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

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

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

I got my masters in English at Florida State University and my PhD at the University of A rizona. Pride: When did you start teaching?

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

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

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

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

The story takes a hard look at AIDS and HIV in South Africa and provides what seems an honest, albeit harsh, look at the problem.

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

SOC 415 -Divorce and Remarriage (4) Study abroad the US BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer I'm back again, g1vmg you another one ofmy insights into my experiences here in America. This time I thought I would comment on the differences in how people get from A to B in Britain and America. The first, probably most obvious point I think you would agree is that here in America you need a car. This is noticeable to everyone. Ifyou don't have a car you think how much you need one, and ifyou do have a car you pray that nothing happens to it. Being an exchange student, I don't have a car, so it can sometimes make me feel restricted in what I want to do. Itcan be quite frustrat­ing when you think ofsomething good to do, but you can't do it, as there is no way of getting to that place. If you're lucky, you know someone that has a car and can take you places. Fortunately, my girlfriend does and she takes me anywhere I want to go! Here at CSUSM, there is the Sprinter train that helps people get around. It can help you get aJI the way from Oceanside to Escon­dido, which means easy access to the beach! It only costs $2 to ride and the longer you're on it, the more you can get for your money. The train system here seems good. I have only used it a couple of times so I can't really pass a clear judgement on it. I think the main difference between CSUSM and my university back home (UCLAN) is that this university is acommuter school, so the major­ity of people live off campus, whereas at my university in Brit­ain the majority of students live on campus. Back in Preston, UK, there is no need for a car. Every­thing students need is within lO minutes walking distance: pubs, clubs, shops, you name it. The train station is also within walk­ing distance and you can get to any part of the country quite easily (although I am aware of the fact that Britain is a lot smaller). The public transport system is not perfect in Britain. It can be expensive, especially if you wait until the last minute and they're not always on time. One thing I have noticed here in America is the sheer size of the cars: they're huge. Some people have told me that they have small cars and when I've seen them, I've said that would be a decent sized car in Britain. If the people that owned these cars came to Britain and went to buy a car the first question they would ask is where the rest of the car was. It remains a mystery how some ofthese big cars fit into Study abroad • BY IVAN GARCIA the magic carpet flight (which I Pride StaffWriter hear I bear an uncanny resem­blance too [possible job candi­ Yes, soul searching.

But I do know that most likely because you are being away has given me a time comfortable with it and this is and place to really think about what you know. But being away life, myself, and those around from that opens an entire world me. Gaining some insight into of possibilities, new frontiers what I want from myself, from of emotion and social behavior others, future goals, what I that you might have never expe­want out of life and love, all rienced before. At the expense these things come to the fore­ofsounding like Aladdin during front of the mind when I'm the UK feeling truly alone. Search­ing the mind and reflecting on these memories is something that I can't help but do. Liter­ally, even to the point where I stay cooped up in my room and just think. Think about home, life, love, and whatever else may be on the menu at the local self-reflection bar and grill. The point I'm trying to make is that taking time for self­reflection can happen anywhere. But when you are away from your expected social behaviors, actions, and responsibilities, it allows you to hopefully see who you really are or if you're just playing some role that many simply expect from you. Take this time to think ahead, reflect on your past actions, and come to terms with them or set them right. I know that this week's edition of Abroad in the UK was a little different and off such small garages. I have also noticed the size of the freeways are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is the average width. It may or may not be bard to believe but Britain's motorways (freeways) are only 3 lanes wide. From my point of view you don't necessarily need a car in Britain, especially ifyou're a stu­dent, and the transport system can be good enough to get you around. However, you definitely need a car here in America to get around, mostly due to the biggest overrid­ing factor: the place is just so big. the beaten path, but then again, change happens. I'm sure I'll be back to my normal style of spewing out the literary equiva­lent ofhitting two bricks against each other for three hours, but then again, this just shows a range that can be gained by reading and interpreting the metaphorical newspaper of self (Ok I'll stop now, all these met­aphors are hardly substantiated to this extent, it's like I pasted them on with 3 year glue-stick).

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

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

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

CSUSM finishes the season with a 10-5-4 record. Vanguard, the #8 seed nationally, improves to 13-1-6 and advances to the NAIA National Championship in Alabama. In what was a tightly-contest match that resembled the one between these two teams in September, Vanguard's defense smothered the Cougars' offense, limiting San Marcos to 3 shots on the day. Keeper Kaycee Gunion, the A.I.I. Conference Tournament MVP, kept CSUSM in the game by making a season-high 8 saves, but it wasn't quite enough. The game's lone goal came in the 17 minute. San Marcos was whistled for a hand-ball in the box to give Vanguard a penalty kick, and Karri Currier capitalized on it. Senior Clarissa Hidalgo led the Cougars with two shots, and Kelly Wherry took one. Despite the loss, it was still quite a second half of the year RonPulvers. "But there's no other for CSUSM.

The 8K race, held at Fort Vancouver in Washington, was won going away by Malone College with a team score of 44. Concordia (Neb.) took second at 166, and Southern Oregon placed third at 188. th CSUSM finished with a total of 441. In his first year as a Cougar, junior Muluken Beressa earned All-American status with his performance on Saturday. He finished 21 with a time of 25:43. The race caps off what has been a recordsetting debut season for Beressa, who set the school record in the 8K with his first-place performance at the Conference Championships. Second on the team was Dave Edwards, who took 9 9 with a time of 26:33. The senior had been coming on strong throughout the second half of the season, finishing a strong third at the Conference Championships. Chris Capeau followed shortly after, placing 116 with a time of 26:39. Next was freshman Chris Strasheim, who took 171 at 27:06, and rounding out the team's top-five was Pat Fitzgerald in 177 at 27:11. Also competing for the Cougars were Bernardo Bahena (238 ; 27:48) and Casey Evans (264 ; 28:21). Coach Scott's squad had higher expectations entering this meet, but only because the season has been so successful. "The guys are disappointed in the result," noted Coach Scott.

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

They do not have lunch specials only regular dinner menu but the portions are large with prices more than reasonable ranging from $7 for tofu veggie to $12 for seafood. Portions are large for lunch, so there is enough to share or have leftovers.! hate to say it, but I ate the whole thing. I was so stuffed I thought I would pop (side note: I can eat a lot! My husband is much bigger than I am and I eat more than he does at times. In five more years, it will really start catching up with me). It has a Very light sauce, savory and not too sweet, and two fat slices of lime and per- fect spice; truly a lovely balance. I give them props because the tables, walls, and ceiling were actually clean for a hole in the wall restaurant. My only complaint, and this was too bad to over look, is the menus. They were old dirty and falling apart. I wanted to wash my hands after touching them. On my second visit, I had the Pad Woon Sen ,a glass noodle and veggie dish in a light soy-based sauce, accompanied by Tom Kha Gai. The food is just too good. I had the Tom Kha and oh my goodness! It was the best I have ever had. The owner said it was because they use real coconut milk whereas other places use powdered coconut milk. I had no idea powdered coconut milk existed, huge difference apparently. I would like a little more acidity for my personal taste but a lemon wedge could fix that. I think next time I will try the pho. Yes, they have pho here too for all you pho fans. tomato slices. Lay chicken breast over tomatoes. Coat chicken breast with olive oil or oil spray.

He continues his essay "It was possible for man to enter a covenant with god under which he could live collectively in social justice and individually in moral responsibility. To this extent, Israel stands forth as the heir to the religious history of the preceding millennium." To extend the questing for truth further, the entire Historicity of Jesus has been for centuries a looming and unanswered question as one can see in many scholarly texts including "The Historicity of Jesus" by Shirley Jackson Case. But to return from the digression, the point is that effort is required to either confirm or debunk the information in this or any film. That is after all what every one of us should do with every film we view that claims as its basis truth or authority. Only then can we learn, grow and become more complete in our undei> standing of the world in which we live. So if I may be so bold as to highly recommend that everyone see thisfilm.And yes I know we are all going to revel in the upcoming winter break. What better time could there be to take a serious look at a serious film and then find out where truth lies, or if purported truth is a lie. What to See ***** When I suddenly had an unavoidable craving for Pad Thai* I panicked! I had class at CSUSM and my solid Thai joints are in Oceanside. I have to give Kinaly some major props. The server/ owner is a doll and very friendly, very familiar with her customers. It felt more like having lunch at your aunt's house than eating at a restaurant. I love that. I did not get a spotlight on the "only one" OMG! I eat alone. 1 know how strange for a woman to eat alone. The restaurant's name is Kinaly Thai but the sign out front simply says "Pad Thai Restaurant." Side Note: Eating alone is a wonderful experience. If you have issues with being self conscious, try it. Please do not eat alone and talk on your cell phone. This will rob you of the experience. Texting and cell phone games are acceptable as well as a book or iPod. I am married and, you know, with kids, eating alone is almost a treat. I digress. I got the tofu veggie Pad Thai. Simply dinner BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer W hat fo see on DVD BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer After weeks of putting off my daughter's request to see this film, I finally watched it when she came down to visit this week. I should know by now that when she suggests that I should hear, see or read something it is always a good recommendation. She is rarely wrong in her advice, and this film is no exception. "Zetigeist" This is a documentary film steeped in controversy and the birthplace of even more controversy. It is a threepart film that attempts to explain three different topics, as three separate issues. The three parts include the origins of modern monotheistic religion, an explanation of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and an explication of how the masses have become ensnared in a perpetual debt trap. The material itself is enough to raise the f ur on the backs of the necks of many a viewer. In our open society, with you as openminded viewers, the first order of business is to view the film. The second and most important part is to do so with a healthy amount of skepticism. Another piece to the puzzle with this, or any other controversial films such as this, is to allow for the possibility that what you know to be true, may not be. Finally, talk to others, research to find the truth to the best of your ability, and avoid making any decisions based on preconceived beliefs. Should a viewer watch with a closed mind, there is no chance to expand his mind with new knowledge. For a moment, we shall digress from the movie. The first segment of the film explores Islamic/Judeo-Christian origins. While most would agree that the oldest monotheistic religion to spring forth from the Middle East is Judaism with Christianity and Islam to follow later, many would take offense that the concept that monotheism arose from earlier religions. Although the movie focuses on Pagan and Egyptian roots to the development of a Jesus narrative, we should come to know that Judaism did not spring forth directly from the mouth of God, and thai is arose from earlier religions. As W.W. Meissner points out in his paper "Notes on Monotheism: Origins," the narratives of Genesis 1-11 "are significant in that they bear a close relation to similar material in Assyrian and Babylonian tablets, and show little Photo courtesy of Aromy X.

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

C SUSM get inked Students demonstrate their love for tattoos. BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Elyce Maxwell, a current junior studying for a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and a minor in Psychology, got herfirsttattoo at the age of 18. "One of my tattoos is a picture of a bow, with the saying T he greatest gift starts and ends with family'." In an elegant cursive script, the black lettering on the top of her foot is decorated with a classic red bow just below her ankle. "I was inspired to get it because my family means the world to me and no matter what happens they will always be the best part of my life," said Maxwell. Maxwell got this particular tattoo at the age of 19 and at a local tattoo shop Tattoo. FatKid Tattoo specializes in custom tattoos while also offering a wide range of classic artwork pieces and styles. Price range depends on artists and appointments and walk-ins are welcome. "All I have to say is if you're planning on getting it [tattoo] on your foot it will hurt!" Tierra Spence, a junior majoring in Communications holds a sweet spot for tattoos, a sugared skull representing both of her grandmothers sits above her hipbone. "I have always had a love for Dia de Los Muertos art and I wanted something tattooed on me with that style of art but I also wanted it to mean something to me," said Spence. After finding the perfect design of a Dia de Los Muertos skull done by a close friend, she customized it to a perfect fit to represent her grandmothers. "I went through a lot when they passed away and one day I was looking at drawing my friend Theresa Lavelle did for a t-shirt design of a Day of the Dead skull and it was exactly what I was looking for in a tattoo," said Spence. Dia de Los Muertos, or more commonly recognized as the Day of the Dead, is a holiday tradition particular to Mexican culture a cknowledging the death of loved ones in a festive celebration. S pence lost both of her grandmothers J about eight month8 apart from each other and t hrough the struggle of the loss, she made a t ribute to them with some p ermane ink. Her tattoo is a classic Day of the Dead skull done with black ink and shows only the front facial features filled in with small details. On the forehead of the skull, a heart symbol with a corner piece missing symbolizes her emotional loss and grievances for her grandmothers. "I love looking at it and remembering my grandmothers. I know that sounds odd, but the heart just really represents how much I miss them and that why it's missing a piece, but it brings me comfort." Full of color and action, Alseeandra Uriarte, a senior majoring in Human Development, got a tattoo to represent a milestone in rock artist,. Atreyu. Uriarte got her tattoo from Good Neighbor Tattoo her life. Covering almost half of her lower back, an image of two vintage western pistols filled with intricate details of red designs shoot out smoke to form a heart with the lyric "Just live and breathe, try not to die again." The pistols feature Ted roses surrounding the gun handles and the red roses also surround the bottom of the smoky heart. "I've had a very rough year and in the midst of all the turmoil, I lost myself and who I was striving to become, it was not a very fantastic feeling and I vowed to never let myself 'die' again," Uriarte said. The lyrics comes from popular Photo courtesy of Alseeandra Uriarte Escondido. "I got my first one {tattoo] on my 18 birthday. Now I'm turning 21 and I have four.

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

According to Starbucks, com, Starbucks has pledged to donate $1 million to the Red Cross in addition to what it is able to collect from customers at its stores. Bank of America is also accepting donations for the Red Cross. Phone companies are accepting donations via text messages. For example, people can text "Yele" to 501501 and Wyclef Jean's Yele Foundation will receive a $5.00 donation, appearing on the patron's phone bill. Even Cal State Marcos ASI's See Page 8 ji \ CAB is running a fundraiser for Haiti collecting "gently worn men's, women's, and kid's shoes," as part of Sport Chalet's Soles4Souls drive.

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

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

The company mobilized as much of its available staff as possible in response to last weeks storm, highlighting the severity of the last round of rain to pass through. Students can anticipate more rainstorms over the next few months on account of the El Niño climate shift. The next storm is expected to arrive on Tuesday but should only last partly into Wednesday before relenting.

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

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

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

T his f irst game of the new season was a m onumental occasion. It o ccurred on the new s oftball f ield located behind the Clarke b uilding. The a ttendance of t he g ame was over t riple of last seasons o ff campus g ames. *Vr Alyssa D ronenburg, who was r esponsible f or two h omeruns in the f irst g ame, t hinks that the new f ield will help develop the p rogram f urther, and give the team more s upport. T his season she looks forward to beating her b atting stats f rom last year, as well as w ining a National Championship with her t eam. The new coach f or t he C ougars, Dave W illiams, even put in labor and t ractor d riving t ime in order to get the f ield completed f or t his season. He said t he f ield was made p ossible w ith t he strong b acking of t he U niversity. He believes t he new f ield will give t he t eam t he c omfort, and f ans they were lacking last s eason. Coach Williams is blessed with a veteran heavy s quad, which he believes w ill give t he team added c onfidence and composure under pressure. T his d efinitely seemed the case in the second game, when the C ougars were down t hree in t he 5th, and made a comeback to t ie in t he 6th. Chanel Rose pitched two outs, and with b ases loaded, B renna Sandberg came in t o get the last out. Together they held o ff the Redland Bulldogs to keep t he tie. See Softball, Page 6 Budget p roposal offers hope for C S U b udget w oes BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor Aiîiidst a statewide f inancial crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger unveiled a n ev| p lan, earlier this month to assist C alifornia's beleaguered public higher education systems. Gov, Schwarzenegger unvéîïècfto the state legislature his budget for f iscal year 20102011, which would restore $305 million to the CSU budget. Alongside that, the new budget would also allocate an additional $60.6 million to account for enrollment growth. The restoration of f unds lost in the so-called "one-time" budget cuts of2009-2010 is good news for the CSU system and higher education in California as a whole, which has suffered heavily during California's most recent budget crisis. Though this is certainly good news for an ailing university system, California must receive a base amount of federal aid before it extends the additional $60.6 million in aid. The other $305 million restored in the proposed budget would not be a ffected by this requirement. Just days before revealed his new budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger said in his State of the State address, "Because our f uture economic well-being is so dependent upon education, I will protect education f unding in t his budget. We can no longer a fford to cut higher education." In the same speech Governor Schwarzenneger pointed to the longstanding discrepancy between f unding for prisons and higher education as an impetus for r e-prioritizing higher education in government spending p rograms.

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

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

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

To get somewhat philosophical, what you wear communicates the essence of your three w's: who you are, what you're about, and what you believe. Basically, you are what you wear,; which is why a pair of sparkly gold TOMS have recently won me over. Prior to falling in love with sequins, I thought TOMS to be the most unattractive piece of shoe wear in America, but put sequins on anything and 1 WILL buy it. In this case, my beloved sequins found themselves on a pair of TOMS and my wild desire to own them led to some research on what the shoe company is all about. TOMS, short for Shoes four years later to do volunteer work and was astounded by the number of children who roamed barefoot, thus the TOMS project was born. Mycoskie enlisted craftsmen from Argentina to design a durable canvas shoe modeled by the ropesoled alpargatas - handmade canvas slippers worn by local farmers. For many children in third world countries, owning a pair of shoes allows them to receive an education, otherwise denied to them by schools that prohibit attendance to barefoot students, based on health and hygienic concerns. In most of the countries where TOMS are distributed, walking is a primary mode of transportation. Walking with no shoes makes bare feet susceptible to cuts, sores, and parasitical infections contracted from contaminated soil, which often lead to amputation, or death. These debilitating infections are absolutely preventable by wearing shoes! In 2009, Mycoskie was awarded the ACE award by Hillary Clinton which acknowledged his "leadership and innovation in the global industry." Recently, Ralph Lauren was invited to guest design a line of vegan-friendly TOMS. Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and even the great Karl Lagerfeld (even my computer knows who he is, I was just spell-checked) are also TOMS supporters. Whether we'll ever see a pair of TOMS on a Chanel catwalk remains to be seen, but the message is clear: what we wear is who we are. To wear TOMS is to be a part of a movement working to improve the lives and health of children we'll probably never meet but feel * ^ANT y ^ A re you looking t o get more involved?

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

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

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

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

The album features ten songs with a variety of inspirations ranging from jazz and blues to African elements. Iron & Wine'$ previous album "The Shepard's Dog" won critical acclaim and appeared on Pitchfork Media's Top 50 Albums of 2007.

HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK: THE 55 YARD LlfìE fi nORTH COUriTY HOTSPOT BEN DEARINGER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Interested in a place where you get some great deals on food and drinks no matter what night of the week it is? Just drive over to the historic Old California Restaurant Row, to The 55 Yardline, located within two miles from campus on San Marcos Boulevard. This local North County bar and grill has been open since 2003 and is the perfect place to grab a beer, watch a game, play some pool or even play some electronic golf on their classic Golden Tee arcade game. The 55 Yardline offers a large variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, but the happy hour specials draw in the massive crowds. Every day, the bar has something for everyone (Sorry, there is no happy hour on Friday through Sunday, although the bar still offers drink specials). Happy hour is offered from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m., and the specials range from $2.75 for a pint of a delicious domestic brew on Mondays to $3 for any Mexican beer on Tuesdays. Thursday is college night, and it is, a perfect place to go for those who are short on cash. They offer any well drink or domestic draft for only $2.75. But wait, there's more, The 55 Yardline has something to offer trivia buffs as well. Wednesday nights, starting directly after happy hour, the bar has a trivia competition that anyone can enter. Play as a team or individually, it doesn't matter! The bar offers prizes to the top three places. First place receives a $45 gift certificate for their next visit, second place receives $25 and third place receives $10. So why not test your knowledge in categories such as geography, pop culture, science, politics and other categories? Not a trivia whiz? Do not fret, The 55 Yardline has over 24 TVs and televises almost every sporting event. This is the place to be for all your different sport watching cravings, such as the NFL's Super Bowl XLV, basketball, soccer or UFC. Make sure to arrive early because seating is fairly limited. Sports memorabilia covers the dimly lit sports bar fromfloorto ceiling and takes anyone back throughout the history of San Diego sports culture. So if you are stuck in North County on a weekday night, you don't have much cash to spend, and you are looking for a great time, head over to The 55 Yardline. Sorry to those of you who are not 21 yet; staff checks identification at the door as soon as happy hour begins. Though, you may still go early to practice shooting pool or to just watch a game.

Seven days later on Jan. 25, this video and others like it brought thousands of Egyptians into the street where the revolution began.

This use of social media to sound the battle horn marks an unprecedented use of technology by a nation accustomed to state given people something that they had lacked previously, an independent means of communication and propaganda.

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

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

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

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

He then took what is typically a Republican issue and made it his own when he asked for the divided Congress to reexamine the tax code. The ultimate objectives are to lower taxes, close loopholes, and create a fairer system for the American people. On the debt and deficit issue, he called for a reorganization of the executive branch, and major budget freezes for the next five years. The president concluded with our success in ending major troop deployments in Iraq, our continued commitment to Afghanistan, and with confidence that America's future will be brighter than its past. �FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1 Much recent attention to the policy was brought forth by California native and former First Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was discharged f rom the military after coming out during an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show. Lt. Choi argued in an open letter to Congress and President Obama that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't care. They are professional." The policy was originally supported by the idea that the presence of openly homosexual members in the military would pose risks t o the order, morale, and cohesiveness in the military atmosphere. However, over 17 years, many like Lt. Choi have worked to discredit this idea and instead argue that forcing service members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the policy was intended to diminish. However, the repeal of the D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has not been made official. Though the repeal was passed in both the Senate and the House, and President Obama has signed it into law, the bill requires that the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff must each certify that the bill will not detract from military readiness. From there, the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal. Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for the repeal's implementation. This could potentially threaten the fate of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional passage of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal has slowly opened closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still be a matter of time before they are able to take the first step out.

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

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

Pop culture magazines show photos of celebrities who tote around Whole Foods paper shopping bags. According to Wholefood.com, the chain commits to 'selling the highest quality natural and organic products.' There are more than 300 locations in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom combined. Whole Foods originated out of Austin, TX in 1980. The website reveals the store sells all natural meats that farmers or ranchers treated humanely. Whole Foods offers a loan program to local producers of food as well, because they believe that local businesses need a chance to grow and develop. Whole Foods is pricier than all the other health food stores listed. The only Whole Foods close to campus is located in La Jolla. Sprouts Farmers Market: Sprouts developed in Arizona, but expanded its locations to California, Colorado and Texas. Like other competitive 'health' food stores, sprouts.com says the grocery store commits itself to selling the freshest meat, bread and produce. "Helping America eat healthier, live longer and spend less," is Sprouts's mission statement. Their weekly ads run from Wednesday - Tuesday of the following week and consumers may view them online at sprouts.com. Sprouts offers competitive low prices, compared to other healthy stores.

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

Campfield Brings Home the Gold Medal Mile f or CSUSM WEEKEND RESULTS BASEBALL correr: a look c r p t r ì f i s previeui MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR As the spring season opens, a f ew Cal State San Marcos athletes are putting in a bit of extra time behind the desk. This year, the captains of each squad have been asked to write a preview of their season's schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players. These previews have been aptly titled "Captain's Corner," and are available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com. According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the brains behind the project belong to m en's track and field captain Brett Campfield. The track star, a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break with the idea that since captains were designated by their respective teams as representatives, they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect. Campfield shows off his Ivy írsíce spams the ssasan lcckí an uieí League mind in his entry, explaining the importance of teamwork in an individual sport like track and field. "Watching a teammate battle and compete at their very best is contagious, and makes one also willing to put everything on the line f or the team," he said. a.m. and then have an 18-hole qualifier," she said. "This year, coach made a new rule: we have to run a mile f or every 3-putt we have during qualifying."

Cole, a junior, shared some particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend in preparation. "Every Friday, we all attend a yoga class at 6:30 a.m. daily, running drills and playing as many holes as possible until class begins around 10 a.m. Sophomore Loran shared his hopes f or the senior-less m en's golf team. "Comprised of eight men, we rely on team unity and consistency to make it to the top," he said. Sandoval had quite a bit more to cover, due to the massive size ÌÌTi of the women's track team. There are currently 54 athletes on the official roster. The junior f rom Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's organization, and explained to fans unfamiliar to the sport what some events are comprised o f. For example, "Coach Scott is also composing a relay team that will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs a different distance, beginning with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last leg runs 1600 meters," she said. A f ew weeks into the season, the baseball and softball teams are currently unrepresented in the Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they are hopeful to feature previews f rom the two remaining captains, Trembley said. For now, the four "Corners" make up a group of fascinating essays that are worth a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Promoting safe sex is a positive thing," Ethan Boyer, a junior, commented Thursday after learning it was National Condom Day. "It's good to educate [students] on their sexual health," human development major Celeste Tenchavez said Thursday after visiting the event. Each semester, student tuition includes a mandatory $70 Students »faculty and staff gathered in Library Plaza on Thursday afternoon to play games with names like "Guess the Lubes "Name that STD" and "How to put on a Condom." Laughter and tongue-in-cheek humor replaced embarrassing or uncomfortable subject matter as Student Health and Counseling Services sponsored the National Condom Day and Safer Sex Fair on Feb. 10, which ran from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) invited a variety of organizations to participate in the event, and more than a dozen tables displayed informational pamphlets, sexual enhancement aids, magazines, brochures, and condoms. There were colorful condoms of many sizes and shapes; there were flavored condoms and even some that were contorted into artwork. National Condom Day is a part of the American Social Health Association's (ASHA) recognition of February as National Condom Month—emphasizing the importance of condom use in reducing transmission risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the ASHA, there are approximately 19 million new M K H H B H I B H health services fee. This fee entitles all regularly enrolled students, part-time or full-time, to health services provided through SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other vaccines, women's health exams and more. Tuition also includes a $25 health facilities fee that pays for rent and maintenance of the SHCS clinic at PPH, located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100. Students may consult with a doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse, counselor, or the health educator. Visits to the clinic or counselor require no co-payment. Minimal fees are charged for psychiatric services, certain physical exams, laboratory or radiology tests, and prescriptions. According to their website, SHCS "strivefs] to promote services and health education designed to prevent and resolve health problems that may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal in mind, SHCS sponsors events each semester. Coming up on Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is Ask the SEXperts, the first in a series of informational sessions on sexual health issues.

Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS offers their services to students is because it is important for students to have access to free medical care, Nguyen said. "This is my passion," she added. Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate students about health issues and healthy lifestyle choices, but the job itself encompasses a wide range of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects. Nguyen's office is located in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next door to the SHCS clinic.

What you need to do is find out the reasons why your parents are displeased with the idea of you dating this girl. For example, does she have any bad habits? Open up the idea of having her come over for a family dinner, and let your parents get to know her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the first half, the Cougars jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Derrisha Lacey crossed the plate on a double steal, and got another run in the 2nd on a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would put up 6 runs on CSUSM ace Brenna Sandberg, while Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars for the remaining innings. The second game looked to be all CSUSM going into the bottom half of the 7th, as they led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the Cougars a scare in the inning, though, scoring 8 before Sarah Beeman tried to stretch a double into a triple and was thrown out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5 with 5 RBI in the game, while Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI. HOT Tim THE PRIDE FOR Spring training a desert vacation destination MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR Be they diehard baseball fans, bandwagoners or merely fans of hot sun and a good time, gather up the friends, relatives and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training. Every year before Opening Day, Major League Baseball players pack their cleats and bats and head to one of two warm American locales to train for the real season. While traveling to Florida—where fifteen teams, such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, prepare for the year—may be unrealistic, Southern California teams play in our neighboring state. The Padres share the Peoria Sports Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, and the Dodgers go halves at Camelback Ranch in Glendale with the Chicago White Sox. Getting to Phoenix couldn't be easier: Head south from CSUSM to Interstate-8 and go East. Past Yuma, both the 85 North and 95 North will run into Interstate-10. The I-10 East runs through the center of all playing fields. The hometown Padres head into this spring training with much heavier expectations than last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before the season, the Friars rode their excellent pitching and wizardry on defense to finish within two games of the playoffs last year, falling on the last day to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Several new faces will be on hand in Peoria this year. Wily veteran Orlando Hudson joins the infield, while youngsters Ja- son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on the starting lineup. Old-timers Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick and Brad Hawpe have their sights set on returning to All-Star form. Spring training runs from the last weekend in February to end of March. Several games are played every day. Occasionally, teams divide into "split squads," with half the roster playing at home, and half the roster playing an away game against a different team.- If planned right, fans can see two games played by their favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues. Teams have historically kept ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap entry can still be had. Luxury tickets at brand-new Camelback Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer lawn seating for between $5-$ 10. Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps the price low, but lodging can always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with deep pockets can take advantage of deals like the "Steal Third" deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get one free. Of course, the first two nights run at around $250 each. Nothing during the regular season compares with spring training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more available for autographs, and often stop to casually converse with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the beer flows as it rightly should. Combined with the sunshine and the crack of the bat, nothing beats spring training for Spring Break. CSUSM TRACK AND FIELD COMPETES AT NAU, AZUSA PACIFIC KYLE TREMBLEY CONTRIBUTOR Cal State San Marcos track & field traveled to Northern Arizona University on Saturday, taking part in the 2011 Lumberjack Invitational.

IHHHHIHHHHHB �anssMHLL snaps Lostns stsehk, d e f e h t azusa s Kretchmer throws 6 no-hit innings in return to the mound KYLE TREMBLEY C ONTRIBUTOR Matt Kretchmer threw six innings of no-hit ball as Cal State San Marcos baseball snapped a short losing streak on Friday, defeating Azusa Pacific 3-1 at home. CSUSM improves to 7-5 on the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained out, but the cloudy skies did nothing to dampen the spirit of the CSUSM Cougars, who were anxious to get back in the win column after four straight losses. Kretchmer was the story, as the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high pitch count and a little wildness.

The 2011 show featured a Vagina Festival, beforehand, where campus organization came together to hand out information pamphlets. The Vagina Festival also met to support the women at CSUSM and the surrounding community. The show sold out and sadly, the staff turned some eager supporters away, since there was not enough space to accommodate the patrons. "For men and women, this is one of the most powerful experiences you can have around your sexuality, in a public place," Dr. Jennifer Gunsaul- lus, a professor of Women's Studies on our campus said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pence also published an essay regarding his involvement with the controversial issue writing that allegations of apparent "fraud and abuse" by the abortion provider disqualifies the organization for federal funding.

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

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

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

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

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

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

These features make the Pokémon games worthwhile entertainment for kids and college students alike. "All in all, Pokémon has been something dear to everyone's hearts," Renteria continued. "Whether you play competitively or just for the fun of it, it's nice to see the inner-geek in everyone." 3 8 2 1 4 9 98 1 15 6 86 5 2 43 8 2 5 4 6 4 7 SEE ANSWERS ONLINE AT CSUSMPRIDE.COM Photo courtesy of buffcorp jcom U NIVERSITY OF S T .

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

The owners named El Dorado for the enchanted and mythical "Lost City of Gold" and this bar plays a similar role in San Diego as it's a little hard to find, but once you do, it's like striking gold in the rush of downtown. El Dorado hosts an array of live musical performances, ranging from bluegrass to electro, and has a dance floor packed with goofy and groovy 20-somethings who seem to care more about having a good time and less about getting in your pants. The crowd seems like an Urban Outfitters catalogue came to life, threw a dance party and everybody's invited. This Thursday, March 31 the bar hosts a "Mustache Party" featuring live bands, and Friday, April 1 is '90s night. The bar offers Happy Hour specials (including $5 cocktails and discounted draft beers) every night until 9 p.m. El Dorado serves its cus- tomers a selection o f^^^geasonal cockdrinks, |>eer on tap in the ottle nd -x* LOUNGE clubs.

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

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

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

Consultants help students work on their pieces—whether it is a short essay or Master's thesis—by "reviewing the prompt, asking guiding questions, and providing non-judgmental feedback." By working one-on-one or in a small group, students can gain control of their written words and succeed in their classes. As the semester accelerates into its final weeks, the Writing Center'invites students to attend workshops that will help ease writing anxieties. These U-hour workshops take place in the Writing Center from noon - 1p.m. on Tuesdays. Today's workshop will focus on "How to Write for Specific Audiences."

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

Shortstop, Shanti Poston, made the first official big play of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out the top of the 1st inning. At the top of the 2nd, Columbia scored 3rd consecutive runs on one hit due to a few small errors and a wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars down by three early in the game, By the beginning of the 3rd, San Marcos began to find their groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder of the game. Midway through the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave Williams said, "to shake the rust off" after nearly 12 days without playing a single game. Sandberg ended the first game by striking out 9 Columbia College batters. As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players, and even coaches feared a loss, At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball team knew here would be its last chance to shake things up and get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win. Derrisha Lacey stepped up to the plate, hit the ball just out of the reach of the third baseman, and cutting the lead to 3-1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The #4-ranked Cougars improved to 33-6 on the season? Biola dropped to 23-19. Pitcher B rennatj Sandberg was lights-out in both games, throwing all 13 innings on the day and holding Biotk scoreless. The wins improve Sand- berg's NAIA-best record to 295. She allowed just three hits ml both games, striking out nine in the first and six in the second. Sandberg had plenty of support, both at the plate and in the field. Biola's best scoring chance in game one came in the third inning, as the Eagi$s moved two runners j nto scoring position with one out. But a mediuin-shallow i ly ball was caught by left fielder Alicia Ingram, and she gunned out the runner at home with a perfect throw to keep the shutout intact. At the plate in game one, CSUSM jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first and never looked back. Derrisha Lacey led off by driving a triple to the left-centerfieldgap, and after Alicia Ingram walked and stole second, Alex Miller drew a walk to load the bases. Shanti Poston plated Lacey with a sac fly, and Ingram would come home to score on a wild pitch.

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

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

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

Truly, this event was altruism at its finest—a sincere effort by students to help support their classmates in a big way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over the course of the competition, we recycled an average of 20 pounds of paper, 15 pounds of cardboard, and surprisingly only 13 pounds of bottles and cans per person. Questions arose regarding whether or not CSUSM may have had a slight advantage over the other colleges that participated. Do we use more paper, so we recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines, a cafeteria and a market, do we sell and then recycle more plastic bottles and cans? An unproven rumor has been floating around campus implying the main reason why we win each year is that our campus janitorial staff is specifically trained to separate the recyclable materials out from the trash. According the rules of RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student awareness and involvement in campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with participating schools," and says nothing about the legality of janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for us, then what are we the students really learning about recycling? With the many recycle bins that stand next to each trash can on campus, students are more than capable of recycling by choosing where to toss their waste Information about what can be recycled is a v a i l a b l e at csusm. edu/sustainability/recyclables. # 1 Cai State San Marcos, 79.96% M # 3 Stetson University, 70.31 % # 4 Loyola Marymount University, 67.32% # 5 New Mexico State University, 66.87% # 6 CUNY College of Staten Island, 66.39% # 7 Barton College, 64.62% # 8 Norwalk Community College, 63.92% # 9 University of Scranton, 62.36% # 10 Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 61.78% Cardboard Bottles/Cans Recycled Pounds Per Student at Cal State San Marcos Artwork By M organ Hal! �FEATURES THE PRIDE MAY 10TH, 2011 CAMPUS CALLS FOR STUDENT INTERNS GET CREDIT, GET PAID, GET EXPERIENCE S ANDRA C HALMERS E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Resumes, cover letters, interviews and business suits all ring the familiar bell of the rigorous race for employment and as the weather heats up, so does the competition for internships. Though finding internships relevant to your job field may seem impossible, many opportunities actually exist closer than students may think. Our campus features a variety of internship opportunities available to students in many disciplines all geared to provide valued work experience. Specialized internships available on campus include disciplines such as health education, multimedia, Sociology, and Kinesiology, just to name a few.

THE PRIDE PAR FOR THE COURSES EXPERIENCE SAN DIEGO GOLFING O WEN HEMSATH PRIDE STAFF W RITER The golf course may not be the first place a college student turns to for hot summer fun, but an afternoon at the green could turn out to be the best decision you make this summer. Filled with fresh grass, clear water ponds, ducks and funny shoes, golf courses in San Marcos offer a great and relaxing way to enjoy the summer sun without exhausting your wallet or your patience. Golf courses typically offer beverage services with products ranging from a classic Coke to bitter brews, and carry all the excitement and fun associated with an afternoon around friends minus the crowds and the costs. Golfing also provides its participants with a variety of sporting options, and courses in the North County area typically offer accommodations for beginners. For example, while 18 holes may be a bit much for newbie (as this may take three to four hours of play time), playing.the front or "back 9" holes could be an awesome way to spend some time with goodfriendsin good conversation and practice that swing you've been meaning to improve. No clubs — no worries. Golf courses offer rental clubs for daily use or individual clubs for purchase in case you'd like to build up your set, and most courses offer drink services along the way. Tee times can range from $20 to $40 depending on your course and cart. If a round is not your thing, try the putting greens. Like a mini-golf course without the 2-year olds (or the windmillshey, you can't have it all) the putting greens allow a slower pace for practicing putts while still providing the same sunlight and bar service you have come to expect from a golf course. While the greens only require a putter and don't cost a thing, it's wise to respect the tranquil environment known of sport while in this arena. If chatter and laughs are more your game the perhaps the driving range could be your thing. The driving range is a place where you can release the stress of finals without any concern for property. Golf courses provide hundreds of square yards of grass (and sometimes water) where you can whack those golf balls as hard as you want. There are even times when a man drives through the field in a protected vehicle to collect the various golf balls — pretend he's a teacher or an unruly student or that seriously tough exam and do your worst. The driving range is a great place to release some energy, practice your swing, and chat with some friends. Plus, it's not to far from the drink service and a small bucket of balls can cost anywhere from $4 to $6. So don't knock it before you try it. Golfing could be the unlikely hero of your next outing with friends. Try something new, and get out to the greens this summer. If you don't have the balls, you can buy some there. Four players earn A ll honors Sandberg pitcher, Williams Coach of Year Softball pitcher Brenna Sandberg has been named the Association of Independent Institutions Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season, and this year three Cougars join her on the All-Conference Team. Head Coach Dave Williams receivedhis second straight Conference Coach of the Year award. Junior first baseman Alyssa Dronenburg, freshman second baseman Alex Miller, and freshman outfielder Derrisha Lacey all earned spots on the A i l . All-Conference Team, which was announced at Wednesday night's conference awards banquet in Carlsbad. Sandberg, a 2010 NAIA Second Team All-American, led the NAIA with 35 wins and 255.2 innings pitched. She ranks nationally in the top 10 in strikeouts (322) and earned run average (1.10). Dronenburg, who led the team with 9 home runs, earned her third straight All-Conference appearance. Expect the exceptional Miller and'Lacey to do the same. A J J .

Although I am far from a successful bowler, and do not bowl often, I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of the activity. Bowling is a versatile sport, because it appeals to both competitive participants and easygoing newcomers. "Granny" style throws, spin throws and approaches to the lane all bring amusement to the game. At the end of the day, I learned how to properly throw a bowling ball down a lane [without bumpers], lost a bet of who would win, and dis- covered a new victory dance. There are several other alleys in North County in which try some of these things, especially the dancing part. AMF Eagle Bowl on San Marcos Blvd. near the movie theater lies the closest to campus. Not far away, at Westfield's North County Fair in Escondido, the newly opened North County Tavern & Bowl serves up great pub grub and pints of cold beer for those over 21.

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

Originally, the tour featured many bands pertaining to the punk rock genre. Over the last few years though, the music scene of the tour has changed along with the constantly changing generation of attendees and the tour has night and each band plays about a 30 minute set that usually intertwines or shares the times of other bands on separate stages, giving visitors the opportunity to set up their own schedule of who they want to see. Some of the artists featured on this year's main stage are Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, The Devil Wears Prada, Jack's Mannequin and many more. Booths are set up on the tour's grounds where attendees tors could even meet up with the bands after their sets). The event has also taken opportunities to conserve and recycle with the Warped Tour Initiative, by saving on fuel for buses, encouraging guests to recycle for prizes and even using a solar-powered stage.

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

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

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

MSSIffihr California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, September 27, 2011 | Volume XXXVIII | Issüe 2 2011 CSUSM Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award recipient Lauren Holland overcomes tragedies to receive the CSU's highest honor CSUSM grad student Lauren Holland decided to channel her grief into action. Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will graduate with a master's degree in Sociological Practice with an emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will focus on the statistics behind child pedestrian fatalities and how fam- ilies grieve, cope and make sense of a senseless tragedy. Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88 GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest forms of recognition for student achievement in the CSU system. The Hearst award is given to just one student at each CSU campus annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships. "It's an honor to be selected with a handful of my peers to be a Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people are behind me and supporting me in achieving my goals." Holland was in the final months of her senior year at San Diego State when she got the news about her nephew's son, Zaeh Cruz, who was struck by a truck and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009. Holland finished her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with cum laude honors, and threw herself into advocating for pedestrian safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that she can use her master's degree to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national levels. "I want to be an even stronger voice advocating for pedestrian safety education, enforcement and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than 1,000 pedestrians lose their lives in preventable accidents. "I know I can make a difference and the Hearst Award further reminds me to continue to push forward and give my very best." Holland's own life has been touched by tragedy as well. She worked a series of low-wage jobs while raising two children on her own. Then several years ago, she was working on a construction project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with a disabling back injury. Although it had been more than two decades since she'd been in a classroom, Holland knew she'd need to get an education to land a well-paying desk job, so she went back to school at San Diego State. She graduated in 2010. She's also volunteered her time with the March of Dimes, Head Start, Zonta International, the U.N. Association of San Diego and a local sobering facility, among other organizations. Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award this fall. She received a $3,000 scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook computer and camera). Campus Calendar TUESDAY, SEPT. 27: -Polynesian •S.D.

Adams, age 28, has been a professional in Flatland BMX since he was 16 years old and has competed in tournaments all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the ¡ 2005 X Games and also scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One Ride Award in 2005 and 2008. "I wanted to be a professional," Adams said. When asked about what got him into Flatland, Adams continued, "When I looked it up, it looked more artsy. It was different." Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth, flat surfaces that do not include any ramps, jumps or grind rails. By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to break dancing, according to Mick Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX. Adams grew up in Louisiana and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he decided he wanted to focus on his BMX career instead. Red Bull sponsored Adams since 2003. He has been touring the United States these past few weeks doing demos at 50 differ- ent colleges. "It is very chill, spreading awareness about what I do. It is a cool opportunity from Red BuU," Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood. They are a little more stoked," when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. . The big Red Bull truck, called the Red Bull MXT, came out and opened up its speakers, blasting party music throughout Library Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool moves, including his own trick, Katrina, that he named after the 2005 hurricane Katrina. Students were handed "spirit" towels to twirl around which added to the festivity of the hour. With the crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by balancing, spinning and hopping with his bike. On a break, Red Bull handed out two free T- * shirts to the first two people that showed up to the Red Bull MXT. "One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after winning his T-shirt. "I won a t-shirt! And it's cool spirit," Baquero said when asked what drove him to dance. Throughout the demo, Red Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave out free Red Bulls to the students. "This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to," Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls. Students also responded to the event with enthusiasm. "It was a great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said. If you would like to know more about Terry Adams, go to his website: www.terryadams.com.

"It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good today," senior Tyler Noonan said. "You're lucky just to catch a few good waves," he added. Noonan, who surfed for his high school team and was trying out for the first time, said that he looks "forward to being able to get back into surf competitions and meet new surfers this season." This year, the Cal State San Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave each surfer three 15-minute heats to catch as many waves as he or she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score. "We're looking for length, turns and connecting rides and, of course, the more you do the more points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said. Dave Kincannon, who was on the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts but had to leave CSUSM to work, again next year " said, "The way tryouts are set up Being a part of the CSUSM surf this year is a lot fairer than the team allows students to do somefirst time I tried out.

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

This semester we're givng away great stuff, and only our facebook friends can win Happy Hour of the Week: Half-time at Players Sports Bar Retraction: "Tips for textbook buying" In the Sept. 13 issue of The Pride, the article, "Tips for textbook buying" incorrectly listed Interlibrary Loan (ILL) as a resource for obtaining textbooks. ILL is a service available to students for obtaining different forms of research for course related projects. "Interlibrary Loan staff search and order requested materials from a worldwide database. Material requested through ILL typically arrive at the Library within one to two weeks. You are notified via your CSUSM email account when the material arrives, books are held for pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said. Also, materials from ILL are never delivered to your home but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of the Kellogg Library. For more information on ILL, contact Teri Roudenbush at troudenb@csusm.edu Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer Photos by Morgan Hall Our next issue will feature ÉMM Imph nCnij^E^it^fllv! All of us CSUSM students could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs over the urinals. I spent this week's Happy Hour at Players off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. across from campus, which is open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and supports a young scene. If you have any love for Padres or Red Sox, this place will sympathize with you. The Happy Hour deals included $1 off wine, beer and wells; you will also get $2 off appetizers including their delicious, picante chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty potato wedges while watching a late season baseball game on one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included local breweries like Lost Abbey, Ballast Point and Green Flash as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for $2.75 each while gawking at the 100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer at the next table. The beer happy hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V the famous craft beer of that area. If you are free on a Wednesday, head over to "Kick the Keg" to enjoy that week's domestic beer keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m. until the keg is empty. Other enjoyment for family, 18+, and 21+ included the two pool tables and outdoor seating withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to meet new friends from CSUSM, take someone on a date or relax after a long day of classes.

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

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

Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, sets out to compile a successful baseball roster with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Mill) and an incredibly modest budget. With, the entire MLB against them, Beane and Brand set out to prove that it's possible to create a winning team with comparatively little money. Moneyball" is a baseball movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of the game. In fact, it isn't until the last half hour of the movie until we're placed on the field with the players during a game, but with good reason. With Beane's distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense that viewers wouldn't witness anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts himself near the field. Instead of your conventional baseball film, what "Moneyball" offers is a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics of what goes into developing a baseball roster and a successful franchise. Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own major league victory and wants to give it to those deserving of it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up working in baseball despite his educational background. Also, look out for Kerris Dorsey as Beane's concerned daughter, who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The Show" as a way to reach out to her dad. -Moneyball" offers a true story about the heart and determination that must go into success and the compromises needed to reach life's little victories. See the movie, write a review. If y ou put your review on The Pride's Facebook page y ou might s ee it in our next i ssue. How killin' is "Killer Elite?" With movie trailers and posters for "Killer Elite" marketing it as "based on a true story," one may think that this be Jason Statham's return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing the film, aüdience members may ask how much of this is true, with some scenes leaving you consumed in disbelief and awe. Danny (Statham) is a retired special-operations agent who returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter (Robert De Niro), who is being held captive. Hunter's captor is a man who has lost three sons in war and wants justice from his sons' killers to be carried out by Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their deaths look like accidents. While carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike (Clive Owen), who intends to put a stop to these killings due to his attachment and association with the targets. The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual self, is determined to prove that what we do does not define us. De Niro is fun as the wisecrack ing mentor, leaving us wishing for more screen-time. Owen plays a strong roadblock in Statham's path. The action sequences, while immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many (in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however, are necessary to the plot and en tertaining in execution. One such scene involves the developing of a mallet that matches the tiles of one target's shower, in order to make his death seem like an accident. The dialogue is cheesy with the formulaic, bad (but fun), popcorn-flick one-liners be ing spouted regularly. A notable catch phrase worthy line in volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!" If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences, see "Killer Elite." As1 Hakuna m atata Reliving a c hildhood almost f orgotten Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Do you remember picking up your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs while you held your poor pup in the air? This signature stance derives from none other than Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The Lion King," that made its (iebut into the world and our hearts in 1994. The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously successful in the box offices and was quite popular, winning three Golden Globes for Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, Best Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in Comedy/Musical as well as two SCfoOQi* Oscars for Best Musical Score and Original Song. With the "The Lion King" in theaters this September, 90s kids as well as children everywhere were given the opportunity to relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically genius adventure in a way no one has ever experienced before: in 3D. A friend and I went to the opening weekend and we weren't able to contain our joy as soon as "Circle of Life" started playing. We, along with many 5-year-olds and their stressed out parents, watched in awe as Mufasa and Simba came to life right before our very eyes. Though I have seen this movie countless times, the experience of watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced out right in front of me, and the elimination of the unpopular song addition titled "Morning Report" to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite wisdom, Scar's evil antics and the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before Rafiki got Simba back to Pride Rock in time before the hyenas took over—a time before school, work and adult responsibilities consumed my life. Though the viewing is limited, the experience of reliving my childhood was irreplaceable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Johnson Pride Staff Writer It should come as no surprise that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo. In his novel, Mee documents his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up until the opening day. In the midst of this overwhelming yet exciting process, tragedy strikes when Mee's wife dies. Instead of putting life and the zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset of opening day as a productive distraction from his loss. Mee's accounts of this time in his life are heartwarming and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced with humorous or even tense interactions between the humans and the animals. However, Mee's storytelling is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His story often feels as if you are listening to someone recount a series of incidents while often withholding any conversations that may have taken place during the events. With the story being told from Mee's point of view, his illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling. His ability to be touched by subtle ges- C ougar W ord S earch Fall Fun A corn A pple C ider C orn Full Moon G ourd Halloween Harvest Hay N ovember O ctober O range L eaves Pumpkins Pumpkin Pie S carecrow Thanksgiving AMWÛIR j $ M BPH Haunted Halloween adventures San Diego's bone-chilling zones Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer The Amazing Tree Storj of a Yowig Family, a S r o t o a D own Tm, a nd t hefOO Wild A nimals that Change Their Lives fwmm Benjamin Mée tures of sympathy following the loss of his wife, and his absolute need to hide his sadness from his children gives us an image of a very human, common man overcoming a loss.

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

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

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

Johnson Pride Staff Writer The modern practice of Halloween has stronger ties to historical celebrations of the holiday than you might think. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the name of the holiday comes from the holiday's original name, "All Hallows Eve." As time progressed, the name shortened to become "Halloween." All Hollows Eve was in practice the night before All Saints Day, "a day commemorating all the saints of the church, both known and unknown." The traditions we practice in our modern celebrations of Halloween originated hundreds of years ago. Over time, our practices, which traditionally take place on Oct. 31, have lost a great deal of their original meaning. By going through many of the common aspects and traditions of Halloween, it is evident where modern traditions have come from. According to historian Nicholas Rogers' book "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night," Halloween is likely to have de veloped from the Celtic tra dition of Samhain» Samhain is a festival which commemorates the end of harvest. This festival, which begins on Oct. 31 and is typically held for several days, is a preparation for the dark seasons to come following the harvest. Trick-or-Treating is the activity commonly associated with children go CSUSM," María Bacca, a CSUSM student and creator of the events page, wrote. "If [CSUSM is] a campus that cares about community, then the voice of that community should be heard," Literature and Writing Graduate student Jeff Schoneman said in an interview. "There should be a safe structure or space created where people can address those ideas [in the Koala] with the people who are actually writing them to see how truly weak the logic behind those assertions is." Sociology master's student Flora Seawood said in an interview that she is shocked to hear of the Koala's content. Seawood described the publication as counterproductive and contrary to the university's purpose.

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

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

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

Ethan tracks down serial killers to the condemned part of town where demented madmen run rampant. Players use a wealth of crime scene gadgets to uncover clues leading to the whereabouts and identity of a mastermind serial killer. % Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010, Frictional Games) "Amnesia" places players in the shoes of Daniel, an Englishman who mysteriously wakes up in a dark castle with, you guessed it, amnesia. Throughout the game, Daniel encounters horrific beings roaming the halls of the castle. With no weapons to defend himself, Daniel's is forced to run and hide from the horrors that lurk in the dark. FJÏAJL. (2005, Vivendi Universal) In this horror-shooter, players are assigned to a top secret squad of soldiers known as F.E.A.R. (First Encoùnter Assault Recon)* The F.E.A.R, group is covertly dispatched to investigate and eliminate paranormal problems. The squad is sent to the Armacham Technology Corporation to search for a delusional psychic who controls a rogue army of soldiers. As they make their way through the facility, the F.E.A.R. soldiers are plagued by the ghost of a little girl who causes them to see horrific hallucinations. BioShock 2 (2010,2K Games) Players return to the underwater city of Rapture, a rusted relic of a once thriving metropolis, in "BioShock 2." In this installment, players control Subject Delta, an armored behemoth searching for the girl he was supposed to protect. Rapture's residents have been transformed into gruesome lunatics and other armored monsters.

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

Women are R.A.D. CSUSM promotes awareness with women's self - defense Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer "I will survive and keep going, no matter what!" is one* motto for the Rape Aggression Defense System (R.A.D.) courses hosted on campus. This women's self-defense program is a four-day course that occurs Nov. 8, 10, 15 and 17 from 4 - 7 p.m. at the University Police Department. It teaches basic physical defense for women to prevent abduction, harassment, assault or rape. "Statistics show that when women resist [assault] they have a higher likelihood of escaping," CSUSM Police Officer Yosaren Panza said. Although CSUSM is comparatively a safe campus, attacks happen. There were two reported rape incidents on campus in 2008 and possession.

The U.S. State Department sent a worldwide notice to CSUSM's Risk Management and Safety Office. Risk Management and Safety, RMS, handles hazardous materials, waste management, environmental concerns, safety concerns and Workers compensation. The department distributed the official warning via emergencyemail .org. The United States travel warning alerted students, faculty and staff to the possibility of "antiU.S. actions." The concern of terrorist activity stemmed from an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. According to an official release from the Department of Justice, two men with ties to Iran were charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official and at least three more conspiracy charges. The release continued to say one conspirator, Manssor Arbabsiar, was captured Sept. 29 at JFK International Airport in New York after a failed attempt to fly out of the country, The other man. remains at large. The Foreign Travel Update from CSUSM advised students to review the campus's Foreign Travel Insurance program at csusm.edu/ rms/. This program protects students, faculty and staff while they travel out of the United States on university sponsored trips by providing medical benefits, political evacuation benefits, trip cancellation or interruption benefits, accidental death benefits and travel assistant benefits., According to the RMS website, travel assistant benefits include pre-departure information, lost baggage and passport aid, flight modifications, legal assistance and emergency cash. anybody - even the community," Valerie Knox Community Partnerships Coordinator said.

In addition to the training events and main event, there will also be a stuffing party. "On Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Clarke Field House, there's a stuffing party," Knox said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over 1,200 fans at MiraCosta College cheered on the team and saw guard Tim Steed throw down a thunderous dunk in the first minutes of thè game. Saturday, Nov. 12 At 2 p.m., the day began with CSUSM Volleyball competing at the A.I.I. Conference Tournament in Phoenix, AZ. Having already won their first two matches, the second-seeded Cougars easily blew by Mayville State in straight sets, setting up a championship game rematch with top seed La Sierra. CSUSM Volleyball played again that night at 10 p.m. At 4 p.m., across the country, Cal State San Marcos women's soccer kicked off the A i i . Cham- pionship game. Despite playing in hostile territory, the 13th ranked and top seeded Cougars persevered to take a 1-0 decision with a Kaleigh Dodson goal in the first half.

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

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

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

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

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

Another form of the Christmas celebration exists in the Catholic tradition. While many Christmas celebrations pay tribute to the birth of Jesus, Catholic celebrations express a form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord. According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The Catholic Church has designated the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare the way of the Lord.'" The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent wreath, the blessing of the tree and the Christ and Mary candles act as a symbol of the faith of the Catholic Church. Hanukkah is a Jew- ish holiday that is celebrated for Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday eight days and nights. established in 1966 by "[Hanukkah] starts on the 25 Dr. Maulana Karenga of of the Jewish month of Kislev, CSU Long Beach, takes which coincides with late place from Dec. 26 - Jan.

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

The Ocean House is a beautiful Victorian era building that has been around for 120 years. It lies in the heart of downtown Carlsbad and is very close to the beach. The Ocean House prides itself on their Sunday champagne brunch served, from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. which is hosted in a spacious dance room with large wooden floors. For students on a budget, head over to their bar room Monday - Friday, between 3 - 6 p.m. to take advantage of the happy hour while enjoying the antique setting. The happy hour includes $2 off mixed cocktails, draft beers and house wines. The beer list supports local breweries with beers such as Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter, Stone Pale Ale, Coronado Orange Ave Wit, Green Flash 30th Street Pale Ale and Port Brewing Wipeout IPA. To fill up on snacks Ocean House provides cheap eats including $4 nachos, cheese fries, quesadillas or potato skins and $5 artichoke spinach dip and chicken strips. The Ocean House also runs discounted domestic beer for $3 and $5 burger and fries during all football games. What is most enticing about the Ocean House is the historic setting that mixes modern attractions like banquets, weddings and salsa dancing on Sundays with rustic and antique architecture and design. The Palm Room, in the front, has a history that dates back to 1922 and is a nice lounge with large windows overlooking the main walkway of downtown Carlsbad. The Ocean House is open Monday - Wednesday 11 a.m. - midnight, Thursday - Saturday 1 1 - 2 a.m. and Sunday 9:30 - 2 a m. It is located on 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad.

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

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

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

TP^- �California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, December 2011 | Visit The Pride online at csusmpride.com A&E Book Review: " A Christmas M emory" by Truman C apote Tales from the Nerd Sid Geek Gifts: A short g uide to s ome of thef Capote's classic story a Christmas treat Kyle M. Johnson Pride Staff Writer In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions of reciting "The Night Before Christmas" or reading Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" often take place. Rarely, and sadly, does one hear about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short story "A Christmas Memory." Set in Alabama in the 1930s and inspired by his childhood, Capote tells the story of a Christmas he shared with his friend, Miss Sook, an aging woman in her sixties. Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is sweet, but the real charm is in his relationship with Miss Sook, whom he refers to as "my friend." Despite her age, Miss Sook is very much a child herself. Together, they touch the lives of those around them, including a Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious disposition). The reader cannot help but feel touched, as well. In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory," you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" which also feature Capote's Buddy and Miss Sook. "One Christmas" tells of a trip Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner. While his stories possess a I nerdiest gifts for the holidays child-like charm, Capote counters this with a very dark and personal tone which lies below the surface of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her love and wisdom upon him, a gift that will surely resonate with the reader.

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

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

SIMON For The Pride On Monday, April 11, the Progressive Activists Network held their fourth annual 411 Environmental Awareness Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Forum Plaza. The event featured ranged ethnic dance, performance art, and various booths offering information to draw attention to environmental issues. There's hardly a persuasion of environmental politics that could have ignored the crane-like people-lift or it's papier-mâché globe, dangling like a crudely executed cross between a pinata and a wrecking ball. Some of the globe's ocean still quoted stocks, and the landmasses basically resembled countries. Fortunately, further information was right on hand, if still left out in the sun. Advertised by green balloons (forest, not money-green) printed with: "411, there's only one earth," the event brought all sorts of people to watch students walk by, and walk on. Though vendors T-mobile, Cookie Lee jewelry, and Bubble Tea were some of the only booths with the funds or foresight to bring shade, the frequently friendly and preSee 4-1-1, page 11 APPLICATION Hope springs eternal...

Activities planned at the state capital will consist of educational sit-ins, attending budget meetings where legislators will be the higher education budget and lobbying members of the higher education committee. Students will be asking legislators to reject Governor Schwarzenegger's proposed The CSUSM University Police Department offers classes in Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) for women. RAD instructs women to understand the risk of sexual assault and how to defend themselves against aggressors in the event they are attacked. "The goal of RAD is to teach risk awareness, risk reduction, risk avoidance and risk recognition," said Office Carla Kuamoo, coordinator of the bi-annual class offered at CSUSM in April and October. The 12 hour course is broken up into multiple of days throughout the week and is open to women at Cal State San Marcos and women in the community. "The course offers women great understanding and gives them empowerment," said Kuamoo when asked why women should take this course. "Ninety percent of avoiding an attack is to be aware of your surroundings," she said. Kuamoo said that women who take this course will be able to take care of themselves and will See PROTEST, page 2 See RAD, page 2 Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride Jeremy D.

KuamOo said, "Women are used to being nice and sometimes nice isn't good." The April 4-8 session there were five women in the class. On Friday April 8, the women had a chance to practice all the skills they had learned. All of the women participating wanted to remain anonymous but encouraged other women to participate in the RAD program. "I feel so confidant now. I feel safe walking through a parking lot and if anything does happen I can take action," said one student participant, "women in general have been victimized - once you do the program you will feel so much more powerful." Another student participant said, "I recommend this for all women. I feel more powerful and in control. Anyone who goes through this program will learn so many techniques and it doesn't matter how tall or big you are - you will be able to defend yourself. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches and now I can take down someone who is 6 feet (tall) " "I'm not a victim that someone can take advantage of," said another student participant. All of the women interviewed said that the program not only taught defense skills but created new friendships. Photo courtesy of University Police R AD participant practices a defense move on a simulated agressor in a Redman suit. RAD is an internationally recognized organization for women's self defense. According to their website, "RAD is the only self defense program ever endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA)." Locally, RAD classes are held twice a year at the Clarke Field House and costs $20 a person. The benefit of membership means women can return anytime anywhere RAD classes are held to either refresh their skills or to add their experience to the class. "RAD is the only existing program with a f ree lifetime return and practice policy, honored throughout both the.US and Canada" according to the RAD website. CSUSM Police Sergeant Dan Koehler has been teaching defensive training for police officers for 15 years, but this RAD session is his first time participating in a female only class. "It's f un to watch people come in that don't know each other or they don't think they can do this and then by the end of the class they're socking pretty hard," said Koehler. Kuamoo said that the Cal State San Marcos chapter of RAD is currently looking for sponsors to help lower the cost of the student fee so that more college women can attend. Koehler said that this kind of training is essential for women. He said that the program really needs additional funding because the campus police station paid for the equipment used by the RAD program, but cannot afford to replace or purchase anymore. Koehler said the cost of one bodysuit is $1,200. More information regarding the on campus classes is available at the university police website: http://www.csusm.edu/police/ RADLhtml.

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

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

FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer ATTENTION STUDENTS: This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel all over the world for free. Meet the people, experience the culture, hear the music, and taste the food, without ever leaving San Marcos. How you may ask? The third annual International Fair will be held Thursday, April 14 from ll-3pm in front of University Hall. The event is sure to be plezierig, erfreulich, divertente, agradable.. .you know, fun! Bring your appetite, because this will be an opportunity to taste foods like Chinese chicken, Greek salad, Latin food, vegan food, egg rolls, udon noodles, fry bread, and sausages...mangia mangia! After you are full to the brim with delicacies representing cultures all over the world, sit back and enjoy the entertainment. There will be Salsa dancers, Capoeira Martial Arts, Argentine Tango, African Spiritual Songs, international poetry readings, and fabulous Fandango. The event will also feature an International Fashion show. "A couple of students had suggested this, and we are really excited to let the students share their cultural outfits," said Danielle McMartin of Global Affairs. "There will be 14 student organizations that will be participating in food booths, and information booths, and they will be focusing on how their organization thinks globally," said McMartin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Both of these students have methods that allow them to get to classes on time, but leaving any later can make each student late for class.

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

Brees connected with Lance Moore completing the 2-point play making the score 24-17 Saints. The Saints ended the game strong with a Tracy Porter 74-yard interception return for a touchdown, making the f inal score 31-17 Saints.

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

His comments made me think. I asked myselfifthe Olympic Games mattered. That made me wonder if the games a celebration ofculture and unity or self-indulgence for the athletically superior. But it did not take long for me to decide the Olympics are important Sure, it is exclusive to men and women with particular talents. That is only a limited view of the sports. It is the kind of distraction people need from international and economic tensions. That is the first need to have the Olympics. Aside from all the competitions, it is a literal representation of the different countries. Each delegate proves that people can come together. 1 see the Olympics as a sign of hope that people can get over their differences on a global stage. Only the best athletes can participate, which might be seen as marginalizing ordinary people, but I do not see this as a bad thing. Watching someone compete and seeing the potential of a person is encouraging. It shows that anyone can test the limits of what is considered impossible. The selected athletes can also serve as a focal point in bringing their own country together. Just as the entire competition brings the world together, every person can identify with delegatesfromtheir country. In America, decisions over healthcare and the economy drive us apart, but I hope that for a few weeks we can rally together to cheer on our teams and individuals in Vancouver. It is a competition, and it would be a nice morale boost to see our Olym- pians succeed. There can only be one winner, but the competition is exhilarating. Hockey and figure skating are prone torivalriesthat add to the fun. In the end, it is just a game and should be used as a springboard for pride, not hate. Lastly, it is an expression ofculture. Since the game is in Canada, most of the focus will be on that country, but watching the camaraderie and passion amongst teammates is also enlightening. Spectators and participants can see the way other people act, thus appreciate differences and find ways that humans have more in common than realized The world needs the Olympics. The games are not about dividing the world; it is about bringing them together and celebrating the triumphs of strength, skill, and will.

According to research done by Duke University, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. Here at Cal State San Marcos, our comVI f munity has experienced a number of suicides and suicide attempts this year: yes, it happens here. Why, so many of us wonder, are our students turning to such drastic "solutions" to temporary problems'? Why can't they see that their lives are valuable, important, and so much larger than the anguish they are feeling at that moment? Why can't they see how or ^ piirfiii^^ • 'Itos^riai- e d M M , many people truly care about them? At the Counseling Center, we often speak with these students' friends, families, professors, roommates, or RAs. We see the impact of suicide attempts, even when "unsuccessful", on others.

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

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

The CFA Board of Directors officially endorsed the idea on Dec. 5, 2009 with a resolution calling on campus CFA chapters to hold "large on-campus actions that are effective, strategic, and highly visible" on March 4. Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA said, "The future of our country and our state are at stake. Our kids need public education from pre-school all the way to PhD. The slashing of education funds has to stop, and the only way to fight back is for the entire education community to stand together," said Taiz. Participants in the demonstrations are expected to address budget cuts, student fee increases, dwindling course selection, admissions restrictions, layoffs, furloughs, and a myriad of other issues plaguing California's public education estab- an institution for HSI status. The achivement was the result of hard work by a special HSI task force here at CSUSM. According to President Haynes, this task force was "a group of f aculty, s taff, student, and community representatives, who have been working diligently to help the University achieve this designation since I first gave them their charge in 2004." "As CSUSM enters its third decade of service to our region, we can all b e proud that our commitment to the historic mission of public higher education is continuing to move forward. Not only does achieving HSI status align with two of our campus strategic priorities, Educational Equity and Academic Excellence, but it speaks of our commitment to reflecting and serving our region while raising the educational attainment rate of all students," said President Haynes. lishments. and organizations are free to choose Don Barrett states, "the goal of their specific demands and tactics organizers of the event is to apply — such as strikes, rallies, walkouts, pressure on the legislature to recon- occupations, sit-ins, teach-ins, etc. sider the funding of public educa- — as well as the duration of such tion, encourage the campus com- actions." munity to be actively involved in demanding support for public education, and stimulate North County SmTEWÌ0E D Y OF ACTION FOE HiSHER ED A and broader civic interest in issues of public education and funding."

BY MAbLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Toyota makes a majority of the vehicles seen here on campus because they a re known for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the trust in these vehicles has been put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles being recalled. The p urpose of the recall was brought t o the attention of Toyota by a series of accidents, but many Toyota c ustomers have come f orward since the recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained about unwanted acceleration before t hese accidents took place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has caused some Toyota owners to realize that not only can ihey not have t rust in their vehicles p erformance, but they also c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir safety! A fatal accident involving a Lexus ES 350 took the lives of four people in Santee, where the vehicle speed up to 125mph on the freeway before it crashed past a truck and went air born off an embankment. Accord-M ing to Toyota, the crash was caused by the throttle being wedged down because there is, "...potential for accelerator pedals to become trapped near the floor by out-of-position or inappropriate floor mat installations." Toyota owners who are affected by this fiobr mat recall are instructed to take out the removable driver's mat and to not replace it with any other mat. The Carlsbad Toyota Supervisor, Jana Leopard, said that this recall j ob would require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will be reduced. They will also shorten the accelerator pedal, and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the f uel line to be shut off when the brake and throttle are being pushed at the same time, so that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator. The other recall is to solve the sticky accelerator problem, which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the modifications. For this recall, the customer c an have access t o a rental car, but they must be twenty-one years old. To f ix the problem the dealership will install a reinforcement bar behind the pedal to lessen f riction. Leopard said that concern for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and vehicles in colder climates. Toyota had f irst believed that the unwanted acceleration was only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with instances such as the one that occurred in Southlake, Texas, the company had to question their analysis. In Southlake, a 2008 Toyota Avalon sped out of control into a pond, and it was determined that faulty floor Image Courtesy of nhtsa.gov mats did not cause the accident because they were found in the trunk. Toyota is making the correct steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but the question is have they really learned their lesson? Jim Lentz, President of Toyota Sales in the USA makes a statement that implies that the Company wants to minimize the blame. "With respect to unintended acceleration, a rare event for which all automakers have received complaints, the causes can indeed be d ifficult to identify." He boasts about the company, "Confirmed incidents of unintended accelera- tion are a very small fraction of Locations: Carlsbad - 760-438-2000 vehicles on the road, and T oy/ Escondido - 760-746-0601 ota's track record for reliability remains strong " ; They recommend making an appointment.

Most people would not hesitate at the chance to skip a day of class, but when you are not feeling so bad that all jyou want is to stay in bed, taking a sick day has the potential to be boring. If Me common cold is what ails you, there are a few coldfixesmost everyone has at hdme to fill a day with healing power (or at least something to do). Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not only takes a little time to prepare, but it is afeaone of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to ^biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in the growth and rebuilding of bone and muscle. Stay away from chalky vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food and Nutrition board recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than multivitamins, since the latter are synthetic and less easily absorbed. Go lay out. Here in San Diego, tanning in February is certainly not out of the question. Getting some sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed moods during Fall and Winter, mostly because of a vitamin D deficiency. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Listen to mom, have some chicken soup. The old mantra as a standby for cold treatment is more valid than you might think. Soup has much more water in it than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to fight off a cold virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional ^hicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, in case that dry cough is getting tough to handle (lifeclinic. com). Read: chocolate and peanut butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here, but both foods are high in zinc, which has the potential to shorten the duration of a cold. Chocolate candy with high concentrations of cacao is preferred, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. Organic peanut butter made from oil-roasted peanuts and minimal sweeteners is your best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides nearly half of the RDA of zinc. Calm down with chamomile. Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the eyes. Calm redness in your eyes with the super anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool until it is barely warmer than your skin, and rinse your; face with it. According to | he FDA, chamomile causes allergfc reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa.

Mike Pena drew a walk, and with two outs, Matt Jenkins continued his hot hitting with a big RBI double. That brought up Ricardo Moran, who gave his team some breathing room with a two-run homer, his first of the season. But San Diego Christian would tie it back up with one swing of the bat in the seventh, as Luis Perez hit a three-run homer with no outs to chase Miller from the game. The Cougar bullpen would hold strong, however. Relievers Auggie Richardson and Ricky Chavarria combined to get through the seventh, and after Silvett doubled in Omar Manzanarez in the eighth, Spencer Pardon and Mitch Ferguon would each throw scoreless, hitless innings to secure the 4-3 victory.

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

The Carlsbad-based company In Motion Inc. is organizing the event, which is due to start on the Mangrum Track on campus at 8am. Hugo Lecomte is director of Campus Recreation on campus, which is helping co-host the event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of the best ones because we have a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot of experience. It's a very easy event—if you don't feel like running you can walk it. It's a cheap price for this event, so it might be yourfirstopportunity as a student to participate to a running event."

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

It's an amazing event, 5k is a great distance; you can either walk, jog or run. "The other event is the Ilk. This one is more challenging. It will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called double peak. It's mostly on trails and it's a very big challenge because there is a lot of elevation gain so it's a big race for heart rate," said Lecomte. Both the races are due to start at 8 AM. However, the students running in the 11km race will be released in a series of waves and not all at once. The event also allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part. There is also reason for those who do not which to compete to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so if they don't want to register to race or to run or to walk, they can always volunteer for this event," said Lecomte. There will also be a festival at the event, which involves venders, food and music by The North County Cowboys. A portion of the event's proceeds will go to the Cal State San Marcos Athletics Department. ident Stephen Weber in attendance.

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

"I think it will bring a lot of awareness to the situation. I'm pretty sure [teachers] aren't allowed to talk about it, or they're not supposed to be giving their opinions [about] the matter. I understand that the teachers have lots of stressful things; they have to do research and maintain the classes that they teach. They have a lot of work to do. I understand that." "I think it's important for the teachers to have their time to have what they need to say and I think it's a good idea that they stream it in class to get everybody else aware, all their students aware of everything, because we are in hard times. So, I think the teachers need to say what they need to say. I probably will go, yes."

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

The following game will be March 6 playing Chapman again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at Escondido High School. "A lot of people don't know about CSUSM's baseball team. We love our fans, but we would love it if even more CSUSM students and fans could make it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior. With the new Softball field built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty. Now, the baseball team awaits their turn for a home field here on campus. Even with their home fields spread out around San Diego at Escondido High School, Poway High School, and Point Loma, the team's season thus far has shown a great amount of success and dedication. "I think our team should do pretty well this season though. Hopefully, we can make it to playoffs and win," continued Julienne. On March 9, the cougars will be playing a double header facing Illinois Tech at 11:00 AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School.

Suddenly the town's residents By Bill Rhein /Senior Staff Writer "BITCH SLAP" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer JJ cial aspect to this type of film is can it create the tension and the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account, there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. The slow build up of the music and the different use of camera angles create the tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in your mouth' moment. If you are the kind of person that likes movies that make you 'jump out of your seat' then this one is for you, countless scenes can make the viewer leave their chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the way through. However, for me some of the scenes became a little predictable, as it was clear towards the end that the 'jump out of your chair' moment was coming, and as a result I wasn't surprised when it did.

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

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

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

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

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola BY KYLE TREMBLEY On Saturday at CSUSM Softball Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1 victory over Biola University, and Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4 win in game two. The sweep improves #20-ranked CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola M s to 12-10. It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside from a lapse in the second inning of game two, looked very good on the day. Game one was dominated by Sandberg, who through six innings had allowed just one baserunner. She ended up going the distance, striking out ten batters while surrendering just one unearned run on two hits and one walk to pick up her 10th win of the season. The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her team-leading sixth home run of the season. From there, CSUSM would pick up an insurance run in the fifth, with Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild pitchfollowinga base hit and an Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars would tack on another in the sixth, with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off with a single, advancing to third on a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring on a solid Shanti Poston single up the middle. The 3-1 margin would hold, as Sandberg worked through a little trouble in the seventh to preserve the victory. Game two would require some perseverance, but the Cougars rose to the challenge. Biola played small ball in the second, taking advantage of a Cougar defense that committed three errors and made some questionable decisions to take an early 4-0 lead But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of the frame as Villalpando delivered a big two-RBI single that plated Coelho and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando. And in the third, the Cougars would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the ball, doubling to lead off the inning. Ashman drew a walk, and a base hit by Poston loaded the bases. That brought up Villalpando again, and once again she knocked a two-RBI single right up the middle to give CSUSM a 5-4 lead That score would hold for most of the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe ship on the mound and the defense settled in. In the bottom of the sixth, Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home run to push the lead to 6-4.

Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational BY KYLE TREMBLEY A day after the Cougar distance runners competed at the Occidental Distance Carnival, the rest of the team participated in the Point Loma Invitational, hosted by Point Loma Nazarene on Saturday. And for the second straight day, plenty of Cougar athletes punched their tickets to Nationals. On the women's side, the 4x100- meter relay team earned the "A" standard, guaranteeing them a spot at Nationals. The team of Aimee Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds, good for second place at the meet. The 4x400-meter team got the "A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury, Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of 3:54.28. Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter dash, running 57.67 seconds to win the event. In the field, Andrea Talhami earned the "A" standard in the triple jump with a distance of 11.48 meters. She finished in second place. On the men's side, the 4x100meter relay team earned the "A" standard and won the race. The team of Thomas McDougal, Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein, and Nicholas Henderson posted a time of 41.78 seconds. That same team also met the "B" standard in the 4x400-meter relay, winning the race with a time of 3:17.73. Harbour also earned his individual "A" standard in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 52.6 seconds. He won the event as well. änrn^y High Tide: 11:29 AM Low Tide: 4:58 PM Wave Height: 4 ft y p | g unnel High Tide: 12:11 PMI Low Tide: 5:20 PM I Wave Height: 3-4 f t! ^HHBl w / \ 9 mnw High Tide: 6:55 AM Low Tide: 1:06 PM Wave Height: 3 ft �Surf team competes at state championships Team members advance toward national title BY MALLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM Surf Team competed in the NSSA Interscholastic State Championships on March 5-7 at Huntington Pier, and placed 8 among the other 21 competing teams. Huntington Beach offered the competitors decent weather, and 2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the final rounds, the wind increased to bring the surf up to a peaky th 5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was a dominant force that crushed the rest of their competitors in the finals leaving their score at 162. The runner-up UCSB only scored 132. The surfers competing are judged on their best two waves in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to advancing. Unfortunately luck can be a variable as well. The team didn't fair well in round one. Kailtin Maguire and Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on Sunday in the semi-finals for the long board division. The long board division is co-ed, and Maguire is the only woman who has been able to break into the final round in previous events. Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events. Mick Rogers is ranked 6th after competing in all four events. He said, "I started off the event on a positive note, managing to string together a couple of good turns with some nose rides, but on Sunday, due to crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put it all together." Rogers said that the benefits of being part of the CSUSM surf team are, "To be part of a team, with people that all share similar interests." He said he enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up and down the California coast." Both Rogers and Maguire see surfing as something they can enjoy easily while still making time for school. Maguire said "School is a once in a iifetime opportunity, and you can't really Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in the future. These days it seems that even the best of the pros are struggling to make a life out of surfing." The team represents the school in competitions, but also allows these individuals to be able to do what they enjoy while still planning for their future. Even though the other team members didn't advance into final rounds, the experience of competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National Championships in June, where they will defend their title. Last year, the team won their first National Title for the school in Photo by Mike Rogers a tiebreaker finish against west coast school UNCW. Scott McBride, who took 4th place in the men's short board division at last year's National Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding, the team has Alexa Thornton, who is ranked a promising 7th out of 63 other competitors. Last year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level. Laura Thatcher and Summer Meyer are contenders as well, ranking in the top 25. The team also has the assistance of their veteran advisor Amber Puha to help them capture the title again. 11 Keep America beautiful for your chance to f o r your favorite club, sorority or charity Earn your degree in I H education in 12-18 months.

CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March 27, since week one, according to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign. "We started out in the lead and the lead has shrunk a little bit but were still up by good seven, seven and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well enough to come in ahead." -^ , V* Íííi&.í « sBllliillliiil llSllllllii II* t Photo by James Seabring The results of the competition are announced in mid-April, once all the participants have sent in their data, according to recyclemania.org. Universities and colleges compete against each other over a 10-week period to see which has the best recycling program. RecycleMania ranks participants according to which category they entef. These categories include most recyclables per capita, the highest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, Image courtesy of CSUSM.edu and who has achieved the highest recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www. recyclemania.org. CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title of Grand Champion for the past five years in a row. Hanson said the reason he feels the campus has done so well over the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began the recycling program at the same time. So when everybody got their trash containers they got blue ones. So from the very beginning in the offices and the classrooms everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given. "It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson saidv Recycle bins are located all over the campus and are placed next to trash containers. They are color coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT Support has also been an important part of the success. "We have had great support from the See Recycle, Page 3 ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun BY MALLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Arts & Entertainment 3 D Experience On Thursday, March 18 during U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students can have fun during spring break while still keeping their safety in mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption, sexual protection, transportation, and activities associated with spring break. At the event the mock-tails of Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only a refreshment to enjoy with their Chick-Fil-A but informative facts about alcohol's effects on the body. Students who pledged not to drink and drive during spring break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also wore a bracelet, showing other students through out the day that they had made the pledge. When student Stevie Perez was asked about the pledge he made, he said, "It's a great reminder. I will keep the pledge bracelet on to remind me not to drink and drive, and to remember to not let my own friends drink and drive." At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The booth also promoted the RADD program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with the RADD logo would receive free non-alcoholic beverages at the 23 participating bars in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area. If students are staying local, the event promoted the Breeze Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can transport drinking students safely to the popular areas by the beach, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick up from Oceanside is an early See ASI, Page 3 Photo by Mollane Dressel Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra j ob?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The benefits are endless for the person who embarks on this great adventure of learning how to surf. Personal health should be important to everybody, and there is no greater way to get into shape than by doing an athletic activity that is more fun than work. MSNBC recently reported on how surfing is not only meditative, but great for the body as well, by presenting the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques that health-club acolytes would trade their memberships for." Also appearing in the report was Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing to his non-surfing patients who suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries, and chemical addictions. Long time suffers are known to refer to surfing's other healing properties, such as expressed in this testimonial of a local surfer, "It [puts] you one with nature, clears your soul of bad vibes, and can make you more humble." For whatever the reason surfing seems appealing, the experience may even create more reasons to be drawn to it, such as the "stoke" of surfing, an indescribable feeling that consumes surfers, causing them to always want more time in the water. A crash course in surfing is best done through instruction, and due west of San Marcos there happen to be two camps that teach children as well as adults for a decent price. Gerry Kantor, surfing since the 60s in the San Diego area, heads Leucadia Surf. His business is very reputable since he requires that all instructors have several water safety certifications, be avid long time surfers, and either be a college graduate or a current college student. The instructors are also thoroughly trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction. Leucadia Surf's set up is on Moonlight Beach, which they boast as having "[some] of the best beginner waves in San Diego." Depending on if the participant wants one on one instruction or group, the cost can range from $60 to $120 for a two-hour session. The lesson also includes the use of a board and wetsuit. Another surf camp located close by is So Cal Surf Lessons, conducted at North Carlsbad State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established this instructional surf business, which follows similar guide- lines as Leucadia Surf, in the summer of 2004. They are a little cheaper, providing lessons in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental for students after their lesson. If a beginner would rather take on surfing on their own, they can also rent boards for $8 an hour or $30 for a day, and wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20 a day from the establishment, So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf shop, Progression Surf, located on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20 a day, and $40 for a hard board for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to the be&ch. If beginners try to brave this sport on their own, they should acquire a longboard because it will be easier to stand up on, obtain a few helpful tips, and have the ability to swim well. It sounds funny, but the best way to learn to pop up on the board is by practicing on the beach. Put the board on the sand, and then lay on it. Next, place the hands on the board underneath your shoulders as if doing a push up, then push up, and slip the feet separated onto the middle of the board, in a semi-crouched, and sideways stance. < Once the pop-up is perfected the next big feat is to make it out to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into lenging, but the more momen- the water. When an agreeable tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon, more successful the participant they should orient themselves will be in getting past the break- to be facing the shore, and then ers. Gn a long board, the most paddle until they feel the wave efficient way to pass the waves pushing them before they do is to turtle the board. To turtle the practiced pop-up. If all goes the board, the individual must well they should be riding in no flip themselves and the board time. whilefirmlygripping the board. This may seem like a taxing When the wave passes they process, but once that first wave should resume paddling until is caught the pay out is huge. they reach the area right after A beginner can easily become where the waves are breaking, hooked on their first ride, and then sit on the board in making them want to come back order to have better maneuver- and enjoy the beach in their ability for catching waves. The newly discovered way more easiest way to get up on a wave often than ever. Surfing can for beginners is by riding the cause that new hooked person white wash, which is where the to not only want to have more wave as already broken. This fun at the beach more often, but allows for more stability, and can also help them develop a less pearling, which is when healthy body and mind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tanning has b een around f or years and will continue to b e a summer activity for many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those rays is essential to any f uture tanner. Many aim to achieve a healthy glow each summer, but the t ruth is that the skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural defense mechanism against sun damage. Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays.

Alternatives to U V tanning beds and outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better for your skin. . Exposure to the sun can cause many r isks to our bodies that many people are still unaware of. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result in premature aging, skin cancer, eye damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots can appear giving skin an uneven tone that o ften worsens with age. Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds are also a danger for our skin, and have required certain states to impose an 18 and u p restriction for tanning bed usage. According to MSNBC, recent results f rom a study done by the World Health Organization might be j ust the incentive that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds for those under 18. The risks are very real and because none of them are fast acting, many people disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of the American Academy of Dermatology Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men is ballooning in young women, the very target audience and number one customer of the tanning industry." Even though the risks are great in the most common way of getting that summer glow, don't b e discouraged, there are many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects. Spray on tanning has become more and more popular in the last couple of years and the popularity is widely due to the fact that with this method the perfect tan can be achieved all year long.

The title of "Grand Champion" goes to the school with the highest percentage of waste recycled on campus. CSUSM beat out over 600 university competitors f rom the United States, Canada, and as f ar away as Qatar to w in the honor with a 71.82 percent recycle rate. A trophy, for the victory can b e seen at the Big Cat Food C ourt on campus. " Our campus was created with recycling in m ind," said Carl Hanson, Recycle Mania leader and the recycling program coordinator on campus. Hanson mentioned the early developed of our campus, growing u p in the early 90s when the start of environmental issues were j ust becoming a growing concern. "We have evolved a great waste diversion system on this campus, it [recycling] was h ere f rom the beginning a nd soon became a p art of our culture." Students involvement make a d ifference, through raising awareness and other leadership e fforts felt throughout campus. "While students come and go, it is their increasing enthusiasm, especially with the rise of the "Green Revolution," which gives the program its energy. There have also been outstanding individual-student leaders over the years that have made a difference," continued Hanson. Hanson feels that CSUSM has always had an advantage over other campuses for the w inning Recycle Mania because it is the e ffort that our campus makes all year long and not only during the Recycle Mania contest. Recycle Mania 2010 January 17th-March 27th " Our recycling rate numbers are consistently high, so we don't have to really 'gear u p' for the 10 week competition each January." w CSUSM has proven to be a leader in recycling because "going-green" is important to faculty, s taff, and students. The f uture for recycling at CSUSM looks promising and the title helps set our campus as a model for other universities to improve recycling e fforts. Other ideas that our waste management division system team is working on for f uture development includes working with food services to increase recyclable, reusable and compostable products, according to Hanson. The team is also looking into developing s food composting program on campus.

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

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

By expanding their audience to people outside of the Magee Park Poets, they will be encouraging younger and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the Magee Park Poets to possibly be exposed to more diverse poetry, allowing them to manipulate their writing to even greater heights because one of the best ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry. ^ Are you looking to get more involved? Looking for a few e xtra units? Want something to add to your resume? U Karp shared her piece called "Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way Rumi has the ability to describe the indescribable. Cesmat shared a descriptive piece, "Sliding From Seeds," that was reminiscent of the far-reaching explicit metaphors found in Rumi's work. Through this sharing process, those in the audience that were not part of the Magee Park Poets were able to see how the poets being praised at the event had affected the poets in the audience, but it also made the event feel less open and more exclusive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Playing on Primm Valley Golf course in Primm, NV, the Cougars are up against some of the best in the NAIA. Along with fellow Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) powerhouses #3 University of British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team grouping also includes #4 Cal Baptist from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference. After one of two rounds, CSUSM is solidly in the mix with a team score of 308. Cal Baptist leads at 294, British Columbia is in second at 301, and Concordia (OR) is in third at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four shots behind CSUSM at 312. Individually, Ellyse Siu shot a fantastic even-par 72 for the Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia wasn't far behind at +1 (73). Linnel DeVilla shot a 79, and Megan Pechner and Stephanie Cole both shot 84. Despite just one automatic bid available for this packed region, CSUSM Head Coach Fred Hanover is optimistic about his team's chances to continue its season. "I feel good about our chances for Nationals," he said following Monday's round. The tournament will conclude with the second and final round on Tuesday. What do you wantP Give us your feedback.

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

The Last Airbender James Cameron forced this adaptation of the Cartoon Network show "Avatar" to change it's name. This story about warriors with elemental powers is a departure for the thriller-sawy director M. Night Shyamalan. After flopping with consecutive films, including "The Happening," this might be a major career change. July 9th Despicable Me DreamWorks, who already had success with "How to Train Your Dragon" this year, is releasing another film, in addition to the fourth S Shrekfilm,to compete the with the DisneyPixar hit machine. This animated story features the voice of Steve Carell and his quest to become the most notorious criminal caper.

This reality-bending thriller appears to be a return to the style he executed in his earlier work, such as "Memento." July 23rd Dinner for Schmucks This comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd will be this summer's equivalent to "The Hangover." In this remake of "The Dinner Game," Rudd plays a whitecollar worker who brings the dimwitted Carell to a dinner party where his sadistic co-workers play games with their guests. August 6th The Other Guys Though another buddy cop film, "Cop Out,"floppedthis year, Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg hope to reel in laughs in this comedy. The duo a play a mismatched pair of less-than-heroic cops who create havoc when they take a chance to step up on a case. August 13th The Expendables The most important part of this final summer action romp is the cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and directed it, so it should not be hard to guess this is an all out festival of guns and explosions. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series. This film stars Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's usual troupe, and the trailers make thisfilmlook like a shcker version of older "Batman" movies. August 20th The Switch This date movie begins with a wild premise. Jennifer Aniston plays a woman whose best friend, played by Jason Bateman, accidentally switches the sample for her artificial insemination with some of his own specimen. Seven years later, they reunite and discover what happened.

"And when faculty morale is negatively affected, it can't help but affect students!" said Dr. Thomas. Dr. Barrett and the CFA urge students to vote on the issues that affect them and their education within the state of California. Since the state remains without a budget, it is imperative, according to Dr. Barrett, that students understand drastic cuts will begin in Spring 2011 and beyond if no budget appears soon.

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

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

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

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

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

PROWLIN' THE KITCHEN OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET! BY J ENNA JAUREGUI D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER When faced with a tight food budget, many college students turn to Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but not always the appetite. If you are among the droves of starving students who find their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow me to introduce you to an old friend you may have forgotten: oatmeal! A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain that can substitute as breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber, which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In addition, oats boost your immune system, provide several vitamins and minerals, and may help prevent certain cancers. Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes, and smart shoppers can bring the price per bowl down to mere pennies. Here are three sweet ideas to zing up this great grain and add even more nutrients. Pumpkin Pie Vi cup quick oats A cup pumpkin puree 1 tbsp. vanilla extract allspice, honey, and brown sugar to taste Carrot Cake Vi cup quick oats VA cup shredded carrot (cooked) 2 tbsp. vanilla yogurt cinnamon to taste Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Vi cup quick oats 1 packet hot chocolate 1 tbsp. peanut butter l Everyone prepares their oatmeal different ways—some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot nine days old (as the rhyme goes, though I do not support that plan). Cook it how you like it! Throw in some nuts, some fruit, or whatever you think sounds delicious. Get beyond the raisin rut! Pop the bowl in the microwave, and you have a delicious hot meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting! Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students! The Cookin'Cougar N OW PLAYIN HE WAS GIVEN AN OFFER H E COU wmmS BY M ILA P ANTO V ICH P RIDE STAFF W RITER Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived from a fake trailer that he created for the "Grindhouse" double-feature released with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez took full advantage of every Mexican stereotype he could think of, surrounding them with needless nudity and absurdly comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining. Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM IlftSfilY TREJO «s BACHETE brutally killed his wife and daughter. Until he can get to Torrez, Machete spends his time roaming a parking lot in Texas looking for work with other illegal immigrants from Mexico. He finds himself hired by the nasty and conniving Booth (Jeff Fahey of "Lost") to assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator, McLaughlin (Robert De Niro). However, when Machete realizes that he has been used as a 4» political pawn to further Senator McLaughlin's re-election campaign, his need for retribution is kicked into overdrive and Machete is joined by freedomfighterLuz (Michelle Rodriguez), Padre the priest who knows how to wield 12-gauge shotguns (Cheech Marin), ICE agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie, internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan). Instead of relying on plot or character development, which are two elements completely ignored in this film, "Machete" depends upon the exploitive humor of using Mexican stereotypes as a running joke. With decapitated heads flying, weed-whackers as weapons and cell phones being hidden within orifices of the female body, the only thing needed to know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket price. �ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 D ROPPING THIS WEEK BY REBEKAH GREENE j>RIDE STAFF WRITER Interpol - Self-titled Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the Bright Lights" was released in 2002.

This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer. Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet still manages to sound upbeat and positive.

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

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

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

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

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

PHOTO B Y TORIA BODDEN Prowlin' the kitchen Farmer's Market special: bruschettà BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Farmers' markets are steadily gaining popularity as more people venture out from under the grocery store's fluorescent lights and into the world of open-air shopping. Featuring locally grown and often organic produce, farmers' markets are the perfect place to find fresh, healthy choices and support the local agricultural community. The farmers' market experience stimulates every sense—the colorful array of food, the free samples of homegrown goods, and the pleasant conversation with local growers all help you to remember where your food comes from and appreciate its roots. During this late summer season, local markets have an abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other garden goodies. This week's recipe features ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. According to healthfood-guide .com, tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested that tomatoes may help fight aging and degenerative diseases. Fresh, organic produce from the farmers market guarantees that the tomato's nutrient power is" at its peak! What better way to highlight this juicy fruit than a delicious batch of bruschettà? Although the name may sound fancy, bruschettà is one of the simplest, quickest ways to use your farmers' market finds. Enjoy this tasty Italian creation as an appetizer, a side dish, or a hearty snack! Fresh Bruschettà 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 tbs olive oil 2 large ripe tomatoes, finely chopped Vi cup chopped fresh basil Vi cup crumbled cheese (like feta,ricotta,or goat cheese) salt and pepper to taste crusty bread Combine garlic, olive oil, chopped tomatoes, and basil until well mixed and season with salt and pepper.

Hastings (Nebraska) falls to 1-4. Despite the short turnaround time, the Cougars for the most part looked sharp, generating numerous scoring chances and Penalty kick downs Cougar women in overtime BY MICHAEL RAWSON In the afternoon game, a controversial call minutes into the first overtime handed the Master's College women the victory over the Lady Cougars, 1-0. Looking sluggish after a successful road trip to Arizona, Cougar men hold Master's College scoreless in tie BY MICHAEL RAWSON The men's soccer team took a big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The Master's College to a 0-0 draw in double overtime. But they sure could have used Brandon Zuniga. Last year's team MVP and star forward ran out of eligibility after the 2009 season, and Ron Pulvers knows it won't be easy to replace him. "Players like him showing flashes of real quality in the open field. CSUSM out-shot Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. The game's lone goal came late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte, who knocked it across the face of the goal to Lauren Johnson. Johnson expertly controlled the pass, and from the right side of the goal finished with a slicing shot past the keeper into the leftside netting. That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the Cougars generate plenty more chances but not quite be able to finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in net, making a pair of saves and consistently making the right decisions. Cougar women's soccer will face a big test this Wednesday at home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM. Pulvers' side spent most of the game in the middle of the field. The two teams traded mostly weak chances during regulation. Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball up toward the Cougar goal. A Mustang player went down near the 18-yard line. The foul looked like it could have been a free kick, but the official pointed to the penalty box. Andie Reyes easily put the chance into the right corner past All-American keeper Kaycee Gunion, who dove left. "For me, in an overtime game like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought there were too many questions about whether or it was or not for it to be called, [but] we put ourselves in a bad spot on that particular play." "And whether the penalty was a penalty...that's certainly a questionable situation, but we TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 should have never been in that position to begin with, because we were just lazy in recovering defensively," said Pulvers. Amanda Diamond stopped five shots to record the shutout for the Mustangs. Gunion also saved five. The Cougars will play anmomentum and managing just two shots on goal. After a late foul in overtime, Cougar Captain Bradley Seidenglanz had the game's best chance on the ensuing free kick, but sent it sailing inches over the crossbar. Andrew Bussell made two key saves for CSUSM. Master's Defender Brian Gardner nearly put the game away in overtime, but his long attempt from the left side bounced harmlessly off the right post. The Master's College really come around once in awhile," the Head Coach told The Pride. "We'll miss him." The young Cougars (22-1) sorely missed his presence at Mangrum Field on Wednesday, failing to mount any offensive Late Comeback Comes Up Short as Men's Soccer Falls to Westmont BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a big crowd in Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer came up short against a good Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road last Saturday. CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year. Westmont is 3-0-2. The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West- mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute. Westmont added its second early in the second half, as a corner kick was headed into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute. CSUSM would respond though, as Sterling Petersen scored following a throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by that 2-1 margin. Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for the Coguars.

Coach Pulvers enjoyed the performance of his young defense. "At the spine of our team, we play freshman, sophomore, freshman, sophomore," he said after the game. "[The Team's] work ethic ...has been awesome all season long. We've just showed some real inexperience in the games we've lost. Today, they showed a lot of maturity in being able to close the defending national runner-up to a draw." leading 7-3 in corner kicks. Taylor Schurman led the Cougars with three shots.

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

A FTE R ESIDENT EVIL: BYMILAPANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is the fourthfilmin the "Resident Evil" series, based off of the popular video game franchise. With three films preceding it, «T one would assume that the story has beenfinelytuned and perfected with years of experience. However, what the audience gets instead is afilmcompletely lacking in story, credible dialogue, believable characters, or any sense of depth beyond the welldone 3D animation. With characters speaking in stilted military commands and a story that grows tedious and repetitive, the film seems to only be a 3D platform for returning writer and director, Paul W.S. Anderson. The film follows Alice (Milla Jovovich) in her continued, and nearly pointless, struggle to take down the Umbrella Corporation. Alice spends the beginning of thefilmin search of Claire (Ali Larter) and the rest of the survivors that she was separated from at the end of the previous film. The group had gone in search of the elusive Arcadia, a place of promised refuge from the dangerous T-virus that turns people into zombie-like monsters. Upon finding Claire, Alice joins a group of people who are trapped in the middle of Los Angeles, surrounded by the infected masses, with no way of escape. Within this group of stock characters is an ex-sports star (Boris Kodjoe), an arrogant Hollywood producer (Kim Coates) and his timid intern (Norman Yeung), and Chris (Wentworth Miller), a man with familial connections to Claire that come across forced and entirely of convenience. Together, they discover the reality of Arcadia, while Alice is unknowingly pulled into yet another evil plan, orchestrated by the film's lifeless evildoer Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), of the Umbrella Corporation. Like the past "Resident Evil" films, the plot suffers greatly to the importance of the special effects used to give thefightscenes more impact. The director Paul W.S. Anderson makes good use of the James Cameron and Vince Pace 3D Fusion Camera System that was created for "Avatar," giving "Resident Evil: Afterlife" a visual depth that allow the viewers to feel a part of the action onscreen, thus being the only aspect keeping them from giving up on thefilmentirely. The use of 3D attempts to distract the viewers from the complete lack of story progression, where nothing is gained in the film and there is little point behind anything the characters experience. Slow motion is used in nearly every scene, quickly becoming an annoyance by dragging on selfimportant looks shared between characters as they shoot paths through the infected zombies closing in. The film can be broken into segments of fight scenes that fail to connect with one another, quickly killing characters off-screen, while moving along at a hurried pace towards the intended climax. However, with the credits rolling 20 minutes too soon, the end comes without warning and fails to satisfy, leaving the audience without any sort of resolution to the 97 minutes they just endured. When it comes to actual story, there seems to be nothing left to squeeze from the tired "Resident Evil" franchise and yet, the promise of a fifth installment ends the film as a looming threat. There is no doubt that another sequel is in the works, preparing to throw Alice in the middle another battle with an unreachable end to the franchise. Ultimately, the "Afterlife" that the title promises is completely joyless and without refuge - for the characters and the audience.

The bartenders always provide an outstanding performance for their customers by constantly engaging them in conversation while promoting an energetic environment and never lacking a smile. In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns. One great factor about PB Bar & Grill is that there is always a diversity of new people to see and meet, the vast majority being very friendly and outgoing, according to Karla Cordero, a Liberal Arts major at CSUSM and a regular PB Bar & Grill customer. She states, "I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main reasons why I am there almost every Thursday." The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock and old school rap. "The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have gone to play the same tunes over and over again," said Karla. In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks. Specials consists of sushi that starts at $3.95 and, when one buys two or more rolls they get any popular or hand roll free. Not to mention that after 8 p.m. all drinks are half off and shots are $3 off as well. They do have other specials on a daily basis and throughout the week their menu includes 20 types of drafted beers and ciders, along with appetizers, burgers, fries, tacos, ribs, and chicken.

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

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

CSUSM has been struggling to replace dynamic freshman forwards Amy Young and Dani Porter, both of whom are injured. The Cougars have scored just two goals in their last five games. However, the squad has posted a respectable 2-1-2 record in that span, thanks largely to a staunch back line that played another excellent game on Saturday.

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

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

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

"Despite all the resources available, it is important to remember that your success will depend largely on you, the individual student," continued Northway. SSS focuses on academic success, but not everything is related to study. SSS helps enrich students' cultural growth and college experience by also providing students access to culture activities such as plays and musical performances. "What are some of the unique contributions that you can provide to CSUSM and your community? What measures can you take now to become your own best advocate for your education?

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

The success factor questionnaire is made to assist students in understanding their grades and graduation rates. This questionnaire was made to help students understand the type of learners that they are. Some of the questions ask about grade point averages, studying habits, and majors.

Saia said he and his assistants are already recruiting players under NCAA rules, which are* more stringent in terms of documentation. Once admitted into the NCAA, Saia and his assistants will also have to follow strict guidelines regulating coach and player contact. So far the Cougars have 24 games scheduled in 2011-12, including eight at home. The eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as to add a few more home games. Given that the new campus arena remains in the planning stages, the athletic department is still working on where to host home games. Possibilities include Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and local high schools, although a college would be preferred since high school courts have slight differences in size and would need to be adjusted. Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

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

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

The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers ^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were children. With laughable acting, an extreme emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to rip the same terror from the audience as the irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this film only succeeds in being a weak attempt to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction. NEW CD RELEASES With the sixth season newly underway, the DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic relationship between forensic anthropology and criminal justice, the series continues to follow the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this season is the 100th episode (directed by David Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship, the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season with the characters going their separate ways temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of "Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX. b o n i ; PHOTOS COURTESY AMAZON.COM BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Brandon Flowers - "Flamingo" - Island It has been two weeks since Brandon Flowers's solo record, "Flamingo," has hit stores. The front man of Las Vegas band, The Killers, has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might "mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop. h ¡¡III I V 4 v WÏ % Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" - David Geffen Company It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts. jmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * il M M P -Uj ( 1 - m ¡ — Ë f l H p H mmmm £ |NlMtll m n » .i Ä ' Ä M l i 1 1-ummIJIÄM 1.YEAH YEAH YEAH - MEW POLITICS 2 , « » Y O U - C E E .

The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire. Several great artists and DJs performed at the festival, such as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights. This year Insomniac offered free water refills for everyone, keeping attendees hydrated and dancing all day into the warmnight. The audience seemed electric throughout the 11-hour festival. With the many fast beating songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello played Swedish House Mafia's "One," the audience seemed to get into a frenzy, likewise with ATB when they played Ecstasy and managed to blow a speaker. As soon as the sun set, the out- S Œ door tents filled up at the speed of light. Angello who housed "Alice's House," a massive two story black tent with 78.000 square feet of room to dance and shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life gave people no reason to leave. Festival goers had to dip their heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages, to check out Ferry Corsten, ATB and Markus Schulz, who were blasting music in a hot, white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd. If the 110-degree weather had made you tired, the lawn next to the pond at the entrance seemed a good place to rest while embracing the magic of the moment, looking at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets) up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows. At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in the warm nighs sky, and the bass pumped loud in the background, it truly seemed like wonderland.

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

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

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

"We will either repair what's wrong in the state and move it in the right direction with Jerry Brown, or follow [opposing candidate] Meg Whitman into an abyss, widening the gap between rich and poor, leaving students without education and heading towards a bleak future." One student got up to speak, wanting to present a bipartisan view of the issues facing higher education. He spoke positively of California Governor 2010 candidate Meg Whitman, citing her plan to give PHOTO COURTESY OF CSUSM.EDU billions of dollars back to the CSU system and completely reform the budget, devoting recovered funds to education. Whether college students decide to vote for Whitman or Brown, the overall goal of the Day to Defend Public Education was to inspire people to research the issues facing the public education system and realizes how their vote can help change state policies to change California's schools for the better.

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

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

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

The festival first got its start in 2000 at the University of San Diego, and since has grown into an event that has highlighted and honored over 1,000 independent films from all over the world. Taking place in Mission Valley at the Hazard Center UltraStar Cinema (7510 Hazard Center Drive, San Diego), this year's festival will include over 140 movie screenings from 20 different countries, and will be attended by over 100 filmmakers and actors, including John Cho ("Harold and Kumar" and "Star Trek"), Danny Pudi ("Community"), Ellen Wong ("Scott Pilgrim VS The World"), and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost"). With panels, workshops, live music, and the opportunity to meet filmmakers, The San Diego Asian Film Festival is the perfect chance for you to be adventurous and see some films that maybe you wouldn't normally try out. Kicking off the festival will be the West Coast premiere of the ambitious martial arts film "Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during the Second Sino-Japanese War, it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is the romantic comedy "Au Revoir Taipei," written and directed by Arvin Chen. Spanning just one night, it tells the story of Kai and Susie as they find excitement (including an Asian Four Tops cover band) and love together in Taipei. Produced by Wim Wenders ("Wings of Desire"), "Au Revoir Taipei" promises to be the perfect ending of what is surer to be an amazing festival. Currently tickets in packs of four ($34) and ten ($86) can be purchased online at www.sdaff. org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office. There are many perks of buying your tickets online, including cheaper costs and a special line that allows you inside before those who bought at the box office. If you're looking for a morebudget friendly alternative to this event, allfilmsin the festival playing weekdays at 4 p.m. are free. For more information, visit www.SDAFF.org. PHOTO COURTESY OF POPCULTURESHOCK.COM �HOT O FF THE REEL: R.E.D. by mila p a n t o vich pride s t a f f w r i t e r A movie about retired CIA agents may not seem appealing to a younger generation, but "Red" certainly succeeds in proving any naysayers wrong. Filled with a high-caliber cast, copious amounts of gunfire, fantastic action sequences, and perfectly timed jokes, "Red" manages to set itself apart from any other film at the theater right now, making it the perfect film to catch with a group of friends. Frank Moses is a CIA blackops retiree living a life of calm repetition. He fills his days with a routine that includes watching after an avocado pit and finding excuses to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a telephone operator who escapes her dull life through reading trashy romance novels. However, when a group of heavily armed assassins shoots their way into his house, Frank quickly discovers that he, and all of the agents he worked with, are targets due to their knowledge of top-secret information. After snatching Sarah, who was in danger due to her contact with him, Frank begins reassembling his old team, Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Together, the team makes their way to an ex- citing climax, with a government cover-up involving the Vice President (Julian McMahon), which will leave a smile on your face. It's incredibly hard to pull off a good action comedy without giving the audience the overwhelming feeling that you're trying too hard. Thankfully, Robert Schwentke has an incredible cast that revel in their characters. Bruce Willis plays a ruthless killer who is, as Mirren's character explains, "gooey on the inside." It's a role that Willis has done countless times but it works because delivering fun action scenes (including a scene in which he calmly steps out of a car that's doing a 360 degree spin) is what Wilis does best. x While Willis is good, his fellow retired black-ops agents make the movie truly worth seeing. Playing a cancer patient living in a retirement home, Morgan Freeman is disappointingly underused but uses his screen time with a charming and effortless ease. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist, John Malkovich only gets more fascinating and hypnotizing with age. Even when barely in the frame, he steals nearly every scene that he is in, reveling in Marvin's neurosis and entertaining with merely the raise of an eyebrow. Matching Malkovich for laughs is Helen Mirren, who is absolutely stunning as the polished and lethal weapon's expert, Victoria. Mirren effortlessly proves that, at 65 years old, she is far sexier behind a high-powered machine gun than any young starlet could ever be. Also delivering great performances are MaryLouise Parker, Karl Urban as the conflicted agent tasked with killing the group, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and an adored appearance by Ernest Borgnine. While a PG-13 rating is often a detriment to action films, rest assured that the rating hasn't dulled the explosive fun one bit. "Red" renders the low rating unnoticeable by employing excellent ac. tion scenes and a plethora of gunfire. With bodies being blown to bits, Schwentke turned to stylized sequences without resorting to unnecessary moments of excessive blood. For fans of the original graphic novel of the same name by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer, don't expect a faithful adaptation. After all, the Frank of the book would never be called "gooey." However, as a standalone action film, "Red" makes the right' choice in letting its incredible cast have fun with their roles, which in turn makes the film a complete joy to watch. With its predictability and bloated length that drags in the middle, "Red" doesn't reinvent the action comedy genre by any means. Nevertheless, by providing constant laughs and delivering scenes like Malkovich's attack on a woman in the airport and Mirren's command of a rocket launcher, "Red" will probably be the most fun you've had in a movie theater in a while.

And for those familiar with the Sherlock Holmes anthology, the first episode of the new series was a refreshingly new take on the original story by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Study in Pink." While the specific color may change with each telling (in the original story the color was scarlet), the thematic elements and story structure remain firm.

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

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

If you are seeking to become more involved in the prevention of theft and other crimes, Cougar Watch, the community's crime prevention program, holds dents, faculty and staff to help be the watchful eyes of the school, while providing information on matters like vehicle and office safety, identity theft, and much more. Another program provides students with someone to turn to when needing to report a crime. The University Crime Stoppers Program (http://www. csusm .edu/police/crimestoppers. html) works with the San Diego County Crime Stoppers in giving students the ability to anonymously tip with a single tollfree phone call (888-580-8477). With various sources available, students are even more capable of preventing theft and other crimes on campus and within the community. These tips are just a few of the many things that students can follow on and off campus, in order to bring down the crime statistics and bring those responsible to justice.

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

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

T : MKW : BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings afety o the wake of school Reviewing c BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Oct. 8, shots were fired at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad. Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school. A judge from the Vista Court later arraigned him on Oct. 13. In a country where people have therightto ownfirearmwith a proper license, there are reports of criminal accidents concerning people firing or simply carrying guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

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

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

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

"I wanted to give back; I ended up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure." From there, things began to fall into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly. Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University of Indiana. She has also traveled as a coach to Croatia, leading an American squad in a global challenge, and in 2006 served as the assistant coach for the USA Junior National A2 team. Regardless of the exotic and faraway places in which she has coached, Gustin is impressed Some people never in* tended to become parents. Some people never intended to become volleyball coaches. It just happens. After nearly four perfect years playing Volleyball for Michigan State University, in which she made the all Big-Ten Conference team three times, Sarah Gustin suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back to Southern California in 2000 and signed ojx to be an assistant coach at Vista High School/Less than 10 years later, she has been hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM. "I really felt a strong con- lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the association will be far from easy. "It'll be tough that first year. [NAIA teams are] equivalent to the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of them could beat Division I teams." Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of her. The keys to everything have been handed over by the school, including scheduling games, administrative duties, and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool." Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an idea of what it will be like. with what CSUSM has to offer. "I love it [here]. It's an easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work." Speaking of recruiting, consider Gustin the resident expert in San Marcos. She also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist. Her recruiting here will mostly be done locally, an area that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants to live in Southern California." Like the other sports programs, Gustin's Volleyball team will spend the 2011-12 season as an NAIA independent. Though the NAIA is often thought of as the "I have a very close Mend who started a [NCAA Division II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I said, 'you're crazy, why would you want to start a program from scratch?' And then I didn't think about it until I took the job, but he called me and said, 'Hey, crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of." Likewise, with Gustin on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce the Cougars' way in 2011. Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a large crowd of alumni and fans on homecoming day, #13-ranked Cougar women's soccer defeated conference rival Embry-Riddle 2-0 atMangrumFieldon Saturday. CSUSM improves to 9-1-5 on the year. Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1. It was a big contest between two conference rivals, and while the Cougars weren't at their best, they were good enough to win. CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle 18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage. The Eagles' defense saved three balls off the back line, keeping the contest close. But the Cougars did manage to get a pair of shots past, both in the first half. In the 19th minute, Shelby Bush was taken down in the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between defenders, Johnson loaded up and blasted a shot from about 20 yards out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Johnson's 10th of the season, giving her sole possession of the CSUSM Women's Soccer Ail-Time single-season scoring crown. "It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the hard work is finally paying off."

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

While the film delivers plenty of surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat, the overall experience will leave you feeling just as empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm. Without spoiling the film's events, "Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) find their lavish home quite literally shaken from a mysterious supernatural force. Each reacting to the unnerving events differently, the family is slowly terrorized by doors slamming, eerie BY MILA PANTO VICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds. It isn't until things get out of control that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film. With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity 2" functions in exactly the same way as the first. You may jump from a few scenes that are designed to garner that exact reaction, but by the time the film is over, you will feel just as disappointed as you did upon leaving the first film. The film succeeds in making you tense and nervous and as long as you can get past the complete failure of the sudden ending, you will have a great time being creeped out by basement doors and dark staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween. �DROPPING THIS WEEK BY FAITH ORCINO PRDIE STAFF WRITER How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year. Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois transformed Cressida Cowell's book into a feature film. The movie focuses on the life of Hiccup, a young Viking, whose father is the leader of the village and the top dragon slayer in the land. In order to be recognized, Hiccup attempts to slay a dragon of his own. His plan does not go as planned and — • the teenage warrior's life becomes emotionally entangled with the life of his dragon foe. The DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the film are currently available in stores. A special feature in some of the DVDs is the short film Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon. The Twilight Zone: Fan Favorites Viewers now can return into the strange and twisted realm of the "Twilight Zone." "The Twilight Zone: Fan Favorites" is a 5-disc DVD pack from Image Entertainment.

Part of CSUSM's second annual homecoming week, Masquerade Ball is a tradition that ASI CAB coordinates to celebrate the end of homecoming.

With tickets for 700 CSUSM students and guests, it was a sold out event held at San Diego's House of Blues.

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

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

The election forum, held at 1 p.m. Oct. 26 in Academic Hall 102, was designed to offer a nonpartisan discussion of the 2010 candidates and selected propositions, hoping to give CSUSM students an opportunity to discern their individual opinions in an Professor Greenwood ^analyzed unbiased setting, and to gener- the possible effects of a "yes" ate interest in the Nov. 2 election. or "no" vote on propositions 20, Sponsored by the Califor- 27, 25, 26, and 24 and informed nia Faculty Association (CFA) students how current political at CSUSM, the forum featured processes could be changed by a panel of three educators who voter approval.

After the panel presented both sides of the election issues, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions of the panel. The thoughtful quality of the questions showed that students want to obtain a clear picture of an issue before voting "yes" or "no."

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

There are currently seven student veterans running the center with room for expansion. Two of the members of the Veterans Center are on active duty in the Army Reserve. The CSUSM Veterans Center also helps sponsor various events throughout the semester. On Nov. 9, they will be holding their annual Veterans Day celebration at noon in the Tukwut Courtyard. It will feature a color guard of CSUSM student veterans and feature a message from the deputy commander of Camp Pendleton, Col. David Myers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Men and women fought alongside each other for the same cause and in the same squads. The filmmakers chronicle a group of female veterans known as "Team Lioness," which consists of Specialist Shannon Morgan, Specialist Rebecca Nava, Major Katie Guttormsen, Captain Anastasia Breslow, and Staff Sergeant Ranie Ruthig. Through WWDE diaries and interviews, the film captures the feelings and experiences of this pioneer group of soldiers. In her diary, Captain Anastasia Breslow wrote, "I still can't believe that I was in a firefight. Me, a female signal officer, someone expected to support from a desk was out there. They needed a Lionness team so badly, that even as a support officer I was pulled in. I hope I don't have to do them very often but, I will never try to get out of it."

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

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

The Prestige Edition is only available for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems. According to the game's official website (www.callofduty. com/blackops),players have more options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games, "Black Ops" offers the choice of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play. Other additions include Theater Mode, wager matches, and new killstreaks. The re-, turn of Treyarch also brings the return of the zombie co-op mode, where two players fight an endless army of zombies.

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

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

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

However, after names of individuals under the age of 18 my experiences with the LOTER, or those victimized by a sex crime. my views have begun to shift.

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

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

With a wealth of apps and f unctions, the iPhone's r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device to text friends f or others. While making the most of the device's social capabilities is important, the iPhone o ffers so many apps that the most u seful ones f or students o ften get overlooked. The price of these apps ranges f rom f ree to a round$10. Although most professors w on't allow the use of phones in class, these apps can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change and email a text document when a laptop has been left at home. H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus. Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize, short memos? Evernote is a popular app that allows the user to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice memo, take a photo, or take a screenshot.

Price: Free JotNot Scanner Pro- The dream of scanning papers and keeping them in your pocket is now a reality with JotNot. This app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its visibility f or later viewing. If you ever wanted to copy a page out of a library book without checking it out, JotNot makes it faster than ever. Price: $0.99 iStudiez Pro- Managing dead- lines and class schedules can be a difficult task f or any student. This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it into an easy to navigate calendar and planner. From labs to study groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99 AirSharing- One of the biggest concerns on presentation day is losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your iPhone into a document storage device, allowing you to take your files where ever you go without the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99 Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite- Although i t's the most expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is one of the most u seful apps f or students. Forget about lugging around the laptop, this app gives you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a number of file extensions. Once y ou're finished, y ou're given the option of sending the document out as an email.

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

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

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

California S tate University www.csusm.edu/el CELEBRATING 20 YEARS M H H H H N 8S H H M M H HS I �SPORTS THE PRIDE SEIDENGLANZ SENDS CSUSM MEN'S SOCCER INTO A.I.I. SEMIFINALS BY KYLE TREMBLEY CSUSM M en's Soccer came within inches of its 2010 season coming to an end on Tuesday, but the resilient Cougars battled b ack, defeating Thomas University (GA) 3-2 in overtime to advance to the AJJL Tournament Semifinals. Fifth-seeded C SUSM improves to 12-3-2 on the season. Fourth-seeded T homas's season ends with a 9 -6-3 record. Whether it was the long bus ride to Arizona or the t eam's general youth and inexperience, CSUSM did not come out playing their best soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole. CSUSM would equalize about h alfway through the first half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound Erik Mueller, who converted the opportunity to make it 1 -1. The Cougars would take their first lead in the second h alf, thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances throughout the season with his long throw-ins f rom deep in opponents' territory, and struck again, as his throw-in was inadvertently headed into the net by a Thomas player. That 2-1 score held f or most of the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play, sending the contest into overtime. A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove his shot into the bottom of the crossbar, and it bounced on the goal line before being cleared o ff. Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley Seidenglanz would take matters into his own hands and end the game. In the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the b ox, dribbled across the top of the box, and drove a left-footed shot past the very strong Thomas goalkeeper and into the back of the net, giving Coach Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and advancing them to the semifinals. "We were not the better team today, but our guys willed their way to win," noted Pulvers following the match.

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

With his second album, Cudi picks up where his debut album left o ff, this time dealing with fame's downside, where Cudi meets his evil alter ego, Mr. Rager.

Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill You?- Rocket Science/Wasted Summer Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes.

The first single off the album is titled "Getting Old," but it does not stay true to its name. The song is as infectious as the band's 2006 chart topper "Here (In Your Arms)" from Hellogoodbye's first full length Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.

"There is evidence that the combinations of caffeine and alcohol in these products pose a public health concern," Sharfstein continued. An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland. Many states have already placed bans on caffeine-alcohol combination drinks including Washington, Utah, Michigan and Oklahoma. "We are aware of the concerns expressed by various regulators and will ensure that all JOOSE products meet both state and national health and safety guidelines," continued Michail. "As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks. Other caffeine-alcohol combination drink makers, Miller and Anheuser-Busch, agreed to discontinue beverages such as Sparks, Tilt, and Bu4 Extra within past ypara. To date, the only approved caffeine by the FDA is as an additive for use in soft drinks in concentrations of no greater than 200 parts per million (ppm). The FDA has not approved caffeine for use at any level in alcoholic beverages. The FDA did not mention any restrictions with the use of mixed drinks such as vodka and Red Bull that can be easily ordered at any alcohol-serving establishment.

TURN TO P. 10 FOR A REVIEW "n a college student's life, convenience is important. I .A credit card makes life a bit easier. With one swipe, the bank electronically sends your money to pay for what you need or want. Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal Trade Commission give some tips to students about what to do before signing up for a credit card. The truth about a credit card is that you, the spender, are using money that they, the credit card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common fact that some users forget. The credit card has a preset limit on how much one can spend, but it brings severe consequences if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a minimum amount allowed as the monthly payment. The problem is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of the payment in next month's bill plus what you owe from that bill. In the case that a user misses a payment, the bank or credit card company adds a harsh fine to the bill. Sometimes thefineprint of the contract hides unwanted fees. In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third year Anthropology and Women's Studies double major, gave her thought on the usage of credit cards.

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

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

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

I N C AIRN« MIM From average ioe to IV chef BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sam Zien, better known as "Sam the Cooking Guy," came to San Diego on Nov. 16 and spoke at the Jewish Community Center. The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Before they step into the "real" world, here are some classes that stimulate the mind and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed, in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills. Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3) Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as well as rational arguments and fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one think about different ways people argue and how they cannot really support their arguments.

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

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

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

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

In order to fix those last minute jams, several places and methods can help you. Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put the useless into use. People gave some presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you could not use in your lifestyle. Instead of letting them gather dust in storage, simply wrap the items up for ones you know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space and probably some trees along the way. On the subject of saving money, thrift stores are also cheap solutions for gifts. A donated necklace or fishing rod might be what you have been looking for. The Goodwill in San Diego, there are 15 locations to purchase and donate items. Several other non-profit groups have their own thrift stores in the area. Not only can you find gifts, but also you help some of the unfortunate residents in the county. When it is a challenge to find an exact present for someone, buying a gift card is an easy option. It allows the receiver to buy what they want with the money that is in the card within the designated store. Many stores, including some grocery and online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift cards. Just stop by to check out the choices. If you do not have time to buy a gift card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let gift recipients choose what they want. For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the holiday, affordable decorations are available. Dollar Tree, a money-saving branch of stores, has 12 locations within a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where most of the stock is only a dollar each. They also deliver bulk orders f rom their website to those 12 locations, if requested. You can use any of the given options not only work for the holiday seasons, but also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities. �DROPPING THIS WEEK B Y M ILA P A N T O V I C H P RIDE S TAFF W RITER "Inception" (PG13) Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain. "Shrek Forever After" (PG) Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch. "Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR) Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Last year, the team ended its regular season with a 10-2-5 record. Five players were selected to play for the A.I.I. Women's Soccer All-Conference Team with head coach, Ron Pulvers, named Coach o f the Year. The new season started on a high note as the NAIA announced in early September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team proved what CSUSM women's soccer is all about.. Again, playing another game only three days later, the lady Cougars faced off in Fresno against Fresno Pacific. At first, the game was a toss up with both teams evenly matched. At the start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only goal after Fresno's keeper lost the ball during a free kick from just outside the box by Shannon Cox. Kay's goal was icing on the cake as she celebrated her birthday and kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0 start. G amel G ame4 The season kicked off with an impressive 4-0 win verses Point Park.

Photos By: Morgan Hall Kelly McLin When The CSUSM women's volleyball players hit the courts for practice in !-lunter gymnasium, the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive to push them through all o f the hard work in its inaugural season. Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic department would be adding women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach before the start o f the fall season. The young team, made up o f ten freshmen, one sophomore, and five juniors, will play all home games at the Escondido High School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus. " It is going to be a little hard to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to think that Escondido supports us enough to let us use their gym," freshman Tayler Gomez said. One player does admit that being a part o f a first-year team and juggling class work does occasionally come with some pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on campus, we really want to prove that we can represent both the student athletes and the school," sophomore Rachel Quam said. Quam also reflected that even though they are athletes, "school work comes first. We truly are students before athletes." As their season enters week four, the players are starting to settle in on campus and find their niche on the team. "We have been focusing a lot on team building, and I think we have finally meshed as a team," freshman K iki Atuatasi said. The most memorable achievements for the team have been their 25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as well as a win over the number seven ranked Lewis-Clark State. The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball team currently holds a record o f 13-5 and is set to play their first home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at 8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan.

That changed in the second half o f Monday's game at Westmont, when the Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home team and win the match 4-2. CSUSM improves to 1-3 on the year with the much-needed victory. Westmont drops to 0-4. Playing their final game at the Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking to make a statement, and did so almost immediately. Just one minute into the game, a shot by Alex Rodriguez was stopped by the Westmont keeper, but Scott Rice was able to punch in the rebound for his first .career CSUSM goal and the first goal o f the season for the Cougars. Rice was not content with one, however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai- ser served in a dangerous ball from 30 yards out, connecting with Rice who headed it past the keeper. Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark, the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that nothing thus far this s~ason has come easy. In the 22nd minute, a foul call on the edge o f the box gave Westmont a penalty kick, which was converted to make it 2-1. Westmont would tie it in the 34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a stretch o f play in which CSUSM was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind. But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting to the super-direct style o f play that served Westmont so well late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start pressuring the back line to shut down the long passes that had been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as not only did the Cougars tilt the run o f play back in their favor, they pounced on two mistakes by Westmont's inexperienced defense to score a pair o f goals. In the 61st minute, a lazy pass back to the keeper was picked off by a very alert Eric Lopez, who buried his first goal as a Cougar to put his side up 3-2. Another first-time goal scorer, Sullivan Tobin, would ice the match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and striking a wonderful shot into the comer o f the net from 25 yards out to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close the door on the team's first win. K iki Castro picked up the win in net for CSUSM, making a couple key. saves when the match was 2-2 to preserve the victory. M en's S occer w ent o n t o w in P oint L orna 2-1 a nd C al T ech 5-0.

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

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

The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 became the Pearl Harbor o f the millennia! g eneration- America watched and listened in shock as the news coverage revealed the devastation and horror. On Sept. 12,2011, the United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader group, Osama Bin Laden. Oct. 8, 2001 marked the beginning o f President Bush's "War on Terror." A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw an opportunity to serve their t ry , " I saw a need for medics," Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare, a Cal State San Marcos student veteran and kinesiology major, said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11. There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for." Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI Bill, which was revised after the 9/11 disaster to include more benefits for those who serve. Signed into law in July o f 2008, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill 2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights," according to an overview o f the bill at military.com/education. The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and are "tiered based on the number o f days served on active duty." Several revisions to this bill came into effect in August 2011. revisions include full coverage o f tuition and public schools, including gradu~ ate training. I n addition, Students may be reimbursed for national exams such as the SAT, as well as tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes include the end o f " preak pay," which means students will not receive monthly payments for housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term. The Veterans Center at CSUSM (c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer a safe and friendly environment that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare, who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people in the same way people helped him when he started at CSUSM. "We give students peace o f .mind and assist students with their paperwork," he said. The center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t() help students with their textbook needs," Amber Bouge, who also works in the Veterans Center, said.

The vast and varied ways that television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks made for extremely compelling capsules o f information that still have relevance all o f 10 years later. Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media; I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on 9/11 and airing footage o f people jumping out o f the World Trade Center buildings was beyond the responsibility o f media. The more I considered the subject, however, I uncovered a different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common among those who e xpress an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e many sought to criticize the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage o f the day's events, others understood the i ntent p ortreal- importance within a free society. This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset to the American public. Should the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state o f public order or government secrecy, the concept o f freedom would cease to exist as fast as true journalism would. Media, as a service to the public, preserves transparency so it may preserve freedom. All media outlets, from the largest metropolitan newspaper to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years that I have been with The Pride, I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with covering events that happen on campus. True journalism seeks the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically. Journalists often feel confused or threatened by the concept of revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the business o f reporting truth must do just that. As the editor of the Opinion section, I encourage the students, staff, faculty and community to report truths by writing Letters to the Editor ad- readers deem important and worthy o f exploration.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You Word(s) 40-Watt \ will laugh and cry, and laugh some more with this great movie. 2. Knocked Up! Not as much of a guy movie .as. "Superbad". yet not as much of a girl movie as "27 Dresses." "Knocked Up!" is a hilarious comedy that will have you laughing for quite some time. 3. Kung Fu Panda "Kung Fu Panda" is a quirky animated comedy about the unexpected hero that will make you cheer for him throughout the movie. You are never too old to watch this movie. 4 .1 Am Legend Will Smith hardly disappoints his audience and "I am Legend" is not an exception. "I Am Legend" has the scary and suspense elements that both of you will love. 5. Dark Knight If you have not seen "The Dark Knight" yet you are definitely missing out. It might be long movie to sit through but it will not disappoint you. The suspense will keep you at the edge of your seat and did I mention there is a love story within the main plot?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Instead he took the high road and paved his own way.

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

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

"I would definitely recommend Forever 21 for they have a broad choice of clothes, and then newest trends and it's very affordable," CSUSM student, Ronja Skauge, said. Being able to afford the latest trends for a fair price can be quite rewarding and CSUSM students need access to apparel outlets where they don't have to spend too much of their income.

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

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

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

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

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

Overall it's all positive." Andersson discloses his most memorable moment came during the final game of his 2014 season. "It was really bittersweet, but in the fourth quarter we had the greatest comeback that I've seen or been a part of," Andersson said. "That personified the whole team of that year because everybody was really dedicated and hard working. Everybody really had each other's back, so even though we ended up losing the game in overtime; that was a feat that I 'm not going to forget in a long time." It is interesting to note that Andersson's first sport was Patchen enhances skills not basketball even though his father was a part of Sweden's first basketball league. He started off playing sports like ice hockey and soccer. And when he tells you why he switched from ice hockey to basketball, there was a logical reason behind it. "I never really started playing basketball and he [his father] was not trying to push me to play basketball," said Andersson. "I played hockey until I was 15. I was more talented in basketball than I was in hockey and basketball was a better experience to be around as a team with players and friends. I think that was a big factor for me." The time is near for Andersson to take the next steps in his life, a task that many are quite nervous about. That doesn't seem to be the case for him, however. "I definitely feel prepared in the way that Cal State [San Marcos] has prepared me as much as it should for my next step," Andersson said. "Since I am a Psychology major, most Psychology majors do go on to get their masters or PhD, so it's definitely not like I've reached the goal of my academic career so far. Cal State has helped me to be where I want to be at this point, but I still have some ways to go." Photo courtesy of Matt Berson Well, there you have it. Jacob Andersson, the former ice hockey player and future psychologist says he is prepared for what is next. His favorite memory may not have been a winning effort, but it sure can be something that will remind him of the bumpy roads and show him how far he's come. Best of wishes to you Andersson. Q&A with hurdler Damon Moore B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS E DITOR Photo cùuttesy of Matt Berson BYAMYGHASTAIN A SSISTANT S PORTS E DITOR With a plan for the future in place, CSUSM baseball player Ray Patchen spoke to The Cougar Chronicle about college and his vision for life after graduation. Patchen gave a token of advice tofellowstudentsathletes who have yet to graduate. "Enhance your time management s kills" he said. "You can't play a sport forever, at some point you're going to have to graduate and go on in professional life." Looking back on life as a studentathlete, Patchen highlighted two accomplishments he is particularly satisfied with. "I am really proud of my hit streak that I got earlier this year, a 24game hit streak," he said. "Also every semester I've been in school since I was a freshman in high school, I 've had over a 3.0 GPA." After college, Patchen hopes that baseball will continue to be apart ofhis life .As a Communication ma- jor, he wants "to one day use that [degree] to become a professional major league [ MLB] umpire " Not only does he hope to pursue a career as an umpire, but Patchen also has his eyes set on management training positions. The five week " MLB accredited umpire school starts in January out in Florida" said Patchen. He intends on going through the course in hopes of being a M LB umpire. Patchen, an infielder for the Cougars is the only baseball player graduating this year. In his time at CSUSM, Patchen has left his mark not only on the baseball field but also in academics. He is only the second baseball player in program history to receive the Capital One/CoSida Academic All District Team honors. This award is given to players for exemplary performance both in the classroom and on the field. Patchen's success at Cal State San Marcos could be an indicator of things to come.

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

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

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

Silvas plans to complete prerequisite classes, take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and apply to nursing school. "Eventually, my plan is to become a pediatric nurse practitioner," said Silvas. "Also, I plan on interning in a hospital to get more experience in the field as well as continue research that I have been working on at CSUSM." While attending CSUSM, Silvas became involved in surf research, participating in three studies and having the opportunity to present the first at the Southwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference (SWACSM) in Costa Mesa in October 2014. She will be presenting again at the end of May at the American College of Sports Medicine's 62nd Annual Meeting at the. San Diego Convention Center. "I never thought I would have such an incredible opportunity to get involved in research and present a study at conferences like these, but I have definitely grown a lot from these experiences," said Silvas. Silvas never thought she would become involved in school or student organizations until she realized how much she enjoyed the Kinesiology Club and the individuals within it.

"I will definitely miss coming here every day, but I am excited to see it continue to grow in the future." Vivian Nguyen is a dynamic student leader at CSUSM who is grateful for the experiences and opportunities she has had throughout her college career. In her fifth year here on campus, Nguyen is all set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in May. She is currently the Outreach and Communications Specialist for the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), and has also been involved in other organizations such as Orientation Team (O Team) and Alpha Omicron Pi. Through her involvement in these organizations, Nguyen said that she has been transformed and has been given the opportunity to grow through these experiences. "I wasn't involved at all in high school, besides marching band my freshman year. In college, I ended up applying to OTeam on a mere whim, and it helped me grow so much as a person and eventually made me realize that I could in fact be a leader some day," she said. "One of my best friends from OTeam, Dominica Ranieri, pushed me to apply for USUAB , which really became the heart of my transformation on campus... [and] Alpha Omicron Pi showed me the importance of sisterhood, and gave me a hundred sisters when I had no siblings in my family life at home." When asked about the impact she has made at CSUSM, Nguyen humbly responded by saying that she hopes she has been able to influence at least some of her peers during her time as an undergraduate.

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

Athletes were generating huge amounts of revenue for their schools and they were compensated with scholarships. Fair enough, I thought, except that when I spoke to a few athletes I discovered that it was anything but fair. Athletes are forced to adhere to very professional schedules of practice and play. That means they cannot always take the classes they want because these may interfere with practice, for example. What? A studentathlete, who makes money for the school, which professionalizes their sport, cannot take the classes they want? How is that fair? The more I looked, the worse it got. Studentathletes are completely under the control of the NCAA, and they have no recourse but to sue to get theirrights.Recently, it was discovered that many of the more famous ones were having their likenesses used by sports companies to sell jerseys and other paraphernalia. No compensation was offered to them, of course, because they are not employees, but studentathletes, a designation that allows the schools to profit from their work.

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

"Every time I thought of college, I thought it meant a lot of schoolwork and getting involved in a sorority and that is it," she said.

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

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

As the semester comes to an end, Alcid is doing nothing more but anticipating her approaching graduation that she has waited four years. She s ays," I feel nervous of course, but in reality, I am brimming with anticipating and adrenaline. This will be a beginning of a new chapter of my life." Studying Psychology, Alcid explains that she did more than just study and get good grades. She found it important to be as active in every school activity and function as she could. "Over the course of four years on campus, I have been a part of the Civility Campaign, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Sigma Alpha, Order of Omega, Psychology Student Organization, Psi Chi International Honor Society, Golden Key International Honor Society, SLL Peer Mentoring Program, ASI Board of Directors, Active Minds, Kamalayan Alliance, LGBTQA Club, and Circle K International," Alcid j L ß r j TT Q T f ^ ¥ A M I V I U k j - JL JL x m C D Ji said as she laughs at her long list of credentials.

It wasn't until I was in middle school that I decided to get involved in choir. As an artist, I do have my doubts about what it means to be a singer sometimes. I love singing as a hobby and occasional performances because I love the music family that gets created in any ensemble I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.

C C: What do you have in plan for your postgraduate future? HG: I love music, I love singing; it's my escape from reality, my Zen; however through my minors in Video Production and Women's Studies I have discovered something empowering. The power of media and how that affects our society. In high school, I always struggled with my body image, it wasn't until I took my first Women's Studies class that I felt empowered to not feel ashamed for not fitting the beauty standards society has structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to school next year to get my Masters in Fine Arts and a PhD in Gender or Women's Studies, so that I can focus on creating videos of some kind to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is my passion, but children are our future. So I say why not go back to school? Why not make a difference? Why not?

" ^ 1 ' - * ~ gjH mmà s tart h ere a s a f reshman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? MD: I was a Biology major as a freshman. There were various events that drove me to pursue a form of art over science. At the end of my senior year of high school, my father developed kidney failure and consequently was unable to work. In effect, we were left without a home. For a year we lived with family who helped us get back on our feet. I started college and was working part time. Two years into college I was frustrated and exhausted, both emotionally, physically and spiritually. My father was trying to adjust to a new lifestyle as much as we were as a family and this took a great toll on me. I was so focused on helping my family and providing that I forgot how to take care of sic this school has to offer. mm § a ®ü. W hat do you have in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? MD: I plan to apply for grad school to study ethnomusicology and teach in the near future. Photo courtesy of Mariela Dieguez Dieguez will perform 7 p.m. May 9 at Arts 111 myself. I was growing up too fast too quickly. There came a breaking point where my depression could not be contained. Besides it being a physical feeling of tiredness and exhaustion, I felt I was missing a basic emotion: happiness. Nothing made me happy. In examining my life up to that point, I reevalu- ated who I was, what I loved and how I wanted to live_. I soon realized I was always in choir even at my most desperate time and that's when I knew, I should just give it a try. What do I have to lose? I thought to myself, and I have not looked back at that choice. I am and will always be a student.

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