(ASI) election, five positions are empty, as in no one is running, and of the candidates running, none of them have any opposition, The election is to be held Monday, March 22, with polls opening at 8 a.m., through March 25, polls closing at 5 p.m. Along with electing ASI representatives, voters will also see on the ballot two referendum^; student health facilities fee increase and student health services fee increase. 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. That's because the students from Visual Arts (VSAR) 306 are too busy editing footage for their projects to think about lounging around. VSAR 306, video in the community, is an entry level class offered every spring that gives students the opportunity to learn about video production while working within the community. 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.

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.

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. "Everybody's accepted in here, cause we're all different and crazy," said the same student. "It's kind of like a fraternity or sorority, where you get to meet people.

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.

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.

ASI Vice President of External A ffairs Erik Roper said of the damage, "It looks like a k nife cut. It looks like someone intentionally cut it." 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." Beau Faasamala, member of the Lounge K rew (LK), an u nofficial c ommunity of over 50 students who f requent the lounge, said in t his regard, "We would never destroy f urniture intentionally.

They o ffer counseling at no charge to students and are open to addressing any personal concerns.

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.

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."

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.

A new perspective on education: a married father finishes his education When Ryan Thomas, 26, business major, and his w ife went out on a rare date to see the movie "American Pie," they were asked for their IDs.

"We do blend in." Ryan was p art of CSUSM's first f reshman class in 1995. " I was j ust kind of struggling to find my major and my place in the world," he recalled. He later l eft CSUSM in favor of bigger schools in San Luis Obispo. 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. He considers himself fortunate to have a supportive wife, because he doesn't think he could do it without her. A s for his daughter, who attends the Extended Learning Center, she is interested in her dad's school life. He recalled her saying, 'Dad, you have six teachSee P ARENTS, page 7 LET'S TILL THE GOVERNOR TO KEEP PUBLIC EDUCATION PUBLIC, NO TO BUDGET CUTS ! E D AFFORDABLE EDUCATION!

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.

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. " I can do research there (at CRES) without having to I MS «rill be the mm w nipe mû t xcfIbi entertainment event In Sá» Diego thís siimmer. Don't miss It!

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.

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. This year, because we've used every last penny, we have no carry over at all, which basically means that the budget cuts affect us even more, because we don't have a cushion."

In 2001, the E PA reported that 3.5 million pounds of chemical waste was generated by tobacco manufacturing. 1 in 8 trees worldwide are cut down and used for tobacco growing or curing. A total of 300 cigarettes are produced from one tree. 16 applications of pesticides are recommended in the three months before the tobacco seed is planted 500,000 acres, of forest are lost to tobacco farming each year. 20 million people could be fed worldwide if the land used to grow tobacco grew food instead.

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.

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.

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 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!

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 .

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.

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. Those two guys During Robinson's first season in 1947 he endured more verbal then went on to inspire the likes abuse than most people receive in of Barry Bonds. Now Bonds is a lifetime. There was not a place inspiring the children of this where Robinson could go and generation. The link to Jackie not be called a derogatory name. Robinson is one that will forever Throughout the first year he be strong, We are a campus that expresses received numerous death threats that warned him if he were to diversity and equal rights as seen lace up his cleats and take the by the statue of Cesar Chavez field then he would be killed. On that stands proudly at the top of several occasions, the opponents the stairs. So, when April 15 rolls of the Dodgers threatened to around next year, do not forget to not take the field in protest of celebrate Jackie Robinson day by Robinson playing. Robinson throwing the ball around or just was forced to stay in a different by remembering the sacrifices hotel than his teammates when that he endured. After all, the Dodgers played on the road. Robinson did not just sacrifice He really only had one true for the advancement of baseball, white friend and that was Pee but for the greater good of every Wee Reese.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

O ne of the m ain topics of discussion for the current BOD and BOD elect was the amount of f unds that would b e allocated f rom the p rogramming board to subsidize the ELC. 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. ASI President and CEO, Honey Folk explained that t he budget, whether or not the f ee referendum passes, is still not balanced to zero. T he final budget f or the 04/05 academic year is due t o President Haynes May 10. Until the final budget is submitted, these figures are only proposals.

Many of these groups had exhibits o ffering students a wide range of information on a variety of topics, all of which was topped o ff with an international flare. K urt Lager, a senior business major, attended the f air on Thursday and found it to b e a positive experience. " I kind of ended u p at the f air by mistake between classes," Lager said, "but it was really cool to see how many people were out there, and how many countries were b e represented." 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, "Obviously, we highly value individual trust and integrity and always want to help students become more responsible Beh Rooz, junior, business "Take more pride in what for their own welfare, to make they're doing.

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.

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.

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.

XI NO. 28 Ceremonies t o b e h eld i n t w o p arts 'He will survive' Captain of the CSUSM surf team represents 'a story of perseverance' BY MICHELLE V ELARDE Pride Staff Writer The first week of this semester, campus was packed with preoccupied students looking for p arking, crashing classes, and b uying books. Thomas Gorman, a senior f acing his last semester at CSUSM, stepped onto campus that week with a whole d ifferent s et of t hings on h is m ind. H is f ather w as ill with t erminal cancer, and f or the past t wo years G orman h ad worked diligently t o finish h is degree, hoping that h is f ather would b e alive to see h im graduate. However, by the end of that first week, his father h ad p assed away at the age of 57, leaving G orman j ust short of achieving that dream. Gorman struggled to balance his emotional anguish with Photo by Michelle Velarde/77ze Pride Thomas Gorman's father taught him to surf when he was a child. After his dad succombed to cancer, Gorman began*carrying on their morning tradition alone. work and a h efty load of sixteen units. 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. Due to budget cuts this year, the ceremonies had to be consolidated into two events. The first one is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. with an 8:00 a.m. check-in. 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. T he t wo ceremonies w ill consist of several speakers and the actual n ame recital of t he graduates shortly t hereafter. The m ajority of u ndergraduate science m ajors will w alk d uring the morning ceremony, while those in the a rts w ill g raduate later in the day. The candidates for master's degrees will b e divided along the same lines. President Haynes will open both ceremonies with t he welcome and introduction See CEREMONY, page 3 A l i s t o f c o m m e n c e m e n t s p e a k e r s A race to graduate Elizabeth Kingsbury Karen Haynes Janet McDaniel A s a liberal studies major at CSUSM, Elizabeth Kingsbury h as already b een an active public speaker. " 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. In the past, she was honored when the Credential Analysts of California named her the 1994 Teacher of the Year. McDaniel earned her bachelor's degree f rom W hitman College in Walla Walla, Washington and her master's and Ph.D. f rom the University of Washington, Seattle.

Graduation ceremonies prior to 2002 were held in the grassy area by Kellogg library in F orum Plaza, but because of the library construction, the graduation site had to relocate this year. Of the move o ff-campus, Villa said, "I have done extensive research, driving u p and down the county looking f or an appropriate venue. Fortunately, Del M ar hosted us. They are a w onderful host and are v ery happy with u s as well." The question of whether the ceremony will ever b e back on campus is still undecided. Villa said the decision is u p to President Haynes, who will determine if and when CSUSM may b e able to accommodate the large amount of graduates again in Forum Plaza.

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. When his father was diagnosed with cancer, the cancer was in stage four and had already spread to his brain, lungs, and spinal D D Pal State San Marcos 333 N Twin Oaks Valley Road San Marcos, CA 92096-0001 Phone:(760)750-6099 Fax:(760)750-3345 E-mail: pride@csusm.edu http://wwwxsusm.edu/pride Ad e-wiail: Pride_ads@caistaedu 1 cord. A fter t aking a f ew y ears o ff of school, G orman c ame back when he realized that h is father might not have much t ime l eft. T he y ears when h is f ather's illness progressed would prove t o b e some of t he. hardest t imes G orman ever experienced. G orman helped h is f amily take care of his father until he passed away. It w as particularly hard for G orman t o watch his f ather's body give i n t o t he cancer, and remembers doing things that "sons don't envision doing things for their fathers." A nd while the entire duration of his f ather's illness was difficult, losing h im this particular year was hard for Gorman. " He h as been challenged like you wouldn't believe this year," n m r P uha said. "You really have no one t o f all back on b ecause your d ad is k ind of like t he prominent figure when y ou're growing up. So you feel alone," G orman said. School b ecame especially difficult. "Like, I 'll t ry t o leave and I 'll have assignments I have to t urn i n, a nd I 'll have t o go back to t he house t hree d ifferent times until I make it (to school)," G orman said.

G orman h as also spent a lot of t ime working with the developmentally disabled in San M arcos, and h as been involved with t he Special Olympics. He said that working with his clients h as helped h im keep going. " They've b een kind of an inspiration, you know.

"He sticks to h is g uns," M ikita said. "I'm proud of h im." According t o Soriano, Gorman represents " the personal life and hardships that take place for students outside of school.

"There are many advantages to the celebration being held in Del Mar," she said. "The stage is on the track and the guests have a perfect view of the whole process. You never have to worry about limiting guests." 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.

Brett Gladys has spent this past How long have you been year on the ASI Programming Board, helping to enhance student working with the Programming Board? life at CSUSM. I 'm finishing up my second After the last barbeque of the semester, wearing a green year. I 've been there since the Hawaiian shirt accompanied with beginning. What is your favorite part of red-yellow board shorts, Brett sat down with The Pride for a Q & A the job? When people pop their heads session. So what do you do for the into the office and thank us for school as a member of the the work that we do. Or when any students are genuinely Programming Board? Uhhhh ... I wouldn't say I do appreciative of the work we do. What has been your favorite anything for the school, I do it for activity or event this year? the students. The Masquerade Ball. That's where my interest lays: Why? students having a positive college I like dancing. I would experience. probably say I 'm a dancing I work with the Programming XDeanna WaCsh Congratulations on your incredißle accomplishment. The trials you Have-perserveredleave us in awe of you. We than^Cjodforyou. Love, (Dad, Mom and (Patrie^ machine. And it's exciting to see over 300 San Marcos students outside San Marcos having a good time together. 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.

Ironically, it was that book that inspired Robert to become a writer. " I feel like that is something I can o ffer to the world," said the graduating senior. Woerheide, who was published in CSUSM's Pride Literary Supplement, also arose as a leader in the creative writing c ommunity on campus.

N o Gain is a f our piece, speedy p op p unk band out of Tokyo, Japan, that serves u p a sound reminiscent of F.Y.P., Spazz and Hi-Standard. " It's O utrageous" the debut album f rom N o Gain is twelve tracks of uninhibited songs about girls, surfing, and hardcore breakups, all done with Japanese style. From the v ery first track titled "Never Change," listeners c an't help but b e drawn into the f our p art vocal harmonies, simple chord progressions, and melodies that will stick with you for days to come. N o Gain singer, Archy, delivers a performance comparable to Jello B iafra of the Dead Kennedys, while guitarists Dee and Maki, back h im up with strong harmonies that are best described as, GLORIOUS! D rummer A 2 delivers the final blow t o listeners with doubletime beats and super quick fills, that make you feel like your h eart may explode.

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.

Haynes, has prepared for her first full year by creating a new committee. This new committee, which will include a position dedicated to the President of Associated Students, Inc. "I am trying to assure student voices in cabinets and advisory councils and add more substance to the student role," said Haynes.

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.

On November 3, President Haynes will be hosting an event, to which faculty, staff and the community will be invited, to celebrate the 15th anniversary 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?

"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.

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."

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 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.

"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.

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.

Braff s film "Garden State," which he credited as writer, director and starring in, has gained support since it's initial release in June. Picked up by Miramax and Fox Searchlight Pictures, the film is now on a wide-scale release. Thefilmbegins in Los Angeles where Andrew Largeman (Braff) is living as a struggling actor.

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.

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.

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."

"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.

"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.

Laura Poggi of ASI said, "I think this is an incredible indicator of public support for the students of CSUSM and it says a lot about ASI that they were able to come through and resolve an unfortunate situation that wasn't in the best interests of students." Is Law School Your Next Step? $44 $75 $55 did not happen in this case — at least to the degree I would like — and I regret that." 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.

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. These creative methods include panel discussions, movies and sometimes even dancing.

One new face in the crowd has a vision to bring the athletic department to something students and faculty can be proud of. His name is Dr. Stephen Nichols and he is our new interim director of athletics for at least the next two years. 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. QL �Surf t eam p repares for u pcoming s eason BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer On September 25 at Crosswaithe St. in Oceanside, Associated Student, Inc. (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. The ASI Surf Team is lead by coach Dr. Amber Puha, and team manager Ryan James. "Coach Amber Puha is the key reason we have a surf team at CSUSM," said James. "She is very knowledgeable about the sport of surfing." The ASI Surf Team competes at some of the best surf spots in Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer What do you dream about? 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.

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.

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?

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.

The Faint: Wet From Birth BY WILL LEMON P ride S taff W riter Dianne (Lucy Davis), Liz (Kate Ashfield), David (Dylan Moran), Shaun (Simon P hoto c ourtesy w ww.uhm.com Pegg), Mom (Nicola Cunningham) and Ed (Nick Frost) pretend to be zombies. 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.

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] � � Image � <alt � tag=”hands � in � clenched � fists � and � picket � signs”> � � [Protest � from � pg.1] � � CSUSM � President � Karen � Haynes, � the � person � largely � responsible � for � the � 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.” � � ASI � announced � last � Thursday � that � thanks � to � private � donors � Moore � will � speak � on � October � 12 � at � 7 � p.m. � at � the � nearby � Del � Mar � Fairgrounds. � ASI � will � begin � selling � tickets � today, � Tuesday � September � 28. � Tickets � are � free � for � students � and � available � on � a � first- come � first- served � basis. � Event � tickets � can � be � acquired � at � Commons � 207 � from � 8:30 � A.M. � to � 4:30 � P.M. � M- F � except � the � day � of � the � event � and � cost � $10 � for � non- students. � � � [Credits, � page � 2] � � THE �

Last � Wednesday, � September � 22, � students � and � staff � gathered � on � the � Kellogg � Library � terrace � for � a � “Thank � you � for � Recycling” � celebration. � There � were � games, � prizes � and � almost � 500 � hot � dogs � handed � out � at � the � event. � � � “For � this � event � we � wanted � to � focus � on � the � accomplishment � which � the � school � has � reached � 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 � Green � Team’s � website � at: � http://www.csusm.edu/facilities/recycle.htm � � Features � [pg.4] � � Recognized � for � Creativity � By � Alfred � Chu � � [NOTE: � Gerado � Gonzales � is � wrong. � The � name � is � Gerardo � González] � � � After � submitting � and � application � and � a � review � by � a � committee, � this � year’s � recipient � for � the � President’s � Award � for � Scholarly � and � Creative � Activity � is � Gerado � Gonzales, � director � of � the � National � Latino � Center � (NLRC) � and � professor � of � psychology. � � � “I � enjoy � working � with � student � [sic],” � said � Gonzales. � “My � goal � is � to � share � research � opportunities � with � students � and � if � they � can � get � involved � while � in � the � graduate � program, � this � increases � their � chances � for � careers.” � � Coming � from � a � large � migrant � hard � working � family, � Gonzales � first � arrived � at � CSUSM � in � 1991. � As � one � of � two � professors � in � the � psychology � department � during � that � time, � he � has � seen � rapid � changes � on � and � off � campus. � � � After � graduating � from � CSU � Fresno, � Gonzales � received � his � doctorate � from � California � School � of � Professional � Psychology. � He � has � completed � extensive � clinical � and � research � training � in � psychotherapy � at � UC � Berkeley � for � two � years. � Gonzales � also � completed � a � post � doctorate � research � fellowship � at � the � University � of � San � Francisco. � � � Gonzales � has � been � an � adjunct � professor � at � CSU � Hayward � for � one � year � and � UC � Berkeley. � Since � 1991, � Gonzales � has � taught � many � psychology � courses � ranging � from � computer � applications � in � psychology, � in � the � upper � division � level, � to � graduate � programs � courses � such � as � pre- seminar � in � counseling � and � clinical � psychology. � � � Director � of � the � NLRC � since � 2002, � the � organization � specializes � in � research, � training, � technical � assistance � and � services � that � commit � to � the � understanding � and � awareness � of � the � United � States � Latino � community. � The � research � is � conducted � from � community � issues � and � concerns � to � a � solution. � � � Research � topics � included � education, � public � policy, � employment, � mental � and � physical � health. � The � services � include � evaluations, � demographic � studies, � �assessments, � interest � groups, � surveys � and � data � analyses. � Thus � they

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.

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). Coming this November, Stone is releasing their Double Bastard Ale (10% Ale/Vol).

As well, holds an Associate of Arts degree in Radio and Television. He also has a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Film Studies. In addition, Jason is also a published author. Recently, Hinkle won an Award of Excellence from the 2004 Accolade Competition i n Escondido, California. Previously, he also won the top prize for Special Documentary Award from the Goldie Film Awards Festival. Hinkle is a regular guy that values his friendships and has a great perspective on life. His documentary is an autobiographical account of the challenges that he must face on a daily basis due to his disorder, Frederick's Ataxia. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary ataxia means, an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some nervous disorder. Frederick's Ataxia is just one of the untreatable and incurable diseases existing today. Awareness is vital because maybe one day there will be a cure to relieve the immense suffering that people diagnosed with Frederick's Ataxia experience on a daily basis. Presumably fearless, Hinkle faces life's challenges on a daily basis and he does it by creating awareness now. He strives to create a better future for the unborn children in the world that will inevitably inherit Friederick's Ataxia.

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? I have never thought much of jinxes or curses. That is just something that ball players believe in like stepping on the chalk lines will affect the way you pitch or that a Billy goat is the reason why the Cubs haven't won a world series since 1908. I thought nothing of me being th m i A M TI E VUl WAN C C LASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples. Some of the many eggs your body disposes monthly.

Nor did I think anything of it when they lost on the first Friday night home game against one of the best pitchers in the league in Randy Johnson. I started to get concerned around mid June when they lost to the lowly Devil Rays. Then on July 9 the Padres reliable closer Trevor Hoffman blew a save versus the unassuming Colorado Rockies. The final straw for me came on the first of August when the Dodgers came from behind in 12 innings to beat the Padres.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We're not going to have a d raft so long as I'm the president," added Bush. "Let me tell you where the president's policies have put us . . . 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. "We should not only see what's being reported but also what's not being reported," said Greenwood. "I think the documentary L mmmmm«* n r s « . » I BÈI H I is very thought provoking.

"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.

So when a communications major, tells me "I was going to go that route but didn't want to wait tables," I feel offended. How should one respond? Do I nod my well-read head and agree that my future does in fact look dismal? Or should I stand up and be proud of the fact that reading is fundamental, and don't I know it!

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.

One of my favorite tracks was "Dime" which is about taking things for granted. Lines like "I'm fine/And I shine/I'm freshly minted/I'm silver-plated/I'm underrated" really hit close to home because they can be applied to so many things, including the band, who are underrated in my opinion. Things speed up next with "Carbon Monoxide" which is blend of the pop-punk that is so popular today and classic rock from the '60s and '70s. "The Guitar Man" slows things down a bit in sort of a romantic parody of the influence that music has over our lives. Music will never let us down and neither has this album.

'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.

During this stop on his "Slacker Uprising Tour," Moore announced that the remaining funds raised for the evening's event would go to a scholarship/grant program for CSUSM students.

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. "Australian universities offer many of the same programs as U.S. schools," said Eddy Dharmadji of Macquarie University near Sydney. "And of course, there isfinancialaid available." Despite the inclement weather, more than half of the 65 schools expected to attend were present.

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.

"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.

Snake skins, mock-croc, tweed, cropped jackets, sweaters, f urs, brooches and gold are everywhere. Mixing and matching is also key to your look. This season's jackets and skirts are all interchangeable. Break up a suit and add a distinctive brooch to the collar or tie a sash around your waist. Snatch an "it b ag" and your pumps and you will b e set with your outfit. The number one accessory this season is the brooch. This item is an essential one.

Metallic bags especially gold are also the hot item of this season. Now with your bag, you need the perfect pumps to match. The best pump will be anything sweet and chic. Pumps adorned with a prim bow, embellished with f ur, snake skin or bejeweled with a brooch are all sizzling attributes to your fabulous shoes. Jackets are an important item for fall's chilly weather. Be sure to pick the right ones. Your jacket should be elegant tweed, one with showy sequins or trimmed with f ur. Fur is in but don't worry you don't have to kill a bunny to snatch the look. Faux far works great as well. Remember, these jackets are versatile; pair the jacket up with a matching skirt, jeans, over a sexy frock or with cropped pants. Let the special piece (your jacket) stand out by keeping the accessories simple in this case. As for men, this year's fall fashion is sporty yet classy and old school yet fresh. Vintage inspired items f rom the 70's are back again with a whole new twist. Down vests have been spotted as the new trend. These vests can be worn over button down shirts and jackets. They keep you warm and are comfortable as well. These down vests are hip in any color: bright orange, green, yellow, basic black, brown or khaki will all do. Argyle sweaters are an essential for men. The diamonds are everywhere; they are on crewnecks, cardigans and sweater vests. Layering one of these is the biggest style this season. Pinstriped pants are also the " it" look. 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. Navy and gray, gray and brown, or brown and orange are all worthy color combinations when it comes to pinstriped pants. This fall's fashion for men and women is all about mixing and matching.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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 New Danger" is for the open-minded, I definitely recommend it. if I'm I rib u k v v » 3pm~9pm ISDN BILLY WATSON CBittes/Kockabilly) 1IH24I H I 1 / 9 ISUN M 02 S AN D IEGO O. A .

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. I. Joe to make sweet sweet love. "Team America: World Police" is about a super-patriotic, elite group of American crime-fight- Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures ers who chase down and wipe out terrorists all over the globe. 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.

Left: Teacher Janet Hastert instructs the children. Below: The children enjoy a mid-afternoon snack. 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. "Essentially, the ELC will be running itself," See ELC, page 2 Campus debates ballot propositions BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer More than 100 students gathered in the Clarke Field house on Thursday, October 21 to watch and engage in a debate addressing four of the ballot propositions up for consideration on November 2. 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. Currently, the state of California does not require that children attend preschool before enrolling in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before ' "V , ^ ' J -'I The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year, Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establish meats.

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.

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.

I could give you hundreds of reasons why you should go buy this book, but really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip through it for just a second, and you will be sold immediately. If you cannot find a copy to review and you just don't want to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A sometime and take a look at ours! 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. The second word in the title describes what the album is perfectly: beautiful. � 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. INSIDE BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer News Former Qualcomm CEO speaks on rnn^mJ^g^L .. 2 Seethe world as a student pg 3 th This year would have marked the 12 annual Tukwut Powwow for many Cal State San Marcos students. 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.

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.

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.

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.

(I so hate Bob Saget) Jamarr had a great right-up on Kweli's CD, Phoenix came through as always, and Ms. Guevarra had a great one on four with professors from other lands that all seemed to say 'America needs to chill/ So what's wrong? Why do I feel like I need a double shot of wheat grass with a squeeze of Viagra to get an arousal out of this collection of tree-skins? Then, I come back to the frontpage, the news. The Referendum that saved the ELC had a whopping 565 students vote, the ballot debate started with 100 people and dwindled to 20,24 people hung round the FHM comedian, and let's not forget the excitement of signing a beam for the new building atop the h ill Our campus cannot b e this friggin' d ull When the signing of building materials takes the front and center of a paper, something is seriously hosed up, Coincidentally, the same week that produced this gala-of-thedull was just after the headsin-charge (the illustrious Editors-in-chief) demanded that all articles had to be in by Thursday afternoon. 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. No matter what party you subscribe to, Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., or no matter how flawed you believe our election system is we are still very fortunate to have the opportunity to vote. Whether you cast your vote f or the incumbent's certainty, or the candidate that claims "Help is on the w ay" or f or Nader, your vote does count. So now that the votes our votes are cast, we can start the clean u p process; ie. Removing stickers from our vehicles; taking signs off our front lawns; and washing away the chalk. Let's all get back to normal. Please give your hippie-liberal or your rightwing-Hummer-owner neighbor a big hug. So thank you, f or participating our wonderfully free election, The Pride Editors. 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? That's counting lA of Thursday, all of Friday through Sunday, and a sliver of Monday. Don't get me wrong, I know splicing this puppy and gettin' her ready for print is a tough job. Jason Encabo is our only layout designer (and he kicks ass), but there's gotta be something we can do. 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.

Please mon'generals, do something. Make the news newsworthy. 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.

Once known as the world's top superhero, Mr. Incredible, along with his wife Mrs. Incredible, and another famous superhero were forced to abandon their famous lives in order to give their kids a normal life. After fifteen years of trying to be a normal family, Mr. Incredible is summoned to duty by a mysterious source. Itching for action, Mr. Incredible takes the dangerous assignment to try to regain the superhero life he misses so much.

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.

According to Robert Williams of CSXJSM Parking Services, thefloodingof the entrance was caused by the location of the, "catch basin at the north end of lot Y where most of thefloodingoccurred. The water compromised the dirt bank and created afloodat the entrance. Installation of the catch basin is scheduled, but the area must dry out completely prior to starting work."

Williams states that the officers laughed while executing the search. Williams said he was then forced into the cruiser and taken to jail.

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. BWANTÉD'^ voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey, Corey, and Jamie as possible names for the cougar mascot. 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. Goodbye political season, see you in four years. san mareos THURSDAYS N ight F ree C over « / College I D 80'$ Hock Cover Band! m>e<nr»r 21 & up W s A L NIGHT L FRI - SAT Nothing But Touring Stand-up Comics!

I wasn't going to let that stop me from serving my civic virgin. Like anyone who is about to duty; I wasn't going to let anyexperience the bliss of their first thing or anyone get in my way. The second I got out of my 11:15 time, I was ready: this was going to be an experience I was going class I ran down all thirty flights to remember for the rest of my of stairs, jumped in my car, and hopped on the 78 heading west. life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You'll shoot your eye out." This caveat echoes through out the film "A Christmas Story." The statement is the recurring logic that places a seemingly immovable obstacle in the path of young Ralphie's quest to obtain a "Genuine Red Ryder Carbine Action Two Hundred Shot Lighting Loader Range Model Air Rifle" for Christmas. 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. Now, instead of fighting with my little brother over who gets to light the menorah candles or sleep on the big couch while we wait for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like "A Very Crappy Christmas." 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is anticipated that the Reading Room will be a multi-purpose room into the foreseeable f uture," said Stakes. The goal is to bring back the traditional reading rooms of great libraries of the past.

Both had been Ivy's professors last fall before her accident. "I met Ivy when she took my GEH class. She's extremely smart, dynamic, and passionate. A person who has a real passion for life...always helping other students... she was about tolerance and teaching diversity. I hope to see her in class again," said Schaffman. Anover, Ivy's French professor, read a letter to her in French saying, "This is a tribute to your inner and outer energy.. .1 know you will be back soon." Jenna Wood from Alpha Chi Omega announced that her sorority would be making a holiday basket for Ivy and presenting it to her in the hospital.

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.

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.

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?

Fortunately for seniors, they are privileged with priority registration above the other classes; unfortunately for sophomores, because there is a first in line, there must also be a last in line. Some freshmen are preparing for this transition simply by dragging out their freshman status. By taking four classes instead offivein the spring of 2005, they are guaran- teed registration before many of their peers, at least for fall 2005. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some of the glass fell on an unidentified female student sitting below the window. When officers arrived on the scene shortly thereafter she was taken to Student Health Services where glass was removed from her hair and clothing. Investigating University Police Officer Hernandez described the victim as being "very lucky" that she escaped serious injury or death as the average size of the larger shards of glass was "six to twelve inches in length".

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. Although prices are a step or two above those at Mr. Taco (most meals will run around $10-$20), the Old Spaghetti Factory offers a good sit ÉttÂËË category of Mexican food can be found at Mr. Taco, along with lots of fellow classmates. Plenty of available seating both indoor and outside makes Mr. Taco a nice place to have a casual meal with friends, plus fast service is helpful for those who need take-out for their tight class schedule. down atmosphere for fans of Italian food. 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.

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."

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.

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.

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."

In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester.

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."

" I don't m ind them being there, I j ust don't like it when they're aggressive," said CSUSM student Talisha St. John. "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. Every Tuesday at 4pm in U NIV 449 and Thursdays, 7pm at Mocha Marketplace in Restaurant Row.

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.

Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar B aby" is yet another boxing movie, but it is much more than that. It is a film that challenges the viewer by a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be. Hillary Swank plays Maggie, a trailer-trash waitress who dreams of t raining to become a champion boxer. She j oins a worn-out old g ym owned by Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood.

But when the acoustic guitar kicks in, it seems to fill a whole other genre. Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead u p to The Postal Service's first album release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and references to subjects like d rug abuse - and being trapped within ourselves compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great H eights" The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics resonate with t oday's youth, and fill a void f or t oday's adolescent. With songs ranging in vocal precision and intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark G able" gives young audiences a great feeling of welcome and support in this society of structure. A s f ans wait for their next release, it is certain that despite wherever they tread musically, The Postal Service will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations.

The screenplay was w ritten by Paul Haggis, who adapted the story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner." The overall look of the film is very dark with many night scenes and characters filmed in t he shadows. Eastwood's camera and lighting techniques create a very distinctive mood that makes t he dialogue even more dramatic. Much of the story takes place in a gritty, dilapidated old g ym that looks like it belongs in a third-world and he has nailed the perfect formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It will not b e a surprise to anyone when he picks u p the award for best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million Dollar B aby" is probably the best film o f2004, but it remains to b e seen if it will actually b e honored with that title. country rather t han in Los Angeles. T he first two-thirds of the film moves rather slowly, but it allows the audience to develop a genuine a ffection f or the characters and prepare them f or a dramatic plot twist. Swank's character evolves physically as she t rains and her superb athleticism is matched only by her considerable acting skills. Eastwood is, f or the most p art, convincing in his role as trainer. The choice for him to b e reading Yeats and learning Gaelic seems a bit of stretch, but for a 75-year-old guy, he still rocks.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

"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. How much do...excuse me, how much on campus who wants to be involved, 'does9 your-your organization, uh, comjust try and, um, just try and create some campus awareness for our club and just get munity, aid...that kind of external helping out? How much community aid do members through that way. What do you feel is your role within you think your organization provides? Um, probably not as much as we should the campus community? be or would like to be. We don't have as As a club I feel like our role is just to make Christ's presence on this campus many members as we would (chuckles) like to or as we've known, and had in the past, really to, um, so its hard to be just create just - as- involved in a place whether the community through our club we do um were or where stuinvolved in the dents can come sexual responand just feel the sibility week love of Christ that's... next and just hang out week, I think, with other people um, we try and on campus.

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.

And let me just say* whether you take WilHams' side or not, you have to give the dude credit for having the mahooshkas to put himself on the public opinion slab. There's a lot of talking heads on this campus that abuse this paper to give their nickel opinions five-dollar words. (Count me amongst 'em.) But Williams ain't one of us. Until Chez's article last week, Williams had avoided attempts for an interview. To grant one in the face of an investigation that found Baker and Poncherello were okay to put the cuffs on, shoots down all theories that suspected Williams was doing this just to pull a 'Get Out of J ail'free card, My ethereal hat goes off to Chez and most of all to Mr. Williams.

(I'm a History/Lit major if you're missing the point) An experience akin to custody visits with divorcing parents* Either way, I've been just as much a victim of the advising woes of History freaks as the rest of me classmates. Matt balanced those woes with the reasons for them. Something that tends to be lacking in our news stories. I felt no manipulations or bias, though I know Schramm is a classmate and so faces the same advising probs. It was nice to get a balanced perspective on the situation that didn't place blame on the Advising office who've been doing their best to tackje that Beast that came from Sacramento. (Budget cuts.)

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.

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."

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.

We've all heard the conversations bashing the food quality, the prices and the look, but the conversations might just come to an end. The Dome is getting ready for an extreme makeover, Cal State San Marcos style. . Christopher Wood, head chef for the Dome, is expecting some money (the amount is not yet known) from the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students say are much needed renovations. "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.

Wellness month is also aimed at helping to promote a sense of well-being around the campus. All month long events will be held in the Clark Field House and free lunches and prizes will be given out. 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. From 11 am - 2 pm at the Clarke Field House there will be wellness information along with prizes, free food, a golf clinic, and raffles. Following the expo, free massages will be available until 5 p.m. The Fair and Expo is being put on by the Clark Field House in conjunction with Student Health Services.

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.

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. As a representative of the College of Arts and Science I will push for the inclusion of Latin American history into our campus. 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.

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.

"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."

This is to say nothing of the triad of young, smart starters who could rival Oakland's Big Three given time - Brian Lawrence, Jake Peavy and my personal favorite, Adam Eaton. Padres boosters have a lot to look forward to this season. Other than the usual big San Diego names, there were solid performances coming out of return Padre and bench player Mark Sweeney, infielder Taggert Bozied, centerfielderDave Roberts and pitcher Rusty Tucker. This Padres team should have the bench depth that the 2004 squad sometimes struggled with. If Darrell May or someone else can perform as the fifth starter, expect them to go above and beyond their 2004 performance and contend for the division title.

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. Mike Medina of the SDSU office explained that students should be prepared when traveling, especially to a poetry BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Race, love, abuse, heartbreak, women's rights, and life in general.. .tough issues, but someone needs to talk about them. Poet and performance artist Bridget Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's History Month. Sponsored by Student Residential Life, Gray will perform in Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 14. Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not afraid to tackle the issues in life that others tend to avoid. Her signature piece, "Shades of Gray," was released in 2001, and her second CD, "Self Love," will be issued this year. Gray has won many poetry slam competitions and has recently been the host of a nationally syndicated radio show called "Electric Moyo." Her dynamic stage presence and the relevance of her words will ~ surely make an entertaining evening for those who attend the performance. Gray will also be conducting a question and answer period after the performance and read- Photo courtesy of www.totalescape.com Above: Take time out to enjoy the outdoor scenery of Cabo. Right: Socialize with other spring-breakers in Cancun. foreign country. "Do a little research," said Medina, because students must know the laws of the country they plan to visit. STA Travel offers package deals to students traveling and is already booking for summer vacation. Local all inclusive travel companies, such as Summer Winter Action Tours (S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T events. They have trips to Mexico that include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour is for members only and gives a safe way to travel in a large group. The company has EMT's on site and corresponds with the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

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. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Television Wifeswap Image courtesy of www.abc.com BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Jon Marsh / www.velophoto.com When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show. 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.

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.

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. "I'm very proud of it (the event and attendance)," said McCorkle, who is also the President of Phi Alpha Theta. McCorkle said she was thankful for those military personnel who joined her in the forum, noting that she was "glad that we can continue to put on these events and students and faculty are interested."

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. If anything, at least send in your story ideas to pride@csusm.edu if you know of an event coming up that is newsworthy. After all, it is easy to call out the problems in something. It is difficult to do something about it. 1 A # lot o f readers h a v e �It's time to think THE PRIDE OPINION life actually life?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ASI Alternative Spring Break program held a r affle during the event in hopes erf raising money for s ecuring toiletries to help aid the homeless on t he streets of San Francisco during spring break. 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. He said however that while Leonard was out interviewing students on campus h e has, " been in (his) office this last week doing the b udget...it's the d ifference between handling the business and having f un. ASI can b e a lot of f un, but if we don't handle the business, with representing students at state and campus wide levels, then we are not doing our job." D eGuzman is current V P of Finance. 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 !§§!

WEDNESDAY MARCH 23, 5:30PM COMMONS 206 What if I'm ence is going to have to pay attention because there are a lot of underlying meanings," Davis said about his film. 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. The entire film was shot in f our days, and the final editing took five months to complete. All t hree are current students with 18 or more units who put in over 300 hours to put this film together.

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. Making f riends with the bouncers and the bartenders always g uarantees V IP service, even if you • • are not p art of Paris Hilton's posse. If you are particularly low on f unds this spring break, t ry having one person in your group wear a crown or veil on their head. People will t hink it's that person's birthday or they are the bachelorette and t hey'll b e eager to buy them a d rink. Use this tip wisely though and take t urns "There's nothing sexy about throwing up in the bathroom of your favorite bar while your best friend holds your hair back and your designated driver takes pictures." get to distribute them amongst family, f riends and co-workers the next day.

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. I couldfi't believe that Sara had actuI was Sara's only hope in finding an ally tracked me answer to her down and got a " " " many years of hold of my work confusion.

I talked Sara. to Jake and all Sarah immehe could tell me diately called me was that Sara was a fter I hung up crazy, and that he couldn't control her. with her best friend. 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. This time the girl on the the fact that I hadn't met Jake or talked to other end was actually trying to get infor- him on the phoney she was now convinced mation from me. 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. I found this odd. as Sara went on to explain the previous Realizing that I was not about to dis- situation that had taken place years ago close anything to her she decided to give b etween herself and Nikki. me a little background. 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.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION CORRECTIONS Vol. XIII No.8 In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. 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.

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.

"No where in this bill do you see that there is a requirement to give equal time to any fringe, whacko, off-the-wall fairy that comes in," said Morrow Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at the university level and that the decisions would be made by the faculty of the particular university.

Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom." Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi said that there weren't multiple sides to every subject, and that the bill wouldn't require the type of pluralism critics claim.

"ASI could investigate to help the student, ASI actually doing something for the students for once," said Bonomi.

Frankel / The Pride BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer While my fellow students lie asleep in their beds, before the sun has risen, I meet up with eight big, meaty guys and yell at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!" "Harder!" "Drive it in!" and "That's right, long and strong!" Don't be fooled by my naughty language—it's my job—I'm a coxswain. 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. To get to Solid Ro^k exit the 78 freeway at Barham Dr/ Woodland Pkwy, once you are on Woodland Pkwy go east on Rancheros.

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.

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!

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.

With so much going on in everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^ and smaller, and as we interpret the looks of fellow people around campus, and the world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." 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.

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.

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.

Governor Cruz Bustamante and California State Assemblymember Loni Hancock, took CSUSM students, faculty, and staff are willing to bleed to help San Diegans in need. 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.

Students from county community colleges and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San Diego office last week.

The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned for the 2005/2006 school year.

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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. The author, a mother who lost her own son to suicide, thought that a magnet, similar to the one used in the study, could GRADUATION, from page 1 ters' candidates, teacher candidates, and finally those receiving bachelor's degrees.

Graduates may bring a small bottle of water and a camera, but need to leave anything bulky behind. Cell phones must be turned off once the ceremony starts. Guests will be seated on the second, third and fourth levels of the grandstand. There is handicap access on all levels and plenty of seating. All seats will have a great View of the big screen on the track and all seats are shaded, so hats and sunscreen are not necessary. Refreshments and leis will also be available for purchase. That brings us to graduation etiquette. 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!

T here are some b ooks you want t o hold on to f orever... f or e verything else t here's www. whosegotthebook.com. CSUSM students M att Cook and K ris Maxey got t ired of overpaying f or their text b ooks and getting only a s mall f raction of what they paid f or t hem in r eturn. But they d idn't sit on t heir l azy r ear e nds like the rest of u s — they did something about i t — they created a website f or CSUSM students t o list and sell t heir b ooks online. T here a re a lot of national websites that students could u se t o sell and t rade b ooks, but b etween shipping f ees and not k nowing t he p erson you a re getting t he b ook f rom, it b ecomes a complicated process. " With a lot of t he national sites, y ou're sending y our b ooks all t he w ay to. N ew York, w hereas t his one, you c an meet somebody at y our s chool...in t he dome or the library," said Cook. To u se t he website, students need only log in and post t he i nformation about their book. Website creators Matt Cook and Kris Maxey. "You put the name of the b ook.. .the a uthor... and how much you are asking f or the book, so it can t urn into a little bit of a competition between students...you might see the same book posted at five d ifferent prices, «and you can choose which one you prefer," said Cook. W hen a student posts the information about the book they want to sell, it is temporarily held in a database. Then the student receives an email with Cook and Maxey's contact information. "You can either send payment [by mail] or you can tell u s and we can meet you somewhere... One of the things w e're hoping for is that as [the website] develops, you can pay online and (your posting) can go u p right away, but that w asn't really possible for u s f rom the start," said Cook. The cost of using the website is $3 per book posting and the book stays listed until it sells or the student wishes to remove it San Marcos O utstanding Features Competitive Rates Month-to-Month Leases Perimeter Alarm System website. It's easily accessible. If you can go online and register for your classes, you can post a book on the website. Little kids could u se it. It's very simple," said Maxey. What will the bookstore t hink of www.whosegothebook.com? " They a ren't gonna like it. T hey're not gonna like it one bit, because t hey're basically a monopoly, so why would they want another business to i nfringe on their monopoly?" said Maxey. But i nfringing on bookstore monopoly is exactly what Cook and Maxey hope t o do—with student help that is. " Go ahead and t ry our web site.

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. For more information on the album or on Copeland's touring schedule check out www. thecopelandsite.com or www.themilitagroup. com.

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.

T hese are a f ew of the words of enlightenment t he " Hitchhiker's Guide t o t he G alaxy" o ffers to its readers, and t he r ules earth-man A rthur Dent and h is alien companion Ford P refect follow in t his non-stop action-comedy film adaptation of the Douglas Adams book. 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. This movie is b etter than t he original " Star Wars" and should b ecome a classic. You don't have to b e a sci-fi f an to enjoy " Hitchhiker's Guide to t he G alaxy" much of the intense humor surrounds t he irony of existence itself.

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. A nd if a book on a t-shirt w asn't enough of an anomaly, we now have a great film of that book"that values props over CGI. 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? Providing any k ind of synopsis would r uin a film so defined by its surprises, but I will tell you not to get too caught upr in t he s tunning e ffects as the wit and insights hit j untas Jiard, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

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.

Rarely was there a conbeing said, the following is my solation call or a formal rejection take on the time I spent hunting for - losing comes often in this game a career and dealing with the new so one has to be strong. Some have argued that job reality of the current job market. searching is a full-time job, but that kind of roller coaster is not good for Setting sail the psyche. It would take a dozen I actually graduated in January or so pints of strong imported ale 2004 but stuck around Cal State to deal with pain being shot down San Marcos for an additional everyday or even just weekly.

Another reason and endured the seemingly neverI stuck around this campus, and ending search for career. even now I find myself "suppleassociate degree from Palomar College, is because I can not stand the thought of having to repay the near $40,000 in student loans I have accumulated in my career at Cal State San Marcos. 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!

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.

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." Since the hurricane hit thè Gulf Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Coast, refugees need food, water and shelter, and Cougars can help.

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. He later transferred to UC Davis, where he majored. in international relations with a minor in Spanish.

After getting his teaching credential, he taught bilingual third grade classes in San Jose.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer The New, New Library. To the uninitiated or unobservant student, this may come as a shock: The library is new. Again. 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.

The desk, to the right of the main doors of the third (Starbucks) floor, is hard to miss, but even closer to this entrance is something maybe too close under an inkless nose to be noticed.

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. But when it's viewed as half empty, it seems there is less to knock over and spill on your crotch. Nihilism protects you from disappointment. Idealism sets you up for it.

Keep in touch, j because a student newspaper without student readership is just a class. E ditorial f rom the e ditor-in-chief The past week has proven tougher than the first. 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.

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. So, if we all know what happened the harder question to answer is, why? Could it be a wide range of changes that have occurred in the economy and movie industry in the past year?

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.

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.

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?

"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" holds true to the good old fashion scary movie theme.

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.

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.

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).

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 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. For more information on Pepper's tour dates and other information hit up their official website at: www.pepperlive.com. Aloha!

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.

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.

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. Sitting in the enormous lecture hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate caught my eye. 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.

Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try these thrifty ideas. Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let sit, and then wash in warm water.

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."

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.

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.

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 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. Success is receiving a phone call on the eve of a council swearing in ceremony from an autistic student you once worked with telling you he wanted to come but had to work." were ini?, p-tounf thepersonf hafe the rmoshaßday•" I; „.„^ Freshman ÜII ^ n m f n a f J ustice M äjor~ * I e clothes," ^ ss^Mpiiy^ Freshman N atasha Howard "YdI'cpn'f want to khoWj 1®®IÌ1I1I1II . ! : Junior -v l i f e S c i e n c e M ajor ; m Bob Difldoll M arshea Wilson What is t he law?

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.

A big problem for every tutoring serwhereas here the majority are first-year." Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's "housed". 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.

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.

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.

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.

Nine women auditioned for the intermediate/advanced dance team displaying technique, style and passion for the sport. "We're looking for experience and knowledge of jazz, hiphop, and lyrical dance moves. But most importantly, someone we can work with; someone who can progress," said Aliesha Waleneikowski, current member of Lady Cougars who was teaching the dance routine to the prospective members. "It will be a basic routine to show style and technique," Waleneikowski noted. The routine had an emphasis on jazz and prospective dancers needed to quickly pick up on the moves.

Having the Masquerade Ball at a different venue means a different atmosphere. In the past, the balls have had a high school vibe to them. This time ASI is trying to liven things up by creating a more club-like atmosphere to the evening's festivities. Tables will be cleared to create a dance floor in the restaurant with a live DJ available for requests to keep people dancing all night long. A second dance floor will also be held on the patio. Appetizers and refreshments will be provided. Alcoholic drinks will be available through a cash bar and wristbands will be given to those over 21 years of age. Security will be at the event checking IDs and tickets at the door. Tickets are free to CSUSM students and $15 for pre-paid guests or $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the ASI ticket window in Commons 207. Limited parking is available in the Hard Rock Café underground parking garage for $2 a car, located on the south end of the restaurant. There is also ample street parking near the Hard Rock Café. The hotel across the street from La Jolla Hard Rock Café, Inn by the Sea, has special room rates available to CSUSM students.

"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 want to have my own business in sports." An avid sports fan, Deondra played basketball for her previous college. Speaker enlightens students about free education C LASSIFIEDS ; BY PATRICK B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. As for now though, the army of squirrels that often line the walkway from the dirt lot in the late afternoon, like many creatures on the fringes of CSUSM, are happy to stay right where they are.

"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."

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.

Twin Oaks VaHev Rd. 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!

I went to Albertson's with the sole intention of using their "Coinstar'V Then I saw the pumpkin people. 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.

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.

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.

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.

He argued that lower-priced text books could be available by requiring professors to submit book requests earlier, reducing rush fees and back-orders, and DeGuzman noted that many state governments do not place sales tax on student books, an initiative that would save students some money if California would ever consider such a policy.

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. "They also constitute serious breaches of student or employee conduct as well,'' the website states, and encourages anyone who has been a victim of sexual' assault, including date or acquaintance rape, to report the incident to the Cal State San Marcos Police, or any off campus police.

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.

The don't care what you do in your stereotype in men's sports is that BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride there is no way a great male athlete can be gay. It's funny how that works out. Female athletes in the past have already done what Swoopes has done, so for those of you who want to make a big deal about this, it really isn't. 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. Truman wanted to Smith (Clifton Collins Jr.) and write a column on the small Dick Hickock (Mark Pellegrino) town murders. 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.

LONG Pride Staff Writer BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Active duty Marines attending Cal State San Marcos will host this year's Veteran's Day celebrations on Friday, Nov. 11. The ceremony, commemorating veterans of all of the armed forces, will be held next to the Kellogg Library main entrance, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The ceremony will be a joint celebration for Veterans Day and the 230th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, which is on Nov. 10. The ceremony will consist of a color guard, a reading from a letter from the Marine Corps Commandant and a cake cutting ceremony. The cake cutting ceremony will be an opportunity where a piece of cake is presented to the youngest Marine on campus, Cpl. Jorge Caro, and the oldest Marine on campus, Joe The University Police Department received two reports of sexual battery in October. 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. Many people wonder why the board members are resorting to taking money from the students.

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.

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.

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.

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.

San Marcos, a 92078 �THE PRIDE A ndrew A &E Kenny plays at M-Theory Records BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Andrew Kenny, the lead singer of The American Analog Set, made a solo performance in a dark corner of M-Theory Records, a North Park record shop. 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.!

"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. Some aspects from the novel may have been changed for the reputation and consent of the actual people involved, exaggerated sequences, dramatic effect, logistical issues, etc. This is a movie, not a documentary. Whether it's based on fiction or non-fiction, director Sam Mendes creates a powerful film that is supported by Oscar worthy performances. OOHRAH. 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.

"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.

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."

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.

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. Then the Dolphins come to CSUSM Woméií*s and :| ¡I Men's Golf Team Results The g o l ft ^ m â o m S t a t e$ & & M a r e o s mé&é i Cal IndividualCougar nIIth p l a c e d t i b e C a l F o î yf & v i t & t i o t i s J , , Nov, 2005^ of 669 &t e a m score (329-340).Fourteen competed IMs teams m àie éfil&yœé, par Cypfus San with Ridge Obispa Golf Course 73in T2?

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.

Rancho Santa Fe H San Marcos has the better case because I have heaps of homework. One ought not to fret though, for I do have a few opinions on this matter. 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.

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. The executive salary increase for campus presidents and system executives has the objective of maintaining a competitive market position.

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. For more information please see the California Faculty website at http:// www.calfac.org. executive friends must b e v ery happy today. 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. Because the incidents of last month are identified as sexual battery cases, and sexual battery is a misdemeanor, the process for prosecution requires that the University Police Department identify all elements of the incident, but does not necessarily mean that arrests must be made 887 W.

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. She is still with us, but in Michigan, where the wind blows cold, and the snow catches the shim- TWIN OAKS CLEANERS I 30 off * Across the street in the I Campus Marketplace • fDRY r CLEANING {¡pi i W o r k f o r T h è P ride* | ThePriqte feCSUSM's only s t u d e n t run, B SERVICE | Maximum Coupon Value up to $10 Coupon must be presented with incoming order and pre-paid.

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.

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.

In comparing CSUSM's national performance to their regional performance, the women held strong at their 2nd place finish against the teams in their own region. The men slipped a little moving from their 3rd place finish at regionals to 4th place after being beat by Westmont College.

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.

Like I said, everybody has their own biases when it than it used to. Personally I don't see it. I mean how comes to politics; so maybe I'm right biased is The Pride?

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.

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. Dr. Lance Newman, associate professor, Literature and Writing Studies at Cal State San Marcos, has helped arrange, "with a citywide coalition that includes many organizations and individuals," protests and vigils against the execution. 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." Newman cites "African Americans are 12 percent of the U.S. population, but are 43 percent Women's Studies 300L welcomes back the classic rendition of Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues.

The Vagina Fest kicks off at 7:00 p.m. each night an hour before the show. "We will be raffling prizes, having live music, and featuring different vendors with unique gifts and souvenirs," mentioned Julie Bennington, a student and performer in the Vagina Monologues. Attendees may want to have money on hand for refreshments, souvenirs, must-have t-shirts and a rare holiday commodity premiering at the event, and Vagina tree ornaments made by students in the class.

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. Although Blacks constitute 50 percent of all murder victims, 83 percent of the victims in death penalty cases are white." More statistics can b e found at nodeathpenalty.org; Gov.

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.

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. Gas, mileage, and wear and tear (on me and my car!) - $1,000.

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.

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 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.

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.

"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." Membership to the fitness center is covered in the University Student Union fee of $50, .which is included with CSUSM mandatory student fees.

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? Where did you attend, what was it like academically/ socially? I went to Temecula Valley High School, and it was the worst time of my life. I was surrounded by a bunch of immature idiots who were too busy trying to look local eateries and other San Marcos community establish- Tile Pride Cal State San Marcos , 333 N Twin Oaks Valley Road San Marcos, CA 92096-0001 Plme: (760)750^099 Fax: (760) 750-3345 MARKSTEIN, from page 1 sity first opened it was low-end prison industry.

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. What made CSUSM? you choose Quite honestly, the cost and the fact that it was close to home and I could easily drive there. If not, do you think it's something educators should address? 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.

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. I trashed ASI for serving our needs with a sex-worker advocate, questioned those categorically opposed to fee increases, and plowed over the idea of a border fence. This year, I'm going to play nicely. Scratch that plan. Jason to base, over: There are still Charlies in the trees.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. To learn more about Honey Pale Ale and the Capistrano Brewing Co., visit their website at www.capistranobrewingco.com. 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.

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.

CHAMPIONSfrompage 1 i r-oSt^ffill these chambers include Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos, Temecula, and Vista. 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. "The barricade is strictly for safety, to prevent accidents for vehicle-vehicle collisions and vehicle-pedestrian incidents," said Sergeant Dan Koehler. "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. "He will argue that Americans' fondness for bor- received one complaint regarding how the barricade is too big and awkward. However, Miller reported that there have rowing, which is not only a personal, but also a national issue for us, is not new and that it is historically rooted in a particular set of economic circumstances faced by Americans." "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.

Other options to raise awareness include participation in the Global Night Commute, a national event that will be held on April 29. 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.

San Marcos (M Via Vera Out across from the Restaurant Rov 752-1826 mit our new website wwwÁamtthmümú^com 3 �On Campus: Soul Food Luncheon BY JASON ROBBINS Pride Staff Writer Small crowds begin to spill into The Clark Field House. 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.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers To many bitter singles, and most men, Valentine's Day is just one more holiday invented to get people to spend money. 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.

Another attendant, Chris Wilson, a graduate of USD, had heard about the event through friends and left saying, "his poetry wasn't done to impress, it was done to be real, and that was impressive." 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.

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.

"As President and CEO ofAssociated Students Incorporated, I oversee a budget of over $1.4 million," stated Marc DeGuzman in his speech at President Haynes' second Annual Community Report. Students are the benefactors of ASI, but not a lot of knowledge is offered about ASI's budget or use of its financial resources. After further investigation, ASI's budget is unveiled.

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. June 30 is the end of the fiscal academic year, and all departments are putting forward their proposals this Spring to prepare for the upcoming fiscal year.

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.

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.

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.

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. Some of the events include the MS walk, the Nami walk, volunteering for North County Life Line, and team building exercises at a ropes course in Big Bear. 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. One major aspect of borrowing that has changed in more recent transactions is the rise of internet use and therefore decline in See DEBT, page 7 "n r ìi Bn < n wmfif nrnfjfi KTnn nifì n nn n nT^^^^^^^^fn ËËP^S » n M n n Mi ft nin ì f n f ln n frif^^^^^^f^ BES^r ^ iM' iì f i ifì li lnH f i n o iffi t H^ t t n ^n n i l^ T ï t ^^ ll f ^ Unite to Win! Rally for affordable quality education and fair contractsl In 2003 and 2004, California cut half a billion dollars in state funding for the CSU. 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.

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. Note that this is a ticketed Beer of the week: Moretti's L a Ross Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride event for 21 and over only. Also, no still or video cameras will be allowed in the event. 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.

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.

With her fist in the air, Slam Poet Bridget Gray closed the night with a performance dedicated to her gender. This was Gray's fourth year performing at Cal State San Marcos, now before a full audience, half familiar with her work, half just getting ready to meet her. The night began with a small introduction, where Gray emphasized her last name, taken from her mother's second husband and kept not merely for her half mons presents Def Jam Poetry," but most black, half white heritage, but to inspire of her pieces required greater interactions thought about mixed opposites.

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.

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.

To top It all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the Trustees want to raise them a gain-10% per year for the next four years. The C SU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline! Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the C SU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and job security.

And they want to gut the F ERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the courses students need. l itiTIS M R OFF! THAT'S RIGHT, FREE.

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.

XV NO. 9 irs one fight' for CSII Faculty and Students Ulf BY RACHELL REYES Pride Staff Writer Facti! '/Staff Cal State San Marcos faculty, staff and students rallied for fair contracts and affordable education on Thursday, March 9, in front of the Kellogg Library. "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. With the student parking fees scheduled to rise steadily over the next few years, the hope is to build up a reserve of at least $4 million. According to Belinda Garcia, assistant director of Parking Services, the campus will have an easier time asking for a grant for CENTER, from page 1 A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

The new Center for Children and Families site is adjacent to the University Police Department, nestled at the northeast end of the campus property.

"It's about taking risks, it's about collaborations, and it's about moving forward together," said Peggy Kelly, the woman responsible for applying for the grant from the First Five Commission. "This center is a win for children, a win for students, and a win for the community. The Center for Children is one example of the best of what Cal State San Marcos has to offer."

But negotiations have shown little progress over salaries. "A good education depends on good faculty," said Newman.

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. The week-long festivities aimed at uniting students and promoting Cougar pride, said Kellie Klopf, vice president of communications for A SI.

BY SUMMER CONNERY Pride Staff Writer Fill 'er up! inter to win $100 Gas Card from ASI BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer SAN MARCOS 1 003 W. San Marcos A; Via Vfera Crtiraoms.ftmii the Resfofrant-- R w) 7 52-1826 visit our new website w ww.tanattheislandsxom Just by attending an ASI sponsored or co-sponsored events students have a chance to win a $100 Shell Gas Card. 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.

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.

Gurney's "The Dining Room" because it provides the opportunity for the performers to showcase something that is extremely difficult to do, and that is to play multiple characters. This is a very difficult task that requires extreme talent, according to Rodda. "The most I've ever played was three characters in a play, but never eight! This has been the most challenging aspect," said Wenk-Wolff.

Also be sure to check out those Boston boys who opt to sing it load and sing it proud, the Dropkick Murphys, and the self-proclaimed Irish F hybrid from Chicago, The Tossers, who have accomplished ten years of playing their blend of heated Irish folk tunes.

How To... Celobrate St. Patrick's Day BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer St. Patrick's Day is Friday, the one day everyone is Irish and a great day to party. In Ireland, public houses (otherwise known as pubs for short) are a huge part of social life and act not only as bars, but meeting places, social clubs, post offices and grocery stores, according to Irelandseye. com.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

"If you nominate someone, he or she will be recognized. No one is better than the other. There is no top nominee," said Lund.

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.

On a larger scale, that is the problem we are facing today." William Griffith (I) Military Occupation in Iraq "You cannot accomplish a mission if you don't know what it is.

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.

He was rolling a cigarette, standing in the mud at a designated smoking area outside Parking and Transportation Services, inches awayfromthe traffic entering parking lot H. 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. All policies and forms are available online at http://www.csusm.edu/rms/smoking_policy.htm. 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.

San Marcos 752-1826 �THE PRIDE SPORTS Tuesday, April 4, 2006 Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride Trying to pick a World Series champion in March is like trying to pick out what isn't a lie from a Presidential candidate in April. 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. Ironically, I've earned straight A's when I've had the most on my plate, primarily by staying motivated.

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. A + S UBS O UMQA W parts. Your list could be; pick topic, research, brainstorm, rough draft, edit draft, second draft, edit second draft, and final draft. Also make everything you need to do a goal. 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. Stay strong and don't change the rules.

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.

Added to the hops is a nice citrus flavor and scent that cleanly finish this beer, leaving connoisseurs of good beer with smiles upon their faces. First established in the late 1970s in Chico, Sierra Nevada B rewing has grown from a small backyard operation to a nationally plenty of light beers out there that prove to be exceptional in their own known b rewing company, according to its w ebsite.

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.

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.

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 movement has cost a lot of sacrifice, but all changes come, from the bottom. Tonight, we are making history, and you are making history by being here."

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.

The Women's Center has posted their new hours of Monday 10-1; Tuesday 10-2 and 3-5; Wednesday 10-5; Thursday 11-2 and 3-5, and Friday 1-3. "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.

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. The Costa Mediterranea was an Italian ship I had never heard of, but being desperate to salvage our honeymoon, we sent an e-mail to Vacationstogo.com to book the cruise. Phew!

The next port we arrived at was Tortola, where we took a quoise water, so clear you didn't even need goggles to see the bottom. The shopping there was more expensive than St. Maarten, but Pusser's Rum is a must buy! Our last port, the Bahamas island of Nassau, was my favorite. 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. Before we knew it, we were leaving the ship and on the plane ride home. The Caribbean is a must see and a cruise is the best value.

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.

Though the idea of a mockumentary is entertaining and shows like "Curb your Enthusiasm" have had great suc- " Making f un of myself is like therapy.

Her famous father Aaron Spelling is portrayed as j ust a voice i'p tjie show, though not his own. The material for the show is gathered f rom old, ugly and u ntrue tabloid stories about Tori and it's used to make a scripted, comedic, reality series. This is the first show of this t ype for talents go beyond her last name. There are doubts that this show will be as successful as "Curb your Enthusiasm," in fact, some critics have lumped Spelling's show with Lisa Kudrow's brief attempt at a mock reality show. Never heard of it? That's because it only lasted a couple episodes. The question remains, will Spelling's show share the same fate as that of Kudrow's? According to an article by Tenley Woodman f rom Boston H erald.Com, "The gal is on to something, but her star power isn't strong enough to f uel a long running sériés."

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.

The Cougars took their second straight title with an amazing 50.9 percent recycling rate, easily eclipsing last year's winning mark of 43.6 percent. For the past ten weeks, 93 colleges and universities from across the nation have competed in RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. CSUSM entered this year's contest as the defending champion, but with nearly twice the competition as in 2005. This year, the competition nearly doubled from 47 competitors to 93 national participators.

In an effort to emphasize the need to reduce all waste, measuring both trash and recyclables, the RecycleMania competition introduced a new modified competition renamed "Waste Minimization". 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. Cal State San Marcos came in second place in the category of Per Capita. However, CSUSM was heads and shoulders above the rest in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, collecting an astonishing 72 poundsper student,almosttripletheamount collected by Kalamazoo College which Recycle, SEE page 3 Photo courtesy of Carl Hanson, member of CSUSM's Green Team. 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. According to'Marie Thomas, the Faculty Affairs Committee chai, and Mary Elizabeth Stivers, assistant vice president for Academic Resources, a Faculty Affairs subcommittee works to put the evaluation forms together based on extensive research. The University Retention, Tenure and Promotion policy addresses the Use of the evalua- THE PRIDE agreement, "written student questionnaire evaluations shall be required for all faculty unit employees who teach.

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.

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).

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. "The Testament' displays the site operator's own rants and raves about the dying world with a "Your Prayer" thing about your stats.

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.

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. "At CSUSM, we more often then not have to deal with being the only black student, or one of two, in class," said Kayonni Williams. This year, 72 African American students will be graduating. "We are growing in numbers, this is twice the number of last year," said Billings.

Our goal is to provoke thought and to educate other students about HR-4437."

Maria Sanchez, also an immigrant f rom Mexico, will be one of those students who will be absent on May 1.

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. "I hope the demonstration will show the nation what will happen if 11 million people are deported. It will show the solidarity of a group of people who j ust want opportunities," added Ramirez.

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. Volume XV Issue No. 13: Page 5 mispelling ofRatrena Robinson themselves n eeding it which point to the CCR BANNER page to be reading it correctly. 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. We can see what's in the media, we should be able to educate ourselves about having safe sex . .. about the truth, medically accurate facts." 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." There is much more to learn from Costales, Soriano and VOX as a whole, and those interested can contact aps8179@ hotmail.com or thechad5150 @hotmail.com.

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.

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.

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. "Through working together and partnering together," said Guseman, "We can accomplish many great things." rnoto oy cnristine vaugnan / i ne r riae Interview with Roy lee ASI President Elect BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students, Inc. (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.

"What I see happening with this bill is the intent to enforce slavery once again, but upon a different people."

Lee, a current business and marketing major at Cal State San Marcos, could not comment on next year's ASI board but did say that he hopes to deliver a strong University Hour. "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." Tuesday, May 2, 2006 (MvApl "Was Cai State San Marcos yourfirstcollege choice and are you proud that you go here?" "This was actually my only choice because of my parents. They pretty much decided everything for me. I am proud, I guess, it's better than I thought."

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.

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."

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Roommates Andrew Weltzien and Sean Richards were asked what they thought of the new DORMS, SEE page 3 Beer of the Week See A & E PAGE 8 �From RECYCLE page 1 TheChPride f p t j a m A i STAFF , EDITOR IN CHIEF I DjmnGMiik BUSINESS MANACER , JASON EHCAEO * S ECTION B BITÖK& \ D A V I D B AUER , ÎSIAXASHA.HECIŒNDOEN SOPHIA BRINK ADVISOR X JOAN ANDERSON & .of editor, published m The t ^pment the o pMoas arttor* a isdA. o f l ite Pride, rf ftt^iaiiaiiii CSUSM had to duke it out with Point Loma Nazarene University and Kalamazoo College. 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.

After doing the math, 1 found out that if they keep going with this $90 raise every 3 months, my grandchildren if they attend Cal State San Marcos in 2048 will pay $1508 for parking, which is basically what you pay for tuition in 2006! Something needs to take charge against this rate hike against students. We all have numerous expenses not including tuition and books. As students we should take action against these unfair prices and have them reduced to what they were close to in 2003» Lets make Cal State San Marcos an affordable place to park. to him. I get the feeling that the only people we are going to see at social events during this hour are going to be the same people that normally attend.

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 NATASHA HECKENDORN Pride Staff Writer U NIVERSITY A T N IGHT Summer nights on campus are soon to be over, here's one last good look at Craven Hall at sunset. 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.

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.

Also, with the opening of lot F a new traffic situation has been presented at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road. This is something that students and faculty are not accustomed to and presents a very serious situa- tion, showing the importance that everyone going through the intersection pay full attention. "I want to remind everybody to be very cautious going through this intersection, including pedestrians and drivers. This intersection can be dangerous if people are not paying attention," says CSUSM Lt. Doug Miller.

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.

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. Freshman Troy Skoma's attempted shot was blocked by Pomona's goalie in the 86th minute.

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.

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.

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.

Originally performed at Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park in 1097, Marcos Martinez has taken Holy Dirt across the United States and even overseas to Holland arid Denmark where it has received glowing reviews. Both comic and touching, it would be worth keeping an eye out for when Holy Dirt will next be performed at a local venue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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." Promoting the edification of his peers, Lewis adds, "I [would] definitely recommend it to other students." Next time you're struggling with your Spanish, consider going to the Language Learning Center/Language Lab for all of you foreign language needs, or just for a quiet place to study. The LLC is located in University Hall Rooms 240 and 260, and is open Mon through Thu 9:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., Fri 9:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., and closed Sat & Sun.

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!!!

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.

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. Image courtesy of Warner Brothers �Drink of the Week fall ris p BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer As most apple-lovers well know, apple season blossoms in late September and continues well into November. 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. With a ratio of 15 males to every female, the air was thick with testosterone and heavy with aggressive fury, As eager fans compared notes on metal band trivia, the members of DragonForce could be heard in the dungeon below warming up their fiery vocals, unloading a heavy round of progressive metal thundAs the clock struck 7 p.m., the doors to the dark venue opened, and the mob of DragonForce fanatics charged the floor, Within minutes, hundreds of sweaty fans pounded theirfistsin the air and crowded the general admission floor, causing the overflow of fans to pour into the outlying rooms and stairwells. Hailing from London, DragonForce unleashes a sonic plague of merciless shred and callous metal. Signed to Road Runner Records, the six-piece band released their third album, "Inhuman Rampage," earlier this year. All That Remains, opener for DragonForce, packed up their equipment after a .solid set, clearing the way for the brutal mutiny that would soon blast House of Blues to its core. 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.

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."

Pandora.com evolved from The Music Genome Project that about what each individual song sounds like. Over the past six years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world," To get started, simply gp to www.pandora.com, and type in the name of an artist or song of interest, then sit back and let Pandora work its magic, Pandora first offers a song from the artist or the song typed in.

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.

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 do your best to wash her sores as often as you can, but you have no clean water and wiping her eyes only makes her cry more, and the pus infecting her eyes just comes right back after you wipe them. Poor Myriam; you're not sure how much longer she will be able to survive, and the last two years have taken a toll on your body as well. Weak from starvation and taking care of Myriam, you have Continued on Next Page �THROUGH E XPERIENCE PHOTOS BY A MANDA ANDREEN / the pride Continued from Previous Page j ust about given up, until one day you meet a new woman. 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. The clerk asks me i T Photographyr by have it or not If your sister A manda A ndreen apc a n c ein onto0U yriam, there is assed M uC / TU / ine P 'rip rriue ^ y° W have gotten y 0U wiped her open sores.

I place my hand on the windowsill, and he presses the stamp into my flesh. He l ifts it up for me to see the results^ Negative. I can't believe it. 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. There are dozens of organizations out there trying to save Africa and all it takes is one moment of your life to dedicate yourself and your heart to such others who have just a cause.

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. Starting out as a child actor in TV commercials, Jason Priestly has been involved in at least 36 film and TV projects, including a roc- Photo by Mary Foley / The Pride kumentary he directed featuring The Barenaked Ladies, the popular 90s prime-time soap "Beverly Hills, 90210," and the indie film "Die Mommie Die!" which won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

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.

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.

In my time on this campus I have met some very knowledgeable people when it comes to sports. As much as I may think I know, these guys have taught me something new at one point or another. You may remember some of these names if you read "Jock Talk" on a regular basis, but I finally found a way to introduce you to some of the other people on this campus who are involved in the sports world. -Josh Sandoval Mavericks over Suns (Defense plus Dirk equals Domination) Nets over Bulls (Kidd, Carter, Jefferson plus great draft) Nets over Mavericks (Nets make up-tempo popular again) Rockets (Yao I McGrady experiment still doesn't work) Hornets (Finish above.500 and make playoffs) Kobe Bryant (Lakers) (Should've got it last season) Lawrence Frank (Nets) (Title sinks this award) Adam Morrison (Bobcats) (Plenty of minutes in Charlotte) Suns over Clippers (Stoudemire gets them over hump) Pistons over Bulls (Team chemistry pays off) Suns over Pistons (Suns outshine Pistons) Heat (Complacent Shaq wont hold up) Rockets (Two words: Bonzi Wells) Tracy McGrady (Rockets) (Bounces "back" from injuries) Scott Skiles (Bulls) (They'll win 55 plus) R andy F oye (Timberwolves) (Dwayne W adeesque player) S uns over R ockets (Stoudemire's B ack!)

Fernando Brown Fernando Brown's name.is reo&gmzable from the sports articles that appear in this paper. Before Fernando joined the newspaper I could count on one hand the number of articles written about CSUSM athletics. Paul Baimbridge Paul Baimbridge is a name you might recognize from the article I wrote about the Padres' ninth inning collapse against the Dodgers. You will get to know his name even more next semester, since he will be the baseball and Softball beat writer next semester. Mike Millburn Mike Millburn is someone you may know if you listen to "XX Sports Radio" on 1090AM or watch "The Prep Pigskin Report" on KUSI. 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. Kyle Trembley Kyle Trembley is a well of information regarding campus athletics. He is the guy who makes Fernando and I look smart in articles about campus sports, because if we have a question we go to Kyle.

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.

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.

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.

Boxing matches have had the "rigged" cloud looming over their "honest" heads for many years. 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.

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.

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.

Opening the doors to a fun and secure environment, students and others in attendance listened to Cathy Nguyen from the Women's Center, as well as an informed doctor and nurse practitioner about the safest and most effective ways to self-exam for breast or testicular cancerous growths. All those conducting the workshop strongly emphasized how important it is to self-exam oneself on a monthly basis.

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."

Each UABC student will have the opportunity to select and attend a lecture after having chosen from an array of courses currently in session. 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. "The new space will be significantly larger than the current space in Craven Hall 4110," Montevirgen adds. Yesterday during University Hour, LGBTA presented the "What is an Ally?" workshop which aimed to inform students of what an "ally" is and what an "ally" is not. 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." "Joining the LGBTA is easy," Franklin says. "Coming to a meeting or joining our list are the first steps. How involved with LGBTA [one wants to get] is totally dependent on that individual."

However, in sifting through the m&ss of information on CSUSM's website, prospective graduate students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education. This upper echelon of education is only available to those who have completed a four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic standing with the last university they attended. Some programs require GRE scores. The GRE could be considered the SAT for graduating college students, if you will. The requirements are in the student's best interest, ensuring that they are prepared for the rigors of a graduate program. Students who are admitted to CSUSM's graduate program would be placed in one of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students are those who have met all requirements. A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted.

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. Letter to the Editor: Minimum W age Jf JÜ If W JÉmF ä il W ? » • wÊm m JÜ 3 Ä ITT - ' il* ^ Write the at pride@csusm.edu ^ÊSÊÊBÊmÈÊSÎm ¡ 8 Î \ ¡URN i SÄii ¡Social and economical problems, unfair conditions for students, stair related injuries o n [campus» problems with l etters Most college students have experienced the indignity of minimum wage jobs as well as the barren results they produce. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

That's how much I love my family.. .and cranberry sauce." 4 - "I guess I misheard the salesclerk at 'Radio Shack'. 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.

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. Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The election of a Democratic majority prompted the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Editors of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine times called for this resignation in a November 4th editorial. This editorial stated that "Donald Rumsfeld m ust go. ..Rutiisfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large... [Rumsfeld's] strategy," says the Army times, "has failed, and his ability to lead is compro- mised. 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.

Some people accuse websites of labeling themselves 2.0 to generate hype and in return produce more money. Others are also accused of labeling their website 2.0 in hopes of creating, enough capital to induce a buyout from a larger company. The combination of the new era of websites and highly lucrative opportunities have led some economists to label this situation the new bubble, or Bubble 2.0, the second boom in the internet world. They are referring to the dot com boom and bust of the late nineties. Despite the controversies, Web 2.0 remains the official unofficial term for the new era of websites.

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.

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."

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.

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. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride A SI board members discuss Prominence Pilot Project. got different pictures." 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.

To help simplify the festivities, three Thanksgiving themed websites have been chosen with information to help Cougars make the holiday more fun and less of a hassle. The content of the three websites should provide enough information and entertainment to get CSUSM Students through their Thanksgiving breaks relatively headache free. Celebrate-thanksgiving.com is one of the "Celebrate Sites." "Celebrate Sites" is a family of websites owned and operated by Better Homes and Gardens. The site features six categories that include; recipes, turkey, entertaining, menus, pictures, and decorating. The best information this website offers is a complete user's guide on how to creatively throw a magnificent Thanksgiving party. From punch recipes to table top decorating ideas the website leaves no detail, no matter how small, unmentioned. Furthermore, the website includes a list of common Thanksgiving oriented questions with clear and concise answers, from how to deal with bickering siblings to when to order a fresh turkey. This website is definitely beneficial to the avid Thanksgiving host. Holidays.net/thanksgiving/ is one of the many sub-pages of the holidays.net web- site which gives individual pages to each of the major American holidays. The website features 13 categories such as The Story of Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Turkey, Thanksgiving Blog, Thanksgiving Crafts, Holiday Home Decorations, Thanksgiving Greeting Cards, and Holiday Music. This website helps get Cougars into the Turkey Day spirit by providing amusing Thanksgiving entertainment such as songs and computer screensavers. While most of the content would be best suited for children, there are also some features of the website that are useful to and fun for people of all ages. There are also printable images and free email cards to send to help spread holiday cheer. The final website is for those that want to know more about where Thanksgiving traditions came from.

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.

Rothenberg marked the grand finale for readings this semester, but three more guest readings are booked for next semester. After winter break, The Community and World Literary Series Reading will host Laura Elrick and Rodrigo Toscano on Thursday, March 8. "I think it's been great to see that there are students returning to hear more of these readings, as well as new students coming out each time. The process of everyone getting to know each other is still just beginning, but I think we've made excellent steps towards that this semester," said Wallace.

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.

Established in 1988 by the World Health Organization, World AIDS Day serves to acknowledge the devastating impact of AIDS around the world.

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 ..

Habitat for Humanity states seven reasons why students should participate in the Collegiate Challenge. 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. The application can be found on the ASI website and must be completed by January 15, 200Z Applications can be emailed to dthomas@csusm.edu or dropped o ff at ASI at Commons 207. A $50 deposit must b e given to ASI by January 29,2007. A remaining balance of $200 must be given to ASI by March 9, 2007.

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.

The first time I saw The Pride Many times, when I've sugnewspaper was my second semes- gested that someone write an artiter at CSU San Marcos. 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. This that are enrolled in the journalism article will be my last one though; class for the newspaper, attend this is our last issue for the semes- class every week, and write sevter and I graduate in a few weeks. eral articles every week. 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. Other celebrities in attendance that night were Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promo- Photos courtesy Aamara Ysrael tions, "Dancing With The Stars" now has a career record of 43-3contestant Mario Lopez, Filipina 2 and he should be considered the pop star Sarah Geronimo, who number one challenger to WBC sang the national anthem, and junior lightweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera (63-4). many CSUSM students.

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 .

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.

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.

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."

Display Letter from the Editor in Chief then I became the Business Manager, and now I will be assuming the roll of Managing Editor of the paper. Now enough about me and onward to The Pride. 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. The starting salary for professors at most campuses is about $46,000 when most increases total about $48,000. At campuses such as Humboldt and Domínguez Hills, Dr. Photo by Kelly Corrigan A Cut-out of Chancellor Reed was used to help bring attention to Monday's Informational Picketing in front of Kellogg Library.

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.

Some students go semesters or even years not knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no more will students see the FASFA as a challenging process. 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.

For more detailed information students can look up additional information at the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office. 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."

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.

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.

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.

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 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. William Shakespeare himself might have done research at this website, had the resource been available to him.

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.

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.

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. Last fall, Education Librarian Toni Olivas was struck by a van as she attempted to walk through a crosswalk. Ironically, a committee holding a discussion on the necessity of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident. 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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Once he got his breaking ball working, Jake began getting ahead of Cougar hitters andfinishingthem off with the off-speed stuff. 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. The Hawks would- tack on another run in the seventh arid then be shut down by pitchers Travis Zabel and Lance McCormick in the final two innings. Quality relief work by Hawks pitchers Garrett Russell and Chris Priesendorfer kept the game at 15-4 going into the ninth, but the Cougars wouldn't gp quietly. Freshman lefty Matt Jenkins drilled a three-run homer to right center before the Cougars bowed out, making the final score 15-7. Though the scoreboard didn't favor the Cougars, the fans certainly did. 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.

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. The article was well researched and presented very admirably. Probably the most important article to grace the pages of The Pride since I have started coming here.

Midori, the premier bright green melon liqueur, was first launched in the United States in 1978 at Studio 54. Created by Suntory, Midori was the glue to the hit drink called "The Universe," which is comprised of Midori, vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice and pistachio flavored liqueur. 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. So, the next time you're at the bar, or getting your groove on at a club and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for you.

The film includes big-time actors such as Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta, R popular actors such as Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, and Jeremy Piven, and even leaves room for a rapper, Common, and a singer, Alicia Keys, in their acting debuts. Aside from the impressive cast, the heart of the film revolves around Buddy "Aces" Israel (Piven), a modern day version of what Frank Sinatra might have been if he had half the talent, twice the sleaziness, and a mind constantly fueled by cocaine and the prospect of power. What the two do have in common is their association with the Mafia.

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.

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."

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. Honoring fellow influential African Americans such as: W.E.B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Dred Scott, Booker T.

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.

Signs displayed presented large, graphic images of a bor^ tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion provided by the Survivors organization.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Last year however, the imperative measure to ensure the Food and Drug Administration safety and health of young girls licensed a new vaccine made by and women. 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. According to statistics on the official RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only first place in the grand champion category, but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is currently in fifth place.

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.

In a way, " Bridge t o T erabithia" is a ctually his story b ecause h is mother was i nspired t o w rite the book a fter t he death of his own best f riend when he was eight y ears old.

The movie falls short in its depiction of Jess's terrible tragedy. He has to learn to deal with the loss without losing the amazing g ifts his f riend gave him. While, the book depicts Jess's grief with heartbreaking realism, the itiovie glosses over these moments. What could have been some very powerful and moving scenes come and go in the f ilm without any real buildup or tension, almost as though David Paterson couldn't bear to relive them in a realistic way. Also, one of my favorite subplots is the tension between Jess and his father (Robert Patrick).

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." BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Warner Bros. 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.

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. In 1998, when the official mascot was chosen, The Pride / File Photo This courtyard just outside of Tukwut was not on the ballot, Cougar Central will be officially considered t oo difficult to p ronounce by then university presdedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. 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." Hunwut Turner, Rincon band member, director of the Rincon Education Center and Luiseno person, commended the e fforts, " This is a step forward to the See TUKWUT, page 2 Date to remember Thurs.

The event takes place in Fallbrook on March 17, 2007 at Grand Tradition from 6p.m. until 11p.m. Director of alumni relations Heather Manley, the Alumni Association, arid alumni volunteers sent invitations through emails, and mailed invitations to members of the Alumni Association. They also mailed postcards to about 17,000 alumni, members of the community, and CSUSM employees. The evening's festivities are open to students as well. As of February 23, 1Ï7 guests have purchased tickets. The event size is limited to 150 guests. Tickets are $50 when purchased in advance and $75 at the door; According to Manley, the Alumni Association Board of Directors chose this year as the first year for the event, because this is an appropriate time to begin a new tradition for honoring CSUSM alumni. She states, "This event marks a new tradition of excellence for our campus. We are at the point in our history, now, where it is important." The cocktail attire festivities will include a champagne reception and a prime rib dinner. Guests will dance the night away in celebration of the achievements amongst our growing CSUSM community. A committee from the Alumni Association Board of Directors chose two distinguished alumni to honor for the evening based on nominations from alumni, students, faculty, s taff, and administrators; The criteria for achieving the award are commitment to scholarship, leadership, and service, outstanding role model for students and alumni, and achievement in one's profession or career or outstanding community service. The c hosen, recipients of the Achievement Award are alumni Salvador Garcia and Jack Burke. According to media relations, Garcia earned his m aster's • and bachelor's degrees in business administration, and* is currently "The interim vice chairman for the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians." He also works with tribal communities, and Viejas Tribal Government to develop better education and programs for the b enefit of younger tribal members that are pursuing college at CSUSM. Among his many achievements, Garcia is also noted as a member of the P resident's circle, as well as a member of the Native American Advisory Council. Award recipient, Jack Burke earned his bachelor degree in political science and formerly served on the A lumni Association Board of Directors as director of legislative a ffairs. Burke also served as a recent member of the Washington D.C o ffice of Congressman Duncan Hunter. Alumni Director of Relations, H. Manley shares the prestigious experience of organizing, along with her colleagues, the very first Alumni Gala. She states, "Working on the fine details of t his event, [has] been a great experience, relatively smooth, and we are looking forward to March 17."

Also, if you have gotten a tattoo in the past 12 months, you can temporarily not donate." Schtite a dded, r "Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern California, donating blood is so important because only three percent of Southern California's population donates. The amount of blood actually donated is one pint. The adult body contains 10 to 12 pints. So by donating you will be someone's hero- you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help save up to three lives With jùst one donation."

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."

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.

As a student, I would like to know From SBRI, page 1 Sometimes, the SBRI will publish a report for their clients. 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." Risley believed most of the high school stu- if she is involved in things like campus safety and being more available to the concerns of students." Philip Klinger, a graduating senior and Communication major said, "President Haynes has been an excellent leader and mentor to the students of San Marcos State University. 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. The Chancellor's office will be accepting lettersfromCSUSM students until Thursday, March 15. dents' learning took place in the interviews they conducted for research. "[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. Straightforward enough you may reason, but as Najib was both deaf and mute, things were a little .more complicated; indeed the - f i l l e d dia~, loguey combined with the car's interior Mjght bein^ frantically switched on and o ff r resulted m a n I m m m ^ f surreal situation.

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. If a player answers the Sandovalic questions correctly it gives NFL teams a better indication that a player is not a good investment more so than the Wonderlic questions.

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.

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.

One of the things that's different about law enforcement is, is that you need to have those qualities in your off duty life as well as your on duty life. 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. 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.

A nd then it impacts us." Briedeau said, "Community service in general is very important because it enhances you as a person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself aside and serving others, which we tend to forget in today's society." R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause their stories are a mazing.

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. From TUKWUT, page 1 come in Luiseno. 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. Roy Lee, president of Associated Students Inc., wore a shirt that said "With the mind of a Tukwut and heartofaCougar."When addressing the audience he said, "It is a beautiful day, not just the weather, but a beautiful day to be able to reclaim ourselves as not just a Cougar, but a Tukwut." 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Though there are dozens of custom made rolls available only at Matsuo's, there are a select few of my favorite rolls that j ust melt in your mouth.

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. 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?"

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%. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger provided an additional $54.4 million for the 20062007 academic year in order to eliminate the 8% increase that was originally proposed by the Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees. For years, the CSU system of higher education has been looked to an example of quality education at an affordable price. With 23 campuses, the CSU is made up of 417,000 students and 46,000 faculty and staff members. It began in 1961 and annually, 84,000 students obtain degrees from the CSU. In 2004, Chancellor Reed cut the budget by $11 million. In order to eliminate the fee increase,* Chancellor Reed would have to eliminate salary increases for top executives and compensation packages for professors who have either retired, See F EE, page 2 QUESTION: Can you affortthe10% increase hi tuition fees the CSU has t . approved lor next year?

The program includes advanced historical studies with media and technology skills as applied to the research, presentation, and preservation of history. The original deadline for the Fall 2007 semester was March 15th. However the deadline has been extended to April 23rd. Students in the history program will be required to take courses in four categories. These categories are historiography and the philosophy of history, thematic historical topics in specific world areas, critical historical media studies, and media and technology skills as applied to historical research, writing, presentation, and teaching. Students entering the program must meet all admission requirements for the Department" of History and CSUSM requirements for graduate study. In addition, the program requires a Bachelor's degree from a university i n history or in a related field with at least four upper-division courses in history. The program mandates the completion of History 301 or an equivalent. S eeGRAD, p age2 S tudents t o s upport faculty strike BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Issues such as the increase in student fees, lack of professors and class availability are telling of the CSU's current condition. These issues shadow the future California Faculty Association strike against the CSU and now Angela Stubbs, President of CSU Students for Quality Education, is letting students know what they can do about it, in what she calls, "Our Professor's Campaign." Stubbs, a CSUSM student held a meeting for students on Thursday, March 15 in Markstein Hall. CSU Students for Quality Education is a coalition led by students on every CSU campus to promote the well being of the CSU. The meeting drew about 50 students and aimed to educate See STUDENT, page 3 �««Ml T HE (^PRIDE KA «( N i v sn m a £a wTTiit ) ifiSï ttfj! astry fiAVttì ÜMWf ' gpgj P I EA 5C UME U | RD _ D$ S 5 J D ; From FEES, page 1 or have gone on to work outside of the CSU. From October 2005 to January 2007, CSU Presidents, combined, received a total salary raise of $919,270. All CSU Presidents receive compensation that includes housing, car and salary fees. From July 2005 to July 2006, CSU Presidents, combined, received a 21% compensation increase, totaling $1,312,982. 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.

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."

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 website produce bibliographies for school also offers a one week free trial papers. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Dr. Jamie Washington will lead a discussion titled, "A Dialogue: Intersections of Organizational Priorities and Social Justice Realities." The discussion will introduce a multicultural awareness as it focuses on the issues of social justice and will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Commons 206 and lunch is included. The Lunch discussion will examine multiculturalism and will provide studérrts and faculty with s kiffi to serve a diverse student population. �From L .E.A .D., page 1 THE (^PRIDE A second session titled, " Who am I?

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. "I t hink that California is taking the right path in helping the- environment," CSUSM freshman Janell Smith said.

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." For more information on the smoking policy and a map of designated smoking areas on campus, go to http:// www.csusm.edu/rms/smoking_ policy.htm. �Secret ingredients in cosmetics: Secretly harmful? 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.

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.

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.

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."

According to her statistics, 48 percent of Latinos drop out of high school.

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.

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?

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. Price and participation may vary. ^ 2007 McDonald's p ring B roke? f ¥ pc 'MT m MltBrStenmaira, @> y r O m i'mlovin'if �The Prideinterviews BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer LUKE WILSON In "Vacancy," Wilson plays David Fox. 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.

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.

"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.

Present at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each attendee was given an orange and maroon ribbon to wear in honor of Virginia Tech victims. Beginning at noon, those present for the start of the forum honored the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy that occurred on Monday, April 16, with a few moments of silence. President Karen S. Haynes opened the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together to share our grief, our concerns of personal safety, and ask questions as we go forward. . ." President Haynes continued by saying, "I'm sure many of yoù in our campus community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it brings another dimension for you ; to this conversation. I was asked just now by the press, whether this was our first or our last step in this conversation; I'm sure that there will be many steps, public, formal, personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that we will take as a university is to contribute to the Hokies Memorial Fund that will help for counseling and other services to the victims and their families."

RecycleMania consists of a ten-week competition between campuses throughout t he nation. There are four categories of competition. These categories are largest amount of recyclables per capita, largest amount of total recyclables, least amount of trash rate. The competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their e fforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. RecycleMania began in 2001. Ohio University and Miami University were the first and only two competitors for the first competition.

Today is not any different than the rest to Marjorie Mina. As she makes her rounds through the store, she asks her clients how they are doing and if they may need any assistance. Her clients though, are not customers of Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees who have developmental disabilities. As a job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight higher functioning adults. In Mina's case, four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina makes her rounds and works one on one with her clients during their shifts. As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in 2004 as a Human Development major. In the three years that she has been working for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients are excited to have a job. "We help them be a part of the community," Mina said. "If they take a bus to work, we teach them what to do if they get lost, or what happens when there's a disaster at work." When Mina started working with her client Chris Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo was faced with a question from a customer to which he did not know the answer, he would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask another associate for help. What Mina says she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them grow." Job Coaches at CIS work with clients who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target among other employers. Two other major departments of CIS include Supportive Living and Independent Living. In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated from CSUSM as a Business Major, she was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of CSUSM, was not sure where he would live after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and I'd have a place to live." Today Willbrant assists his clients as an Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant .

Dean Manship also explained to the audience that there is a system being finalized this very moment that would allow the university to send text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation. Another main point emphasized in the forum was that of mental health care, and Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring students that there are services available at SHCS for students to take advantage of. In hopes to reach the rest of the student body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very safe campus here; that's both by perception and statistics bear that out, and we always need to keep that in mind. We want students to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or anyone who might be planning these types of things. We just want to encourage them to report those things to the police department."

Haynes, and Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from campus organizations. The central focus was to first remember and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in place and how they are being practiced and improved. In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring students and staff, the forum also hosted a guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a poignant testimony about her experience at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had impacted her and her family's life, as her younger brother currently attends Virginia Tech. After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya opened up the floor for the audience to ask questions. The first question asked addressed what plans CSUSM has in place "ft: ' ^ plans his clients' budget and assists them in finding and purchasing affordable housing. When speaking of helping clients attain jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them become more independent. So we may start out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it, we'll start fading out." Willbrant found his education at CSUSM to be extremely helpful. "The thing about San Marcos is that they have this unique major, Human Development, which is ideal, along with sociology and psychology." Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal Studies and Sociology double major with a focus in Child Development. As an Independent Living Counselor, Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor may assist clients in daily living such accessing community resources or gaining social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's all about the books. It's test after test. Here, it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back to you. I thought, I will never use this again in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to good use. You do get a chance to use some of that." Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the service recipients and they have the ability to cooperate and work well with others." Shannon Foster works as a Resource Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from CSUSM as a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She spends her days in the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes her clients to the mall for some shopping. Foster assists her clients in their work and social skills. "We learn what their dreams are then we help to accomplish their goals," Foster said. Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an internship requirement for her Sociology course. Serrin says that she's been able to help where it's needed. Since Serrin began working at Community Interface, she has gained experience with doing research for the company, working with clients and completing market audit reports among other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude about a lot of things." From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1 and San Diego State University were amongst the 201 universities in the competition. CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005 and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of 44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of trash. In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic, and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition. The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of recyclables to the number of students in a given campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category compares the amount of recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of students in a given campus. For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. A recycling culture throbs throughout CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins. "I recycle every single thing and I make sure it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be standing anywhere and turn around and find a recycling bin." "It feels good that my school has won the RecycleMania competition three times in a row. It's really cool that our school which is in southern California cares that much about the environment," said Arts and Technology Major Freshmen Jake Gossett. "Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos has won three years in a row giving back to the community has been a major priority to us," said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby. "It makes me glad to go to a school where students take the extra time to use the blue bins for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond. The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous contenders will sharpen their recycling skills. However, given the current trends, Cougars have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in the RecycleMania 2008 competition. For more information, visit: http://www.recyclemania.com/ and http://www.myspace.com/ recyclemania. From BUDGET, page 1 Acker, and Kat Schulz made up the second round. The competition was stiff, but Justin and Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds. Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each other for the championship. Grunting and growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to the championship. Students at the event also took part in signing a large red poster, among others, that students will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads, "Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech." Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the 24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going to mail the posters to Virginia Tech." Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the result." �FEATURES Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus Tuesday; April 24, 2007 THE PRIDE BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Sunday, April 22, was Earth Day. On this special day designed to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation joined in celebration of Mother Earth. While some people renewed their commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse, others raised money to f und other environmental causes. Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin that sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded the first Earth Day in 1970 after trying to bring environmental awareness to the American population since 1962. On envirolink.org, Nelson said, "Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself." America celebrates Earth Day on April 22. This day is also the birthday of Eddie Albert, a former American television star and environmental activist; it also happens to be the birthday of Julius Stirling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day (earthday.gov), the United States is much better off than it was in 1970. The air is cleaner, the loss of wetlands is being reversed, and other important environmental legislation continues to improve conditions. Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global warming is happening, and with 90 percent confidence that it is because of human interference. The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and works closely with the United Nations. Since the report, the United States Congress has been discussing new environmental legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, there are many things that people can do to help save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests saving energy by making homes more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use, purchasing "green power" for the electricity of houses, insulating homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs. The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It urges people to use WaterSense labeled products and programs. These products, " will p erform well, help save money, and encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www. e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not to let water r un while shaving or brushing teeth, to take short showers instead of baths, to scrape rather than rinse dishes before loading into dishwasher, and to only wash f ull loads of dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient plumbing fixtures, repairing leaks (one leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water every day), and watering lawns and plants during the coolest p art of the day. Another way to celebrate Earth is by using the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce, people should consider buying permanent items instead of disposables, buying products with less packaging, and only «J buying what they need. Reusing is as simple as repairing items as much as possible, using cloth napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable pens and pencils, and donating extra things to other people or charities. Recycling is the third component. Many things can be recycled—paper, plastic, bottles, cardboard, aluminum; but, other things can and should be recycled such as electronics, motor oil, printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other yard clippings. Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by recycling over 59% of all that we throw away. This season, be more environmentally conscious and make environmental resolutions that will save money and our earth. As Captain Planet always says, "The power is yours!" Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death annually in the United States and is the 2nd leading cause of death among college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). The American- Association of Suicidology states that about every 16 minutes, a person in the U.S. takes their own life, and every 39 seconds a person in the U.S. attempts to take their own life. In 2004, the most recent complete data statistics, there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439 suicides. With approximately 80 Americans taking their life each day and nearly 1,500 more Americans attempting to do so, there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately for CSUSM students, and the greater San Diego community, there is something that can be done and a way to help. As it has been on campus since the spring of 2003, CSUSM has its very own Yellow Ribbon Club, which is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life. Chris Sanchez, President of the Yellow Ribbon Club on campus, encourages students to not only become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May 2. With multiple events happen- ing on campus for the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez hopes to educate his peers about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, the Light for Life Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Cards that are available at the events and online at www.yellowribbon.org. To kick-off the approaching Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM, the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe drive aims to collect donated shoes from students for a display to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza during Yellow Ribbon Week. A fter the completion of Yellow Ribbon Week, the donated shoes will then be donated to a local charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27, and the collections areas are at the ASI Women's Center in FCB 102 and in front of Student Life and Leadership in Craven 3400. "We're going to be having what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week where we go out there and we want to encourage students to come see this video we show called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide' is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the AFSP. And what they have done is created this video that outlines a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the perspective from real life people who have either attempted to take their life, or who have had friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez. The majority of the events happening during Yellow Ribbon Week will take place on Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, during University Hour in the Library Plaza. There will also be two screenings of "The Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107 and the second at 5 p.m. in The Clarke Field House.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Paris did not earn the prestigious title of "most visited place in the world" f or nothing; it really is nothing short of spectacular. I picked the less touristy o ff season to visit, and although I did not get to personally witness the typical ' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to see the city covered in a f resh layer of snow—a real bonus in my view. It is hard to know where to begin in a city such as Paris, but I suppose a good starting point is a good hotel or hostel location. I decided to stay on the l eft bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly decorated hotel that boasted a less than five minute walk to the E iffel Tower. Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick as a priority when selecting a hotel; you < will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it really is a great way to get a feel for the local life. Needless to say, it is advisable to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite' travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of the métro and buses within a specified t ime period. D uring my stay in Paris, I did not adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I picked an area of interest and wandered around seeing what grabbed my fancy. Although I wanted to see all the usual suspects, I planned to spend a great deal of time in the local eateries and coffee shops. Navigating around the l eft bank in the gently falling snow, I visited ' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold dome. However, the luxury does not end there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array of weaponry housed in the Musée de L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I found myself exploring Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité; the old historical heart of Paris. Notre Dame is incredible with its huge domed roof enveloping the wonderful scent that all ancient buildings have: that of sweet earth and centuries of candle burning. The Cathedral façade itself is amazing, as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that line the panorama o fParis. Of course the view requires a long walk up the many flights of stairs, but it is well worth it. As I crossed over the Seine via the famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre, t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to the more familiar, Paris has many other exhibits for the discerning art lover to wander around; indeed there is j ust so much to see in the whole city. Climb the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau' Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow streets of Montmartre; here you will also find the old white church Sacré Coeur, the two remaining Moulins (windmills) of Paris and of course the nearby red light district of Pigali which contains the famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to pay about $100 to see the show! I also highly recommend a trip to the ancient Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is immensely satisfying in every regard, f rom the macabre to the enlightening; ' The City of Light' truly has something for everyone. �BY DAVID CHURCH g s p j f i g f f Pride Staff Write£ The track and field season is getting closer and closer to the end, and CSUSM track and field athletes are making their final preparations for May 24-26, NAIA National Championship.

It is unusual t o take on an opponent f or a two game set. Series are generally three games and sometimes four. The shortened series l eft the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres flew to the windy city for two days and back t o the west coast for two against the D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in a row of a ten day stint without a break. Since the Friday the 13th stomping at Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3 to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through April 20. Saturday, April 14 was another gem thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing, giving u p only one r un on three hits in seven innings. He improved h is record to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1 the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place t o play as the Padres dropped the series by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was staked to t hree r uns early and went on to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The Sunday night game was seen on ESPN and highlighted by the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame in 1962. Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs for two games seemed simple enough. The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs last year but spent huge dollars in the f ree agent market to upgrade their squad. In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10 years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched well, giving u p three r uns in five innings and keeping the Padres in it. There was not a r un scored by either team f rom the fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff Blum poked a double that scooted under Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High) glove allowing Khalil Greene to score the game winning r un. Trevor H offman closed the door on the series with his third save of the season in the bottom of the fourteenth. The travel-weary Padres came home for two against the Diamondbacks hoping t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells (Point Loma High) matched u p with last year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities early but failed to capitalize and Webb went on to set a career high by striking out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p t hree hits and a walk in seven innings. A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego. Jake Peavy took the mound in game two of the series and dominated with his arm and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in the third inning to highlight seven early Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the seventh inning to extend the lead a fter the Diamondbacks had battled back to make it a two r un game. A series in Colorado kicked off with an overpowering performance by Chris Young of the Padres. He simply mowed through the Rockies lineup allowing one r un on f our hits while fanning seven in his seven innings of work. IB Adrian Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the s eries opener. ¡ ¡¡¡il tHrV•^mmf i tv r i ri M Má i m; m m m ^ 2007 Women's Track team Phetos courtesy of CSUSM Athletics SOLARIUMS :_ -" - v - fflffl&E&m&m San «tercos W f e s t í m s t í W B h i .s b www.iTanSanDiego. mrn^^rnm^ •dahl'QfSÎ �Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Back on October 31, five scary looking guys appeared in this column. Their names were Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict what was going to happen in the 2006-2007 NBA season. Now that the NBA season has concluded, and the playoffs are underway I figured this was the time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about the post-season. The N ostradamus . award goes t o Paul for predicting the Toronto Raptors as the Most Improved Team. W hen he sent that pick to me I accused h im of being d runk. I feel safe saying that Paul is the only p erson in the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam n orth of the border is t he No. 3 seed in the E astern C onference f acing the No. 6 seeded New Jersey Nets. The Captain Obvious award goes to Mike for predicting t he New York Knicks as the Most Disappointing Team. Even though Mike was the only one of u s to predict the 33-49 season, I still have t o tease h im about the ease of that pick. The Take Back award goes to Fernando for picking the Clippers to go to the Western Conference finals. The C lip Show finishes two games back of the Golden State Warriors for the final spot in the playoffs. The Most Likely to Happen award also goes to Fernando, since he did predict the Suns to beat the Pistons in the NBA Championship. The Pistons are the No. 1 seed in the East and the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the West. The Overzealous award goes to me for picking the New Jersey Nets over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship. The Nets have a lot of talent with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the NBA this season at 67-15. The Mike and Mike award goes t o Mike for picking Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as the N BA Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers finished with the same record of 50-32 that they had the previous season, but they went i rr kJB mS ' Wh' 1 Write l lllï KMjyi ^ f rom 14 games back and the No. 4 seed to only three games back and the No. 2 seed this season. I still t hink Mike only picked Mike because they share the same first name. The Should Happen But Won't award will be split in half with one half going to Paul and one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell apart this season. Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and Kwame Brown all missed time due to injuries and Kobe still got the Lakers into the playoffs. The Joey Crawford Hater award goes t o Kyle because Kyle made a lot of his picks revolving around the Spurs. NBA referee Joey Crawford threw Duncan out of a game towards the end of the season because Duncan was laughing on the bench. Crawford then threatened D uncan to a fight. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford and r umor is that Crawford's career may b e over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in the NBA ref society are going to punish his Spurs team. Kyle had the Spurs beating the Mavericks in the Western Finals and then the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the MVP. Ifyou're keeping score at home, the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul - 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2, Mike-2. Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the Pistons in the N BA Finals with Steve Nash claiming MVP. Comments can b e sent t o m e at Sando026@csusm.edu or to the newspaper at pride@csusm.edu.

"There is no plot." With these words echoing in my mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods, but because I am usually suspicious of anything which calls itself an "anti-play or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less humorous t han depressingly misanthropic. "The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and misanthropy which, though it didn't make me laugh out loud, amused me and pro- Anthony Buonocore (left) as Mr. Martin and Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin. vided some food for thought. Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in 1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he was employed a s a teacher, translator and proofreader, and it was only at the age of 39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's experience learning English f rom a phrase book provided the inspiration for the piece. He found that dialogue within the phrase book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature. The meaning in "The Bald Soprano" derives f rom the fact that the dialogue itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases to connect the parties who are conversing, a s they talk a lot but say little. C areful consideration seemed t o have b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his p erformance t o make t his play appear applicable t o t oday's A merican society while r etaining something of the era in which it was w ritten. The result was a cross-generational amalgamation which lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of t he play. The set was spare, containing bits of f urniture that could have easily existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets showing images of President Bush and Ask Alliant About Education A t o ur S an Diego c ampus, w e offer: • TeachersCHO/CE preparation programs • E arly Completion Option: C alifornia Teaching Credential i n Nine Months • Master's in Education: Teaching, offered with the E arly Completion Option o r online • Master's in E ducation with credential in one y ear • A uditory-Oral Certificate • School and Educational Psychology ¡I S I. • Master's in Education, School Psychology Credential • Doctorate in Educational Psychology • Teaching English t o Speakers of O ther Languages ( TESOL) llllllllIIISSI, • Master's in Education, TESOL • Doctorate in T ESOL • T ESOL Graduate Certificate or CLAD Certificate • Educational Leadership • Master's in Educational Administration • Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management For m ore i nformation, o r t o a ttend an o pen h ouse call I - 8 6 6 - U - A L L I A N T o r email a d m i s s i o n s @ a l l i a n t . e d u MflHHHk Accepting Applications f o r F all 2 0 0 7 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY G r a d u a t e S chool o f E d u c a t i o n www.alliant.edu/gsoe San Francisco • Sacramento Los Angeles • Fresno • Irvine San Diego • Mexico City • Online Aliant is a private, nonprofit u n i M M California M m m W ir ' r; / opportunity employer and educator.

T he Fire Chief, however, stole the show in t erms o f costuming, donning a p air of bright yellow boxers, a yellow t ank top, and a helmet of paper-mache. Kudos t o Heather Bliss, M ary Foley, Rachel P angilinan, Terinn Rozo, and Rozue Yamada f or t heir creative c ostuming. Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of "The Bald Soprano" was divided into two - one first cast playing April 13, 14, and 20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21. Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs. M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was likable as her easily excitable husband. Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire Chief without cracking a smile. Although Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob of bringing life t o their roles. Without the spark of life in those who t ry desperately t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it did during the April 21 p erformance of "The Bald Soprano." �^ Horror BY RICHARD ESPERTI Pride Staff Writer "Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays in small town motels. The f ilm's uncharacteristic choice of actors, no ditzy and defenseless starlets which is so typical of slasher-films, makes for a truly realistic t errifying horror film.

David and Amy enter the motel to the sound of t orturous screams and cries coming f rom within the office. Hotel manager (Frank Whaley) emerges f rom the office in aviator glasses and an almost N orman Bates demeanor. I n all of h is creepiness, Whaley manages t o convince the Foxes t o stay overnight at the Pinewood Motel until m orning when the town mechanic r eturns. Bitterly, David and Amy share the h oneymooned' room, which they soon Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson in "Vacancy." discover h as a d ark secret. T he r oom's uncleanly and deteriorated 1970s look adds tension t o t he already s uspenseful character of t he motel. It i sn't long b efore David and Amy are d isturbed by a series of f rantic k nocks at t he f ront door and the door j oining t hem t o t he neighboring room.

For those w ho enjoy sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation and horror, t his is a great film. It is a non-stop hell b ound t hrill ride, which will k eep its audience in t errified anticipation f rom b eginning t o end. However, t he film lacks a t remendous amount of originality. I t's a typical thriller film. The m ain characters t ake a w rong t urn, they get bad directions, their car b reaks down and suddenly they are forced into a n ightmarish situation. Though the film lacks total originality, it does not fail t o deliver a lethal dose of suspense and terror. Yet, while t hrilling and s uspenseful, it is not the gory film it is hyped u p t o be. t one S m o k e c _ BY K ENNY K ING Pride Staff Writer San Diego brewed beers never cease to amaze me. This week I picked another local spot to check out. For any San Diegan the Stone Brewery is considered local, but for u s Cougars the Stone Brewery and World Bistro is our neighbor. Not but five minutes f rom our campus is one of the most impressive breweries I have been t o yet. The list of beers is almost endless, so you can imagine how hard it was t o choose one. But I did, and t his week's Beer of the Week is the Stone Smoked Porter. A porter-type beer is much darker then a pale ale or brew of that sort. But it is not as black as a stout beer. At the brewery the color of this beer is known as a dark mahogany. But it j ust looked dark brown to me. It is a smoked porter due to the amount of peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses. Another interesting fact, which seems to be a trend at the brewery, is that this beer among others is 100% natural. N o additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which is a fancy word for no rice or corn). I prepared myself for a very bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But it was much more subtle than the color led me to believe. My first thought was that this brew is very f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the first couple of gulps, I had a hard time distinguishing all of the flavors. But as I got about half-way done with the glass, I could continuously taste chocolate and c offee flavors and a distinct smoky flavor. Even with all that flavor there w as no bitter taste lingering on the back of my tongue. This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying. The Stone Brewery and World Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the world's finest beers but also some incredible food. I enjoyed their famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese, which was incredible. But on a college budget it looks like I will be eating o ff the dollar menu for the rest of the week. I f you happen to have a lot of extra cash and you want to t ry some interesting food you can order anything f rom mac and cheese to duck tacos. If you have not yet experienced Stone Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it especially i f consider your self a connoisseur of beer. N ot only can you stimulate your palette but you can get a tour of the facilities. Stonef brewery is located at 1999 C itracado^ Parkway, EsCoriJkj^ CA 92029.

Saturday shortly after midnight, she was driving with a male friend whose name was not released, west on the 76 highway during the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota veered into oncoming traffic and into a Early Learning Center's future questioned BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's Early Learning Center has provided help for the moms and dads on campus for nearly three years and in the fall, the Early Learning Center will move into a new facility, The Center for Children and Families. The ELC was made to fit the needs of children and their parents who are struggling to get along with college life and a family. The ELC offers a place for volunteer students to work and to become close to the children and their families. But now the bonds that have been made between the employees and children and their families might be broken. Since the Early Learning Center is moving into its new building, the current working staff has not been guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families. The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center was funded on tax revenue that came from tobacco smokers which was approved by the First 5 Commission. The Center for Children and Families is licensed to serve 190 children from infants to pre-kindergartners. The total number of families served is expected to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy development. Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of the ELC, said that the center will not be run by ASI any longer, but it will be run by the university instead. "The ELC is separate from the organizations on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of the workers are students here with the exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the running for children and families. The ELC will no longer be existing; the new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State."

By the fall of 2008, ASI hopes to complete the construction of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex and Ally Center. The center is still in its early stages, but with a recently appointed committee, ASI will examine the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses and look to other models for CSUSM's center. Former ASI President, Roy Lee said, "It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be University operated or ASI, the intent, to my knowledge has always been there. As ASI has grown, questions about the third center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center have been established, the goal for this center's construction and formation began. The ASI BOD has voted unanimously to research and strategically open the LGBTQIA Center by 2008." . ASI Arts and Sciences Representative, Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning, President of LGBTA, have been appointed as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center planning committee. "Our job is to create a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors to review and approve," Lovelace said. "This coming Friday w6 are planning to have a brainstorming session. All students are welcome.

April 25 to see expert kite fighter Abdul Kabir, display his talented kite flying. Kite fighting is the subject of this year's campus read, "The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini. Kabir explained some techniques and facts surrounding the Afghanistan sport. The point that enraptured the interest of the audience most was the kite string. The string takes Photo courtesy of Maureen Dupont over eight hours to prepare, and is all done by Abdul Kabir demonstrates the skills and techniques of Afghan kite fighting.

S., it's even a smaller percentage, so I want you to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you have." Rev. Dr. Washington asked each student to partner up with someone he or she did not know. Each student then discussed in partners, how they felt about difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr. Washington discussed the terms authenticity and honesty and expressed his hope for students to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that we can be honest, without being authentic," he said. When Rev. Dr. Washington asked the crowd what the students' hopes for the evening were, one student said, "I just hope that we don't have to all come together in order for us to open our eyes to say that we need this. Why do we have to come together? Why can't we just do this on our own? Why do we have to come together and say, 'Oh? Yeah, huh.' We should already be doing this." During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked students to examine the dynamics of his or her own existence. "What does it mean when there's a woman CEO or a woman vice president where there's never been a woman vice president and now all the people who report to her are men? What does that mean? What are the dynamics that show up when that's the difference?" Rev. Dr. Washington asked. When speaking on race, Rev. Dr. Washington said, "How many folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't want to have it? Does that need for that conversation go away? I have been saying in sessions, we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but we've not had a real conversation about it." In groups of four, students sat in chairs, knee to knee and engaged in conversation with students they had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five minutes to identify his or herself through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender, class and age. Next, each student answered questions stating what category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also had to tell their peers of a time when he or she treated others less than- because of who they were. Some students found that they could relate to each other in more than one way. Once the session finished, Rev. Dr. Washington divided the room into two sections. Students sat in rows of chairs, facing each other. Rev. Dr. Washington paced back and forth down the middle and told students that if they felt comfortable, he or she could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to him or her, but students were not allowed to speak. In the act of standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the questions asked, each student would be a representative of a particular group. With some humor, Rev. Dr. Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they see big black man. One word. Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far away.' Now I can't control any of that. But it does matter that I know that." Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said. "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." At this, each student who stood, scanned the room, and each student who sat, looked up. "If you ever feared for your safety because of your gender please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said, "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." Most of the women in the room stood, and most men sat looking up. Some questions spurred more emotional responses than others. From the experience as a whole, Freshman Bill Rhein said that he would "not take anything for granted anymore." Junior Angela Stubbs, said, "I can't understand why everyone couldn't attend and students had to R.S.V.P? You only find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels about it. People are talking about it, but they're not really talking about it." The event was co-sponsored by Advisor Academy and Student Affairs Professional Development Team and included representatives of Student Development Services, ASI and University Village. From BARRAZA, page 1 T HE^PRIDg From SPEAKER, page 1 fortune of being on a diverse campus. We have the amazing good fortune of being in a room with folks who don't look like us, who do look like us, who think like us and who don't think like us. Who come from cultures and histories and families and communities that are like ours and they're not like ours, and that's an amazing world to be in. It's the world that we're in, but often we actually don't look at each other and say, I see you, I hear you, and let's learn from each other. You all, are the future. You're my hope. You're why I do what I do. You have an amazing ability to shape the future. And to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference, and works together in a way that we actually create communities where we see and respect each other." This, Blanshan said, was the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr. Jaime Washington. Rev. Dr. Washington began the evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the change that has happened around the world has been done by folks who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in the world. No major social change movement has ever happened without your influence and your power. I want you to recognize the importance of your role as student leaders today." When Rev. Dr. Washington told students that only 16% of citizens in the United States have advanced degrees, he said, "You will go out for the community." Like most 21 year old college students, Lorena's Myspace is filled with pictures, and personal phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief. Lorena had just celebrated her 21st birthday on April 6 . Celia Martinez shared, "She managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing her own thing and being herself. She did not need to pretend to be someone else to feel that shefitin. She just did. Although she is gone, those of us who knew her and cared about her can still hear her distinctive voice, laughter in the air. It is still impossible to accept that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that we will no longer get those silly text messages from her when she thought about us. She reminded all of us...about some important lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind people of how much they mean to us because you never know when it will be the last time you get to give them a hug or tell them that you love them. We were all given the opportunity to see her one last time the week before she left us, yet none of us knew it would be the last." An account has been opened for the family of Barraza at Bank of America in Redhawk in Temecula.

She was a Xicana, and a Mechista, she chose to spend time with us to give back to the community. She was a beautiful person.

Samara White, a current senior at CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the ELC, she has created bonds with all of them. "Professors send kids here and are very pleased with what we have going on. We really teach the kids," White said. When the ELC moves, it will have a great impact on the teachers who work at the ELC because they have gained close bonds with the children. White added, "The teachers go out of their way to be here and do things for the kids. They [the directors in charge] have not asked what we need for the center. It's distressing that they ignored us in the vision for the new center. It's inexcusable. The kids are being transferred up there. The parents don't know anyone up there. How can parents trust people they don't know anything about with their kids? It's a disappointment. You'd think as a Cal State they would want people experienced, who have been here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As a student I'm disappointed with how they neglected staff here. Staff has always had open dialogue with the directors. They have never given us a meeting with them or shown up at our events." A meeting regarding the ELC and the future of its employees will take place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the ELC. From CAMPUS READ, page 1 hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the string, mold it with glass, and sand it down with sandpaper to smooth it out. When the kites are soaring in the sky they can reach up to three miles high. There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate bragging rights. Kabir explained that he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of the string, he stated, "These cuts and stitches are from this. Sometimes my hand is bleeding all over. It [the string] is sharp, but strong at the same time." The kites are made by hand with thin paper, and moist bamboo forms into the desired shape. Kabir has been participating in the sport since he was about five years old, and he now owns over 2000 kites. Professors Sherri Douglass and Pamela Strieker collaborated on the event which was in synch with the campus read and a GEL 101 class. Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement within our campus community, and in the larger community. After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for the campus read, "The Kite Runner," a story of a young kite fighter in Afghanistan with immense cultural insights. Professor Pamela Strieker responded with her reaction of the event, "I think the book discussion went well and those present learned a great deal about Afghanistan and Afghani culture and they also learned that in the end, we are all not so different from one another." A few copies of the campus read are still available. Contact either Professor Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm. edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty Center in Kellogg Library. From LGBTQIA, page 1 Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The committee will visit different centers and see how they were structured so we have an idea of what to look for and what to model it as. That's exactly how we modeled our Women's Center. We didn't start by making stuff up." Felipe said that the center could potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to hang out. "It goes with ASI's core value of diversity, bringing in all types of values, opinions, and serving 100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said. Lee said, "I see the center being an inclusive and educational venue where students, any student, may come in. In regard to programming, I think the opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San Diego community about these issues and provide any support and ser, vices." When speaking of the LBGTA club on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said, "They're a very big club on campus that's done a lot of programming with Student Life and Leadership. And with the C3 and with ASI's goals of fostering awareness and education and student life. That's what we want to with the LBGTQIA Center." As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said, "We do have a really tight budget. We have no money allocated toward the center." In order to fund the center, ASI will first look outside of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all the different funding possibilities," Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via grants and from supplemental funding wherever we can find it. But because he's so good at doing that, that's one of the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside. Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have money put into it." With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross Cultural Center, and the upcoming LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized the need for representation among an additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different clubs, whether it be the German Club, the French Club, MEChA, we have a whole list of clubs and organizations, to try to incorporate everyone into ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said. The position of the Social Justice Officer is appointed by ASI President Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved by ASI's Board of Directors. The position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer. —i UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SEROEAKT FIRST C lASS (S3PC) W AUD $ 58) 4 954598~-Wotk # 77) 722-23 l (*-Citt Timothy.W«u<J@us atec.acrmy.mil OT/PT/R NURSE CORPS ADN RNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse training available: CRNA, LTHET, C C.

The virtual tours not only allow users to zoom into any place around the world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen location. The website claims to provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web community and popular sources like National Geographic"; users are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for 3D buildings, parks, schools, hospitals, airports, shops and more," states the website. For those whom need practical local information, the website also provides driving directions and makes it easy to "layer multiple searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with others." Book marking or rather, "placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places they have visited along with customized additional information added to the "placemark." It is clear that Google Earth provides a plethora of resources to users around the globe, but perhaps more importantly, it exposes the devastation taking place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed into the search bar, the website displays a world of its own - far from any location one would "placemark" as a vacation spot. The screen shows two types of fire icons: one orange and red, the other completely red. The orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely red fire represents destroyed vil- lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many, those homes are represented by light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or "internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited to click on the multimedia icons in any other given location, these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men, women and children of Darfur. Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have been afflicted by the genocide sweeping across Sudan. Upon reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the website provides a link to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur, how to help, and "bear witness" to the achingly horrible violence that is occurring everyday. The entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it is up to users to seek the knowledge.

BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The Arthritis Foundation invites the community to par- ticipate in its? annual San Diego Arthritis Walk. To be held at Embarcadero Park North on Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to help the 46 million people with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Arthritis affects men, women, and children of every race and ethnic group and is America's leading cause of disability. Over 700,000 residents of San Diego and Imperial Counties live with arthritis, nearly 3,500 of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to honor and to help improve the lives of friends, loved ones, and community members afflicted with the debilitating condition. Funds generated by the event will be used by the Arthritis Foundation in its ongoing effort to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla- tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis," according to the foundation's website (www. arthritis.org). Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up their own personal Web page and begin raising funds using the online fundraising tools provided by the foundation. At the event, according to the 2007 San Diego Arthritis Walk homepage, participants may choose from a three-mile or one-mile walk route; write an inspirational message on the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue "hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register, but a participant must raise a minimum of $100 in order to receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt. The event schedule is as follows: May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes. May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.: Registration and t-shirt pick up . 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.: Warm up and announcements 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m.: 5K Arthritis Walk at the Embarcadero Park North May 30 @ 5 p.m.: Online donations close. Get ready for the 2008 Walk! BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer Going the extra mile: Local Arthritis Walk Image courtesy the Arthritis Foundation Getting a summer job BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Summer is fast approaching. During summer, some Cougars go back to their home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need money during the summer. One way to ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer. All Cougars should be aware of the basics when applying for a job. Despite the current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the most. When applying for a job make sure to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of interest is the local donut shop. Dressing professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie, dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars, and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks, and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel. CSUSM's Career Center website (www. csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a job involving "campaigns to stop global warming pollution and promote clean, renewable energy alternatives." Another links offers a job in painting residential and commercial for the summer/The web- site also offers aid in creating resumes and an online interview practice program with over 1,500 mock interview questions. Another website offering advice for job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www. monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews are highly important when applying for a job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow, a Monster Contributing Writer, explains, "Writing powerful thank-you letters is not just a formality. Thank-you letters are marketing tools that can have tremendous value in moving your candidacy forward and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover the Work You Were Born to Do" in his article on how tofinda job you will enjoy by answering a set of 20 questions. Career Builder (www.careerbuilder. com) also provides information on jobs and is similar to Monster. A quick search in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13 hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell phones. Like Monster, the website allows users to upload resumes quickly and free. Post Resume (www.postresume.com), similar to Career Builder and Monster, also allows the postirig of resumes at no charge. The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current career objectives. Remember that your resume speaks volumes about you, particularly if you're looking to shift gears into a new field in which you have no directly applicable experience. Be sure to note your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring to a job rather than industry-specific experience. And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. Also, be sure to highlight prior measurable/demonstrable accomplishments." The upcoming 2007 San Diego County Fair "Salute to Heroes" (www.sdfair. com) begins June 8th and ends July 4th. The event creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such job opportunities include shuttle drivers, stagehands, ticket sellers, and even security positions. The excitement and proximity of the San Diego County Fair smells like a perfect catch for any Cougar. If finding a job seems traumatic and stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once hired because I looked preppy and had no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops, a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan. So, as the few weeks left of school come to a close, begin the job search now to ensure afinanciallyburden free summer. �Halfofus.com Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer reaches those young people who need help the m ost" Halfofus.com aims to join, support and inform college students about mental health issues, while also allowing students to guide the direction of the site with their personal testimonials and feedback. The website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national resources as well. Topics addressed on the site include: depression, suicide, bipolar disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress, alcohol use and drugs. One particular service offered through the site is an anonymous screening tool for students to help them understand, cope with and take further action should they feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides students with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions through useful resources, and presenting advice on how to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to combat depression. . Featured tools on the website include: an action center to facilitate students who wish to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an "Active Minds student advocacy chapter" on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed by the Medical Center of Duke University, giving students individualized feedback; "Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus and connect students to the appropriate resources to get help," states halfofus. com. Halfofus.com is just one of the many resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health and mental health services) and ULifeline (a program run by The Jed Foundation). Launched in November of 2006, the Jed Foundation paired with mtvU to create a campaign to heighten awareness about mental health issues and their prevalence on college campuses across the nation by linking students to the right resources. In a press announcement released by mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and the number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends, Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue that begins to de-stigmatize mental health, encourages more young people to seek out ways to improve their state of mind, and m Mv ass » Tiies •'1 W ed Cilmb in the • • French Grammar ' - Executive's Chair Workshop , "Developing Your .:• lOto 11:50 a.m. Markstein 125 •• Use of Articles & • Negatives* • ' ; .

As one of the most visited places in Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle hard! In a city full of talented artists of llVilV «MUÍ many disciplines— especially leather working, wood and metals, there is no shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red City," possibly due to the abundance of its ochre colored buildings, and it was the capital of Morocco off and on for a few hundred years. The first thing that a visitor to the place will notice when disembarking the plane, l^il^i is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar collision of smells, sights and noise that it can be tricky to maintain your sense of direction, not good when you are trying to find your accommodations! Donkeys and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely potent fumes hit the nose as you meander through the narrow streets. Venders in tiny shops line the streets as do countless motorbike repair shops and you really have to be careful in navigating your way around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with regard to slaloming a motorbike at high speed through the throngs of walkers.* Most streets seem to lead to the famous Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers to story tellers/Animals are everywhere too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul THE PRIDE their cargo and performing monkeys hop around their owners shoulders. Naturally pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a. beautiful structure complete with huge stork nests at the top. Five times a day there is a call to prayer from the minaret which adds to the feeling of wonderment of the place; there really is nothing more beautiful than hearing the first cali just before dawn. Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the extensive network of the souqs an absolute must to explore. Everything you could possibly imagine is sold here, including things you would probably not like to imagine, such as leopard skins that you will find in some of the apothecary stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above all, be respectful to the Moroccans right to practice what they believe in, you are after all a visitor in their culture. Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in the museums and the gorgeous Yves St. Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the numerous steam baths or Hammans for an olive soap scrub down or simply sit and people watch whilst sipping delicious mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna. In all, Marrakesh will provide memories of a timeless place and you will no doubt be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and exhilarating culture. �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 1, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I am so sick of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The sports world loves this rivalry, but I am completely over it. The last straw for me came last Thursday. I was sitting in my COMM 440 class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about, and last week was no different. My next step at that point is to ask my buddy Mike Millburn for a topic. I respect his suggestions since he's also in the sports business, but I could tell it was a slow sports news day when he told me the biggest story was about a sock. That's right, a sock. Not just a regular white gym sock, but a bloody sock that was worn in 2004. The significance of a bloody sock, you ask? It was worn by Curt Schilling in the 2004 playoffs when the Red Sox came from behind from a three games to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the World Series. Schilling showed great courage at the time for pitching with a torn tendon in his ankle. The blood on the sock came from his sutured ankle that the training staff did up for him twice during the playoffs. The reason this * sock has emerged almost three years later? Because Gary Thorne, a baseball announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it was red paint, and not blood on the sock. That was the lead story on the 3PM Sportscenter last Thursday. ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red Sox. What may be most disturbing is that red sock sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame. When the museum closes at night I can imagine all the baseball head plaques wondering where 3 snnam..Mrm 9 8 6 1 5 the nasty smell is coming from. I can imagine the plaques of Reggie Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking at one another and accusing Babe Ruth as the source of the smell. Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's a bloody sock from the Red Sox World Series Championship. I can imagine all of that because the sports world would like you to believe that even the Red Sox and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques don't like each other. Seriously, though. The Red Sox and Yankees played a three game series two weeks ago and all three were on national telecasts, ESPN broadcasted the Friday and Sunday night games while Fox 6 7 2 T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules: 5 2 6 *Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order Évery 3 by 3 subsection of thè 9 by 9 squaré must include all digits 1 through 9 s ! i 9 L 6 "1 Z if Z 8 £ Ez P L; £ 9 s £ P 6 i 9 Ï -5.V.

The season is only a month old and both teams have already made more appearances on national television than most other teams will have all season long. Back to the red sock. Thorne actually held an impromptu news conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever saying that it was paint, and not blood. A press conference over a bloody sock. I think that may be a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played out rivalry.

A native to North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a peachy blend of acoustic folk and poppy jams. "I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece of paper, the result, the grade— [it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the fulfillment in every step along the way, and don't worry too much about the outcome," said Storrow. "If you really want it, it will happen," he continued, addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career aspirations. After a long haul oftouring last winter - "150 days on the road," claimed Storrow - he's back in town for a bout of relaxation and regeneration to finish his first ^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel Diaz. "It's been really nice to just be home," said Storrow, "and I think it also helps the art too. Being homfe and connecting with these old relationships that I've had and being in this emotional space of familiarity—that really breeds good art, I think." Anticipated to be released later this summer, some of the highlights awaiting listeners on the yet to be named new album are tracks like "Angel of the Moment," "Midnight Daydreams," and "Ugly." "Everything from songs I wrote six years ago, to songs that I wrote yesterday are going to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the same place, which is a very honest place." One of the featured tracks that .will be on the new album is "Angel of the Moment." "For me," explained Storrow, "that song is about all of us in our own capacity to be someone's angel, which I think is such a powerful thought, so I'm excited about that song and what it says." Formerly the frontmanforThe Storrow Band, Martin Storrow is no stranger to the local or even national music scene and his music is as honest and captivating as ever. "I'm sure you've listened to a song and thought: 'that song is about me, that's what I wanted to say, and this person said it.' As a [song-writer] when I hear that, there's a part [of me] that's like 'oh crap, what now?' [Thinking] that now I can't write that song because someone else already said it," said Storrow. "But to be able to do that—to be able to connect—it's not just a destination as much as it is a process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that process...there's no point that I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done being a song-writer.'" Admitting to having played over 350 shows within the past few years on the road, when asked how he keeps his performances fresh and unique, he replied, "I think the trick to keeping it fresh is a) remembering exactly why I do this, and b) playing stuff that I like and enjoying myself." Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin Storrow's "show slash workshop" is fun and memorable, complete with Storrow's special touch of humor and charm. Catch Martin Storrow at "It's a Grind Coffee House" off of Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos, every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. through May.

JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing, audiences across the world are getting tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3" in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) square off against the New Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) in what may be considered the best "Spider-Man" yet. At the start of the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) is at the top of his class in school while, Spider-Man is receiving approval from the entire city of New York. Mary sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on any given occasion. This juicy spin on a classic martini could have originated from one of three scenarios in my opinion; the first of which is in the spirit of the evil queen in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale says, tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple. The second of which is the telltale biblical story of the temptation of the Eve with apple in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of the Appletini felt tempted to mess with a good thing (the original martmi). Although none of these possibilities a?e very likely, this sinful indulgence is a sugary twist on the timeless martini, bound to delight and satisfy. Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is stilWooking to avenge his father's death. With everything going so well, it only seems right that outside forces would begin to play a role and bring in a lot of drama. When a strange black creature from out of this world takes over the Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace, the audience receives a well-balanced cast. Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride .With many subtle variations of the newly found classic floating around, my . favorite version of the smashingly appetizing Appletini is as follows: 1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka 1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill with ice. Shake well and then pour the mix into a martini glass and garnish with an apple slice or a maraschino cherry, Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is just too bad it took the rest of us so long to catch on. As things begin to settle down in the movie and the storylines are slowly immerging, Maguire and Franco are able to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over emphasizing their emotions, which brings humor to the film. With things slowly going back to normal, the audience gets sucked into the heavy dosages of drama instead of the action packed movie viewers would expect. With the longevity of the drama, the film's humor passes the time as well as the scattered battle scenes throughout the film. The best parts of thisfilmare the action scenes - from the spectacular animation Movie Review Image courtesy of Sony Pictures of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well choreographed battles between the good ""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys. The action scenes allow the audience to forget that the story moves slowly. With some amazing one-on-one battles, the finale is what makes the movie what it is, another blockbuster smash. With all the story lines coming to a close, the movie tries to pull tears from the audience as the emotional rollercoaster of Spider-Man and friends comes to an end. And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. house in reference to a popular BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Jpride Staff Writer * ¡ gggj on Qhxgda oV southern s We. ¡ ¡¡¡I ¡ g j m i | rn I H P | g tass bottles are tinted dark green and : | Friday, night, books in a, mountainous adorned with red and gold bottle caps, stack on the left, bundles of pens and pencils The bottle caps crown a beer with an alcool the right, and a computer screen in the hoi by volume of 4.8 percent.

IntHERnational will become a part of CSUSM next fall, and it will aim to educate students in global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights. IntHERnational will have a set focus on women without voices and women who are suppressed, abused, murdered or forgotten. Professor Schaffman asked to her class to create a zine. Macias and Schouwe created a zine titled IntHERnational with Barbara Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste Lampro. "The assignment was designed to artfully address any women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and Macias said. The zine focused on women from Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, India and the United States. Each section of the zine informs its readers on women of various regions.

"The importance of having a club like IntHERnational that raises awareness and discussion about women's issues is clear," Schouwe and Macias said. "As IntHERnational relates to greater San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus breeds a more lasting and honest beginning for larger community connections." Schouwe and Macias plan on hosting events including art exhibits and performances by dance and acting groups. In order to help local women and their families, Schouwe and Macias also plan on volunteering with CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member to offer suggestions or input as to how we can be most effective as an organization in encouraging people to become more involved in our cause," said Schouwe and Macias. For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe atschou001@csusm.eduor Alexis Macias at macia005@csusm. edu. Afghanistan section speaks of girls as young as 11 or 12 who have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest socio-political organization of Afghan women. The zine also provides information on female genital mutilation in the Maasai community of Kenya. The zine describes how the 5,000 year old practice of removing the entire clitoris and labia is unwanted among women but the practice is the only means of acceptance of women in the community. The zine also features information on women of Guatemala, India and the United States. Following the zine project, each student took part in a performance that included a vigil and an art interpretation of each zine. After the performance, Schouwe and Macias said, "Karen offered her enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire school. Alexis and I then thought more about the impact our message would have, but on a more lasting level, such as starting a club." an actual weapon loaded with blanks, so there will be noise.

Representatives from a variety of departments, student organizations, and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's Studies Department, PAN, LGBTA, Triota, and members of ASI. "Without allies like yourselves, none of this would have been possible," said Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's Center.

The growing number of students who want an Asian-American course is on the rise. Graduate student Patricia Guevana said to the 60 students and faculty in attendance, "We have studies for women; there are Latino studies and African-American studies, but we do not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said, "Mostly what we know of our culture is from our parents." The meeting brought up issues of language and how this generation of Asian-American students feels that they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture. Guevana said, "Not many of you have had an opportunity to take an Asian-American class, and if you From P A I N T B A L L , page 1 won the last four, ending up with a 44 record overall."

"It seems unfair that the four of us get credit when really it's been a team effort. We have come far this year. Look at us. This is our family. We are here together. We are here because we all beliçve in the same things," Lim said. Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she wrote to honor several volunteers. The ditty was a spin on the Inez and Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as their names popped up in the lyrics. The Women's Center distributed 25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with earth toned t-shirts decorated with the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names. About sixty-five invitations were sent out for the ceremony. A slide show featuring volunteers brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing away at all the good memories they had shared while working together. Out of all the events the Women's Center hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle said, "The most popular event of the semester was the singer, songwriter Ellis, who is a lesbian performer." Following the slide show, guests were asked to check underneath their seats for a purple ribbon, and winners possessing the ribbons received bonsai trees for a prize. Lim closed her speech with a quote, "Margaret Mead was right when she said, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that's the only thing that ever has.'" have, it has been somewhere else." With high hopes of gaining support of fellow students, Guevana and fellow students passed a petition around the room to gain signatures in hopes of imposing the importance of courses on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the CSUSM community. But having courses placed on the agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially even major in it. But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can fill the schedule with as many courses as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't enroll for them." The professors emphasized the slow procedure that would take place to gain courses and the responsibility of those students who want to register for the classes. "It would be a huge step back for all of us if we were to make an approach at adding courses for Asian-American studies and then have three or four students register for the class. They would then take that course off the schedule and add another course at the time slot and we it would be heavy blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said. With high hopes of achieving a course for next fall, the staff members in attendance were able to get a better of picture of how many students are interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies. to improve their overall standing. Paintball is ranked the 3rd most popular extreme sport in the United States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. In the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in the woods to a legitimized tournament sport. "People think we wear camouflage and play pretend war out in the forest... it's nothing like that. We play on a regulation sized field, with rules, penalties, referees, spectators, and media. Tournament style play is fast and fierce," said team member Andrew Craig.

With each proceeding year Cougars paw out more and more money each semester as not only tuition increases but other items such as parking costs increase. Unfortunately, the inflation within the cost of pursuing a higher education does not equal the amount of money Cougars earn. Thus, student loans offer a much-needed band-Aid for the situation. The majority of student loans start with Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA applications are due before July 2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student loans are subsidized and/or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans allow students to take out loans from the federal government without having to pay interest or make payments while attending school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest free and payment free until the student has not attended school at least part-time status within a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest and require the student to make monthly payments while attending school. CSUSM requires all first time student loan students to complete two items. First, students must complete Loan Entrance Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note. Aside from the FAFSA, there are other student loan oppor- UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SERGEANT FIRST ClASS <^FC) WAUD W m Wk - —u Q $77) 7330 CU 2- 1— « 2 Titscthy.W«ud@us4fec. »ray.nul NURSE CORPS~ ADNRNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse trai ning available; CRNA, LTHET.CC.

The Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students PLUS allows parents of dependent-students to take out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit check. A monthly payment of at least 50 dollars is required within 60 days of disbursement. The loan amount is due within ten years. The Federal Perkins Loan o ffers a loan primarily for teaching credential students. The loan focuses on certain groups due to limited funding. The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to a subsidized l6an, payments are required 9 months a fter the student has stopped attending school with at least part-time status. As long as the student remains in school part-time, the loan remains interest f ree as well. The Cal State San Marcos Spicer loan allows students to take out up to $4,000 in student loans. Also similar to a subsidized loan, students make payments a fter they have stopped attending school parttime within six months. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships determines eligibility. The Cal State San Marcos Emergency Loan quickly allows students to take out $500. The loan is interest free. The loan amount is also due at the end of the semester. The loan becomes available two days after processing. Curious or confused Cougars should visit Cougar Central, which is located in the Tukwut courtyard on the third floor of Craven Hall.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Scotland is a country often passed oyer in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the life of me I cannot understand why. It is a land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes, friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland holds a host of relics and secrets and it is not uncommon for a visitor to stumble upon such forgotten and hidden treasures, be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such as the secretive sea otter or pine martin. Scotland is a land of contradiction - of warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and she has something to offer everyone. From the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or the history buff - she has it all. For me, on a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering alongside an old steam train, dragon-like with clouds of steamy breath hitting the cool highland air is firmly imprinted into my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet - 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth, and my home. As an unofficial ambassador to my homeland, I often hear the plans of future tourists and, more often than not, they present such an unrealistic itinerary that I cringe - yes it is a small country but do not be fooled! We have some of the wildest terrain imaginable and the canny traveler must be prepared for amazingly winding roads, this also means that a longer amount of time must be factored into a journey through a mountain range, along with other considerations, such as holdups caused by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may descend at a moments notice and the winds and rain can carry with them the same fervor as the magnificent landscape itself. All of that information digested, the next thing to realize is that there are different and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is a vastly different experience to be gained from time spent in either of these regions. A trip to the constantly mispronounced Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle, which contains the crown jewels, there are so many places to explore in the city, far too many to list here! Other cities worth a peek aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf, Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby and the highest mountain in the highlands — Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so many highland attractions within easy reach. An often missed region of Scotland is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here that you will find the Wallace monument. It contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic view from the top of the monument and the huge sword of Wallace himself! Getting to the mainland however is mandatory to fully appreciate the culture of Scotland as her scores of islands have different stories to tell. So next time you are thinking of heading overseas, consider Scotland, not only Ireland! Just make sure you allocated enough time and try to visit the Highland and Islands too, for a real taste of life there, why not visit all the distilleries - become a genuine whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland will reveal that there is much more than bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart' to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't just take my word for i t... �Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer When I was in 8th grade I went on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't remember what for. That was back in 1999 when I was 13 years old. I remember standing at the top of the stairs that lead t o Science Hall, j ust watching the students walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying I wasn't interested in going t o that University. It didn't have sports. I remember a Saturday in April of 2003 when I came to CSUSM to take my placement tests. I was mad because I was missing the opening of the NBA playoffs. I remember a day in Summer 2003 when I had orientation and signed up for Fall 2003 courses. I remember sitting in Arts 240, wondering how this group of people called the O-Team could be so damn happy at 8AM. I remember the tour around campus. I remember arriving at Commons 201, just past die ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the elevator. The guide said this was where the student newspaper had its office. It seemed like he was looking directly at me when he said t hat I remember the first Tuesday of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and I was waiting in the hallway of 2007 University Hall to attend my first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I was interested in the newspaper. I remember saying, " I want t o be a sports journalist when I grow up? One of those women was Sarah Carlin. I remember her calling me on Wednesday February 11th, telling me t o come t o campus. She asked i f l wanted t o write a sports column every week. I asked what we would call i t I remember Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come up with a title. Sarah thought up "Jock Talk," and I added "With Josh." I remember Tuesday February 17th, 2004 when the first "Jock Talk With Josh" came o ut It was about the dangers of ephedra based drugs and how they were affecting the world of sports. Since I'm graduating this semester, this is the final "Jock Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this column. This helped turn me into a working journalist with the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on April 29th 2004. It gave me a voice to influence. If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never forget when a current staff writer told me she joined the paper because of the article I wrote in opposition t o the University Hour. This also got me into a lot of trouble. I got my share of hate mail when I lambasted the Winter Olympics and when I commented on the media's hypocrisy in the Michael Richards incident When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th 2004, I found out that people actually read this. To this day I 'm still shocked when someone tells me they read this. Earlier this semester on a Friday night I was at a restaurant in Solana Beach when a woman came up to me, asking if I was Josh Sandoval. I didn't know her, and was wondering how she knew me. She told me she loves my column and reads it every week. It meant a lot t o me any time someone came up t o me on campus and told me they read this. I could fill this final column with just names of people and places that meant something to me, so here are a few. I've worked with three faculty advisors: Jennifer Woodring, Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson. I've worked in three newspaper rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301, and Craven 3500. I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick B. Long, and David Galley. I also have t o mention Jason Encabo, the current Managing Editor and future editor-in-chief, because I've been on the paper with him the longest There wasn't a Sports section until my column came around. My dream came true this year when my column got pushed t o the Opinion section because others joined t o cover sports. Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, David Church, Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley. I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and 90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a tear in F ait2007 when this is no longer part of my life. I don't know where I 'll be in 10 years. I could be a sports writer, an MLB General Manager, a national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows? One thing I do know is I have this column t o thank for getting me started. For the last time, comments can be sent to me at Sando026@csusm.edu and the paper at jnide@csusm.edu. •Siili Mmbriit'htesä I« I^^HBHB nimonitnisaal BBaBPWgBSBi^iaiigieaveiyiD •MMMÉDL • IR • Xj S M MAROOS W « t ( 7 6 0 ) 5 1 0 - 1 9 9 7 Santa F«Rd.

He's got a knack for cracking us up and a taste for music that's won him a Grammy. He's got a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time, he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch movies and read. In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses," Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole? You feel so sorry for this guy because he's had to deal with all this adversity in his life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying to ruin my life, and no one will side with me because everyone feels sorry for him." Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars "Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother and happily married to Tom. When Sofia chooses to become a stay-at-home mom, Tom finds it challenging to step up to the demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside Bateman's character, Chip. Off camera, the two comedians hammed it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl. "Mostly it's him making f un of me and laughing at my expense. He's one of those people, he can be making f un of you and you're just cracking up because he's so freakin' funny." Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was exposed to Manhattan's performing art scene early on. He has memories of his parents commuting into Manhattan to see performances at art house theaters well before independent films were the thing to see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father would host dinner parties for friends and project 16-millimeter films on the wall. Most of those movies were Woody Allen films. "Even at a young age, before I could possibly understand a Woody Allen movie or anything else, I have memories of my father celebrating the art of movies and filmmaking." The art of filmmaking turned into a dis- cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and a minor in Musical Theatre. From there he landed a role in Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries," where Braff said, "If you look at my face closely for the forty five seconds I'm on screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified. I was in a little bit over my head." In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD" Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that it will be on, but it won't be decided until May 15, and particularly which network. It will either be on NBC or ABC." As a writer, director and soundtrack producer for "Garden State," Braff has a thing or two to say about making films for the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking classes or talking about it is going to make any difference. You have to get out there and make films. And I think, really, really Earn 3 credits more info: pricie@csusiiLedu "So my idea is to have all these different artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend are her songs and then she'll sing them in the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist who wrote the song will sing the song they wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea and I'm going to see if I can get people to do that." As far as music, Braff is currently into Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson. "I think everyone should go on MySpace. There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't have an album out, but you can hear her on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool invention that you can have a dialogue with your fans."

Anyone with a video camera can go out there and make a video and put it on YouTube. What sets the certain ones apart is someone took the time and wrote a really good script." Although Braff frequently chooses the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a Grammy for his selection of music for "Garden State," and has directed three music videos, Braff said, "I really don't know anything about music, other than I know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've seen an artist in any art form that you love, and you j ust can't believe that no one knows about them." Braff is looking forward to directing "Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the ; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said. m ' I Ä ' JJ . Write for The Pride!

I want to say thanks for doing such an Farewell from the Editor In Chief: David Gatley First off, I had no idea I was graduating at &e onset. of this semester. ; After one spends six years in college the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a microscopfc, translucent, blurry, mirage more than anything else; seriously, no exaggeration whatsoever. Looking back it occurs to me that this little publication we call The Pride is hard to define. The lack of a college of Journalism and the prevalence of Uterature^id Writing studetrts t end^f make Hie Pride m f e a i^gasa^r and creative writing forum than a being 3^>u {tfa^ to unite the entire campus community and forever capture the spirit of being young. They also let you print stories about sex, alcohol, drugs, rebellion, rock and roll, abortion and anything else controversial, underground and altogether morally sound and righteously awesome ;) ei In all seriousness however, I've been lucky enough to utilize The Pride as a voice of the students, at least those who spoke U p, to take on ««^trovdrsy and concàii ; on campus such as the new Stu* dent Conduct Policy and issues like PedesWan Safety R's real^ reffeshingfÉr s ^ a mwJIiun such newspaper.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, May 3, during university hour, the library courtyard was rocked with the sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and music. Paul Huggins, a musician and educator at Yale University since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades, performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of Palomar College. A fter singing, performers Silfredo La O Vigo and Patrice-ann Mead showed off their dancing skills, while the drum ensemble laid down some contagious beats. Dozens of students gathered to hear the distinctive drum songs and to watch the high-energy dancing. Performers played congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a box-shaped drum. They played all during university hour, which is quite a feat considering some drum players played with only their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is truly amazing. Even playing for Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride Cai State San Marcos students while 10 minutes can make an average drummer's hands numb from all of that drum slapping. At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn how to meringue. Students' skill levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly were not dancing for their first time. It was amazing to see how much f un it was for students to learn and dance. The instructors were both very skillful dancers whose infectious attitudes made learning dancing a joy, and for us observers, entertaining to watch. "It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If you have not already guessed, this week's Beer of the week is Red Stripe. Not only is Red Stripe brewed and bottled in Jamaica but the Ambassador of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously Jamaica is very proud of their beer, and they have the right to be. Red Stripe is not only a delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine. I was digging through my refrigerator hoping to find a home cooked meal when my roommate mentioned he had discovered a new restaurant just down the street. I looked at him and said, "Let's Go." Next thing I know we are pulling up to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will be a first." But I was in store for much more. When we sat down the first thing I ordered was a Red Stripe. When the waitress returned with our beers in hand I was happy to see that these were no ordinary Red Stripes; these were at least 32 ounces of delicious beer. While I was enjoying the first couple sips of beer, the waitress filled us in on some of the history of Red Stripe. To my surprise Red Stripe is still brewed and bottled in Jamaica. A soda company brewed the first Red Stripe in 1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World War II when some of our troops were sent to Jamaica. But it wasn't until the 1960s, when Jamaica became independent from Britain, that the company could go public and really start producing beer. I enjoyed my Red Stripe with and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and washing it down with Red Stripe finished it off perfectly. "It's beer. Hooray beer."

This time they face what may be their most challenging task yet - finding a new King for Far Far Away after King Harold (shall we pun?) croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as the incomparable vocal cast. It all began in 1930 with the debut of a teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew. Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, whose brainchildren include such well-known favorites as the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy Drew" series was published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a number of writers actually worked on the series. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays the winsome teen detective who relocates from the fictional town of River Heights to Hollywood, California, and promptly finds a mystery to solve.

T his summer shall b ring many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties, r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson " The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull," Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright "Release t he Stars." W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single, "Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is in stores May 22. D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback. Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree " Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica. It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom h is Beatles days to create t he last ever m ade new Beatles song with a little help f rom h is good friend R ingo Starr. " Memory A lmost F ull" is due out J une 5. A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur " hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now" is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is slightly forlorn. E nrique looks and sounds b etter t han ever; h is b reak from t he niusic scene h as w orn on h im well. Only 36 more sleepless nights u ntil E nrique's album, " Insomniac" debuts June 12. Lastly, R ufus Wainwright, t he p oetic d reamer h e is, h as a new album entitled "Release t he Stars," which w ill b e on store shelves May 15.

Although I should be happy as I was able to watch the Anaheim Ducks hoist the cup at the Honda Center as well as see the San Antonio Spurs win another NBA championship. This was a summer to remember for me in the sports world, but there are things I want to forget. Let me start with Michael Vick who deserves everything that is coming to him. This is the same guy who last year told his brother Marcus to clean up his act and stop getting into trouble. But now, it is big brother who will learn the consequences of disobeying the law, as he faces 2 years in jail and a possible lifetime ban from the NFL that he truly deserves. But what do you expect when you are giving players like Vick, Tank Johnson and Adam "Pacman" Jones millions of dollars. All they know how to do w ith, money is cause headaches for themselves, their families, teams and the sport. On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds asterisked the record book by passing Hank Aaron to become the all-time homerun leader. Although I don't feel that an asterisk is fully necessary for this record as batters are not the only ones who are juicing. We were reminded about Clay Hensley failing a steroid test in the minor leagues while Bonds was running the bases to his record tying homerun at Petco Park. The only good thing about | Í 1 : 1 1 I W o m é n f S % è r v s.

Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy found a way to hurt the game a little bit more by admitting to gambling on NBA games he officiated. It will now be up to David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy has created for him as Donaghy faces 25 years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have been forgotten by start of the season as their will be talk going on about another NBA player breaking another law or Kobe Bryant holding out on the Lakers because they are not up to Kobe's caliber. But don't get me wrong here, there was more to the summer that is definitely worth mentioning. Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the Cup, the Spurs won the championship and talk about Bonds has finally died down. But the best thing that happened this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players who deserved to be in Cooperstown. As for my summer, it was one I will never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100 investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1 odds and I was also able to improve my golf swing and my handicap. But the one thing I am going to miss about summer is the two months off of doing nothing.

It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like only yesterday I was spending all of my spare time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a group of talented writers and designers. Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every year producing stories for the first issue. More recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^ enough on how important the paper is to the campus. It brings not only information to the stM dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students on campus r un by students. There are many options for students to participate" kr the paper that range f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e| I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper was important for my academic career at Cal State San Marcos. First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career. The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews both in the academic and professional arenas. Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree, which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really opened up doors for me. My first motivation right after graduation was to apply to law school. I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires close reading. This attentive reading has developed my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing. Former Pride staffer is attending graduate school at CSUSM. In order t o help with my writing and analytic skills, I signed up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester, the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend the intricate nature of journalism. Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both my personal life, academic, and professional life. I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just to be nice. My relations through the Pride helped me land my first job as a writer for a military contract company. Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school. The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the writers to try a different beer every week. On the plus side, he wrote a great article for each one. As for me, the best experience was management. The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in early and proof read was a true example of my leadership. JoshSandoval Class of 2007 Former Pride columnist now works for the Los Angeles Times. This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for Jock Talk With Josh. I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/ I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The Homies Show." The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis & Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13 markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego. The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can lead until you're ready to take action. Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help out anyone from CSUSM. It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos. I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor. And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley, and Jason Encabo. Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer, my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a writer. In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career in writing. The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve, a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism, media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the time I used to write a weekly column about beer. Michael Dolan Class of 2004 Former Pride editor and ombudsman now works as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, Today's Local News. The Pride is a chance for a P ride. Cal State San Marcos student to prove he or she can do something. It is as simple as that. The job market has changed, and companies no longer are interested in rewarding you for your academic achievements. Companies want " somebody who can produce work right awayfOnce you have graduated from college, the stress of finding work really kicks in. You will want to be as prepared as possible and look as marketable as possible when searching for a job. The Pride can do that for you. I spent two years on The Pride staff: one as ombudsman and one as co-editor-in-chief. It was my experience at The Pride that led me directly to my j ob as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Today's Local News. The degree was a formality when applying for a job J /VÄ you teaJ-^oot/dJo£ skills. Photo ¿y Chad Spìnte in the real world; my experience and my ability to prove that I could produce something of value got me the job. The Pride can give you experience to build on later in your career. You will broaden your view of what is happening on campus, be able to assess information from multiple sources and learn how to function effectively under deadline pressure. All these skills will help you in the real world. By the time you leave Cal State San Marcos, you will want to be able to show a prospective employer you can do something. Come work for The Pride and gain skills that contribute to student life while you are on campus and will help once you have graduated. �about their time at The Pride and life after SarahSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist at American Tattoo in Bonsall. I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that the university continued to over charge its constituents for everything from new editions of standard texts to paying an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot. Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus, because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences. My decision was to have my own comic strip in The Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be no competition, no line of students battling it out for the space in print. My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the news editor of the The Pride. The student newspaper, especially my comic strip, became an avenue in which I could air my grievances, point out the everyday life of the average student and question the authority on campus. Every week I had to write my storyline out and then draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were better than others, but I did get better and I completely reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing. I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight in me necessary to making this happen. ChadSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer now works at Today's Local News as a graphic designer. I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four in the morning. Then I was approached with an opportunity to work at a tattoo shop again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but I would be able to draw again. And I secretly hoped that by showing off my skill and ability to draw I would be offered a tattoo apprenticeship. My wish came true, but then came the work and I had to tell my family. Let's just say they weren't pleased, and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most. But all those old people have made a lot of mistakes themselves, and I would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't make me happy. Someone once told me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is like being married to someone you don't love." Being an apprentice was one of the more challenging experiences of my life, for many reasons, but I had the fight in me. Drawing makes every- j thing in the world disappear. It is better than any other form of escape I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things as I draw. The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of a button, never to be remembered. I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and predictable stories about parking and fee hikes. The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if I could help. I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it was challenging. I participated in writing and designing, and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts." The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and passionate students like yourself to participate." They wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks." But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism experience or newspaper background, but all expressed genuine interest in being a part of the paper. There were no returning students f rom the, previous year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school. We were building f rom square one, which made it seem limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered responsibilities. We made it happen. The idea of a student newspaper is integral to having # student voice on campus. In the age of the Internet, people are arguing that newspapers are a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^ But Web-based content, will never compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a newspaper and seeing the efforts of the writers, editors and designers pulling together to create a printed product in a form that you can fold up and take with you anywhere. I still have the issue that I was in as a sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a student f rom the newspaper s taff asked to take my picture and get a quote f rom me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to see my picture in print was pretty cool. I felt as though I had made some kind of permanence in the annals of Cal State San Marcos. You will never get that emotion from a 77?, Ptide. provides Web site. I see Web content as a temporary mark of binary code in the soulless a tana^/e. product greatest friendships of my life and worked really hard for very little pay. I could have taken that strength anywhere, but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist. on the offer. "How can I help?" they would ask. "Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories" That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of student life and identity would be threatened. It makes sense though. The student newspaper always has been an outlet for dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus? Student government? In my experience with student government, they are acting under the higher hand of the administration and generally express the voice of the average student who just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong, there should be student elections, but the newspaper will always serve as the true voice of the students, grammatical errors and all. I am fortunate to have found a job in the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for Today's local news. I love being able to be creative everyday and seeing a product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks, but journalist are generally unphased by this and trudge on knowing that the public is more apt to complain than it is to praise. The newspaper industry is in a bad place with many papers going under due to a lack of advertising revenue. It's hard to compete with low overhead Web sites. But like I said before, I have faith in the printed word. A student Web site is not an acceptable comproCSUSM. mise.

Each year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to attend summer school. With each year of summer birth transcends summer death, a gloomy and unwanted realization of the beginning of another semester. Beach Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and attitude of a southern Californian summer that many Cougars cherish. Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and operates from St. Louis, Missouri. Currently, the brewery classifies as the third largest brewing company in the world. The brewery corners the market with their new marketing program titled Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught quarterly produces seasonal brews for the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without hurting the dolphins. The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops with flash and excitement through any frosty store refrigeration window. The cardboard container portrays bright yellow sunshine rays descending upon a vivid baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime green textured grass. Summer sun orange decorates the rest of the packaging. A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an open white and blue flowered Hawaiian styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange ale in a glass in the other. The scenery depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark brown accents tint the glass and are labeled with the scene f rom the cardboard container. The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.4 percent. The ale pours smooth with a mild half inch thick head. The luscious hue of the ale captures a San Diego coast sunset of rich, powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel roasted barley malts which are hopped with imported spices comprise a smooth and f ull bodied refreshing taste. Just enough flavors create a crisp Dubai BY OMAR SAEB Pride Contributor Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities When people mention the United Arab Emirates, it is often overshadowed by the well-known emirate of Dubai. The immense popularity and growth of Dubai as a travel destination has led this small emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen. Like much of the Middle East, twenty years ago Dubai was a small emirate in reaction amongst the taste buds. The brewery recommends consuming the ale with barbecue, fish, and or salads. Summer has ended. While the average Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour, enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3 miles per hour to the nearest market. Purchase the last remains of summer while it last for the ale will be replaced soon with Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale. City of Endless ^ Possibilities the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai is competing to be the financial center of the Middle East and is home to various attractions in which tourists flock to year around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made building in the world reaching 168 floors, called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all. When traveling to the Middle East there is always a sense of caution due to the instability of the region, but Dubai is another story. With all the hype about Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand. A fter spending about three weeks there, I had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that there-are endless possibilities in Dubai. It would be 120 degrees outside and you can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the Emirates. What is amazing is that for half the day you can snowboard, then go on a dune-bashing safari excursion and explore the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East. The amount of classy hotels and shopping districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the Emirates is the biggest mall in the region in which Ski Dubai is located. Although Dubai is a place filled with unique modern architecture and end- Photos courtesy of Omar Saeb less tourist excitement, be aware of the scorching hot weather that engulfs the region during the summer. Travelers need not worry commercial air conditioners to the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai make sure to check out various hot spots such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world. The building in itself is an architectural masterpiece. Many Europeans every year fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee you will have the time of your life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Past discussion ofraises came in response to annual studies conducted by the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). According to Paul Brown- ing, a representative f rom the Chancellor's Office, "CPEC doesn't do the executive studies anymore." As a result, Chancellor Reed plans to pitch the proposed compensation increase on the basis of data f rom a private firm that the Chancellor's office commissioned to study salary comparisons. However, issues with the reliability and credibility of his proposal may provide a dilemma for the Board of Trustees. Traditionally, CPEC conducted studies on executive and faculty salaries with the support of the CSU, UC, and various government agencies. While CPEC continues to conduct faculty salary studies, it recently halted its studies on executive salaries in response to self-evaluations that suggest the methodology in their studies is outdated and incomplete. In a report released in March 2007, CPEC concluded that executive salary studies were substantially incomplete because they could not "obtain perquisite and benefit information f rom the [CSU and UC] systems."

Cross country at Aztec Invitational BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Church / The Pride CSUSM cross country runners Patrick Fitzgerald and Kyle Fox at the Aztec Invitational Saturday, Sept. 15. The CSUSM Cross Country Cougars competed in the 63rd Annual Aztec Invitational at Balboa Park on Saturday, Sept. 15. The runners were up to the challenge as they were r unning the toughest course they would compete in this season. "This course is much harder than last week," said Coach Steve Scott. "This course makes last week's course look relatively flat." But the women's team was up for the challenge. Last year, the women's team had two members cross the finish line under 20 minutes. This year the wom- en's team put six across. Morgan Sjorgren led the team with an 18:51 and finished 23rd overall -1:03 ahead of last year's time. Jessica Sandoval finished 32nd with a time of 19:04. Sandoval was followed by Whitney Patton with a time of 19:08 and finished 35th. Joy Leon went on to r un a 19:30 and finished 45th, while teammate Kristen Simek finished the scoring with a time of 19:41. Lindsey McKown finished three seconds under the 20 minute mark. "Despite the women's team finishing 8th overall and the men finishing 6th, the women's team had a better day overall," said Scott.

Lisa Dickenson, coordinator at the CSUSM Fitness and Wellness Center, spoke for the event giving students tips on how to eat healthy on a budget. Dickenson suggests that students shop together with roommates to help ease the budget pain. She also encourages reducing serving portions. Saving time and money by planning meals for the week makes healthy eating much easier. An important part of healthy eating involves shopping wisely, which means finding the right store for your preferences that can save you money on the items that you enjoy. Dickenson advises that a balance between density verses quantity is also key, as density in a meal will stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. THE PRIDE tially move up the pay grade from week.

All of this work will culminate this week into what most know as "Rush Week". Formally known as "Recruitment" here on campus, September 17-21 marks a week in which all of the Sororities and Fraternities on campus plan to host events designed to introduce students to their respective groups and Greek life as a whole. It is the policy of CSUSM that students must complete 12 college units in order to "rush" a fraternity or sorority. For those interested and eligible to participate, students must fill out a registration form, which is available on the CSUSM website and at the Student Life and Leadership office. weekly cm Tiiesdays durtog I academic Distrib**I | i | l actates ¡ I of CSUSM cai8pU&\ I | j j j j j j ; j ^ 8/30-9/1/07 GREEK I H R A S&; Alpha Xi Delta will h ava I s N othing S weeter t han a n Alpha X f d essert a nd Mocktail p arty a t t he Prominence Clubhouse A X Q : Alpha Chi Omega will hold A TI2: : Alpha Pi Sigma will host All-Stars" Wednes« d ay S epi T M p m a t «he Clarfce Field H ouse Z B T : Z èta B eta Tay wIB h ost "Movie Night wKh t he Brothers* o n S eptember 2 0^ a t ? p .m. a t t he P ronv i nence Movie T heater, its "Alpha Chi Chanel" on September 2 A E : S igma Alpha Epsiion will 19th from 6-7:70 p.m. at 749 Avenida h ost i ts "True g entleman* E vent Codornte in San Marcos.

The Chargers hoped to c arry the momentum across the country to New England, where they faced a Patriots team in the midst of a sideline spying scandal that put them back $250,000 and took away what will likely be a first round d raft pick. The Patriots, anchored by star Quarterback, Tom Brady, did damage early in the game, when Brady connected with Tight End, Benjamin Watson to take a 7-0 lead on the opening drive. On the first play of the ensuing possession, Chargers Quarterback, Philip Rivers showed early signs of weakness, throwing an interception to Patriots Line Backer, Rosevelt Colvin.

I i �A quick guide inside W ith R ush W eek u nderway, T he P ride h ighlights p articipating G reek o rganizations BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Unless you are already a member of a sorority or fraternity, the whole Greek concept may be as confusing as the symbols that represent them. With rush week upon us, it could be beneficial to learn a little bit about what it means to be Greek. More specifically, what is Greek life on campus all about? Most sororities and fraternities are national organizations that consist of individual chapters within different schools. The chapters often have an additional name to distinguish their members from the national society. For example, Alpha Chi Omega sisters at Cal State San Marcos are members of the Iota Tau chapter within the national sorority. Cal State San Marcos currently recognizes five Greek chapters. Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Pi Sigma are the three sororities on campus. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau are the two fraternities. "But what do these names mean?" you might ask. If you • don't know about the Greek system already, your opinion about Greek life could rely primarily on commonly fed stereotypes. "It's different at a smaller campus. We are not SDSU. It's more about making friends and helping the community," said Khristina Cook, an Alpha Chi Omega sister. "Being a part of a sorority or fraternity gives you an automatic support system that will do nothing but benefit your time here on campus." Originally founded on October 15,1885, Alpha Chi Omega is one of the oldest and largest sororities in the country. On March 18, 1995, Cal State San Marcos founded the Iota Tau chapter of the national sisterhood. The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega is to provide the advancement of the intellectual, social and moral culture of its members. Their philanthropic cause is to help victims of domestic violence. Hidden Valley House and Casa De Amparo are just a few organizations the Iota Tau sisters contribute to. Some major campus events include the Carnation Carnival and Mr. Alpha Chi. In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois formed Alpha Xi Delta. The sorority's purpose is to inspire women to realize their potential. Alpha Xi Delta founded Theta Rho chapter at Cal State San Marcos in February of 1995. The Alpha Xi Delta philanthropic cause is called Choose Children. "Last week we held a donation based car wash for a 2 year old boy named Tanner with Muscular Dystrophy. Our goal was to reach $1, 000.00 and we did!" said Alpha Xi Delta president, Erin Maddox. "In fact, we even went a little over." Currently, the Theta Rho chapter has 41 members. The sorority encourages its sisters to involve themselves in other activities on campus as well as maintain excellent academic standing. Their rush week begins with a picnic and ends with a jungle theme. Founded on March 10, 1990, at San Diego State University, Alpha Pi Sigma is a relatively Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride CSUSM Greek organizations seek out new recruits as the campus braces for Rush Week. new sorority. It has six chapters in California. Alpha Pi Sigma is Latina based although it is important to note that the sorority is not exclusive to Latinas. Everyone is welcome to join. On campus, there are currently six members which makes rush week an important opportunity for this new chapter to grow. "We look forward on expanding this semester," said Alpha Pi Sigma president, Araceli Archuleta. "During these special events we hope to get to know potential new members." Alpha Pi Sigma's primary philanthropic causes consist of working within the Latino community and breast cancer awareness. They are participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk" on October 21st. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest fraternity on campus as well as nationally. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has more than 8,200 undergraduates at more than 250 chapters in 48 states. The brotherhood participates in a variety of athletic activities and even finds a way to incorporate a love of sports with an eagerness to help others. The fraternity hosted a dodgeball fundraiser earning $1000 to the Children's Miracle Network. Other philanthropic projects include the Relay for Life Cancer Walk. "We won intramural championships last year in dodgeball and football." Said Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, Shawn McKechnie. This past Thursday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) hosted a toga party following the home soccer game. During rush week, SAE will host various events including a co-ed kickball game, poker & barbeque night, and a competition night of air hockey, darts, pool, and video games. The newest chapter to Cal State San Marcos is Zeta Beta Tau. While the fraternity is just getting its start here on campus, it has high hopes for the upcoming semester. "What sets us apart is that we are a non-pledging fraternity." Said vice president, Brandon Jakobovich. Nationally, Zeta Beta Tau is the oldest and largest historically Jewish fraternity. Philanthropic projects the fraternity participates in are CHOC walk, car wash fundraisers, and blood drives. Zeta Beta Tau prides itself on providing a safe environment for its brothers that focuses on academic excellence as well as a positive social network. Each Greek chapter offers something different to Cal State San Marcos but they all share a common theme: unity. The terms "sorority" and "fraternity" derive from Latin words meaning "sister" and "brother." For any students looking for life long bonds and a place to belong, becoming Greek may just be the right way to go—no chromosomal adjustment necessary.

Since the majority of transfer students do not live on campus, belonging to a club or school organization is one of the best ways to meet new people. One organization that stood out to Lawler was the O Team. "I did something similar to it in high school and really enjoyed it," she said. No matter how each student ended up at CSUSM, everyone has the same common goal: graduation. And for transfer students, that is definitely something to smile about. " That's the best part about being able to transfer to a university out of community college," said Martinez. "It doesn't matter where you came f rom as long as you graduate." The best way to feel comfortable in a new surrounding is also the easiest. Simply t urn to the person sitting next to you and introduce yourself.

Church's Influence on Sports The "juice" is back BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer This past Sunday, Sept. 16, O.J. "The Juice" Simpson was arrested once again. This time he was caught trying to steal memorabilia from a hotel room in Las Vegas. O.J. is now facing three felony charges, one of which is robbery. Once again, O.J. finds himself in tough times as he faces a serious charge. These charges are nothing like the double murder charges he faced in 1995 when he was found not guilty despite a large amount of evidence against him. O.J. is going to have a tougher time defending himself, as the "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit" line won't be working this time. The evidence is already looking bad for O. J., as there is audio with his voice already being identified by experts. Also the eyewitnesses whom he was trying to accuse of stealing his stuff and selling it, have already described O.J. and his men coming into the room with guns not letting anyone out of the room. O.J. will not get the benefit of having a trial in his home territory of Los Angeles, where he played his entire college football career for USC as well as made several Top Gun movies playing the brain-dead character Nordberg. My question is, was O.J. really acting? He obviously has no sense of integrity as he allowed someone to brainwash him into thinking that someone had stolen his stuff. Which police have said he owned at one point, but most likely did not own at that time. This is also the guy who has filed bankruptcy and has seen his name put into shame as he is no longer remembered as the great football player he was. He is now known as the guy who tried to sell his book, "If I Did It" and escaped a double murder charge. Since he had tried to sell the book, he has loss the rights to it because ofhis bankruptcy. The rights were then handed over to the Goldman family who renamed it, "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer." They released the book last week and plenty of senseless readers have purchased the book making it the #1 book on Amazon. Still this arrest comes too late for the Goldman family and the Brown family. Where they might get the benefit by receiving a good sum of money for publishing the book written by O.J, they still do not have any justice from their sons death. As for O.J., he does rfbt have the money he once had, although I do not think that will stop him from getting someone from Johnnie Cochran's team to try to get him off if not another expert who will tell him to have difficulties putting his finger on the trigger of the gun. I do not see how O.J. is walking out of this one, unless he had a double that was playing the penny slot machines at the MGM Grand and it just so happened a security camera caught him at the slot machines at the time of the robbery. But more likely, O.J. is going away for a couple of years.

The performance gave students on campus the opportunity to learn about African American culture through music. Yewande (e-wan-day) Austin, an urban rock artist who has performed in various colleges and universities around the world, introduced students who attended the event to a different view of music. She believes music is about meaning and expression, not just about billboards and fame. This inspired many attendees to think more intensely about changing the way popular culture is leading music. "I am very happy to learn that there are still great artists out there, not just a sell out," said student Gina Rothermel. Students also learned about slavery and its influence in the world of music. Hip hop and the blues are just two examples of the influenced genres. Although popular a long time after slavery ended, there are many ties to slavery in this type of music. According to Austin it all comes from the "Negro Spiritual." "The negro spiritual was a creative way for salves to communicate with each other and express themselves without being punished or killed for doing so," said Austin. This form of communication was passed from generation to generation and each had a new way of doing it. Hip-hop for example is a mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, and earlier forms of African-American music. Not only was this event educational, but it was f un. Throughout the show Yewande had the audience singing and clapping. Members of the audience were even brought up front to serve as a temporary chorus for Austin, including the event coordinator Mrs. Shirley Robinson. Austin had everyone amazed with her music and her passion. At the end of the show, the audience was allowed to ask questions and one of the questions, which got all of the audience attention was, why such a talented artist prefers to perform a show to educate students rather than be on billboards and popular talk shows? Austin explained that success is different to everyone. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON The pilsner lager pours Pride Staff Writer smooth with almost no head.

In her case, she always wanted to be a part of educating people and by doing this she is successful in her own way. "You have the power to change the world," she said. Austin's purpose is just that.

She is an amazing artist and lecturer. This is definitely an experience everyone deserves to have. Her advice to her public she said is "to embrace life, embrace fear, and rise above challenges". The audience loved her not just because of her talent but because she is sincere and loves what she does. She made it clear that she's into this business because it is what she truly loves doing.

Photo by Toria Savey / The Pride Penny Lane BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer My job this week was to find a restaurant that would suit students from San Marcos's restaurant that values the dollar while still creating a f un atmosphere for dining. Well, luckily for CSUSM students, I found one. Penny Lane is a Beatles/ London themed restaurant located in San Marcos, right across the street from Restaurant Row. From the university, it isfiveto seven minutes away, depending on traffic and the time of day. The easiest way to get to the restaurant would be to drive, but you can get there by foot. The prices are reasonable, and every entrée on the menu is under $20.00. The staff is very friendly and always caters to your needs. If you go between the hours of 4 p.m. and- 7 p.m. on weekdays, Penny Lane has Happy Hour specials including $2.99 appetizers. They also have Karaoke Night on Tuesday from 7 p.m.10 p.m. Penny lane is open until 2 a.m. everyday, which is perfect for students 21 and older. For the younger crowd, go enjoy dinner with classic rock music as your background. What I have yet to tell you readers is that Penny Lane has wireless internet throughout the restaurant. Which means when fall and winter come around, you can go and have a homemade dinner while studying in a London pub; it could be your own vacation for two hours. Now the tricky question is: "Who would I go with to Penny Lane?" From my experience, I believe it would be best to go with friends. All the tables have a minimum of three seats, and how romantic is it when you have an empty seat at your table? I have done my part to give you, the reader, a sample of what Penny Lane has to offer. So if you want to escape or fly away for the day, what better way then tcfhead off to London to eat and drink at Penny Lane? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XVIII NO. 5 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 Board of Trustees approves executive pay raises F aculty a nd s tudents o utraged o ver a pproved p roposal BY BENROFFEE Pride Staff Writer After hearing Chancellor Reed's proposal, the CSU Board of Trustees voted last Tuesday, Sept. 18, to increase executive salaries for the second time this year, this time by an average of 11 percent. The approved pay raise will grant CSU presidents and various other CSU executives pay raises retroactive to July 2007, meaning that CSU executives will receive compensation equal to their new salary for the months since July on top of their immediate raises. This decision comes in spite of protest from California Faculty Association, government officials, and CSU students, whose primary concern is with the timing of these raises as the CSU budget is in upheaval, With these new rounds of raises for executives coinciding with a thinning budget and a 10 percent student fee hike, the unpopularity of this decision seems to have rekindled the tension between CSU executives and the rest of the faculty and students. CFA president Lillian Taiz, speaking on behalf of the CFA, criticized the proposal and the CSU Board of Trustees' decision at in her address to the Board at Tuesday's meeting. "Your actions today make it very clear that executive salaries are the only issues this board seems determined to address. We wish you would find the same level of determination when dealing with skyrocketing fees and overcrowded classrooms that you do when providing executives raise." Lt. Governor John Garamendi, a member of the Board by merit o fhis office, expressed concern over the proposed salary increases. "This is clearly tied to a student fee increase. I cannot think of a worse way to convey yourselves to the legislature when you are going to have ask for more money in the budget process in the coming months." Garemendi also requested that the board put off the proposed salary increases until the next Board of Trustees meeting pending passage of AB 1430 and SB 190 as law from the Governor's office. These pieces of legislation would increase the transparency of executive salary discussions and limit the amount of money executives can make for their work. In a conference call with reporters last Thursday, Sept. 20, Chancellor Reed stated that "one of the things that we're going to do.. .is set that up to allow the Governor and the Legislature to 'buy out' that fee increase."

Despite discrepancies in the reliability and accuracy of this data, the Chancellor will continue to work to close this purported salary gap, aiming to close it completely by 2010. Since the California Postsecondary Commission halted its executive salary studies based on inadequate data on CSU executive benefits, Chancellor Reed commissioned Mercer Human Resource Consultation to conduct comparative salary studies. BJJ, both in self-defense techniques and in ground submissions. At the start of the class, students warm up with simple partner exercises. From there, students learn positional control techniques, as well as various joint locks and chokes from these positions. Unlike some other martial arts, students can practice most BJJ techniques at full speed against a resisting partner, which has the advantage of giving students a much more realistic learning experience. After a fair share of practice, students get the chance to try their newly mastered moves on each other in brief sparring matches at the end of the class. Sophomore, Alex Wang, f requently attends the course and explains that he decided to t ry it out because "I had f ree time and had an interest in martial arts." When asked what he enjoyed most about the class, Alex stated that "learning to defend yourself When asked why his office chose t o commission the Mercer group instead of supply the necessary data to CPEC, the Chancellor stated that "the Mercer Group is a nationally respected organization." Chancellor Reed went on to explain that the Mercer study only does a "cash compensation analysis because it is very d ifficult to get Universities...to disclose all of their benefits." The limited scope of this study does raise important questions about the effectiveness of this study as a basis for executive compensation decisions like the one made at Tuesday's meeting. With the growing awareness of the CSU faculty, s taff, and students, it is clear that f uture executive raises will not pass without rigid scrutiny. In an e ffort headed by the California State Student Association t o involve the public in the Board's decisions, students will soon be able to apply to become one of two Student Trustees to the CSU Board of Trustees. Between new legislative regulations, budget crisis, new representation on the Board, and an unrelenting body of staff and students, the authority of the CSU Board of Trustees to approve executive compensation increases in the f uture has some new obstacles to overcome.

In addition to the actual techniques learned, Alex tells the Pride that " it's also a good workout, especially for stamina." In j ust one hour, students learn a lot of techniques that give them an edge in potentially dangerous situations.

The Packers proved their point against the Bolts in a dramatic fashion, winning on a last-minute touchdown by NFL great, Brett Favre. Favre entered the game just three away from tying Dan Marino's record of 420 career touchdowns. The Chargers attacked first when quarterback, Philip Rivers passed to tight end, Vincent Jackson for 27 yards and the touchdown, to take the 7-0 lead. Packers quarterback, Brett Favre heated up early in the second quarter, passing to wide receiver, Donald Driver for a short touchdown with 11:53 on the clock. Later in the quarter, Favre hooked up with tight end, Bubba Franks for another short touchdown pass, making Favre just one touchdown pass away from tying the all-time record. The Chargers tightened things up in the final minutes of the quarter when Rivers connected with wide receiver, Buster Davis for a 9 yard touchdown, bringing the Packers lead to only three at the half. LaDainian Tomlinson returned tQ the limelight in the third quarter, taking the lead with a 21 yard touchdown reception, maneuvering in typical LT fashion en route to the end zone. The Packers fought back with two minutes l eft in the game, as Brett Favre passed for his r ecoritying 420th career t ouchdown,' connecting with wide receiver, Greg Jennings for 57 yards and the lead. The Packers capitalized on a Philip Rivers interception, taking on some insurance with a Brandon Jackson rushing touchdown, pushing the score to 31-21. Nate Kaeding kicked a 44-yard field goal on the Chargers final drive in hopes to set up an onside kick comeback, but it wasn't enough to hold off Green Bay, who issued the Chargers their second straight loss by a score of 31-24. The Packers improved to 3-0, their best start since 2001. The Chargers record is now 1-2, as they head home to take on the 12 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 1:15p.m. on CBS.

From its modest beginnings in the fall of 1998 in Menlo Park, California, Google has had a mission: " to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Flash forward nine years, and Google is the most used search engine on the web, with more than half of the world's web-search market share. There is no doubt Google reigns supreme on the web, and with publicly traded stock hovering around the 550.00 mark, Google is clearly a monetary staple as well. One of the perks of bringing in roughly $10.6 billion a year is the ability to innovate with advancements that just might characterize the future of the web. Google re-invented email in 2004, with the release of the highly touted, Gmail which featured unprecedented spam filtering and an unheard of storage capacity that allowed users to "archive" read mail, rather than permanently deleting it.

Google Presentation is currently without some key ingredients that PowerPoint offers, such as sound, video, and animations, but remember, this is a web-based application, and it's free. Google Presentation is ideal for users who want to quickly create a presentation that will be readily available at any computer with web access. Google Presentation can also be a key tool for Macintosh users who's 30-day trial of Keynote (Macintosh's presentation software) has expired.

While still reveling in the success of the iPod, their new product the iPhone, keeps the company competitive in a lucrative, ultra fast growing and ever changing industry. The company began directly selling the iPhone June 29. iPhone seekers can also purchase the phone through AT&T. Apple's main offices are located in Cupertino, California. The company's last fiscal year grossed a whopping 19.3 billion dollars. The company incorporated in 1977 as Apple Computers. In January of this year, the company dropped the word "Computer" from their flame and simply became Apple Inc. The iPhone combines multiple uses in one unit. The cellular phone allows users to snap pictures, listen to music, send and receive both e-mails and visual voicemails. The phone also enables users to browse the internet. Unlike most cellular phones, the phone uses a virtual touch screen. Currently, the 8-Gigabyte iPhone sells for almost $400 dollars. The initial 8 GB iPhone dinged consumers $600 dollars, although it did not discourage scores of eager consumers from waiting in long lines. As a reward to it loyal buyers, the company credited $100 those who bought it for its original price. The company dropped the 4 GB version earlier this month. AT&T will continue to exclusively sell the phone until 2009 or later. AT&T offers the phone to customers with a minimum two-year contract. During September and following months, the phone ships out to foreign countries such as Germany and France. As in any industry, the iPhone faces fierce competition. Other j companies have r eal-j ized the profit capa- J bility of such a phone I and have jumped i ntoj the market to contend ! with Apple. Sam-; sung seems to be the j number one opponent I with their slim t oucH pad F700 Ultra Smart j Phone which retails around $330 dol-j lars.

Anyway... obviously, these rankings will give power to the people and we can topple some crap professors. Yeah. Right. Now all we need is a Facebook group to make the revolution official. *actual quote BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Ten out of ten college students (I actually just asked two guys in an elevator and multiplied by five) agree that college would be perfect if it weren't for classes. They put a damper on all the drinking binges and wild orgies my grandmother fears. So, let's discuss.

But that was last year and this is this year. For a larger variety of predictions I am going to tell you all about both Tim Moore's and mine, followed* by my results of simulating 25 seasons on NHL 08. The first thing I am going to talk about is the President Trophy, which goes to the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. I believe that the Detroit Red Wings are going to walk into the post season with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs because they are in the weakest division in hockey. They get to face a deflated Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets. Tim Moore lias both the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks on top of their conferences while NHL 08 had the Sabres win the trophy ten times. The Hart Trophy goes to the leagues MVP, which I feel is going to go to the same guy who won it last year, Sidney Crosby. The 20 year old Crosby put the Pittsburgh Penguins on his shoulders and carried them into the playoffs and will be doing it again. Moore believes that Tampa Bay Lightening's Vincent Lecavalier will be the leagues MVP, while NHL 08 had Atlanta Thrashers Ilya Kovalchuk winning it eight times. The Art Ross Trophy goes to the player with the most points at the end of the season. Moore and I are on the same page with this, believing that Crosby is going to runaway with the award. I feel that Crosby is going to hit the 125 mark this year with Evgeni Malkin playing on the same line with him. NHL 08 believes that Kovalchuk is going to win this award with 103 points. The Vezina goes to the top goaltender and I feel that Roberto Luongo will take this award over the NHL 08's choice of Martin Brodeur. Brodeur lost some talented players in front of him and will need to carry the New Jersey Devils in order for them to have a good season. Moore says that the award will be going to Dominik Hasek who is coming back after a great year in Detroit. But the big predictions come for the playoffs. I believe that the Ducks are going to be a much stronger team come playoff time once, yes I said once because they are coming back, Teemu Selanne.and Scott Niedermayer come back. They will be winning the Stanley Cup over the Philadelphia Flyers in 4 games. The Flyers will have room to add Peter Forsberg or some other veteran talent at the trade deadline and make a strong run in the playoffs. Moore has the Penguins winning the cup over the Red Wings, while NHL 08 has the Sabres winning the cup over the San Jose Sharks in 5 games.

Business Major HPvHpl QHBHhI �A&E THE PRIDE Tuesday; September 25, 2007 Old Viscosity Ale Jiallapxeinios BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Port Brewing brews Old Viscosity Ale in San Marcos, California. Cougars are fortunate to be associated with such a fine microbrewery. The brewery began in 1992 when Yince and Gina Marsaglia began brewing in their home. In 1993 the couple began brewing on a seven barrel system in Solana Beach. Eventually, the brewery expanded their operations to Carlsbad and San Clemente. In early 2006, the brewery purchased Stone Brewing's old facility, another local brewery in San Marcos, and increased their production for distribution purposes. Currently, the brewery can produce up to 5*000 barrels. They also have an oak barrel room for aged specialty beers such as Old Viscosity Ale. The ale's nickname, "The Big Black Nasty", sums up the distinct characteristics. The dark brown tinted 22-ounce glass bottle contains a blue and faint gray colored label. The label contains a picture of an antique truck being serviced by a faceless man. A shiny silvery cap bottles the ale with an alcohol by volume of 10 percent, twice the amount of an average beer. The strong ABV should be taken into consideration during consumption, i.e., sitting down on a chair, maybe even in a padded room. The ale has a powerful and distinguishing fragrance. The brain struggles to categorize the aroma with any learned scents in the brain's database. It almost has a sour berry smell. The beer pours with a solid two inch thick head. The ale appears to have a blood red brownish hue as the contents are emptied from the bottle to a glass. Before the ale even reaches the lips, the tongue cringes in disbelief. The ale assaults the taste buds and then infiltrates the tongue with intense flavor. The ale contains hints of chocolate and vanilla. The thick ale leaves a notable prickling sensation on the tongue. The strong ABV warms the throat as the ale passes through the mouth and into the stomach. Beer connoisseurs should enjoy the beer. Inexperienced beer consumers are forewarned. -Regardless of beer knowledge, Old Viscosity ensures a wild and thrilling ride.

METAL Silent Treatment The Bled BY TIM MOORE • Images courtesy of Sub Pop, Lyric Street and Vagrant Records The Arizona post-hardcore band is hoping to please fans with a heavier sound reminiscent of their first fulllength album, "Pass the Flask." The Bled's most anticipated release to date promises powerful vocals and heavy guitar riffs. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A source of heated regional debate in San Diego, the matter of the best Mexican food place is as divisive as it is controversial. Everybody wants to believe they know where to find the best California Burrito, but like other touchy issues, not much room for compromise exists. Located off of Carmel Mountain Road in Rancho Bernardo, Jalapenos deserves nothing less than eternal praise as the "Mecca" of the California Burrito. Although the journey to Rancho Bernardo is long and arduous, this pilgrimage is an absolute necessity for any true California Burrito connoisseur. While most San Diegans are biologically equipped to handle Mexican food with little discomfort, the average eater, native or foreign, faces life-threatening challenges when eating at the run-of-the-mill taco shop. Fortunately for the maladapted, Jalapenos cooks their food with vegetable oil instead of lard, allowing the stomach to greet the California Burrito with peaceful adoration. The Burrito (yes, it needs to be capitalized) itself represents the pinnacle of Burrito craftsmanship. Off the menu, the Jalapeflos California Burrito includes your standard carne asada, fries, cheese, and guacamole, but I suggest holding the guacamole as it does tend to overwhelm the other vital flavors in the burrito here. From the excellent array of salsas you may want to go with the simple red hot sauce. Unlike the harsh and unforgiving hot sauce of most other taco shops, Jalapenos provides their customer with a smooth and balanced blend of flavor and spice that complements a California Burrito unlike any other salsa to date. When ready, the composed and neat exterior of the burrito deceives the eager customer, who at this point is completely unaware of the chaotic splendor within. The first bite breaches the calm exterior and unleashes torrents of incredible flavors. In a daze, the remainder of the burrito quickly disappears, the final bite as glorious as the first. In such a volatile and competitive field, the search for the best Cali Burrito is unending. The California Burrito at Jalapenos may not be the best; I just haven't found a better one yet. H ALO 3: THE ONE RING T O RULE THEM A LL BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer It has many names to it - the killer-app, the epic saga, or the best 15 seconds in video gaming. It only takes one word for people to weigh in exactly what the title means - amazing. The third and final installment of the gaming saga that is Halo for the Xbox 360 hit shelves at midnight at various retailers across the nation. Many people lined up outside Gamestops and EB Games as early as 9 o'clock to be among the first to get their copies. "Halo 3 is much more than a video game release—it's the biggest entertainment event of the year," said Peter Moore, the former vice president for Microsoft gaming and interactive division. As part of the promotion for the game, Pontiac and Microsoft teamed up to give gamers a chance to play the game in San Francisco and New York on IMAX screens earlier this month. Participants received copies of the game prior to its launch date. The story of Halo centers around Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN117, or Master Chief for short, and the war between the United Nations Space Command and an alien army called the Covenant. In the climax of the previous installment, Master Chief has stowed away aboard a Covenant vessel that is headed for earth, which sets up the final chapter. Halo is this generation's touchstone for pop culture in the same way that Star Wars and Lord of the Rings has for earlier generations. Earlier this past summer, a few gamers were treated to an online beta test to give a glimpse of what people will be in store for - Mongoose ATVs, new multi-player maps, and character remodels. Some of the other new additions included will be bigger, badder weapons, bubble shields, 8 new vehicles, an equipment Forge system, 4-player co-op campaigns, new levels, and a high-definition 1080p output to name a few. In 2004, the launch of Halo 2 sold over two million copies on its first 24 hours generating roughly $125 million in revenue. Pundits have expected that number to rise to over $200 million due to the three editions that were made available to consumers ranging anywhere from $59.99 to $129.99. m 1 il ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡i •Ji t t ^ •' S« 11 ¡11 A % i iiili M M ^smm m 1 i___ l __ _ - \ Image courtesy ofMicrosoft �Transformers: Pitting tla "OH SX6# YEAH" in BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer I knew things were going to go well when an adorable little usher said, "Please DO NOT ask us to turn down the sound, because we CAN NOT. This is IMAX." Well, alright then. I lost faith in the first 30 seconds, with a smarmy premise that actually includes a deep male voice saying, "But we were already too late." You expect him to say, "DOT DOT DOT," just in case the audience didn't get the suspense. But then something amazing happened. Asteroid-type objects started hurtling across the screen and the theater started shaking from the sound. Within three minutes, it blew my mind. I'll give you an overview of the movie and then we can talk significantly more about IMAX, which was the important part. The kid from Even Stevens on the Disney Channel is all grown up, gets his first car, and then finds himself embroiled in a robotic civil war from outer space which has finally spread to Earth. It involves a chase with a police car and a Camero, which I never thought I would see outside of the 1980s, and lines like, "It's you and me, Megatron." There's also a totally unrealistic hot blonde systems analyst. Every 15 year old boy in the audience was like, "HEY! She's wearing a mesh shirt!" I found myself at several points humming, "Hiiiiighway to the DANGER ZONE" since that was just about the only thing missing from the cheesy writing and crap soundtrack. But man, I would see it a second time and maybe even a third time just for the special effect^. I thought everyone was joking about the beauty of IMAX, but there were Fall TV line-up honestly moments that I felt like I was running for my life with the characters orflying in the Air Forcé. Tlfo pomt of view flying scenes were unbelievable, and the part at the beginning with the base and the.. .well, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Suffice to say, the movie won't be winning any Academy Awards, but that's not the film's purpose. It can be summed up best in the words of the friend who accompanied me, "Dude, that was amazing. But if I had written it, I would have just had them credit me as 'Anonymous.'" Entertainment outside of school BYJACLYNCARBAJAL! Pride Staff Writer If you're a college student, fall is about one thing: the fall semester. Life f or the next few months takes a sideline to homework, essays, classes and reading» Between your busy schedule, it would be nice to see a few good shows here and there, right? If you're like us, getting into a new show is a commitment for an entire season, maybe even a whole series. To save you from wasting your time on a show that gets canceled midseason or you get tired of, we've taken the liberty of assigning a guide for the average student. ÜH ¡I teil v Ib»r i # # ## 9 P.M. - Heroes Mondays are never fun, but the show that makes them a bit more enjoyable is back. The second season began Monday, but one episode shouldn't set you back too far, considering the network promises a whole new adventure. The show is a modern take on the Marvel comics of yesterday and the cast is hot. 9 P.M. • Scrubs We were going to recommend The Office but I wanted to give Scrubs a shout out as well. Then I thought, why not both. The Office starts at 9 pm and Scrubs immediately follows I # 10 P.M. - Journeyman And a new one from NBC right afterwards, if you don't want to touch the remote after Heroes. A little bit mystery, little sci-fi, half a tablespoon of romance, and you have a show about a journalist who keeps getting sucked into the past and changing the things he finds there. But why?!? Hopefully, it doesn't get canceled before we find out. at 9:30 prir both shows are hilarious, consist of a relatively young cast and don't consist of a hard to follow plot line, which is always good if you can't commit to every episode, every week. Images courtesy ofNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox networks. 9 P.M. - House It's Tuesday. You're already asking if it's Friday and you find yourself more and more sarcastic. This returning hit series is just what the doctor ordered. It's dry. It's edge. It's completely different than any of the other doctor dramas on primetime. In addition, new cast members left and right should keep even followers of the show on their toes. 9 P.M. Moonlight This has the potential to be a disaster. Hot guy is a vampire and a private investigator (Angel, anyone?). We think it probably has a 50/50 chance of getting canceled, but...what if it turns out to be really good? 10 P.M.-Cane After your homework break between 9 and 10, return to the screen for a family drama with more than a few twists. The Duque family runs a rum and sugar business and fights against outsiders and each other to keep it solvent. Featuring Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno and Jimmy Smits - the show should be incredible. Women's Murder Club We should put both these shows in those inflatable sumo suits and make them wrestle. Unlike Moonlight, this show has some tried and true TV actresses, well, solving murders. It's also based on a best selling book series. Unless the.network hires dry witless writers, we think this one could be around a while. 8 P.M. - Pushing Daisies Three days into the week. You're procrastinating. You come across a show you've never heard of, Pushing Daisies. Set to begin October 3rd, it's one of the critically acclaimed shows of the season. It's about a guy who can bring back the dead momentarily with the touch of his hand. It sounds interesting enough to give it a chance. 9 P.M. Desperate Housewives Sunday night is a saving grace to anybody who enjoys the drama f of Wisteria Lane. If you haven't ' watched an episode of Desperate Housewives yet, it isn't too late to get started. The show is full of scandal, sex, mystery and satirical humor. Girls love it and 9P.M. With Bionic Woman, another critic's darling, and Private Practice, the offshoot in what will soon become a Grey's Anatomy empire, you're going to have to pick for yourself. 10 P.M.-Dirty Sexy Money The name alone should draw you in. But in addition, it's got an awesome cast, and a bunch of rich people trying to get away with doing whatever they want and failing at it. so do guys; Trust us. We know a few who've been brave enough to give it a siftt. While this is by no means a complete list, and you may choose to follow your own crazy desire, we here at the Pride have given you a TV jumpingoff point. Now go watch, grasshopper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While own President Haynes is among those executives that recently received a pay raise, she is not the target of any of the CFA's criticism, unlike many other CSU presidents. Citing fraudulent spending on compensation for executives as well as unreliable data to j ustify pay raises, the CFA, Senator Yee, Assemblyman Portantino, and students plan to convene at the State Capitol to urge Governor Schwarzenegger to sign A.B. 1430 and S.B. 190 into law, legislation that will considerably reform current executive compensation policy in the CSU.

(Above) Students get signatures for a petition demanding the release of the Jena 6. As racial tension in America continues to build, students on campus voiced their opinions on the issue of racism at a protest on campus held Monday, Oct. 1. This protest was in accordance with a national student walk out to support the Jena 6 of Jena, L a. The protest's purpose was to raise awareness and get individuals to sign a petition to t he governor of Louisiana demanding the freedom of the Jena 6. In the town of Jena, La., with a population of less than 3,000, the whole story began with an incident regarding a tree. The most common version of the story is that an A frican American student requested permission to sit under an oak tree where white students usually congregated. On the morning a fter he sat there, t hree nooses were found hanging f rom a tree, a symbol for the Ku Klux Klan. According to alternative news sources, including an article carried by K FMB Channel 8, several Jena school administrators say that the tree was never strictly used by Caucasian students, and there S tudents get R.A.D. ASI and Women's Center sponsor University Police Rape Aggression Defense BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer The Rape Aggression Defense System r eturns to CSUSM this October. ASI and the Women's Center are sponsoring the first twenty students that RSVP, and there is no cost for r eturning students. The program focuses on empowering women, and prepares them to b e aware of their surroundings. R.A.D. System's objective is " to develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to t he woman who is attacked." This course for women spans over 4 sessions: October 9, 11, 16, 18. Each session r uns f rom 4 p.m.-7 p.m. This semester's instructors are Officer McLean, Officer Panza, CSO rep. Casey Burns, Student Health rep. Cathy Nguyen, and CSUSM Foundation rep. Sarah Derho. Officer McLean explained, "We teach concepts as tools for women to put into their toolbox. We o ffer them choices, should they ever be faced with an assault situation." According to R.A.D Systems (http:// www.rad-systems.com), over 250,000 women have taken this course. Lawrence N. Nadeau founded the program in 1989, and since then the program has grown to be the largest organization of its kind. A s Officer Panza explained, CSUSM has offered the course since the summer of 1996. Instructors have taught the course to students, teachers and faculty here, as well at other institutions. CSUSM graduate student Lissa Lim took the course in 2004. Sharing her experience, Lissa explains that she learned to be more assertive. " I learned a lot and gained confidence in my ability to defend myself. It was great! Each woman learned that it doesn't matter if you're big or small. We were all able to use what we had learned, successfully." Lissa also described the simulations at the end of the course in which, instructors wearing padded suits would act out attack scenarios while students practiced defending themselves. The course emphasizes awareness, prevention, and basic defense techniques. Officer McLean stated, "we teach individuals to heighten their awareness level."

Followingthe spread o fthe news spread amongst UVA residents and CSUSM students throughout the week, over the weekend THE PRIDE of $29, 775 from the Board of Trustees despite "a resounding vote of no confidence from the faculty (78% voted "no confidence"), a student petition for no confidence in the president, and revelations that he has used his position to help hunters shoot endangered species in Africa." Similarly, President of Sonoma State, Ruben Arminana, got a $28,113 raise in spite of a "no confidence vote" vote by threequarters of the faculty. Fresno State University President, John Welty, recipient of a $35,011 raise, received his raise just after his school lost a pivotal gender discrimination lawsuit, costing Fresno State $5.85 million. The report also accuses the CSU Administration of "golden parachute" deals, which involves generously compensating departed administrators even after they stop working, otherwise known as "no show jobs". Former CSU Monterey Bay President left his job in 2005 for a six-figure job at UNESCO and was left on the CSU payroll for a year after his departure, earning $157,932 for literally no work. Even after executive compensation reforms, "retiring CSU Dominguez Hills President James Lyons received a check for $103,460 on his way to a new job in Maryland" according to CFA's report. The CFA also attacked the CSU executive compensation policy from a different angle, identifying discrepancies in the salary comparison study that suggested a 46% salary lag for CSU executives. This study, kndwn now as the Mercer study, formed the basis for Chancellor Reed's proposal at the last Board of Trustees meeting, a proposal that ultimately resulted in the latest round of executive pay raises. The CFA, with the help of Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, recently called for the CSU to disclose the entire Mercer report. They also released a report critical of the parts of the study that are public, claiming, "at least three issues raise serious questions about the conclusions drawn by Mercer and acted upon by CSU officials." Among these issues, the report cites some factors not calculated in the Mercer study, including the monthly $1,000 car allowance and the $50,000-$60,000 yearly housing allowance which is more than some CSU faculty salaries. This evidence leads the CFA and others to question thé accuracy of the perceived salary lag. This report also identifies the unnecessary confidentiality ofthe report, which the CSU Administration and Mercer identify as "trade secrets". Meanwhile, the CFA and Assemblyman Portantino maintain, "compensation surveys should be transparent, not proprietary." Assemblyman Portantino said, "it is absolutely absurd that a public institution refuses to provide information to the public they are serving and I am calling on them to, once and for all, release the entire report." The Chancellor's O ffice has not o fficially responded to the latest reports and criticisms, but he has maintained his support of the data found in the Mercer study. a j ury of all-white after two hours of deliberation. The verdict has since been overturned by a court of appeals, which stated that he should never have been tried as an adult. A police r eport was never f iled for the noose incident, and t he students in question received p unishment t hrough the school's j udiciary system, but were not expelled. According t o several news sources, some members of the c ommunity agree with the school's s uperintendent that the nooses were j ust a p rank. Reactions throughout the country have been varied. Over 20,000 people marched in Jena to protest racial injustice. Knowledge of the situation in Jena, and response to it, had remained small here on campus until quite recently.

In Vista, an inquiry about holding a Mexican Independence Day celebration was met by this comment from the head of the chamber of commerce: "Absolutely not. This would be divisive. Can you imagine how the Minutemen will react?" The Escondido City Council voted to ban renting living space to illegal immigrants, a law later overturned in the courts after two million dollars were spent on legal fees. "I found out [about Jena] through YouTube about six months ago and after taking a class on social injustice in the judicial system, I researched more about the Jena 6 and realized how the theory in that class pertained to an actual event...I just couldn't sit there when injustice went on," said campus protest organizer Diana Wong. an announcement appeared on the inside doors of the UVA stating that the alleged ban on Harry Potter was a hoax. According to UVA staff, the announcement of the ban was designed to ignite student interest in a program on banning books and censorship. According to Mike Sapp, treasurer of the Resident Hall Council, "It was a hoax just to get people interested; because nothing else worked... it had been planned before school started." Freshman David McFarlane, a UVA resident, said, "It's defi- nitely a way to get attention, especially the way they made the letter look official. But I'm sure it pissed some people off." Censorship is a fairly solemn subject. In this case, it spells out an effective advertising opportunity for the UVA. filli llllllllllllil mereiai $mmptí$m I right t o jreject 'my adventeii^v -1 ~* / Pride ; is- " publist^; weekly ; m ^ e&days during a eademlcfpk, í>&frÍbiK I l e Frille Cal State San Mateos Xwm Valley l is: É i i l l ck mmmm ali i I li: Email: ¡lili pñé^cmmMn http://www. thecsmmpride. com Advertising Email: ^mtW'im^ 1 Burglary.

The Chargers needed to set things straight Sunday. Coming off of two tough losses on the road, a home match-up against a mediocre Kansas City Chiefs team was supposed breathe fife into the struggling Chargers, and give fans something to cheer about. Qualcomm Stadium was buzzing with anticipation prior to Sunday's start. The support was greeted as early as the Chargers posted the first ten points of the game. With an early Nate Kaeding field goal and an impressive LaDainian Tomlinson rushing touchdown, made possible by a Philip Rivers pass to Wide Receiver, Vincent Jackson for 39 yards. The Chiefs got on the board early in the second with a 21-yard field goal by Dave Rayner. With 6:55 left in the second, Nate Kaeding kicked season best, 51-yard field goal, to improve the Chargers lead to 13-3. Kaeding struck again at the end of the second quarter with yet another field goal, this time for 38 yards. With Kaeding's field goal, the Chargers took a 10 point lead into half time, appeasing fans until Kansas City struck hard in the third quarter. Up to date SOCCER*^ RESULTS* Just minutes after Chiefs kicker, Dave Rayner kicked a 41-yard field goal, Chiefs quarterback, Damon Huard passed to tight end, Tony Gonzalez for a 51 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 16-16. The Chiefs took the lead with 11:46 left in the fourth quarter, as Huard passed to rookie wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, for 51 yards and the touchdown. Philip Rivers cracked under pressure with seven minutes to go in the game, giving up a fumble that was recovered by rookie cornerback, Tyron Brackenridge for a 50 yard defensive touchdown. The Chargers failed to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game, making the final score Chiefs 30, Chargers 16. The loss pushed the Chargers to a record of 1-3, and left fans questioning the legitimacy of their new head coach, Norv Turner. Fans went as far as to chant "MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!" late in the game, in reference to former coach, Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired shortly after last season. Schottenheimer led the Chargers to an NFL best 14-2 record last season, but was shown the door after a series of disagreements with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith.

Look no further Carlsbad coast offers wine tasting as a c heap alternative to ¿the b ar h opping scene - BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer I do not think of myself as much of a wine connoisI seur. Although I do enjoy wine I am more interested in hanging out with friends and enjoying the experience. When my friend asked me a few weeks ago to try.a wine tasting in downtown Carlsbad I was suspicious. In my opinion, Carlsbad represents a spot for a few pints at the pub rather than a cultured wine tasting. In order to appease my friend and try something new I went anyway. What surprised me most was how unpretentious the experience was. I always imagined wine tasting to correspond with words like; complex, smoky yet fruity, and appealing. My friend took me to Witch Creek Winery on Grand Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The comical man behind the bar was cheerful and unassuming. He created a welcoming atmosphere for the knowledgeable wine drinker and novice alike. He offered descriptions along with a recipe for every bottle we purchased. The wine selection wàs predominately red although there were a few whites selected, along with one cider. Walking inside the winery was like being transported toNorthern California. Walking inside the winery was like being transported to Northern California. The wood flooring added an earthy atmosphere. Witch Creek makes their own wines and is a surprisingly f un and inexpensive experience with friends.

Upon entering the winery, we felt an immediately warm and relaxed setting. The back of the store was lined with a selection of various wines and gifts, while the periphery wall was lined with domestic and imported beers. Leading out to the back patio was the bar surrounded with tables and chairs thai created an appealing atmosphere. The back patio was open and included a fountain that transported the clientele to a restaurant in the South of France. The Wine Spot offered a variety of tasting options. Fifteen dollars gave us a selection of six themed wines and six dollars for three house wines and three dollars gave us a choice of three select beers. The winery also offered pairings of cheese and BBQ with the fifteen-dollar tasting. A woman behind the bar offered us the selections of tastings and gave an explanation for each wine. The winery also provided a tasting list to make notes for future reference. The ambiance was equally approachable for seasoned wine tasters as well as beginners.

And according to Yesenia Diaz, president of the Oaxaca Student Organization (OSO) here on campus, it is their mission to share it within the community. "We do more focusing on our culture than advocating," she said. "We want to celebrate our traditions." The idea started from Carmelino Cruz, a '05 CSUSM alum and friend of Diaz, and in September of last year, the Student Life and Leadership Offices approved the organization. Now a year later, the group has approximately 15 active members as well as a handful of supporters here on campus. The OSO seeks to provide students of Oaxacan origin with encouragement and a sense of unity in pursuing their college educations and participating in the community as well as inviting others to learn about Oaxacan customs and traditions. Ildeberto Ojeda, who is a freshman here at CSUSM and member of the OSO, is an Oaxacan native and saw the opportunity in joining the OSO. "It's a community that encourages pursuing education and opening doors and inviting others to join as well," he said The OSO holds cultural events and takes part in the Hispanic festivities much like other Latino groups such as M.E.Ch.A and the Ballet Folklórico Tierra Caliente. Their first event was in collaboration with Main St. Oceanside that celebrated Dia de los Muertos in October of 2006 and proved to be a success in getting the group more public recognition. Other celebrations include the celebration of the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 on November 20th as well as holidays that relate to the Oaxacan culture like Guelaguetza and the birthday of Benito Juarez who was a President of Mexico and a native from Oaxaca. "Everyone is welcome to join," said Diaz. "We want to keep our traditions and celebrate them on campus and share them within the community." The OSO meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Library in room 2413 and welcomes anyone interested in joining.

A captivating performance by Kimberly Dark will be held October 10th in the Arts building room 240. Dark's lecture/ performance entitled "Stripped and Teased: Scandalous Stories with Subversive Plots" is a new style of lecturing. Her 'stand-up' storytelling has audiences buzzing with excitement. Dark's entertaining technique enables listeners to enjoy exploring topics such as gender and race.

BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer com, one of America's leading e-commerce websites announced the sale of Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free MP3s for the same price, and cheaper than the heavy hitters in the digital music market; most notably iTunes. iTunes, along with the majority of other digital music providers implement a tactic deemed necessary by many of the major record labels, called Digital Rights Management, or more casually, DRM. DRM is a method of copy protection that defends against the unauthorized duplication of a file. The most infamous implementation is that of the iTunes Music Store. iTunes uses MPEG-4 AAC DRM encoding that locks files into the iTunes player itself, and disallows users to play tracks purchased in the iTunes Music Store on any portable device other than Apple's own iPod. There are simple workarounds (i.e. burning the purchased tracks to a CD-R and reimporting), but none are as elementary as simply being able to freely move the files around. Amazon, who is among the e-commerce elite and one of the first major companies to sell goods online, has the right vision on the sale of digital music.

You know how I can tell? Because it involves a whole lot of aesthetic preparation and is usually quite p ainful. Oh, and because my grandmother thinks it's hilarious. Yeah, that's the whole checklist, so we're good to go. And so you know in advance, anything I use as an example has either happened to me or a close friend. I'm here to prepare you for the real world, and it's rough. Here's what used to take place in the Savey household. I take a shower. I shave my legs, because you never know. I get dressed, put on some make up, try to fix my hobo haircut, and go have coffee/dinner/wrist breaking skating incident. But no more. A fter the 14th guy who stared at me blankly because he didn't understand my jokes, I've got a new plan, that I've already implemented with moderate success. First of all, make it lunch. Then you don't have to worry about two horrific possibilities: being stuck with a loser face all night OR home by 8pm and stuck watching a madefor-TV movie while your grandmother laughs at you. Lunch is a deciding ground for whether an individual is worth post-5 p.m. hours. There's some quality TV on this fall and you don't want to agree to miss it until you're sure. And by sure, I mean you've already made it through lunch without him mentioning his ex obsessively, or finding out that he has a collection of Beanie Babies. Yeah, they were cute. W HEN I WAS 10. Second, I no longer get dressed and put on make up. I pick my battle gear and put on my war paint. Yes, dating was adorable and innocent in high school and maybe, if he was a real looker, you held hands by the end of the night. Now, you could end up with a guy who whips it out in the middle of Wii Golf and stares at you expectantly. Last but not least, be c areful with the hair. I personally recommend making it as large as possible. If they're intimidated by the plumage, then you will have gotten rid of another one who possesses the spine of a jelly fish. I personally use a p unk rock crest for the first date. It has a subtle, "You wanna play size? Mine's bigger," feeling about it, even if it's j ust hair. And for the love of all that is holy: Do. Not. Go. Skating. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer On March 20, six guys with nothing better to do than make predictions about this season voiced their opinions. These six guys were Joshua Sandoval, Jeremy Albers, David Church, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn and Kyle Trembley. Now that the season is over, it is time to see how everyone did as well as make my predictions for the postseason. I'm going to start with the Easy Pick Award. Sandoval, Albers and I all predicted the obvious, Jake Peavy, for winning the "Cy Young" award. Peavy, as expected, carried the Padres to the playoffs as well as leads the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Peavy is most likely going to miss out of the M VP because he is not an everyday player, but his batting stats should be considered, as he had key hits for his team when the rest of the team w as lagging. The "Good Call" award goes to Trembley, who chose the Cleveland Indians to be the surprise of the season. The Indians were able to bounce back to form this season a fter failing to make the playoffs since 2001. The biggest surprise of the Indians was their battling the Boston Red Sox for best record headed into the final weekend. The "What-Were-You-Thinking" award goes to everyone in the National League and American League M VP's. Prince Fielder and Alex Rodriquez should both walk away with all the first place votes. Making our predictions about Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, David Ortiz and Vladimir Guerrero look terrible. The " Guts" award goes to Albers, and I because we're the only two not to pick Johan Santana for the "AL Cy Young" award. Although Santana will be in the r unning for the award, I don't see how,he will walk away with it. Albers' pick of C.C. Sabathia is looking good with Sabathia 5th in ERA and strikeouts and tied for 2nd in wins. My pick of John Lackey is also looking good despite a September slump. Lackey still leads the A L in ERA, tied with Sabathia in wins and is 10th in strikeouts. But with the playoffs beginning, it's time to make a few more predictions. In the A L, I believe that t he New York Yankees will remain hot and w alk away f rom t he Division Series in six g ames over t he I ndians. I w ill stick with my original prediction and have t he L os Angeles A ngels of A naheim finally b eat the Red Sox with Lackey out-pitching Josh Beckett in both g ames t o w in t he series 4-1. T he Angels will continue t o succeed against the Yankees and will walk t o t he World Series. In t he N L, I feel that the Chicago Cubs have more to prove than the young Arizona Diamondbacks, and will win the series in five games. I am going to go against my preseason prediction of the New York Mets w inning it all. I believe that the Padres will out-pitch the Mets hitting, and advance in five games. Then we will see the Billy Goat C urse go into play and watch M addux and Peavy dominate the Cubs to advance to the World Series. A s much as I don't want to say this, if the Angels do play the Padres, I do expect the Angels to r un all over the Padres. The Angels will walk with the trophy when it is all said and done, and Chone Figgins will be crowned the MVP. All comments can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

This month, audiences will finally be able to see one such film. Based on a true story, "Into the Wild" is Sean Penn's film adaptation of a book by the same name written by novelist Jon Krakauer. "Into the Wild" is about the real life adventures of Christopher McCandless (played masterfully and intuitively by Emile Hirsch), a 1990 Emory University graduate who donated his entire savings of $24,000 to OXFAM and left his life and family behind to journey across North America into Alaska. Having assumed the alias "Alexander Supertramp," Alex meanders impulsively across the U.S. and even into Mexico* ultimately ending up in Alaska, Hirsh depicts the whimsical and freespirited nature of Alex with unrivaled honesty, and through his portrayal, endears the audience, who comes to understand Alex's reverence for the beauty of the wild. Hirsch's portrayal is genuine as he adapts to the changes Alex undergoes within the story. The entire story matures as Alex discovers himself and comes to understand what joy is, capturing the message of Christopher McCandless' story. However, it is not the depiction of Alex alone that warrants "Into the Wild" such praise. Do not be mistaken in thinking that this film is only about man's escape to nature. The heart of the film connects Image courtesy tif Paramount Vintage Left, Emilie Hirsch playing Christopher McCandless/Alexander Supertramp parts ways with Hal Holbrook playing Ron Franz in a California desert. humanity with nature in a dynamic way, emphasizing the importance of both relationships as components of happiness. Sean Penn impressively develops the complexity of Alex's character by striking an important balance between Alex's adoration of nature and the relationships he develops with the people he encounters along the way. The cinematography and photography provide a majestic backdrop for Alex's travels, generating a sanctuary for Alex's escape from his dysfunctional family, the material fixations of contemporary America, and ritualistic living. His encounters in the wild are captivating and moving.

The Theater Communication Group (TCG) is an organization that helps promote live theater in the community. Their mission is to introduce theater to the general public, especially to those not normally drawn to the arts. In 2005, TCG teamed up with the Association of Performing Arts Service Organizations to create "The Free Night of Theater" program. This year, 25 to 30 communities will be participating in the program. That is up from the 16 communities that participated in 2006. There are free tickets available for 14 productions in San Diego County. Anyone interested can reserve tickets by going to www.freenightoftheater.net. The website also includes all the productions available, their descriptions, and their venues. The Christian Youth Theater (CYT) for Kids at Mission Hills Theatre in San Marcos will participate in the program. "This is our first time participating in the program and we are looking forward to its success. CYT offers wholesome entertainment for the entire family," said Cathie Stanner, Managing Director of CYT. The theater will present 'Seussical', a musical based oil the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss. The production -will take place at the CYT Theater in San Marcos on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.. Some other productions are: "The Turn of the Screw", "MUERTOS: A Day of the Dead Play", and "Cadenza: Mozart's Last Years" in San Diego. Other participating cities include Chula Vista, Solana Beach, Escondido, and El Cajon. College students are one of the groups targeted by the Free Night of Theater program. Live theater does not typically draw in the young crowd but with free ticket offerhope is that fact will soon begin to fade. Some product i o ns are great for the entire family. Others involve scandal and murder. Some are timeless classics while others promise a good laugh. A night at the theater could also make for a romantic date - she doesn't need to know the tickets were free.

Thus, places serving alcohol became known as speakeasies. Music and dancing flourished in the underground scene. The packaging catches the eye with sleek and sophisticated colors and designs. The cardboard container, holding six 12 ounce brown tinted glass beer bottles, depicts a couple decked out in flashy clothes entering what is most likely a speakeasy during Prohibition. A simple dark city skyline fills the rest of the available space. The bottles themselves have a pair of white eyes that are striking. The single set of eyes are placed on the upper portion of the bottle. The big brother eyes appear to be watching the consumer of the ale as most people probably felt during Prohibition. The dark bottles are capped with bold white caps with the brewery's name written across the top. The caps contain an ale with a 6.1 percent alcohol by volume. The American style amber ale pours smooth with a half inch thick head. The ale has a pleasant aroma similar to that of a garden on an early Sunday morning. It shocks the mouth first with a bold mint like taste and finishes relatively calm. Thg ale has caramel malts a ndroid hops, giving it a complexity that encpjurages the jnmcf to explore the ale.

Within one years time, the brewery tripled production in 1998. In 2000, the brewery began to bottle their brews for retail. This created a need for a larger facility and in 2001, the brewery moved to a larger building and doubled their capacity once again. The company remains independently owned and operated. The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution brought about Prohibition. Prohibition of alcohol, commonly known as the Dry Law, lasted from 1920 to 1933. There were approximately 1,300 American breweries before Prohibition. Only 126 breweries survived Prohibition. During Prohibition, underground alcohol sales continued.

Most of us now eat the infamous Top Ramen or, if you decide to get a little crazy, you might just splurge for fast food. Tom's Family Fun Restaurant #22 is located on San Marcos Boulevard, right across the street from San Marcos Edwards Cinema. Once again CSUSM students luck out with another great restaurant located qlpse tq the university. Depending pn h \pgruyou are, there a r^SiallFto large meals ranging frdfti $3.99 to $8.99. Tom's menu has a lot of variety ranging from Mexican cuisine to the all-American burger. What interested me the most about this restaurant is the inside dining area. It has the old setting of a 1950's dinner, but with a modern twist. In old fashioned restaurants, the waiter or waitress would come to you, but at Tom's you order at the front. To me, that is better, so when you are all stuffed, you don't have to worry about the bill. Finally, the infamous question yet again is, "Who do I go to Tom's with?" That is an easy answer, readers. The answer is anyone. You can go with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or just go out for a coffee with your classmate. Tom's- Restaurant i s-a very relaxed environment with no karaoke nights or any events. What Tom's brings to San Marcos is its convenience for any one of their customers. Whether it is a quick eat with t he use of their drive-thru or having a three-hour meal with your best friend, Tom's Family Fun Restaurant brings the comfort to you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While student and faculty a ffairs command attention with relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not always receive t he same degree of consideration. One of the primary concerns brought up to President Haynes centered on an overall budget shortage across the various s taff departments. As a result o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing an inability for salary growth (in-range progression), even as they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound the issue, departments cannot open up new positions to help delegate responsibilities to meet the demands of a rapidly growing campus.

"It's really interesting where rumors start," said President Haynes. University hour also became a topic of interest at the forum. "I'm personally frustrated with how University Hour is turning out," said Senior Felipe Zanartu. He believes the limited time makes it difficult to plan anything. He also notices various campus organizations scheduling events at the same time. President Haynes defended the s hift from the five-day a week University Hour to the now bi-weekly setup as a compromise for each side. "Last fall when we started five days a week, there were a fair amount of students who were really unhappy with the classes that couldn't be scheduled. So I administratively made an executive decision to t ry to protect University Hour [by having it] two days a week and also provide student the access to classes they needed." During the forum, Haynes even received a question through student text messaging. The student expressed a desire for a student union on campus. A student union is currently in preliminary planning and on a fundraising priority list. As a stretch goal, Haynes would like to break ground for a student union for CSUSM's twentieth anniversary in 2010 but as of now, nothing is official. Student Christina Ahmadpour asked President Haynes what reputation she would like CSUSM to have that could distinguish this campus f rom others. President Haynes explained, "we already hear students talking about how this is a smaller campus, a friendlier campus, our faculty know students and care about them." Because the campus is only seventeen years old, President Haynes added that many of the academic programs need time to grow before they can receive more recognition. The administration hopes to continue forums at least once a semester with the potential of more depending on President Haynes' availability. Any students eager to participate in the next forum should keep an eye out for future forums coming soon. for in-range progression and other salary increases for s taff."

Kenosha, Wisconsin �In Community and World Literary today's technology Series Presents: Still deciding which gadget William Luvaas Students and faculty enjoy a reading from to buy? This may help. award winning contemporary author BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Oct. 4, CSUSM's Community and World Literary Series hosted a literature reading by author William Luvaas. Luvaas read some of his Ht-J erary work to a attentive audience of both students and faculty members. Words like "contemporary," "in your face," and "cutting edge" can describe Luvaas' style and still, there is so much more to the stories he creates. For the event, Luvaas read a short story from his book, "A Working Man's Apocrypha". The story, "A Season of Limb Fall", chronicles the eccentric events in a different Southern California than the one with which we familiarize. One such event involves a senile elderly woman arid her yippy dog being ripped into the air by a twister. The dog later turns up alive in a tree. Where else other than a literary reading could anyone really appreciate words like "alivening" and "kapockety"? How else would a "Be Sure Doggie Composter" make sense? Clearly the work of William Luvaas needs more than admiration, it makes you do a double take. Tornadoes, life threatening floods, and self-generating computers all exist in the fictitious world of Luvaas, Not only does this alternate reality intrigue any reader willing to give it a chance, it also has heart. The chkractei-is of "A Working Man's Apocrypha" are as loveable as they are eccentric and as flawed as they are remarkably genuine. Something about a literary reading brought out these elements in a way walking through a bookstore could never accomplish. Literary readings may not seem like the ideal social event on a Thursday night for college students. However, as someone who shared that same opinion in the past, I strongly recommend it. Hearing an author read their own writing aloud gives the audience much more than words on paper. The art of storytelling is an element that readers can't replicate. The next Community and World Literary Series event will showcase readings from K. Silem Mohammad on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. For more information visit http://www.csusm. edu/cwls/ A g uide t o t he n ewest a nd s leekest i n t echnology BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer In this day and age, having some piece of Bluetooth technology or HDTV has become almost as important as having your automobile to get to school.

Sponsored by the LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI Women's Center the "Coming Out Monologues" will be held October 11th at 7p.m. in the Clarke Field House. According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors of the event, the title was inspired from the famous play "The Vagina Monologues". Manning said the difference between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out Monologues" is that this is not a play, instead it is a collection of speakers talking about their experiences with "coming out". Another inspiration toward organizing this event is the date it will be held. October is known as the LGBT history month and October 11th is National Coming Out Day. Not only will this be an opportunity for the audience to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand how the community handles talking about the subject for the first time. There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will be coming from Massachusetts one of them will speak from a transgender perspective and the other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the CSUSM community. Living in a heterosexual world is not easy for non-heterosexual individuals to talk about the topic freely. Most speakers tell their stories about acceptance in a heterosexual society. Although the performance is about the LGBT community everyone is welcome. "I expect the audience to walk away with a sense of understanding and learn new ideas about the subject" said Manning. �L / A l vJ XV FEATURES J L /LJ ± THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 9, 2007 te we unoreDiister. net e s e * h ed Website of ALahaRi BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer , a 1 a u Cleaning up Organize your household chores •forFree! Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is your place a mess because you can't compile an efficient chore list? The people at ChoreBuster.net. have devised an innovative web solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that, in effect, makes everyone happy. Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website. Step One: "Enter in people and chores." A fter registering, the main user inputs the names and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options include the percentage of chores that the given person is capable of doing. The advanced options include the capability to limit chores on certain days based on work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides the option for users to input vacation dates, which excludes the given user from the schedule for the time in which he or she is away. Step Two: "Specify how hard/ undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done." A fter inputting all personal 0 Enter In people and chores Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done 0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin information, users next create a list of all the chores necessary. Users input the chore's name, how often the chore should be done, and the chore's rating. ChoreBuster's rating system allows users to rate the difficulty and undesirability of a given chore based on a point system that includes "Nothing (0), Easy (1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3), Above Normal (4), Hard (5), Extreme (7), and Insane(14)." Step Three: "ChoreBuster Automatically Generates a fair schedule of chores." ChoreBuster makes sense of this feature on their website, "when you assign a rating to a chore, it means that chore is worth a certain number of points. Whenever someone is assigned a chore, they are given the amount of points that the chore is worth. ChoreBuster ensures fairness by always giving the 'next' chore to the person with the lowest score." Step Four: "Schedule is emailed to you daily of weekly - no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users select whether they would like to receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily, and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the users on the account. ChoreBuster.net is redefining the art of scheduling, and making life easier for college students everywhere. m Ch clean coffee table/coasters clean fridge/freezer clean microwave clean oven clean rubbish bin clean shower clean toHel make bread mop bathroom floor mop kitchen door retrieve recycling bin sweep kitchen floor take rubbish out tidy lounge vacuum lounge and hallway 12 H anJnm Normal Hard Normal Hard Hard Above Normal Extreme Fairly Easy Above Normal Above Normal fairly Easy Normal Fairly Easy Normal Above Normal 11 Edit Qelete Edil Delete Pelete Delete Delete Delete E M pelete m m m m m E sisti E M Ostate Edit Delete E M fitistó E M Delete E M MSB Edit Delete E M Quiete Images courtesy of www.chorebuster.com Parking, Traffic, and High &as Prk No problem with a^spat I yj Special Peals far CSUSM Students ¡jj§-.

What is unclear is why they even bothered. The official October beer capital of San Diego is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day. SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL Cost: $7 and up Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center) What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night, the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature of 'film festivals'. If you don't find something that appeals to you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat your own hat, because obviously there's something wrong with you already. LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA Cost: Nothing! Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees, the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October 14th. Oddly enough, their website also mentions sausages as being integral, though this time of the Italian variety. Little Italy is also known for its art community which is celebrated during several different annual events, and will no doubt be on display at the festa. MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW Cost: Nothing! Again! Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe you have a child who would be amused. Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to > keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained. ANNUAL TIJUANA TEQUILA TOUR Cost: OkrPricey. $39. Place: leaves from Old Town Transit Center, San Diego What: Perhaps you don't drink tequila. That's a shame. But it leaves plenty more for the rest of us. While this tour is definitely a little expensive, you travel to Mexico by bus and arrive as the Tequila Expo, a holy land for aficionados, where you can taste over 100 different tequilas. Actually, it's unlimited tasting of 100 different tequilas. Did you catch the UNLIMITED part?!? The event is mostly for the ART EXHIBITIONS GONE WILD over 21 set, though you can Cost: varies, some free go between the ages of 18 and Place: San Diego Museum of Art, UCR Sweeney Art Gallery and 20. .. if you bring a parent. California Museum for Photography WHAT: Ok, maybe that's not the name of an entire event, but it should be. The cost includes two shots of tequila on the bus (which is If you love art, then October 13th is the day to be alive in San Diego. New the only way I'll travel by bus, exhibitions will be opening at the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) as actually). well as both art venues at the University of California, Riverside. SDMA r,-iu " ^ilJ^i is proving it can still attract the young and vital with Animated Painting, an exhibition of works that connect traditional painting to animation technologies. The Sweeney Art Gallery is opening three new shows, all done by incredible Latino artists. One in particular stands out as a multimedia portrayal of the uprising on Oaxaca that has been going on since 2006. Two events are also starting at the Museum of Photography. For sheer ingenuity, I'm going to see Real Uncertain, referred to as a "conversation between painting and photography", leaving the visitor to TtfMM * ' wonder which they've viewed. Well worth the drive. Happy Hour at the Belly Up Tavern: For you AND your grandma BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer This week my assignment was to check out the Belly Up Tavern's happy hour. Every Friday the Belly Up has a happy hour with a live band, dancing and a cheap five-dollar cover charge. The Belly Up Tavern is a North County treasure, located in the heart of beautiful Solana Beach. The happy hour session is from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays. There's a different band scheduled for each session. A 21-year-old age limit is enforced in the tavern. I had been to the Belly Up before and found the intimate venue to be an entertaining local spot to see a show in North County. However, to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy hour caters to a more mature crowd. There weren't any drink specials or food specials for the happy hour. The only budget advantage was the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely entertaining. As a "nostalgia" band, they were experts in all kinds of party dance classics from the 40's to the 90's. Five men and two women were all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women was playing the sax while the other did vocals. The men played keyboard, vocals, upright base, guitar and drums. Everyone able to dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure in themselves, even though I felt like a junior high kid at the senior prom. Next week on Oct. 12, there will be a band called The Fabulous Pelicans who are also a party dance music band. The following week, Oct. 19, the Bayou Brothers will be playing. The Bayou Brothers are a Louisiana dance band that will leave you craving gumbo shrimp and dirty rice. For those of you who enjoy people watching, I encourage you to head down to happy hour at the Belly Up as a pre-party to your Friday night. 2 fflE9 Images courtesy San Diego Asian Film Foundation, US Marine Corps, Little Italy Associaton, Tijuana Tourism Board H IP H OP The Dream Merchant 2 9TH WONDER This hip hop beat-specialist has produced for hip hop artist as underground as Little Brother and as overground as Jay-Z.

All is right in the universe. The latest offering by the Farrelly brothers is "The Heartbreak Kid", where farts, crazy sex, and inappropriate language by old men are what keep audiences in their seats. Stiller is Eddie Cantrow, a 40year old sport shop owner looking for love. It doesn't help that his father, played by real life dad Jerry, is encouraging him to "live life" - which in his definition means sleeping with as many women as possible. Love in this case comes in the form of a bombshell named Lila (Malin Ackerman) who at first glance, looks like a sweet- heart until the jaws of marriage brings out the ultra-neurotic nature in her, as well as Eddie. Eddie immediately regrets his life altering decision in marrying Mrs. Wrong after a Mini Cooper road trip to Cabo San Lucas where Lila sings the lyrics to all songs on the radio. Not just popular songs, but every song. It's after a serious (and I mean serious) sunburn mishap that Lila is locked up in the room for most of the honeymoon, Eddie meets another sweetheart in Miranda (Michelle Monaghan). They find solace in each other and by this point, the movie begins to feel almost recycled with love triangles and coincidental disasters. Carlos Mencia also stars in the movie as a stereotypical, sleazy hotel worker. He does more to hinder the film oppo- site the bouncing dialogue between Stiller and elder-Stiller. Stiller still plays the role of the hopeless good guy we want to root for and it's something that doesn't seem to get old. He brings a great exuberance to the loser role that suits his acting well. The film is a remake from 1972 film by Neil Simon. Rest assured that the Farrelly brothers have not lost a step in purveying their sense of humor to moviegoers, but it feels more like the kind of humor we got from "There's Something About Mary". I t's cool, but it isn't groundbreaking humor like what we see these days like in "Borat", "The 40Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad". The directing duo does a great j ob i n casting every role just right in the film. People shouldn't have to worry that all the good comedic moments are spoiled by trailers and commercials. There's enough substance that satisfies, such as a certain donkey scene. Comedy is the Farrelly's muse, and comedy is where their success will always be seen. Let's hope that Peter and Bobby never decide to commit career suicide by directing a drama or action movie. Image courtesy of DreamWorks LLC cano, and the sun.

George's Burger? cy c^ BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer By George, I think they've got it! Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the name. George's Burgers is one of those few places that has escaped the infinite pit of generic burger joints whose food is as bland as the Joes, Bobs, and Chucks, they're named after. George's Burgers is a modest place located on N. Las Posas Road, j ust o ff the 78. While it may not be the most epic burger in San Marcos, George's Burgers will stand toe to toe with the veterans if called upon. This place couldn't be any more perfect for the wayward CSUSM student, catering to even the most discerning palette with a frighteningly diverse menu. At George's Burgers, you will undoubtedly discover the most unholy of the fast food trinities: burgers, Mexican, and Greek Food. George's Burgers also boasts a fairly thorough breakfast menu. When Samuel Morse dispatched that immortal utterance-"What hath god wrought?"in his first telegraph transmis sion, it was because he had just read the menu at George's Burgers. While George's Burgers' methods are daring and perhaps blasphemous, it is improbable if not impossible for you to not enjoy something there. Since it is a burger place first and foremost, I decided to try the quarter pound special burger. Expecting a humble quarterpounder, you can imagine my surprise when this colossal behemoth invaded my face. A fter the initial shock, I soon discovered this burger to be a gentle giant, a stable and calm blend of ingredients. It is a harmonious celebration of unrivaled equality where no element of the burger overwhelms another or the rest. The hamburger meat has a faint spice that contributes to the innovative dynamic of the burger. In similar fashion to the burger, the f ries are beastly slabs of potato. While they are fairly generous in flavor, they don't harbor excess grease that can often times overwhelm a French fry. I definitely recommend you pencil George's Burgers somewhere into your list of places to go before you die, preferably somewhere between your 10:15 a.m. History class and your trip to The Great Wall of China.

AB 1413 proposed tighter regulations to the CSU Board of Trustees' executive compensation proceedings. Following the approval of 11% pay raises for executives at last months Board of Trustees meeting, the CFA campaigned heavily against these; raises, backing passage of AB 1413 and SB 190, another piece of CSU reform legislation. Working closely with Assemblyman, - Anthony Portantino, Senator Xeland Yee, and Lieutenant Governor John Garemendi, the CFA reported on fraudulent and wasteful spending practices within the CSU executive compensation policy. In response to Governor Schwarzenegger's veto, Assemblyman Portantino, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education and author of the vetoed bill, commented, "as a strong advocate of higher education, I am extremely disappointed with this veto."

Cross country invites campus community to compete Cougar 5K/8K Challenge to be held at CSUSM BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The USA Track & Field Dirt Dog Cross Country series is set to come through San Marcos this Saturday, christening the newly created on-campus cross country course. The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge marks the first ever cross country meet hosted by CSUSM. The races, however, are put on by an outside organization, and while both the CSUSM men's and women's teams will compete, their times and results will have no bearing on the official NAIA standings or rankings. There will be a 5K run and an 8K run, offering partici- VOL. X VIII NO. 7 pants a range of difficulty on the virtually untested course. The course begins at Mangrum track and takes runners around towards the Clarke Field House, then runs parallel to Campus Drive to Barham Drive, leading to Twin Oaks Valley Road before returning participants back on to Mangrum. The #8 ranked Cougars women's team will take the course at 9:00 a.m. to run in the 5K, and the #8 ranked Cougars men's team will follow soon after, running the 8K at 9:45 a.m. This event is open to the public. Registration, begins at 7:45 at Mangrum Track on the day ofthe race; the entry fee is $15. CSUSM Athletic Director, Steve Nichols sums up the uncommon nature of the event, saying "This race is especially unique in that members of the campus and surrounding communities can not only come to witness the excitement of collegiate cross-country up close - they can even join in as participants." The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge will offer participants an up close and personal taste of intercollegiate cross-country by bringing the public together to compete with one of the top NAIA cross-country programs.

In collaboration with the Washington D.C. based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and the CSUSM Department of Political Science, the CSUSM Model United Nations hosted a campus visit by former Lieutenant General, Robert Gard, of the U.S. Army and former General, Joseph P. Hoar, of the U.S. Marine Corps. The visit was one of many stops in San Diego for the two retired gen- erals as part of a two-day long series of speaking engagements critical of the Bush administration's handling of both the war in Iraq and relations with Iran. General Joseph Hoar served as the Deputy for Operations for the Marine Corps during the Gulf War and later as the Commander-inChief of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the unified combatant command that oversees jointmilitary operations in the MiddleEast, East Africa, and Central Asia. Lt. General Dr. Robert G. Gard served in the U.S. Army with combat service in Korea and Vietnam.

On the topic of immediate withdrawal, General Hoar noted, "that is just not possible," especially given "concerns about stability" and "significant requirements to protect our friends," referring to Israel and other Arab-ally states. The discussion eventually shifted to Iran, where General Hoar stated "is a much more complicated problem." Citing both historical misunderstandings and a lack of support from regional powers in the Middle East, General Hoar warned against the possibility of a war against Iran. He also maintained that because Iran does not "have the capability to attack the United States directly," Iran will "retaliate by destroying infrastructure facilities all up and down the gulf and elsewhere in the region that belong to friends of the United States." The two emphasized opening up discussions with Iran's government in the belief that Iran is not the enemy they are made out to be. As Lt. General Gard clarified, "Iran cooperated with us when we ran the Taliban out of Afghanistan and...in response for their cooperation, just weeks later in early 2002, is when the President made Iran a charter member of the so called 'Axis of Evil'." At the end of their presentations, the two generals opened up the discussion for questions from the audience. One student asked, "What do you think is going to happen in the couple of months with the Iran issue?" General Hoar responded, stating his belief "that there are very powerful forces in the U.S. government that believe the United States should attack Iran." Students also addressed in their questions the issues of the Blackwater controversy, possible conflicts of interest with Vice President Cheney and Halliburton, and even past wars. After answering all questions that time permitted, the two generals received a standing ovation and departed for another speaking engagement. As CSUSM continues to grow, students can expect more visits from prominent figures in the future.

Despite this veto, Governor Schwarzenegger stated, "when appropriate, I do believe that there should be transparency in our educational systems so that the public has confidence in our institutions, which is why I am signing Senate Bill 190 that provides some additional openness and accessibility for the public on matters of executive compensation."

In May of 2004, General Hoar spoke before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, commenting on the war in Iraq, "I believe we are absolutely on the brink of failure. We are looking into the abyss." Much to the same effect, their message at Wednesday's presentation focused on alleged faults in military strategy. In Lt. General Gard's presentation, he explained "that we went into Iraq-invaded the country-with what turned out to be a force far too small to deal with the consequences of the invasion when the insurgency began."

What was the one thing that was notably absent from the huge 41-3 win last week? The prowess and domination of LaDainian Tomlinson that Chargers fans have come to know and love over the past few years. Last Sunday the Chargers managed to score four touchdowns on offense; none of which were in the hands of Tomlinson. Fast-forward seven days, and in front of 67,000 person crowd at Qualcomm, Tomlinson scored four touchdowns of his own on the way to 199 yards rushing, in easily his most explosive game of the season thus far. Tomlinson guided the Chargers to 28-14 victory; the eighth straight over the Raiders. The famed Chargers-Raiders rivalry went down in front of a packed house, with fan support on both sides of the ball. The Raiders left droves of Los Angeles area Raiders fans teamless, when the organization packed up and moved from Los Angeles to Oakland in 1995. These fans are still strong today, and many make a point to take the journey south and catch the Raiders in their only Southern California appearance of the season. The Chargers, feeding off last week's momentum, scored on the first drive, advancing the ball 80 yards in 11 plays with a balanced air to ground attack. The drive culminated in a threeyard Tomlinson touchdown that sent him leaping over Raiders defense and crossing the plane of the goal line at a nearly vertical angle. It took only three plays on the ensuing Oakland possession for the Chargers' defense to get to work. Cornerback, Drayton Florence, intercepted Daunte Culpepper's third and 12 pass intended for wide receiver, Jerry Porter. On the very next drive, Tomlinson rushed through traffic to the left, for a 27-yard touchdown. Not only had Tomlinson matched his touchdown total on the season in only eight minutes, but he also tied John Riggins for fifth all-time in career rushing touchdowns, with 104. Oakland struck in the second quarter, as linebacker, Thomas Howard, intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it for a 66-yard defensive touchdown. Early in the third quarter, on a drive sparked by a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 28- yard pass, Tomlinson scored again, this time for 13 yards. The Raiders scored their final points with 5:18 left in the fourth quarter as Daunte Culpepper passed to rookie tight end, Zach Miller, for a goal line touchdown. Tomlinson scored his 106career touchdown on a massive 41-yard rush that gave the Chargers some insurance with a 28-14 lead. A lead that would be made final after a disastrous attempt at a Raiders comeback. Tomlinson's quest through the record books met up with another legend in this game. LT's final touchdown put him in a tie with Jim Brown for fourth place all-time in career rushing touchdowns.

MCS is available both on and off campus and can be accessed in one of three ways: a link is placed in WebCT, typing "mcs" into a campus computer's web browser, or, if being accessed from off campus, typing "http://mcs.csusm.edu" into the browser. Originally, the MCS was intended to replace the large and difficult to maintain cable television system on campus. By streaming video over the network, Integrated Information Technology Services (ITTS) was able to not only cut down on the clutter of the cabling system, but also include the off campus support, integrate it into the WebCT system and record off air, similar to a TIVO, The online media library was piloted last spring with a few instructor volunteers. However, as it is a new system, development will be slow in order to make sure it works with all computers. As instructors request different materials be placed in the media library, the number of videos on the server vary from semester to semester. Although the MCS is not intended as an archive for student videos, ITTS does help student to place materials on the serves for course-related purposes. In order to deliver relevant and desired content, an informal poll of campus organizations that use the MCS is conducted and the results are incorporated into the selection as much as possible. Many of the popular cable channels are not available due to the school's basic cable feed from Time-Warner. �Children Website of the Week .3ÜLY1 one area's tragedy and exposes it worldwide Invisiblechildren.com takes BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer If you have not heard of Invisible Children by now, it is about time you did. Invisible Children Inc. is an organization founded by San Diego area filmmakers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, dedicated to creating awareness for the plight and poverty of the people ofNorthern Uganda. Northern Uganda is in the middle of a civil war between its established government and rebel group, the Lords Resistance Army. The Lords Resistance Army, formed in 1987, is led by Joseph Kony, who, along with his soldiers, has been openly accused of violent and widespread human torture, mutilation, rape and abduction. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is most well known for its forced army recruitment by kidnapping. In a 2006 survey declared that more than 66,000 youths were abducted by the LRA since 1987. Invisible Children started as a rough cut documentary filmed in the spring of2003. According to the website, thefilmmakerswent into the opportunity as a "filmmaking adventure," but "[the adventure] transformed into much more when these boys from Southern Califor- nia discovered a tragedy that both disgusted and inspired them - A tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. What started as a 55- minute rough cut documentary four years ago, has turned into multifaceted, non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference, or as the website states "transforming apathy into activism." The main focus of the website is directed toward the most tangible medium of communication oil the internet: video. Nearly .every featured project on the website is greeted with a hip, modern introduction video that conveys the main points in a way that not only grabs the viewer's attention, but informs him or her along the Avay. The current marquee project highlighted on the website is the "Schools for Schools" program! The "Schools for Schools" project is dedicated to fostering the desire for the children of Northern Uganda to acquire an education. The project will achieve this by taking the top 46 high schools in Northern Uganda and turning them into the best schools in the country, in an effort to match the academic averages of the rest of the African continent. The program focuses on five aspects for reform: water, teachers, books, buildings, and technology. The "Schools for Schools" project is supported by middle schools, high schools, and colleges in America. To date, more than $112,000 has been raised by 547 schools with 5,892 students participating. Invisiblechildren.com recently launched "The Bracelet Campaign", a project derived to make economic opportunities available for people in Northern Uganda's Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camps.

The bracelets come packaged with an inspiring short film that elaborates on the child's situation and story.

The Ducks won the game 2-1 on a Francois Beauchemin slap shot from the blue line early in the third period. Now the Ducks are looking to capitalize on their current home stand after starting the season on an unfair five game road trip where they split a two game series with the Los Angeles Kings in London on Sept. 29 and Sept. 30. The Ducks lost to the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout loss on Oct. 3 and then lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 5 and the Pittsburgh Penguins Oct. 6. At the same time, the Kings were able to rest from their trip to London when they opened their season at home to the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 6, a week after playing in London and three more days of rest than the Ducks.

That means that we do things like swap articles, have a little family dinner once a week, and carpool in the same Impala for drive-bys. You know how it is. But apparently, all this comradery wasn't enough. We all decided to get the same illness too. It's that season again, when the guy next to you in PSCI 100 starts sneezing and you start thinking, "If you give me a cold, I will kill you. I will literally kill you." Depending on how annoying he was to begin with, you might say it out loud - especially if you're me. I hate colds. They're not epic enough to really give you an excuse for anything, but they screw up everything. It's significantly harder to intimidate everyone from the pizza guy to your writers with a cold, steely voice when you actually sound like you belong in a damn Theraflu commercial. And then, there's the judgment. Perhaps, you've noticed that I mentioned my grandmother several times, since she pervades my life. Well, she's about as supportive of illness as she is of dating. "You know, you're burning the candle at both ends. You were bound to get sick." No, I'm sick because everyone in my office was sick and like every other building in America, we think re-circulating air is a peachy keen idea. And you know that just like me, when you get sick, you have at least one friend or family member that will tell you how you got sick; because they are trained medical doctors and mind readers. Go to dinner with them and blow your nose repeatedly at the table. And talk about filthy things as loudly around small children as you can. I find this is a good way to take out my aggression on someone. Restaurant humiliation. So what should you do now that you have the cold? Well, there are various options, including but not limited to busting out the tea, taking a ton of Tylenol Cold, or getting plastered on Nyquil. My best recommendation? Give it to somebody else. Hell, that's what I'm going to do. I n t he l ong r u n n o b ecause s fie i s a lready w eU k nown f or h er s uccess yeafts a go, b ut s he s eems t a h ave l ost h er i dentity.

Now in its eighth year, the SDAFF is showcasing 130 films ranging from full-length features to an assortment of short independent clips. The festival also includes workshops for young filmmakers. The spotlight film was "Dark Matter," which is a story based off true events of a physics student who kills six people at a university. Otherfilmsincluded were "Finishing the Game" (opening at the Landmark Ken Cinema in San Diego on Oct. 26), and "West 32nd," a crime drama set in New York's Korea-town. For many of the guests, the festival is an amazing platform to encourage and support the arts in the growing community. Special guests of the festival include celebrity faces from the Asian community such as Justin Lin, Roger Fan, Yul Kwon, MC Hammer and Leonardo Nam. Many of them spoke about upcoming projects, political and social awareness, and fair representation in the media. "I'm definitely thankful and I think the fans have been great and very generous," said James Kyson Lee, who stars on the THE PRIDE National Bird: Eagle, National Anthem: Star Spangled Banner; National book: I Am America (And So Can You!)

While some spoke about the good fortune they have had, others took the opportunity to speak about reality and progress toward future realizations. "If there is a barrier that will break Asian Americans into mainstream, it's when as a whole they start putting their dollars into something that is specifically Asian American," said Fan who starred in "Finishing the Game" and 2002's "Better Luck Tomorrow." Kwon, the winner of"Survivor: Cook Islands", was on hand to help register bone marrow donors and encouraged political awareness among Asian-Americans. On Saturday night, the festival honored longtime actor George Takei. Takei, famous for roles such as Kaito Nakamura from Heroes, and the beloved Lt. Sulu from Star Trek, received a lifetime achievement award for his work in Hollywood and contributions to society. When asked about Heroes, he responded, "Nothing is as it seems on the surface- Stay tuned." Amidst the buzz of films and activities that were happening, another word came to mind as the producers, members, celeb- Iii m fiMll rities, and attendees showed their love for the film festival - celebration.

El Mexicano Kirin Ichiban BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Having visited a local sushi bar this weekend and encountered a lovely Japanese waitress, the mind craved more elements from the land of the rising sun. A quick glance at the checkbook and the daily planner resulted in canceling reservations hastily made on a random travel website. A quick visit to Beverages and More for a Japanese beer would have to suffice for now. Kirin Brewery Company operates in multiple industries and markets. Asahi Brewery bought out the brewery in 2000. The brewery has a complex history because the ownership has changed hands and management styles throughout the years. Kirin not only brews beer but also produces hard liquor, wine, soft drinks, and food.

Black, tan, and gold hues comprise the visual aesthetics. A creative god-like horse styled animal dominates the center of the packaging. The bottle is adorned with the same image. The bottles are capped with a tan and gold bottle cap that seals off a beer with 4.95% alcohol-by-volume and 145 calories. A light version offers 50 less calories. The beer pours ultra-smooth and creates little to no head. The champagne colored beer glistens heavenly behind the frosty glass. The beer creates a low key aroma similar to that of the more famous Heineken. Wort, barley malt, and hops function in harmony to create a smooth tasting beer. The beer enters the mouth, jolts the taste buds, and quickly exits stage left. A subtle tingling sensation lingers for a brief moment as a result of the shock. Given its crisp taste, the beer can be paired with almost any food selection. | If a Vacation l o Japan ] seems out of reach, * simply grab a six pack of Kirin Ichiban. Do not forget the camera. BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Since its release last Tuesday, Stephen Colbert's first book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)," raises one simple question: Is it a great book, or the greatest book ever? In my honest opinion, I would have to say, "Yes." It has something for everyone: humor, justice, and the truth about America. It should not be long before this book replaces the Constitution. BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I, like most college students, have succumbed to the horror that is the "midnight munchies." The fact that you are starving at 11:00 at night while trying to do a Political Science paper due tomorrow isn't the scary part. The horror is driving around trying to find a good place open that late. That is why there exists the haven for the hungry nocturnal being: El Mexicano. Located on Mission Rd. in Escondido, it is within reasonable driving distance from CSUSM. In fact, it stands to reason that you may have already driven past it and never noticed it. It is difficult to comprehend that a building shaped like a small barn is actually a Mexican restaurant. Not only do you get a close restaurant, you also get a good p rice| A biirritó, quesadilla, and drink together are less tlfaii 7 dollars. Now, when I say burrito, I'm not talking about one of those thin, wimpy E AXOF little things youfindat your average run-of-the-mill fast food Mexican joint. You get a grande-size burrito, the kind you can only get at a hole-in-the^wall restaurant like this, a burrito you might feel bad for eating afterwards, but you don't care because it was so delicious. Take a couple of your buddies to lunch when you have a break. Reminisce about the crazy antics that your group has gotten itself into yet again. This is the perfect place to define as your friends' new meeting spot. So whether you and your friends are looking for a new restaurant to eat at so you don't get sick of sandwiches and burgers, or just looking to calm that midnight hunger beast,£ don't hesitate to take a short driye out of your ' comfort zone into a little place called El Mexicano, or "the delicious^ Mexican restaurant that you will be telling your friends about forever" in English. Image courtesy of Grand Central Publishing Seriously, this is a great read, whether or not you are a fan of Colbert and his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert R eport" I waited for this book for a very long time and the very cover of the book had me giggling. This book is part of Colbert's continuing tongue-in-cheek attempt to bring America back to its glorious, conservative state. From thefirstpage to the last, he writes with his clever and witty style that had me laughing out loud. The book covers how to live like an American in areas such as family, religion, media, and education. Armed with his right-wing values, he breaks down issues, pointing what is 'wrong' with America, and how everyone would be more patriotic by following his family-loving, Godfearing, alpha-male lifestyle. While being a humorous look at America, it is also very poignant. True to his nature, Colbert wrote this book to be both Entertaining and educational. So pick up some Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream, curl up in an American flag on a couch next to your copy of The Declaration of Independence, and enjoy "I Am America." Be sure to get several copies as well; one each for your bedroom, bath room, and living room to get your full serving of truth. This book should do for America, what Harry Potter did for wizards. If everyone could just read this book, the world would be a better place. And that's the word. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While the vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are still pushing for legislation that addresses the needs of students in the postsecondary public school system and are starting to receive some success in return. Governor Schwarzenegger recently signed AB 262 and AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial burdens of college for students across the state. AB 262, commissioned by Democratic Assemblyman, Joe Coto, looks to dispel credit card companies from targeting college students on campus with gifts and other luring tactics. Also called The College Student Credit Protection Act, AB 262 advises university executives to revise regulations on credit companies on campus. Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The is the most troublesome problem governor went on in his veto mesfor students to control.

"As the former student body AB 1548 calls for improve- president of UC Irvine, I know ments among publishers, distrib- firsthand that high textbook prices are a huge issue for college students." Assemblyman Solorio said in an Oct. 13 press release. According to the General Accounting Office 2005 report, textbook prices increased 186 percent between the years 1986 and 2004; nearly triple the rate of inflation during that same time period. AB 1548 does not decrease textbook prices but it does offer students more opportunity to make better textbook purchasing decisions. The bill also holds those who select textbooks accountable for taking students best interests into consideration during the process. "AB 1548 provides a comprehensive approach to controlling college textbook prices by placing additional disclosure requirements on all parties involved in creating the high prices. That's why the bill was supported by the California State Student Association, the California Teacher's Association, the Association of American Publishers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission," said Assemblyman Solorio. Students will soon be able to see how these bills affect life on campus and if they set a precedent to pass similar bills in the future.

Additionally, no respect holds greater significance than the appreciation of a student to their teacher. British author Gladys Bronwyn Stern once said, "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone." The President's Awards are the best opportunity students have each year to honor faculty members in a big way. In lieu of the upcoming Thanksgiving season, it is important to not only be thankful for faculty members that enable student success but also to make that gratitude a public affair. To vote for The President's Award for Innovation in Teaching, e-mail the Office of President Karen Haynes via Carol Bonomo at cbonomo@csusm. edu. The deadline for the Innovation in Teaching Award is Friday, Nov. 9. Nominations should include how the proposed faculty member displays innovative ways of teaching and how these ways help the student retain knowledge.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center organized and promoted the event in conjunction with conservative student organizations across the United States. The intent of Islamo-Fascism Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the American student population of what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big Lies." These lies, according to The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat." The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the protest is to "rally American students to defend their country." 200 universities and colleges across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM initially appeared on the list of participating campuses but was later removed. When asked why the Terrorism Awareness Project removed Cal State San Marcos, among other schools, from the list, a representative from the group declined to comment on the matter. The events included keynote speakers, panels on oppression of women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What the West Needs to Know and the ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11, a petition encouraging students to claim their allegiance, and a memorial service for the victims of terrorist attacks. There will also be a petition "denouncing Islamo-Fascist violence against women, gays, Christians, Jews and non-religious people." In response to the event the Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to do the following: "demonstrate Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond, contact campus administration, talk to other student groups, report hate crimes and incidents." They also provided workshops for students under the banner, "Truth Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia." The MPAC pamphlet provided to help Islamic students navigate through the demonstrations states, "programs such as Islamo-Facism Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to isolate and divide communities, thereby dislodging their place as contributing members of society."

(6) 7057 70 5- 6 4 �Chargers please San Diego in emotional 35-10 victory CSUSM women's soccer headed to playoffs BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In a game that was almost not played in San Diego, the Chargers took over Qualcomm and boosted the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it was for only four hours. As San Diego County was being ravaged by the w ildfires, Qualcomm Stadium was being used to facilitate over 10,000 evacuees. A fter some 45 Chargers employees, including around 24 players were displaced f rom their homes Monday, the Chargers were forced to board a plane to Arizona to cary on with the week's practice schedule. When the Los Angeles L akers a nnounced the cancellation on Tuesday of t heir a nnual p reseason game in San Diego t hat was scheduled f or Thursday, the idea of the C hargers r eturning home seemed d oubtful. The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their Monday night game against the Dolphins was moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona due, ironically enough, to Qualcomm being used as an evacuation center for the Cedar Fire. Arizona and Los Angeles were speculated for the relocation of the The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team is headed to its first ever playoff appearance Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the #3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday. The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm. This is only the second season of women's soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors, the playoff berth shows plenty of potential. In a press release from the university, coach Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting." The Cougars will look to capitalize on the skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete of the month. This match-up may look familiar to the Cougars, who faced Concordia on September 8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1. This time the Cougars will be well rested due to the cancelation of their final regular season game, against La Sierra University on Sunday. The Cougars finished the season with a 6 -6-4 record, coming down the stretch with two tough ties at Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. game, as well as Oakland, Seattle, and Fresno. With the n umbers of e vacuees s teadily d ropping as the week p rogressed, the f ocus soon s hifted on d istinct p ossibility of the game a ctually b eing played at Q ualcomm. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders announced late Thursday that the stadium would be ready and capable to host the game, stating "The City will be able to provide s ufficient public safety personnel to manage a professional football game without impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery e fforts." The team returned to San Diego Friday morning allowing time for players and staff to return to their homes-all of which still standing. Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay focussed for their match-up with the Houston Texans en route to their third consecutive victory; 35-10. The Chargers got the p arty started with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown reception. Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it to the house, pushing the Chargers lead to 14-0. Houston got on the board early in the second quarter with a Kris Brown 40-yard field goal. Antonio Gates made the highlights again with a 31 yard touchdown reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned for a 70 yard touchdown. Philip Rivers got the newly acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark in the second quarter. The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into h alftime, and needed nothing more f rom the o ffense to secure the victory. The Chargers won by a score of 35-10, in a game that brought out the best of the Chargers in the midst of a crisis throughout the county. "It was kind of like a win for the San Diego Chargers, but at the same time it was a win for San Diego itself," said Gates a fter the game. The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a tie for f irst place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers travel to Minnesota next Sunday to face the Vikings at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

Last week was no different as Sudanese native Benjamin Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17, bringing with him an unrivaled story of survival and triumph of the human will. From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in his 14-year exodus from his war torn home of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for "They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a book he co-authored with cousins Benson and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy A. Bernstein. The book documented their accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys of Sudan." With the help of the International Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled across the United States. En route to San Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to Canada due to the attacks of September 11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego two weeks later. Of the few things Benjamin brought with him from Africa, his unquestionable passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels. Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent two days on campus, kept busy by a dense itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members. In one such engagement, Benjamin took the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States. One student asked Benjamin how he felt in his first encounter with a lion, to which Benjamin responded, "Living with the lion is not scary for us...because we live in the jungle." Another student asked Benjamin if he misses anything from his life in Africa. "Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends." Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories. In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some men in the village had many wives, are you bummed out that in America you can only have one?" Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's mother had 13 children of which only himself and his brother survived the civil war in Sudan. Prior to becoming a full time speaker, Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and other organizations to share his story and insight with others. V J — T u e s d a y , October 30, 2007 In today's technology The iPod Touch BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer If you thought Apple had finally hit the ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again. The iPod Touch has just been released on the market and is being hailed as iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively starting at $299. So then the question people should ask themselves is "why should I get my hands on this neat little device?" It's justifying to know Apple is getting all the praise it deserves, especially for all the Apple owners. On that same token, is there anyone that can stop them at this point? The lingering m m m m m mm m mmmmmamm question remains whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a must have. How does it compare to the iPhone that is already been on the market for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a Cadillac when you're actually driving a Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released before the iPhone, it would have been the device that launches Apple into the upper stratosphere of technical mastery. Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the iPod touch: Get your web applications. From checking Facebook to creating personal calendars to checking personal email, Apple has created a link enabling users to download vital web applications. It is a good idea since it integrates well with the already user-friendly touch screen browser. And speaking of web browsers... Try to figure out Safari. Sure the melius on the device move fiuidly, but that doesn't mean people will figure out the web browser in a day. Safari is touted by Apple as a great tool to use to check out the web, but it is unable to support Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to check out clips off of YouTube wherever you go. Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy protection to prevent those inevitable h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out gelaskins.com for some stylish skins that are both artsy and fun. Skins are available for older models too. Pause a song or adjust the volume while locked. This m m m^ m m m m iS probably going m m am m m m to be looked at as a drawback to the more traditional iPod owners who are accustomed to a click wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen. Don't like the icons? Well change them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems to look so good. The Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More buttons can be customized to look anyway you like. Just what Grandpa wanted. The design means more to younger folks than to the tech-impaired. With intentions of bridging the technological gap, the user friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals, and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock and roll icons.

Click on this B ackpackit.com m akes it easy t o organize class n otes, study g roufp^nd m ore BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer For students who take lecture notes on laptops, the standard word processor may provide adequate capabilities for simply maintaining its namesake: word processing. While there are numerous web-based solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents, such as Google Docs, but none stand out more than Backpack. Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the web. The note taking functionality of Backpack is merely an attribute to the host of features offered in the Backpack Suite. Backpack takes an innovative approach to organization, utilizing the basic design principles of a standard personal website, while offering users effortless data entry under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard. After registration, users are prompted to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class, this is the most efficient method for applying the service to a scholastic setting, though creating pages by topic may also be efficient depending on the user's needs. After naming the page, users can enter a brief summary that can include anything from teacher contacts, to the main points of the course. Backpack offers a great to-do list fea- ture that allows users to create tasks, and check them off wheç complete. The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective. Users simply name the section of notes, and enter them Get organized! Keep your to-dos, notes, ideas, and schedule online with Backpack. T i t e I ftHjg or Oa 300,000 Mp itene* UI Ot «* itmae?

Using a simple upload form, users can add files to the page as well. Files could include the course syllabus, or other course content documents. Backpack's reminder feature is a small and sometimes unnoticed element that allows users to create email reminders for events that range from "later today" to "next year." The Reminder functionality also strikes a chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through Apple's iCal software. Users can also share pages with other users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone. Backpack is an extremely diverse service, offering thousands of other uses, including: planning an event, listing items for sale, organizing and preparing for a meeting, and planning a trip. Backpack offers seemingly endless opportunities for users to organize ^ their lives with technology. From taking notes, to creating lists, to planning events, Backpack is at the front ^ of the pack when it comes to a ^ simple and comprehensive solution for organization. �From FIRES, page 1 Of the 23 fires identified in Southern California, San Diego 1500 homes and scorching nearly County harbored two of the larg370,000acres ofSan Diego Coun- est fires, and seven other smaller ty's land. Powered by unusually fires. The names of the nine fires powerful Santa Ana winds, Cali- that affected San Diego County fornia experienced arguably its are (in order of severity): The wocst series of flies in its history Witch Fire, the Harris Fire, The Poomacha Fire, The Rice Fire, last week. The Horno/Ammo Fire, the Wilcox Fire, the Cajon Fire, the McCoy Fire, and the Coronado Hills Fire. As of Oct. 29 Cal Fire reports all but the Witch, Harris, and Poomacha fires are 100% contained. Cal State San Marcos and nearby residents felt the heat in a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many students living near campus awoke early Monday morning to the sight offlamesand the sound of sirens on South Twin Oaks Valley Road. Only claiming 300 acres, fire fighters quickly snuffed out the Coronado Hills fire by late Monday afternoon, lifting mandatory evacuations for residences near CSUSM and San Elijo Hills. The proximity of the fire coupled with extremely poor air quality forced CSUSM to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed on Monday, Oct. 29. The latest figures place the number of people in Southern California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at 950,000. Residents of San Diego County account for roughly 640,000 of those the fire displaced. Devastation of the scale caused by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina, the last major disaster to draw national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California over the past week. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Kolender said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas exceeded the number of victims evacuated from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Early on Sheriff Kolender predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has ever seen-worse than the Cedar Fire," prophetic words that would resound through much of the week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in San Diego County exceeds that of the Cedar Fire remains to be seen.

She had been woken up by one of her roommates who told her to look outside—she could not believe her eyes. What she saw foreshadowed the long week ahead for many San Diego residents who had to evacuate their homes—many to never see them again—due to the many fires that threatened and took much of San Diego County. "The first thing I saw was a guy outside my roommate's window," said Zambrano. "He kept yell- ing, 'Don't worry about it, just get out.' One of my roommates thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon as we stepped outside we saw all the cars trying to leave" Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The Apartment community holds more than 550 apartments with more students than families or elderly living there, said Thomas Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence. "[Between] late Sunday and early Monday we witnessed a fire on the hillside in back of the complex," said Peterson. "It was not a major threat, but just to be on the safe side we started to tell people." Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the majority of people who decided to evacuate left Monday around 2 a.m., although some stayed until Wednesday, and some decided to stay. The apartment community counts on 24-hour security, which was responsible for knocking on doors and informing people, as well as monitoring how close the fires got, he said. Zambrano and her roommates, like many residents there,fledthe apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area. "I had no idea what was going on," she said. "Everyone was honking their horns because I guess there was no time to call everyone because there are so many apartments. In that moment I just grabbed whatever I could. I took shoes and stuff for work, as well as my purse which at that time had my credit cards and birth certificate." She said she started trying to exit the gate community but was afraid they were not going to be able to get out. Once out and on the road she saw the fires burning on Coronado Hill up closer. "I saw the fires from my car, where you could see a view of the campus and the apartments," she said. "It looked like lava coming down." While Peterson stressed the traffic trying to leave was not chaotic— the complex has the front exit as well as an emergency exit through the back—the worst of the rush was early Monday morning. He said the fire was put out quite rapidly, and by the end of the week people began returning to their homes. But not everyone was so fortunate.

He was the first to tell me of the Witch / 78 fire that was at that time burning in between Santa Ysabel. I decided to leave school and go back to my house on the western edge of the Ramona city limit. Driving to the Pomerado Road exit on the 1-15, I was met with a wall of thick smoke blowing westward. Reaching my house, I quickly went to work clearing additional brush and other vegetation around our house. After we did as much as we could do, I returned to school after telling my dad to call me if I needed to come back home. After reaching school around 7:30 p.m. and working about 30 or 40 minutes, I received another call from my dad, calling me back home. As I drove south along the 1-15 by the North County Fair mall, I could see the flames off in the east. By the t ime! got home, my mom was already gathering photo albums and other irreplaceable items. I went through my room, gathering only three days worth of clothes, pictures, childhood mementos and not much else. By 11:00 p.m. we left our house in three vehicles. My dad stayed behind with our last vehicle, despite our attempts to convince him to leave. We took Highland Valley Road going west towards Escondido / Rancho Bernardo. With traffic, it took about 20 minutes to get to Pomerado Road when normally it takes only 10 minutes. Just before Pomerado Road, we encountered an overturned motor-home, blocking part of the road. We went to my brother's fiancée's house in Poway off of Espola Road. We were there only minutes before the power temporarily shut off. Taking into account the smoke, extreme wind Church's Influence on Sports The Good, the Bad and the Worse BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After a week of sitting on my butt watching Fire Storm 2007 and working everyday at Island's caring to those looking for a brief escape. It is time to talk about the good the bad and the worse in sports this week. . First we will talk about the good. The number one story around the United States this week was the fires in California. But with hundreds of thousands being forced to evacuate their homes and businesses, San Diego residents were able to find shelter at Qualcomm Stadium. Now with thefiresstill pushing some residents to remain evacuated and others losing everything, San Diego is being forced to move on once again. And the first step to moving forward was the decision by mayor Jerry Sanders to allow the Chargers to play their home game in San Diego. Now San Diego will be showing to the world how strong of a community we are as the Chargers will be one of the many healing processes for the commu- nity as a whole. While all this was going on here at home, the World Series was underway and it was bad. Game one was a blow out. A 13-1 victory for the Boston Red Sox was the last thing that I wanted to watch. The Red Sox just proved to that Red Sox Nation that they are the real thing, which is really bad as they can now rule the league as they dominated teams all season long and have done so again this postseason. Now the Red Sox are making their stand and will more than likely win their second title of this century, which will be one more than the Yankees who last won a championship in 2000. But with the tides turning in favor of the Red Sox, it is only a matter of time before the Yankees go and buy young talent instead of the washed up team they are putting on the field now. The first step is resigning A-Rod for $40 million a year as he is going to be keep the price of YES network in near a billion instead of half that without him. Finally there is the ugly. And there is nothing uglier than Kobe Bryant and his "trade demand". Here is the problem with this situation. Kobe Bryant is desperate to leave LA after he requested that the Lakers "make a move or trade me" remarks at the beginning of the summer. Now Kobe isfindinghimself in a tough situation as he will need to make a decision. He wants to leave the second biggest basketball market or will he do the right thing and stay with the Lakers and play out his contract and when the time comes he can do what A-Rod is doing and opt out of his contract for more money. But for the time being, Kobe needs Jerry Buss the same way Buss needs Kobe. But with the Lakers developing young players instead of getting key marquee players to support Kobe, it is no wonder why Kobe wants out of the Lakers organization. He wants to win. Comments or questions can be emailed to me at churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. and possible power failure, we decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa Fe Road. I stayed up for another two hours listening the the news on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking him to leave our house. Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin Oaks Valley Road. Driving north on Rancho Santa Fe Road, I caught sight of the flames just after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the night, I checked up on the fire several times, heard that my dad got out safely and slept about two or three hours. In the morning, we moved from San Marcos to Lemon grove. Later the day we heard that our house was gone by word of our neighbor who stayed in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete bunker he had previously built. Currently we are still staying in Lemon Grove. Some advice that has already been said: If you are in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too late.

ISSH �war BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Gone are the days of going to the store to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before someone realized you could put them in the mail.

Boo&Mee Japanese Cuisine P ympyn Ate BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer Fall is in the air. When the sun starts setting earlier and grocery stores begin stocking up on candy and costumes for Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins. In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option available for the seasonal sensation is Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale. The ale is brewed with baked and roasted pumpkins combined with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Some other pumpkin brewers include Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard, Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon. The tradition of brewing pumpkin ales goes back to colonial America. According to money.cnn. com the native pumpkin was chosen as an alternative to British barley and hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer. As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor seeps slowing into my conscious and leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool and refreshing beverage paired well with any squash or pumpkin-carving event. For those of you who love pumpkins as much as I do I am sure that this will be something to look forward to every October. For the rest of you - give it a try and you may find something you like about pumpkins. BY JASON ENCABO Pride Staff Writer It's rare to find the combination of great Japanese food and great prices. The best places to get the most bang for your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop restaurants. Not too far from campus is a Japanese restaurant that is tiny in square footage, but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety of quality Japanese dishes for moderate prices. Sushi is a true testament to the notion that 'you get what you pay for,' and when you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but get suspicious. Keeping with the thought that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the ideal situation. With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of course sushi, tempura and more, you won't find yourself looking for something that isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars, offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in crab and spicy sauce. The restaurant also offers a "pick two combo," where you can choose two dishes from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi, stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars. These dishes can fill the average appetite, but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend ordering a roll of sushi in addition. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings on the wall, nor are there golden chop sticks to get your hands on, but don't think that will offset your appetite. With a TV on each end of the restaurant playing The Food Network, along with a random swordfish nailed to the northeast corner of the place, you'll be entertained as your taste buds await your meal. The restaurant from the customer's perspective is a one-man-show, with the sushi chef also acting as host, server and bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop restaurant. From sushi to tempura to fried oysters, Boo & Mee offers a little more than what you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food quality; �16 A&E TueMav. October 30. 2007 THE PRIDE NDERGRO HIPHOP By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer Spoken word hip-hop collective Ill-Literacy comes to campus There are places that are alive with music. People perform on street corners and beats rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof, a door and a microphone. Those who look hard enough agree that San Diego is one of these locales, with lyrics embedded in its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one didn't have to go into the city to seek the energy. The music came directly to CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world. The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken word collective. Her introduction to her pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word, I call it spoken soul because we express our souls," may have made some mem- bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she covered topics like war, truth, poverty and beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly replace with fascination; Castruita was, in her own words, "singing songs in the key of life." Up next, it was time for the main act. After being announced and welcomed by a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the stage. The welcome by the KA, while proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of many concerts, a single member was sent out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number, and asking the audience to come with them on a "journey". While there were all sort of influences for the various songs, most involved some form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel Luis, in addition to having the dubious job of being the first one on stage, performed an a mazing piece from the point of view of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on stage by announcing that "the club looks nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it does." Perhaps some of the most powerful moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that brought the most laughter and empathy from the audience though came from Nico Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including everything from conservative politicians to people who had Lunchables and never Keep your ear to the ground Hip-hop albums Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping?

Gil Scott-Heron The Revolution Will Not Be Televised One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless, particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon Jurassic Five Power In Numbers Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place. Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic 5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too. Mos Def & Talib Kweli Black Star The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list. When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong, only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive. shared. The second was about his desire to be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded by different types of "revolution" recruiters on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on a cause, and mocking the inability of each group tofindcommon ground. At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture". They spoke to the audience, provoking everything from uncontrollable laughter to shouted agreement during statements about society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular, the group showcased hip hop at its finest, exhibiting unbelievable word flow without a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium full of wide eyed people hanging on the group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only awakened, but ignited. Speaking with spoken words Ill-Literacy interview One of the main appeals of Ill-Literacy, in comparison to others in the field of spoken word and hip hop, may be their accessibility, with audience members coming up to them after the show and interacting like long-lost friends. When the flock thinned a little, the Pride had a chance to ask the group a few quick questions. As gleaned from their interaction on stage, the members of Ill-Literacy are friends as much as they're band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the same answers and finished each others' sentences. Dahlek: Yeah, we get, what would you say, like withdrawals. Without each other. What's the smallest show you've ever played? Adriel: Man, I think like 6. Probably 6. So would you rather play for six or 1,000? D: Depends.

This past week, fire fighters continued battling the remaining flames. As of Thursday, Nov. 1, only the Poomacha and Santiago fires continued to burn in California of the 23 fires that plagued the state less than a week ago. In regards to the two remaining fires, fire officials expected full containment by Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 respectively. With evacuations lifted this past week, homeowners and city officials began assessing damages.

As part of an effort to provide all possible emergency preparedness resources to students, faculty, and staff, Emergency Management activated the MIR3 IN (Intelligent Notification) system. The system allows students, faculty, and staff to be notified of an emergency through a variety of means. According to an e-mail sent out by the Office of Communications to all students, "MIR3 IN has been thoroughly tested and was scheduled to be implemented last week." The e-mail went on to explain, "Although the wildfires prevented implementation, the need for a comprehensive emergency notification system has been underscored by recent events." Notifications can be sent in the form of SMS text messages, calls to cell phones, and calls to home phones; with users having the ability to choose desired forms of notification based on the information they provide. With this new system, users will be able to update their secure notification contact information online at anytime. Participation in the program is not automatic and is entirely voluntary. For those interested in the program, simply go to the Emergency Management website (http://www.csusm.edu/ep/ Alert) and follow the brief registration instructions. Sherray Blythe leads a group of students in re-establishing Black student organization. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer For African-American students at Cal State San Marcos, the Black Student Union is the only group devoted to bringing together the African-American community on campus. Until recently, the BSU, a vital resource for an already underrepresented minority at CSUSM, had come to a standstill and ceased to be. However, students at CSUSM have recently mobilized to revive the dormant organization. Lead by Sherray Blythe, the newly restored group held its first meeting on Oct. 17. Blythe, the new BSU president and an active member in several campus organizations, said, "It [BSU] has been up before, but people never went to meetings." Senior, Dominique Younger, characterized the previous CSUSM women's soccer first ever playoff game BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM women's soccer made history Wednesday, as the Cougars defeated Concordia in the first playoff appearance in the program's two-year history. In just the 15th minute, Taylor Ziencina scored from 18-yards out over Concordia goal keeper, Suzanne Torres thanks to an Annica Perez assist, to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead. In the 52nd minute, Ziencina struck again on a penalty kick. Concordia bounced back, and just three minutes later, scored their only goal of the game, bringing the score to 2-1. The Cougars defense held strong throughout the game, proving to be the guiding light en route to the program's most important win ever. The win meant the Cougars would go up against the #2 ranked Azusa Pacific team that they faced earlier in the season, losing by a score of 1-0. The stage was set for yet another upset Friday, as the Cougars made the trip to Azusa to face a team that was undeSee SOCCER, page 3 attempt at the BSU as "not a financially stable situation." Younger also attributed the previous failure of the BSU to a lack of activity. On Nov. 1, during University Hour, The Pride sat in on the BSU's second meeting this semester to cover the restructuring efforts. With the entire infrastructure of the previous BSU left bare, the first order of business at the Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride meeting was the nomination of willing individuals to fill vacant executive and administrative positions. It was clear f rom the tone set at the meeting that this matter was not something taken lightly by those students in attendance.

The Cougars patience paid off, as they placed first, punching their ticket to the National Championships. Seniors Juan Mejia and Sergio Gonzalez led the CSUSM pack, much in the way they have done for the majority of the season. Mejia finished third overall with a time of 24:50. Gonzalez finished just five seconds back, with a time of 24:55. The Cougars had a strong showing from senior transfer, Sean Brosnan, who finished 12th overall with a time of 25:31. Freshmen, Alex Guaderama and Patrick Fitzgerald had strong showings in the middle of the pack that were key to the overall victory.

According to the San Diego Union Trine, state officials plan to pay for 75 rcent of debris removal efforts and the y of San Diego will pay the remaining percent for those uninsured. During lews conference Thursday in Rancho rnardo, San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders, urged people in the community to sign up for the project in order to speed up the removal process. "The program will make sure that homeowners are protected from scam artists and make sure that their properties are cleaned up in an environmentally proper way," said Mayor Sanders. On Oct. 28, the Chargers hosted a home game at Qualcomm stadium, which just days prior housed more than an estimated 10,000 evacuees according to numbers released at the City of San Diego website. Fans donated more than $72,500 at the game and the donations were immediately handed over to the Salvation Army and family members of injured firefighters. According to the Associated Press, the NFL and NFL Players Association will donate $250,000 through a disaster relief fund, which will directly aid victims of the San Diego wildfires. Celebrities Gwen Stefani and David Beckham also offered donations of their own. Singer Gwen Stefani held a concert in San Diego on Oct. 30 and donated all proceeds from the concert to the San Diego Foundation, a local charity helping victims of the Southern California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my show out of respect, but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution," Stefani said Oct. 29, in a radio interview.

"We feel invisible here on campus," said Sherray Blythe. One of the main concerns at the meeting was increasing the visibility of the BSU at CSUSM. Students suggested reaching out to the community and local high schools to promote the presence of a united African-American community at CSUSM. They also hope to draw more CSUSM students into the group. Because the group is still in its infancy, ironing out the financial situation was also a hot topic on the meeting's agenda. Danyelle, a sophomore, suggested the group look into "creative ways to do fundraising." Apart from the logistical issues covered at the meeting, students were also attentive to the overall welfare of the newly reformed BSU and its members. "We should come together,".said one student, emphasizing the need for "team building activities." The group also communicated intentions to meet and connect with other BSU's as one of many things in store for the future of the BSU. Building on this new momentum, the BSU stands poised to become a prominent presence on campus. The BSU encourages interested students to attend the weekly meetings on Thursdays during University Hour in Library 1111. ¡§ 11:15<4:10PM suspedLprmd 4 ! 1 0 /16|af 1 0:30AM- ' Mlfcc^M -gSj e ^trylrttoi 2 doorHonda JJgjJ | . in l |ff9pri unknown ^ a ^ c t ^ kmedmjot P, ai^'^tempted 21 bro|e icig) a vehicle Osteal vehicfepjf h btwfe^ I a window, but no propëi^was ^p^SrAaf^je d S S ^ ' . s totóril'T^ìy^ j gj •0/18/0l5:25PM lj OaksJ V^l^oplgoffl^p c^tact^B oi ¡2 3 n d i | & i n a Ä 2 | & y o t | Ä ( ¡TtfSfe, SSmrSÊm 1mm ^ ^ S ^ HÄ ptMsmädn p f ^ j ^ g M ^ ™ ^ t wjndMduais w è f ^ ^ ^ p n d * M ù i B,an officer i û m m 2 :00AM A p p l ^ ^ e i p ooifiputertmm^the J individuals \n é^ehicte, a n ^ ^ University Bookstore. f he value foïowedthem on to è &iïgm^ is An 'mm i t | | g | * ¡¡¡¡¡¡I ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡J j1| 8 :20AM-5:30PM m$e • f 2 000 ftldKCivicp a ri^dM'ot < Chavez steps, 1 0/16/071:00AM In paridng lot <X an officer encountered a male under the age of 21, andfoundhim to be in possession of aicxjilii l ^ w a r , j not cited, b utle was referred to I : -'|fe:Peart of S tudentS^^W^M _ In lot N, an officer on bike patrol contacted a couple thai were them over for & traffic vioiatói, * ^ arguing.

Chargers record now 4 - 4 after losing to the Vikings on Sunday BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game fresh off of a heartwarming victory last week in fire ravaged San Diego. The Chargers stepped onto the field in Minnesota, Sunday looking to capitalize on a 2-5 Vikings team that has already seen its ups and downs. Vikings rookie running back, Adrian Peterson stood between the Chargers, and their hopes of winning their fourth straight game. Peterson, one of the highest touted rookies drafted in April, saw huge success at the University of Oklahoma, where he set the NCAA freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards en route to nearly winning the Heisman Trophy. While the Chargers scored f irst, on a LaDainian Tomlinson rush, the real story was the p erformance of Peterson. Peterson rushed his way into the record books, passing Jamal Lewis by one yard for first all-time rushing yards in a game, with 296 yards. Peterson first struck near the two-minute mark in the first quarter on a short rush to the left. Despite Peterson's performance, the biggest highlight came at the end of the second quarter, when Viking's kicker, Ryan Longwell missed a 57-yard field goal. Waiting in the end zone was Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who caught CLASSIFIEDS "Loòkmg tohire individual to write a weekly column on ^Wodààtìoa Techaoïogy" its i ters, andtocómepotential.

Minnesota came back strong in third quarter, tying the game at 14-14, as Peterson rushed for a 64 yard field goal. Minnesota scored again, this time through the air, as quarterback Brooks Bollinger passed to wide receiver, Sidney Rice for a 40 yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their last points early on in the fourth quarter, on a 36-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. Adrian Peterson scored once again for the Vikings, this time, at 7:44 in the fourth, rushing for 46 yards. Vikings back up running back, Chester Taylor scored on a two yard rush with 4:28 remaining in the game, to solidify the victory. The final score was 35-17 Vikings, in a game that saw two all-time NFL records get shattered. The Vikings, relying heavily on the success of Peterson, improve their record to 3-5. The loss brings the Chargers to an even 4-4 record, with the pivotal part of the season knocking on the door. The Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday on Sunday Night Football at 5:15 p.m. on NBC. The Colts are fresh off of their first loss of the season, Sunday, losing to the now 9-0 New England Patriots.

The city of Washington D.C. is actually a place to visit if you enjoy cool weather and, of course, the history of the foundation of our country. The city, masked by the White House and Capital building, is one of those places where one would find something to do, even for those who may break into a rash by the thought of a history lesson. With a wide variety of pubs, restaurants and night clubs, there is something to do for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy a good travel back in time, Washington D.C. is a place where you must go at least once in your life time. The most obvious attraction is the White House, where the President and First Lady live. Scores of tourists visit this site every day, as well as its usual batch of anti-Bush protesters. However, while the White House is the icon of the city, its most interesting attractions reside in the National Mall. One must-see spot is the Washington Monument, built in the 1800's in memory of George Washington. It stands more than 500 feet tall, surrounded by American Flags. On any given day one can visit inside the monument and experience the tributes to the nation's first president. To the west of the Washington Monument lies the Reflecting Pool, a wide rectangular pool leading westward to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is one the most breath-taking monuments in the National Mall. Built to commemorate the life and achievement of the nation's 16 president, it consists of a large sculpture of a sitting Lincoln and two of his well-known speeches carved along the walls. But the Lincoln Memorial has also been the site of many famous speeches, including the 1963 Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the height of the civil rights movement. A rectangular step has been carved out in memory of the King's speech at the very spot where he stood all those years ago. The Potomac River is the body of water with its most historical significance in the th area. Once crossed by General Lee to invade the North during the civil war, the Potomac River is also known to be a place where George Washington spent much of his life.

Whether it is keeping a comprehensive planer, organizing notts online; or running a tight ship, in your hack-, pack, everyone has their own ways of keeping organized and boosting productivity. * Over the past few years the productivity niche on the web has boomed to create a monster; "Life Hacking." Don't be scared off by the word "hacking," these websites will not teach you how to gain compromising information by illegally trespassing into somebody's computer. "Life Hacking" is a phrase coined by technology journalist Danny O'Brien who, after polling a group of ultra-productive computer programmers, found that many of these individuals used custom computer programs and scripts to streamline not only work, but life itself. From getting the most out of a dual-monitor display setup, to converting vinyl records to MP3s, to how to argue productively and blog, Lifehacker.com has one of the most diverse structures of the front running "Life Hacking" websites. Lifehacker, which is owned by Gawker Media, launched in Janu- ary of 2005, and is currently the most popular "Life Hacking" site on the web. Lifehacker puts a focus on applying helpful computer or technological solutions to the real world. For instance, how to prioritize RSS feeds in Google Reader when time is short, or providing a way to remind yourself and loved pnes of the time change.

Then there is the egotistical Kobe who was put in his place by Lakers fans when he was booed during introductions opening night. Fans eventually opened up to Kobe as he once again carried the team to a loss. When I saw the introductions to the game and heard the fans booing him, it brought a huge smile on my face. After everything that Kobe has done: forced Shaq out of LA, bought his freedom in Colorado and now demanding a trade from "his" team. Here is some advice for Kobe. Grow Up! Make some sacrifices for once. You can carry a team to a T or 8 seed, but you aren't going to do much more. Since the Lakers were unable to bring any named players in the offseason to you, you are now forced to ask for a trade and deplete a new team. Have you ever thought that BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With so many rumors and signings occurring this week, it seems only right for me to praise Tim Duncan and belittle the selfish A-Rod and Kobe Bryant. I will start by talking about A-Rod and how he choose the biggest day in his sport to announce that he is opting out of his contract. A-Rod showed no respect for the game, the Boston Red Sox, and the World Series - something that he has never played for. A-Rod rejected an offer by the New York Yankees because they failed to offer a prerequisite of $350 million starting bid. Now A-Rod will be looking to capitalize on potential buyers, which seems to only be the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at this time as the Dodgers are unlikely to increase a payroll for a single player when they have a stingy owner who h th you are the reason that no one came to your team this offseason.

But Kobe, if you want to learn how to build a dynasty around yourself, ask Duncan. Duncan once again took a pay cut for his team's future. Duncan just signed a twoyear, $40 million contract extension. Duncan saved the Spurs $10 million a year which will help keep role players as well as bring in other role players. This $10 million pay cut allows the Spurs room to defend their Championship and keeps their dynasty intact. Any comments or questions can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Christmas in October BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Do you know when Christmas starts? Historically, Chflstmas falls on December 25 . Some people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas, or get an advent calendar and count down all the days in December, while doing things like listening to the world's most annoying songs while watching Family Channel holiday movies. You know, I hate the people with advent calendars. Eat your little Christmas tree shaped piece of chocolate every day and shut up. And in case I wasn't angry enough at the 'month o' Christmas' people, I always end up walking into one of those stores that plays "Frosty the Snowman" on a consistent loop starting on Thanksgiving.

Silem Mohammad Flarfpoety gives CSUSM a post Halloween Trick or Treat BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer "When Snoopy goes Hawaiian, is it art?" A shrewd philosophical question posed by contemporary poet K. Silem Mohammad during his reading Thursday Nov. 1 at Cal State San Marcos. Mohammad, author of poetic collections "Deer Head Nation", "A Thousand Devils", and "Breathalyzer", is an associate professor of language, literature, and philosophy at Southern Oregon University. Most notably, however, Mohammad is a key participant in theflarfpoetry movement. While difficult to pinpoint an exact definition, flarf is a fairly new trend in poetry today that focuses on the use of Internet search engines to find and piece together quirky phrases. The end result becomes a purposely disturbing and oftentimes humorous assemblage of nonsense. In Mohammad's own words, flarf itself is "essentially/a method of collage unlike any other." Poet Gary Sullivan first used the term flarf as part of the title of an intentionally bad poem he submitted to Poetry.com in order to test the standards of the publication. Soon after, the Flarflist Collective, a group of writers, including Mohammad and Sullivan, formed. According to Mohammad, the flarf movement originated out of sheer boredom. "It was something to do when you're supposed to be working. A way to avoid facing real life," Mohammad said. For his part, Mohammad kept much ofhis browsing exclusively to Google, com. When asked about his choice in poetic devices, he confessed, "The Google thing is like an addiction. I'm not proud of it." He joked. "I'm like the poster child. Don't let this happen to you." In Mohammad's defense, why bother looking elsewhere when the popular search engine rendered such peculiar lines in the first place? In his poem "Exorcist Voice", Mohammad read, "O.M.G. Your hair is so Jurassic Park," and the poem "Anti Ass" included the line, "Your butt is like a performance car, baby. Uber hotness, like, I don't know." Mohammad's words read strange on paper but as a performance piece, they transformed into a rare interpretive art that left the audience laughing out loud one minute and deep in thought the next. His shift in tone, volume, accent and speed further accentuated humor throughout the evening. In his upcoming book, Dutch Sound, the poem Bionic Iraqis reads "No. I am not okay. You sat on me. Oh well. Enough about me." It's difficult to ignore the controversial nature to Mohammad's choice in poetic titles and content. This poet revels in it, choosing shock value as yet another poetic device. Anything political, contentious, vulgar, or shamefully humorous is fair game in the writings of K. Silem Mohammad. The poet however manages his work with class. No matter how shocking one line may be, the following could potentially have an insightful twist. That ability in itself is exactly what generates such a following for theflarfmovement and Mohammad's poems. The final Community and World Literary Series event this semester is Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in Academic Hall 102. The event will feature readings from native California poet, Joanne Kyger.

Non-fiction Jonah Lehrer "Proust was a Neuroscientist" Photo courtesy ofAmazon.com BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I must admit that I am a procrastinator when it comes to school work. Instead of doing my Spanish homework, I decided to do something else that took up my time. For a lot of my college time, my main distracter was "Guitar Hero". And with "Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock" out for a week now, I can expect my homework to be "forgotten" yet again. In case you've been living under a rock (no pun intended)* for the last year, Guitar Hero is a video game where you use a guitar controller and must hit the fret buttons and strum in time with the song. The first notable thing about the game is the wireless guitar. In the old games, I was always afraid that I would accidentally pull the guitar too hard and disconnect it. Let those fears be put to bed. Now with a wireless guitar, I can freely walk around the room while still rocking out. Another new feature is the co-op career mode. Not only does this mode break down the songs into guitar and bass so that two players can play together, but this is also the only way to unlock certain songs. However, don't fret (again, no pun intended) if you don't have any friends willing to rock out with you, as the single player career mode is still available. The songs featured in this edition cover many aspects of the "rock" genre. If classic rock is your cup of tea, then enjoy the hits "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n' Roses and "La Grange" by ZZ Top. If metal is your favorite, than head-bang to "One" by Metallica and "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Or enjoy the modern hits like "Miss Murder" by AFI and "When You Were Young" by The Killers. So, whether you are a fan of the original "Guitar Hero" games, or just a fan of rocking out to great music, I suggest picking this gem up before the gods of rock take it back.

Do you enjoy fabulous storytelling? Do you want to beat the crap out of every person who rushed to see Saw IV the minute it came out? If so, then shell out a couple of bucks to see "American Gangster", starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the rise and eventual downfall of Frank Lucas, who became a leader of the Harlem drug scene in the late '60s and early '70s. The film does an advis® school job excellent job of portraying a man who is capable of incredibly violent acts, while at the same time caring for his family and running a business. After coming up with an innovative way to get high quality heroin at a bargain price, he brings his entire family into his crime empire, basing it on "honesty, integrity, hard work, never forgetting where we came from." Played with a fine mixture of emotions and appropriate amount of stoicism by Washington, Frank Lucas makes drug running sound like a more decent profession, with better practices, than working for most major corporations. (Hey, isn't it a toss up fair as to whether one would be better off dealing drugs or working for the corporate sector of Walmart?) Like any good crime drama, there's an equal focus on those trying to stop the criminals. Russell Crowe is Richie Roberts, a cop who remains clean in New York City, an almost impossible feat during that era. His dedication to his job, and dogged pursuance of Lucas, take a toll on his personal life, and the audience begins to feel a modicum of pity for him. Admirably, Crowe doesn't play the part as pitiful; he simply plays a man on the edge, who needs a solid victory against crime to jus- tify the righteousness he exhibits. Critics have said that the film only truly develops the two main characters. This is, for the most part, true. Several smaller characters in both Lucas' and Roberts' orbit are still infused with passion though, and without them, the personal interactions Beer of the we e K w eek Oktoberfest BY JONATHAN THOMPSON taste and more alcohol.

In the I summer of 1988, Chris ¡visited Fremantle, Australia and became fascinated with micro brewing. He returned f rom the vacation and began discussing plans with Matt to open their own micro brewery. Fortunately, C hris' uncle Karl Strauss had extensive knowledge in brewing beer. Karl Strauss was a renowned German brewmaster and knew the business of beer. Pastel yellow and blue hues dominate the cardboard container of Oktoberfest. A colorful scene of energetic and happy people enjoying themselves and healthy servings of beer marks the main portrait of the packaging. The scene most likely depicts a common sight during Oktoberfest. A red bottle cap with the breweries logo seals a 12 ounce beer with a 4.9 percent alcohol by volume. The dark golden amber beer pours smooth like a running creek and generates a quarter inch thick head. The beer has a pleasantly faint aroma that sooths the soul. The beer enters the mouth and quickly resonates with the taste buds. For a second or two the beer floods all aspects of the mouth with powerful surges of spiciness from the hops. A dry tingling sensation lingers as the beer trickles down the t hroat The distinguished tasteful sip creates anxiety within the brain as the brain craves for more of the now famed beer. The seasonal beer should disappear like a magician's trick from store shelves in the following weeks. Images courtesy of Universal Studios on which the film is built would feel empty. As I said, the sign of a good crime drama is a clear focus on both the criminals and those trying to apprehend them. The sign of a great crime drama is one that has half the audience, or more, rooting for the 'bad guy'. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Though it was a running joke that he and Jon Stewart would run for the presidency, there was no seriousness in this idea. That is, until Oct.16, when Colbert announced he would run for president on the Democratic ballot in South Carolina. A few weeks later, the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council rejected his candidacy in a 13-3 vote. Given the nature of his show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report, many felt he would not be a serious candidate. "The general sense of the council was that he wasn't a serious candidate and that was why he wasn't selected to be on the ballot," said Joe Werner, director of the S.C. Democratic Party. Colbert's brief candidacy raises important questions as to whether or not someone with no official government experience could become president. His candidacy has also drawn comparisons to both Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both actors turned government leaders. In less than a month the "1,000,000 Strong for Stephan T Colbert" Facebook group gained almost 1.5 million members, and continues to grow. But, he certainly has had more appeal to the youth of the country than other possible candidates.

CFA President Lillian Taiz cites a "large expenditure of foundation funds to further compensate already well-paid executives" as yet another faulty executive compensation practice. Despite these proclamations, CSU officials rendered a much more optimistic analysis of the findings of the audit. In a message to all CSU employees issued Nov. 6, Chancellor Reed maintains "the findings show that no policies were violated, and concludes that none of the actions taken by the CSU were inappropriate." According to the Chancellor, "the CSU is open to having audits because I believe that audits give us the opportunity to examine our policies and our processes and improve them. The CSU's official response to the report states, "the CSU agrees in nearly all cases with the auditor's recommendations." * The marked polarity of these responses suggests the debate over executive compensation practices in the CSU system will endure for some time to come. Given criticism of growing executive salaries amidst gaping budget shortfalls, this issue could very well prove to be a point of contention at the upcoming CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. The Trustees will meet this week to discuss and vote on the CSU's budget request. Among their considerations, the Trustees will be forced to reckon with Governor Schwarzenegger's recent warning that the State budget shortfall will increase by $2 billion. He also cautioned all State departments to anticipate budget cuts upwards of 10 percent. Although CSU indicated they "will be acting on some recommendations immediately and on the others as soon as feasible," the meeting schedule released on the CSU website does not indicate the Trustees will address the findings and recommendations of the audit report at the meeting this week. However, the Trustees have made official plans to discuss the matter when they meet again in January. sen poll placed Colbert ahead of Republican candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich. A similar poll placing Colbert against Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton showed Colbert at 12% support, mainly in the 18-29 age bracket. It started as a joke, but it was serious enough for South Carolina to take action. Though not made public, another reason against letting him run is the fact that, should he win, it would take away elec- toral votes from other candidates. This would be similar to the situation in pre-civil war times when Republican Abraham Lincoln won as president because the Democrats were split between their north and south candidates.

Originally known as Armistice Day, the 11th of November is what we now call Veteran's day in the United States. It is dedicated to remembering those who have served in any of the five branches of the armed forces. At CSUSM, an event was held Thursday during University Hour to commemorate the holiday. However, for some CSUSM students the day is just another reminder of the struggles our men and women are facing, both at home and abroad. With Camp Pendleton—one of the largest military bases in the United States—just west of campus, the population of military personnel and their families at the university is strikingly high. CSUSM Psychology major Bianca Reynoso said she finds her husband's deployments hard to deal with, especially on top of having to deal with the stress of being a student. She said she has been through four deployments—three of which have been to Iraq and one to Korea, and insisted it is important to see the holiday as more than just a day off from school and work. "They sacrifice a lot," she said. "In other countries it is mandatory to be in the military, but here it is optional." Reynoso said that when her husband, a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is deployed it just adds to her stress because "When he's gone I'm all alone, there is no one to come home to, not to vent to about my day," she said. While CSUSM offers services for veterans at Craven Hall where Vets can come for assistance with GI Bills and various application processes, Reynoso said she wished there was some sort of support group for the families of those who have someone fighting overseas. "It would be cool if they had a group of spouses," she said. "That way when your husband is gone you can find support from other people who are going through the same thing." November is Native American Month. American Indian Student Alliance's CSUSM chapter is hosting several events to honor the occasion. Several Speakers have been arranged to speak on Native American culture. Speakers include Earl Sisto and Mel Vernon. Earl Sisto's discussion will focus on urban and reservation life for Native Americans at noon in the Forum Plaza. Mel Vernon will be speaking on protecting and preserving Native American culture on Nov. 27. Movies, produced by natives such as "Smoke Signals, In the Light of Reverence," and "We are Still Here" are showing throughout the month. The two-time Sundance award winning movie "Smoke Signals" is playing at 4 p.m. in Markstein Hall. "In the Light of Reverence," afilmillustrating the struggles of Natives to preserve sacred rights is showing in Clarke 131 at 6 p.m. "We are Still Here," a film exploring the Cahuilla Natives from Southern California is playing in Arts 240 at 4 p.m. A discussion panel will follow the viewing of "In the Light of Reverence and We are Still Here." A basket weaving demonstration hosted by Yvonne Trottier, will be held on Nov. 15 and the Texcatlipoca Dancers are performing on Nov. 29 at noon in the Forum Plaza. Claudia McCrane, president of the AISA, said the purposes of these events are to "honor Native American culture and tradition as well as giving students an opportunity to learn about their origins and ancestry." AISA is working together with the Tribal Task force to help native families who have been affected by the recent fires. They are putting together a drive for food, blankets, clothes, and bedding. In addition, AISA and the Tribal Task force will provide a dinner for the 29 La Jolla families who lost their homes in the fires. For students who are interested in getting involved throughout the year look at AISA's web site: www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information. iPhone Killer? The Googleverse is about to get a whole lot bigger BY ELBERT'ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Apparently Google has borrowed a step Microsoft - conquering the Internet just wasn't enough for them. Though there is not an actual, physical phone as of yet, the confirmation of Google's step into the mobile market has been met with both immense anticipation and speculation. The hope is that consumers utilize their software to add new appli- cations and upgrades to already existing phones and future smartphones beginning sometime next year. Some of the early feedback on the project has already dubbed it the iPhone killer because of Google's almost limitless innovations in software design and advancement. "You will be able to do amazing things with your mobile device that you had never thought of before,", said Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. "This announcement is more ambitious than any single Google Phone that the press has been speculating about over the past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful p latform w e're u nveiling w ill p ower thousands of different phone models." Among the companies that have thrown their support include some of the big mobile companies like LG Electronics, Samsung, and Motorola. If these companies decide to implement the Google software, then that would get rid of the Windows Mobile Media which they have paid to use. Google's platform would be free. This platform is being tentatively called Android and hardware and software support from over 30 companies. Qualcomm Inc., the local telecommunications devel- In today 's technology oper based out of Sorrento Valley, is also included. Local providers Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint-Nextel also are building upon negotiations with Google to use their services with their phones, a contrast to the exclusive contract that AT&T Wireless and Apple has had to market their iPhone. As the anticipation continues to build, there has also been a share of detractors who are also eager to call it a failure before it even hits the market. "When all is said and done, Google is actually not a charismatic company that can make this new platform happen in a big way," commented John C. Dvorak, a PC Magazine writer. "The most successful [phone] looks to be the iPhone, but much of that enthusiasm has to do with the mystique of Apple and the promotion of the phone's "uniqueness." And the phone is indeed unique." With already 3 billion cell phones out in the market, such diversity could also open new doors for Google as they want people to use phones as easy as their other software. The first phone should be out sometime in the middle of 2008. C SUSM S tudents with a valid School ID receive an extra 1 5 % off Tanning and Salon products A ZUSA PACIFIC ZACH MILLER, B.S.

Digg.com combines aspects of social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication to create one of the best sources of news on the web; for the people, by the people. The premise of Digg, is that after users submit links to news stories, the stories are voted on (dugg) by other users for content, relevance, and interest. If a story receives enough votes, it will be displayed on the front page of the site. This method offers a variation from the standard editorial system of major news websites. Digg categorizes submissions under a number of categories, all of which include sub-categores that delve deeper into the specifics of an article. The Main categories include: News, Technplogy, Science, World and Business, Sports, Entertainment, and Gaming. There fare also sections for Videos and Podcast^. ¿ D iggcovers a hugely broad range of headlines, from "Linux wins Nigerian school desktops back from Microsoft" to "Mark Wahlberg will star in Max Payne movie!" Digg has been subject to a number of complaints, mainly centered around the idea that the users have too much control over content, thus harvesting potential misinformation. In early May, Digg came under fire after a user posted an encryption key for cracking the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats. Digg took action on the advice of lawyers and took down the story. The Digg community revolted after what was the site's first major sign of editorial, censorship, and banded together to include the encryption key in numerous front page submissions and comments. The actions of the users prompted this statement from digg founder Kevin Rose: "After seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you've made it clear. You'd rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company." Digg takes out the middle man and allows the readers themselves to decide what is interesting. Digg.com is revolutionizing the way news is delivered, read, and perceived. I Wä^^ng* ^TtüfFic* and High Gums Príccs?

JPhqto courtesy ofKyle Trembley, Sports Information Director Chargers move intofirstplace with big win over Colts BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday night's game with a record of 4-4, looking to capitalize on the Indianapolis Colts loss of momentum. The Colts received their first loss of the season in week nine against the New England Patriots, in the most highly touted game of the season. The Chargers struck quick and held the lead, relying on their superb pass protection, in front of a packed and soggy Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers came right out of the gate with a bang, as Darren Sproles returned the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a touchdown. Seven plays into the ensuing Colts possession, Quarterback Peyton Manning threw an interception to Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie. Cromarte has made a name for himself in the past four weeks, intercepting six passes; three of which were in Sunday night's game. Just under three minutes later another Manning pass was intercepted, this time by linebacker, Shaun Phillips. Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding nailed a 33-yard field goal at the 7:14 mark in the first quarter, bringing the Chargers lead to 1 0-0. After a three-and-out drive by Indianapolis, Darren Sproles returned yet another kick or a touchdown, this time a punt for 4 5 y ards. Later in the first, yet another Manning pass was intercepted, again by Antonio Cromartie. Through only 15 minutes of play Manning had already thrown three interceptions. 22 seconds into the second quarter, another Manning pass was picked off by Cromartie, making it Cromartie's third interception of the game, tying his season total in just under 16 minutes of play. The Chargers scored again with 8:47 to go in the second quarter, on a LaDainian Tomlinson four yard rush, pushing the lead to 23-0. The Colts finally got on the board late in the second, as Manning passed to wide receiver* Reggie Wayne for eight yards.

The Chargers took a 23-7 lead into half time, providing some cushion for the unpredictable Colts offense lead by Manning. Manning's unpredictability continued into the third quarter, as he threw his fifth interception, this time picked off by linebacker Matt Wilhelm. The Colts comeback push started early in the fourth quarter as Manning passed to reserve running back, Kenton Keith for a seven yard touchdown, then converted the two point attempt on a pass to tight end, Bryan Fletcher. On the ensuing possession, Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers fumbled. The ball was recovered by Colt's linebacker, Gary Bracket in the end zone for a touchdown. The Colts failed the two point attempt, keeping the score at 23-21, Chargers. The Colts, down by just two points had an opportunity to take the lead with 1:30 left in the game, and kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed his second field goal of the night. This kick was an easier 29-yard shot, and this time, costing the Colts the lead, and potentially the victory. The Chargers narrowly escaped the Colts after scoring no second half points, on the way to one of their biggest wins of the season. The loss brings the Colts record to 7-2. The Chargers are now 5 -4 v and have sole possession of first place. The Chargers travel to Florida next Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

But the looks could be deceiving as the Ducks have played two more games than the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks who trail the Ducks by one point. But with only seven wins in 18 games, the Ducks need help. Niedermayer's free agent replacement, Mathieu Schneider recently returned from the injured reserve and has helped spark the team to a 3-1-1 record over five games where he has two goals and five assist in that span. But if the Ducks want to make a push in the playoffs, they will need to find out what Niedermayer's plans are. Is he going to retire, or is he going to return. So they can make moves to improve the team. But the main hope is that he will return to the team next month, where he will earn near $4 million of his $6.75 million contract, saving the Ducks $2.75 million in salary cap room and having a possibility to make a move towards acquiring a possible star forward who will become a free agent towards the trade deadline.

Broadway has done this well with ABBA and Billy Joel in "Mamma Mia!" and "Movin' Out", respectively. However, there have been limited voyages into the film medium. For the longest time, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" has been the only entry to speak of in this sub-genre. But thanks to the work of director Julie Taymor, a fitting musical tribute has been made to the Beatles in "Across the Universe". "Across the Universe" is the story of Jude, a 20-something British man, who travels to America to meet his father. In the process, he meets Max, a college student, and they become friends after some 'American hospitality' and 'a little help from his friends'. When Jude goes to Max's home for Thanksgiving, he meets his sister Lucy, with whom he falls in love. Then begins the main plot as the three travel to New York City to see what life is all about. Along the way they meet Sadie, a middle aged club singer, Jo Jo, a guitarist who suffered through the Detroit City Riots, and Prudence, a young women who discovers Image courtesy ofInterscope.com she is different from other girls. These characters share experiences in turbulent 1970s America. All the while, 30 Beatles songs are masterfully splashed into the plot. Plus, the cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Selma Hayek, Joe Cocker, and others pack a musical punch. But unlike recent celluloid musicals, "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge", "Hairspray", the main characters in this movie are likely to be performers you are not familiar with. The difference is they do not go 'over the top' in their performances and can flat out sing. For Beatles fans, this movie has some surprises as songs lyrics are woven into the dialogue and as you may have guessed, the characters names. When you take the music from the greatest group of all time and put it in a musical, it is no surprise that it would also be great. This movie caused me to fall in love all over again with some of my favorite songs, and I now have the soundtrack on my iPod constantly. Despite a few scenes of weak dialogue, this movie is awesome. It opened in select cities a while back, but now is coming to local theaters, so check your local listing. All you need is love, and to see this movie. Pub & Grill BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Abita Brewing Company brews Purple Haze in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita Springs sits 30 miles north of New Orleans. Currently, the company brews over 62,000 barrels of beer and 3,000 barrels of root beer. Unlike most root beer companies, the brewery uses sugar cane as the source of sugar for their root beer. The brewery has a diverse line of brews including Turbodog which earned number one beer in America by "Stuff Magazine" in August, 2005. The brewery proudly uses Abita pure spring water that has been tested free of manmade contaminants. The brewery solely utilizes spring water, malted bare1 e y, hops, and yeast in all of their recipes. The brewery does not use preservatives. They also focus on being an environmental efficient company. The brewery uses 70% less energy than traditional brewing methods. They also maintain a wastewater treatment plant and use a specific packaging technique to ensure the lowest usage of recycled paper as possible. The depleted grain and hops employed in the manufacturing process feeds cattle for local Abita farmers. Naturally, purple hues dominate the cardboard packaging containing six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The design of the content printed on the packaging remains simplistic and elementary. The labels on the bottles contain the same format. However, a shiny silver line adds charisma to the shades of purple. A silver bottle cap with the word "Abita!" stamped onto it caps a beer with 4.75% alcohol by volume. The raspberry wheat beer pours smooth with almost no head. Aromas similar to raspberry champagne occupy the surrounding atmosphere. The beer also mimics the bright golden rays comparable to most champagne. The beer sends tingling sensations to the tongue and cheeks upon entry. A mellow sensation follows after the beer descends onward. The beer has a more biscuit flavor than raspberry flavor. Only briefly between sip and swallow can traces of raspberry be found. The brewers recommend enjoying the beer with salads or light f ruit desserts. They even recommend enjoying the beer as a dessert after dinner by itself. For another delicious f ruit oriented brew, consider sampling Pyramid's Apricot Hefeweizen. Cheers! BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The moment I walk into Hensley's Flying Elephant Pub and G rill, I am greeted with a warm and cheerful feeling. The décor is a little rockabilly, a little California, punk rock, and Irish. Powerful red walls and black highlightsflowthroughout the restaurant.

There is usually something going on every night of the week. Regular spots are filled Wednesday through Saturday with live music and Sunday is Happy Hour all day. Tuesday nights the pub features an eightball double elimination pool tournament. Registration for the tournament is eight dollars and prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place. On Wednesday nights, Joe Wood and the Lonely Boys entertain patrons with road- house blues. On Thursday nights, the owner, Matt Hensley, formerly of the band Flogging Molly, and friends play traditional Irish music. Saturday nights feature various artists and often host philanthropic events to benefit the local community. Check out the web site for changes or special events at wwwhensleyspub.com. Football and soccer are viewed on plasma screens above the bar. In the back of the pub is a dance floor and stage for special events and parties. The most popular dish on the menu is the $2.95 fish taco. Entrees vary in price from $5.25 for sandwiches to $15.00 for the Guinness battered shrimp. Throughout the week, the pub offers specials on drinks and on Sundays the Happy Hour menu includes a variety of dishes. Music starts early so come around 7:30 to enjoy the entertainment with dinner.

Over the past five years, tuition has increased in the CSU and UC system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively. For lower, working, and now even middle class California students, a college education is quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement could change all of that. California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing the first-ever student-led ballot initiative to freeze tuition in the CSU and UC systems. If passed, the initiative would suppress any further tuition increases for the next five years and would not permit subsequent tuition increases to surpass the rate of inflation. See INCREASE, page 2 President Haynes announces Brakebill award recipient BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 16, President Karen Haynes announced Dr. Juan Necochea will be the recipient of the 2008 Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award. The highest faculty honor awarded at CSUSM, the Brakebill award is granted annually to a faculty member that demonstrates extraordinary achievement in teaching. The award derives its name from former executive vice chancellor of the Cal State University, Harry E. Brakebill.

Out of the closest CSU campuses in the area, San Marcos has the most expensive prices compared to San Diego State University's parking permits, which went for $135 for Fall 2007. CSU Fullerton had theirs for $144 and Long Beach for $98.

CSU Board of Trustees submit 2 008/09 budget proposal Student fees slated to increase in near future BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary draft of a state budget request for the 2008/09 CSU academic year. During the brief plenary meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state audit issues on CSU executive compensation. The temporary committee will report to the Trustees during their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Long Beach. The Trustees also established a budget request asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for state funding for the 2008/09 school year. The governor will announce his proposed budget for the state of California by Jan. 10. The budget request also called for another 10 percent student fee increase in the CSU system. $24 8 Cross country competes in NAIA championship BY TIM MOORE Dina Cervantes, Chair of the housing and transportation costs Pride Staff Writer California State Student Asso- and having to work multiple CSUSM cross country ciation, and Lieutenant Governor jobs.

The Regents and Board of Trustees rejected his proposals last week. "The legislature and the governor don't always make things happen that people want to happen," said campaign director Chris Vaeth in a conference call with student reporters on Nov. 13. Having submitted the initiative, the group will wait on the Attorney General to draft the official title and summary to appear on the petition forms. Volunteers will then collect signatures from January all the way up to the April 17, 2008 deadline. In order to make the ballot for the November 2008 elections, the group will be forced to collect over 400,000 signatures by the April deadline. According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group, Tuition Relief Now has compiled a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations, "creating a large volunteer base throughout the UC and C SU" "Because this campaign is volunteer-driven, we have really been trying to increase student organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching out to community colleges, high school students, parent organizations, and other community organizations that would have a vested interest in this campaign," said Rosales. Although the group has made an effort to reach out to the UC and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the matter. "I think once this initiative is filed, it will start to shake out... where people place themselves in support of the initiative and then what they put towards it in terms of volunteers and resources. While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that there is also a "corollary benefit" offered by the initiative. Anyone who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter, a challenge that the group will meet by offering on-the-spot voter registration. As a result, Vaeth claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young voters. les, addressed the Committee on Finance saying "Faculty live Garamendi was quick to point with the consequences on our stuout the political underlying of such dents of your decisions.

Under the Higher Education Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent, which translates to approximately 445,000 students. However, CSU is expecting an additional 4,000 students in the 2008/09 year. So far, those 4,000 students are not funded in the budget, spelling out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional funding from the state. The budget also calls for a three percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff as well as a 2.83 percent increase ($86 million) to address faculty and staff salary lags. According to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the CSU faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent. "This budget request positions the CSU to maintaining access and academic quality," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue to avoid an increase in student fees, and support compensation increases that will help the system make progress toward its goal of paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

Last Sunday, despite having a horrific second half, the Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy night at Qualcomm. The Chargers fortunes were not the same on Sunday, as they traveled to the east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams. Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard started his first game in nearly a month, after coming back from a high ankle sprain suffered in their October 22nd game against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars put up the first points of the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee field goal. Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their first points at Tuesday; November 20, 2007 begins with a question... ... and ends with discovery the ten minute point in the second quarter, on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie Brown through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to 17-3 at halftime. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six yards to the right for a touchdown at the beginning of third quarter, bringing the Chargers within seven points, only for Jacksonville to strike again, this time on a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass. The Chargers got their only passing touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to Antonio Gates through the middle for 24 yards. Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers off track, and leaving them questioning their future in the playoffs. The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the season. The loss brings the Chargers to a record of 5-5, however, they still remain in first place in the AFC West. The Chargers come back home next Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens at 1:15 p.m. on CBS. The 2008 CSUSM Student Research Competition!

O nline sales t his holiday s eason are expected to total between $45 billion to $50 billion, t his is a considerable increase in sales f rom 2006, in which totals reached $34 billion. The holiday shopping season spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day.

Among the f rontrunners f or this holiday season's shopping websites are eBay.com, A mazon, com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com. One of the most recognizable names on the internet is eBay.

Under the leadership of Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate Professor of Music, the two ensembles are looking to fill in their r anks with willing and able musicians. "We want to get as many musicians to come out and try-out as possible," said Dr. Imara. However, he also maintained, " "we want musicians who do have some experience." With the Jazz ensemble in particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz], but we do want people who can read music as well." Like any music group, interested candidates must t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either ensemble. Dr. Imara also noted, "it is a competitive t hing...it's not unlike the track team or the baseball team." While the group does demand a solid musical background, they are also looking to embrace a diverse instrumental arrangement. "We're looking for all instrumental musicians. It doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can b e strings, it can be violin, it can b e any k ind of orchestral instrument." According to Dr. Imara, they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools, churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego. Students can also look forward to seeing the two ensembles playing in and around campus next semester. Interested students can contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007 to arrange a try-out. The Jazz Ensemble meets in ARTS 116 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal Ensemble meets in ARTS 111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dr. Imara urges those interested to contact him as soon as possible so they can begin practicing for next semester. �FEATURES THE PRIDE November is Native American Month CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s activities throughout the year that celebrate and honor Natives in our community. As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to educate students about Native culture and facilitate leadership opportunities for Native American students. The AISA is involved in cultural events and conferences at high schools and colleges within the community. AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances and organizes fundraisers for Native and non-native communities. The purpose statement for AISA is to "increase awareness and acceptance of American Indian Culture and to promote the educational experience of American Indians on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the classroom." AISA provides spiritual leadership and spiritual events for Natives on campus. They have both a male and female spiritual advisor that students are welcome to contact for guidance. Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear- lier this year and the AISA would like to provide a plaque to signify the name change. In cooperation with the Tribal task force, AISA is accepting donations of household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma Casino. People who are interested in making cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at mccra009@csusm.edu to make their donations. Check out the AISA's web site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information on activities throughout the year to get involved in. The AISA is participating in are a sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony to "honor the long night's sleep of the bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local children. AISA will be joining in a drum circle in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many opportunities for students who would like to understand more about their own native culture or become knowledgeable of Native culture.

Major League Baseball announced a profit of over $6 billion and for fans outside of San Francisco, the baseball gods have spoken and the federal grand j ury indicted Bonds on one count of obstruction of justice and four counts of perjury based on 19 lies. The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying about being injected with steroids by longtime friend and trainer Greg Anderson. Anderson, who has been in prison since Dec. 7, 2006 for refusing to testify to a grand j ury about Bonds, was released Thursday. Which brings up the question, is he finally going to speak? Being the conspiracy theorist I am, the first question I asked myself was if there was a reason why Anderson was finally released the day after Bonds was indicted? I feel that since the All-Star game was being played in San Francisco and Bonds on the verge of breaking the homerun record this past season.

The Bank credits Mexican food as an Old Town favorite BY JACKIE CARBA JAL Pride Staff Writer Choosing the right dining locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood for traditional Mexican food and are looking for a little history with your meal, look no further than The Bank of Mexican Food in Temecula. Don't let the name fool you. This doesn't involve the exchange of chimichangas for burritos and food, albeit good food, is not considered currency in Temecula. The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep in the heart of Temecula's Old Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served originally as The First National Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in 1930, closure during WWII, and a short run as an antique shop, The Bank was refurbished into a Mexican style restaurant in 1978. Priding itself as the second oldest restaurant in Temecula, the newly remodeled eatery still maintains t he ambiance of the Old West. Guests receive nothing short of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled doorway of the quaint building with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only other Old Town buildings, but also a fountain waterfall. Upon seating, the server will bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be, take caution in filling up on this complimentary appetizer. Meals range in price from $3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu offers combination platters of up to three traditional Mexican entrees for $8.95. If you consider ordering the El Banco burrito, I suggest requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in your burrito. The carne asada burrito is a great choice. If you prefer your burritos packed with goodness, make sure you fill it Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride up with the beans and rice that come with the plate. Drinks offered include Old Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each entrée comes with rice and beans and select entrees include The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature tortilla shell. The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining in the exclusive bank vault-will stay with you long after the fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit your chip and salsa intake and keep your combination plate to a minimum, you may still have room for one of the three dessert options offered. Aside from the choices of flan and deep fried ice cream, the $2.25 churro definitely takes the cake(so to speak). Filled inside with custard and served with whipped cream, The Bank's churro is a far cry from your typical amusement park treat. With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop there. Old Town Street itself boasts numerous attractions such as old time photography, live entertainment, and nearby wineries. On weekends, The Bank offers an alluring breakfast menu with some entrees served all day. For a dining experience that matches food quality, The Bank proves to be the perfect investment. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Pipeline Porter in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in spring of 1994. The brewery has three main brews: Big Wave Golden Ale; Longboard Islander Lager; and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery brews other specialty beers and limited edition releases, such as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but also sells to other regions in the United States, Japan, and China. The brewery also operates two pubs. Kona released their limited e dition Pipeline Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona Coffee comprises the porter along with chocolate and caramel malts. The porter won a silver medal under the "Other Beer" category in this year's Australian International Beer Awards. The porter's label contains a surfer with a longboard making his way to the ocean to ride some pipelines. Dark brown, light blue and dark orange comprise the colors utilized for the scene. The porter's orange bottle cap caps a beer with an alcohol by volume of 5.4%. The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally, coffee aroma dominates the lovely scent rising from the glass. The porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving the mouth, tongue, and taste buds in state of comatose. The brewery recommends paring the porter with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day. Skip Starbucks on Thanksgiving and stroll over to Beverages and More for a delicious coffee flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and coffee flavors clearly make this brew the best beer of the week for this semester thus far.

Nov. 28 in the President's Boardroom. "Most of us are here for the parking issue." Said student Amethyst Hills. "Why don't we have private or public funding for the parking structure?" AccordingtoPresidentHaynes, the state does not pay for parking facilities, student unions or athletic fees. Therefore, the only way those services are covered is through student fee increases. In regards to funding from donors, President Haynes stated, "It's not highly likely that a donor wants to build a parking lot. Donors want to build academic buildings or make enhancements like they did for Markstein Hall. But parking facilities is generally what the public donors or philanthropists see as something that we need to fund through our own mechanisms by the users of the facilities." One concern for students was where the increased fees would go and whether or not current students would see the effects of the increase in the structures planned in the near future. "What we've done from the beginning and what we continue to do is some of that money that you and staff and faculty pay in parking fees goes to the actual maintenance of parking structures now and some of it is put away in an account that can't be touched for anything but the next parking lot or fees for a new See FORUM, page 2 University Bookstore expansion Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Construction of the new expansion of the University Bookstore on the fifth floor of Craven Hall continues and is expected to be complete by late December.

President Haynes said. With The Pride's last issue in hand, student Yolanda Castaño pointed out the discrepancy among CSU campuses and parkEingOermit prices. DT pR I "It's ridiculous the amount of money we have to pay." Castaño added. President Haynes cited two simple reasons behind the $90 fee increase; the campus is growing and construction costs are higher. She explained that while the excitement of a new campus and the new technology it has to offer is something that draws in admittance, "the downside is some of these other campuses built their parking lots twenty years ago. They're not continuing to build parking so they don't have to bank on it and they're not building parking lots at today's construction costs which are dramatically higher than even when I came here four years ago." The conversation eventually shifted from parking permits to student fee increases.

"Yes, we have the highest park- tional funding to cover the increase in costs of operations, the CSU Board of Trustees have approved a ten percent student fee increase. While many students explained that tuition costs are much higher than expected at such a small campus, President Haynes was quick to point out that CSU campuses as a whole are less expensive than other state colleges. "When you look at the state fees you pay and the local fees for student heath, parking, miscellaneous costs, I have to tell you that while I understand for many people it is a struggle to pay, California State University is one of the least expensive public universities in this nation by $1500 a year," said President Haynes. With no opportune way to change the fee increase of parking permits, students asked where they could go to be heard. President Haynes offered three ways for students to involve themselves with these campus issues. "One, student voices to the legislatures about funding. Two, if you want more information about what's banked in parking, certainly go get it from the people in parking and the Vice Presi- dent in Finance. Three, if there moment?

Homeless in San Marcos BY JESSICA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Students may not be aware of the growing number of homeless people that surround San Marcos. According to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, there were a total of 12 homeless people counted in San Marcos in 2006. They were found behind Palomar College, Mission Rd, Bradley Park, San Marcos Blvd, and Town Center. Outside of the city limits in Escondido where the population is 140,766, 894 homeless people reside. One problem that revolves around this issue is the minimal amount of homeless shelters. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless mentions that there are no homeless facilities in San Marcos. The only assistance available to these people comes from social service agencies that provide care to them. So who exactly are the homeless? According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, out of the 3.5 million people estimated to experience homelessness, 39 percent are children Families make up nearly 33 percent of the homeless. In 2004 the homeless population consisted of 49 percent A frican Americans, 35 percent Caucasians, 13 percent Hispanics, 2 percent Native Americans, and 1 percent Asians. Most people that experience homelessness are victims of domestic violence, drug addicts, people with mental illness, and war veterans. Students interested in helping can volunteer at nearby homeless shelters like Interfaith in Escondido and Brother Bennos in Oceanside. Students can also donate money and food to these shelters. The North County Food Bank, located in San Marcos, is especially needy. The North County Times recently reported that food banks are worried about whether they will have enough food to distribute to the homeless after the holidays. This shortage was caused in part by the recent fires that devastated our county. �SPORTS THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Cromartie, Tomlinson guide Chargers to win BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game in Kansas Gity, fresh off of a huge 34-14 win over Baltimore at home last week. The Chargers looked to carry that momentum into Arrowhead Stadium, where they took on the Chiefs in a heated AFC West contest. Defense got the job done on Sunday, and thanks to a pair of interceptions by rising star, Antonio Cromartie, the Chargers got a much needed win; 24-10.. These two teams faced off on September 30, resulting in a 30-16 Chargers loss. The Chiefs put the first points on the board on Sunday, thanks to a 38-yard John Carney field goal. The Chargers answered back with a 25-yard Nate Kaeding field goal at the 5:25 mark in the first quarter. Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers showed some weakness early on, throwing an interception to Kansas City cornerback, Ty Law. Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie intercepted Kansas City quarterback, Damon Huard for 28-yards, on the following possession. The score remained at 3-3 up until the 5:23 mark in the second quarter Huard put the Chiefs up by a touchdown on two-yard pass to Jared Allen. Philip rivers displayed his air game, passing 38-yards to meet wide receiver, Vincent Jackson in the end zone for an impressive touchdown that tied the game up at 10-10. The score would remain the same going into the halftime, only for LaDainian Tomlinson pick things up in early in the third, rushing for 31-yards and a touchdown. Tomlinson struck again, this time, early in the fourth quarter, with another long run for a touchdown. The touchdown was Tomlinson's 111th in his career, passing the legendary Walter Payton for third place on the all-time rushing touchdowns list. Antonio Cromartie intercepted yet another pass, this time, with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Cromarte leads the league in interceptions, with eight. Cromartie's interception sealed the game at 24-10, but it was Tomlinson's achievements that took over the post-game interviews. On passing Walter Payton on the alltime rushing touchdowns list, Tomlinson said "It's definitely an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath with, in my opinion, the greatest running back that has ever played the game." The Chargers appear to be running away with first place in the AFC West with a record of 7-5. The Denver Broncos are in second place with a 5-6 record. The Chargers go into Tennessee next Sunday to take on the 7-5 Titans at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

All around the county and the rest of the nation, various organizations and charities set up fundraisers and donations to make sure everyone receives a little holiday cheer. On campus, ASI is hosting a toy drive with the national charity foundation, Toys for Tots until Friday Dec. 7. All toys must be new and in their original packaging. Anyone with donations can drop off the toys at the ASI Business office, Recreation Center, or UVA Lobby. For more information, contact Jamie Inarda at inard001@csusm.edu. The Southern California wildfires in October left thousands without homes for the holidays. The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help aid fire victims. For information on stations in the area, visit www. redcross.org. The Native American Alliance for Emergency Preparedness is also looking for donations to help assist families of the eleven tribes in San Diego affected by the wildfires. In addition to damage of homes and land, the fires from the La Jolla reservation melted away the water lines, severely damaging their water source. To offer donations through the Native American Environmental Protection Coalition, visit www. naepc.org. The San Diego Foundation is currently seeking donations for their 'After the Fires Fund 2007' campaign. Their website offers donors the opportunity to select from which specific would prefer to donate to. Visit www.sdfoundation.org/fire2007/ for more information. Father Joe's Villages in San Diego is an organization that helps the homeless. People can help out by making cash donations, donate clothing, appliances, furniture, personal hygiene products and other dry goods, food donations, vehicle donations and through volunteer work. The best way for students to volunteer is by helping serve meals. For infor- mation on how to help, contact www.fatherjoesvillages.org. Being away from loved ones during the holidays is especially tough. Operation Homefront is a non-profit organization designed to provide emergency assistance and help increase moral to United States troops and their families. Anyone interested can visit www. o perationhomefront.net. Operation Homefront also sponsors the program eCarePackage, available at www.ecarepackage.org. Through I the program, people I can sponsor a service t member and therefore I send gifts and necessi* ties to service members | through a safe distribut tor. Sponsors can also e contact their service member through the website. All of these organizations and charities are available year round but if the urge to give strikes during this time of year, it may be best to act now. These examples are just few of the hundreds of thousands available. Local churches and schools are also great places to contact to help out families and children. Whether its buying an inexpensive gift at Wal-Mart or picking out canned food from the pantry, no effort will go unappreciated. For those who have grown used to expecting the worst, a little bit goes a long way.

BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In today % technology Apple unveils their new cat with big claws Attention M ac users - that rejoicing you hear is the familiar s ound of sweet bliss BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer The nation was graced recently when OS X vl0.5 Leopard went on sale at all retailers. Apple is determined to revolutionize the interface of their existing platform and throw it into overdrive. This was the first major update to their existing OS in more than two years, which in Apple's lifetime is considered two years too long. OS X 10.4, or Tiger, came across as everything people wanted in an operating system with useful applications like Spotlight, Dashboard and VoiceOver. Packed with more than 300 new and improved features over Tiger, Leopard is available at a price point starting at a modest $129. New Macs bought a fter October requires an additional $9.95 to have Leopard installed. Minimum requirements to r un the new system are 867 MHz G4 or G5 system with an Intel processor and 512 MB of RAM with at least 9 GB of storage. A DVD reader or burner is also required. Among the major features users will encounter almost immediately include Time Machine, which backs up files after they've been modified. It checks every hour for files that have been modified and copies them to the hard drive. That being said, it would be a good idea to think about purchasing an external hard drive as well. Screen Sharing allows remote access to your computer and vice versa through another via iChat. Leopard utilizes progressive rendering to recreate desktops so that if you're slowed down by a long connection, the process doesn't happen pixel by pixel. This enables people to share photos or music or anything else with friends without having to share an entire hard drive. The Finder has a glossy new facelift as well. Some features now share similarities to the UI in iTunes 7, which includes Cover Flow. The Dock sports a nice reflective shelf for applications to reside to incorporate a stacked view of icons in both a fanned and a grid arrangement. Even Spotlight, which first introduced on Tiger, has received a very substantial upgrade. Users can now search across multiple computers on the same network - u seful for those with a laptop and desktop, or for homes and businesses in which files are randomly stored all over the place. But like any good household, why make the computer a mess? Simply put without expanding on all 300-plus features, Leopard exceeds Apple's vision of perfection. The expectations for it aren't as daunting unlike the arrival of Windows Vista which came under heavy scrutiny for a number of bugs and lack of software compatibility. Asking to compare the two would be like arguing over the same side of a coin. The bottom line is that Leopard provides an elegant UI that Image Courtesy of Apple Inc. The Leopard introduction video now s ports a starry background to complement the outer s pace theme of Time Machine. makes productivity or leisure on a Mac a pleasurable experience. It is a sophisticated, well-crafted piece of technological tool packed with many surprises that does very little to disappoint. �JL l j i l 1 V J l \ J L / 0 F EATURES THE PRIDE ; Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Websit^of The W eek illllllllSllSll BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer a live television show to the desktop.

Then at the end of the day, you will have a clear No. 1 and No. 2 playing in the BCS championship. You will have a clear No. 3 and No. 4 playing at the Rose Bowl. And then the four teams that loss in the first round, you match them up and let them play one another in the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls. But then again, there are still flaws to the system. Just like one can always argue that this team deserved to be in the BCS championship game instead of this team, which always becomes easier after the games are played and there is a blowout. Or this team didn't win their conference; therefore we aren't going to give them a chance at a championship. No matter what happens, or what satisfaction comes for some schools like Hawaii who are finally going to have a chance to prove themselves to a competitive team that felt like they were robbed out the BCS championship game. Now Georgia, like USC are going to have to come out firing on Jan. 1 as Georgia had a chance to make it the BCS championship game but were unable to capitalize like LSU did with a victory over No. 14 Tennessee. But Georgia is going to have a hard time defending one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league. In a must win game against Washington, Brennan completed 42 of 50 passes for 442 yards and 5 touchdowns. Now with a month of rest, Brennan will be the healthiest he has been in a while and will be looking to lead the Warriors to one last victory.

They alone have mastered the skill of making movies with humor and action. Each one has something familiar to each other, but they are all original and refreshing. "No Country For Old Men" is the same. This film has me laughing out loud one moment and out of my chair from tension the next. The direction and performances are doses of brilliance seen so rarely these days. Even though this film has strong hints f rom their other flicks such as "Fargo" and "O Brother, Where A rt Thou" it stays completely original and entertaining. The story follows many characters who become intertwined a fter a d rug deal gone wrong in late 20th century Texas. We follow Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a country man who stubbles upon $2 million while hunting one day. Since the cash was involved in a bloody d rug t raffic incident, he is in big risk. When angry Mexicans, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), and a psychotic killer named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) enter the scene, the chase is on. But where this movie soars is in the details. The cinematography and acting are brilliant. Tommy Lee Jones, who has recently been reduced to bad comedies, is on top form. For more proof see "The Three Burials of Melquiadas Estradas", which he also directed. As well Brolin is excellent as a man on the run. But the real award for acting goes to Bardem who gives one of the best performances of a killer in Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures a long time. He has depth unlike so many other villains. And though he is extremely clever, he also makes mistakes, adding to the realism of the piece. I cannot speak highly enough for this film, "No Country For Old Men", is one of the best of 2007. Already it is number 23 on the IMDB top 250 films of all time with an astounding rating of 8.9 out of ten. This film is only for those who can handle intense visuals and tension, but it so worth it. Be prepared to j ump from you seat and yell "Oi!" This is one to watch over and over, so be sure to see it. Rock Band- It goes to eleven BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer After you master Dragonforce on "Guitar Hero 3", where do you go? There is not much more to do besides practice going between the green and orange buttons faster. Well, if you want a little bit more, whether it be new songs, or even a different instrument, "Rock Band" is the game for you. You can still play guitar or bass, but this game takes it two steps further and allows you to hammer it out on drums or wow the crowd with vocals. That's right you have to sing. This game follows very heavily in the vein of the "Guitar Hero" series. The BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer button structure on the stringed instruments is the same from green to orange. Plus the game is just as difficult on expert. But this one has something that sets it a little bit higher, it is simply more f un. With the capability ofhaving four people, all on different instruments, it naturally is more enjoyable. It is not just about who is better, but also working together to score big. When one person fails, it is up to the rest of the band to "save" them. Playing the drums is addicting and laughs cannot be more bountiful than watching someone trying to keep up singing. The graphics may be a bit weak, but when you are playing with three other people, it feels like you are actually performing. As for the selection of songs, they could not have done better. They took the best songs from some of the greatest bands through rock history to make this game soar. So whether you drum, strum, or sing, anybody can enjoy the pure f un in "Rock Band". I can honestly rate this game very highly. But as you may be aware there is a big problem with this game, namely the price. If you want to rock, you have got to pay. Those who can afford it, go for it. Otherwise, write Santa daily. This game is the perfect blend of f un, difficulty, and rock. music, and a Big Santa.

The budget cut also assumes another ten percent student fee increase—the sixth in the last seven years. The 2008 Presidential P rimary Elections kicked o ff in Iowa on Jan. 3. Democratic Presidential h opeful Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mike Huckabee won the most delegates f rom their respective parties. Since, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton appears to be the frontrunner while the Republican Party still remains split among three candidates. A fter t wo months of striking and negotiations producing no resolution, the on-going Writers Strike sidelined the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Awards were instead announced in a press conference like format. The Board of Trustees meet today and tomorrow to discuss the Governor's budget cuts and review hiring and compensation practices in its response to the State Audit released last month.

H istì • 9.159 187 1 1 1 m i Students < Tenure/tenure Spring I •; track Semester Blood, Sweat, Tears, Resolution BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Well, the Pride has made its usual N ew Years' resolutions. Try not to piss o ff the administration to the point that they have us all killed by assassins. Lose 150 lbs (well, our old editor graduated so we've already completed that one). Keep the office cleaner, or teach the roaches to copy edit. As for me, I have my own set of resolutions. For example, if I lose 40 pounds, my boyfriend is going to propose. S o...I'm going to gain 50. That immediately gets rid of the "eat less cookies" and "exercise more" resolutions. Excellent. My second resolution is obviously to stop by pet stores and look at kittens more often. They make me happy, and my cat's starting to get a little shabby around the edges. Never too early to start shopping for a replacement. Resolution number three: get a Wii. Due to a nasty flu/migraine/ PLAGUE combo* I'm still behind on work f rom last semester, arid then I 'll have all the school work this semester, and the newspaper. I think now is an ideal time to take up Wii bowling with the grandparents. Plus it's j ust the level of exercise I need to gain those 50 pounds. Ok, I have to make five resolutions. Hmm. So # 4 is clean more often. The cat may not actually be shabby around the edges at all, so much as covered in dust bunnies because she's been napping in my room for so long. And it's not like I have a bad relationship with the vacuum cleaner. I m ean, I enjoy vacuuming. I'm like Vlad the Impaler of dust mites. And the fifth and final resolution of 2008: tell people that I love them more often. However, I don't want to strain myself, so I'm going to do it every other Tuesday between 4 and 5 in the afternoon. I figure three people an hour, once every two weeks, means I 'll tell people I love them about once every six months. That's a good comfortable level. Or really, better yet...#5: t ry every Beer o f the Week. �NEWS Tuesday; January 22, 2008 T H E ( ft P RIDE ;; mrtoKmcnm VÏRI01AHA < É^CIiBCO-ISÀAC V .

L etters t haa ^ Chargers, plagued by injuries fall to undefeated Patriots BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer EDITORIAL STAFF i ndividual T HE P RIDE The Chargers run at playoff glory is over. Just one game away from the Super Bowl, the Chargers were unable to beat the now 18-0 New England Patriots on a frigid day in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The main concern regarding the Chargers going into the game was the uncertainty of the health of team's three offensive gems. Philip Rivers, despite leaving last week's contest with a injured knee, managed to play the entire game, but the injury combined with the sub-freezing temperatures may have lead to Rivers' two interceptions, two sacks, and zero touchdowns. Running back, LaDainian Tomlinson reinjured a bruised knee on the very first play of Sunday's contest. With Tomlinson in the game, the Chargers would have had a better chance to capitalize on their three trips into the red-zone; all of which ended up resulting in field goals. An integral part of the Chargers passing game, tight end, Antonio Gates played the game ailing from a dislocated toe. The injury held Gates to only two receptions for 17 yards. The Chargers got on the board first in this game, on a 26-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. I Early on in the second quarter, Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady orchestrated a 65-yard drive, resulting in a one-yard touchdown from running back, Lawrence Maroney. San Diego pushed all the way to the New England five yard line, only to be forced to kick field goal to brong the score to 6-7. At the four minute mark in the second quarter, Patriots cornerback, Asante Samuel intercepted a Philip Rivers pass for 10 yards, and just two plays later, Tom Brady passed to wide receiver, Jabar Gaffney up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown, bringing the Patriots lead to 14-6. The Chargers closed out the half with Nate Kaeding 40-yard field goal. At the eight minute mark in the third quarter, the Chargers capped off yet another drive deep into New England territory with a Nate Kaeding field goal, this time for 24 yards. New England scored early in the fourth quarter on a Tom Brady to Wes Welker sixyard touchdown, bringing the score to 21-12. San Diego gave one more shot at a comeback, but were derailed by solid New England pass protection. Three Chargers intercepted Tom Brady passes, leaving analysts to question Brady's passing game going iiito the Super Bowl. Antonio Cromartie's third quarter pick was Brady's first red-zone interception in over two years. It took 62 straight red-zone touchdowns for Brady to throw one interception, and it is apt that Cromartie had the honor of catching it. Cromartie capped off a pro-bowl season with a league-leading 10 regular season interceptions, despite starting only eight games.

Known as 'Ask Jeeves' up until early 2006, the engine was famous for encouraging users to pose questions to a fictitious butler, or self-proclaimed, "gentleman's personal gentleman." The concept caught on quickly, but was soon swept under the rug by the simplicity of engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. 10 years and $227 million later, Ask.com is poised to regain the popularity that it once held. Dropping the notion of asking a question, Ask.com has rolled out unprecedented features that allow users to get the absolute most out of searches. Users can chose from eight front page sub-features, including: Web, Images, City, News, Blogs, Video, Maps & Directions, and Shopping. Users can also chose. from different skins to customize the Ask.com experience. Se^rch.results are processed into a three column design that offers users the most complete search on one page. In the right column, Ask.com offers ways to "Narrow Your Search" and "Expand Your Search." The right column also contains "Related names" and the ability to go into an advanced search. The middle column contains the typical results that any search engine would contain, however, if a search contains a personality (celebrity, athlete, ect.), the results include a special feature including a short biography, and other helpful links. If a user is searching for a city, a map of the given city appears at the top of the middle column, along with links for Jobs, Current Weather, and Seasonal Climate. The right column is the most useful and robust feature of Ask. com. The column includes an images preview, Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, and a videos preview. If searching for a city, in addition to the aforementioned categories, users can see the city's current time and date, and the current weather, with a link to a detailed forecast. If the search result has current news around it, links to news stories are also included in the right column. A huge right column feature shows Obtaining your P hD?

Boon Rawd Brewery brews Singha in Bangkok, Thailand. Boonrawd Srethabutra founded the brewery in 1933 and produced Singha making it the first lager manufactured in Thailand. The brewery began exporting globally in the 1970s and now 9 M H B offers their products to ft J H more than 40 countries. The-dark brown glass fip m bottle contains 21.3 fluid ounces with an alcoHK hoi by volume of 6%. A • light version of the lager offers a timid 3.5% ABV. The bottle has Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride white label with primarily a glossy gold color filling in the lettering. The label depicts an ancient beast of some nature that appears to be a combination of both a dragon and a tiger. The bottle has an elegant white foil wrapping similar to champagne bottles Ground the neck and bottle cap. Lastly, a white bôttlé cap seals the lager containing the same ancient beast and brewery name in red lettering. The heavily carbonated lager pours with a one inch thick white head that disappears almost as quickly as it formed. The lager has a pleasant, almost sweet aroma and glistens in a light, golden amber hue. As the lager rests in the beer mug the carbonation rises endlessly to the top. The first phase of the sip allows a mild soothing lager to enter the mouth. A slight prickle of the tongue forms and then transcends into a Chuck Norris roundhouse f kick to the taste buds as a bolder flavor washes over all areas of the mouth. The lager descends into the H k abyss of the stomach and leaves a lingering bitter residue. Naturally, the lager pairs exquisitely with Thai ^ m cuisine. The mellow yet bold • lager highlights the eccentric ^ m spices and flavors of authenËÈË tic Thai food. Between the stresses of waiting in line for overpriced parking permits and textbooks, grab some Singha and relax. Welcome back Cougars!

The Governor's proposal, announced Jan. 10, came as a result of California's massive budget deficit and will inevitably cut $312 million from the CSU system, which equates to an $875 cut from each full-time student. In addition to the loss of funding, student fees are slated to increase Panama: Good things | come in small packages; ï!mÊÉIÈÊË travel story, •"••'•.- Chancellor Reed tackles budget crisis with commi ten percent for the upcoming school year. California Faculty Association President Lillian Taiz released a statement prior to the meeting decrying the proposal. "While the threat to the CSU is real, we must remember the Governor's January budget is just the opening' salvo. Filial decisions have not been made. We kU0w that higher education is part of the solution to a struggling economy," said Taiz;. On Jan. 22, Chancellor Charles B. Reed and the Ad Hoc Committee discussed hiring practices among the CSU system. The state auditor recommended the university create a centralized information structure to categorize university compensation by individual, payment type, and funding source. The Ad Hoc Committee suggested a comprehensive training program for coding of salary payments to employees. In response to last years' state audit reports and the specially appointed Ad Hoc Committee on the Bureau of State Àudit Reports, Chancellor Reed stated that he will report to State Auditor Elaine Howie every six months on the system's progress. Taiz spoke to the Trustees about the importance of arguing the budget plan and its effects on the future of the CSU. "CFA is already preparing for the fight ahead." Said Taiz.

Below: The Church of San Francisco de Asis. From a map, Panama looks like a thread of a country strained by the weight of two colossal landmasses, ready to snap at any given time. A few moments on the ground quickly abolishes these notions as this tiny Central American gem proves that big things truly can come in the smallest of packages . Although the eyes of the / world fixate on the Panama Canal, the rest of the country is often overlooked. Panama City, serving both as the Capital and engine of this exciting country, is quickly becoming a focal point for culture and travel in Latin America, Resting (if you could call it that) on the southern coast of Panama, Panama City is a bustling metropolis teeming with seemingly endless activity. In a city with an unrivaled work ethic and a Latin sensibility, everybody is on the move, and the best way to see the city is to just flow along the human currents. The American influence here is undeniable, where Dunkin Donuts and the big American television networks are no foreigners. Here and there, conversations in English can be overheard at restaurants and sports bars, but the locals are also patient, making it a great place to practice your Spanish. Political awareness is a huge part of life in Panama, and much like the current primaries taking place in the U.S., Panama is undergoing a similar process. The people in Panama also take an interest in American politics, which makes for great discussion. Unlike the U.S, everything in Panama is wonderfully inexpensive. Even better, save a trip to the currency exchange and just bring along your American dollars. For those unable to detach from the Internet, you will find Panama to b e a country well connected. While Panama carries a much milder culture shock than most Latin American countries, don't pack an American attitude i f you plan on absorbing what Panama has to offer. Qbserved from the fringes, Panama City's impressive and constantly expanding skyline erupts against the landscape in dramatic fashion. From within the city, a medley of old and tired structures rest comfortably under the marvel of these modern skyscrapers. Like the lush greenery surrounding the city, plant life is present throughout the entire city; to see a tree growing out of a house came as little surprise. Rush Hour is not just an American affliction, and like any booming metropolis, anticipate running into some traffic. The public transportation system can be quite confusing so your best bet is to stick to the taxis: They don't run a meter and the dollar can take you surprisingly far. Even with the powerful effect of modernization on the city, it has not lost sight of its heritage. Casco Viejo, or as many locals call it, San Felipe, is the main historic district of the city. An intriguing blend of French and Spanish architecture draped in greenery, the area harbors many of the cittes finest restaurants and cafes amidst its narrow streets and historical plazas. Like the rest of the city, Casco Viejo is „ best experienced aimlessly on foot. Reach the outskirts and you'll find shady walkways that offer some of the best views of the city to the east and of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Left: Panama's countryside as seen from la autopista Colon. Above: Plaza ae Francia looking towards the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. �Canal and the massive Bridge of the America's to the west. At the Plaza de Francia, a tall monument and a spacious plaza honor the French laborers that aided in the construction of the Panama C anal This area of the city is so highly regarded that it serves as the home of the Presidential Palace, although the armed guards near the palace can be cause for alarm at first glance. Stepping back further into the history of Panama City, Panama Viejo (Old Panama) is the original location of Panama City. Destroyed in the seventeenth century, Panama Viejo is the oldest Spanish settlement in the Pacific. With the majority of the city having burned to the ground, all that remains today are a few stone ruins, the most prominent and best preserved of which is the Cathedral tower. A stairwell Above: Bananas Village Resort on Isla Grande along inside allows visitors to ascend the Caribbean coast, below: A large shipping vessel four stories, providing a passes through the Miraflores Lock; the last stop for panoramic view of the site and ships going t o Panama much of modern Panama City. Don't pretend that you can go to Panama without paying a visit to the Panama Canal. You can't. Even as Panama's largest tourist trap, it is also one of the greatest engineering feats in the history of mankind. The fact that it is arguably the most important component in global commerce should also convince you to make the short trip out of the city. At Miraflores Lock, the last stop along the canal for ships heading into the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of spectators look on as massive shipping vessels are spared thousands of miles of travel along the treacherous Drake Passage. Such an efficient and convenient passage does come with a high cost, however. Large shipping vessels may pay as much as $200,000 to pass through the canal, making it one of the heftiest tolls on the planet. With growing competition and demand, plans are underway to expand the canal to allow for larger vessels and improved efficiency. With the ineessant bustle of the city, tourists and residents alike often turn to the outlying countryside for a peaceful escape, and it is here where the benefits of such a small country truly shine. Straying from the beaten path in Panama quickly becomes one of the most spectacular and rewarding travel experiences in the world. A stark contrast from urban Panama, the majority of the country contains lush, rolling hills and valleys. Traveling from t ie Pacific to the Caribbean coast takes you through an untamed Panama not seen in most photographs. Although small villages exist near the main roadways, they mark the edge of a wilderness of pure, virgin land. Just a few hours drive from Panama City, the Caribbean Ocean peeks out from the lush greenery. From coast to coast, ,iI mm I IIIS Left: Near the Presidential Palace at Casco Viejo. Right: Greenery covers many structures in Panama. a markedly different Panama emerges. The people here, friendly and helpful, seem to derive their entire ancestry from the land. The coastal Caribbean region in all of its beauty is also very poor, having not felt the effects of the economic boom in Panama City. Despite these ails, the Caribbean coast offers many picturesque destinations for visitors. Small islands like Isla Grande are accessible by boat and sit just off the coast, housing small resorts and relaxing getaways. Not deprived of the historical richness that characterizes Panama, the former outpost of Portobelo exhibits the ruins of a major Spanish fortification during. With canons still pointed towards the ocean, this fort bears the marks of defeat at the hands Buccaneers and later the British. For a country with such a strong Western influence, Panama provides visitors with a gentle introduction to Latin American culture while retaining the ability to give its guests a unique and memorable experience. Packed with a lifetime 's worth of amusement, I can't help but wonder what Panama would be if it had some more territory to play with. �Letters to the Editor Over winter break I, like everyone else at Cal State San Marcos, received a few emails warning that a mountain lion had been spotted near campus on several occasions and that traps had been set and the police alerted to deal with the supposed threat. Coincidentally I also received a small magazine f rom Cal State San Marcos in December (via snail mail) noting some of the upcoming events on campus, among them the erecting of a bronze statue of a tukwut (or mountain lion in the tongue of the local Luiseno Native American tribe). The timing of the emails in regard to the mountain lion sighting, and the news about the soon to be unveiled statue struck me as more than a little ironic. The emails f rom CSUSM make it seem as if the mountain lion spotted near campus is some sort of villain simply waiting and lurking to attack and maul someone - something flagrantly misleading. Mountain lion attacks are exceedingly rare. In fact a mountain lion has a better chance of being attacked and shot by a hostile human, than a person has of being attacked by one of these-big cats. In all likelihood the mountain lion, probably a victim of the recent wildfires, has been forced to unwilling locate nearer to the campus. The language that CSUSM took in immediately addressing the sighting of the mountain lion follows the recent trend in San Diego County of striking preemptively against the local wildlife. In fact several months ago officials in one San Diego suburb had four coyotes hunted and shot for apparently catching a few pets in the nearby neighborhood. As a twenty-five year resident of Southern California, I have had mountain lions in my backyard before, yet also understand that such occurrences are simply part of life w hen you choose to erect your house on another creatures home. The emails received f rom CSUSM make it clear though that the college has chosen to reinforce misleading stereotypes about mountain lions. Such incidents it seems simply remind me that intolerance, fear, and violence are still key faucets of human society, even at a supposed institution of higher learning. So it is more than a little ironic that Cal State San Marcos will welcome a bronze statue of a mountain lion to campus, yet if a real one does rear its head it will probably b e shot. The message resonates loud and clear, and so does the hypocrisy. Matthew Schramm Dear Pride, On the front page of the January 22, 2008, edition, in "By the Numbers," you left out a very important figure which represents the faculty who are doing most of the teaching on our qampus (as in the CSU as a whole): the lecturers, who are off the tenure track. Also known as temporary faculty or "adjuncts," in fall 07, the campus hired 71 new lecturers, raising the total to around 335. With only 6 f ull-time lecturers, our students are taught increasingly by contingent part-time faculty, a great number of which teach at two or more institutions in order to make a living. The 187 tenure-line faculty mentioned on your f ront page are responsible for advising the 9,159 students, since lecturers are rarely hired to carry out this aspect of faculty work.

But break is over and it is time to get back to business. What better way to kick off the new semester than talking about why the New England Patriots will go 19-0? Here are my eight reasons for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this Sunday: 8. The Patriots have cheated the system and were called out by the New York Jets and the NFL. Their response was a 38-14 beat down on the Chargers in week two. 7. They trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter to the Indianapolis Colts in what was being called the biggest regular season game ever. It was Tom Brady who took over the game throwing two touchdown passes in four minutes to win the game 24-20. 6. In the final game of the regular season, the Patriots' went into Giants Stadium and saw Eli Manning gain the confidence he was lacking when he threw four touchdown passes in the game. The Patriots defense will be throwing different coverage's and blitzes at Eli trying to force turnovers. 5. The mind games. Bill Belichick is a genius when it comes to finding a way to win. Then, with Tom Brady appearing in a walking boot last week in New York. Then, later that same afternoon he is seen without the boot. Sprain or no sprain, Brady will be playing for his third Super Bowl MVP. 4. Experience! Eli has no championship experience: His college play at Ole Miss led to no major bowl games and his professional career is no better. He is in his first Super Bowl and for the first time in a long time he is looking like a steady quarterback. Brady had to battle for a starting spot at Michigan and then had to battle for a backup spot in New England. 3. First to 37 will win. Considering the Patriots scored more than 37 points in eight games, while the Giants reached that plateau only once this season. It would be safe to say that Brady has more options to throw to than Eli. 2. The record speaks for itself. The Patriots are 18-0 and going for perfection. Brady threw for a record 50 touchdowns. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Rain Maybe you noticed that it's raining. This is a strange phenomena for those of us San Diego natives, so we're going to take a look at it in depth here today at the Science Corner of BST. "Rain" is actually f rom the Greek word rainus, meaning " to be pissed on by the sky". Some historians believe that it descends from the Latin term ranius et blanketus which literally translates to, "Screw this noise. I'm staying home under the blankets." Rain has no natural predators, which has allowed it to breed without disruption to the point that we are now seeing it in environs which have not normally been part of its natural habitats, such as San Diego. I could talk now about all the positives of rain, but any "positives" are really just a product of clever marketing. It makes plants grow and it's important, While Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 touchdown receptions with the same record breaking pass. 1. The number one reason why I believe the Patriots will go undefeated: despite loving their commercials, I am not a big fan of the Mannings. But when it all said and done, there will be a new Super Bowl Champion and a new champion of football. The Patriots are going to win, but once again won't cover the spread. The final score of t he game is going to be the Patriots 38, Giants 31 with Tom Brady walking away with his third Super Bowl M VP Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. By Torio, Savey / Pride Staff Writer and blah blah blah. Now, let's talk about the dark side. Rain will make you melt. You thought they werefluffingabout in . The Wizard of Oz. They're not joking. An estimated 15% of people will actually melt if hit by more than three teaspoons of rain. Rain also survives mainly on a diet of kittens and killer hairstyles. If your hair looks good, there's probably some rain on the way to eat it. Also, rain shot JFK. In fact, in Seattle, convicted criminals aren't sent to prison. They're simply left out to be tortured and eventually devoured by the rain. So before you start thinking that your spring wildflowers are about to bloom and rain is really the tear drops of angels or some crap, look at the cold, hard, scientific facts. Rain is a wet, yucky apocalypse from the sky. Watch your back.

There were certainly some absolutely wonderful films that came out last year, but 2007 is marred by a lackluster summer and several overrated movies. Several well known American directors put out their best works, yet it is the works of those outside this country that stole the show. Before descending into a brutal attack, on the past year, I do have sqme very good films to commend. The year got off to a great start with David Fincher's "Zodiac", which is a contender with "Fight Club" as his best work. The tension and acting make this one a must buy. Also worth buying is "The Bourne Ultimatum", which brought a nice end to the trilogy, and "Ratatouille", which was another masterpiece by Disney/ Pixar. Some of the delightful films worth watching came out late 2007. These include "Juno", "Across The Universe", "3; 10 To Yuma", and "American Gangster". For those who enjoy serious cinema, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is an absolute treat. Finally worth a mention is one of the few films to survive the dismal summer, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Upon reflecting on the movies of the year 2007, the first thing I think of is this dismal array of summer movies. The • M v l W M pursuit of profits led to an incredible amount of sequels, which included "Spiderman 3", "Fantastic 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer", "Shrek 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", which were all unnecessary movies meant to sucker the consumer. Earlier in the year, as well, film goers were 'graced' with such works as "Norbit", "The Invisible", "Ghostrider", "TMNT", and "Next". The year rounded out with more lackluster pieces such as "Balls of Fury", "Beowulf', "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "War", "Awake", and "Good Luck Chuck". The latter two films and the sequel to "Fantastic 4 " have proven that Jessica Alba's talents are limited to winking, and thus won her 'Worst Female Actor of the Year'. As for her male counter part it would be Nicholas Cage for "Next", "National Treasure: Book of Secrets", and "Ghostrider". Next to consider, there are a few more bad movies to name, however these are a special few. These are the movies that became really popular, but were truly not that good. One of these films is "Transformers". It is not a popular thing to say, but this movie is riddled w l A l P wkwk Film Jb HI JMbA ll with problems. Michael Bay should go back to music videos as this movie was shameful. The only reason it was popular is because of Optimus Prime, and his crew. Everything was low quality from the acting to the story and especially the dialogue. The CGI was not even that good. A similar movie would be "Dragon Wars", which was the same premise as "Transformers", only it was not popular because it did not have a popular toy line and TV show behind it. Quickly I would like to include "The directors, this year would have belonged entirely elsewhere in the world of <?inema. Previously mentioned was "Zodiac" which would have been the best US film of the year if it were not for the Coen Brothers. "No Country For Old Men", which is a brilliant film that everyone should see. It is easily the Coens' best, which is saying a lot. The acting, storyline, and tension are incredible. It is without a doubt going to be in the top ten of the 2000's with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Lord of the Rings", and "The Departed". But the world of cinema is not limited to what is put out by the US. Also from 2007 came the brilliant German film "The Lives of Others" and the Danish film by Susanne Bier, "After the imagescourtesyotimaD.com Wedding". Just Simpsons Movie", which was like three because one has to read subtitles does bad episodes of "The Simpsons" in a row. not mean these are not awesome films. The final pair I will call out are "Knocked Finally, I commend thefilmmakersof Up" and "Superbad". The makers of the United Kingdom for their work this year. Danny Boyle is on top form with these movies are desperate for attention "Sunshine", and dramas such as "Control" using every crude trick possible. Both and "This Is England" should not be of these use vulgarity in place of actual missed. "Atonement" is also well worth substance and are not that funny the watching. And my final film to honor second time through, not that they were this year was my favorite, "Hot Fuzz", funny in the first place. The continuing a brilliant tale of police and murder in a string of unrealistic movies poking fun at quiet English town. I hope you will take stereotypical losers does not impress me. the time to watch and re-watch the films With that off my chest, it is time to I suggested. Hopefully 2008 will bring consider the cream of the crop.

The brewery opened in April of 1989. Brendan Moylan acts as the general partner for the brewery. The brewery only uses natural ingredients in their products. Furthermore, the brewery focuses on making unique and diverse tasting beers than those of the more common domestic breweries. Raspberry Trail Ale won two awards. The ale won gold in the California State Fair in 2005 and gold in the Best of the West in 2002. The dark brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ounces with an alcohol by volume of 5%. Six ingredients comprise the award winning ate. The six ingredients are barley, malt, yeast, water, and natural raspberry flavoring. The bottle has a large label containing the company's logo of a swan on a lake. An array of purple and magenta hues comprises the label. A black bottle cap stamped with the yellow words California Brewed seals the ale. The ale pours soft with a half-inch thick head that disappears relatively quickly. The amber colored ale has an almost foggy tinting. The ale enters the mouth with a rapid surge of flavor that lingers on the tongue for several seconds. After the ale has disappeared a sugary film develops in the mouth causing the lips to smack in demand for more. The brewery recommends serving the ale in a glass as to release some of the flavoring. Raspberries alone are great tasting, but they are even better when used to flavor ale. Take a stroll to BevMo this week and check out this week's ale for a delicious fruit inspired delicacy. Photo by Jonathan Thompson Interview with: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride S taff Writer Street performers at heart and gentlemen by nature, Jay, Lou, and Mickey Smart (a.k.a. The Smart Brothers) are unraveling the heartstrings of local music critics and enthusiasts alike with their old Hollywood jazz and Americana folk style. With dozens of instruments, such as ukuleles, soprano guitars, a jaw harp, slide whistle, castanets and an accordion—just to name a few—The Smart Brothers are well versed in love and harmony. Painting a picture under the stars with nothing but their beautiful melodies and flawless instrumental synchronization, the sound of The Smart Brothers is lush, rich, and soulful. How did The Smart Brothers come t o collect so many instruments? Jay Smart, the proud player of the suitcase, which doubles as a bass drum, said, "the funny thing is that they each have very strange stories behind them. For instance, we were in a pawnshop one time in the South and there was this octave mandolin there. Well, Lou walked in and said, 'I have to have that octave mandolin.' Of course we couldn't afford it, but we went back home, dug up these old sheepskin drums and other weird things, traded it all in, and got the octave mandolin." At a young age, Jay and Lou Smart garnered an appreciation for music not only as a result of their fascination for instruments, but also through the Photo courtesy of The Smart Brothers headphones of their walkmans blasting the inspirational tunes of Handel's a matter of time before the three own music,"' said Lou, and that's what "Messiah," The Beach Boys, and The they did. stumbled upon a happy accident at Beatles.

"To recreate what we do on stage is hard because it's very visual, so we're even thinking when it does come out in spring, it may be a DVD, we may really push the envelope as far as the presentation goes," said Jay. "We actually have this rule that we go by, that we don't keep any good songs, we only keep thé great songs," said Mickey, when describing their ever-evolving songwriting process. Constructing songs that embody powerful emotions and amorous imagery, it seems only natural that the inspiration for their songs comes from women. Just back in town from a cross-country winter tour, The Smart Brothers, along with their banjos, kazoos and xylophones, (along with the other dozens of instruments) strive t o please their audience and spend their lives doing what they love the most: making music. "Our whole thing is we just want to make people happy. When they come to our show, people feel like they are falling in love, and that's a good thing t o feel," said Lou. "It's a great feeling," said Jay, " when you're actually falling in love-in a relationship, that part doesn't last long, so we're trying t o drag it out a little bit." Geared with an orange VW van backed to the brim with musical gadgets, and dressed t o the nines in slacks, bowties and Gatsby-like attire, one can easily find The Smart Brothers playing a show almost any night of the week. Regulars at several venues around town and performing on the streets upwards of four or five times a week, The Smart Brothers are thinking smart in terms of getting their name and their music out and into the hearts of San Diegans.

X IX N O. 1 Primary election season intensifies with voting BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Big plans for Black Student Union BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A fter spending last semester resurrecting the Black Student Union, a forward looking attitude and a revamped sense of involvement could bring success to this growing group of African American students at Cal State San Marcos this spring. Under the motto, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude," the BSU is stepping out of the shadows intent on becoming an integral part of the CSUSM campus community. Having overcome the financial obstacles that stifled previous manifestations of the BSU, the new and improved BSU unveiled a calendar loaded with events and activities for the coming month at their Jan. 31 weekly meeting. Involvement is something that will be central to the BSU's ambitions this semester as they do more than simply step out into the campus community. Bringing in representatives from ASI and the Women's Center to their meeting, the BSU is making an effort to work with other campus organizations tq bring the entire campus together. "I think it's more important for us to not just stay BSU in and of itself, but let everyone see us," said BSU President Sherray-Blythe to the group. "If you didn't want to get involved, you wouldn't be here" In their biggest event of the month, the BSU will put on a dance called "Sensual Seduction" on Feb. 23 at the Clarke from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The BSU encourages students interested in participating to attend their Thursday during U-Hour in University Hall 101.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for creating policies on student fees, admissions, financial aid, technology, and student services that a ffect more than 450,000 students, easily making it the highest policy planning committee in the CSU system. The position of student t rustee is the highest and most prestigious position a CSU student can hold. The p rimary responsibility of a student trustee consists of presenting the issues, positions, and perspectives of CSU stu- dents. A student t rustee holds the same powers and responsibilities of the other t rustees and is paid $100 a day for conducting the business of the Board as well as attending the seven regularly scheduled meetings per year. Applications must be mailed to the Office of University A ffairs, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90812 by 5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 22. Inter- ested students can get more information and instructions on how to apply on the CSSA website at www.csustudents.org. Interviews for candidates are scheduled for Friday, May 12 at CSU Fullerton. Following the process, the CSSA will forward the names of two to five finalists to Governor Schwarzenegger who will then make an ultimate decision. University Village staff w ins spirit award Resident Advisors present stress busters at annual conference BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 26, the CSUSM Resident Advisors and Resident Hall Council members traveled to CSU San Bernardino for the Southern Resident Assistant Program Conference. The annual gathering recognizes the. achievements of student leaders in local college and university residence halls. Weeks in advance, students submit .program ideas to share at the conference. This year, eight programs from CSUSM were chosen. Students were able to spend the day relaxing and sharing ideas with other college leaders before the distribution of awards later on in the evening. Of the ten programs recognized for 'Top Ten of the Year,' two were from San Marcos RAs. CSUSM student, Corbin Northington, received an award for his presentation on necessary first aid knowledge in resident halls. Also garnering recognition was first year RA, Alexander Hoang. His program titled "Meditation Invigoration," challenged students to take risks in order to grow outside their comfort zones. The program's purpose is combating stress among college students, inspired by the chilling statistic that stress is a top factor of death in the United States. Hoang hopes that students can "be comfortable with oneself and make good choices away from materialism." Upon learning about his award, Hoang said, "It felt great. I'm glad to present something other student leaders could take something away from." After the program awards, the event's most prestigious award, the Spirit Award, was announced. The Spirit Award, based on spirit at the conference, participation in program presentations, and a video clip made prior to the day, was presented to CSUSM. The CSUSM RAs created a 'Cougar Lightning' video with the help of spirit leader, Brian Buttacavoli. Along with a three-dimension plaque, the awarded school keeps a 'Spirit Stick' for the year and returns it at the following year's conference. "It was awesome to take the highest award." Hoang said. CSUSM may be a small school but the strength of the University Village team and staff rose to the occasion. �NEWS Tuesday; February 05, 2008 Mini dreates exploratory committee to assessn hold orm debate put o situation City Council c XheC^pride I §§gi |§g£ * immimisim^ - ^ EDITOR W CHIIR * !

The precarious situation between homeowners (who argue the rowdy tenants disrupt neighborhoods) and students (who believe affordable housing goes a long way) leaves the two communities embattled over the issue. The current answer provided by City Council right now lies in the creation of a "Student and Neighborhood Relations Commission." The eight members will oversee potential solutions for neighborhoods disrupted by loud, unruly college students and any other disruptive conduct. Two members of City Council will join the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and a USMC Camp Pendleton representative from Oceanside. The remaining four include students from Cal State San Marcos and from Palomar Coljege. In Jan. 2007, the City of San Diego passed an ordinance for the owners of single-family homes to pay additional permit fees up to $1000 a year for households that have six or more adult occupants. The surrounding college area at San Diego State University is the most affected by the ordinance. Whether this will affect the San Marcos area remains unknown. Over the past several months, complaints among homeowners of the area have risen, mainly citing things such as loud partying, littering, and limited street parking.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer New York is home to many giants: the victorious NY Giants, giant skyscrapers, a giant statue, giant bridges, giant pretzels, giant hot dogs, and giant musical productions. That said, any venture to New York City is bound to be one monumental occasion, and so too was mine last year. Arriving in the city at 3 a.m. one Saturday morning, it only took seconds for the infamous saying that NYC is "the city that never sleeps" to ring true. Crammed into the backseat of a taxi (my first NY taxi ride of many), adrenaline pulsed through me as our cab driver proceeded to get out of the car come close to blows with another driver over who's turn it was to merge into the right-hand lane. I never heard so many violent profanities in different languages at one time before. Once on Manhattan Island, we made our way to Times Square. A hub of fluorescent lights and mayhem, in the center of all the action we arrived at our hotel, which stood adjacent to the glowing Coca-Cola marquee and next to the Legally Blonde Broadway, show. A world all its own; the lights, action and smells mystified and excited me. Throughout the duration of our Manhattan adventure, I experi- The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. enced many firsts. My first NY hot dog, my first time hailing a cab on my own, my first time getting lost in a such an overwhelming city, and the first time I had the opportunity to see so many historical and famous places. The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. Our first night in the city my group of companions and I made a list of all the things we wanted to do and see. Then, we attempted to organize the locations g eographically and maximize every minute of every day. Forget sleeping—we were in New York, and who knew when we were going to be back there H H H H m H ^^ again—we were going to t ry to do it all. Day one began with a privately guided limousine tour of the city to get our bearings of how to navigate the island. I must say if you have the money, seeing New York through the sunroof and windows of a private limo, complete with bubbly and beverages galore, is hands down the way to go. The city was under water on day two. It poured all night, and continued to pour all day, and this was the day we planned to visit the Statue of Liberty. I must admit it was not our best idea. Walking miles in the rain to the harbor and waiting in line at the Statue for two hours constituted the most miserably wet and uncomfort- mmmsmSm able day of my life. However, it was bittersweet, as it will forever be one of the most memorable days of my life. Seeing Lady Liberty in all her glory and breathing in the musty history that filled the hallways and stairs, awakened a new sense of adventure and patriotism. The rest of our trip continued in this fashion, with a lot of bitter, and almost as much sweet. Sludging around the city in the sticky heat and moody weather at times created problems, such as ending up on the subway line that went to the Bronx all by myself, and running out of clean, dry clothes. Thankfully, there were plenty of "I heart N Y" shirts to build a wardrobe for the remaining few days. In all its glory and infamy, NYC should be at the top of your places to see, as it has more to offer than any other city in the country. f rtp fc ¡SÜ" , ...

Furthermore, the more states a candidate wins, the better chance he or she has at being the front-runner. To put it simpler: Super Tuesday is kind of like a mini-election, or a preliminary round in American Idol. The official presidential elections are not until November; but t hat's November, and this is now, giving us ten months to go; unofficially marking Super Tuesday the beginning of the race! The w inners of the m ajority of the 24 states will be recognized as the f rontrunners, and begin t o c ampaign nationally. Before, campaigning was only for states that held earlier p rimaries, such as Iowa or New Hampshire, in order for candidates t o save money and secure victories, propelling them t hrough the race. However, a fter Super Tuesday the f ront-runners take the lead, the battle lines will remain drawn until November. A year ago t here were countless candidates campaigning all across the country. As of Super Tuesday, there will only be Last but not least is Ron Paul; the six left: two from the Democratic Party, and four f rom the Republican side. And Republican Congressman f rom Texas who feels our country is straying away the candidates are: We have Barack Obama, a Democratic s enator from Illinois, , who: has b eenp^ "senator his professional career a little over 3 years. Obama's platform rests oil his promise/vocalization of change, which has inspired millions and his following only seems to be growing (in January Ä.J alone his campaign acquired $32 million through contributions). He was recently voted #1 Liberal Senator by the National Journal, and has support f rom big names like the Kennedy's and Oprah. The other Democrat r unning is former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the current New York Senator. Alongside Obama, they make this presidential race a historical feat, being that neither a woman nor an A frican American have ever made it so far along in the primaries. Clinton also stated she would bring change, and emphasized her 30 years of experience as a strong point in her campaign. For the Republicans, there is John McCain, a Senator f rom Arizona. Senator McCain served as a captain in the Vietnam War, received several awards and medals, and was a Prisoner of War for almost 6 years in Vietnam. Next we've got Mitt Romney, a republican and former governor of Massachusetts, who has lengthy expérience with budgetary finances because of h is successful career as a CEO and president of the 2002 Winter Olympics. f rom its founding principles. Paul is increasingly popular among younger voters, college campuses, and Google.

The Recyclemania 2008 contest begins February 8th. The annual recycling contest happens for 10 weeks, and is open to competing colleges nationwide. In 2006 and 2007, CSUSM won the Grand Champion Award, and in 2005, when the contest only contained two categories, CSUSM almost won the Per Capita category and placed first in the Recycling Rate category. Currently, the 2008 con- test includes more than 400 colleges, whereas last year's contest only included a little more than 200 schools. San Diego State University and University of California San Diego have entered the competition again. This year there are four main categories in the contest: Largest Amount of Recyclables Per Capita, Largest Amount of Total Recyclables, Least Amount of .Trash Per Capita, and Highest Recycling Rate. Participating colleges can also compete in the Targeted Materials category. In the Targeted Materials category, schools may choose one item from the following to focus on: bottles and cans, corrugated cardboard, food service organics, and paper, and then the competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their efforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. The Green Team and Blue Crew are major components in the competition. The Green Team constantly focuses on reducing, recycling, and reusing at CSUSM while the Blue Crew handles the actual collection and sorting of CSUSM's trash. Based on their combined efforts, CSUSM continues to be a fierce competitor in the contest. When asked if CSUSM will win the competition, Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan responded with, "Win? Heck yeah! Our school is the stuff!" For more information, please visit: http://www.recyclemania. com/ and http://www.myspace. com/recyclemania. Mardi Gras: Let the good times roll BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer I would be willing to bet that nearly everyone in the continental United States and Western Europe has at least heard of Mardi Gras. That's right, the greatest free party on earth; narrow, cozy streets in the French Quarter, beads flying from balconies bursting with eager celebrators, free alcohol, countless floats, outrageous costumes, and raucous behavior in every nook and cranny of New Orleans, Louisiana. Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, or most commonly known as, Fat Tuesday, is in fact today. As the last day before the Catholic observance of Lent, Mardi Gras calls for merriment and festivity to run thick throughout New Orleans, not to mention innumerable other locations around the world. Arriving as early a » February 3 or as late as March 9, Mardi Gras serves as a last-ditch effort to treat yourself prior to the dry month preceding Easter. Simply known as Carnival or Carnivale internationally (namely, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the celebration's intentions are universal while still incorporating the great music and over-indulgence synonymous with the revelry here in the States; Most partygoers have no idea that Mardi Gras actually ends today, Fat Tuesday, with January 6 as the real beginning of the festivities. On Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, Orthodox Catholics believe that Jesus Christ "shone forth" as God in human form. Western Christians also celebrate this day as the visitation of the Magi and commemorate the event with a feast. What's more, the tradition began in the United States even before the territory fell under American rule. Nearly one hundred years before the Louisiana Purchase, King Louis XIV reigned over a large part of our now united country. As a means of defending his newly acquired land, the French monarch sent for Iberville and Bienville LeMoyne to go sailing up the Mississippi River in hopes of establishing a new settlement. The brothers called the area they came upon Point du Mardi Gras. Throughout the years, proud French descendants inhabiting the Bayou, known as Creoles, passed on their traditions to make honorary Creoles out of all taking part in the bash. As interesting as all the history is, the mere mention of Mardi Gras causes most Americans to conjure up thoughts of flowing beer and women shamelessly bearing their chests in exchange for plastic beads. Obviously, there is no objection to this on Bourbon Street, but has anyone ever stopped to ask: Why beads? It all started in the 1920s with the Rex Company's float tossing inexpensive glass necklaces into the parade's crowd. Thus, a tradition was born. Nowadays, it is quite common for float Krewes (groups who produce and ride on parade floats) to shell out thousands of dollars on the enticing purple, green, and gold necklaces. All in all, Mardi Gras is not solely a French celebration; it is rather a means of uniting different people and cultures all looking for the same thing: a good party.

AS IT T Rivers h arthroscopic knee surgery BY L Pride Staff Writer The a ftermath of t he Super Bowl h as arrived and t he N FL s eason is over in d isappointing f ashion f or San Diego Charger f ans. With a severely h urt 'Big 3 ' in Philip Rivers', t orn ACL, L aDainian Tomlinson's, h yper extended k nee, and Antonio Gates', dislocated big toe, t he Chargers lost 21-12 on Jan. 20 t o t he N ew England Patriots. Sorry to r emind you Charger fans. The question I r aise is 4Was Philip Rivers decision t o play w ith a t orn ACL in his right k nee, t he right decision?' The evidence on why it w as t he w rong decision: R ivers h urt h is k nee t he week before against t he I ndianapolis Colts game; back u p QB Billy Volek showed that he was more t han capable, leading the g ame-winning drive against t he p revious Super Bowl champions. Volek would have b een a game m anager and would not have b een put into situations where he would t hrow interceptions as R ivers did. j ust so he could play in the AFC championship game, meaning he was unable to practice for t he most important game of his life against one of the greatest t eams of all time. On a personal level, Rivers is a young QB with a long career ahead of him that is f acing surgery that will require at least 6 months for recovery. One hit could easily have ended h is career and lost him millions of dollars with the chance of r eturning t o the p layoffs/ There is no doubt Rivers decision to play was gutsy and should be praised for h is dedication to his team and his desire t o w in. But we have no crystal ball, no way t o tell the f uture. His play was that of a man with a hurt k nee t hrowing t hree interceptions, the same as godlike Tom Brady. Would back-up Billy Volek played better t han a hurt Rivers? With a healthy Tomlinson would the Chargers have won? Would all of it matter? We j ust don't know, it's all speculation to say it was the right or wrong decision. Men's soccer tryouts BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM men's soccer is holding is annual open tryout on Saturday, February 16th f rom 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. Students interested in t rying out can visit www.csusm.edu/athletics before February 11th to fill out the appropriate documents. "We are hoping t o identify any students currently on campus who may have the ability to contribute to the men's team and solidify a roster spot," said assistant coach Bobby Renneisen. T he team is going into its third year of existence, and has an 18-13-1 record over the first two years of play. Steve Triolo, the starting pitcher for the Cougars, went 5 1/3 strong innings giving up the only hit while striking out five and giving up four walks. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 4th, when CF Tristan Gale lead off the inning with a solo homerun tp center field, turned out to be the game-winning home r un. Eric Julienne and Jared Suwyn combined to go 1 2/3 innings of no hit baseball to shut-out Vanguard in a seven inning contest this is the Cougars second win of the season, and first win at home. SOFTBALL 1-1 IN DOUBLEHEADER BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball kicked off its second season in existence Saturday, splitting a doubleheader with Biola University. Biola struck early on in game one, doing all of their damage in the team's 6 -4 victory in the first two innings. CSUSM scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on four singles, and one r un in the bottom of the sev- enth on a triple hit by sophomore, Erica Coelho. CSUSM won game two of the doubleheader by a score of 2-1, thanks to a complete game, six strikeout outing by junior, Melissa Lerno. The split opens the season with a 1-1 record. The Cougars face Bethany University on Saturday and the University Redlands on Sunday. Both games will be played at Mission Hills High School.

A more grown up Fiasco now sings of much deeper things: Songs like "Little Weapon" deal with youth rebel soldiers in Africa and the things they go through at such a young age. Many of the songs are politically driven and deal with many of the issues going on today such as A.I.D.S, rape, school shootings, and drug use. He even changes up his rapping style in songs like "The Die'' in which he has a Twistalike, rapid delivery sound. Then there are the dark songs like "Put You On Game", in which Lupe raps as if he is evil. With each song differing in style, it makes the entire CD enjoyable. This is one of the rare CDs that I can listen to from beginning to end without changing a song. What hip-hop has needed is a message behind the music, and Lupe does this perfectly. Each song makes you think and want to listen to his every word, not to mention the amazing beats and Kanye West style synths. I recommend that everyone go out and buy this CD right now. It's a must have. A&E THE PRIDE Academy Awards nominations overshadowed by strike tion of Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, also received seven nods.

Reed focused on California's recent budget cuts approved by the Board of Trustees in response to the $14.5 billion state budget deficit. In order to prevent the projected ten percent student fee increase, the CSU budget must accrue $73.2 million in addition to the already proposed $312.9 million cut. "This funding reduction comes only three years after our budget was reduced by over $500 million during the 2002-03 and 2004-05 fiscal years, which led to significantly reduced student access, as well as a. dramatic increase in student fees," Reed continued.

Because its in its first year, many people responsible for arranging the event were uncertain as to whether or not it would be successful. The event proved to be a memorable one for all students in attendance. "Greek Fair is a time for everyone to come together and have fun while learning about all of the different fraternities, sororities, and Greek organizations that we have to offer on our campus," stated Alex Hand, a sophomore and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Throughout the fair, students received free food, participated in games, and live entertainment. Food ranged from free popcorn, Pat and Oscars salads to Little Caesars pizza. The fair festivities began when people started playing the games, which included: football and soccer ball contests, and a strength pole to see who could Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride With a variety of exciting activities, the Greek fair drew the attention of CSUSM students during U-hour hit it the hardest with a large hammer. Local radio station, 91X, was in attendance to play music for surrounding listeners. Besides all of the fun, the fair was a great time for interested students learn about Greek life at CSUSM. Each fraternity and sorority passed out fliers and other information in order to notify and recruit passing students about their organizations. "This isn't a time for each sorority or fraternity to be competing against one another to see who can recruit more students; it is a time for people on campus to learn more about the Greek life that we have at our school and see if they might be interested in joining it." Said Alpha Chi Omega member Lauren Cerruti. The Greek fair was also an appropriate lead into Rush Week (beginning Feb. 18). While each Greek organization puts on different events throughout the week, Rush Week is a time for students to choose which fraternity or sorority they would like to join. Due to the success of the Greek fair, the event will likely become a tradition on campus for years to come. Primaries bring political activity, discussion to CSUSM BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was an exciting week for politics at Cal State San Marcos as the biggest day in the presidential primary season, Super Tuesday, came and went, stimulating a flurry of activity on campus. As polling places like the one on campus were shutting down across the state, CSUSM students flocked the Grand Salon at the Clarke Field House Tuesday, Feb. 5, for a Super Tuesday viewing party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hosted by the American Democracy Project and the University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the event featured live CNN coverage of Super Tuesday results and free food for those in attendance. An open-microphone made its way around the room giving students the opportunity to share their opinions about the candidates, important political issues, as well as any other opinions about the overall state of the nation. "I want to be proud of my country again," said a student in the audience. Commentary was not limited to those who dared to offer their opinions on the microphone. Large pieces of paper representing a variety of political issues adorned the walls of the Grand Salon and bore the written opinions of those in attendance. Brief dialogues would emerge on these message boards as people responded to comments made by others. On the topic of immigration, one student anonymously wrote, "America was founded on immigration. While it is a problem that people are coming over illegally, should it really be our main focus?" An arrow pointed to a comment from another individual Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride Students express political views and opinions at Super Tuesday viewing party ___ read, "Yes. These immigrants come to our country and (often times) are only here to better their lives. What good is it letting our population grow if it isn't going to benefit everyone. We must slow this expansion down before it's too late." Even after Super Tuesday passed, the activities at CSUSM continued throughout the week. On Feb. 7, during University Hour, The Political Science Club hosted Dr. Shana Bass in part of its "Pizza and Politics" series. Dr. Bass, a professor from the Dept. of Political Science, offered in-depth analysis of the Super Tuesday results for both sides of the aisle.

Tickets for the Mar. 15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were sold out by 10 a.m. the following day. The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks to commemorate the beginning of ticket distributions. Spring Fling will take place on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The three-storied boat features a live DJ, bars serving refreshments and appetizers; and a casino with blackjack, roulette and Texas Hold'em. Guests can use fake money while gambling with a chance to win a trip for two to Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's restaurant. Although tickets to the event have sold out, tickets for the party bus are still available. Party bus tickets are $20 a person and are available to both students and guests. The bus will go roundtrip from CSUSM to the San Diego harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets are available in the ASI Business Office, FCB 103. "The boat has a capacity of 500 so there is absolutely no way to release more. The question that I keep getting is how do I get a ticket? I know a lot of people bought extra tickets, you were allowed to buy up to three, so my advice is ask around. There is also a Facebook event people can join to ask others for tickets," said ASI Programming Board Social Events Specialist, Molly Durham. �Tuesday; February 12, 2008 From BUDGET, page 1 T HE^PRIDE byRthe legislature." vitality of CSU eed stressed the i lillil system and its direct impact on the economy.

With Mitt Romney's suspension of his campaign, the Republican race narrowed, leaving John McCain as the clear front-runner. As Dr. Bass noted, come-from-behind victories by Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul are highly unlikely. While the Republican primaries yielded a clear victor in McCain, the results on the Democratic side were much different. "What happened to the Democrats in California is really interesting and what happened to Democrats across the country is also really interesting," said Dr. Bass. After the dust had settled, Super Tuesday gave no strong advantage to either Barack Obama -or Hillary Clinton. Making sure to include the audience in the discussion, Dr. Bass asked for opinions on how the candidates reacted to the outcome of Super Tuesday. "They both postured," said student Tawn Kent. "One said they clearly had the largest number of votes and the other said they had greater support in a larger number of states." While Clinton seized the most delegates, winning the biggest prize of the night in California, she won in fewer states than Obama, a clear indication that the primary nomination would most likely be fought for all the way to the national convention. Delegate counts differed among publications, mainly due to differences in regards to socalled "super delegates." Obama narrowed Clinton's lead over the weekend with convincing wins in the Lousiana primaries and the caucuses in Washington, Nebraska, and Maine. The Clinton campaign predicts victories in the late Ohio and Texas contests should negate Obama's February comeback. Dinner Etiquette for all Cougars 4 M ock Dinner promises "no risk" learning experience BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 28, an etiquette dinner aimed to teach the formalisms of business dinners and proper restaurant etiquette will be held for students at the I WNSÎGMOÎ'EÁITÓALS XTPMMT Lake San Marcos Country Club. the The The event, sponsored by Associated Students Incorporated (ASI), _ ; J * * ' & e- ' e#térj ' welcomes all Cougars regardless H should incltide a ddress,!i of year or major. teJephoite namber, p riait "A communication major could «IÌ4 iAenááMWAi^ L etters benefit because they will have to n jayfeeeaitedfor g rammar a nd leögtb, ' Lettbt. should ¡ ï p ^ represent the opinions communicate with everybody and know how to act properly (at formal business dinners)," said Freshman, Brian Burrows. The dinner provided consists of a four-course meal equivalent to $35. "I think any major would benefit from the event. There are a million ways to drive a car but there is a right way. Proper etiquette shows that people of all backgrounds took the time to learn how to be formal. For example, if you go to another country with baggy pants and a t-shirt you might accidentally disrespect someone. The way you eat at home may not be the proper way to carry yourself at a formal dinner. You could make people feel uncomfortable in that setting. There are formalities that you need to know, regardless of your major," said Junior and Nursing Major, Angel Castañeda. Due to the popularity of the event, interested Cougars are encouraged to reserve their place immediately by visiting the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400. Res- ervations are $10. (Cancellations are non-refundable after Feb. 15.) "All majors, including Literature and Writing Studies majors, should know how to act in a formal setting. It is a really good deal and a great opportunity to only pay $10 while getting a country club four-course dinner," said Junior and Literature and Writing Studies Major, Brian Mann.

Here's a look at who should've been hired for the head coaching positions and the new coaches being hired as upcoming head coaches for the teams that continuity applied to in the Redskins, Colts, and Seahawks. Washington Redskins- Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams hired in 2004, who appeared to be the front runner to take over as head coach after Joe Gibbs retired in Dec. Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003, and compiled a record of 17-30 before being fired. You would expect owner Daniel Snyder to try and make a splash and hire a big name coach like he recently did with Gibbs, but Gibbs told Snyder after he retired that continuity is extremely important and will not set back the organization in a major way. Clearly that's not what happened, when the Redskins unexpectedly fired Williams, who is now the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indianapolis Colts- Tony Dungy is a spiritual and calm man that has been contemplating his retirement as head coach for the past three years after his team's season has completed. Dungy admitted that he did not want to coach past 50, he is now 51 and again decided that he will return to coaching, for at least one more year. When Dungy does retire, he will be praised for being a great coach and an even better man that deserves nothing but respect. The man that was recently tabbed to be the next head coach is current QB coach and assistant head coach, Jim Caldwell. Caldwell was one of the hottest names out there to be a head coach arid has interviewed for at plethora of head coaching vacancies, before being named future head coach of the Colts. Caldwell, hired in 2001, has head coaching experience as the Wake Forest head coach from 1993-2000, and has developed 6'5 230 lb. laser rocket arm QB Peyton Manning into the superstar that he is. Seattle Seahawks- Mike Holmgren has also been looking into his future the past couple years. The window is closing in on the aging Seahawks, who have won four straight NFC West championships. Watch out for those 49ers, HA! The Seahawks have absolutely no running game anymore, with Shaun Alexander aging in front of ours eyes, with two injury-plagued years since his phenomenal MVP year. The coach that will take over is defensive back coach Jim Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who wasfiredextremely too early. Smart move Atlanta that Petrino hire really worked out didn't it? * Mora was also the former defensive coordinator of the 49ers, should've hired him instead of that bum Dennis Erickson. Jim Mora Jr. also from the Washington area, and his alma mater is the University of Washington, he has head coaching experience, and has head coaching lineage in that his father, Jim Mora Sr. famous for the "PLAYOFFS? You're talking about PLAYOFFS?" line, was former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Cougar Baseball: Week in Review BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars split their two games this week, beating Point Loma (5-2) and losing to UCSD (3-2). to make their record (3-5) in the young season. In the first game of the week, the Cougars handed Point Loma their second straight loss to the Cougars, 8-5. Point Loma struck first with a lead off double by RF Kaohi Downing, who scored on a double play by CF Kurt Steinhauer. The Cougars came back swinging in the top of the 2 , with three runs on two hits. Leading off the top of the 2 , CF Tristan Gale hit his third home run of the year to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. DH Terry Moritz then hit a two-out two-run home run to right to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0. SP Eric Julienne had a strong start, winning his first game of the year, allowing just three runs on six innings pitched with three strike outs and two walks given up. The Cougars would tack on three more runs in the top of the 7 . RF Jared Suwyn continued his hot play going 3-4; with his biggest hit being a tworun single to LF scoring two runs in the three-run inning. P Grant Harrell and Jared Suwyn combined for 2 2/3 of one-hit baseball to nd nd th close out Point Loma 8-5 for the Cougars third win of the year. > In the second game of the week, the Cougars faced the #15 ranked team in the nation Div. II's UCSD. The Cougars and UCSD matched each other 3-3 by the end of the 3 inning. UCSD struck first with a two-run bottom 1 of the 1 inning. DH Franco hit a twoout two-run home run to right field. CF Tristan Gale hit his second home run of the week and fourth of the year to lead off the top of the 2 inning. LF Austin Way would constitute, as the last run the Cougars would score this game with a lead off home run in the top of the 3 . UCSD would break the game open with back-to-back two-run innings in the bottom of the 5 and 6 . RBI singles from CF/LF Domanic and 2B Imesori would lead to the two-runs scored in the bottom of the 5 for UCSD. In the bottom of the 6 , a lead-off double by 3 baseman Bono would start off another two-run inning ending with a RBI's from CF Burke and SS Albitz to make the game 7-3. The Cougars struggled to stop the offensive attack by UCSD using seven pitchers with the longest outing of the seven to be 2 2/3 innings by P Johnny Holtman. The seven pitchers combined to give up 10 runs and 15 hits. The Cougars fall to (3-5) on the season while UCSD is now (3-2). rd st nd rd th th th Point Loma 5 rd Plestse recycle this OA I j $NMT I S «M» mm Baseball th S irPRDAYI �Surf team has best season yet Solid performances help surf team capture second place in conference rankings BY AMBER PUHA Pride Contributor This weekend, the regular season for the National Scholastic Surfing Association College Team Season, concluded at Huntington Beach's 9th Street beach. CSUSM posted a 3rd place finish wrapping up a record best season. With a 2nd place overall finish in the conference ratings, participants from CSUSM posted two 2 place finishes, one 1 , and one third. Prior to this season, CSUSM's best ever single event finish was a 4th. This marks a major break through in the team's 8 year history, and marks its arrival as a serious competitive threat to the larger, beach located schools such as UCSB and UCSD. Thanks to the financial support of Hansen's Boardroom, CSUSM will enter the state championships as the number two seed. UCSB was dominant all nd st season, only faltering with a 3rd place at home, at C Street in Ventura. Otherwise, UCSB posted 1st places. (Two of their three wins came with comfortable margins,) But, CSUSM was nipping at UCSB's heals at the first event of season at La Jolla Blacks Beach, taking second by only a 1/2 of a point. Beside UCSB, the only other team to beat CSUSM this season was Mira Costa College. Mira Costa came on strong down the stretch when the twins, Julian and Alex Ganguli, returned to school and collegiate competition in the spring semester. In the final event of the season, Alex led Mira Costa Red to a second place. « The final weekend of competition was both interesting and exciting for CSUSM. Team anchor Scott McBride exited early, as did Ventura event winner Garrett James. Season standout Chris Smith also didn't have his best event, and Aaron Coyle was unable to compete. This put the final outcome in the hands of Timmy Long and Paul Brandlin (freshman), Sean Hastings (senior), and the ladies Erin Lewis and Lauren Nutter. Pressure seemed no problem for these five as they maintained the determination to keep CSUSM on the podium for the 4th consecutive event. Long looked snappy and vertical in the beach break conditions. Long had a best ever performance in the shortboard men's division, advancing through four rounds of competition to earn 9th place. Brandlin hada sluggish start in round one, but stepped it up after that. He won all his remaining heats until just missing advancement into the shortboard men's final earning 7th place. Brandlin and Long were the top point getters earning 23 points each. Hastings, who also looked quick and snappy in the beach break conditions, showed his determination to make the most of his senior year. He has now seen back to back quarterfinal appearances. The ladies made a point of redeeming themselves after early exits at Ventura. Freshman, Lauren Nutter, charged through two rounds of competition earning 9th. Erin Lewis charged through 3 rounds of competition and qualified for the women's final. CSUSM entered thefinalswith 113 points tied for 2nd place with Mira Costa College. The only problem was that Mira Costa managed to qualify three people for the finals, while CSUSM only had Lewis remaining. At this point, Mira Costa's second placefinishwas foregone conclusion. Lewis however staved off the attack from Point Loma and UCSD to move into 3rd with her 5th place finish in the women's final. UCSB finished first in the event, Mira Costa took second, and CSUSM placed third. Another highlight ofthe season was longboarder Christian Clark, who surfs for CSUSM B team. He made every final event this season, earning 4th, 1st, 3rd and 2nd respectively. He has been the anchor for the CSUSM B team and a serious threat to upset in the longboard division all season long. CSUSM B team surfer Derek Vaickus also had a breakout event with his round three appearance. These two buoyed the B team and kept them on track to qualify for the state championships. CSUSM B earned 12th place in the last event of the season out of 25 teams. State Championships will be on Friday, March 7th at Churches Beach in San Onofre.

In game one, freshman pitcher, Breanna Sandberg allowed only four hits in a fiveinning complete game shutout, allowing for the Cougar offense to go to work at the plate. The Cougars set a school record for runs scored in an inning, with a 10-run bottom of the second, highlighted by freshman, Mimi Krutein's base-clearing triple with one out. Sandberg held Bethany scoreless, striking out six en route to the Cougars 10-0 win. The Cougars followed suit in game two, utilizing solid pitching to capture another huge victory.

With a nickname like CSU Stair Master, most students are able tofightoff the "freshman 15" by simply going to class. However, besides the wide variety of stairs it has to offer, CSUSM also has a wide variety of resources and services dedicated to keeping its students healthy. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) for instance is dedicated to keeping you at the top of your game. As stated in their mission, the goal of the SHCS team is "to provide quality medical care that allows students to perform optimally, physically, and mentally; and to enhance their academic and intellectual potential." The staff includes medical and administrative professionals and the facility even includes a low-cost pharmacy. A student is able to schedule an appointment with a Doctor, Nurse, Counselor or Health Educator, Monday through Friday from 8am-4:45pm. SHCS is located just across the street from campus on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks. For more information regarding SHCS visit the website at http://www.csusm.edu/shcs/. fight Another resource dedicated to a healthier you are the athletic facilities available at the Clarke Field House. The right to use this facility is paid for in part with your tuition every semester, so why not take advantage of it? The Clarke offers a full gym with everything from stationary bikes, to treadmills and free weights to weight machines, Also available to use is both outdoor and indoor volleyball courts. When asked how he liked working out at the Clarke, CSUSM student Travis Wilson said, "[it's a] great place to go work out and socialize with people you might not normally see other places." Wilson also referred to The Clarke as "its own little work out community". The healthy student isn't complete without something healthy to eat on campus. Believe it or not, there are a few places to eat these things. The Dome for instance offers a full salad and soup bar and even has fresh fruit in the University Store, At the University Village Apts. Brian Dawson and family make sure that their students are fed at least one night a week. On Mondays, Dawson usually prepares a meal for 200+ starving college students, ensuring that they are eating healthy and socializing with fellow students. There are also plans in the work for a Student Union which would offer a much wider variety of food to students on campus sometime in the near future, So yes, you should continue to book it up those stairs on the way to class to off the beer belly. But you should also be sure to take advantage of the other resources dedicated to your health along the way. After all, you're only in college once; you should make sure your body makes it out alive.

He definitely did have tech-experts resolved as he waved around a manila envelope leaving us to wonder with anticipation whatever was inside. What he revealed was nothing short of Apple's trademark hype-machine as he pulled out the all-new MacBook Air, the world's thinnest laptop computer and the crown jewel of this year's conference. Granted this new rig is a slick piece of hardware, the question is does it warrant its $1800 price tag? In case anyone is wondering, the MacBook Air is slim, and when I say it's slim, I mean ridiculously slim. Some of the exterior features are a 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen with built-in iSight and mic, 0.76 inches at its thickest and it weighs about three pounds. The weight is somewhat unexpected upon first glance, but that just enhances the sturdiness and mobility of the design. The aluminum chassis is solid with aerodynamic curves and no protrusions, but also it's functional to keep to laptop cool. Its trackpad is a lengthy five inches but there is a reason why. Inside, it sports an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive that clocks in at 4200 rpm. This may seem a little underwhelming considering the older Macbook Pro has a base 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive. However, a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) is an option which conserves power, doesn't spin or heat up and costs an additional $1000. That's right; a $1000 upgrade. I assumed a compact design meant a more compressed keyboard, but lo and behold, opening the laptop reveals a fullsize functional, backlit keyboard. Getting back to that trackpad, aside from normal rotating and pinching, it incorporates new fingering such as a threefinger gesture that enables people to move back and forth on a web browser, which is handy. What makes the MacBook Air such a difficult sell right now is the exclusion of an optical drive. For those who need it, Apple suggests the USB 2.0 SuperDrive available for $99 (yes, another upgrade). It is nice that the laptop has a remote disc function, which detects and runs optical drives from otherMacs or PCs via Bluetooth just as long as it's within the its network, so ^ stalling apps and file-sharing is fine/Still, not having t hatdrivethere is awkward, especially for those who use it for streaming DVDs and music. The ports are nice, but unfortunately the number is inadequate, especially for those that dig that multiple connectivity. The drop-out port has the USB 2.0, a microDVI and headphone jack to go along with the MagSafe power port. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is absolutely reliant since there is no Ethernet port built in. Having said all of that, it is slim. And it is a Mac. Yes, it is portable and stylish because Apple wouldn't want people to have it any other way. Still, for the $1800 price tag plus additions, I'd say either wait for it to go down or go out and get a MacBook Pro instead. With all those extra accessories to lug around, whether you are a student or avid traveler, there isn't any definitive reason to shell out that much money for something this small. But hey, it IS slim. rdversityVi 'My reaction to the Presidential Primary cm Tuesday vas that I was not surprised by the turn out of fared Anderson Freshman "I was really excited & glued to the TV. because of Super Tuesday.

By slight, I only mean over ten feet of new snow that has buried most ofCalifornia's resorts beginning in early January. It all started over the holiday season, when ski resorts were struggling to cover their trails with the small amount of manmade snow they had to work with, in order to accommodate the holiday crowds. Now it has turned into something entirely different. "We went from scavenging snow all over the mountain to get the coverage we needed—to having to push the snow off the trails and chairlifts so that the mountain could operate," said Jim Larmore, Snow Surfaces Director at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA. The inconceivable part is that a great majority of this snow fell over the month of Jan. In fact, meteorologists are reporting a 2008 record snowfall for the month of January. According to "onthesnow. com," the biggest current base depth is reported at 165" at Squaw Valley, USA. No, that was not a typo—165 inches of snow— which is close to 14 ft. That much snow gives the term "freshies" a whole new meaning. Other mountains in the area report similar data, ranging anywhere from 78" on Sierra at Tahoe to 140" at Mammoth Mountain. Then there is the local favorite, Bear Mountain, which currently reports a base depth of 36-48". Still not bad considering that you could hit up Bear in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon. So what should all this mean to you? It means grab a few friends, pick up a pair of snow chains and take a road trip of a lifetime. If you are just planning a day trip, Bear Mountain might be the way to go. But you should know that taking a weekend to head up to Mammoth or Tahoe is well worth it. When asked to describe the current conditions in Lake Tahoe, Larmore said, "this is the best skiing we've had in a number of years." Just how many years that was, well, Larmore said it was reminiscent to "back in the 80s." To put it more simply, this might be one of the biggest ski seasons any of us have experienced in a lifetime. But wait a second, you're still a poor college student right? There is still a way to get yourself up the mountain without having to sell all your books back midway through the semester. First of all, borrow equipment (boots, board, jacket, as much as you can). If not, rental equipment and or clothing should cost no more than $40 a day. The cost that is going to hit the hardest is lift ticket prices. It'll be hard to find a full day price under $60. Luckily there are places like Mt. Rose that know the extent of what's in your pocket. Rose hooks it up with student days ($29/day) and "ladies days" where all ladies ski for $19. A lot of other places offer group rates and weekend package deals. This is the time to "shred." With much of the season left and at the rate that snow is accumulating, the next 4 months could be the time as well. Ski bums would agree with Larmore, that "this should be one of the better endings we've had in many years." "We are planning on extending our season two-three weeks, The backside of Mammoth Mountain on a bluebird day. At top, a skier at Mammoth Mountain geting the infamous powdershot, possibly to the end of May," said Larmore. But, if you don't get a chance to strap-up by then, Mammoth should be lasting until its infamous Fourth of July closure date.

Best Sports Movies BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer What a crazy week it has been for me. Tuesday night I was at the Gaslamp for Mardi Gras. Wednesday was the start of lent where I have 40 days without booze, soda or fast food. Then on Thursday the bug hit me and I was stuck in bed for the weekend. Being stuck in bed for four days, allowed me to watch a bunch of movies, mainly sports films. This led me to this week topic: the top ten sports movies of all time. 10. Remember the Titans. A movie that shows - a team find faith in each other while their community would not. 9. Jerry Maguire. This film brought up the greed and selfishness of players in sports, while brought humor at the same time. Plus, when you think of this film what comes to mind? Guaranteed it is, "Show me the money!" 8. Field of Dreams. This film brings so much more to life than just the game. The film will eventually climb my ladder and move into the top five when I get a little bit older and have kids of my own. 7. The Natural. Everything that goes wrong in an athletes career happens, but a man battles back to get everything he had ever loss. And there is no cheesier ending to a sports movie then this one, but that is what makes it so great. 6. Mystery Alaska. A classic hockey movie that shows what a small town hockey team can do when they are up to the challenge. It is a true hockey game on the pond that brings an amateur hockey team against the New York Rangers. 5. Hoosiers. The greatest basketball movie ever made. An undisciplined team gets light from an unusual coach. A huge underdog team tries to make a run at a state championship in Indiana. 4. Rocky. The beginning of what becomes one of the greatest collection of films. The theme for a great sports movie is to have an underdog story, and this is probably one of the greatest underdog stories of all times. 3. Slap Shot. Probably one of the most of the best slap stick comedy sports films out there. But there are no better one liners •and raunchy humor than this movie brings to the picture. 2. Bull Durham. A love triangle that has an experienced catcher, a wild pitcher and a loving groupie who gives the two the love and advice they need. L Miracle, There is not a more famous quote in the sports world than A1 Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Of course I am going to have a hockey movie as my number one, and yes I have three in my top ten. But Miracle is a'film that shows how a country that needed a miracle got a hockey game. If you feel like there is a movie that doesn't belong or if I was just completely off. Feel free to email me your list or comments to churc009@csusm.edu orpride@csusm.edu.

The harmonious and self-proclaimed "original gangster from Cleveland," Bushwalla counts his past 22 years of performance as merely the foundation for his current career status. At the youthful age of nine, Bushwalla, or back then known as William D. Galewood, joined "Kids on Broadway," (a live musical theater group for youth) in which his love for performing, acting, singing, and bringing joy into the lives of others was first actualized. Rocking the mic around town and across the nation, the former clown (yes, a professional clown for 8 years) beat-boxes and entertains at anywhere from low-key house shows to playing international festivals with his roomie and longtime friend, Jason Mraz. This past weekend, I had the lovely opportunity to catch up with Bushwalla for a brief interview in the sun, overlooking the Oceanside Pier, as we contemplated the fate of the shabby house whose glory days of being in "Top Gun" have long gone. I have also been fortunate to attend several of Bushwalla's shows as of late, as he is wrapping up a month-long M Sunday night residency at Mueller College, across the street from the former Twiggs Green Room down in University Heights. Don't worry; you can still catch him there this upcoming Sunday! Each show not only encouraged my obsession for live music, but it transformed me into a pivotal element in the show itself. You see, should you be so lucky to partake in a Bushwalla experience—and I should hope you would—you would quickly find that audience participation at shows is not only encouraged, it's mandatory! At any Bushwalla show, you might be pleasantly surprised to find Bushwalla trying to balance his guitar on his chin, and walk across the audience's chairs with everyone still seated—among other humorous antics—all of which cement his showmanship, his talent, and his affair with improv. Therefore, without further ado, the following is an excerpt from the wildly amusing and singular interview with Bushwalla. The Pride: How did you come up with the name Bushwalla? Bushwalla: I used to listen to the Ghetto Boys when I was 16 years old. They had this guy, Bush with Bill, and I had a system in my car so I'd bump [it], and my friends started calling me Bush with Billy. So, when I moved to New York to go to school, I went to the orientation and I walk in and I hear "Bushwick!" and I'm like "what?" It was a guy from Cleveland, so then my friends up there started calling me Bushwick. And then I teamed up with Mraz and eventually we were writing together one day and he goes, "Dude, you can't be Bushwick, there already is one," and so I said, "What about Bushwalla?", and it was as simple as that. I didn't think twice about it. Maybe if I would have known then what I know now, I might not have chosen Bushwalla. It's a blessing and a curse. But what's in a name? You know what I mean? I could easily do the same thing under any name. The Pride: What has been the biggest personal transformation in your music so far? Bushwalla: Repetition, playing with different people, doing as many shows as I try to do, and confidence. The more confidence you have, the cooler you look. And I don't mean ego, I don't mean you're up there going "I'm awesome." It's a confidence you say to yourself. Affirmations are a big thing for me. It's all about taking down the fourth wall and being one with the audience, experiencing it with them. I think the discovery of that, that they're as much my audience as I am their audience—if I can get on a ride with them and we can surf together the hour I'm on stage—that's what it is, and that's where confidence comes from. The Pride: Tell me about your new album. Bushwalla: The new album is called "Autodidactical, Freestyle, and Radical." Autodidactical isn't really a word. It's kind of like a made up word, and I wrote it in a song years ago. "Autodidact" means self-taught, which I am. And "freestyle" is basically how I live my life, how I live my shows, it's just how we all should be doing it. "Radical" is just like radical thinking; the album is radical. It really captures the Bushwalla mentality, Photo by Maryam Bushwalla serenading local coffeeshop-goers at Hot Monkey Love Cafe the comedy, the seriousness. The guy who produced the album, Andre DeSantanna, put his touch on the whole thing. He really let it evolve into an art piece and not just another merch item. I think it's a very honest album. I don't think there's a single; I don't even know what a single is. But I'll tell you what, I think every one of them is a song that someone could respond to. Like you may not like tracks one to eight, but you might really dig nine. The Pride: How many tracks are on the new album? lesson? Don't die your hair pink. I was going for another color, but it ended up that way. Live life. Live high. Experience. College gives you amazing things. Independence; that's what I got from college. I met some of the best friends I have to this day in college. It was the seed that planted my adult life. I went to New York and got crazy for two years, and learned how to write songs. I didn't have to try to be what I thought I was supposed to be. i man, Jason Mraz; and he is not only a great friend of mine, he's a fantastic artist. It's going to be done on recycled, biodegradable paper with vegetable oil ink—totally green. Like when we put the album together, I said if there is one thing I want, I want it to be a green album. I went to San Francisco and did the Green Festival, and it's very important to me to not contribute to the waste. Bushwalla: You know, some things in life you don't know— you just trust. I don't know why I make music. If you asked me why I made music, I'd have no idea. If you talked to any of the surfers in front of us, they could try to explain to you what surfing means to them, but the only true answer is what's happening inside of them right now while they're on that board. And it's like after I'm done making music or doing a show, you just go back. But maybe if I stopped in the middle of a show, and you asked me that question, I'd probably be able to answer it, or I wouldn't even have to because you would just see what it meant to me. It's part of breathing. It's part of me. If I were to cut off music in my life, I would be an amputee. I would be disabled. There is no other option than performing [for me]. Performing is music, magic and making peace. Bushwalla: There are 11 listed, and then there are some surprises. I would say the last week of March it will be available online, on iTunes, CDBaby.com, bushwalla.net, a link through MySpace, and through live shows.

The biggest walla.net �Dramas mistaken for comedies BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer For the sake of increasing appeal, a rising trend in Hollywood is to market a film to suit viewer taste. As comedies are a more popular genre, marketers and critics label films as such. Calling serious movies 'laughout-loud' is gross misrepresentation. Most of these films have some moments to laugh at, either to break the tension, or if a situation is farfetched, or because they are stories of real life, which is a comical event. Therefore, I chose to re-label these films as dramas with comedic moments. Though this is not exclusive to the twenty hundreds, I will use recent films to make my point. The first is "Sideways." Even though this 2004 movie includes witty banter between Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, as well as a funny moment about a car and a tree, this is not a comedy. When analyzed, the content of this film is serious and at times dark. It is not right to treat the topics of infidelity, betrayal, and substance addiction so lightly. Theflawsof both characters are not laughing matters. Following that in 2006 was "Little Miss Sunshine." Those who disbelieve, stay in your seat while I explain why it is unreasonable for this movie to garner a nomination for the Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy.' The moments of comedy occur because some scenes are uncomfortable and laughter is either needed to break the tension or because it is the easiest reaction to feel, especially in a movie with Steve Carell. This movie is 100% drama. Consider the themes of suicide, bankruptcy, heroin addiction, depression, and death. I find it hard to even chuckle at any of these situations, which makes me wonder why so many critics called it the funniest movie of the year. Finally, I find it fitting to mention last year's "Juno." The tagline reads 'a comedy about life and the bumps along the way.' I find this far from the truth. Juno's smug attitude only earns an occasional laugh. However, I enjoyed this film because of the great story about teen pregnancy and relationships. These issues therefore make this a drama. That is not to say I did not like the films, for it is quite the contrary. I t is that I appreciated them on the level I saw them, not the way a money-hungry marketer told me to like it.

Star Brand Imports of White Plains, New York, handles importing the brewery's beer. The brewery brews the ale slowly and all naturally as they have done for over 360 years. The brewery has a long and perplexing history. Thefirstofficial document regarding the brewery dates back to 1634. The brewery was originally a monastery establishment that produced strong beer to aid the pain in fasting. In 1780, the monastery received official permission to sale their beer. In 1806 and under new ownership once again, the brewery began to expand. In 1844, the brewery escaped devas- ^ tation during a revolt against the prince in Munich. In 1881, the brewery begins to utilize the invention of the ice machine to enable them to produce beer year-round. In 1986, they brew the world'sfirstalcohol-free wheat beer. In 2005, they brew the world'^ first alcohol-free yeast-based white beer. Throughout the years the brewery has experienced vast expansion and numerous ownership changes. The website also hosts an interesting yet questionable timeline about the history of beer. For example, they claim in 1500 BC "According to the Egyptian mythology the God Osiris, God of agriculture, taught man the art of brewing beer. The Egyptians learn how to brew beer by allowing barley to germinate in pots and the malt mash to ferment through wild yeast andfinallyrefining the taste of their beer with date sauce." The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99. The container portrays a snapshot of a family enjoying the outdoors amongst a snow capped Munich. The bottles contain the same imaging. A white bottle cap with the company's logo caps an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.5%. The ale pours semi-smooth generating a half inch thick head. The head remains trapping in an assortment offlavors.The ale has a murky golden hue common of hefeweizen styled ales. A faint aroma arises from the glass. The ale enters gently. Small packets of taste gingerly massage the mouth. The ale passes leaving a supple wheat tasting residue for an extended amount of time. The soft nature of the ale ensures a pleasant pairing with almost any lunch or dinner item. As always, please enjoy responsibly. On Wednesday, February 13 , student residents can take part in a speed-dating event entitled, 'Come Single, Leave Lucky.' Tables will be up set so that young men and women can pair together and chat for a few minutes and try to make a connection for the most romantic holiday of the year. Recent conferences to share program ideas inspired this event.. As well as a chance to meet a special someone, there will also be hors d'oeuvres th and'mock tails'to refresh flirting people who grow weary. Conrad Ottey, an RA, says, "Our goal is that people get to know each other. It is not just about a love connection, but students getting to meet others." Nick Falconer, a student who plans on attending says, "I hope to meet more than a few new ladies, but having a good time is most important." Based on the success of the program, it may become a yearly tradition.

X IX NO. 5 NIU Campus Shooting Raises Safety Concerns Emergency Preparedness Urged by University Police BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 14, Northern Illinois University Graduate Student, 27-year-old Steven Kazmierczak, opened fire in a lecture hall on campus killing five students before turning the gun on himself. The next day, President Karen Haynes released a message to the campus community. "I know I speak for all of us that we feel great sadness and empathy for the students, faculty, staff and families of those personally affected by the tragedy at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Our sympathy goes out to them as they struggle to deal with the shock at such a sudden and violent loss to their community," President Haynes said. While questions regarding the motives of a student with no record of trouble and in good academic standing will likely go unanswered, administration is reaching out to students and fac- ulty to help focus on preventative measures. "We've had several systems in place even before Virginia Tech because we are such a newer campus," said University Police Department Emergency Manager, Dean R. Manship. "One thing people probably aren't aware of is that we have the ability to lock down pretty much all of our buildings from University police dispatch. So if we had some sort of situation like that, within two seconds they could click on one of their displays to lock down all the exterior doors for campus buildings and interior buildings for some of the newer buildings such as Markstein Hall." Manship stressed the need for students to program the University Police dispatch line (760-750-4567) into their cell phones in order to connect directly with University Police dispatch for a rapid response, rather than dialing 911 and being connected with the Highway Patrol. Students can also register for the emergency notification system at www.csusm.edu/ep to receive notifications only during an emergency. The system can notify students via cell phone, landline phones, text messages, and e-mail. The shooting rampage is the latest to plague the United States since last April's shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University which claimed the lives of 32 people. See Shooting, Page 2 Greek Rush Week begins at CSUSM Interest in Greek life grows as campus expands BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer As another semester passes, comes the beginning of a new one, bringing new opportunities to make new friends and participate in social events. For those who do not know: fraternities and sororities on campus are beginning to grow more and more as the years go by, with new ones being started as our school begins to grow. Seeing this college grow so .quickly makes being a part of it even better. Fraternities and sororities give people, especially those new to Cal State San Marcos, the opportunity to meet new people and experience things they might not be able to anywhere else. Anyone who has been on campus has seen the letters and tables for the fraternities and sororities. This week kicks off the rush week for both fraternities and sororities — and an exciting one it will be. Below are the dates and times and a description of what events will be going on this week. These events help give insight into what these fraternities and sororities are all about. Be sure to check them out.

Tom Short, a traveling speaker from Columbus, Ohio spoke about his Christian beliefs on the stairs between Academic Hall and Craven Hall between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Although CSUSM is no stranger to public expressions of beliefs and opinions, Mr. Short's showing was one of the largest the campus has seen in recent years. Drawing in hundreds of students throughout the course of the day, Short elicited impassioned debates from many otnHArifc resent. students pnrAOPnt Short touched on many issues ranging from evolution to homosexuality, at times provoking heated responses to his controversial statements. Those who disagreed were most often the ones first to speak out, while others simply listened on quietly. "I advocate that we convert the gay people," said Short. "Homosexuality is a sin." One student quickly replied, "That's according to the Bible. Why do they need to be saved because they're gay? Why do they need to be saved because of their sexual orientation?" Despite some of his inflammatory remarks, Short emphasized that he was not there to place judgment. However, students like Nastajja McDonald disagreed.

Short continued shortly thereafter following a brief conversation with campus police. Reactions were mixed among students in the audience. Sopmore Erika Ervin echoed the belief of many students in attendance saying, "While I do agree with some of what he is saying, I don't like his argumentative methods."

"We see a lot more adults are warming up to what we offer lately, in some cases more than the younger students," he said. "As they should, safety is important to everyone, not just the youth." Judy Heard, Sexual Health Resource Advisor at Birth loice in San Marcos stressed the importance of being safe and informed. "We just want students to understand that they are special, they are a g ift they need to treasure, not just for themselves, but for the person they marry and their children " said Heard. "There are worse things in the world than getting pregnant, like getting an STD."

The processor takes a few seconds and validates the transaction. Then a Cougar selects one or multiple sodas. The Cougar finishes by pressing the blue "Complete" button. The processor then displays a "Thank You." The processor does not print a receipt. Although various credit card and banking companies might have different methods of identifying the transaction, the transaction shows up as "Vend at Cola" on monthly billing statements. Not all Cougars are eager to use the new process. "I wouldn't use it because I am very skeptical. There are just so many ways that people can get your credit card information," said Senior Business Major Jillian Cox. Last semester Coca-Cola vending machines across the campus received an upgrade allowing Cougars to utilize credit cards in purchasing a soda. The card processing machine accepts credit cards or banking cards with credit card logos and does not require the insertion of a personal identification number. The addition happened over night and not all Cougars are aware of this new capability. "I didn't even know they had them but I would probably use them though," said Senior Biology Major Levi Williams. The simple process starts with a Cougar - The new addiction • You make this week look good. Pay attention to all aspects of your potential, and by the weekend, you may get exactly what you wanted. Of course, that depends on how you handle Thursday and Friday: are you going to float on through or let the nay-sayers sink your rubber duckie? Leo Someone call the fire department because your love life is about to get sizzling hot. One wrong turn though and it's gone, baby, gone, so don't be too quick to blow off t he guy at the grocery store or the girl behind the Starbucks counter. Also, quit pissing off your coworkers. It's going to blow up in your face on Thursday. Gemini Your fluid nature gets a real test from a coworker on Thursday. Sometimes just letting your anger come out is the best way to handle a situation. Beware of a smooth-talker tomorrow, keep up the hard work, and your week will come out polished just the way you want it. Cancer Your attempts at channeling Rico Suave don't go exactly how you've planned, and on Wednesday, the Gemini you've been pining for slips through your fingers. Put away your Aqua Net and acid wash jeans and try being a real human being. Besides, now is the time to focus on the home front, before your proverbial French Virgo Love hurts. Not as much as friends talking smack, though. Because you can find 50 ways to leave your lover, but friends cling to you through the years. Try to mend some fences, and spend some time relaxing solo, and if that doesn't work, hire a South American assassin.

With Rock Band containing 58+ tracks out of the box and Guitar Hero sporting 71+ tracks, you would think that the latter would be the victor when it comes to variety. But with downloadable songs every week, both games have the potential to be on top when it comes to variety. With a character creation feature, Rock Band players have a chance to rock out with their very own personalized avatar that excels at one particular role in the band. Which means, that while Guitar Hero players are limited to wailing on the guitar, Rock Band players have the freedom to choose a responsibility within the band: guitar, bass, drums, and (my personal favorite) vocals. There is so much substance to both games that make them great. But if there had to be one, I'd recommend Rock Band to anyone that could afford its hefty price tag (about $170 compared to Guitar Hero's $90). With the variety and varying difficulties of each instrument, Rock Band offers a multitude of possibilities with every new song pack that becomes available. While I respect both series, I would easily recommend Rock Band to anyone with a pseudodream of super rock stardom.

For several reasons pertaining to the show itself and its negative influence on others shows as well as society, "American Idol" is a drain on the nation. First, the show is the same every year. Since its inception, copying the British show "Pop Idol," the program has consistently been the same. The formula is to get thousands of people in major cities across the nation and take a picture to give the illusion that FOX gives that many people the chance to compete. It would take months for all to sing in front ofthe infamous three judges, which means the show prescreens most contestants. The only ones who make it to the judges are the decent singers and of course, the bad. The show only gives the chance to these poor singers so that the rest of the nation can laugh at them, which is a pitiful way to boost one's ego. | Games G r e a t F ood O v e r 5 0 H o o k a h F lavor's As the show progresses, the judges 'cut the fat' as each week another singer is eliminated. The contestants face the wrath of the judges, who are stereotypical to a tee. There is the yuppie who never says anything bad, one who cannot stop saying 'dawg', and the last who is a miserable human being putting on the act that he is incapable of being pleasant. Finally, the judges say that each year the contestants are better despite the fact that only two relatively famous stars have come from the show, according to albums sold. "American Idol" is a repetitive process forced upon the nation each year to bring a new music 'sensation.' However, the show is responsible for more cultural problems in this country than musical talent. Singers on the show only survive if they put on proverbial blinders and sing only pop songs. This leads to people being uncreative and listening to only one type of music. In my opinion, rap and pop music are responsible for relaxed morals, including increases in promiscuity and drug use among young people. It is time for "American Idol" to take the blame for what is has done. M o n d a y N ight P ool T o u r n a m e n t D ally L unch a n d D inner S peclais H a p p y H our 4 : 0 0 - 6 : 0 0 P .

Beginning on Nov. 5,2007, the writers of television shows and motion pictures stopped working due to issues with DVD profits and credit for new media, which include Internet shows and 'on-demand' programs. The Eastern and Western Writers' Guilds laid terms for a new contract on February 10 and voted it in place two days later. According to the website for the Writers Guild of America, East, (WGAE) votes in favor of the new contract totaled an overwhelming 92.5%. The president of the WGAE, Michael Winship, said, "The commitment and solidarity of our members made it happen . .. our two unions stronger than ever." The members of the AMPTP, which include the Presidents and CEOs of entertainment studios, responded saying, "We hope now to focus our collective efforts on what this industry does best ... working together to deliver great content to our worldwide audiences." r Though the unions are pleased with the results, this strike did not come without its cost. One of the most prominent was the canceling of the Golden Globe ceremony. The shockwaves cost the city of Los Angeles $380 million, according to NPR, due to tourism loss as well as losses surrounding food and limo services and hotels. Also, studios may cut new shows that never got rolling, and the people who work undistinguished jobs behind the camera lost income. Both guilds and the AMPTP are looking to make the best of the situation and bringing entertainment back to the viewers. Leave the Sprinting to us.

This was without a doubt the most incredible performance this year. It is too bad the Academy did not nominate him for best male lead, because with his performance, his presence resonates even when he is off screen. Bardem has created a villain that can stand ground among the likes of Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and Norman Bates. An honorable mention belongs to Gasey Affleck for his work in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," because he showed he has seri- ous acting skills, unlike his brother Ben. Best Male Actor Best Director Best Picture Best Female Actor "No Country for Old Men." What a surprise. There is not much more to say than this is a flawless film. To all who took part in the making of this movie: congratulations and thank you. Ellen Page for "Juno." This one is a call from my gut. Page gave a refreshing, yet smug, performance, and the Oscars have a tendency to favor young stars, such as in 1993 when Anna Paquin won best frnmt supporting female actor in "The 1 w m k Piano," and she was only 11-yearsold at the time. With all due respect, she may not have come out Daniel Day-Lewis for "There on top in a stronger field. Will Be Blood." Not to be misogynistic, but the performances by men were incredible this year. All nominated gave stunning Kate Blanchett for " I'm Not There." In a weak field, she deliv- performances that filmgoers will ered a strong performance that should secure a second Oscar.

Best Supporting Female Actor Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen for "No Country for Old Men." "No Country" was the most acclaimed movie this year, and behind it were these two film geniuses. With so many other great films to their credit, this award has eluded them. Now with another masterpiece they can finally claim the title. They deserve this award due to their work with the story, the performances they got from the actors, and the making of another American cinema classic.

The seven gold medal stout pours rich and creamy creating a three fourths inch thick head. Although the head gradually shrinks it remains for the entire duration. The stout darkens the glass with a near black eerie texture. Shockingly, the stout enters smooth and passes smooth. The climax occurs between sip and swallow with a slight tingle on the tongue. The tingle although meek in power, lingers in the mouth for several moments. Ultimately, an oak residue coats the tongue after the encounter. The week's stout offers a high ABV without offending the taste buds. The thick stout pairs well with heavy dinner entrees e.g. steak and potatoes.

Photo by Ben Roffee/The Pride "Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community The intersection of Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos S heriffs Department notified CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city residents, the s heriffs department plans to focus more attention on the intersection. The s heriffs department aims to enforce all vehicle codes, but more specifically, they plan to focus on violations of Vehicle Code 22526, also known as the Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola- tion costs approximately $150. University police are currently focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs department requests assistance in patrolling the intersection, then university police will o ffer its support in the matter as well. Drivers violate the code when "they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go through but they cannot make it all the way through the light and it t urns red. They are blocking the intersection," said Lieutenant Douglas Miller of the University Police Department. "It is pretty basic. You block the intersection and you get a ticket j ust like anywhere else.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Monthly Program Continues its Multicultural Educational Forums Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The Center for Border and Regional A ffairs hosted a screening of the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio D e L a Torre and promotoras, Hispanic community outreach workers, f rom Tijuana featured in the film. There are currently about 4,000 maquiladoras across the Mexican border. Eighty percent of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women. Women are o ften preferred over men because they are "cheap, docile and have agile hands." The average maquiladora worker receives $11 p er day. "We are simply objects of labor," said a f actory worker in the film. To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory workers in Tijuana, community organizations in Mexico and the United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of the women at the center of t he industry. The film f ocuses on the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers and the environment. Filmmakers provided the women with cameras and taught them how to shoot. For five years t he women documented their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products dumped throughout the com- munity. " Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated worker in the film. Although 'Maquilopolis' stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world in pursuit of cheap labor and lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers can organize ways t o demand appropriate law enforcement successfully. In t he film, many of the women were fighting back against the companies they worked for. Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their case settled and they received severance pays ranging f rom $1000-$2000. A fter the screening, CSUSM faculty member, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, introduced De La Torre and three promotoras to a round of applause f rom the lecture hall. The featured guests were met with a multitude of questions stemming f rom the film. J )irec|or : Sergio De La Torre served a s translator for the promotoras. Many students placed blame on t he Mexican government for i ts lack of initiative on the issue and asked why certain laws were not in place to prevent businesses f rom contaminating t he environment.

The T hinking Outside the [lunch]Box series is a monthly forum facilitated by Cal State instructors and/or guests to have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic is: "Are you passing?" "Passing is a sociological concept which refers to members of a racial group being accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Facilitating this event is Dr. Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington, a graduate student of CSUSM. With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators with a willingness to learn, this event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get involved, let their voices be heard, and make connections. "Statistics say that students who form relationships outside of classrooms are more likely t o graduate and continue on to grad. school and these venues provide opportunities to make connections and social support groups outside of the classroom," states Franklin. The forum coordinators are looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have. "It would be a good place to meet people that have different opinions about 'passing'. It's an avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross Cultural Center. Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the promise of f ree food and the opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly event. �THE c i p r i d e • lllÉi ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ I ARTS ,:* & ^ £ DITÜR * TORIA $i*QRT$ From TRAFFIC, page 1 headed down one lane.

He identifies 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on Monday and Wednesday; and 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday and Thursday as peak traffic times. Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can arrive at alternate times to reduce the problems associated with peak traffic congestion. "Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z lot. Very few students park in upper or lower B lot. If people managed when they came onto campus and parked on B, X, Y, and Z lots then they would reduce a lot of traffic. They pass open spaces. If we can get people to show up on non-peak times and park in other spaces, it would greatly reduce t raffic," said Miller.

One BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer We have all seen it, but have only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our merry way to Cougar Central or the University Store. It is that one lone room on the third floor of Craven Hall right across the hall from the plethora of murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural Center—a place that is warm and open to anyone looking for a multicultural and sociable experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them academically. It is also an area where you can critically discuss issues of multiculturalism and diversity." The Cross Cultural Center is an accepting environment with a multitude of different students who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break fj-om class to be with friends. Furthermore, with a courteous staff of Student Peer Educators whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and a host of diversity programs, there is much to learn from them as well as C3's visitors. "I love being a part of the growing diversity on campus and giving other people the opportunity to interact with other cultures," says Auriel Dice, a Student Peer Educator in the C3. The academic and personal growth aspects of C3 are valuable to one's growth as a person, and what better way is there to learn, than to learn while having fun? With the combination of a set of large, red, and very comfortable couches as well as a giant 42" plasma ^screen, it is paradise for any student who wishes to relax while watching the news or Discovery Channel. Along with the connections that the visitors and staff of the C3's bring, the center is also conveniently connected with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to Orientation Team, Greek life, and 80+ other student organizations. "So many different people come in and just hang," says Kevin Chatham, Student Peer Educator of C3, "It's a friendly place with a lot of laughs and smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn, and grow, the Cross Cultural Center is a room on campus that should be visited regularly. In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in that office myself, it'd be hard to not find me in C3 regularly. .of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a 1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle, though marginally less attractive. The COBY player retails for as low as $25, but has received sub-par reviews relating to the aesthetics and dependability. One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99 price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color screen. The price tag along with fact that the device has a screen makes it one of the more desirable choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

Melanie Niedens would say that energy drinks "play a huge role on campus". At any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up for those few hours of sleep they missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage really fill the void? Its hard to tell at this point, since the long term effects of the energy drink craze has not yet been fully observed. It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that are made available to students on campus at CSUSM. When asked about a healthy alternative, Nie- dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an organic, naturally caffeinated tea reminiscent of a green tea flavor. Yerba Mate has just recently been made available for purchase in the Cougar Corner. Another alternative to gain just a bit of energy and or focus is Vitamin Water. Also according to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our number one seller". This reassuring fact proves that most students are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick up. It would not be a surprise, however, to see the way energy drinks are advertised and distributed on college campuses nationwide for years to come.

His worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in time f ifty years ago. In those days, families would load up their vans with tents and surfboards and take a weekend drive to relax and enjoy unscathed vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean breeze and sandy shores. It's one of the benefits living there in this area - being able to enjoy a great number of outdoor activities like running and hiking trails or simply watching surfers and wildlife as they crash up and down waves. As he continued speaking, he would go on to mention how much of a blessing the land is as well as the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre. It would be a shame that if many years from now, asphalt highways obliterated the natural settings only to save commuters countless hours stuck in traffic each year. Though softly spoken, his words resonated with the importance of maintaining this natural reserve and how simply laying pavement over them cannot solve problems. Some things are better left in nature's hands and simply be left untouched by the hordes of politicians and developers. The name of this man, for those curious, was Clint East- wood. As the epitome of the California surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard about the pristine qualities of San Onofre State Beach ~ particularly the area known as Trestles Beach. It houses numerous breaks that range from beginner sets, to some of the finer breaks here on the west coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding, untouched by land developers, and one of the few of its kind that exists along the California coastline. Even though this state paik is the fifth-most visited amongst the 278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers alike for its famous surf spots—it doesn't just cater to them. People come in their campers and trailers looking to admire a beautiful sunset along a spot on the beach. Trestles Beach is also a natural reserve that serves as home to numerous flora and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles, thrill seekers usually park their cars off the side of a road and trek through a long, winding trail from either the upper or the lower ends of the state park to find this hidden gem of a surf spot. For local Marines stationed in nearby Camp Pendleton, the area serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the week, providing a little rest and relaxation. For them, Trestles is an introduction t o the Pacific surf culture, and for some, it's the first beach they've ever seen. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that makes Trestles widely adored within the surfing community; earning its name as the Yosemite of Surfing. Annually, the area is host to world-class competitions hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the National Scholastic Surfing Association. Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles has seen its share of lingering and potential issues that threaten its serene shores. The last several years have had locals galvanizing a debate over the latest issue that involves expanding a proposed toll road (an extension to State Route 241). The extension would connect Orange County and San Diego with the construction ofa six-lane highway, and it is estimated to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares on Interstate 5. The main goal is to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San Diego County daily In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any. A 16-mile expansion would cut right through the state park and end right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups SPRINTER March 9,2008 argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and eliminate miles ofhiking and biking trails, reduce campground areas and increase the amount of polluted runoff into the park's watershed, not to mention the loss of a world-class surf spot. This is the first proposed project of its kind to have a highway run through any state park. Anytime commuters hear of a proposed solution to end gridlock, they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly 125,000 vehicles pass through the area each day. According to a study done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an estimated trip down the Interstate 5 corridor could take almost an hour to get through by the year 2025. Earlier this month in Del Mar, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing and listened to the implications and concerns of the expansion's opponents. The crowd of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours of deliberation, the CCC voted 8-2 against any proposed highway through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of the supportersrepresentedthe "Save Trestles" campaign, which for years battled against such an expansion. The Commission concluded that aspects of the project simply failed to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable. Mainly, the reason for this ruling by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law, raising concerns for both the region and social responsibility. Peter Douglas, the executive director of the CCC, said, "This toll road raises fundamental questions about what kind of environmental and social future we want for our coastal communities, our families, our children and theirs." Though the locals won this battle, the war is still farfromover-Orange county lobbyists have not conceded defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the Commission's ruling. According to Thomas Margro, the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer, "This project is the best option for relieving traffic congestion with the least amount of impact on communities and the environment." Still, the debate remains strong whether a highway through a state beach like the one threatening Trestles Beach is the best solution. Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic. Through the debate though, one thing remains clear: Trestles Beach is a California icon.

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer According to the Center for Disease Control, the 2007-2008 Flu Season is one of the worst on record. Some U.S. health officials believe the severity is due to an ineffectivefluVaccine while others say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame. Either way, bacteria and viruses are virtually inescapable. Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way to steer clear of infection. But what to evade? The following list draws from numerous medical studies and professional opinions to try to shed light on what are most likely the grimiest places on our campus. 1. Drinking Fountains More like a rather large Petri dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The reason for the incredible amount of bacteria is because the faucet is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli, staphylococcus, and a whole host of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water for about 15 seconds before taking a sip as a way of clearing a portion of the existing bacteria. 2. Classrooms That'sright.Those things you're stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the amount of bacteria as you would find on an ordinary workplace desk; 7 times that of a doctor's office. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," says Charles Gerba, microbiologist. A classroom desk has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given time. What's more, the desk you're at can keep a cold orflubug viable for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much appreciated peace of mind; they do kill 99% of surface germs. 3. Restroom Doors Think about it. Every single person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place. As said by the American Society of Microbiologists, approximately 68% of people actually wash their hands before leaving the restroom. So, that means that nearly one third of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from several people to the restroom door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement. Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your ABCs while you wash your hands as a good 20 seconds will cleanse thoroughly. 4. Stair Handrails It's no secret that CSUSM has Considering a Career In Physical Therapy?

UNIVERSITY OF ST: A UGUSTINE RSYP by visiting our website www,usa,edu/fle% or catling Mary Noor at 1-866-557-3731 a rather hefty number of stairs on campus, which provides an unusually high prospect for germs to be exposed to a number of students. Microbes open to the elements are able to survive for about two hours on the metal, non-porous painted stair rails. As frightening as it is, researchers have found everything from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the culprits behind dysentery), and even blood harboring hepatitis A. When it comes to a surface as common as stair railing, all I can say is this: just don't touch. 5. Vending Machines Essentially, outdoor things with buttons on them are ghastly. If you buy your parking permits by the day, that keypad you touch can have 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Maybe you've decided to bypass the drinking fountain for bottled water. A vast improvement, yes, but the array of germs on the outside of the machine could trans- fer from the button, to your hand, to the bottle top, right on into your mouth. Not only that, but paper money is one of the dirtiest things you can handle. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in quite handy in these situations, but be careful as overuse can cause your immune system to weaken. As simple as it may seem, proper hand washing technique is truly your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic, use a paper towel to turn it on. The soap you use doesn't need to be antibacterial, but you must lather well, being sure not to ignore your wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds rinse thoroughly, and choose a paper towel over an air dryer, as it can blow bacteria all over your freshly washed hands. Don't rely on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for soap and water. �gramming language.

Trying to improve their record to .500, the Cougars lost in a shootout to #13-ranked California Baptist University. Cal Baptist started off the game strong with a five run 1st inning. RF Eddie Quevedo, who gave nightmares to Cougar pitching, doubled to left center to knock in three runs to put Cal Baptist up 5-0. Both starting pitchers, Jared Suwyn and Joe Martinez, could not last 5 innings giving up seven and five runs respectively. The relief pitchers of both teams did not fair much better. By the top of the 6th inning, the Cougars kept chipping away at Cal Baptist's lead and would finally tie the score at 8. Thanks to an error by CF Robert Lundy the Cougars would get two unearned runs in a three r un inning.

SUNDAY Men's Golf % Point Loma Invitational �UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The best fight of 2008 could come as early as March 2 as Anderson "The Spider5' Silva and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a Champion. Silva, who sits atop the summit of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, seeks to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent welterweight belt from the now defunct Pride promotion (Pride welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions). "The Spider" entered the UFC in 2006 and has dominated the middleweight division with his devastating stand up game. A product of the famed Brazilian "Chute Box" team, Silva is an expert in Muay Thai and also received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend, Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera. On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the middleweight belt, knocking out the champion halfway into the first round. Since then, Silva has reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his title against Travis Lutter, Nathan Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in his most recent fight, a rematch. Prior to his current UFC reign, Silva held the Cage Rage middle- weight title from 2004 to 2006. If there is only one middleweight contender in the world that can beat Anderson Silva, it is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently proven himself to be a top-tier fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205 lb. divisions. From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously held the welterweight (185 lb.) and middleweight (205 lb.) titles. Most recently, Henderson lost a hard fought, five round battle for the UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, one of the most ruthless fighters in the history of MM A. The Fight: Silva can expect a f ull five round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one of Silva's greatest strengths is his Muay Thai clinch, he should really avoid allowing Henderson to close the distance. The best place for Silva to win this fight will be standing up, delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker as Silva may be, Henderson's Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride granite chin will make it difficult for Silva to knock him out. Silva needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out Henderson. Although Henderson has never shied^ away from the stand-up game, he needs to keep in mind that Silva is one of the deadliest strikers in the business. Should he stand with Silva, Henderson should keep him in close prox- imity, where Silva's kicks, knees, and jabs are much less effective. Henderson will also find it much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight and his greatest defense against Silva's powerful knee strikes. Taking the fight to the ground where Silva is not as effective in dealing damage should be a key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend his title into the late fourth and fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the fight. Prediction; Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

But this week I want to talk about two great players who found a way to cheat the system and maybe the legal system. Both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have put up unbelievable numbers over the years in the pros, but those numbers appeared to be tampered. Bonds, the single season and career homerun leader in Major League Baseball, may have found a way to cheat the legal system like he has cheated baseball all these years. Bonds' legal team has found typos in the filing by prosecutors. Now Bonds may have found his scapegoat in perjury . and obstruction of justice charges. A typo in notes stating that Bonds failed a drug test in 2001 was the mistake, when the player called "Barry B." failed a drug test in 2000 in the BALCO reports. Here is my issue. Bonds you cheated, you got caught, now face the wrath. I understand that you deserve a fair trial and that you College Lif© BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every high school student dreams of graduating senior year and heading off to a new life in college, f ull of partying, meeting new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents. Some schools have the reputation of being party schools; others have the reputation of being strictly education only. To be honest I didn't hear much about Cal State San Marcos other than that it was really new and I could get a good education. I moved down here from South Lake Tahoe, which is a real small town, especially compared to Southern California; so needless to say, it was a bit of a culture shock. My sister went to SDSU and it definitely had a great social atmosphere. When I moved here, I didn't get the same feeling; the city of San Marcos was no college town, to say the least. The longer I live here the more I notice that San Marcos is having trouble accepting that it is becoming a college town. I had heard that when San Marcos was first developing, it was a retirement community and now the older population is slowly being replaced by much younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws it looks like the transition from retirement community to college town is going to be a rough one. It seems as though the City of San Marcos is trying its best to make sure this town isn't "overrun" by college students, which is start- ing to really get to me. Anyone who lives in San Marcos or goes to this school knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it. Many like me whose home is too far to obviously live there and still attend CSUSM. So then arises the question: where do we live? There are the dorms which can only house so many, but other than that college students have to live off campus in residential areas f ull of families, which is you ask me is terrifying to any adult. So we move into houses and apartments and within the month—especially where my roommates and I live—there are already complaints. We party too much, we're up too late, there are too many cars parked outside, we're too loud, it goes on an on. The question is how do we solve this problem? I don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one should, but we have no options but to live where we can, which happens to be next to families and older people. With many of the housing restrictions, it is hard to find places where you and a few roommates can live without bothering any neighbors. I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and yes, socially we can be at times, but we bring change. Whether it is a good change is hard to say right now, but this city will never know unless they give it a Chance. All I ask is that we are accepted with open arms and that this city can find a way to balance both its old ways and its new. A T ale Of TWO T ales want to be charged for a lesser Crime. But you lied under oath about taking steroids and you deserve to be punished for that. Face the facts, your defense might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give up. You fought the law and the law is about to win. And stars and athletes can tell you about this decade; it is not paying to break the law. As for Clemens, give up the act. At first I didn't want to voice an opinion against you. But there is evidence and testimony that state that you were lying under oath and you deserve to go under to be in the same seat as Bonds. But now there is a photo of Clemens at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 that he wasn't at according to his testimony. Not just that, there is also testimony by his former friend and trainer Brian McNamee that Clemens approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids. Just looking at the 2000 season of Clemens should be evidence enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit Mike Piazza in the head with a fastball. Then he knocked down Alex Rodriguez and argued about it afterwards. Then in the World Series, Piazza breaks his bat and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the benches as Piazza and Clemens exchanged finger pointing and words. All I am getting at is a clear history of a lack of anger management which is one of many side effects to using the juice. Clemens used it at some point in his life, if not for most of his later career. Now it is^pnly a matter of time before we have a new perjury and obstruction ofjustice case against Clemens. This makes Bonds and Clemens on the same boat of trying to cheat the system, being caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume who would win for the men, though it was no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be Blood' and rightly takes his second Best Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's performance in 'No Country' is the best this year. He became the first Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best Supporting Actor. Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best Animated Film. However, it really did not matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed winner for Best Picture, and did just that. This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best Director. Though there was little surprise in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It was also great reminder of movies I still need to see. I hope that those who won or just received nominations continue to bring quality entertainment. Saturday night with Levi Levi goes 'Across the Universe1 BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more. "Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present. The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically. The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary. The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations. Improving 'Oscar' nificance that viewers may not understand.

Thus, I have a few suggestions nations should not be ignored. Finally, F think there should be a failsafe to make the awards better: First, separating men and women in most system for the Oscars to give out awards occupations is a criminal offence.

Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont. The brewery sits in a valley in the Green Mountains which have peaks over 4,000 feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997. The brewery holds multiple awards for its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified the brewery as gluten-free. The cardboard container holds six lucid green glass bottles. Lime green dominates the majority of the packaging while a forest green accents "edges. A cute little marmota, similar to a squirrel, sits on a rock stuffing his fuzzy cheeks with a granny smith apple on a green plain underneath a light blue sky. The bottles contain the same graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. The cider pours smooth with no head. A thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale. It enters smooth and finishes powerfully, like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith apple infused cider really bites in the end, similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor on the tongue after passing through to the abyss and beyond. The light and unique flavoring of the cider should pair well with a light lunch e.g. club sandwich and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g. vanilla ice cream. Perhaps a treat for your significant other, loving family member, or a break from ordinary beers, experience the fruitfulness of Woodchuck Cider. unusual to get an order without sauce", You just got out of your late afternoon and I tell her class.

Approved by the CSU Board of Trustees for the 2008/2009 fiscal year, the cuts would force universities to t urn away more than 10,000 students statewide. The lack of funding would also force the system to once more increase student fees, lay off teachers, eliminate classes, and do away with many programs. Sprinter Light Rail launches this Sunday The entire CSU community has come together to fight for a common goal against the proposed budget cuts. Each of the 23 CSU campuses has launched a unified campaign that will begin in on March 3 at CSU Dominguez Hills. The following week, Mon. March 10, the second forum will take place at CSU San Marcos. CSUSM will hold its all-campus meeting on 1:00-2:00 p.m. in Arts 111. There will be media availability 30 minutes prior to each event. In hopes of "protecting the future of California" the cam- paign expects to prove the importance that CSU plays in the economy of California. Faculty, staff, and students alike will demonstrate that cuts to the CSU system would actually further damage the economy. To back up their See Budget, Page 2 Black History performers entertain during U-Hour Service to run along 78 freeway BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer A fter several delays, the Sprinter light rail service will launch this coming Sunday. Built along the Escondido track of the San Diego Northern Railroad, the new service will be the f irst along the. tracks s ince the JSante Fe Railroad stopped passenger service in the area in 1946. The 22-mile long track, along the 78 freeway, will go through the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, and includes stops near Palomar College and CSUSM. While the North County Transit District has discount passes available to students of Palomar and MiraCosta colleges, there is no such agreement for CSUSM students. Service from various locations starts between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Of particular interest to students: the last evening train westbound from CSUSM is at 7:41 p.m., while the last eastbound t rain departs at 9:16 p.m. Monthly passes are $54, or $2 for a day pass. With the current high price of gas, the Sprinter may help students save money.

C SUSM customer satisfaction results Survey responses show opinions of available facilities and services BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Earlier this semester, Finance and Administrative Services conducted an online customer service survey on various departments around the university. The survey asked various students, staff, and faculty about their level of satisfaction and netted interesting figures. Anyone interested viewing the results in full can visit www.csusm.edu/bsc/0708sat. htm. The figures from the academic 2007/2008 annual survey had a wide number of categories ranging from topics such as facilities, maintenance, university police, financial aid, housing, and parking services. The idea behind conducting Tuesday, Mar. 4 31 Women in 31 Days Forum Plaza the survey was to have different departments meet and identify areas for improvement around university services. Departments put together action plans that outline some overall performances and upcoming plans to improve certain areas as well. Some of the more interesting results came specifically from University Village Apartments (UVA) and University Police. From a study done with 331 participants, 55% answered "don't know" concerning campus crime prevention presentations. To go along with Crime Prevention Programs such as "Cougar Watch," University Police Department (UPD) has been producing videos which are available at the UPD website. A University Police and Liaison Program will also be implemented to provide additional avenues for communication with campus committees, students, staff, and police. The survey also determined that the UVA staff is invested and helpful toward the students there. Of the approximate 160 participants of the survey, 80.1% believe that they are doing exceptional services in addressing personal and social growth. 70.6% of those surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that resident advisors demonstrated an honest commitment to student welfare and activities. According to UVA Director Brian Dawson, "When you treat people like adults, you are given choices to act freely. Some people thrive on that and based off the customer survey, the majority feel that way." 7:30 p.m. ASi and UVA Texas Hold'em Tournament SSiliiiiÄllI Thursday, Mar. 6 12:00 p.m. a* Women's HERstory in San ö tego UCI hosts forum for graduate education BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer On Sat. April 5, University of California, Irvine will host the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education. There will be a bus departing from CSUSM to UCI available to students signedup to attend the event. Although the forum is f ree, the Career Center requires a [checks only] $20 deposit to reserve a spot on the bus. The bus will leave promptly at 7 a.m. and return at approximately 6:00 p.m. The forum is held twice yearly - once in Southern California, and once in Northern California. It is designed to provide students from underrepresented groups with the tools and information to help them apply and be accepted to graduate schools. Some benefits of attend- ing the forum include meeting representatives from over 100 of the nation's elite graduate schools and getting f ree access to the Princeton Review's online prep course for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). There are also many workshops designed to cater to specific areas of study, a few include: nursing, physical sciences and mathematics, and fine and performing arts. There will also be workshops designed to provide more general information about topics such as selecting and applying to graduate schools. Another important subject that will be covered is the issue of securing funding for graduate school.

With big name players such as M arian Hossa, Brad Richards, and Brian Campbell finding new homes, other big name players Olli J okinen and Mats Sundin stayed put, leaving questions for the o ff-season. 25 t rades later, it is t ime to discuss the t rades that went down and how t his can impact a t eam's f uture. L et's start with the Atlanta Thrashers who t raded Hossa and Pascal Dupuis for Erik Christensen, Colby Armstrong, prospect Angleo Esposito and 2008 d raft pick. Despite losing Hossa, the Thrashers added young talent that could bolster a talented f uture. The Pittsburgh Penguins on the other hand added help for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Hossa will now be able to play wingman to "Sid the K id" while raising the expectations for a long playoff r un. I am expecting them to be playing for the cup. The Dallas Stars were able to pick up Richards and Johan Holmqvist for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen, J eff Halpren and a 2009 first round d raft pick. The addition of Richards gives the Stars contending power against the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks. The Tampa Bay Lightning added an upgrade in goaltending with Smith, while adding t hree young players and two d raft picks. This gives the Lightning an opportunity to rebuild a struggling team that had star power but lacked depth and goaltending. The Philadelphia Flyers added Jarslov Modry on Feb. 19 and Vaclav Prospel on Feb. 25. Modry gives the Flyers depth on the blue line while Prospel gives the Flyers some much needed scoring power with the loss of Simon Gagne for the season and while waiting for J offery Lupul to r eturn f rom a high ankle sprain. The last winner f rom the t rade deadline was the Anaheim Ducks who once again didn't make a trade. They kept their core of players and traded for a role player. One reason for not making dramatic trades was that they have watched the r eturn of last years Conn Smyth winner (playoff MVP) Scott Niedermayer and more importantly the r eturn of Teemu Selanne who has sparked some much needed offense. The r eturn of Selanne and Niedermayer make the Ducks the team to beat once again. But not all teams were winners this year. The Florida Panthers were lucky enough to find a buyer wanting Ruslan Salei. But they failed to trade Jokinen. The next question for Florida is who is going to be leaving. Jokinen or will coach/general manger Jacques M artin, I believe both will be gone. And the bigger loser of the two was the Toronto Maple Leafs, who watched all five players with no trade clauses use them to stay with the team. In the end, they were only able to t rade for a few low d raft picks, instead of gaining a h andful of first round picks. A team that looked like they were going to be able to be the biggest sellers got shut down by poor negotiating of contracts. No team should give five players a no-movement or trade clause, let alone to that many players with expiring contracts in the same year. The playoffs are near and teams are finally set for the final 20 games of the season. The question is who will be the winner, who made the right decision at the deadline and who will be the 29 losers who didn't make the right decision. No matter what, the playoffs are coming and I for one can't wait. Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Blood, Sweat Tears, Gas BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer So, I just bartered my firstborn this morning in exchange for a tank of gas. Luckily, we've already discussed my feelings about children, so it was actually a win-win deal. The guy even threw in a Diet Coke. Kidding aside, not that I've been kidding so far, a lot of people complain about the cost of gas. But I'm not hearing a lot of these whining lame-cakes coming up with solutions. I have the answer though: We should go to war with a country that has oil and take theirs. Wait. That could backfire. Ok, I have a better solution. We genetically engineer more dinosaurs a la Jurassic Park. Once we're done teaching them tricks and studying them, bonding with our large new reptilian friends, we slaughter them mercilessly, and boom, more fossil fuel. No, I'm sure I can do better. We can just find ways to work without gas. I've heard a lot about these hybrid-electric vehicles. New plan: feral catelectric vehicles. People still aren't following that whole "spay and neuter your pets" thing. Answer to rising feral cat population problem? Teach them to pull cars. It'll be like running an Iditerod every day just to get to work or the grocery store. Since BST doesn't approve of whipping your sled cats though, I recommend that you train them to work on positive reinforcement. For every mile your 500 feral cats pull you, give them a bag of Skittles. Actually, I have a less messy idea. You could just carpool. Then you can split the gas cost between yourself and someone that you liked in the beginning but have slowly began to hate, a person whose inability to throw away empty pudding cups that somehow end up under your seat and snorting giggle you come to consider death-penalty worth offenses. Carpooling is delightful. You could just make sure you recycle your grocery store bags. In 60 years, if you recycle every single one, you'll have probably 50 mile worth of gas. Or better yet, just recycle all your beer bottles, and use the money to buy more Skittles for your feral cat mobile.

In game two, the Cougars had one of the more impressive pitching outings of the season f rom freshman, Brenna Sandberg, who gave u p only two hits, leading CSUSM to a 4 -0 win.

In particular, probiotic yogurt has taken the yogurt industry by storm, touting benefits of increased immunity, regulating digestion, and being a source of daily calcium. According to Lifeway Foods Incorporated, probiotics ("beneficial to life") are live cultures that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Pat Kendall, a food science and human nutrition specialist at Colorado State University Extension, has also defined these bacteria as probiotic because they survive through the stomach to the gastrointestinal tract. Once in the GI tract, they function as favorable bacteria to maintain a healthy relationship between the 200+ kinds of bacteria that inhabit the GI tract. Researchers have f ound _ anfa, § ll 0ÊSm WÊÊt substantial evidence denoting that there are several strains of essential "good-for-you" bacteria that have the ability to promote healthy gastrointestinal functions, increase immunity and help prevent the development of cancer-causing toxins throughout the body. Currently, there are several selections of probiotics to choose from which include dairy sources [yogurt and kefir (a yogurtesque, dairy beverage with roots in the Middle East)], capsule formulas, liquid formulas, powder or tablets, and fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Kefir beverages usually contain ten cultures including the following: Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus diacetylactis, Leuconostoc cremoris, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Saccharomyces florentinus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Conventional yogurts without additional probiotic supplement u su- ^mÈ^^ m ally contain Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus. Dannon's Activia yogurt has become quite popular and well known for its probiotic qualities. Activia is usually the introduction into the "culture" of probiotics. Student Michelle Bartolome is familiar with the probiotic yogurt from Activia and has tried Activia , noting that it tasted similar to conventional yogurt. Taylor Linkins, another student familiar with probiotics, commented that Activia tasted different from typical yogurt. Being a skeptical consumer is a natural response when bombarded with these amazing claims about yogurt. So what exactly makes probiotic yogurt so special? Most traditional yogurts on the market usually only contain one to two live and active bacterial cultures (usually Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Ifc, thermophilus).

Another point to address is the convenience of probiotic yogurt — one does not have to go about selecting probiotic supplements. Similarly, most probiotic yogurts promote healthy digestion and gastrointestinal functions with the addition of more bacteria cultures. Research is also being conducted to determine effectiveness of strengthened immunity and cancer prevention. So, how can one reap the benefits?

March is here, and that means this is the month that college students across the nation are in the spotlight with the all media eyes watching college basketball, spring breaks, relentless mid-terms and the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War, which significantly affects a great number of students and their families. This month, however, mtvU, MTV's Emmy award-winning college network, in conjunction with The Jed Foundation, which is the nation's foremost suicide prevention nonprofit organization, are heavily promoting mtvU's "Half of Us" campaign. According to the website, the " 'Half of Us' campaign derives its name from research showing that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function, and addresses the reality that suicide is the second leading killer of college students." Though the "Half of Us" campaign is not new, in light of recent events nationwide, "Half of Us" is sponsoring new programs this month that are focused on stress and other emotional effects that this March in particular could have on students. "March is a month when the nation celebrates college culture, and this year we aim to use the moment to spark a dialogue about the serious mental health issues going unaddressed on college campuses - claiming the lives of countless students each year," said Stephen Friedman, GM, mtvU. "Our special 'Half of Us' March programming is part of a year-round commitment to chipping away at the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, as well as connecting students to the necessary resources." The new programming offered at halfofus.com includes a feature special with Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, who speaks out on how his success caused memories of an abusive childhood to surface, and how accepting those issues and seeking help and available resources can help students. Also debuting on the website on March 17, will be a discussion for Iraqi War Student Veterans, in which student soldiers from coast to coast talk about life after the war, getting back into the routine of college life and how they are coping with the challenges it brings. For this discussion, there will also be an acclaimed expert on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who will offer advice to student soldiers and student veterans on what resources are available to them and how to get a hold of such resources. According to the press release for this month's programs, halfofus.com is also starting an mtvU and The Associated Press Mental Health Poll. The poll specifically aims to be "an in-depth look at the impact stress and depression are having on the national college audience—particularly at this pivotal point of the semester." The poll also hopes to supply a valuable look "into how the war, starting a career, campus safety, technology, substance abuse and other factors affect college students' stress levels and mental health today—and where they are, or are not, turning for help."

A new study led by C oBA Professor William Burns BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer In the Fall semester of2007, California and its residents experienced the tragedies, panic, and potential consequences of the wildfires that plagued the state for weeks. Since the events of the California wildfires and even as far back as the events of 9/11, there have been numerous studies on the reaction of humans to these types of events. Dr. William Burns, a professor in the College of Business Administration here at California State University San Marcos, now has the privilege of studying the effects of these types of disasters with the assistance of some prominent professionals and distinguished organizations. "It's a myth that people panic in disasters. Research simply doesn't support it," states Burns. But adverse effects are not limited to panic, and the reactions that victims of these events have is the main idea of this study. Assisting Dr. Burns is the team of psychologist, Paul Slovak of Decision Research, Adam Rose and Garrett Asaey, economists at USC. As Decision Analyst of this study, Burns says he wishes to "examine and better understand the connection between people's responses to disasters, including terrorism." The process of surveying and presenting different scenarios to a multitude of people on varying levels of categories (income, ethnicity, location, etc.) will help this team of educated individuals determine the responses that many people might have to various disastrous events. Various people are asked multiple questions about how traumatic events would effect their psyches, economic standing, and personal decisions. These findings will help set a procedure for how we evaluate the different effects of an incident. This can include not only a person's reaction, but also media coverage, responses of the masses, and proce- dures to help community leaders and the public. This study can vary depending on the surveys. Many factors will be taken into account when it comes to this study. Factors like location, the individual, dialect, and the type of disaster will all drastically influence the reaction of the media, government, and public support. Panic would not be the first response to disaster, according to Burns. During 9/11 as well as the California wildfires, the support of the public was orderly and helpful as opposed to hysteria. Burns also mentions that if we all looked back at the news coverage during 9/11, a majority of the people in the towers got out safely using the stair case, meaning that the task of evacuation could never have worked if there was a majority of people climbing over others and watching out for only themselves. When asked how this study came into fruition, Dr. Burns said that "It really has its origins back in 2003...but mostly inspired by 9/11, we understand a lot about how the public responds to technological disasters and things. We might be able to use our expertise to get a better understanding on how people by respond to larger, natural disasters, and especially terrorism." Funded by the National Science Foundation, this will be a three-year long study with an almost $750,000 budget. The process of writing up, presenting, and reviewing this proposal to this wellknown foundation is a competitive and very selective process. With the potential that a disaster can occur at anytime, the outcome of this study will also affect students. "College graduates in particular will find their way into leadership roles and have the responsibility to help communities pull together to face the disasters of the future because they will be,, more than likely, in leadership roles. And our study will speak to those, and help them better understand how to do that," said Burns. Considering a Career in Physical Therapy?

Photo courtesy Steve Jacob BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer the plot and the Directed by Wes Anderson, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a breath-taking, introspective film that follows three American brothers along a spiritual quest throughout India. Out of touch, and out of their minds, the Whitman brothers—portrayed by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman—set out on a journey of self-discovery to rekindle their brotherly bond while mourning the death of their father. Making their way through India on a train, specifically the Darjeeling Limited railway, their plan is quickly dissembled, as they encounter unexpected challenges and settings. Eventually they find themselves lost, stranded, and out of luck on a new and uncharted route. Toting eleven of their father's suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine, the Whitman brothers allow viewers to grow along with them as they experience each bump in the road and new scenario. According to The Onion's A.V. Club, it is theorized that there 16 films to which Anderson's style was most heavily influenced. Number 7 on the list is "The River." Anderson himself has mentioned that this film was the single greatest film influence on "The Darjeeling Limited." A1951 film directed by Jean Renoir and written by Rumer Godden is a dramatic romance about three teenage girls living in Bengal, India (all of English decent), coming of age and falling in love with the same man. In both films, this foreign country, India, is the core landscape for the fruition of It also becomes a place of healing ^fck | § ^^^^^^^^^^ DarjeelingLimited" * is not a romantic film in any sense of traditional ^ ^ ^ conventions, there is romance in the film between the characters and the scenery. There are also hints of romance threaded through the film as it ideally is a fully conceptualized after-thought to the previously released "Hotel Chavelier", which also starred Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman. As both "The River" and "The Darjeeling Limited" take their characters on a voyage through an unfamiliar land, both Renoir and Anderson recognize through their visual interpretations, that their stories veer more towards a location transforming the main characters than it is about interpreting the cultural identity of India for their audiences. That said, however, "The Darjeeling Limited" is all about Indian culture. It is the weird and wonderful things in India which the Whitman brothers encounter that change them and unite them. Along with the incredible acting on behalf of Brody, Schwartzman, and Wilson, together with the likes of Bill Murray and Angelica Houston, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a succulent DVD treat for any viewer or Wes Anderson fan, full of incredible actors, beautiful mis-en-scene, and a transcendental timeless story. this semester?

The dark brown glass bottle holds 22-fluid ounces of ale - a bit more than average. The labeling contains an image of a shadowy earth smiling down upon a turquoise tented moon surface. Psychedelic colors comprise the rest of the label. A black bottle cap with a shiny silver outline and the company's yellow logo of a smiley face caps the bottle with an alcohol by volume of 5.6%. It retails for $3.19 at BevMo. The ale pours thickly, creating a chunky and massive one inch thick head. A demonic black tenor fills the glass. The head resides for several moments before decreasing in size. However, a solid head remains for the duration of consumption. A distinct aroma arises from the evil mixture. Shockingly and disappointingly, the ale enters smooth and finishes mildly. The aromas and textures seemed to ensure a more Indiana Jones-like adventure. Instead, the ale's calmness projects Barney-like characteristics.

Uninformed viewers unfairly stereotype sci-fi films and television shows as "nerdy" or "geeky." This is not true, however, because not every "Star Trek" fan has abnormal acne, buckteeth, and a thick pair of glasses. If you desire to see what the buzz is all about, I have a few suggestions to expand your horizons. One does not have to be obsessive to enjoy these fine pieces of entertainment. A recent movie one could use to "cut their teeth" on is Danny Boyle's "Sunshine", released last year. Boyle who directed films such as "28 Days Later" and "Trainspotting," gives an impressive story about humankind on a mission to save the Earth. Years in the future, the sun is dying and a select crew is set to deliver a payload to reinvigorate it. Along the way, they receive a distress signal, which they answer and disaster ensues. It is an exciting and terrifying movie in space similar to "Alien" and "Event Horizon" and is well worth a watch. One does not have to worry about techno-babble that may turn people off, because as long as viewers pay attention, the movie explains everything. It is a story about testing humanity that just happens to take place in space. Along those lines, I am going to recommend a film that may make one shudder to consider. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is an extraordinary film with action and excitement. People stigmatized this film as a program for geeks, which is unfair. For some reason, "Star Wars" has escaped the majority of the criticism, yet these two films are on the same level. It is a clever and engrossing from the very beginning. Not only does it deserve to have everyone watch it, but also earns the right to have the vicious labels removed from it. I have limited experience with "Star Trek" but I was able to pick this up and enjoy its many fine qualities. Finally, I recommend the works from the mind of Joss Whedon: "Firefly," and the subsequent film "Serenity." "Firefly" is the story of ship and its crew that roam the galaxy looking to get by years after humankind branched out from Earth and a civil war erupted. This television show ran for one season on FOX, who cut it, not knowing what a goldmine they had on their hands. Fans still fight for the show to come back and were delighted when NBC/Universal offered a deal to Whedon and made "Serenity." This follows the same crew on its ventures, where Whedon mixes the right amount of humor and explosions. The structure of these works is similar to a Western set in space and is engrossing and addictive to even first time sci-fi goers. I sincerely hope people will give sci-fi another chance and examine its fine achievements. It can be just as exciting and entertaining as any other genre. Also, do not judge addicted sci-fi fans. People consider a football fan cool for knowing every statistic about every player on every team from every year, but sci-fi fans are "nerds" for knowing about what interests them. Other movies, like gangster or crime films have their own lingo — science fiction should have the same rights.

Female students were deemed "whores" while male students were called "whoremongers." Their "sermon" served more as a comedy hour while students gathered around to retort their outrageous and invalid claims. Brother Jed and his wife's harrowing remarks and messages of religious intolerance do not encourage substantial discussions — like the ones facilitated in our classrooms— but rather, a spectacle where hateful speech is met with angry replies. The pair distastefully provoked the crowd by using cheap and petty remarks to generate attention. Luckily, members of InterVarsity, CSUSM's Christian com- munity, serve as the antithesis to Brother Jed's intolerant and bigoted message. Last Tuesday, the group aimed to counteract the negative impression of Christians left by Brother Jed and Co. While individuals like Brother Jed and his wife come and go on our campus, InterVarsity's message of tolerance should serve as a constant reflection of our Christian community here at CSUSM.

A fter a long trip alone from Mississippi to Green Bay, Wisconsin, a teary eyed Brett Favre held a press conference letting the world know his career is over. So to celebrate the end of John Maddens love affair with Favre and the end of Favre's career, here are the top five Brett Favre accomplishments. 5. The Beginning The first game he played was in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. His first pass as a Falcon was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. A year later, Favre entered the game off the bench and saw his first completion in a Green Bay Packers uniform get deflected and completed by himself for a seven yard loss. 4. 253 Consecutive Regular Season Starts A fter replacing the injured Don Majkowski during the game in week three, Favre started week four and wouldn't relinquish the spot. Favre would become the all-time leader for consecutive games started by a quarterback and second all-time in the NFL behind defensive end Jim Marshall. This accomplishment can go down as one of the greatest records of all time in a position that is constantly being pounded by 300 plus lineman. 3. Passing Marino A fter throwing a 57-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings against the San Diego Chargers to tie Dan Marino's all time touchdown record. The following week, Favre rocketed pass Marino when he hit Jennings on a 16-yard slant pass. «He finishes his career with 442 touchdown passes. Similar to Barry Bonds holding the all time home run record until Alex Rodriquez passes him up. Favre seems to be holding this record and others until Peyton Manning (306) can pass him up. 2. In Memory of Irv Favre On December 21, 2003, Favre's father died of a heart attack while driving his truck. The next day on Monday Night Football, Favre would keep the Packers playoff hopes alive when he would play one of the best games of his career. Favre threw for 399 yards and f our touchdowns, in a 42-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders. They would get even more help the following week when the Arizona Cardinals would upset the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers would reach t he playoffs. 1. Super Bowl XXXI Favre would help lead the Packers pass the New England Patriots 35-21. On the second play of the game, Favre senses a blitz and calls for an audible and then hits Andre Rison for a 54-yard touchdown pass. Favre trailing for the first time saw strong safety Lawyer Miller covering Antonio Freeman at the line of scrimmage and Favre would .hit Freeman for an 81-yard touchdown pass. Then to end the half, Favre ran a bootleg left and place the ball over the goal line as he was headed out of bounds. Favre wouldn't walk away with the MVP as his teammate Desmond Howard set Super Bowl records with a 99-yard kickoff return and 244 total net yards. The NFL lost the last quarterback of a great generation of quarterbacks such as Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Dan Marino and John Elway. And Favre has a lot to look forward to in retirement like Young, Aikman, Marino and Elway have, including becoming a first ballot hall of famer.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Life BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer A lot of people say that I don't take things seriously enough. They say that I laugh at things that shouldn't cause laughter. They're right, and today was no exception. They found my uncle dead. But death cannot conquer the humor of my family. Why cry? It's natural to mourn, I know, but.. .he's not rotting in the ground. In my belief system, which you may or may not agree with, he's gone upstairs, where there's no cold or hunger and the party never ends. It's not the end. It's just a change of address. This got me thinking about a lot of things. Perhaps you think about them too. You think, "My backpack is too damn heavy." Or maybe, "I wish the weather would make up its mind." Something along the lines of, "I hope that jerk behind me in traffic dies a long, slow death," or maybe, "If my mom calls and yells one more time, I'm going to tell her where to stick i t" Life's too short, people, too short. I complain in this column because it can be funny, because people can relate. We all have the same worries and trials sometimes. But if we all lived a little more like my uncle, we'd all be a hell of a lot happier, and we'd h e having a party right here, right, now. Here are the tips he had for me, when I was smart enough to listen. 1. Do something you love everyday. He loved books, and probably read one everyday. That may be a little extreme, but so what? H | _ JJ1 He encouraged •BIB me in whatever ^ M B ^ ^ M r ^- / i I liked. So, put E F"' v H L j your homework t w% down and throw your cell phone out the window. Go do something that makes you happy. 2. Don't worry about a hair in your food. Hair is protein. I always took this to be a little deeper though. People die alone and starving every day. So, there's a single hair in your food. Who gives a crap? Refocus your priorities, before you end up a spoiled brat. 3. Love your neighbor. You know what? That doesn't mean your neighbor is going to be your best friend. You might not like his loud parties, big-haired wife, or vicious Chihuahua. But if you can do anything to help him, don't turn your back. And it really does come around. Always. 4. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do next week. My uncle procrastinated until the very end, and I hope that in some ways, I do too. If your options are to stay here and be a responsible citizen or run off the Bahamas for who knows how long, I hope you chose wisely. Never be ashamed to be the one crying at a funeral. But never be ashamed to not be crying at a funeral. I won't be crying. I 'll be wearing my dancing shoes, because that's what he would have wanted. oice W hat d o y ou t h i n k t he b est r esources a re o n c ampus f or n ew s tudents?

However, CNN reports that McCain expresses nothing but gratitude for the support. face serious financial pressures, and we are doing all we can to assist them," said Stanford University President John Hennessy in a written statement. Diversity and economic opportunity are priority in Stanford's announcement. "If we want to increase the benefit each student receives from the diversity of a school's student body, we need to find ways to pull different people together — not by forcing interaction, but by providing enough pull to balance the natural push for people with common backgrounds to congregate together,"said Stanford columnist Kai Stinchcombe. The average annual income of families in Stanford is $120,000, according to San Jose Mercury News. About one-third of the university's population comes from low- to middle-income families and will be eligible for the free tuition and board this upcoming year. Of course the trick here is being accepted, as Stanford is renowned for its degree of difficulty of accepting only the top-of-the-tier students. The news of the university's program also provides a message concerning the annual tuition increase here in the state. Over each of the past six years, there have been increases in tuition at California public schools, such as the CSU and UC schools. Last fall, fees at CSU schools rose about 10 percent and are expected to rise another 10 percent next year. From PRIMARY, page From TUITION, page 1 $10,808 to $11,182, totaling a 3.5 percent increase. Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are among the elite schools that have already provided free tuition. Stanford becomes the first major west-coast university to follow that trend. Economically this provides students an added value to attend Stanford over other west-coast schools, like USC or USD. Stanford is located in Palo Alto, California. According to the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, Palo Alto is the nation's most expensive college town, so the motive behind the break is economically driven to fit their needs.

Raising the roof at The Clarke THE New ASI leisure courses free to students BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer Some people go through his/her entire college career without realizing that there are some pretty cool perks that Cal State San Marcos offers on campus. One of those perks is the ASI Leisure Courses that are offered at the Clark Field House. These courses are free for any student that is currently attending our school and those who aren't current students only have to pay a small fee. There are a range of courses that are offered, and each one offers its own unique way of entertaining students while teaching them the basics of the course in a fun and helpful way. Some of the classes that are offered are Ashtanga Yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and even line-dancing. Many of the classes are upbeat and active, which require the students to physically participate during each class session. Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient discipline that helps strengthen the body and focus the mind. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches students the act of self-defense and also helps with relieving daily stress. The line-dancing course that is offered teaches students how to do dozens of line dances for a variety of music. Other classes, such as Pilates and Cooking Seminars, require a little less physical activity and are for students that don't always like to break a sweat. Pilates offers a chance to improve posture, balance, and create an overall healthier body. Cooking Seminars teach students to be able to cook fresh and exciting dishes that they will soon be able to cook in their own homes. Jaimie Schrader, a CSUSM student who works at the Clark Field House, said "the ASI Leisure Courses are a great thing that our school does for us. It gives students a chance to break away from their normally chaotic academic classes and take classes that are more fun and laid back for the average student." College life can be very hectic and some students might get a little overwhelmed at times, but if they have yoga or pilates classes to attend sometime during the day, it can help them relax and focus a lot more. Overall, the ASI Leisure Courses are a great way for students to take part in f un and helpful classes that are offered on campus. Even if you don't feel the need to take time out of your day for a relaxing or entertaining class, it is still an enjoyable way to learn new things that aren't usually taught in our every day academic classes. For more information and a schedule of the weekly ASI Leisure Courses, please see the weekly student calendar online.

Spring Break '07: CSUSM students enjoying time off from classes in Mexico BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer It's that time of the year again! The time when bikinis are in and backpacks are out. It's a time when college students around the nation flock to the beaches in hopes of forgetting everything they had to learn for that midterm the previous week. College Spring Break, originally made famous by MTV, usually has students letting go of all ambitions for a week of f un in the sun. Others use the time to make a difference, volunteering their time to serve the community. Whatever it is, it's not too late to make some last minute spring break plans. Another viable option, especially for the student population of Southern California is going south of the boarder for some spring break madness in Mexico. Stops Photo courtesy Alex Hand / The Pride along the coast in Baja, California (Rosarito and Ensenada) c M be perfect for that "not too pricey" spring break of a lifetime. The rumors are circulating about the current safety ofMexico, so let's just clear a few things up: Yes, there was a travel alert issued by the U.S. Department of State but it also was issued on Oct. 24, 2007.

While the decision to continue on to graduate school following a bachelor's degree is decreasingly becoming a luxury and more of a necessity in today's j ob market, alternative options are out there that may prove as more of a personally rewarding experience. Teaching English overseas is j ust one opportunity students out of college can experience. There are many programs established currently that train students with the skills necessary t o teach English in another country. Oxford Seminars is one example. Est a b lished in 1992, the program not only prepares students with an u p to date Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages/Foreign . Languages (TESOL/TEFL) training certification course, but also pledge stu dent placement within six months a fter completing certification with a Money Back Guarantee. The course is offered at college campuses all across the United States and Canada. On Tue. April 29, Oxford Seminars will hold an information session at the University of San Diego at 7 p.m. The closest campus to hold certification courses is currently the University of San Diego. For more information, visit http://www.oxfordseminars. com. The Pride contacted a recent graduate f rom Azusa Pacific University currently teaching English to children in China. "If someone would have told me about teaching English overseas I would have said ' No way,'" said Taylor Bartlett, who majored in Social Science [History and Government}. "But someone told me about the opportunity about three months before I would have to go and at that time, I didn't have anything really set u p so I thought I would give it a try." The intrinsic rewards are endless when given the o pportunity to teach others. Immersion into another country also gives teachers the chance to learn new lan- Tuesday Manh / / , 2008 guages arid appreciate other cultures and traditions. Oftentimes, American teachers travel together and live in the same or proximate locations. "Basically, I love my job. I teach 20 hours a week. I am doing so much over here that sometimes it feels like I am not even a teacher. In my spare time I like to * play sports with the students. I play soccer with them (although basketball is very popular because of Yao Ming) and I do play ping-pong. I am also teaching myself Chinese." Other countries offer TESOL positions as well. Oxford Seminars place students in Western and Eastern European countries including France, Germany, Russia and Greece. Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and T hailand are some examples in East/Southeast Asia. Latin American countries include Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico as well as others. While in the Middle East students have the opportunity to visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. "I get 5,000 RMB a month and f ree housing. This is a high paying j ob in China. The minimum wage in China is 600 R MB per month. If I really wanted to save money I could, but I am traveling around about once a month. I have been to many places in China, and during my winter holiday I went to Thailand to get some sunshine and ride an elephant!" Although some may worry that overseas work could be dangerous compared to work in the States, Bartlett assures that working in China is just as safe, if not safer, than the United States. "Protection here as an American Citizen is fine. I have never had a problem. China likes the US, well the business side of things. And in China it is illegal to have a gun, so there are no problems with that. The Chinese people like to keep to themselves. There are little crimes here and there, mostly petty theft. Someone stole my bike, but nothing serious." According to Oxford Seminars, there are oyer 20,000 teaching jobs available around the world monthly. "I would recommend teaching overseas to anyone and everyone. All of my friends continually tell me how lucky I am. You have the rest of your life to work. I think people should take a year for themselves," said Bartlett. "After college and into the big world is a big transition arid many people get stuck in a rut right away but I think that going overseas is a great experience to learn about yourself and who you want to be in the years to come."

For those of you who don't speak Latin, it's a device, usually divine, magical, or technological, which allows the character to solve an unsolvable problem. It's a cop out, an excuse for an improbable plot to shamble on when it should have had the decency to die. I'd write "spoiler alert," but there's really nothing to spoil. The main character's problems were solved, in sequence, by getting stuck in a net and getting his spear stuck in a rock. Then, obviously, he received help from carnivorous ostriches, a saber tooth tiger, a star, a blind albino-midget, a scar on "[his] woman's" hand, a mammoth, an old woman and some beans. No, really, it all makes sense. The beans grew into grass, which can apparently feed an entire tribe. I guess they were secretly made of lawnmowers. Really, it all fit into the prophecies.

Stein, Kevin Ott Wright, and CSUSM Softball competed in the Sun West Tournament at Chapman University on Saturday - a day that would see the first no-hitter by a Cougars pitcher in the history of the program. The Cougars faced Bethany University in game one of the month long round-robin tournament. CSUSM had perviously shutout Bethany in a doubleheader earlier in the season (10-0, 8-0), and the trends would carry over to Saturday's game. The Cougars shut out the Bruins yet again, by a score of 8-0. Freshman, Ashley Salvino struck out three in five innings pitched to log the first ever nohitter in the history of CSUSM softball's two year existence. Her run support came early as the Cougars scored two runs on three hits in the top of the first inning, one in the fourth and five in the f ifth to force the mercy rule. The Cougars carried the momentum into game two of the day, defeating the Northwest Christian Beacons handily, 9-0. Freshman, Marly Barth led off the second inning with a solo home run and struck again in the third to open the game up en route to the big win. The Cougars will continue their play in the Sun West tournament on Friday, March 21.

After closing her performance According to Lucas, "When I was brave enough to come out and say, "I am a child of a prisoner," I was overwhelmed by the number of people who came to me wanting to share their stories as they, too, were in similar situations." The massive amount ofresponses Lucas got from families of prisoners, as well as her own experiences, inspired her research. Lucas corresponded with over 400 prisoners and their families. It was through her identifying with the hardships of the families involved, that she created this play, to give a voice to those who are without a voice of their own and are suffering at the hands "of this prison society that we have all conspired to create," in Lucas' words. An endearing, laughable, heavily accented Texan; a single Hispanic mother whose husband is serving life; a African-American woman who fell in love with the wrong fix the societal problems that put people in prison rather than just throwing people away? Get off your butts and figure out what you can do to actually make some positive change." Lucas went on to say: "What does locking these people away accomplish? Eventually these people are put back on the streets with literally nothing, already ostracized from society. We claim to believe in rehabilitation, but all we are doing is just warehousing people for profit. We live in a prison society, where one in every hundred citizens is a prisoner, that's the largest prison population, per capita, than any other time in history, or any other place in the world."

I have cancer. I was released with no money, medication, no chemotherapy. .. I was placed in a homeless shelter, in the worst part of San Diego, where the streets and surrounding area are over run with crime and drugs. The system doesn't care about the prisoners or their needs. All they are interested in is the money they get per prisoner bed. Our only real hope is people like you [referring to Lucas], who really do care and help to ease the suffering." When asked about her feelings towards her own father's upcoming parole hearing Lucas responded. "In Texas, much like here in California, we make money off of prisons and prisoners. Politicians get elected by being tough on crime and prisoners. My father is getting older and with age comes a higher medical cost and the state ceasing to be able to profit from their labor. Higher cost and lower profits will hopefully make him a better candidate for parole, but we'll have to wait and see." "Here in California, the Prison Guards Union is one of the most powerful unions. They are known for employing lobbyist to push for their causes. While education along with everything else in the state is facing budget cuts at the hands of the Governor. The Prison Guards Union was given a 5% raise this year by the Governor himself," said Lawston. According to The Sentencing Project, an agency for "prison research and advocacy for reform", as of 2005, 2.2 million Americans were incarcerated. China ranks second, holding 1.5 million prisoners, although China has four times the population of the US. Wikipedia indicates in California alone, as of2006,170,000 prisoners occupy facilities designed for 83,000, with most facilities holding more than 200% of their design capacity. According to the US Department of Justice, "Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% re-sentenced to prison for a new crime." The numbers speak volumes for themselves. In the words ofFyodorDostoevsky, "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." Do you think we have a problem?

"It's a blessing to do something you love for a living. The whole thing kind of caught me off guard, but it's just been such an amazing experience/'1 Prettyman—-a San Diego native ^nd local surfing fiend—is home once more from extensive world** wide touring following the 20Q5 release of her debut album, "twentythree." Back home, Prettyman is gearing up for her soph« omore release on Virgin Records, "Hello...x" due out in stores in April, and preparing for the subsequent headlining tour. "For me, this record is definitely a collection. I am dramatic, constantly all over the place emotionally, always changing my mind and things like that, and I think all the songs represent those different parts of my personality. Together all of them, as a whole, represent everything. It's weird, each song is very diverse and different, but there's a constant flow between all of them that makes them connected."

Soft and surfy, the tracks off "Hello.. .x" are full-bodied and rich with the passion and delicacy that fills Prettyman's evolving style. "This record was definitely me stopping to take a break and decompress everything and sort through stuff—the feelings and emotions and put it into song," said Prettyman on the inspiration for the album.

If the answer is "yes " I am about to change that forever. This is because of the incredible story of Joe Denges, Justin Dike, Matt Hulet and Dusty Schiefelbein of the band, Hollowell. They've played together for eight years at bars, clubs and even churches up and down all of California. But within the last few years, they've embarked on a few journeys that most local bands never get a chance to experience - going overseas and touring for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having two overseas tours under their belts, Hollowell is about to head out on their third, but not before taking a short detour to the African country of Swaziland where they will help kids suffering from AIDS, as well as play music for and with them. Hollowell is an alternative rock band based out of the city of Orange, California. A fter the eight years they've been together, three of the original members still remain: Joe, Matt and Justin. Dusty, the newest member of the band, has been with them a little over two years now, and is, according to Joe, "exactly what we were missing." Their previous bassist was a good friend and amazing musician, but he had other avenues he desired to pursue which eventually led t o Dusty, the missing piece of the Hollowell puzzle. While Hollowell has released a few short EPs, it wasn't really until around 2006 that they actually began getting their music out there. First, with a 5-song worship EP, "All I Am" and just this year, a 5-song rock EP, "Are You m Waiting," which gave them much popularity and notoriety from various individuals, and organizations. Beginning on March 13, 2008, Hollowell will b e with a small group of people in the country of Swaziland, helping children suffering from AIDS. When asked what his main goal was in going to Swaziland, lead singer Joe Denges said: "We have a uni- « fied goal for Swaziland. We are trying to set the framework for a much bigger picture of bringing about a positive change in the nation and its people." Drummer Justin Dike says that in going to Swaziland, he hopes to " . . bring hope to a dying segment of my g eneration..." And if nothing else, "my main goal is to be able to just bring smiles to the faces of all the people in Swaziland..." says Dusty Schiefelbein, bassist. But before they come home, they will be playing music for these children and actually leaving their instruments for the children to learn to play - an mow courtesy nouoweu The members of Hollowell pose with military equipment while overseas example of true and caring artists. After returning home from Swaziland on March 23, the guys of Hollowell have less than two weeks before they will board another flight and head overseas to support the troops in Iraq and give them an escape through music. Asking these guys why they keep Playing for the troops is very important to Hollowell, and according to Joe, "Seeing how much they are touched and what it means to them when we go over there makes it more than worth the trip. They're our friends and family, too now." What a life changing event and what an incredible opportunity these mm young men have. Their support and love for the troops is an inspiration, not to mention the fact that it is "freaking f un" according to Justin. Listening to their brand new 5-song rock EP "Are You Waiting" it is easy to understand why they were nominated for "Best Live Electric Band" by the Orange County Music Awards Committee. "I think I'd freak out! [if we won]", Joe says, "It's been a trip for us because we got into the live competition by chance and we were happily going over to play for the troops, surprised to find out we made the Dusty really does speak for all finals." Their rock anthems and crowd of them when he says, "We love playing for our troops! They give favorites such as "Naked" and so much of themselves to fight for "Voodoo" have become favorites what they believe in and to protect on my playlist, as they should on the country we love so much! It is yours. Watching these guys play an honor for us to be able to enter- is a treat. Their presence on stage tain them." is so natural, like they were meant "We love playing for our troops! They give so much of themselves to fight for what they believe in and to protect the country we love so much!" -Dusty Schiefelbein- to play together. It has been a long and hard* road for each of them, but according to their growing international popularity and local fame, I think it it's safe to say that . it was all worth the wait for them. These guys are an incredible success story. No, they aren't on the radio or MTV, but they play all over OC. They have the best fan base, and they've been nominated for an OCMA. They've toured twice overseas in Iraq and are about to go for a third, not to mention their brief stay in Swaziland. So what do they say for those of us who wish to be musicians? Dusty : "Don't give up." Joe: "Don't leave it only up to your talent." And Justin: "Don't quit unless you are hurting someone else. And go to a Hollowell show." I wish them the best of luck as they make the world better with their music. If you would like to know more about Hollowell, please visit their website, www.HollowellMusic.com (currently under construction) or check them out at www.Myspace.com/Hollowell, which is where all the best information about them and their CD can be found. Hollowell's CD can also be purchased on iTunes; you should pick up a copy - and who knows? Maybe t hey'll change your life, too. �i tHDE BY JONATHAN E.

CheerSK BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the San Marcos Wal-Mart Plaza on Center Drive, off of Nordahl Road, is the Yogurt Factory/ This store takes a unique look into the world of frozen treats. Like many frozen yogurt stores, there are a variety of yogurt flavors and toppings, but there is something different about this store. Located in a small spot along the row of stores in the plaza, the store is very inviiing. Unlike most stores where customers pick a size of ice cream and pay per topping, this store's policy encourages creativity, because they pay per ounce rather than size. The process of getting frozen yogurt involves taste testing several flavors, then grabbing a cup and swirling in as many flavors one may desire. Following that, the wide variety of toppings, including sauces, fresh cut fruit, candy pieces, and even obscure options such as cheesecake crumbles or breakfast cereal, are all fair game. Because one is billed by weight, you have unlimited options as to how much yogurt or toppings you want. Possibilities range from a plain cup of frozen yogurt to a flavorful hodgepodge of different toppings. I cannot recommend this shop enough. The staff in sincerely friendly and the store is impeccably clean. As for the yogurt, I cannot find a finer frozen treat than their variety of sweet and fruity selections. Yogurt Factory is an original idea done t o perfection. Unlike other shops, which focus on frozen slabs or the color of plastic silverware, they emphasize the customer.

XIX NO. 9 Spring Fling halted early Night under the stars takes terrible turn ASI Elections coming soon BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer BY BILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer Sat. March 15—Spring Fling, the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut short after a guest in attendance jumped overboard. The dance, held on the San Diego Harbor Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego" yacht, began late due to a lack of cooperation from many guests in attendance. As the entrance room to board the boat crowded, secu? rity asked guests to separate in two lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests became restless the longer they had to wait. Visibly intoxicated students boarded the yacht, while one guest even vomited on several students. Once students settled on the yacht, they visited the casino tables or the dance floor. However, roughly forty-five minutes after the yacht departed, casino dealers closed their tables and security informed students the dance was over. None of the intended raffle prizes were distributed.'The yacht docked at least an hour and a half earlier, even though the original end-time for the event was 12 a.m. "I am ashamed of our school As Americans contemplate who will be the next leader of our nations, CSUSM students also must pick the new leader of the campus in the ASI elections. According to Student Life and Leadership, the department that facilitates the elections, students will again *be able to vote online. Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March 24-27. This year, all positions of the ASI Board are open. These include ASI President and CEO, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Marketing, Vice President of Finance, Student at Large Representative, and Representatives from the College of A rts and Science, College of Business and Administration, and College of Education.

"I could not believe they allowed people under 21 that were visibly drunk— couldn't even walk-^-on the boat. I even saw two people having sex in the middle of the poker room, next to. the dealer. The security guards came and I heard them say, 'This tìiing is over. Everybody needs to start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're going back to shore."' See Fling, Page 4 Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare Strieker provides related articles for students to read beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first article, "Arguments Mount for a National Healthcare System" by David R. Francis, discusses the health care system and the promises made by presidential hopefuls. The second article, "Coming Soon: Healthcare Debate, Fart 2" by Kevin Sack, discusses McCain's aim for tax credits for private insurance policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's aim for health insurance for children. "I expected most of the students to be interested in politics but to be relatively naive on the current healthcare issues facing the U.S," said Professor Photo by Adam Lowe / The Pride Barrett.

Safer Spring Break Week See Elections, Page 4 Dream Act forum BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISACC Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos Sociology professor Dr. Marisol ClarkIbanez knows a special second grader, and it breaks her heart. This student, she said, studies hard, is smart and will often challenge herself to study harder ~ the prototype student that often excels in her educational career. The circumstances, however, are against her. This second grader is among the millions across the country who are illegally brought to the United States by their parents— often becoming Americanized— only to grow up t o fund their opportunities are cut shod upon high school graduation. CSUSM migrant advocate group Esiritu de Nuestro Futuro (Spirit of our Future) held a forum March 13 to bring awareness to SB 160 or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a legislature that would grant undocumented students who continue on to college the opportunity to apply for legal U.S. residence. The legislation has been reintroduced into the ^ Senate See Forum, gage 4 �i tiE^PjugE E d i t o r i a l ; ¡|Hvms ¡HIB I ill T oria S V V AB Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not the easiest thing to get people to do. As diverse as the college camgus may be, we all speak the same language when it comes to our money. Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts personally affect them. Increased prices of parking permits will soon be the least of our worries. While the increased permit fees will go to use—in theory, the increase in tuition fees only serve to alleviate the cuts to the CSU system. According to Budget Options for student to get involved Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its revenue from State of California appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget Committee (UBC) is in charge of deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions. Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, University Advancement, and Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an 8.15% reduction from their fiscal year 2007-08 permanent revenue. As luck would have it, the state finalizes the proposed cuts during summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize a bill, similar situations rarely render results by the appointed deadline. If that is the case, we may not know for certain what the final budget is until early fall. The issue is not what is going on but whether anything can be done to change it. The overwhelming majority on campus agrees that this situation is awful. What does this all mean? What can I do about it? Where can I find out more? Visit www.allianceforthecsu. org and www.csusm.edu/plan/ budgetcentral for anything and everything you need to know. Candidates of the presidential primaries have sold promises of change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact, the answer—it has to begin at the grassroots. CSU may be the solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead of putting the issue on the back burner until fall (when it will be too late to contest it), students need to infiltrate in full force— volunteering, making phone calls, sending letters. .. .by any means necessary. ry W V v peti ars PrideComics ILL T pride@csusm.edu III H ä ^s By Amanda Andreen • By Nick Strizver ISlCNtfWOft > < 8:30 pm A ll opimom * a nd l etters t o Tnv^sJ« -f ù w ¿fa ACs\ *.•"> é i ¡¡Mil QT mm.

I can take no more. Your incompetence has haunted me since I was a small child, and today, we settle this once and for all. There was no higher treat as a tiny person than your own box of delicious and educational animal crackers. It was like an edible National Geographic special. They also contained significantly less false advertising than those frosted circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to the circus expecting to see pink-spotted deliciousness and instead got a bunch of depressed elephants.) After years of eating your product though, I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a problem to your attention. With every box I open, I should be able to start an entire zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic example from a box consumed on March 17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a hippo's hind end. To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels, a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR LESS THAN I DESERVE?!? In addition, I've had an extremely tough week. I understand that divine healing, funeral arrangements and hair straightening probably don't fall under your company's jurisdiction, but I really don't know how I'm expected to accomplish or support any of those things when all I have is one left side of a rhinoceros. Perhaps it isn't your fault as employees of the Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents that happen during shipping. But I beg you, please consider taking a more proactive approach. If these "accidents" all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your holding pens and the supermarkets of this country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if you put them in breathable crates, with each animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear leg of a donkey. Illustration by Amanda Andreen you re not i nt e n tionally trying to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to a company's attention. But now that you know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of this nation, never have to settle for headless lions again.

The next and final Pizza and Politics for this semester takes place on April 22, Earth Day, in Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing attendance. Therefore, attendees should arrive as early as possible. "Maybe I would like to see Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be interesting and effective with a few revisions," said Sophomore Social Science Major Gabriella Pruitt. Future topics for next semester include poverty and the economy, immigration, and the 2008 Presidential Election. ADP also plans to co-sponsor mock debates for students. "If you have a chance, you really should make it to one of these meetings. They are very informational, and it is not useless information. It is stuff about our lives. So at least attending one would be beneficial to each of us, I think," said Senior Literature and Writing Major Adam Lowe. Disappointed guests departed for their cars while many others waited for the Party Bus to return. "The Titanic was less of a disaster. It was basically pure insanity. Tons of drunk minors. Unsafe and irresponsible," said guest from CSUSB Tom Buck. "But it was amusing to watch." Attempts to identify the status of the individual who jumped overboard have not yet been confirmed.

This isn't the case with Sandra Doller, who last month read at the San Diego Museum of Art. As an accomplished author and poet, she is an assistant professor at CSUSM. In April, Professor Doller is reading at Chapman University and hosts a monthly reading series in San Diego. She is the editor of 1913 press and she sits down in an interview to discuss performing, writing, and the next president of the United States. The Pride: So, the first thing I want to ask is what are you currently reading? Sandra Doller: Mostly I an} spending my time reading student writing from my Advanced Creative Writing graduate class. Last week, we read Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's, which are actually letters to the fast food chain in the form of prose poems but actually build up to kind of a novel. Pride: How did you come to work on poetry? Doller: I didn't do creative writing as an undergrad. I was in theater and did performance art and playwriting which has connections to poetry and I see that now. I did cinema studies for my MFA at the University of Chicago, and t hat's when I really became interested in connections to early 20th century poetry and other art forms like painting and cinema. Pride: That's how art just seems to work out, isn't it? Doller: I think so. I was writing these performance pieces as an undergrad and I was j ust doing it on the side before I even took a creative writing class. I thought I was writing stories, but then someone told me they were prose poems. Pride: Do you have.a favorite poet right now? Doller: Fanny Howe. Anytime I can see Fanny read, I will go. I also enjoy Danzy Senna, who is also a really Tuesday 3/18 -af^e^lmance wonder novelist. Pride: What can you tell people about 19131 * Doller: I founded 1913 while I was a grad student doing my MFA at University of Iowa writers' workshop. I got into my head and thought, hey, wouldn't it be great t o have a journal that publishes contemporary poetry, fiction and non-fiction essays * and visual art. Pride: (flipping through the book) There's a lot of "visual poem" type of art. Doller: Exactly, and that's something that I'm really interested in. I applied for a grant in Iowa and that's how I was able to do this. And since then, it has been a labor of love that can be a great resource for students and something that I'm interested in sharing with CSUSM students and bring them to get involved with the editing and layout and all the things that go into making a magazine. Pride: Do students have the opportunity to work with you and 1913 at this time? Doller: Absolutely. I have a list and I'm constantly collecting names of students who are interested in participating. A couple of students, who I 'll call volunteer interns, went with me to, San Diego City College in October for a book fair there and we had a table and sold a few copies. The point is to get literature and art out into the world and I'm definitely interested in getting students on that. Pride: Now, you already have one book out, Oriflamme. I hear you've also got one on the way? Doller: I do, and it's called Chora. It'p a book of poems mostly and nonfiction prose poems and things that cross genres. That should be coming out soon. Pride: Last month, you read at San Diego Museum of Art. Tell me, what it was like reading not only in front of other artists, but also a number of your students as well? Doller: (laughing) I liked that part of it actually and felt more comfortable because I see the students more often that I see anybody else! I was really glad that Cal State students got to see the event and got to see Fanny read as well. I thought I'd be more nervous having students there, but it felt really friendly. * Pride: So, as kind of a break Reception m Freedom Marry A cryfc^t'QahvaaB(s^|^||^/ement gjlp^^ nfc*htohlv.Ftee W ednesday3/i9 refreshments • 7 Ä a . m , Craven Circle » . 1 1p¡¡¡J' | § , 3 :00-f:CPp.rri.

Of special note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is not exclusive to students, but is open to the community as well. Extended Learning features many educational courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education studies, and ",workshops." In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in San Diego's North County. Leadership North County begins every year in September and carries through June. Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008. Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership North County appeals to those who might have more experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are valuable assets to students and community members who want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders. Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit, noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large— there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices varying course by course. These online courses encom- pass many areas including business, education, finance, healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment, service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit, noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing education option is a useful feature of the eLearning Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within their career field. The eLearning Center is a great resource to fulfill those requirements and provides of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The Online Certificate Program is available year-round. Open University is another program from Extended Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students. Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open University provides the means to take CSUSM credit courses without being admitted to the university and the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit.

M&M brand capitalizes on seductive myth BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Pledging to help the earth and the economy BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer In the U.S. and in many areas of the world consumerism has become one of the main topics discussed. As people become more environmentally aware they also become aware of solutions to growing environmental problems such as waste and pollution. Many of which can be linked to consumerism. But what may be "desirable" economically may not be "desirable" environmentally. In a study held by the U.N., known as the Human Development Report, it was said that "Today's consumption is undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change — not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not shifting from polluting to cleaner and production technolgies, not promoting goods that empower poor producers, not shifting priority from consumption for conspicuous display to meeting basic needs — today's problems of consumption and human development will worsen." The study also reveals that the U.S. and Illustration by Nick Strizver Europe alone spend billions of dollars on products, many of which we do not need. According to the study, U.S. Citizens have spent nearly eight billion dollars on cosmetics alone and Europe has spent nearly 11 billion dollars on Ice Cream. Anup Shah, a writer for globalissues.org, said, "Because consumption is so .central to many economies, and even to the current forms of globalization, its effects therefore are also seen around the world. How we consume, and for what purposes drives how we extract resources, create products and produce pollution and waste. Issues relating to consumption hence also affect environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that is nearing levels similar to the "official" global poverty levels." One solution for the growing amount of consumption is known as "The Compact." "The Compact" is a growing movement. Those involved pledge to not buy anything new for a year. This means no new clothes, new cars, new anything. Only the bare essentials like food and water can be "new." People who take the pledge try to find used products either online or in local t hrift shops. Kara McGuire, a reporter for The Star Tribune said, "The Compact, started by a group of San Francisco friends as a rebellion against what they see as gluttonous consumerism and its thoughtless destruction of the environment, turn the notion of consumerism on its head." So what exactly is involved in becoming part of The Compact? Those who wish to be part of The Compact don't have to sign any papers or join any online group, although one could if one wanted to, but all a member would have to do is pledge to themselves that they will not buy anything* new for a year and resist the lure of consumerism. Members must not buy anything new other than the exceptions of medicine, underwear, cleaning products, and no limits on food. One of the founders John P e r t y said, "We never meant to start a movement." From just a few friends discussing a better way to live came a movement that now involves more than 8,700 members of online user groups today, according to Star Tribune and TreeHugger.com. There are 50 user groups on yahoo from Thailand to Australia and other sites such as feedthepig.org that also help people budget better and learn how to better spend money in areas where it is needed. Sites like TreeHugger.com have many suggestions as to how to be more environmentally aware as well as how one can help the environment personally. "What is it about the Green ones?" Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, there is still the opportunity to feel as though you're sitting on cloud nine.. .allegedly. According to varying rumors spread through word of mouth as well as the Internet, it is believed that green M&M's will increase sexual drive. Mars Company owner of the M&M's brand, has gladly capitalized on the allegation. Although there is question as to where the rumor came about, there is no question about a Mars Co.'s campaign m ad to support this J | j apparent myth. , J flj With the increased ¿ f£|ji sales of these par¿F ticularly colored ¿Maw candies here oncampus as well as other stores, popularity for -the new romantic color has increased. But what makes the green M&M's the color of romance? Quotirig the delicious package of green M&M's that this reporter just finished eating: "What is it about the green ones?" One would think that red would be more likely color to represent romance as opposed to an earthy color like green. With an important notice on the back of every package of green M&M's, Mars Co. has warned that "consumption of The Green Ones® may' result in elevated Romance Levels." Along with the "warning," the green M&M's sexualized message is backed by the only female M&M in the bunch.. .yes, the Green one. Even though the green color is said to make one feel like they're in lqve, in actuality, all the colors have the properties to help you feel the warm & fuzzies. The color isn't the culprit—it is ^ the chocolate. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, which is known to increase sexual desire. The word "aphrodisiac" is derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love and lust). But even though every color of these delicious candies has the properties to help increase that libido, the point is that myths like these are f un and refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then again, there is no one out there saying that they do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand." �Cougar Baseball devours La Sierra See full story on page 9 Photos by Tim Moore Pitcher Chris Skaaien works his way to a winning outing in game one of the Sunday doubleheader Cougars first baseman Jackson Chapelone attempts to pick off a La Sierra runner. ••aiiiiiiiiiiiaI•••••••••••••• Flag Football ends with a bang Two players from the SAE Raiders go up for an interception in the Championship game of ASI Flag Football season.

On May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in the Diploma Dash. Students and runners can register online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is $35 the day of the race. According to the Athletic department, all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early morning race, the department set the race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and accommodate student's study time. This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per age group, and post race festivities to meet student-athletes and coaches. After a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end of the school year and the graduates.

You'll see Vanderbilt get hot from the outside and beat Kansas while Wisconsin does the same and takes care of Georgetown. On the other side of the bracket we will watch Pittsburgh play a physical game with Memphis and take it in the final seconds while Texas finds a way to control the Lopez twins and sneak by Stanford. The West region will see UCLA pounce on Connecticut and then Duke walking over Baylor. Then in the elite eight, Tennessee will find a way to control the overrated Tyler Hansbrough to advance to face Wisconsin who will continue to find ways to control the tempo of the game. While Texas will take care of business in the South region and UCLA will find a way to reach the Final Four for the third year in a row. The Championship game will then be a match up between UCLA and Tennessee, which was is what I believed from preseason. UCLA will control the game and beat Tennessee 71-65 and finally give coach, Ben Holland, what he and his players have been working so hard for.

Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the rule concerning the prohibiting of spectacular events when she put a car accident in this movie. However, this incident is crucial to the film and is the moment that shakes the viewer. Lead character, Joachim, j ust proposed to his girlfriend and is prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car strikes him. Though the audience sees it coming, a wonderful movie, but the car crash that links the events is spectacularly raw. It opens following Gael Garcia Bernal's character as he is trying to get his dog to the hospital. For the sake of not spoiling the film, I will not reveal more. However, the coming crash jolts viewers. It comes come out of nowhere and can cause those watching to shout "Oi! " because it is so vicious. It is p ainful to watch, but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of what a car crash should be like. The next a rtful car crash comes from the Danish film "Elsker dig for evigt, which translates to " Open BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer R ecently in films, there is a loss of skills when it comes to p ortraying a car crash. No longer do filmmakers use this device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve expensive vehicles slamming into each other in ways that create a disproportionate amount of flames and explosives, such as in " XXX" and "The Fast and the Furious." There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created exciting chases. Nowadays, cars simply slam into each other and blow up or have giant robots run right through them. Even a movie titled "Crash" did not have exciting car accidents. Based on a number of movies and their accidents, foreign filmmakers are superior in this skill. The first example comes from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film "Amores Perros." The story is broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

So they bought a recreational vehicle, maxed out their credit cards, started traveling and talking to people. The outcome is Road Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going strong, RTN representatives found their way to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New Zealand road trip. "We often find even the most successful people don't know what they want from life. Going on these trips and talking to people you realize very quickly, you are not alone.

Think being out on the open road is what you need to help you figure it all out? Is there anyone out there in the world you want to talk to - someone who has inspired you that you would like to meet? RTN provides the chance to do just that. Through one of their RV road trips with a group, or an "indie trip" with a few friends, RTN is here to help get you out there. Kelli Taylor, another member of RTN, explains "The more you think you know the less sure about it all you may be. RTN is about having genuine experiences in the world and sharing them." More information, applications and FAQs for various trips and grants are available through RoadTripNation.com.

With his sophomore album Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people were curious if it would live up to the enormous hype. Others wondered if he could even create another record to top his massive smash hit "Hustlin"' which was released back in 2006. Although I believe that no track on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes hear "Hustlin"' on the radio, it does not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his "A" game this time around. With his deep bass voice combined with even deeper and tremendous beats, this is an album you buy so you can ride around in your car and bump your sub-woofers to their mass potential. Throughout Trilla, some songs will probably not stick out a whole lot the first couple of times you listen to them. Others will immediately catch your ears and hook you in as new favorites. Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin My City," and "The Bos?" are ones that will most likely be loved from the moment you hear the first beat. Another great thing that Rick Ross has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco, Trick Daddy, and more. Although all of these artists have amazing tracks on this album, the most memorable collaboration on Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper LiP Wayne.

From what I saw while eating there, it is the perfect type of restaurant for everyone. It is a great place to bring the family, fancy enough to bring a date, and hip enough for young adults to mingle at the bar. From the moment you step foot into Poseidon, you notice the chic bar and eating tables that surround you. One option of dining is to have your party eat around a huge stone fire pit in the middle of the table. The environment was very impressive and it gave the impression that you were eating at a very expensive five star restaurant. Although most meals were a little expensive, it was well worth the price. Entrees ranged from delicious seafood to many different variations of succulent chicken and pork chops. When dining you have the choices of eating inside, at the bar, or outside. One of the great perks about eating outside is the fact that you are literally feet away from the beautiful shores of the Del Mar beaches. This is especially nice if you are eating during the sunset because it is truly a great way to spend a meal. The nice thing about the inside is that it is a lot warmer and the atmosphere is very nice. The bar is a great way to spend the evening drinking with your friends and even meeting new ones. No matter where you sit, the service is excellent and the food is even better. Top your dinner off with one of their signature desserts and you will have had a perfect dinner experience that you will never forget. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

T he p eople in t he music industry could c larify t his by labeling m odern music of t his n ature as " country p op." One d ifference I find between the two eras.of country music is the popularization of t he new breed.

If this were not t rue, there would not be an entire television station devoted to c ountry music, and in f act, there are two. T his changeover, with singers such as Shania Twain, is an i nformal selling out. A nother reason f or t his clarification is the ability for lyrics t o be change into other genres. Carrie Underwood's t une "Before He C heats" could j ust as easily become a p op or R&B song. On the other hand, Cash's " Ring of F ire" and Daniel's " The Devil Went Down to Georgia" do not sound right p erformed any other way, such as in Guitar Hero III. Yet most songs by groups such as the Dixie Chicks or Rascal Flatts have a popularized lyrics and tempos: t he n ail in t he c offin f or t his involved e xamination of another g enre.

However, repeat offenses could bring up to $1000 infines,and may include up to a six-month jail sentence. The ban covers beaches up to the Del Mar city limits, leaving residents of North County in the middle of a checkerboard of beaches covered by alcohol laws.

However, when the city clerk's office randomly sampled 3% of the peti* tion, they found only 680 of 1,367 signatures to be valid. As a result, the petition was declared to haye an insufficient number of signatures. The question remains over whether random sampling is fair. However, it is more economical. According to a press release from the city clerk's office, "The cost of a signature-by-signature verification of the petition has been estimated at $70,000 - $147,000. Therefore, any person who desires to challenge the determination of insufficiency by random sampling method must post.. .a certified check for $70,000 to initially cover that cost."

"While spring offers a f un and enjoyable week away from school, college students need to be aware of safe and responsible activities " said Tracey Armold. "Just because we have the capability to drink alcohol, doesn't actually make us adults, it's how we conduct ourselves and how we are held accountable as well." For years, spring break has been notorious for its high levels of excess drinking and sexuality. However, recent studies have shown a change in trends. A Nielsen Media study shows 84% of college students drank responsibly and 90% think providing community service projects to college students is a good way to spend their spring break. Some of the more infamous destinations for student retreats include Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Rosarito, and Cabo San Lucas. From GAS, page 1 sees sharp gas price increases as summertime approaches. People o ften travel more during the summer as they vacation across the nation. The increased demand lowers the available supply, thus in6reasing the cost of gas. Gas prices are an u nfortunate p art of CSUSM. CSUSM currently holds the label as a commuter school. Most Cougars commute to campus. This inherent phenomenon is evident in the parking lots. Increasing gas prices are not enough to thwart o ff an education, therefore forcing students to shell out the extra bucks at the pump. Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan seemed to have a lot to say when asked about his opinion on gas prices. "Soon gas prices will be higher than the Empire State Building. It's so expensive I will have to mortgage my house j ust to buy another gallon. I t hink I will have to invest in a bicycle to ride everywhere. If Gandhi were alive, he would agree with me, gas is too expensive. Gas already costs an arm Sarj Marcos Over the past weekend, police arrested three young men in Daytona Beach, Florida for detonating an explosion at local hotel terrace. The blast mildly injured a nearby family, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. On March 15, authorities halted the Spring Fling event hosted by Associated Students Incorporated abruptly due to rambunctious activities by many. of attendees. Reports onboard the San Diego yacht of underage drinking and detrimental behavior by a number of underage students surfaced and forced the event back to shore. Locally, San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre specifically addressed students and warned them of the alcohol ban on all San Diego beaches. "San Diego city beaches are now alcohol free," Aguirre said in a letter sent out to 20 nearby universities in California, Arizona, and Colorado. "Violating this law can put a real damper on your entire spring break." First time offenders could be fined up to $250 and repeat offenders as much as $1000. and a leg, what body p art comes next," McClellan said. The trend seems to show no mercy. Gas prices have been increasing for years, granted there are few decreases along the way. Unfortunately, these decreases are minuscule and short lived. Make preparations now and plan for $4 per gallon of gas this summer.

One of the most notable and skilled unconventional artists is Phil Hansen. Though his works reflect the same skill as most drawings and sculptures, Hansen uses several unique tactics to create his art. In one of his works, "Influence," he only uses paint and his own body as a canvas. However, he has also used pinecones, other parts of nature, a blowtorch, and his own hands and feet as paintbrushes. "Influence" is a video of Hansen painting thirty pictures on his own stomach—most of which are of people that influenced him. Not only is being able to point on one's own chest a skill, he does it thirty times and with incredible skill. Hansen paints each picture A video of inspiration over the one before it. He reveals his clever thought process in the end when he peels the entire work off and cuts it into two faces opposite each other. The skill of his work comes from the material he chooses to use and/or how he makes it. There are instances where his piece is made of eggs, Starbuck's cups, or matches, in which he cannot create an outline, and most times, he does not have the final picture before him. The project wraps around him and he can imagine the entire work in his mind without physically seeing it. There is more to his work than just "Influence." He has created over a dozen works of art, most of which become destroyed in the process and only exist in online videos. His videos are on YouTube, but his main website is www.philinthecircle.com, where viewers can watch the production, completion, and destruction of his art. Photo courtesy philinthecircle.com 0 - Team's Spoon Wars BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Has anyone else seen random students around campus carrying bright green spoons in their hands? It's more than likely that the answer is yes, so this brings about the question of why? Why are students carrying around bright green Kermit spoons, to be exact? Well, it looks like the answer can be found at Student Life and Leadership, where many campus inquiries can be answered. For its second year, the Orientation Team from Student Life and Leadership—also known as the O-Team—is in the middle of a war: a spoon war. What initially began as a way for the O-Team to grow and learn about one another, has quickly evolved into a new tradition here at CSUSM that is integrated within the entire campus community. Implemented by Jennie Goldman, the director of New Student Programs, and O-Team Director John Hall, this new tradition is an adaptation of the game "Assassins." "Each person on O-Team was given a bright green Kermit plastic spoon," said O-Team member Angela Ortiz. "We are to carry the spoons everywhere. They need to be in our hand and if we let go of the spoon, it must be able to fall." Throughout the war, each participant has an assigned "target" they are watching. If they catch their target without their spoon, their target is out—or technically speaking, "spooned," by their hunter, and then the target's target becomes the hunter's new target. Everyone on the O-Team is a hunter and a target during the spoon war. "We cannot tag a person while they are working or if there is a presentation going on during one of our O-team meetings. Other than that, you can tag a person anytime, anywhere," said Stepha- eventually become the foundation for Seeqpod.

BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Beware of the spoon nie Michaels of the O-Team. "This is a team building exercise that teaches you to keep your friends close, and your spoons even closer," said O-Team member Kevin Chatham. "The spoon war can last for a really long time or a really short time," said Ortiz. "This game can go on for months..." said Hall. Last year Ortiz got spooned at home by her own sister who was also on the O-Team only an hour after the war started, and Michaels lost at last year's Spring Fling while dancing without holding her spoon. "I wanted a truce so I didn't have to dance with my spoon but my friends wouldn't do it," said Michaels. Chatham, commenting last year's war said, ""I can't believe I got out! I thought she was just giving me a hug but she spooned me!" "Ifyou see someone holding a plastic green spoon, then you know who O-Team is and you know the Spoon War is on. The Spoon War is all about bonding with your target," said Ortiz. "You get to know where they hang out, whether it's the library, C3, SLL or in some random classroom. You try to scope out who others have, and attempt to build alliances. No one is safe, not at any Spring Fling dance, lunch outing, O-Team meeting or before class." "The spoon wars are a great way for our organization to 1oe visible, have fun, and further build community in our organization," added Hall. "Whether in orientations or in the classroom, O-Team will be there to show school spirit, even if it means holding a little green spoon with the image of Kermit the Frog all over it," said Ortiz.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer In a world briefing released by the New York Times on Feb. 28, the Associated Press announced that South A frica's government said it would end a 13-year mor• atorium on killing elephants beginning in May to reduce the overgrown population of South A frican elephants in hopes of protecting the ecosystem and impacted wildlife parks. The brief stated that at the t urn of the 20th century, there were only 200 elephants in South A frica. Now, there are between 18 and 20 thousand, according to varying sources. A 11 s ources a gree though, that the number of elephants currently in South A frica is expected to double by the year 2020—merely 12 years f rom now. Interestingly enough, there is another population of elephants that is undergoing population problems. However, t his p opulation's problem i sn't overgrowth, it is extinction. 5,853 miles across the Indian Ocean, in Laos, once heralded for i t's numerous herds and once dubbed the "Land of a million elephants," only has what is believed to be 700 Asian elephants l eft in the wild. In a c ountry lush with forest and vegetation, i t's a harsh % contrast f rom the scene in South A frica where n atural vegetation is t aking a b eating f eeding the some 20,000 .elephants there, that can each eat 5% of t heir weight a day. According to the World Wide Fund for N ature, it is estimated that there are only 25,000 wild Asian elephant^ l eft and 15,0.00 captive Asian elephants. A hundred years ago however, Thailand is thought to have had upwards of 100,000 Asian elephants. So why are there so few Asian elephants l eft in Laos? T hanks to f armers, p oachers, loggers, and dam builders (who all use elephants as t heir labor), i t's becoming harder for the endangered elephants to survive the t hreats and demands of man. Naturally, the f irst thought one might have is to j ust ship some—or in t his case thousands—of the South A frican elephants to the lush and under-populated Laos. However, the two species of elephants are vastly d ifferent. And now, t hrough DNA test- 1 H ü ing, it is believed that there is a ctually a t hird species of elephant. The t hird species comes j ust f rom the distinction b etween the A frican forest elephants and the A frican s avanna elephants. The A frican forest elephant is slightly smaller t han the more o ften seen Savanna elephant (Loxodonta A fricana), which is the species most commonly seen by the world in zoos, s afarigoers, and tourists to A frica.

The Associated Press conducted a five-month long investigation that revealed pharmaceutical drugs in the drinking water supplies of 24 large metropolitan areas. Trace concentrations ofiheart medicine, infection fighters, estrogen hormones, anti-convulsarits, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers were found in areas including southern California, New Jersey, [Michigan, and Kentucky. Similar drugs were found in upstate New York and in Philadelphia, other medicines such as asthma, high cholesterol, and epilepsy were found. In southern California, anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were revealed in treated drinking water that 18.5 million people consume. The article reports that over the past couple of years, Americans' intake of prescription and nonprescription drugs has increased. The i contamination of water could conceivably be traced back to metabolized use (drugs do not just "stay" in our bodies and are "flushed out" and back into the water supply) or simply unused by humans. Additionally, there is the issue of contaminants, such pesticides and lead that have been focused on and regulated because higher concentrations presented a clear health risk. In regards to pharmaceutical drugs, some officials note that human safety may not be jeopardized because of studies done with larger amounts of trace concentrations and lab animals. Other officials are concerned because humans consume water every day consistently and in respectable amounts. Another point of view on the subject is that pharmaceuticals, contrasting to other contaminants, are designed for the humans. With a compounding consumption, these trace amounts could especially affect and be more devastating to those more in more sensitive conditions—the elderly, pregnant women, and significantly ill people. Currently, the federal government does not have any required testing for cle mentions that some studies have found trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe. There are also documented health issues with wildlife that are being further investigated. It is also important to address that based on what the pharmaceutical industry knows, they justify that there is little effect on human health by these trace contaminants. While this is important news, the AP did not conduct a comprehensive, scientific study to examine the full effects of this on humans, so these discoveries cannot conclude a specific causeand-effect relationship on humans. Many scientists emphasize that research is limited on this subject matter and a lot of information is unknown.

The AP article also notes that some water providers that do screen for drugs only screen for a small number, which overlooks the prospects of other drugs. Another concern is the addition of chlorine in water can exacerbate the toxicity of drugs. Furthermore, another matter is bottled water and home filtration systems, which do not remove these impurities. Bottled water is often the same tap water repackaged and is not treated for pharmaceutical contamination. The article also explains that the only known technology to remove pharmaceutical contaminants is reverse osmosis, but the drawbacks of this procedure is its expense for mass production and it also produces large amounts of contaminated water for every small amount that is clean of pollutants. So, unless a home filiation system specifically features a reverse osmosis capability, the water may still contain harmful pharmaceutical pollutants. This problem is not just contained to the United States either—the AP arti- Help i s n eeded Your Turn. : Camp Sommer Jobs < l l ^ ^ ' l ^ ; ; ' ! .

Though there is still much debaté and controversy over the subject, with many people of all levels on involvement on both sides, n othing has been f irmly decided f or the f ate of 14,000 elephants. At the moment, there are numerous organizations working hard in both countries to protect both the elephants and the ecosystems, but there is^still no plan or quick-fix options in place for either Laos or South A frica.

Playing against an extremely talented #2 Azusa Pacific team, the Cougars surged late but could not complete the comeback. Azusa Pacific started strong scoring six runs in the first two innings, knocking out SP Steve Triolo after just 1 1/3 IP. Down 6-0, the Cougars got on the board as 3b Austin Coleman hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 2nd, and would tack on two more in the third to be down 7-4. In the bottom of the 7th, DH Austin Way hit his second home run of the game to start the comeback, but Azusa Pacific would come right back with three runs in the top of the 8th to put them up 11-6. The game would end 11-8 in a victory for Azusa Pacific University. CSUSM does not have a football team, but by looking at the score of the second game of the week for the Cougars, some may make think otherwise. Scoring at least one run in every inning, the Cougars beat Principia 24-3 in complete domination. Principia lead the game off with two runs to take the lead. The Cougars blew the game open in the bottom of the 2nd, lead by a grand slam by 3b Coleman. Scoring eight runs in the 2nd, the Cougars were up 10-2 already. SP Chris Skaalen would pick up his second win of the year going 4 innings giving up two earned runs on four hits while striking out four. In the bottom of the fourth, Way continued his hot streak with a grand slam which was the second of the game for the Cougars. The Cougars' record improves to 11-14-1 on the season. The Cougars travel t o Point Loma today, before playing host to Bethany University this weekend.

ELáfis i t M M i Photo by Tim Moore / The Pride perfect internet streaming BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In this vast world of technological advancement, the live streaming of sporting events is a task not to be taken lightly. It is an undertaking that requires mass amounts of bandwidth and a dedicated repair staff. Rarely is the art of making sports available to the masses done right. NCAA.com, in association with CBS has done it right. Throughout the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, NCAA.com is streaming games live and 100% free. The concept is great, and the execution is even better. The service caters primarily to those in professional environments, locked away from access to a television during one of the best times on the snorting calendar. The interface features the fabled "boss button" for the paranoid employee. The "boss button" transforms the interface into a mock-spreadsheet, instantly giving office-wandering superiors the security of productivity, or so they . think. The service also comes in handy when more than one game is in play. CBS choses what games they will show region by region. For instance* in Sunday's secoiid-round matchups, San Diego's CBS affiliate KFMB showed nearly exclusive coverage of USD's game with Western Kentucky. Near the end of the game, USD was trailing by double-digits with under 30-seconds left on the clock. The game was clearly out of reach for the Toreros, however, because of geographic restrictions KFMB aired the game to the final buzzer, which lasted around five minutes because of timeouts and fouls. During this time, #10 seed Davidson was in the process of upsetting the #2 seed Georgetown. A few clicks was all it took for viewers to have access to the Georgetown, Davidson game online. Before, accessing the online coverage, users must first log in with a CBSSports.com, CBSNews.com, CBS.com, CBSGames: com, TheShowBuzz.com, or NCAAsports.com username and password. The interface of the service is simple and responsive. A pre-roll short advertisement plays before the user's initial selection, and after that, the only additional advertisements are the normal commercial breaks. The video quality in full-screen mode is comparable to that of the television broadcast. The only drawback to the service is a buffer delay (around one minute) from the actual live game. NCAA .com and CBS have offered the services for f ree that other leagues charge premiums for. The service is giving people what they want, and it is a win-win for all parties involved. CBS is projecting advertising revenues of at least $21 million, some $10 million more than 2007's tournament. �What happens on spring break doesn't stay on spring break Wcfcr urges youth to consider sta:s BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Spring Break '08 is a home stretch away and with that comes the necessary proactive safety advice from the campus, family and friends. Many just looking to "don't worry be happy" for a week may mistake concern for annoyance, believe rules aré meant to be broken, and consider those cautious as 'square.' Warnings can only go so far—in one ear and out the other, but the truth doesn't lie. Jennifer Wider, M.D., author of The Doctor's Complete College Girls' Health Guide: From Sex to Drugs to the Freshman 15, warns college girls of the possible repercussions of activities that ensue during a stereotypical college Spring Break vacation. Alcohol, drug use, and promiscuous sexual activity can leád to sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, overdose, and serious health problems. "An American Medical Association survey of college students found that 83 percent agree that Spring Break trips involve more or heavier drinking than typical college life," says Wider, M.D. "Almost threequarters of the surveyed students acknowledged that increased sexual activity takes place on these trips—70 percent know friends who were sexually active with more than one partner on Spring Break. STDs and pregnancy are two very real risks of spontaneous sex that have lasting consequences after the trip ends." Information mentioned by Wider originated from an online survey of 644 women age 17-35 conducted from Feb. 27-March 1, 2006. Wider adds that the only 100 percent preventative measure against an STD or unplanned pregnancy is abstinence; how- it later, and be aware of surroundings at all ever, youth should prepare themselves in the time. event they do have sex during Spring Break.

A once in a lifetime opportunity The World Nomads Travel Scholarship BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer There are scholarships that help pay for books and tuition.. .then there are scholarships that help pay for the experience of a lifetime. The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship provides the opportunity for one lucky student to have this experience. This opportunity has recently been opened up to the students at Cal State San Marcos. The scholarship will send one outstanding student to participate on an i-toi volunteer project to the tsunami-devastated region of Sri Lanka. The chosen student would spend time living in a small coastal village amongst locals of the region. The scholarship winner would also receive mentorship from Sydney Morning Herald journalist and travel writer Keith Austin throughout their stay. Among the perks is also a new Lenovo laptop the student would use to draft up their own fea- ture travel article highlighting their stay. Upon return, the student's article could be published by the Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au). If published, the story would be read by thousands of traveler's worldwide. Previously, The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship has sent students on various assignments in locations such as Anhem Land-Australia, Kenya and Cambodia giving away four educational scholarships to date. World Nomads is partnered with key industry leaders such as Lonely Planet and National Geographic. The "passionate about travel" organization was established in 1999. They have been offering travel insurance and travel safety services to adventurous independent travelers ever since. According to WorldNomads.com, the scholarship program is "designed to create a dynamic, experiential learning opportunity, which offers mentoring, produces exciting content and facilities partnership to publish/ Illustration by Amanda Andreen/The Pride broadcast/exhibit student's work."

How San Diego is getting overlooked BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Have you ever heard of a movie called "Blindsight"? No. What about one called "The Band's Visit"? Still nothing? How about "Contempt"? All right, so you haven't heard of any of these movies, that's fine - neither have I, to be honest. They are only the top rated movies on www.rottentomatoes.com, so why should we have heard of them? Well that is why we should have , heard of them. If they are the most popular recently released movies - wouldn't you think they'd be in all the major cities across California? Wrong. These "popular" movies, even though they are currently dubbed the most popular movies in the nation, NONE of them have found their way down to the San Diego area. I am a big fan of going to the moyie$, and I'm an even bigger fan of road trips - but I am NOT a fan of having to go on a road trip just to see a movie, which is exactly what I'd have to do if I wanted to see these . "popular" films. Some of these movies look quite entertaining and I would absolutely love to see them, but I don't want to drive for a few hours j ust so that 1 can sit and watch a movie for 2 hours. Now, I live in Orange County - and going to La-L.A.land is a drive for me, so I completely understand how much worse it is for everyone down here in San Diego County. So I guess if we want to see "Blindsight", " The Band's Visit", "Contempt", "Jar City", or "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly", we are j ust going to have to plan a road trip. We'd have*to head up to L.A. to see most of these. For some, however, we'd have to drive all the way up to the glorious misty air of the San Francisco Bay area. But for even some others - we would have to enjoy a delightful flight all the way to good old New York City. So why aren't these " great" movies playing in our major cities? I don't know, perhaps someone should write a letter to the Motion Picture Association of America. We could say that we aren't upset. We could tell them that we are JUST DISAPPOINTED - that will zing 'em! �w on't put y ou to s leep BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer A s I w alked u p t o t he d oorman/ b ouncer and p aid my $5 t o get i n, he a sked w ho I w as t here t o s ee.

A movie with the promised antics of Jack Black may sound tempting, but this is one comedy that doesn't fulfill its intended purpose. Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to destroy an electrical plant that he believes is reading his mind. But when his plan goes sour, his magne tized body ends up erasing all the tapes in his friend Mike's (Dante 'Mos D ef Smith) video store, conveniently named Be Kind Rewind. With a store full of blank videotapes, Jerry and-Mike embark on a not-so adventurous journey to remake some of the most memorable movies of our time. The ironic idea in this disappointing movie is that some of the best and most memorable movies are being remade, which just begs you to ask yourself the question: Why aren't I watching those movies right now? Considering this is a comedy, I found myself NOT laughing 90% of the time. Don't get me wrong, the remakes that the protagonists made were amateurishly comedic, but the entire movie just failed to move the audience emotionally. The remade movies, although humorous, failed to be consistent and plentiful enough to act as a driving force in the film. While Jack Black's performance was usual Jack Black as always, Mos Def came across as a little slow and boring, and that is definitely something that comedies are not about. With somewhat bland characters and an even duller story, "Be Kind Rewind" fails to hook the audience with its scarcity of laughter. Chances are you'd be better off staying at home and listening to your Tenacious D CDs. Photos courtesy Photo courtesy Abbot Genser/New Line Cinema Stone Imperial Russian Stout BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Stone Imperial Russian Stout in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to better meet product demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Stone Brewery should be in Escondido for an extended amount of time. The brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ^ ^ H ounces. A gargoyle wearing a ^ ^ ^ f ur cap ad or n e d with a star, no d oubt a throwback to Imperial Russia, squats holding a mug of stout. The bottle has a bright blue outline while a foggy white outlines the gargoyle. A shiny gold glazed bottle cap, featuring the company's logo in black stencil, caps a bottle with an alcohol by volume of 10.8%. The double than average AVB is characteristic of Imperial Russian Stouts, which often have ABVs of 10-11% The stout retails for $5.99 at BevMo. The stout pours chunky — a rich black liquid fills the glass. A thin head forms and disappears quickly. The stout radiates a gothic blackish-purplish color. Coffeelike aromas seep into the surrounding air. The murky stout first attacks the tongue. A subtle tingling sensation spreads throughout the taste buds. The stout gathers intensity during the peak of consumption and finishes off the rest of the oral cavity like a Jackie Chan fight scene. The stout leaves a powerful rolling wave of energy as the stout descends below. The lips smack in joy and demand more. Stone Imperial Russian Stout should be consumed leisurely in a relaxing environment to fully experience the adventure.Unwind during spring break with this week's stout. If considering the stout, visit a local BevMo quickly as the stout is scheduled to disappear after spring. Have a f un and safe spring break, Cougars! OneRepublic "Dreaming Out Loud" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Thirteen tracks of juicy vocals and teasing guitar—OneRepublic's "Dreaming Out Loud" is sizzling. A scintillating blend of what falls easily on the ears as a mixture of The Fray, Maroon 5, Keane, and Snow Patrol, "Dreaming Out Loud", off Interscope Records, is heating up the charts and the airwaves across the nation. "Dreaming Out Loud," moved from slot 45 last week, to slot 20 this week on Billboard's Hot 200 albums. The single "Apologize" featuring Timbaland is #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and "Stop and Stare" is up three spots to the #9 song on Billboard's Pop chart, and is also #9 on iTunes' Top 100 Songs. Not only that, but "Apologize" is the #17 most downloaded ring tone in the nation this week, falling in between "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. The album opener, "Say (All I Need)," is a scenic ballad with a techno flare, promptly followed up by "Mercy" which was most recently featured on the March 13 episode of "Smallville," along with "Apologize" and "Stop and Stare." Following "Mercy" is "Stop and Stare"—which stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it. It's that good. Then comes "Apologize," and there really isn't that much to say about this track other than it's amazing and catchy. "Goodbye Apathy" which falls directly after "Stop and Stare" and "Apologize", mirrors The Fray's sound so closely, it could most definitely be mistaken for a track like "Little House" off their last album, "How to Save A Life." Track 7, "Tyrant," brings to mind "Erlkonig" by Franz Shubert with it's pounding one note intro, and it definitely isn't the strongest track on the album, but it is apparent they were trying something different, as this track has a little more of a U2 and Bon Jovi vibe. "Prodigal" starts out slower, and leads in with creeping vocals that could be compared to Snow Patrol and Keane as the song slowly builds into a full-blown pacing rock song with a hint of the Beatles, circa "I am the Walrus" era. * "Won't Stop" has a bit more of a Nashville feel to it, with violins and percussive elements accompanied by a confident steel guitar and curious piano interludes. "Someone to Save You" and "All We Are" sound pretty much the same, except for the really lame sounding drum intro on "Someone to Save You." Except for those two tracks and "Tyrant," the rest of the album is solid, and even though the "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" version of "Apologize" rocks, I have no doubt they could have made it to the top without his help.

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

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

"The letter was prompted by discussions with students (both at CSUSM and at my children's school) about Huerta and Chavez. Over the years I have been teaching, many students have asked why Chavez is honored with a holiday, statues, etc and Huerta is forgotten," said Wilson. "I was motivated to think about how, on a local level, we could honor Huerta and decided a movement to t ry and put a statue of her alongside Chavez would be a good way to honor her work and give her the rightful place she deserves next to Chavez. Also, as Chavez day is supposed to be a day honoring community service, I think the idea of using the holiday to serve underrepresented communities (like the predominantly Latino, dual-immersion school I visited on Thursday) is in keeping with the purpose of the day — to inspire service and activism to change one's community for the better." Dolores Huerta worked alongside Chavez, fighting for the rights of farm and field workers, immigrants, and migrant workers. "Although Chavez has been framed as the ' father' of the farm workers/Latino rights cause, she (Huerta) is just as important as him. Yet, in keeping with our patriarchal culture, we honor the fathers and forget the mothers," said Wilson. Wilson plays an active role in the Women's Center and Women's Studies department in addition to the Literature and Writing department. Earlier this year, CSUSM recognized Wilson under its February Faculty Achievements for her many publications including a chapter, "Womb Fiction: Late Twentieth Century Challenges to the Woman as Womb Paradigm," H §ll§ll9 M 8 & 8 i 0 : 3 0 Ss *a i THE PRIDE importantly, though, is the message that the CSUSM campus community does not condone sexual assault and is actively working to stop it.

Following the information f air all in attendance are invited and welcome to walk together without fear to symbolize the end of the victimization of women. history, we hope that you will please consider putting a statue of Huerta next to the Chavez statue." "She should put a statue next to the other one of Chavez that is the same size and not smaller or behind Chavez," added third grader Naomi C lift. When asked why Huerta should also have a statue, third grade student Oscar Garcis replied, "They worked together as a team, and they were equally important in the fight for f arm workers rights." The experience proved enlightening to Wilson, having received skepticism from educators over whether or not the issues discussed would be too complicated for young students to comprehend. "These kids proved that they do understand and can grasp the injustice of the way in which our world judges people based on skin color, monetary earnings, or on whether they are male or female. They were really in Women in Anglophone Literary Culture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Perspectives Ed. Robin Hammerman, Cambridge: Cambridge Scholars Press, 2007. In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K. Rowling. To end the discussion, Wilson discussed the achievements and advancements made throughout history to help women attain their rights, adding that letters and petitions are ways of evoking change. Students then collectively d rafted their letter for Haynes stating, "We, the students of Valley Elementary feel* that Dolores Huerta deserves to have a statue next to Cesar Chavez. They both worked together; she was j ust as important as he was. In order to honor her and women's excited to learn about feminism and important women," said Wilson. "I would love to see CSUSM student organizations get involved in trying to make the statue a reality. We have so many vibrant groups and passionate students on this campus from MECHA to the Black Students Union to the Women's Center, the LGBTQ center, the Cross Cultural Center, and Women's Studies Student Association. With their help, and the support of faculty and departments, it seems that even in this time of horrendous budget cuts, we could direct our energies towards honoring a woman who so valiantly fights for social justice." Any students interested in f urthering the movement on campus can follow the advice of Valley Elementary student Georgia Gilmore, "Students at college should sign a petition and show it to President Haynes to show their support of the statue." mat a|l:iil|l|il S From NIGHT, page 1 higher education and stop student fee increases," said Cervantes. "Over 3.2 million students at the CCC, CSU and UC will be adversely affected by $1 billion dollars in cuts to higher education," said SSCCC President Frank Fernandez of Imperial Valley College.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yet this mediocre film fails on many levels. This is astonishing considering the star power and factors behind the film. The film producers had a good idea, but the movie left me begging for the end. The book "Bringing Down the House" is the inspiration for the film. The best selling book is the t rue story of Ben Mezrich, who used math and card counting to win large amounts of money in Las Vegas casinos. Jim Sturgess plays Ben, a math genius who needs money so that he can attend Harvard Medical School. Kevin Spacey, a professor, notices his talent and invites him to learn card counting so that he can devise a teamwork system to guarantee continuous wins at blackjack. Ben's life becomes complicated when he falls for a teammate played by Kate Bosworth and casino security puts the pressure on him. One place this film went wrong was with the acting. Jim Sturgess had his big break with the lead in "Across the Universe " but this actor f rom the UK had a hard time being a believable American college student. The audience might fail to care for his character due to the lack of depth. The other big name in this film is Kevin Spacey, who has proved himself as one of the greatest actors ever. However, one cannot always be perfect as Spacey gives a moderate performance as a stereotypical college professor who quotes "Ferris Bueller's Day O ff." More small flaws plague this film, which the flashy clothes and stylish music could not cover. The idea that inspires this film is fine, yet it becomes boring. At first, the depiction of card counting is exciting, but the repetitive nature of the action becomes boring. In between scenes in casinos are unoriginal moments showing the rise and fall of a movie character. Ben starts as a nerdy college student, who uses his skill to become something great and win the attention of the girl he has adored for a long time. Nevertheless, in the process, he forgets his t rue friends, then his world comes crashing down, and he must redeem himself. The end is predictable and like other films of this nature everything becomes right and Ben still gets the girl. The structure of the film being similar to many others may cause this movie to flop. Despite being based on a bestselling book and having notable actors, "21" might only score the titular number on a scale out of 100. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures San Miguel Dark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer While taking a trip to the Philippines might seem a tad bit difficult, tasting a product f rom Southeast Asia is not that far f rom reach. San Miguel Corporation brews San Miguel Dark Lager in Manila, Philippines. Logret Import and Export Company in City of Industry, California, imports the lager. The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $6.99. The labeling is similar to most imported beers. The packaging consists of blue and yellow accents fea- turing a f rosty bottle nestled in a bed of ice. The bottles are labeled slightly different. The bottles contain a sophisticated gold and blue label. A copper bottle cap with the company's logo in red and black stencil caps a lager with 5% alcohol by volume. The lager pours semismooth releasing an almost completely black ale creating a half-inch thick head. The head keeps formation for a few moments then disappears. The lager creates an aroma similar to that of a bread bakery as doughy scents surround the f rosty mug. The lager enters smooth with a hint of excitement. Unlike most brews that peak with a onetime p owerful punch of flavor, the lager's peak of energy continues throughout the swallow and lingers for a brief moment thereafter. The lager leaves a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Ease back into school with this week's béer of the week and enjoy a wonderful product of a land far, far away. Welcome back, Cougars!

And with so many choices out there to satisfy your craving, could La Fe Tortilleria be the shining example of t rue authenticity? La Fe Tortilleria is small restaurant on West Mission Road here in San Marcos, about a block or two away f rom the San Marcos Civic Center Sprinter Station. This small restaurant is the perfect atmosphere for a small lunch or for a call-in order. With its cozy space, it can be hard to spot, but tucked away in the area is this restaurant with a plethora of varying dishes-. From the usual burritos, tamales, and enchiladas to my personal favorite: " street" tacos. Ranging f rom chicken t o pork, their best choice of meat to place in a burrito is definitely their carne asada. ' Biting in to their famous street taco, the tender meat j ust seems to melt in your mouth.

Dixon and James Nelson to speak to the university community about the historical perspectives about the campus statue honoring civil rights activist César Sleepless in San Diego Chavez. Dixon and Nelson were the two artists responsible for creating the statue and spoke about the importance and legacy to which the school connects itself. "My mother was a farm worker in Texas during the 60s, and [the United Farm Workers] was all that she would talk about," shared Dixon as she spoke about personal meaning of the work. "It was really the most tragic existence for farm workers who didn't have a voice and was never in one. place long enough to ask for change and equality." The week ended by honoring the leader with a candlelight vigil at the steps of Chavez Plaza. Traditional, See Sleepless, Page 4 Photo by Elbert Esguerra / The Pride Campus community unites to raise awareness On Tues. April 8, men and women gathered in Forum Plaza to participate in a night of empowerment and education against the sexual violence of women. Take Back t he Night is an observed protest around the nation that involves walking in the dark to display that women should and have t he right to feel safe while walking in the dark. Every two minutes, somewhere in A merica, someone i s sexually assaulted. This is the second year the Women's Center has held a Take Back the Night event on campus. On display was the 'Walk In Her Shoes' exhibit, f eaturing a variety of women's shoes with f acts and personal stories about sexual violence u nderneath them. The National College Women Sexual Victimization Study estimated between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years. B efore the event began, many students walked through the exhibit and scaled t he booths in attendance. Students and s taff candidly shared their experiences and observations regarding sexual violence.

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

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

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

The San Diego rescue mission has indicated on their website that the event will not be cancelled on account of inclement weather, saying, " the homeless sleep outside even in unfavorable weather." "This year, it is the goal of Alpha Kappa Psi to shed light on these issues to students who do not typically see these problems in North County," CSUSM sophomore and member of Alpha Kappa Psi, Melissa Mattingly said. "Our goal is to raise $2500 to donate to the San Diego Rescue Mission." Mattingly, who "was recently crowned Miss Escondido, said, "I found out about the San Diego Rescue Mission through the Miss Escondido pageant, and I have been working with them ever since I won." Like a walkathon, participants will conduct fundraising for "Sleepless in San Diego" through the acquisition of sponsors, usually friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. According to Alpha Kappa Psi, ^'Donations to the San Diego Rescue Mission go to support two core recovery programs encompassing in-depth services for lasting change, as well as an emergency shelter, providing men, women and families the opportunity for both immediate relief and longterm transformation." As of April 10, Alpha Kappa Psi has raised $3200, far exceeding its initial f undraising goal. While there is a minimum donation of $50 required to get into the event for most participants, students participating with Alpha Kappa Psi are asked to donate j ust $10. Alpha Kappa Psi is still looking to get as many people involved in the event as possible and hopes to garner media attention at the event. Students interested in participating should contact Alpha Kappa Psi at akpsi_ pu@yahoo.com for more information. From CENTER, page 1 ing the night's entertainment. Ranging from the ballads of international singer/songwriter Tiamo De Vettori, to spoken word performances by Kimberly Dark and Miz Liberty, to colorful and energetic dance numbers by drag queens Tatiana, Marilyn McWilliams, and Moment St. John, the evening was lively, light-hearted and jubilant. Highlighting the vision for the LGBTQ Pride Center as a place that "creates, sustains, and strengthens an open, inclusive, safe, and affirming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, and ally communities," all present for the celebration affirmed and empowered CSUSM's next step in bettering the campus community. "The Pride center is a great addition to ASI's programs and services sponsored by education, advocacy, support, resource information, and a safe place for all students," said ASI CEO and President Caitlin Gelrud. "It was through the voice and advocacy of CSUSM students that this center was established. In the spring of 2007, the ASI Board of Directors approved the strategic planning and establishment of the LGTBQ Center." Manning introduced the keynote speaker, Windmeyer, as "the leading author on gay campus issues, a national leader in gay and lesbian civil rights, and a champion for LGBT issues on college campuses. He is the executive director of 'Stop the Hate' and the executive director for 'Campus Pride,' the only national organization for student leaders and campus organizations working to create a safer campus environment for LGBT students" and spoke about his several books addressing LGBT students and involvement in sororities and fraternities. "One of the things I think the LGBTQ Center is really about is the community," said Windmeyer, "and I'm not telling you anything new when it comes to how important community is on a college campus...This shouldn't just be about LGBTQ people, this should be about the entire campus community. And the LGBTQ Pride Center should be a place where we can educate across intersections of identity." Toward the end of the evening Dr. Bridget Blanshan, Dean of , Students at CSUSM, recognized alumni and graduating students who have and had worked hard in the LGBTA community on campus by honoring them, their courage, and commitment to the campus community with a special certificate and commencement cord. The LGBTQ Pride Center is now open and located at Commons 201. More information about the center and its resources can be accessed online at csusm.edu/asi/lgbtq, or by visiting the center. �JC/\ 1 U 1 \ D J FEATURES T H E PRIDE Tuesday, April 15, 2008 r ASI alternative Spring Break The act of giving is so much more BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer W hile other s tudents were r elaxing or v acationing d uring s pring b reak, a h andful of CSUSM s tudents p acked t heir b ags and flew out t o N ew O rleans for an alternative t o t he conventional s pring b reak.

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

STORY AND PHOTOS BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer The opening of the new University Store on April 7 not only marks an exciting day for the University's Foundation, but it also begins a new chapter for all CSUSM members to revive their school spirit and nurture the growing campus community. In addition to the now textbook-only store located downstairs from the new store on the f ifth floor of Craven hall, the University Store is open and eager to serve students in many new ways. "As a non-profit corporation operating for the benefit of our campus community, we feel that t his is a step in the right direction. It may be a small d ifference in our campus as a whole, but it is always exciting to be a part of t he campus growing and moving for- the textbook and a staff member will go downstairs and retrieve the book.

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

That is why the University Store is o ffering a new scholarship program in coordination with ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's something we started this past spring," said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI." Each semester 10 students can receive the scholarship, which covers the cost of textbooks up t o $450 per student.

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

Earth Day has fundamentally become more of a state of mind than an observed event. With technological strides promoting the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, and energy-efficient appliances, there are virtually no products that encourage harm to the environment. Even the easiest of actions make an impact: using less hot water, taking public transportation, or planting a tree.

In the world of blogs, several pertain to music reviews and opinions. The Hype Machine is a resource where the registered music blogs come together in a convenient way for Internet users. The site tracks the activity on a wide variety of blogs and relays the posts onto it for easier browsing of music opinions, The mission, according to the site, is to inform people of music they are unaware of and expose them to new possibilities. Internet users can browse music according to the reviews of others that have similar taste. Previews of songs are available, as well as a link to the Amazon and iTunes music stores. The founders of the site intended this to steer people to new artists and help them make money through sales. The Hype Machine is userfriendly for all users, but according to the site, the most popular demographic is "a more male, fairly wealthy, youthful, more educated crowd." Another bonus is the amount of reviews made possible by the live indexing of songs and artists. The Hype Machine makes searching for and discovering new tunes much easier, as compared with searching on individual blogs. In addition, unlike published music reviews, these are the honest and raw opinions of "musicphiles." Though the site favors the alternative and indie types of music, it contains information to interest fans of ai types of music. People who are open to new music should try The Hype Machine because it is a resource of music blogs unlike any other site. �The Evolution of Dance S chool's not o ut f or t he S ummer BY JONATHAN E.

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

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

CSUSM Softball splits doubleheader with Concordia after snagging the national # 21 ranking BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball broke info the national spotlight last week, cracking the NAIA Top-25 with a #21 ranking in the 4/9 poll. The feat is the first of its kind in the two-year history of the program. The Cougars attempted to carry the good vibes into their Saturday doubleheader with Concordia University, however a series of missed opportunities cost them game one. The Cougars bounced back and won game two in dramatic fashion. In game one, the Cougars got on the board early, scoring a run in the first inning on a Shanti Poston RBI single, scoring Elizabeth Bush.

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

It is questionable whether "Leatherheads" should be considered a sports film in the same sense as "Field of D reams" or "Remember t he Titans." The film is a contrast f rom Clooney's recent work, who directed "Good Night, and Good L uck" (2005) and received acclaim for "Michael Clayton" (2007). This is more about the self-absorbed characters we come across, and the connection between these characters feels forgettable. The only thing scarier than "The Ruins"? The cost of popcorn BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer What makes a good horror film? Most would agree that the answer includes lots of gore, suspense, unexpected twists, drama, and hot actors. Surprisingly, "The R uins" does ¡Hi not lack in any of t h e s e ^ ¿ r j a departments. ProbJ| ably one of the best suspense thrillers I have seen in a few years, " The R uins" definitely excites and entices the audience with its good looking cast, quality acting, and raw horror. Set in Cancun, Mexico, "The R uins" begins with four American college students on a leisurely vacation. When they meet a German student, Mathias, played by Joe Anderson of "Across the Universe," the foursome decides to j oin the other international students to visit an ancient Mayan temple that is supposed to be exclusive and off the modern maps. Based on the novel t urned screenplay by Scott B. Smith, the meat of the film comes f rom the developing characters as they come to grips with the reality set before them as once at the temple, they become trapped and prisoners to a fate no logic or reason is able to explain. Without giving away too many of the exciting plot twists and key moments in the film, it is safe to say that the temple and the means to which the surrounding inhabitants go to keep it hidden are extreme. For those who have not read " The Ruins," on top of being scary, it is a f un watch because the director and screenplay writer made conscious decisions to let the audience discover what is happening right alongside the characters in the film, unlike many other horror films that are predictable and expected. Not only does this manipulate the audience's formal expectations of the specific characters and their I roles in the film, but it § also changes the narration ^ of the film, as the story is ju shot from the perspective | that the a udis ence j f - 'sJ:*-. e xperiencing the drama right along with the characters. " The R uins" presents a psychological fear and dilemma unlike many other horror flicks, as it capitulates traditional plot motivations, and utilizes an evolved fear that even with prosthetics and CG3 animation, is still hard to w rap one's brain around. One thing is for sure though, " The R uins" is worth the outrageous admission price, and it will not disappoint even the harshest of critics.

It was mediIf you can get past the rough ocre, sophomoric at best - surely beginning 20 minutes or so, this nothing to be nominated for any award - and that is really all there is to say about it. Smart People offered the greatest pairing of actors with the greatest chemistry that, I dare say, I've ever seen: Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page. The incredible sardonic banter between these two is probably the single greatest part of this entire movie. Each of the scenes with these two together is a brilliant and wonderful one. They are one of the greatest comedic pairs since Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello. Ellen Page has really come about as the incredible actress that she is. Her breakthrough performance in Juno was one of the greatest of the year, but in this movie - her performance in this movie is the greatest I've seen her give. Her sardonic, black humor is riveting and completely perfect for her role as the over achieving, sarcastic daughter of a widowed college professor, played | by Quaid. Thomas Haden Church, who plays Dennis Quaid's ^ adopted brother, has come § a long way from playing f an evil villain made out of 5 sand, or stretching farther back, a somewhat simpleminded mechanic on the 90s television show, Wings. Church was the most perfect actor for this role. He was sarcastic and slightly perverted while still holding a bit of dignity and sentimentality to bring home a message of togetherness in the end. Great acting, incredible comedic timing, sarcasm to last a lifetime, and a heartfelt ending all make up this great film. If you are in the mood to see something good and something worth the ridiculous amount you have to pay to see a movie - 1 say that "Smart People" is an excellent choice. Yes, there are a few moments where the movie drags a little, but I'd say that a strong 95% of the movie was enjoyable, laughable, as well as emotionally driven and thought provoking. Bottom line: I loved it. I'd see it again. And I would recommend it to anyone.

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

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

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

THE PRIDE NEWS Saving big with parking adjunction BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Many at Cal State San Marcos can agree that the price for park­ing is exorbitantly expensive, and the high prices of parking viola­tions do not help to alleviate the depression of an empty wallet. But with a brand· new program offered by the Parking Adjudica­tion office here at Cal State San Marcos, many students and fac­ulty can save some much needed cash. Starting Tuesday April 22nd to Wednesday April 23"1, Park­ing Adjudication will waive the $25.00 late fee for any ticket ifyou ·pay your outstanding fee on these dates. The ijew program will help those with late fees to pay, so that they are not plagued by the fee of their violation and a $25.00 late fee. "We know that the economy is getting kind ofbad and we wanted to help students if they have any outstanding citations, they can pay it on those two days ... and we will waive the $25.00 late fee for them on each citation," stated Patti Hale of Parking Adjudication at CaJ State San Marcos. Even for tickets that students and faculty have received in the past, the late fees will simply get waived. For example, if someone has four previous citations charg­ing $50.00 each, the late fees for all four will total to $100. But ifa stu­dent or faculty member come in on the 22 or 23 and pay their citation charges, the total $100 late fee for all four citations will be waived. This will allow any driver to this campus to save money and park­ing problem that has been plaguing them resolved. The prices for parking permits for staff, faculty, and especially students are expensive, and many have voiced their opinions in the form of protests and petitions. But what many don't understand is that Parking Services is a self­sufficient company with no finan­cial stability from the university. With a proposed parking garage planned for completion in 2010, the funds for such a proj­ect must come from somewhere. In reality, the prices set for per­mits or violations will actually contribute to the advancement of the school, not to be brutal capitalism. "Our motto here is to educate, not to adjudicate" stated Hale. With the initiation of this event, all ·drivers of this institution will have the oppor­tunity to save money in these troubled times.

Hernandez Payne said it is very impor­tant, that despite the challenge of living in a low socio-eco­nomic area, the children still count on very supportive par­ents. She said language is one of their biggest challenges, but despite that, every teacher at Farr Elementary visits every single household of every child in their classrooms. They also have parent meetings once a month in which the parents are provided with activities, read­ing tips and other material to practice with their children. "The Latino culture values education a lot," she said. "The big challenge is the language bar­rier, but we still have a lot of sup­port. Visiting their homes makes us understand the living situation and allows us to get to know the child better." Parents who were among those visiting the campus said bringing children even at such a young age can be nothing but beneficial. "I like the idea because this way he can start realizing what his future may look like," said Maria Zavala, parent to a fifth grader. "This keeps him focused and motivated, he can start think­ing about what he wants, to be and what he wants to study, and make him strive for a better future." Hernandez Payne said it is very important to get children think­ing about college this early on, so it doesn't go to the back of their minds. "We want them to think that college is not something that you may or may not go to," she said. "It's actually something that will be the next step."

Zumaya, a IO-year profes­sional photographer, attends classes between picking up and dropping off his three daugh­ters. He initially attended SDSU where he tried to launch a year­book there as well. Fortunately, for CSUSM but unfortunate for Zumaya, "The project was not able to be com­pleted and go to press because the funding we had did not follow through on their prom­ise," he said. After his first debacle with SDSU he returned to CSUSM in pursuit of finishing his degree with "a better plan and [the abil­ity] to provide personal money to by skateboaf'\ . for resisting and officer. The officer get the project started," he said. Zumaya found numerous CSUSM staff, facility, and fellow Cougar supporters for a school wide yearbook. In fall 07 semester, he ran into Stephanie Erdodi. She wanted to organize a yearbook club. They became acquaintances and remain in contact today. Ultimately, "the success of this project is dependent on funding and support from the University," said Zumaya. The project gathers funding in other ways as well. The proj­ect offers free online portraits for graduating CoBA students. The project enables students to purchase their portraits. The project allots a portion of the sales to cover costs associated with producing a physical year­book. "Results from the Senior Experience team's surveys led to the creation of our prototype yearbook publication for CoBA. We have plans for next year to complete a yearbook for the [entire] University or possibly separate yearbooks for the indi­vidual colleges," said Zumaya. "Jim Hamererly, director of business .community relations from CoBA ... has provided sup­port that has been very impor­tant to the success we have had on this project. Without his support, we would not be at the to the 1acti • ma e point where we are now," said Zumaya.

From the moment I set foot on this University my loy­alty, passion, and love has been with CSUSM in every way. I had to ask myself the question before running for office, "What if I did not get elected ASI President?" After reflection, my answer to this question was, "I will con­tinue to engage and be engaged in CSUSM's growth to my utmost ability and capacity." When the reasons are right, what you stand for can never be defeated. How will you balance this with your job as a Resident Advisor? In order to engage fully into my role as ASI President, I must make tough decisions, this will be the first. I am 0 or 100%. This is what you get when you choose me. Balance, organization, and time management will be key to executing successfully as ASI President and an RA. I look forward to discussing the pos­sible options with Brian Dawson (Director ofUVA) in order for me to thrive in the year to come. How will you foster diversity on campus? This will come naturally because it is the forefront of who I am and what I do --I am a con­sensus builder. I have come to listen and to be the voice of the st}ldent body. Bringing people together from all paths of life is what I strive to achieve. Being a Resident Advisor for the inter­national & multi-cultural expe­nence has been an excellent training ground and an invalu­able opportunity in order for me to call everyone to the table, not to agree every time, but to under­stand each other every time. What do you imagine will be your biggest problem? -Bring the worst, scariest, and ugliest problems to me. For together with my ASI Team we will find a successful solution to any problem we are faced with. We are your student leaders for this reason. Future ASI President's Mes­ sage to students Hello Fellow CSUSM Cou­ gars! You have spoken and your voice has been heard. YOU have elected me Associ­ ated Students Incorporated Presi­dent & CEO. Your trust and con­fidence in me will be reflected in every decision I make on your behalf Thank you for your sup­port with all my heart. I appre­ciate you giving me this oppor­tunity to be your leader and to serve you. We have an exhila­rating new year ahead of us, one that is not wit_hout its challenges. Together we will face these chal­lenges and succeed in spite of adversity. In doing this, we will become unified as a community and show the true strength of our Cougar Spirit. I invite you not only to take ownership in your education here at CSUSM but also your campus life experience. Choose how you want to leave your mark on our dynamic campus. This is the ini­tiative we all face, to become more involved, to engage, empower, and to serve each other. Create your unforgettable memories and vah;1ed relationships now in campus life. It is said that the col­ lege experience can be the most rewarding, fun, and joyful years of our lives. I say this is true because you are here; you make our s_chool what it is. What you put into it is exactly what you will get out of it. Please know that I am in com­ plete solidarity with you as a stu­ dent and stand by your side as we move forward, together. I have come to listen and to voice and act on your concerns. I will not hesitate to reveal everything that I am and unlock my full potential for CSUSM.

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

From FAIR, page 1 it's black, white, green, or yellow, we're celebrating everyone and people from everywhere." The flags of over 40 different nations flew and representatives of over 30 different student orga­nizations were on hand at the fair, including France, Vietnam, Ger­many, Japan, Mexico, the Philip­pines, and the Middle East. The event was free and many of the organizations offered students a culinary taste indigenous to their respective countries. Hungry stu­dents lined up for crepes, bratwurst, egg rolls, and even birthday cake for every month of the year. "This is just a . fun way for people to think internationally," said April Paustian of Global Connections. "It's easy to think in American terms that so many students are accustomed to, but there's a whole other part that this country is all about. Sharing that aspect is a good way to grow." This year marks the sixth year of the fair's existence. The Uni­versity Global Affairs Office organized this year's event and sponsors included Associated Stu- Students dressed in traditional attire dents, Inc., the Office of Global Education, Student Life and Lead­ership, different student multicul­tural organizations and the Lan­guage Learning Center. Some organizations used the International Fair to highlight some of their past achievements and events over the year. Others took the opportunity to recruit Photo by Ben Ro/fee /The Pride and cross promote upcoming activities. "Like everyone, Kamalayan Alliance is here to recognize diver­sity," said Allie Moreno, a member representative from Kamalayan. "We're hoping to promote our Filipino Culture Night on April 26 and the fair presents a perfect time do just that." . FEATURES The heathy side of tea Getting the most out of your beverage Afarewell to Dr. Newman LlWR professor says goodbye to CSUSM BY ARIANNE SCHULZ Pride Staff Writer Tea is a beverage full of health bene­fits-whether it is black tea, green tea, · white tea, oolong tea, or herbal tea. While tea is sometimes a general term for a large grouping of hot beverages, "tea" (this applies to black, green, and white tea) is actually an infusion of the leaves of the blooming white-flower, evergreen bush (Camellia sinesis) native to China and India. The term "tea" is used gen­erally for the term of infusion because marketers found con­sumers responded more favor­ably to it rather than labeling products as "herbal infu­sions." The only differences between the different vari­eties of tea (as previously noted: black, white, and green tea all originate from the same plant, Camellia sinesis) are how it is processed after the leaves are picked. Black tea is the darkest color because it is the most processed. Though black tea is the most processed/oxidized, studies have found that black tea still con­tains many beneficial compounds that can contribute to human health. Black tea is the most commonly consumed and pro­duced tea in the world. Another variation of tealeaf process­ing produces green tea. Green tea is less processed than black tea"T"""the leaves may be steamed or baked after:heipg'immedi­ately picked and thilpi-eserv~s,•a lot of the . antioxidant compounds in tea that make it such a health wonder. Green tea is very popular in Asia and has become increas­ing popular around the world. . The least amount of processing of tealeaves produces a rare, fragile tea­ . white tea. White tea 1s described as having the most delicate flavor and it also contains the most 0 X l ­ dants. White tea is only picked at certain times during the year· and after j:,eing picked," it is promptly dried with little or no oxidation exposure. Though white tea offers many health· benefits, green tea receives a lot of main­stream attention for its health advantages. Tea contains antioxidants, which neutral­ize the effects ofoxidants/free radicals that are products of cell metabo­lism. Tea contains flavonoids and catechins that are types of antioxidants that are effec­tive at neutraliz­ing free radicals. This is impor­t a n t because free-radical damage is being stud­ied to determine .its co_ntribution_to dis­ ~ ~ • . T eases and other health problems. Recently, a study in the Molecular Nutri­ tion and Food Research journal reports their findings that by adding citrus ele­ments to green tea, the catechins (antioxi­dants) became more stabile. While most teas are high in antioxidant compounds such as catechins, humans do not typi­cally "reap" or absorb all of these because they need to be in an acidic environment to increase absorption. There are many ways to implement this-try adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of orange, lemon, grapefruit, or lime juice to 1 cup of green tea. Additionally, tea manufacturers are making it even easier for tea con­sumers to get the most antioxidants out of green tea by offering green tea blends with citrus components already added in with tea. Look for Celestial Seasonings' Antioxidant Green Tea Blend or Salada's Original Green Tea Antioxidant Blend, which can most likely be found at local grocery stores. If caffeine content is a concern, there are many tea blends offered on the market that are decaffeinated (usually by carbon dioxide effervescence, which "cleanly" removes 99.6% to 99.9% of caffeine). According to Celestial Seasonings Tea, the caffeine contents of tea are roughly the following per 1 cup serving: black tea (60 mg), green tea (30 mg), and white tea (50 mg). Celestial Seasoning also notes for comparison the caffeine contents of 1 cup servings of coffee (90 mg) and soda (45 mg). So, simply put: enjoy tea-there is sure to be a tea that appeals to any preference and provides health benefits! BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Dr. Lance Newman has been a Professor of Literature and Writing Studies (currently the Associate Professor) at CSUSM since September of 2002, teaching courses from Advanced Creative Writing to Transatlantic Romanticism. Before coming to CSUSM, Newman spent time teaching at State Uni­versity ofWest Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Brown University in Rhode Island -which, coincidentally, is where he earned his Master's as well as Doctorate degrees. (Unfortunately however, CSUSM Hookah Lounge -Pool Tables Games Great Food tiubblY 13ubblY Ca is going to miss Dr. Newman, as he moves on to the next chapter of his career, r ... )"I am moving to Utah, where I plan to do lots of hiking... sailing... mountain biking... and rafting... I'll be teaching at Westminster Col­lege in Salt Lake City," said Newman. Lance Newman is'a teacher who genuinely cares about his students-one of his favor­ite classes to teach students is creative writ­ing. "I love creative writing seminars where we teach each other how to make art out of words," said Newman. A Senior Business major/Lit~rature and Writing minor, Jona­than E. Thompson, took LTWR 105: Texts that Changed the World with Newman, and said, "Professor Newman was so awesome. I remember he assigned us 'Native Son.' That was such a good book and such a great class. It is unfortunate for CSUSM to lose such a great person." In addition to current students, Newman has also made lasting impressions on students who have since graduated and moved on to life after school. Brandon Gray, CSUSM alum whom graduated last semes­ter with his B.A. in Literature and Writing, said "[Newman] was the kind of professor that you wanted to work hard for because if you got a high grade on an assignment you know you deserved it." Since coming to CSUSM, Newman says about the campus, "the student population has almost doubled in six years. What used to be a sleepy little college now looks a lot more like a big university ..." Being part of this university's community has really meant a lot to Newman, "I really loved · being part of... building something new." "People here are very passionate about what they do and they really want this place to live up to their ideals," said Newman. When asked what, if any, advice he would like to give the students of CSUSM, Newman said, "the school belongs to the students. Only you can make sure we deliver what you want. And only you have the power to defend our school against budget cutters and corporatizers,'' In fact, Newman's influence and time at CSUSM has inspired many students to set their goals towards teaching. Sophomore Literature and Writing major, Jennifer Rylander says that Newn:ian has taught her "a lot about what he calls close reading in context which really helps me to under­stand not only what the author was trying to do with a piece of writing but also how to interpret literature. I know for a fact that his teachings will help me throughout my years as a student and eventually as a teacher." On top ofbeing a successful and educated professor, Newman is quite an accomplished author. In addition to publishing many essays and poems, he also published a book ofcriti­cism, "Our Common Dwelling." Currently, Newman is working on a book: "Capitalism is Killing Our Planet." "You can read some chunks at http://redgreenplanet.blogspot. com," said Newman. CSUSM is going to miss the presence of such a valuable individual. Newman has cre­ated a legacy that he leaves behind and will last for many years to come, long after he's ·been gone.

The irony ofthis is that The Onion is not news. Though The Onion claims to be news, in actuality, it is purely fictional-even thought it presents itself as if it is. Rather than present the news, The Onion makes up news­1 ike stories in sarcastic and ironfo ways-often resulting in humor. Although it is fic­tional, The Onion treats itself as a real news site and divides stories into local and interna­tional news sections, sports, entertainment, science, busi­ness, and opinion subdivisions. Each contains stories, which are interesting and can cause a reader to laugh aloud. An example ·includes a headline, which read, "Drug Win (is this supposed to be drugs win or drug wins)? Drug War." The stories covered often consider actual events while putting a humorous twist on them. The site target market Onion was a newspaper written by two students at the University of Wisconsin, Tim Keck and Christopher John­son, in 1988. The writers then published it nationwide and during the Internet boom, they created theonion.com. Other incarnations of The Onion include the daily pod­cast titled, "The Onion Radio News," and a video podcast, which calls itself the "Onion News Network." The ONN parodies the four main types of TV news coverage: the national news, the morning wake up shows, debate style news, and C-Span style cov­erage. Additionally, books are available for purchase on the site that contain past sto­ries. In 2007, The Onion pub­lished "Our Dumb World," an atlas that mocks the ste­reotypes and images of every nation.

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

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

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

Movie previews and the ruination of the Movie-going experience: A Treatise BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of going to the movies is watching the previews. The lights dim, a hush comes over the crowd -they begin. "The follow­ing preview has been approved for all audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America" displays in white lettering over a cartoonishly green background. 'From a black screen comes the incredible preview. One after the other, and each one is better than the first. Then after seeing that preview so many times and expecting so much -you see the movie, and what hap­pens? You get let down. Half the scenes_ in the preview, well, aren't even in the movie at all! Then the other half, the ones that seem like the funniest -they are the only actual funny parts of the whole movie! There is nothing more annoying than seeing a film and realizing the pre­view was the only good part. I remember a few years back with ''Down Periscope" there was a scene in the previews of a woman water skiing behind a submarine -but that wasn't even in the movie. I thought it was going to be funny to see sorrie chick skiing behind a submarine, but when I saw it, I was utterly dis­appointed. Same goes for a more recent film, "Stop Loss". There was a scene in the preview of the main female character laying on the beach, and to be a dude for a minute, I was looking forward to seeing her on the beach-but once again, it wasn't even in the movie! But then there are those times when you see a comedy, and the pre­view makes it look so damn hilarious that you just have to see it, but when you see it. . . That is one of my big­gest peeves -going to see a comedy and realizing that it could have been better just watching the preview -it's the most disappointing thing. When I saw the Will Farrell movie "Tal­ladega Nights ..." I felt so let down when I found that the only funny parts were all bunched together in the preview. I think it is about time someone writes a letter to the Motion Pic­ture Association of America. They need to know they are letting down so many viewers by the way they set up their previews. I mean, how upset are we going to be if Indiana Jones doesn't actually swing on his whip only to miss his landing and fall packwards through the windshield of a van? Come May, if that scene is not in the new Indiana Jones flick -I may just be the person to write that letter to the MPAA. I know that I've got some words for them -you should too. The warring vocals of "Cougar Idol" BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer CSUSM hosted its own American Idol spin off, "Cougar Idol," which was held Wednesday, April 16, at the Clark Field House. The competition gave brave contestants .a chance to sing a song oftheir choice in front of a large crowd and then be reviewed by the three judges on stage. The contestants were Christopher Kinley, Michelle Vogel, Jazmine Brown, Maya Meal ins, Jess Judson, Shaun Lalime, Christina Wright, Katie Dremin, Alexander Hoang, and Erika Ervin. Songs were sung from some ofthe contestant's favor­ite artists. A wide variety of songs were covered from famous artists such as Shania Twain, Incubus, and Rhianna. Even our own "Britney Spears" was nice enough to show up for her comical performance, which was very entertaining to the crowd. Songs were either sung with a back­track of the original version, aca­pella, or with the contestant playing his or her own instrument. The three judges gave their own feedback to every contestant after their performance, but our judges were a lot nicer than the ones on the actual American Idol. At the end of the event, everyone in the crowd was asked to circle the name of the contestant that they thought had given the best perfor­mance. Michelle Vogel won with her great performance of Carrie Under­wood's "Before · He Cheats," and Erika Ervin came in a close second with her excellent performance of a song by the Dreamgirls. First place prize was a $250 gift cer­tificate to Ticketmaster. The second place prize was two tickets to Disney­land, and third place got a gift certifi­cate for dinner and a movie. Overall, the event gave students a chance to really show off their musical talent and it is hoped that the same competi­tion will be put on next year and will be bigger and better than ever. THE PRIDE 12 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 SPORTS CSUSM Softball splits -with #1 CBU BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball ran into a few roadblocks last week, dropping five of six games against some tough competition. The highlight of the week however, occurred on Satur­day as the Cougars knocked off the NAIA #1 ranked Cal Baptist Lanc­ers in an extra-innings thriller. The Cougars started the week off with a pair oflosses against #2 Point Loma on Tuesday. In game one, the Cougars lost by a score of 8-0. IQ game two, the Cougars buckled down on defense, but couldn't manage to produce any runs-losing, 2-0. The Cougars came into Sat­urday looking to upset the 46-4 CBU Lancers, and did just that. Game one was a stalemate through the bottom of the ninth inning, where Karen Morizi scored the winning, and only run on a Shanti Poston walk-off RBI single. The win was a product of stellar Cougar defense anchored by pticher, Melissa Lerno's com­plete game two-hitter. Cal Baptist sought revenge in game two of the doubleheader, defeating the Cougars by a score of 10-0. The Cougars attempted to carry the momentum from the upset into Sunday's contest at UCSD, but were unsuccessful. Another defensive battle came forth in game.one, as the Cougars' defense held the game scoreless until the bottom of the sixth. The Cougars were unable to produce a run in the top of the seventh, losing the game 1-0. The Cougars were could not convert game two, losing 8-5. Despite the tough week, the Cougars remain in #4 spot region­ally according to the 4/21 NAIA Regional Top-10. The Cougars have four games remaining in the regular season, today at Hope International, and Friday at La Sierra. Photo by Tim Moore I The Pride Karen Morzi scores the winning run to defeat CBU in extra innings Diploma Dash Cancelled BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer The first annual Sk Diploma Dash organized by the Cal State San Marcos Athletics has been cancelled due to low registration numbers. The race was set to wrap around the campus in a five-kilo­meter course on Saturday, May 3 at5:00p.m. "We were very disappointed we had to cancel the event, how­ever, due to very low registration numbers leading into the last few weeks before the event date, and due to a very difficult budget time, we had to cancel the event," said Associate Director of Athletics Jennifer Milo. "Our department could not afford to lose money on this event, and because of the very low registration numbers we were headed down that road." Proceeds from the race would have gone towards scholarships for CSUSM athletes. "We are looking to try and launch this event again next Spring with a different date and a different starting time. The event will be held in typical Sk ''fash­ion" in the morning. We were going to try to hold this year's event in the late afternoon. This may be part of the reason for the low registration numbers, so we will go with the morning run for next year," added Milo. THE CENTRE FOR ADVANCED LASER AESTHETICS BE READY FOR BIKINI SEASON!

THE PRIDE Tuesday, April 22, 2008 13 SPORTS Fields of VlSIOll CSUSM athletic department looks to accommodate the demand ·for the athletic facilities on campus . BY ALEX HAND Pride Staff Writer Currently having ten thriving ath­letic programs, CSUSM's athletics department is looking to expand facili­ties and programs sometime in the near future. The recent release of the CSUSM Fields of Vision video is the first step in bringing new athletic facilities and pro­grams to the university. The video can be acce&sed at http://www.csusm.edu/ athletics/, and gives an overview of the plans for construction on the 25 acres of undeveloped land near the main entrance of campus. Although the university does eventu­ally plan on adding new athletic facilities that would bring on new programs such as men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball, the first priority is to cater to the current programs that are in need of a facility on campus. Associ­ate Director of Athletics for Develop­ment, Jennifer Milo stated that, "Base­ball and softball fields are top prio"rity, that's what we are hitting real hard on right now." Both the baseball and soft­ball teams are currently forced to play home games off campus at local high schools due to the lack of the facilities on campus. As previously mentioned, the video does highlight plans of adding new ath­letic facilities such as an arena and an aquatic center; which would provide two much needed facilities for the campus and. community. A new arena would make room for men's and women's bas­ketball as well as women's volleyball. The addition of these programs would allow for expansion well beyond the uni­versity. "Our main ultimate goal is to get into the NCAA as a division II member" says Jennifer Milo. By adding these two teams, the CSUSM athletic dept. would be able to make the move into the NCAA. There is currently no projected time­line for the project since the construc­tion of tbe facilities depends on fund­ing. Since no state funds can be used for athletic facilities, funding is primarily based on donations made by businesses and individuals in the community. On a positive note, the progress of the project will not be affected by the recent CSU budget cuts since state funding will not be used whatsoever. For a small campus like CSUSM, any­thing that adds to student life is benefi­cial for the campus. When asked what new facilities and new sports programs would do for the CSUSM community, Milo responded, "building up that front yard is huge for student life, students would be able to utilize the fields for rec. reality. The video· will ser.ve as a mar­sports as well." She went on to say that, keting package to show potential donors "This would add a huge element to our what is planned for the university. For school pride, and we would have people naming opportunities and donations actually bleeding our school colors." please contact Jennifer Milo, the Asso­ So with the video finished, the CSUSM ciate Director of Athletics for Devel­Athletic Dept. now has the first piece of opment at 760-750-7108 or at jmilo@ what they need to make their dream a csusm.edu. The Fields of Vision video released by the Athletics Department displays what could be the future of CSUSM's unused land.

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

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

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

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

The modern trend is to parody a genre or type of movie and title it as such, but the humor is not clever, thus making the f ilm unwatchable. The producers of these movies are more concerned with profits than making a decent film. Such is the case with "The Simpsons Movie." By slapping "The Simpsons" title on this flick, they conned countless people into seeing this awful film. If one were a true fan of "The Simpsons," they would not like this movie because it is so far of the elements that make the show great.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The tires used comefroma minivan, a sedan, a sports car, a garbage truck, an F-l, and a bulldozer.

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

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

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

Champagne, France owns exclusive rights to uSe the term champagne for their sparkling wine. The U.S. recognizes these rights in respect to President Carter's signature in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty. Therefore, the U.S. legally allows U.S. manufacturers of sparkling wine to name their product "champagne" if the manufacturer clearly •indicates the geographical location in which the sparkling wine originates on their bottles. Essentially, champagne and sparkling wine are synonymous in the product they describe, regardless of the lingo. Wilson Creek Almond Flavored California Champagne retails for $10.99 at BevMo. The 750 ML bottle has an 11% alcohol by volume and arrives from Woodbridge, CA. The champagne displays a faint blonde shade when poured into a glass generating bitter and sugary scents. The beverage begins smooth with flavors similar to marshmallows and almonds while finishing with a slight kick of bitterness. The quick transition from sweet to bitter creates a delightful treat for the taste buds. • To celebrate the many festivities and ' �A&E THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 6, 2005 15 Coldplay releases new single English rockers climb "Violet Hill" BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer Alternative British exports Coldplay have set their sights on June 17 as the official release date for their fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death AndAll His Friends. Though fans of the band have awhile to wait, they can delight in the generous unveiling of Viva's first single, "Violet Hill." Generosity may well be an understatement. On April 27, Coldplay revealed that they would release "Violet Hill" from the band's website entirely free of charge beginning on April 29 at 12:l3PM (4:15AM Pacific Time) for exactly one week. Unfortunately, the surprise announcement came too late for the Pride to inform our favorite Brit-pop-loving classmates of this fabulous freebie. Without any publicity, "Violet H iir is already receiving massive amounts of air- play worldwide. If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this morsel of musical bliss, you are in the right place to satiate your hunger before Viva hits iTunes. The song begins in a relatively expected way. Moody ambient guitar swims through a seemingly empty space in a rather lengthy 40-second intro. Suddenly, frontman Chris Martin's voice pierces through the foggy synth, "Was a long and dark December," not to be -confused with the Counting Crows song. The verse seems to settle into Coldplay's trademark heavyhanded piano only for a time, then a hairpin turn ensues in the form of Johnny Buckland's guitar coming down hard in the style of A Rush of Blood to the Head's "Politik." No real chorus exists but Martin's longing plea to a seemingly absent lover, "If you love me/Won't you let me know?" The verse to follow bears lyrics alluding to a war of sorts, "Priests clutched onto Bibles/ All rode out to fit theirrifles,"with sentiments concerning the fight akin to Keane's "A Bad Dream." Just past the halfway point, Buckland's guitar solo utilizes a sound that I, personally, have never heard out of these musicians. A simple vibe wins out in the end, conjuring a sight of Martin sitting solemnly alone calling out to his lost love. The single ultimately delivers a song structure like that of X&Y's "Square One:" a hushed intro, commanding verses, and a lullaby of a wrap-up. If Coldplay isn't your scene, Viva may just be the turning point. Rumored album elements include Middle Eastern percussion, Latininfluenced rhythms, looped electronic riffs, and Martin's newfound deeper vocals. Judging by Viva's free sample single, no one truly knows what to expect from the dynamic genius of Coldplay. Photo courtesyofAmazon.com review: Flobots M usicar f usion on y our s tereo BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On televisions nationwide, the people can hear the perpetual sound of police sirens as "Grand Theft Auto IV" hit shelves April 29. Just in time to divert students during finals week, this offers addicting game play, similar to the previous titles in the series. Also similar to the previous games, the gamer plays as a criminal diving deep into the world of crime. GTAIV takes place in Liberty City, similar to New York City, and follows a character named Niko, a Serbian immigrant who is looking for success. His past as a soldier in the Bosnian War defines his actions as he is air unforgiving person who uses violence to climb the crime ladder. Though he cares about his cousin Roman, his true motivation is money. The objectives of the game are to steal cafs, avoid the police, and do nefarious deeds for money, much like the other games in the series. The first feature .that sets this, game apart is the depth of the map. The game is set on the islands of Liberty City, where the creators heightened the detail as compared to other games. The environment is much more interactive and more buildings are accessible, adding to the realism. Images courtesy ofgamedaily.com The game has a slightly cartoon look, but the graphics are smooth and it is a visual treat. Tactics are also a new part of the game, as the "rush-in, shoot 'em up" style will get the character killed. Players must use cover and the right weapon per situation to complete a mission. The game is available for Playstation 3, but it is oh the XBOX 360 where this game shines. Players can enjoy the numerous achievements to build their gamer score on XBOX Live. As well, there is a new multi-player element to the game. Online play can range from cooperative campaign play, racing through the city streets, to an all out urban brawl. This offers gamers more for their money. However, one could not address this game without a word of warning. GTA IV is an incredibly violent game and is not meant for children. Though young ones should not be playing M-Rated games such as Halg or Assassin's Creed anyway, this one is different because it is so realistically violent and contains strong adult themes including sex and drugs. Players should remember that it is just a game, and should contemplate if the lack of morals in the game makes it worthwhile. GTA IV is certainly a wellmade game and it has raised the bar for video game potential. Yet due to the content, players must think before they play. As I drove down the freeway, I listened to the radio and flipped through local rock stations trying to find anything worth listening to. I stopped on 91X because I heard the radio host saying that he was about to play new music. The song he played was called "Handlebars" by Flobots. As the song started all that was playing was a week plucking of a violin and a guy singing about how he can ride a bike without holding on the handlebars. The song didn't sound very promising, but I am very glad that I did not change the station. As the song went oh it exploded into a combination of a very impressive rap song combined with a rock feel to it. When it was over I literally sat in my car with goosebumps. I was instantly hooked. The second I got home, I looked up their album titled, "Fight With Tools," and listened to every track on iTunes. Each song hit me, and I realized that this would be the new album that I fall in love with. I instantly bought it and have not stopped playing it since. Flobots is made up of 7 very talented musicians: two emcees, base guitarists, a drummer, viola, and trumpet player. They doavery goodjob at combining the feel of a rock song with the steady flow of a hip-hop song. Throughout their album the soft horns and violins compliment their use'of steady heavy beats in the background. I am usually not into political music but pretty much every song talks about an important issue that takes place in our world. Their lyrics, which talk about such issues as 9/11, Katrina, or the war in Iraq, not only criticize these issues but also talk about positive things that can be done to improve our way of life. I was a little hesitant when I found out their album preached ' about some of these events because many times hip-hop artists can stray from the real meaning of these issues in their songs, but Flobots do no such thing. I believe the track "Handlebars" is the best overall track with its exceptional blend of eerie lyrics and massive back-' ground drums, guitar, and violin. Other great tracks on the album include "Same Thing," "Rise," and "Mayday!!!" Flobots' perfect blend of rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album that you definitely need to check . out. v ^ �Tuesday; May 6, 2008 THE PRIDE By Tim Moore f Pride Stcgf Writer AIKEN by album sales, brings youtosfifthstudio release eek* off of their 1998 album "Stuà The dbum'sfirstsingle is the 6He track, *0n My Way Here. first children's' album.

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

Gmail boasts improved quality BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer Returning students are in for a surprise when they first check their school e-mail accounts this semester. As a result of increased enrollment and more communication via the Internet, the Instructional and Information Technology Services (IITS) chose to make a permanent switch to Gmail during the summer of2008. Since 1995, CSUSM has offered free e-mail accounts for its students. The system was relatively basic compared to the more advanced (and universally free) Yahoo, Google, and MSN e-mail services. With more and more students sending large e-mail attachments, IITS started making sweeps through the university's server and deleting old emails so as to keep some space free. Eventually the students outgrew SquirrelMail so Gmail took over. The biggest modification is certainly the obvious "yourname@ csusm.edu" changing to "yourname@cougars.csusm.edu." Other than that, IITS promises only improvements. Rather than occasionally deleting old e-mails, Gmail provides 6.5 gigabytes of storage, which is apparently increasing by the minute. Luckily, until December 31, 2008, mail sent to old accounts automatically forwards to Gmail preventing anything from getting lost in the cyber-shuffle. However, the wise option is to make sure important contacts know of the switch as soon as possible. Advantages to Gmail compared to CSUSM's past e-mail server extend beyond campus life. The account provided by Gmail is for life, as long as current students obtain diplomas. Google Apps has downloadable software that facilitates e-mail access from Blackberries, iPhones, and other J2ME enabled phones. Also, Gmail comes with a calendar that can send out text message reminders for upcoming events. Unfortunately, some students have received and continue to receive e-mails claiming to be from the university concerning the switch to Gmail.

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

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

I've been involved with layout design since my sophomore year in high school. I'm a pre-nursing student taking my prerequisites for the nursing program and looking to become a Registered Nurse. I spend my time working on The Pride, going to class and now volunteering at Palomar hospital. My spare time is slim to none now that school has started. When I have some, I go to work with my brother at Fortress Coftiputer Pros to learn ho to build and fix computers. My hobbies include motocross, photography and Applescript, in that order. Rudy Martinez Assistant Layout Editor My name is Rudy Martinez and since I am too lazy to write my own introduction I have asked someone who knows me better than I know myself to do it. I am currently 23 years old and have a passion for anything to do with technology, which explains the fact that I am a business major with an emphasis in information systems. When I'm not doing the layout for the paper, working at the student help desk, or at school, I am at home playing video games or doing other mindless activities, which definitely does not include my homework. Tiffanie Hoang Copy Editor I am the copy editor. I like watching Planet Earth when David Attenborough is narrating. I put it on mute when the other lady talks. I like Boris Pasternak, Vladimir Nobokov, and Rachmaninoff. I like all of them. I also think Arrested Development is/was the best show and i t's a scandal that it was taken off the air.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Duck portrays a skeptical taxpayer who is convinced by a radio broadcast when he learns how important income taxes are to the military. In a later Gallup Poll, approximately 37% of the 26 million people who saw the film reported an increased willingness to pay taxes. Disney's attempts to dehumanize wartime efforts are virtually parallel to Pixar putting a humorous, friendly slant on the unproved theories of certain politicians and scientists. The entire premise of the film rests on how consumerism and environmental neglect will be the ultimate demise of man. At best, this film should be deemed a satire. Could I have it all wrong? Could Pixar actually have purposely gone overboard in their depiction of the future?

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

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com �Tuesday, September 9, 2008 From NCLR, page 1 sary of NCLR's origination. The event, held July 12-15, included speeches from NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguia, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. Thefrenzyof a politically driven event was visiblefromthe windows of the convention center. Throngs of protesters and supporters alike gathered on opposing sides of the street. Media vans lined the loading zones with police officers positioned outside the entrances like maitre ds. Thousands of people lined up, some having paid hundreds in donations, to hear Obama speak on Sunday, July 13. After an introduction from Maggie Rodriguez, CoAnchor for the CBS Early Show, the presumptive Democratic nominee took the stage. True to form, those in attendance received his message with applause, cheers and tears. Obama elaborated on his well-stapled message of change by adding that the system currently in place has not and does not work, especially for the minorities in this country. "The system isn't working when a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or doesn't graduate at all. Or when a young person at the top of her class - a young person with so much to offer this country - can't attend a public college," Obama said. After promising to be the right candidate tofightfor a better America for everyone, Obama also called upon the Latino community to help in making that happen. "I know how powerful this community is. Just think how powerful you could be on Nov. 4th if you NEWS lllj translate your numbers into votes," Obama noted. He added that in 2008, an estimated 170,000 Latinos in New Mexico alone were not registered to vote. "I'm not taking a single Latino vote for granted in this campaign. We're meeting with Latino leaders across the country. We're reaching out to Latino organizations to get input on my policy proposals. We've got a nationwide Hispanic media strategy. We're recruiting and training Latino organizers. We're holding Latino voter registration drives across America. And when I'm President, I'll be asking many of you to serve at every level of government." McCain spoke at the conference the following day focusing on the economy and immigration policies. Although his entrance was met with protestorsfromthe back of the room, McCain quickly gained the attention of the guests in attendance outlining his agenda. "A recent report says small businesses have created 233,000jobs so far this year while other sectors are losing jobs. Small businesses are the job engine of America, and I will make it easier for them to grow and create more jobs," McCain said. "There are two million Latino owned businesses in America, many of them started by Latinas. The first consideration we should have when debating tax policy is how we can help those companies grow and increase the prosperity of the millions." McCain also responded to comments made against him by Obama a day earlier regarding immigration policies in reference to a comment McCain made stating that he would not support his own legislation if it came up for a vote. "My campaign (on immigration reform) was written off as a From TUKWUT, page 1 From R NC, page 1 briefly. Then Alex Hoang conducted his speech. He described afictionalscene of a real tukwut and her cubs freely roaming the grounds that CSUSM rests on 200 to 300 years ago. The audience seemed to enjoy his speech. "Fellow students.. .the Tukwut Courtyard is yours...it represents the promise of where we came from, the success we have achieved today and the prosperity that is to come. The integrity of our courtyard stands in the preservation of the name Tukwut," he said. Sam Fernandez, American Indian Student Alliance President and Neal Hoss, Vice President of University Advancement spoke as well. Lastly, Robert Freeman who constructed the Tukwut Statue explained how the statue was built. ' The statue is going to get you. He is crouched and ready to pounce," he said in a playful tone. "It was a nice opportunity to hear about the native America influence at CSUSM and to learn the background and meaning of [Tukwut]," said kinesiology senior CaitlmAmiton. Dozens of students, faculty and staff, and tribal representatives rushed the Tukwut Statue after the ceremony ended. Flashes and smiles quickly occupied the previously covered statue. Rather than appear at the convention however, President Bush made his address to the convention via satellite transmission. "I know the hard choices that fall solely to a president," said Bush. "John McCain's life has prepared him to make those choices. He is ready to lead this nation." On Sep. 3, the Republican delegates voted almost unanimously to officially nominate McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, concluding a lightly contested primary season for the Republican nominee. According to Nielsen Media Research, a record 38.9 viewers tuned into McCain's acceptance speech, with the convention averaging 34.5 million viewers YY THE PRIDE LI lost cause. I did so not just because I believed it was the right thing to do for Hispanic Americans. It was the right thing to do for all Americans. Senator Obama declined to cast some of those tough votes," McCain noted. "He voted for and even sponsored amendments that were intended to kill the legislation, amendments that Senator Kennedy and I voted against I never ask for any special privileges from anyone just for having done the right thing. Doing my duty to my country is its own reward. But I do ask for your trust that when I say, I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean i t I think I have earned that trust." Following his speech, McCain opened thefloorto questions from the audience. With issues ranging from the Dream Act back to immigration, McCain admitted that while they may disagree with his stances, he was willing to sit down and discuss similar issues again. In conjunction with the convention, was the 2008 Latino Expo, which featured boothsfroma wide array of sponsored companies and organizations such as ConAgra Foods, Lowes, Latinos for Obama, and Estamos Unidos McCain. The four-day event clearly was a celebration ofLatino culture and the forty years spent by NCLR advocating the rights of a growing minority. In her speech at the convention, Murguia outlined her vision of a better America and the importance of the Latino vote on the upcoming election. "This is an historic election. It is not only historic for the make up of the candidates who are running; it is historic for the role we will play in it," the NCLR President and CEO said. "Sixteen weeksfromtoday, on Nov. 4,2008,1 promise you America will hear our voice loudly and clearly in state after state across this country." throughout the 4-day event. At various points in McCain's address, protesters in the crowd caused somewhat of an uproar. Adam Kokesh, a formal Marine corporal and Iraq War veteran, interrupted McCain's speech, yelling, "Ask him why he votes against vets", A prominent critic of the war in Iraq, Kokesh also displayed a large sign that said on one side, "McCain votes against vets," and on the other, "You c an't win an occupation." Security personnel apprehended Kokesh and released him shortly t hereafter with no charges. A group of code pink protesters were also escorted out of the convention after attempting to interrupt McCain's speech. The Republican crowd responded to these protesters by chanting "U.S.A." and McCain jokingly referred to the protesters as "the ground noise and the static." While McCain did not reserve criticism for Obama, he did say of his democratic rival, "Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, an association that means more to me than any other." Of his new running mate, McCain remarked, "I'm very proud to have introduced our next Vice President to the country. But I can't wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do-nothing, mefirst, country-second Washington crowd: change is coming." Having been confirmed as the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote earlier that day, Palin said in her speech to the convention, "Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States...I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America." Palin's speech included some barbs directed at Obama. Contrasting her experience as mayor of Wasila to Obama's experience as a community organizer, Palin said, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities." The presidential candidates will meet later this month on Sept. 26 at the University of Mississippi's Gertrude C. Ford Center in Oxford, Mississippi for the first televised presidential debates of the general election season. will take place Tuesday Sept. 9 during University Hour in Commons 206.

The CSUSM Career Center located in Craven Hall 1400 offers an endless amount of resources, personnel and opportunities to enhance every student's academic and f uture career. "The career center offers a lot of resources that students j ust don't take advantage of," said Pamela Santos, a student assistant at the career center.

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

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

Located on San Marcos Boulevard near . Highway 78 in the shopping center with Best Buy, NYPD serves fresh handmade pizza daily. The attention to detail, quality ingredients, and customer service make this a great place to eat. NYPD offers several different types of pizza to meet anyone's taste. They serve the classic cheese pizza, which can have a wide number of toppings added. This includes meats, such as pepperoni, vegetables, and others, including anchovies. In addition, they have over a dozen specialty pizzas. These range from traditional pizzas such as meat lovers to some unique creations. Some of the other highlights are the Alf redo pizza and the Buffalo chicken pizza. Both pay fair tribute to their original dish combining all theflavorsinto a delicious pizza. Besides pizza, NYPD offers many other delicious dishes. They put the same craftsmanship into the sandwiches and calzones that they do their pizza. Also available is a selection of salads for those looking for something on the lighter side. And the chicken wings are incredible. They are on par with some of the best served in Buffalo because of their The staff and manager, Babak is an excellent place to eat again greatflavorand texture.

The atmosphere of NYPD is also pleasant. It may be small on the inside, but the decorations bring life to the story. The prices are fair, based on the quality and the number of specials available, such as 99 cent slices of pizza on Monday and Wednesday and 2 for 1 Tuesdays.

Rush Week 2008 Greek community gears up for recruitment BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor With Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment Week officially under way, the Greek organizations on campus will be holding a host of events in order to promote their respective chapters and to give interested students a chance to get to know the organizations. With two f raternities and three sororities it is important to learn what each organization is all about before deciding which one to rush.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"This new budget is just the most recent example of chronic underfunding of our state university system," said Taiz, a professor of history at CSU Los Angeles.

Each semester, CSUSM invites peace activists to speak to the campus community on the current issues in foreign diplomacy. On Tuesday, Sept 30, Colonel Ann Wright will address her concerns regarding the rape and sexual assault ofJapanese women BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor Sept. 21 marked the International Day of Peace, a call for global action in support of a full day of peace and cease fire. Originally intended to occur on the third Tuesday of September, the General Assembly announced ¡pi Wfvi Photo retreivedfrom thewe.cc by U.S. military personnel in Japan from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clarke Field House. Wright, a retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, is most notably recognized for her candid disagreement to the Iraq War and her public resignation to protest the invasion of Iraq back in 2003. Since her retirement, Wright has become a prominent figure as a peace activist, working alongside other prominent activists such as Cindy Sheehan, who spoke at CSUSM last semester. Last spring, she was a keynote speaker at an event in Japan led by local activists to increase awareness regarding the sexual assault of Japanese women by American soldiers. Established in 1981 by the Snmiy image courtesy of Internationaldayofpeace.org United N ations, Peace Day is intended to provide people around the world the opportunity to collectively partake in acts of peace on a specific date. The event is co-sponsored by the Women's Studies Program, Communication Department, ASI Women's Center, Clark Field House,, the Psychology Department, and College ofArts and Sciences Dean's Associates.

Haynes, she states that while serving as Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services from Jan. 2005-2008, Hoss "created an environment for continuous improvement and administrative productivity. His capable leadership, close ties to our external community and friends, and knowledge of the CSU system will place University Advancement and the Uni- versity in a strong position as we near our 20th anniversary." Hoss has worked at other colleges across the San Diego region including the University of San Diego as well as UC San Diego in University Advancement for four and a half years. He also served as Chief Financial Officer for the UCSD Foundation. Haynes also announced that she would begin her search for a Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services in October, citing Vice President Pat Worden to chair the search. The current VP for Finance and Administrative Services, Linda Hawk, will continue her term until the search is completed during the summer of 2009. Fall 2009 will mark the beginning of the search for a new Vice President for Student Affairs, as Worden, the current VP, will resign from the position in summer 2010. Educational Effectiveness Review underway Effective Oct. 1, Neal Hoss will official begin his role as Vice President for University Advancement.

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

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

"Higher education is part of the solution to a troubled economy. Cuts to the California State University undermine California's economy, undermine revenue to the state, and undermine our ability to compete in a global economy," Taiz said. "The importance ofhigher education to the state's future is not lost entirely on our state legislators and the governor. In response to intense pressure by supporters of the CSU, they restored some $97 million to the CSU system in the May budget revision.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The relationships were estab­lished through the interest and commitment of a few people and have evolved into some formal relationships that involve scores ofindividuals across all divisions and colleges at the University. An acknowledgment of the California Indians came in 1968 when Governor Ronald Reagan signed a resolution calling for the fourth Friday of each Sep­tember to be American Indian Day. It was hoped that this acknowledgment would help to inform the general public about Native American heritage and the problems that are confronted by Native American in Califor­nia.

Mrs. Obama stressed the importance ofvoter registration and participation as well as touched upon issues concerning young Americans: college tuition, healthcare, global warming, and the war in Iraq. "Young voters will make a huge difference in this election, so make sure that you're registered to vote. And then tell your friends, class­mates, and families to register as 13th annual Oaxacan cultural Festival: Guelaguetza 2008 · For more pictures see page 8 well.

The website allows citizens across the country a place to regis­ter for the first time, confirm their registration status, and get essen­tial absentee voting information for their state. Mrs. Obama told college report­ers that young voters have the power to change "the world as it is," and "the world as it should be." She also stated ''No matter who you're supporting, make your voice heard." Obama v. McCain: First 2008 Presidential Debate BY BEN ROFFEE Managing Editor Friday, Sept. 26 -Senators McCain and Obama shared the national stage for 90 minutes their first presidential debate as the nominees of their respec­tive parties. The University of Mississippi hosted the debate with PBS' Newshour anchor Jim Lehrer standing in as mod­erator. The economic crisis, which has dominated the nation's attention in recent days, threat­ened to postpone Friday's debate. Senator McCain sus­pended his campaign earlier this week to return to Wash­ington and help forge a resolu­tion on the government bailout plan. Senator Obama also par­ticipated in talks on the bail­out plan in the capitol, but he insisted that the debate con­tinue as scheduled. As talks the debate approached and Congress seemed close in on a plan, Sen- PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ator McCain opted to continue on with the debate. In a statement released the day of the debate, Sept. 26, Senator McCain's camp said, "The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon." Though the economic crisis did not delay the debate, it did have a profound impact on what was discussed between the candi­dates. While originally slated to focus on foreign policy matters, economic crisis stole some of the spotlight at the debate. Modera­tor Jim Lehrer's first question to the two candidates was about the financial recovery plan and he did not move on to foreign policy until nearly 40 minutes later. Over the course of the 90 minute debate, the two candi­dates discussed everything from the proposed bailout plan, tax policy, alternative energy, Iraq, Iran, the Russia/Georgia conflict, meeting with foreign leaders. One of the most explosive topics between the two candi­dates was that of meeting with foreign leaders without precon­ditions. Senator McCain said of the matter ", This is dangerous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The highprofile Last T hursday, Oct. 2, A merican Democracy Project hosted first Pizza and Politics event for the Fall 2009 semester during University Hour. The small room filled with approximately 60-70 students and CSUSM staff with the focus of the 45-minute discussion on Obama and McCain's presidential campaigns and debate further emphasized the polarity between the Republican and Democratic parties. While the majority of dialogue focused on the financial crisis of late, both candidates confidently supported their running mates' policies. Gwen Ifill, senior correspondent for PBS's The NewsHour,; moderated Thursday's debate. Though her prepared questions spanned every aspect of the respective candidates' campaigns, Palin and Biden focused on addressing the economic crisis, energy, and the war in Iraq. The 90-minute broadcast pitted a seasoned Sen. Biden against D.C. freshman Gov. Palin, who admittingly joked, "How long have I been at this, like,fiveweeks?" Although Biden's years of experience may contribute to his credibility, Palin's persona garnered a few laughs from the otherwise silent audience. A trend among both Palin and Biden was their polite refusal to respond to Ifill's direct topic suggestions. Immediately following Palin'sfirstrebuttal, Biden preferred to continue discussing McCain and his views on the stability of the maiket. Biden stated, "That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch." Palin focused on her running mate's strengths rather than stress disagreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

CSUSM students get political General election less than a month away BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor With the country's national election just weeks away, the campus is making preparations of its own to generate buzz among the local community. Today, during University Hour in Academic Hall 102, the presidents of CSUSM's College Democrats and Republicans will face off in a mock election debate co sponsored by the American d emocracy Project. Tonight, CSUSM students will appear on television at 6 p.m. in a debate held at the Escondido City Council Chambers.

"To my knowledge this is the very first College Democrat v College Republican debate on campus," ADP Director, Professor Pamela Strieker said.

Sergio Cruz will represent the College Democrats and Obama's position while Chasen Bullock represents McCain and the College Republicans. Professor Cynthia Metoyer will serve as moderator for the event. The prepared questions regard issues such as climate change, the economy, education, energy security, health care, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Debate Questions (provided by the America Democracy Project) Climate Change According to the current US Environmental Protection Agency website, "For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse." What specific policy solutions do you have to deal with climate change (both human-caused and natural)? (Source-US Environmental Protection Agency website, accessed Sept 2008).

That's 25% of the world's oil consumption. Oil production in the United States peaked in the 1970s (both on and offshore). This year 80 percent of our oil has been imported (from Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc). How specifically will you reduce America's dependence on foreign oil?

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

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

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

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

Don't laugh, they will do it BY BRIAN MANN Pride Staff Writer Let's be honest. Since their inception in 1998 as an expansion team, the Tampa Bay Rays (formerly known as the Devil Rays) have been downright awful. Annually, they have been among the worst teams in baseball. Their payroll is almost always near the bottom of the pile. It seemed as though they would forever be a bottomfeeder given their seeming unwillingness to spend money to acquire proven talent. Who cared anyway? They were Tampa Bay, baseball Siberia, an expansion mistake with absolutely no history. Until this year. The Rays have exploded onto the seen«, and, quite impressively, amassed one of the best records in baseball. This year marks their first-ever division title and their first-ever playoff appearance. Over the course of the season, they have shown that they can win a nd win big doing it their way. They won a division, the American League East that also includes the high-payroll New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Rays have enjoyed great - success from young players with high-end talent, but because of these players'-youth and inexperience, they are relatively inexpensive. In comparison with* the remaining three teams l eft, the Rays have an advantage over each one. Their American League Championship Series opponent, the Boston Red Sox, have injury issues, particularly with clutch pitcher Josh Beckett. The National League contestants have flaws as well. The Philadelphia Phillies rely too much on strong hitting at their home ballpark, which is very small and strongly favors hitters. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the least flawed, other than the Rays, but they seem a bit divided as a team. They have an awkward mix of young and old players who have had differences with each other in baseman Carlos Pena. Couple recent seasons. this exciting young talent with The Rays have none of these a confident attitude and the problems.

Ultimately, good scouting and d rafting of amateur players is the most cost-effective way to build a quality team. This year's Rays team is proof positive. They have supplemented this smart drafting philosophy with intelligent trades to acquire young up-and-comers such as pitcher Scott Kazmir and f irst Schilling, speaking of the Rays, said "The start to respectability is as much an attitude as it is talent." Agreed, but the Rays are way beyond respectability at this point. They're about to be world champions.

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

The Haunted Hayride is a PG rated scare for the whole family, though it may not be appropriate for small children. Riders sit huddled together on a tractor-pulled hay wagon while being stalked by ghost and zombies. The Chamber is a themed labyrinth that is haunted by La Llorone, a ghost from south of the border who is searching for her lost children. The Chamber is more suspense driven than any of the other attractions and is sure to deliver spine-tingling thrills. The House of Horror is the scariest of die three and is not recommended for children under the age of 10. The house features frightening scenes of gory terror and bloody graphics. The House of Horror is designed as a house with a series of themed rooms that thrill seekers must walk though. The eight rooms include the Funeral Home Room, the E lectrocution room and the Butcher shop. Each room is slightly more frightening than the one San Diego is notorious for having high Halloween spirits because, of the variety of attractions it offers for the haunting season, and this year San Diego is hosting four major Halloween attractions throughout the city, each with a unique theme that is sure to give a good scare. In Del Mar the Scream Zone delivers thrills, Mira Mesa hosts Monster Manor, Balboa Park has the Haunted Trail and Downtown San Diego presents the Haunted Hotel. Following a trail of blood through a dreary hallway and hearing chainsaws humming in the background as a head rolls across the floor leaves no doubt that the Delmar Scream Zone has arrived. Set at the Delmar F air m D INE IN > C ARRY OUT D ELIVERY before it, and each room offers a surprise twist. The Scream Zone is open nightly from 7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 23 thru Nov.l and open on selected dates beginning Sept. 26. Parking is free at the Delmar Fair grounds after 7 p.m. but each attraction has its own ticket price. The triple combo costs $27.99, while a double admission to the Chamber and either the Haunted Hayride or House of Horror is $18.99 or each individual event is priced at $14.99. More information can be found at www.sdfair.com/screamzone. Monster Manor is the ghost of the Ghastley family home. As the story goes, every autumn the house appears out of the ashes where it formerly stood. The local children called the house Monster Manor before it burned down under mysterious circumstances family inside. Many try to enter the Manor each year and the Ghastley family haunt, taunt and scare the unwelcome guests. Monster Manor is an intense attraction and is not appropriate for children under the age of 13. However the Monster Manor does host Lite Fright for younger audiences. In this adventure friendly Buccaneers enlist the children's help in a hunt for lost treasure. Lite Fright is on Oct. 18-19 and 25-26 from noon to 4 p.m. and admission is $5. The regular Night Haunt is Oct. 17-18 and 24-31, excluding Monday. Regular admission is $10 at the door. More information can be found at www.monstermanor. org. The Haunted Trail at Balboa Park is a more interactive experience than the Scream Zone. The Haunted Trail is an outdoor walk through wooded areas with haunted graveyards and actors staged as ghosts and other frightening characters. The attraction was made to thrill all the senses. Haunting tunes are played while patrons walk through the creepy scenes to keep them looking over their shoulder, and the natural moonlight 99 ( Ë gives it an added / e ie^ ment o f s pookiness for a night that is no walk in the park. New this year to the Haunted Trail is the Carnival of Carnage. Guests are chased by demented clowns while trying to get out of the polka doted curtain room in this twisted take on a childhood favorite. Balboa Park's Haunted Trail is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Sept.26 thru Nov.l and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Special hours are set for the Halloween weekend. Tickets cost $14.99 and can be purchased at the door. The Haunted Hotel is ably the most frightening the Halloween attracin San Diego. At the H aunted Hotel, horror movies are brought to life with special effects that make the scenes appear frighteningly real. Movies such as "Hostel", "Saw II" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" have been used in the past, and every year the event features different movies. Due to the intense nature of the attraction, pregnant women, those with heart conditions and children under the age of 10 will not be admitted. The Haunted Hotel is located in the Gaslamp District and is open from Sept. 26 to Nov. 1, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and it has special hours for Halloween weekend.

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

Clark was indicted on first-degree murder charges on Wednesday, October 8th in Denver. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones reportedly got into an altercation with his bodyguard at a Dallas hotel. Police were called but no charges were filed.

Soccer Recap ¡j ^ m I fSl j p mi M S V*/W Cougar Cross-Country Shines at Vanguard; Men and Women Take 2nd Cougar cross-country lived up to its lofty national ranking on Saturday, as the #3-ranked women and #5-ranked men both finished second at the Vanguard Invitational. Competing in chilly conditions against a field chocked f ull of NAIA top-25 teams, both CSUSM squads managed to place only behind Azusa Pacific in the standings. APU's women's team is ranked #2, and their men are ranked #3. Dallon Williams, as she has done all season, led the Cougar women in Saturday's 5K. The senior star runner followed up her record-breaking performance at Riverside with another brilliant race, running 17:25 to place second overall. Not far behind was fellow senior Morgan Sjogren, who nearly joined Williams in breaking 18 minutes, but settled for 18:01. Up-and-coming sophomore Jessica Sandoval made it a trio of Cougars in the top-10, running 18:17 to place 10th. True freshman Cady Villarreal ran a solid race, placing 15th with a time of 18:44. Rounding out the top-5 was Sin Carrano, who ran 18:48 to take 17th. Unbelievably, CSUSM nearly had 7 runners finish under 19-minutes, despite the tough conditions. Lindsey McKown and Whitney Patton just missed the mark, running 19:02 and 19:03 to finish 24th and 25th, respectively. Also competing for the Cougars were Suzanne Scrimenti (29th; 19:10), Stephanie cook (40th; 19:53), Jen Reinagel (41st; 19:56), Cassidy Reich (57th; 20:46), Monika Valenzuela (68th; 21:07), Brooke Smith (73rd; 21:23), Christina Cooper (76th; 21:54), Niki Thomas (85th; 22:25), Mallory Bawkey (87th; 22:44), and Erin Hearn (88th; unspecified violation of team rules.

On the men's side, the Cougars' formula for success remained the same as its been all year: solid, consistent (if not spectacular) times from everyone in the tpo-5. While the men don't have a breakout star like Williams or Sjogren, they run remarkably good and consistent times from race to race. This differs from the last couple seasons, when the Cougar men have had the star power but not necessarily the depth. In both 2006 and 2007, CSUSM finished a disappointing 9th at Nationals; this year's team has quietly positioned itself to improve on that. Leading the way on Saturday was Dave Edwards, who ran a strong 26:08 on the 8K course. Amazingly, the team's next four runners finished in order, starting with Tony Guadagnini running 26:21 to take 14th. Finishing 15th was Alex Guaderrama at 26:22. In 16th was Kyle Hughes at 26:26. And at 17th was Matt Leetch, who ran 26:29 to cap off the impressive team showing. This year's team also possesses the depth that has been lacking iji previous years. If any of the above runners had faltered, Leo Elorza's 21st place finish at 26:39 wouldn't have hurt the squad at all. Also competing were Andrew Lang (37th; 27:26), Hank Carl (44th, 28:00), Miguel Vega (48th; 28:03), Antonio Sanchez (53rd; 28:10), Thomas Polhill (64th; 29:20), and Weston Ryan (73rd; 30:50). Cougar cross-country will be competing on campus next Saturday at the Cougar Challenge! Woman 3-0. Men 1-1 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Cougars Soccer had a successful road trip this weekend, with both the Men going 1-1 and the Women going undefeated 3-0 throughout the week. On the brink of going over the .500 margin for the second time this season, the Men's Soccer team just fell short moving their record to 5-6-1. Traveling up the coast this past weekend, the Cougars played S.F. State, where both teams came out strong scoring goals almost immediately. In the 4th minute SFSU's Mario Hernandez hit a corner kick in the box, which ended up being scored by Killian LeDuke to give them the 1-0 lead. Just 5 minutes later, co-captain Chris Wyatt scored an equalizer from 25 yards out to beat the keeper. The 1-1 tie carried all the way into the 2nd half, when in the 71st minute the Cougars fouled a member of SFSU in the box and scored on a penalty kick after defender Trey Whitaker was sent off with a red card. The Cougars couldn't get an equalizer and lost 2-1. In their 2nd game of the road trip, the Cougars moved their record back to .500 with a 1-0 win over Cal State Monterey Bay. In the 14th minute, Michael Nuovo found senior co-captain Greg Reese, who scored on a shot off the right post to give the Cougars the only score of the game. Keeper Tashi Nakanishi made 5 saves in the game to maintain the shutout. Women's Soccer needed a 2nd half comeback to win over Chapman University 2-1, in the only home game of the week for the Cougars. After coming off a loss the Cougars are now ranked #13 nationally. The Cougars out shot Chapman 12-2 in thefirsthalf but once again could not capitilize and would trail 1-0 going into the 2nd half. In the 55th minute, Taylor Ziencina, who has been hitting phenomenal corners all year, hit another deadly pass into seldomused defender Lauren Hernandez who headed it in for the equalizer. Finally in the 72nd minute, athlete of the month Katelyn Krauss made a great run at midfield and found Ziencina who scored the game winner after the defense did not allow a shot on goal in the 2nd half. In their 1st game of the road trip, the Cougars clawed SFSU 2-1 in another great victory. After another corner kick by Ziencina, Breanna Brenton, a solid back line defender, scored in the 28th minute t o give the Cougars the 1-0 lead early. Krauss gave the Cougars a much-needed insurance goal coming off a penalty kick in the 65th minute, which ended up being the game winner, after the Cougars allowed a late goal in the 88th minute. Women's Soccer improved their record to 9-2-2 after a dominating victory against CSU East Bay 3-0. Katelyn Krauss added another goal in what has been an impressive week for the athlete of the month in September to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. The Cougars would add on two more goals in the 2nd half, one by Lauren Johnson to seal the deal and earn the Cougars their 3rd win of the week. Brittni Salomon pitched the shutout for the Cougars as well. Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer A round of applause is in order for everybody who participated in the Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball leagues held at the Clark Fieldhouse over the past couple weeks. But like all sports, we have to give special praise to the teams who managed to strive above the rest and make it to the finals. For basketball we had the Fab 5 play off against the ZBT Shockers. In a great game the Fab 5 managed to come out ahead, getting first place for this season. "It was a great game on both parts and all the players deserve recognition" says Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation. But it wasn't over for the ZBT Shockers. Not one to sit on the sidelines, they also made it all the way through to the finals in the Dodgeball league. In the final game against Los Peloteros they came out ahead, grabbing the title of CSUSM Dodgeball champions. Los Peloteros played hard, but apparently the ZBT Shockers played harder. All the staff working at the Clark Fieldhouse wish to invite you to participate in the upcoming Flag Football and 3-on-3 Women's Basketball leagues.

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

Legend's Sports Bar and Grill recently opened in the Ralph's shopping center on Twin Oaks Road, across from the school. It is located in the Grappa restaurant building, which owner Garo Minassian split to include a sports bar. The former Grappa building still contains the pizza and pasta restaurant, but Minassian said he wanted to open a place for students who wanted to watch games in a less upscale environment. He said, "it's has a nice and clean atmosphere and is student and family friendly." The handful of televisions boasts high definition showings of ESPN and sporting events.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Vertical Epic in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos, California, in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to meet increased customer demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Chairman and CEO Cireg Kock and President and Brewmaster Steve Wagner originally met in 1989. While attending a class at UC Davis both realized their shared interests in the art of craft brewing. BevMo retails the 1 Pt. 6 Fl. Oz. bottle of ale for $6.49. The dark brown glass bottle features the name of the brew and information in white and gold stenciling. A gold bottle cap seals the ale with a 8.6% a lcohol bv tenders and nachos. The chicken wings were slightly disappointing. They smelled wonderful and came nicely presented on their plate. However, the sauce was off balance and the chicken required a bit more time cooking as they lacked crispness. As well, Legend's overpriced them at $6.95 for six wings. Other menu items include salads, wraps, pizzas, and hamburgers. The Vi lb. cheeseburger at $8.95 offered a great deal. The burger was larger than expected an d contained crisp and fresh tomatoes, onions, and lettuce on top. The side of fries was also pleasing because they were more refreshing than filling. The burger filled up well though. Legend's also offers a bar with a fair assortment of beers and drinks. While I was there, the service was slightly inattentive, but still friendly. Conveniently located next to campus, Legend's caters well to the students needs. The pricing is fair and the atmosphere perfect for game day. Legend's is a nice alternative to fine dining found I in Grappa. Photo by Bill Rhein / The Pride ; volume. Steve Wagner and Head Brewer Mitch Steele give credit to a visit to Belgium in early 2008 for this year's Vertical Epic recipe. Stone claims the beer tastes best after the brew has fully aged after Dec. 12,2012. The ale pours chunky generating a healthy two-inch head and releasing a strong bitter aroma. The head lingers for a moment before transforming into a delicious creamy thick lancet. The brew radiates a beautiful amber hue. The ale enters the mouth and delivers a knockout punch like Kimbo Slice to the taste buds and tongue. The taste buds and mouth take several minutes to recover only to ask for more of the full flavored tasty ale. Pair the beer with full dinner meals preferably beef to counter balance the burly beer.

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

Advertising Email: pride_ads@csusm.edu com A solution to high parking prices As redundant as it may be t o revisit the issue, parking permit prices have been a focal point of student dissatisfaction for years now. The fact that this problem has sustained for so long suggests that it is time for CSUSM Parking Service to reevaluate its policies regarding parking permit prices. As it currently stands, the fee program leaves many of CSUSM's current students footing the bill for a parking structure that they may never get the chance to use. And though it is true that students now enjoy parking paid for by our predecessors, the mystery lies in why the prices for such a basic service must rise at such unprecedented rates. Parking Services have given many answers to this, but none of them get to the heart of the question. It is true that Parking Services is self-sufficient and operates financially independent of the school, essentially making parking permits as the primary sources of revenue for parking programs. The cost of new parking projects get more expensive as time passes and so it is expected that prices should increase accordingly. In as much as students can understand the need to pay for this vital service at a rate that reflects increasing costs, the underlying reasoning behind the In theory, once all of these current system of parking permit increases abuses the fairness of projects have been paid off and construction completed, the cost such a system. Parking permit increases at of permit prices should drop CSUSM have far outpaced infla- dramatically. We would like to tion and rising construction costs, believe that parking expansion making it difficult for current stu- will not be an infinite endeavor, dents to understand why they are which means that at some point paying so much more than previ- students in the f uture should be paying less than students do now ous students. Comparatively speaking, as these parking projects wind CSUSM students pay f ar-more down. However, a payment plan like than students nearby and across California. Parking Services this places a disproportionate attributes this to the newness of financial responsibility on current our campus, but how much will students who will have inherited this argument carry when we are an unfair share of the monetary no longer a young campus and all burden for parking programs. Instead of graduating payof these projects are paid o ff? ments, the system should embrace a long term method of paying for these projects that flattens out parking permit rates indefinitely. It is in this manner that parking projects can be paid for more equitably, with the only increases in permit prices being to account for inflation. It is both u nfair and impractical to expect students to assume such a large financial responsibility for parking if such a responsibility is not fairly distributed. For this reason, it is critical that Parking Services reevaluate its permit pricing policies in the f uture to ensure fairness and cooperation. Special Event Parking ONLY Your $400 parking pass is no good here. HA HA HA The resurgence of the Western BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The past few years have a brought a revival of the Western genre in A merican films. The recently released " A p p a l o o s a" owes its success to Westerns f rom the past few years that have put new life in the genre. Not only is the Western back, but i t's t aking new shape as well. The Western film has always been p art of A merica's identity. In the early stages of films, Westerns were f requent in most m ajor film studios. Yet, in the , late 1980's, there was a diminishing amount of interest in films by directors such as Clint Eastwood. The Western almost came back in the early 1990's with "Unforgiven," which won the Oscar for best picture, but the revival would have to wait. The Western laid dormant for years until it recently began creeping back into mainstream cinema. In 2008, a hybrid film containing heavy Western influence once again won best picture. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" proved the genre still had strength. Leading up to this, the Western took new shapes in other setting and genres. In 2006, the Western, which has p rimarily been set in A merica, came out of Australia with stunning force. " The Proposition" contained all the elements of an American Western such as outlaws, j ustice, and gunfights, but it was unique because of its setting in the land down under. The film is high caliber standing on its own and revitalized interest i n the genre. The Western also went into deep space in the TV show " Firefly" and its spinoff movie, "Serenity." Though these works appear to be sci-fi, narrative and stylistic elements mark them as Westerns. They showed that the Western could be popular anywhere. They directly contributed to the success the Western has today. Recently, filmmakers have treated moviegoers to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and a remake of "3:10 To Yuma." Both have superb casts and s tories. The interest in recent Western films has proven Americans and viewers around the world are once again interested in the g ritty movie. T hemes of righteousness, t aking a stand for what is right, and selfless behavior have risen to the top. If this trend of Westerns and great movie m aking continues, cinemas will contain one delight a fter another. Photos reireivedfrom reelmovienews.com �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 21 2008 Rakin' in the dough Super-athletes distort bigger picture BY BRIAN M ANN Pride Staff Writer When people look at some of the salaries of professional athletes, they have to think that, overall, it is a group that certainly is not in need of a bailout. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez makes north of twenty million dollars annually. Manny Ramirez, now a free agent who most recently was a Los Angeles. Dodger, will shop his services around this winter and is expect- ing somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars a year. He^ll likely get it, draw some headlines, and you'll hear again about how out-of-control salaries in pro sports are. If you're one of these lucky guys, you probably don't even notice that the economy is struggling. These players are part of an elite group, though, and are not representative of professional athletes in general They are the best of the best and are paid accordingly. Their attention-getting salaries seem outrageous and, quite frankly, they are. But it is reflective of their market value. I heard once that an individual's market value is whatever someone is willing to pay them." Fair enough. Because the best players tend to be the highest paid ones, they and their salaries are given the most attention. These players, however, do not represent the vast majority of professional athletes. Many athletes have a short-lived career. For Major League Baseball Players, 53% of them will have a career of four years or less and 74% of them will play eight years or less. The current minimum salary is $390,000. For NFL players, the average career span is 3.5 years and the minimum salary is $385,000. For NBA players it is 4.8 years and $442,000 (espn.com). Most players with short careers are making much closer to the minimum than the tens of millions that go to the best players. Professional leagues in every sport are f ull of players like this, just trying to play as long as they can. Granted, the low-end pay scale looks quite attractive to most everybody in the "real world" but because the money is made in a relatively short amount of time, most players will have to work like everybody else once their career is over.

Even as p unditry a cross the b oard called the debates d raws, p olls t aken in a fter the d ebates all gave Obama v ictories in all t hree m eetings b etween the two c andidates.

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

Men's Soccer Plays to 0-0 Tie with Pomona Cougar men's soccer played Cal Poly Pomona to a scoreless tie on Saturday, in f ront of the home crowd at M angrum Track & Soccer Field. CSUSM is now 6 -6-2 on the year. A somewhat lackluster e ffort f rom b oth sides led to the result. The normally very active Cougars took only 10 shots to Pomona's 9, and neither team consistently put together any k ind of sustained offensive attack. A program However, both teams did have their chances. CSUSM got what appeared to be a goal in the early second h alf, but it was called back late due t o a foul. Forward Brandon Zuniga had an excellent one-on-one chance, and midfielder Chris Wyatt put a couple of dangerous shots on net, forcing Pomona keeper Thomas Ryan to make a couple of big saves. But it was Cougar keeper Tashi Nakanishi who made the game's big- for American Indian families Tribal TAN F You can receive: Cash Assistance E ducational D evelopment Career D evelopment C hild Care S tipend T ransportation Assistance K -l 2 C lothing A llowance gest plays.

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

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

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ^ 511 Prop 6: Police and law enforcement funding This proposition allots a minimum of $965 million a year to police and local law enforcement. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce crime and gang activity and increase the number of law enforcement officers on the streets, making our neighborhoods safer. Those against Prop 6 claim it will take $1 billion from schools, healthcare, fire protection and public safety programs without any guarantees that there will be more police on the streets. For more information visit: www.safeneighborhoodsact.com or www.votenoprop6.com. Prop 7: Renewable energy generation Prop 7 requires that all government-owned utilities generate 50 percent of their electricity by the year 2025. Those for Prop 7 argue it will help to combat rising energy prices and help to fight global warming. Those against the measure say it is drafted poorly and will not deliver on its promises and could very likely send California into another energy crisis. For more information visit: www.Yeson7. netorwww.NoProp7.com. . Prop 8: Eliminates right of same-sex couples to marry Prop 8 would define marriage in the state constitution as a union between only a man and a woman. Those for the proposition claim it will restore what 61 percent of voters already approved and then was overturned by four judges in San Francisco. They claim it will just keep the definition of marriage between a man and a woman but will not deny samesex couples their rights. Those against the proposition say that everyone deserves equality under the law and that it is wrong to single anyone out to be treated differently. For more information visit: www.protectmarriage.com or www.NoonProp8.com for more information. Prop 9: Criminal justice system. Victim's rights, parole This would allow victims to provide input at each stage of prosecution and would provide for better protection of victims. Those for this proposition claim it will boost victim's rights, decrease perpetrators rights and prevent the release of criminals due to overcrowding. Those against Prop 9 claim it repeats laws that are already in place for victims while spending millions of dollars on prisons. Visit www.friendsofrnarcyslaw.org or www.votenoonprop9.com for more information. Prop 10: Alternative fuel vehicles and renewable energy This proposition allows the state to sell $5 billion in bonds to invest in alternative fuel cars and research and development of alternative and renewable energy sources. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and help fight global warming. Those against it claim that one company would receive the majority of $10 billion of taxpayers' money without the promise of results. Visit www.proplOyes.com or www.votenoonproplO.com for more information. Prop 11: Redistricting This proposition requires the formation of a new commission comprised of registered voters in which Democrats, Republicans and third parties are represented in changing the Assembly, Senate, and Board of Equalization district boundaries.

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

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

Starbucks charges for tap water Logo costs buck and a half BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer College is a money pit. Parking at CSUSM for example is no easy tab, but now the Starbucks on campus has decided to exploit students' vulnerable wallets and charge a fee of $1.65 for a cup of iced water. Our campus Starbucks feels heaven sent—mocha Mondays, Tazo tea Tuesdays, and more. The discount schedule is great, unless you are in the market for a simple cup of iced water, then the price is a stale $1.65. Iced water is free at any other Starbucks off campus. In hard economic times, it is almost impossible to ignore the feeling that Starbucks is taking advantage of CSUSM students. The price of $1.65 for a cup of iced water is equal to the price of a water bottle customers can purchase. This concept seems unfair and leads some customers to believe that the Starbucks at CSUSM is purposefully charging its tap water to make as much revenue as possible. "I think it isridiculousthat Starbucks is making us pay for a cup of water. It's not even 50 cents, it's almost $2.00. You might as well buy another drink if you are just going to get water at that cost," said Annie Salazar as she studied on the benches outside the main entrance to the on campus Starbucks. Maybe by charging $1.65 for basic tap ice water, Starbucks is sending the message to students that if they spend a little more they can enjoy a much sweeter treat. If this is Starbucks' intention, it is a low and shameful sale tactic This sends out quite a negative tone since more than ten Starbucks within a 20-mile radius of CSUSM do not charge a fee for ice tap water. Latishia Rivera, a sophomore at CSUSM, works at the Big Cat Food court on campus and she said it doesn't charge for tap water. "We only charge 25 cents if the customer uses a cup, but if they bring their own water bottle we don't charge them anything," said Rivera. This is the common rule that many establishments agree upon, including restaurants that most often don't charge customers for endless amounts of iced water. In California, there is no law that regulates the price that restaurants or coffee houses can charge for tap water. The Starbucks on campus is not corporate owned. Therefore, it is able to set its own prices on coffee, pastries and yes, water. Jackie Carbajal, a current employee at the Starbucks on campus also cited the Starbucks location as a factor. "Another reason, and I believe the most important one, is that because we are on a campus we have a concentrated audience, which is why we are so busy most of the time. If we gave free cups of water, we would loose a substantial amount of money in cups alone." "Corporate Starbucks can sacrifice the loss of profit, but a licensed store such as the one on campus pays more for Starbucks product," Carbajal continued. Recently, the Starbucks chain's alarming battle over the policy to leave the tap water running left speculators disgusted at the company's alleged extreme wastefulness. To promote food safety, tap water runs non-stop during business hours. On Oct. 8, 2008, The Chicago Sun Times newspaper reported that throughout all the Starbucks chains, Starbucks potentially wastes more than six million gallons of water a day. With high crimes such as these, some would think the Starbucks on campus would be losing more money on the water bill than the price of cups. Will you be paying with cash, check, or first-born child?

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

McCain originally wanted to teach English to illegal immigrants and make them pay any penalties that they may have acquired. Earlier t his year, he changed his stance and no longer supports t his t ype of action. McCain wants to use Homeland Security and, like Obama, increase the punishment of companies who hire illegal immigrants. Primarily, he wants to ensure the border is secure f irst before immigration r eform takes place. This is where the candidates seem to disagree the most on immigration in general.

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

Oct. 21, 2008 - CSUSM performance lab invited Olive Bieringa to host a free screening and lecture of her company the BodyCartography Project on campus. The performance lab at CSUSM is part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts that focuses; on inspiring students to enhance their education through various mediums of art, including dance, theatre, and art performances. Olive Bieringa is the founder and co-director of the BodyCar- tography Project. The project is an innovated dance collaboration that is rooted in deeply moving, modern art pieces that can take shape as live performances, art installments, film, and still photographs. Bieringa's creative inspirations have led her to New Zealand, Europe, and even Japan to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. "The process of making art is so intuitive," Bieringa said, as she showed sections of her film pieces to students on Tuesday evening. She campaigned her idea that any environment can become a stage, the landscape of moun- tains or urban street corners give off energy to be creative and grow into any atmosphere. "What constitutes a dance? It depends on what you chose to focus on, how do I make a presence in an environment? I could follow theflow^ofa busy street or contrast it with ^cklm ddfice, these are all choices I think about," Bieringa continued as she explained to her audience the choices she makes as a choreographer in her dance pieces. The lecture involved several screenings of the BodyCartography Project's work: live perfor- Wonderlove is back Band does reunion tour in OC BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Eightyears ago, ifyou were to ask almost anyone in Orange County who the "big cheese" of the local music industry was, you would get only one answer Wonderlove. Winning the Orange County Music Award for "Best Live Band" two years in a row (2002 and 2003), Wonderlove was no stranger to the limelight. In addition to winning awards, Wonderlove has filmed 3 music videos, including one in Tuscany, Italy. Fame and travel are two things this band embraced and loved. Unfortunate for music lovers, Wonderlove played their last show in 2004 and disbanded shortly thereafter. Since then, they have done two reunion shows, including a sold out jam packed show at The Gypsy Lounge in Lake Forest, CA in June of 2007. But the wait is over, Wonderlove is having another reunion show on November 14, 2008, once again, at The Gypsy Lounge, their home away from home and favorite place to play shows. A simple reunion show not exciting enough for you? Well how about more than just a reunion show? How about Wonderlove getting back together with a new mances in Argentina and clips from "Holiday House," a film based on the coordination of friends in dance and movement. "I don't desire to give a message or a political view (in the performances) but to have the audience choose for themselves what it means to them," Bieringa said. Many of the students were very engaged in the lecture and screening. Kirstie Peterson, a sophomore, said, "I've seen her work before, it's very interesting and powerful." The BodyCartography Project performed at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park on Oct. 18. The performance featured CSUSM students including Claudia Evans, a senior who found the experience of performing so special. "Everything was so visual, so amazing, it heightened my senses and I felt like I learned so much, it was something I had iiever done before," Evans continued to share with the audience about her experience.

Sounds great to me, and that's the word straightfromWonderlove front man, Chris Paul Overall. With so much individual growth on each members part since the band broke up 4 years ago, there is much to look forward to with this reunion. Dave Beste spent much time recording and touring nationally with Rocco Dehica and the Burden, Bryan Mclntyre has played with Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, Dicki Fliszar has played with Anna Nalick as well as with Deccatree along with Jesse Nason, and Chris Paul Overall has been quite busy with his solo musical journey in addition to his collaboration withfellowlocal musician, AJDegrasse. In response to a question about what each individual will be bringing to the table after all this time and growth, Chris Paul Overall said, "when we were playing before, we were just a bunch of drunk idiots trying to destroy ourselves... now we [have] wisdom." Reuniting Wonderlove is growing into one of the most anticipated musical reunion in Orange County local music history, because it is not just a reunion show, it is the reunion of an incredibly talented band. "I'm just looking forward to playing with the guys that really make my music the best it can be. There has always been a [certain] chemistry between the five of us that I have never experienced with any other project, and Wonderlove brings the rock," says Chris Paul Overall. Personally, I've seen these five guys take the stage at last years one night onlyreunionshow and I must say - they do bring the rock. I've seen Chris Paul Overall play solo shows, I've listened to Rocco Deluca and the Burden, I've heard and seen Deccatree, I've listened to Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, I've even heard Anna Nalick's song "Breathe" on the radio - but none of that quite touches on the greatness of seeing all these guys on stage together playing Wonderlove's hitsfromboth their albums, My Submarine and Getting Off the Revolution. So when November 14 comes around, make sure you are in Orange County at The Gypsy Lounge (www. thegypsylounge.com) for the first Wonderlove show in a year. Check out their website, wwwmyspace. comAvonderlovemusic for more information of theirreunion,where to purchase their albums (iTunes and CDBaby), and more information about upcoming shows. Come out to the show, you'll love this band no matter what your favorite style of music is, it will be no wonder you'll love the Wonderlove!

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

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

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

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

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

Despite the CFA's protest, Chancellor Reed insists that the $31.3 million in givebacks will not hinder critical CSU operations.

In closing, McCain stressed the importance of nationwide unity and patriotism, "I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here."

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

It was so amazing to see the pages come to life by reading about the swans and watch the swans for myself," McBrayer said about her study abroad experience. "While we were not in school I had plenty of time to explore the town and other areas," McBrayer continued. Studying abroad can be a life changing experience and can help future^ graduates develop deeper understanding of the world around them. "Students come home with a g reater sense of who they are, a g reater appreciation of their own c ulture nected the world is," said Gabbard. "I have studied abroad in both Italy and England and considered them the most rewarding and enriching times of my life. Students must go explore this vast wonderful world of ours, and I'm happy to h elp them plan for their journey of a lifetime," Gabbard said. The CSUSM study abroad programs offer students more than 10 different types of financial aid and scholarships to help more students study abroad. More information can be found at www2.csusm.edu/ global, or at the study abroad o ffice in Craven Hall 3200. "If for some reason an exchange or IP program is not offered in the location a student desires, he/she can be an intra-campus visitor to another CSU and do their study abroad program with their students. It opens up a lot of doors for students to explore the world," Gabbard said. CSUSM features an exclusive opportunity for students to participate in internship programs in Australia and New Zealand. Internships are available in art, f ilm, broadcasting, even business and law, according to the Austra Learn program. Specific internship programs abroad are a great addition to a resume, since only about 1 percent of the students in the United States study abroad, according to the former CSUSM study abroad advisor, Jan Stockey. Katie McBrayer, a senior at CSUSM, studied abroad in Galway, Ireland her junior c ulture, and a much better p erception of just how con- the dangers they face while crossing the desert. With almost all of the boys being under the age of 12 when they left their villages, the boys did not have anyone to keep them safe from the wild animals except themselves. Alephonsion Deng, in his talk to students at Cal State San Marcos Oct. 9, recounted an incident in which he was sleeping in one of the refugee camps with a bunch of other little boys. He said he felt something above him and absent mindedly swatted at it. Moments later he woke to screaming and saw that the little boy who was sleeping next to him had a gaping hole in the side of his face where an animal had bit him. During their journey the boys were often separated from each other and they faced additional hardships that most can scarcely imagine. They walked thousands of miles in the grueling heat and the bitter cold. They were faced with injuries, slavery, starvation, thirst and all too often death. In their desperate attempt to survive, at times they ate dirt and drank their own urine to survive. However, when they reached the refugee camps, things were not much better. They received rations from the United Nations, however they were not sufficient. The cramped quarters and the unsanitary conditions lead to the State San Marcos directly to the spread of disease, and they were village that Benjamin, Benson never far from war. and Alephonsion came from, and In the western world it is nearly where their family members still impossible to imagine people reside, in order to build a well going through this, much less sur- that will provide them with fresh, viving it, and it is nearly always untainted water. associated with a less humane For . more past.

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

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

Proceeds to go directly to CSUSM Alumna diagnosed with Breast Cancer VIRIDIANA PACHECO ISAAC Editor-in-Chief Every fall, a series of goodlooking CSUSM male students strut their stuff for a chance to win the title of "Mr. Alpha Chi," a male pageant hosted by Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Unlike many other pageants, however, the scores of onlookers and the contestants themselves are not the only ones who benefit from a little eye-candy. "[The pageant] is an Alpha Chi tradition that does not just happen at our chapter," said Mr. Alpha Chi Chair Heather Grofik. "It is a fundraising event, part of our philanthropy." The pageant INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER consists of men from many different campus organizations competing for the title while raising money for the sorority's cause. This year, the proceeds will go directly to CSUSM and Alpha Chi Omega alumna Lauren Park, who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

Only falling second to the presidential election, Prop 8 proved the most costly measure on the ballot in the nation, raising $37.6 million for and $36.8 million against the right for same sex couples to marry.

"Secondly, we will be conducting a test of our campus emergency notification systems at the end of University Hour. This will involve classroom announcements, tests of exterior loud-speakers, and telephone, email, and text message alerts." The event aims to "inspire Southern Californians to get ready for big earthquakes and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes," according to the Earthquake Country Alliance. A massive earthquake estimated at a magnitude 7.8 struck San Francisco in 1906 killing over 700 people. The fire that ensued resulted in the deaths an estimated 2,700 people. Many Californians easily recall the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake in 1994 that killed 57 people and injured over 9,000.

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

What to see around the Alps Germany> Austria and Northern Italy provide a mix of amazing scenery and historical landmarks BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor The area surrounding the Swiss Alps is alive with amazing architecture, a rich history and beautiful sceneryThe alps arc visiblefromGermany Austria and Northern Italy. The close proximity of these small but fascinating countries allows tourists to easily visit various locations of great historical significance datingfromthe twelfth century to just a few decades ago. Reifenstein Castle Construction on Reifenstein Castle began in 1170. This twelfth century casde is the best originally preserved medieval castle in Italy. The countess who owns, and lives in, the castle offers tours to the public for a small price. The casde is most famous for the green hall, that makes medieval life look comfortable, and for the collection of period weapons that it contains. Visitors are also able to see the period-style kitchen, the knights sleeping quarters, the living quarters and all the aspects ofmedieval castles that make them unique. The castle is complete with an outer wall, a garden on the inside grounds, a drawbridge, and a dun- geon. Located on the second story, the dungeon is a small hole in die floor through which prisoners where dropped in to pitch blackness with no food and very little water for the duration of their imprisonment. The castle is located in a scenic area with lush, green landscape that is untouched by humans, save only the nearby sister casde Sprechenstein, for as far as the eye can see. The Residence at Innsbruck Marie Antoinette is perhaps the most famous queen in history. Born an archduchess of Austria in 1755, Marie Antoinette spent most of her young life at the residence in Innsbruck before she left for France to marry King Louis XVI at the tender age of 14 . Spoiled by luxury her entire life, Marie Antoinette became infamous for her lavishness while her people were starved in poverty. Walking through the halls of the Residence at Innsbruck it is easy to see why she expected extravagance. From the gold trimmed family tree hall to the lavish living quarters to the abundance ofdining and entertaining halls the home left nothing to be desired. Visitors will enjoy living the high life while walking through the childhood home of the woman who became victim of the guillotine, by the hands of her own people, during the French Revolutioa The Castles of Mad King Ludwig King Ludwig II is one of the most mysterious and fascinating characters in the history of Germany. Born in 1845, King Ludwig II became king of Bavaria at the age of 18 when his father passed away. The young king quickly became obsessed with building castles, and drained the Bavarian treasury making them as elaborate as possible. His most elaborate castle was Neuschwanstein, the castle Walt Disney modeled Sleeping Beauties Casde after. The casde is set on a mountain in the Bavarian Alps. Visitors to the magnificent edifice are able to visit the king's quarters, the kitchen, servants quarters, the throne room and various other completed rooms.

Though little is known of Ludwig and his life and death, his magnificent casdes will forever pay tribute to his name. Munich and the Holocaust Germany is most infamous for a history it has spent decades trying to overcome, Hider and the Holocaust. Visitors to Munich, Germany can walk the streets Hider walked, stand where he gave speeches to histhrongs of followers and even visit concentration camps. The city offers various tours of Munich, including a Third Reich tour that takes visitors on a tour of places of historical significance to the life of Adolph Hitler. Dachau, one of Munich's suburbs, is home to the Dachau Concentration Camp, the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany that was used as a prototype and model for the camps that followed. Dachau was a work camp, meaning it only housed men and was not used for genocide, though it does contain a gas chamber and a crematorium. Visitors are able to tour the holding cells, the bunks of the prisoners, a museum and the gas chamber and crematorium. The camp is placed in a small, scenic town with nice middle-class homes placedjust feetfromthe wall of the camp. The iron gates leading into the camp read "Arbeit macht ftei," meaning work will make you free, the irony of which is disturbing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In a nationalfinancialcrisis, secure jobs are scarce and the importance of higher education becomes a sought-after valued asset. Refusing eligible students in these times seems cruel and heartless. But maybe, the ultimate price of our education will suffer if there is no change implicated to adapt to the current slumping nances of the CSU system.

As if a of deeper m i d - y e a r college student's life isn't difficult cuts and no expectation that the state enough with work, paying rent, and trying to registerforclasses, now he must deal with the evident suffering of the CSU system. Science labs were cut even when the class was already full and had wait listed students. Overall, fewer classes are offered, making it very difficult for graduating seniors to complete their last units. A recent rumor has been mentioned that the number of faculty copiers has been limited, urging teachers to tell their students to print out class handouts at home rather than having teachers provide them in class. Adapting to these changes is a necessity for the success of current students, but I believe a financial reform is needed before the refusing admittance to eligible, ambitious students. Farewell from the Managing Editor BY BEN ROFFEE Managing Editor Dear Readers, As we approach the end of the semester and the Pride's operations wind to a close, we are called upon to reflect on the events and stories that have come to define this past semester. In just a few short months, our country seemed in quite a rush to make history and CSUSM definitely acted in part. Over the course of this brief span of time I have had the distinct honor and privilege of being a part of a team dedicated to reporting on this historic period through the perspective of a college campus. Even with all of the passion for journalism in the world, it is impossible to have a successful paper without chemistry in the newsroom. The editors and staff here at the Pride are as much my colleagues as they are my friends, and without their support and comical distractions I doubt I could have ever kept my sanity. There is no other group of people I can think of that I 'd rather spend the countless frustrated and weary hours with than with thè people I've been fortunate to call my coworkers for the last year and a half. Their tireless dedication to keeping this ship afloat deserves much more thanks than I can give and should command the respect of all of you. A special thanks goes out to Viri, who filled some big shoes and taught me more than I could ever want to know about this craft. It is likely that I wont serve as an editor, but you can still expect to see me floating around the Pride. See you next semester, CSUSM.

The Celtics remain very impressive and have a star-studded roster themselves, but the Lakers trump card is Bryant. Yes, he did play in the finals last year when the Celtics won, but he was crippled by injuries and has since had surgery to remedy his ailments. He is much healthier now and, barring injury, will prove again that he is unstoppable at full strength. Due to their impressive team, lack of competition and possessing the best individual player in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers will overwhelm the NBA this season. Their nearly flawless start to the season is proof of their superiority. Have they played weak opponents? No, so far they have simply dominated what is a mostly mediocre league.

The Letter from the President also addressed Joijani's connection which her students, many of whom remain in contact with her well after graduation, "One of her former students, now a tenured professor at Cal Poly Pomona, wrote: 'Dr. Joijani was the most influential individual that I have met in my academic career.

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

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

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

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

Like most start up breweries, the company outgrew available capacity and moved to Petaluma. Currently, the company distributes brew throughout 20 states. The brewery only uses water, hops, yeast, and malted barley to produce batches of beer. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce bottles of Brown Shugga' for $9.99.

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

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

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

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

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

Half the time I don't even know what's going on, on campus. I just come to school and leave." "Yeah, because it's for more collectiveness of the students, I don't think we have enough going on to get students together, Everyone just comes to class and goes to class. It would be a better way to get everybody together and have events and whatnot." "I would be willing to pay just because I think it 's for a good cause.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Academic Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and comments submitted online, will address these concerns as they make their decision. "The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a recommendation whether or not ROTC courses should be offered at CSUSM, and their recommendation goes to the Academic Senate for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the Academic Senate is located.

Last week, the Pride featured a story outlining CSUSM's proposal to include ROTC courses along with the standard curriculum. The proposal to add ROTC courses was originally created by the Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee.

For creating such a staple in American pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall the f ull name of the man behind these iconic c haracters and children's books. Even Google changed its faceplate this past Monday, March 2, to honor the b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor ' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. The Random House website dedicated to all things Seuss related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on the author. Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother, who worked in a pie bakery in her youth, used to chant the pie names to customers and in t urn, would use the same chants like nursery rhymes to calm Geisel when he had trouble sleeping.

Geisel then confessed that Oxford denied his fellowship and his f ather had to round up his savings to send to Oxford anyways. While attending Oxford with intentions to become a professor, classmate Helen Palmer noticed Geisel doodling during class. She told him that he should become an artist instead of a professor. Geisel took the advise to heart and pursued his career in art and w hen he was caught t hrowing a party created cartoon style t raining f ilms for the U.S. Army. A fter the war, Geisel continued publishing his cartoons in various magazines but he also had a desire to write as well. His f irst few attempts were met with rejection or little acclaim. " The Cat in the H at" gave Geisel notability and skyrocketed his career as a children's book writer and illustrator. Some of his other famous books include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Horton Hears a W ho!" Geisel died in San Diego, CA on September 24, 1991. In 1995, UCSD renamed its University Library Building, Geisel Library in his honor. This past December, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Geisel in the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History, Women, and the A rts in Sacramento.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

N ORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com 9 5 11 �Tuesday, March Faces & Places 70, 2009 C ar accidents BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find yourself in one? Here are some helpful tips for being prepared in an accident. Staying prepared: It is California law for drivers to always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof of Financial Responsibility, for most that means having your insurance card on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well as a copy of your insurance policy. In car accidents it is important to understand what your auto insurance policy covers, so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured driver hits you? What are your insurance limits? These are questions you want to know the answers to before an accident occurs. Another way to stay prepared is to have a car safety kit stored in your car. This safety kit most likely comes with cones for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have a camera on hand to photograph any damage, street signs, and license plates of any other cars involved. Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical allergies you may have in the case of medical assistance is another important precaution. When an accident occurs: If you are in an accident you are required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car, or even property. According to the 2007 State Bar of California, if you do not stop, you can be charged with a hit-and-run even if the accident was not your fault. "The number one thing to do is to check for any injuries, with yourself, the other driver, and as well as the car," says CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be made is to 911." If there are any suspected injuries for T HE PRIDE How to d eal either party, notify medical authorities right away. "You have to be very aware and alert of other vehicles coming from behind you, especially on the highway," says Hackenberg. If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your car to a safer location if possible or stand behind a guardrail for protection until help arrives. Put out cones to help other drivers be more aware that an accident has occurred. Exchange information with the other party such as names, phone numbers, and insurance company information. Take note of the license plate number, make, model and year of the other driver's car, and his/her driver's license number. Record the time, date and location of the accident, note street signs, the weather and exactly how the accident occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they may come in handy in trying to piece how the accident occurred. When police arrive, note the officer's badge number and do not admit fault anything you say could be recorded and later be used against you, so before taking the blame consult with your insurer or a lawyer. If an accident concerns a parked car or property damage, you must make an effort to locate the owner. If you cannot the law states that you can drive away only after leaving behind your name, number, address, and an explanation of the incident. After an accident: Request a copy of the police report of the accident for your records. When it is determined who was responsible for the cause of the accident, compensations may be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties' insurance policies have. Keep in constant communication with your insurer and speak with a lawyer for any legal advice concerning the accident or making an insurance claim. Exclusive interview with ASI President BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander Hoang. Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself. Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander Hoang and I am your ASI President & CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an i nterna- ^ ^ ^ tional traveler that seeks to bring people together ^ ^ K r through my profesH H P sional & personal experience. Oh and I love my mommy's cooking. Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were elected as ASI President. What made you want to run for this position? Hoang: From the moment I set foot on CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this intimate learning environment would transform my life, and I wanted to make a positive impact on At as well. Many students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with me how I helped their lives through my roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of various clubs. As a natural advocate, I decided to step up to the next level for all students. Valdivia: What do you think is the biggest issue facing CSUSM students at this time? Hoang: The biggest issue facing students is affordability and access here ^ at CSUSM. The economic crisis is taking its toll on students and the ______ budget cuts Photo by Diana Valdivia have limited enrollment. Parking permit prices and textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying graduation rates. Valdivia: As ASI President, what are you doing to help students with this issue? Hoang: I asked President Haynes for help regarding parking permit prices when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the proposed increase by $35 dollars for the next academic year. I also advocate on a statewide level for our students and have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the works at our home campus. I've also spearheaded the coded memorandum on shared governance for our CSU. This ensures the accountability of having a student on an administrative committee / initiative to voice the student perspective. Valdivia: What is your stand on the idea and planning for the new University Student Union? Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy in the process. It will clearly benefit the whole community at CSUSM. Faculty and staff in our administration should be included in the fee implementation, not just students, since it will enhance our community as a whole. Valdivia: What has been the best part of being ASI President? Hoang: The best part is standing by the side of my fellow students each day. To give my best, everything that I am to engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege, Valdivia: What has been the biggest challenge as ASI President? Hoang: The biggest challenge is the learning curve. I have stepped up to this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI 101 living transition manual so that any f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in order to deliver results for the students of CSUSM. Valdivia: Any additional thoughts you would like to share with students? Hoang: ASI is here for you if you seek anything on your home campus to be improved, enhanced, or changed, check out our website www.csusm.edu/ asi, give us a ring at 760-750-4990.

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

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

Now, since films like "Saw" and "Hostel," horrorfilmshave become all about blood and mutilation. Real thrills in horror films come from fear leading to the violence, not the actual deaths. This film has potential if it can maintain a high level of anxiety in viewers. Also out this week are several films going into limited release. Though there are several, I would like to give a nod to "Edge of Love" and "Three Monkeys"which appear to be a pair of really artistic films. Lastly, I would like to mention "Sun- shine Cleaning," which I expect to be very entertaining and enter wide release in a few weeks. It is another drama comedy hybrid in the vein of "Little Miss Sunshine" about a pair of sisters who start a crime scene clean-up company. It evolves into a heartwarming story when they console those affected by the tragedies they are cleaning. Keep an eye out for this one if you cannot make it to a theater s creening l imited releases.

I imagine artists In the early 90s, A rthur signed to Peter Gabriel's record label, Real World Records. A fter five studio albums, Arthur decided to keep his touring band around for albums six and seven, and establish his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records. His latest release, Temporary People, includes musicians Sibyl Buck, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer Turner, and Greg Wieczorek. I clumsily paused the song to see if I could compel any more information out of the slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like the guy I fell in love with a fter hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's Come to Where I'm From.

The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts of affirmation making the song's mood more buoyant than glum.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As I sit down for the interview, I witness a nearly tearful goodbye with her close friend Catherine Cucinella. She hugs and tells Cucinella, a Literature and Writing Professor at CSUSM, they will be in touch and see each other soon. Before Nix started working for CSUSM, she was employed at Cal State San Bernardino. She joined CSUSM in 1992 when she decided to move closer to where her children were residing. Her daughter, who is currently working for the College of Business department at CSUSM, has been working longer than Nix at the university. When she first applied to CSUSM, she was hired to work in Facilities and Public Safety. But for the past ten years, Nix has been the Administrative Coordinator for the Literature and Writing department. When asked what she will mis3 the most after leaving CSUSM, she answers, "All the people I've worked with and the close relationships I've developed. I really enjoyed working with the people here and the students." From thefirstday on the job to her current retirement, Nix has been around to see the wonderful changes the university has made. When she first started her job with CSUSM, the campus was located in a strip mall on furniture row, which is a couple miles away from the university's current location. It was an "everybody knows everybody" community back on furniture row and Nix is happy to know she was a part of the university's growth over the past years. When asked what her daily routines will be like now that she is retiring, she jokingly answered, "I think the most exciting part is that I won't have to set that alarm in the morning unless if I want toi" A retirement party was held in honor of Nix on March 3. She said the celebration was wonderful and much more than she expected. She added, "Everyone was so sweet and it has been a very emotional, up and down time. It's going to be a big adjustment and I am going to miss so many people. It's hard to explain." It does not take long to notice that Photo by Jessenia Lua both students and faculty are going to miss having Nix Literature and Writing professor around. As I was walking away say, "Anita, you will be imposfrom her office, I overheard a sible to replace." A p rotest t o t he " C a l l t o A r m s " W S S A s ays no to w ar BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Students against the War on Terror will raise their voices here at CSUSM on Thursday, March 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Forum Plaza next to Kellogg Library. The demonstration is part of a national movement to protest the continuing war on its sixth anniversary. The Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) of CSUSM is sponsoring an anti-war demonstra- tion. The protest is in coordination with the United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) organization, which is a coalition of over 1400 local and national organizations who are in protest of the Iraq War. Consuelo Martinez, Student President of WSSA says, "The demonstration is one of many actions taking place throughout the country. Students will participate in a mock "die-in" as a symbolic reminder of lives lost during the Iraq war. The "die-in" demonstration was started a couple of years ago with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN)." War is not just about one country's cost in money and body count. Currently, the US has lost over 5,000 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, but on the other side of the fence, approximately one million Iraqis died with another 4.5 million displaced from their homes. Cost estimates for the war run around $600 billion currently spent and estimates up to $3 trillion for afinalamount (UFPJ). "I feel as students, it is important that we remember the destruction that continues after six years of war," Martinez said, and encouraging all to come out and observe the demonstration. According to Martinez, "the demonstration will not be a rally, but a peaceful event for students to observe and participate in. There will be information tables with pamphlets about statistics on the war, resources for military families, and peace activism." This will be far differentfromthe Vietnam demonstrations of the 1960s with students clogging hallways and waving signs demanding change in the establishment.. The WSSA encourages students to come out and experience the "die in" as a way to personally experience the tragedy that has befallen the latest generation of young adults. Come out and find out what you can do to change the course of the war. For information regarding any special accommodation that you may require, contact the WSSA at wssa.csusm@gmail. com. C S U S M g ets a l esson in w omen's h istory BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer March is here and it is the month of HERstory. CSUSM's Women's Center has organized a calendar of events to recognize women and what they have achieved, there are 15 events scheduled to take place throughout the entire month. Programming and Events Specialists for the Women's Center, Phylisa Wisdom (2009) says, "Women are often left out of mainstream history, so March being women's herstory month is a time to be able to appreciate women's contributions in history and have more program- ming. for the learning center." Herminia Ramirez, Community Outreach Specialist for the Women's Center and editor of their newspaper The Rag, adds that these events highlight things that are happening to women now. Ramirez says, the March 5 event 'Women in Latin American Politics, is information that is still happening and is still relevant. Ramirez follows by saying "Some of them are developing nations still, it is important to see what women are doing or what they should be doing." The Women in Latin American Politics event took place Thursday, March 5 during University ths Hour in Markstein Hall 101. Cynthia Chavez Metower leading the discussion touched on topics like quotas. She stated that third world countries have said that there is a quota of a limit that 30% of candidates must be women for both the upper and lower Housing. She continued to explain that this does not mean that 30% of women will be elected. It simply means that 30% must stand to be elected. Metower says, "indeed there are women who are capable and usually it's not the matter of whether you can find qualified women, but it's rather trying to change the structures of discrimination. The UniversityVoice Photos by Kevin Chatham /Pride Staff Writer structures have kept them from running." She mentioned that the effectiveness of the quotas depends largely on the nature of the countries electoral system, but that they work best where the laws are as specific as possible and there aren't loops holes in which they can get around and say no* The 50-minute presentation touched on today's important political areas, and allowed room towards the end for students to ask questions. For students who politics do not spark an interest in them should consider attending one of the many more remaining events. Wisdom is trilled for this semester's events, she says, "The cool thing about this semester is that there is such a wide range of events, that there really is something for everybody. You do get people with different majors and with different interests.. .they can come for support or for information if it's an academic event... the nice thing is we draw all kinds of people in." Upcoming Women's HERstory events to look forward to include: "Feminist Arts and the Maternal" in Commons 206 as well as "Women in Islam" in Mark 103, both events occur during University Hour at 12 p.m. today, March 17. i m " Did the time change hit home?"

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

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

Recently, Cage and his wigs have been having a contest with himself to make he worst movies of the year. Based his past works "National Treasure 2," "Next," "Ghost Rider," and "Bangkok Dangerous," I lack hope for the success of this film. It will make some money, but Cage has been off the mark he hit with film such as "Leaving Las Vegas," "Adaptation," and "Matchstick Men." Next, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, square-off in "Duplicity." They play former spies that become operatives for big corporations in this spy-comedy-romance-thriller. I am unimpressed with the MAN I LOVE Y OU, MARCH 20, 2009 looks of this film. It looks like a little romp that will miss the mark because it has so much going on. The actors will for the romance and the comedy will flop in the genre blending film about figuring out who is working for whom. Lastly, there is "I Love You, Man," which has all the elements of a movie I would hate, but I want to see it. This concept film about a guy looking for a friend to be his best man stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. The iloveyouman.com Image courtesy ofDreamworks Pictures plot is simple, I but I expect big laughs from this film if it can stay away from the crude and stick-to-cleaver writing. This could be the best comedy of the year. It stars to fresh comedy actors who have great chemistry in the trailer. I like the idea that this film might avoid the over sexuality of a film such as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." I hope this film about male bonding can hit the heights of other comedy classics such as "Swingers." * W h a t to S ee o n D V D Read Before V iewing BY BLAINE H.

So it is no surprise that Dana Newton, the Annual Events and Traditions Specialist for C.A.B., expected big results hosting the 2nd Annual Cougar Idol competition this month. There were a few differences from that of the television show and the C.A.B event at the Clarke Field House Grand Salon: there was no crazy lights show, no chaotic weeping girls, no huge stage, and no massive crowd ready to roar at the celebrity judges. However, the main elements were present: the contestants, a mini stage, a competitive yet supportive crowd, 3 judges, and a host who was the complete opposite of Mr. "Seacrest out." All eight participants made it to thefinalswith their stage faces ready to convince judges, Ryan McRae, Marilyn McWilliams, and Lisa Dickinson that they were the next Cougar Idol. Standing 4 feet 10 inches, Stephanie Abayan took home the big prize, $250 Ticketmaster gift card with her version of Dreamgirls "And I'm Telling You." No one would ever expect such a big voice to come out of Abayan, of whom some would believe and say is a small package. After judging the petite performer, Ryan McRae says, "You should be 8 foot 7". Photo by Jamie Inarda Amanda Pollak followed in 2nd Photo by Jamie Inarda Place and received a $100 Gas Card after performing Shania Twains "Honey, I'm Home." Idol attendee Kayla Robinson was impressed with Pollak's song choice saying "She brought some life back into Cougar idol after a run of sad songs." Singing a cappella was no problem for 3rd Place winner Akeisa Abercrombie took last prize, a $50 Gift Card to Best Buy for performing Jazmine Sullivan's "Lions, Tigers, and Bears." Rahim Baker compared this year's competition to the last saying "They did a much better job. They did great. Everyone was more confident this year." There is no doubt that this year's Cougar Idol was a complete success. Participants came with their stage faces. ASI CAB Cougar Idol will continue to be a great event that showcases another CSUSM big talent. carries a heavy, minimalist rock vibe. Hansard calls out in the first few bars of the song. Every instrument proclaims its forceful signature until a calmed hush lets Hansard's unusually gentle voice tell a story about a woman he loves. An acoustic guitar lines the foggy atmosphere until a bass drum pushes the singular voice into a chorus featuring Irglova's mild soprano harmonies. The song's chaotic conclusion releases in a violin-tinged swirl, falling into a still lull. The Frames are authentic Irish rock and roll leaving the fairness up to the Isle herself. Surely, they wouldn't be caught dead drinking green beer. The Frames BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor It's only fair for me to talk about an Irish band this week in honor of St. Patrick. The only thing more cliché than wearing green on the 17 would be to talk about "U2" as the end-all be-all Irish export. Sorry, Bono. No need for you this time around. My brain required little wracking before I settled on Ireland's "The Frames." The Dublin-based quintet formed in 1990 and remains highly influential within the city's music scene. th Glen Hansard, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Joe Doyle, Rob Bochnik, and Johnny Boyle are the current line-up for The Frames. Hansard founded the band with mostly different members, including bassist-turned-film director, John Carney. Let's assume you've been living under a rock since the 2008 Oscars. So that means you haven't heard of Carney's award-winning film, "Once." In 2007, the film inadvertently stole the show at the Sundance Film Festival. Hansard stars alongside Czech pianist, Marketa Irglova, as a struggling Irish musician who falls in love with a Czech immigrant. Sure, the storyline sounds bland and overdone on paper, but the film's musical merit garnered an Oscar for Best Original Song, "Falling Slowly." Hansard and Irglova wrote all of the music for the film while several of the songs were fresh recordings of The Frames' tracks. "Falling Slowly" originally appeared on The Frames' 2006 release, "The Cost." Hansard and Irglova pared down the track to fit with the romance of Carney's film.

I know that it was up to me to make the plans, but I really thought that Cole would be able to handle making a reservation. Oh well, now three days later I am following my ex-boyfriend into the woods to try and find the two morons who decided to get lost while attempting to find a telephone. At least I will finally get some alone time with him. "So I guess it's just me and you." He glares at me with the look I have become all too familiar with these past few years before finally speaking to me. "I don't really feel too much like talking okay, let's just find the guys and get back," he says. I sigh. I wonder how he went from being so in love with me to •being so cold. It seems like just yesterday that we were back in high school and crazy in love. Then without so much of a word he disappears and leaves it up to me tofillin the blanks. Typical of him to run from dealing with his emotions. "Well, it's already eerie enough out here in this darkness. I'm not going to just walk in silence. We can talk about whatever you like and besides I don't bite in case you have forgotten." I let out a nervous smile in his direction but quickly turn away from him before I lose my nerve. Evan looks away just as quickly and says, "Well that's not how I remember it." Why is it that he is being so difficult? I take a moment to look around at the surrounding forest and take in the beauty of the moonlight that is now lighting our path. This moment seems so perfect, but it feels so wrong. I've waited three years for this chance and now here I am letting myself completely fall apart. "Well you know it's been three years, Evan. I am clearly not the same girl I was in high school and you well you are definitely not the Evan that I fell in love with." Evan stops dead in his tracks and freezes. "Sheesh, I wasn't trying to upset you," I say. Evan moves hisfingersto my lips. I forgot how his touch sent shivers down my spine and I hear my heart beat speed up as he speaks. "Would you be quiet, I hear something in those bushes over there," Evan whispers. He points towards a bush about 200 feet in front of us and, even in the distance, I can see the bush moving around. "Why, are you scared?" I laugh to Word(s Gauche \ try to hide the growing fear inside of me. "Now is not the time Paige." He steps in front of me as if to shield me from the danger that is lurking before us. I seize the moment, wrap my arm around his, and pull myself closer. He does not pull away like I was expecting him to. "I'm scared," I manage to whisper. For the first time since we went on this trip he turns and looks me straight in the eyes. He pulls me closer to him and whispers in my ear, " I won't let anything happen to you I promise." Bork / To ruin a chance at; to botch; fail, mess up.

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

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

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

Southern California, San Diego County in particular, is home to some of the most temperate yearround coastline i njthe world. Be it surfing, bgogie board- ing, sunbathing, or hanging out with friends, the beaches of San Diego are perfect for almost any activity (besides drinking, that is).

"Recently our O ffice of Communications sent out a State Department Travel Alert to the CSUSM community that reports an increase in crime and violence, i n Mexico„i The, purpose of such a Travel Alert is to warn prospective travelers of security risks and dangerous conditions," Worden stated in the e-mail. "I urge you tp review the State Department information as you consider whether to travel across the border during Spring Break. We want you to have a relaxing, refreshing, and safe Spring Break." The U.S. State Department, Bureau of Consular A ffairs, travel alert expresses that a number of locations along the U.S./Mexico border are Experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty t hefts, notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the last year. "In recent years, dozens of nUJSL citizens have been kidnapped across Mexico, many of these cases remain unresolved," the travel alert stated. Safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never display expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. "Mexican drug cartels are engaged in an increasingly violent conflict both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics t rafficking routes along the U.S. Mexico border.

U:&v ^citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways," according to the travel alert. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a longterm contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S. citizens can contact the nearest U.S. consulates or the U.S. Embassy in case of any trouble. Contact numbers are listed on the travel.state.gov website. "Mexico is a popular destination and we want students to exercise caution and avoid dangerous situations i f they decide to travel south of the border," said Margaret Lutz, CSUSM's Public Information Officer. "It is important for students to take this alert seriously as there has been an increase in documented violence in Mexico. This violence is indiscriminate and innocent people have been victimized. Students should take common sense precautions and be aware of their surroundings." "Students should drink responsibly, especially with people they don't know, and keep passports and credit cards with them at all times. Students traveling anywhere abroad should read up on their destination's news and tell someone from home about travel plans," Lutz added.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I can't see why The Pride's thriving Arts & Entertainment section is more important than who will be leading the ASI in the next term. A fter all, the issues of tuition and fee increases are not trivialities and must merit at least the same attention as the reviews featured in this issues massive A&E section. With four pages of A rts & Entertainment, plus a f ull page of columns, a f ull page of classifieds/ads, The Pride's lack of coverage on the election is conspicuous. Until this issue, I didn't think that a quarter-page mention of the presidential results was too much to ask. The Pride has a unique responsibility to inform the student population, and currently the paper is not meeting that responsibility.

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

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

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

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

The three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC and Many Student Organizations The International Fair gives CSUSM students, friends, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come together and appreciate the many cultures that make our university. One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair is the free sample dishes from Europe, Latin America, Asia and many more. Every year, the German booth's popularity seems to increase. Senior CSUSM student, Jean Scheuneman says, "Every year we get 300 Rohwurst. We never know how many people are going to show up, but we just do the best we can and we get a lot of people from our club to help out." Aside from all the mouth-wa- tering food, the International Fair featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers, and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.

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

The company formed in 1997. Two years later, the brewery became a brewpub. The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer, southern and Cajun styled food, and live blues music. In 2002, they claimed to have become the first US microbrewery to can its own beer. Employees hand-can the beer inside a 60-year-old barn. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans are held together by a plastic harness. The l abeling f eatures a bright red, blue, white, and silver color. The can looks like an American flag. The can pressurizes a brew with a 6.5% alcohol by volume. BevMo also sells four other Oskar Blues Brewery beers. Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky forming a menacing one-inch thick head. The head resides momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy. The brew radiates a rich golden amber hue* The bitter aroma rising from the glass indicates the heavy use of malts and hops. The common name and the simple guise of can-in-a-beer does not do the beer justice. The brew enters smooth before a ravishing Jason Statham flying round house kick double punch assaults all areas of the mouth. After the initial blow, the taste buds recuperate only to ask for more. The boldness and thickness of the beer should pair well with heavy dinners such as steak and potatoes with lots of dinner rolls. Avoid consuming the beer alone. Enjoy the brew with anything, such as chips or beef jerky, to truly enjoy the beer's courageous flavor. As the essay and exam dates stack up stay focused, but take a moment of relaxation and enjoy the tasty Dale's Pale Ale. Cheers! BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and continues to grow, it's the süshi bar. Although popular food chains and local favorites are closing every day all over the county, sushi bars continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because the appeal of the sushi bar is more than just good food; the experience is what makes it memorable and keeps people coming back. Not the fake, constructed experience that some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee is not paid to smile and does anyway. The atmosphere of a restaurant and the dedication of its employees to making great food and entertaining customers seem like a lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is the Love Boat sushi bar and Japanese restaurant located in the new Las Posas plaza in San Marcos. In the past, people would visit restaurants and bars because of the repertoire they had with the people who work there.

With the expansion of modern-day chain restaurants, this kind of intimacy has been lost in most places, where communication is most of the time limited to a speaker box. What sets the Love Boat apart from other res^ taurants is the experience you have with the "bartenders," the friendly sushi chefs who greet everyone as they enter, make recommendations on the best food that day, and are more than willing to spread around f ree drinks for a special occasion. The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu of meat, fish and vegetable combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the imported Japanese beers and sake the Other sushi restaurants do. Asking around, it becomes apparent that most people who go there are not there for the authenticity. "It's really more of a hangout spot than a restaurant for me" says CSUSM junior Jason Reyna. "We come out here after school or work when my friends and I have had a rough day, and it (the restaurant) just has a great positive vibe to it. The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a bar or the formalism of á typi- cal restaurant. We come for that middle ground." Don't get the idea that the Love Boat is only a place for partiers, though. The restaurant is just as much f un as a family environment as well, according to regular patron and local business owner Andy Wegner. "When I bring my kids here, I don't have to worry about them being too distracting to the other people, because there's so much going on already" said Wegner. "At the same time, I prefer to bring them to a place where they can get food that is better for them than pizza or French fries or something." From religious sushi lovers to the first-timers, the Love Boat is the perfect choice for those looking for a local restaurant with a little something extra. For information on the hours for Love Boat San Marcos, call 760-471-7722. The Love Boat also has two other locations: Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove Rd, and now Rancho Bernardo at 11611 Rancho Bernardo Rd.

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

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

W hat does it mean to "go green?" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Last Wednesday was Earth Day and the major television studios were all over it. Local and national news shows changed their logos and fonts to green for the day and featured an incredible amount of stories about recycling. Nevertheless, it was all a show. The next day logos were back to the same colors and the news proceeded as usual. The media needs to be wiser when it comes to environmentally responsible practice. Earth Day is only one day a year, but the meaning of the day should carry through. The actions of the news stations perpetuate the trend that environmental concerns are a trend more than anything else. It was difficult to watch news anchors get excited about recycling when it was obvious they were using some reserved fake enthusiasm. They do not need to get so excited about local recycling on one day. Rather, they should stress the importance of responsible behavior. It was deceiving. Just because they changed logos to green for a day does not help the problems. Sure, it was better than not doing anything. Yet, what they did is similar to an individual solving the D arfur crisis by wearing a red shirt. There is awareness, but they really are not doing anything. If a company really wanted to show they are going green, they could do more in depth stories about alternative energy, promoting recycling, and using their power to motivate the people. One of the reasons people do not care about the environment is because of ignorance. This is where the responsibility o f the television news comes into play. Based on the amount of murder and robbery stories covered, one can assume they have no problem scaring the population. If the news really wants to "go green," they need to let people know that failure to care for the environment will lead to our downfall. It is not a trend. It is being responsible and ethical.

Same-sex m arriage a hot issue today and the question c ouldn't have been more appropriate. Miss CA, C arrie P rejean's answer not only o ffended the j udges, but people around the country. She s tated, "We live in a land where you can c hoose same-sex m arriage or opposite, and you know what, I t hink in my country, in my family, I t hink t hat I believe t hat a marriage should be b etween a man and a woman. No o ffense to anybody out t here, but t hat's how I was r aised." W hile I r espect all viewpoints on the issue of samesex m arriage, I feel the Miss USA pageant is not the platform to express these t ypes of opinions. The Miss USA pageant con- sists of 50 c ontestants r epresenting t heir home s tates and c ompeting to r epresent the United States as a whole. As a r epresentative and as a public f igure, one must s trive to r epresent as many c onstituents as possible. Miss CA's answer, although t rue to her p ersonal b eliefs, was not r epresentative of C alifornia nor the U.S. and abandoned her r esponsibility t o the people of b oth her state and country. Additionally, it is i mportant to note that she did not answer Perez H ilton's question. I believe t his whole c ontroversy could have b een avoided if Miss CA had a nswered the question she was given and ended on that note. Hilton clearly asked if Miss CA felt the other states should follow Vermont and l egalize gay-mar- riage. T here w as not a single mention of t he s tates, t heir a bility to d ecide on t his issue, or even of C alifornia's c urrent decision on P roposition 8. It is sad to me t hat Miss CA decided to t ake t his r oute highlighting how d ivided we stand as a n ation. I w ish she would have put h er p ersonal beliefs aside f or o ne n ight and understood h er p lace as a public f igure. We do not live in a c ountry w here you can choose b etween s ame-sex m arriage or opposite (whatever that is supposed to mean), but maybe one day we w ill. Maybe wheji that day c omes, we can l earn to be a n ation t hat s tands united r ather t han d ivided on the b asis of p ersonal choice. No o ffense t o anyone out there, but I w as r aised t o love everyone no m atter what.

Alexander Hoang, the presidential incumbent, won the ASI presidential election. Many rumors and speculations regarding delay of the presidential election results ensued after ASI released theresultsof all the other ASI positions. Lynn Tcxbert, ASI Vice President and Chair ofthe Elections Committee, answered a few questions: Why did the presidential election results take so long to be revealed? Unfortunately, we hadmany allegations fUed against candidates, mostly the presidential candidates. Therefore, we could notreleasetheresultsof the presidential election until investigations andfollow-upswere finished How do you fed the process went? It was a very long process, but luckily, I had a great election committee and advisors toworkwith. We did a good job handling each situation as problems arose.

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

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

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

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

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

I walked into the water, and, once I got "You killed him," Alexa said. Waiting For W hat Lost andfoundwords on a menu. "Surprise me," he says, and she scribbles something on her pad, doesn't even look up, like people say this to her all the time and she transcribes their meaning. It's the people who make it dive in like four cups of coffee to stave off the night air and space, asking you to decide what Taylor sits solitary at his table watching her pour the coffee into big greenware mugs, her Up red on top, white on the bottom, creased below by the fullness of her chin. The mugs are part of why he likes this place even though they say lazy, too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's doing. She brings him angel food cake heaped with whip cream. What else are you going to eat at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending, what people look like if you stay up all night driving transports for art supplies from state line to state line. In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday special on angel food cake. It is sweet and spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details. Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg steadies itself on the ground while she reaches to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now is a brief scan against the oncoming light of another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in his headlights. She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with an enclosed black platform. The boot up her right leg is fitted closely around the ankle, zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into Omer's Diner, a swish of red keeping time to a beat in his head.

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

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer A week without a plan, movies all over the map, and the result is a week with t hree very enjoyable f ilms. Would you believe a Chinese Will Smith? Film number two is an u pdated movie by an old time comic. You w ill when you see t he f irst selection. Finally we take a look at an old cult classic comedy. So sit back and watch some movies f illed with ups and f ree of downs. "Ping Pong Playa" stars Jimmy Tsai as Christopher ' C-dub' Wang as a young adult who d reams of playing in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't seem to have what it takes to make it h appen. While he claims g enetics have l eft him two inches short of his d ream, the r eality is that his l aziness is k illing any hopes he may have. His b est f riend D.B. is the only one willing to drown his u nrealistic NBA dreams and force C-Dub to accept his lot in l ife and begin doing something with it. The Wang f amily seems like a t raditional Chinese/ A merican f amily, and in t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the f amily " Ping Pong" supply store while the mother teaches p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect" older b rother is a doctor and champion ping-pong player. W hile out g oofing o ff with D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a car w reck. In the accident, his b rother and mother are mildly i njured. C-Dub, with much reticence, f inally takes his place in the family and f ills in for his mother's classes and f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament. In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai is both the w riter and lead actor. He plays it safe and keeps e verything down the middle of the road. For a f ilm with l imited r isks, there is a very nice reward in the f inal p roduct. If you close your eyes f or a moment while watching t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink you were watching the "Fresh P rince of Bel-Air." It would be hard to p redict that Tsai will be the next Will Smith, but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage of his career with Will Smith at the same stage in his. Nice story, nice p roduction, and a very f un f lick. I look f orward to his next f ilm, and a fter watching t his I t hink you will too. What to See *** "Hollywood Endings" is w ritten and directed by Woody A llen, who also s tars as Val, a great f ilm d irector whose career has vanished due to his d ifficult temperament. As a young moviemaker, A llen's humor was hip, c utting, and o riginal. His early f ilms such as " Sleeper," "Take the Money and R un," and " Bananas" quickly established him as an all time great writer, director, and actor. Then he lost his way. Allen began to spend too much time t rying to prove his i ntellectual prowess, much like Dennis Miller, and in the process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the exits. In t his f ilm, Allen has come f ull circle, and r eturns to his comedic roots with a very enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy is as sharp as ever. This is a great cast, with Tea Leoni as Val's ex-wife. She is tough as n ails, yet still has a s oft spot for Val. The best p erformance is by Debra Messing as Lori, Val's love i nterest. Lori is a slightly dimwitted starlet, and M essing's p erformance, although minor, is t ruly captivating. The one limiting aspect of this f ilm is the demographic. I think anyone under sixteen will f ind nothing appealing in this f ilm. The more years you have put behind you f rom age sixteen, the more this f ilm will touch your sensibilities. There are young adults who will strongly i dentify with Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son. This is a solid f ilm f rom s tart to f inish. What to See**** "The Kentucky Fried Movie" This f ilm was w ritten by rookie w riters Jim Abrams and brothers David and J erry Zucker, and was d irected by John Landis. So what? Well, Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal House," "Beverly H ills Cop I II," and Michael Jackson's " Thriller." The w riters went on to w rite such classic spoofs as "Airplane," "Hot Shots," and "Top Secret." What t his means is that t his f ilm is the premiere work of f our stooges, and I mean that in a good way. This is a series of sketch comedies as you might expect to have seen on "SNL" in the 70's. The humor is p uerile, lowbrow, and yet somehow s till, a fter all these years* it is very f unny. Whether it is Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round" (this was made when surround sound was still f resh and new), or "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" (which is there to a ttract the 13-17 male demographic), e verything here ranges f rom mildly silly to very f unny.

What to See *** Lisa Hannigan BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that could not cut it as lead singers. Every musician or band needs backup support on tour, though I am sure some soloists would love if they could harmonize with themselves live. As such, one might imagine backup singers' careers are as fragile as a single-press album. Off the top of your head, try to come up with a musician who started out as humble support and became successful. Unlikely, right? The Eagles are easily the epitome of classic Americana. Glenn Frey started his career with Bob Seger in 1968. The multi-platinum artist Sheryl Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul royalty, contributed vocals with several artists in the 60's and toured supporting David Bowie in the 70's. And Lisa Hannigan gave six creative years to Damien Rice. Now, she has released her first full-length album. Irish native Lisa Hannigan was born in 1981 in County Photo courtesy of americansongwriter.com Meath. She began performing professionally with Damien Rice in 2001, mostly singing with him on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass in live performances. Hannigan also appears on recordings with The Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic Christopher. In 2007, Hannigan and Rice had a "falling out" of sorts, and she immediately left tour to begin solo work. In early 2009, Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in the states. Hannigan's appeal lies in her breathy, ethereal voice. However, in the album track, "Pistachio," she presents her poetic ability as well. The song begins with a simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz bass and gentle drum join the mix, producing a pleasantly folky blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like sugar, tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun," filling the song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums. Hannigan and her band are currently gearing up for a UK tour.

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

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

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

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

Their version of the carne asada burrito is outstanding, especially If it's burritos you're after, then with a few beans added. It will not burritos you shall get! What better only satisfy your hunger, but also way to close out a semester than leaves your stomach smiling and indulging in a tasty burrito or two thanking you for such a delicious on Cinco de Mayo? Within a short treat. If you're not a fan of burridrive from campus, there are plenty tos, their taquitos are the next best of options to satisfy the craving for thing. Withflavorfulbeans and rice, a burrito or a few tacos, all of which I swear it was made by my grandmother! offer outstanding Mexican food. Next up, Sombreros Mexican First up, Mr. Taco, with two locations, Mr. Taco, the original, off Food, home of Blink-182 fans Mission Road, and Mr. Taco #2 everywhere (and yes, I have h admy right across the street, both offer girlfriend, now fiancée, bring me up a vast selection of traditional Mexican food from Sombrero's just Mexican food, not to mention a nice, because).

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

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

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

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

On furlough days, professors are prohibited to work on anything school related, included answering student emails, logging on to WebCT, holding office hours, and any other CSU-work related behavior. Furlough days thus strain student's college experience by providing gaps in the scheduled class dates and create a lack of consistency that students expect from professors. Furlough days became adopted by CSUSM because of a need to. cut the workload and compensation by 9.23 percent, according to the CFA. President Haynes* * public address at Fall Convocation touched on the impact these f urlough days and other changes due to the economic crisis has on students. "As we prepare to welcome students back to class Monday, the joy and excitement I share with CSUSM s taff and faculty is clouded," said Haynes. "However, unprecedented budget cuts are derailing our progress, the message to students is no longer one of access, but one of opportunity denied."

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

The initial responses of the incoming freshmen this year have been positive, an outlook that will hopefully be maintained in the months to come. In addition to all the usual pressures students face in their first year, the tightened budget constraints at school and at home are not making things any easier, That, coupled with the outlook of an ever-shrinking job market and uncertain economic times can give Freshmen trying to decide what they want to major in quite a l otto think about. For the time being, these students have taken their first small steps into the real world, and Summer Recap June that is enough pressure. Considering the positive outlooks these students have displayed, it would be better to follow their example: to overcome fleeting fear and be hopeful for the future.

As a p op culture icon f or her lovely blonde locks, her hairstyle grew to b e idolized by millions in her prime during the 70s. She easily became an international sex symbol for her time. Michael Jackson's death shocks the world At the age of 50, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead. His pop legend in dance and music makes his death heard around the world. Mourned by f ans and celebrities at his memorial service held at the Lós Angles Staple Center holding about 20,000 people, millions also stayed tune to the tributes and special performances in the nationally tele- vised event. His death may be one of the most controversial topics f or the summer since his cause of death still remains under investigation with the most recent Los Angeles coroner's report ruling the cause of death as a homicide. July 1.2009 "Cash for Clunkers" The U.S. administration announced a $1 billion Car Allowance Rebate System in an attempt to not only help boost the economy but also encourage American consumers to trade in their less fuel-efficient for more eco-friendly alternatives. Due to the high demand, Congress approved a $2 billion extension after the original funding was exhausted by July 31, 2009. The original end date for the program, November 1, 2009, was cut short when the "Cash for Clunkers" allowance was officially depleted on August 24,2009. According to the Department of Transportation, "Cash for Clunkers" generated 690,114 transactions in dealerships with Toyota accounting for the majority of the sales.

H ome j a c k i e c a r b a j a l I 'm back for one more semester (I mean it this time) and am returning as editor-in-chief. I am a Literature and Writing Studies major with a writing emphasis and will be applying to grad school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing. When I am not on campus, I am likely working my other job as a legal assistant for a law firm in Carlsbad. I enjoy cartoons (currently watching "The Chipmunks Adventure"), NPR, and fishing (for compliments, not fish). I come from a big family so noise doesn't bother me, t am always willing to offer advice or a helping hand, and I love to laugh. s a i K l r a _ c h a i m e r $ Hello! My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am the new Arts and Entertainment Editor! I am a Communications and Mass Media major. Trader Joe's makes me happy and iced coffee has become my drug of choice. I love live music and enjoy all mediums of art. I am completely fueled by creativity. I would choose a foreign film over the next Jennifer Aniston chick flick and sometimes I am always late to class. a m y _ s a l i s b u r y My name is Amy and I'm the Copy Editor. You've probably seen me with this huge, Brazilian bag I lug around that might be embarrassing if it had j ust one l ess color on it. I'm an odd 20 year-old known best for my astounding ability to go against the flow. I get offended when my favorite bands come on only to serve as background noise. I like to think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose. m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean on your own though. k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009) I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride. I am twenty-three years old. I am going into my final year at Cal State San Marcos and have loved every minute of going here. I am majoring in Business Administration emphasis Marketing. I work at Starbucks and love it. I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named Harrison and he rocks my socks literally and another Westie named Sampson who is my old man that I rescued. I'm a Leo and extremely compassionate, l am a fuH believer in second chances and karma. Wanna know more? Just ask. r u d y _ m a r t i n e z I usually have Kristina write this up for me, but I figured I'd give this a shot this time. My name is Rudy Martinez and this is my fifth semester as a Layout Editor for The Pride, so if I mess something up, sorry. This is my final yeaiL(hopefyily) here at CSUSM and HI be walking in the Spring. I'm getting married on October 3rd to Kristina Lawler. I'm stoked.

To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove worth the wait. In the season premiere of "Housewives," viewers will finally know the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine?

The "Brothers and Sisters" season four premiere will see more of the newest addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister, Sarah, will finally get some action and we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky marriage makes it through Robert's run for governor.

Going into it's third season, this show has definitely turned into a must-see. Watch out, Manhattan, these kids are grown up now and off to college. What will that mean for our favorite characters? If it's anything like the last seasons, lots more drama and exciting new storylines. It will be hard to top last season's twists and turns, but with Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen. I know I will be tuning in on September 14tb to find out and so should you. "Dancing with the Stars" could very likely overshadow the entertainment gems that Mondays o ffer this fall. Though "House" by now should have a strong enough following to weather out the rumba/jive combos of D-list celebrities, "Heroes" has something to prove considering the rapid decline its ratings have been on since season one. "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" are honorable mentions, as both these shows are not only funrfy, but their earlier seasons are available on box sets for quite reasonable prices.

With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the "American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy."

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

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

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

For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive /that Coach Steve Scott has been raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country and National Champion in track & field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's sixth place finish at the National Championships. She got off to a great start on Saturday, running 17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds. Not far behind in the 5K was Cady Villarreal. A breakout performer this spring in track & field, Villarreal proved she will be a force as a cross-country runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to finish 4th. Junior Jessica Sandoval would make it an amazing three Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place with a time of 17:56. All three runners not only finished in the top 10 at this event, but they have a very good chance of earning Ail-American status at Nationals. The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and Kelly Thompson finished 59th, 60th, and 61st with times of 19:10, 19:11, and 19:12, respectively. Melissa Olmos rounded out the women's team with a time of 19:30. For the men's team, the 2009 season debut was just about as impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa, a transfer from Mesa College, defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin the 8K with a time of 25:06. That time alone makes him the #5 top performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still got the whole season ahead of him. Next on the team was Dave Edwards, who finished in 38th place with a time of 26:11. Pat Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and Chris Strasheim were close behind in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and 26:42, respectively. Rounding out the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who ran 27:32. Also competing for the Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21) and Jordan Brooks (28:37). It's an outstanding start to what should be a big season for Coach Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be in action next week at UC Riverside. Photo By Kyle Trembley M en's soccer wins thriller a gainst Westmont September 12, 2009 A rabid crowd of Cougar fans cheered an equally-energetic Cougar men's soccer team to victory in its home opener Saturday. CSUSM defeated Westmont 3-2 in what was a wild, spirited game. The Cougars have now clawed their way back to 3-3 on the season. Westmont falls to 2-2. The hundreds of fans in attendance w fie treated to a thrilling mafch between two talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field. Westmont struck f irst, when in the 18th minute Anthony Niboli found a loose ball in the box and drove it past Cougar keeper Kevin Ernst. Westmont continued to apply the pressure, and would have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a diving full-extension save. With h alftime fast approaching and it looking like the Cougars would go in down 1-0, lightning struck twice. In the 42nd minute, recently-subbed in Casey Wootan sparked the o ffense with a b eautiful pass through the defense to Bradley Seidenglanz. Seidenglanz beai the defense to t h e c a l 1; and blasted a q uick-shorthat beat the keeper cleanly^1 That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^ but the Cougars were not done. Just 59 seconds later, Brandon Zuniga and Wootan electrified the crowd with a beautiful goal. Zuniga made a run to the corner with the ball, and f ired a low cross to Wootan, who made a run to the near corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over the keeper and into the top of the net. The sudden change from 0-1 to 2-1 in the span of a minute was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of Cougar soccer. But Westmont was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the second half on a corner kick in which it appeared Ernst was held back. Doug Harrell took advantage with a solid header into the net. But CSUSM would have the last word, and catch a break of its own as Brandon Zuniga made a nice run, arid was taken down right at the top of the box. A penalty kick was awarded, and redshirt freshman Martin Suarez easily tucked it away for his f irst Cougar goal. Twenty very tense minutes followed, but when the dust settled, the Cougar defense held and the team had a very well-earned carry the momentum into a vtough game Tuesday at Point 3-2 win. The Cougars will look to Loma. Photo By Kyle Trembley �Arts & Entertainment Auf Wiedersehen, Bravo! Restaurant W eek rolls into town THE PRIDE Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15,2009 Project R unway moves to Lifetime BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Project Runway's season six on its new TV network, Lifetime®, still keeps loyal fans flocking. Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have packed up and moved from New. York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from the legendary Parson's School of Design. The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion director for Marie Claire magazine and Michael Kors, an American iconic fashion designer, stayed on board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway brought in a selection of celebrity judges, this season has already seen Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular showing time of 10p.m. Other than location, the show is unchanged from its previous five seasons on Bravo® TV network. The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, $100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and a Paris vacation sponsored by Evian. The casting has stuck to its roots with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the mood of where the garment will be and who will be wearing it," said Ari Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City, MO who never sketches her designs. Michael Kors described her dress as "a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted silver halter dress made her the first designer to go home, Challenges and stresses stay high but the creative workfromthe designers and the dramatics that come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode eliminated a contestant for playing it safe with the design ofa simple black dress. "No one's [design] really looks like crap, but I just think Althea's looked like crap," said Irina Shabayeva, a young designer out of New York City. Regardless of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton, OH, impressed the judges with her three-piece suit, making her the winner of episode 4. This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show had their designs sold at a retailer. This ultimately focused the designs toward commercial sale rather than high fashion runway style. Although it followed the same elimination format as Project Runway, they had stiffly written tag lines such as "You are hanging by a thread." These words fell flat with many fens of "Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's "One day you're in and the next day you're out." Lifetime's interactive website gives viewers an opportunity to rate the designs, the contestants and give feedback. Do not worry if you have missed an episode or two because featured on the website, www. mylifetime.com/on-tv/show/projectrunway every full episode is posted for watching with a few 3 (^second commercials slipped in. Additionally, viewers can follow the show on "Twitter" or "Facebook," where posts provide a fun place for to discuss the show.

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

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

PhotosJbry Name Redacted N ative plant presentation packs auditorium BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only in A rts 111 on the evening of Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen to a p resentation on the u ses of indigenous and endemic plant species. This p resentation was j ust another class session for t hose in P rofessor S mall's VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World C ultures. But many of t hose f illing t he room t his evening were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the n ative peoples with whom we share t his land today. Those a ttending sought to c onnect with those who have been the k eepers of t his land f or m illennia prior to t he a rrival of Western peoples. The t itle of the p resentation, " Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern C alifornia I ndians," may have led one to expect a very d ry c ollegiate discussion of plant, genus and species followed by d etails of the plants f unctions among Southern C alifornia N ative Indian Tribes. Anyone a ttending with "the expectation to receive such a s cientifically e nlightening e xperience would have come away very d isappointed. For anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was a delight. The p rofessor delivered the p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a Luiseno basket weaver who teaches basket weaving on the Pechanga r eservation at the Pechanga C Mmmakilawish School. It was a sentimental j ourney back in t ime to re-visit the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few side t rips t o d iscuss some of the other u seful plant species in the area. Vassar brought j oy and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on the s pecific plant applications than she did on the e ssential and h armonious c o-existence between the p lants and the indigenous people. Her mother was in the audience f or the evening and also c ontributed some of h er wisdom t o t he conversation. In her s torytelling it was clear that m odern society was i mpacting the local t ribes, and l ocal p lants, both in a less than positive m anner. But the stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he knowledge of her own t ribes basket weaving had been lost, and was now being r eborn through the g uidance of elders among other t ribes. She is clearly p assionate about basket weaving, and her enthusiasm to inspire and guide a new generation of basket weavers is u nbounded. Basket weaving locally d epends on the Juncus p lant, a g rass species whose population is being t hreatened by non-native invasive species such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter into t he equation of collecting m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional, but a re also in t heir own right g reat works of a rt. Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison oak w ithin the r eeds of the J uncus p lant; Vassar described methods" she used to p rotect h erself f rom the vicious bite of t he poison oak oil as she h arvested plants for her c raft. A lso t hroughout history, t here have been no b oundaries to c ollecting plant?, and today f ences and b orders impinge on the t radition i tself. A s the local t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s who have c reated physical and s piritual b arriers can c reate new pathways to bridge these t wo c ultures t ogether in living harmony. Perhaps the best way to d escribe the event was a s an i ntercultural conversation, as r eminiscence to old ways, and an introduction for those who were unaware that t here are ways to e xperience l ife's great j oy without the relentless pur- suit of m onetary and m aterial r ewards. Spending t he e vening l istening and c onnecting was c ertainly a reward in i tself. Photos by Blaine H.

I'm a student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm here at Cal State San Marcos on a yearlong exchange program. Anyone heard of the English city of York? Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away from London. So being from the north of E ngla^, the opportunity to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down. For most international students thinking about, studying abroad, California is theprime choice; the sun, sand and sea on your doorstep everyday is a dream come true! I arrived. here a couple of weeks earlier than I was required to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy the place before the classes started. Once those two weeks were up I had to move into the University Village Apartments, which was a bit strange initially for me as everyone at university in England has their own room. I think I've been lucky because I get along with my roommate and the other guys in my apartment. This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get along with someone who you will be living in the same room for the next six months to a year. The people that I have met out here have been nice and welcoming, and I already knew a few people before I came across the pond. This is due to them coming to my university in England on an exchange program. This is also how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent seems to be a nice thing to have here as it's an easy way to start up a conversation and most people seem to like it. I'm taking Mass Media classes here and have found them quite interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for example we recently talked about American Idol and it was nice to mention that Britain had the idea for that show first! The budget crisis was a serious shock to me though as I was not made aware anything like this could happen when I applied to CSUSM. I have had one class cancelled already which was both worrying and annoying at the same time. I was also astounded at the amount of books you have to buy and the cost, although speaking to a few people I think I've been lucky with my course. I think I'll struggle to get used to a few things. For example, why does football have to be soccer here? That hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as ping pong. I know they're the same thing but it's my English pride that takes the hit saying it differently. However, with all the differences, CSUSM seems like a great place to come to and I think I'm going to have a great year! Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 O a nd culture shock BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Who'd have thought after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits, that I wouldn't understand a good majority of local sayings? It's simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food Market (like Cougar Corner, only British) to pick up a loaf of bread and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I follow up with an immediate thank you only to have the person on the other side of the register reply with "cheers." No, we weren't toasting to my purchase with a large pint of Guinness, this is a local expression for "thank you" and/or "have a nice day." Everywhere I go this is said along with varying other says that I seem to slowly pick up, like the fact that frenchfriesare known as chips, then what are Doritos know as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically change depending on where you are in the world and how you're perceived. I know I got some strange look when I said "fanny pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And with that comes the realization of culture shock—the idea of being in a new and foreign place where things as little as words could mean completely the opposite. But it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are one that will help throughout the rest of the time living in said coun- try and it's definitely something to take back home. Speaking of taking things back home, accents! They're sexy, different, and above all, just plain awesome! Going to class every other day puts you at the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my dream would be to come sounding like Daniel Craig or something. And along with the culture shock, comes the fact that I myself didn't know that I had an accent apparently. According to locals, I'm the one with the American accent, and somehow they can pinpoint that I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply something that I never thought about, here I was ready to go to the UK and gain an accent for myself. All the while, people already in the UK were prepping to hear accents from varying countries, including theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that even though almost every country contains people, buildings, roads, we're all essentially the same. We are people, united under the banner of Homo sapiens. But we should all strive to learn from the cultures of others to influence and better ourselves. So, I propose a trade, how about the UK brings over a Chipotle franchise here to understand the deliciousness of it (I'm dying for a burrito STAT!). And in return, America will create a method to gain cool British and phrases to better understand our friends across the pond. Deal? L ooking to join a g ym? Y ou a lready h ave!

You've heard of it: the idea that Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends beyond our collective ignorance concerning world politics and events. It also controls even our pop cultural preferences. Of course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its inhabitants to some degree. The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia. The problem is, the greater part of international musicians that are established in America are the ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest and most powerful record labels currently call the States home. Seeing as how artists like Mariah Carey hog even the World Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international musicians is to do just that: hunt. I offer the following artists under the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an American as well and can only go as far as the Internet may take me. Onward, I say! Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer and producer Allah Rakha "A.R." Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native India before "Jai Ho" came to the States. He's worked with several Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as well as in Indian communities in Europe. Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop singer of Russian origin. She gained popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s with the rise in mainstream Anime interest, and the majority of her fanbase is still in Japan. The language Origa sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than one language in the same song. Though she is no longer an active artist in Russian, the Japanese still can't get enough. Polish music culture is unusual because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the charts. Rather, Poland has a huge death metal scene, with the band Vader at the forefront. As you'd imagine, the band took their name from the Star Wars series, and their style certainly reflects the character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the THE P RIDE Image courtesy of Jmignited.com Czech Republic, Vader satiates their fans' desire for the best death metal in Eastern Europe. For over 25 years, Egyptian musician Amr Diab released and continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's smashed album sales records throughout the Middle East and is as loved today as in the mid-80s when he first came to prominence. His dance-style music crosses over to places including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, and is considered the favorite of all Arab pop singers. The planet is a big place, and the musical world is even larger. Each of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and reasons for why its people enjoy the music they do. Language is an understandable barrier, but the love of music is unanimous. A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Knowing a successful author brings reality to the forefront and is no longer a distant hypothetical for aspiring student writers on campus. The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was a grand evening filled with buzz and excitement. Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely published author with work ranging from poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The National Critics Circle Fiction Award in 1993 nominated Martin for "The Gothic Twilight." His most recent collection is "The Possibility of Music." He graduated from New York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection "Changing the Subject," will debut in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press. Professor Mark Wallace started the literary series on campus and over the years brought real world experience to the academic scene. His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and discuss published work with the authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had attended the event as a required assignment. However, she said, "I would have come even if it wasn't an assignment, because [Martin] is a great writer and I can learn something from him." The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent and preconceived notions. He read a story inspired by illegal whaling practices and by Herman Melville's « Moby Dick. He forewarned us about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals for their own self-serving. Student Jeannine Clark' had mixed feelings on this aspect of on Martin's writing. She said, "Stephen-Paul Martin obviously is a very compassionate man with a big heart for animals. At times though, I felt like he had an agenda to push and that got in the way of the writing for me." She followed by adding, "I do think the reading series is important for literature and writing students so that we get the chance to see contemporary writers read and discuss their work." ; Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis. Last year there were three Literary Series events. This semester there will only be two events not because of lack of demand but because of lack of funding. "It's like they cut the things that help us most. I'm here because I want to be a good writer. Who else can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying for?" said student Rachel Busnardo. Salt to taste Pepper to taste Cook macaroni according to package direction in salted water. Drain and let cool. Fill pot with cold water and add eggs. On stovetop, bring water and eggs to boil. Bringing the eggs to boil starting with cold water will keep them f rom breaking. Boil eggs for seven minutes.

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

According to the official Army autopsy reports in the film, Dilawar was brutally beaten to death after only five days in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. His death was reported on widely and it is clear that those who caused his death were heinous in their actions and it is still unclear how high up the chain of command the orders to treat prisoners in this fashion went. It is not too difficult to imagine that this came from the very highest levels of military command. No matter the driving force behind these crimes, this film goes to great lengths to try to discern the truth.

We are p aying more, and getting less. If the school is not going t o stick to these goals, maybe it is time to reevaluate them and be honest about the fact that the student, the teacher, and the quality of education are not a priority. The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to help classes. But t his is only a t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a f reshman, I did not sign up f or these cutbacks or expect that my campus would so easily discard my desire to l earn. On the CSUSM homepage, our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must be some kind of j oke. Sure, i t's a milestone, but t here is not much t o celebrate if a fter twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress. Now is the t ime to get involved and make s omething happen f or the better. It is t ime to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents, like they promised us d uring the elections. Every person can get involved by signing up at www.savecsusm.org, where we can rally together to show that we care. If we let these l imits walk all over us, it is going t o keep happening. Those behind them are going to keep cutting back because they know they can. It is t ime to get our heads out of the sand. We cannot be the change our f uture needs if we cannot get a decent education. you can do, two things, either or both of which will definitely make you a happier person and each of which take very little time. First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week (put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can be anything from thè most trivial (like this weather or that bagel), to your feelings about the people who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature. Write down 5 things, and as you do, try to actually feel the sense of good fortune and gratitude for each of them. That's it! Simple! Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now or in the past. Write a one-page letter to that person, thanking the person for what s/he has meant And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel also notice a good feeling visiting for his/her presence in your life you as you realize your good for- and how the person you are owes tune and how your life has always so much to him/her.

If you can't do it face to face, do it on the phone. Guarantee: you will both feel wonderful! So there you go, two simple exercises. Try either one or both. Amazingly, even doing a gratitude journal entry a couple of times a week will, I'm positive, make you a happier person. Counseling Services here at Cal State are available to all students at no charge. You don't have to have a 'mental illness' to see us. Many students come when they are struggling with the common stresses of college life, especially when these are 'getting in the way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn more about themselves and grow as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with someone who won't judge you and who will strive to support your happiness and success. If you would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

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

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

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

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

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

The currently recognised sections or disciplines in International-Style DanceSport are: The Standard section, The Latin American section, The Ten Dance section, (and) The Rock 4 n' Roll section." The IDSF currently has a presence with National Member Federations in 86 countries. Following the lecture, the audience finally got what they came for as three separate dance couples, and another group with four female dancers demonstrated what the IDSF is all about. Performing four of the standard dances from IDSF competition were dance partners Paul, Cloud and Borbala Bunnett who beautifully and gracefully danced the Waltz, the Tango, the Foxtrot, and the Viennese Waltz. Dazzling beaded costumes, changed between dances added to the majesty of the moment. Not to be outdone, Serena Cuevas of Deseo Dance Company in San Diego showed off some very hot Latin moves with her dance partner Anthony. Husband and wife team David and Jennifer of Majesty in Motion also turned up the heat with some passionate Salsa moves of their own. On this night of great dancing and entertainment there was not one star, but a small constellation as everyone involved lit up the night and left a little stardust in the memories of everyone in the audience.

Dagnabit Productions brings musical comedy to life at CSUSM BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer What do you get when you put together Dagnabit Productions and a musical comedy script?

XXII N O. 5 T HAT'S NSIDE Local band headlining S OMA show this Friday ns fts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine feSee Page 6 r icks & Treats p See Page 8 o p S cary M ovies BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor In Chief On weekend nights, the doors at SOMA open to fans of a range of musical acts from the more mainstream such as Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, and Thrice to up-and-coming acts like Forever the Sickest Kids and Boys Like Girls. For local bands, getting the opportunity to perform at this hidden venue located across from the San Diego Sports Arena is a big step upfromjam sessions in the garage. This Friday, Oct. 23, two of CSUSM's very,own will perform with the rest oftheir band, Trains and Clouds, as the headliners at SOMA'S next show. The band's current four-man roster includes CSUSM's Philip "Felipe" Macias on guitar and Ben RofTee on bass, with locals Drew "Drewski" Carillo on drums and Jonny Paine on piano and vocals. Trains and Clouds originated back in 2007 when current members, Carillo and Paine, teamed up with two other long-time friends, Isaac Zagunis and Olin Brown. With the band formation complete, they went straight into writing music, developing a distinct sound. In typical fashion, however, the group had yet to come up with a name. During a brainstorming session, one member asked the others what they each liked doing. "One of us said 'Stare into the clouds,' while another answered, 'I like to think and gather my thoughts on trainrides,'so we put two and two together and came up with Trains and Clouds' representing thought or the thinking process," said Carillo. Shortly after the band began performing at venues such as SOMA, Zagunis and Brown opted out of the band. Remaining members, Carillo and Paine, later added Macias and RofFee to the revised group. "When Jon told me that Trains and Clouds was looking for a bassist, I asked them if I could try out," said Roffee. "I didn't have any real experience as a bassist and only very minimal bass equipment but things went well and the rest, as they say, is history." Though Trains and Clouds' Facebook page categories the band into the Indie/Alternative/Pop genre, the band members themselves are hesitant to define their sound. "I would describe the sound of Trains and Clouds as a mixture of themes rather than a handful of genres. To me, genres are silly because they are often times pinned to a certain lifestyle or counterculture," said Macias. "When that happens, fens seem to alienate themselvesfromgenres of music because „theyiJon^ associated with those who do look the part" As a guitarist, Macias' technical influences include John Mayer, Jesse Barrera (My American Heart), Justin Shekoski (Saosin), and Jonathan Paine. "In our music, there is a synthesis of a lot of different influences into something that is straightforward and relentlessly melodic. We're not some forcefully abstract, self-professed 'experimental' pretentious indie rock band," said Roffee. "There is something natural and communicative in the way we write and it seems like a lot of people have an easy time connecting to our music. We make no apologies for ambiguities in describing our music, there is so much more explained in the process of discovering it than we could ever try to iterate in words." This emerging band, with tracks such as "Oh Sailor" and "Sketch Alley Memorial," promises to show the crowd a good time this Friday. "Our music is for everybody. We try to create music for all age groups and tunes that people want to hear over again," says Macias. "The songs we write together are our favorite songs, so it's even more enjoyable when we can share them with an audience." Openers for the Oct. Images courtesy of Trams Armada, and Wintercolour. Tickets are $8.00 with doors opening at 7:00pm. "People should come out to the show because we are a band that fills the room with our energy," said Carillo. "If you enjoy a good live stow we definitely recommend coming out to our show this Friday" According to its website, SOMA is committed to "teaching new talent how to market and progress through the industry while offering a safe and energetic environment for those SOMA prides itself on exposing the community, especially local youth, to music and entertainment in a drug and alcoholfreeenvironment. The venue also supports various charities including "Stand Up Fear Kids" and "Street of Dreams: Musicians for Education." By pre-ordering tickets online through hmatiks. com, a portion of the purchase goes on to benefit "Homeless Teens of San Diego."

As exciting as this is on a purely f un level for video games, it also harkens to science fiction horror.

Or if this got combined with robots we may find ourselves in the apocalyptic world prescribed by the "Terminator" series. Yet nothing about this device is scarier than the idea of the government using it to monitor and subdue the population in a f uture similar to George Orwell's "1984."

Not j ust the money needed to cover all the increased tuition f ees for next semester, but money for all the extraneous needs of the "holiday" season, like Halloween costumes, C hristmas presents, and Winter break vacations. Many students already have p art time j obs, but for those who are f ull-time students and need some extra cash for the holidays, there is always the option of seasonal work. When "seasonal j obs" are mentioned, the immediate thought for most of us is the guy waving signs for costume stores on the street corner. But the reality is that a number of retailers look for extra workers around this time to handle the increased customer volumes, and most don't involve wearing rubber masks. Probably the number one source of seasonal work comes f rom food retailers. Don't f ind the idea of f lipping burgers too appealing? T hat's okay; many places like Starbucks and local grocery stores o ffer viable alternatives and need people to help during the rush of Thanksgiving/Christmas customers. Positions like bagger or cashier may not seem that glamorous, but when in need of extra income there is little room to complain. Also, local pumpkin patches that spring up along San Marcos Boulevard are good places to f ind work because they inevitably become Christmas t ree lots, insuring a position up until December. Not to mention the bevy of stores, both food and otherwise, in local malls that need extra employees for the holiday r ush. Food, however, is not everyone's idea of ideal work, even in temporary situations. During the month of October, quite a few people apply to the Halloween costume superstores that seem to be springing up in the wake of stores like Circuit City and Mervyns closing for good. But there are plenty of year-round retailers looking for p art-timers as well, most notably electronics stores like RadioShack, where employees haves the chance to earn more than hourly wages with commission sales. In addition, big chain clothing stores in local malls and outdoor plazas, like JCPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom "-^•j.1 o ffer seasonal work that can lead to promotions and higher positions as time goes on. "I started out here as a cashier last November," said Chelsea Pratt, a CSUSM sophomore who works at the Nordstrom in the Westfield Mall at Escondido. "It was j ust as a parttime cashier at f irst, but now I 'm a part-time manager. So yeah, part-time j obs can d efinitely lead to opportunities to d ealing with rude customers and t heir kids all day? And on t he f lip side, you may find something you really enjoy doing and want to continue for t he remainder of your time at school. So if money's tight for you t his early into Fall, it may be t ime to bite the bullet and look for something that f its in with your school schedule. But be warned: don't expect to get Holidays off. advance." Not a lot of these " jobs" sound like a dream come t rue, but hey, they are only t emporary. If a nything, your experiences can be the f uel t hat f ires you to work harder in school and f ind your career. What could be better motivation to reach for that higher j ob position than the memory of coming home late every night, smelly and t ired f rom Photo courtesy of venturacountvstar.com — r WBm ¡1 111 Located just over tfie hill from Cat State ,San Marcos right in t he heart of t he San , Elijo Hills Towncenter, MarketWalk p uts you steps from t he best t hat this award winning MARKETWALK I a t s a n e l i j o h ills¡8 12 U nique T ownhomes Starting in the High $ 300's D on't m iss t his l imited o pportunity t o o w n a p i e c e o f t h e S a n Elijo T o w n c e n t e r community h as t o offer - convenient Towncenter retail, a n 18 mile trail network, a 19 acre park and 2 new schools, MarketWalk's flexible floorplans feature designer selected interior finishes which reflect the distinctive exterior architecture.

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

The two-round tournament, which was hosted by San Diego State on Salt Creek Golf Course in Chula Vista, featured six NCAA schools and the Cougars. Playing with j ust four players, the Cougars shot a team round of 339 on Tuesday, four shots better than Monday's 343, for a total of 682. Cal State Northridge won the event with a team total of 595. Leading the way for CSUSM was once again Stephanie Cole. The sophomore shot 80 on Tuesday a fter Monday's 79, giving her a final score of +15 (189), good for 18th place in the field. Second on the team was Ellyse Siu, who shot back-toback 81's to finish tied for 19th with a 162. Roxanne Mejia shot 85-82 to tie for 25th, and Jennifer Conway shot 98-96 to finish 40th. Northridge's Ashlee Nagamine won the individual competition with a score of 146. was j ust one mistake or bad bounce away f rom losing. But in the 85th minute, Bradley Seidenglanz hit a ball into the box, and Brandon Zuniga f inally found the back of the net with a header. That would prove to be the game winner, as CSUSM escaped with a 1-0 win. " The team is w illing t heir way to win," commented Pulvers. Keeper Kevin Ernst was rarely tested and made one save to pick up the shutout. CSUSM will be in action t his Friday at Soka. M en's soccer escapes La Sierra with 1-0 win October 18, 2009 It w asn't easy, but Cougar men's soccer battled through tough playing conditions and f inally found the back of the net to e arn a 1-0 v ictory a La Sierra University. The win improves t he Cougars to 8-5 on the year. La Sierra f alls to 4 -8. Sunday's contest had all the makings of a t rap game for the Cougars, who have been r iding high since a 1-0 s tart. The squad was coming off an emotional, dominating 5-1 win on Senior Day and playing on the road against a team with a losing record - all ingredients for a potential let-down. CSUSM came out f iring, generating t hree very dangerous early chances but narrowly missing on all of them.

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

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

ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday October 29 during university hour, men and women alike visited the Library Plaza and participated in "Love Your Body Day." The plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies. The ASI Women's Center put on this event for the fourth year in a row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started this event 12 years ago. Jessica Castro, a Women's Center peer educator and the coordinator of "Love Your Body D ay" described it as "an event about positive body image." The NOW website descepáis it as a day encouraging wqújga*tó "fight b ack" against cosmetic, fashion, and diet industries which "work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement" in order to sell their products. The event on campus included tables by organizations f rom on and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree samples of the LUNA bar which they market towards women, and Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to anyone who got a card stamped to prove he or she had checked i | n at every booth. §^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an intern, talked to students about healthy habits and remind them that they have access to nutritional counselors. One popular table at t he event was one at which people could color drawings of a vagina with crayons. Melissa R odriguez of t he Women's Center explained that t he coloring sheets were " for the inner child in all of u s t o get more f amiliar with their vagina and to not t hink of them as ugly or scary," and explained that children o ften Photos by Maeve Camplisson learn t hrough coloring books and worksheets. The Women's Center had another booth selling pink shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body." They also gave away buttons with various empowering messages. The LGBTA club set up a table against domestic violence, and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards anyone no matter their gender, despite popular stereotypes. The Pride Center gave away f ree bracelets and supplies while visitors had the o pportunity t o write and draw positive messages inside a traced body. �TEP D H RE I Faces & Places Way, Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti Money Management BY JAMES ROCHE Pride S taff Writer Depending on whom you are and how much you keep track ofthe news and politics, you may have heard that the Tea Party Express arrived in San Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor Park. The movement hits 38 cities in 17 different states, starting in San Diego, California and eventually ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and most notably Texas, which has the most stops on the schedule with 7. As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty Express supportirs were actually protesting a bout Upon arriving I sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering, m ^ y holding t iigns expressing their views. "Just Say No to the O," "Socialists are just thieves with an education," "Obama don't attack our freedom of Xpression, What are you afraid of, the truth?" I decided to interview a few local residents about why they were at the protest and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and now they're in the White House." Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought it was going. He also talked about his views on health care, he said, "It's not about giving health care, it's about controlling the people." _ Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move towards socialism, taking over the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the health care system, not replace i t" When asked about their thoughts on Obama they seem to respond negatively towards the President, one man said, "He's pathetic. He's put all the tsars in the white house, he starting out with socialism. If he gets a second term the country will be in a hell of a situation." Other pvrotestors went further, "He's completely t akingthe country in the wrong direction. He's not done anything. He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona, a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr; ferent insight O Obama, he said, Q "Would you I k your 16 year old daughter learn to drive in your $100,000 Mercedes?" I replied no, he then said* "Well that is like what Obama is doing with this country; he?s learning to drive with this country.- That had t o Be the best quote that I got during the day. He also said, ¿"He's buying people, buying the public, with peanuts." As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at the protestors' comments and form your own opinion. Do you think these people have a point? Or are they completely wrong? Do you think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

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

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