th. The point of education is not answering questions but questioning answers. THINK- it's patriotic.

Was it Moore's commendation of the brave members of the military who are fighting for our country that I should be ashamed of? Maybe the hope he expressed for a speedy end to the war and turning Iraq back over to its citizens that I should be ashamed of. Possibly these negative individuals want me to be ashamed that our president has sold out to the NRA and allowed automatic weapons to be purchased again in our country making the streets less safe for the police and the average citizen. Now THAT I AM ashamed of Congress for allowing. Do the angry individuals want me to be ashamed that: they prefer a duty shirker to a true military hero? Michael Moore expressed true patriotic ideals.

Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director Dear Editor, While watching the Presidential Debate, I was extremely dismayed at the mention of raising the Federal Minimum Wage by Senator John Kerry. Does Mr. Kerry realize that by raising the minimum wage you do not make living any more affordable for the lower class, but instead make it less affordable not only for them, but the lower portions of the middle class as well? Most middle class employees and small business owners will not earn more because their employers will not be inclined to give them a raise, but the cost of products that they produce and purchase will rise. The costs of products will rise proportionally to the �A &E THE PRIDE What if l7m pregna m ake i nformed, h ealth c onfident c hoices 760.744.11 2 77 S.

It's worth it, trust me. With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter whether you like hip hop or not. If you are a fan of music then you should gravitate towards Talib Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful Struggle. A few months ago the early version of this album ended up on the internet and street cor- ners alike so Kweli went back to the gym, trained harder* and came out with a sure fire first round knockout. On the opening track "Go Hard," Kweli does just that. Rhyming with the tenacity of a starving pit-bull, you can hear the hunger in his voice as he drops more knowledge in one verse than many of his peers will in an entire career: "people ask me how we wearing diamonds/when there's little kids in Sierra Leone CDReview ( losing arms for crying while they're mining". On this offering, Kweli takes listeners on a great journey of knowledge, pain, love, politics, religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze), Kweli does something that he has not done before; he simply makes music that has no limitations on it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

When you play this album you will be moved by it. Either your soul will move by the spiritual vibes of "Around My Way" or your arms might move when you tell someone to "Back Up Offa Me." On the albums most inspiring and greatest track "I Try", Kweli enlists Mary J. Blige to add the final punch to one of the best songs of the year.

Kweli also takes time to speak to the ladies in a positive and smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the songs "We Know" features Faith Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and "Never Been In Love". The only problem spots for the BK MC are that the album only clocks in at 53 minutes. Some might feel this is too short but others may feel it's just right because of all the knowledge that is packed into the 13 songs. There are two album filler tracks that could have been replaced. The club themed "A game" and the "Planet Rock" influenced "We Got The Beat" should have been scrapped for collaborations with his Black Star partner Mos Def. Overall there is no struggle within this album.

Students protest event BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Approximately 150 students and community members filled the street corner at Via De La Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar to protest before the appearance of filmmaker Michael Moore. CSUSM College Republicans organized the event and developed a website to get community members involved. The website stated the purpose of the protest was to let people know, "enough is enough, we are tired of Michael Moore's rhetoric and we are going to stand up against him and support our Government, President, capitalism, troops, and foreign policy." The protesters came from all over San Diego County to express their disapproval of this stop of Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour." They held signs, some of which read "hippies go home, honk for bush, no flip flops in the white house, and no 'Moore' lies." Some protesters also chanted "4 more years" at passing motorists. College Republicans Nick Bonomi and Ashley Stuart lightened the mood of the demonstration by dressing as President Bush and as a GOP elephant respectively. "We're focusing on keeping positive," said Eileen Liston, external vice chair of the Col- An unexpected downpour Monday morning could not prevent the Graduate and Professional School Fair from going on as planned. "We didn't expect the rain," said Susan Buck-Allen from Career and Transfer Student Services, coordinator of the fair. "So far, everything has worked out great." The Director of Career and Transfer Services Sandy Punch was pleased with the turnout and the quick improvisation. "We had a mad rush to bring tables in from the rain," said Punch. The booths that were set up in the Kellogg Library Terrace area had to be moved under the cover of the library's overhang. The fair can not be rescheduled because it is part of a circuit that travels to other college campuses. "We have no choice of the date," said Punch. "We were lucky we got in (the circuit) early." The fair is held once a year in the fall. It includes representatives from different graduate schools as well as a workshop for students to hopes to remove some of the mystique of post baccalaureate education. "The workshop helps in dispelling the myths of grad school," said Punch. Other topics at the workshop included how to apply to grad school, financial aid and the experience of being a first generation grad student. Schools from as far away as New York and Australia were represented at the fair.

Bush and Senator John Kerry put forward their positions on Social Security, immigration, minimum wage law and the war in Iraq at the final presidential debate. While watching the candidates, the student panelists, Democrats and Republicans alike, jotted down notes to prepare themselves for the discussion that followed. A student panel consisting of three Bush supporters (Nick Bonomi, Stephen Puetz and Matthew Curren) as well as three panelists who supported Kerry (Didi Lund, Dustin Lacasse and John Baden) talked about key issues regarding the presidential election. Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science on campus, acted as moderator of the panel. Each member was allocated four minutes to share their reaction to the debate, their favorite debate moments as well as key issues that they felt were absent from the candidates' statements. "The only time President Bush mentioned women in his speech, it was in reference to their reproductive organs," s^id Lund, president of the Women's Studies Student Association Didi Lund. Lund raised other key women's issues that she felt were overlooked in the debate. "When you look at the debate, John Kerry's policies are very appealing," said Bonomi, executive director of College Republicans. Bonomi also shared his personal experiences watching Kerry campaign in person months before and pointed out what he saw as a change in the senators' stance on key issues. He went on to say that some of Kerry's actual proposals were "180 degrees opposite" of what he stated in the debate. After the panelists made their statements, Greenwood opened the floor for questions from the audience. Issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and separation of church and state were brought up by students and panel members responded to the audience questions. "If the reason for denying gay people the right to get married is to protect the sanctity of marriage, then why don't we have a limit on the number of divorces a person can have?" said Baden, president of the University Foreign Aid Organization, in response to a question from an audience member regarding President Bush's proposal of a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage. The discussion that ensued was indicative of the divided partisan affiliations of the panel members. Despite the partisan wrangling, the ultimate goal of the evening was to give students the chance to actively engage in a dialogue regarding political issues with their peers. EVENT, from page 1 "What started out as a negative situation, really turned into an overwhelmingly positive experience" said Yamout about the attempted cancellation of the event. "I've been at Cal State San Marcos for almost four years now and I'll tell you I've never seen the students more excited and more invigorated by any issue ever. Conservatives, liberals everybody in between has been so riled up the past few weeks, and it's been inspiring to me, and it's been inspiring to the community." Yamout thanked donors Herring Broadcasting and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fernandez for their financial contributions, then let Moore take the stage. "I know it's been a rough road for the students," said Moore. "The whole thing was set up and because of pressure on the administration (of CSUSM) our right to speak and your right to listen was taken from us." Moore remarked how the original plan was for a small event of 1200-1500 people. Crediting what he called the "Republican, conservative attitude of trying to prohibit free speech in San Diego County," the event grew almost ten times. "I think we need to do something else here so that the administration of Cal State San Marcos never ever even thinks of doing this again to any speaker of any political party," said Moore. Moore announced that the proceeds of the event would go toward a scholarship/grant program at Cal State San Marcos. "Each year for the next four years we will hand out a $5,000 grant or scholarship to the one student who has fought and stood up the most to the administration of Cal State San Marcos," said Moore. Moore said that students Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride should nominate other Joan Baez and Tom Morello. Morello took the stage and rallied the crowd students for the scholarship/grant by submitting a one page essay about "just how much with statements in favor of peace, human hell this one student raised, and how suc- rights, workers' rights and women's rights. Morello also sang a song called "House cessful they were." In his speech Moore joked with the crowd Gone Up in Flames" about citizen inaction as he spewed harsh criticisms of Presi- over poor governmental policy.

Baez sang two of her http://www.michaelmoore.com. classic protest songs prior to Moore joining her in singing "America the Beautiful." PROTEST, from page 1 Republicans. "Michael Moore is picking slackers because they are not going to be the ones who educate themselves." The motorists in the area were just as divided as the protesters and the Moore supporters. Horns honked frequently in support while other cars held up signs supporting Kerry or middle fingers. When people yelled at the protestors, several would respond with "Bush hater!" One woman motorist at a red light was clearly unhappy with the protest. She stuck her arm out the window and displayed her middle finger to the protestors. As the woman waited for the light, she sat there with herfingerup glaring at the protestors. When a protestor in the crosswalk approached her car, she put her car in reverse, and drove right at him. The man quickly jumped out of the way and was not harmed. mw m Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Michael Moore protesters rally outside of the Del Mar Fairgrounds Unusually long traffic lights made for a lengthy wait at the crosswalks, forcing those who parked off site to deal with the protestors. This gave both sides a chance to voice their opinions face to face. At times things became heated but never amounted to any- thing more than angry words. "I felt a little uncomfortable, it was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," said CSUSM senior DanaEricson.

These pants are perfect for casual or formal occasions. Don't be afraid to pair up the pin-stripe pants with f unky striped shirts and argyle sweaters.

While these are definitely not adequate deterrents in life, they can still be classified as challenges, can't they? Academically speaking, numbers are my kryptonite. The bright-eyed spitfire I typically can be will suddenly morph into a sweating, babbling mess as I struggle to carry an invisible number that doesn't even go there. Though, I did meet that challenge and pass college math, never to return to it again. I've been a mediocre student all of my life. I never minded this fact nor did I envy the students who did the whole "inquisitive youngster" routine. A fter all, I was busy trying to pry the remote control out of my brother's hand. And while the overachieving science students got ribbons for watching a potato grow sprouts, I wrote love poems to various crushes, made f un of teachers with chalk on their bums, and practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in the bathroom mirror. I never made honor roll, and it's been decided that I shan't make the Dean's list. Upon this revelation, I made myself comfortable. For it was here, in this middle of nowhere as a student, that I would become perfect. It's here, in the plush cushioning of mediocrity, where I will strive. Perhaps "striving" for a C sounds ludicrous, and it is. That's because I don't mean to strive for a C. My aim is to idle towards one; meander about the university, and let a C attach itself to my student body. Jenny Foster, a communications major, says that her parents think she's an excellent student. When I asked her if she really was, she looked at me as if I was a giant talking shoe. "No way" she said. Although Jenny says she's not the greatest of students, she is in fact graduating this year. My pool of mediocrity is getting crowded. There are those students, however, that were most likely the potato sprout watchers. Over the summer, I took Spanish 201 with a liberal arts major. During a test, she began to hyperventilate, claw at her face and desk, whimper and finally vomit a little bit in her mouth. Afterwards, when I asked her why, she simply said, " I am an A student. I'm just not good at Spanish. I have to pass." The sunshine that I chose to dispense? "Dude, all you need is a C !" A fter which I extended my right hand for the underachiever hi-five. You see if and when I decide to go to class, I sit in the back. I eat my banana, and I am the first to ask one of three key phrases that epitomizes the mediocrity of my studiousness: "Is there anything due?" "What did we do?" and "Is there anything new?" These are imperative questions to ensure that my position as a perfect mediocre student will not change. Right down the middle, kids. I'm not saying college is easy, or that it should be, mind you. What I am saying is that although I should, I simply do not apply myself. I do indeed have potential for straight A's, but meeting my potential for straight A's, why, that's a challenge, isn't it? If I go and do that, it would blow my perfecting mediocrity theory. I would then be excelling at academics and the bar would be raised. I'd meet that, and then the Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride C hrissy Baldwin, A & E editor for The Pride, takes a break from her normal study habits to follow Michelle's advice. bar would rise yet again. Before you know it, I'd be in the Olympics or the next Bobby Fisher, playing chess and showing off my great big brain. No thank you, I've got my special skill. Since floating, coasting, or gliding through college can be a skill if done correctly, the challenge of teetering just right, between the "real" world and the college life is like an art. I'm almost a geisha.

Moore Republicans are just too damn attractive! Photos courtesy of www.anncoulter.org A nn Coulter his argument depends on your perspective, but it can't be denied that Moore is profiting f rom the war in Iraq as much as Halliburton. It seems that everyone who hopes to influence your vote is a millionaire; some of them just look more the part than others. wants you to believe that focusing on terrorism is fear-mongering on the part of the right, but that denies the ongoing impact of 9/11 on our lives; I'm not afraid of being killed by a terrorist, but I am concerned about what will happen to our nation if al-Qaida is successful again. Like it or not capitalism depends entirely on people making and spending money. So if nobody's making money because we stop taking vacations, buying new cars, getting raises, going to the movies, investing in infrastructure, and the zillion other capitalist activities that slowed or stopped because of 9/11, then America fails to thrive, and that means fewer of those wonderful entitlement programs my left-leaning comrades are so fond of, less aid to other countries, and so on. It's a downward spiral we can't afford to see repeated any time soon. So weigh your facts. Get informed. Listen to what everybody has to say. Read between the lines. But don't let anybody make your choices for you; you wouldn't want me or Michael Moore or your professors telling you what to eat, so b e as fiercely independent about how you're going to vote. The Pied Piper led the children of Hamelin into the cave, never to be heard f rom again. Don't let Moore's flute lull you into failing to think for yourself. �By JASON NICBOLS PrideOmbudsman i did not get my underwear and noodles! But, the payments of chafe and malnutrition will be worth the discomfort If this paper stops playing with t he Moore issue like a pubescent boy plays with his,..column. Coming off the 'Letters to t he Editor' last week was a kindred spirit of cynicism, accusation, and Pride criticism. Carmelino C ruz wrote, "For the last weeks it seems that ail you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore." Then adds, "I want to know who makes the decision on what t o write." Well Carmelino, let's prick and pry t he Pride. Shall we? On Tuesday nights t he collection of writers we call staffers, get together with t he heads-incharge (editors) and stories are divvied out amongst the crowd. Most are suggested by the heads, but writers are encouraged to toss up a couple of cookies as w ell Writers volunteer for the choices offered, or succumb to the pleas of the editors. And if that doesn't work, they loop B arry' Manilow's 'Mandy* till t he writers cry "Uncle!" In this democratic oligarchy w e get the stories that show up, A few, like Josh and I, do regular columns (m case you missed t he obvious). You can spot these by the grinning mug shots. A nd j ust between you and me, I suspect our faces are there so disgruntled readers can corner us in a dark alley. Which is why I don't look a damn thing like my mug. -WHISPER MODE - ON: T m actually a n obnoxious, tall, blonde dude, with a Vanilla Ice haircut, who doesn't smoke.' WHISPER MODE - OFF. Now, you should know kindred spirits of cynicism, that our writers are not paid for their troubles; they have jobs and classes to attend, and some even claim to have families. If that weren't enough, the time budget they're usually given for the stories is two, maybe three days. My colon takes longer to pass an apple. So for all my harsh wit on their articles, I always stand i n amazement that our staffers get their no-wage j obs done at all, (Don't tell 'em I said that.) While on the subject of harsh wit, our Mr, Milo w as lambasted by Mr. Bryan Watkins for his article on the d raft b ill But before you get his words, you get mine. I don't know who did the description under the front-page picture of f uture Devil-Dogs taking the oath, but a Rear Admiral wears a Squid's uniform, less things have changed since I was in. Also, please be sure my past fellow E-Club drinking buddies have their service spelt Corps, not Core. I think going through the hardest of boots and volunteering to be a "bullet-dodger" deserves at least a proper spell check. If that's not incentive enough, keep in mind these few and proud are trained to shoot and 'blow *@#$ u p/ J ust an observation. Now, onto Mr. Watkins' words. Bryan writes, "This article is riddled with misinformation that if taken for face value can undermine the legislative process as well as confuse the students of California State University San M arcos/' Well, I'd hate to think the Pride might "confuse the students," and we definitely don't want the Pride to "undermine the legislative pro- cess," Whatever shall we do? I comply with Mr. Watkins final point in his letter, " I strongly urge you to research your facts before printing t hem" To say the least, duh! On h is point about the confusion and undermining that might take place, I think both Mr, Watkins' letter and Mr. Milo's article share the same probs. There seems to b e a hint of ' false dilemma' and an itty-bitty bit of assumptions phrased as facts. Having read Mr. Milo's article, I realized that " Draft legislation alive in senate" was as misleading a header, as 'athletic build' tends to be in Personals. By the conclusion of the article my worries concerning a draft were put to rest by all the quotes that suggested otherwise. I get the same catharsis, when I get to the ass-end of TV news and find that the 'thing I don't know that might kill me,' has the same odds as m y winning an argument with my better half. I agree the use of such sensationalistic journalism leaves a NutraSweet taste on my palette. The Pride should avoid those 'read this or s uffer' headers. On the other hand, I doubt anyone would have read ' Draft legislation a possible, maybe, not really, well sorta something they're not really thinking about in senate.' Mr. Milo did start his article o ff with all the icing, but after chewing upon it, I discovered it was a fruitcake. Same goes for Mr. Watkins. " Confuse the students," and "undermine the legislative process" are empty calories to swallow. As for facts, the d raft bill is a dead horse, and Ms. Milo (the addressee of Mr. Watkins' letter) pees standing up. Actually, I 'm assuming the p ee thing. But if my facts are wrong, 'Ms. Milo' should consider work as a bearded lady. A nd that concludes this f un filled lambaste upon lambasting. Don't forget to vote if you're able. There it is. I just collected my civic duty karma point for the day. Tocornermyno-noodle-eatinggone-commando self, send your tidbits t o nicho028@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu And Mr. Watkins, thank you for your juicy quotes, a card for a venti ex-lax is in t he mail. Dropping off the kids Bathroom manners do count BY POLLY CHAROENKWANCHAI Pride Staff Writer Have you ever "dropped off the kids?" Or made a "deposit to the b ank?" Have you built any log cabins lately? Perhaps you aren't well versed in bathroom euphemisms, but these events usually occur because of bad Chinese food or an unwise choice to have ice cream and Cheetos for lunch. Whatever the case may be, people like me usually find it difficult to use public bathrooms. I am an occasional germaphobe with performance anxiety. (Note to self: Must sanitize hands with anti-bacterial soap a fter using the computer lab.) Due to my heightened fear of dirt and all things dirty, I take the necessary precautions to ensure that my adventures in the public restrooms are as clean and safe as possible. Yes, I admit it: I triple seat for maximum coverage. I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers so that I am allowed to do my duty (no pun intended) with peace of mind. I do provide one warning when dealing with multiple covers: It takes more than one flush to get those suckers down. This might cause your fellow bathroom enthusiasts to wonder why you've flushed so many times and what you ate to create such a flurry of flushes. The automatic toilets we have on campus are terrific for people like me, if they only served to work when we needed them to. For instance, it is unpleasant to be the victim of a "drive-by flushing." This type of crime i s committed when the bathroom patron is not quite done with business, but becomes momen- I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers tarily disrupted by automatic and unwanted flushing. There is also the "delayed flushing" which occurs when the patron waits for 10 seconds or more before the toilet realizes that it must now dispose its contents. I suggest people use this time to reflect. These events must not be misconstrued with the "random flushing." This happens when there are many people in the restroom (perhaps people who will recognize you later in the day). As the name suggests, many people produce a random and spontaneous flush in order to distract other people from any turbulent sounds coming f rom your direction. This is detectable when the number of flushes being produced is higher than the amount of people in the bathroom. Lastly, there is the "conditional flushing." This takes the most amount of mental commitment and is not recommended for emergency situations. The conditional flushes are based on the experiments of Pavlov and his salivating dogs. It requires that you do your business in sync with other flushing toilets as to mask the thunderous noise you have produced. This move takes careful planning and coordination by listening for the sound of people entering the restroom as well as timing your "main event." These techniques apply under the assumption that y our "kids" are going to be loud, if you catch what I mean. They also imply that you are suffering f rom stage fright. For people who are hounded by this everyday dilemma, I suggest that you: 1. Change your diet 2. Learn which bathrooms carry the least traffic flow (hint: there's one that's virtually unused in the ACD building) 3. Accept that Mother Nature is a loud force of wind (last of the puns) that's just meant to be heard. If all else fails, just prairie-dog it. �10 Tuesday, October 19 2004 O Pi lI lNI V /O i lN Il V/l T HE PRIDE Dear Editor, I 'm writing this letter to let my fellow students know about a bad experience I had at a College Republicans/ Progressive Activists Network screening of the last presidential debate. After the debate a pre-chosen panel of six student speakers from both sides (republicans and democrats/liberals) were allowed four minutes each to speak about what they thought about the performance of their particular candidate. As each student took his/ her turn, one republican mentioned that he was disappointed that the audience turn out wasn't as good as they had hoped. There were about 20 students in the audience and many were friends or club members of the student panel. After all of the panel members finished their time to speak, the discussion was opened to the audience. After the first topic was ended, I brought up a topic that is very important to me. I directed my question to the republican panel members. As I was exchanging ideas with one panel member, another member was huffing and puffing, shaking his head in disagreement, and even decided to laugh at me while I was talking. He then took the microphone and began voicing his ideas. As the discussion continued, I mentioned reading some information from a book required for my Mass Media and Society class with Professor FrediAvalos. This panel member arrogantly stated that the book was written by communist and that it should be ignored. After he mentioned that, his College Republican friends began attacking the book also. The republicans then began attacking my ideas in a four-on-one fashion. I had also mentioned that the arrogant panel member should tell Professor Avalos that the book was written by communist and he arrogantly replied that he would tell her. One of his republican friends had also mentioned that the book had no references, which is completely false (I will be glad to provide the book information to anyone interested). After a few more minutes of republicans against me, the mediator inteijected and stated that we should not discuss one issue for too long and also corrected the arrogant panel member as he made false accusations during his speaking on the issue. It turns out that he didn't know as much about the topic as he thought he did! I was so surprised that my thoughts and ideas on that topic were treated so aggressively. I always assumed that in a democracy it is vital to exchange ideas in a respectful manner. In order to understand the issues we must hear both sides and it seems to me that the republicans are only interested in their side. How an arrogant, self righteous student was chosen for a panel is beyond me. Not to mention that I am sure that I will never attend any forums by these groups ever again. I think that the reason so few students attend these meetings might be because of the undemocratic environment and I will be sure to recommend NOT going to these forums for that reason. I would like to say that the other panel members did a good job and did treat me with respect. But it only takes a few to ruin the fun. I am in no way angry at anyone for not agreeing with me. It's when people begin talking down to me that the problem arises. So students beware, if you don't agree with the norm at one of these functions, you may be in for a "republicans vs. you" battle?! Claude Sayf Senior, Communications Major Letter to the Editor: This week students will vote on a referendum concerning the Early Learning Center (ELC), the childcare facility owned by our student government (ASI). So far, the ASI has supplied one-sided information for funding concerning the issue. Student leaders have not presented their constituents with the data necessary for making sound decisions on this important issue. We see posters hanging prominently in ASI office windows and prominent displays occupying the center tables at the Dome with sales pitches for funding the center. Why don't student government leaders present honest information? Over the years, the student body has subsidized the ELC with losses totaling about a million dollars (Student leaders have never released exact figures). Now we're being asked to increase our student fees by $10 to make up for projected shortages. That adds up to over $140,000 annually. The ASI's and The Pride both championed Michael Moore's recent appearance as a victory of free speech. But Moore's message was more than just to speak freely—it was to question that which doesn't make sense. Yet The Pride ran a story stating that the ELC would make 97 % of its costs through sources other than student fees. What is the ELC's total operating budget if the student body's $140,000 is only 3% of its funding? I am not arguing against childcare, I am arguing against our student government representatives' failure to keep their constituents informed. The 48 students who benefit from subsidized childcare every semester are certainly deserving, but their fellow students are just as deserving and at the very least, we deserve the right to be properly informed about voting issues. It's conceivable that one of us might come up with an alternative to the ASI's current all or nothing proposal. Steve Compian Graduate Student Dear Editor, I 'm sure you all know but in case you don't October 18th-21st are the dates for the voting for the Childcare Services Fee Referendum to keep the Early Learning Center open. The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned to ride a tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as^cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do the right thing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major �M O S D e f : The New Danger BY JASON ENCABO "TheNew Danger" Pride Staff Writer is now among u s and Mos Def is most definitely bringing something new t o the table. Maintaining his success as a rapper/actor, Mos Def has been featured in numerous films ("Italian Job"), music videos (Alicia Keys — "You Don't Know My Name") and of course songs (Kanye West - "Two Words"), leaving fans without a solo album since his 2002 release of "Black On Both Sides." Mos Def now re-enters the hip hop scene with a highly anticipated new album. Throughout "The New Danger," Mos Def experiments with a mixture of elements of rock, soul and certainly hip hop. He combines these elements to deliver the tradi- What Ü tional Mos Def style, along with a new sense of maturity. He often breaks the conventional pattern of verses and choruses placed throughout a song and formulates a songstructure of his own. I had trouble determining if some songs were actually songs, or if they were j ust long instrumentals or interludes. But after listening to the album in its entirety, I couldn't help but love it. "The New Danger" provides a very diverse assortment of songs, satisfying listeners of many genres. This album also thoroughly addresses the live aspect of music, bringing together a sound resembling artists like The Roots and Rage Against The Machine, all while maintaining the true sound of hip hop. Mos Def produced the album with help f rom Kanye West and several others to resemble various styles of music.

The South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, bring us another sterling piece of social satire, this time cloaked in vomit. "Team America: World Police" is not for the faint of heart (or mind), but is for anyone interested in broadening their world view beyond that of "socialist weasel" Michael Moore (hey, I'm just quoting the film here, don't get your thong in a bunch and start firing off emails to the ombudsman). But more to the point, this film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting, gratuitous violence by puppets on puppets, puppets speaking fake Arabic that sounds like your 8year old nephew talking gibberish and a puppet sex scene that will send you rolling in the aisle (while peeing your pants) if you ever participated in that quintessentially American childhood experience of manipulating Barbie and G.

Parker and Stone's political leaning should be apparent from their treatment of Moore and Film Actors Guild members Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, et al., (just in case you missed Parker and Stone's 2001 sitcom "That's My Bush!"), but as usual they don't let our side of the aisle off the hook, either: Team America goes after it's objectives without a twinge of remorse over collateral damage (though trust me, you'll be laughing at that, too), and the voice of I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. - a supercomputer that provides the team its information - is provided by none other than multiple-personality radio comedian Phil Hendrie (KFI-AM 640, weeknights 7-10 p.m., if you're not in oirthe joke, you're part of it, so listen in sometime). The choice to use puppets is brilliant: you can do things with a puppet (or more properly, a marionette) that just wouldn't work with the flat paper characters of South Park (though in an odd twist of fate, the puppets can't seem to walk any better This film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting than Kyle or Stan). If you forced me to find fault with this genius piece of work, I would probably pick on the soundtrack: I played the "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut" soundtrack in my car for at least a year after that film debuted, and my friends and I still break out in a nice rendition of "Uncle F**ka," "Kyle's Mom's a B**ch," or "It's Easy, MMMkay" every now and then. Theatergoers left this film singing the anthem "America, F**k Yeah," and the soundtrack definitely works, but "Team America: World Police" no musical (and I loves a good musical). Parker and Stone have said they aren't out to influence the election, but I still think you should run don't walk to your local Cineplex and see this film before you vote (just be sure to check your sensitivity and political correctness at the door). After all we are what we are. God bless America. F**k yeah! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

X II NO. 7 EIC to close Draft legislation alive in senate without passage of referendum Childcare services to end without new f unds BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Childcare services on campus will end a fter this semester unless students approve additional funding. Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) has owned and operated the Early Learning Center (ELC) which provides low cost childcare services for students, faculty, and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer be available. If no new f unding source i s acquired, childcare services at CSUSM will have to b e discontinued until December 2007 when the Center for Children and Families is expected to open. "These students would have to drop out of school if i t wasn't for this place," said Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference to students who have children in the ELC. Currently, 48 students have children enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35 students utilize the center f ull time and 13 use it part time. The ELC's curriculum provides an instruction that enables children to build self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting. There are 6 schedules to choose from for the f ull time program which consists of 8-9 hour days and 3 schedules to choose from for the part time program which consists of 4 hour days. Registration for children costs $23 for students, and $30 for faculty and staff per semester. In addition tuition costs at the ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time per day for students and $30 full-time and $20.00 part-time per day for faculty and staff. In addition to providing childcare, the ELC provides the campus with internships, employment opportunities, as well as a source for course projects and child observation. In an attempt raise the f unds needed to support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx. csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21. According to ELC projections 92 percent of f unds next spring will come f rom child registration and tuition fees, five percent of f unds will come f rom fundraising and grants, and three percent will c ome from the childcare fee if it is approved. If the fee is not approved the ELC will close. If the Childcare Services Fee passes, See ELC, page 4 Photo by SSgt. Cheryl A.

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services BY CHEZ ARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under consideration in the Senate. The latest version of United States Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal National Service Act of 2003, calls for a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women between the ages of 18-26. The bill in its most recent form offers no deferment for college students and makes it mandatory for wome n to sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently under review in the Senate Committee on Armed Services. According to one provision in the bill, "based upon the needs of the uniformed services, the President shall determine the number of persons" who shall b e called to serve. People "who are not selected for (the) military ... shall perform their national service obligation under this Act in a civilian capacity" S. 89 also gives the President power New York Times, free to students INSIDE News Registered to vote?« ...pg 2 What's behind the Alcohol BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer The New York Times is available to students at no charge for a four week trial period beginning Oct 11. There will be 500 New York Times newspapers distributed around campus Monday through Friday. At the end of trial period, Associated Students Inc. will decide whether or not to continue the service, which will cost $2,000 per month, or choose to have pay racks, like the North County Times, and have the students pay for each paper. "I think this is an amazing opportunity. We use the New York Times in so many of our classes.

Voter registration forms must be postmarked by October 18 in order to be eligible to vote in the November 2 general election. In order to be eligible to register to vote in the State of California, you must be a U.S. Citizen, a California resident, at least 18 years of age on or before the election, not be in prison or on parole for a felony conviction, and not be declared mentally incompetent by a court action. There are three ways to register to vote in thé state of California. One way is to download a registration form from the I nter- net, fill it out, and mail it in. Downloadable registration forms can be found on several websites including http://www.ss.ca. gov/elections/voteregl.html and www.rockthevote.org. Another way to register to vote is by obtaining, filling out and mailing in a registration postcard. Registration postcards are available at the DMV, the post office, at public libraries as well as the Kellogg Library on campus. The third way to register is to have a registration postcard mailed to you, fill it out, and mail it back. Those wishing to have registration postcard mailed to their residence should contact the Registrar of Voters main office at (858) 565-5800 and request a registration postcard. Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride Voter registration forms are available in English and in Spanish. If you are already registered to vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you move, change your name, or wish to change your party affiliation. Some people don't register to vote under the pretense that they will not be called for j ury duty, but this is not true. The list of registered voters is shared with the court system; however indi- viduals are already in the pool of people to be called for j ury duty if they have a driver's license or state-issued identification card. On Election Day a picture ID is required for first time voters who registered by mail. If you plan to vote through an absentee ballot, the option is provided on voter registration forms. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is October 2 6,2004.

Tickets are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring. By the time tickets became available to the public on the morning of October 7, there were 2,500 tickets to sell out of the total 10,000 tickets originally available. Tickets sold out on October 8. Penelope Young Andrade, a Rancho Penasquitos resident, feels that the decision to postpone ticket sales to the public was not executed as well as it could have been.

There will be no cameras, video equipment, or backpacks allowed into the event, and women's purses are subject to search. Aztec Shops will be selling Michael Moore paraphernalia such as books, hats, shirts, and CDs at the event.

In terms of getting more community turnout, it would have been better if it weren't postponed, or if it were made a little easier," said Andrade. Many of the community members who came to buy tickets were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales. "It's originally supposed to be for students, so it's understandable," said Heidi Pierce, a resident of Imperial Beach. ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending emails to CSUSM staff, posting it on their website, and providing a hotline for up-to-date information. The CSUSM College Republicans, other local college republicans, as well as many students and community members are planning to protest at the event. The protest is scheduled to occur from 4:30p.m.-7:30p.m. on the 2 Dart Boards, Pool Table, Foosball Table, Juke Box and EA's "PGA Tour" Golf 760-471-8773~www.churchiUspub.us Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

In order for S. 89 to become law, it would have to pass in the Senate as well as the House of Representatives. The nearly identical house version of the bill, HR 163, was unexpectedly brought to a vote on October 5. Republican Congressman John M. McHugh of New York motioned to bring the bill to a vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar. "Now some may say today that this legislation is really about the need to establish a system of national service— And I would say—that is a legitimate topic of discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of secret plans and post election plots is focused on a return of the draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the house. "The administration clearly, the Department o f Defense clearly, and I suspect that at the end of this vote it will be shown the House of Representatives clearly rejects the fact, either before an election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United States military." said McHugh prior to Tuesday's vote. The vote was 402 - 2 against the bill. Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, the original sponsor of HR 163, was unhappy with the rush to vote. "The Republican leadership decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen- Photo by Staff Sergeant Jonathon Agee / courtesy of the United States Marine Core Brothers, Parke and Jared Stearns recite the Oath of Enlistment at a Military Entrance and Processing Station for Recruiting Station Springfield, MA. dar (bring the bill to a vote early) is a political maneuver to kill rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the November election." said Rangel in a public statement released after the vote. Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of California, stated the intent of the legislation upon its introduction to the House of Representatives. "I ardently oppose war with Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill assures that any military service would not include combat. Oth- erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service for their country, as did our President. " "Reinstituting the d raft may seem unnecessary to some. But, it will ensure all Americans share in the cost and sacrifice of war. Without a universal d raft, this burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active military service. Who are we to know the pain of war when we ourselves will not directly bear the brunt of that action? It won't be us mourning the loss of a child or loved one. Maybe some of you in this Congress would think twice about voting for war in Iraq if you knew your child may be sent to fight in the streets of Baghdad?" said Stark. Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate both presidential candidates have made statements indicating there will be no d raft. "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft. We're not going to have a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops well. It works when we make sure they've got housing, like we have done in the last military budgets.

Our Guard and Reserves have been turned into almost active duty. You've got people doing two and three rotations. You've got stop-loss policies, so people can't get out when they were supposed to.

Felipe Sanchez, Junior and International Business major said that he told friends who were not sure whether they wanted to see Michael Moore that "it doesn't hurt to go and you don't have to agree with him, just go and see what he wants to talk about. The good thing about it is you can criticize what he says." Know your alcohol Requirement must be fulfilled this week BY KIN SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past summer will be required to take an alcohol prevention program. Students to which the requirement applies must successfully pass the final exam with a grade of 70 percent or better no later than October 15, 2004. Students that fail to complete the requirement will have a hold placed on their registration for spring 2005 classes. In order to satisfy the alcohol education requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which is on-line education course designed for college students. There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the course requires completion of a final exam and post-survey. The second part of the course requires the completion of a "course conclusion" which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December 7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education requirement. Informing students about the facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu. AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the Classroom, an online education company, and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses. The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance Abuse Advisory Council. The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff and members of the local community who work on alcohol prevention for the campus and the city of San Marcos. "The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to our students and chose Alcohol EDU as the tool for all of our incoming students to use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of Student and Residential Life and member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The course was designed to give students information to assist them into making wise decisions about alcohol use and let students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption." Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program is a broad-base population approach to establishing and reinforcing a norm around consumption," said Poullard. Students that have any questions about meeting the requirement can call Deb Fritsrold at Students and Residential Life @ (760)-750-4952.

Among the audience, was a panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood, CSUSM professor of political science, Beth Accomando, KPBS film critic, and Daniel McSwain, editorial page editor of the North County Times. The screening began at 6p.m. and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as laughter occasionally swept the room. Admission prices were $2.50 for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and $4 for other guests. A fter the screening, audience members exchanged opinions and views with each other and with the panel of speakers. The "When we collect infromation and opinions, we should consider both sides" topics ranged from the quality of the documentary to Michael Moore himself and to the question, "How much truth is portrayed in the documentary?" McSwain andGreenwood suggested when we collect information and opinions, we should If:.' M ICHAEL M O O R E ' consider both sides.

"The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour" The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas, waltzes, ballads and dancing called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of their shoes. "My family has always loved the Schuplatter tradition," said Erma Fassel, "which originated when the Germari village folk observed bird mating dances while playing classical music" "The Oktoberfest tradition started in the middle ages when King Ludwig 1 married Theresa of Saxon and threw a huge party for the event," said Bill Fassel, who is three-fourths Austrian and one-fourth Bavarian. It went so well that he decided to do it again next year. The tradition has lived on as a lavish party and celebrates the fall harvest in the Bundesland. In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places but mainly in the big city of Munich located in the southern province of Bavaria. The cultural event happens when the people set up nine huge tents, holding about 10,000 people each and having an authentic twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and visitors from around the world. A variety of different beers are served and traditional attire is worn to signify the history of the region. CSUSM's Oktoberfest was an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine. of ASI cultural events, and Jen Kitter, director of annual events. "The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks, sauerkraut and fried onions were also served. "If you missed the event, ASI has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait until next year," said Schroder. Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI. More than just nutritional bars PAID ADVERTISEMENT Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und BY ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer Lunafest is a traveling film festival that features movies and short films created by, for and about women. Cal State San Marcos got two chances to catch the Lunafest this year, once on October 8 and October 9. Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is presently an active sponsor of the Breast Cancer Awareness Fund. Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a more appropriate time to have the festival. The makers of the Luna-bar, Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of Clif Bar Inc. The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black Boot", "Wet Dreams and False Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted". The Breast Cancer Awareness Fund is a nonprofit organization focused on identifying the causes of breast cancer and preventing the disease. Cures for breast cancer can vary but the extreme involves removing the breast. Portions of the profits from ticket sales go to the Breast Cancer Fund. The first ever Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001. Although, last year $21,500 was raised. The next stop for the Lunafest is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip across the U.S. Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to Boston and even Canada. The Lunabar also sponsors other groups such as the Luna Chix, the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar. If you're a LUNA-tic, more information is available at www. lunabar.com.

There have been quite I a few sports movies that have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game" with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those guys but they don't belong on the field trying to imitate athletes. Actors trying to play coaches hasn't exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which was not one of his greatest performances. So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was going to play the part of head coach Gary Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have the best feeling. However, Billy Bob did not disappoint in this role. He played the role of the head coach of the Permian High Panthers in the small town of Odessa, Texas. Permian high was profiled in an issue of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in the Texas state football championship. In small towns of Texas, high school football is everything to the people. The entire town shuts down on Friday nights so that everyone can catch the game. With so much focus on the sport, the student athletes and coaches feel the pres- DEGREE sure to perform. The star running back for the Panthers was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke) who had his ticket written to pretty much any college until he got hurt the first game of the season with a knee injury. Boobie felt so much pressure that he tried to come back too early and he f urther injured his knee. Many kids who play football feel extra pressure because their dads were great football players and such was the case of Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his father for not living up to what his father accomplished when he played football. For some kids in these small towns their only ticket out is through football and such was the case for quarterback Mike Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of him at the beginning of the season. The story of Coach Gaines is then intertwined with those young kids showing that the athletes aren't the only ones who have to overcome a lot of pressure and expectations. This story is a story that the non sports fan will even enjoy as it is more a story about people and their shortcomings that they can overcome with perseverance.

FROM THE RIGHT Mother Nature loves you. If you think about it, she's pretty damn tolerant. People litter the world with their trash and pollute the air Polly Charoenkwanchai around them, yet she is constantly attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We assume that she can do this fast enough to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life of a student, there is little or no time to think about the environment. Most of us are hypocrites. We say we care about the nature of the world while almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22! I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska, but I love my little Honda Civic which consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing their habitat, but that doesn't make me want to walk to work. So what is the solution? Should we forgo cars and live off the land? I believe that there are little things people can do to help Mother Nature help us: Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt to walk the extra eight steps to dispose your garbage. Carpool. It saves money, it helps the environment and you have your own specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike if you live in San Marcos and work in Poway, but you can certainly bike to the market down the block. Once again, it saves money, it helps the environment and provides great exercise. You know those trashcans that are specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are cans that help people recycle. They're all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to figure out where you should dump your soda can. Recycling allows less trash to be sent to the landfills, thereby saving natural resources such as trees, oil and aluminum. The Bush administration passed a Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts air pollution by installing new pollution, control that will regulate major factory upgrades. This act would work if they did not also propose a revision to the rules called the New Source Review, which would make it simple for these plants to find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies. This administration has also proposed to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national forest, thereby allowing logging on more open land. The Bush administration has consistently proposed laws that hurt the environment. Although Kerry has had his share of blemishes (he voted against the maintenance of forest road service and wildlife habitat programs), but he is endorsed by the Sierra Club, a national e nvironmental organization. Kerry has voted to protect California deserts. He has proposed to end commercial whaling and illegal trading on whale meat. Kerry has voted repeatedly to block oil drilling in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge). Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we do something to help the precious and fragile condition of the earth. Whether your course of action leads you to the voting booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities towards Mother Nature before it's too late. Some days at CSUSM I feel like the lone buoy of moderate conservatism floating in a sea of radical liberals: professors preach the futility Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq — and regime change in November ~ f rom their classroom pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal group on campus and Kerry buttons on back packs appear to outnumber Bush buttons at least a thousand to one. But I never feel alone when it comes to environmental issues. I, too, have a fondness for clean air and water and space for wildlife. I recycle what I can on campus, and curbside at my house (paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, and clean greens). I quit commuting to reduce my car's emissions (and my stress level). I ride my scooter to work when the weather's Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride nice to save energy. And I'm religious about turning off lights and keeping my water use to a minimum. It warms the cockles of my heart to see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool spaces in our parking lots, but I've also seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage, garbage left for someone else to pick up, and students being dropped off in front of Craven by family or friends rather than being inconvenienced by public transportation. One of my biggest on-campus pet peeves is those among us who use the electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's probably not a huge amount of wasted electricity, and I have no argument if your hands are f ull or you really do have trouble opening a door for yourself, but I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience. How each of us chooses to treat the environment is something that can't be legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the state can mandate that the school recycles a certain volume of refuse, but unless you choose to put your recyclables into the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream. You're also the only one who can choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste ~ take care of your clothes so they last longer, and bring a reusable mug with you to pour your organically grown coffee in. The government can legislate lower emissions for cars, but you're the one who controls what manufacturers offer based on what cars you buy. And legislation is useless when it comes to whether or not you choose to alter your lifestyle in order to reduce the number of miles you drive each year, or whether or not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest in companies that treat the environment (and their workers) well. Who would you rather have r unning a major corporation: a person whose only motivation for corporate responsibility is legislated, or a person who believes in the principal of personal responsibility and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business? �OPINION \JJL THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 12 2004 •¡J By JASON NICHOLS Pride Ombudsman Moore info, Moore tickets, No Moore Michael, Moore shafting.

The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned toridea tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do therightthing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major Dear pride/editor: For the last weeks it seems that all you write about is Michael Moore.When the controversy began there were even four more pages of the edition. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write. AtfirstI thought that the writters only wrote about events that gave out free food. There was a report about the president's pick-nick and the recycling thing, both events gave out free food. But between those two events there was another event that gave free food but there was nothing written about it. Maybe it was because it was a celebration of the Mexican independence day. Or maybe it was because MEChA was an organizer of that event. I do not know the answer but I thought that a cultural event that included dance and poetry would be something to be reported about, but it was not the case. This week we have some more Michael Moore news, and I bet that next week there will be some more. There was another event that I think was important but the Pride did not take into consideration writting about it. This event was announced the universtity's home page. I'm referring to Preview Day which was held last Saturday here on campus. It is the first year that this event takes place here and it was organized by the University Outreach and Recruitment. There were many people that worked hard to put this event together and again the Pride didn't write about it. Thank you for your time. Carmelino Cruz (HD Major) Listen. Process. Help.

Lunafest has it all for Cake: Pressure Chief BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer M BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Any man daring enough to wear pink is alright in my book. So imagine my intrigue when picking up Cake's latest album Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were covered in vintage-inspired pink decals. Pressure Chief is by far Cake's most eclectic album yet. The band stretches the genre of ska to its fullest extent by including so many things not typically heard in the alternative rock category. There are trumpets galore, mostly present in the first song "Wheels" but they're used throughout the entire album. The banjo is prominent in "End of the Movie" to convey the mood of an old picture. Overall, this album is so diverse that you really need to listen to every song to get the feel of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic than the last and everything just works well together. "No Phone" is the second track and is headlining the record. It's very much electronica-inspired and has the catchiest tune out of a Cinderella story with a modern twist, Prince Charming was a woman.

'Fare'ly awful BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer Saturday Night Live is a hit, but we can't say the same thing for Jimmy Fallon's acting career. The lead role of police officer Washburn is played by Fallon. Washburn is striving to please his police officer father by being a prestigious upholder of the law. In his attempts to obtain this dream, Washburn encounters many obstacles, the number one obstacle being his phobia of driving. "Taxi" opens with Washburn in undercover attire blowing a case and then proceeding to wreck a squad car, an aspect he is known for among his force. He then becomes the laughing stock of the NYPD due to a newspaper cover story of his idiocy. Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes his driver license and sends him walking. While walking home a bank robbery in progress is called into Washburn's radio. Quick to redeem himself Washburn flags down a taxi, but not just any taxi, the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on an ongoing pursuit of a gang of four beautiful Brazilian models, I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret model Gisele Bundchen. When we as viewers go to see movies like "Taxi" we don't expect to see the greatest movie ever, but we do expect to get some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment. While I did have the occasional laugh, it was short, and usually inspired by Belle, not our leading man Washburn. Queen Latifah's role of Belle and even the role of Washburns drunkard mother (Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie lacks the one- liners that make comedies successful. While a fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to cross over his comedic act on to the big screen. I do not recommend this movie.

The Italian translation of "grappa" literally stands for grape pomace acquavite: "water of life". Grappa was first produced in Italy around 1000 A.D. It used to be considered a poor man's drink. However, during the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology and v ast improvements in wine production all contributed to the reincarnation of grappa which is now known to be an elegant Italian brandy.

Fire alarms, located in each apartment near the stove and restroom, have been the major disturbance at the UVA. There have been 65 false alarms since the beginning of the semester. "The fire alarms are sensitive, they have to be, to avoid fires," said Brian Dawson, director of UVA. "They go off more frequently in the beginning of the year as students have to understand where the sensitivity level is at." The maj ority of false alarms on campus are from cooking. Only two false alarms this semester are from something else, one from steam and one from a blow dryer. "The first day I moved in I made pizza and it set off the alarm," said resident Robert Bothmer. "Since then every time I cook it seems they go off, but I gotta eat." Every time an alarm goes off a police officer is sent to make sure there isn't a fire and the Resident Assistant (RA) on call goes to See UVA, page 2 Moore info, Moore tickets TUESDAY, O CTOBER 5, 2 004 VOL. XII NO. 6 ASI, Moore decide to halt ticket sales to community to avoid early sellout BY LINDSAY RIEDEL Pride Staff Writer Michael Moore's scheduled tour stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on October 12 has created such an overwhelming demand for tickets that sales to non-students have been discontinued until October 7. Since Wednesday, September 29, distribution of tickets has been reserved for students, and each student is allowed only his or her one free ticket. Any addiJional ticket purchases must be done when regular ticket sales resume on Thursday, October 7 at 8:30 a.m. On the morning of September 29, it was agreed between Moore's representatives and ASI that priority would be given to students in regards to the distribution of tickets. According to Manal Yamout, president of ASI, this decision is due to the fact that on the first day of sales, 4,000 out of a total of 10,000 tickets were distributed, and a large majority of those tickets were sold to the community. ASI and Moore representatives felt it was necessary to give students priority in the ticket sales to make sure all students have the opportunity to get a ticket before the supply runs out. The tickets are not limited to CSUSM students but are available to all students with valid identification. The decision to hold off all sales has sparked unrest with community members who were told tickets would be available as of Tuesday, September 28. Because of the sudden decision and the See MOORE, page 2 x Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Students wait in line to receive their free ticket for Michael Moore's October 12 appearance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Professor John Halcon waited in line for 45 minutes before he was told that tickets were reserved for students only. "There was a sign on the window but no sign toward the end of the line. You aren't going to walk up to the window, then go to the back of the line," said Halcon. " I'm irritated, not mad; I don't know if I'm going to go now, I don't know if I'll be able to get in line next week when they're ready to sell to people." Shortly after Halcon reported his experience, ASI displayed signs at the end of the line. By creating a time period for only students to receive tickets, students are not able to purchase tickets for family and friends at the same time. "I feel it's an unfortunate turn of events," said John Gehris, executive vice president of ASI.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. Concerning Moore's appearance, there are mixed feelings, but most students are passionate in their position on the subject. "I've been raised as a Democrat, I've read his books and seen his movies," said Emily Broedling, senior communications major. "I know he's one-sided but it's good to hear that side because you usually only hear the other side," Tenzin Peling, first year liberal studies major, also describes herself as a supporter of Michael Moore. "He's voicing his opinion and that's his right. He's just trying to open people's eyes," said Peling. "Everyone will be biased no matter what; I know it's his opinion and I can either agree or disagree." Second year student Bryan Davis feels differently on the subject. "Everything (Moore) says is unbalanced and he takes everything to an extreme," said Davis. " I'm not supporting him. I feel he's a threat to national security by trashing our president." Mark Wilson, first year business major, feels Moore is deceitful. "He's trying to sell his view- point by twisting the facts," said Wilson. A large majority of the cost of Moore's appearance has been covered by donations f rom the community, businesses and individuals. One of the substantial donations was made by the Herring Broadcast Company. Chris Moore, director of programming for Herring Broadcast Company (no relation to Michael Moore), facilitated and supported the decision for the donation made by President of Herring Broadcast Company, Robert Herring Sr. "Young people should be encouraged to involve themselves in the political process. As a member of the media, it is our responsibility to promote f ree speech," said Chris Moore. "It was a way to make a statement of our support for the students' apparent passion and helping students do something. (CSUSM) students made a strong statement, UVA, f rom page 1 , investigate. If the alarm is triggered f rom a stove a call is made to University Police who will then reset it, said Lt. Doug Miller of University Police. Although the alarm only sounds in the room where it was triggered, students in nearby units are still affected. "I haven't had any go off," said resident Erik McLeod. "But I can hear other alarms going off right down the hall." But not all students have had a problem with false alarms. "They haven't bothered me," Photo by Cliezare Milo the Palm Court Plaza.

Some students have also encountered problems with mold. Several apartment residents have found mold growing in their carpets, window seals and showers and even in ceilings. Olivia Roldan discovered her mold problem when she noticed a " funky smell." Caity Ries found mold growing inside her window seals. In both instances they called the front desk and the problem was fixed immediately. "The majority o f mold problems come from the air conditioner. If residents leave it on really low temperature for a long time then it (the A/C unit) will freeze," said Sonya Maestas, an RA. "When it starts to thaw out it drips and can cause mold." "But if someone calls about mold, we (RA's) call maintenance and they fix it right away," said Maestas. Cassie Johnson had a different problem. She went into her bathroom and noticed the light above was dripping and a large puddle covered the floor. The shower in the unit above had leaked and flooded her bathroom below. She called the front desk. "They came right away and cut out a part of the ceiling and replaced it with plaster," said Johnson.

If you're a beer enthusiast then you definitely recognize the difference between quality beers and stank beer. Stone Chief Executive Greg Koch and co-founder/brewmaster Steve Wagner set out seven years ago to produce beers with character that could be enjoyed by all. "The first year and a half, Stone Brewery was seeing substantial losses," said Koch. "It's hard to know if you're making a mistake by continuing production." Yet, Greg and Steve had a vision and the guts to push forth with production, even when things were looking down. Another aspect of the stone culture is the representation of gargoyles. "All of our beers feature a gargoyle on the bottle because they symbolize the big character of our beers," said Koch. Two of the largest user-based rating websites ratebeer.com and beeradvoate.com have both rated Stone Brewery as the number one American brewery out of 3400 breweries. Stone really put their name on the map when they first released Arrogant Bastard Ale (7.2% Ale/ Vol) in November of 1997. Other beers that have received much acclaim are Stone Ruination IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol), Stone Lévitation Ale (4.4% Ale/Vol) and Stone IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol).

According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary ataxia means, an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some nervous disorder.

Going into this inaugural season in the new Petco Park most Padres fans were expecting a winning season, including me. If you save all my previous columns like I know you do then you can go through your scrapbook all the way back to a previous Jock Talk that came out on March 16, 2004 where I wrote, "San Diego baseball fans are more hopeful than usual for the start of the 2004 season.. .fans also expect a winning team after five long years of losing." The Padres turned my hopes into a reality by producing their first winning season since 1998, but as great as this season was it still ended up being a disappointment and I am part to blame. I went to 10 Padres games this year and not once did they send me home a happy Padres fan, losing all 10 games while I was in attendance. With the Padres narrowly missing the playoffs I can't help but realize the amazing coincidence that the Padres did not win while I was in attendance. But, was it just a coincidence or was I a jinx?

Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" has been resurrected and is now for sale at chain electronic stores. Released in 1915, the silent film accounts the friendship between a northern family, the Stonemans, and a southern family, the Cameron's during pre/post Civil War era, President Lincoln's assassination and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). I used the term "resurrected" for three reasons. First, it was made before Hollywood existed, and now it's been released on DVD. Second, we see first hand of the roots of filmmaking. And thirdly, it's possibly the first film to use political ideals onscreen. I admit this was the first silent picture film I've seen. But we've all heard the phrase "A picture if worth a thousand words." And f rom these pictures, anyone can learn Griffith's own prejudices and the racism during thefilmand the controversy that sparked after the film. As a movie critic, this is one o fthe rare I don't know why anybody, including occasions that the plot is not important in Griffith, would want any part of this film, a critique. It's what symbolized, portrayed Maybe they thought they could tell a story and surrounds the film is important. But the way it really happened. Or maybe I'll be fair for those that would like to know they thought they could be the first to use the plot. The two families, the Stonemans political ideals in a film. Or maybe they and the Cameron's, were friends until the thought the best way to be remembered is Civil War erupted which caused the sons being the villain. Or maybe they thought of each family sent to fight each other on to sell a film is to sell controversy. I agree the battlefield. that controversy sells.

The liars are everywhere on campus. I know this because I'm one of them. Disgusted with myself, I nod when people ask me if I'm going to vote. "Hell, yes!" I say as I scurry in the direction of my class. Yet I know I won't. The funny thing is, I take a sick pride in knowing that I am not alone. On this campus, I have run into likeminded folks who smile at the student protests, get loud at the indecencies of government, perhaps shake a fist in the air saying, "Fees, fees we can't pay these!" You know who you are. We are the ones who silently stand by and listen very carefully until we make eye contact. Then we out each other, carefully so as not to make a scene, though. I can feel it now, the comfort of the knowing stare and smile that says, "Yes, friend, you may seek refuge with me and the other big-talking-no-voting villagers." Please don't mistake my tone for pride. I hate the fact that the gumption I have for voting dissipates as soon as I park my car in the dirt and walk up that jerk of a sidewalk. Lazy? So what. As available as registering is, I have never even come close to "locking the vote." Some students have legitimate reasons. Tomy Gysi, a Literature and Writing senior, who is in fact registered to vote, doesn't feel either candidate is worthy A +substitutes, aids, and S UBS P reschool t eachers.

I can't sit at Tom's lunch table because he has actually heard from both sides, taken it all in, and has come to a well informed conclusion. Good man. Joe Inixienginai, a Business major, simply feels that choosing is losing since it would be the "Same old, same old." More my style. My favorite voter immunity is Liberal Arts student Alanna Colepietro who lashes out, " I'm Canadian." These are just three non-voting students I have come across. Where's our protest against voting in general? Why should we be ashamed or hide in the darkest corners of Craven? Where's our red, white and blue bumper stickers that say, "Don't blame me, I voted for m e!" While I truly do understand the history making election that is upon us, I can't seem to muster up and sustain the urgency to vote. I'm busy avoiding the credit card people. I'm busy picking up dog poop. I'm watching the heavy rotation of the MTV Music Awards. Simply put, if Andre 3000 dressed in his political best can't get me to vote, I doubt anything can. pregna j apr h ealt c hoice! m ake i nformed, c onfident 2 7 7 5* R a n c h o S a n t i F e U é S an M a r c o s m o r e Info?. |f birthchoice.net The University Studies Abroad Consortium, with programs in 24 countries, allows students to master languages and study disciplines — including business, fine arts and history — at distinguished, overseas schools* Soak up the vibrant culture and be transformed by the experience of living in a foreign land. * Summer, semester and yearlong programs * Wide range of aeademit courses * Internships • Language classes at all levels • Field trips and tours * Small classes • University credit * Scholarships • Housing Màl àtiswers* real help abroadU , CNOTM„ .^ OSRI —u w —t^ Ò+U, �A&E THE PRIDE Looking back at: The Roots: The Tipping Point BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer Climbing the "Ladder 49" BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer I walked into the theater expecting to see "Ladder 49" as a movie that makes firefighters seem like heroes to the point that Superman couldn't measure up to them even on his best day a firefighter.

X �Above: The entire cast of "RENT". Below: Roger and Mimi gaze into each other's eyes. Photos courtesy of Susan Chicoine. No day like today BY CHRISSY BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer The Broadway musical, RENT, is about young people, such as ourselves, who are faced with all the difficulties and hardships that come with just starting out in life. How do we stay true to ourselves against the trials and tribulations of the world and still be able to make rent each month? RENT, the musical, is about a group of young friends living in New York City (the center of the world), and how they deal with relationships, AIDS, death and the inability to make the monthly rent. There are eight main characters. (Try to keep up) Benny, former roommate of Roger and Mark who now owns the building they live in and is demanding rent for a full year. Mark, a young filmmaker, who lives with Roger and used to date Maureen. Roger, HIV positive musician, who lives with Mark and is in love with Mimi. Mimi, HIV positive exotic dancer with a drug habit. Collins, best friend to Roger and Mark, falls in love - with Angel. Angel, HIV positive drag queen. Maureen, performance artist that dumped Mark for Joanne. Joanne, a recent law school graduate, now dating Maureen. The story is told through music, song and dance. From the moment Roger and Mark took the stage, the audience roared with applause and cheers, and not a word had been spoken. Mark opens the scene, the band starts playing, Mark begins to sing and it feels like you're at a rock concert. The songs are infectiously optimistic, even though they tell the tale of heartbreak, struggle and death. The underlying theme throughout the play was sung in "No day like today". Even though the characters battle the hardships of disease, destitution and death of loved ones, the message is that there is only today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. We can't live our lives feeling sorrow or regret, we need to focus on what we do have right now and do the best we can with it. - In the beginning of the second act, the entire cast sings in unison: "Five hundred twentyfive thousand, six hundred minutes. . .how do you measure a life in a year?" RENT takes the audience through a year in the lives of the main characters. In that year, relationships flourish and fade. They each have a personal struggle to connect with each other and with themselves. The entire production is a moving illustration of the trials w e face as young adults living in America. We are all trying to find our place in this world, but it is especially hard when, as the cast sings, "you are what you own". If you don't own anything, does that mean you are nothing? RENT inspires hope that our materialistic society will change and what should matter, will matter. The message is that only love matters and it is what we do with the love we are given and the love we have to give that makes us who we are. Since its debut on Broadway in 1996, RENT has earned a Pulitzer Prize and 12 Tony Awards. It is definitely a play for all to see and experience. RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, he died days after its first opening night, but his story still lives on. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

little � doubt � that � you � may � have � questions � regarding � this � issue � of � the � Pride. � It � is � a � break � from � our � traditional � format, � and � is � a � break � from � newspaper � style � in � general. � The � Pride � editors � would � like � to � provide � some � insight � to � this � issue. � � � The � Pride � office � was � moved � [sic] � the � course � of � last � week � to � a � new � office � located � in � Academic � Hall. � As � a � condition � of � this � move, � The � Pride � was � to � receive � two � computers � to � supplement � our � ability � to � produce � our � newspaper. � � � The � move � was � addled � with � bureaucratic � manipulation. � The � move � was � partially � completed � by � two � separate � departments: � IITS � and � Facility � Services. � � � Once � in � the � new � office, � our � computers � had � not � been � delivered � nor � could � they � be � located � or � accounted � for. � At � the � very � least, � we � thought � we � could � function � as � normal � when � our � existing � computers � were � moved � to � the � new � office � the � following � day. � � � However, � during � the � IITS � move � of � our � existing � computers, � the � hard � drive � of � our � layout � computer � crashed � and � no � one � knew � if � the � data � could � be � recovered. � Without � our � template � and � files � we � would � be � creating � a � newspaper � from � scratch. � � � By � Thursday, � the � situation � escalated � because � we � still � did � not � have � our � new � computers. � We � checked � with � the � data � recovery � effort � and � were � assured � that � we � were � on � the � lowest � rung � of � importance: � no � matter � who � or � what � department � on � campus � had � a � computer � problem � they � would � get � priority � over � us. � � � We � asked � for � help � from � the � administration � to � locate � and � deliver � our � new � computers � and � to � see � to � it � that � we � had � a � higher � priority � for � our � data � to � be � recovered. � We � were � told � that � it � was � our � problem � to � deal � with. � We � were � told � that � we � needed � to � be � creative � and � find � a � way � to � produce � our � paper � without � our � layout � computer. � Indeed, � we � got � creative. � [Dear � Reader � cont. � p.2] � � 2 � Tuesday, � September � 28, � 2004 � [Dear � Reader, � from � pg.1] � � From � our � brainstorming � sessions, � the � hand- written � Pride � was � born. � The � idea � served � the � dual � purpose � of � getting � a � paper � on � the � newsstands � for � the � readers � and � demonstrating � to � the � administration � our � resilience � in � the � face � of � idling � bureaucracy. � � THANK � YOU, � � [signatures] � � � CSUSM � Protests � �Last � Thursday, � 200- 300 � students � protested � the � cancellation � of � filmmaker � Michael � Moore’s � scheduled � visit � to � campus. � � � Students � and � faculty � gathered � in � front � of � University � Hall � at � 11 � A.M. � in � order � to � exercise � their � freedom � of � speech. � � � “Claim � your � Education � Freedom � of � Information” � was � the � slogan. � Students � carried � signs � and � wore � baseball � caps � to � voice � their � opposition. � The � event � attracted � the � attention � of � many � students, � faculty � and � local � media. � � � A � variety � of � speakers � including � students, � professors, � and � other � community � members � encouraged � students � not � to � stay � silent � but � to � voice � their � opinions. � � � “Do � you � know � our � names? � We � are � tomorrow � and � today” � sang � senior � Heather � Vance, � one � of � the � protest � organizers. � She � sang � a � song � urging � students � not � to � be � silenced. � She � challenged � the � administration � to � “let � us � get � involved � in � our � education.” � � � One � of � the � speakers � for � the � event, � Associate � Professor � Sharon � Elise � said � that � when � she � heard � Moore � wasn’t � coming � she � was � “shocked.” � She � asked � the � students � during � her � speech, � “What � is � so � scary � about � Michael � Moore? � Did � I � hear � someone � say � donors?” � � Encouraging � students � to � vote � was � a � common � theme � among � the � speakers. � � [Protest � cont. � p.2] � �

cancellation, � was � among � those � present � at � the � protest. � “I � hope � we � will � learn � something.” � When � asked � if � she � was � Republican, � Haynes � said � “That � was � not � part � of � my � decision.” � � “We � really � feel � supported, � noticed � and � heard,” � said � student � Aamora � Ysrael. � When � asked � if � the � event � will � make � a � difference � she � said, � “I � don’t � know � if � it � will � or � not. � The � important � thing � is � that � the � students � have � tried. � It’s � remarkable � to � see � students � come � together � in � such � big � numbers.” � � “It � was � an � incredibly � important � political � lesson � about � the � power � of � organized � protest. � People � should � remember � because � this � is � how � change � happens,” � said � Assistant � Professor � Lance � Newman. � “Students � did � a � great � job. � I � hope � this � is � the � beginning � of � a � lively � political � discussion � on � campus.” � �

Last � Wednesday, � September � 22, � students � and � staff � gathered � on � the � Kellogg � Library � terrace � for � a � “Thank � you � for � Recycling” � celebration. � There � were � games, �

with � recycling � and � encourage � students � to � recycle � more,” � said � Carl � Hanson � a � Green � member � who � helped � organize � the � event. � � � � State � law � requires � public � institutions � to � recycle � 50 � percent � of � their � waste. � As � of � January � 2004, � CSUSM � was � recycling � 56.2 � percent � of � campus � wasted. � CSUSM � has � the � highest � standing � for � recycling � among � CSU � campuses, � according � to � the � Green � Team. � � � The � campus � recycling � program � has � become � a � huge � success � because � students � seem � to � have � become � very � environmentally � conscious. � Students’ � willingness � to � recycle � has � helped � our � university � save � over � $100, � 000. � “The � university � doesn’t � have � to � pay � as � much � for � trash � disposal � due � to � the � increase � in � recycling, � and � subsequent � decrease � in � amount � of � trash,” � said � Hanson. � � � The � goal � of � the � Green � Team � if � for � CSUSM � to � become � a � waste � free � campus. � Students � and � faculty � can � help � the � Green � Team � reach � their � goal � by � becoming � more � aware � of � which � materials � can � be � recycled. � For � example � the � plastic � cups � from � Starbucks � are � recyclable. � For � more � information � on � what � items � can � be � recycled, � to � to � the �

was � banned � from � baseball � for � gambling � on � the � sport � while � managing � the � Cincinnati � Reds. � � 15 � years � ago, � Pete � Rose � was � caught � betting � on � baseball � and � he

� be � that � everything � in � his � movie � about � our � president � is � true? � � � I � had � to � see � Michael � Moore’s � movie � twice � because � I � almost � couldn’t � believe � what � I �

Elaine � Braun � Liberal � Arts � Major � � � [hand- drawn � image � of � a � mailbox � with � “the � Pride” � written � on � the � side] � � Dear � Editor, � � � � I � am � shocked � students � are � willing � to � spend � over � $30,000 � to � bring � Michael � Moore � to � Cal � State � San � Marcos. � As � a � former � students � of � CSUSM � and � a � taxpayer � I � am � outraged � that � anyone � would � want � to � use � these � scarce � funds � on � a � single � event. � I � think � the � money � would � be � better � spent � on � hiring � additional � professors � to � have � more � classes � to � offer � for � the � upcoming � spring � semester. � � � I � may � not � agree � 100% � with � Michael � Moore � and � would � have � no � problem � with � addressing � the � campus. � The � problem � I � have � with � him � is � the � cost. � He � is � a � millionaire � that � claims � to � care � about � the � common � man. � What � kind � of � person � that � truly � cares � about � the � poor � charges � a � public � university � over � $30,000 � to � speak � at � their � campus? � Someone � that � is � after � money. � He � has � made � so � much � money � from � his � last � movie, � his � speaking � tour � should � be � free � everywhere. � I � am � sure � someone � would � be � willing � to � give � up � a � bed � or � two � in � order � for � Michael � Moore � to � come. � � � If � the � students � are � so � concerned � about � Free � Speech � on � campus � why � have � they � not � challenged � the � campus � to � make � the � entire � area � a � Free � Speech � zone? � Yet � people � thing � to � take � in � mind � the � idea � of � Free � Speech � is � to � offend � someone � because � everybody � does � not � have � the � same � opinion. � To �

The debate took place in Founders Plaza from 10a.m. to lp.m. Topics explored at the debate included the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism as well as various other current political and social issues. PAN was represented by Lanysha Adams and Cheyenne Barr. Ashley Stuart and Nick Bonomi represented the positions of the College Republicans. The debate drew a crowd pf some 45-50 students. The debate became heated at times as both sides sought to explain their respective positions on each issue. Some issues were discussed as partisan positions rather than responses to specific questions. At times both groups agreed in part on some of the topics. "I - really think we need a regime change," said Barr, PAN vice president of external affairs, on the issue of who should be the next president, "and that we need Kerry to be our president to keep year's deficit of $2.5 million. Allison said that as a result of the nearly $1 million in funds being returned to Cal State San Marcos there will be an additional 159 full-time students allowed to enroll this fall. 15 class sections are also being added to the fall class schedule. Enrollment in the additional courses is open until Wednesday, September 22. There is no petition required to add these sections and no late fees will be assessed. This year CSUSM prepared Students and faculty responded last week to President Karen S. Haynes and the Executive Council's decision to remove school funding directed towards financing the scheduled appearance of controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. President Haynes released a statement on Wednesday Sep^HHH tember 13 citing * Michael Moore several reasons for the cancellation. In the statement Haynes said, "The proposed date, only a few weeks away, does not allow time to identify and secure a speaker of comparable significance who can provide a balancing perspective during this election year." "Universities are about the exchange of ideas. Some ideas are uncomfortable, but being exposed to them is how we become confident or our own beliefs and values. That said, however, it is important that discussions be balanced," said Haynes. "The University recognizes the need to present diverse points of view. Therefore we will delay Mr. Moore's appearance until later in the academic year, and after the election, pending agreement between his schedule and ours, and until we can consider how to provide a balancing perspective." In response to the cancellation 64 members of the faculty signed an open letter directed to the President and the executive council. The letter dated September 15 expressed "strong opposition to the Executive Council's decision to postpone Michael Moore's scheduled speaking engagement..." "We feel that this decision repeats a disturbing pattern of See BUDGET, page 2 See MOORE, page 3 Photos by Peter S chwartz / The Pride Above: Ashley Stuart and Nicholas Bonomi of the College Republicans present their argument last Tuesday.

See DEBATE, page 2 CSUSM receives neerly $1 million in budget money BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is in the midst of a budget deficit for the third consecutive year as a result of state education budget cuts. " (B^get year) 2004-05 was probably the worst of the three years. This was the first time that the campus had been told to reduce its target enrollment," Terry Allison, Interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Finance and Administrative Services, said. As a result of these cuts in enrollment 200 fewer students were allowed to enroll at Cal State San Marcos this fall semester than the previous year. In the CSU system, monies are allocated according to full time student enrollment. This year enrollment was cut by 23,000 students statewide in order accommodate the decrease in state education funding. This continues the trend of reduction in enrollment in the CSU system. Last year, 250 fewer students were admitted at CSUSM than the previous year due to cuts in the state university system budget. CSUSM's budget was originally cut by $3.8 million this year. However on the day that the CSU system budget was signed $40.5 million was reallocated back to the entire CSU system. Cal State San Marcos received nearly $1 million - $995,914 to be exact - of the $40.5 million in returned student revenues; however, it was not enough to truncate the university's remaining $2,430,781 net deficit for this fiscal year. Had the University not received this additional funding, this year's budget deficit would have exceeded last �Editorial Staff Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin Michael Dolan Layout Design & Photo Editor Jason Encabo A & E Editor Chrissy Baldwin Features Editor Eric Mercado News Editor Chezare Milo Business Manager Nicole Pilcher Adviser Jenifer Woodring Staff Writers Erika Bales Sarah Coleson Jared Devore Amira El-Khaouli Patricia Guevarra Heather Hoffman Ryan James Amanda Johnson Christopher King William Lemon Phoenix Lindgren Tiffany Lin Daniel Lowe Maribei Mayo Jamarr Patrick Scott Phillips Katie Powers Lindsay Riedel Joshua Sandoval Kim Schlatter Peter Schwartz Liza Valdez Karlene Wiegand All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not nec essarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos* Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board, Photos by Peter Schwartz / The Pride DEBATE, from page 1 America safe and free." Barr added, "I really hope that Kerry will get elected. I like what he stands for with things like the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, (and) the war on our civil liberties." "We are obviously support- ing George W. Bush and I find it to be unfortunate that Kerry doesn't stand for anything at all," said Stuart, chair of the College Republicans. "I can't pick one thing he has been consistent on." "I disagree with all of his (Kerry's) policies.

"We have a very general view of what a terrorist is and I fail to understand why we are fighting a war on a tactic." "I think that having an invisible wall torn down (between government intelligence departments) is a good thing because then we have checks and balances," said Barr. "But when you can define a terrorist by anything that John Ashcroft says, well that's a big problem. When that can't be disputed or vetoed in any way from congress or any group of people well then he has complete authority to throw someone into jail," added Barr. Bonomi agreed that removing barriers between intelligence departments was a good thing. "The benefit... it's a big one," said Bonomi. Bonomi defended U.S. intelligence agencies' right to conduct "sneak and peek operations." Bonomi also stated that the Patriot Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The next debate to be held between the College Republicans and PAN is scheduled for October 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. on the steps of Founders Plaza. The Republicans have scheduled Larry Greenfield, the Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition of Southern California, to debate on their behalf. PAN has yet to announce a speaker on their behalf.

Vietnam for the right reasons, yet when he got out he went against his own country," said Bonomi, executive director of the College Republicans. "President Bush will protect America every time." "I agree that we need to have more security. The problem I see is that most of the money is going overseas, it's going into Iraq. Most of the money isn't staying here," said Barr on the topic of homeland security. "The war on terrorism will never be over until all the terrorists have been removed," said Stuart. " I view the war on terror as a war on crime, it's a long war, it will never be completely over but we can fight it and we can be effective," said Nick Bonomi. "It's (the war on terrorism) a deterrent. It's effective and when people are put in check when they are doing something wrong they will eventually do what is right." Lanysha Adams, film series coordinator for PAN, responded to Bonomi's perception of the war on terror with a different interpretation. "The war on terror is not something material. The war on terror is a war on a philosophical and political idea," said Adams.

The letter also called the "very logic of requiring balanced perspectives flawed." "Were we to follow it to its conclusion, we might decide to invite a speaker to defend the violence of racist mobs, since there is currently a very public exhibit in our new library that is unabashedly critical of lynching" The letter concluded that, "balance should come not from mechanical juxtaposition of speakers with opposing opinions. It should come from our community as we weigh issues, evidence and opinions. What could more effectively stimulate this healthy process than an energetic and reasoned political speech just the time when such arguments matter most?" "We urge you (President Haynes) and the Executive Council to reverse your decision and allow our community the opportunity to engage critically with this timely speaker and his challenging ideas." Many faculty members also sent individual letters of protest to President Haynes. "The arguments (implied and explicit) that the University is a neutral marketplace of ideas and that balance in exchange can only be achieved by having another equally famous speaker (film maker?) on the stage with Moore are unpersuasive," said professor Dreama Moon. "Under the com- èli mittee's logic, this campus may not have any public presentation of any type that puts forth a particular viewpoint without having a counter viewpoint expressed. If we pursue this rationale to its (il)logical conclusions, it appears ludicrous as well as unwieldy. So the lynching exhibit requires a complimentary KKK exhibit, Women's Herstory month activities require complimentary activities presenting patriarchal viewpoints of women, the Republican club may never have a speaker on campus without an accompanying Democrat (Green, Independent, ???), environmental educational seminars require a complimentary argument for the dumping of hazardous waste, etc.? I find this logic difficult to support." Students organized a campaign to submit letters to President Haynes voicing opposition to the cancellation. This week in Founders Plaza students can sign and submit form letters voicing their disapproval. The table will be open from 10a.m to 2p.m. Organizers of the letter writing campaign are urging all those who support Michael Moore's appearance to wear baseball caps this Thursday September 23. There is an organized protest to be held this upcoming Thursday September 23 from 11a.m. to lp.m. in the free speech area in between University Hall and the Kellogg Library. The protest is organized by concerned students, WSSA and PAN. All students and faculty are invited to attend • ! wm •* • regardless of political affiliation. Student Heather Frost Vance, one of the organizers of the protest this upcoming Thursday, called the cancellation of Moore, "detrimental to our development as responsible members of society, "and said that," the way it was handled makes me feel that the administration lacks true commitment to our educational freedom." Vance said that the cancellation sent the message that "they (CSUSM administration) aren't confident in our abilities as critical thinkers and the education provided us." There were also those who expressed support for President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision. "We support President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision, they did the right thing. Student funds should not be spent on a partisan speaker. It needs to be a speaker that's objective," said Nicholas Bonomi, executive director of the CSUSM College Republicans. "We should bring in someone that would speak for free. If they speak for free it means they care. If you need to pay them, the speaker obviously doesn't care about the audience." In a letter dated September 16, President Haynes responded to criticism of the cancellation. "I want to say to you "up front" that in retrospect, I know I could have handled this matter better. Since my arrival in February, I have tried to model a new kind of campus discussion built on openness and consultation.

Haynes also responded by saying, "many members of the campus community felt surprised arid disappointed by what happened, and I want to offer my apology for those feelings." Haynes continued to defend her and the council's decision by stating, "The university is prohibited from using state funds for partisan political activity. We are in the midst of a hard-fought presidential election. Were we to host Mr. Moore a month from now using state funds, without balancing his appearance with an alternate perspective, we would be in violation of the law.

Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall, associate professor of history, was recently chosen to receive the President's Award for Innovation in Teaching. "She is not only a distinguished scholar, but also a very effective teacher," said Tony Acevedo, a former student of Sepinwall. "She is also one of the nicest and concerned professors a student could hope to meet" "I nominated Dr. Sepinwall for the award because f think that her innovative teaching methods bring out the best in her students and the material at hand," said Photos by Eric Mercado / The Pride Acevedo. When asked about the award Sepinwall commented on how touched she was that the students nominated her and the committee decided that she had earned the award. She was quick to give credit to others. "There are so many wonderful teachers on campus. I'm just the one chosen this year. I am very humbled to be recognized in this way," said Sepinwall. She credited her colleagues with giving her many of her teaching ideas. "She offers fresh and originative approaches to teaching her classes," said Acevedo.

Dr. Nichols graduated with a bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach, and earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State. Q: What is your background in the field of sports? A: When I attended Western High School in Orange County, I was involved with the swim team and the water polo team. After high school, I played water polo for Cypress Community College, but not for long. Currently, I participate in triathlons (swimming, biking & running) and just ran a half Iron Man in Oceanside last March. Q: What brought you to CSU San Marcos? A: After entertaining offers from other schools, like University of Washington, I visited CSU San Marcos with no prior knowledge of this school. After interviewing for the position, I felt that this was a school where I could be happy and give the athletic department all the help I can. It is also exciting to come back to southern California. Q: What are your immediate priorities for the athletics department? .; A: I think it's time for our athletics to grow. Currently, CSU San Marcos is in the NAIA and our goal as a department is to get into the NCAA, Division 2. To accomplish this we need to get two more team sports and it looks like a soccer team is next in line. Volleyball is another sport that we would like to see added to our athletic department. We're looking to add onsite sporting events so the student body can get into the school's athletic teams Most people don't realize that CSU San Marcos has already produced a national champion in track and field and the golf teams have a high ranking within the NAIA. Q: What is your direct role with the CSU San Marcos athletes? ,. . . .. . A: My role is to make sure that each sports program is running smooth. Part of my job is to evaluate our athletes both academically and behaviorally. I also speak at award ceremonies or help out directly, like next month when I pick up our golf team at the airport. My goal is to handle any problem that might arise, in a punctual and professional manner. Q: How can CSU students learn more about our athletic department? A: There is always information available at the Clark Field House, and the school holds tryouts. The best way to get information on a particular sport is to contact the coach. Because we are trying to be as competitive as we can in athletics, we have a very active recruiting process that looks for exceptional athletes with good academic standing. It is exciting that the athletic department is taking steps to give our school first-rate sports teams. Students will be able to rally around teams, which in turn would bring the student body closer. It appears the outcome of Dr. Nicholas hiring will be a new sense of school pride for CSUSM athletics.

(ASI) Surf Tryouts will be searching for dedicated and talented potential surf team members. Tryouts will begin at 8:00 a.m. with each participant receiving three chances to showcase their talent for coaches. Participants will surf in three heats with six competitors in each heat. The divisions you can try out for include men's short board, women's short board, co-ed long board and co-ed body board. Each division will compete according to the style of board they Surf to keep things fair. Team manager Ryan James and Coach Amber Puha encourage all CSUSM students to come out and participate. Last year, the ASI Surf Team placed 4 th overall, a strong showing at the very competitive NSSA Nationals contest. The team returns this year looking for new talent to pave the way in the 2004 season. Strong performers in last year's competitions were John Graves, Eric Warner and Ryan James.

If you were given one wish, what would it be? What's your fantasy? Well, the fantasy of any sports fan since the beginning of time has been to run a professional sports team. That is the reason why fantasy sports have become such a huge success. If you are a sports fanatic, or know a sports fanatic, chances are you know about fantasy sports. For those that don't know what the heck I am talking about I will give you a quick run down on the basics for fantasy football. You join a league with a bunch of your friends where each person receives their own team. Before the football season starts you draft some players compiling a team of a quarterback, kicker, running backs, wide receivers, and a team defense. Each week in the NFL season you match your team against someone else in the to leagues like that can cost thousands of dollars with obviously high rewards. Fantasy sports are a blast to play with a bunch of your friends and I have been doing so since 1999 with a group of some of my best friends. However, fantasy games haven't brought all positives to the sports world. This fantasy sports craze has made it so that people forget who their favorite sports team is. Sometimes you will find yourself rooting your team on but you look across the field and see the opposing team which so happens to have your fantasy teams star player which puts you in a predicament. Do you root for your favorite football team or do you root for your fantasy team? Well sadly many people are choosing the later. Sports fans are slowly turning into fantasy sports fans which is a sad site for any true sports lover. win Fantasy games are fun to play small if you don't get carried away. prizes such With no end in sight I hope that as shirts or ban- those of you who do play keep in ners.

This voice is the foundation of democracy. Our Po,, freedom of speech y Charoenkwanchai is what makes us a nation different from those that have attacked us. Our country is based on taking sides: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party etc. Choices are a part of being American. It is our right and our duty to question how capable the leaders of this country are, because if it is anything but an optimistic illusion, these leaders serve us: The People. As a Democrat, I have come to realize that there is no truth when it comes to politics. The belief that a president is guiding us with the best interest of his constituents rather than that of greedy power-hungry corporations is a leap of blind faith. With a world that is at times scary to live in, we have come closer and closer to falling without a net. So that begs the question* who should we trust? Who is right? Is there a right? I'm not proposing that the truth lies within the words of Michael Moore. It is not his reputation for controversy that earned my support. It is his unrelenting passion to speak his mind, despite the opinion of the general public. I realize that not everyone wants to hear Moore ranting but there is a remedy: the OFF button. This would have worked in a situation where he could have appeared as a speaker. My advice: Just don't buy tickets. People who are put off by Moore argue that he is unpatriotic. A patriot is someone who loves, supports and defends their country. Patriotism is not always relative to the context of War. Defending my country is an act that entails more than just the ability to bear arms. I strongly support our troops despite the fact that I am opposed to the mirage we call a cause. Moore's suspicions about the true nature of this war are not based on hearsay. There is documented proof in his books and films. He includes news articles that hint to a deeper, more corrupt reason to why we invaded and conquered Iraq. These doubts, mirrored by my own, make it hard for me to believe that this war was fought for the cause of the American people. I love America, but it's the system that bother me. I can not understand how we can attempt to silence someone who believes that teachers deserve more respect and more pay than what they feebly call their salary. This university is mainly Michael Moore isn't coming and I'm mad as hell. The primary excuse given by administration spokesperson Rick Moore in the September 14 issue of The Pride was the impossibility of Phoenix Lindgren scheduling enough additional speakers to balance out Moore's viewpoint. What I don't understand is why a filmmaker/ author, appearing offcampus, necessitates a balanced discussion? I like Michael Moore, which is not to say that I agree with him. (I mean, c'mon, does he really want me to believe Bush was in cahoots with Osama and the Bin Laden family to cook up 9/11 to make himself look good and make all his friends rich? Photo courtesy of MGM Home Entertainment I'm not buying it.) But I still composed of students who hope respect him as to become future teachers. How a person with can an institution of education an opinion, not rely on its students to have and I'm always the mental capacity to decide interested in what is fair and balanced? Moore how others was cancelled because he was view the world. too "politicized." It would not But by r efusbe impartial to have him without ing to bring having someone represent the in Michael polar opposite. Moore is not a Moore, alone politician. His issues are not an and uncenattack against one party over sored, the another. His manifesto is from an administration everyday man against the crooked has elevated bureaucracy. an opinionated Photo courtesy of Michael Moore is a different www.csusm.edu/president filmmaker to kind of American; the type who refuses to be complacent. If we were to a position of influential, partisan politico, silence this man on that reason alone, it imparting on Moore's opinions much greater weight and stature than they would be unpatriotic of us. either deserve, or would have had, had the engagement gone forward as planned. Rick Moore also mentioned Michael Moore's "decision to politicize himself" as a reason for not bringing him in, which begs the question: When was Moore not politicized? Both "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" were released in paperback shortly before last year's scheduled appearance; Moore's publisher, Warner Books, states that in "Dude, Where's My Country?," "Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change," and in "Stupid White Men" Moore calls for the UN to, "overthrow the Bush Family Junta." So last year it was okay for Moore to appear alone, and this year it's not? Another excuse given is that this is an election year and last year wasn't (it actually was, but the recall was over by Moore's scheduled appearance date). Let's be honest here: most people will already have their minds made up before they go see Moore anyway. I would also wager that the students of CSUSM — along with the rest of the potential attendees of Moore's appearance - will take more than one person's opinion into account before deciding how to vote, no matter how close to the election they hear it. So bring on Moore. We no more need to hear a balanced viewpoint when he speaks in person than we need when we see him on film, which is a good thing, considering that the CSUSM Center ARTES has scheduled a free, on-campus showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 5 (as part of the Arts & Lectures Series). Yank the speaker, but not his film? Gee whiz, that kind of makes me think all those excuses were just a load of crap. Maybe Rick Moore's claim during an interview on the Stacy Taylor show (aml360) is true: Michael Moore was cancelled for fear that his appearance would offend CSUSM's big donors. Bring in Michael Moore and lose money? Now there's an excuse any good Republican can appreciate. �Tuesday, September 21 2004 I salute the Presidents' efforts to stop Michael Moore. However, the problem is not solved. ASI is supposed to be non-partisan. They openly attack the governor, the president, and now they Dear President Haynes, I have always thought of you as a great leader in our school. You have participated in events with students, created a nice and happy environment; you even got us all some lunch last week. But your administration's decision to cancel Michael Moore shows deep disregard for the students of CSU San Marcos. First of all, Mr. Moore was scheduled to speak approximately a year ago with out question. As you know he was postponed because of the fires. He has since, as far as i know, decided to reschedule for this October. So your administration then decides to cancel his appearance? This should not even be a question! Vyl llìlVylì THE PRIDE representative from ASI, they are participating in illegal activity. This needs to stop now. ASI should not be involved in politics period. If another student org was raising the funds it would be fine. But to have our supposed to be non-partisan ASI hold such a money raising effort is illegal. PS My college republican group is bringing in a speaker on October 26th for a small event. And he is doing it for free. Speakers that really care about their message do it for free. But Michael needs to laugh all the way to the bank. Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director CSUSM College Republicans this university on the map. This will set a platform for all kinds of speakers both liberal and conservative. Let me tell you, you will I had already heard talk never find some one to balance Michael Moore, at about the governator least within our budget. But coming. I know you talk about you don't have to balance postponing him to a later him. Students going to see date but that would be him are either going react pointless. As one Student in one of two ways.

This action that your administration has made would not happen at SDSU, UCSD, or many other major collages or universities. Please I urge you to reconsider this choice. As I write this letter, there are hundreds, yes HUNDREDS of students mobilizing against this action because they wanted to see Michael Moore. Don't be the president that will be remembered for suppressing speakers because of political views. Concerned Undergraduate Student, Felipe Robinson-Zanartu I hope all of us would not want to continue negotiating with a car dealer that had a teenager's offer fall through, which was contingent on his /her parents cosigning for a loan, if that car dealer responded by threatening to sue everybody. Real estate offers are usually contingent on several factors, including inspections, securing loans, selling of other real estate, et cetera. I suspect that in politics and the entertainment industry, they are no different in their offer and contract practices. I think we should no longer even pretend to be associated with a Michael Moore appearance in North County due to his reaction. The headline in this week's, The Pride, now looks deceptive. If there was no contract, what was cancelled? Editorial responsibility? A much more truthful headline would have been "Not with state funds". ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines. Given the budget problems that this campus is facing, we all can think of better uses of state and student funds under the current circumstances. Thanks for your time, Bob Dickey Chemistry Senior are committing to raise funds for a very polarizing speaker. ASI officers are paid salary with student funds. Any time they are working to get Michael Moore to campus and they are acting as a Presidents, Ladies and California taxpayer (mostly Gentlemen, sales tax), still support his I did see Michael Moore's right to free speech, but no latest film, Fahrenheit 911. longer support my fees or I believe that there were taxes going to his speaking several questions raised expenses. that current Federal Office I would, however, support Holders should answer the ASI and / or the with complete honesty. It University offering to pay would be interesting to see Open University fees for Michael Moore speak. Michael Moore to attend However, given that a class where he can learn Michael Moore's reaction, the differences between to a contingent offer falling a contingent offer and a through, is threatening legal contract. Universities, after action, I, as a fee paying all, are primarily about student at CSUSM and a learning. �Dear Editor, I am writing to protest President Haynes' and the Executive Council's decision to veto Michael Moore's appearance at our campus for a screening of his powerful, provocative film, "F. 911." This undemocratic violation of academic freedom saddens and angers me. Since when must a public university maintain a total "fair and balanced" policy (a la Fox News' hypocritical slogan)? The vast majority of mass media and private institutions are strongly Dear Madam President; My name is Christopher Mitchell, I am a History Major and a Senior at Cal State University San Marcos. I wanted to offer you my support in canceling the intended visit of Michael Moore. I agree with your assessment of the situation and, as a student here at CSUSM, I support you in this matter, however, unpopular it may have been to make. Mr. Moore's political beliefs are not in question in this matter. Executive Council, order CoBA to invite an equal number of communist and biases towards conservative union spokespersons? Will President Haynes politics. Quality order the Library and Arts educational institutions and Lectures to balance should provide an open fairly their new exhibit forum for controversial and lecture on lynching in people and subjects—both America to invite the Ku left and right, but not Klux Klan to give their 100% balanced, which is side of the controversy— impossible. both an exhibit and a guest Almost all of the CSU speaker? Board of Trustee members Will President Haynes are conservative business unilaterally order a people. All of the CoBA temporary b an-just until "Inside the Executive the election is over—of Chair" and other CoBA guest speakers are wealthy any military recruiters and veteran events on business owners or executives. In the name of campus (because this is controversial and pro-war); fairness and balance, will or will she invite pacifists President Haynes and the and anti-war activists to participate equally with them? If we get a noted evolutionary scientist to speak on campus, will the Executive Council insist on balancing him/her with a creation scientist in the name of fairness? Lastly, Rick Moore's defensive comment that Michael Moore has politicized himself this year is absurd. Moore has been a political activist for many years. How can anyone believe that Moore's Oscar acceptance speech was not political and controversial? Having someone of the caliber of Michael Moore after the election is closing the barn door after the horse has fled. CSUSM has become Animal Farm University. I hope that Associated Students, CFA, and the Academic Senate defend academic freedom and democracy on our campus. STEVE WIENER Staff and former CSEA Chapter President for his film's authenticity. Just because the facts Mr. Moore artfully arranges in his films fit a certain thesis, does not necessarily mean that the thesis is true. For example, I have two dogs at my home. I make dinner in the evenings for my family. After dinner, I feed the table scraps to my dogs. Now, just because my dogs think that I make dinner for them every night does not make it so. So is the way of Mr. Moore's films. An artful arrangement of inconclusive facts that promote an unworkable thesis. Mr. Moore traded in honest political discourse for political propaganda. In all fairness, this happens more than I care to admit in politics today - on the left and on the right. Though I don't agree with Mr. Moore, or his one-sided propagandist views, having him appear on a public college campus, without a discerning counter-balance to his propaganda, is inappropriate a few weeks before a national election and not a good use of public funds. I applaud your decision and your reasoning behind it. Once the election is over, I don't see any reason why Mr. Moore can not visit the campus in a panel format with the appropriate panelists that could bring some sense to his implausible and propagandist view point. Thank you for your time in this matter. It is always hard to make an unpopular decision, even when it is the right one to make. Sincerely, Christopher Mitchell Senior, History Major His self-described "one sided" view of unrelated facts to fit implausible theories in his films makes him controversial to the point of being a political propagandist. Mr. Moore makes no apologies for his cleverly crafted use of film to promote his view of the world. I don't fault him for his views but I do fault him for his over-use of the "documentary" format which leaves the viewing public with more than a deserving appreciation �eed COJCKXt ^ ^ m ® I l i f e r n et.

"Lynching in America" awards a voice to an ugly time in America's history that is rarely discussed and often hushed. Billingslea has applied the usage of mixed media to help break a "Code of Silence" that has existed to protect the perpetrators of racial violence and silence the victims. Billingslea uses common objects filled with thoughtful symbolism to help people connect with victims who lost their lives to prejudicial injustice. She transforms written history into visual and tactile artistry that can be experienced and absorbed. The installation displays many dirty white dress shirts of men, women, and children. Billing- slea said that "by distressing white shirts, and hanging handsewn nametags from the sleeve, I honor each life." Because there are many unknown victims, Billingslea has placed a few shirts without tags, folded neatly on shelves to represent and honor their lives as well. Billingslea portrays the social aspects of lynching with a handsewn quilt made of recycled fabrics and authentic pictures to create a powerful message about the spectators. Billing- slea said that, "(At a lynching) people packed food and spread out blankets, as if attending a baseball game. Thousands of people watched, children were excused from school to attend with their parents and folks traveled hundreds of miles just to see a person be burned or hung." The pictures are a haunting reminder of America's brutal past and it really brings home the fact that people took pleasure from these horrific events. There are mason jars on shelves, which Billingslea says are "vestiges of violence" that represent things people might have taken away from a lynching for souvenirs, such as locks of hair, remnants of clothing, or ashes from victims who were burned. This installation is a moving tribute to the thousands of men, women and children that were lynched in our country and it serves as a lesson in humanity. 9 /24 Arts & Lectures Presents Noontime Oboe/Piano Concert Noon Arts 111 (Free event and open to the public...guests are encouraged to arrive early) Cougar Dancers Info Meeting 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Field House Grand Salon You must have previous dance experience.

BY CHRISSY BALDWIN P ride S taff W riter Shaun (Simon Pegg, who also co-wrote the film with director Edgar Wright) isn't having a very good week. His co-workers have no respect for him and his girlfriend Liz has had enough of his laziness and inconsideration. She cannot stand to spend another evening with him in the local pub, the Winchester. Shaun isn't such a bad guy, but he has no ambition and seems to prefer the company of his unemployed, flatulent, video-game obsessed slob of aflatmate Ed (Nick Frost) to anyone else. As an added bonus, the dead have risen and are walking the earth in search of human flesh to feast upon. Shaun doesn't notice this fact as quick as he should (despite the fact that the TV and radio are broadcasting unexplained phenomenon), but Shaun is somewhat of a zombie himself, lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he walks past rotting cadavers that now fill the streets of London. The beginning of the movie takes on a satirical view of the commercialized world and how people walk about in a trance-like gaze oblivious to the happenings that surround them. When Shaun and Ed finally do realize what is happening, they form a half-wit plan to save Shaun's mum, rescue Liz and go to the pub where they can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. It may not be the best plan, but at least Shaun tried to do something constructive with his life. This movie covers a broad range of emotions from side- splitting laughter to heartfelt sincerity with zombies thrown into the mix. Normally, zombie horror movies end horribly, without giving too much away that is not the case with this movie. It may have to compete with the ultra-scary remake of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (on DVD in late October), but "Shaun" is able to stand on its own two feet. It should not be confused with horror spoof films, such as the "Scary Movie" trilogy, this movie is actually scary with parts that make you jump and gore that makes you cover your eyes. "Shaun of the Dead" opens in theaters Friday September, 24. If you are looking for a good time, check your local listings and be ready to have your socks knocked off. Omaha is the most unlikely city where you would expect to find a band making electronic music. But the Nebraska natives, who comprise The Faint, were able to create a dance album that sounds good even without ecstasy. For anyone acquainted with The Faint, Wet From Birth had big shoes to fill. With the success of their 2001 release Danse Macabre, The Faint have gained national and international respect as one of America's best electronic bands. Their album Danse Macabre went on to be one of their label's best-selling albums, and with their constant touring they are considered to be one of the best live acts. They have even worked with DJs such as Paul O akenfold to create a remix album entitled Danse Macabre Remixes. When going to record their new album they took their time. It took about a year for The Faint to write and record their new album. The time and care spent on this record shows. The production is phenomenal, much like Danse Macabre, and the songs are filled with 80's pop sensibilities and lots of synthesizers. But unlike Danse Macabre, The Faint sometimes stray away from this formula. On songs like "Birth" and "Dropkick the Punks," The Faint shy away from the drum machines and keyboards to create more guitar orientated songs. Some songs even overlap both genres. The song "I Disappear" takes the dance beats that make The Faint unique and interesting and blends them with more tradition guitar and bass. The lyrical content is very much similar to Danse Macabre. A major theme in both albums is consumer culture. Songs such as "Symptom Finger" demonstrate this, "The faintness that you feel is nothing permanent. Don't buy the sickness on T.V. You want your health they want the fee. You see the ads and start to think, I feel it coming on " While being even more blatantly political than on previous efforts they have become even more personal in their lyrics too. "How Could I Forget" shows this trait, "How could I forget a waste of breath? Of course I do, remember. All the things you said were pointless. And now you go on dropping names...mmm but I still dig you." The Faint have done a great job of doing what many artists can't do after a successful album, they made a CD that is just is good if W W M«W WEAK SO-SO DECENT ••••• GOOD GKEAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Pride contacted President Haynes for an interview regarding the decision to cancel Michael Moore. Rick Moore, Director of Communications, contacted The Pride on President Haynes' behalf. Rick Moore explained that the University is not looking for any one person to balance out Michael Moore. In response to the question of why Michael Moore was deemed an appropriate speaker last October and now he is not, Rick Moore said, "Last year there wasn't an election and he (Michael Moore) had not politicized himself. Now we have the election coming up and there is no time to balance out the point of view. The election is the key difference here and Michael Moore's decision to politicize himself."

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. SmartPay™ state that the "service charge" is assessed to cover IDC's costs, but declined to say specifically what all the costs are. Many students on campus are unhappy with being charged this fee when paying for classes online. Senior Matt Taylor said, "I was frustrated with the additional fee when I found out that this cost saving feature for the university was at my expense." Taylor also said that he contacted Jonathan Poullard, dean of student affairs, asked the BOD to allocate $10,000 to bring film maker, Michael Moore, back to CSUSM. Poullard explained at the meeting that Michael Moore was a scheduled speaker in the Arts and Lectures Series last October; however, the event was cancelled due to the Cedars Fire. Now Moore is available to reschedule the event for October 13 or 14. After discussion from all ASI directors, the board voted to contribute $6,500 to fund Moore's speaker fee. Poullard said, "I am saddened and disappointed by the decision. I think our students are missing out on a phenomenal opportunity to engage in political discourse. The Intercultural Speaker Series is not about having us agree, it's about having the discourse and having controversy with civility." Merryl Goldberg, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts and Director of Arts & Lecture series said, "Personally I'm quite disappointed. I think it would have been a great opportunity for the students. On the other hand, I understand how it could be a challenge for the president and other top administrators. It is very tough. I wouldn't have wanted to be the president on this." Lura Poggi, Executive Director of ASI said, "I think, although Michael Moore has partisan beliefs, that ultimately what would have happened is he would have motivated our students to get involved in the electoral process by getting out to vote. I trust students to vote their conscious regardless of what belief structure is presented to them. And while I appreciate having a balance of perspectives, I trust our university community to engage in meaningful dialogue; that will not only provide a balancing perspective, but also encourage our community members to, individually, decide for themselves their core values and political beliefs." Francine Martinez, Vice President for Student Affairs explained that the decision was discussed Monday morning among the executive council, which includes all vice presidents, the Provost and Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation. Martinez explained that the council was unable to provide a counterpart to Michael Moore and that if they could secure the right people to provide a balance they will pull something together for the spring. Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation said, "I think everyone (in the executive council) was in total agreement that the campus had not been able to confirm any other speakers that could provide a balance." "I don't think it is right for the president to limit the students' access to the speakers we have," said Christopher Langfelder, freshman, biology major. Student Financial Services about the charge via the internet, but never got any response. According to Student Financial Services, the "service charge" did not begin until 2002 when the Campus Level Cabinet decided to contract Informed Decisions of Alameda California to install CASHNet SmartPay™ on the CSUSM website. Convenience and financial savings for the school were cited as primary reasons for contracting with IDC. Paul Tiglio, from the Department of Financial Services said that the money saved by the university because of IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ goes directly to campus life programs and campus security. Mr. Tiglio was apt to point out that the university allows students to pay in many ways, and that IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ is only one option. When asked about student complaints regarding IDC CASHNet SmartPay™, he admitted that there were complaints but declined to comment on specific cases. In addition to imposing a "service charge" IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ does not accept payments using a VISA card. Accepted methods of payment include Mastercard™, Discover™, American Express™ and E-check. Debit cards can only be used if they do not require a PIN. Many debit cards have a daily maximum of $500 or less, so they may not have sufficient funds available to pay for tuition fees using IDC CASHNet SmartPay. Senior Vice President of Sales for IDC, Randy Steyer, was also asked how many Student concerns were addressed by Informed Decisions to the issue of the CASHNet Smartpay™ "service charge". Styer responded "that is something we don't reveal" October 18-21, 2005 Childcare Services All students at C SUSM will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed fee establishment on the dates indicated above.

Don't count your blessings quite yet gentlemen; this issue could also affect you. The rising cost of oral contraceptives could have devastating effects on the ability of the Student Health Services pharmacy to provide low cost prescriptions to all Cal State San Marcos students. While it directly affects female students who use the pharmacy tofillbirth control prescriptions, it could also affect all students - male Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride and female - who use the phar- cost to re-stock the supply will macy. The reason for this is that double. A likely reaction to the most of the income the pharmacy price increase is that students receives derives fromfillingbirth will shop around in search of control prescriptions and without cheaper alternatives, thus taking it, the pharmacy may not have the necessary funds from the pharmeans to provide all of the ser- macy.

The best way to get the most from your college experience is to get involved, and with more than 45 clubs and student organizations on campus, there is bound to be at least one tofityour goals and personality style. On September 7-9*, the Student Organization Expo featured several different clubs and student organizations in front of the Kellogg library, including the Human Development Club, Christ on Campus, and Priority Christian Challenge. The Human Development Club was formed to bring together people with a common interest in human services. Because the Human Development major was becoming so research-based, the club was formed to offer a place for people to express their interest in community-benefiting programs and a place to explore the different careers that a Human Development degree would offer. Members meet twice a month: once for a general meeting where they talk, discuss events, and vote on allocating funds, and a second time for the event of the month. The events consist of either a lecture series, guest speakers, or some form of volunteer work for the community. In the past, the Human Development Club has participated in events like the MS walk. "We're humanitarians," said a smiling Dayleen Coleman, president of the Human Development Club. Although the Human Development Club does not exclude anyone from being a member, they allow only a human development major or minor to run for office. Formerly known as Episcopal Campus Mission, Christ on Campus is a first-year revised club that is funded by the Episcopal Church of San Diego. The Christ on Campus Club aims to give students a place to meet new people, a place to belong, and, as their motto states, "a place to know Christ and make Him known." Founder and youth pastor at Grace Episcopal Church in San cation will no longer be able to do so at such a low cost. This problem is not just occurring at our campus. The cost of prescription drugs are increasing throughout the country, and without necessary action, they will continue to do so. Piling the rising costs of prescriptions on top of the skyrocketing costs of rent in San Diego and tuition in California could have extremely negative consequences on Cal State students. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson, the medical director of Cal State San Marcos, and Joe Jacob, CSUSM pharmacist explained that the California State University system has a contract with pharmaceutical companies to ensure that students receive certain patented oral contraceptives at an extremely low cost. Nearly all of the contraceptives included in the contract are no longer patented, which basically means that anyone can create generic drugs which are almost exactly the same as the name brands. Instead of reducing the cost of name brand drugs to compete with imitators, they are charging nearly the same amount as the generic drugs cost - which is also rising.. All Cal State students are required to pay a student health services fee as well as a student health facility fee. In March 2004, Student Health Services promoted and passed a referendum that allowed the health services fee to increase from $35 a semester to $50 and the health facility fee to go from $3 to $25. Many people have a tendency to make the incorrect assumption that these fees will help to prevent other cost increases, such as the rising cost of birth control. To the contrary, Nicholson said, "the health facility fee is only applied towards the cost to rent the facility, which is not owned by Cal State San Marcos, and the utility bills. The health services fee is applied towards funding staff salaries and the maintaining the operation of the services provided. Neither have anything to do with maintaining the low cost of prescription drugs." Jacob also explained that the State Procurement Officer has been attempting to negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies to fight the increasing costs. If he is successful, it may be possible for the pharmacy to offer other brands of oral contraceptives, either low cost generic brands or alternate brands of birth control that are still patented. While this issue will most likely be a long and complicated process, Jacob stated optimistically that, "At least the pharmaceutical companies are willing to listen to him." dubbin' A i Jk H uman D evelopment Club CHRIST ON CAMPUS PRIORITY Christian Challenge Paul G ibbons paulgibbons@gracesanmarcos.org Ruth B ran rbran22@juno.com Marcos, Paul Gibbons, feels that this club is important because people need to have somewhere to belong and to have fun. "As Christians, we are told to go out and make disciples," explained Gibbons. "College students need to have a place to belong and to find God." Plans are tentative because the club is new. There is no set meeting schedule, but they hope to meet one to two times a week. The meetings will be a time to talk, listen to music and practice Bible Study. Priority Christian Challenge is a Bible-based club that emphasizes developing a strong individual Christian faith in a social environment. Ruth Bran, outside advisor and co-founder, felt the club was necessary because it empowers stu- dents with knowledge and faith, and gives them a place to get to know fellow Christians. The members get together every Thursday evening at Arts 240. Meetings encourage people to come together, interact, form friendships, and pray. The agenda also includes participating in humanitarian events, such as Operation Christmas Child, where people donate toys and supplies to children in need all over the world. "We expose people to the needs in the world," explained Bran. The clubs featured in this article are only a few of the many clubs that are available on campus.

WANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00-$17.00 per hour Call (760) 744-SWIM | �thepride SPORTS Tuesday, September 14 2004 Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSHUA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Think for just a moment about all the things that have changed in your life over the past five years. I mean most of you probably went to a different school, had a different job, or fashioned a different hair dofiveyears ago. Basically, not much stays consistent overfiveyears. However, one person who has been consistent over the past five years has been Tiger Woods. "El Tigre" was the number one golfer in the world for the pastfiveyears which is 264 consecutive weeks which is also 1848 days. However, everything in life eventually comes to an end and Tiger's streak is no exception. His rule as number one player in the world came to an end last week when Vijay Singh claimed the spot that Tiger had kept warm for so long. Growing up you work towards being the best at what you do no matter whatfieldyou are working in. Once you reach the pedestal of number one what else is there for you to accomplish? The only thing left for you to prove is that you have staying power and no one has had more staying power in sports than Tiger Woods. Tiger is the most recognizable person in sports. Even people who know absolutely nothing about sports know who Tiger is. Tiger is now among the few in our society who can be referred to just by one name like Madonna, Cher, and Prince. Golf is the hardest sport to dominate in, because it is an individual sport. In team sports like baseball and football you can rely on your teammates if you are having a bad day at the park. In golf, if you are having a bad day on the course you have no one to blame but yourself. Now I want you to think about all the bad days you have had in the pastfiveyears. If you are like most people, you don't always have a great day everyday of the week. So, when you look at the fact that Tiger has not had a bad day in five years it is just simply amazing. It is not like Tiger is past his prime so Tiger losing his number one ranking has many people questioning what led to this. Well there are several things that could have led to this, one thing being that he has had some nagging injuries over the past couple years especially to his knee which is one of the most important body parts to a golfer. Another thing that many people believe is that since Tiger fell in love with his fiance his golf game has gone down hill. Also, some think that his new golf equipment has just been inferior to that of what the other golfers are using. Who knows if it was any of those circumstances? However, the thing that makes Tiger that much better in my eyes is that he did not use one of those as an excuse. I tnean, how many of you have tried to pass the blame when you could not explain what went wrong in a certain situation? I for one fear for the golfing community because not having towards again. The last time Tiger in that number one spot Tiger had something to prove means he has something to work he ended up becoming the most Photo courtesy ofwww.goIfserv.com dominant athlete anyone has ever seen.

You got no classes BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer Students frustrated by our school's registration system is not a new phenomenon. As the new semester starts many students will cry "the registration woes," especially new students who are unfamiliar with our registration process. The unique part about our registration system here at Cal State San Marcos is the fact that we don't accept Visa, a commonly used credit card used by CSUSM students. The reasons we don't accept Visa has something to do with a nation wide lawsuit, due to high merchant fees of up to $600,000 charged to Colorado State University for example. Merchant fees are what credit card companies charge the user, like Ralphs grocery store, or, in the case of Cal State San Marcos, to use their credit cards like Visa. The entire state university system in California and other nation wide state schools including Indiana, Colorado and Texas are facing these same fees. Many state schools aré now opting to charge students a convenience fee for using credit cards to pay for tuition rather than paying the high merchant fees. The CashNet SmartPay system is a popular convenience charge system, currently used at our school and various schools throughout California, Indiana, Colorado and Texas. I guess there is no way to change the system because either way we, the students of CSUSM will be paying these merchant fees. However, it is of concern to me why the cashiers' office won't tell us why our Visa credit cards are being turned away or why we have to pay a convenience fee. Last Spring was my first semester at Cal State San Marcos. I had been using my Visa credit card at Mira Costa College for the previous three years. I would pay for my books and my classes and then send my grandmother the bill in Las Vegas where she lives. The first time I registered here was a nightmare. I had no clue student loans instead, which have why my Visa was being shunned a much lower interest rate and away and no one could tell me would ensure a happier financial why. The cashiers' office was existence for us in the future. rude and my fellow students Ifinallyhad to borrow my boycouldn't answer my questions. I friend's Master card to pay for was pissed and upset; here I was my classes and attempt to crash a transfer student with no way to every other class due to my late pay for my classes in time and no registration fees. clue to why they weren't taking Even though, I felt and still Visa. feel the students of Cal State I tried to rationalize it, but San Marcos deserve to know I understood that credit cards why they have to pay extra to use aren't the best way to pay for our their credit cards and why they classes due to the high percentage are excluded from using a Visa rates most companies give us. I card at all. It is an injustice to thought, maybe the whole Cash- my fellow students and me not to Net SmartPay system is a way know... "Why?" to deter us students from using credit cards and start taking put EMMA By Sarah Carlin How to get YOUR class started BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer So, the first two weeks of school are finally over, yes! Congratulations to all of you who have survived. I know it has been a fun ride just trying to crash classes and having to switch back to school mode. Just imagine, 14 more weeks until it is time for Winter Break. Exciting, isn't it? This is also the time when we realize that there are a lot of classes that are not being offered due to budget cuts or are not even offered because no one has ever expressed a need for it. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of great classes that some of you would like to have offered here or classes that you do need. Here are a couple of tips that can help you get started. First thing, you need to do is research about this class, what does it entail and who will benefit from this course? Then, scout for other students and even faculty members who view the course as beneficial and are willing to support your efforts in starting this class. This way you will have the power of numbers. Make sure you do have a faculty member who is supporting you in order to have stronger ties to administration. Once you have a core group of people involved, you can create a petition stating the need for this class and be sure to provide why this class is important. You can circulate this around campus to gain support from the rest of our school population. Be sure to have a possible teacher in mind for the class, you will of course need a teacher. Also, you can hold meetings with faculty and administration in order to express the dire need of this class for the benefit of Cal State San Marcos. Mind you that this will be a long process. You may not see the class being offered during your academic career but at least you have gotten a movement started so that other students can benefit from this. Regardless of the time factor, you will be doing something great for the campus. I am writing this article based on the experience of the Asian Pacific American Association, formerly known as the Asian Pacific American Society. The Association has been struggling with the lack of Asian American Studies classes on campus. According to Fall 2003's enrollment, there were a total of 732 Asian American/Pacific Islander students on campus, 9.4%. The third largest student population and yet few classes are offered pertaining to Asian Studies and no classes in Asian American Studies. There are, however, several history classes with subject matters of China, Japan, women in the Middle East, and Eastern thought, but what about the experience of the Asian American. I offer these steps in case any other student feels the need to start some classes on campus as well. There are other students who will support you. The campus is still new, take advantage of your ability to make a difference. A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

III' �OPINION THE PRIDE FROM THE LEFT: Dustin Lacasse 7 Tuesday, September 14 2004 FROM THE RIGHT: I ^ e m x I Jbridgrai A VIEW FROM BOTH SIDES 'A Stronger America' is what democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's platform is all about, and that is exactly why I am voting for him. A stronger America is needed during these times when Americans seem to be divided by the platform President Bush has been pushing. I am a Democrat because I believe in equality for all Americans and the preservation of our natural environment. I also believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and a stronger military. I am afirmbeliever in respect, understanding and tolerance, and Kerry is the only contender that strongly believes in equality for all Americans. Kerry has adamantly stated that he does not believe that a constitutional amendment is necessary in order to 'preserve' the 'institution of marriage.' Kerry believes the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians should be left up to the states. The Constitution has never once been amended to strip a minority group in America of their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Kerry also strongly believes that there is more work to be done to help the advancement of minorities in our communities so that they to can attain a higher education, and advance further in the work place. 9/13-17 rr?'^ Identifying myself as a RepubIfSflif ? • • • lican, especially here at CSUSM, means that people will make ¡ ¡¡(¡8 i s ^ f ^ M judgments about me without IH bothering to get to know me; I'll just be stereotyped as another SUV-driving, Apprentice-vfdXching, intolerant, martini-drinking, Louis Vuitton-carrying rich bitch who'd rather wipe out the least tern than be forced to carpool.

Another point that Kerry believes in is a stronger military by not only equipping our soldiers with more modern weapons, but also equipping the branches of the military with more troops. Many countries, as well as the United Spates, are fighting a global war on terrorism. We need to take into consideration that many of our troops are fighting abroad to defend democracy and protect the U.S. from acts of terrorism on our home soil. To help ensure that our troops are given the time off they deserve to be with their loved ones, there needs to be enough troops to maintain an adequate military force for pur homeland security needs as well as continuing to meet our strategic and regional missions.

The Associate Students, Inc. (ASI) are offering new and exciting activities for students, staff and faculty this semester at the Field House. There are a lot of opportunities for students, staff and faculty to get involved this semester with the increasing number of campus recreation activities, leisure and group fitness classes, intramural sports, and competitive sports that are being offered.

Burnout 3: Takedown for Playstation 2 (P2) and X-Box is a fast-paced, aggressive, and exhilarating racing game that rewards the player for slamming their car into a wall or on-coming traffic and causing massive amounts of demolition.

In addition, this game has added 7 online playing modes to enhance competition in the racing and crash modes. A major plus for this game is that the cars are easy to control and the more crashes that the player causes in the game, more race tracks will be unlocked. The tracks get progressively more difficult, but not frustratingly difficult. I find it rather exciting to play the same race track multiple times until I have caused the maximum amount of damage.

"Don't be afraid to take Spanish," said Karla Ontiveros. "Don't feel stressed." To students who dread taking a foreign language class, Ontiveros' excitement for the subject encourages students to consider Spanish. Ontiveros is a graduate student in the Spanish program at Cal State San Marcos who is also teaching two sections of Spanish 102, Beginning Spanish II. Born in Tijuana, Ontiveros moved to Lakeside when she was 16. A fter graduating from El Capitan High School she then moved t o Temecula and began attending Cal State San Marcos. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish and is currently finishing her Masters of Arts in Spanish. Ontiveros is thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. in linguistics, but is unsure. A Ph.D. might take her away f rom being able to introduce the language to students who are learning it for the first time. Originally, Ontiveros was an accounting major, but found it boring. A fter taking a Spanish linguistics class, she discovered how interesting language can be. Now she wants to bring the excitement of learning a new language to others. Ontiveros loves interacting with her students and showing them, on a basic level, the joys of Spanish. Eventually, Ontiveros wants to teach Spanish at the community college level. She makes a real effort to understand her students. She knows the difficulty of learning a new language. Ontiveros tries to make her classes f un and enjoyable for her students through creative methods such as games and movies Ontiveros also speaks to her students in Spanish outside of the classroom to enhance the learning experience.

As the lead sleds rumbled to their positions along the old business district of Escondido, sounds of the past filled the air. Food and drink were enjoyed as people came to relive the cruises of the 1950s and 60s. The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA), along with the City of Escondido, is currently holding the fifth season of weekly cruises called Crusin' Grand. The Friday cruises take place on Grand Avenue 5 to 9 p.m., beginning the first Friday in April and running through the last Friday in September. The cruise and show take place along Grand Avenue between Orange Street and North Ivy Street. All vehicles are welcome to cruise Grand Avenue, but after 4 p.m., the City and DBA request that only pre-1974 American vehicles park along the street. Although the event was constructed with American cars in mind, several foreign makes can be seen parked along the avenue as well as a few custom or later model specialty vehicles. Only pre-1974 American vehicles are judged in the show and eligible to receive an award. Awards are given at 8 and 8:45 p.m. on the corner of Broadway and Grand Avenue. There is no entry or registration fee or determined award categories. The public is invited to bring their pre-1974 vehicle to the cruise and show. Parking along Grand Avenue is free, on a first come basis, and there is no time limit a fter 4 p.m. Parking for non-event vehicles is available at the many f ree public lots immediately See CARSHOW, page 2 �Tuesday, September NEWS 7 , 2004 INJJ/VVO T HE P RIDE CARSHOW from page 1 cles.

With a view from my house of the Del Mar fairgrounds and ocean water I have been lucky enough to visit the place "where the turf meets the s urf' on more than one occasion. As the horse racing season at Del Mar comes to an end on September 8, so does the excitement around my little coastal town. Del Mar provided many fun times this summer hanging out with old friends and new friends all the while meeting new interesting people. With a lot of luck this summer surprisingly the track provided me and my friends a place to make some extra cash. The very first bet of the season that my friend Matt placed was a $1 trifecta. A trifecta is where you are predicting the first, second and third 1Jùn place finishers in order. It is a low risk and high reward bet but it rarely will come in. However, his three horses came in exact order and he won over $200 on a $1 bet. The rush from seeing that was unbelievable, but what happened before he got his money no one could have foreseen. He thought that his third horse didn't come in third so he tore up his ticket in frustration of being so close. It turned out to be a photo finish for third and he ended up having to pick up the pieces off the ground and take it to the window and beg for them to accept the ticket. As soon as that happened I had an inkling that this was going to be a wild track season at old Del Mar and I sure was right. Every time I went to the track something new happened. With such a wide variety of people I didn't know what to expect when I would meet someone new. On one occasion I went to the track with my friend Chantal and before we knew it we were hanging out with a prominent sports talk show host. By the end of the day I had met a great contact. Just recently I attended the track with Scott who is a fellow Pride staff writer. I started talking with a jockey who is one of the most famous jockeys to ever ride a horse, Before I realized it I was being chewed out for the fallacies that some newspapers report. By the end of this conversation I saw first hand the beef that some people have with journalists. I could go on about a dozen more stories but mind you these are the stories my friends will allow me to share as many more jaw dropping things did occur on my visits. Of the friends that I took for their * very first visit to the race track they all couldn't wait to go back. Every single one of them would say things like, "What a fun atmosphere" or "What a great place to meet new people" The famous race track saying is "Go baby go". I would like to repeat that one last time as the season is almost upon completion, and I would like to add "but come back real soon". Dude, where's my seatI ByKJMBERLY SCHLATER Pride StaffWriter Churchill's P ub & Grill W e're C SUSM's L ocal P ub! As the new semester begins at Cal State San Marcos, the heavy flow of students racing to get a seat in class just seems to increase. Unfortunately many of the students who have claimed a seat are not even enrolled in the class. Most crashers sit with their fingers crossed as the instructor takes role. After the instructor isfinished,the crashers raise their nervous hands and ask the infamous question, "Are you taking any crashers?" Most instructors are very generous; however their student limit usually ranges from 35 to 40 students per class. Many students get lucky, but a great number get turned away if they are not graduating soon or not the lucky pick in the lottery. So I ask myself, why is this prob- lem just increasing instead of being resolved? The student population at Cal State San Marcos just keeps growing every semester, so why are there not enough classes and instructors to accommodate this ever growing University? This problem needs to be solved before it jeopardizes upper division and graduating students. - Just minutes west of campus at 887 W.

Medulla, a Latin word meaning marrow, is the answer and also the title for the musician's latest album, released August 31st, 2004. Exploring and experimenting with music is what has made Bjork unique, and this uniqueness is demonstrated throughout Medulla to its entirety. The album originally consisted of an assortment of instruments and Bjórk's vocal tracks but upon completion Bjork muted out the instruments leaving solely her vocal tracks. This decision left the album completely acapella. Bjork then brought on a team of human beat boxers consisting primarily of former The Roots member Rahze1, and an u nheard of Dokaka. Rahzel's and Dokaka's human beat boxing can be heard t hroughout album and is at its Sept. 22) Cleanliness %m organization are often your fmj^gest fortesy but that doesn yt need to be true thisjbontk the minutes and a little more time You '11findthat pu ^ and your friends love you more than you LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct ^ have a lot more than you realized, kkew^^^f 22) No one has pewmpftshed all they ever wanted by sitting around.

This month, try taking a role of servitude. Be open to lessons in humility, tolerance, and patience. Hero is onfe of the most beautiful, amazing films I've ever seen, but I also think it's an acquired taste - like escargot. I'd pitch this film as a sort of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets The Matrix, but that hardly does justice to the artistry of fifth generation filmmaker Zhang Yimou. Zhang has a painter's eye for color - which becomes a character unto i t s e l f a n d reveals the complexity of the story like a geisha disrobing: peeling off the delicate layers of silk until the bare soul of this film is exposed. Hero is set in China some 2,300 years ago, when the country was divided into a half dozen warring factions. Jet Li is the assassin, Nameless, who has succeeded in killing the Qin king's enemies. Most of the film involves telling the story of how Nameless ended up in a private audience with the king, which includes the best wired martial arts sequences ever captured on film. Fhoto Courtesy ofMiramax films Zhang is also generous in sharing his artistic sensibilities in choosing his settings, from the stark, moonscape that is China's interior, to a psychedelic deciduous forest, to a rain sequence like nothing you've ever experienced. My only real criticism is that the subtitles are a bit clunky I'm certain the beauty of the Chinese language has been sadly maimed by the translation into English subtitles - but the visual artistry of the film more than makes up for this lack. So I'd recommend Hero if you're the type of person who enjoys visual artistry in film, who isn't annoyed by having to read subtitles, and who embraces the chal- lenges posed by storytelling from a very different (read non-American) cultural perspective. Otherwise, just go see Collateral and leave this film to the escargot-eaters. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

X I I N O. 1 as ••I Discount Campus Books shafted once again By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StafFWriter Discount Campus Books, an off-campus bookstore, once again has faced challenges in obtaining textbook information for the fall semester. The bookstore, which touts itself for its 10 percent used book discount off the University Bookstore price, has served the university with a lawsuit for violating the California Public Records Act due to the lack of information sharing. According to the California Public Records Act, any record that is not confidential is public record said John Kilby, manager of the store located across Twin Oaks Valley Rd. from the university. Therefore, if the university retains a record of the books ordered each semester, then that information is public record. "I think we should have the same access (to the booklist) as other entities," said Kilby. "The information is getting to Aztec Shops; it should get to us too." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride Aztec Shops run the University Bookstore under a contract from the California State University San Marcos Foundation. The Foundation is a separate organization from the university and therefore not subject to the California Public Records Act TTl e B a r e N ECEi 5SITIES -Wear comfortable shoes. -Arrive early for the best parking spaces. -Make a hard copy, an email copy and disk copy of all important documents. -Take your CCR exam as soon as possible. -Mini skirts and stairs do not mix. -Drink plenty of fluids. -If someone is on their cell phone, do not interrupt to ask directions to the library. -Turn off your cell phone in class. -Don't be afraid to go number 2 in the bathroom. -Save money; buy used books. does not apply to the Foundation," said Smith. "The information they have is not public information." However, it is a question of how that information is collectedthat is the issue of contention from Cal State San Marcos. The university maintains that Aztec Shops collect book information independently and there is no resource at the university level that collects or retains this information. "We are not asking Aztec Shops for the information," said Kilby. "All we are asking for is the same access to the booklist as the (university) bookstore has." In the meantime, Kilby plays a guessing game of the books to order; in the back of the store are 39 cartons of books waiting to be returned. The cartons are filled with books that Kilby ordered based on booklists from past semesters, but that are no longer being used in current classes. Kilby maintains that the book said Deborah Smith, risk manager information must be directed for Cai State San Marcos.

He contends that it would be easy to require professors to submit booklist information to both Aztec Shops and his store. However, Smith denies there is a record of the book orders placed by professors kept by the university. "(The university) does not keep copies of the booklist," said Smith. At this time, the university does not plan to implement a process to track the books professors order said Smith. Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes affirmed Smith's statement. "It is common practice where a third party runs the bookstore," said Haynes. "The university does not control the books used and we are not the provider of the books," If what both Smith and Haynes said is accurate, then the university has neither knowledge of the books that are ordered nor the content of these books. In the meantime, Kilby relies on the few professors that contact him directly to let him know what books to order. Also, book sales representatives pass the word on to Kilby about the books to be used in the upcoming semester. Student reaction to the limited options for textbook purchases has generally come out in favor of the off-campus bookstore. "I don't think it is right," said Stacy Palchanis, a liberal studies major. "If students are using their own income (to purchase books), they should have a choice " HAYNES, from page 1 All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos.

This even will be a platform to show appreciation to the early founders of the University. "This will be a public event for a number of people to come together and connect, or reconnect, and show appreciation to the college's early founders," said Haynes. Later on this semester, the president's website will be getting a make-over. "I am excited that we will be adding streaming video to our website," said Haynes.

Entering its second year in operation, the UVA is filled to capacity once again with minor changes in who can be residents. Since last October, CSUSM current students were encouraged to apply for a spot at UVA. It was not until May 2004 that advertising was made public for non-CSUSM students to join UVA. Advertising was aimed primarily at Palomar College students. Housing for students is determined by date of application. Students that turned A| H in their requests early had a more favorable chance of getting housing. According to Brian Dawson, director of UVA, capacity is once again at its limit. There will be a total of 460 residents with 15 of the students being from Palomar this year. "The students from Palomar will most likely transfer to CSUSM," said Dawson. "This gives them an opportunity and little taste of what our campus is all about." During the summer, it was estimated that over 50 students were on the waitlist to join UVA. Currently there are only 10 students still waiting for housing. Photo by Eric Mercado / The Pride ^ jl n a n K s to the fabulous Jeremy L ong ^ llWANÄD SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!!

This year the world convened in Athens, Greece. The Olympics always seem to grab the casual sports fan more aggressively than professional sports because in the Olympics the athletes are competing for their country rather than for themselves. During the Olympics you find people saying things like, "Wow, did you see the U.S. Men's rowing team win the gold the other day?" I mean, who gets excited about rowing? No one, it's just the fact that these rowers did it for the country. I was with my friend Karin last Thursday when the women's soccer team won the gold medal in overtime. Her mom called her just to ask if she heard the news about the women's soccer team. The Olympics are all about having pride for your country just like that. These Olympics provided many discussions for Americans with a lot of them being centered on the disappointments. Tom Pappas had to drop out of the decathlon due to injury, and Rulon Gardner wasn't able to defend his title in Greco Roman wrestling. Those were two of the largest disappointments. However, the accomplishments by the U.S. competitors are what really stick out in most people's minds. There have been many jaw dropping occurrences in these Olympics. In the past 100 years the United States looked like they were dueling with small butter knives when it came to fencing. However, this year Mariel Zagunis won the first fencing gold medal for the United States Since 1904 to end the drought. One of the more remarkable performances in these Olympics was from the duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May in beach volleyball. The duo beat up on every other country like there was not even another team on the other side of the net. Walsh and May did not even lose a single set during the entire Olympics to give the U.S.A. its first gold in Above: Justin Gatlin, bottom right: Michael Phelps, below: U.S. women's soccer team. Photos courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com and http://www.espnstar.com. Gold, silver, and bronze medals. Photo courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com beach volleyball history. The only team more dominant than the combo of Walsh and May was the women's softball team. The rest of the world didn't know what they were getting when they signed up for women's softball. The women's softball team won hands down every single game they competed in and outscored their opponents 51-1 during the entire tournament. However, no one has been more interesting to the United States than the young 19-year-old Michael Phelps. Many people set unrealistic expectations for Phelps by saying that he would break the record for most gold medals in one Olympics which is held by Mark Spitz who won 7 gold medals in 1972. Phelps did tie an Olympic record by winning the most medals in one Olympics by capturing eight, but only 6 were gold. Going into the Olympics it was thought to be Michael Phelps versus the world and by the looks of it, he literally defeated the world by capturing more swimming medals than 17 other countries. Since Phelps is only 19 the sky is the limit, and in the 2008 games there is no doubt he will be in China to go after Mark Spitz's gold medal record. The U.S.A also showed off in gymnastics. The U.S. won both the men's and women's individual all around competitions. It marked only the second time in Olympic history in which one country has swept the individual all around. Carly Patterson, 16, won gold for the women and Paul Hamm took it for the men. It will be another four years till the next summer games but hopefully you will keep that same pride for your country over that time. �BACK TO SCHOOL JJrtV^lV Tuesday; August 31, 2004 1 IWWJ-J \J T HE PRIDE Go see "Fahrenheit 9/11" By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride SteffWriter I met a woman over the weekend and we started a conversation that eventually turned to the subject of the war in Iraq. I voiced my disapproval for the war to which she replied, "You're not one of those Michael Moore people, are you?" I confidently answered, "Why yes, I agree wholeheartedly with the work Moore is doing." Seemingly f rustrated she said, "Well, I suppose you are entitled to believe what you want." Indeed, I suppose I am. Michael Moore has received a fair share of both criticism and praise for his eye-opening documentary, "Fahrenheit 9-11." However, no one should be in the position to say that they "suppose" I have a right to EMMA believe what I want just because it disagrees with his or her own opinion: that right is not a supposition. The beauty about Michael Moore's work i s based on his inquisitive nature and his examinations of issues that are important to him. Moore does not sit idly by and let decisions that affect his life go unchallenged. I do not and neither should you. Our society is based on the free exchange of ideas, and the necessary dissention to challenge to those ideas is what makes Moore's work so important. Moore is, in fact, an American in the true sense of the word. We can not honestly say we are free Americans if we choose to ignore the opinion of dissent that Photo courtesy of http://michaelmoore.com BY SARAH CARLIN R40K TO SCHOOL SLICKS An bucks the current actions of the powers to be. Is there anything less American than blindly following the decisions of our leaders without asking the important questions? Go see "Fahrenheit 9-11." Even if you do not agree with Moore, you can never be told that you did make an informed decision based on both sides of the story. In addition, you might see something that will change your mind or inspire you to become more politically motivated. A fter all, we are in college to expand our knowledge and n ot just to be reaffirmed in what we already know. My FR/Ends jroö BUS/ TO «Ardour m W41TÍ WHAT ¿ M I SAYiNe?

Although he did not want to drop any classes, he ended u p dropping two because the work load, understandably, became too much for him to handle. Instead of graduating this month like he had expected, he will b e back to finish next fall. "It j ust gets a little bit f rustrating, because you get so close to a goal and you t hink you're working towards something," he said. "There's k ind of a sense of urgency to graduate, and now it's not happening. T hat's probably the hardest thing " " It's that finishing his degree was so tightly linked t o his relationship with his father," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, G orman's human development professor. "He was racing against time, and when (his father) did pass away, he was still racing. You couldn't b e a hamster going 100 miles p er hour. He needed time to grieve." " In some ways, T homas' father was k ind of the glue that held that f amily together," said Dr. Amber P uha, the coach of CSUSM's surf See MEMORY, page 2 BY CLAUDE SAYF Pride S taff Writer CSUSM's spring 2004 graduation ceremonies will take place May 15, 2004, at the Grandstand on the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The second ceremony is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. with check-in at 2:00 p.m. Both ceremonies are the same, except for the groupings of m ajors that will graduate and the student speaker that w ill a ddress t he graduates.

" I have been giving speeches f or years on campus about domestic violence and child molestation," says Kingsbury. Already accepted to the UCSD School of Law, she is hoping to become a sex crimes prosecutor. Kingsbury, who was chosen to speak by a panel of CSUSM f aculty and students, has an eight-year-old daughter, Katelyn Lee. Before being inaugurated as the President of CSUSM on February 1 of this year, Karen Haynes held office at the University of Houston-Victoria beginning in 1995. She has written several books, including "A Dream and A Plan: Women's Paths to Leadership in Human Services," which was released last January. Haynes earned a bachelor's degree f rom Goucher College in Baltimore, an M.S.W. f rom McGill University in Montreal and a Ph.D. f rom the University of Texas at Austin. A fter t hirteen years of service at CSUSM, Janet McDaniel was named the 2003-2004 Brakebill Distinguished Professor this spring.

At the same time that G orman was learning t o write cursive letters as a child, h is father was teaching h im how t o surf. Gorman's fondest memories are of the times he and his father spent surfing together, whether it was taking trips down to Mexico or j ust waking u p and surfing at the Oceanside harbor. "We surfed together f or the better p art of my life. We s urfed every morning together until he fell ill," Gorman said. "We h adn't really went in the water together f or the last three years." "We spent a lot of time together towards the e nd," he said. "We saw each other all the t ime.. .but it still isn't enough time. It causes you to look back at days, like when you were in high school, and you decided t o go surfing with your f riends or someone else, when you could have surfed with your dad." "He was a great dad, you know," Gorman said. "He was there to b e there for you and at the same time to let you know when you were acting up." Soriano could not help but notice the love Gorman h ad for his father. It was a "mutual, b eautiful love that they had f or one another," he said.

Villa continued, "You don't have to sit in the sun for two hours, there are bathrooms on every level, great picture opportunities and many restaurants nearby. The only complaint we've received was that the guests had to pay for parking. Other than that there have no more complaints." Sheila Manning, a graduate of the 2002 class who is also a current employee in the office of Enrollment Services Management as an information specialist said, "Having been a part of California State University San Marcos commencement as a student and staff member I've seen it f rom both sides and been impressed on both occasions. Not only is it a beautiful venue, it also allows students to invite as many friends and family as they'd like." A concern for some graduating next year may be the cost of such a venue. "The cost does come from student fees," Villa sayd, adding that when AI tracked the budget, they found that the first year in Del Mar was not a significant cost increase. "We rent the site as a package and the vendors are already included in that p ackage traffic, parking attendance, bleachers," Villa said. "Here at Cal State San Marcos we had to higher extra staff, have them work overtime, clean up before and after, hire highway patrol, rent facilities, chairs and bleachers. So they cancel each other out." Charlotte Strauwald, a senior who will graduate May 15, says that she was a little disappointed that the ceremony will be held off-campus but is excited that she gets to invite her ten guests.

It was kinda like being at a club with a whole bunch of your friends without those sleazy guys that hangs out at places like PB Bar & Grill. The ones that hang out between the bar arid the dance floor and hit on every single woman, even the ones you're with. You know the ones. How does it feel to be graduating this month? I 'm excited to be done with school. It will be nice to go home and have no homework to do. Although all my professors would argue that I don't do it any way. It feels good to be recognized for all this work and I 'm also getting a math degree. So, if anyone tries to step, I can be like, 'hey, I 've got a math degree.' What are your plans for the summer? Initially, I was supposed to work. I was supposed to spend this semester looking for a job, but I didn't get around to doing that. So, I 'm probably going to decide if I like Pacifico or Negra Modelo better and hang out with my dog. What will you miss the most about CSUSM? Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/ The Pride Brett Gladys provides servio with smile at the barbeque luncheon in front of Kellogg Library to promote CSUSM's annual Luau event. I think I 'll miss my friends here a lot. Any last words of encouragement, or advice, for students that will be coming back to CSUSM next year? I often hear people complain about lack of student life on campus, and they're wrong. There is student life on campus. You all hang out in the library and computer labs talking on Instant Messenger. You're sitting in your cars in between classes and your acting way too cool talking on your cell phones. I have a blast every single time I come to campus. And it is not just because I 'm fabulously good looking. It's because I say hi to people. I go up to events and I try hard to make this place into a campus I want to be a part of. So if you want this place to have student life . .. get out of the library and computer labs and your cars, and say hi to somebody on Founders Plaza.

Now that you have worked your brain into shape during the first 15 weeks of the semester which is what I call the regular season of school, it is almost time to show what you are made of. As we heaci f or the home stretch we know w e are getting to the end as we can see the finish line right in front of us. Finals week or as I call it the playoffs, is that week we are all forced to man u p and step into the ring. Some people start preparing weeks in advance f or finals and they usually come out victorious when they write that home run A grade paper or pitch that perfect presentation. However, many people are pressure players like me. We wait until the last possible second to experience the urgency of going into the extra innings of studying at the wee hours of the night. The pressure players usually come out on top by throwing that Hail Mary touchdown to pass the test. Throughout the studying process we occasionally stumble over those hurdles when w e realize there are more exciting things that we could be doing. However, most of us keep our eyes on the trophy. The trophy f or some of you veterans is that piece of paper that you have worked f or which says you are ready to retire from CSUSM. The trophy f or us rookies is j ust the simple fact that we d on't have to set an alarm f or another three months. So, as the p layoffs approach all of us, remember to stick it out. Also d on't forget to keep your eyes on the prize while giving 110 percent. So, with a ll of those sports clichés said, here is two more; Break a leg and go get e m'. SPORTS Women's softball takes 2nd at Nationals BY JONATHAN RODLEY Pride Staff Writer Six months ago 16 girls picked u p bats and gloves and started throwing a softball around. Some had played in highschool, f or others it was their first time stepping onto the field. The girls had t hree coaches, led by Ferman Cardoza, head coach, to guide the Cougars at weekly workouts. " They practiced hard in practice and it showed on the diamond," Cordoza said. The team captain, Tisha McElhiney, scheduled games with other colleges for scrimmage. But these weren't other intramurals, the Cougars played against collegiate level teams. " When w e're out on the field, we push each other, we p ush ourselves," McElhiney said. The team worked together, and as their relationships grew, their skill level improved, she said. A fter 26 games, at 13 and 13, it was t ime f or t he National Championship. I n Chino Hills, at t he field of dreams stadium, they f aced teams f rom around the country. The Cougars crushed their opponents early on with scores like 6 -0 against the Naval Academy and 13-2 with Ohio State. D uring day two, The Cougars defeated the number one seed Kansas State with a w in of 4-2. That landed them automatically in the semis. ' "Are you kidding me, you beat the number one team,' they couldn't believe it," McElhiney said about umpires and other team coaches. "Eventually other teams started playing deep in the field." A fter their success, it was time to f ace once again, The Navel Academy, which squeaked into the final by defeating Kansas State. But the final unfortunately, is where the Cougars played their second and third losses of the tournament. The Cougars' pitcher, Jamie Beaty, served the team proper during its nine game series with 80 strikeouts. McElhainy hit over a .700 during the tournament and both players made it on the M VP team. So a fter training for five months, the team to beat ended u p being a f resh group of f aces f rom Cal State San Marcos. "We did it as a team, and we always have," McElhiney said. "We're doing it for each other." The next season for Cougars softball begins Spring 2005. Collegiate sports sign off for the season BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer As the academic year ends, so does the year in sports f or cougar athletics. Among the highlights f or the Track and Field team includes their performance at Point Loma Invitational finishing 2nd in the Women's 4X400 Meter Relay and finishing 2nd in the M en's 4X800 Meter Relay. The team is coming down the home stretch trying to finish strong. They did so with a victory in the M en's 4X100 Meter Relay at the UCSD Triton Invitational. The team still has the Occidental Invitational May 8 and the Claremont Classic May 15 before the team competes at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The M en's golf team came into this year with high expectations and they have not disappointed so far. Among the highlights f or the team was claiming 1st place at the Grand Canyon Invitational and a 3ed place finish at the CSU Bakersfield Invitational. The team competed last week in the NAIA Region II championships and took 2nd place overall which means they will be heading to the NAIA national championships in Olathe, Kansas. The Women's golf team did not have the same high expectations that the M en's team had coming into the season, but they did not disappoint either. Among the highlights f or the Women's team was 3ed place finishes at the Western Washington Invitational and at the CSU San Marcos Cougar Invitational. The Cross Country team had a decent season as well. The highlight of the year was a victory at the Vanguard Invitational. They ended strong with back to back top 3 finishes at the regional championships and then at the national championships. So, until next year Cougar fans.

During my time as ombudsman, I communicated with many readers on issues regarding grammar, spelling, content and the political orientation of The Pride. I recall last Semester when the words I heard were rarely good and, in fact, were quite scathing at times; Over time, the hardwork that the staff had been piitting in began to pay o ff: words o fpoignant criticism gave way to compliments on the recognized progress that The Pride was making. Even so, I was certain that some readers would never be won over by any effort that The Pride staff exerted to rectify the paper. However, my certainty was dispelled when some of the harshest critics emailed me acknowledge the steady progress and advancement of Thej^ride. I thank a Uof you who did let me know your thoughts on what we were doing, especially those who were particularly harsh, because without fhat honest feedback, there would have not been t hi spark to initiate the change fer tWs semester; Over t he course o^the past semester, The JPride has truly solidified into a decent newspaper embodying the breadth of interests that comprise our campus community here at CSUSM. Th§ u i^w&aieiit T he Pridb has undergone is due t o the dedication and hard work of the staff, from both this semester and last, as well a s the interests and concerns expressed by readers in the feedback t received through email a nd in pdrson, Without reader feedback, The Pride wouW b e lacking in direction since our purpose k t o provide a varietyof stories that inform and also entertain our r eader. In addition to being the last edition of this semester and, as such this academic school year, t hisedition of The Pride also represents the tost edition in which I will be assuming the role of ombudsman.

The Pride apologizes for these errors,-;' As the Co-Editors-in-Chief, we would like to finally introduce ourselves to our readers and give proper recognition to the dedication of those that we could not have done this without. At the beginning of the school year, The Pride began with two Editor-in-Chiefs, Jon Rodley and Elizabeth Baldwin. Jon had previous experience in journalism. Elizabeth had a strong foundation in accounting management. The two of us joined forces and set out to use our individual talents to create the best weekly newspaper possible. Each week, we strive to make The Pride fair and balanced, entertaining and accessible to all students. We are very proud of all the challenges we faced at the beginning of the year. Through long hours, constant compromise and a committed staff, we have conquered every obstacle in our way. A standing ovation to our section editors who have brought so much creative genius to The Pride and have accomplished their jobs with the smallest amount of resources possible: Sarah Carlin, Katie Sammons, Lisa George, Melissa Rodriguez and Tom Pfingston. Yes, mistakes have been made in The Pride (as many of our readers have pointed out). A huge round of applause goes to our Ombudsman, Mike Dolan, for his tireless effort to correct all of our errors. A hip-hip-hurray to our adviser, Jenifer Woodring, who has been our constant cheerleader guiding us through all the ups and downs of a college newspaper. And most importantly, we take a humble bow to our readers. We value all of our readers and thank you for your support. It is so wonderful to see students sitting on benches in Founders Plaza reading a copy of The Pride. We wish you a fabulous summer.

Official police estimates counted 750 students in the crowd, which marched f rom San Diego City College through the Gaslamp district to the state building on the 1300 block of Front Street. B efore t he march, protestors on the lawn in f ront of City College chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated e ffects of the governor's cuts over a public address system. A similar gathering took place a fter the march in f ront of the state building on Front Street, w here six student government representatives, including one f rom CSUSM, went inside to speak with state officials. In addition to Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State, students f rom UC San Diego and several j unior colleges also attended the rally, chanting call-and-response slogans such as, " What do we want? Stop the cuts! W hen do we want it? N ow!" Passers-by stopped to listen and waiters came out of their restaurants as the noisy crowd worked its way down Market Street.

"Although more people should have participated in the protest, without those people who went, nothing would change," Nelson said. Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed the importance of the budget cuts especially when concerning the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). "If EOP gets cut, there will be less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These students are a key component of our student body, unfortunately only a handful of students went on the bus." "I encourage and support student's rights, exercising their power to protect the cost of education and promote positive and safe activism within their campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said "I couldn't go to the protest because I had to work and go to class," ASI College of Business Representative elect, Kelli Klopf said. ASI President and CEO elect, Manal Yamout, explained her opinion as to why more students did not attend. "The timing in regards to the academic calendar is off.

Drawing even more attention to the protest was the police escort, made up of about a dozen motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front of the procession. Sergeant Art Doherty of the San Diego Police Department said that he was pleased with the protestors' peaceful nature. "So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm glad we can do this stuff. This is America, this isn't Iraq." According to event organizers, anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 faculty could be laid off from the CSU alone as a result of reduced higher education funding. It was also estimated that cuts could force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students next year. Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher education include tuition and fee increases, larger class sizes and the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP. CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman summed up the situation after the march ended in front of the state building: "The effect of these budget cuts is to not only raise student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that effects the quality of education." He continued, "What happens with increased class sizes is that students, more' and more, are LUNCH: you forced to become passive consumers of knowledge, instead of active producers of knowledge.

The p rogramming board at CSUSM is the organization that promotes campus life. Of the f our proposed 04/05 budgets that were available at the meeting, two of the proposed budgets outlined the proposed amounts to the programming board. According to the proposed 04/05 budget, if the referendum f ee increase next fall fails to pass, the f unds allocated to t he programming board could cut f rom $90,000 t o $44,584.

Lager was surprised to finally see some school spirit on campus, and to find that it's growing beyond its reputation through events like the International Fair.

Relationships bring us pleasure, as well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional roller coaster ride that ensues is almost too much to take. There are many different paths a relationship can follow. You meet someone, you start dating, you break up and it's done. Or, you meet, start dating, fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids and magically drive off into the sunset in the soccer mom mobile. In talking to some students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic stories out there. John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two years, at least that was the way that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were involved in a one-upping contest that involved each of them cheating on each other with former loves and the random encounters with people that they met along the bumpy path of their relationship. "When she walked in the door at the senior prom, I thought she was going to faint," John said. "I told her that I was going to just chill with friends, after she informed me that she was going to go with her ex-boyfriend. The look on her face was priceless to see me there with a date having a great time, or pretending to anyway," he said. The second year of the relationship was coming to an end when John was informed that he had been accepted to a university not close to the town where they lived. "It was raining and I can remember getting out of the truck and just sitting there together smoking when I told her," he said. The best thing that he ever did was to "get outta Dodge," leaving her and the relationship behind. The promise of a new beginning was enough for John to realize that what he had to do was start his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain that he was dragging around. John accomplished just that and met someone else a couple of years later. They plan to get married in 2005. Lisa's relationship lasted six and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa and boyfriend were high school sweethearts and met when she was only 15-years-old. A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the direction the relationship was heading; what she wanted from the relationship and the reality of the relationship were different things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not willing to work through, so Lisa bettered herself and broke off the relationship. She has since met someone new and is happier with that relationship. Chris's relationship lasted about a year before it finally ended. Chris was involved with someone younger and it was clear that they never were in the same place on important issues involving the relationship. "That whole princess attitude eventually was a turn off. I gave, and she took and never gave any- thing back," Chris said. The long distance relationship that occurred after she graduated high school and went to college added to the impending doom that the relationship was poised to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from the outside world, it began to put a strain on the friendships that Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit," Chris said. After putting up with the selfishness for some time, Chris finally broke it off. To get through the break up, Chris buried himself in his schoolwork and his job to fill the void that the absence of the relationship had left. Chris is happy now and is involved in another relationship with someone closer to his age. They share a lot of the same ideas about life and seem to be headed in the same direction. Jennifer and her fiance were living together with one of his friends when she began to think about her future and the man she was about to marry. Jennifer's fiancé had no job, no car and no inspiration to do anything but sit around the house. Jennifer relates that he would often think about doing something while listening to music blaring so loud that the foundation of the house, as well as the relationship, were starting to crumble. "Getting out of the relationship was always on my mind," she said. One night after a long day at school and work, Jennifer was trying to sleep and he wouldn't leave her alone. A fter he accused her of cheating on him, Jennifer had decided she had had enough. She proceeded to take off the ring and said, "Here's your goddamn ring back, why don't you go buy yourself a car with it." Jennifer moved in with a friend and is beginning to live her life the way she wants. There were some things that students would agree were good ideas in dealing with break ups. One student put it the best when she said, "Talk to friends, work out, don't drink too much and don't just hook up with anyone to See BREAK UPS, page 5 �BREAKUPS from page 4 forget about the other person." For students who need additionalhelp in dealing with a broken heart, Student Health and Counseling Services across the street from campus, offer brief (usually up to 8 meetings per year) counseling to CSUSM "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becomming more honest or courageous with each other..." Dr. Fritz Kreisler students at no charge. Much of the time a view from a person that you don't know can be more helpful than that of a person that you do know. Dr. Fritz Kreisler, staff psychologist at the counseling center, said, "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becoming more honest or courageous with each other, clarifying what each partner wants from the relationship, helping them decide University Voice whether this relationship is right for them, examining whether Do you have any advice for there are overly controlling the professors on campus? or even abusive elements in the relationship, dealing with excessive jealousy or possessiveness, sexual issues and trust."

Dr. Kreisler also said that if couples or individuals are having difficulties that seem too much to work out on their own, he would recommend they consult with someone they trust, whose view is objective and who respects them. This could be one of the staff members at SHS, or any number of other people.

Williams p ursued t rack until then a mile cool down. This 1980 when h e retired. Coaching t raining cycle is Coach William's Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column, I am getting a lot of feedback around campus regarding topics I should cover. One topic that is constantly being brought to my attention is the f rustration regarding the collegiate athletics here at CSUSM. One common f rustration among students is that CSUSM does not have many collegiate sports, and of t h e collegiate sports that are o ffered are not among the major sports. Not to take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf teams, since they are doing a fine j ob, but those sports are not exactly the 'Britney Spears' of the sports world. Most of u s can remember those times during high school when we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust to hang out with f riends while catching a game. Some CSUSM students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us. " I t hink the f act that we don't have many sports at our school really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman Chantal Pasag. Freshman Jade Zwinger said, " I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to watch all of their football games. I have also been to a few SDSU games. Isn't that s ad?" T he point that Zwinger brings up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see a college football game then we have to make our way to another college campus. The lack of support f or the few sports that we do have is of concern as well. Cougar athletes have expressed their f rustration with the f act that there is hardly any support for their teams. Cross country and track athlete A imee Bradley asked, "How do you t hink it feels seeing hardly anyone f rom CSUSM at our events?" Several weeks ago I had that same feeling when I covered t he state surfing championships at San O nofre beach. There was not a single student f rom CSUSM that attended the event other than t he ones competing. I know that the majority of students do not choose to come to CSUSM because of the sports that are o ffered. I also know CSUSM is not exactly a social campus that can b e compared t o the likes of UCSB or Colorado University. H opefully one day our school will o ffer more sports for the students, because sports can do so much f or a college campus. S uccessful p rograms can rack in t he big bucks, dinero, cash, bling-bling or whatever else you call money. Sports c an also b ring notoriety and a wider appeal to the general public, which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university. Everyone ranging f rom cougar athletes to the casual f an h as shared their opinion with m e regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the solutions to your f rustrations. The only suggestion I have is for you to support the teams that we do have, even if you don't see them as Britney Spears.

A fterward they went to Balboa Park and listened to a reggae band to reward themselves. They deserve an award f or their organized e ffort at f ree speech. They protested cuts that according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for the state finance department, are due to California's "worst fiscal crisis ever." California doesn't have enough money so Gov. Schwarzenegger and h is associates did not raise taxes and is forcing t he California higher education systems to cut even more f rom their already lean p rogramming. One of the results is raised tuition and fees. Universities and colleges throughout the entire 50 states are experiencing the same thing. But students in California pay less f or school than the vast majority of other universities in the country.. Students in California pay 21 cents to the dollar to r un the CSU system, Palmer said. Recently student f ees f or t he CSU j umped 30 percent since 2003 and another 10 percent is expected for 2004-2005. The "Student Charges & Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey, conducted b ylhe National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC), reported that national resident undergrad tuition and f ees increased by 13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate student fees increased by 11.5 percent. It is the "largest single-year increase in more than a decade" the report stated. A nd American students a ren't alone in their tuition increases, it's happening worldwide. But one disappointing e ffect f rom the cuts, f or California anyway, i s the termination of Educational O pportunity and Outreach Programs. These are necessary tools to recruit and aid students f rom underprivileged backgrounds. These students whose parents didn't go to college, who don't make enough money, and don't know how to send their intelligent children to college, need the opportunity to step u p because above all, they are people who deserve a chance. We need these students in the system f or themselves and f or the state. Another r eport by the N ASULGC states that f or every dollar invested in higher education, there is a five dollar r eturn to t he economy. But t hat's not going to happen if colleges throughout the state shut down their p rograms and limit education. A representative f or Chancellor Reed, Clara Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a very strenuous and delicate negotiation process." The Governor, the legislators and the Chancellor all want t o go in their own direction. She said we can expect less classes due the cuts, so that tells how the negotiations are going. B ut Palmer would not comment on t he f uture of h igher education in the state. He said it depends on state revenues and on what revisions have b een m ade f or t he M ay budget proposal. So while t he C alifornia state d epartment of finance work w ith the Governor, CSU b oard of t rustees, and other state agencies on c rafting t he May budget, several h undred Southern C alifornia students decided t o express t heir f rustration over t he peel b ack of state f unding. T hey all j umped on a b us yesterday t o storm t he G overnor's o ffice in San Diego. T hen they all went to listen t o a reggae b and. Well nice t o k now we still have t he f reedom of t he first a mendment in San Diego. Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan t he event, said it would t ake a lot more t han a f ew h undred students m arching to have a n influence on t he state legislators. A ll t he state employees c urrently c rafting the budget a re in such hectic environment to finish it, that who knows if t hey'll give more than a couple seconds notice to t he news of student protests. Potes-Fellows said, if the students make themselves heard then legislators and the governor will realize that someone is s uffering when they apply budget cutbacks. A nd t hat's what it takes — pro-active people t aking a stand f or what they believe in. Compliments to those w ho c ared enough to practice their right to f ree speech and o rganized protest yesterday. You a re all heroes of the CSU system, a nd of t he A merican legacy. Appreciating knowledge as our professors' s ift R v T A S O N ROBBINS By JASON R ORRTNS: Pride StaffWriter who distribute knowledge the most effectively.

I later came to the conclusion that he i s j ust supersmart. In addition to his seemingly paranormal understanding of events, I must also recognize Dr. A rnade's passion f or teaching. I recall one slideshow about the architecture of Cathedrals in Europe; a topic one may regard as bland. Well it was not bland to Professor A rnade.

Since the store opened in 2003, w e have been attempting to get copies of book requisitions from the university, to no avail. The university's position is that Aztec Shops, because of its legal structure, is not subject to the California Public Records Act, which opens the business of its public institutions to citizens. This, despite the f act that it allows the o ff-campus store at San Diego State, where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its requisitions. This, despite the fact that state universities all over California routinely hand over requisitions to their off-campus competitors. This, despite the fact that Cal State's bookstore and university allow other members of the public - namely, publisher's representatives - to view the material it denies us. I have a few problems with this treatment. First, Aztec Shops is an agent of the university and should be subject to the same legal strictures. If they outsourced their personnel management to a foundation, would they be exempt from labor laws? Second, and more important, should a public institution be in the business of stifling competition so that it can charge higher prices f or its books? Who benefits.. .the students who p ay higher prices f or their books? The community, who loses a taxpaying business? Thirdly, why should w e b e singled out f or p oor treatment? Because w e're new? Because Aztec Shops and C SUSM think they can drag their f eet until w e disappear? I wanted the student community and public to b e aware that perhaps the Cal State San Marcos administration and its agents may not have the best interests of students and public in mind. From m y perspective, at least, there appears to b e another agenda at work. Sincerely, John Kilby Manager, Discount Campus Books Vote to get George Bush out of office reported "Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency." This is only a partial list of shortcomings. Admittedly, Mr. Bush does not like to read newspapers or watch television. Perhaps if he did, h e might have a clue as to domestic or world opinion— if he even cared. Students and citizens, I humbly ask that you consider these critical issues and our future; and please— please vote. I am certain our fragile democracy needs your involvement now more than ever.

I t hink it is a strong testament t o the work t his s taff h as p ut i n t his semester t o make this paper both informative and entertaining. One section that did, however, prompt questions was the Letter To T he Editor section on the opinion page and the exchange between t he participants who submitted letters. Some readers expressed concern that t he letters went f rom voicing c oncerns over t he ASI elections t o personal battle between Erik Roper and Austin Myers. Other readers thought that t his t ype of exchange was out of place in The Pride. In the name of ART we are being tricked into accepting works that teach new inventive ways to abuse, torture and mutilate the female body. A picture frame contained three photographs. One of a middle aged woman naked and using a hand held electric beater to tantalize her breast. The other two photographs were of young girls also using tools in inappropriate ways.

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM B y K YLE OTTO Pride Staff Writer The vivacious spirit of A ztec dance, the passionate p oetry of t he exquisite Spanish tongue, and t he unquenchable fervor of t he young author's imagination are but a f ew colors in the collage of artistic student organizations h ere at CSUSM. Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan P erforming lively dances f rom t he various Mexican states of Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student organization, Ballet Folklórico M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o b ring t he culture of the Mexican people to t he stage. Vice President of Mixtlán, Rosa Balcazar, remembered visions of her youth, as a little girl in Mexicali, saying, " The people love to dance, they love p arties, they love life, and it's expressed in the music and in t he dance. It reflects back on the people, the culture, on the beliefs, and the lifestyles." Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its name meaning "People of the Skies," employs its talent for a variety of events, surviving its bustling September p erformance schedule d uring the month of Mexican Independence, as well as f or the May celebrations of Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the club hosts d ance p erformances, sharing the history of their a rt with curious crowds. The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of vibrant red, yellow, orange and white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday. By attending workshops at San Diego State University, and three-day conferences hosted by Ballet Folklórico companies, such as Panzantes Unidos, in the San Diego area, Mixtlán strives to achieve its goal, as articulated by Balcazar, to "learn about Mexico, through its music and folkloric dance performance, and to create social awareness that educates people about Mexico's history, a rt and culture." Garabatos Likewise b ringing the art of the Latino heritage to CSUSM, the student magazine, Garabatos, invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to let their voices soar with poetry, short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in Spanish at each semester's end. A s President Maria Acuna explained, the organization's name, Garabatos, means " The Scribbles." She said, "We thought it was a good title for the magazine, because i t's what we do. It is the first writing, t he first thing that any person could have a dream to b e a writer, to be a poet. The first thing that we t hink is good comes f rom our heart, f rom our minds." Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a unique avenue for experimenting authors within the writing classes of the Spanish department to contribute those o ffspring of their hearts and minds. "First they write in the classes, but some students have the passion to write - and who knows, maybe that student who never thought about it, maybe one day will b e a good writer. T hat's one of the visions that I have - giving everybody the opportunity to t ry to do something with their minds and their spirits - to put it in words, and see what happens," said Acuna. Like Mixtlan, Garabatos extends its a rms t o embrace the campus through events such as the annual Dia de los Muertos festival, f or which it has, f or the past two years, hosted a creative writing table f or "anybody who wants to come over and w rite Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you can make u p about your boss or f riend - some people w rite about their professors - it's f unny," said Acuna. Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of Garabatos were featured at the international f air on Wednesday, boldly reciting verses of their writings before a mesmerized audience of fair-goers. Desiring involvement f rom t he community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable to The Pride, established on the university, but not confined to campus. "Everybody can come and participate - even if you don't speak Spanish, even if you're not f rom Cal State San Marcos. We don't want to box ourselves in - we want to b e open to new ideas," she said. Expressing her wish for the f uture of Garabatos, Acuna spoke of workshops the club attends with a similar Spanish student magazine at San Diego State University, saying, "To have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some professional writers to teach us." Publishing Garabatos' newest issue in May, Acuna, a graduate student of the Spanish master's program, shared her commitment to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next semester I plan to give more time to Garabatos, because this is something that is my passion." Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild A s the muses smile upon the enraptured words of Garabatos, so do they grace with courage the very essence of the writers o f Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild, another creative literary f orum here on campus. Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers, and J T Vernon of the literature and writing studies department, Artistic Rights is "A writing guild dedicated to creativity, originality, and works of writing, visual arts, multimedia, music, and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's master's program. The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26 members as well as f rom others in the department, albeit with l ofty publication standards. " We're pretty critical. We like s tuff that has edge to it, we like s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that maybe is k ind on the roadblock to f urther publication at another time," said Myers, also a master's student in the department. Publishing a 16-page hard copy to ^various states outside California in 2002, P ugh j oined creative forces with Myers and Vernon f rom a class they shared, to initiate t heir guild. "We wanted t o have workshops on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o have people that were serious about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat. We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when people read it, they say, 'oh, wow, these people on t his publication actually took some t ime t o w rite, they really a re serious about what t hey're d oing,'" said Myers. "We've k ind of w anted t o t ap the creativity on c ampus here a little more," said P ugh. T he heralding call has b een heeded, indeed. Nearly 50 submissions have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely 10 to b e published electronically. To p erfect their skills to these demanding standards, guild members regularly meet to workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to peers for constructive criticism. Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these aspiring writers are lent the ears of fellow dreamers, dripping f rom their tongues the words of their most beloved works, in the thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading. "People actually came and read their work at an open f orum, and then we sat down and discussed it," said Vernon. The first issue of A rtistic R ights' publication " will c ome out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.

Expires 0S/0S/04(g �What's hot and what's just not By KEVIN B RABEC Pride Staff Writer There is a lot of diversity w hen it comes t o style expression exhibited by students on campus. Sometimes the c ampus looks like a fashion show with t he students acting as the r unway models. Since first impressions are important and the style you have says a lot about you. We asked some students what they t hink. What's Not? What's Hot? What's Not? "Colors are in and vintage s tuff like 4 0's style dresses with stiletto heals are w hat's h ot." "All those guys that wear too many wristbands, they might as well b e wearing a long sleeve shirt." " Don't copy what everyone else is w earing" and "don't stick to one label m ix and match labels," Michael Washburn, senior. What's Hot? "Converse, j eans, a nd nothing too flashy" and something "ideal for the w eather" What's Not? "One piece b athing suits, no matter what t he situation is," and "Trucker h ats, I a m over it." Laceita A rmstead, senior. What's Hot? "Pleated skirts and belts that look like scarves." What's Not? "Shirts with sayings on t hem like 'No. 1 baseball player' or 'Welcome to Jamaica' and "capris or pants; if you c an't tell the difference don't wear 'em." Kristi Taylor, senior. What's Hot? "Take trends and put a twist on i t" and "whatever your look is own it." Raymond Orias, sophomore. What's Hot? "Volcom, Lost, Ezekiel, and Billabong.. .Circa and Globe are selling w ell...Spy and Von Zipper right now, but I t hink Electric is really getting bigger." What's Not?

It is t he policy of The Pride not t o print anonymous letters. Research does not always mean spending hours in a laboratory, Worden said. It also includes scholarly and creative activities. As a result, there is a wide range of existing research projects conducted here at CSUSM. Biology professors Thomas Wahlund and Betsy Read, for example, are currently heading a project that studies how certain single-celled m arine algae make coccoliths, which are concretelike structures made f rom calcium carbonate. If they can figure out how the algae makes these structures, that information could b e used to improve medical devices such as heart monitors and scaffolding supports for bone transplants. Wahlund compared finding the right gene(s) to " kind of like (finding) a needle in a haystack, but we've got lots of hay." Another research project, led by Nancy Caine, a psychology professor that studies animal behavior, takes things outdoors. Since 1992, Caine has been involved with the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (CRES). In an area located behind the Wild A nimal Park, Caine studies G eoffroy's marmosets, which are Brazilian primates. On the cultural side, classes taught by anthropology professor Bonnie Bade and computer arts professor Deborah Small work with the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseno Indians. " The goal of our project is to show the vitality of the Luiseno culture today," Small said. O ften, research projects are made possible through grants. There are two t ypes of grants: "We're b etter t eachers b ecause w e d o r esearch, a nd b etter r esearchers b ecause w e're t eachers." -Dr. N ancy C aine internal and external. Internal grants are f unds contributed by the Provost and the Cal State system, and they are given directly to the faculty for research. External grants can come f rom other outside organizations and government agencies, such as the National Institute of Health, which f unds Wahlund and Read's genetics project. " Our faculty are very active in pursuing external grants," Worden said. She estimates that each year, CSUSM faculty and s taff d raft about $20 million in grant proposals, and receive about $5 million in new money. Other faculty members, such as Nancy Caine, do not need grant money to conduct their research projects.

The amount of research a f aculty member conducts varies among instructors and departments. " It's something that f aculty and department chairs work out every semester," Worden said. Sometimes this means f aculty must conduct research during the summer, holidays, and weekends. " [The project] engages a great deal of my time and energy," Deborah Small said, noting that it was also extremely rewarding to work and f orm relationships with the members of the Band. She also noted that at times, she and her students would t urn o ff their cameras to stop and cultivate plants with the people they were filming. For some faculty, research is not separate f rom teaching, but : closely linked. " The primary benefit [of research] is that it m akes our f aculty better teachers," Worden said. "It makes them experts in their field, and o ur students are the beneficiaries." I n addition to f aculty members gaining expertise, many students benefit because they are directly involved with these projects. "Since [research] all involves students," Wahlund said, "it's j ust a d ifferent k ind of teaching environment." Caine called working with CRES as an opportunity many students do not get, and said it is "something many young people k ind of d ream of that are interested in animal behavior. We're better teachers because we do research, and better researchers b ecause w e're teachers." | 1 11 ¡1Hs J j B r good Korean cuisine in a bistro setting.

All told, cuts will result in 350 to 400 fewer freshmen and transfer students to be accepted in 2004-05. The majority of enrollment reductions will affect incoming freshman classes. Besides enrollment reductions, the college will need to offer fewer courses and eliminate lecturers for 2004-05, said college Interim Dean Vicki Golich last Wednesday. Concerning course offerings, Associate Dean for Budget and Operations Ranjeeta Ghiara said, "We've been very deliberate about trying to anticipate where the student need is the greatest, and trying to ensure that resources are flowing to those areas. We are always trying to see where the greatest number of students can be served best." Out o f600 sections, the college anticipates 40 fewer offerings in the coming year, said Golich. Ghiara detailed the effect of OPIATES ,from page 1 N eedles like this one are used to inject opiates s uch as heroin directly into the b loodstream. emphasized their use of heroin as a sedative and a cough suppressant. Many movies have been made to show what happens when people develop an addiction to opiates, the most common being heroin. For example, in the movie "Trainspotting" by Irving Welsh and John Hodge, there is a scene that shows what it would feel like to have to "kick the habit." Even the phrase "kicking the habit" comes f rom the exaggerated twitching caused by the drug exiting the body's system. A man named Mark Dillon created a web site aiming to repel children from drugs. Brand names for opiates are slightly different, according to Dillon, because of the people who use the term; scientists and scholars refer to opiates as Opium, Codeine, Morphine, Heroin and Methadone. Not only does he provide accurate information about opiates, but also he provides extensive information about legal and illegal drugs at www.sayno.com. Opius exotic, the sight is pleasing, and the effects are euphorically fatal if they are abused or immensely relieving if the instructions are followed. Kellogg Library evacuated BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The whistling sound of smoke alarms echoed throughout the Kellogg Library Thursday evening, causing the evacuation of all three floors. Students on the library's first floor didn't know what to make of the ear piercing sound and flashing strobe lights. Isidro Zamora, a CSUSM student, said, "I thought it was just another fire drill." Around him were several other students who didn't acknowledge the alarm as threatening until the intercom instructed them to evacuate the premises. Some students casually organized their items, while other fled for the doors leaving back packs and books. Within minutes of the fire alarm, two officers made their entrance on the first floor looking for said Ghiara. Ghiara explained the benefit of the self-support summer session policy, which provides for zero state funding support and essentially privatizes costs, saying, "This allows us to take the f unds that were allocated for summer and offer more courses in fall and spring.

While Trujillo was teaching at the University of Michigan, before he came to CSUSM in 1994, an experiment was conducted that demonstrated a correlation between a person's potential as a drug user and the amount of opiate-like molecules (called endogenous opioids) produced by that person's brain. Ironically, as the United States is currently dedicated to fighting the drug war of today, heroin (among other drugs) used to be legal at different points in history.

Next they must do their homework by exploring all prospective employers. Sources that are available to them are websites, libraries and other search engines. The CATSS website is www.csusm.edu/ CATSS. Statistics show that an employer spends 4 to7 seconds when viewing a resume for the first time. The resume is the first chance to highlight your assets and abilities, so it must be brief and concise. The career and transfer center encourages all students to bring in their resume to critique which is done in 24 hours. Once your resume is completed and critique it can be posted on a website. The career and transfer center also helps prepare students for interviewing by conducting mock interviews. Once all this preparation is completed, students need to talk with each other and explore the hidden job market where j obs are available only by word of mouth. Five to six hundred other people had similar encounters at the 90 booths set up for companies and organizations like the U.S. Army and GEICO Direct. While some students experienced success as they walked through the Job and Resource Fair 2004 that the Career and Transfer Student Services Center (CATSS) hosted, others felt a little less fortunate. Joel Schwartz, an undecided freshman, carrying the f ree pens and pencils recruiters had given him, said he was looking for part time seasonal summer work, and that the fair wasn't really set up for people his age. Another student said there was too much part time work presented and not enough career opportunities. It was evident that the job seeker's confidence and outlook toward the job fair had an influence on success. Rosa Arguelles, a junior in the college of business, said she found possibilities with Wells Fargo, the YMCA and Social If a company doesn't have a certain job, its recruiters can probably point to another company that does. "Eighty to 85 percent ofjobs are found through personal contacts," Wells said. Most employers want students with "soft skills": teamwork and interpersonal skills. Students need to articulate their abilities to companies. support helped us tremendously lecturers that won't be back here to actually augment our fall and next semester, but they might be spring offerings, at the same time back in f uture years as we start offering courses in summer for to get some money flowing back. those who need it."

There will be some f ar we've have had to cut pieces out, but not any f ull programs." To offset the effects of budget reductions, the college will be relying partially on "fundable feasible projects," or providing channels through which outside agencies may contribute financially. "There will be corporate people in the community that will see a d irect relationship to getting good quality graduates out of this university - they may be willing and able to donate equipment," said Golich. Ghiara explained the gravity of the four independent budget reductions to the college in the past year, saying, "Last year we had some money that had been T H E P RIDE Photo by Jon Rodley/77ze Pride Legoland was one of 90 companies at the job fair. Here are several steps of preparing to enter the j ob market. Self-assessment is important. It's imperative for students to know what they want out of life. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What skills and abilities do they have to offer the employer and, most importantly, what is their ability to articulate those abilities to sell themselves to the employer? Security. "It was a great chance to meet people for making connections," Arguelles said. Granted that only limited jobs are available at a job fair, Pam Wells, associate director for the CATSS said that "everybody is a potential contact." "It w as a g reat c hance t o m eet p eople f or m aking c onnections." - Rosa Arguelles, student Job fairs are for business majors and arts and science majors, Wells said, but it's "more of a stretch" f or arts and sciences students. "Any kind of (work experience) is something to add to a resume." While the j ob fair is not to be c onfused with a career fair, it does give students an eye into the working world. Jessica Brooks, a non-student f rom San Diego has j ust that. She said she's been to 15 j ob fairs in the past month and found the fair a "very promising experience." A s the wind calmed and the fair came to a close, Brooks walked away with resumes, notes, and brochures in her hands. With the right j ob in mind she said she would "go home and fill out an application . .. and send it in." For education and graduate students the CATSS will host an Education j ob fair Friday, April 23 and will also host a graduate/professional school fair October 18. CUTS,from page 2 rolled over f rom prior years, so we had a little cushion going into last year.

Fair Trade movement Tuesday, April 20, 2004 an average of $4 per day, less than one cup of latte at the corner Starbucks. Coffee is a worldwide product, second only to oil as a commodity, requiring the labor of millions of people in nearly 80 countries. The producers, many small independent farmers, however, can't sell their coffee directly to the marketplace. Given the lack of co-ops, unions, or other organized groups, they are forced to sell their beans to middlemen at prices drastically below the market price or value of their harvest. These organizations, by virtue oftheir size andpurchasingpower, then influence the worldwide price for wholesale beans. Compounding the problem, many of the small farmers must go to the middlemen for pre-harvest loans, often at high interest rates, furthering the debt cycle between the farmer and the middlemen. The upshot of this apparent injustice is the "Fair Trade" coffee movement. Inspired by groups such as TradeFair, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam America and other non-profit groups committed to seeking solutions for hunger and poverty worldwide, it promotes the direct purchase of coffee beans from certified Fair Trade producers. Additionally, it encourages the formation of democratic cooperatives or associations controlled by the farmers. These associations must also commit to implementing crop management and environmental protection plans to ensure the safety of the environment. Indeed premiums are offered to those willing to work towards organic production. Dripping more cash on down to the coffee farmer by cutting out the middleman BY JEN JONES Pride Staff Writer It comes as no surprise to most that a million dollar Harry Winston diamond necklace did "not cost H arry Winston anywhere near a million dollars to produce. In fact Harry Winston did not mine, cut, polish or even set the diamond. Middlemen did this and took their cut. The same can be said for many commodities that pass through middlemen on the way to the consumer. Nevertheless, the disparity between how much a producer is able to command for his product, versus the retail amount eventually charged for the product, has never been greater, or more unjust, than that facing the small independent coffee farmer. According to Oxfam Canada, of the 25 million coffee producers, approximately 15 million are small farmers. And TradeFair, an organization dedicated to abolishing unjust working conditions in Latin America, claims many small, independent coffee farmers earn University V oice What is the worst thing about being a student?

"It really helped me to have professor VonSon push me to my potential. I was really afraid at my first conference because I was presenting my student written paper to a group of doctors and experts.

Castellano hopes to make a difference in the lives of others and their careers the same way some of his professors have helped him. He encourages other professors to focus on each student's future and potential, to go beyond the class requirements and help the students to the next level of their future. "If I did not have that type of support I would not have won the grad student award," Castellano said, "And would not be where I am today."

In 2000, the price paid by the middlemen to the farmer was only .38 cents per pound. Fair Trade guarantees $1.26 per pound. Not all Free Trade claims can be taken at face value. Recently, a coffee-roasting company in Massachusetts, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company, took aim at a popular brand, Newman's Own Organics, for being less than t ruthful in its claim to be a Fair Trade coffee company. Newman's Own had recently started its own Fair Trade Line of coffee, claiming that its coffee was of Fair Trade origin. Dean's Beans, which purchased all 250,000 pounds of its coffee beans f rom Third World farmers at prevailing Fair Trade prices, claims that Newman's Own merely includes an insignificant amount of Fair Trade beans in its mix, so as to use Fair Trade solely as a marketing ploy. While it will likely take a long time to change the buying patterns of the largest retail coffee companies in the United States, some progress is being made. Universities, such as Tufts, and Brown are already using Fair Trade coffee. Starbucks, one of the largest coffee retailers in the world, has agreed to implement a one-year trial with the product to see if its customers like it. Locally, The Educated Bean sells Fair Trade coffee right here on campus. Keith Kramer, who works at the Educated Bean, said, "He wishes more people supported I wish m ore p eople s u p p o r t e d F air T rade." Keith Kramer, owner E ducated B ean is "happy that the Educated Bean is selling Fair Trade coffee, because it insures that farmers are paid fairly and able to provide for their families."

Personally I was aware that you were able to run for ASI. It was clearly posted on message boards around campus. I don't think you could go through a day of school and not pass an announcement that there were ASI elections. ASI even gave us chances to run as a write in. I do not think this is socialism, this is democracy. Those who don't participate in the process will not get their voice heard. I am disappointed that there was such a low turn out of candidates - we lack university life. Personally I think this student was j ust disgruntled because, like me we were too lazy to go in to the ASI office, and fill out an application. I have a message for all students if you're interested: RUN, it's not hard. As for the person who wrote the article about a proposed cost of $4 per semester in child care, I think you should step back and imagine if you were a college student with a baby. If you have a baby you don't exactly have all the money in the world. To have a day care that is close, reliable and cheap will alleviate tension for the mother or father. They will then be more productive and will learn faster. This is true for all jobs. If corporations or employers offered complementary child care, they would be more productive because the parent w on't worry about the kid. Think of it as an investment. I 'd like to close by saying fussing and crying won't do something, action will, running for office will. Please participate in the process active students create to make an active campus - it will be fun and interesting. It will be the "college experience!" Felipe Zanartu undeclared, sophomore Posting on boards is not active enough Dear Mr.Zanartu: I'm glad to hear that you were one of the VERY FEW students who were privileged to hear about the ASI elections this year. I am also aware that messages were posted on message boards around the campus. However, as you should know, student response is typically low from anything posted on the message boards. I know this because of my own experiences with the boards. You are right; I probably couldn't have gone a day without passing one of the posted messages on the boards. Just because students are "passing b y" these boards, does not imply that they are reading them. This is simply not an efficient way to reach out to the student population for an event of this magnitude. Yes, it is quite amazing that there are so many opportunities at our university that go unfulfilled. What a shame. Also, you claim that in order to complain you must participate. Where is this written in any rules? I must have missed that. Criticism is often a way to participate in a democracy. Censorship of criticism is totalitarianism. Also, for your information I DID run for office last year. I believe that fact, more than anything, gives me the right to be critical of the failures of our current ASI board members. In exercising my Constitutional right to freely express myself, you have found fault. I find that ironic considering the club you are a member of and what it advocates - PAN. In closing, you state that "crying and fussing" won't do anything, action will. My response to this as far as the ASI election is concerned: any productive ACTIONS taken by ASI in the first place would have eliminated any criticism on my part. Respectfully, Austin Myers Senior, Social Sciences Major It's not ASI's fault regarding election turnout Dr Mr. Myers: Thank you for your input. Please understand I am not trying to suppress your freedom of speech, I love free speech. Some times criticism sounds like suppression - it certainly feels like that when I argue over issues like war and the patriot act and I am called unpatriotic. We are better than that, and if you feel I suppressed your free speech I am sorry, please forgive me. Regarding action, I believe like you criticism is good. Even though every time I criticize the right I am attacked. I understand their attack is like going on defense. Please understand it sucks to have a student government that wins unopposed, but it happens some times even in the local elections. However this is not something you can entirely blame on ASI. As you know, I stated I f eel this campus has a serious lack of campus life. A lot of the time we have people who don't care for either side* It sucks, but Students debate how ASI handled this year's election you know there are people who care about office, and at least in my opinion, they would look at the message boards in order t a change campus policy. Once again, thank you for your response. I love debate and I don't want to live in a totalitarian regime. In fáct Nick B. (CR's) and I are organizing a debate (fair and balanced) to get out the vote and inform people on our side of the issues. I hope we have your blessings with that event. Thank you once again for your response. Respectfiilly, Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Help would be better than criticism accountability would've resonated with you since y ou're a republican and that's one of republicanisms core principles - but I guess I was wrong. You suggest that your antics have somehow "enraged" me - nothing could be further from the truth. On the one hand, your letters make me laugh. On the other hand, your letters make me sad because they are indicative of the poison that has seeped into the American democratic process. What I mean is that, too often not only in our politics but in our lives, when people have a problem with something, they somehow feel their civic duty is upheld by doing nothing more than nay-saying, when what is really needed is that they engage their political leaders with not only their nay-saying, but their suggestions for how their world could be improved for the benefit of all in the future. If anything, I think anyone looking at our two letters next to each other would see that it is you, not I, who is "enraged." Maybe if you hadn't bottled up all your ideas for how the elections could've been better promoted during the process, you wouldn't currently be harboring all that psychologically unhealthy anger. You might want to do something about that. "Respectfully" Your #1 Fan, Erik Roper Austin, I didn't attack you. I merely pointed out a glaring irony in your exercise of free speech. I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion either. Also, you are incorrect in asserting that it is my job to inform the students about elections. It is a task for the entire board of directors, with the effort typically being spearheaded by the ASI Elections Committee. But, you would've known that if you had ever bothered to engage ASI with your concerns about the degree of elections publicity at any time during the process. Additionally, with regard to the first sentence of your most recent "respectfully" rendered message to me, I never asserted that it was your j ob to publicize the election. I was merely pointing out that your passion for this issue seems highly incongruent with your Dear Mr. Roper, Erin Dalman lack of suggestions for how it and all other ASI Board could be improved and/or your Members: afore mentioned apparent lack I am glad that we all agree that of concern during the elections the ASI elections were a failure process, which was demonstrated this year. by the fact that you never came That was the purpose in my to ASI to voice your concerns. writing the article that was I also think it pertinent to point out that there was just as much, if printed in The Pride. Also, I do apologize for naming only Erik not more advertising to promote Roper and Erin Dalman in my the election this year than last article. According to Erik Roper year - yet less candidates ran I should have named every for office. You assert that ASI member of our ASI board as is to blame for this reduction in participation and I "respectfully" they are all responsible for the publicizing of the ASI election. reject that completely. Also on a different note. I would Democracy is a two-way like to inquire why certain votes street. At some point the people were not accounted for in the need to engage in the democratic election. I know that I and others process of their own volition. voted for a specific individual Government can't do everything who did not appear in the for everybody. Where's the election results as having gained personal responsibility, the any votes. accountability? Mr. Roper, maybe people are Before I saw these recent not engaging in the political letters you've been sending, process because when they do I would've thought that , their yot£Sw ar§ d iscount^ , the concept of individual* - * ASI has not accounted for every vote were those I mention above. I ask that ASI account for EVERY vote and allow for our protest to be heard. I feel my voice is being crushed by those votes for a specific write-in was not tallied. A lso,! would like to know how Mr. Zanartu gained the knowledge of whom I voted for and the others that joined me.I believe this is a blatant violation of my privacy and I am angry about that. As far as my need to do something about my "psychologically unhealthy anger," I have none Mr. Roper. Are you playing a game of "Blame the Victim"? I am quite pleased with the responses I have received from you and others regarding this issue and I believe that I have made a contribution by bringing awareness to the topic at hand. Mr. Roper, do you not also bring awareness to social wrongs via protest? As I recall you did protest the College Republicans SUV show last year and no one criticized your act of protest. However, when I protest in order to bring awareness, it is wrong. This is "highly incongruent." As far as there being enough advertising for the election, I was not even aware one was going on until an article was printed in The Pride about the candidates all running unopposed. Perhaps, advertising was the same as last year: minimal. But I suppose that is what we have come to expect of our ASI leaders: minimal effort for towards truly "student relevant" issues. ASI should have been aware of the need to step it up a notch when they noticed that only a few candidates were applying. With all this said, I am glad that my effort to publicize my criticisms has brought awareness to the issue. That was my sole purpose and I thank you for allowing me to accomplish that. Respectfully, Austin Myers Any last words? Personally, I find it ironic that while Myers spent considerable time over the last two weeks lambasting ASI for how we, in his view, poorly publicized the election, he spent zero time on suggesting ways we could improve the process for next year. Once again, thanks for nothing Austin!

I decided not to purchase a parking permit this semester and things were going pretty good until the meter maid gave me a ticket for $25. I was enraged that the parking establishment would insist that I receive a monetary punishment for not becoming a member in their "parking club." Since the whole incident of receiving the citation I have carried through with a conscious decision of not to park on campus, and by going through with this plan I am no longer supporting the parking regime and its sinister quirky ways.

No cell phones in the library, please BY CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Cell phone mania has officially spread like a plague through the United States. Every American has a cell phone and uses it everywhere, including public bathroom stalls and while driving and writing at the same time. People can't afford to miss a call these days. But nowhere is talking, whether on a cell phone or with a friend, more disrespectful than in the library. When I say, "in the library", that includes the computer lab. The library is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. People go to the library to have some peace and quiet while enjoying a book or educating themselves on a topic of their choice. But Kellogg Library seems to be oblivious to that. People have absolutely no respect for the fact that rule number one in any library in the world is QUIET!

Indeed, the accompanying photograph of a couch sliced open exposing the fluffy goodness of its cushioning would tend to support the headline. However, i s this case, thus far, an example of actual vandalism? The California Penal Code defines vandalism and its penalty in section 594. This definition is as follows: "Every person who maliciously commits any of the following acts with respect to any real or personal property not his or her own, in cases other than those specified by state law, is guilty of vandalism: (1) Defaces with graffiti or other inscribed material, (2) Damages, (3) Destroys." For vandalism t o occur, an individual must "maliciously" deface, damage or destroy property not his or her own. This element has not been proven, a s of yet, in the case of the lounge couch. As I write this column, no person has been charged or even implicated with vandalism for the gash in the lounge couch. In fact, it has not yet been determined if there was malicious intent involved in this incident or if this hap- should be quiet enough for the tired and burnt out student to catch a quick catnap. A place where the sound of pages turning and computers clicking fills the hallways. A place where all cultures meet for the purpose of higher education. A place where knowledge rules and ignorance drools. The point at hand here is being quiet in the library. The computer lab should be reserved for quiet computer time. People need quiet to focus on the task at hand which I 'm sure is the same for all students. Graduate and get out as soon as possible. So quiet down people! ByChadSpinks N o f U i N 6 .

A s the lead for this article, staff writer Kyle Otto writes that this is "an incident of suspected vandalism." That statement is subsequently supported by the presentation of the contrasting interpretations of the incident by ASI VP of External A ffairs, Erik Roper, and Executive VP, John Gehris. Clearly, it is presumptive to identify this episode as a definite case of vandalism. This example is a reminder of how specific words can alter the reality of a situation. A s journalists, we constantly have t o reexamine the words that we choose to describe events, crimes or whatever we are reporting on.

Chargers butting heads with city BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The City of San Diego and the Chargers are in a stalemate, which could take several years of litigation to resolve. Mixed reactions in the community have both sides struggling to gain favor among fans. The Chargers claim they have not been competitive because the current stadium venue isn't bringing in the required revenue when compared t o other NFL franchises. The city of San Diego feels the Chargers are obligated to their contractual use agreement of 1995, which states they must play their home games here in San Diego until 2020 and give the City 10 percent of the gross stadium income. In return the city spent more than $78 million on stadium improvements and a new Chargers practice facility. Who's right and who's wrong? On March 4, 2003, the Chargers delivered a renegotiation notice to the city of San Diego claiming a "triggering event" had occurred. This means that the Chargers are able to shop a different venue if their financial situation falls below a certain threshold in regard to salary caps, NFL broadcasting revenue and stadium gate receipts. Both the Chargers and the city disagree on the meaning of the phrase "triggering event." As a result parties are at odds whether a "triggering event" exists, and if so, the subject matter and scope of the required negotiation to avoid litigation. The city of San Diego would like to reach an agreement outside of court which would benefit both parties, Kir c ampus, Our voice, Take Pride T he Pride Student Newspaper Register f or next fall ¿Tuesdays @ 5:30 p.rog however, neither side is willing to come to that half point yet. The city, however, demands that the Chargers open their financial books to reconcile the disparity, but the Chargers don't quite see it that way. The city of San Diego claims there is insufficient information t o determine if an "impact" exists, since the Chargers aren't opening up their financial books. Go Chargers! With a losing record of 4-12 last season, there is mixed reaction in the community whether the San Diego Chargers should get a new stadium or not. Andrew Middleton, a student here at CSUSM said, "I think there's a better way the city can spend their money, dealing with the homeless situation is a good example." According to the NFL, the city of San Diego has seen its last Super Bowl unless a new stadium is built. Jesse Wood, a student here at CSUSM, believes the Chargers should get a new stadium built, "Yeah, because I think the Chargers generate a lot of money for San Diego." Currently, the city of San Diego and the San Diego Chargers, are in closed negotiation, which would end the ticket guarantee and place a ballot proposal for 2008. Last Thursday represented an inaugural holiday. No, there weren't any presents exchanged or any scurring about looking for eggs. In fact, most people did not even know it was a holiday. Last Thursday was the 5Th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. Despite playing with eight Major League Baseball (MLB) teammates on the field, Robinson has announced that every April 15 will forever be known as was alone in the world. Even Jackie Robinson Day. One word though he went through all of can explain my feelings about that suffering Robinson managed to have a successful first year by this — finally. In 1947, Jackie Robinson was winning the rookie of the year signed by Branch Rickey to award. Most people know Robinson play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. was the first black player in Robinson had made a name for himself previously by being a modern day baseball, but most six sport star where he played do not know that Robinson was football, basketball, baseball, also the first black person to be tennis, swimming and track at a network broadcaster when he UCLA. From there, he eventually joined ABC in 1965. Robinson had more impact on became a star in the Negro the future of baseball than he leagues of baseball. There were much better players in the Negro would ever know. He inspired leagues at the time, but none numerous black baseball players had the ability to shoulder the who are now considered some of responsibility that Robinson took the greatest such as "Hammerin" Hank Aaron and "The say hey on. kid" Willy Mays.

How about free books or a parking permit? Well, now's your chance! The California State Student Association (CSS A), your statewide student government, is currently holding a contest titled the "CSSA Challenge." If you go to www.csustudents.org and answer five simple questions you'll have your chance. And, if you don't win the contest don't worry because your Associated Students is looking out for you. This past weekend we (Manal Yamout and Shannon Barnett, President and VP external affairs elect) attended the monthly CSSA conference hosted by San Francisco State. While at the conference we discussed several issues that could have drastic impacts on the quality of your education and the amount of money in your pocket. These issues ranged from a CSSA sponsored bill aimed at reducing textbook costs to the statewide student walkout planned for April 26th. It's wrong for the state government to balance the budget on the backs of students. That is why we need you to join us in walking out, getting on the bus, and protesting any further increase in our fees. On Monday, April 26th at 9:00am come down to Craven circle by the flag poles to get on the bus and join us in telling the Governor not to raise our fees. Sign up to get on the bus in the ASI office, Commons 207, or email r oper004@csusm.edu for more information.

Obviously nowhere close to sleeping, but somewhere above homework. Most likely invented by men to check out the women they've been dragging along ever since, bowling has fallen out of vogue within the last decade. But lane locations such as the Vista Entertainment Center hope to reel in at least a part of the college crowd with promotions offering discounted rates on shoes, games and food. At the Vista Entertainment Center, "Dollar Tuesdays" are designed to draw students f rom local colleges by renting shoes for a dollar, selling games for a dollar apiece and, at the snack bar, cooking up dollar food specials. A valid student I.D. is required to take advantage of the special rates, which run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to midnight every Tuesday. With the proliferation of bright, new bowling centers charging four or five dollars per game, older lanes have found that offering good deals is a good way to revive business. And a dollar per sidering that f ull price is $3.75 at the Vista Entertainment Center. Dollar Tuesdays draw a unique crowd, to say the least. Well less than half of t h e bowlers last Tuesd ay w ere from Cal State San Marcos or other local college campuses. The rest of the patrons reflected the diversity of Vista, with skill levels ranging f rom bumper bowlers to would be pros, complete with the post-strike strut (think rooster with a beer belly). Décor in the Vista Entertainment Center heralds back to the glory days of bowling, when games were only a dollar to begin with. Yellow and orange letters accent the brown signs and walls in this seventies, western-themed bowling alley complete with a men's bathroom labeled "Studs." Along the back of the lanes, box seats sit eerily empty, a strange sight for college students used to scavenging for an empty desk. The lanes themselves show signs of good maintenance, and the rest of the equipment is in good condition. The Vista Entertainment Center also has a recently renovated laser tag room, a sports bar and a banquet hall, although none of these are included during Dollar Tuesdays. To help determine where bowling stands in the list of popular student activities, the usual D ollar T uesdays p rovide a s ide-trip i nto a s ubculture s eldom e xplored b y c ollege s tudents. questions apply: Is it convenient? Is it cheap? Besides being both of these, Dollar Tuesdays provide a side-trip into a sub-culture seldom explored by college students (think mullets, tattoos and slippery shoes). Photo illustration by Jeremy Long Student band Angel Carry Me lives among us By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer They could be sitting next to you in class. You have your suspicions but you can't be sure. Black t-shirt. Tight jeans. Chuck Taylors. It is true. There are rock-stars on campus. Seth Gretlein and Andrew Middleton, two talented students from CSUSM have started a brand new band and they call themselves Angel Carry Me. Their sound is harder than the common interpretation of punk music but not quite death metal. Their vocals sound like a lower toned Davey Havok of AFI. They generate powerful drums and bass sounds that cause the ground to rumble, feet to shake and bodies to move. Gretlein, a 22 year old junior majoring in Communications has more energy than the Energizer Bunny. Even after studying for school and working on campus, Seth can still beat the drums faster and better than certain musicians who strive to be the best. Music will always be a part of Gretlein's life. He used to work at Warehouse music, until it was shut down due to the bittersweet technological development known so profoundly as: the Internet. "The Warehouse was awesome," Gretlein says. His job consisted primarily of helping customers find and purchase music but there weren't always customers in the store. With an open and sometimes empty music store equipped with a top of the line sound system and a five disk CD changer Gretlein spent his time consuming mass amounts of music. Madame Melanie Photy by Allison Sansbury/77ie Pride A s you might have s uspected S eth Gretlein, aka Gremlin, (pictured above) a resident of the University Village A partments, likes to rock. Andrew Middleton, the bassist, is a senior majoring in Communications. He is 23 years old and tutors younger students with a portion of his spare time. Middleton also spends time with his girlfriend when he is not jamming with the band, as does Gretlein. Robbie Blatt plays guitar and attends Miramar Community College.

When he is not busy bellowing out his voice box on stage, the singer, Dave Tompkins, currently has job where he too gets to engulf himself in music, among other things. Tompkins is a DJ at Pacers.

Photo courtesy of Artemis Records By ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer ee Stuck in limbo between pop and soft punk, Sugarcult tries to please both sides of the genre. Their new album entitled, "Palm Trees and Power Lines," is punk pop with no edge. The sound is typical MTV material which is reminiscent of the "American Pie" soundtrack. Drum lines build to climactic crescendos one can anticipate with little enthusiasm. The guitar r iffs are standard, redundant power chords which bands like Blink-182 and Green Day have already done and surpassed. The singer harmonizes well with the guitar melodies and back up vocals; however, he is overpowered by the use of lyrical clichés. One song recites "She's the blade and you're j ust paper." Though this band is musically tight, they seem to be driven by record label executives instead of their own style. They have a good chance in the music industry if they just stick musically to their raw gut instincts. Truly the pop punk explosion has exploded and Sugarcult missed the chance to cash in here in the US. In Japan, however, there seems to be a Sugarcult buzz.

ASI addressed the issue in its Friday board meeting agenda, in which Executive V P John G ehris disagreed with Roper, saying, "It was more than likely caused by an accident. It was not intentionally gashed."

COUNSELING from page 1 by the merging of counseling and psychological services with Student Health Services. They o ffer counseling at no charge to students and are open to addressing any personal concerns. Statistically, they have serviced approximately 5-10 percent of students in this particular " Many s tudents u se o ur s ervices t o t alk a bout p ast c oncerns, s uch a s c hildhood a buse o r m olestation." Dr. Fritz Kreisler f orm of help. The three licensed psychologists, along with t hree interns, working at SHS have provided an open ear to several different cases, f rom stress management and sexual f rustration to eating disorders and substance abuse. Problems don't always need to have f ace value, but can pertain to events f rom one's past. Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says, "Many students use our services to t alk about past concerns, such as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e a ffecting them now.... You name it, and w e'll work with it." Although there isn't anywhere closer for students to go, SHS will o ften bring special events and presentations to the campus. Support groups are also available. While the recent f ee increase couldn't b ring SHS onto the campus immediately, it has helped the counseling department. "It is likely that the fee increase will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely needed," said Kreisler. " In addition, the health facilities fee will [hopefully] someday result in the entire Student Health and Counseling area to move back to the campus, in a facility that we help design for our purposes." enrollment for the 2004-2005 school year, ASI needs t o either cut f unds f rom the P rogramming Board, which coordinates student activities, or cut f unding to the ELC. The third option is adding a $10 student fee to balance their budget. The board of directors h as chosen the third option in order to let the students decide if the ELC will remain open. Starting immediately, ASI will b e distributing surveys to students regarding the new f ee referendum in the fall. ASI President and CEO Honey F olkencouragedparents, students and teachers at the meeting to "pound the pavement" and help get the surveys completed by as many students as possible. "We really have to work in conjunction together," said Emberly Barking, student and parent of t wo children at the ELC. Folk explained to the parents that if the fee referendum goes t o the students in the f all and fails, then the ELC will close. " I don't t hink it's a wise decision, regardless of what the survey says. I don't t hink we should go to referendum at all," said E rin Dalman, ASI vice president of communications. E rik Roper, ASI vice president of external a ffairs, replied, " Contrary to E rin Dalman, we should t ake to a referendum. T his is not a dollars and cents thing. I t's people's lives. It should go to referendum to let the students choose if this is the right t hing f or CSUSM." O ne of the options ASI " This i s not a d ollars and c ents t hing. It's p eople's l ives. It s hould g o to r eferendum to let t he s tudents c hoose." Erik Roper announced in their last meeting w as to have an outside company come in and take over the ELC. On Friday, the board of directors voted unanimously against the proposal f rom Education Enrichment Systems. " There would be significant changes to s taff salary and teacher-toddler ratio," said Folk in regards to the Education Enrichment Systems proposal to take over the ELC.

Roper said likewise, "This damage was only the straw that broke the camel's back. We've had issues with having our meetings disrupted by the ruckus and commotion that regularly tends to go on in the lounge." LK member Royce Finlayson said, "They're j ust trying to use that as an excuse to get rid of elements of the society that they don't want hanging around anymore. They've never liked us." Echoing this view, Faasamala said, "Whatever happens in "I w ould c ertainly d isagree t hat t hey're b eing d iscriminated a gainst." Lura Poggi the lounge, we're always the scapegoats." Roper responded to such sentiment in the board meeting, saying, "I hope that the people that frequent the lounge don't think that this is a punishment geared toward any specific group of individuals." Poggi said concordantly, "My experience with them is that we've worked together to find solutions. I would certainly disagree that they're being discriminated against." In an amicable concession among Lounge Krew members and ASI VP of finance Crystal Folk, a formal Student Lounge Committee was initiated at Friday's board meeting, to be chaired by LK member Michael Kosich ("Dr. K"). Dr. K addressed the board with a motion to activate the committee, saying, "I would like to offer my help in any way as a member of the Lounge Krew on campus." ASI President Honey Folk declared the board's decision, saying, "This board has a consensus to reopen the lounge and form the committee and begin meeting." Store Your Stuff Over Break!

C a r e e r a n d T r a n s f e r S t u d e n t Servio®» C ai S taite S a n fiflarcss �VARIETY Students balancing parenting and higher education BY MICHELLE V ELARDE Pride Staff Writer They look like typical college students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend hours in the library, hunched over a computer, researching for reports. They complain about the b rutal commute they face every morning on the freeways of San Diego County. These students, however, have a d ifferent situation—they are parents as well as students. Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse group. It is impossible to make generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell. D oing it all: the world of a single mother Claudia Pawlowski, biology major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is nowhere close to being over. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Claudia wakes up early to take her nine-year-old daughter to school. A fterwards, she drives f rom El Cajon to San Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class. "Everything is on the go," she said. "My life is overwhelming." When her school day ends in the evening, Claudia then travels to hospitals throughout San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night observing people with sleeping disorders, while she herself only sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. Claudia's mother helps her raise her daughter, but Claudia said that most of the work falls on her own shoulders. She said that being a single parent means that she needs to b e her daughter's "mom, dad, brother and sister." Her responsibility as a parent o ften means that school is extremely difficult. "Getting an A is almost impossible," she said. "We both have homework together." She recalled a time when her daughter had a science project due the next day, and she herself had three assignments to finish. Even though continuing her education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she Photo by Michelle Velarde/ The Pride Ryan T homas a nd his d aughter, C anessa, g rocery shop t ogether w hile m om is a t w ork.

W hen his g irlfriend, a sophomore at CSU Long Beach, became pregnant, she wanted to finish her degree, and Ryan started working f ull-time to support their soon-to-be family. Now, he finds himself back where he started college, CSUSM, with a four-year-old daughter, a college-educated w ife working to support him, and a d ifferent perspective on his education. " My attitude has changed since I was a f reshman," he said. " I'm more focused on my education now t han I probably was back then." "Being a father, and having responsibilities, and having a daughter and having to work without a degree—it put a lot of things in perspective," he said. "Being a parent makes you a better person, and I really believe that, because you look at your kids, and you see what you want t hem to b e like, and you think of yourself at the same time. If I want my kid to b e committed to school and committed to learning, then I have to show that through example." Ryan is taking 19 units, and sees school as his job.

Q BT V N M1M A ' By ERIC MERCADO Pride Ombudsman study guide before an exam. Study guides are designed t o help students b efore an exam. They clearly state what the professor thought was important enough for students to study. Study guides cut through the B.S. and avoid curveball questions by professors. Questions should cover material relevant to the professor's teachings and what we have learned. O ften, teachers expect students to k now w hat's on the test without giving clarification. Then they ask a question that they d idn't even cover. Nevertheless, the answer to the N o matter what courses you may b e taking this semester. Many professors opt to hand out study guides before exams. Are these study guides helping students learn or diminishing their education? Throughout my college career, I've had professors give me a question was in the book. Of course, the right answer was on the last page of chapter 12. A fter studying the last 11 chapters for the exam, my eyes must have b een blurred due to the strain. A study guide clarifies what a teacher expects of you to know for the exam. Although study guides may seem like an easy cop out f or studying, the f act of the matter is: you still have to study, gather answers, understand, and c larify the material t o do well. Study guides eliminate time and stress on students who overload their brain with Studentin Spain: inadequate material that a professor may not include in an exam. I applaud teachers who prepare, aid and guide students in a clear direction before a big test. Study guides have b een a big factor for me doing well tests. I know if a teacher gives me a study guide and I don't do well, it's not because the teacher failed, it's because I failed to gather the information and knowledge to succeed. If I know a fastball is coming with no curves, then I control destiny of the outcome. IÉBÈÈÈÈ 1 have learntf I have learned a tremendous amount in the seven months I have been abroad and my learning is f ar f rom over. I can now find my way around the city without a map. I know where to buy cheap groceries. I have learned t o mop instead of vacuum, hand wash the dishes instead of putting them in a dishwasher, and hang up my clothes to d ry because there is no dryer. I have gotten used to seeing legs of h am h ung u p in every bar, market, and g rocery store; shopping f or m ilk that is kept on t he shelf and not in the r efrigerated section; and bagging m y own groceries when it is t ime t o check out. Going t o b ed b efore 1 a.m. now seems early, and waking u p at 5 p.m. a fter a night out on the town is ok. Sundays are for resting; since n othing is open there is nothing to do anyway.

From food and t ravel to culture and acceptance, McGuire says t he e xperience is well w orth it. heating and I now treasure a good heating system and the reassurance of always having hot water. I have learned that cars are not essential, there are other ways of getting around, the best of which is the use of your own two feet. W hen traveling around to other countries, I have learned to always go with your gut feeling. I have learned that there are many closed minded people in the world, some of whom will never change. I have felt the harsh discriminating treatment of being a woman and the prejudices against Americans. I have also met some of the people I admire the most and had some of the best times of my life! Living in a foreign country is not always easy, especially when you haven't yet mastered the language, but for me it has been well worth it. I understand a little bit better how the world works, not j ust how the United States works. I have now seen the s uffering of two nations when their people are attacked by terrorism, and I have witnessed first hand the protests of thousands of people against terrorism and violence. I have learned that you should never let people treat you poorly, even if you don't know how to stand up for yourself, you have the right to. The world can b e b eautiful or it can b e horrendous, sometimes it is j ust a matter of perception. These months I have spent in Spain have enriched my life in many ways and I would advise anyone t hinking about studying abroad to go for it because it will open your eyes to things you would have never known. Lily Mc Guire, CSUSM Student Studying abroad in Spain By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman I t hink last week's issue of T he Pride is a sufficient example of the solidification of a semester's worth of work. There is a f eeling of maturation as we come into the final issues of the semester with a good balance of content and a refined process of p utting the paper together. I feel we are moving in the right direction: what do you feel? I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but I did not receive a word on this article. In the past, readers have expressed concern over articles that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e. the penis pump and the sex doll articles), yet criticism connected with Spink's article has b een nonexistent. Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually attended the event, I would say that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am confident that the f ew h undred other people in attendance would agree with me. I can u nderstand if there were some a ffronted b y such a workshop; however, the pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in humans w arrants t he necessity of education on the matter. T hus, I feel the event was suitable f or our campus and the related article does not t arnish our image. What do you t hink? My e -mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu.

Photo courtesy of Grace Gale By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer "Holy Generic Hardcore Batman!" Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound Ever," proves there are too many generic hardcore bands trying to make it big. Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that follow formulaic song structures, and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of heavy breakdowns, emotionless choruses, and nonexistent melodies. The third track entitled "MRSA in Minor," includes a guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be recorded, ever. The vocals are lackluster and fail to convey the deep lyrical content that sparks emotion in the heart of every hardcore fan. Single tear. Listeners will find relief in the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick drum and fast fills, breathe some life into the album. The inability to obtain any information about the band f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less appealing. The boys in Grace Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some time on the production of their next album if they want to "make i t" in the world of hardcore. Although it failed to catch the attention of this critic, it may be of interest to fans of Norma Jean, Poison The Well, Iron Maiden and Converge.

Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's proposed $324,000 annual budget, according to Honey Folk, ASI executive president and CEO. Each CSUSM student pays $50 per semester to ASI. Lura Poggi, ASI executive director, said that currently 13 percent of the $50 student fee pays for the Early Learning Center and that ASI revenues might fall between 10 to 12 percent next year with the budget cuts that are currently taking place.

CSUSM ASI VP of External Affairs and Environmental Affairs Officer for the CSSA Erik Roper described the California Student Sustainability Coalition (CSSC)'s message as "well-received." "The Chair of the Board of Trustees was seemingly sympathetic to our plight," he said, despite unanticipated time restrictions to statewide-traveling presenters.

Photo Illustration by Sarah Carlin /The Pride Blendin ati imagination, dungeon masters, fantasy Photo by Kyle Otto /The Pride By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter Deep in the heart of the chaotic medieval age are the tales forged of the dungeon master, mythic gods, powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy assassin lurking in the black of night outside a raucous tavern. The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games. Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by each, if one should dare. Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds of the mind. The dungeon master The essence of the role-playing game is found in the heart and mind of any player who joins the "campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master (GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm he has created, narrating the events that set the stage for player interaction. As the DM tells the story, player characters (PCs) are free to interact with their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as they choose, confined only by their own characters' abilities. Players adopt the roles of characters such as warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning them personal traits such as strength and intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor, spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them with backgrounds and personalities, to be played accordingly. Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform DM's and players as to how their game should be run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the uncertainties of game experiences, "character sheets" that record the statistics of their characters and sometimes maps of the lands they explore. No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the thrill of evolving into the hero you have always dreamed you could become. Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and his gaming companion and master's colleague, Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise, employing formulas to recreate the quantitative game mechanics. "We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity of D&D. Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon," a garage adorned with black and grey sheets mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes See GAMERS, page 4 �Time to Vote Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Natalie Barham Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Kevin Brabec Lydia Crescioni Brett Davis Chelsea George Nicole Sullivan Jennifer Jones Eric Merc ado Roger Naranjo Kyle Otto David Werth Laura Whitaker Karen Graham Ashley Renzy Jason Robbins Eileen Roque Loriann Samano Joshua Sandoval Allison Sansbury Kim Schlatter Zelynda Smith John Stuart Mark Ferrera Michelle Velarde Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley D esigni Photo Editor Doug Lasater News Editor Tom Pilngsten Features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Melissa Rodriguez Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Qulnones Online Editor Kimberiy Oliver Distribution Adrian Cundiff Adviser Jenifer Woodring By ERIC MERCADO Pride StaffWriter SWIM The ASI election polls will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, March 22 and will close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 25.

Four of seven planned CSSA/CSSC presenters were afforded voice before the board, including Tylor Middlestadt of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (SLO), Daniel Scheppler of Cal State Fullerton, Roper, and Pablo Pastor of Cal Poly, SLO. Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years. The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in 2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February 2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong sustainability policy" in 2003. Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees. In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report, Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including: No commitment to any specific percent of renewable energy to be used in the future. No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability standards. In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including: Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024. Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC). Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024. Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct, operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according to CSSC figures. Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said. Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts - what better time for students to be active and try to save us money?" hour c all ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W l M • . -> AT * from page 1 INSTRUCTORS!!! i $10,tì^$16.0®Ìper students simply ne6d to use their smart W^b authorization c ^ e to access the vote online.

"I think that is because ASI has always been aware that to meet their needs, they needed to have a daycare center," Barker said. "Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools have daycare," Barker added, "This is because those schools have ASI members who are in tune with the importance of meeting basic needs for their students." Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up their education due to the lack of daycare. One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that she only has four classes left, which makes next semester her last. If ASI decides to close down the ELC she will have to quit before her last semester. "There is no other childcare that I trust," Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after coming this far? To give up a career that will provide a good future for my child." Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost of items budget. "I noticed that only two items have gone up (in price), since 1998, while all other items have gone down," Christine said. Folk explained that the problem is not that prices per item are going up, but rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has already been made and that with all of the cuts, including cutting all food costs for the ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000. ASI is currently working to get grants to build a new early learning center that would be affiliated with the College of Education. Which, Poggi says would still not be able to open until at least 2007. To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi explained that they seemed interested and that they were scheduled to tour ELC later that day to talk in more detail about taking over the preschool. Questions were brought up as to whether or not the ELC would keep their staff, and if the program would stay the same or change. Poggi said that she would need more information before having the answers to those questions. Before voting unanimously to table the issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board members promised the parents another chance to have a meeting solely on the sub- ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk explained that this date will be discussed by ASI and will be available 72 hours before the scheduled meeting. The Early Learning Center is one of the few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM. According to a handout supplied by ASI, the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per day for full-time care and $16 per day for part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time care and $20 per day for part-time care. If ELC is closed the nearest childcare facility is Discovery Isle, which is located behind Ralph's shopping center across from campus. A representative from Discovery Isle said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

GAMERS such as fighters and magic users, to be cast into an established environment, conquering foes in order to complete quests. Michael Nguyen, computer science major, and Chris Miranda, biochemistry major, play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, in which they travel from their home village, which they named "CSUSM," to a multitude of others, protecting them from "The Mist," which mysteriously threatens them. Nguyen plays in some online groups and with Lounge Krew members regularly. "I notice if I don't play games, I kind of do badly in school, with nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen said. A small society of sorts, LK is a group of about 50 friends, each bearing a "Krew name," such as "Profe," Erik Sager, psychology sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and Dr. K. One member, "Beau," freestyle raps a routine incorporating all 54 "official" LK names, representing on karaoke days featured in the lounge, provided by ASI. On a near-daily basis, one of the Krew brings in a game system of some kind, such as the Playstation 2, Gamecube, or X-Box. The Lounge Krew said they no longer take advantage of the outdated arcades in the lounge, as one LK member, who preferred to remain anonymous, asked, "Why? We've got the games that we wish they had, that we want to play. If they had the right video games, they'd make money." LKisoutsiderinclusive,however communal their membership may be.

Live-action mayhem This kind of activity resembles a variation of the role-piaying subculture, known as "liveaction" role-playing in which players physically interact with one another as their characters.

Well, ESPN had the vision. ESPN annually broadcasts the world series of poker which showed last years champion winning a pot of over $2.5 million. TV stations take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards and by having commentators call the play by play on the action. Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Coolio, and eventual champion Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant was playing for charity which resulted in winners taking home a share of the $250,000 pot. To capitalize on the recent craze of poker, Bravo will host another celebrity hold'em tourney later in the year. Anyone, even celebrities, can learn to play poker well. What most people do not realize is that poker is actually a game of skill and not just complete luck. Professional poker players have cashed in on their success by writing books such as "The Theory of Poker" and "Super System." Those books can give some insight on what to do in certain situations of poker games, rather than just going with gut feelings. The interest in poker on TV is questionable to many people because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or playing poker is more like reality TV than "survivor" or "the real world." The human element is an enjoyable part of the game. In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and hope; all of which are a huge part of everyday life. Every poker player experiences those words while playing poker and it is quite exciting to see what happens next. So, if you are just looking for something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make some extra money just shuffle up and deal.

Programs like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend on that money to keep running. With the lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their $1.2 million budget. Even after ASI's board members made cuts, their budget was still over by $350,000. Their solution: cut funding to the Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55 families send their children every week. At the ELC young children, ages two to six, learn the values of love, compassion, and etiquette. The Early Learning Center is cheaper than most preschools, and more flexible with schedules. The ELC also provides opportunities for education students with valuable work experience. Students and teachers both depend on the Early Learning Center. And the ELC depends on Cal State students to help them with funding. Of the $324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next year, students would pay about $106,374. the 54 per semester That equals out to about 6.4 percent of their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per semester. To keep the ELC alive next semester it would take another $3.75 a semester per student. That's a cheap price to help raise more than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing the options setting our priorities, and making decisions. ASI makes those decisions. Losing the ELC should not be an option. The issue of the ELC is a mirror of what's happening in the Cal State system. the shutdown of Educational Opportunity Programs. ASI vehemently protested against this. Now it's their turn. With the vitality of the Early Learning Center in their hold, will they follow the governor and just cut it, or will they accept their responsibility to provide for their students? ASI needs tofinda way to keep the Early Learning Center alive. Hold a special election for a $4 fee referendum. Rom the pump, or from the utter? By JASON ROBBINS Pride StaffWriter For $2.17 per gallon you should be able to swim in the gasoline before it spews into your pollution-monster on wheels. Butterfly stroke or no, that painful number represents the average price of gas in North County as reported by the North County Times. An initial reaction to this situation may be to wonder why prices are so high. Through a calm investigation of the Internet, I uncovered three possible factors: A rising cost of crude oil, uncertainty about crises in the Middle East and Venezuela, and the fact that an unusual amount of oil B EER N UTS refineries have been shutdown for repair. Sounds good to me. But unfortunately, it probably doesn't matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds; for we just have to keep on pumping. Right? So instead of grieving over high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I want to determine which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. Both goods are primarily sold by the gallon, and lately, both hover around the same price. But which one prevails in a cost/benefit analysis? Let'sfindout. A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for an average price of $2.17. Now let's select an average car to fuel up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is suitable. Honda reports that this model gets 38 miles per gallon. A pride Photo Illustration by Jon Rodley¡The Pride Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient. simple mathematical computation reveals that for every $2.17 we spend on gas, we get to travel 38 miles. Not bad.4 A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about $3.50. The label on back of a one-gallon milk container (one percent milk) reveals that there are 120 calories in each serving. Since a gallon-sized container contains 16 servings, drinking a gallon of this type of milk would dump a total of 1920 calories into your body. Now let's select an average person to fuel up with milk. According to an online Activity Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound person running 6 MPH (10 minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon of milk (1920 calories) would enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and % hours. During this amount of time, our average person (running 6MPH) would travel 16 miles. These calculations mean that for every $3.50 we spend on a gallon of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out of our hypothetical person. Luckily we do not need to perform any more mathematical computations to conclude which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. A gallon of gasoline is cheaper than milk and it enables us to travel further. I suggest reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results decree that gasoline deserves our unconditional support. It is so affirmed. By: Chad TWO SAM MARCOS LOCATIONS CLOSE TO CAMPUS! fcfe—_ 1 Sim» 985 "A V» ¥ 304 W. Mission Rd.

Expires 03/3 !/04á ao n �By MIKE DOLAN Pride Ombudsman Last Wednesday, the staff of The Pride came out to Founders Plaza in an effort to bring the paper to the students and to recruit for the Pride Literary Supplement The overall consensus of the affair was positive; many students demonstrated genuine interest in The Pride and die Pride Literary Supplement, where students can get their artwork published for free. However* a student refused a copy of the paper based on the observation, in her own words, that Hie Pride is "too slanted/' This made me think. If the definition of the word "slanted" is intending to affiliate us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is not "slanted/* I feel we could remove any doubt by engaging in a more in depth reporting style. For example, if we are reporting a storywith any political overtones, then the reporter must interview both sides of the issue: a simple task considering such groups as the Progressive Activist Network and the College Republicans are both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most political issues. Something as simple as that would balance any perceived slant in our political coverage. There is, however, another component here that may be mis- interpreted by some. That is the as journalists.

I've been waiting very patiently the past few weeks to see the information posted and cannot believe that the information is not posted yet. Granted that there isn't any opposition for the board positions, but don't you think it is adding insult to injury by not having the information up at this point? I would really appreciate it if you could get that information up ASAP. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise. Also, I'd like to address the reason why this week's issue of The Pride did not contain the candidate's campaign statements. Again, adding insult to injury, it merely contains an article that talks about the elections being uncontested. This surely will only exacerbate the likelihood of a low voter turnout. I apologize if I seem a little harsh here. But I surely don't think I'm out of line in bringing this issues to light. ASI still needs to at least run this election and get all the information out to the students. I hope that we can at least reach out to as many students as possible in the coming week. Please let me know when and if you'll be doing anything further, as I hope that the elections committee will take some initiative. cans only send three of ours to mourn with them.

Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on through the various levels of the stage. There are flying people being lowered down from the sky, others popping up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head. The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration of the simultaneous claps of the crowd. The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4. The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest where an extraordinary world exists. A world called Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever" and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai. The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out, including a cave man character that is always trying to invent things. Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures. The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider A crobats f rom all o ver t he w orld a maze a udiences w ith t heir g race a nd a gility.

He is lifted into the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in mid-air with the net as his partner. There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles which will not let them be together. The next several acts that follow are both amazing and unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic make-up detail. Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal- ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different sized items at a time. The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the most capable contortionist in the show. The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body. Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper fly down throughout the entire audience.

Only one candidate is running for each position in this election« Campaign advertising Erin Dalman, corporate secretary and VP of communication for ASI, organized advertisements through The Pride, bulletin boards on campus, In-the-Loop and on the dougar Channel, making it aware to students that ASI elections were in the not so distant future. According to Crystal Folk, vice president of finance, ASI spent a rough estimate of about $100 toward advertisement in The Pride, flyers, and posters through Student Residential Life. . ' Information, advertising and all forms were made . available approximately three weeks prior to candidates turning in applications. Applications were due to ASI by March 2, by 5 pint The next day the applications were reviewed by the election committee for grade and eligibility requirements* Write-In candidates "People are encouraged to run as write-in candidates," Dalman said. She said that it is unfortunate only one student is running for each position and that this is an opportunity for students to have not only a choice, but also a voice. A write-in candidate is any student that does not turn in an ASI application, but chooses to campaign for a position, and then has voters manually type in their name on the ballot. The option of being a write-in candidate is not advertised on any of ASI's posters or flyers. However, Dalman explained that information will be posted In-The-Loop, The Cougar Channel and in students clubs, soon. See ELECTION, page 2 CSUSM's Student Health Services is currently in a tug-of-war with rising health care costs and a limited budget. This predicament leaves SHS no choice but to turn the student population for more funding. However, the student body has the right to vote for or against the increased funding, so knowing your money's potential may help you decide which way you will vote. In a recent interview, director of Student Health Services Dr. Karen Nicholson addressed what each part of the budget is paying for and why the assistance is so imperative. "(The budget) consists of two pots," she said. "The allowed state budget pays for my salary and a small part of operations. Everything else, (such as) services, pharmaceuticals...is paid by student fees." The reason SHS is requesting fee increases is that student enrollment is See FEE INCREASE, page 3 Budget cuts to hit College of Education part 2 of 2 By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter In lieu of developing budget concerns, CSUSM college of education officials recently extended a message of hope to students, that their interests are of the highest priority in recent and upcoming talks regarding departmental funding cuts.

As explained in part 1 of this story, instructors will be taking reductions in travel allocations, and will be diminishing more resilient programs, in an effort to protect fee increases and the instructional quality available to students. Additionally, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," said Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education. See BUDGET CUTS, page 3 Dean Lilly Resigns By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Steve Lilly announced last week that he will be stepping down as dean of the College of Education. Lilly has served at CSUSM for fourteen years after being hired in 1990 as the founding dean of the college of education. Following closely on the heels of the Karen Haynes' appointment as the new president of CSUSM, this change in leadership has again made headlines as school district administrators across San Diego County struggle to make sense of the drastic changes under way in California's educational system. Officials at CSUSM have decided to appoint Mark Baldwin as interim dean. A professor at CSUSM since 1995, Baldwin will serve for a year beginning on July 1, when Lilly's resignation takes effect.

"We want people to be aware that suicide exists, and that we should be more open about suicide, instead of pushing it aside and hiding it," said Chris Sanchez, head of CSUSM's Yellow Ribbon chapter. The Yellow Ribbon program, which now operates on high school and college campuses across the United States, was started by the Emee family, whose son Michael committed suicide. At CSUSM, the club hopes to raise awareness by sponsoring campus events with speakers, Sanchez said. They also hope to purchase a banner soon, since many students are still unaware of the club's existence. The Cold Stone fundraiser was designed to aid a tight budget, while allowing Yellow Ribbon volunteers the chance to work "behind the stone." "It's a lot of fun," said volunteer Tanja Schroeder, working alongside Sanchez and Lindsay Hilz. "I've only been here for half an hour and I've already been making cones and s tuff... And the ones that I burn, Lindsay and I eat them."

Bennett recently revealed a document previously kept in confidence to evade outside politicking that might corrupt good decision making. The text primarily outlined two principles unanimously agreed upon at a December 15 University Planning The latter of these two concessions provides for new programs and expansion of current offerings, in order to meet the needs of the community, according to Bennett's delineation. Bennett emphasized that, despite budget bickering, "There's still a central focus on preserving what's best for students. I 'm really happy to see that, because that's not always the way things run — because the students are not always at the table. Everybody's here for the right reason. The students' best interests are really at the table." He furthermore conveyed, "I can't think of anybody at any of the meetings that I've been to that stood in any opposition at all. If they're here I hope that they go. "It's very heartening to hear the way things are going, even in bad times," Bennett added. Lilly seconded this notion, saying that, "The good times always end and the bad times always end, and probably the most important thing is to keep our morale up at all times, keeping our focus. I 'm confident that this school cares about the students and both quality and access of instruction for students the most." Bennett voiced his own encouragement regarding his role as an educator, saying, "I know that I can have a real impact as a teacher. Because of your position on campus, you can have a real impact on the community." FEE INCREASE f rom page 1 Council meeting last year. The two priorities highlighted "ideals that were really held onto firmly as ideals that need to be put above all others," according to Bennett, and were recommended to the University Budget Committee: 1. "The highest campus priority is to provide quality instructional experiences that allow students to proceed at their preferred pace towards degree completion. This priority means providing enough in-class sections and other instructional offerings to meet student needs." 2. "Implement the Academic Blueprint at least in part through the establishment of creative partnerships to provide external and community support." In addition, SHS would also be able to offer dental and optometry screenings, but not treatment. Improvements would also be made in orthopedic services and disease prevention. Any excess in collected funds would also go toward current employees' benefits plan. SHS has devised other strategies for raising money other than targeting students, Nicholson said. "We are in the process of obtaining (a state funded program) called Family Pack." The program would offer STD screening and family planning programs. "This wouldn't just be for women, but for men as well," she said. The vote on the proposed Health Services fee increase will take place March 22-25. SHS sympathizes with the value of student dollars, especially with the recent increase in tuition, prompting their decision to let students decide with a vote whether to pay an increased health services fee. from page 1 dwindling. While CSUSM estimated the number of full-time enrollment (FTE) to be 6,643 in fall of 2004, the actual FTE was only 5,804. This leaves the student health department short $29,365, with students paying $35 per semester. To appropriate the shortage, SHS has requested students to vote on increasing the health fee from $35 to $50 starting next semester. "The funds would first stabilize what we are already doing," Dr. Nicholson said. "Then we would be able to offer an increase in our hours of operations for our psychiatry department," which she said was in high demand. Nicholson continued, "We would also be able to offer pharmacy hours during the same time (as the clinic)."

I agree that there are limitless possibilities to explore; I just want feedback letting me know we are moving in the right directions. However, this is where the readers must get involved. I would like to see Thé Pride in the hands of more students and faculty for reasons of actual interest and not just for criticism. But, I also need to know what we are missing in order to suggest to the editorial staff how we can improve. So, I ask you, the readers of The Pride, what do you want to know? What are our stories missing or not covering in enough depth? These are important questions that I hope will spark thoughtful responses. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu. Thank you to all who contacted me this week with thoughtful insights and comments. Last week was a good week for reader comments on The Pride. I received a lot of positive feedback regarding the special travel issue. One person commented to me that this edition of The Pride marked the first time that she had read an entire issue from front to back without skipping any story. I felt reluctantly pleased by the statement and, of course, encouraged her to read more of The Pride on other weeks as well. A more specific idea that I got from my friend above was that she was interested in the content of this special issue. Indeed, that is something I want to explore in more detail; _ •V I am always curious as to what our Corrections for VOL. XI No. 21 readers want to read in The Pride.

(ASI) is getting ready to hold their annual election for student government officers for the next school year. To advertise the need for candidates for the election, ASI printed up flyers and posters with the slogan, "Go For It." The result of this highly motivating slogan is an election where not one of the candidate positions is being contested. "We tried to encourage students. It's unfortunate that the student body doesn't care," said Erin Dalman, ASI vice president of communication. We do not agree with Ms. Dalman, we think that people need to be convinced with passion and reason to get involved to do something. Student government was all about free hamburgers and enthralling speeches by Eric Roper to get students riled up about voting for various California propositions. Mr. Roper, where is our hamburger and speech to get us excited about participating in our own campus government? We want to encourage all students at CSUSM to run for student government. In case you have not seen the announcement on ASI's website regarding "write-in" candidates, it is not too late for new candidates to join the race.

First of all, board members get paid. Yes, students are awarded scholarship money for all elected offices. ASI officers receive a minimum scholarship of $7,999 for president, $6,290 for vice presidents and $800 for representatives. Crystal Folk, ASI vice president of finance, explained why ASI did not put the scholarship information on advertising posters, "We didn't want people to do it just for the money." Well we want students to run for the money. We want a student who has lots of ideas, ambition and passion, but just can't seem to spare any time because of his or her part-time job at The Gap. Now he or she has a great opportunity to quit that job and can finally make time to work on making a difference at CSUSM. Associated Students, Inc. offers students a wonderful opportunity to facilitate campus life at CSUSM. You get a chance to coordinate functions, including the annual masquerade ball and schedule famous people to speak on campus, just to name a few. The best incentive for being an elected officer is having an excellent experience to put on your resume. Another great incentive of being an ASI officer is having an office to hang out in on campus. And if you are elected president or vice president, you get your very own personal office on campus. Just image ... No more computer labs. No more using your car as your locker. Not even all your professors have this luxury. Please become a write-in candidate. Do not let these few people get all these benefits without doing some work for it. �Tüesday T March 16,2004 7 V/ a yynrTlT A K I i l T l THE PRIDE 6 Film c lass w orking w ith t he c ommunity In the corner of ARTS 340, the video lab at CSUSM, there's a beaten down blue couch that nobody is sitting in, and a funky painted table stacked with magazines that nobody is reading.

The class is separated into groups and assigned a community partner, who they then collaborate with to develop video projects significant to that community. Kristine Diekman, chair of visual and performing arts, who teaches the class, said that video in the community "makes a nice bridge between San Marcos and the community." While it teaches students about video production, Diekman said, it also benefits "people who need help in some way," and it helps "the community members get something done" that they might not be able to otherwise.

Aside from being involved in the com- ground in video production, is in a group 's Day origins places to celebrate on this side of the * By LORIANN SAMANO Pride Staff Writer In the celebration of St. Patrick's Day, you could go to Zip and Zack's for some green beer, the corn beef and cabbage or just to check out a band. In other parts of the world, however, there are other exciting ways to celebrate St. Patty's day. In Ireland, there is a week long celebration of parades and parties, and one might also expect to experience the excitement in Boston, where many Irish descendants will be drinking it up, and enjoying the city's festivities of decorative floats and other funfilledevents. In honor of St. Patrick, here's something to think about while enjoying a green beer and hanging out with your friends: Why is this the day people wear green and partake in liquid pleasures? St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland and was born in Wales about AD 385. At the age of sixteen, he was captured by marauders who kept him captive. While enslaved, he grew closer to God, and after six years of enslavement, he escaped and years later joined a monastery for a period of twelve years. During his years in the monastery, he decided his calling was to convert the pagans, of Ireland, to Christianity. It was not an easy task since his superiors appointed St. Palladius to Ireland, and two years later Patrick, having adopted this as his Christian name, was appointed as second bishop to Ireland, and St. Palladius was transferred to Scotland. Although Patrick was successful at winning converts, the Celtic druids did not agree with him and locked him up several times. He escaped several times. He traveled throughout Ireland establishing monasteries across the country; as well as schools and churches that would aid in the conversion of the Irish country to Christianity. St. Patrick's mission lasted for thirty years before he retired and then died on March 17 in AD 461. That's the day we all know as St. Patrick's Day and have celebrated ever since. There is also some interesting folk lore to chat about being that St. Patrick was believed to raise the dead, oooh. There is also a rumor that people said he drove all the snakes from Ireland, however, no snakes were ever native to Ireland; snakes might have been spoken of to symbolize the conversions of the pagans to Christianity. There's also the leprechaun; that if one startled him, he would take you to a pot of gold. Then there's the fact that corn beef and cabbage was not a traditional dish in Ireland, but only traditional to the Irish immigrants who came to America and could only afford this type of food, which then became an American Irish dish. And then there's the shamrock. St. Patrick was said to have used this symbol to explain the holy trinity to his followers. He used the three-leafed shamrock in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. This is when his followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day. St. Patrick's Day became a custom in America in 1737, in Boston, which was the first year that St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country. If you're looking forward to celebrating St. Patty's Day, you might try North County where you could stop by The Blvd, in San Marcos to check out the bands the Plug Uglys and Scotch Green for five bucks. There's also Tom Giblins, a traditional Irish pub, in Carlsbad, for some entertainment. Maybe you live near the Belly up, in Solana Beach, where they're having a St. Patty's Day party with the band Skelpin, playing traditional Celtic music. Or, you could journey down town, where there will be a celebration in the Gaslamp quarter with a musical block party from 5 p.m. until midnight with fifteen of your favorite bars and restaurants. �A&E THE PRIDE A y—I Tuesday March 16, 2004 Qwrìcorn CancW MMvAtitlingl the park.

Tomorrow, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. in ARTS 240 students can see a performance of this intriguing show. An original work by internationally acclaimed playwright Eve Ensler, TVM is based on Ensler's interviews with over 200 women who were willing to speak out about their vaginas, sometimes with great emotion and detail. These testimonies range from answers to questions like, "If your vagina could talk, what would it say in two words?" to detailed re-enactments of women's experiences with sexual abuse and torture. The show is always changing as Ensler updates her work every year based on her latest interactions with women. These declarations have grown from a one-woman show, to a globally executed creation, usually performed by three or more women. The V-Day Oceanside Troupe, organized by local resident Cari Bacon, came together to perform the controversially titled play last month at the Star Theatre in Oceanside for the second year in a row. After being invited to see the sold out show, student coordinator for women's studies at CSUSM, Josh Harris, encouraged the ladies to perform their work on the CSUSM campus as part of an extensive series of events in recognition of Women's History Month. This time of the year is particularly significant for performances of TVM because from it has sprung a movement called V-Day that focuses on Photo courtesy of Axe Records ByROGERNARANJO Pride StaffWriter Photo by /Joan Marcus Eve E nsler s peaks t he w ords of t he h undreds o f w omen who have i nspired h er c reation, " The V agina M onologues." raising awareness about violence against women, as well as taking a proactive stand toward eradicating it. V-Day is celebrated on February 14, and most performances of TVM are concentrated around this time however, women who are involved in V-Day are active in their efforts all year long, traveling to places like Juarez, Cairo and Afghanistan in order to help end violence against women and girls everywhere. According to Harris and associate professor of women's studies Linda Pershing, there have been numerous calls from the community in response to the advertisement of TVM in local papers. The public is not only interested in coming to the performance at CSUSM, they are worried about getting tickets. Bacon will be performing along with five or six other women who were also involved in the Oceanside performance of TVM, including CSUSM student Cassandra Collins. Dynamite! Boss sounds of 60's style reggae are exploding in the underground scene once again and The Aggrolites are front and center leading the come back under the Axe Records label. Their new CD entitled "Dirty Reggae" encompasses all the elements needed to brew up a solid delivery of this vintage style reggae. The Aggrolites got their name by fusing the names of reggae greats the Aggrovators and the Crystalites. Their sound is influenced by the Hippy Boys, Tower Of Power, The Clash, The Upsetters, War, Bleachers, Pioneers, The Who, The Meters and Jackie Mittoo. The members of this band have played in such bands as the Rhythm Doctors, The Vessels, See Spot, King Apparatus, Dub Street Rockers, Kingston 10, and have opened for reggae legend Prince Buster. The wailing, skanking rhythm guitar of Brian Dixon intertwined with the plucking leads of Jesse Wagner laid over a heavy harmonizing organ give a feel of being in Jamaica. The vocals on this CD laid down by Wagner are scratchy, grinding and reminiscent of the high soulful sound of reggae greats such as Desmond Decker, Laurel Atkins and Drakar from The Adjusters. Thefirstsong on the album, "Hot Spot," starts out with an intricate drum line by Korey Horn accompanied by cowbells. It is an audio assault when the organ, drum and bass bring it on home. J. Bonner, the bass player, plays punchy, pounding bass lines that can be felt in the hip. Wagner's lyrics encompass a combination of updated nursery songs, romantic lyrics, proverbs and street wisdom. "The Stampede," another song on the album, starts out with an announcement that the stampede is coming. This musical number is a well balanced blend of galloping skank, plucking guitar and heavy organ played by Roger Rivas together with an up tempo tight drum and bass, sprinkled with an in your face trombone section. "This aint no disco doing the funk, this aint no hip hop shake your rump," are the lyrics in another track sure to make you want to cut the rug, titled "Pop the Trunk." "We were trying to come up with song ideas and Deston Berry (Hepcat) suggested 'pop the trunk' since it's something we always ask our friends to do, so we came up with T op the Trunk,'" Wagner said. This isn't the ordinary overproduced MTV reggae you're used to, this is soul and though it won't make the Billboard's top ten, it is great. You'll need a Cliff bar to groove through this whole CD. If you love reggae, ska, or rock steady then this is truly an album your collection shouldn't be without. You can pick this album up at www.theaggrolites.com or at www.axerecords.com also at Lou's Records and other great music shops. Enjoy.

Photos by Sarah Carlin, Tor Freed & Elizabeth Bal<dwin/77ze Pride Pack right before you leave home ByCHADSHNKS £ride StaffWriter * - Whether you're planning to go back home to see the family, or planning to go to Beirut for the international marble players competition for spring break, chances are you need to pack. Don't worry, because packing for a trip is as fun as a toaster in the bath. Wait a minute, that's not fun—who am I kidding—packing sucks. But still, you need to be prepared. Let's go over some tricks of the trade. I heard that some of these tips have been passed down from ancient boy scout lore. But who cares, I never wanted to be a boy scout anyway. First o ff, bring a toothbrush. If you bring nothing but the clothes on your back and a toothbrush, you should be okay. When traveling, it's hard to receive help from someone if you are in their face with rotten breath, asking them where the nearest Motel 6 is. Along with a toothbrush, bring a razor If you like to pack heavier, however, you will need a bag. Anything with wheels is a plus. If traveling through airports, it's a must. If using a duffle bag, you can use duct tape to attach a skateboard to the bottom of the bag. It makes walking through the airport easier. You can attach a rope to the handle and pull it, or you can ride your bag like a sled (be careful of running in to the ankles of elderly people. This will often create an unwanted dramatic scene.) If you don't have a skateboard, it should be easy to acquire from a little brother or a friend's sibling. Maximizing space in your bag is a helpful practice. Rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a great way to save room and minimize wrinkles. Black colored shirts and pants go a long way on trips. You can get away with wearing a dirty black shirt for a couple days with no one noticing. White clothing will instantly become a magnet for coffee, See PACKING TIPS, page 2 �MY JOURNEY TO ISRAEL Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley News Editor Tom Pfingsten features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Natalie Barham ChadSpinks Danielle Boldt Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Quinones CÌi0W Editor Kimberly Oliver Distribution Adrian Cméìff .;,.....

Michelle Velarde Photos by Tor Freed/The Pride ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter In a post 9-11 world, travel to the Middle East is not the way most Americans want to spend their vacation. Mention Israel and images of burned out buses, bombed restaurants and Merkava tanks rolling through the West Bank permeate our minds, it is a wonder anyone would go at all. It is a shame because, Israel, a country smaller than New Jersey, has more to see and do than most European destinations. Jerusalem is a great starting point and aside from how utterly beautiful it is one of its striking features is that every building is made of stone. In ancient times, it was believed Jerusalem was in heaven because it was always in the clouds and the long, steep ride from Tel-Aviv helps one tp understand this. Standing I n the old city, the view in any direction is breathtaking. Valleys and hills abound with neighborhoods and forests and it does not take too much to imagine you are back i n biblical times. Jerusalem has so much history and religious significance, it can be almost overwhelming. To avoid this, simply get lost in the old city and wander through the Armenian, Arab, Christian, and Jewish quarters. Take in the smell of aromatic spices and strong Turkish coffee that can be found everywhere. At some point, you will want to see the Wailing Wall, Judaism's third holiest site. It was the retaining wall to the second temple before the Romans burnt it down in A.D. 70. It is fascinating because on top of it lies the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqusa; Mosque, Islam's third holiest site. The Holy Church of the Sepulcher is right down the road; it was built at the spot where Jesus was nailed to the cross. The Brave traveler can also venture out to Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust museum that is enormous and at times difficult. It's also where all visiting heads of state are brought. Tel-Aviv is completely different from Jerusalem. In this hundred-year-old city, you will feel like you are in Miami. There are modern high rises, fancy restaurants and very chic young people talking on cell phones wherever they go. There is a very long promenade on the beach where TelAviv sits and it is lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs where if you do not look good enough, you do not get in. Jerusalem feels like history and religion, Tel-Aviv screams party, which they do until seven in the a.m. There are tons of art galleries and historical museums. It's a fast paced town and the best way to see it is to just wander around and get lost. After all the history, museums and ancient ruins, it's time to just relax and head out to the port city o f Eilat. Only five miles wide, it sits in the red sea between Egypt and Jordan. Eliat is about beach bars and Vegas style hotels. The desert is right at its doorstep and riding a camel can be an interesting if not smelly adventure. Eilat also offers submarine tours and has an interactive dolphin park. The reefs in the Red Sea are some of the best in the world for diving and the water is warm and inviting with lots of tropical fish. Nightlife, it doesn't matter where you go, is cranking. This is a city of guilty pleasures. Israel doesn't require a visa for Americans and if booked in advance, round trip tickets can be around six hundred dollars. It is not the most popular destination but the exchange rate is good and there is a lot to do.

T U IA CHOICE from p a g e 1 TP • ' O F S A N M ARCOS salsa, ketchup, wine and numerous other staining agents once it leaves for vacation. Stick to black or dark clothing whenever possible. If flying, I advise anyone to avoid checking luggage on a flight unless they have to. A good trick to provide more carry-on room is to wear the bulkiest clothes on the plane. You spare valuable baggage room, and if you wear a large jacket with many pockets, you can stuff them with books, CDs, or more clothes. (Warning: you will have to empty out all contents of your pockets at the security checkpoint. Putting underwear i n your pockets might be embarrassing, but if you have an unusually amusing taste in underwear, go for it.) Know your clothes. Bring your most versatile outfits. Pack clothing that you can be comfortable wearing in hot or cold climates. Always check the weather of your destination. This can save a lot of hassle, but as we all know, weather forecasts can be wrong. Bring along at least one pair of clothes that would accommodate weather opposite of what the forecast says. Most importantly, have fun and be safe. --£AN HUP-- N 277 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Sulte S 3 blocks south of 78 -- I MPORTANT !

Unfortunately, that means most people only spend a day there and miss much Of what this exciting island has to offer. Everyone likes a tropical destination and Puerto Rico will not fail in that regard, but it also has a lot of history, a vibrant culture and all the modern amenities that people love. Puerto Rico has lots of mountains iathe center of the Island for hiking, world-class surfing in Rincón and even horseback riding. There are also excellent golf courses for those wanting a more 'Hawaiian' vacation. Whether you want a rugged, adventurous holiday, being a beach bum or clubbing in San Juan, it's all there. San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, is really two parts. The main city has been built up, is very modern and serves as the banking center of the Caribbean. Here you'llfindtrendy cafés, fine restaurants and trend-setting clubs with some of the most beautiful people in the world. It's easy to take it all in, lounging on the beach, and then go clubbing at night. The old city was revamped in the early 90's to retain its traditional Spanish architecture. Here you'll find old buildings in bright colors and cobblestone streets—remnants of Spanish settlers who tried to make it like home. This is the place to be: most of the tourists don't frequent the bars here and you'll run into some really wonderful locals. At the end of the city is Old Fort Morro, a sprawling park that used to house cannons to protect the Island from invasion.

It's not unusual to see roosters roaming about or wild yaks in someone's yard. The people are very laid back and the town is quiet, perfect for some rest and relaxation. Puerto Rico also boasts the highest point in the Caribbean, the Arecibo observatory. It's a bit of a drive to get there but the view is breathtaking and y o u can see much of the Caribbean for miles. While you're there, for those that like hiking there's a really interesting hike down into San Cristobal Canyon. it's literally a chasm in the middle of the Island that you can follow to an old quarry with great swimming. The vegetation is lush, and the waterfall at the end of the quarry is not to be missed, Puerto Rico has a few other interesting attractions as well. The Sea of Mayaguez has phosphorescent water. There are tour boats that go out at night and anything that touches the water sets off a natural light show because of all the algae. It's a f U n ride and unlike anything you'll ever see. The Luquillo beaches, a little east of San Juan, are some of the nicest anywhere. Long strips of clean white sand with public bathrooms and cafeterias make it very popular, since Puerto Rico is under the jurisdiction of the U.S., travel i s easy and the currency is the U.S. dollar. You'll find everything inviting: the culture, the people and the food are all top-notch. OMBUDSMAN'S i i f e S S ^ P P i ^ ^ I ff?

The cheap answer is at the same tiijje the most honest: "I can't." In a quaint college town in the south of Germany was where I lived for an entire year. A s sleepy as the town felt most of the time, never have I felt as awake as I did living my life somewhere completely different to what I had known up to that point in my life. I could write about the endless churches and castles I saw during those twelve months, but the memory of the grocery store is what permeates most strongly. I can smell the fresh baked pretzels and the cheese. I remember my walk through the snow, down the bike path, past the yellow phone booth and the geese that would honk at passers by. The grocery store closest to my east-German-esque style living situation was the HL-Markt. This grocery store was unlike any major American grocery store; not SlB OUBlSCtt? only was hot, spicy food sometimes difficult to find, only: three check-out stands and a myriad of sausages, but a number of other things I had to become accustomed to. Take for. instance, when in the German grocery store, or farmer's market, one must not touch, feel or squeeze to test the ripeness of any fruit or vegetable. I found this out the hard way one morning while examining avocados at the market. "Was machen Sie!?!" said an older German frau. I was confused, dropped the avocado in the bin, and walked away a bit perplexed. Germans have a very stern language at times, and the approximate English translation of my encounter would be, "What the hell are you doing!?!" My grandmother, who is originally from Berlin, and currently lives in the Los Angeles area, just as she has for the past forty years, explained to me when she came to visit that Germans do not feel fruits or vegetables at the grocery store. She also explained to me that this was a benefit as she sees it to living in America: testing your produce prior to purchase. Another thing I could never get used to was the idea of standing in line at the store. There is no personal bubble, that space you own wherever you go, like there is here in America, that everyone else is keenly aware of. People breathe on you in line. You feel every exhale of the guy standing behind you on the back of your neck. After much aggravation I adapted. I couldn't change the people standing in the line, but I could change the way I was standing in line. I began placing the basket on the floor between my legs and standing over it sideways. I was happy not to be breathed on, and no one really noticed my change in position. Here, in America at the major market chains, consumers choose from ten different checkout stands at any given time, whether it's 4 a.m. or 12 p.m. If the line is three or more people long a new check stand opens and customers will ask the person next in line to go ahead. It took me a long time to get used to the German system of check stand lines. There was never, in my experience, a time when I was asked to go ahead because I would be the next person to be checked out. Instead, whoever could run, push or shove his or her way through the quickest was the winner. Photo by Sarah Carün/The Pride Cafe's line up the sidewalks in Germany. It took a very long time to get used to this. I thought everyone was just rude. I should have caught on sooner, but didn't really feel comfortable with the idea of bulldozing through shopping carts and baskets just to pay for my items first. A s time passed, after spending too much time in line, there was the revelation that I had been living in the country long enough that I should really attempt to fit in better. On one particular frosty December morning, the line was at least ten people long and there was only one check-out stand open. I saw from the corner of my eye a teenager, Fanta and chocolate in hand, waiting on the side for the new check-out stand to open. I slyly left the second to last spot in line and pretended to examine the chocolates. I watched the woman from the corner o f my eye take her seat at her cash register, and then swooped in with my basket of goods. I felt a little- guilty, like cutting in a line of cars by using the freeway shoulder—not that I would ever do that. I looked around as I placed my items on the conveyor belt to see the faces of my fellow shoppers, but there weren't any angry expressions on the faces of anyone in line. I had successfully made them think I was German. After this turning point, living in my cute college town was different. Instead of pin-pointing all of the similarities, or the differences between Tubingen and my hometown, I started living where I was, and stopped living somewhere in between the two. The shock & awe of a Spanish Bullfight By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter The best part about traveling is the unexpected events that happen to you. I like to refer to these as "blessings in disguise" because these are the moments that will stay with you forever. On my way to Barcelona, Spain I got stuck in Seville. Getting stuck was really me not knowing I had to book a reservation and then finding out the trains were all filled up for the next three days. Seville is one of the best places I found in Europe. The people are extremely warm and friendly; the weather is a perfect 75 degrees; and the streets are clean and safe for walking around at all hours. On one of my walks around the city I came across an advertisement for a bullfight that would be taking place that day. I thought this would be a great opportunity for some cheap entertainment. Well it was definitely cheap, but way beyond entertaining. I had never been to a bullfight before and was so excited to see what one actually is like. m I found out quite soon that yes, the matadors do dress in the traditional costume that is depicted in movies. But one new detail that struck me in the heart was that the bulls are stabbed in the back before they even enter the ring. And to make the fight even less fair; there are about 4 -6 "helpers" out in the ring protecting the matador from the bull. A s I watched the battle from my ringside seat, I was shocked and amazed at the brutality of this popular Spanish sport. After the matador stabs the bull so much that the animal can barely move, he then makes a sort of flourish movement with his arm and finishes the bull o ff by sticking a sword Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/77ie Pride A bull gets led away f rom t he ring a fter being stabbed between the eyes by a victorious matador. the bull's eyes. At this point the whole stadium stands up cheering.. .for what I'm not sure. The "unforgettable" moment that I experienced at this event was when the fifth bull came out and during the socalled "battle", the bull skewered the matador with his horns. This was the most surreal image I have ever witnessed. I saw the bull literally stick his horns into the matador's right thigh and lower stomach...then lift the man entirely o ff the ground. I am not sure I can say that the bull won this fight...as soon as the man was taken away about six men came out and killed the bull. This seems very unfair to the bull. It was rough to watch a man get hurt, but it just seems so wrong to kill the bull if he wins the fight. I tried to find out the next day if the matador had died, but all the newspapers were in Spanish. I do not think I will ever go see another bullfight, but I will never forget the one that I saw. THF, PDTIÌF rKILIE Weputoutevery ��THE PRIDE SPECIAL EDITION What is it like to be an international student at CSUSM? Yoko Suzuki and Emily Ng explain what it is like to be a student so farfrom home By JASON ROBBINS Pride Staff Writer By CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Being far from home is quite an experience. Being far from home in another country and not speaking the language can be terrifying. Yoko Suzuki is a 23-year-old senior from Kanagawa, Japan. She started her college career three and a half years ago at San Diego State University's English program. This program was for new students in the United States who needed to learn English quickly in order to begin college. Moving to a new country for school is a very adventurous thing to do. She felt only excitement when she got here. Living in San Marcos, she started at Palomar College getting her general education requirements out of the way. At that time she didn't have a motorized form of transportation, so she bought a bicycle and got around on it instead. Suzuki says that her bike became her best friend for the next year and a half as she rode it everywhere. After completing her general education requirements at Palomar. College she transferred to Cal State San Marcos. Her major is Sociology and she plans on using her degree to help children in need alt around the world. She aspires to work for organizations like UNICEF that help children. Suzuki believes -that because children are the future of the world, they must be cared for and provided with the same kind of education that she feels, so fortunate to have. Yoko appreciates her sociology professors because they have been so kind to her. They never have any quams about staying after class to help her or making extra time for her, she says. That type of concern and care is what she wants to share with others after college. And given the right opportunities, she will. It's not easy being away from her family, who own a sushi restaurant in Japan called Shige Zushi. Shige is her dad's first name and Zushi means sushi. It's a family-run business that her mom, dad, and grandfather work at . Suzuki's older sister is also away from Japan, working as a hairdresser in Sydney, Australia. Yoko had the opprtunity to spend last New Years with her in Australia. They had a wonderful time enjoying the ceremonies andfireworkstogether, she says. For Yoko, the experience of a college education in a far away land made her see how precious her life in Japan really was. She is able to look at her country from the outside in and see the good and the bad that Japan has to offer. When, asked what she thought about being away from her country she answered, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone." • How many ocean waves do you think break between Hong Kong and North America in a day? My estimate is about nine million; plus or minus ten million. While nine million is plenty, do these waves alone serve to propel dreams across the Pacific Ocean? Or does it take something else? In some cases all it takes is a degree from a California university and a messy serving of the English language. These are the incentives that guided the 21 year old, international student, Emily Ng to CSUSM. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily left her homeland to finish high school in Canada. Upon graduation, Ng then left Canada for a college she had heard about during a college fair. This college was Cal State University San Marcos. "English is an international language," said Ng in explaining why she chose to attend an American school. Acting congruent with her reasoning; she selected Global Business Management as her major. As her travels and studies reveal, Ng is a truly international student. When Ng is able to ignore the wailing pleas of her text books, she enjoys partying, dancing, and time with her friends. While a lack of confidence once inhibited her personality, Ng says she has established friendly relationships through the International Club. Despite the radness of San Marcos and the new Starbucks in the library, Emily and her friends prefer downtown San Diego for social activities. In comparing San Marcos to her birthplace, Ng said "Hong Kong is more fun." There is no doubt. Sometimes it is difficult to have fun inside the classroom too. Emily understands most simple English words but has trouble with the more complex ones. Fortunately professors have acknowledged her limited English in a positive manner. She says that instructors have exhibited patience and effort in dealing with her situation. When it comes to the more concrete components of our campus, Ng has mixed feelings. "I expected a bigger school." This international student, who essentially traveled thousands of miles to learn English and attend college, had no clue as to how small the CSUSM campus was. She said she expected the community to be more populated and for there to be more sports teams. It is indeed hard to recognize our campus as small without the aid of blue prints or a visit. But it is easy to imagine some of the lumbering difficulties that may subdue even the most spirited of international students. Ms. Ng includes the language barrier, financial issues, and self-reliance on her list. She has a part time job on campus to help nurture her finances and must rely on herself for every other challenge. Yet it is clear that being^away from home has its benefits. "I enjoy being alone sometimes." Ng said there was too much pressure at home. This comes from a working student from Hong Kong up against a language barrier and the doldrums of San Marcos. ' For Emily Ng, waves were not what propelled her dreams across the vast Pacific. It was not several soulenriching, will extracting, ocean sunsets that forced her to reach past the horizon. It was education and English. And it was the resolve to be truly international. Emily's best experience at CSUSM: "Meeting new people." TUesday, March 9,2004 5 Lit S tudies g ets an I nternational p rospective f rom Professor Moukhlis ByTOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Salah Moukhlis is clicking through a photo album on his computer of pictures he took the last time he went home to Morocco. Little black-haired nephews, dusty roads and colorful marketplaces fill the screen. "By the way," he says, pausing on a photo of an ornate brick building, "that's the oldest university in the world." The irony is not lost on Moukhlis, whose education has taken him from Morocco to England and Long Island. He teaches literary theory at CSUSM—one of the youngest universities in the world—while in Fes, Morocco, his counterparts have been instructing students since A.D. 859. During his time as an undergraduate in Morocco— and then during later work on his M. Lit in Victorian Studies in England—Moukhlis focused exclusively on British literature. But after having a drink with a colleague in Morocco, where he taught college classes for 12 years, Moukhlis decided that he needed to study literature from "The Maghreb." After awakening to the world of African writing, Moukhlis says he remembers thinking, "Hey, I want to read something about myself, about my people." With that in mind, he began working on his PhD in Comparative Studies at Stony Brook University in New York, with a focus on the Maghreb, "Maghreb" is the Arabic word for "west," but serves as the name for the country of Morocco, situated on the north-west corner of Africa. Maghreb literature, written mostly in Arabic, has been heavily influenced by the years that Morocco spent as a French Protectorate (1912-1956). The diversity Moukhlis has experienced in his education makes for an interesting take on literature: British traditionalism with an African postcolonial twist. While Moukhlis has studied British literature extensively, he makes no apologies for European colonialists. "It's good to see things in perspective," he says. "They literally carved Africa." Moukhlis also notes that British colonial texts played a large part in sparking his interest in Maghreb literature, much of which exists as an answer to colonialism. "When you read what these people have to say about you, all of a sudden you're not a neutral reader," he says. Speaking with an accent that is neither wholly French nor wholly Moroccan, Moukhlis explains that English is his fourth language, preceded by Arabic, French and Moroccan Arabic, a barely-distinguishable Arabic dialect. He is known by his students for that accent, as well as for his quirky style of teaching and his former "addiction" to breath mints. They also know him for his unusual passion for subjects widely regarded as dry and difficult to teach. It's not rare to find Moukhlis energetically teaching the details of Russian Formalism or New Historicism, .pacing the classroom with his coffee cup in hand and drawing pictures on the blackboard. How does he explain his excitement? Turning back to his computer, Moukhlis admits with a guilty smile, "I just love literary theory." �H2LIDAY F2fc HUmMITY If vacationing at the beach isn'tfor you, try one of these alternative breaks and help others at the same time Photo courtesy of Partick Bonz By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer (from left to right) Melissa Holliday, Brian Reed, and Brock Winstead, students from NC State, work on the roof of a Habitat house. If you are strapped for cash and cannot afford to go to your regular hot spots such as Cancun, Hawaii, or Daytona Beach alternative spring breaks may be an interesting option. You will miss the party vibe but the payoff of alternative spring breaks may be rewarding. Alternative Spring break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic of homelessness in this area. Students Photo courtesy of Steffan Hacker Becky Sutter and Jamie Smith work on the framing of the Habitat house. '!'Alternative Spring Break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic homelessness work with organizations such as the YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and other community based organizations. The goal is to educate students and open minds, while giving them handson experiences toward the issues of homelessness. If San Diego is a little too close to home to be spring break worthy, then you might want to head a little north and spend a week in Santa Cruz and • San Francisco. In these cities, alternative spring breaks offer a closer look and understanding of people with disabilities. Join and meet other fellow Cal State students as they learn the rights and laws affecting disabled of populations, mental-physical-cultural awareness, and a survey of different organiza- tions such as people with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. These may not be your typical spring break ideas however, alternative spring breaks offer something more rewarding. They offer an opportunity to help your local community while educating and experiencing critical issues close to home. If you are looking to do something during spring break with a little more substance than cheap drinks and easy hook-ups then alternative spring breaks may leave your heart singing rather than heart broken. For more information on these and other alternative spring breaks go to www.statravel.com. Spring Break rip-offs By EIJKABEra BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter California Student Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) released a report citing that students pay on average 62 percent more for travel. The report found that travel companies included hidden, fees along with deceptive marketing practices in their Spring Break travel packages. "Spring Break is supposed to be a chance for students to relax and recuperate. Instead, travel companies are using it as a chance to fleece students," said Merriah Fairchild, CALPIRG higher education advocate. Students are encouraged to research a travel agency before booking a package deal. Also, beware of any company that requires you to sign a contract waiving or limiting your legal rights to file a dispute or receive a refund.

Expires 03/31/04 �TiavdTips w / C hdseaGeags By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As spring break grows closer many students are getting ready to jet off to exotic locations. But before you pack your bag, here are a few helpful travel tips. Choose your traveling companions wisely. Nothing is worse than taking a trip with someone and hating them at the end of it. Pick people that you know are out to have a good time. If your group is happy and ready to find fun things to do in your new locale, chances are you will be too. Plus, if it's one of those friends that you love to death but who drives you nuts after being around them for a few hours just imagine how you'll feel after a few days. Check the weather and pack for it. You don't want to drag around a bunch if unwanted baggage so pack the essentials and try to leave everything else at home. If you already know most of your itinerary pack by outfit not by piece and try to pick outfits that can go with the same accessories. If you're going somewhere warm, however, you should pack at least one warm outfit because even deserts get cold at night. If you're going somewhere that requires you to be in your bikini or trunks the whole time, work on your tan beforehand to try to prevent burning. You don't want to have to stay in the hotel after the first day because the skin is peeling off your back. Another way t o avoid burning is to pack your sunscreen. One that you might want to try is Bullfrog: it comes as strong as SPF45 and lasts extremely well in water, though it is a little greasy. For those traveling to foreign countries, you can check regional recommendations on vaccinations, food and water-borne illnesses at www.cdc.gov/travel or call toll free 877-FYI-TRIP. It gives you helpful ways to avoid illnesses in any destination. For instance, those of you going to Mexico should bring bottled water even to brush your teeth with and not drink any beverages with ice. Another thing travelers should consider is trip insurance. The best policies cover trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and trip delay, accidental medical expenses, in-hospital indemnity, lost or stolen baggage, rental car collision damage waiver and rental car personal accident insurance. Call your insurance company to verify that you have medical coverage overseas. If you have a AAA membership, you may already be covered. If you're taking a road trip make sure you have a fully-inflated spare tire. Bring a flashlight, a cell phone and your A AA card in case you have any problems and end up on the side of the road somewhere. Try to drive during the day and if you do drive at night avoid truck stops and scary neighborhoods. For all those flying to their vacation spot, you can avoid flight delays by flying in the morning, the later the day goes the more air traffic has built up and don't even attempt to fly on a Friday. Try to get a nonstop flight but if you have to take a lay-over try to avoid airports known for bad weather or traffic. Also, when packing for a plane trip make sure to pack electronics, jewelry, documents, medicine or any necessary valuable items in a carry-on bag. If you're traveling with a friend split your luggage between the two bags so if one is lost you still have some clean clothes to change into. Once you get to your destination you're most likely going to need some cash. There are three options: converting all your cash to foreign currency, using traveler's checks or using credit cards. The problem with carrying your cash around the whole trip is that you probably won't get a very good exchange rate and if something happens to it you're^ stuck. With travelers checks you can cash them out as you need throughout your trip and if they end up lost or stolen you can have them replaced. Meanwhile, no one else can use your traveler's checks because they require matching signatures and a photo ID. When cashing traveler's checks or exchanging your cash for foreign currency, try to go to a bank—they usually give the best exchange rate, so you won't be losing some of your hard earned cash during the exchange. Another way to get a good exchange rate is to use your credit card. If you have a card and plan to pay the balance responsibly, use it when you travel overseas to get you a better exchange rate that you'll get almost anywhere. Credit card companies can get better rates than you can, so if you charge your hotel and restaurant bills instead of converting travelers checks and paying cash, it will end up costing you less. Probably the most important piece of travel advice for everyone is, have fun. After all, that is what vacations are all about. L ETTERS F ROM A BROAD Two csusm students write in from overseas about their experience in the United Kingdom If you had the opportunity to change your life would you take it or let, it pass you by? Imagine travelling the world on your weekends, having friends from all over and gaining the experience of a lifetime! You can have all of this just by studying abroad. My name is Stacy Goldstein and I didn't know why I wanted to study abroad at first, I just knew I had to do it. I had no expectations, just the curiosity- of wondering what it would be like to live and attend a university in the UK. Now, after one semester, I have travelled through most of Europe and have friends in Spain, Finland, France, Germany, and Australia and of course in England. I am also involved in the International Society and play for the University of Central Lancashire's Women's Basketball Team. I liked being here so much that I decided to extend my stay for another semester. It definitely wasn't the cold, "rainy weather that kept me here; instead it was the people, the culture, and the opportunity to gain a new set of eyes that allowed me to see America in another light. Living in another country has helped me gain a better perspective on America and the world. Don't get me wrong, I still love America and I miss the beach and eating carne asada burritos, but overall, studying and living in another country is unlike anything else I've ever experienced, and it's something you would have to try for yourself to fully understand. It's so refreshing to wake up every day and be faced with decisions like: do I want to travel to London or Paris today? It's so easy to travel because the transportation system here is so amazing and it makes me forget all about my car at home. The social life is also thrilling and ongoing, sometimes I find myself going out every night: I mean going t o pubs is a part of the British culture and I'm just doing my part to understand it. The going to school part is also great; I like the fact that you are encouraged to call your professors by their first names, and also that we are not given homework or tests! At the university I'm attending, class only meets once a week and your grades are based on two essays. Sometimes it can be difficult to balance school, clubs, sports, travelling and a social life but then again.. .it's all a part of the experience. All I know is that coming here was the best decision of my life and has changed me forever. So, whatever your reasons are for studying abroad, whether it be to travel, pick up a British accent, meet new people or no reason at all; just stop by Global Affairs and look into it, because it could be the best thing you ever did too! Hiya from Preston, UK I found out why European cars have such heavy frames, 'parking spaces" are half on the curb and half on the street; those cobblestone streets don't help either. I have yet to drive on what us Americans would call the 'wrong' side of the road but would like to try. On the other hand, never have I felt so liberated from my car, or walked so much in my life. It feels great. The streets in town are busy with people, unlike America's deserted main streets. It's pleasant to drop into a pastry shop on your way to class or slip into the small shop tucked away down an alley. I think my friend had the best advice: "Be a sponge and absorb everything around you." I feel invigorated being in a different country and participating in other cultures. It's easy to pick out the Brits standing in a queue (line) for the club, they are the ones without a coat on whether it's freezing or raining. In addition to the British culture, I live with two Polish, one German and another American. It's fun to compare our languages, food and other idiosyncrasies. So . ...everyone was right, the food has something to be desired, but when I get desperate there is always Subway, KFC, or McDonalds. Globalization couldn't be more obvious. Starbucks is also a hot spot but I have yet to find one in my university library. In addition to the few familiar restaurants, the entertainment industry is very alive with American films and music. In other words, it's hard to get homesick. I have to be honest, there are a few things I miss - like regular size kitchen appliances, service at restaurants and toilets that flush. The Brits would say, "Yeah, the toilets are dodgy." I never knew it was a luxury. Since the tip is included on the bill the food servers are very inattentive. If you get their attention you have to be ready to order or else you sit around for another twenty minutes. This is something that I need to adapt to, I am usually eating on the go.. Traveling or 'going on holiday' couldn't be easier here. I have already explored London and ventured to Liverpool (home of the Beatles), Manchester (home of the famous football or soccer team), York (you don't know York, c'mon), Edinburgh, Scotland (to see the castle and men in kilts), Conwy castle in Northern Wales, and this weekend, who knows where the train will drop me. If only the U.S. was smaller, I would ride the train over flying any day. On a more serious note, university, or uni to the locals, is structured a lot differently. It only takes three years to earn a bachelor degree because they don't take any general education courses. Your chosen major is 4 much more indepth study; hence, students are more specialized in their field. One of the most intriguing lessons that I have learned thus far is others perspectives of the United States and 'our land of opportunity.' I never appreciated being an American until others brought it to my attention. Don't miss your chance; travel while you are young and don't have as many responsibilities! Open your mind!

Gibson's movie has a lot of people talking and some controversy surrounding it. CSUSM Junior Erick Pettersen, a member of Priority Christian club said, "I appreciated that while Gibson was modest in his portrayal of the brutality Christ experienced, he also effectively used dramatization to accentuate both the reality and spirituality of Christ's life." The controversy, he said, "is the same old debate that has been going on for the past 2,000 years. The problem is that people are so used to ignoring the truth that when they are slapped upside the head with it they tend to point fingers. The question isn't 'Who Dunnit?' The question is 'Oh my God, what have I done?'" CSUSM Junior Sarah Koefod said, "It was different than what I expected but it was good. For the most part Gibson did have some outside sources but everything was pretty Biblical and accurate. It was like watching the Gospels in order.

Schwarzenegger's recently proposed increase in higher education student fees, UC and CSU students are expected to experience further increases in future years by as much as 10 percent annually. In Gov. Schwarzenegger's Jan. 9, 2004-05 Budget Summary, he stated that, "to ensure sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen fiscal needs, the administration proposes that the state policy provide sufficient flexibility to increase fees annually by as much as 10 percent." In lieu of a reduction of $311 million from a CSU general f und allocation of $2.4 billion, the governor assured California residents that, "to ensure public university students are protected in the future from dramatic fee increases as a consequence of declines in general f und resources, the Administration proposes to establish a longterm fee policy to ensure future fee increases are both moderate and predictable." See EDUCATION, page 2 Other News. Features... Sports. Opinions. A & E. MARCOS pages 2&3 page 5 page 6 pages 7&8 happened 2000 years ago to real life and making it authentic, relevant and more understandable." Koefod said, " I would recommend the movie to anyone. I cried and so did my youth group." Ideally it would take four years to graduate from a university; however, some students may have to wait six or seven years to get their degree if things go as planned for the governor's 2004/2005-budget proposal. The California Faculty Associations (CFA) of all the CSU schools are currently working together to put a stop to the budget cuts that could potentially cut more lecturers. Lecturers are those who teach on campus that are not of the tenure-line faculty. Lecturers support the tenure-line faculty by providing nearly half the teaching on CSU campuses, therefore releasing tenure-line faculty to pursue research and other scholarly obligations. Of these lecturers, which make up almost 50 percent of the teaching of CSU classes, 90 percent are on a part time basis, which means that neither service nor longevity can shield them from losing See LECTURERS, page 2 Skateboard makers sending manufacturing to China By ROGER NARANJO Pride StaffWriter Made in the USA or made in China? The skateboarding industry has arrived at a very serious crossroad, and might be forced to either clash or follow a new era in overseas skateboard manufacturing in order to keep up in such a competitive market. The announcement came when Chop Chop Wood Shop, of Dwindle Distribution, under the direction of Rodney Mullen, revealed their plans to send manufacturing overseas to China in mid 2002. Chop Chop Wood Shop is supposed to be a state of the art manufacturing plant that outperforms the average deck manufacturer in the United States, with respect to quality and consistency, as well as price.

SI "Specifically the administration proposes to link future increases in undergraduate student fees to the increase in per-capita personal income, which reflects the ability of families to pay additional fees," he said. Concerning disadvantaged students, he further said that, "The administration's long-term student fee policy will have minimal effect on low-income students. Qualifying lowincome students will continue to be eligible to receive federal Pell Grants and Cal Grants, and California's higher education segments will continue to provide financial aid to needy students." Despite efforts to identify a thematic rationale concerning Schwarzenegger's budget reduction proposals, the governor's office failed to respond to recent repeated inquiries for such purpose. Such dismissal of students' pursuits of knowledge from their legislators bears significant implications with respect to the governor's regard for state education and its students. The future welfare of the democratic state as a whole may be questionable when elected officials fail to heed responsibilities, such as accountability of information, to the citizens they govern. Nonetheless, the governor's Budget Summary revealed administrative priorities and rationalizations concerning its policies. their community college fees waived," he said. Regarding his new policy governing excess units, he proposed to eliminate subsidies for UC and CSU students taking an excess of 110 percent of the total units required to earn their degree. "This change will help "Given c urrent fiscal c onstraints, u niversity ensure students graduate in a timely manner, and minimize a ccess c annot b e the cost to the state," he said. g uaranteed f or a s Such dramatic shifts in fee m any s tudents a s i n policies may come as a general t he past." r -Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger esult of the relatively large percentage of the state general The governor proposes to fund that constitutes education, reduce enrollment of new meaning that it may absorb cuts UC and CSU freshmen by 10 more readily than less resilient percent, redirecting students to areas of funding. community colleges, to transfer For fiscal year 2004-05, to a UC or CSU upon completion higher education expenditures of requisite lower-division comprise $8.7 billion, or 11.4 units. "Students entering these percent of a $76 billion general new agreements would have fund. the increased use of teaching assistance. To students this means a reduction in the number and type of classes available, the possible elimination of entire programs, prolonged graduation and less one-on-one time with professors (including office hours). In addition, if Governor Schwarzenegger's cuts take effect, students would experience a reduction in student services such as counseling, reductions in libraries, and an increase in fees with a reduction of access tofinancialaid, and reduction or possible elimination of student success programs, such as EOP. One program at CSUSM being strongly affected by the budget cuts is the Women's Studies program. Only two tenure-track faculty, with the assistance of five lecturers, operate the entire Women's Studies degree. With one tenure-track faculty out on maternity leave, Linda Pershing associate professor, is left to do a lot of the administrative work, as well as serve as an advisor to both the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and a new Women's Studies Honor Society (Iota, Iota, Iota). "It is ironic that the program is offering so many events for the campus, yet we receive so little institutional support," said Pershing. This upcoming fall semester, if the budget goes through after the March election, the Women Studies major will be cut from fifteen courses to five. "Budget cuts hit our department especially hard," Pershing said. "Small and interdisciplinary programs suffer especially because we don't have a number of faculty to fall back on, and we have to rely on other departments to offer classes relating to our major." According to CFA analyst Andy Lyon's research brief, if the Governor's budget goes Schwarzenegger explained that, "access remains a high priority for the administration. However, given current fiscal constraints, university access cannot be guaranteed for as many students as in the past." LECTURERS from page 1 their jobs. Mayra Besosa, the CFA union lecturer representative at CSUSM, summed up a LaborManagement Council meeting that took place on Feb. 3, where it was said that the University Budget Committee must work with the University Planning Committee to ensure that vertical cuts occur outside the instructional budget. Besosa explained that this would allow, "instruction and program development to receive top priority." In contrary to what was stated at the meeting, the departments are planning to apply their cuts by reducing considerably or eliminating their lecturer faculty. To the professors that this will affect, this means a loss of a job. For the remaining faculty this means an increased workload, larger class sizes, and — H£lP-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A ¿F H P"! 277 S.

These cuts are spread over all CSU campuses; but are equal to entirely closing the three largest campuses (SDSU, CSU Long Beach, and CSU Northridge), resulting in 20,000 qualified students being turned away in the upcoming academic year. 5,000 applicants were turned away during the 2003/04 school year. Lyon's statistics show that there will be a total of $239.7 million in reduced state funding for the CSU. This causes a large increase in student fees by about 10 percent for undergraduates and 40 percent for graduate students.

The marathon began with Genesis and ended with Revelation and the words, "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Club members, students, staff and faculty signed up for reading slots and read from 7: 00 in the morning through 9:00 in the evening Monday through Thursday last week in front of Kellogg Library. Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister said the event was in memory of Kay Meredith, who past away last April. Meredith worked in the College of Education as a credential specialist. She headed to China with her husband for the third time but Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77ze Pride Ruby Udeh (left) and Ashle Baker, both juniors, read out of Acts on Thursday. became ill with a rare disease and passed away six weeks later, "She was an inspiration and a light, she touched lives wherever she went," said Bran. On the right hand corner of the table sat a place card in Meredith's memory. This was the club's third annual marathon. Bran said, "The purpose is to create dialogue about the Bible and for people to ask why we believe what we do. This marathon was perfect timing for the movie "The Passion.' People have come up and asked us what we think about the movie and even about Ash Wednesday and we have been able to talk to them about that." "The Bible is a best seller and the most influential historical book out there," said club officer Kimberly Lazenby. "And we want to extend that invitation to read the Bible to everyone." Throughout the event, the Bible was read in Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew and Chinese. "Local bookstores and churches donated Bibles so the club could hand them out. We easily gave away fifty Bibles. People would just come up and ask for them," Bran said. This was the first marathon involving Priority Club President David Rollingson, who said, "We have seen nothing but positive, there has been no ridicule, just thankyou's and asking why we are doing it." Many people signed up from the College of Education. Track and Field coach Steve Scott, faculty advisor Dr. Karno Ng- Alston from Hong Kong, Virgian Hughes from the Rudy Sahagun (left) and Yoko Suzuki, of the CSUSM Priority Christian club, read their Bibles during the marathon. Sahagun read in Spanish and Suzuki in Japanese. Photo by Nicole Sallivftn/The Pride Admissions office and many others came and read in support of the event. The North County Times wrote an article about the event and the rainbow that showed up on campus after the rainstorm Monday morning. The rainbow came at the same time a student was reading the passage about Noah's Ark. Some readers said they just kept reading and the time went by so fast they did not even realize it. Rollingson said, "I read for three hours, but my focus was on the Gospels and the Bible and I pray that the voice of God is spread throughout this campus because of this event." Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., the event ended and a celebration began. Kathy Atuna, from Disabled Student Services came and danced a Messianic type worship dance while Kasandra Miller, the club's administrative president, worshiped with flags, and students sang praise and worship music. The club normally meets on Thursday nights in room 240 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and they extend the invitation to anyone who wants to check out the club. c » fs|v Silfi 1 11 ¡ B i l i l l l H Mmmmmrnrri'-' ¡mm • wL.I^V >..

These aren't your ordinary blow-up dolls. Abyss Creations have created "RealDoll," a life-like human version of any fantasy or desire; the dolls look so real, the illusion may even fool Houdini. Abyss Creations have been producing and selling RealDoll, lifelike sex dolls, since 1996. A year later, they received national attention on the Howard Stern show. Stern applauds the dolls as, "Best sex I ever had! I swear to God!" Television audience members may often spot one of the dolls in the backdrop of his show. From head to toe, customers are allowed to customize their doll, starting with the head type, body type, hair color, hairstyle, eye color and even getting as technical as make-up, fingernail color or having the doll's tongue pierced. Customers can build their ideal physical significant other. These dolls have a price tag far exceeding Barbie's, and at about six grand a pop, the pink corvette and inviting Skipper over for dinner, might be out of the question. Currently, there are nine bodies and fourteen faces for the female version of the doll. One male doll does exist, but he costs one thousand dollars more than the female model. Multiple varieties of the male doll are in expansion for later this year. "These are the Bentleys of the sex toy industry," Shelly Couture, media relations' manager of Abyss Creations said. "Each doll is fully articulated and solid, undoubtedly a piece of art." What makes RealDoll different from your average blow-up doll at F-Street is the quality. RealDolls are made of silicone rubber, for a texture that looks and feels similar to human skin. The actual silicon rubber is tasteless, odorless, and a special compilation made by Abyss Creations. In an effort to make the feminine version more realistic and authentic, RealDoll breasts are made of a special formulation of silicone that has a gelatinous consistency. Abyss Creations claim the special silicone gel gives the woman's breast a life-like look, feel, and bounce. Using cured silicone rubber, which is dry, the breast will never leak. Even the flexibility of the dolls has enough mobility to put a yoga instructor to shame. The joints are made of steel and rotate up to one hundred eighty degrees, so even at the most intangible position, the RealDoll remains firm yet flexible. Approximately one RealDoll is sold a day worldwide, and there isn't any particular type of customer. Customers range Photo by Eric Mercado/77z£? Pride RealDoll face glancing seductively before her head is placed on a body. All features of RealDolls are chosen from by the purchaser designing it. from people who appreciate art, to scientists and teachers. Some couples may choose the RealDoll as an alternative to indulge and enhance their sex lives. Abyss Creations is an independent retailer, with no affiliations, and customers must order directly from the company. Although one cannot buy these dolls at a local novelty shop, the dolls may be purchased online. The website, www.realdoll.com, provides detailed information of the RealDoll and offers information on other such novelties, such as Abyss' second biggest seller, the "Booby Ball," a.k.a. the stress ball.

"You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." Overseas manufacturers claim the savings will be passed on to avid skaters and skate shops, however this is yet to be seen, since greed and profits tend to dictate actions in all aspects of business Ryan Muldowney, also an employee of BBS Manufacturing said, "We wouldn't be a manufacturer, we would be a broker to the Chinese." Currently, Chop Chop Wood Shop manufactures boards for Blind, Darkstar, Enjoi, Almost and World Industries. What is more deceptive is that these overseas decks will not have the "Made in China" imprint stamped on them. The two federal agencies regulating country of origin markings are the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and United States Customs (Customs). The FTC regulates all goods claiming U.S. origin, and Customs regulates all other country of origin markings. Without going into too much import export jargon, there are tests which need to be satisfied before you can proudly place the Made in the U.S.A. logo on any product The test states that goods "undergo a substantial transformation if, as a result of manufacturing and processing steps in this country (US), the imported goods lose their identity and are transformed into new goods having a new name, character; or use" so that no countryof-origin marking is required. In other words, if you receive rubber form Brazil and transform it into an American tire, the change done in the United States is substantial enough to no longer consider it foreign. This loophole allows Chinese decks to blend in with American made decks since American made decks did not need to label where they were manufactured, it was already known. This is not the case any longer. Skateboarding is an American pastime, a culture that other countries have "You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." adopted. All over the world in places like Brazil, London, France, Spain and even China, the demand for American manufactured decks is unequivocal. The business model still applies to this industry, and while the demand for certain brands drives sales, lowering the price of these brands will definitely increase sales volume until every skater in the park skates the same board. Shoppers are sure to find the complete deck with grip tape, trucks and wheels for a deal at $24.99. These changes in the industry could translate into skate shops becoming obsolete and ultimately being replaced with the Wal-Mart skateboard department. �Jock Talk with Josh Interview with golfer Stephanie Segura College sport scandals JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer By JOHN STUART Pride StaffWriter How long have you been playing golf, for fun, as well as competitively? I have been playing golf since I was about 10 years old (12 years now). I played in several junior golf events, but I mainly became serious about golf during high school. When I was in high school golf was not popular with girls at all. There wasn't even a girl's team at my high school. I played on a boy's team. That was an experience of its own. I always dreamed of playing on the collegiate level but I never thought I was good enough. But fortunately the title IX law with equality for female sports was issued the year I graduated, so that was the year that CSUSM decided to start a women's team. The head coach, here at CSUSM contacted me and wanted to meet me and have me come see the school. I was offered a great athletic golf scholarship and my collegiate career started. P hoto b y S arah Carlin/TZze Pride and where does CSUSM typically play or practice? As a team we practice all the time. We practice everyday. A lot of people do not understand that being on a golf team and playing collegiate sports is like working full time as well. Here at CSUSM we have one of the best practicing schedules anyone has ever heard of. Our golf coaches work hard to get us out on the golf course everyday to prepare us for our tournaments. We play four days a week. On Monday and Wednesdays we play 18 holes at 6:30 in the morning. Then we go to school in the afternoons. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we play from 1 p.m. till dark, and are expected to go to classes that morning. Every Friday we are in the gym at 7 a.m. for yoga, and then at the golf course again to practice our short game for two hours (putting and chipping).

The women's team consists of seven girls, where five girls travel for the tournaments. The men's team consists of approximately thirteen players. What do you enjoy about playing golf for CSUSM? CSUSM is a growing school, and I like the fact that the golf team is one way for people to get to know about the small university. We also get to play some of the best courses in southern California. Playing for CSUSM also means that we are chosen to represent the university at the intercollegiate athletic level. I am graduating this semester and I have been on the team for 5 years with one year of red shirting. I will be the first girl to ever enter as a freshman and graduate after playing every year on the team. I have had such a great experience with the girls on the team and all my golfing endeavors. I will never forget my amazing experience being on the women's golf team here at CSUSM. Photo courtesy ofCSUSM Women's GolfTeam Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Scandal. These words have been all too common in topic of conversation anytime college football is brought up. Words that should not be associated with college football are now, sadly, a disgraceful part of the game. Famous head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, is known for saying, "Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing." College football programs are taking Coach Lombardi's words to an unprecedented level. College football is a huge source of revenue for universities. Millions of dollars can be earned by universities if the school can build a competitive football program. Therefore, football programs feel the need to do whatever possible to acquire the greatest talents around the world, even if they break the rules to do so. When high school football players are being recruited by universities, the young athletes go on recruitment trips to the university. Recruitment trips are designed for prospective student athletes to get a feel for the campus and the football program. The high school athletes are paired up with current members of the football team who serve as hosts. The host is given $30 to provide entertainment for the young athlete. Typically, the two will catch a movie or just play video games throughout the night. However, movies and video games are becoming less effective recruiting tools for the most sought after athletes. In a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, current San Diego State University (SDSU) running back Lynell Hamilton told the story of his recruitment trip to the University of Oregon. Hamilton said that he was offered alcohol, marijuana, and sex at parties that he was taken to during his visit. Hamilton did not want to participate in such activities so he decided to attend SDSU. That incident shined a spotlight on the University of Oregon (OU) and their recruiting practices. The spotlight on OU can not compare to the spotlight currently on the University of Colorado (CU). Recent accusations have surfaced that many women have been raped by CU football players. Three women in specific have filed a lawsuit against CU, stating that football players and recruits raped them at a party they attended. This infor- mation was made public several months ago. No action was taken against head coach Gary Barnett or his program until two weeks ago when another story surfaced. In 1999, Katie Hnida became the first female football player in CU history when she was given the position of placekicker. Hnida stated that she was harassed on many occasions by her teammates. She stated that several players exposed themselves to her. Hnida described a time where a player even rubbed his penis against her. She also said that she was groped and endured vulgar language throughout the season. Hnida said that one night while at a teammate's house while watching television a teammate got on top of her and raped her. Hnida has been criticized for not going public with this news sooner. Hnida has reiterated that she was afraid of what might have happened to her since she was not well liked by the team. She believed that head coach Gary Barnett would have dismissed her from the team since she says he did not care for her. In recent weeks, Gary Barnett has made his opinion well known on the topic of women in men's sports. Two weeks ago at a press conference, Barnett stated, "It was obvious Katie was not very good. She was awful. Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it." Barnett was placed on paid leave for the offensive comments and he will likely lose his job. Football traditionalists question what a woman is doing playing in the sport of men. I know of a time, way back in 1947, when baseball traditionalists questioned what a black man, by the name of Jackie Robinson, was doing playing in the sport of white men. It is without a doubt that Hnida and Robinson were both trailblazers who felt like they were alone in the world. Time will only tell if Hnida has a similar effect that Robinson had. Hnida is now the plackicker on the University of New Mexico football team. Last season she became the first woman to score a point in the history of college football. Hnida says she does not want to press charges against CU or against the former teammate that raped her. She just hopes to prevent this from happening to others.

If not, please go to the polls right now and do so. If you did not register to vote, then your voice will go unheard. Not voting is dangerous in a country where we depend on every person, regardless of who they are or where they come from, to say what they want by voting. Please vote. Up for grabs today is political party representation and several propositions — propositions 55 through 58, prop A, prop C, and the presidential nominees for each party. Ifyou have any last dôubts, or want to refresh your memory before you vote, please go to the California primary website at http: / /voterguide. s s.ca.gov. There you will find all the information you need to make an educated vote. Please vote. In the past presidential election, only half the voting age actually voted. The deadline to register in California is two weeks before Nov. 4. If you don't know who to vote for, MTV.com has all kinds of great information about the candidates, the election process, and other information about changing your world. Check out "Choose or Lose," and also "Rock the Vote." Oh and by the way, one vote does make a difference. California, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington all became states by one vote. Get registered and vote. That's sad. That's scary. It basically says that some people, half the nation, don't have what it takes to be an American. You do. If you went and voted today, or will go later, thank you. Your country thanks you. If you didn't register, please do so today. Don't wait, go register as soon as you're done with school.

It's worth the 100 mile daily drive By KIMBERLY SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, my alarm blasts a disturbing noise. It is 6 a.m. in the morning and I am beginning to think about my day that lies ahead. Ifiguremy day might seem a little brighter if I go back to sleep for a while. After forty minutes of extra rest, I push my snooze button one last time. I get up and realize that I have to be on the road in twenty minutes to make it to my 8:30 am class on time. After my twenty-minute rush of getting ready for school; I am finally get into myfreezingcar. I can barely see out my frosty windows, however that is o.k.. I know my twenty to thirty minute wait on the Balboa/Garnet, on-ramp in Pacific Beach and my almost fiftymile drive to Cal State San Marcos will give my car plenty of time to warm up. As I wait in the morning commute traffic, I wonder what freeway would be quicker and less congestive with traffic. To be certain of my decision I tune into Jagger and Kristi on 94.1 to check the traffic report. Not to my surprise is 1-15 backed up with traffic. So this morning I will be taking 1-5 north to the 78 east. The 1-5 freeway is a longer route to school but from previous commutes to San Marcos, I know that my journey to school is usually a quicker and smoother route. As I reach Carlsbad, I notice that the 78 east is just ahead. I cross my 1 1 1 H P !

As I reach Vista, I see no signs of traffic. Oh no, coming up toward Melrose Avenue, cars appear to be slowing down. Knowing my luck this traffic will go on until Rancho Santa Fe Road, possibly making me late for my 8:30 a.m. class. I check the time on my watch; it is already 8:15 a.m. I hope I make it butfromthe looks of the traffic, I do not think I will be making it to class on time. The 78 is just so unpredictable. Suddenly, the traffic begins to pick up. Now I am almost to Twin Oaks Valley Road. I have nine minutes until myfirstclass starts. To my very own surprise, I think I am going to make it just in the nick of time. As I drive into the Cal State San Marcos, parking lot. I think to myself, how worth the long, costly, time consuming and chaotic the drive up to Cal State San Marcos is. After all, I am not the only person that travels almost one hundred miles round trip to get to school. I know a handful of students at Cal State San Marcos that drive the same, if not more of a distance that I drive twice a week. Many students at Cal State San Marcos drive the far distance four to five times a week. It just proves that sometimes people, including myself, have to go that extra mile to attend a university that offers the students, up to date resources and a great faculty that Cal State San Marcos gives us. l it e s Prick Ombudsman A good balance of both hard news and feature articles characteristic of any newspaper.

While the information in that letter might startle or upset some of yotii, please remember to think critically about what you read there. Remember that in education, title and position are rewarded» As such, the status of being a university president is not without its benefits. In other words, we should not be appalled by these numbers when we have not yet had an opportunity to quantify the work that President Haynes has barely begun. Haynes is only just a few weeks in to the role of our president I think we should take the angle of seeing if we get our money's worth before we say we are paying too much.

March 8 "Uterine Vinegar" with Pat Payne is a series of humorous performance vignettes that confront the medical industry's prejudices about mature women and their bodies. In the stories, a pair of sibling protagonists battle gynecologists, surgeons, selfhelp books, and feminist health centers, as they attempt to regain control of their reproductive organs. The sisters look at the continued pathology of natural female aging processes, and how these feminine ideals are played out in low income communities and communities of color. Although the subject matter is serious, the sisters' decidedly offbeat approach to their medical problems is delivered with a healthy dose of sarcasm and macabre imagination.

In this scene, Gibson clearly visualized for the audience how brutal and inhuman Jesus' death really was. Gibson makes the film even more authentic by having all the actors speak in the Aramaic, Hebrew or Latin. Whether you agree with the Gibson's story or not; it is undoubtedly a work of art that provokes an intense emotional feeling in anyone that views it. This movie is not anti-Semitic. I am not a theologian or an expert on Biblical Studies. At the end of film, I personally felt no negative feelings for those of the Jewish faith nor do I think the film was trying to convey that particular message. I woke up at least a dozen times last night. The constant waking up was not due to something I ate, or to go to the bathroom. The disturbance I was feeling was brought on by the film I had just seen earlier in the evening, Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of the Christ." The movie traces the last 12 hours of Jesus' life, starting at the beginning of his persecution and ending with his resurrection as it is portrayed in the New Testament. Unlike the previous films on this subject, the focus of Gibson's movie is Jesus' crucifixion, not his teachings. There are a few scenes in which the movie flashes back to Jesus' works; however, this is not the focus. Mel Gibson uses graphic images to guide the audience on this extremely emotional journey. There are several scenes in which Jesus is being beaten and abused. It would be an understatement to say this movie is "bloody." The photography combined with exceptional sound places the audience right there at the scene. At one point, I could feel myself twitching every time I heard the sound of a whip. I do not recommend this film to anyone under 17 without a parent or guardian present. The movie contains extremely violent and graphic images; it was hard for even me, a 27-year-old adult, to get them out of my head. After the movie concluded, I was shocked at the number of young teenagers that were walking out of the theatre. I give "The Passion of the Christ" 4stars. Gibson's passion for the movie shines through every scene. One specific part of the film, which I cannot get out of my head, Photos courtesy of Icon Distributins and New Market Films James Caviezel, a devout Catholic who refused to do a love scene in the movie "High Crimes" due to his religious beliefs, was touched from above by a lightning bolt during filming. CSUSM and The Center for the Arts host free play Photos courtesy of Larry Gus (Above and below) An all Native American cast acts out the violent history of the Cahuilla Indians. The history of the Cahuilla Indians and the extraordinary life of Tribal leader Katherine Siva Saubel on stage in Escondido. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series is presenting an original play written, directed and produced by Leigh Podgorski, entitled "We Are Still Here" at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido at 6:30 p.m., Thurs., Mar. 4. Admission is f ree and the event is open to the public. "We Are Still Here" is the story of Tribal Leader, Katherine Siva Saubel and the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, told through original Cahuilla legends, narratives and scenes from Saubel's extraordinary life. Saubel is a respected tribal elder and scholar who has lectured internationally on the Cahuilla language and culture. She has served as executive director of the oldest Indian-owned and run museum and publishing house in North America and was recently inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. The Cahuilla Indians have been around more than 2,000 years. They inhabited the area from Borrego to Riverside, which is about 2,400 square miles. They are generally referred to as Mountain, Desert, and Pass Cahuillas. They are described as hunters. The men used bows and arrows, traps, throwing sticks and clubs as weapons. They hunted desert bighorn sheep, deer, antelope, rabbit, and other small mammals. The women gathered seeds, mesquite beans, pinion, acorns, cactus buds, chia, harvested the seeds of palm trees and many other plants. Not only did they gather food but they were also responsible for creating medicines and shelter. Their language of the Cahuillas is Uto-Aztecan or Shoshonean stock which is part of the same language family also shared by the Pauite. The Cahuilla located their camps near water and food. They also made baskets as well as pottery which they learned to make from their neighbors the Pueblos. There may have been as many as 10,000 Cahuillas before contact with the Europeans who in 1862 brought a small pox epidemic; after the epidemic only about 2,500 survived. Today there are about 290 registered Cahuillas as recorded by the tribal headquarters. Podgorski has written other plays, including "They Dance to the Sun," a trilogy that follows a Ute Indian family through a century of American history, and "Windstorm," a one-act play honoring Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a champion for the rights of the dying.

"More people want in the credential program than we B u d g e t can allow in," said College of W a t c h education representative for 2004 the Budget and Long Range Planning Committee, Dr. Tom Bennett. As Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education confirmed, "the college of education will be expected to take a part of the system-wide reduction in students. Lilly said because the college's credential program isfifth-year,it would be "better not to admit students, than to admit them and not be able to offer them the classes to Dean Lilly finish." Restrictions to credential program admissions will be based primarily on the needs of the field, he explained. If the pool of available teachers in a particular area is larger than the number of jobs, "that's where we would decide to limit admissions," he said. For example, Lilly said that "There is a chronic shortage of special education teachers in this area. We will not restrain admission to special education credential programs. It wouldn't be a responsible thing to do." Admissions restrictions will likely result in the reduction of one less "cohort group" in a year. The cohort model provides for groups currently of approximately 30 credential students to remain together in all of their courses throughout the yearlong program. Lilly surmised that, "Maybe the best thing we have going is the luxury of the cohort model. Teachers learn from each other and support each other," closely mirroring a professional learning community. He further See EDUCATION, page 2 Other News. Features. Sports. Opinions...

"The state is not going to be better off 20 years from now because we denied people access to higher education," said George Diehr, president of the CSUSM chapter of the California Faculty Association. A number of programs that are considered vital throughout the CSU system are in jeopardy under Schwarzenegger's cuts, the most notable being the Educational Opportunity Program. With form letters lined up on side tables, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper encouraged students to get involved politically by calling or writing their state representatives. Budget cuts, he said, will drastically affect students at CSUSM if the governor's See RALLY, page 4 MEChA, teens team up - High school conference celebrates latinos and enpowers students •W^SÊ^âÊÉM By JON RODLEY Pride StaffWriter Photo by Jon RodIey/77ie Pride With rappers waving their hands in the air and colorful dre'sses twirling on Latina women, MEChA hosted the sixth annual high school conference Friday. Almost 450 students from North County high schools swarmed CSUSM from morning till 1:30 p.m., some for the food and fun; others had a more serious purpose. "I came for info about the university," said Juan Beltran, a senior at Valley Center high school. MEChA ran the event for that purpose, to motivate students to attend college and raise awareness of Latino issues and history. "It explained something about my culture," Beltran said. In California, Latinos are 32 percent of the population, but only 18 percent of the students at Cal State San Marcos are Latino. Latinos are considered underrepresented because of this. "They need to be here, and they should be here," said E. Sugar Martinez, assistant professor for the college of education. She said that we are at a time when demographics are changing "like a tidal wave. "The changes are going to be revolutionary," Members of SoKal represented Escondido Friday as they sang about street life. See MEChA, page 3 Report calls book prices a ' ripoff By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The publishing incjustry has developed numerous ways to make college students pay high prices for textbooks, a recent report says. The California and Oregon Student Public Interest Research Groups (State PIRGs) issued the report in January, 2004, fittingly titled "Rip-off 101: How the Current Practices of the Publishing Industry Drive Up the Cost of College Textbooks." In conducting their research, the State PIRG's surveyed ten colleges in California and Oregon, and interviewed 521 students and 156 faculty members. One technique used by publishers to get more money is to include additional "bells and whistles" with See BOOKS, page 2 Photo by Tom Pfingsten/77*e Pride Students look for t hese familiar stickers on discounted books in the University Bookstore.

Students usually cannot buy the book without the additional material. "Rip-off 101" reports that this tends to happen more with science and math books. CSUSM chemistry professor Michael Schmidt remembers an instance when it was cheaper for the school to order the new edition of a textbook with a CD included than the edition without it. However, by ordering the less expensive editions with the CD, it also prevented the used editions from being stocked, because they didn't come with a CD. Students were therefore unable to buy the more affordable used editions. "Some of the tricks they pull are amazing," Schmidt said. In addition, the report says that sixty-five percent of professors "rarely" or "never" require students to use these supplemental materials. Therefore, when students buy books with additional study items, they are paying for something that they most likely will not use. Angela Lesh, CSUSM sophomore business major, has never used a CD that has come with one of her textbooks. " I'll forget that I even have it," she says, "and then I'll need it to return [sell back] books." The report also concluded that publishers frequently put out new editions of textbooks, even if it isn't necessary. Erwin V. Cohen, a former publishing industry executive for Academic Press, was quoted in the report. "Publishers release new editions of successful textbooks every few years," he said, "not to improve content, although that may be a P hoto by Tom Pfingsten/77ze Pride S haron R omo b uys s chool s upplies in t he U niversity B ookstore M onday.

Seventy-six percent of the faculty surveyed for the report said that putting out new editions for textbooks is necessary "never" to "half the time." As a result of the constant production of new editions, students have a hard time finding used books, the report says. Fifty-nine percent of students surveyed could not find one used book in the fall, 2003 semester. Lesh said that new books go quickly. "If I don't go (to the bookstore) right away, I have to buy new books," she said. Some students, EDUCATION THE PRIDE from page 1 explained, "We know what we need to offer a group of students that comes through the door. Students like the predictability of it. They never stand in line to get a class," About 16 percent of the university's current students are enrolled in the college of education's post-graduate programs, 8085 percent of which are credential students, Lilly explained. Related to instruction, last year's cuts included no layoffs, and concerning the future possibility of faculty layoffs, Lilly stated for the record that, "We don't anticipate it, but we don't know." Last year's budget reduced faculty travel allocations and mileage reimbursements for professional meetings and conferences, in order not to affect the number of sections offered or the number of students admitted this year. Concerning programs to be affected by budget reductions, Bennett explained, "we need to cut areas that we're sure will come back. You can whittle things down in areas and they will never come back. If you cut core essential things that there's a lot of personal interest in, then when funding comes back, they will also come back." Furthermore, he added, "There has been no discussion about what's being removed. It needs to be something that will come back for certain. If we raise class sizes, they may never go back down." Placing a greater burden on teachers, these measures may affect the quality of instruction available within the college of education. Bennett, a mathematics professor, characterized CSUSM as on the "cutting edge" of educational knowledge and resources. His greatest concern as a faculty member was regarding continued faculty support, elaborating that unless teachers continue to pursue professional development, "the ideas that they still hold will be the ideas of yesterday." He continued, "There needs to be continued opportunity to participate in the broader community, so that those ideas can then be brought to our students." Bennett further explained that, "We're very well respected among the communities. We spend a lot of time in the community working in schools, helping them to have leading programs, training See EDUCATION, page 4 ADVERTISE WITH THE PRIDE!

Online textbooks may be a cheaper option, because the cost of paper and printing is eliminated, the report states.

In 2002, SDSU implemented CaMexUS which linked them to Canada and Mexico. These are undergraduate programs with the main focus on international business. Students in the Transamerica program will study for a minimum of one year in each country and will graduate with three degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in international business with emphasis in Spanish and Latin American studies, a Licenciatura en Negociaciones Internacionales from the Universidad de Valparaiso in Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, Chile, and a Licenciatura en Negocios Internacionales from the Unversidad Automoa de Baja California in Tijuana. Transamerica director Teresa Cisneros Donahue said the international degree will prepare students to take advantage of new economic market forming overseas and help expand our academic relations with them. Prerequisites of the triple degree program require students to earn 79 units in international business courses. Half of these courses must be completed in Spanish at Transamerica schools plus 49 units of General Education at SDSU. CSU Chico gets $1 million grant By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter California Postsecondary Education Commission has granted $998,946 to Cal State University, Chico. The grant will be used to improve the quality of education of K-12 teachers and help county offices of education meet new mandated requirements for beginning teachers. The funds will also be distributed among Tehama County Office of Education and Northeastern California Teachers Education Collaborative (NECTEC). The California Commission on Teaching Credentialing now requires teachers to continue learning in areas such as: technology, teaching English learners, creating healthy learning environments and teaching special populations. "From district to district, there is a wide rang of induction activities. NECTEC will improve on current work, developing new materials, make them easy to access and align them during this crucial time," said Terry Janicki, CSU Chico education services. jjVv^' iJíxí III. 91 ¥ ¥ V BIRTH CHÇICE OF S A N MARCOS l it --CAN W-'L. - f:}, tfèî: Ii I m HELP- 760.744.1313 277 S.

During a speech she gave, she performed a song she wrote for the event called "Si Se Puede," — "Yes You Can," — Caesar Chavez's slogan for Latino rights. Her message, she said, was that through education, it is possible for students to grow into leadership — leadership to open the doors for underrepresented people in the community. At Cal State San Marcos, the doors are open for them, said Rosa Balcazar, entertainment chair for MEChA and a freshman at CSUSM. She said the theme for the convention was "Education is not a dream, it is a goal." After speeches, including an intro by President Haines, the students attended workshops concerning entering college and cultural topics. Dr. Carlos von Son, a professor for the world languages department, lectured classes of 50 students on a painting of the "Virgin of Guadalupe." In a world where images represent who we are, von Son talked about image changes in the United States. He said he urged the importance of art in education and wanted the students to start thinking for themselves. "Students were really responsive. I like that," he said.

"We do it because we love it." Students seemed to love it also with their cheering. "They know what they're doing," said Adriana Solis, a senior at Orange Glen. She said she came just to see them.

Affiliated with the North County Professional Development Federation, a consortium of approximately 22 districts, CSUSM would be disabled by budget cuts in its ability to work with teachers in the community. Such collaboration with local school districts is essential when considering its impact, as evidenced by this February 6 statement in the CSU Leader, a weekly e-news publication of the CSU: "CSU has increased the number of new teaching credential candidates to 12,700, a 25 percent increase during 2001-2. The CSU is widely known for preparing 60 percent of California's credentialed teachers." In lieu of these successful and essential CSU programs, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," Lilly said, adding, "We're going to try to back that up by protecting fee levels as much as we can." Emphasizing the unique importance CSUSM places on teacher education, he revealed that, "This campus invests a higher proportion of its funds in preparing teachers than any other CSU." With regard to this year's funding, the college of education (COE)'s fiscal year (FY) 03/04 initial general fund budget allocation consisted of $4,669,577, or approximately 6.1 percent of the total fall 2003 CSUSM annual budget of $76,510,104, or 11.42 percent of the $40.9 million payroll of 980 employees (full-, and part-time staff and faculty). FY 03/04 budget cuts accounted for $371,959, or 7.97 percent, including a permanent funding cut of $274,917, or 5.89 percent, resulting in a net FY 03/04 COE budget allocation of $4,297,618, according to Resource and Operations Manager for the Provost, Deborah Cutler Ray. Because instructional budgets are separate from all other funds (i.e. buildings), however, the Proposition 55 $15 billion bond proposed on the March 2 ballot would not directly affect these figures, which consist solely of instructional funding allocations. However, as Lilly explained, the bond measure "will have a domino effect," as new construction allows the college of education to "grow into their building," while WMMmwMiftfti Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/TTie Pride .

Proposition 57, a $15 billion bond designed to cover California's current deficit, will likewise effect the college, as feasibly less potential cuts will be directed toward it and the university as a whole. The Governor's proposed elimination of EOP and outreach programs would also have a significant impact, limiting WÈ 'You buy the Pitcher I We buv the Pizza! ¡11^ You buy one pitcher, and well buy you a medium cheese pizza!

The Dean expressed his concern saying, "We're very interested in, and committed to the continuation of outreach programs. Elimination would absolutely affect those looking to come in." Reflecting on the Governor's proposed fee increase structure of 10 percent for undergraduates, 40 percent for graduate students, RALLY from page 1 and an additional 20 percent for non-residents, Lilly expressed that, "One of the really good things this state does is, when fees increase, part of those fees go toward proportionately increasing available grant funds such as Cal Grants, so that those who are least able to afford a fee increase also have the grant money available to them." He affirmed this effect as "a forward looking policy." Golich. "It makes no sense to me." Several other CSUSM faculty members attended the rally, including Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman, who suggested creating a county-wide "anti-cuts coalition." Newman cited a recent rally at UCSD as evidence that students here are "not alone" in opposing the governor's budget cuts. Former EOP Director Edward Pohlert noted that several of the assemblymen students were asked to contact were former EOP students themselves. "There are 300,000 EOP graduates since 1969 that are doing some great work," Pohlert said. "It's not about the governor. It's a numbers game." Pohlert also answered concerns that Schwarzenegger's cuts to the EOP may be racially motivated. "I don't think it's a racial issue as much as a class issue," he said, raising questions about the governor's financial backers. 2004-2005 budget goes unchallenged. The majority of the time during the rally was spent focusing on the governor's plans to cut the Educational Opportunity Program out of campuses across the state. Students were asked to contact local political leaders while hearing testimonies from EOP graduates. "When I first heard about the governor's cuts to the EOP, I was disheartened, because so many of us have gone on to contribute to the state," said former EOP student Susana Gonzalez. "The governor's cutting numbers—he's not looking at your face." According to a fact sheet circulated Monday, the EOP at Cal State San Marcos serves more than five hundred low-income students, providing one $750 grant per year to each eligible participant. EOP services include advising and "supplemental instruction." Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Vivki Golich compared the services offered by the threatened Educational Opportunity Program at CSUSM to those of an Ivy League school. She said that due to its counseling and tutoring services, the EOP here has been largely successful at raising retention rates.

The smaller the class size, the more individual attention each student can receive. In theory this works, but is there a dangerous side effect slowly working its way to the surface, one that is reminiscent of the not too distant past, of say, high school. Disruptive students, the ones who talk about plans for the weekend, what they're going to do or anything that diverts attention from what the professor is teaching. Everyone experienced it in high school, but as mature adults in a state university, it's unlikely anyone will receive detention or a trip to the dean's office. Is it something that's simply a part of human nature or are students showing less respect than they used to towards teachers. "It happened this morning in accounting, it's disruptive, (and) it's rude," said Rico Gutierrez, junior HTM major. Jennifer Diaz, junior, business "exactly" agreed with Gutierrez's comment regarding Erik G uevara classroom pests. "I get up early," Gutierrez explained. "It's not that I want to be here early, but I'm here, and these people disrespect the class. Everyone here's older, it's not like high school. Can't you just be quiet?" Vicki Baiandourian, junior, communications said, "Well.. .1 don't like it, but it doesn't bother me as long as I can hear the instructor. If people around me are talking, I ask them to be quiet." Meeting one of 'those' students, the student who is actually guilty of discussing that guy they'd met at someone's house, or the thirty six beers they thought they drank, could prove to be difficult, after all no one wants to admit they are guilty of annoying others. Erik Guevara, SSM junior gave a sheepish grin and a reluctant admittance to sometimes forgetting to put his cell phone on vibrate mode. Regarding students talking in class Guevara said, "They should go outside, or talk about it later. I think it's disrespectful to talk during class. When I do talk, it's about a class related subject."

Examining Black History Month By LORIANN SAMANO Pride Staff Writer J ennifer Diaz Different classes sometimes require different approaches in classroom decorum. Granted, talking about the weekend isn't one of them, but many times students get in sidebar conversations about class while the professor is teaching. Jason Padilla, senior communications said, "I think its okay (sidebar conversations while the professor is speaking) in certain classrooms. It's not a bad thing for students to talk amongst each other if the subject requires or demands it." Therein lies the crux. Some majors beg for conversation, because without it, they almost cease to function. Any communications professor will tell you that 'noise' plays a big part in receiving or sending a message. As long as that noise is conducive to sending and receiving, play on, otherwise, the process breaks down. "Other classes, it's inappropriate, like a math or sociology class," said Padilla. "(In) a communications class, we're all masters of mass media; it's hard not to communicate."

Sitting at the Black History Month Breakfast, on the CSUSM campus, I looked around at a room full of different people who gathered together to have breakfast, support Black History Month and enjoy the company of other students, staff and faculty who support the same ideas. As I sat there eating, and enjoying the conversation in which I was surrounded, I began to wonder how and when this recognition of Black History Month began. The celebration of Black History Month is accredited to the study of black history by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Raised in Kentucky by his parents, who were former slaves, he graduated from high school, and went to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. Dr. Woodson, while studying, found that history books greatly ignored black Americans and were only reflected in inferior social positions that they were assigned at the time. Dr. Woodson decided to write black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915, and a year later founded the Journal of Negro History. In 1926 he launched Negro History Week, now called Black History Month, as a way to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history. February was chosen as Black History Month because it marks the birthdays of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who greatly influenced the black American population. February also marks other important dates throughout black history such as the birthday of W.E.B. Du Bofs, Feb. 23, 1868. Du Bois was an important civil rights leader and co-founder of theNAACP. The 15th Amendment was passed Feb. 3, 1870, granting Blacks the right to vote. The first black U.S. senator, Hiram R. Revels, took his oath of office Feb. 25, 1870. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded by a group of black and white citizens in New York City Feb. 1, 1960. And Malcolm X, the militant leader who promoted Black Nationalism, was shot to death by three Black Muslims Feb. 21, 1965. After learning all these facts, I had a better appreciation and understanding of all of those involved at the CSUSM Black History Month Breakfast. The Black National Anthem sung by Ruby Udeh, the keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatley, entertainment from the Black Student Union, who delivered works by Maya Angelo, Lameka Ingram and Anthony Blacksher, as well as a reading by Honey Folk, the ASI president, and Amazing Grace sung by Kimberly Oliver. "Knowledge is the key but only when you share it," said keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatly. "To stay free, stay educated." Democratic club builds membership By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer Politics are not just heating up in the news; it's starting to get a little warmer on campus thanks to the formation of the new Democratic club. Started by Dustin Lacasse, it was only a matter of time before the existing Republican club had a little competition. According to Lacasse, that was the primary reason for founding the club. "I wanted another voice on campus, to counter the Republican rhetoric," Lacasse said. It goes deeper. Dustin said he strongly believes in the values of the Democratic Party and does not believe the Republican Party promotes equality. "This country as a whole has a lot of problems and I think every- one should be treated equally," Lacasse said. He also wanted to spread the message of what the Democratic party is about, what it stands for and how it can make a difference in this country. Lacasse said wants the fledgling club to work with other student clubs on campus to let them know what the Democratic party is about and how it can address their needs. Thefirstpriority of the Democratic club is to build itiynembership. Currently there are seven members but Lacasse does not want that to be confused with lack of interest — many students work when the club meets or have class. He wants to point out that even if students cannot make the club meetings they should still e-mail him and he can keep them informed. After membership, building Lacasse wants to hold a public forum where they can spread the message of the Democratic Party, particularly before elections. "We'd love to have a debate against the Republican club, anytime," he said. Currently the club meets on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in ACD 405, but in the future that will change to Thursdays at 5:30, location is still to be determined. "I just want people to know, if they want something to change they need to get involved and the best way for students to do that is through a student club," Lacasse said. Students interested in information or about joining can e-mail Lacasse at lacas001@csusm.edu. �SPORTS Tuesday, February 24,2004 7 Jock Talk with Josh How much is too much?

I would like to say I 'm a hopeless romantic and I was sobbing because Carrie and Big finally got together. However, the truth is, I am so sorry to see my beloved Sex And The City (SATC) end! The four women on Sex And The City; Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have changed the perception of single women forever. The life of a single woman has always been pretty much the same throughout the past decades. What SATC did was change the popular definition of what being a single female really is. Before SATC came along, the popular perception of a single woman was that of a lonely girl whose sole purpose in life was to find a husband. Now that image has been shattered for good. The show gained most of its momentum in the first season when it revealed to the world that single women do have sex...and they talk about it too! The unattached female is closer to the playboy bachelor than was ever expected in mainstream television. I became a devoted fan of the show as the women started to grow and evolve. The best part about the four characters was they were not stereotyped into a specific category. Each fulfilled the virgin/whore role at specific times in their lives. For the first time on television, women were having conversations similar to the ones I was having with my friends. It also BEER N UTS By: opened up new topics to discuss with your nearest and dearest. Socially acceptable "girl talk" now ranges from orgasms, vibrators, oral sex, to the more serious impotency and infertility. One of my all time favorite episodes was when Charlotte consulted the other girls in a taxicab regarding the very important "up-the-butt" decision. I was so shocked that four sophisticated women in designer clothes were so freely talking about such a taboo subject. Correction, used to be taboo. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have displayed the real single women against the marvelous backdrop of Manhattan. Real woman meaning they have real careers, real friendships, real problems and real sex. Yes, the wardrobe was very unrealistic, but the eye candy was great. The show has also been a great source of information for men. No longer is just having a penis qualification for being a significant other. Single women now have much higher expectations. We want someone that compliments our life, not someone to take care of us. From now on I will always miss my HBO girls on Sunday evenings; which makes me even more grateful for my real girlfriends that I spend Saturday nights with.

Students of San Marcos, Let me first start off by saying that I am not here to discredit or bad mouth our new President Haynes. But did you know she gets a whopping $203,376 a year and on top of that she also gets a $36,806 housing and car allowance. I am not upset about her salary because she has earned it, but I am upset with her allowance. There is no need for an allowance when our state is in a budget crisis and our school has no money. It seems a bit greedy to me. Everyone who lives in the United States knows that California is in some serious troublefinanciallyand that money is very scarce. The area in which cuts were made the most was in education and some how President Haynes still manages to get an allowance. With her new allowance, she already bought a new Acura (Grey) with all the luxuries. Either way we as students or tax payers are paying for her allowance and new Acura. Anyone want to go for a ride? Also she writes books and I am sure that there is some money coming in from that, so financially she is ok and lives a modest life. Then why the allowance? Her allowance should be spent a bit more wisely. For example it can go towards our new parking structure, better food (restaurants) and scholarships so that we can attract more students to CSUSM. Or better yet, why not to schools who are in desperate need offinancialsupport so that our youth can get a better education? Isn't the future of the world children? I think so and not a new Acura. For information about our new president you can log onto signonsandiego.com and go under education. Then in the search engine type Cal State San Marcos and you will find all the info about her. Tone Capone 9 On March 5, 2004, CSUSM will celebrate the grand opening of the Kellogg Library by having a Luiseno blessing performed by Chris Devers. In light of other events in this country, a Judge ordering to remove the Ten Commandments from the Court House; City and County councils ordered to remove the Ten Commandments from Public lands; now prayer is prohibited in public schools. So one must wonder why a religious official is allowed to perform this event at a Public school. I have nothing against the Luiseno people or their religion; I merely think that if the State of California, through CSUSM, is going to perform a religious act at the official grand opening of a public building, they should provide an opportunity for all religions to have their representatives present to perform blessing as well. Sanctioning an act by only one religious official gives the appearance of officially "respecting an establishment of religion" in direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution, Article I, Section 4. President Haynes should take the responsibility of inviting religious officials from all religions in the area to join in this blessing, or discontinue the singular recognition of the Luiseno blessing. Stan Johnson BA Communication CSUSM Alumni 2003 B lack h istory m onth n ot c elebrated e nough a t C al S tate S an M arcos By Mark Penetra Pride StaffWriter The month of February is Black History Month. One month is set aside to commend and honor our fallen black leaders and to show our appreciation for the legacy they left behind. I did not see too many articles on Black History Month in the local newspaper. Therefore, I decided to get some feedback on what Black History Month means to students on campus. I also wanted to discuss the benefits they have received from these civil rights leaders. I spoke to Susan Loeber, a junior majoring in sociology, and asked her to state her views on Black History Month. She said it was important to her but she did not think that there was enough awareness. She said that perhaps the instructors should talk more about it in the classroom and give some background and information about some of our black civil rights leaders. This will enable students to be informed and will raise awareness. Danielle Storek a freshman majoring in Communication said she did not hear much buzz on campus about Black History Month. She is aware, however, of black leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who gave his life fighting for equality for all minorities. She said it would be great if The Pride could feature a black leader in the papers weekly to help promote black history awareness or if the school can invite black leaders to come and speak on campus. From the interviews I conducted on campus, it was evident to me that Black History Month isn't taken seriously on campus. I came away with the impression that the civil rights leaders' struggles and hardship they endure have been forgotten like yesterday's garbage. In America, we have a tendency to be non-chalant and take freedom for granted. Not too long ago during the Civil War did we have brothers killing brothers as North and South fought over freedom for the slaves. Then May 17, 1954 in the case of (Brown v Board of Education), a young black fifth grade student from Topeka Kansas named Linda Brown was denied admission into a white elementary school. Thurgood Marshall a black lawyer and head of the NAACP took this case to the Supreme Court saying that Photo courtesy of www.time.com/time racial segregation in public school violated the laws of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed and this decision became not only the turning point in desegregation of public school but also a beginning to equality among all races. Today this benefit can be seen through the school system, public and private, as we are becoming more and more diverse. This decision ended the (Plessy v Ferguson)case of 1896 of equal but separate. Other benefits we are enjoying today is the right of minorities to vote, to sit where we like on public transportation and the list goes on and on and on. The point is that Black History Month should never be allowed to have its fire flickering. Its fire should be burning with intensity as we remember our fallen comrades who suffered persecution so that we may have a better foundation in life. �American teens abroad make for big laughs in 'Eurotrip' By KIMBERLY SCHLATER Pride Staff Writer "Eurotrip," a film by the creators of "Road Trip" and "Old School," was met with much anticipation at a recent press screening. The story begins on graduation day. Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) and his best friend Cooper (Travis Wester) decide to blow off their European trip to intern for the summer. After Scotty's girlfriend breaks up with him the trip is back on so Scotty can meet his German Pen pal Mieke (Jessica Bohrs). The boys take a journey through London and Paris. While in Paris, Scotty and Cooper meet up with their friends, Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and her twin brother Jamie (Travis Wester). Then they're off to Amsterdam and on to their final destination, Rome, where Scotty hopes to meet Mieke for the first time. The film is filled with non stop comedy and laughter as the four get a taste of the European lifestyle. This film will make you want to go home and plan your own "Eurotrip."

Pride Dr. K r ocks t he mic while Living Large in t he L ounge. This last Wednesday at noon, the Student Lounge roeked to a different tune as they held their biweekly session of karaoke they call Living Large in the Lounge. The display of singing was certainly a sight to see, and definitely worth the warm welcome of free pizza and soda. It was an unusual picture on campus. It was a hilarious display as a student who calls himself Dr. K was singing RUN D.M.C.'s top hit, "It's Tricky." Dr. K was pure comedy. While most people pummeled through the pizza boxes, casually taking seats on the sofa playing video games, and talking and laughing amongst each other, others contributed to Dr. K's act by jumping and dancing to the music. Dr. K said, "They call me Dr. K I don't know why. It might have something to do with the fact that I work on video games and build home music systems." For whatever reason Dr. K received his alias, it was obvious that he was proud of his identity and loved the microphone. The enthusiasm in the Lounge was con- tagious and other students sang as well. Ashley Mistak, A.S.I, director of educational programming, and James Coleman sang a duet to Aerosmith's "Dream On." Mistak said that she enjoys Living Large in the Lounge for the networking. "A.S.I, is all about networking. That's why I love my position. I am able to promote the opportunity for idea sharing to everyone." Brett Gladys, the social programming director for A.S.I., said, "School sucks if you just come and go." It may not be as "tricky," as Dr. K emphasized in Run D.M.C.'s song, to spare an additional hour on campus to meet new people, enjoy a good laugh, and eat free food.

Past the payphones in the entryway, past the bar flies and the blue pool tables, we took a seat at one of the candle-lit tables. "Go get the book," I said. We were here for our fix, our karaoke fix. Smitty's Downtown, located in old downtown Vista on the corner of Santa Fe and Broadway, is a place "where good friends meet," as their sign boasts. The karaoke junkie can satisfy his or her needs, seven nights a week from 9 p.m. until closing. Smitty's has the best selection of songs; they've got everything from AC/DC to ZZ top, Skid Row to the Spice Girls. Anita, the heavy-metal goddess who DJs karaoke Sunday and Monday nights, has her own personal stash, provided for only those who are worthy of the rock. Sometimes if you are lucky enough Anita will sing DIO's "Holy Diver," and she sings it just like Ronnie James. "Ooh, ooh...To hold me, to scold me, cause when I 'm bad, I 'm sooo bad," sang Tuesday, February 24,2004 11 Linda, who comes to Smitty's with coworkers at least a few times a week, from "Last Dance," helping us all remember that disco just won't go away. Sally sang Three Dog Night's "Mama Told me Not to Come." It made me think Aretha Franklin had died and was reincarnated in Sally. "Stormin Norman, come up and sing your first song of the evening," the DJ said. "We've got Sarah on deck." Stormin' Norman sauntered through the crowd, wearing a ten gallon hat, Wrangler jeans and a rodeo belt buckle. Elvis returned to his country roots that night with Stormin' Norman's version of "Viva Las Vegas." "Sarah, come up and sing your first song," the DJ said. As I walked toward the stage my body felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. I picked up the microphone and I played the airkeyboard as the white letters spelling out the words to The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun" came up on the monitor. This may be a hard habit to break, and until I find the willpower, I may need to continue getting my fix by entertaining my adoring fans. 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Black History Month Soul Food Luncheon, admission $10 students, $15 faculty/staff, Clarke Field House.

Or so it would appear. In actuality, these three make up an amazing blend of musical talent known as Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio. The trio graced CSUSM's Performance Hall Feb. 16 with a 40 minute entourage of acoustical medleys. You could feel the energy emanating from the artists in the intimate theater where three rows of chairs were set up less than 10 feet from the performers for the sold out show. Vista resident Mark O'Connor has been composing since the age of thirteen, and is internation- ally acclaimed for his ability to mix classical violin with the raw abandon of fiddling. His body pulsed to the beat of his quick and clever strokes of the fiddle. With amazing slack in the flexibility of his right arm, O'Connor's bow sailed across the metal strings of his instrument with seemingly effortless accuracy. Standing in the middle was double bassist Jon Burr, who held his massive standing bass against his shoulder. Holding down the correct chords with his left hand, his right hand seemed to bumble clumsily to pluck the thick strings. The swift and responsive tempo he maintained, however, Photo by courtesy of Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio Mark O'connor, J on Burr and Frank Vignola bring local music of international acclaim to Cal State S an Marcos. was anything but clumsy. At the right of the trio sat guitarist Frank Vignola, whose nimble fingers stroked and plucked the strings to the delight of the audience's ears. With consummate accuracy he strummed out the tunes with his buddies, closing his eyes often as if the music were part of his soul. Taking cues from one another, the trio recreated classics like "Fascinating Rhythm" and brought poignant originals like Local band P.O.D rock a sold-out show at Cox Arena "Anniversary" to life.

By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Payable On Death aka P.O.D. returned to San Diego on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for a sold-out show with Linkin Park, Hoobastank and Story of the Year. Playing at SDSU's Cox Arena, P.O.D. performed some of their most popular songs, as well as a few off their new self-titled album. As the only band out of the four from San Diego, P.O.D.'s performance was widely anticipated. Floor access tickets sold out on the first day they were available for purchase, and tickets on ebay.com were selling for upwards of $100 in the days leading up to the concert. Since P.O.D.'s inception as a punk-rock garage band in Chula Vista, lead singer Sonny Sandoval has helped propel the group into the international limelight. Before kicking off the current "Meteora" tour with Linkin Park, P.O.D. performed for several months in Europe to promote their new CD. Headlining last Tuesday's show, Linkin Park proved musically to be the best of the four bands at the show. With the majority of their performance coming from their hugely popular album, "Hybrid Theory," they were able to get the somewhat disengaged crowd on their feet for the entire hour and a half that they played. Linkin Park was also the only band to attempt a series of slower songs with a young, energetic crowd when co-lead singer Mike Shinoda brought out a piano towards the end of the concert to give Chester Bennington the opportunity to show off Photo courtesy of Linkin Park his impressive voice. Hoobastank and Story of the Year, while receiving polite applause and moderate audience interaction, played well enough to deserve the honor of opening for Linkin Park. The highlight of the concert came in the encore, when Linkin Park brought out the lead singers from the first three bands to perform "One Step Closer"—arguably their most popular song. While Linkin Park dominated the show with theirflashyperformance, Sandoval showed that he's still in touch with his home crowd while proving P.O.D. to be thè most downto-earth of the bands that played. Before finishing off their set with their well-known "Southtown," Sandoval brought over a dozen local children onto the stage to help sing "Youth of the Nation." He then directed the 5,000-plus sellout crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to his nephew. The "Meteora" tour will move to the Midwest and the East Coast before returning for a last show at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. While Linkin Park will most likely wait to begin their next series of concerts, P.O.D. has already announced plans to kick o ffa headline tour with Blindside in Denver on May 1 of this year.

Their sound is made up of Michael Stipe sounding vocals, Grateful Dead reminiscent guitar and a Counting Crows-esque college radio friendly sound. Originally from Utah they have been warmly welcomed and adopted by the SoCal surfer scene since they settled in Oceanside four years ago. The band is made up of Mica Johnson doing vocals, Mike DiGregorio on bass, Nate Semerad and Shawn Ryan on guitar and Tim Haren on drums. They will be playing for their fans at San Marcos' new hot-spot The Blvd this Friday night.

Pride Correction : r egarding C al G rants ASI request for registration boxes denied By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The article "Cal Grants offered until March 2 " requires clarification. First off, Cynthia Silman was misquoted in the article in regards to the information about completing income taxes before completing the FAFSA form. The quote should read 'You don't have to complete 2003's income taxes prior to completing the 2004-2005 FAFSA form," meaning that the FAFSA can be completed before taxes, but taxes still must be prepared: the FAFSA form is not a substitute for a tax return. Silman would also like to emphasize that the process is not necessarily simple. The most important factor in determining Cal Grant ligibility is the completion of the FAFSA form. Once the FAFSA is ompleted, Cal Grant eligibility is checked automatically. The deadline is March 2 to complete the FAFSA so that Cal Grant eligibility can be checked. The best option for completing the FAFSA is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If an individual's income taxes tiave not been completed, those numbers can be estimated and corrected later. An Associated Students, Inc. proposal, had it been approved, would have made voter registration available in classrooms on campus. However, ASI was unable to initiate this program in time for this election cycle. The purpose of ASI's "Student Voter Registration Innovation 2004" was to encourage CSUSM students to vote. The TAX INCLUDED V OL.XI N O.18 proposal outlined a program in which voter registration card holders would have been placed in every classroom in Academic Hall. The idea was that if CSUSM students saw registration forms every time they went to class, they would be more likely to register to vote, said Erik Roper, ASI Vice President of External Affairs, who also drafted the proposal. "Realizing that we in the CSU have an obligation to provide every opportunity for our students to be responsible citizens in our democracy," the proposal says, "it seems only logical to use whatever legal means are at our disposal to See REGISTRATION, page 2 Lobby Corps to host clean money workshop By TOM PFENGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/The Pride Artist Chris Earnhart tatoos a black cross on the back of Mira Costa College student Heather Curtis, Feb. 14, at About Face Tatoo in Oceanside.

CSUSM's southern part of campus is surrounded by luxury apartment homes and several new housing tracks. The homes that sit on the hill overlooking campus are all still under construction and will continue to expand until approximately May of2005. Construction near CSUSM is expected to continue for the next few years. Last week, a worker sprayed down the excess dust to keep the air clean at a development site. i Photo by Zelynda Smith/The Pride The first track to finish building will be 'Campana and Savona at Rancho Coronado'. This housing track is built by Continental Homes of D.R. Horton company, a well-known name in North County housing developments. Although the first phase of this development is already completed and the majority of the existing houses are sold and occupied, another 200-plus homes will be added. Production will leave Rancho Coronado's development with 6 phases and over 600 new homes dedicated to stylish living. Rancho Coronado representative Nancy Whitton made it apparent last week that Continental Homes bought out this particular area because of the population that the university will eventually help blossom. "This area has a real potential for growth," Whitton said. "Universities ensure a city's reputation." This local development offers 13001600 square foot homes ranging from $350,000-$400,000. Catering to mainly In response to an April, 2003 resolution, Associated Students, Inc. will host a series of workshops this week to educate students on the details of Clean Money campaign finance reform. ASI hopes to spark an increase in student voting rates by bringing the campus up-to-date on the latest political trend—appropriately, one that makes the political process more accessible to students. With regards to why student political activity is so low, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper said, "There's this widespread discouragement" among students regarding the political process. "Most of them are totally disengaged." Noting that the CSU mission statement includes the goal of producing politically responsible citizens, Roper said that the Lobby Corps—the political branch of ASI-—hopes to promote student political involvement with its workshops next week. According to publicampaign.org, "Clean Money, Clean Elections" (CMCE) reform "allows qualified candidates to run for public office without compromising their independence since they won't have to ask for money from those with a vested interest in public policy." As opposed to privately-funded campaigns that consistently span into the millions of dollars, CMCE reform would make public funding available for anyone who could prove the legitimacy of their campaign. "It basically allows politicians, once elected, to not be beholden to special interests," Roper said of the CMCE movement. "The reason it was written in that we do these workshops before an election was to remind people how truly messed up our political campaign system is." After gathering a required number of signatures and small donations, candidates would be provided with a first installment of public campaign money for primary elections. Upon winning the primary, candidates would be granted money for the general election campaign.

They do have cases where 'mom and dad' have purchased the house first and the collegiate son or daughter are the only ones in occupancy. Directly across Village Drive is a housing development that hasn't yet broken ground, but is estimated at 300 homes, contracted by The Standard Pacific company. Construction on the first offivephases begins in a few months. Apartments are also booming. In fact, 'Prominence' has the best view of CSUSM. They enjoy a lovely gated community and, unlike the housing tracks, cater to the student population—but convenience isn't cheap. These luxury apartments start at $1,175 for a downstairs, 750 square foot apartment (1 bedroom, 1 bath). Even if students were to share this, they would be paying at least $590.00 apiece. Two bedrooms at Prominence start at $1,525 for 1,128 square feet. Price doesn't seem to be a big concern for the complex. Prominence representative Kelli Francis said that they get plenty of students who share an apartment. The only real problem is during Summer breaks when students migrate back to their hometowns. Students either need to break their existing lease or illegally sub-lease the unit for those cases. Francis said that although student accommodations need to be made, "Prominence isflexibleand understanding. The community is diverse and students help that." Even with an existing resident base, the building still hasn't stopped at Prominence, which is in the expansion process and is expecting 130 more units in the next 6 months. When they arefinishedthe complex will have over 500 units available. Francis concluded, "With all of the local developments popping up, we don't even feel threatened by competition.... We get a lot of people in that are waiting for their new home to be built." Whether new developments are catering to students or not, we can count on growth to persist. Location is everything. As long as there is a growing university and land to build on, buyers see potential. Homes in San Diego County alone put dollar signs in their eyes, and a university in the area ensures any buyer of community. WORKSHOP from page 1 CAL GRANT from page 1 Silman would also recommend that students pick up the booklet titled "Fund Your Future Workbook" which is available in thefinancialaid office, CRA 4204. This booklet, published by EdFund and the California Student Aid Commission, describes in detail the Cal Grant and its different classifications and awards. In addition, the booklet provides a wealth of websites about financial aid including information on scholarships.

By making voter registration easily accessible on campus, ASI hoped to play a role in reversing the trend of low voter turnout among 18-25 year olds. If registered, students would be more likely to show up to voting booths, the proposal states. A week before the start of the spring semester, Roper handed the proposal over to Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. According to Martinez, both she and Provost Robert Sheath admired the goal of the proposal. "Voter registration was a critical and important function for the ASI to take on with the university," she said. However, Martinez and Sheath raised some concerns about the proposal, which resulted in its not being executed as ASI had hoped. First of all, there was uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the voter registration holders located in classrooms. The material provided in classrooms might be ignored, and the faculty might not be able to provide answers for inquiring students, Martinez said. Students need "direct contact," she said, and "to have simply a stack [of papers] may not be the most effective way to bring that to students." Martinez and Sheath came up with an alternative, and urged ASI to place the registration card holders in areas of "high traffic" around campus, where students could ask questions about the registration process and be directed to ASI. Roper acknowledges the concerns over whether or not the caddies would be effective, and recognizes the effort that Martinez and Sheath gave in setting up other locations for the registration caddies, but asked, "How would the university administration know whether or not the plan would be effective unless they tested it? Which they didn't allow to happen." Roper also said that there were other concerns regarding the proposal, such as the possibility of faculty members becoming upset about the presence of the caddies on their desks, and that the caddies may become a source of clutter in and/or around the classroom. At an Academic Senate meeting that Roper attended in January, he said that he passed out copies of his proposal, and found overwhelming support from faculty. "Only one professor raised a hand to express disapproval of the proposal," he said. Martinez said that since faculty opinions on the matter may be different, she encouraged Roper to identify individual professors who would be willing to participate in the effort, and who would both encourage students to register and be open to having the registration material available in their classrooms. While the time has run out for this proposal to be implemented for these coming elections, the issue still remains an important one to Roper. He plans to pass the proposal onto the next person elected as ASI VP of External Affairs, hoping that the proposal will be pushed through for the November elections.

SEXY, SULTRY SUNTAN ^¿jTjAN �NEWS BRIEFS The Affordability in Higher Education Act (HR3311) amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to establish a new "college affordability index" for institutions of higher education, and create new reporting requirements and penalties for institutions that increase tuition and fees by more than twice the rate of inflation over any 3 year period. The bill was introduced into the House of Representatives on October 16,2003 by Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) Chairman, U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness and Rep. John A Boehner (R-OH), Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce. McKeon and Boehner's bill would not give the government any role in setting college costs, but beginning in 2011 the federal government would have the option of removing direct subsidies to institutions that repeatedly practice large tuition hikes. HR3311 has been under review in the U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness since November 11,2003.

The CSU also continues to show that a majority of its graduates are well educated in their subject matter in the annual evaluation survey of CSU teacher preparation programs, which surveys California K12 principals. The Cal State system has become the leader in alternative paths to certification, through its internship program, which combine teacher preparation coursework with full-time school district teaching jobs. It has also begun to recruit new and diverse students to the teaching field through outreach programs to over 27,000 high school, community college, and university student in the past year which is a 70 percent increase from the previous year.

Students from community colleges and the CSU and University of California systems are expected to participate. Leaders of higher education will speak about the impact that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 200405 budget proposal would have on students and also on future students seeking admittance to state universities.

Schwarzenegger's cuts to EOP By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter Associated Students, Inc., voted in favor of a resolution in support of EOP, outreach, and academic preparation programs within the CSU system. "Gov. Schwarzenegger has targeted EOP to be cut from the CSU system," said Erik Roper, ASI vice president of external affairs, "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity." ASI will join California State Student Association (CSSA) to oppose Gov. "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity" to find out how to get more campus involvement. The group proposed to increase advertising around campus, which would include, passing out programming board flyers at different locations of campus; incorporate sound in the Dome television announcements; begin a newsbroadcasting channel; and continue fighting against campus posting policy. "There is an overwhelming blur of posters. Involved students will stop and take a look, but uninvolved students do not," said O'Connor. An additional proposal was to create a "college hour" for activities to be scheduled. "One of the main complaints was events scheduled during class time," said Lee. A designated time for events will avoid any conflict with class time. ASI decided not to vote on a position for taking a position on fee referendums.

This is especially true since social attitudes towards tattoos in general have signifigantly changed in recent times. i ifflflil^yi D2DY & M on CRflirU/ By L AURA W HITAKER Pride S taff Writer Zzzzzzzzzzzzt. Dzzzt. Dzzzt. If you live life somewhere between pleasure and pain, this may be one of your favorite sounds. Once reserved for sailors and whores in American folklore, tattoos today have carved their niche in the main stream as a means of personal expression, style, and body art. According to Tod Bain, a lifetime artist, and tattoo artist at About Face Tattoo in Oceanside for over four years, most people get tattoos right now because they are so popular. Although this allure for tattoos might make someone more open to getting one, students at CSUSM seem to have a few different reasons for acquiring permanent ink in their flesh. "I've done martial arts for twenty-two years," said senior, history, Duane Burns. "It symbolizes my experiences in the martial arts." Burns has three Chinese symbols on his right arm, and a dragon on his left. In contrast, Sarah Sutton, junior, said, "I woke up one morning and I needed a tattoo." Sutton opted for . a color tattoo in the middle of her upper back. As with many students, her main hurdle for living with her tattoo was her parents. Sutton said that the first thing her mom said when she found out about her tattoo was, "What are you going to do on your wedding day?" Senior Lora Rodstein, who got her first of two tattoos seven years ago, had more serious problems with her parents. "It's against Judaism to desecrate your body like that," said Rodstein. Luckily, her parents have come to terms with her tattoos, and she does not regret them. On the other hand, some students get tattoos specifically for religious reasons, like Les Condalor, who got a large tattoo of a cross on his right arm about a year ago. Some students, however, find less appeal in the idea of being marked forever. Sophomore Alise Battaglia said, "I don't want something on me for the rest of my life that I might regret someday." Battaglia's comment raises the question of whether or not people who are more established in life are getting tattoos, or regretting them. Local businesswoman Melinda Eisenhower, assistant vice president for a property management corporation in San Diego, got herfirsttattoo when she was 23. At that time in her life, she said she recalled thinking, "When they do an autopsy on me, when I'm an old lady, they'll think I am wild." Even though Eisenhower had her first tattoo "covered up," or altered, she has gone in for two more tattoos since then, one of which covers her entire back. The tattoo, which she had done in the last year, is in response to the passing of her husband. As a healing practice, Eisenhower explained, "It's a very transforming experience." Although most students with tattoos seem unconcerned with heir tattoos having had a negative effect on their lives professionally or socially, they may have a few kinks to work out in the future. Eisenhower explained that she has never had any trouble at work because of her tattoos, but relinquished that they also don't really show. She is careful that they are covered when she is meeting new clients. As far as people she has encountered everyday, however, she has had a few negative experiences. Eisenhower said that once a woman in a department store commented that she was ignorant and stupid because she had allowed herself to be tattooed. Eisenhower also related other common incidents of people seeing her tattoos and associating that with her being an "easy" woman. 18-year-old freshman Keith Kramer, had his last name tattooed on the back of his arm in the last year because of what he called a "spur of the moment thing." For those interested in getting tattoos, the process can be somewhat painful, and involves tattoo machines, often called "guns" by those less savvy to the industry. The machines plug into a power supply, and usually use between three and nine needles depending on the thickness of the line being drawn, and whether or not the area is being shaded. Tattoo artist Tod Bain has the right side of his chest tattooed, his whole left arm, called a sleeve, and most of his right arm which is still a work in progress. Bain said he obtained some of his tattoos because they are symbolic of different things in his life, and "some just 'cause I like 4 em." Bain is also lucky enough to have a job that he loves, his favorite part of which is, "being able to express myself daily." As far as cost, Bain said a tattoo would probably run between $50 for something small, and $4000 for a large piece, such as back piece. Tattoos can be designed specifically for an individual, or chosen from artwork called "flash" off of the wall of a tattoo parlor. Tattoos are a dynamic outlet for selfexpression that does require a cost/benefit assessment. "Make sure you know what you want," Bain said. "It's forever." �University Voice What do you t hink a bout; « I » mI ill k V ¿/M same-sex W ! H I f » » ml 1••j B=*i ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter The Oxford dictionary defines marriage as a "legal" union between a man and a woman for the purpose of "living together." Dictionary.com has seven entries relating to marriage, and only one of them relates to man and woman. It's becoming a hotly contested debate, and on one side there are religious and spiritual leaders adamantly opposed to same sex marriages, quoting the bible and referring to the destruction of Sodom and Gomora. In their eyes, God has decreed homosexuality a sin and any sign of approval of such behavior is clearly wrong according to God. This group believes that gays and lesbians "choose" this lifestyle, that they weren't born this way and could live a "straight" life if they really wanted to. The other side of the equation is the gay community itself, trying to obtain the same rights that married straight couples enjoy. As persecuted as the gay community has been, they argue, why would we choose this lifestyle? What is the difference between a man and a woman being married for twenty years and a man and a man, or a woman and a woman? With recent debate in Massachusetts on this very issue, The Pride hit the campus to see what the student pulse is on this contentious issue. "I'm all for it, I believe in the sanctity of love, not institutions. If we're as free a country as we say we are, we shouldn't have restrictions on how we love," said literature major Polly Charenquanchai. Luis Arreola, junior, history major, cocked his head to one side and thought about it for a moment, then said, "Nah, I don't have a problem with gay marriage, as long as it makes those people happy." "They should be able to do what they want to, I think equal rights for everyone," said Ryan Kennedy, graduate student, literature. "They want everyone to think like they do," he continued. "They're (religious groups opposed to same-sex marriages) afraid of people who think outside their belief system." Jessica Fowler, junior business major, paused and took time to think before replying to how she felt about gay marriage. "I don't have a problem with gay people, I have gay friends it's just that...I'm unsure whether it's right socially, biologically or spiritually...I'm not sure it's right for our society." Paula McCoglan senior, communications, said, "I think the government should get out of the business of marriage, we shouldn't allow the government to favor one group over another." McCoglan explained her solution as one where couples, two consenting adults, present themselves to the government and register as domestic partners. The government then bestows the same benefits heterosexual couples receive through the government through marriage to samesex couples. If a couple wants to get m arried P however * fh P ' . McCoglan Q? P c ontinued they r can then ' ^ P go to a ^téÂCkMJ^ — ^^-- * c hurch, and that individual church, can decide who they want to "marry." McCoglan's solution of registering domestic partners sounds an awful lot like Oxfords definition of marriage, minus the exclusive "man and woman" part. This issue of debate probably won't be solved tomorrow, but more voices in the gay community are being heard. Not this election, but sometime soon, this issue will determine a presidency.

Photo by Ashley Renzy/ The Pride Cindy Pinhal is on exchange f rom France and assists the French department. Pinhal has been on exchange since August, and enjoys the interactive approaches to teaching she has found here in the states. French connection with CSUSM Highlighting some of the differences with American andFrench universities By ASHLEY RENZY Pride Staff Writer At a French University the professor just shows up, lectures and leaves; not leaving any time for questions, feedback or office hours. "There is no syllabus, and no attendance requirements," said Cindy Pinhal. "School is completely the student's responsibility." Cindy Pinhal is an assistant to French professor Dr. Anover, on exchange from France. CSUSM offers study abroad programs to students, as well as two different teacher exchange programs. After completing her master's, Pinhal arrived to the United States last August to assist in the teaching of a few French classes for the spring semester. At the end of the semester, Pinhal hopes to stay here in the United States to finish her Ph.D., or return to France for a short while in high hopes of attaining a teaching job at a university back here in the states. Differentiating between the French and American school systems, Pinhal described how college in France is not necessar- ily easier, just focused differently. In France, the competition is with yourself more than with other students. At the end of high school in France, before graduation, there is a difficult exam, lasting one week, to test skills acquired in every subject. With passing this exam, the student is automatically registered in one of his or her top three choices of universities. Students attending the university pay $400 a year. The school days are also much different from those in America; classes go for an entire year, rather than by semester. A typical weekly school schedule is Mon. through Fri., 8a.m. until 5p.m. "There is no choice in customizing a class schedule," she said. "As a result most students cannot work during school and must live with their parents." Pinhal described the school system in France as "very impersonal." "There is no personal contact with students," she said. A more interactive education leads to better grades, and in an environment like this, if the students do not understand they can ask questions during, class or can go to the professor's office hours. "These outside resources really help them (students) to understand the subject matter better," she said. "I love the way teaching is done here," said Pinhal. "The only thing I do not like is the instability of the occupation. Here, there is a lot to worry about with budget cuts, competition and tenure." "In France once you are hired and go through a one-year training," she said. "You are certain that you have your job for life (and) that is a big security issue." For the students currently enrolled at CSUSM, Cindy Pinhal personally invites you to come to France. "The more students that come to France the better; it is a very widespread and popular culture," she said. "Do not be discouraged if you are not fluent in the language, because a lot of English is spoken there as well." Finance and Economic society meeting Wed. By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer The Finance and Economic Society (formerly known as the Finance Club), had its first membership meeting last Wednesday night, supplied with extra pizza and soda. An upcoming meeting will be held this Wednesday, Feb. 18, where Fred Gerson, chieffinancialofficer of the San Diego Padres, will be speaking to the group about his job. More speakers are scheduled to appear later this semester; both are chief financial advisers, one is from the San Diego Zoo and the other is from the City of Carlsbad. The Finance and Economic Society does a variety of things that range from helping students at Cal State San Marcos control their personal finances, handling company finances and helping students find quality jobs after completing college. The goal of the Finance and Economics Society, as stated by president Greg Lucas, is "to benefit the students without burdening them." Lucas said some societies tend to put pressure on their members, and the point of this society is to aid, not overwhelm, students. This is one of the many new clubs on campus and would be ideal for students majoring in business, although all majors are accepted and encouraged to join the society. The society's vice president of technology, Kat Mulkahy, will give an upcoming seminar on managing personal finances. �Jock Talk with Josh Ephedra is a dangerous short cut By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo by Jennifer Jones/ The Pride Jeff Brown i nstructs a Krav Maga student. Krav Maga class is o ffered through A SI Leisure a nd Fitness c ourses in t he Clarke Field House. Krav Maga attunes self-defense tactics with natural instincts By JENNIFER JONES Pride StaffWriter If you were one of the relatively few people to see Jennifer Lopez kick the crap out of her abusive husband in the movie "Enough," you probably thought to yourself, "yeah right." The technique Lopez displayed is called Krav Maga, and it is being taught right here at CSUSM. Krav Maga is a practical method of self-defense. It combines the physical elements of traditional martial arts, but is designed to rely more on a person's instinctive defensive reactions to a street situation. It has become a popular form of self-defense because it is easy to learn and teaches the student to use thier natural instincts in a given situation. Krav Maga also teaches techniques to use while under pressure, such as low light, or even lying down, because such circumstances are often present in street confrontations. Krav Maga has less to do with the tradition of martial arts, such as bowing and other forms of the art, which can be for sport, but rather is more reality based so that one will have the skills to turn natural reactions into life saving moves. The only fight there needs to be is the last fight. One learns that when in a vulnerable or dangerous situation, to use whatever means nec- essary. "The motto here is attack, attack, attack," said Krav Maga instructor Jeff Brown, "right, wrong, it doesn't matter as long as you hit 'em." Jeff Brown is a decorated martial artist interested in bringing Krav Maga onto the college because, "Everyone, especially every female, should know how to defend him or herself." For women that may be kicking an attacker in the groin. For men it may be punching them in the nose or throat. Brown tells his students to "never give up your weapon, because if you give up your weapon, you're dead." For law enforcement officers that might mean a-gun, in this situation the weapon is your body. Brown said that most attacks are against women; "There is so much crime and violence today and everybody has the right to defend themselves." "I'm going home and practice on my husband." said Madaline Aragone, junior, liberal studies. Garrett Collin, a staff member, is taking the class to get more exercise, "I'm going to try to stay with it the whole time [six weeks]." Each class builds on the previous but in the first half there will be a review of the basic techniques for newcomers. Krav Maga is just one pf nine different classes offered in the ASI Group Fitness and Leisure Courses program. If self-defense is not your idea of fun, maybe trying Ashtanga Yoga or Gypsy Style Belly Dance would be a better suit. Also offered are more traditional fitness classes such as Circuit Training or Step Aerobics. These are just a few of the different classes available for students at the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union. All of these classes are free to students, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to get in shape and have fun. "The ASI Leisure and Fitness classes are a great way for students, faculty, and staff to stay active, meet new people, and explore new talents they may not have known they had," said Laurence Bolotin, ASI coordinator of student programs and services. The Krav Maga Martial Arts class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no registration required for these classes. You can try them all if you like, and find the one that suits you best. Students interested in classes are advised to come ten minutes early to the class of choice, get a wristband at the ASI Adventure Center and start having fun. Some people are always looking for a shortcut; or some sort of advantage that will give an upper hand without much effort. Typically, the reason being that there just are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done; prioritization is crucial. Some people strive to look physically attractive, however, not all of these people are willing to put in the extra effort needed to lose weight or bulk up, because it takes time, and a lot of effort. Time is something many people do not have in their busy schedules. The business world knows that the average person does not have the time to exercise multiple hours in a day. Herbal companies create supplements that contain ephedrine (ephedra for short) designed to aid in weight loss and body building for athletes. When the average person looking to trim down hears about these miracle products that helps weight loss, he or she runs out and tries it. What the average person does not know is that ephedra based supplements are extremely dangerous. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) there have been a total of 155 deaths linked to ephedra. One of those 155 deaths was Korey Stringer of the National Football League (NFL). In 2002, Stringer suffered a heart attack, and died moments later during a pre-season workout with the Minnesota Vikings. The cause of the heart attack was linked to the combination of excessive heat and ephedra. In 2003, another one of the 155 deaths occurred on a playing field. Steve Bechler was a young, right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles. Bechler was a little over weight, and was taking an ephedra based supplement to help lose some extra pounds. During a spring training workout in Florida, Bechler collapsed, and suffered a heat stroke where shortly thereafter he died. Sales of ephedra products dropped shortly after the death of Bechler, but the product is still being bought by many. If athletes who should be physically superior to the normal person can die from using ephedra, then the average person can suffer complications just as easily. The FDA has banned ephedra from being sold after early April, which is consequently causing many people to rush out and buy as much of the supplement as possible before the April 12 deadline. This ban on ephedra will be the first ban of a diet supplement in government history. Metabolife was one of the companies affected by the bad press. The company has stopped the sale of ephedra supplements, but Metabolife is sticking by their claim that ephedra is safe to use. "Metabolife believes their products are safe and effective when used as directed," said spokeswoman Jan Strode. With the ban on ephedra, another supplement is soon to be created to take its place. The FDA has stated that they will keep a close eye on what ingredients will be replacing ephedra. The NFL and MLB are two organizations that will also be keeping a close eye on the new supplements. The NFL has always been very strict with their substance abuse policy, which extends to supplements such as ephedra. The MLB has never had a substance abuse policy like the NFL where players are required to take drug tests, but MLB is changing its ways. Starting this season, MLB will conduct drug tests for the first time ever. It will be quite interesting to see which players come into this baseball season with a lot less muscle. Athletes, however, are not the only ones who feel the need to lose some weight. Many college students turn to supplements in order to lose weight, especially with the thought of becoming a victim of the "freshman 15." Professor at CSUSM, Ileen Miller, who also works as a nutritionist for Cal-a-Vie said, "The average student gains 15 pounds freshman year." With the concern of weight gain, some students may choose to take that shortcut rather than exercise and carefully watch what they eat. Even if you are not an athlete, know what you are putting in your body and ask yourself if taking that massive shortcut is worth the risk.

Over the years, time seems to go faster and slower. One day you are sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, next you are punching your thoughts into a keyboard to meet deadlines. During all of this, it's important to set aside some time from the daily hustle to say thank you. Walking out of class and out to the parking lot is a good time for that. The sunset yesterday lined the horizon with radiance after class. Students finishing up for the day flooded the walkways in a hurry to exit the campus. What was next? Rushing home to get ready for work? Slowing down for five seconds, looking up to the sky and saying thank you will give you a refreshed perspective. It makes people think about what they have to be thankful for. Then step into the car for the ride home. Taking the time to slow down will make the ride easier, smarter and more enjoyable. It's like smelling the air after it rains. These are the things that we should take the time to notice. With everything that happens at this campus, being late for classes, rushing through traffic, cars and construction, it's important to just stop.

BIER NUTS By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Superstores such as Wal-Mart have become such a part of our retail landscape that many cannot imagine what life was like before them. It takes me 10 minutes to get on the freeway at my entrance when it used to take 2 minutes. The days of mom and pop stores are left to the memories of, well, our moms and our pops. And if they came over to visit they would definitely complain about the traffic too. These superstores have everything, a large selection of most of what we need for our daily lives, all at affordable prices and with the great convenience of everything in one place. Some of us may remember even a few years ago, when large stores such as Kmart and Pic N ' Save were going strong. The only advantage to these stores was price. Typically, they were a mess and most of the merchandise was junk. If your Mom bought your school clothes there, you were not cool and you knew it. The other kids in your school knew it too. The differences in quality and image between what products Wal-Mart carries and what, for example, Bed, Bath By: Chad • 'SARAH R JWN X HAVE A TATTOO... W A M A SB F? and Beyond or even Old Navy carries are becoming less and less. In addition, today's WalMart is stocking the latest CDs and home electronics, all at very competitive prices. Everything is in its place, the piles of j unk we remember at chain stores even a few years ago are nowhere in sight at today's WalMart. These superstores are not lazy, either. They are working very hard to fill in the holes and offer us more and more, all at great prices and in great supply, so you can always find what you're looking f or—price, convenience, selection and quality, all in one. So we all win, right? Yes and no. All of this convenience and affordability comes at a cost. You don't have to be that old to remember the stores in your community that your local Wal-Mart replaced. After all, people have always needed socks, toothpaste and the latest Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts movie. So where have all the old stores gone? They have disappeared. The idea of a local merchant whose name you knew and who knew yours is as much a part of history as the local soda shop. When we consider quality of life, when we think about the few extra dollars lining our pockets because of cheaper superstore prices, we should not forget the enjoyment of shopping, the comfort of personal service and sales people and merchants who knew their products and their customers. The experience of shopping among friends in a smaller, more comfortable setting cannot be matched by the •: - Photo by Jon Rodley/The Pride Cars line a parking lot at the San Marcos Wal Mart Friday. Large stores bring more than goods when they open. industrial experience found at the superstores. So while we may be thankful for those few dollars a week we save by shopping at Wal-Mart, we should ask ourselves what have lost in the bargain? Where has the sense of community gone? Has it come down to passing the people that we know in the isle but not stopping to ask how they are because we don't have enough time? Has time its self gotten shorter some how by the advent of convenience? Or, do we have so much time that we feel obligated to fill it up with the things that shouldn't matter to us?

After sharing my thoughts on the errors in our newspaper in last week's column, it seems like I sparked an exponential growth of errors in this week's edition. In fact, I was so troubled by the increase that I felt compelled to do some research into how other ombudsmen handle the subject of errors. Gina Lubrano is the Readers Representative for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Her column from January 12, 2004 dealt specifically with the subject of errors. In a no nonsense statement, Lubrano opens her column by stating simply "it would be a mistake to say errors in newspa- pers are inevitable." From that, I thought about how to apply Lubrano's idea to what I had written last week. I would agree with Lubrano that there should be no "inevitable" errors. In other words, there should never be a time in which we, as reporters and editors of this publication, default to accept that there will be some errors in each edition of The Pride.

Race matters at CSUSM By JASON ROBBINS Pride StaffWiiter There is little doubt that society is as equal as it should be. But could inequality fester within the halls of our own cozy university? In a place where a statue of Cesar Chavez seems to welcome all, inequality is indeed a reality. The term "inequality of condition" refers to differences in people's living standards or conditions. The distribution of those enrolled in college is just one measure of such standards. At CSUSM, certain ethnic/racial groups are not distributed in proportion to their overall population size. As of fall 2003, the student body was 53 percent Caucasian, 18.04 percent Latino, 9.4 percent Asian and 2.7 percent African American. The problem here is that California's population is 59 percent Caucasian, 32.4 percent Latino, 10.9 percent Asian, and 6.7 percent African American (U.S Census). For whatever sociological or conservative reason you may want to offer up, the distribution of Latinos and African Americans within our student body is not proportionate to those groups presence in California. The disproportions equate to an inequality of condition with the condition being educational LETTERS TO TH I noticed a few things in the Feb. 3rd issue that I'd like to discuss. Budget cuts seemed to be the topic of the day in the recent issue, and we were advised by the Chancellor to support proposition 55, a measure that would allow bonds to help "balance" the budget. This is akin to using a credit card to pay your late rent. I'm actually quite surprised that the Chancellor could support this kind of financial irresponsibility in a budget crisis such as this. Which brings me to my fact and quote must be checked to ensure that accuracy is maintained. As student journalists, we cannot afford to appear sloppy or apathetic towards errors and must proactively address the topic. Indeed, most of the errors that I write come from my own critique of The Pride or from the editor or reporter who has worked on the particular story in question. That fact stresses our commitment to accuracy and accountability when we have erred. After all, as Lubrano explains, "credibility is at stake." And credibility is something that will do the best job. An alarming number of Republicans felt that Tom McClintock was the better candidate, yet they voted for the Terminator because he had a better chance to win. Many Democrats were upset with the shady financial dealings of Cruz Bustamante, yet seemed to have no problem voting for his lack of integrity. Even Peter Camejo talked about the ISSUES, while the 2 biggest candidates slung mud. In addition, many of my classmates remind me how the Terminator is a horrible attainment. The relationship between race/ ethnicity and higher education exhibited at CSUSM is endemic to the nation itself. Out of 17,408,664 American college students, 71.5 percent are White, 10.6 percent are Latino, and 7 percent are AfricanAmerican. Yet the American populace is 12.5 percent Latino and 12.3 percent African American. The same type of disproportionate ethnic representation at CSUSM appears to exist at colleges across America. An inequality of condition of educational attainment is exceptionally significant because college degrees yield social resources: money, prestige, etc. For minority groups who hold lesser shares, education is one way to achieve more social equality. It is clear that the instrument of change is most accessible to the most powerful and wealthy. To attain positions of organizational authority (where power often resides), one must necessarily earn some type of college degree. One must also possess a degree in order to accumulate substantial wealth (how power is often purchased). Moreover for groups who wish to initiate positive social change, higher education is an excellent tool. The problem at CSUSM and throughout the nation is that the distribution of African Americans, Latinos and other minority groups in college is a condition that needs to be adjusted. First someone must properly address the cause(s) of such inequalities. Maybe not all people have an equal opportunity to be welcomed by Cesar Chavez. DITOR choice for governor. And how many of those classmates actually voted in the election? To date, none. We're continually complaining about our officials, on a state and national level, yet we do nothing about it. When measures are in the legislature that we disapprove of, how many of us actually write our elected representatives to let them know how their constituents feel? We must never forget that they serve us, not the other way around. The pride needs to get the message out. Get the sheep off their couches, and get them to the ballot box. Get them to the post office, enormous stacks of correspondence to their representatives in hand. I've written to mine, voicing opposition to more borrowing to "balance" the budget. I challenge all of you who disagree with me to fight for your views, as well. After all, that's what representative democracy is all about. James Fitzer �Eat your heart out Hallmark; Shakespeare brings the love By JONATHON RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The fat belly and red wings of Cupid idled on the wall looking out at 30 or so students enamored by Shakespeare Thursday night. CSU San Marcos students read all 154 of Shakespeare's "Sonnets" in honor of Valentine's day. "Not marble, not the gilded monuments / Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme" quoted Shakespeare in the fifty fifth of his love poems. The Medieval Roundtable Club hosted the poetry marathon to provide an alternative to a typical "hallmark" event. "We decided to have something a little more intellectual," said Bridget Wiese, president of the club. Instead of red roses and fluffy love poems, the club handed out condom roses and lubricants during the reading. Wiese said the poems are f ull of darkness, pain and sexual affairs. Many people read the "Sonnets" thinking Shakespeare wrote them to a woman. In reality, he wrote them to fair young man, she said Throughout the reading children ran in and out of the room playing games, while couples huddled and friends mingled. It took about two hours to complete the sonnet cycle. "I think it went really well, we had a great turnout," Wiese said. The Medieval Roundtable Club plans to host several film viewings later this semester with Dr. Heather Hayton's classes.

The film that was shown, titled "Secret Passage," is on "a great topic," said Sepinwall who has been a professor at CSUSM Photo courtesy of Secret Passage Venitian Noble Paulo Zane stares offscreen at Clara while being tipped off to Isabel's schemes. "Seeing the 16th century brought back to life will provide details about the way people act that you can't get from books," Sepinwall said. She said this film could help students to understand "the human "... it's a vibrant and factor" of events like the Inquisition.

They are forced to convert to Catholicism while living in Spain yet they continue to remain faithful to their Jewish faith by practicing in private. As such, they still feel the pressure of living in the overwhelmingly Catholic European continent. The sister's lives become filled with conflicts as Isabel tries to escape and move the family to Istanbul. Clara falls in love with a Venetian noble, Paolo Zane played by John Turturro. Clara, not wanting to leave her lover, allows her emotions to overcome both her faith and her loyalty to her sister and writes a letter to the count of Venice outlining Isabel's plan of escape. The story ends as Isabel is arrested while Clara, now repentant for what she has done, completes the task of moving her family to Istanbul. Isabel goes to her death denying the cross of Christ and vocally declaring her allegiance to Judaism as she is drowned. In a question and answer session following the film, Sepinwall said that the film was "historically based" although the story is unique to the film. An interesting perspective brought up in the discussion was that of relations between Jews and non-Jews in 16th century Europe. "Sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews were a big anxiety for the authorities," Sepinwall said. That explanation relates why Clara could have possibly chosen her family over her love at the end of the film. Sepinwall who received forty tickets to the film festival for her students paid for by the Funes Fund, which provides moneys so that students can attend visual and performing arts events, was excited about student involvement. "Its great going to the festival with the community, it's a vibrant and lively experience that is a major event," she said. Sepinwall especially enjoys films that have discussion afterwards, "hearing people ask questions and hearing their responses gives an experience that seeing a film in class just doesn't do." 'Hidalgo': an American legend ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter In the theater the air is filled with anticipation and suspense, not from waiting for the movie to start but from walking back and forth trying to find a seat. I'm at an advanced screening for the film "Hidalgo." The movie is based on the true story of the life of Frank T. Hopkins a.k.a. Blue Child and his wild mustang, Hidalgo. Viggo Mortensen of "Lord of the Rings" fame plays Hopkins as a savage, wild and rugged man who is just as tough as his horse; The bond between Hopkins and Hidalgo is one that surpasses all human understanding. They are best friends and they are brothers. The story begins when Blue Child, who is Caucasian and Native American, witnesses the massacre of his people by the cavalry at the Battle of Wounded Knee. Struggling to find his place in American culture, Blue Child drinks constantly and he is always drunk when he performs on the "Wild Bill Hickock" show with Hidalgo. It is during one such performance that an Iraqi sheik becomes offended by Hopkins' billing. Wild Bill announces him as the world's greatest rider on the most famous horse. The sheik then challenges Blue Child to prove himself in the 3,000 mile race across the desert sands of Syria and the Arabian Desert called the Ocean of Fire. The victor is to walk away with $100,000. Throughout the film there are twists and turns that kept Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Frank T. Hopkins rode a mustang against the finest Arabian horses. the audience on the edge of their seats. It is action and suspense all rolled in together as Hidalgo and Hopkins narrowly escape the dangers of this race. The climax rises and falls from scene to scene until finally, the moment everyone we were waiting for, a horn sounds as the horses are seen in the distance approaching the finish line. Don't leave your seats to get popcorn because you will miss out on a great ending. Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Viggo Mortensen plays Frank T. Hopkins a legendary American cowboy who raced across the Arabian Desert in a 3,000 mile survival race. This film is not j ust about horse races or a man's personal search to put the pieces of his life together. Its not just about the bond between a man and his horse.

Removed Then Reinstated from page 1 The BOD met on Jan. 31 to discuss and vote on the issue o f Patel's reinstatement. Patel, in a brief statement to the BOD, admitted missing the retreat due to an unexpected family emergency and asked to be reinstated. The vote to reinstate Patel was unammous. Last spring, Shannon Tweed, a human development major, was elected to the BOD as the College o f A rts and Sciences representative, also missed a retreat due to a death in her family, and she was removed from her position on the BOD. Unlike Patel, Tweed was not reinstated. During the discussion portion o f Patel's appeal, Alan Smith, College o f Education representative, questioned why Patel should be reinstated for missing a retreat due to a family emergency when Tweed was denied reinstatement for the same reason. Erik Roper, ASI vice president o f communications, said his decision to vote against reinstating Tweed was based on his understanding that Tweed was not going to attend the retreat originally because she was going to attend a wedding. Although Roper admitted that his information could be considered hearsay, he felt that Tweed's subsequent family emergency didn't justify [Tweed's] reinstatement because she was going to miss the retreat anyway. When asked what she thought o f Roper's statements at the BOD meeting, Tweed, who was in attendance at the recent BOD meeting, replied that she was "shocked," and added that even though Roper admitted his information was hearsay, " It bothers [her] that no one has asked [her] to tell [her side o f the story]." After the elections in the spring o f 2002, a three-day ASI retreat was scheduled for June, immediately following final exams. According to Patel, the purpose o f the " summer" retreat is for the new BOD members to get to know each other, to set goals, and to learn about their jobs and the ASI organization. Tweed said that she advised Brown that she would miss the retreat because o f an out o f town wedding, and that Brown changed the dates o f the retreat to accommodate Tweed. because the only body that meets over the summer is the executive committee. Brown added that the executive committee makes all o f the decisions until the BOD begins to meet in the fall. Tweed explained she missed the retreat anyway because her grandmother died right before Tweed claims she didn't get a finals.

Brown also said that Tweed's appeal was done verbally and that the executive committee voted to reject the appeal and selected a replacement for her last fall. When asked why only the executive committee decided on Tweed's appeal, when Patel's appeal was voted on by the entire BOD, Brown explained it was Brown was asked i f Tweed was treated differently than Patel because the executive committee thought she was lying about the reason she missed the retreat.

Brown added that she was hesitant to discuss Shannon's case because a lot o f the discussion between them was done privately in closed sessions. Brown did reiterate that the situations o f Tweed and Patel were unrelated. When Tweed was asked i f Patel should have been denied reinstatement, she said, "No. I 'm glad they kept Arti. [Patel] works hard and deserves her position." Tweed explained that she felt she was treated differently from Patel, in part because she " wasn't a part o f [the executive committee] group," because she had run on a different slate than Patel and Brown. However, Brown said, " half o f the voting executive members [did not run] on my slate [either]." Tweed pointed out that " they replaced me with someone who didn't go to the retreat either."

For this reason he founded the Association for the Study o f Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study o f Afro-American Life and History) in 1915 to promote the integration o f blacks into history books. Then, in 1916, he founded the widely respected Journal ofNegro History. Already known for his work in the black community, Woodson was far from done. His crowning achievement came in 1926 with the inception o f Negro History Week, the second week in February. The week was chosen because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln share birthdays during that week. Since this remembrance has been adapted and lengthened to Black History Month, there has been a long running joke that February was selected because it is the shortest month o f the year. The fact remains that there are a number o f significant reasons as to why February remains the month to celebrate AfricanAmerican history: • On Feb. 23, 1868, W.E.B. Dubois, a civil rights leader and co-founder o f the National Association for the Advancement o f Colored People (NAACP), was born. • O n Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed. This granted black people the right to vote. • On Feb. 25, 1870, Hiram R. Revels took office as the first black Senator in United States History. • On Feb. 12, 1909, the NAACP was founded. • O n Feb. 1, 1960, a group o f black Greensboro, N.C. college students began a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in what would become a civilrights movement milestone. • O n Feb. 21, 1965, three black Muslims shot the militant black leader who promoted Black Nationalism, Malcolm X, to death. Although Woodson and others like him have helped in the effort to bring neutral, balanced and unbiased records to academia there is still much work to be done. Only with similar continued efforts can the U.S. history be interpreted accurately.

By 1880, Edison had developed the basic technology to record and play back sound. The first phonograph was a device comprised o f a cylinder, wrapped in a sheet o f foil. As Edison spoke a child's poem into a mouthpiece attached to the cylinder, sound waves caused a needle to make dents in the foil. Playback involved merely reversing the operation - and " Mary Had a Little Lamb" became part of the U.S. sound history.

McConnell, S ee S OUNDS, page 12 �FEATURE THE.PRIDE er a e By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer There is a special group o f people at Cal State San Marcos. They are international students. These students come from all over the world, in search o f higher education and in hope o f unlimited opportunities. There are approximately 100 full time international students enrolled this semester at CSUSM. Countries as far away as Yemen, Oman, and Greece are represented, along with countries as close as Canada and Mexico. - order to breathe their first fresh breath o f air in America. This feeling o f euphoria dies quickly, and panic sets in when all o f the pre-departure preparations are put to the test. Will there be a place to live? Will I get all my classes? Questions such as these may plague the students' minds for weeks. Although a scenario like this may not be the case for every international student, it gives some insight into what obstacles must be overcome when traveling around the world to receive higher education. Traveling over these great distances to vacation is comprehendible to most students, but imagine what it would be like to travel half way around the world to attend school for an extended period o f time. Takashi Sasaki, who has participated in several international student programs in the U.S., shares many o f the same feelings o f frustration and stress expressed in this fictional portrayal. "The language and everyday life are the most difficult," said Sasaki. Upon getting off o f the airplane, after a twenty hour flight, many international students may feel that their eyes have gotten so blurry that they can barely read the signs directing them where to go. I t may don upon her/him that, although they have a fairly good grasp on the English language, the option to speak in their native language is no longer available. The reality o f the situation is that international students now have to eat, sleep, and speak English every minute o f every day. "The most simple tasks such as setting up a bank account, or going grocery shopping, sometimes end up to be the most difficult thing to do," said Sasaki. He also remarked that everyday life was only a portion o f the problems that international students face. In many instances, financial matters and immigration regulations can be the biggest bump in the road for international students. They can most likely expect a wonderful greeting from the infamously unfriendly U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). An intense interrogation, in English, with an inspector usually leads to a frenzy o f stamping, stapling, folding, and more stamping of immigration documents. On most occasions, it is to the delight o f the international student that they are informed o f the processing fees, and a secondary inspection, where the student's bags will be t om open and searched vigorously. Usually, after spending a considerable amount o f time repacking all o f their extremely personal items, international students finally will get the chance to step out of the front doors o f the terminal, in When asked why he chooses to continue to stay in the U.S., Sasaki said that the experience was a once in a lifetime chance, and the people and opportunities available are unlike anywhere else in the world. I t is this uniquely positive attitude that often keeps international students from being deterred b y the ofistacles that often come up while working toward a degree in a foreign country. Danielle McMartin, who has been the international advisor for CSUSM's Global Affairs Office for two and h alf years, is all too familiar with the problems that an international student will inevitably face. Me Martin has been working in the field o f student affairs for a total o f 15 years. Tuesday, February 1 8,2003 5 a • I She remarked that like American students, international students face the same worries o f getting all o f their classes, achieving good grades, and graduating as quickly as possible. However, she also notes the differences that set international students in a league o f their own. Since the events o f 9/11, rules and regulations have become even more strict. The I.N.S. now operates a computer-based system called SEVIS, which requires educational institutions to report the status o f all o f their foreign students. Additionally, the I.N.S. implemented tighter restrictions "There is a lot o f family pressure on on foreign students studying within the international students," said Me Martin.

For most international students, a major challenge can be to live within the rules and regulations set forth by the I.N.S. Most intematioJ_?.al students in the U.S. are permitted to study and live here, based on the fact that they obtain an F-1 Visa. This visa requires that students must keep a full time status at their school, which is 12 units or more, complete their course o f study i n a given amount o f time, and at no time work off o f the school campus. As San Marcos grows, the Global Affairs department and the international student population will also grow. When asked what some o f the hopes and goals were for the International Program at CSUSM, McMartin responded, "We are always hoping for more international students, and now that we have th<: ,housing, somewhere down the line l would like t o see a n International Center, a place that international students could call their own."

Is There Liberal Bias At Cal State San Marcos? By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride StaffWriter says, "Liberal bias on campus has always been a problem. Liberal bias blurs the values and morals that our parents taught us as they raised us. Liberal bias descends under the guise o f 'tolerance' for all, except those who disagree with it. Instead o f being givep. an education, we are indoctrinated. CSUSM senior communication major, Anna Hall, expressed a similar sentiment stating, " The problem [with] liberal bias is that no one sees the conservative side o f things, only the liberal." In the past weeks, parents and students alike have leveled charges o f liberal bias at UCSD and some o f its faculty members. These charges include the claim that UCSD is indoctrinating the students with a liberal ideology, and telling them what to think, act, and feel about certain legislation. Closer to home, investigation into the subject o f liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos has uncovered a predictable difference in opinSome students say they have ion, with some students claiming they are told what to think, while never experienced liberal bias in the classroom, but still feel that it others see no bias at all. exists. Jennifer Cox, a business Liberal bias has been defined major, was asked i f she has peras a position that leans toward sonally experienced liberal bias those who favor greater freedoms on campus. She replied, "No, but in political or religious matters. I know it's there."

Some feel that biased President o f the College Repub- professors prohibit free thought. licans at CSUSM Sean Mattingly Mattingly asked, "[why are we] fooling students into thinking that in order to be a 'free thinker' that they must be indoctrinated by liberalism? One question though. .. what were students before they entered college? I mean, i f they are "free thinkers" only after they graduate college, what were they when they were not in college? Were they ''un-free thinkers?" How do I know that the professors have not graded me down simply because I don't agree with their 'free thought'?'~ I n a Jan. 21 San Diego Union Tribune article, UCSD student Brandon Woodward claimed that he has learned to reflect his professor's views after a paper he wrote against abortion, for a required ethics course, was picked apart b y his professor. Woodward claimed that he rewrote it with a pro-choice stance and received an A, and added, "With school and papers, you learn to write what the teachers want to hear." There are 9ther students who disagree with this position. CSUSM Sociology m~jor Drew members o f its faculty, students, and staff in both curricular and cocurricular activities." Niedenthal, a member o f the Progressive Activist Network said, "There is a lack o f interest in the liberal position and a leaning toward the conservative." Sociology major Kunta Jones agreed and stated that it was " a contradictory question, [considering] that we call ourselves a 'democratic' society." While many students believe that liberal bias on college campuses is a threat to their academic freedom, one o f the core values found in the CSUSM catalogue is academic freedom. Professors and students alike are entitled to full freedom in their research, but professors have to give an acceptable performance in the classroom, according to university standards. CSUSM believes that, "education depends upon the free expression and exchange o f ideas in the search for truth. Academic freedom is the freedom to express any view, popular or unpopular, and to defend that point o f view in open exchange. The university supports freedom o f speech, in~ ru;td ~x~~~si?D f or ·.all . .. . ~ The question o f liberal bias has professors apprehensive about answering the question o f liberal bias. Communication professor Michael Huspek commented, "The question 'is there liberal bias on campus at CSU San Marcos?' itself was biased and what should be asked is, 'What counts as academic freedom?"' Arts and Sciences professor David Avalos gave a similar response by stressing the importance o f academic freedom. Avalos said, "Academic freedom is dependent upon free speech and its free exposition and is not limited to any personal agenda." Mark Appelbaum, a professor at UCSD, explained his position by saying he wanted to "make sure students understand that faculty members have opinions.

Glassner proposes that Americans, unable to face up to German aggression and anti-Semitism, Japanese imperialism and domestic economic -problems, projected these fears onto anonymous alien invaders. Likewise, Glassner believes that modern Americans, seemingly unable to resolve issues such as child poverty, inadequate healthcare, unsafe conditions for workers, flagrant disparities i n income between rich and poor, and a myriad o f o ther real problems, project their fears onto murdering pre-teens, sadistic co-workers, dangerous minorities and other chimeras. This sublimation and projection o f real fears is not harmless. As a result o f focusing on specters, the aforementioned real problems go largely unaddressed. People die from preventable and treatable illnesses, children are raised in squalor, and young men with the wrong skin color languish in prison. The tragic events o f9/ll perhaps make Glassner's book even more apropos. As horrible as 9/11 was, the fact is ten times as many people are killed every year i n automobile accidents, and calls for more racial profiling and fewer restrictions o n government law enforcement agencies with a n esta~lished h istory o f indifference to civil liberties gives one pause. Barry Glassner's The Culture o fFear is a n excellent expose on truth and the consequences o f its suppression.

Photos by Diana Cabuto and M ilton R odriguez. By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer From traditional Korean dance to modem to ballet, 40 dancers, both male and female o f the Korean National University o f A rts (KNUA), demonstrated to be an appropriate opener for the new theatre at the Arts Building o f Cal State San Marcos on Wednesday Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. Beginning with a Korean scarf dance, Salpuri, (free from "sal") which literally means to free one from all calamitous events like death and illnesses. The performers captured the audience's attention with a peaceful traditional Korean Dance with delicate hand and feet movements - an introduction to more and more delightful surprises that were about to come. The second piece on the program was La Esmeralda, a ballet based on a novel written by Victor Hugo in 1831, and directed for KNUA by Kim Hae Shik. The third piece, called What's going on? is a modem dance piece choreographed by Joun Mi Sook. This piece was described as an interpretation o f "love, wrath, envy, pleasure and hatred" where all these emotions are "vanishing in vain." Starting with an empty stage and one man trying to stand still with dozens o f baseballs, the setting turned into a platform o f passing, rolling and biting between men, women, and the baseballs. The KNUA describes this piece as, "There is unknown tension. There is an unknown festival; about the height, about the depth, about the breadth." ballerinas presented five solo pieces from the total o f 14 ballet dancers and showed the audience their personal talent. The students o f KNUA performed not only that night for the school, but they had also visited one o f the dance classes offered at school in the morning. They shared some o f their personal experiences, as well as some basic movements they practice every day. The class had the opportunity to interact more closely with the dancers, and not just as dancers but also as students. The class shared their talents with the students o f the KNUA, as well as their enthusiasm and interest for a Ballet dancers came back to the possible minor in dance here at stage to show a different ballet Cal State San Marcos. piece called Paquita, a ballet in " I enjoyed coming to Cal State two acts, which tells the story o f a child rescued by gypsies, and San Marcos.

They also received a silver medal at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition, and third place at a New York Competition. When questioned about why he had decided to bring the KNUA to Cal State San Marcos, he responded, " I know Mr. Gonzalez for years, and I see he is working hard for this school as a wonderful president. He invited me here, which I happily accepted." "These are the most talented young dancers in South Korea, who come to KNUA to train for a professional career, and I wanted to share their talents. I would have loved the entire school to see our performance, I hope we are coming back next year, but I Students in the KNUA have will tell Mr. Gonzalez to build a been successful throughout the bigger theatre," Sejum Kim added world.

The boycott was to begin February 12 and would continue until three specific demands had been met: that Pepsi issues an apology to Ludacris and to the hip-hop culture, that the soda company donates 5 million to the Ludacris Foundation, a non-profit organization, .and that the commercial be reinstated. One day before the beginning o f the boycott Pepsi announced that they would donate five million dollars to Ludacris's non-profit organization. Pepsi is currently looking into meeting the rest o f their demands. On Wed. February 61h Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons was steaming mad after Pepsi's most recent ad which featured "The Fowl Mouth Family o f Darkness." The outspoken conservative Bill O'Reilly caused uproar over Pepsi's partnering with Atlanta's hip-hop Superstar Ludacris. O'Reilly blasted Pepsi for doing business with what he calls, " a thug rapper who espouses violence, intoxication and degrading conduct toward women." No more than twenty-four hours later Pepsi announced that Ludacris would be dropped from the ad as a spokesperson and apologized to anyone who was offended by the company's association· with him. Despite Pepsi's research findings that teens connected with the rap Superstar as much as any other celebrity that had been associated with Pepsi in the past, the With rap on the lips o f almost every teenad was still shelved. ager today, it is understandable how this children who cannot even make it past ' the eleventh grade, and a father whose speech is arguably by some considered English.

Raper, Ludacris. Courtesy photo incident had caused animosity in the HipHop community. It makes you wonder that Ludacris's fowl lyrics was Pepsi's motivation for dropping him. Pepsi endorses the Osborne family who seemingly can't say a sentence without using a four letter word, I t almost makes you wonder what Pepsi is thinking? d r are they purposely trying to shoot themselves in the foot? There is porn, a father who will be infamous for biting a bat's head off, a family who puts the " D" in dysfunctional, and a rapper, like so many other chart-topping entertainers, with questionable lyrics. Now which spokesperson/persons do you think should have been pulled? �... -·-- ~- 8 Tuesday, February 1 8,2003 Political Orranizations College Republicans The purpose o f this College Republican chapter is to make students aware o f the misconceptions and stereotypes o f the Republican Party's values and beliefs.

God thwarted their plans by confounding their language: that is, He gave them different languages, so they would not understand each other. No common language, no clear communication, no understanding- no tower. According to Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Michigan offers its driving test i n 2 0 different languages; and there are dozens o f languages spoken i n t he Chicago school system. Immigrants are flooding into the U.S., seeking a better life, asylum from political turmoil, a place to hide, or frighteningly, i n some cases, a p lace from which to base terrorist activities.

This is not to say that the original language should never b e spoken.

The parents wanted to encourage assimilation, and often never spoke o f t he " Old Country." I t d oesn't have t o b e t hat way. I know a woman from Colombia who is married to a Native American.

It would b e fairly easy for them to b e misled by b ad translations, or unethical translators. O ne language unites. Good, clear communication doesn't deny diversity.

I have beeri glued to the television watching " The Bachelorette" for the last few weeks. The show's exciting content has managed to entrap my interest from week to week. Yes, I k now some o f you are probably thinking that I have no life and that I a m some single female with hopes to b e t he next bachelorette. B e assured, I watch this for pure entertainment value only. A nd no, I don't take notes or dream o f being given the final rose at the rose ceremony o f The Bachelor! " The Bachelorette" is a followup show to " The Bachelor," <:;~tti.-.g which was created b y ABC. The show consists o f seven episodes viewed one episode every week, with a cast o f 25 males and one female, Trista (the bachelorette). During this time, there are many opportunities, activities, a nd special dates where the bachelorette gets the chance to get up close and personal with the bachelors. Then, at the end o f e ach episode, she picks a pre-determined number o f the bachelors to move onto the next round by offering them a rose as a token o f h er choice. I would never go o n national television and think that I would find someone that I would m arry after knowing them for a few weekS. The idea o f " The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" was a novel idea that many thought of, but few dared to take love to this level until a year ago when the first season o f " The Bachelor" was aired. Competition exists and fights for favor with the demographic o f those looking for love, entertainment, and j ust a good laugh. "Joe Millionaire" From episode to episode, I have is another show that has gained viewers that are hypnotized wondered who Trista will get rid o f next. I guess m y interest b y " The Bachelor" and " The is based on the fact that it is f un Bachelorette" phenomenon. to watch someone else's life and see them do things I would never Past failure reality television dare do i n m y own life. I know marriage shows include: " Who Wants To M arry A Millionaire" and "Bachelorettes i n Alaska." These shows attempted to gain audiences favor with sexy, skinny, and sometimes skanky women and hot, buff, t an men. I n m y opinion, people need a longer amount o f t ime together to really get to know each other and to see i f they are even compatible enough for long-term dating. I also feel people will meet someone compatible enough to date i n everyday life, not at some cattle call television show that gathers the hottest looking guys and gals to exploit for high ratings. The question is: would you go on one o f these reality television relationship shows? D o you secretly watch " The N o P lace t o S it, B y JEANNE RAUPP SAPP Pride S taff Writer Is there any place to sit on this campus? Is there any place with clean comfortable chairs? Is there any place that doesn't reek o f old food? Due to shoulder problems and a heavy book load, m y m ain focus thus far has been to find close parking places and elevators. I think I've found most o f them. My next project was to 5 nd a suitable place to study. First, I went to the Dome. The oppressive odor o f b urritos and cheese pizza was unavoidable because o f the food court, but at least I knew where to find the Dome, and I knew I could probably get a seat. Have you sat i n those chairs? The bistro-style may b e visually appealing, and they must have been cheap to buy i n large quantities, but they are a chiropractor's dream. Only supermodels and ten-year-olds could sit comfortably for any length o f time. The glare from the white walls and the strobe effect o f t he fluorescent overhead lighting gave me a headache. After giving it the old college t ry for over an hour, I gave up and took o ff i n search o f more comfortable digs. I have a Tuesday morning class and a Tuesday evening class, so being the high-intensity overachiever I am, I decided to stay on campus for the almost five hours i n b etween classes. M y p lan was t o do homework and catch up on reading for other classes, both o f M y next stop was the library. which require comfortable chairs. I hauled my bag down the stairs, which I paid for later i n shoul- der and back pain, and looked for a place to sit. There were a few chairs at a rectangular table and several computer stations. I settled at a computer and tended to some on-line work. I was done in a short while and had no interest i n monopolizing a computer to s urf or check e-mail. I could have tried to navigate the stairs, but with the load o f books I pull behind me, I couldn't have made it. Besides, I didn't want to explain to the student at the desk why I needed the special card to access the handicap elevator. So, I moved on. I saw the signs last semester for the Associated Students, Inc. lounge, so I stepped inside. I pushed through the choking stench from the microwaved Hot Pockets to explore. The furniture looked ratty and not clean, but my Bachelorette" show to b e entertained? A nd the real question on everyone's mind, " Who is going to get the rose, Ryan o r C harlie?" Out o f all the reality television relationship shows, " The Bachelorette" and " The Bachelor" s eem to b e the most entertaining. I guess the show is harmless as long as it is not my heart that is being toyed with. Still, a fter watching " The Bachelor" and " The Bachelorette," I prefer to stay on this side o f the television screen. Even i f I d on't have 25 guys to pick from, I know I will meet Mr. Right when the time comes, j ust like everyone else. " The Bachelorette" final episode airs this Wednesday night on ABC at 8 :00p.m. Da1~11~1it! screaming back was begging me to sit down. I t was a small room with lots o f h andmade posters on the walls and a sign on the pool table indicating it was out o f order. There are no moving parts o n a pool table, so how it could be out o f order? However, since I was looking for a seat and not a game, I moved on. I went to chat with one o f m y professors and found the chair in her small office the most comfortable by far. O f course, she was happy to talk with me, but she had things to do and I couldn't stay forever.

With all the brand-sharing going on i n the world, I 'm surprised the University didn't make some arrangement with an outside entity to provide the students with a comfortable common area in exchange for some discreetly placed advertising.

FOLK Pride StaffWriter I f memory serves me correctly, within the pages o f The Pride, there were several extremely critical opinion submissions from ASI president, Jocelyn Brown, explaining the importance and necessity o f attending all required ASI retreats. Her submission outlined in detail the weight attached to such retreats and described an elected representatives' lackofattendance as negligent and detrimental to the entire student body. Her letters were in response to an opinion piece from fellow student Steve Compian, who directed frustrations at the ASI board for denying Shannon Tweed the opportunity to carry out her duties as the elected College o f Arts and Sciences Representative. Shannon missed the weeklong summer retreat due to the death o f a close relative and had to attend to her family responsibilities.

The United States will be going to war with Iraq, against the wishes o f the U N and o f millions o f American people. An unprecedented peace movement is beginning, one which is mobilizing before the war even starts. This is a little heartening to me. The protests aren't going to do anything, and the protestors have to know it. But, people are still trying to make their voices heard. That's one good thing that might come o f it, a return to dissent and the refusal to just go along with public policy. The government is likely asking itself why such a peace movement is starting. The war isn't going to be fought here. No occupying army will march through our streets. Our system o f government and way o f life won't b e changed when it's over. O ur cities won't be bombed - at least not by the Iraqi government, though terrorist actions will almost certainly increase as a result o f this war and the increased American presence in the Middle East. There will likely not be a military draft, and there won't even be any new taxes to help pay for this war. At least not right away. The Bush administration seems to be going out o f its way to make sure that we won't have to unduly suffer for a war our country will be involved in. This seems to be as much to build support as anything else, but the war still has no support. destroyed, whose country will be razed, who will be left orphaned, I've been trying to ignore the widowed, homeless and without ~ upcoming war, because I knew I country by the political games o f would end up writing something their leaders. like this and risk alienating myself from people, some close How many future doctors, to me, who believe war is the teachers, engineers, diplomats answer.

They can't be; anymore than every American is a fat, complacent cowboy. They have families, homes, a way o f life that will b e t om apart by this war. And i f you can't have any sympathy for the losses they are soon to endure, at least fear the retribution they and their allies will harbor towards us. They say that Iraq will be rebuilt, much the way that Germany and Japan were after World War II. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that the puppet government that will b e controlled by the oil hungry Americans will be seen by the rest o f the world as neo-colonialism, not democracy. Military enforced democracy is not democracy. Again, this doesn't have to be about Iraq. I would feel this way were we at war with North Korea or Afghanistan. I wonder how the people i n Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and Kosovo managed to pick up and start over after the damage done to them. I feel for the wrecked landscape o f India and Pakistan as they fight each other, for the Russians and the Chechnians. And I feel sorrow for the American families that have and will suffer losses, in this war and in others. This is really about all the wars that have been fought before and those that peace movements will fail to stop in the future. The thing I hate about warfare is the way that it disrupts ordinary life. We - all o f us, not just Americans - deserve a chance to live in our homelands free o f the destruction that war brings. Do innocents in so-called enemy countries have to be victims to our political games? I want to end this with a quote I first read in high school, that seemed then and now to sum up my feelings on war. The words are from the peace activist Reverend Harry Emerson, from 1937, and they didn't stop the coming second world war. " I renounce war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatred it arouses, for ' the dictatorships it puts in place o f democracy, for the starvation that stalks after it. There are things worse than war, and war brings all o fthem." E am $ 1,000 • A ,OOO for y our S tudent Group in just 3 hours! College fundra1smg made S imple, S afe and F ree .

Every person on this earth explores in their own way, it may be through school, it may be on trekking through Europe, and it may be taking a journey into space, whatever the voyage is, it is worth every bit o f the expenditure i f i t is for the right reasons. Granted no loss o f life is acceptable, but w e also cannot hide in our homes because something might happen to us as we walk down the street let alone to our car or any other means o f transportation we might be using.

More Ride Sharing Programs Needed C SU's P rocurement O f P eopleSoft Mired In C ontroversy: By JENNIFER ACEE Feature Editor In a world with a limitless number of social causes and issues that seek and merit attention, 'Who is caring about what?' is an important question to be asking. Senior By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Executives Charged With From gas-guzzling SUV's to penny-pinching economy cars, CSU San Marcos students journey from far off places in an attempt to receive their college education. Many mothers, fathers, sons and daughters struggle to get to campus in hopes that their education will one day increase their status on the economic ladder. With this in view, many students have wondered why San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool for students. Unethical Activities A large sample of the academic leaders in the community of Cal State San Marcos were asked what social issue they care about most. The following are the responses of those professors interested enough to formulate a reply. By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In March 2003, the California State Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft). Among the findings of the report are potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well as an inappropriate handling of funds that may have negative effects on the CSUSM students and faculty. "I am most concerned about the narrow focus on the individual - to the detriment of the community - in the United States these days. Too many people who enjoy the benefits of living in the US — the standard and quality of living, the civil liberties, the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more for themselves, without recognizing that in doing so, they may be depriving others in this country - and certainly many folks in other countries - of access to the fundamental needs for survival We do not \get it' that our lives are inextricably linked to the lives of people in virtually every country in the world - we need them as much as they need us (it's called complex interdependence) - and we should be civil and considerate of their needs" -Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science Conflict of Interest The report, initiated last spring by State Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell) and State Assembly member Manny Diaz (D-San Jose) at the request of the California Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of interest resulted in two CSU system senior executives, involved with the decision making process in acquiring technological supplies and services for the entire CSU system, engaging in potentially unethical behavior, some of which is unlawful. ees to disclose their personal assets and income. According to the report, the CSU system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over the relationship between CMS and the CSU system. California State Auditor Elaine Howie, discovered that two CSU system executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s eight-step analysis to determine whether an individual has a conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act of 1974. According to the eight-step analysis, any public official, including all employees of the CSU system, may not make, participate in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government decision, such as the procurement of CMS/ PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have reason to know, that the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material, financial effect on their economic interests." One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor David Ernst, who participated in the CMS procurement, which occurred in April of 1997, received income and compensation from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating meetings prior to the procurement, and for consultation fees after the procurement.

Vanpools leave and arrive at various times allowing students to get to class early and leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m. Although none of the university vanpools are f ree of charge ($50 a month), they provide students with economical and practical alternative methods of transportation. A high percentage of CSU San Marcos students are commuters. Traveling from as far as Temecula and Costa Mesa, Chula Vista and San Ysidro can be a strenuous process. Sociology senior Shana Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool. They probably aren't doing it because it would affect parking sales." Liberal Studies major and Temecula resident Matt Mestas expressed this same frustration with the J&e RIDE SHARING, page 5 �P eopleSoft E ditorial Staff E ditors-in-chief Alyssa Finkelstein 8c M artha Sarabia D esign 8c P hoto E ditor Desmond Barca N ews E ditor Gail Tarantino F eature E ditor Jennifer Acee A rts E ditor Chris Martin O pinion 8c A ssistant D esign E ditor Jason Padilla S panish E ditor ^ M artha Sarabia S ports E ditor Jessica G raduate I ntern 1 S taff W riters J ared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jeanne ft« Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel M artin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie Myres, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Ciindifi; Diana K.

By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer What Students Are Saying After years of hard work, stress, and mind throbbing yet gratifying accomplishments, many graduating seniors are required one last tedious duty: the graduation portfolio. Faculty and students have different opinions; both are left with the same question regarding how both the administration's expectations for the portfolio, as well as the expectations of students, can be successfully achieVed. The graduate portfolio is required for six different majors at CSUSM, including the multiple subject, liberal arts, and single subject waiver program in social science, history, literature and writing studies. (LTWR), math, and science. These are the degrees a student would obtain if s/he chooses to apply to a credential program. A portfolio consists of four original papers, complete with faculty comments from various semesters throughout CSUSM studies, as well as a 3-4-page reflection for each of the four entries. The final bound product is required to be turned in no less then one month before graduation. A flurry of chit-chat regarding this portfolio can be heard in many upper division classes on campus. These are the voices of angry seniors who feel that the portfolio requirement is just one more set of hoops they must jump through in order to satisfy the administration. Many feel that they were not warned about the graduation portfolio, and therefore had not felt the need to save their original papers. LTWR senior Nichole Jester said, "I just found out about them last semester and have not saved nearly enough work to represent my true challenges and intellect. Liberal studies major Gail Tarantino shares this concern as she "found out about the portfolio by word of mouth and by the liberal Studies blue sheet." Tarantino says that not once had any counselor or advisor mentioned it to her. The lack of communication between the faculty portfolio advisors and the students does not stop there; students are also expressing their frustration with its overall effectiveness. "I think it's pointless - the papers we turn in are already According to Susie Cassel, graded. If I turn in papers the original purpose if of that received an 'A' from my this portfolio was to act as an professor, whoever looks at the evaluative and reflective tool portfolio isn't going to fail my from which a student may portfolio," argued Tarantino. track their growth. It seems, Along with the "pointlessness" however, that the students on of the requirement, some campus have a slightly different students feel that it fails to act as testimony to opinion about its purpose. their accomplishments.

With an audience of approximately twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the CSUSM office of communications mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war with Iraq. The panel included Kent Davy, editor in chief of The North County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an Arab and Islam expert and editor of Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer and publisher of The Californian, the Riverside counterpart to The North County Times. In his opening statement, Davy referred to the embedded rules that journalists were expected to follow. Only two journalists violated these rules and were asked to leave; one being Geraldo Rivera. An audience member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control the media, to have certain agendas put forth. Was there a plan to spyfold information? Were correspondents taken out of line if they didn't act correctly?" Rienke answered, "Reporters did not have the time to think of other messages unlike in Vietnam."

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM university police department is offering new student identification cards to students who currently have their social security on their school ID. This change was made by administration in the middle of the fall 2003 semester. Thus, any student who has gotten an ID after that time should have a randomly selected number in place of the social security number. This change is in response to only one known person's request, made by a student with concern for the privacy of students' social security numbers. The change was quickly put in place in response HIGH GEAR!

According to an article published in The Pride during the fall 2003 semester, Jonathan Poullard, dean of students at CSUSM, was quoted as saying, "We are working to immediately phase out the use of SSNs on student IDs." Students can stop by parking services during their regular business hours in order to be issued a new student ID with a randomly selected student number, which will be printed on the card instead of the student's social security number.

Fine acting and attention to character make the movie unique and more memorable than most comic book movies. The characters are all greatly expanded from both their comic counterparts and the first movie, actually giving an emotional feeling to the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but possibly a little confusing to non-fans. While the first movie suffered from a pretty threadbare plot, this one may have a little too much. The film does an outstanding job of juggling the several storylines, even managing to tie them all together in a logical way. However, there are an awful lot of characters here- nearly everyone from the first movie returns, and every one of them evolves in some way. There are also several new characters, whom are also given an awful lot of plot and character burden. The best moments are of character interaction. Unfortunately, these moments are too often lost in the big action set pieces. material condescendingly. Not here. Nearly every returning character improves. On a particular note, the X-women- Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn Stamos all have a lot more screen time, and all make the most of it. However, Hugh Jackman makes the deepest impression as Wolverine. He is a natural at showing all sides of Wolverine's personality and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both bring classical acting skills to elder mutants Magneto and Professor X respectively. Among the new actors, Cummings has a very bad German accent, but he is good when it counts, as in his scenes with Storm. Brian Cox, as the hammy villain Stryker, was pretty annoying, though. The special effects and set pieces don't disappoint. From the opening scene of Nightcrawler attacking the White House to the duel between Wolverine and the similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is exciting and very well directed. The mutant's powers look realistic most of the time. The familiar settings that the mutants move through make their powers both unreal and strangely believable. Also impressive is the movie's depiction of telepathy, which is sorely underused as a superpower in film. The cacophony of voices Jean Grey is forced to hear give Jannsen one of her best moments. The It's not that you lose track of anyone. makeup on some characters is jarring, but But- well, take one of the new characters, impressive, and helps visualize the themes Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler.

The lead characters Halle Berry's character- Storm, who is are mutants, outsiders from normal society. definitely not monstrous, and in this movie They are often seen as a metaphor for obviously holding back some anger at the oppressed groups. This provides very betrayals of the human world. The scenes emotional undercurrents, particularly in a between them are fascinating, with some "coming out" scene, where young Iceman very strong romantic undertones, and you reveals his mutant abilities to his family. start to wonder where their relationship Magneto represents the oppressed that could lead.

MacDonald's "Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer In 1964 author John D. MacDonald brought one of fiction's most imposing characters into existence. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" to this day represents perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of paperbacks. McGee first makes his appearance in MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye." MacDonald describes his creation as, "That big loose-jointed boat bum, that slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man named Travis McGee." Throughout the Travis McGee series MacDonald does a wonderful job with his descriptions of McGee as well as the other characters and situations that populate McGee's world. McGee is a harmless rogue who lives At one level McGee is the ultimate male aboard a large houseboat the "Busted fantasy character, a competent and indeFlush", which he won in a poker game. pendent non-conformist who lives entirely Our hero earns his living by retriev- by his wits and answers to no one.

The novels themselves are fast-paced and compelling. John D. MacDonald brought a wealth of experience to the Travis McGee series, having been a writer of suspense and science fiction for many years. MacDonald had earned his chops in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and economical and he can bring startling plot twists seemingly out of nowhere without the appearance of their being forced or contrived. During and immediately after WWII MacDonald served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor agency to the CIA. This may be the source of the detail and realism that pervades the "Travis McGee" series. The "Travis McGee" series is a classic in the detective novel genre and proof that the late John D. MacDonald was one of the twentieth century's master novelists. o CLASSIFIEDS 760-724-9423 EGG DONORS NEEDED Ages 19-29, $4,000 Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families 800-790-7633 PILLOWTOP MATTRESS SETS - BRAND NEW Orthopedic Mattress+Box.

While the efforts of The Pride may seem disjointed to some, the fact remains that students are free to write, rant, vent, or criticize anything that they choose. It's th^t freedom that the administration has sought to squelch. They cut the funding for the graduate intern, without whom the class cannot run. They cut it after the instructor applied for the funding for next year. That round goes to the administration. Without a free press, the game is lost. There is no question that our institution of higher education has ecome an institution of higher Ifees. Larger classes with fewer lass offerings are promised for the all semester. Educators are quiting, and presumably, moving on to niversities and colleges that place 'a higher value on the quality of education than does our own CSUSM.

Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies Department teacher at CSUSM said, "Unfortunately, much of the emphasis in education reform efforts is narrowly placed in improving schooling practices (e.g., instruction and curriculum) and not in addressing simultaneously the social context of education (e.g., poverty and exclusion)." I disagree. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational fundamentals of instruction and curriculum. Too much emphasis is placed on tolerance, diversity, and a host of other social and political issues which become irrelevant in a society that can't read, write, add, or think critically. Comments like Mr. Riquelme's cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college students. They are becoming less and less qualified to compete in the world because they have been shortchanged in their education. The teachers and professors who love learning and teaching are leaving the public school system. They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be free t o teach academic subjects to* students who want to be there, and be paid by parents who appreciate their talents. The disintegration of the grounds, the poor planning displayed by the administration in where l o hold which class, the lack of interest in what the students need, and the devaluation of the diploma, indicate a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong teaching staff, respect for students' time and money, and a newspaper that is free to print whatever is news, diversity and social issues are moot. It's too bad we can't all just take a semester off, and let the administration deal with that cash flow problem. 2003 CSVSM graduation May tT, 2003 May t?, 2006 Consolidation* At&l ! !

The second number (28) is the percentage of revenue growth in the past four years. The final number (36) is the percentage of growth in spending since 1999. The rest of his explanation rested on the belief that spending has created this deficit and that cutting both spending and taxes will rectify the debt. Davis was subtlety blamed for the deficit at times, but Hollingsworth's speech mostly was focused on the Democrats' favoring of tax increases, which he believes are not a solution to the problem. Hollingsworth handed out the "Budget Briefs" of the was looking forward to coming back again. Also, David Fogelson, Peace Corps regional recruiter, said jokingly, "Maybe if you guys can turn the temperature down a little bit," there would be more people at the fair. The job fair, which took place from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, gave opportunities and ideas to many looking for a job or internships in the near future. "I like the idea...

This award is named after a founding member of the Cal State San Marcos foundation board and former CSU executive vice chancellor, Harry E. Brakebill. The award has been handed out since 1993, and has replaced the outstanding professor award. Eight professors have been nominated so far this year. The award is given every October to a faculty member who has made exceptional contributions to their students, discipline, and community. The teacher's record as an educator is considered above anything else, but the creative quality of their teaching, their service to the campus and outside communities, and the quality of their outside research is also taken into consideration. Typically, around 11 professors compete for the award. The nominees will spend the summer compiling a dossier, which is reviewed by the selection committee before a winner is announced in October.

But Diehr y Concern Faculty says that once a program, which increases the faculty's workload, is established, the administration would be reluctant to have it discontinued. Diehr explained that changing courses from three units to four would decrease the number of classes required for some degrees, but it does not decrease the total number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units would come from the elimination of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine UDGE units would shift to the major courses. Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already has four unit classes, so there is some question as to which colleges and departments would adapt this model. compensation, Montanari said that each department would make their own decisions and adjust its curriculum so courses would retain their value. *He repeated that increasing classes to four units and eliminating the UDGE were just suggestions, and that unless proposed by the task force, they are only topics for discussion. Montanari added, "Since this is an academic institution, most of the things to make it distinctive have to do with education," and the "changes could be pedagogical and not necessarily have to involve increasing units or changing content." ~ Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs would help the university recruit students and faculty as well as attract funding.

They also should help the nominated teacher gather the letters of support they need, as it can be awkward for the nominee to solicit these on their own. Occasionally, a teacher decides not to participate, due to the amount of work involved in compiling a dossier. The dossier, due by the first week of September, is the only thing the selection committee looks at while making its selection. It contains the nomination letter, a statement of the nominees' teaching philosophy, their curriculum, letters of support from colleagues and students, and evidence of their contributions as educators, professionals, and members of the community. The selection committee was chosen through election in the academic senate this spring and is composed of one teacher from each CSUSM college, one part-time professor, one former winner of the Brakebill award, one librarian, one student representative from ASI, and one administrator. The members of the committee are not allowed to nominate anyone. They review the dossiers and make their recommendation to the president, who announces the winner to the campus community during the first week of October. The university provides funds to award the winner. The amount has changed over the years; last year it was $1500. The winner will also receive a wall plaque. All Brakebill recipients' portraits are hung in the first floor of Craven Hall. The portrait unveiling and presentation of the award are held at an official ceremony on campus. By JARED THOMP- staff.

From yellow ribbons to entertainment venues, and even here at CSUSM, North County has been making an effort to support those who have put their lives on the line. When the war began, a few patriots were at the gates of Camp Pendleton to offer their support daily. Dressed in red, white and blue, these citizens were at the gates of the base as early as dawn. They were there for about a week - an innovative method of time and place." now 4 Here at CSUSM, there has also been a noticeable change. In many classes, at least one student has either had to . withdraw because of deployment or has had a lovedone overseas. Last month, the campus veteran's association set up a table in order to send letters to the troops to show CSUSM's support. This community has used a variety of ways to support the troops.

In the assembly, which is made up of 32 Republicans and 48 democrats, 57 votes are required to pass a bill. After his speech, the senator opened the floor to questions. The questions ranged in subject from the Indian gaming revenue "to the idea that Davis' re-election platform was based on a surplus that was later proven to not exist, and the effect of President George W. Bush's tax cuts 30-minute on California. Hollingsworth explained that federal laws prohibits the taxation of tribes without their consent, and that the tribes could not produce the 1.5 million dollars that Davis attributed to the Indian gaming revenue. Hollingsworth also said, "Davis went into office in 1999 with a record surplus and has turned it into a record deficit." He clarified that Davis did not claim to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that the state has had a surplus while he has been governor. Finally, Hollingsworth said, when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would have to follow the same movement and commented, "People will avoid tax increases, [and] a tax cut will generate jobs and spending revenues." , The "Budget Briefs" can be obtained at www.republi can.sen.ca.gov U niversity P olice H elp O n-Line a nd O n C ampus By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer find out more about the university police by talking to the on-duty officers as they patrol the campus, stopping by the police department building located The CSUSM university police department offers just off of La Moree road at the very east end of emergency information and reference material on- campus property, or contacting them through their line.

KAPLAN EOE / Drug Test, Physical, Credit and Background Checks required �American Idol or America's Most inWanted connection with a bar fight in By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer And then there were eight, after American Idol finalist Corey Clark was kicked off the shoW Monday, March 31. Clark is allegedly being accused of attacking his 15 year old sister in October 2002 and resisting arrest. When producers learned of his misdemeanor charge of battery and resisting arrest they made the decision to remove him from the show. The 22 year old Kansas native, "withheld information about a prior arrest, which had it been known, might have affected his participation in the show," Fox stated. "The producers and the network feel that Corey's behavior warrants his disqualification." The news was leaked to the press by a website called "The Smoking Gun," which stated that Clark was facing trial April 15, 2003 for assault and resisting arrest. The smoking gun website also released the not-so-pretty mug shots of American Idol final- ist Trenyce who was arrested in 1999 for theft charges. However, Trenyce revealed her past charges with the producers of the show so it was not a big shock when the photos were released. Each one of the finalists goes through an in-depth background check in order to alleviate this type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to disclose everything about their past - good or bad. Clark slipped through the cracks because of a typo. The police report that was filed had misspelled his name, so when American Idol did the background check, nothing was discovered about his pending charges. Clark is the third contestant to be removed from the show. American Idol favorite Frenchie Davis was given the boot for posing topless on a porno site that had photographs of underage girls. Jaered Andrews, one of the former 32 semifinalists, was kicked off when FOX learned of his arrest on assault charges Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis M to the masses through t hat eing By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die! There is more to the picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly in the ears of our world, considering that many find their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our social condition has had an undeniable effect on the way we live today. However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out? When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct laws in place and think we have done everything in our power? Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk. Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into their subconscious what we want to say." medium gives witness to why much of everything is falling apart. The social construction of the family, our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning... where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among teens. With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly because they are created for you^h and for the appetites of youth. They are produced with the most advanced technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools, parents and police. The events at Columbine High School are a great example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners. Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song, "Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows: "You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill I hurt you and you cry out loud Now you're afraid and I'm ready My black blood soils your dress I'm getting more and more excited by your screams .. .hails into my sick brain now you're afraid and now I'm ready! My sick being screams for redemption Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold There's no god in my heaven!" This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money, power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical setting. content that could possibly cause this behavior."

Plato once wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they, the people, deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of lawbreaking!"

We Don't Care Who Men Are, We Care What They Do By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer his mother telling him to "join the army" because "it will make a man out of you." Kilmartin chooses to use this rhetorical device because he believes that "story telling is one way to make sense of our lives...I cannot tell your story for you, but maybe if I tell mine in a certain way, it helps you to tell yours in a different, perhaps more meaningful way." Among a homey sofa, padded chair, and modest end table stood a solitary man with something to say.

The protestors have claimed that peace is the route to be taken. They have done this a variety of ways including the traditional peace walks and demOTistrations but also through emailing Congress representatives and spreading the word about peace through concerts, flyers and emails. Many of these actions have stressed supporting peace. However, protestors have constantly been stereotyped as hating America and being against the troops. Each protestor has his or her own motivation for wanting peace and many have other interests, such as being active in other groups that are not necessarily peace motivated. Some may not like America and may not support the troops. But a large majority of protestors, especially in San Diego, do not share that opinion. The protestors believe that peace is the best possible way to support the troops, but those who are pro war believe that the protestors are against the troops. We all have friends and family who are serving and many us know of someone fighting in Iraq. Claiming that protestors do not support the military is ignorance. * America is privileged because it is protected by an armed force that consists of volunteers, not draftees. Therefore our troops have chosen Jto protect our nation. Protestors understand that, and they also support a country that does not invoke a draft. It is also understood that a military is needed in order to protect our country, and In the San Diego area, at the right time, to fight it is difficult not to know wars. Protestors do not a person in the military. want the troops to suffer, therefore they support the recognized that veterans troops when they protest receive little aid and it diminishes as time goes by. a war. There are ample examples It is as though the country of this limited aid. One is is sufferingfromthe opinion that veterans, for the past held during Vietnam. It is century, have had to pay true that servicemen who for their disability benefits fought in Vietnam returned without government aid. home to protestors who spat Veterans also wait, on at their service and treated average, seven months for them without respect, often an appointment with their in a very cruel manner. It is primary care physician. even sadder when many of These are real issues. What those in the service during kind of reward is that for Vietnam were drafted and men and women who were not able to make the volunteer to risk their lives decision to join the military, for this country? and yet were still treated inhumanely. However, we The protestors have tried are not fighting in Vietnam to show that they support and it is thirty years later. the troops while they oppose the war itself. In an article It also should be published in Alternet.org, author David Lynch writes, "Both pro- and anti-war activists seem to agree that we need to support our soldiers. However, the two sides disagree on the best way to do it." It is unfair for the protestors to accuse the administration and pro-war activists of false behaviors and actions and it is equally wrong to accuse protestors of not supporting their troops. Protesting the war does not equate hating this country. A large number of protestors realize that this country enables them to protest. Protesting the war also does not equate a lack of support for the troops. Where's The Booze?: Part 3 The Opinion ByDAVEWERTH Pride Staff Writer It provides me with much needed relief to finally have the chance to voice my opinion on the topic of CSUSM lacking a pub. After going to great lengths to report my findings in a fair, and balanced manner, I felt that it would only be fair to express my own feelings on the subject. It is my opinion that there most certainly should be a pub or alcohol licensed restaurant at CSUSM. I believe that there is a growing desire among the student body to make San Marcos a more social and desirable place to obtain a degree. With the By JOY WHITMAN Vox The Pride I have had a huge lesson in humility and introspection over the past few weeks. Also, with Earth Day having just passed, I have been thinking about a way in which I can help make a difference for the health of the environment. I have been using the public transportation system to get to and from school and walking to work. My car took its last plummet into total despair recently, and since I am independent from any financial support from parents and am not exactly tight with my wealthier friends, it may be a while before taking the big leap into buying or leasing another one. In the meantime, the bus, walking, and getting rides emergence of fraternities, sororities, clubs, and now with the completion of the new student housing, it is obvious that CSUSM is blossoming into a prepubescent social being. CSUSM is slowly straying away from being classified as a commuter school, and is taking its place along side other established schools. Through this metamorphosis, I feel that there needs to be changes that cater to the desires of the student body, and not solely to the infrastructure of the institution. Many students are likely to argue that a pub would not foster a positive tradition, nor promote a hçalthy social environment. For some, a negative impression that a pub may make on the community, is of concern, while others simply just don't want a pub. It would be ignorant for me not to take these opinions into consideration, but ultimately, I would have to argue that I see it quite differently. Growing up in Canada, for the better half of nineteen years, it is remarkable to me that alcohol provokes such a grand level of uneasiness among many Americans. Respectively, it is understandable that many people have had unpleasant experiences with it, on a number of different levels. However, at almost every university from friends have been my I have found this desperation to be rather disgusting alternative options. actually. For example, I As a result of this, I have consider myself and most experienced these bursts people, fairly level headed of inspiration to turn my but I never knew I had such misfortune into something a temper until I discovered positive.

Although it there's TRAFFIC issues, has been an inconvenience which you do not even for me, what has struck me want to get me rampaging the most about being in this on because I won't shut up situation is my realization about it. of how dependent southern However, my argument California is on vehicles. lies more so in the economic Being a native of this area sense of the matter. In order myself, I know that driving to make it more effective, a car is the number one I have chosen to highlight method of transportation to the realities of driving a get where we all need to go. car. First and foremost, it's campus that I have visited in Canada, there is at least one pub, or place, where the students can get an alcoholic beverage. These pubs and restaurants are great places that promote a wonderful degree of student and faculty interaction. Quite often these pubs are historic, and are home to the traditions of the school. In direct contrast, CSUSM has The Dome - a fairly stark haven for weary students that serves mediocre food and supplies a miniscule level of comfort. I have a lot of pride in being a student here at CSUSM, and I believe that this is a great school with great potential. However, even with the incredible expensive. Right now, I think it's safe to say that the average price of gasoline is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the lowest fevel you can put into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking at paying about $24 to fill it up. For all of you SUV owners out there, you are going to be paying more like $60 for a 30-gallon tank. Now, I am not knocking SUV's because I think they are really hot looking rides but that HAS to hurt when you pull out that hard earned cash or credit card that has you paying more interest than the actual gas. Also, you have to take into account that driving without insurance is against the law. For all you guys out there who have to pay more simply because of growth rate of this school, I feel that there is a certain level of apprehension to move forward, and a sheltering of the student body. At 23 years Qf age, I am not looking to be sheltered or made aware of the dangers of drinking by the school. I understand that the school is committed to helping students make healthy choices, and does not want to promote alcohol abuse to its students. In a previous interview, Jonathan Poullard made it explicitly clear that revenue from a pub would not aid in the lowering of tuition, parking fees, or book prices. However, I feel that is not unreasonable to suggest that the financial infrastructure the statistics that work against you, like getting more tickets and into more accidents than women; that sucks for you. of a future pub could be built with the intention that a percentage of the pub's profit be put toward the building of a parking structure, or toward offering students a larger amount of money for thek buyback books. Although it has been made clear to me that this is not how financial matters of CSUSM work currently, I rebut and say, if the pub isn't built yet, then why not make it that way? A pub would not become a "cash cow" for the school, but more so a way for the school to make money at the will of students, instead of in protest. "chrome" out your cars and do all that body work to keep that ever popular southern California "image" in check, you're spending even more money-whether you can do it yourself or whether you have someone to do it for you. Again, I'm not knocking any of you who do; it's simply a statement. Then you have registration • and maintenance. Registration in California also happens to be one of the most expensive around. In order to keep cars in good and safe working condition, one must maintain them, every 3 months or 3, 000 miles, then you have your 30, 60 and 90K maintenance, tire rotations, new tires, if necessary, making small or large repairs because machinery goes wrong from time to time, despite regular maintenance, smog checks every year, and then everything in between. Now, I realize that many of you have very taxing schedules that require you to be extremely mobile and you cannot rely on something like the bus schedule to get you where you need to be on time. Also, I know that many of your commutes are longer than mine, which do not allow you to take a bus, walk, skate or bike to Then for all of you that See THOUGHT, page 8 �newsletter—how insulting! And I am displeased that I am supposed to accept my powerless position, indeed that we all are; that there is little to nothing we can do about it. POSSIBILITY O F L OSING THE PRIDE Dear Pride Editors and Staff: I am deeply upset about the possibility of losing The Pride. It disgusts me that The Pride is being oppressed and stifled—and may even be forced out of publication—under the guise of "budget cuts." It is time we, the students, start having a voice in the priorities of Cal State San Marcos. Imagine, a student body impacting policy? One might think I was crazy just for suggesting it. The sad reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no interest in the student body, except as customers to be coddled. I am here to get an education and to be exposed to ideas and free thinking ^ and a student newspaper is the very lifeblood of such a campus-wide exchange of ideas. A student newspaper should be able to operate with impunity. The concept of a free press was easy for our forefathers to understand, why does the administration feel they have a duty to impose their narrow perspective and questionable ideals on the only outlet for free expression on this campus? You can't even post flyers at CSUSM without approval. I will stand for such repression no longer, not when it threatens a student run newspaper. So I here pledge to The Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will respond to the termination of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my power. Should The Pride be forced out of print, I will organize a walk-out and/or a protest on school property, and I will advertise such actions and encourage other students to participate. I will contact all local news media and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them to report on our protest—it will make a story I am sure will hold the interest of the residents of San Marcos and indeed the San Diego community at large. I will write letters to the editors of all the major newspapers in the San Diego area. If such actions fail due to the summer break, I will reengage them in the fall. So I say shame on the administration of CSUSM! To put it in language they might understand: this customer is most displeased. I am displeased that the last vestige of written communication on this campus is being bureaucratized to death. I am displeased that the administration considers I came to this school eager The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning- ful way. It is a shame I may be forced to create such a stink over something that should never be considered in the first place: ending a school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of loyalty to both CSUSM and my fellow students, and it is for this reason that I am determined to SAVE THE PRIDE!

"I thought it went very well," commented Kilmartin, "especially considering that it's a commuter school and people had to come back in the evening to see it." Commuter school or not, the mass of people cluttered around the display of cookies, brownies, and coffee at the entrance of the theater suggested much appreciation and engagement with the subject. "It was a very responsive audience," said Kilmartin. Although the majority of the audience seemed overly joyful and accepting of Kilmartin's performance, he warns that this is not always the case. People "sometimes say it's male bashing and disrespectful to them," but to such comments Kilmartin's general response is "I don't want to take your choices awayfromyou, but I do want California's Republican party? His persona reminds me of David Duke and his intellect of Rush Limbaugh. His selection to speak at our campus does a disservice to College Republicans and brings shame to our campus. your choices to be conscious ones rather then merely going with the program." Overall, the evening was a success. Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all day, I felt very energized by the audience." The constant uproar of laughter and utter hysteria on the audience's part suggested that they felt the same about Kilmartin's performance. Heads shook in personal testament and hands covered blushing cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it was later in the evening," said Moses, "but I left feeling refreshed and informed, he made some really valid and funny points about growing up as a guy." too, that he had 12 years and -17 UN resolutions to do this...and you still think peace never had a chance? Also, don't trust the UN these days.

Furthermore, Saddam is gone now, and it makes me sad that you don't celebrate that.

You must understand the huge difference between terror victims and collateral damage victims.

For all of us (myself included) that have griped and complained about that parking fee increase, which will not be decreasing in the near future: think of the money you could save if you could use another method of transportation, or if there was someone helping you out with the cost. Walking is going to keep me in great shape and since a huge criticism of the U.S. is our growing obesity problem, compared to that of Europe, you might think twice about getting in that car to go to the next corner where Burger King, McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more all wait for your return. I am also put at a little more at ease knowing that I am doing what I can to help eliminate extra carbon monoxide and other dangerous pollutants into the atmosphere by being one less vehicle on the road. I am in no way intending to preach and if I have made any untrue statements or judgments, by all means, let me know. These are just some things that I have noticed and that I wanted to make a social comment on. So since Earth Day was on the 2 2 of April this year and you are all reading this after the fact, let this be a reinforcement that awareness begins eveiy morning you wake up and try to do what you can everyday. * nd � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If current issues cannot be resolved, this could be one of the last editions of The Pride to be published. The decision about the student affairs budget for academic year 20032004 was communicated recently to The Pride staff, a fter the submission of the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding packet, which was turned in on March 10. The Pride's graduate student intern makes $3,500 per semester, which has historically been paid for by the office of student affairs, led by Francine Martinez. The Pride is currently operating as a class known as LTWR/COMM 316, and is staffed by students enrolled in the class, three paid student editors, and one paid graduate student intern. The graduate student intern position has been terminated, as the help supervise the larger student affairs budget can numbers of writers.. .bolster an editorial staff that often no longer support it. lacks experience with AP or journalist protocol, etc." Without the graduate intern position, The Pride Desmond Barca, design will not be able to operate in and photo editor for The the fall o f2003 at its current level, and the future for The Pride, also responded, Pride beyond that time "One of two things would is in question.

The intern role is crucial to managing a large group of writers, most of whom have no previous experience with producing tins specialized form of language. Additionally, without the graduate student intern position, the newspaper will have to operate without regular office hours. This would not only be detrimental to our ability to serve the campus community, but would also be financially crippling to The Pride's ability to raise revenue through taking advertisements, putting The Pride ever further from its goal of becoming independent from the university and some day serving the greater San Marcos community."

For those who ask about the location of this place this is on the fourth floor of Craven Hall. It is the Career Assessment Center - a place that students may do well to know more about. The sign next to the door explicates that employment can be found within the walls of the Craven 4201 office. That is just the beginning. There are resources to the Career Assessment Center (CAC) that apply to every student, from freshman to senior. One helpful trait for students is that there is no charge for services. If employment is desired, students may check out the binders labeled OnCampus, Off-Campus, Non-Degree and Internships for several job opportunities. If contemplating graduate school, there is a library of information to read through. Some of the services the CAC offers are mock interviewing to prepare students for the real interview experience. Also in the center are handouts that deal with preparing cover letters, thank you letters, questions that can be asked during the interview, how to dress for a job interview, what to do if the interview goes well, and how to write an acceptance letter. Using the center's website at www.csusm.edu/ cac, students may select the Salary Survey link that shows how much of an income will be necessary in order to sustain a living in any state of the U.S. There is even information on how to handle the more difficult side of employment, that of being laid off or downsized. Seniors planning on moving to another state after graduation may utilize what is called "Relocation Resources" where a relocating graduate student can find "east coast jobs" or "southern jobs" depending on their destination. There is even an apartment rental relocation guide in order to three to four more critiques help find a place to live. on the resume if needed.

If paying a outside mined. professional for the same Since there is a deadline to having the resume ready for distribution, it is highly recommended and cannot be stressed enough that ample time is given to do resume critiquing services, the costs run anywhere from $50 to $85 an hour. If students did not use the center's service of distributing the resumes to some 50 companies that have signed up to be a part of the program and instead chose to use an agency, they would have the possibility of getting a lower income. Their future employer may pay off the agency out of their salary. For companies to be a part of the distribution, they have to sign up with the center. The CAC also offers a variety of workshops, such as "Get Registered and Get a Job," which teaches how to become a member to the Cougar Trak and gain access to online job listings, local and nationwide. There are also links such as Effective Interviewing, Resume Writing, How to Network, and Hot Tips for Job Fair Success to help students find employment. these types of interviews. There are also self-help computerized tests to show what type of personality a student has, which could help them figure out what type of work they would most enjoy. There is also literature on what type of job a student could get according to their major, so students interested in finding more about their majors or interested field can visit the center to obtain more information. The vast resources the Career Assessment Center holds are at the fingertips of all Cal State San Marcos students. They are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities.

Before The Pride, there was The Pioneer. As with many things in life, Cal State San Marcos's student newspaper had a predecessor. Now, after 10 years of The Pride's establishment, it's time to take a look back and see how all of this started. During the second year of CSUSM in 1990, the students got together to create their own student newspaper. The Pioneer was published for the first time in Sept. 4,1990. The first editor-in-chief was Larry Boisjolie. Boisjoilie together with Jonathan Young, assistant editor, were in charge of the paper until fall of 1992 and for the first time ever on May 14, 1991, the student's voice was published in color. The 11x13inch paper was published every two weeks on Tuesdays with an average of 16 pages. In the spring of 1993, Roman S. Koenig became the editor. Then during the next fall, Mary Zyterpakiewicz became the new editor in chief. The newspaper continued to be published every two weeks and had an average of 16 pages, but was published on Fridays. It was during that time that The Pioneer looked for a new name, in the You Name It issue, and a call was made to all the students to submit their suggestions. On the November 5 edition in 1993, The Pioneer became The Pride. The Pride was the winning name submitted by Koenig. According to the editorial published in that same edition, this name was chosen because it conveyed the pride in oneself, one's school, and one's community, as well as meaning a group of lions, which was appropriate because the campus location was the former home of the mountain lion. At the same time the new name was adopted, The Pride obtained an office in ACD 208 and their first phone number, which is the same of one of the two current offices, extension 4998. After that, Koenig shared the editorship with Zyterpakiewicz in the spring and fall of 1994. During this period, the paper was published every other Wednesday, and ranged from 8-12 pages. In the spring of 1995, Derek O. Smith became the editor-inchief. The paper was then published every Monday. However, in the fall of the same year, Koenig became once again the lead editor and the paper went back to being published every Wednesday. Nevertheless, some new things happened. The offices were moved to Academic Hall, room 14-324, the first fax number was given, an online-version of the paper was created, and there was an advisory panel of faculty and a staff of 6 people. Tony Barton, the editorin-chief during the following spring semester in 1996, had an advisory panel of 8 members. However, from the fall of 1996 until the spring of 1997, The Pride became an 11x17 inch tabloid size with 8 pages, and Tom Nolan, a professional journalist, became The Pride's only advisor. Then, in the spring of 1997 and the fall of 1998, the paper went back to its old 10xl2-inch size. David Johnson became the editor-in-chief and Nolan continued as the advisor. However, The Pride website went dormant. In the spring of 1999, The Pride essentially died, because no newspaper course was offered and therefore no support was given for the production of the paper that semester. However, because of the dedication and commitment of a few individuals, The Pride was reborn in the fall of 1999. The lead editors, Leiana Naholowaa and Samantha Cahill, together with literature and writing studies (LTWR) and women's studies professor Madeleine Marshall, who became the second advisor, reorganized the newspaper. The newspaper went back to its llxl7-inch size paper, and was published on Mondays. It was also basically put together in the Commons 201 office, which still is The Pride office today. A class listed as both LTWR 316 and communication (COMM) 316 was also created for writers who would help out with the production of the paper. This is how The Pride still works today. Also, the position of graduate intern was established, which allowed the requirement of the professor's signature to be became the advisor, she describes that, "In consultaeliminated. ; tion with each year's editors, Marshall mentioned the I select the editors for the reasons why she decided to following year - and bear get involved with the news- the responsibility for these paper.

Since May of last year, Naholowaa and Cahill also started The PLS (The Pride Literary Supplement) as a way to give the students an opportunity to publish their academic writing for the entire student community. The Pride has been under the leadership of Alyssa Finkelstein and Martha Sarabia. The paper has at times increased to 16 pages, and some editions have been in color. A Spanish section has been added, which spurred some controversy at the beginning, but nevertheless it is still part of the paper. Also, during this academic year, Design Editor Desmond Barca changed The PLS to more of a magazine-format with smaller, color pages, as opposed to the same size of the newspaper, as it was published before.

On the surface, the excuse that the school needs to save money appears specious. It doesn't cost that much to publish a school newspaper, and the administration - if it is committed to the First Amendment - should support the paper every step of the way. I understand some administrators have been upset about the content of The Pride, and have tried to restrict what can and cannot be printed. They should read the law - the students make those decisions. If this 'budget cut' scheme winds up looking anything like retaliation for what The Pride printed, Cal State will be opening itself up to lawsuits to reinstate the paper."

The actions of the student affairs office, led by Vice President Francine Martinez and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, have raised this fundamental question. Their answer should be troubling to everyone who values the free and open exchange of information, for the simple fact that a press is not free if it is expected to follow the agenda of those who hold its purse strings. Because of their decisions, the current state of The Pride is in serious question. Firstly, the higher ups have prohibited The Pride from selling ads to businesses that want to advertise any kind of alcoholic drink specials. Poullard stated that the words "happy" and "hour" should not be seen next to each other in any ad sold. Then Martinez said that using the phrase "happy hour" was acceptable as long as drinks weren't specifically mentioned, and that we are free to sell ads to companies that are in the business of exploitation i.e. strip clubs. work against promotion of alcoholism and under age drinking. This attitude is a farce. If the administration cares so much about protecting students from ourselves, why do they have an assortment of shot glasses for sale right on campus in our own bookstore? Cal State San Marcos is not a dry campus. Even the incoming dorm students will be permitted to drink in their homes, if of age. Explain the logic behind this policy. Regardless of the merits of attempting to limit underage drinking, it is not the administration's job to censor the primary student publication. If they want to launch an anti-drinking campaign, they should do like everyone else and purchase ad space. This action seriously cripples our abilities as a newspaper to grow and determine our own content. It is because of The Pride's reliance on the CSU system for financial funding that the administration thinks it can dictate what is printed on these pages. However, legally they cannot punish The Pride when the content does not meet their approval - this includes ALL Like most student newspapers, The CONTENT. Their policy of restricting a Pride was founded with the desire to bring significant portion of the papers revenue stream will retard its growth -perhaps this the campus population a publication by the students, for the students, and free is their goal. from the heavy-handed or self-serving pressures often exerted by administrators. We are in an institute of higher learning, not a daycare center! They claim to have a In the early days, admission to the class moral responsibility to the student body to required instructor permission, which aga It s resulted in having a small class size, which in turn suppressed productivity. There was little structure to the publication, sometimes going two to three weeks before turning out a new issue. Problems with generating ad revenue made reliance on the administration for financial assistance all the more crucial. We have come a long way since then. The Pride is now open to anybody who wants to take the course (communication 316 or literature and writing 316). We are a regular paper that turns out 2,500 copies per week and continues to increase our readership. The ability to generate and maintain enough ad revenue to move off campus and work independently of the CSU system would be the ideal way to ensure journalistic freedom. Though The Pride is not entirely self-sufficient, it is and has been the common goal to become so. Following the disagreement concerning The Pride's alcohol policy, the administrators decided to cut the graduate intern position. Though the events may be unrelated, this may prove to be the most devastating blow to The Pride yet. Leiana Naholowaa, the current graduate intern makes $3,500 per semester, which is paid for out of the office of Student Affairs. What makes the matter worse is that administrators have cut the position 'after the advisor for The Pride applied for the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding, which might have been able to compensate for the loss. This means that there is no way to subsidize lost funds. Administrators made this decision after the budget for next year was set in stone. This means that there is no way to subsidize the graduate intern position. The graduate intern offers support in the actual production of the paper, provides an office presence for interested members of the community and as a backup for possible advertisers, and offers assistance to an inexperienced group of journalists and editorial team. This "by the students, for the students" dynamic is crucial for this publication to work, and for this publication to work the presence of non-faculty veteran leadership is essential. Putting aside the ideological implications of losing the graduate intern, the simple fact that this would require the advisor to work the extra 20 hours per with no increase in pay. This is both unreasonable and unacceptable. a t r e m e n d o u s l y f i n n y look at t h e a b s u r d i t i e s and contradictions of g r o w i n g u p m a l e i n A m e r i c a a s o l o p e r f o r m a n c e p i e c e w r i t t e n by Kilmartin an d f e a t u r i n g Chris Gregg Stull direetel by FREE performance on Tuesday.

Administrators say the position must go because of state-wide budget cuts, but it seems peculiar that the university would cut such an important position days after Martinez and Poullard disputed The Pride's advertising decisions. The school is not going to save very much money on the graduate intern. It seems possible that the real reason is that Martinez and Poullard are not committed to a free press, and this may be a haunting specter of things to come. These decisions made by the administration seriously undercut our ability to function properly and have forced our hand. We have chosen to respond in the only way we know how — by reporting it. Throughout his term, President Gonzalez knew the importance of having a campus paper and was one of our biggest supporters, but in this time of uncertainty, no one seems to want to even hear the case presented. An institution without a newspaper that strives to get bigger and better cannot be considered a top quality university. Times are tough, especially in regards to the California budget, but do we risk taking a giant step backward as a college press for such a meager monetary amount? We have to ask ourselves, what is the future of the First Amendment on this campus? �The Rride the paper has gone a long way since it was started, it has room for more improvements. For Naholowaa, who is now The Pride graduate intern, this can be done in all aspects such as "production, online collaboration, and working with other departments on campus besides LTWR and COMM, which include the College of Business and the world languages department." Segall would like to see the paper be more than once a week, have more pages, have more writers, tackle more issues and have more investigative articles. P RO-WAR RHETORIC Response to Brian Dobbins Mr. Brian Dobbins, the poster-boy for the "praise America first" club, fails to understand my contention that the U.S. supports terrorism in the name of democracy. America facilitated the Iraqi acquisition of chemical and biological weapons; A very unique aspect for The Pride is that since its conception, the editors have exercised full freedom on the things they choose to print. "I believe so strongly in a free student press that I never interfere with the voice of the paper," said Marshall. Since the first editions of the CSUSM student newspaper, there has been a disclaimer saying that the freedom of expression is exercised during the paper's production. History from page 2 supported by the administration at a level in terms of operations, but I have never felt their support, nor their interest, in terms of growth for the newspaper and class," said Naholowaa, "The administration, including the LTWR and COMM departments, which The Pride class is listed under, [have] never shown a great interest in helping us grow in substantial ways and nor have they made any concrete plans for its future." The relationship between administrators and The For the future, present Pride editorial staff has and past editorial staff have not changed much from the many predictions. "The beginning. "Today, we are Pride has a very bright America encouraged Saddam's use of these weapons against the Iranians and Kurds.

The example of the Iraqi schoolhouse bombing was on Saul Landau's documentary entitled "Iraq: Voices from future of being noi just THE campus paper, tjut the most prominent newspaper in the San Marcos community," said Naholowaa. Marshall also has repeatedly said that she envisions seeing The Pride as the San Marcos city paper. Segall expressed, "Now that The Pride has come so far, I couldn't imagine the university without a student newspaper. If we lost the student newspaper, it would be like th$ university taking a step back, rather than a step forward towards enhancing student l ife" Segall also took the opportunity to remind LETTERS the Street" which was part of his anti-war seminar here on campus.

However, there is nothing to be done; The Pride is and hopefully will continue to be the Cal State San Marcos student newspaper for many years to come. Furthermore, well over 30 times the U.S. has vetoed U.N. resolutions to stop the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli terrorists. Therefore, when the U.N. does try to enforce resolutions that run contrary to U.S. policy, the U.S. does not hesitate to use its veto power as a sitting member on the Security Council. Whether the attacks come from suicide bombers or through unlawful occupation through superior armament (U.S. subsidized), it is terrorism.

We know that promotion and availability are the major factors that influence a person's decision to drink, so why would The Pride suggest our school start down this path? Apparently, Cundiff believes alcohol advertising would solve some funding issues.

The debate was held to discuss the different aspects of the war, f rom both a conservative and a liberal perspective. The event was mediated by each of the College Republicans and PAN presidents, Sean Mattingly and Manal Yamout respectively. Each organization supplied one speaker to debate the war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer and former chairman of the California Republican Party represented the sentiments of the College Republicans. Sean Bell, veterans advocate and vice president of the San Diego Veterans for Peace, chapter 91, spoke on the behalf of PAN. Bell is also a former marine who served actively in 1990-1994, including time in Iraq. shouting and name-calling at both speakers. Steel commented that the protestors had a "complete separation from reality" and a "hatred of America." Several students yelled back "Who hates America?" In response to the question, "Why has this war inspired the biggest anti-war movement?" Steel responded that is was not anti-war but "pro-tyranny." A student yelled that the debate was a "travesty, [that] students should be speaking, [and that] there [was] too much control." Both Mattingly and Yamout repeatedly asked the audience to be respectful, but it was often out of their control. The speakers did not always disagree. Bell commented on anti-war speeches given by former Presidents James Madison and Dwight Eisenhower, to which Steel conceded that they were appropriate references. They also agreed that questioning the government was not anti-patriotic. Bell said that a "government left unquestioned is not a The audience, which democracy," and that it is the numbered well over 100 and duty of an American citizen to at times grew to 300, was question. Steel agreed, saying, invited to submit questions "I've questioned authority my to the mediators. Over half whole life; I'm a Republican." of the questions asked during He also commented that he the debate were from the cherished the rights given by audience. the First Amendment of the Constitution. There was an obvious division within the audience. Bell repeatedly urged Throughout the debate there the audience to question was often booing in the everything, including both midst of applause as well as See WAR DEBATE, page 2 By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer During the 1930's, Nazis burned the works of famous intellectuals in an attempt to keep their words and thoughts from corrupting the citizenry. It has been 70 years since this infamous book-burning, but book burnings still occur in this country on rare occasions, one of the most recent taking place in January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and some of Shakespeare's works, claiming that they were "satanic depictions." Book burning was more effective before the days of mass printing, and is currently used primarily as a shock tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been much more common. Using legal means to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity laws, regulating their own punishments and standards, which applied to books, devices, and films. » —•• | In 1957, the Supreme Court declared that if a work of art had significant social value, it was not obscene. The case was revisited in 1960, when the Court added that it was necessary to censor material "lacking in social value" or that was "no essential part of the exposition of ideas." This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not defensible by the First Amendment. Schools and public libraries often ban books with questionable content that they consider obscene. In the interest of protecting minors, local school boards have authority in deciding whether or not a work is obscene in their district. In the decentralized educational system, small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After the implication of the Pico standard in 1975, where a high school student took his school board to court for banning a book, school boards are allowed to ban works based on vulgar content, but not for subversive ideas. When presenting the case for banning a book, pressure groups have to be careful to attack the work's content, not its ideas.

There are a total of 2,781 cases of SARS worldwide, with 170 possible cases reported currently in the United States and 37 suspected cases in California. Currently the virus has claimed 111 lives worldwide, but no deaths have been reported in the United States. In San Diego there has been one possible case of SA«B. The San Diego County Public Health Services (PHS) announced on April 7 that they were investigating a possible case of SARS in a woman who had been in China recently, and whose name remains anonymous in order to protect her privacy, is now isolated until her symptoms subside and the test results are confirmed. As of April 9, the PHS reported that the woman's condition has improved and that there are no signs of a fever at this point.

Symptoms and signs Book Burners Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

When asked if a special interest group, such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not to say we would agree to remove the book." Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law. Among the most frequently banned books in public school libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship.

The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) annual meeting on April 4-6 was the largest conference that Cal State San Marcos has ever hosted. Approximately 700 scholars from various academic disciplines across the world met at San Marcos to present and hear each other's papers surrounding the ACLA theme for 2003, "Crossing Over." CSUSM scholars included seven graduate students from three different departments and eleven faculty members from four different departments.

Comparative Literature is interdisciplinary study throughout a mixture of different academic disciplines, which includes literatures,film,histories, politics, psychology, and philosophy, where texts are studied in their original languages. Comparative Literature as an institutional discipline is about David Damrosch spoke on Saturday evening, April 5, at VSAR 240 in a lecture entitled "The Road of Excess: Comparative Literature at a Double Crossroad" about the ways in which translations of texts into English in the U.S. politicize and reveal attitudes towards people from other countries. Damrosch also noted that three-fifths of the conference papers this year had focused on the last 50 years of the 20th century and reminded the audience that older subject matter departments called "Literature" - be it Dante or Chaucer - i n the original language. In the Late 19th Century, universities changed and English-only departments began to pop up. According to CSUSM Professor Heather Richardson Hayton, the important benefits of ACLA at Cal State San Marcos is that it offers national recognition, See COMPARATISTS, page 4 Sponsored by: Cal State San Marcos Career and Assessment Center, Enterprise Rent~A~Car, GEICO Direct, North County Inland and Coastal Career Centers, and San Marcos Chamber of Commerce J OB & R E S O U R C E FM 2Q0&\ Tuesday, A p r & M W 12 h 4 : 0 0 f n i In the past, the conference took place on the likes of such campuses as Notre Dame and Yale, but in the late Fall 2000, a bid was placed for San Marcos and the association had agreed. This past ACLA meeting was the first time this event had ever taken place at a California State University. The keynote speakers for the event were Mark Poster from UC Irvine and David Damrosch, a Columbia professor and the ACLA's outgoing president. With his public lecture titled "The Information Empire," Poster spoke just before the ACLA banquet at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Friday, April 4, the first official day of the conference. 100 years old, according to Professor Hayton, and the ACLA was founded in 1960. In Europe, the studies of literature were known as "Philology" and only done in literature departments.

Part 2: The Administration By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer The quest for knowledge as to the history and idea of a potential pub at CSUSM continues. A small percentage of a powerful and growing student voice has been expressed thus far, and now the issue becomes clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers the question: Where's The Booze? CSUSM Senior Director for Health, Counseling, and Disability Services Susan Mitchell was more than delighted to help answer this question. She noted that the San Marcos campus is by no means a dry campus. In fact, with proper approval, beer and wine may be served on campus. In addition, the new student housing will not have a prohibition on alcohol. There is, however, a long list of rules that accompany these allowances. Policy states that alcohol consumption is allowed in student housing, as long as the person is at least 21 years old. In addition, large quantities of alcohol may not be brought into the housing. These large quantities pertain mostly to kegs of beer. How the school plans make a judgment on large quantities of hard alcohol and wine is somewhat of a mystery. The school policy for alcohol consumption on campus differs dramatically from the student housing policy. Alcohol consumption by anyone on the CSUSM campus is prohibited, even if the person is 21 years of age. The exception to this rule is if alcohol is being served at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a school sponsored function, and with approval from the president's office. Approval for consumption of alcohol at such an event must be requested at least four weeks in advance. There also must be approval for the use of facilities, along with approval from several different administrative offices. Even then, only beer and wine may be served, and it must be served by a properly licensed distributor or catering service. Although Mitchell provided excellent information on issues relating to alcohol within educational institutions, she also found herself stumped as to why there is no pub on the San Marcos campus. She offered the suggestion that a pub may have never been suggested by anyone, up to this point. A fter a lengthy interview with Mitchell, she summed up her feelings on the topic by saying, "It's not so much However, the main point that I am against a pub, but remains that CSUSM is not it would take some cona dry campus.

He did, however, express confidence when saying that he believed that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Instead he believed that it has been a topic that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus from time to time, but never taken beyond that. Community perceptions of CSUSM, campus safety, drunken driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by a pub, have all been suggested as reasons why Cal State San Marcos has no pub. However, the best answer that could be provided was that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Whether or not a pub is something that students would like to see at CSUSM is debatable. What is clear, is that formally suggesting the idea is the first step, and may be the only way to fully answer the question: "Where's The Booze?"

Thus not every one wanted to go to Iraq and MILITARY fight. C ONCERN D ON'T ABUSE YOUR F REEDOMS I was pleased at the overwhelming turnout of students at the April 9th war debate sponsored by the College Republicans and PAN. The event was very well organized and for the most part ran smoothly. Unfortunately, there were some people who chose to disrupt the assembly by inappropriately shouting out rude, personal, and unfair comments, as well as obscene gestures to Mr. Steel. As Americans, we have the right to speak freely, but this does not mean that we have the right to use abusive speech or encroach and trample on other people's rights. While I must commend the majority of the liberals attending the event for not participating in such immature tactics, I also find it interesting that the only individuals who chose to act in such a manner were the very same people who advocated for "peace." But then it was just last week that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat advocator of peace, said that the U.S. also needs a "regime change," which by definition involves forcibly removing a dictator from power. While the "corporate media" is quick to show protesters in the streets of New York or San Francisco, the truth is that 78 percent of Americans support the war with Iraq, and 69 percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is conducting the war (4/03/03, Opinion Dynamics Poll). Since these abusive words of treason came from a Democratic presidential candidate, it really is no surprise that liberals on campus would follow the example of this country's left wing leadership, and encroach on Mr. Steel's rights. Your words and actions spoke louder than the "peaceful" protest signs of your movement, and you truly showed the true character of the bleeding heart liberal. Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the streets of Baghdad at the toppling of Saddam's statue, and the end of Saddam's evil, tyrannical regime. May God bless the now free people of Iraq, as much as He has Dear Editors: that the Iraqi regime might hold against us? What are our soldiers dying for? Sure 82 casualties doesn't compare to the previous wars Americans have fought in, but that is still 82 dead people and counting, and thousands more lives of friends and family that have been drastically affected. I know that many people join the military for lots of reasons, many of which don't include protecting the country, like benefits, a stable pay check, to make something out of their lives, to travel, to get financial help to go to school through the G.L Bill, and as a way out from any pressure at home. Soldiers are owned, which is why they're called military property; their job comes first no matter what, and they don't have much of a say in it either. One can argue that even if our first motive for the war wasn't to disarm Saddam, it is still our motive to free the people from Saddam's tyranny and oppression. We have the ability and so it is our responsibility. That is a valid point. The people of Iraq have been oppressed by their own ruler and have the right to be free. Many Iraqis would want to live free and not under Saddam's regime. If we never find WMD then of course our motive is to free Iraq, but it wasn't like that in the first place. It' just funny how later on in the war the ideal of freeing Iraq was emphasized more than finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction. Dear Editors, Furthermore I can't help to feel bad for all the people I don't want to get into a who are going through whole discussion about troubles and upsets in Iraq. whether Americans should I do however have friends be supporting the war in in the military.

What not even as reporters or if the government was maintenance mechanics, wrong the whole time in that who have suffered more there was no present danger If this is the case, and our troops are not dying solely to defend national security, but to liberate the people of Iraq then what do we do with the rest of the world? If we liberate Iraq, then we must do the same for the countries if tyranny or dictatorship crops up. And evidently we are not. There are many places, like in Africa (specifically Congo), where the people have been oppressed by their government for decades. I would like to express my concern for those who have friends, family or some one special in Iraq. I'm sure every one has mixed feelings or opinions about the war itself as well as those who have their loved ones fighting the war. I myself don't have any family members in Iraq nor in the military but I can't help to think about those who do. I worry about the troops because I know they aren't all coming back safely, many families and Cynthia Tirado friends will mourn a loss. I Freshman, Undeclared particularly can sympathize with many people who feel afflicted by the war because NATIONAL I have mourned a loss, the SECURITY loss of my sister. So after this war, if we don't help other countries that are in a similar state like Iraq, then we would be hypocrites. And if we decide to be global police officers, then it would be hypocritical in a sense that are problems within our own country that are not being dealt with as best they could. These are just some of my views as an irrelevant civilian. Jordan Boone Freshman, Undeclared victim's mouth and asks, " How do you feel?" I give you ten guesses how the victim felt. I look forward to the change around the campus. I think the new on campus housing will bring a different atmosphere to the campus, making it become more alive. Having students on campus around the clock will also bring it to another level to make it feel more like a "real" Cal State campus. I sincerely believe that the news media is like any other business. It is in the business of making news to make money. It cannot function without the big time ads and subscription.

Looking at the history of America, civil liberties are often a victim of war. To better understand the threat that war poses to civil liberties, it is important to review civil liberties in the past wartimes of America. In 1798, only, 10 years after the ratification of the Constitution, America entered the Quasi War with France and passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among other laws, the acts made it illegal to protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's policy, a direct violation of the f irst Amendment. The Act was not very jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in 25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè convicted- * . In the 1860s, President Abraham •Lincoln, in order to "keep the union together," passed emergency Jaws that violated the Fifth Amendment and Habeas Corpus, outlined in Section 9 of the Constitution. Military commanders were allowed to suspend due process and were held prisoners for years without a trial or at times, without suspicion pf a crime. The Espiona|e Act of 1917, which was passed during World War I, allowed for the prosecution of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000 of them. When ratified in 1918, it forbade opposition to the war by banning "disloyal utterances Such utterances included "unpatriotic" conversation. For instance, criticizing the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the Red Cross was also considered unlawful. Other comments that were banned were those questioning the U.S. aad British- relationship, discouraging women from knitting socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at contrary t o the teaching of Jesus.

"I became interested in the program when my good friend committed suicide when I was 15 and they were handing these cards out at his funeral." The small white cards have a yellow ribbon printed on one side with a caption that says, "This ribbon is a lifeline." A person in distress can hand the card to someone, a parent, a friend, a pastor, or a doctor to reach out and ask for help.

Yet swelling enrollments among low-income and working class families, massive state budget cuts, and rising tuition continue to strain our ability to ensure access to a college education for all Americans," said Representative George Miller, the Senior Democrat on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Miller, a Democrat from California, introduced two higher education bills to the House Committee in Washington on Mar. 18, 2003, known as the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act and the College Opportunity for a Better America Act. According to the official remarks made by Miller at the presentation to the House of Representatives, the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act proposes to help ease the burden of student loan debt for millions of Americans. The act will possibly change the current student loan tax deduction benefit to a tax credit - which will deliver a larger rebate on the interest paid on student loans to borrowers. The savings for the typical borrower who is earning $20,000 a year will more than triple to $347 in theirfirstyear of repayment. The Department of Education has reported that 7 million students are expected to take out federal student loans to cover the costs of their education this year alone.

She also added, "I wish [suicide] didn't exist. But it does and it's a growing problem." Rivera said that the actual statistics for suicide are much higher than reported because police won't label a death a suicide unless there's clear evidence, such as a suicide note, that the death was intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear and alarming. Eleven young people, between the ages of 15 and 24, die by suicide every day in this country. Since 1990, there has been a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. "Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It is not particular to one race or socio-economic group. But, Rivera said, "Suicide is not about death and not about dying - it's about ending the pain." Some signs that someone may be considering suicide are: Depression or withdrawal Changes in sleeping or eating habits Giving away possessions Acute perfectionism Listening to music about death Hostile or reckless behavior fall, which will train Peer Education and If someone is exhibiting Support (PEAS) counselors these behaviors, Rivera says, and Resident Assistants a friend can help by listening, (RAs) in the new dorms. offering empathy, and giving CSUSM will be thefirstcola friend the hope that alterna- lege in the area to introduce tives to suicide are available. and implement the program.

In addition, nearly two-fifths of all The College Opportunity for a Better America Act student borrowers graduate proposes filling the need with unmanageable debt levels, and as a result, many may seek higher-salaried positions rather than public service careers," according to Miller. The National Center for Education statistics reported that the estimated need for teachers in the United States will be more than 2 million new teachers over the next 10 years. In a recent report, the American Hospital Association found that there is a national shortage of 126,000 nurses; just as the number of nursing school graduates decreased by 29 percent between 1995 and 2001. In addition, the number of unfilled child welfare specialists is rising; while the nation's childcare programs are suffer high staff turnover, driven by poor compensation. With the combination of higher tuition, state budget cuts, and secondary education being the minimum education needed for higher income careers, the two bills that have been presented stand to offer a break for students who need a little extra help to complete their goals of a college education or a career in public service. Shems performed a piece entitled "Role Reputations. Resistance. Being Wonder Woman in Today's Society" as she approached issues of a woman's identity in U.S. society by matching images of herself, as daughter, child, and friend, with related terms such as submissive, witch, and skank. She also used music as another way to express her dissatisfaction about the way women are represented or treated in our society, by describing the likes of Wendy 0 . Williams, Blondie and Gwen Stefani with terms like "twat," "slut" and "goody goody." The evening's last performance, "Monster Grrrl," was performed by a brilliantly blue haired Schaffman as she flailed energetically about the classroom, flopping on tabletops like a fish out of water, and flashing the "Women Rights" manual to her audience. This and many other unique and interesting events were held on campus this month. "It is a wonderful opportunity to honor all those women before us and today (including those fictitious characters!) who have worked and continue to pave the way for equal rights," said Schaffman. A panel made up of the three performers gave closure to the evening, as the audience was encouraged to ask questions and engage with the current discussion of Women's History Month and Women's rights. The topics addressed included the role models of the three women, which included mothers, grandmothers, female artists, and earlier "girl power" movements in history as well as the reasons each woman gave for being active in such an ambitious cause. When rapper Goldstein was asked about her f uture goals as an artist she responded, "Being Miss Liberty is all about creating change and I plan on doing it one rap at a time." "It was actually pretty shocking at first," described audience member Ashley Moses, "but I think that was the point. I had never considered some of the issues presented by these women.

Gilmore said, "You'd give up everything by way of individuality, privacy, anonymity ... and even then you would not have total security." -Former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, James Woosley, has taken a different perspective. Woosley has commented that the U.S. is not as intrusive as it could be. He believes that Americans "are going to have to make some other hard choices, as time goes on, about reconciling civil liberties and security, and realizing that, while we wish they didn't conflict in a war, they do."

Estos soldados han dado la vida por un país que muchas veces se les ha negado como propio por no haber nacido aquí o por ser hijo de Los "mojados", los que vienen a quitarnos los trabajos, inmigrantes. los "welfereros", los que no hablan inglés, los high-school dropouts.

Sin embargo, lo que muchas conflicto entre Irak y Estados Unidos ha demostrado todo personas no terminan de entender es que para estos sollo contrario a estas creencias o mitos pero sobre todo ha dados la ciudadanía ya se había alcanzado en el corazón, puesto en descubierto la realidad de muchos de los latinos aunque tal vez no para aquellos que necesitan verificar la que vivimos en este país, que es ante todo también nuestro validez de algo en un pedazo de papel. país.

También cabe mencionar que entre los prisionedados que hasta el día de hoy han fallecido representando ros de guerra se encuentra una soldado panameña. Pese a a este país. La única diferencia entre ellos y otros solda- esto, muchas personas en esta nación siguen pensando que dos es que muchos de ellos ni siquiera son ciudadanos los latinos solo vienen a este país a tomar algo, a llevarse americanos. Un simple certificado de papel verificando algo, pero como ya se ha demostrado esto no es cierto. su ciudadanía estadounidense no fue requerido por ellos Se ha demostrado que es todo lo contrario. Los latinos a ga ns también dan su vida como cualquier ciudadano americano por representar a los Estados Unidos. Es tanto el amor y dedicación que muchos inmigrantes le tienen a este país que sin importar si son ciudadanos legalmente o no, están dispuestos a darlo todo por recibir tan poco a cambio. Digo tan poco a cambio porque las fuerzas armadas ni siquiera pueden ayudar a algunos de los familiares de estos héroes latinos á pagar por su funeral. El dinero dedicado a pagar por los funerales de los caídos es tan solo una parte de los gastos del funeral, es un poco más de la mitad de lo que se necesita. Dicha medida ha forzado a algunos familiares de los soldados fallecidos a verse en una situación difícil por la falta de dinero para pagar por un funeral. ¿Acaso el valor de sus vidas es tan poco que ni siquiera se ha destinado un fondo monetario para enterrarlos decentemente? ¿Acaso se necesita dar algo más que la propia vida para que el gobierno y sus instituciones del ejército puedan reconocer la gran labor de estos muchachos que han muerto luchando por representar a su país? En lo personal, no puedo encontrar una respuesta para justificar esto que está pasando. Mientras tanto la lucha sigue y la lista de latinos y de soldados en general fallecidos en combate sigue y seguirá aumentando. Entre más destrucción se haga en Irak, más reparaciones tendrán que hacerse. Así que Estados Unidos tendrá mucho trabajo que hacer los meses siguientes después delfinde la guerra y por supuesto muchos millones de dólares que gastar para reparar lo que sus bombas y armas hayan destruido en el lejano país. Ya que después del daño hecho entraran a reparar lo destruido. Irónicamente, mientras se gastarán miles de dólares haciendo reparaciones a los daños hechos por este mismo, Estados Unidos no tendrá suficiente dinero para enterrar a los que murieron luchando en la tierra de las reparaciones. Ni siquiera de esta manera tan insignificante se les puede agradecer a aquellos soldados caídos que fueron ordenados a luchar por algo que quizás muchos de ellos nunca entendieron. Mientras tanto, los familiares de los soldados muertos seguirán no sólo buscando una explicación a la muerte de sus seres queridos pero preguntándose si tan enorme sacrificio valió la pena. Que en paz descansen todos los soldados que han muerto en la guerra. Su valentía, amor, y sacrificio siempre serán admirados y recordados. ¡Gracias de todo corazón! ¡Gracias a los soldados ciudadanos de corazón!

Seeing The Pride student newspaper first hand suffer the effects of the lack of advertising and funding, many questions entered my head, but one overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general? If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of the Office of Communications which puts out "In the Loop" every week, allows student organizations to advertise their social events at restaurant bars? According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this light (As barflies),so why does put out these social gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8 P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations getting special permission from the president's office to do this? What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am not against having social gatherings at restaurant bars, on the contraiy, I am all for it. But I am against university administration giving The Pride rules on what kind of advertisements they should have when they are not following it themselves.

Audiences have been bombarded with images of destruction congruent with the American view of military superiority over those we hunt, thus providing viewers a sense of continuity and leaving them with a sentiment of pride for their homeland. Not taking into account issues of morality or public opinion, the combination of first-rate technology and the "real" element of this war appear to have captured America's attention. The cast of the most extravagant show in television history also proves to be rather impressive, as they have given life to an otherwise run-of-the-mill example of a military shellacking. The hero, our not so articulate Commander in Chief, has utilized his speech writers to their utmost potential by offering a stream of mouth watering one-liners worthy of Emmy nominations (if there were such a category), to the thousands of journalists worldwide who hang on his every word. In contrast, the villain, Saddam Hussein, has slithered away into the dark underbelly of his outwardly malevolent regime, again awaiting his chance to resurface and claim more blameless souls. The ever-steely Donald Rumsfeld plays the Secretary of Defense, and is giving the performance of his career, while Ollie North, most commonly known for his role as the victimized pawn in the Iran Contra Hearings, has returned to the stage in a supporting but nonetheless stirring role as the stoic Colonel in thefield.Even the media itself has taken part in the global melodrama by providing mediators like the antagonistic Bill O'Reilly, hunky Shepard Smith, and the always-steamy Greta Van Susteren. Now with the dramatic rescue of American POW Jessica Lynch the media has yet anotherflagto wave and another axe to grind with Hussein and his sinister cohorts.

Many stories have been held back from staff writers because of the lack of funding. Why can't the same rules apply for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop" when it comes to advertising? Going this route would give some power to The Pride over what is published and what is not. There are many bars and restaurants in San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves, could definitely benefit from having their business; especially next fall when Cai State San Marcos transforms itselffroma commuter school into a 24-hour campus. I believe with the changing environment going on at Cai State San Marcos there should also be a change in the university's primitive alcohol policies. E ditor's N ote: The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and Student Health Services in order to revise our current advertising policy. They have been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates. So the war has action, intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects that would give George Lucas wet dreams. Add this to the fact that it is brought to life by a gifted cast, and by Hollywood standards, you've got a winner. In almost every respect it's the perfect show. That's right, I said almost. There are two key criticisms that any true fan of high drama could unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the war itself is somewhat lackluster. George Bush Sr.'s war was called Operation Desert Storm. Now that was a powerful name for a military campaign. Operation Iraqi Freedom is uninspired and just doesn't do it for me. How about Operation Finish What We Started Twelve Years Ago? That I could get behind. And the second criticism is that it's just not sexy enough. Every show on television that is "all the rage" is centered around sex. Let's face it. Sex sells, and without it how is the war supposed to compete with shows like Blind Date, The Fifth Wheel and VIP1 Yes, we all have a right to our opinions, and we have a right to speak those opinions freely.

By all traditional definitions, conservatism means cautious, moderate, or disposed to preexisting establishments, institutions and norms. Simply put, being a conservative means not wanting to "rock the boat" for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except for independent media (both left and right), is conservative. ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all broadcast to vast segments of the American public — to people with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because of sponsorship, advertisements, and for the sake of ratings* these companies very shrewdly avoid pressing any extreme opinion (right or left), as they do not want to alienate viewers. In this sense, the media is neither left nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to "rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the industry chooses not to side with any particular cause; therefore, by definition the media is very conservative. Labeling the media as conservative is not necessarily a pejorative term though. It is simply stating that the industry is limiting the scope of discussion and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias is a two-way street. My second point I wanted to raise is your fear of liberalism of which I will try to assuage. As opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism seeks to press the frontiers of social progress. I assure you, liberals are not "Pinko Commie Socialists," they are people just like you and me. However, rather than embracing the status quo, they challenge it in hopes of a more positive future. The history of the United States is rife with such examples. The. American Revolution: a small minority of the colonial population decided that they had had enough and it was time to part with England. Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a pestering group of liberals waged a 30+-year campaign to end the horrid practice of slavery. In the late 1800s, the working man demanded his rights against the evils of unrestrained business; they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's compensation, etc. After nearly an entire century of agitation and civil disobedience, women procured suffrage with the 19th Amendment. In the 1960s we witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests. Now it's a struggle for gay rights. Even larger is the movement against war with Iraq. None of these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every single one of them was labeled as such. Without & doubt, the men and women overseas risk their lives to defend our freedom, but we cannot forget, or simply ignore, where these freedoms came from in thè first place. We need each other. That is the beauty of democracy: we may not see eye to eye, but together we make it work. liberalism for communism, and conservatism for fascism. Your level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle Eastern Fundamentalism and is quite disturbing. There is a large difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and frankly, fascism at home scares me more than terrorism from abroad. If you are so concerned about PAN, you should stop by a meeting; the door is always open. Until then, stop with the witty clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil discussion. Stephen Schultz Senior, History In sum, you have mistaken M edical M arijuana R esponse Dear Editors, Dear FHitrwc Recently, I read your article on Medical Marijuana. I found it interesting that California passed a proposition for the growing of marijuana for patients that need it for medical purposes. I think this is wonderful because of all of the sick people that can really use something to make them feel better. However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these sick patients may be adding to the growing population of young Americans using marijuana T « today. I can't «elp but, wonder h« « whether or not the reason why children are using marijuana today is because they have such easy access to it. This access is either through a loved one or someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis. I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow this product, then they are going to give it out to everyone that they know. However, I qannot help but wonder why it is so easy for young Americans to get this product. "* . ... .. are others around that can easily get a hold of it and use it for their own purposes, that's when things need to change. I care very much about those that are going through great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that they should be able to grow this plant in their own house. I think that doctors should set up labs where patients can go and smoke as much marijuana as they think they need in the doctor's presence. This in turn would probably cut down on the amount of kids and teenagers getting a hold of Growing marijuana for medical marijuana make it easier on adults reasons is okay, but when there to help these children get away from this problem: the best treatment that they can get. It only seems logical that if marijuana is the answer, then that is what they would want. Giving them the right to grow marijuana in their own homes is putting a lot of trust not only to the patients, but to others as well. I think that these patients should be allowed to smoke this plant of their own free will, however I believe that it should be done in the presence of doctors. Even though patients are allowed to grow small amounts of marijuana in their homes, it seems logical that they would want to keep this product out of reach for someone they either know or love very deeply. The number of kids that are addicted to this drug is outrageous and by allowing patients to grow their own marijuana, we are pretty much allowing these children to become addicted. Jennifer Fry Freshman, Biology In conclusion, I would just like t a say that these patients deserve Another Response to Commie Slackjaws Dear Editors: we want it to or not. It's human nature.

Interesting questions have arisen, not about the content of the games, but about whether the games should even be played. The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include college basketball, professional basketball, hockey, and baseball, have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but thus far have all decided to let the games be played as scheduled. First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled, we would be letting the enemy further affect our way of life. Whether or not you personally are a sports fan, there is no doubt that sports play an intricate role in the lives of many Americans. By changing our traditions, whether it is through postponing sports or anything else, we essentially bring the war home. That's not to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war, nor does it mean we should avoid tributes to the soldiers who fight for us; we simply need to draw the line between proper and unnecesIn my opinion, this is the right sary.

However, if we use sports as a means of temporarily relieving stress, and recognize that postponing the games will serve no other purpose than adding to that stress, we may be able to better cope with the unstable global situation of the present time. Kyle Trembley Freshman, Prebusiness �Things You Need to Know About NAFTA Dear Editors: I am a freshman at the university who is very concerned with how little students know about the insulting fiasco that is NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Students should know about the oppression that NAFTA causes. The area that the agreement affects most is Latin America. Albeit trade is way up from seven years ago, there are many problems that result from this. In no way does the lowered prices of goods from increased competition make up for all the job losses that emerged from NAFTA, not to mention all the environmental damages and social dislocation. NAFTA supporters believe that the agreement assists Mexico's economy drasti- cally, but they do not know that the nation was already liberalizing its economy for the better before the United States unnecessarily stepped in. They did this by beginning to invest in foreign goods and dropping tariffs. It's hard to tell whether the Mexican economy would be any better or worse today if NAFTA had not been agreed upon. During the United States debate over whether or not to pass NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there would be thousands of new jobs per 1$ billion in trade surplus, obviously assuming that the United States' exports would explode with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis launched Mexico into a recession, bringing the U.S. trade into deficit with it (the nation's exports surpassed that of its imports), U.S. job losses nearly reached the hundred thousand mark. It turns out that Clinton's and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs being created by x number of billion dollars was based upon guesses rather than proof The massive amount of layoffs caused by NAFTA is indisputable. In the U.S., nearly 150,000 laborers were eligible for NAFTA's Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five percent of them actually received any assistance or benefits from the program. Generally speaking, laid off U.S. workers earn a much lower average commission after they find a new job. While the loss of jobs in the U.S. is easy to recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing jobs significantly under NAFTA. This is because it became much more difficult for laborers to unionize after NAFTA was passed. Companies usually threaten to close down part of their business after attempts at unionizing occur in their facilities, andfifteenperated agricultural competicent of businesses did in tion with the U.S. has crefact close down at least part ated a disturbing amount of of their company after their poverty and suffering for employees unionized.

The subject is important yet misunderstood by many people. John Clayton Freshman, A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist" As a member of PAN, I could not resist the urge of responding to a letter, which is full of insults and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed mouths), written by someone who actually does not deserve to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying a few things for those who read the opinion titled "Slack Jawed" written by Anna Hall, I decided to write this letter. First of all, I cannot understand why you are so angry with PAN? Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact there are people out there do think different than you do? What happened to democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions? Did you come and try to talk to one of us? I have a solution though. I challenge you to a political debate. We can talk about any ideology, any thinker, or any writer. It would be a pleasure for me to hear your criticisms of Karl Marx and his works since you sound like you know what you are talking about in regards to Marx and Marxist theories. I would be delighted to hear your disagreements of the Communist Manifesto or The Capital. If you wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies: Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama, William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz? You pick. How about Islamic fundamentalism and Sayyid Qutb? Would you prefer to talk about Jerry Falwell and Christian Reconstruction theories? We can go way back and discuss Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustin. How about we discuss the emergence of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment from Weber to Kant, Sartre to Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke, Mussolini to Lenin? If your argument is that PAN members are illiterate about politics and political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl Marx, I challenge you to come and have a political debate with me, serious offer. A person who is capable of insulting, should also be capable of putting out an argument to back those insults. Maybe after that you will learn your lesson about not judging and insulting people you don't even know. Forget about Marx, I bet you don't even know the difference between Communism and Socialism. Since elementary school we're pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And we're told that we need a degree to succeed. I've been attending CSUSM since the fall of 2002. Since then, tuition has gone up and parking fees have more than doubled. And they continue to increase. Society looks at the lower class and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to attend a higher education system without the money? Sure now there are scholarships, but now the middle class is the ones who see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to qualify for most scholarships yet too poor to be able to pay for the cost themselves without starching a penny here and there. To get rich we must study, but to study we must be rich. In no way am I completely blaming CSUSM for the tuition increase, but for the parking fee increase and the ones yet to come, those words will be left unsaid. Sure I can write the governor or any other government official and wait months, if at that, for a response, but one voice is never as strong as hundreds or thousands. As for the parking increase, it was said that there was a window of opportunity to discuss the matter. I remember hearing about the meeting an hour before it was supposed to start. Great notice. Some of us have class that can't be missed, exams, or even work. The majority of students can't just drop everything in an hour. If something this important is up in the air for discussion a good amount of notice (say a week or more) should be given, as well as notification of the discussion throughout campus. Because of the outrageous parking fees, students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and soon in near by neighborhoods (that are nearly a mile away from campus). At least than we won't have to worry about students not getting enough exercise! Concerning the tuition, I'm not fighting for no fees, but at least a sensible one. For students there's three possible ways of dealing with tuition: pay it yourself, scholarships, or student loans. I can see how paying it yourself at a community college, but at a four-year it's stress. Do I have enough, what other bills will I not be able to pay, how many extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be Have a nice day and do not miss Bill O'Reilly tonight. With most sincere regards Civan Erman Gokcimen Senior, Political Science One last point: I know this is Higher Education is Not Cheap Dear Editors: going to disappoint you but your letter did not offend me or upset me at all. I just had a big smile on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not enough for some people to get out of Junior High behavior poor, of a minority, have good grades, be involved in school some how, and have racked up community service hours. And loans! It's the easiest at the ftioment thing to do, but jafter that it seems that you're getting your pay back for years after. The rates of tuition should be the same always, increasing discourages future students from applying to a four-year school. Our society stresses students to achieve high education, yet makes it a great expense that can't be obtained, and on top of that continues to raise the cost. If the governor or a government official builds his campaign on what society values essential - education - he or she should increase the quality, not the price.

I would think money would be available since they raised our parking permits so much. Another solution might be to get a shuttle service going which would be easier for those students parking farther away or coming from another destination, and this would give us more parking areas. These are just some suggestions; I know it is a lot harder to do than to say. that they just leave school and don't go that day. There have been days when I am so tired of driving around looking for a parking spot, that I just want to leave but it seems every time that happens, I end up seeing someone leave so I find a parking spot. The administration needs to take this problem seriously. It is detrimental to the school and students if the students miss class. till 5:30pm and all the other parking lots. It would just be nice if we could add onto the lower parking lot because there is dirt out in front of it not being used; this area would give us a few more spots. I also think that the planners of the school should have thought about the parking situation before building a school.

About 75 students learned which fork to use, to keep their napkin on their lap during the entire meal and how the salt and pepper are treated as a married couple. The Career and Assessment Center (CAC) and Associated Students Inc. (ASI) joined together to put on the "First Annual Business Etiquette Dinner" at the Lake San Marcos Country Club.

"Many people thought I wasn't tough enough to be a D.A because I am a woman," said Dumanis. She continued to comment on the nature of men and women in law enforcement, noting that men and women simply respond differently, but provided no examples. Professor Garcia of the Women's Studies department disagreed slightly with Dumanis' assumptions of the innate differences between men and women. Garcia asserts that gender "is socially constructed, not biologically determined." Women respond differently than men because "this is how they were socialized to 'do gender' and not because it is something biologically innate." Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an experienced county clerk, assistant D.A, felony prosecutor, criminal trial judge, and seasoned law enforcement manager. "My whole career has been in law enforcement," states Dumanis. She admitted to have gone through some changes because of her gender to make her more palatable to the masses. She got a haircut, began to wear make-up and obtained a consultant to help with her wardrobe. This issue of needing to look feminine and fulfill a stereotype in f rom p age i community, but to no avail. "I believe in personal freedom, fiscal responsibility and accountability. These are the corner stones of the Republican party...I have to be true to myself," Dumanis said. are women," Tierney said, "and I think it worked to our advantage...and people just love Bonnie." Dumanis and Tierney also attribute the victory to San Diego's changing demographics and a series of defeated obstacles, such as negative perceptions of her gender and personal lifestyle. Historically, as maintained by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters since 1991, San Diego County is a more conservative region, meaning that the majority of its populous votes conservatively, so it was a big deal when voters designated a gay Republican woman as their new D.A by a margin of only 3,500 votes in the closest election in Southern California history. "We were very underestimated because we Because of the obstacles relating to gender and sexual orientation, Dumanis and Tierney had to change the nature of the campaign so that it, according to Tierney, focused not only on "why to choose Bonnie, but why not the other guy;" this in reference to the borderline smear campaign necessary to win the election.

"I thought things had changed," said Farmer in reference to feminine acceptance based on a compliance with an imposed cultural standard, "but obviously they haven't." Besides the negative cultural perception of her gender, Dumanis didn't get the support of her own political party because of her gay lifestyle, according to her close friend and political consultant Jennifer Tierney. Many friends and colleagues tried to get Dumanis to switch political parties because Democrats are perceived as being more friendly to the homosexual Keith Speers from page 1 Speers was responsible for working with the ASI board of directors and overseeing that ASI staff implements the board's goals. The executive director serves as a member on the division of student affairs senior management team and directs the financial, risk management and developmental aspects of ASI. ASI staff has refused to disclose Speers' salary. However, in a copy of the Fall 2002 ASI budget obtained by The Pride, it was acknowledged that $201,517 was allotted for the salaries of the part-time and fulltime professional staff, who included Speers as executive director; Poggi, who was then the assistant executive director; Marilyn McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen Hinton, program director for the Early Learning Center. Hinton is no longer on staff with ASI. The board appointed Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14 meeting. This position, as determined by the board, will last for one year. Poggi has been with ASI since Mar. 11, 2002. She said that she "wants to become the ASI attorney Richard Bromley refused to comment on the Speers' situation, explaining that because he is counsel for ASI, it is "inappropriate" for him to discuss any aspect of it. Brown wanted to clarify that the departure of Speers Union Tribune," Dumanis said, then Tierney added, "but he didn't have the support of San Diego lawyers, and that helped a lot." Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no confidence from the county prosecutors' union after a series of events that called Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized on the scandals, which according to the North County Times included two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the county more than 1.25 million dollars," as well as a history of marijuana use. "Everything was truthful," Tierney said, "but we just didn't show the incumbent in the best light." and installment of Poggi as interim should be a smooth one, which should not result in any "break of business." Both Brown and Poggi believe that the student population will not notice the change in leadership. The approval of the official copy of the minutes from the Mar. 14 meeting is on the agenda of the next meeting of the ASI board, which is scheduled for Mar. 28, in Commons 206 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Once approved, these minutes are available upon request. However, it is possible that the released minutes will continue to questions unanswered about Speers' sudden departure. bl By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The 75th annual Academy Awards were held on schedule this year, but it was a slightly more subdued, and shorter,, c eremony than in previous years. Chicago won the most awards, a total of six, and the Holocaust drama, The Pianist, won three. S The increased likelihood of ^ war led many to believe that the ceremony would be altered in some way. While there were cutaways to news updates once every hour, the ceremony largely went without any mention of the war until the last two hours. Attending stars were heavily conflicted as to appropriate behavior. Stars had reportedly asked their designers to set aside a dark suit in addition to the gowns they had already chosen. Some decided to go ahead with * traditional glamour, including Halle Berry, who claimed her gown would inspire the troops. Nicole Kidman said in Entertainment Weekly that she was "in two minds" about attending the event during a war. "There are two arguments, aren't there, where they say you need to continue on with things and not be stopped, and then there's the other thing where you just say, of course, it would feel very strange to show up," she said. A few stars eventually decided not to attend, including presenter Will Smith, whose publicist said he "felt uncomfortable attending." Many of the stars felt it inappropriate to speak out directly against the war, instead silently protesting by wearing small golden dove pins, symbolizing a desire for world peace. away by the LAPD. When they tried to approach the venue, police pushed them back, and eventually twelve were arrested.

A few winners and presenters used the stage to speak about the war. The first person to speak out on the stage was presenter Gael Garcia, who mentioned that if Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, the subject of a film nominated for several awards, was alive she would be protesting against the war. Michael Moore, the winner for best documentary, proclaimed during his speech, "We live in fictional times. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Shame on you, Mr. Bush!" His remarks led to scattered applause and some boos. Later, best actor winner Adrien Brody received a standing ovation for his "prayer for a peaceful and swift resolution." He dedicated his award to a friend serving overseas. After the show, he was reported as saying it was difficult "to celebrate when there is sadness and conflict in the world, but our achievements are valid and we deserve to celebrate that." Nicole Kidman defended the decision to hold the Oscars during wartime in her best actress acceptance speech, saying, "Art is important, because you believe in what you do, and there's a tradition that needs to be upheld." When asked his views about whether holding the awards on Sunday was appropriate, Honorary Oscar winner Peter O'Toole said, "If we civilians can't go on properly, what are they fighting for?" Best original screenplay winner Pedro Almodovar dedicated his award to the peace movement.

While traditional pain treatments may no longer be effective, some have found one that is. The problem is that its use is against the law. People suffering from illnesses as varied as anorexia, migraines, chronic pain, AIDS, and cancer have found relief by smoking marijuana, and the federal government is taking action against them. The Proposition Proposition 215, The Compassionate Use Act of 1996, passed by a small majority of California voters, provides for the growing and possession of small quantities of marijuana. State police have been instructed about how to handle citizens who are found with small amounts of marijuana for medical use, since patients and their caregivers may grow and possess marijuana any amount of marijuana. for medical purposes in the This conflict among State of California. governmental agencies, and the question of state Prop. 215 added a section sovereignty versus federal to the California Health and jurisdiction, is more than Safety code providing that academic.

Council seem generous, since marijuana is still Federal law, on the other- considered an illegal drug hand, forbids possession of by the federal government. However, McWilliams considers them restrictive, unnecessary, and in violation of the will of the voters as expressed in the passage of Prop. 215. McWilliams smokes marijuana in order to alleviate the pain he suffers from a motorcycle accident. He and his housemate cultivate the drug for their own medical use. "We considered ourselves an information resource center," said McWilliams, and clarifies that they never sell or distribute marijuana. "We are very strict," he says. He continues that "for protection under the law," he requires the patients who approached him to have a letter from their physician, stating that the patient would be helped by using marijuana. McWilliams would then teach the patient how to cultivate their own plants. McWilliams uses his home garden as a model for how to successfully cultivate the plants, which The Church of the SubGenius Making no pretense to sincerity, the church of the SubGenius claims that by using their techniques of "BULLDADA" and "MOREALISM" and, perhaps most importantly, sending in money, one ; can "MIRACULOUSLY !

McWilliams now faces a possible prison term of six months. After his case is resolved and he has served any possible sentence, he will be leaving the area. "San Diego is a police state," he said. He plans to move to northern California, where medical marijuana laws are more liberal. "I believe in democracy. I believe in America," said McWilliams, but he added, "today, sick and dying people have the right to this medication." According to McWilliams, there are a number of countries investigating therapeutic marijuana, including New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Locally, UCSD is conducting a similar study on marijuana.

U.S. have determined Battling Pinky Boys and Promoting Sacred Slack By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed cult. It is among a group of "new" religions that many may not be familiar with. The movement was conceived and designed using academic studies of cults and cult phenomena. Religious cults typically provide their members with an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which if examined rationally will often make no logical sense at all. For the sub genii, this goal is the pursuit of slack. are notoriously difficult, time-consuming to grow, and plagued with problems, including pests. According to McWilliams, it takes about four months for a plant to fully mature from seedlings. He has invited patients, police officers, and city council members to his home to view the garden. Although it is behind a protective fence, he says that he has been very open about his activities. Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults is the veneration of a leader whom followers view as having a special connection to the divine. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, "The Living Slack Master and High Eptot," fulfills this role for the altered state Church of the SubGenius. of consciousness. The church of the The actual theology of the SubGenius is happy to church of the SubGenius is embrace this interpretabased on the writings of J.R. tion as well as almost Dobbs, which are contained any other that might be in various tracts and books. offered. The sub genii will be happy to sell these publications to Distilling a cohesive anyone with the cash and theology from sub genii litthe will to buy. Some sug- organization is genuine in the beliefs they do espouse. Nonetheless, a careful and repeated reading of their l iterature reveals some consistent ideas. They believe that the planet Earth is under the control of an immensely powerful extra terrestrial being, Jehovah 1, who is an essentially selfish entity but one that can be placated in order to achieve "slack" for humanity. "Slack" can be defined as getting something for nothing, or as having more than enough time to do everything one wants to do. Slack is a state of being very similar to the Christian notion of living under Grace. The sub genii have been involved in working with Jehovah 1 for millennia, with the goal of creating a paradise on Earth. These sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister "Pink Boys" who insist on perpetuating false notions such as economic scarcity and the law of preservation of energy. The pink boys seem to be some kind of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity enslaved to capitalism and conventional morality. They are responsible for our modern systems of ethics, religion, and economics that deprive individuals of their Jehovah 1-given right to slack. Year in and year out, the sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur on July 5, and the church celebrates accordingly each year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse to actually occur has led some to suggest that sub genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as an excuse to hold riotous parties, though the church denies this. Those interested in a religion that can be used to justify almost any kind of hedonistic excess and not opposed to exposing themselves to further spiritual confusion as well as to possible police surveillance can contact the church of the SubGenius at www.subgenius.com.

Women Performers Dance the Middle East and Mexico UCLA shows world cultures through dance By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer In celebration of Women's History month, culture, dance, and tradition was what the Cal State San Marcos audience, students, and teachers experienced with the UCLA performers on Tuesday, March 18th in the Arts Building. The audience learned about two different traditional dances, watched performers from UCLA dance on stage, and practiced some moves with the performers as well.

The audience was also invited by the dancers from UCLA to come down to the stage and learn some of the basic steps from each of the dances performed. They danced some Middle Eastern moves like the rump 'shaking shimmy' that characterizes Middle Eastern folk dance. They also enjoyed dancing with partners in some of the traditional dances that have originated in Oaxaca. Both the audience and the performers were happy to interact with each other.

In order to get you a little more acquainted with what they are all about, it's important to share a little of their musical background, where they see themselves now as well as in the future, and some other tidbits of what they want their fans to know about them and the messages they hope to convey. each one of them has maintained Balance, at the Flying Bridge the same dream since childhood, in Oceanside where MKV which is to be involved in music Productions was putting on a for life.

"The music scene is in big trouble right now. Everything is too played out," said Baca. "Everyone sounds the same, and there is not enough originality" Crist added. They don't like to follow the crowd, and they hope this is just one of the messages received by those who go to see their shows. Although each of the members holds a day job, they agree that getting their music career up and running is their number one priority. This month has been especially busy for them. The band is also currently in production with Black Farm Records with a $6,000 contract, and they are working on a fivesong demo CD, which they hope to release within the next two months. The show that had been scheduled at Pounders last Thursday night was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict for Crist, but they opened for The Innocents at Longshots the following night.

WEBSITE REVIEW IP» IS t 'Campus^ Voice POLITICAL PREJUDICE To Mr. Brian Dobbins and his conservative counterparts: The founding trio has seen the site continuously grow since its inception. In its first year and a half the site has seen some 335,940 visitors and is now celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor evaluated. The site's traffic rating has made them one of the largest college sites in the world. Upon browsing the site I found it to be informative as well as entertaining. First, at the top of every page is the Quote of the Moment, in which amusing quotes from Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation section is the A+ Club where the best-rated professors are showcased. Another section is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions are posed and Ross attempts to respond in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes successful. Kasey on College is yet another section of the site that attempts to offer advice to issues of college life in general. OOF Courtesy Illustration where visitors are given a question to ponder and then can vote for the response they find the most fitting, and the statistical data is up to the moment. But by f ar my favorite part of the site is the Hilarious Posts segment. This is a section where peoples' funniest quotes on prof evals are selected for viewers to read. Some of them are absolutely ingenious, and I recommend at least visiting that particular part of the site. Out of simple curiosity I decided to check and see if any of my professors had been evaluated and was disappointed to find out that although one of my instructors was evaluated, there was only one other evaluation of a professor f rom CSUSM. My hope is that with this article, this trend will change, so log on and offer an evaluation for a professor that you feel strongly about, whether it is positive or negative.

Let me illustrate. Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being bora on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others " I'm afraid I too am part of the oppressive and outspoken liberal "bias" here at the university.

An EOP student profile te/fi/ig the story of success Vox The Pride The CSUSM Career and Assessment Center presents the fair every spring. Sandy Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center said, "I think considering the current state of the economy, this fair was a big success. [Job seekers] got quality time with the districts, and overall, districts seemed positive about hiring our candidates." 56 school districts and teacher recruitment centers throughout California and Nevada came to talk to the 412 candidates looking for jobs as teachers. These districts all had jobs for graduating students; they did not just have promises of jobs, but j obs that are available now. Sheldon Kelman will graduate this May from the CSUSM credential program, and he reported that it was a "Great job fair, [but he was] a little disappointed there wasn't more out of state school districts." Natalie Metras, also graduating in May, said that the overall fair was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all so helpful." She went on to say the teacher prep program was very helpful and that the College of Education taught her just what she needs to know about looking for a job. Local school districts that participated in the event included Fallbrook Union Elementary, Lake Elsinore Unified School District (USD), Murrieta Valley USD, Temecula Valley USD, and Vista USD.

Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced their decision Thursday, March 13 at Cal State Fullerton. It seemed from an early start that Gonzalez was favored to be the new president at Sacramento. Gonzalez was the only finalist who had worked in the CSU system and he had been personally asked by Chancellor Charles B. Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further speculation that Gonzalez would not have applied if Reed would not support his candidacy. Gonzalez has denied this and believes that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark Kelso and University of Houston President Karen Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position. Marcos.

The broken water pipes and flooded classrooms provided CSUSM an ideal opportunity for this very thing. "We handle electrical [outages] every once in a while and make contingency plans for them...but this is the first time we have had a flooding problem." The difference between an electrical problem and a flooding problem in terms of class locations is that in a power outage, the only classes truly affected are those which rely partially or entire on computers. In that case, Barsky directs classes that use computers to a number of other computer lab sites on campus with preprinted signs, while the other classes that do not rely on computers have to option to meet at the teacher's discretion.

The advisors* current CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious, and excited to set the bar for future RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of CSUSM's 24-hour campus community. Although the residence hall will not be ready until next September, the RA's are already working in full swing to prepare for what they feel is a very exciting event. They are currently giving tours of the housing facilities, assisting the University Villages staff, and training together to create what they feel is a very important sense of community for themselves and their residents. The nine RA's for next fall will be Jimmy Barbour, Shannon Barnett, Jasen Braginton, Denise Caroj Bree Daniels, Jennifer Hauser, Chrisitina Polowsky, Carlos Quichocho, and Jesse Taylor. Being one of the first RA's at CSUSM is seen as a great honor for these nine students.

The first two Angels to maintain order at Altamont. intended sites had to be abandoned in succession due to various legal As the cameras rolled, capturing the unintended festival of Dionysus, the Hell's Angels more than lived up to their reputation, savagely treating other coneertgoers by beating them with fists, boots, and lead weighted pool cues with little or no provocation. Hell's Angels also drove their motorcycles indiscriminately through the throng, injuring several people, and used full beer cans as projectiles to hurl at the gathered mass. The situation developed into a deadly crescendo when the Grateful Dead refused to go on stage due to the violence and the Rolling Stones delayed their set because they wanted to be filmed as the Sun was setting. The long delay coupled with the 30-degree temperatures in the Altamont pass seemed to ratchet up the fear and anger already present in the crowd. At this point both the concert and the documentary take on a weird surrealistic quality. As soon as the Rolling Stones take the stage and begin the intro to "Sympathy for the Devil" skirmishes begin breaking out at the edge of the stage. The band stops and starts playing several times as both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards plead with the crowd to stop fighting. The Hell's Angels beat a member of the audience unconscious and dragged him onto the Dance S tudents Portray Maids stage. A naked young woman, obviously in an advanced state of intoxication, attempts to climb onto the stage and receives similar treatment. Then, most horribly, 18-yearold Meredith Hunter is stabbed several times in full view of the documentary cameras. In spite of the hallucinatory combination of evening haze and blinding strobe lights one can clearly see the Hell's Angels identifying "colors" and the sinister glint of the knife as it enters the doomed Hunter's neck. Hunter died from the stab wounds and the horrific beating he received, as he lay helpless-on the ground. The film shows that Hunter may have been holding a gun, and the Hell's Angels have always claimed that they acted to prevent Hunter from shooting at the stage. Others say that several members of the Hell's Angels had been assaulting Hunter, an African-American, because he was with a White girl" and. that Hunter drew a pistol in self defense. To this day, no one knows exactly what happened. What everyone knows is that the youth culture of the 1960s lost its innocence, and the Rolling Stones inane Marvel Comics image of darkness came to chilling fruition while the cameras rolled in "Gimme Shelter."

Out of State & Out of Luck By AMBER ROSSLAND For The Pride As a productive member of the CSUSM student community, I reached for the stars and strived for excellence. I was on the dean's list of academic excellence during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a semester, maxing out on credits, and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete every course I thought I needed for graduation. Apparently, however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my success in the jumbled graduation advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

When we are given more notice, we are more able to-accommodate the busy schedule of a university president and other important sources for the article. CSUSM's external affairs department, headed by Rick Moore, failed to include The Pride when "courtesy notices" were sent out to the other papers on Feb 26. Moore finally notified us on the morning of Feb. 28. But perhaps that's the point. This isn't thefirsttime that The Pride has been 'unintentionally' left out ofimportant events that are occurring on campus. Many of you may remember last fall when one of CSUSM's own students had disappeared and tragically committed suicide. Moore's office and the local media had a press conference with Alex Zingaro's parents while the search for him was still on, but The Pride was once again left out of the loop - we found out about that press conference from the local papers as well. Moore would have us believe that the reason for the delay is because, as he put it, the daily papers need more notice than The Pride, which is a weekly paper. We argue that we, the only student-run press of CSUSM, need as much notice as possible — specifically because we are a weekly paper. We don't have the luxury of a staff of full-time (paid) reporters that can drop everything and cover aritory. Furthermore, as students we are less able to arrange our schedules in order to accommodate the availability of President Gonzalez - if we are ever to hope for an You are told to trust advisors, ask them what classes to take, ask them to evaluate your graduation requirements, but when it comes down to it, you are left alone to deal with the consequences of their errors. What kind of system is CSUSM running where it takes so long for them tofigureout that you are missing a class that there is no way you can even register for it until a year after the fact? This is a small university right now, but looking into the future, what are they going to do as it grows? Will it take them a year after you're gone tofigureout you need one more class? Do they expect you to drop your entire life and move back to take one class because of their mistake? I wish I knew. Moore's actions speak louder than his words. Without allowing us access to the story, we fall behind the local papers in covering the events on our own campus. How can we ever hope to establish a successful journalism program at CSUSM i f the student newspaper is neglected so blatantly in the face of real news? We're not asking for an exclusive, but we do expect equality. Our question then to the administration is this - i f we are to prove ourselves in any capacity to be a legitimate news medium indeed the only free student press at CSUSM, how are we supposed to do so without university support? The administration tells us that we are customers of this institution of higher learning, and yet they leave us in the dark and fail to notify us when something important happens. This i s incredibly bad customer service. EDITORIAL In the past, Moore and other members of his office have been quick to tell the editors and staff writers that he is "one of us." We have listened to him tell us all about his stint with other college newspapers, and what a supporter he is of student journalism. Moore's oversight in not notifying The Pride staff of this important story, and others like it - whether it was intentional or nót - is inexcusable. We are tired of being ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to be notified in the same way and at the same time as airy other newspaper. �C AMPUS LIFE (for 24-hour permits) will resemble the current rate of the general permits that are offered to all CSUSM students." First of all, how is the term "current rate" defined? The current rate of spring passes is less money than the raised price fall passes will be, and the residence halls are scheduled to open in the fall. So what price will the residents be paying? No matter how much the cost, student residents will have a "reserved" parking spot for the semester. At least campus residents, in all fairness, will have the privilege to park on pavement for 24 hours while many of us continue to park in the mud and be out of the lot by 5:30 or fined. Dear editors: Many students complain that there is never anything to do on campus, that we don't have an active campus life. But considering the fact that we are a commuter campus, I believe we have an active campus life; you just have to look around to see all the wonderful events that are hosted. But don't forget, as the article points out, "a reserved spot howThe Arts and Lecture Series ever is not without a price."

So on March 17-20, you will have die opportunity to support these events. If the IRA increase is passed, it will allow allocate more money to events hosted on campus. So for all of you who complain that there is no campus life, this is your opportunity to ensure that there will be. Just think, if it were not for the IRA, you would not be reading this article, since The Pride is run and published on IRA funds. Vote yes on the IRA increase on March 17-20. With much appreciation, Karin Giron Senior, Business PARKING ISSUES Dear Editors: After reading The Pride article, "CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour campus," I was relieved to find out that the university is indeed concerned with the parking issue here on campus, that is, only for the fall residents of the University Village apartments. According to the article, a 24-hour parking lot is currently under construction to accommodate the 460 students that will occupy the buildings scheduled to open in fall '03. I have yet to hear of any near future solutions to the current parking crisis on campus, but at least the University Village residents will be taken care of. According to the article, "Prices I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack of spaces for Village residents mean that regular parking will be even more impacted during class times? During the 2002-2003 school year, Cal State San Marcos admitted more students than parking accommodations were available for. We are dreamers if we believe this will change any time soon, especially because the more students the university lets in, the more funding it will have toward the parking structure that our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't the University plan for population growth and facility expansion long ago? It is easy for administration to decide that parking rates will go up due to their lapse in logic while the number of available spaces will stay the same. And now, the concern of the university goes to the village residents and their parking facilities. It must be a coincidence that the students who will be contributing more to CSUSM's profit will be likewise rewarded with benefits. It is clear that Cal State is an institution for the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and not education is the driving force behind the school. If I am going to be treated like a consumer at this university, then at least give me some consumer rights.

So now that you've got that money what can you do with it? Let's see, going to the movies will run you about nine bucks, add some popcorn and soda and you've pretty much spent the entire fifteen dollars. How about a concert? Well, if you wanted to see any big name band $15 might get you a toe inside the venue, but that's it. Perhaps there's a famous author speaking at an event, While the cost might befreeat the rate gas prices are going it would probably cost you your entire $15 to drive there and park. Hmmm, not much $15 can really get you nowadays, right? Hold on now folks, there's A LOT your $15 can get you at Cal State San Marcos!!! Free movies, free worldrenowned speakers, free concerts, free art events.. all brought to you through the Arts & Lectures series which is funded directly through the IRA fee (Instructionally Related Activities fee) which you pay as part of your student fees each semester. If you're like me you probably don't pay much attention to what the heck it is that our semester fees cover, but this is one time you really should. In a nutshell, some of the major programs the IRA fee helps fund are; the Arts and Lectures Series, the Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the Intercultural Speaker Series. The IRA fee has been $5 per semester for the past 12 years and as we all know, the cost of everything has gone up. In order to bring our campus in line with the average for all CSU campuses (range is $4-$ 111 per semester), there is a referendum up for a vote March 17-20, asking for small increases over the next 3 years. The first increase would be from $5 to $20 starting this summer with subsequent $5 increases through 2006, bringing the total to $35. I realize that all of us were hit with some pretty big increases this semester (parking ring a bell?), but this is one time that I beg you to not scoff at the idea of forking over a bit more money. When you think of all the good that a measly $15 can bring to your university experience, doesn't it seem worth it to skip . a few Starbucks trips or pass up that next meal out and instead put that $15 to better use? The week of March 17-20 each and every one of you has the opportunity to H OW THE WAR IS AFFECTING M Y P OCKETBOOK Consumers, When I first arrived in Germany in September of 2002, before war with Iraq was imminent, the exchange rate between the Euro and the dollar was slightly in my favor. In general it was about a 1 to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily avoided the task of converting amounts in my head when making purchases or having to carry a pocket calculator with me at all times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was 5 dollars to me, and taking out 300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With the US on the brink of war I have watched the Euro grow to become stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September may not seem like a lot, but 10 cents on ever dollar means 30 lost when I take 300 out of the ATM, and it adds up. Since then, my fellow American students and I are constantly watching the rates stray from our favor. One student, enraged when she found a few hundred dollars to be missing from her bank account, realized she hadn't been calculating the exchange rate difference since it had so drastically changed. This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation has weakend the American dollar. My current Professor who is from Australia even remarked that the Australian dollar is the strongest its been all year in comparison to the American dollar. This is new tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the US Canadian border and fully took advantage of the great exchange rates to go shopping or go on a short vacation. When I moved to San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I always thought exchanges would be in my favor. This is a metaphor for how I thought about cultural relationships as well. In the past, I believed that being an American meant that people around the world looked up to me. That I had the better lifestyle and cultural values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias existed within me, and I didn't even realize it until I ventured off US soil for more than some cross cultural shopping or a vacation. how much they love America and would like to live there, but that I have met just as many people who aren't at all thrilled with the American way. This is perfectly ok with me, in fact its wonderful. In the same way I appreciate so many things that my American lifestyle affords me, others should bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes the world worth experiencing. Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you from seeing another way and view on doing things. I only wish that I could get my 10 cents back for every time I have realized this. By Emily Commer Senior Global Business Management IP Germany POLITICS Dear Editors: A recent exchange of editorials in The Pride newspaper regarding a liberal bias on campus has deeply troubled me. The latest response, written by Sean Mattingly (junior, Business) was particularly specious. In it, he calls for liberals to "have a little respect for your country, its history, its founders, and your freedom." Although no one would argue with the ideals his statement embraces, such words do little to address the real issues that endanger freedom in our world today—nor do they encourage the kind of constructive analysis that is essential to any thinking individual. When we do take the time to study our nation's history, we learn that the struggles that have defined this country are far from simple—they can't be easily couched into a neat little package and stamped "freedom." The story of America is, in fact, the story of the struggle between classes. This is not, as Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in (our) mind(s)." There is no liberal or conservative here, no right or wrong—just facts inherent to capitalism. Higher education is a place for questioning and reasoning, not a place for parroting half-truths and clichés. The fact that this nation was born from—and developed alongside— the class struggle is not something to ignore in the name of some larger sense of nationalism. What we get then is only an ideology of ignorance, and that is certainly not what we all agree makes America great. Today exposure to the real issues and perspectives from both sides is very hard to come by. The media system is controlled by a handful of international corporations and real investigative journalism is fast becoming a casualty of bottom-line profits. Although it is difficult to gain exposure to "both sides of the coin," this is exactly what we must strive for: a true understanding of Living in Germany I see how the motives behind the policies much the Germans appreciate which shape our country and their rules, systems, and ways of doing things. Not to say that See POLITICS, page 12 I don't meet people who tell me �POLITICS from page 1 1 determine our freedoms. We must remember that money is a very powerful motivator in the contemporary world. We must, especially as scholars, pursue all avenues of thought and make assessments of those perspectives based upon knowledge. What I am talking about here is intellectual responsibility. There is nothing more patriotic than this. It is time to start demanding of each other—and most importantly, of ourselves—a greater commitment to civic responsibility. This means we must move outside the boxes of thought that are imposed upon us when we turn on the television. We must remain skeptical—all thinking people do. Today it is more important than ever to do so, as our country prepares to engage in war, and likely without the support of the United Nations—a body politic that stands for the collective voice of the civilized world. Only through careful consideration can we become constructive participants in the noble struggle to achieve "a new birth of freedom—(so) that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). Robert Woerheide Junior, LTWR MEDIA POLITICS ment of life...for all minorities..." Okay then, why not go to another country just for a few years, then come back, look us in the eye, tell us life is better somewhere else, and prove us wrong? You do that, and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, which showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did not mean to go on such a long tangent, but I felt those issues had to be addressed. In closing: this is a public institution. And therefore it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs over another. As my father likes to say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you two - along with some teachers here - are living proof. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication INALIENABLE RIGHTS Dear Editors: I am responding to the editorials in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride. I would first like to point out that not all conservatives think like Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's views "were perhaps branded at a young age." I agree that his verbiage comes across a bit terse and offensive at times and it may be due to his limited exposure to differing opinions from his own. out a way to assist Mr. Mattingly without alienating his ideas. He, too, must make an effort not to alienate the opinions that are different from his own. He should have afforded all of you the same courtesy! Everyone involved has therightto express an opinion and it is interesting to see the flow of dialogue, but it has turned into a "bash fest" more than the free exchange of ideas. regard each others as equals. So why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn right? If we all believed we were truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences in our 24-hour day and take it for what it is: a passing, fleeting instance. "This too will pass." Sometimes, it takes a bigger person to stand up and do what is right instead of continuing this cycle of negative debate. At some point, we need to allow "bygones to be bygones" and start over on a clean slate. In doing this, respect must be extended to everyone on both sides of the coin in order to facilitate this free exchange of ideas. We live in a very populated world. People are not going to disappear. So, why not enjoy them while we are alive. Treat the situation that stalls your day for a mere 10th of a second as a tiny instance in the large scale of your life. Smile more, whine less.

On another note I have noticed while driving to school as well that trees along interstate 15 are being cut down. While at the same time landscaping is being done at CSUSM. Why some effort can't be made to relocate these trees to CSUSM so that students can enjoy them for years to come. Even though it may not be cost effective the beautification of CSUSM is priceless!

MARCH 11. 200.1 Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The results of the 2002 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) have been released and Cal State San Marcos has received high marks from students for the third year in a row. The survey compares the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to those in master's level institutions across the country, as well as other schools in the CSU system. The NSSE survey has been conducted every spring since 2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend on such activities as writing and group work. College staff is not involved with the survey. The Center for Survey Research at Indiana University compiles the questions and randomly selects which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San Marcos students were chosen to take part in the survey, which was distributed to around 80,500 students nationally.

The CFA is also worried about the proposed cuts in student service funding, which will reduce the extent of cultural, social and developmental programs that are accessible to CSU students. The CFA has declared that "Unfortunately, CSU administrators view the Governor's proposal as a 'best case scenario' and many policy makers believe the CSU's exposure to additional cuts is significant."

Cal State University San Marcos does not have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar to the spring commencement. The fall 2003 graduates will be included with the spring 2004 graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement committee decides upon. Fall 2003 graduates will be given a small reception in their honor at the end of the fall semester in December 2003. The commencement ceremony is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony like high school and university graduations. The graduates wear robes, walk up to the stage in front of friends, family, and all other graduates in order to receive their diplomas for the completion of their degrees. The Fall Recognition Recep- tion, which will be held in the fall graduates' honor after the fall semester, consists of a small reception with refreshments, speeches from members of the administration, and takes place in a casual atmosphere. The graduates' names are not read, they do not wear a robe, and they do not receive their diplomas up on stage. In years past, President Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the ASI President have spoken at the reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus. Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall? "At this time, no," According to the vice president of student affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez, "The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive. Additionally, extensive research in the CSU has shown that there are no campuses that hold a fall commencement ceremony. In response to student requests we instituted a Fall Recognition Reception in Fall 01, continued in Fall 02 and are already making plans for Fall 03."

The learning of a second language is not a requirement at many schools, and graduating seniors are much more likely to learn a second language before they graduate. Students at San Marcos report a slightly larger emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than at other master's level schools, particularly at the freshmen level. Seniors at San Marcos are slightly less likely to learn through repetition of memorized material than other CSU students, though nationwide and at the freshman level there is an equal emphasis on memorization.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held on campus at Forum Plaza, but because of construction projects in that area of campus, the ceremony was moved to the Del Mar Fairgrounds where it was held last year, and where it will be held again this spring. What can students do to voice their opinion on this topic? "Over the next few months elected ASI representatives will be going to students and asking for comments/thoughts on these opinions; students should take the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum Plaza and an information session where students can also share their thoughts," said Martinez.

They are more likely to make presentations and work in groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they are more likely to ask questions in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they are happy with their education and would enroll in this school again. More CSUSM students reported that their class work makes them better writers and more technologically capable than did students at other schools. San Marcos students are also happier with their faculty than other CSU students, though nationally the response to faculty is similar. Alyssa Fi n kelstei n Martha Sarabia Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Jason Padilla Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall said to be similar to the fall of 2002 numbers, but data is still being gathered. The deadline for spring 2004 graduation is in late September, so the figures for spring 2004 commencement will not be available until sometime after the deadline. Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools in this regard, but much more so than national schools, especially among freshmen. Also, students at San Marcos are less likely to work in internships or apply what they learn in school to their current jobs, and less likely to interact with faculty outside of class. San Marcos students, seniors especially, reported that there is little support on campus for non-academic needs, such as family or social issues.

Commenting on San Marcos' first place position, Axlund said, "As soon as we start getting too comfortable with where we are in the standings and stop putting forth the effort I know we can, the other schools out there will pass us." When asked if he felt that would happen, he replied "Not at all. We are all good players, and we will just keep playing." The men's next golf tournament will be on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at the Diablo Grande Golf Club.

Weather was on the compliable side for opening day, and the women's golf team gave a respectable performance by finishing in first. The second day weather conditions were not so forgiving because of the rain.

By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos had the pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla Girls last Tuesday, and the sold out show began at 6 p.m. in the Arts building. Born in New York City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls started as a public educational campaign, fighting against the devaluation of women in art and science culture. Guerrilla Girls have produced over 100 humorous, sarcastic, in your face and, to some, offensive posters, stickers, books, printed objects, and billboards as their voice. Over the year they have been a part of events that have exposed sexism and racism in politics, the art world,film,and the culture at large. Monkeying Around The show opened with the infamous Guerrilla Girls coming down the aisles, adorned in true jungle drag fashion (mammoth size gorilla masks and black attire) and throwing bananas out to the audience.

CATALAN Pride Staff Writer Learning and thinking about societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at CSUSM - cultural life, political life, and social life. The societal realization and coming of age of the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of what a woman is today. The events this year on campus will consist of various events that will be held on campus from Mar. 4 through Mar. 27. One of the scheduled events for Women's History Month at CSUSM is "The Feminism Is For Everybody Panel, which will be on Mar: 19, 2003,Sfid the host of the panel will ?? be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor of Women's Studies, along with guest lecturer, Professor Denise MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated, "This student panel is intended to answer the question, 'What is feminism?' by addressing critical issues ranging from feminism, welfare reform to feminism, and the Father's Right's debate. The objective is to both educate and empower young men and women by discussing contemporary issues of race and gender. It will address the importance of our role as women and men in today's society by introducing the audience to women's studies."

Jennings commented, "Most of our students, who have grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, and know the women's rights movement as a part of history; they weren't there to experience it. But they, both men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment it has taken to empower women and move closer to equality."

One of the show's highlights was when a student from the crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's grand finale. He was to dress up as a woman, donning a skirt and pink ribbon tiara. Hamming it up for the crowd, Nimitz asked ARTS Another show highlight that received a round of applause was when junior communication major Honee Folk stood up to say she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She said she really appreciated the Guerrilla Girls for bringing that to her attention. Folk also said that there's a significant chance for the women at Cal State San Marcos to be underrepresented with the ASI Elections coming up. Though the ratio of women to men at San Marcos is 60 to 40, only three women are running in the elections, so there is great potential for the student government representatives to be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was running and just as Folk replied with a "yes!" the crowd broke out into applause, whistles and "Women's History Month is a time to celebrate women and their accomplishments. Women have always made a difference and significance in our society, along with men, but have never been acknowledged due to being a woman, in our male dominant society." Women from Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) will share their experiences, knowledge, and adversities from all lines of work. From women artists, authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community women from all over - will reveal their experiences of what being a woman in our society today has meant to themselves and to fellow Linda Pershing, director and women. professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated, A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops are entailed for this very, big event of Women's History Month at CSUSM. Women's suppression, subordination, achievements, and accomplishments of the past and present are going to finally be recognized. The contributions of women have been overlooked for so long from a historical point of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting for equality, genderism, racism, sexism, and not finding total equality, but equitability in our patriarchal society. shout outs. The show closed with questions from the audience. "How many Guerrilla's are there and does the group consist of many ethnicities?" asked a member of the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are many women of different ethnic groups, different sexual orientations.

The musicians faced each other and played as if they were having a conversation, one instrument speaking, then the other responding. The contrapuntal effect of the two lines of music moved the piece forward, and kept the audience involved. All the musicians were on stage for the two final pieces of klezmer music. The first was a traditional wedding piece, often played as an improvisation. Imara and Goldberg played the sax, each taking turns making their instruments cry and wail, perhaps mimicking the mother of the bride. The musicians laughed as they enjoyed the improv, and the audience began to clap in time to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or The Dance of the In-Laws, was thefinalpiece. This group of musicians clearly enjoyed playing together as much as the audience enjoyed listening to them. The hour passed too quickly, and then the audience was on its feet clapping and whistling in appreciation for an all-too-short evening of klezmer. �THE PRIDE Dear Editors, Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb. 18 article, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos. The faculty being liberal is a small problem. The big problem that I have is the fact that the Cal State system is liberal in general, and tends to tilt towards the left. Here is what I mean. 1) The majority of the Cal State Schools have done something I find to be unpatriotic, especially during this period in which the U.S is getting ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on President's day, or Columbus Day, to name just a few. Those holidays have been moved to December, a month during which school is out for three of the four weeks. Instead, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. . Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I find that an insult to our founding fathers. Lincoln and Washington are two importantfiguresin our history. To me it sounds like the liberals that made this decision are trying to be "Politically Correct," and not offend anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead White Guys'. People have often accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to show that the facts are there. 2) Inviting a leftist liberal like Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to speak at our school, with no balance of inviting someone on the other side of the political spectrum shows liberal bias. Where were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and Bernard Goldberg when they were doing their book tours? Not here. I can go on and on, but I am sure that we all get the point by now. Nash Summers Tang Junior, Business POIJTTCAT, VOTflF: Dear Editors: one side of the coin, they own, produce, and monopolize the coin In his March 4 letter Sean trade. Mattingly asks Amber De La Torre to "open your eyes and see that Mr. Mattingly then asserts that this so called "elite" capitalistic Amber should "have a little respect society where conservatives oppress for your country, its history, its everyone is only in your mind."

Matthew Black Junior, History Dear Editors: As our nation faces war with Iraq, I notice many anti-war protests taking place throughout our nation. Although I do not like to see our country divided, I know it is our right to do so, and feel happy we have this right to exercise. My concern does not lie with those who oppose war; it lies with the support needed for our troops, for they are the ones who let us exercise this right and all others. Our troops are doing their job, whether they agree or disagree; they will continue to follow and carry out the orders of our commander-in-chief.

Amber De La Torre Junior, Sociology In response to Matthew Black: You're a good mouth piece for the "Blame -America-First- Club," but you take things way out of context, and have serious flaws in your arguments Mr. Black. You first rambled about how the U.S. backed Saddam in the 1980s and even Osama bin Laden for a while, and yes, both of them did share a common interest at one point with the U.S. But you fail to mention, that we backed him as part of the containment policy against the former Soviet Union's attempted expansion into the region. The Soviets at that time were backing Iran during their 8-year war with Iraq. And let's not forget that Iran had taken hundreds of Americans hostage in the early ages as well. You also said that we encouraged Saddam to use chemical weapons on Kurds and Iranians. Did you ever stop to think that maybe those with you, then you help them. Then to hide among civilians. And that's very Kurds and Iranians got gassed if they stab you in the back, (for the why innocent people get caught in because they werefightingwith the safety of all Americans) you punish the crossfire.

North answered the question, "Why are some nations wealthier than others?" as part of the CSUSM Arts & Lecture Series. According to the official website of the Nobel Foundation, in 1993, North and fellow Economist Robert W. Fogle were co-recipients for the Nobel Prize. They won it "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change." Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, North was accepted to go to Harvard but opted to attend the University of California at Berkeley because his family had moved to San Francisco. In his college years he was actively involved in student liberal activities and was opposed to US involvement in World War II, until Hitler invaded the communist Soviet Union. His acceptance of Marxism in his college years helped North to build the argument about the importance of legal institutions, but he saw flaws in the ideology itself. Ideologies and belief systems can significantly slow down economies, according to North. He also reasons that governments don't always think rationally, and that many times their way of thinking affects the decisions they make about economic policy. North compared an economy to a football game. For example, in a football game there are formal and informal rules and the referees serve as enforcers of these rules, said North.

According to the documentary, the African American community admitted that they could have tried to better educate the voters about the possibility of being turned away at the polls. Following the movie, Rolison, using data obtained from the website of the American Civil Liberties Union, gave a brief overview of the 2000 election, explaining that 14.4 percent of the votes that were rejected came from African American voters, while only 1.6 percent were nonBlack. Byron added that according to www.gregpalast.com, voting precincts in Black areas were lacking in high quality voting technology, while in many white communities the technology was available and untouched. Advanced voting equipment ranges from the form of the voting ballot itself to new machines that are used to interpret or read/count the votes. from lectures, the floor was opened to questions. There were many questions from students, ranging in topic from the voting procedures, African Americans, and the current political situation in America, particularly with the ensuing war in Iraq. Rolison and Byron, as well as PAN member Erik Roper, were happy to give their opinions. This event was a unique opportunity to have two campus clubs join together, and to inform CSUSM students about an important aspect of recent American history.

The reference to yelling and rowdiness is not an accidental interpolation. This is a quote from Nichole Jester, student leader for the IVCF, describing the fellowship's projected activities during their upcoming trip to Catalina. Jester took care to create an image of the IVCF and their mostly evangelical Christian members as friendly and outgoing and to deliberately smash the stereotype of Christians as dour and repressed zealots. to Jester, the IVCF is a vehicle through which Christians can socialize and support one another. IVCF student leader Darlene Rodriguez described the IVCF as a "place to be noticed," then went on to detail an informal grapevine that has grown up within the fellowship. "If a member has a problem, other members know and respond with help and encouragement". Rodriguez was* quick to distinguish this network from and ordinary gossip pipeline saying "members care about each other like a family." The concert will feature the wellknown Christian rock band Eso. The event is entitled "The Edge" and will also feature popular evangelist Ryan Pfeiffer and an unnamed opening act for Eso. During the upcoming spring break, the IVCF is sponsoring the aforementioned "rowdy" trip to Catalina. According to Jester and Rodriguez, the IVCF has their own private section of the island where they will stage, a week of activities centered on a study of the Gospel of Mark. Jester made it clear that the IVCF's activities are open to non-members and non-Christians. The IVCF wants to provide a drug and alcohol free environment in which all students can socialize. To the end of providing members with opportunities to socialize, the IVCF supports many activities. Last semester the fellowship sponsored a game night bonfire and a movie night, among other activities. On The upcoming Billy Graham March 7, the IVCF will sponsor crusade on May 8, 9, and 10 is Friendship and accessibility are recurrent themes within the a Christian music concert at another focus of the IVCF. The IVCF. At its core, according Calvary Chapel, San Marcos. IVCF is providing evangelism training for members in order to coincide with the event, as well as helping with event publicity and set-up. During the summer months some IVCF members will participate in mission trips that can take them to foreign nations such as China and Ethiopia. These mission trips also can include service in urban areas of the United States. Though theologically committed to Orthodox Pauline Christianity, the IVCF encourages anyone interested in the Bible and Christianity to attend their meetings and Bible studies. Jester welcomed members of other faiths to check out the IVCF. Both Jester and Rodriguez emphasized that the IVCF is an egalitarian organization where all members are encouraged to participate in leadership. The IVCF's membership contains both those who were raised in religious households and new converts. The group also cultivates ethnic and racial diversity. The IVCF fellowship meets on the Cal State San Marcos campus Mondays l-2pm, Tuesdays both 12-lpm and l-2pm. These meetings are held on the grass triangle between Craven Hall and University Hall on thefirstfloor. Wednesday meetings are held in University Hall 442 l-2pm. Meetings start with an informal social period, followed by a Bible study in which eveiyone present is encouraged to participate.

Red Cross Performs Emergency Services for Armed Forces By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The recent deployment of service personnel from San Diegobased military bases has resulted in the simultaneous mobilization of another service, the Armed Forces Emergency' " Services" (AFES) at the San Diego/Imperial Counties chapter of the American Red Cross. Life goes on at home for the families of service people - spouses, sons, daughters, and other relatives - while they are stationed ¡overseas or in parts of the United States remote from their families. Life at home sometimes involves emergencies such as births, deaths, and other medical and legal emergencies, when it is critical that a family member in the armed services be notified.

The apartments are scheduled to open their doors in September, when 460 resident students will be invited to transform a once small commuter college into a 24-hour campus community. "The campus community will change greatly as a result of having students on campus all day and all year/' stated the director of Student Residential Life (SRL), Bridget Blansnshan. The University Village staff is working in connection with SRL and other departments of CSUSM, such as The Dome and parking services, J n order to prepare for this transition. When completed, the new student-housing complex will consist of three apartment buildings. Each building will house approximately 52 students on each of its three floors. Students will have the choice to live in either a two or four bedroom home, which they will share with three other roommates. Each apartment includes its own kitchen, two bathrooms, and a dining/living area. There are also laundry facilities located on each floor. eminent of campus housing will be responsible for looking out for the well being of the student residents at University Villages. In continued efforts to create a strong community among the residents, University Village plans to have specific programs that target new residents, which aim to ease their transition into college life and to living on their own. "We'll have a lot of incoming freshmen," explained Singer, as she discussed the programs that are planned for giving students instruction on simple things, such as laundry and cooking In conjunction with the three a nutritious meal.

The tedious act of leaving your home and paying $15 for a compact disk has been replaced by a few simple clicks of the mouse. File-sharing programs such as the infamous Napster and user-friendly Kazaa are currently entertaining over a million users. Along with this, virtually all PC's shipped in the last 12 months have come equipped with CD burners and burner software.

Full-Figured Diva Gets Booted in American Idol 2 By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer Just before the airing of the Feb. 11 show, Fox Television announced Franchelle "Frenchie" Davis was being kicked off of the contestant's list for American Idol 2. It had been revealed that the woman, now 23 years old, had posed nude at the age of 18 for an interactive childpornography website. From FrenchieY initial audition, she was said to be one of America's favorites and had a very good chance of being crowned "American Idol," despite not having the 'American Idol' look. th Before she was selected as a participant, she told the producers of the show about her past and made no secret about what she had been involved in. When background checks were done on each of the contestants, her short-lived career in pornography never showed up. At the time, the producers warned her that if media became aware of this, they would deal with it accordingly. Never did they make any mention of eliminating her from the show. No information was given on how they were going to deal with the issue if it was made public. Ms. Davis, who is currently a senior theater arts student at Howard University, stated, "I was 18 years old at the time and 3,000 miles away from home. But I simply refused to go back home without a college degree, and at the time it seemed like the best way to earn the money. I needed to continue my one of last year's finalists, education.

Many men and women define themselves by the definitions of one political ideal or another, and yet when the day of reckoning comes for their beliefs, they so quickly and radically change them. I'll be honest. I usually vote Republican. I also believe that affirmative action, in principle, is a good thing. I believe strongly in the importance and significance of the women's movement, and no, I did not vote for Bill Simon in the last election. So don't try to label me. It won't work. I lean far left of center on some issues, but I also have guns in my house. Maybe this allows me the freedom to be reasonable about politics. I recently asked someone (a liberal by most definitions) whose opinions I respect why there was so much opposition to President Bush's policy about Iraq. When Former President Clinton sent troops storming into Kosovo to take down Milosevic, no one complained. When Clinton ordered troops deployed to Somalia to try and end the oppression by vicious warlords, no one objected. So why is it that now there is so much resistance? Saddam Hussein slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people when he invaded Iran and Kuwait. He murdered a hundred thousand of his own people in order tofieldtest his chemical weapons. He destroyed his own ecosystem when he set the oil fields ablaze ten years ago, and he openly admits to wanting to occupy the entire gulf region and hold, single handedly, the world's largest supply of oil. We know he's a tyrant. Who cares about propaganda from either side at this point? Does the past mean nothing? Are Hussein's own words meaningless? Surely the global community did not give so much consideration to Milosevic and the Somali warlords! Her answer to me was that there is a certain level of anxiety, because of the current administration, that this proposed war with Iraq could be because of the oil. There is a suspicion about holdings in oil companies and ulterior motives on behalf of our current leaders. That doesn't necessarily mean that the left thinks it IS over the oil, but that it might be. I honestly don't under- So how is Hussein different stand the militant scrutiny and from Milosevic? For that matter, suspicion, but I can accept that. ' how is he different from a young Hitler? Before I came to CSUSM, I served in the US Navy. I didn't Why is it that the loudest like Clinton.

The solidarity of our nation and its people were more important to me. T heism in a n E volutionary S ociety By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer In another period, the belief that humans naturally evolved from a puddle of primordial ooze would have been absurd. The mere notion that once immaterial and purposeless ooze becoming a material and purpose-driven person would have been incongruous. However, in previous years the notion has survived and 'evolved' into the primary view of science. Science by definition is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanations of phenomena. Science excludes everything but the material and the natural. You cannot study anything that is outside of natural processes. By means of science, you cannot study spirits or God because they are outside of the material and the natural. One would then objectively presume that through the venue of science alone, we could not know everything. According to the dominant view of science, this statement would be uneducated and short of thought. What is outside of science is outside of reality. The scientific processes are the only way we can really know anything. With this view, so engrained into the realm of Academia, it almost seems impossible to look at it any other way. Yet "more thari 47% of Americans believe in a Creator as well as 40% of Americans believing in God-Guided Evolutionary science," according to a January 1993 First Things article. You might ask: how is it that so many believe in a theistic evolution? Is it hard to distinguish between evolution and what it accepts to be fully naturalistic and outside the reach of a Creator? How are words used to transform the way we see the subject at hand? I believe much of it has to do with our unfamiliarity of the subject matter and the ambiguity of the terms' implication to society. Evolution: According to modern science, Natural Evolution is the random sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms; it fundamentally assumes that the foires , I of nature alone are adequate to explain everything that exists. It does not accept creation in a theistic sense. It only involves blind and purposeless processes. It cannot be a process in which God employed, due to employed purposeless matter. Random mutation and natural selection produce everything. Creation is an effort to give scientific support for the truth of the account of creation given in the Book of Genesis. It is the divine act, which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions, brought the world into existence. Theistic Evolution is an attempt to bridge the gap of Evolution and Creation; Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially the belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world and interpreting "scientific" discovery as God's pre-determiriing process. Why would this be so disturbing to the theist? Well, because it rules them out of the circle of the Intelligentsia since science can't explain God. What is inadequate evidence becomes evolutionary fact. So it is not that God does not exist, but that we wouldn't be able to know throughout scientific investigation. Following the guidelines of scientific investigation, God might as well not exist. Now that we have ruled God out of the question of origin, it can only be through random genetic changes and natural selection that we have come to exist. It is not because anybody has seen these changes, but that there is no other option available to science. God then becomes a cultural and moral icon. God becomes a subjective idea based on our personal feelings and not an objective authority based on the way God created human nature. One of the leading proponents, of evolution; Stephen J. Gould writes in Science magazine: "I regard the both religion and evolution as of equal dignity and limitless contracts. They don't conflict because science treats the factual reality while religion struggles with human morality." He quotes science and religion as SEPARATE but EQUAL. Yet the undeniable fact is: someone is left sitting in the back of the bus. I MTO H IGH G EAR!

Michelle DeMont Major: Sociology "Women's Herstory month is a time to look back on historical movements of women and appreciate our struggleforequality.'Response Dear Editors, I am writing to point out an apparent error in the opinion article of February 18, 2003 by Jeanne Raup Sapp "English as Official US Language". A quick check on the US Department of Justice website reveals that, contrary to what is indicated in the article, "...an ability to read, write, and speak English" is, in fact, a prerequisite for becoming a naturalized citizen. Here are links to relevant websites: http://www.ins.usdoj .gov/graphics/ services/natz/ http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/ services/natz/general.htm The U.S. has also subsidized the war efforts of Israeli terrorists who commit atrocious acts against Palestinians. The U.S. supplies Columbian paramilitary forces that have subsequently eliminated thirty thousand dissidents. Supporting terrorism in the name of democracy is reprehensible. Furthermore, Saddam never kicked the U.N. inspectors out of Iraq, as it was actually the U.S. who asked the inspectors to leave Iraq in 1998 when our extensive bombing raids , eradicated a schoolhouse full of 400 children. screwing over veterans like Mr. Dobbins on their "guaranteed" benefits, and an administration full of chicken-hawks clamoring for war that are intent on world domination, he has convinced the people to support his unnecessary, unjustifiable, unprecedented "war on terrorism," which magically shifts its boundaries to encompass all those he deems terrorists. Containment has worked thus far and worked to topple the Soviet Union, a far more dangerous enemy. We need to step up the inspection process and lift some of the economic and medical sanctions that have already caused half a million deaths in Iraq. Is a war that will surely destabilize the region, increasing the likelihood of more wars and terrorist attacks upon our nation really the best option? I think not. In a sense we as a nation are as guilty of terrorism as any other. So much for going out of our way to avoid killing innocent people. Bush has duped the American people.

Since we are doing our best to become a legitimate source of news to the students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community at CSUSM, our efforts to teach our staff writers about the folkways of journalism must be respected. Don't put pressure on them to print your picture or run your story, just because you have them in class, or because they are your friends. And don't ask to see things before they are printed. It's unprofessional. We are doing the very best we can, with what we have, to be professional to the best of our capacity, and when members of the faculty and staff undermine that professionalism with favoritism, it messes with the whole process. So next time you think that The Pride doesn't cover things that are relevant to the campus, or you have a complaint that something is not being covered, why not send us a letter and tell us? Or better yet, join the staff and help to institute a change? Or if you have sent letters to our advisor or to the CSUSM director of communications, complaining about what's published in The Pride, you should send it to us, because after all, we are the editors. There are too many people on this campus —as in life— who like to complain about the 'way things are,' who are also unwilling to step up and accept the challenge to become part of the solution. Don't be one of them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For several years, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) and the State of California have made financial aid available through a program called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The deadline for applying for student aid for the 2003/2004 academic year is March 3. Anyone with a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate is eligible to apply for needbased student aid. The DOE web site lists all the documents that an applicant must submit as part of the process, including a social security number, a driver's license (if any), tax returns, and bank statements.

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos has its own police department, which patrols the campus and has concurrent jurisdiction with the San Marcos Police Department within a one-mile perimeter around the campus. Their patrolling services are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have been in the service of CSUSM for approximately 10 years. For more information about financial aid and scholarships that are available through CSUSM, visit their web site at http://www.csusm.edu/finaid.

However, many CSUSM students do not know about the existence of this department. Such is the case of Miranda Romero.

The SFAC argues that their proposal for smaller fee increases, over a longer period of time, will minimize the economic strain placed on students, To receive funding from IRA in a period already plagued by fees, organizations must undergo inflated student fees. an annual proposal process.

The CSUSM women's golf team opened their spring season by finishing in 12th place with a score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University. The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5, 885 yard par 72 course. On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first round to finish in 39th with a second round total of 164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167 (83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot 176 (83-93) to finish 72nd. This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times to begin their game, these golfers were assigned different holes to start at, enabling the competing teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the signal of an actual shotgun. After the opening day of the tournament, the lady Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83 (41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a score of 85 (43-42). When commenting on the challenges of the course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos [Country Club] is a very difficult course in many ways. The greens for the tournament were very unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy places." She explained that in order to find relief, "you have to find the nearest point where you can drop your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole. You have to make sure with your group whether it is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called Photo by M ary S chiefelbein / The When asked how he felt about how the team did in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who played is capable of doing great things on the golf course." When inquiring about requirements for the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals. Though it was University of Kansas who placed first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302) pushing University of Kansas to second place with a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620 (305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620 (310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State University with 622 (311-311). Thys commented on her goals for season. "My personal goals for the season are to attend every tournament. I am focused on keeping my game as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen for the team, I know we can place in the top three at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on that. We have a strong team, as well as two great girls who are about to graduate, and who I know would love to see us go out with a huge boom." The next tournament for the women's golf team will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club through March 3rd and 4th.

Scheduled to be completed by the end of this summer, the facility is the brainchild of ASI, along with many other intimate partners. According to the campus website, its purpose is to serve "as the center of the campus community, by developing and maintaining facilities which enhance the quality of campus life, and [by supporting] the educational mission of the University through social, recreational, cultural and educational programs." It will also be the base camp for the future physical education program. Conception of Gordon's achievements in the past," Helene donated what would be the largest single donation from a living person in CSUSM's, at that point, 10-year history, totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways," Helene reminisced in an interview with Coast News, "The field house is a fine way to honor him and to help so many young adults." In addition to the $1.2 million donation, Helene's endowment was instrumental in obtaining a matching grant from the Kresge Foundation. With just under a third of the estimated $7.1 million cost accounted for, CSUSM students voted in October 1998 to increase student union fees for full-time and part-time students to $50 each semester, in order to raise additional support for the field house. The plan is to raise approximately $4.7 million over the next four to five years. The rest of the money has come from private donations, approximately $2.5 million at last count, according to Arlene Ruiz, assistant to the vice president of External Affairs. Above: The scaffold encased field house structure steadily marches towards completion. Right: Computer generated architectural models show what thefinishedfieldhouse will look like. Courtesy images. Although the creation of the field house included the input of many, the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Helene Clarke provided most of the financial backing for the project. Clarke's husband Gordon, who died in 1968, had the opportunity to pursue a professional baseball career after an extremely successful college stint at the University of Oklahoma. Instead, Mr. Clarke took an executive position with the Hughes Tool Co., based in Dallas, Texas, but he never lost his love and enthusiasm for sports. After her husband's death, Mrs. Clarke came to live in Oceanside, where she lived independently until she was disabled by an injury and a bout with cancer that would prove fatal on Dec. 4,2000. 900-person capacity, however, is not set in stone.

De izquierda a d erecha, S in Fin, el Papa Felipe y J uana S ánchez a ctuando en Nuevo C alifornia. F otografía d e R andy R ovang. Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal Pocas son las personas que se imaginan las ciudades de San Diego y Tijuana juntas, unidas formando una sola ciudad, sin una cerca metálica ni diferencias ideológicas dividiéndolas. Sin embargo, la imaginación del colombiano Bernardo Solano y de Alian Havis es tan futurística y progresista que este sueño se convierte en una realidad en Nuevo California. Esta obra dirigida por Sam Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año de 2008 en el cual un gran terremoto destruye la ciudad de Los Ángeles y las ciudades fronterizas de San Diego y Tijuana pronto serán unidas. No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca inquebrantable separando estas dos ciudades, existen muchos prejuicios entre unos y otros. Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten que los habitantes se den cuenta que entre los dos países hay más similitudes que diferencias. Vega, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lipinsky, Catalina Maynard, Gino Montesinos, Raquel Presa y Sylvia M'lafi Thompson son los actores que conforman esta obra. Este grupo actoral de San Diego y Tijuana representa la gran variedad y diversidad de las comunidades que viven en esta región fronteriza donde no solamente hay mexicanos y norteamericanos sino también asiáticos, afroamericanos e indios americanos añadiéndole así una realidad muy esencial a la historia. Algunos de los personajes en la obra dramática musical son Sin Fin, la cual habla un idioma futurístico donde el spanglish y la rima son elementos importantes, el Papa Felipe que trata de unir a las dos ciudades, y a Juana Sánchez que al igual que Maggie Flackett se niega a acabar con los prejuicios contra los americanos y mexicanos respectivamente. Para la realización de esta gran e interesante obra, hubo una investigación de tres años Dora Arreóla, John Campion, donde se les preguntó a alredJennifer Chu, Fernando Flores edor de 200 personas de ambos Sociopolitical Indoctrination In the Classroom?

Los entrevistados incluyeron políticos, periodistas, amas de casa, adolescentes y peatones entre otros más lo cual permitió que la producción no solamente tuviera una variedad de opiniones sino que también una perspectiva más representativa. Nuevo California, actuado mayormente en inglés pero con algunas palabras en español y spanglish, se estará presentando hasta el 3 de marzo en el Lyceum Theatre del San Diego Repertory Theatre. La obra además de ser interesante posee un gran despliegue de talento y expone temas que muy pocos se han atrevido a explorar como lo es el derrumbe del cerco fronterizo y el prejuicio entre los dos países.

By ERIK ROPER Pride Staff Writer Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos community members came to hear Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak about the life and times of Norton. Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour throughout the US. The tour is meant to promote the recently completed biography by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire In My Soul The book came out about a month ago and is already in its second printing. Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard that was swirling about the east coast at that time last week, Norton was not able to attend since all flights in her area had been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn Brown welcomed those in attendance and gave them the standard, "We've got good news and bad news..." line, an audible sigh could be heard from the crowd of approximately fifty people. But even the bad news was not as bad as it could have been, because shortly after Brown's introductory remarks, audience members were treated to the disembodied voice of Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton apologized profusely for not being able to attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out of California - and the loss is all mine." Fortunately though, her biographer, Lester, was able to attend and speak very eloquently about the extraordinary life of Norton. Lester began her remarks by speaking about how she had known Norton for many years and that when shefirstdecided to write a biography about a strong and accomplished woman Norton was not the first woman who came to mind. But one day while lunching together in DC, Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's biography and Norton instantly liked the idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl, come on down to Washington and let's get to work!" So approximately four years ago Lester started working with iNorton, ".. .one chapter at a time." She described the former civil rights activist and currently tenured law professor at Georgetown University as a challenging subject, "in a number of ways. She's very argumentative, which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind is so broad. When working with her I often felt like my mind was still stuck in the sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century." In the spirit of modernity, those in attendance were treated to more virtual Norton as she appeared larger than life on the ARTS 240 video screen.

By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Since the end of WWII, one of the most consister^ and generous benefactors of international drug traffickers has been the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949, trade in opium and heroin played a major role in financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of communism. Nationalist forces driven out of southern China into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup and rearm for an invasion of the now communist controlled China. These nationalist forces were trained, and their subsequent incursion into communist China was largely planned by the CIA. Nationalist forces financed the operation almost entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the United States and other western nations. Nationalist forces invaded China from their Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military operations by the Burmese army and Chinese communists largely eliminated the Nationalists forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce; however, the opium syndicate established by the nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world. In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos, the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma, prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long grown opium for local drug traffickers and with the CIA's encouragement they began growing it in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an increasingly bloody war against the communists. In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant heroin found its way onto American streets and to American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not directly involved in moving the processed heroin, but they were well aware of where it was going. In fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao Ky was personally involved in importing heroin from Laos to South Vietnam. These are not thé paranoid assertions of a disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify every sentence in his book. The CIA actually obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages expurgated. In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct in order increase the intelligence agencies' effectiveness in combating international terrorism. These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played a major role in furthering international drug traffic while largely failing to stop communism in Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as to what will be the nature of the next plague this "intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an unrestricted war on international terrorism. �About CSUSM Disabled Parking Dear Editors: I am both a disabled person (registered with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard properly displayed and my student parking permit properly displayed, I am allowed to park, pursuant to the California public policy stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone restricted for time or otherwise restricted per 21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted by local ordinance. VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking. However, the law of this state does NOT allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans. In fact, California public policy specifically states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and exits. When I started this semester, CSU placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked parking slots just south of the dome and the signs state CSUSM, Special Medical Permit SOLE Vehicle Code section that specifically allows CSU (Board of Regents - not local Required. parking service employees or administration) The signs DO NOT state the spaces are to further restrict parking applies to skatereserved for CSUSM employees or faculty. boarding, cycles, etc. The ONLY Special Medical Permit permitted Case law has confirmed that persons recognition by State law is the disabled perwith a valid disabled persons placard MAY sons and disabled veterans disabled placard.

In fact, the Response to anti-war article Mr. (Gabriel) Martin: I gotta hand it to you, your article really tugged on my heartstrings. It's just to bad your position is based on little more than emotions and naivety, rather than logic and fact. The reality of the coming war is simple: Saddam has left us no other option but to use force. And it amazes me that so many people like you (in the ostrich brigade), continue to have your heads in the sand. Since the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has broken every treaty, UN resolu- tion, and term of surrender that he agreed to. He's also tried to shoot down and KILL our pilots who patrol the no-fly zones over 700 times. In addition, he has-at some point-used every weapon in his arsenal including chemical weapons. In Bush's last speech, he listed a number of chemical and biological weapons he has yet to get rid of. We also know that he has brought in scientists to build nuclear warheads, which he would love to use against our allies, or us, or sell them to a terrorist group that would C LASSIFIEDS TUTOR/TEACHER (MA98) Specializing in tutoring ESL students in advanced language skills, vocabulary, research, reports, projects, presentations, test prep, etc. Free consultation.

And it would only be a matter of time before he did get nukes if people like you were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/ negotiation game (which NEVER works with lawless dictators). You have got to realize that there are evil people in this world who only listen to one thing: The language of force. Do you think the British would have just got up and left back in 1776 without being forced out? Did Hitler listen to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do you really think 100 UN weapons inspectors in a country the size of California are enough disarm this guy? That is ridiculous! You also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much pity you feel for all the innocent people who may die. Well guess what; I can tell as a former US Army soldier that we go out of our way — more than any other country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason people do get killed is because our third-world enemies usually hide among civilians and use them as shields, hoping we won't come after them. In addition, a lot more innocent people are will die as a result of Saddam's quest for nukes if we don't get rid of him. Listen, nobody likes war. Not even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting shot at. But sometimes you do have to fight for peace in order to protect your way of life, and that is a reality you need to realize. So when the removal of Saddam begins, are you going to support our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend? I hope you and every anti-war protester will think about this: the cost of freedom. Guess what, freedom is not free. If you doubt that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication R esponse t o c omment o n " State o f t he C ampus A d d r e s s " I would like to respond to Robert Williams' comments in the article dated 2/11/03 "State of the Campus Address." In this article he states! "this semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." I was incredulous when I read this. Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't spent hours driving around the various parking lots looking for a parking place. Nor, has he been 'stalked' by students wanting a parking space. I applauded the curb-parking put in place last semester, and although there was a "tight crunch" for parking last semester, it appears just as bad, if not worse this semester! Williams? Although I don't agree with increased parking fees I do understand the need. But, I do feel as though I've been slapped in the face when the parking fees have increased dramatically, yet finding parking when you need it is very dismal. Personally, I had planned on arriving to school this semester in time for my 11: 30 a.m. classes. I have had to rearrange my schedule to arrive at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to obtain a parking space without having to drive around forever! Please tell me where this "ample" parking is, especially during the busiest hours. Thank you, So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies Response: Is There Liberal Bias at Cal State San Marcos? Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's Feb.18 article, I find it amusing how anyone would question liberal bias from an educational perspective when conservative ideologies have been constantly shoved down our throats from the time of infancy. In order for this society to succeed with its capitalistic, elite way of thought, the conservatives would like to have America believe their standards, including correct "moral" thinking, religious beliefs and systems of oppression, should be mainstream thought. In a time where inequalities are more prevalent than ever, to cry conservative is to condone suppression, stray from an egalitarian model and keep society at status quo. Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are we) fooling students into thinking that in order to be a 'free thinker' that they must be indoctrinated by liberalism?" The answer is that we're not. By providing students with the opportunity to explore creatively and utilize what C. Wright Mills called a "sociological imagination," educational institutions are simply suggesting that society explore other ways of thinking. Liberalism implies that we do not have to conform to conservative ways of thought and potentially risk appearing as mechanical, docile, assembly line like robots. We do not have to accept everything the media feeds us at face value or submit to authoritarian hierarchies. Furthermore, if the push for liberalism is becoming an issue through so-called "indoctrination" via faculty then I applaud their misconstrued achievements at "brain-washing" conservatives into more liberal ways of thinking. Obviously, advocating progressive reformation is not biased, only the deconstruction of the biased realities that already exist within our society.

Professor Patty Seleski, chair of the history department, compared it to juggling, as the needs of students and the budget that has been allocated by the dean have to be balanced. "It's the curse of middle management," she said. The course scheduling process is much more complex than most people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made it more complicated than before. Several factors must be juggled when the department chairs determine when, where, and how many sections of a course will be offered. The needs of both the major and of general education (GE) requirements are considered. Every department offers several GE courses, which must be taken by all students. Enough classes for the department's major also have to be offered, but these classrooms can be hard tofilldue to their specialized nature. An attempt is made to offer major courses at a variety of times, but usually only one section of a particular course is. offered per semester or year. Attempts are made to offer courses in "a consistent, predictable way," said the chair of the mathematics department, professor Linda Holt. If several classes are only available once per year, schedulers will attempt to consistently offer courses during the same semesters. Class A is always available in the spring, class B is always in the fall. These major classes are arranged like this to avoid conflict. See SCHEDULE, page 5 TUESDAY.

Local news has focused on troops leaving for the Gulf and the nationwide news has been focused on the words of President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell. It is obvious that important decisions are being made during this and the last few months. These decisions are important to CSUSM students because they directly involve the young citizens, a large percentage of whom are members of the military. This is especially true with the large numberof CSUSM students who are currently enlisted in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and service reserves.

Iraqi Conflict f rom page 1 explained that knowing the definite number of students on active duty is difficult because they may not always inform the school about their military status. He did, however, explain th#t during this semester, the school is experiencing the largest number of students than ever before in CSUSM history who have not enrolled or dropped their classes due to deployment notices. Bills noted that many of the students who are still attending are getting forms to withdraw from classes for the same reason. largely based in Miramar and Camp Pendleton received deployment orders. Recently, 17,000 reservists were called into duty, bringing the total number of National Guard and reservists to over 110,000. With so many young people leaving on duty and San Diego's large military role, it brings the conflict close to home at CSUSM.

He said that he doesn't feel that the Iraq conflict is affecting his current experience at CSUSM. As final decisions about the conflict draw near, it is unavoidable that CSUSM students will be affected along with the rest of the nation. As students make decisions about their feelings about the possible war, friends and classmates are preparing to be involved directly, in the conflict, reminding this campus that war is never as far as the battlefield. the question about the curb parking Williams said that, "Parking services knew there would b e a tight crunch last semester therefore curb parking was allowed.

E-mail: pride@rcsusm.edu http://www.csusm.edu/pride The Pride �and other obstacles some students face By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer "At the beginning of last semester I was excited to start college. I had chosen my classes and I thought that it was going to be easy. Unfortunately within* the first couple of weeks I noticed that I was having more trouble in my classes that the average student." This is a typical struggle for students with learning disabilities, especially once they reach the college level. It is difficult for many to admit they are experiencing academic difficulties, but once they do, they no longer have to fight the battle alone. " I kept trying to brush off what was going on.

My first semester was one that I am willing to forget. Right now, I am slowly getting into the system for the help that I need" continued the student. freshmen identify themselves with having a learning disability that requires some kind of accommodation. Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My! Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor There is still time to clear the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) immunization that is required by CSUSM. Students who are unsure about the current status of their immunization need to contact their physician or doctor in order to clarify the uncertainties. For students sure of their need, the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic will be offering free MMR vaccination shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and March 21. MMR vaccines will be held at the SHS clinic located on the corner of corner of Craven and Twin Oaks and are available to all registered students. Those who cannot make the scheduled dates for vaccinations may schedule an appointment for another time. Able to spread from person to person through the air, Measles, Mumps and Rubella are serious diseases. Not only are they serious, but they can also be very annoying to students who find a MMR hold on their registration. The CSU system requires that all students be immunized to MMR prior to their first semester of being enrolled £t a CSU campus. Junior communication major Paul Anderson experienced this first hand. "I didn't even know that measles mumps or rubella was an issue, but apparently I needed the vaccine before I could register for my first semester at CSUSM a few years back," Anderson said. Anderson later went to the SHS clinic and received his vaccine. Many students may not be of the testicles or ovaries, and aware of their MMR vaccine status on occasion, death. The rubella because the shots are usually given (German measles) virus can cause at a very young age - one at 12 to rashes, mild fever, and arthritis 15 months old and the second at 4 (mostly in women). If a woman to 6 years old, although the second gets rubella while she is pregnant, dose can be administered anytime she could have a miscarriage after 28 days from thefirst.Those or her baby could be born with who have never received any serious birth defects. vaccination should consider it not only for registration purposes, but Obviously none of these also for the safety of themselves symptoms are the least bit and others, as the symptoms or enjoyable.

The waiver includes a contractual agreement on behalf of the student, which states that in the event of an outbreak on campus, the student will not be allowed on campus until the outbreak is under control. It is also possible to get an MMR titer from a doctor or physician that establishes immunity to the diseases, and removes the requirement from a student's record at SHS. However, getting a simple immunization from the SHS clinic can be beneficial to avoid future registration conflicts, and for overall health and wellness; For more information or to double check mentioned facts, visit the SHS clinic at www.csusm.edu/ shs.

Major classes shouldn't conflict with each other. The idea is to let students have access, at some time of the day, to the classes they need. This is even further complicated by the fact that some departments provide prerequisite courses for other majors, or offer classes that are eligible for upper division GE credit. The departments try to work with each other in order to coordinate their schedules. The dean's office is responsible for making sure the schedule is "well balanced" , between GE and majors' courses, said Arts and Sciences Dean Spencer McWiUiams. FEATURE can only hold 35 students. The department chairs have very little control over when a classroom will be available. So, a popular class may be forced to use a smaller classroom. The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher has to be matched to classes in which they have a certain degree of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology is not the best choice to lead a microbiology class. Instructors also can't be scheduled at unreasonable hours. A teacher shouldn't have to teach one class at seven in the morning and one at five in the evening, or teach According to Cassel, the four classes in a row. According number of available classes is to Cassel, they need to be at their also a "huge issue." Cal State best performance level.

Each department also has to make certain that Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) targets are met each semester. These targets are determined by the chancellor of the CSU, and are based on past enrollment. The dean's office then allocates the FTES to each department. There is some negotiation of FTES numbers between departments, but it is a finite number. Each department as a target enrollment uses the numbers, and it determines the budget for that particular department. A majority of the budget goes to f ull time employee salaries, with much of the remainder going toward operating expenses such as labs and equipment. The ambunt of money that each department receives is determined by how well they meet their FTES targets, so classes are scheduled at popular enrollment times. This is one reason there are not as many night sections; night sections don't enroll as heavily as night programs, due primarily day sections. to constraints such as expensive labs. Some departments know The budget crisis will impact that graduate students tend to scheduling in "a really negative work during the day, and may way" said Seleski.

Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more welcoming to incoming students, who were our highest priority target group." The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the brand name trademark of the university was made in September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester. An email was sent out to all the task force members to ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's official statement. When asked if students were officially notified of this change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used by student groups." Why are students not in the know? Most students were unaware of this change to the brand name and were not sure why it took place. According to Moore, there was no known form of notification for the student body, because at the time there was no "in the loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not been a lot of discussion about it among the student body. Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did not report on this issue at the time because it was not a public pertinent announcement that had been made to the student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus on the correct term is at hand. According to Moore, the response to the change was stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting papers or research findings and when conducting academic business outside of the northern San Diego region. Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also commented to the name brand change. "We as students are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build an individual's school pride and this can be particularly important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said. �Ü Campus B eat Question: INTO HIGH GEAR! "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?'

Por DIANA K. CABUTO Redactora de The Pride Llegué a pensar que la prensa y los medios mexicanos estaban exagerando, que se le envidiaba a la pobre actriz por haberse ido a Estados Unidos a buscar nuevas fronteras, que por "traicionar a México" se le tenía resentimiento, que se le tenía coraje por estar dejando dinero al cine americano y por haber logrado en menos de 10 años lo que muchos no han logrado en 20. Tal vez de esta manera es como ella lo mira, o como ella lo quiere v er Sin embargo, ahora me doy cuenta qüe otras celebridades mexicanas o de otra nacionalidad latina que han triunfado en el extranjero son igualmente criticadas al momento de no responder a la prensa mexicana, como es el caso del cantante mexicano Luis Miguel. A pesar dé su fama, hasta Luis Miguel es criticado por sus entrevistas exclusivas y escasas. La diferencia con Luis Miguel es que él no se queja, tomando en cuenta que así es la vida del espectáculo. dicen algunas cuantas personas. Que comprenda que no por que algunos mexicanos critiquen su película por coraje a su actitud, esto quiera decir que todo México la este atacando y que ella ataque a todos por igual y comience con su actitud arrogante a cambio. Como ya mencioné, a Salma Hayek se le han reconocido sus éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien de sus proyectos y de su talento. Tal parece que nada más busca pretextos para alejarse más de su país y divagar sólo las cosas negativas de la prensa mexicana. Si es la actriz que dice ser, debería de saber que no siempre se le van a dar halagos y aplausos. Sólo espero que antes de tener esa actitud tan negativa con México y la prensa, que trate de entender que su abandono es la causa de las persecuciones por parte de la prensa, que necesita ser un poco más accesible, y que todo actor profesional pasa por estas cosas, que ella no es la única.

Basically, marketing exploits those in relationships so pathetic and shallow that the opposite sex feels the need to give their "loved one" a gift; usually in a sad attempt to convince them they don't actually suck. Unfortunately, if you fell victim to buying that special someone a gift, you probably do suck. Thank god February is the shortest month of the year. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about adult relationships that are more or less built on convenience, are nonfunctional, and end up lasting a short while due to inadequacy and the need for attachment. With only the intentions of getting in each other's pants, the simple minds of these relationships are the same simple minds responsible for fueling the evil fires of Valentine's Day. Maybe someday these fires might burn so evil and hot, they w ilt burn the 14th right off the calendar.

Photo courtesy of NASA By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN L ead Editor For the second time in the last 30 years, the National Aeronautics and Space A dministration (NASA) has lost a space shuttle with astronauts aboard. The explosion of the space shuttle Columbia early last Saturday m orning is the first time in NASA's 42-year history that a shuttle has been lost upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere. Within the last week, NASA has observed the anniversary of its only two other space tragedies, the Challenger explosion, which killed all seven astronauts on board on Jan. 28, 1986, and Apollo I s pacecraft fire that killed three on Jan. 27, 1967. T his was the 88th space flight since the Challenger mission. - Like the Challenger mission, there were seven astronauts aboard Columbia, which had been aiming for 9:16 a.m. landing on Saturday in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Comprised of four US Navy, two US Air Force, and one Israeli Air Force personnel, the crew members lost to the tragedy were Shuttle Commander Rick Husband, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, William McCool, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon, who were on their way home f rom a 16-day mission to space when their c raft broke apart. Mission Control in Houston immediately warned residents of the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas in Texas to stay away f rom any falling debris f rom the shuttle "due to the toxic nature of the propellants used aboard the shuttle." The shuttle was 207,000 feet above the E arth's s urface when it disintegrated, ruling out any possibility of a s urface to air missile impact, according to White House press secretary A ri Fleischer. The shuttle was also estimated to have been traveling upwards of 12,000 miles per hour j ust before it broke up and disappeared. spokesperson. A debris field was found in north central Texas. The flag in f ront of the countdown clock at Mission Control in Houston, TX, and in Cape Canaveral, FL, were lowered to half-mast by mid morning Saturday, unofficially acknowledging that the astronauts of the shuttle Columbia had lost their lives. Security had been tight for the 16-day scientific research mission because of the prèsenee of Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut. landing. Space agency officials feared his presence might make the shuttle more of a térrorist target, On Jan. 16, during Coiumbia's l ift o ff, a piece of insulating f oam f rom its external rocket b oosters came o ff and was believed to have struck the l eft w ing of the shuttle L eroy Cain, the lead flight director in Mission Control, assured r eporters Friday that engineers had concluded that any d amage to the wing was considered minor and posed no s afety hazard.

The increase in temperature and recorded wind resistance caused the shuttle's automatic pilot mechanism to change the course of the shuttle during reentry, which should not have caused the shuttle to disintegrate, but may have been an attempt by the ship's computers to avert the inevitable explosion. Another speculation about the demise of Columbia's reentry is that it was first scheduled for l iftoff in July of last year, when the mission was delayed due to a leak in oxygen lines. Columbia had been given all new equipment and instrumentation since that fuel tank, and the spacecraft soon a fter burst into flames. There were no space missions for a f ull two years a fter the Challenger tragedy. The next scheduled NASA mission was for the shuttle Atlantis to leave the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 1, 2003, in order to deliver more supplies and equipment to the international space station. Immediate word is that the mission will be postponed until f urther notice, however the Atlantis mission was supposed to deliver a relief crew to the members currently aboard the space station, and bring the current members home.

CaI State San Bernardino Student Charged With Murder CSU college student and his half-brother were arrested and charged for the grizzly murder of their mother By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff-Writer Local law "enforcement arrested Jason V. Bautista, 20, and Matthew B. Montejo, 15, for .the murder of their mother, Jane Marie Bautista. Jane Bautista's dismembered head and hands were found in a duffel bag in an apartment in Riverside; the remains of her body were located down a ravine off of Ortega Highway in Orange County. Police stated that the two defendants allegedly, dismembered their mother's body after her death to conceal her identity. One of the defendants told investigators that the idea to dismember the body came from an episode of "The Sopranos," which is a series about New Jersey mobsters on HBO.

"Faces of Hope 2003" is a bone marrow and stem cell recruitment campaign that is attempting to recruit a larger and more diverse pool of volunteer donors by targeting members of minority groups. Every year thousands of African Americans, American Indian/Alaska Natives, Asian/ Pacific Islanders and Hispanics are diagnosed with leukemia, aplastic anemia or other lifethreatening blood diseases. The only hope for a cure is finding a donor for a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. However, there are not enough members of these communities donating bone marrow or stem cells. These transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and patient. Because these traits are inherited, the most likely match would be a family member. The problem therein lies due to the fact that 70 percent of the people diagnosed cannot find a match within their own families. Although it is possiblefor a patient to match a donor from any racial or ethnic group, the most common match is someone from his or her own ethnic group. Although many minority patients are finding donors for their transplants, they are still less likely than Caucasians to identify a matched donor. More donors from these ethnic minority groups are still needed, so patients of every racial and ethnic background will have a chance of finding a matched donor. The key qualifications that must be met by possible donors are for her/him to be between the ages of 18 and 60, have no medical history of asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart or circulatory disease, be willing to be a donor for anyone who needs a transplant, and be within 20 percent of her/his ideal weight for her/his height and age. The North County Times, local radio stations, and other media outlets will cover the event. For information those interested can contact the CSUSM coordinator of the event and CSUSM student, Araceli Catalan at catal008@csusm.edu or Veronica Sateler, the Recruitment Specialist with San Diego Blood Bank/ Stem Cell Donor Program at (619) 400-8197. �Students Join Petition to UC President and CSU Chancellor Students and Community Groups Form a Coalition to Fight Against the High Cost of Text Books By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The Greenlining Institute estimates that students could save approximately 20%-40% each Because a significant number of year on the cost of books if price students believe the costs of text- competition was supported. books are too high, community groups, multi-ethnic advocates, Suggestions offered by The and students themselves are trying Greenlining Institute: to remedy the situation by filing a protest with University of CaliforProvide online versions of highnia (UC) President Richard Atkins cost textbooks. and California State University (CSU) Chancellor Charles Reed.

By MEG EPPEL Pride Staff Writer Last November, California voters passed Propositions 47 and 49, in* part to provide the necessary funds to build new classrooms and provide after school care. However,, since California is now facing a multi-billion dollar deficit, the money allocated for these propositions no longer exists. The loss of these funds will adversely affect the California schools system and its students. According to Ray Sotero, the press secretary for the Budget Department of the Assembly of California, the state budget has an overall deficit of 26 billion dollars. However, Sotero says that Governor Gray Davis has estimated the deficit to be approximately 36 billon dollars. In order to offset the largest deficit in California history, DaVis plans to make cuts throughout all state funded agencies. A onecent increase in sales tax is also planned. The public education system, including K-12, community colleges, UC and CSU schools, will see a loss of approximately 5.4 billion dollars. The CSU system alone will sustain a loss of 59.6 million dollars. The reduction is unallocated to allow the CSU the flexibility to determine where to make the cuts in order to minimize the effects at the schools, according to the Mid-Year Spending Reduction Proposal released by the Governor's office last December. The CSU system has also experienced an influx of 24,000 new students, requiring the schools to maintain the standards expected by the applicants despite the decreasing funds. CSUSM has dealt with the deficit this semester- by increasing tuition fees by Editorial H Staff Alyssa Finkelstein Lead Editor Staff Writers Lead Editor Design Editor News Editor Feature Editor Arts Bàtter Opinion Editor Spanish Editor Sports :pÉor ' tìmoWMm Graduate Intern Jared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jason Padilla, Jeanne Raupp Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel Martin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie My res, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Cundiff.DianaKQ, Caboto, Honee Folk, Araceli Catalan Advisor ', : Martha S arabia Desmond Barca Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Chris Martin Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Desmond Barca Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein i-1 Madeleine Marshall 10 percent. Unfortunately, this will not be the only fee increase that students will experience, because the state has approved a 25 percent increase in tuition fees for the 2003-04 academic year. open in the spring 2003 semester. Spencer McWilliams, dean of the college of arts and sciences, commented that the school would make every effort to provide the classes that students need in order to fulfill their requirements, but may not be able to offer the courses that students want. McWilliams also added that students would have fewer ways to fulfill their course requirements and fewer electives. CSUSM, as well as other state schools, will be receiving more money than in previous years, due to the tuition increase, but it will not be state funded, as explained by CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore.

She has received a grant from the National Institute of Aging to study families who are caring for an Alzheimer's patient. "I have always been interested in how family members respond to one another's development," said Dr. Hamill. The Alzheimer's Association web site, www.alz.org, features educational information about the disease and provides contact information, but does not mention teens, or the special needs or challenges they face when their families are confronted with caring for an AD patient. As Americans are living longer and the average age of the population increases, Dr. Hamill states that the fastest growing segment of the population is people who are 85 years and older. The risk for developing Alzheimer's is expected to increase by between 30 and 50 percent. According to Hamill, the care for these people will fall on the families, "contrary to the Dr. Sharon Hamill, who myth that Americans abandon received her Ph.D. in social ecol- their elderly." ogy from UC Irvine, is a develop- ested in adolescence because it is a period of intense change and growth. "In the case of looking at how Alzheimer's impacts the family, it is important to look at how young people in the family view the disease. Those young people are the future caregivers," she said. Another Alzheimer web site, the National Institute of Aging at www.alzheimers.org, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, makes a brief mention of teenagers as "secondary caregivers." The site acknowledges that the teens do suffer as a result of their parents' caregiving activities, but gives no specific suggestions about how to help teens cope with the stress. By JEANNE RAUPP SAPP Pride Staff Writer It's hard to think of anything more devastating than looking into the eyes of a loved one and seeing a lack of recognition, or even fear. That is what the families of later stage victims of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) face every day. Much research has been done on the stress faced by primary caretakers, typically the adult children and spouses, who are called the "sandwich generation." Little research, however, has been done on the effects that this caretaking has on the next generation, adolescents between 10 and 22 years old, living in the homes of the caretakers. the_project.htm. Hamill will use the information gathered in the study to create "interventions" for helping multi-generational caregivers. Although there is much to be learned by studying the difficulties in caregiving situations, the study goes beyond that. Hamill said, "By identifying those aspects that are rewarding - and there are some, believe me - we will be able to teach families how they can increase the positive experiences that they have." Along with a staff of graduate students and research assistants, Hamill will conduct phone interviews with the primary adult caregiver, the spouse, and one teen in the family. The family will be paid $15 for participating in a 30-minute phone interview.

Eligibility Must be a US Citizen Maintain 2.5 GPA SAT 1000 or ACT 23 ege Be a sophomore or junior in a 4-year college program Attend an approved college or university APPLICATION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 28th 1 Arguably, higher education has its own culture; a large family with a shared system of meaning. For some students, adaptation to the university culture can be difficult and may result in the student dropping out to avoid ambiguous situations. Conversely, students who are integrated into their campus culture are more likely to have a positive college experience. At CSUSM, the Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP) has courageously and successfully created a common and shared community for students who are at risk of having a negative college experience. The primary goal of FMP is to increase retention and graduation rates among these students. The program features mentor-protégé relationships, multiple support services, and sociocultural opportunities. Since its inception in academic year 1991-1992, the FMP has acted as a bridge between students and the educational system. Cd-Directors Vicki Qolich and Edward Pohlert uniquely manage the program with a conscious blend of academic and student service support organizations. At the heart of the program is the mentor-protégé relationship. Mentors consist .of volunteer faculty members who are partnered with student protégés on an individual basis. According to Anna Fleming, FMP support assistant and CSUSM student, the mentor-protégé ratio càn be 1:3 but overwhelmingly is 1: 1 with approximately 80 mentors and 85 protégés. The mentors and protégés meet at an orientation breakfast at the start UÊSW "MMM** COAST GUARD AMD COAST 60ARD RÉSERVE of the school year, where they receive handbooks that explain their respective roles and responsibilities. Thereafter, they are encouraged to meet or make contact monthly and to participate and interact in various FMP-sponsored social and cultural activities. Mentors offer protégés wisdom, guidance, and support in such a way that facilitates adjustment to college life and bolsters the returns that the protégés derive from their college experience. The mentor, as trusted advisor, provides guidance for both baccalaureate and post-baccâlaureate objectives. FMP protégé Michelle Demont is a senior with a major in sociology and minor in criminology. She-explained how the FMP program and her mentor, professor Donna Goyer of the sociology department, have been very influential and important to Jier college career. "They just give you moral support and help find ways to motivate you," Demont said. In fact, she explained how she was motivated in part by her mentor to help organize the Sociology Club and was subsequently elected as the sociology club president by her peers. "Donna really encouraged me to become involved," said Demont. Demont is planning to attend law school as well as earn a doctorate degree after her graduation from CSUSM. Demont articulates her career goals with enviable clarity and confidence. In an effort to expand post-graduate opportunities, the program offers the FMP Post-Grad Test Registration* Scholarship which will pay for four test fees per Academic Year, i.e. LSAT, GRE, GMAT, CBEST, RICA, etc. The program also provides books and software on select exams. Fleming explained "not only does the program increase graduation rates but it also increases the number of students who go o n : to graduate schools These students really never believed before that they could." ^ .\ V Another goal of FMP is to raise socio-cultural awareness and provide opportunities for mentors arid protégés to foster their relationships. Toward this* end, FMP sponsors two major social events per academic year, which include the Holiday Dialogue Gathering in December and the Year-End Graduate Awards ceremony in honor of graduating students. At the Holiday Dialogue Gathering, the participants enjoy food, games, and a gift exchange. The YearEnd Graduate Awards ceremony is the highlight of the academic year as the protégés have an opportunity to share how important the program was for them to reach their goals. Both Golich and Fleming expressed how compelling the end-of-year stories are. Fleming says, "At the graduation ceremony, we see tears of joy and appreciation." FMP also purchases a limited number of tickets to a diverse amount of cultural events at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and offers them to mentors and protégés on a first response basis. Goyer says of her experience, "It's great to know students on a personal level outside of the classroom." She adds that the process is rewarding for her in that she To be eligible for the program, students is able to experiencefirsthand the success must be enrolled at CSUSM, be a junior of a once "at-risk" student.

I assume the editors of The Pride A Response to Vincent Williams Mr. Williams, first of all thank you for taking the time to write to The Pride with your views, and for taking part in this public forum regarding last week's illustration depicting Hitler in front of a "No Parking" sign. The "Stop 'spinning' and Just Say Thank You" opinion, article with which the illustration was printed was not a complaint about having to pay high parking fees. The article and the Hitler graphic were both intended to address issues of propaganda and being disrespected. Hitler has become an icon and in the context in which his image was employed, it represents a reprimand and a cautioning to the institution with regard to propaganda. It was intended to be offensive, and to retaliate for the offense the author of the article took when presented The freedom of the press allows The Pride to print whatever they wish; good taste should have kept them from printing this picture. The "spinning" of fee increases is in no way comparable to Hitler's propaganda of war and genocide. If the editors of The Pride continue to feel the connection is accurate, I urge them to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum. You can go online and visit http: //www.ushmm.org/. Look at a picture of someone who either lived through the time or did not make it. Then tell me if losing your life is the same as spending an extra $98 to park your car. Vincent Williams Student, Liberal Studies with propaganda. A full life is lived in many human contexts, and Peggy Adams' life was indeed a full one. I know that it was, even though I knew her only in the limited context of the classroom and the campus, because of the kind of person she was. * At the beginning of the fall semester in 2001, I began teaching a new class on gender and sexuality in American history. I was worried about the class, because it would raise questions that students might find difficult to talk about. I needn't have worried, for a marvelous group of students had enrolled. On the second day, one brought a friend —Peggy Adams, an articulate, pleasant looking woman of about 50. A woman of extraordinary intelligence, humanity, and a Obviously, PR is important and necessary to the university in order to attract new students, but when the university addresses current students, it should talk straight to us and not insult us with a spun version of the situation. The article and the illustration were intended to strongly express our dissatisfaction with the handling of this issue. great, self-deprecating sense of humor, she quickly became a class leader. Her emotional maturity and verbal gifts gave her a remarkable ability to talk about experiences of love, human bonding, parenthood, and loss. When it came, time to talk about the sixties, seventies, and eighties, she shared her experiences with a (mostly) younger group of students. Students gravitated to her, and the class was a great success. We had wonderful conversations outside of class. She was more like a colleague than a student. It was a great pleasure for all of us to get to know Peggy. I admired her, and I will miss her. A lot. Anne Lombard Faculty response. Taste is subjective. Our nation is founded on the idea that unpopular ideas or beliefs, which are often described as "in bad taste," can and must be voiced for the free exchange of ideas to occur. The illustration I created using these images could be injected with any number of meanings (as can anything symbolic), but the intended meaning can only be properly understood based on its context, in this case, the article. Desmond Barca Nothing -in the context of the Design Editor article suggests that "losing your life is the same thing as spending an extra $98 to park your car." I also feel that your comments concerning good taste require Unreasonable Searches at the Alports Well, another winter break has gone by, and I'm wondering just hdw many other students here at CSUSM traveled by air during the break?

Similar searches are performed each time we apply for a job or loan. Why couldn't we administrate this system to monitor travelers? I project that on a long-term basis, it would reduce government spending (mostly on thousands of unnecessary and redundant TSA employee jobs) and greatly reduce the amount of unwarranted and unreasonable searches performed everyday by TSA employees. On my way back from Alaska, I was again subjected to a search of my person. As I walked through the metal detector at Anchorage International Airport, I had unknowingly put my hand in my pocket. Wow! Immediately I was treated as a suspect that was about to commit acts of terror that the world had not yet seen! The lady who 'apprehended' me for putting my hand in my pocket yelled to another TSA employee (a man) to come over and give me a 'full inspection'. He proceeded to take me behind a partition, which really wasn't a partition at all as it was made from see thru plexi-glass, and wand me furiously. My shoes beeped. He then commanded I remove my shoes for further inspection. Again he passes the wand over my entire body and socked feet. This time my metal belt buckle beeped. Now I had to unbuckle my pants in front of numerous other travelers and allow the inspector to take a peek at what I had behind my belt buckle. After he determined I carried no weapons or bombs and that I wore boxers from the GAP, he let me go. As I sat down to put my shoes back on (they had been submitted to a bomb testing device) the man voluntarily explained the processes and procedures of the TSA and in an almost apologetic tone he stated that he was just doing his job. Well good for him. I 'm glad that my taxes are paying for my inconvenient searches. Attention CSUSM students! Next time you fly, be aware of the new and 'improved' airport security. You may be patted, wanded, and probed, but I guarantee you will feel completely free of any violation. Until it happens again. And again. And again. Then you too will begin to wonder how the TSA has improved airport security, if not only to irritate, violate, and harass thousands of innocent Americans everyday.

By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer addition, both ASI and parking services are trying to create a direct left-hand turn into the lot in the near future, which would facilitate accessibility. "We want to show the students that they are getting something out of this [parking] fee increase," explained Brown. Curb parking, which was available last semester to relieve tense parking conditions, is now prohibited. Parking services claims that curb parking is no longer necessary since Lot X, a dirt lot located at the corner of Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is currently available. Each semester, the need for parking spaces relatively close to the campus increases. When questioned about the absence of curb parking, Robert Williams, CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure last semester, which first needs city approval for long-term use because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency vehicles. Williams said that curb parking was a short-term solution that "allowed [parking services] the time needed to open inconvenience for students who liberal studies major.

Williams added that the next "general surface lot is slated for the area behind the faculty/staff lot," and that this lot will have the capacity for about 600 vehicles. The new general surface lot is tentatively scheduled for the spring of2004, but its availability may not fully rectify the growing need for parking spaces; so there may be a need for Lot X even after the completion of the new lot. services and ASI are concerned about the potential for theft and personal assault after it gets dark. Currently, ASI is working on establishing temporary lighting, which would extend the lot's availability to 10 p.m. In By the academic year 2011/12, parking services plans to complete two parking structures that will house approximately 1,200 parking spaces each. As reported on the parking services website, in an effort to accumulate funds for this project, parking services will again implement a parking fee increase upwards of $300 beginning next fall. P ower s hut o ff a t C SUSM By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Electrical workers turned off CSUSM's electrical service on Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown. Even though the period without electricity was brief and during the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned why the entire system needed to be shut down and whether this is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical service system. These concerns appear to be unwarranted. Ken Collier, a journeyman electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 569, as well as an instructor on electrical theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in San Diego, answered questions about the installation of emergency generators for industrial applications. According to Collier, generators such as the one installed at CSUSM require the use of an automatic transfer switch or ATS. The ATS senses a lack of power in an established electrical distribution system and switches over to a generator usually driven by a gasoline or diesel engine. The ATS is more than a simple switch, as it also starts the emergency generator and performs electronic motor control operations regulating the generators output. Through the use of the ATS, an electrical system can be functioning again within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main switchgear providing power from the electrical utility, to new construction, such an emergency generator would be built into the electrical distribution system before power from the utility had been established, eliminating the need for any interruption of power. The ATS and generator at CSUSM had to be spliced into the existing distribution system. To avoid working on the high voltages present at the main switchgear, which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily interrupted. installed primarily in hospitals and in industrial operations where uninterrupted power was considered critical. The growing dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment requiring uninterrupted power Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui- tous. The emergency generator installed at CSUSM is meant to ensure that a constant and reliable supply of electricity is always available for students and faculty.

The parameters Kaplan was referring to was the 1.7-mile long protest route, which began at the intersection of Embarcadero and Market St., continued down Market St. and ended in front of San Francisco City Hall. On Saturday, Jan. 18 in San Francisco, there was an antiwar protest. Organized by the International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, the protest was widely deemed the largest anti-war ¡protest seen in San Francisco since the Vietnam era. At various points along the route, CSUSM student and first-time protester Justin Lessel climbed on top of things like trash cans to get a better view of things. His frank assessment of the scene was that he ".. .couldn't see an end to the people in either CNN.com reported that tens of thousands of people crowded the streets of downtown San Francisco. MSNBC.com was a little more specific in their attendance estimate, reporting that the San Francisco protest drew approximately 80,000 "It's just s o n ice to k now people.

Yamout said, "This isn't the first time I've heard of the news underreporting the attendance at peace rallies. Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a rally in DC and the Washington Post reported that only like 10,000 people had been there when in fact there'd been closer to 100,000. Eventually due to public pressure for them to come clean, they printed a correct article, which reported the actual attendance as being around 100,000. It's stuff like that that makes me skeptical of what I hear in [the] news." Recently, a website was created in an attempt to accurately tabulate the actual number of anti-war protesters throughout the U.S. John Kromko, former Arizona state legislator and cocreator of peacedemo.org, said that the reason he helped create this site is because he felt that, "...the national media typically reports only the number of protesters in protests in a few large cities, which shields pur elected officials from seeing the true depth of opposition to the war." Martin Eder, longtime organizer for Activist San Diego, concurred with that assessment, stating in an email that, "...onJanuary 18th we saw around 1,200 people marching with us in the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice contingent of the Martin Luther King Day parade, but unless you were there you probably would've never heard because it just wasn't reported accurately in the news."

As environmental damages, become more difficult to ignore, as the national population continues to grow exponentially, and as the world is once again facing political turmoil in the Middle East, a region economically crucial for its vast oil reserves, now may be the time to make more meaningful efforts to find alternative energy sources and step toward alternative living styles. the average miles per gallon figure of new cars and trucks deteriorated by nearly 8 percent, from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001, says Consumer Reports. Ideally, efficiency would be apportioned to improve emissions, miles per gallon (mpg), and horsepower. Overall, cars are only using about 15% of the energy in fuel; 75% of gasoline's energy is lost in the process of running the car. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy with advanced technologies is enormous. Motor vehicles need energy Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia), currently being proposed by to push air out of their way experts: (aerodynamic drag), to overcome the friction from tires, wheels, More-efficient technology and axles (rolling resistance), as well as to run accessories Technology today, with like air conditioning and power all of its advancements and steering.

I by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an independent research organization created by Congress, "If fuel economy had not improved, gasoline consumption would be about 2.8 million barrels per day (or 14 percent) greater than it is." CAFE standards, however, have remained frozen at the 1985 level for cars and the 1996 level of 20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the auto industry has fought against further increases. Higher fuel taxes While this is not the most appealing option to consumers, it cannot be denied that high fuel prices result in greater fuel conservation. In Europe and Japan, for instance, high fuel taxes have resulted in gasoline prices of $4 (US) per gallon or more, which in turn has created a large demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. In the U.S., however, high fuel taxes are unpopular and politically forlorn. It is unlikely that significant increases in gasoline taxes would pass anytime soon. Lisa Dufresne, a senior and an accounting major, captured popular American sentiment with her statement, "I would prefer to keep [gas prices and consumption rates] the Way they are out of personal convenience, even though it is pretty selfserving." "Even if I knew it was better for the environment, I would keep things the same," echoed senior Graham Smorzewski. "I can barely afford gas as it is now," he said.

According to a recent study "Government regulation is necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a senior and sociology major. "It's important to have the government watching over to ensure that we're taking measures to protect our environment." While CAFE has been helpful, the standards have serious loopholes and have not been increased in years. Significant improvements won't happen without governmental pressure, and to that end, it seems the standards should be allowed to maintain gradual improvements. Consumers9 Role People often attempt to make a personal statement through the car they drive - whether it is a statement of status, power, or strength. But the latest car-asstatement, says Alexander's Gas and Oil Connections, a website providing an overview of global oil news, "is an unornamented Japanese subcompact driven by people who want to poke a finger in the eye of Saddam Hussein, the oil sheiks and the neighbors who jump into gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles for a drive to the grocery store." Along with the potential statement that smarter cars can make, their purchase functions as a vote cast for better fuel economy.

Achieving particularly high gas mileage, new electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel engine technologies have hit the marketplace in the last decade. The numbers of these cars actually on the road, however, are trifling, and the detriment of the popular vehicles surrounding them in the marketplace overshadows their efforts toward positive change. The new, greener technology also tends to give Americans the impression that the overall marketplace is more conscious than it is in actuality^ Buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle, no matter what class, saves money on gas, may help reduce U.S. petroleum dependence, and sends a signal to carmakers to use advanced technology for increased energy efficiency.

They are off in masses, but not to the little red planet that is our neighbor. Instead they are going to the Mars located in Utah, one of the Mars Analog Research Stations created by the Mars Society. The Mars Society is an international organization that was founded in August 1998. The society is currently about 5,000 members strong, including the 50 to 60 members in San Diego. The society is both a scientific and social organization that combines experimentation with social activities. The society has created two Mars Analog Research stations, one in Devon Island in the Arctic that operated for two months and the other in the midst of Utah's deserts. On February 28, 2001, San Diego created is own chapter of the society and has since played an important role in the research stations, which serve as their mission support and control center. The Mars Analog Research Station in Utah is comprised of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a two-deck cylindrical structure with an eight-meter diameter that serves as the habitat for the crewmembers, as well as several peripheral external structures; some are inflatable and some may be attached to "the Hab". The crew is comprised of six members* of different chapters of the society; each crew stays at the habitat for two weeks. The crewmembers drive ATV's, which are vehicles that are similar to ones that have been used on the moon, in their space suits, explore their environment, perform geological experiments, and are attempting to grow plants in a "greenhab" with various soil samples in an atmosphere similar to what might be found on Mars. Currently/ the Mars Society is in complete control of these experiments. NASA has made its priority the Mir Space Station. The internationally manned station that is currently in orbit around earth has taken the bulk of NASA's funding. Due fo this lack of focus on Mars, it is unknown what NASA will do with the Mars Society's findings. The crew at the Research Station in Utah communicates with the San Diego based Mission Control via the Internet. They send typed reports that are filtered through a director to various members who specialize in different scientific fields. The communication is taken very seriously and is performed as realistically as possible, including invoking a five to ten minute time delay that would be realistic in the actual scenario. This allows for the researchers to realize any problems that might arise due to time delays or to be able to rectify any glitches in the system, in order to prevent M embers c onduct s imulation s cenarios to t ry a nd a nticiactual emergencies if astronauts pate p roblems f uture e xplorers may encounter, c ourtesy Photo/Marssociety.org. were to go to Mars. about difficulties due to language contributions to both the field In addition to fulfilling barriers that may arise in the of science and the San Diego scientific interests, the society future. community have not gone offers many of its members the unnoticed.

Confused and distraught, you are contemplating what you have just read in the title. Trust me, this trick is much more difficult to perform than it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the greatest spectator sports. Some people agree that it is even better when you are out there in the water doing it yourself, trying to be one of the 'big boys.' learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf. The issue is entitled, "Emision de Santa Cruz." I can't even do this trick yet, nor do I think that I ever will be able to; however I'm improving with practice. This trick, according to the magazine, ranks very high on the difficulty meter. My best advice would be to stretch really well and do a lot of practice heats before attempting this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should begin paddling as fast as you can to gather up enough speed before you come barreling down the wave. When you reach the bottom of the wave, whip off Here is a trick to try the next time you are out in the water. I the lip and keep your weight as light as possible while keeping centered on the board. As you whip off your lip, your board should now be freely flying through the air. Your back foot should be placed firmly on the tail of the board while the front foot places itself on the nose and at the same time prepare yourself for landing. When you land, pound the nose of the board with your front foot into the water, keeping your weight centered so the whole' board hits the water. If your front foot is not centered, the tail will shake, causing you to lose all balance and inevitably you will crash horribly as the wave rolls over you. The last step for this trick is to stand on the nose of your board and ride backward for a little bit, only so you look cool while you're riding in the wave, actually proving that you have just pulled something off. The feeling of accomplishment will soon override your whole body, allowing you to feel like you can do anything. doing airs. Don't get me wrong though, doing airs can be every surfer's dream, at the same time every surfer's nightmare. Nowa-days, doing airs are required in any professional surfing competition because almost every pro is able to perform them; and when they do, they do it really well, with complete accuracy I know this trick sounds really and perfection. hard to perform, but it almost Therefore, competition like doing a snap (or cutback), amongst individual surfers are only you're in the air.

Without the right amount day and it is hard for an amateur of speed, it will be difficult for like, you and I to keep track with you to rise your board out of the this fast paced world of surfing water, and if you can't do that, expedition.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to read it. That was a big mistake because I'm still mad. > This piece of propaganda from parking services starts out explaining the parking fee increases by saying how "we've had it pretty good," because, before 1999, parking was either free or 12-14 dollars a month. The article actually refers to our dismal parking condition as "our happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we."

I understand about budgets, building funds and bonds. I understand that we have to step up and pay more for less, so that the next generation of students won't have it worse. But I am sick to death of the spin and propaganda put out by parking services and pubic relations and I don't want to hear it anymore. It's an insult to my intelligence. Instead of telling us "how good we've had it" acknowledge our parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell other CSU schools. .However us thank-you.

Contrary to Vietnam era stereotypes of anti-war protesters, the protesters were largely representative of a multi-racial spcio-economically diverse mainstream America. There were soccer moms pushing strollers covered in peace signs, grandparents hoisting signs proclaiming "No War - Not In Our Name " kids of all ages beating all kinds of makeshift drums giving the march a sort of heartbeat, a small elderly marching band playing John Lennon's Imagine, working class types holding pro-union signs and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!" conservatively attired protesters holding signs saying things like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush," and there were hippies protesting too. During the protest, Lessel remarked on more than one occasion that he was, "...surprised that most of the protesters looked like ordinary Americans.. .because [he] was kind of expecting to see nothing but your stereotypical hippies." In the Jan. 13 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ruth Rosen wrote, "Never before in human history has an anti-war movement grown so fast and spread so quickly. It is even more remarkable because the war has yet to begin. Publicized throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind its sectarian roots and entered mainstream culture." Jan. 18 was a day of both national, and global antiwar protesting with protests simultaneously occurring in various major metropolitan areas around the U.S. and in over 30 nations. CNN.com reported that the week before the protest, the FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000 law enforcement organizations around the nation warning them to be ready for the possibility of violent protests. CNN.com reported after the protest, "There were no reports of such incidents, or of any violence or confrontations." In Washington DC, three dozen people protesting the anti-war protests gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial to offer their support to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq. One of these protesters was *55 year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy veteran from Minneapolis who asserted that, "The protesters don't understand the threat of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein... k's a war of liberation for people." This past weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told European political and business leaders at a conference in Switzerland that the U.S. remains willing to attack Iraq alone. CNN.com reported that, "In a 30-minute address that broke no new ground but attempted to enlist world support for U.S. military action against Iraq, Powell rejected criticism from delegates that the United States has not provided enough evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein retains weapons of mass destruction." Powell went on to say, "The more we wait, the more chance there i s,for this dictator with clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a weapon, share a technology or use these weapons again. The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, is the greatest danger of our age." Judging by the language of the signs and chants at the San Francisco protest, it would be safe to say that the protesters reject the Bush administration's pro-war arguments. CSUSM student and first-time protester Tasha Iglesias said she was glad she'd driven herself and three other CSUSM students to San Francisco for the protest. She Photo c ourtesy o f w ww.internationalanswer.org. remarked that, "It's just so nice to know that I'm not really crazy, that I'm not alone, that there are -actually TONS of people who feel the way I do about this issue.

It has been speculated that the lack of availability is due to the statewide budget crisis, but there is another sieve that the California Faculty Association (CFA) claims is draining the CSU system, not funded by state allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses by direction of the Chancellor's Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far, CSUSM is remaining on budget and not showing any signs of trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far from finished. CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft According to the homepage of the California State University at calstate.edu, the entire system is made up of 407,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The primary representative of the faculty in the CSU is the CFA. In an email circulated to its members on Nov. 20, the CFA has issued an "urgent request" to all CFA members, asking for any kind of information and/or evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few months, the "California State Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft) computer data project." The message also reports that the "software has demonstrated poor performance history at other U.S. campuses, and that the project is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars more than its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million approximation is system-wide, there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each university were the same size, there would be a roughly $17 million average for each school to pay out of its own funding - and each campus is expected to surpass that estimate. Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project, entitled "The Future of CSU, Reclaiming the University for the People of California," involved speeches by powerful union representatives from around the state. Pauline Robinson, the director of the CSU division of the California State Employees Association (CSEA) staff union, expressed her concern about the PeopleSoft changeover. "What I think the CSU is missing here is they don't value the talent that they have in the system...They now have another partnership going.. .It's called CMS or PeopleSoft... We have Silicon talented techs in our system, but their talents aren't recognized. [The CSU seems] to think that these people are not economically viable, that they need to bring in another whole group, they need to outsource all the work, or insource our people, whichever way they're planning on going...So when you say where is the future of this CSU, I really couldn't say, because there's nothing that we can do to stop progress, but I still think that peoples' needs should be looked at and measured before you just jump into something," Robinson said. What is PeopleSoft? According to Bill Welch, an independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going way over budget happens about as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that created a multi function software package that was meant to be 'all things to all people,' according to Welch. He said, "It is a very large system and has many components, depending on [why a company needs it]." The PeopleSoft programs for higher education use basically three products. The first is a Human Resources/ Payroll Financials package, which tracks income, expenses, and assets. The second is a Student Administration package that includes student financial inforSee PEOPLESOFT, page 5 Disorganization or Fraud? ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for Edwards Cinema Management Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent in Part on Questionable Activities By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored its first free movie night for students at Edwards Cinemas in San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8 Mile. Students began to arrive at 6 p.m. and were shocked to find out that the theater personnel were unaware of the free ticket offer for CSUSM students on that evening. Problems in Planning and Organization San Marcos Edwards Cinema manager, David Landfield, was furious to find the entryway to the theater bombarded and blocked off by CSUSM students who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not authorized nor were we notified of this event," said Landfield. He further commented that for an event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for the organization (ASI) to rent the theater at a cost of $2,400. Worried students lined up outside the doors watching and listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to theater management that they had learned of this free movie promotion through flyers and e-mail. Grace, an Edwards employee who was stationed at the door, pointed out the illegali- ties of the advertisement that ASI had produced. Theflyerfeatured not only a copyrighted film advertisement that was reprinted without permission, but the name of the cinema was printed without notification and permission as well. At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI and their programming board, who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with over 100 group activity passes to purchase tickets at the box office. The tickets were bought at this time, and the programming board members who were buying the tickets were not even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers distributed at CSUSM said that only 50 tickets were going to be given out to CSUSM students, however this was not the case, as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to why the programming board members were purchasing the extra 50 tickets, they expressed concerns about riots breaking out if they denied entrance to anyone. Cinema management confronted ASI programming board members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI that he would not exercise the law and press charges against the university at this time, however he indicated that this type of event was never to occur again without permission of the theater. He further declared that the theater would be more than happy to accommodate future university-sponsored activities with proper notice and planning. ASI Programming Board Representative Brett Gladys defended their actions by saying that they had called the theater during the previous week and spoken with an employee, who had told them that there would be no problem with holding the event on the day and time requested. It was later determined that the employee was not a member of theater management and did not have the authority to permit the event, thus Gladys had been given incorrect information. Student Money for NonStudents While about 18 students said to have received aflyeror e-mail for the event, many admitted to being close friends of ASI members who had invited them to the showing. Many students who had attended in response toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge amount of people who showed up with the ASI programming board members. Programming Board and ASI members began checking school IDs and handing out tickets around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet several students were seen going See ASI MOVIE, page 4 �News Update: CSUSM Staff Responds to Registration and Administration Troubles By JULIE MYRES & ALYSSA classes because they obtained FINKELSTEIN poor attendance in the past." Pride Staff Writer & Lead Editor Wiener also indicated that, "There is a Catch 22 here in Last week, The Pride ran an some departments: If lecturers, article about the difficulties that who teach most evening and both students and faculty are Saturday classes (as they teach encountering with new registra- most classes at GSUSM), are not tion policies and administrative allowed to teach upper division changes.

Wiener (see table at right). Wiener added that, for the classrooms accompanied by asterisks, "the realistic maximum occupancy is much lower; student in back rows can see and hear poorly. These statistics are based on Academic Scheduling's chart for the second week of the term. More classes might have been added." This information is based from statistics taken from this Fall 2002 semester.

He said, "a basic foreign language class [was scheduled during] the first few weeks in ACD 102, a large lecture hall. At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even had a wheelchair-bound student. If you are in such an unsafe classroom, you should report it to Regina Frasca, Director of Risk Management and Safety." In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound concern among The Pride and many students regarding the decision-making of the use of these classrooms. CSUSM administrator response to statistics previously reported The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director of Enrollment Services. In an email sent to Staff Writer Julie Myres (the author of last week's article), Riehl said that, "Your article pointed out the challenges we face as a rapidly growing university." Riehl also pointed out a few Capacity Building / Room # ARTS 101 (VPA classes only) 60 200 ARTS 240 145 ACD 102 80* ACD 104 90* ACD 305 65 UH 100 56 UH 360 60 UH 370 66 UH 373 clarifications about the information printed last week. He said that, "Our enrollment this fall was 7,627, not "just fewer than 7,000," and he also clarified that SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of 2003. The original information reported last week was based on various estimated numbers that were reported by members of the administration and the CSUSM website. The SDSU information was originally gathered from the Union Tribune, however an article published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday December 6,2002 also corrected the SDSU statistic. It also turns out that the FTES numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These numbers make no sense at all, although I think I know where you got them. The 5,066 was the actual FTES count for last spring. The 6,627 number was the headcount for last spring. We project this spring's FTES count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents a decline from 5,810 FTES and 7,627 in the fall. We stopped taking admissions applications for spring earlier than ever in our history to attempt to bring enrollment down closer to our funding level." The information published earlier was gathered originally from a member of Usage 39% 36% 32% 40% 45% 40% 55% 53% 51% personnel at the College of Art and Sciences. Editor's Note: This article is definitely covering a controversial subject that has brought attention to students, faculty, and administration. Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and faculty members were granted with complete anonymity in the original article. One reason there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack of information openly published for student use. The Pride found many sources of information that contradicted each other and did its best to get the correct information for the article. It is apparent that Pride staff writers are frequently given incorrect information by staff and faculty who do not realize the implications of the information they are distributing. This has happened several times during this semester when writers have approached sources for stories. Correct information could be more easily reporteddn the future if faculty and staff as well as students, try to remember that The Pride is also growing (alongside the university) albeit with only one journalism course and no program to support it.

The rule applies only to first-time freshman and to lower division transfer students with fewer than 60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at 11:59 p.m., applications for these two prospective groups were closed, however applications from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and graduate students are still being accepted. ASI ment within our funding." Despite the closing of the admission process, Richard Reihl, executive director of enrollment services, said that CSUSM allowed a few extra days for students wanting to enroll in this university. "The deadline allowed for some flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open enrollment period established by the California State University ended November 30, 2002. We've allowed a few extra days as a grace period for those whose applications might have been delayed for one reason or another, but we now must stop accepting applications because of our need to manage enroll- students due to the budget deficit. "Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from transfer students," expressed Riehl. According to Riehl, since Dec. 5 more than 4,300 applications had been received from potential freshman students. This equals the number of applications received from freshman for the entire 2002-2003 academic Because of the increasing popyear, and this time the applica- ularity of CSUSM, Riehl said, tions were accepted all the way "We recommend that students through July. file their applications materials as soon as possible."

He added, "To do that, we may have to slow down the number of new students entering the university until we have more resources available." Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment for the 2002-03 academic year, and it is currently struggling to balance its funding with its teaching and service obligations. Furthermore, with the prospect of reductions in state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus has started to adopt a cautious approach to admissions, which might leave many prospective students out of the university.

He said, "It's very beneficial to have all campuses using the same administrative system." He also added that in May of2000, the CSUSM President's Cabinet approved a 6-year project plan, which began during the fiscal year 2000/2001 (sometime between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001). Cal State San Marcos has chosen a phased implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the program] are phased in, we are training our staff." According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to "complete implementation of the [Human Resources], Finance, and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment." Contrary to CFA accusations that the CSU campuses are outsourcing talent, Veres has been an employee of CSUSM since 1992, and he says that all members of the CSUSM CMS/ PeopleSoft implementation team are employees of the university. However, he admitted that "we do contract with some consultants but only for very short periods of time - 1-3 days at a time - and only when we need help through some functional or technical detail." The CSUSM website has a link for the invoicing of PeopleSoft trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/ T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot be opened by anyone without a password. Employees are not issued passwords until they have completed the training required by the program. Needless to say, very few people on the CSUSM campus actually have access to this information. CSUSM Domestic Violence Loses Norm Event Brings Awareness to Campus Nicholson CSUSM sociology students educating other college student's about domestic violence and sexual assault By RIACUSTODIO Arts Editor Cal State San Marcos is hosting a Domestic Violence Informational Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 10-11. Staff from the Women's Recourse Center (WRC) of Oceanside and counselors will be on hand in Founders' Plaza from 9 a.m.3 p.m. to answer any questions regarding domestic violence and sexual assault. Students of Sociology 329, Victims and Criminals, are putting together this fair in order to contribute to awareness of domestic violence as part of a service learning project in our communities. All events are free and open to the public. On Tuesday a nd. Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in Academic Hall 404, panel discussions will focus on different issues, ranging from local services that are available to victims and their families to local law enforcement, detailing their involvement in domestic violence. CSUSM Professor Valerie Callanan of the sociology department expressed that Tuesday's panel will discuss informative issues dealing with criminal justice response to domestic violence. Topics discussed on Wednesday's panel will overview information dealing with local services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

By BRIAN FISHER Pride Staff Writer Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean of instructional and information technology services, spends his last weeks at CSUSM after nine years of campus technology achievements. Dr. Nicholson immigrated to America from Scotland at age 18. His constant interest in engineering got him jobs in aerospace technology. After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted to working for the Santa Ana School District as a teacher, and then moved to a community college. in California. CSUSM has even become the email service provider for the new Channel Islands campus. With over 2,000 computers networked together at CSUSM, wireless access and new computers, it has become one of the leading technology schools in Southern California. Norm says he is confident in his staff and believes the school will be in good hands. He explains, "I'm leaving the university in very good shape!' Nicholson described why he decided to leave CSUSM. "I've worked long enough. I've spent 9 years here, and a whole career of 30 some years before that in other places. I just decided now it's time I can afford to. Its time to find out if there's life after work! I've worked really hard almost all my life and I'd like to see what else there is. I'd like to spend more time playing golf and spending time with family." His interest in Cal State San Marcos sparked after he discovered that many older schools were shutting doors on innovative thinkers and ideas. Norm wanted a fresh start with people "who were willing to push the envelope of instructional technology."

However, Desjean's job is somewhat different than most. Desjean has a talent with the bass guitar and explores that talent with his band 'No Knife,' which can be heard if people listen to 92.1 or 91X fm. Their latest album, entitled "Riot for Romance," has had quit a bit of success, landing them their last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' back in October. "No Knife's" latest tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band a chance to play some songs from their new album, and also gave Desjean a chance to not attend school for a few weeks. About the challenge of going on a tour and attending school at the same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when we toured extensively. Now that I am at Cal State it's all about touring during the summer, or doing short runs here and there so I don't miss too much work. It can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I feel I could be doing a album. Last Halloween, Desjean left his class in a hurry to get down to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach where all band members dressed up and played the Halloween party. They also Desjean has been playing recently did a tour in Japan and bass for about 12 years now, will go back again this January. and has been with the band for Desjean plans on graduating in about 10 years.

Our Neighbors Show Support: They Too th Remember September 11 By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer To this day, America still sits and waits to see if the current administration will decide whether or not to take this country into a full-scale war. Meanwhile, Mexico and Canada's people say to support America, although they would not want to see any harm come to this country. A war on this land could very well cause harm to their borders, especially if the United States is dealing with an enemy that is capable of using chemical warfare - warfare that will not only take out the soldiers fighting but also the innocent people at home who fight to keep their country going.

He said that he does not want there to be war, but if there be one he would support America. "What happened last year was not right that day or any other day. Terrorists hurt your country, other countries and my home country. It is not an American war. It is the world's war against terrorists." Further east, in the mall of the town of Kelowna, people expressed feelings about the possible war that faces America. One person stood out in her answer, Bianca Hughes. Hughes said, "I am Canadian and proud, but if for some reason I had to say I was something else I would say an American. I mean we are like Americans but on the other side of the border. If America goes to war I hope they win. If the war comes to American soil then I hope that the Canadian army helps with whatever." In a town called Hope a women working the cashier at the highway gas station responded, " You Americans should bomb the terrorists, they should pay for what they did. I know someone who died in the twin towers." Even farther east, in the small town of Vernon, the last stop before heading back to Vancouver, Canadians were also very supportive of the Americans. They answered with passion as if their own country, was attacked. Heidi Lee, a 19-year-old nursing student, said, "When I saw the news and watched those planes crash my heart dropped. I was so sad when I could see people falling from the tops of the buildings. It is not fair, terrorists are cowardly people, there is no combat in terrorism." �Chimpanzees Progression in the World Ruben Science Fleet Center: J ane Goodwall's Wild Chimpanzees By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor through the film as the dominator of his companions, showing force in order to establish his Jane Goodwall's Wild Chim- rule over the group. panzees, an IMAX film featured at Ruben H.

Then she counterparts, and is depicted presents a couple of questions to the audience. One question that Goodwall makes is "why don't we consider chimpanzees human beings?" Another question is "what differences are there really between human beings and chimpanzees?" There is no doubt that chimpanzees walk on their hands as opposed to humans, showing a difference between the two. However, Goodwall points out that the differences among humans and chimps are minimal. In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans and chimps has been the notion that human beings can reason and pass down knowledge to their children—this assumption no longer exists in the realm of understanding. Goodwall discovered that chimpanzees have learned to make tools with which to hunt their prey, such as ants. This knowledge of hunting, chimpanzees have passed down from their mothers during the seven years where baby chimps need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar to children's development with their mothers. This reasoning and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot reason or teach baby chimps. With regard to whether people should consider chimpanzees a species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that chimps are closely related to, or even actually are, human beings. The research can be used to study the evolution of human beings, because the chimps may be the best example of how human beings in fact evolved from chimpanzees. gallery experience.

These organizations seek assistance from the student body, faculty and staff in the form of donations of toys, non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three holiday drives and one fund raising campaign will all be held on campus and the specifics and contact information are listed in the paragraphs to follow. Angel Tree Toy Drive Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis, is an international student community service organization that helps to foster leadership skills and provide community services to children. For the 11th year this organization has sponsored the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With organizational help from the Black Student Union and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Circle K International plans to provide toys for local non-profit organizations. Organizers of the drive intend to make Christmas a little merrier for a San Marcos home for boys. This particular home was designed to house young men that have been aban- front of Craven 4107, Commons 207B and University Hall 400.

There was a huge Christmas celebration, and al) the children were giddy. Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th annual City of San Marcos' Christmas celebration, known as Santa's Magical Village, which lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9: 00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center. With the celebration geared toward younger children, who always seem to have a double dose, of the Christmas spirit, events were there to keep adults occupied as well. Those in attendance had the opportunity to view and purchase a variety of arts and crafts, all displayed by children dressed as elves and vendors throughout the village. holiday music.

Of course As the evening grew darker, a fire engine's bullhorn announced that it was time for the Christmas tree lighting. With everyone leaving the village in order to gather around the tree, positioned in a grassy park just shy of the parking lot, all awaited to see the spectacle. When the crowd was large enough, the firemen flipped the switch and the tree came to life with a mediocre display of a few strands of Christmas lights. Nonetheless, the children who were still energetic from all the caroling and sweets were thrilled at the tall tree. all items displayed were for sale carols.

However, it did not break the momentum of the play, which the spectators were able to perceive and comment. "It was wonderful, funny and very well organized. I did not know anything about this Mexican tradition, because I am from Guatemala, but I enjoyed it a lot," said Ana Gonzalez, who came with some other Palomar College students to see the play, The Visual and Performing Arts departments' Arts and Lectures series, in conjunction with the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE), showed from Thursday through Saturday its 2nd annual presentation of the play, La Pastorela. On Thursday and Friday the presentation took place at 8: 00 pm, on Saturday there were two performances at 2:00 and 8: 00 pm. Directed by Dora Arreola and adapted by Ursula Tania, this traditional Mexican performance is a religious story that was first introduced to Mexico in the sixteenth century to teach native people about Christianity. The central idea in this adaptation is that no matter how hard the devil and his wife Luciferina try to impede the shepherds from going to Bethlehem to adore the way it shows the temptations that child Jesus, the shepherds tri- Satan offers the good people who want to follow God's purposes. umph over evil.

Professor Marcos Martinez, Associate Professor of Theater from CSUSM was in charge of the stage production.

He also gave special thanks to the Bravo Foundation, the Escondido Swap Meet and the CECUT (Centro Cultural Tijuana/Tijuana Cultural Center) for their support. The play was worth the $10.00 cost per person. Well done and congratulations to all the artists and all the people that participated in the creation of this lovely, yet hilarious play! Can I Stay up to See Santa? By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer child question whether Santa is real or not? Is it that they did not like the presents they got the year before "Is Santa Clause real?" or is it that the stories of St. Nick have been so radically transformed This question has been asked to during the years that it is difficult to almost every parent at least once in believe in them anymore? his or her lifetime. Many parents are not ready to look straight into a The history about St. Nick dates child's face and tell them that Santa as far back as the fourth century, is not real. Yet who are parents to when a wealthy Christian bishop judge what is real and what is not made a name for himself by giving real? Many parents of today are too many gifts to poor children. A fter wrapped into working all the time his death, the Christian church that they don't rejoice and see the named Dec. 6 a day of remembrance world around them, let alone figure for the bishop. He then became known as Father Christmas and was out if a Santa really exists. from that point forever linked with In today's day and age, parents the holiday. Like his name, Santa have stopped believing in something Clause, his attire was not always in which they have believed for all the standard red and white suit that of their childhood. What makes a we know of today; it changed from story to story. Some stories had him wearing a purple or blue suit, and other stories called him an elf. In the 1930's, Coca Cola officially hired Santa Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa Clause as the Santa that we know today, sporting the traditional red and white company colors. Many of the stories that came about from this bishop were based on legends and mythical creatures. One legend, which is known, is that he carried around a bag-full of toys and rode on a flying sled that was pulled by reindeer. In 1822 Clemente Moore wrote a series of poems and named all the reindeer that pulled the sled. Although Rudolph was not one of the eight original reindeer that Moore described, he was the most popular. Rudolph was merely a byproduct of the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May. Advertising plays a major role in our life by shaping our beliefs and traditions. Many times it is hard to tell whether an event from the past really happened or not, because of the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much. So next time when a child looks at you with their big brown eyes and asks you the question I asked in the beginning of the article, think about the ramifications it could have if a child does not have hope.

Not all jobs need college but in most jobs, reading and writing are needed. So here are the facts: US History of Literature I & II and English Literature I & II are required courses that have not been offered in the evening at all since I have been attending CSUSM.

I have been attending CSUSM Starting my day at around 6:00am and ending it at around 9:00pm, as I walked across Palomar's parking lot, I found myself thinking on a regular basis, Long Day's Journey Into Night. It felt okay, though, because somehow I thought I would be rewarded, and I passed on all the weekend events that I was invited to because studying needed to be done. question. Plus, if you are attending classes in the evening, it's really hard to just stop off on your way in because evening traffic is tough and it's usually a sprint from the parking lot to get to class on time. Let's try some other departments. The Career and Assessment Center has the same hours asfinancialaid office. The parking permit office hours are 9:00-5:00, Monday through Thursday and closes early on Friday. Everything closes early on Friday, which makes me think: couldn't they stay open later one night to compensate for leaving at 2:00 or 3:00 on Friday? The Community Service Learning Center hours are also 8:00-5:00. Here is another really important department especially for me, the Writing Center; this also closes at 6: 00. I have never been there and my professors are concerned that I can't write a formal argumentative paper. Actually, I am concerned too, unfortunately I can't get any help! I feel that something's lacking regarding the importance relating to the power of the written word. That and evening students are not wanted at CSUSM.

It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. When I was a smoker we were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke in people's faces but I did smoke in buildings. I quit smoking while attending a junior college. Our college was putting into effect a smoke free campus. I was even on the committee. I fought hard for smoker's rights. One thing did come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away from the people traffic, most of them were in parking areas. Smokers complained at first, but were great after a while. The only problem we were having was who was going to be the 'cops'. I know they have solved the problem by now though. But now for CSUSM, the smokers definitely need to get away from the doors and hall ways. The smoke is quite disturbing. I also hold by breath when walking by these students. I am an asthmatic and the smoke does irritate my lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to put the ashtrays away from the buildings. They need to be in open areas. When it rains, we all have umbrellas. To smokers: Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways. Smoke in open areas and try to quit. It will save your life. I watched my mother and her husband die because of smoking and it was a very ugly sight. I was not ready to quit at the time but it wasn't much longer before I did. Our campus has many resources when you are ready to quit. Dorothy Bruno Senior-LTWR The Smoke i nthe Air Forget about finals, midterms, papers, or cramming for surprise quizzes; my biggest struggle is breathing. Every morning I struggle to make it up the numerous flights of stairs leading to the campus, only to face the clouds of cigarette smoke that hang in the air morning, noon, and night. Which is why I was so pleased to see Steven Zamora's article "Cigarette Smoking: A School Problem" in the last issue of the Pride. This article addressed the problem... I feel that I must strenuously address the problem of smoking on campus. Aside from the issi^e of second hand smoke which I do feel is a pressing concern, the issue of students with respiratory problems (myself included) are at risk to dangerous toxins that have severe negative effects. in order to get a small amount of oxygen into my lungs.

You are shutting out parents who have been heavily involved in volunteering their time and making donations to the school. Do you realize that the tuition increase for non-funded community parents who have their children in three days a week part-time will be from $216 a month to $640 a month? And even if a family could afford it, not everyone wants their children in preschool full-time. A large number of children at the ELC attend two or three days a week, half day. The availability of this schedule is part of the reason the ELC is such a terrific program. Many parents use the ELC as a quality preschool experience for their children, not as a full-time day care setting. What is disturbing is that these changes were made without soliciting any input from the non-funded families. We were not invited to the grant meeting where the reasons for the ELC dropping the CDE Preschool Grant were discussed. These changes came as a total shock to many, and it is upsetting to think that our children may not be able to finish out their The ELC is, hands-down, the best preschool last semester at the ELC. program in North County.

Thanks, Alison Sayer Freshmen La Pastorela According to Rick Moore's latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire, he states that our publicly funded university is going to play host to Pastorela: a traditional Mexican holiday. This original Spanish production brings together Cal State San Marcos students and community members in a festive presentation of a traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time understanding why and how this religious "production" that has its roots in Christianity, can actually be allowed to be presented on campus. Is it because its organizers thought that it is harmless? A fter all, aren't they just "getting in the spirit of Christmas?" Doesn't this _ production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would hopefully be relegated or limited to being shown in a church rather than the academy??

The preschool has run into fiscal difficulty, and as a result, drastic changes in the childrens' class schedules are being implemented next semester. I am forwarding you a copy of a petition that I am currently circulating at the preschool, protesting these changes. I will be delivering the petition to Keith Speers, Executive Director of ASI, at 10 am on December 12. While the majority of students at CSUSM are not parents, these changes at the preschool are of major concern to the students and staff members who are. Starting March 1, all student parents will be required to have their children The result of these changes is that the preschool will become inaccessible to most parents due to scheduling and monetary constraints. It undoubtedly will spell the end of the program in the long run, which will mean student parents will not have a campus preschool option for their children. This issue may be a deciding factor of where to attend school for many student parents. I wanted to share the information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

Registratm And A d m i n i s ^ ^ Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes. fair to other students. Why don't they open school for winter and summer sessions for the classes that are harder to get during the regular semester?" By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State University San Marcos is a growing school. The projected growth for the future is to be as big a campus as UCLA. This idea is very feasible, considering the fact that CSUSM has more land than SDSU, which houses over 33,000 students to date. CSUSM currently has just fewer than 7,000 students enrolled for the Fall 2002 semester and the expected enrollment for Spring 2003 is even more; one of the reasons is because SDSU is not accepting any new students for Spring 2003. Many argue that CSUSM does not offer enough classes for the current students, yet they expect to eventually enroll upwards of a prospective 35,000 students. Students preparing for next semester by registering on-line or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they attempt to design a schedule that will fit their needs, due t o their appointment date or lack of class availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated students began Nov. 4th and will continue until Dec. 6th for Spring 2003, via SMART Web or by phone. Ca!

No matter what their class status or major is, students are having great difficulty being able to get the classes they need semester after semester. There are not enough classes available for students to pick from in order to fill their major and even minor requirements. Classes are either at opposite times of the day, on opposite days of the week, or Major problems regarding overlapping in scheduled times. registration of classes The majority of the student body at CSUSM works part or One reason that CSUSM is experiencing this problem is f ull time jobs as well as going the lack of scheduling for the to school part or full time. Thus, required classes in each major. their schedules are strategically Class availability is the major planned to be able to juggle both issue as students prepare for next responsibilities. Many students ¡g ¡g 11 -w-tfF ¡ complain that the classes they need to graduate are only offered during the day when they are at work. Mona Kadah, a junior and high technology managementbusiness administration major, said, "This is my third semester here at CSUSM and I have been going full time. The school is trying to focus more on students who are working f ull time who only want classes at night, which is good, but this is not flexible to students who work part time and want to be f ull time students. We need more convenient scheduling with flexibility set around student's realistic schedules. I don't feel that my needs are being met and I don't think it is James Chesterton, a junior finance major, commented on his registration experience saying, "I work f ull time and Finance 321 is only offered during the middle of the day." Then when asked how he felt administration would help him he expressed that he had not contacted them and that, "I figured they don't care. Take it or leave it. I would like to see more classes offered for the evening students." Others comment that there are just not enough sections available for the required classes to be able to fit them in their schedule. Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not being able to get needed classes at the time planned postpones graduation and it's not fair. CSUSM has to figure out a way to tone down or even eliminate this problem if at all possible. Of course, I realize that no solution can satisfy every student, but if improvements are made students would be a lot happier on campus around registration period." Jeff Bottger, a senior as of spring 2003 and communication major, commented, "I think there definitely needs to be a lot more sections of communication classes added. It's hard on those students who work to take the classes they need which are offered at random hours throughSee ADMIN, page 2 V OL.XNO.XIII Fall Grad Reception By MELISSA REED Pride Staff Writer In honor of all the students who will be graduating this semester, there will be a Fall Graduation Reception held on Friday, December 13. The ceremony will take place in a tented area from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza, which is in front of the new Visual and Performing Arts Building. Speakers at the reception will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez, Dr. Francine Martinez and ASI president Jocelyn Brown. Although there is no dress code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress smart-casual. Last year was the first year that this event took place, and it was said to have been very nice. There will also be refreshments to aid in the festivities. Because seating is limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should let the Office of Student Affairs office know as soon as possible. Guests of graduates should be limited to no more than four people. Because the specific names of the graduates will not be called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come participate in the traditional May 17th graduation at the Del Mar Fairgrounds For students having any additional questions, please call the Office of Student A ffairs at 750-4056. Coffee With A Conscience ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers By GAIL TARANTINO Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Programming Board, in an effort to reach out and acknowledge students, is giving out hot coffee outside the Dome Plaza on Monday mornings from 7 a.m.-9 a.m. The programming board, "is a group of students hired by the ASI to plan and execute events to contribute to the development of campus life and community," said Valerie and in a hurry in the mornings."

Brett Gladys, a member of the programming board and one of the students handing out coffee explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and farmers were paid a fair price regardless of the market." Gladys added that, "Fair Trade coffee is also produced without pesticides and forests aren't slashed and burned to grow it." Noah Smith, also a programming board member, explained the coffee is purchased from "People's Co-op in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith "promotes both organically grown and vegetarian products."

I fortunately do not work; next semester I was hoping to get an internship, but with my class schedule across the board time wise, it may not be an option." Starting with registration for Spring 2003 semester, a new policy by the administration notifies students of their registration date by campus email only. Many students are frustrated with the priority registration dates, because they do not really give them priority service. Kadah added, "For example, HTM 426 is a popular class among Business majors and there is only one section being offered for the Spring 2003 semester. The class was filled and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus, giving me no chance i t getting into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very important for my major and the other electives do not fill my needs. By the time my priority registration time came, it was useless, because there were only two electives classes available." Kadah is still trying to get a response from administration, but does not have much hope of getting registered and will try crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the ning of the semester.

There is a definite c orrelation between the classes available to the number of professors available to teach the classes. There are more lecturers than there are tenured professors at CSUSM. According to the Cal State San Marcos website, there are about 256 lecturers on campus this fall compared to 201 tenured and tenure track faculty. Lecturers can teach a maximum of five classes per semester and many of them teach only one or two classes while they are willing to teach more.

Working full-time, going to school and raising her two daughters leaves her little f ree time, but she believes in the promise of a better life. Her story, listed in the Soroptimist Foundation scholarship packet, shows how every year this foundation has been helping women like Narumi all over the world themselves and their families through its Women's Opportunity Award. The award, which was established in 1972, has been established in order to benefit women who are trying to achieve their personal and professional goals through education and employment. The program was designed to assist women who are providing the primary source of financial support for their families. The award can be used to offset the cost of tuition, books, childcare and transportation. The amounts of the award do vary Coffee With A Conscience On each cup of coffee that is given away is a label, explaining the concerns surrounding the production of coffee and why the Fair Trade coffee co-op is a welcomed solution. Cuevas explained that the statistics used on the labels were taken f rom the Global Exchange website (www.globalexchange.org/ coffee.) According to the website, "coffee farmers receive and every year, three awards are granted. The first place winner receives $5,000 and the second and third place winners receive $3,000.

By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer High attendance numbers at informational. meetings signify Cal State San Marcos students' peaked interest in studying abroad. The global affairs office provided a series of informational sessions throughout this fall semester, each of which yielded a relatively large audience of students who were interested in study abroad programs. MM mm mm ter abroad, but the majority was interested in summer programs. In spite of disparate needs and interests, everyone attended with an open mind in order to embrace opportunity and insert her/himself into a new cultural context. Cal State San Marcos students' heightened interest follows a national trend. The number of American college students receiving academic units for study abroad in 2000/01 increased 7.4% from the previous year, reaching a record total of 154,168 students, according to "Open Doors 2002," the annual report on international education that is published by the Institute of International Education. The most recent meeting, and the last of the semester, was held in University Hall 449 on Monday Nov. 18 from 1-2 p.m. for a crowd of over a dozen. Fortuitously kicking off America's third annual International Education Week, a diverse group of students gathered at the meeting Dulce Dorado, CSUSM study to have their potential travel abroad advisor, approximates, appeal sowed into reality. that 100 CSUSM students per year attend an academic proSome attending students gram abroad.

Plus, like program duration and destination, price is highly variable and can range from tens of thousands of dollars to mere hundreds. Associate Director of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave this advice to potential study abroad candidates: "Students need to take responsibility for making sure that all the needed paperwork and processes are completed. in a timely manner. They need to plan ahead and be realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of financial aid that can be used and how much of their own resources are available and to make decisions based on all those components." Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior double majoring in Literature and Spanish, spent last summer studying and traveling in Spain. Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid" to help cover tuition costs, and so found herself with only the plane ticket and spending money as what she recalls were "the big things I had to worry about." Davis interprets the overall costs as fairly insignificant. She claims, "It doesn't cost that much more to study abroad for a year compared to living in San Diego and going to CSUSM for one year." If students missed the informational meetings this semester and are interested in what sorts of programs are available in international education, they can visit the global affairs office in Craven Hall 5211, or call their office at (760) 750-4090. However, one should prepare her/himself because, as students who have done it claim, s/he may launch "the experience of a lifetime." �T HE PRIDE NEWS Tuesday, December 3,2002 5 ^ a n a computer teach physics/ ^ "Computers - - don't A really know By M ARTHA S ARABIA L ead Editor can teach physics t o the audience, Oberem asked "And even if it could, would we want it t o?"

Programming Board, players at all. Friday Nov. 22nd marked the First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum Field in the Chavez Plaza. The competition, which was open for all clubs who wished to sign up, involved only four teams, consisting of: APSS (Asian Pacific Student Society), PAN (Progressive Activist Network), Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Chi Omega. The games were hosted and refereed by CSUSM student John Gehris and orga- For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of work and physical exhaustion. The rules of the game involve the two teams of five getting an unlimited number of throws, but the teammate with the frisbee can only hold the frisbee for 10 seconds at a time. If the frisbee is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides, and a player cannot run with the frisbee. A goal is scored when a catch is made in the end zone. The first match of the day involved APSS vs. PAN, where PAN came out with a devastating victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding factor in the match. The second match was a blowout, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi Omega's strong point certainly is not head to head frisbee, as they struggled to even put a single point on the board. With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their breath, the final match was underway. Jumping to an early lead in the final game, Sigma Alpha Epsilon went up early with a series of scores giving them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion of all great athletes and teams, PAN refused to give in. Really pulling themselves together, PAN jumped back into the game quickly scoring a remarkable 4 points in under 6 minutes. Even though it was a great attempt at a comeback, it just was not enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the first annual frisbee competition. Each member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team won five $20 cougar cards and a handsome 22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a small t urn out, the event seemed to be a success, and the audience enjoyed themselves.

Directed by Julie Taymor, Frida is the true story of the ever-tormented painter Frida Kahlo, played by Salma Hayek. From Kahlo's unfortunate accident in her youth to her most joyous days and a bittersweet departure, the movie depicts the life of one of Mexico's most talented,artists. The film chronicles Frida's turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego Rivera, played by Alfred Molina. Frida is a romantic's oasis.

(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. for its continuing "Take a Break Tuesday" events. For this month's entertainment, big glove boxing was available for students .on a break or walking to their next class who were willing to take punches from some giant boxing gloves. Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, CSUSM student John Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students to take their turn in the inflatable ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their shoes and wait in line to jump in the ring. The enormous inflated boxing ring was set right next to Academic Hall and offered many students who were walking by a chance to release some of the stress caused by their exams and research papers. The clear blue skies and warm weather brought many students outside to watch fellow students bounce around like Sugar Ray Leonard while throwing punches at each other. With music blaring and bullhorn calls summoning the next victims, the ASI team enthusiastically haggled students to hop in the ring and throw a few blows. Some students were seen tossing the giant gloves aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another. "Let's get our professors in the ring," a student yelled while being tossed to the other side of the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like how ASI brings f un to campus, it helps make being on campus all day a little more interesting." Approximately every third Tuesday of the month, ASI brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un, ASI featured a giant inflatable batting cage. "With activities like the big glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling, which is next month, we try to bring some f un to campus," said Cuevas. If students are curious about the details of the next event or where it will be held, they are encouraged to keep an eye on their e-mail and on Founder's Plaza for upcoming activities. �Sfedrina y los estudiantes de CSUSIVI Medicamento n atural que afecta al cerebro y al corazón Por ROSALLYN CELLE Y que la consumen tienen el riesgo de sufrir infartos y apoplejías.

Gerardo Gonzalez, director of the NLRC and CSUSM professor of psychology, said, "This is an excellent opportunity for the NLRC and Cal State San Marcos to strengthen partnerships in the San Diego and Imperial Valley regions." He added, "In collaboration with community coalitions and the California Endowment, we hope to contribute to the prevention of community-wide health problems, such as asthma in children." CAFA supports 12 community-based partnerships across California and is the second phase of The California Endowment's asthma programs.

Also, nearly 3 million Californians suffer from asthma symptoms. Asthma is a chronic disease that often begins in childhood and is the number one cause of disability, hospital admissions and school absenteeism among children. The overarching goal of the California Endowment's asthma initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. CAFA aims to reduce the environmental risk factors that trigger asthma, particularly in rural and urban areas with high rates of the disease. The California Endowment works with organizations and institutions that directly benefit the health and well-being of Californians. Their mission is to expand access to affordable, quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. As listed in its website, The California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation with approximately $3 billion in assets. Created in 1996 as a result of Blue Cross of California's creation of WellPoint Health Networks, a for-profit corporation, and since its inception, the endowment has awarded more than 3,400 grants totaling over $988,000,000 as of October 2002 According to the 2001 Cali- to community-based organizafornia Health Interview Survey, tions throughout California. asthma rates in California have �A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab... By JENNIFER JARRELL Pride Staff Writer For the past three semesters, I've been an avid user of the computers in the computer lab here at San Marcos. When I load "My Personal Settings," I've been saving the work I do in places like: My Documents, H: drive, and the desktop with no problems whatsoever. So when the- computer loads "My Personal Settings," I feel safe to save my work in places that are labeled "My Documents." Why else would it be labeled "My Documents" if I couldn't save work there? Well... one day about two weeks ago, I saved somei work to "My Documents," logged off the computer, and went to the Dome for lunch. When I returned, my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and searched for it everywhere oil the computer, but there were no traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't log off correctly, and someone else had accidentally erased it. So I went home to retype all my work (thank God I had written my essays by hand first on notebook paper). fluke, I typed another paper in the lab, but this time I was going to save it to my zip disk. When I looked in my bag for my disk, I realized that I had forgotten it at home. I saved my paper to the desktop (again, like I have been for three semesters now,) logged off the computer, and went to the student store to buy a new disk. When I came back to the lab and logged back on, my paper was GONE! I asked the lab people (student computer helpers) how this could've happened since I've been saving on the desktop all semester. One of the lab people told me that there was a new policy implemented where, as of two weeks ago, students cannot save on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work will be erased with no possibility of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask, "Why wouldn't the lab people put signs up EVERYWHERE letting students know about this "new thing?" Instead, I walked swiftly out of the lab and went straight home to redo my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had not pre-written my work in my notebook. in charge" of what goes on in the labs. Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional Computing labs, because these are public machines, we only allow students to save on their own space: the H: space, a ZIP diskette, or a floppy diskette. This has been our policy for the last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if we allowed the students to save to the C: drive." She continued to say, "I am sorry that there has been some misunderstanding about where you can save a file. Once you log off any machine, it reverts back to a standard "clean" slate for the next student. The ONLY safe place to save a file is the H: space, a floppy diskette, a ZIP diskette, or a CD." But that's not what Systems Integration Specialist William D. Craig told me. He stated, "Each student at CSUSM is allowed 50MB of storage space on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The only reason a student should run into a problem saving a file to the desktop or anywhere else on the h: drive is when the student is near or over his or her quota. In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be saved because the quota has been reached." He added helpfully, "If you lost a file that you had saved to your desktop, I'd really like to work with you to find out what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There may be an incorrect setting in your account profile. Please call or stop by at your convenience so we can look into this problemi" So what I want to know is, basically, where am I allowed to save my work? I feel that the second half of the semester is a bad time for students' work to be disappearing. I'm not thè only one this has happened to. There's been a buzz around campus that students have been losing their files in circumstances similar to mine. Because of this episode, I will be especially safe to make two copies of everything I do, and I guess I've learned that the hard way. But I still feel that It would be best for students to know what's going on before they feel safe to save files just anywhere on the computer. unless absolutely critical. We certainly do everything we can to minimize the risk t o students' data. If we did rn^ke a change regarding something that would impact most students, like making the desktop "off-limits," we would certainly do so in a way that would not result in the loss of files, and only after giving ample notice to the campus community beforehand." Mr. Craig told me that this whole incident was a glitch, and will be dealt with. I certainly .hope so, because this is the most critical point in the semester, and students should feel safe when using the computer lab. Since it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving files in the lab, I would just like to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true. Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I want to say that our department tries very hard to keep changes to the student environment to a minimum.

I am also currently serving the State of California as a National Guardsmen. I would like to take a moment to address Tristan Nickey for his misguided comments * in The Pride dated November 12, 2002. The point of Veteran's Day is to remember our soldiers that have proudly served and continue to serve our country. This does not mean we have to have a day off from school.

If we go back a little bit, in the past years, GEW instructors, many of whom are graduate students in the LTWR program, were allowed to park in the faculty lot, but they got their privileges revoked because they were easy targets for Parking Services to cut out of the picture: they were STUDENTS, but they were/are also exploited teachers. to read this book to understand what this man did for society.

Students who get here after 11 a.m. or students who leave before 4 p.m. anyway, are probably not the ones who are getting these atrocious tickets. It is understandable that, due to liability and safety concerns, it isn't safe for students' cars to be parked in an unlit lot after the sun has set. However, $100 per ticket?!? What a racket!

Ceremony Events Taylor spoke briefly about the origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WWI arid to pay tribute to the Unknown Soldier. In 1954, in order to honor all those whov served in American wars, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans' Day. Throughout the ceremony, two protestors sat off to one side. CSUSM student and army veteran Shawn Harris was protesting the ceremony and had upset some audience members, Harris was holding a sign that said, "rebuild America, not the military'^on one side and "read the foreign press" on the other side. When asked Harris said, "this university should not be allowed to become a forum to promote military activities." "This is a campus," he said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend classes at CSUSM and there are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.

Escondido Mayor Hosts MBA Alumni Dinner e rffized Energized event e rJinses clipses recent scandal By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The MBA Chapter of the CSUSM Alumni Association held a dinner Nov. 6, featuring speeches by former Congressman Ron Packard and Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler, who is herself a CSUSM MBA program alumnus. The dinner was the first event to be staged by what the association's Director of Events, George Overman, described as the "revitalized" MBA alumni association. The MBA chapter of the association is a separate sec- tion within the broader CSTTSM Mativ of the alumni pointed out SUSM tion any n Alumni Association. that press coverage was especially important in lieu of recent Overman explained that the negative press the CSUSM MBA previous attempt at an MBA program has received, regarding alumni association had fallen to an unauthorized commingling inertia and disinterest until it was of state and private funds in the revamped with the institution of program's management. new by-laws and committees in late 2001. More importantly, Alumni reactions about their the association is now geared association towards staging events and actively seeking recognition for Overman said that the alumni the association and the MBA association was "working hard program. to get new members for both the MBA alumni association and Overman's use of the power the MBA students association" word "revitalized" proved to be and this event was intended as a very appropriate, as vitality and first step in gaining recognition enthusiasm seemed to be the for the association. According unspoken themes of this event. to Overman, the association has o ™oi oil« a goal of eventually staging one event per month. After saying that the MBA chapter of the Alumni Association "allowed alumni to stay in touch with each other and Cal State San Marcos", Heather Manley, CSUSM's Director of Alumni Relations explained that CSUSM's MBA program produced itsfirstgraduate in 1996 and has been growing ever since. Manley further said that CSUSM's undergraduate business program has the largest enrollment of any program on campus and that these factors bode well for the future of both CSUSM's MBA program and the corresponding alumni associa- tion. President Ken Green, who was also the founding member of CSUSM's MBA Students Association, spoke earnestly about the goals of the alumni association. These goals included "serving as a conduit between MBA alumni and the university, and facilitating career growth for the alumni" Green, like all the association's officers, eagerly emphasized the association's desire to recruit new members. Vice-President Brick Longford said "We would like to get current MBA program students involved in the MBA student's association in anticipation of See MBA, page 2 �Free H igher E ducation Free higher education modeled after the G.I. Bill higher education. ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every resident should have access to higher education with out financial constraint...It's a basic social right." On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of political science at New School University and award winner of the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of a call to action that could provide no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the Labor Party at the Labor Party Convention and Conference in Washington, DC in July 2002. Spring 2003 enrollment opened this November, and large student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A college degree can offer stability by securing more choices. Government education statistics prove that higher education gives people a chance to build a better life for themselves^ Therefore by following the Labor Party's guidelines, higher education at no-cost greatly increases social opportunities. CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in his attempts to spark enthusiasm for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues on "Free Higher Education." He wants students, faculty, and the community to gain an increased awareness of the need for no-cost mere pennies at over $23 billion compared to the massive annual federal budget. Allocation of government funds, without the increase of taxes, allows the government to divert corporate tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary institutions. Dr. Reed implied that the free tuition policy covers two percent of the annual federal budget and is easily incorporated into the trillions of dollars going to corporations, airline bailouts, and government spending. As a staunch supporter of the Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of the imperativeness for residents to access higher education while revitalizing public institutions with marginal, implemental costs. "Free higher education doesn't cost a lot of money and The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your Higher Education" assessed a buck!" proclaimed Dr. Reed. higher economic return leading to increased skills and income Within the statement of the gains. Nominal cost of tuition Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute could be consolidated into the (DJDI), the design for free higher government's largefiscalbudget. education starts with a plan modThe total cost of tuition, as eled by the United States G.I. explained by Dr. Reed, remains Bill. The G.I. Bill supported v eterans w ith full tuition. The DJDI quoted, "...report also found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national output due to extra education and increased Federal tax revenues for the extra income the beneficiaries earned." The free tuition campaign applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill, also known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. After World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed veterans coming back from the war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration (VA) said that this bill has had more impact on the American way of life than any law. The VA also said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill in order to motivate a desire to "spare the veteran and the nation the economic hardships that accompanied the return." The free higher education campaign is similar to the G.I. Bill because it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense. Free higher education allocates funds to the larger population rather than small segment. Free higher education provides access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a higher level of education offered. The campaign stresses people taking local initiative to build solidarity for success through word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a system for social reform of the polarization of higher education. By slowly building relationships with action, a diverse activism is created by revealing the need to depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed. To close the campaign, Dr. Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York, implored, "Nothing is more effective than building personal relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you say.. .share the vision."

A c hance forworthy f aciütyan^ By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Academic excellence in the area of teaching is something hopefully strived for by all professors and instructors and is a task definitely worthy of reward and praise. Because of this, all California State Universities reward their outstanding faculty with the Wang Award. The Wang (pronounced wong) award was estab- lished in the fall of 1998 when Trustee Stanley T. Wang gave the CSU system $1 million to reward outstanding faculty and administrators. The award is designed to celebrate those CSU faculty and administrators who through extraordinary commitment and dedication have distinguished themselves by exemplary contributions and achievements in their academic disciplines and areas of assignment. campus may nominate one faculty member from each of the following four categories: visual and performing arts and letters; natural sciences, mathematical and computer sciences and engineering; social and behavioral sciences and public services; and education and the professional and applied science fields. mwoolf@csusm.edu.

This is the chance for students to recognize faculty and staff for their Local School District Searching for Mentors Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor To be a mentor is to have an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of academic help. Joan Helms, associate under the Wellness Department within the Poway Unified School District, along with the Poway Unified School District itself, will argue for more mentors, in order to positively impact their students as much as possible. They are looking for college students to be the mentors for their students. General Colin L. Powell (Ret.), Chairman of America's Promise and Secretary of State, talks about "Commitment makers," which are some individuals or organizations trying to make a difference by pledging their time, treasures, and resources towards helping our youth, is referencing, through Helm's interpretation, the role that mentors plays in the education process. Mentors are "commitment makers," says Helms. They pledge their time, treasures, being their education, and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth succeed in school. Helms is offering college students who can spend an hour every week throughout the remainder of the school year a chance to be "commitment makers." Mentoring is a positive process that allows the mentors, as well as their protégés, a chance to gain from their experience together. Helms commented, "Over 98 percent of mentored students said they have benefitedfromthe program by increased academic achievement, improved self- confidence, increased attendance at school, improved attitudes and improved self-control. In addition, mentors are sometimes credited with helping students to stay away from drugs and alcohol." ThisBoIkiay G i v e U m 'GIff ¿ Î T i m e pipi s farli "s The overwhelming statistics •g m discussed by Helms, which are acquired from the Poway Unified BviiMmmi *. - \ School District, provides that Poway Unified School District mentoring aids students academiMentoring frogram Office cally, socially, and mentally, and 85*748-0010 e st 2719 also shows that mentors present a positive role model for the levels of education, the district students. needs college mentors to not The Poway Unified School only help with academics, but District wants college students also to be a positive role model to be mentors to other students and friend for their students.

This American tradition is filled with family, pictures, memories, prayers, gratitude, and hope. Holiday spirit fills the air as we all long to make precious memories that will stay with us for our entire lives. Christmas is right around the corner and the New Year is following close in second. But everything starts with a lavish spread of Thanksgiving food including: mashed potatoes, yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we eat dessert. Dessert ia the final food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it special and try out this recipe for "Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My mother discovered this recipe years ago on a Bisquick box. It has become a cherished favorite of our family for years and it can be yours, too. Many people enjoy the holiday rich foods, but also worry about the pounds it tends to add. With this recipe, you can enjoy the food and your trim body all at the same time. Just follow these simple instructions and be prepared to take a savory bite launching you into the holiday spirit. 1ngredients: 7) Bake at 350 degrees for 5055 minutes. 3 A cups sugar, 54 cup Bisquick, 8) Can be served with whipped 2 Tablespoons butter, 2 Vz cream. teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.), 13 oz Are you ready to fly into the can evaporated milk, 2 eggs, 16 holidays with ease?

That makes the pie not only less filling, but also lower in fat than a typical pumpkin pie. You know what that means, ladies? No more post holiday starving and binge workouts! My mother comments: "You will not believe how simple it is to make this pumpkin pie. It is less costly, lower in fat, and most importantly, it tastes great." Take my mother's advice and try out this recipe. You will not regret it and neither will your waist line. Happy holidays and enjoy our family's piece of pie. A Tastey Appetizer: Artichoke Heart Dip By MELISSA BUTTRELL For The Pride As everyone knows, Thanksgiving is a time to spend with your family but it is also a time for food. Everyone always stresses over what they are going to make for Thanksgiving dinner, but this is the trick. Here is a recipe for an appetizer to start your day off right. It is for Artichoke Heart Dip; it is simple and tastes great. And no one has all the time in the world to cook so this is good for everyone. But before you can start you will first need to get some ingredients from the store. 2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup mayonnaise After you # have collected all your ingredients you are ready to begin. The first thing you will need to do is set your oven to 350 degrees. Drain and chop all artichoke hearts. Then put all your ingredients in a 9" by 13" glass pan and mix. Bake at 350 degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow it to cool. Do not forget to turn your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are taking it on the road or to a house nearby, store it in something that will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will work just fine. Your guests will be so impressed by the dish that they will think you slaved over the stove for hours, but I guess what they don't know won't kill them. Andrew's Apple Pumpkin Pie By ANDREW BEHNEMAN Vox The Pride The Best of Both Worlds here we are, the holiday season is on its way whether we like it or not. Thanksgiving is going to be here in aflashand then Christmas will be here before we know it. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves with the joy of Christmas let's not skip over all the incredible food that comes along with Thanksgiving. The aroma of the turkey is overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed potatoes sit heaped up in bowls on the table filled with cranberry sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie of some sort. The most popular pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into one pie? Well, we are going to do just that, and for all you cheap in Valley Center that makes the skates out there, we won't spend spread.

It also goes well over oatmeal. My personal favorite is to pour it over a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream. �Get 2 FREE music C Ds and a $ 25 Bill Credit! J fepm togejfter.-^ Rock fogtìrtier.

Each competitor was given 45 seconds to prove him or herself as the most clever and wittiest rapper. Curtis Hansen, the genius behind the critically acclaimed LA Confidential, directed this film. Last Friday, Nov. 9, the controversial rapper, Eminem debuted in hisfirstcinematic role. Marshall Mathers plays Jimmy, a young white rapper living on "the other side" of 8 Mile in Chicago. 8 Mile is a reference Kim Basinger portrayed to a street that divides the social Rabbit's mom who lived in a classes in the city. "Rabbit," as trailer home with her daughter Jimmy is more casually called, and a man that Rabbit happened to go to the same high school with. Rabbit's mom takes him "I found it hard to get past back into her home after he and my own adoration and lust his girlfriend break up. However, her character is not emotionally for the star, Eminem" stable and finds means to shoot herself and Rabbit down. Mekhi and his friends, a group of young black men, frequent a particular Pfiefer plays Proof who is club in the less upscale area of Rabbit's closest confidant and town offering "battles," rapping Master of Ceremonies (MC) of competitions between two these battles. Another known people. The objective is to rap name would be Britney Murphey more eloquently than the other who plays Rabbit's love interest by means of mocking the other's Alex throughout the film. Although she is a background character, her role is essential in that she encourages Rabbit to go for his dreams and offers her beliefs that he has all the skill and talent to make those dreams a possibility. The audience later learns Alex has dreams of her own and does whatever she feels necessary to open a door to these dreams. Basinger, Pfiefer and Murphey offer solid co-star performances that complement the talent offered by Eminem. Personally, I thought the transition Eminem makes from a white rapper that many people hate, love or love to hate was smooth and honest He offers a character that struggles to get by working somewhere he would rather not be just to make ends meet, but also struggled with his own insecurities about whether or not he is good enough to make it in the competitive world of the music industry. Thisfilmdisplays inner conflict, conflict between enemies of the underground rap scene, and triumphs within personal relationships. this film and the fact that both the film and the soundtrack were number one on the charts this past weekend. I think the movie is over acclaimed by critics and I honestly have to assess that I would give the film anywhere from two-and-a-half stars to three stars for its attempts to meet the requirements of a satisfactory and complete film.

For fact, some of the later scenes those who have seen What Lies of the film are comical and not Beneath or The Others, a similar fitted for the die-hard scary eerie effect awaits viewers in movie fans of America. Origi- The Ring Plainly stating, the plot of the film alone is strange enough make you lean back in your chair and hug your stomach. Even after watching the American release, it was still interesting to see the differences in the original. The Japanese version uses much more spiritual and religious imagery than its renewal. Variant plot elements and an infusion of Japanese culture redeem the lack of horror accumulated in the original. Now you ask, is the original subtitled? Yes, and it does not distract the reader enough to make the movie unlikable. So yes, it is worth a look if you don't plan on being scared. If the opposite is true, you might want to check out The Ring showing in a theater near you. NYC Shows LA What Real Music Is About By STEVE BEGIN Vox The Pride In 1976 my parents were part of a sold-out crowd at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to see the legendary Neil Diamond. Over two decades later, an entirely different crowd would be there two see an altogether different phenomenon. On Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002,1 was part of a sold out crowd at the Greek, but I wasn't there to see Neil. I was there to see one of rock-n-rolls most talked about bands - the Strokes 7- Julian, Albert, Nick, Nikolai, and Fab.

A +Subs tíña 's deli Las dos semanas que estuve en México de vacaciones llame casi todos los días a las oficinas de Aerocálifornia para saber la situación de mi equipaje, pero siempre era la misma respuesta "todavía la estamos buscando porque no la hemos encontrado." Mi maleta desapareció de la faz de la tierra en el aeropuerto de Tijuana y hasta la fecha, 5 meses después, no ha aparecido y dudo mucho que vaya a aparecer. Me quedé sin maleta y con una gran decepción para querer volver a México con esta aerolínea. Pero dicha aerolínea se quedo sin 4 fieles pasajeros y con muchos trabajadores ineptos que laboran en ella.

Si viajan por Aerocalifornia o por cualquier otra aerolínea, tengan mucho cuidado por que desgraciadamente esto les puede pasar a ustedes también/Y debido a tanta burocracia en México y a la falta de justicia, es imposible hacer algo para evitar que esto siga sucediendo. Así que extrememos nuestras precauciones al viajar con este tipo de aerolíneas irresponsables. Espero que este comentario les sirva de algo cuando salgan de vacaciones en estas épocas festivas.

These are just a few of some viewer's reactions likely to be generated by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in Rock Video. The effects of viewing this 55 -minute film are far-reaching and long lasting. Dreamworlds, a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to be the most disturbing film you have ever seen. MTV actually threatened to sue the producer and narrator of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter was sent to Jhally ordering him to 'cease and desist' promoting and using the video. In a crafty altercation, Jhally was able to frame the matter such that MTV received bad press on the issue, and so immediately ceased all pressure from MTV. (You know you're doing something right ALLENDE de la página 10 varios de los asistentes. .El evento que anunció la librería Martínez con mucho más de dos meses de anticipación, estaba programado para las 7 p.m., sin embargo, sin previo aviso y sólo porque la escritora se presentó mucho más temprano, a las 6 p.m., se dio inicio al tal sin siquiera tomar en cuenta al público que llegaría a la hora establecida.

Martínez se preocupó por motivar a la gente que estaba formada a que compraran los libros de la escritora, diciéndoles, "gracias por venir y por comprar los libros, la línea va a avanzar rápido porque nosotros ya sabemos como hacerlo." Esto sólo me hace pensar que Martínez planeó todo junto con la escritora para que soíamente se realizaran las ventas.

The college did recognize Veteran's Day. The Veteran's Club and ASI sponsored an event outside the Dome. The Marine Band was here playing wonderful patriotic music. They also had the color guard and presentations for the oldest and youngest Marines that attend CSUSM. The club served cake, punch and water. Because of the Veteran's Club and ASI, I was able to observe Veteran's Day, especially when they handed out small American flags we could wave. After the Marines were done performing, I was able to meet and speak to some of thè Marines that attend our campus. So you cannot say CSUSM did not observe the holiday, the tears in my eyes say yes and thank you.

The A ctualj work should be in the form of an a ttachment. The attachment should include the work's title but not the student's name, that way the judging will be fair. and beyond. Emerging Leaders is aimed at first year students to take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple to join, sign up at orientation and show up at the first class. The class is voluntary and will hopefully be offered for credits in years to come. It consists of meeting one night a week for two hours and a weekly typed journal on a suggested topic. Poullard refers to this years group as the "dynamic dozen" and feels that "it is at the GORE of what they do in Student Affairs which is to 'empower students and to help them find their own voice. The program offers unique opportunities such as having a student/professor panel come and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions like Jonathan Kozol's before his informative lecture at the California Center for the Arts of Escondido, and serving as a "base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When talking with the group members about what ELP is, Colleen Lee quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great leadership skills in freshmen. It helps us to learn who we are an^ how effective we can be as leaders." In addition to learning leadership skills, Caroline Rizk makes the point that "ELP is a way f or freshmen to get involved and build new friendships but it is also a means of discovering who we are and how the way we believe affects the way we live," Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students challenge each other in a highly supportive class that culminates with students developing their own Leadership Action Plan." People must be congruent with themselves before they can lead others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life situations. The students involved will be much more aware of who they are and what they believe in by the time this class is over. "Most importantly though, the ELP is about helping students learn how they lead, and about assisting students in making positive s ociar change within their community," said Poullard. These youiig adults have had much experience on the basics of how to become a leader. The next step is to take action and make a difference on campus such as Orientation Team as many of these young leaders have applied and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given the opportunity to meet other freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting others with the same interests. The advantage of having a small group is that everyone knows each other by name, Stephanie Gaul jokingly added that "it's group therapy, when you need it" because there is mutual trust and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and learn about different leadership roles on campus. Although it is fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program is definitely an invaluable vehicle to obtain my future goals and endeavors. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone." This group appears close-knit and is "the beginning to a great circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of respect and love for people. It has strengthened my morals and self-realization," said Tiffany To.

Coffman is the founder and CEO of Intelligent Nutrition. She was not always the successful entrepreneur that she is today, however it was clear that fitness has played a huge roll in her career development. Not only is Coffman a bodybuilding champion and a former manager of the Gold's Gym Nutritionalysis Program, but she is also a graduate of Northwestern Instructor Training in anatomy. She took first place in many national bodybuilding events, including the 1998 Los Angeles Bodybuilding Championship, the 1996 Vancouver Natural Bodybuilding Championship, and first place and best poser in the 1996 Ft.

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Sergeant Robert Lewis of the San Diego Police Department gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m. last Thursday in Academic Hall, room 402. Lewis, who has been on the force for 17 years, is the department's expert on racial profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to Chief of Police David Bejarano. According to Lewis and the SDPD, "Any officer who targets a citizen based solely on their race and for no other reason, that officer is guilty of racial profiling." Even during a time in this nation's history when people have seen a dramatic reduction in crime in virtually every major city in America over the last 10 years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable hotbed of controversy. What makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is almost impossible to prove that a person has been a victim of racial profiling, but that it is, at times, even more difficult to discern whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the first place. From Jan. to Dec. 2000, the SDPD participated in a "vehicle stop study" in order to provide the community with a comprehensive view of vehicle stops conducted by its officers. According to Lewis, the desired outcome of this study was to help the police and the surrounding communities achieve a better understanding of police practices and to ensure fairness. The SDPD believes that by instituting the study, they can allay public perception of racial profiling by officers, strengthen police/community partnership, and retain trust and credibility with citizens. The department was also confident that the results of the data would prove that they honor their claim that they do not practice racial profiling. . Contrary to department claims, the results of the study showed that Hispanics and African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of the population in San Diego, but they represented 29 percent of all vehicle stops. Similarly, African Americans represent 8 percent of the population of San Diego, but they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack. First, they vehicle stops in 2000. intend to participate in more in-depth analyses to clarify and Furthermore, the study shows explain apparent patterns in that once stopped, Hispanics and the vehicle stop data.

Lamond spent nearly as much time illuminating Scottish-Gaelic history and her interest in the language as she did actually performing songs. The combination of historical background arili inspiring songs created a synergism that worked quite well. oppression. Later songs' grafted lyrics deal with the experiences of Scottish immigrants in Nova Scotia onto traditional melodies and arrangements brought from Scotland. Lamond depicted the violent expulsion of many Scots from Scotland in 1850 and their struggles to live in the harsh environment of Nova Scotia. These struggles provided the material for another class of ScottishGaelic folk song, the immigrant's lament.

Information Lamond also performed songs about Lamond and her music can accompanied by Cathy Porter be found on her website at playing piano, and Wendy Macisaac playing violin and piano. These ensembles tended to be much livelier tunes and Lamond encouraged the audience to freely engage in clapping and foot tapping. Macisaac performed several lively solo songs on her violin as well. Many of these songs had an aspect of familiarity about them, probably due to the influence of Scottish and Irish folk music on America's own folk music tradition. The show ended on a spirited note with Lamond teaching the audience to sing the chorus on one song and Macisaac doing a traditional Scottish Gaelic dance while Lamond and Porter per- « 'iCl* c c i a i a ip Ci <£ofUf4 Vauqu mm f vi Live healthy, live happy.

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Fran de Leon performed in the play Faces of America Friday, October 25, at Miramar College in San Diego. The unorthodox one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and racial and ethnic stereotypes in the United States. Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the script based on interviews with approximately 100 individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition t a de Leon, four other actors perform the show at alternate times as it tours the country. De Leon gave an amazing performance, portraying seven different characters from seven different racial/ethnic groups during the one-hour show. Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various idioms, and superficial costume changes de Leon presented the audience with seven vivid char- acters and seven different angles on race relations in the United States. Co-producer Cox's script is bursting with nuance and insightfulness. The characters dialogue captures their feelings and internal thought processes with a precision and economy that is startling, and de Leon executes the script so effortlessly that the show appears almost improvised. generation American. Along the same lines, a PhilippineAmerican doctor recounts her experiences with the tenacious assumption that as a female of Philippine ancestry she must be a nurse. Significantly, many of the characters are of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds and their struggles to come up with precise linear definitions of their race and ethnicity provides both an element of humor and a key to The structure of Faces of one of the themes of the show.

An African-American man who has earned a PhD and achieved economic prosperity reflects that, in spite of his hard work, many Caucasians assume that he has stolen his BMW and is using his cell phone to conduct drug deals. The message of the show is built into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and strain at identifying themselves along racial or ethnic lines. This situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race and ethnicity is intrinsically racist and unworkable. Modern changes in demographics will ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable tide of travel, immigration, and intermarriage will sweep away the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian woman can so deftly portray people from several different racial and ethnic groups is a credit to Fran de Leon's acting ability; however, it is also and indication of how superficial the perceived differences between these groups really are. Some of the characters in Faces of America dwell on their disadvantages almost to the point of becoming caricatures. The melancholic descriptions they give of their wounded lives border on masochism. Yet, this overstatement is not merely an incidental flaw in the show. By taking stereotypes to the breaking point of credibility the show damages the validity of those Faces of America receives its same stereotypes. funding from the colleges and other organizations who sponsor Faces of America works its performance for their students because it shows rather than tells and other members. the audience the inaccuracy and futility of racial stereotyping. �Treasure Today, Trash Tomorrow the design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age." Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island. By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure. This is definitely true when it comes to environmental artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is the only artist in residence at the New York City Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. About 100 people showed up last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for Ukeles' fascinating presentation on Maintenance Art. She began with her work in the 1970s, where she struggled to make known to the public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to sanitation workers. One of Ukeles' earliest works involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point of view was that these security guards are in effect gatekeepers; they decide who gets in and who gets locked out. To prove her point to the public, she took over an art museum by selectively locking the doors, entrances, and exits to the different exhibits and the building itself. This re-enactment, on her part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers. Autumn in New York Perhaps one of the best-known displays of her artistry began on Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast college campus. The exhibit was broken up into three installments as she took on the duties of a lawn maintenance worker. As this performance took place during autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death of leaves occurred all around throughout the display on the lawn. Her first challenge was to rake and keep clear a perfect rectangle on the lawn, without allowing a leaf to fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the lawn that would be saved from the suffocation by falling and dying leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long sanitary napkin for the 100- year old tree, which she metaphorically saw as being on its period. appreciation. California in a Jar In California, Ukeles is known for her work in providing closure for Los Angeles area residents after the riots of 1992. Since the riots involved so much fire and rage, Ukeles worked with the sanitation department to set up an exhibit of unburnings. People were invited to create unburnings in glass jars. Although, they were never told what an unburning was to look like, it was very much a process art in which the creation of the piece allowed for each person to release emotions brought on by the riots After the giant sanitary napkin and put them in a jar. was built at the base of the tree, she read aloud to the passing people, One high school boy built a small "O Tree, you are having your bed within his unburning jar, his period, everyone is saying how point being that now everyone in beautiful it is." the world can have a bed to dream in, even if it is only within a jar.

Her work with the New York sanitation department allowed more freedom for its employees.

The design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age that tell the time and the health of the air, the earth, and the water. They will be utterly ambitious - our public cathedrals. For if we are to survive, they will be our symbols for survival." After her presentation, she allowed for questions from the audience and offered advice to students. "Pile all of your dreams into here and mangle the boundaries while you are at it! As Chavez is a symbol for this university, this is the university of a chance for everyone. And if you believe in what you are doing, hang in there. When you get turned down, you keep trying because the jury will be different next time and they may love you. You keep going until they realize that you aren't going to leave," urged Ukeles. She ended her discussion with a photo of a gas field in the Fresh Kills Landfill, the final resting place of the World Trade Center that was destroyed nearly a year ago; making the truth well-known, what is considered a treasure today, may be considered trash tomorrow. Ukeles dedicated her presentation to her father, Rabbi Laderman of Denver, Co., as her presentation took place on the anniversary of his death. �ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical the Musical toasts an acid trip specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the sweet, seduction of childhood innocence. The loosely based, Seussical the Musical offered the message Dr. Seuss conveys in his books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political injustices and the simple fairness of treating people the way you want to be treated, if not better. The musical, conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery and Eric Idle, opened with an interpretation of people's situations and how these situations in turn affect other people. Seussical the Musical opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an audience of whimsical children and adults alike. Magic filled the air as the curtain opened to past gymnast and actress, Cathy Rigby, as "the Cat in the Hat." Children stood mesmerized by the multitude of colors and the rhythm and rhyme of the musical. Seussical the Musical told a tale of simplicity.

It was raining last Saturday, the dirt bike trip was cancelled and the suggestion of wanting to go to a movie seemed appropriate. We went to the movie Ghost Ship, which was okay but definitely not as scary as Stephen King would have made it, but before leaving the theatre came the question, "Want to try and sneak into Jackass: The MovieV' I had no intention of paying to see this movie but the idea of sneaking in sounded like a good proposal. Please acknowledge that I am not suggesting anyone should sneak in. The problem is I am in my forties and so is my date and the idea of sneaking into movies should have ended a long time ago. We headed down the hall to the other side of the theatre and there was a manager checking tickets outside the entrance! I had never seen this before. The movie was sold out and there were kids under age trying to sneak in. "Can I help you, folks?" he asked politely. "Uhh, theatre 8?" "Down the other side of the theatre?" he says. "Thanks!" we say politely back and head back the other way. Darn are plans has been smashed. We decide to try for Barber Shop but we had to wait till the theatre was cleaned.

While waiting in line my date scoped out the situation. I noticed that we were not the only individuals trying to sneak into the movie. There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their twenties walking through the hallways saying, "Well, which movie do you want to go to then?" While waiting in line for the coke, my date said, "Okay he's moving away from the door, he's coming this way. Are you ready? Come on, come on, lets go!" We briskly start walking avoiding eye contact as we pass by the manager. Soon as we passed the manager we brpke into a full-blown sprint, at exactly the same time, two adolescent kids jump off the bench and break out into a run in front of us.

Although the depth of the entire team has thickened, in comparison to their first season the new depth does not seem to be immediately paying off in their end results. Volunteer coach, Amber Puha, attributes these struggles to a lack of improvement from last season and levels of misfortune. In each of the past two events, there have been three out of six players that have advanced out of round one. Newcomer Grayson Adams was the sole survivor in round three at a Ventura event: The special teams unit seemed to be the teams' survival guide for these past two events. Longboarder Dustin Franks took one win at the first event in Ventura and a second place at event two, held at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3. Bodyboarder George Demarino and women shortboarder each helped keep the team afloat by clinching points and earning a second and fifth place at Blacks upon rebounding from the rough spots in the first few rounds. in thefinalround. In comparison to last years Ponto event held in Carlsbad, the team is down from 74 points with 6 out of 9 competitors and a sixth place finish. In Huntington last year, the team had scored 68 points with a 7th place finish gained by its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha also recognizes the improvement by returning players, especially The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU at Blacks and earned a 10th place and USD. The question now remains a matter of how the CSUSM team will respond to this increased talent pool. They have two or more events remaining, not including state championships that will be their final chances to qualify them for nationals and to also prove themselves worthy of a shot at the national title.

By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor California State University San Marcos won the men's cross country competition and the women's team came in as the runners-up at the Titan Invitational at Carbon Canyon Park in Brea on Friday Oct. 25th. The Cougar men were led by sophomore Rene Reyes, who dominated the men's individual 8K race with his first place finish. The CSUSM women were once again paced by the fabulous frosh, Anne Marie Byrne, who finished seventh in the women's 5K. The CSUSM men's team won the team championship with 24 points, ahead of second-place UCLA. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) ranked the men's team 4th nationwide. There were 76 runners and seven teams who participated in the tournament. "Overall, the whole group ran personal best times for the season. The course was prettyflat,but the grass was pretty mushy and slippery, which made it a bit difficult to run in," described Camille Wilborn, a CSUSM senior from Rancho Buena Vista High School in Oceanside. Reyes finished first overall with impressive time of 25: 36.1. Junior Robby McClendon improved his personal best by about 28 seconds with his third place time of 25:56.6. "I am hoping to PR (personal record) at regionals by at least another 20 seconds," McClendon, a business major out of Truckee, CA, insisted. He was followed by fifth place runner, junior Mike Shannon who earned a new personal record time of 26:03.7. Senior Brian Sullivan came in with a sixth place finish and time of 26:08.7.

This will allow them to be well-rested and to have fresh, strong legs when it matters most. "We run about 75 miles per week, but will soon be cutting it down to 40. We will pretty much be peaking for nationals," McClendon explained. The NAIA Regionals took place Saturday, November 9th, at Woodward Park in Fresno.

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer . In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking, and despite the temporary lot, parking is still a major issue at CSUSM. Even if you decide that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other spaces, your car must be moved prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought of this brilliant plan was just a genius, because you know, here at CSUSM we only hold classes until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong! Some people attend class from 9am until 7pm, so this means that students have-to take their breaks, assuming they have one long enough to walk to the lot and try to find another parking space in a paved lot. Plus, did this genius think of what is going to happen to the dirt parking lot when it starts raining? What about that dirt walkway on the slope to get out of the lot? As we enter our wettest time of the year, this may be something that the administration should have considered. then quickly gathered back up to make it impossible to drive down the row. They rudely shouted at passing cars that "this row is closed" and "no parking here." I decided that they were wrong; this was a parking lot, not a workout facility and I pulled into As if it weren't bad enough the spot despite their actions to that there are more cars than try keeping me out of it. suitable parking spaces as it is, the Cross Country team decided When I exited my vehicle, to hold their morning stretch in I inquired the team, coach the parking lot during rush hour included, as to why they were oh campus.

Then another After stalking my prey for member replied that the field parking, he told me that he was was in use by a physical educaparked right where the team tion class and thus they were was blocking his spot. They unable to stretch there. allowed for him to pull out but I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for me, but also for the numerous vehicles stuck in the traffic jam caused by the obnoxious bunch. As I walked down to the field, I saw not a single person on the field or track, meaning no class was there at all. In response to their lie, I speculated that the cause for the Cross Country team's takeover in the parking lot was not due to a crowded field, which let's face it wouldn't be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the fact that the grass was cold and wet that morning and they didn't H opf want to get their shorts wet. Unfortunately, I think this is a horrible excuse for causing an early morning traffic jam, and I believe that disciplinary action should have been taken. Rather than an apology from the team, I received a sarcastic note on my windshield when I returned from class. The note stated, "Hope you have a better day." In response to the note, I would like to say on behalf of the student population, get out of our parking spaces and go where you belong and we would all have a much better day! y 0 u WAye A P.ETT ETL DAY . �Rock Your Own Vote Don't get me wrong.

Tristan Nickey The Pride / Photographer Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer V * Do you hear the cries of the coyotes as you leave your last class of the night? Or do you see them in the morning as they scatter across Twin Oaks? These top predators that dominate the coastal sage shrub and the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed from their natural habitats due to fragmentation. The urban development rips free spaces from natural inhabitants like the coyote and other creatures. The recent real estate boom has put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like the coyote are driven closer to suburbia. Many domestic cats and dogs are found missing and yes it is possible that a coyote is responsible. But do you blame them? Not only are they affected by fragmentation but also so are many other animals like skunks, . squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like reptiles suffer, too. Governing predators like the coyote, who dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline in one species and the incline in another or vice-a-versa. Are humans so selfish that they have no regard for nature?

T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 w ww.csusm.edu/pride/ VOL.X NO.X CSUSM Celebrates Eighth Día de los actor, Pedro Infante. The altar was beautifully decorated with a guitar, tequila bottle, and "pan de muerto," or bread of the dead, which is used ceremonially. It is believed that biting into skullshaped candy hidden inside the bread will bring good luck. Upon being asked which one of the team members slaved over a hot oven and baked the "pan de muerto," humanities student Efrain Carrillo replied, "One of the guys in the group bought it." By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer In the Americas about 3,000 years ago, many indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs, celebrated the dead by having month-long festivities in the hopes that the dead would return and pay them a short visit. For CSUSM that day was last Tuesday at Palm Court with the main celebration from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although the sacrificing of virgins did not take place, celebrations took place with Veracruzan music, courtesy of the band "Suaveson," and the setting up of altars in honor of great people from the past. Although many students forced into volunteering time by a requirement of humanities classes, many were their their also Cathy Nguyen, Student Health Services Health Educator, along with Cathy Gremett, Student Health Services Medical Receptionist, and Tim Bills, Assistant Altars are erected on Dia de los Muertos in remembrance of Dean of Students, built an alter the dead.

As of today there are 2,947 people confirmed dead, 27 reported dead, and 25 reported missing, which brings the total to 2,999 people." Their alter displayed a model of the twin towers, a fireman's cap, and a binder which had a list, consisting of many pages, of the victims. Although the majority of people in today's society mourns death and sees it as a bad thing, the Aztecs saw it as part of life and it was celebrated. The Day of the Dead, which is one of the longest celebrated rituals in the Americas, was originally celebrated at the end of July and beginning of August by the Aztecs and other MesoAmerican civilizations between 500 and 3,000 years ago.

Gonzalez said the problems were, "a collective action over time, but eventually the buck has to stop somewhere. Since I'm president it stops in my office." The problems were first made public in a Chancellor's Office audit this past July. The chancellor's audit charged that by combining state and private funds the CSUSM MBA program was in violation of CSU policy. According to Gonzalez, "the institution has to shoulder some responsibility for inadequate management" and "while there were procedures and practices that were violated by faculty and by administrators, it was an administrative error that allowed the program to develop as it did." In response to the chancellor's audit findings, Gonzalez appointed an internal investigation committee to investigate the audit's charges and to report back to him with their recommendations. The committee members were: Marion Reid (Chair), Jacqueline Borin, Silverio Haro, Bud Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. silliness." limit the autonomy of the college, who failed to exercise adequate but we feel that it is warranted in oversight no longer hold their administrative post or have left The committee reported that the current situation." the university." they agreed with the audit's recommendations and that "[they Gonzalez said that the breakwere] pleased with the character down in the program's system of In same North County Times of the University's responses checks and balances happened on article, Jack Leu, an MBA proto date."

By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest for its students last Thursday in Founder's Plaza from 12: 00-1:00 p.m. "For most of the students, this will be their first time celebrating Halloween in the United States," said ALCI Student Services Coordinator Dulce Dorado.

This meeting took place on Thursday, Oct. 27th at 6:30 p.m. Larry Olsen, Event Coordinator of the Friends, offered his knowledge on overdevelopment of the ridgeline. Dr. Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, Cal State San Marcos' Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, spoke of her expertise in sustain^ able development. Incumbents and their opposition voiced campaign promises about visions of the future of San Marcos, and people of San Marcos came together in order to voice their opinions concerning matters of development. Olsen began the meeting with the agenda of opening remarks about the future of the ridgeline above Cal State San Marcos. The concerns expressed an emphatic urgency to curb the destruction of a natural piece of the community environment. The goals of the Friends is to establish awareness about decisive planning , issues, as well as to implement and increase natural areas for the community of San Marcos and to expand unity within a structurally developing community. Another goal is to establish a community that promotes healthy, sustainable growth, while maintaining a strong economy that contributes to an enjoyable "livability" in San Marcos, The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas understand the complexities about the smart growth of a community. Olsen expressed that smart growth is vital to the overall development of a growing city. He also implied that fast growth would endanger the native habitat of ridgeline. The proposition of a 150-acre golf course angers many citizens who are concerned with the calculated development of San Marcos' nature preserves. Previously, the community developed a long-standing plan to build -Griffith Jenkins Griffith, Park Commission, civic philanthropist, advocate of parklands, and fervent speaker of recreation for the health of Los Angeles." equity within the approach of a sustainable environment. She described the positive equity San Marcos obtained by sustaining and building a university. Double Peak boasts a moderate 5-mile terrain above Cal State San Marcos suitable for all forms of outdoor activity with an elevation gain of 1000 feet. The environment poses a spectacular view of surrounding North County and is the second highest peak in San Marcos.

Olsen's concerns grew as San Elijo Hills applied for a Conditional Use permit in order to construct a professional golf course. Construction of a golf course would eliminate the prospect of Double Peak Regional Park. The design of Double Peaks Park would include numerous trails, a substantial park for the community, open fields, nature sits and possibly an area to include entertainment venues. The Town Hall meeting proceeded to construct a vision of San Marcos by allowing candidates to speak about their views. Some candidates chose to speak about other issues concerning their campaigns. Candidate's promised to improve the future of San Marcos. San Marcos citizens and students remain key elements of smart growth. Citizens are the reason for the creation of nature preserves. San Marcos needs development with the implemental understanding of the environment, economics and equity. Knowles-Yanez said, "[you are] not born a citizen, you learn how to become a citizen...

Moore's attempt to connect the area's largest employer and the number one weapons manufacturer in the United States, Lockheed Martin, with the violent condition is pure irony at its best. It is also coincidental that the day of the Columbine killings was also the largest single-day barrage of American-financed bombs raining down on Kosovo. By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer This movie is a must see for everyone. Bowling for Columbine is a documentary that takes a provocative look at guns and violence in America. It looks inside the minds of America and asks the question, "why?" I highly recommend that everyone see this movie, as it affects moviegoers and makes them above all THINK! Due to the complexity of the documentary, viewers may find themselves thinking about something totally different than the person sitting next to them. Startling facts were presented in this film regarding the following countries reporting their annual death tolls by gunfire being: Germany (381), France (255), Canada (165), the United Kingdom (68), Australia (65), Japan (39), and the USA leading the group by reporting a shocking 11,127 people. Another notable fact is that there are 10 million families in Canada, 7 million guns owned, and yet it has one of the lowest death rates caused by guns. Bowling for Columbine opened October 18th at Landmark theaters in Hillcrest and struck a chord within millions of people, beginning at opening night. This film offers satire, thoughtprovoking statements, and it is also a film that will not please everyone. Filmmaker Michael Moore is an investigative reporter, who presents, his findings through documentaries. He is credited with making pragmatic films such as Roger and Me, The Big One, and now, Bowling for Columbine, where he examines the social paradigms inherent in different sects of society. His directing tactics have been labeled as guerrillafilmmaking,because he does not censor his convictions or attempt to hide the truth from his audiences. CSUSM student Phuong Nguyen, a Communications major, commented on Michael Moore, saying, "Mike's smart, f un, witty, and whimsical. He has the uncanny ability to present issues relevant to all Americans in a way that doesn't alienate them." The title c omes-from the fact that the two individuals responsible for the tragedy at Columbine High School went bowling on the morning before Other notable interviews throughout the film include Marilyn Manson, Dick Clark, Michael Moore, writer, producer and director of Bowling for and a surprising interview with Columbine.

CSUSM student Nguyen also said, "I was really frightened by the fact that we have such an obsession with guns and how easy it is for us to access them in America. I didn't want to piss off anyone in the theater for fear that they would pull out a gun and point it at me. I want to move to Canada!" This film is definitely a controversial look into America's fixation with fear, violence, and guns. It will make some people angry. The main messages that Moore attempts to share is that the 2nd Amendment of the "right to bear arms," does not mean that we have the right to use them on others. It conveyed an observation that Americans tend to rely on themselves to resolve conflicts instead of the government. He also suggests that fear, enhanced by the media's obsession with death and violent crime, may be the root cause of America's death-by-gun problem. Whether you agree with the director's conclusions after seeing this film isn't the issue - it is that you recognize the problem. This documented investigation surely will encourage people to really think about tough issues that America faces during this day in age. Go see this film with others, because you will want someone with whom to discuss this film, right alter you see it. Seeing the film should be mandatory for Americans. When interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival, Moore stated, "I thought it would be interesting to take a journey through this culture of fear. Most journalism does | be who, what, when; where, andhow questions, but very few people in the media a& why does this happen! Why do we have 250 million guns in our homes especially when thei^'s been a huge decrease in crime?" �Radical Approach to Self-Defense By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Students who have taken the R.A.D. more than once say that it only gets better with time. Malorie Acevedo, 14, has taken R. A.D. classes since the age of 9 and delights in the fact that "there is always something new." On a dark and stormy night, a stranger approaches his victim in an alleyway. A struggle ensues but the woman being attacked successfully defends herself and manages to safely escape. This woman, along with thousands of other women nationwide, was ready to defend herself thanks to R.A.D. Patti Kinney, a CSUSM employee for Student Residential Life, has taken the R.A.D. class and was very satisfied with what she learned. "I leave each class session feeling excited; I give this course 100%++! I am so happy with what I have learned so far that I plan on continuing the R.A.D. training to the advanced level," she commented. R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) was developed by Larry Nadeau in 1989. To ensure that women of all ages would be capable of performing these methods, he tested all techniques on his mother perform prior to holding classes. Once he was sure that they worked, he compiled them into a 50-page self-defense handbook, which is used widely in classes today. R.A.D. students during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. This 12-hour basic self-defense course offers women instruction and practice in ways to fend off an attacker without the use of weapons, according to CSUSM R.A.D. instructor, Barbara Sainz. "This class shows you the more practical side of life; you will enjoy it, but you will also walk away with the skills needed to survive an attack," she added. It is now available at over 400 universities nationwide and is instructed by a select few law enforcement officers who are specially trained to teach these defense techniques. Sainz is one of three volunteers who teach the CSUSM R.A.D. class, along with her husband, Mario Sainz and Marlon Estepa, both CSUSM police officers. All three instructors freely give much of their time and efforts to educate women - young and old alike - in the art of self-defense. "Our goal is to teach realistic techniques to empower women," added Officer Sainz. When the instructors were asked why they enjoy doing this, Sainz remarked, "We love it Life Director, Bridget Blanshan, because we get to meet wonder- has been a R.A.D. enthusiast, as ful people." well as an instructor, for years.

Kinney was so satisfied with the training she received in the R.A.D. class that she plans to join the newest club on campus, C.A.S.A. Founded by CSUSM student, Carey Moya, This club was established to encourage more female students to join in on protecting themselves. C.A.S.A. is an acronym for Cougars Active Self-Defense Association, which is scheduled to start weekly club meetings on campus in ACD 301 beginning Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. This CSUSM club will encourage women to defend themselves and promote the usage of safety techniques. The next scheduled R.A.D. classes begin in early November. Due to lack of space on campus, CSUSM's R.A.D. classes are presently offered across the 78 freeway at the Regional Emergency Training Center in San Marcos. The cost for lifetime training is $20, which goes to fund maintenance of equipment and training materials. For more information on R.A.D. classes, visit: www.csusm.edu/rad/ or call 760-750-4567. For more information on C.A.S.A., visit www.geocities.com/csusmcasa/ or call 760-747-8960. Due to the intense nature of the simulation exercise, students are debriefed and given a wellness check before being allowed to leave. The debriefing period is also used to point out to students how well they did, and to cheer for their performance and enhanced skills. After attending the October R.A.D. classes, Kit-Bacon Gressitt, 45, commented, "This class is incredibly helpful in teaching self-defense tactics. This is the first step; I feel more confident in myself, and I would like to do it again." R.A.D. students applying the techniques learned during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. CSUSM Student Residential S Y S T E M S �" Latinologues" l lega a S an D iego Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal La obra de teatro "Latino logues" llega a San Diego. En su primer día de estreno, el viernes nov. 25, los actores latinos Rick Nájera, René Lavan y Lina Acosta recibieron una ovación de pie al final de dicha presentación. Najera es nativo de San Diego, Lavan es cubano y Acosta es colombiana creando así un mosaico latino. "Latinologues" es una obra cómica de teatro donde los actores usan las experiencias de los latinos en los Estados Unidos para crear una noche de entretenimiento total. Los actores representan a personajes de diferentes países latinos y recrean las vidas de ellos en Estados Unidos en diferentes escenas. Estas escenas son en mayor parte monólogos con algunas excepciones en donde más de un actor actúa. La comedia tiene alrededor de 10 monólogos y dura un poco menos de dos horas. Algunos de los temas representados en la obra incluyen la inmigración de los latinos a EE.UU. y sus experiencias con "la migra", al igual que la versión del pasaje P I C o m e d y W i t h o u t B orders Courtesy Illustration / The Pride de la Biblia donde Moisés es conLos actores hacen un excelente siderado el líder del pueblo judío, trabajo al representar sus perque en este caso es el "Mexican sonajes tan humorísticamente y Moses" interpretado por Nájera. en la mayoría de los casos tan El popular y controversial realísticamente.

Cabe destacar que además de haber escrito esta comedia, de dirigirla y estelarizarla, Nájera tiene una calidad humorística innata ya que su interpretación no es solamente excelente pero es súper divertida. Nájera escribió que no hay una experiencia latina como no hay una experiencia americana. Él escribió que en ningún otro lugar la experiencia latina es más relevante que en San Diego y que un solo monólogo no puede contar la historia de la experiencia latina. "Entretenimiento es mi primer prioridad para una audiencia," dijo Nájera. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que algunos de los personajes femeninos interpretados por Acosta son muy estereotípicos. Este es el caso de las jóvenes embarazadas a temprana edad, al igual que la presentación de las latinas como personas pasionales representadas en un monólogo. Desafortunadamente, como lo demuestran las estadísticas, el caso de las adolescentes embarazadas es la triste realidad, ya que hay muchas latinas jóvenes en esta situación, pero en el caso de la ardiente mujer latina no deja de ser estereotípico y muy machista ya que no todas las latinas son tan sensuales.

La gran parte del guión es en inglés; sin embargo, los actores usan palabras en español desde el principio hasta el final de la obra. Sin el sabor y significado de estas palabras, definitivamente la obra no sería igual de divertida y mucho menos realista. La luz y el sonido tanto como la escenografía son de buen gusto. Las paredes móviles permiten que el escenario se ajuste a la escena; el piso es una representación del calendario azteca; y el vestuario es una buena representación de los personajes y va de acuerdo con lo satírico y en ocasiones exagerado de la obra. Además, hay una pequeña pantalla que refleja fotos e información de la siguiente escena a la audiencia. "Latinologues" sé ha presentado en toda la nación en varias formas. La comedia también tuvo una presentación especial donde más actores latinos participaron y los fondos recaudados en esta presentación serán donados a Project Concern International, que es una organización de beneficencia dedicada a proveer el tan necesitado cuidado de salud a los niños de Tijuana y San Diego. Este fue el caso de la presentación del 26 de octubre donde Jacob Vargas, de la película Trafile; el actor venezolano Fernando Carrillo, de la telenovela mexicana Rosalinda; Roselyn Sánchez, d eRushHour2 y otros actores latinos participaron. Recuerden que hay que apoyar al verdadero talento latino. Así que si tienen la oportunidad de asistir a esta comedia, no dejen de hacerlo. La comedia estará en San Diego hasta el domingo 24 de noviembre en el Teatro Lyceum del San Diego Repertory Theatre localizado en Downtown San Diego en Horton Plaza. Interesados pueden visitar sandiegorep.com para mayor información. El costo de los boletos varía dependiendo el día y la hora de la presentación.

We visited all the local hot spots like "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball," Club " Curve" "Studio 54," and the after-hours club, "Seven." In actuality, Anderson was my friend Theresa, and Rock was her boyfriend, Mike, but after putting back a couple of drinks at the table, Vegas vacationers couldn't tell the difference. And we didn't t ell Angels, S&M lovers, and monsters. One man had a costume completely made out of peacock feathers glued directly to his body. One of the girls had a costume made in a similar fashion with rose petals. Another beautiful and daring woman had a costume that was made out of "CAUTION" tape wrapped around lier three times in thé right spots to cover what she had to. Some of the more a m u sin g couples were a Priest and an altar boy, Pebbles and Bam-Bam all grown up, and Adam and Eve. "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball" is an annual party held on the last Saturday before Halloween. The party calls for scantily dressed females and monstrous males to dress in the most exotic I went as Little Red Riding clothes they can find and attend a Hood, but my costume failed costume party in the Las Vegas in comparison to these really Sports Arena. fabulous get-ups.

Although there were 5,000 partygoers at the event, it wasn't the jampacked atmosphere that one may expect at a club. The Sports Arena was cooled to 65 degrees, far too cold for Little Red Riding Hood, and so we left to go to club C urve.. ting people into the unused portion of the VIP section. Drinks at this club were about $9 a piece, reasonable for Vegas, and so we stayed and danced for a few hours. By 3 am the club was emptying out and so we went to the after-hours club, Seven.

This was a far better club than I expected it to be with a lot of f un people. The cover in this club is $20 for men on the weekends and always free for women. The Go-Go Dancing Girls and Boys on pedestals i n the club were great dancers and very attractive. The music was a mix of top forty and old school from the seventies and eighties. About every hour they had a performer twirling down from the ceiling, or something like bubbles falling from above. The club was three levels with two large dance floors and plenty of sitting room, VIP or not. Drinks were $9-10 dollars a piece but the bartenders do buybacks if you tip them. The club is open from 104 but was mostly empty by 3 am when we left. Halloween in Vegas is definitely a great time, but book far in advance, otherwise the rooms and the airfare can be a bit pricey.

She shows a typical lack of understanding of both the history and mechanics of prejudice and discrimination in America and twists the usage of words out of their historical context. On the one hand, she says ethnic literature pieces should be included in American Literature and not put into sepa- rate courses. On the other, she ignores the pervasive belief by Whites that they are not raced and that "ethnicity" is reserved for people of color. While she is correct that those of British and other European origins are also "ethnic", this is not how this term is used by the vast majority of White Americans. To imply that putting ethnic literature in a separate course is "asinine" reflects her underlying attitudes and beliefs and ignorance of past struggles to incorporate them in traditional American Literature classes.

In keeping with Ms. Sarabia's previously published and herein quoted article, The Pride is obligated to publish articles and/or letters in languages other than English. Let's truly celebrate diversity! it clear to me that many parents and teachers from the dominant group in our society (e.g., those of European descent or "White ethnics" in Ms. Reed's terms) continually resist attempts to broaden the American Literature curriculum to include the works of so-called "non-traditional" (read People of Color) authors in a majority of the middle and high schools and many colleges across America. The scarcity of truly "American" (as Ms. Reed puts it) Literature and History courses has resulted in the creation of Ethnic Studies Programs across America, because people of color often had no other avenues to achieve these goals. drawing attention to certain ethnicities at the expense of others ("discrimination" she calls it), this assumes that the dominant European culture would pay much attention to these "ethnicities" if this were not done. The history of the struggles for such reform in the past has demonstrated how difficult it is. The day it will be possible to have truly "American" literature classes throughout the land without the need for separate multiethnic classes will be a major milestone, but it is not at all clear that we have reached that point. It is sad and disheartening to see people, who apparently know little about the Civil Rights Era and what it meant to people at that time, turn the language of this important period against the very people íwho have been seeking equal opportunity for all in America (e.g,"the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal." ). My experiences as an educator involved in cultural and race relations both inside and outside the United States (e.g., Peace Corps teacher in Africa, director of student exchange programs, chair of the multicultural committee at Palomar College, ombudsman for the Poway Unified School District) have made Sincerely, Rebecca Lagger Junior Philip de Barros Adjunct Professor CSUSM If Ms. Reed believes that one is Take the Class!

Actually, I bet most of you who are reading this article have not seen these movies, if any of them. Why is that? Is it that most o f these movies have almost a complete black cast? Is it that promotion of these movies was inadequate? Or could it be that these movies were targeted for a specific audience? Or could it be that most of these movies make E schew O bfuscation Eschew - To avoid; shun Obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; for instance: "A great effort was made to obfuscate the truth." Travis Olp's recent articles in The Pride regarding the Progressive Activists Network's (PAN) recent War Forum were misrepresentative and misleading. The point of this forum was to give student? a chance to hear a side of the discourse regarding the proposed war on Iraq that is typically obscured by our national media. The two articles, a "news" piece entitled, "PAN Hosts War Forum" and White America take an introspective look about the past and the present of how Blacks have been mistreated and are continually mistreated on a more covert level. And, yet no one wants to take any responsibility. What paints an even clearer picture is when you take a look around the movie theaters and see who attends a movie such as the recently released comedy Barber Shop, or the overlooked shocking epic of a whole town being burned to ashes in the movie "Rosewood". From my own observation more times than not it is more probable to see a more diverse group of people in the theater where blacks are portrayed in comical situations than in dramatic social conscious roles. It is much easier viewing a film where black actors are making f un of themselves or cracking jokes about each others mama than to watch the innocent be wrongly accused, discriminated against, beaten, and/or killed. Anytime we go see a movie we would love to walk out of a movie feeling light-hearted happy and giddy, but life isn't that way and never has been. To explore this further, did you ever stop to think why Halle Berry and Denzil Washington with their long list of credits, accolades, and in depth his opinion piece entitled, "War Panel Way Too Subjective" were both replete with symptoms of a larger problem inherent in both The Pride and mainstream media in general. The problem is that contemporary "news" coverage in our society has become little more than a collection of sound bytes with typically very little explanation of the sound bytes. When there is explanation given, it's usually as brief and lacking in substance as the sound byte that was given. Contemporary media is not entirely to blame for this problem: As consumers of this "news", we validate this shoddy reporting every time we see stories like those written by Olp and his national media counterparts when we don't speak up, clarify their misrepresentations, and demand substantiate this quote, "..innate that they do a better job. nature of contention." Innate nature is redundant, "[quoting Here are some quotes from panelist Prof. Seleski] The right Olp's articles that are either false, has to understand it is not the misrepresentative, or examples of '30's. The left has to understand it shoddy reporting: "...Erick Roper is not the '60's." Olp assumes we gave...concise dissertations..." all know what she meant, "..the Concise dissertation, is an forum was not open whatsoever." oxymoron; if _ "They [students] never you aren't sure L , t , l l U K d had a chance to ask how to spell someone's name, questions, either." FALSE. PAN ask someone who does. "His President Manal Yamout, more [panelist Dick Eiden] passionate than once told the audience if and liberal beliefs came blazing they wanted to ask questions that through..." What is meant by, they could step up to the mic, "liberal beliefs"? Are we to which a couple students, most assume everyone defines that the notably a Canadian student, did. same? " 'If the government tells "I was not able to collect so much the truth, it is a coincidence', as a single quote from a member said Eiden." Olp doesn't see fit of the listeners." Don't blame to tell his readers even one of PAN for your inadequacies as a the many examples Eiden gave to reporter Olp. character portrayals, why each of them finally won an Oscar for portraying some of the most life, troubled, shady, trashy, characters in their careers? Hundreds of movies are released each year, but what is more interesting is to recognize which and what films get the most publicity and who goes to see them. I cannot force a person to watch and pay for something they refuse to deal with or refuse to believe exists. In our media driven society, we have been programmed to think that if a situation or a problem has no direct effect on me, then I don't have to deal with it. But I am making you think about why you have overlooked these films and what your rational or more importantly your excuse was for not seeing them. I challenge you to come out from your comfort zone for just one evening and see one of the films that I mentioned regardless of how uncomfortable or squeamish they may make you feel. If you have a hard time watching these films and are left wondering how could anyone have endured such injustice, then most likely you got the point of the movie. Olp got one thing right, "..it [the forum] was an avenue for PAN to push their agenda.." One item on that agenda is to expose students to perspectives they are not normally exposed to. PAN didn't include pro-war speakers on the panel because that's all anyone ever hears on this subject in the mainstream media anyways. I could continue to clarify other inadequacies from Olp's articles but I've already exceeded my sound byte limit: Students wanting further clarifications should contact me at roper004@csusm.edu.

This cross-cultural event was planned and organized largely in part by joy Francisco and Trish Guevarra of the APSS. Some of the highlights included versions of both the United States and Filipino national anthems. The APSS also showcased two different forms of Filipino folk dancing. The Binasuan, performed by Cheryl Arbitria, involves balancing three glasses of rice wine (substituted on campus by kiwistrawberry Shasta) while moving through a sequence of exotic and difficult contortions. The Tiniklin, performed by members of the APSS, is a choreographed dance that requires perfect synchronization of the dancers, and incorporates the tapping of poles which are laidflaton the ground and tapped to the beat by fellow performers.

Along with Dimaandal, this tribute to Filipino-American culture featured a number of musical groups/artists ranging from alternative rock to rap to techno. One of the crowd favorites was the "Squids of Fury," who are a San Diego based break-dancing crew who performed on the very unforgiving medium of concrete. When asked about the long term goals of the APSS, Joy Francisco (Director of Publicity/ Historian for the APSS) responded by saying that the immediate goal of the fledgling organization (established in the Spring of 2002) was simply to inform the public of the existence and relevance of Asian Pacific society in San Diego. According to the U.S. census, FilipinoAmericans make up 20 percent of the people of Asian descent in the United States, second only to The APSS was also successful the Chinese (23 percent).

SDCHCC is a non-profit organization that provides many different programs and services for the Hispanic entrepreneur. It also has a scholarship program for graduating high school students and has approved scholarships for some college students, according to Roberto Villareal, which can earn them up to $1000. According to SDCHCC, they helped raise over $350,000 in scholarships for the future of the Hispanic youth, and they are focusing on building a solid foundation for the community, starting with the Hispanic youth and business community. SDCHCC also offers internships for students majoring in International Business. Villareal says that they have a program with San Diego State University (SDSU) but sees no problem with students of Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) enlisting in the program if they are willing to take the time and follow through. The organization was established in 1989, primarily to access the $10 billion Hispanic buying power. The new organization is now the fastest growing Hispanic Chamber out of six states in the western United States. "Our role as a Hispanic Chamber is to advocate small businesses particularly Hispanic businesses," Villareal says. Membership in the organization entitles small business owners to collaborate with each other, creating business ventures amongst themselves. Membership also entitles the business owners to an exclusive mailing list, which gives the Hispanic business owner an edge.

While clouds covered the sky and frigid breezes filtered through Founders' Plaza, the crowds were minimal. "Maybe it could be held inside next year," suggested many Southern Californian fairweather-fans. With a reportedly high percentage of Cal State San Marcos students going on to graduate school, the fact that the weather could have significantly marginalized the utility of the fair came as a surprise. Bettina HSber, CSUSM Director of Analytic Studies reported from a survey taken in the Spring of 1999 that 45 percent of Cal State San Marcos students, having received their bachelors degree, enrolled in a graduate studies program within one year. See GRAD FAIR, page 3 The Career and Assessment Center hosts the event annually to provide a forum for students to informally meet with a variety of graduate school representatives, to ask questions about schools and programs, and to collect informative materials. This year, the fair was extended an extra hour to last from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., due to student requests made "after last year's fair. Yet, despite a longer window of time, student MEDICAL from page 1 Grad Fair. Photo by Tristan Nickey. science and humanities." During interviews, Mauldin also mentioned that medical school admissions committees may also ask curve ball questions such as "What do you think about European socialized medicine?" or "How do you feel about health care reform?" acceptance to medical schools because schools will not look at applications without MCAT scores. It is also important not to work during medical school due to its intensity. Even though medical schools range from $60,000 - $70,000 for UC schools and $120,000 for private schools, they said that it would Also, schools expect students be best to take out a loan so as to to submit a powerful personal focus completely on studying. statement about themselves in their applications, rather than The CSUSM students who just a brief synopsis of their attended the conference shared scholastic aptitude.

Sack and Mauldin also explained that medical Schools suggest that it is a necessity to have at least one letter of recommendation from a professor that a student knew well. They need to know personal information about the applicant that conveys a willingness to persevere. A student may have multiple letters from professors of classes that he/she aced, but that do not explain anything about his/her personality. It is better to have a letter from a professor of a class in which the student received a C+ especially if it means the professor can vouch for that student's character. Sack also commented about CSUSM, "It's smaller and more intimate, you really get to know your professors, and there are labs for each science class. It's teacher interactive, and there's plenty of hands-on learning.

Soriano, CSUSM associate professor and program director of Human Development, was just named one of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in the U.S by the Hispanic Business Magazine. % Soriano, founder of the NLRC (National Latino Research Center) in 1997, fue sorprendido por el reconocimiento ya que no tenía conocimiento alguno sobre su nominación. Soriano received the news by an email that was sent by an acquaintance congratulating him for the recognition, and since then has received many more. "I was very shocked and kind of humbled," said Soriano. According to Soriano, knowing many Latinos in the nation who are doing so much for the Latino community, and who are deserving of this recognition, it is both gratifying and shocking. "Me siento muy afortunado de tener este conocimiento y ojala que la comunidad Latina tengan orgullo en esto, igual que los que no son Latinos sepan que los Latinos pueden lograr igual éxito a los que no son Latinos," dijo Soriano. Compiled by AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer The Great Bridal Expo Anaheim Convention Center Saturday, November 2 Dr. Fernando I. Soriano. Photo by Tristan Nickey. Sobre el efecto de su reconocimiento en su vida, Soriano said, "It [the recognition] gives me an opportunity to serve as a role model especially to children and adolescents, and I think that role modeling for kids is very special." He also added jokingly, "I wish I had the money that went with that." La página de Internet del Hispanic Business magazine listed la fundación del NLRC as well as the participation of Soriano in the Census Bureau's Advisory Committee on the Hispanic population como sus cualidades principales. The recipients ofthis recognition were determined by survey results conducted by the magazine. However, Soriano never received anything from the magazine's editor or publishers, saying anything of his nomination or his recognition. La razón principal por la cual Soriano decidió venir a Cal State San Marcos fue debido al gran apoyo que la universidad demostró para apoyar el NLRC. "I wanted to make sure that the center had a good home, that it would have strong institutional support for the center; it looked like Cal State San Marcos seemed to be very interested in Latino research and Latino issues so it seemed like a good home for the center." Soriano said that since then, "the center has been doing very well." He added, "We Calend Los temas investigados en el NLRC, de acuerdo con Soriano, Sobre su persona Soriano son muy diversos pero la mayoría mencionó, "I see myself son temas sociales que incluyen primarily as a professor, I don't la demografía, delincuencia e see myself as an administrator... información sobre los niños I see myself primarily as a latinos preescolares.

Sin embargo, este About the interest of other mismo equipo logro convocar people in learning other su primera conferencia donde languages, Soriano said, "It's más de 75 researchers and good to promote another aspiring new researchers de toda language because as the world la nación pudieron conocerse is shrinking, we need to become e intercambiar ideas sobre los a lot more involved with other Latinos and drug use, "When cultures and other countries. you are a Latino and you've Even apart from whether you are gone to school and youv'e Hispanic or Latino, it is going to gotten your Ph.D., you often become increasingly important are isolated and not with others that you learn a second language, who both validate you as an and what better language to learn than Spanish? We not only have a Spanish speaking country right next to us, but we have an entire Hispanic continent that is very large and that is right next to us as well. Promoting the use of language I think is very important." "We, as a country and as a region, should become much more multilingual and should promote the use of languages," added Soriano. De acuerdo con Soriano, the future of the U.S. is that it is going to become much more interdependent on other countries, as the current situation in Europe, where most Europeans speak more than one language due to their interdependence on other countries. "More and more people who are going out to the job market willfindthat some of the better opportunities for jobs are going to be given to those who are able to navigate through different cultures," he said. Soriano said that unfortunately, there are not many Latinos who hold Ph.D's, as well as there is a very low percentage of Latinos who go into 4-year colleges. Soriano mencionó algunos de los factores influyendo a este bajo porcentaje que incluyen la falta de role models; falta de apoyo y conocimiento de las escuelas, profesores y directores, al igual que la falta de confianza que estos ponen en los estudiantes latinos; los exámenes subjetivos aplicados temprano en la vida académica que afectan la motivación y el auto estima de estos niños; y el pertenecer a familias de bajos recursos donde los padres no tienen la educación y el tiempo para guiar a sus hijos y sobre todo donde hay un stress económico. "Todo esto constituye una barrera muy grande," dijo Soriano. También añadió que hay muchos otros factores que afectan este porcentaje. una responsabilidad muy grande y como nuestra población tiene muchos problemas económicos y educacionales especialmente los latinos que tienen educación o los que están ahorita en la escuela tienen una gran responsabilidad de terminar la escuela de hacer bien en la escuela y luego después demostrar la habilidad y los éxitos que pueden logran por el bien de ellos como también de la comunidad Latina," añadió Soriano motivando a los Latinos a seguir adelante. Soriano obtuvo su Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at UC Riverside and his Master's as well as Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Soriano is currently teaching three classes at CSUSM: two sections of HD 495 "Fieldwork Exposure In Human Development" and HD 497 "Research in Human Development" Nacido en Guadalajara, México, pero traído a los EE.UU. a la edad de un año, Soriano mandó un mensaje a los latinos. El dijo, "Cada Latino debe de tomar [la] oportunidad de lograr un nivel de éxito más grande de lo que sus padres han logrado y NOTE: This is a languageque lo hagan no solamente por contact journal article; ellos mismos pero también por it's intended to be in both la población en general Latina, languages. que están viendo en ellos las esperanzas de ellos mismos."

By DESMOND BARCA Pride Design Editor On Oct. 29th 1997, five years ago today, Anton Szander LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, was found dead by his family in his Los Angeles home. His death at age 67 was the result of heart failure. Halloween 1997 marked the end of LaVey's life, but to the annoyance of Christians everywhere, it did not mark the end of his legacy. The Church of Satan is still going strong, admitting new members every day from all over the world. Satanism has long been a frightening and mysterious concept in western culture. While there is little evidence that the hundreds of thousands of people who were tortured and executed throughout history for being Satanist were anything more than social misfits or radicals, the perception of a secret devil worshipping society has long been perceived to exist. Thanks to LaVey, this concept has become a reality, though not exactly according to a Christian understanding. Most people do not have a clue about what Satanism is today. The historical understanding of the satanic creates so strong a picture that it is difficult to approach the Church of Satan objectively. When most people think of Satanists, images of human sacrifice, blood rituals, and infant theft instantly come to mind. However, modern day Satanism, of the variety practiced by members of the Church of Satan, has little to do with these stereotypes. The church of Satan, aside from its name and being the result of a rebellion against Judeo-Christian values, has very little to do with Christianity.

With all the pressure mounting on Brees, he strived to be great, once again, as he delivered an awesome pass to h\s dependable receiver Tim Dwight who put the Charger into the Raider's redzone. On TV, one can see the Raider's fans and coaches faith seem to diminish. 28 and Raiders 21. The excitement surged like a lightning bolt through the veins of the charger's fans, who jumped and screamed in joy for the Charger's victory.

I respect Amy's passion for her belief in the mistake of the Pride. I wds born in San Diego and I am notfluentin Spanish. Seeing the Spanish Sec* tion actually inspired me, the fact that it had no English translation made me even more curious to find out what it said. It also made me think about how those at our school who do speak and read Spanish, what about their view? What a joy for them to open the school paper and be able to read an article in their native language, maybe even the language the learned first I think it is reasonable for Amy to request English side-by-side with the Spanish article. Although, the editor, Maria Sarabia brings up that space and time make it impossible. My suggestion as a fellow English speaking student is to FIGURE IT OUT! We are at CSUSM to learn and to grow. There are resources out there we can use as students to understand the world. This includes Spanish, if necessaiy...to read the school paper. If you have Internet access (tiy using the school lab) log onto a website suchaswww.fieetranslation.com. Here you can translate words or entire passages in multiple languages. I believe you can go to www.csusm.edu/pride/ highlight the Spanish article copy it and have it translated for you on the website. We need to be more accepting of the changes happening around us. There is Spanish written on almpst all store products and their directions. Even songs on the radio use both English and Spanish in the same song. [i.e. Angie Martinez"If I can go...contigo (with you)]. I could go on with examples but I think we can all start looking for these occurances in our own surroundings. Fm sorry to those who are\were offended by the Spanish section, I hope that in the future we as students can pull together all possible resources to better understand the Pride as well as the world around us. Nicole Capatanos Senior, Liberal Studies This is letter is in response to Oct 8th's "Opinion About The Pride Spanish Section" I wasfranklysurprised that Ms. Granite took such offense with the article written in Spanish in our school's newspaper. This university was founded oh the ideal of multiculturalism and social justice. That a school newspaper would be broadminded enough to publish a small section where Spanish speakers can read in their native language would seem to be a positive rather than a negative. I would venture to guess that there are many, many students on this campus who, while maybe not fluent Spanish speakers, have yet studied Spanish at some point in their educational career, as I have. I personally enjoyed the challenge of putting my hardearned Spanish skills to practical use in trying to read the passage. It's not like the article was written in Croatian or some obscure language. This is a language that is so prevalent in our area that if hearing it or reading it offends us; we may be living in the wrong area.

The state shall pass no law that interferes with an individual's right to self-determination, unless said individual violates the right of another. The government shall not conduct business nor be the entity of a business operation which otherwise can be provided by the private sector. Copeland calls for an end to the state income tax.

In Moore's press release he stated that the uni-. versity used to set aside roughly 0f they are more discrete about it. According to Kozol, Martin Luther King had a dream that white and black children would go to the same schools. He did not have a dream that involved a child having to meet certain criteria in order to attend the school. National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol spoke out against what he calls "Modernized legal apartheid," in the United States' public schools system last Thursday at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE). It was a packed house last Thursday at the CCAE when Kozol opened his speech, praising school teachers on their continued efforts on working with kids, yet not speaking too highly about politicians who think otherwise. Kozol does not believe our politicians are doing enough to educate the young children in the inner cities. According to his research, 1/4 of the children in South Bronx do not go to preschool because their local government won't spend the money for Head Start programs, which help children of low-income families to better develop their comprehensive skills before they start school. Kozol drills the government on its education bill that was passed, which will in turn hold an eight-year-old accountable for not passing his/her exams. He feels that these tests are discriminatory against children that go to inner city schools, because some of these children did not have any proper preschooling, and many did not go to pre-school at all. Kozol also thinks that teachers will lose some of their creativity, because they would be under the watchful eye of the government. Jonathan Kozol.

He Kozol doesn't believe that parents from the inner city have the resources to do this. That is where his "Modernized legal apartheid" comes into play. Kozol believes that the modern day American public school system is as segregated as it was in Martin Luther King's time; people just don't notice it because Daniel Murphy, a CSUSM senior, said "Instead of having the students pick up the entire fee, the university could have charged the students the difference between what was set aside, and the fees that were being absorbed (roughly $50,000) and reduce this new 2,9% surcharge by 70 percent!"

Activist Jonathan Kozol Speaks to CSUSM Community By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer a choice as to where the previously set aside money should be used. The $124,091 will now be distributed to other Student Life Programs and to hiring another staff police officer. CSUSM's President Alexander Gonzalez said, "Both will support student needs as we move to a 24/7 campus with the opening of student housing in Fall 2003." "Teachers are not drill sergeants for the state," Kozol expressed. A teacher should have "Loyalty first to the kids," and second to the government, Kozol said. He does not feel that it is necessary for the government to test children because of the negative impact it will have on whoever implements it. PAN Hosts War Forum By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, O ct 17th, Cal State San Marcos hosted a forum concerning the pending war against Iraq in the Mezzanine Plaza at 12 p.m. Sponsored by the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), the panel consisted of three CSUSM professors and two North County activists. According to PAN Vice President Drew Niedenthal, the forum provided an opportunity to "hear from people who are educated about the situation, and to let them speak their mind? The discussion began with introductions of the panel by PAN President Manal Yamout. Fellow members Steven Sehnte and Erick Roper gave qtiick aad concise Öibemtions thereafter Eiden,.: • feöyist and director of the Nortih County Forum, was thefirstto answer a series of PAN directed questions. His passionate and liberal beliefs came blazing through his outspoken manner. Sitting next to him was a Cal State San Marcos See WAR, page 2 �WAR f rom page 1 communication alumnus, Bob Nanninga, currently a journalist for the Coast News. Both Nanninga and Eiden proved to be very adamant about avoiding war with Iraq. Eiden thinks a great deal is missing from media coverage, more specifically, whatever the government does not want people to know. "If the government tells the truth, it is a coincidence", said Eiden. Nanninga explained that the "federal government is completely out of control", believing that the History Professor Lawrence "Bush dynasty" is rampant and Rockwood provided a military misguided in its attempts to use point of view.

He advocated perceives one life as more valumore discussion of these specific able than another. It is really a issues in the media as well as in reflection of our society." the halls of Congress. Questions made by PAN President Yamout were direct and succinct. These included "Is the media coverage on the situation with Iraq accurate?", "Should President Bush be more concerned about domestic issues such as a faltering economy?" and "What are the implications if America decides to go to war without U.N. approval?" The only clear answer was from Eiden. If the U.S. goes to war without the consent of the U.N., it could be the catalyst that "ignites a world confrontation between 'Islam' and 'the West'. The U.S. could become a world pariah," said Eiden. Professor of History Patricia Seleski answered these questions of PAN verbosely. Currently teaching a class on the history of modern warfare, her insights were most enlightening. As she so eloquently said, "The right has to understand it is not the 1930's. The left has to understand it is not the 1960's." Women's Studies Kicks Off New Leadership Series By HONEE J. FOLK Pride Staff Writer Three professional women discussed the importance of balancing family and business life, the glass ceiling encasing women in government, and the challenges that lay ahead for women on their career paths during a Women's Studies Leadership Series, The panel discussion took place at Cal State San Marcos in Commons 206 on Oct. 10, complete with light afternoon hors. d'oeuvres of fine cheese with crackers and exotic fruit juices. Its focus was, "Being in the Public's Eye," and it had as guest speakers three superwomen in government, Lori Holt-Pfeiler, JoAnn Case, and Suzanne Strassburger. clown, rather the ability to skillfully maneuver the schedules and priorities of her daughter's sleepover plans, a town hall meeting, dinner, her career as an accountant, wife, and the Mayor of an entire city - all in one day. Holt-Pfeiler devotedly described the obstacles that she herself faced on her political ascension on the public service ladder. She reiterated the many difficulties specific to women who must burrow through a system filled with challenges, and are often not shown any benevolence from their male counterparts. When questioned by an audience participant about her commitment to ensuring that the voices of other underrepresented populations, specifically women of color, be heard, Holt-Pfeiler responded, "If you don't share power, it's going to be taken from you, so you have to make a place at the table for everyone to sit." Holt-Pfeiler, the soft-spoken Mayor of Escondido, appeared stronger than a locomotive in a calm, underlying might, as she recounted her daily challenges of holding a public office and balancing her family responsibilities. She invited the audience on a twist-and-turn journey of one day in Lori's life, where Case, Economic Development the juggling act did not consist Division Manager of Escondido, of colorful balls being thrust in had to be faster than a speeding several directions by a circus bullet to make a place at the table By HONEE J.

With just a high school education and $2,000 in her billfold, Case whisked past the blockades and two husbands in her way, up the ladder of managerial success. Now that she has accomplished that, there is little room for advancement because the top 5 Director positions in city management are all held by men and have remained stagnant. Case cautiously talked about the ever-present glass ceiling looming overhead for women. She said of Escondido city government, "You find a lot of women get to the management level and that's where they tend to stop. They don't tend to get to the director level." Case outlined the pros and cons of engaging the city in employment. She maintained that among the most attractive advantages to government work is an individual's ability to directly affect change in other people's lives. "You touch a lot of people," she said, "you touch the public a lot." She continued by saying that although the pay is not creat, "The henefit p art. is not grrpat "TV»p bpnpfit «ackage is well worth it." Her candid disposition permitted her to be completely frank and honest with her audience, being truthful in her advice, "I would say there are more opportunities for women to advance, at least in this state, today, in the private sector," Case asserted, "If you're looking for an accelerated career path to the top, government is not for you, at least not now." Strassburger, CEO of the Downtown Business Association of Escondido, connected with the audience by sharing her professional progression towards the position she holds now. Strassburger previously held employment with organizations from the San Diego Blood Bank to the Zoological Society, publishing articles in regional and national publications. Her experience reinforces the age-old cliché that it's not what you know, it's who you know as she openly divulged, "I have never received a job that I have applied for.

According to her, this preparation empowered her to move beyond obstacles in her path as if leaping over tall buildings in a single bound. To illustrate this analogy, Strassburger provided an example that she, like other women, had often encountered. "There will be times when you're in a meeting and make a comment, and 5 minutes later a man will say the same thing and be recognized for it when you weren't." She used this opportunity to engage the audience by releasing the tension that had built up from such a frustrating reality. Strassburger asked someone to help her understand why this scenario often occurred and Jonathan Pouliard, CSUSM's Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, blurted out, "That's easy, it's called sexism!" The audience rose and fell a in an eruption of laughter and _ before they were able to j fll gain their composure, Strassburger threw her arm up in the air and breathed a sigh of relief while exclaiming, "Oh, thanks for clearing that up!"

The killing spree, which has resulted in nine deaths and has wounded three others, began on O ct 2nd. On Monday an arrest was made, although at the time that this article went to print, there was no known connection to the sniper attacks that have haunted the greater Washington D.C are for over two weeks. Experts originally believed that the "Sniper", had had at least To say that the assailant or some degree of military trainassailants have drastically dis- ing.

Phoenix, also states that trained The "Sniper" struck eleven times in the first two weeks, remained in seclusion from Monday the 14th, and struck again last Saturday night, this time more than 80 miles from Washington, D.C. The latest victim is in critical but stable condition at a local area hospital. snipers aim for the head. And although the Washington area sniper has hit some in the head, others were hit in the upper body. Graves maintains that, given the distances of the shootings (up to 100 yards) and kill ratio (9 of 11) this seems unlikely to be the work of a professionally trained sniper. "I can take someone out in the morning and by lunch have them shooting as well as this guy," says Graves. The second assumption made about the "Sniper" that has recently been questioned is the idea that this is the work of a lone gunman. Former FBI agent and one of the pioneers of modern profiling techniques, Robert Ressler, suggests that the shooter's ability to hit with a single shot and escape police dragnets within minutes gives credence to the notion that this might be the work of more than one man. It's been implied that the second man would act as a "wheel man" and/or victim spotter. "These are complex crimes," says Ressler. "You can't just pull up and shoot out the window unless you're an exceptional marksman. I think he's getting out of his seat and shooting with a scope and a bipod or a rest. Someone else is driving." Ressler also suspects that by the time the victim falls, the vehicle is already moving. This may be partly due to the United States government's approval to use Army spy planes (Airborne Reconnaissance Low planes) equipped with a range of special sensors and detection capabilities for an overhead, round the clock hunt for the notorious marksman. Furthermore, criminologists have suggested that, these killings may stop for months at a time, or even entirely. This may be just another of this unseemly character's/characters' methods employed that make him/them virtually impossible to profile. Whatever the case, this methodical madman/madmen has used intelligence to evade capture thus far and officials have even granted that it may require either luck, or an improbable mistake on his/their part to apprehend this killer/killers.

Throughout the California State University system there is a requirement that says that in order to obtain a degree all students must show a proficiency in writing. Students at CSUSM meet this requirement through what is known as "Writing Across the Curriculum" The 2002-2003 General Catalogue explains, "At CSUSM, students complete the graduation writing assessment through the All-University Writing Requirement" This requires that every course must have, "a writing component of a least 2,500 words " The requirement does not state specifically how this is to be done, just that the "writing requirement can be achieved in a variety of ways, depending on the course." an upper division writing class and pass the Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP). Students attending the Long Beach campus have to pass a Writing Proficiency Examination/ In all cases, if the students fail to pass the writing exams and additional courses, they will not be able to graduate. There are also limits as to how many times the exams can be taken. The requirement for CSUSM is much different from other universities in the CSU system. At CSU Bakersfield, students must show writing competency by either passing the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) examination or It is not just the CSU system by taking an additional writing that has a writing requirement. class. While at Cal State Ful- For example, at UCSD all stulerton, students have to take dents must pass writing exams known as Challenge Exams, and at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students must either pass a writing proficiency exam or take another English class in order to graduate. CSUSM's writing requirement is a legacy of the founding faculty. Dr. Patricia Worden, a member of the founding faculty in Psychology who is now the Dean of Graduate Studies, explained that Dr. Ken Seib is the "father of the writing requirement." Worden said that the founding faculty was concerned Worden told how Seib, who left the university before it opened, felt that "if you want to learn how to write you have to write a lot." In order to achieve this goal, the founding faculty decided on a requirement that would call for writing in every single class, or "writing across the curriculum." Worden said they knew it would require more work for the faculty, so they .made the requirement flexible mandating only a word minimum and not any specifics for how it should be accomplished. Worden added, "[the] university's writing requirement has had nothing but good publicity." * Dr. Bud Morris, Immediate Past Chair of the Academic Senate and Communication professor, said that, "CSUSM chooses to [use the writing requirement] and we do it well." Morris added how the writing requirement "is a distinction and one that emphasizes the personal development of the students." To confirm how successful CSUSM's writing requirement really is, Dr. Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, provided statistics and data gathered from several different surveys. According to Huber, "Our writing requirement makes us distinctive." She also said that it highlights the importance of writing in every course over a general essay like the GWAR. Huber discussed the results of the Fall 2001 Annual In-Class Survey, which showed how 80% of the 1,156 respondents believed that, "their writing ability had been enhanced moderately or a great deal." In the Spring 1999 Alumni Survey, in which there were 1,468 respondents, four in five alumni said "the writing skills they acquired at CSUSM have proved particularly useful in the years since they received their bachelor's degrees." Alumni comments were a testimony to both the dislike and the importance of the requirement. A few typical examples were, "the horrible writing requirement has proven to be very valuable," "all writing proved to be a must," and «jI IT See WRITING, page 5 ! ?

Although this day is marked on many calendars, many do not know what this day really means. According to www.patriotism.org, this day was established via presidential proclamation to commemorate the establishment of the United Nations in 1945.

One respondent stressed how "the CSUSM writing requirements were key in preparing me for my professional day to day tasks." Huber added, "Only in retrospect can you judge the value of your college education." The GWAR is a CSU system requirement that has been replaced at this campus with the writing across the curriculum policy. When asked about the circumvention of the GWAR, Dr. Sharon Hamill,. Associate Professor of Psychology and General Education Committee chair, reassured that the writing done through the university's writing requirement satisfies the GWAR, and that because of it, CSUSM students do not have to Alpha Chi Omega Hosts Womens Resource Event take an exit exam. Hamill also said that this year, "The General Education Committee would be looking into the GWAR issue and how writing is addressed at CSUSM." By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Showing a proficiency in writing is mandatory for graduating college students in the state of California. CSUSM has the unique system of the "writing across the curriculum" requirement, while other colleges, regardless if they are in the CSU system or not, have exit exams like the GWAR, or additional classes, or both. It is extremely doubtful that the writing requirement will ever be eliminated, but it could be replaced. However, this would be up to the General Education Committee and the Academic Senate to decide. JCoiutâ current goals and strategies of the United Nations, visit their website: www.UN.org.

Or so it should be in the university press. "The Constitution has established as the supreme law of the land the guarantees of free speech and a free press with a prohibition against the government at any level of any branch infringing thereon," wrote Louis Ingelhart. The question that remains is if this protection of verbal and written freedom of expression extends to the nation's 3500 plus colleges and universities. So begins the debate. "Wanted: Teacher willing to advise student publications Must not allow students to write about controversial issues, damage the school's reputation with quality reporting or upset students, parents or the community with the truth. Must realize that a school publication is a publicrelations device. Potential advisers who emphasize First Amendment rights need not apply" The fact that very few campus newspapers are completely independent of the college overseeing them complicates the issues over how much freedom they are entitled to. Cal State San Marcos' student paper, The Pride, for example, receives rent-free office space on campus and approximately half of its funding from the university Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding. The other half credence to student publications is self-sufficient, coming from being entitled to funding - which cannot be reduced or eliminated advertisement revenue. due to content-related issues, as Francine Martinez, CSUSM described by journalism profesVice President for Student sor Louis Ingelhart. Affairs, explains IRA funding as a, "fee revenue that is paid by students each semester. The current fee is $5 per student per term." Martinez added that the IRA Fee "is designated for activities that support the academic/ instructional programs of the University. Student newspapers [are] an example of the type of activities supported by this fee on our campus" There is a proposal submission process, which The Pride goes through each year in order to receive this funding. The ASI president is the chair of the IRA committee, which reviews all proposals and makes recommendations to the university president. The president makes the final recommendations as to who receives IRA allocations for the following year. Fiscal support, such as that received by The Pride, is not unique to CSUSM. According to journalist Eric Campbell, only 22 student newspapers in the country are completely independent. In fact, courts give formal At CSUSM, even Rick Moore, Director of Communications, whose job it is to create a positive reputation for the university, said, "I would be proud of our campus student newspaper if it [was] fair and balanced. I do not expect it to be consistently positive about the campus." press, or prefer to ignore these restrictions." Thereby, the freedom to which student journalists are entitled is not always taken advantage of. Nor is this a staunch freedom that goes unchallenged. New cases are perpetually brought to court where a party believes their constitutional right to freedom of the written word has somehow been thwarted at a campus newspaper. Currently, the editors of a student publication at Governors State University in Illinois have filed a lawsuit in federal court. The two editors complain that their paper was literally shut down after they printed attacks on professors and administrators for being "antagonistic to student concerns" This case is being closely watched by student-press and professional-journalism organizations for the impact it may have upon future policies. Despite the lack of complete autonomy from the university, many campus newspapers are free from the control of their faculty or administration. This makes student newspapers peerlessly unique, as no other publications are free from the censorship of their publisher, which is the university in this case. In these circumstances, though, immunity is seen as necessary for publications to function as credible sources of information instead of extensions of university advertising. The United States judicial system has upheld this necessity with Numerous court rulings granting that public colleges have more power to regulate what is taught in the classrooms than what is printed Not all cases of infringement in the campus newspaper, as upon student journalists' rights reported by political activist have the luxury of becoming so John K.

A former staff writer for The Babbler, the student newspaper at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, commented on experi-. ences with the newspaper's faculty advisor. "When talking about story ideas, I was repeatedly told not to be disappointed if something negative [about Lipscomb] didn't get printed... That's just the way it was," said the former writer. (Student's name is withheld in a protection of privacy.) Jonathan Poullard, CSUSM Dean of Students, said he wants to hear the truth reported about the campus workings, but he wants to hear all the truth. "Don't give me half the story," said Poullard. Poullard expounded that at the' multiple universities for which he has worked, administrators, faculty, and students criticize the lack of angles provided in student newspapers. One-sidedness or lack of multiple sources used in news stories is a common criticism of student newspapers across the nation. Student reporters are often inexperienced and are always working under impeding deadlines that compete Fortunately, the circumstances with other coursework.

Pancotti gave insights and suggestions for settling the nerves that all of the students will eventually encounter when looking for a job. Pancotti's first -suggestion was to be ready to relax/ She explained most interviewers or recruiters understand nerves and try to put individuals at ease, so she insisted, "Go ahead and relax!" One way to help the relaxation part is to be prepared. Pancotti recommends making sure that applicants know ahead of time exactly what job people are applying for and the qualifications needed for that job. Also, people should try to find out what kind of interview they will be having: whether it is a panel interview, a oneon-one interview or a phone interview makes a difference in the process. Pancotti also suggested calling beforehand to do research on the position that applicants are applying for and investigating in advance as to whether the position is a service oriented job or a data entry position. Going to an interview unaware of these things may damage an applicant's chances for getting the job, said Pancotti. Also, many companies have websites now, where people might be able to get a better knowledge about the culture of the company. Pancotti feels it is most important that when applicants arrive to the interview they show energy and dignity and exude confidence. Wear appropriate clothing; conservative and professional over trendy is usually best. She recommended wearing a very light fragrance, nothing overwhelming because some individuals have allergies. Pancotti also offers a reminder, "The interview starts the moment you walk in the door." She also recommended being courteous to everyone, which means the receptionist, too. Recruiters sometimes ask the receptionist about their opinion. Furthermore, recruiters will be looking at the overall presentation that applicants' offer, and everything counts. Pancotti suggests "bringing a copy of the resume in a folder or a briefcase." She also added, "Bring your day timer or a calendar with you. Occasionally, a second interview is required and applicants will need to make the appointment at that time. Also, bringing the exact phone numbers of professional references helps. Sometimes people will go directly to the second interview, so that second resume helps. The resume does not have to look fancy; it just has to have your skills and be easy to read. The simpler the better is usually best," said Pancotti. If possible, applicants are encouraged to do some roleplaying before the interview. Ask a friend to help. Be prepared to answer "Behavioral Based Interview" questions such as; tell me about a time... or a specific experience when you came up with an idea that improved a situation. The answers should be based on actual experiences. Other questions might be "Describe your most significant accomplishment for which your received recognition?" Answers might start like, "A week ago, I helped my boss.. " Pancotti insisted never to lie about the answers given in the interview. She said, "Liars stop looking at the interviewer and tend to loose focus. We can always tell." So she insisted, "Always, be honest and tell the truth" In addition, people should be prepared to answer questions regarding their weaknesses. This is why Pancotti suggested turning the question into a positive answer, for instance, "I work too hard or I am overly organized." Some other common questions include: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Why are you leaving your current position? Good answers to the last question would be lack of growth or seeing better opportunities in the job applicants are applying for. When answering questions, the interviewee should be sure to communicate clearly and completely, and if they are not sure how they sound, they are recommended to tape themselves or go over their answers with a friend. Having questions for the interviewer shows that applicants are prepared. If possible, the interviewee should go ahead and write the questions down and bring them to the interview. Pancotti's suggestions for good questions would be asking "What characteristics would make the applicant more successful in this position," in which applicants should highlight their qualities and say what they can do to follow the suggestions given by the interviewers. Asking for more information about the actual duties of the hiring position is also helpful; the last question should always be to ask for the next step. This question implies asking if they will call or if they will write. Also, writing a thank you letter is a good thing to do. According to Pancotti, if there are many applicants, people will want to stand out and writing a thank you letter can help. Some individuals might write in the letter "Remember I was number one on my sales team in my previous position." Maintaining eye contact during the interview; connecting with the interviewer; taking time to answer questions; not offering too much personal information; and avoid talking about your husband or children were other suggestions made by Pancotti. Pancotti added that recruiters want to talk about the applicants' skills and qualifications and that this should be kept simple. Pancotti concluded, "At the end of the interview people should feel comfortable and relaxed but without forgetting to bring the most important thing to the interview, a great smile!"

(ASI) Programming Board braved the day's dark clouds and harsh air on their mission to entertain CSUSM students during "Take a Break Tuesday" activity held on Oct. 15, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For this event, seven Cal State §an Marcos students, John Gehris, Rhawnie Gauthier, Julie Kroeger, Angi Hardin, Brett Gladys and Briza Juarez enticed, bribed, begged and harassed anyone standing on Founder's Plaza to increase their batting average in the huge inflatable batting cage. The enormous playpen was set up between Academic and Science Halls and provided many college students an opportunity to retreat to their adolescent memories of recess on the jungle gym. The ominous gray sky, chilling wind, and the precipitous rain clouds were no match for the programming board members' sunny dispositions. Armed with big smiles, enthusiastic energy, and musical bullhorns, several members of the programming team went to the corners of the quad to pull in prospective players. Gehris often stopped random passersby and challenged them to "swing batter batter, swing batter batter." Some CSUSM students were not lured onto the playful atmosphere, Maria Schroeder, ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative remembered ducking and dodging the ball instead of sending it into the outfield the last time she entered the cages. With a smile on her face, she tugged her arm away from the persistent John Gehris, as she exclaimed, "No way, I almost broke my ankle and lost my shoe the last time I got in that thing!" ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, Valerie Cuevas, offered her opinion of the. day's activities saying, "It went very well, over 70 students participated... it provided a great escape from papers and projects for students to just have fun." Cuevas encouraged everyone to participate in the fun activities scheduled in this series on the third Tuesday of every month. The cold California weather had students standing in line with blue lips and shivering torsos jumping from side to side in an effort to keep warm (in the miserably cold weather that never got below 65 degrees). Many were anxious to strut their stuff for fantasy bragging rights about how many balls they "smacked out of the park," joked one student before he pounded away at the ball. �W^MSMmm S u b s Then Jook to your good neighbor State Farnf agent.

The Ring, originally titled Ring, was adopted form a highly regarded Japanese thriller originally by Hideo Nakata. The English version of The Ring, directed by Gore Verbinski (The Mexican), stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Martin Henderson (Windtalkers), and David Dorfman (Panic). While not all the cast are mainstream popular actors and actresses, the characters portrayed come together to make an entertaining shock movie about an urban legend focusing around a videotape. However, when watching this movie, which I suggest you do, please don't meddle on what is not believable, it will ruin the experience. The main gist of this movie is based on the "what i f ' factor, so just go with it. This movie revolves around a videotape but manages to be fairly entertaining, I would suggest this movie to anyone who likes a fairly scary movie that makes you think. and a little bit on the lame side, you are right. But, since when does a Hollywood movie need a believable plot? Especially when dealing with a movie that's based upon a fictional urban legend. Dark imagery foreshadow events. Image courtesy of Dreamworks. The urban legend in The Ring is about a mysterious videotape, whose mystery is only exceeded by its power because the movie will kill you after viewing it. When this video is watched, the viewers will not only be scared, but receive a phone call immediately afterwards explaining that they will have 7 days left to live. This movie received a rating of PG-13, but deals with fairly mature subject matter. Similar movies include the Blair Witch, or the Sixth Sense. The Ring will leave you with a little more on your mind to digest/ The Concept of something as simple as a video causing your death is really something to think about, especially after breaking down all the moments of the movie that tie into the tape. This is what The Ring exactly portrays.' Overall, this is the type of movie that leaves you thinking the moment you see the first credit rolling, not to mention the variety of different actions from person to person about the numerous intellectual and emotional experiences developed throughout the movie. The afterlife and fascination with death has got us all thinking once or twice, and The Ring will expand, and maybe even broaden your horizons on the issue. take it upon herself to get to the bottom of what exactly this tape is about and how it causes the unknown deaths. Dragging other friends and family into the mix, Rachel is sent through a hectic journey to solve the mystery of the tape. As all good movies shock you and make you jump out of your seat, The Ring is no exception. Through out the movie numerous men and women found themselves either jolting around in their chairs or giving a girly scream out of fright. Starting with a series of unknown deaths, Rachel, a Seattle news writer, played by Naomi Watts, gets the scoop of the deadly tape and cannot resist the temptation to watch. After viewing the tape, and receiving Now, if you're thinking this the call of death, Rachel must plot sounds somewhat stretched Before you die, you see the ring. Image courtesy of Dreamworks.

I would describe Jack's music as soulful, lazy, Saturday guitar tunes that occasionally are hinted with a touch of blues, hip-hop, and reggae inflections. From what I have gathered from many websites dedicated to Jack and his music, he is Jack, 27 years old, who was born and raised in Hawaii started surfing pretty much as soon as he began to walk. He surfed competitively as a teenager with a Quicksilver contract and a reputation as an up and coming pro surfer, but he was not the type who enjoyed major competition. After a near fatal surfing accident, Jack turned his back on his surfing career and moved to the mainland to study film at UCSB. most of his songs from his album and tried out some new ones on At one point in the concert, the crowd. I noticed people talkJack said, "I love playing in San ing, laughing, drinking, and just Diego. I love the fact that all of enjoying each other's company. you sing along with me. This is As a musician, filmmaker, the reason I started to write in the first place, so people would sing and pro surfer, Jack Johnson has along with me." I feel that he is proven to follow through with his definitely not letting the fame go interests and loves. He definitely straight to his head. It was like is a musician for the people. I the whole crowd was sitting on truly enjoyed his concert and did his front porch just enjoying the not feel like just another dollar. day and listening and singing His music is the kind of music some great songs. you can commute with, party with, or just relax with. If you are He took requests for songs to interested in knowing more about sing and then also played some his music, go to his website at covers of Bob Dylan and Bob www.jackjohnsonmusic.com. Marley songs. He also played soothed by the tunes. ! 1 Jack's musical talent was discovered here in San Diego. He started off playing $2.00 shows in Encinitas, before he started to get more recognition. Jack is just another person who enjoyed playing the guitar and jamming with friends after a good day of surfing. Jack is definitely a laid back kind of guy who really just plays music, because he loves it and not for the money. Rumor has it that he avoided the big wig recording studios in regards to his second album and is heading back to his brother's garage in Oahu, Hawaii to compile it. His first album, Brushfire Fairytales, has been a huge hit. It has sold over 200,000 copies since its release in 2001.1 also have noticed great popularity and definitely big playtime on local radio stations as well as nationwide recognition on Billboards.com. I was surprised to see such a laid back gathering of people at the concert. It was more like a party gathering than a concert. There was no certain demographic at the concert. I saw fans as young as gradeschool age and all the way up to people that looked to be my parent's age. There were definitely many college students .from all sorts of local colleges and universities. My group consisted of CSUSM students as well as SDSU students. We all enjoyed the intimate setting where we felt relaxed and "CALIFORNIA J D/PMD - H istory o r P o l i t i c a l S c i e n c e t l M - T rial A d v o c a c y M CL/LLM - C omparative L a w OF CONCENTRATION C hild, F amily, E lder L a w K y s tic e l u a !

I was not suggesting that we just eliminate these "ethnic" literature pieces from being studied; I was saying that these pieces should be included in the American Literature class because the authors are just as American as any of the other authors that are currently included. For instance, Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense", was born and raised in England, but his work is commonly found in the "Regular" American Literature class. What makes him more American than let's say Hamden Connecticut born and raised Ruth Ozeki, who wrote "My Year of Meats," a book often read in the Multiethnic American Literature 450 class. Why should she be considered a Multi-Ethnic American individual and Paine By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer As the November 5th election rapidly approaches, we need to educate ourselves about the candidates and issues. That is the major problem: we need to educate ourselves. No professors to lecture us. No mandatory readings to pump information into our heads. Self-education pushes us out of our comfort zone. It takes discipline. Ultimately, whom we vote for (or don't vote for) could be the deciding vote in an important legislation such as Congress's recent debate on war in Iraq. not? It is similar to implying that Paine, a man from England, has no ethnicity. It is asinine to have a class that separates "EthnicAmerican" pieces from "American" pieces, because what the university is saying by doing this is, that the authors in the plain old American Literature class have no ethnicities. In addition to this oversight, the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal, something we learned back in the Civil Rights movement is simply wrong. Also, why did you point out that the university catalog says that, "Literature 450 examines texts through thematic and historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying culture and historical circumstances?" Are you suggesting that in American Literature 309A and 309B that the university disregards the varying historical and cultural changes that were occurring during the American Revolution, the treatment of the Native Americans, contemporary politics are not youth-oriented. True, politicians intentionally gear their ad campaigns and discussions towards the older generation of voters, knowing full well that only 32 percent of voters aged 18 to 24 turned out to vote in the 1996 presidential election. Which one should come first: politicians directing issues towards young voters, or young voters making an appearance on voting day? As soon as students take a more proactive approach to voting, and simultaneously assuming the burden of a massive amount of votes, then the politicians will listen. and the narratives of the slaves? to connect their writing to one Have you ever taken any of these nation, they are, and should be classes? considered American.

Take taxes for example: Taxes are a fundamental part of America and will affect how the youth of this nation votes in the future. Why, then, should taxes not effect how much we vote presently? Another popular point of contention is that a single vote will not influence the outcome of an election. Contrary to this accepted notion, a single vote has more impact due to the Electoral College. Instead of mixing with 100 million votes across the country, the vote cast stays in the state of its voter. Each ballot compares exclusively with other Many young voters do not ballots from that state.

Fraternities and sororities didn't serve any purpose to me, and my reaction to those students who were in them was laughable. All of that changed this semester when an active fraternity member, who explained and help me to understand the purpose and meaning of a fraternity, befriended me. During the first couple weeks of school, you can't but help notice the huge signs of our fraternity and sorority's letters decorating the campus along with their members behind tables encouraging new students to join.

How many of us can actually name off at least six people (excluding family) that would have our backs as friends, no matter what! Most of us could only name off three if we are lucky. Therefore, after you have looked a little deeper behind the stereotype imposed upon fraternities you will start to understand the actual extent of them. I encourage anyone who is still wondering or is just curious to seek out your answers and quit believing in the same stereotypes that have been circulating for years. �W ar P anel W ay T oo S ubjective By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday, I attended the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) war forum held here on campus. I showed up expecting a stimulating and interactive discussion. Instead, I was subjected to a panel that said the same thing, just in different terms. If it was PAN's intention to educate the student body and raise the level of awareness as they claimed, they should have done it from an impartial viewpoint. Instead, the afternoon was nothing but a reflection of their liberal stance as a student union. debate is that mainstream media does not provide objectivity Overall, the forum was not and factual information in their open whatsoever. Several of broadcasts. Why, then, presthis reporter's questions remain ent a discussion that is simply unanswered due to the fact that slanted from a different angle? there was not a true opportunity Just as PAN member Steven to ask them.

I was not able an avenue for PAN to push their to collect so much as a single agenda, not for a round-table quote from a member of the lis- debate. teners. They never had a chance to ask questions, either. Several questions remain unrequited. If Iraq does have This was fine. However, one weapons of mass destruction, of the underlying themes of the and does ultimately decide to use them, how will history look at us if we sit back idly and do nothing? If Saddam gassed 10,000 of his own people to quell an uprising, are we justified in ousting him from power? After an attack on our own soil, are we warranted in retaliating with such force? None of these issues were remotely addressed. Especially at the collegiate level, we as Americans need to take pride in a democratic system that even allows for debates like this to take place. True democracy incorporates the voice of every- one. Clearly, this was not the case on Thursday. Don't misunderstand me. I believe the beauty of politics lies in its innate nature of contention. No one ever said democracy wouldn't be messy. However, if one side cries out that they are being treated unjustly, the answer is not to create a meeting of the minds where all the minds think alike. At the next student union sponsored debate, more attention and respect should be. granted to others' viewpoints. " Cal S tate S quares" R esponse In regard to the article in The Pride regarding Cal State Squares, it should be noted that the writer failed to complete her research on the questions posed during the game. Had she asked ASI what the source of their questions was, she would have found that all of our questions pertaining to the University came from the University Library Archives. As ASI believes that source to be reliable, we accept their informa- tion as accurate. In addition, in a conversation with Rick Moore, University Communications Director, and Barbara Bashein, VP for External Affairs, it was agreed that the official mascot of the University is the Cougar, not the Tukwut. The two are not the same.

Finally, I am sure you realize that in the original Hollywood Squares game, the individuals in the squares sometimes intentionally provide wrong answers to the questions, attempting to throw the contestants off. It is clear that the President of the University was doing this when he answered the question. To suggest otherwise is really unfounded and a stretch. In response to the second issue you raised, ASI is cognizant of how the Hollywood Squares game is played. Our original intent was to have only one round i n each game, and yes, we do realize that is a deviation from the original game. Our first game went much quicker than anticipated, so we decided to play three rounds in the second game to extend the time duration; thus, there was a difference You certainly have the right between the two games. to print whatever you choose. I am simply disappointed that your writer chose not to do the research on the article and then offered information to your readers that was inaccurate. I thought the integrity of the Pride writers was higher. Sincerely, Keith B. Keith Speers Executive Director Associate Students, Inc. Cal State San Marcos 760.750.4990 A Response to Keith Speers Letter This letter is a response to the letter that was sent to the pride by Keith Speers, regarding the article that written on Cal State Squares. I am the author of the article and sat in the crowd the day of the event. I wanted to respond to your concerns in the following way: In response to your comment about me not doing the research, I have no need to find out where you specifically got the answers to your questions. Just as you believed that you were lookiiig to a reliable source when finding your answers, I believed I was doing the same when asking Rick Moore, who is public relations for the university, who the mascot was of the university. He said himself that the Tukwut was the mascot. I asked specifically if the, the TUkwut, was the same thing as the cougar and was given the response of yes. Rick Moore now claims that he made a mistake and said that he was unaware that the two things were different. The fact that he did not know what the mascot of PS: I agree with Martha Sarabia. There are tons of Spanish speakSincerely, ers on this community and pubErman Gokcimen lishing articles in Spanish is not wrong for the sake of diversity. If there were over couple hundred the university was seems unacceptable to me being that he is in the position he is. In my article I quoted his response to my question. That is what he said, even if he is now saying that he was mistaken. My quote was accurate. Furthermore, the contestant answered the question with the response: "The Tukwut, the cougar," implying that the two were the same. You made no distinction to him to imply that they were different. Although it may not be in the rules of Hollywood Squares to clarify, when even Rick Moore answers the question wrong, you must know that you have asked a bad question. In regards to the first round being played wrong, I called your office and was told that it was supposed to be three rounds, but that you had made a mistake. otherwise. President Gonzalez had no business answering the question wrong that the university was founded. It looks bad on the part of the university for him to not answer that correctly, and he should have enough business sense to know that, regardless of the fact that it is occasionally done on Hollywood squares. It is absolutely not a stretch to state the fact of what happened at the game, and that's what I did. I never gave my opinion on the matter, but stated the fact that it occurred. I did plenty of research, and left out many other mistakes that were made, including multiple names being pulled out of the box at one time when the contestants were being drawn. I would appreciate if the next time you feel that the Pride misrepresents something, that you do YOUR research and find That is the exact thing I was out that your own office gave that told and I can not be responsible information to me! if I am given the wrong information by the source. If it was your S i n c e r e T 1y , initial intent to have only one Melissa Reed round in each game, your office was unaware of that and told me students on this campus who spoke Serbian, I would say, yeah go ahead and publish something Civan Erman Gokcimen in Serbian, but please, let's not President, International Club come up with ridiculous ideas just to oppose articles in Spanish. �Response to Crystal Rodriguez Critique In response to Crystal J. Rodriguez on the "Separate but Not Equal" article: I think you are missing the point. I don't think Melissa Reed has a "Utopianistic" view of American diversity. I think we can all agree that tolerance of diversity in America is not what it should be. However, one way off getting one step closer is to stop alienating certain cultures by lumping them together under the heading of "Ethnic". That says that cultures of African, Mexican or Japanese origin are different than "real" or "normal" (read: white) American culture. Literature and Writing majors should not be forced to take classes on Ethnic Literature; they should be forced to take classes on American Literature, which by definition should already include different backgrounds. Another option would be to not call any class "American" and give them all descriptive names such as I don't think the objective of an ethnic studies course is wrong. We should all have the opportunity to learn about knowledge piece of paper is probably valued more than the education itself.

Pride is correct, errors occurred Therefore, my conclusion is that during the "Cal State Squares" this was a comedy of errors. The conclusion leads to another question. How does ASI or the CSUSM administration remedy the errors? First, the ASI or administration admits the errors occurred and publicly apologizes to those adversely affected by those errors. Second, the ASI or administration awards those adversely affected the equivalent award then those previously awarded without adversely affecting those students already awarded. Third, when having future competitions, the ASI or administration selects individuals that are competent and can maintain the integrity of the competitions. I write to point out some misunderstandings in your story about "Cal State Squares." The initial question was "Is the Tukwut the official mascot of Cal State San Marcos?" The correct answer is no, because the Cougar is the mascot. paper won't mean very much.

Andrea McPhaul CSUSM student My name is Alex McKeirnan and i am a junior. I grew up speaking one language only, english, I live in the United States of America and the language of this country is english. I personally think that there should be no spanish section in the school newspaper, and to be fair there should be no other sections in different languages. I understand that some people grew up speaking spanish, but we are not in those countries, spanish is not the primary language in the USA. If the staff decides to put in a spanish section, then there should be a section in every other language represented at this school including, but not limited to: spanish, Serbian, german, french, japanese, tagalag, arabic, Chinese, etc...

A steady stream of students satisfied their appetites courtesy of the CSUSM Veterans' Association after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza. Association barbecue is unique in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a small group of CSUSM veterans got together to develop an event to benefit the campus. The result of their cooperation was not only the first barbecue, but also the genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully receive greater attention after the success of this year's BBQ. food.

Taylor also added, "It's a great opportunity for students to see the college layout." Cathy Munson, a San Marcos Middle School AVID professor, said that once these students get into college, they might be the only under-represented student in their classrooms. However, Munson explained that this conference gives the students an opportunity to be surrounded by students who are just like them. Jatziri Alarcon, a San Marcos Middle School student, described her experience at the conference. "It's cool because you get to know more about college and about what's better in the future," Alarcon said. " Ih.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft, and their new technologies to come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm, and many others. According tq Kerfoot, the new technologies that Microsoft plans to release have a substantial involvement with the Internet, and building what will be known as the Digital Economy, or connecting every business together. Over 50 people showed up to Academic Hall 115 Thursday night to hear a little insight on the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott Kerfoot. The presentation was co-hosted by Cal State San Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals (AITP).

Veterans from all branches of the armed services are represented. With roughly 600 veterans attending school at CSUSM, the association has the potential for even further growth. Navy veteran and association member Stan Johnson described the association as being in an early formative stage. Johnson said the association is currently in the process of developing a mission statement and the association members eventually hope to be able to provide assistance to veterans and their families. Some members of the CSUSM Veterans' Association, such as Treasurer Tom Watson, are currently on active duty in the military. Watson is participating in the Marine Enlisted Com- system and phone capabilities.

At the end of the event, free shirts, books, and software were given out, courtesy of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the overall goal of these new technologies is to make information available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. To do achieve this goal, all businesses need to be integrated into one interface, in order to boost AITP officer Aimee Friend efficiency and availability. This said, "AITP is a campus club and services have similar programs on campus.

Held just beyond Forum Plaza, between University Hall and the new Arts Building, the location was ideal for passing students to observe their peers laughing and having a great time. Overall, the scene was light and happy, and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat with sideline spectators. The competition consisted of four classic events, each a childhood favorite, yet with a contemporary spin. The first in a series of grueling feats of skill was Speed Twister. A member from each team battled with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister mats. Whoever was the last one standing on each one of the mats won points for their team. This was quickly followed by the old camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the event, each member from every team spun around seven times with the bat on their forehead, which was an oversized candle, and then had to slalom their way through a series of orange cones to touch a flag. Sprinting back to where they had begun was the only way to tag the next teammate inline. From there, the players moved on to a condensed Frisbee Golf match, where one member from each team took turns throwing a frisbee into a net trap about 20 yards away. Just as in regular golf, the least amount of throws won. After the adrenaline and energy from the relay before, the golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being tossed randomly like graduation caps. Thefinalportion of the contest was Speed Pumpkin Carving. As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic from a lopsided gourd; it was not merely speed that scored points, but quality as well. Some simply hacked out their Greek symbols, while other teams such as PAN went so f ar as to use a dragon stencil to produce an eye-catching image. Winners were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. First place was awarded to APSS, who received $100 for their efforts. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won $50. PAN won third place and received $25. The prizes went towards the club accounts.

A table off to the side boasted logo t-shirts that said Down Low, while three young men paced back and forth doing a quick microphone check, Right around 12:20 p.m. the music started and Freddie Laguna, Tony Laguna, and Kwaku Amoaku, other wise known as the hip-hop group "Down Low" took center stage. The hip-hop trio was brought on campus to help celebrate Cal State San Marcos' homecoming week.

Inspiring artist Anna O'Cain reveals her aesthetic and tactile motivations, capturing the essence of the maternal bond, within her art. O'Cain mixes visually stimulating, sensory art with an ounce of maternal flare in the pieces scheduled to exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series. She brings life to art by con- ceptualizing a box of mementos from her mother. A bit of life's instruction, a pinch of family matters and juicy tidbits of gossip demonstrate the range of her art exhibit The art show is scheduled to exhibit at Cal State San Marcos beginning Oct. 23rd and will run through the end of November.

Carmel Street - San Marcos, CA (Corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road & Hwy. 78) r*' P, Hm Mum 9# * ^ WW » w I I K m *Iw WK0 m LETTER TO THE EDITORS Dëar Pride, I just wanted to write Chris Martin about his review of "Red Dragon" and ask him why he believes that the film is, for all intents and purposes, a remake of "Manhunter?" I find that to be absolutely rediculous. When you remake a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with "Psycho," they just added color to Hitchcock's masterpiece. Other remakes follow the same plotting, but update it to modern settings and the like. With "Red Dragon," Brett Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. That's why the credits say based on the novel by Thomas Harris, not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann. Mann's film is a much looser adaptation than Ratners, and rather inferior, in my opinion. So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert, do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if you really believe that Ratner was remaking "Manhunter". I'd also like to know what you thought of the ending of the novel "Hannibal" compared to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público en general la exposición "El Arte Defiende". Esta muy particular exhibición de arte organizada por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo que dirige Michael Schnorr se está presentando en la Galería de Arte del Colegio Southwestern en Chula Vista hasta finales de mes. Se presentan trabajos de niños y jóvenes de la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana, así como también de algunos otros artistas que muestran en sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población. Para estimular la creatividad de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga les enseñan diferentes técnicas de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó que muchos niños piensan que no son capaces de dibujar o pintar un cuadro con valor estético pero que después de enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales utilizados para que puedan crear algo con facilidad y de una manera divertida, los niños se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo. El objetivo de los instructores es el de enseñarles una manera de expresar sus emociones. "La situación en Maclovio es muy difícil. Algunos niños no tienen casa, a otros los abandonaron sus papás, no van a la escuela, andan en las calles todo el día, cargan cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y otros venden drogas para poder comer. Entonces es importante el proporcionar a los niños una manera de expresión no verbal, ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a La galería de pinturas, fotografías y figuras plásticas forma la historia de los habitantes de ese lugar. Los jóvenes y niños plasman sus vivencias en muros hechos de puertas de cocheras. En cada uno de los trabajos que se pueden apreciar en esta exposición se encuentra el alma frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de un joven, de un niño o de un adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de todo tipo. El Taller de Arte Fronterizo puso en marcha un proyecto en Tijuana para defender a los habitantes de Maclovio Rojas. Como estrategia de ayuda surgió "El Arte Defiende", exhibición de arte que tiene como finalidad El dibujo de Jonathan. Foto por Martha Sarabia proteger a la comunidad a través del ingenio artístico. Como parte del proyecto, el Taller de Arte Fronterizo ha invitado a artistas internacionales y nacionales a convivir con la entidad de Maclovio Rojas para que plasmen sus experiencias a través de su creación artística. comunidad autónoma, que sus líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue envolviendo con la comunidad y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir el Centro de Arte Comunitario Aguascalientes. Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que han estado asistiendo a impartir clases de artes plásticas y pintura a la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas. Huato es estudiante de Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego. Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos son profesores y una pintora del Taller de Arte Fronterizo. Todos ellos trabajan con la comunidad, especialmente con los jóvenes y Aguiñiga empezó a colaborar con el Taller de Arte Fronterizo hace cuatro años y medio. Ella cuenta que el proyecto se inició con la idea preliminar de realizar una pintura de Maclovio Rojas. A Aguiñiga le interesó el hecho de que Maclovio era una Maqueta de la comuñidad Maclovio Rojas. Foto por Martha Sarabia Para Huato, es muy importante que ellos se puedan expresar a través del arte, pero también es uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura. "El crear una forma de arte para que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy bueno, pero más que nada es pintar para desahogarse, ellos pasan por problemas que uno nunca se imagina. Para mí el arte es expresión y para ellos debe de ser también," expresó Huato con una actitud optimista. De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor experiencia ha sido el pintar los murales con el grupo de jóvenes. "Todas las actividades eran en la noche y era muy divertido, parecía como que temamos fiesta. Es uno de los mejores recuerdos que tengo," expresó Huato. Huato también habló de la pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la cual realizó con colores de agua. "La forma en que él la pintó me dejó anonadada porque no me imaginaba las cosas que él era capaz de pintar. Es una pintura abstracta, lo que es muy difícil para un niño. Me impresionó el talento que tiene, así que le sigo dando material para que continúe pintando."

After a dazzling reverse from #21 LaDainian Tomlinson to #85 Tim Dwight the Chargers opened tip the first quarter 7-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The momentum was in favor of the Chargers, however with turnovers caused by fumbles and interceptions, the Chiefs capitalized on the errors and led at the end of the second quarter by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs. As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would get very close to the red zone, but were never able to score due MACLOVIO from page 8 un papel. "Eso es lo que es abstracto.

The turnover resulted in seven points for the Chiefs, which left the Score in the game Chargers 7, Chiefs 17. Just when the Chargers looked as if they were going to lose the game, the Charger's defense racked up a key interception that left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone. The Chargers benefited from the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice for the inzone and score another touchdown that made the score Chargers 14, Chiefs 17. Within those two rushes by Tomlinson, the amount of determination the Charger's offensive linemen had to help their running back reach the endzone. Also, these two rushes by Tomlinson were not simple runs because he had to la mentalidad que yo tema.

This determination and second efforts by the Chargers displayed their will to win. Towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was delivered by Chiefs quarterback Trent Green who increased the Chief's score by seven, and then the Charger's battled back with a hand off to #80 Curtis Conway, which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24. Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with a brilliant pass from Green to Tony Gonzalez that turned into a touchdown reception.

SEND AN EMAIL TO pride@csusm.edu AND VOICE YOUR OPINION. Dear Martha Sarabia, I had to take the time and express my admiration and respect for your writing. I enjoy your Spanish section, specially your response to the letter sent by Amy. I love the way you defended why we should have a Spanish section. You were professional and clever. I am looking forward to reading your next Spanish section. Thank you, Sonia Torres Junior Service Sector Management major �Response to "Speak Up to Your Government" Mr. Mann: I just got done reading your piece to about the President and the war on Terror, and I must say, you couldn't be more wrong about everything here! You say we've lost some personal freedoms, like what? Are you upset because you have to arrive at the airport another 30 minutes early since 9-11-01? Wow, that's a real tragedy. But I will take your advice on speaking to our leaders. I'm going to write the President and tell him how grateful I am for his realistic stance on terrorism. I've got news for you Mr. Hi Pride people, First I want to say that the layout of this week's issue was very impressive. You're all doing an awesome job and should be proud of yourselves. I was somewhat perturbed about the Opinion pages, though. I guess it's ideal for former editors to keep their lips shut regarding current editorial decisions, but I rarely speak out against certain Pride-related issues unless I feel they are important. So I hope you don't look at this as a "former-editor-butting-in," but rather another CSUSM student expressing her opinion about her student paper. In a past issue of the paper Pam Horner wrote a letter expressing her distaste for the "Mucky Mouse" cartoon; Desmond Barca's response, however, appeared in the same issue as Horner's letter. In this week's issue, Amy Granite wrote a letter where she disagreed with the editorial staff's choice to include Spanish articles; Martha Sarabia's 10 years with Hussein and nothing has worked. It should be crystal clear to you that Mann: there are evil people in he is another Adolph Hitler in this world such as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Adolph the making. In addition, guys Hitler, etc... who NEVER listen to reason or negotiation. The m only way to stop them from POLITICAL doing more evil is to destroy COIMMENTARY them. Look at Saddam Husr sein; this psychopath has never acquired a weapon that he has like him are the reason that: not used (in 1988 he gassed if you want peace, you have 10,000 of his own people to stop to be willing to fight for it. a rebellion).

Well, please As the president said last allow me to enlighten you on Monday, we've tried every dip- how our government/military lomatic approach for the past really works. As a veteran of the response, however, appeared in I know you're all busy, but if the same issue as Granite's letter. you have any responses for me regarding the editorial policy Now from what I've seen with on this subject, I'd love to hear most newspapers {and if I'm it. I hope my point made sense. wrong, please correct me) readers If it didn't, let me know and I'll and editorial staff typically don't clarify respond to letters until after they have been published; as a reader Please remember that this letter I admire this decision because doesn't come with any ill will, it gives readers like myself a especially since I have a special chance to reflect on the opinions respect for the paper and for of the writer and read his/her members of the editorial staff. perspective. When the next issue comes around I look forward to Best regards, the disagreement and debate that Vicky Segall usually follow opinion letters. With the previously mentioned letters, however, it seemed like Horner and Granite's arguments Hi Vicky, were weakened because of immediate responses from the Thank you for your letter. editorial staff. I was curious if the rest of the student body has the same privilege as the editorial staff and may review and respond to letters before they are published? It doesn't seem fair, and I just wanted to throw this opinion out there. We hadn't really considered the points that you mentioned; we all thought that it would be interesting to have a public dialogue going back and forth in the same issue as well as in consecutive issues. In our eagerness to generate debate we may have overlooked, to some degree, the connotations of our decision. US Army, I can tell you that we go out of our way - more than any other nation in world history - to avoid civilian casualties. The reason that innocent people die is because guys, like Hussein and bin Laden, prefer to hide behind women and children. Why... because they know we won't attack. If you don't believe me, go to Camp Pendleton and ask some of the marines if I'm right. rebuilt their nations for them after WWII? Do you think Hitler would have rebuilt America for us had the Nazis won? Think about it Mr. Mann. Thanks to the courage of our military, (people who voluntarily give up their constitutional rights so you can have yours), we live in the freest country on the planet. And I can't help but laugh when a GRAD STUDENT whines and complains about And how do we exploit other the very country that gives him people Mr. Mann, by spread- the right whine and complain. ing democracy and rebuilding somebody's country for them? That's ridiculous. Dp you think Briän Dobbins, senior the Germans, Italians, and Japa- communications nese felt exploited because we As we're sure you know, readers are quick to criticize the paper and the editors are always on the defensive. It is true that we have taken some advantage of our editorial positions, however we think this is balanced to some degree by the fact that the students who write in are on the offensive, and are not subject to public scrutiny on a weekly basis. Criticism is healthy and appreciated; it means that we as editors have to be able to advocate and show justification for what we are doing. However, being under constant attack takes some getting used to. readers lose interest or shift their attention to newer issues. Two weeks interest fades, both on the part of the letters' authors and on the part of the editors. You ask if the rest of the student body has the same privileges as the editorial team. We can't avoid reading the letters before everyone else; waiting to respond would be a pretense. Daily papers respond as soon as possible and that is usually the next day. However, we are a weekly paper and therefore issues of last week are too old for this week. As the old Mexican saying goes, "No dejes para mañana lo que The idea of waiting until the puedes hacer hoy." Don't put off next issue to respond is attractive until tomorrow what could be because it may create anticipation done today. for our readers, help to captivate them, and ultimately keep them Thanks again for bringing this to picking up the paper/ However, our attention. as we are a weekly paper and not a daily, the letters we receive The Pride Editorial Team are published in response to issues that are already a week We encourage people who agree old. We feel that by responding or disagree with our response to immediately to the letters, we write to us. can address these issues before Response to "Separate but not Equal" This is in response to the article "Separate But Not Equal" by Melissa Reed in the September 24th paper. Melissa, while I applaud your "utopianistic" view on American Society in regards to diversityr I have to say I think it is extremely distorted. Before you jump on the defensive side I want you to know that I truly wish that our society were indeed as tolerant of diversity as you perceive it, but unfortunately it is not. I noticed that you yourself said in your article that, "as a Literature and Writing major... I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity." If the classes were not mandatory, would you have taken them simply out of scholarly interest? Probably not which is why the University chooses to make these t roes of classes mandatory. There are many people, just like you, who instead of celebrating cultural differences look at them negatively as hindrances. Recognizing and accepting cultural differences is what diversity is about. While you may not feel more "connected" to a member of another race or ethnicity after class, you should at least feel like you have a better understanding about their experiences and perspectives. And we all need to learn about these experiences and perspectives as they are extremely different depending on one's ethnic background. We have to be realistic and admit that there is no such thing as a same "across the board" American experience in terms of ethnicity. This is what classes like LTWR 450: Multiethnic American Literature portray. To say that classes like this are a slap in the face — classes that give everyone a chance to study literature which is no doubt based upon the different experiences, good and bad, that result from us living in a diverse society — is a total disregard for diversity. Literature" could not possibly fit the course objective of LTWR 450. While this class' goal is to compare writings from various ethnic groups found here in America, it also says that it " ... examines texts through thematic and/or historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying cultural and historical circumstances." (pg. 268, CSUSM University Catalog). Imagine trying to study the American Civil War from one ethnic perspective. It's impossible because you have, the perspective of the slave owner and then that of the slave. The fact that you do not understand nor recognize cultural diversity as celebrating our differences in an equal manner, and does not necessarily constitute any separation, shows the lack of progress in cultural diversity and maybe even the failure of the classes to do what they were created to do. extent still are, diverse in terms of population, people were not always as accepting, as maybe you were, of the idea of ethnic diversity. I have yet to be made more aware of my multicultural background than when I lived* in New York. And while someone's ethnic background might not have been discussed at your family's dinner table, believe me, it was being discussed at many others. Lastly I would like to address your idea of "incorporation". Let's first get this straight. There is a huge difference between incorporation and assimilation. To just lump all literature, or even culture under the title of "American" would be a disservice and a blatant disregard to those members of the many ethnicities that have contributed to the greatness of America. You cannot expect people to simply label themselves as American especially when they I also grew up in New York have not always been treated City and while neighborhoods as such. And that is a story may have been, and to some that needs to be told from as To simply title a class "American many perspectives as possible. Instead of looking at diversity as a separatist idea, accept it as a necessary way to foster tolerance and as a means to possibly achieve real and total equality. I applaud the University f or its dedication to the idea of diversity and encourage the powers that be to do more to bring about an enthusiastic understanding and acceptance of our culturally diverse society. I also challenge CSUSM students to participate in the understanding of diversity by voluntarily taking classes that foster acceptance and celebrate our differences. By doing this, more people will see that these classes do not perpetuate separatist views but instead at best, create a sense of unity and at the very least, produce a higher level of understanding.

Photo by Desmond Barca. For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San Marcos, the window-painting contest was a hit. The theme chosen this year was simply "Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were displayed on the windows around Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th. The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was chosen as the winner of the 2002 window-painting contest by the Homecoming Planning Committee. Claudia Pawlowski and Justin Knott were the artistic talent that created the window painting next to the coffee cart that won the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and member of the CSUSM Veterans Association, portrayed a cougar on the prowl beside an American Flag, as well as the theme boldly stated at the top of the window. Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's Studies Student Association, Asian Pacific Student Society, Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student organizations that participated in this artistic adventure. The Homecoming Planning Committee members, who voted independently, chose the winner. Then, Wright tallied all the votes to come up with the grand-prize winner. Wright. said, "Besides some added exposure to the campus via a non-traditional form of advertising, the winner received a $25.00 credit to their student organization account."

As part of his witty charm, Edmonds built an atmosphere of joviality throughout the day of rituals. Edmonds9 magnetism made the rhythm of the ceremony one of honor and fun. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer When an eagle feather falls, a veteran dances close by and protects it from being trampled upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). The theme of the 10th Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), offered a glimpse of protection from the traditions of generations old and new by honoring passed heroes. The Pow Wow gave truth to the natural essence of spirituality with the ambience of ritual customs. The steady beat of drums echoed through the inner circle. The beat of the center drum circle, led by Hale and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor. Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi- Native American dancer at the Pow Wow. Photo by Tristan Nickey The Pow Wow's powerful, rhythmic procession gave life to the honoring of heroes. An amazing chorus of drums thundered under the heat of the heavy sun. American Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders who passed away, "Uncle" Henry Rodriguez and Chet Hunt. The Pow Wow honored Rodriguez and Hunt for their ever-vigilant support, exemplary leadership and teachings. Karin Giron-DeCrane said, "OurHerpes have taught us many lessons...to remember that we never do anything alone." The congregation of gatherers stood in silence for a moment of blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous day, and prayed for the safety of people. Once the blessing of the inner circle concluded, only Native American Indians entered into the circle. Edmonds made light of the situation by joking, "If you are white and you enter the blessed circle you will go straight to hell."

Lee pointed out that some of the dropped students had owed the school money for several years -receiving an education without having paid for it.

This figure amounts to just Students received official over eight percent of the 28,000 students enrolled at Palomar this notices by mail and from teachers during class sessions to the sursemester. prise of many. However, many According to the Director of students said that the college did Enrollment Services, Herman not provide adequate notice, and Lee, students who failed to pay are outraged that Palomar would choose to take this kind of action so far into the semester rather than waiting until winter break. News of this policy change failed to reach many students. Students are complaining; they assumed that their accounts were in good standing, and many did not even know there was a problem until they were dropped. Many insist that they followed the proper procedures and their payment problems were a result of mistakes made by Palomar, "I paid my fees in person weeks ago, first they said that they owe me money, now they're saying I owe them nine dollars and I'm dropped from all my classes until I pay," said Kristian Smock. "They have been giving me the runaround for over a week and now I'm so far behind I wonder if it is even worth trying to get back in." Smock also said that he had heard of other students being dropped for owing the school less than four dollars. Though according to Lee, any AIDS Testing Available at SHS By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer SHS is a student clinic that offers a broad range of services from AIDS testing to seasonal flu shots. SHS will be giving anonymous, free,AIDS tests on Wednesdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. beginning Sept 11th until further notice to all registered students who may be interested. Registered students may plan scheduled as well as walk-in appointments. If there is any reason in one's mind about the possibility of having the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or known exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus known to cause AIDS, students might want to take advantage of anonymous AIDS testing available at Student Health Services (SHS), located Those afraid of needles or across the camps on the corner seeing their own blood drawn of Craven and Twin Oaks in suite 100 of the San Marcos Ambula- can avoid the needle when getting their anonymous AIDS test tory Care Center. at the SHS clinic. SHS performs an oral AIDS test, known as the Orasure test. The Orasure test involves swabbing the inner cheek of the patient with a harmless instrument, commonly a swab on a stick. This breaks off cells from the inner cheek, which are then tested for HIV. For students who are not sure about how common AIDS can be or how it can be contracted, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides facts that are commonly overlooked. According to die CDC, California ranks 14th among all states in North America in percentage of people infected with the AIDS virus. Los Angeles and San Francisco lead the state as carriers of the virus, and San Diego does not rank in the top 10 cities in the United States. Overall, as of June 2001, North America has 800,000 - 900,000 people living with AIDS, which is 0.3 per cent of the United States total population. Less developed countries such as Africa have higher statistics due to lack of See TESTING, page 12 student owing more than $12 in unpaid fees was administratively dropped. Another Student, Mark Cunningham, said he was dropped along with a half dozen other students upon entering his classroom.

"It angers me that my weekend was disturbed by administrative incompetence," said Cunningham, who needed a signature for his add slip, and drove out to his instructor's house on a Sunday to meet the Sept. 27th deadline (which was later pushed back indefinitely). During the past three years, Palomar College has been in the process of updating their computing and communication systems. CSUSM students who have transferred from Palomar may remember the open trenches and temporary telephone polls that littered the Palomar campus in recent years. Many students remember the system's renovations and the inconveniences associated with the admissions office during the transition. Due to the renovation, Palomar was not able to track students who failed to pay their fees. Now that Palomar can track these students, the administration is returning to its previous policy of dropping students who have a balance due. In recent years, students had been allowed to pay their fees up to two weeks into the semester.

Ideas about what happens after the food is swallowed seem to get lost in the appealing prospect of having a meal handed in through the car window for less than a buck. According to ABCnews.com, "Residents of the United States spend more on fast food a year than they do movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and records combined." This amounts to over $110 billion annually. But as the nation grows more obese and unhealthy, it may be increasingly appropriate to examine Americans' propensity to support the fast food industry. And support it they do. The office of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S." When considering that the last official Census Bureau (www.census.gov) count for the U.S. population was 281,421,906, this means there is one fast food restaurant for about every 900 people in the country. At least one quarter of them is apt to stop in to one of these fast food establishments for a meal at least once per day, according to CBS HealthWateh. Americans Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, said, "The United States eats the most fast food in the world." While this is not the most profound statement and is unlikely, to shock the masses, it is certainly worthy of analysis. The entire world seems to recognize that in the U.S., people relish supersize, ready in under a minute, bite-swallow-and-go meals.

Most people think that a resume is a summary of their college career. If that were true, 95 percent of the resume would consist of beer drinking and partying. A resume need not include everything you did in the course of your college career. When looking for a job in the field of chemistry, a person might not want to include drinking beer out of funnels, drinking shooters out of test tubes, or micro brewing your own beer and using yourself as a guinea pig as work experience.

George Oiye had a happy childhood and grew up visiting the historic headquarters of the Missouri -River, the starting point of the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Later, in his twenties, Oiye attended Montana State College where he studied mechanical and aeronautical engineering. In college, he also participated in ROTC (Reserve Officers in Training Corps) where he was captain of the college rifle team. He fit the perfect profile for a man with a promising military future, except for the fact that this was 1941, the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor, and George Oiye is a Japanese American. and military record, Oiye was classified by the United States government as a 4C, an enemy unfit for military service. Of this time, Oiye states, "I felt like a man without a country." But then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind the 4C order, thus allowing him, and some 15,000 other Japanese Americans, to reinstate their active duty military status. Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which happens to be the most highly decorated combat unit of its size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go for Broke" regiment, because of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and the 522nd were comprised of mainland Japanese Americans and Japanese Hawaiians. The regiment has been credited with Despite his college academic breaking the "Gothic Line," an area of German fortified strong TESTING from page 3 points located in the mountains north of Florence Italy. This group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also been credited with helping to penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps throughout Europe. As a forward observer, Oiye himself has been credited with spotting an enemy gun from an observation point 14,000 feet up and calling in Naval artillery support from sea to knock it out. In all, his team participated in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns throughout Italy, France and Germany, 5 of which Oiye was directly a part. His team was also instrumental in the rescue of the 'Lost Battalion,' where he and, his fellow soldiers suffered 850 casualties to save a unit of 223 Texans. Their defining victory occurred when they liberated the concentration camp survivors in Dachau, Germany (the location of Hitler's first concentration camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these men were thousands of miles away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide, many of their own families had been involuntarily interned in camps in the United States, due to the Pearl Harbor tragedy. On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about his experiences as an American soldier both before and after the war. He commented on the strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the soldiers from mainland Japan did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/ was worse than all the grenades and bullets, because he had to live with these men. For Oiye,. mainland return was a fate worse than battle. The problem was that many Americans simply could not accept the fact that Japanese Americans could have possibly helped in winning the war. It was so bad that even as a decorated veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for several years. But yet, after all of the mistreatment he endured by the same country whose values he risked his life to protect, when asked about his own identity as an American, Oiye remarked in a most stoic manner, "After your first bayonet fight with the enemy, you know you're an American." Now eighty years old, Oiye is a retired engineer and public speaker and can be seen in many documentaries and television interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World War II. 1 should put the cumulative.

For Poullard, creating this environment means that a campus should "deal with all the components of a student's life: academic, emotional, physical, and social"— and that if a school "only deals with one component it is not serving the students well." * A+Subs 760 D.

Poullard said that students should come to him for anything, "And I mean anything," he said. Upon getting the details of the concern or grievance, his first step is to call the appropriate office and explain the student's situation, after which Poullard directs the student to the correct office for resolution. * f"a water i | Case of 24 m IfwAAuT W W ^^^rn^mSm Cliff or Luna Assorted i Any Longs Brand Item j Bars 4 0% OFF! cents each S4J9+CIV !

Although some variation exists, "Red Dragon," directed by Brett Ratner, is for all intents and purposes a remake of Michael Mann's 1986 cult classic Manhunter. Both films have been adapted from the Thomas Harris book "Red Dragon," and accurately represent the novel, albeit in different ways. With its dark and alien cinematography and score, Manhunter grittily explores the deranged mind of a killer and the man that hunts him, whereas the more modern installment comes equipped with a star studded cast, goes into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds and offers a more true representation of the book. Actor Ralf Fiennes as Francis Dolarhyde. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. games employed are top notch and keep you on your feet. When a series of savage murders occur, FBI agent Will Graham (played by Edward Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack Crawford (played by Harvey Keitel), to help catch the killer. The villain, Francis Dolarhyde (played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous combination of intelligence and lunacy accompanied with a rather intimidating physical demeanor. Graham realizes early on that he is going to require assistance in order to attempte a successful capture. Just like Clarice in "The Silence of the Lambs," Graham Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. must also venture into the mind of Lecter in order to put an end to the killing spree. In so doing, Graham allows himself to be reciprocally probed by the renowned man-eating psychologist. For anyone with an interest in criminal psychology or pathology this film along with its predecessor and the novel are a must. The imagery is brutal, without being overly gory. The atmosphere is intense, and refuses to let you go. And the mind Actor Ed Norton as FBI Agent Will Graham. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. Although I didn't get a strong feeling of semblance among cast members, I do think that the performances by Hopkins and Fiennes were strong, to say the least. Even though the role of Will Graham is complex, I felt as if Norton's performance was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however, add a great deal of depth to this film. An especially compelling performance by Emily Watson as Dolarhyde's unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air. Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton, the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds constituted the perfect guy you love to hate. Whatever this film lacked, as far as performances are concerned, it made up for in suspense and story line. As I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the work of Thomas Harris, I must implore you to not only see this film, but also "Manhunter," "The Silence of the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If you liked these films even a little bit, read the books, because they shed light on the formation of the character's personalities in the realest sense, the way Harris intended. �Sweet Home Alabama: More Than Just a Chick-Flick what's ironic about this situation In order to proceed with her is that the movie itself happens marriage to Andrew, she must to appeal to more than one audi- return to Alabama and finalize ence—the other being males. her divorce with Jake and also reveal to her parents her recent Reese Witherspoon as the decision to get married.

The Halloween Haunt has come a long way from where it began back in 1973, with only a few employees in costumes. Today, more than a million yards of scare cloth, 10,000 gallons of makeup, and 5,000 gallons of imitation blood have been used to decorate the cast in preparation for this annual event. performances is the Ghouls Gone Wild Magic and Dance Show, starring magician Ed Alonzo. This supercharged, sexy, and very controversial show includes a number of popular songs acted out on stage. The audience cheered on as women danced around poles and acted out the popular Nelly song, "It's Getting' Hot in Here," and if you know the words, then you can imagine what came next. This show is definitely not for children due to the adult themes, content, and humor. Nearly 52,000 people attended the opening weekend, with numbers expecting to double as the month nears Halloween. To accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new shows and mazes were added to the haunting line-up. Other shows include bizarre circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy. Zamora, the Torture King, along with his entourage, as seen in the Guiness Book of World Records and Ripley's "Believe It or Not," performs four shows a night. The The most popular of all the show begins with a warning that m m all those who are weak of stomThis year brings forth more ach should leave, since the per- attractions than years past, formance consists of the inges- with eleven mazes filled with aliens, vampires, and evil mutants.

Also new for 2002, the "Curse of the Spider" has taken over the area where the haunted shack once stood and offers more than meets the eye. tion of live insects, the stapling of body parts, and the insertion of metal wires through muscle tissue. Also available for guests' entertainment are personal tarot card readings, pyrotechnic and laser displays, and several freaks of nature, such as the Human Jigsaw Puzzle and giant 8-foot tall Zandrini. The Underground, Blood Bayou, Army of the Underworld, Red Moon Massacre, Horrorwood Fright Festival, Alien Attack, Lore of the Vampire, and Inquisition all offer screams and chills around every corner. Some are themed with twisted versions of fairytale characters gone bad while others thrive on the fear of more traditional characters, such as werewolves, vampires, and aliens. The most crowded attractions seem to be the Army of the Underworld and Red Moon Massacre, so if visitors plan to go, they should hit those attractions first. Furthermore, the longest lines during opening weekend did not exceed an hour and a half and some lines were short enough to walk immediately in. Although there have been more monsters in years past, the Halloween Haunt continues to get the job done. Nowhere else in Southern California are there more screams, curses, and haunts. Halloween Haunt is open every Thursday through Sunday until Nov. 2nd, and closing hours vary depending on the day. The cost is $38 for pre-sale tickets and $42 at the door.

BLT drew the audience deeper into the film with its active direction as well as the well-written characters. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) opened its doors to collaborative passions, desires, characters, and the inspiring direction of artistic creation. The SDAFF created a controversial buzz, making this year's festival an overall success. Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by creating a booming non-profit film festival in order to showcase Asian artistic talents. Opening night began when Kim emphatically spoke of her number one project, the SDAFF. With a slow beginning, the SDAFF opened three years ago with little notice but instead with a dream to establish an environment of support and collective collaboration of artistic creation. Kim excitedly spoke of the growing success of a film festival in a notoriously difficult locale. She expressed concern that San Diego has been a difficult venue forfilmfestivals.

Lin took a substantial risk in the making of BLT by using his credit cards as a primary source for the budget. Due to the difficult budget size, creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the making of the movie. Lin and the crew envisioned a film for an Asian cast to break through stereotypical barriers. BLT has the potential to open a wide venue for Asians to play larger roles that do not include the stereotype in which Asians typically become characterized.

I was upset for several reasons to see that this section is written completely in Spanish. First of all, the Spanish Section completely defies the purpose of journalism. It is a newspaper's job to effectively communicate the news in a way that can be understood to those with an elementary level reading skill. One might assume that everyone at the university surpasses this level of reading comprehension, but it is unacceptable to assume that everyone fluently reads Spanish. It does not take a genius to realize that there is a significant population of students that do not speak or read Spanish, and I find this offensive and discriminatory. I am part of the student population that does not speak Spanish, and because of this I am unable to understand even the titles of the articles because they too are in Spanish. The content of the Spanish Section includes information concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated a portion of readers by assuming that the non-Spanish speakers or readers are not interested in the news in this section. I understand that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has English as a second language. These students were driven* to learn a second language so that they could have the same opportunities as English speaking students, and because of their hard work, obtained a level of competency that allowed them acceptance into the university. the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic community. I see this section as a problem because myself, as well as other students, have been excluded from reading a section of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available for all students to understand. The Spanish section of The Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an area that the Latino community has struggled with for so long. Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if any group should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community. I see the same problem having a German section or Asian section strictly written in those languages in the newspaper as well. The bottom line here is that this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM Amy Granite by preventing them from reading Sophomore, majoring in comthe articles. I would be interested munications in knowing what these articles I realize that we have a diverse are about, and I am sure other student body at CSUSM, but it is students feel the same way. R esponse t o S panish S ection By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor ¡Hola a todos! Primero que nada quisiera agradecer a todos los lectores de los artículos en español de The Pride y a todos aquellos que nos han felicitado por jesta sección. Esta sección al parecer ha creado algunas inconformidades. I*o cual me hace go back to business or to be more specific yet to respond to a recent letter received by the editorial staff. I, Martha Sarabia, currently one of two lead editors of The Pride as well as the editor of the Spanish section of our student newspaper want to clarify any misunderstandings created by having a Spanish section in The Pride. More specifically, the letter I am responding to was sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be answered. (I would also like to point out that I know this student and I really like her. Last year she was a member of The Pride staff. So, hi Amy!) Before I answer Amy's letter, I have a couple of things tp say by way of a preface: Spanish is my native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my life were pronounced in Spanish. This language is therefore a very big part of who I am today. This is why it is a privilege for me to promote my language to the CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this as a sign of discrimination. This was never our intention. But, oh well, what can we do? We can't please everyone. But now some basic points: many non-native speakers in our school that are studying Spanish, many of them even pursuing a Spanish major or minor. Then there's the group that studied abroad in Spain during this past summer: 90% were non-native speakers. I know this because I was part of this program. It feels great to know that so many First of all, journalism is not people are open minded as well a career exclusively pursued in as interested in other cultures English; it is practiced in almost and languages^ every language in the world.

It is not an unreasonable request that all students at CSUSM be able to read the articles in the school paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation would be to include the same articles in English side by side with those written in Spanish. the Spanish-speaking community instead of just what I have written as an individual?

This leads to my fifth point: You mentioned, "if any group* should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community." I have news for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in any way responsible for this section. It was the decision of The Pride editorial team. Simply because I belong to this group and I am in charge of this section does not mean that whatever I do represents the Latino community or is something that the Latino community wants me to do.

President George Bush has been gradually taking on more power in the name of the War on Terrorism, and at the same time removing more of our personal freedoms.

The most talked about issue since students returned to CSUSM, parking, is turning yet another page in its growing saga. One of the latest developments was that on Sept. 26 , curb parking was planned to be discontinued and would no longer be allowed. However, information recently released by Parking Services states that the allowance of curb parking would continue after Sept. 26 , th th Coordinator of Parking Services Patti Hale was not available for comment, but according to information obtained in the Parking Services office, "Due to the overwhelming amount of vehicles on campus, Emergency Curb Parking will continue until Parking Services explores other alternatives." However, no information was given on what or when these other alternatives will be explored. The only day curb parking will not be permitted is parking, and curb parking.

It seems that until Parking Services can develop a plan to accommodate all of the vehicles on campus, curb parking will remain an inevitable part of life at CSUSM. News Feature HME page 3-4 Arts.

Last fall, for example, we th enrolled sixty-eight percent of the previous spring. I think the improved continuation rate could be seen as a positive reflection of the quality of education our students are receiving here." In addition to the large increase in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued in the fall, the reason for the increase in students is based on other factors as well. According to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the growing public image are some of the main attractions to first time freshmen. The weakened job economy and tighter job market might be partially responsible for the improved continuation rate from last spring. All campuses in the CSU system are experiencing similar unexpected growth, so it is a statewide phenomenon." Compared to the Fall 2002, there were about 700 who applied, and now the school already has 1,200 prospective students who have applied for Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400 students on an annual average. The unofficial count on students for this semester is 7,600 and this will be either confirmed or changed with the census count that was held at the end of September and will be released in early October. Riehl did not say what they will do if the number of students admitted reaches school capacity. Although the requirements to get into CSUSM are the same, Riehl said that there is still a need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San Marcos to apply early and make sure that they have all the docu- TENURE from page 1 Brodowsky, Assistant Professor account of her many good o Marketing, and S Vourlitis and Thomas Wahlund Afssistant Professortephen Zera, qualities. of Finance, from the Biology Department; as new Associate Professors with Some awardees were not and Robert Yamashita from the tenure. able to attend due to health Liberal Studies Department. problems or because they Dean arion Reid from he From the College of Busi- Library Mnd Information Ster- were otfeaching classes at the a ness Administration, Dean vices recognized Jacqueline time the ceremony.

There are no plans for preferential enrollment at this time, and both transfer students as well as incoming freshmen will be viewed as equals in the admittance process, Riehl said. Applicants in all class levels, who meet the requirements, will be admitted as long as their application arrives before the deadline.

Every year the Academic Senate designates a nominating committee to select one faculty member to be recognized by this award. This year, nominations are due to the committee by Thursday, Nov. 7. Full time and part time Cal State San Marcos faculty are eligible to be nominated by current or former students, by colleagues, or by staff members. For those interested in submitting a nomination in recognition of an exceptional professor, the following information may be useful, as laid out by the university official procedural guide, found at: http://lynx.csusm.edu/policies/ procedure_online.asp?ID=90. The individual nominating a professor must submit a letter to the Senate Office documenting how the nominee is known, a statement of her/his qualifications as an outstanding professor, and, if a student, the courses taken from the nominee. f All of the professors wishing to accept their nomination then must compile a great deal of documentation on their contributions to their academic field, their students, and the A+ Saubsand teachers.

University officials hope this library will become the focal of the school. However, unless Proposition 47 passes this coming November, the library will have a problem with becoming fully laden with the equipment needed for this possible state-of-the-art facility. CSUSM's new Kellogg Library will be a 200,000-square-foot facility compared to the current library, which is 28,000 ft. This new library has the promise of being a focal point for the whole of the North County community. The new facility will have space for 78 computers in the Reference area and a 100-seat open computer lab, along with 1,500 reader stations wired for the Internet and broad wireless capability that will allow users to V\ route for contingency funding."

The Brown Bag World Music Concert Series is a part of the fall schedule for the Arts & Lectures events on campus. The week started fiercely with the audacious, and at times overwhelming, sound of the North Australian Didjeridu. The Aboriginal native instrument, created of a hollowed eucalyptus tree limb, was used to create sounds native to the animals of Australia. Randy Graves, master instrumentalist of the Didjeridu, used the primal instrument to tell adventurous stories from the animal point of view.

The Scream Zone is the largest haunted attraction in San Diego, featuring 12,000 square feet of 3-D thrills. Each year the event features a new theme, and this year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein." This year the Scream Zone was designed and hand painted by former Disney 3-D expert, R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects take the Scream Zone production to a whole new level. Not only do the 3-D effects seem real, but also there are ghosts and Goblins that may just reach out and grab you. The Scream Zone has hired 23 actors who have spent hours rehearsing and who often put on more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts. As a warning to those who are fearless enough to go to the event, the Scream Zone is not intended for children under the age of ten, and is really geared towards teenagers and adults. If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a special Kids' Day "Fun Zone" is planned for October 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and of course trick-or-treating. th such successful artists is a testimony to the support for talented Asian Americans within the industry.

Transitions between these scenes are preempted by sound from the other narrative before the scene shift takes place. The effect of these segues suggests a strong emotive connection between the two characters bordering on the telepathic. By DESOMND BARCA Design Editor Usually when one goes to the movies, one expects to observe a series of dramatized situations and hopefully be entertained by the story, character development, musical score and visual stimuli. Most of us like to go to the movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes we just want to kill a few hours in a dark air-conditioned space with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for someone looking for this sort of light entertainment. Das experiment is Germany's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film; it has been nominated for the European Film Awards Best European Film 2001.

The majority of the Rush: Vapor Trails Tour By KURT MAYER Pride Staff Writer The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista on Wednesday, September 25. The show was nearly sold out, and the fans were ecstatic to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again. Rush is such an esteemed force in the music industry that no opening band was required; truthfully, no band could hope to compare! Rush came on stage at 8:15 and played until 11:30. The music was synchronized with hundreds of lights and lasers. Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three enormous projection screens, layered with custom animations and ambience effects. On these screens, fans watched, awestruck, as bassisi Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, as well as keyboard work. Drummer Neil Peart brought fans to a standing ovation with a fifteen-minute drum solo on his 360-degree rotating drum kit. Awesome! The Coors Amphitheater is acoustically designed and padded with sound-reflective walls to accommodate full symphony orchestras, so the sound quality was perfect. New songs like "Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider" rang out into the night with the utmost clarity, as did classics like "The Trees" and "Red Sector A" and even the famous 1970's hit "Working Man". A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista, but did not attend the show, said he could hear the bass clearly from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula Vista probably enabled sound waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von rial County and Mexico!

No matter what conflict is at hand, two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the only result of the argument is the escalation of the conflict that often turns into street fights. Really! Is skateboarding harder than inline skating or vice versa? I believe they are two different sports, and anyone who tries to say which sport is better than the other is clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing. Little do these people, who create conflict, know that they are wasting their time. Instead offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not worrying about which sport is better. They overlook the fact that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are free, not bound to the inline skater or skateboarder role of hating each other because their equipment is different. Actu- ally, skateboarders and inline skaters are very similar to one another. They are both involved in a new revolution of sports, and like to roll around to have fun. So why is it necessary to repeat the cycle of argument and disgust for one another? I know the answer. Skateboarders and inline skaters conflict with one another because they do not take the time to acknowledge the person behind the equipment, Many lack the perspective to see other athletes on terms that are different than the ones prescribed to them by their peers, socialization, or industry, Open your eyes, inline skaters and skateboarders, to each other and you may see there is a whole new world where skateboarders and inline skaters get along because they choose to see each other as a person as opposed to a symbol of something they have been taught to dislike, Louie Zamora Airs from e ramp to another. Photo courtesy of Steven Zamora. By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer I am sick and tired of being told to buy a skateboard, being verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who mean to harm me just because I am an inline skater. I am also sick and tired of inline skaters getting so upset at skateboarders as to sink to their level and be the ones to start conflict or even contribute to it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it is between skateboarders and inline skaters. I hate the feeling that I get when I'm skating at a street spot or at a skate park, and I see a skateboarder, purposely^ try. to fnake fun of 6r*even crash*into me. No one person likes to be in fear, however inline skaters must put up with it all the time. Not to say that skateboarders don't have the same feeling I have, but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are more skateboarders than inline skaters, which is apparent in society - ask yourself how many more skateboarders, on average, do you see as opposed to inline skaters? Insults that begin with "Our sport is harder than yours, fruitbooter" only further demonstrate how skateboarders are acting in a discriminatory manner toward inline skaters. However, the responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters are the worst. These insults begin with, "keep on pushin' your wood; and by the way save the Capitalism starts and begins with laborers. Laborers, sometimes called proletariats, are the majority.

I will refrain from lecturing on the environmental effects of this type of consumerism and stick to the politics. My concern lies most in the notion that we do not realize we are pawns in a system that mostly benefits the miniscule percentage at the top of big-business and media - in other words, that we do not realize what capitalism is.

I know many of you feel this way too, given the tasty choices the Dome has to offer. We need a little variety in our food court selection, to say the least. Let's break it down. We've got a soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol (Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's pizza and subs (the only food remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least, House of Tsang. We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher foods, bigger selection) that were to make the Dome more palatable for the students this fall. Student Gail Tarantino shared with me a personal account of what these "improvements" exactly entailed. "I went to Casa Del Sol to try the new baked chicken plate that they serve. The server pulled a As an expression of our care and concern, I ask each of us to think of ways we can acknowledge Alex Zingaro's life and honor his memory For my part, I will show that I value my fellow students by taking the time to smile or say Hi! as we pass each other between classes, cold baked chicken plate from the refrigerator, and proceeded to throw it into the fryer. When I asked the server what they were doing throwing the baked chicken plate into the fryer, they told me it was to warm it up." with cafeterias containing Taco Bells, McDonalds, and other well-known food stands. Why are CSUSM students subjected to sub-par food when other college students are actually enjoying their meals? We are students driven by our appetites. And what do we get between classes? Overcooked, marginal at best, Mexican and Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a little credit since it's pretty fresh and relatively palatable pizza and sandwiches. But when you sum it all up, that's really all there is. A person can only eat so much pizza before they begin to desire something more. Yet we all stand in line, like a bunch of Russians in a communist bread line. What else can we do? Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this to say about the subject: "I know nothing about it, except that I've heard the matter was investigated and the major companies that looked into it found that there are not enough students here yet to support their minimum sales requirement." After trying all ten items that are on the menu throughout the past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other colleges in the San Diego area It looks like new and improved food is a diminutive priority thus far. Enrolling new students necessitates more parking spaces. When this is running smoothly we may finally have enough students, which would then allow us the ability to get more familiar food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some time, so hey! Have some pizza! sit next to each other on benches, or stand next to each other in elevators. What will you do?

Catching the Wave of Success By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at North Ponto in the north end of Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM placed fourth overall last season. Under the rules of the NSSA, six shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team. Making the final cuts will be difficult, due to the select nature of the team and the large pool of talent available at CSUSM. add some depth. "Last season, the team had great participation and team spirit, but generally only one or two surfers got through multiple rounds. To be a contender, they need to get more like four surfers into the quarterfinals. And the talent is here on campus," said volunteer coach Amber Puha. member, is a former US Body Boarding Champion and current runner-up college national champion.

She was a member of the NSSA National Team from 1985-1987. At USCD, where she majored in mathematics, she was part of their National Championship team and won an individual National Championship. In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a PhD in mathematics, but before leaving she had accumulated two more NSSA individual national championships. Puha then came to CSUSM in the fall of 1999. Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf team here on campus." But she also gives credit to ASI and her team, "because without them this wouldn't be possible. With such an exemplary record, along with some very talented surfers, it's quite possible for the Cougars to rank even higher than last year." The surf team and other CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore, like any other ASI club sport, the team has three player representatives, which include Dave Kincannon, George Demarino, and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI to officially register the team, organize the tryouts, and help raise funds. CSUSM is a part of the NSSA Southwest Conference and will begin competition on October 27th in Ventura, California. Lady Cougars Golf Begin an Impressive Fall Season By JESSICA A.

T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 4,2002 www.csusm.edu/pride/ v ol.xno.iv Fire in the Skies Over Southern California By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday around 7:30 p.m., Vandenberg Air Force Base, located just north of Santa Barbara, was running a routine ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) test. The missile sent was an unmanned Minute Man III, and its destination was the Marshal Islands, thousands of miles away in the central Pacific Ocean. Weather experts say that the time of the launch and the clear weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi- light affect" that many people saw that night. As the missile climbed to enormous altitudes, the vapor trail left behind the missile froze. Consequently, the rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue. Matty, from the Matty Show on 91X radio said that the United States Air Force (USAF) does inform the media about missile launches that are supposed to occur in the area. However, he stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague. Apparently the USAF told 91X that there would be a launch sometime in September between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only is this a very broad window for a scheduled test, but it was also late, albeit only by a half an hour. Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event, and there was a strange mixture of emotions in the air. It was a combination of apprehension, awe, and amazement. Only after they realized that there was no apparent danger did it become apparent that the event was merely both an awesome and powerful spectacle. Official Air Force photo.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer There are no skate parks in San Marcos, leaving the entire population of extreme sports participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and bikers, with no legal place to practice their sport. "There are no future plans for a skate park in San Marcos," explained Mayor of San Marcos F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However, Smith alluded to a new public park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road that should be complete by Janu- ary 2003. At the new San Marcos park, there would be an assigned area (approximately half the size of a basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their equipment. In this area, there would be no ramps, rails, or ledges to ride or grind on - that leavesflatground. This new park will not be a skate park because it will lack ramps, rails, and ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options for extreme sports participants to use. substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a ledge at CSUSM. The marks on the ledge can be from bikers, inline skaters, or skate boarders. However, the fact remains that public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is hearing from the San Marcos community. Schramm asserted that in the future of San Marcos, as many At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built, that may or may not include skate parks. He also said that construction of a skate park would not be worth the hassle, because local children and teens would still practice their sports on public property, even if skate parks were built. However, Robert Levienos of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a new skate park in San Marcos would encourage him and other extreme sports participants to refrain from practicing on public property, because they would have a place to legally skate. If there are no plans, there Damage to wall from skate boarding in front of University Hall. Photo by Desmond Barca For any questions or informamay not be a skate park in the future of San Marcos.

Clever Cultural B y AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is well known for its cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is this unique quality that enhances the campus' cultural experience. Professors like Deborah Small, Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos eagerly devote their time and efforts to educating students about different cultures, and in a sense, opening up the world to them. This university offers many such opportunities to explore the wide varieties of people on the planet without even leaving the campus. tures (VPA 311) introduces students to a variety of cultures from around the world through various art forms, such as film, music, dance, and writing. This unique course utilizes the talents of several instructors, with Small acting as the "cheerleader for her colleagues," as she put it. With a new instructor every week, this course is more like a fun day at the cultural arts center rather than a required course. Tessa Allen, a CSUSM junior, enjoys going to World Cultures class because "it is so diverse, and it covers all mediums of art."

The CAMP program offers academic, personal and financial support, followed by mentoring opportunities for the second year to help students complete their baccalaureate degree and a subsequent teaching credential for those who choose teaching as a career. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete theirfirstyear of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with bacca- 43 grantees are made up of institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations that cooperate with such institutions.

In 1999 the CAMP program was included as part of the Clinton administration's "Hispanic Education Action Plan." The program's funding increased significantly. "Currently, within our migrant service area there are over 1,200 migrant students who are eligible for CAMP. Additionally, there are migrant students in the Imperial Valley, Southern Riverside County, and Southern San Diego County who are not served by a current camp grant and who would be eligible to participate in the Cal State San Marcos program. Working closely with our migrant regional 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete their first year of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with baccalaureate degrees Necochea said, "Many of the migrant students will be firsttime/full-time students to attend the university from their families; this grant will help provide the support they need in order to be successful with a rigorous and demanding university program."

By now, most students have seen their syllabuses and have acknowledged the 10-20 page research paper due at the end of the semester and immediately put it in the back of their minds, to be thought about around week 13 or 14. Probably not the best idea, and for any new students, be prepared: the professors are looking for good papers and here's a big clue, they know the difference. Acknowledging students' tendencies toward procrastination mixed with mega fears about writing, I was determined to find out how to write a good paper. Yvonne Muelemans, the Science Librarian, and Judith Downing, the Humanitarian Librarian, explained how to find out the best ways to research papers along with the biggest challenges students encounter trying to get these papers done. Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves enough time, even for simple things, suqh as copying and downloading articles." All these little nitty-gritty things take time and can cause a lot of problems. Waiting for the last minute only to find out that when you arrive in the library the server is down can put students into a tailspin. This does not happen a lot, but it can happen - and it can when you wish it had not. Another thing to look out for is although Cal State San Marcos has around 200,000 volumes To Research encounter students whose topic is either too broad, too narrow, not clear or the student is not sure of the assignment. I have actually had students come in and say 'I need to write a history paper.' That would be too broad. And other students want the product, the grade, and don't want to do the process. The process is the education.... once the student is clear on the topic and they start getting the information or research needed for the Also, CSUSM is part of the paper, that's when the assign"Circuit" which includes San ment becomes interesting and Diego State University, UC San the learning takes place."

So if students are doing a search and the volume needed is in the Annex, the book needs to be ordered.

El motivo de su visita a la clase fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera como persona de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell, estudiante de SSM 482D, esta clase es básicamente para ayudar a los estudiantes con licenciatura en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área. Figueroa obtuvo su maestría en Negocios en Ucrania. Él trabajó como contador privado y como contadorfiscalen el gobierno de México. Además, Figueroa en su trabajo como cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos. El miedo, para Figueroa, es el peor enemigo de cualquier persona. El cual, de acuerdo con él, se debe reconocer que existe, pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará la vida de las personas que lo hagan. mayor reto en su vida ha sido entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el mundo en la época de los 70s cuando la vida fácil que conocía cambio de repente. Figueroa expresó que su mayor error sería mezclar las emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que para evitar los errores y tener éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad para reconocer que se cometió un error y estar en contra de la codicia. A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para balancear la vida personal con la profesional. Él contestó que él era una persona egoísta y que si tenía que trabajar en domingo lo hacía pero que le gustaba respetar su vida privada y que si lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba. De acuerdo con Figueroa, el También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada con su trabajo, siempre buscando la manera de estar cerca de su familia. Otro de los consejos dados por Figueroa fue que las personas deben de ser ellos mismos y escuchar pero no creer todo lo que escuchen. Él añadió que hay una razón para todo, e invitó al público a cuestionarse y a abrirse a los demás.

N o es que crea que la sentencia contra la nigeriana es injusta, porque lo considero totalmente injusto y creó que el veredicto debe de ser revocado. A continuación entenderán a lo que me refiero con la situación de las mujeres en México y en la cual Fox se necesita enfocar en lugar de criticar a otras naciones. Hace dos años que México espera un gran cambio social, político y económico con la nueva presidencia del Panista Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este cambio parece no estar tomando lugar o va a un paso lentísimo incapaz de ser visto ni con el mayor lente magnificado. La corrupción, la pobreza, y la falta de empleo al igual que la violación a los derechos humanos siguen presentes en la sociedad mexicana. N o obstante, el presidente Fox hace alarde de Desde 1993 en Ciudad su presidencia y de los logros Juárez, Chihuahua, México, obtenidos, los cuales jamás han alrededor de 2 84 mujeres han sido vistos por los mexicanos. sido encontradas muertas y hay aproximadamente 450 La gota que derramó el vaso desaparecidas. D e las mujeres y que me impulsó a escribir encontradas muertas, algunas esta carta fue el haber visto han sido golpeadas, violadas, y escuchado a Fox decirle al mutiladas, o apuñaladas y país de Nigeria cómo tratar arrojadas en cualquier parte a las mujeres. En especial, de la ciudad, Mientras que él se estaba enfocando en la de las desaparecidas no se nigeriana que fue sentenciada sabe absolutamente nada. Sin a morir apedreada por tener un embargo, Fox no ha usado su hijo fuera del matrimonio. Fox poder como presidente para pidió a Nigeria que cambiara exigir al gobierno de la ciudad, esta sentencia. Sin embargo, lo municipal y estatal de Chihuahua que él olvida e s que en su propio y mucho menos al gobierno país hay muchas violaciones a federal para investigar estas los derechos humanos. Sobre numerosas muertes tan trágicas. todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres asesinadas y desaparecidas trabajaban en maquiladoras, usualmente de noche, para poder ganar un sueldo y darles de comer a sus familias. Tristemente para muchas de ellas, debido a la falta de empleo en el país, esta era su única opción de trabajo. Esto me hace recordar otro punto por el que Fox todavía no ha cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido dos años en la presidencia. Me refiero a la pobreza que se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años debido a la falta de empleo y salarios justos; pero no puedo profundizar en esta ocasión debido a la complejidad del caso. Sobre las promesas de Fox, como decimos en México solo me resta decir que "de lengua me como un taco." e internacional, no hay más de 30 muertes resueltas. Además, de los pocos sospechosos detenidos de cometer estos asesinatos, hay grandes dudas sobre la verdad de su culpabilidad ya que muchos los consideran chivos expiatorios que el gobierno ha usado para aparentar resolver los casos cuando en realidad esto no es cierto. En lugar de estar perdiendo el tiempo pidiéndole al presidente Bush por una amnistía para que más mexicanos puedan venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox debería de atender mejor la situación interna y caótica de México. Debería de establecer un mejor gobierno con una justicia verdadera al igual que abrir más fuentes de trabajo para evitar que sus conciudadanos tengan que abandonar su país y en la mayoría de las ocasiones a sus familias. Entiendo que un presidente no puede cambiar décadas de corrupción y malfunción social, política y económica; pero, el esfuerzo que un presidente haga durante su gobierno, definitivamente ayudará mucho a mejorar la situación en el futuro. Hace alrededor de dos meses, las familias de todas estas mujeres asesinadas y perdidas, pidieron justicia para encontrar a los culpables de tantas muertes, y ayuda para encontrar a aquellas todavía desaparecidas. Sin embargo, esto pareció no haber sido escuchado por la justicia mexicana y mucho menos por Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos los culpables o sospechosos acusados de tantas muertes. Mi mensaje para el presidente D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar en México, antes que en ningún otro país, las violaciones de derechos humanos al igual que los crímenes contra las mujeres, que tristemente no sólo acento o pasan en Chihuahua sino en muchos otros estados mexicanos y que sean penalizados duramente y justamente por la ley. En lugar de exigir que otros países hagan esto, ponga usted el ejemplo para entonces poder tener derecho y la desvergüenza de exigirlo en otros países. Como ciudadana mexicana preocupada por la situación en mi país y como ciudadana del mundo, exijo que estas muertes y desapariciones no queden impunes y que los culpables sean encontrados y llevados a la justicia verdadera, que también se necesita establecer en México. Si ni siquiera usted hace respetar los derechos civiles de las mujeres en su propio país, ¿qué cara tiene para exigir que otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar de exigir algo que ni siquiera usted hace por las personas de su país. N o se olvide que el buen presidente por su país empieza.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art collectors as well as thousands of fans each waiting up to five hours to meet Manson, engage in some light chitchat, and shake Manson's hand. The event entitled "The Golden Age of the Grotesque", which by the way is the title of Manson's new album in progress, ran from Thursday to Saturday. I arrived on Friday at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the painting were marked sold. The paintings ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Over all it was quite an event, with a parade of humanity ranging from Manson and his beautiful entourage all decked out in immaculate wardrobe and make up, to art collectors to Goth rockers, punks, to regular Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean Penn and Jason Lee attended the exclusive engagement. Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German expressionism, many of which were similar to stylistically to the work of Egon Shiele. Among the self portraits and portraits of celebrities including his significant other Dita Von Tooco were subjects tVint were enKi^tc that wwp Teese, clearly intended as social satire. The satirical paintings included a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler, a version of Superman entitled Ubermensch and a self-portrait in which Manson depicts himself as a creepy version of Mickey Mouse. Thought the event was free, in order to meet Manson and get an autograph, fans had to purchase one of Manson's limited editions, lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece. One of Manson's fans, Julia Velasco of Pomona, complained that she had to spend $160 in order for everyone in her party to meet Manson. Though some of the attendees were irritated by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed appreciative. Outside, I talked to Lexa Vonn, of the rock group Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band and commended Manson for his loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn Pointed out that they look much better in person than on the web. Another fan I talked to, Naokol Matsumoto, told me that she came to the U.S. two years ago to learn English for the express purpose of communicating with Marilyn Manson.

And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art." Currently there are not show dates available for Manson's upcoming tour On his influences, Manson had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and Manson is much more than just a shock rocker, as he is so often referred to as in the media. I've read his autobiography, listened to his albums, seen his music videos, listened to interviews, and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk, it is evident that he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Given the range of his artist: interests and ability, the fact that he has had such a widespread influence on pop culture as well as rallied himself into a lucrative industry, isn't very surprising. The term Shock Rocker, doesn't describe him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's art challenges anyone willing to put their biases away and take art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to think and open our minds. People who don't understand Manson, or think his art is gratuitous or only done for shock value, are people who have judged him prematurely; people clearly have the right to dismiss art without bothering to investigate, or make an informed judgment, but in my opinion passing judgment in this way is irresponsible and relates back to what Manson is rebelling against in thefirstplace. Anyone who has the time to examine contemporary art in depth will at the very least respect Manson's accomplishments as well as his courage and determination under heavy criticism, even if they don't care for his art or music. �Gaming On-Line Style By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer First off, this is a piece of those of you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for the Xbox. I know many students and individuals play games on the Playstation, Gamecube, and Xbox, but console games are only a small vein when it comes to tapping into the resource of true gaming. Yes, I'm talking about the PC and online gaming. Taking nothing away from console games, they are fun and will occupy the bored, but if you enjoy gaming to it's fullest, the PC is where it's at, if you don't already know. Console games are desired and are always being updated for better graphics, game play, and the new move to playing them online. However, the bottom line is, no matter how high tech these consoles become, the computer is, and will be light years ahead of them as far as performance is concerned. So as not to bore you with computer details and why they are better than a console gaming system, visit tomshafdware.com and learn something if you don't know what I'm getting at.

As a Literature and Writing major at California State University San Marcos, I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity. Oftentimes, while I am sitting in these classes, I find myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this school of thought in a way that points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is over, I never feel more connected to someone else of the selected ethnic background of the day, but instead I feel further removed. Take for example a class like LTWR 450, Multiethnic American Literature. The course outline for this class says that it is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American discourses such as African American, Jewish American, Latino American, [and] Japanese American." To title this course Multiethnic American Literature is a slap in the face to all of the wonderful writers incorporated into the syllabus. Why not title this course simply American Literature? Why must the university tag this course as Multiethnic? Are they saying that all of the authors that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the same ethnic background and that that those backgrounds are not ethnic? The fact that they must separate this course, and tag it as multiethnic, shows the real lack of progress in cultural diversity at this university. I grew up in New York, where nobody ever spoke of cultural diversity. It was common to have neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds, but the idea was that they were your neighbors. Not your Jewish neighbors, or your Latino neighbors, or your African American Neighbors, but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may have come a hundred years ago from some other country did not matter and was never talked about. K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race: the only race in thé United States, is the human race." He goes on to say "there is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is a place for racial identities in a world that is shaped by racism, I shall argue, if we are to move beyond racism we shall have to move beyond current racial identities." Liberal It is your lucky day. You may be asking yourself, "Why, Matt?" Well it is because today you are going to hear the other side of the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR" by Erik Roper contained much comedic value. First joke, he said President Bush is our "illegally appointed president." That's funny because several liberal media outlets sponsored their own recount of Florida ballots and wouldn't ya know it, Bush still won. The media, except for Fox News, said nothing! Here is a good book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg which tells about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather gives you only what he wants you to hear. Comedy and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right now you may be saying "Wow Matt that is amazing." And you're darnrightit is. A 1996 GAO report stated that we spent $6.6 billion on peacekeeping operations since 1992 and yet we have only been accredited with $1.8 billion of that money. So under the United Nations Erroneous Dept. Act, we stopped paying dues until our overpayments have been credited or reimbursed. Oh God Bless the United Nations which is also one of the leading exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion is hidden under names like "family planning" and "women'srights."The United Nations was also a key player in China's Second joke, the author did not brutal one child policy that has know why America "feels it killed small children and has should be exempt from paying created a sexual imbalance. dues." For the past 50 years, America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we are paying with our taxes and with our people (military) for a world authority. Call me a crazy member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the control of a global government scares me and the freedom that has been preserved by my dad, grandpa, and forefathers is at risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," but the U N has already created a world court and has been given American soil by our previous president. So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they think, "you are ignorant and possibly even stupid" because you listen to one side of the story and believe it. Matt Cotton CAUSC Student If CSUSM wants to celebrate diversity, they should do so by incorporation not by isolation. There is no reason to have a class called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are worthy of being studied, should be incorporated into the United States Literature course because they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate part. The University's program right now is at the same place the Civil Rights movement was forty years ago when the thought was separate but equal. We have come to know that separate is never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

However, this semester my view is being drastically changed and it is being altered in the form of an overflow of cramped and ridiculous parking! Basically as I read the article from last week's Pride, I gathered the truth of the ugliness of our parking. There is only 2,000 parking spaces on campus and yet the school has admitted approx. 6,900 students. Each student is required to on Parkin found that the parking situation is becoming tolerable and many hope that the congestion will die down after the add/drop period. However, the numbers don't lie and class sizes are not dropping as much as they are increasing, which is another article all together! That fact is that after September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed, as well as stack parking to soon follow. Though I understand the red curb's disallowance due to fire hazard (though overlooked in the past 3 weeks), the unmarked curbs and stack parking is desperately needed. The student's money should be seen in action pay sixty-two dollars a semes- dents that have permits park in and not with parking tickets.

Though I Illingworth, like many students, our last week in the happy place know many students that do not has to work before school and so of parking, which many consider pay for these permits and walk to the time to locate a parking spot hell. Another thought to ponder school from various near-by des- is between five tofifteenminis that the faculty also parks on tinations such as Ralph's and the utes. In that time span, students the curbs as Afton Porter pointed overflow, I chose to pay and be are lucky if they can even get out, "The faculty will now be near school.

I challenge you in the overflow. Why should stu- I'm sure many of you have, and CSUSM students to not take this lying down or walking down but to strike. The strike that I am proposing is not as shocking as it sounds. My suggestion is for the following week, the week of Sept. 30- Oct. 4., students should continue to park on curbs and in the dirt. Red curbs can be avoided due to the fire hazard, after all those areas only contain five or so spaces. When parking make sure to place this article under the windshield wipers in plain sight so when a ticket is being considered they will see the true parking permit, the student's voice. These tickets are only meaningful to those giving them and those receiving the profit. My thoughts are that the school cannot justly give tickets to everyone unless they decide to give us all refunds on the permits that they are not properly practicing. Everyone needs to participate. We have no choice. Don't let the last freedom of speech be in our parents' generation, stand up for our rights and what we've paid for! NICHOLE JESTER Senior, LTWR GSUSM T raffic: S elf-inflicted Chaos By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times are what lie at the root of the current traffic problem? Most students have little choice as to what classes they need to take; they must complete the courses required for their major in order to graduate.

Why in the world would you place Mucky Mouse in Suicide in this issue? It lacks humor, subtlety, or thoughtful commentary, as well as informed spelling and punctuation-so what's the point? This is no mouse, it's a sewer rat. Actually, why would you want such tasteless inanity in our college publication at all? I sincerely hope neither the community nor the Zingaro family sees this issue; do the right thing and pull itfromthe stands. There's no pride here. Pam Horner L ETTERS This letter is in response to the letter sent by Pam Horner. I have had classes with Pam and have always admired her intellect and contributions to class discussions. Her letter to the editor was both justified and well composed. As the creator of Mucky Mouse I would like to respond to Pam's letter in this way: I would not have submitted Mucky Mouse to the Pride last week if I had learned about the Zingaro death earlier. The comic was not a response to his death, and was drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide preceded the news of Alex's death and was left in the paper accidentally. I myself did not imagine a connection between ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student population cater to the needs of a select few? And to those people who must waste their entire days sitting around campus awaiting their next class, which may be up to nine hours later, is it fair that you must wait just so you have a guaranteed parking space? believe it is the lack of spaces as much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in blocks, every few hours a ton of spaces would open up for the next block of students to go to class. Maybe the real problem is being overlooked; maybe the real problem has to do with poor scheduling.

Normally, it fronts as a small computer store, run by former Lieutenant Governor candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on Coast Highway in Oceanside, surrounded by many other 'Ma and Pa' businesses. Walking inside, the diversity is almost as great as the different stores that make up this neighborhood. Like's software is available on the only aisle and is flanked by other computers in various stages of use. The far wall contains several paintings and if visitors look close, they will recognize a Rembrandt and a Monet but not the kind that will bring millions, but copies that have been painted by Like. The store has that 'lived in' feel that only a small business can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet quirky room, two men, Like and Byron were planning to make a run at congress under the decent and respectable ticket. against it because many of their companies were profiting from doing business with Iraq, Byron quickly said that Vice-President Dick Cheney had run Halliburton quite successfully while doing business with Iraq during the 90s even with the sanctions After we seated ourselves in and embargos in place. two easy chairs, he began to talk about politics and the first thing Spreading democracy to that came up was Iraq and the other countries especially in the president's determination to go Middle East was another topic in with force.

Byron Byron also pointed out that also mentioned that any operathe former U.S.S.R., China and tion in Iraq will cost hundreds North Korea all have nuclear of billions of dollars over the weapons or are trying to get next ten years and the budget them and the U.S. has not might not be able to come out of attacked them.

England's prime minister. After pointing out that Europeans were that candidates that obtain five percent of the vote in the qualifying elections will then receive a certain amount of campaign money from the state yet, there would be a limit to the amount on private funds. Byron also wants to "reempower" congress and let them do what they are supposed to do, which is debate over what i s best for this country. Byron also talked about his students telling him that they feel like their vote won't make a difference. However, he wants to let them know that for once, yes, it will. CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron 1 When asked what were some of the things that could be done tofightthe war on terror and how to stop terrorism from spreading, Byron offered a profound quote. "Happy people don't make history, we need to be fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We can be setting the conditions for democracy but we can't impose it, we can only provide the model for opportunity. People in the Middle East are stuck, give them the opportunity." Given the fact that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between 15 and 25 with almost no job prospects, this recipe is more fitting than sending in random troops. Many of these people are college educated yet work as street vendors because there's no employment. With regards to foreign policy, Taiwan became another topic of discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated to keeping it independent from China and is even conducting a secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron responded that since president Truman went to China in 1971 and signed the Taiwan Relations Act, every president since him has been committed to the act, which guarantees one China and the peaceful return of Taiwan. Byron said that we should stay committed to that. "What we should be doing is facilitating the foundations of modernity and democracy with the Chinese, we do that, the problem fades," he said. Byron also added that the number one issue with regards to domestic policies was the political system. "The political system, it should be one person, one vote, now it's one dollar, one vote," he said. He pointed out that in the '96 elections had the most money spent and the most votes recorded. He quoted P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a 'Parliament of Whores' because we pay so much attention to special interest groups. Byron has one other huge supporter of his opinion of these groups and that is Republican Senator John McCain, who ironically belongs to his opposition party. According to Byron, we need a constitutional amendment like we had back in the 1800's, when Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded Age,' to stop the special interest groups from retaining so much hold over us. Part of that would include public control over campaign money. This means The event that made Byron decide to run for Congress was after listening to senator McCain speak in addition to talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore quoted Margaret Mead as saying, "If you want something to happen, you have to get up and do it yourself." It struck a chord with Byron and he went home and talked with his wife and the rest is making history. He also added, "Stay away from special interest money, be committed!" as his own advice to keep himself honest. Byron needs roughly 36,000 votes to win. Furthermore, his name will not appear anywhere in the ballot; he is a write-in candidate because the democrats did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th district and his opponent is the republican Dan Issa. Byron also said, "This is your chance to make a difference, together we can make history." For those who want more information on Byron and his standpoint in many issues, visit his website at www.ByronForC ongress.org. This website will also tell you how to vote using the write in method. He will also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic Unity dinner on Saturday, October 5th. For more info call 760-436-6348.

WARCRAFT from page 12 turns to the distant shores of Kalimdor, where the Ores vie for survival against the Night Elves to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own tech-tree, which allows for the construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare. Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice that game focus in Warcraft III has shifted to smaller numbers of individual units rather than massive quantities of expendable cannon fodder. This change renders the environment more like Diablo, and thus Blizzard successfully combines the best play elements of its previous titles into one awesome game. The standard version sells for $39.99 at Amazon or Best Buy. True diehards can pick up the special Collector's Edition for $59.99, which includes an audio CD, DVD and full-color guidebook.

Student enrollment for this semester is approximately 6900*, which is the highest in CSUSM history. This is a 14% increase over last fall. While our enrollment increases each year, the number of parking spaces stays the same. Patti Hale and Robert Williams in Parking Services gave me the break down on the parking spaces. There are a total of 2414 When asked how students spaces, of which 440 are for the are handling the situation, Hale faculty.

Stella T. Clark fue seleccionada para fundar el Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas de la Universidad Estatal de California en San Marcos (CSUSM). Hoy, 12 años después, Clark está en el proceso de retirarse de su carrera de maestra que ha mantenido por 38 años. Este semestre empezó su proceso de retiró cómo miembro del Programa de Retiro Temprano para la Facultad (FERP), dicho programa del sistema universitario estatal (CSU) tiene un proceso de 5 años en el cual la futura facultad jubilada empieza a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que será su nuevo estilo de vida. Este programa consta de dar clases un semestre y el siguiente no, y así sucesivamente hasta los cinco años cuando la facultad se retira totalmente de su área de trabajo. "El departamento debe irse a la dirección de la gente nueva, que llegó en los 90s, que tienen nuevas ideas porque ya hay muchas cosas que se enseñan en las universidades que no se enseñaban antes," dijo Clark. Entre uno de estps cambios mencionados por Clark está la tecnología y la alta popularidad y uso de la Internet en aulas escolares al igual que los usos profesionales del español.

A ella le gusta vivir en la ciudad en la que trabaja para poder conocer mejor a la comunidad. Por tal razón, dice disfrutar de eventos como la Guelaguetza al igual que mirar personas jugando fútbol en las canchas universitarias en los fines de semana debido al gran número que viene a la universidad. En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de idiomas no fue el único problema que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y americanos," dijo Clark sobre su generación. También dijo que en ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías o de género femenino no eran maestros en universidades. Por tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y que creen que no pueden porque son Latinas, porque son mujeres o porque vienen de una sociedad que no admite este tipo pero que si se puede." jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se dejen vencer por los problemas que va a haber problemas pero que no son nada comparados con los problemas de la vida si uno no tiene su preparación académica." Este consejo Clark lo recibió de uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza por las noches y que ganaba una buena cantidad de dinero pero se sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la escuela para cambiar su estilo de vida. "Estudiar es una inversión emocional, psicológica, física, y económica pero que les va a rendir mucho cuando terminen... Es un regalo que uno se da a uno mismo," expresó Clark. Clark le tiene un gran y profundo amor a su carrera. "Creo que me pagan por algo que yo haría gratis. Los estudiantes son magníficos," comentó Clark. Clark empezó su carrera en 1964 como estudiante graduada y por primera vez enseñó clases tiempo completo en 1970. Ella obtuvo su licenciatura en la Universidad de Mississippi y su maestría eñ la Universidad de Kansas al igual que su doctorado. Fue en la Universidad <je Kansas, que conoció a su esposo de procedencia cubana con el cual tiene 35 años de casada. También fue ahí donde accidentalmente fue colocada en el programa de español en lugar de francés lo cual era su objetivo. De acuerdo con ella, así fue como encontró su verdadera vocación.

Since some of these changes were made the week before the start of the term or even the first week of the semester, it was not possible to include them in the course schedule. In addition, some classes were cancelled and others moved to different rooms to increase the size of enrollment. This administrative course of action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the summer break. The decision to cancel these courses depends on a variety of factors. "The most common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie, the Associate Dean in the College of Arts and Sciences. According to McDuffie, courses like LTWR 115 or WMST 445 were closed because it "isn't cost-effective to keep it open" thereby allowing the money to be used for more popular classes that will serve more students. Other factors, such as consultations with the Department Chairs, the amount of available sections in a particular course, and General Education requirements are also taken into account when determining which classes to cancel. It is unclear if the currently enrolled students of these cancelled courses were taken into consideration as a deciding factor. one room to another" as well as changing "one time to another." This^ change is meant to benefit crashers and new students alike. Late demands for classes are resolved by moving the class into a bigger room. The academic schedule remains to be determined by a limited budget and limited space. The fees that are collected from the new enrollment is expected to be spent on increasing the "instructional budgets," therefore providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester. A complete list of available courses is located in the College of Arts and Sciences advising McDuffie also mentioned that office or Craven 6211. in addition to terminating some sections, other modifications have also been made.

Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative talk on the historical context of modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very low ~ the audience numbered less than a dozen — probably due to lack of awareness of the event rather than disinterest Dr. Moukhlis, originally from Morocco, volunteered his time, despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge. The,second school of thought is that the Middle East can be modernized without loosing its cultural identity by merging with western culture to the extent that it is useful and simply not adopting western attributes that conflict with traditional values. In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted Bryan S. Turner who argues: "What makes religious faith or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern society is that everyday life has become part of a global system of exchange of commodities which are not easily influenced by political leaders, intellectuals or religious leaders." The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies that the Islamic world is using in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity; namely, in trying to modernize without jeopardizing traditional identity. According to Dr. Moukhlis, there are three schools of thought on this subject. The first is radical for the Middle The third school of thought is that modernism is too secular and holds too many perils, and that the best solution is to return to the pure or ancestral ways that Islam describes as the model for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr. Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri who argues, "It is essential... to remember that secular rational By DESMOND BARCA Pri(Je besign Editor norms and Islamic social ethics are not mutually exclusive.... The Islamists'choice need not be H reduced to negation or toleration H of secularism.

Dr. Moukhlis points out that, dating as far back as Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, which he describes as being a huge a shock of modernism to the Middle East, the Arab world has felt a pressure to catch up with the West. While Moukhlis contends that most Middle Easterners like what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also represents violence, invasion, and the dehumanizing effects of colonialism. The values that the West holds as fundamental are universally admired, however the discrepancies between the theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and Middle Easterners alike. Giving voice to Arab sentiment from when he was living in northern Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, speaks to mostly empty seats. what you love, too.

Debate By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students to senior citizens gathered at 7 p.m., Thursday evening, at the Shadowridge Country Club Home Owners Association in Vistaf to participate and watch the annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during the introductory ceremonies, as everyone was anxious to find a chair in the crowded dining hall. With a few dozen still standing with their complementary snacks and refreshments, partly due to the large turnout and limited seating, the introductions began, and as the 3 candidates for Vista City Mayor took their seats, the forfrial dining hall grew silent in anticipation. followed by the current Mayor of Vista Ed Estes, and last but not least Morris Vance. Three candidates that were scheduled to speak but did not show were Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and Elvin Vega. Reasons for these three candidates not showing up were not given throughout the evening. All three candidates gave their five to ten minute presentations to either become or to continue as the mayor of Vista. While the candidates expressed their own personal goals and ideas, they also discussed similar issues they all felt needed adjustment. Similarly, topics ranged from traffic congestion to new and re-development of buildings and the beautifying of the older Vista The first of the scheduled Can- development.

With the audience asking more specific questions to their needs, each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an attempt to answer their queries, While most in attendance were satisfied with the question and answer period, others were not. Clearly discontent grew among some members in attendance as certain candidates deployed obvious question-dodging maneuvers in an attempt to walk around questions at all costs. Sensitive or controversial subjects, such as the homeless population, homeless shelters downtown, and the building of new youth develDON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES, I Upon meeting with random community businessmen and women after the event, it appeared that more thorough speeches, and addressing more specific issues and possible outcomes, might have been appreciated, while others were satisfied with what they were presented.

In a pre-9-11 world, this act would have been thought of not only as unthinkable, but more likely as a Hollywood stoiy line than an event that was to grip our nation unlike any in history. The endless news coverage assaulted us with images and stories of this horrific event and it was through these images that we identified with what happened - live video from three thousand miles away. It seemed surreal, too great to comprehend because hi our own backyard life was, for all intents and purposes.. .normal. It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and twenty stories and realize what an impact it would have. What would it be like to be there, to actually see first hand the destruction that has been wrought and the impact on the people of New York? Television can only show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$ air, nor would it have the effect of witnessing firsthand what had really happened. For New Year's Day of 2002, a friend and I decided that we should witness first hand what had befallen our country. happened. Our hopes for seeing anything were becoming bleak as we noticed a line stretched from St. Mark's cathedral, heading north into the city. We started walking along the line looking for the end but it just kept going. It stretched for two city blocks then took an abrupt left and continued down for another four to the edge of the site then c u ^ J back up again. We got i nlii^Smewhere around here and settled down for what seemed like a long wait. This was the coldest I could ever remember being. I was growing frustrated with the howling wind, against which my scarf seemed defenseless. It was then that it hit me. One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the terror attacks one year ago . New York in the winter is as beautiful as it is cold. There's a certain appeal from the leafless tress and frost covered grass. As in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when set upon the white winter sky, they have a romantic appeal that screams "This is New York!' Our plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site and hopefully not get chased off by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't until we \yere in Times Square on New Year's Eve that we learned a public viewing platform had been opened earlier that day. Packed in with half a million other people it was-the topic of much conversation. Some did not want to go because they felt it was sacrilegious while others could not wait for the chance to see the awesome spectacle of destruction. Most however wanted to pay their respects, like a never ending memorial service, a form of prayer, and a word of silence, remembrance. The New Year rang in with red, white and blue confetti and a personal address from Mayor Rudolph Giulianni, who said that after September 11, we were all New Yorkers. marked for September 15 but never opened for consumers to take advantage, a closed coffee shop with 9-11 specials still in the window helps serve as a reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life were becoming apparent as we made our way to the observation platform; the scene transformed from a bleak, empty reminder to the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was different. The cab ride was easy. We simply told him that we wanted to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard this many times already, and in silence we made our way to New York's financial district. Despite the cold, the sun was shinning brightly, reflecting off of huge office windows from the buildings still left in Wall Street. We were dropped off east of the World Trade Center on the edge Cabs were busy picking people off Battery Park. up and dropping them off but for one very different reason. They From there we made our way were coming to see just what had west, walking alongside the site and catching glimpses of the destruction in between buildings. What was really catching was the numerous businesses that were closed on 9-11 and became a kind of time capsule - a shoe store with a sale in the window The wind had yet to bother me in New York but standing next to a sixteen square acre hole, it swept through the site with a fury and without the towers to buffet it, it attacked at will. After two and a half hours of eternity and a chin I knew I had but could not feel, we made it back to the main street and started our slow procession towards the viewing platform. The sunshine seemed to have faded, replaced by gloom as slowly we marched and then all the various memorials left by family and well-wishers invaded our senses. Candles were still burning around make-shift signs and computer printouts of missing friends, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. I wasn't feeling the cold from the wind anymore, just the piercing chill of these haunting images of smiling faces that would never again see the light of day. An old, rusty bicycle was chained to a light post and it seemed odd that the owner had not claimed it. Looking closer, there was no owner to claim. It too was a memorial, adorned in flowers and a rosary with a sign X anse» SSSSf**^SSSi»S ** • ' illHIS IHifB tini C I Photo Montage By DESMOND BARCA Sii. l I» i * I . aijg^ f ttflil 3:.i « t i 3 mil ;H «ï\ 3*i i *J 3 %t * » ; ' ** % t �The construction continues at ground zero of the World Trade Center attack. paying tribute to the bike messengers who had lost their lives. It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen heroes of the Fire and Police department but you did not hear much about the little guys. That got me thinking, what about the janitors, the cooks, and the maintenance guys? There must have been thousands of these people that were equally affected by that terrible day. St. Mark's was an active recovery center for the World Trade Center. Exhaustedfirefightersand rescue workers made their way in and out and a hand painted sign on plywood made it explicitly clear that the entrance was to remain clear of people. We were almost there and we came upon the biggest memorial yet. Hundreds of pictures of missing people and signs of encouragement of shared grief from all across the country. Every state was represented here, every American from every ethnic group and culture. It was not that the memorial was so massive; it is that the depth and scope of it was. Some looked on in shock, others buried their heads in their hands and sobbed, while still others looked visibly angry. What was M B f l llllïSSiîiIg ft* ** ** ; *«, 1*1 Ij i I* * I' I People were quiet, walking the hundred-yard ramp up the platform and to the viewing area. Most kept their heads down, it could be said to avoid the wind, but I like to think it was out of respect. Police inform you when you get to the actual viewing stage that you have three minutes and three minutes only. They were serious. I saw them usher away many loiters except for one woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in them to tell her that time was up. It was easy to boot someone who had just snapped off twenty seven pictures and was reload" ing yet another roll of film, but how do you tell someone who is looking wildly into the crowd, through her tears of grief that it's time to go? Standing on the edge of the makeshift platform, it's impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it on T.V. makes it seem small and unconnected. One of my first thoughts was that planes didn't do this, someone dropped about a hundred bombs. It looked like a war zone. The pile of rubble was obvious and backhoes normally 50 feet tall were so deep in the site you could only see the top of their buckets. Most of the surrounding buildings had half their windows blown out except for one. It was an older building, roughly forty feet high and made of concrete. It was melted. It looked like sulfuric acid had been dumped all over it and like a candle left lit overnight had just melted away. The human mind was not designed to take in a scene like ^rn^mmmmmmthis. 1: * SS*ftJ tlfflplt S*r so horrifying was that when you looked at a picture of a missing loved one, you could almost see them in daily life and you knew it easily could have been you. *»**•*! »••«• ****** ***** ***** T**»** ***** :V " t i l " . + ***** Imagine all of Qualcom stadium and the parking lot gone, just...gone.

Walking down the exit ramp people had scrawled messages on the plywood offering hope and unity with New York. There were thousands of them, yet the platform had not been open even twenty-four hours.. .amazing.

"American Idol" took America by storm when it made its world premiere on June 11, at 9:00pm on Fox. Two nights a week, millions of viewers stayed glued to the TV to find out which potential Superstar hopeful would be ousted next. M aking The viewers called in each week to determine who gave a star-studded performance and who gave a not-so-stellar performance. Whether your favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil, or the obvious sex kitten of the bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers had their top three of who they thought would win. From an overwhelming group of surveys and public opinion, it was plain to see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, and Justin Guarini were the favorites who were predicted to make it to the grand finale show. of a shocking vote on Wed. August 21, Tamyra Gray was voted off which left Nikki McKibbin the mediocre mundane rock vocalist to be ripped apart vocally in the upcoming episode. Needless to say, the following week*America said farewell to Nikki McKibbin. The two-hour grand finale left the other two favorites Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini to battle it out with songs never heard before.

Now the process is, for the most part, beyond the student. Registration and Records enters the application information into Banner (an administrative software system), and the yellow copy of the application is sent to advising. Imagine the deflated sense of accomplishment and the disruption to one's life that this would cause. Careers may have to be put on hold or even simply impeded. Relocating back to the San Diego area is likely necessary. And, one must find the financial resources and time to devote to reenrollment. Now let us see what the graduation 'technician' is up to. She or he runs a report to determine who has applied and reapplied for graduation. Each applicant's file is pulled from advising. Banner is checked to see if the applicant has transcripts that need to be copied from Registration and Records. Along with the retrieval of any and all necessary transcripts, approved alternate course agreements, independent study contracts and incomplete agreements are also gathered into the student's folder. I am sending this letter for a couple reasons. First of all, there is erroneous information contained within the article on HALO ("The Low Down on Halo") in the Arts section of The Pride's September 10 issue. The author wrote that it is possible to play through the levels cooperatively with up to sixteen players, he is wrong. With more than two players you can only play against each other, not against the aliens. Also, he failed to mention the online capabilities of HALO. out, goes to the cashier's office to pay fees (because apparently tuition is hot sufficient to cover paper processing), then back to Registration and Records to turn in the completed application. But then they get a phone call from Registration and Records, interrupting that next phase. The student is informed that "due to an error," they must return to the university to fully complete their requirements, and their degree is invalid until having done so. Editors: One student to whom this revocation happened inquired as to why he should come back, being that the physical degree was already in his possession. He-was told that his degree is now invalid, to be considered a forged document. So he returned to CSUSM to watch an employee in the Registration office shred his diploma, and he reluctantly handed over his tuition for the upcoming semester. \v Ü ÄI Lead Editor Lead Editor Design Editor Ifews EdStw OpiiiiQO Editor Spanish Editor Feature Editor * Arts Editor Sports a litor Graduate Intern Copy Editor Msiness Manager Advisor ...I would like to challenge him.

And yet, we still cannot be sure that once that degree is in hand, it is ours to keep. So where does that leave us? It leaves us second-guessing the determinations of the people being paid to advise us because they cannot invariably be relied upon. It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well, in some unfortunate cases it leaves us plain SOL, as the saying goes. The author of the article also mentioned that he is up for a battle with anyone who thinks they can play and that he is the HALO champion.

Last week, student Lorraine Puckett was unable to get her wheelchair out of her van because someone had parked on the blue lines of the handicap space. People who turn the blue lines of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking for a very expensive ticket. CSUSM President Gonzalez explained that our parking situation is complicated because the state does not subsidize parking services in any way. Parking services must be completely selfsupporting. Gonzalez explained that to build the six planned parking structurés, no state funds can be used. Money for construction of die structures must come from parking services through substantial increases in parking fees. Gonzalez also explained that parking structures are extremely expensive to build. It breaks down to something like 12-18 thousand dollars per space. Therefore, if a structure had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per space, that equals 12 million dollars for one structure. And that's the low end of the money spectrum. Gonzalez assures students that there is a committee currently working on the parking issue and looking at alternative areas and solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for the committee to report back to him with their recommendations. school, they'll be able to park because it's not going to happen while we are here. That is unless we can find a philanthropist whose ego would permit having a parking garage named after him. •Enrollment statistics are not official until the census is taken at the end of September. 6900 represents the opening day enrollment.

The lecture will begin at noon in Commons 206, and is scheduled to run until 1:15. Dr. Moukhlis intends to spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes discussing the historical context of Islamic culture and it's relationship with the west; afterwards he will host a question and answer session in which he will field questions and attempt to present an accurate image of Islam based on his experiences. Dr. Moukhlis is in a unique position to promote cultural awareness having spent much of his life in the predominantly Muslim country of Morocco, where he earned his B.A. degree in English.

Bill Craig, (we need his title here), was unavailable for comment as to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the new labs. The remainder of the shipments was used to refresh the current systems on campus and to replace some of the older model computers in Academic Hall, Craven Hall, and Science I.

The preview for the auction started at 9:30 a.m. and the actual selling began at 11 a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event where items were sold on an "as is, where is," basis. The auction took place at the v For sale at the auction were computers, desks, chairs, TVs, VCRs, and a lot more. Over all, there were 400 items for sale. At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold for almost $180.00 reported Cal State student, Ben Arnold but he said, "Later, I saw people walk away with computers for as little as $20. There were a lot of great deals. We bought a desk chair for $30." Robert Aguilar, another auctioneer, commented that the auction had a great turn out. "We had 100 lot sheets, listing the items available for sale, ready for the people, and ran out of them right away. I believe a lot of people have walked away very happy. This is different from what I usually do. I usually do car auctions. I am here to help Emilio conduct the auction and this is more fun." He also added jokingly, "Yes, it's true... if you scratch your eye at thé wrong time, you might wind up buying something!" The auction, conducted by Abamex Auction Company, was very successful. The cashier replied, "I am too busy to know how much money has been taken in, but everything seems to be selling."

The add/drop deadline this Fall is 09/17/02. Under the new refund policy students will be given up to the 60% point in the academic term (11/07/02) to receive a prorated refund. This means that if students bomb their midterms and want tt> withdraw, they still have a chance to get back some money. If students find themselves in a situation of having to withdraw from the university and wanting to get all registration fees back, there are some exceptions to this policy. Although severe medical conditions did not make the top ten list of acceptable reasons for withdrawal without penalty, the excuses that made it to the top are: a) fees that were assessed in error b) course for which fees were assessed was cancelled by the campus c) a delayed decision made by the campus regarding student's eligibility for enrollment and d) compulsory military service. It May Not Look Different, but the Dome has Gotten Better By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer Although basically hidden to customers, many changes to the campus food court, the Dome, took place over the summer. As Aztec Shops employee Debbie Curtchianti said, "Most of [the renovation that took place] was behind the scenes/' This included an expansion that enabled renovation and upgrades. Asignificantamount of space added to the kitchen area, as well as advancements in the technological equipment systems used by the food services, makes for a better experience for customers. While things appear basically the same as they did last spring in the Dome's cafeteria and convenience store, in spite of appearances, customers may be pleasantly surprised. in the mornings and stored for the day's sales. However, now meals are cooked in small quantities throughout the day. Consequently, as Curtchianti promised, the food served in the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's Pizza and Subs, and the House of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order. Along with the positive changes, prices on some items have been raised, but only slightly - $0.25 at the most. Curtchianti says this is to accommodate ' for "increasing minimum wage rates" and any other increases in production costs. The Dome staff now claims that customers can enjoy fresher meals at what are still considered descent prices, and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good things are yet to come to the CSUSM Dome. The selection of food items offered in the Dome has not changed or expanded greatly, but cooking methods have.

Goodbye to CSUSM, after 25 years of no new campuses." Since the opening of CSUSM, two new CSU campuses have been opened, but both of them, Channel Islands and Monterey Bay, have been built by refurbishing prior facilities and buildings, according to a Member of Its of 1990, Dr. Baker served as the first Chair of the Academic Senate. She recalls, "There were approximately 30 faculty here at that point and all of them came to Senate meetings which were very When CSUSM first opened testy." When asked to elaborate its doors to students in the fall about what made the meetings Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications. He also said, "CSU San Marcos is the only campus to be built in recent years entirelyfromthe ground up." According to her campus homepage, Dr. Baker spent 18 years at .DePaul University in Chicago before coming to CSUSM, six of which were spent as Sociology department chair; She also worked briefly within the administration at Stanford University. Faculty unpredictable and highly-strung, she denied further comment. Baker said, "I was the only full time sociologist here until Bob Roberts joined me in 1992, but we had a number of terrific adjunct faculty who joined us early on so that by the time Bob Roberts came on board, we were teaching about 15 Sociology classes each term." In the spring of 1992, CSUSM awarded thefirstof its Sociology degrees to 13 students. By 1995, CSUSM had developed its "innovative master's degree program: Master of,Arts in Sociological Practice (MASP)," according to Baker. She said, "This program, which continues the focus Q n social problems, human service agencies [and]fieldresearch has been very successful in attracting students, having students complete the degree, and move on to relevant careers or in some cases to Ph.D. programs." In 1989, Dr. Baker came to San Marcos to help with the planning of the new University. She designed and launched the Sociology program in the fall of 1990, according to her homepage. Baker said, "I have many memories of CSUSM in its earliest days. I was very active in faculty governance at both CSUSM and the Statewide Academic Senate in the earliest years." Baker said that she is "very pleased to have been a part of [the effort to provide students of all backgrounds the access to a Sociology degree]." She added, "Joining the effort to found CSUSM, and in particular the Sociology program at this university, has given me a chance to make a difference." As a member of the Statewide Academic Senate, Baker said she "learned a lot about the CSU system, and the other senators gave me an earful about what they thought about the CSU starting a new campus, namely Cl a s Founding Dr. Terry Baker-Degler, Courtesy of her CSUSM Home Page sif ieds per week for a nine-month-old.

KRONE Pride Staff Writer and Sports Editor Cal State San Marcos men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Mammoth Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude training session from -Aug. 24 through the 31 of this year. The reason behind this type of training was to increase the lung capacity of the runners. In doing so, they increased their stamina making it easier for them to gompete at lower altitudes. "The thin air and less oxygen forces the body to produce more red blood cells, which increases the oxygen in your blood," senior Brian Sullivan explained. th st The course length that the women's team, runs for each event is five kilometers and the distance for the men's team, is eight kilometers. With half of the women's team, and nearly half of the men's team being returning runners, there is no reason for Cougars fans to think that this year will be anything out of the ordinary for this exemplary program. Returning runners for the women's team include seniors Lanele Cox and Camille Wilborn; and juniors Katherine Niblett and Felisha Mariscal; and sophomores Samantha Delagardelle and Manal Yamout. New to the team include, junior Megan Katlinger a transfer from U.S. Military Academy at West Point andfivenew freshman who include Ann Marie Byrne from University High School Yolanda Carillo from Temecula Valley r Sullivan Strides By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor Cross Country runner Brian Sullivan is a 22-year-old senior majoring in psychology. This team leader was born in Spain and has lived in New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. From the ages of 10 to 14, he went to school on an American military base in Rota, Spain. He tried out for the cross country team at St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Sullivan promptly made the varsity team at his high school during his freshman year. He never competitively ran before high school; however he was a natural and it showed.

With these ¡six returning women and the six new members that are added to the squad, making Nationals, which is the goal of the team according to Coach Steve Scott, will be no easy chore. This would be due to the fact that the team will be running in what is thought of as a very competitive and talented region. Last year's team did not qualify for Nationals, but in 2000 theyfinished2 0 overall. Hopes are highfora return to glory. in the nation within the preseason National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) polls. "We have a good shot at being top five and could even win the National Championship," said Sullivan. The men's team has seven returning members who include seniors, Kris Houghton, Robby McClendon, Brian Sullivan and Omar 'Zavala; and juniors Mike Shannon and Justin Lessel. Sophomore Rene Reyes rounds out the returning lettermen. Ten new team members have joined which include, Jesse Armijo, a junior who transferred from Saddleback College; Tony Herr, a sophomore transfer from California Baptist University; Andrew Lewis, a On the other hand, the men's sophomore transfer from Alliant team has been ranked ninth International University; Marco th He enjoys running to areas that have beautiful sights. Sometimes, he will run to the top of a mountain just to witness the setting sun. Other times, he will get up really early in the morning in order to run along the beach and watch the sunrise. Running allows Sullivan to think. " Running is a mental escape from reality, no matter what is going on," he said. fdk favorite thing to do in his spare time is to have fun with friends in Pacific Beach. He works at . a shoe store called "Running Center." He is also a private tutor in all subjects for two junior high school students, with whom he has developed a great relationship. Alvarado, a freshman from Don Bosco Technical Institute; Wes Bryant, a freshman from Upland High School; Kevin Knight, a freshman from Arroyo Grande High School; Richie Gray, another freshman from Upland High School; Apolinar and Eduardo Mariscal, two freshmen twin brothers from Chula Vista High School; and Matt McCarron, a freshman from Terra Nova High School. With the experience of the returning runners and some new talent, this season promises to be both exciting and successful for the men's team. "I feel really strong about this season, we have a big group of guys with real talent. If we stay together and focused we will succeed," Sullivan insisted. Brian realizes that his cross country career will not last forever. " I just want to qualify for the Olympic trials in 2004 then get on with my life. Running will always be part of my life and I will never give it up," Sullivan explained.

Apparently the college of business and extended studies developed the hybrid in order for the university to be able to offer a competitive MBA program, as competition for graduate students in MBA programs has increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet. And while some students have expressed their concern that the program problems might devalue their degree, Gonzalez has assured both students and the business community that "the quality of the program was not affected." Since May 2002, the MBA program is running on state money only. Gonzalez explained that those involved in starting up the MBA program, one of whom was Dr. Bill Stacy who was president of the university at the time, were "entrepreneurial" and "creative" and focused on trying to get an MBA program established. The report claims that the program problems were worsened by the high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10 years, the college of business has sustained a loss of "at least 10 faculty members", and there have also been eight permanent and acting deans. President Gonzalez assured the media during a press conference in July, that "there was not any fraud involved" and the procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office report did not name names and Gonzalez has suggested that the people who may responsible are no longer with the university. Former program director George Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez. and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to determine if the problems in the program were caused by "errors in judgment" or if anything illegal or unethical was done and by whom. The committee was expected to present their recommendations and findings to Gonzalez within 60 days. The following CSUSM staff and faculty members make up the committee: Chair Marion Reid, Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G. H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. George Diehr, former director of the MBA program from 1995 to 1999, and current head of the The CFA has questioned the campus chapter of California effectiveness of a committee in Faculty Association (CFA), which a few of its members rely insists there has been no misuse on Gonzalez for budget approvof funds and all the "expendi- als, promotions and pay raises. tures and activities in question Lillian Taiz, CFA vice presihad top CSUSM administrative dent, believes the committee approval."

Rancho Sante Fe Rd. �W alking: Is It R eally So H ard? By KURT B.MAYER Pride Staff Writer Why is it so hard for everyone to walk around campus? It is true that there is a parking situation underway at this university, and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main entryway is lined with cars from end to end. In this congested state it would seem logical to simply park wherever there was the least amount of confusion and the most available space, even if it was a further walk. Yet this does not seem to be the case.. Like many students, I myself have fallen prey to the "vultures" which scavenge our parking lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being stalked is quite clear when it happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you are being watched. You slowly turn your head and see a blue Honda civic trailing you, pacing you. You can try to dodge the scavenger by cutting through Indeed, the campus has needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply and run rampant through our parking lots. Perhaps the funding is simply not yet present for a five, level garage. Yet the campus still decides not to blacktop one of the neaiby vacant fields, if only for an immediate-term solution. I have paid my $62 dollars for a parking permit Yet to spite thè game and avoid the vultures, I proudly display my red token ASI and its Rules Recently, ASI asked one of the student representatives elected last spring to resign. Evidently, she did not attend a "mandatory" ASI retreat over the summer because of family obligations that required her to leave California. I understand the reason for the retreat was to provide the new officers with information they will need as student representatives. I believe, however, the ASI is not acting in the student body's best interest when it adheres to average, I find it takes less time to hike the distance than to hunt for a parking space. Despite -this simple reasoning, as I hike up Craven Road I see countless others foolishly wandering into the vultures' lair, and I shake my head in bewilderment. Once again, I ask you: why is it so hard to walk? Walking is good exercise! In addition to doing two hundred repetitions on the- built-in California State University Stair Master, the extra twenty to forty pounds of books each student carries offers a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your heart and lungs! Plus, we have more time to talk on our cellular phones and bask in the warm September sun. to the next aisle where your car is really parked, but the scavenger will quickly circle around the bend and be there, waiting for you. Only when you reach the safety of your car and vacate your parking space with immediacy will the vulture back off — slightly. The instant you are clear the vulture dives in and seizes the precious parking space. rigid rules instead of applying common sense when conducting business. Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student in question received more votes than any other candidate did. If she resigns, her post will remain vacant until it can befilledby an appointee. In other words, someone who did not run for office can replace someone elected by the students, although neither attended the retreat. Where is the logic in that kind of thinking? from the parking lot of the "P" building on the far western edge of Twin Oaks Valley Road. I then proceed to hike up the And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made the rules, then our elected leaders can certainly make exceptions. If the school is making the retreat mandatory, then I believe a serious conflict of interest may be occurring. Try to follow my logic on this point. Raise your $62 dollar parking permits high, and climb the Cartoon by Desmond Barca university mountaintop. (Just be sure to watch out for the preying vultures.)

If the school foots the bill for the retreat, that would place the administration in a position of paying our student government leaders to act in a certain manner. The ASI would then lose its autonomy to the university that places restrictions on who can run for a student government office. LETTERS The school tells the students running for office that if elected they must attend a mandatory retreat. The retreat indoctrinates the students on how the school operates so that the student leaders can interface with their the student could have served in her position without attending the retreat. She and the people who voted for her deserve better. I would appreciate a response from the ASI on this point.

In fact V V last \ JMSLjustmonth Aj ^roiOK. I \X V\ \ j «k m id f ^S^W^ 3 ^/MPI wf m was m discussing this subject * with my friend, who graduated from SDSU three years ago. We both meet plenty of guys, and girls for that matter, when we go out. Yet we never really met many people at college. After reading Eric's article Male Angst I realize we are not the only ones who wonder why. My friend, Nicole and I are both fit blondes and don't have any problems picking up on guys if it is necessary, but actually it has never come to that. Even though it is 2002, girls still like it when guys make the first move. Now that doesn't mean using some lame pick-up line on the girl sitting next to you in class, college girls are too smart to fall for that. Since the guys at CSU i are also very intelligent why not use your brains to strike up an interesting conversation. Though the idea of a party always appeals to me, in fact love to throw them. But every time I do throw a party it requires some investing for drinks and appetizers and if you invite people that you don't know then you have to make sure that there is someone big enough to throw anyone out who causes a fight. Plus you have to make sure that no valuables are left out in case a thief happens to get word of the party, and we haven't even But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. gotten to the idea of thé police coming. Because even though I like to give mankind the benefit of the doubt that these things won't happen I would be ignorant to believe that the possibility isn't out there. Anyone who has thrown more than one party of 100 people or more knows what I am talking about. Now don't jump to conclusions here, I am not against anything that Eric said I am here to give suggestions from a single girl's perspective. In fact I would like this to continue on to a weekly column. But it doesn't have to be for just single people. I think that the whole school could use some help on getting to know each other better. For those 21 and up, there are great clubs that host 'college night' in which anyone with a student ID gets a discount on drinks. For those under 21, we could have a weekly posting of the best movies out and plan a CSU night starting at a local restaurant and ending at the theatre. Yet the best way to meet people from CSU is at the cafeteria, even though I have never formed a relationship with anyone there, In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was a girl from Greenpeace, who didn't even go to college. She didn't 'pick-up' on me because I'm really only attracted to men. But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet her friends at á club downtown that weekend She even wrote down the directions and time they were going. If a guy were to make the same effort I would have been even more willing to go. Yet there are two key things that guys should remember when taking such an approach, First, it is good to find a common interest and keep a conversation going for a little while, or wait until after you have met up with the girl more than once before asking her out. Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at least given the option to bring a friend. So ask her and her friends to meet up with you and your friends! Anyhow the first step begins with you; yes you, whoever you are. If you want to meet more people you have to approach them with some wit or topic of conversation beyond, "hey babe, you want to go to a party with me".

A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder, Zíngaro was scheduled to attend CSUSM classes on Wed. but never showed up. In addition, he never went to work at Tony Roma's restaurant in San Marcos to what would have been his second day on the job. Before disappearing, Zingaro called his employer to let him know that he would be late because he needed to come to CSUSM. He said that he needed to make some arrangements for a class. "He called and said he was going to crash a class and he was running late," said one of Zingaro's co-workers. Although Zingaro has not been seen since last Wednesday, his belongings, which include schoolbooks, clothes, and his surfboard, are still in his apartment. Both of his parents have said that he is not the kind of person to disappear without calling and that he kept in close touch with them as well as with his younger brother.

Among its many findings, the audit asserts that certain CSUSM CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the MBA program offered through Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various laws, regulations, and California State University (CSU) policies and procedures." According to the audit, "over $300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF) expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF program "were made as grants to CoBA faculty". In its official July 16 press release, CSUSM has maintained that it had taken action to correct the situation. The audit also highlights various ways in which leaders and prior cam|>Us administrators acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which includes the following: - CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it separately hired student advisors. CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in a manner that reduced student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty. CoBA discretionary expenditures were often, inadequately supported and inappropriately approved. Hourly rates for faculty with consulting contracts ranged from less than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour without any perceptible justification for variances in the rates charged. Jack Leu, associate professor and former director of the MBA program from 1999-2001, notes that "Cal State-business schools have had inadequate funding for decades." Professor Leu states the problems that the program faced which include the struggle in recruiting talented faculty and how their actual workload of giving up a winter or summer break for extra pay "was rewarded with sub-market compensation." According to Professor Leu, "We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU campuses. However, we taught our students not to be limited by system constraints, not to accept status quo and to take the journey less traveled. Perhaps we must also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to p eril" In terms of how the Extended Studies MBA has operated as an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was "improperly administered" by the CoBA and ES management. Some examples of those findings include that: - Campus standards over grades were iiot followed. ES exercised little control over the operation of the CoBA ES MBA program. In addition, it retained few official accounting or academic records for the program as it does for all other ES programs at CSU San Marcos. Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and MBA program leadership failed to act with due care and attention toward Office of the University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the Continuing Education audit in December 1999. - Concern regarding thé management of the * CoBA, more specifically how the ES MBA program is being operated, has been expressed by students. Continuing Education Revenue1 Funds are expended in accordance with Education Code requirements, and training has been scheduled for administrative staff and faculty. 5. Special consulting contracts that pay faculty for duties typically included in their teaching responsibilities have been discontinued. 6. Pay for hours worked by faculty on grants now correlate to actual pay rates. While the special investigation gives numerous recommendations "which would mitigate the recurrence of similar findings In his article, Professor Leu in the future," in its press release, also states, "Faculty must not the university has listed the fol- be discouraged.

In my capacity as your A.S.I. Secretary, over the summer I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than simply walking by them on my way to another spot on campus. It seemed to me that almost every time I would walk through a crowd of freshmen guys talking (or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme repeated over and over. It went something like, "Daaamn bro, look at all the hot chicks here yo, we're outnumbered like two to one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just as excited about that ratio when I first came to this school. Unfortunately what these guys don't realize yet (but they undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up" with any girls, let alone one.

We're part of t he sfili; II and I can say this with certainty based both on my own experience and those of pretty much every single guy I know at this school. * ||||l W M till!! ÊM t oo . It's common knowledge that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are that, first of all, we simply don't talk to enough girls, and since most of us aren't very perceptive or sensitive, usually we either misinterpret (or just plain, miss) the signals girls do give us that are supposed to let us know they wouldn't mind it if we talked to them more and/or asked them out on a date. When I told my 12 buddies this, they all grudgingly concede that they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not being able to read signals that girls are supposedly sending to them, they get outright indignant and sometimes even kind of pissed off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they all retort. "Are we supposed to be like mind-readers or something man? Are they using telepathy or something?!?! See man, that's what's messed up about chicks is that they always expect you to come to them, but when you do think you've received some kind of signal and you do step to them, 99.9% of the time you either just get straight up dissed, or they're nice but didn't �W ho B e n e f i t s W hen S t u d e n t s H ave t o C rash C l a s s e s By Gail Tarantino Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again. Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the school only offers two sections of a core class that you need, so you are left having to crash a class that you can't graduate without. You are desperate. You have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've got to have this class. really want anything to do with you and you start thinkin' you're crazy 'cause you were sure they were givin' you the go-ahead, but then it never works out, you never get any love, you end up pissed off at yourself, frustrated, lonely, and highly discouraged... and after a while you just stop trying to talk to them with any hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all your boys are like, "man, the chicks at this school are wack!" I think whatthe guys are trying to say is that girls need to stop waiting for guys to approach them, and they need to be clearer about the signals they give. Please ladies, don't take this personally and try to see this for what it really is: A CRY FOR HELP. The guys at this school are frustrated and confused. They want to get to know you better, but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix this problem. Guys like to fix things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this school would really appreciate it if one of you that read this would write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong. And if you don't feel like writing an article but would like to share your thoughts feel free to email/ call me (see below), or stop by my office in Commons 203, and then I'll turn around and write a follow up article. So you arrive early on the first day of class only to find that it's standing room only. You wait silently for the adjunct du jour to arrive, while wondering how many others will try to crash. You ponder your possibilities. Usually the instructor will either refuse all crashers (in order to keep the class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there will only be 15 students still enrolled), or just let graduating seniors crash. I'm not just talking about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some students have to crash multiple classes every semester. to know each other all that well. We don't hang out together outside of school enough. We don't party together enough. I repeat, WE DON'T PARTY TOGETHER ENOUGH. This needs to change. No, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. We need to have more parties. In my experience and that of all my friends, parties are clearly the best places to meet people, and lay the foundations for sometimes long-lasting and rewarding friendships. But how many big cool parties did you get invited to and go to last year based on your connection to someone at this school? Undoubtedly there are many of you out there that could count them on one hand, ^nd probably still more that couldn't count any. This needs to change. We need to party together. We need to have fun together. We need to be able to say to ourselves after we leave this place, "My time at San Marcos was so fun, that school rocked, I made so many friends, I went out with so many girls (or guys, depending on what you go for), I had the time of my life, I have no regrets and I 'm sad to be leaving." Unfortunately, at this point, I doubt most of us would say this. So, let's party. I challenge everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to a house that it would be cool to throw a party at, to offer to host a big kickass party. If you need help organizing it, come talk to me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a big party ourselves but we can't because we just moved into a condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin' me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself and everyone else at this school a favor, call me. But folks, there's really no amount of any such suggestions that would change the situation here. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. What we all need to realize is that ultimately, it's not a matter of whether it's more the guys fault or more the girls fault for keeping us all single, lonely, and wishing we weren't... ultimately the problem i s that for the majority of Hie students here, the environment we interact in, this school, is fundamentally nonAlone, we'll continue to wish conducive to fostering interperthings were different.. .together sonal relationships. we could make this place rocle We drive to school, go to class, then leave right away (usually Erik Roper alone) to go to work or some other commitment. We don't get While getting the classes you need is always a challenge, one thing is for certain: the system of crashing works to the detriment of students and faculty, and to the benefit of the administration which is why the administration likes it and will continue to sit back and not do a thing to dismantle it. classes but only getting paid for two. The administration saves on payroll, collects maximum tuition fees, and can continue pretending that the existing number of classes that are offered to students is sufficient. So while frustrated students cope with inadequate class choices, the part-time instructors get less pay and have larger classes. This is a very conLet me explain.

Yes, we students are the customers, and the college would cease to exist without us. The students deserve better treatment than we have received in the past, and better than we are receiving now. So the next time you crash a class successfully, be sure to tell the teacher thank you. And for all you instructors that take crashers; thank you. Without you some of us would not be able to graduate on time. R epublican B ait a nd S witch Recently Bush has proclaimed the greatest Republican fable of them all, that all of Nixon's economic troubles were the fault of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Is this factually correct? "At the same time, [Bush] insisted upon fiscal discipline, drawing parallels between economic conditions during the Vietnam conflict and those now surrounding his war on terrorism. In the 1960s, war spending was not balanced by cuts in the rest of government spending and, as a result, the 1970s saw deep unemployment, growing deficits and spiraling inflation, [Bush] said" (Aug 18, 8:16 AM ET By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, AP). course, the executive Republicans Milton advocated tax cuts to have never balanced a budget the top wages earners as the way to stimulate the economy with since. a 'trickle down' effect.

Bigger and bigger deficits from Milton-Reagan folly resulted. COMMENTARY If you believe that today's economy is the result of Clinton's presidency, perhaps the above claim would be considered reasonable. But let 's take a stroll down memory lane to that time of strife amidst love, the 1960's> and judge events for ourselves. Johnson knew the Vietnam War was a mistake by 1966, and spent the rest of his presidency alternating peace negotiations with targeting bombing. Johnson made one of the supreme sacrifices of any president in our history by taking responsibility for his Vietnam failure and did not seek to be reelected. He spent the rest of his presidency in non-partisan peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese to bring an honorable end to the war, and allow a predecessor to negotiate freely with out the responsibility for his actions. Johnson fell on his sword, handing Nixon a way to end the conflict, reduce defense spending, and keep the balanced budget alive that Johnson handed Nixon in 1969. Of The deficit spiral could only be stopped by another modest Keynesian democrat, Bill Clinton. A slight increase on taxes paid by those whose incomes exceeded $200,000 a year allowed for a few targeted investment and research programs to blossom. In a few years, deficits gave way to surpluses and the middle class was again treated to Keynes understood the wisdom targeted tax cuts. of stimulating growth through Now here comes George Bush public works projects.

Pugh on A r t i s t i c [w] r i g h t [e]s: The Interview By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor Summer is a time to relax, go to the beach, play volley­ ball, read a good book* or watch a great movie. But this year, San Marcos can expect another summertime treat. Cal State San Marcos senior Zach­ ary Pugh will release his new literary magazine for North County with help from Chi­ cago Internet marketer Michael D. Redikop on July 1. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Pugh and discuss a r t i s t i c [w] r i g h t [e]s, North County’s newest up-andcoming magazine. Q: First off, what is this magazine all about?

Many Cal State San Marcos’ students attended, included those enrolled in Dr. Robin Keehn’s Literature and Writing 525 class, which is geared toward the theory and practice of teaching college-level writing. CAPI isr a partnership between CSUSM and area high schools. The focus of this partner­ ship, effectively CAPI’s mission statement, is “to strengthen the mathematics and English prep­ aration of college-bound highschool students.” The conference was divided •between English workshops and and mathematics workshops. Both disciplines held workshops separately and the entire group only reconvened during lunch­ time. Dr. Dawn M. Formo, a CSUSM associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies and an associate CAPI director, said, “It’s a way to strengthen the gap between middle schools to college.” She added, “It’s just another piece of that puzzle to- fill those gaps.” The conference, which is held at least once every year, is dif­ ferent each time. Last year’s con­ ference included students from three different levels of educa­ tion, but this time only faculty members from the middle and secondary schools were part of the conference, with student representation limited to under­ grad and graduate students of CSUSM. “For this conference, we invited faculty high school and we have now broadened it to middle school, community col­ leges and the UC, everyone in our service area.

Some students chose more personal publishing projects, like putting together a family cookbook. “Through Small Press, I met the not-for-profit world, and I like it* After graduation, I hope to work as a grant writer for a non­ profit organization,” said Susie Shattuck, a Literature major who took the course for the second time. Small Press students have the option of taking the course for two semesters and a total of six credits. Literature 318, Small Press Publishing, is a practical course in developing, writing, soliciting copy for, editing, designing and printing a variety of publications (including journals, newsletters, and manuals) for print and the Web, according to 318’s profes­ sor, Dr. Madeleine Marshall. “In my experience, realworld writing is very different from academic writing. It’s always relational, usually col­ laborative, and generally highpressure. Academic writing is a gentler species, essentially per­ sonal, reflective, controlled. We do real-world writing in 318,” Marshall said. “The rewards are different, too.

Many people have told us that the name is con­ fusing at first, but then after contemplation of it, they are pleasantly satisfied. The name a r t i s t i c [w] r i g h t [e] s combines both phonetic and visual representation in order to convey a dual meaning, much like the nature of the submis­ sions and context of the publi­ cation. It boils down to: artistic rights vs. artistic writes. Q: And, who are you? Do you have a background in this or did you just wake up one day and decide to create a maga­ zine? A: I [Pugh] am currently a Literature & Writing Studies major and a second semester senior here at CSUSM. I have always been interested in graphic design and layout. At Fallbrook High, I was into graphic design and completed the Regional Occupation Pro­ gram.

Maybe you persuade some­ body to care or to help or to enlist other people to care or to help,” Marshall said. At the publications fair, stu­ dents and non-profit organiza­ tions mingled while looking over the final projects. “Small Press Publishing was , one of the most enjoyable and useful classes I took at the Uni­ versity. OK, it was a lot of work tQo! But I learned so much, including the practical skills of writing for different audiences, editing on the fly, and designing eye-catching layouts for publica­ tions. I also acquired less tangible abilities, such as how to help non­ profit organizations with their serious time, talent, and budget restrictions,” Shattuck said. During the semester, guest specialists spoke on a variety of topics, including software options, font design, principles of layout and grant writing for non­ profit organizations. One such specialist was CSUSM alumnus, Roman Koenig, who spoke about “Design and the Real World,” particularly in relation to his now defunct newspaper, The North County Current. Koenig began his design work as a student at CSUSM when he was editor of The Pride. ‘T focused on how students Story play versus photos, the use .of headlines, the importance of The idea of helping a non-profit chposing and designing the name organization and designing bro­ of a publication, are just a few chures, newsletters, and manuals elements needed for a good, and to help them out was pretty cool, easyto read publication” Especially since I’m a Literature , “Design is usually much and-Writing major and this is the more important in practical writ­ kind of stuff I love to do.

The Planning Design and Construction department is involved in this project and one of its visions is to be committed to managing and monitoring construction efforts in a timely and efficient manner. “There is one person devoted to the library construction budget,” said Dr. Stephen Garcia, chief financial officer and Vice president for Finance and Administrative Services at CSUSM. The base bid for con­ struction costs is $34,781,000, according to Garcia. Two alter­ nate amounts for additions to the library have been added, which includes costs for extra reading rooms and balconies, resulting in a total approximate budget of $35,240,000 accord­ ing to Garcia. Cal State San Marcos receives the majority of its fund­ ing from the State of California, not to mention a minimal por­ tion that comes from donations. The state has already paid approximately $13,861,000 and further payments are commit­ ted to Morley Construction, as each separate phase is com­ pleted, according to Garcia. The budget also includes a contingency budget for unfore­ seen emergencies and issues that might occur. “We have always maintained an adequate contin­ gency and are not over spent by any means,” said Garcia. “The budget is monitored very closely. We try not to put ourselves in the position to overspend.” Like any construction proj­ ect, obstacles have arisen, but they have been minimal. “There were concerns with the final design and details related to the structural framework, which will require a little more time,” said Dave Dennis, assistant director of construction. According to the Library March 2002 update, “the project is considered eight weeks behind schedule because of the delays to structural steel related to the final resolution of the seismic peer review com­ ments. Options to improve the schedule are being assessed and may include Saturday work for field erection.” As a result, the scheduled construction comple­ tion date is July of 2003, having originally been slated for com­ pletion in May of 2003. The scheduled opening date “has not been changed and is still within the schedule timeline,” Dennis said.

ACE presented its findings on college students last week in a report entitled, ‘Access & Per­ sistence.” ACE based its report on sev­ eral federal research projects tracking students for the past decade. The study differs from previous information-gathering studies, because it takes “student persistence” into account by fol­ lowing the roughly 20 percent of students who transfer from their original institution and complete their degrees elsewhere. Most students, who leave college for financial, personal, or educa­ tional reasons, return sometime in the following six years. Those who stay enrolled at the school where they began and earn a degree within five years make up less than half of students. Other research findings from the ACE study: —Traditional students who come straight from high school and attend full-time, with their parents paying tuition costs, make up 40 percent of under­ graduates. — College students are diverse: 55 percent are women, 30 percent are minorities and 20 percent are foreign-born or children of immigrants. Students who grew up speaking a lan­ guage other than English make up li percent. — challenging high-school A curriculum increases a student’s likelihood of attending college, as does having parents* with higher levels of education. —Regardless of family back­ ground, employment prospects for those who earn four-year degrees are about the same. The extra time most students are taking to graduate may limit the enrollment of new, incom­ ing students. Many colleges have responded to slower graduation rates by offering more counsel­ ing and tuition discounts. News Briefs Compiled by CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor Today at 10 a.m. on Lot “O,” the groundbreaking celebration for student housing took place. The $28-million project will house 460 students, with additional accommodations for resident assis­ tants, faculty and a facility manager. Each unit is built as an apartment, with its own dining area and kitchen and between 1,000 and 1,100 square feet. Each building has community meeting rooms and lounge areas. Each room will have high-speed Internet connections, and each unit will have a telephone and cable television. There will also be a commons building with a classroom, a student lounge with a catering kitchen and an outdoor amphitheatre. The project is scheduled for completion and occupancy in Fall 2003. Three Cal State San Marcos students won top honors at the 16th annual California State Uni­ versity Student Research Competition, hosted May 3 and 4 by CSU Long Beach. More than 150 students from 22 campuses participated. Kathleen Warmoth, a second-year graduate student in psy­ chology, took first place among graduate- students in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category for her research project titled “Potential role for NMDA receptors in opiate induced behavioral plasticity.” Ian Mendez placed second in the same category as Warmoth with his project, “The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-uOl inhibits tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia.” Mendez is in his first year of the psychology master’s program. Chris Shriver, a senior, placed first among undergraduates in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category, for her research project titled “Implicit connections with nature.” Shriver, who lives in Valley Center, has been working with faculty advisor Wesley Schultz, professor of psychology, to develop implicit measures for examining people’s attitudes about the environment. The winners were recognized at a banquet in Long Beach on May 4 and Will receive cash awards at a later date. Cal State San Marcos Adjusts Summer Work Hours in order to save energy.

She was bom in Brooklyn, New York, and explained how sometimes people comment on how clear she speaks English (without an accent.) Dr. Yuan Yuan, depart­ ment chair of Literature and Writing at CSUSM, discussed how to get acupuncture into the mainstream. He firmly believes in Chinese medicine and also questioned “why Chinese food is called ‘Chinese food,’ not ‘alternative food,’ but ‘Chinese medicine’ is known as ‘altemativemedicine.’” Curator of Chinese-American History at the San Diego Historical Society, Murray'Lee, discussed Ah Quin’s Diary. Quin was a Chinese immi­ grant who worked as cook in 1877-1879 for coal miners in Alaska, then later moved to San Francisco in 1880 and worked as a servant and cook for U.S. military officers. Four years later, he moved to San Diego and became a recruiter for the railroads and, over time, became a wealthy entrepreneur. Cassel worked with Murray on transcribing Quin’s diary. “Ah Quin broke every major stereo­ type,” Cassel commented.

Fac­ ulty from middle and secondary schools, as well as university professors and students, were able to compare their responses in an effort to fill the educa­ tional gaps that exist in cur­ riculum. At the end of the conference, they were given a handout with the responses gathered during their discus­ sion, which will hopefully begin the process of filling those edu­ cational gaps.

Reed Chancellor The California State University 400 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802-4275 Re: THE TRUTH Good Morning Chancellor Reed: As previously stated, I went to my alleged supervisor in late 1992, concerning a very serious problem in the warehouse. Without leaving his chair, and refusing eye contact, he denied there was a problem, I repeatedly went to him for help with this very serious problem and he repeatedly denied (always without eye contact), that there was a problem as the problem grew worse. I went to other management-type staff members and without a full investigation, they also denied that the problem existed, as said problem increased. Each denial implied that I was lying, Chancellor Reed. I feel now is the time to find out who is and who isn’t lying. Therefore, I respectfully request that you arrange a group polygraph exam for each of us involved in this very preventable brouhaha. Said exam to be given at the Escondido Center for the Arts, with the public and especially the video press invited, also as many non-management staff members as can be released. There will be no back-stabbing as was done to me on 8/17/92. No sucker punches as was given to me on a daily basis starting on 8/20/92 to present, until I was given them to myself. No, Chancellor Reed, the questions have already been asked, the facts (ie - the truth) have already been stated and denied. Now let the POLYGRAPH DECIDE. My alleged supervisor, in late 1992, ordered me to make a list. In other words, spy on another employee. This list will not be a few items, Chancellor Reed, nor a few dozen, but rather hundreds of items to which I will attest under full polygraph exam, in full public view. I would like to put closure to this very preventable brouhaha and at the same time get my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), caused by work-related stress, under control, and look forward to working with you on the same.

APSS is a newly charted group on this campus that chose to introduce itself to the campus community in style - literally. On Wednesday, APSS held a fashion show and art expo in the mezzanine level of the Cal State San Marcos Uni­ versity campus, which displayed fashions influenced by different cultures within the Asian com­ munity, as well as a few noted fash­ ions from the African commu­ nity. This was a fun-filled event equipped with friendly gimmicks for crowd participation, includ­ ing prizes and giveaways. The prizes ranged from three pairs of AMC movie tickets, golf.balls and flashlights, to red roses with silk thongs wrapped around the stems. The fashion shows featured original dress designs from tradi­ tional Korean Dress, Philippine Dress, and Chinese traditional style, exposing the campus com­ munity to the different flavor of Asian history and culture through style. And the message was well received. The beauty of the tra­ ditional garment styles was over­ whelming, but they did not stop there. In the second half of the show, APSS featured a new Asian-American female clothing designer, whose designs are known as Tuff Girl. Tuff Girl sashayed her sexy street designs, like basic Capris, or chino-style pants with lace and eccentric pat­ terns. “What is fashion without entertainment?” I thought, And boy, was I in for a delightful surprise. Aside from the groovy sounds of DJ Marlino and DJ Showtime, from Just 4 Fun Entertainment, mastering the melodic sounds in the back- COMMENTARY ground, making heads bob from right to left, the audience was entertained by guest vocalist Leslie Roister, who is a senior at Chula Vista High School. When asked about her aspi­ rations, Roister said, “Whitney Houston and the late Aaliyah Houghton inspire me to want to sing.

Her speech addressed the elements of selfawareness, cultural responsibility, selflove, culture appreci­ ation, and lastly, the need for increased motivation in self and culture. Kim waited after her speech to discuss internships being offered by her network and answered any questions students had about journalism, c om mu nic at ion s, and/or media in general. “I left feeling really encouraged, because she told it like it is. She is so real,” said Chris Strong, a junior majoring in Liberal Stud­ ies. When asked why one should celebrate Asian History Month, Kim said, “Asian Americans cel­ ebrate to find themselves and learn more about self. Self-aware­ ness is crucial to the development Asian Pacific Student Society Models Display Traditional Clothing Photo courtesy o f Cathy Nguyen and strength of our community. Also, self-awareness [helps one] define who they are. Lastly, cel­ ebrating Asian History Month makes others aware of the many different cultures and languages within the Asian American com­ munity.” This was APSS’s first event on our campus. “The Asian Pacific Student Society (APSS) is a cultural organization at Cal State San Marcos. The purpose of APSS is to promote Asian Pacific American awareness, unity and diversity among the entire stu­ dent body. APSS is a voice in which students of all ethnicity and creeds may express their views, thoughts, and ideas about any matter pertaining to the stu­ dents at CSUSM,” said James Nguyen, president of APSS.

What you can expect from this album are several head bobbing party anthems, like their debut single “It Feels Good,” which features 3LW and their current single, “What You Gonna Do” featuring Pink. In addition, with cameo appearances by Redman, Method Man, Queen Latifah, Lil Jon, Carl Thomas, and more, this album allows you to explore a twisted collaboration of hip hop smoothed out on an R&B tip with a dirty south bounce appeal to it. Some highlights to take note of are “What You Wanna Do,” featuring Pink, “Swing Swang,” and “Red Light” featuring Queen Latifah. Remember, Naughty By Nature is no stranger to the music game. They’ve survived hip hop’s dishon­ orable stereotypes for short-lived careers, big singles, and one-hit wonders by producing over six chart-topping party anthems over a decade-long period, which helped mark and shape hip hop at the floor front. Thus, this album is no excep­ tion and will prove that they are truly “ICONS”: a person or thing that is uncritically adored, revered or admired, or is regarded as a symbol of a particular cul­ ture or sphere, an idol.

She is being replaced. And while that, in and of itself, is a situation worthy of public outcry (because she is commonly thought of by her stu­ dents as an outstanding and inspi­ rational instructor) it was not the main reason I was upset enough to write an article about it. What I was most annoyed by was the unprofessional manner with which she is being let go. (..J feel like I’m going to have to explain the situation all over again to make people under­ stand - which sucks because I hate to repeat myself - but unfor­ tunately it seems that’s what I’m going to have to do because it seems some people still just don’t get it...) This is how it went down . . . I was sitting in my German 102 class one day shortly after the Summer/Fall 2002 schedules came out. It was a few minutes until class was supposed to start* Frau Ronke was getting herself organized at the table up front. A student walked in with aforesaid schedule in hand and basically asked Ronke who was the person that was listed in the schedule as being the German instructor for fall, because it was the only name listed as teaching the two German classes offered in the fall. The name of the person listed as teaching German next semes­ ter is,Hughes. Ronke had no idea who Hughes was (FACT.) No one from the World Languages Dept, (read: her supervisors) had talked to her about being replaced by anyone named Hughes (FACT and until yesterday, May 15, there had still been no official contact with Ronke on this issue from CSUSM’s Dept, of World Languages.) Instead, she learned this sensitive information (I’ll wager that losing your job is a sensitive subject with most folks) from her students. How @#$%ed up is that? Please, just stop for a second and consider this. CSUSM class schedules are not developed arid printed overnight. From the time the course schedule planners start planning away our future classes, it takes weeks of planning and revisions (I’m assuming this based on how slowly most large bureaucracies typically function), not to mention the completion of the printing and shipping pro­ cesses, before those schedules are available to us in the student store. What this all means with regard to Ronke’s situation is that her supervisors in the Dept, of World Languages must have known, for a significant amount of time, that they had already decided to replace her with this Hughes person, and they simply chose not to tell her about it. In other words, Ronke got DISSED (I use, DISSED, instead of disre­ spected, intentionally because I feel the latter word is too polite and doesn’t adequately convey the true level of, for lack of a better word, disrespect involved). Although it’s apecdotal infor­ mation, it’s a FACT that every, person I’ve talked with about this situation agrees that Ronke got brutally DISSED. Those same people also agree that regardless of the FACT that she’s being canned, there’s a certain way people should be treated in pro­ fessional working relationships. If someone is going to be let go from a job, however ill-advised that dismissal may be, it is a generally accepted aspect of the unwritten social contract of civ­ ilized conduct that we all are obliged to adhere to, that this soon-to-be-unemployed person should be notified beforehand by their employer as soon as that employer knows for sure that they are going to fire that person. Nobody told Ronke what was in store for her. And still, to this day, there has been no official com­ munication with Ronke about her impending release. Unless one counts having the humilia­ tion of Ronke’s dismissal being announced to her entire class of students out of the course sched­ ule as official communication. If one can accept that, then there’s really very little for me to pro­ test. But, public sentiment tells me otherwise. Public sentiment tells me to protest this injustice. Public sentiment agrees that what has happened is unacceptable. But apparently there is a small minority of people who still don’t understand this simple truth and who still, simply, just don’t get it. Professor Stella T. Clark has distinguished herself as one of these people. In last week’s edi­ tion of The Pride, Prof. Clark wrote a rebuttal.that seemed to be directed toward my earlier opinion piece, German Instruc­ tor (and students) DISSED. But I can’t be exactly sure because she didn’t address my piece spe­ cifically. Instead she wrote, “...I must express my disappointment at The Pride's publication and placement of two recent pieces regarding the Dept, of World Languages and Hispanic Litera­ tures.” She went on to say, “...I do not wish to respond to the indi­ Just D o n ’ t G et vidual pieces but merely to point out a few facts, especially for your student readers:” Then, like an ardent defender of the status quo, Clark spent four paragraphs regurgitating the institutional policy regarding what kind of degree one needs to have, to attain a tenured position in the Dept, of World Languages (Ph.D.) and that the reason such a degree is required by the Dept, of World Languages is because its “..par­ amount concern [is] the highest quality education for our stu­ dents” (Ronke only has a master’s - but is going to be working on earning her Ph.D. this summer in Germany). Apparently, instruc­ tors with Ph.D.s offer a higher quality education to their stu­ dents because, “...unlike adjunct faculty* [they] are consistently and systematically reviewed by peers on their teaching, plus their scholarship, research and/or cre­ ative activity, and service to the university and the community.” OOOOHHH, OK, now I get it. So, let me get this straight, we’re firing Ronke because she doesn’t have a Ph D, right? Right. And we’re hiring a PhD. to replace her, right? Right. OK, so far I’m trackin’. But wait, I must be a little slow because I can’t seem to understand how this offi-. cial policy-based justification of Ronke’s release makes any sense when one considers that the Dept, of World Languages is planning to allow T.A.s (read: grad stu­ dents) to teach lower-level Span­ ish courses next Fall (FACT public knowledge); especially in light of the fact that next semester the only German classes being offered are 101 & 20L Maybe I don’t understand this because my brain isn’t getting enough oxygen. Maybe my brain isn’t getting enough oxygen because I’m drowning in the hypocrisy disseminated by Prof. Clark and the Dept, of World Languages. Please, someone, throw me a life preserver! I would not object to Ronke’s being let go if the Dept.’s selfproclaimed policy of being dedi­ cated to hiring Ph.D.s was strictly adhered to. Obviously that is a policy that is adhered to only when it suits the Dept, of World Languages. BUT! Regardless of this hypocrisy, inequity and injustice, Prof. Clark’s rebuttal still com­ pletely failed to address the crit­ ical element of this fiasco. That being, why wasn’t Ronke noti­ fied of her impending dismissal through official channels? I hate to use this word, but what has been done to Ronke is truly scan­ dalous. Clark objected to these two opinion pieces because in her opinion, these two pieces (if someone knows the other recent opinion piece she’s ^referring to, please, let me know) were placed in The Pride to facilitate, “..the dissemination of gossip and insulting remarks.” Yet, she doesn’t see fit to point out exactly what language in either of these two pieces should be considered gossip and/or insulting remarks. If my telling of the truth hurts someone’s feelings, or if my tell­ ing the truth is deemed by some­ one as gossip-mongering, or if someone feels insulted by the truth I’ve told, then they should speak up and tell everyone at CSUSM exactly what was said in my article that was not true, what was gossip, and/or what was insulting. By failing to document the basis of her grievances, Prof. Clark has engaged in “poor jour­ nalistic practices,” has failed to best serve her own interests in establishing the validity 6f her assertions, or the best interests of readers of The Pride. Fur­ thermore, I feel her refusal to openly challenge anyone specifi­ cally is unseemly and smacks of condescension. Condescension, because, by not acknowledging whom she’s directing her retort toward, she implies that the indi­ viduals who wrote the opinion pieces she’s rebutting are not worthy of her esteemed recog­ nition. Apparently, the. opinions of a professor inherently carry more weight than those of obvi­ ously misinformed students (who only saw Ronke get DISSED with their own eyes) and so don’t need to be supported by sound, “jour­ nalistic practices,” as Prof. Clark herself likes to say. Indeed, Prof. Clark is so adatnant that The Pride adhere to strictly sound journalistic prac­ tices that she said, “The opinion page is a forum for the paper’s views but I assume that the latter are founded on a thoughtful, fair process based on facts and research.” Actually, this would be an incorrect assumption. The opinion page is a forum for the views of the readers of The Pride, and to a lesser extent, its staff. It is also incorrect of Prof. Clark to assume that sound “journalistic practices” (i.e., researching what is being written about) are neces­ sary to any piece submitted to the opinion page of The Pride. That’s why it’s called an opinion page. Prof. Clark went on to decry the”... poor journalistic practices of your (read: The Pride’ ) writ­ s ers. More importantly, as the paper of the university where I have taught since it opened to students, [I hope] that The Pride will stay true to its name and set a better example as to what it means to exercise free speech responsibly and judiciously.” , For the record, I am not a writer for The Pride on a regular basis. Even if I were, though, it would be absurd of Prof. Clark to assert that what I’ve said is not true, and that what I’ve said is merely gossip and baseless It insults, if she wasn’t prepared to offer up her own contrary facts that spoke to the main point of the matter. Secondly, Prof. Clark’s rebuttal was a baseless, toothless, and largely irrelevant attempt to defend the indefensible wrong that has been committed against Ronke. She attempted to do this by distracting readers of The Pride by skirting around the main issue (the FACT that not one of her supervisors ever told Ronke she was being replaced), and only attempted to deal with the secondary issue of Ronke’s dismissal by hiding behind some policy that reveals itself to be hypocritical upon closer scrutiny (as in the FACT that T.A.S will teach lower-level Spanish next Fall). So please Prof. Clark, tell us, how can you advocate that The Pride exercise free speech more responsibly and judiciously when you yourself haven’t writ­ ten a Very responsible and judi­ cious opinion piece? The students forced to suffer the whims of the Dept, of World Languages may not have Ph.D.s, hut we are not fools who can be so easily hoodwinked by nonsensical patronizing dogma like the letter that was submitted by Prof.- Clark. We can read between the lines. We can rec­ ognize bureaucratic doublespeak when we see it. When we ask, “Why wasn’t Ronke notified of her impending dismissal?” and all we get in response is something akin to what Prof. Clark wrote, which doesn’t even attempt to answer that very important question, immediately we smell something rotten in the state of the Dept, of World Languages. As long as the supervisors of the Dept, of* World Languages insist on not being completely honest with the students of CSUSM and Ronke, I’ll continue to harbor just as much contempt for them as they’ve demonstrated towards Ronke, her students, and all the students of CSUSM. If this means I won’t be able to take German and Spanish classes here any­ more, then so be it. The amount of courses offered in these spe­ cialties is an insult to the students of CSUSM, anyway. Before you leave for sumirier, if you’re so inclined, please feel free to tell me how right or wrong I am by-sending an email to, toper004@csusm.edu. Also, if you’ve ever taken German with Frau Ronke and you see her walk­ ing by, let her know she’s got your moral support. I know she’ll appreciate it, as will all the stu­ dents in her German classes.

It’s been a long, strange ride. Taking Initiative: CSUSM Students Will Go Far By AMANDA WOLFE For The Pride Today was an amazing day. I realized for the first time, I mean really realized, like down to my toes, that one person CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Now, of course, like every one of you I have heard this saying many times before. I have heard it from primary school teachers, history books, counselors and the pro­ fessors at this university, but not until today has it meant so much to ine. Today it rang clear in my world that people who put their minds toward a purpose CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I went ,to the Environmental Club meeting this afternoon, the last meeting of the semester, my last meeting. I will be graduat­ ing this semester. Today, we got a report from a girl who had come to the club meeting a couple of weeks ago to ask for advice in solving a problem she had with her work. When she came in she was still in shock from her last work experience, relaying to us that the bar where she worked did not recycle. In fact, they had discouraged her from recycling when she made a personal effort. We, just being students, did not know the quick and easy answer to her problem. Obviously, she did not want to lose her job over the matter, but the dissidence in her mind was growing. We all sat together and talked the issue over, trying to find some possible solutions. We deduced it down to a simple point of reason that if all of the employees felt that it was important that the company recy­ cled, the employees as a whole, could pressure the company to do so. We promised to support her in any way we could with infor­ mation from some of our class reports. She was grateful, and said she would keep us updated. Two weeks later, she told one of our members that the staff was in agreement that the com­ pany should recycle, and they collectively chose a representa­ tive to speak at the next mana­ gerial meeting, and he would not take no for an answer. This was an inspiring moment for me. You never know what people are really capable of doing until they step up to the plate. This young girl, only a sophomore, has already proven herself to be an advocate for common sense. The Environ­ mental Club would like to take their hats off to Jessica Marroquin for her initiative. As the former president and CEO of a company in which I was a major stockholder, my perspec­ tive on the controversy surround­ ing the dismissal / departure of Frau Ronke from her teaching position at Cal State San Marcos is different from the average stu­ dent’s. I was very supportive of the establishment of a state uni­ versity in the North San Diego County and pleased when it finally received approval. I am taking my third semes­ ter of German through the Open University program for people over 65. These are the first lan­ guage courses I’ve taken since high school, 55 years ago, and my first college courses in about 40 years. In general, my expe­ rience has been a very positive one. I have found my instructor, Astrid Ronke, to be enthusiastic in her presentation of the class work, and the students in my class to be responsive to her. It’s my understanding that many of the students in the first two semesters were taking the classes to fulfill a mandatory lan­ guage requirement. That still did not seem to result in a lack of interest in our class, and I believe that was due largely to Ms. Ronke’s stimulus, in the way she involved students in the course work and in the extracurricular activities of the German Club. As a former company executive, I must agree that any company and in this case, the communication with employees and for supervisory personnel to keep everyone ‘in the loop’ as to what is going on in the organiza- of 2002. The fact that she found the information out in a class­ room from.Qile of her students, who looked at a published class schedule, is completely unac­ ceptable by any personnel man­ agement standards and is a sad reflection on the language department, its supervisory personnel and the entire administrative staff of the university. There is no excuse for such behavior on the part of people who are employed to educate the young people of our community. Letter to the Editor university, must have standards, which are used to hire and retain personnel. However, I also know that it is important to hire and retain capable people and often those who are most capable are not always those with “creden­ tials.” It is also extremely impor­ tant to maintain open lines of grammar and length.

Beginning its third official season in Septem­ ber, the team has high hopes. “We took third last year and this year we’re hoping to take it all,” said Coach Khalid AlShafie. The team had a record of 5-5-1 last year and is hoping that this year its record will improve. According to coach AlShafie, “We’d like to have at least 18-20 players this year.” When asked what they’re looking for in players, Antonio Zepeda Jr, founder of the club, said. “Expe­ rience.”^Coach Al-Shafie added, “We’re looking for a high level of experience. Hopefully club level or even college level.” One thing that was added as a necessity for the new players was, “Disci­ pline.” The team is looking to play a minimum of 12 games for the upcoming season, and is hoping for at least eight of the games to be at home. The team practices on Fri­ days from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the next three practices con­ sisting of tryouts. “We want to see what [the newcomers] are made of. It’ll give us a chance to see the skill level,” said coach AlShafie. The team will continue to practice on Friday throughout the summer, with an additional day of practice still undecided. The team has six seniors who will be graduating next year. Once they graduate, the new­ comers to the team will have to keep the team solid for the coming years. The team, now a club, will hopefully become an official “sport” soon. With the building of The Clark Field House, the team will have the proper facilities and by then, they hope to have the commitment of the college.

Fifteen Cougars qualified for the NAIA Nationals out of a forty-person team roster. Junior Kris Houghton qual­ ified for the Nationals in the Men’s 5000 Meter Run with a personal best and school record of 14:26. Katherine Niblett, a Soph­ omore, ranks 9th in the NAIA and received her qualifying mark for Nationals by four seconds and her personal best in the Women’s 5000 Meter Run by over 40 sec­ onds. Head Coach and former Olympian Steve Scott set a goal in the beginning of the season to have at least seven team individ­ ual qualifiers for the nationals, yet an astounding fifteen quali­ fied. “If you set the bar high, people respond,” Coach Scott insists. “Everyone that is going has a legitimate shot at being an All-American. If we bring back seven All-Americans, it would be T he E uro and You: Im plem entation o f E urope’s N ew M onetary System a tremendous feat for our Univer­ sity,” Scott said. There will be one last oppor­ tunity for additional runners (who have not qualified) to meet the standards for the Nationals at the Claremont Classic on the week­ end of May 11. In order for a runner to qual­ ify, they must achieve a certain standard. An “A” is a score that automatically qualifies the runner for the NAIA Nationals and a “B” is a provisional qualifier. “There are still five people that are capa­ ble of qualifying and have a good chance, “ Scott explained. In previous years, Coach Scott would have taken three men and three women who made the B provisional standard to the Nationals, consequently “with budget cut backs we decided to only take the automatic qualifiers and no provisional,” Scott said. Robbie McClendon is a pro­ visional qualifier for the Nation­ als in the Men’s 1500 Meter Run and 3000 Meter Steeple Chase as a junior. “This weekend I have a good chance qualifying,” said McClendon. “Most people don’t know that we have one of the best teams in San Diego. It would be good for people to cheer on some good competition and come out and watch. (The team) has a lot of different people that make it fun and exciting. We have a good time out on the track. Having a good time makes it so much better to go out and run.” NAIA qualifiers are Renee Mac Donald, a senior; juniors Omar Zavala, Anthony Blacksher, Amy Cutshaw, Lucy Downey, Kris Houghton, Jason Williams, Brian Sullivan, Jes­ sica Walker; sophomores Andrea Jackson, Abril Jimenez, Kath­ erine Nibblet, and freshmen Tiffany Lowrey and Autumn Wright. Resource Fair Brings Community Together Before and After By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer More than 50 students and commu­ nity members flooded the Dome when the German Club presented special guest speaker Dr. Michael Wolff, Coun­ cil for Press Affairs of the German Consulate General in Los Angeles last Monday. Wolff lectured and discussed Europe’s new currency the Euro, and its economical and political implications, as well as social changes that followed the implementation of the new money. Welcomed by Astrid Ronke, German Studies professor and faculty advisor for the German Club and Dean Wil­ liams from department of Arts and Sci-. ences, Wolff introduced the Euro by handing out some banknotes and coins, so the audience could have an initial ‘hands-on’ experience with the new cash, its design and security features. 2>Article cont. on page 2 Top to Bottom: View f rom Science Hall Photo Alyssa Finkelstein and the concep­ tual image o f the new library - scheduled completion date - July I 18, 2003.

With clubs, busi­ nesses, and organizations as diverse as Carl’s Junior and Habitat for Humanity rep­ resented, there was a veritable smorgasbord of information. Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler and Cal State San Marcos President Alexander Gonzalez officiated. Upon walking onto the downtown Escondido park grounds, one Of the first things North County residents noticed was that the local homeless population had been temporarily replaced by festive booths and a D.J. stand blaring the eerie strains of the “Teletubbies” theme song. By walking just a bit further into the scene, it became appar­ ent that happy, well-loved children were the theme of the day.

Later in the week, I received a telephone call inquir­ ing if I was free for lunch and if I was free, the president would like to take me to lunch. He had an appointment cancellation and thought lunch would provide a better, more relaxing atmosphere to talk rather than squeezing a bunch of questions into a timecondensed half hour in a formal office interview. I still had a few days to prepare and since I am a reporter and a student, I put a bit of time and thought into different questions I would like to ask President Gonzalez. At the same time, I tried to think about what aspects of his job and person are neglected or pushed aside due to other more so-called “important” issues. I wanted to take a different angle because I realized that Alexander Gonzalez is the head of the university we attend, I am an integral part of the student media (if I like it or not), and not only have I never met him but the univer­ sity is Changing rapidly, and we (the press) had not talked to Mr. Gonzalez yet this semester. I apologize for the digres$ion; I do not want to back pedal too much, and I don’t want to get bogged down in all the explain­ ing; I just want to tell my story. Anyway, I decided to not get stuck on the political and busi­ ness aspects of the job as presi­ dent of a university and rather focus on a person to person or a James to Alexander level. university to place trust in each I pushed politics and business person to make the appropriate choices given specific circum­ stances.

The banknotes and coins of the single Cur­ rency of the European Monetary Union entered circulation on January 1, 2002.” Although, since Jan. 1,1999, the Euro has been an institutional currency for banks and other financial institutions with a fixed exchange rate. Wolff said what an enormous task it was for the banks to exchange the money and that “funny enough, luxury goods like boats and big cars were suddenly all paid in cash in December” to avoid the exchange hustle. Every European, who did not exchange old currency until Feb. 28, 2002, now has to address the politi­ cally independent European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany to do so. He also addressed the amazing amount of 14.24 billion notes that had to be printed. “ If placed end to end the notes would reach to the moon 5 times forth and back,” said Wolff. He also gave the historical background of the Euro. He said, “The launch of the Euro was a combination o f a decades long process.” With the establishment of the European Monetary System in 1979, European currencies were from Grant Middle School, a professional juggler, dancers from Georgia’s school of dance, and a demonstration by representa­ tives from the Escondido skate park. “It’s just so nice to see people getting involved, the kids love seeing all these people their age doing cool stuff,” said one mother. “I get a chance to put a face on the word ‘community.’” linked together and by 1986 the Single European Act implemented a single Euro­ pean market, meaning one trade zone. Wolff said that Europe eventually achieved the ambitious goals set by a Treaty in 1992, which “called for full economic and monetary union by 1999.” To express the Euro’s global influence on economics, Wolff cited the Chief Econ­ omist of the L.A. Times James Flanagan, who analyzed the recent rise of the Euro and fall of the dollar as a signal for “global transition and a decline in global depen­ dence of the U.S. economy.” He said the Euro’s ambition is to create “the largest, most powerful economic area’’ in which political unification and one big trade zone will benefit European price stability and budgetary discipline. The design of the Euro was determined by a competition launched in 1996, He said the winner was an Austrian, whose work was selected in a public survey. This is the second time Wolff has come to speak at Cal State San Marcos. “We [the German Consulate] always like to come here and give students the oppor­ tunity to learn more about what is going on in Europe,” said Wolff. His enthusi­ asm about communicating the matter was shown by his ability to engage the audi­ ence in a lively discussion. T hom as Jefferso n Sm nnt T .x « r C ongratulations 2002 Graduates!

What Is Global Warming Anyway? By CHAD MITCHAM For The Pride Solar energy (sunlight) is responsible for all life on earth. This energy comes to earth in the form of visible light that penetrates the atmosphere easily. Once in the atmosphere, clouds and the earth’s surface absorb some of this energy. The rest of the energy is re-radiated by the earth’s surface as infrared energy. It is this re-radiated energy being trapped by molecules in the lower atmosphere that gives rise to the warming of surface temperatures on the planet, also known as the “greenhouse effect”. Without the greenhouse effect, much of life as we know it could not exist on this planet, including our life. Certain molecules are better at trapping heat energy than others. Most of the molecules responsible for the greenhouse effect occur naturally in our atmosphere in the form of gases such as water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and ozone. For millions of years these gases have been formed, removed by natural processes, and reformed in a del­ icate balance, giving us the cli­ mate of our planet. The gases regulate the ratio of solar energy that reaches the earth’s surface to the amount that leaves the earth’s near-surface atmosphere (or troposphere) on its way back out to space. Humans disrupt this process by creating new greenhouse gases and producing, in too great of quantity, greenhouse gases that already exist. These gases add to the amount of radiated energy being trapped on its way back out. Most of the gases responsible for trapping heat occur as a result of the combustion (burning) of organic compounds, most impor­ tant to us, fossil fuels. When these fuels are burned they release (among other things) carbon diox­ ide and water vapor, both green­ house gases. Water vapor is regulated by the hydrologic cycle of the planet and is therefore mostly out of human control (unless we consider the human effects due to deforestation, etc.). Carbon dioxide only constitutes 0.036 percent of troposphere gases naturally, but because of our ability to generate large amounts globally by using automobiles as ing to try and reduce the global emissions of carbon dioxide. The ways in which this will be done and who will do what to reduce rampant carbon dioxide emis­ sions and blatant disregard for the effects still lies buried in contro­ versy. Some countries agree that developed nations should fund developing nations in their effort to curb emissions during devel­ opment. Other countries agree that each nation should take care of itself. If developing countries are i left to fend for | | | themselves, it is argued that they have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of developed nations who themselves An argument surrounding global warming is whether the are responsi­ addition o f large amounts o f carbon dioxide will lead ble for most to significant climate alterations, and how the altera­ tions could affect the global population.

Are Americans making good role models for developing countries? It is ironic, however, that the reversal to the global warming trend lies mostly in our hands. The existing forests need to be preserved as carbon “sinks” to trap C02 before it can trap heat. Most of these forests lands are tropical and are being burned (releasing C02 in the process) for farmland and pastures, and the wood being used as fuel for cook­ ing and heating. Those large for­ ests need to be preserved and new ones need to be planted world­ wide. New technologies need to be encouraged that reduce the dependency on fossil fuels for energy. And finally, yes finally, the inhabitants of the earth need to recognize their vital role in their own future and become involved in the process of conser­ vation and sustainability.

Some of the standouts were songs like “What?” “All I Do,” “MVP,” and “Ghetto Superstar.” The mes­ sages contained in his music talk about the percep­ tions of reality as an adolescent and romance issues such as love. In general he’s just having fun. In addition, cameo appearances by Lil Romeo, Lil Reena, Shaq, and Michael Jackson add flavor to his production. remy/hone You might want to turn the lights down low, get the hot bubble bath ready, and make sure you have enough candles before you pop in Remy Shand’s debut album “The Way I Feel.” The twisted collaboration of jazz, soul, and funk in this 11-track CD has critics pointing sim­ ilarities and influ­ ences to the works of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. However, the musical talents of Shand, exemplified in his work, show that he may not only have rec­ reated the wheel, but made it better. What makes Shand’s music go beyond original is the fact that he wrote all the songs, performed them, and played the fender bass, acoustic and electric guitar, a Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric piano, acoustic piano, clavinet, organ, alto and tenor saxophones, and all percussions to make what Although Corey’s material you hear on this phenomenal CD.

German isn’t a popular language to learn in San Diego or at CSUSM. Why would a student take a language that doesn’t guarantee it will allow you to complete the lan­ guage requirement for gradua-r tion? The answer is the innova­ tive teaching methods and vibrant persona of Frau (as she is affec­ tionately referred to by her stu­ dents). Astrid Ronke has built a program to be proud of. Small as it may be, the German program has had as many as 70 students and 4 courses. Frau acts as faculty advisor of the German club, one of the more active clubs at CSUSM. She also wrote the proposal for the newly passed German minor. Her per­ sistence is why students take her class, and her style is why they stay. Students can easily tell between professors who care and those who don’t; she is one who cares, and we appreciate that. Her students nominated her for the Brakebill Distinguished Profes­ sor award. Some have asked her to write their recommenda­ tions because she is the one who knows them best, and others have asked her .to hand them their diploma because she is the one who inspires them most. We will miss you Frau. Your departure is hard for us, because it wasn’t on the best of terms. It left us wondering, how could someone we respect so much be so disrespected? That is the life of a part time professor without a PhD, even if you have built a program from the ground U P* Frau fought for classes all along the way, in order to make the program grow, to allow stu­ dents to continue their studies, and in hopes that she would some­ day see one of her students gradu­ ate with that German minor. I have had the pleasure of “Students can easily tell between professors who care and those who don’t; she is one who cares, and we appreciate that.” working with Frau Ronke as VP and President of the German Club. Through her efforts, CSUSM has been brought a little bit of the German culture. We have seen BWW, Bratwurst, and German cinema hits. We have heard the sounds of traditional German car­ nival bands, and DJs spinning German rap and techno. The German consulate general has come to campus twice to speak, once on the 10-year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and during Europe’s historic change­ over to the Euro. Frau, we will miss you. A PhD you have not, but our hearts you most certainly do. Thank you for you passion and dedication to teaching. Most of all, thank you for giving us the gift of German. Frau, I cannot say it enough; you will be missed.

Thank you for giving stu­ dents a place to voice their opin­ ions. A. Nick Roest, Student Professor Ronke will remain in my memory as one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Her enthu­ siasm, her involvement with her students and her incredible gift of teaching are unsurpassed in my academic experience. In my opin­ ion, Professor Ronke was a far superior teacher to any of the pro­ fessors I’ve had with Doctorates. And after all, being an effective teacher is what really counts. I know she’ll find a better place than Cal State San Marcos, one that will give her the respect, To the Editors: regard and rewards she deserves.

In the case of the Dept, of World Lan­ guages, the degree is a Ph.D. This requirement guarantees that Cal State San Marcos students get top-of-the-line instruction by experts who, unlike adjunct faculty, are consistently and systemati­ cally reviewed by peers on their teaching, plus their schol­ arship, research and/or cre­ ative activity, and service to the University and the com­ munity. Tenure and promotion is not guaranteed for tenureline faculty but an end-result of a rigorous review process that demands excellence in all performance areas. • Since its inception, the Department of World Lan­ guages and Hispanic Lit­ eratures has endeavored to hire tenure-line faculty for all the languages it offers. It has recently completed the search for a tenure-line fac­ ulty member who will ensure the permanence and growth of German on our campus at a time that German programs are on a decline in enroll­ ments and institutional sup­ port nationwide. » L e tte r cont. on page 7 �io Possible Solutions for io Complaints By GEORGE BURGESS JR. Pride Staff Writer 1. The Computer Lab The computer lab and class­ rooms smell like feet, that includes my feet. Please, can we get some fresh air around here? I understand there are safety and maintenance hurdles to overcome with the windows, yet I fail to see how opening a window is enabling suicide. Can we try sui­ cide prevention classes; maybe increase our awareness of the signs that indicate suicidal thoughts? Does locking win­ dows, which creates hot and stuffy classrooms, eliminate the fifty other places on campus one could commit suicide? Preven­ tive education might serve to be more beneficial both on and off campus, while creating a more bearable and less conta­ gious environment. As for the computer printing system let’s cut our losses and move on. It is slow, unreliable and inefficient. There are only two possible reasons why it’s still in existence. One, the people with the authority to make pos­ itive change don’t realize what a disaster printing is, or two, they don’t care about the massive inconvenience it is to CSUSM’s students. The solution? EZ print. Track our printing and send us one easy bill at the end of each semester. At the bare minimum, install a change machine in the computer lab and freshen it up. Is that really so much to ask? 2. Parking I’ll give three to one odds that sometime over the next two years an expensive new parking proposal is implemented. It will most likely be slipped in for a vote right after a break or summer recess, before we can rattle our cages in protest. This is exactly what took place over winter break and came dangerously close to happening. The solution? Hold dear to the fact that future construction costs are not our responsibility and demand University interven­ tion. Parldng Services is a pri­ vate organization that can’t match the University’s growth without blowing the cost of parking into the stratosphere.

There are only two Jedi left when the first Star Wars starts, Obi-Wan and Yoda. Unless the rest of us went on vacation, we’re dead. I just hope I have a great death scene. That’s what acting’s all about —dying great!” “George has told me nothing. Absolutely nothing,” said Hayden to entertainment reporters at Skywalker Ranch, Lucas’ home. “I’ll have more mechanical parts in the next one for sure. I’m told I might get to sport the dark helmet. I’d like to kill Mace Windu. I love Sam. He’s supposed to be one of the most powerful Jedi.” But for the fans that fell for Padme and the romance of EPII, prepare for quite a difference in EPIII. “I’m going to be with child,” said Portman. “The next one, according to George, is going to be a trag­ edy., It’s going to be sad, but I’m looking forward to having more to do.” Yet, EPII was no stranger to tragedy what with death and destructioq sent out by villains to for the parking dilemma. 3. Smoking Many of us love debating about this one, but it really shouldn’t be such a big deal. Someone, whether it is a student group or staff member, please revamp the locations of the smoking areas. We should give equal consideration to the rights and convenience of smok­ ers and non-smokers. Currently, there appears to be a lot of gray area regarding where it’s accept­ able to smoke. The solution? Mark the smoking areas as clearly as non­ smoking areas and hopefully we can put this issue behind us. 4. Attitude How many times have we heard that we as students aren’t getting involved and are apa­ thetic? Personally, I don’t believe this. Just because the actions of our organizations and individu­ als don’t make the cover of the USA Today does not mean, they are nonexistent. There are some true activists in our community who spend countless hours orga­ nizing and participating in a plethora of events.

In a beautiful dis­ play of seamless CGI (computer animation recently used in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings} spe­ cial effects, viewers are treated to an incredible sight, a classic Star Wars duel between the evil Darth Tyranus and the Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda’s movements are so fast they almost become a blur as he jumps and fights in circles around Tyra­ nus. Never before have Star Wars fans seen a fight quite like this one. As viewers walk away from this film, they will begin to under­ stand how everything fits together. Episode II does a remarkable job of setting things up for how they will be in the later films.

This CD allows you to capture the old school, under­ ground hip hop joints that you probably didn’t pick up on vinyl or could find in the stores over a decade ago. The production work of DJ Fingaz uses a col­ laboration of blends, scratches and slams to hold this compi­ lation together. Likewise, the programming and music selec­ tion of songs keep you tuned in and attentive to see what he’ll play next. “Freestyle Session Mixtape Volume 2” is a good choice for the hip hop lovers out there or for music enthusi­ asts that want to take a musical trip into history. I’m sure that Volume 3 will be out soon. Graduation Blues So, there I was, sitting at my computer at home, working on several projects like all good little students at this point in the semester, especially when it is the last semester: three papers and a group presentation; fig­ uring out exactly who to send graduation announcements to* holding three different IM con­ versations at the same time with friends from local areas to Paki­ stan, and what should arrive in the mail today but something in what appeared suspiciously like an invitation envelope from our beloved alma mater. So, I’m thinking as I open this, “Who would be inviting me to something?” as if I was someone special at the univer­ sity. After opening this mis­ sive, a surprise beyond measure awaited me ! Did I say beyond measure? Well, I guess so, because I’ll never be able to figure out the cost of printing this item, includ­ ing the RSVP card, envelope, invitation and special insert, and who paid for it (was it the raised student fees or some special fund the president keeps stashed in his suit coat or something? I don’t know!). Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot to say what it was. Well, there in black and white (I think the official invitation was in offwhite eggshell, but what do I know? I’m colorblind) was an official invitation to the Com­ mencement Open House in honor of all of us soon-to-be graduates at Cal State San Marcos. Wasn’t this great? An official invite to bring my family and friends and show them around the campus where I have spent so much time and blood, sweat and tears (well, it sure seemed like it some of the time!) for the last few years. I would be proud to do that, especially since it was going to be an bpen house, which I understand to mean that there will be faculty and staff all around the campus with exhibits that my friends and family can talk to and all that kind of staff! Maybe even some refresh­ ments or something. Well, at least the Dome might be open. And then came the “oops!” I read the times and date of this wonderful event. Of course, I’m sure that ALL of you graduat­ ing seniors and post-graduates received one of these, so you don’t need to be told. But, for the sake of everyone, since we want to make sure that everyone is included as per the mission statement of good ol’ CSUSM, I’ll let everyone else know. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2002, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Okay, okay. Hold on, now! Many of you out there in reader land will think that this is a good time for the graduates. And in years past, it just might have been. Of course, that was when graduation ceremonies were held on campus. Ah, and there’s the rub this year. Graduation is not on campus or anywhere close to campus this year. I would have to say that whoever planned this wonderful event didn’t quite think it all the way through. Be patient, dear reader, for I will explain. First, the gradua­ tion ceremonies for this year are being held in Del Mar, approx­ imately 30 miles away from campus. Has anybody traveled on 78 and Interstate 5 on a Sat­ urday lately, especially to Del Mar? While not as bad traffic-wise as a weekday, there is the perma­ nent slowdown when you reach La Costa, to say nothing of the delay at the 78/1-5 merge, or any accidents that might cause additional slowdown. And even though there is a minimal amount of surface street travel, there are still the delays caused by traffic and traffic lights. So, comfortably* one might expect at least an hour or more to make the transit from CSUSM to Del Mar. Oh, I need to wait for my friends and relatives also, hoping they don’t get lost. Since some of them may be from out of the area and not familiar with the freeway system in our area, it would be good to make sure they can keep up with me. A further delay, you say? Possibly. See, I’m trying to plan this whole event down to the last detail. So, keep in mind that 10 AM to 3 PM time frame. I would lik§ for everyone to attend this open house. Since I happen to be a Liberal Arts major that means that I am going to have to be at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at least 30-45 min­ utes before my ceremony begins, which is at 1 PM. Of course, that means giving myself (and family and friends, so we’ll stip­ ulate that they are all with me the whole time) extra time to find a parking place, after paying for it, of course, and then time to walk in from the parking lot and find out exactly where I am sup­ posed to be and to ensure that my guests get seated. Oh, did I mention that CjSUSM is a com­ muter campus, and that we all have to drive from some dis­ tance to the campus from some­ place? Now, I live in Fallbrook, and the fastest route I have found to the campus from my house takes an average 45 minutes to drive safely within limits that my guests can also follow. I have friends that drive in from up in Riverside County and down from Ramona and other distant places. And I want to leave time for my guests to get the full benefit of the open house. That would make the most sense, wouldn’t it? C’mon, admit it, you know how you hate being rushed around on a tour and how rude it is to only spend a minute or two talking to someone, like maybe your favorite professors who just might be at the campus. Won’t they? Sure they will! Unless they are required to be at the graduation ceremony. Gee, I wonder if the facili­ ties folks and police are going to be the only ones at the open house? Think they’ll just unlock everything and leave it that way? No? Guess not. Gotta pay that » O p im o n cont. on page 7 �Opinions The Pride Poor Journalistic Practices » L e tte r cont. from page 5 • When the Department offers a pro­ gram off campus, it requires that the instruction be of the same quality that students expect to get on campus, during the regular academic year. I hope that by considering the above, your readers will reach conclusions that were obviously not available to them by the poor journalistic practices of your Graduation Blues » O p m ion cont. from page 6 overtime. So, since I graduate at 1 PM, and I should leave the campus at approxi­ mately 11 AM, or no later than 11:15 to insure there is enough time to get through the traffic, find parking, walk in, locate everything, get the cap and gown on, check in, get anything else like an honors stole to put on your gown for the cer­ emony, and be ready to file into the cor­ rect spot (phew!), that leaves us about 1 hour for our leisurely enjoyment of the campus. Now, l ean do this, as can my guests. But, they won’t see much, nor enjoy some­ thing that the administration is hopefully going to make meaningful for the gradu­ ates and their guests. And don’t forget the seniors graduating at 9 AM.* They’ll be able to enjoy about an hour and a half of the open house if they rush right out after their ceremony ends to dash up the free­ way to the campus. Right? Actually, it looks like the ones who will be able to enjoy the open house the most are the Master’s candidates and those receiving their teaching credential since their ceremony doesn’t start until 4:30 PM. I salute you! You’ve put in more time at CSUSM than I have, so you deserve it! But, the invitation is to all of us. Gee, now that presents a problem. So, how can we rectify this? Maybe extend the hours of the open house? Start earlier and end later? Maybe. Hold it another day? Probably not. We know how things get etched in stone sometimes, especially something like this. Maybe we could writers. More importantly, as the paper of the university where I have taught since it opened to students, that The Pride will stay true to its name and set a better example as to what it means to exercise free speech responsibly and judiciously. Stella T. Clark, Ph.D., Professor of Spanish and founding member of the Department of World Languages and Hispanic Literatures change the location of the graduation cer­ emonies to someplace on campus, or at least close? I could suggest the football field, or even the soccer field. And they have the additional advantage of having free parking! Probably not. * We have discussed and protested, and presented and all that concerning having the graduation at the campus, and we all know the answers. Del Mar here we come! Well, maybe in the future there could be a little better planning for something like this. Maybe those of you who are going to graduate from CSUSM in the future can start planning now for better logistics, can start campaigning for more use of logic and common sense. Of course. I’m only a Liberal Arts major, with a minor in History, so that doesn’t quite qualify me, I guess, to make all those busi­ ness decisions that set things like this up that don’t make sense, and that waste tax­ payer dollars, and people’s precious time. Oh, didn’t I mention that I was a taxpayer? But that is another issue altogether. So, those of you that are going to be able to attend the Open House, I wish you well. Honest! Enjoy ! And those of you in the administration and facilities and faculty and staff, enjoy the small atten­ dance. It will make your job easier. Oh, and thank you for this wonderful invita­ tion to this spectacularly well-conceived event. Again. Unfortunately, like so many others, I’ll miss this last event, too. Ronald D.

Is that really so bad? Over­ all morale and school spirit are better than we give ourselves credit for. How many CSUSM shirts did you see today? The solution? Let’s stop the deprecating comments regard­ ing student involvement; they are inaccurate and counterproductive. If we/are currently involved in something, maybe we could try inviting a stranger to join us. Sounds cheesy right? The truth is I wouldn’t be writing for The Pride if someone hadn’t invited me to take LTWR 316. 5. The Book Store If you feel robbed after you sell your books back at the end of the semester, you’re not alone. I’m as broke as the next person and twenty bucks buys a lot of Top Ramen, however, I would rather eat my books than con­ tribute to a system which clearly cares more about profits than its students. The solution? Boycott the bookstore until it offers fair prices for book returns. Even better, let’s have our first CSUSM pep rally; in our bonfire we can bum our books in protest of the unfair sellback prices. If that’s too much for you because you’re strapped for cash, try Adams Ave. Book Row in San Diego. You may get a much better deal. 6.Class Schedule The only thing worse then opening a schedule and finding that the class you need isn’t being offered is having to pay two dollars to find this informa­ tion out. You may have guessed; I’m the cheapskate who accesses the schedule online. Charging for class schedules is an unwarranted slap in the face to students. It is just another way to nickel and dime students to death. The solution? Refuse to buy a schedule until they are free. Use the Internet instead. At least bury the schedule printing fees in our tuition. It’s a sad thing, but I’ve seen people hqve to borrow money for a schedule. 7. Graduate Students/Teachers Technically considered “adjunct staff members,” there are a number of graduate stu­ dents who teach General Educa­ tion classes at the University. In my experience, they are gener­ ally fresh, enthusiastic and very in touch with student issues, which is ironic considering they are paid poorly and don’t receive any med­ ical, or dental benefits. These unappreciated teachers can’t even get a staff parking spot. Tuesday, May 14,2002 7 CAMPUS SEAT “How do you feel about this year’s commencement b eing held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds?” By KATERI RODGERS Responses from some of our graduating seniors: “I think it’s great because the race track is nicer. There’s better parking. People will be coming from out of town and it will be good to see that area.” - Janet Shick, Psychology “No problems: There’s going to be a reception. My only concern is that J wanted my family to see the campus.” - Kami Tebyani, Business Graduate students who also teach generally work double the amount of hours they get paid for and have no union representation. Congratulations to the staff and the CFA on your new contract settlement, now let’s take care of your future colleagues. There is an old saying, which seems appropriate here, “personnel is your most valuable asset.” The solution? Increase their pay and get them some benefits, it won’t break the bank. At the bare minimum let them park with the rest of the staff. 8. Federal Holidays Honoring Caesar Chavez’s birthday is progressive but not when we disregard other federal holidays. This year’s calendar managed to avoid a major con­ flict, yet a new year is on the hori­ zon. Veterans Day, according to the 2002-2003 academic calendar approved on February 13, will be ignored along with Washington’s Birthday and Columbus Day. Lets face it, federal holidays are out­ dated, Christmas and Easter are religious holidays, Columbus was no saint and George Washington was a slave owner. Still, I would rather try my luck with die fed­ eral government than leave the holiday calendar up to any Uni­ versity’s staff. After all, in 1994 Martin Luther King’s Birthday was declared a federal holiday and I would imagine in time “At first I was disappointed when I heard it was going to be at Palomar because you won’t get the full expe­ rience. They’re going to do what they have to do. I just accepted it and moved on.” - Cleto Cortez, Human Development “I was fairly disappointed it can’t' be at a school where my family can see where I went. But I wasn’t going to go if it was going to be at Palomar.” - Amanda Kellogg, Finance Columbus Day will be removed from the list. To me that is prog­ ress. Meanwhile, the University is attempting to erase the 872,969 lives, which were sacrificed in the name of freedom and democ­ racy, between the Revolutionary War and the Gulf War. The Uni­ versity’s substitution is appar­ ently the lone fruit farmer and activist Caesar Chavez. Veterans are males and females represent­ ing every race, as opposed to one. Right now there are as many as 25,000 young American men and women deployed throughout the “Central Region” or Middle East, some who we know, will never return. Much like the hundreds of thousands of veterans before them, who for no better reason than wanting to serve their coun­ try, made the ultimate sacrifice. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs the veteran population was estimated at 25.6 million, as of July 1,1997. Nearly 80 of every 100 living veterans served during defined periods of armed hostilities. At the time, this number represented one third of the total U S population, and many are working on degrees here at CSUSM. Columbus Day; no! Thanks­ giving Day; yes. Does that mean that Spanish colonization was a bad thing and English coloni­ zation is something we should celebrate? Really, is our aca­ demic calendar any more socially enlightened than the federal holi­ day calendar? Disregarding federal holidays destroys the only established guidelines we have to go by; without them we transfer unbri­ dled authority to individuals who wifi naturally favor their individ­ ual race or organizations while disregarding others. How danger­ ous has that become in the past? The solution? Honor all the federal holidays. There is time and justification to do so. 9. Religious Tolerance We aren’t there yet folks, not racially, sexually and not even close religiously. I never thought I would see the day when the free speech area on campus would be suddenly changed in the middle of a demonstration. Religious intol­ erance is our biggest and most volatile problem. The solution? Everyday we might remind ourselves to seek objectivity and practice tolerance towards other religious groups. Regardless, of how wrong or dif­ ferent they may appear to us, we should try harder if we truly desire to evolve. 10.

By using a different source of financial support and fee rev­ enue bonds, Davis proposed the funding to complete this proj­ ect in a $651 million economic -stimulus package, which gave legislative approval to place the education bond before the voters. This would allow facil­ ity construction to begin imme­ diately and be completed eight to 12 months earlier than previ­ ously scheduled. According to Russell Decker, director of planning, design, and construction for CSUSM, work on the building will begin immediately in the affected departments. Although administrators at Cal State San Marcos may have been ecstatic, some stu­ dents felt more concerned than delighted. “I hoped that the commit­ tee involved with the planning would provide us with a formal presentation that would inform us about the future plans of this college and how it would bene­ fit its students and faculty,” said Peter Ulatan, Service Sector Management business major. “I didn’t even know our campus received that amount of money, until I read The North County Times.” Likewise, Judy Brown, HTM business major, added, ‘As a freshman, I am glad that we have the opportunity to expand and stabilize our » A rticle cont. on pg. 2 Vol. XIII No.13/ Tuesday, May 7,2002 Associated Students Inc.

Winners of the leadership awards were given a plaque to com­ memorate their achievement. ASI sponsored the event. According to Arti Patel, ASI executive vice president, “Every­ thing went perfectly.” The event began with a dinner followed by speeches from ASI President Dustin Naylor and University President Alexander Gonzalez prior to the distribu­ tion of awards. The American Indian Stu­ dent Alliance (AISA) recognized Rita Reynolds as “Member of the Year,” while the CSUSM MeCha organization chose Lorenza Lopez as “Mechista of the Year.” The Latin World Understanding Student Associ­ ation’s team player of the year award went to Martha Sarabia, who also received The Pride’ s “Editor of the Year” award during Friday night’s celebra­ tions. Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan recognized Margarita Preciado, and the CSUSM Victorious Club honored its advisor, Tim Bills, as “Member of the Year.” The clubs themselves pre­ sented the second group of awards. Katrina Baughman pre­ sented the award for the PreLaw Society to Brenda Alonzo. Stephen Descollonges presented Delta member of the year award to Christina Wisecarver, and Chris Compton, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, presented his fraternity’s award to Benja­ min Bankofsky. Cory Barnhart received the award for the ASI men’s lacrosse team. Patel and ASI Vice Pres­ ident of Finance Josh Heers presented the third group of awards. The Finance and Invest­ ment Club “Member of the Year” was awarded to Jeffrey Chernovetz, and the Accounting Society named Pete Wyndham “Officer of the Year.” Lindsey Hilz was named the “Alpha Chi of the Year” by the Alpha Chi Omega organization on campus.

Fellow member James Nguyen gave the Asian Pacific Student Society’s award to Charles Manalili, and Crystal Rodriguez presented the Pan African Student Alliance award to Honee Folk. Sorority president Erin O’Tool presented the Alpha Xi of individual awards.

SEGALL For The Pride When Ted Burgos-DeStephanis and Curt Eichperger wrote research papers on the last Afri­ can king and European colo­ nialism in Haiti, ' respectively, they probably didn’t think their research papers would be read by anyone other than their profes­ sors. But the two history majors made their marks in history this past April, when they presented those research papers to hun­ dreds of college students and professors from Southern Cali­ fornia. The two took part in the Phi Alpha Theta Regional Paper Competition April 6 at Loyola Marymount University, where only 32 students from Southern California universities were chosen to present their papers. History professor, Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, Ted Burgos-DeStephonis and Curt Eichperger Photo Courtesy of Dr: Sepinwall “We went around to different panels and heard students pres­ ent their papers,” said Burgos. “I heard one student present on the first flying automobile - it was very interesting.” For his paper, Burgos explored the life of one of the last native African kings in power before European » A r ticle cont. on pg. 3 William Sap­ phire Speaks at California C enter for the A rts William Sapphire Pride Photo/Melanie Addington ByAMYBOLASKI Graduate’Intem “Colin Powell’s decision to not crush Sadam Hussein was the greatest strategic blunder of our generation.’’ Political pundit and vet­ eran New York Times colum­ nist William Safire’s declaration elicited audible cheers from an audience composed of Cal State San Marcos’ faculty and Students, community members and local government officials on Tuesday, April *30 at the CSUSM-sponsored lecture at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The cost of the lecture was approximately $30,000. After a brief introduction from CSUSM president Alex­ ander Gonzalez, Safire, a self-proclaimed “Libertarian/ Republican . . . iconoclast,” covered everything from the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to National Security Advisor Com daleesa Rice’s chance at the vice-presidency to his close relationship with Israeli presi­ dent Ariel Sharon to the relative unimportance of global warm­ ing during his “What’s Going on in Washington” speech a speech he himself called a “harangue.” While some of his statements gained Safire audi­ ence approval, others provoked several attendees. “The guy’s a snake,” said PAN president. Erik Roper. “How could he pos­ sibly decide that no one’s con­ cerned with global warming? I’m dumbstruck.” Several audience members reacted with obvious distaste to Safire’s answer to an audience member’s question. A woman asked Safire how to determine whether an Islamic organiza­ tion (in the United States) was dangerous, to which Safire replied, “You do nof automati­ cally assume an Islamic orga­ nization is a threat; you » A r tic le cont. pg. 8 �Hurdling Through the Pain By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer Jason E. Williams placed a respectable second place in the 400-meter hurdle at the 74th annual Mount Sac Invitational in Walnut, California. Only the top 25 runners in the entire county are invited to race on the second day of (Sunday, April 21) this American classic. His mark of 52.5 was the fastest time of any sophomore that competed. “I didn’t do as well as I should have; it’s still a good time but not for me,” said Williams. There is not an athlete in history that has been absolutely immune to the threat of being hurt or injured. Unfortunately, the same can be said for track and field star Williams. Last Saturday at the UCSD Open Meet, Williams pulled a ham­ string, which has been hurting him for some time. “Its all part of the sport; I was running very fast and the weather was very cold,” Williams said. Williams trains at the San Marcos High School gym and is seeking assistance from a phys­ ical therapist off-campus to ice and perform ultrasounds treat­ ments on his pulled hamstring. “Just like the engine of a car that shows signs of needing to be fixed, my hamstring was showing signs, and then my engine finally blew out,” said Williams. Nevertheless, this has not stopped him from attending practice to give moral support to the rest of the team. “I have to remain positive and not going to quit even though I’m hurt.” Williams still plans to compete in the National Associ­ ation of Intercollegiate Athletics Nationals in Kansas at the end of May. “I have worked too hard to stop now,” Williams insists.

Sheath gave a presentation entitled “The Scum of the Earth: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Algae” on Thursday as part of CSUSM’s Arts & Lectures series. “Since I studied algae, I became very interested in the subject and my main goal of the presentation was to allow others to take on the same inter­ est,” said Sheath. Many profes­ sors from CSUSM attended the lecture with an open mind to learn more about its uses and effects. Sheath is an esteemed psy­ chologist who obtained his Ph.D. in Botany at the Univer­ sity of Toronto in 1977. He has served as dean, professor and chair at numerous universities. Sheath received the Darbaker Prize from the Botanical Soci­ ety of America in 1997 and was nominated for the Teaching Excellence Award at the Uni­ versity of Rhode Island.

Stu­ dents who participated were free to write on anything historical, and papers that were selected for theTcompetition were presented at Loyola Marymount in a setup similar to a professional histori­ cal conference. “Except that it’s for students,” said Burgos. In his paper, “What to Do, Where to Go? Decisions for the White People of Santo Domingo After the Insurrection of the Blacks,” Eichperger delved into the aftermath of the revolutions against European colonizers in Santo Domingo (the former name of Haiti). “He showed how one group that had all this power and under­ went all these transitions dealt with losing power after the slaves revolted and gained power,” said Sepinwall. Eichperger had writ­ ten the paper in Sepinwall’s His­ tory 301 class last fall, in which students focused on relations between the U.S. and Haiti at the end of the 18th century. “Both papers were very well researched and well written, and they presented with a lot of poise,” said Sepinwall. “It was a great experience for us, and especially for those fieds SW IM INSTRUCTO RS $10 $16 per hour 760-744-7946 Fraternities ~ Sororities ~ C lubs ~ Sports Teams - Stu­ dent Groups E arn $1000 - $2000 w ith the easy Cam pus Fundraiser three hour fundraising event.

With a wall of black diner-like seat cushions behind them, which is used to keep the noise low for the surrounding residen­ tial neighborhood, Beulah began with great enthusiasm. When asked to describe the type of music they play, Bill Swan, gui­ tarist, trumpet player and one of the singers of the band, said, “I would definitely classify us as rock n’ roll, but you’ll have to make up your own mind on the matter.” The band is definitely the Beatles of the 21st century, with its upbeat rhythms mixed with fun, sixties-like lyrics. But the intense guitar overlay, synthe­ sizer and the awesome trumpet action make it feel like a defi­ nite solid part of our generation hot to mention the hundred or so, bouneing, lively, twenty-some­ things that crowded the small dance floor. Despite the annoying feed­ back that occurred a few times during the show, the band gave a spectacular performance and kept everyone excited. When fin­ ished, the band was encored and played a few more songs, ending at close to two in the morning, a stan­ dard at t he REVIEW Casbah. When asked how the band started, Swan stated, “It was actually an accident. It was a side project that somehow worked.” The band slowly came together in the fall of 1997, but got off the floor in 1999. Beulah has toured the U.S., Europe and Canada and is on a coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. The tour, entitled “The Coast is Never Clear,” started in Denver, CO., sold out in L.A., and is ending on May 4 in its hometown of San Francisco. On April 16, Beulah made a guest appearance on The Conan O’Brien Show, a sign that they are quickly moving their way up. Beulah is a band that will definitely leave its mark on the music industry. CSUSM Play Performed at Vista Playhouse By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor “Dona Criba,”: a Cal State San Marcos school play, which premiered last December, was performed at Vista’s AVO Play­ house on Friday and Saturday. What started as a school play has now become a play for the community of the North County area, especially for the Spanish speaking community. Almost all of the actors and actresses in this play are CSUSM students who have formed a theater group called Dionysus. According to Carlos von Son, CSUSM professor of Spanish, the group decided to name the group after the Greek god, Dionysus, who was the god of theater. Besides stu­ dents whose first language is Spanish, this theater group also includes students whose first lan­ guage is English, as well as other languages. Actresses of two of the tnain characters expressed their enthu­ siasm at being part of this play. Lucinda Bernardino, a Liberal Studies and Spanish major, added, “We’re very happy to be in this play with Mr. Von Son.” Soledad Acuna, a Spanish major, said, “I feel very proud, some­ thing that makes me feel very important even though I don’t make anything financially. It is something that makes me feel proud; it’s going to be forever, for me, for my family, and for the rest of my descendants.” Although the students are not receiving any credit for doing this, many are happy to just be a part of it. Bernardino said, “It’s been a great experience ... None of us are getting any credi^for school, none of us have been forced to do it, we just do it have Spanish entertainment,” Bernardino said. Von Son also said, “With the large population of Spanish-speaking immigrants; it’s really a need for this type of event.” Due to the interest of stu­ dents in theater, von Son said, “We’re in the process of draft- A Scene from “ Dona Criba ” Pride Photo/Martha Sarabia because we like it a lot.” Acuna added, “We really enjoy it.” Von Son said, “I feel so proud of my students. They have done a beautiful job. They are volun­ teering their time and so much work and effort.” Both also said that they never thought that after performing “Dona Criba” for CSUSM they would perform it to the outside community. How­ ever, von Son was asked to bring this play to the community by Vista’s AVO Playhouse. “It’s also to contribute to our own people who don’t really Respected. ing a proposal needed to offer a Spanish theater minor. Hope­ fully, one day we can have a minor in theater in Spanish ... It would be aligned with the goals of the university, with our mis­ sion statement. It would be a cel­ ebration of diversity.” About 130 and 145 people went to see the play on Friday and Saturday respectively. Dona Criba, written by von Son, is about the impact of technology in a small town in Mexico, and how this affects the lives of its people. mm Innovative. w w m * II M I 11 I m i s MBE Compassionate.

It was highly encouraging to know that out of the 6600+ students here at CSUSM, there were at least 633 who thought I’d do a good job. To those of you who voted, I say, “much respect, and thank you for supporting democracy (no doubt it was all those people.with flags on their cars down in the parking lot.”) But that’s not why I’m writ­ ing this piece. After the election, one of my colleagues, who also ran for office, told me something that made my jaw drop. Apparently, there were more than a few stu­ dents that had talked to this other prospective student leader during the campaigning period before the election, about me, and said that they didn’t want to see me elected because they felt I rep­ resented an undesirable element. An undesirable element that they felt there was already too much of around here and that they didn’t want to see more of on this campus. My colleague told me that some students who talked to him felt that I seemed too radi­ cally liberal, and they were also worried that my election might trigger a fundamental shift in the political climate of the student body. He said some students were saying (with obvious dismay in their voices) things like, “. . .next thing you know this place is going to be crazy and crawling with student activists, like Berke­ ley.” When I heard that, I had to laugh. Believe me; the last thing I would ever want is for CSUSM to turn into another Berkeley. Just think about how horrible that would be. Who wants to be surrounded by a bunch of socially conscious students dis­ satisfied with the status quo who passionately care about the world they live in and who actually do stuff to try and make it better? Not me, that’s for sure. No really, I’m serious, I think it’s so much better that we are on a campus that is the exact opposite. For me, there’s nothing more amus­ ing than to hear many o f my fellow students bitch and moan about how this place sucks so bad and then watch the vast majority of them do absolutely nothing to try and make it better. You know, lately the weather’s been kind of chilly, but that’s no prob­ lem because with all the hot air that blows out of many stu­ dents’ mouths, I can wear shorts and T-shirts 24-7. But actually, I shouldn’t be so hard on my fellow students because sometimes, just for kicks, I blow hot air myself. For instance, I recently sent an e-mail to the Inter-Club Council(ICC) list-serve in which I ripped on The Pride in brutal fashion saying, “(The Pride) was boring, lame, and worst of all, highly irrelevant.” This statement angered some people, especially in light of the fact that, at the time, I’d done absolutely nothing this semester to try and make The Pride better. Since then I’ve talked with one of the edi­ tors, become educated about the myriad of difficulties faced by publishing a student paper (one of the biggest problems being that they simply just need more quality student input), commit­ ted myself to submitting pieces to The Pride, and began urging those I know to do likewise. So, I guess you could say I’ve learned a lesson. The lesson being (how­ ever cliche) that action speaks louder (and is a helluva lot more effective) than words. A wise person once said, “Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruit­ ful.” In other words, if you see something around CSUSM that’s wrong, stupid, inefficient, or just plain sucks, don’t just complain about it, DO SOMETHING. It seems that in our society (and especially here at CSUSM) a majority of us have bought into the notion that we are passive powerless victims who have to accept whatever THEY have in store for us, as if our lives were meant to be lived as nothing more than mindless, easily-manipu­ lated consumers who have no choice but to take whatever it is THEY’re shovelin’. Mindless Passive Powerless Easily-Manip­ ulated Victim Consumers - Is that how you see yourself? One of these days I’m going to make myself a t-shirt that says, “YOU ARE THEY.” I often hear fellow students (and I’ve been guilty of this myself) saying, “THEY should offer better food in the Dome.” or “THEY should provide us with more fun activities/events on campus.” or “THEY should make this place more colorful.” or “The Pride sucks; THEY should make it cooler.” or “THEY shouldn’t make our social security num­ bers be our student ID numbers.” or “THEY should ________ (fill in the blank).” Wow! THEY sure seem to have a lot of responsi­ bilities. Maybe the reason THEY weren’t able to attend to all these suggestions is because THEY were busy with all their other obligations. In the meantime, what were you doing? Yeah, I know the story; you’ve got a family, a job, your sanity to maintain, and somehow you still have to make time to get some of this school nonsense done. So, you ask, “When would I possibly have time to do some­ thing about these things I see that need changing?” I don’t know. That’s something you’re going to have to answer for yourself. What I can tell you is that you’re not powerless and you don’t have to settle for the status quo if you don’t want to. Another wise person said, “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.” Think The Pride sucks? Start contributing to the publication. Think the food in the Dome sucks? Go talk to the manager Melanie and ask her what you have to do to get some changes rolling. Think there should be more cool events for students on campus? Go talk to the people in SRL and ASI and ask how you can help out (What do you REALLY think about the new logo THEY’re proposing to adopt without student input). Think CSUSM shouldn’t use your SSN as your student ID number? Go ask someone in the admissions office (right next to the rectangle of trees in Founders’ Plaza) for the form you have to fill out to get a new and improved, random, computer-generated student ID number, which should take you all of five minutes. Think smok­ ers shouldn’t smoke in the U-Hall stairwell? Go talk to facilities and ask if they’ll move the ashtrays and put up no smoking signs in the stairwell, and if they refuse you might consider getting a peti­ tion started or getting the sup­ port of the student health center. No one student can fix every­ thing that needs fixin’ here at CSUSM. There are a handful of students around here who try. But the sad truth of the matter is that we won’t accomplish much unless more students contribute. Every time you complain but don’t do anything to try and make whatever it is you’re complaining about better, not only are you not helping, but you’re actually part of the problem. If you want -to be even more honest with your­ self, you’ll realize that every time you say, “THEY suck . . with­ out any action, what you’re really saying is that, “I suck . . . ” because we all have the power to change the world we live in (especially here in the CSUSM microcosm). So, next time you feel like going off on one of those THEY this and THEY that rants, remember YOU ARE THEY. Inside The Mind of a Conservationist, Clarity While Surfing By Ray Hines For The Pride The environment has a finite amount to give to support life. The same water that I surfed in this morning could have been the water that Cleopatra bathed in centuries ago. I believe I am connected to all other things on Earth because I am made up of the same substances. Very few elements make up a living being, and the fact that we consider the living to have power oyer the non-living assumes that we are more important. That assump­ tion couldn’t be further from the truth. All living, or biotic, compo­ nents of this planet depend on the non-living, or abiotic, com­ ponents to provide vitamins and minerals to sustain life. I think of the wolves walking around in Northern Minnesota looking for a place to deliver their spring pups deserve the same right to a home as a Seattle e-commerce executive. I feel my role on this planet is to do as little harm as I can to my living counterparts and try to use as little of my non-living counterparts as le a n to ensure future generations the same necessities. I also feel that mankind is an important and exceptional creature. We have the capacity and intelligence to destroy and create. I think it is man’s job to figure out how to become self-sufficient and in this day of technology and organi­ zation, this ability is going to come through hardship and force. I have confidence that man can procure his own future, but he has to be willing to accept the responsibility and challenge of doing so. Living things can either defend themselves or they cannot. As it says in the Bible, “What you do to the least of your broth­ ers that you do unto me.” It is linked to the Native American belief, “Mother Earth, Sister Sky, Brother Eagle, and Father Moon.” Each of these things is considered whole and by giving them names, we have given them recognition. This relates to both relationships between people and relationships between things, I have studied a lot of science, and it even falls true in chemical reactions, there is always a factor that is limiting and that key factor decides the fate of the overall reaction. I take time to think of ways to behave in an environmentally friendly way. I carry a Vi liter water bottle and fill it as many as eight times a day. This assures me that I am drinking enough water as well as reducing eight cups worth of litter from the land­ fill or eight containers worth of recycling. I drink water because it is easiest for my body to digest. Also, it can be consumed with­ out much packaging, commer­ cials, or excessive transportation. I know it’s just water we’re talk­ ing about, but a lot of thought can go into such a simple thing. I try to buy nature-friendly, wellbuilt products (even if they cost a little more) to comply with the “reduce, reuse, recycle” strategy. Quality products last longer (or stay out of the landfill longer, however you look at it) and need to be replaced less. I have taken* several courses in the past few semesters that are related directly to environ­ mental studies. I have looked for­ ward to political science courses to help me (a biology student) understand how our government policies are formed. Also, I have taken voting very seriously since I turned 18. I try to research thoroughly before I vote. I have become a member of KPBS public radio and listen daily in an effort to stay in tune with what is going on politically in my world. I don’t really like the cur­ rent political system, but I under­ stand nothing is easy when a lot of people are involved and that allows me to have patience and hope for our future. I don’t watch television at home. I have a VCR that I use to watch videos and documenta­ ries I can get from the library on topics I am interested,in. I haven’t watched regular TV or cable for over 10 years on a reg­ ular basis. This has allowed me more time to be outside, enjoying the planet that I try to consider in my daily actions. It gives my friends and I time to enjoy each other and discover our many tal­ ents, namely playing music and sports. I think it is important to know that you are a special person and to recognize why you are that way. When it rains and runoff pollutes the ocean where I surf, it affects my whole person. When I hear about some environ­ mental catastrophe somewhere that too leaves me unsettled. I feel like we are all con­ nected, so a problem in one geographic location doesn’t just affect the people there, it affects everybody. I, too, affect the envi­ ronment with everything I do. I breathe out carbon dioxide. I eat of the biomass that makes up resources for other, more effi­ cient animals. I am a poor heat conserver. I have to eat from a higher tropic level to gain energy to keep myself warm. I drive a car like everyone else, and our exhaust emits tons of pollutants into the air. I demand light when it’s dark outside, burning coal for my electricity. I buy things that come in non-renewable, nondegradable packaging because they “just come that way.” I flush my self-generated waste down the toilet and off to some energy intensive treatment plant before it ends up in the very water I am swimming in. I can’t think of very many things I do that don’t affect the environment, except perhaps sitting in a quiet place and enjoying it. I traded my gas guzzling, machine-oriented sports in for nature friendly ones. I used to dirt bike, water-ski, snowmobile, street bike, and those sorts of things, but now I cross-country ski, snowboard, bicycle, kayak, windsurf, sail, and surf for excite­ ment. I also teach adults to sail and windsurf. In my lectures, I point out the environmental ben­ efits of them choosing a winddriven sport for their recreation. I encourage them to turn other people on to the sport and request that they all complete a Cal Boat­ ing test. This test is actually a way of sending a message to Sac­ ramento that people in Southern California are concerned about their safety and the condition of their bays and waterways. Each time a test is sent to the capitol, to the Department of Boating and Waterways, it says one more person is concerned. I feel that these small changes in myself and the way that my position as a teacher can influence people’s decisions has helped to better the environment in some small way.

You can help yourself, the environment, and me. You can save energy, produce money, and reduce the trash that is dumped into our landfills. Your con­ science has been nagging you: “Environment, environment, I know there’s some kind of crisis. What can I do?” Start here, where you eat. Here are a few suggestions: How many napkins do you need? A big pile or one? When you take a pile, they fall on the floor and then are disposed of, unused. Also, in the Dome’s out­ side area, the wind blows the unused napkins all over, making an unsightly mess - not a fun place for you and your guests to dine. What a waste of money and of the trees that the napkins are made from. What can you do? Take ONE napkin. Yes, you can recycle, right here. We are fortunate that Cal State San Marcos has placed recycling containers inside and outside the Dome, within easy reach.

I even heard some people say that it’s only one “powerful drink packed with six different liquors.”) When arrested by Mexican police, he is not scared “because he had been in the Rosarito jail the year before.” Statistics show that twice as many students have died at the hands of drunk driv­ ers since the terrible 9/11 attack than were killed in the terrorist tragedy. Using a travel article to have another night of “dancing, drinking and debauchery” is a sad commentary on college life.

One Saturday’s worth of pay for students that depend on Sat­ urday work wages could be major inconveniences for many. I know of one person at Cal State San Marcos that works weekends and To the Editors: In last weeks issue of The Pride, there* was a paid adver­ tisement about the denial of benefits and disability. I have read many articles in The North County Times about Cal State San Marcos’ high-up people dis­ criminating against other lower staff members. It saddens me, and makes me ashamed to go to this school. This school has a great mission statement and pushes all students to be accept­ ing, tolerant, and open-minded. I wonder if the chancellor and the administration believe in the mission statement and act accordingly. I have also noticed that To the Editors: *Editor’s Note* This is a response to a letter in last week’s Pride. Excuse me, I do go to a real university; Cal State San Marcos is a real university. For ydur information, CSUSM is a step above junior college. Many stu­ dents go to Mira Costa or Palomar junior college in order to transfer to a four-year univer­ sity, like CSUSM. Some will go to UCSD or UCLA, and many will come to CSUSM. You don’t have to question our intellect; if he takes Saturday off, he has to take Sunday off as well. That’s a whole week of his pay lost because the school doesn’t know how to schedule its finals properly. When looking at a classes to take, I would think the final would be sometime around when that class meets, or at least the days that class is scheduled during the semester. What were CSUSM MOST, ’not all, of the admin/ staff/and faculty here at CSUSM do not have the students’ best interest in mind. They are not helpful, not courteous, and give wrong information. CSUSM is unlike other more established schools because our school has very few good or useful depart­ ments to help students succeed and have a good college experi­ ence. Can I contact anyone about how I feel? Will my opinion make a difference? Or do these people pay little attention to the students? Jessica Bliss - Student it sounds like a personal issue. Maybe you, like your pompous family and friends, should go somewhere else. And I enjoyed reading tfye writer’s article. It is good to find something happy to read about in the paper. Not all of us are preoccupied with the bad. So to the author of “Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito,” keep writing those fun stories; some us do enjoy them. And, if I ever read something I don’t like, I won’t read it again. Katie A. - Student class schedulers thinking when they did this? What about the professors; how come they aren’t making any noise about having to come in on Saturday? The professors may just send in a TA to give us the final and be relax­ ing at home, or maybe they are just unaware of this as I found many students to be. Noah Smith - Student To The Editors: I have a possible solution to the recent debate over cig­ arette smoke. Place Breath-alizers, similar to the ones used to detect alcohol, in front of classrooms to check people’s nicotine level. Cigarette packs could include specially treated little straws that people could use to blow into the tester. The results would appear on a scale of 1 to 3: one cough - proceed to class, two coughs - retest, and at non-stop coughing - he or she would have to proceed to a referee station consisting of a cage of pigeons. If the offend­ ing party cannot recite his or her A, B, C’s without making the little guys gag, he or she would be in violation. In keep­ ing with the school’s writing requirement, I suggest having them write an essay titled, “Smoke, Choke, and Croak” or something to that effect.

He then spent a good part of his lecture ruminating about the state of the nation and the Middle East after September 11. “What’s developing now is the president deciding that he’s got to do some­ thing to work with the Saudis and get them to moderate Arafat, as he would moderate Sharon.

The “Best Program of the Year” designation was given for the 9th Annual CSUSM Pow Wow, sponsored by AISA and the “Most Outstanding Student Orga­ nization 2002” was presented to the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. Sharon is being made out to look like a monster,” Safire said, “but he’s trying to make a deal. Most Americans say, well, if someone attacks you, you attack back. The same goes for Israel. The general feeling is that the Palestinians are under attack by Israel, but that’s only what we see here.” An audience member asked Safire if the public’will support placing troops without a “real” declaration of war. Safire said, “[Declarations of war] are appar­ TWIN V m i m Ik ently out. There hasn’t been one since World War II. I ’m with you - we should ask for a declaration of war before going into Iraq to do what we did in Germany and Japan - to introduce democracy to Iraq. Who knows what might happen?” In addition to discussing the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Safire openly acknowledged the need to attend to domestic policy as well. “Who knew his [Bush’s] presidency would be a foreign-policy presidency?” he said. “We have a president who came in relatively uninformed about foreign policy. [Bush] is a president who’s becoming inun­ dated with info from his capital. The best thing is that he has not resented that he is being coun­ seled by people smarter than he is.” William Safire’s column appears regularly in the op/ed pages of the New York Times. ■ Guaranteed Auto Service ProfessionaiTechnicians Tune-up & Brakes Full Service Car Care!

Although a 1.5 percent gen­ eral salary increase was agreed upon, the CSEA representatives still have about two months left in the contract cycle for more negotiations. The agree­ ment still needs to be ratified by the CSEA and approved by the CSU Board of Trustees. “For the first time I can remember, they (CSEA) have a tentative agreement two months before the former contract expires,” said Steve Wiener, media production specialist and CSEA chapter vice president. In the past, negotiations have lasted up to nine months past the renewal date. “I’m suspi­ cious that our (CSEA) bargain­ ing team gave up early,” said Wiener. The contract renewal comes at a time that is also host to many California state budget issues and a slow economy. Although Wiener mentioned satisfaction with some of the stipulations of the contract, he » >Article cont. on pg. 3 Power Surge Says Goodbye The Annaul Job Fair Photo Courtesy of Cindy Pollack By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor The Cal State San Marcos Career and Assessment Center (CAC) produced the university’s third annual job fair on Tuesday, April 23, with over 100 recruiters, employers, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. The turnout of the general public was nearly double than that of previous years, and CSUSM received phenomenal exposure from the surrounding commu­ nity with this year’s success. The job fair was geared toward the majors offered at CSUSM, and many government agencies answered the call. San Diego’s largest employer is the federal government, with Naval Base San Diego and Naval Sub­ marine Base Point Loma, as well as Marine Corps Air Sta­ tion Miramar and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton all less than an hour’s drive from the CSUSM campus.

That all changed on Friday, April 28 at 5 p.m. when owner Mark DuBois closed the doors forever after losing his parking lot permit from the city. “This is an overwhelming thing. I have realized how many lives we’ve affected — we’ve watched so many kids literally grow up here,” said DuBois.

When I teach, I try to get students to under­ stand the ways in which we gain knowledge in our field, which means appreciating the scien­ tific method, the products of that method and the real-world appli­ cations of that method.” “I am lucky that my research program is one that allows me to introduce students to oppor­ tunities that are unusual and inter>»Article cont. on pg. 2 By MICHELLE CONSTANT Pride Staff Writer For those of us who have experienced the teaching style of novelist and professor of Litera­ ture and Writing, Duff Brenna, the fact that he was the one of the recent recipients of CSUSM’s President’s Award may not come as a surprise. “It’s good to have the sort of ‘at home’ validation that the President’s Award gives a writer,” said Brenna. “The ulti­ mate sense I get from the recog­ nition I’ve received for what the [President’s] award calls my ‘cre­ ative activity’ is both a humble pride . . . and a feeling of justifi­ cation,” Brenna said. Teaching at CSUSM since its doors opened, Brenna has inspired students not only with his passion for literature, but with his life story. “I was addicted to books from the time I was a babbling child, playing ‘books’ by pulling them from my mother’s shelves and piling them up around me and pretend­ ing I could read them,” he said. »>Article cont. on pg. 2 Professor DuffBrenna Photo Courtesy o f “Tracks” �The Boycott Is Coming!" By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer Although Ambercrombie & Fitch’s Asian-themed T-shirts may have been removed from all of its 311 stores in 50 states after Asian-American groups nation­ wide complained that that the shirts were offensive and racist, the boycott is still coming. “I feel a boycott is necessary, not just by Asian-Americans, but by all minorities, because Cali­ fornia is a state of minorities and a reflection of the demographic future of America,” said Yale Kim, HTM business major at Cal State San Marcos. “Such acts of ignorance and racism must not go unchecked because the future of our diverse country depends on an understanding and respect for all backgrounds.” Mary Baladez, a Literature and Writing major, felt the same way. “The images on the shirts are offensive because they con­ tinue to relive the prejudices between people’s races, and people should not judge people based by association to certain images.” The controversy began when clothing maker Ambercrombie & Fitch released a new line of Asian-themed T-shirts, priced at $25, displaying cartoons of Asians in pointed hats along with slogans like, “Wong Broth­ ers Laundry Service: Two Wongs Can Make It White,” “Pizza Dojo: Eat In Or Wok Out,” and “Wok-N-Bowl: Chinese Food and Bowling” for the sole purpose of adding humor and levity to its fashion line. Not that many people were laughing. “Regarding the now famous image and caption, “Two Wongs Can Make It White,” people should understand that the laun­ dry business has historically been one of the entrepreneurial enter­ prises to which Chinese were drawn because of its low over­ head and need for minimum Eng­ lish language skills,” said Susie Lan Cassel, associate professor and associate chair of the Litera­ ture and Writing Department and coordinator for the Ethnic Stud­ ies Program at CSUSM. “When A&F makes fun of Chinese working laundries, they call to our attention a history of legal discrimination against Chinese, which, in addition, carries a pejo­ rative stereotype of Chinese as immigrant laborers.” Within the past week, numer­ ous complaints have been sent to the company, hundreds of protestors stood outside A&F storefronts in various cities, and Asian-American communities as well as student organizations from colleges throughout the United States have banded together to form a coalition to boycott A&F. The schools participating in and facilitating this student movement include Stanford, Northwestern, Wellesley, Roch­ ester, Duke, Harvard, Tufts, Amherst, Boston College, Bent­ ley University, Northeastern, Massachusetts Institute of Tech­ nology, Brown, Ohio State, Columbia, Indiana University, University of Maryland, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine, Cal State San Marcos, and more. “We, the Asian Pacific Stu­ dent Society at CSUSM, feel entirely disappointed and offended in A&F’s disregard for the Asian and Pacific Islander American culture and commu­ nity. The shirt clearly is an insult oil the history of our culture and past times,” said James Nguyen, president of the Asian Pacific Stu­ dent Society at CSUSM. “Even though the damage has been done, the situation can be some­ what fixed as best as possible, given the guidelines and demands are met to A&F’s best abilities. We fully support the efforts of the boycott of A&F and feel that an apology is most needed.” The demands for this national boycott campaign, which have been consolidated by student organizations from Stanford, Boston, Columbia, and North­ western, which represent stu­ dents nationally, state that A&F must: 1) Permanently remove the entire line of offensive “Asian” T-shirts. 2) Publish a public apol­ ogy from CEO Michael S. Jef­ fries in the form of a one-page advertisement in all major news­ papers. 3) Post this apology in all A&F stores, the main page of the website, and in the next issue of the quarterly catalogue. 4) Restore public image and mend relationship in the Asian Pacific American community and con­ sumers through increasing phi­ lanthropy and investment in the Asian Pacific American commu­ nity. In addition, we request that A&F work with us to create and hire a new Asian Pacific American consultant team to ensure sensitivity to minority issues. 5) Develop an educa­ tional and advertisement cam­ paign with positive images of Asian Pacific Americans and other people of color. This cam­ paign should promote the diver­ sity of our nation and encourage understanding of diverse cul­ tures and histories. 6) Encourage consumers to return the “Asian” T-shirts and guarantee uncon­ ditional refund with incentives such as vouchers or discounts on future purchases. 7) Implement and improve diversity training for all employees and diversify minority representation in its workforce. Despite the verbal apologies made by A&F spokesman Hamp­ ton Carney, and the removal of the “Asian” themed T-shirt line, Asian-American activists,1 stu­ dents, and professionals say the company must do more to pre­ vent situations like this from ever happening again. “The fact that those designs, not just one but a set of stereotyped and derogatory images of Chinese, could make it through countless design meet­ ings, numerous executive dis­ cussions, and innumerable staff members (many of them proba­ bly Asian) calls to our attention the need for continued education in the field of Asian American and Ethnic Studies” said Cassel. “As far as I’m concerned, this is not humor; it’s the tragedy of missed (or ignored) education.” Psychology Professor Receives P resident’s Award »>Article cont. from pg. 1 From dairy farming to dish­ washing to rug cleaning, Brenna worked his way through school. After a difficult adolescence, Brenna began his higher educa­ tion by taking classes at night and working during the day. No matter how busy he was, he always made room for lit­ erature. “I’ve never been with­ out books, never gone a month since my adolescent years with­ out reading at least one novel, and never considered for a moment living a life without my beloved authors lined up shoulder to shoulder on my shelves.” Speaking as a published author and lecturer, Brenna said that he is grateful to be teaching at CSUSM. “What I found when I came here is that I was trusted to know and do my job. LTWR is lucky in that it has had a series of first-rate directors, none better than Dr. Yuan, who is infinitely supportive and encouraging.” Brenna said that his secret to teaching involves both knowing and loving the subject he teaches. “I’ve been lucky over the years in having, on the whole, students who were exciting to learn and really wanted to talk about writ­ ing and literature,” said Brenna. When asked about teaching at CSUSM versus another school, Brenna said, “I don’t think there is any other college in the state system that has more superior teachers on its faculty (who were hired first of all because they were superior teachers) or can match the education a student will get here. And the thing of it is, and I mean this sincerely, we’re getting better and better every year.” Receiving teaching awards isn’t anything new to Brenna, who received the Outstanding Faulty Member award at SDSU in 1988, 1989, arid 1990 and was nominated for CSUSM’s Presi­ dent’s Award in 1995. Brenna has also received the New York Times9Notable Book Award in 1999 and the Associated Writing Program Award for Best Novel in 1990. GSUSM Holds Preview Day for Prospective Students By: SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer On Saturday, Cal State San Marcos held an event that wel­ comed prospective transfer stu­ dents and high school seniors. The students were given a pre­ view of programs that CSUSM has to offer. Several campus clubs and organizations were present, recruiting as well as fundraising. The admissions staff, Stu­ dent Residential Life, Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fra­ ternity all attended the event. Peer Educators and Support (PEAS), sold baked goods and Snapple at their table, the Pan African Student Alliance (PASA) brought out the grill and sold homemade monster tacos, the Asian Pacific Student Society sold Jamba Juice and the Latin World USA sold strawberry shortcakes. Although the above men­ tioned groups seized the oppor­ tunity to sustain their groups by fundraising, there were other groups that focused primarily on recruitment and getting their names known. The College Republicans, ASI Men’s Lacrosse team, the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), the Faculty Mentorship Program, ASPIRE, EOP, SASOP, and Priority Christian Challenge, also attended the event. Over 150 people attended, many of whom participated in a series of workshops that pro­ vided information on financial aid, admission requirements, and the soon-to-come student hous­ ing project.

Some encounters were less than pleas­ ant” said students Kelley Sim­ mons & Elizabeth philo. The event was entirely selfsupported and nearly $7000 was spent on production. Sandra Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center, said, “Part­ nerships were key to maintain­ ing affordability and keeping the charge to employers lower than many other campus job fairs.” Based on “early bird” rates for employers, third-party employ­ ment recruiters were charged a fee of $200, general employers were charged $100, and gov­ ernment agencies and non-profit organizations reserved booths for only $50. After the March 22 “early bird” deadline, prices were increased to $300, $150, and $75, respectively. The prices were increased due to the added expenditures of the CAC having to add employers during the last couple of weeks. Punch said that many of the employers who called only days before the event were unable to reserve a booth because the fair was already at full capacity. The North County Inland and North County Coastal Career Centers sponsored the breakfast for employers on Tuesday morn­ ing, The North County Times provided advertising for the event free of charge and Enterprise Rent-A-Car provided free use of two shuttle vans. The event nonetheless carried Photo Courtesy o f Cindy Pollack some substan­ tial expenses. The tables, u m b r e l la s , chairs, and tablecloths were all rented, extra microphones had to be provided for workshops, additional communica­ tion radios had to be 4 provided for security and events personnel, and box lunches for the employers were purchased from the Power Surge Cafe. Post­ cards before the event were an expense, and thank-you letters after the event have to be purchased and supplied with post­ age. The parking situ­ ation, consistently a touchy subject for CSUSM students, was aggravated On Tuesday by hundreds of addi­ tional vehicles. The employers were charged the university’s standard $3 fee for a one-day parking permit, and they were supposed to park in the satellite lot by the Photo Courtesy o f Cindy Pollack San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMAC) across the street. Parking for the event was free to the public, and Lot O was des­ ignated for public parking. Due to the huge attendance from the general public and apparent con­ fusion on behalf of the employ­ ers, Lot O quickly overflowed, overwhelming Parking Services with more vehicles than they had spaces. Punch said that parking on the dirt construction lots was not allowed because of insurance limitations. “Parking is a challenge on eivery single campus,” said Punch. “[Parking Services] does a won­ derful job with what they have to work with.” The California Center for the Arts (CAC) had been suggested as an alternative site, given the availability of both parking and facilities. The cost would have been the same for the job fair to have been held there, but Punch indicated that it was determined by the University and the CAC that CSUSM was a better loca­ tion. “People are realizing- that CSUSM is here,” said Punch. The admissions office had a table out­ side and was busy throughout most of the day with potential students. “The Job Fair was put together quite well this year, It was huge! I see many of the same employers at the various job fairs I have been to and most of them do interest me,” said Business student Sean Sunda.

This movie takes place in Central California, mainly in San Luis Obispo and Los Osos. The movie is about two high-schpol stu­ dents played by Ryan Gossling as Richard Haywood and Michael Pitt as Justin Pendleton. The two boys befriend one another after Haywood listens to a speech that Pendleton wrote about murder. The speech mainly delineates how easy it would be to commit a murder and not get caught. Pendleton thinks that this would be the ultimate act of freedom. While listening to this speech in class, the ultra-hip Haywood thinks it would be a good thing to confront Pendleton after school about his theories on murder. As Haywood has too much free time on his hands and comes from a very well-off family, he thinks that murdering someone will be ending. The movie also explores the ultimate act of enjoyment.

Simply Jeff Blends Various Genres of Electronic Music By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer The uniqueness of music is that it has the power to take you places you wouldn’t expect to go. Simply Jeffs latest CD release “Breakbeat Massive,” on Moon­ shine Music, reinforces this phe­ nomenon. As a prominent DJ and pro­ ducer of Breakbeat music, Simply Jeff takes you on a musical expedition through his blend of breaks while incorporating the many sub-genres of electronic music, which include: the various sounds of groovy, head-nodding bass lines; dirty, low fre­ quencies that flow with catchy vocal riffs and scratches; up-tempo, rhythmic drumbeats; aggressive build-ups and breakdowns; and an array of synthesizing effects and delays The unbelievable sounds that emanate from this collection can be explained, as one minute you’ll be in a danc­ ing frenzy, and the next minute you’ll be experi­ encing a mental journey. I get a definite “Don’t sleep” kind of feeling from this 18-track CD compilation. REVIEW By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer Somewhere between my first Jack and Coke and my second beer, The Strokes hit the stage at 4th and B last Tuesday night. Their second San Diego concert in months, nouveau garage rock darling band The Strokes were widely panned by audience members at the original March date because of singer Julian Casablancas’ failure to perform due to drunken foolishness. With the record label forcing the band to perform a make-up show and issuing free tickets to everyone who bought tickets to the first show, this time around they had something to prove. While this show was by far more coherent, it had the dis­ tinct feeling of detention. The band clearly wasn’t expecting to be back so soon and didn’t show the verve of a voluntary musical release. Running through such radio staples as “Barely Legal” and “Try My Luck,” as well as live performance favorites like “Meet Me in the Bathroom,” the crowd was nonetheless very receptive. Cheering, screaming, and even “floating” fellow audi­ ence members, San Diego was satisfied with the much-touted New York band. With its hit single “Last Night” off the major-label debut album “Is This It?” local rock fans have been inundated with the catchy (if derivative) brand of strategically polished unpol­ ished music. The Strokes have gained so much popularity in the past six months that radio sta­ tions such as 92.1 and 91X have been prompted to play the sin­ gles until even devoted listeners have felt that they are so great and fantastic that not only could they not live another day with­ out owning the album, but that they will probably stick a knit­ ting needle in their ear if they have to listen to it one more time. The highlight of my night, however, came not from the rau­ cous rendition of “Take it or Leave it,”, or from my three Sam Adams’ buzz, but when I actu­ ally hit guitarist Albert Ham­ mond Jr. with my car. It was fantastic. This is what rock n’ roll should be. Staring out the window of your car as a rock star yells obscenities at you while you are trying to make a slick getaway after your male friend has just flung a gigantic bra (bor­ rowed, of course) at the singer outside of the venue. I really feel like we bonded. I will never forget the look on that man’s face as he stood with both hands on the hood of my Jetta and yelled “Hey...%$%*&...” I can honestly say that that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The Strokes put on a good show (when Julian is relatively sober). I recommend seeing them the next time they come around, which, incidentally, is April 30 at the Remak arena with Tena­ cious D. However, and this is a big however, if you do go, I recom­ mend: 1. Drink heavily 2. Under­ stand that they are just a product, and 3. Take a huge, well-worn, grubby undergarment with you.

So, as I looked out on the where people come to drink. And drink they did.

It was 10 minutes into the show, and I had already heard three songs - three gems, really. There had been no excessive chatting between songs, no fussing or whining about technical prob­ lems, no Liam and Noel antics, no extended, free-form jazz odysseys to lull the natives to sleep - just superbly written songs performed soulfully and honestly. The rest of the night offered much of the same. In addition to songs from “Green Hills of Earth,” the band performed some of the new tunes Bluhm had men­ tioned earlier. While adhering to the brand of surprisingly sub­ stantial pop for which the Hips are known, new songs like “Deep Tim Bluhm Pride Photo/James Newell meaningful, artistic way. How then, does one try to convey intri­ cate musical sentiment to a bat­ talion-sized group of strangers who, for the most part, are hang­ overs waiting to happen? What can a band possibly expect from such a mob? Earlier, when asked what he looks for in an audience, guitar­ and the sort of Velcro-bound sneakers that might have war­ ranted a beating in third grade. Despite appearances, however, once the set started it was clear that these guys had an agenda. They began by firing off three songs in quick succession, starting with the falsetto pop of “Channel Island Girl,” a short, Space Team,” “Superscout” and “Feel the Rumble” were more contemplative and mid-tempo, nicely complimenting more rau­ cous covers like Neil Young’s “Red Tandy” and The Everly Brothers’ “On My Way Home Again.” Earlier, when asked about the their continued placement and Tim Bluhm P ride Photo/James Newell comparison with so-called “jam bands,” Bluhm said, “We don’t ever jam.” The Hips instead focus on well-choreographed songs built on deeply structured vocal harmonies, tight changes, and influences built through virtu­ ous songwriting from multiple personalities and a friendship that has lasted and grown from over 10 years of constant tour­ ing. As for the rest of the nomadic tribe of musicians, who say touring is made up of a lot more driving than playing music, about five years ago John Hofer took over on the drums and has been keeping the band in time since. In addition to his tight, clean drum playing, Hofer usually writes the set list, which keeps the Hips rolling through the extensive sets they play. And after recently losing long-time bassist Isaac Parsons, the Hips have been joined by long-time friend and producer of some of the Hips early record­ ings, Paul Hoaglin, who, as Bluhm said, “is. a freak and actually knows more Hips songs than we do.” “Right now we are playing from almost two albums of new material,” said Bluhm, which is a tribute to their creative prowess as they released “Green Hills of Earth” early in 2001. The Mother Hips play about 200 or more shows a year. Although they focus their energy mainly on the West Coast, they tour all across the nation and have recently added Chicago, India­ napolis, and Oklahoma to their arduous list of stops. When asked about the extreme diversity found on “Green Hills of Earth,” specif­ ically “Take Us Out,” which is a mellow, high-pitched harmoni­ ous song not unlike something Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys would be happy to sing and “Rich Little Girl,” a faster-paced song that could fall into many a cat­ egory of Rock and Roll, Bluhm commented with a slight grin that “not only were the songs written 10 years apart, but they were written by different people (Loi­ acono wrote “Take Us Out” and Bluhm wrote “Rich Little Girl.)” By the time the Hips walked off the stage, we had heard 25 songs in what seemed like 15 minutes. Don’t let me give you the impression that the Hips played a Ramones-style, 90-second song, rapid-fire sort of set, though. They played for about two hours. It seems that they’ve become so adept at constructing songs, and then arranging those songs into a set for maximum effect, that time doesn’t behave quite normally. Neither, for that matter, does the audience, for sure enough, Bluhm was right. When I look over the crowd towards the end of the set, they are there. Between the boy/girl squabbles, the awkward male bonding and impromptu belly dancing, the people whom Bluhm described are there, agape and intent, chant­ ing “Mother Hips” and crying for more even as the time neared the 2:00 a.m. witching hour. Some­ where along the line, they have gone from soused to serene - and wouldn’t have it any other way. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez of TLC Dies in Car Crash By SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer While on vacation in Hondu­ ras, a place she often frequented because of its serenity, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez (of the hip-hop trio TLC) was killed in a car acci­ dent while driving with seven others on Thursday. The death of Lopez was recently confirmed by public relations personnel at Arista Records. Lopez, was driv­ ing the vehicle and was the only fatality; none of the passengers were harmed. “No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss,” said Antonio “L.A.” Reid, president and CEO of Arista Records. “Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspi­ ration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa’s family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered for­ ever.” “We had all grown up together and were as close as a family. Today we have truly lost our sister,” said her fellow band members, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas, in a statement for the press. Lopez will be remembered as a diva who often feuded pub­ licly and gained national atten­ tion for burning a house down in a subdivision in Alpharetta, Georgia, called Country Club of the South. Despite various challenges, the group maintained its staying power. Before her untimely death, Left Eye released a solo project last year called “SuperNova” and signed as a solo artist to Tha Row Records. Lopez was engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend, Andre Rison, in June, and TLC had been working on an album that was to be released this fall. Funeral arrangements in Left Eye’s hometown of Atlanta are still pending. However, there are no reports about whether or not her funeral will be public. *CNN.com and Hondurasnews.tv were used as sources for this article. �A D iet W orth of Your T im e By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer If followed correctly, this choice of lifestyle will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being you never thought possible. After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least ten pounds, possibly seven­ teen pounds, and have an abun­ dance of energy. This seven-day plan can be used as often as you like. Continue this plan for as long as you wish and feel the difference in both medical and physical disposition. Day One Your first day’s meals will consist of all the fruits you want to eat, except for bananas. For all you melon lovers, this is the day for you. Two fruits identi­ fied as containing fewer calories than most others are watermelon and cantaloupe. Should you choose the melon, your chances of losing three pounds in the first day will increase. As an added bonus, you can have all of the soup you want. Day Two Eat vegetables until you are stuffed with all of the cooked and/or fresh vegetables of your choice. Try to eat green, leafy vegetables and stay away from dried beans, peas and com. These vegetables are good for you but not if you are trying to reduce your caloric intake. You may also have a large baked potato topped with a stan­ dard portion (one tablespoon) of butter. Once again, you may have all of the soup you want. tent; however, you cannot have potatoes. Final Day Brown rice, fruit juice and vegetables are the choice to final­ ize this quick program. Eat as much as you want of these. It should be noted that the fruit juice should be unsweetened. On each day, you may drink all the beverages you wish such as coffee, black tea (unsweet­ ened), and diet soft drinks. Diet Food Ingredients: Vegetable soup 1-2 Medium onions 1 large celery stalk 2 packages dry onion soup mix 1 head of cabbage, shredded carrots, diced frozen string beans* 2 cans of whole tomatoes 2 Green peppers* *optional ** Can also add other vege­ table such as okra, red peppers, yellow peppers, red cabbage, and red onion. Use fresh basil, oreg­ ano, garlic and cilantro to add flavor. How to make the soup: Mix the dry onion soup with water (the box will include exact measurements) into the big pot. Toss the vegetables into the big pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until all the vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten any time you feel hungry. Eat as often as you like. This soup will not add calories, so the more you eat, the more you lose. Low-Calorie salad dressing (1 quart) 1 pint of imitation sour cream Day Three Meals are the same as day 1 pint of low-fat cottage cheese one and two, except that you 2 packages of dry salad dressing cannot have a baked potato. Of mix. course, you may still have all of the soup you can stand. Day Four Mmmmmmm, bananas. You can eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many as eight glasses of skim milk on this day. Bananas are high in carbohydrates and will lessen your cravings for sweets. Yes, you can still eat the soup. Day Five You can have 10-12 ounces of beef and six tomatoes on this day.

The press release claimed this event to be “.. .the largest job and resource fair in North County.” If you base this claim on one fact: the number of cars in our parking lots, then perhaps the news release is cor­ rect. The perfect slogan would have been ‘...the largest, most disorganized job and resource fair that we can possibly hold in the smallest space available in North County.’ It is no surprise that parking was a problem, we are all aware that parking will continue to be a problem until a formal parking structure is built or some other solution is proposed. The bigger issue at hand is the over-all plan­ ning of the Job Fair. Why is CSUSM hosting an event that is “free and open to the public” and includes “more than 100 employment representa­ tives and company recruiters” in our tiny Founders Plaza? It was so crowded that people were con­ stantly bumping into one another and on-campus clubs were forced to move down the staircase to the Dome Terrace. Maybe CSUSM should consider holding the job fair at the California Center for the Arts, as was the case for the Teacher Career Fair held earlier this semester. Or how about the Del Mar Fairgrounds? Which leads us into our next point. If CSUSM can comfort­ ably and safely host “more than one hundred representatives,” supply them with tables, chairs, and umbrellas and invite all stu­ dents and community members to attend (as announced in local newspapers), then a series of smaller Graduation Ceremonies could easily held on campus. The message is clear, if the Univer­ sity finds an event to be profitable, the University can make the space. Their goal was to make money. Each employment agency paid $150.00 to participate in this job fair (non-profit agencies were charged $75.00). Certainly, in planning this event one objec­ tive had to be fundraising. The Career and Assessment Center needed to cover the cost of tables, chairs and brown bag lunches. Yet, there are many, many small business and non-profit agencies that are unable to pay such prices. The students are not the focus. If they were the focus, CSUSM would not have charged such an outra­ geous amount of money. The goal should have been to present the students with the greatest number of employment representatives. Fundraising should be secondary. After looking into other North County job fairs, we sug­ gest that CSUSM follow Mira Costa’s lead. They may not host the “largest job and resource fair in North County,” but they are Editorial clearly pro-student. They ask all employers participating in their Career Expo to “make a sug­ gested donation of $50.00 towards the First Impressions Clothing Fund. First Impressions Boutique provides gently used career wear at no cost to students in need of career wear for employment.” Of course, the donation is tax-deductible. They will also be holding “student raffle drawings...[and employers] will be provided with a continental breakfast and boxed lunch at no cost.” We support the Mira Costa Career Expo, which will be held at their Oceanside Campus on May 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (One Barnard Drive, Oceans­ ide). German Instructor (and students) DISSED By ERIK ROPER for The Pride Author’s Disclaimer: I am the sole creator and instigator of the following words. The following is an excerpt of a conversation I heard in my German class a couple days after the Summer/Fall CSUSM course schedule came out: “Hey Frau Ronke, [German course instruc­ tor Astrid Ronke] who’s this Hughes person who’s listed in the CSUSM Fall schedule as being the one and only person teach­ ing German next year?” a stu­ dent asked Ronke. “What are you talking about? I haven’t been told I’m being replaced,” she replied with a mixed expression of equal parts worry, shock, and confu­ sion. The student did a double take, paused a moment (probably to assimilate the unanticipated response Ronke had just given), and then shakily continued, “Um . . . yeah well it says right here in the new class schedule that just came out that some person named Hughes is listed as teach­ ing German next Fall . . . and by the way . . . um, whatever happened to German becoming a minor?” Ronke didn’t reply right away, but sat there with a look of utter shock and defeat on her nor­ mally indefatigable face. Finally, she just shook her head, and, sounding much like an air mat­ tress slowly deflating, her expres­ sion instantly plummeted, and she resolutely expressed her frus­ tration by saying, “If this is what it says . . . well, I don’t know . . . this is news to me.” This conversation took place before class actually started, during that unfocused nether time when you’re just settling into your niche, taking your notebook out, etc. During this time, I usu­ ally just kind of like to daydream and put the finishing touches on whatever homework I’d procrasti­ nated doing the night before. But that conversation got my atten­ tion. Why? I’m so glad you asked. Ronke established the German program as part of the World Languages department here at CSUSM approximately five years ago out of nothing, against all the odds and with little or no support in the beginning. She is an instructor who is (and has been) dedicated, passionate, and who constantly sacrifices her own free time and energy for her students. She is an instructor who is highly respected and appreci­ ated by both her peers and her students. In 2000, she was nom­ inated for the Brakebill Distin­ guished Professor of the Year Award. She is an instructor who should be lauded with accolades and awards aplenty. Yet, she is not. Instead, she has been DISSED so effectively (I use DISSED instead of disrespected intentionally because I feel the latter word is too polite and doesn’t adequately convey the true level of, for lack of a better word, disrespect involved) that \\ Cal State San Marcos Logos Courtesy o f Joselyn Brown By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer Is it just me, or does the new school logos (the Cougar) for Cal State San Marcos look like the logo from the cartoon she didn’t even find out she had been DISSED until weeks after the fact. The situation was not brought to her by her supervisor or anyone else she works with, but by her own students! How would you feel if you’d been working yourself to the bone for five years trying to do your very best at a job where you rarely received optimal support and they decide to “not rehire you” (read: FIRE YOU), and they don’t even let you know about it? How would you feel? Would you feel HUMILI­ ATED? Because the depth of how badly you’d been DISSED had been laid bare right there in front of your student!? Would you feel BETRAYED? By a hierarchy of leadership here at CSUSM that would tolerate such disrespectful and unprofessional conduct on the part of its language depart­ ment’s supervisor(s)? (I’m not sure how many were involved in this egregious oversight.) Would you feel DEFEATED? Knowing that ultimately, the reason you were getting canned was due', not to lack of merit or competence, but more than anything due to the fact that the World Languages department of CSUSM values a piece of paper (a Ph.D) over your ability to teach and inspire your students? (Ronke only has a Master’s). Would you feel WOR­ RIED? That word of how badly you’d been DISSED by the powers that be might cause people to doubt your reputation, your com­ petence, and/or your character? That's show “The Thundercats?” I feel like saying, “Thundercats Hooooooo...” every time I look at it. , Considering that our school has a visual arts program with very talented freehand and graphic artists, I wonder why the university decided to change this logo without even considering input or requesting submissions from students that go to CSUSM on how the new logo should look. And if they did, why didn’t we know about it? It is as if the administrators are dictating the way CSUSM stu­ dents correlate themselves with Or, maybe you’d feel WORRIED about the fact that you’d have to land a new job ASAP to sup­ port your family, and that you’d already lost multiple weeks that you could have used to conduct that search. Would you feel SAD? Not just about losing your job but about how people could be so MEAN, INCONSIDERATE, and HURTFUL. How would you feel? Please don’t misunderstand me; I’m not just spouting off like some anti-establishment yahoo. It’s just that, in the 10 or so years of my life where I’ve maintained some kind of job, I’ve learned that there are certain unwritten rules of conduct in the social contract that we’re all subject to, which must be adhered to when dealing with people. Being civil, courteous, and professional are critical ingredients needed to treat people with the respect they deserve. In this case, Ronke has not been treated with the respect she deserves. She has been DISSED in a most discour­ teous, egregious and unprofes­ sional manner. Personally, I feel highly disappointed and angry with whoever was responsible for this faux pas. I can say with certainty that there are a signif­ icant number of my classmates (and not just those in my German class) who feel the same way. I can only wonder how terribly our beloved instructor “Frau” Ronke must be feeling.. . . All I’m saying is this: Ronke got savagely DISSED and that Our the identity of the school. It is as if they are saying, “Ok here’s our logo . . . if you don’t like it, you have to live with it.” I feel that there could have been various ways of selecting the proper logo for our school. One idea could have been to create some type of contest, in which CSUSM students could participate and exercise the skills that we are paying for in contribu­ tion to the shaping of our campus identity. This would not only give students first-hand experi­ ence that they can notate on their resumes, but it could bring some sort of student life to our campus. was utterly WRONG. I feel that whoever was responsible for this situation should be (if they weren’t already) highly ashamed of themselves, should have a hard time looking themselves in the mirror, and should APOLOGIZE to Ronke IMMEDIATELY - via email, a real face-to-face talk, and a formal letter of apology to the editors of The Pride. I f Ronke must go, then at the very least, those responsible for this situ­ ation should allow her to leave CSUSM with her dignity and stellar reputation intact. The reason I think this should happen is because not only was Ronke DISSED, but her students, and actually, all the students of CSUSM, were DISSED. The money students are charged to attend this institution surely plays at least some small part in paying the paycheck of the person(s) responsible for this situation. Therefore, those responsible owe an explanation to the students of CSUSM. Furthermore, the administration of CSUSM, while only indirectly responsible for the indiscrete handling of this situa­ tion (because whoever’s in charge allowed it to happen on their “watch”) also, I would think, owe the student body some sort of explanation as to how this sort of disrespect could’ve been allowed to happen. I could go on and on, but I’m sure everyone gets my point by now. If you don’t or disagree, feel free to contact me at roper004@csusm.edu. Logo? One of the biggest complaints by students about our school is that there is nothing to do here. Well, if the university is trying to think of ideas, I think this could be one of them. Furthermore, the university’s failure to involve students in the decision-making process appears to be a precedent. How do you think these processes will shape the future characteristics of Cal State San Marcos? Next thing you know, our school colors will be hot pink and electric blue. Be realistic. There are approximately 6,600 students at our school. This is one-tenth the FF amount of the population com­ pared to other universities. Is it that hard to think of ways to get students involved on campus? As far as I’m concerned, one little drawing contest could make a real big difference for students with “nothing to do.” Cal State San Marcos �S eptember 11 Revisited By MIKE PARDINI Pride Staff Writer Just last week, the FBI released the horrific last moments of Flight 93. To refresh your memory, this was the flight en route to San Francisco from Newark. There has been much criticism lately whether to play the cockpit voice recordings or not. I take a firm stance that they should not be played for many reasons. The first being that if we were related to any of the 33 victims from the crash, we would have had our chance to go to that N.J. hotel and listen to those last moments with our loved ones. Since almost all of us don’t know any of the victims affected by this tragedy directly, why should we pry our noses where they don’t belong? Why should America the King of sen­ sationalism blow this up all over the news again? Americans are strong right now and will continue to be strong in the future. What would be the point to look back yet again? It should always be in our minds What happened on Sep­ tember 11 when America stood up for freedom. But we shouldn’t sensationalize it merely for rat­ ings or new gossip. How would you like to be part of a victim’s family and turn on the TV that night and .here your husband, dad, wife, or mom begging for their life for the world to hear? That is just simply not fair to bring the fami­ lies of the victims back into the spotlight yet again. America as a whole has suffered enough over September 11, and the last thing we need is for the media to get this recording just so they can raise their ratings. It's Just a Matter of Perspective...

Specifically in question are T-shirts depict­ ing Asian stereotypes. One such shirt reads, “Wong Broth­ ers Laundry Service: Two Wongs Can Make it White.” It includes a Caricature of two slant-eyed, con­ ical hat-wearing Chinese men. My initial reaction to these items was surprise. I like to think that my finger is on the pulse of the fashion world by making a point to read Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ) at the dentist’s office. But this new fad caught me off­ guard. I felt foolish for being slightly offended by the designs, especially so when a CNN poll reported that nearly 70 percent of respondents thought me T-shirts were not racially insensitive. So, who am I to argue with fashion? These days fashioii is all about irony. Kitschy a n d ‘retro’ are all the rage in style. It’s all about 80’s music, 50’s diners, Jason Shenmon, Senior Business Major: HTM “I felt that there was not enough diver­ sity of employers.” Shabby 70’s clothing and, apparently* 20’s bigotry. So, before you throw away the lava lamps, the Pat Benatar records or the out­ dated racial stereotypes, take a walk through the mall. You’ll be glad to know they’ve all made a comeback. Don’t worry, though; the A&F T-shirts aren’t racist per se, merely ironic - just a little irreverent, tongue-in-cheek jab­ bing, all in the name of fashion. If such a high percentage of people don’t have a problem with the Asian T-shirts, maybe we can look forward to possible future designs, like, “Uncle Tom’s Cabinwear: Be A Slave To Fashion.” Or maybe “Spic and Span House­ keepers: Mi Casa Es Clean Casa.” Better yet, why doesn’t A&F just sell John Rocker baseball jer­ seys? After all, it’s only satire, right? A&F representatives have said that the line of T-shirts was actually targeted to Asian con­ sumers. I’m interested to see how other ethnic markets are pur­ sued. African-American shop­ pers should be on the lookout for boxer-brfefs emblazoned with the confederate flag. The last thing I want is to be Chic seen as an angry, overly sensitive protester. That is so uncool. And uncool is unfashionable. Why else would Louis Farrakhan wear bowties? And on Thursday, it was these un-enlightened fash­ ion victims who eventually pres­ sured A&F to take the T-shirts off the shelves. But not before sales of the product rose substan­ tially. A few of the items made it onto eBay, where the top bid reached $130. Maybe The Gap or Banana Republic can pick up where A&F left off, continu­ ing to make racial stereotypes acceptable and even desirable. All of us who didn’t make it down to the mall in time to buy one of the T-shirts will just have to remain a half step behind those trendsetters who did. But hey, fashion is fickle; maybe tomor­ row racial harmony will be in vogue. But if style is ironic, I guess that would make^it racist. Whatever the case, I’m sure that Abercrombie & Fitch will con­ tinue to keep my wardrobe on the cutting edge of fashion and ignorance. Abercrombie stock was up on Thursday. Ahh, irony. �10 Tuesday, O pilU O Il April 30, 2002 The Pride A Followriip to “Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9 11 ” /? By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer I’d like to take an opportu­ nity to clear up a few things about “Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9/11?” (April 16), which has generated a heated response both in The Pride and with some students who have taken issue with me in person. The intention of my article was not to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but rather to use it to point out what I see as a glar­ ing contradiction in how Mus­ lim-Americans have reacted to suicide bombings in the Middle East versus last September’s ter­ rorism in the United States. The aim was not to perpetuate a perceived ‘bias’ in the media against the Palestinians by avoid­ ing injustices against them at the hands of Israelis. I did not explore such acts, as they had no bear­ ing on the point I was making. Had Jews crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center and Pen­ tagon in the name of Judaism and in retaliation for US foreign poli­ cies, then the angle of the article would have been reversed. Whether or not many Mus­ lim-Americans ‘paid lip service to 9/11’ is not something that I or anyone else can answer com­ pletely. The focus was meant to be on the validity of the ques­ tion itself. And based on every­ thing I’ve seen and heard these past months, it is a legitimate and well-founded inquiry. Just last Monday, Middle East Newswire, a popular news source within the Muslim-American community, ran yet another article justifying terrorism (“In Defense of Suicide Bombers”) in which the author parallels suicide bombers with defenders of the Alamo and World War II D-Day soldiers. This isn’t coming from extremist, underground journal­ ists, just one’of many mainstream articles supporting this, philoso­ phy. Have there been any letters from angry Muslims condemn­ ing such a stance? No." I wish I could say this was an isolated incident, but unfortunately the more I search, the more I realize just how many people in this country either share these views or are utterly indifferent to them. I do not have any problems with Islam. The Koran actually has much in common with my own religious beliefs. My prob­ lem lies in the passiveness within the Muslim-American commu­ nity. If Muslims in this country truly regarded all terrorism as evil and immoral, why do so few strongly §peak out against those, within their faith, who con­ tinue to push such an agenda? They speak out to the non-Mus­ lim public but not to each other. Why do anti-Semiti^ Zionist books and leaflets sit unchal­ lenged on the shelves of mosques and Islamic bookstores? Many Muslims remain silent while an extremist minority continues to grow. Steven Emerson, terrorism expert and author of the book “American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us,” spent years chronicling the thousands of ter­ rorists living in the United States today. Terrorist cells and mil­ itant groups with connections to mosques all around the coun­ try are, apparently, not a big secret within the Muslim-Ameri­ can populace. As these extrem­ ists pervert the words of the Koran, why aren’t the majority of peace-loving Muslims-vocal in keeping these groups from recruiting and fundraising within their place of worship? If there are many who don’t care enough to take a stand against these people, are we to believe they’d ever shed a tear over terrorist action that may eventually take place because of it? Just as those who are critical erf the Catholic Church’s current problems are not necessarily antiCatholic, I am not anti-Muslim for taking issue with some of those in our Islamic population. I am close friends with a great many Muslims from around the world - a statement which is of course a cljche when defend­ ing oneself against accusations of prejudice. But I mention this only to make clear that I’m not merely reaching conclusions without an active dialogue with those within the religion. Frankly, it was these conversations that initially pushed me to question public views I found in stark contrast to what was being said in private. In his letter to the editors last week, Civan Erman Gokcimen accused me of using my article* to “brainwash a few thousand college students” - an idea that is both misguided and insulting to the free-thinking people that embody this university. It was also inaccurately pointed out that Yasser Arafat is a Christian. For the record, he is Muslim, his wife is Christian. However, using Arafat’s religion, or his wife’s, as a basis for saying that it is “a very uneducated assumption to think of this dilemma [in the Middle East] as a conflict between Juda­ ism and Islam” is naive, though not completely incorrect. More accurately, it could also be seen as a conflict between Israel and those who wish Israel to be erased from the map. The same anti-Semitism that could be stirred by the passage from an “interview with a commander in the Israeli army,” which Mr. Gokcimen ‘presumes’ to be the words of Ariel Sharon. Mr. Gokcimen denounces “playing a cheap blame game,” then contin­ ues with an extensive rant that does just that. If you are truly “sick and tired of hearing the same crap over and over about who is to blame” then why not refrain from producing more? I also want to clarify my “pointing the finger at a particu­ lar ethnic group” as Carol Stern stated in her letter. First of all, Islam is a religion, not an ethnic­ ity; Muslims are not confined to a particular ethnic group. Other­ wise, yes, I am pointing a finger in some regards, but not at the religion, xather at some of the participants. And the idea that we should “forget who is at fault” only puts us at a higher risk of letting history repeat itself. Within a week or so of 9/11, I noticed a great many Muslims with American flags attached to their cars. J had passed this obser­ vation on to a Muslim, expressing how great I thought it was that they show their support. He then told me of how it was common knowledge within his mosque, one of the largest in San Diego, that Muslims display flags - not primarily out of support but for safety reasons. The idea that an American flag may dissuade someone from performing a hate crime, in light of some idiotic assaults against Muslims, I cannot necessarily disagree with such a plan. I men­ tion this story not to make a case for Muslims being unpatriotic, but to illustrate that you can’t always take everything at face value - otherwise, America owes the Taliban an apology, for they too condemned 9/11.

To the editors: After reading the April 16 issue of The Pride, I had to wonder why I bother defending the intellect of the students in the CSU system to my friends and family who have attended more prestigious universities. I have only read our school newspa­ per a handful of times, and each time I expect to come away with some information of substantial content. Now, I’m not saying the entire paper is fluff, as some of the writers are obviously destined to be journalists, but do I really need to know what each member of a group was wearing when they went out at night during Spring Break? (“Spring Break Packs action in Rosarito”) With both of this writer’s (and I use this term loosely) articles, the moment by moment account of his experience seemed more like a postcard to a buddy than a true entertainment-based journalistic report. I realize Spring Break is an important event in many col­ lege students’ lives, as it once was in mipe, but I think the writers should realize who their audience is. The student body at Cal State San Marcos consists of many age groups, with a large majority being over the age of thirty. Don’t get me wrong. Community, legal, and campus cause-related hap­ penings are all very interesting and enjoyable to read, but it would be nice to see some articles deal­ ing with more serious issues happening on and off campus. There is so much going on in this big world that is or could ultimately affect each of us as adults, which I’m assuming we all are. How about some articles that tie in with some larger issues? If CSUSM is to be ever considered a “real” univer­ sity, rather than just a step above junior college for the local commuters, then we’d better start acting like one.

Reed Chancellor The California State University 400 Golden Shore LongB e a c h ,CA 90802-4275 Re: Paid Ad, THE PRIDE, 4/9/02 Good Morning Chancellor Reed: I would like to respectfully request that you contact your counterpart at the CA Dept of Public Health to ascertain whether the retaliatory measures against me, (denial of benefits while on disability leave) are common to all campuses or are restricted to me & CSUSM. If the latter, I would like to respectfully request that you contact your counterpart at the CA State Attorney GeneraVs Office, andfind out if this immoral, unjustified and unwarranted retaliation (by mgmt-type staff members) does in fact date back to 8/20/92. This is when I went to my alleged supervisorfor help with a serious problem in the warehouse. He did not go into the warehouse. He did not get out of his chair. HE DID NOT LOOK ME IN THE EYES. But he did deny that there was a serious problem in said warehouse. In addition to the retaliation, I have witnessed, in my personal opinion and in my presence, DISCRIMINATION, ABUSE OF POWER, AND A LARGE LOSS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. As an irate taxpayer, I take umbrage at this preventable brouhaha. As such, I would like to find out, if in fact, there has been collusion and/or conspiracy by CSUSM mgmt-type staff members, against me and if so, is this fraud upon the taxpayers because o f the amount of tax dollars wasted. Additionally, please investigate if my termination, while on disability leave and my forced retirement is in fact illegal orjust mere sick retaliation. The truth cannot be denied, Chancellor Reed. I, or if necessary, my estate, intend to see justice served. I look forward to working with you and assorted agencies to put closure to this attempted insulting, derogatory, and dehumanizing of me as a human being. Itis really pathetic when an ex-employee has to address the Chancellorfor redress. PS: My career stopped on that same 8/20/92. Regards Michale C Hardick 1341E.

Even Star Wars fans (dressed out of this World) showed up to celebrate mother earth. The event included many informational booths, musicians, dancers and games. Matthew Funes Playing the Violin Pride Photo/Kateri Rogers By KATERI RODGERS Pride Staff Writer Over 100 people gathered together to enjoy the wonder­ ful sounds of classical music as they observed a quartet of dis­ tinguished performers playing the viola, violin, and cello to the Italian renditions of Bach, Schubert, Mozart and Gardel music that has been cherished across cultures and across time. The quartet included the musi­ cal talent of Matthew Funes, viola; Amy Hershberger and Aimee Kreston, violin; and Rowena Hammill, cello. Thursday’s performance not only honored the memory and vision of Matthew Funes’ father, Dr. Donald J. Funes (1939-1999), but also raised funds for the Funes Funds. The Funes Funds was established by Dr. Funes to assist students in attending arts events in the region as they followed their passion and broadened their understanding of the arts. Dr. Funes joined Cal State San Marcos in 1990 as a professor and architect in the Visual and Performing Arts program. He was a trained flutist and spe­ cialized in indigenous Andean musical instruments. “I knew Dr. Funes very well; he was a very close friend. » >Article cont. on pg. 2 To the Left: Hundreds ofInformational Booths Filled Balboa Parkfor Earth Day Visitors to Explore.

Pride Photo/Melanie Addington fc o S S ta » » !§Sg] »>Article cont, on pg. 4 Planetary Alignment: Something like a Phenomenon By SHERRITA COBBS Pride Staff Writer Last Monday, the five major planets in our solar system were clearly aligned and visible to the “naked eye.” This week marked the beginning of a rare astro­ nomical phenomenon that will continue for the next four to six weeks. During this time period, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will be totally aligned and in plain view. The last time the planets were aligned in a linear position was in 1940. Our solar system is like a disc, in which each planet is set respectively in the same plane. Mark Sappenfield, staff writer from The Christian Science Mon­ itor, explained that, “from earth, the sun, the moon, and every planet follow the same track through the sky, called ecliptic.” The configuration of planets “operate like clockwork as they go around the sun, and some­ times they gather together. This is one of those times. Every 20 years or so, Jupiter and Saturn are close together in the sky... Planetary alignments and con­ junctions —the forming of lines or distinct shapes —occur when the planets gather on the same side of the sun,” explained Kelly Beatty, an astronomist and the executive editor of “Sky and Tele­ scope Magazine.” These planets will become visible 45 minutes after the sun sets. Experts say that the best place for viewing this spectacular phenomenon are places where the horizon is planar to where you stand. For exam­ ple, for San Diegans who live in coastal areas surrounded by water, the ocean would be the best place to view this “festival of lights.” For those who are more inland, surrounded by mountains and valleys, the best place might be in the comfort of your back­ yard, or places where sunsets are visibly undisturbed. “Usually, planets are spaced out where a line is not apparent. Saturn, for instance, takes 80 earth years to circle the sun and Mercury takes 88 days to circle the sun,” said Thomas Aguilar, staff writer for the skypub.com newsletter. From our perspec­ tive, planetary alignment creates a definite phenomenon because of the unusual positioning of the five planets near each other and on the same side of the sun. Although the alignment of the planets will occur throughout the six-week period, note these highlighted dates when experts predict this spectacle of light will produce the most brilliant results. April 27-29: Mercury, usu­ ally hard to spot because it’s located so near the sun, appears at 16 degrees above the horizon. Saturn, Mars and Venus are crammed together. May 5: Mars, Venus and Saturn form a perfect equilateral triangle. May 10-12: Mars and Venus are positioned one in front of the other, appearing as one object. May 14-15: The planets will form a kind of necklace. May 16-17: A crescent moon leads a crooked line of planets. Mercury takes up the rear, barely visible above the horizon, on the verge of disappearing. There is a perk for “skywatchers” with access to tele­ scopes and the motivation to get up in the middle of the night. At about 4 a.m., the rest of the plan­ ets in the solar system— Nep­ tune, Uranus and Pluto, will also appear.

Here are some suggestions on how to find a Spanish video in the Media Library: Using the library cata­ log, click on the “Genre/Form” link and type in “Spanish foreign language films” (or any other lan­ guage you’re looking for) and you should get an alphabetical listing of all the titles in that language that the library owns. Or, if you use any of the other search crite­ ria to find a Spanish video, such as author, title, or subject, click on the blue “Limit this Search” button, which will be at both the top and bottom of your search results. Click on the pull-down menu and highlight “video” under Material Type, then click on the gray bar at the bottom that reads “Limit/sort items retrieved using above data.” This will pull only the videos from your initial search. If you have further ques­ tions, please ask library staff for assistance. “Library hours are NOT con­ venient for students. Study group rooms are a necessity, and you do not have them available. Please try to extend hours to stay open until 10:00 p.m. Mon-Thurs and till 6:00 p.m. Fridays and from 11:00 until 6:00 p.m. on week­ ends. Even college campuses stay open till 10:00!” Additional hours: Asking that the library be open longer is one of the most frequent suggestions we receive. We recognize the demand for additional hours, but staffing and budget do not allow us to add hours beyond the addi­ tional hours. We do provide more hours, at the end of each semes­ ter, when we extend our open hours from 68.5 hours to 76.5 (eight extra hours.) The extended hours have been: Sat. and Sun., 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Mon. Thurs. 8 a.m. -10 p.m. We did set our hours after consultation with the Palomar College Library and try to com­ plement our hours with theirs so that students have a place to study on weekends.

Carm el Street S an Marcos, C A Japanese Ikebana Demonstration By BRIAN FISHER Staff Writer Students and faculty were invited to participate in a Japa­ nese flower arrangement dem­ onstration (also called Ikebana) last Wednesday on Founders’ Plaza. Sensei Imamura noted that approximately 50 people participated in the demon­ stration in spite of the cold weather. “This is my hobby, so we had a lot of fun,” explained Ise Huffman, a teacher at the Ohara School of Ikebana. Huffman’s arrangements included orchids, lilies, ferns, carnations, plumb branches, moss and even pars­ ley. The arrangements are con­ structed by attaching flowers and branches to spiked plates in the bottom of shallow pots of water. A border of moss or parsley complements the display. Students were able to exper­ iment with more simplistic arrangement styles, selecting from assortments of carna­ tions, daises and lilies. Stu­ dents inserted flowers in a foam block, making various creative patterns. “I’m giving this to my m o t n s a i d one student, after finishing her elaborate Ikebana arrangement.

This waterfront play­ ground of colonial charm affords the tourist plenty of activities. During the day, take a stroll on the cobblestoned streets of Faneuil Hall Marketplace, located in the heart of down­ town Boston. There, you’ll see the original ‘Cheers’ bar, experi­ ence ethnic foods like authentic Italian ice cream (served by deli­ cious Italian-speaking waiters), and watch live street perform­ ers practice traditional Irish dancing. Take a moment to admire the blend of Neoclassic and Greek-inspired architecture, unique to this area. By nightfall, be sure and stop in “The Yan­ kee’s” or “Revere’s Pub” and find out exactly what inspired Sam Adams to start his Bostonbased beer business. Besides having the opportu­ nity to actually hear someone say they have to “pahk a cahs in Hahvihd Yahd,” visiting the historical site of HarvardjSquare provides an experience all its own. Driving in, you’ll be awed CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor by the colonial style brick-red buildings of the university that surrounds Harvard Square. Here, you can check out everything from a quaint Mexican food res­ taurant to quirky souvenir shops - a tourist’s paradise. When you’re done shopping, you can walk through the Harvard Uni­ versity grounds and read about the history of the campus on engraved stone mantels protected by really intimidating looking gargoyle statuettes. The club scene in Boston is not to be missed. Just picture yourself sipping on an apple mar­ tini, listening to the latest Paul Oakenfold mix while admiring the perfect view of snow slowly falling to the street from atop an exclusive nightclub. In down­ town, the music of choice is house and techno, and all of the clubs’ patrons are dressed up - East Coast style. Forget those tight V-neck’s and Hawai­ ian style shirts that the gentlemen of San Diego sport. Bostonian males are dressed for success in pressed collared shirts. Little black or red strappy dresses seem to be favorites for feminine eve­ ning attire there. There’s nothing like expe­ riencing culture shock in your own country. And there’s no better way to experience it than to take a trip across die country to Boston. Professor Marcos Martinez, Silverio Haro, Dulce Solis, Jeana Reagan, Lydia Tonantzin Contre­ ras, Joe Cordero, Luis Torres and Phil Jerge brought to the stage the words of Latino poet Jimmy San­ tiago Baca, in “Martin,” which premiered last weekend. The poetry reading/play was an inspi­ ration of Martinez. The poem is about an extremely difficult jour­ ney and, at the same time, a reflection of his life and of our lives as the audience. “This poem is about facing your life experiences, whatever they may be, and turning negative experiences into positive results. It’s about overcoming adversity, building a family, and making decisions that move your life for­ ward,” said Martinez. The play starts with Martin’s birth, as he was abandoned and abused, and traces his development as he con­ tinues to face many challenges.

He is right; there is no easy interpretation of the play. It touches you indepen­ dently, differently. “At first, I did not know how Martinez was going to bring a poem into stage. It is a poem that Martinez and my co­ actors brought alive,” said Con­ treras. The presentation began with Polka dance, and led to the intriguing poetry reading on Martin, one of the two narra­ tive poems from Baca’s “Martin & Meditations on the South Valley.” (New Directions Paper­ back, 1987). The play takes place on a simple stage with a few candles, a chair and an altar. The lighting was created by Bruce Beers, director of operations at the Cali­ fornia Center for the Arts, Escon­ dido, and the photography comes from Patricio Chavez, former visual arts curator of the Centro Cultural de la Raza, currently an instructor and graduate student at the University of California, San Diego. The play lasts an hour and there is a $5 donation that will go to the Visual and Performing Arts program. The next performances will be on April 25, 26 and 27, beginning at 8 p.m., at the Cal State San Marcos Visual*and Per­ forming Arts Annex, located on 441 La Moree, in San Marcos.

Over­ all, the music didn’t distract the Iflow of the film and almost always complimented each scene. If you’re looking for special effects comparable to “The Mummy” films, look elsewhere. Most of The “Scorpion King” is based on melee combat sequences with very few dazzling visual effects. In short, get tickets for “The Scorpion King” if you want entertainment without requiring your brain to work. With its little redeeming value, there are better movies out there that will cer­ tainly “give you more bang for your buck.” �G etting w h a t ’ Coming to You s By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer Let’s play a quick number game. 11,05, 4.07, 3.06. Now the object is to guess what these numbers represent. Are they the answers to some mind-bending Mensa test? Close. Are they my bank account balances for the past three months? Closer. Are they the dates that doomsday cults have decreed the world will end on? They might as well be. They are the fictional dates (but are real dates any truer?) of com­ pletion for various improvements around campus and are so far away they’re about as relevant as the impending doom foretold in “The Weekly World News,” or whatever trashy rag you don’t admit to reading. The gargantuan new library, the bountiful parking structures and the luxurious new dorms have been pitched to us, the hard-working students, in terms that bring to mind Xanadu-esque vistas but deliver naught but a “Beyond Thunder Dome” reality. All of these things that we are currently paying good money to construct, all of these things that would be really great to have, all of these things that most of us will not be around to enjoy. I’m sorry if I sound a little bitter, but when I show up on campus, a half an hour early to find parking, and arrive at my 10:00 a.m. class 15 minutes late because I couldn’t, I get a little twinge of jealousy for the next generation of CSUSM stu­ dents who will reap the benefits wrought by our sacrifice. What sacrifice? OK, it’s not like I’m personally financing the entire expansion effort, but, of course, I contribute financially whether I like it or not. Oh, did I mention that it’s ugly? OK, I said it. Construction is not pretty; I go to an ugly school; I’m so ashamed. But let’s back up a little before I get good and ranting. Why do we attend Cal State San Marcos? Scenario number one - You worked hard in high school, got fantastic grades, but because of financial/lifestyle/circumstantial issues, you decided to forego the Ivy League and boldly continue your education at a small, upand-coming campus with lots of potential where, gosh dam it, you just might make a difference. Scenario number two - You piddled around in high school and didn’t get the best possible grades all the time; well, maybe you did. You were unsure of the road you wanted to head down and couldn’t see subjecting yourself to a lifetime of student loan paybacks for the privilege of changing your major three times at a university where you are paying more for the landscap­ ing than for the Pulitzer/Nobel/ whatever prize-winning profes­ sors, who are teaching you the saitie crap (if theyYe teaching you anything at all) that you could learn at CSUSM. Are you the former or some­ thing like it? I understand that this is a gross generalization and that the CSUSM student body is a rich and varied one. But if that’s the case, then you should proba­ bly just stop reading now, put the paper down and continue on your merry way, because you’re prob­ ably not going to agree with me, and I’m not really trying to con­ vince you. If you feel that the administration is working their collective keisters off trying to make this the best campus pos­ sible for the bargain price that we pay, then fine, great, more power to you. That is a fantastic attitude to have, and I hope it makes you very happy. However, if you are like me (see scenario two), then maybe you feel like you have the right and responsibility to com­ plain about the shabby conditions that we are immersed in. Of course, I can’t speak for anyone but myself, and all I know is that I have 38.5 units left. I have two semesters and a summer ses­ sion to do it in. At registration time, I am competing with what seems like hundreds of other stu­ dents (so I know some of you are in the same boat) for a limited amount of classes. And when we sit shoulder to shoulder (those of us who get in), squished in to the very back walls, I wonder if maybe I should have chosen a less popular major. I guess I should be tolerant, because plans are in the works to expand the course schedule and offer more classes at a time and so forth. This will be really great in five years when it happens, and, as an added bonus, the people who are trying to enroll then will have one less person to compete with because I will already have grad­ uated ... hopefully. Furthermore, as I sit in my much-hated poetry class (which I take because any class relevant to my major is full) and stare out the windows, I can’t help but think how the construction vehi­ cles resemble insects and dino­ saurs. Oh look, there goes a dump truck that looks like a yellow jacket, and that crane is a bronto­ saurus. That’s really special; that and the incessant boom-boom of the construction process make for an environment that’s really conducive to learning. Not that I’m blaming the noise or the con­ stant distraction for my inability to appreciate Wordsworth and Blake; OK, maybe I am just a little. But moreover, it’s aestheti­ cally unappealing. When I drive to school or as I sit in my classes or walk around campus being accosted at all turns by the dust, dirt and discarded remnants of progress, I sort of long for the erstwhile days of sprinklers and recesses, if only for a brief respite from the tedium of construction, construction, construction. Con­ struction of structures, I might add, that I will not be able to enjoy. This is the part that some of you might find annoying. I don’t have any (read that as zip, zero, not a single one) suggestions on how to fix this. Buildings take time to erect. Plans are in the works, and it’s not like I was Shanghaied and forced to attend school here. I knew what I was getting into, but the reality of it is just a bit much. Making Everyday Earthday: What You Can Do On Campus To Make A Difference By RAY HINES for The Pride Have you ever wondered how you alone can make a difference in our environment? Often times in the news, we hear about uncon­ trolled population growth, global warming, air and water pollution, and solid waste depicted as over­ whelming issues that can seem way too big to pursue alone. That is why it will be a comfort to read this article and share it with friends who may feel like you do. Each spring, we are reminded about the most pressing environ­ mental concerns with the coming of Earthday. Earthday began in April of 1970 and has since been a successful tool in drawing the public’s attention to environmen­ tal problems, both locally and globally. The response to Earth­ day has sent a message to policymakers that environmen­ tal issues are of real public concern and definitely worthy of political consideration. With the current administration in the White House, it is, now more than ever, important to show your support for the environmen­ tal movement. The recent “4-1-1” event here on campus gave stu­ dents and staff access to some of the environmental organizations in our area and provided infor­ mation, insight, and a chance to get involved. If getting involved directly with these and other organizations isn’t your bag, don’t feel alienated. There is still plenty that you can do to help. What can I do? To be an environmentallyminded individual doesn’t take anything more than considering what you do, and finding out if there is anything about your behavior that adversely affects the environment around you. Can you change those behaviors to try and mutually benefit yourself and the environment? The ques­ tion echoes the familiar “Think Globally, Act Locally” quote, which supports action here on the campus of CSUSM and around the world. Here are 10 suggestions to “Think Globally, Act Locally.” 1. Don’t throw recyclable materials in the trash. Recycle your cans, plastic bottles, and used paper in the proper bins, which are located conveniently next to the trashcans around campus. 2. If you do not have recy­ cling services at home, bring your recyclable materials to school and use the bins here. 3. Reuse paper that has only been printed on one side and then recycle it. 4. Bring your own lunch in a reusable container. The fast food here and off campus is unhealthy anyway and creates tons of trash. 5. Walk, ride your bike, take public transportation, or carpool to school. If you find this difficult, pressure school repre­ sentatives to establish a rideshare program. 6. Guys, use the urinal instead of the toilet if you are only going to pee. It uses only half as much water per flush. 7. Gals, don’t believe that ANY sanitary products can be safely flushed down the toilet. They contain chemicals (bleach and other contaminants) and can clog waste treatment facilities, cause blockages, and end up pol­ luting our waterways and coast­ lines. 8. After washing your hands, use an air hand dryer if available, if not, use ONE paper towel. 9. Carry a refillable water bottle with you and fill it from the drinking fountain or the “water” tab on the Coca-Cola machine in the Dome. 10. Carry a refillable coffee/ soda mug; you will get a discount and reduce the amount of Styro­ foam that ends up in landfills. These 10 simple steps can make quite a difference if fol­ lowed by everyone here on campus, and better yet, around the world. It doesn’t take much more energy to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It just takes a little bit more consideration, something we all could use. Additional information about campus programs, events, and environmental awareness can be found by contacting the Envi­ ronmental Club on campus. The Environmental Club invites you to get involved - Thursdays in UNIV 460 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. I was raised on a vision of college, which included campus housing (maybe it’s not spacious but certainly more cost effective than the norm of $1100 for a two -bedroom apartment), walking to classes (the ones you actually need) across ample parking lots and completely finished cause­ ways, studying with no distrac­ tions in a well-equipped library, and knowing, knowing this is the best my campus is ever going to be. Maybe I’m just jealous of those who will come after me and actually have all the things I only can wish for. However, there is an attitude, both disturbing and oh so prevalent, that we should all just accept things as they are because we don’t pay very much in tuition and fees. I think that’s crap. Nobody wants or deserves a bargain basement education just because they can’t afford a school with more established prestige. CSUSM has more than just spatial potential. We have the potential to be a school known for its resourcefulness and refusal to settle for anything but the best. Raise your voices, cats and kit­ tens. If you don’t like things, let’s change them. Let’s get what we deserve instead of only what we are paying for. I’d certainly love to hear any suggestions. Let’s make it so we can actually find a parking spot, get the classes we need, and not feel guilty because we are asking for too much. Wel­ come back, youthful angst. In Response to D avid Yanagi Letter to Editor The expression and beliefs held in the article addressing the issues of 9-11 and the IsraeliPalestinian conflict (from the April 16 issue) perpetuate the absurdly one-sided media in this country. However, it was worse to see such a travesty published in The Pride as we should base our thoughts on logic and knowledge. Our con­ cern as an American society and college students should be focused on the protection of civil liberties within our own nation and the end of the ‘blame game.’ It is truly sad to see a student pointing the finger at a particular ethnic group in such an accusatory manner to defend their freedom of speech. As ‘ Americans’ we should embrace diversity, not stress the possi­ ble enemy, which may reside with our citizenry. It is a time to forget who is at fault and to achieve some higher level of morality. May the powerful one bless us all in these times we face.

I would like to conclude with a passage from an interview with a commander in the Israeli army, which was conducted by the Israeli journalist Amos Oz and published in the Israeli daily newspaper, Davar, on December 17, 1982. “Even today I am will­ ing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, to kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and bum them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the mg from underneath the feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and there, I don’t care. And I don’t mind if, after the job is done, you put me in front of a Nuremberg Trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, as a war criminal. Then you can spruce up your Jewish conscience and enter the respectable club of civilized nations, nations that are large and healthy. What your lots don’t understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it.” Amos Oz has never revealed the true identity of the speaker, but he is pre­ sumed to be Ariel Sharon by many sources. It is very important to note, that although the media may not relay it to the American public, the leader of the Palestin­ ian people, Arafat, is actually a Christian. Hence, it would be a veiy uneducated assumption to think of this dilemma as a con­ flict between Judaism and Islam. Sincerely, Civan Erman Gokcimen On Behalf of the Filthy Smoke-Wielding Monsters of CSUSM By GEORGE BURGESS JR Pride Staff Writer If you were annoyed with last week’s rant, titled “Choking in the Stairwell,” you were not alone. If you missed the article, I can sum it up quickly because it had only one valid point. Smok­ ing in front of building entranceways is not fair to “non-smokers and smokers alike.” To answer the question posed, “Why is it people smoke in the most absurd places, like right in front of the entrance to a restau­ rant or in a busy stairwell?” let me state that, quite simply, this is where the ashtrays are gen­ erally located. Smokers do not determine the locations of the designated smoking areas. If you don’t like where the ashtrays are placed, take it up with Student Services. I’m sure they would love to hear from you. Are readers really expected to believe this quote: “Every Tuesday and Thursday, as I walk to my final class in University Hall, I find myself taking the stairs and choking on the clouds of cigarette smoke that fill the stairwell”? This sounds fairly dramatic and exaggerated to me. It is more likely that, occasion­ ally, on Tuesdays and Thursdays on your way to University Hall, after smelling smoke, you fake a slight cough. To let nearby smokers know that you do not like smoke. I call this move the “FC,” or fake cough. If you don’t believe me, hang around a place where smokers and non-smokers cross paths and decide for your­ self. If you really want to have fun, invite a friend and together identify FC’s, then score them in Olympic fashion. Remember to consider intensity, volume and overall believability. Anti-smokers isolate ciga­ rette butts as the only form of litter on campus. Cigarette butts should never be thrown any­ where except in an ashtray; how­ ever, cigarette butts are not the only form of garbage needlessly thrown on the ground. Over the course of a semester, how many flyers are thrown on the ground in the parking lot? I can hear the responses already. “Flyers don’t harm anyone, but second-hand smoke does.” Right? Why is it that people get so outraged about second-hand smoke, yet most people don’t think twice about filling their tank with gas or burning oil and coal? Isn’t the use of fossil fuel more harmful to the environment and our health? To the people complaining about second handsmoke, how important was the air to you when you voted? It will be interesting to see how involved the second-hand smoke Nazis get with the three major power plants tentatively scheduled for construction in Mexico. I’ll give you three guesses to figure out why these plants are going to be built south of the border, but I bet you’ll need only one. If you are really concerned about polluting the air, do the world a favor and focus on something bigger than the trace amounts of toxins you may be receiving from second-hand smoke on campus. If you are really concerned about litter, pick something up. Chances are, you just don’t like smoke. Until I am informed otherwise, I am within my rights to smoke in the desig­ nated areas. It’s my luck that someone reading this is severely asth­ matic, vegan, always considerate of others, voted green, has never littered, obeys every law, con­ sciously strives to think objec­ tively and is rightfully offended. To you, I offer my apologies. H A V E A N OPINION? S UBMIT A LETTER TO T HE EDITORS TO P RIDE@ CSUSM .EDU To t h e lefty O ld Logo, To the right.

In spite of the fact that the team posted no victories this season, optimism abounded. “We always want to build a positive foundation for the team and take out the negative,” said Michael Nguyen. The Cougars had one of their last games of the season on April 18 at UCSD, against the Tri­ tons. The game was aggressively played by both squads. The Tri­ tons scored six goals in the first half and the Cougars scored two goals in the second, courtesy of Jason Walton and Brad Goodwill. During the second half of the game, the Cougar defense held UCSD scoreless during the third quarter. At one point, a time -out was called by a referee in order to ask both teams to “play clean and let us call the game.” The Tritons at times appeared to be frustrated because they were not performing as well as they would have liked to. Toward the end of the game, a fight broke out because one of the Triton players jabbed a Cougar in the ribs with his stick, forcing him to retaliate by hitting that same Triton in the face. After they both were called out for a few minutes, the Triton player apologized and they shook hands. Throughout the game, the team would huddle. The hud­ dles included positive and moti­ vational words from all of the players. The majority of the team is entirely new to lacrosse. Captain Cory Barnhart talked many play­ ers into joining the team, includ­ ing Erik Roper and Michael Nguyen. “He bugged me into playing and I cracked out and fell in love with it” said Nguyen. At the beginning of the season, their first coach stopped attending shortly after the first game for unknown reasons. Scott Srustulka was a spectator at one of their games early in the season. He began speaking with Barnhart and became aware that they were in need of a coach. Srustulka has an abundance of lacrosse expe­ rience and decided to take the position of head coach for the Cougars. Srustulka explained that he “put the team together I could with what I had.” Associated Students, Inc.(ASI) helped out with some of the funding, which included “league dues, referees, and insurance for the players,” Srustulka said. In order to fully finance the team, the players held fundraisers like car washes. In addition, they also took dona­ tions and even used their own money to pay for the necessary equipment and uniforms. The team endured practice three times a week for two hours. Coach Srustulka was not too adamant about the play­ ers attending every practice this year because he stepped in at mid-season. “Practice is an example of how you play. Despite the losses, the morale was always there,” said Coach Srustulka. Next year, there will be an even more strict, Women’s Soccer Team Begins Practicing By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor As semesters continue to pass by, Cal State San Marcos’ sports teams continue tp grow. The newest addition is the wom­ en’s soccer team, which practices every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. on Mangrum Field. Although the team has not begun its regular season league play, which will begin next fall, Associated Students Incorpo­ rated (ASI) has recognized it as an official club sports team, according to the co-captains. The team, co-captained by Carol Devendorf, a sophomore majoring in Liberal Studies, and Casie Burke, a sophomore major­ ing in Human Development, was established because they “played soccer for years, and there are not many sports, neither many women’s sports, in school. We all just love the sport and want to play it,” said Devendorf. The practices are very infor­ mal, according to the co-captains. “It is to get back in shape and to remember how to play soccer again .. ..we don’t want to intimidate anybody,” said Deven­ dorf. Burke added, “It’s very easy-going.” The captains also said that the team is working on basic skills and strengthening abili­ ties. Devendorf and Burke are both very enthusiastic about find­ ing new players to join next semester’s league. “We are look­ ing for competitive players, of all ages,” said Devendorf. Another team player, Brit­ tany Jones, sophomore and Lib­ eral Studies major, said, “I think more people should come [to practices.] It’s been fun (being on the women’s soccer team).” Next semester’s goals for the team’s first CSUSM league are The Pride Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor FeatureEditor Opinion Editor Arts Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell M artha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey Alyssa Finkelstein Melanie Addington Amy Bolaski Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall ; All ojrinib^s; letters to the editor, published id The Pride, represent die opinions o f the httthOr, and do not necessarily represent the viCW of The Pride, S to have an “active involvement in school,” according to Burke, and to have “unity and a good time,” according to Devendorf. “We don’t want to lose, people in the middle of the league because they get bored; we want them to be interested in it ” added Burke.

Neverthe­ less, positive signs were shown as “many players stepped up when the captain and other players had conflicting schedules, which shows good leadership,” Nguyen said. CSUSM is “a commuter school, so it is hard to build unity, but it has definitely improved from the beginning in compari­ son to the end. Sacraficing a little bit of time, money and personal interest is vital for the school’s success,” said, maintaing that his goal for next season is simply “to win. Srustulka plans to promote the sport in an entertaining fash­ ion in order to get fans to come out and support the team. “We would really appreciate more school spirit to any one who will come out and give us support,” said Nguyen. As a team, the Cougars hang out together outside of school, as well. They had a bonfire in the beginning of the season. Team members often get together for dinners and parties to promote team unity. During the summer, some of the team members will join summer men’s lacrosse teams.

There are simply not enough study spaces in our 28,000 square feet in Craven Hall. When we move into the new building (which will have more than 150,000 square feet for library functions), we will have 35 group study rooms. “Place more signs in the library to remind students to be considerate by not using cell phones.” We checked on our signage and find them on both floors near study areas. We simply do not have enough staff to ‘police’ the library for cell phone and food offenders but have found that fellow students are very effective when they ask other students to be more considerate. “It is very frustrating when I ask every day how to work the computer to locate or find journals or books. I’ve made an appointment with a reference librarian, but she didn’t stay long enough to help me. On the phone she told me that I had an hour with her, but it was quite differ­ ent because it was only 15 min­ utes - and still I wasn’t sure how to use the computer. So I con­ tinue to ask every day. Everyone is too busy to help. I wish they had access to these databases in public libraries. Reference librar­ ians there are less hectic, less in a hurry. Please change!” We are sorry to hear that you’ve had this experience. Your comments have been forwarded to the Research Services Group (RSG) for discussion. We do acknowledge that we are very busy! The tremendous growth in our student population means we are trying to help more students with the same number of staff. However, our number one pri­ ority is helping students with their information needs. We hope that your next experience with research assistance is more posi­ tive. “I rarely complain or fill out comment cards, but I must report on the uselessness of the copy machines in the library. Libraries need good copy machines. These machines are cheap and produce awful reproductions and copies. If this is going to be considered a competitive university the stu­ dents need capable resources!” In December the university changed its copy service from IKON to an in-house service pro­ vided by Campus Enterprises.

The celebration took place on Wednesday from 1:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. in front of Craven Hall, by the flagpole.

Bell, a former assistant director of Student and Resi­ dential Life at CSUSM, filed the lawsuit on October 12, 2000. He was hired at Cal State San Marcos in June 1997 and later resigned in January 2001. Bell claimed to be a victim of dis­ crimination and harassment, and he believed these problems made his working conditions intolerable. Bell also claimed -that his complaints were not taken seriously, only redirected, and that he was denied promo­ tions and raises because of his race. According to the jury, there was no evidence or proof that Bell’s intolerable problems were caused by .any racially moti­ vated decisions made by his supervisors. Furthermore, one of the jury members said the defense had presented a better case, which ultimately led CSUSM to win. The jury came to a deci­ sion after about 4 Vi hours of deliberation, but the verdict has not stopped Bell’s accusations against CSUSM; he has decided to continue with the case. “I feel I have continued to be betrayed by employees there,” said Bell. “I feel that this isn’t the end. I intend to keep on going.” Michelle Perfili, Bell’s attorney, said she would file > »A rticle cont. on pg. 2 Photo Courtesy o f www.nctimes.com By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer The Grand Opening of the Campus Marketplace The grand opening took place on Saturday at 12:00p.m. The picture on the left is Long Drugs and the Alpha Chi Omega women, Leina Lo and Katie Cottrell are pictured on the right, conducting a fundraising car wash.

The event is the first in what PAN hopes will become an annual event intended to encourage CSUSM students, as well as the surround­ ing community, to be more envi­ ronmentally conscious. The 4-1-1 coincided with National Alternative Fuel Vehi­ cle Day and came just prior to Earth Day. Some students who attended the event were given the opportunity to test drive a new hybrid vehicle, the Prius, from Toyota, which was provided courtesy of Toyota of Escon­ dido. The name “Prius” means “to go before” in Latin, and is so named because it is Toyota’s first standard production hybrid. Although it looks compact on the outside, it has an interior roughly the size of a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic.

President Dustin Naylor pre­ sented information regarding the ‘Indian Rock Native Garden Project,’ a collaborative project involving faculty member and visual artist Deborah Small, anthropologist Bonnie Bade and the Native American San Luis Rey Band, to the Execu­ tive Board on Wednesday. “I see a lot of potential for some great community-university relationships that can be built,” said Naylor, as he intro­ duced his explanatory handout to the board. The garden will be a semes­ ter long project of the ‘ Advanced Computer Art’ class (VSAR 402) taught by Deborah Small next spring. The students will be thoroughly involved in the cultivation and physical imple­ mentation of the Indian Rock Garden, which has yet to be designed. Students will also be engaged “with the local com­ munity, come to know the social, economic, environmen­ tal, historical, and cultural worlds in .which the members of the community live” said Naylor. He added that students are going to be exposed to, “ethno-botanical methods, including documentation of plant uses, native plant classifi­ cations schemes, plant history, lore and stories, plant applica­ tions, administration and pro­ cessing methods, harvest and cultivation requirements, and the geographic distributions of the plans under study.” The original idea of c re>»A rticle cont. on pg. 2 �H ousing Construction Impacts Student Parking » > Article cont. from pg. 1 the maximum capacity of 302, for slightly longer than a year. When complete the dormi­ tory buildings will reach almost to the point in the parking area where the pavement has been removed. According to Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, once the dormitories are completed lot O will perma­ nently lose 40 to 50 spaces. As for the impact on parking problems for the next year, Kno­ block said, they (parking ser­ vices) are “anticipating an impact in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMACC) overflow lot and are preparing to expand stack parking.” Knoblock also said, parking services is*“expanding carpool spaces by adding 25 more designated spaces in lot C,” which is the most popular park­ ing lot, located closest to campus on the comer of Craven Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Although the entire area fenced off in lot O is not nec­ essary for the actual construc­ tion of the student housing, Brad Fenton, project manager for Plan­ ning, Design, and Construction, said, “It wouldn’t be safe to allow people to park right next to the construction area.” In addition to the safety regulations, Knoblock said extra spaces were needed to allow for a turnaround lane, which provides room for people to easily drive around the lot, rather than having to back out as the spaces next the fence fill up. Included in the housing proj­ ect is a new parking lot, which will be located directed East of lot O, but this lot will be reserved for “residents of the dorms and another university department,” said Knoblock.

Sabraw, who replaced the original judge, that CSU attor­ neys engaged in misconduct when they told the court one of their witnesses would testify that Bell’s gay lifestyle, not his treatment on the job, caused his stress. Although a psychothera­ pist testified this was not true, the defense claimed he would find Bell’s lifestyle as the cause of his stress. The defense’s claim led Bell to declare his sexual ori­ entation during jury selection, which according to Perfili might make a North County jury less sympathetic. The trial took place in Vista Superior Court and lasted 10 days. Bell’s case is not the only discrimination lawsuit against CSUSM; other cases have been resolved in the past and others are still awaiting trial. ♦The North County Times was used as a source for this article.

With land at a premium price and the university growing at a rapid rate the only practical way to deal with parking woes is to build up. “There are already plans for a parking structure but how to fund the project and where to build first are ,still being discussed,” said Fenton. “I have built parking structures in the past, and it can be done.” Knoblock agreed and said, “The big piece is the funding source.” She also said decisions are “always a balancing act” between needs and funds, and since parking services is based on a self-support system, they are “exploring ways in public and private partnerships for rev­ enue.” “We (parking services) are exploring ways to keep from making drastic changes,” said Knoblock. Knoblock said, parking ser­ vices “encourages car-pooling and takes concerns, complaints and suggestions very seriously.” More information on Parking Services and Planning, Design and Construction can be found through the Cal State San Marcos Department Directory on the web-site at www.csusm.edu.

According to the Corroland Review, a website dedicated to 1993 and onwards Toyota cars, “City mileage is also greatly helped by the fact that, unlike ‘normal’ cars, the Toyota Prius regains some of your energy when you stop, taking what would normally just be heat (and worn brake pads) and convert­ ing it back into electricity.” Students milled around during the event, enjoying music from three local music acts: The Rabbits(from CSUSM), Serial Carpens (from the Encinitas area), and DJ Showtime. When asked about the importance of music in supporting events such as this one, one observer com­ mented, “It’s the music that makes people stop and pay atten­ tion, even if it’s not really their thing, it draws them into the real message.” Also represented at the 4-1-1 were many environmentally and socially conscious organizations. The Sierra Club, The Envi­ ronmental Club, The Surfrider Foundation, and the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy were a few organizations among a long list of participants. Also in atten­ dance was Robert Nanninga, a columnist for The Coast News and CSUSM alumni.

Villasenor’s speech paid tribute to Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ghandi because they chose peace instead of violence to advocate change. Armando Martinez Velazquez, from Oaxaca, Mexico, speaks in English, Span­ ish and is fluent Nahuatl, an indigenous language that is grad­ ually becoming extinct. Going back and forth between the three languages, Martinez spoke about how proud he was of Chavez’s accomplishments while fighting for farm worker rights.

I couldn’t under­ stand.” The event concluded with a candle light vigil honoring Cesar E. Chavez Day of Service and Learning. Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later became known as the United Farm Workers (UFW).

So without having to spend too much money on airplane tick­ ets, I booked a condo down south at the Paloma Beach condos, located in Rosarito, Mexico. I told some friends they could stop by anytime over the weekend to crash if they needed to. They could have the run of the house except for the master bedroom, which was mine. I drove down on Thursday night with friends Hayden, Mike, and Chivito. It was only an hour and an half drive from Vista with light traf­ fic. We got there late Thursday night, settled in and then drove farther south to Ensenada where we went to drink at Hussons. It was a mellow night, no real par­ tying, but we met some very nice stewardesses and invited them to stop by the next afternoon. When it was time to leave, we flipped a coin to see who would have to drive back to the condo. Mike was the unfortunate loser, which was good because he didn’t seem to be drunk. The next morning, I woke first, searched for the car keys, finally found them under Mike’s stinky socks, and then drove into town to buy some cases of Pacifico, a local beer. When I got back to the condo, it was packed with people, and they were all strangers. Hayden had invited the neighbors from down stairs, who were almost all Norweigen girls. A couple of them had their boy­ friends. It was quite the crowd, and the cases of beer I bought earlier were gone by the noon. Then when the alcohol was gone, everyone felt we should go horseback-riding, many of them did. Others went into to town to barter, and one of the girls and I rented quads instead of horses. I felt sorry for the skinny horses they rent to tourists. It was almost five when we all reconvened at the condo. A group of us were going to go on a short drive south to a small town, Puerto Nuevo, where a .restau­ rant I know has the best lobster in the world. I have been going to this restaurant for about 17 years. It is called Puerto Nuevo 1. It is not the fanciest restaurant, but it is the absolute best. I have eaten lobster from other places in town, but none compare. There is usually a line of guests wait­ ing to be seated, but I get spe­ cial treatment. While we were in town, I treated all of us to a “coco loco.” It is very pow­ erful drink packed with about six different liquors and coconut milk served in a coconut with some decorative straw. They taste great, and by the end of your first one, you start to feel the buzz. I had about four. Man, I was feel­ ing good. “Knock, Knock,” Chivito answered the door; it was the girls from Hus­ sons. They were all dressed to impress and ready for a night out at Papas and Beer, a restau­ rant and club in the main part of Rosarito. The guys and me where dressed much more casu­ ally. Mike was wearing jeans and black T-shirt, Chivito was wear­ ing a Hawaiian shirt and board shorts. Hayden looked the best and was wearing black pants and a nice dress shirt. Twas wearing faded jeans, a black tank top, and my black Chuck Taylors. We all went as a group; it was me and guys, the girls from down stairs and the flight attendants. Although, I’d like to think, I was escorting the girl who I spent the afternoon with. It was a fun night of dancing, drinking, and debauchery. The next day every one did their own things. I spent the day with friends watching television, drinking and talking about how stupid we were for forgetting our surfboards. We ate some fish tacos, tampered with fireworks and bought souvenirs for our moms. Now it was dark again and time for another night at Papas and Beer. We invited the girls to come with us again. They agreed but were first going to check out a different place. So, we took off. There was a longer line this time at Papas and Beer, and we waited impatiently. Once inside it was booming. The Coronas and XXs, other Mexican beers, were flow­ ing. The girls arrived about an hour later, which was very cool. Then it happened. This idiot drunk bumped into me. I ignored him, but he felt that I bumped into him. He decided to make some stupid remark and push me. Big mistake, especially when I fwas only trying to have fun. Next thing I remember, he is on the ground, and I am in the arms of a security guard being carried out­ side where a police car is wait­ ing. The police find my flask, take it and put me in the squad car. Now, I’m in this cop car with no back seat and sitting next to a couple of local boys who are trying to scare me with horrible stories of what happens to grin­ gos in jail. But it didn’t bother or frighten me because I had been in the Rosarito jail the year before. * I would have had to spend only about an hour in jail, but since my friends did riot show up and we were staying so far out of town, I had to spend the night. I sat on the concrete next to all the other spring breakers arrested for peeing in the streets, fighting, or possession of drugs. Finally, at dawn, my buddies arrived to pick me up, and they all had a bunch stories to tell me. When we got back to the condo, we slept for a few hours. I spent the rest of the day with the girl from Norway. It was our last day in Mexico, so we all said our good byes and headed for that long wait at the border crossing.

Pride Staff Writer Road rage escalates to cata­ strophic levels in Paramount Pic­ ture’s suspense thriller, Changing Lanes. The film directed by Roger Michell, starring Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson, opened in theaters Friday The story takes place in modern day New York City, where two strangers Gavin Banek (played by Affleck), and Doyle Gibson (played by Jackson) have a fender bender. Coincidentally, both men are in route to the court hearings of their lives. Banek, a powerful Wall Street lawyer, is to present the legal signatures needed, by his partners, to usurp the power of their billion-dollar law firm. Gibson, an insurance broker and recovering alcoholic, is on his way to his final child custody hearing and intends to try and convince his ex-wife to remain in New York with their two sons. Banek and Gibson begin to exchange insurance information. Banek is pressed for time and offers to buy his way out of the ordeal, but Gibson is trying to straighten out his life andwantsto do things “the right way.” Frus­ trated and late, Banek abandons the scene. He leaves Gibson stranded, and says, “Better luck next time.” What Banek doesn’t realize is that he accidentally leaves his legal documents at the scene of the accident. Gibson, who has an anger management issue, is late for his court hearing. Neither his ex-wife nor the judge is willing to accept, yet another excuse from Gibson. Gibson blames Banek for ruining his plans, and, at the same time, Banek is faced with the enormous pressure of having to produce his lost documents. The feud over the files escalates viciously through­ out the course of the day with grave costs to both men. The primary theme of the movie is conflict. On the sur­ face, Changing Lanes is an urban battle between two uncompro­ mising men. Beyond the obvi­ ous, the movie is addressing the internal conflicts of human nature. Gibson’s moral dilemma comes with accepting, even in sobriety, that his personality remains tainted with anger and instability, and Banek is forced to toil between the reality of selfinterest and the idealism of the legal system. Changing Lanes is solidified through the believable acting of the supporting cast. William Hurt-The Alcoholics Anon­ ymous Sponsor, Sydney Pollack-Banek’s father in-law, and Toni Collette- Michelle, Banek’s girlfriend, each delivered noteworthy performances. Brad­ ley Cooper, Jennifer Dundas, Ileen Getz, apd Kim Staunton also contribute with lesser roles. For promotion of the movie’s debut, Jackson participated in an open chat forum on MSN. Over the course of an hour, Jackson fielded questions from fans and critics, worldwide. When asked to describe Changing Lanes using only one word Jackson responded, “Intense.” Given a few more words, I would add thought provoking and frighten­ ingly believable. When asked what he hoped people would get out of Chang­ ing Lanes, Jackson said, “There’s a moral dilemma that both these people have to deal with and take responsibility. I think it’s great we’ve done a film that will send people out of the theater and into a coffee shop to talk about it. It ought to touch on some interestjngjissues and hopefullv it will done without the religious ico­ nography. Throughout the movie, Banek and Gibson show signs of remorse and question their own morality. These moments come, too obviously, under the guiding light of the Roman Cath­ olic Church. Gibson’s repentance comes in a scene where he makes peace with his ex-wife. In the empty house, where the conver­ sation takes place, hangs a sole picture of the Virgin Mary. Simi­ larly, Banek, distraught from the events of the day, stumbles into a church confessional. The moral­ ity problems presented in the film are earthlv, but the solutions R EV IEW Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM inspire conversations between people.” Where there is conflict, there is generally resolution or, in this case, redemption. I loved the movie, yet, I could have offered are supernatural or religious. In other words, real problems, yes, one religion presented as the solution, no thanks, The movie is rated R by the MPAA, for language.' Big Action in Small Town Jacumba By JAMES J.

The town is so small that you would most likely not notice it as you drive by on the freeway. Nonetheless, at night, you can see the dim lights glim­ mering off in the distance. Only about 400 people reside in the town of Jacumba, but back in the “roar­ ing twenties” and 1930s, Jacumba was a hopping town. Jacumba’s natural hot springs attracted many visitors and were a major magnet for Hollywood c e le ri­ ties. The city thrived with affluent people, but today it’s just a little town. The town is comprised of nothing but a small strip of road with old buildings on both sides. On a sunny day, you might see a tumble­ weed somersault across the road. Jacumba makes you feel like you are in some old ghetti Western.” My buddy, Mike, temporally lives out there and works as a floor-supervisor at 5 / k ta i1 ii the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo. I visited the casino while I was in town. This modern casino is not as popular as Pala or Viejas but offers plenty of activi­ ties. There’s great food, impressive prizes, beer & liquor and whole lot more. There are over 750 slots and plenty of Black Jack, poker and other game tables.There is also a 24-hour restaurant and gas sta­ tion where you can buy some goodies for the long road trip home. And for truckers, they provide a truck center and Trucker’s lounge. 92064 My mission this time at the casino was to win big.

I never play the mini­ mum $5 or $10 bet because if I want to win big, I must be willing to lose big. Finally, like a hawk, I honed my eye on a table. The dealer looked at me as I approached his podium. He looked intim­ idated, not knowing what to expect. The table was empty. It was a $10 minimum bet table, but I was not about to bet so little. I threw down an $100 chip. First hand, bang, I lost. I dropped 2 more chips ($200) immediately on the table, bang; I lost again. I lost over $1,000 in the first fifteen minutes. No big thing, bang; that’s Black Jack. On one hand, I won back $500. I won the next three hands, doubling and then tripling my cash flow. After a few more hands, the pit boss switched dealers. A crowd formed around me; I was winning big and occasionally losing some too. I battled different dealer after dealer, winning. Now I was up a couple thousand dollars and was dealt two face cards. I split the two hoping to hit double Black Jack. I didn’t; I busted on both hands. I ended up losing almost two grand on that one hand. It was OK though; it’s all worth the adrenaline. I walked over to bar and had me a scotch on the rocks. “Hmmm-ah,” it tasted good, and I paid for it with the little winnings I had left. To win at any casino, you have to be willing to lose, but don’t worry about any money lost because no matter what the result, win or lose, you will have a good time. Directions to Jacumba - Take the 1-8 east, exit on Crestwood, then turn right on Old U.S. Highway 80 south.

Not only do people choose to smoke on the stairs, but they choose to block them by sitting down on the bottom stair, allowing for barely enough space for one person to slide by. Is there a need to force nonsmokers and smokers alike to share in your filthy habit? Why is it people smoke in the most absurd places - like right in front in the Stairwell of the entrance to a restaurant or in a busy stairwell? Is it that hard to walk the extra feet and smoke in the open areas of the campus to, at least, pretend you have courtesy for those around you? The most amusing thing I find about the smokers on the third floor is that there are big white signs that say in red writ­ ing, “Please Do Not Toss Cig­ arette Butts on Roof.” From experience, I’ve learned that money is not spent on signs unless there is a recurring behav­ ior that needs to be stopped. Is it possible that some smokers can be so ignorant they just tofe a cigarette butt on a roof instead of putting it in the garbage can they are standing next to? I think that it is rude and should be stopped. I know that in northern Califor­ nia many establishments enforce a rule that stipulates people must be a certain number of feet away from the entrance of a building before lighting up. Does there need to be a rule for people to wake up and realize that not everyone wants to inhale their second-hand smoke as they try to walk to and from classes? I surely hope that college-edu­ cated citizens know the rules of etiquette that we as a society adhere to. But maybe I’m wrong, and we should insert an etiquette class in the schedule. Does the Sun Damage Driving Brain Cells? By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer I have witnessed many differ­ ent styles of terrible driving, but I would have to give southern Cal­ ifornia the award for “The Most Ignorant Drivers.” I’ve driven on the East Coast, which is, stereotypically, the home of the worst drivers in the world, but they don’t hold a token to those who drive on roads from “The 78” down through San Diego. My first instance of igno­ rance was in late February when the rain hit. I have come to the conclusion that all the driving brain cells leave rwhen rain hits southern California. On this par­ ticular day, I sat on “The 15” for two and a half hours, only moving from Valley Parkway to Carmel Mountain Road, which is normally at the most a fifteenminute drive. But that wasn’t the most shocking portion of the wait. While sitting in what looked like a parking lot, I had my first experience with intense southern California road rage. I looked into my rear view mirror and witnessed a “trucker” get out of his semi-truck, walk over to a man in a small Nissan pickup, who obviously was trying to merge into the lane against the will of die “trucker,” open the door of the Nissan, drag the driver out onto the freeway, and proceed to slug him with all of his road-rage-filled-fists. Then, as though it were a normal part of his daily activities, he walked back to his truck and merged into a different lane. Those types of things don’t happen where I’m from, and I don’t think they happen anywhere else in the United States. If that were to happen where I’m from, you’d probably get shot. My second experience with local road rage was on Thurs­ day. I was leaving school, enter­ ing Highway 78-East from Twin Oaks Boulevard. Since it was 4:25 p.m., there was barely any movement. When I merged onto the freeway, I attempted to merge over one more lane. There were at least two car lengths of room, so I went for it. Immediately after I put my blinker on, a person driving a red truck that I was trying to get in front of stepped on the gas and tried to block me from merging. Since I was already over and still had enough room (even with the jerk-action of the driver), I continued to merge. This woman proceeded to give me the finger, yelling at the top of her lungs, cursing at me and literally making her car swerve back and forth. Then after she vented, obviously disap­ pointed with the lack of response from me, she sped into the lane to the left of me, speeding up to come beside me. She then con­ tinued to yell at me, using her very articulate four-letter words, and swerved in front of me to prove a point, almost losing con­ trol of her truck and almost hit­ ting the cars beside her and in front of her while continuing to give me the finger. I never thought that I would say this, but I think that Los Angeles drivers are better than their southern partners in the San Diego area. At least they have some sort of consistency in their idiocy. Be it rain, sun, traffic, parking, on the freeway or right here on campus, I have to say, “Congratulations San Diego, you are the United States Most Igno­ rant Drivers.” Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9-11? By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, when a clearer picture of the perpetra­ tors and their motives began to emerge, Muslim-Americans were thrust into the national spotlight to defend themselves and their beliefs. Across the country, Muslim leaders and activists were quick to condemn the events with a shared media mantra that characterized Osama bin Laden and his cohorts as extremists, unrepresentative of their peaceful Islamic beliefs. With the exception of some unfortunate hate crimes since the attack, we have for the most part, taken them for their word and moved on. Now the focal point of terror­ ism has moved from New York City to Israel. And again, many Muslims in this country have voiced their opinion on the situ­ ation, although with a bit more fervor than 9-11. And from what I can tell, there seems to be an almost unanimous solidarity with their Palestinian brethren in how they view the Middle East crisis. Suicide bombers or ‘free­ dom fighters,’ as they’re being called by many, are continu­ ously defended with rationaliza­ tions and justifications for their actions, subtly in American pub­ lications and programs, but bla­ tantly in many and most Arab and Muslim-American newspa­ pers and websites. I don’t want to imply that anyone who empa­ thizes with the Palestinian cause favors terrorist tactics, but News­ week recently reported 80 per­ cent of Palestinians approve of suicide attacks. It would be hard to imagine such a view limited only to the region. Both in the media and in my own personal experience, Muslim-Americans tend to implicate the Israelis as the real terrorists and see the defenseless Palestinians as merely fighting back the only Way they can. Upon examination of such a belief, the first thing that comes to mind is how it completely contradicts the Mus­ lim-American denouncement of the terrorist attacks on Amer­ ica. An inconsistency that should lead some to wonder if we were had and were merely told what we wanted to hear by much of the Muslim community. Let’s assume for a moment that the suicide attacks against Israeli citizens are somehow jus­ tified. Israel is systematically killing innocent Palestinians with their military and its advanced weaponry, while the Palestinians use their only weapon - themselves - to deliver eye for eye retaliation. The United States has sent and con­ tinues to send billions of dollars in aid to help Israel pay for the tanks rolling into the West Bank. This is the type of financial support that has ‘mainstream’ Muslim and Arab news outlets, both here and abroad, citing the United States as an accomplice to Israel in the death and destruc­ tion. And if the United States and Israel are in this together, then this country is a viable target; a point of view shared by the terrorists on 9-11. If the ene­ my’s motive and the results of a suicide attack are all the same, then, is it not valid to question whether many Muslim-Ameri­ cans are being disingenuous by frowning on one and then excus­ ing another? If the true feelings of many people in this country about 9-11 are hidden behind a politically or patriotically correct faQade, then President Bush’s “with us or against us” statement should have been domestically directed. And the future of terrorism in the US may be seen through the eyes of an Israeli because if they are fair game, then so are we. It's Just a Matter of Perspective... Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor When our weary world was young, the struggle of the Ancients first began. The Gods of Love and Reason sought alone to ule the fate of Man. They battled through the ages, but still neither force would yield. Their people were divided; every soul a battlefield... They say there are strangers, who threaten us in our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness, too dangerous in our theatres and bookstore shelves. Those who know what's best for us - must rise and save us, from ourselves. Quick to judge. Quick to anger. Slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand. A tired mind become a shape-shifter. Everybody need a soft filter. Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings about the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm. These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me, just one more who's searching for the world that ought to be. The more that things change, the more they stay the same. I have memory and awareness, but I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am, dead yet unborn.

Written by Neil Peart for Rush �New Security Measures Cause Disappointment with Spring Break Travels By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor Have you been through an airport recently? Chances are, since many of us just got back from spring break, many of you have. Hopefully your experiences were better than mine. Not to say that my travels over break were all bad, but I definitely have a question as to whether or not the over 6 billion dollars allo­ cated for airport security mea­ sures, which will continue to be funneled into airports, is doing anything to protect us. Traveling through Los Ange­ les International Airport was a breeze. Airport personnel were very well organized, and their new security systems looked like something out of a Star Trek movie. Laptop computers have to be taken out and screened sepa­ rately, but there were many (even friendly) people standing in front of the security machines, inform­ ing passengers of the new pro­ cedures^ You wouldn’t believe how many people travel with lap­ tops. I expected to be one of a select few, but almost everyone I saw pulled a laptop out of their carry-on bags, at least at LAX. Even at that, it only took me about 45 minutes to get through security and to arrive at my gate, despite having my two-year-old in tow. I felt safe; the National Guard was everywhere, armed to the hilt with fully automatic rifles as well as their personal side arms. I had a layover in Kansas City, which compared to LAX is a very small airport, but they had their share of National Guard mem­ bers, and their baggage screening, though not as sophisticated, was thorough. Between the stroller, the diaper bag, my briefcase, and my little girl, I had a lot to drag around, and the food court was at the far end of the terminal. Even with my military ID, they wouldn’t let me leave anything (even the diaper bag) at the gate sp we could go get something to eat more easily. I actually appre­ ciated their adherence to guide­ lines, however inconvenient for me, because once again, I #felt safe. I reached my destination fairly happy with the new secu­ rity measures. My trip home was a different story. Chicago’s Midway airport was comparable to LAX - they had sophisticated systems, and despite the hoards of passengers, the now infamous Argenbright security personnel were helpful and friendly. Problems were non­ existent until the plane for my flight arrived late due to bad weather at its originating air­ port. We boarded late, and there were seven or eight standby pas­ sengers on their way to Mexico. None of the flight attendants spoke Spanish and the passen­ gers’ English wasn’t great. No one could get them to sit down so we could leave. (Why, oh why, didn’t I learn Spanish instead of French?) We eventually took off just twenty minutes late, but I still missed my connection in H A V E A N OPINION OR A C OMIC S TRIP???

No one bothered to tell the pilot that more passengers were on the way. Bad communication. We were stuck. There was a woman who had a connection to Singapore from LAX. She was really stuck. The next flight wasn’t until the next morning. Everything went downhill •from this point. The airport staff was rude, unhelpful, inconsider­ ate, and completely unaccommo­ dating from the moment we were at their mercy. “No, you don’t have to stay in a hotel, you are welcome to stay here in the terminal [for the next twelve hours with a two year old] until your next flight leaves,” was the standard line I was given by five or six different people. Apparently, several dozen people missed flights that night because of bad weather at other airports across the country. In Denver, it’s usually local weather that keeps passengers behind, but not this time. With all the delays, hotels around the airport booked up very quickly, but, at least, they gave us a “distressed passenger” rate. I couldn’t believe this hap­ pens so often that they have a name for it. After a four hour nap at a hotel 25 minutes from the airport (nothing is close to the terminals in Denver) we found ourselves back at the airport the next morn­ ing. The airline wouldn’t store our luggage for us the night before, so we had to take it all the way to the hotel, bring it all back again the next morning, and stand in line to check it once again. We got to the airport two and an half-hours before our flight was scheduled to leave; we still almost missed it. The security procedures were a mess. The line to check baggage took over half an hour, the secondary security check took another twenty min­ utes, and the main security check to get into the terminal took an hour. I would have been completely understanding if the staff had at least been nice. I actually had a nasty airline employee tell me that I missed my flight the night before because of my attitude right after I apologized for being impatient with her. I was stressed, exhausted, and dragging along an extremely cranky two-yearold. The most distressing part of my trip was realizing that the secondary security checks are STILL not conducted randomly. One out of every ten tickets is flagged, and that passenger is checked thoroughly at every single checkpoint - baggage check, main security, and board­ ing - at every single airport. It was such a joke. My ticket was flagged, so I had to completely empty all of my bags, take off my shoes and be frisked by security eleven times on my trip. My military ID meant nothing. I knew from the first moment I checked in at LAX that this was going to happen to me. Everyone else went through the same old relaxed procedures that airlines have been conduct­ ing for years. Likewise, anyone who wasn’t told at check-in that they were subject to secondary security could count on not being searched for the remainder of their trip. Does this make sense? If I know that I’m subject to secondary search at every stop, even if I had something illegal, I would sure as heck get rid of it before I got to the checkpoint. And if I were a bad person who wanted to hurt people, I could wait until after I had checked my bags to find out if I was going to be searched. Untagged pas­ sengers never opened their bags, never got frisked and never took off their shoes. I know that the FAA is trying to avoid charges of racial pro­ filing, but this was ridiculous. Maybe every tenth passenger in line for boarding should be searched? That could be over­ come too. Should everyone go through the same security measures that I did? That would be better than the way it is now. I would be will­ ing to wait in line for that. The way it is now, several people, of multiple ethnic backgrounds and looking far more suspicious than a young woman with a baby and a military ID, walked onto the plane without a second look. Those National Guard troops can’t do a heck of a lot once the plane is in the air. Daily Thoughts on... Senioritis By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer I think I have a case of senioritis. It’s already the elev­ enth week of school, and I feel as if all my motivation has either been sucked out of my system or it never caught up with me after spring break. As class deadlines draw closer, I am so swamped with group projects and papers. It’s as if all my professors forgot to go to that meeting to let each other know that they were sched­ uling an assignment for a partic­ ular day. My internship isn’t cooperat­ ing with me either. Have you ever felt that you wanted to do some­ thing for yourself? I thought by obtaining an internship it would help me gain more knowledge­ able about the field I am trying to enter or provide me more work experience. But at the facility, my title of “intern” has grown to mean faxing, getting the mail, and sitting at an isolated desk at the front of the building answer­ ing phones for three hours: Right, like I didn’t already know how to The P ride Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Arts Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell M artha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey A lyssa Finkelstein M elanie Addington Amy Bolaski A lyssa Finkelstein M adeleine Marshall All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos, Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board. do that.

Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical lit­ erature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be considered. Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions.

Clarke had previ­ ously assisted the athletic depart­ ment through other grants. She died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age of 83 and became the largest single donor to Cal State San Marcos, with gifts totally nearly $4 million. “The grant has not increased our budget, it only provides secu­ rity,” said Steve Scott, head track coach. The endowment’s pur­ pose is to support the scholar­ ships for student-athletes in the campus’ golf, cross-country and track programs. Nonetheless, only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil­ lions will be distributed each year, starting next fiscal year. If the percentage of the invest­ ment is more than 5 percent, the university foundation will invest theVest into the original princi­ pal’s amount. According to Scott, “The University Foundation handles all the money, the grant will be invested and due to certain guidelines and regulations, only 5 percent goes to the scholar­ ship program.” This means that approximately $130,000 will go to 40 track and field, 14 golf and 20 cross-country athletes. The CSUSM Foundation is a nonprofit, auxiliary organiza­ tion that aims to advance the goals of the university through commercial enterprises, busi­ ness services; the administra­ tion of grants and contracts, and financial management.

PUGH For The Pride On Monday, March 18, investigative journalist Greg Palast shared controversial infor­ mation concerning current polit­ ical scandals with a Cal State San Marcos audience, causing some students to leave, while others appeared mesmerized by the pile of confounding evidence and paper trails that he pre­ sented. The campus lecture began Palast’s three-day San Diego book tour. After introductions from CSUSM’s Democrat Club member, political science pro­ fessor Dr. Mike Byron and Congressman Bob Filner, Palast covered topics ranging from the fall and corruption of Enron to the skewed voting polls of Flor­ ida, which led to the “theft of the election,” according to Palast. He also made some bold statements about Bush and pos­ sible business ties with the bin Laden family. “These people are nice people ... we know because we’re business partners,” he said mimicking a »>A rticle cont. on pg. 11 One Student W alks Out on L iberal Speakers By Melanie Addington Arts Editor Journalist Greg Palast and Congressman Bob Filner Pride Photo/Melannie Addington Although one student walked out on Greg Palast, . investigative journalist, as he drew connections between President Bush and the Alqaeda network on Monday, March 18 at Cal State San Marcos, the rest of the audi­ ence, packed into ACD 102, stayed to listen to Palast dis­ cuss investigations into Enron, Bush, 9-11 and other “followthe-money” scandals. »A rticle cont. on pg. 11 �Free Issues of the New York Times BY JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer , Free issues of The New York Times and The San Diego Union Tribune will continue to be available at newsstands around campus until the last week of March. This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program brought to CSUSM by the Asso­ ciated Students, Inc (ASI). The program has been instated on a trial basis in order to ascertain how many students pick up and read the paper(s). “The decision to keep the program depends on funding. If we can partner up with other offices on campus - then the program will most likely stay. If ASI is solely responsible for the funding, then it depends on cost, etc,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs. The newspapers will be on newsstands in the Dome corri­ dor, in front of the library, in front of the ASI office (Com­ mons 203), on the second floor of University Hall and near the Newspaper Stands for the Pilot Pro­ gram.

The New York Times is known as “a newspaper of record,” said Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, a history profes­ sor at CSUSM. “Getting in the habit of reading The New York Times is good for stu­ dents, especially if they have access to it,” added Sepim wall. “The program appears to be showing signs of success, with empty racks at the end of the day,” said Brown. There has been no approximation of how long it will take after the pilot program is finished to establish when the perma­ nent program will be pro­ posed for approval. The cost, if approved, “depends on how many papers we go with, what papers we decide to distribute and how many per day. It’s hard to give an estimate at this time,” Brown said.

Pride Photos/James Newell New Library Has First Accident CFA Ratifies Contract By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer At approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. March 19, a column from the initial framework of the new library fell. No one was injured when the 85-foot-tall steel column fell, and the struc­ ture incurred only minor dam­ ages, including chipped concrete and broken wooden handrails. The 10-ton vertical column stands with anchor bolts and lev­ eling nuts to hold it in place. To install a horizontal beam, the crane supporting the column must let go of the vertical column to pick up the horizontal beam. When it was released, the ver­ tical beam let loose. According to Don Price, construction man­ ager, “The column just wasn’t secure enough.” The incident could have been extremely damaging. “If it had fallen in any other direction, it Library Under Construction. Pride Photo/James Newell potentially could have hit the crane or the retaining walls,” said Price. “[The incident] in no way damages the integrity of the building” One-half to two-thirds of the column is no longer usable and has been discarded. Visibly and structurally, the damaged column is much shorter than the rest, but construction continues. “This [incident] will in no way slow down construction,” said Price. The incident was reportedly due to subcontractor McMahon Steel’s technique of using only one crane to accomplish the job. “The technique the contractor was using isn’t allowed any­ more,” said Price, who guaran­ teed it will not happen again. The contractor must now use two cranes. “If you look, there are now two cranes. One crane hold­ ing the column, and one crane installing the beam,” he added. Although the incident hasn’t slowed down construction, it was costly. The damage done will cost approximately $20,000. “[McMahon] has to pay all the losses. It’s not coming out of the taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said. For now, the construction team will install the horizontal beams on the second and third floors, waiting approximately another month until the broken column can be spliced. Accord­ ing to Price, “A field splice is very common and easy to do.” After the splice is done, the team will be able to complete the framework of the fourth and fifth floors as well as the roof. “On a positive note, the library should be finished by summer 2003, and we broke ground for the Clark Field House today, [March 20],” said Price, reiterating that one such inci­ dent will not stop the growth of CSUSM. cess in bargaining to activism »>Article cont. from pg. 1 “This contract ratification of faculty across the system. vote demonstrates the intense The Teach-Ins, demonstrations at interest on the part of CFA CSU Board of Trustees’ meeting membership and how strongly and other events which involved they feel about the need for a Charles Reed (CSU Chancellor) change in direction on the part of were a major factor in strengththe CSU Administration,” said ening our bargaining position,” Susan Meisenhelder, CFA presi­ said Diehr. dent. “The trend toward increas­ Mary Elizabeth Stivers, a ing administrative spending and member of the bargaining team decreasing instructional spend­ on the CSU side and associate ing is one that threatens the “ TheCFA will continue to pursue quality of edu­ the objective o f reducing the ratio cation at the CSU.” o f students to tenure-track faculty, a A salary ratio that has grown front about 25 to gap of 10.6 per­ 1 to 30 to 1 over the past cent between CSU faculty -George Diehr and faculty at " compar abl e vice president for Academic institutions around the nation Affairs, said, “I’m glad that it was confirmed in last month’s (the negotiations) is resolved, California Postsecondary Educa­ and we will begin to implement tion Commission’s annual com­ the changes.” pensation report.

The five attacks all happened near the campus. Two of the attacks happened at the same apartment complex on Montezuma Rd. The third hap­ pened down the street on Mon­ tezuma road, the fourth on 55th Street, and the fifth in a grocery store on El Cajon Boulevard. All five women, 20 years old, are not connected or related in any way. According to Marc Fox, Crime Prevention Specialist at SDSU, “They’re isolated inci­ dents, completely random and offcampus.” According to Detective Ron Newquist, of the San Diego Police Department, “The man followed the women home and entered shortly after they did, through an unlocked door, in three of the incidents.” The man does not rape the women, instead he commits what’s called sexual battery. The man comes from behind and grabs the crotch and the breasts of the women through their clothes. All five women began scream­ ing and pushing him away, which startled the man and made him flee. According to Fox, “The con­ cept is to increase awareness. We are trying to increase the use of more safety precautions. Common sense things, like walk­ ing in groups and making sure that all doors and windows are locked.” Fox also said that they’ve increased the patrol around the campus with both undercover and uniformed police. Fox, a propo­ nent of R.A.D. (a self defense course against rape, solely for women) said, “People are picked on their perception of vulnerabil­ ity. Sometimes a woman who appears confident and aware of her surroundings avoids a poten­ tial attack without even knowing it.” “The media has depicted one guy. But he isn’t it. We have two other suspects pending computer [confirmation],” said Newquist on the progress of the case. The perpetrator has been described as a black male between the ages of 17-22,5’6-5’8 ,140-170 lbs., short hair, round face, flat nose, clean­ shaven and wears baggy clothes. If you see anyone matching this description you should call the San Diego Police Department’s 24-hour line (619) 531-2000. CSUSM is a relatively safe campus, with no sexual attacks recorded to date. . When asked about the precautions and strat­ egies that the university police would take if a sexual predator came to CSUSM, Chief Tom Schultheis of the CSUSM uni­ versity police said, “This would be considered a serious situation and we would make it a numberone priority.” “The first thing that I would do would be to recommend that all our women students look into the R.A.D. program. It’s a class that allows women to be self-empowered. Second we would work with the Sheriffs Department and do everything that would ultimately lead to an arrest,” said Schultheis. One thing that was suggested by both Fox and Schultheis was that all female students be more aware of their surroundings when alone.

The cafe opened with four employees on Dec. 1,1997. While DuBois had originally intended to serve only coffee and pas­ tries, he had so many requests for sandwiches that the cafe began serving food within the first month, and began catering not long after. “As a favor, we catered a Chamber of Commerce event that President Gonzalez was at, and he inquired about catering. At the time, the business was really taking a turn toward catering,” DuBois said. The cafe has since catered many of the events at CSUSM, and will continue to do so.

A survivor’s attitude toward his/her body may be negatively affected. This change may lead to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse, overeating, self-mutilation, etc.) The survivor may find it diffi­ cult to trust and to be intimate with others. She/he may not want sexual intimacy for some time or may engage in risky sexual behaviors. Common Phases: Survivors often go through three general phases. (The phases do not always occur in the order listed below.) Phase One: This phase may last a few days to several weeks. The survivor may experience .shock and severe distress, con­ fusion, disorientation, anger, and rage. Phase Two: The survivor often wishes to forget the inci­ dent and return to “normal.” It is common to want to suppress feel­ ings in order to forget about the incident and regain control. How­ ever, the crisis is not resolved. Phase Three: The survivor is ready to begin to deal with the feelings associated with the assault/abuse. This phase usually involves re-experiencing feelings, thoughts, and memories of the assault/abuse. This healing pro­ cess may vary in duration. * Throughout all three phases, survivors need supportive people (friends, family, loved ones.) A survivor support group and/or a counselor can also be of help. How to help a survivor of sexual assault/abuse — “Sometimes I hear my voice and ifs been here, silent all these years.7 -iori Amos. * Talk, listen, respect and be emotionally available to the sur­ vivor. Accept what the survivor tells you. Accept the fact that the assault/abuse happened. Under­ stand that it is not the survivor’s fault. Do not blame the survivor. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted or abused, even when you feel poor judgments were made by the survivor. Do not blame yourself either. The only person who is at fault is the person who committed the crime. Suggest options and actions (medical, psychological and other assistance), but let the survivor decide what action to take. Let the survivor talk about the inci­ dent, but don’t force a discus­ sion. Respect and understand that temporarily the survivor may become distant from loved ones. Assure the survivor that you will be available to provide support throughout the process of recov­ ery. Give the survivor time to heal. Moderate your natural ten­ dencies to become overprotective. The survivor may need to seek medical attention immedi­ ately. You can help by encour­ aging and accompanying the survivor to obtain medical atten­ tion. If the survivor wishes to seek criminal action, this should be done as soon as possible.

In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti­ mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent). Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person. Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care, whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime receivedpost-rape medical care. It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police. Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during a date. Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col­ lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus. In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe­ trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was involved at the time of the incident. Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not family or school officials. Copyright 2002 National Center for Victims of Crime . WashingtQn, DC �RAD Class: No Men are-A llowed By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer “You are a resource to every woman you know,” said Officer Mario Samz. head instructor of the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) program, in closing at the last of the four three-hour training classes for Basic Rape Aggression Defense. One major fear many women hold is that of being raped. It’s a realistic fear, since a national statistic holds that one out of every four college women will be sexually assaulted during her four years i n college. One way that colleges around the world are trying to lower those odds is through Basic R.A.D. Basic R.A.D was designed specifically for women, to show them not only how to defend themselves if they are attacked, but also to show them how to prevent being raped. In 12 hours, a deceivingly short amount of time, participants are able to learn about how to become more aware of surroundings, the do’s and don’ts of surviving an attack, and of course, defense techniques. I recently graduated from the Basic R.A.D. course here on campus. During the beginning of the course, Barbara Sainz, the wife of Officer Sainz as well as a certified instructor of R.A.D., asked us about our expectations of the class to ensure that we were being realistic. Many just wanted to feel more secure as a woman, be it because they worked odd hours, lived in a shady neigh­ borhood, or just wanted to be a more confident and self-reliant woman. At the end of the course we reviewed what we had said to see if we reached our goals, and I must say that not only did we succeeded at doing so, but we went above and beyond our expectations. One thing stressed through­ out the course was that no men could be involved in our train­ ing, with the exception of our male instructors. We could not practice with a male, and males were unable to attend any of the four sessions. “Unfortunately, it is your boyfriend, husband or even your friend that you might one day have to defend yourself against,” said Sainz. R.A.D. Class. Pride Photo The course was not only fun, but truly effective. The tech­ niques we were taught are func­ tional and for the most part easy to do. The key to the course is prac­ tice - practicing the techniques as well as practicing saying no. As fun as it was, we were still able to take away much more than any of us expected. “We’re not sup­ posed to be tough. It’s good to know I can defend myself ... I learned much more than I thought I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy, a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware of everything now,” said Tracey Veres, a freshman at CSUSM. The final class meeting is a simulation. “You will be able to practice everything you learn. If you freeze this is the place to do it, so we can coach you through it and hopefully prevent you from freezing if a situation were to really occur,” said Sainz. During the simulation, the two instruc­ tors, Officer Mario Sainz and Officer Marlin Estepa, as well as retired Officer John Smithers, an instructor of instructors of R.A.D., all suited up and simu­ lated attacking;us so we could practice what we learned. Bar­ bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith­ ers, both certified instructors, made sure that the scenarios were safe and that we were using the techniques practiced to our full advantage. At least half of the class was so excited about their end results that they want to be able to teach women the art of R.A.D. by becoming R.A.D. instructors. These women also spoke of form­ ing a club that would enable them to continue practicing together and promote the awareness of sexual assault to other women on campus. “We could post flyers and have a booth like all the other clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior at CSUSM. “We could try to hold sessions to educate people, try to convince other women to take R.A.D. and practice ” said Nowothy. R.A.D. is held at least three times a year on the CSUSM campus. “We try to hold as many as possible, but space is limited,” said Sainz. The fee to attend the Basic R.A.D. course is only $20 and for this cost, any woman at any age is able to attend as many times as they’d like, with no limitation on visits. During the summer, an advanced course will be offered, which enhances basic skills and teaches participants how to handle certain weapons. According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM who took the course, “Previous to R.A.D, I thought of myself as a woman who carried herself with confidence and could react in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself with confidence and can react well in a threatening situation. It confirms your ability to defend yourself; and anyone who takes it has the tools to never be a victim.” CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) attended the California Higher Edu­ cation Student Summit’s annual confer­ ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby against student tuition* fee increases and to support the Facilities Bond Measure. The forum, held this year in Sacramento, was open to all California State Univer­ sity (CSU) student representatives. The attendees participated in leadership work­ shops, listened to guest speakers and vis­ ited with legislators who represent the San Diego area. ASI members were informed during the conference that the budget deficit Cal­ ifornia faces “will require many [educa­ tional] programs across the state to be cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord­ ing to the California State Student Asso­ ciation (CSSA) press release. During their visits with members of several legislative offices, ASI members strongly urged those in power not to increase student fees. “If tuition fees are increased, this will decrease accessibility and affordability for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs, who attended the conference. . A similar situation occurred in the early 1990s, during the last budget crisis, and, according to the CSSA press release, fees for the CSU “skyrocketed and many students were forced to delay or cancel tina’s deli 760 D.

ASI created a letter-writing campaign and sent each California senator a letter, urging the protection of school budgets, noting the adverse affect California stu­ dents sustained in the early 1990s because of budget cuts. According to the ASI letter, “It is a known fact that a budget cut of any percentage would jeopardize the education of the CSU’s 380,000 currently enrolled students.” The tuition increase has not been pro­ posed, nor is it known if and when it will be. “If legislators are committed to improving California, we can hope that they would try to increase, not decrease, education spending,” said Erik Roper, a member of ASI’s External Affairs Com­ mittee, who attended the conference. The other issue ASI lobbied for was the Higher Education Facilities Bond Mea­ sure. This bond was proposed to provide funds for the improvement of CSU cam­ puses. This multi-year bond will “enable the CSU to fund projects on a lump-sum basis, which will allow campuses to map out the planning, design and construction phases of a project all at one time,” accord­ ing to a CSSA press release. “We can continue to grow if we make higher education a priority, espe­ cially with the current construction taking place on campus,” Roper said.

Keating and Clark plan to shoot the movie for the big screen this summer. Along with her Navajo friend Dolores Brown, Keating has been working on “Spider Woman” for a few years now. “For a long time I’ve thought to do a story about Navajo women, because the women that I’ve worked with in Thoreau (New Mexico) were just so impressive.” Keating, who has written many stage plays, explained that the motivation for writing a screenplay was based on the simple fact that, ‘‘you really can’t separate Navajo cul­ ture from the land. They go together really intimately.” Growing up in a 100-percent white suburb of Sacramento in the 1950s, Keating felt an early urge to explore cultural diversity. Her intense interest in Native Ameri­ can culture emerged throughout her three years of volunteer work on an Indian mission in central Washington. Not only did she find passion for her work, but also for her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu­ cation teacher at CSUSM. Their romance soon resulted in mar­ riage, and together they decided to change setting and follow their friends to America’s big­ gest Indian reservation in New Mexico to teach at a Navajo High School. For 22 years they lived and worked on the reservation in a little town named Thoreau. The fictional story “Spider Woman,” which is set in the same New Mexican location in which Keating used tp work and live, is centered around three gener­ ations of women in a Navajo family, although, according to Keating, “there are lots of guys in it, too.” The main character is a young woman in her twen­ ties, who was adopted by a white family when she was a baby, and who later decides to go back to her roots and find her Navajo family. The storyline is reflected in the title of the screenplay: “Spider Woman.” According to Navajo mythology, Keating explained, there is a very powerful entity called spider woman, who lives on spider rock in Arizona. She is part of the Navajo creation story, in which she helps two lost broth­ ers find their father. In Keating’s screenplay, it is the young Navajo woman who travels to Arizona in order to approach spider women for help to find her family. Keating proudly explained, “We’ve been dealing with a pro­ fessional producer who agreed to produce the movie a year and a half ago. He saw the script and really liked it.” Clark, whose tele­ vision and film credits include “A Man Called Hawk” and “The Court-Martial of Jackie Robin­ son,” has been inlhe business for 25 years. According to Keating, he got tired of the whole orga­ nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to go independent a few years ago. “We were just lucky enough to get our script to him at a point where he was looking for proj­ ects,” Keating said. Clark promoted the script among many friends in the media business, all of who agreed to be part of the project. At that point, Keating realized that her dream was about to become reality and that she needed to start raising some seed money. “In order to attach people to a project and do some other very basic preproduction and put together a business plan, you need some money!” Friends, family, co-workers and other teachers in the com­ munity were the initial investors, and so Keating was able to raise an initial $ 80,000, which covered the business plan and enabled her to sign director Charles Mills and a couple of actors. For Mills, who has been a cinematographer for many years in the entertainment industry, the screenplay “Spider Woman” will be his first directing job. Mills surely will be able to draw from his big-budget studio expe­ riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II and the independent film Boyz in the Hood, for which he received awards for cinematography. Keating said, “We haven’t cast any of the Navajo parts yet and, of course, that’s going to be the vast majority. But we have cast two of the supporting roles that are non-Navajo.” One of the more recognizable actors is Richard Grieco, who did a lot of television in the 80s, includ­ ing the hit-series “Booker” and “21 Jump Street.’’ Because of his recent work in many indepen­ dent movies, Grieco found fame and fortune in Europe. Although he is better known abroad than in the States, Keating explained, “One of the considerations we look for in putting together the business plan is to bring people on board that, when we go to sell the distribution rights for Europe and Japan and so on, there are names that those distributors rec­ ognize.” Another supporting role has been given to actor David Strathaim, who gained his work­ ing experience in dozens of movies and TV sedes, including the film L.A. Confidential. While Keating plans to begin shooting in New Mexico this summer, she and her production team are still faced with a lot of fundraising work in order to cover the movie’s costs. Keating explained, “the two things we are working on are a distribution deal and the financing. To actually finish pre-production, shoot the movie, do post-production and some marketing, we figure the budget for that is going to be $1.2 million.” She also emphasized the amazing location of the produc­ tion location. “The area we are going to shoot is just absolutely magnificent. It’s gorgeous!” Keating has confidence in “Spider Woman’s” success on the big screen: “We’ve got two name actors signed and all the other people in the business plan have resumes as long as your arm. They are just really experienced people.” CELEBRATE WITH A •Im m sd ia te H e a iJin tiliU I Insurance * Profit-sharing •Paid Vacation •Tuition Reimbursement •Outstanding 401k Savings MAIL BOXES ETC A UPS* Company MBE centers ere independently owned and operated franchises.

Well, how about Santa Barbara? I know what you’re thinking. Santa Barbara. Who wants to drive four hours each way? Well you don’t have to. You can take Amtrak for as little as $15 each way, which is relatively the same as gas, maybe even cheaper. Amtrak offers things that a car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil­ lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and your choice of many alcoholic beverages, as well as food. The train is a great substitute for driv­ ing to Santa Barbara for many reasons. One particular reason that jumps to my mind is LA traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not only LA traffic, but you also get great coastal views the whole way up, that may include views of dolphins and, at this time O f year, whales. The best way to get started on your weekend adventure is to plan if you’re going to stay for one or two nights. If you’re going to stay two nights, definitely try and leave as early as possible on Friday. If not, leave early Sat­ urday morning. Once yOu get to Santa Barbara the possibilities are endless. If you like beaches, I suggest that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across the street and go to Carpinteria State Beach. If you choose to do this, you will have about two to three hours to kill, which can be spent on the beach or walk­ ing around the little downtown. After that time, you can catch the later train and continue on your A downtown mall, art galleries and trendy clothing shops. If. that’s not your scene, check out out a matinee, that only costs $4.50, in the plaza with your student ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will turn into night, and this is when the real fun starts. Santa Barbara’s downtown goes off on Friday and Saturday nights. There are 18 bars and five clubs on State Street. No matter what your style, whether you like to get dressed up or not, State Street has something to BREAK? Santa Barbara has something for everyone. My idea is to get out of San Diego for the weekend and enjoy everything that the Califor­ nia Coast has to offer. The trains leave Solana Beach daily at four different times, any­ where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m. Solana Beach is the only Amtrak station in San Diego County that lets you leave your car for free for up to one week. All trains I k e take approximately five hours to reach Santa Barbara. For exact arrival and depar­ ture times, call 1-800-USARAIL. For cheap motels and hotels in Santa Barbara I suggest www.santabarbarahotels.com or www.sblocal.com. Or, you can always type in Cheap Motels & Hotels in any search engine’s keyword box. 4 -1 -{ When: Thursday, April 11,2002,11am - 3pm Where: Dome Plaza An Environmentally Themed Event Featuring: Santa Barabara State Street Photo Courtesy o f http://www.conciergesantabarbara.com/sb_tour.htm- way to Santa Barbara. The train lets you off right on State Street, which is the main street in downtown Santa Bar­ bara and where all the action is. State Street is 13 blocks long and offers artsy coffeehouses, sushi bars, dance clubs and lots of fun. Once on State Street, you have many options, including the offer everyone, from dive bars to trendy clubs such as Joe’s Cafe, Q’s, So Ho, Wildcat Lounge, Madison’s and Roy. The more upscale places have covers rang­ ing from $5-$10. The scene is pretty comparable to downtown San Diego, and if you want to go to the more trendy places you’re going to have to dress like it.

If so, you may be able to provide information pertinent to a class action law suit which has been filed against Legoland. The class action alleges that over the past couple of years, Legoland has sold “collector cups” with a beverage in them, for approximately $10.00. The suit also alleges that in most instances where these cups were sold, the purchaser was informed that as long as they kept the cup, they could return to Legoland for lifetime refills, at no additional cost. The suit further alleges that also in most instances, when the purchaser returned another day for a refill, the purchaser would be told that the refill policy was only good for one day. The action is brought on behalf of all purchasers of such cups who believe they were denied what Legoland is alleged to have promised when Legoland sold the cup.

Danny Elfman with Oingo Boingo �Surf Team ends First Regular Season JOY WHITMAN for The Pride The Cal State San Marcos’ Surf team competed in its last regular season event on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach. Key surf­ ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan McHenry, who earned 11 points. The team placed seventh overall with a total of 23 points. Despite a lingering cold, Dema- rino, the team’s bodyboarder, won his first heat and also claimed his first victory since his return to competition. He per­ formed well in following rounds and advanced to finals, earning third place overall in the College Bodyboarding Division. Fairbanks looked great in his first two rounds of the longboard competition and received two consecutive first places. In round three, Fairbanks just missed the transfer spot and did not advance to finals. McHenry performed well for the first two rounds but just could not get any open waves to help advance him to round three. Despite the absence of Captain Dave Kincannon, who has been out for the past two competi­ tions with a broken leg, and the absence of Julie Russell, who had prior commitments, the CSUSM team placed 8th overall in the regular season. S u rf Team A d v a n eem en t is c r e d ite d to G reat T alent JOY WHITMAN for The Pride Saint Patrick’s Day entailed drinking in more sun rays, waves and wins than alcohol for the Cal State San Marcos’ Surf Team. The State Championships for the NSSA College Team Season was held on March 17 at Churches Beach in San Clemente, located just north of the San Onofre power plant. It was .an exciting competition between rivals Sad­ dleback and Mira Costa Com­ munity Colleges, but two top seeds helped Saddleback clinch the title. Contributing to Saddleback’s success, Coach Mark Mackleroy replaced two members of his team with exceptional standouts who regularly compete for the Pro Surfing Tour of America (PSTA) between the regular and postseason. The first round was a little intimidating for CSUSM, since only seven of nine members were available to compete, but the team pulled through with the talent of those who did compete and placed 8th out of 18 teams, which was good enough to qual­ ify for nationals. For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks and Scott Chebagia each earned 12 points, but still missed advanc­ ing from the third round into the quarter finals. Bodyboarder George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter­ rific performances and advanced to finals, placing third and fourth, respectively. The CSUSM team earned a total of 48 points, which was not far from the fifth-place finisher UCSB Vector, who racked up 56 points overall. After placing in the top 12 in the State Championship, the surf team has earned a spot in the Nationals, which will be held over the summer in Dana Point and will see schools from across the country compete for the national title. With the predicted return of shortboarder Dave Kincan­ non and Julie Russel, competing in the girl’s round, the CSUSM team could easily tack on an additional 20 or more points, making fourth place at nationals a very reachable goal. Congratu­ lations, team, on a very success­ ful firstseason and keep up the good work. The Men’s G olf Team Finishes in Fourth Place CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor On March 19, the Golf team participated at the Diablo Grande Collegiate Golf Tournament in Pattersdn, California. The team finished in fourth place with a team score of 973 (325-334-314). The tournament was hosted by Drake University of Des Moines, Iowa, at the Diablo Grande Golf Course. The Ranch Course is an i8-hole, 72-par, 7,200-yard championship course. “It turned out to be a good tournament,” said Head Coach Fred Hanover. “It’s a really nice course, and I think the guys learned from the experience. These results will pay off at regionals,” The NAIA Western Regionals will take place April 21-23, with the location to be announced. Individual scores: Ryan Axlund, freshman shot a 239 (77-82-80), Nick Micheli, sophomore shot a 243 (79-82-82), freshmen Ryan Rancatore, shot a 244 (88-83-73), Kellen Wag­ oner, shot a 249 (81-87-81), and Jonathan Ochoa shot a 260 (93-87-80). W illiam s Hurdles into H istory at Cal State San M arcos By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer Freshman Jason E. Williams is proudly representing Cal State San Marcos as one of the best track and field hurdlers in the nation. Williams has recently competed in several meets, con­ tending with some of the top schools and competitors in the country. Williams placed third in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles at the Trojan Invitational at USC, with a time of 53.43 seconds. This mark qualified him for the National Association of Intercol­ legiate Athletics (NAlA) Nation­ als in Kansas this May. He my school,” said Williams. He maintains his exceptional marks by taking practice seriously and remaining “focused and always visualize running each race,” said Williams’ Not only does he . practice everyday with the track and field team, he also wakes up at six in the morning and “‘road runs’ (runs the streets),” said Williams. “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the best,” insisted Williams. The easily recognizable 6 -foot-5-inch twenty-year-old is majoring in communications and has maintained a 3.2 G.P.A. His mom is a vice-principal “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the -Jason Williams placed first in both the Benny Brown Invitational at Cal State Fullerton with a mark of 52.52 and at the San Diego State Uni­ versity Aztec Invitational with a 52.97. In the California/Nevada State Championship, Williams finished with a 52.10 mark, which placed him second. Williams has been invited to the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, which he is really looking for­ ward to. “All the top colleges and elite runners in the world will be there,” said Williams. Williams also faces the chal­ lenge of improving his times, because he does not always com­ pete with high-level competitors. At this point, CSUSM is not yet well known for its athletics. “The great thing about track is that it doesn’t matter what school you come from, as long as you put up a good time. People recognize me for my time, not and Williams was “raised in a family where grades and educa­ tion come first. I always have to find time for school. Sometimes, I miss practice to study for a test, but my coach knows I will make up for it,” said Williams. His coach Wes Williams (no relation) has. been an inspiration to him and is the major reason why he transferred from Colo­ rado State to run for the Cou­ gars. He received a scholarship at Colorado State, but for per­ sonal reasons and because of the cold weather, Williams decided to come to San Marcos to be trained by his new mentor, coach Williams. His ultimate goal is to at least make it to the Olym­ pic trials in 2004. At the tender age of 20, Williams is already changing the history of athletics at CSUSM as a track and field pioneer.

The university raised funds through events such as the annual golf tournament, annual Cougar Chase, and dona­ tions from boosters, known as the Cougar Club. “Mrs. Clarke’s gift will make a lasting difference in the lives of many young student athletes,” said Barbara Bashein, who serves as CSUSM’s athletic director and vice president for External Affairs. “Her generosity will enable them to earn college degrees.” Nonetheless, there are no plans for increasing the ath­ letic budget, and there are no plans for adding another inter­ collegiate sport.

They are not only returning, but have been with the team since it started ~ three years ago. “They make the team more like a team,” said Wil­ liams. The sprinters count with a great athlete from the Colorado State University, Jason Williams. Williams, has already qualified for the NAIA Championships. “He is an outstanding athlete and has a very promising future,” said Wes Williams. In addition, Autumn Wright has also had a great performance and currently has the best time on the West Coast. She transferred from Palomar College. Coaches often times have great goals for their teams and CSUSM is not an exception. Coach Williams wants to have 15-17 sprinters qualified for the NAIA Championship. And Coach Steve Scott wants the same, along with at least four All-American athletes. It is pos­ sible, since the team boasts three returning All-Americans. m The track team prac­ tices Monday-Thursday at 3p.m., on the track field. Friday and weekend prac­ tices depend on upcoming meets. This past Satur­ day, the Cougars competed at San Diego State’s Aztec Invitational. “It was a very competitive race and future meets will be even more competitive,” added both of the coaches. The National Associa­ tion of Intercollegiate Ath­ letics (NAIA) Nationals is scheduled for May 23-25 in Olathe, Kansas. Next track meet will be at Point Loma Nazarene on April 6, 2002.

Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives.

This was immoral and possibly illegal. * I urge each of you to contact your benefits administrator and request, no, DEMAND, a sworn, notarized statement stating that your benefits will not be denied while off work for any reason. Do not be fooled by anybody saying, “ We are here to help you.” My health was bad during these denials, is poor now, and is unknown for the future. It is very depressing not being able to see a doctor and/or psychiatrist and/or to get medications when desperately needed. If you are contemplating litigation against CSUSM for any reason, I will volunteer, for free, as an expert witness, concerning my relationship with CSUSM from 8/20/92 to present. REMEMBER: Your health and the health of your loved ones may be in jeopardy. Please contact your union rep as well. WHAT IF? If you are a female non-management employee or a male employee with a spouse or otherwise, what would happen if you were denied medical benefits, as was done to me? If pregnant, this could result in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or with a newborn who is critically ill, a premature death. Either way, in my personal opinion, this would be IMMORAL MANSLAUGHTER!!!! I re-urge each of you to get a sworn, notarized statement from your benefits administrator, co-signed by President Gonzales, specifying that your benefits will not be denied while on leave. Again, I will be glad to appear as a volunteer, free (redundancy intended), expert witness concerning my personal experiences from 11/90, 8/92, 9/01, to the present. have also paid out an estimated $2500 in dental bills because of denial of dental benefits. I consider this ad and the one above to be my moral obligation. One can deny the truth, but the truth cannot be denied!

By EMILY KELLEY Pride Staff Writer At 12:00 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, in a room with a seat­ ing capacity of 50, between 15 and 20 Cal State San Marcos’ students gathered to watch Dr. Jean Kilboume’sground-break­ ing documentary on the exploi­ tation of women’s images in advertising, “Killing Us Softly 3.” The film, presented by the *Progressive Activist Network (PAN), in association with the Women’s Studies Department, was what PAN President Erik Roper deemed “the first in what’s hopefully a monthly event in our ‘socially relevant’ film series.” “A good turnout would be 20 people. There is a lot of apathy here, but (PAN) is trying to change that,” said PAN vice president and ASI candidate James Nguyen. Susan Cratty, of the Wom­ en’s Studies Club, stood outside before the presentation of the film, trying to entice passing students to corhe in and watch by offering them refreshments. While some seemed interested, none joined, and most walked by without a glance. Two male students responded to the invi­ tation by saying, “Can we just take the snacks and go?” Cratty said that the film, which exposes and analyzes certain trends in the represen­ tation of the female body in the media, is “important because it helps us become aware of how we are brainwashed by the media and [how the media] constructs gender.” “We need more support and awareness and political activ­ ism in the community,” Cratty added. » A rticle cont. on pg 2 Campus Identity Statement Finalized By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Students visiting the booths.

The Associate Vice Presi­ dent of Academic Affairs, David J. Barsky, announced to the Academic Planning and Policy (APP) committee, which deals with the university curriculum and approves new courses and policy changes, that the current policy was not in compliance with the new Executive Order given by CSU Chancellor, Charles B. Reed. The APP has created a written proposal for policy changes, and addressed the Academic Senate at CSUSM on Tuesday, Feb. 5, requesting amendment and approval. The current policy states that, on or before the add/drop dead­ line (end of the sepofcd week of the semester), a student may use the SMART system to drop a course, or may submit a sched­ ule adjustment form to Enroll­ ment Services, with no record of the course appearing on stu­ dent records and with no signa­ ture required from the professor. If a student wishes to withdraw or drop a class after the given dead­ line, these are the procedures that must be followed. After the deadline, the student must pres­ ent a serious reason for dropping the course and the dean of the college must sign the schedule adjustment form. Inadequate aca­ demic preparation for the course is sufficient justification. After receiving approval to drop, the student receives a grade of ‘W’ .(“Withdrew.”) Next semester, students will have only 13 days (including weekend days) to drop a class. The policy was also amended to read, “Withdrawals after the add/drop date and prior to the last 20 percent of instruction may be assigned only for seri­ ous and compelling reasons. Per­ mission to withdraw during this time shall be granted only with the approval of the instructor and the department chair and/or dean as described by campus policy. All requests to withdraw under these circumstances and all approvals shall state the reasons for the withdrawal. The records of such approvals shall be main­ tained in accordance with the campus record retention policy.” The proposed changes to the withdrawal policy are in response to a new Executive Order, addressed to the CSU system. “The Executive Order allows » A rticle cont. on pg. 3 After many months of dis­ cussions, the committee in charge of reshaping the iden­ tity statement for Cal State San Marcos concluded its dis­ cussions and finalized a state­ ment designed to distinguish CSUSM from other CSU cam­ puses and universities in the San Diego region. On March 7, the commit­ tee voted unanimously in favor of the newly proposed state­ ment and will now send it to the president’s cabinet for final approval on March 25. The statement reads, “The higher education leader fos­ tering quality of life through lifelong personal growth and sustainable community devel­ opment in the northern San Diego region.” “It is not a huge change,” said Rick Moore, director of communications at CSUSM. “It is merely a different way of looking at what we are already doing.” The committee has been meeting regularly to try and bring all focuses and areas of the university together in one clear aiid concise statement of purpose. “The statement doesn’t rep­ resent a change in direction, but a more full understanding of what we’re trying to do for students and the surrounding areas,” said Bud Morris, one of the co-chairs on the commit­ tee and a chairperson for the College of Arts and Sciences. Morris also said the commit­ tee “paid very close attention to the university’s vision, mis­ sion » A rticle cont. on pg. 2 CSUSM Encourages Students to “Make The Break” By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer With Spring Break two weeks away, concern for students’ safety becomes an' issue for parents, police and health officials, as well the surrounding community. Many students feel the need to let loose during their seven days of freedom. Beginning Thurs­ day, March 21, 2002 and ending Thursday, March 28, 2002, the question becomes, can you “Make the Break?” ASI, Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), Student Health Services, Student & Residential Life, the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee, University Police, Peer Educa­ tion & Support (PEAS), North Inland Community Prevention Program, and Responsible Hos­ pitality Coalition are sponsoring this year’s “Make the Break” week. The theme behind “Make the Break” is, “Make it different, make it fun, make it safe, and make it home!” As many of us know, Spring Break is noto­ rious for irresponsible drinking and sex. Or, so the stereotype goes. Even MTV promotes the idea that getting wild is the only thing to do during this vacation. Sponsors of “Make the Break” are trying to educate people on responsible drinking behav­ iors, safer sex, date-rape drugs, dub drugs, sexual assault, and underage drinking. All groups involved will also inform stu­ dents of safer ways to have fun that won’t do any harm to their bodies. CSUSM might be small, but there are still plenty of stu­ dents who are ready, willing, and able to party irresponsibly, so it is the goal of “Make the Break” to have a high attendance rate at all of the events. Thursday, March 21, 2002, Julie Bell-Elkins, a national pre­ senter on issues of alcohol and wellness, will speak on the Dome Terrace about health, wellness and alcohol. Bell-Elkins will be doing her presentation in a game show format, allowing stu­ dents to have fun cheering on their peers while learning valu­ able information. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 10 a.m, to 2 p.m., the University Police and CAPS will have run a mock Alco­ hol Screening & DUI Check­ point. Armed with a Breathalyzer and vision impairment glasses, the University Police will demon­ strate what it’s like to go through the test drunk. During the alco­ hol screening, counselors will be available to discuss concerns stu­ dents have about friends who might have drinking or drug-use issues, or with personal substance abuse problems. All participants will receive a MADD ribbon, which will serve as a ticket to a free BBQ on Thursday, March 28. Monday, March 25, an Alcohol/Club Drugs Open Dis­ cussion Forum is scheduled from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Mez­ zanine. The forum is designed to promote awareness of club drugs and alcohdl issues that affect college students. A “Books &Booze” Alcohol Workshop in ACD 302 from 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. is scheduled as well. Tuesday, March 26, there will be a “Make the Break” Booth Contest from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Founder’s Plaza, where students can gather information ^on how to have a safe spring break, get “mocktail” recipes and learn how to party responsibly from a variety of clubs and organizations . There will also be a “Let’s Talk about Sex” Safer Sex Workshop from 10 a.m. -11 a.m. in ACD 303.

Pride Photo/Claudia Ignacio By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer There have been rumors that on Twin Oaks Valley Road at the light before Craven Drive, the main entrance to the riew Ralphs shopping center, there are traf­ fic cameras. The rumor is false. Deputy Maryn of the San Marcos Sheriffs Department stated that there are no traffic cameras in the city of San Marcos. This doesn’t mean that you can run red lights or speed up at the yellow ones, however. I was at the local Starbucks coffee shop, where I encoun­ tered an off-duty sheriff. I talked to her for a little bit while we waited for our $4 ice cold frappucinos. “Yellow lights are to warn drivers that the intersec­ tion must be cleared,’’she said. The minimum fine for run­ ning a yellow light is $271. Beware, though, there are plans to install traffic cameras in the North County area. I tried to reach the city of San Marcos Engineering Department, but no one responded (I called Monday, March 11 and Tuesday, March 12.) These sneaky devices do exist in San Diego and River­ side counties, although city ordi­ nances require a sign be posted to inform traffic of the surveil­ lance. The nearest traffic cam­ eras to CSUSM are on Pomerado and Poway Roads. Look for the warning, “Photo Enforced.” It turns out that the supposed cameras on Twin Oaks are only * new-style sensors to detect emer­ gency lights atop ambulance, fire, and sheriff vehicles. So for now, if you run a red light, you’re okay, unless a cop sees you. Committee Defines N ew Campus Identity programs offered to prospective »>Article cont. from pg. Xand values.” In addition to these focal points, the statement now con­ tains a geographic locator (the northern San Diego area), which was designed to help prospec­ tive students and other interested parties or financial donors who live outside the area understand where, exactly, San Marcos is located. “If they (people unfa­ miliar with the area) hear San Diego and hear north, it gives them a connection,” said Moore. The committee also took time to address issues concern­ ing community involvement and development. As CSUSM expands and becomes a larger part of the community, the administration doesn’t want to become a burden to the sur­ rounding areas, but rather hopes to make a positive contribution to communal growth. Morris men­ tioned holding potential forums to discuss transportation needs, parking issues and traffic Con­ gestion that would address con­ cerns of both the city of San Marcos and the university itself. The statement was created as a way for the staff and adminis­ tration to promote the institution, emphasizing the strengths of the students, the balance between the growth of the university and the surrounding areas, and the goals of the university. All of these issues now are linked together in a simple phrase that explains how CSUSM chooses, as an institu­ tion, to be described. Although “for most students it will be awhile before they notice any difference . .. this statement [encapsulates] what the university is intending to accom­ plish, bringing a conclusion to a lengthy discussion on the goals of the university,” said Moore. Educating Students on H ow to “M ake the Break” 2 »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 in which students can learn about other options and possible plans and also gather information about community resources. There will be an alternative rock band from Hayward out to entertain. The week ends on Thursday, March 28 with a Sumo Wrestling Contest, in which people will be able to dress in the huge sumo outfits and wrestle their friends. There will also be a Pledge Cam- paign put on by PEAS. PEAS is sponsoring a nationwide pledge to not drink and drive. All students who pledge will be entered to win a Jeep Wrangler and will receive the MADD ribbon, which is the free ticket to the Spring'Fest BBQ, from 12 p.m.-1:30 p.m. in the Dome Plaza. Remember, “Safe sex is better sex” and “Des­ ignated drivers save lives.” Women’s Herstory Month Film »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 Dr. Catherine Cucinella, a literature and writing studies professor, both introduced and facilitated a discussion of the film. “The discussion after the film was just as, if not more, worthwhile than the film itself,” Roper said, “because of Dr. Cucinella’s facilitation, and because discussion is where we actually learn. It would not have been the same without her.” The screening of “Killing Us Softly” is part of CSUSM’s ongoing celebration of Women’s His­ tory, or Herstory, Month, and the second event CSUSM has staged in celebration. Roper said, “One of PAN’s missions or goals is to become a hub of student activism at CSUSM - another is to educate our fellow students and surrounding com­ munity about issues we feel are important and to encourage them to become active as well. The film series should help us realize both goals, and we’ll be showing a film in collaboration with a different group or club on campus each month.” W o m e n ’s R e s o u r c e F a ir A t t r a c t s M a n y S t u d e n t s In addition, the center also helps stu­ it’s important that not only dent interested in doing research.

[promoting aware­ ness of domestic violence] fits the whole theme of the fair.” Alpha Chi Omega’s main focus is supporting the fight against domestic violence. While many groups participating in the fair had a specific agenda, this was not the case with those at the Bally Total Fitness booth. “First of all, I didn’t even know it was Women’s History Month; I’m not going to lie about it,” said Tiani Wright, Bally Total Fitness salesperson. “We are really not here for that purpose [celebrating women’s history month],” said a male representative. Despite this, Wright sent a message to all CSUSM female students: “You just take time for yourself. Take the time to go to the gym and just relax ... Something that you can give back to yourself is very important.” �U .S .

Election Coverage Note: The candidates with no information did not respond to interview requests. Compiled by Melanie Addington and Vicky Segall Jocelyn Brown Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I have been an ASI board member for the last three years. Over that time I have- seen ASI grow and improve tremendously. The quality of ASI and the repre­ sentation that is going on now is the best it has ever been. It can still get better though, and we can still grow to represent and pro­ vide for more students. We have set a vision this year that incor­ porates expansion, better com­ munication, building community, developing more quality pro­ grams, providing more recreation opportunities and providing more services that meet the needs of our growing, diverse population. Photo not submitted Honee Folk Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I believe that each person holding an elected office is a rep­ resentative of a population of stu­ dents. These populations can be grouped based on cultural iden­ tity gender, sexuality, career/job held, ability, progressive or tra­ ditional thinking, and organiza­ tion affiliations, to provide a few examples. These characteristics allow an official to connect with constituents in an extremely inti­ mate manner, giving the officer a direct insight concerning the needs of each population. Unfortunately, the majority Photo not submitted Anna Hall Running For: President Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I see a great need on our campus for unity and a commu­ nity life. Our school is seriously lacking unity. After speaking with many of my friends on campus, I came to the conclu­ sion that nothing will ever change unless someone does something about it. So I decided to run for president to unite my fellow stu­ dents and create a real campus community life.

STUDENT FEES: Our state is in a 17 billion-dollar deficit, which means that the governor could be making cuts to the CSU system. Currently, I am involved with lobbying efforts to ensure that our tuition (state-mandated fee) does not increase. Next year I plan to continue lobbying efforts set forth this semester. In terms of campus fees, my posi­ tion would be to‘bring any and all fee increase information to the students as soon as ASI is aware of it, gather the student opinion on the fee and then advo­ cate for that collective opinion to the administration. COMMUNICATION: I would like to improve the communica­ tion between ASI and the admin­ istration, the students and the administration, ASI and the stu­ dents, and the campus and the community. I plan on institution­ alizing a “State of the Campus Address” to happen each semes­ ter with the ASI president and the university president, in which they would both give updates as to the current and future projects and issues that affect the campus. I would also like to begin pub­ lishing an ASI monthly newslet­ ter. I want to see the ASI board being more proactive in its efforts to gather and respond to the stu­ dent voice. I would also like to build more ties to our sur­ rounding community - such as making sure that every store in the Campus Market Place has a CSUSM pendant in it. CAMPUS PRIDE: Bottom line we need more of it. I want to put together an ASI committee dedi­ cated to creating and implement­ ing ideas to build campus pride. I want to help build a commu­ nity so that people feel inclined to show support for our school. What will you do away with? I want to do away with the idea that Cal State students are apathetic. I want to find ways to reach out to all students so that everyone feels supported and served by ASI. I also want to do away with the common question - what is ASI and what do they do for me? Additional Comments: I would like to add that I am running with a great slate: OPER­ ATION STUDENT VOICEYOUR VOICE, OUR MISSION and that is exactly what we stand for! of ASI elected officials has far too often been the representatives of identical populations, with only a few variations. In order for the student body to return the campus involvement and partici­ pation in events that each repre­ sentative craves, that official must create an environment where stu­ dents feel supported, like their needs will be taken care of. When representatives have a vested interest in the outcome of a decision because that decision affects a population that the offi­ cial belongs to, and there are rep­ resentatives of a vast variety of populations on the ASI Board, only then can we have expecta­ tions of the student body, because adequate representation has been provided. I am a presidential candidate because I am a multi-cultural black/white/Native-American woman, first-generational college - student, low income, bi-lingual proponent, re-entry student, pro­ gressive-minded activist, and my populations wil^finally be repre­ sented. What do you believe you can bring to this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? My incredible ability to make connections with individuals sets me apart from other candidates. I am an honest and open human being. I give so much of myself in my first interaction with a person, that it sets precedence and lays the foundation needed to have a productive relation­ ship. This is one of the most valuable qualities I can have as ASI president because so much of my success will depend on the connections I maintain with my fellow students and how I repre­ sent you. What is your political affilia­ tion? No comment. What will you improve if you are elected? I am determined to improve the enrollment and retention of underrepresented students (in every form), and I have been committed to this cause for the last two years. I recognize that this is a process and it will not be solved during my one-year appointment as president; there­ fore I have started the wheels in motion now. I am dedicated to creating, implementing, and maintaining effective communi­ cation with students. As students, we have an enormous amount of power that we don’t tap into because information is not dis­ seminated to us. It is my respon­ sibility to share information with students and ensure that our voices are not only heard, but accounted for. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the president of the Pan African Student Alliance, member of Progressive Activist Network, supporter of MEChA, member of the ASI Programming Committee, Campus Climate Committee, and ICC representa­ tive. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a communication major, and I hope to receive my degree in Spring 2003. and actually serve them. I have extraordinary leadership abili­ ties and many connections in the community. I see that ASI has been run very poorly in the past and currently there is virtually no communication between ASI and the student body as a whole. As it stands now, ASI is only a tool for the sororities and fra­ ternities, and not the majority of the student population. My opponents are currently involved in ASI, and' ASI is not serving the student body. If my oppo­ nents wanted a change in ASI and wanted to truly serve the student body, why have they not done it? I know that I can change ASI and make it a valuable resource for all the students at Gal State San Marcos. I will unify our campus and create a strong sense of com­ munity. I will serve the student body as a whole, not just the sororities and the fraternities. What is your major and when will you graduate? I recently decided to major in biology and I hope to graduate within the next two years. What is your political affilia­ tion? I am very active in the Republicah Party. I am currently the chairwoman for the College Republicans on campus. I am an intern for Bill Simon, the GOP nominee for governor of Cali­ fornia. My involvement in the Republican Party has shown me how big of a voice students can have in society. My involvement in the party has aided in my lead­ ership abilities and it has given me a broader view on society^ clubs on campus; I am a member of the Young Americans for Free­ dom, and I am involved with APSS. What will you improve if elected? My first goal is to unify our campus by creating a campus community. We need to have better communication between ASI and the student body. We need to have more events on campus that are student-friendly. ASI needs to lobby for the stu­ dents with the administration. ASI is supposed to be the stu­ dents’ voice, which it has not been. I will demand that Parking Services actually do something about the parking nightmare on campus. I will demand that the administration allow different restaurants on campus, such as Taco Bell, Burger King, etc. Other schools in the CSU system have them, why shouldn’t we? I will listen to the students about what they want. I will demand that the posting policy be changed on campus. And I will communicate with the stu­ dent body. Students need to know what is going on, on our campus. For instance, the teachers’ union on campus is on the verge of striking and hardly anyone knows about it. ASI has done nothing to help out our professors. They have not done anything to let the students know what’s going on. The big­ gest problem with ASI is that they do nothing. They have a $1.3 mil­ lion budget; what are they spend­ ing it on? Certainly not creating unity or a fun, student-friendly campus life. We need someone to listen to us and it needs to be ASI. Additional Comments: If I am elected president, not only will I listen to the stu­ dent body, I will act on their demands. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am involved with several on-campus clubs. I am the chair­ woman for the College Republi­ cans; I am involved in Priority, which is one of the Christian �ever, it would be great to have the Mbalaka Monololo Running For: Executive Vice university consider other meth­ ods of one’s ID number; perhaps President only using the last four digits, or Why did you decide to run for assigning random numbers like other universities in San Diego office?

I am running for this office because I am a student, and as a student, I know they*]: students] "want to be represented well. I want other students to know what we are here for and I have many ideas for things I want to do. Campus pride is something we don’t have on campus. And that is something that we need.

First, I enjoy this type of activity and feel I’m good at it. and will be graduating next spring 2003. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am involved with various campus activities, [I am] a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsi­ lon fraternity, and an officer for the College Democrats club. What will you improve if you are elected? I will improve the students’ representation on campus, and provide students with more opportunities for enjoying campus life. walk on campus and see our logo on something other than the one public phone we have in the quad area. Bottom line is, I love this school and the students here and I want them to be represented by someone who genuinely wants to help the needs of the student community on this campus. And that person is me! What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? My main strength for this position is that with me, comes knowledge and experience. I have been involved in this campus since my first semester living in student housing at The Islands. At that time, I was the National Communication Coordinator for the Student Housing Association. This position is nationally rec­ ognized; I attended conferences with students from all over the nation to deal with their student housing associations, Since then I have been actively involved in the Inter-Club Committee (ICC). I was vice-chair for two years and presently I am the chair. I have been through a lot with that* committee, and as many other students can say as well, ICC has gone through a huge transforma­ tion, and I have seen it and had a hand in it all. I have also held the position of ASI College of Arts and Science rep, in which I com­ municated with the dean of Arts and Sciences and held an open forum as an opportunity for students to get to know Dean McWilliams. I have been an active participant in the ASI Programming Committee, which was responsible for successful events like the First Annual Mas­ querade Balh I am now the exec­ utive vice president for ASI and I love my job. Since I, just started a month ago, I have been able to get students on university committees as well as on ASI committees. In addition to my experience with ASI, I have also had the opportunity to go to the state capital and lobby for student rights. In my limited amount of time being in this position, I have been able to assess students’ needs and concerns, but have not been able to fully address them in my short time in office. However, if students elect me, it would give me the opportunity to make these beneficial changes that would help the students of Cal State San Marcos in the 2002-2003 academic year. What is your major and when do you graduate? I am a sociology major wfyo will be graduating next June. What is your political affilia­ tion? No answer. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the chair of the InterClub Council, as well as an active committee member for ASI’s Programming Committee, and I am also the student repre­ sentative on the Student Housing Advisory Committee. What will you improve if you are elected? Something that I will defi­ nitely improve is letting the stu­ dents know that we are here for them. We are an organization made up of students for the stu­ dents. I want to have, info tables out; I want to have many open forums in which we can pass on the knowledge, such as stu­ dent fees issues, to the student. I want to establish a communi­ cations committee which would basically be to inform the stu­ dents of EVERYTHING going on in ASI. I want students to know that there are so many opportunities to get involved in this campus and it is easy to do it. What will you do away with? Being a member of ASI right now, I am not sure that there are things that we can just throw out. However, there is always room for improvement. We are a cor­ poration and many students do not realize that. We have laws that we must follow just like any other business. Additional comments: I have the perseverance, ded­ ication, time, effort and knowl­ edge to do this job. I have passion for this position and I know I can represent the students of Cal State San Marcos the way they would like to be represented. Second, I feel like one person can be the difference and I want to be one of the people that makes a difference on this campus. Third, I feel like CSUSM has so much untapped potential to be so much cooler than it currently is; I want to help CSUSM be a place that its students think of as cool, and a place they’re proud to claim as their own. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? "Life experience, commitment and passion. Being 26 years old, I’ve been around longer than many CSUSM students. This gives me a different perspective that allows me to fully appreci­ ate my time here at CSUSM and make the most of it. From a tech­ nical standpoint, my time in the Army has prepared me well for the duties of ASI Corporate Sec­ retary, a job that requires some­ one to be organized and efficient. As for my commitment level, I see that as twofold. I’m commit­ ted to doing my best at every task I take on, as is evidenced by my standing on the Dean’s List and my hustle on the lacrosse field. But I’m also committed to making Cal State San Marcos a place its students can be proud of. I think my work with the Progres­ sive Activists Network (PAN) supports this claim. Most impor­ tantly though, I bring my pas­ sion to this job. I’ll put my heart and soul into this job and do it to the best of my abilities. That’s a promise. What is your major and when do you graduate? Social science with a double minor in Spanish and German; I’ll be here a while. What is your political affilia­ tion? Green Party. What other campus activities are you involved in? PAN, ASI% External Affairs Committee, ASI Men’s Lacrosse Team, the Environmental Club. What will you improve if you are elected? Well, many things specifi­ cally, but to put it in broad terms, I’d like to improve campus pride and the level of communication 'between the ASI and the stu­ dents. What will you do away with? If nothing else, I’d like to do away with the majority of stu­ dents at CSUSM not understand­ ing what ASI does. Meaning, I’d use any and all means at my dis­ posal to make sure students were kept aware of important issues that their ASI are dealing with. Additional comments: A couple ASI board meet­ ings ago, one of the executive board members submitted a pro­ posal for a new board member position to be added to the board. The position proposed was for an Environmental Affairs Represen­ tative. The position was stalled by a tied vote. I’d like to think that if I had been on that board, it would’ve passed. i I - rr |i 1 !H11 III! communities as well as being the Undergraduate and Pro­ gramming representative. My strengths include being able to work well and getting along with others, as well as being able to communicate inside and outside of the organization. In addition, I have more than three years of experience with the City of Carls­ bad, coordinating programs that benefit the community. What is your major and when will you graduate?

You can’t improve unless you know what the needs are. �6 Tuesday, March 19, 2002 -------- 111 Glay Eyiinahn Glay Running For: Vice President of External Affairs Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I believe in democracy. Democracy involves FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITY. I am very interested in progressive changes; therefore, as a dem­ ocratic citizen, I want to be involved in the process here at Cal State San Marcos. I want to leave San Marcos with good memories and also with a good reputation as an active member, because I came to this academic world to be transformed by it and to transform it in ways that will benefit everyone. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I bring to this position my experiences as team leader in the U.S. Navy, captain of my high school soccer team, president of the Catholic Youth Organi­ zation, cross-cultural exposures, and time served as president of the College Democrat Club. My strengths lie in my expo­ sure to diverse cultural back­ grounds, positive attitude toward challenges, courage to engage and commitment to progressive causes, and the ability to listen A.S.I. Election Coverage objectively to diverse ideas. What is your political affilia­ tion? I am a Social Democrat/ Liberal. I believe in conserving what is good and liberating what is biased. However, I want to clarify that ASI is a non-parti­ san organization. I will work to serve the collective interests of all students. What will you try to improve i f you are elected?

I’ve worked with stu­ dent representatives from other CSU schools: I also went to CHESS (California Higher Edu­ cation Student Summit) and experienced lobbying at the state capital. I saw how much we can do, and campus-based, I saw that there was much to be done. I also started two clubs on campus, co­ founding the Progressive Activ­ ists Network and Asian Pacific Students. I also serve on the Stu­ dent Fee Advisory Committee. I was also in the first Emerging Leadership Program at CSUSM. I had lots of training with the dean of students to cul­ tivate my leadership, and realize what leadership was. Now I can put that into action. I want to interact with' students, talk to them. I don’t want to push my agenda, instead I want to go out and see what they want us to do. I’m not afraid to go into unchar­ tered territory, and not afraid to question the status quo or the social norm. What is your major and when will you graduate? Pm a political science major, and I’ll graduate in 2005. What is your political affilia­ tion? I’m non-partisan. I don’t vote because a certain group votes that way. I vote when I think something’s right and when I get non-biased info. I want to take all perspectives into consideration. What other campus activities are you involved in? 1% vice president of the Progressive Activists Network, and president of Asian Pacific Students; I’m on the External Affairs Committee, the Student Fee Advisory Committee, and I graduated from the Emerging Leaders Program in November. I also join the present VP of Exter­ nal Affairs in monthly meetings of the California State Student Association (CSSA), which rep­ resents all 23 CSU campuses, And I also work on the multi­ cultural caucus of CSSA. What will you improve if you are elected? Again, I want to bring the student government to students. I don’t want them to have to wait. I want to make ASI more of a presence, and let students know what they can do, given that the government represents the stu­ dent body. What will you do away with? I’d want to change the Dome food and give students more of a selection. The Dome should become more student-oriented, and I’d like to see more life there. Additional Comments: I want to make the students’ visions become a reality. With my experience and my leader­ ship, I can make this their reality and make things happen. ‘ Brett Gladys Running For: Vice President of External Affairs - especially for the students. I heard the position for VP of Finance was going to be opened, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m a finance major. Here’s my chance to get in and help.’ I believe the school has a lot of potential to grow and become great. This is because we are a young campus that can still be shaped by the choices we make today. Being in office would give me the exciting chance to par­ take in designing the school for today’s and tomorrow’s students. What do you believe you can bring to this position? A definite strength I possess is my ability to satisfy the position’s requirements and qualifications. I am always nearby, so having a hand in any and/or all activities would not pose a problem. I’m a finance major, so I am positive I am very qualified to handle the position’s duties. Also, I have an outgoing personality that will be helpful gathering student sup­ port, being a leader, and voicing what we would want to happen. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a finance major in the Col­ lege of Business Administration, with a minor in political science and I will graduate in the spring of 2004. I believe my education will compliment the position and ASI very well. What is your political affilia­ tion? I voted Democratic in the last election. I believe a Democratic environment would be best for ASI in order to serve what the students would want. (“By the students, for the students...”) What other campus activities are you involved' in? I was recently on a search com­ mittee for ASI to help picSr a person to serve as our new assis­ tant executive director. This role furthered my knowledge of ASI operations. Also, I am currently involved with a social organiza­ tion on campus. What will you improve if you are elected? The campaign slate that I am run­ ning with has come up with three main topics that we would like to push for the school. We believe it would be best for the school to protect student fees, increase communication between the stu­ dents and ASI, and increase pride for [students] attending this col­ lege. What will you do away with? Things that can be done away with would most likely be exces­ sive spending, which can be used for other things. Why did you decide to run for office? My experience on the ASI Board as the college of Arts and Sci­ ences Representative this year has been so valuable to me per­ sonally, and the students I repre­ sent. I have had the opportunity to affect some change by peti­ tioning the dean of our college on behalf of several students. I am a part of a process that has a domino effect in that it not only offers aid to the student who is currently fighting a bureau­ Crystal Folk Running For: Vice President of cratic red tape battle, but it paves the way for future students who Finance might have similar problems. The opportunity to witness change as a direct result of my actions is unique to my involvement in ASI, and it offers me the chance to leave the university a better place than when I entered. What will you improve if you are elected? I will work with all of you to improve campus life by working with our budget to bring quality programming to our campus and strengthening our CSUSM pride. I will make it one of my mis­ sions to reach out to students to decrease the apathy in our com­ munity. What are your strengths for this position? I have at least one year experi­ ence in working with the current budget as a member of the AS! Board. I am being proactive in gaining more budgetary knowl­ edge so I have asked to work with the Executive Director and the current Vice President of Finance to develop next year’s budget. I am a current member of the Co-Sponsorship Funding Com­ mittee, the body responsible for providing funds to student clubs who put on campus events. This is the committee that I will serve as chairperson, as the Vice Pres­ ident of Finance next year. My experience and desire to serve the students is a quality unique to me. What is you major and when do you graduate? I am a human development major and I will graduate in the Spring of 2003. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the treasurer of the Pan African Student Alliance, I serve on the ASI Board, member of the ASI programming commit­ tee, and planner of the Women’s Leadership conference. What is your political affilia­ tion? Democrat Tyrell Fiduccia Running For: Vice President of Finance Why did you decide to run for office? The main reason I’m running is to help make the school better �to me so I can help enforce these thoughts. Should conflicts arise, I can keep a positive, open mind and work through any situation. What is your major and when will you graduate? My major is liberal studies and I will graduate in 2005. What is your political affilia­ tion? No comment, thank you.

Students work to keep student fees down will feel comfortable enough to (as there is a possibility of them express their ideas and opinions increasing.) Marc DeGuzman Running For: Undergraduate Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I want to get involved in decision-making on campus. I was inspired through the first inaugural Emerging Leadership Program last semester. Through the weekly meetings and the dif­ ferent speakers, I saw the poten­ tial of CSUSM. Also, I feel that some students have trouble voic­ ing their ideas and opinions, so that is why I decided to run for Undergraduate Representative. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I believe my experiences in previous leadership roles would be an asset to the students and ASI. I feel I can congruently communicate with people in gen­ eral. I believe I am open-minded and impartial. Also, I have a willingness to help others and do what it takes to get the job done. What is your major and when will you graduate? My major is business admin­ istration with an emphasis in high-tech management. What is your political affilia­ tion? Conservative Democrat. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am a proud brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. I am on the Instructional Related Activities Committee (IRA) this semester. Also, I am part of the newly formed Asian Pacific Student Society. What will you improve if you are elected? I would like to see ASI reaching out to students on a more personal level. I will help rally and petition for student fees to remain the same. Also, I will try to implement and build on programs that deal with campus life. I want to increase commu­ nication between the students, ASI, and the faculty. Office: College o f Business Administration Representatives Candidate: Deanna Garcia Angi L. Hardin Undergraduate Representative Why did you decide to run for office? The best way for this campus to grow to its fullest potential is to have passionate, well-rounded individuals who are able to voice the opinions of the student body, and aid in the process. I am that type of individual. What do you believe you can bring to this position that your “opponents” may not? (What are your strengths?) I will 'focus on the progress of this campus, and not treat the position of Undergraduate Rep­ resentative as a social occasion. If there is an expressed need in a certain area, I will do all I can to satisfy that need in the best inter­ est of others. I see a large portion o f this campus not receiving the full opportunity to feel a part of the “student body”. What is your political affilia­ tion? Republican What other campus activities are you involved in? I am the publicity coordinator for the Pan African Student Alliance (PASA); Assistant to the coordi­ nator of EOP/ASPIRE, Inter Var­ sity Christian Fellowship, Invitee of the Woman’s Leadership Con­ ference, assisting with the plans for the Black Student Graduation Office: Undergraduate Representa­ tives Candidate: Jacqueline Campbell Office: College of Business Administration Representatives Candidate: Matthew Coultas Ceremony. What will you try to “improve” on campus and/or ASI if you are elected? Student awareness is key. Too many students are unaware of the opportunities available to them in order to get involved and help develop the campus. Every stu­ dent should know what and who their student government is. What will you “do away” with? Lack of student access to admin­ istrators and campus resources/ activities, along with getting rid of the habit of creating new poli­ cies without properly informing students.

I believe that the ASI should have a positive effect on our lives at CSUSM. I feel that the CSUSM leadership is so focused on building for the future that they have forgotten about those of us here right now. Why don’t we have anyplace to stash our heavy books (lockers)? Why do we pay $62 to park, but not have enough spots to park in? These are just a couple of the things I intend to have an effect on for you, if elected. What will you do away with?

Scott O’Hare Running For: College of Busi­ ness Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run because I want to remove the feeling that stu­ dents have no effect on their own education. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? I have an ability to get things done. I want to be elected to get some things done for you, not to be included in the ASI social circle. What is your major and when do you graduate? I am an HTM major and will graduate in 2003. What is your political affilia­ tion? I have worked in the business Nina Robinson Running For: College of Busi­ ness Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office so that I could create change rather than complain about the cir­ cumstances on campus. I love meeting new people and being involved. I also wanted to learn more about ASI and represent­ ing the College of Business. I believe that being a well-rounded person, I can bring positive influ­ ence to ASI. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? Having held many leadership positions in my life, I believe I can bring solid experience and motivation to the position. I try to bring enthusiasm into every­ thing I touch and this position will be no different. I love work­ ing with people and am very approachable. 1 believe this is important when you are in a position that represents the needs of others. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a business major focusing on High Tech Management. I also minor in communication. I plan on graduating Spring of 2004. What is your political affilia­ tion? I do not have a specific political affiliation; rather, I vote on issues that represent my value system and beliefs. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am currently the secretary for the Pan African Student Alli­ ance. I am very active in campus outreach through the program SASOP. I am a volunteer in campus visits as well as the AVID conference. What will you improve if you are elected? My goal as the ASI College of Business representative is to improve involvement on this campus. As the population increases on this campus, so will the need for more activities. I believe that for all students to want to get involved there must be activities that reflect their needs, interests and wants. One way to do this is to interview students and conduct surveys. I also want to communicate the concerns of business students to the right places and make them feel as though they are being supported. What will you do away with? I hope to do away with the lack of community on campus. So many new students come here from different places, feeling alone. I know because I was one of them. If there are more social events that encourage interac­ tion and involvement, students will feel more at home here. Additional comments: If elected, I promise to be pas­ sionate about representing your views as business students as well as an advocate for the voices of all students! Kristie McMullen Running For; College of Arts and Sciences Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office because I felt that I could aid in making positive changes on this campus. I’m a person with creative and outgoing ideas. I want to repre­ sent my colleagues in the best way possible.

As a student, I wanted to be more involved on our campus 111!HIB fg g g g g Shannon Tweed Running For: College of Arts and Sciences Representative Why did you decide to run for office? I decided to run for office when I was told that I would be able to make a difference for the stu­ dents in the College of Arts and Sciences because I am interested in improving the “college expe­ rience” for other students. What do you believe you can you bring to this position, or, and make a difference. ASI is that perfect opportunity to make a difference on our campus. CSUSM needs to become a stron­ ger campus, and I would like to take a part in making that happen. What are your strengths for this position, or, what can you bring to this position that your opponents may not be able to? Positive, creative, spirited, out­ going, involved, and determined are all strengths I will bring to this position if elected. What is your major and when will you graduate? I am a communication major with a Spanish minor, graduat­ ing in the fall of 2004. What other campus activities are you involved in? On campus I am an active member in the women’s frater­ nity, Alpha Chi Omega. What will you improve if you are elected? If elected I would want to improve the issue of there not being enough courses offered in majors that fall under the Col­ lege Arts and Sciences. Hope­ fully, by having many surveys for the student body, we can see what needs to be improved in the College of Arts and.Sciences. Also, the\slate I am running with, Operation Student Voice, focuses on student fees, commu­ nication, and campus pride. I think everyone at this university would like to see some changes on this campus concerning stu­ dent involvement. what can you bring to this posi­ tion that your opponents may not be able to? As a U.S. Marine veteran, I believe that I have the discipline to know what it takes to get a job done and I have the loyalty and commitment to follow through on issues that the stu­ dents address and bring to my attention. Besides the fact that I will be asking the students for their input, I also want students to know I am a great listener and want every student to be able to come to me and let me know what I can do for them. I am an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege. What is your major and when will you graduate? My major is human develop­ ment with emphasis in counsel­ ing. I hope to graduate either this fall or next spring, depending on which classes are available. What is your political affilia­ tion? I have no political affiliation. What other campus activities are you involved in? I am involved in the Veterans Association, the Human Devel­ opment Club, and* I am also a peer mentor for the EOP and ESPIRE programs. What will you improve if you are elected? I will improve student involve­ ment and student awareness of upcoming and new policies for the College of Arts and Sci­ ences. What will you do away with? At this point, I am still educat­ ing myself on the policies of the campus. I have not come upon anything that we need to “do away” with, but I believe there are many areas in which we can improve upon so that each stu­ dent has a positive experience on this campus. The polls will be open from Monday, March 25 at 8am to Friday, March 29 at noon. �C ampus B e a t MICHELLE CONSTANT Pride Staff Writer W hat do you think about the changes being made to the add/drop policy? “It wouldn’t affect me because when you’re trying to stay on track to grad­ uate it, would set you behind to drop a class past the date you can add one. But, on the other hand, if the student isn’t motivated to stay with the class, they should be allowed to drop it rather than just fail it.” -Jennifer Acee Junior, sociology major “Two weeks is not enough of a time period to know for sure whether or not the class is right for you. Being able to stay in the class all the way up until midterms helps your grades because you can make a better decision with that extra time ” “I think they should keep the [policy] “I think students of CSUSM pay too much for currently instated.

No. In the Feb. 19 issue of The Pride, faculty member Susan Fellows stated in a letter to the editor, Do the classroom doors lock from both sides? Last month, many of us experienced difficulty in adding classes at a school that is considered ‘under-capacity.’ The new “Withdrawal Policy” Apparently, inad­ is either a slap in the face to equate parking doesn’t drive the professors o f this univer­ away enough stu­ sity or a huge compliment. dents to free up seats for every­ “students are to be regarded per­ one.

The university didn’t exit a course, leaving us with a even see fit to announce this paltry 13 days to withdraw.

After that Moore’s chipper ‘Tn the Loop” time, withdrawals are granted for emails. There does not seem to “serious reasons only and require have been any involvement or input from students as this plan was being .considered. If the powers that be on this campus are truly serious in their quest to offer ‘customer service,’ they should re-examine the negative impact this decision will have on students. An essential element of a quality education is broadening the learning scope to include multiple fields of study. Not only does this produce wellrounded individuals, it allows people the opportunity for dis­ covering strengths in other disci­ plines. But if students are unable to drop a course within a reason­ able time frame, what confidence will they have to try something out of their major? There needs to be a safety net in place that will keep students from fearing new challenges. The new “Withdrawal Policy” is either a slap in the face to the professors of this univer­ sity or a huge compliment. In effect, the message this approach sends is that the classes being offered here aren’t strong enough to retain students on their own merit. Or maybe this shorter deadline endorses the educators. All the classes offered at GSUSM are perfect and there should never be a need beyond the stated “seri­ ous reasons only” to drop a class. The idea of either is ridiculous, but it only highlights how inflex­ ible this revised procedure is. It definitely puts students here at a disadvantage in comparison to other colleges. CSUSM is not alone in the push for shortened drop dead­ lines, but it is in the minority. What’s wrong with having an opportunity to drop a course you’re not doing well in? It’s not some kind of scam. When you drop a course late in the semester, you lose money and you lose the time spent in a class that won’t result in any credit. It ultimately just puts off units that you must complete later. Isn’t that enough of a deterrent to excessive, friv­ olous drops? CSUSM says no. The university feels the need to crack the administrative whip by finding more ways to manipulate student behavior. This new policy, along with CSUSM’s plus/minus grading system, mandatory 2,500 word writing requirement, and the addition of all the SDSU North County rejects ensures plenty of mediocre GPAs in years to come. If this new policy is designed to give more access to full classes by pulling people out earlier, so others can take their place, then why is the last day to ADD, also the last day to DROP? Obviously, a school that prints our social security num­ bers on student ID cards has little regard for privacy. But what busi­ ness is it of the dean’s what ‘seri­ ous reason’ a student may have for dropping a course? UCSD trusts its students to make adult decisions regarding why they opt out of a course and don’t make students’ personal business school business. Not CSUSM. If you want to drop a Tuesday morn­ ing Psych class because you’re distraught because your grandma passed away, don’t forget to fax the dean a death certificate so you don’t “Fail.” At the very least, more infor­ mation should be offered about the content and nature of courses so that students have a greater understanding of what the course entails before enrolling in it, �The Mundane: The Marvelous - What About the Morose and the Forgotten Melancholy? By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor The Women’s Studies pro­ gram at CSUSM kicked off Women’s Herstory Month on March 5 with a heartwarming rendition of what it means to be a woman in our society. There were four speakers from a vari­ ety of academic backgrounds and majors, many of whom told sto­ ries of mothers, motherhood, and womanhood in general. The presenters discussed dayto-day encounters, the trials and tribulations of motherhood, and revealed tales of horrific expe­ riences during the Holocaust during World War II and refugee camps during the post-Vietnam era. But there was no mention of the current plague of violence against women. Cultural theorist and art his­ torian Andrea Liss of the Visual and Performing Arts Department coordinated the event in associ­ ation with the Women’s Studies program here at CSUSM. The event was designed to recognize the thinking, artwork, creativity, and genesis involved in creating herstory. Jennifer Nowotny, a Visual and Performing Arts major and a student in Liss’ class, “Feminist Art & Motherhood,” opened the event with a presentation about the constant juggling that comes along with motherhood. Her piece, titled “Equal Bal­ ance; A Work in Progress,” was designed to never be in perfect balance. Her artwork was an antique scale with blocks on both sides - one side representing the mother’s needs and the other rep­ resenting a child’s needs. The blocks had words painted on them: income, respect, health, away time, desire, education, pamper, success, and fulfillment designed for women of the holo­ painted on the mother’s side, caust. and food, love, clothing, encour­ She told stories about her dis­ agement, education, involvement, coveries of sexual torture, rape, role model, protect, and nurture and medical experiments per­ painted on the child’s side. formed on the women imprisoned The instructions for the dis­ in the Nazi concentration camps play read: “Can you find a bal­ that left many of the victims ance?

It the memorial garden she had was truly a story of a woman’s power and triumph when her par­ ents finally found each other at the refugee camp. As inspiring as some of these stories are, we’re neglecting another very real and pressing problem that plagues far too many women, too much of the time. Mothering and motherhood are important parts of women’s lives, but many women in our society have fulfilling and suc­ cessful careers without ever having or raising children. Prepubescent girls cannot be mothers, and women beyond child-bear­ ing age, although they can adopt or enjoy their time as grandmoth­ ers, can no longer bear children. The same cannot be said for sexual violence. Infant girls can be molested and elderly women can be raped. And they are. According to the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ), a woman is battered every nine seconds in this coun­ try. It is estimated that “up to fifty percent of all homeless women and children in the United States are fleeing domestic vio­ lence.” In 1992, “abuse by hus­ bands and partners was ranked* by the U.S. Surgeon General as the leading cause of injury to women aged 15 - 44.” That’s almost the exact demographic of female students at this univer­ sity. Within my closest circle of family and friends, six out of seven of us have been raped or molested, and no, I didn’t meet all of these people in any kind of support group. The Bureau of Justice statistics show that there are 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults reported every year, but only one of the same seven people I know has reported her assault, even though another of them was impregnated by her attacker. The USDOJ report addresses the fact that “estimating rates of violence against women ... con­ tinues to be a difficult task ... [because of] the private nature of the event, perceived stigma associated with one’s victimiza­ tion, and the belief that no pur­ pose will be served in reporting it.” Shouldn’t we be spending a whole lot of time and money educating each other about this? Shouldn’t this be an integral part of Women’s Herstory Month? CSUSM does have a pro­ gram, run by the campus Department of Public Safety, called Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). According to the depart­ ment website, “The Rape Aggres­ sion Defense System is a program devoted to imparting realistic, self-defense tactics and tech­ niques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course for women that “begins with awareness, pre­ vention, risk reduction and avoid­ ance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense train­ ing.” However, upon entering the site, one of the first statements I read was “For Women Only.” What about men? Aside frpm the need for an awareness of the multitudes of men out there who have been molested as children, and even raped, there needs to be a more general education about rape, what causes it, where the sexual violence in our society comes from, and what we as people, notjust as men or women, can do to prevent it. The lack of discussion about the violence^ against women was not a reflection on the event or on the sponsoring program, but rather a reflection on the students. We are only allowing ourselves to become silent statistics if we, as women, as students, as human beings, don’t make this an issue. http://www.csusm.edu/ public__safety/radpage.html HAVE A N OPINION?

A wide spectrum of women from many diverse backgrounds attended, including women of prominence* community women, mentors, college women, and high school proteges. “The main purpose of the event is to intro­ duce women to the importance of mentorship .and building net­ works with other women,” said Bridget Blanshan, conference committee chair. Midge Consianza, Governor Grey Davis’ liaison and an expert on women’s issues, was selected as a keynote speaker. Constanza’s experience in “public and professional life have made her one of the most recognized,’ and often controversial, women in America,” said Becky Martinez, committee leader for the pro­ gram. She spoke of her expe­ rience and dedication to public service and human rights issues. Following the keynote speaker was a series of workshops with titles like ‘Life After High School,’ ‘Career Decisions Count,’ and ‘Mentoring.’ This portion of the conference was geared toward college women and high-school students ‘Life After High School’ addressed the options for highschool students after gradua­ tion. The lecture was followed by a brief discussion of what college has to offer. This work­ shop addressed the many unwav­ ering questions young women may experience due to the tran­ sition from childhood to wom­ anhood. By providing a circle of college women and students, they discussed the ins and outs of college and the preparation involved. ‘Career Decisions Count’ focused primarily on college women. This workshop housed the discussion based on the deci­ sions college students face upon graduation. To combat these uncertain­ tie s the participants were asked to assess their options to appro­ priately move forward as well as how to detect a choice that can be paralyzing to one’s career. » > A rticle cont. on pg. 3 California Primary Election’s Results By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor California’s primary closed elections took place last Tuesday. Although the latest results, listed March 9. on the Secretary of State web page are not yet offi­ cial, some of the results of the state and local propositions are clear enough to predict if they are passed. The final results are being held up by some 12,000 absentee/provisional county bal­ lots yet to be counted. Results: Proposition 40 The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 passed with 56.9 percent of the votes. The pro­ tection act allows the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preserva­ tion purposes. Proposition 41 The Voting Modernization Act passed with 51.7 percent of the votes and authorizes the state to sell $200 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of new voting systems. The new systems will replace the punch card, or chad systems, used in elections throughout the state. Proposition 42 The Transportation Conges­ tion Improvement Act, et. al, passed with 69 percent of the votes. The act requires that gas­ oline sales tax revenues be used annually for state and local trans­ portation purposes beginning in 2003-2004. It also allows the leg­ islature to suspend or modify the percentage allocation of the rev­ enues with a two-thirds vote. Proposition 43 The Right to Have Vote Counted passed with a strong 71.5 percent of the votes. This requires that the State Constitu­ tion be amended to affirm the right of the voter to have her/his vote counted. It allows the coun­ ties to ask the courts for a dead­ line extension to have.more time to count votes. Proposition 44 The Chiropractors Unprofes­ sional Conduct passed with 79.6 percent of the votes. The new law requires the Board of Chi­ ropractors Examiners to revoke a chiropractor’s license for a period of 10 years if He or she is convicted of various crim­ inal offenses, including insur­ ance fraud, and will allow an investigation of any licensed •2-3 •4-5 .... .......7 Vol. XNo. 6 /Tuesday, March 12,2002 D ecision s Count: W o m e n ’s L e a d e rsh ip C on feren ce ByAMYBOLASKI Graduate Intern The California Faculty Association (CFA) and the CSU administration reached a ten­ tative agreement 6n Sunday, March 2, an agreement that the CFA Bargaining Team, chap­ ter presidents and board rec­ ommended for ratification by the membership after nearly a year of negotiation. The membership vote, is scheduled, on all 23 CSU campuses, for March 22. CFA Chapter Pres­ ident George Diehr said, “I think the CFA negotiated a very good agreement with the CSU administration. By Using a cre­ ative approach, the CFA was able to get agreement for a gen­ eral salary increase - the CSU faculty will see paychecks at least four percent higher .than their March 30 check.” Not only will faculty see paycheck increases relatively soon, adjunct faculty, or lec­ turers, with six of more years of service will be awarded three-year contracts, renewable barring any “serious conduct problems” Diehr said. This is a huge gain for adjunct faculty according to both Diehr and CFA Lecturer Representative Madeleine Marshall. The nego­ tiation promises greater job security to those previously awarded contracts only on a semester to semester or yearly basis. Marshall said, “I am very pleased that the vital place of lecturers is acknowledged. We are very good, very dedi­ cated members of the academic community . . . We deserved health benefits and reasonable job security.” “The lecturers are going to see some very nice improve­ m ent in job security,” said Dielir. The CFA, the exclusive collective bargaining represen­ tative for CSU faculty, has long been in negotiation with the CSU system for salary increases, compensation com­ mensurate with the salaries of faculty at comparable institu­ tions, better benefits, greater job security (especially for lec­ turers) and affordable, quhlity education in the CSU system. The CFA represents tenuretrack faculty, lecturers, librari­ ans and counselors. The current CFA-CSU administration con-* tract began July 1, 1998, and technically ended June 30,2001. » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 News. Arts... Food..

The current term law that limits the members of the Assembly to three*two-year terms and state senators to two four-year terms was not modified, The only difference between votes countywide and statewide was Proposition 41. It was not passed in San Diego County, in which 50.3 percent of voters were against the proposition. Proposition A Make Treasurer/Tax Collec­ tor an Appointive Office was not passed. The proposition received a resounding 78.8 percent of votes against. These results, posted in the county Registrar of Voters, leave the current treasurer/tax collector position as an elected position, which gives voters the right to vote for whomever they want instead of giving the power of appointment to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. This is unofficial informal tion, updated on Thursday on the San Diego County Registrar of Voters website. Ralph’s Center a Nearing Completion The Ralph*s Center Under Construction Pride Photo/James Newell By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer With the skeleton of yet another building finished, the Campus Marketplace, or the Ralph’s Center, is one step closer to completion. Ralph’s Center is growing as quickly as Cal State San Marcos. “This center is in a prime location, right next to the freeway and the campus [CSUSM]. It’s bound to be successful,” said Edward Pejora, construction manager of the site. As of today there are 24 shops in the center, and accord­ ing to Stephanie Perry, mar­ keting manager o f Regency Centers, “There are no mofe [shops] in the making.” Four­ teen of the 24 shops are occu­ pied and up and running. There are four stores that have yet to open: Washington Mutual, Pet Grooming, State Farm and a General Dentistry, headed by Dr. Paul E. Kosciuk, D.D S. These four stores are sched­ uled to open by April 13,2002, the official grand opening of Campus Marketplace. A radio host, games, prizes, sidewalk sales, and fun demonstrations are scheduled for the celebra­ tion. For those who haven’t had a chance to explore this brand -new shopping center, here’s a little update on what’s new. Right now the stores that have been open the longest in the Campus Marketplace are: Ralph’s, a local supermarket, Long’s Drugs, an all-purpose store with a large pharmacy, Starbuck’s, a coffee shop, Blockbuster, a video rental store and the hidden but large Dis­ covery Isle Day Care Center. For those who may be unaware of the more recent store openings, there are now nine more stores open for busi­ ness: Point Loma Credit Union, a local bank that anyone who lives, works or worships in San Diego County can join, Pet People, an everything-for-animals store , Mailboxes Etc., Great Clips, an inexpensive hair salon, Prestige, Nails, an allpurpose nail salon, A+ Teach­ ing Supplies, a supply store for teachers or anyone who needs teaching materials, Radio » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 �Schmidt’s Boardhouse- Everybody’s Surf and Skate Shop - -■ ^ ____________________ By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the Campus Marketplace is Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which opened Friday, March 1. Walk­ ing into the store, one can’t help but feel the fun environment that Andy Schmidt, the owner, has set up. With the light blue col­ ored walls, loud modem music, and the plush red futon towards the back, one instantly feels wel­ comed. Whether you skateboard or surf, are 12 or 22, Schmidt’s Boardhouse is for you. “We have two different mar­ kets,” says Schmidt. “The first is junior high and high school­ ers, who are into the entire skate­ board industry. They are a lot of my business. The second is the grown-up market from Palomar and Cal State, San Marcos. The ones who surf.” Schmidt’s Boardhouse has m “Everybody *s Surf and Skate Shop, ” Andy Schmidt P ride Phoio/Jamieko Lane the top of the line in everything they sell, with brand names like World Industries, Zero, Ripcurl, Billabong, Dicky’s, and Rusty, to name just a few. Everything in the store is the most recent fash­ ion. “We have nothing from Winter 2001,” says Schmidt, vowing to keep only the most current fashions on the racks. The store is stocked with every­ thing you’d need from skate­ boards or surfboards to clothes, accessories, sandals and" Clive backpacks. “These backpacks are rockin’,” says Schmidt. “I wish I had had them when I was in col­ - ., r » _____ lege. They are the ultimate func­ tional backpack.” The store is staffed with three people: Schmidt, Brent Reid and Nicole Arrington. Schmidt, who has a bachelor’s in business administration and 17 years of surfing experience under his belt, has been a guest speaker multiple times on campus for a business class taught by professor Troy Nielsen. Once in a suit and tie in the manufacturing sales world, Schmidt expresses his view of his new business venture. “I’m excited to be putting 100 percent into this business, but it’s scary as hell.” Through a coincidental meet­ ing, Schmidt was introduced to Reid as a professional surfboard shaper with six years of expe­ rience and part owner of Invoy Surfboards. Reid, who has shaped boards under the guidance of better-known shapers such as Linden, Brewer and Welden, puts pride into Invoy, vowing to have the turnaround time for a custom surfboard to be only three weeks. Nicole Arrington, the third of the three musketeers, came on board as the buyer. Arrington is in charge of everything that is non-hardware: clothes, accesso­ ries and shoes. “She’s the one with the fashion sense out of the three of us,” says Schmidt. Right now, the store is still in the growing process. They’re still hanging clothes on the racks, installing the television and work­ ing on the finishing touches. Their goal is to have snowboards and shoes on board by-September. “We want to be the local shop known for customer service,” says Schmidt. “We want to be known as everybody’s surf and skate shop.” Schmidt’s Board­ house is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. San Marcos Sheriff’s Department Holds License/Safety -Checkpoint By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The Sheriff's Department conducted the . first Driver’s License/Safety Checkpoint of 2002 from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1. The checkpoint was set up in the' 500 block of east Mission Avenue, only 1.4 miles from Cal State San Marcos, and was conducted by San Marcos Traffic Unit, San Marcos COPPS Unit, and Senior Volunteer Unit. According to Sergeant Mike Ceq, the checkpoint was com­ pletely random, similar to that of a DUI checkpoint. Five cars were pulled aside at a time drivers were checked for valid driver’s licenses, registration, seat belts, and insurance.

Only one out of three regis­ tered voters cast ballots in the closed primary election, making it the second lowest election turnout in the state’s history. The lowest voter turnout was recorded in the 1994 primary election, which had a 35-percent turnout, when former Gov. Pete Wilson was re-elected. According to the county’s Registrar of Voters website, San Diego County’s total voter turn­ out was 32.3 percent, a total of 438,,761 voters. Statewide, 31.9 percent of voters cast a ballot, according to the Secretary of State website. The information was updated on March 9, and out of 15,280,808 registered voters ,only 4,888,586 cast a ballot However, this is not a final count because ballots are still being counted. On the day of the election, Secretary of State Bill Jones said that only 36 percent of Califor­ nia’s registered voters voted. » > A r tic le cont. from pg. 1 Shack, an electronics store, Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which has a variety of products for surfers and skateboarders, and finally, Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill.

[but] felt blown away by the diversity” of women, said Nina Robinson, a CSUSM stu­ dent running for an ASI posi­ tion. The second half of the con­ ference focused on many issues of concerning all women, with workshops like ‘Defining Your­ self in this Ever Changing World,’ ‘Who am I,’ and ‘Creating Bal­ ance in Your Life.’ ‘Defining Yourself in this Ever Changing World’ focused on the role women play in society. This particular session discussed how the individual perceived her-. self in the “Bigger Picture” Also discussed were assessments of values, culture and social stand­ ing, which women individually place themselves in. ‘Who am I?’ discussed issues of self-realization and self­ esteem. ‘Creating Balance in Your Life’ provided strategies on how to maximize your time, balance your time and priorities, foster­ ing healthy habits, and how to deal with conflict in the home and at work, Tanis Brown, a Human Resource Administrator, felt that this conference was “an oppor­ tunity for the outside commu­ nity to come in and see what we [CSUSM] has to offer...[and] that the young college women had a chance to share their expe­ riences and make a connection.” The last portion of the con­ ference focused on the whole woman. What is meant by the “whole woman” is our differ­ ences, our flexibility, our abili­ ties, and the many faces of the woman. Titles such as ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’, ‘Com­ municating Your Decisions to Others,’ ‘Let’s talk about Diver­ sity,’ and ‘De-Stress this Mess.’ ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’ discussed how the “educa­ tional experiences, professional aspirations, and accomplish­ ments” of a women-or anyoneare useful in mentoring and out­ reach. The main focus is that our successes and life experiences are highly influential to young persons 3#d their life. /Communicating Your Deci­ sions to Others’ touched on issues of communication styles.

This particular workshop was guided by a series of activities that involved self-reflection, andunderstanding others of diverse cultures, as well as the common­ alities shared by all women. “.While we all come from different experiences, we each embrace a similar style of com­ munication. As women we have many different roles, yet we have similarities and differences that make us unique,” said Parisa Soltani, the EOP counselor who led the diversity workshop. This year’s Women’s Leader­ ship Conference brought women from all sizes, ages, cultures, and professions together to create “a cross section of women together for goal planning,” said Jonathan Poullard, dean of students and committee leader. 150 women attended the conference this year, and leaders hope and expect to exceed that number next year. Successful Negotiations Between California Faculty and CSU System > »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 The agreement reached on March 2 will cover fiscal years 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04. While many faculty members have expressed disappointment over the CFA’s failure to secure retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year, Diehr said, “While faculty will give up some takehome pay in 2001/02, they will probably recoup the loss in 2002/03 . . . furthermore, giving up retroactivity locked in a higher salary increase for 2002/03 than we could have negotiated with retroactivity.” Marshall said that “given the current economic situ­ ation in California and the nation, the trade-off of retroactive pay for larger gains in the future was a wise move for both the CFA and the CSU. Because more than half the 2001/02 fiscal year is over, fac­ ulty would have been entitled to retroactive pay reflecting the salary increases that the bar­ gaining unit negotiated. H o w t ever, Diehr noted that the “deal on retroactivity was made in exchange for guaranteed servicestep increases (SSIs) and the “Big Three,” and to lock in a larger sec­ ond-year general salary increase. . . . This tentative agreement trades some short-term benefits for important long-term gains.” Service Step Increases: These 2.65 percent salary increases are awarded annually to many assistant and associate professors for satisfactory perfor­ mance. Formerly, these increases were paid for out of a “com­ pensation increase pool,” which reduced the actual annual increase by about % percent (this means that if the CSU admin­ istration awarded a four-percent salary increase and the state pro­ vided funding for the four-percent increase, the actual increase was, on average, only 3.2 per­ cent.) The CFA has successfully negotiated an end to charging the pool for these increases, which Diehr said will increase salaries by about 6.8 percent (by July 30, 2002) and will also increase many lecturers’ salaries. “I’m very pleased that the process of funding the SSI’s through the pool has ^een discontinued,” Diehr said. The “Big Three:” Lecturer Health Benefits: Previously, adjunct faculty was not eligible for benefits unless teaching at least 50 percent of the time. Beginning June 30, 2002, all lecturers without any other health coverage will be eligible for benefits while engaged to teacfi at least six units, or a time base of 40 percent. Beginning June 30, 2003, all lecturers will be eligible for benefits, regard­ less of any other health coverage, at a 40 percent time base. Counselors Placed on Instructional Faculty Salary Schedule: According to Diehr, the CFA has negotiated unsuc­ cessfully for many years to have counselors placed on the same pay schedule as instructional fac­ ulty. Thisg^ime, the CFA was Successful in its negotiations. Those counselors who fall into the lowest pay range will see pay increases of up to 15 percent. Increase in Chair’s Stipends; A seven-percent increase for department chairs, according to academic year classifications, was successfully negotiated. Diehr pointed out that each year the CSU administration has reduced general salary increases to pay for the SSIs, as jwell as other ‘‘enhancements,” and that the CSU administration wanted to lower these increases to pay for the “Big Three.” The CFA agreement to forfeit retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year locks in a two-percent general salary increase for the 2002/03 year and guarantees three years of SSIs - if the CFA had con­ ceded to the lowered increase and agreed to pay for the SSIs and the “Big Three,” the general salary increase would have been only .6 percent. “By using a creative approach,” said Diehr, “faculty will see that four percent salary increase. It’s a very reasonable contract.” Other Successfully Negoti­ ated Changes for Faculty: The Faculty Merit Increase program was terminated, a pro­ gram that Diehr called “gener­ ally unpopular.” Beginning July 1, 2003, if the total faculty com­ pensation increase exceeds a 3.5 percent or greater increase, a new merit pay system will be devel­ oped. SSIs will now be based on personnel action files, and the standard for awarding these increases is satisfactory perfor­ mance. Further, faculty denied SSIs will now be able to file a grievance. Beginning Summer 2004 (for all campuses on yearround schedules), all faculty will be compensated at 100 percent, rather than 80 percent, for summer workloads. Anticipated Changes Agreed Upon by the CFA and the CSU Administration: Diehr stated that while these changes may not result in any immediate benefit to faculty or students, their implementation is required to uphold standards of quality education. The CFA is still trying to reduce the ration of students to tenure-track fac­ ulty. The CSU will conduct 1,200 searches for new tenure-track faculty beginning in 2002/03. While a new merit pay system has not been developed, Diehr anticipates the formulation of a system more acceptable to the CFA. Parking fees are not under negotiation, and will not change. The three-year contracts to be awarded for six years of service should not only provide adjunct faculty with greater job security, but also retain such faculty mem­ bers for longer periods of time. And while pay increases for summer appointments will not go into effect until 2004, the successful negotiations of these increases should help students and faculty alike with the tran­ sition from a two-semester to a year-round system. While all changes and nego­ tiations are tentative, the March 8,2002 vote will lock in all nego­ tiations through the fiscal year 2004. Diehr said he expects, the CFA will ratify the vote. Mary Elizabeth Stivers, associate vice president for academic affairs and a member of the CSU bargaining team, was unavailable for com­ ment.

Little did I know that I was about to embark on a journey into the midst of a horrific war battle, which direc­ tor Randall Wallace portrayed so realistically and heartbreakingly that the images sneakecl up on me days after I saw it. We Were Soldiers tells the true story of American com­ mander Lt. Hal Moore (played by Mel Gibson) and his 450 troops of the 7th Cavalry who were ordered to air assault into the la Drang Valley in Vietnam on Nov. 14,1965. Their mission: Find and kill the enemy! Moore had no idea, when he was the first soldier to step off the chopper and fire his rifle, that he was about to lead his men into the first major faceto-face battle between the U.S. Army and the Peopled Army of Vietnam. Despite massive American air and artillery fire support, this battle caused a tremendous amount of casualties among young American warriors. Unlike many other movies about the Vietnam War, director Randall Wallace considered one significant factor that is often portrayed insufficiently. It is the first movie that shows both the action on the war front and the sit­ uation back home, equally. More than one hour of the running time is devoted to the establishment of the soldiers’ family life - giving those young men a vulnerable, human side as loving fathers and husbands and showing the impor­ tance of their marital bonds. Also, the worries and fearful waiting of their wives is portrayed in a realistic manner, when the storyline emphasizes the heartbreaking'delivery of governmen­ tal telegrams that confirm the death of the soldiers. The movie’s opening scene, which shows the slaughtering of French soldiers in Indo China, throws the viewer right into the relentless horrors of war and pro­ vides a hint of what is about to come: Heavy artillery, splashes of blood landing on the camera lens, screams of dying soldiers, the camera angle allowing the viewer to stare right down the barrel of a Vietnamese soldier’s rifle - a horrific imagery of killing. All of the demonstrated fight­ ing scenes feel Smazingly real and evoke a wish for escape in the audience, when the screen soaks you into a desperate fire­ storm battle for survival in 100degree heat while choppers under severe fire try to bring water and carry out wounded men. Gibson does a tremendous job of portraying the brave, dis­ ciplined, and experienced Lt. Moore, who loves his soldiers REVIEW "Ice By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor In the new animated movie, Ice Age, there was fexcitement, a sense of camaraderie, struggle, and finally, the move to a new land. Of course, this was all before the movie even began. For the first time ever, the trip to see the movie became much more eventful than the movie itself. My son and I began the 35-minute trek to La Jolla and made it to the theater right when the movie should begin. We got in just in time, sat down and hoped the movie would start. But it didn’t ... for over 45 minutes. A radio station and newspa­ per sponsored a free preview of Ice Age the weekend before its release (it comes out this Friday). The two companies took about 20 minutes to hand out free gifts and to warm up the crowd (a crowd of noisy kids warmed up right before a movie is never a good thing). After they finally ended the gift giving, they promised free posters to all who did not win a t-shirt or sweatshirt. The crowd cheered, the kids shouted and talked. My son sat patiently wait­ ing for the movie to begin. I had a headache. But finally^ the moment was here. Ice Age began -with no sound. The crowd shouted and jeered A like sons and has to see them die on the battlefield. He captures the audience by reliving Moore’s painful war experience onscreen and seems to almost be Moore when he steps onto the helicopter as the last-man to leave the war zone. With the words, “I’ll never forgive myself*that my men died and I didn’t,” Gibson brings Moore’s experience to life. It is the cinematography, the enormous amount of pyro techr nique, the unbelievable work of the make-up artists, who make every injury a painful and real experience, as well as the fast edits, that evoke a sense of entrap­ ment and the inability to escape from this tragic scenery. The movie lets the audience relive the hopeless situation of the soldiers and provides a blunt picture of what war really feels like. It is not a simple glorifica­ tion of American heroes and the dehumanization of the enemy, as it so often is in other war movies. It is a tribute to the young Ameri­ cans who died in la Drang Valley fighting not for the flag, not for the country but rather, as Moore says, “for each other.” It is a trib­ ute to the women and children left behind and suffering from the fear and pain of losing their husbands and fathers, and yes, it is even a tribute to the mur­ dered enemies, who too, were young soldiers leaving behind their beloved.

John Best’s lifef is the story of a successful trum­ pet player. Born in Shelby, North Car­ olina, in 1913, John Best received his first piano lessons at the age of 6. He quit his musical education because the kids in school teased him that playing the piano was not for a boy, but several years later he chose the trumpet and stuck with it for the rest of his life. Today, he lives in La Jolla and is well known for his success as a jazz musician. Twenty years ago, Best had an accident in his avocado orchard in Pauma Valley.

While many cruises guarantee whale sightings, it is possible that certain excursions will not produce sightings. In the case of no sightings, most whalewatching companies provide cus­ tomers with a complimentary pass to return on another whale-watch­ ing adventure.

After much observation, we headed back to the dock. The threehour^ journey was well worth our time and money. I highly recom­ mended the mission for the adven­ turous type, or for those willing to try something new in the San Diego area. If you dare to participate in such an adventure, here is some friendly advice: 1. Dress in layers: The boat will go approximately five miles off shore. Most boats have indoor and outdoor seating available. Guests usually want to stay outdoors to see the sights, so dress in layers, complete with a warm sweater or jacket. Due to the time of year of the migration and the cold ocean water, it’s at least 10 degrees cooler on the boat. 2. Bring binoculars, a camera or a video recorder. Whale watch­ ing, for most, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You could catch a spout or a fin on film and save it forever. The cruises occasionally capture a whale breaching, the ulti­ mate in whale watching. 3. Be prepared for seasickness. It was strange to see about six people throw up overboard at one time. The experts recommend eating crackers or toast and.drinking Sprite before, or early, bn the trip. You may also purchase Dramamine at your nearest drug store. Some of the area’s whale watch­ ing companies to contact are: Seaforth Sportfishing (Marina Vil­ lage) at (619) 224-3383, Homblower Cruises at (619) 725-8888, H&M Landing at (619) 222-1144, and Point Loma Sportfishing at (619) 223-1627.

In the Campus Marketplace, known to many §s Ralph’s Center, a restau­ rant made for food lovers opened on Feb. 26: Stir Fresh Mongo­ lian Grill. Stir Fresh caters to all types of lifestyles. Whether you’re a vegan, a meat lover, diabetic, Kosher, lactose intolerant or the good old-fashioned eat-everything-in-front-of-you kind of person, Stir Fresh is for you. To many, “Mongolian Grill” is not only unfamiliar, but intim­ idating as well. I went into the newly built restaurant expecting a mediocre quality of food, but I was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful restaurant. It was equipped with a television for sports events or major pro'gramming, but I was thoroughly impressed with the great-tasting food. Stir Fresh is exciting, and as Cory Barhart, a Cal State San Marcos student said, “DAMN GOOD ” Stir Fresh is a buffet-style restaurant priced under $10, and its motto is “Grab a bowl and the adventure begins.” There are five steps to this adventure. The first step is to choose the type of meat you. want: beef, chicken, pork or lamb. The meat is thinly sliced and frozen for easier and health­ ier cooking. The second step is to choose your veggies. You have 14 to choose from, includ­ ing but not limited to spinach, broccoli, snow peas, water chest­ nuts, and mushrooms. The third step is to add the noodles. You are allowed to and encouraged to pile these ingredients as high as you can. “Cory and I like to smash <it down with our hands to cram more stuff in,” said Kris Asgharzadeh, a CSUSM student and friend of Barhart. The fourth and most impor­ tant step is choosing the right combination from 10 different flavors of sauce. The different sauce combinations have differ­ ent levels of spiciness and are made fresh daily. Only two are oil-based; the others are waterbased. With the water-based sauces, you are eating not only flavorful food but also healthy food. The water-based sauces tend to evaporate on the grill and the cooks, who will send you back for more sauce if they think you don’t have enough, want you to enjoy the food you create. “Since you’re the creator of your food we don’t want it to taste bad,” said Jesi Schiffer, restau­ rant consultant for Stir Fresh. The final and most exciting step is watching the food being cooked. The chef grills on an open, circular grill, walking around the grill in a circle and entertaining you as he cooks your food. After a minute and a half, your food is done. There are two grills and the restaurant has the capacity for three cooks on a busy weekend night. With your meal, you also receive a Chinese pocket biscuit, similar to a pita, unlimited Egg Drop Soup, and unlimited white rice; all three are made fresh daily. You can either choose an Express plate, which allows you one trip to the buffet, or an unlimited plate, which allows you, for only one or two dollars more depending on the time of day, to go as many Times as you want. There are also many side dishes that you can purchase, including fried rice and spring rolls. For those of you who don’t want the unlimited sodas or teas and would rather enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage with your meal, don’t worry. Stir Fresh has domestic and import beers as well as pre­ mium and house wines. For family customers with children who don’t want the Mongolian cuisine, again, don’t worry. They can order a corn dog and frie,s or choose from a list of familiar food items. If you have already eaten and are in the mood for dessert, may I suggest the Mongolian Moun­ tain, which is a warm brownie topped with chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whip cream and of course, a Mara­ schino cherry. Sit out on the patio and enjoy it with a coffee from PowerSurge. It’s the ulti­ mate way to end a hard day’s work. Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill, open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.,/ is located on the comer of Twin Oaks Valley and Barham Dr., right across from Starbucks and next to Subway. If you’re strolling through the downtown area of Carlsbad. Village, you will notice a wide variety of restaurants and bars lining the streets, many times on both sides. Without even searcing, you can find everything from an open-air cantina to fine dining. Then, just a bit farther east on Grand Ave., boarding the edge of the downtown area, is The Grand Avenue Bar and Grill. Hidden behind the face of what looks like your average bar is an eclectic menu that will satisfy your cravings for just about any­ thing. The food at the Grand ranges from the relatively standard bar appetizers like nachos, fries and poppers to more gourmet meals like halibut and steamed Littleneck Clams, or Greenlip Mus­ sels in a white wine garlic sauce over linguini. The prices are reasSnable, especially when you see and taste what you are served. Fresh seafood and vegetables are always plentiful. To plan for the daily happen­ ings, the kitchen manager and chef du jour Mark Thompson, places at . least 15 items on the list of specials, which includes three to five different types of fish. None of the items are on the main menu, and Thompson bor­ rows from many different styles of cooking. “Many times, I just create different things to see if people enjoy their meals,” said Thompson. REVIEW “I have pretty much free reign over the food, so I can experiment. I try to take into REVIEW Mark Thompson P ride Photo/James Newell consideration what my custom­ ers want and still offer all the items at a reasonable price.” When asked why he chooses to work his creativity and present his ideas at a bar, rather than at a fancier establishment, Thomp­ son said he likes the casual atmo­ sphere. Although the Grand gets busy and stressful, he said, “I’ve dealt with the stuffy fine dining and corporate crowd in the past. I’ve seen that side (of the restau­ rant business), and I don’t want to go back.” Grand Bar and Grill Restaurant. P ride Photo/James Newell As for his future outlook on the food, Thompson said, “I would love to see this place do some fancier dining in the future, but I’m happy just to watch the restaurant grow, press on and go where it takes us.” Even after the economic toils many busi­ ness owners faced in the past year, the Grand’s sales were up 30 percent from last year. Thompson has been with the Grand fSt about five years, but he brings 30 years of restau­ rant experience to his position. Thompson spent the better part of 25 years with the now cor­ porate-owned Chart House, and five years with Jay’s Gourmet. Each time I eat at the Grand, I always try to order something different. Last Sunday, three friends and I strolled into the Grand for a late lunch. I ordered the Blackened Catfish sand­ wich. It consisted of a long filet, generously seasoned with Cajun spices, served with let­ tuce, tomato and red onion, and I chose toasted sourdough bread. It is always hard to decide between crispy onion rings and steak fries to accompany my meal, so April, our server, suggested a half order of each: problem solved. “The food at the Grand never ceases to amaze me*” said Randy Reyes, manager of Real. Food Daily, which i s a certified green restaurant located on the edge of Beyerly Hills in L.A. County, as he looked down at a thick cut of medium-rare Ahi topped with seaweed salad and served on a toasted sesame bun. “Even though I live in L.A. now, when I’m in town visiting friends, I always come and eat at the G.” The price of appetizers ranges from $1.25 for garlic bread to $9.95 for a special lob­ ster sushi roll. Sandwiches range from $3.95 for the grilled cheese to $9.95 for the New York Steak sandwich. All sandwiches are served with a choice of potato salad, french fries or dinner salad. As for entrees, you can get Polio Baracho, which is a charbroiled breast of chicken in a tequila sauce topped with pepper-jack cheese and served with black beans and flour tortillas, for $8.95. But the Surf and Turf, which is a New York steak and charbroiled shrimp combi­ nation served with wild rice pilaf and garlic bread, will cost you $13.95. The everyday menu and dining is supplemented by a Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. daily, including weekends. The Grand offers specials on drinks and has created a couple of theme nights: Taco Tuesday and Thurs­ day’s Wing Night. For Tac6 Tuesday, you can get two tacos for $2. The special runs from 4-8 p.m. and you can choose from chicken, fish or carne tacos. On Thursday’s Wing Night, a dozen wings will cost you $3, and you can choose from nine different sauces. The special runs from 4-10 p.m., dine in only. “Wing Night gets very busy,” said Shery Harding, one of the bartenders. “It has taken on a life of its own.” “Every time I come in, there are good eats at the Grand,” said long-time Oceanside resi­ dent Joe Lorch. Lorch was eating the Diablo Burger, which is a spicy, half-pound burger topped with roasted jalapeno and sorrento peppers and melted pepper -jack cheese. “This is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and it’s got some serious heat.” This month, the Grand will celebrate its 10-year anniversary, a milestone many restaurants never achieve. So the next time you’re argu­ ing with your dinner companion about where to eat and what kind of food to choose, don’t make any rash choices/ Stop arguing, head down to the G-spot, and let the menu put an end to your indecisiveness. The Grand Bar and Grill opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday. It opens ht 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday to serve breakfast, and food is served until approximately 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Sat­ urday. It is said by the employ­ ees that some regulars will stay all day on the weekends and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. �_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Opinion _ The System Works...For Us! A New Cult Classic By Emily Kelley Pride Staff Writer The eternal questions that plague mankind: To be or not to be? Fat Elvis or skinny Elvis? Are we men or are we mice? Or how about this one: are we students or are we customers? This is what we were asked from March 7 through March 9, as stu­ dents were invited to participate in a system-wide “Customer Sat­ isfaction Survey.” The survey was designed for students to rate their happiness with many facets of the CSU system, including facility ser­ vices, financial aid, parking services, student financial ser­ vices, and university police. The survey was conducted online at www.csusm.edu/student_survey, and the results will be posted to the Chancellor’s Office Web site in July. According to the Office of the Executive Vice President, the surveys will be “used to deter­ mine focus areas for improve­ ment; this is a great opportunity to let us know what areas you think rate well, what areas may be improved, and what’s important to you.” Every semester as we men­ tally prepare ourselves for the grueling academic road ahead, we must also prepare ourselves financially for the sacrifices we make in order to become pro­ ductive, well-educated little con­ sumers,, ere, I mean members of society. But really, what’s the differ­ ence? This great nation of ours is founded on the equally revered principles of capitalism and selfimprovement. These principles intersect during the college expe­ rience, where students, of their own volition, pay for the oppor­ tunities to better themselves through education. The goods and/or services that students receive should be roughly equiv­ alent to the money they lay down. Many of us, myself included, work crappy jobs for too little pay and receive no insurance bene­ fits or job security. We exchange these benefits for scheduling flex­ ibility, which allows for the mental focus it takes to be a full-time student. We scrimp and save, we take out loans, we run up our credit-card debt, and gem erally prostrate ourselves to the financial institutions, which are the backbone of the system of indentured servitude that ram­ pant debt in our society has cre­ ated. Many people spend the better part of their lives trying to pay down debt incurred as stu­ dents. With that in mind, how could we possibly not be consid­ ered customers? It is commonly said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. For those of us who have expe­ rienced the madness of trying to find a parking spot or the frus­ tration of being unable to enroll in much-needed classes, this is our golden opportunity.

Welcome to the World of Aea-Dementia By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor I would like to take a short excursion through the everincreasing world we (that is an assumption of a college-level readership) all know as theo­ retical argumentation. I will try and illuminate the extremitivity of the generalization, but first, I "must create an open forum of over-interpretation in order to have a correct perparitivization for my look into the sad fate of over-academicization. As we as a nation, that is a faction of globalization, which is a future prediction of the everpressing corporitization, we con­ tinually sift through the paths of recursive regression and ponder the world of our creation. At one time long, long ago, free speech was an extenuation of the interpretation of the amendmentization of our strongly guarded constitution. Now, in order to have our voice heard, we have to participate in the institution­ alization of written communica­ tion. So what has become of the personal governization of our freedom of expression? The institutionalization of pur creativity has taken the,orig­ inality away from our progress toward the development of our individualization. Whatever cat­ egorization of information we decide to find an alignment with trends to ruin the personalization of what we truly intend to say. We get caught up in the highfalutinization of our vocalization, which confuses the reader and sends the underling meaning to the engineers of sanitation.

There was a def­ inite buzz in the atmosphere and Anne Rice’s Queen o f the Damned was at fault. Forced to buy tickets in advance, there weren’t any parking spots avail­ able, and the lines were long. However, this was not enough to stop moviegoers from attend­ ing the opening, debut of Rice’s third novel turned film, from ‘The Vampire Chronicles’ tril­ ogy. Once inside the theater, there were lines everywhere filled with moviegoers chatting about their curiosities and com­ parisons of Anne Rice’s ‘The Vampire Chronicle’s’ trilogy ... I wonder if the film will be like this or that was the overture of expression. I think this is a fantastic film, a definite MUST SEE ! The beginning entranced me with its dark and ambient metal, which prepared you for the immortal star — Lestat De Lioncourt (played by Stuart Townsend). If not a metal fan, I guarantee after viewing this film you will be. The role of Akasha, the queen of all vampires, was played by the late Aaliyah— who was a rising and shining star of Hollywood before her untimely death last August. This is a great film that everybody is watching. On open­ ing weekend, this film grossed $18.5 million, skyrocketing to the number-one slot. Queen o f the Damned has continued to hold a spot in the top 10 for three weeks now, grossing $33.9 mil-, lion to date. If you’re an Anne Rice fan, you will notice the streaming of both ‘The Vampire Lestat’ and ‘Queen of the Damned,’ which really pieced the film together. I do agree with the reporter that the film lacked a satisfactory ending, but I will not gripe. The director, Michael Ryhmer, did the best he could to put together a decent film after the star of the film died in the midst of film­ ing. Considering this adversity, I think Rhymer thought on his feet and put together a great work. The breakdown of the story basi­ cally tells of a queen in search of a king to rule eternity with. During her search, the immor­ tal vamp she is seeking is out and about seeking a career as a rock star. The two vamps meet... Akasha advances the relation­ ship by taking her king Lestat to a deserted location in Haiti, where they passionately express themselves - if you know what I mean. That is all I can say with­ out telling the whole story. You, have to see the film for yourself. We will miss you Aaliyah. Ml see you at the movies . . . oh yeah, .M.A., you ckn come too.

I am a smoker and have been for eight years. In the response you say that you realize the importance of what the writer said. Then what is the purpose of your response? I am tired of being a smoker because it is bad for me and anyone around me. In the original article / ‘Stop It” the writer is not attacking all smokers in general. He is after the people that carelessly throw cigarette butts on the ground, which I agree is gross. For you information, I do see people step­ ping over cigarette butts to avoid contact like one does when he or she sees dog poop. The writer never says anything directly bad about the school’s appearance. And remember, anyone can phi­ losophize just like anyone can be ignorant. One can overlook beauty, but does this mean that if I were staring into a beautifully Letter to the Editor lush rainforest, I should not look the other direction, where the trees and plants are being ripped from the land,'leaving only an ugly sear on the already depleted rainforest? The answer is no. If you are not a smoker or a smoker that does responsibly throw away your cigarette butts, thank you. NikoTinn �S p e c ia l E ven ts Art Installation and Art 408.

Released on Feb. 20, the study examined changes in the amount and type of work being conducted by faculty. Compared to a similar study conducted in 1990, the amount of time spent teaching and stu­ dent advising has not increased, but the amount pf time* spent on activities outside the class­ room has added approximately two hours per week to faculty workload. As quoted in the North County Times, George Diehr, California Faculty Association (CFA) chapter president and CSUSM College of Business Administration faculty, said the findings may be a way for fac­ ulty to receive more time off for research and that CSUSM now what more research-oriented fac­ ulty.” The study attributed the increase in scholarly activities' and research to the expansion of the faculty’s knowledge base and the addition of younger faculty members. In addition, the CSU now has a larger, more complex student body, new technology, and a broader social spectrum, which Contributes to more diverse and challenging work for fac­ ulty. “CSU faculty members are hard-working, committed to their students, engaged in a wide range of scholarly and creative activ­ ities, and [they are] energetic in reaching into their communi­ ties,” said David Spence, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, in a uni­ versity press release. The study, conducted in 2001, included 2,547 faculty members at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed two-thirds of the contributing participants. In addition to this study, Ana­ lytic Studies designed a survey to find out how students rate their college experience. Find­ ings indicated that professors at CSUSM spend a lower than , average amount of time inter­ acting with students outside the classroom. The disproportionate amount of time was attributed to the fact that CSUSM is a com­ muter campus, students don’t stick around to talk, and they go to work. The CSU is now in the pro­ cess of conducting a similar survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities around the nation that are com­ parable to the CSU. The results will be available in the fall and will show similarities and differ­ ences between CSU faculty and national faculty. R e m e m b e r in g D r. L in loved his daughters very much.

I also chair the ASI External Affairs Committee, which siphons information from the statewide level down to the students at our campus, includ­ ing legislation, voter registration, CSU policies, and campus pride initiatives. Aside from my role as vice president, I am also the vice chair for the University Stu­ dent Union Advisory Board and an active member in the Envi­ ronmental Club. From my involvement, I have gained a vast knowledge of ASI and the university at large. I believe that this gives me the ability to transition easily into the role of president, leaving more time to hear, represent and seek the student voice. I feel confi­ dent in my leadership abilities to know that if given this opportunity »A rticle cont. on pg. 3 By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor Last Wednesday a power outage hit Cal State San Marcos. Students and faculty alike were left without electricity from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. CSUSM student Jessica Smith said, “I had to take two of my exams in the dark. All of the students gathered by the win­ dows or sat under the emergency hallway lights to take the test. Out of all the buildings Univer­ sity Hall was the worst because there are hardly any windows.” “It was total chaos, I had to let my class go and just after the students left the power came back on,” said Tom Menden­ hall, a teacher’s assistant in the Literature and Writing Studies Department. According to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), “The outage prevented a potential, uncontrollable blackout in the San Diego area. The California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to drop 300 MW of power imme­ diately. The resulting outage affected 101 circuits at 11 sub­ stations that serve portions of the following communities: Blos­ som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, City Heights, El Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills, Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake­ side, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Mission Valley, down­ town San Diego, National City, North Park, Paradise Hills, Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber­ nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet­ water.” Even though CSUSM has a generator it only provides light to some elevators and emergency halls. The Dome, Cougar Store and many other offices had to close due to the power outage. K iller S en ten ced »A rticle cont, from pg. 1 Anza-Borrego but each attempt was unsuccessful. Hamilton changed his plea in November to guilty while at the same time promising to find Vasseur’s body. No reason was given for Hamilton’s attempt to change his plea, as stated in the North County Times. “We can’t do much without him telling us the truth,” Hendren said. The suspicion fell to Hamil­ ton early due to his never return­ ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing from police five days after Vas­ seur’s disappearance and a previ­ ous incident in which Hamilton blocked Vasseur from leaving his home until she hit him. At the preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Hamilton said he killed Vasseur by acci­ dent during a fight with her and dumped her body in the desert, according to the North County Times. Prosecutors said Hamilton killed Vasseur when she tried to break off an affair with him, as reported previously. According to court papers, Hamilton had a history of vio­ lence toward women. A Wild Animal Park co-worker alleged that Hamilton sexually harassed her while in a primate exhibit in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly punched another woman with a closed fist and gave her a black eye. Vasseur’ husband, Charles, ^ said to the North County Times that he now has little hope his wife’s remains will ever be found. “I usually go out every once in awhile and look,” said Charles Vasseur last November. Financial Aid Director »>Article cont. from pg. 1. The advice Rizvi gives to students is to research schol­ arships and their requirements, understand deadlines and state requirements, and notify the office of any changes. According to Rizvi, the financial aid office has more reg­ ulations than the bank industry. He said, “While we give the money or checks to students, there are a lot of things going on in the back room. We have to keep in compliance with state standards.” All the CSU system finan­ cial aid offices would eventu­ ally move to a new system, as instructed by the chancellor, but Rizvi’s current concentration is on utilizing all the capabilities of the current system. Rizvi has a programming diploma and a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from National University in San Diego. He learned about the opening at financial md through his membership in California Association of Financial Aid Administrators (CASFA), which provides a list of job postings. Rizvi said he was not looking for a job, but he saw the open­ ing and became interested. He researched the position and became increasingly interested in the position when he was exposed to the technology and student-friendly service offered by the office. Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips, the former director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil­ lips left the position last Decem­ ber, which he had held since the establishment of CSUSM in 1989. Before coming to CSUSM, Rizvi worked for USA Funds, the biggest national student loan company. He held the position of national director for two years, which ran a program with about a $5 million budget. Rizvi said that he was chosen out of 120 candidates and conducted 39 focus groups to help parents of college students deal with loan debts and to help students them­ selves deal with college debt. �C an d id ates’ Statem ents for A SI’s Spring 2002 E lectio n s »A rticle cont. from pg. 2 and that with a great ASI team, we could take ASI and this campus to new, great places! I promise to do my very best in representing the voice of all students at Cal State San Marcos, I promise to bring information to the students on all university issues that affect them, and I promise to make big, positive changes on this campus. Vote Jocelyn Brown for ASI presi­ dent. Honee J. Folk The task of a leader is to get people from where they are to where they have never been before. My name is Honee J. Folk, and Lam running for ASI presi­ dent. With my proven leadership skills and consistent advocacy bn behalf of the student commu. nity at CSUSM, I plan to be the force that takes our community to where it has never been before. The college is quickly expanding and our community is expanding as well. We need a leader who is not afraid of change, welcomes expansion, and will be the voice of the entire community, not just a select few. I am that leader, your leader! A vote for me is an assurance that your voice will be heard. “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stum­ bles ... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... “ Put me in the arena for you. Vote for Honee J. Folk for ASI president. Anna Hall Pm running for the position of ASI president. I just recently decided on biology as my major because I want to be a high school biology teacher. If I am elected ASI president, I will do my best to bring unity to our very diverse campus. It is my belief and the belief of others at Cal State San Marcos that we have very little student campus life at our univer­ sity. I believe that I can unite our campus and give the students an active and vibrant campus life. I am the chairwoman of the Col­ lege Republicans on our campus and am involved with several other clubs. In working with the College Republicans, I have attained good leadership qual­ ities. I believe the best leader serves the people and that is my goal, to serve the students of Cal State San Marcos to the best of my abilities. ASI Undergraduate Represen­ tative Alan Avery-Medina I’m a full time first year stu­ dent with a major in business. I am running for ASI undergradu­ ate representative. I am currently the undergraduate representative and have served on the search committee for the ASI assistant executive director. I am a member of MEChA and also the Raza Graduation Representative. Fur­ thermore, I am the student leader­ ship advocate for the Educational Achievement and Retention Ser­ vices (EARS), which has been essential in building connections with my constituents. As under­ graduate representative, I will keep you informed of all news that affects your academic life by posting flyers, having infor­ mation on Cougar Channel, and open forums. I will strive to inform and motivate students to increase campus pride and social gatherings. I am a determined, motivated, and inspired student who will strive to make this a student-centered community. So vote for me, Alan AveryMedina. Shannon Barnett “How can I get involved on this campus?” was the first question I asked when I arrived last semester as an incoming freshman. My name is Shannon Barnett, and I am running for undergraduate representative. My major is liberal studies. Since asking my first question about getting involved, I have found a. variety of answers. First semes­ ter, I was in the Emerging Lead­ ers Program. Currently, I am chair of the ASI Programming Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI Women’s Club lacrosse team, and philanthropy chair and assistant rush of Alpha Chi Omega. These activities have enhanced my leadership abilities while keeping me organized and well rounded. On a new campus where involvement is scarce and many students are unaware of what really goes on in ASI, I realize the importance of a great undergraduate representa­ tive. This campus lacks commu­ nity; I plan to take my knowledge and experiences and build upon them to establish goals we need to bring the student body, ASI and the faculty together. I will facilitate student needs by listen­ ing to the concerns and ideas of the entire student body. We need to voice our opinions and have them heard. I urge you to take a stand for your future. Vote for me, Shannon Barnett, for undergrad­ uate representative. Help make this campus a place for you. Jacqueline Campbell I’m a biology major cur­ rently working on my undergrad­ uate degree. I am running for undergraduate representative. As a member of Alpha Xi Delta, I have learned leadership skills, participated in community ser­ vice, as well as campus activities, and I know what it tak§s to repre­ sent a community of students. A representative speaks on behalf of the students he or she represents. I want to add more sports, activ­ ities, and clubs to this campus. I am the voice that will make these things happen, and I will do all in my power to make this campus great and a campus each and every student hopes for. Marc DeGuzman Leadership can be defined as creating a positive social change in a person’s life. As a freshman majoring in business administration with an emphasis in high-tech management, I see the potential this college pos­ sesses to transform from a com­ muter school into a place where active college life flourishes. Col­ lege life is not just going to dif­ ferent classes. It is a journey that students choose to embark on, filled with life long lessons and outlets to the “real world.” I want to help expand the pro­ grams and activities already pres­ ent, increase student involvement, voice student opinions and con­ cerns, and bring their ideas out in the open. I believe that I am qualified to be an under­ graduate representative because I posses leadership qualities and have applied them in past experi­ ences. By joining a fraternity on campus, I have learned to interact with other students on a deeper level. Through many leadership conventions and programs, I have learned different types of lead­ ership styles and have developed my own. I feel I am dedicated, responsible, and capable of taking the initiative to accomplish tasks successfully. Finally, I possess the desire to impact other peo­ ple’s lives in a positive manner. Angineen Lynnae Hardin As a recent graduate of the class of2001 from Mount Carmel High School, let me introduce myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L. Hardin and am currently a second semester freshman majoring in psychology. Throughout high school I was heavily involved in several clubs, organizations and sports..I participated in tennis, basketball and track. I was an active member in Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a peer advocate and academic tutor. I held leadership positions in our African American Student Alliance such as historian, vice president and president. I was also honored with “Who’s Who Among American High School Students” award for two consec­ utive years. I have given the same dedication to my college career. I am currently the publicity coor­ dinator for the Pan African Stu­ dent Alliance here on campus and the assistant to the coordi­ nator of Academic Assistance of EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones. I’m very excited about attend­ ing a new university. I believe becoming ASI undergraduate representative will be the perfect opportunity to learn more about CSUSM and give me the oppor­ tunity to be a part of several groundbreaking projects as the expansion and development of this university continues. I am a passionate student who is will­ ing and ready to accept the responsibility of representing my fellow undergrads as we develop CSUSM into our home. College of Arts & Sciences Representative Kristie McMullen I’m running for the represen­ tative of the College of Arts & Sciences from the Education Col­ lege perspective. I am a liberal studies major with a sociology minor. I have attended CSUSM for the past three years. In this time of being a cougar, I have seen many things improve and change for the better. Change and improvement is what I am all about. I have been sitting on the ASI Board of Directors as the under­ graduate representative for the past five months. In this time, I have learned what it is to be a representative of the students. I know that you all want a dedi­ cated individual who is willing to stand up for your wants and needs. For example, the parking permit-zoning situation was pre­ sented to me at a board meeting, and I made sure many of you were able to voice your opinions and thoughts. In doing this we, the student body, shut the pro­ posal down. I want to be able to serve each individual at CSUSM with as much voice as I can. Maria F. Schroeder I am applying for the posi­ tion of the College of Arts and Sciences representative. I want to be your voice, and voice your concerns to the leadership of CSUSM. As a communication major with a Spanish minor, I am more than qualified to accom­ plish this mission. Throughout my three years at Cal Stat San Marcos, I have been active on campus, primarily by being active in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. In this organization I have held various elected positions. Of these positions, one of the most impor­ tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s representative to the Women’s Greek Council. As a delegate on the council, I voted on various issues important to the Women’s Greek community. This experi­ ence has prepared me to be your College of Arts and Sciences rep­ resentative. I believe a student representative should have an open mind, be proactive in voic­ ing student concerns to the lead­ ership of CSUSM, and always maintain an open door policy. If elected, I promise to respect every student concern that comes to my attention, and to deal with those concerns in an expeditious, prudent, and unbiased manner. If you want a College of Arts and Sciences representative that is dedicated to hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making sure that your voice gets heard, then vote for me, Maria Fernanda Schroeder. Shannon Tweed I’m a full time junior with a major in human development. I am running for the position of College of Arts & Sciences representative for ASI. I am an active student member in the Human Development and Vet­ eran’s Association clubs. I am also an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege while they navigate through this bureaucratic system. I am the best choice for Col­ lege of Arts & Sciences represen­ tative because as a U.S. Marine Veteran, I have the discipline, loy­ alty, and commitment to address the interests, needs and concerns of the student body in the Col­ lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote for me, Shannon Tweed. College of Business Representative Matthew E. Coultas My intention, and overall responsibility, is to bring the opin­ ions of the students enrolled in the College of Business Admin­ istration (CoBA) program to the attention of the ASI governing board. In doing so, I will voice an accurate and forthcoming rep­ resentation of the wishes and concerns of those in the CoBA program. I will be responsible and dependable in the course of carrying out the requirements of the college of business represen­ tative position. By performing my duties in an honest and faith­ ful manner, I intend to become an asset to both ASI as well as the general student population. Deanna C. Garcia I am running for College of Business representative. This is my sixth semester at Cal State San Marcos, and I am work­ ing on my bachelor’s degree in business administration-service sector management. Currently, I am involved in a club on campus and have held two executive posi­ tions, one minor position, and have served on two committees within the organization. These positions has given me the oppor­ tunity to work closely with the executive board to make deci­ sions that benefit the group as a whole. I will bring many ideas, suggestions, an unbiased opinion and a good attitude to ASI. I plan to address all interests, needs and concerns of the student body of the College of Business as well as insure that the mission state­ ment of Cal. State San Marcos is upheld in the College of Business Administration. Terra Nelson I’m running for the position of ASI representative for the Col­ lege of Business Administration. If elected, I will be a new face to ASI; however, I am an old one here at CSUSM. I have been attending CSUSM since 1998, and I intend to graduate with a business degree in the spring of 2003. As I enter my eighth semester here at CSUSM, I have decided to join ASI because I want to bring freshness to the team and allow different voices and concerns on campus to be heard. I would be proud to serve in ASI because I believe in the values of intellectual engagement, community, integrity, innovation, and inclusiveness at CSUSM. Implementing these values will help me fulfill the vision of CSUSM becoming a distinctive public university in all facets of academic excellence, service to the community, and improving learning by new innovative meth­ ods. Since our college is so young, I hope to be a part of a team that will lay a strong foundation not only for today’s students, but also for the students of tomor­ row. I’m asking for the opportu­ nity to build and share the vision of CSUSM and develop a distinc­ tive school that we are proud to call our own.

How­ ever, I do realize tlie importance of what was written. Personally, I do not allow family or friends to extinguish cigarettes at my home by snuffing them out wher­ ever they like, but my home is not an institution. The staff writer who wrote this article could have better facilitated effective communication by mentioning how well our campus looks and how, in the effort to maintain its beauty, students could make an active effort to dispose of their cigarettes in their proper place. Furthermore, I find the imag­ ery used to get the point across ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg­ ing them as I walk to and fro.” The better approach to a mes­ sage such as this is by using positive powers of persuasion, not trying to heap upon smokers an insurmountable level of guilt. Reading The Pride, I believe, is for the purpose of assessing the progress and development of its staff and students, measuring how much we have achieved and discussing our future ambitions.

I would like to thank Mar- * * lino Bitanga for touching on the issue of identity theft in his article “Is Your Identity Safe?” in the February 26 edition of The Pride. Identity theft is an increasingly dangerous prob­ lem today. The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web­ site (http://www.consumer.gov/ idtheft/), which addresses this issue at length, as well as coun­ termeasures one can take to minimize risk (See the publi­ cation: ID Theft: When Bad Things Happen To Your Good Name ). Certainly moving toward an ID that is not based on social security numbers would be a good move for CSUSM to consider. I would also take care at public terminals, like the web lookup for book lists at the bookstore, where social security numbers are cached in the browser.

Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. Dear Pride Readers, the weekend. In fact, I’m probably one of the few who have seen how des­ olate our campus can be by 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Still, I am writing this brief letter in hopes that some reader out there has the power to change the lounge hours. I am known for writing opinion articles of a human­ itarian nature, but not this time. This time I am writing to complain for my own personal benefit. As one of the editors for The Pride, I faithfully spend every Sunday in the newspaper office. I recently had this great idea. I could go to the student lounge, pop some popcorn and take a newsbreak (no pun intended, I am an avid news watcher). Unfortunately, Sunday is the only day our student lounge is closed. I realize that campus is not teeming with students on Hopeful, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core. So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem age's lies won't absolve you.

For those of you to whom this is groundbreaking news, WAKE UP! Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a surf team and has had four com­ petitions during the regular season. ASI added surfing to its list of approved club sports on January 25. The team is small at the moment, but has all the potential to become lively and popular within the next year and beyond. The surf team joined 23 teams at the Seaside Reef competition over President’s Day weekend and took sixth place. Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned 20 points for the team, longboarder Dustin Franks earned 18 and after winning three consecutive heats, also took first place in the College Longboard Division. Fairbanks was a key player in this competition; shredding through five rounds and just missing advancement to the college men’s final. He took sev­ enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a strong supporting role, earning 13 points for the team and taking sixth place overall. Check out next week’s edition of The Pride for the results of their final regular season competi­ tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach. For more information about the team contact coach Amber Puha at apuha@csusm.edu. Until next time —pray for surf, warm sunny days and even sweeter swells.

Sports Paralympics Light Up Olympic Flame Again A Preview of What Is to Come By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor Beginning Saturday, March 9, Olympic fans can turn their TVs to A&E and watch the Paralympic Games. The Olympic flame will be relit and the world’s disabled athletes will compete in Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and sledge hockey. In addition to competitive events, Canada and the U.S. will play an exhibition game of ice hockey. Over 36 countries and 1,000 athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath­ letes, 41 men and 16 women) will compete in the 2002 Games. The opening ceremony on Thursday, March 7 will include entertainment from Stevie Wonder, country singers Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop perfomer Donny Osmond, and pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour program on Saturday, March 9th at 2 p.m. EST. What is the difference between the Olympics and Para­ lympics? Unlike the Olympics, the Paralympics use a classification system that enables athletes to compete on an equal level: all athletes compete with a pre­ determined degree of disability. Athletes are divided into three categories: LW classes (competitors with _ locomotive disabil­ ities), sitting LW classes, and B classes (competitors with visual impairment). was introduced by athletes at the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic Winter Games. Since then, cross­ country skiing events have been split into two separate races: clas­ sical and free technique, accord­ ing to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Alpine Skiing Men and women will com­ pete in four alpine skiing dis­ ciplines during the Salt Lake 2002 Paralympic Winter Games: downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom. Courses differ in length, ver­ tical drop and number of gates, all of which dictate the skier’s technique and speed, according to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Giant slalom and slalom skiing events have been medal events since the first Paralympic Games. Downhill was added at the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic Winter Games, and super-G at the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym­ pic Winter Games. Ice Sledge Hockey Ice sledge hockey became an official event during the Lille­ hammer 1994 Paralympic Winter Games.

The athletes use a modified metal frame sled with two regu­ lar-sized ice hockey skate blades that allow the puck to pass under­ neath.

Families large and small will be able to afford tickets - prices range from $5 to The Sports: Nordic Skiing Nordic skiing consists of two events - cross-country and biathlon. Cross-coun­ try skiing began at the 1976 inaugural Para­ lympic Winter Games in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. How­ ever, biathlon did not become a medal sport until the Lillehammer 1994 Paralympic Winter games. The classical technique of cross-country was used by men and women athletes, until skat­ ing, (six to 10 percent faster), Keith Barney is goingfor the gold during Nordic Skiing.

I am very motivated to work along­ side the school and ASI and make changes for the better while serv­ ing the students at Cal State San Marcos. My major emphasizes finance, so I believe I am quali­ fied to handle the responsibilities of this position. I am a dedicated worker and a team player, and I believe these skills will help me contribute to ASI. Crystal Folk I am running for the ASI posi­ tion, vice president of finance. I am committed to student involve­ ment, as I am currently the repre­ sentative for the College of Arts & Sciences. I serve on the ASI Programming Committee, which is responsible for the many suc­ cessful events here on campus. I am a member of the Women’s Leadership Committee, which focuses on outreach to disad­ vantaged high-school students, which provides them with pos­ itive encouragement. The pro­ gram encourages each young person to utilize the other as a beneficial resource and means of support. I am treasurer of the Pan African Student Alliance, and I am responsible for keeping accu­ rate records of our accounts. I update our statements and main­ tain open communication with the officers and members of our organization concerning budget­ ary matters. With the help of the network I have established here on campus with students, faculty, and staff, I will achieve each goal set forth this coming year. My dedication to student involvement and student life will be reflected in my work on the ASI budget, so vote me, Crys­ tal Folk, your vice president of finance.

I currently work in the computing labs and also par­ ticipate with SASOP in early out­ reach programs here on campus. I also hold the office of secretary in the Pan African Student Alliance. I am very enthusiastic about the business program at this school and hope to see it achieve fur­ ther accreditation. My participa­ tion on campus has allowed me to meet many different people and build my own vision for the future of CSUSM. A big com­ plaint on campus is that there is no college culture, and little student involvement. I too com­ plained about this and decided if I wanted a good college experi­ ence, I would have to create it myself. My goals as the College of Business representative are not only to represent the students of the College of Business, but also to create memorable and creative activities for this campus. The university can continue to con­ struct new buildings; however, someone must build the spirit within the campus first, and it will start with me.

ASI Vice President of External Affairs Brett Gladys The time has come for us to take hold of our university and mold it into ‘our’ university! The time has come for change! The division that exists between stu­ dent government and the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos is wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett Gladys, am running for the posi­ tion of vice president of External The Pride Affairs so that I can work to rec­ tify this situation. In this posi­ tion, I will be able to work with students to promote change at Cal State San Marcos and to work on a statewide level with every Cal State University to fight for student interests. Cal State San Marcos needs leadership that is in touch with the needs and con­ cerns of students and is willing to work diligently for those inter­ ests. As vice president of External Affairs, I will communicate with students and speak for them at ASI and CSSA conferences. I will work to enrich the lives of stu­ dents and to see involvement on campus grow. Through campus pride initiatives and increased student involvement in the stu­ dent government, we can improve this university! There are great things on the horizon for Cal State San Marcos, and it is my wish that every student be a part of them. Glay Eyiinah Glay I am a full-time senior major­ ing in political science, with a minor in economics. I am run­ ning for the ASI position of vice president of External Affairs of ASI. As your ASI vice president of External Affairs, I will fight for issues that are important to CSUSM students: Low fees and tuition, smaller class sizes, increased funding for more diverse student activities and keeping you informed of policy changes that affect us. I am a veteran of the US Navy. I served in student lead­ ership positions in high school and military training school. I presently volunteer for MAMA’s Kitchen, serving hot meals to our unfortunate brothers and sisters in the greater San Diego area. I have the experience, commit­ ment, devotion, and loyalty nec­ essary to represent the voices and interests of Cal State San Marcos students in our effort to make this university a home away from home. So please vote for me. Thank you for choosing me. James Nguyen I am a political science major applying for the position of ASI vice president of External Affairs. I am currently an active Exter­ nal Affairs Committee member, a Student Fee Advisory Commit­ tee member, the vice president of the Progressive Activist Net­ work, and the president of the Asian Pacific Student Society. I was also in the inaugural class of the Emerging Leader Program at Cal State San Marcos.

Being a well-known indi­ vidual by many students, staff and faculty, my involvement on campus stretches well beyond the area of student government. I am a devoted student advocate actively involved with student life and student issues. My dedica­ tion to student life is a key con­ tribution I bring to ASI. In conclusion, what I have to offer the student body of CSUSM is broad experience in student government and student life that will help me effectively and effi­ ciently carry out the duties of vice president of External Affairs to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President Arti A. Patel I am running for the position of executive vice president. I am a sociology major who will be graduating next June. The reason I am running is simple: there is a need to increase student involve­ ment on campus, and I feel I am the most qualified to handle that job. As the current executive vice president of ASI, I am in charge of placing students who want to get involved either through com­ mittees, focus groups or other activities/events in need of a stu­ dent voice. As a student who has been involved in many aspects of student life on this campus, I have observed the increasing need for student involvement and student voice. In my first week as the newly appointed execu­ tive vice president, I was able to recruit three students to fill cur­ rently vacant board of director positions, as well as place sev­ eral students on committees with openings. If elected as executive vice president for the 2002-2003 school year, I plan to implement programs such as a campus pride initiative, as well as other ini­ tiatives, that will help to build campus community.

Part of my job in the U.S. Army Finance Corps was to be the debt man­ ager for over 10,000 soldiers from two bases in Germany and also for the camps I was deployed to in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job required a lot of organization and efficiency. Coincidentally, these . very same skills are needed to be an effective ASI corporate secre­ tary. Being away from college for so long has helped me to appre­ ciate the opportunity I have to get involved and make a differ­ ence. To that end, when I came to CSUSM last semester, I hit the ground running. Instantly, I joined the lacrosse team, began sitting on the ASI External Affairs Committee, and started up the Progressive Activists Net­ work (PAN), of which I am the current president. One of the things I found striking about CSUSM when I came here was the lack of community, identity, and school pride. Through PAN, I have been trying to change that by collaborating and communi­ cating with several other student organizations and bring events to campus that will foster feel­ ings of community, identity, and school pride. For example, PAN’s monthly Socially Relevant Film Series (started this semester) has arranged to show films with PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu­ dent Association, APSS, and the Environmental Club. Right now, this campus is quiet and lacks a conspicuous identity, but it does not have to be like that. We have so much potential, to make this place fun, to make this place rock, and most importantly, to make this place ours. There have been times this year when student voices were not heard by the leadership of OSUSM, and sometimes that has been disastrous (i.e. the Com­ mencement controversy). As ASI corporate secretary, it would be my job to keep the information student leaders need to make informed decisions on past, cur­ rent, and future issues. But I do not feel that is enough. If elected, I promise to be a proactive secretary who is dedicated to keeping students abreast of cur­ rent issues, finding out how stu­ dents feel about those issues, and making sure that the leadership of CSUSM know how students feel about issues. If you want an ASI corporate secretary ded­ icated to keeping you informed, hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making CSUSM a place we can all be proud of, vote for me, Erik Roper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kovacs further indicated that, during the party, students were encouraged to take anon­ ymous Polaroid photographs of Apartments Under Construction Pride Photo/James Newell See page 2for complete story... their genitalia so that the picture could be used later in a game of matching the photo with the party-goer. The party was not manda­ tory, according to Kovacs, who said, “It was just a fun, harm­ less get-together.” The party was suggested as a means to introduce students from various sections of the course to one another. The Male Sexuality and Female Sexuality sections of the Women’s Studies Program are part of UC Berkeley’s “demo­ cratic education” or “de-cal” pro­ gram.

The program, which is funded by the Depart­ ment of Education, is designed to prepare low-income and first gen­ eration college-bound students for university coursework. The ultimate goal of Upward Bound is to “encourage and moti­ vate students to stay in school” and “to prepare them for post­ secondary education,” said Lim Kaiser, academic advisor for Upward Bound. The courses offer assistance in several areas, including academic and personal enrich- Upward Bound student stops and poses for the camera. Pride Photo/Jessica Krone ment classes in math, writ­ ing, literature^ science and SAT preparation. Many cul­ tural, multicultural, recreational and amusement activities are offered as well. Students are required to visit various university cam­ puses and attend a four-week summer session at San Diego State University in order to simulate the college experi­ ence. Kaiser said the program is geared for college success and is designed for students not just to “enter college, but finish.” Student progress is mon­ itored throughout the aca­ demic year. Upward Bound also offers advising for col­ lege and financial aid appli­ cations. Although the courses do not provide any college units, extra credit is applied toward each participant’s high-school stud­ ies. Since the classes are very comprehensive, Upward Bound plans to remain relatively small, serving only 50 students. In reference to the program’s rel­ atively small gatherings, litera­ ture instructor Andrew Phillips explained, “smaller class sizes generally equate to more benefi­ cial results for the students. This program provides a very positive atmosphere for students, parents and definitely faculty ” Tutoring i& mandatory and available at participating schools and at the Upward Bound office (located across the main campus).

They addressed issues of promiscuous sex, religious beliefs, masturbation, pornography, and stereotypes, which provoked students, many of whom responded to Smock’s message. According to a pamphlet, which was circulated during the session, Smock perceives sorority members as “whores” and fraternity members as “whoremongers.” The pamphlet also stated that he condemns all kinds of sins that he believes college students are axnmitiq^ecifically sex and drinking, As the discussion progressed, Smock stated that s t u de n t s are only attending CSUSM because they can’t make » > A r ticle cont. on page 2 Students gather in thefree speech area on Founders Plaza to listen to evangelists on Thursday.

Although some students agreed with the flamboyant style and rather negative methods of free speech demonstrated by the Smock Family, others ignored them or saw it as an excuse to ridicule the family for their beliefs. Even so, the Smock Family succeeded by stirring up a debate and fielding a variety of responses from students. Whatever the case may be, the exhibition opened a heated debate and allowed CSUSM stu­ dents and the Smock family to exercise their freedom to speak.

Some music fans might rec­ ognize the voice of Jonathan Davis, the lead singer of Korn. Using Korn works well for the film due to Korn’s angry and rebellious sound (perfect for Lestat).

The adaptation of Anne Rice’s Queen o f the Damned opened this Friday with a lot of flash and very little substance. The filmmakers placed little importance on the characters’ histories, something Anne Rice has always chronicled in depth throughout the ages in her novels, and instead made a 90-minute MTV video. To be fair, Queen o f the Damned stood out as the odd ball in the vampire chronicles (the first was Interview with the Vampire, which became a hit movie in the 90s). The plot centers around Lestat (Anne Rice’s prover­ bial vampire star), who sud­ denly awakens as a gothic rock star in the late 20th century, defying centuries of vampire laws, and awak­ ens the mother of all vam­ pires.

The concertgoers scream REVIEW �Escape San Marcos: Las Vegas By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer The spring semester is still in its infancy, but if you’re like me, thoughts of vacation have already begun. A reprieve from parking woes, schedule nightmares and cruel syllabi, if only for a couple days, would be enough to main­ tain some sanity until summer (or at least Spring Break). As far as I’m concerned, that’s more than reason enough to justify a jaunt to neon central, Las Vegas. The great thing about Vegas, aside from legalized gambling, complimentary cocktails and afternoon topless revues, is that it’s a low maintenance getaway. A city that’s ready when you are. No need to show up with any schedule or a fanny-pack full of maps and travel guides. It’s more like visiting your parent’s house, you know where everything is and even if you haven’t been there in some time, it doesn’t take long to get comfortable. But before you leave America’s finest city in your dust for a weekend furlough in Sin City, here are some tips that will have you feeling more like a high-roller and less like a starving student. Getting There When people say, “getting there is half the fun,” I assume that the other half is actually up for their weekly ‘click and deal within a single hotel.

The larger vary a great resorts along the Strip have done their best to create a complete, self-contained experience. Gam­ bling, shopping, dining, shows and whatever else they can come up with to keep you (and your money) from stepping outside. This is exactly .why it’s possible to stay at a top-notch hotel for a fraction of the prices offered in other citites. These places know that people end up playing where they’re staying. If you can afford $100 show tickets and $25 hands of black­ jack, then stick around, Siegfried and Roy will be glad to have you. But if you’re on a limited budget, the mega-resorts will have your bankroll dwindling quicker than an Enron 401k. So enjoy the lavish room, the beautiful shops and the impeccable service, but don’t be afraid to seek your enter­ tainment elsewhere. Try the $7.77 steak and shrimp dinner at the Hard Rock Hotel, stop by a concierge desk for 2 for 1 tickets to Harrah’s Improv comedy show ($24.95), play some 25 cent roulette and dollar craps games at Casino Royale or check out the new after-hours club inside the Barbary Coast. Deals and specials on the Strip change frequently, but if you run out of ideas a good cab driver or bellman will always be able to point you in the right direction. One last suggestion for max­ imizing your getaway. Tip. Vegas revolves around gratuity. Room upgrades, better show seats, front of the line at clubs and faster drink service can all be accessed by greasing a few palms. Believe me; twenty bucks to the right person can go a long, long way. And you’ll feel like a big shot, even if it did come out of your financial aid check. Good luck and I’ll see you at the buffets.

March 5 is the official day for Californians to vote in the primary election. The election will determine if many newly proposed state and local proposi­ tions on the ballot will become laws. The state propositions and one local county proposition included on the ballot are: Prop 40 The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act ofi2002 calls for a bond issue of $2.6 billion. The bond will provide funds to protect rivers, lakes, and streams to improve water quality and ensure clean drinking water; to protect beaches and coastal areas threatened by pollution; to improve air quality; to preserve open space and farmland threat­ ened by unplanned development; to protect wildlife habitat; to restore historical and cultural resources; -and to repair and improve the safety of state and neighborhood parks. The California Legislature placed this bond act on the bal­ lot. Its fiscal impact on the state is predicted at about $4.3 billion over 25 years, with an average •cost of about $172 million per year to repay the bonds. The cost for state and local operation and maintenance costs will probably reach tens of millions of dollars annually. If passed, Proposition 40 would allow the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preservation purposes. Proponents of Proposition 40 argue that California should be kept safe and beautiful, and that the measure would also protect the quality of neighborhoods. However, dissenters claim that now is not the time to add $2.6 billion more to California’s debt, since voters already approved $4 billion in bonds for water and parks in 2000. Prop 41 Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2002 (Shelley-Hertzberg Act) is proposed to ensure that every person’s vote is accurately counted. Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, this bond act authorizes the issuance of state bonds, allowing counties to pur­ chase modem voting equipment and replace outdated punch card or chad systems. This act calls for bonds in the amount of $200 million and appropriates money from the General Fund to pay off bonds. The fiscal impact on the state is about $255 million over ten years with an average of about $26 million annually to repay bonds. A one-time county cost of about $67 million statewide for each county to match state funds is a part of the act, and it will also require an additional annual county operating cost in the tens of millions of dollars. If passed, the state could sell $200 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of new voting systems. Supporters of Proposition 41 say that the new high-tech vot­ ing machines would ensure that every vote counts. Non­ supporters argue that Californians should pay for new voting machines with current tax collections, rather than increas­ ing the state’s debt and interest payments. Prop 42 Transportation Congestion Improvement Act. Allocation of Existing Motor Vehicle Fuel Sales and Use Tax Revenues for Transportation Purposes Only proposition requites that exist­ ing revenues, effective July 1, 2003, gained from state sales and use taxes on the sale of motor vehicle fuel be used for trans­ portation purposes as provided by law (until June 30, 2008.) Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, the act requires that, effective on July 1,2008, existing revenue resulting from state sales and use taxes from the sale of motor vehicle fuel would be used for public transit and mass trans­ portation, and improvements. It imposes the requirement for a two-thirds of the legislature to suspend or modify the percent­ age allocation of the revenues. The fiscal impact of this proposition, of about $1.4 billion in state gasoline sales tax rev­ enues, increasing annually there­ after, would continue to be used for state and local transportation purposes starting in 2008-09. If . passed, the State Constitution would require that gasoline sales tax revenues be used annually for state and local transportation purposes begin­ ning in 2003-2004. Proponents argue that gaso­ line sales tax should be used to improve road safety, mass tran­ sit, and traffic reduction without raising taxes. There are 6000 = | to an appointed position. The County Chief Administrative Officer would then appoint the officer. In order to adopt this mea­ sure, a majority vote is required. to stop fraud because insurance fraud creates higher insurance premiums for all, and that the stiffer penalties for second con­ victions of insurance fraud must be put in place. Those arguing against the proposition say the punishment should fit the crime. The only reason a chiropractor should lose his/her license is for harming patients. Financial dishonestyhas nothing to do with medical skill. Prop 4 4 . Prop 45 Chiropractors. Unprofessional Conduct. Legislative Iniative Amendment.

It also requires investigation of The Legislative Term Limits proposition would allow voters to submit petition signatures to permit their incumbent or cur­ rent legislator to run for re-elec­ tion or re-elections and to serve j If passed, Proposition 40 would allow the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preservation purposes. Photo of Carlsbad State Beach. (Pride Photo/Victoria B.Segall) bridges and overpasses that need repair. Opponents qrgue that the proposition has voters voting on something that wouldn’t happen until 2008, which would force a $1.2 billion cut in vital educa­ tion, health care and public safe­ ty to pay for increased spending on transportation. Prop 43 The Right to Have Vote Counted proposition will amend the constitution to ensure that a voter who casts a vote in an election, in accord with the laws of this state,, shall have that vote counted. Placed on the ballot by the Legislature, the proposition’s fiscal impact places no addi­ tional cost on state or local gov­ ernments. If passed, the State Constitution would be amended to affirm the right of a voter to have his/her vote counted. State law would explicitly authorize county election officials to ask the court for an extension of a post-election deadline, allowing for additional time to count votes and would explicitly authorize courts to approve such a request. However, if this measure is adopted, the proposed Charter amendment would not be active immediately because the current treasurer/tax collector is entitled to serve out his four-year term of office, which will expire, at noon on Jan. 6,2003. If passed, the proposition would change the elective office Proposition A: N orth C ounty Voters The Make Treasurer/Tax Collector an Appointive Office proposition aims to amend the San Diego County Charter, changing the treasurer/tax col­ lector from an elected position Supporters contend that the right to vote is meaningless if you cannot be sure that your vote will be counted, and Prop 43 provides voters with a consti­ tutional right to have their votes counted. Opponents say that it will do more harm than good and the problem is not that ballots are not counted, but that special interest groups and giant corporations buy elections. The Pride licensee in certain circumstanc­ es and license revocation upon second conviction, or multiple convictions, of specified insur­ ance fraud offenses. The fiscal impact is negli­ gible of additional state imple­ mentation costs. This measure also projects potential state savings of unknown amounts that would result in lower work­ ers’ compensation and Medi-Cal costs. If passed, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners would be required to revoke a chiro­ practor’s license for a period of 10 years upon his or her convic­ tion of various criminal offenses, including insurance fraud, and will allow an investigation of any licensed chiropractor who is criminally charged with com­ mitting insurance fraud. If the act fails to pass, the Board of Chiropractic Examiners would retain discretion in determining disciplinary action imposed against a licensed chi­ ropractor and determine wheth­ er to investigate licensed chi­ ropractors who are criminally charged with committing insur­ ance fraud. Those arguing for the prop­ osition say that it would help a maximum of four years beyond the terms provided for in the Constitution. Statewide, the fiscal impact could be several hundreds of thousands of dollars every two years to verify voter petition sig­ natures. However, there would be lit­ tle or no state cost to track the eligibility of re-election candi­ dates. If passed, this proposition would allow local registered vot­ ers to petition the secretary of state to permit their incumbent senator or assembly member, who is otherwise ineligible due to term limits, to run for reelection and to serve up to an additional four years. Consequently, a senator could serve a maximum of three four-year terms and an assembly member a maximum of five twoyear terms. Supporters of the proposition say that the measure would riot end term limits but keep term limits in place, which will give voters the option of extending the term of their own lawmaker. Non-supporters believe it would* end term limits in the state. of treasurer/tax collector to an appointed office, regardless of the results in the election for treasurer/tax collector position on March 5* Those arguing for Prop A say that the position of treasurer/tax collector has enormous respon­ sibilities and is the only county official with the ability to singlehandedly bankrupt the county, as proven by Orange County a few years ago. Arguments against Prop A are that voters should decide on their treasurer/tax collector and not let the San Diego County Board of Supervisors appoint someone to this position. This would eliminate the indepen­ dence of the retirement system and school hands by giving more control and power to the board of supervisors. �Oceanskks US CONGRESS District 50 sentatives.

Whether those of you who have responded to her letter agree or disagree with her position, we feel the letter raises some inter­ esting questions that we all might want to consider. It goes without saying that each of us is here for one reason or another, the term “higher edu­ cation” is one that cannot be easily defined. We’ve run stu­ dent editorials in the past that attacked the academic institution and all it stands for, and we’ve also printed pieces praising all that comes with an investment in an academic environment, its proponents and its values. What does higher education mean to you? What is your learn­ ing curve? Is the institution successful if it moves students through the system by means of assigning grades that cannot ever truly be objective and award­ ing degrees to those who jump through the hoops strategically set up for them? Or rather, should we focus on the individual who shows up for the classes, takes the exams and learns to survive The Pride denced by the varied opinions expressed in these pages. Con­ sider Professor X’s class. Was it a success? A complete failure? Apparently, it was controversial; E D IT O R IA L on whatever means he or she deems necessary to do so? And can we really measure “learning” by an age-old 5-letter or number system? Again, the answers to these questions must be purely sub­ jective. The vast array of differ­ ent perceptions about a particular situation or event is surely evi­ many of you have reacted strongly, and this fact alone is indicative of the fact that the class affected students strongly. „ Perhaps some of the questions we all might benefit from are the following: Are we assigned grades? Or Do We earn them? How much does the professor really have to do with what we publication. learn and how we learn it? If we “earn” our grade, and it reflects our mastery of the material-whatever that means-do we consider ourselves better off, whether we receive an “A” or a “C” for a grade? If The Pride has raised far more questions than offered answers, then we’ve done our job. Why are you here? What do you hope to get out of your encounter with an institution of higher learning? And how much of the outcome will you hold yourself responsible for? And if you find these strange questions, we ericouragfc you to seek out the answers. Here’stoyour journey. tetephone number, e-mail and publish letters.

As a consequence, not only will your identity be taken away from you, but your life will be also. Imagine how you would feel if you tried to apply for a home loan and the consultant explained to you that you were not quali­ fied because you were $20,000 dollars in debt with credit cards you don’t even own. Whose decision was it to make our social security num­ bers available to the public? Why didn’t the administration choose a magnetic strip or a bar-code? Most of the time we are asked to give our- student identifi­ cation number when we are requesting confidential material. The administration doesn’t check our student ID cards, they ask to see photo ID instead. So why is the number there if it has no sig­ nificant purpose? Now think: for a moment, for an institution that cares so much about our education, our future, and the safety of its students why have they taken the secu­ rity of our identity for granted? How much do you value your identity?

Last September 2000, the president campaigned on his honesty and virtue as opposed to Clinton’s lack thereof. He proudly announced that if elected president he would strongly veto any bill to send nuclear waste to an interim storage site in Nevada, only 90 miles from pop­ ulous Las Vegas. Now Bush says a central dis­ posal site for nuclear waste inyes- that state of Nevada “is nec­ essary to protect public safety, health and this nation’s secu­ rity.” No veto, but a proud sig­ nature on the bill instead. Dick Cheney, speaking at Miramar, has reaffirmed George’s honesty for us to ponder. The vice presi­ dent said he thinks most “Amer­ icans find it reassuring to have a commander in chief (who) tells the truth and means exactly what he says.” Perhaps Cheney meant Bush doesn’t exactly know what the truth is.

For many students, Profes­ sor X’s course serves as a rude awakening, a bright light that exposes their lack of knowledge and research skills. But that does not mean failure. Professor X encourages intellectual growth and provides students with an effective study process that we can later personalize to fit our taste. In fact, Professor X takes a genuine interest in her students as individuals. She invites stu­ dents to engage in discussion out­ side the classroom-Over coffee, over lunch, or in small groups in her fairly cramped office. If you aspire to teach, attend grad school, or simply desire your degree to have substance, we encourage you to take a class with Professor X. You will have several opportunities to sharpen your speaking and thinking skills, gauge your ability, and gain a solid foundation for future study.

Personally, I think that the Canadians won, not because because they were better than the Russians; rather, it’s because I pre­ ferred the Canadians. Many of these type of events are so judgemental and so controversial that they should be considered not as a sport but as an artis­ tic event. I believe that anything that cannot be quantified should fall under the artistic category and not as asport. For example, the winner of a soccer game is the one who scored the most. That’s clear cut and generally indisputable. On foe other hand, a gymnast doing the parallel bar should be considered as an artist because scoring is strictly in the eyes of the beholder. Other exam­ ples of sporting events are: bobsled, ice hockey, track, baseball, whereby judgement are based on the transition of actual numerical values such as high or low, first or second, more or less, in or out. Of course sometimes some sort of judgment call is used such as the case of instant replays in football. But these are th exceptions. Events I consider as more of an art rather than sport are: surfing, figure skating, diving, gymnastics, and even boxing, if none of the opponents get knock down. My point is that it is grossly unfair and disheartening for many of these particpants who spend all their efforts and much of their reources over long periods in their quest for victory, just to flat over some judge’s atti­ tude and demeanor.

The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking stu­ dent writing representing inquiry and research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM. Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. Refer­ ences to critical literature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be con­ sidered. . Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the fol­ lowing instructions. For judging and layout purposes: Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail, phone number, and major or graduate field of study to: The Pride Mailbox “Student and Residential Life” Office Commons 207 Also: E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pflde@csusm.edu. Entries sub­ mitted without an electronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or disks will not be returned. Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. For further information, contact The Pride office by e-mail at pride@csusm.edu, or by phone at (760) 750-6099; or by fax at (760) 750-3345.

According to Knoblock, other options include expanding stack parking and exploring the possibility of converting to diag­ onal lots. Knoblock stressed that the zoned system was only one of many options, and said that the zoning proposal was presented, as opposed to any other, because it “was the only one drafted from beginning to end.” Parking Ser­ vices will bring in a consultant to analyze the practicality and financial considerations involved in expanding and/or restructur­ ing parking. When asked if the proposal favored higher-income students and families, Knoblock said, “We had fair and equitable goals [when looking at parking options] and we felt that by having dif­ ferent prices available, students would be able to make their own selection. We’re consider­ ing not using the word ‘pro­ posal’ anymore, because it’s a sensitive topic; this involves peo­ ple’s money.” Francine Martinez, vice pres­ ident for Student Affairs and chair of the Student Fee Advi­ sory Committee (SFAC), also confirmed that there is no official proposal at this time. While no “official” proposal is under con­ sideration, Knoblock said that, in the future, a parking struc­ ture would be necessary as there are only 2,521 spaces available on campus, and more than 6,000 students and 1,000 faculty/staff members. “Parking Services is self­ supported; we don’t receive any money from the state,” said Kno­ block, and “building a structure, » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 Vol. X No. 3/ Tuesday, February 19,2002 E :r.

P ride Photo/James Newell By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Student Health Services and the Peer Education and Support (PEAS) organization set up a table in Founders Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday to pro­ mote sexual awareness as part of nation-wide Sexual Respon­ sibility Week, which ended on National Condom Day, or as most know it, Valentine’s Day. * “We’re not trying to promote sexual activity, but if people-are having sex, we want them to be responsible and safe,” said Cathy Nguyen, health educator at Stu­ dent Health Services. “And we want them to know abstinence is also a healthy choice.” Nguyen paired up with Janeth Orellana, a freshman peer edu­ cator with Student Health Ser­ vices, to provide student-friendly sexual health information and to address the connections between alcohol abuse and unhealthy choices. The table was filled with pamphlets on STD prevention, Student Health Services infor­ mation and condoms. The con­ doms were wrapped with artwork reflecting the winning submis­ sions from an annual contest sponsored by the California Family Health Council. “Let’s get stocked up,” said sophomore Brandon Koolhaas, as he took advantage of the free condoms in preparation for his Valentine festivities. Nguyen and Orellana also had a “spin to win” game for students to play. After spinning the wheel, students were asked a question, like, ‘What is abstinence?’ ‘What is the best method to prevent an STD?’ ‘Is withdrawal a good birthcontrol method?’ If participants answered correctly, they were offered their choice of either “How do I love thee?” poetry magnets or the quite popular condom rose, which came with STD hotline numbers and a reminder to practice safe sex. “Condom roses are a great idea, especially for Valentine’s Day,” said freshman Janene Davis as she strolled through Founder’s Plaza with friend Vanessa Hayes, roses in hand. Organizers of the two-day event gave away eight dozen long-stemmed condom roses, and more than 300 regular condoms. When asked for his thoughts on the event, student Jon Eckrich said, “You know, I love it. I’ve never used a condom, but I’m going to now.” Student Health Services pro­ vides women’s health exams, STD screening, birth-control options counseling and prescrip­ tions, emergency contraceptive pills (the “morning after pill”), pregnancy testing, HIV testing, and other services, which are paid for with student health fees. » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 ASI Hosts Breakfast in Celebration of Black History Month By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor After a moment of silence in memory of Henry Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder who died in a car accident Thursday morning, student Crystal Rodriguez asked the listeners to join her in singing the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson, to open Friday’s Black History Month Breakfast. Acting master of ceremonies and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard then welcomed everyone to this year’s event, which fea­ tured keynote speaker Dr. Sharon Whitehearst-Payne, an adminis­ trator in the San Diego Unified > ^ f School District with 30 years teaching experience. “I love San Diego County because of its diversity, its rain­ bow of people,” said Whitehearst-Payne. A graduate of Duke I University, Whitehearst-Payne / focused her speech on three areas: diversity, giving back to the com­ munity and her faith in Jesus Christ. She grew up in an exclu­ sively African-American com­ munity and attended grades K-12 at an all African-American school. “What can you outpour into some else’s life? When you die, what will they say about you?” Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey asked Whitehearst-Payne. “I am one of four girls, and our goal was to deny the myth that black women have babies out of wed\lock and go on welfare. All four of us have.a minimum of a mas­ ter’s degree.” Both President Alexander Gonzalez and Associated Students, Inc.

According to that article, stu­ dents would have the opportu­ nity to purchase parking for $14 a month under the “Zoned Park­ ing System.” Knoblock said the information was incorrect; stu­ dents would not, if the proposal at any time becomes official, be able to purchase a parking pass for Zone 3, which would have comprised lots B, N and O. The proposed $14 a month parking area would be for faculty and staff only. If and when any other parking proposals, or options, are negotiated, Parking Services must submit a proposal to the SFAC at least a week and a half prior to any presentation of P rom oting Black History Month B reakfast such a proposal, according to Knoblock. “We really encourage people to come to Parking Ser­ vices, in person, if they have a problem,” said Knoblock. “We take our suggestion forms very seriously and respond to each individually.” Knoblock also encouraged students to find out what other areas Parking Services is involved in. “We handle the free shuttle and stack parking, and we lease 160 spaces at San Marcos Ambulatory Care to handle over­ flow parking. We also handle the bike lockers and the carpbol pro­ gram.” Safer Sex jtfeet m vjawry H {5H4MJ Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey “This breakfast is important »> A rticle cont. from pg. 1 “I encourage you all to get because as students we can unite involved.

He was also one of the last of his people who could still speak the Luiseiio language, spoken by the original inhabitants of the Pauma Valley and Palomar Mountain area. “Uncle Henry” also over­ saw the La Jolla Reservation. According to teachers from the La Jolla’s Fox Outdoor School, Rodriguez taught students that “The Luiseiio people who lived here did not have a word for ‘good-bye’ — for to say ‘good-bye’ meant forever. “Uncle Henry,” a father of five and a grandfather of “too many to count,” became the first Native American to be honored by the Cal State San Marcos campus. The CSU system, and CSUSM, pre­ sented Rodriguez with an hon­ orary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in June of 2001. Rodriguez was a commu­ nity consultant at CSUSM since the university’s inception. He helped organize the university’s annual Pow Wow, blessed the commencement ceremonies, and participated in Indian graduation ceremonies as well as the univer­ sity’s time-capsule celebration. Rodriguez served as an important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture. In reel-to-reel tapes beginning in the 1940s, Rodri­ guez captured traditional Luiseiio songs that Grossmont College is preserving. He has served as chairman of the La Jolla “Uncle Henry ” F all 2001 P ride Photo Band of Mission Indians and was instrumental in establishing the Southern California Inter­ tribal Council, now the California Tribal Chairmen’s Association. Since the 1940s, Rodriguez had been a major contributor to California Indian politics and is a national authority on Indian water rights. One of the found­ ers of the San Luis Rey Water Authority, he served as president and served on the board of direc­ tors. He continued to work with California and United States fed­ eral authorities on environmen­ tal protection, repatriation, and health legislation, and was instru­ mental in bringing Indian health­ care to California reservations. Rodriguez was also an active pro­ ponent of Native A m erican-Indian education. He helped bring the “Head Start” pro­ gram to a number of reservations, and served as a board member and con­ sultant in a number of school districts, developing curric­ ulum with more accurate represen­ tations of local Indian people.

The message focused on keeping your goals on the posi­ tive side of life. How much would you pay to change the course of your life? Do you think that it’s possible for a mere 25 cents? According to Martin, all it took was 25 cents and a few miracles along the way. Martin became famous about two years ago when his life was spotlighted as a part of the Hollywood movie “The Hurri­ cane.” The movie tells of Martin’s involvement in helping to free Rubin “The Hurricane” Carter from wrongful imprisonment. During the speech, Martin identified himself as his greatest obstacle to success, and once he was able to let go of fear he was able to let miracles enter his life.

And, in almost every musical number, the cast was thrashing and flailing to syn­ chronize their dance steps. Very well done Plaids, I loved it! Directed by Scott Dreier, a former Plaid when the show ran at the Theatre in Old Town, “Forever Plaid” tells; the story of four high school geeks who met in the Audio Visual Club and started a boy band: The Plaids. In 1964, they were on their way to their first major gig when they were killed in a car accident. Now, 38 years later, they have been given the chance to return to earth and perform the show they never made it to in life. Admittedly, they’re a little rusty, a little ner­ vous and have forgotten most of their moves. Still, throughout the show, it’s clear that they never forgot the thrill of performing or their lyrics. The rich voices of Frankie, - Sparky, Jinx and Smhdge combine in amazing harmony. The repertoire of favorites, arranged by James Raitt, come from their era and include: “Lady of Spain,” “Heart and Soul,” “Day-O,” “Moments to Remember,” “She Loves You,” and “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” Through what Martin calls King Live, Oprah, and to the his second miracle, he read “The United Nations.

Once a practicing lawyer, courage to attempt the ridiculous Martin has appeared on Larry can achieve the impossible.” I took a group of high school students to the see the show, and they all thought it was “pretty cool.” The audience was diverse, from the elementary age to (if I had to guess) ninety, and the show kept us all laughing. But you have to take responsibility; if you want to spend the evening laughing, pay close attention to what the actors are doing, even when they are not in the spot­ light. As the playbill says, this show “.. .is dedicated to the guys who saved their allowance to give their par­ ents a special night on the town for their anniversary,;, .and to the guys who never went beyond first base, and if they did, they didn’t tell anyone. We salute you.” It sounds like “Revenge of the Nerds: The Musical,’’ but really, these guys are returning to earth with the attitudes of a sincere and seemingly simple era. The show was written and choreographed by Stuart Ross and has a similar format to his other four-man show, “Triple Espresso,” which has been play­ ing in San Diego’s Gas Lamp District for several years. Over­ all, “Forever Plaid” does not measure up to the modern day and absurd hilarity of “Triple Espresso,” but it does provide two hours of wholesome humor. I give it an A-. “Forever Plaid” is playing at Vista’s intimate little theatre, the AVO. It runs until Feb. 24, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tick­ ets are $16.00.

" Sl ac ker s " By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer If you are looking for tactics on how to cheat on your next exam or strategies on how to win the boy or girl of your dreams, then you can go to the nearest college, using elaborate scams and cons that have worked for them. The 3 “slackers” are con­ fronted with complications when Dave makes the mistake of taking Ethan’s (Jason Schwartz- REVIEW REVIEW Photo Courtesy o f www.imdb.com multiplex and purchase a ticket to see the movie “Slackers.” This fragmented comedy introduces the audience to three college students, Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna) who have cheated their way through of this evidence and uses it to blackmail Dave and his friends to either hook him up with Angela, the girl of his dreams, or get kicked out of school. In compliance with Ethan’s terms, the boys do what­ ever it takes to find out what interests Angela. However, despite all the information gathered, socially awkward Ethan doesn’t have a chance, especially since Dave and Angela begin falling in love. Social conflicts then arise, which leave Dave alone, as trust issues between the three­ some temporarily break them up, and Angela leaves him after being convinced that he is a liar. The film closes with Ethan’s blackmail scheme backfiring on him, and Dave finds the courage, with the help of his friends to come clean and tell - Angela the truth and how much he loves her. A .typical closure you would expect from a teen comedy. What is hilarious about “Slackers” are the erotic scenes involving Ethan and 2 girls at once, Ethan’s hair doll and Ethan’s romantic late night ser­ enade to Angela. The one evident problem in the movie is that the plot is very disjointed. Although at times the gags were funny, they were out of place and made the story drag on.

But what we didn’t know is that after taking a three-year break from the spot­ light, she is back from a period of growth and self-evolution, ready to release her new 17-track CD titled “Full Moon.” “In the past three years, I’ve focused on getting to know who I am inside. I took a break to reflect on myself as a person and I’ve grown a lot. There was a side of me that I’ve known and people close to me have known, which was different from the public image of who I was,” said Brandy. “Full Moon” is Brandy’s third Photo Courtesy o f www.foreverbrandy.com Book JOSEPH SANCHEZ For the Pride This is a belated review of a book that hopefully many of you are already familiar with. But after finally getting my hands on a copy, I feel compelled to say all I can about the impor­ tance of reading this book. I first heard about the book on National Public Radio (NPR) last year and was shocked by the tales of abuse and negligence that author Eric Schlosser says he discovered in the fast-food industry. Most of us can probably remember the E coli outbreak associated with tainted meat sold at a Jack in the Box in Seattle a Fast Review few years back. What we don’t know is that all the meat products for all fast-food restaurants (with a few notable exceptions) come from the same few unsanitary meat-processing plants. After the Jack in the Box incident, 35 million pounds of ground beef were recalled, most of which had already been consumed. This is only one of numer­ ous instances of the worst kind of industry neglect that Schlosser details. Even more shocking is the claim he makes on page 218 that “for years some of the most questionable ground beef in the United States was purchased by the USDA—and then distributed to school cafeterias throughout the country.” For those of you who recognize the eerie similar­ ity between such incidents and others, which occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, involving rotten meat given to Native Americans - I remind you that this was hap­ pening in the 80s and 90s and now continues, into the twentyfirst century. In 1999, the USDA continued to purchase meat from a plant that allowed as much as 47 per­ cent of its beef to contain Salmonella. The company that owned this plant is one of the largest suppliers of public school’s meal programs in the nation. The situation gets even worse Beauty Behind Bars By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer The romantic fairy tale image of 1001 Arabian nights has long been stripped of its innocence, and recent events have evoked many provocative questions about Middle-Eastern countries. Cul­ tural differences are clashing, and sadly, fear might affect many of us when we think about the Arabian world. And yet, there is a rich and spiritual culture hidden behind the violent and sad images that are brought into our homes by the media. A culture, which opposes many* Western ideas of freedom, has triggered a sense of fascination and curiosity: What Pride Photo/Sybille Herwig is it like living in a country that faces unbearable poverty? What is it like living under a system that denies women their freedom and dignity? I tried to answer these questions for myself by taking a trip to Yemen in 1998. The people of Yemen strictly follow the Islam faith; thus, it can be strange for a first- time visitor to see women covered from top to toe, barely showing their eyes. But traveling means getting to know and understand different cultures, so approaching this trip with an open mind helped rfte to deal with the sometimes-shock­ ing pictures of starving children and oppressed women, and, at the same time, enjoy the beauty Yemen has to offer. My adventure started with a rough plane trip from A1 Hudaydah to Sana’a, which is one of Yemen’s main tourist attractions. Sana’a is located in the midwest region of the country and has been recognized as the mecca of the Arab nation’s cultural heri­ tage. According to Yemenis, the city is one of the "first sites of human settlement, founded by Noah’s son, Shem. But what makes Sana’a really special is the amazing architecture of the approximately 400-year-old houses, as well as the largest preserved medina in the Arab world. Another must-see stop is the central market, Souq-al-Milh, which has a local atmosphere and provides vivid insight into the social life of the Yemenis. The crowded, narrow streets make it hard to stay oriented, but experiencing the market’s hustle and bustle makes getting lost an exciting mistake. The air is filled with the aroma of odd spices, raisins and vegetables, and the voices of loud salesmen selling their goods. Some of the most popular products available are daggers. But no worries! They do not serve.as weapons, but rather as fashion statements. Daggers are part of the traditional attire, and Yemeni men carry them as casually as American men wear tjes. The more splendid the show­ piece, the more ceremonious the occasion. While I was wandering through the streets of Sana’a, I noticed a recurrent trend: the swollen cheeks of the men, appar­ ently caused by their constant chewing and spitting. Fortu­ nately, these cheeks were not the result of a universal toothache; they were filled with leaves of the^ Quat plant. Quat is a mild, nonaddictive stimulant, which makes one lively and chatty, although after a while one might become TRAVEL _ album for Atlantic records. The album, scheduled for release on March 5, includes work from pro­ ducers Warren Campbell, Keith Crouch, Mike City, and Rodney Jerkins, who together contributed to extending Brandy’s musical talent to the next level. The chemistry between these producers flourishes throughout “Full Moon,’- giving us a taste of classic quiet storm, pulsating, melodic hip-hop beats, and R&B smoothness. The album draws from a more edgy side of Brandy in songs like “When You Touch Me,” “Come A Little Closer,” and Brandy’s current single, “What About Us?” While it touches on everyday issues and emotions, her music shows how she has grown both mentally and spiritu­ ally. *. Food Nation as Schlosser examines the work­ ing conditions in the meat- pro­ cessing plants. In tones and' images that echo Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle, Schlosser takes us right into the nauseating world that provides us with our convenient 99- cent hamburgers. In his examination of the industry, Schlosser points to meatpacking as the most danger­ ous job in the U.S. The book truly exposes the horrifying toll of destroyed lives and families due to one simple fact: greed. The majority of workers are unskilled immigrants who don’t speak Eng­ lish and are easily intimidated by workman’s compensation forms and insurance applications, which SS§ v-'\ “Before, I didn’t know who I was\ or what I liked to do or understand the love that I really had for music. I think on this album, you cart tell through the vocals and creativity that it’s just different. It’s because I’m more into me now so I can bring me into the music,” said Brandy. “It represents who I am and what I am and where I am.” As a result, this album has carried Brandy through her chal­ lenging period of growth and into a new state of being, giving us great music. “I’ve come full circle, made a 360 degree change in my life, and rediscovered my love for music and hey, crazy things happen during a FULL MOON,” said Brandy. *Quotes Courtesy of Atlan­ tic Records suits the corporate heads just fine. The irony is that the dollar is the bottom line for more than just the stereotyped, greedy corpo­ rate executive - there is also the “Fast Food Nation,” which wants its one-dollar hamburger. But, as Schlosser points out in his study, even In-N-Out’s high wages and fresh food don’t nec­ essarily equate with an expensive or a slower product. The beauty of this book is that it is so rel­ evant to everyone. It is a fasci­ nating and thoroughly enjoyable read. m V ' *> §!

P ride Photo/Sybille Herwig mellow and contemplative (at least these were my observations of my local Quat-chewing tour guide.) Unlike in other Arabic coun­ tries, Quat is legal in Yemen, and it plays a big* role in the Yemenis’ social life. Of course, only men are allowed to engage in this pleasure, and they most likely do that while either drink­ ing tea together or walking hand in hand through town. Yes, I know what you think! But in Yemen, holding hands is an expression of friendship. The fact that any spark of affection between men and women is for­ bidden in public might explain this custom. But there are times for coed celebrations, which I recognized while attending a wedding reception on my way cross-country, from Sana’a to Aden. Under the hot Arabian sun, a young couple celebrated their new bond on a ledge, overlooking a gorgeous valley. The joy of this occasion was expressed not only by music and dance, but also by ‘friendly’ machine-gun fire. Fur­ thermore, falcons demonstrated their amazing arial abilities for their proud owners and guests. It was an unforgettable experi­ ence to be part of this tradition, especially when I was asked to provide my arm as a take-off and landing spot for these great birds. Visiting Yemen is like travel­ ing back in time. The sights and landscape reminded me of Bibli­ cal stories and inspired a sense of nostalgia. But these dreamy feelings are extinguished very quickly, as soon as the poverty of this country becomes appar­ ent. Who else could be a sadder example of this suffering than » > A rticle cont. on page 5 �C anadian Pairs Skaters Receive Gold after Controversy By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor The Olympic figure skating events over the last week in Salt Lake City have been as controver­ sial as the 1994 Winter Olympics scandal involving Nancy Kerri­ gan and Tonya Harding. Last Monday night in the final exer­ cises of the pairs figure skating competition, the Russian team of Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze was awarded the gold medal, despite the outcries of experts across the world who were certain that the Canadian team of Jamie Sale and David Pel­ letier should have taken the gold. An investigation of the judges began almost immediately, and after a week of investigation and the suspension of the* French judge, a second gold medal was awarded at a press conference on Friday. This is the fourth time that the IOC has awarded a second gold medal. In 1993, the IOC awarded a second gold medal from the Barcelona Games in synchronized swimming. The executive board agreed that Canada’s Sylvie Frechette was placed second because of a judg­ ing error that occurred when a Brazilian judge was not allowed to change a score that she mistyped, into her computer. However, the second gold medal is not a provision in the Inter­ national Skating Union (ISU) rules. In a press conference Friday, ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta insisted that the extraordinary situation con­ cerning the scandal called for a change of regulations in order to accommodate the circum­ stances. "We are happy that justice was done ... this was not some­ thing against [Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze], it was something against the system,” said Pel­ letier. He also took a moment to intentionally divert the spot­ light to other Canadian athletes who had won medals in the last couple of days while everyone was paying attention to him and Canadians Received Gold Medals Photo Courtesy o f http://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp Sale. “This is not what the Olympics are supposed to be about,” said Jamie Sale, politely reminding reporters why the two athletes are in Salt Lake City. In both singles and pairs figure skating, skaters are judged on more technical elements jumps, spins, spirals, and land­ ings - while ice dancing is judged more subtly, on rhythm, fotftwork, and style. The controversy this year may have begun in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Four years ago, the ISU suspended the Canadian and Ukrainian judges when the Canadian ice dancing team claimed that the Russians and the French conspired to keep them from winning a medal. It has been known for several years in the figure skating community that many of the judges have their decisions made long before the actual competi­ tion. The IOC has tried to prevent corruption in the past by choosing judges for the events only a few hours before* competition, instead of a few months before. In Salt Lake City, however, facilities were not available for a large pool of judges, and therefore the judges had to be chosen several months ago. Olympic judging has been under intense scrutiny for years, involving figure skating and ice dancing, as well as syn­ chronized swimming and rhyth­ mic gymnastics in the Summer Olympics. The IOC has been working oil developing more technical measures of judging, and even discussed eliminating the more artistic sports from the Olympics altogether. Few deci­ sions have been made.

Pride Staff Writer Restaurant Row for C ommuters By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer It’s almost the middle of the third week of school and for some of you it must really suck having to commute from southern San Diego and Orange County. Especially if ypu have one of those scattered schedules/ You might be able to identify with the fol­ lowing scenario: arriving at school on Monday morning at 8 a m , only to have to wait around for your next class, which begins at 1 p.m., and finally, your last class, which begins at 6 p.pi. You already drive an hour or more every morning in traffic. It’s not worth driving home only to come back a couple of hours later. May I suggest some other choices. Instead of sitting around campus, wasting time, take off for a few hours. Attending CSUSM puts you right in the middle of fun and entertainment. Jump on the 78 west and exit at San Marcos Boulevard. Turn left onto San Marcos Boulevard, drive just a couple miles, and to your right you’ll find “Restaurant Row.” It’s a couple of blocks encompassing a variety of tasteful restaurants. You can enjoy some Mexican food at Acapulco’s, or seafood at Fish House Vera Cruz, and Rockin’ Baja Lobster. Maybe you feel like a little Italian food, so go to Bru­ no’s. Or you could be in the mood for nice, juicy ribs at Tony Roma’s. And if all you want is a burger and fries, then walk into Burger’s & Brew, tell Drew I said hi and please~say hello to the beautiful bartender for me. If you are stressed and want some relief have a beer or glass of wine. Just don’t get drunk; remember you have to come back. If you are not hungry and not in the mood for spirits, go next door and watch a movie at the beautiful Edwards Cinema. Watch the latest new flicks, like “Count of Monte Gristo” or, for you romantics, “A Walk to Remember.” For those of you who are adven­ turous, head east to Escondido. Here, you can go to Dixon Lake to fish, rent a boat or mountain bike, and there are plenty of other activities. Or, go play paintball at Mr. Paintball’s. And if you head west, keep going until you hit the beach. Just take the 78 west, which turns into West Vista Way. Walk on the beach, or suit up and get wet. For your shopping convenience, there are two malls close by, Plaza El Camino Real in Carlsbad, off the 78, and North County Fair in Escondido, off the 15. Hopefully, some of these ideas will help you with your long days this semester. Fun is at your reach within a small radius. If this does not help, then you can always go to the library and study. �T he Pride ^ C l lc r!^ The Parking Proposal I am a mature adult student and have been a full-time student for four out of five semesters. When are the students of this University going to “WAKE-UP?” The entire proposal is, as most other decisions, an AMBUSH! The Parking Proposal [hereafter: Proposal] was created over the break and when the majority of frill-time students are enjoying a holiday break. This proposal is not only outrageous; it is an insight in to how students are treated with disrespect and disconcern. The administration’s attitude appears to be at first blush, “they will be gone by the time it becomes an issue to deal with ... ”The Proposal, simply put, shows how the bi-furcation of Campus Police supervised parking vs. the “Parking (dis) Services” has been in control of the wrong person/s, who now display the fact that they cannot manage the money that is collected. There are numerous examples: [1J current signs that are displayed in Handicap parking are not the proper signs, which violates the California Vehicle Code and Federal Law, [2] there are not enough Handicapped parking spaces in the correct lots, which is old news and again ignored and unchanged by the “Parking powers,” [3] the Parking Enforcement persons were either led to believe, or took it upon themselves to assume, that they had the powers of a Police Officer and proceeded to violate students rights of privacy and make demands under the color of law. Only after being confronted with the errors and the fact that the “Red Shirts,” or Parking Enforcement persons* are not even qualified as limited peace officers [California Penal Code 830 et. siq.] has this legal action subsided. Director D. Knoblock has been privy to these and other major problems for over three semesters, yet they remain either ignored or unchanged. There are other numerous incidents that I have been privy to, and I am only one student, on campus a few days a week. There are almost 6,500 students currently enrolled. How many other stories are out there of misconduct and misuse of student parking funds, all for the pleasure of one or two persons? Using the approximate 6,500 students and their parking fees of $62, that amounts to over $400,000 per semester, and of course not everyone buys a parking sticker. Where does that money go, Director D. Knoblock? The proposal is poorly thought out. The hiring of a Parking Services Engineer, or whatever his title, was a step toward the right direction; unfortunately the result was not student-oriented. In fact the rumor is that, as part of the new plan the “shuttie service” will be discontinued, This was the only thing visible that the Parking fees provided, I have had to walk from the lot closest to Escondido, the far east lot. Without the shuttleservice, students would ftave to walk close to one mile to class, I have heard other students say that other schools and universities have poorer parking conditions than are proposed, Wejl, I did not go to that other school because of that consideration and others, including the drive to San Diego at 6:30 a.m. According to The Pride article, which was the first time any of the regular students heard of the Proposal, “the university will be in the red” in two years. I personally believe that an audit of the Parking Services is in order, before the increase of student parking fees is forced down the throat of the current students, The limitation of student votes to four, with most of the student government taking those voting seats, is wrong. Even the lack of opinions in this matter shows the conscious disregard for the input of students, which is the norm that I’ve seen since I attended. CSUSM has now taken the position that students are “customers.” Well I am one very unhappy “customer,” and I know that I am not alone. Ambushing the general student population and limiting the voting seem typical of the administration. Progress is not the answer; it is the problem, when it goes on without balance! This proposal seems to be Pyrrhic victory, R. Bell C o n d o le n c e s T o A ll W ho G rieve U n cle H e n r y To Whom It May Concern: I want to send my condolences to those in the CSUSM commu­ nity that are grieving for their loss of “Uncle” Henry Rodriguez. I only spoke with him a few times over the phone and in person, but he touched my heart. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great person. I can’t imagine how those who knew him well must feel. My heart goes out to all of you, but especially to those who never got the chance to meet him. Melanie Addington Graduate Student Tuesday, February 19,2002 7 Literature and Writing Department As a former student of Liter­ ature and Writing at CSUSM, I feel the need to write about what I think is an injustice to future Literature and Writing students. We all know about the lack of evening classes offered in the Literature and Writing major as well as the infrequency of core requirement classes being offered, but this is worse. This is about poor teaching of those core classes. Last spring, I had the misfor­ tune of having a certain Profes­ sor X teach a core requirement course. The class was poorly organized with too much mate­ rial to be grasped in 16 weeks (much of it theory), with a pro­ fessor with little knowledge of the subject being taught. Profes­ sor X intimidated students when we asked questions, papers and exams were graded with little indication of how the professor arrived at the final grade, and worse, we were constantly being put into groups to basically teach ourselves the material. Although I have had other professors (good professors) use this latter tech­ nique, we always had input and guidance from our instructor when we presented our “knowl­ edge” to the rest of the class. This was not the case with Professor X. I tried to speak with Pro­ fessor X about my unhappiness with the class, but she was unre­ sponsive and said “don’t worry, you are doing fine.” Evidently, S tu d e n ts A s C u sto m e r s It has been rumored that there has been a shift in the manner in which faculty should view their students: students are to be regarded perhaps as cus­ tomers and we, as faculty, must be more conscious of the realm of customer satisfaction. The pro­ posed change in parking— the faculty lot being available to whosoever can pay the most while we, in no position of influ­ ence, search for spaces in the far reaches of the campus so that our customers can be happy— brings the above rumor closer to real­ ity. I am so very grateful for that clarification as to my— fellow and faculty’s— position on campus. Susan Fellows LTWR I wasn’t (I got my only “C” in my CSUSM career), and neither was Professor X. We students heard that the chairperson of our department spoke to Professor X about the many complaints, but nothing changed. My classmates and I agreed that the workload, the lack of pedagogy, and the anxiety asso­ ciated with the class, made us never want to have Professor X again. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Professor X again. This fall (my last at CSUSM), I was thrilled that all of the final courses that I would need to graduate were being taught in the evening and Professor X was not teaching any of them. Of course, that was not to be. At the last minute, Professor X subbed in to teach a core require­ ment course that I was taking. My friends, who had also had Professor X, urged me to drop the course, take it in the spring with someone else, and just grad­ uate one semester later. I debated for a long time about this course, but I was determined to finish school this fall, and I gave Professor X the benefit of the doubt. It was the wrong decision. The workload was enormous (20 books to read in 16 weeks, 2 tenpage papers, 10 two-page papers, and both a two-day midterm and two-day final exam), the professor was obviously lacking the qualifications to teach this course, students were again intimidated and grades were derived from some ethereal reasoning that none of the stu­ dents understood (we were told AFTER the midterm exam what the professor MEANT by a ques­ tion worth 50% of the points, when what she asked on the exam was vastly different). I could continue with many examples of the injustices, intim­ idation, and lack of pedagogy that was the norm in Professor X’s classroom, but you must understand my point by now. I was torn about what to do about this professor: say, “Who cares, at least I am finished with school,” and “What about the students yet to come through this program?” CSUSM is a good school with great literature and writing professors who have a lot to offer their students. I feel cheated out of the two classes taught by Professor X. I was overwhelmed, discouraged, and I learned very little on subjects that are important to my major and ultimately to my pursuits in graduate school. Why is Profes­ sor X still teaching these upper -division courses? It is a shame that future students may have to endure what so many of us already have when Professor X’s evaluations were surely not posi­ tive ones. What recourse does a student have in this situation? Katja Tonsky T he Parking Proposal To the Editors: Parking Services would like to add to The Pride article (New Parking Proposal Will Increase Fees) printed on Feb. 12, 2002. The proposal addressed in the article is only ONE of many options that we are exploring to match the projected increase in faculty, staff, and students. Some of the other options we are looking at range from increas­ ing the number of carpool spaces, providing a bus pass subsidy program for our NCTD (North County Transit District) ridership, to purchasing addi­ tional bike racks and bike lock­ ers. We are also looking at diagonal parking vs. traditional straight-in parking spaces. We encourage our campus commu­ nity to send us any suggestions, comments, and recommen­ dations to www.csusm.edu/ parking or drop in at FCB 107 and give us your input. Thank you and we continue to look forward to working with our campus community. Dora R. Knoblock, Director o f Campus Enterprises. 760-750-7500 Bush, Light, and The World Bush is spending the multi­ lateralism of the past like a kid with a nickel in a candy store. Hiroshima cast a pall over the nation, consisting of the horror over dropping the bomb. The nation felt a tremendous guilt over ending the war with the bomb and trepidation over what it portended for the future. Pro­ paganda and false bravado were necessary to sooth our nation’s collective guilt. Today a similar Unease over an impending doom has been brought upon us on the coattails of our president. Must we uni­ laterally abort multilateral rela­ tions for short-term gains? What about the long-term costs of such a foreign policy? Winston Churchill once said, “The United States represents man’s ascent to the “Sunlit Uplands” of history, and we cannot be stopped anymore than the sun can. The sun may go behind the clouds for an hour or a day or a week, or even a month, but we are the sun, the light of mankind, and we will not be dimmed for long.” Does our president, who is known to admire Churchill greatly, think that means he needs to use the light of the bomb to light the world?

The proposal, which is sched­ ASI President Dustin Naylor uled for a vote on February 18, said the committee voting on the will, if approved, increase the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) shifted powers again on Friday, Feb. 1 when Dean Man­ ship resigned from his position as student president and Execu­ tive Vice President Dustin Naylor took over duties as President of ASI. “It was hard cleaning out my office ... I was fighting with it. I really wanted to stay but I need to work and pay bills,” said Manship. This is not the first major change in the ASI staff this year. First, Darlene Willis, Execu­ tive Director, left before the Fall 2001 semester. Susana Gonzalez stepped in as interim director until Keith Speers took over three months ago. Then, Vice President Vinnie Williams resigned after his first few weeks in office due to per­ sonal reasons during the fall semester. The board replaced Wil­ liams with Undergraduate Repre­ sentative Dustin Naylor. Now the 24-year-old business Will issue has four spots for students to sit in. “I encourage students to use their voice, and join the com­ mittee if they wantjto have a say in how the proposal is handled,” said Naylor. The primary goal of the “Zoned Parking System” is to generate revenue for future park­ ing construction costs, including two more surface lots and a park­ ing structure, needed to match population growth and physical development. “We’ve got to go up - we’re running out of surface space,” said Williams. One of the chal­ lenges Parking Service faces is graduate, Manship, has resigned after serving three semesters. “Although I am sad to move on, I do so in confidence that Associated Students will continue to grow and remain the official voice of the students of Cal State San Marcos. I do believe that this organization is better now than when I arrived, and on its way to being even greater with your guidance and support,” said Man­ ship in his letter of resignation. The two resigned heads of ASI, Dean Manship and Vinnie Williams, were elected by approx­ imately 245 students, or 3% of the campus population. However, more changes are anticipated for ASI as a new semester unfolds and a vice presi­ dent has yet to be elected in place of Naylor. “The system can work with­ out a vice president. The duties are delegated to other officers,” said Dr. Francine Martinez, vice president for Student Affairs, and President’s Designee on the ASI board of directors. Martinez said she is excited about » >Article cont. on pg 2 Increase creating another lot specifically for residents when the dorms open, scheduled for 2004, as well as funding the cost of the two new surface lots and a structure. Current calculations, accord­ ing to the minutes, indicate that without increasing revenue, the university parking operation vfill be “in the red” in two years. According to Williams, the uni­ versity must have, due to bond measures, two-thirds of the con­ struction costs in a reserve bank account two years before con­ struction begins. Williams called the proposal a “hot topic” and said that Parking Fee Services is approaching groups on campus “for feedback and suggestions for improvement.” Because faculty and staff have their parking fees protected by contract, which can only be negotiated through the California Faculty Association (CFA), Park­ ing Services cantiot raise faculty and staff parking fees Williams said, “We have to have a $ 14 a month area /or park­ ing, because that’s what faculty/ staff pay to park. If we can’t raise their fees, due to bargaining unit issues, we have to provide an area for them to park.” » >Article cont. on pg 3 President Gonzajez Appointed by President Bush to the Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor President Bush appointed Cal State San Marcos President Alex­ ander Gonzalez on Jan. 28 to serve oij Bush’s Commission on Educational Excellence for His­ panic Americans. Gonzalez is one of only two Californians that have been appointed to this com­ mission of 17 members, and the only president of a institution of higher learning. According to Gonzalez, the purpose of the commission is to prepare Hispanic Americans to go on to higher education or at least to graduate from high school and gain the ability to get a good job. “I would hope that one of the purposes would be that we get more Hispanic or Latinos into the university level or beyond in professional schools,” said Gonzalez. “The most obvious benefit for CSUSM is that I am going to be rep­ resenting the university and people will know that San Marcos exists. This is one of the barri­ ers that we have today. Raise the awareness level of the campus, and the more indirect benefit is that some of the advisory will be enacted and local President Gonzalez. Pride Photo/James Newell students can benefit from that,” said Gon­ zalez. “What I learn from the commission hopefully I can share with the campus com­ munity.” Gonzalez said his role as a professional educator will be to look at the high drop­ out rate of Hispanic students; and he will bring his experiences and findings to the commission. “We can close the achievement gap but one of the major issue for higher education is student preparedness.. .You can get in college but if you are not prepared it is not going to last. Therefore, retention becomes a very important issue,” said Gon­ zalez. “If students are not pre­ pared well, that is going to be a barrier for or to their success.” Furthermore, Gonzalez said that the high drop-out rate of Hispanics is a nation-wide prob­ lem. “Just about every state of the Union has a Hispanic speak­ ing population of some size .. It is a big issue.” Gonzalez, who was born and raised in East L.A. and attended Garfield High School, will now have the opportunity to be in » >Article cont. on pg 3 �Women’s Leadership Conference By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor “Decisions Count!” is the theme for this year’s Women’s Leadership Conference. After a three-year lapse, on Friday, March 8, 2002, Cal State San Marcos will once again host the women’s leadership confer­ ence. This year the committee is targeting North County women from local high schools, CSUSM and the community. The two high-school partici- pants are Valley Center High School and El Camino High School. “Mentoring is our primary concern, and by creating small groups in those divisions the conference will be more struc­ tured,” said Director of Student and Residential Life, Bridget K. Blanshan. The event includes workshops for each and all of the groups and a keynote speaker. In addition, the topics will include networking, bal­ ancing work and personal lives, effective communication, and staying healthy. The confer­ ence is a one-day event. The committee is taking applications from which a total of 90 women will be selected to participate in the conference. The selection will be made based on career inter­ est and other areas. There is an application fee of $ 10. “Our goal is to maximize women’s understanding of their advan­ tages and options,” said Blan­ shan.

ASI P r e s i d e n t R e s i g n s »>Article cont. from pg. 1 the changes, but that the first thing she did after hearing of Manship’s resignation was to check in with Naylor because he was taking on his third posi­ tion in ASI this year. Martinez said that at the first board meeting since Man­ ship’s resignation there is “an enhanced purpose within the organization.” She said this enhanced purpose comes partially from Manship’s continuity in leader^ ship from last year and par­ tially from Keith Speers, new Executive Director. “Dean built a foundation. He created a board that could step in within a moment’s notice. [When he began], Keith Speers breathed some new air and excited ASI,” said Martinez. Manship ran for re-elec­ tion last May after serving two semesters as ASI presi- dent. “I knew I was graduating in December, but I didn’t think of it that way,” said Manship, when asked if he planned on leaving office while campaign­ ing for re-election. Manship said that his per­ sonal goal “that students never knew or saw” and one he accomplished was the restruc­ turing of the ASI organization. Business practices of the orga­ nization were cleaned up and “we had to get everything in line for the chancellor’s audit this year,” said Manship. The audit is still in process. However, Manship said that, while in office, he would have liked to put together more programs. When prompted for ideas, he explained that former student Rita Reynolds brought the idea of a laptop-leasing pro­ gram to ASI, but the idea was never developed by the board. Manship said he also had ideas about an electronic board that posts the day’s events, sim­ ilar to the one,at SDSU. “Post­ ing at the university is rough and not very student centered. It’s like they don’t want it to seem like a university campus sometimes,” he said. But, at the end of his term, Manship said he feels confi­ dent leaving the board in the hands of Executive Director Keith Speers and new presi­ dent Dustin Naylor. For now, the Executive Vice President position and College of Education represen­ tative positions remain unfilled. However, campaigns for next year’s positions begin March 1 and voting will happen in May. Whether the two positions will be filled by the end of the term or by the time other candidates begin vying for positions has yet to-be determined. Q&A with New Student President: Dustin Naylor By MELANIE ADDINGTON For The Pride Dustin Naylor began the 2001-02 school year as undergrad­ uate representative for the student government, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and a writer for The Pride. However, Naylor quickly had to adjust to his new role as Exec­ utive Vice President when, after a few weeks, Executive Vice PresidentVinnie Williams resigned. Although the bylaws for ASI state that the student president can name his new VP, Manship asked the board to decide on the replace­ ment for Williams. The board chose Naylor. After one semester as VP, he had to again adjust to a new role as student president when Dean Man­ ship resigned at the beginning of the spring semester. Due to Naylor’s new and busy schedule, The Pride chose to con­ duct an e-mail interview with him. It proceeded as follows: (The Pride) Q: When did you first find out you were becoming president?

Q: How do you feel about being promoted in such a short amount of time (four months) to VP and then to President? A; It’s a very exciting and unique experience to sit on the Board of Directors. I strive to con­ tribute to the students of Cal State San Marcos the same compassion and integrity, whether my position is Undergraduate Rep., Executive V.P., or President. Q: What strengths do you bring to the job? A: As a transfer student, I quickly became involved in student organizations here at Cal State San Marcos. I served as recruitment chair and corporate secretary for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of the largest student organizations here on campus. I sat on the Board of Directors as Undergraduate repre­ sentative and Executive Vice Presi­ dent for ASI before accepting the President’s position. Being con­ stantly exposed to a diverse and dynamic group of students enables me to clarify and express student voice and opinion. Q: What is the big difference between the two positions? A: As President, I am the offi­ cial representative for the corpora­ tion on campus, in the community, and with schools and organiza­ tions thereof. I serve as sole medi­ ator to the Board of Directors and generally supervise and direct the business of the officers of the corpo­ ration. Both positions deal mainly with meeting on university and ASI committees. Whereas the Exec. VP handles issues regarding students, the president focuses more on deal­ ings with faculty and adminis­ tration. [Now] I sit on a variety of committees, including Budget Review, Student Fees, arid Instructionally Related Activities. Q: What are you going to do to handle such a change? A: Prior experience with the Board and working .closely with Dean in the last couple years makes the transition to President very comfortable. Time manage­ ment and good xommunication is key. Q: Does it say anything about the ASI administration how some­ one can easily jump around to dif­ ferent positions in such a short amount of time? A: The face of the Board of Directors changes with every year. Our bylaws are structured to handle such a change in a professional business manner. Q: Is this new position going to affect your classes this semester? A: It definitely affected my class status within the Pride. But for the most part: No. Q: What else is going on at ASI right now? ASI is currently in the middle of Black History Month, spon­ soring a scheduled calendar of events, including a Black History Month Breakfast featuring key­ note speaker Dr. Karen Whitehearst-Payne on Friday, Feb. 15. We have included men’s and wom­ en’s lacrosse and soccer in our list of recreational activities, and are excited about the formation of a coed surf team, which is expected to be highly competitive at a national level. Come spring, we expect a huge turnout for intra­ mural basketball, flag football, and drop-in volleyball. Q: Do you think you will run for re-election in May? If not, why? If so, why? A: I graduate in May; I will not be running for re-election Q: What advice dp you have to new students (as far as getting involved)? A: I would advise that students try to meet new people. College is a networking strategy designed to bring individuals together to create successful partnerships and lasting friendships. I encourage students to get involved with clubs, recreation sports, Greek life, honor societies, and on-campus programming. ASI provides room for involve­ ment in student and universitybased committees, giving students voice in decisions that affect them. I would also like to see inter­ action within the transfer and grad­ uate community here at Cal State San Marcos. Gaining insight from upper-classmen helps our univer­ sity in that the opinion voiced now will contribute to educational standards, policies, student fees and programming to .come in later years. As our university grows, our students need to realize that their contributions to the university will ultimately determine how our how our graduates and our degrees are weighted in San Diego and sur­ rounding communities. �Parking Fee Increase Promises a Better Structure CSUSM Parking Lots Courtesy photo/www. csusm.edu »A rticle cont. from pg 1 That area would, according to the proposal, be in Zone 3, which will include lots B, N and O. Although faculty and staff currently park in the lot closest to campus (E), if the proposal goes through, that lot would fall into the newly instated Zone i, which students would then have access to for $50 per month. Faculty and staff would be required to park in Zone 3, the $14 per month zone in which students may also purchase parking. Williams said that Parking Services has “run into resistance from union representatives on*^ campus” regarding zoning the lots. According to the pro­ posal, this new threezone system is designed to allow flexibility for all users by segregating zones based on proximity to campus. In addition to the $14 per month Zone 3, two more zones will be desig­ nated. Zone 1, which would consist of lots C, E, and N, would run students $50 per month, per space. Zone 2, or lots B, C, J, N, and O, would comprise the $30 per month spaces. A consultant was brought in last semester to assess the parking situation on campus, arid recom­ mended the zonal parking system, suggesting that both the shuttle and stack park­ ing was not cost effective for Parking Services, according to the minutes from the Jan­ uary 23 meeting. Parking Services has asked ASI to assist in bring­ ing students accurate infor­ mation about the proposal and its effects.

First, they will advise U.S. secretary of Education Rod Paige on the progress of Hispanic Americans in closing the academic achievement gap and meeting the promise of the new No Child Left Behind Act of2001. Second, they will monitor and measure the per­ formance of federal agencies in creating federal initiatives within the Hispanic community and hold them responsible for improving the participation of His­ panic Americans in federal education programs.

And as an educator, I found that education always took me to photog­ raphy, and pho­ tography always took me back to education,” said Morris. The uniqueness of his presen­ tation lies within the arrangement of the photographs displayed. According to Morris, there was no specific way of organizing the pictures. However, structure By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer The theme “seeing comes before words” describes the meaning of celebrating Black History Month through the per­ spective of artist Major Morris, who has amplified the life and times of inner-city youngsters by presenting diverse black and white images in his photography exhibition: “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View.” “The children in these photographs are reminiscent of how I grew up and the gles I encountered groping way through an underprivi leged youthful existence, images show that kids hopes and dreams that need be nurtured,” said Morris. Currently a North local, Morris’ passion for tography was uplifted and moti vated by the birth of his and complemented by his of working in a dark room, His#personal discovery ena. him to build a bridge between passion and profit. “I shot or not, the effect of the exhi­ bition highlights Morris’ artistic character. “Everything here is candid. It is not staged. There is no statement being made here. Photog­ raphy, to me, is the essence of sensing, and being there at that feeling, particular moment. My reward is the interpretation,” said Morris. Morris’ versatile approach, utilizing photographic landscapes, still-life imagery, and abstract concepts has not only given him a voice of expression, but a m edium to share his love and passion for life and photogra­ phy with his audience. “My hope is that photographs will continue to offer honest and significant observations on life as I haVe and continue to experience it, and that I will leave ... footprints on the sands of time [and] that others, seeing, may take heart again, and perhaps, affect mean­ ingful change,” said Morris. Major Morris’ “Sands of My Time: An Eclectic View,” will be on display in the library through­ out the month of February.

The night was par­ tially clear, and when the fog and haze gave way to a patch of clear sky, we noticed the rays of the full moon reflecting off the snow that collects in the mountaintop valleys. As the moon and the haze battled throughout the last hours of early morning, we passed through moments of eerie half-darkness, any and all light obscured by low-lying clouds. Then, just as we were forced to slow our speed to a crawl along the winding mountain road, the fog broke and the moon’s rays combined with the snow’s white glow shining almost as bright as day.

After a morning of slowly waking up and shaking off the long, rainy drive from Tahoe, we took off to find the waves of Santa Cruz, which all surfers have heard about. When most people think of the beach and surfing, they think more intense. The water was cold and uninviting; I could actually feel the difference in density. When I fell it was much more difficult to penetrate through the surface of the water. And when I was beneath the water, the cold penetrated deep into my bones, at times, to the point of pain. It was a dip into the menacing natural elements of the Northern Califor- about a sunny Malibu day with warm water, surfers in swim trunks, and families playing on the beach. Going to the beach in Santa Cruz in the winter was not at all the commonly accepted image of surfing; it was much nia Coast. The waves were big, and although I had a great time, it was much more serious than what most surfers consider fun. By the end of the day, I felt, both men­ tally and physically, drained. �Tricks of the Trade Cheap R o m a n t i c D ining By, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor 5 ounces cocoa powder 1 lb. butter or margarine By: GEORGE BURGESS JR.

However, I feel this condition has created a fixation or a demand for the individual to have such a “title.” So my question is, if you are dating someone exclusively, and you both know where you stand with each other, does putting a “label” on your relationship matter? According to Elaine Lee, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, it does matter. “Not having the title suggests that the relation­ ship is an open one and that each individual in the relationship is free to date other people. If there were a title, dating other people would be considered cheating.” Likewise, John Burke, a sophomore at CSUSM stated, “the title is the security blanket of the relationship. It’s what makes it official.” Not everyone may agree with these viewpoints. Tisha Flores, a communication major at CSUSM, said a label does not matter. “As long as both individuals know how they feel for each other, that’s all that matters. If the relationship is denied, then that’s bad.” Nina Robinson, a sophomore at CSUSM, agreed that if you establish an understanding with each other, then the title becomes little more than a social state­ ment. Jen Jarrell, a CSUSM communication major, added, “A label is not important because the relationship you build together creates an unspoken connection between each other. There is no need to proclaim a title.” I feel that “titles” and “labels” can be misused and appear coun­ The Pride CORRECTIONS, Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell Martha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey Alyssa Finkelstein Amy Bolaski Victor Padilla Madeleine Marshall terfeit. For example, a man could acknowledge a female as his girl­ friend, but yet turn around and kiss someone else. What did the title “girlfriend” mean in this episode? It falls along the same lines as saying “I Love You” or saying you want a “wedding” vs. a “marriage.” Whatever the case may be, I believe that what you have accomplished within a relation­ ship with someone has more meaning and sincerity than any “title” or “label” will ever have. number, e-mail and identification.

LETTERS To the editors: A week ago I wrote about my frustration in dealing with the Cal State San Marcos system and the inflated bureaucracy. However, I want to acknowledge that right after my complaint, several campus staff took time to work with me to get my situ­ ation resolved. My problem ended up being much more than having my classes dropped (as I originally thought). Instead, my graduation was delayed due to annoying paperwork problems. An inde­ pendent study I took in place of another class needed to have paperwork signed by the teacher to prove the independent study could be used for the class. I was not informed of that when I orig­ inally took the class; because of this I did not know I had to go searching to fix the paper prob­ lem while I was still a student. I know now. For the two weeks before the semester, I ran around the campus from office to office trying to solve my dilemma. Along the way, the staff at the enrollment desk helped me every time I ran into the office asking yet another ques­ tion. Other times when I have gone in there, staff members were polite, but hardly friendly. But this time they were wonder­ ful. Also, I was very grateful when Janice Meliska, of Records and Registration, healed my graduation woes immediately. Well ... once the proper paper­ work was in place. I am also very grateful for the time spent e-mailing back and forth with Gerrie Hatten in the financial aid office. She helped me tremendously with trying to deal with my financial aid struggles. Just when I least expected it, this campus, and the people that work for it, came through for me. Thanks. Melanie Addington Graduate Student To the editors: On Feb, 4,2002,1 had an appointment to be seen by a physician at the campus clinic. This appointment was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Strangely, I wasn’t seen until at least 2:00. Appar­ ently, this is supposed to be acceptable to me? No one made any attempt to explain why I was seen so late. I had scheduled this appointment so that it wouldn’t conflict with another appointment I had in San Diego. The delay I was forced to undergo at the campus clinic put me behind. I don’t think my delay was anything new to them. If I was to be seen at 2:00 it sure would have been nice for them to at least notify me so that I could have done something more worthwhile than sit in their office for an extra hour. Is this sort of operation the sign of professionalism or just plain incompetence? Interestingly, at least one nurse was proactive enough to take my vital signs ahead of time, so that when ! was finally seen by the M.D., I wouldn’t be killing more time. I suspect the debacle that I was forced to endure was not only the result of a laissez-faire attitude at the clinic but the result of being understaffed. Consid­ ering the fact that Califor­ nia had a huge state budget surplus a little more than a year ago, and now it doesn’t, it is my judgment that it will be a long time coming before our “clinic” will see any sort of staffing addi­ tions. Where are our state government’s priorities? I hope that its name is on the list of those who are suing Enron for compensation. Wasn’t it Enron who high jacked us for our state sur­ plus that could have helped pay for a better qualitycontrol system on who is hired to work in the Univer­ sity medical clinics?

The Special military units have been training for the last several weeks to secure against biological attacks, chemj g f ical warfare, £■ ■ 1 and security breaches.

Just hours before the cere­ mony, President George W Bush met with the athletes personally, wishing them well and remind­ ing them of the awesome respon­ sibility involved with becoming heroes overnight to children across the world. Friday night’s festivities were also the first time in American history that the pres­ ident himself has declared open the winter Olympics.

School officials have defined the league as a way to keep players in shape for tiext season’s league. According to Khalid Alshafie, the men’s soccer coach, the league will work as a fitness program and as a way for the players to work on their condi­ tioning during off season and to get ready for next season. Brad Schmidt, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Club Ser­ vice Technician, agrees with Alshafie by defining the program as an off-season extension of last semester’s soccer participa­ tion and is intended to keep the player’s skills sharp and main­ tain their level of fitness. According to Schmidt, the 15 soccer players from the fall league will be participating in the indoor league that is coordinated by the City of Escondido Parks and Recreation Department, not by CSUSM. Schmidt also said that the students on the men’s soccer team are covering the expenses associ­ ated with this off-season league. Preschool Substitutes, aides, & teach­ ers.

The ceremony was concluded with the raising of the Olympic flag and the lighting of the Olym­ pic flame. The Olympic flag was carried by world athletes and lead­ ers. There are traditionally eight flag bearers, each representing one of the five continents and one of the three pillars of Olympic competi­ tion —sport, culture, and environ­ ment. Representing the Americas was former astronaut and United Sates Senator John Glen, now 80 years old. Representing Europe was Poland’s former president Lech Walesa, who helped to bring down the Iron Curtain from the inside. Nobel Peace Prize winner Arch­ bishop Desmond Tutu represented the continent of Africa, and 1998 Japanese gold medalist Kazuyoshi Funaki represented Asia. Austra­ lian gold medalist Cathy Freeman carried the flag for Oceania, and representing Sport was a three­ time French Olympic gold medalist named Jean Claude Killy. Rep­ resenting the pillar of Culture was America’s own Steven Spiel­ berg, and representing Environment was Jean Michele Cousteau, son of famous environmentalist Jaques Cousteau. The person honored with the lighting of the Olympic flame is traditionally kept a secret until the very last moment. As famous * winter Olympians from as far back as 1948 escorted the flame through the stadium, no one knew who would be the last bearer of the flame to actually light the torch. Finally, it was handed off to the dream team of Olympic ice hockey from the 1980 Olympic Games. This year’s Olympics will offer seven new areas of competition — the most unusual of which is a new Olympic sport called skele­ ton. Skeleton is similar to luge, but instead of traveling feet-first on their backs, the athletes travel headfirst on their stomachs. The sport was invented in St. Moritz, Switzer­ land, and was previously included in the Games both times they were staged ih St Moritz - 1928 and 1948. This year, a women’s bob­ sleigh team will be added as an official event, as well as five new disciplines in Nordic skiing and two new races in speed skating. The format of the snowboarding giant slalom event has also changed.

According to the Assistant Director for Residence Life Angela Grundy, the UVA is required by law to meet a standard 50 percent recycling rate. That is, at least half of the waste from the University Village Apartments must be recycled. If this standard is not met, the UVA could be fined up to $10,000. Prior to Jan. 20, 2004 there were no recycling bins in the apartments as there are now. Residents had to lug their recyclables to the dumpster on their own, without any bins to remind them to do so. This led to some students dumping their recyclables in with the rest of their trash. This was most likely the reason the UVA did not meet their last standard requirement and decided to place See UVA RECYCLING, page 2 Inside Propositions 55,51 & 58 Primary Elections coming up in March...

The recycling program at University Village Apartments works like this: each apartment has one recycling bin. The trash is collected once a week from the UVA, along with which students are responsible to empty their recycling bin. Where the residents empty their trash there is also a place to empty their recyclables, should they choose to. Carly Riley, a* freshman at CSUSM, was asked if she recycled. "Sometimes, depending on when I think about it," Riley said. "Glass, cardboard or big boxes definitely." She also said that they did not have the recycling bins in the apartments before this semester, only bins by the dumpster, so they just threw all their trash and recyclables together. MONEY from page 1 to complete the form because they haven't completed 2003's income taxes. Well Cynthia Silman who is a financial aid advisor said, "You don't have to complete 2003's income taxes to complete the 2004-2005 FAFSA form." Silman added that students could just estimate their income. So sound the horns because free money is possibly just a couple of pages or a couple of clicks away. And while at the Financial Aid Office, students can also check out how easy it is to get scholarships.

If approved on election day in March, Proposition 55 would allocate $2.3 billion to be used to fund major construction and renovation throughout California's higher educational system. California is experiencing rapid growth as a state, forcing administrators to find ways to accommodate such quick growth. Pressing enrollment growth over the past decade has made it vital to fix old and outdated classrooms, enlarge facilities, and construct new classrooms to meet existing student needs at CSU campuses—as well as California Community Colleges and UC campuses. There is seldom an adequate amount of dollars in the state budget to fund large expansions of the higher education system such as this. School construction is a direct investment in the local economy. Studies show Proposition 55 will produce hundreds of thousands of new jobs and add billions in local economic activities all over California. Funds can only be spent to revamp or construct schools, not on administration. Opposition to Propostion 55 states that Calfornia is already in debt and should not take more on. The bond requires that schools provide 40 percent of the total cost so schools without the funds will miss out. Also, Los Angeles, a city with 12 percent of California's students, would receive 25 percent of the money. —»•inHmii Over the past three years, California state spending has significantly exceeded tax revenues. Proposition 57, the "Economic Recovery Bond Act," to be proposed to voters on the March 2 ballot, initiates a $15 billion bond in order to pay off the state's accumulated general fund deficit as of June 30, 2004. The measure will only pass if voters also approve Proposition 58, the "California Balanced Budget Act." The recovery bond is designed to prevent drastic cuts from education and health care programs, as well as potential dramatic tax increases otherwise likely to cover the current debt. Proponents note that in addition to heading off budget shortages, the bond will consolidate much of the state's debt into one lump sum. Those in opposition to the bond claim that it will cost more than $2,000 per family, and instead suggest that the legislature should be called upon to reign in spending they see as out of control. _ Ultimately funded by the people of California, "The repayment of the bond would result in annual General fund costs equivalent to one-quarter percent of California's sales tax revenues," said the Secretary of State's Legislative Analyst. It would take between 9 and 14 years to pay back the bond. Essentially, this proposition gives the state government a one-shot, large sum of money to be used now, in order to reduce the immediate budget deficit, as opposed to collecting it gradually over time, via annual taxation. By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter h i i ii M i n i m i Gov. Schwarzenegger called Proposition 58 "the never-again spending limit." If only it were that simple. Titled "The California Balanced Budget Act," Proposition 58 includes an arsenal of provisions aimed at achieving a higher level of fiscal responsibility in Sacramento. Proposition 58 would amend California's constitution with changes that would not be subtle. While the governor is currently only required to propose a balanced Budget, Proposition 58 would force him or her to propose and enact a balanced budget. Another budget-related provision under Proposition 58 compels the legislature and governor to act swiftly in times offiscalemergency. Under such circumstances the legislature would have 45 days to complete a bill concerning the emergency. If the deadline were to pass without a bill, work on all other bills would be suspended until the emergency bill was completed and presented to the governor. Appealing to those who own piggy-banks, Proposition 58 would establish the Budget Stabilization Account. Money transfers would be ordered from the state's general fund into the new account until a certain balance is met. Much of the money in this new account would then be devoted to deficit payments. Proposition 58 would also prohibit the state from engaging in long-term borrowing arrangements. The proposition's opponents see this component as being rather useless in that it preserves the short-term borrowing arrangements they feel are troublesome..

Dick. Weiner. Johnson. There are thousands of different names we can call a man's genitalia; and according to the recent wave of Internet advertisements, there are thousands of ways to add on inches. These days, you can be sure that before hearing the words "you've got mail," various pop-ups for penis enlargement remedies on the computer screen appear. That is because there are over 18,000 products on the market catering to guys that want a bigger and better package. These products range from the $20 penis pump to the $300 bottle of Virility (one of many "all-natural" male enhancing supplements). To add to the list, there are also penis weights for those interested in the stretching technique and penis muscle exercisers for those guys who work out. For the man looking to increase the beast, these ads seem convenient; however, usage of any of these products may leave him unfulfilled and broke. Dr. Steven Bates of student health services, said that many of the products related to the penis enlargement propaganda have not been medically accepted nor FDA approved. The products claiming to be "all-natural" supplements borrow a mixture of herbs with various functions (Ginseng for stamina, Yohimbe for weight-loss, etc). These companies then stuff the list of herbs into a capsule and tell the consumer that his penis will grow about 30 percent within three to six months. Most of these supplements, however, will give the consumer a 90 day guarantee or refund Photo by Sarah Carlin¡The Pride Penetrating e-mail accounts nationwide, male member enhancement advertisements may leave consumers a little less than satisfied. your money. In other words, by the time he realizes that his penis has not grown an inch, the guarantee has expired, and the company keeps the money. Besides the fact that this market lacks a promising warranty, an herb can react in an individual's body very negatively, especially when mixed with other herbs. "Herbs can be the cause of hypertension, fatigue, and G.I. (gastrointestinal) problems —- like diarrhea (side effects) can be present when mixed with one's metabolism," Bates said. Results vary from person to person. The only certain way to add on inches to a penis is through surgery. That would only be recommended for specific cases, cases that are not cosmetic, but reconstructive. But even surgery is risky, Bates said So what makes us, as a society, so fascinated with size? Sex sells. Media definitely plays an important roll with movies like "Austin Powers," which jokes about a penis pump, and associates Austin Powers as being a huge ladies man. We can also give credit to the adultfilmindustry with all of the publicity that Ron Jeremy gets for his gigantic moneymaker. Sarah Wymer, sophomore, said that unfortunately, yes, size does matter. "Our society's obsession with size probably stems from women who are always supposed to be small with big boobs," Wymer said. "Men are depicted as being big, with a big penis." Wymer said she does not think products on the market are credible according to their advertisements. She said, "I think they are just gimmicks sold to poor guys with low self-esteem." Junior Jason Nichols said, "Bigger is relative to cold weather," and that bigger does not necessarily mean better, especially if the previous guy was bigger. Nichols said, "If you want bigger equipment, lose the beer belly." If you do decide to take the bait on these enhancement ads or even surgery, investigate the risk factors and know your motives. The American Urological Association and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have surgical remedies for amputated penises, penises damaged by car accidents, animal bites, birth defects and other serious cases. They do have policy statements against cos metic procedures. For more information on this topic or topics on sexual responsibility please visit Student Health Services. Faculty from Student Health Services will be in Founders Plaza to promote sexual responsibility Tuesday, Feb. 10, and Wednesday, Feb. 11, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. They will be selling condom roses and passing out safe sex pamphlets. Looking for romance in cyberspace may not be that weird By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As February 14 approaches, many single students are probably wondering just whose going to be their Valentine. Some are even turning to alternative methods, such as online dating, to find that special someone. To some, the thought of dating someone met online may send shivers down the spine. Perhaps questions like how could I go on a date with someone I've never met? And what if they're lying about who they really are? might course through your head. Perhaps pictures of some scary psycho murderer hunched over a keyboard goflashingthrough your mind. Or as freshman Kaylan Bland said, "That's creepy." Others mayfindonline dating unnatural. They may miss that spark when eyes connect for the first time; the initial meeting leaving your head spinning for days. "When you meet someone it should just happen," said Elise Battaglia, sophomore.

After making a new e-mail address on Yahoo just to be safe, I signed on to www.match.com. There is no charge to browse through other people's profiles and make one of your own. I searched for guys within 50 miles of San Marcos between 21 and 28 years old. I ended up with 50 pages of pictures and profiles to sort through. Though the first couple pages were nothing special, I quickly found one guy whose picture made my jaw drop. After yelling at my roommate to come stare at the Abercrombie model wannabe, I decided to read his profile. It just so happened that we have a ton in common, so I put him on my favorites list and continued to search. While skimming through the pages there were no scary creepy people to be found. With only 20 pages down, I decided to call off my search with 5 potential guys on my favorites list. The next step is writing to them, which I'm still too weirded out to do.

The ASI/CSUSM surf team has consistently made great performances in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) events. The season included two stops in Ventura (street pipes) Oct. 26 and Dec. 21, as well as an event at Black's Beach in San Diego Nov. 22. Thefinalevent of the regular season took place Jan. 19. at one of the great surfing spots in Southern California, Huntington Pier (south side). The Dream Team qualified for the state championships with an overall season ranking of ninth. "The Dream Team has a shoe in to qualify for nationals," said Surf Team Faculty Advisor Dr. Amber Puha. To make it to nationals, the Dream Team needs to place in the top 12 at state. In itsfirstyear, the secondary Cream Team also landed a place in the state championships. Cream Team member Conrad Scouton scored third place in the men's division, and Analia Carlsson, had a usually consistent performance. She is ranked sixth in the college women's division with 1530 points. Vital contributions from other Cream Team members like Alex By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo Courtesy of Conrad Scouton Conrad Scouton turns on the crest of a wave in Los Angeles County. The ASI/CSUSM surf t eam qualified for a spot in this year's state championship competition. Brust and Chris Parrinello also helped the team qualify. The Cream Team took seventeenth place in the rakings with 1748 points qualifying them for a shot at the title. "I hope they can have a strong showing,," Puha said. She added that coming from a strong performance at the last event in Huntington Beach, the momentum might just carry over to the state championships in March. She also said that the talent that these kids have hasn't been seen at it's full potential yet. The student body of the CSUSM campus has something to be proud of in these two teams. These guys and gals are a force to be reckoned with after posting their bestfinishesof the year. The road to having a Surf Team at CSUSM is a very hard one. It takes a tremendous amount of work both by students who are on the surf team and advisor Puha who devotes both time and effort. The leadership on the team is outstanding and they are a great group, Dr. Puha said. Alumni, ASI, as well as Hansen Boardroom all contribute funding to keep the team going, but the rest of the funds Photo courtesy of Cougar Softball Cougar's Softball is 2 -2 and preparing for a tournament, where the women will compete nationally. Many of t he girls who had joined t he t eam had been on hiatus f rom the sport. By BRETT DAVIS Pride StaffWriter CSUSM expanded its list of club teams last November when the Women's Softball Team formed itself and began pre-season workouts. They practiced rigorously for nearly two months and opened up their inaugural season with a 15-2 lopsided win over Mt. San Jacinto College Jan. 12. A blowout win against intercollegiate competition is a great achievement for any club team, and proved to be the ideal way to open up the season. The next two outings weren't quite as glorious as the first; the team dropped both games of a double-header against International Hope of Faith. The losing streak didn't last long though, and was snapped in the very next game against Orange Coast College with a close 6-4 triumph. The Women's Softball team now finds themselves at .500 with a 2-2 record. "Not bad considering half of the squad hadn't played in nearly 5 years," said Head Coach Fermin Cardoza Sr. Cardoza has been coaching girl's softball for the last 15 years through Vista Girls Softball and needed for liability insurance, entry fees, and other costs have to come from fund raising by students. One idea is to host a "surf flick" night at the Clarke field house. By paying a small fee, students can come and help the surf team reach their goal of $700 to cover the state championship fees. People interested in helping can contact Laurence Bolotin, director of Student Programs. Expect great things in the future with the ASI/CSUSM Surf Team, because as the campus grows so will this popular program. Inaugural season for sofibaH is off to an even start Travel Ball, and hopes to end the Cougar's inaugural season with a winning record. The team is looking forward to the National Softball club team tournament at the end of April. Catcher Alison Sansbury said she is looking forward to the tournament. "We are a young Cougar dynasty and this tournament will pit us against other club teams and will show just exactly how good we are," she said. Cardoza said, "Definitely, they have come a long way since we first started practicing, "It's like night and day," he said. With spring on the horizon, America's favorite pastime is almost upon us, which means the second season of Cougar baseball will be getting under way. CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports (Cross country, Track and Field, and Golf), but those are not the only sports available to students. 2003 was the inaugural season for Cougar baseball, which was a successful season by all standards for a first year team. There will be six returning players from last years squad, including one sophomore, one junior, and four seniors. Head Coach JJ Koon said, "We are very excited about the upcoming season. We are building off a .429 winning percentage, with a record of §ix wins and eight losses." Last season the Cougars participated in very high scoring games. The Cougars had the second best scoring offense, and allowed the third fewest runs out of six teams in the Metal Bat Division. In the first game, of a 14 game season, they blew out the San Diego Black Sox with a 17-2 victory. The Cougars continued to put up big scores on their opponents all throughout the year; the team averaged 10 runs per game in the final six games, while finishing strong, winning four out of those six contests. The Cougars scored seven runs or more on seven different occasions throughout the year. The teamfinishedthe season tied for third place in their division, and this year the returning players expect only to improve upon last year's success. The Cougars play games Sundays on Varsity Fields at various North County High School locations. The team is part of the North County section of the Men's Adult Baseball League (MABL). The North County section contains several independent baseball teams from other universities like San Diego State, and other independent teams in the greater San Diego area. The Cougars are looking for athletic men tofillout the roster, which is currently voided by the eight seniors who were on the team last season. Try-outs will be held on February 21, at 1:30pm, on the campus of Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside. There will also be a team meeting that anyone is welcome to attend. The team meeting is tentatively scheduled for the second week of February in the Founders Plaza.

The top answers given were: kindness, warmth, attentiveness, commitment, sense of humor, and shared values. Out of all the various answers in the survey there was not one woman who said they want a huge penis. Maxim magazine is not a scientific medical journal; however, they are correct in informing men that the size of a man's package is of no consideration to women. So if size doesn't matter, why are there approximately 18,000 penis enlarging products on the "So, ifsize doesn't matter; why are there approximately 18,000penis enlargement products on the market?" market? Are our precious members shrinking? Oris this just a case of marketing genius? Any person with internet access or e-mail can attest to the surgence of pop-ups and spam ads, not to mention the late-night commercials for these products that have been working hard to create an epidemic of small penises in the United States.

According to an interview with Steven N. Grange, MD on WebMD.com, Grange said, "Men in general did not have a distorted view of what's a normal penis size until a study published in Sept. 1996 Journal of Urology concluded that the average flaccid penile length was 3.5 inches, and average erect length was 5 inches." It is as if the marketing and advertising industry has just been waiting for this information to create a complex in the male psyche just like it has been doing to women for decades. If you are a women, you know you are bombarded everywhere you look with images of the so-called "perfect shape." Fashion, cosmetic, and diet industries make billions of dollars each year off the insecurities they have created in women. Now it seems they have the perfect recipe to do the same thing to men. Tell men that they don't measure up if they can't stretch out to a hefty 10 inches on a ruler; get a sexy women to say how pleasurable a big penis is, and then offer a must-have remedy. Whether you are a man or woman, you can decide for yourself whether you think it is right, or even about time, that men are now being targeted by this type of marketing that feeds off the insecurities it creates in society. vm way m?

L ETTERS T O T HE E DITOR The opening of Kellogg Library this semester has created a sense of excitement among CSUSM faculty and students alike. In fact, I have been so excited about the opening of the new library that whenever I am in the building I experience frequent urination. Thefirsttime this sense of urgency hit me, I was thrilled to check out the new bathroom facilities in the library. To my dismay, I found the experience to be less than mediocre. I have visited three bathrooms in the new library, one on the firstfloor,two on the second. These bathrooms all have doors that do not properly latch—-and when I have to go I don't have time to fumble with door locks. Consequently, I have been forced to relieve myself in front of classmates. To make matters worse, often times these bathrooms lack seat covers and toilet paper, too. So not only am I the girl who pees with the door open, I'm the girl who doesn't use seat covers or toilet paper. I usually make afinalsanitary attempt before I leave the library restrooms, but as I pump the dispenser for soap I don't even get a bubble, and when I go to dry my hands, the paper towel dispensers are jammed. The other day, on the way to the bathroom I was really down in the dumps. I felt like things just couldn't get worse. And then I found a friend. Inside the first floor bathroom in the new library I met Karen, a quiet girl, head in hands, sobbing on the ground next to the sink. Scooping away days of trash and paper towels, I leaned down next to her and asked what was wrong. Karen told me she was having a feminine emergency and ran to both bathrooms on the second floor of the library and, in a third final attempt, tried thefirstfloor bathroom for a vending machine to buy a product. Karen found nothing of the sort. You can find Karen in this same spot, because she vowed to me she wouldn't leave the bathroom until someone recognizes the importance of such machines and installs one. On a more serious note: I don't understand why these brand new bathrooms, in a state of the art library, have dysfunctional door latches and paper towel dispensers. Out of the three women's restrooms I have visited, not one has a feminine product vending machine, either. I find a more serious problem lies in the fact that these un-stocked restrooms are not cleaned on a daily or even bi-daily schedule, forcing us to use stained toilets while we stare at dirty pieces of trash on thefloorthat we first noticed days ago. The library is a new, beautiful facility—and students should be just as overjoyed to use the restrooms as they are to sip a Frappuccino from Starbuck's or receive a free Kellogg spill-proof mug.

To Student Advocates here at CSUSM: Our governor has recently proposed budget cuts which will directly target the Student Support Services and Educational Opportunity Program (SSS and EOP) in the Cal State system. These programs provide much needed support for low-income, first generation students through a wide variety of services while focusing on academic success, student perseverance and retention rates. EOP gives support to students who need all the assistance they can get. These programs are the key to promoting educational equality and access to higher education, essential issues the CSU system adamantly claims to protect. As a team teacher for the WMST 101 class for many of the first year EOP students on this campus, I work directly with these underrepresented students. Asfirstgeneration college students, those involved in EOP often face obstacles that often include economic hardship, cultural and language barriers, and lack of support both in the home and at the university. Cutting the EOP program would be detrimental not only to those students who rely on the program to receive the education which they deserve, but also for the overall atmosphere of the CSUSM community as a whole, which prides itself on its diversity. As a student advocate dedicated to the preservation of educational quality and access, I am outraged. Outraged at'our governor's lack of concern for students who desperately need support services. Outraged that his budget cuts hit to the heart of the higher education . system. Outraged that he seeks to disenfranchise those whom have worked so hard to get where they are. Outraged that there are not enough of our voices being heard I support the CSSA resolution which protests these actions. I encourage all of us to remain steadfast in our dedication to petitioning to stop the elimination of the CSU Outreach and EOP programs. Please flood the governor's office with letters in protest. Call Sacramento and tell him how we feel. We must continue thefightfor student rights and never give in- or give up.

A troop of steppers from El Camino high school, who had attended the show as guests, their gratitude by cheering riotously and giving the girls a standing ovation. "Rhythmic stomping to demonstrate unity, talent, and organizational pride," said Dilcie D. Perez, associate director of multicultural programs and community outreach. That is precisely what the step show was all about. The stomping and clapping which made up the dance created an infectious rhythm which accompanied by the dancer's frequent shouts and cheers, such as "deep in Alabama" and "unity" had a very musical feel. Observers became participants and everyone displayed a high level of enthusiasm and support with their laughter, applause and cheers. At the conclusion of the event, Perez reminded students that change starts on a small scale. It begins with the student voice. The unique exhibition of stomping tied together with the crowd's involvement achieved an important goal for Black History month: that of unity.

Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride StaffWriter Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming movie "The Girl Next Door," directed by Luke Greenfield, had the theater echoing with laughter at a recent press screening. The movie debuts March 12 as one of the few romantic comedies that I wouldn't classify as a chick flick. Guys can expect to see plenty of eye candy which you would expect from a movie about a high school kid dating a porn star. A senior at Westport High School, Matthew, played by Emile Hirsch, dreams of becoming a politician, and the most exciting thing in his life is his acceptance to Georgetown University. That is until he falls for the new girl next door, Danielle, played by Elisha Cuthbert. She is gorgeous, she is fun and she brings out his adventurous side. She also happens to be a former porn star. Mathew has plans for a whirlwind of a week which includes senior prom, a scholarship competition and the arrival of an exchange student. Unfortunately, all these events are put on hold when Danielle's former director comes to take her back to the industry. Their days are filled with random misadventures as Matjhew realizes he's so in love that he would do anything to keep Danielle and get her out of the business, even steal. Although the characters in this film are your typical teen movie clichés, the popular crowd, the nerds and the in-betweens the plot was surprisingly unfamiliar. If you want a feel good, goof-off movie to go hit up with all your friends I would definitely recommend that you see this film. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Reed result in student fee increases, enrollment reductions, and elimination of EOP and other outreach programs. The Governor's new proposal provides for a $240 million net cut for the CSU system. On top of the current year, this will result in a $568 million, or approximately 20 percent, budget reduction, Chancellor Reed said. In a Board of Trustees meeting last Thursday, the Chancellor announced "an evolving tentative plan," which he summarized by saying, "Because cuts over two to three years are so big, we can no longer continue to serve as many See CHANCELLOR, page 3 Karen S .

"On her first 'real day' on campus, she chose to make the event student-focused." NEW®I ByDAVEWERTH& ERICMERCADO Pride StaffWritets Budget cuts are likely to impact CSUSM once again as Governor Schwarzenegger suggestsr removing the Educational Opportunity Program from California State University campuses. The EOP has been a part of the CSU for almost 35 years, and has been providing the opportunity for low income, first generation, and underrepresented students to complete a higher level of education. Providing free counseling, academic workshops, supplemental instruction, financial grants, and many other student services, the EOP serves almost 500 students on the CSUSM campus. The people here are great, I have received help financially, and the counselors here are very supportive in our achievement and success, said Janet Perez, a first generation college student. Perez is one of 497 students at CSUSM who are now receiving help from the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP). The governor's proposed cuts will eliminate $36 million dollars from the CSU budget across 23 campuses and impact thousands of students, many of whom may only have one or two semesters of schooling left. CSUSM receives approximately $500,000 annually to keep this program running. The governor's proposed budget would cut about $74 million dollars from the CSU and $52 million from student outreach programs in 2004-2005, leaving the EOP, with an entire budget of $37 million, completely gone. The results of the EOP program at CSUSM have been remarkable, financially and academically. Out of the 309 EOP grants offered, all were awarded. In addition, EOP first-year student retention rates range from the 90 percentile, while regulatory CSUSM-admitted first-time freshman only hit a 70.5 percent retention rate. The program not only assists EOP students financially, but it also provides personal and academic counselors. Students like Janet Perez may use the retention center, which provides a mini computer lab, f ree printing for its students and lent-out laptops for students Proposition 56 would modify budget process By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Proposition 56 is on the March 2004 ballot in order to change the requirements of the California budget-making process by modifying the^ state constitution. The areas iiivolved are the state's budget and budget-related taxes. If passed, the proposition would decrease the . current two-thirds (67 percent) approval requirement to 55 percent approval f rom both houses of the legislation. In other words, it would take fewer votes on the proposed budget plan to get it passed on to the next level. California is one of three states — the others being Rhode Island and Arkansas — that have a two-thirds requirement in place. Currently, if both houses of the legislature approve the proposed budget by two-thirds or mòre, the plan is then forwarded on to the governor for his approval. At that point it is up to the governor to either approve it, thus putting it in to affect, or to require changes and resubmission at a later date. The governor has to sign a budget for it to be put into affect, giving him the ultimate say on the proposed budget. This leads into one of the proposition's changes.

"Our goal at EOP is to support our students in any way we can, said Lorena Meza, Director of Student Support Services and the Educational Opportunity Program. We thrive on long term student success through university access providing academic advising and educational counseling, and offering academic support. That's why so many of our students are successful." Meza, who is a product of the EOP herself, shared some insight on the cuts that may occur as early as June of this year. "The keystones of the CSU were access and affordability, and now they are targeting the neediest programs. People often wonder why these students are getting free photocopies, personalized counseling, mid-semester evaluations and grants, but they don't realize that many of these students barely have any food to eat at home." Photo by Sarah Csrim/The Pride The EOP, which does not target specific ethnicities, age groups, or gender groups, solely bases the student's eligibility on total annual income. A student living as an independent who makes no more than $9,900 annually would be eligible for these services and grants from the EOP. The grants range from $400-$1000, and help the students buy books, bus passes, and other necessities.

The Chancellor proposed to the Board a 5 percent, or approximately 20,000-student, enrollment reduction plan uniformly among all 23 CSU campuses. Enrollment reductions must be "immediately implemented," explained the Chancellor, "Because the application period ended at the end of November. Students are waiting to hear about being admitted to CSU." About 2 percent of the 5 percent reduction will be able to attend a community college in order to complete 60 hours of lower GE requirements. Upon completion of an AA degree, "we would guarantee them that they could get into a CSU," stated Chancellor Reed. He further explained that this proposed measure would save the CSU system approximately $100 million. The Governor's Office made four recommendations in lieu of the proposed budget cuts: First, the new budget set the following fee structure: a 10 percent fee increase for undergraduate students, 40 percent for graduate students, and a 20 percent increase for non-residents, on top of other fees. Chancellor Reed expressed agreement with the Governor's policy recommendations for "a more stable fee policy." "He has recommended a cap on fees based upon personal income growth," said Chancellor Reed. Second, the Governor recommended CSU schools redirect 10 percent, or 4,000 first-time freshmen to community colleges. Criteria have not yet been established for "some fair and equitable basis" for determining which freshmen would be affected, the Chancellor admitted, although he affirmed, "we're going to really look hard about how we can do that." Third, Chancellor Reed expressed support for the Governor's proposed "Excess .Credit Hour Policy," according to which students taking more than 10 percent above their required units for graduation would be charged " full price." As a result, students who now pay about 20 percent of the cost for education, or about $2,000, would pay about $10,000 in tuition. The Chancellor noted, "We can work on that. We think the policy ought to be about fif- teen percent. Academic advising, course offerings need to be a lot clearer. Maybe we would only allow students to change their major once." Fourth, the Governor recommended eliminating EOP (Education Opportunity Program) and outreach programs, with which the Chancellor summarily disagreed, stating that, "We can prove that students that participated in EOP programs graduate at about a thirty percent rate better than students that don't." He responded to the proposal by saying, "We think we can do something creative and keep our EOP programs, rather than just wipe them out. We would rather reduce our enrollment than do away with our EOP outreach programs." Chancellor Reed invited students, faculty, staff, and presidents to come to the Chancellor's Office in February to a planned Budget Summit to work on some of the proposed ideas. Chancellor Reed called the budget "not a pretty picture," and expressed concern that if the proposed $15 billion bond on the March 2 ballot fails, "I'm afraid we're back at ground zero, and the potential for cutting the University goes up tremendously " Proposition 55, an initiative on the upcoming March ballot that could "get California out of the hole," will be paid back over 7 to 8 years, and will give $12.2 billion to public schools, community colleges, as well as the CSU and UC systems for new building construction, with the CSU share being approximately $770 million, explained Chancellor Reed. The Chancellor expressed hope that students would support Prop. 55, urging them that, "It is very important that all of our students know how important this is." In a last agenda item apart from, but closely related to the budget, Chancellor Reed emphasized the need to publicize information concerning Cal Grant programs. "California is fortunate that we have a very good financial aid program. Many of our students qualify for Cal Grants, but many of our students don't know the deadline to apply." He compelled students to acquire Cal Grant forms at the Financial Aid Office, to have them completed and post-marked before the March 2 deadline. "Tens of thousands of our students are eligible for Cal Grants," he stated, who will miss their opportunity if the deadline expires.

By TOR FREED Pride StaffWriter It seems the red planet is much more familiar and probably a whole lot more exciting than democratic candidates facing each other to see who will get the nomination and the arduous task of facing George Bush in the upcoming presidential elections. For those who missed it, Howard Dean has been the democratic front-runner on his anti-war, anti-Bush campaign but his angry tirades have left many democrats doubting his ability to lead the country. This became apparent when presidential hopeful John Kerry won the caucas in Iowa and New Hampshire despite endorsements for Dean by former vice-president A1 Gore and other influential democrats. Even more amazing is that Kerry's political campaign was close to having the last nail in the coffin before this stunning turnaround. This is hugely important for democrats because Kerry, former Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient, has a chance against Bush and those wanting a strong military. Vbters on the fence cannot overlook this. The Pride ventured out among the students to see what they felt about this new turn of events. Gary Taylor, senior and former veteran seemed like a good start. Taylor is president of the CSUSM veterans association and describes himself as a former 'train fighter' after falling into a train in Bosnia that rendered his left arm disabled and missing part of his left leg. An ambitious man taking eighteen units and continuing on to law school, Taylor was bound to have an opinion about the latest events. "I haven't had time to pay attention because I carry eighteen units," said Taylor. "I was leaning towards Wesley Clark until he compared Bush with a two-bit dictator, not very professional for a general." Taylor doubts very seriously if he will consider voting for a democrat. Melissa Thompson, senior, has not been paying close attention. She was busy doing some sort of advanced math when The Pride posed the question. Thompson said, "Howard Dean's rampage strengthens Bush's chances for re-election." A trip to the T.K.E. pledge stand might have been a bad idea considering that when I asked about the democratic turn of events the response was, "Dude, I 've been sleeping all day, why don't you ask one of those guys?" I asked one of those guys, and he said he had no clue and what was going on with that. Amy Weaver, junior^ said she understood the implications, and if a democratic hopeful could inject some much needed money into the education system. Photo by Tor Freed/The Pride G ary Taylor "No, I was not aware (of Kerry's win) of that," Weaver said. "I try not to watch the news, the local news. I try to watch C.N.N but I haven't had time since school started." When asked if a democratic president could help the budget crisis looming at CSU universities Weaver said, "I think the democrats and the republicans agree on a lot of the same things. The platform issues. And unfortunately, education is going to suffer. Even Bush is for education, his wife is a teacher." Ashley Stuart, sophomore, was the only person I interviewed who knew about Kerry's win, but she was not happy with the process. "What really drives me crazy is all the finger pointing. (Candidates) don't really seem to care about people," said Stuart. "And the ads, they drive me crazy too, it's all Hollywood." Stuart also said that neither party is going to help reverse the downward trend in spending on education. "I really don't see any big change with regards to party." "I don't pay attention to that stuff until they're here in California," said junior, Stephanie Allen. "I won't know everything, but I 'll know a little."

Dance program global and growing By LAURA WHITAKER Pride Staff Writer Professor Karen Schaffman brings not only what she calls her post-modern approach to dance to the campus, but a very global awareness of dance. Much to my surprise (and delight) there is more going on in the CSUSM Dance Program than I thought. A small but strong division of the Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Dance Program was originally taught off-campus at the Escondido Center for The Arts by adjunct faculty. In the last few years, however, Professor Schaffman arrived, bringing the classes on campus, and giving the program a whole new spin. Schaffman teaches several classes, including Global Modern Dance, which focuses on world dance forms. "The dance program is very interdisciplinary right now," Schaffman said. " I'm very interested in mixing dance with video and sampled music." She also facilitates a modern dance class in contemporary technique, and a choreography workshop which run back to back on Monday and Wednesday for those interested in movement classes. In addition to this, there is a new Dance 10Í class based on dance appreciation, and a class that crosses with women's studies called Women in Performance Choreography. In fact, there are some new classes in the works, including a history of modern and postmodern dance, and a course on dance and new media. Schaffinan is currently working collaboratively with Kristine Diekman, Tony Allard, and William Bradbury on such multimedia based endeavors. In the past few years, the dance program has hosted numerous performances and artist residencies for companies such as Urban Bush Women, Korean National University of the Arts, as well as African, Filipino, and local performance styles. In regard to campus-wide dance activities go, Laurence Bolotin, the ASI coordinator of student programs and services, has helped put together free fitness and leisure courses in the Clarke Field House. Among these are included a Belly Dancing and an African Dance class. ASI is also forming a iiip-hop group called Jam Control. As far as the future of the dance program, "It looks to expanding dance by bringing it into other disciplines," said Schaffinan. This fall there will even be a minor in dance available for interested students. "The future for dance at San Marcos is growing," Schaffinan said.

Photo by Sarah CsatinJThe Pride B y L ORIANN S AMANO Pride Staff Writer Now that Cal State University San Marcos has this big beautiful brand new library, you could be wondering why the building is named after a cereal company. Well it's true. William Keith Kellogg II, who grew up learning the family business in a cereal factory, and Janet "Jean" Kellogg, both are who our library is named after. William Keith Kellogg II learned the family business from his grandfather Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, William Keith and Janet "Jean" Kellogg are well known for their long history of philanthropy with many institutions. Senior Kellogg started the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in the 1930's. He donated a major portion of his fortune, including donating his 800-acre ranch in Pomona, his herd of registered Arabian horses and $600,000 to the University of California; which would establish the ranch site for Cal Poly Pomona. The naming processes of CSU buildings works, in that, the names are approved by the Cal State University Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the campus. The trustees consider the donor and her pr his background, the donor's history or relationship with the campus and the amount of the donation. The amount must be substantial and in relation the Kellogg's have asked to keep it private. We can tell you that the donation was in the seven figures range. The Kellogg's have been long time supporters of CSUSM since 1997. One of their first gifts to the CSUSM campus helped complete preliminary planning so that the library project was moved up on the CSU priority list, and resulted in the building being completed several years before the original planned date. The Kellogg's did not just give their money but encouraged others to donate as well. This strategy is used in a manner that when, for example, $1 is given, the match doubles the gift to $2.

We want our people looked after; we want a health state. OfrC tz> E e A S o M Even during these times, California is not in such a state of shock that we can't support our Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP). Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes to do so next semester. When the Governor revoked $23.7 from the CSU last semester he started a chain reaction. The latest is that Schwarzenegger illegally repealed the triple car tax last year. He replaced that fee by decreasing support to UC and CSU schools. Basically he's kicking the ladder out from those who depend on it. A group of college students, namely in the UC system, is suing the Governor. They found a law saying the tax can only be lowered if there is enough money in the California's fund to cover existing programs, like Cal State's EOP. Cindy Gutierrez, a student enrolled in EOP, said she could have gone to college without the outreach, but it's hard to say. She started in AVID while younger, and then got into college programs. One point she made clear though — not all students at CSUSM would be here now without the outreach programs. EOP helps those students stay in v school when they get here. Some in the nation say that the EOP and outreach programs are a waste of money — taxpayer money. The Citizens Against Gov- $110 million for the next year-and-a-half. California's budget is obviously an issue. But in a state where the median home costs $430,000 dollars, why can't Californians give the $110 million to support the EOP and outreach programs in both the CSU and the UC systems. They can, and that's the burden of EOP. The Starbucks invasion I By CLAUDESAYF Pride StaffWriter MAR*»!?

Whether you like just plain old coffee with crème and sugar from 7-11 or a double whipped, fat free, extra hot, grande, carmel mocciatto from Starbucks , a coffee shop is a wonderful sight to your tired eyes. But if you ask me enough is enough. You can now find a Starbucks on every street corner in every major city in the United States. I also heard through the grape STUDENT BIER NUTS ernment Waste issued a report stating that the outreach and EOP programs are higher education marketing ploys that have no purpose. What they're not mentioning is the market that higher education is soliciting to. That's the point — reaching students that normally wouldn't make it into college.

Starbucks has invaded the United States faster than Juan Valdez can say no bueno. And now we've allowed it to invade our campus. Their overpriced coffee is about to put the little refreshment cart in front of Academic Hall out of business — the epitome of the corporate giant swallowing up the little mom and pop stores. But it seems the trend is here to say. Starbucks seems to be a very profitable company to invest in. How do I know? Well maybe the fact that not only is there one on campus but there is another one about a quarter mile down the road in the Ralph's shopping center tells me. I also know of a few other spots in San Diego where Starbucks shops are within a quarter mile of each other. How much more trendy can it get? It will be scary when property values go up due to a Starbucks being built in a neighborhood. But at the rate Starbucks is going, I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea. Starbucks is a billion dollar company and I don't think the removal of the one on campus will break the company. I do know that it would probably save the livelihood of the person who owns the little cart in front of Academic Hall if we remove the Starbucks. It would help us students a lot more to put a store like a Costco for books. Cheaper books store not overpriced coffee. �CSUSM Calendar ByMKHAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman Feb 3-10 Last week's edition of The Pride was g ood However, I fear that the goodness o f that issue might have been missed since I still have not received any. feedback this semester.

I know there are many of you out there who have strong opinions about The Pride. If you need some ideas for responses, I could think of a couple of prompts. One question I think should be asked of The Pride is why is it that The Pride has not conducted an interview with our university's new president, Karen Haynes, yet this semester? A new president greatly affects our campus and the absence of an interview with her in the first two issues is enough to spatk some criticism, I think. I feel Chancellor Reed's article about the proposed budget for the CSU and the consequences of that budget is enough to spark some inquiries as well. The impending budget cuts stand to reduce the availability of classes and increase fees into the future. H ie Pride will be covering stories concerning the budget calamity throughout the semester. Let me know if there is a particular aspect of program being cut or an inconvenience that needs to be addressed and it will be considered.

A San Marcos native, co-owner Jason Simmons wants the Blvd to be a versatile establishment where the entire community can feel at home. "We kind of look at this place as San Marcos's palate, and let the customers and the clientele and the community paint the picture." In shaping a place which appeals to all facets of the community, the owners have kept the college students in mind. The Blvd brings an urban, beach-style atmosphere to inland San Marcos, giving local college students a fresh, modern venue to call their own. The spacious, newly finished dining room with a large stage and dance floor, offers sleek, black booths and a full bar. The walls, Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/77re Pride Bartenders Troy Payton, Aaron Mock (above left) and Shawn Cameron (above) show off their skills behind the bar. although freshly painted, have an aged, Spanish look about them. There is also a ten foot projection screen. The Blvd's outdoor patio area takes inspiration from the beach, with its two lava rock fire pits and a glass waterfall that lights up at night. There is an outside bar as well. There is also a room known as the "Dragon Lounge," because it used to be a Chinese restaurant. Offsetfromthe main dining room, the Dragon Lounge is smaller with a full bar, plasma screen TVs, red light fixtures, and carved doors. Realizing the diversity within the college community itself, the Blvd will offer a variety of options for students. "Most of the college students in this area have very limited choices," Simmons states, "so we're trying to provide as many choices as possible within our own venue." The Blvd will feature different music throughout the week including punk rock, reggae, hip hop, jazz, and acoustic bands. The menu is reasonably priced and provides variety as well, with an extensive selection of appetizers— ranging from corn dogs to coconut shrimp—salads, pastas, and half pound burgers. Simmons adds that initial conversations between the Blvd and CSUSM have begun, hoping to create a community between the Blvd and the college. Sometime in the spring, he wishes to host festivals in the dorm's quad. Simmons has also initiated discussion with the art department on campus. The Blvd was fully opened for business Saturday, January '31, and Simmons looks forward to seeing how the community will respond to the Blvd in the weeks to come. "We don't know exactly what we're going to end up with in three months or three years, or whatever it is, but the market and community will kind of dictate to us what they want to see happening here."

'A date w9ith Tad Hamilton a tad bit predictable By ZELYNDA SMITH Pride StaffWriter If you haven't already seen "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton," but you've seen other teen aged romantic comedies, you can pretty much understand the concept of this one. Topher Grace, from the hit T.V. series "That 70's Show," plays Pete, a focused and warmhearted supermarket manager in Frasier's Bottom, West Virginia. He suffers from a childhood crush on his co-worker Rosalie (Kate Bosworth) that eventually evolved into much more. Over the years the two remain the best of friends. But when she wins a date with her dream guy, Hollywood heart-throb, Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), things get a bit more interesting. Blinded by his Hollywood image Rosalie fails to see Tad's true colors. Tad becomes convinced that she has more to offer then the big-shot models that he's used to dating. She proves that she can be just as captivating without sacrificing her morals and for the first time Hollywood's leading man falls in love. Meanwhile, Tad and Pete continuously compete for her affection and the question that the movie proposes is inevitably: Do nice guys really finish last? Although the movies plot line was cliché, the writing wasn't terrible. At times I really felt Rosalie's happiness as well as her indecision. Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth play small town grocery store employees that are star struck when a famous actor played by Josh Duhamel c omes to town. Unfortunately there were times when the movie tended to be all too predictable. I caught my mind wandering out of the story and wondering why Rosalie's eyes were two different colors (I'm almost positive that Director, Robert Luketic, didn't want his audience to focus on that), so a twist in the story would have been welcome. The soundtrack was a big help to my enjoyment of this film. It was upbeat and sassy. From Barry White to Jewel, this soundtrack won the movie some major points. Overall, "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" helps jolt the memory of that first love and all the essential steps that it took to get it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Broken water valve causesfirein Academic Hall By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The frequent routine of repairing busted water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in Academic Hall igniting a fire. University Police evacuated the building and called for firefighters to come, nobody was hurt. This is the second time that broken water pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall, the largest classroom building. In spring 2003, part of the building closed due to flooding. At a school with miles of water and electrical valves, there are of thousands of places where systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of facilities services. Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in the wall and found a fire. By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber floated through the third floor and two fire alarms were pulled. Olaf Hansen, a math professor, said it took five minutes to evacuate from the fourth floor. "It was really calm," he said. Rebecca Bazquez, said she thought the alarm See FIRE, page 2 CFA speaks out against new Budget Photo by Jon Rodley/77*e Pride A fter f ire a larms r ang t hrough A cademic H all, M ichael V asile o f t he S an M arcos F ire D epartment a rrived o n s cene w ith t wo o ther f irefighters, W ednesday. The California State University system (CSU) will experience a 20 percent decrease in state support j n two years if Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is approved by the Legislature this summer. The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and would, once again, increase student fees. The California Faculty Association (CFA) has produced a summary analysis of how the proposed budget cuts will affect the CSU. Included in the summary is the impact on student fees and financial aid. The CFA's primary concerns are the decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher ratio, and the likely loss of teachers, courses, and/or library services. "The last thing California can afford right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John Travis, CFA president and a government professor at Humboldt State University. State Treasurer Phil Angelides will start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call attention to the proposed budget and how it will affect the CSU system and the impact it will have on California's economy. "The CSU infuses billions each year into the California economy and produces tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis. For more information on Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004/05 budget or to see the CFA's 10-page analysis go to: www.calfax.org/reseach.html.

The new Kellogg library is hosting tours of the new building for members of the campus community. Grand opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, March 5, at noon, and will host a number of speakers and performing artists. "We welcome students to come in and explore on their own," said Melanie Chu, outreach and multicultural librarian. "We've got maps at the information kiosk, when you walk into the front, and we also have maps at the research help desk." Chu added that a more detailed map of the new library can be found on the research webpage. Class tours can be arranged by contacting the department librarian, or individuals can tag along on another tour. Those interested can contact either Chu, at extension 4378, or Gabriela Sonntag, coordinator, information literacy program, at extension 4356. Chu said that there are different tours happening, and clubs, committees, or individuals should contact her. The library is 200,000 square feet, hosts over 300 new computers, nearly 30 study rooms and 250,000 books. Starbucks can be found on the third floor, left of the main entrance.

The ASI support for an environmental class requirement is only one step to getting the proposed requirement to be mandated by the administration. The Environmental Action Group (EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus. "We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI arts & science representative. The next step for the environmental requirement will be for the Academic Senate to approve it. The Academic Senate is made up of faculty that evaluates and recommends new academic matters to the President of CSUSM.

Though no one in the By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter The CSUSM nursing program, set to be operational by fall 2006, has received a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks to Congressman Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. The funds are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 2 2,2004. "I am proud to support the community coalition established at Cal State San Marcos to address San Diego County's nursing shortage by providing this $350,000 in federal funding through the FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act," Cunningham said. The money was requested by CSUSM to support the expenses of developing a nursing bachelor's degree program. If all goes as planned, by 2008 the first graduates of the program will be able to enter the workforce helping to alleviate local and national need for health care professionals. "As in hospitals all across the country, patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available staffed beds as a result of the nursing shortage. This program will train a new generation of nurses to serve our region," Cunningham said.

There will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials say that the controls have been effective in limiting enrollment. Although, there was a 45 percent increase in applicants to CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand is clearly there," said Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs. "But as the state reduces our funding, we are forced to limit admissions."

By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter As this semester's features editor, and I hope to incorporate national and international events into The Pride. This semester in the features section, we will host a column in which The Pride, along with the help of its readerships will explore national and international events. This week the topic of discussion deals with Hie exploration of Mars. I, who am personally skeptic of my own generation, was pleasantly surprised by the careful thoughts and insights of the fellow students I talked with. I have and always will, thought it important that we know what each other think about issues of importance. We live in important times, as will those who live after us. If you have an opinion you wish to express, or an event you would like to explore with us, e-mail the pride@csusm.edu (ATTN: University Voice). Please enjoy knowing this semester, though our column, what we learn from you. Brett Gladys Math major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think, I mean, what the benefits of it are a greater understanding of the world we live in. It is a lot better to have scientific backing for what you believe than to believe blindly in something. To have some sort of facts to back things up is sort of nice. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think if life somehow evolved to some extent on another planet, it would help us understand how it evolved on ours and if it evolved a different way. Maybe not using DNA the way ours is. It would be interesting and kind of lead us in the right direction of, and understanding of how we came to be. Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on mars? I am not so sure about the politics of Mars; the moon on the other hand is I think the proverbial lifting of the leg and pissing on everything to mark your territory. General comments? I think there are unseen advantages. I think that the Galileo was the satellite that saw the comet that hit Jupiter and we didn't know that was going to happen when we sent it out there. There could be unexpected benefits that we don't know about. I'm sure that political motives drive billions of billions of billions of dollars being spent, but there are other advantages there. Amber Davis Literature and Writing Studies major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think it put people's minds to rest to have actual proof instead of just theories like we always had. Theories that the world was round, but we never actually proved it until we went to space. We've only known for fact that the world is round for the past sixty years, right? Maybe we had theories about Mars and other places like that, but now we can maybe put people's minds to rest, and have actual proof and data. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think it is another place for man to go. It is the next natural place for us to go besides further into the ocean. We've seen what there is on land and earth, so why not go further? Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on Mars? Maybe so that we can say that we were the first ones to do it. Wasn't it the United States and Russia that had the race to get to the moon first? The same type of thing. Feel superior to get there first. General comments? I think probably money could be spent other places, put to better use. Conquering Mars and searching on Mars isn't going to solve any problems that we have. Did it really help anything? There are other things we could be doing. The whole education thing, and budget cuts, and people are going to Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter It's spacious, has lots of windows and a great view. No, this isn't the description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the new technologically savvy Kellogg Library. Isn't it the best when you start a new semester and there is a new building? This semester all of us are being greeted with a new library. The new Kellogg library is 200,000 square feet of caffeinated f un and adventure. Last Tuesday, January 20, the library opened its doors to the campus community. Checking out the new library was the first thing I did when I arrived on campus. Construction dust continues to settle during the library's first week of being open, and temporary signs guide students where and where not to go. Some of the signs are a little confusing, not everything is up and running and elevator access is a little barring. Taking the elevator to the first floor is sort of interesting. You step off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights hum. There aren't any windows here and there isn't much to see other than the writing center, math lab and classrooms full of students, lots of students. We went up to the second floor and meandered our way through the books and computer lab, getting a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to all of the new, not-yet-completed, conference rooms. We found our way out though, not to worry, and then, there it was, what I really wanted to find most of all—the media library. I owe some late fees at the video store in my town, so I have been hesitant to go in for a while. It is always nice to go where the rentals are free and you keep the video for a week. After feeding my film fix, my friend and I got on the elevator to take us to the third floor; the doors began to close when a man hopped in. He saw that we had already pressed the third floor button and relaxed against the cloth-covered wall of the elevator. We were all waiting for the doors to shut and begin moving up to the next floor. The doors began closing then reopening. A woman in her early twenties entered the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor. We smiled. "Is this the first floor?" asked the woman to the man. "No, no, I think this is the second floor. The main entrance is on the See LIBRARY, page 5 Campus police, and programs offered By NICOLE SULLIVAN Pride StaffWriter Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that in the third week of February she can host a date rape and sexual assault class at the University Village Apartments or the Field house. She wants the class to be comfortable and with food and a discussion type setting and is open to everyone. Officer Kayyon was hired in March and is excited to see the things that will take place on campus. Last semester the university police offered two Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshops which teach women about rape awareness, prevention and self defense tactics. The University police want to offer more RAD workshops this semester. This spring the university police wants to have a DUI booth with sight impaired goggles and sobriety tests. Chief Schulteis said, "We have two goals here as the campus police. One, is to protect the community by enforcing the law and keeping the education process uninterrupted. And, two, we want to teach the community how to better protect themselves from crime and hazards." Chief Schulteis also said that he wants more officers to get specialization certificates, which can aid the community about awareness. More workshops like RAD, date rape and sexual assault, alcohol awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered. Campus police also offers an escort service. A Community Service Officer (CSO), or an officer, will assist anyone to their car by simply calling extension 4567 at any one of the blue emergency phones located on campus. The escort service is there for anyone who needs it. Whether you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out to your car late at night or locked your keys in the car, a CSO or officer will be there to escort. \Officer Alex Mohn said, "We want to provide a better learning environment for the students and we want them to be able to come to school and not feel threatened. We don't want them to be afraid to call us and ask for an escort service. We want everyone to know that we are here to help the students and faculty." �L IBRARY from page 4 thirdfloor,"said the man. The woman said, "God, I was just asking a question." "Well, uh, I mean, uh, I think that the first floor is down and we are going to the third floor, which is the main level. Maybe that is the level you want." His tone was not sarcastic. He was probably being more helpful to someone who has serious anger issues than he needed to be. And then we all stood there in uncomfortable silence. I looked over at my friend and gave him the 'she is a psycho' face. He agreed. I then looked over and gave the man the same look. He responded by signaling to me with the 'I have no idea what just happened here' look. We all stood there in uncomfortable silence. We all arrived on the third floor. "I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking dick," said the woman. She seemed sort of flustered and tripped a little over the threshold as she exited. "I don't know what I said," said the man. "Hell if I know," I said. "But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots of drugs before coming to school." We all had a good chuckle and walked off in separate directions. The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I can only assume she was frustrated because she was lost and not because of the answer she got to her question. P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR: Maybe she was lost because not all posted in the ' RESTROOMS library are perfectly clear, yet. My friend and I prior to getting on the elevator were lost ourselves. Even a staff member we saw on the asylum-esque first floor warned us in passing not to get lost because it was easy to do. Her frustration does not, however excuse her bitchy demeanor.

Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for the CSU By Cal St Univ Chancellor CHARLES B. REED Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had good holidays and that you are looking forward to your new classes. There have been significant developments on the state budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we know about the CSU budget. As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative hearings, we will need all of your help communicating with legislators to make sure that adequate funding is available so that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000 students. The governor proposed cutting $240 million or 9 percent from the California State University system for the 2004-05 fiscal year. This will potentially limit student access by approximately 20,000 students if the cuts are implemented as proposed. This new cut, combined with the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health. been cut in the past two years by $771 You probably have read or heard about million or a 28.8 percent reduction in state the governor's proposal to increase support for students. undergraduate fees by 10 percent, which .

Ifyou would like more information about the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit our website at http://www.calstate.edu/ BudgetCentral/index.shtml. The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our students. To continue to do so, we need all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff to convey a simple fact: that the CSU is working for California. We need everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if quality, access and affordability disappear from the California State University. We cannot let that happen. �m By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What better way to spend a Sunday night than to samba dancing at Café Sevilla? With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday night monotony so we ventured off to the Gaslamp district downtown. There, we found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining room that lured us back. We paid a $7 cover fee upon entering the club. Dance lessons had already started but we decided to join the fun, We could not help but laugh at the others and ourselves as we imitated a lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast as most modern dance moves, we tried our best to catch on to the samba choreography. Believe it or not, there is a proper way to shake your hips, and the variations of hip shaking are what make the samba come alive. It is possible that the instructor's bells contributed to the liveliness as well. The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we followed was very conducive to making the dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps and adding our own spice to the dance. It was refreshing to see that the others who surrounded us came in all different shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and confidence. An older gentleman brought his stuff with absolutely no concern for some comic relief with his bravado. Oppothe beat or particular style of the music. site from Eric and I, across the dance floor, On the other side, a group of college aged a goofy man in his late sixties was strutting girls looked as if they were rehearsing for the band to play. There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries and apples, to compliment the evening. To our surprise, the band consisted of seven drummers. What kind of band is this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or some type of instrumental variation? We waited in suspense as we began to doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we came to the club on the wrong night. The music did not sound like the upbeat Latin tune that we had heard on the soundtrack to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort of culture shock that came over us, as we began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently, the others around us felt the same way, as nobody except for the goofy old man and an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing. After the first couple of songs, the beat of the drum began to grow on us, as we found our way shaking across the floor, with about thirty to forty others. With the exception of a couple of cocktail sessions in between, Eric and I found it difficult to refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it was not the typical samba music that we followed in the previous hour, or the sound and movement of Carmen Electra, but we experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket. Now, every Sunday night isfilledwith a touch of "little Brazil." Club Sevilla features live entertainment every night of the week. Brazilian night is every Sunday. Tuesday, Wednesday, . and Thursday, a salsa band plays live.

A :« Mi - »••••" T MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Indie director and animator Sam Chen will spend this spring 2004 semester as resident filmmaker in the visual and performing arts department here at CSUSM. During his visit Chen will host a screening of his film S am C hen "Eternal Gaze," and he "will conduct eight workshops on the creative process of animation. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, Feb. 2 in Arts 240. The computer-animated 16 minute film created by Chen, with music by composer Jamey Scott, is the winner of numerous accolades including the Best Animation award at the Siggrapph 2003 ClryAZ^E » A. • O ' & E THE PRIDE Award winning animator brings film and expertise to CSUSM I T -- M S Electronic Theater. Animation has been a medium often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures. "Eternal Gaze" is different. This film chronicles the life of a real man. Chen's film pays homage to Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) a brilliant twentieth century surrealist sculptor, painter and draftsman who never received the acclaim of his contemporaries. In a statement Chen said, "With careful attention to historical facts and details, the works of art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from Giacometti's lifework.. .But most of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt story and a loving tribute to one of the greatest but least recognized artists of our time." Giacometti, like many artists, suffered from a tormented mind. It gave him the inspiration and talent to create. At the same time, it frustrated him to the point of destroying his art when he felt he could not achieve his artistic vision. While giving us a look into the artist's mind and environment, "Eternal Gaze" illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator and his creation. Giacometti's sculptures were his love. In this film Chen givQS those sculptures the life they need to love him back. For an opportunity to learn from Chen, students, staff and faculty should contact Kristine Diekman at kdiekman@csusm.edu to reserve a seat in the workshops he will be hosting. Chen will be sharing his knowledge of story and character development, storyboarding and how to study human movement in order to animate it. He will also speak about how to work as an independent filmmaker Photo Courtsey of www.eternalgaze.com including pitching ideas, sell- Alberto Giacometti's face as painstakingly created by S am ing yourself and getting your Chen, director, writer and animator of "Eternal G aze." film seen.

What does this mean for the CSU? Our student fees raised 40 percent within a year — outstanding. It means that EOPS and outreach programs will cease to exist for a year or longer. It means that that the CSU can't grow. It means that teachers lost their jobs and students' education must suffer.

The reapplication process will include a lottery drawing of names that will guarantee rooms for only 125 students out of 460 currently living there. Other students who did not win the lottery and want to continue living in the UVA are going to have to wait till May 1 to find out if they will have a place to live the next school year. According to Director of the UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82 percent freshmen living in the dorms. She said that the next year there will be 55 percent freshmen living in the dorms giving it a different atmosphere. The lottery drawing has stirred up mixed reactions amongst students who currently live in the dorms. Although business major Lupe Soto is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing he is not buying into the lottery drawing. According to Soto, "Students that live here should have priority." Priority should also be given to students that apply to live at the UVA early. Freshman Michelle Lansinger does not agree. Although she is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks that the plan is fair since it gives students the opportunity to stay at the UVA.

However, before we get into the ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would like to welcome back all of you who are returning for another semester on our h ill For those who are joining us for the first time this semester* welcome and do not be intimidated. It is my understanding from some of the new students that I have spoke to that the orientation process was less than reassuring. To that I say relax, but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is by far the worst for it is both demanding and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all you first timers not to get discouraged: it will get easier with time. For those who are not familiar with the position of ombudsman, I will give you a quick background. I write for the paper as a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the ombudsman does precisely is provide a liaison for the readers to sift through and respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore, g t^r P ride I encourage readers to e-mail me with their thoughts or condemnations for The Pride, to which I respond independently based solely on the validity of the claim. In other words, the ombudsman is like the conscience of The Pride. As for the new uncertainty, that could be the slogan for the future of the CSU system. Certainly changes are in our future with the proposals made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes are at the best uncertain and at the worst will resonate grimly through the halls of our campus from class cancellations and overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice their opinion on the proposed fee hikes and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a matter that cannot be thrown to the side. Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will be a constant theme throughout the semester, please e-mail me and let me know your thoughts on his ideas. Also, e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu HELP WANTED! g Mr Rrid^| BE INVOLVED W ITH YOUR STUDENT PAPER! GREAT RESUME BUILDER!

The ethnic studies department has even less support; there is no budget staff or clerical support, and it is offered only as a minor. "It's not accidental, it's historical," said Dr. Linda Pershing, associate professor, women's studies. "The student and faculty population based on 2002's enrollment is 63 percent of the students enrolled in classes were women. One-third of those students were from diverse backgrounds." Dr. Pershing was the first full-time staff hired for the women's studies department in 2001. This was one of the first majors offered at CSUSM and was started by Joan Gunderson back in 1983. Dr. Pershing had to step downfromchair of her department. She said it was an overload and that she cannot run the whole thing on her back and put in 80 hours a week.

"The forum's purpose is to encourage people to learn about what 'whiteness' is and to think of it more politically," Moon said. "We are not trying to be preachy but educational," Moon said. "Whiteness itself is not a problem; it's the invisibility of whiteness that is a problem."

The can By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWriter S PRINTER set to rail 2 005 possible future alternative to CSUSM parking passes By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride StaflfWriler North San Diego County Transit District (NCTD) is working on a $351.5 million plan that may eliminate uncertainties facing many students in regard to whether they will have a parking space at Cal State San Marcos or not. NCTD has been planning to connect Oceanside to Escondido with a light rail line since 1986, but the plan has been brewing in the bureaucratic coffeepot ever since. Only recently did the federal government give NCTD a grant of $152 million to commence the project. Currently, there is no parking structure for students at Cal State San Marcos. Rather than paying $158 for a parking permit, some students have been opting to park off-campus, uncertain if they will be ticketed or towed. This uncertainty may be more cost-effective in the long run, depending only on these students not being ticketed or towed. Students at CSUSM who look around campus may come to the conclusion that most of the buildings they see are named after private donors whofinancedthem. However, it is very unlikely that the parking structure that is beingfinancedby the students will be named after them. The pending project will give future students at CSUSM a choice between financing parking structures and paying for a bus pass. Jamone Moore, senior, psychology, said, "I think it's good J OIN T HE P RIDE STAFF N EXT S EMESTER as long as there's a student discount; parking is ridiculous." Currently, San Diego Mass Transit System charges students that go to SDSU $108 for the semester pass and $65 for UCSD students, both of which are good for unlimited use. According to NCTD spokesman Tom Kelleher, NCTD is trying to create a student discount similar to that in the San Diego transit system. "We are currently doing a fare study and are looking at a semester pass for students," Kelleher said. NCTD formally gave the light rail line the name "Sprinter" last February, for its energetic starts and smooth stops. According to NCTD, the Sprinter will connect the Coaster, Amtrak, NCTD's bus service, the BREEZE, Mira Costa College, Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos at La Moree Road. This has the potential to reduce traffic by putting thousands of people on mass transportation. The Sprinter is expected to carry as many as 12,000 people by the end of thefirstyear. That number is expected to grow, as people become more dependent on mass transportation. NCTD explains that by creating a more efficient means of mass transportation, pollution will in turn subside. No overhead lines are needed for the Sprinter as it is powered by a low emission high-tech diesel engine. The groundbreaking ceremony has been delayed a couple of months, but the actual date of completion has not. According to Kelleher, the rail line is to be completed by the end of 2005.

Her major is human development, though she's thinking of changing her major, because what she is really interested in is counseling. She works parttime at a veterinary hospital, the "Village Vet Hospital" in Escondido. "I really like animals. I grew up on a horse ranch." Audrey lives in Vista with herfianceRick White, and her two cats, Oscar, and Gracie. Wedding Bells Audrey and Rick plan on getting married next year. "We actually just set it (the date) a week ago," June 19, 2004. "It's weird because I've known him for three years, but been engaged for like two," Schenck said. "I've always been the engaged Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77je Pride one, but never the bride." When asked where they met, she laughed and told me that it was a little embarrassing. "We met at The Temecula Stampede." Her friends wanted her to go. "I was dreading going. I didn't know how to country line-dance and I was like 4 how geeky.'" While at the stampede, "he asked me to dance, and was so charming." She laughed and told me, "I fit right in at San Marcos, I'm not single." She's really excited that Christmas is coming up. "This is the first Christmas that we get to spend together. We'll get our first Christmas tree." Audrey's Day It was Monday morning around eleven fifteen. Between classes, Audrey agreed to be interviewed. When asked about her day, she said, "I'm not a morning person. I was tired." After she woke up, she had to hit the snooze button, and then her cat Oscar ran around the apartment. "I hit snooze and yelled at him (Oscar)." He jumps on Audrey every morning. "I was watching a client's cat. It needs medicine two times a day." She was running late. "It takes half an hour (to get ready). I'm usually late. I'll be late to my own funeral! I think I can get dressed and out of there in an hour, but that never happens. Something always happens, like I can't find a shoe or whatever." On her way to school, "I ran into a lot of traffic and parked in the boonies!" Her first class was linguistics, then she gets a one hour break, and takes a class called Human Impact On The Environment. When asked about that class, she told me "It's interesting; I'm kind of a nature girl, so it's great to see how humans have an impact on the environment, and what effects they have." After school, Audrey plans on going home, sitting on the couch, and watching some TV, and maybe doing some reading. A udrey S chenek a nd her fiance hug e ach other.

"Our biggest advantage as a major is that it qualifies students for a broad range of jobs," said Dr. Araceli Soriano, the department's chair. "The students are able to understand human development from the three different standpoints of sociology, biology, and psychology."

"Students can distinguish themselves, depending on their focus," Soriano said. "For example, depending on the emphasis, some career choices may be teaching, counseling, or even juvenile justice. It just depends on the student." The recent establishment of the Human Development Club provides human development majors with a friendly, informative environment for exploring the career opportunities available to them. "The club that the stude'nts started has created a greater interest and awareness about and within the program," Soriano said.

Program options for students seeking abachelor's degree include accounting, financing, global business management, high technology management, service sector management, or a minor in business administration. A final option for senior students is the "Senior Experience." The "Senior Experience" is a two semester, academic endeavor that gives students the opportunity to work in groups with local business organizations on real-world projects to gain experience as they leap from students to nine-to-fivers. The college of business masters program (MBA) at CSUSM is more generalized into management and leadership in either the public or private sector.

Regina Eisenbach, associate dean of business, said, "We're using our resources the best way, and are careful in what we offer, making sure students can finish the curriculum before graduation." A great tool and asset of students undertaking the challenges of the business college curriculum are their Associated Students, Inc. representatives, Nicole Rawski and Adam Taylor. Elected by the students, these public officials are the middlemen of the business student body and the faculty and administration. College of Business Representative Adam Taylor said, "Our job is to keep students informed and aware of the availability of resources, basically, giving students in the business of college a voice." On budget cuts to the department Taylor said, "Business professors cost more, so we're taking bigger cuts, and really feeling the full force of CSUSM's cutbacks." On a lighter note, Taylor informed that the groundbreaking for a brand new business building will be commencing this academic year. Additional mediums for CSUSM business students include the valuable networking of the extensive Alumni Association and other business oriented organizations available on campus. M aintaining b alance i n a ll a reas ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter It is 4:00 a.m. and already in homes across America you can hear the pitter patter of tiny feet. These are familiar sounds of children going back and forth, as their parents are getting them ready for routine trips to day care or the baby sitter. This is the grim reality of working families trying their utmost best to balance work, school, and family responsibilities. Melanie Irvine, a graduate student at CSUSM, is fortunate to have not only the support of her husband - her job is also supporting her. She is a third grade teacher at Pacific Rim Elementary School in Carlsbad. It is a blessing to have both husband and work force supportive in the achievement of Irvine's goals. Irvine advised those who would like to take up this challenge to be "prepared to be committed andflexible."She is focused on getting her masters in Literacy education. Roleen Strathmeyer is an undergraduate student majoring in Liberal Studies. She used to work full time until her job restricted her from taking necessary classes due to mandated overtime. The long and tedious hours she was forced to work overextended the time necessary to complete eight units; it took her one whole year. Strathmeyer realized this drawn out marriage of work and school was keeping i .A her from what she desired scholastically. ^Making the decision and following the financially frustrating path, she left her job and attended school full time. This has renewed her commitment to school. Her husband Jeff is a graduate student at UCSD and supports Strathmeyer, yet the maintenance of a good marriage can be found in the long weekends at the UCSD library. Strathmeyer smiles, "at least we're in the same vicinity together." My wife Charlotte is a tremendous help and asset to me. Our kids are still young and stay in daycare because we both work. Pursuing a degree in communication, my time away from home extends beyond my job. We both share the responsibilities of taking care of the kids and having someone available in case of emergencies.

El invierno esta aquí y la palabra "Navidad" se escucha por todos lados. En el mundo latino no existe tradición más universal que la celebración de las festividades del mes de Diciembre. Su sola mención trae emociones, excitación y alegría en niños, días de diversión y fiesta en jóvenes y esperanza de reencuentro y reunión con familias y amigos para todos. Para los latinos, el mes de Diciembre es de los más importantes del año. No hay nada mejor para los latinos que celebrar la Navidad en sus países de origen. Sin embargo, muchos de los latinos que vivimos aquí en los Estados Unidos no podemos ir a nuestros países y celebrar la Navidad allá, pero tratamos de continuar y revivir nuestras tradiciones estando aquí. Las tradiciones de Navidad en los países latinoamericanos son muy similares, pero cada país tiene una manera especial de celebrarla, al igual que cada familia. La religión que predomina entre los latinos es la religión católica, lo cual contribuye a que la mayoría de las tradiciones sean basadas en la religión católica. Las tradiciones de navidad latinas se identifican con las posadas, las piñatas, los regalos, los cuetes, la noche buena, las pastorelas, etc. Por ejemplo, en México las celebraciones principales son: comenzando con el primer domingo de adviento, en el que se lleva a la iglesia a bendecir una corona decorada de acuerdo a cada familia con cinco velas (tres moradas, una rosa y una blanca). Cada domingo se enciende una vela, se hace una oración hasta el día de Navidad en la que se encienden las cinco durante la cena. El día 16 de Diciembre comienzan -las posadas que representan la travesía de María y José durante los nueve meses. Sé pide posada cantando una letanía, se rompe la piñata, se toma ponche y se reparten los aguinaldos. Los católicos van á la "Misa del Gallo" (o a la del día siguiente, Navidad). Para la cena de Nochebuena, se sirve el pavo (o las gallinas), pupusas (tortillas con especias, tomate y carne de res o pollo) y aquellos que les quede apetito, ensalada también. Listen P rocess.

El 28 de Diciembre se celebra el día de los santos inocentes, jugándole bromas a los conocidos, aunque realmente representa el día en que el rey Heródes mandó matar a todos los menores de dos años temiendo perder su reino! En San José de Costa Rica, en el día de Navidad, la ciudad se ilumina de manera muy especial, a lo cual se añaden las luces de Bengala, cohetes, fuegos artificiales. Abren parques de diversiones con toboganes, carruseles y ruedas de la fortuna. Para los adultos hay ruletas, tiros al blanco, la famosa lotería y toda clase de juegos de azar. Se presentan corridas de toros mansos con toreros aficionados, partidos de fútbol y carreras de ciclistas. Todo esto, después de los bailes populares y familiares que siguieron a la cena de Nochebuena. Es larga la lista de actividades y tradi- ciones que los países latinos hacen durante el mes de diciembre. Los latinos que estamos aquí en los Estados Unidos tratamos de revivir esas tradiciones bonitas que nos recuerdan a nuestros países, y los que pueden viajan a ellos durante este mes para reunirse con sus familiares. Una de las tradiciones que tratamos de revivir los latinos en los Estados Unidos son las Pastorelas. Este pasado 5 y 6 de Diciembre, el Centro de la Artes de Escondido ofreció la obra de la pastorela presentada en español y por estudiantes de la Universidad de San Marcos y de otras escuelas de la región. Esta obra presentó canciones^ bailables de varias regiones de México, así como la popular y tradicional historia de el nacimiento del niño Jesús y el camino a Belén, ofreciendo a su público parte de las bonitas tradiciones Latinoamericanas. A b oost o f e nergy, t he h elathy a lternative By TABIKA ROJAS Pride Staff Writer Students often lead busy lives. Most juggle schoolwork, employment, family life, and social activities. Some have early morning classes and skip breakfast or have classes straight through lunch. Skipping meals can make it difficult to stay sharp during class time. A recent poll that I conducted of CSUSM students suggests that most use a common method to stay alert during their school day, and that is eating. Eating seems to be a popular choice among most students, and it's not just any food that students are reaching for to give them an energy boost, but snack foods. More times than not, students head to the nearest vending machine to grab that big bag of chips or candy bar to satisfy their hunger pains, and help keep them awake during classes. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson of Student Health Services there are some important things to remember when choosing a healthy snack. "Reading the nutritional label and knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack," Nicholson said. Also, Nicholson warns students that just because a label states, "low fat," doesn't necessarily mean it is good for you. She says there is good fat and bad fat and knowing the difference is key. Staying away form hydrogenated palm oils, a type of fat, and concentrating on monounsatu- "Knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack." rated fats is some advice that she gives. Finally, Nicholson said, "get your five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and tomato sauce on a pizza does not count." One way to ensure that you get your fruits and vegetables is to shop ahead of time and bring fresh fruits and veggies in a baggie to class for a snack. Lowfat muffins or breads such/as pumpkin, zucchini, or banana are also healthy snacks. For those who want further information, individual nutrition counseling is available with Cathy Nguyen, the health educator at Student Health Services. �L ETTERS TO THE E DITOR Good food can be found in the Dome Ryan Mock's article "Food at "for outside companies to have CSUSM tastes so bad when it profitable operations here."

Trouble R< SHARED G OVERNANCE ByDIDILUND Pride StaffWriter The university depends on shared governance to maintain credibility and grant various powers to the students. This shared governance essentially means that the university has allowed students to sit on a variety of committees — committees that dictate all sorts of things that directly affect students and their pocketbooks. Everything from parking fees to academic majors, grade appeals to campus beautification is addressed in these committees. Decisions made directly affect students, who should therefore be involved in the decision making process. Unfortunately, that ideal is not always realized. Although many administrators would like to see the seats filled by students, it's difficult to get them to sit on these committees when work and class schedules leave few moments to spare. Even when the student seats are filled, these committees are not always utilized. Early last year, the parking fee increase proposal was submitted to the student fee advisory committee, who informed then CSUSM President Gonzalez of their recommendation. The fee increase would be a burden on the students, they said. It's too steep. Gonzalez and the powers that be remained silent on the parking increase until, two weeks before the end of the semester; they announced a huge fee increase. The advisory committee's recommendation was effectively thrown in the garbage and students were outraged. This disregard to the student fee committee demonstrates the lack of power we students have on this campus. We are given these advisory committees as tokens; students have no real power influencing the policies being developed which govern our lives. It's politics as usual. Last week, Arnold proposed $23.7 million in cuts to the CSU system after he reassured students in the higher education system by promising no cuts. "Education is my passion and Cali- By TABIKA ROJAS Pride StaffWriter Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/The Pride "Everything from parking fees to a cademic majors, grade appeals to c ampus beautification is addressed in these c ommittees/' forma is not where it should be," he said. That's right; it's not. When students can't even afford to pay their parking fees, there's a problem. Recently the CSSA has co-authored AB-550, a bill designed to implement a statewide student fee advisory committee, a body made up of mostly students who would deliberate over proposed fee increases coming from the Board of Trustees. In its original form, this proposition would allow the students power to kick the proposals back to the legislation if they felt the fees were unrealistic or disrespecting students' abilities to pay these fees while still maintaining access to quality education. That's shared governance. However, this bill has been revised so that this committee would be powerless in changing proposed fee cuts but maintain an advisory status. Still, it's a step in the right direction. Until our legislators allow us to have a real say in the policies which govern our lives, shared governance will continue to be a form of politically correct rhetoric for our policy makers and politics as usual will continue hacking away at our pocketbooks. Recently I have experienced some frustration with trying to create my schedule for the spring semester. I am a Literature and Writing major here at CSUSM and like many students I must try to balance my school schedule with work and family life. This has not always been easy, especially when the classes I need are only offered once a semester and at one scheduled time. Some of the classes are either too early or too late in the afternoon and conflict with my work schedule. I know that I am not alone in this complaint as I have heard several students with the same problem. Karen Hart, a senior here at CSUSM said, "I had to rearrange my job schedule in order to enroll in one of the classes I need to graduate because it was only offered at one time during the day." I contacted the Literature and Writing Department and spoke with the Department Chair of Literature and Writing Studies who is responsible for creating the schedule, Dr. Susie Cassel. Cassel said, "there are only about two hundred Literature and Writing majors here at CSUSM and that is not enough students to offer the classes at a variety of times." She further explained that all Core classes are offered in the same semester. When I asked her about solutions such as online courses or independent study courses, Dr. Cassel explained that independent study courses are offered, and they have done many over the years. "The only drawback to the independent study courses is the students don't get the benefit of discussion," said Cassel. The independent study courses are also not allowed for courses that are offered regularly. WÈÊÊÊËÊÈË Instructors are able to conduct 1 online courses and those students interested should feel free to 0 approach their instructors with the request. Dr. Cassel also says she tries to make sure that all the courses are in different time slots each semester in order to give every student the ••3 opportunity to take the courses. Night courses are also now being «¡11 piloted tofindout if enough students CSUSM students are interested in a night program. have become used to seeing classes full or 309B is offered this semester, and cancelled online. 309A will be offered at night in the spring semester, so all students interested in a night program should enroll in these courses. Dr. Cassel also wants students to know that if enough students were interested in a course being offered at a specific time she would be willing to offer it. Dr. Cassel ended by saying, "I welcome complaints suggestions or comments. I have an open door policy" �THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 9, 2003 1 1 IT'S A LL A BOUT S ELL YOUR B OOKS FOR CA$H NOW!

Here's what they liked: #1 Photo Courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures "Ernest Saves Christmas," starring Jjm Varney, is the story of how Santa Clause decides to retire and hire someone else to take his place, however, the real Santa ends up in jail, and it is up to Ernest, played by Varney, to get him out. Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers The Second favorite movie was "A Christmas Story," starring Peter Billingsley. This movie takes place in the 1940's, and is a classic story of a boy's holiday dream to get the one thing that he desires for Christmas. Unfortunately, in his case, he desires a BB gun. Disapproving of the idea, his mother repeatedly crushes his dreams by replying^ "you'll shoot your eye out." "Ernest is the man!" -Paul Han "It was so funny when the kid wanted that BB gun, his whole family was hilarious. It's a classic Christmas movie." -Sarah Blakely "I've watched it with my family every Christmas, so it brings back memories." -Mike Zahalan Photo Courtesy of Paramount Pictures "Up In Smoke" "It's Full of action." —Cory Haynes Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers Photo Courtesy of 20th Century Fox 'Tlome Alone," starring Macaulay Culkin, is the story of a young 8-year-old boy who was accidentally left at home while his rather large family went on a vacation to Europe for Christmas. Left to his own defenses, he battles burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who try to rob his parents' house. Out of the people surveyed on campus, many said that "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" was their favorite movie to see during the holidays. Starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, this slapstick comedy is a comforting reminder that there's someone out there with a family that's crazier than our own. "Chevy Chase is comedy!" -Cole Kristensen "Because it is a classic." - Chad Medina #5 "Why? It's hilarious. " -André Rosemond Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers "The Green Mile" "It teaches that a person shouldn't be judged by skin color and should be given a fair chance to defend themselves." -Patricia Guevarra Photo Courtesy of Dimension Films Photo Courtesy of Sony Wonder "Frosty The Snowman," which has many cartoon movie versions, is a classic Christmas story that has been a favorite movie for many generations. "Bad Santa" is a new movie, starring Billy Bob Thorton and Lauren Graham. It is the story of a drinking, smoking, filthy-mouthed, sexobsessed Santa impersonator, who steals from department store safes over the holiday seasons with his elf partner, played by Tony Cox. "The movie was great, lots of comedy, and I had a great time watching it." -Maria Arroya t Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema "Friday After Next" "Because it's very funny" —Jamal Tate � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Haynes' days have been since she started her campaign f or the CSUSM presidency. From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach, back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I haven't had much time to think of all the next steps," Haynes said. She's been writing to-do lists for the sev- eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started anything yet. Making the transition from Houston to San Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy a house or just rent? She said those are the things on her mind lately. Having to move is nothing new for her.

Haynes CSU focuses on alcohol safety ByCHADSPINKS Pride StaffWriter As part of an ongoing effort by administration and the CSU system to promote alcohol awareness, the Clarke Field House will be conducting a Responsible Host training seminar Dec. 5 at noon, focusing on alcohol safety: an issue of concern with the first year of on campus housing. A fter the drinking related death of Cal State Chico student, Adrian Heideman, in Oct. 2000, the CSU system sought revisions in the alcohol policy of all campuses. Shortly after, the Substance Abuse Advisory Council was formed at CSUSM. Susan Mitchell, who was a member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council when it formed, said that the CSU board of trustees disseminated information t hat r ecommended w hat World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to increasing awareness of HIV and AIDS, was commemorated yesterday. "Live and let live" was the slogan for the 2003 campaign that focused on eliminating the HlV-related stigma and discrimination which have been identified as the major contributors to the expansion of this epidemic.

(ASI) sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses in the California State University (CSU) system gathered to discuss issues like raising tuition fees and shared governance in the CSU. "It's a lot of hard work—it's not a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice president of external affairs for ASI. Roper and three other members of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000 students in the CSU system. With student fees raising over 30 percent this semester, the Lobby Corps promised to fight for lowering student fees. The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not raising fees," Roper said. He said that the CSU broke their promise to not raise fees over 10 percent in a year. Now the CSSA must work with other groups like the University of California (UC) system. He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger will fund the school systems Janu- ary 2004 so the race is on for the Lobby Corps. The Lobby Corps promotes student welfare by influencing law making in California, and working with the CSU Board of Trustees. The 25 members of the Board of Trustees manage the CSU system. The Lobby Corps works to hammer out kinks in the CSU system. The students find what's wrong with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association (CSSA) conferences, and then lobby at state legislative meetings Photo courtesy of Erik Roper/457 ASI President Honey Folk (left) and VP of External Affairs Erik Roper (right) discuss matters at the C SSA See LOBBY CORPS, page 3 convention in Fullerton, Nov. 15.

Canada was her permanent home during this time; it's where she continued her education. "Having done a masters degree in Canada, you begin to get an exposure to other cultures and get an outsider view of the U.S.," Haynes said. This view grew even more when she moved to Cairo, Egypt in the seventies. After teaching in Texas for five years, Haynes wrote her dissertation in Cairo in 76\ "It was a very progressive time in Egypt," she said. The scorched land of oases and temples was building alliances with neighboring countries, and women's issues were gaining importance. Haynes worked part time with Egyptian universities by defining academic programs in social work. She also worked with the U.S. Aide Office in analyzing Egyptian public policy.

The university Provost, Robert Sheath said he has two main expectations for the president. One is that she needs to lead the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects her to continually improve the schools standing in the community and improve community relationships. "Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well positioned to do both of these," Sheath said. "She showed all the attributes that we would want in a president " Sheath said he likes her philosophy to seek to understand and then be understood. "I hope all sectors of the campus can get behind her and support her and move us forward," Sheath added. CFA President for CSUSM George Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion." Diehr said he doesn't want her to have any preconceived notions about faculty workloads at CSUSM. "I hope she takes a hard look at the objective data that shows faculty at San Marcos have a heavier student load than faculty at most of our sister campuses," he said. "She should also appreciate that we spend about $7 million less on our faculty salaries and benefits than other CSU campuses of our size." Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned about her adherence to the Budget Supplemental Report Language. "Let's just see what happens," he said. Honey Folk, ASI president, said the environment at CSUSM is directly related to the president. She said the president should be open, honest and willing and provide access to education. "It's time to bring about the reality of the mission of the CSU," Folk said. Folk explained that CSUSM has a campus culture that values shared governance. "We demand to be included into the decision making process," she said. "I am very, very excited about having the opportunity during my term as president to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students." �A LCOHOL from page 1 Assessing perception of alcohol and drug usage at CSUSM Assessing the extent of the problem on campus was one recommendation. The council administered the Core survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000 students, of which 585 responded. "The results show that Cal State San Marcos is below the national average for alcohol use," said Mitchell. # The four page survey; developed by the Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range of issues regarding alcohol and substance abuse. Questions were asked concerning how students perceive drug and alcohol use among peers, and how students have been affected by their own usage.

That money is used for student related activities, free concerts, food, childcare benefits, workshops, and other governmental recreational activities on campus. ASI provides students with interesting seminars as seen with alcohol awareness week, workshops such as car maintenance, speakers' series, and many other programs and services. ASI also provides movie tickets, NCTD bus passes 5-cent copies, stamps, and other services. At the beginning of the semester, ASI gave away parking vouchers.

From the College Republicans to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, club members have an outstanding network system that provides for various forms of assistance and support. Students not affiliated with any clubs or organizations also have a wealth of resources around campus. Doctor Robin Keehn is the head of the "Writing Center" located in CRA 3106-1 in the library courtyard. The writing lab provides services to approximately 200 students weekly. This is a facility for everyone. Students of all stages of writing from brainstorming to thesis constructing and outlining argumentative paper are welcome at the Writing Center. The tutors are all trained and must take and successfully pass (LTWR 525) before they can work at the center. This ensures quality service to the students. There is approximately 36 personnel on staff. Although walk-ins are welcome, staff members suggest making an appointment. Their hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 8:30am- 6:00 pm. Friday 8:30am-3:00pm. For additional information call, 760-750-4168 or visit is www.csus.edu/writing-center. The Math Center is located in the same building as the writing center. Maureen DuPont is the coordinator. 16 tutors service approximately 3,000 students per semester. The Math Center provides academic support, tutoring, and assistance to undergraduate students. It helps prepare students for the California Basic Skills P hoto b y M ark P errera tThe Pride Corkie B. Lee, Vetrans Affairs specialist hard at work for military personnel.

Music at CSUSM uniting art and technology ByALEXROSAIJNO Pride StaffWriter "This is the technology centerpiece of our music discipline" said Professor Bill Bradbury about the electronic music lab, which is also a state of the art recording studio. The Visual and Performing Arts department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are unfortunately sometimes overlooked by students at Cal State San Marcos. The VPA building is located between the Science 2 and the University Hall buildings. Even though this is a relatively new school the facilities and equipment are up to speed. Something students may not know is that there are practice rooms where any student may play the piano, for free. If students want to learn how to play the piano, classes are available. The VPA department offers courses in just about any art subject you can think of. The disciplines are broken down into the following: arts and technology track, music track, visual arts track, theatre track and arts and education track. Within these tracks, they are able to integrate cultural arts and styles from around the world. The program is very hands on and theoretical, according to the VPA website. There is a Javanese Gamelan Ensemble, which teaches students in an organized manner, how to play the different instruments of Indonesia. This class mentions when music is played and for what reasons, such as dances and drama. This class may be repeated four times. Within the classroom there are mallets and a gong that are reminiscent of the Led Zepplin gong.

These were the exact words I uttered in frustration after getting off the phone with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender and no note. Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the scene? I guess not because there was no note. It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart. We are instilled since we are little, if we make a mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is this any different? Statistics show that only 10 percent of people actually leave a note when they hit another car. So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of possessions, property, a family member, on behalf of someone's ignorance? No absolutely not! It is not fair. I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our mistakes. Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can say is what comes around goes around. On that same note, another quote comes to mind, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. * I am not saying that this person who hit my car will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or another if we do something that screws another fellow man out of something, than there will be consequences. I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession. I hope this article can instill appreciation in all our lives for the things that we do have. As for me, I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with life. By: - You may not know it, but our lives are being controlled by a box. It is a box that portrays images and pictures of things that consume our minds. This box tells us what to buy, wear, and how to act in certain situations. This box is television — it provides us with entertainment while it warps our brains. I find that when I turn on the television, I spend most of the time flipping through the channels. I rarely find something that I watch from beginning to end. That is because it is hard to find something worth watching. Lstill, however, find myself turning that TV on with the remote in my hand. When I find something that I am interested in watching, it gets interrupted by commercials so I change the channel and continue my surfing. Television, which is a part Of most families' homes, feeds us information that shapes our society. This information includes sex Sex is the biggest seller and television eats it up.

W E N KVB P L E N T Y OF By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman As we reach thefinalstretch for this semester, the pressure begins to build as term papers and final exams loom on the horizon. Now is the time where we try to pull the whole semester together and prove that we have learned from the lectures and studying. After we reach that frenzied peak, after the last paper is written and the last final completed, then we can finally relax and reflect on the O mbudsman's N otes accomplishment of having completed another semester. To those who are graduating at the end of this semester, those last papers and finals represent something sweeter. If there are no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look upon these papers and finals as the last vestiges of educational scrutiny for now they have their degree and are can move confi- dently into the world. If they plan to proceed with their education, fall graduates can face the spring semester as the beginning of that journey. With a shorter break between fail and spring, it is an easier jump into the post baccalaureate realm for the fall graduate. Most of all, it is just having the degree that matters to all students and the fall graduate enjoys that honor with a bit of uniqueness. I would like to end this column with some words on feedback. I have received feedback ranging from constructive criticism to juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a request. If «The Pride" causes some of you a great deal of pain to read, then please suggest what we can do to alleviate this pain. It is not our intention to instill a malaise upon the campus. Let me know what we can do better. Our goal is to cover stories that relate to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task or have not exploited all story possibilities, I want to know what we need to do to improve this paper for next semester and into the future.

The purpose of this brief argument is to provide another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. Used readily as both sustenance and in celebration, alcohol came to America with the first settlers in the seventeenth century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A. Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised alcohol but denounced drunkenness." With that in mind, it is curious to consider the dichotomy that alcohol has become, how it has gone from being "praised" by ministers to the double edged sword of being revered as a social tool and at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse. It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance in our society that far exceeds any other mind-altering substance. Alcohol advertisements pervade the pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways. Compared to tobacco, which had similar commercial appeal before its dangers were discovered and exploited, alcohol has emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants. However, despite the commercial appeal and the common usage of alcohol, there is a darker element to alcohol. Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to society. But drunkenness is an inevitable consequence of readily accessible alcohol. What constraint does society impose on the individual in order to avoid drunkenness? Society would dictate that ultimately the individual is accountable for his or her actions including the responsibility to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It is here that alcohol's negativity becomes cloudy because if it is the individual's responsibility to regulate his or her own alcohol consumption, then how is it that there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control? Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under conscious control . .. distinguished from an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is involuntary." Schaler is correct, human's think about their voluntary movements. Therefore, this is only one explanation for a drinkers' behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary action, which is their responsibility. It is not alcohol that controls humans; rather it is humans' irresponsibly using alcohol that sparks this negativity with results such as the Temperance Movement, Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. These results are accurate-numerically, but imply a connotation that limited alco- hol use by CSUSM students is favorable. The results are presented in a manner of influence which is similar to peer-pressure in the sense that the majority numbers are designed to instill self-doubt in those who are in the minority. Statistics are good for objective fact, but at an institute of higher learning and in this presentation, these statistics appear simplistic. Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use. With a substantial influence interwoven into the cultures of the world, alcohol use involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple survey. It is, therefore, naive to assume that the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol consumption by college students can be explained by the Core survey. It would likewise be a stretch to assume that college students would not challenge the results.

We hope to offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the festivals in your video library." Lee Ann Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian Film Festival. Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and the Executive Director for the Sand Diego Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she is still working with KGTV but, "this is really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative staff at the SDAFF. It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate about what she does. The films shown at this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16 minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze," had poignant messages, unique artistic angles, and messages that linger in the memory as you walk away from the show. The documentary "Refugee" shown Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has been traveling around the United States to different film festivals sharing this piece. Through this documentary he gives a fly on the wall view to audiences as he films the travel three boys took from their hardhitting home in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, to their parents' homes in Asian Film Festival: The Animated Movie "Eternal Gaze " distraught Cambodia, overflowing with memories of war, torture, and terror.

Not all were serious films. The first two shorts, short independent films, presented were intriguing and somewhat comi- H . cal. Each allowed a look at racial issues through different lenses. The first, "Vision Test", was taken from the results of a phone survey which asked a variety of questions dealing with racial preference including who you would feel more comfortable with as president, for a boss, a wife for your son. "Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud look at the exoticism of races and the expectations that arise in a biracial relationship. Viewing the 16 minute 3-D animation love child of director San Chen, also the Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a flash into another time, another person's mind and love for the art of creation. This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like m yself' Chen said in an interview after the production. Working for three years with a variety of programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze". The films presented by the San Diego Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing these three films and documentary I know it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the standards of Hollywood after entertaining the amusing, charming, and provocative methods used by creators and directors featured by the SDAFF. Urban Bush WomenTeaching at CSUSM By M ŒELLE WILLS Prick StaffWriter On Tuesday the 11th, the famous Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman from Queens New York, Reverend Nia Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York taught a dance class at CSUSM. The previous day, on November 10th' they had given a performance excerpt from one of their famous works entitled "Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to personal, and social images of the way that we interpret beauty, class, and our own sense of self-worth. After having seen the performance, students seemed excited to be able to learn a dance from the Urban Bush Women themselves, and eagerly moved out onto the dance floor. With energy and style Reverend Eubanks lead the class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire helped to show students how to move. Reverend Eubanks began the class by allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students a call and response method from Ghana, Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students would respond by shouting back "Ame"', which means, "Yes I am!" While warming up, students were shown how to make a "chalice" of energy over their heads, then were told to release that energy by bringing their hands slowly back down the sides of URBAN BUSH WOMEN: Hair Stories their bodies. Eubanks had them bring their hands up to the front of the room, and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As the warm-up became more complex, she encouraged students by telling them that they were doing a good job, and reminded them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without inhibitions, and at orie point called out See URBAN BUSH, page 12 �••• SELL YOUR BOOKS FOR CASH NOW We have the largest buyback list, Barriett: Sell your books at The University Store Calculus for Business Econ Life $58.00 Myers: Psychology: Myers In Modules $50.50 Bilistein: Problem Solving Approach Math Elem School Teachers $48.25 At our tent at Founders Plaza starting Dushkin: American History Vol. 2 $12.25 HOLIDAY SHOPPING MADE EASY ^s^ Jwfc The University Store has hundreds of gift ideas for family and friends, Get a coupon good toward any t purchase at • The University f Store when you sell your books.* Free shoulder tote bag with any $25 purchase of general book titles for all ages.

The PG rating allows people of all ages to enjoy this semi-humorous and exciting tale of what can Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom happen to a family on the way to vacation. Another Disney inspired movie from its crowd drawing ride, Haunted Mansion offers few comical moments, otherwise, the ride is a much better and more thrilling experience than the movie. Jim Evers (Murphy) is a focused real estate agent whose time is spent more on the job than with his family. Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom Jim Evers (Murphy) brings his family to Gracie Mansion URBAN BUSH from page 1 "now when you all are doing this, get into it!"

While teaching them to shake their bodies, she told them "even if your shimmying His stunning wife, Sara Evers (Thompson), a family focused real estate agent is anxious for the family time that has been lost due to the over exuberant sales minded and money driven husband has left behind. Murphy makes plans for a family weekend that is interrupted by a "20 minute stop" to a prospective client, the mansion known as Gracie Manor. Obsessed with his high quality shoes, Jim leads the Evers family into the ancient looking grounds of the colossal mansion, bringing in an unwanted over emphasized salesman's smile and oversold enthusiasm to the residents, both living and dead. The plot slowly develops, selectively allowing for to details from the ride, Murphy travels down familiar hallways layered in special ghostly effects alluding to the potential fear that could have made is wrong, shake it anyways! Just try". Most of the dance movements were low to the ground, and seemed to be a mixture of African, and Jazz. There were a lot of body rolls, shimmying, and body angles in the movements of the dance. The students seemed to be having a lot of f un. The following Thursday, the class met again, and opened by this movie a blockbuster hit. Receiving guidance from Madame Leota, a greenish foreboding talking head inside of a cheap crystal ball, Murphy tackles the nerve rattling maze of the Haunted Mansion with a residual loss of memory from The Nutty Professor to rescue his wife from a fatal mistake. The children offer most of the entertainment aside from that of the singing busts, the most comical scene from the movie. The sweet sarcasm delivered by new comer Aree Davis, juxtaposed with the innocence and trepidations of Marc John Jefferies added a well needed humorous lift to the otherwise flat movie. The ominous Ramsley (Stamp) deepens the fearfulness of the mansion. The hollowness of his sunken eyes, wild, grey, thinning locks and warning tone strengthen the impact of this supporting character's discussing the "Hair Stories" performance, and the class taught by Reverend Eubanks. I interviewed some of the students, and this is what they had to say about the experience: Teresa Francis, a history major believes that it was "a celebration of womanhood." Ilene Wood, and social sciences major, said, "I was drawn into the Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom Master Gracey and his butler, Ramsley. role. Plot twists and all, this 99 minute movie is fair in quality. If you feel in the need of deadening a few brain cells, go see The Haunted Mansion. I you want to be entertained, shocked, and enjoy yourself, go to Disneyland and stand in line for 30-45 minutes to experience the real thing. The Haunted Mansion performance and related to a lot of things that they said, (such as) the social issues that hair stands for." Amy Chostner, a theatre major said "But for younger people I think it opened their minds to the way they were, when I saw that African America women had the problems that they had with their hair".

I want to see more!" Analia Carlsson, a math major said, "Even though everyone did the same moves, they showed their own individualism. Even if you were doing it wrong, they showed us that, and made us feel comfortable with it." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Born in Vietnam, Quynh moved to San Francisco and worked as a waitress where she met her future husband, native San Diegan John Pack. The couple married and moved to a small cabin off Wildcat Canyon Road. Chau had been" a full time senior finishing her degree at Cal State San Quynh Yen Chau Marcos and was interested in continuing her education in a graduate program. "Quynh was very friendly, very cheerful... she was always focused on her work, a conscientious student," said family member Henry Duong. "Each year the family has big Thanksgiving dinner [where she would] always talk about school; she was a very determined student." Chau's family in Vietnam own and operate a plastics company. Chau was interested in working with them to expand their business. Her older brother, Sinh Chau had discussed overseas business ventures, and Quynh had wanted to help him bring their business to the U.S. On the day of thefire,a neighbor awoke Quynh and her husband around 1 am to warn them to evacuate. Quynh started the car while John rescued their two large dogs. They managed to drive away but were somehow stopped on the dirt road, perhaps due to engine failure or lack of visibility. Fire officials found the couple inside their car, their arms wrapped around the bodies of their beloved dogs. Quynh Pack's ashes were returned to Vietnam by her older brother, Sinh Chau. She is survived by her four brothers and sisters and her mother, To Ha, all currently reside in Vietnam. — * 7 i i ' f t / I1 Ill" I ! Did Emma make it in this issue? Find out... Foom PAGE ?

(ASI) to bring to him a clear business plan for a new building, tentatively called "The Center for Children and Families," which will house the Early Learning Center (ELC). The ELC is a daycare center run by ASI providing inexpensive and easily accessible childcare for CSUSM students and members of the community. New buildings added to the campus like the Clarke Field House/University Student Union, the University Village apartments and the Kellogg Library, changed the landscape and have expanded campus life. The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled before the end of the semester so that it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office. The ELC is currently located offcampus at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos. "Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus. We recently have been told that there will be space (available) here on campus," said Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI. According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services building where the University Police are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building. Plans for the new facility include longer business hours, to better accommodate student schedules, and an expansion of services, to include children in infancy to after school programs for older children. At present the ELC is licensed for only 48 children and provides Spring schedules only offered online ByMKEDOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Spring 2004 Class Schedule is available, but is now only accessible online. This is the first time that the University Will not be offering an actual hard copy of the schedule for students to purchase.

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StafFWriter In the spirit of Campus Equity Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty, staff and students came together to voice their concerns at a campus rally. In effort to raise awareness about higher education, Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor and the California Faculty Association (CFA) organized a petition-signing to "Save classes/Save our teachers." The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California State University (CSU) system has negatively impacted higher education. The CSU administration has failed to meet the guidelines of the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), that the CSU will "ensure the quality and availability of CSU class offerings, student services, and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4). Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent faculty and students, the Cal State See CFA, page 2 "The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens. Students who come to the bookstore in hopes of purchasing a class schedule will be told of the change. Students are told to direct any comments on the new accepted format for the class schedules to the Office ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201. Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring semester, there is a Registration Guide and Catalog Addendum available at the bookstore. The addendum only includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

The hope is that Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse the petition, with the need to "Save our classes/save our teachers." "We are here, on behalf of the students," said Tasha Iglesias, education major and CFA intern for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped lead the student voice concerning the petition. Iglesias shared her concern that many students are ignorant to what they are signing. With music and free food available (at the rally), most students are willing to sign anything. At the same time, it came "as a comfort that "some students were skeptical, and asked lots of questions about the petition." The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU administration has implemented budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds of contingent faculty (statewide), and in turn, directly affecting the students' education, the outcome has not gone unnoticed. From crowded and unavailable classes to the limited office hours of faculty, students are faced with limitations, making it more difficult to graduate on time. "This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and CFA representative for Cal State Long Beach. It is the hope that a week of campus equity will reap enough signatures and support from the CSU community to send the petition to legislature. Iglesias said that over the past several weeks the CFA, student organizations such as Lobby Corps, ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN (Women's Studies) have worked to achieve their goal. Iglesias said, "We have sent out bundles of invitations, crashed classes, and handed out information regarding campus equity week and the petition signing." "That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is needed (at the University). The faculty needs to nourish students, and in turn, the university needs to support the faculty."

The new facility could allow potentially hundreds of children to register. ASI has been working in conjunction with the College of Education to plan the programs to be implemented in the new facility. The intention of both groups is to provide not only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could attain in class experience right here on campus. "We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim Associate Dean in the College of Education. "I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to education and that is the primary mission of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk. In the university's mission statement the promise to meet the needs of its students is explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services that responds to the needs of a student body with diverse backgrounds expanding student access to an excellent and affordable education." In this time of financial crisis the issue of funding is looming. "ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt. The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline outlining projections for each step; Fall 2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004, secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete. This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high level of enthusiasm and interest from donors." Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings." "We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said Barsky. After students become comfortable with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes that it will increase communication on campus. An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

The good-bye offered a special panel discussion with faculty, staff, and students discussing topics including: what motivated the students in deciding to study overseas, what they learned while overseas, and cultural differences they had to adapt. Yoko Suzuki, a junior and Japanese native is majoring in sociology. She spoke of her positive experiences with the educational system. "It's the best system compared to the rest of the world. America is the only place where no matter what your age group you can still go to school and get a degree. In other parts of the world, this is not possible." When - Suzki was in Japan she took her traditions for granted. Now in the United States, she is more aware of her customs, which allows her to feel more independent and selfconfident as she must make decisions without close guidance from her family. She loves the support her family gives her as well as her fellow classmates and professors. Samson Manickarej, from India, agreed with Suzuki about the high quality of United States education system. Manickarej, a computer science major is very in tune with his culture and smiles when he discusses how his stay in America enabled him to see his homeland differently. He compared America to a melting pot or "internationalmarket where everyone is welcomed." His classmates, loved ones, arid professors support him. His one wish is that more students travel abroad to experience a world different from their own and get a perspective of what it is like to be in a foreign country. Kim Quinney is a history professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her passion for world travel is to research her family roots. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science visibly enjoyed his discussion about his time spent in Jordan studying Arabic. Terry Allison discussed his experience while in France. He said the younger generation loves everything about the western culture from its fashion to hip-hop. The older generation does not approve of this trend and find that the youth are displacing their rich heritage. Students and professors alike had a wealth of information to share with faculty, staff, and students. The quality of the United States education system continued to resurface. Having the opportunity to study abroad changed their lives from an educational standpoint and touched and changed their personal lives.

The Upper Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser contain up to 12" of snow with some obstacles on the way down. The runs are equipped with fun boxes and rails for snowboarders and skiers to challenge on their way down the slope. The snow is thin, but it's only November. There is plenty of winter for snow to build up on the ground. Mountain High is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8: 00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding everyday from 5:00-10:00pm. Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and Snow Summit merging, has also begun the winter season. Big Bear has between 6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day on the mountain. Bear has also opened Big Bear Express for the snowboarder or skier seeking to test their carving or cutting abilities on the snow. The season should bring more snow to the mountain to help keep your board or ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear is open Monday through Friday from 8: 30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm. If you are willing to take a longer drive, Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the largest resort in Southern California, is a thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has 2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open and the Gondola has opened as of Friday, November 14. Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps and jibs that will put your stomach in your throat. The park is also equipped with the super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but will open soon to give the greatest riding experience. For the new snowboarder or skier that does not understand the above language, it's time to learn. Check out one of the local resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the extreme before advancing on to Mammoth. Both resorts offer lessons seven days a week and private lessons. They also have complete ski and snowboard rentals so you can try it before you buy it. WANTED E GG D ONORS N EEDED SWIM I N^TRUGTOBSy!

CFALecturerRepresentative �THE PRIDE Kaleidoscope of Sound By LISA GEORGE Pride StafifWriter Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating strains of melody. The power and driving force behind 80 trained musicians directed by a seasoned and energetic conductor is what makes a symphony a memorable experience. The South Coast Symphony directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is expected from a symphony. Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for Orange County," this finely tuned group of musical magicians compliment a variety of composers. Their powerful renditions of "Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain," a brief sampling of the works presented at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo Friday, Nov. 14. The resonant minor chords were backed by thunderous timpani and other percussive instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and celebrations throughout the night seemed to burst through the four walls and into the surrounding city. The setting at the Coast Hills church provided two big screens through which a camera man was projecting up close views of the musicians and conductor throughout the concert. This particular visual style allowed for a big and little picture of the energy evoked by the musicians through their finely honed skills of musical creation. Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato, while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical steel instrument producing a blended, yet pronounced sound that added to the full resonance created by the horns and violin sections.

Ferrell's humor comes in often as Buddy makes his way through the city spreading holiday cheer. It's corny, predictable and sappy, just how feel good Christmas movies should be. Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his pokerfaced delivery of jokes and overall nutty demeanor. The only thing that I really didn't like about " Elf' was the fact that the movie wasn't balanced. Most of the movie isfilledwith jokes and is enjoyably funny until the second half approaches, and at that point, it seems like a hurried Favreau was just trying to get the project finished. The latter half of the film quickly pours on the feel-good holiday vibe that is so cliché in films like this. That is the only place that " Elf' really went wrong. The movie was cast well.

I give "Elf" a rating of B -. T h e V e r d i c t i s t it— Runaway Jury ^ = The suspenseful psychological thriller, based on courtroom novelist John Grisham's narrative, contains an A-list cast and an explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to make this one of the best films of the year. This box-office success begins with a bang — literally. Gun-toting killers shoot up an office building, creating a massacre, which leaves 11 dead. The widowed wife of a businessman brings a major civil suit against the gun manufacturer she feels is responsible for her husband's death. With the increasingly hostile public opinion on guns, the powerful firearm conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the industry. Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman, a chivalrous lawyer who fuels the case with his honest passion, represents the widow. His opponent speaks for the arrogant gun corporation, behind which stands a brilliant veteran jury consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene Hackman, who will stop at nothing to ensure a verdict favoring the firm. Fitch stations his surveillance team at a high tech center disguised as a warehouse where they inspect potential jurors in order to strategically control the selection of the jury. However, the moralizing plaintiff attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon realize more is at stake when one juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack, and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel Weisz, inform both attorneys that the jury's for sale- for $10 million. A dangerous game of cat and mouse set in the French Quarter of New Orleans proceeds. Making up for the implausible story is the extraordinary cast, which works together in creating a heated courtroom melodrama beneath a background of controversial issues. The film is the first coupling of screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, who form a climax for the movie when the two veterans battle it out in a tense scene. The movie struggles to overcome major changes from the novel all the while keeping the character development and plot twists distinctive of Grisham. The film needlessly replaces the original scenario targeting the tobacco industry with a political debate on gun manufacturers. Although the characters' motives are more transparent in the film, it maintains the high level ofsuspense from the tense courtroom novel. Viewers unfamiliar with the book will not predict director Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls" and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly timed plot twists. Fleder produces a tightly wound thriller with his natural ability to know exactly what audiences will expect from the film, the cast's impressive performance, and the unique camera-like cinematographic techniques. The confrontation scenes and equally heated political outcome are enough to keep any moviegoer on the edge of their seat. m oto Courtesy of The 20th Century Fox Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and John Cusak face-off in "Runaway Jury."

Due to the North County fires, the structured activities for Equity Week were postponed. A campus lunch rally is scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 11: 30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Equity Week is an international movement led by The Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor (COCAL), California, a multicampus coalition of California State University lecturers, faculty, and community. From rallies to regional hearings, equity film festivals and public testimonies, more than 400 schools speak out across the United States, Canada and Mexico, including 23 CSU schools.

"Actually, almost everyone I know calls me Cali." At 6'4" he towers above nearly everyone who walks by, but his hazel eyes are inviting, his tone is friendly. It becomes hard to imagine this person in the midst of the recent war. Louis Caliendo, a third semester business major, transferred from Palomar Community College to CSUSM in the spring semester of2002. More recently however, he's just transferred back to the United States after spending six months serving as Sergeant Caliendo in the dusty deserts of northern and southern Iraq. A Brooklyn native, Cali moved to California when he joined the Marines in 1993. "I like it here. It's something new," he says. After spending four years on active duty in the Marines, Cali decided to serve part time in the reserves in order to attend college and pursue a career in business. As a reserve Marine, Louis' chances of serving in a war seemed slim. That was until Sat.

I felt so behind when I got back," he says. Fortunately Cali made it home in one piece. However, he returned on September 13, 2003, just after this fall semester had begun. Unable to start the semester so late, Cali was forced to postpone his schooling until the Spring "I knew war was inevitable, and I of 2004.

Many students breathe with a sigh of relief, but are shocked at the degrading value given to their work. Unfortunately, even for students with a genuine argument for receiving an unfair grade, the grade appeal procedure seems to be a lengthy, tedious, and frightening path, an avenue in which few venture down. Students at Cal State San Marcos hold the right to file an appeal for their grade. Confidential hearings take place in front of a small board within the Academic Senate named the Student Grade Appeals Committee. "The committee is a right (for) students to have recourse when they feel they've been wronged," said Iain Gould, a graduate student serving on this board. As currently written, the grade appeal process begins with a student seeking to resolve the issue informally, through discussion between the professor and the student. If no agreement is reached, the student consults various administrative officials from the department and eventually the dean or another director. If the student cannot resolve the conflict, he or she mustfilea formal appeal. This process begins March 15 for courses from the previous fall or Oct. 15 for summer of spring courses. Last year, the Student Grade Appeals Committee received 10 appeals. All were rejected. According to the annual report, three cases were discarded on technical grounds, the committee did not find the evidence to be adequate enough for a grade change with the other seven cases. In past years, the success rate for grade appeals has rarely been over 25 percent. Various difficulties cause the low success rate. The Student Grade Appeal Procedures states that "the burden of proof is on the student." "A difficult task," said Richard Karas, Chair of the Grade Appeals Committee. Another obstacle students face is that they often do not understand the policy and their appeals are rejected because they do not effectively argue and document their claims. "Traditionally students that have a strong case have not had their appeal granted because of procedural flaws on their part," Gould argued. According to Gould, students have been unable to change their grades because of their lack of knowledge of the specific steps needed to take for the grade appeal. Students overlook two essential components: for what reason an appeal can be granted and the deadline in which to file. Students are often skeptical of Administration committees due to the lack of student voice in those groups. For the Grade Appeals Committee, it is not a question of fairness because three students and four faculty members serve on the committee, an almost balanced ratio. Associated Students, Inc. Executive Vice President John Gehris, who is in charge of finding students to work on committees, recalled that having the student influence and vote is essential, especially for grade appeals. "The student voice and concerns are heard because students sit on the committee," Gehris said. "Students who want to change their grade feel much more comfortable appealing in front of a committee that has student members." Another obstacle with the process is the policy language is vague creating difficulties for students. "Certain language in the procedures can be written so as to be clearer and more compelling.. .the forms used to appeal a grade can be amended so that they guide students through the process of writing an effective appeal," Karas said. With the burden of the proof lying on the student and ambiguous language discouraging efforts^ students find it difficult to appeal a grade. A proposal is currently being submitted to the Academic Senate to review the language of the documents. The committee is continuing its efforts to improve the effectiveness of the policy. 83% U J /U EGG DONORS NEEDED Age 19 - 29 Excellent Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families (800)790-7633 eggdonation@bldgfams.com ^ MfANTEDiS || $1Ö|00-$16.00 per hour call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M / * o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake w omen s exier. > § r%m 89% U Zt /U o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake m en s exier.

Administration's excuse for this unforgivable disregard to free speech is that they want the campus to continue looking clean and tidy. The infamous Posting Informational Material Policy "provides an avenue... (in which students can) publicize events, activities, and services while retaining an environment of order and cleanliness on the campus." This necessity for cleanliness includes restrictions on everything from the leafleting of cars to the material of banners. This anal policy goes so far as to dictate what type of tape to use when posting - masking tape only, of course. Basically if an innocent student wishes to post wisdom from a fortune cookie without approving the fortune with administration, he or she has some bad luck coming. The student risks having the posting removed, a fine imposed, posting privileges denied (whatever those are), and disciplinary action initiated - all this just for trying tô improve the karma on campus. The Pride exists as the only medium in which students may exercise their First Amendment rights without penalty or censorship by the administration. Even in this setting, student editors reserve the right to place or not to place letters in the opinion section. With administration censoring flyers posted on campus and the lack of free speech areas, students are unable to truly immerse themselves in the exchange of ideas that defines a university. We shouldn't be toothpicks on a football field. Please contact DiDi Lund at lund008@csusm.edu or calling (760)750-4580. O mbudsman's N otes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter This week, we try to return to normalcy on campus. After a disaster closely intertwined with our community and our campus, is it possible to return to a normal school life at this point in the semester? As I walked around campus over the past week, there was a prevalent feeling of exhaustion. Although a feeling of exhaustion is common at week 11, it seemed that perhaps this feeling was more than usual mental fatigue. After all, in the relative scheme of things at this particular time, it is hard to focus on education when there is still so much activity on the periphery. Last week's edition of The Pride focused on the fires and their effect on Cal State San Marcos. I have received positive feedback on the coverage provided in that special edition. However, I would have liked to receive much more. In addition, I would like to know your thoughts on trying to get back into semester for the remaining few weeks. Please e-mail me with any lingering thoughts that you might have on that special edition as well as thoughts on the current edition. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu.

N « Ö �Never give up cross-country By TIM JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Cross-country is a sport with athletes who never give up, no matter what the circumstances are. Cara Rumble is one of those cross-country athletes who did not give up on the sport. Rumble is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and an All-American cross-country runner. She was forced to take a year off from cross-country to have a baby. Rumble did not give up; she returned and is now a possible national titlist, placing second in the Vanguard Invitational with a time of 18:26 for the 5-k event. "I had to get back into shape, I was in pretty bad shape, but the coach did not make me try out again," Rumble said. She got right back to where she let off. "I feel about the same, but you could always get stronger," she said. Steve Scott, head coach of the cross-country team, said that Cara is stronger. "Cara improved dramatically," Scott said. "She ran an 18:26, a lifetime best in the last crosscountry race. She came back stronger physically and mentally because she used to have a distraction with boys, and now she is totally focused on school and running." Rumble said, "I had one season that I red-shirted the first year and trained, and did not train during the second year while I was pregnant." Scott said: "She was running with us last year and during the season I was telling her she was doing great. She ran o.k. times and I said 'Cara, you're doing fine."' With the hard work Rumble has put into cross-country runner makes and the encouragement from her coach, she has succeeded in running and met the high expectations from her coach. "The future is for Cara to win the individual title," Scptt said. "There are four girls that have a good opportunity to win the individual title. Women are second in the (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes) NAIA and Cara will really help her team." The NAIA Regional was held on Saturday in Fresno, and the NAIA Nationals will be Nov. 22 at Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville, Kentucky. With these meets, Rumble's hard work to get back into shape will hopefully pay off. "I wanted to do it again because I missed it and it felt like it was something I needed to do," Rumble said.

The ASI CSUSM surf team has grown in its third season from nine to 18 students. The team consists of ten shortboard men, two shortboard women, two longboarders and two bodyboarders. Spots were reserved for the Team Captain, Thomas Gorman and Player Representative Martin Muench. This year, Hansen's Boardroom, Etnies shoes, Da Kine surf and snowboard accessories and Transworld Surf magazine gave out freebies to the contestants. Jeremy Cannon and Conrad Scouton were the highlights in the men's shortboard competition. Each won all three of their heats credibly to take a seat on the team. Alex Freitas, Lucas Dalager and Sean Hastings were viewed favorably all day long because they pulled such high marks in their heats. Trailing them but making the team were: Brent Varga, Chris Parrinelo, Bob Hoste, Alex Burst, and Jon Graves. Jamie Tomei and Analia Carlsson maintained the women's shortboard competition. When it came to the longboards, runner up State Champion Dustin Franks won hands down. Ryan James and Michael Connolly had to battle it out for second place. In the end, James pulled through as the most favored. Eric Warner made the A-team in the bodyboard rounds, while Don Nguyen and Jeff Koval went head to head for the second placement. Because of its popularity, unyielding competitive results and maintained participation, Gorman was able to persuade ASI into doubling the size of the team this year despite the cost of try outs. ASI CSUSM Dream Team surfers, Martin Muench and Jon Graves blazed through the competition of schools including CSULB, USD, UCSD, and UCSB who were among the 22 teams competing this past Sunday, Oct. 25 in Ventura. Although they did ifot have a strong backing from their team members, their final score was 10th place with 61 points. Faculty Advisor Puha said: "The ASI CSUSM Surf Team has the talent to be competitive, but suffered from first event jitters and off season injuries. The team must take the positives from performances of Muench and Graves and start preparing for the next event." CSUSM students can watch the surf team Saturday, Nov. 22 when they compete at Black's Beach in San Diego. Jamie Tomei drops in with speed and style to secure a place on the ASI surf team Oct. 4. Tomei is one of two women shortboarders on the team.

M m Photo Courtesy of Landmark Pictures By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaflfWriter Tibet is a wondrous place; so inspiring is its beauty that it has been called the "altar of the world." Tibet's remote location, mysterious and colorful culture, and its people's search for enlightenment through the Buddhist religion all combine to give it a magical unearthly quality. Tom Peosay's moving documentary film, "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion," brings Tibet out from behind the mystique and teaches the reality of the political and religious oppression the Tibetan people endured due to the Chinese occupation of their land. Beautifully captured images include a full spectrum of the Tibetan experience. Images span from jubilant festival celebrations and reverent religious rituals to the horrific destruction of Tibet's holiest places and violence against the Tibetan people. This sad story is told by the people who know it best. His- torians, professors, politicians, ambassadors, resistance leaders, monks, and nuns were interviewed for this film. The most shocking accounts are those of torture experienced by former prisoners of the Chinese. The historical details of Tibet's hardships would be unbearable if it wasn't for the inspiration the exiled religious leader, the Dalai Lama, brings to the table. His belief in non-violence and forgiveness averts anger and cynicism and brings hope to his people that someday they will be free. Students interested in becoming more aware of what is happening in the world can take the time to see this film. Films like this one can open sheltered American eyes to the big picture. It can bring some insight into the experience of people who live in occupied lands which has relevance far beyond the situation in Tibet.

University Village students dinedly affected by widfires Massive Campus Clean Up By ADRIAN OJNDIFF Pride StaflfWriter Fires devastate San Diego County sending a snowstorm of ashes and smoke into the air that consumed everything. The fires directly or indirectly affected all students living on campus. Many students who live on campus complained about problems relating to breathing due to the large cloud of smoke that hovered over the campus all week. Others got sick and complained about havingflu-likesymptoms. Not only was the campus closed for students who live off campus but also for students who live on campus as well. Students who live on campus were not able to use the computer lab, study or do research in the library, or workout in the gym for one week. The air quality around campus caused one student to have an asthma attack that sent her to the emergency room last Monday. Olivia Roldan, Liberal Studies major, said that her limbs got numb and as she waited in the emergency room her hand got paralyzed as she checked in. Roldan lives on campus and according to her the smoke was unbearable. The smoke around campus caused her asthma to act up even though her seasonal See STUDENTS, page 2 By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Editor in Chief Last week the San Diego County wildfires engulfed Cal State San Marcos with unhealthy air and spread soot and ash all over the campus. Although President McTarnaghan closed the campus to students, faculty and administrators, Facility Services were on hand cleaning up the campus and replacing air filters in all the buildings to ensure the campus would be safe for classes to resume on Nov. 3. In response to the hazardous atmosphere surrounding the campus, Facility Services spent Friday changing all the airfiltersin each building. "We're taking preventative measures by changing all the airfiltersin the buildings," said Chuck Walden, Director of Facility Services. Although there was no testing done inside each building to determine how much unhealthy pollution there was, new filters were ordered and replaced as preventative maintenance. Steve Holbrook of Facility Services said, "We're staying ahead of the game before people become affected." The buildings on campus each have an air-handling room where outside air is sucked in and distributed through the air conditioning system. Filters are used on the outside See CLEAN UP, page 2 V OL.XI N O. 8 Photo By Adrian Cundiff/The Pride McTarnaghan closes CSUSM for a week By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaflfWriter Students and faculty at CSUSM spent time away from school last week after Interim President Roy McTarnaghan cancelled classes due to thefiresraging through San Diego County. McTarnaghan closed the campus last week after emergency services requested roads be kept clear and because of poor air quality at CSUSM. As a result of the polluted air, more time was needed to replace airfiltersfor air conditioning systems. The call to close the campus came after Chancellor Charles Reed of the California . State University (CSU) system advised McTarnaghan last week. Faculty and staff are determining the effects of the closure and how to fix any problems. Except for essential personnel such as police and facilities crew, the closure barred students and stafffromentering the campus. "The major effect is how we will make up a week—that is the big question," said Rick Moore, CSUSM director of communications. On Sunday night McTarnaghan decided to close the campus and planned Monday to assess reopening the See CLOSURE, page 2 �Editorial S taff \ S taff W riters Bditor-inHChksf K Alex Rosalino Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Elizabeth Baldwin Co-Editor Jonathan Rodley Design Be Photo Editor PIDi Pf- iapr l l y p - x; l*unû F Scripps Doug ILasater Kristin Rees Assistant Design Mark Ferrera Editor Roberto Fella >: RMelissa ; odriguez News Editor Michael Dolan Sarah Carlia ; Features Editor Michelle Wills Lisa Qeorgife Nicole Sullivan A&E Editor Katie Sammons j R ^an l^fecifc g!

We never expected what was to come of the day. My parents and I woke up early to wrap gifts, decorate and set up the tables in the back yard for the lunch mom was preparing for our guests. It was a hot day, outside the air smelled of smoke, and ashes were falling on our tables like snow. Every television channel was broadcasting the destruction wildfires were causing all over San Diego County. Guests would be arriving from all over Southern California and we worried that we had invited them to Hell. Hopefully no one would put themselves in danger to come to our house. Hopefully everyone we knew would be safe. Hopefully this was all a bad dream. Hopefully it would all be over soon. Everyone we were expecting showed up. I turned off the TV and for the next few hours focused on family and friends and the celebration for my yet unborn niece. At lunch we joked that the ash falling into our sodas was good for us. Doesn't carbon absorb toxins in the body? Once most of the guests were gone I went upstairs to my room and looked out the window. It was dark and I could clearly seeflamesburning over the second hillside to our east. I learned later this was the Valley Center fire which was less than th m eight miles away from us. "Papi, ven aca," I called my dad upstairs, but my anxious voice alerted my mom that she should come too. The fires we had spent all day ignoring were now very real. Quickly we decided it was time to get packing. Important papers, pictures, heirlooms, treasured gifts, clothes, essential toiletries, my dog's food and leash, the computer tower, anything we could think of that we considered irreplaceable or essential was thrown in laundry baskets and suitcases and piled in the living room. Finally, exhausted and mesmerized by the news reports, we went to sleep, thinking we would need all the rest we could get in case we had to evacuate at some time during the night. I woke up often to look out the window, but theflamesnever came closer No fireman ever came to knock on our door. No evacuation notice was announced for our street. We were safe. We were lucky, during the night the winds shifted to the east and away from us. Some of our things still sit on the living room floor as we are a little afraid to put them away. However, these things no longer seem as important as they did that night. They are just things. It is the people who are suffering from great losses that are in my heart now. They are important, essential and irreplaceable unlike the things on the living room floor. You and me and everyone we know, everyone that lives here in San Diego, everyone that lives in our world. They are what really matters. G EICO is seeking a new generation of top management professionals to maintain our c ompany's f orward m omentum.

M l « TteUrnv^^ — i Support available for students By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor The aftermath of an unexpected tragedy brings many needs and concerns. In the midst of the chaos it is important to discuss personal reactions, strengthen friendships we have and reach out to those in need. One psychological side effect of tragedies is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder affecting those who have experienced or witnessed a major trauma. The symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, and social withdrawal. If you experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal CAPS is here to help. CAPS is the Counseling and Psychological Services at Cal State San Marcos. They are a group of professionals and pre-doctoral students from Alliant University majoring in clinical psychology. CAPS is located at Suite 102 in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center, they are open Monday through Friday, 8-5 pm, and can be reached at (760) 750-4910 According to Dr. Kreisler, the full time psychiatrist with CAPS, the most important service they offer is one-on-one counseling. Dr. Kreisler suggests that victims of the fire confide in a close friend or a clergy member. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard, has also responded to the needs of CSUSM students by opening his door to those who want to discuss concerns about the devastating effects of the San Diego County Fires. Poullard's office is located in Craven Hall 4935. It is recommended to call first and make an appointment, (760) 750-4056 Air quality is also a health concern. The American Lung Association recommends southern California residents to monitor breathing and exposure to airborne contaminants. The Air Pollution Control District of San Diego reported that the air quality is good, with the exception of the areas that are still burning or downwind of fires. To maintain good health, drink plenty of liquids that will aid in flushing the air particles out of the body and avoid hard labor as much as possible. Children should be monitored more closely due to their developing respiratory systems that take in more air than adults do, which means more air pollution. Dr. Nicholson from Student Health Services warned that air borne particles will continue to affect air quality for the next one to two weeks. She advised students to minimize time spent outside and to breathe through the nose.

"Stupid White Men," was the best selling nonfiction book of 2002, according to bookreport.com. Erik Roper, vice president of External Affairs, was one of the key representatives from the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) who helped make the decision on who would be speaking at this year's Intercultural Speaker Series. "Our school is not a very well known school, and by having him (Moore) as part of the Intercultural Speaker Series it will put us (Cal State San Marcos) on the map," Roper said.

ByJOHNSCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Educated Bean, the coffee kiosk in Founder's Plaza, has been forced to stop selling espresso because Starbucks is coming to the new library. Starbucks, the international coffee chain, has negotiated a contract with CSUSM to setup in the ground floor of the new Kellogg Library, due to open next semester, to sell espresso exclusively. It was also agreed that Starbucks would have the espresso market to itself. "I was a little apprehensive to continue selling espresso," said Steve Mcintosh, the primary owner of the Educated Bean. Ever since the Starbucks opened up in the shopping center across the way, he had noticed a significant drop in espresso sales at his own booth. Because Starbucks will be moving on campus, Mcintosh is happy to let the espresso line go, as the profit level from those sales was becoming smaller and smaller. There are other benefits too, like reduced labor costs, since there had to be a minimum of two people in the booth when they were selling espresso in the past. According to Mcintosh, while the Educated Bean will no longer be selling espresso, it has been allowed to expand its line of wares. It will be selling a number of things that Starbucks will not be selling, such as an expanding line of cookies, chips, and a variety of fruit smoothies. They will continue to sell fair trade coffees, along with their chi latte's and chocolate drinks. With this vastly extended line of products comes a new multi-year contract and rates that have actually been lowered. Starbucks PR executive Nick Davis said, "Starbucks builds alliances with companies and organizations, such as California State University, San Marcos, that understand the value of Starbucks and are able to successfully deliver-the Starbucks experience to our customers. Starbucks does not provide information on the terms of its agreements, but we are very excited to be working with CSUSM to bring Starbucks store to the campus community." Biochemistry junior, Evan Delatorre said, "Starbucks will cost more. Students don't have that much money." Literature and. Writing professor Dr. Susan Fellows said, "I think they should be able to sell espresso. I find it absurd that there are not enough students to buy espresso from both places." Mcintosh also wanted to express his gratitude to the Foundation for their generosity. "I want people to know this was a good thing," Mcintosh said. "I think this is going to be a win-win situation. We've greatly appreciated the support we've received (from students and faculty) and hope it continues after Starbucks opens."

Poullard added, "It is probable that this location may need to change in the future if the area interferes with the normal conducting of university business." Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) said, "Free speech zones should be the rule, not the exception. The university should have the courage to treat the entire campus as a free speech zone, not just a particular area." Lukianoff explained that the legal rationale behind the policy of the university is that they are able to authorize freedom of assembly in regard to time, place and manner, however, that it is morally wrong not to foster free speech on campus, especially in terms of a peaceful demonstration. "A lot of this is determined in collaboration with risk management and university police personnel," said Poullard.

"Moore offers a different perspective that is not offered in the mainstream media," Roper said. Moore's latest book that came out earlier this month titled, "Dude, Where's My Country?" already has a record breaking amount of orders nationwide, and within its first printing are one million copies. The book was written not only to reveal the truths about the Bush administration, but to also unseat President Bush, or "George of Arabia" according to Moore's book, indefinitely. In the book Moore speaks out against the war on Iraq, how Bush got elected, and his administration's policy in general. According to Roper, "He is leading by e xample...

Growth expectations for enrollment "Over the next 20 years our enrollment is expected to grow to be about 20,000." By T M JOHNSON Pride StafFWriter Over the past few years CSUSM has experienced an exuberant amount of growth. A growing campus means more applicants hoping to be accepted for f uture semesters. Classrooms will inevitably increase in size and registering will require a fight. Fortunately, this increase will not take place for a while. "Next year there will be no growth. During the y ^, ? 7; : , : * r month of November the Chancellors office will be revising growth expectations of all campuses for future years," said Richard Riehl, assistant vice president of Enrollment Services.

It is good to have options, however when there are too many, options turn into headaches. Verizon "There are now more than 145 million subscribers who spend on average $47 a month on local service. A small, but steadily growing number of people use a cell phone as their only phone." Consumer Reports Magazine 2003, page 143. In lieu of the growing number of cell phone options and users, it is good to have a guide that will direct one's decisions in upgrading or purchasing a new phone.

So what does Halloween mean to us, and how do we celebrate it? The word Halloween has its origin in the Catholic Church. It originated from "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day") November 1, which is a Catholic day of observance to honor the saints. During the fifth century in Celtic Ireland, Oct. 31 was the offi cial day that summer ended. This holiday was known as Sam Hain (sow-en) -— the Celtic new year. On this day the spirits of all those who had died throughout the year come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. The Celtics believed that during this time, the laws of space an time were suspended allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. The living didn't want to be possessed therefore they extinguished the fires in their homes on the night of Oct. 31, making their home undesirable. They then dressed up in all sorts of ghoulish costumes parading around their neighborhood making noise and being as destructive as possible, attempting to frighten away spirits. Irish immigrants fleeing the Irish potato famine brought the Halloween custom to America around 1840.

Here are some words of wisdom from CSU San Marcos University Police Department for you and your children to have a safe Halloween. Please use common sense. To help you we have some safety tips. Costume Safety: • Use make-up or face paint instead of masks. If masks are used, make sure that they fit properly and have holes large enough for mouth and eyes. • Choose costumes that are marked flame retardant. • Wear light-colored clothing at night. Add reflective tape or reflectors to dark colored costumes. • Make props such as magic wands and swords out of cardboard, rather than metal or wood. • Be sure your costume is not too long to avoid tripping over it. • Carry a Flash Light. Before Trick-or-Treating: • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. • Plan to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical light-sticks in place of candles in decorations and costumes. • Review with your children the principle of "Stop-Drop-Roll", should their clothes catch on fire. • Openly discuss appropriate and inappropriate behavior at Halloween time. • Do not permit children to bicycle, roller-blade or skateboard. • Agree on a specific time when revelers must return home. • Take extra effort to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and walkway. Check around your property for hazards to young children rushing from house to house. • Consider the safety of household pets during an evening of frightful sights and sounds. • Remind all household drivers to remain cautious and drive slowly throughout the community. While Trick-or-Treating: Never trick-or-treat alone. Older children should go in groups. Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult. Stay within the neighborhood and visit homes you know. Visit only houses where the lights are on. Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go into the house. Only accept wrapped or packaged candy. Be sure and say thank you for your treats. Never eat unwrapped candy, opened candy, fruit, or open beverages that are offered. Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it. Use sidewalks and do not run. Be very cautious of strangers. Never enter a stranger's home or car for a treat. After Trick-or-Treating: Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items. • No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an adult at home. All of the members of the University Police Department and The Pride wish you a Safe and Happy Halloween. FREE CHECKING Tell your bank the Jig is up.

I want to hear deep, soulful, victorious breaths," said Christina Allen as she coached the breathing techniques to a group of young women during an Ashtanga yoga class at the Clarke Field House. The group dwindled to a lean 15 students from the original 42 who began the free ASI Leisure/ Group Fitness class Sept. 29 for the fall semester. The remaining students, showing their resolve, have improved dramatically from the awkward giggly bunch they once were. Poses that previously seemed nearly impossible are now performed with ease and transitions that were absolutely impossible are now being attempted and sometimes actually achieved by the students. "I think (the class) is really progressing; everyone is really there and really present," Allen said. She has her own studio in San Marcos called Ashtanga Yoga East. Ashtanga yoga is one of the most active and physically Ashtanga students stretch their muscles while their instructor, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, watches. demanding forms of yoga. The aim of this practice is to generate heat in the body for the purpose of burning toxins, burning calories and becoming stronger and moreflexible.This is achieved by transitioning quickly from pose to pose in fluid motions. Practitioners also learn how to channel their energy and lower their stress levels by quieting their minds, breathing deeply and looking inward. "I think (yoga) is very relaxing and it helps to get circulation to all those areas we ignore. It is a total time-out," said Michelle Jules, a third year communications major. "It helps me stretch out and it is very relaxing," said junior HuangMei Chiang. One of the obstacles the students have faced is letting go of image concerns and allowing themselves to really immerse in the practice without worrying about what others may think. Poses can be tricky and often embarrassing and egos can stand in the way of progress. "Your ego exists to ensure that you protect yourself and it is important, but it is only a small part of who you are. You shouldn't tell yourself you can't do something without trying it first. Do what you can and next time it will be easier," says Allen. * Allen's advice seems to be working. There were only a few quiet chuckles before everyone tried a new pose they were asked to perform called the "Lion's Roar." In this pose, while down on all fours facing each other, students stuck out their tongues like Maori warriors and let out their breath in the form of a quiet roar. It may seem a little silly, but the students were willing to try the pose and not let it be an embarrassment. This Ashtanga yoga class provides students a time to get in shape while at the same time they can let go of the stresses in their lives. It is a positive experience for both the students and their instructor. Allen is enjoying teaching the class. She said, "I like it, its fun, its turning people on to something that maybe they have never tried before, it's like planting seeds." �ByMOIAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman This week I have received some very good feedback from readers who voice legitimate concerns about "The Pride." The crux of these concerns is based on a problem that I have noticed as well when reading through "The Pride" which is, namely, typos. The general perception that I get from the readers' complaints is that these errors tend t > < disinterest the reader. I agree with that reasoning. I recall reading "The Pride" before I was writing for it and having that same sense of disinterest because of simple spelling errors or incorrect attributions. Now, I come from a perspective to where I am more disappointed when these errors occur and focused onfindinga resolution to reduce the amount of errors that get into thefinalprint, hi particular, I received one email that really echoed the frustration that some readers have towards these mistakes. CSUSM student, Ryan Beraal, emailed me about a correction for Vol. XI No. 5. It was in the article "Tips for those living single: Student Survey" where Ryan found an error regarding the reference to David Beckham. Our writer referenced Beckham as "David Beckingham:" an error that should have never made it to the press. Ryan suggested and asked me if I agreed that when one of our writers reference "one of the most hailed football players.. .they should at least get the spelling of the name right" I would have to say I agree with Ryan on this one. Beckham is a popular football player and known by football fans all over the world. In addition, Beckham is referenced in the recent movie, "Bend it Like Beckham/' Couple these reasons with the fact that this misspelling was overlooked in editing and I can understand the frustration that was shared with me this week. This type of sloppiness could discourage readersfromreading "The Pride" who then could dissuadefriendsfromreading "The Pride" and suddenly, "The Pride" has lost its credibility. From this, I will include this correction at the end of this column. Moreover, I appreciate the critical feedback this week from all who emailed me. And once again, my email address is dolan005@csusm.edu. Please keep theflowsof criticisms coming. Correctioiis Vol. XI No. 5 In the article "Tips for living single: Student Survey," David Beckham's name is misspelled David Beckingham. The Pride apologizes for this misspelling and any inconvenience that it might have caused. Vol. XI No. 6 In the article "Urban Bush Woman: Hair Stories to be Performed at CSUSM," the title should have read Women, not Woman. Also, in this article, Women should have been capitalized in thefirstsentence of the article. And finally, Michelle Wills who wrote this article wanted to thank Kristine Diekman and Karen Schaffinan for their help. Karen Schaffinan is also the contact for those who want to attend this event. Her email address is karenschaff man@csusm.edu. HALLOWEEN CONSUMER By MICHAEL DOLAN Pr^StaffWriter I was walking up the steps*roNfStorenamed* Bate's Bros. Nut Farm when the comment came bellowing from behind me. "This is a perfect place for a picture." It echoed through my mind as I turned to see an oveijoyed mother dragging her reluctant son to a corner in front of the store arranged with pumpkins and bales of hay to represent a perfect manifestation of a Hallmark Halloween. This was supposed to be the yearly outing to Bate's Nut Farm to collect traditional autumn ornamentation: and take in the crisp andfreshValley Center air, but this year was something askew. Yes, this year the rising trend of residential and commercial development has caught up with the simple quest of pumpkin hunting and turned what for the past 25 years had been something enjoyable into a miserable melodrama. This is the new reality of a North County Halloween. I should have known there ^ would be trouble on this trip beginning with the car ride up the gradefromEscondido. East Valley Parkway was consumed with chaos with traffic backed up in both directions up to Lake Wohlford Road. Similarly, the west bound lanes of Valley Center Road, the grade that leads into the hills, were backed up for over half the distance of the grade. The right turn on to Woods Valley Road provided no relief to those who were on their way away from the Farm with a back up of over two miles, a substantial distance on two lane country black top. Approaching the Farm, I was confronted with what at first appeared to be the makings of a carnival. There were incomprehensible amounts of people wandering through fields stacked with recently imported pumpkins just steps away from tents of vendors and a simulated mountain for the purpose of practicing mountain climbing, should that need ever occur. In the parking lot* a field with delineations haphazardly made with bales of hay and orange cones, there were advertisements for the "Smoke Out" tour coming to town soon. My sense of nostalgia was rapidly diminishing as I walked out of the parking lot and into the pumpkinfields.There was trouble in trying to locate a wheelbarrow to carry the pumpkins. At $3.50 a piece, the motivation to walk around with pumpkins in your arms quickly evaporates. This scene was getting uglier and uglier as men and boys stalked the checkout area waiting for a wheelbarrow to be returned. When there was á wheelbarrow returned, the collected predators sprinted with furious determination to claim their prey, leaving one man excited and many a boy and man bitter and crying. The pumpkins themselves were nothing to be thrilled about. A few years back, Bate's stopped growing their own pumpkins and began importing them from Mexico. This act could be considered thefirstflood of water that began the erosion of the Bate's mystique. Instead of going out to afieldand cutting your pumpkin right from a vine and quickly paying without much trouble, one is now left to select theirjpumpkin from a several piles of pumpkins dumped in field with a hundred other people scrounging for the elusive perfect pumpkin. In addition, after the hunt, I found myself passing through a chaotic tent to pay for my selections only to be harassed on the other side by high school student employees with questions as to whether or not I have paid for my pumpkins. All these events lead back up to the front door at the store. After buying a $1 can of soda and a $2 ice cream cone from conveniently placed vendors, I stood dazed staring at the circus I had just experienced. It has never been like this here at Bate's. One employee I asked about the madness said that this bedlam was relatively calmer than the previous weekend when the crafts fair was going on. In the long run, Valley Center is changing with an increase in residential development despite the best efforts of the long time residents. For that matter, all of San Diego County is booming significantly and apparently all these newcomers want a taste of a country fall at Bate's Nut Farm. The unfortunate consequence is the roadways are not suited for the increase in traffic volume in this general area making this trek frustrating at best. Furthermore, the once reserved tradition for local residents to escape to Bate's once or twice a year is forever gone clouded in the chaos of what has now become a stressed filled novelty rather than a chance to envision nostalgia.

Director Olivier Assayas' stunningly done "Demonlover" can be grouped into the category "high tech thriller." I thought that with Halloween approaching this film would have been some gory horror flick, but what I found Connie Neilson stands before a flame in the provocative Palm Pictures thriller. was a sadistic, ugly, fast paced, insane yet amazing piece of filmmaking. Demonlover will leave a funny taste in your mouth and I bet you will like it. The only problem with this film is that it may be hard to follow if you are not somewhat Internet or technology savvy. The storyline basically follows a corporate executive who discovers an interactive torture Internet site called "The Hellfire Club." Slowly the film uncovers more horrors about the modern movie life than any of us have ever wanted to know. With its almost uncomfortable use of sex and fantasy in some very common states of affairs, "Demonlover" reminds me of a lengthy music video. It depicts the corrupt side of an industry that is often assumed to be glamorous. If you're a film buff at all, this film is definitely for you. It is breathtakingly shot and that is reason alone to see it — definitely worth the seven dollars. Elevated : more than just a band By DIANAK. CABUTO Pride StaffWriter Semi-acoustic sounds, incorporated hip-hop, rap, spoken word, and rock vocals accompanied by live guitars and other assorted percussion instruments come together in fusion to form the unique and all CSUSM students band of Elevated. If you have be ve heard this band play their unique sound. The sound that calls for a new genre of music that anyone can en to the Fyre Zone Cyber Cafe on San Marcos Boulevard, Bubble Tea or Panorama Center, maybe you ha enjoy regardless of his or her own personal style. Elevated originates from the idea of poetry and music coming together for a different way of expression and fusion between spoken word, hip-hop and rock. Elevated offers its listeners an interesting and original blend of musical genres. Elevated is becoming an essential part of almost any event at CSUSM and some of the local places in San Marcos. Elevated is a group of enthusiastic and hard working musicians. "Our big goals are to sell our own CD's, stickers, T-shirts, and to have more people come to our shows and express their talents with us as well," said percussionist and performer Nimitz Bagtas. The band is finishing its first demo — the first step for the band's dream. "Big plans are to finish our demo so we can give it to clubs and places for more gigs, play bigger shows and open up for other groups," Nimitz said. The band consists of seven core members: Lyricist Phillip Jerge; poet Anthony Blacksher; percussionist and poet Richard Hunt; poet Lameeka Ingrham; guitarists Ian Skolnik and Robert Smith; and percussionist Nimitz Bagtas. The band began as a duo with Jerge and Balcksher, but other members joined to form the new heterogeneous band they named Elevated. Some of the band's original works include various poetry: "Elevated,*" "Be here Now" and "Life Alone." A current CSUSM student, Nadia Lopez, said, "Elevated is a new concept in music and poetry. I like it a lot and I think it will grow- and leave an impor- Anthony B lacksher w oos the crowd with v ocals a t the Fyre Z one tant mark for this school where it originated, and we should be proud of it." The band played for the first time in the campus dorms Thursday, Oct. 2, were CSUSM students like Lopez enjoyed listening. For those who missed the event, the band will be playing on campus again Friday Nov. 7. On Oct. 3, Elevated presented its monthly open mic event "Soul Ascension" in the Fyre Zone Cafe where people had the opportunity to enjoy the band and also dMwv d t ÀWW14, Muet JA ßy -¿ARAt) omm jtoÏMal} umjtiC (Mufo out ohP cm, fr O(/JavIO cma/UJ^^ play with them.

NOPE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter United Food and Commercial Workers, UFCW, members organized a strike against Kroger, Albertsons, and Safeway chain grocery stores that began October 13. According to the UFWC website, the strike is an effort to protect employee benefits which are being cut under a new provision. The new provisions would decrease medical benefits by half and jeopardize long term employee's pension plans. A lawsuit has been filed by UFCW Unions against Albertsons and Ralph's, who have locked out employées, for violating the California Mass Layoff Notification Law (California Labor Code: Section 1400). The law requires all employees to be given 60 days notice prior to a mass layoff. Andrea Conner stands at the entrance of the Ralph's shopping center holding a picket sign reading, "Ralph's Employees On Strike."

As the most common cancer found in women after Lung Cancer, it has been predicted that 211,300 women will develop Breast Cancer in 2003 and 44,000 American women will die this year. Because of the high mortality rate and risk for Breast Cancer, October 17 is National Mammography Day. Throughout the month of October, radiologists offer free or discounted screening mammograms. With various "pass the word' campaigns, encouragement of early detection plans, and sponsored walks such as the San Diego Stride Against Breast Cancer Walk, people have joined together to create awareness and help battle this disease. There are some risk factors that put you at a higher risk for developing Breast Cancer: 1. If you are a woman (occurs in men also, but it is very rare) 2. If you are over age 50 you have a higher chance. 3. A close family history of breast cancer (although there are a higher number of cases found in women without a history).

Nichole Hollick is a twenty-one year old student at GSUSM who is majoring in English. She sits in my Tuesday, Thursday Literature class, and like me, is originally from Temecula Valley High School. We even graduated the same year. When asked about High School, she told me that she used to want to become a veterinarian. She joined a medical academy program in High School, but soon realized that it wasn't for her. "I was like why am I doing this? I wanted to be a veterinarian!" It was by the end of high school when she realized that she didn't want to be a veterinarian anymore. She was approached by a teacher, who suggested the idea of becoming a lawyer. She was intrigued by that. " I love to argue," she explained to me, "So I was like why not become a lawyer!" When asked why she is majoring in English when she wants to study law, she explained that one has to have a bachelor's degree first, then after that, they can go to law school. «c \Tir>V»rvlo nidipH in a• orner. Nichole rushed by, apologizing, and explaining how she Was trying to change, but she had gotten locked out of the women's employee bathroom. She suspected the guys who worked there of using it, because it was cleaner. Dressed warmer, and ready to do the interview, she began by telling me about her day. Hollick nti liAr wav in to Kor on her way in t/v her biology class, she looked around for her crush. "I try to sit by the person that I like in Biology, but it never works!" Nichole laughed and said "Sometimes people sit by him, and I'm like don't sit there!" She feels like this class never participates enough, but she likes it because she enjoys group discussions. In the middle of class that day, Nichole began to feel sick. "I have an herbalist that we (her family) go to, and I realized that I hadn't taken my anti-stress pills. I had to leave and go home and take the pills." When asked why she takes herbal stress pills, she told me that the stress could sometimes be too much. "Sometimes I just want to be a fly on the wall," she explained. Nichole's Love Life: Nichole told me that she had read the articles in The Pride about speed dating, and people's f rustrations with the dating scene at CSUSM, and agreed. "People are either married, or I can't talk to them because this school's not social, but then again, I haven't been going to most events. It would be great to meet someone at school, but my main concern Nichole went home, tried going is getting good grades. I was online to check her credit card reading the articles, and was like statement again, but still couldn't god yes! I want there to be more get the information. She took events like that".

I try to fight it, but I'm just An Afternoon of Tea a homebody at heart." Nichole explained to me how she and her mother had been going to tea for several years now.

It's true, innocent car buyers often don't know where to start when buying a new car and are consequently talked into buying a car that doesn't satisfy them. An informed customer knows what he/she wants and what to expect when negotiating. ^ Know what you want. Many people buy cars before they have taken the X time to do the research on what type of car is for them. If you plan on getting married and starting a family within the next few years, that new sporty convertible probably isn't the car for you. Likewise, that used V-8 pickup might not be a good choice if your gas consumption is on a limited budget. ^ ^ ^ Know the worth of your W old car. To estimate the / value of your vehicle, J m ^ look up prices on websites such as KellyBlueBook.com or the classifieds in the local newspaper. Remember that one of the biggest profits for car dealers is their used car lot. Although it may take longer, selling your car directly makes you more money than trading it in. ^^ I Know whether new or used works best for you. Santiago Sierra, a salesperson for Hoehn Audi said, "Are you willing to take a risk buying a used car from a private individual or play it safer by buying from a dealer or do ^ younot want to have any trouble whatsoever and buy a new car?" Althougfe\used cars are more affordable, oftentimes the condition of the vehicle is unknown and the car is\ no longer under warranty. With cars that have a high retail value, it may even be cheaper to buy a/iiew car. A Know whether leasing or / I buying is best for you. ^ X i If you plan on turning in l y o u r car in 2 or 3 years, leasing would definitely be more practical than buying a car. However, commuters find the mileage limitations a burden and people who enjoy adding modifications to their car are either penalized or unable to receive extra monetary value when they return the car. M ^ Know what you want to ^ ^ ^ pay for the car. Negotiat| ing is the most important part of buying or leasing a car. Be assertive and realistic in the price you want to pay. Get bids from several different dealers, including internet sales sites such as CarsDirect.com. Hussain Mahrous, President of the San Diego chapter of Wild Horses Mustang Club said, "Pick a car that you want that's within your price range and don't let dealers push you around. Set a goal on how much you're willing to pay and don't let a dealer screw you over." to know your credit so you have an idea when the dealer discuses APR rates and the down payment of the fairness of the rates you're offered."

Also, look into the performance and safety and rate it in terms of what's important to you." According to Talebi, it is essential that consumers understand what qualities are valuable to them. The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) rates cars in terms of safety while magazines such as Car and Driver contain numerous articles on performance. Know the best time to buy f a car.

Car dealerships receive rank and rewards based on volume and annual increase in sales; they want to sell their cars. By researching the type of car and deciding on how much to pay for it, you should be prepared to stand your ground and haggle with the best of them. Knowledge of the car and of what you want is the key to being a satisfied consumer. �S ports Editorial: David Bofiton Ombudsman's Notes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman There is quite a bit of news happening right now in California from the recall of Governor Davis and the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger t o- the labor dispute between the United Food Commercial Workers and their management at local grocery stores. These are hot topics that which people have strong opinions particularly because they are politically and ideologically charged. With that being said, The Pride is resolved to provide a balance on these and other important issues. These are issues that should encourage, if not demand, reader feedback. In doing some research into other ombudsman columns in major papers, it is obvious that it is quite difficult to keep everyone content with coverage that is provided. This is an unfortunate consequence of news reporting on issues that are divisive. Some readers go as far as to dig out an undertone in articles which they believe proves a bias favoring one side or the other. I have not received any complaints accusing The Pride of political alliances or choos- By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter ing favorites, but it is possible. We, of course, do not have the reader base of a major city newspaper. Therefore, the number of responses I receive is limited, but all the while crucial since The Pride is here to provide information to the readers. Since there are many issues that affect us all if for no other reason than geographic proximity, I want to know your thoughts on them and your comments on our coverage. The email, as always, is dolan005@csusm.edu. San Diego Chargers wide receiver David Boston made an impressive showing on Sunday's 21-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with 181 receiving yards, 12 catches and two touchdowns. He also apologized to the team, coaches, fans, and franchise about his behavior since he signed with The Chargers on a -seven year contract. This does not mean that Boston won't strike at the bolts again. He has already been suspended for simply not showing respect or dedication to the team. He missed important team meetings that players were required to attend. He lost his temper and yelled at members of Corrections forVol. XI No. 5 In the article "Adventure Center has f un . ..

He did not learn from his first experience and got a second, meaning he may get more D.U.I.'s in the future. The Chargers will not let that slide and take disciplinary action. This may take him out of more games, practices and helping the bolts get into the winners bracket. Boston has plenty of talent and muscles to be a great football player, however, has an attitude and hard head to be another Ryan Leaf. Let's hope that Boston is not compared to the unsatisfying quarterback when all is said and done and just helps the Chargers get a few wins this season.

I am in upper division classes and it seems that almost every other woman is married. Then the ones that don't have a ring on, you have no idea whether or not they have a boyfriend. For a lot of guys they don't want to be disrespectful and just start hitting on a girl without knowing if she has a boyfriend or not. Then I have heard a lot of women say that all they want is a nice guy, but usually it is not the nice guy that is going to walk up and hit on you. He is going to be the BfcPN u e t y DID m d w r r LAimp SAX Editor one that sits in class and just talks to you and asks you how your weekend was. What guys are looking for varies between guys but most guys are not looking for a supermodel. They might be nice to look at but men do want someone who is an equal and just someone they can have f un with. I am a 22 year old single male on campus and I am not looking for the superficial girl. I am looking for someone to go out dancing with or watch a movie with or just go out to dinner and talk. I think women expect too much out of the men on campus and if they are frustrated about not meeting good guys the> should start approaching men Most of the men I have talked think it is much easier when woman approaches them. So if you ladies are really looking foi someone, start going up to the guys and talk to them. You jusl might be surprised.

G houls & s keletons r eady to s care all w ho are brave e nough to v enture d owntown By SHARON BAYRON Pride StaffWriter Those looking for a truly thrilling evening need look no further than Frightmare on Market Street in downtown San Diego. Located in the heart of the Gas Lamp District, Frightmare on Market Street is as chilling as its name implies. People of all ages are lining up, anxiously awaiting to be scared, and indeed, Frightmare delivers. A ghostly, emaciated gatekeeper wishes its participants "good luck" as they descend into a dungeon like hole. The screams of the brave group already navigating the maze can be heard at the entrance, adding to the suspense in the air. A mixture of dim lighting, bloody figures, and denSe fog all feed the apprehension of the unsuspecting crowds. Around each corner lies a frightening surprise, and each step leads into a different horrific scene. The groups of people that enter this haunted labyrinth may enter individually. Most groups exit the maze intertwined and linked at the arms, gripping their unknown neighbor with a panicked clutch. As the maze progresses, the scenes become increasingly intense, and by the time the maze ends, thrill seekers are literally running up the exit stairs and into the safety of the well lit street above. Frightmare on Market Street will run for the remainder of October until November 1. Tickets for the haunted maze are $12.99 and may be purchased directly at the box office on Market Street, or online at www .frightmareonmarketstreet.com, and group rates are available at the online site. Frightmare runs Friday and Saturday, from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. During the weekends, this attraction becomes fairly crowded, so those planning to buy tickets at the box office should plan to get there early.

The dance troop combines dance, music, and storytelling with the sacred traditions, cultural heritage, and immense history of African Americans, and African people worldwide. Choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founded Urban Bush Women in 1980. Since then, she has created almost 40 dances, including her choreography for Urban bush Women, and her creation of HairStories. According to the Urban Bush Women website, HairStories is a production which.. "explores the concept of nappy hair and itsr relationship to images of beauty, social position, heritage and self-esteem." The production also focuses on the intense debate in the African American community about the politics of hair. HairStories was inspired by moments in the choreographer's own life, as she herself battled with these very same issues. The group is going to perform excerpts from one of their famous works entitled HairStories here at CSUSM on November 10 at 6:00 pm in the Arts center room 111.

X I N 0.5 v CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7. By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Ever since voters decided to hold California's first ever recall election everyone has been talking, debating, predicting and being entertained by all the media chatter. The whole nation was watching. Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as Governor? Or would voters choose one of the 135 candidates running against him? Now the election is over, when the official results are announced, Davis will hand the reigns of the state over to Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, election buzz is dying down and CSUSM students hope that Gov. Schwarzenegger will do right by them. "I really hope that he does well, not because I like the guy, but because I'd like to see the conditions in California improve," said James Nguyen, a third year political science and economics major. Nguyen was against the recall and did not support Schwarzenegger as a candidate. " I hope things will change, I hope .. ... Am^ „ — schools get funding and that they don't cut classes because education is important." said Angela Morgan a business major who voted for Schwarzenegger. CSUSM students had differing reactions to the results of the r^irjSBf!^' m election. Some students are confident that voters have made the right decision in voting for Schwarzenegger. "I think he's well qualified to govern. I think he can step up and battle the issues, he has the charisma, he is forceful and able to do what he wants." said student Mike Markarian. "I'm glad he won because California is so f ar to the left any movement towards the right is a positive" saidMandy Schatzinger, a communications major in her junior year. "I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed but he's what California needs."

FEATim mmm Urges Change, Budget Management By JONATHAN RODLEY Editor in Cheif While budget cuts gouge the California State University (CSU) system, students and teachers are on the lookout to make sure their needs are met. Classroom instruction, class size, and funding are now protected by provisions made by the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CFA created a document in July 2003 to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e assigned at campus facilities. Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU chancellor sent the document to campus |$ administrators before the fall semester started. If need be, the chancellor said he would investigate and correct administrators that didn't follow the guidelines. At CSUSM some teachers think that administration isn't doing enough. "They George Diehr really haven't come to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA. The CFA's document, called the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by the legislative budget committees and promotes cooperation between the CFA and the CSU. See B UDGET M ANAGEMENT, p age 2 Clubs Hindered By Copy Right Laws By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter Various clubs show documentaries on campus in order to attract and inform students of issues that they represent, however, because of Copy Right Laws and budget cuts these film showings have been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the livelihood of these organizations on campus. "It cost an estimated $400 to buy public ownership of a given film. The question becomes which clubs will receive money, and how much?" said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs. Because of the cost of distribution rights and Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet shown a film this semester.

Due t o t he e ffects of California's budget crisis, there is a continual impact on student involvement at Cai State San Marcos. With t he large cut backs to California State Universities, there is not enough money to p ay for the distribution f ights of these films. Pollard added that SRL can only supply a limited amount of money t o f und these films. Erik Roper, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) vice president and external vice president f or the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), mentioned t hree ways t o get approval of a film's copy rights. Roper said, " SRL told u s that we can do one of t hree things: —Pay each company the $400 t o show a movie; —Get a letter of approval f rom each company; —Have professors list films as p art of their syllabi. Poullard, however, says t he films would (legally) only b e made available t o the students of Budget Management continuedfrompage 1 "It puts primacy on education and requires administration t o report on these issues," Diehr said. The SRL gives priority t o the needs of classroom instruction while requiring reduction in administrative costs. I n California, the general f und f or the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the 2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU website. " There's going t o have t o b e t rimming," said Interim President Roy McTarnaghan. " The needs of student courses are our number one priority - getting t hem t o graduate on £ime is number one." McTarnaghan said that despite limitations on enrollment, CSUSM has more students and less money. "None of u s are thrilled the states e cono my is in t he situation i t's in, but we're all working e ffectively. «ür=F . P said.e h r McTarnaghan Di however, reckoned the e ffects of budget cuts and t hinks changes need to b e made in handling the budget. The CFA urges s taff and students to monitor their campus to ensure that the CSU complies with t he SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on how to monitor budget compliance at the CFA website. At CSUSM, among other things, the budget forced student f ee increases, class size increases, and also p art time lecturers were laid o ff. The CFA is very concerned about the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said. "Many of these teachers need to pay the rent and pay for food." Although t he budget h as had numerous impacts on students and s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts made by administration. "We're pleased with some steps, but we believe much more needs t o b e done," Diehr said. Diehr is also a professor of management science f or t he college of business administration. He said he sees t he potential f or improvement in how the college of business manages their estimated expenses. He said that officers those classes, not t o t he entire campus." These measures will cost students ample time, energy and money. Roper said that Swank Motion Pictures sells distribution rights of movies t o various institutions and colleges f or a m inimal cost. Roper and others would like t o see Cal State San Marcos get an institution p ass with Swank t o show films at a reduced price. Poullard agrees that there m ay b e a better solution that will help t o eliminate the tedious phone calls, large bake sells and car "have not touched the administrative p art of the budget." Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for the college o f business administration said, " It's premature t o draw that conclusion at this point. We have j ust received our fall 2003 budget so no prior decisions have been made." The SRL states that prior t o reducing classes, student services and library f unding, colleges must reduce administrative costs. " The college of business is sticking t o the supplemental language report to the best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said. She added that the college of business may or may not b e representative of other colleges. At this point however, Diehr said that there is "need f or real substantial changes." H e said that administration I R HRBVl • HB K k I f* it If i H II h asn't realized t he severity of the cuts and that t he s tructure and size of management must b e changed. " San Marcos h as t oo many mid level m anagers," D iehr said. " They're still t rying to m ake changes at t he margin -- increasing class sizes and terminating lectures." Diehr also said t he foundation could b e doing more f undraising t o address the budget crisis. Another goal of the SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help lessen t he impact of budget reductions. Diehr said that the foundation should be borrowing f unds and looking for more people to donate to CSUSM. " There is no magic bullet for this budget situation and we can expect increasing costs if not more budget cuts," Diehr said. "This is not going to be over at the end of this academic year." ^ f ^ ^ v ppyp|||||r ^ M j p p i j¡¡¡S| •• • ito b - washes.

One very simple way to avoid any and all Encyclopedia.com characterizes the fluickness this winter is to stop by Student s SCHWARZENEGGER Health Services, and have them administer a f reefluvaccination. A vaccination works by injecting a healthy subject with antigens, who in response develop antibodies to battle the foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous version of the antigen, the pathogen itself. Usually vaccinations are constructed to take care of A or B strains of the sickness. But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year. To contact the Student Health Services, please call (760) 750-4915.

Nguyen said, "Arnold lacks political experience.. .his moderate politics made him electable. I expect Arnold to be asking for a lot of consultation because he has no idea what he's getting himself into." Another student, Erin Sullivan said about Schwarzenegger, "I don't know if I can take him seriously because he's an actor, we'll see what kind of committee he comes up with." Student's concerns regarding budget cuts and rising tuition costs are not yet being directly handled by the governor. Although the eighth step of Gov. Schwarzenegger's "100 Day Agenda" listed on his website www.joinarnold.com is to "Streamline the bureaucracy and send more money to the classroom." there is no way to know exactly how the governor will address funding issues facing the California State University system. The Young Voters for Arnold website, www.arnold4gov.comdoes does contain a quote f rom the new governor regarding this situation, he says, "There is currently a leadership vacuum in Sacramento. With college tuition fees skyrocketing and classes being cut, young voters are paying the price for career politicians' mistakes. I intend to change all that."

Unfortunately, the turnout was poor and the students who did Like so many other young females show their faces were the same ones you before me, I discovered the complete lack see at every on-campus event. of campus life at Cal State San Marcos These students acknowledge the lack of during my first semester here. a social scene on campus. They see this That was after the first several men I not as a problem with the atmosphere here approached told me about the significance at Cal State, but rather within the student body. "I look out and see people sitting in their cars during breaks on campus and that is ridiculous... This is a time to meet people and make lifelong friends; this isn't accomplished by removing yourself f rom the campus community" said Brett Gladys, student coordinator of the Programming Board. Gladys mentioned that it is essential to build a community on campus, but that students r efuse to involve themselves in the activities and programs here. Besides a lack of activities on campus, women have noticed that many of the single men here are unapproachable. Men on this campus often objectify women and go for those who are pretty, shallow, and generally subtract f rom the bank of human knowledge when they speak. This dynamic of male personality influences women to act the part of the easy superficial girl in order to get the guys. It's a never-ending circle with the result being that the singles here develop shallow relationships with equally shallow partners. Many singles on campus worry about pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be concerned about is constructing a campus community and opening ourselves up to meet new people. Our goal should be creating a sense of belonging here at Cal State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing in attendance, the speed dating event did o ffer a solution to the crisis. Through more activities that promote relationships we will have life on this campus. Through more effort from the students we can create a campus spirit which encourages interaction. As Gladys said, "be the spirit you wish to see on campus."

On his way to class, he met up with his friend Mike Flores and they walked together to their psychology class. When asked about the class he said "It's cool and it's easy for me and it's fascinating sometimes because it opens up my mind to new i deas" A fter that, he met up with new friends and went on to his calculus class, where his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep in the last week," he said. Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken quesadillas, worked on homework with his friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked to his last class of the day with his friend Mike, turned in his homework and went to the ASI Homecoming celebration outside. He saw his academic advisor and went back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie slept for twenty minutes and went to work. Ronnie works at a convenience store on campus. At work, he danced to the music in the store and made his fellow Have you ever been sitting next to people in class and stopped to wonder about their lives? Who are they? Do they share the same interests as you? What is college like for them? For the next few issues, I plan on interviewing random students here at CSUSM and asking them those very same questions. You will get a chance to see what a normal day is like for other college students and how they cope with their .own home and college lives. Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old freshman here at CSUSM and one of the pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has many hobbies, including snowboarding, wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart racing. One of his favorite hobbies is making new friends. "I love to talk," he explained to me, " I used to be really shy, but I 'm not as shy right now, because I don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still shy around girls at first." It was Monday night and Ronnie had agreed to his interview in my dorm room on the floor below his. Already an acquaintance of my roommates Erin and Ashley, he and his own roommates were on their way down to hang out with them. With a room f ull of noisy roommates, we agreed to grab some chairs, and sit on the f ar side of the kitchen, a little out of the range of noise. I asked him about his day and this is how he began. Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday morning and was really tired. He stayed up late with other dorm residents and was finding it very difficult to wake up. He had been up since 1 a.m. dancing with his roommates and friends. Ronnie talked about it: "I was hyper and really in a dancing mood because I 'm excited about the (Masquerade Ball). We started listening to music and two girls came over, so I started dancing and they were dancing and everyone was laughing because we were moving to the beat and I started dancing with them. "A couple of my favorite dance songs came up and we had a contest about who could dance the smuttiest. Michael Jackson came on and I started doing my Michael Jackson impression and we ended up getting three noise complaints. J uris D octor "We stopped playing the music so loud, but we began running around because we were all on a triple dose of coffee. A fter that JD/PhD - History or Political S cience we settled down and watched L IM - Trial A dvocacy "The Recruit". Around 1 p.m. I MZlfllM - Comparative Law went to bed and everyone left." Still recovering f rom that night's events, awake, but not ready to get out of bed a fter seven-and-a-half hours of sleep, Ivomjie wciit back vo bed and Criminal J ustice slept fifteen minutes longer. Intellectual Property/Telecommunications Law He took a shower and picked International Law out his outfit for the day. "I was Labor and Employment Law going to wear a collard shirt, but chose a t-shirt i nstead" he said. He went on to explain MISSION-FOCUSED CENTERS that he likes his collard shirts, but they're not as comfortable as his t-shirts and when he's tired, he feels more relaxed in a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed a Gatorade and a nutra-grain employees laugh. A fter work, he went to Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and bought plants and appliances to decorate the float that was being designed for the Dorms. He worked on homework and then came to my dorm to visit my roommates, where he began his interview with me. A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like I was in a whirlwind. "You did all that in one day?" I asked him. " Yes" he answered, "and I have two papers due tomorrow for class!" He looked at the clock in our kitchen. "It's 10:15 and I still have to write them," he said. I asked him if he would be starting on them soon. "Maybe" he answered.

CALIFORNIA WESTERN : Hi Bit If IIW S N DIGO A A 8A 1982 A AtS 1867 WWWX9lifornisWest0rn.edu �Hail To The OMBUDSMAN By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman One of the interesting aspects of the position of Ombudsman is that I am not required to necessarily agree with what our paper is doing. As such, I am not terribly distraught over our content or the direction our paper is heading; rather, there are minor problems that we overcome weekly and improve with each issue. One such problem I see is the manner in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The Pride each week. Therefore, I will be including the corrections at the end of my column from now on. The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the editors' observations and f rom reader inquiry. From the onset of the paper's distribution this semester, I am aware of two corrections that were overlooked last week that will be included this week. As always, I would like to encourage everybody to keep reading The Pride and sending me your feedback. Also, take The Pride home with you and share it with friends and family so they can get a sense of what is happening at your school. A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of the campus as a whole then The Pride should be an accurate reflection of the campus worthy enough to share.

On the front page and on page two in the article "Meet the Dean, Or Not," Vicki Golich is incorrectly identified as the dean of students. Jonathan Poullard holds that position. Ms. Golich's position is interim dean of the college of arts and sciences. Note to the Editor By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWiiier I believe that it was stupid for the powers that be to increase the student fees. That is a very direct statement and may seem harsh, but I feel there is no other way to state it. Other people and I registered in late June for this fall of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped due to a sudden student fee increase. They could have warned all the students about what they were going to do by sending out e-mails. My friend received a little card in the mail stating the financial change and said "I barely noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I was able to re-register for classes. By Chris Martin CSUSM Student As the writer of the article in question, 78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm" and a current student at CSUSM, I feel it pertinent to inform readers that the so-called "opposition" to the article, or rather the violators of our civil rights, failed to confront 78 magazine directly about their apparent concerns pertaining to the magazine's content and still remain anonymous. The premier issue of 78 was summarily rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the circular file for what could be construed as a protest to my evident lack of morality. This act strengthens our view point that we must all be vigilant if we are to maintain our civil rights on our college campuses. To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health Services I ask - what article were you reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the majority of University students to drink and have sex. Having a drink with a member of the opposite sex to blow off steam and possibly engage in an act of protected consensual sex is quite different f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls (which) could lead to sexual assault." Contrary to your opinion, the message of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the following. Here are some stereotypes, lets laugh at them, and by the way, if you're going to have sex, be responsible. This was primarily a humor piece with a few crassly presented common sense pointers. For those of you who recognized it as such, congratulations. [mu.cmmwki cmm- Furthermore I find it offensive that you assume our student body is incapable of making rational decisions regarding their sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks will lead educated adults to commit sexual assaults. Your objections make sense only if we blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of irony and take items out of context. Those trained to read critically can clearly see that the article was carefully constructed to address both genders. Any perceived "gender biases" are a result of careless reading and the injection of the readers' own preconceptions. I suggest you read the article again - this time analytically. 78 is alternative media - meaning we don't have to be for everyone. It also means we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and open exchanges of ideas regardless of their popularity - The freedom to have a voice, to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust people's competency to make up their own minds based on all the arguments. Deciding what information others can access is best left to fascist regimes. To produce media in any other manner would be considered a journalistic travesty not only by the publication I represent but by me as well. Finally, though we disagree, I want to thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and offering her opinion publicly and I hope more people will lend their voices to the forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are here for. �THE PRIDE A&E May I Take Your Order? By JOHNP. SCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Where do we go to eat? Whether out on that first date, hanging out with friends, or that special occasion, it's a question that plagues us all. It is a question that begs an answer. I took upon myself to find one. I picked what I thought were the best restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic categories: 1) a place to go with friends to socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3) the five-star anniversary special. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that allows for your underage friends to sit with you, you'd probably choose a place like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the hassle of another long commute but, luck is just around the corner. There is a place that serves alcohol, but still allows for your underage friends to sit with you. They have great meals and delicious finger foods. The social setting will allow for you to get a little loud without offending other patrons. Drum rollplease. The answer to all your problems is the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They have a whole selection of home brewed, non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All less than two minutes from the dorms! They have the typical finger foods like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken fingers, but also some more interesting items such as calamari stripsr and a sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be American, but there are a few things that stand out as being different like the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The prices are comparable to TGIF, with an average amount of $7 to $9 a plate. If you ever find yourself hungry while sitting around and watching television head over to San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They even have a take out menu. You can contact the brewery at (760) 471- 0050. If you're looking for a place to go on the ever important first date, look no f urther than The Old California Mining Company. They nicely blend sheik with affordability, which is great considering you'll need to purchase a parking pass next semester. The décor is reminiscent of an Old Mine. The inside consists chiefly of mining paraphernalia with wooden beams, mining carts, lanterns and shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough for you to talk. There are enough conversation pieces on the wall to help when there's nothing left to say. Just think; where else could you say things like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look at that lantern. By the way, can Î light your way home?" There is a really good selection of steaks. The food, aptly put is American. If you decide against the consumption of meat there is a selection of salads and pastas. The servings are not too big. The Old California Mining Company is a great place for a first date. It's not too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty darn good food at a price that will still let you pay for your books. You also have the option of ordering your food for take-out. Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row. Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star restaurants in San Marcos. However, there is one located in Old Town off Interstate 5 south, just before you get downtown. It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip especially when celebrating an anniversary or the like. The restaurant in question is called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I have taken many friends there to prove my point and have yet to take one that disagreed with me once they'd finished their meal. The International Wine & Food Society, La Jolla Chapter (of which I am Tuesday, October 1 4,2003 7 RestaumntRow a member) awarded it their blue ribbon in your parents to pay for parking and books. 1998, which is no small achievement.

The sauces, which make or break special someone or a place to celebrate any five-star meal, are incredible in their variety and depth of flavor. Thè food is strictly Mexican. Some of the dishes have a unique twist imparted by the chef. For example, the filet mignon is smothered in a traditional peanut sauce and filled with goat cheese. It is a sort of Mexico meets the 21st century steak. It is extremely delicious. This restaurant lacks one of equal comparison. So for that big anniversary, show your loved one that you care.

Rodriguez was well known for his dedication in educating people on Native American issues. WWII Navajo Code Talker Joe Morris, Sr. shared his experiences in the war and spoke about the key role Native Americans played in the war. Moms received many different awards for his service in the United States Marine Core; one of which included a Certificate of Appreciation from the President of the United States.

President of the North County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Rob Howard, Associate Professor of Communication Dr. Dreama Moon, and Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Garry Rolison took part in speaking, answering questions, and addressing students concerns regarding Prop. 54. Prop. 54, which is scheduled to be on the special election October 7, ban the use and collection of ethnic and racial data in California. This ethnic and racial data is widely used by many different companies including: healthcare organizations, Police departments, schools, businesses, government agencies, etc. Dr. Moon said, "White women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a higher rate than any other group of women. Asian Americans are at a higher risk for hepatitis B. Latinos are more likely to die from complications of diabetes and African Americans die from heart disease than any other group." She also said that healthcare professionals use ethnic and racial data to find put why certain groups suffer from certain types of illnesses. Without the information these agencies will not be able find a solution. Dr. Moon also brought up the issue that she has been involved with the San Diego Police Department of racial profiling. She said that Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to be stopped by police officers in proportion to the population and that the San Diego Police Department acknowledges that police officers often engage in racial profiling and have developed programs to teach officers how to cease this practice. Howard said, "Minority communities are targeted by tobacco companies and have higher rates of smoking. Prop. 54 would keep us from knowing that. Also suicide rates, lead poisoning and other Photo by Adrian Cundiff/The Pride environmental hazards cannot be linked under this proposition to racial and eihnic communities. When you ban information what you do is you prevent yourself from working on a cure." Without ethnic and racial information people would not know what is affecting whom in these communities, therefore slipping between the cracks. GEICO's hiring! Pass it on!

The job fair, hosted by the California Center for the Arts of Escondido on October 2, provided an opportunity for job seekers to look for work in one concentrated location. CSUSM did not host the job fair this year, but was one of the sponsors. CSUSM Job Fair Coordinator, Pam Wells, said, "We are not hosting the job fair on campus this year due to budget cuts, but we will have an on campus job fair scheduled for April 15, next year." Many employers expressed an interest in offering undergraduate and postgraduate students opportunities such as internships and basic field experience. Kathleen Bloomfield of Community Interface Services (CIS) said, "We do like seeing students. I was a student myself when I was hired here." She added, "We haveflexiblejobs, many where you set your own schedule." Robyn Heckler, Human Resources Manager of TRI-AD, said, "We are involved in the senior experience project and we offer internships for students/We currently have about ten student employees and we try to beflexiblewith scheduling around school." The event attracted all types of individuals looking for work. Erick Emms, a CSUSM senior, said, "It's pretty 1>ig, and it has a diverse selection of employers, from retail to professional. I'm just looking to see what's out there. • Students who missed the event can look forward to future job fairs currently in the works. The Rancho Bernardo and Poway Chambers of Commerce will host a career fair on Oct. 21.Last year the fair attracted over 1200 job seekers. In regards to seniors who are graduating this» December, Pam Wells urges students to bring resumes to the Career and Transfer Students Services (CATSS), adding "The RISE (Resuine/Interview Services for Employment) program submits student resumes to over 40 companies. The deadline f6r December graduates to submit resumes is Oct. 10." Provided by the job fair committee were complimentary bagels and coffee, along with handouts from the Employment Development Department (EDD) on jobfindingtips. Attendants were also given access to a booth reserved for resume critiques.

We, as a group, are excited with the response we are getting from the readers. Personally, I share this enthusiasm with the others because I am seeing empty newsstands and students with The Pride around campus. Also, I think the enthusiasm we have for the paper comes through in our reporting. The interactions I have had on campus with students and faculty are pro- ductive. Quite honestly, I have yet to hear any harsh criticism of The Pride and our stories. Be that as it may, if there are any harsh critics out there go ahead and email as well. On the topic of emails, I have received some emails that do concern me. The primary concern I have is that we are reporting on topics that encompass the entire campus, not just to specific groups. In this case, it is graduate students that have voiced interest in our workings at The Pride. As I perused the three issues up to this point, I noticed that THE PRIDE Corrections there were not articles specifically addressing the concerns of graduate students. Our articles cover stories that affect the campus as a total community from faculty to both undergraduate and graduate students. However, if there is something that we are missing in regards to our coverage of graduate activities^ please let me know and we will work on those ideas. That is it for this week.

The SUV and truck show sure was neat, I would also like to thank the College Republicans for clearing up my misconceptions about the Republican Party. I was under the false impression that Republicans stood for things like fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms, economic opportunity, family values, accountability, and common sense. I'm sure glad to be informed that . the new crux of the conservative agenda is SUVs. I was under the misimpression that the root of "conservative" is "conserve". SUVs don't conserve anything, so I guess I was wrong about that. So what does being Republican have to do with driving a wasteful vehicle? This question puzzled me as I walked through the protestors in Chavez Plaza. I thought to myself, perhaps the College Republicans are just celebrating our freedom to purchase any vehicle we want. That seems noble enough, but as Americans we have many freedoms. Are our CSUSM Republicans going to celebrate our freedom to purchase pornography? What about guns or booze? If we're going to celebrate our freedoms on campus we might as well have a giant porn display, get liquored up, and showcase the latest firearms in Chavez Plaza. I'll make sure to show; up wearing my finest f ur coat and baby otter loafers. Such an event would surely attract the masses to the College Republican cause. The more I think about it the more confused I get. Republicans promote individual freedom, but our College Republicans showcase the irresponsible excess resulting from this freedom. By aligning conservatives and SUVs the message is clear: Republicans at Cal State San Marcos really are the selfish and uncompassionate people you thought they might be. Once again I want to thank the College Republicans for setting the record straight. Republicans are not here to defend small business, encourage economic growth or lower your taxes. R e p u b l i - cans are not here to create jobs, pro- mote moral responsibility, or to ensure equality of opportunity. We 're here to sell you a bigger car.

You can pay 99 cents for a crunchy bowl of day old rice or grab a pocket full of fortune cookies for free. Do not mistake free for good; the fortune cookies are by no standard worth bragging about. Free, however, is always noteworthy. Most students who eat at The Dome fail to notice there is no price tag posted for fortune cookies. Students walk in thé food arena and walk out five dollars poorer when they could have satisfied that undeniable urge for proteins, carbohydrates and sugars for free with a fortune cookie. The history of the fortune cookie dates back to the 13th and 14th century when the Mongols occupied China. The Chinese needed a way to communicate dates of uprisings without being caught. Lotus nut paste moon cakes werefilledwith important SWIM Eatm information and then distributed in safety knowing Mongols had not acquired a taste for the recipe. This strategy eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty and the freedom of China. Furthering the tradition, Chinese 69'ers put messages of good fortune into a cookie, instead of a cake, and exchanged them at the Moon Festival. Since then, the tradition of the fortune cookie has been extended to a complimentary desert provided on behalf of Chinese restaurants. On numerous occasions I have used fortune cookies as a means of survival. As a freshman at CSUSM, my friends and J would take platefuls of fortune cookies and share them amongst ourselves to substitute a five-dollar meal. During my sophomore year the act of sitting around a fortune cookie covered table underwent a transformation similar to that of the moon cake- survival strategy to tradition. Two or three of us would walk in the exit of the food per What are hour!

After twenty to thirty cookies were on the plate, head for the exit and return to the designated table. My junior year represented a stage of rebellion. The goal, make a clear statement about food in The Dome. Instead of walking in the exit, we entered through the entrance. As a group we glanced over the different options of food (as though interested) and after utter disgust, walked to the beverage machine,filleda cup with ice water, turned to the fortune cookies andfilledour pockets with enough to imitate a full meal. Then we would wait in line, along with other paying students, pay the fifteen cents due for the cup of ice water and snicker as though fifteen cents was too much to charge for ice water. Fortune cookies have a lot to offer a person: A meal, a snack, a messaging system, a history, a tradition, a word of encouragement, even a business. It is INSTRUCTORS $1"(|®|-$16.00 Vm : had: this conversation, I wondered just how the law has instilled a mentality to only think of ourselves as drug users if we are using drugs deemed illegal, regardless of their health risks. When I pointed out the contradictory nature of her argument, I was treated the traditional response for someone in her position, "I know, but..." Is that an acceptable response for someone who has just been enlightened to the normalcy that permeates within drug use? It must be since that is the answer one will most likely receive in this situation. However, that answer does not poke at the heart of the matter which is drugs are drugs regardless of how they are defined by law and 1 , really? society; A perfect example of how the law defines and shapes our acceptability of certain drugs can be found in alcohol. While popular in use and acceptability, alcohol has not always been the social fixture it is today. During Prohibition, the law would have the public believe that alcohol was a bad drug. White that did not deter everyone from drinking, it did change the perception society has of alcohol and its consumption. When Prohibition ended, alcohol's negative stigma also ended, making the prevalent drug it is today. Alcohol is not alone in being defined in terms that are dictated by the law. All of our controlled substances are defined as such. I now refer back to my friend who was drinking coffee and smoking while explaining her choice not to use illegal drugs. She is readily using drugs in the nicotine and caffeine she consumes on a regular basis, but she does not perceive this consumption as dangerous or problematic since this usage is legal. Also, society, while increasingly discouraging smoking, openly encourages coffee drinking. Think about how many of those green circles with the lady in the middle you see as you drive around. Is there something fundamentally wrong with our society encouraging one kind of drug use while punishing others who use another type of drug? Yes. There is a problem with a double standard in our social fabric. I think we can start to move in the right direction by realizing that they are only drugs regardless of legality. These drugs are defined by laws which are not absolute and are subject to repeal/ These laws shape how society views certain drugs and their usage. When thinking about drugs and reasons behind "why" and "how" for our own usage, we should be thinking of the driSgs we take and how our perception of them is shaped by the forces of law and society. This column is not intended to insinuate a free for all drug bender, it is intended to bring to light the complex and contradictory nature of our society. I should remind my friend that the next time she is enjoying her cup of coffee while reading a. newspaper article about a police raid on a drug house to look around her coffee house and ask herself, what is the difference and why won't this place be next? �ARTS 8 Tuesday, October 07,2003 T HE P ftlDE A nything E lse ByKRISTENREES Pride StaflfWriter This quirky yet romantic comedy should have been rated N for nuts. Thisfilmis unique because the main character, Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) narrates each scenario for the audience. Thefilmis full of off-beat and hilarious antidotes, Jerry, a young up and coming comedy writer, is trying to figure out why his eccentric girlfriend Amanda played by Christina Ricci won't sleep with him anymore. Jerry's new friend, school teacher and aged comedian David Dobel (Woody Allen) gives Jerry all sorts of advice about Amanda throughout the film. He fires Jerry's lousy manager and teaches Jerry how to survive in New York City. Unfortunately Jerry has a weakness when it comes to ending relationships with anyone. He can't bring himself to break up with Amanda even though he believes that she is cheating on him. Jerry's situation quickly worsens when Amanda's alcoholic mother, Paula played by Stockard Channing, moves in with them. This film is unique and funny. It isiTt your typical romantic comedy. The neurotic girlfriend, and the over analytical Jerry, are amusing but not so much as Allen's character. Woody Allen does a masterful job at playing Dobel and was probably the reason why I enjoyed this film so much. Having the main character narrate throughout seems a little odd at first but the casting was done so well that the story is very believable and very entertaining; Anything Else is a young and funny. I would recommend it to anyone.

The passing of the initiative was a decision that had a considerable affect on CSU students. However, as a Trustee, Cruz Bustamante was not present for the vote which passed in July. and his Inner-City Games Foundation and lead the campaign to pass California's Proposition 49 to increase funding for after school programs. In 1991, Schwarzenegger served as executive commissioner of the Hollenbeck Youth Center Inner-City Games in Los Angeles. This gave kids education, opportunities and encouragement. He was given the Muhammad Ali Award by Ali himself in 2002. The California Faculty Association (CFA), which strives to fight for issues regarding faculty rights and support for CSU funding, has taken a firm "No on recall" stance/ According to the CFA website (www.calfac.org) they have yet to make an official endorsement for a particular candidate. According to the Lieutenant Governor's website, Bustamante has been credited, with launching the College Opportunity Outreach Program (COOP) aimed at promoting the new $1.2 billion Gal Grant opportunities to prospective college students. ByŒADSPINKS Pride StaffWriter With the future of Democrats in Sacramento under scrutiny with the recall of Governor Gray Davis, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante is campaigning with a "No on recall, yes on Bustamante" approach. As the top running candidate for the Democratic Party, students speculate how Bustamante will affect education. Bustamante is currently a member of the University of California board of regents and is acting chairman for the Trustees of the California State University (CSU) system. An important issue which affected CSU students Cruz supported the AB 16, K-12 & Higher Education Bond, which passed on the November 2002 ballot. The $12 billion bond focuses on the building and repairs of schools from high school to universities. The California-Mexico Scholars program, another college program established by Bustamante, offers postgraduate students opportunities to study at Mexican universities and opportunities for Mexican graduate students to study at California universities. Now, running for the Governor of California, Schwarzenegger has some plans with education in the state. Though not yet specified, Schwarzenegger's campaign website, http://www.joinarnoldxom/en/, said he will promote opportunities for students and work to make California's educational system stronger. He will make sure California schools contain the tools necessary to serve the students. He wants to invest more in teachers, the website said. By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter He's been on the big screen starring in many action packed movies such as all three "Terminator's" and "True Lies." He is also known for his bulging muscles giving him the look of a tough guy. Now Arnold Schwarzenegger is flexing his muscles through politics running for Governor of California. Schwarzenegger was born in Graz, Austria and came to the United States at the age of 21with only $20. He became a successful businessman before becoming an actor as an action-hero. He helped children through the Special Olympics Schwarzenegger supports Proposition 98 and his website said that he will protect California's commitment to education funding. He plans on letting schools make the decisions and building more of them. The website said he will send more funding into education for teachers, materials, and better schools. In his campaign website it said Schwarzenegger has big plans for the future of California and will work to make this state better. He thrives on the importance of education to give students a better opportunity in their lives.

Unfortunately, my email address was cut off my column in our first issue, thus making the feedback received somewhat limited to observations I have made on campus.

Educators in the state, including the California Teachers Association, argue that accountability in schools would be undermined due to the inability to collect data such as graduation and high school drop out rates. Programs designated to help improve schools would be significantly at risk if Proposition 54 passes. The Coalition for an Informed California, comprised of hundreds o f health, educational and civil rights groups, argues that Prop. 54 would undermine educational accountability, effectively block the collection of vital information needed to identify, track and address health disparities and cripple the state's ability to protect civil rights. Another major criticism of Proposition 54 deals with the protection of civil rights. Although data identifying race and ethnicity would no longer be collected, we understand that discrimination would undoubtedly still exist. Without racial and ethnic data, however, cases involving racial discrimination and racial profiling would be nearly impossible to Though often cited as a response to successfully prosecute. the health criticisms of the initiative, The arguments in favor of Proposition the health exemption on "medical 54 are deceptive, misleading and do research and patients" would still ban the collection of data needed to identify and not take into account the negative critically analyze disease and illnesses in implications affecting health, education and civil rights.
