ELECTIONS Committee sets parameters L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With Cal State San Marcos' first Associated Students elections underway April 22 and 23, the A.S. Elections Committee, last Thursday, set parameters for items of protocol not outlined in the A.S. Constitution. Among the guidelines established by the committee, were the criteria for what constitutes a determining majority and rules governing campaign ethics. In order for a candidate to be elected as president of the A.S., 50 percent of the votes cast plus one vote must be received in favor of that candidate. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that a simple majority would insure that students elect the most qualified candidate possible. Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid and a member of the council, pointed out that simply having the highest percentage of the popular vote does not necessarily insure the best representation. With f our candidates running for the presidential position, the probability of one person garnering more than SO percent of the vote is low, the committee reasoned. In order to help students decide which candidate to choose, an open forum has been set for April 18. The forum will be held at noon in the Student Lounge. At the event candidates will give a brief statements of their platforms and address questions from the voters. Since more than one representative for each college will be chosen by the electorate, the candidates with the highest percentage of the vote will fill the available seats. Also on next week's ballot is a proposition to ratify the Associated Students Constitution that was drafted by the Student Governance Task Force on March 16.

Barry Munitz named chancellor amid CSU budgetary crisis time LONG BEACH - State trustees named Barry Munitz chancellor of the California State University system, April 4, with the hopes that his educational and business experience could guide the 20-campus system through its worstfinancialtimes ever. Munitz, 4 9, was chosen by a "strong majority" of the 19-member board over two other finalists. The three top candidates* were selected from more than 700 applicants from throughout the nation. "There is probably no one better equipped to help us through these difficult budget times than Dr. Munitz," said CSU Trustee J. Garry Shansby. "With his private and public record of service, we believe he will do a terrific j ob leading the CSU." Munitz served as chief operating officer of Federated Development since 1982. Also serving as vice chair of Federated*s P arent c ompany, Maxxam (which owns Pacific Lumber Co.), Munitz was the most controversial of the finalists. Santa Monica Assemblyman Tom Hayden branded Munitz as "insensitive to environmental issues" based on his a ffiliation with Maxxam. However Board of Trustees Chair William Campbell said such claims arenotconsistentwithMunitz'sbackground. Munitz served as chancellor of the University of Houston's main campus from 1977 to 1982. Prior to that time, he was vice president for academic development at the University of Illinois and a staff associate with the Carnegie Foundation Commission on Higher Education. On Aug. 1, Munitz will succeed a cting CSU c hancellor E llis E . McCune, who stepped into the position when W. Ann Reynolds resigned a midst c ontroversy. P roponents claimed Reynolds secretly granted large pay raises to herself and top administrators. Munitz* s selection comes on the heels of massive budget cuts by California G overnor P ete W ilson. Wilson'sproposed budget would trim $600 million from the requested $2 billion CSU operating budget. The failure of the the $450 million Proposition 143 in November further compounds budgetary woes facing Munitz. The proposition would have added revenues to construction and renovation of CSU campuses. Trustees sought a strong leader to help steer the system through financial difficulties and help restore the public confidence that was lost in the Reynolds scandal. Even though many of the problems facing the system seem insurmountable, Munitz said he believes the CSU can become a model for other undergraduate systems. He said that he has a strong belief that the CSU may be the single best place in the country to establish that undergraduate teaching is equal in value to graduate education. Munitz also favors decentralization of the system, a reversal of the trend established during the Reynolds administration. Munitz is in favor of strengthening the individuality ofeach CSU school rather than lessening i t When assuming his new post, Munitz will take a pay cut of $225,00 from his presidential position with Federated. His salary will drop from $400,000 year to $175,000 per year. Space summer camp program seeks alliance with university M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER Junior high schoolers may beblasting-off to future careers in space if an initial proposal to site a camp at Cal State San Marcos gets off the ground. Balboa Park's International Aerospace Museum is looking for land to permanently house up to two space exploration camps in San Diego County. "We do not have a permanent site as of yet," says Geoige Leisz, Chair of the Aerocenter Committee, the organization responsible for establishing the space camp. "Dr. Stacy (president of CSUSM) contacted me about the program/'said Leisz about the campus being a possible home for one of the camps. In addition to talks with Stacy about leasing land, the museum is undergoing talks with the City of San Diego to possibly house a camp at Brown's Field, a light-aircaft airport located near Tijuana International Airport Stacy said the University Council has not committed to the project, but indicated CSUSM is interested in the idea. "There's been nothing concrete asked as of yet," he said. Leisz said the one-year-old program is modeled after Spacecamp, which is located in Alabama. Currently, the camp is at the University of San Diego, with additional academic support comingfrom San Diego State and the University of California at San Diego. According to Leisz the idea of a space exploration camp is very popular with seventh- and eighth-graders, to the point of overflowing. He said that one of the reasons why the museum initiated the program locally last year was because a number of the participants of the Alabama program live in California; more importantly, however, is the "promotion of excellence in math and science." This promotion in math and science is, "One of the focuses Dr. Stacy has for a greater organization in math and the sciences," said Leisz; Stacy said if the space camp does find a home at CSUSM, it could strengthen the curriculum in both mathematics and science. " We'dbe creating an environment that is great for math and science," he said. Currently, the aerospace organiza- tion controls the curriculum of the camp that includes a number of advisors; among these advisors is former Space Shuttle astronaut Sally Ride. "There has not been any talk about the university being involved with forming the curriculum," said Leisz. "He (Stacy) has not expressed any desire to involve the university in the curriculum." In addition to the land lease, the aerospace group would also like to rent out, "in a no-conflict situation," the campus' facilities. Leisz said monies and equipment have been donated by a number of aerospace related firms that includes Convair andRyan; nofinancialsupport is being asked of CSUSM by Leisz' committee. According to Stacy, a campus environment is conducive to the needs of a summer camp for children. Because the university will have athletic facilities, the need for one to be built from scratch to accommodate campers will be eliminated. Eventually Leisz hopes the camp will be offered on a year-round basis rath»* than exclusively during the summer. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY,APRIL 16, 1 9 91 NW ES Newest contraceptive has good, bad points E lection B allot By now you may have heard about Cal State San Marcos' first student election ballot has one proposition, three fee measures, a president new implanted form of birth control a and 12 representative seats to vote on.

JOEL SRINOLDS The most significant adverse side effect is irregular, increased, decreased orprolonged menstruation, especially during the first year. In one study about 66 percent of women had irregular periods during the first year which decreased to 33 percent during the f ifth year. Other side effects that are similar to oral contraceptives also occur with Norplant There can also be adverse effects as a result of theprocedure and local reactions to the implants; however, these are minimal. As with many of the nation's major family planning agencies, I feel the major problem with Norplant is cost. The Norplant System will cost $350 and $ 100 to $200 f or the procedure. T he manufacturer is spending millions in promoting this method as well as training professionals in the use of this technology and the methods of implantation.

'Romantic Correctness needed At a recent happy-hour function with some of Cal State San Marcos' finest, a Mend ofmine told me her boyfriend was a jerk. "What are you still doing with him?" I asked. She didn't know» and acted embarrassed. In a different setting, another friend sought my advice in a dating matter. He was wondering if a "minor deception" was allowable in his current relationship: he dated a second girl on the sly. Finally, in a mixed group, several men guffawed when someone announced that he would not return a phone message for at least several days. He said he was avenging the woman who called because she took two weeks to telephone him. "That is so stupid," said the only lady present "Jerks never call back." Had enough? Something very sad happened between the 50s era of genderrigidity,and our current mess of mixed signals, double standards, unspoken understandings, meaningless rules, and mutual disdain. The peaceful co-existence nearly forged in the 70s crumpled in the 80s. The 90s has welcomed a new battle of the sexes. Many women think that men are jerks, and the darker male descriptions for women are unprintable. I t's time to set down the stuff of Romantic Correctness. This discussion will not entirely please either gender, but the standard of negotiation ismeaningfulcompromise.Furthermore, I readily confess that my perspective is male skewed. I encourage differing parties to write to Pioneer, Firstly, the notion of instant gender equality must be abandoned. While gaining overdue equal-pay-for-equal-work protection, the aggregate income of women still trails men at all P A V P HAMMOND PIONEER COLUMNIST levels of class. This lag in societal evolution inhibits a significant, and vital, change in dating relations: who pays. Until women are satisfied that their earned income i s truly equal, men will gain no ground in their efforts to shift a fair half of the financing burdens of dating. It is Romantically Correct, then, for a man to pay for dates. In turn, women must strengthen their will against accepting dates for purely selfish reasons. Sincere interest and genuine attraction are the only Romantically Correct motivations for accepting offers. Nothing but more resentment results when a man invests his money and time, only to discover that he was being used to " fill" a vacant Friday night. The excuse that "he asked" is subscribing to the notion that a fool should be taken for his money. Secondly, romantic involvement almost always begins with a man approaching a woman. This historical hangover of cultural tradition is still a tense situation; time has not made potential rejection any more palatable. Worse still, neither party wants to appear to be doing what they are doing, so the man makes his interest sound remote, while the woman hesitates to accept an immediate o ffer, thereby appearing indifferent Both parties assume the A proposal has been made at Palomar to completely abolish student government at the 25,000-student community college. The student proponent says that apathy is so high, that few would even realize the absence of a governing body. Last year, at Stanford University, students elected Bart Simpson as president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as representatives. The reason, cited many, was the lack of acceptable candidates. OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL Next Monday and Tuesday, the over 630 students at Cal State San Marcos have the opportunity to vote on a new government. What Stanford and Palomar have forgotten is that which CSUSM students know too well— without an Associated Students, finding representation and airing grievances is quite difficult.

A T HOUGHT; "The President must use whatever power the Constitution does not expressly deny him." HARRY S TRUMAN It is ironic that CSUSM's greatest asset has become one its biggest sources of controversy. Certainly the 2,500-word across-the-curriculum writing requirement is at times cumbersome and stressful, but the extra effort required for its fulfillment is an insurance policy for excellence. The requirement is reflective of a new university's grand dreams and idealisms. Writing on a subject requires deeper cognitive thinking than does the process of memorization-regurgitation. Perhaps the greatest problem facing education today is that many graduates find difficulty communicating what was learned in college. When a research or critical paper is written, the student author becomes an expert on a subject that was previously an alien entity. The teacher, for at least the length of the paper, is momentarily transformed into a student who explores, in detail, an area in which he/she may be relatively unfamiliar. Hence, the required term paper becomes the matchmaker for an educationally symbiotic relationship between professor and pupil. In no Cal State University can such a relationship be found except at CSUSM. To obtain such a personal educational experience, one would have to pay tremendous sums at private institutions. Some individuals feel that a writing requirement for such subjects as mathematics or business is not necessary. To illustrate why it is important, let's examine one stereotypical fictional character. Joe Geometry is a math major at a California State university south of San Marcos. Apart from the fact that Joe is of similar species to LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF those around him, he doesn't seem to fit in well with crowds. Even though he is a whiz with a slide-rule and always has a charged calculator in his hip pocket, he has trouble communicating his lifelong passion (mathematics) to others. Day after day, the hapless Joe memorizes, with uncanny ability, those equations of Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus that are sure to land him a high-paying j ob with Hewlett-Packard someday. But, when Joe leaves the university, he is in for an uncalculated s urprise... the personal j ob interview! Expecting to be quizzed on his knowledge of mathematical formulas, Joe is thrown off by the personal questions of his hopeful employer-tobe. He is speechless with regard to other subjects that interest him. He finds that he cannot even explain what inspired such mathematical geniuses as Pythagoras and Isaac Newton to develop their sacred theories. The moral of this fable is that rote memorization is not a practical tool for building foundations of social communication. A gorilla can be taught to add two and two, but only a human can communicate the process by which the answer was arrived. If our education should be any- thing, it should be of practical use in the outside world. If Joe had only taken the time to research, study and write about what inspired his idols, then he might have been able to communicate what he had learned to his interviewer. As he stands now, Joe can easily be. replaced with a cheap desktop computer and about $1,000 in software. The greatest problem with the writing requirement at CSUSM is the exponentially increased sizes of some general education courses. Last semester, with class sizes averaging around 20, instructors could more pensively read and respond to student papers. But with some classes holding 60 students this semester, instructors are forced to read as many as 150,000 student-written words. Obviously, with such a load, many instructors will go blind and bald long before retirement permits. By staggering papers throughout the class, some instructors can ease their burdens slightly. For instance, one-half of the class could be required to turn in papers early while the other half waits until the second half of the semester. The university could also help out by offering more class sections, thereby reducing class populations. Unfortunately, such apian requires more instructors, which requires more money, which the university has trouble obtaining during current budgetary duress. It is natural and expected for students to quibble over extensive writing assignments, but the university's goal of excellence should not be compromised by those who see the requirement as a bother rather than a passport to understanding. VP search not reflective of college's goals As a member of the first graduating class of CSU, San Marcos, I expect nothing less than the very same high standards of moral character and decency when looking for an Academic Vice President that CSUSM expects of me as a student I believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to each and every student that attends this university to be consistent with the philosophy behind the requirements that are asked of lis. I also believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to be consistent with the Mission Statement which states that "CSU, San Marcos endorses an international perspective that addresses the global community in its distinctive social, political and economic terms. This multicultural outlook is reflected in our curriculum, extracurricular activities, international exchanges and special programs that focus on world issues and problems." I now challenge the committee to assume that very safrie "multicultural outlook" when searching for an Academic Vice President In order to graduate from this university, I am expected to take 15 units in Global Aware- YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM ness and another three units in Race, Class and Gender. The classes I have taken thus far have succeeded tremendously in culturally enriching my life. CSUSM has taught me to believe that I, as a woman, have the capacity to achieve and to make Changes. It has taught me and my friends of color that they are not inherently incapable but for decades have been historically raped and repressed. I now demand to the AVP Search Committee, "practice what you preach." Give me a new list of candidates that reflects cooperation "in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity." When I look at the top three positions overseeing this university and my education, I want to see the very same "race, gender and cultural diversity" with which I am expected to learn, respect and live. I demand consistency throughout the system — from the top down. Hence, it is my suggestion that the AVP Search Committee return to its non-traditional drawing board, take a non-traditional look into the "person" rather than simply stats on paper, and return with a non-traditional list of candidates that is truly representative of the "enlightened individuals" that represent the goals set forth by CSU, San Marcos.

The American Indian Cultural Fair, an annual event sponsored b Cal y State San Marcos and San Diego State North County, featured Indian dancers, storytellers, a face painter, arts and crafts, and foods reflecting our Native American heritage.

PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1991 �Reservations reflect varied Indian tribes K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER As early as 40,000 years before Christ, the lands around San Marcos were already home to American Indians. Until 1540 A.D., when the exploration by the Spanish began, the Indians enjoyed free dominion over the North San Diego area. Aztec-Tanoan was the basic Indian language of the ancient tribes. Dialects formed, and today's North County Indians speak three distinctive languages: Cahuilla, Luisefio and Cupeno. These Indians dwell principally in nine reservations. Most of the reservations are in the remote foothills around Palomar Mountain. The Cahuilla Indians, also known as the Los Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, have a tribal reservation of 25,049 acres in the Warner Springs area. The reservation was established by Executive Order in 1889. Los Coyotes, the county's largest reservation, is not far away from the smallest North County Reservation, Mesa Grande. The 120-acre reservation is set among large cattle ranches between Mission Santa Ysabel and Lake Henshaw. Mission Santa Ysabel, once a satellite to Mission San Diego, still serves the Cupeflo Indian community. The old adobe mission with its small museum and old graveyard is located on the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation off Hwy. 78. In 1893, the land around Santa Ysabel Mission was allocated to the Cupefio Indians. Additional acreage L ARRY BOISJOLIE/HONEER was added in 1926.

The dancers wore traditional Indian garb during their performances. Sacred dances were included in the repertois. Elder tells more than just nature stories legends of the elders. Even a stick or a leaf on the ground can have a message for anyone willing to listen to it. He says the ability to communicate with nature is something that all persons can possess. "You'll find, in all Native Americans, the ability to identify with the trees in songs legends and council," Rodriguez cites as an example. His stories are rich in humor and wisdom and convey moral messages about the natural world surrounding all living things. "They have humorous parts to them," says Rodriguez "but, in the beginning, they were serious. Humor developed in them." Storytelling in Rodriguez's Luisefio tribe is not a formal event. He says some stories were conveyed to him during regular, everyday events by the elders. "In my tribe the education comes from the elders and not the parents," Rodriguez says.

The land is composed of valley floor and steep mountain hillsides. West of Pauma Valley on Hwy. 76 is the Pala Reservation. In the center of the reservation is the famous San Antonio de Pala Mission. Pala Reservation covers 7,722 acres of fertile river-bottom land and rolling hills. I n the early 1900s, white ranchers forcibly removed Indians from their Warner Springs homes and repatriated them to Pala Reservation. They were warned never to return. The result is a mixed heritage of Luisefio and Cupefio Indians on the Pala Reservation. North of Pala, near the San Diego-Riverside County line, is the 4,097-acre Pechanga Reservation. This remote Luisefio Indian reservation was established in 1882 for the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians. .TOTAL DUE .Money Order A reservation statement will be scot prior to the end of the spring 1991 semester.

At Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, Rodriguez told a story about a sandpiper he saw on the sand while walking with his mother. As he was about to thrust a rock at the bird, his mother stopped him. According to legend, the sandpiper was scurrying around frantically to see, for one last time, the body of a great grandparent who was awaiting cremation. The animal ran around looking for the elder, but never found him. As he was about to throw a second rock at the sandpiper, he hesitated. For a moment he was affixed by the animal's stare. "For one brief moment," recounts Rodriguez, "the bird held your life in his hand. The bird gives us another chance at life." Rodriguez says that the bird had a message for him, just as all things in nature have a message for all people. When he was a child, his grandfather gave him the Indian name Hewalee, which stands for one who is aggressive or goalsetting. Rodriguez says that he has always tried to live up to that name. He feels, however, that the new generations of storytellers d on't try to live up to tradition as the older generations do. "Their stories are losing some of the tradition," he says. "They are not as sophisticated." Rodriguez says the tradition is stronger among the larger tribes than the smaller ones. As a whole, the nations of Indians are growing, he indicates. Rodriguez has been instrumental in starting American Indian Studies Programs at colleges throughout California. He points out that some institutions, like Palomar College, readily accepted the program, while others, like San Diego State University, took more time. He says the best story he can tell is about a pony-tailed man in Kansas City who gave advice to Indians about how best to survive in the United States. "He told us the first thing is to get an education," Rodriguez says. "Next, learn the system and learn it well; do your homework and keep your mouth shut when you have to. From then on I learned the system and did my homework." J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Kazem Sangabi (left) paints a feathery design on the face of 11-year-old Matthew Evans during Sunday's fair.

For Kazem Sangabi, however, painting 30 snails isn't unusual, but he prefers to use his artistic talents painting faces. That's just what he was doing at last Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County. Sangabi, 34, doesn't limit his subjects, but prefers the children at the Festival. " It's good to work with the kids," he said. " I talk with them and tell them jokes." By the time Sangabi gets a few jokes out and gets his young customer familiar with the wet paint brush running across their cheeks, he is finished. Faster than a snail's pace, he paints anything from flowers to dragons on the faces of his customers. "The flamingo and the scorpion are my favorite," he said, "but I like the eye designs the best. They have a feathery look." Even though he has a display of his perfected design for people to choose from, he does have other favorites. "Don't forget I do the Ninja Turtles too," he tells the people looking at his selections. "I do the turtles because you have to go with the fashions," he said. "I can do Bart Simpson but I don't tell anyone. I don't like that guy. H e's ugly and when I finish, he looks uglier." At the festival, Sangabi painted all ages, even a 5-month-old girl. " I've painted from 4 months to 93 years-old." Sangabi doesn't stop there. " I've painted a chimpanzee and a dog. I 've even did a face painting for Prince. "I worked with a fashion show and did some body painting for them." Sangabi said that arm paintings, looking like a tattoo, are more common than the facial art. Sangabi got started with stage make-up while learning at the University of Texas. After traveling for a while, he relocated to San Diego where he works as a freelance commercial producer. "Face painting wasn't supposed to be a j ob," he said. "But now it is." His video business and his paintings of all forms of creatures now supports him.

Watching fcearthrise' front within the geodesic dome of the Space Theater's cinema evokes more than wonder and awe; at times it almost approaches visual overload. Much of the footage was taken aboard the Space Shuttle by the astronauts themselves and then enhanced by computer. The giant Omnimax screen magnifies this experience by surrounding you with sensation. In a series of breakaway vignettes, the film explores the vital forces of nature and its impact on the environment. As the Earth passes beneath us, we move from the fiery inner craters of erupting volcanos into violent electrical storms and tropical hurricanes. A computer-simulated flight through the San Andreas Fault made more than a few in the audience hold tight t o their seat arms. It feels like riding on a rocket. After exploring the more sensational interactions of nature on the surface o f the Earth, the film touches upon the more insidious impact from the growing human population.

O PINION/PAGE11 Paper vaulted to top t hree position in s tate SACRAMENTO - It was a weekend for underdogs when Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper, Pioneer, grabbed seven awards last weekend at the California InterCollegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. The event marks the first time a delegation . of students from CSUSM has won awards in inter-collegiate competition. "We were stunned," said Pioneer Editorin-Chief Larry Boisjolie. "We really didn't expect to do that well." CIPA S tudent President TrishaReader said Pioneer's performance vaults the newspaper into one of the toplhree university weeklies in the state. Reader said over 2,000 entries were received from the various college publications in California. Boisjolie was one of five CSUSM delegates to attend the conference which hosted 23 universities, about 300 students from California and Nevada. Competitions and seminars were held for the print media, radio and television broadcasters. Competitions at the conference were divided into two categories. For the mail-in category, ubmissions were mailed in to CIPA three months before the conference f orjudging by experts in the field. Each newspaper was allowed two entries for each category, which gauged both written and artistic aspects of college newspapers. "Since we only had eight issues at the time KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Pioneer co-founders, Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, anxiously await the announcement of awards during the California Inter-Collegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. of submission, we felt our chances were pretty slim of finding enough good material to compete with schools that have published all year," said Boisjolie. "We were also under the impression that only one entry per category could be submitted so we only sent in half of what the other colleges did." Pioneer picked up first place for best opinion section in the mail-in competition. Jonathan Young, co-founder of the newspaper, placed first in the overall design category and second in front page design. Boisjolie won second in the investigative news and editorial categories. The other category of competition is onthe-spot writing and designing. Participants are given a limited amount of time to write a story, edit copy, take photographs or design a front page. In the on-the-spot competitions, Young was awarded first place in page design while Debbie Duffy picked up a third place award for entertainment writing. Duffy was given one hour to write a critical review on an art gallery. Staff members Kathy Sullivan and Elaine Whaley also attended the conference. At the close of the conference, CSUSM was asked by Reader to host the statewide conference next year. CSUSM President Bill Stacy expressed interest in the proposal, however, Boisjolie said that the main factor deciding whether or not CSUSM will host the conference is finding space to accommodate the event's attenders. ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE Children may not see the hidden jokes in the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows, but Pioneer columnist Sheila Cosgrove shows how adults can enjoy the subtle sharp edges of the old classic.

College seeks candidates for first student council Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force is now looking for candidates wishing to form the university's first Associated Student Council. Ernest Zomalt, Dean of Student Services, said the council will comprised of a President, two representatives from each College, four undergraduates at-large and two post-baccalaureates at-large. These positions will form a representative model of government, established by the Task Force's AS Constitution. "We have an interesting government model," said Z omalt "It allows for one elected leader: President." The President's powers include being senior representative of the AS, presiding over AS Council meetings and recommending the appointment of all students to AS and university committees. The President does not vote, except to break a tie. The AS Council is charged with setting policies and procedures for the AS and obtaining and disseminating information which affects the AS and its members. Representatives from the specific colleges will be easier to obtain," he said. "The at-large students will be a little bit of a challenge." Elections Committee forming While seeking candidates to establish the first Associated Council at Cal State San Marcos, Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt and the Student Governance Task Force are also establishing an Elections Committee. This group will set standards for campaigning, hold candidate forums, organize the election and be accountable for the tabulating the results. Zomalt also explained the committee will work with the three fee measures for the election. They will read the measures and make sure they are understandable. The Elections Committee will also tabulate the results of the Student Government Elections April 22-23. They will then forward to results to CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Once confirmed, the AS Council will take office the first Monday in June and establish CSUSM's first student government. Any student interested serving on this council should contact the Student Services office. According to Zomalt, the AS C onstitution's r equirements f or CSUSM'selected officers specify that a candidate be a "Member of the associated students and in good academic standing at the time of election and during tenure in office." Candidates can receive information regarding candidacy from the Student Services Office. Once candidates are acknowledged, Zomalt said the university will hold a candidate's forum before the elections on April 22-23. Originally scheduled for April 15-16, the elections have been postponed one week. SEE VOTE/PAGE 4 H ewlett-Packard f irst t o c ommit t o Senior Business P artners Program Hewlett-Packard has committed to become the first Senior Business Partner for CSU, San Marcos' new business outreach program. "The College of B usiness Administration is delighted to announce the decision of Hewlett-Packard to become our first Senior Business Partner," said Dean Bernard Hinton. "It is a great vote of confidence for our new Business Partners Program to see the community respond in the way that Hewlett-Packard has." The Senior Business Partners are the most advanced level of the fourlevel Business Partners Program recently introduced by the College of Business Administration. The program was design to forge a strong link between the university and the business community and to offer both individuals and organizations the opportunity to have a substantial impact upon the education of tomorrow's business leaders. "By stepping forward as the first participant in this program," Hinton said, "Hewlett-Packard has made a strong statement about their support for our efforts to provide a relevant educational experience for our students. "Their commitment, in becoming our partner in the educational process, not only encourages us, but also encourages other individuals and businesses to become involved as well." Hinton also announced that Larry Brown, General Manager of H P's San Diego Color Imaging Division, has been invited to become the first member of the College of Business Administration's Dean's Advisory Council. "Hewlett-Packard is pleased to support the CSU San Marcos Business Partners Program," Brown said. "In keeping with our corporate citizen objective, HP encourages its operations and employees to contribute their time, talent and financial support to organizations that benefit the communities win which we operate. We look forward to a productive partnership with CSUSM." "We look forward with great expectations to a very close working relationship with companies such as Hewlett-Packard and are delighted at their sense of corporate responsibility and willingness to work with us in accomplishing the mission of the college," Hinton said. The Business Mentors Program, which assigns each student in the College to a personal business mentor, in only one of the programs in the Business Partners Program. Other portions of the Business Partners Program include programs designed f or individual businessmen, small companies, and corporations. The university has indicated that it is prepared to send materials to anyone in the business community that is interested in learning more about the programs. �Exercising important for healthy diet plan What Tommy LaSorta and the makers of Slim-Fast, among many other makers of weight control products, forget to tell you in their ads is that you have to exercise to achieve safe and lasting weight loss. With a restrictive diet alone, rapid weight loss may occur in the early stages as the body's glucose (sugar) stores are depleted and some water is lost. After that, a safe diet will cause only gradual weight loss - up to about a pound a week - and it comes at the cost of substantial calorie restriction.

Again, the weight loss is slow because it takes significant exercise to lose weight. With the combination of diet and exercise, you can be moderate in both and safely lose from one-and-a-half to two pounds per week.

Exercise improves your body composition (the relative amounts of f at and lean tissue) more than the weight toss alone would indicate. The same exercise that is recommended for cardiovascular fitness will benefit your efforts at weight loss. This is moderate aerobic exercise for 30 minutes (maybe in 10 minute blocks) at least three times per week.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN MARCOS �6 PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 NEWS I W E ART T HE CSUSM spurs largest development plan J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER any students attending the other 19 Cal State University campuses haven't heard of the new addition to their academic system. Even some local students and residents in San Marcos don't know of the new university here. But for the people who work for the city, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth. The university has spurred a project entitled, 'Heart of the City,' an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the future college campus. "Thegenesisofthisprojectevolved before the CSU Trustees chose San Marcos," said Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager. "The city made a conscious decision to go after Cal State San Marcos." Malone explained the city's strong desire to house the future educational institution, competing with neighboring Carlsbad for the state's attention. "We put together a package deal that the state couldn' t refuse," Malone said. The main anchor of the project came with the city's agreement to allow CSU officials to get directly involved with the design and organization of the p roject "The state had a huge say on land choices," Malone said. He said the site Carlsbad was offering was in a valley, an area hard to develop. San Marcos, in comparison, offered a large, open, fertile piece of land. CSU chose the Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham Drive site, just off Highway 78, to corner the university. The site has freeway visibility, is centrally located in North County so San Diego and Orange County/Riverside residents have easy access along with local students, and is in the geographic center of San Marcos and North San Diego County. "San Marcos doesn't have a downtown," Malone said. "With 'Heart of the City,' we hope to create a central focus for the city with the university as the anchor of the p roject" With the surrounding zoning, Malone said the master plan would give travelers a certain feel for the area. " We'll establish a sense of place along highway 78," he said. " You're really going to know something is there." As the p roject continues, San Marcos routes all designs and plans through the university f or review. Conversely,CSUSM informs the city on all its construction matters. T he •Heart of the City' area encompass nearly 1,600 acres, less than half the acreage of the CSUSM permanent campus. With the university standing in the center, the boundaries go slightly past FIRST I N A SERIES the campus to the south and extend to San Marcos Boulevard on the opposite side of Highway 78 to the North. The zoning extends East to already developed commercial and residential sites and West to Discovery Street Two main developments accent the 'Heart of the City' project. A University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center, housing the c ity's government, will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said, in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. SEE HEART/PAGE 7 �H eart V itals I The University The State of California has started a full-service university-level educational facility. Initial planning is for a two-year, upper-division and post-graduate studies facility transitioning to a full four-year campus. The campus master plan provides for the eventual development of a 35,000 student campus. Twin Oaks Valley work begins J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The Civic Center The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include: City Hall, conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel, park and open space incorporating a major water feature. The City Hall complex design will give special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the large clock tower at Cal State San MarcoS. The Business Park The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality uses. No driverthru facilities will be allowed. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation is the apparent low bidder in the $10 million construction project to widen Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham drive to accommodate the future site of Cal State San Marcos. With a budget of $ 10.2 million, the city of San Marcos received the Vadnais bid of $7,370,403, the lowest out of nine interested companies. "We are happy," said Bob Rager, an estimator with the Solana Beach company. "Our company has worked with the city of San Marcos before.

The center will also include a Library, City Hall, Community Center, a theater and possibly retail offices, a hotel and housing. "If we lease some of this area to businesses, then it will pay for itself in the long run," Malone said. Koll Construction of San Marcos has won the city's approval to design this center. Out of several different companies, Koll submitted the best conceptual drawing for the center. The rendering included two plaza areas, one within a shopping district and the other among the governmental buildings. Koll is now working with that concept and with the city to design the final Town Center complex. The University Center, although not detailed in its design or arrangement at this time, will include a variety of different businesses. A San Marcos Chamber of Commerce flyer states: "The Corporate Park will allow research and development and light industrial uses as well as corporate headquarters complexes and potential hotel developments." Malone foresees most of the businesses being "Neighborhood Commercial," a term to describe companies that serve the everyday needs of an on-campus student Land has been reserved for two hotels, one in the Civic Center, and a site for Kaiser Permanente Hospital. These sites are considered''floating," not yet confirmed in location. This is just one j ob we wanted." The project will widen Twin Oaks Valley Road from Highway 78 to Barham Drive to eight lanes, where it will continue as a six lane road. Barham Drive, also planned for six lanes, will only be built as a five lane road at this point in the project's development The city still needs furtherrightof way to continue the expansion. Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the project will also include completion of the first 13-14 feet of the 50-foot-wide sidewalk. "Futuredevelopers will be required to install the second part of the walkway," Malone said. ' The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Before Vadnais can be approved for the project, bonding must be approved and documents will be checked for mathematical and clerical errors. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the second lowest bidder, Cass Construction. Construction is expected to begin in May. "We' 11 work as quickly as we can," Malone said. "We'll definitely be done before the university is open." Scripps Memorial Hospital is planning to begin construction soon on a facility just on the west border of the 'Heart of the City' project at Discovery and San Marcos Blvd. A specific area of land, east of CSUSM, has also been reserved for an elementary school. A second school site is floating south-west of the university. making them visible from the freeway. "It'll be unrecognizable," Malone said, "design wise."

W E C ANT HOLD ferl BACK FOREVflU Future campus will be late, but final product worth wait As CSUSM has discovered, the need for a university in such a high-growth area is tremendous. Already the university has changed its plans for a student population in excess of 30,000 when the STAFF EDITORIAL campus is completed decades from now. Originally, the university expected a population of 25,000. In short, San Marcos got the project because of good planning. One needs only to take a look at other nearby universities to see what poor planning can do. San Diego State, for instance, is an architectural goulash that cannot nearly accommodate its rising population. The buildings are more a source of student stacking than community pride. At the University of California at San Diego there is no sense at all of a college community. Inside its vast acreage of buildings is an architecturally nice microcosm that does not in any way blend in with its surroundings. The college looks like an island amid an indifferent community. Even though many of the students now attending CSUSM won't be around to attend the finished campus, they can all More importantly, the campus and the City of San Marcos are look back at their alma mater with pride. In 1992 when the campus doesn't appear, the best advice prepared to accommodate the massive population that is expected in the future. According to last year's census, San Marcos is the fastest is to lug your books to your shopping center campus with the growing city_injhe county^ _ _„ __ ."'„'„, knowledge that the best is yet to come. In the wake of recent storms, drought problems and contractor disputes, Cal State San Marcos officials are hard-pressed to finish construction on their $650-700 million showcase campus by its fall 1992 scheduled openingxlate. Unfortunately, in the world of construction nothing ever goes as planned. Even though Campus Construction and Physical Planning still remains hopeful that the new university can be ready on time, they must seriously face the fact that space will be desperately needed to accommodate the anticipated flow of students to CSUSM when the campus doesn't magically appear. But future students need not despair. One glance at the plans of the future university and the college community concept of the4Heart of the City* project and it is evident that here is one good thing worth waiting for. Nowhere in the CSU system, the UC system or any other university system in this nation can be found such a remarkable symbiotic relationship as that which CSUSM and San Marcos share. When both the new campus and the 'Heart of the City' projects are completed, San Marcos will be magically transformed into a walkthrough Mediterranean village. If the plans are followed through and the project is not rushed, the result will be a showcase campus community. The whole concept can, in part, be credited to the city of San Marcos, which at great expense, put forth a plan that the college couldn't refuse. They offered to widen roads to eight lanes and construct a major community center which reflects the style of the campus. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 Republicans lack insight into key domestic issues As a culture and a nation of people, Americans are known for their impatience with problem solving. That is one good reason, for instance, why the Gulf War' s success was greeted with euphoria. A protracted conflict, while plausible, would have paid far less political dividends to the Republicans. This fact, coupled with the Democrats' apparent impotence at finding a viable leadership figure, poises the GOP for enormous domination during the next decade of public policy making. Only history will judge the prudence of a Republican-forged agenda that will inevitably usher in the next century. In other words, a window of oppor- DAVID HAMMOND tunity this deep and wide—literPIONEER COLUMNIST ally a time to dictate the nation's long-term goals—can end up tragically neglected if harnessed to short-term planning. Particularly in areas of domestic policy, the standard Republican party reliance on market forces has proven to be as void of sophistication as the liberal Democratic allegiance to the Great Society mythology. As far back as Eisenhower's reluctance to endorse school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas, and extending to the veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1990, the GOP's proactivity in championing the poor has been sheer inactivity. President Bush has even stated his preference for foreign affairs. This attitude is to be expected: foreign policy permits quick, noble, dramatic scenes, like the eviction of Iraq from Kuwait. Domestic problems, on the other hand, offer no euphoric conclusions, have less direct impact on the wealthy, and tend to be unresponsive to short-term solutions. Hence, the GOP is hardly concerned with forging better domestic policy when the bird of political dominance is well in hand anyway. As stated, the bad news for the country will be evident a decade or so from now, when we are paying, more than ever, for the lack of domestic problem solving. The detriments will be widespread across all the areas of Republican indifference: the environment, education, health care, and race relations. Sadly, seizing this moment, and making great history, are unnecessary to achieving the short-term goal of reelection. A less disastrous outlook features democrats finding an outside, untested candidate. This powerful, unusual nominee would be able to articulate the liberals' last vestige government as social healer - while embracing America's renewed faith in a strong military presence. Virtually the only bearer of these standards is Gen. Colin Powell, the Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Gen. Powell is politically balanced in his advocacy of both affirmative action and military adequacy, interested supporters will have to overcome one obstacle: he hates politics. On the other hand, so did two other Generals-turned-President: Washington and Eisenhower. �Campus reacts to ROTC action Editorial insensitive P IONEER 250-2 S.

MARK TWAIN I was at the Feb. 28/March 1 meeting of the Statewide Academic Senate that voted to urge CSU campuses to eliminate ROTC programs until the Department of Defense ends its discrimination against gays and lesbians. I am one of the two senators from San Marcos to sit in the Academic Senate: I voted for the resolution and I am proud of it It is true that a ban on ROTC will disadvantage low-income students in the CSU: certainly one of the few ways which our government chooses to support either education or economic mobility in our society through the military. But the editors of the Pioneer should not blame the Academic Senate for this state of affairs; rather the Pioneer should put the blame squarely where it belongs - on the Department of Defense. I can assure you that the day the DOD rescinds its ban on homosexuals in the military, I will vote to restore ROTC programs on CSU campuses. Despite disclaimers, the Pioneer's editorial is homophobic. I fail to understand what besides their homosexuality disqualifies these men and women from serving their country. How can someone suggest that gays and lesbians are not people of the "highest moral character" and not be a homophobe? Does the Pioneer really believe that the high moral character is a litmus test for enlistment? If so, can the Pioneer assure me that the U.S. military screens out tax cheats, adulterers, spouse and/or child abusers, alcoholics and/or drug users and overly aggressive, violent personalities from its ranks with the same relish that it goes after homosexuals? The Pioneer i s wrong. There are gays and lesbians in the military: lots of them. And they serve alongside their comrades with a minimum of conflict and with great distinction. Let me tell the Pioneer's readers about one such soldier. Perry Watkins served in the army for 16 years as an openly gay man. He received the highest possible evaluations until he was unceremoniously discharged. An appeals court ordered him reinstated on the grounds that the Army had no right to discharge Mr. Watkins since it had repeatedly allowed him to re-enlist even though it knew he was gay: last year the U.S. Supreme Court let the ruling stand. Today thousands of homosexual soldiers, sailors, marines and air force personnel are serving in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Some have been told that they face discharge after they return from the war. The military has told them, in effect, that they can serve their country in war time, that they can die for their country, but that they are not good enough to serve it in peacetime. Where is the fairness in the military's behavior? I c an't see i t Just as I c an't see as fair a military sponsored educational program that asks the CSU to grant academic credit for "military science" subjects and then limit access to that program by discriminating against homosexuals and anyone who has harbored a homosexual thought. That* right The military asks ROTC candidates to sign a statement declaring that they are not homosexuals and that YOUR VIEWS STUDENT FORUM they have never entertained homosexual ideas. That's a standard that few of us could m eet Is thq Pioneer suggesting that people lie in order to become "spotless examples o f... social morality?" So get off the Academic Senate's back, Pioneer. If you really care about restoring access to educational benefits for disadvantaged students, then write the Department of Defense, your congressional representatives, even the President and tell them that you want them to end their discrimination against the fine young gay and lesbian students who want to serve their country and to get access to those same educational benefits. You wouldn't tolerate them discriminating against racial or religious minorities and you c an't tolerate them discriminating against a minority whose sexual orientation is not yours. P ATRICIA S . SELESKI/ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY and CSUSM STATEWIDE ACADEMIC SENATOR ROTC needs support There has been many opinions in \hcPioneer which I did not agree with, but I chose not to respond to them in the "Your Views" section because I did not feel strongly enough about a particular story or opinion to respond with a written rebuttal. But, I have changed my position about not responding because of one story that was printed in the Pioneer on March 19 of this year. The story that I am speaking about, is the CSU Academic Senate calling for a systemwide ban of ROTC because ROTC discriminates against homosexuals. When the CSU Academic Senate passed the resolution on March 1, they stated, "the ROTC SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor. Submit letters in Pioneer's mailbox in the Student Services Office. program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of basic human rights and inimical to the values of the university, and is a violation of non-discrimination policy for the CSU system," as reported in the Pioneer. The first question that must be asked: Is ROTC violating the basic human rights of certain students? I believe that the ROTC is not violating any humanrightsbecause ROTC is not essential for an individual's existence. The second question that must be asked: IS ROTC violating the values of the University? I believe it is not violating the values of the university because the university's values should parallel the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but if the university's values allow for the deviant behavior of some, then I must agree with the CSU Academic Senate that ROTC violates the university's values. Everyone remembers the speedy victory of our troops in the Persian Gulf against Saddam Hussein. Where did the military get most of its officers? The military got most of their officers from the ROTC programs run by the Army, Navy and Air Force. I believe ROTC is essential for the recruitment and training for the future officers thatfillthe positions in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Therefore, the ROTC is an investment in the young people of today and the national security of tomorrow. The CSU Academic Senate claims that the ROTC is discriminating against homosexuals. But, if the CSU Academic Senate gets its way on the ROTC issue, then the Academic Senate is also guilty of discrimination. They would be infringing on the rights of students because students interested in participating in ROTC would not have the opportunity to do so. L et's say, for the sake of argument, that a student who has a limited income chooses to participate in ROTC and then suddenly the ROTC program is expelled from the CSU campuses. Then the student has to attend an expensive private university to participate in the ROTC program, or has to withdraw from the CSU because he or she cannot afford school without the ROTC scholarship. Does the CSU Academic Senate want to be responsible for the withdrawal of tens of hundreds of students because they have to impose their beliefs of individuals who pay their salaries and for their facilities in which they do their research to further their careers and their academic reputation? I call on the students of CSU San Marcos to reject this feeble-minded resolutions from the CSU Academic Senate because i t's an attempt by the CSU Academic Senate to impose their ultra-liberal views on us as students and on our institutions in which we fund and control as citizens of the state of California. Furthermore, if the CSU chooses to expel ROTC from the campuses, then they should expect lobbying of state and federal legislators to create abill which cuts off all federal and state funds to the CSU system, and heavily tax any gifts that the CSU receives.

CSUSM's StudentLounge, aroom where everything from orientations to conceits are held, will be transformed to resemble a Harlem hotel room, the set for 'The Meeting.' "We've rented three sets of staging; the rest would have to be done with imagination," said Donald Funes, Liberal Arts Dean. " It's radio for the eyes." The simple set allows for the meeting of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The two leaders engage in an arm-wrestling challenge. " It's based on three arm-wrestling games that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X have," Funes said. "King wins one, Malcolm wins the other and they tie the last. It signifies what would happen if they were working together." Funes said the one-act play is an Rocky and Bullwinkle stab a t conventionalit When I was a kid I was told by my mom that brussels sprouts (the bane of all children) were only tiny cabbages. I suddenly developed a hate for cab. As I grew older, I found that really isn't so bad. Even brussels sprouts, when smothered in cheese sauce, are mostly edible. The same thing goes «for'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' When I was a kid, the shoddy animation and corny dialogue of the program always inspired me to switch the channel to Bugs Bunny, or even — gag — Felix the Cat. As an adult, however, I am forced to reevaluate my position. Sure the dialogue is still corny the animation still stinks, but now see things in the cartoon that slipped by my younger mind. Hidden among the terrible puns, the script constantly smacks the establishment alongside the head. We know the heroes: there's the whimpy flying squirrel, Rocky, and the lanky, dull-witted moose Bullwinkle. Together they haplessly fall into adventure after adventure. Neither of our two protagonists seems to be particularly heroic, but the two make a likeable duo. ^ Xhe villains are two putzes from PotsylvaniayBoris B^ronofT and Natasha. If you liked Gold War politics, you'll love these two numskulls, VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Of course Rocky and Bullwinkle always end up victorious over their arch-rivals, but it isn't because of their massive intellects. They win in the end simply because we expect them to, and survive the most harrowing cliffhangers ever devised in cartoonville. The best part about the cartoon is the sharp witted script which stabs at everything from smog to television. The show even mocks itself at times. In one scene, Boris and Natasha are off to get an A-bomb to destroy our heroes. Bullwinkle makes the observation that, "A-bomb is what some people will call our program." In between spurts of RockyBullwinkle storyline are regular short skits in the program. One such short is 'Fractured Fairy Tales.' As you probably guessed, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' gives nice malignant twists to classic childhood stories. One episode has a wolf who is trying to kick the habit of eating Little Red Riding Hoods. Of course the wolf gets thrashed by both Little Red Riding Hood and her meek grandma. I won't tell you the ending, but suffice to say that nobody lives happily ever after.

The Rivals' absorbs audience in two acts D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Rivaling most any otherplay, ' The Rivals' is an intimate, delicate presentation of the trials and tribulations of love which absorbs and includes the audience so well, that everyone in the theater is involved in the plot, the setting and the ending. Set in 18th-century Charleston, South Carolina, ' The Rivals' i satwoact play. The story begins with three rivals, Jack Hosdiate, Sir Lucius O'Trigger and Bob Acres, who are all after the hand of Lydia Lanquish, the heroine played by Cynthia Peters. Servants, aunts, fathers, friends, and enemies keep the true hero from getting to Languish, which makes the play both hysterical and entertaining. One would think the Old English dialogue in the play would be difficult to understand; however, the acting and stage directing is so nearly perfect that the language is never a barrier to overcome for the audience. The viewers seem to understand every gibe and satirical remark. The actors are witty and charming, with gestures and facial expressions that personify specific characters on the stage. Bob Acres, for example, is the perfect country bumpkin trying to capture the alluring Lydia Languish by portraying himself as a "country gentleman."

Rock t o good music, roll in good food a t T-Bird Diner For those collegiate gourmets yearning for a good, nostalgic dinner served by button-clad waitresses and highlighted by Buddy Holly music, the T-Bird Diner in Escondido will keep you rockin' with great tunes arid rollin' in good food. The restaurant is reminiscent of a classic 50s diner. Neon lights beam from every wall. A classic T-Bird sits in the dining areas with posters of Rock and Roll legends like Elvis, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But, more than the atmosphere, the food at the T-Bird will remain in your memory and on your tastebuds for years to come. All dinners at the T-Bird are served with macaroni and cheese, potato salad or jello. The macaroni and cheese is especially sumptuous with a gentle sprinkle of paprika on top. No diner would be complete with- Bobby W atson: Performs April 17-21 atElario's,LaJolla. 459-0541 California Connection Jazz: Performs Tuesdays at 6:30p.m. at the San Luis Rey Downs, and at the Lawrence Welk Restaurant, Escondido, on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. Call 758-3762 or 749-3253 respectively.

The T-Bird offers eight different burgers named after waitresses which appeal to burgermeisters who like to experiment My favorite is the Rory Burger. The Rory has bacon strips, mayo, lettuce and peanut butter. It is a taste sensation that sticks to the roof of your mouth. The best thing about the Rory is the money back guarantee for those who are not satisfied with its flavor. The meat loaf is almost as good as m om's, with over 15 ingredients mixed throughout it. The mashed potatoes, that accompany the dish, have chunks of meat and onion to add f — C OUPON— tv Pancho's Mexican BOISJOLIE an extra homemade touch. Overall, the menu has everything one would expect from a nostalgic diner. There's even liver and onions for the eater who likes to munch on soft organs. The soda fountain is a must-try for anyone that likes the sweeter things in life. Here you can order anything from an egg cream to a hot fudge sundae. I ordered a Green Frog, a lime-flavored fizzy drink served with a sidecar of ice cream. The drink had me jumping for more.

Mrs. Malaprop, Lydia's aunt, is the perfect dowager aunt who does not want her niece to experience true love and feels that arranged marriages are the only answers for women. Trying to seem intelligent, but truly against book learning, Malaprop (which means ludicrous misuse of words) uses the wrong word for everything.

Rancho Santa Fe Rd., #106 San Marcos, CA 92069 744-1313 is supposed to. The Lamb's Theatre is a small, almost obsolete type of theater. Inside the lobby, you will feel closed-in and smothered. When entering the theater itself, however, you can sense the intimacy that is within, which is partly because of the theater-in-the-round setting. The theatre-in-the-round is difficult to direct because not only is there an audience on all four sides of the stage, but there is the change of props between acts seen in front of the entire theatre audience; there is no curtain here. Because of this stage set-up, the audience always knows when the scenes change. The cast combats this inconvenience by having the servant characters rotate the stage to a different position, depending on the scene. This way, viewers on all sides of the theater are able to see actors and the stage from every angle. Lamb's Players Theatre, San Diego's only year-round professional acting ensemble, has set its 1991 season of production. After opening this year's season with 'The Rivals,' the Players will present 'The Boys Next Door,' by Tom Griffin. Arnold, Lucien, Norman and Barry are the most unique bunch of neighbors you could ever ask for - golf pro, expert on Russian, doughnut king and conqueror of rodents - but i t's best not to be fooled by these characters' appearances. This off-Broadway hit will bounce you from laughter to tears and back. T he Boys Next D oor' runs April 19 through May 25. 'The Trip to Bountiful,' June 14 through July 20, is Horton Foote's delicate Southern Portrait of Carrie Watts who longs to visit the little rural town where she grew up, whether or not her family thinks it best. They say you can never go home again, but sometimes i t's the journey that matters. Aug. 9 through Sept. 14 brings 'Traveler in the Dark.' Even the most firmly held convictions can be shaken by the loss of a friend or the questions of a 12-year-old. This is Marsha Norman's fascinating contemporary exploration of the boundaries of thé mind and reaches of the heart. Closing the 1991 season is 'Quilters,' the award-winning musical by M olly N ewman and B arbara Damashek. 'Quilters' is a celebration of the pioneer spirit of the everyday, extraordinary women who helped settle the West. Performances are O ct 4 through Nov. 16. All performances are at Lamb's Players Theatre at 500 E. Plaza Blvd. in National City. Season ticket prices are $47-$81, with gift certificates available.

Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said CSUSM will not be holding any formal summer school classes in 1991, but the College of Education is planning a specialized class. ^Education 350 will offer Education students field experience. "This is a course that provides experience in elementary education that is a prerequisite into the teacher credentials program," said Steve Lilly, Dean of the College of Education. The course serves as a transition from the classroom to the real thing, Lilly said. Lilly said the university originally planned to offer the new course starting in the fall, but with a high demand and budget constraints* the course will also be offered in the summer. As of press time, not all the details had been determined. Lilly, however, speculated the course will be held during the first three weeks in June to correspond with Vista's year-round school program. Lilly said the cost would be around $300. Interested students can seek admission information from the College of Education Office.

CSUSM WILLTJOT ABANDON PROGRAM, BUT . .. University looks into problems dealing with writing requirement JONATHAN YOUNG^PIONEER With Cal State San Marcos* first academic year coming to an end, college administrators and faculty have indicated they need to reevaluate the2,500-word across-the-curriculum writing requirement but affirm their commitment to continue the program. "We will not abandon writing across the curriculum," said Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Science. "We need to look at it." Rocha explained that the program is still evolving and some areas need to be watched closely. In particular, Rocha said the university is paying attention to the faculty's work load. "What is surfacing is the amount of work it creates for the faculty," Rocha said. "We want to make sure the faculty doesn't get overloaded. "It's my job to stay ahead of that issue." Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, met with five students over the winter break to review the first semester of classes at CSUSM. He said the writing requirement was mentioned and students did share the same concern about the amount of Students voice their concerns work it heaped upon the faculty. Zomalt summarized the students about the writing requirement concerns and relayed the information PAGES 9 a nd 1 0 to all CSUSM's deans. The review covered several topics and "did not focus just on the writing requirement," "The act of writing will help you learn in any area of study," Rocha Zomalt said.

The project's master plan sets standards for construction on 1,600acres surrounding the future cite of Cal State San Marcos. The numbers of those interested in buying into this project, however, are not so quick to show the same enthusiasm. "Sales have been very slow," said Mel Coffman, a Coldwell Banker Commercial agent. Coldwell Banker Commercial is working with the city of San Marcos in selling approximately SO percent of the marketable land. "Coldwell Banker is involved in the Heart of the City through various land sales," Coffman said. "We've put together a brochure with the city about the project for potential clients. "We've always had a relationship with the city of San Marcos. This relationship gives us the opportunity to educate the developers." ut Coffman said the four-page brochure, with a 30-page developers guide to the Heart of the City project, is still not enough to get developers interested. "The city's concept of the area is pretty green," he said. "The demographics are not there y et" Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, said the university had the opportunity to review the developer's guide during the development of the project "The Heart of the City is a specific plan that governs architectural standards.... The project is to control architectural development," Amado said. "The university was involved in reviewing those documents." Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the city included the university in its planning stages as an incentive to CSU trustees to choose San Marcos as the new CSU campus site. "The city has been very cooperative with the university," Amado said. 'This relationship assisted the trustees in choosing San Marcos over a possible site in Carlsbad, Malone said. "There's a lot of us (CSUSM) in that document," Amado said. "The documents haven't really been tested yet because no one has done any development yet." "The campus will actually have to open before any developer is interested," Coffman said. B O F * T HE C ITY alone said the city is not worried about the current rate of sales. "It doesn't concern us too much," said Malone. Malone cited the low economy for slow land sales in general; in comparison, he said sales within Heart of the City boundaries are above thè market average. Currently, Malone estimated about 40 percent of the land is already bought or reserved for future development. "A nice chunk of the land has already been reserved," he said, "so we'reriotas worried." Aside from the 305-acre CSUSM campus, land is allotted for a 50-acre Town Center which is to house the city's governmental offices, as well as other civic facilities. Already under construction is a Unocal station on the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Highway 78. Malone said this would be the only gas station within the project. "It'll look unlike any other gas station," said Malone. The Heart of the City has a strong pedestrian orientation and any drive-thru facilities are not allowed. The Unocal site, however, was purchased before Heart of the City was developed. SECOND IN A SERIES mm he third construction job to start, following the campus construction and the Unocal station, are the street improvements. Twin Oaks Valley Road will be widened to an eight lane road from the highway to the campus site, and then continue as six lanes in each direction. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation was the apparent low bidder for the $ 10.2 million road project. "As the street improvements getfinished,the demographics will start to come in," said Coffman. "People will then start seeing the areas as a viable development" Construction is expected to start within 60 days on this phase of Heart of the City. Amado said this will be thefirsttest of the project's standards. "Those street improvements did take into consideration (the projectdocuments),and even more defined the project, which we had an opportunity to review and are very, pleased with what they've been doing," Amado said. As part of the street improvements, Amado referred to thefirst13-14 feet ofa50-foot-wide sidewalk. Heart of the City is pedestrian oriented and this large walkway will help facilitate that concept "Future developers will be required to install that second part of the walkway," Malone said. "The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Malone said some of the houses along the two streets bordering CSUSM were purchased through eminent domain to make room for the new road. "We only bought them if their homes are in the way of the street widening," Malone said. "If they are not, then they can live in there till they fall." According to Malone, ihe city has purchased several houses on Twin Oaks Valley Road and one on New Barham. "We've settled with the vast majority of them," he said. "Some are quite happy. In fact, some have bought other homes already." The remaining housing along these streets do not fall undo* eminent domain and can remain where they are. Malone explained that even though the area is zoned Business/Commercial, the houses were present before the area was rezoned for Heart of the City. The homes, however, cannot be expanded. Coffman feelssome homeowners will prefer to sell, but are waiting for the university to open, when their property may increase in value.

Measure A would have enabled the A.S. to collect membership fees from students when they enroll in classes. The measure would not have given the A.S. therightto impose fees upon students, only the ability to collect them. Measure B, which received the simple majority of votes needed for its approval, assesses a $15 membership fee to students for the A S. But, withoutthe passing of Measure A, the fate of Measure B remains in akindof bureaucratic twilight zone, since no money can be collected without the passing of an enabling measure. "We will have to contact the Chancellor's Office to see whether B is valid in the absence of A," said Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt. He said that it is uncertain, at this time, whether Measure B will take affect once an enabling measure is passed or whether a new fee measure will need to be introduced. Zomalt said he hopes to bring the issue before the students again next CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 to secure their own votes as well." Proposition 1, the ratification of the student constitution, received an overwhelming affirmation with 96 percent of the student votes cast in support. Ballot Measure B, which assessed a$15 A.S. membership fee passed by IS votes, but cannot be implemented due to the failure of Measure A, the initiative enabling the student government to collect fees. Even though Measure A received 60 percent of votes in support, it did not reach the required two-thirds majority necessary for its implementation. "It's confusing as to what message the voters were communicating to the university," said Zomalt Zomalt said he suspects that Measure A lost due to voter misunderstanding of the language in which it was written. The language for the measure was taken directly from Title fall. He said an important task for the A.S. will be to stress the importance of fees to the student body. In the meantime, the newly-formed A.S. is left with the task of raising money for the organization. Zomalt said the- issue should be of highest priority for the A.S. Council. "Between now and fall we need to raise enough money to make the A.S. solvent," Zomalt said. He said the organization must incorporate and file for tax-exempt status before the beginning of the next semester's classes. A.S. fees are used throughout the Cal State system as a means for funding student events, supporting clubs and organizations, sponsoring guest speakers and performers, financing child care and support organizations. "Without money there is no Way to obtain many of the benefits of an A.S.," said Zomalt "That's no way to run a railroad." Along with the enabling fee, students also failed to pass Measure C, which would have assessed a $20 fee to students for the construction of a Student Union complex on the permanent campus. The measure was defeated by a margin of 29 vote, the largest gap of the three^measures. "I don't think we had enough time to explain how the fee was going to be used," Zomalt said. "The new A.S. needs to put together materials explaining its necessity." According to Zomalt, the funds would have gone to architects who would work on plans describing the building more fully. Currently, the complex is aplanned centerpiece of the permanent campus, but funding for thebuilding is not allowed to cóme from the state. Only donations and funds from the student body can be used in its construction. The failure of Measure C to pass may offset construction of the complex, which wasplannedfor 1995-96, by at least one year. The Student Union complex will someday house the A.S., the student newspaper the yearbook, clubs and other organizations pertaining to the students. "S tudents are going to have to take the issue seriously," said Zomalt. Zomalt pointed out that all other Student Union complexes throughout the state have been funded by student fees similar to that proposed by Measure C. Even the nearby MiraCosta Community College has a Student Union complex paid for by the student body. 5 of the state's Education Code and could have been deemed as a fee assessment measure. Students turned down Measure C, the Student Union fee initiative, by a significant margin of 29 votes. The measure, if passed, would have assessed a $20 per semester fee for each enrolling student to be put toward the construction of a Student Union complex on the permanent campus site. A run-off election for the position of post-baccalaureate representative at-large will be held concurrently with the presidential run-off. The race will decide who will occupy a vacant postbaccalaureate seat. David Hammond ran unopposed for one seat, but John Cave and William Jungman pulled in enough writein votes to necessitate a run-off election for the other seat In the College of Arts and Sciences, Maria (Venus) Van Handel and Gezai Berhane obtained unopposed representative seats. A third candidate, William Christensen, dropped from the race on thefirstdate of the elections. Steffanie Taylor and Mary Parker were chosen to represent the College of Business in a close battle with Koffi Kobenan and Anthony Slowik. The College of Education placed two unopposed candidates, Linda (Carol) Aguilar and Heliana Ramirez, in representative seats. Wendy Peterson received more votes than any other candidate (129) and obtained one of three undergraduate representative at-large seats available. Tanis Brown, Traci Barnhill and Tom Weir also were selected as representatives. Zomalt said he suspects the high voter turnout at the election could have been in support of the representative at-large candidates. He said many of those who were not elected into office will be offered key positions in working with the student council. He pointed out that positions are also available to represent the student voice to the Academic Senate and other organizations. "There were no losers in this election,"Zomalt said. "We've seen folks who have stepped up and taken the challenge." Springtime allergies nothing to sneeze at The good news is that the March rains have helped our drought condition; however, the bad news is that this may be a sinister allergy season because of the intense rain. Spring and early summer in Southern California make one out of six people fairly miserable with allergy symptom s. The recent rains have spurred the growth of indoor HEALTHNOTES and outdoor molds. Tree pollen DR. JOEL G R I N O L D S counts, and soon grass pollen counts will be on the rise. Pollen can travel up to 100 miles so that it is not just local vegetation that can be a factor. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (commonly called Hay Fever) may include itching and swelling of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. It can cause sneezing, tearing, a clear discharge from the nose, post nasal drip, as well as a dry cough and wheezing. Approximately a third of people with allergic rhinitis will also have wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma. The average allergic rhinitis patient is symptomatic for five months a year and 62 percent of patients report they are bothered a "great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from every day activities and results in many work and school days lost Total sales for medications, both over the counter and prescription, amounts easily to over $2 billion a year. There is no magic allergy antidote but an allergic patient has basically three choices for gaining some relief. Thefirstis to avoid the offending allergen. This is usually fairly difficult but there are steps you can take to reduce allergens, especially in your home. For specifics see your health care provider for counseling and literature. The second choice is to use medication to relieve your symptoms. If you self-treat allergy symptoms with over the counter medications, ask a pharmacist for advice. Don't abuse the decongestant nasal sprays, especially since they have adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of overthe-counter antihistamines because most of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar effects to alcohol in impairing one's ability to drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment When allergies continue to interfere with your life, sleep, and work or if you develop secondary infectious complications, see your health care provider. Some fairly new, albeit fairly expensive, medications which relieve symptoms without causing sedation are now available by prescription after an evaluation by your health care provider. Lastly, immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots, based on specific allergy testing, can provide relief. This is appropriately usually the last resort if symptoms can not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications.

With his letter (and a packet of information stating the policies of the CSU with regard to discrimination) in mind, I attempted to cleave into the meat of a writing assignment on an 18th-century satire.

A THOUGHT; " Political i nstitutions a re a s uperstructure r esting o n a n e conomic f oundation." NIKOLAI LENIN Repeat after me. The Cal State University is a teaching institution first-and-foremost. This exercise is designed to exorcise Cal State San Marcos of its occasional flirtation with being a near-edge research arena rather than the "everyone's" university that the Cal State System was founded to be. This issue surfaces for several reasons. It is relevant that the students are genuinely exhausted with the extent of work required here in 300 level classes. This at least begs the evaluation of what amount of intellectual growth is netted when the challenge means multiple presentations, numerous papers, several tests, homework, and participation. Hold it, that's multiplied in force by three or four classes, and work, and family. In all the Politically Correct rhetoric about diversity and pluralism, scarce little has been put in writing to protect the so-called "returning student" It is especially relevant to ask when it even seems that student evaluations at a Cal State University are ignored in faculty retention decisions. As this has been, and remains, a popular assumption, it is correct to remind our faculty and administrators that the most important mission is the students' satisfaction and success. DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER COLUMNIST I hasten to add that most of us have as much or more experience in life and business management as many of our scholarly colleagues have just studying it. Our unique attributes as a onetime population makes our wishes all the more compelling. The fact remains that at least five student majority opinions regarding faculty teaching have been seemingly ignored. That is, they couldn't teach, and still work here, or they were great teachers, and didn't return. That fact is balanced by the difficulty of establishing the right way to grade teachers. Once again, time to reiterate the critical mission: teach. Student evaluations must account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion process. This weight will send a clear message to faculty in accord with the Cal State University mandate. Research and committee work should account for only 25 percent of the state university professor's time. In this regard, only applied research will count. That is, a demonstration of marketable talent. Community relevance is broadly applicable: consulting to a museum or business; inventing a teleconferencing system; conducting a concert. This will serve to insure that our best-andbrightest are developing the real-worldliness that the Ph.D. misses. Finally, the second-to-last week of every semester should include a public forum with only the students, Deans, and DepartmentChairs. This structure sparks direct, uninhibited feedback regarding the quality of instruction at Cal State San Marcos. Of course, no channel of communication is effective without a sender. When a student fills out a student evaluation seriously and legitimately, they are contributing to the process of building a great university. Naturally, this responsibility can only be appreciated when it is evident that the administration understands the correct mission of the university, and cares enough to live by it. Students reply to writing requirement stand AVP Search Committee assured ethnic diversity Asamemberof the Academic Vice President Search Committee and a student, I would like to address the recent statement printed in Pioneer ("VP search not reflective of college's goal") questioning the procedures taken by the AVP Search Committee in its Academic Vice President search. First, I would like to say that my esteemed peer is misinformed, or should I say failed to become informed, about who and what was represented in the search committee. For the sake of clarity, please allow me to do so. The AVP Search Committee was created for the purpose of assuring that all sectors of the university had an input into the hiring process of our Academic Vice President that reflected the mission statement of the university. This was reflected in the committee's makeup which represented the interests of the deans, faculty, staff and students. The search committee also reflected the cultural and gender diversity that is representative of our college community and student body. This is the 'who is represented' part of the search committee. Now for the what The committee was created at the recommendation of CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Reflecting the multi-cultural and gender characteristics of the university as a whole, President Stacy believed the best way to achieve this was by establishing a committee that incorporated all aspects of the university that reflected the AVP Search Committee a process in which I am pleased to say I was selected for and proud to be a part of. Before I wish to impart to the student for whom this reply is addressed, that not only is your displeasure partially incorrect, it is also fully erroneous with regard to its implied insensitivities. At theriskof being indigent, of which YOUR VIEWS I beg your pardon, your displeasure appears to be self-inflicted.

LETTERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 lence," has become a sore spot for many. First, we students have to consider the source when an opinion supporting the writing requirement comes from a writer. In essence, that's easy for to say, Mr. Editor-in-Chief; you obviously have the gift of writing, a strong educational background in English composition, or both. For many students at CSUSM, neither is the case. We have a large population of returning students, who attended community colleges, where memorization-regurgitation is the predominant mode of learning. Taking these people and submerging them cold turkey into such intensive writing projects is like throwing the lambs to the wolves (and I might add that we should be congratulating ourselves for holding up under pressure). Secondly, we cannot deny the importance of cognitive thinking in modern society. Our country has transformed itself from an industrial/ manufacturing nation and, whether we are aware of it or not, we have become an information/ service oriented society (when's the last time you bought something that said "Made in America"on it?). Therefore, we must realize the importance ofeffective communication - through all medias: computer, telephone, written and oral. Any university emphasizing cognitive thinking would, by virtue of that fact, be serving the community well. Consequently, it cannot be denied that CSUSM's writing requirement is a great asset. However, the present application ofthe2,500word writing requirement seems to be posing problems for students and faculty alike. In order to be well informed on the subject, I called to inquire about the writing requirement and its guidelines; I found out that it is up to the individual instructors as to how to fulfil the 2,500 words of their courses. The requirement may be fulfilled via testing, term papers and other written assignments. One 10-page term paper would be sufficient, or two 100 percent essay exams, or a smaller paper and apartially subjective exam. The point is that the present practice of including all of the above in each class curriculum is considered by most students to be excessive. It is also apparent by the amount of time ut takes to get materials returned, that instructors are having a difficult time grading the assignments. Suggesting smaller class sizes, in order to resolve the problem is unrealistic; so is the concept of staggering assignments. The average full-time student would have to agree that due dates are irrelevant The fact remains that the monstrous workloads are having an adverse effect Nobody, not even a writer, can consistendy pour forth profound thoughts when the expectations become unrealistic. Included in quality learning is sufficient time for breaks (according to education specialists, this is when a lot of concepts are absorbed). Many students here are complaining that they are not realizing the material (writing assignments are pre-empting reading assignments, which are also an important learning tool.). T HE M ATHEMATICS MAFIA Different standards for Romanitic Correctness Hewlett Packard's newest employee Furthermore, we must consider the effect this issue has on the community. Already, the students at Palomar College, who are a valuable pool of possible future students, are living in fear of our writing requirement Will this deter them from choosing our fine new school? Certainly, our goal should be to emit an image that will make future students choose this institution for more than justreasonsof convenience . The writing requirement cannot serve the community well if it becomes an instrument of intimidation. In response to the paragraph of the opinion article, I'm sure the students at CSUSM would be appalled at the thought of compromising our university's goal for excellence. We first class students have acertain pride in our new campus. We all have to admit that the writing requirement provides a passport of understanding. However, we all are also painfully aware that excessive workloads, resulting from overzealous attempts toward excellence, can become counterproductive to our educational goals. In a nutshell, moderation and variety are the key. I also believe that more moderate writing assignments are inevitable; and I hope that a greater variety in modes of learning will be utilized instead. At theriskof being redundant, we do not want our education to be made easy, we simp y need to be realistic about the time that allotted. Let's all hope and pray that the end result will not deflate the excitement level that founding this new university has brought to the community. 1 LORA COAD/CSUSM STUDENT Share Y OUR V IEWS by submitting articles or letters; d rop off your entries in the Pioneer's mailbox in the Dean of Student Services' Office, Building 145. Mathematic majors can communicate better I agree with David Hammond that something sad happened between the 50s and the 90s. I don't agree with his view that the 90s have welcomed a new battle of the sexes ('"Romantic Correctness* needed," April 16). It sounds more like he is trying tofightthe same old battle with the same old rules, clothed in languages of the 90s. The rules are that women need to change and men get to stay the same. Let's look at some of David's 'stuff for Romantic Correctness. First, men should continue topay fprdates,but women must strengthen their will and accept 'offers' only when they are sincerely interested and genuinely attracted. This implies that afinancialinvestment must be met with and emotional investment. Unfortunately, in the real world genuine attraction and sincere interest may or may not happen after spending some time together. When it doesn't happen it does not mean that the man was being used or the woman wanted to Till' a vacant Friday night It simply mean it did not happen. Second, men still make the first move. It sounds like they are not happy about this because of the potential rejection they might have to endure. Therefore, they make the first move, but in an indirect remote way. Women, on the other hand, need to show more directness and cooperation. Now this is really confusing. When a women says no, which is very direct, she is rejecting. Yet when she responds to indirect, remote ways in an indirect remote manner, she neeas to be more direct and cooperative. Talk about mixed signals and double standards! I can hear David's frustration about the current state of affairs, but don't believe that his suggestions for Romantic Correctness will perfect what he calls the 'mating condition* because things don't change when things haven't changed. I must begin by apologizing for the lackluster attitude that the editor of our paper has shown in both fact-gathering and in journalism knowledge. If he had done his job properly, he might have taken a real math class before trying to communicate to you the faults of our "hero" Joe Geometry. He might have actually have come to one of our classes and seen the level of sophistication of communication that an actual mathematics class requires. If proper research had been done, our editor might also have seen that NOT ONE of the mathematics majors that attend Cal State San Marcos has complained about the across-theboard writing requirement This is not a hard fact to verify. There are only seven mathematics majors in the entire school. Oh to be a gorilla. I could score a job at HP (Hewlett Packard) without even attending a school. Just in case that nobody really realized just exactly where a laptop computer comes from, here's aclue: They don't grow on trees! If Joe Geometry could be replaced by a laptop and $1,000 in software, he should go get a job designing the computer that will eventually take the place of the newspaper editor. I guess the real purpose of the entire tirade is to throw down the gauntlet. If you, O mighty editor of our paper, think that you can handle a real class, come and try to keep up with even one of our lightest class days. I would bet that any of E LKE PHILLIPS/CSUSM STUDENT the mathematics majors do more thinking, adapting, and interpreting in one class period than you do in one week, with the exception of you own column of course.

This small, but well-stocked art gallery is filled with excellent art works that are displayed in three different rooms named the Russian Room, the European Room and the American Room. The famous art pieces in the European Room were painted by acclaimed artists like Rembrandt and Cezanne, but the most interesting room is the American Room, which may not have the famous painters but does have American worksfromthe late 18th to the 20th centuries. It's gratifying to see the American paintings. Here are some splendid pieces of art. One work, for example, is named, An American Ship in Distress* and was painted by Thomas Birch in 1841. This painting of a ship in a storm immediately catches the viewer's eye Forcing a ship's sails to flutter andrippedcords to flap, the wind reveals its bursting power. Rippling, white-capped waves attack the flailing ship while the menacing sky readies itself to cry upon the Earth. Nature has the ability to crush man's invention. The viewer undeniably envisions the doom that lays ahead for this ship. Other paintings by American artists are just as marvelous and worth seeing. Another room worth visiting is the Russian Room.

"Because of the use, these rails always wear out," Fiscella said. Fiscella works on an immense HO scale model (1,487' to 1'), just one of several sections of the Museum. When completed, the set will model a train routefromEl Centra to San Diego. "What all these exhibits are trying to do is to model a section of California History," Fiscella said. His San Diego/Arizona Eastern exhibit will cover about 12-scale miles; 750 feet of actual scaled track has been developed. "When you add all the yard track and turnouts, you have to times that figure by about four," Fiscella said. Fiscella said their tracks and control terminals are stke-of-the-art. Each track tie is laid individually and the track itself is secured in place by scaled rail stakes. "It's cheaper in material and easier to repair," Fiscella said, "but it's labor intensive." Fiscella said his club has a track-laying crew, an electronics crew, a construction crew and even a scenery crew. "Scenery takes the longest to complete, but you don't have to replace i t" he said.

The institution experienced steady growth from its founding until February 1978, when the entire collection was destroyed by an arson fire. Rebuilding began immediately and involved combined efforts of the San Diego community and the Museum staff, directors, and volunteers.

In Balboa Park, one organization is dedicated to recognizing the important role sports plays in our lives: The San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum. The Sports Museum's mission statement states, "To promote, recognize and preserve athletic achievement for the purpose of inspiring individuals of all ages to reach their full potential." The Museum fulfils its mission through several programs including programs for children. The "Say Yes to Sports" program provides organized athletic groups to thousands of San Diego's youth. At the same time, "Say Yes to Sports" teaches these youngsters about the benefits of sports. The Hall of Champions Monthly Awards Program honors outstanding performances by San Diego athletes. Since the program's inception in 1946, the Hall has recognized thousands of athletes, from Little Leaguers to Super Bowl MVPs. As part of the display, more than a century of San Diego history is preserved in the 15,000 square foot Hall of Champions Sports Museum. Whatever your favorite sport, the Hall ensures you'll find it featured in the Hall of Champions. There are 25 exhibits and a Sports Theater.

Icons, altar pieces that were usually carried from village to village by the people, were created for easy transportation. One of seven displayed, the middle and largest icon, portrays Jesus Christ sitting with a book under one arm and facing the viewer. Under Jesus are the words, "The All Ruler." The tradition of the icons, which this set follows, is to place the Virgin Mary on therightof Jesus and St. John the Baptist on the left. Four other saints are placed in the order of their importance on either side of Jesus, Mary and S t John; they are S t Peter, Michael The Achangel, Gabriel and St. Paul. All are standing toward Jesus with heads bowed in reverence to him. All are painted in bright colors with gold inlaid throughout their clothing and around their halos. These icons are worth viewing „ because of their importance to the Europeans and Russians during Middle Ages and Renaissance Periods. Sometimes icons were the only images of holy people the villagers ever saw, and most of the time they were the only pieces of art the viewers viewed. One can enter the Timken gallery without feeling overwhelmed because each piece is well-displayed where viewers can wander in and out of the rooms without feeling the pressure to leave.

The Zoo is completely bananas. Melba and Alvila, the city's simian superstars, are back in town and taking up residence on a chunk of prime primate real estate -— the new Gorilla Tropics, a rambling rain forest view lot in the heart of the San Diego Zoo. Dearly missed by Zoo keepers and visitors during a nearly two year absence, Memba, Alvila and four gorilla newcomers from Philadelphia and Cincinnati now give this city's famous Zoo a gorilla family group for the first time. While they were gone» the Zoo spent $11.5 million to build one of the most innovative and beautiful settings for the gorillas and 200 colorful African birds to call home. Officially dubbed "Gorilla Tropics: The Michael Dingman Family African Rain Forest," the Zoo's new exhibit complex is a two-and-a-half«-acre simulation of an African ' rain forest, complete with four aviaries of African birds, six gorillas in a spacious enclosure, thousands of African plants, and even the authentic sounds of Africa's jungle environment. The Zoo's new gorilla exhibit isfivetime larger than the old one, and liberally planted with bamboo,figand banana trees surrounding a hillside clearing. Memba, Alvila and clan are expected to chow down a good deal of the user-friendly foliage. Horticulturists have a small forest of replacement plants waiting in the wings. The best stereo system in town belongs to Memba andhis gorilla gang. The multiple compact disc system plays environmental sounds especially recorded in the African rain forests through 96 speakers hidden throughout Gorilla Tropic. Zoo designers call the concept "sound immersion" and look to the $200,000 system to add another layer of realism and sensory appeal. Computer programming allows an infinite variety of sound sequences. Sounds of thunderstorms will correspond with rain falling in the renovated Scripps Aviary. Sensors will record human and gorilla locations to trigger certain sounds. Pools and waterfalls are scattered throughout Gorilla Tropics. All water is recycled and reused, a technology consistent with the Zoo's water conservation ethic. Thousands of botanical specimens, including full-sized trees, are planted in and around thefiveanimal exhibits. Many of the plants were collected on Zoo expeditions to Gorillas top bananas in new park exhibit The San Diego Zoo's top bananas have finally come home, and they've brought a bunch of new friends with them. Memba and Alvila, the Zoo's popular lowland gorilla pair, are back from the Philadelphia Zoo where they vacationed for 1-1/2 years while their Gorilla Tropics habitat was being custom built-for them. They arrived in San Diego in February with four new gorilla companions. Memba, 21, is the big daddy of the troop; the adult male silverback, who is in charge of the gorilla family. His keepers say he's a changed gorilla since he got back from Philadelphia because he has overcome a shy streak towards humans. Although Memba is a bit of the serious side, he sometimes break-dances after hours in his sleeping quarters by spinning around on his back. The 350-pounder was born in the wilds of Africa, He later lived in a private estate zoo in Weybridge, England, until 1984 when he was donated to the San Diego Zoo by his owner Gordon Mills. Memba and mate, Alvila, are parents to Gordy gorilla, who recently went to live at the Como Zoo in S t Paul, Minn., from the Wild Animal Park. Alvila is considered the sweetheart among the Zoo's gorilla troop. She's a kinder, gentler animal who is particularly fond of humans. As the oldest troop member, 26-yearold Alvila is famous because she's the first gorilla ever born at the San Diego Zoo. Shortly after her birth on June 3,1965, she had trouble nursing from her mother so she was hand-raised in the Children's Zoo nursery that was built especially for her. SEE GORILLA/PAGE 18 Rwanda and Gabon to study wild gorilla habitat while planning Gorilla Tropics. Perched at the edge of what was once known as Bird and Primate Mesa, Gorilla Tropics offers spectacular treetop views that add to the lush, jungle-like feeling. Gorillas arefirstseen through a large, glass-front viewing area. Keepers plan regular feedings here to allow visitors some close-up encounters. Other gorilla viewing vantage points are across a cascading waterfall and through foliages. Around one bend in the winding trail is a family of full-size, lifelike gorilla statues, sculpted in bronze by artist Bob Berry. The gorilla statues invite curious climbing kids and grown-up picture takers. A cavernous walk-through free flight cage, the Scripps Aviary, houses hundreds of exotic African birds.Originally built in 1923, the Scripps Aviary has been completely renovated. Curving pathways to mid-canopy level have been added. New planting and a new water system are installed. Gorilla Tropics is the latest step in rebuilding the entire San Diego Zoo into 10 bioclimate zones. Renovating the 100-acre, 75-year-old Zoo is expected to be a 20 year project and to cost up to $200 million. Gorilla Tropics is part of the rain forest zone. It follows Tiger River (1988) and Sun Bear Forest (1989), both also rain forest habitats. The African Rock Kopje (1986) is part of the savanna zone. �C alendar Friday Evening Speakers Series: Professor Sergio D.

For some insanereason Fdrather be scared while watching a movie at home thantickled or dramatized. VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE There is just no form of entertainment that compares with being scared in the confines of your own house. And who is the master of scaring most any home viewer? Could it be SATAN? So you can probably imagine how thrilled I was to see two new releases in the video stores with the Devil himself as the bad guy. My head did a complete 360 when I saw the latest sequel to the Exorcist and a spoof on that esteemed flick called 'Repossessed.' The good news is that 'The Exorcist III' is an intelligent, artistic approach to my favorite subject. The bad news is that 'Repossessed' has reached hellish depths of comedy. Even though 'TheExorcistHT can, at times, be confusing and choppy, it is filled with all the zesty spirit of the original. This is probably because the author of the first, William Peter Blatty, has been brought back from the dead to script and direct this sequel based on his bestselling book 'Legion.' In the story, Blatty resurrects Damien Karras, the priest who took a tumble to exorcise the Devil from a little girl in the first movie. Karras, played by Jason Miller, is believably brought back as an almost-catatonic isolated patient in a cosmopolitan hospital. This time, it is the good priest that is possessed. Not only the Devil J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER himself, but a bunch of foul demons and the soul of a serial killer (named the Gemini Killer) inhabit Karras' body. Even though the Gemini Killer died in the electric chair IS years ago, murders committed in exactly the same manner as the Gemini m urders begin again. George C. Scott portrays Lieutenant Bill Kinderman, the detective searching for Che killer. Scott has some truly riveting moments as the perplexed detective, who stumbles upon the living body of his dead friend Father Karras and is pulled into the Devil's sticky web of possession. No one explodes in anger like old George t C. The acting is solid throughout the movie, but one particular part is so good it makes your toes curl. The part of the Gemini Killer, that is taking over Karras' body, is brought to life by Brad Dourif ('Mississippi Burning'). Dourif is entrancing as the killer, with moments of flare-up that makes the furniture singe. Rent the movie just to see this guy act. Unfortunately, Dourif doesn't make his appearance until the movie is halfway over. Before his entrance, you must endure a series of choppy but artistic scenes that try to link the / i—COUPON--- SEE V IDEO PAGE 19 Pancho's MESTAURANT ROW exican O LD C ALIFORNIA R 1020 S an M arcos B lvd., #104 S an M arcos, C A 92069 (619) 471-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.

She even teases him a little bit by stealing his f ood... and he lets her get away with it At 10-years-old, Jessie is the perfect age to start having babies. Jessie will probably be an excellent mother because she has had lots of experience with baby gorilla. She grew up with her gorilla family at the Philadelphia Zoo and helped babysit three siblings. She has also witnessed gorilla breeding and births. Keepers hope Jessie will be a good role model for .Kubatiza and Penny II, the two youngest gorillas in the San Diego troop. She's very gorilla-oriented and is interested in the kids. Kimba Kumba is a whirlwind or gorilla energy. In fact, her name means playful in Swahili. Born at the Cincinnati Zoo on Sept. 17,1986, Kimba Kumba, like Jessie, was raised by her gorilla family. She gets along with other gorillas and is considered to be extremely well-adjusted. Kimba Kumba feels safe and secure with best friend Alvila. She also stands up straight and walks on her feet more than the other gorillas do.

Now that the pair are in San Diego, they're inseparable. Penny II is bonding slowly but surely with her new gorilla family.

Omelet House eggsciting VIDEO With the thousands of coffee shop/ restaurants in North County, it is difficult tofinda place that serves more than just ham and eggs. The Golden Egg Omelet House, located at 316 W. Mission in Escondido, however, offers a truly eggsciting alternative to Denny'sorthoseotherbreakfaststops. The Golden Egg Omelet House offers a selection of 88 different omelets, some of which are stuffed with originality. Many of the offerings are so far out, it is hard to imagine their palatability. On myfirstvisit to the restaurant, I tried the shrimp, avocado, bacon and cheese omelet. The blend worked nicely together, with tender shrimp, crispy bacon and creamy avocado. The dish shows that seafood and eggs make for a good catch. At $5.55, this selection is one you shouldn't let get away. For those that like to order fruit waffles orpancakes for breakfast, The Golden Egg Omelet House has alternatives that break the shells of convention, with five fruit-stuffed omelets. The omelet stuffed with spiced apples, bananas, cinnamon and honey CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 COLLEGIATE GOURMET BY L A R R Y is so good, I almost felt guilty eating i t The mixture of tangy fruit and sweet honey made me feel as if I were stealing a slice of mom * s apple pie for breakfast. The price of $4.35 was reasonable enough to not scramble my pocket book. There are so many selections on the menu that those trying to order will find their brains poached with decisions. Omelets with zucchini, artichokes and chilies are mixed with the traditional faire of ham, bacon and cheese. There are even omelets with chicken livers for those who like soft organs for breakfast. None of the omelets I tried were over done or under done, rather they were all fried to fluffy perfection. If cheese is desired, The Golden Egg Omelet House offers four types to further confuse the customer. Jack, Cheddar, Swiss or American cheeses are all available for omelet aficionados. If, for some strange reason, you can't find the omelet of your taste, BOISJOLIE you can request a special order packagefilledwith your own favorites. Each egg dish is served with grilled French bread or, for an extra 250, Dudley' s famous bread can be substituted. I highly recommend the Dudley's date nut bread as acompanion to your meal. Not only does The Golden Egg Omelet House serve omelets, it also serves a wide variety of other breakfast and lunch foods. Everything from pancakes to huevos rancheros is available for breakfast hounds. Service at The Golden Egg Omelet House is fantastic, even though it does a hearty business on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Waitresses are always ready to add more coffee to your cup or suggest their favorite combinations. If you try The Golden Egg Omelet House, don't be too chicken to order a far-out concoction.

Blatty, in his attempt to be clever, overdoes it with the smarts. I was so lost in all his symbolisms that I had to watch the first part of the flick twice. I still don't get most of them. The exorcist of the movie is father Morning, played by Nicol Williamson. I saw so little of the character I can only guess that he is Blatty*s token do-gooder and devil fighter. How could the movie be called 'The . Exorcist III' without an exorcist? Blatty could take some directoral and editing advice from William Friedkin, who did the original 'Exorcist* This sequel doesn't compare to the original, but what does? I don't know what the hell possessed writer/director Bob Logan to make 'Repossessed.' I'dsay the Devil made him do it, but that isn't giving the Devil enough credit for artistic judgement. The whole movie, which is meant to be an 'Airplane'-like spoof on 'The Exorcist,' is nothing more than one green-puke joke after another. Mixed with tasteless homosexual jokes and celibate priest gags, this moviechokes on its own humor. It just plain isn't funny! Leslie Nielsen, who is the master of slapstick comedy, toasts his reputation as Father Jedediah Mayii, the priest called on to exorcise the demon from Nancy Aglet, played by Linda Blair. Blair's character is a spoof of her original exorcist role that only a ' starving actor would take. I'm not going to talk anymore about this movie because, if you rent it, you won't watch it anyway.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Women top men in enrollment "Ultimately, the faculty would have looked at the agreement and may have reached the same conclusions," he said.

Before the forums, 30 students submitted surveys, distributed during orientation, expressing interest in involvement.

The first week of school brought 313 women and 115 men to the infant university. In addition to the high number of women that attended CSUSM, the college also found a higher mean age than other colleges. With the average age of students at 29, officials speculated that reentry women were most inspired to attend CSUSM. "We're looking at reentry women at this age, rather than the typical college cohort," said Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt. Officials were also surprised at the low number of minorities that attended this semester. Among the low numbers of minorities taking classes were 38 Hispanic, 12 African American and eight American Indian students. Overall, officials found more Full Time Equivalent Students in attendance than expected. Zomalt said the college's major feeder was the nearby Palomar College.

Amado said he thinks the below-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. He hopes bids for the campus's other "feature" buildings will be lower as well. The State University Board of Trustees approved the bid in November. Bookstore burglar steals Simpons Newspaper offers gift, alliance Times Advocate Publisher John Armstrong, in mid October, presented a proposal to the University Council outlining the donation of a stateof-the-art newsroom to the college. In return for the gift, the company is requesting paid circulation of the Times A dvocate on t he CSUSM campus and printing rights for the college student publication. The newsroom would assist the campus in the publication of a student newspaper as well as establish a foundation for a future journalism program. In addition to the newsroom, studentjournalists would also have access to professionals working at the Times Advocate. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said the proposal would have to be viewed through student, academic and business perspectives before it can be considered for approval. Members of the Student Newspaper Task Force, after reviewing the proposal, questioned the impact of the deal on a future student newspaper. Concerns were raised by the committee as to whether or not the student publication could retain its integrity if distributed inside the Times Advocate. The task force saw the proposal as a business deal rather than a gift. The deal will go before the University Council again this week for further discussion. TIMES ADVOCATE Task Force drafts mission statement At their Oct. 24 meeting, the Student Governance Task Force completed a draft of a mission statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM. "It was a necessary step before even doing a constitution," said task force member David Hammond. Task force members sought to write a broad, but firm, foundation for the university for the 21st-century. The statement included a commitment to 3 JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Students of CSUSM's first semester donned college T-shirts at a gathering Friday. Semester comment shared LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER After completion of the first semester of regular class sessions, students at Cal State San Marcos face this week's finals with mixed opinions. At an end-of-semester gathering held Dec.7, students listened to jazz music and talked among themselves about the past four months. Psychology Junior Jim Fix, found the high number of women at CSUSM to be "distracting." He said the maturity and drive of the older women students on the campus made the curriculum more challenging. "I've been beaten up (mentally) by women in class," said Fix. He said the female population on campus raised the intellectual quality of the university. "It was challenging, but rewarding," he said.

"I've never met so many people in college that I actually know," she said. Ramirez, who came from MiraCosta Community College said she found the curriculum challenging and with a good faculty. History major Joel Ravy, who transferred from Palomar College, said he thought the instructors at CSUSM had high expectations for their first class of students. "The change from Palomar, regarding the difficulty, of classes was significant," said Ravy.

Along with T-shirts, buttons and baseball caps with the likenesses of Bart and the Simpson family, watches, calculators and cassette r ecorders were snatched; The bookstore's Macintosh computer and software worth thousands of dollars, however remained untouched. Bookstore manager Deborah Meeker estimated the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. The theft occurred between 3 a.m. and 6:50 a.m. when the campus's security, Wells Fargo, was not on patrol.

The San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Company has been awarded an interim contract to replace the troubled Louetto. C.W. Poss, the grading subcontractor hired by Louetto to prepare the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. site for construction halted work for six weeks after Louetto failed to pay them for work completed on the project. College officials contacted Louetto's bonding company, Reliance Surety of Seattle, in an effort to resolve the dispute. Because the conflict remained unresolved by Oct. 31, Reliance informed the university that they could take over the project after Louetto's contract was terminated. CSUSM then fired Louetto, leaving the campus without a builder. On Nov. 9, Reliance announced the selection of Lusardi Construction Co. to resume the work on the campus. Lusardi began work on the project yesterday. College officials are hopeful that the delay will not postpone the fall 1992 opening of the permanent campus. Spanish Book Center opens As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents opened at CSUSM on Dec. 6. TheCenter,the only oneof its kind in the world, contains books in Spanish for children and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. The Center will host experts in the fields for lectures on Spanish books, and will hold Café literarios, informal discussions on the literature in the program. �TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEER NEWS UNIVERSITIES RUN TESTS AIDS study shows HIV infection rate I am often asked if we are seeing many cases of AIDS at Student Health Services. To my knowledge we have seen none from students from Cal State San Marcos, but at the main campus of San Diego State we have seen a small number of AIDS cases. In truth, until this week, we really did not know how many or what percentage of students test positive for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association revealed an HIV infection rate of 0.2 percent, or one in 500 college students. Nationally, it is estimated that between 25,000 and 35,000 college students are infected with HIV. The study was conducted at 19 colleges throughout the country using 16,863 blood samples drawn randomly from students who were seeking care for other reasons at student health centers. SDSU, USC and Cal Berkeley were part of the study. The results were not identified by university, so no school specific rates are known. Of the 19 colleges, positive results were found at nine schools, with 10 schools having no positive HIV tests. W e feel because of known HIV cases, that SDSU is likely to be one of the nine schools with positive HIV tests. In the study there were 30 positive tests with only two of them being in females. Therefore, the rate for men should be 5 percent and for women two-hundreths of 1 p ercent Rates for Caucasians, African Americans and Mexican Americans were similar but not meaningful, since the numbers of African Americans and Mexican FIRST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 previous school, Cal Poly Pomona.

These statistics present both good and bad news. The good news is that the rate of HIV infection is about what you might see in the general population and lower than the rates in highrisk groups such as homosexual males, IV drug users or people attending STD clinics. The bad news is that it exists and has the potential for serious spread in the campus community. We also knowriskybehaviors exist on campus due to the prevalence of other STDs and unwanted pregnancies. This information underscores the need to persuade college students to use condoms, limit the number of their sexual partners and otherwise reduce their risk of becoming infected. "Prevention of HIV infection through education and interventions to help develop and maintain safe behaviors that will reduce the risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission of all institutions of higher education," state the authors of the study.

S TAFF E DITORIAL MAC computes better for buyer For anyone considering the purchase of a home computer, now is a great time. In a marketfloodedwith choices, the shopper's first choice is still a simple one: whether to go to the Macintosh or the IBM corner. Fortunately, the software-that portion of the purchase that makes the beast do useful things-is now available for both arenas in equal supply. In other words, our first decision is not dictated by a dilemma of a few years ago, when business packages were usually written for the DOS (IBM genre) system, and graphics delivery was the MAC stronghold. Additionally, the synergistic combination of recession, Christmas season, and academic marketing make for more "bang-per-buck" than ever. For my money, there is still a clear winner in the final analysis from the perspective of the home or small business user: the MAC. Interestingly, my answer was opposite this conclusion just a few years ago, when, as I stated, the software supply was divided roughly in half. That era's entrenchment of IBM desktops and software just made the "big-blue" a logical ally for the business person. As is typical of the computer industry, those facts we could swear by yesterday are today's jokes. The MAC is quintessential this year's small user's wisest choice. Irresistible to the writer, consultant, and student is the Macintosh Classic for less than $800.00. This is perfect if the emphasis is on ease of learning and use. Simple, logical icons and menus provide direct and effective paths to final production of letters, reports (with graphics), lists-management (such as customer addresses), and financial analysis. If a lot of work is to be stored and recalled later, the MAC Classic can be purchased with an.internal 40 MegaByte Hard Drive (a vast electronic file cabinet) for only $1,195. This model includes twice the RAM memory, thereby expanding the choice of utilities (applications software) that can be incorporated. For the more sophisticated party, the Macintosh SE/30, with 40 MegaByte hard Drive, is a good investment at $2,295. The architecture (internal engineering and parts) is geared to crunch more numbers faster, and this translates to quicker response to commands, as well as more power automating business tasks, such as statistics and accounting. There are plenty of ports (extra plugs) to allow for expansion;bigger pictures; anchretfwarkmg.'Gveralk this is a safe, longterm solution to the d ata-management question as it arises in the s mall D AVID H AMMOND ofc st fi e e PIONEER OPINION EDITOR ^S- Finally, a somewhat over-simplified historical perspective is in order to fully describe and understand the MAC's current advantage in this price/application range. The DOS-driven personal computers are really relics in the stylistic evolution of the desktop. Designed by computer scientists in the early eighties, the environment reflects the code-intensive, cryptic parametrics of the mainframe/mini-computer models developed and marketed by IBM, DEC, and Hewlett Packard throughout the seventies. Steve Job's Apple computer company sought to build a new data world based on the paradigm that a larger percentage of the user population was ready to use the computer as a tool, automator, and decision system-provided that the interface (relationship) was a friendly one. Put differently, the writer wants to get out a novel, the consultant a report, and the accountant a spreadsheet, but none of them care how the job gets done. Hence, the mouseand-picture Macintosh exploded onto a vacuous market of ready-but-frustrated buyers. Two recent facts illustrate the depth of acceptance of the so-called mouse-and-icon design in desktop computers. Firstly, it is noteworthy that IBM hangs in the game with a new line of mouse-and-icon designs ala MAC. True to form, the conversion via the Windows software has its price: it takes up a lot of disk memory, and thereby increases initial outlay while detracting from usable applications. All we really need to know is that among users and MIS managers alike, Macintosh consistently rates higher in customer satisfaction, business performance, productivity, and connectivity ¿and lower in administrative and training costs (Diagnostic Research, Inc., March 1990 survey). Truly, the MACiwa* cheated ion ike wser^ a ; Obviously, with the exponential growth of CSUSM, crowds of shuffling students are expected. It wouldn't even be very shocking to find the future students of CSUSM confined to uncomfortable chairs. What would be alarming, is if the complacency plaguing other universities infects this new, idealistic campus. The Typhoid Marys infecting many of the colleges throughout the country are the companies that produce ready-made term papers complete with footnotes and bibliographies. These companies, through a catalog of available papers, will send completed reports to students for a fee. As a result students can submit professional papers to their unsuspecting instructors and glean above-average grades for below-average work. The only writing a student needs to do is filling out the envelope requesting the report. Most of these companies do not intend to encourage academic dishonesty, rather they produce these documents as aids to students writing complex research papers. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of such offerings and spoil the opportunities for others who would use the reports responsibly. Most students at CSUSM are unaware that such services exist, but other universities are vigilant in their combatting of the problem. Recently, The Daily Aztec was criticized by San Diego State University for printing ads placed by some of these term-paper-manufacturing businesses. Trying to prevent the problem of prefab term papers by attacking a newspaper's advertising policy is not the answer. The Daily Aztec does not advocate these services any more than they advocate the consumption of Budweiser Beer or Domino's Pizza. They are simply getting funds for their business. The solution to the problem lies with the policies of instruction by professors at CSUSM. At a university where writing in every course is a requirement, instructors should monitor the process in which papers are created. Some instructors already review papers during the stages of their construction. Rough drafts and note cards are required far before final drafts are due. In classes where multiple papers are due, a review of the first paper should be required. Such a program would minimize the use of prefab reports by students by familiarizing instructors with the works of their pupils. It should be expected in a school that requires a minimum of 10 written pages per course. In this age of computer modems, the availability of these ready-made papers will be increased. Soon a student will be able to gain access to a research paper over the telephone in minutes rather than days or weeks. It would be nice to think that CSUSM will remain the personal educational institution it is today forever, but such thoughts aren't realistic. With population growth, a depersonalization between a great portion of the student population will most likely fester. Hopefully professors will help their students grow in their writing abilities instead of watching them shrink with complacency. �UESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEEB ~ 0PlNI0N 7 Creating world peace starts at home PIONEER 250-2 S.

TINY TIM/from 'CHRISTMAS CAROL' Originally I was going to write about either the effects of mustard gas on the human body, or a simulated telephone conversation between Saddam Hussein and George Bush the night of Jan 14,1991. But then I remembered that this would be my last column before Christmas. And who can get into the holiday spirit reading about sloughed lung tissue, burned-out eyeballs and two morally bankrupt heads of state? So instead I'm ruminating over the much-talked-about commodity: World Peace. If almost everyone is in favor of it, why is it in much short supply? We can blame the international arms cartel which would go belly up if peace broke out. Or we can accuse the CIA, presently aiding or actively participating in more than 50 destabilization operations of third world governments. Or we can point the finger at religious/racial/ethic/tribal intolerance so popular around the globe. Or we can even blame world leaders impoverishing their countries by acting on the fatuous belief that wealth can be created with a printing press. But all of the above are merely symptoms of world turmoil. The true cause lies much closer than the sands of the MidEast. To misquote the old comic strip character, Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Peace, like charity and every other trait, begins at home. Until we each as individuals achieve peace, there is zero probability that the world is going to. A "Visual World Peace" bumper sticker on your car doesn't carry much weight if you grow apoplectic and homicidal when someone cuts you off on the freeway. If you go home after a peace march and berate your children or spouse, kick your dog and yell obscenities at the TV when an NFL referee makes a bad PIONEER STAFF WRITER call, I doubt if you'll soon risk deafness from the sounds of swords being beaten into plowshares. But true peace doesn't come just from treating others with respect. While we must always take responsibility for our actions, we need to also treat ourselves with equal doses of kindness and a sense of humor. That means consciously listening for the nagging voice within each of us that constantly tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, rich enough and whatever enough, and shutting it off. Then we need to replace that voice with self-praise and kindness for the small victories we achieve each day but never take credit for. I know you can do it. But will you? If you choose not to, world peace must forever remain a pipe dream. But if you take the "leap of faith" in yourself, who knows? Dan Quail may be teaching Hussein sand sculpture by Christmas. K EN CARTER Letters to the Editor Where is Ertirea? For the past three years, I wetit to Palomar College. Almost all the students I talked to asked me where I came from, and when I replied that I came from Eritrea, East Africa, almost all students would ask the questions, "Is that where Apartheid is?" "Where is Eritrea near to?" and s oon. Then I had to take the time to explain to the students that South Africa does not mean East Africa, knowing that when they heard Apartheid they also heard South Africa. At that time it really did not bother me so much, but it starts to bother me now since I transferred to CSU San Marcos because the same thing is happening. I know American media is not actively telling the American people where Eritrea is located, but once in a while the media brings some hungry kids and elderly men and woman from the Eritrea region, Ethiopia. I would like to tell the campus community where Eritrea is located and its background so that I wouldn't get the same responses that I have been getting from the Palomar College community. Eritrea is located in the horn of Africa with its boundaries to the west with Sudan, to the south with Ethiopia, to the east with the Red Sea, occupying about650 miles of miles and apopulation of 3.5 million. Letters Welcome PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs. Letters should be no longer than 250 words and be signed by the author with his/her phone number as a contact. Eritrea's historical background is marked by foreign aggressors and invaders like almost all African countries. After the Turks and Egyptians, the Italians invaded Eritrea in 1889 and succeeded their colonization until 1941 when they were defeated by the British forces. From 1941 until 1952, Eritrea was under British Administration. In 1950, contrary to the Eritrean people's demand for their independence, the United Nations resolved to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia. In 1952, the federation went into effect and the British forces left Eritrea. As soon as the federation went into effect, the Ethiopian government started to violate the federal arrangement and finally on Dec. 2, 1962, Ethiopia annexed Eritrea. Because of the terrorization and the oppression by the Ethiopians against the Eritreans, the Eritrean people started their struggle for selfdetermination against Ethiopian government in 1961. Since then, for almost three decades, Eritrea has been in war against Ethiopia. This is just a short introduction to where Eritrea is located and why I feel it is necessary that at least the college-educated people should be able to know about it. It is also important to know Eritrea is a historic country. It is historic because Eritrean people fought and are still fighting the longest and loneliest war in the world. So, since the United States is in the mood of liberating annexed countries, like Kuwait, I hope someday they will also be supportive to the Eritrean struggle for self-determination. When that moment comes, I guarantee that all the people who have never heard the word Eritrea will know exactly what it means. They will also know the difference between South Africa and East Africa because the media will be projecting the outcome of the long struggle of the Eritrean people. But for right now, since I am part of thè ' campus community and I am sure I will be asked where I came from, please be informed where exactly Eritrea is located so you don't get it mixed with Apartheid. G EZAI BERHANE/CSUSTUDENT Fee increase wrong I got mine. Did you? Now there's a financial hold on my university records. Sounds like academic blackmail to me. If you paid yours without a valid budgetary reason, shame on you. All CSU students got a non-detailed invoice notice that they had to pay additional fees. Fees that weren't previously disclosed. Mine amounted to $12, which was a part-time fee difference. If that explanation is good enough for you, I suppose you deserve to be cheated out of the price of a pepperoni pizza or tickets for two to the movies. I work hard for what little money I get. Without a good reason, why should I sacrifice my expendable income? I've already paid my fees. I thought I was paid in full. End of story, which leads to speculation. Why does the CS U system need a post mortem fee of $ 12 from each student in the CS U system ? For the 354,734 students currently enrolled, this amounts to $4,256,808. That's a lot of money! Maybe it was poor planning. Maybe it was unforeseen costs. Maybe it wasfiscalmismanagement or afinancialstatement error. The fact is that fiscal mistakes, those past and present, are passed along to those of us who are the most vulnerable to such an unwarranted assault. Twelve measly dollars might not seem like much, but if you're giving away money, please send it to me. At least I'm polite and I can give you a good reason why I need it. K EVIN HAUMSHILT/QSU$TJUOENT �8 E XPIO PIONEER/TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990 Tree shopping poses complex problems Children share Christmas wishes K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER PIONEER For adults, Christmas is a time to gather with family and friends and share holiday cheer. One of the greatest joys for adults is seeing the reactions and hearing the meaning of the holiday through children. Cal State San Marcos student Debbi Ricketts talked to children at the YMCA preschool to find their views of the holiday. For some children, Christmas means snow and snowmen. Others find the joy of Christmas in the gifts. Still others are unsure of exactly what Christmas is. • "Christmas means to have snow, presents and a big army truck," says 4-year-old Kevin. • Mark, also age 4, says, "Christmas means the snow and a snowman." • "Christmas means I will dress up for Halloween and play Leggos," said Paul, age 3, who had some obvious confusion in holidays. "All I want for Christmas is Leggos." • Camielle, age 4, says, "Snow and Baby Bubbles, that's all Christmas is." • Four-year-old Danny says, "Christmas is snow, but it never snows here. It only snows at my grandma and grampa's house." • Victor, age 4, also thinks the meaning of Christmas lies in snow. He says, however that the lack of snow won't stop the jolly, old elf himself from coming to his house. "I have a chimney in my house and Santa Claus comes down it and gives me lots of toys." • "Christmas is lots of snow and we eat lots of stuff, lots of candy," said Mallory, age 3. "I would like a ring and a new jacket. I will make cookies for Santa Claus," she said. Another CSUSM student asked members of a nearby Cub Scout troop to share their impressions of the holiday season. These children found religious significance in the holiday, but still were primed for the spirit of giving. Many of those interviewed wanted video game systems. • Others, like 4-year-old Cindy, find Christmas to be a simple holiday. "On Christmas I go get , my tree and decorate it. That's i t? r • Jamie, age 12, says, "Christmas is all about giving. Presents are important, but i f's most of all food." Jamie only asks for one gift this year, "I want a CD player." • Ten-year-old Matt sees a religious significance in the season. "Christmas is Jesus's birthday. My favorite part is opening presents. I want a Nintendo game.' • "Christmas is giving, sharing and loving," says 10-year-old Shane. "I like it when we get the Decisions! Decisions! Decisions! The Christmas season is filled with decisions! Like what to buy for Aunt Betty, or whether to serve pumpkin or cherry pie; but who would have thought that one of the most time-consuming decisions I would face this holiday season would involve the selection of a Christmas Tree. The problems began with the explicit contradictory directions my family gave me on what type of tree should grace our living room. My daughter wanted a tall, thin tree for the corner. My husband wanted a short, fat tree that would fit on top of a coffee table, and my sons wanted a tall thick tree to go in the front window (the type where most of the living room furniture is pre-empted to the garage to make room for the tree). Full of all these helpful instruction, I drove to the Christmas Ttee Store, a live "tag now and cut later" Christmas tree lot in Valley Center. I had allowed myself about a halfhour to pick out the tree. Upon arriving at the lot I thought that thirty minutes was more than enough time, for there were beautiful pines everywhere I looked. Ron and Oshia Zace, owners of the Christmas Tree Store, provide the tree shoppers with white PVC pipe marked with bright red tape at one foot intervals. The pipe helps guarantee that someone doesn't buy a 10-foot tree for an eight-foot living room. The only problem I found with the pole, other than feeling like a knight carrying a standard into battle, is that the terrain in Valley Center is less than flat. The Zace's Christmas Trees Store is not an exception to the rule. I found that hilly slopes pretree up. sented a unique problem. Where I want a Genesis game and do 1 put the measuring pole?

It wasn't long before I found a likely-looking tree. I circled it two or three times, like a dog looking for a place to nap, checking for hard to hide holes. My attention was diverted by this voluptuous looking green beauty two rows up and five trees over. And so it went as I hiked up and down the hills, being continually called by the tree in the next row. After four hours, not the allotted thirty minutes, of meandering through 20 acres of green beauties, brandishing my measuring pole, I finally made my decision. I think I picked out a tree about six feet tall and six feet in diameter, with a straight back, evenly trimmed branches, and a heart and soul. Ripping off the bottom of the tree ticket, I started back to the Santa barn to pay for my prize tree. Of course, I had picked a tree at the far end of the acreage so that I had to walk through rows and rows of pines to get to the sales counter.

Below is a list of local productions of this Charles Dickens' fable; other holiday shows listings follow: ELAINE WHALEY/PlONEER The San Diego Repertory Theatre's current adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic'A Christmas Carol', is a surprisingly original production the entire family will enjoy. Rousing music, amusing choreography and the unexpected ethnic diversity of the cast combine in this sometimes humorous, sometimes dramatic and always entertaining production. Though D ickens's original novel is closely followed, a few modern twists have been successfully added. The setting of the opening scene is a vacant lot and the characters are a group of conHOLIDAY temporary transients. A fascinating duality HAPPENINGS of character occurs when these homeless people are transformed into the familiar Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Crachit, Tiny Tim and the various spirits of Christmas that populate the Dickens novel. The use of this device illustrates the obvious metaphor; the poor in the alley of 19th-century London are clearly the same disadvantaged who populateourparkbenchesandvacantlots. Their world hasn't changed all that much. We are invited to self-examination in a cheerfully entertaining way. Many of the comic moments in this production result when the transients fall out of their Dickens characters. Few of these opportunities for buffoonery were left unexplored by the cast. Leon Singer plays the miserly Scrooge and brings the character from his initial moral bankruptcy into eventual redemption with convincing fervor. Richard Allen makes a comic black Ghost of Christmas Present with an unforgettable singing voice. The Ghost of Christmas past, Helen Reed Lehman, haunts Ebenezer Scrooge, Leon Singer, in the San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of 'A Christmas Carol.' Kory Abosada, who play Tiny Tim, is a talented 10-year-old from San Diego School of Creative and performing Arts. Although his one short song was obviously difficult for him, it was manfully rendered. Acting and dancing are definitely his strong suits. Thomas Buderwitz designed a set which coped imaginatively with the restrictive dimensions of the Lyseum Stage and managed to convey a sense of 19th-century England using materials available to street people. Some changes occurred onstage without interrupting the flow of action, due in part to some inventive lighting design by John B. Foibes. Currently playing at the Lyseum Stage in Horton Plaza, the show runs through Dec. 23. Tickets range from $15 to $25 depending upon the day and time of the show. In the spirit of Christmas and as part of the Rep's holiday program for disadvantaged and shelter families, patrons are urged to bring unwrapped gifts to each performance. There will be distributed at a special benefit performance on Dec. 19. Broadcasters, performers organize toy drive In conjunction with San Diego Repertory Theatre's annual production of Charles Dickens's 4 A Christmas Carol,' theREPandKFMB Channel 8 will sponsor "A Magic Christmas" for hundreds of children of San Diego's shelter Horton Plaza or to Channel 8 at 7677 Engineer Road. These gifts will be distributed to children and families invited to a special performance of 'A Christmas Carol' on Dec. 19 followed by a families. reception. " ... we learned last year that these children Throughout the performance o f 4 A Christmas Carol,' patrons are encouraged to bring a new and families are the ones who need that special unwrapped gift to the REP's Lyceum Theatre in gift of love because they can't go home," said Channel 8 Public Affairs Director Maria Velasquez, "there is something wrong - violence or neglect" Among the organizations which will be included in the "Magic Christmas" program are; Hillcrest Receiving Home, S t Vincent de Paul, Casa de Amparo, Hidden Valley House, Southeast Emergency Quarters, Project Safehouse and Casa de Paz.

Hughes, with his he puts aside some of his childhood needs and sugar-coated messages, has come up with yet trades them for a shopping cart and a laundry another sickeningly sweet morsel with his latest basket. He shows himself that he is not the venture, 'Home Alone.' helpless baby his family believes him to be. The film's predictable plot leaves precocious The funniest part of the movie comes when a 8-year-old Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, pair of Mutt and Jeff burglars (Joe Pesci and accidentally stranded at home while his family Daniel Stern) attempt to rob Kevin's fortress. jets off to Paris. For 10 minutes, the boy pits his wits against the For Kevin, the opportunity to be master of the criminals and wins hilariously. Discovering the house affords him the chance to live in child- clever traps set by Kevin is almost worth the hood heaven. He shovels down massive ice price of admission. cream sundaes while watching gangster movies As Kevin, Culkin is addictingly cute, but, in and sliding down the stairs on a toboggan. the hands of Director Chris Columbus ('The LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Goonies'), this cuteness is a bit overplayed. Close-ups of Kevin screaming after he puts on after-shave or sees the mysterious man next door, are far too frequent to be effective. Even so, Culkin plays his part with a childish zest that is a joy to watch. In Culkin we see a new leading man that the under-8 crowd can look up to. He is cute, independent and more intelligent than most of the adults in the film. Any child under 12 will see Kevin as a hero who lives out all their fantasies and doesn't suffer retribution. Pesci and Stern give adequate performances as the bumbling burglars as do John Heard and Catherine O'Hara as Kevin's undersighted parents. Wholesale Rob Reiner directs suspense in Misery' SUNGLASSES BONUS DISCOUNT I HI A O / ° OPEN TO THE PUBLIC • WHY PAY RETAIL? J ONATHAN YOUNCyPIONEER Ann Wilkes stands up straight and settles her weight on the back of her heals. She has just finished a task and tells her new guest that she loves him. The guest, novelist Paul Randall, screams in pain, because her task was to crush his ankles with a sledge hammer. The hobbling, as she called her task, is the only terror that Kathy Bates' character casts on her guest in 'Misery.' The new Stephen King bookturned-movie has strong suspense to its advantage, but the final terror lets the audience down in comparison. James Caan plays the best-selling novelist that is saved by Ann Wilkes after a car crash during a snow storm. It's immediately known that Wilkes is Randall's number one fan and he's alive because she's a nurse. A normal relationship is established, characters are developed, and Randall's wound begins to heal. The tables turn when Bates' character reads the latest 'Misery' book, the last in the series of books that gave Randall his fame. In this book, the main character is killed to finally conclude the lengthy succession. The number one fan is now pissed off. The tension and suspense grows as Wilkes forces Randall to write a new book, reviving 'Misery's' character. Wilkes' past crimes, insanity and terror now slowly become known. With the great build up and superb acting by both Caan and Bates, the expectation isn't met. There is no release, no climax; it was a let down. The final scenes however, might move the fastest and have the most audience response. It is in thespjilm frames that Caan' s character reips his own horror on his capture. Going into further detail here, however, will give the ending away. Bob Reiner traverses the directing chasm from comedy to this horror film. The path probably wasn't easy as evident in some scenes, but it definitely can be considered a success. Caan has a rather easy role, due to his physical immobility from the accident. This restrains his performance to dialog and facial expressions which he accomplishes with the ease of an accomplished actor. Fairly new to the big screen, Bates gave a fantastic performance in the more difficult role. She had to be convincingly nice and sweet, a true fan, but she also had to able to put terror into hervictim. Her acting shines bright and she gains the spotlight as the best performer in the show. Overall, 'Misery' is recommended because of a skillful suspense development and superb acting and directing. Even thought the film dons the title of 'horror show,' however, don't expect a lot of blood and guts or a lot of dramatic climax. OVSSi ^ ' w i Will MATCH A N f ^ ADvansfconucE > ^ ,C ^ ^ é ^ ^ «-tA^ W^T^AI ^ John Williams offers a whimsical score that captures the spirit of an 8-year-old. Once again he proves himself to be the master at writing movie scores. Even with Columbus's direction the film is unmistakenly earmarked as a John Hughes project It is filled with those gooey, sentimental messages about the American family that have clouded other Hughes movies like 'The Breakfast Club' or 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' 'Home Alone' is a mildly entertaining cute movie with basically only 10 funny minutes. If you're home alone for the evening, you're better off with a good book. If you're stuck with the kids for the night, 'Home Alone' is much better entertainment than 'Family Ties' reruns. Receive An I I m / g g ^ F Additional | %Jf / y p Our Already super low prices.

Wilson's budget proposal, released last month, would allocate $2.14 billion for the CSU system. Even though thefigure represents an increase of $882,000over this year's appropriations,itdoes not absorb an expected growth of 7,500 students and mandated spending hikes totaling over $100 million. According to the Chancellor's Office, CSU needs$2.23 billion to maintain the level of instruction and services currently offered. The budget would create a shortfall in operating revenues of about $90 million. "This is a disastrous budget," said Acting ChancellorEllis McCune. "We understand that the state is in a majorfinancialcrisis, but this budget is going to make it very difficult for us to carryout our mission. " Even though CSU officials speculate that the frugal budget will Tuition hike won't affect financial aid adversely affect the quality of education throughout the system, CSUSM President Bill Stacy said repercussions from the governor's budget will not be as severe here as at other institutions/ "Our strongest hunch is that there will not be (a curtailment of hiring new faculty); we've got to move forward," Stacy said. He did indicate, however, that student services will not develop as quickly, should the Governor's budget be implemented. Extra-curricular activities, such as sports, might be held back in their vitalization due to lack of funds. Stacy indicated that students have been "remarkably tolerant" of attending classes in a shopping center atmosphere and having limited student activities. Where other campuses will receive cuts in their 1991-92 budgets, CSUSM's piece of the budgetary pie will continue to grow. "They've taken good care of us again for this next year," said Stacy, "Generally speaking, they took the current 1990-91 budget from the other 19 campuses and cut it a b it Our campus will have a bigger budget for 91-92 and they'll cut from our bigger budget. We'll grow SEE BUDGET/PAGE 4 Proposed Fee Increase LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER While college officials worry over how to supplement funding for Cal State San Marcos should GovernorPeteWilson's proposed budget be implemented, the Office of Financial Aid encourages students, now more than ever, to take advantage of available grant and loan programs. Ac cording to Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy students can still get full funding for their education at the university, despite a proposed 20 percent increase in tuition. "One of the worst things we can do is to scare needy students away," Phillips said. "It appears to us that there is a strong commitment in the State of California to enable needy students to go to our higher education institutions." Students now receiving financial aid and new recipients are protected from the possible tuition hike, said Phillips, because both kinds of aid available are designed to cover all or part of the fees. He said Wilson's budget does not ignore thefinancialstrain a fee increase could place upon needy students. "At this point in the Governor's budget, he put funds in to increase both of those awards (Cal Grant and State University •YEARLY TUITION COSTS J O N A T H A N YOUNG/PIONEER Grants) by the amount of the fee increase," said Phillips. The Governor's budget also has stipulations to accommodate increased recipients. Fees for students taking six units or less willriseby $90 per year, while those taking more than six units will have to pay $ 154 a more annually in tuition, said Phillips. Due to the high-level publicity the hikehas received,Phillips anticipates more students to file for aid. Since eligibility for aid is contingent not only upon in- come, but the cost of education as well, Phillips guesses that the percentage of students able to receive financial aid will rise by "maybe 5 percent" Rising costs would also mean that students now eligible for loans may be qualified to receive more money than at present A student now eligible for $1,500 in loans may be qualified for $2,000 should the increase be implemented. The maximum amount a student may qualify for is $4,000.

WRITING CENTER OPENS Students wishing help in writing term papers, essays or other reports can find it at CSUSM's new writing center. The writing center is designed to help students define ideas for papers. Students should bring notes, rough drafts and assignments useful in writing their papers to the workshop. Dr. Ken Mendoza, who heads the center, stresses that the purpose of the center is not to create papers for students, rather, it is designed to help students form their ideas and put them down on paper. The center is located in Building 135 next to the Center for Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. It is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. LIBRARY SHUTTLE AVAILABLE Students needing access to the San Diego State University Love Library canfindfast and easy transportation with a new courier service offered by the CSUSM and SDSU North County Library. The shuttle service runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. It also departs Fridays at 8 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. Return trips from the Love Library depart at 11 ajiïu 2:45 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and at 10:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Fridays. Since seating is limited, students must sign up for both their departing and return trips at the CSUSM-SDSU North County Library's reception desk no more than one week in advance. The shuttle picks students up at the front door of the campus library. Two new majors added; academic plan revised L ARRY B OISJOUE and M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER Despite the addition of two new degree programs at Cal State San Marcos for fall 1991, officials in the CSU Chancellor's Office have requested revisions to the college's fiveyear Academic Master Plan. In January, CSUSM Executive VicePresidentRichardRush, sent the proposed Academic Master Plan for the university's first five years to the Chancellor's Office. In the plan, Rush asked for the addition of three degree programs for the fall of 1991. Of the three, Economics and Political Science were approved, while Computer Science was rejected. "We have serious questions about whether a BS in Computer Science implemented in 1991 could meet either Trustee quality criteria or national professional accreditation guidelines," wrote Sally Casanova, Dean of Academic Affairs and Plans of the Chancellor's Office. In the letter, Casanova questioned the ability of CSUSM to provide facilities to support such a program at this early stage in the campus' development "The campus is apparently planning to begin offering the major nearly two years before the earliest date that the facilities to support the program can be in place," Casanova wrote. Before a program in Computer Science can be implemented by CSUSM, it must be approved by both the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) and the Chancellor's Office. Casanova said it is unlikely that CSUSM would be able to draft a proposal acceptable to both bodies by fall 1991. According to the letter, CPEC doesn't see the need at this time for any additional programs in Computer Science statewide. "We're disappointed that we're not able to offer that major," said Victor Rocha, to the University Council last Thursday. "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise." The Computer Science program remains in the college's 10-year Academic Master Plan with no specific date of its implementation. Casanova proposed that the uni- versity'sfive-yearAcademic Master Planbeextendedto 10 years given the large number of proposals submitted and the long lead time required in budgeting for them. "The number of degree majors which the University proposes to implement by 1995 is rather substantial for a campus of 2,400 Full Time Equivalent students, but quite reasonable for the enrollment level which will probably be attained by 2000," Casanova cited. The 10-year plan can be modified annually to meet the demands of the changing student population. "Things that are going to influence the theme of the campus have to do with student pressure and student push," Rocha said to the University Council. He also pointed out to the Council that the community-at-large will also be integral in the formation of programs at CSUSM. The forthcoming Scripps medical complex, to be built adjacent to the CSUSM permanent campus, might influence some future SEE MAJORS/PAGE 4 Indian quill boxes display tradition K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Before her death a year ago, Mathilda Allison preserved her Indian tradition by creating boxes decorated with porcupine quills. The birch bark boxes and sweet grass baskets have been shown all over the United States and now are on display in the CSUSM, SDSU North County Library. Allison was born in Good Heart Michigan, an Ottawa Indian village, to a German father and Indian mother. She spent her earliest years with the elders of the tribe learning the Ottawa language and traditional Indian values. "The elders of the tribe considered her a full-blooded Indian," explained Harold Allison, Mathilda's husband of many years. "She didn't belong to the younger group." Allison's husband is allowing his collection of her artwork to be enjoyed by many people. Lind& Locklear, the Indian Studies chair at Palomar College, set up the display in the library. Isabella Ramage, Allison' s mother, was also a quillwork artist. She taught her daughter the intricacies of quill- work. As a child, Allison helped earn money by selling her quillwork. Moving to California she put her traditional Indian artwork on hold while she studied for a Liberal Arts degree. When she married Harold Allison, the newly weds moved onto 40 acres of virgin California brush land, near Murietta Hot Springs. Their house was built from rock by Mathilda's own two hands; she built all of the cabinets, windows, doors and everything necessary to make a home. Harold still lives in this house and expects to be there until he dies. Working with her hands and building her own home brought back remembrances of her Indian tradition. In 1976 she started her quillwork again. Once a year, Allison would return to her ancestral home in Michigan and collect birch bark and sweet grass. It is easiest to peel the bark off of the trees in June through August. The bark is allowed to dry for two weeks and then is scrubbed with beach sand. The unscrubbed bark turns a burnished red. The boxes on display in the library use the red bark on the inside and the white bark on the out- side. The sweet grass, so known because it maintains its soft sweet smell after drying, is used to bind the edges of the birch bark boxes. Allison was adept at making small, well designed sweet grass baskets, some of which she decorated with her quillwork. 4 The Indians from Mathilda's home village would collect winter porcupine quills for her. The verigated natural color of the quill from white to dark brown is used in most of her designs. Some of the quills she dyed to form multicolored artwork. A porcupine has over30,000quills up tofiveinches long and as thick as an eighth of an inch. The women pulled out the quills from the dead porcupine, sorting them by size, and washing and drying them. After the bark is scrubbed and bleached therightcolor, Allison would use a leather awl, called a "magoosa" in the Ottawa language, to punch small holes. The quills were threaded through the holes. "Quillwork was her pride and joy." explained her husband. "She didn't SEE QUILL/PAGE 4 �MAJORS Atkinson scholarship awarded This year's Ina Mae Atkinson Scholarship was awarded to Barbara Jass, an art education major attending SDSU, North County. The Ina Mae Atkinson Scholarship is awarded each year to a North County re-entry woman. This scholarship was established in 1988 and was the first one established for SDSU North County; this year's eligibility to apply included re-entry women from CSUSM as well. The scholarship donor, Marie Bradley, established this scholarship to assist women who are not the traditional college age, most of which are women re-entering the academic setting after having raised families or having experienced a break in their college education. Many of these students are part time students and financial aid and other assistance programs are not always available to them.

Other degree programs in the Academic Master Plan questioned by the Chancellor's Office are Statistics, American Studies, Humanities, Women'sStudiesandReligiousStudies. Casanova suggested that statewide demand for these programs does not necessitate the formation of separate academic departments. "Because American Studies, Humanities and Women's Studies can be offered without creating new departments and investing substantial resources, we are prepared to leave them on the plan for now, but suggest that their priority be reviewed in the coming year," Casanova cited. "The projections in Statistics and QUILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 do it to make money, but to keep up the (Indian) tradition." Indian women have been decorating with porcupine quills since before the white man settled the Americas. Before the European traders introduced glass beads, porcupine quill artwork was used to beautify their life. In the old days some of the quills would be colored using vegetable dyes like blackberry juice or bloodroot. Before the quills could be worked into the design they were moistened by soaking in water, or more often, AID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 " A lot of our students, unfortunately are at the $4,000 level now. If fees go up, they can't go any higher than $4,000," cited Phillips. If an increased number of students receive loans, Phillips doesn't anticipate a high rate of default as a consequence. Due to its newness, CSUSM currently has a default rate of 0 percent. The national rate of students defaulting on loans is 11 percent, while the nearby Palomar Community College hovers somewhere around 20 percent. "Studies show an inverse relationship between how much loan a student takes out and the likelihood to default," said Phillips. Part of the reason for this is because graduate students, who generally take out larger loans, are more apt to find employment after receiving Religious Studies, which had not previously been discussed, are more difficult to justify in terms of student need and demand." Those State Universities that offer degrees in these programs have historically shown low enrollments. For instance, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has had an average of 36 Statistics majors over the past five years. San Luis Obispo's program contains the highest number of S tatistics majors in the CSU system. Casanova suggested that those majors be offered as options within other departments' degree programs. Religious Studies, for example, might be offered as an option within the Philosophy Department If sufficient demand is demonstrated, thqse disciplines could be expanded to separate degree programs. Currently there are nine degree programs offered at CSUSM. the women moistened the sharp quills in their mouth as they worked. Allison used traditional Indian artwork, like geometric designs and elements in nature, to decorate her boxes. She also quilled a birch bark box with a picture of Leonardo De Vinci's Last Supper. At a show in Casa Grande, she was offered $3,800 for this one piece. Allison taught Locklear and her daughters how to embroider with porcupine quills. "My fingers would get all bloody when I first started," stated Locklear. "It takes a lot of patience, you can't be hasty." Locklear went on to say that her daughters were a lot faster to pick up the skill than she was. degrees. Phillips said the maturity of the student population at CSUSM and counseling for loan recipients should keep default rates low in the future. Since the announcement of the proposed hike last month, Phillips said that no students have yet come asking about the increase. "As soon as I heard about it, I came in and immediately called Sacramento and the Chancellor's office to get updated on it myself because I expected the phone to startringing,"he cited. Phillipssaidtheproposedincrease is the largest in terms of dollars he has ever seen. "In my memory theie'sneverbeen one this big," he said. "It's got to be the biggest dollar increase ever." Phillips stresses the March 2 deadline for students wishing to file for financial aid. He said aid will still be granted after that date, but the chances of receiving significant amounts passes after the deadline. �CAFFEINE EFFECTS Studys' results undetermined Caffeine is the most widely used drug in our society. While most of us consume caffenated beverages, we rarely stop to consider that we are actually taking a drug that has powerful physiological effects on multiple body systems. There must be some reason why 53 percent of all American adults drink at least one cup of coffee in the morning. The reason is caffeine, in small to modest doses, causes a decrease in drowsiness, a more rapid reaction time, an increase in mental acuity and overall feelings and actions consistent with stimulation. Voluntary muscles under the influence of caffeine are less susceptible to fatigue and there is an enhanced capacity for work. Effects in the cardiovascular system include an increase in heart rate, a decrease in blood flow to the brain and a slight increase in blood pressure. As we all know, caffeine increases the production of urine by the kidneys, and is likely to increase the volume as well as the level of acidity in the stomach. The problem is that even in modest amounts, caffeine can worsen preexisting medical and physiological problems. For example, there is evidence that people with pre-existing anxiety problems, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, have a marked increase in symptoms with even small amounts of caffeine. In addition, caffeine can increase symptoms in people with stomach ulcers and/or the so-called irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, caffeine consumption may be a major contributor to some forms of insomnia. Excessive, repeated heavy intake of caffeine can cause persistent feelings of anxiety and tension, irritability and a feeling of inability to handle stressful situations. It frequently causes sleep disturbances and often causes chronic fatigue.

People respond to the heroic coverage of Cable News Network (CNN), while some ask if the media has gone too far. Two main problems seen in the media is the possible propaganda coming out of Baghdad and American's strong desire to not be censored. These two complaints are not the focus of this editorial - propaganda is expected OUR VIEWS PIONEER STAFF Affirmative action may be meritless General Colin Powell is America's most powerful black due to his commission as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a position of enormous prestige. Interestingly, he rose to this pinnacle in a process that refutes the race relations policies of both the Democratic and Republican parties. In this respect, General Powell's rise forces use to re-examine our nation's strategy for achieving racial equality. General Powell has stated publicly that he joined the service nearly 40 years ago "to get a job." He readily adds that for blacks at the time, private sector opportunities were slim due to discrimination. The military, on the other hand, was desegregating faster than civilian society. Throughout the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, Powell held the readiness of courage and intelligence that makes great leaders. The command's structure of the American military, our nation's first truly color-blind institution, rewarded his value with recognition and promotion. Now he is the chief architect and general manager of America's most ambitious project since landing men on the moon: the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait. Already his command is credited for the Allied's early advantage, while his career is destined for more greatness. An important purpose of promoting racial equality throughout society is to maximize the production of Colin Powell types, regardless of color. In other words, equal opportunity is good business for the country, and our costs in lost geniuses alone - much less other costs - must be stemmed. But the Colin Powell story illustrated two seemingly contradictory points. Firstly, discrimination must be abolished. Secondly, affirmative action may be meritless. Today a disproportionately high percentage of blacks joining the volunteer services proves that little has changed in civilian society since General Powell made a likewise decision four decades ago. There is no better explanation than to admit that economic opportunity is less available to black America than white America on a whole. In this respect, the Republican party's continued denial of racial inequality serves to merely prolong the tragedy. As stated, military hierarchy was the first beneficiary of desegregation, but the ensuing Political Correctness movement, and its promotion of affirmative action, was unpersuasive to the Pentagon. Advancement in the military results from performance primarily, notauotas. Liberal policies have not been successful at narrowing the economic chasm between whites and Blacks. The first decade of affirmative action has seenaworseningof all key indicators: the black homicide, dropout, imprisonment, and unemployments rates arerising,while black America's income is dropping in comparative terms. Surely the DemPIONEER COLUMNIST ocrats-and black leaders - cannot blame middle white America for its disenchantment with the tyranny of Political Correctness. The designed effect of Political Correctness is torighta wrong. Minorities have suffered under-representation and oppression, and so a program to counter privileges is established for the underprivileged: hiring quotas, grant and scholarships programs, etc. Unfortunately, this makes minorities dependent on mandated societal reforms to achieve self-improvement. Furthermore, any system based on racial consciousness can hardly be trusted to achieve anything but more resentment and division. It is useful to revisit the military's strident color blindness while formulating a new solution to racial inequality. Middle-whiteAmerica backlash against affirmative action is rising precisely because it is sown not to perpetuate a policy of indifference to color amidst equal opportunity. While Affirmative action has proven to be counter productive, opposition to discrimination should remain vigilant/Legitimate suits must be handled expediently andrigorously,and that warrants establishing a fast-track legal procedure to hear and try allegations of unfairness. Bigots must be prosecuted in earnest. We cannot return to an era of inaction; their problem will not eradicate by market forces solely. Public policy deserves periodic review. While most Americans desire racial harmony, everyone must be willing to honestly examine the effectiveness of the solutions. When a system is not working, it should be fixed, not maintained in the interest of Political Correctness. This worsens the plight of the people we seek to help. The plethora or young blacks joining the military proves that economic opportunities are still unequally distributed, and all indicators of societal advancement verify that the situation is growing worse, despite decades of affirmative action. Ironically, America's most powerful black, General Colin Powell, is a product of a colorblind Military establishment Clearly, the correct cure needs to be less political , _ s. 4 ^ t DAVID HAMMOND EDITORIAL and censorship is justified in a war setting - the goal here is to show theflagwaving patriots of this country that we must give up some of our first amendmentrightsto win this war. War and propaganda go hand in hand, whether it be a large fight between several countries or a battle between two people. Sadam Hussein might be the greatest creator of a large deal of propaganda in all of history. It's a reporters main goal to determine therightfrom the wrong, truthfrompropaganda. Peter Arnett, CNN's Baghdad-based reporter, has been accused of not following these journalism standards. It's Hussein, however, that prevents Arnettfromseeing both sides of the story, which hinders him as a journalist. The censors in Baghdad, too, hinder Arnett as well as other censors in other Middle East countries as well as the United States government. People here are amazingly mad about this is infringing on their freedom to speech and press. What hypocrite. Where were they when the Supreme Court revoked that samerightaway from high school journalists in 1988 or when the CSU Chancellor's office started their attempt to prohibit university newspapers from running certain advertisements? These examples are home town cases where American support should be; this is where the United States Bill of Rights has supreme reign. These cases, however, are nowhere near the problems at hand that has Americans all aflutter. It's doubtful that Hussein will follow the provisions outlined in our constitution, especially since he's not adhering to the Geneva Convention guidelines that his country agreed to. It's time to suck in our pride and let the government carry out its secret and confidential missions and not let ourrightto know help Husseinfightthis war. If there's one thing that could be carried overfromthe Vietnam war, a conflict that Am erica is not trying to copy, it is the news coverage. During that war, there were seven reporters. There are over 700 journalists covering this battle; even the small local newspapers like the Escondido Times Advocate and the Oceanside Blade Citizen send reporters to the Persian Guif. Reporters have always played an integral part in American society, referred to by some as the fourth branch of government with its checks and balance capability, but now it must stay out of the way of the U.S. government and let them do their job. That mission, among international affairs in this Persian Gulf War, is to bring the men and women fight this war home safe. Thefreedomswe so proudly defend aren't followed p other pountries. Don't expect that to change now. �Protesting: an American freedom E DITORS N OTE: It is Pioneer's policy not to print letters over 250 words.

SAMUEL JOHNSON Inresponse to the staff editorial in the Feb. 5 issue of Pioneer (War protests only harm soldiers), I would like to offer a slightly different set of points about the conflict in the Persian Gulf. They say the first casualty of war is truth, but the untruths and misconceptions about what is going on in the Middle East started long before the war. In fact they started shortly after World War II, when the British, who up until that time' had been the occupiers of Palestine decided to "give" the Israelis a homeland. I don't think any American in good conscience deny that the Holocaust was one of history's darkest pages, and that it seemed only just that these people who had suffered as much at the hands of Hitler and his henchmen should have a land of their own where they could feel safe and do what they needed to do to try and prevent a repeat of that horror. The problem was and is that the British just abandoned the Palestinians, who had no real defense of their own, and they have been living as second-class Citizens in what they consider their own land for over 40 years now. Yes, but the real issue is Saddam Hussein, Right? After all, this "lunatic" had the unmitigated gall to take over Kuwait (which incidentally had been separated from Iraq in the first place by a British oil interest in order to ensure that the incredibly rich oil fields located in that region would remain available to the west) and probably has "Hitleresque" plans to take over the entire region. Well, Iran immediately protested to taking over of Kuwait, as did Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and most of the emerate, not to mention most nations outside the region. Before the Arab nations and Iran had an opportunity to react, however, in comes the mighty United States,fightingfor truth, justice and the American Way, there with the intention to bring stability to the region. The stability is like throwing a match on a pile of kindling to ensure stability. It is our unbelievable ethnocentricity that once again has got us into a mess. How could we possibly leave so important a task as dealing with Saddam Hussein's imperialism to the people who know him best? How could we ever believe that the knowledge of the indigenous populations and leaders could know better than us how to best handle this situation? Well thatrightthere shows how ignorant they are! What's not to YOUR VIEWS LETTERS TO PIONEER like? Just because we have allowed Israel to get away with treating Palestinians the same way the apartheid government in South Africa treats Blacks? Well, all of the Palestinians are crazy terrorists, right? When Israel bombs "terrorist encampments" in Lebanon (we never question Israel's definition of what is and isn't a terrorist encampment; however, it has been verified that often they are just random groups of Palestinian civilians) and detains Palestinians in prison for years without charging them with anything, that's Okay because they're not like us; they don't have children they love and have dreams for, old people they revere and look after, idealistic? young men and women trying to figure a way to make the world a better place. Oh yes. Yes they do. There is no doubt in my mind that the United States' intervention in the Middle East will cause problems of such proportion that we will not see the end of them in our lifetimes. More and more Arabs are turning away from the coalition and toward support for Hussein, not because he is such a great guy, but because he represents to them the only person of any power who at least has some understanding of their needs and wishes. It never seems to get through to the American people that even when citizens of other countries have the opportunity to be more like us, they may not jump at the chance. What most modern Arabs are looking for is a way to deal with the modern world, to use technology and modernization to improve their way of life without losing their sense of cultural identity. When the people of many of these countries look at America, they don't see what we see. We see waves of amber grain, they see waves of homeless and poverty stricken people with little or no health care (Iraqis enjoy 100 percent free medical services). We see bright, idealistic young people waiting to make their way in the world, they see the highest per capita rates of teen suicide, and a drug and alcohol problem ravaging the nation, from professional people to innocent babies born drug addicted. We see ourselves is some sort of ongoing soft drink commercial, singing and playing games together and laughing, while they see the highest homicide rate in the world, along with another almost exclusively American phenomenon, serial killers. Who has the most distorted view of us? As I sit here and write this, I can feel the blood of some people boiling.

That's the problem, or one of them, right there. In the 60s, it was considered unpatriotic to protest the war; therightsthat we're supposedly fighting for in Kuwait (which was never anything even close to a democracy, by the way and very anti-western - are not fashionable to exercise here. The staff editorial says in effect that while our men and women arefightingfor therightof the Kuwaitis, we ought to shut up and not say anything so as not to offend the troops. Why is it perfectly Okay for our sons and lovers, to go to the other side of the world to fight for the freedoms of the people we neither understand nor ever paid any mind to, but exercising those same freedoms at home is unacceptable? This nonsense that the pro-war factions keep throwing out about "whether you agree with the war or not, support the troops" makes no sense whatever. What could be moré supportive than to work for their safe return, and a sane, negotiated peace? Wrapping ourselves in the flag and burying our heads in the sand is the most dangerous position we can take. That "America, love it or leave it" attitude is one of the reasons it took so long to discover we had no winning position in Vietnam. It's also one of thereasons the Savings and Loan fiasco hasfinanciallydevastated us, perhaps irreparably. And while we are being so high and mighty about Saddam ' s invasion of Kuwait, why have we turned back on the Dahli Lama, whose legitimate government was thrown out of Tibet by the Chinese many years ago while we conveniently turned our collective heads? While we bomb the hell out of Baghdad, the ^vhole world is beginning to wonder just what right we have to our self-appointed moral-police-of-the-world role. Are we such a fine and shining example of democracy, freedom, and capitalism at its best? Should we expect the people of the Middle East, so conformed by their traditions and faiths, to give them up to worship the great god BMW as we so often do here in the West? Maybe we should allow the Middle East, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia, and everywhere else to take care of their own problems for awhile, while we pay attention to what isn't so great about America right now. And when we have made it Okay, when our young people are staying in school and off drugs, when our education system is back where it could be, when we have cared for our homeless and healed our sick, then perhaps we can start to share our successes with our global coinhabitants in peaceful ways rather than trying to impose our ideas by force. When we realize our potential and shine as an example of peace, care of the planet, tolerance of those different than us, and fiscal responsibility , then we can wrap ourselves in the flag and feel really good about it. B EVERLY KANAWI/CSUSM STUDENT �French cast breaks rules to add theatrics to old art • • • h e Ringmistress, France La Bonté, wears a goldW flowered, blue suit and has an orange hair style that would make Medusa die of laughter. Although she does not perform, her appearance and presence sets the standards for the ensemble she commands. The language is French, the music is rock, the costumes are outrageous, and there are no animals. This show, however, can be easily recognized as a circus. Cirque Du Soleil, meaning Circus of the Sun, stops in Southern California during its 1991 tour and proves it has therightingredients to make an outstanding show. The theatrical/acrobatic travelers are a collection of acts that astonish and baffle the mind. Four young contortionists start the circus with poses that would make anyone cringe with amaze- ment and pain. Their bodies can move as though they had no joints at all. The acrobats join in activities from trapezes, to tight ropes to flyers in a series of acts that threw their bodies into the air. The turns and twists of the performers' bodies easily outnumbers the bodies in the audience. Here is where the theme of the performers is evident: breaking the rules to make a New Circus. "Behind each perilous leap, there is a purpose, an intention, an individual, an emotion," director Franco Dragone wrote in the circus' program. "Since 1984, we have dealt primarily with circus acts in a theatrical context," continued Dragone. ' The concept has widened. The public will see the physical theater itself integrated into the numbers." Cirque Du Soleil also features a few performers that are out of the ordinary in a circus crowd. Zhao Liang draws the audience's attention as she commands the power of umbrellas. At one point, she balances two umbrellas atop one another on one foot, and spins one each on her other foot and both hands. i Soviet performer Vassiliy Demenchoukov catches the viewers' hearts and suspense as he balances on a total of nine chairs, stacked on each other. This is done as he carries a lighted birthday cake, celebrating Montreal's 350th birthday. Theflyersand acrobats, with a quick costume change, soon become the stage team.

Twenty-two years ago, Vargas started a circus with three trucks and eight animals. Today, Circus Vargas has over 400 animal and human performers and costs $20 million annually to run. It is listed with the'Guinness Book of World Records' as the largest traveling big top. The tent is 300 feet long and towers four stories high. It is constructed of 90,000 square feet of fabric weighing more than 17 tons, 24,478 feet of cable and rope and 485 stakes. What the tent lacks is sufficient heating.

The U.S.-born performer travels with the Cirque Du Soleil, a Montreal-based touring pi reus. Although his physical capabilities don't allow him to leap across the stage like his fellow acrobats, Shiner's character becomes the continuing focus throughout the show and conveys the theme in a way only a clown can tell. Not long after the circus begins, Shiner's clown emerges. He's dressed in a common American suit, slightly altered to fit a clown but still neutral in color. His dream: to join the bright and vibrant cast of the "flounes," his French counterpart. In some scenes, he proves his worth to the audience. In others, he tries to communicate with his foreign friends. In both instances, the audience can relate. A clown isn't a clown unless he makes people laugh; and, the audience shares his communication difficulties with the French ensemble. His nameless clown can never be a convincing face in the crowd, and the audience finds this funny. "My clown is tragic, neurotic, and at the same time he makes you laugh with his jacket sleeves and pant legs that are just a little too short," said Shiner. "He's a true anarchist, violating the social rules and conventions that define what a person is." The American clown does join the cast of Cirque Du Soleil, but only after a transformation. That transition is not to be revealed here.

(The) Clown since he was 12-years-old and even then he wanted to run away and join the circus. Eighteen years later, Marty becameCircus Vargas* Ambassador of Good Will, traveling all over the U.S. bringing joy and laughter to children of all ages. "I've been clowning for 25 years," says Marty. The last six of those have been with Circus Vargas. Marty says the real joy of performing in front of large audiences comes from seeing the faces of happy children. Even on days when he doesn't feel in the spirit of clowning, he says the children bring him back in the mood. "It's energizing when kids cheer you on," he says. Marty is probably one of the busiest clowns in America, performing seven days a week, 48 weeks a year, entertaining at schools, church groups, hospitals, malls, parades and benefits. His act combines magic, baffling buffoonery, balloon animals and face painting. A theme Marty stresses to all children, is that using drugs can be dangerous. "I tell them that clowning around with drugs is not funny," he says. Marty says he's always ready to spend the 45 minutes necessary to put on his greasepaint and costume. He's been seen on Good Morning America, Bozo the Clown Show, Totally Hidden Video, Romper Room and L.A. Kids among other programs. Marty is also scheduled to appear in 'Autobahn', an upcoming motion picture starring Dom Deluise. He has participated in numerous benefits over the years, including MDA for Jerry's Kids, March of Dimes, The Heart and Lung Association and United Way..

Thisright-handman to the Ringmistress looks like an extended munchkin from T he Wizard of Oz.' A circus wouldn't be complete without clowns. In essence, all performers are clowns, delivering joy and happiness to all who watch. Those who get the privilege of creating laughter, are classified by the French;as "flounes." The flounes have their own language, neither French nor English, but it is understood by all. They perform music, throw things at one another or at the spectators — occasionally throwing members of the audience — and always bring a smile to their viewers. It is said that the flounes get their nourishment from costumes, makeup, and masks. If true, then they are on one weird diet. "They move, breathe, and express themselves as a single character without the members losing their individuality," said Werner Straub, designer of the flounes' superb masks. Together with their fellow performers of Cirque Du Soleil, the flounes make you want to run away and join the circus.

With the Amazing Angels performing on the Russian swing, the show vaults to new heights. Members of this acrobatic troupe swing on the three-person mechanism, only to leap off one at a time with spectacular flips and twists. Between the dramatic numbers, clowns strut their stuff in small skits that keep the younger sect in stitches, but the humor stops there. Adults will find the clowning around to be, at best, stupid. There was no tightrope act, which produced some dismay, however the trapeze artists brought the circus to the height of its ability. The infamous triple-flip, thought by many to be among the most dangerous of trapeze stunts, was performed by two separate acrobats simultaneously in two separate rings. By far the best part of the show was the dog act. The furry little critters were two tail wags better than the big cats and far funnier than the clowns. The dogs alone are almost worth the $8.50 price of admission. L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Dionne Arata balances atop Col.

February and March offer an exciting entourage of three circuses for those who love to watch death-defying acts of skill and courage. More importantly, the circus experience has become an international event, with troupes from Montreal and the Soviet Union. These two circuses are known for their acrobatic excellence as well as their abilities to captivate an audience. So steprightup and focus your attention on the centerring.The circus has come to town. In accordance with one of the oldest and most popular of circus traditions, Circus Vargus will raise the world's largest big top tent in several San Diego locations through Feb. 25. Circus Vargus' all-new 22nd Edition features over 400 international performers and animals in a $20 million production. The twohour extravaganza features 10 elephants, tigers, chimpanzees, two flying trapeze troupes, the Wheel of Death, and of course, clowns. Two cities remain on Circus Vargus' San Diego tour. The big top opens it's show tonight in El Cajon at the Cajon Speedway, just west of Broadway off Highway 67, and runs through Feb. 21. The Del Mar Fairgrounds will host the circus next, starting Feb. 22. The public is invited to witness the raising of the football-field sized tent, nearly four stories high, at 10:30 a.m. on every opening day. The elephants, led by Colonel Joe, America's largest performing elephant, and other animals will be on display and a clown will be on hand to serve refreshments to the children. Those looking for extra work are invited to help raise the circus tent for a nominal fee. Job-seekers should arrive at the circus site at ' 6 a.m. on the day of the first performance. Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, Circus Vargus' big top is the largest traveling big-top circus in the world. Founder Clifford Vargus used this Italian-made tent when Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus was forced to take down their tent and move indoors in 1976 due to escalating costs. When Circus Vargus travels through San Diego, a giveaway is being offered that would excite the green-thumbers and disinterest others. It's well-known among those folks who are savvy about gardening that elephants manure is a mineralrichfertilizer. With the true philanthropic spirit, the Circus Vargus elephants are going to do their bit to contribute to the cause. The production line starts immediately upon arrival at each location, and there will be no shortage of freshly produced product. The public is invited to arrive with shovels and bags in hand - their sense of smell will lead them to therightspot - and help themselves to as much as they want of "Pachyderm Power." Circus Vargus allows seconds on all days following opening day at each location. A carnival with game booths and attractions is also offered with each performance of the circus. Fun-seekers can view the House of Giant Reptiles, ride a pony or an elephant, and play carnival games. A refreshment booth also serves hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and drinks. Tickets for the circus, which includes all events except the carnival, range from $8.50 to $16.50 with discounts for children. Ticket prices at Del Mar will be slightly higher to incorporate a 10 percent admission tax. Tickets are on sale at the Flower Hill Mall in Del Mar, the Escondido Village Mall, Ticketmaster and at the Circus. For more information, call 259-7714. In May of 1990, Cirque du Soleil launched it 1990-91 North American Tour with a brand new show called "Nouvelle Experience." In 1991, this French circus remains on the West Coast for a few months. After playing in San Diego for a two week run, Cirque will set up its blue and yellow big top tent in Coast Mesa from Feb. 22 to March 9. This Orange County performance will be in the South Coast Plaza parking area. "Nouvelle Experience" is an international extravaganza with attractions from China, Europe, North America and the Soviet Union. For the first time this century, the Soviet National Circus, Soyuzgoscirk, has allowed its artists to perform with a non-soviet circus. Vladimir Kehkaial seemingly takes to the skies like Icarus of ancient Greek mythology.

Also featured in this year's show are a troupe of Chinese-trained contortionists who recently won the gold metal in the Festival Du Cirque de L'acenir competition in Paris; Canadian solo trapeze artist and silver metal winner Anne Lepage; and a French trapeze act with the whimsical Fous Volants, meaning Flying Fools. Since the start of their tour, Cirque du Soleil has been travelling across North America with a new Big Top, in the familiar colors. More comfortable and spacious, it holds an audience of 2,499 spectators. "Cirque du Soleil redefines the meaning of circus/' said director Franco Dragone. "It combines theatric elements such as sophisticated lighting, brilliant costuming, and original jazz/rock score and creative choreography, with traditional circus elements and the excitement and spontaneity of street performance." Audiences in Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Monica and San Diego enthusiastically welcomed Cirque du Soleil's new production which attracted crowds at a record setting pace, reaching more than half a million spectators in seven months. Tickets are available through the Cirque du Soleil box office at 284-1286 or through Ticketmaster at 278-8497. General admission for the performance is $27. Tickets are also on sale for the all-new 1990-91 edition of the Moscow Circus. The Soviet performers will be at the San Diego Sports Arena for nine shows March 13-17. Featuring thefinestperformers in the Soviet Union, the cast was chosen from more than 6,000 performers in 137 Russian circuses. The show stars 10 aerial artists, the Flying Cranes, whose act combines a quadruple somersault and other daring moves with the choreography of a ballet. Other acts include the Zolkins and their three juggling bears, tightrope artists, clowns and the Cossack horsemen. Tickets are $20, $17.50 and $12.50, with the opening night performance at half price and the Friday matinee at $8.

Each of his pieces seems to have come directly from an ancient Egyptian Tomb. However, once one looks closely at the work, one begins to discover modern themes and material. Ghirardi, as elusive as his art work, chooses to present his art simply and allow the viewer to make the decision of what he or she thinks about the piece. For over 11 years, Ghirardi has been creating his own form of art by constructing "an upside down cake" of plastic, rubber, metals, enamels and oxides. These ingredients, assembled upon a plate of glass, are then covered with wet cement When the cement dries, the plate of glass is removed and the "cake" is alive with color, texture, and feeling. Powerful in form, these pieces of art by Ghirardi speak to the viewer. While not exactly making a clear, concise declaration, the implied statement and impressions that Ghirardi's art forms generate compel the viewer to examine and explore the works. One of the most fascinating and absoibing pieces of art work by Ghirardi is named "Afterglow." Even ¿hough the theme is not explicitly stated, one can recognize the shape of a large 1950s style beanie and almost discern playful yellow shapes resembling children running around the entire shape of the beanie. Outside the realm of the beanie are two large, red drops. Within the pattern of the beanie, is a "subtext" of crowded pictures WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC Foster, Hopkins stun audience in Silence of Lambs' Artist David Ghirardi reflects on his piece, 'Monk Brown'. containing shapes of cars, buses, modern buildings and a male figure with a shirt and tie implanted into the cement and covered with plastic. The picture "subtext" inside the beanie is small and seemingly unimportant; however, this implanted group seems to be growing inside ¿he beanie, ready to overpower it. Possibly representing innocence, the beanie is losing parts of itself to the modern, grown-up world that is within it. The two large drops of red paint could represent the pain of lost innocence through modernization, industrialization, and even adulthood, the "Afterglow" of childhood. Other pieces in the exhibit elicit similar K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER emotional and intellectual pensiveness. Their messages must be heard and interpreted by each viewer. It is exhilarating to find an artist like Ghirardi who successfully blends modern material and universal themes into original pieces of a rt Moreover, the most interesting challenge with Ghirardi*s art is the discovery of the thesis and the unravelling of the meaning of his art work. If you wish to view a type of art that is challenging, unique and original, then take a trip to David Lewison Gallery at the Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, and behold the magnificent pieces of art by artist David Ghirardi. Clarice Starling was 13-years-old when she went to live at her uncle's sheep and horse farm. She awoke one night to the awful screaming of the lambs and they were being slaughtered. The new movie 'Silence of the Lambs' reveals this information and more as Starling, an FBI trainee played brilliantly by Jodie Foster, is given her first big assignment. She is sent to a top security facility to interview Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lector, a brilliant psychologist who has killed his patients and eaten their tongues. Lector knows something about a madman serial killer, named Buffalo Bill, who is now killing young women and skinning their backs, but he won't tell Starling what he knows until she reveals secrets from her personal life. Starling must not only contend with this situation, the fears of handling her first big case, while trying to make a good impression of her male superiors and finding the courage to have SEE LAMBS/PAGE 14 'Man for All Seasons' challenges best in us Moonlight's play a metaphor useful in modern-day t imes a few short years in the life of Sir Thomas More, Minister to King^Henry How often do we see a production VIII, it chronicles his struggle to rethat really inspires and challenges the sist Henry * s attempts to invalidate his best within us? 4 A Man for All Sea- marriage to Katherine of Aragon sons' is a play which causes us to because of her inability to produce an question ourselves and to wonder just heir to his throne. how far we would go to defend the RandallHickmanplaysabrilliant, values we easily espouse. passionate Henry, accurately reflectHow many of us are made of the ing the mercurial moods of the mastuff or martyrs?

One wonders what Director Franco Zeffirelli could possibly have been thinking about. Elizabethan Drama meets Lethal Weapon? Literature and drama connoisseurs the world over let out a collective groan of disbelief, imagining the Bard himself rolling over in his tomb. It was with some surprise, and much delight, that I discovered that the combination of Mel and the Renaissance couplets made for a memorable performance. Gibson's expressive rendition of the lead role is subtly charming, never overplayed and has the per- fect mixture of fatal indecision and sympathetic pathos. Glenn Close, in the role of the Queen, is quite simply stunning. The Madness scene, featuring relative newcomer Helen BonhemCarter ('Lady Jane'} as a lovely Ophelia, was riveting, moving many in the audience to tears. In today's market of MTV-attention spans and excessive, graphic violence, will people pay to sec a four-hundred-year-old play? Apparently they will, if it contains Mel Gibson. Since its wide release two weeks ago,4 Hamlet' has enjoyed stunning ticket sales. What Zeffirelli has done here is combined a good old-fashioned story with fantastic cinematography and wonderful personalities, making the audience exit the theaters with smiles on their faces. The result is a Shakespeare that speaks to the audience without the necessity for subtitles. Bill, who wrote his plays for people to see, not for English scholars to argue about, most likely feels that all is justfinein the state of Denmark. LAMBS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 a final confrontation with a vicious killer. Foster is a consummate pro. This is a different role that, in someone clses interpretations, would have come off as just another tough chick. Like Sigourncy Weaver in the 4Aliens' series, Foster proves that a woman can aptly carry a suspense thriller. Anthony Hopkins, as Lector, is also a wonder to watch. His savagery is unquestionable, playing a dangerous cat and mouse game with Starling's mind and career. The plot unfolds slowly, building up the suspense like a pressure cooker. 'The Silence of the Lambs' makes you squirm, knowing that something terrible is about to happen, but not letting you in on what it is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pioneer is a member of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, the California Inter-Collegiate Press Association (CIPA), San Diego Press Club and the North San Diego County Press Club. A THOUGHT: "We have heard the trumpets. We have changed the guard. And now — each in our own way, and Susan DeLtica, Political Science with God's help— we must "Keep up in his reading." answer the call." PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON Donald P. Scott, History "End the ban (on gays in the military) now, just simply by executive order, and basically let the chips fall where they may." Rebecca Tadock English "We need a healthcare system.

Don't be afraid to stand up to Congress." �0 real rmng experien Excursion to Ghana was much more than just a vacation for students & faculty Story, photos and graphic courtesy of MARK HOPKINS Below: Citizens from Ho, Ghana, greet a 13-member delegation from CSU San Marcos during a cultural and education exchange to the country over winter break. In what was billed as a music and dance expedition to the west African nation of Ghana became "the experience of a lifetime" for a 13member delegation from California State University, San Marcos during winter break. The delegation, which was organized by ethnomusicology professor W. Komla Amoaku, not only learned something about traditional music and dance but also came away with a better understanding of world citizenship as they assisted their Ghanaian colleagues in a number of educational areas. Individual members worked on a plethora of projects such as faculty and graduate student exchanges, mathematics education for girls, and problems related to computers. For entourage leader and CSUSM Executive Vice-President Ernest Zomalt, the greatest surprise was the visit to Ho, a village that also is Amoaku's home town. "It was intense," said/Zomalt. "Somehow you get conjured up in your own mind what a village is, and when you get their you see 2-3,000 people in a complex social organization and you find it is nothing like this mythical village. That was the high point personally — the interaction with the people in Ho and the opportunities in the village." On the professional level, Zomalt sees opportunities for a liaison between CSUSM, the Ghana Education Service (GES), and the three universities that are in Ghana. "This trip was not initially planned for (inter-)institutional interaction," said Zomalt. "I think what we can do for the universities in Ghana is to probably start with some faculty exchange to bring some new ideas into the university because they" are moving to the course credit system and away from their traditional British system. Organizationally we can help with that, but more importantly we can help with new disciplinary ideas of instruction, of working with students, of delivering the program." Zomalt adds that this could be funded with Fullbright scholarships and aid from US government agencies such as USAID. One professor who is already starting to work with Ghanaians is Carolyn Mahoney, program director for the mathematics department. In a series of lectures coordinated by Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education Desk Officer Georgina Quazee of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Mahoney presented a number of public forums introducing the concept of mathematics education for girls as well as a four-day workshop to a group of 50 female elementary school teachers-in-training on how to teach mathematics. "I had no idea that I had to do this," said Mahoney. "I didn't have any materials, and so I thought T his is an interesting challenge — How will you do a workshop when you don' t have anything?' "Mahoney said SEE GHANA/PAGE 9 �GHANA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 that she talked with a number of officials within the GES about it and found out during the dialog that, "...They wouldn't have anything either, so let's do a workshop where they would understand the issues and then come up with ways to use whatever they have in their environment Mark Hopkins (thrid from left) along with Dr. Ernest and Leslie Zomalt (third &fourthfrom will help them deliver the kind of that rigit) pose in traditional Kente cloth robes in with newfound friendsinHo. math and science pedagogue and con- We would like to put your mind to rest. —A PARTMENT S - Swimming pool • Two laundry rooms • Dishwashers • Air conditioning • Disposal • Private balconies/patios • Secured private storage • Covered carports »Lighted Tennis Court Half-Court Basketball Club Room w/ Kitchen Private Patio/Balcony 24-Hour Monitored Alarm in Each Apartment All units are light and airy and include wall carpets, refrigerator, drapes and blinds.

"We're convinced that the academic and laboratory buildings will be occupiable by the first day of fall classes," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. 'The other two are questionable." Craven Hall, the $14 million administrative building, and the Commons facility are scheduled for completion after the teaching complexes. If the buildings are not completed, students will need to travel off campus to purchase books, use the library or gain access to academic records. Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said he met with contractors last week to discuss the option of increasing and doubling shifts on Craven Hall to expedite the construction process Yet, at the current stage of construction, he said it is doubtful that an increased work force can push the project toward meeting its fall 1992 scheduled completion date. "I am very optimistic, but also realistic," Amado said. "Once time is lost, it is difficult to make up." In September of 1990, construction on the nearly $50 million Phase I campus construction project ground to a halt after grading subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay them $1.3 million for woik already completed at the site. Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site in October and replaced with Lusardi Construction Company. Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left the ground too muddy, thereby hindering progress. The discovery of a well beneath the foundation of Craven Hall compounded delays further. Craven Hall and the Commons Building could be completed by the fall, but Amado said that the structures will not be usable until complicated equipment is installed. "Even if we achieve the August completion date (on Craven Hall and the Commons Building), the sophisticated functions in those buildings require several months to install," he said. Amado speculated that the Commons Building will be completed by late August or early September. He said that the time-consuming installation of food service equipment, however, will push the building's opening date to spring 1993. Craven Hall will house $2 million in computer equipment, administration, student services and a 100,000-volume library. Amado said the computer systems in the building will be activated last "The opinion is that Craven Hall will not be open since it has more complications," Stacy said. "But I haven't written it off yet." Students needing to use the services that will be housed in Craven Hall will have to traverse to the current campus site. Amado said some of the services might be moved to Craven Hall during the fall semester, but added that the decision is not his to make. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 4 �N ews B riefs Financial Aid application workshop The Cal State Office of Financial Aid will be conducting workshops on completing the 1992-93 Student Aid Application for California (SAAC), and will be providing valuable information regarding the financial aid process. Application packets for 1992-93 will be distributed at the workshops or students may pick up a packet from the Office of Financial Aid. The workshops have been scheduled to ensure that students will have the information they need prior to the March 2,1992 Cal Grant deadline, which is also the CSUSM priority filing date for financial aid. Additional information and other important dates will be given at the workshops. The schedule for the workshops is: • Feb. 4 from 6-8 p.m. for a formal presentation in Building 145, Room 9. • Feb. 19 from 8:30-4:30 p.m. • Feb. 27 from 5-8 p.m. Feb. 19 and 27 are designed as drop-in workshops and are not structured presentations. All walk-ins should bring their SAAC applications completed to the best of their ability. Students should come to the Office of Financial Aid during the walk-in times.

Hinton changes positions President Bill Stacy announced Jan. 29 the appointment of Dr. Bernard Hinton to the position of Assistant to the President for Technology. Hinton served as acting Dean of Business Administration for the first three semesters of classes. The purpose of his position is to assist the faculty, staff and administration in planning/implementing computing and telecommunication technologies for CSUSM. One of his objectives is to work with the technology investment made by Northern Telecom/Pacific Bell last semester. "Immediate attention must be locused on discovering the potentials of that $1 million gift," Stacy wrote in a letter to the university community. 'The university is in the midst of acquisition/bidding computing hardware; full attention of a university person especially focused only on the bidding process is urgent." Hinton's appointment is effective Feb.

Wilson, Trustees support increased student tuition L ARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER For the second year in a row, students attending the California State University system face dramatic fee increases. A proposal to increase student fees in the CSU by 4 0 percent was revealed last month by California State Governor Pete Wilson. The $372 per-year increase will make accessible, funds for the CSU system that are not available in the proposed state budget Last year tuition for CSU schools rose 20 percent Next year, with the proposed increase, Full Time Equivalent students will pay $526 more per year than they paid last year. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said the increased fee will help to ensure the availability of more classes. "What the $372 tries to offset is shutting out 10,000 students or letting 10,000in when they don ' t have classes available for them." Stacy said. Even with the i ncreases, California's fees for higher education remain among the lowest in the nation. Stacy said that there is room for fees to grow inCalifomiabecause students pay so little. Last year, taxpayers spent over $6,000 per-year, per-student, while students paid only $790. The fee increase will shift some of the financial burdens from the backs of taxpayers to the pocketbooks of those utilizing the educational system. Stacy said that students in the Midwest pay as much as half of their tuition costs in fees. "California remains the last great spot in America where taxpayers provide almost free public education," Stacy said. Budgetary problems in California's systems of higher education can be traced back nearly a decade, with universities carrying over money they never had. Stacy said the legislative budget cuts to higher education reflect an effort by the Wilson administration to put an end to such practices. "The Governor came in with the idea that, 'all this unfunded stuff is silly. Why don't we just give up on the unfunded and quit trying to carry over money you didn't get three years ago. Let's just admit that you don't have it and get rid of it,'" Stacy said in an interview after last year's tuition hike. As a result of last year's budget cuts, campuses across the CSU system were forced to trim administrative and faculty costs. San Diego State University reduced its North County campus population by as much as 75 percent and axed over 500 classes from the university. The action was taken in response to a $ 19.8 million legislative cutback in the campus budget for fiscal year 1991-1992. As a result of the cutbacks, SDSU students remain hard-pressed to find open seats in needed classes. CSUSM, as an infant university, was the only school in the CSU system with an increased budget for this year. The campus was, however, unable to increase its faculty population as quickly as planned. As a result CSUSM has seven less instructors this semester than it had originally anticipated. According to Stacy, the CSU Board of Trustees supports the fee increase and this month will recommend to the state legislature that the increase be implemented for the fall 1992 semester. "The increase was the least bad of four alternatives," Stacy said. The CSU Board of Trustees looked at four different manners of gaining revenues for the financially ailing SEE B UDGET /PAGE 4 Anderson chosen as Business Dean Dr. Beverlee Anderson has been appointed as Dean of the College of Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, one semester later than originally planned due to a continuation of the national search. "We are indeed fortunate to obtain aperson of Dr. Anderson's experience and proven ability to fill such a critical position," said Stacy, making the announcement after the second nationwide search was completed. "The dean will be a key architect in the shape and definition of our business program and the accreditation process the College of Business Administration will undergo. "Dr. Anderson's experience as the first dean of business at the university of Wisconsin-Parkside will serve us well as we move ahead with our commitment to providing business leaders in north County. She not only brings her experience as a dean, but also her vision of a business school o fthe 21 stcentury which is both national B V R E ANDERSON/ EELE NEW CSUSM D A EN and international." Last July, Academic Vice President Richard Millman extened the nationwide search until October. Millman cited a lack of enthusiasm with the original candidates and no minority representatives in the pool of applicants. "For faculty positions, it is impor- tant for us to have a diverse pool of applicants," Millman wrote in a letter to the faculty . "For senior administrative positions, it is mandatory." Currently, CSUSM surpasses both CSU and nationwide ratios of minority and female faculty members. Anderson joined CSUSM Feb. 1. She served as Dean of the School of B usiness of the University of Wisconsin (Parkside) since 1988, and was chairwoman of the Department of Marketing at Wright S tate University for four years, as well as director of their Center for Consumer Studies. Anderson received her MBA and Ph.D. from Ohio State, concentrating on marketing and consumer behavior. Her BS is also from Ohio State, with a concentration is transportations and traffic management. "It's the kind of opportunity that's an educator's dream," said Anderson. "The opportunity to build a business school from the ground up comes once in lifetime at most." �BUDGET CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 C ampus C alendar system. Noon Time Concerts The first alternative, to get more money from the state legislature, was not an option since there are no excess funds in the state treasury from which to draw. SincetheCSUhadalready incurred drastic cuts last semester, the second option of curtailing spending habits would make the availability of classes even more scarce. Trustee members felt the CSU would be guilty of "ethical fraud" if they tried to gain revenues by increasing enrollment, since classes would not be available for more students. The fee increase was the last resort for a university system caught in the brambles of a financial crisis. "Students have a real obligation to look at the facts," Stacy said. "Last year they paid more but got less classes. This year, the money goes to the CSU to restore classes." In addition to the fee hike, the CSU Board of Trustees is putting a freeze on the system-wide growth of the student population. Inadraftof budget talks sent out to CSU presidents last week, Chancellor Barry Munitz informed campuses tocurtail enrollment. CSUSM holds a top spot in Munitz's budget because of construction costs and anticipated growth. Stacy said he doesn't feel that the tuition hike will affect the CSU's mission of providing affordable education to all qualified students, rather, he said students will be able to absorb the higher fees without much financial duress. C AMPUS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 "That's definitely a presidential call. He will have to decide what is needed on site for teaching," Amado said. Bidding for the construction of the campus parking lot begins today. The lot is scheduled for completion Aug. 1. According to Amado, crews have already begun painting the interior walls and installing finished cabinets in the Laboratory Building. He said that due to the sophistication of the Laboratory Building, the Lecture Building, which is currently at an earlier stage of construction, should be completed first. "It looks really good for August 1992 for the lecture and laboratory buildings," said Amado. In recognition of Black History Month, Cal State San Marcos is presenting a week of noon time concerts starting Feb. 3. The following list is a schedule of remaining concerts: • Feb. 4: Harmonica Fats and the Bernie Pearl Blues Band. • Feb. 5: Linda West, gospel soloist. • Feb. 6: Harry Pickens trio. • Feb. 7: Skip Cunningham, History of Tap Dance.

Instead, the administration sent out letters to selected students around the area and asked them to attend. The remaining students discovered the university from their own searching. The letters established a personal standard. This personal relationship between the administration and the students still holds true today, although it may be lost in years to come. A new program is setting new traditions while keeping that personal touch. It shows how a few students have a lot of pride in their university. Maria Alvarado, Barbara Rollins, James Kochi, Carol-Jeanne Form an, G ezai B erthane and Ramona deSanchez are six students that form PRIDE, Peer Resources In Discussing Education. In e ssence, P RIDE i s the university's Public Relations department and provides information to the public regarding admissions requirements, academic programs, support services and updates on the development of the campus. Their audience is potential students. Engel said. It is the first time the campus mascot has been depicted as other then the logo icon. • C AMPUS B EAT BY J O N A T H A N YOUNG "We have six ambassadors who have been trained in inter-personal and group communications, all aspects of the campus and the levels of education," said Brigitte Engel, director of School Relations. She said the students give an overview, whet the potential students' appetite for Cal State San Marcos, and "provide the appropriate referral." Some of the tasks of the student ambassadors include giving presentations at local community colleges and high schools, giving tours of the CSUSM campus and responding personally to calls or letters about the university. The group uses a pride of lions as their logo, a symbol that reflects the unity the ambassadors feel at CSUSM, There's a lot of events going on at CSUSM in the next few weeks. Pioneer has put together its largest Campus Calendar; check it out on page 4 . • Student involvement has been promoted on campus since day one. With CSUSM still in its infancy, it is up to the students, and how involved they get, that determines the campus personality and traditions. To the students' disadvantage, however, there is no one publication that lists everything. Until now. In Pioneer's next edition, you will find the most complete list of clubs, organizations, committees, councils and publications that allow student involvement. It will be the most complete report on what has been around and what is just getting started. Of course, we need everyone's help. If you are a member of a club, are starting a club or need student involvement, contact Pioneer at 7524998 or send a note through the mail. Local Boys and Girls Club offers child care for students, faculty With a few alterations to the original plans, The Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos has teamed up with Cal State San Marcos to provide a child care program to students and faculty. Under the revised plan, the Woodland Park branch of the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos is being used and the service is being offered Monday through Thursday. O riginally the program w as planned for the club located on Rancheros Drive and only offer three nights a week. The program offers child care for children enrolled in first grade of higher from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. To use the service, students are required to pay a membership fee of $15 to join the club, Tanis Brown, an organizer of the program, said that anyone that participates in any club program has to become a member. "As members of the club, students would be able to participate in any program (at the club)," said Brown, who also serve as an undergraduate-at-large representative on the Associated Students Council. The fee is a yearly due and frees the school of all liability. Sue Aldana, with the Boys and Girls Club, said the membership fee also allows parents who attend classes during the day to leave their children at the club, a program that already exists. "The new program is to extent our hours into the evening," Aldana said. "The idea of this program is to set it up for parents going to school at night" In addition to the membership fees, there is a $5 fee per child for each night the child car service is used. A sliding scale is available for families with more than one child enrolled. To obtain registration forms, call 752-4950. Pre-registration is required for the evening program.

With proposed budget hikes of 4 0 percent this year and 20 percent last year, those wishing to to take advantage of one of the most cost-effective forms of education in the nation are going to have to pay a little more. It's about time. N o o ne l ooks forward to forking out $526 more per year than last year for education, but we must look at the benefits of cost hikes. STAFF EDITORIAL To begin with, the CSU system has, for the last decade, looked at its budget throughfish-eyelenses. It has been incurring bills and carrying money over years before the funding even became available. Taxpayers, who paid over $6,000 per year for each student enrolled in the CSU, didn't even notice the rampant spending, since they were already acclimated to governmental misappropriation of their monies. Since the CSU will get more of its funding from students, it will be held more accountable to its pupil population. Consumers who pay more for a product become miserly and demanding of higher product quality. Conversely, the CSU can expect more from its students. CSU has been one of the most affordable social clubs in the nation. For a minimal fee, club members could hang out on the college campuses for six or seven years and still fail to graduate. Hopefully, a slight squeeze on the wallets of social butterflies will encourage them to fly more quickly through their education than flutter by from Greek system to Greek system. Students paying more for education will want to complete their studies more quickly, rather than slip deeper into debt with the passing years. As a result, the CSU can expect slightly better academic performances from its students due to fee increases. Education will become work for those only willing to extend their community college career. For the most part, students in the CSU system are shelved on the lower levels of state educational stratification. Overall GPAs don't nearly compare to the averages in the UC system or private schools who charge more for education. CSU students are known more for their party habits than their studious rigor. If a fee increase achieves anything, let's hope it at least gets the reputation of an ailing system back on the fas^t track. 4 O UR VIEWS Chicken relays fowl U.S. forecast . .. So there I was, gnawing on a chicken leg, thinking about nothing in particular when this thing happened to me. Call it a hunch or a twisted perception or a woo woo weirdness of the mind propagated from baby-induced lack of R.E.M. sleep. Whatever it was, it occurred while I was holding the bird. I was thinking about the Recession and Japan and the ex-Soviet Union and the Persian Gulf War and Pat Buchanan when the roasted carcass of chicken on my dinner table revealed to me a startling revelation of future events. All of those little tidbits of information that fly through the air on the wings of a sound bite congealed together for one unsettling and inarguably awful augural moment of time. I saw, for an instant, the grim state of economic affairs in the United States. We are caught in a self-perpetuating whirlwind of economic turmoil. Businesses are reducing their work forces to cut back on spending. Consumers are cutting their spending because of less work, thereby making businesses further reduce their work forces. All the while, those standing in line at the welfare office that once stood in line at Nordstrom's are blaming the Japanese for their economic hard times. They complain over the noise of their Sansui stereos while they drive their Toyotas to Mitsubishi Bank to cash their welfare checks. To compound our economic problems, America is circling high in a thermal of patriotism. Our overwhelming victory in the Persian 3ulf has thrust our egos into the unreachable heights of the stratosphere. Workers laid off from their jobs are turning businesses into oattlefields where desperate employers become the sworn enemies 10 the American way of life. We won one war with weapons, who's to say we can't win the economic war with them as well? The fact is, we are becoming an economically depressed society ivith the undisputably most powerful military force in the world Without the Soviet Union to contend with, we are sitting comfortably upon a throne of world power. Our present status faintly parallels the conditions of pre-World EDITOR-IN-CHIEF War II Germany. If the current economic trends continue, the consequences of this nation's desperation could become dire. The fowl revealed a United States soriddenby economic despair and at the same time adrenalized by military victory that humane rationalization stands in peril. Just face it, humbling Iraq was relatively easy and it felt darned good. Mr. America, Pat Buchanan, knows how good it felt and would like to go back for more. The startling fact is that a great many Americans agree with him. If we do go back for second helpings of Saddam Hussein rump roast, the United States stands in danger of becoming addicted to the patriotic power pill. In the name of the goodol U.S of A., almost any tiny excuse could turn into impetus for conquering our economic adversaries. Conceivably, Japan or Germany could be taken over by brute force if desperation prevails. I seriously doubt that the United States will ever become such a thunderhead of imperialism, but the prospect does have a terrifying element of forebodance that cannot be so easily discarded under the pressure of ultimate desperation. After Ifinishedmy chicken, I indulged in a botde of Maalox to calm my stomach then retired to bed hoping to wake in the morning with the Hsing sun before the rooster crows. * ¿ii&UÜ4& ÌOi L ARRY B OISJOLIE �America's partisan politics will kill momentum of Civil Rights movement P IONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley, Wendy Williams CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeths, Ken Baurmeister, Kim Courtney, Pamela Farrel, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez The American political psyche is built on two basic dispositions: the assumption of equal civil rights for all, coupled with the notion of individualism. These two guidelines draw the most basic distinctions in Americans' political beliefs, and this dichotomy is the basis for the prominence of only two major parties. In other words, the Republicans tendtowards a belief in the individual (or private firm) being the best solver of problems, and creators of opportunity, while the Democrats consider societal equity to be America's calling, and they champion the cause of benevolent governmental activity. Hence the lines are easily drawn on the basis of agenda. On the environment, education, and health care, the Republican penchant for lax or nonexistent policy has become commonplace. For every hole in the Republican domestic agenda, the Democrats offer up a half dozen alternatives, with the government at the helm. Unfortunately, America's problems cannot be solved through either lack of directive {Republican policy) or behemoth government (Democratic policy). No wonder that so many voters don't vote. The bulk of political campaigns are attempts to discredit opponents instead of generate solutions. Ultimately, policy formation within the two parties is relegated to reactive posturing. Politics will kill the Civil Rights movement. Every issue in the Civil Rights movement is caught in the middle of the cross-fire described above. From Eisenhower's hesitancy to intervene in States' policy towards school integration, to Reagan's candidly fond remembrance of an era that saw no discussion of societal inequality, to President Bush's recent reluctance to support Civil Rights legislation, the Republican record is a consistent inactivity or opposition to strong Civil Rights policy. Interestingly, this is consistent with Republican party belief that government cannot legislate "fair" or "caring" mentality, and is therefore a poor director of public and private behavior. Of course, the Democratic party traditionally champions causes of the poor and disadvantaged, so the Civil Rights movement finds a home here. Unfortunately, voters are forced by nature of the two party system to choose a party's full agenda, or to choose the opposite party. By default, this ties the future success of the Civil Rights movement to the Democratic party. A danger of extinction arises as the Democrats busily reorganizes to woo anxious middle class voters who are more concerned with their own feeble economic futures then the promotion of special interest legislation. In fact, scary candidates like David Duke do best when the economy goes soft. White middle America is easily persuaded that our country's diversity is somehow threatening our long-term strength as a nation. Particularly sensitive is any talk of hiring quotas that are racially based, and therefore seemingly exclusive of the existent majority (whites). Affirmative action policy is frequently cast in just those terms so as to oversimplify the issues and scare people. Ironically, most Americans are comfortable with both aspects of the political psyche mentioned earlier equality and individualism. For most of us, equal opportunity is perfectly palatable, although the practical translation of this term is widely disputed. Likewise, individualism is held to be the backbone of American ingenuity and drive, but most of us disdain the conspicuous consumption of Wall Street's abusers. Clearly, Americans on whole want a fair society where anyone hard-working can succeed. It is practically correct to include Civil Rights in a permanent public policy. The Civil Rights movement would be wise to become less political in order to have a more successful political process. Civil Rights is best, and most widely supported, when it seeks to protect all people from unfairness and prejudice. It will find that too close an allegiance with "political correctness" is political suicide. DAVID HAMMOND/GUEST COLUMNIST Copyright © 1991, by PIONEER. All rights reserved.

A THOUGHT; "He who rests on down or under covers cannot come to f ame." DANTE ALIGHIERI Major needed to boost writing skills Due to the general deterioration of English writing skills in American educational institutions, many of this country's industrial and economic institutions are questioning the academic standards that allow college and university students to graduate without adequate writing skills. Our own CSUSM is trying to remedy the situation with its revolutionary writing requirement of 2,500 written words per class. Only one class on our campus, Expository Writing for Teachers, could be classified as a forum for improvement of upper division academic writing, yet it will not be offered during the current spring semester. The idea that the campus writing requirement could be facilitated by a single class reflects a lack of planning and disregard for writing skills which is pervasive at all levels of education: Yet the dilemma we are witnessing may not be apathy or neglect but the fear of writing. In the essay, 'Teaching English as a Creative Art," writer/theorist Jean Pumphery explains, "Writing is and always will be the most difficult of human endeavors." Therefore, CSUSM must supply the means to improve the writing ability of students who desire more intensive composition training. Some students have the desire to improve their writing proficiency after completion of English Composition classes at the lower division level. Other students will have the desire to Y OUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM the growth of all students' writing potential. The majors being offered in history, social science, math, (in addition to the post graduate credential program) indicate that this university has taken responsibility of educating the teachers of the future. To provide our country and our children with the best educators of the 21st century, we, as students, must conquer the problem of written communication before we can teach or thoughtfully interact with our peers. One answer is the addition of an English Composition major. A new major in this area would not only provide more classes for English majors who have an intense interest in written communication, but it would give all students the chance to enroll in writing classes that are not offered now. New classes would back up the founding faculty's and administration's rhetoric encapsulated in the writing across the curriculum goal and provide substantive guidance for students who want to improve their writing skills. If CSUSM wants to practice what it preaches, there will be new classes to support the development of writing skills. The future of American education is being formulated at our university, and the skills necessary to rectify the current writing problems at the elementary and high school levels should be taught here. learn the intricacies of writing of business or industry. What does our curriculum offer to accommodate these needs? Writing across the curriculum is a wonderful concept, but how will the staff of this university encourage and help students who fall short in their production of academic quality writing? All students entered CSUSM to improve their education and gain marketable skills. Thereby, they have accepted the challenge of the writing requirement. Where is the support for the students who want to improve their writing skills? Since writing is part of all classes, will biology, math, and geography professors set aside three to six hours of their classes to teach writing? Furthermore, can all instructors provide proficient instruction in writing for their students? Obviously, there is a need for a more diverse writing curriculum at this university to support ~ ROY LATAS/CSUSM STUDENT �X PLORI PIONEER/TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1992 Primates find home in Tropics e n 'd angered part hree ANIMALS KIMBERLY COURTNEY/PIONEER FWR AD FWR E E N EE cement enclosures can be found at the San Diego Zoo. Replacing the old jail-like cages are environmentally complete natural habitats. Gorilla Tropics is the San Diego Zoo's latest addition to its natural habitat exhibits. Lush foliage, cascading waterfalls and a grassy rock-strewn hillside recreate the environment of an African rainforest, home of the lowland gorilla. The seven gorillas that dwell in the enclosure are not the only animals to enjoy this newly formed environment. Seventy-five species of birds and over 100 types of native trees, flowering vines and herbaceous shrubs fill the two and one-half-acre exhibit Five exhibits make up the Gorilla Tropics complex. The highlight of the attraction is the 10,000-square-foot gorilla enclosure. The new home for the animals is five times larger than the previous gorilla enclosure. Glimpses of these animals can be caught from strategically placed viewing points across waterfalls, through foliage and from a suspension bridge. The newly remodelled Scripps aviary is another exhibit in Gorilla Tropics. An elevated walkway allows visitors to view birds in their tree-top homes. The sky-blue netting overhead disappears into San Diego's skyline, creating for visitors the effect of walking through a rainforest. A $200,000 computerized sound system pipes sounds of the jungle through 144 speakers hidden among the tropic's walkways. Insect, bird and animal sounds force listeners to peer behind the shrubbery, searching for the elusive sounds. In addition, the sounds of wind, GORILLAS Academicians estimate that each year from 20,000 to 40,000 species of plants and animals will perish from the face of the Earth.

The San Diego Zoological Society in Escondido holds 41 endangered species. This special series examines the stories of three of the Zoo's species' struggle for survival.

Twenty CD's allow various tracks to be played in a completely random fashion. All the waterfall sound tracts and beautiful scenery are not only for the enjoyment of the visitors, but for promoting the reproduction of an endangered species as well. The atmosphere seems to be living up to its expectations. On Dec. 2 4,1991 a baby gorilla was born to Alvila and Memba. Zookeepers not wanting to interfere with the mother/child relationship are only guessing the baby is male. This baby gorilla is the newest addition to the family of gorillas at the tropics.

I wanted to call my column "The Hidden and not so Hidden Corners of San Diego;" but the title is too long. Next I thought of "Kathy's Korners," but it sounds more like a column on quilting or food news. Larry suggested that we use "Sullivan's Travels" in the tradition of Gulliver. How appropriate to have my first column cover the San Diego Zoo — one of the most prestigious zoos in the world (And how long has it been since you visited our famous attraction?). The zoo provided me with a press package which included a free bus ride. It was the first time I had ever taken the bus tour. What a great ride, well worth the $3 the zoo charges. The best seat on the bus is standing at the rear of the upper deck. You get a bird's-eye view of the animals on both sides of the bus. The bus driver keeps up lively informative talk about the animals. I not only had fun, but I learned a lot about the zoo, the different species of animals and their place in our changing world. The San Diego Zoo is changing to meet the consciousness of the 90s. Their new practices of animal maintainence makes viewing and studying the animals a pleasant experience. What a change from the old, which displayed all animals of one species in duplicate cages, to the new, which displays animals the rocks. The exhibits have been constructed with hills and rocks, watprf"lls and trees, and special private places that the animals can hide from human observation. My day at the zoo was great fun. -Some of the highlights include: the size of the mouth of yawning hippo through a 200mm camera lens, the joy of seeing a newly born wild horse still wet from birth, and the sadness of knowing that I will probably be the last generation to see an oryx, because there are only a few members of the species left on earth, and those are not breeding well in captivity.

Area students benefit from AIDS event In an unprecedented collaboration, two national AIDS organizations have joined forces to produce the largest AIDS fund-raising event in history, and for the first time is seeking to enroll students in a monumental AIDS Education and Awareness program. "Heart Strings, the AIDS Memorial Quilt, and You - An Event in Three Acts" will kick off in San Diego this week and has two major goals: one to raise more than $500,000 to benefitlocal AIDS agencies that provide direct care services to men, women and children impacted by AIDS and HIV infection and prevention programs; the second is to educate and raise awareness and compassion with regard to AIDS crisis. The five-day event i s comprised of the upbeat, Broadwaystyle musical "Heart Strings," a partial display of the NAMES project AIDS Memorial Quilt and a call to action. The event is designed to emotionally motivatepeople to become involved infightingthe devastating epidemic. Through the Student Outreach Program, more than 40,000 area students are expected to take part in the project Already being considered as a role model for the other 34 cities on the national tour, the program has active participants from almost every college in the country including USD, UCSD, SDSU,City College and representatives from both city aind county schools. In addition to the enthusiastic response from schools across the country, "An Event in Three Acts" has already received the endorsement of three national education organizations: the National Education Association, the American College Health Association and the American A ssociation for SEE AIDS/PAGE 19 �TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1 992/PIONEER M usic C alendar Almost Elvis: Impressionist Robert Lenz and comedian/impersonator Jerry Hoban perform at Sound FX, San Diego, on Feb 14. 560-8022/278-TIXS Dick Dale and the Deltones: Perform with guests Surf Chiefs on Feb. 7 at the Belly Up, Solana Beach. 481-9022 The Guess Who: Performs at Sound FX, San Diego, on Feb 8. 560-8022/278-TIXS John Mellencamp: Performs Feb. 20 at Los Angeles' Great Western Forum.

S o far in life the only misty eyes I've gotten from the occasion were from the four red roses a cherubic second grader gave me in homeroom class (it turns out I was allergic to the flowers). But, as an adult, I yearn for those little comforts that the weaker sex can offer me: parallel parking, programing the VCR, tuning up the car and lighting the barbecue. Unfortunately, as a full-time student who holds a job and spends an average of 55.7 hours in front of the boob tube per week, finding a good man can be as difficult as filling out my 1040A Federal Income Tax Form (another little asset men have to offer). To solve my problem I turned to my closest friend and confidant, the 21 -inch RCA color television set with remote control that sits in my living room. It seems that late-night T.V. has three shows created just for setting up desperate single persons like myself with the perfect mate. Each show has a different approach o fixing up two members of opposing SEE CALENDAR/PAGE 18 W I I | fr |f / i—&& THROUGH THE BY S H E I L A COSGROVE sexes, yet all interject humor and, yes, sometimes fabulous prizes. These tender morsels of dating fodder can be found weeknights from 10:30 to (gasp) 1:00. The first dating show of the night holds the pretentious and decidedly sexist title "Studs." The idea behind the program is to f ix t wo men (the studs noted in aforementioned title) with the same three different women. Host Mark DeCarlo reads various responses that the three women had to their dates. The two guys then try to guess who said what. If they guess correctly, they get a little quilted heart. The man with the most quilted hearts wins. "Studs" e nds after each man chooses which one of the three women he would like to accompany on a dream date of his design. If the woman of his choosing agrees, and if he has the most hearts, he gets the girl. The biggest problem with "Studs" is its unabashed sexism. There is always one woman of the three that doesn't get chosen. "Studs" propagates the antiquated stereotype that the man is the most qualified of the sexes to choose a good date. The women on the show are reduced to litde more than sex-blubbering gameshow wallflowers hoping to be chosen for the next inuendo. If "Studs" would only break the grasp of male domination, it might be a romantically rewarding experience for its female contestants, instead it stoops to clutch ratings with mindless verbal foreplay and unalluring malebonding. Finding "Studs" to be not a good place to find men, I turned to the old midnight standby, "The Love Connection," where "you can hear the details of an intimate date." The premise behind the program is simple. A contestant (either male or female) chooses a date from video interviews. After the date, host Chuck Woolery interviews both parties to discover how the date proceeded. If the date went well and the audience SEE LOVE/ PAGE 18 TOUCHLESSNOCRUSHES WASH AR NO C LOTHS B Theater Abingdon Square/La Plaza Chica: The San Diego Repertory Theatre presents this bilingual play crafted by Maria Irene.

Instead of relying on tame classic musicals, the Moonlight has put together a drama/ comedy production that can be considered a risquesex show. Making its San D iego County premiere, the Vista cast presents "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" through Feb. 16. With a one-set stage, 11 cast members, and a story from Choderlos de Laclos, the plot tells of revenge, deception, sex, love and cruelty. The close-knit cast performs a marvelous production and shows, in very plain language and actions, why this show is promoted as "for mature audiences only." "This show gives us a license to do a lot of things you can't do," said lead actress Patti Goodwin. She plays La Marquise de Merteuil, a proper French women who is anything but proper behind closed doors. Goodwin dominates the stage of "Dangerous Liaisons" with her performance while de Merteuil dominates the other characters with her blackmail. Goodwin's performance is stunning. With the help of crisp direction from Gary Krinke, she moves around the stage with a glow of innocence when the welcome mat is out and puts on a better show when the doors are closed. "She is everything I wouldn't want to be . .. but it's something that I can set aside from myself and have fun with," Goodwin said. "Her demise is incredibly strong." Goodwin has many musical perSEE M OON /PAGE 17 Roy Gùenther Werner, as the Vicomte de Valmont, tries to seduce Patti Goodwin, portraying the La Marquise de Merteuil in the Moonlig Amphitheare's producion of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses' playing through Fèb. 16.

This is her first serious non-musical role and she has made the transition perfectly. Her male counterpart is played by Roy Guenther Werner. As le Vicomte de Valmont, Werner makes no distinction between private and public; his on-stage love affairs outnumber the cast members and contribute to his reputation as le Vicomte. Werner has an easy part. His lines and appearances are many and difficult, but the ease comes from the opportunity to seduce and sexually arouse the female characters. He plays his part with perfection and is one cast number who can associate with his character. f "I was this part when I was young," Werner said in reference to his days in college. "I have experience to draw off of. I feel very comfortable with this part." Werner joins the Moonlight after playing Rev. David Lee in the highacclaimed "The Foreigner" at North Coast Repertory Theatre. He has performed in "Julius Caeser," "The Heggem play the Major-domo and the Maid.

'The Love Connection" avoids the fallacies propagated in "Studs" by illustrating that dating is a mutual experience shared by two adults capable of deciding what they like. From watching the show over the years, I have discerned two different types of "Love Connection" contestants: The Sleeze—begins the interview with the statement, "He/she looked yummy in that leather outfit I was ready to cut to the chaserightaway." Usually the sleeze ends the interview with a suggestion that the next date will end up under the covers, or in a sleeping bag, or on a hammock... The Unable to Please—starts out with the statement, "He/she wasn't quite whatl expected... "and proceeds to "the waiter/waitress at the restaurant was a hot number." Oftentimes, this person is more interested in gaining a television audience than going on a date. Unfortunately, I am neither good with audiences nor willing to have sex in a hammock so "The Love Connection" doesn't quite complete my circuits. Next, I turned to "The Personals" at 12:30. The program pits one contestant against three wanna-be dates. The three wanna-bes try to guess how the contestant answered personal questions. The person who guesses the most amount of questions correctly wins a date. At the close of "The Personals," the two winners are asked a series of quick "yes" or "no" questions. If they answer similarly to enough questions, they could win a trip to Club Med. If they blow it on the queries, then they get an all expenses paid trip to a trashy L.A. hot dog stand. The questions range from, "Can you make a slinky walk downstairs?" to "Do you eat asparagus?" Host Michael Berger delivers these questions in classic toungue-in-cheek style, but even his quick wit doesn't save the show from the plethora of corny pick-up lines and phoney come-ons that emanate from the contestants. 'The Personals" is strictly for those types who find enjoyment at single bars, love polyester and think Jim Morrison is a genius. So, with Valentine's Day approaching like a bloated commercial pufferfish, I find that even the intellectual fountainhead known as television won't be able to fix me up with a date. I guess my only logical alternative is to hit the video stores and rent a Valentine classic like "The Way We Were" or "Love Story."

These reactions were gaged in an unscientific anonymous poll by Pioneer of 39 students at CSUSM. The sample reflects about 6.5 percent of the population attending the university. Thirty-one of those sampled were women, with the remaining eight responses coming from men, accurately reflecting the gender demographics of the campus. Of those sampled, 16 were between the ages of 18-25; 10 were between the ages 26-32; seven were between the ages 33-40, and the remaining six were above 40 years-old. Of those surveyed, only two felt that the U.S. should no longer continue its activity in the Persian Gulf. Two people held no opinion, while the remainder of the students said the U.S. should continue with its involvement. Of the students who indicated that involvement should continue, one said that forces should be reduced. Most of those polled felt that there were multiple reasons for America's involvement in the Persian Gulf. Thirty-three responses indicated that the U.S. became involved to stop Hussein from gaining too much power. Twenty-five felt that the U.S. was in the region to liberate Kuwait, while only 23 felt that oil was the reason for military presence. One student said that the conflict in the Middle East is an ego trip by world leaders. The student said that this is an opportunity for those leaders to test their military weapons.

Those that commented further on events in the Middle East, expressed concerns about protestations over the war e ffort One student asked, "Where were the peaceniks when he (Hussein) invaded a defenseless neighbor?"

NEWS 3 B udweiser d istributer g ives l argest l ocal g ift With a donation to help in the formation of a scholarship program at Cal State San Marcos, Ken Markstein, president of Markstein Beverage Co. in San Marcos, has committed $100,000 to the university, making him the largest local contributor to the university. CSUSM President Bill Stacy announced the contribution January 23, five days before the commencement of the spring semester. "It's a splendid thing that Mr. Markstein has done," Stacy said. "To receive such a strong voice of confidence from our neighbor in the community is a great thing. Particularly in these difficultfiscaltimes,Mr. Markstein's generosity grants to us the flexibility that provides excellence to our students in North County." The g ift from Markstein will be awarded in increments over the next 10 years, with thefirst$10,000 check endowing a scholarship program for business students. The second year?s check will endow related faculty enhancement for the MBA program to be developed at the university. Each year's donation thereafter will alternate between funding student scholarships and faculty enhancement. Director of Financial Aid, Paul Phillips, said that details regarding the scholarships will be announced later in the year. He said the contribution is an "absolutely wonderful" addition to the Financial Aid program. Bernard Hinton, founding faculty professor of Business Management, said in a written statement that the endowment could strengthen ties to the business community. "TheCollegeof Business Administration is deeply committed to a close working relationship with the North County business community; we are equally aware of our responsibility to justify their faith in us," Hinton wrote. "With the support of such community citizens as Ken, we expect to be able to provide the quality education the North County area desires and deserves." Markstein Beverage Co. is the North C ounty d istributor f or Budweiser Beer and other Anheiser BusQh products. The gift, which will be called The Markstein Beverage Co. Scholarship Program, is the largest contribution to CSUSM to be made locally. It marks the third largest endowment to date. Earlier in the yfear, Bill Daniels, of Daniels Cablevision in Denver, endowed $250,000 for the formation of a chair in Communications. Most recently, Itoman, a Japanese trading finn, announced a $500,000donation last September for the establishment of an annual international festival. Another $250,000 endowment, by Allan O, Kelly of Carlsbad, was rejected by the college last fall following criticism from the academic community. The Kelly endowment would have helped form a chair in Geology. Markstein could not be reached for comment as of press time, but Stacy indicated that the donation was made as a gesture of community support. "He wanted to d o something as a hometown guy to support our programs" he said.

FEBRUARY 5 , 1 991 /PIONEER 5 Hepatitis threat greater than earlier thought You are probably feeling saturated with information concerning sexually transmitted diseases; however, some recent studies and initiative by the Centers for Disease Control reveal the Hepatitis B Virus (HB V) infection is more a more serious threat to the college-age population than was previously thought HB V is among a group of viruses including, human papilloma virus (HPV—commonly referred to as genital warts), human immune deficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV)—labeled the "modern sexually transmitted diseases" by many. These viruses carry the potential to cause serious illness, including various cancers and death. Specifically, HBV infection, for which if there is no treatment, can lead to impaired liver function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The severity of the disease ranges from unapparent cases (with no recognizable signs and symptoms) to a fulminating fatal illness (rarely). Usually, Hepatitis B patients have some mild ¡¡ m u f*B U I k| fܧ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡I mm H EALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS symptoms and occasionally jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), but frequently are diagnosed as having a mild viral infection or the so-called gastrointestinal flu. Approximately 10 percent of patients will becomecarriers. Also, a certain numberof carriers will develop chronic, active hepatitis which leads to serious problems. That brings us to the mode of transmission. HBV causes 300,000 infections annually and these occur primarily in young adults. Trans- Y earbook s urvey o rigin q uestioned Yearbookcommitteemembersand Cal State San Marcos administrators are puzzled over the origin of survey forms recently distributed around the campus. According to BarbaraPender, who leads the student subcommittee on the organization of a yearbook, the survey questionnaire entitled, "Student Survey for First Class Yearbook," did not come from the yearbook staff. In fact, says Pender, the survey contains questions that are too personal for use in the forthcoming publication. "We don't want to know who a person's spouse is or what the spouse's occupation is," said Pender. "We're not going to make the yearbook a personal biography." At first Pender thought the survey was placed by someone on the year* book committee, but all members denied drafting the questionnaire. She then looked to the administration for the source of the survey, but found no answers there either. "We thought, It's got to be someone within the system. The box where the surveys were dropped had a logo from the Staff Directory," said Pender. Linda Leiter, secretary of Student Services, said she has no idea from where the survey came. Barbara Davis, receptionist in the President's Office, and Sandra Punch, coordinator of Student Services at SDSU North County and CSUSM, also were perplexed over the survey's origin. "Itjustappeared,"saidPunch.Most of the flyers that are distributed around campus pass through Punch's office. After finding no link between the administration and the survey, Pender pulled all copies from the Student Lounge and gave them to the Office of Student Services. Yearbook subcommittee member Mary Parker said she saw a welldressed man in his forties place surveys in the Student Lounge last semester, but thought the survey was a college-sanctioned document. Pender and officials are also perplexed over a reference to the "Student Affairs Office" at the bottom of the questionnaire. The official title belonging to the department which handles student activity is "Student Services" and not "Student Affairs." The survey is printed on a blue stock paper similar to that found in the university's copy rooms, but it was written on a typewriter and not a computer. The college uses computers for most of its document drafts. Pender said shedoesn't believe the survey was distributed out of malice, but feels it could harm the reputation of the yearbook committee. "Because of this, the yearbook is not going to be putting out surveys," cited Pender. "Why would anybody go through such trouble—such cost— to sabotage the yearbook?" mission of the virus is by sexual exposure, blood transfusions, needle exposure, and perinatal exposure (in the pregnancy and birth process). Among the college age population, Hepatitis B virus is transmitted mainly through heterosexual activity with either a carrier or someone who has the active disease. What is new is that heterosexual activity as a cause of HBV has increased 38 percent in the last five years, accounting for 25 percent of the cases of HBV, and replacing homosexual activity on importance as ariskfactor. Heterosexual activity considered as highrisk for HBV infection includes duration of sexual activity (years sexually active), number of sexual partners, and history of other STDs. As any/each of these risk factors increase, so does theriskof acquisition of Hepatitis B virus infection. As a prevention strategy, "safer sex" helps by the use of condoms and by decreasing the number of sexual partners in order to reduce exposure to infectious semen and vaginal secre- tions. However, the HBV can be present in other body fluids such as saliva so that intimate contact may be risky. Vaccination of persons at highriskis the best way to significantly decrease the incidence of HBV in the college-age population. Student Health Services through SDSU is conducting an educational intervention that looks at ways in which students receive information about Hepatitis B and their need to receive the HBV vaccine (at a reduced cost). If you think you or a friend are atrisk,contact Health Services at Cal State San Marcos, SDSU North County campus, 471-3578, to have your questions answered about your risk and how to receive the HBV vaccine. In the next column J will discuss the health effects of caffeine consumption. Please submit health-related questions in the envelope outside of Student Health Services.

Times Advocate proposal requires student approval In early 1990, Cal State San Marcos invited entrepreneurs to participate in the creation of this nation's first public university in nearly a quarter century. The founders, and subsequent staff, of Pioneer newspaper proudly accepted this offer. It's our pleasure to have initiated the process of student publication. The press is organic to a democratic society, and our staff weighs its role accordingly. Likewise, it is gratifying to hear from numerous students and staff commending our work. In the interim, the Escondido based Times Advocate offered a package deal to the budding campus. Their proposition, if implemented, wouldrequire every Cal State San Marcos student to subscribe to the Times Advocate newspaper as a condition to attending school. In turn, the Times Advocate would enable the founding of a College of Journalism through a combination of capital and services support. The official school newspaper (not the Pioneer) would be a mere insert in the Escondido daily. This offer has met with widespread disappointment. Firstly, the Times Advocate is proposing an exclusive service contract—spending student paid fees—so don't mistake this for philanthropy. It is neither a corporate gift nor an endowment. Secondly, Cal State San Marcos would be obligating its students to buy a private tabloid through the imposition of student fees. This steals our freedom to make choices as consumers of news. Furthermore, it puts the University in the position of endorsing a private firm's services on an exclusive basis. initially, it seems exciting to be the recipient of an entire newsroom, even at the expenses stated. Unfortunately, the greatest cost is unstated: the inevitable mediocrity that would result from a journalism department shackled to a local daily. The best journalism students will not attend a program that directs its efforts to producing an insert anymore than the highly talented would write for the Pennysaver. Likewise, the best professors of the trade would be reluctant to teach for a department that depends on a private enterprise for its continued existence. Certainly it would be the first time that Cal Sate San Marcos steers itself to less than excellence in any endeavor. The most perplexing—and reprehensible— situation, however, is not the Time Advocate's behavior. Private firms should, rationally, do everything possible to increase their value, and it is not my purpose to condemn them f or trying. On the contrary, the greatestdisappointment is the University a dministration'sfailureto D AVID H AMMOND c i t f ' £ PIONEER COLUMNIST Times A dvo- cate's offer in light of their previous handling of a much less offensive offer of a Geology chair. In that instance, the donor requested that his theories be tested, presumably by the scholar he sought to subsidize. Ultimately, President S tacy scrubbed the idea in the interest of academic integrity. An inconsistency is apparent in the responses of an academic community that until now religiously promoted the tenants of political correctness. When an individual tries to "buy" a testing ground for his scientific theories, it is taboo to the purists. However, when a firm attempts to create and dictate the operations of a whole school of journalism, the overall reaction is indifference. Obviously we share our path with hypocrites. Perhaps most outrageous is the fact that the voice of student government—the Student Governance Task Force, and its subcommittees—is being ignored. In November of 1990, the Newspaper Subcommittee,charged by Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt to formulate recommendations for an official school paper, rejected the Times Advocate proposal. Surprisingly, this conclusion was not the basis for further action by the Administration. I urge the University Council to relinquish student newspaper decisions to the student government I further beg of the University administration to act consistently by sticking to precedent and rejecting any and all offers that are less than a gift. If Cal State San Marcosexpects to recruit entrepreneurs, it must be sure that the reward of recognition is the prize of the truly giving. Mothers, wives, girlfriends. Are you tired of financing wars started by posturing, impotent old men with the blood of your sons and lovers? Do your intestines knot when you watch the cowards who are our congressional representatives give away their constitutional right to declare war? Then, if you have the stomach for it, you may want to follow this advice for ending all war and creating a truly new world order. Tonight, while your male loved one sleeps, gently go to him. Whisper PIONEER COLUMNIST your love for him, and t hen... slit his throat from ear to ear. Sick? Outrageous? Disgusting? Definitely. But look at the failure of lesser measures. Almost 2500 years ago, Lysistrata, the heroine of Aristophanes' play of the same name, attempted to stop war by uniting all the women of Athens. These wives of Greek soldiers withheld sex from their husbands until the latter agreed to never fight again. Looking at the evening news, it obviously didn't work. Lysistrata, and all women throughout the millenia, have failed to recognize one important f act We men prefer making war to making love. Perhaps it's testosterone poisoning. This hormone gives men greater physical strength and also appears to trigger aggressive behavior. Perhaps i t's environmental. Men have been raised with the belief that anger is the only socially acceptable emotion. Probably it's a combination of both. But whatever the cause of the problem, the destruction of the world can only be reversed by women uniting and reclaiming their power. And I'm not referring to the women's movement. The Gloria Allreds and Steinems of the world, well-intentioned as they are, have contented themselves with seeking financial and political equality with males. This is as absurd as a cheetah seeking genetic equality with a snail because it envies the glittering slime traiHt makes on a sidewalk. Face it, ladies. We men are on the verge of destroying the only planet you've got. There are no suburbs to flee to this time. Only a revolution by all the women of the world has any chance to save the human species. Too long have you been the mourners and nurses for the dead and dying. Too long have you deferred your power to male-dominated misinterpretations of the Bible, Koran and Torah. They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Modern Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,is ancient Mesopotamia, "the cradle of civilization." We men are now rocking that cradle with bombs, oil spills and ego-terrorism of the worst kind. If you women don't shed your meekness along with your veils and feminine deodorant spray, and reclaim your God-given power as giversoflife, your only legacy will be the stench of a dead ocean and dying earth spreading from here to eternity.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. t> 4JJ v jtttfi U l l / l l The other day I met asoldier in line at the grocery store. Dressed in combat fatigues, he looked tired and uneasy. He told me he had just arrived back home, from the Persian Gulf. When I asked him what it was like to be in the Middle East during the conflict, he said nothing. The look of weariness on his face told all I needed to know. "Isn't it great to be back home," I asked. "Could be better," he said. He motioned to the television set in the store's lobby, playing the latest war coverage. Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic sat in a wheelchair leading thousands of demonstrators through San Francisco. This account of two people in a grocery store actually happened. The soldier, weary from travel, came home 16 find a feeling of dismay on the homefront. Therightto protest in the United States is a fundamental and necessary component to the system of democracy in which we live. But we, as Americans, must realize that protestation can be more damaging to our soldiers than enemy fire. Ron Kovic, of all people, should realize this fact. When he left Vietnam with crippling injuries, he came home to rains of spit rather than confetti. In one of the San Francisco demonstrations, which he led two weeks ago, 1,000 protestors were arrested. In fact, more people were arrested during that demonstration than any S TAFF E DITORIAL PIONEER NEWSPAPER during the Vietnam War. Where were the protestors when Hussein forcefully took over Kuwait? In this action can truly be found a reason for protest: It is one thing to hold prayer vigils and tie a yellow ribbon for the troops oversees, it is another thing to clog the streets of a major city with unruly and completely counterproductive demonstrations. Nobody but a madman would revel in the muck of war. Unfortunately the world contains one such lunatic by the name of Saddam Hussein. His unprovoked attacks against Israel—a nation which originally chose to stay removed from the conflict—are nothing less than sadistic. Protestors tread heavily on the memory of those Israelis lost in senseless SCUD attacks. His dumping of millions of gallons of oil into the Persian Gulf is nothing less than environmental terrorism. Protestors do nothing but muddy the environment of global awareness by giving credence to a man who has little concern for the world around him. His occupation of Kuwait is nothing less than dictatorial. Protestors disregard therightof an oppressed nation to share the same freedoms of speech and protest that they are exercising. War did not push Hussein into performing these actions. He instigated them because he is sociopathic. Our soldiers are there to lessen a madman's control over an important corner of the world. Nobody dislikes war more than those who are employed by the government to fight i t When they come home from work they deserve to be treated to warmth and kindness and not to the unmeaningly cold messages of protestors. Those who fight Hussein in the Gulf may not be fighting a just war (since there is no such thing as a just war), but they are fighting a necessary war. Now more than ever they need our unflappable support. Hussein wishes for a disjointed America and tides of protestation bring waves of division. It must be remembered that the conflict in the Gulf is not a mirror image of Vietnam. This conflict is more akin to a war fifty years ago where another madman sought control of the world. Our soldiers then were treated with the respect they deserved and earned. Our soldiers now should receive the same treatment. If you want to rally against the soldiers overseas, then put your protest signs and your love beads in the back of your psychedelic VW van and groove on back to the 60s where your exploits will be appreciated. L etters t o t h e E ditor Students stress to President importance of their opinions Dear President Stacy: One of the things remembered from our orientation last summer is your explanation of how this university was going to be different. With you as its leader, CSUSM was going to develop into an institution where the students' interests came first; for, as you stated, without the students there would be no need for faculty and administration. The first day of classes began with instructors who were extremely enthusiastic about the different outlook that this administration had compared with what they had encountered at other colleges. Each professor emphasized the open policy where the student was of primary importance. As the semesterprogressed it was easy to see that indeed this was a different school. Classes became like families, with classmates quickly becoming as close as cousins. Each of the courses offered lively discussions where concepts were not only taught by the professors but discovered by the students as well. Sitting in the Student Lounge and listening to students from all fields of study, one never heard words of complaint about the quality of instruction. There were many complaints about too much homework, as would be expected, but there was no talk about not taking an instructor because he/she couldn't teach. CSUSM was developing into just the university you had predicted. It was a university where education and the student really mattered. As the semester drew to a close, we noted that some of our professors were not promoting their next semester's classes. When we asked what they would be teaching, we found that, since they were only part time, they didn't know if they would be back or not. Worried that the "powers that be" in the administration may not know how we students felt about our "temporary" professors, we made an appointment with the appropriate administrator to express our concern. We told that administrator that those part-time instructors were among the best that higher education had to offer. The administrator suggested that we send in L ETTERS W ELCOME PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs.

We were assured that these letters would be copied and seht to the offices of the people who made the choices of whether or not to retain the instructors. So we sent the letters. The next week evaluation sheets were sent to classes. There is little question that our instructors received glowing assessments. Can you imagine how shocked and let down we were to find that few of those tremendous instructors were returning? We recognize that it is the university's option to retain or dismiss part-time faculty, but we also feel that the opinions of the student population should be at least considered and not simply brushed aside. We feel impotent in our ability to help this college plant a solid foundation on which the education of generations to come will be built. We have great confidence that the new instructors chosen are of the utmost competence; however, we are reluctant to adopt them as our mentors if they are only to pass with the changing semesters. Dr. Stacy, we realize that you are not directly responsible for what has occurred, yet we send a plea to you, as this university's highest authority , to once again stress to your administrators the importance of student opinion and the tragedy which occurs when it is ignored. We only ask that the students' point of view be considered as much as it is at other institutions of higher education.

PST on January 16, America sat mesmerized as bombs began to drop on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The global community suddenly became smaller as Cable News Network brought the first live reports of the war in the Persian Gulf from Bernard Shaw, John Holliman and Peter Arnett. The world's first prime time war had begun. Pizza franchises yielded record delivery sales, and retail stores became like mortuaries as Americans gave the war the attention of a Super Bowl game. CNN rocketed to an 11 percent rating share (10.9 percentage points above regular ratings) and became the primary source of Gulf news'in an instant. Since the first bombs hit Iraq, the world waits with anxiety for the next moves in a multi-billion dollar game of chess. We've watched as SCUD missiles hit Tel Aviv, and Patriot missiles hit the SCUDS. We've seen pictures of battered and bruised hostages. We've witnessed an oil spill twelve times larger than that created in the Exxon Valdez accident and cheered as the source of the leakage was stopped. We've been stunned when Iraq took over the Saudi village of Khafji and our hearts grieved when 11 Camp Pendleton Marines lost their lives to friendly fire there. But most of all we've been confused. With the volumes of information about the war that comes daily, the public looks for some kind of order among the mayhem. What will happen next is anybody's guess, and nobody's knowledge.

C HEMICAL W EAPONS Chemical weapons are considered the poor man's atom bomb. These deadly weapon systems can be constructed by many of the world's nations today. Theycan beplacedon 1960s-vintage missile, widely available on the arms market, in a chemical warhead made from readily available chemicals. There are severalchemicals used in warheads. Some of those chemicals and their reactions are listed below: • Cyanide and other blood agents: When inhaled, it blocks the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. It can cause eye irritation, choking and sometimes death. • Chlorine and phosgene: These chemicals burn the lining of the lungs. When plasma leaks into the lungs from the bloodstream, victim's drown in their own fluids. • M ustard Gas and other Blistering Agents: Can cause vomiting, nausea, skin irritation and blistering, eye-irritation and short-term blindness. It can be lethal in large amounts. • Nerve Gas: Nerve gas can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It attacks the nervous system and is highly toxic; this gas can kill in 15 minutes. Total isolation from the chemical agent is the only protection. U.S. soldiers use a two piece suit with special boot covers and gloves. A chemical mask and hood are used to protect the head. Different kinds of masks are used in different nations, the U.S. military offers three different types: • M17 A1 is used by the infantry, it has small eyelets. The filter, inside the cheek pouch of the mask, is good for about 24 hours before filling with dust. • M43 is used in helicopters. It allows Apache pilots, in particular, to wear their special sighting system gear and the mask at the same time. The M43 also is attached to the ventilator which blows in fresh air. • M25 A1 is used by tanks and armored vehicles. It is similar to the M17 and is also connected to a breathing unit. It has a wider face cover than the M17 so that the vehicle operators have far better visibility. Ideally, masks are fitted to the individual wearer to avoid readjustment in the 13 seconds required for putting them on. Masks are put on like catchers' masks, then attached by four straps. A wearer needs to blow into the canister to clear it, then breathe normally. WE HAVE THE BEST FAKES EVERYWHERE! �ÄGDEN1university in sine J azz t rio k eeps PIONEER/TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1991 K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER "Look at those guys! Haven't I seen them around campus somewhere?" No, your eyes are not misleading you, The Jazz group playing at noon in the Student Lounge today, is in fact made up of University students and employees. Bob Boss, John "Ironman" Harris and Gunnar B iggs make up the North County university community's own jazz trio. The members of the group have known each other for years throughout the jazz circuit, but had never played together as a group until they ran into each other on campus. The Uni versity Jazz Trio, so named in aSan Diego State University, North County newsletter, first came about when Biggs walked into the Aztec Shops last September and saw Boss and Harris working. "We have a trio right here," he exclaimed. Biggs approached the "powers that be" and and found them to be enthusiastic about the idea. Pat Hinkle came up with the sponsorship for the group and the University Jazz Trio was born. In fall they played the Student Lounge at the beginning of the semester and in the parking lot at end of the first semester's festivities. "Music is a combination of melody, harmony , and rhythm," disclosed Boss. "Jazz, first takes the melody which is whistleable, then adds harmony which colors it and gives it shape and last the rhythm which holds it all together." He went on to explain that jazz is made up of theme and development — tension and relief The University Jazz Trio, comprised of Gunnar Biggs (bass), John "Ironman" Harris (drums), and Bob Boss (guitar), play at fall's end of the semester celebration.

This month they will be giving a two day seminar at the Idlewilde School of Professional Arts. The Ironman, so called because he never misses a gig and knows every melody that was ever written, is planing to write a book about his experiences being a international jazz musician. Boss started to play guitar at age 12. Living in Berkeley gave him many opportunities to see his idols like the great Jimmy Hendricks and the Grateful Dead. When Hendricks was interviewed, the young Boss would listen; and when Hendricks said his idol was Jim Hall or John Caltran, Boss would search these out guitarists and emulate their styles. It wasn't long before he became interested in jazz guitar. He played in clubs and concerts while getting a Masters degree in Humanities at Chico State. Moving back to the Berkeley area after college, he made music his full time career. He preformed with Vince Wallace, Baomi and Smiley Winters, to name a few. His guitar is heard on an album with Ernie Mansfield. As a member of the Sherman Rubin Band, he backed several great jazz artists including Richie Cole, Red Rodney and Eddie Harris.

This one makes you think as well as entertains. 3 . 'Awakenings' The most unlikely combination of hyper-intense comic Robin Williams and very serious dramatic actor Robert DeNiro creates an emotional look at life—something we all take for granted. Williams should walk away with an Oscar this time for a convincing portrayal of a doctor so absorbed in his work that he almost missed out on what life's all about. 4.'Mountains of the Moon' This sweeping saga tells the true story of two explorers looking for the source of the Nile in deepest Africa. The film is notable for the brilliant performances of Patrick Bergin (soon to be seen with JuliaRoberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy') andFiona Shaw. 5. 'Hamlet' Yes, i t's true. Mel Gibson can do Shakespeare. He's a riveting force as the self-destructive Hamlet. Glen Close, brilliant as usual, plays the role of his mother, Gertrude. 6 . 'Goodfellas' Mel Gibson as Hamlet. Ray Liotta puts in a strong performance in a movie that cuts so close to the heart of the Italian mafia that they took offense. JocPesci and Robert DeNiro also run away with their respective roles. 7. 'Ghost' This ultimate love story stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with Whoopi Goldberg thrown in for comic relief. This film touched the heart of America in such a big way, it deserves mention. 8. 'Reversal of Fortune' Jeremy Irons is positively devious as the enigmatic Klaus von Bulow, who was acquitted of causing his wife's coma through an injection of insulin. Kudos to Run Silver as his defense attorney Who is not sure what to make of his weird client. 9. 'Presumed Innocent' Scott Turrow's novel is intelligently adapted to the screen for a look at a man's portrayal and the inner workings of politics in a district attorney's office. Harrison Ford is solid, but Bonnie Bedelia runs away with the movie as Ford's bitter wife. 10. 'Postcardsfrom the Edge' Carrie Fisher proves that she's not justanother Princess Leia. Her simple, but eloquent screenplay reveals Hollywood life through actress Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) and her famous singing mother (Shirley MacLaine).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'There's a law that passed in support offilm,sort of to encourage film making in Mexico which I think is going to make it easier ." An easier time may also be in store for Arizmendi "Like Water For Chocolate" has gained both audiences and critics approval. It has also collected a number of honors which include 10 Ariel Awards (Mexican Oscars), over 11 international festival awards, as well as a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at this years Golden Globe ceremonies. "I think now that I'm with this film, which is getting so much attention in the United States, it's easier to go to Los Angeles and say, Well, Now will you look at me?"* And attention is defiantly being givento Arizmendi. "It's been nice finding out that people are interested. Obviously, when they see me and they know that I speak English it becomes a whole new possibility."

Arizmendifeels, "It's a wonderful play. It will be done in Spanish one night, English the other so it will be a very interestingproject" And all of this on top of the work Yareli does for California State University, San Marcos.

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

"These students will be penalized by 'double dipping' tuition." The increase comes on the heels of a $50 per unit increase already in place at California Community Colleges. Officials at Palomar College reported a 53 percent drop in the number of college graduates enrolled this spring. College graduates have become the latest target for fee hikes at California State Universities with an increase that could shoot as high as $4,500. Beginning this fall, graduates who have a bachelor's degree will be required to pay a "differential fee," $150 more per unit than non-graduates.

This adds to the impact forecasted by a report called "Economic Impact of the CSU on the California Economy," written by Robert Girling of Sonoma State University, Sherry Keith of San Francisco State University and George Goldman at the University of California, Berkeley. The report suggests that budget cuts will result in a 7 percent to 12 percent decrease in thé number of degrees granted each year by t h e 20 CSU campuses for the next nine years. Teaching is likely to suffer because CSU trains nearly 75 percent of California's public school teachers, the report said. Stacy closes campus after power outage ROMAN S. K E /EDITOR-1N-CHIEF O NIG Cal State University San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy shut down the campus Feb. 18 after yet another major storm pummeled the county, leaving the campus without power. According to Stacy, San Diego Gas & Electric crews were called to the area after a power outage along Barham Drive cut electricity to the university. Stacy said that despite the inconvenience of the outage, it gave the university the opportunity to test its back-up electricity generator. "We have an emergency generator and back-up power on campus, and it was t h e first time we had occasion to turn it o n — and it failed," said Stacy. Stacy said h e was told that power would not be restored forfiveor six hours after SDG&E crews made it to the scene, so h e cancelled classes for the day since many rooms without windows and rooms with computers could not be used. He said that in hindsight, however, this was a mistake. He said "the president's inexperience with the power going off in California" led to thedecisiontoclosethecampus, "which was a big mistake to do." Stacy explained that power was restored considerably earlier than the original time estimate, and late afternoon and evening classes could have been held. He said that one professor who was at a conference during die day in Los Angeles rushed back down in driving rain to meet her class only to find the campus closed. "They told u s it would be two to three ROMAN S.

Well, they were able to repair itwithin two hours," said Stacy. T h e president said that although closing the campus may not have been the best idea, it was necessary for safety since it was impossible to work in the darkened conditions. Stacy also indicated thattheeventcalled attention to having a ôet plan for similar situations in the future. "Now looking at it, I'm sorry we didn't have a system to coordinate (closing) and opening (the campus)," h e said. Major rains also caused flooding last Friday on the first floor of Craven Hall, leaving approximately two inches of water in some offices and in t h e Student Health Services center, an official with the center said. Workers at t h e scene cleaning up the flooded offices refused comment on the situation, and officials with the Facilities department could not be reached for comment as to t h e flood's cause. �wkaú/\¡ews WASC accreditation team coming to campus T h e campus community is asked to mark its calendars for t h e upcoming accreditation visit by a review board which will determine if Cal State San Marcos will be an accredited university, said Diane (Johnson) Martin, assistant vice president for academic affairs. The accreditation site visit by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) will take place March 23-26, she said. Students are encouraged to take part in the accreditation process by reviewing CSUSM's self-study, a document outlining the university's goals for its accreditation, said Martin. Copies of the document are available in the Associated Students office or on reserve in the library, she said. "The purpose of accreditation is that (it) establishes standards for universities... to further educational excellence," said Martin. aAnd then what happens is that each institution is responsible for defining its own characteristics for excellence." The university is then reviewed to see if it is meeting those goals. Accreditation is then decided by the visiting committee from WASC. She said students are also involved in the process, as the WASC officials interview members of the campus community to help determine their decision. According to Martin, interviewers will talk with a representative sample of the campus (i.e. students, staff, administration and faculty) and ask questions related to the self-study. The WASC officials then write up their report determining if the university is worthy of accreditation. Martin said that by reading and understanding the university's self-study, students can help meet the goals presented in the document. Additional information can be obtained by calling Martin at 752-4052 or Nancy Curry at 752-4129, Martin said.

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

"We looked at that issue early on," said Punch. "What we (including Zomalt) looked at was discrimination against homosexuals and as (the military, FBI, etc.) are government agencies as we are a government agency, we cannot prohibit their freedom of speech" justthe same as students can exhibit theirs in their interes t Punch said that since President Clinton h a s made some changes in terms of recruitment practices concerning the issue, the situation has been helped as well. Meeker, who manages the University Store (both are part of Aztec Shops), say they are aware of the problems facing students when it comes to food on campus:first,the lack of variety and / or healthfulfoodsatboth thecafé and bookstore, and secondly, the fact that the café closes at 2 p.m., leaving afternoon and evening students with insufficient food availability. T ogether , M arten s and Meeker are planning to offer a greater variety of foods to better fit the needs of morning, afternoon and evening students. Until the student population increases and the café can afford a larger workforce, it will con- tinue to close a t 2 p.m., according to Martens. Instead, she plans to improve the variety of food offered in the Dome Café. Plans include the opening of a taco bar offering tacos sold by the ounce, a pasta bar and perhaps a french toast and p ancak e b reakfas t available between 8 a m . and 10 a.m. For the health-minded, products by Naked Food will be offered.These include Naked Juice fruit and vegetable concoctions a s well as a variety of Nutrimental fruit and vegetable salads. In addition to the snacks already offered at the café, Martens said She also said that Scottwanted to interrupt the actual fair going on in the Dome, but was asked to p rotes t outside t h e building, which he did. "I understand Donald Scott's position," she said. "And while he h a s t h e r igh t to f reedo m of speech, so do the employers." D espit e t h e c ontroversy , Punch said that the inaugural career fair was a success. "The employer reactions were extremely favorable," she said, adding that the employers in attendance were given evaluation, forms that showed the enthusiastic response. Punch also added thatstudentevaluations were also very favorable. She said t ha t e mployer s pointed outthataccommodations for them were excellent and that the caliber of students was very high. Student evaluations showed t ha t t hey , too, w er e overall pleased but would have liked more recruiters, she said. According to Punch, some employers who planned to attend the fair pulled out at t h e last minute because of hiring freezes andfinancial constraints. Shealso said three applicationswere made with the Peace Corps during the event With the success of this first fair, Punch said she is now looking to next fall's career fair. She said the morning segment will consist of recruiters from businesses and the afternoon fair will focus on graduate schools. "If we. have a good response from recruiters now, it will build a foundations for future fairs," she said. SEE F O /PAGE 12 OD �Pioneer Respect freedom of choice, voice Freedom of speech and choice at a university campus is of paramount importance, as it apparently is at Cal State San Marcos. There was no greater example of that recently than during the Inaugural Career Fair, where student Donald Scott let it be Oar w known his views about lifting the ban on gays in the military. Although Pioneer a gree s with this stand, it is also equally important for others to express the'opposite view, as was shown by the presence of military recruiters during the career fair. Career Center Director Sandy Punch and other university officials made the right decision in letting the recruiters on campus for this reason. No matter how one looks at it, the lifting of the ban is imminent, and no matter how thin you slice it, gays are in the military already — they always have been. Until the day comes when the ban is lifted, however, it is important to show tolerance towards the military's current position, and to allow other students the freedom to chose a military career.

One recent event on campus drove that home for me. These last two months are fast going down in San Diego history as some of the wettest on record. This would surely have an unanticipated effect on the workings of brand new buildings. As a result, leaks, floods and power outages would be expected here at Cal State San Marcos as kinks in the structures are being worked o u t Apparently, however, some in the Far ciMesdepartmenttake this very seriously; seriously enough to dictate to me the importance of stories concerning these issues. LastFriday, a s l went to Student Health Services to take care of some business, I was told by one of the officials there that there had been a flood on thefirstfloor of Craven Hall, where Student Health Services is located. Sure enough, behind a doorway in the complex there were Facilities workers cleaning up the mess left by the flood. I had my camera bag and notebook in hand, thinking that this might make an interesting story for the paper. For the first round, when I asked about what had happened, all I got were dirty and suspicious looks, as if there was a cover-up or Point With this reasoning I said that there wasn't, and one of them snapped back at me with a quick "Yes, there are." Next, I asked why they weren't being cooperative and they claimed that it would make them look bad if this situation were reported in the paper. Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing "bad" about seeing Facilities workers rushing diligently to clean up and solve a problem. Sure, they may have been under a tremendous amount of stress, but that gave them no right to dictate to me the importance of the story; they could have just amply referred me to the head of the department for information. Ironically, no one was at the office when I called and the voice mail system was not answering. Come press time this week, I had no choice but to run a blurb about the incident with little if any information. The fact is that there is something wrong with the buildings if they are flooding like Craven Hall, and the campus community has the right to know about i t But apparently, some people in Facilities don't see it that way. They gave the appearance that problems with the buildings are to be kept secret from the people who utilize the facilities every day. By doing t ha t they give the whole operation an appearance that is much more suspicious than I know it really is. o^ {/i&w ROMAN S. KOENIG something. This, however, was only t h e tip of the iceberg. Afterfinishingmy business in Student Health Sendees, I promptly left and went around to the front entrance of the building on the first floor. Just past the entry way to my right was the same hallway filled with what seemed like two inches of water on the floor. Just as I got my camera out of the bag, the workers stopped what they were doing and l ef t I asked them what was wrong and they said they didn't want their picture taken. I had no problem with that whatsoever. I f s always been my belief that if someone doesn't want a newspaper camera in their face, that right should be respected. I thought then I could at least get some information about what had happened. Then they got hostile with me, telling me that there were more important things to cover on campus. ...Not on a stormy Friday afternoon. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy, when interviewed about the campus closure after the power outage on Feb. 18, had no problem telling Pioneer that there may have been flaws in how the closure was handled. He even put a bright side to i t saying that it brought to light the importance of haviiig a set plan in future instances of that nature. Those in Facilities who think that not talking about the problem is the avenue to take should reevaluate their way of thinking. The treatment I received last Friday was unfair to me, unfair to the campus community and unprofessional to say the least Physical problems, as I said, are to be expected in a new building, and although the flood looked bad, it would have been simple to explain what the problems were and how they were being rectified rather than to hide them under the table as these workers deemed necessary to do. If everyone treated me or any other reporter of this newspaper with the attitude that they can judge what goes in this publication, Pioneer would not be the independent campus voice it is striving to be. And the losers in that scenario would be you, the reader. �öfreetTäl» Q uestion : How could the Rodney King trial been handled better?

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

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

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

Cindy Bowman was the San Marcos recipient and Stephanie Miko was the Vista Chapter recipient Thefts at San Marcos remain relatively low LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER Although automobile burglaries and thefts representee most common property crimes committed on college campuses, the problem has yet to surface at Cal State San Marcos. But, with vehicle thefts on the rise in San Diego County and a permanent campus site slated to open in fall, it is probable thatCSUSM, like many other college campuses, will become a prime target for car thiefs in the future. Dora Knoblock, of Student Auxiliary Services, said that CSUSM has received no reports of vehicle thefts or break-ins since instruction began in fall 1990. Because CSUSM holds its classes at a temporary site, would-be thieves might not realize that a campus exists. The parking lot currently being used is also heavily patrolled during hours of instruction by Wells Fargo Security. Although other campuses have staterun police forces, officers have more ground to cover than those at CSUSM and are rarely visible. "College campuses are the ideal picking ground for cars," said Boyd Mahan, head of the Palomar College Campus Patrol. Mahan said that due to the higher concentration of cars, thieves have more chances of finding a vehicle that is easy to break into without detection. Car thieves also are assured that students will be awayfromtheir vehicles for at least one hour. Both factors make college communitiesripeareas for car thefts. Since Palomar College is located in the same general area and now has approximately the same number of students as is expected at CSUSM in the future, current car theft patterns at the community college could give an indication offiituretrends at the university. According to Mahan, Palomar College experiences six to seven car thefts in one year. Other car break-ins and thefts of stereos and accessories are more frequent. He said Campus Patrol receives at least one call a week reporting a car break-in. San D iego iSÄ äi ÏÏÎ State University, S Mg the nearest Cal PART THREE IN A SERIES State school to CSUSM, has a much higher rate of theft than does Palomar College. A recent article in The San Diego Union rates SDSU as one of the prime target areas for car thefts in San Diego County. Fifteen vehicles a week are stolen from the campus. Throughout the CSU, SDSU has the highest rate of vehicle thefts. Lieutenant Tom Schulteis, from SDSU's Public Safety Department, said that the occurrences of car thefts at SDSU reflect the size of the campus. "We have a very high incidence of property crimes at SDSU," Schulteis said. "But if you look at the figures closely, rates of theft are relatively proportionate." Not only the size, but the location of the SDSU campus may be a contributing factor to its high vehicle theft rate. San Diego County has the highest rate of vehicle theft in the state of California, with an automobile stolen every 15 minutes. Local law enforcement officials say that vehicles are stolen to transport illegal aliens from Mexico. The high incidence of drug abuse in the county is another contributing factor. "Many times, cars are stripped down for their parts," said Michael Franklin of the Escondido Police Department. "Thesa parts can then be easily pawned for a few quick bucks." Franklin said that the recovery rate for stolen vehicles in -San Diego County runs about 60 percent In many cases the recovered cars are stripped down to theframe.He said that rates of theft are so high that the police department rarely investigates episodes once the vehicles are recovered. "We would spend virtually all our man-hours tracking down thiefs if we followed up on every car that was stolen," Franklin said. Automobile thieves are selective of the types of vehicles they take. Eleven of the 15 most stolen cars are Toyotas. The 1988 Hyundai Excel is the mostfrequentlylifted vehicle. Franklin said that Toyotas and Hyundais are popular because they are easy to break into and their parts are easy to sell. Trucks and vans are also popular items for thieves. Franklin said that stolen trucks and vans are frequently used to smuggle illegal aliens across the border. Motor vehicle thefts throughout the nation comprise the highest dollar amounts of property crimes. In 1988, it was estimated that $6,408,806,000 worth of automobiles were stolen throughout the nation. A more recent 1991 survey indicates that vehicle thefts have risen 12 percent since that time.

And what else to write about but cholesterol, a frequently dreaded subject by many. The latest news is that a panel of experts convened by the National Institutes of Health are recommending that knowing your total cholesterol levels alone is not enough. They also recommend you need to know the status of your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol - the so-called good cholesterol. HDL-cholesterol is considered to be protective against heart disease since it is believed to prevent or possibly reverse fatty deposits in the coronary (heart) arteries as well as in other arteries. In general, total cholesterol levels below 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood are considered to be normal. However, 5 to 10 percent of people have total cholesterol levels of less than 200 and are thought to be at lowriskbut have unhealthy low levels of HDLcholesterol. Levels below 35 milligrams per deciliter of blood are considered highriskfor heart disease. What determines your level of HDLcholesterol? The two major factors are HEALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D. genetics and gender. Your family genetic background could be the root of a low HDL-cholesterol level. Women have higher levels than men mostly related to hormones. After menopause, the levels can be closer to men. It is often said the higher the HDL level the better and for every one (1) milligram increase in HDL, there is a 2 percent to 3 percent decrease in heart disease risk. Even though your HDL may be low because of genetics and gender, there still are methods to increase the HDL level. The most significant method to increase your HDL is by guess what? Exercise! Funny thing how your body works. This usually has to be aerobic exercise, of course, but no one can tell you specifically how much exercise will raise the levels by so much etc. Secondly, weight loss, if needed, will increase the HDL and usually lower the total cholesterol. Lastly, if you smoke, stopping will increase your HDL. As you might expect, not everybody agrees with these new recommendations. Some doctors think that if one is at low risk for heart disease, a total cholesterol is all that is needed. Certainly, if one has known risk factors such as family history of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, tobacco use and sedentary life-styles a full cholesterol evaluation is recommended. At Student Health Services we always do a full cholesterol evaluation because our laboratory will do the full evaluation for a very low cost and we feel the information is useful. Another point is that no decision about treatment or life-style should be based on one measurement. Although the total cholesterol and HDL don't vary from day to day by much, there can be lab errors. At least two measurements a week apart should be performed to make appropriate decisions concerning treatment or life-style changes.

Granted, all of the students will be graduating before any of the facilities will b e seen, but this class has to begin P URVIEWS * STAFF GMT W H ) SEEM THE "FULLCODKriK Voters should bounce congressmen out With thePresidential primaries at hand, it would seem that the only office for contention on the November ballot is that of the Chief Executive. Every four years voters neglect the equally (if not more) important task of electing Congressional representatives. Over and over, those who previously held office regain their seats without having to put up much of a fight Recently, however, public attentions have been diverted from the Presidential campaign to Congressional activities. With "Rubbergate" bounding into thepublic spectrum, voters are suddenly aware of the types of persons they continually elect to manage public fimds. By using the now-defunct House Bank, Congressional Representatives could write checks and attain loans without having to pay interest or charges for overdrawn notes. Given such freedom, 296of the440members and delegates in the House of Representatives abused their privileges and overdrew their accounts. Once this bad check scandal hit the presses, Representatives emerged in droves to admit their overdrafts and to play on public sympathy for forgiveness. The March 23,1992 Newsweek lists Congressional rubbermeisters and their excuses f or bouncing checks. Although, on the surface, some of these rationales may seem valid, there exists underlying currents of deception in their justifications. House members, in an effort to gain public sympathy, come up with alibis to which the common person can seemingly relate. Buttheseexplanations show j ust how s everely o ut of t ouch Congresspersons are with their constituencies: Robert Dornan (R)v California — Wrote one overdraft for $100 to buy stones for a backyard LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF shrine to the Virgin Mary. Dornan might have cinched the die-hard Catholic vote with this plea, but alienated all other religious factions in the process. What Dornan actually bought was $ 100 worth of stones to be used at his political execution. Duncan Hunter (R), California—Overdrew 407 times in three years, totalling $129,225. Hunter said scholarship donations were the cause. Maybe Hunter should take advantage of those s cholarships and l earn how t o a dd. T he Representative* s political statement indicates that he takes a pro-education stance. The key to revitalizing education, however, lies in using real money and not floating funds for its support. Gerry Sikorski (D)y Minnesota — Admitted to 671 bad checks in just over three years totalling $119,966.67. Sikorski blames his wife Susan for mishandling the finances. This common excuse among Congressional representatives plays on the myth that women have no control over their spending habits. Not only should Sikorski and others like him lose all votes from women (yes, Congressman, women do have therightt o vote)» they should also lose all votes from the legions of political correctnoids who stress that wome%are just as shrewd at business as men. Curt Weldon (R), Pennsylvania — Had one overdraft for $2.49. How can we expect someone who c an't accommodate his checking account to cover a check for a couple of dollars to balance the federal budget? People who write $2 checks shouldn't b e in public office anyway. They shouldn't even be allowed in the grocery store. Charles Wilson (D)v Texas — Penned 81 bad checks, including a $6,500 note to the Internal Revenue Service. Wilson's bad check to the IRS reflects Congress* tactic of granting themselves pay increases. The amount of Wilson's bad check to the IRS would pay his salary for about one month. By bouncingachecktothegovernment,Wilsonplaces the entire burden of his own financial support on the taxpayers. Besides, any otherperson who writes such a large non-sufficient funds check to the IRS would be guilty of tax evasion. What "Rubbergate" illustrates more than anything, is the need to entirely retool the Congressional machine. For decades voters have paid little attention to whom they wereelecting to control the country's purse strings. In 1990, for instance, 96 percent of the incumbents who ran for reelection regained their seats. Voters seemed to virtually ignore candidates' platforms, opting instead for familiar faces. As a result of voter apathy, the U.S. now has a stagnant Congress that cannot balance a budget, wallows more in pork-barrel projects than the public interest, and enjoys numerous perks. L et's use "Rubbergate" as an opportunity to bounce the ineffectual politicians out of office and replace them with representatives which truly reflect the public interest EDITORIAL the process of funding the establishment of a Student Union. As students of the future enjoy the Student Union, they may not be able to recognize a lot of the students that built the complex. They will, however, recognize the classes that didn't contribute. . ..... Imagine the conversations: ' The first class of CSUSM was all right. Some of them established an Associated Student Government, started a yearbook* a newspaper and some interesting clubs. But the class as a whole was too cheap to contribute $20 a semester to build a Student Union." What else will happen if students d on't contribute to the establishment of a Student Union? Nothing much. Students will save $20 that probably will b e wasted sometime throughout the semester. The burden will go on to the next class, thus prolonging the construction of a Student Union. The planning has already been delayed a year when students voted against a Student Union f ee in the 1991 elections. Don'tdelay it any more. In the upcoming elections, April 27 and 28, vote yes on Measure A. The fee measure gives three price options: $20, $ 15 and $ 10. If money is the only factor f or a no vote, then compromise: vote yes and check option C for a $10 Student Union fee. If students do contribute, the $10 to $20 will b e well spent Then students of this first class will have the option of coming back to their Alma Mater and enjoy what they have built and tell their children and grandchildren "This is the Student Union I helped establish!" Invest is the future of CSUSM: Vote yes on Measure A. �Reflecting on experiences, challenges at California's newest university PIONEER C ai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeth, Ken Baurmeister, Dr.JoelGrinolds, Regina John CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992, by PIONEER, All rights reserved.

"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." MALCOLM X, 1960 Finals are once again upon us, however, this time it is different for me. This will be the last time I will ever take a final at CSUSM because I am graduating this semester. As I reflect back on my experiences at CSUSM, I am constantly reminded of the challenges that I have encountered; from the 2,500word writing requirement in each class, to the global awareness classes taken outside my major mid upper division G.E. requirements, not to mention my core major requirements themselves. Just getting to CSUSM was a challenge. Trying to keep up with the constantly changing G.E. requirements for acceptance here was stressful enough. Working to keep my head above water, neglecting my family and social life just went with die territory. But part of my reflections that are most special to me are the circumstances of how I actually made it through CSUSM. I was never really into school when I went to high school, just average grades and no college prep classes for me, I thought I could just surf every day (I still do) and that would be enough. When I decided to go to college, I was at a disadvantage, with no college prep classes under my belt, and spent quite a few semesters at MiraCosta College paying for it in prerequisite classes. I finally came over the community college hurdle and was ready for CSUSM. Still unsure of myself and my ability to complete a bachelors degree, there was one person who really helped me take on the challenge. This person gave to me the self-confidence that I needed and gave me not only the emotional support/but die financial support also. This person is my grandfather, James Ronald Sagel. Grandfather has always supported me in whatever I have wanted to do, his only requirement was that I was happy doing it. Whatever made me happy, he was happy helping me do i t So when I decided to go to college, he was behind me and gave me the courage and confidence to take on an area of my life that was not one of my strong points. When I got accepted to CSUSM it was one of the most rewarding days of my life and his also. I could hear the pride in him as we spoke on the phone that day. He wore the CSUSM T-shirt, thatlboughtforhim that summer before CSUSM began, all the time. To the man that made this dream possible for me, it is ironic that I returned from his memorial service the day I actually started class at CSUSM, on the first day of classes at our new university in the fall of 1990. P ve made it because of my grandfather Jim. As I await for the acceptance letters from grad schools that I want to attend, and feel a little uneasy about that challenge, I can hear my grandpa say, "Jimbo I know you can do it if you want to do it. I believe in you." Thanks to you gramps, I know I can. The YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM degree I receive this May I am dedicating to my Grandpa Jim. Thanks again for giving me the ability to believe in myself gramps, I love you and I will never forget your love and support. J I M FIX/CSUSM STUDENT Democrat Club needs support I am writing this letter to gather support for a College Democrats Club here at CSUSM. This Club is for those who oppose George Bush and feel that the College Republicans do not reflect their political views. Anyone interested in joining should stop by the Associated Students Office near the Library. We are also in need of a faculty advisor. Any faculty member who is interest should also stop by the Associated Students Office. Thank You. C HRIS VORNHEDER/CSUSM STUDENT Ad unfair: Give students a choice Once again, I picked up a copy of the Pioneer, excitedabout what this week's issue would hold, and once again I became angry. I enjoyed all of the articles, which I usually do, but the articles are not the problem. What really aggravates me is your Birthright advertisements. Birthright and other Pro-life organizations are well known for their use of deceptive advertising; they often lure young pregnant women into their clinics and shove pro-life views down their throat. I find this practice to be despicable. We are a growing university which has a large population of women, some of whom might have to make an important decision about parenthood. I believe that this type of advertisement is unfair. If you must run pro-life advertisement then surely you can also run pro-choice views. This would at least give our students a chance to make up their own minds, without undue pressure from our newspaper, in other words, give us a choice. A NGELA LOWPER/CSUSM STUDENT Supporting Union donations of $5 I am writing in response to the letter written by Tanis Brown in the March 17 edition of the Pioneer. In the letter she proposed that each member of the 1992 graduating class contribute at least $5 toward the building of a Student Union on the new CSUSM campus. As part of the student body at a new university such as ours, we have an excellent opportunity to become involved and make an impact on the future of CSUSM. Unfortunately, it is hard for many of us to find extra time to help. I, being one of those people, would like to thank Tanis for her suggestion. Although I am not a member of the graduating class, I would be happy to contribute to the construction of a Student union building. I support the concept and challenge other student to contribute to this important venture.

T he legend, as written b y Helen Hunt Jackson, recounts the tragic plight of Ramona, a half-white, half-Indian woman who is raised b y rich Spanish Catholics in the s tate's early mission system.

T he course, taught b y F ine Arts Instructor David Avalos, encourages students t o personally i nterface w ith t he history of t he local Indian community. Students said the class emphasizes Indians within t he realm of California. It contrasts how history is portrayed and h ow it really is. ' The class gives u s a c hance t o take a look and learn f rom o ur m istakes," said student Bertha Walker. " Sometimes i t's n ot what the story i s, i t's w ho's telling the story that m atters."

' Those (that were ianced on Sunday) are the ones l iat y ou'll typically see." Clark, a singer with the San Diego Inter-tribal Singers, taught i iose in attendance of the Indian Fair a f ew basic characteristics of dancing and singing of the North American Indians. Clark said the dances of the North American Indians are separated into two distinct areas: the northern and southern plains. ' The southern plains style of the dance is d ifferent," h e said. "Most dancers will dance sunwise (or clockwise) following the path of the sun. ' The northern dances will dance in the perimeter counterclockwise in a protective role.

He said that past wrongs done to the Indians sprouted a sense of guilt within himself. "Here were people that were screwed by the Anglos and everybody else," Scott said. " At first some were distant. But some were extremely open. I was soon encouraged to participate (in tribal events)." He said the class prepared him f or the assignment by providing knowledge of the plight of the Indians. Scott, who recently helped found the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Club at .CSUSM said h e has a personal understanding of the kind of discrimination the Indians receive. " I empathize with w hat's going on. As a member of the gay community, I encounter racism and hatred every day," Scott said. Other students have used the assignment to gain introspection into their o wn communities.

White at the Patio Playhouse, is an endearing and reminiscent production, but it also tries to solve the same problems that arise in today's society. A young boy named Bibi, bordering manhood, observes the happiness and pitfalls of love within his own household. He has a drunken uncle with a domineering wife, a traveling uncle who gets love wherever he can, an old feisty grandfather who loves all women, and a crazy father who makes a living of vaudeville, through these men, the young boy learns about women, love and about being a man. Some of the actors of the Patio Playhouse need to relax and enjoy the parts they are playing. When Daniel C Morris, who plays the travelling Uncle Desmond,firstarrives on stage, his lines are presented so quickly that he cannot be understood. As the play goes on, however, his speech slows and he relaxes into his role. Ian Boyd needs to f ed comfortable playing the character Bibi. At times, this viewer feels apprehensive, waiting for Boyd to relax and enjoy his character so that the audience can enjoy him. Also, the characters at times seem to be standing at attention, with arms pressed to their sides, legs unbending and bodies stiff. They look like sentries waiting for the command to move. These actors need to feel comfortable with the directions and confident with their places on the stage. Other actors, like Jerry Moorehead playing Uncle Louis, are excellent. Moorehead's demeanor is natural, and 7 he puts energy and enthusiasm into his role. Uncle Louis is always drunk, and the scene with him and his prospective son-in-law is wonderful and funny. Both Louis ad Alfred, played by j . Dennis Riddle, keep the audience laughing and wondering what will happen next. Another excellent performance is executed by Sue Jones as she plays the part of Aunt Felice, Uncle Louis' wife. She presents herself on stage with an air of confidence. Her character screams, insinuates and takes over the entire scene when she is around. I like her character and the Peggy Schneider, left to right, Jerry Moorehead, Sue Jones and David Y. Smith star in 'Happy Times,' playing at the Patio Playhous Escondido through April 19. For tickets call 746-6669 way she presented her on the stage. There is a touching scene between father, played by David Y. Smith, and Bibi. The father tries to explain the difference between love and desire, and when Bibi finally catches on, both rejoice; so does the audience. Some of these actors have never been on stage before, and some of them have limited stage appearances. 'Happy Times.'

'Lawnmower Man' needs some more trimming on its predictable plot J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The actual lawnmower in "The Lawnmower Man" is a perfect representation of the movie: a standard piece of equipment, just spruced up a ot. Loosely based on a short story by Stephen •Cing, ' The Lawnmower Man" has the standard Frankenstein p lot A scientist, whether he's nad or not, creates a creature or thing that is not vhat he anticipated. Movie-goers have seen variations on this heme before and "The Lawnmower Man" folows the predictable Frankenstein pattern flawessly. This Brett Leonard film, however, is surprisingly entertaining; after all, Frankenstein s a good base to work with and this futuristic /ersion has a few visually stimulating scenes. The creation in "The Lawnmower Man" is a computer simulation called Virtual Reality. Established to be used as a military program, Virtual Reality transports the subject into another world - a world of computer bits and bytes. The program'sauthor, playedby Pierce Brosnan, deviates from his military goal of the experiment when he starts using a human subject Brosnan's scientist chooses the man who mows his lawn, Job, to be his first human subject. Jeff Fahey performs a convincingly stupid gardener who has never grown to his full potential. Job is fed knowledge - and lots of i t He learns Latin in two hours, becomes a master at historic art and the sciences, stands up for himself, gives up comics and picks up a sex life. This new creation, although extremely intelligent, still remains stupid. Job learns with his new intelligence that there is no separation between mind and matter, and his electronic world starts to integrate with everyone else's real world. In this new electronic world, Job is God and i t's up to the scientist to control him. So the conflict is set: mad scientist trying to stop mad creation. The story brings in a lot of "Frankenstein," some "Charly" and a bit of "Brainstorm." There's no new material in the plot or conflict. But what "The Lawnmower Man" does add to the entertainment field is an amazing expansion of electronic animation. Computergenerated material is slowly being added to the movie realm. Used in "The Last Starfighter" and in several new Disneyfilms,computers are making their mark. Computer animation is what saves "The Lawnmower Man" from being a boring rehash of old plots. The difficulty and artistic standards evolve with the story. This creates some repetition of some sequences and electronic scenes, but it all leads to a spectacular grand finale. Job transforms himself into energy and into zips the mainframe computer, thus controlling the world's electronic world. His first cry to his realm is when all the phones, everywhere, ring at once. The story is definitely predictable, but the hint of King's suspense and an abundance of computer animation make it worth seeing on the big screen. Waiting for this one to come out on video will take away the effects of the electronics, leaving the movie with little to save itself. See this show at a matinee, however, when it costs half price. And when the phone rings, be a bit more skeptical when the gardener is on the other end. �TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1992/PIONEER M usic C alendar Aster Aweke: Performs at Bogey's, Mission Valley, April 9 at 9 p.m. 594-6947 Bunch of Songwriters Sitting Around Singing: Featuring Midge Ure, Rosie Flores, Darden Smith, Chip Taylor and Don Henry April 16 at Sound FX, Clairmont. 560-8022/278-TIXS Desert Rose Band: Performs 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. April 5 at Leo's Little Bit o' Country, San Marcos. 744-4120 Diane Schuur: Theatre East presents Diane Schuur, accompanied by the Bill Yager Jazz Ensemble, April 10 at 8 p.m. at 210 East Main Street, El Cajon. 440-2277 ConnelTs: Performs at Sound FX, Clairmont, April 10 at 9:30 p.m. 560-8022/278-TIXS Harkins and Larson: Theatre East presents this concert April 7 at 2 p.m. at the East Country Performing Arts Center, El Cajon. 440-2277 Jack Mack and the Heart Attack: Performs at the Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach, April 11 at 9:15 p.m. 481-9022 Jamie Byers: Performs with Anthony Smith at the Smith Recital Hall, SDSU campus, April 9 a 17 p.m. 594-6947 Joe Henderson Quartet: Performsat Jazz Note, Pacific Beach, April 10 through April 12. 272-1241 Little Charlie and the Nightcats: Performs with Roy Rogers and Tinsley Ellis at the Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach, April 14 at 9 p.m. 481-9022 Mary's Danish: Performs at the Backdoor, SDSU, March 31 at 8 p.m. 278-TIXS Peter Frampton: Theatre East presents this concert April 18 at 8 p.m. at the East County performing Arts Center, El Cajon. 4402277 Rollins Band: Performs two shows at the Backdoor, SDSU, April 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. 278-TIXS Quiet Riot: Performs at Sound FX, Clairmont, April 11 at 9:30 p.m. 560-8022/278-TIXS Sadao Watanabe: Performs April 12 at Sound FX, Clairmont. 560-8022/278-TIXS Tom Grant: Performs April 1 at 8:30 p.m. at the Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach. 481-9022 U2: Performs with the Pixies April 15 at the San Diego Sports Arena. 224-4176/278-TIXS Van Halen: Baby Animals performs with Van Halen in concert at the San Diego Sports Arena, May 2 at 8 p.mv278-TIXS Vjnnie Moore: Performs with Shotgun Messiah at Sound FX, Clairmont, April 13 at 8:30 p.m. 560-8022/278-TIXS ACCENT 13 Hospital finds cure for bland institutional foods Atone time, hospital cuisine ranked equivalently to airline food or high school cafeteria slop. But now some health care institutions take their food preparation as seriously as they do their patients. When I went to Palomar Hospital, located on Valley Parkway in Escondido, I expected to find a meal that would keep me at the facilities for a few days hooked up to the stomach pump. What I found was a wellrounded healthy menu that was prepared with surgeon-like precision. Palomar Hospital's cafeteria is, as one would expect, spotlessly clean, but without the antiseptic feel of oldtime hospital diners. Pleasantly colored tables and chairs add comfort to the small eating area. I didn't get the feeling that I was dining in an operating room. I felt gastrically comfortable. Of course, the service is a buffetstyle. Due to the frenetic nature of hospital workers and visitors, table service would be out of the question. The get-it-yourself ordering format iSoLLEGIATEioURMET BY L ARRY BOISJOLIE also offers the customer the opportunity to view the food before it is decided upon. I chose a fillet of cod smothered in a lemony caper sauce. The cod was very moist and perfectly flaky. Much to my surprise, the caper sauce added a continental elegance to my meal. Although I really have no idea what a caper is, the tiny morsels were juicy and delectable. The fish was served with rice and mixed vegetables that tasted as if they were freshly prepared. There were no freezer-burned veggies in the bunch, a luxury I didn't expect in a HealthCare facility. The whole fish dish with a slice of tangy, flaky cherry pie and a cup of coffee is priced at a healthy $4.75. My wife had a hunk of freshlybaked lasagna. The fare was loaded with sauce and cheeses, with noodles that were neither over-cooked nor under-cooked. The hospital's lasagna was barely a step below my own homemade creation. Coming from someone who lives to make lasagna, this is high praise. With the lasagna she ordered a bowl of navy bean soup. Because Palomar Hbspital cares about the health of its diners, the soup was a bit under-salted, an, ill that can be easily remedied with a dash or two from a shaker. The lasagna, bean soup, a bowl of Jell-O and a medium soft drink is a orderly's dream at just over $5. There is also a grill at the Palomar Hospital cafeteria, where customers can order anything from a cheeseburger to a tuna-melt. I ordered a patty-melt. The sandwich contained not one, but two quarter pound patties of beef smothered in melted Monterey Jack cheese and served on grilled rye bread.

If you or a loved one is interred in a room at Palomar Hospital, at least you can find some comfort in the knowledge that the food you will be eating won't contribute to your ill health. • Larry Boisjolie is Editor-in-Chief for Pioneer CALENDAR/CONTINUED Kiss Me Kate: The Lawrence Welk Resort Theatre performs this Cole Porter favorite through April 11.

Carter discussed the future of CSUSM with students and gave his viewpoints on the proposed budget cuts to higher education by California Governor Pete Wilson. Carter said he understood the governor's position and commented that "the problems with higher education were inherited by Governor Wilson, not created by him." Carter also discussed plans for student governance, the formation of student activities and the quality of curriculum at CSUSM. MAYOR NAMED BALL HONOREE San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau has been named honoree at this year's University Ball. The naming comes after a suggestion for his appointment by the CSUSM Foundation. The University Ball is the college's primary fundraiser. Tickets for the Ball, which has enjoyed sold-out crowds in the past, are $ 125. Thibadeau said he was "honored" by the appointment and said he felt that he was just one of many integral persons helpful in the formation of the university. For the past seven years,Thibadeau was instrumental in attracting attention to the new university. As a city councilman, he was one of the first to approach California Senator William Craven with the idea of a North County university. TWO CONCERT PERFORMANCES PLANNED March marks the beginning of another series of concerts at the CSUSM, SDSU North County Library . The series is sponsored by both universities and admission is free to the public. Holly Hoffman, a critically acclaimed recording artist, will bring a unique hard-driving jazz style to the university for Women's History Month. Hoffman's melodic renditions with the flute will be accompanied by Gunnar Biggs, on the bass, Mike Wofford, piano, and Jim Plank, on the drums. Hoffman will perform March 10 in the Library. The performance begins at 7 p.m. Raices del Ande, a music ensemble that specializes in Andean music, will perform March 17 in the Library. The four founding members of Raices del Ande are from Bolivia. Donald Funes, Professor of Fine Arts at CSUSM, was the group's director for several years and will be performing with them on their West Coast tour. For more information on the concert series, call 471-3515. SPEAKER'S SERIES RESUMES NEWS Rains cause damage on campus A series of storms that hit the area last week left campus officials and students drowning in rain-rejated problems. * Downpours caused the collapse of ceilings throughout thecampus, while flooding occurred in the student parking lot. "Every building has roof leaks," said Ivalee Clark, assistant director of Support Services. "It happens every time it rains." According to Clark, ceiling damage in the 800 Building was extensive. Financial Services was also inundated with rain damage. Campus officials pointed out that, despite discomfort created from the rains, instruction was not dampened. Bookstore worker John Harris noted flooding in one of Aztec S hops' storage rooms. According to Harris, damage was done to paper products which were stored in the room. Koll Management, thefirmwhich oversees the building complex where the temporary campus is located, refused comment on the flooding. An official from Koll did say, however, that reparations would be made when the rains ceased. Some students reported that tow trucks were needed to free waterlogged cars fromfloodedareas in the student parking lot. Service was also needed for several cars that would not start due to soaked distributor caps. Those who parked on the street adjacent to the campus also waded through their share of problems. CSÚSM student Judy Walters said she had to remove a fallen tree limb from the road in order to park her car. M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER CSUSM student Steve Felice climbs over the fence surrounding the parking lot after rains last Thursday flooded the lot's exit. Liberal Studies student Wendy Peterson faced problems of a different nature. Peterson, who is restricted to a motorized wheelchair, found the flooded parking lot inconvenient She said she dropped a book in a puddle while trying to negotiate the drenched campus. Officials speculated that the damage to ceilings occurred because of the complex's flat-roofed construction. Task Force seeks government model J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER After a semester of research, Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force continues to work on the second step in implementing a student government by the end of this semester.

Taylor said the survey would not mandate what structure the Task Force would choose. "It's not a vote," she said. "It's to get a general idea of what the students would support.... The survey allows us to make the correct decision. It's more of an informative survey for us." Task Force member David Hammond said that by last Friday afternoon, about 90 surveys were returned; a total of 1,000 surveys were distributed to students by professors. "We were pleased with 90," Hammond said. "It shows a statistical significance because it represents a large share of students as far as surveys-gor"- - — - 1——. J Both Taylor and Hammond said the Representative structure was leading the three examples, but noted that not all surveys were tabulated. "Itappears that the Representative Government was the most popular pick among the students," Hammond said. "Three out of the six Task Force members want the Representative," said Taylor. "It allows everyone to take part. It's truly representative of the organization of a whole." A decision is expected to be made at this Friday's Task Force meeting. The next phase is to writeaconstitution based on the chosen form of government. That project is expected to take about three months. The final phase is implementing the student government with elections. "Hopefully, we'll be able to have elections thissemester,"Taylor said. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1 9 9 1 NEWS Only moderate exercise needed to maintain healt Most people believe physical exercise is beneficial to one' s health and well-being; however, a frequent response to questioning about exercise is, "I just don't have time."

RAH PASSES TOURS HOSTELS Instructor's musical teaching theory beats with a different global drum LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER To Dr. Donald Funes, there is more to music than reading notes and studying composers. Funes, who instructs music at Cal State San Marcos, wants to help create a Music Department that reflects global awareness and intra-cultural sensitivity. "It's difficult to break the traditional molds of teaching music," said Funes "Programs traditionally deal with dead, white, male composers." Funes teaches his classes the con-! cept of ethnomusicology, the study of music in its social context. Funes said that this form of music education will increase sensitivity about women and other races. He indicated that the study ofjust classical composers is not reflective of the whole picture music paints. "We need to look at music in the context of society," he said. Apart from teaching music of other cultures, Funes is also active in performing it as well. On March 17, he will be performing with Raices del Andes, a group of South American musicians. Funes, who was trained in classical music in Washington, became involved with Andean music after searchingfordifferentstylesofmusical expression. "In the 60s I started hearing more and more folk music. I wanted to play in a more informal environment, so I started searching for different types of music," Funes said. His search began in India, but was cut short due to problems at home. In the mid 1980s, Funes took a sabbatical in New York to teach Concert Raices Del r Ande: Performs the second show in this semesters Concert Series sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County. The performance is March 17 at 7 p.m. in the Library. Admission is free. Gabriel now integrate other forms of music into their own styles. Simon, according to Funes, has awakened the world's interest in South African music. Funes said that music reflects class struggles within cultures, and that it is able to adapt with cultures. In order to capture the feelings in different types of music, Funes said he likes to attend traditional festivals South American countries to get the feel of the culture.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN M ARCOS �PIONEER/TUESDAY, M ARCH 5 , 1 991 Nation now has new heros, cause For two decades, America has been a nation without a cause. Following the tragedy of Vietnam and in the wake of Watergate, a cloud ofcomplacency settled upon acountry feeling the injuries of war and betrayal by its leaders. For two decades, we have been a nation without heros. With the death of Martin Luther King, Black America lost its greatest symbol of true freedom andequality. The President of the United States lost his leadership and became nothing less than a common criminal to his baffled nation. Our soldiers, in fighting a socially unpopular war, lost their dignity somewhere amidst the confusion. PURVIEWS P I O N E E R S T A F F E DITORIAL Women deserve equality In the 1970s, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment was shot down. The rejection wasn't because it didn't receive the amount of needed votes; it cleared the House, the Senate* President Jimmy Carter, and 48 states had ratified the bill. This ideal amendment failed to become a part of America's constitution simply by missing its deadline. Utah and North Carolina failed to cast their vote by the scheduled date. These two states, controlled mainly by strong, male-dominated churches, failed to add to this country's foundation of laws a revolutionary bill that would have been beneficial to the female population as well as the male. Women in America have been lobbying and rallying for equality among the male-founded, run, and dominated American society; a patriarchal culture has determined how this country was molded and set. Today's culture has changed and now women want to stand on the same platforms as their counterparts. This new setting is welcomed by most, and should be allowed to evolve in a society where both sexes are equal. What those two states failed to realize when they missed the ratification deadline was that the Equal Rights Amendment would also benefit men, since with equality comes mutual responsibility. The military is a good example for this point, a topic of high interest today. Women would have had a kind of two-fold equality when it comes to the battlefield. First, a woman could fight alongside a man when defending this country or attacking an offending army. Some consider it a great honor to die for this country, an honor only reserved for men. What makes a woman less suitable to fight a war? What makes a man more superior in this area? The second part of this equal responsibility is that women would be forced to fight; a draft would include women as well as men. - ir; AaQttessOT&lfcQf shared responsibility would perhaps be a new viewpoint of child-raising. This could have been a great victory for the man, the parent who is usually denied the right to raising children in the case of divorce or a split-up based on his gender. Who determined that a man is less suitable to build a family? What makes a woman much more superior in this area? Society has stereotyped the man as strong with no feelings, a woman with feelings and no strength. People asked that to change with the proposed amendment, and it must if the evolution to equality is to develop. Mythology shows the worship of a goddess, history shows civilization with shared powers among genders; in the 70s it was two different denominations in two distant states that felt their religion to be sorightthat they had to keep men superior to women. Religion should not dominate the decision making of today and neither should men. The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment is a scar on America's history. Females deserve equal status, representation, and responsibility. Keep in mind, however, the term "equality," a word the late states might have misunderstood. The added words to the constitution would not change America's culture to a matriarchal society, but only grant equality. This miscommunication between countrypersons would also have corrected some reverse discrimination. The availability for scholarships and jobs for women was drastically low then. To correct that, a surge of needed monies and career opportunities opened. Now getting funding for school and finding a job is easier for a woman than for a man. This is is a reflection of Affirmative Action. Both examples, in attempting to correct discrimination, now discriminate against the white man. This discrimination game would have stopped with theEqual Rights Amendment. J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER A country that is moved to patriotic tears and feels the glimmer of pride glowing in its soul, is a place beyond the memory of most of us. For two decades we have been a nation without feeling, cause or heros. If there is anything to be learned from the events in the Persian Gulf, it's that America is, once again, aplaceof heros and cause. With General Colin Powell, Black America once again has a prodigious model of leadership. His name has become a synonym of intelligence an integrity that we all can utter with pride. George Bush has brought honor back to the title of President. His calmness and steadfastness combined to reveal the Chief Executive as a superb diplomat, while his powers as Commander-in-Chief brought strength back to the reputation of the military. The soldiers of the war - ourfriends,family and spouses - are heros, not only of our hearts, but ofour souls as well. They fought for all that the word "America" has traditionally symbolized, and walked away victorious. To them we owe the Inflation of our country's value. What all these heros stand for, is the awakening of a consciousness that has laid asleep for two decades. The veterans of our past war can now walk with dignity for all to see, while politicians can move awayfromthe mistrusted realm of lawyers and used-car salespeople. Black Americans can now chase their dreams with one of many men who have dared to conquer them. Whereas once we laughed at Bush's idea of a New World Order, now we can join it in faith and make it our own peaceful reality. If all this seems overly sentimental and rhetorical, then look at the miraculously low loss of lives our troops suffered in the war. Even though the death of just one human being to warfare is intolerable and grievous, the impossibly small loss of our lives gives us physical evidence that hopes can indeed become realized. Let us all welcome our troops back with a blaze of enlightenment and show them that they were fighting for more than oil they werefightingfor all this country stands for. Those who bravelyriskedtheir lives for thefreedomof a tiny chunk of the world should stand forever in our hearts as monuments against complacency. Their cause was just and they are heros all. It is time now for each of us to be heros on the homefront. We should take the courage of those soldiers far away and internalize i t Let us all f^ght peacefully for our long-lost American dream. �TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 / P I O N E E R P50-2 S.

I have no place to go." a n IRAQI CAPTAIN upon surrender OPINION L ibrary needs e xpanded h ours to complete u niversity's mission A school's reputation is built just like a new business: one finished product at a time. In this regard, we are fortunate that the mission here at Cal State San Marcos is to build "Stanford South." We will be the benficiaries of these commitmants. While I am glad that the Cal State San Marcos faculty is fulfilling its promise to squeeze everythingfromus that is possible, I fefel like a football player starting the Superbowl without helmet and shoulder pads: I'm playing hard, but I am getting way too banged around. Sure, we all knew that the entreprenuerial venture entailed some bumps, but I - and others - are fed up with a major campus deficiency: adequate library access time. In the world according to 1990 higher-education curriculum, student use of the library is far more meaningful than just a quiet room with, D AVID HAMMOND P I O N E E R C OLUMNIST books. In fact, a legitimate argument circulates that the library should be two seperate areas: Circulation, for books and such, and a Computer Lab, for line time that is unaffordable at home, and unaccordable anywhere but the school. So it goes that when a library closes at 4:30 7 pm, or never opens on Sunday, both resources are denied, and the prospect of "Stanford South" becomes a pipe dream. Ultimately, Cal State San Marcos will default to the diploma-mill status as frustrated students give up their ambitions to master the "A" grade. On theother hand, action speaks louder than words. This column will only reach a few administrators, but your collective voice can shake a world. The only means to extending the library hours (and thereby providing the means to fulfill tlte dreams) is a letter and petition campaign. Drop off a note at President Stacy's office indicating that you want the library hours extended to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and open on Sunday. Sign the petitions that are circulating. Your slightest involvement will contribute to the greater cause. Cold War downfall brings uncertainty I miss the cold war. Especially after following the most recent hot one. If war is hell, what is a cold war? Heaven? Maybe not quite, but I think the cold war provided all nations with concise roles. All countries fell in one of three categories. Either pro-west, pro-east, or Switzerland. Everybody knew how to behave themselves politically during those times. For example, a country aligned with the west would not have invaded one of the opposite affiliation because the Soviet Union would see the move as a direct aggression against its interests. The USSR in turn would have to go against the initial aggressor, which the U.S. would see as an act against their interests. Now we have direct clash of super powers. But both powers had MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) and were wise enough to understand i t Both had to keep regional strifes in check to guarantee their survival. A super power invasion into territory that was not considered crucial to the other side was protested in the United Nations but that is were it stopped. It was always comical when a representative aired grievances, and the offending party nodded complacently as if listening to a Bob Marley and The Wailers tape through his or her earphones. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan or S o^P. I side was completely out of the question. But things are a little different now. For understandable reasons Gorbachev decided that domestic problems were more important than spending billions of Rubles keeping the Capitalistic Protection Rampart standing. In a way Hungary can be blamed for the gulf crisis. They were the first Eastern Block nation to dismantle their Capitalistic Protection Rampart protecting them from Austria. Thousands of Hungarians and East Germans took the advantage of the open border end migrated to the west. East Germany was losing so many people that their country was on the verge of collapse. They had no choice but to tear down the wall. The Iron Curtain was lifted and the East Block aired out. George Bush calls this the S HARE YOUR V IEWS "New World Order."

But Comedy Nite in Oceanside uses just therightblend of atmosphere and talent to make even the most prudish of San Diego audiences burst with laughter. ' The atmosphere at Comedy Nite contains all the traditional j tt elements one would expect in a comedy club. The walls are ™ adorned with pictures of many of today's brightest comedians. The stage has a traditional backdrop of bricks and is conveniently close to die patrons for maximum performer-audience interaction. Drinks with names like ' The Elaine 'Booz'ler," "The Yakov Smirnoff* and the "The Pee Wee Herman" are served alongside food items with names like "The Robin Williams" and "The George Carlin." But the real stars at Comedy Nite are the performers themselves. For an entertainment club that is barely a year old, Comedy Nite hosts a surprisingly adept scope of talent Everyone from the emcee to the headliner on the night I attended was top-notch in the not-so-subtle art of generating laughter. The show on Feb. 25 began with a Mexican-American comedian from Lubbock, Texas named Raphael. As emcee, Raphael set the tone of the show with a series of witty jokes about his heritage. He interwove a Mexican-American perspective into a routine that touched on everyday observances and occurrences. The first act introduced by Raphael was Pierre, a performer ¡from Washington D.C. Pierre was by far the most disappointing performer of the night. His downfall was not due to the lack of snappiness in his routine, but rather from the abruptness of i t After warming the audience up with a series of clever gags about hitchhikers, Pierre quickly packed up his show and yielded to the next performer, leaving the audience thirsting for more. Having gone to the trouble of bringing Pierre in from D.C., the least Comedy Nite could have done was give him a few more minutes. In stark contrast, the headliner, San Diego's own Peter Gaulke, had too much time on die stage.

"Would you like to see my dog do a trick," asks Lee. The crowd responds with affirmative applause. "So would I," says Lee. Most comedians would have trouble eliciting any kind of laughter with this joke, but in Lee's case it is a big success. Michael Lee is blind, and Troy is not only his best friend, he's his eyes as well. Lee represents a unique brand of entertainer that can take a disability, that would be a tragedy to most, and transform it into comedy. Apartfromcomedy, Lee hosts a radio show for people with disabilities, gives motivational speeches across the country and has had articles published in major magazines. But for the 35-year-old comic, dealing with blindness has not always been a laughing matter. His life of darkness began 22 years ago while lighting a fire.

One moment the mass will be in stitches, literally spilling their drinks onto thefloorwith laughter. The next moment they turn like hungry piranhas, ready to shred the performer with razorsharp heckles. I stood in the back of the room awaiting my turn, hoping desperately that the entertainer in front of me was worse than I could possibly be. Before I knew it, my name was called and it was my turn to face theficklecrowd. I had just entered that unique corner of the twilight zone known as stand-up comedy. With three major comedy clubs and a variety of nightspots which feature amateur and professional comedians, the San Diego area is a west coast Mecca for those wishing to delve into the art of making people laugh. Clubs like the Improvisation in Pacific Beach, or the Comedy Store in La Jolla, attract name stars like Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy. With a little luck, a lot of perseverance and a hell of a lot of nerve, almost anyone with the ability to launch a good yuk can make it big in the local comedy circuit. My experience with stand-up comedy lasted a gruelling six months. I travelled from nightclub to nightclub, hitting every amateur night and hoping to walk away with at least a tenuous grasp on my integrity. TYPING TYPING S The steps are easy for those wishing to score a three-minute gig at an amateur comedy night. First meticulously write an entertaining routine that addresses social problems in a lighthearted and quasi-intellectual fashion and demonstrates to the audience that not only are you a person of wit, but of substance as well. Or, you can do like I did and stoop to outright stupid jokes. The key to putting together a riotous routine is integrating yourself into the script. Find that one thing funny about yourself whether it be your looks or your love life - and build around it. If there is absolutely nothing funny about yourself, then develop an amusing alter-ego, or schtick, and use it to do the talking. Since I was an employee for a grocery störe, I incorporated my experiences with products and customers as a gimmick. I used everything from plastic bags to heads of cauliflower as props. Be sure to incorporate canned responses to whatever hecklers might be in the crowd. Hecklers do not necessarily interrupt the performance to degrade the comedian, sometimes their unsolicited remarks are launched as a crude form of compliment. If the heckler is ignored, however, any reputation for wit that the NEED SOMETHING TYPED? flCCCJ-TYPE handles: • Class papers • Resumes imw • Typesetting • Design • B&W camera services TYPING CALL TODAY: TYPING TYPING fiCCd-TYPE (619) 743-1426 E E K E R CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 S performer has established will be destroyed. After meticulously writing and rewriting a routine, practice it thoroughly until it flows from your tongue. Do it in the bathroom, in front of the mirror, or in the car while driving. Do it in the living room or at work, and when you've done it enough to where it seems natural and free-flowing, do it in front of a non-captive audience. Choose your mother in-law or boss, or anyone else who is disinterested in what you have to say, and launch your repertoire. If they have trouble holding back even the slightest of grins, then you'rQ ready to perform. Avoid practicing in front of dogs, cats, ztsrz goldfish, or any other lower life form, since it is difficult to tell if they are smiling or even paying attention. B^i The stage itself is the most intimidating factor of the entire comedy experience. There are complete mixed feelings of uncertainty and aloneness which seem to flow from your pores under the burning lights. Stage fright manifests itself in the most extreme fashion when you are trying to make a crowd of people laugh. I found the feeling of terror ¡ P3P£ m S EE THRILL/PAGE 1 1 an HBO comedy special, is probably best known for his short stints on MTV. The madcap white-gloved hands that trounce throughout the video network's transmissions belong to the baggy-pants funnyman himself. Gaulke's routine had its shining moments, but seemed far too drawn-out. He stretches his clothes far better than he stretches his routine. What makes Gaulke such a prized performer, is his limber use of his hands in the "fingerman" schtick, and the clever way in which he manipulates his clothing. His "torso-man" routine was the funniest 20 seconds of the night. But, without question, the funniest 20 minutes of the evening belonged to Boston comic Peter Bermen. A former loser on 'Star Search' and 'Remote Control,' Bermen was a winner with the audience. Not only was Bermen's stock routine well-written and masterfully performed, his talent of improvisation was mind-boggling as well. With effortless ease, he bent with the crowd. His interplay with them was quick and user-friendly. Bermen brought daily issues, like the war, into his routine, and was able to joke about sex without using profanity. Look for him to make it big in the future. All of the shows presented at the club were almost television clean. With limited use of profanity, the performers demonstrated that laughter doesn't have to be a four-letter word. On a scale of one to four "yawps," - four "yawps" being the best - the Comedy Nite performers I saw got a hearty three and threequarters "yawps" and maybe a "giggle" or two.

Through his experiences, Lee was able to communicate with the kids that all people are disabled in some way. "Kids talked about their own disabilities," Lee says. They began to recognize that wearing glasses or being overweight was subject to the same kinds ofridiculeas having a disability like blindness. Lee enjoyed the experience so much, he began speaking to crowds of people on a regular basis. "When I speak, I like to invoke emotions in the audience. If I can get them to laugh, then I'm successful," Lee says, Sixteen months ago, after his wife left him, Lee decided it was time to clean up his act and lead a healthy life. He quit smoking and EXPLORE 1 1 entered the Clean and Sober program. "After I quit smoking and drinking, I was left with a whole lot of time," says Lee. So he decided to pursue his longtime ambition of becoming a stand-up comedian. Lee faced his fear of stage fright and took a workshop by comedy coach Lee Glickstein. After observing Lee's ability of launching a joke, Glickstein asked him to perform in a comedy show highlighting disabled comedians. "At first he asked me to do 10 minutes and I says I can do that. The 10 minutes turned into 15, then 20 and finally I was asked to emcee the show," says Lee. The show, c alled Access to Comedy,'featured two other performers with disabilities. The other performers were Benjamin Stewart, a 29-inch tall comedian with brittle-bone disease, and Joel Rutledge, a legally blind comic with a stuttering problem.

He performs in the area when visiting his mother in Fallbrook or his 4-year-old daughter, Robin who lives in North County with his exwife. Lee travels across the country, giving motivational speeches with . his dog Troy. Last month alone, he travelled to Arizona, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Chicago. "Troy loves people and travelling," says Lee. "Although he bugs club owners because he likes to lay in the walkways." About 50 percent of Lee's routines deal with blindness, while the other half focuses on modern issues like the war and relationships. Occasionally Lee runs across a heckler or two when doing his routine, but he says dealing with them is all part of the a ct "I've been heckled," he says. "When you work in a place that serves alcohol, you have to be ready to deal with hecklers. If you let them intimidate you, then you're gone." * Lee says he is a "friendly comedian," or a performer that doesn't pick on the audience. He says that working with an audience is more natural to him than putting the crowd down. The most rewarding experience associated with public speaking came for Lee one night after a presentation. "A person came up to me after a speech and said, 'I was considering suicide until I heard you,'" he says. Lee regularly hosts a radio show in the Bay Area called 'Comic Minds.' The program, which is aimed at people with disabilities, airs, through national link-up, across the country. On the show, he interviews comedians and takes calls from listeners. Someday, Lee says he would like to do commercials on television and build his exposure. "Comedy has given me confi- «¿v dence in myself to stand up and do things," he says. THRILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 v diminishing after the first laughs from the crowd. Once you realize that your routine is going smoothly, the audience becomes your friend. The measure of the best comedians is the ability to pull the crowd into the routine. Although in amateur comedy , repartee with the audience is not essential, the ability to engage in intelligent dialogue with them will boost your status as an entertainer: If all this sounds terrifying and nerve-racking to you, then perhaps comedy is not your bag of tricks. But if you've got that urge to ham it up and entertain, then there is no thrill-seeking^experience as rewarding as stand-up. I was lucky when I performed at my first amateur night at the Improv. The performer before me - John from New York - was so bad, that a comedy stint from Dan Quayle would have been welcomed. Not all of my jokes were as successful as I had anticipated, but at least I was able to exit from that little corner of hell with my. integrity unscorched.

With a menu that includes both familiar Chinese dishes and wonderfully different Vietnamese food, this family-owned restaurant offers a quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere that is sure to maximize your dining enjoyment. The owners of the restaurant treat all diners as if they were houseguests. They're not afraid to get personal with the clientele and frequently stop O LLEGIATE by the tables just to engage in friendly chit chat. Before leaving, make sure you have a conversation with Willie, the "owner's husband," who is a delightful conversationalist If you like your food lively, or prefer it tame, D' Jade Vine lets you choose the spiciness ofyourown meal. Diners can request hotness by using a simple one to ten scale. For example, if you like food to blow your tastebuds to Saturn, choose OURMET a 10 in spiciness. Caution should be used, when choosing this degree of hotness, since oriental spices can make your food too scathing to enjoy. Even if you like it hot, start out with a lower degree of heat and work your way up. An excellent choice for an appetizer is the six homemade egg rolls for $2.85, which are crunchy on the outside with spices, tender vegetables and meat on the inside. You can try capturing some of the best main dishes of the orient for just $3.95 to $5.50. Their Chickcn Chop Suey (Rau Xao), which contains large pieces of chicken, sliced cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, watercress, broccoli and onions, is drenched in a wonderful broth. The Sweet and SourChicken (Mon Chua Ngot) is absolutely mouth-watering. Crunchy on the outside, tender and delicate on the inside, it is served with slices of carrots, green peppers, onions and pineapple. The sauce is thick and honeyed and delicious. D'Jade Vine's vegetarian selections are equally as delectable as its other dishes. The Vegetarian Chow Mein and Egg Foo Young are espe- cially exquisite. If you like unique and exotic beverages, ask Willie about the restaurant's specialty fruit drinks. Particularly notable is the Cherimoya juice. The exotic fruit yields a drink that is as thick as a milkshake and as sweet as candy. If you like a little bit of tartness to your drink, try the JackfruiL Beer and wine arc also served for those who like to compliment, their food with adult beverages. Located at 1450 W. Mission Road in San Marcos, (down the street from Palomar College) D'Jade Vine is not a place where you want to chop-chop and rush your meal. Stay awhile and enjoy the food and atmosphere. Six poets t o perform in benefit for journal LARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER Patrick Bergin haunts Julia Roberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' Raising funds for Cal State San Marcos' first literary journal can be a culturally rewarding experience for the community and college as well. This is the approach of journal organizer Regina John, who has organized a poetry reading to raise funds fpr the infant project. John has assembled six poets that reflect both gender and cultural diversity in a reading scheduled March 17. "An important aspect of this university is furthering cultural interest," John said. Through the presentation, John said she hopes to show the community that poetry reading can be entertaining and intellectually fulfilling as well. The six artists scheduled to read their works volunteered time and talent in order to show their support for the journal. All have been published and reflect global diversity. Reading for the two-hour event will be poets Steve Kowit, A1 Zolynas, James Allen, Kari Elliot, Karen Kenyan and Diane Hill, all of which currently reside in the San Diego area. Hill has been published in several poetry anthologies including the 1985 'Seacoast Poets Anthology' and a journal entitled 'Up Against the Wall Mother.' She is a freelance writer in the San Diego area. Kenyan, an instructor at SDSU and MiraCosta College, writes both prose >and poetry and published her Sleeping with Enemy' a real snoozer Julia Roberts is on a roll. Since 'Pretty Woman' came out last year, her name has been synonymous with box office success. As the daughter who dies in 'Steel Magnolias* or a medical student playing with death in 'Flatliners,' she's had one hit after another. She's also been nominated as Best Actress in this year's Academy Awards. And now Roberts is in a new thriller called 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' In the movie, she plays Laura Burney, a woman married to an obsessive, abusing man (played by Patrick Bergin). She decides she's had enough abuse and fakes her own death. She relocates in Iowa, takes on another name and begins her life anew. Her next door neighbor (Kevin Anderson) falls for her, but she hesitates at getting involved with any man again. Eventually, he wins her trust and she tells him her story. But it's only a matter of time before her husband, Martin, figures out what Laura has done. The sus- W ENDY W ILLIAMS pense builds as he gets ever closer to finding out where she is. F rom o utcome ofthe final confrontation is predictable. There are no surprises here, which is unfortunate. The filmakers have decided to rely on tried and true characters. The only notable exception is Anderson who shines in what could have been an obscure role. Still, if you have the chance, check out a truly suspenseful 'Silence of the Lambs' instead of 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' P IONEER FILM C RITIC first book entitled 'Sunshower* in 1981. The story of her child with Down's Syndrome led her to writing. Elliot is a poet from Norway who currently teaches at National U n i v e r v sity in Vista. The winner of two Hopwood awards for his poetry, Allen has published several poetry collections including, 'See the Lighthouse Burning* and 'Beggars Could Write.' Zolynas is an Austrian born poet who has travelled the world in search of a home: He teaches at USIU in San Diego, and has published a collection called 'The New Physics.' Kowit teaches at Southwestern College and has published a collect tion called, 'The Maverick Poets.' John said she received "enthusiastic" cooperation from CSUSM, particularly from Dr. Ken Mendoza of the English Department, who will emcee the event. She enlisted the help of student Tanis Brown to acquire the free use of a room at the Joslyn Center, 111 Richmar Rd. in San Marcos. Currently, the journal has received over 60 submissions, but has no resources to fund the $1,500 project. Even though admission to the reading is free, John said she hopes viewers will be inspired to give donations for the cause. The presentation will begin at 4 p.m. on March 17. There will be an . intermission in the show and refreshments can be purchased. Admission is free. �PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 14 %% WEDNESDAY 910 Drinks 9pm-close Win Cash "Money Mania LADIES NIGHT fiM U s s - t l Male \ \ZfrV Dancers Showtime 8:30pm-close SUNDAY 9 Lights Out North County blsIA U.S.A Dazzling Dolls AFTERDARK Live Jazz 8pm-midnight Foxy Boxing Showtime 8:30pm-close THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY Dancing Starts at 8:30 • Nightly Drink Specials • Endless Fun W^ Reuben's Bring in this ad and pay no cover charge • 2515 EliCamino Real, Carlsbad • 434-1766 • Must be 21 St. Patty s i ^ Sunday, March 17th j Q y 9 | P Live Jazz 7pm * }Win a trip to Las Vegas �TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991/PIONEER On C ampus CASSI: Computer Assisted Study Skills Instruction from Georgia Tech has arrived and is available for students to use in the Library.

Chapman received 99 of the 160 votes cast in the election. The run-off election was called after Chapman failed to obtain the presidential seat in the April 22 and 23 election by three votes. In order to obtain the seat of president, a candidate must garner 50 percent of the votes plus one vote to constitute a simple majority. "I have mixed feelings about the elections," said Chapman. "I was disturbed by the 50 percent plus one rule. It created a lot of hardships among the small student body." Chapman said that the extra time spent campaigning for the second election could have been used for class study. He also said the smaller number of students voting caused him to be concerned over who the winner might be. Business major William Jungman obtained five post-baccalaureate votes to gain a council seat over opponent John Cave, who received two votes. Jungman is a dentist who practices in Escondido. The turnout, which represented 25 percent of the student population, was 10 percent smaller than that of die April ballot. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt said that traditionally, run-off elections draw a smaller crowd than the first ballots. He also indicated that his department might have undermined the turnout by holding elections on a Wednesday. "I think we out-thought ourselves by moving the election to Tuesday arid Wednesday," he said. "We didn't realize that there were not any Wednesday night classes." Zomalt said he still felt that anybody who wanted to vote had the opportunity to do so, but indicated future elections will be planned after consulting the class schedule. JOSE CHAPMAN/ The A.S. Council will meet during PRESIDENT-ELECT the summer to discuss budgetary problems facing the organization. In the April election, the ballot measure enabling the student government to collect fees from its constituency was turned down. As a result, the victorious Measure B, which affixed a $15 student fee to members of the A.S., could not be implemented. According to Zomalt, the student government needs money for incorporation by the fall semester. "The budget is first priority," said Chapman. The president-elect said that during the summer he and the Council will engage in dialogues on the budget and work on fund-raising activities. Local firm reduces toxic emissions Signet Armorlite cuts 2 5 percent of airborne waste T oxic r eduction p lan ANNUALLY 1987 ANNUALLY 1988 LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Signet Armorlite, a local eyeglass lens manufacturer that has recently topped the list of toxic emitters in Sail Diego County, wants the surrounding community to view it in a different way. According to the county's Air Pollution Control District, the firm has already cut emissions of methylene chloride by 25 percent, and plans to reduce the discharge of the suspected carcinogen by as much as 90 percent in the next few years. Officials from the APCD estimate that Signet will achieve a 50 percent reduction rate by the end of 1991, and a 75 percent rate of reduction by March 1992. "The pollution reduction program will reduce annual emissions of methylene chloride by 205 tons by January 1992 and 384 tons by March 1994," said Richard Sommerville, air pollution control officer. Signet, which is located about a quartermile west of Cal State San Marcos, was ranked as the top toxic emitter for 1987 and 1988 in a JANUARY OTONS 100 200 EMISSIONS 300 400 500 600 JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER report by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Library survey r esults announced In response to a student petition supporting expanded library hours, Library Services' steff sent a questionnaire^toall CSUSM San Marcos students in March. Ninety-eight surveys were returned by the April 30 due date Marion Reid, Director of Library Services, has announced the results. • Of those responding, 87 percent indicated that they would like to see the library open later on week nights. Of the choices given, more were interested in a 10 p.m. closing time that an 11 p.m. time. • 92 percent would like to see the Library open later on Saturday, with a three-way split on whether the closing time should be 6 p.m:, 7 p.m. or 9 p.m. Three quarters of indicated that, if the Library were to open on Saturday mormngs; itshould open at 9 a.m. o rlOpm rather than at 11 a.m. or noon. • 80 percent would like to see the library open on Sundays, most of them preferring Sunday hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or noon to 8 p.m. "Additional (Library) hours, which require additional part-time staff, require more money,*' Reid wrote in a letter to Pioneer. "This summer I will work with Library staff to determine how existing library hours Monday through Friday mightbe rearranged to better accommodate students needs as reflected in the returned questionnaires."

NAA r aises $ 200 donation The SDSU North County Chapter of the National Association of Accountants (NAA) at its spring awards banquet held May 1 raised $200 in donations for CSUSM for the formation of its own NAA chapter. Robin Bowan, a CSUSM student, was named the most active club member at the banquet. With student evaluations expected this week, students at Cal State San Marcos are still wondering what has become of last semester's evaluations. According to administrators, evaluations from last semester were not used for retention, tenure, or promotion (RTP) purposes. The questionnaires, filled out by students at the close of last semester, were returned to instructors without being viewed by the university. College officials contend that CSUSM was not obligated to use last semester's evaluations in personnel rehiring; but some feel that the university's intentions with the evaluations was misleading. Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said there are two ways student evaluations of teachers can be used. The first is to give student feedback to the instructors so that they can "enhance the quality of instruction." The second use of the evaluations is to aid decision-making in Person- nel Services. 'The sole purpose (of the fall evaluations) was to improve teaching," said Rocha. According to Rocha, evaluations for instructors in his college Were copied and kept for his personal records to have available for review with instructors. Thé originals were then given to tlje individual teachers. No evaluations were placed in personnel files. "He (Rocha) certainly didn't talk to me about studentevaluations," said former CSUSM part-time English' Professor James Mack. "In fact he couldn't find them." Mack said instructors were led to believe that the evaluations would be used in the hiring process for spring semester. He said that, by not placing evaluations in the personnel files, CSUSM is violating union contract provisions. Article 15.14 of the California Faculty Association's Union Contract states that, "Written questionnaire student evaluations shall be required for faculty unit employees who teach." The article states that the evaluation results shall be placed in the faculty unit employee's personnel file. CSUSM officials draw from Article 15.22 ofthe union contract, which indicates that the university is not obligated to review the personnel files for part-time instructors who have taughttwpsem^tQrsQrless. I lie decision to withhold evaluations from theRTPprocess came from the Faculty Affairs Committee of the Academic Senate. Stella Clark, chair of the committee, said that the organization'Could not agreaupon how to u$e orinterpret theevaMtfdn$,She said the committeedid decide toreturn the evaluations to the individual instructors for review. "The process of interpreting evaluations is still very undefined," said Clark. "We think student evaluations are integral, but we haven't reached a system." "When I joined in January, I was informed that the Academic Senate had had some trouble getting its work done," Rocha said. "The A.S. really struggled with its calendar." He explained that the Academic SEE EVALUATE/PAGE 4 SDSU North County reduces under state budget pressure in the fall semester schedule," wrote SDSU North County campus Dean As a result of extreme budgetary Patricia Huckle in a letter to students restraints, San Diego State North dated April 17.

During the past academic year, SDSU North County has shared its library, health services, bookstore and counseling services with CSUSM. The two colleges had originally planned to gradually move many of those student programs that are primarily controlled by SDSU under the wing of CSUSM over the course of next year. The pullout of programs, however, has sped up the process. "Don't assume that cooperation between CSUSM and SDSU will be over," said SDSU spokesperson George Cole. "With the growth of .

After construction and approval from the Senate, CSUSM President Bill Stacy must approve the form. The Senate did complete the evaluation form, but was not content with its format far personnel usage. Founding Faculty member Patricia Worden, who acted as dean for the College of Arts and Sciences last semester, said the committee "requested results not be used" because agreement could not be reached on the questionnaire's wording. "We wanted an assessment device S DSU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 that has good psychometric properties," said Warden. 4<We want it to mean something." Warden indicated that the committee has decided on a form that is "somewhat similar" to last semester's to be used this week. Mack said that the forms used last semester were obvious copies of evaluation forms used at another college. 'They were obviously xeroxed and have been used by some other university. They were perfectly acceptable," he said. Mack, who said the results of his evaluations were "stunningly good," believes the university would have looked at his retention in a different light had the surveys been used for personnel purposes. wish to stay away from the main campus. "If students are close to graduating, then we recommend they go to the main campus. If they have 30 units or more left to complete, then we recommend they transfer here," Zomalt said. About 100 SDSU undergraduates attended two separate information sessions last week to learn about their options as continuing undergraduates amidst the closing of their North County campus. Cal State San Marcos officials told those who attended that they were welcome to transfer to the new school, but that they would not get priority in the registration process. The option of concurrent enrollment, wherein SDSU students can take classes at Cal State San Marcos with all the units applying towards their SDSU financial aid, was the best received of the ideas presented. Unfortunately, according to some of the students present, the Cal State San Marcos schedule is either too small, or irrelevant, to make use of current classes. In particular, Accounting and Finance majors at SDSU North County feel that they have no choice but to drive south to finish their programs. The finance students observed that Cal State San Marcos has almost no finance classes, and the Accounting majors were discouraged that the Cal State San Marcos accounting curriculum is still awaiting secondary accreditation. Zomalt said students transferring over completely to CSUSM will be given priority over those concurrently enrolled in both colleges. San Marcos, it makes good sense to try to keep the transition smooth." CSUSM Executive Vice President Richard Rush said that CSUSM is currently negotiating with SDSU over the use of SDSU-run facilities. "Negotiations with SDSU, as always, have been most cordial and helpful. We anticipate things to stay largely the same," said Rush. According to University Library Librarian Bonnie Biggs, the library's collection, including bodes, microfilm and periodicals will remain at the North County site. Biggs also said that the computers will remain on campus. "All the books stay here. We have been blessed," said Biggs. "It's my understanding that the computer labs will stay intact for the next academic year." Rush indicated that some items, like the piano in the Student Lounge, are on loan by SDSU and must be returned. Most of the administration of SDSUNorth County will transferover to the CSUSM side of the parking lot next fall. Last year, the members of the North County campus staff were asked to sign letters of intent, which gave them the opportunity to transfer their positions to CSUSM. According toRush,alloftheSDSU personnel indicated that they would prefer to move to CSUSM. "We don't face the personal tragedy of having to lay people off. We're looking at growth," said Rush. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt said that CSUSM is also expected to take on many of the SDSU Jonathan Young and David Hammond North County campus' students who contributed to this article.

C SUSM Yearbook �1ESDAY, MAY 14, 1991/PIONEER SIGNET CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 statewide environmental watchdog group indicated that Signet is responsible for one percent of California's ozone-depleting emissions. In February of last year, Signet unveiled the $1.5 million plan to reduce emissions, after officials at nearby Palomar College expressed their concerns. After hearing of the amounts of chemicals released into the air, PalomarSuperintendent/PresidentGeorge Boggs requested a computerriskassessment test to evaluate possible effects of the emissions on the public. Signet countered the request by ordering a more accurate and costly $100,000 actual assessment of the plant's emissions. "I give them a lot of credit," said Dick Smith, deputy director of the APCD. 'They just said, 'let's spend extra money.'" The risk assessment uses assumptions that overestimate the chance of contracting cancer to assure that the actualriskis lower, said officials from the APCD. For example, the maximum residential risk is calculated for a hypothetical person who resides at the point of maximum emissions impact 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for 70 years. The test, conducted by Envirologic Data of San Diego, revealed that emissionsfromthe Signet facility do not pose any imminent or short term danger to public health and safety. However, it did show a possible increased cancer risk from long term exposure to methylene chloride emissions. The news of Signet's toxic reductions comes on the heels of an effort by the company to assist CSUSM in its Business Partners Program. Although no formal announcement has been made by the College of Business, a Signet official confirmed the company's application to the program. "We have gone in and signed the papers and have even sent in our donation already," said a Signet spokesperson. According to the source, Signet sent its application to the college on March 5. A $1,000donation qualified them as a partner in the Business Partners Program. The program will link each College of Business student with a local businessman who will serve as a mentor. The program will be fully implemented next fall with four different levels of business partners. As of press time, only HewlettPackard has been announced by the university as a business partner. The university would not formally confirm Signet's involvement Û ÊWS~5 Doctor answers health questions Some answers to questions never asked: 1 . No, Vitamins do not provide quick energy.

Yet, upon closer examination, the company might be on the side of the good guys. For 1987, the lens manufacturer steamed 450 tons of methylene chloride (a suspected carcinogen) into the atmosphere. The figures OUR VIEWS STAFF Events demonstrate supply and demand In "Principles of Economics," business maors learn about the most basic of market forces: supply and demand. Interestingly, several events )f the last week demonstrate this balance as it iffects business education.

Then, in San Marcos is that many of the students have terms of our stated supply and demand theories, more years of successfully doing business DAVID HAMMOND management than some of the faculty have years just studying i t The new standards could serve to balance the faculty. The academic, inexperienced doctors could be complemented by the less formally trained, but highly experienced practitioners. In terms of our opening economic theory, this is the supplier (business schools) adjusting to the new demands of the buyers (employers). Finally this week, the latest Michigan State University job market survey was released. Business and computer science graduates will be in greater demand than supply. That means that starting salaries for Cal State San Marcos business graduates could be very attractive. Job market surveys are relevant because they tell us what is happening now (who is getting hired) and what will begin to happen in the future (what subjects will be in demand). Now the astute reader is experiencing some dissonance at this point I blasted business education at both the graduate and undergraduate level, and now I am admitting that there will be more jobs for business majors than business graduates in the near future. However, considering the source, there are really no surprises here: I am working on my MBA with the hopes of teaching college business courses. As a non-doctorate, it is to my advantage to push subscription to the more liberal AACSB standards. As an MBA candidate, it is to my advantage to quell the tide of colleagues with this credential. Finally, as a future faculty member, I want every qualified student to major in business. You see, no one understands better than a business major the powerful economic forces of supply and demand. EDITORIAL for 1988, which were released last year, indicated that those numbers hadrisenby nearly 100 tons. Thesefigureshave placed Signeton the top of county's toxic emitter lists. With all these statistics, one would think that Lex Luthor and the Joker were at Signet's controls with the intent of foiling our heroes, the Air Pollution Control District and the Environmental Protection Agency. : ~ Thihfcagalri* ;Th6 rftaihfviflains in this environmental battle are the APCD and the EPA themselves. Wearing the tights of the governmental good guys, both agencies are examples of environmental apathy in action. In 1980, under the Clean Air Act, the EPA was given the responsibility of determining what toxic substances to regulate. The EPA has performed this task dreadfully. Potentially toxic substances are not researched thoroughly, if at all, as to their potential effects on humans. Of the nearly 70,000 chemicals now in use by businesses, less than 2,000 have been properly tested. When the EPA says that a "substance has not been proven harmful," businesses are able to still use chemicals, like methylene chloride, and still remain within the EPA's substandard regulations. The APCD is equally at fault for propagating the problem. Despite a recent State Supreme Court ruling giving counties the right to regulate potentially dangerous substances, the APCD still follows the EPA's mediocre guidelines. Foreseeing possible future regulations and responding to the local college community's sensitivity to the subject of toxic emissions, Signet is making an effort to regulate methylene chloride usage on its own accord. This year the company is moving down the list of top county emitters by reducing emissions 25 percent By 1994, the company will be off the list by miles. When you consider that this aggressive emissions reduction program was instigated by Signet due to community response and not by the APCD or the EPA, it is apparent that the real bad guys are the agencies that should know better. �OPINION TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1991/PLONEER 7 Writing mandate, minorities top issues Student evaluations should count less PIONEER 250-2 So.

ALICE WALKER, 'THE COLOR PURPLE' system, but not forced by the faculty. I believe that some students have legitimate concerns about the writing requirement and teaching goals. While others disagree with the writing requirement because they do not want to do the work, some complain about the workload. CSU San Marcos should retain the writing requirement Also, CSU San Marcos should balance teaching with applied and theoretical research so that 50 perfect of the faculty's time is devoted to teaching and the other 50 percent be devoted to applied and theoretical research. If the university aspires to these principles, then we, as students, will be better prepared to either enter the labor market or graduate school. Thus students and the local community benefit in having a well-rounded institution of higher learning that serves all and not just a few individuals. There were two opinions I disagreed with that appeared in Pioneer on April 30. These opinions were the writing requirement ("Your Views") and instructional goalsCTeachinggoals need evaluation").

DAVIS/CSUSM STUDENT writing courses to graduate and where students research should be emphasized in the CSU take mostly scantron examinations instead of essay examinations which make students use analytical and critical skills? Personally, I do not want to be a robot and regurgitate information and play a multiple guess game with scantron examinations which do not help develop better analytical, critical, and writing skills. Although, I concede on the argument made by Lora Coad ("Writing requirement has become a sore spot") that some instructors are unimaginative about writing assignments. Her argument about making excuses for returning students being thrown into intensive writing assignments because they lack the skills is an absurd excuse. The real world also has assignments and duties one must complete to be successful at life. The university is a mere training ground for the grueling graduate work and/or labor market. The other opinion article that I disagree with is David Hammond's editorial titled 'Teaching goals need evaluation." . Mr. Hammond asserts that many students are exhausted with the amount of work required for upper division courses. I believe that the assignments are hard and challenging, but is not life or attaining an advanced degree hard and challenging? Another point, where I disagree with Mr. Hammond, is with the way the faculty is retained. He states that student evaluations should account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion YOUR VIEWS Minorities sparse in CSUSM classes �• Baseball heroes still being molded SEAN iMEftil/COh Baseball fans of t greattimefor the spor "The Great Americ Though we may not i ball of the '90s is fille and heroes that will American Pastime ERNIE MARTINEZ/CONTRIBUTOR •••• • j .—/• , • •• • I can remember as far back as the age of three-years-old.

Once a batter hits that round ball squarely with his bat, this is where he is headed. In the game of batting performance, the Hitting Zone in Vista tries to get players to the next base. "What we try to do here is get players to the next level by strengthening ability, talent and mechanics," said Jim S ullivan, Hitting Zone owner. The next level could mean getting into Little League or acceptance into a college program from high school. The Hitting Zone is not just an indoorbatting facility, its purpose is to coach batting. Only a couple months past a year old, the business has*about 45 to 50 students and a few success stories already. Why? Because this unique facility flexesthe brain muscle as much as the arm muscles. "We just pack them full of information " Sullivan said. He says he uses the best text available: actual video footage of baseball pros from Babe Ruth all the way up to Tony Gwynn. "What we're trying to do hittingwise is to determine what's the ball doing off the bat," Sullivan said.

FIRST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 all great hitters, the actual chain of motions is exactly the samefromthe first step." Sullivan is quick to stand and prove his point He sets his body up in the normal batting stance and explains howrightand wrong information is viewed by the students. A quick lesson of myths and facts shows Sullivan's love and personal thrill for the game. He says 70 percent of his students have learned to roll their wrists as they swing the bat, or fully extend their arms throughout the swing. Sullivan explains that these two common misconceptions of hitting a ball is corrected by watching the pros. "If you can find it in the greatest batters of all time, then I will use i t... I'll be satisfied," he said. A slide show, a number of video clips and even the old favorite sport ofcollecting baseball cards prove the facts that correct many myths. "It is fact," Sullivan said. "This is what happens. There is no guessing. "The hardest thing is when the kids go back to the field and their coaches tell them differently." Sullivan explains that kids arefrequentlytorn between his views and the views of their coaches and have to make a decision for themselves. Some of those batters that have followed the advice of Sullivan have not only made it on base, but have continued to round the diamond. He has a proud list of success stories, garnered in the few months he's been open, but Sullivan says there's no greater reward then being able to hit that home run.

That is the mystique of Major League Baseball. This phenomenon tells you a lot about those people known as bleacher bums, who have been through many hardships and heartbreaks through the years. Facing championships that could have been and should have been and enduring all conflicts and problems their favorite team or players have had, they will be true to their favorites to the end. As for the legends of today who will be the next DiMaggios, the Mantles and the Aarons of the future. One must look at the likes of Jose Canseco, Roger "The Rocket" Clemens, Dwight Gooden and Will "The Thrill" Clark, just to mention a few. Some will say that's far fetched but these are the new legends and heroes of Major League Baseball whose baseball cards will be clutched to for dear life and whose names will adorn the walls of Cooperstown, right there with the Ruths, the Gehrigs and the Mantles. Now is the time to take advantage of this great time in baseball in which many records will fall and legends will make their mark in this game we call America's Greatest Pastime.

How could America's Greatest Pastime come down to the greed of the ball player wanting more money than the guy who's playing next to him? This is a team sport It takes all 24 players to work together to win a pennant, but sometime you wouldn't know i t Some say the fiasco of these high priced players started with the California Angels' signing ofpitcher Mark Langston to a $16 million contract last year. A $ 16 million contract, huh? Of course, owner Gene Autry had one thing in mind, and that was the hope for a championship season. Langston instead had a disappointing year and still continues not to shine unlike he I Have a good summer, Fred! EXPLORE did before he signed for big money. How does a sport with so much memorable history behind it bail out of what seems to be an upcoming economic problem? Let the highpriced players finish their contracts out, then put a salary cap on them. Those who don't want to play for less money will have to find work elsewhere. To fill the void, there's thousands of young, aspiring minor league ball players who would love to get a shot in the bigs and become the new heroes our era. Something has got to happen. They say in a few years, we'll be chocking out bucks to watch the world series on pay-for-view television. C'mon, let's keep tradition. We can't lose a sport like baseball that has given us so many memories and so many stars to remember. What about the all-star games, the Championship play-offs and the fall classic known as the World Series. They're too precious to let go or see slide away. What happened to the dynasties of baseball? Gone. How can one forget the Cincinnati Reds' "big red machine" of the 1970s, the Dodger Blue wrecking crew, the New York Yankees' Bronx bombers, thePhiladelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates? Those powerhouses are long since gone. Let'sbring therealexcitementback to the game like the goose bumps of hearing Vin Scully call the Dodgers' Kirk Gibsons' 1988 World Series homerun in game one against the Oakland As. I believe baseball is here to stay, but it has to take a new direction. It's going to hit something and unless something doesn't change, the sport many love could be headed for problems. Hopefully it won't hurt the fans as far as their wallets are concerned.

By the first pitch of the fourth inning, I was ready for a hot dog. The stale bun and indeterminable meat product inside made me wonder why baseball and hot dogs are inexorably linked. The flavor of the dog was crying "foul" in my mouth by the fifth inning, so I bought another Schlitz. It was a little less tasteless than before. I thought for sure I could get on base during the sixth with an order of ball park nachos. Thechips themselves had no flavor and the sauce had the watery consistency of the goo on the dugout floor created by tobaccochewing pitchers. Yet, they tasted better than anything so far. Another beer was ordered before $ 4* ^n the seventh-inning stretch/I emitted a large belch and made room for more baseball snacks. During the eighth, I decided to give the hot dogs another try. This dog, for some unexplainable reason, was the best I'dever tasted. I followed it down with a box of popcorn, an ice Cream sandwich, a churro and some cotton candy. All were bursting with flavor. I tried the Cracker Jacks again in the ninth, but got a crummy prize. The total cost of the day's game was $47.20. Service was excellent, with vendors of all kinds roaming the stands, and the atmosphere hit a homerun in my book. For those of you who like to go to the ball park for just the food, you can find better quality at a nearby movie theatre, circus or swap meet. But, none of those places have vendors that can hit a bull's eye with a bag of peanuts at a hundred yards. ^ Money Hungry Waiters and Waitresses Looking for a change? Be your own boss.

Who among us can look at that certain painting or photograph depicting a glistening ocean, blue sky and a lone white sail at the horizon without longing for distant shores? What is perhaps man's oldest mode of travel on the waters of the world still creates a lot of excitement today. The passion for sailing could clearly be felt at the May 3 opening ceremonies for the 1991 International America's Cup Class Championship at Seaport Village in San Diego. The America's Cup Committee, in conjunction with the San Diego Port District, built an International Village, adjacent to Seaport Village, and a gigantic stage on which opening and closing ceremonies were presented and entertainment throughout the week took place. Opening events drew a good-sized crowd of San Diegans and sailing enthusiasts from all over the world, who gave the suntanned crews and their skippers from six countries a hearty welcome. After addresses from San Diego Mayor Maureen O'Connor and other dignitaries, ceremonies concluded with a truly spectacular firework displays. Racing on the approximately 22 nautical mile course off Point Loma began the next day, and continued daily until Saturday. Nine boats in all were entered: U.S.A., three (including Stars and Strips); Italy, two; New Zealand, one; Japan, one for the first time; Spain, one; and France with one boat. Fleet races, including all boats in some, went on for the first five days, semi-finals took place Friday and finals occured Saturday. Italy^s IIMor di Venezia, doing well throughout the week, won the semi-finals and went on to run a perfect race to win against New Zealand in the finals. Award ceremonies took pace Saturday evening and concluded with another show of breathtaking fireworks. But it's not over y et Races will go on for an entire year. The exciting events of the past week were just the kick-off for "The Year of the Cup" in San Diego, culminating with the competition for the coveted "America's Cup" by May 1992. Even though Dennis Conner withdrew Stars and Stripes out of this year's race before the finals, perhaps Mayor O'Conner's quip from her opening speech "... and may the best Dennis Conner win" will still turn out to be prophetic. Championship sails into area The same breeze that ruffled the flags in downtown San Diego filled the sails of the yachts participating in the'International America's Cup Class World Championship races this week.

These "Ferraries of ocean racing" translate the light, low slung 75' hull and huge sail area into tremendous speed. Besides the U.S.A., 11 nations competed in the World Championship races. By the semi-finals, after U.S.A.'s Dennis Conners pulled out the Stars and Stripes, the yachts from Italy, New Zealand and Japan competed for the final run on Saturday. The Italians emerged victorious. �TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1991/PIONEER ACCENT 13 C alendar Noon-time Concert: Claiming a guarantee to erase those pre-final blues, two master Latin percussionists will perform May 14 in the Student Lounge.

'Mortal Thoughts' not cliché 'Mortal Thoughts' is a murder mystery that is far from being a tired cliché. It involves the audience from the first frame and keeps them guessing until the closing credits. Demi Moore stars as Cynthia Kellogg, who is being interrogated in a police station by Harvey Keitel. Through her viewpoint, we see the story of her best friend Joyce Urbanski (Glenne Headly) and her friend's husband (Moore's real-life husband Bruce Willis). When Cynthia's friend married James Urbanski, there was trouble from the start. His abusive behavior becomes worse as the years pass and his wife often talks of killing him. One night at a carnival, a druggedout James pushes his final button and, as Cynthia tells the police, her friend slits his throat with a knife. Together, they dump the body in ariverand vow never to tell anyone what happened. natural as Cynthia. She adopts a Brooklyn accent that sounds like she was born with it. Headly and Willis also do very well with their respective parts. It's not very hard to see Willis as an abusive, bullying type. It's also a credit to Moore and Willis that their real relationship doesn'tshow through their adversarial roles. The downfall for 'Mortal F ILM C R I T I C Thoughts' is the script.

CSUSM Closing? Registration continues as campus and state officials deny reports that newest Cal State campus will close LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER On the day many Cal State San Marcos students received their registration packets for fall 1992 enrollment, they were greeted by the uneasy prospect that their campus could be eliminated from the CSU system. An article in Wednesday's Los Angeles Times reported that CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz told members of Sacramento's Comstock Club that, faced with legislative budget cuts, the CSU will be forced to close campuses. The article specifically named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of closure. Although Munitz could not be reached for comment, Max Benavidez, a spokesman for the CSU, denied allegations that CSUSM could be shut down. "I talked to the chancellor Monday on the telephone and he was very supportive (of CSUSM). I don't see him crumbling a bit," CSUSM President Bill Stacy said. Stacy said that, in light of that phone conversation, he was shocked and surprised by the headlines in Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. He added that the chancellor gave no indication that campus closure was forthcoming. According to Stacy, the chancellor's concerns revolved around the construction schedule at CSUSM. In the event that Proposition 153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy** and delayed for as much as two years. The $900 million bond act would allocate funds to public institutions of higher education throughout California. Because CSUSM is still in its construction phase, it would be the most severely affected by the failure of Prop. 153. Stacy said that the Los Angeles Times reporter incorrectly interpreted the chancellor's statement as meaning the campus might close. Benavidez said if the CSU is shortchanged in the upcoming legislative budget, Prop. 153 fails in the June election, and student fees do not rise by 40 percent, then 20,000 students — a population of comparable to that of a single campus—might be denied admission to CSU schools. "Ifall three occur," said Benavidez, "we may actually have to close down a campus. It is doubtful that it would be CSUSM." The spokesman said that the chancellor is still committed to the expansion of CSUSM and would actually like a speed-up of building if at all possible. In September, Munitz indicated that he would like to see construction at the Twin Oaks Valley Road site accelerated to accommodate overflow from other CSU schools. "Because it*s new, because its needs are so great... this (campus) has to be a priority for the state," Munitz told reporters. Even though officials deny that CSUSM might be closed, the Los Angeles Times article sparked concerns and reactions in community leaders, staff and students. "All this smoke has caused lots of anxiety," Stacy said. On the day the article appeared in newsstands, a prestigious faculty member from Pennsylvania State University was visiting the campus and assessing job opportunities at CSUSM. Stacy said the professor showed confusion over the future of the university. Barbara Davis, who served as secretary to the president when the article was published, said that a number of students dropped by the office to voice their reactions. "Anger was prevalent and real concern," Davis said. "People seemed to be galvanized into action." Davis said students voiced "real opposition" to the statementand were ready to respond. SEE CLOSE/PAGE 4 International flair sets tone for first commencement ceremony JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The first commencement for Cal State San Marcos is scheduled for May 23 in a setting that reflects a campus of the 21st century. Beginning at 1 p.m., the graduation ceremony has a touch of international flair mixed in with traditional elements. Betty Huff who heads the organizational committee, said the students have opted for a more traditional ceremony, even to the point of requesting "Pomp andCircumstance" being performed during the processional. "They (the students) wanted the program to represent the occasion," Huff said. "It will have a sense of the international feel of the campus, but not like the International Festival" Dr. Komla Amaoku, a master African drummer and CSUSM instructor, will open commencement Henry Rodriquez, an elder with the Luisefio Indian Tribe, will close. The CSUSM student Andean Ensemble will perform before the ceremony begins. Huff said about 100 students will receive their Bachelors degree and 50 others will be recognized for completing the teacher credential program. Also, "Students with honors will be recognized," she said. As part of the program, estimated to last a little more than an hour, there will be time to introduce special guests. 'There will be special recognition of people who have contributed to the university," Huff said. 'This will be a unique one because there will be a little more introduction because it*s the first one." The ceremony will take place at the Twin Oaks campus, still under construction. The main driveway and turn-around, where the event will take place, is completed and landscaped. Originally, the committee had planned to seat the graduates on the main stairway, but, "They informed me that thePlaza Stairs will not be completed." Huff said. Huff said that parking is limited, since construction on the parking lots have not yet been started. She advises guests to car pool.

Jeff Henson, Charles Inglis, Angela Marie Lowder and Thomas Joseph Weir all will take their positions next fall. William R. Jungman was awarded the seat of Graduate/ Post-Baccalaureate Representative at Large as a write in candidate. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 A.S. President-electLaura Mitchell said she discussed the article with staff members and wasn't worried that the campus would not exist in fall. "Any student who read the story would know we weren'tclosing," she said. According to Mitchell, panic was avoided by extensivecommunication between Stacy and staff members. On the morning of the article, Stacy sent an electronic message over campus computers to stifle fears of CSUSM's closure. Mitchell said the faculty and administration then communicated Stacy's message to students. Future CSUSM students, however, didn'tshare the same degreeofaccess. Davis said one student from San Marcos High School was concerned that the campus would not be around in a few years. Former A.S. Council member Traci Barnhill, who took this semester off to have a baby, said she didn't know whether or not tore-apply to CSUSM. She said she was concerned that the campus would not be there. San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau said he wasn't too worried over the article's implications, but received a number ofcalls from people who were. San Marcos's Heart of the City zoning plan revolves around the construction of the university. "Having been involved (in CSUSM's development) from the beginning, I wasn't real concerned that it would be closed. I was anxious to get aresponse however," Thibadeau said. He said he talked to the Chancellor's Office on Wednesday and was assured that the article reflected a misinterpretation of Munitz's words. Thibadeau said the chancellor used CSUSM as an example should Prop 153 fail. Some campus officials speculated that, through his statement, the chancellor may have been trying to shock the people of San Diego into voting 'yes' on Prop. 153. Since the San Diego constituency voted down the previous higher education proposition, some viewed the chancellor's words as a warning on the next ballot initiative. "I don't think he deliberately sent out a message to spank San Diego or San Marcos," Stacy said. He said the chancellor was expressing how desperately the CSU needs additional funding. Last week California Governor Pete Wilson called for a $4 billion cut in the state budget Such a cut could take as much as $300million from the CSU. Last year's $ 198 million budget cuts in the CSU caused dramatic cutbacks in class offerings and staff layoffs through 19 of the system's 20 campuses. Stacy said that CSUSM is requesting a $22 million dollar budget from the Chancellor's Office. He said ' a reduction of funds to the CSU could cut the campus's operations budget to $17.8 million. The university also relies on the passing of Prop 153 to furnish the permanent campus. If passed, Prop 153 would funnel $27 million to CSUSM for construction, equipment and furnishings. "We've begun to pre-order equipment based on thebond issue passing," Stacy said. "We have three buildings non-furnished or equipped. There's not a stick of furniture in those buildings." G RAPS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 the location after the ceremony. "There will be a reception immediately following for the students and guests, hosted by the president," Huff said.

However, recently there was small piece in the Dear Abby column that I feel needs a response and is of interest to collegeage patients. The column implied that medical professionals are intentionally keep "a well-kept secret from their patients." The supposed secret is that antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and cause a significant number of unwanted pregnancies. To begin with, oral contraceptives are not perfect It is important to realize the pregnancies can occasionally occur even though the patient has taken all of her pills on schedule. The lowest expected first-year reported failure rate is 0.1 percent. In fact, it is probably closer to 3 percent Many different factors go into the 3 percent range. These are primarily related to compliance in pill taking. In my research of the subject, studies only indicate one antibiotic that definitely interferes with contraceptive effectiveness. It is called HEALTHNOTES BY D R. J OEL G RINOLDS, ? M.D. Rifampin and is primarily used to treat tuberculosis. There have been questions about two other classes of antibiotics that women frequently take/Penicillin class drugs (like ampicillin) and tetracycline class drugs are thought by some to interfere with contraceptives; however, in studies, no interference was detected and no pregnancies occurred. A recent study in 1991 looked at Doxycycline, a frequently used tetracycline, and found no interference. The authors state that "pregnancies attribute to interaction of oral contraceptives and tetracyclines are actually due to othejeauses or represent a rare idiosyncratic response in individual women." In my experience many women take tetracycline for acne and oral contraceptive at the same time and have no increaserateof pregnancy. I further discussed with Dr. Michael Kettle, assistant professor at the University of California, San Di. ego in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology. His expertise is in the areas of hormonal problems in females and is an expert in the use of oral contraceptives. He verified the information I found and stated that except for Rifampin, he issues no special precautions to women who are on other antibiotics. As in the case with any medical problem or treatment, individuals should discuss medication interaction with their personal medical provider and determine for themselves their course of action. If there is doubt in your mind if this specific case, the use of a back-up barrier method contraceptive during antibiotic use is always appropriate. Have a happy and healthy summer.

"If I could choose between a government without the press and the press without a government, I would choose the latter," Jefferson said. He envisioned the press as a kind of watchdog unit and the primary source of OUR V IEWS STAFF San Marcos isn't a college town — yet The city of San Marcos fought against other North County cities to win the honor of having the newest Cal State campus built here; it is obvious from talking with any city or civic member within this community that they take pride in the new university that is now being built in the heart of San Marcos. But those same happy people should have checked with the residents of San Marcos, because over the past year, they have been fighting their own battle of trying to keep every other development out of the city. From new businesses to an array of housing projects, residents have blasted everything that comes before the City Council. Most of the proposals are legitimate and necessary to prepare San Marcos for the student population it will have in several years — 35,000fromCSUSM alone in 2010—but the residents denounce the projects saying they will bring crime, gang violence and reduce property value. Just last week, the San Marcos City Council approved a low- to moderate-income housing development The council members were met with an onslaught of protestsfromthe neighboring residents in a seniors-only mobile homes park. One resident was even quoted as saying, "We do not need an incubator for future gang members in our backyard." The San Marcos Planning Commission gave its unanimous approval to the project last year, but not without the same battle with neighboring residents. "We are not against young people, all we are asking is that what we worked for all our lives not be taken away," a resident said then. Wait Businesses do not advocate crime or JONATHAN YOUNG PIONEER COLUMNIST sell drugs; they provide services, merchandise and tax revenues for the city. New homes, too, do not house gang lords or noisy maniacs; they provide a residence for families, working singles and aspiring students. The record shows that low- and moderatehousing projects, if planned properly, do not attribute to the crime statistics any more than the seniors that are complaining do. Those residents and the majority of San Marcos are wrongfully stereotyping students. The same complaints — crime, gangs, property value — hurt a Single Resident Occupancy development last November. The objecting citizens recited their dissatisfaction verbatim — crime, gangs, property value. Yet the SRO developer has reports of successful projects completed and run by his firm. In addition, the project proposed for San Marcos included larger rooms, stricter rules and better supervision. This housing was ideal for students who wanted a place to call home and not live in the stuffy dorms on campus. "We're using an upgrade SRO concept These are no seedy, small rooms but luxury studios for one or two people," said David Hadjesfromthe Argento Group, the consultingfirmrepresenting the landowner. 'There is a real need in our community for affordable housing. This in not going to be a flop house." Hadjes said the people who will qualify for this type of housing are seniors, police and fire professionals, bank tellers, waiters/waitresses as well as college students. Now, however, the SRO project has been changed to a senior complex. It will attract more of the same people to the area who do not want what is coming — students. San Marcos residents must realize they are in a college town. Half the population in 10 to 20 years will either be enrolled or working at CSUSM. A large portion will also be attending Palomar Community College,justminutesaway. Their enrollment is projected at 65,000 within the next IS years, according to Public Information officials. The senior citizens, therichand the snobby people in San Marcos will be out numbered. But if something is not done now, there will be a housing problem later. Trust the City Council. They have developed a master-planned zoning around the university to deal with the housing, traffic and relationship between the campus and local community. The city must incorporate low- and moderate-income housing now, to coincide with the campus* growth and prepare for the future. Stop your stereotyping. Stop your whining. There is a fantastic new creation in town called a university and everyone can benefitfromit if everyone works together to build not a college community for the 21st century. EDITORIAL information in a governmental structure where knowledge is vital to public enlightenment From this kind of envisionment by the founding fathers, the First Amendment of the Constitution was born. No one who supports the idealisms of the American system of government refutes the notion that a free press stands as a vital establishment for public enlightenment But sometimes the inherent power of the free press has negative results. In its zeal to inform the American public on breaking and active news, the press oftentimes creates or augments societal ailments. The coverage of last week's tragicriotsin Los Angeles illustrates how the press's influence propagated, rather than alleviated a problem. Looters saw first-hand, at any hour of the day or night, which businesses were unprotected by police forces and open for ransacking. While television newscasters stated, "It may be hours before police are able to arrive and secure the grocery store," hundreds of starving families in the area seized the opportunity to take what was readily needed and available to them. As a result, bands of looting "thugs" were joinedby mothers, children and elderlypeople who seized the opportunity to lift diapers and foodfromthe market Representatives from all demographic groups participated in the looting of businesses simply because the press gave them the green light to do so. The press, fueled by public appeal, broadcasted every aspect of theriotsand were rewarded by healthy viewerships. Certainly the people of L.A. had therightto know what tragedies were occurring in their city, but the press went too far in its coverage of events. The United States is the only nation in the world which televises riots in progress. If television stations are afforded the opportunity to cover another outbreak similar to last week's, let's hope they exercise more sensitivity and common sense. �Ailing educational systems needs transplant of funds with vouchers PIONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeth, Ken Baurmeister, Dr. JoelGrinolds, Regina John CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992, by PIONEER.

A THOUGHT; "Upon the weak the strong ones prey. In human life, it's all so true, the strong will try to conquer you. And that is what you must expect, unless you use your intellect." from THE SWORD IN THE STONE If our elementary and secondary educational systems were human they would be in the Intensive Care Unit dying from coronary heart disease. The educational system of today is like a plugged artery filled with plaque. The plaque which blocks the educational system are wasteful spending, bureaucracy, and inefficient instruction of children in public schools. The cure to this disease is a transplant from the current educational system to a school voucher system where parents can choose which schools (public or private, religious or nonreligious) they want their child or children to attend. There are many benefits which the school voucher system presents to American society. The first benefit is social because, with a school voucher system, the following could and would occur. First, poor people could afford to attend most private schools if they choose to do so. Secondly, minorities and poor whites would be empowered to escape the inferior public schools of the inner cities which are falling apart and filled with violence. Thirdly, the school voucher system would create an integration of socio-economic groups as well as ethnic and racial groups in public and private schools that the public schools have failed to do with forced integration of schools in the 1970s and the magnet schools of the 1980s. Besides social benefits, there are numerous educational goods to the school voucher system. One thing a school voucher system might do is force public school educators to abandon failing child-centered, progressive educational theories, and force them back to the basics in education and discipline, which propelled America to have the best educational system in the world in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition, schools might get back to the principle of teaching the 3Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic — instead of distributing condoms on the high school campuses and acting as a health clinic. Jim Downs, a retired public high school teacher, stated in his Blade-Citizen commentary that, "I was surprised to note again and again over the years that students coming out of St. Francis Catholic School in Vista, where there is no gifted program, knew more American History than those coming out of the Lincoln Middle School gifted program. Moreover, they (the St. Francis students)had superior expository writing skills." In addition to the educational benefits, there are multitudinous economic advantages in having a school voucher system. First, the current school choice initiative would give $5,200 to public schools per student (the current outlay per student) and give a $2,600 voucher to a parent who decides to enroll his or her child in a private school. Thus, if parents choose to use a voucher for private schools, then the state of California would save $2,600 per child who went to private school and the money saved could be used towards the staters fiscal or social YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM problems or refund it back to the citizens. Secondly, it California had a school voucher system, the state would not need to build as many schools because the private sector (schools) would lessen the load on public schools, and the private sector (schools) would develop new schools as the demand for them increased; thus saving the state tens of millions of dollars in capital construction costs of schools. Thirdly* why should public schools hold a monopoly when they are doing an insufficient job in educating our youth, and when the federal government prohibits monopolies (i.e. The Shaman Anti-Trust Act) except in utility ánd other specialized industries.' Finally, why should California taxpayers have to pay twice if they choose to enroll their child or children in private schools, especially when public schools offer an inferior education compared to private schools. I call upon the faculty, students and staff at CSU San Marcos to support an elementary and secondary school voucher system in the state of California. W ILLIAM " ROB* C HRISTENSEN/ CSUSM STUDENT Student apathy scolding is reprehensible action I am responding to the notion that CSUSM students aré apathetic to the growing pains of this university. Your staff editorial (April 21) states, "If the administration and founding faculty could start all over, the would probably proceed . . . minus one factor — the current apathetic student population.** This statement and your scolding is reprehensible. Yes, this university could benefit from a more active student population. However, it is imperative to understand the demographic make-up of the current student population before judgement is passed. A large number of students are older and returning to college for the umpteenth time. Many students are married and more than a few have children. Some are single parents. Home mortgages are not out of the ordinary. Jobs are a given. Furthermore, I would venture to say that this may be the last opportunity for many students to earn a degree. Graduating will be a miracle! We are not freshman-age youngsters riding on the backs of supportive parents, ignorant and bliss to the realities of life. We are hardened individuals that need to graduate as soon as possible. If feasible, we will help guide ad mold this university. However, don't condemn us if we are unable to contribute in a fashion you deemfit.So lighten up Pioneer! This university will survive. Student governmentandeverything else associated with it will flourish when the demographics shift to a more traditional makeup. G REGORY D . H EDTKE/ CSUSM STUDENT T aintbair sport does require skill, experience This letter is in response to Jonathan Young' s articles about Paint Pellet Pursuit, more commonly called Paintball. I have been playing the sport forfiveyears, own all my own equipment, and have played at all the San Diego fields. The two articles that Mr. Young wrote were positive in nature, which contrast much of the press. His first article, entitled "Despite public opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version of playing tag," was a good overview of the sport But I disagree strongly with Mr. Young's article, "Forget skill, experiences; winning a game is all luck." As an experienced player, I have the advantage of understanding how the guns work, and that understanding allows me to work the guns efficiently and aim the guns with accuracy. Besides understanding how the guns work, skill and experience do help. I have learned to be patient and control my fear, reacting in a controlled fashion byfiringback and seeking cover. Patience keeps experienced players from rushing into situations where they may be eliminated quickly without accomplishing their goal. Strategy is also an important element. It is developed with knowledge gained after each time played, its equipment, terrain, and action of the other players. I think experience and skill are helpful in winning and enjoying the game of paintball. S ETH T .

The audience tries to identify the victims, Jie murderers, and the witnesses in bis theatrical whodunit, butthey must be quick to catch the clues. Set at the "Imperial Ballroom" in Atlantic City in the year 1932, the 'Broadway Melody Hour Murders" invites its guests to dine and enjoy a full evening of sleuthing entertainment Throughout the entire performance, the characters interact with ihe audience. One parson in the aulience has to point the gun at a murder suspect for the "G" man. Another person is asked to watch the baby carriage for Mrs. Bambino. In between the acts, the characters serve the meal, but they also whisper ¿lues to anyone asking, and they will also sit and chat with a group of "detectives." Everyone viewing the play must grasp as many clues as possible in order to solve the mystery. Even Dribery is accepted (everyone gets Monopoly money for bribes). All the actors perform excellently.

At this unique restaurant in Escondido, the delight that comes with rolling your sleeves up and digging intoapileof oceanic treats offers diners the opportunity to cast all formal dining styles to the tides. Although Emily Post might object to the Sand Crab's offbeat practice of serving shellfish without the luxuries of silverware or plates, the tasty fare at this small hideaway far outsails its unusual etiquette. For its seafood specials, servers at the Sand Crab cover their tables with sheets of white papa*. A roll of paper towels is discretely placed on each table, to be used as napkins while dining. Each customer is given a small mallet and a pounding block to break the shells of crab legs. Food servers then dump a bucket of seafood specialties directly onto the table itself for diners to grab and devour at their discretion. This style \ of serving bears intimate resemblance to a New England clambake or OL G T m U M T LE I E O R E Ä BY L A R R Y BOISJOLIE Louisiana crawfish feast I ordered the Fisherman's Sampler and was pleasantly surprised at its wide variety of delectablesfromthe depths. The selection contained shrimp, clams, snow crab clusters, crawfish, New Zealand mussels, stone crab claws, a small lobster tail, sausage, new potato wedges, corn-onthe-cob and sourdough bread. The entire oceanic entourage is boiled to perfection in a broth of savory spices. Be aware that the shrimp, crawfish, clams and mussels are served au natural, so delicate peeling and digging is required. With the mallets and pounding block, the Sand Crab gives customers the ability to exercise the primitive urge to pound something. I found the little wooden implements to be most efficacious for crunching the heck out of thebothersomeshells that surround the delectable meat of crab legs. I discovered that a supple snapping of the wrist is the most effective technique in wielding the instruments. Diners are given small containers of melted butter, cocktail sauce and honey-mustard sauce for dipping. Apart from the seafood in the Fisherman's Sampler, I found the pieces sausage a welcome and slightly spicy addition to the meal. The small morsels will make your tastebuds swim in delight For those who don't care for seafood, the Sand Crab has a lunch menu filled with hamburgers and sandwiches. Spaghetti and dinner salads also grace the menu for non-seafood lovers. For dessert, I indulged in the Key lime pie, a tangy and creamy treat which perfectly topped the meal. The café also offers Snickers cheese cake, an unusual hybrid of the candy bar and the post-dinner classic.

As a resource aid, the center collects books in Spanish for children and adolescents which are published worldwide. Educators with the job of purchasing Spanish language books for their schools can travel to the center to see the books first hand and to obtain advice on which ones best meet their needs. People travel great distances to see the Center because it's the only one of its kind in the world. Its story is interwoven with that of Dr. Isabel Schon, its founder and director. Schon started the center last year because she felt a need to bring reading materials to Spanish speaking children. "If you can teach children to become critical readers, youcan teach them to become critical thinkers," she says. One of Schon's missions for the center is to lower the 60 percent dropout rate for Latinos in the United States. The Center is part of her method for achieving this goal and represents the culmination of years of work in thefieldof education. According to Schon, Spanish speaking immigrants have existed at the "sink or swim" level in American education. If children learned to speak English as if they were "immersed" in it, they had a chance at an education. If they didn't learn, they started to "sink" and fell behind. Schon says that four generations of a 60 percent dropout rate attests to the lack of success of this traditionally held method. Research shows that if children can learn to read in their native language first, they can transfer to English successfully in about three years. There are many common sense reasons for this rationale. Children that have grown up in a Spanish-speaking environment find it easier to learn to read in that language. Parents who speak Spanish can also help their children with lessons, giving the children a feeling of success. Schon says this feeling encourages students to feel better about themselves and thus be more - comfortable in school. Schon says a heightened sense of identity and self-worth is one of the keys to transferring from one language to another successfully. She stresses that a good bilingual program teaches culture and history along with language. There are also cultural reasons why Spanish speaking children may not have the love for reading that most English speaking children do. One reason, in Mexico for example, is that libraries are rare throughout the country. The city of Tijuana, for instance, has a population over one million but has no libraries. Mexican ' public primary schools have tio libraries and- New program addresses children's needs A new statewide Center for Collaboration for Children, dedicated to enhancing the relationships among children, families, education and social services, will be established at California State University, Fullerton, CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced Oct. 10. Funded in part from a $100,000 allocationfromthe Chancellor's lottery funds plus grants from the Arco Foundation and Annie E. Casey Foundation, the new Center will operate under Dr. Mary Kay Tetreault, CSUF's dean of the School of Human Development and Community Service. Sidney Gardner will be the Center's director. "There's a genuine need for a center to address the needs of California's 7.8 million children," Tetreault said. "We need to build new bridges across the walls dividing academic and community groups to concentrate on the whole child." Goals of the Center include: • Strengthening the role the CSU plays in educating and graduating thousands of teachers, social workers, counselors and health and human services professionals. • Working with faculty statewide to review theCSUcurriculum in education, health and human services to assess how well it provides professionals with the skills needed to collaborate with professionals from other children-related disciplines. • Restructuring children's services and public education in a way that would lead to libraries in high schools are a relatively recent development Although the Mexican government has a plantohave libraries in primary grades by 1994, economic conditions may delay this. Another reason for the lack ofreading among Spanish speaking children is that many of the books written for children in Spanish lack interest. "Approximately 70 percent of books written in Spanish for children are 'moralist* In other words they teach 4how to be good'" says Schon. "Many children don't grow up with a love for reading because so many of the books are boring and don't excite them." With the burgeoning population of Spanish speaking people in the United States, and especially Southern California, many schools have foundthemselveswiththedifficulttaskofhaving to stock libraries and classrooms with books in Spanish. The book center is becoming widely known and publishers world-wide are anxious to send books there because of the great exposure they receive. • i -. . , i new internships and programs placing students in settings where children and families are served holistically. • Incorporating models of multicultural collaboration in ways that promote unity rather than divide groups across racial and ethnic boundaries. • Providing in-service education and other community services^hat encourage public and private agencies to work together rather than along lines that fragment and sepárate the efforts of schools and other children's services agencies. • Conducting program and policy research to document what schools and state and local governments have done and could do to address the needs of children who are at risk of failure. The Center will be established immediately. Several CSU campuses will be involved in the system-wide program. The CSU graduates some 10,000 students per year in the children-services areas such as education, social work, child development, nursing and recreation. "For too long schools have gone one way and social service agencies have gone another," Munitz said. "This center will establish a multi-service approach to serving children. California's children are the future of CSU and the future of the state. We cannot ignore their needs or those of their families. We do that at the risk of failing our duty as educators." The center has collected nearly every book written in Spanish for children that has been published since 1989. Recently, a single shipment from Madrid brought 3,000 more copies. Schon has been a consultant on bilingual/ bicultiiral educational materials to schools, libraries and ministries of education in Mexico, Columbia, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Spain, Italy, Ecuador and the United States. She has received several national and international a wards including the 1987 Women's National Book Award. Along with conducting seminars and workshops for librarians and other educators, Schon also works with area businesses and hospitals. She has worked with nurses at Children's Hospital, selecting books for Spanish speaking children who stay there. Another important function of thebook center is to host an annual conference. The conference will highlight significant issues concerning reading and books for and about Hispanic/Latino young readers. The conference will be held in October of every year and will tie in with ^ SUSMVImematkmal^stivak — ~~ �N ews B riefs Student representatives needed The Associated Students is looking for two students to become a student representative on the Student Affairs Committee.

CSUSM expands global commitment to Africa L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Seeking to fulfill its Mission Statement of global understanding, Cal State San Marcos, last week, sent a delegation of administrators and faculty to the country of Ghana. The travelers, Dr. Dorothy Lloyd* assistant dean of Education, Dr. Richard Millman, academic vice president and Dr. Komla Imoaku, professor of Fine Arts, l eft f or the African country to exchange ideas and establish ties with the university there. "We are discovering ways to implement our global society ambitions," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy/'Students and faculty will have to learn to be global citizens." Stacy said that each individual chosen for the mission represents a different faction of the educational process. Lloyd will seek methods of helping Ghana mold teachers. Millman will concentrate on areas of the curriculum relating to mathematics and science, while Imoaku will share his knowledge of art with African instructors. Stacy said the the process of interaction is one of two-way dialogue. The three delegates will not only share their expertise, they will learn from the perceptions and knowledge of the Ghana educational system. "We want to make international communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos," said Stacy. 'We want to make international communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos.' B ILL S TACY, C SUSM P RESIDENT He indicated that many faculty members already have traveled throughout the world and share their observations with other instructors. In the future Stacy hopes to continue projects, such as the mission to Ghana, by sending professors and administrators around.the world in search of new educational ideas and heightened global understanding. He hopes to strengthen ties with universities in Mexico, Canada, Japan, China and Europe. Stacy said he looks forward to the day in the not-too-distant future when he can send students abroad as well as faculty in an exchange program setting. CSUSM also hopes to gain international perspectives by becoming a point of visitation for universities world-wide. This week an Anglican faculty delegation from Cambridge University will visit the campus to learn of the country's newest facility for higher education. Potentially CSUSM might o ffer parallel courses to those taught at Cambridge or other universities around the world. Stacy said missions like the Ghana trip and the Anglican visit serve as a vehicle to bring in course ideas that might have alluded the university. ; With the introduction of a stateof-the-art phone system at the Twin Oaks Valley Road permanent campus site next year, Stacy said the interchange of ideas between countries will b e facilitated. The system will allow instantaneous audio-visual communications between universities around the world. " We can establish a dialogue here at CSUSM about w hat's happening elsewhere," Stacy said. "Being there (in Ghana) today is concrete proof that this institution is serious about global awareness." Stacy was originally slated to go to Ghana, but do the visit f rom the Anglican delegation and other pressing university matters he chose to stay in San Marcos. " I d idn't go because of lack of interest, things just needed to be done at this institution," Stacy said. Former instructor to read from newest novel REGIWA JOHN/PIONEER Former Cal State San Marcos English professor and published fiction author Duff Brenna will read selections from his new book Wednesday at 12:30 in the Student Lounge. The widely published author has won several national awards for his short stories and poetry. Hisfirstnovel, "The Book of Mamie', won much critical acclaim and the Associated Writing Programs Writing Award for best novel in 1988. Brenna also received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1990. Brenna's new book, 'In Another Part of Heaven', addresses the loss of innocence imposed on children by adults. The theme is a recurring one in Brenna's books. "It is something I keep coming back to," Brenna says, ''because I find DUFFBRENNA/AUTHOR it so disturbing. Children have to find out that i t's a nasty world out there soon enough." Brenna says he feels that children should be allowed their few years of innocence. He has no understanding for parents who raise their children in a toxic environment of their making. He says that children can still triumph o ver d ifficult upbringings without turning into prostitutes and m urderers. ' In A nother P art of Heaven' i soneof hope for children as is ' The Book of Mamie'. In July of this year, Brenna sold the movie rights for ' Mamie' to JTK Productions of Canada and was hired to write the movie's screenplay. This finished, he spent time in Wisconsin scouting for possible movie locations. Jim Kaufman, owner of JTK Productions is due to arrive in California shortly to begin movie preparations.

I hope not. The latest development in the ongoing p ursuit of S hangri-la i s "Strength in Training." Now I know this sounds more like it pertains to the San Diego Chargers or to the bodybuilders at Gold's Gym, but in reality it is relevant to men and women of all ages.

"It won't happen to me," millions of heterosexuals would claim, " Idon't use intravenous drugs. I 'm straight" Last Thursday, however, those millions of denial-ridden A mericans may h ave found probable cause to worry over a disease that was formerly thought to be somebody e lse's problem when one EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of t he nation's greatest athletes announced he has the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Shortly after discovering that he was afflicted with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Magic Johnson announced his immediate retirement from the National Basketball Association. Unlike the vast majority of prominent AIDS victims, Johnson contracted the deadly virus through heterosexual contact According to statisticsfromthe Center for Disease Control (CDC), almost 91 percent of adult men who have been diagnosed with AIDS through September 1991 became infected by having sex with other men or through the use of intravenous drugs. Johnson represents only 3 percent of those males who have contracted the virus through heterosexual contact Before the heterosexual population climbs atop its soapbox and claims that these statistics support their claim, is is important to note that 34 percent of all female AIDS patients contracted the disease through heterosexual contact AIDS is a nondiscriminatory disease. We have seen it take the life from children,friendsand loved ones. Since there is no known cure for the disease, it is up to each of us to take steps in preventing the spread of AIDS to the best of our abilities. With the integrity and courage he has shown on the basketball court, Johnson pleads to us all to take preventative measures in stemming the tide of one of the nation's most feared and deadly disease's. Johnson's recommendation of safe sex is not a new one. But now that one of the nation's true heroes has learned that casual sexual contact can be deadly, it is a recommendation worthy of further consideration. Johnson brought a magic to the basketball court that few, if any athletes, have been able to match. Out of respect for his courage and integrity, we can all help Johnson bring that magic to the fight against AIDS. L ARRY BOISJOLIE Basic courses essential at CSUSM Finding an identity at Cal State San Marcos is a dilemma that faces many students. Since the university is composed only of commuter students, there are no dormitories or Greek organizations to keep pupils at its shopping center site. Compounding the problem is the fact that many CSUSM students are forced to travel outside of the campus to fulfill basic lower-division classwork. Most of those students go to Palomar or Mira Costa only by default As a result a type of schizophrenia has developed with students who are both CSUSM students and attendees of local community colleges. A complete sense of identity is denied them by their university of choice. Since CSUSM offers only upper-division coursework, such a situation is understandable. At this stage ofdevelopment, CSUSM does not have the faculty or monetary support to accommodate those extra courses. But, at a university where each student is required to write a minimum of2,500 words per-semester, per-class, it is absolutely essential that some elementary coursework be offered. CSUSM population demographics suggest that many students in attendance are returning from scholastic absence. For some of those students a basic English, mathematics or science course might have been fulfilled 10 years ago. How can a university require students to readily assimilate upper-division classwork with such a gap without presenting some mode of refreshment? Instructors have shared disappointment that student proficiency in writing competency is below upper-division competency. But when students have to wait three or four semesters to get their basic English composition classes at Palomar, some CSUSM .students might not havebeen able to, as of yet, meet t heir r equirement T he s ame situation holds true for riiathematics and science. C lasses are so impacted at community c olleges t hat STAFF EDITORIAL some CSUSM students have not been able to gain a seat. As a result, they meet their upperdivision biology or math theory classes with confusion. In addition, CSUSM might be able to more readily meet state Full Time Equivalent (FTE) percentages with just a meager offering of lower-division classes. Many students at CSUSM are full time, but their units are divided between two part-time course loads. All that is asked of the university is that they put one course for English composition, one for basic biology and one for college level mathematics on the schedule. These three courses are the most impacted at community colleges and probably the most lacking of CSUSM students. If you are a student at CSUSM who is forced to take a lowerdivision required class elsewhere, then send a small cordial complaint to Academic Vice President Richard Millman or your department dean. Such an action will require much less effort than finding parking at Palomar. If enough students voice their concerns, then perhaps administration will see the benefits of such abasic accommodation.

A T HOUGHT: "Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of Earth" C HIEF S EATTLE A few weeks ago an issue arose in this newspaper which, because the holiday season is almost upon us, is worth considering in some depth. The big question I 'd like us to think about is this; who does the woik for family reunions and a re these occasions r eflecting changes in women's values? The 20th century paradigm seems to be that the women cook (Sometimes for days in advance) while the men get together in the living room and watch football. The washing-up afterwards is done either entirely by women, or by a mixture of women and children of both sexes (until the male children reach puberty). In my own family things are run a little differently, everyone helps at every stage, and everyone gets to watch football. In my husband's family, however, Christmas and Thanksgiving arc very old world.

Grandpa has his outside work, his man's work. They are happy this way. They believe it is the ' natural'order of things. Grandma likes being boss in the kitchen. It is her source of pride and always has been; there is a feeling of communion, a female bonding in the preparation of holiday gatherings that I cannot deny is important to me. I could sit and watch football with grandpa and the men if I want to make an issue of i t But then grandma would have to do all the work, and she's 84. Part of me is angry that the men act this way. After all, times have changed; women work hard outside the home. But, I am also aware that if I make a fuss, I will lose. They will think I am emasculating my husband. They will feel confused and hurt. They will not be liberated by my views. The warmth and happiness and love of the holiday will be destroyed. So I stay silent in their home.

It sinks, underwater currents give it life and its silvery skin reflects beams of surface l ight To a sea-turtle, a whale, a dolphin, an albatross , one of the above means life and the other starvation. Laura Slavec of the education department at Sea World tells how, off the coast of North Carolina, a dead sea turtle Was found to have digested 15 plastic bags, a whale 50 bags. A juvenile Hawkbill Sea-Turtle, discovered on a Hawaiian beach, was found to have 1.7 pounds of plastic swelling its stomach. The turtle had swallowed: • 8 inch square plastic bag • a golf tee • pieces of monofilament fishing line • a bottle cap • chips of poly-styrene • a plastic flower • shreds of plastic bags and sheeting • a comb • and dozens of small round plastic pieces. Imagine,a 12pound turtle with 1.7 pounds of plastics in its stomach. That is equivalent to a 120 pound human with 20 pounds of plastic in its stomach. Fishing nets, plastic strapping, balloons, Styiofoam, tiny plastic pellets, six packringsall cause the deaths of over 100,000 sea mammals every year. Many deaths are provoked by things as innocent as an accidentally let go balloon or more intentional release of thousands of balloons at a special e vent Another accident that brings about the possible deaths of fish is the Styrofoam cups carelessly tossed into the oceans. Styrofoam last forever - even on the floor of the ocean. As the current breaks apart the stryofoam, it disintegrates into tiny white balls. Lying on the ocean floor these balls take on the appearance of fish eggs - a tasty tidbit for may kinds of aquatic creatures.

K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER �What to do with elephants In the past three years, the Asian elephant breeding program at the Wild Animal Park has faced a string of controversies. As the majestic animal stampedes toward extinction, Park officials and animal advocates are left wrestling with the dilemma of how to save this vanishing breed. L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER O N C E UPON A TIME there were herds of gigantic animals that roamed the continents of Africa and Asia. These majestic creatures stood as tall as 13 feet at the shoulder and weighed as much as eight tons. Theirs was a matriarchal social community, led by the females of the species. They roamed the land in search of food (leaves and shrubs) and gained respect from all living creatures including lions and t igers.... Such is the fairy tale of elephants many may tell their children in the not-too-distant future. At the turn of the century, Asian elephants numbered as many as 200,000 individuals. Today there Academicians estimate that each year may be no more than 35,000 to from 20,000 to 40,000 species of plants 54,000 left in t he wild. Most of and animals will perish from the face of the these animals live in isolated Earth.

CONDORS Compounding the plight of the elephants is the killing of the animals by poachers eager to GORILLAS capitalize on a lucrative WOrid-wide ELEPHANTS ivory trade. To many, elephants became walking treasuries rather than living beings. There may b e no happy ending to the tale of the elephants. As third world populations grow in Africa and Asia, it becomes increasingly less likely that the elephant population will keep a home in its natural environment Zoos and animal sanctuaries may be the last glimmer of hope for a once thriving species. In 1985, the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, opened its Asian elephant breeding program. Having met with birthing success in its African elephant program, the Park intended to become one of the few zoological institutions to successfully breed Asian elephants. But tragedy after tragedy ensued. By early 1991, the Park was faced with three stillborn elephants. In March of this year, animal trainer Pamela Orsi, 27, was killed when she was caught between two fighting elephants. In the same month the program's only successful birth was put to sleep because of infection. Last month another elephant was stillborn. Time and time again, the fledgling program found a shroud of controversy and tragedy at every turn of fate. C ONTROVERSY OVER the San Diego Wild Animal Park's elephant program began three years ago when a keeper at the San Diego Zoo alleged that Dunda, a recently acquired cow to the Park, was the subject of abusive treatment by Park keepers. C ONTINUED/NEXT PAGE �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1991/PIONEER CONTINUED/FROM PAGE 8 IJ (¡¡¡¡¡I iI I §g ^ M. i; || M fi o WÈÊË 1 11 I ¿y H *i MM J » ^ffilff ^ J »CATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER According to Tom Hanscom, director of Public Relations at the Park, keepers regularly use some degree of force to establish dominance over members of an elephant herd. He says that the type of force used by keepers at the Park to establish hierarchical control is similar to the same type of force elephants use in the wild to gain control of a herd. In a natural setting, each elephant maintains a social position in the herd based on the establishment of dominance. If a less dominant elephant wishes to rise up the social ladder, it must challenge a more dominant elephant in the herd. This challenge is usually manifested in a head-butting contest between the two animals.-If the dominant elephant retreats from the headbutting contest, it succeeds its position to the challenger. Hanscom says that keepers utilize this type of challenge to become the "head elephant" of the herd. By doing so, the animals become more responsive to keeper commands thereby becoming manageable. As an exhibitory animal at the San Diego Zoo, Dunda's former home, Dunda was not accustomed to this type of treatment Hanscom says the keepers at the zoo preferred to keep their distance from the animal rather than establish a trainer-elephant relationship. As a result, Dunda, in her new environment, did not recognize Park keepers as members of the herd. She was uncooperative and difficult to handle. In order to establish dominance, keepers used sticks to emulate the head-butting ritual of the herd. Animal rights groups, like the San Diego Animal Advocates (SDAA), view this kind of hands-on treatment as abusive. Sally Mackler president of SDAA says that, as a major source of revenue in San Diego, the public was blind to the practices of the Wild Animal Park. "Dunda brought the whole issue out of the closet," Mackler says. "It showed that the practices of the Park are different from public perceptions." Hanscom says that animal rights groups such as the SDAA used the Dunda incident to gain media attention. He says that by attacking a high-profile organization, like the Wild Animal Park, animal rights groups gained a level of public EXPLORE attention that they could not get otherwise. By citing abuse, these groups manipulated the public's perception in a way that was difficult for the Wild Animal Park to defend. "Abuse is a crime where the accused has to prove its innocence," says Hanscom. "The San Diego Zoological Society maintains that there was no abuse." Mackler indicates that, because elephants are extremely intelligent creatures, they are more susceptible to tactics of intimidation used by Park keepers. She says the most humane way of dealing with elephants is to utilize modern technology in restraining and controlling the animals without the need of physical touch. One such method, used in the Portland Zoo, utilizes a room with moveable walls to restrain their elephants. When an elephant needs medical attention, it is lured into the room. The walls of the room hydraulically squeeze the elephant so keepers can work on i t Such equipment is expensive, however, and some animal rights group question whether such practices are humane. E V E R SINGE THE DUNDA Incident, the public's attention has focused on the tragedies which have afflicted the Park's Asian elephant breeding program. Since the completion of its $380,000 breeding facility in 1985, the Park has suffered the loss of four baby elephants and an adult cow. Hanscom says that breeding failures are natural events that occur when wild animals are bred in captivity. He indicates that because elephants are such "high profile" animals, the public becomes more attuned to their breeding failures than the failures of other animals. "In the wild, it is estimated that at least 50 percent of first-born elephants die," he says. "We are following the same breeding protocol as other successful programs. Unfortunately things happened to our animals before the program was successful." Last March, Omar, the first baby Asian elephant born at the Park, died of infection. After 10 months of effort by Park veterinarians to nurse the calf to health, Omar was put to sleep by a lethal injection of phenobarbital. The Park also suffered from several stillborn CONTINUED/PAGE 10 ATTORNEY SPECIALIZING IN CRIMINAL DEFENSE Felonies a nd Misdemeanors • State a nd Federal Court Drunk Driving a nd Traffic Law Offices of James N.

Due to the tragic turn of events with the Asian elephant breeding program, the Wild Animal Park remains unsure of whether it will cdkitinue its program. Compounding the decision is a recent moratorium placed on elephant breeding by national zoological societies. The problem facing most elephant breeding programs is the question of what to do with the offspring. Due to the aggressive, unpredictable nature of male elephants, zoos are generally only able to keep one bull on the premises. Having more than one bull could result in dangerous battles between elephants during breeding periods.

Mackler says her organization does not support elephant breeding programs because of the low success rate they achieve. She attributes part of the problem to the limited space available to elephants in zoos. "In the wild there are complex and intricate relationships between the male and female elephants. There is no space for proper social interactions in zoos," she says. According to Mackler, female elephants are tied to "rape racks" at the Wild Animal Park. She says that these devices deny the elephants the opportunity for proper social interaction. But Hanscom points out that such instruments are necessary to ensure the safety of both the animals and the keepers. The mechanism introduces bulls to cows and also has the ability to separate them should a dangerous situation arise. Keepers need not put there lives in jeopardy to restrain an uncontrollable mating elephant Another problem facing the Park's breeding program is the rejection of the elephant calves by the mother cow. None of the elephants at the Park have seen a baby elephant before. An adult elephant might turn on its offspring because it does not recognize what it is. In 1982, the Park lost an African elephant calf after it was attacked by an adult in the herd. The adult simply did not recognize that the calf was of the same species. After Omar the Asian elephant was born, his mother, Connie, continually bit, kicked and attempted to step on him until Park officials were forced to separate them.

As curators of an endangered species, the Park is bound by conservation ethics to keep the Asian elephant gene pool alive and propagating. "A zoo can play a supporting role of maintaining a genetic pool," says Hanscom. "We should not be viewed as curators of a living museum, but as a strong conservation education tool." Hanscom is quick to point out that the lack of success in the Asian elephant breeding program seems to overshadow successes with other animals. In the course of 11 years, the Park produced 70 rare white rhinoceros offspring. 900 births or hatches each year place the sanctuary far above other zoological institutions in terms of breeding success. Hanscom says that because Asian elephants are so high profile, public scrutiny of their breeding program is constant, but he also stresses the Park's commitment to the preservation of elephants. "The danger is if we. alter our margins because we are driven by public opinion," he says.

But, when the book's shell has the autograph of Walt Disney the precedent is set for a fantastic story. 'The Beauty and the Beast,' opening nationwide Nov. 22, is a wonderfully animated, musically beautiful and amazing story. The story unfolds of a handsome man who is bound as a beast, played by Robby Benson. The only way to return himself to his original winsome self is to gain the love of a beautiful woman. Animator Glen Keane created a creature that is both hideous and ferocious, yet transforms into something beautiful as it is tamed by the charms of a woman. Keane combines a smorgasbord of creatures in his beast and adds a pinch of Disney magic to help his monster come alive. The beauty is Belle, played by Paige O'Hara. With her, the Disney animators drew an aesthetically alluring young woman with a voice that outshines the Him projector lights. Belle is not a run-of-the-mill storybook beauty. She would rather spend her time reading a book than entertaining the love of the obnoxious town hunk, Gaston. With Belle, Disney successfully brings a modernday woman who seeks intellectual fulfillment into a traditional format. Beauty and the beast meet each other through Belle's strange inventor father Maurice. Seeking shelter from a storm, Maurice finds himself trapped in the beast's castle. As a symbol of her daughterly love, Belle bargains with the beast to take her captive in exchange for her father's freedom. The monster agrees and the stage is set: the beast and the girl are left alone. Well almost. Disney adds a few extra characters to its saga. There's a candlestick, a clock, a tea pot and her tea cup. All of these objects, with the entire household furniture, are comically animated. Angela Lansbury ('Murder She Wrote') and David Ogden Stiers ('M*A*S*H') lend their voices to these animated objects. With the cast now introduced, the Disney crew of animators and writers work their magic and the beauty and the beast fall in love. A missing page in this production, however, is how the beast became the way he did. He must find love before a special rose wilts. Where the flower came from and who cast the spell is not answered in the show. Regardless, 'Beauty in the Beast' can be placed on the bookshelf along with the other classic animated feature films from Walt Disney. Its beauty will last longer than some of its predecessors'. Creating the characters for "Beauty and the Beast" was a thoughtful, timeconsuming process involving the collaborative efforts of may different people. In the final analysis, however, it is the supervising animator and his team that must bring those characters convincingly to life and provide the credibility, personality and entertainment that appears on the screen. Glen Keane was the supervising animator who designed and drew the beast and oversaw the animators who worked on him. For this 16-year Disney veteran, whose previous works range from animating the climatic bear fight in 'The Fox and the Hound' to Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid,' this latest assignment was easily the toughest "There's never been a character like him before," explains Keane, "so there was nothing to fall back on. I began creating the beast by figuring out who the character really is inside. H e's a guy trapped between two worlds. He's part animal and part human and h e's not comfortable with either. His design had to show the human side - heart, warmth and the ability to love. The ferocious, hideous animal side had to reflect his incredible power and agility. I filled my mind with all of these things and began processingitintoafinaldesign." In the end, Keane created his own hybrid beast taking the mane of a lion, the beard and head structure of a buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a wild boar, the heavily muscled brow of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf and the big bulky body of a bear. To all of the above, he added the most important ingredient - sincerity. "The eyes are the window to the soul," says Keane. "When Bellelooks into beast's eyes she must see his human heart and soul. She must see sincerity and believe that she can acSEE BEAST/PAGE 15 �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1991/PIONEER M usic C alendar Blur: Performs Nov. 13 at the Backdoor, SDSU. 278-TIXS Brooks & Dunn: Performs Nov. 23 at Sound FX, San Diego 560-8022/278-TIXS Common Sense: Performs Nov. 12 at the Belly Up, Solana Beach. 481 -9022/278-TIXS Dave Wakeling: Performs with International Beat Nov. 13 at the Belly Up, Solana Beach. 481-9022/278-TIXS Gang of Four: Performs Nov. 21 at Sound FX, San Diego. 5608022/278-TIXS Gyuto Tantric Choir: Listen to ancient Tibetan Ritual Chants Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. at the Camino Theatre, USD.

Most of the art defines expressions of feeling that relate to an artist, but these artists are the "dregs of the Earth," those who usually are not accepted in normal society. Most of the artwork expresses universal themes and feelings, but when we see who the artists are, we can also place their art in a specific category, that from prisoners. When you walk into the Boehm Gallery at Palomar College, you will have a choice of entering one of three rooms. The rooms directly to the left and right include the artwork by the prisoners. The room straight ahead contains a television set with a 53-minute video consisting of 17 short video pieces by prison inmates experimenting with another form of art, video production. The most poignant pieces of art are in the two rooms opposite each other. In the room to the right, some of the p rison w omen c reated " altered books," in which they change the looks of real books to suit their perception of "regular" books. Also there are painting, sculptures and drawings. One drawing, in particular, is worthy of inspection. Done in graphite by Mike Aguilar, an inmate, this drawing depicts Latin and Indian men and women, some just faces, some full figures. Interwoven with the human figures, clocks hands, guns and bars with a keyhole play with the imagination of the viewer. This drawing portrays power and defeat, hope and sadness, and the long wait for freedom all at the same time. In the other room, many portraits adorn the walls, but one picture captures the soul and mind. Called " I Stand Alone" by inmate Rickie Soria, this picture displays a large tree dominating the landscape. Without the leaves, orstrong branches, this tree lies bent and twisted, worn and defeated. Possibly the blue sky behind the tree depicts hope, but the tree itself proves that hope*is long gone. Only the determination to survive exists. Interestingly, these art pieces are very good. Most of the artists have captured their inner feelings and expressed them effectively on the canvas. None of the art pieces seems to comefromthe part of society in which they originate. Seeing these pictures and sculptures spawns a new awareness in the viewer for the prisoners. Even if they a re in prison, they can express themselves well through a rt However, after you begin the accept these people and their works, you notice an encased glass display s howing a nother c reative f orm: weapons.

This had to come across in our animation." Another thing that Keane strived for in his work was realism. "The character has to be r eal... he says. "In the scene where Belle refuses to come down for dinner and the beast loses his temper, the script called for him to run up the stairs in a rage. But an enraged animal would stamper on all fours and leapfromthe stairs to the landing, almost sailing through the air, which is the way we ended up doing i t" „ The animator c redits Robby Benson with providing the right inspiration for beast through his vocal interpretation. "He was the best actor that we heard by far and his performance really helped us get the emotional edge," says Keane.

College officials are hopeful that the six-week delay in construction, caused by the dispute between Louetto and Poss, won't compromise the opening of the main campus for the fall of 1992. " We're delighted at the prospect of seeing work resume on the project," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. " We've lost so much time that our ultimate opening schedule may be in d oubt...." Stacy said he is confident that Lusardi will "extend every effort to get construction moving." Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction said in an earlier interview that the phase one stage of work is a "critical path for the project." He said that delays, such as that created by the Louetto-Poss dispute, could start a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. Amado said the campus will open on time providing no more setbacks occur in the building process. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 5 Spanish book center t o boost world awareness for youth L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is scheduled to open at CSUSM on Dec. 6. The Center, the only one of its kind in the world, will contain books in Spanish for children and adolescents and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. Schon said the forthcoming facility is the only one in the world that collects all recent books in Spanish for children. The Library of Congress contains some as does the Library in Mexico City, she said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." ISABEL FOUNDING SCHON/ FACULTY "Having lived in Mexico, I was aware of how many children do not have access to books," Schon said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." Schon said that many of the books available express negative views and stereotype Hispanic culture. "Why not get positive things o f' both cultures," said Schon. "Many people don' t know or understand other groups. W e're basically all humans." Schon said that, with a growing Hispanic population in this country, cultural awareness needs to be expanded to increase production in the work place. She mentioned how little the United States understands its neighbors to the south. "Unfortunately, many Anglo and Hispanic students d on't realize how much joy and beauty there is in the Mexican people," SEE CENTER/PAGE 5 �MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUND Steps can be taken to prevent colds, flu With this column, I would like to dispel a few common misconceptions about the dreaded "Flu." Generally people use the word flu to describe a host of illnesses whose miseries range from nasal congestion to chest congestion and coughing to gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. True "Influenza" is one of the three types A, B, or C and is a highly contagious acute viral disease that spreads rapidly among large groups, especially in close environments like classrooms, work sites and dormitories. Actually it can spread rapidly CSUSM Professor Duff Brenna has found publishing success with his book, "The Book of Mamie." Brenna is currently working on another novel and hopes "Mamie" will be produced as a motion picture. across the population and in some years (usually even ten or so) it can affect 20 to 30 percent of the population. In 1918, there was a worldwide epidemic call a pandemic, that left 20 million people dead.

The vaccine is usually available in October or November because after vaccination ittakes two to eight weeks for antibodies to develop. As an aside, it is of interest to note that viruses travel around the globe from the far east to our west coast. By knowing the viruses in the far east that year, out public health officials develop a vaccine bases on those viruses that will reach the U.S. in the winter. The vaccine is usually about 75 percent effective in preventing the flu and may also reduce the severity of the flu. Anybody, for the most part, can get the vaccine, but some people definitely should be vaccinated. The groups that are considered high risk are people with chronic illness especially lung disease including asthma, people with depressed immunity, anyone 55-years-old or older, and people who are in the medical profession or are caretakers of high risk persons. Also, unlike the common cold and not widely known by the public, is the fact that Influenza A can be treated with a drug called Amantadine. It is most helpful if given as soon as possible after the onset of the flu. It frequently shortens the illness and reduces its severity. As opposed to the self-care recommended for managing the common cold, if one recognizes the early signs of Influenza, it is recommended to see your health care provider to determine if Amantadine would be of benefit. In future columns, I would like to respond to questions regarding your health.

" A lot of global understanding through reading of books can be communicated to the young. These discussions will supply understandings and misunderstandings of people," Schon said. The Center will be used as an educational institute for exposing teachers and librarians to Hispanic literature. Schon said the Center plans on holding an annual conference with authorities from Mexico and educators in the ñeld attending. "It* s important to get a date for the conference that is convenient for teachers and librarians," she said. Schon said that, because the Center is educational in nature, the costs will b e relatively low. Publishers interested in the project have sent a great majority of the books to the Center without charge. NEWS 5 "Once publishers understand the project, they send review copies," Schon stated. Schon, who was born in Mexico City, has worked with vendors in Spain and Latin America and has communicated with vendors in those countries. She said that growth for the Center's collection will be a continued requirement to insure obtaining the . most recent books. Dr. Lyndon W. Searfoss, professor of Reading and Library Science at Arizona State University, will speak at the Center* s opening about international language arts. New books will be displayed at the opening and a welcome by Dr. Bill Stacy, president of CSUSM, will be delivered. Schon said that, because of space constraints, attendance at the Center's December opening will be limited to 60 people. Visitors can browse through the collection and view publishers' displays of books. Refreshments will be served at the opening. The deadline for registering for the event is Nov. 21.

While walking into the class, my study partner summed it all up: "I can write my notes from beginning to end, but I doubt I can answer a question." The custom of using high-pressure, get-set-go evaluation is academia's last relic of the Dark Age. As my friend's statement i mp lies, t he process is so great to InstaRegurgitation, I am finding that I literally wash my memory of a subject at P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR the end of the latest t est The great educator Alfred North Whitehead has stated, "The really useful training yields a comprehension of a few general principles with a thorough grounding in the way they apply to a variety of concrete details." In other words, the best education is full of skill and process, not fact and definition. This begs the original question: Are midterm^and finals a test of our "comprehension of a few general principles?" Put differently, are we being better equipt to solve the problems of life and business because we could literally recompose our notes? I pray that we are never the better of beasts by memory alone. I am suggesting that a more effective evaluation of the attributes we aspire to teach is the less harried project approach. Particularly at a time when writing skills are enjoying unprecedented emphasis, the term paper is a welcome device. Likewise, group e fforts develop and test most of the important elements of the "right s tuff:" leadership, communication, compromise, negotiation, and consolidation. Unfortunately, the bulk of academia, staff and students, is geared against the planning arid prodding that are the hallmarks of the successful project or paper. Teachers and learners likewise lean to the test as the quickest, and so easiest, means to evaluate and finish. At the same time, we sacrifice each other on the pressure-point day. Can this carnage have a meaning I have missed in my confession of madness? Supposing for a moment that the test does measure a quality that the student knows. Given that it assesses abilities to collect and perform underpressure. Arguably, the search and pacing of a paper do these things and more, such as developing writing and organization skills. Certainly, the group project, while harder to grade, is instantly revealing of stars and missing fits. Admitting that the midterm alerts the professor to soft performers, the developmental nature of the term project allows forricherand more frequent interaction, and only more learning can come of this. Everyone's experience is enriched when the mentor stands by the learner's side. I 'm mad as hell. W e all lost out on that experience.

ANONYMOUS Who decides, whether there will be a war in the Persian Gulf? Is it our dynamic Congress which, at least constitutionally, is given the power? Or President Bush, vicariously elevating the testosterone by sending everyone in uniform, short of Campfire Girls, to the Saudi beach party? Is it Saddam Hussein, maligned by merely emulating past U.S. "actions" in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, the Philippines, et al? Or how about the Israelis performing their daily version of Krystall Nacht on Palestinian Arabs? The answer is None of the Above, because the real power of war and peace lies between your nose and chin. Since your impatience for riddles may exceed even mine, let me quickly get to the heart of the matter. Unless you're truly into sand sculpting, or testing dune buggies, you know the Arabian Peninsula holds absolutely no attraction for the average American except for the billions of gallons of crude oil upon which it sits. You also know that between 10 and 20 percent of the oil we consume comes from this region. So the choices appear to be either go to war to maintain our present standard of living, or cut down on our oil consumption. The present buildup in the Persian Gulf suggests that Bush thinks we prefer conflict over conservation. Perhaps that's because we associate cutbacks of food energy to each one calorie of fuel energy with pain. But I 'm now going to tell you how to invested." By my calculation, that's a 1200-toend America's dependence on foreign oil, 1 efficiency advantage.

When the rain falls on the feedlots, thousands of tons of excrement are washed into the nearestriver,polluting untold billions of gallons of precious drinking water, often upstream from cities and towns." Okay, so I ruined your appetite a little, but none of us has to become vegetarians to keep us out of war in the Mid East. A 25 percent cutback in meat consumption would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. In the event of a ground war with Iraq, American casualties alone are estimated to go as high as 100,000.

The choice is yours. ~ K EN CARTER/PIONEER College should have foreseen problems I t's hard to believe that CSUSM officials couldn't foresee the troubles that lay ahead when they contracted Louetto Construction Inc. to work on the new campus.

S TAFF E DITORIAL �8 E XPI j ORI PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1990 Locals, T Kiwis endure ruffian's sport JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER hey call themselves the "Guikha's." The Escondido c lub's name is British, descending from the Himalayan Tribesmen that comprise a reputable company in the British Army. Their game, however, is played not only in Britain, but is one of the top amateur sports in France, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The Gurkha's are only one team out of about 20 in Southern California that play the game of Rugby. Ray Steel, the Escondido Rugby Football Club director, said that Rugby is a misunderstood game. Some even say i t's hard to differentiate it from Australian Rules Football and a street brawl. He explained that Rugby originated from soccer, when a disenchanted player decided to change the rules. "He started running with the ball in his arms," said Steel, "and the other guys d idn't like that so they tackled him. "And that's how Rugby got started." he object of Rugby is similar to most field games: get the ball over the goal line. In this fast-paced game, however, there is no stopping. There is a moving line of scrimmage, established by the ball carrier. Because players cannot go in front of this line of scrimmage, the ball can only be passed laterally or backwards. Yardage is gained by running or kipking the ball. Even though a player is stopped by being tackled, the play doesn't end. Any player from either team can get the ball and continue. Another factor f or the continuous game is that no player can be replaced. The teams enter the field at the start of the game and only leave for a five minute half time break. Each half lasts 4 0 minutes. It w asn't until the 1960s that players were allowed to leave due to injuries. Before, players were required to continue playing regardless of pain. "You can only be replaced by injury," said John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach. "The same players go in and play the entire ' game." A team is allocated two replacements per game for injuries. Goals count as four-points, with the extra point scoring two. Both drop kicks and Penalty Kicks count as three-points. Australia New Zealand Wales America Britain So.

This continual play i s where Rugby got the impression of a street brawl, but Steel explained that i t's a gentle game.

"Being friends doesn't stop us from playing hard on the field, but afterwards we can talk about with the other guys and have a few beers or something. That's a large part of the game." On the Gurkha's recruitment flyers, it promotes friendship and a party after each practice and game. Steel explained that this is a great attribute, and exclusive to Rugby. "In football, especially, y ou're out there to kill the enemy and you certainly d on't want to socialize with them afterwards," Steel said. "In Rugby you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can kill you as well. So the game is not for people who like to go out and stick people.

John Hammond seemed to have a prepared speech as he addressed the Escondido Rugby Football Club with that statement. His confidence d idn't come from preparation, however, it came from experience. Hammond, also known as "Hammy" or "Hamster," i sn't a stranger to the game of Rugby. H e's coached for the last 20 years in a country where Rugby is the national sport: New Zealand. His love for the warm weather of Southern California brought him to Escondido, where h e's been contracted to coach their Rugby team, the Gurkha's.

A player His own team in Temuka, (below) dives for a pass during a recent rugby practice at San Marcos New Zealand, is proof of his desire for excellence.

Hammond said that Rugby is played by all ages in New Zealand, "right on down to the 8-year-olds." Hammond himself started playing the game when he was 10-years-old. "When you're a player, you become public property," Hammond said. "The town feels like they own you. "There's a lot of pride being a Rugby player, especially in a smaller community, the closeknit towns." Commitment is a big part of being a player. Although i t's not mandatory, players usually stay in with their original club and the game is passed down through the generations. " That's what makes it so strong," Hammond said.

And harken to my side, for I have something true to confide. Ladies fair and knights of old still engage in joyous revelry at the Camelot Inn in San Marcos. This traditional English pub abounds with olde world spirit and charm. Lively conversations liberally laced with the burr of the Scottish, the lilt of the Irish, or the "real English" of the Britains can be heard around the pub. To keep everyone in good cheer, Camelot has on tap a variety of British beer. Harp, Watney's, Guiness, John Courage, Bass, Newcastle, McEwan's, Blackthorn Cider and Carlsberg flow from the taps. They also have a fine variety of imported beers and Scotch. To ease the hunger pains, Camelot serves food with British names. Dinner takes on an interesting flair when the choice of entrees include: Toad in the Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie, Bangers Beans and Chips, and Cod in Hand. The prices are moderate, from $6.50 for Sheppard's Pie to $12.50 for Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding. Friday nights are special true, for the little people come and sing for you. The Sandlewoods perform Irish folk music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The entertainment is suitable for the whole family; with people singing along and occasionally dancing a jig. Friday nights are quite popular and, because reservations are not accepted, it is necessary to get there early. Darts are played by amateurs and pros alike. They even have team sports on Monday night. Like every good country pub, Camelot has dart games that are very serious. It has three dart boards and sponsors two dart teams in the National Dart Association's Monday night team competitions. The pub provides house darts for the friendly noncompetition games. Jeff Schwaia, a student from SDSU, and Randy Tate, a teacher from Carlsbad Junior High School, are organizing a dart team to start the new season competition in January. They practice on Tuesday nights and are looking for dart players to join their team, "The Blind Squirrels." Camelot is a place full of smiles, reminiscent of the British Isles. " It's not just the Brit Beer, but the food prepared like w e're used to," said Dr. McClellan, a native from Edinburgh, Scodand, when asked about Camelot Inn. He went on to say, "Camelot is a little bit of B ar R ules Although there is a party atmosphere, the Gurkhas have some rules to follow when they're at the Camelot Inn: NO F INGER-POINTING: The substitute, using an elbow to point, makes everyone look like birds.

NO EMPTY GLASSES ON TABLES: Filled ones only. home, and we can roll our Rs as long as we want." Come often, come alot, to enjoy the olde world charm at Camelot. Camelot Inn is open weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dining room is closed Monday night, but the pub is open for cheer and dart tournaments. Friday night is Irish folk night and on Saturday a variety of life music is offered. The pub is located between Highway 78 and restaurant row, at 887 W. San Marcos Blvd. �Rugby tests skill, endurance COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Hammond retired as a player and became a coach in 1968. His record for the past 20 years makes him proud. "In the senior level, I 've had seven championship wins," he said. " I've had a couple others at a lower level too." Hammond's United States counterpart, the Gurkha's, i sn't too far from what he l eft "There's a good core of dedicated players who will learn and improve their game," Hammond said. Playing with the "All American" members, Hammond stressed the need for "overseaers" on the Escondido team. "For a team to develop, they need some overseaer back and some overseaer forwards," Hammond said in reference to player positions. ' They know when to take those chances, more than the All Americans." This need is filled by the c lub's director, Ray Steel, who is also from New Zealand, and four players, two from Europe and two from South Africa. "That's the way we like i t." In one tournament game, only four foreigners are allowed to play. Hammond's talk certainly sets him off as an overseaer, but his words have more than j ust an accent. There are slang words f or just about everything in Rugby, from All American, referring to the locals; Kiwi's, New Zealand natives; and Palmies, Europeans. Some terms are easy to pick up on, others are harder to define. Another speech characteristic about Hammond is his stuttering when he gets excited. He brought Speaking the language of those who play Rugby is just about as difficult as learning the rules of the game. Here's a guide that might help: ALL AMERICANS: United States natives that play the game well, but lack the born-experience to play Rugby. KIWIS: Native to New Zealand, where Rugby is the national sport. PALMIES: Europeans. Rugby is popular in Wales, Britain and in France. YARKIES: Foreigners that hale from South Africa. OVERSEAERS: All of the above with the exception of All Americans. OLD BOYS: Players fresh out of high school. RUGBY: The ruffian's game played by gentlemen. this up when he first addressed the Gurkha's, and said he uses it to his advantage. "Some players need to hear things more than once, so I accomplish this in one sentence," Hammond said. His contract is ova* in December; his stay here in the States will only last two months due to the Escondido C lub's limited ability to support him. But he says he will be back. If a full time coaching j ob comes up, Hammond said he will be happy to move t o the states permanently. I had been playing for about five, or maybe ten minutes. The players let me get used to the field, my teammates, and the object of the game. After this brief introductory period, I was passed the pigskin ball. And I ran, not because it was the object of the game, but I ran for my life. I was engaged in the game of Rugby. Unlike previous Thrill Seekers, I had entered an adventure that is riddled with cliches like, "Give ' Blood: Play Rugby." This sport has the reputation of looking like a street brawl. But, in the short time I had on the field with the Gurkha's, the team of the Escondido Rugby Football Club, I learned the game is more than just blood and guts. The object is simple: get the ball to the goal. The rules that have to be followed in the attempt of making that score are a bit confusing. In comparison, try teaching American Football to the Japanese. The game is strenuous. In a normal game, play is divided into two, 40-minute halves. The game I played was about 15-minutes long and was a warm-up practice, so there was no tackling (thank God). But in that short period of time, the unfit bones began to hurt and the skins became damp with sweat. I played the left end of the scrimmage line. The player next to me was experienced and a returning member to the club. He attempted to teach me the rules as he contributed a great deal to the action. SEEKERS We were to stay behind the man with the ball. That sounded easy, but the carrier kept moving and would throw it without warning. Rugby i sn't like football. There is a line of scrimmage, but the ball can be thrown to another player at any time. And because your teammates have to stay behind the ball, you can only throw it backwards or sideways. The effect of gaining yardage by running makes for an exciting game. By the time I had become comfortable with the game, it was that time in practice to get into shape. Fitness is a big part of the game. John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach, stresses more fitness than actual game strategies. With the 80-minute nonstop games, however, I can understand his concerns. I joined in with the Gurkha's in their fitness exercises. After all, I was seeking a thrill and I had to experience both the good and the bad. But after an hour of a practice game and exercises, I bowed out and retired to my reporters note pad. I decided to stick to writing and leave the Rugby training to the professionals. With drills that would make a marine sweat, the Gurkha's spent the next half of practice pushing, pulling, stretching, and bringing pain to every muscle in their bodies. The coach ensured them that the pain would lessen and the drills would increase as the preseason comes to a close. The game and fitness is only half of the Rugby sport. The other part comes after the work is completed. The Escondido Club members retire to a local bar, where they get their reputation of having great parties. Despite the bruhaha at that night's gathering, they say the parties after the tournament are more intense. Here, there are the standard party rules. No finger-pointing, drink with your left hand only, no saying "drink," "drank," or "drunk" and so forth. Craig, the only part of his name I could understand, explained more rules associated with Rugbyparties. He said you c an't put your glass down empty and you c an't show your teeth when laughing. Hammond demonstrated this rule when he removed his dentures and laughed. These gatherings bring out the greatest attribute in Rugby: friends. Sportsmanship is almost a requirement and friendship is one of the benefits. This part of the game outweighs the blood and guts p art Rugby is a wear and tear sport, but the training is paid off in fast, exciting games and a collection of "mates."

J ENNY EAGLE/PIONEER P EGGY OSTEBLOH/PIONEER With Christmas just around the corner, authors are taking advantage of the season with new releases. Here, Pioneer reviews the latest books from Fiction to Humor, and gives a few sneak previews. Fiction • Anne Rice, known for her vampire chronicles, released "The Witching Hour" in October. This book follows witchcraft through four centuries, keeping the occult genre for which she is most famous. The story starts out in modern time with arescue at sea. This sets a man and woman out to solve the mystery of her past, which involves ancestry and witches and his unwelcome new ability. The book moves from modern New Orleans and San Francisco to long ago Europe. It twists and turns through good verses evil and life against death. • The long awaited fourth book in the Earth's Children series by Jean Avel has also arrived. ' The Plains of Passage" was long overdue and five years in the making. W e follow Ayla, the heroine introduced in "The Cian of the Cave Bear," and Jondalar as they travel Ice Age Europe. • Jackie Collins has also made a sequel to her books "Chances" and SEE BOOKS/PAGE 13 Southwestern decor permeates Boll Weevil D EBBIE D UFFY and M ICHELLE DUFFY/PIONEER Upon entering Boll Weevil, we are enveloped by the tantalizing smell of hamburgers and french fires. Because we are asked to seat ourselves, we decided to sit at a large, southern-decorated table rather than the many booths lining the walls and windows. As I looked around, I saw white walls decorated with cowboy memorabilia including spurs and saddles. Also decorating the walls were washboards, plows, skulls, and pans. Along the rear wall, separated by a trellis from the dining area, were t wo pool tables. One could play pool for fifty cents a game. Also, a laser disc juke box was ready to play anything from oldies to the most modern of music. Next to the juke box was an old fashioned soda fountain where one could order anything on the menu. Troy, our waiter, introduced us to the most famous item on the menu, O LLEGIATE the half-pound steerburger, served with a condiment tray, which consists of pickles, red onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustards and mustard relish. We ordered the steerburger, milk shakes, french fries and onion rings; however, the menu also included cheeseburgers, bar-b-que burgers, hot O URMET dogs, chicken and fish and chips. Also on the menu were brews and wine. Everything on the menu was available for take-out Neither of us was able to finish our hamburger because of the large portions. The onion rings were delicious and the frenchfrieswere crispy. We truly enjoyed our dinner, and each of us carried doggie bags home. The Boll Weevil we visited is located in Oceanside. There are Boll % Weevils in San Marcos and Escondido, as well as 17 other locations throughout the county. They are open everyday: Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight W e enjoyed our visit to Boll Weevil and encourage you to visit Boll Weevil to taste for yourself their famous half-pound steerburger. �'Jacob's Ladder' climbs to terrifying heights Through confusing and disturbing images, Adrian Lyne communicates clear ideas about life after death in his latest e ffort 4 Jacob's Ladder/ When we first meet Jacob, he is a New York postal worker coming home from the late shift.

Then the scenes change and we see Jacob in adifferent life. He's still living with his wife and his son Gabe is still alive. I t's an idyllic existence with no demons or insanity. Then i t's back to Jacob's original life. He learns that the army did do a drug experiment on his company using a drug called "the ladder." The drug has an obvious disastrous effect on the men. To reveal what happens next would ruin the ending, but suffice it to say that the preceding hour and a half of the movie comes into focus. Lyne seems to make a fair living at disturbing stories.

CALENDAR/PAGE 1 4 Major medical center planned J ONATHAN. YOUNG/PIONEER Scripps Memorial Hospitals is currently negotiating^ to purchase at least two parcels to secure land needed to construct a major medical complex near the permanent campus site of Cal State San Marcos. Scripps Memorial closed escrow in September on 4.5 acres, making it thé second parcel of property acquired this year.. The recentparcel, located near the corner of Echo Lane and Discovery Street, was acquired from A.B. Farm, Inc. The vacant tractis contiguous with the 31.5 acres purchased by Scripps Memorial from Golden Net Worth and other parties last June. Long-term plans call for the medical center to comprise 60 to 70 acres. Plans for the site include the construction of a major inpatient and outpatient medical center to meet the medical and health care needs of San Diego's growing North County area. Although Cal State San Marcos has not been approached,a spokesman for Scripps Memorial said a relationship between the new neighbors could be a possibility. "... we definitely feel that the university in the community will be an asset," said Michael Dabney, Coordinator o f Media Relations. "I'm sure that will be discussed at a later date. Right now the priority is to get the specifications confirmed with the city." "Our relationship with the city of San Marcos on this matter has been positive from the start, and we look forward to the continuance of this relationship as we go about meeting the medical needs of the community," said Lauren Blagg, executive vice president of Scripps Memorial Hospitals. Although details for the medical complex have not yet been finalized, the first phase of the project, the construction of an outpatient facility and medical offices, could begin by next year. The second phase, the construction of a hospital, could be the year after next. "Scripps Memorial is evaluating specific health care needs of the citizens of the San Marcos area in order to provide therightcombination if services," said Blagg, adding that the building plan is expected to be carrier out in phases aver 20 to 25 years depending on community need. "It would be a outpatient and inpatient treatment facility," said Dabney. "A research facility is not in the picture at this time. "Down the road there will be other options on what we can do with the facility. Right now we're shooting for 60 to 70 acres. So we're leavingour options open for that development. "As we develop the project further, (a relationship with Cal S tate San Marcos) is certainly an option for discussion," Dabney said. In August, 1987, Scripps Memorial exercised its option to purchase 70 acres of property in Carlsbad for a North County hospital. Scripps Memorial has reassessed its plans, however, and detennined that the San Marcos site offers more effective opportunities.

NOTABLE BOOK DISPLAY CONTINUES Dr. Carey Wall, department chair of English at San Diego State University, is featured in this month's notable book display in the Library. The purpose of the display is to feature works that have influenced the lives of prominent persons in the educational community. Wall's books will be displayed through the end of the semester, Holiday gift drive begins Christmas. For most of the community it is a time for giving and sharing, joy and caring. But for some, the holiday season brings sorrow and depression. Recognizing the needs of those in the area that have no money to afford a holiday celebration, officials at Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State North County have started a food and gift drive. Proceeds from the drive will go to needy families in the San Marcos area. "Maybe (the drive) will give them the idea that the university is not foreign," said Sandra Punch, Coordinator of Student Services at CSUSM and SDSU North County. "The drive reaches out to the community and not just those who are college bound." Punch said the drive started out as "just an idea" four years ago. "As time went on we tried to make it a viable project," Punch said. Together with Janice Sinclair, in Student Services, and Deborah Coronado, in Personnel Services, Punch is setting up gift-wrapped donation boxes throughout campus where students, faculty and administration can deposit nonperishable food and gifts. Boxes will be placed in the Student Lounge, the Student Services Building, Building 125, Building 820 and the Library. Cash donations can be brought to brought to Punch, Sinclair or Coronado. Punch said the group is looking for those who have no avenues for help during the holiday season. Those who are unaware of the programs offered by the state for help or are too proud to take advantage Of them are prime candidates f or, donations. The family chosen last year had lost their eldest son in Mexico. The niother and father had both been laid off from their HAPPENINGS jobs and all their available income was spent transporting the son's body back home. The family was in need of a working stove and the children had no chance of getting gifts for Christmas. As a result of the drive, enough money was raised to buy the family a brand new stove. The family was also given a swing set, a 10-speed bicycle, Barbie dolls, food and clothing—all of which was donated by participants in the drive. 'The families are surprised because they expect less than they get," said Punch. Do to the growing success of the program, Punch said more families will be chosen to receive gifts this year than before. Needy families are found through HOLIDAY local churches and schools. "We go to schools where they see what families have need." Punch said that, through daily interactions, schools have personal contact with those in need. Once prospective families-have been found, Punch contacts them on the telephone to see if they would be interested in receiving a donation. "We leave it up to the family," said Punch. "We've never been turned down y et" The names and locations of the family are kept confidential. Information about what they need is posted on the donation boxes to help donors select the most needed gifts. Apart from nonperishable foods, Punch said soaps, detergents, paper products and clothing also make good gifts. "It's a good time of the year to fcl£ar out pour closets. Jeans jackets and sticks are much needed items," she said. In addition to the gift drive, Punch said she is also looking for Christmas tree donors. On Nov. 30 a tree decorating party will be held in the Student Lounge. Students can bring ornaments to place on the trees. The decorated trees will be transported to needy families who otherwise would not have a tree. "During the holidays it's buy, buy, buy for family and friends," said Punch. "It's a good time to think of families and children who need things." PREGNANT TEENS GET HELP Student organizes support group L ARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER Trying to gain an education can be a frustrating and difficult experience. Those in Charolette Bell's Students at Risk: Psychological and Educational Perspectives class see just how difficult learning can be. For her class, Bell requires that students spend a minimum of three hours per week helping troubled children transcend their problems and turn toward education. v Some students work* with kids on drugs or children of alcoholic families; others help those with learning disabilities. Anita Carter helps pregnant teens and young mothers learn how to get the most of their education while tending to a new life. "The group I chose are teenage moms who may not complete their education," says Carta*. "My number one purpose is for kids to get credits to finish high school through independent study." For three day? a week, Carter spends timeat Foothills Continuation School in San Marcos. She works .with young womenfrom15-18 years of age who have children or are expecting. Carter selected this group of students because she, like many of her students, is expecting a child. With the help of Janet Stoddard, who heads the program at Foothill, Carter hopes to create an environment that is conducive for study for the young mothers. "The fact that I'm pregnant brings k idsoutAlotof conversation isabout my baby," Carter says. She points out that many of the students have added incentive to complete their education because they "have another mouth to feed." To bring the students role models, Carter has organized a "shadow day" where women holding profes3ional occupations lead the young mothers girpugh a day in their lives. Carter found professionals such as bankers and attorneys to take on the kic(s for a day. On Dec. 10, these professionals will take the teens to their businesses to see what a life nurtured by education can bring. Carter found most of the sponsors through referrals from other businesspeople. She said when she tried to reach them "cold" her success was minimal. "A couple of professions had to turn it down because it would conflict with patient confidentiality," cites Carter. According to Carter, there are 13 to IS students in the program. She is confident that enough professionals will come forward to accommodate them. Atfirst,Carter gave each student a card to fill out, stating the kinds of professions which interest them. Some were quiet and reluctant to fill the cards out, but eventually Carter obtained good response.

Fees will also go toward the building of a Student Union complex on campus. According to Zomalt, the task force hopes to create a form of government that will serve as an educational model as well as a governmental system. "The members of the Task Force not only viewed the Associated Students asva governing body, but as a learning experience," he said. With a committee-management type of government, students serving in the Associated Student Government will be able to utilize their experience in their future places of employment Many corporations used this type of management system. Zomalt said he hopes the delay of the formation of the student government will bring new students into the systerp. He said many wish ^ tó bfecbníé in Vólv&'but dóif t Mve the time presently to fit student government into their schedules. "We're still getting in survey forms from the beginning of the semester," he said. "Maybe students will say next semester that 'I can fit it into my schedule."' With a near doubling of the population in spring, Zomalt expects new students to also take part in the planning stages. He hopes those on the task forces will continue their momentum during the semester break. "There's enough stuff on the table for the (Task Force) students to mull over the interim," he said. In the spring task force members will continue on where they left off in the fall. Most of what was decided during this semester will serve as a broad base for future work. "By next fall, the fully functional Associated Student will be implemented," Zomalt said. According to Zomalt, the work completed is far behind what was originally expected. He said that nobody was aware of the amount of work to be done. "In good faith, the students came together to give it a shot, but they weren't that experienced. I appreciate the work of this group and what they have done," he said. "We all underestimated the magnitude of this job." » g �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1990/PIONEER Clubs and Organizations "The work done by the Clubs and Organizations Subcommittee will probably be among the most unappreciated, but most vital," Zomalt said. Throughout the semester, the task force has developed an outline describing elements necessary forla student handbook. The handbook will present codes of action and conduct for students at CSUSM to follow. The subcommittee divided its general statements and definitions outline into three parts. The first part is an overview of activities and services that will be available for students in the coming years. It includes the advantages of being a Chartered Campus Organization and it will describe how student fees and activities will be implemented. In the second part of the handbook, campus policies and regulations will be put forth. Students will have policies regarding drugs, gambling harassment and abusive behavior among others that will affect the entire student population. "The work this task force does will concern all student organizations," Zomalt said. The third part will deal with the implementation of student discipline. Student policies on academic dishonesty, grade policies and disciplinary matters will be threshed out for the general population. According to Zomalt, the group found the work load to be far greater than originally anticipated. They sent for policies from other universities to aid them in developing a sophisticated, yet readable student handbook. The stack of documents they collected grew to about six inches tall. Zomalt said the outline represents a significant amount of work by the task force. In order to draft policies from the general structure that was created, the subcommittee must delve deeply into the policies of other state universities. "It turned out to be a much greater task than we originally thought," Zomalt said.

The slightly perturbed male voice was mentioning the most misquoted quote of all time. With jingoistic rhetoricfromWashington and Baghdad currently burning a hole the size of Kuwait in the ozone layer, the speaker was nothing, if not timely. The quote he mentioned was "My country right or wrong." I had always thought that was the full quote. The radio voice quickly set me straight. The entire quotation is: "My country P I O N E E R S T A F F WRITER right or wrong. *If right, to keep it right; if wrong, to put it right" ^ I suddenly wondered how many people had died because they had blindly lived by a misquotation, and more importantly, how many young men and woman may soon be sent home in zip-lock bags because of continued ignorance of the proper form of the quotation? When I got home, I tried to find out who had originally spoken these oft misquoted words. I was unsuccessful, but I did come across a number of others I'd like to share. I hope you find these words as pertinent today as they must have been when originally spoken. • How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against the enemy. — Nietzche • To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman. — Santayana • Three-quarters of a soldier's life is spent aimlessly waiting about — Rosenstock-Huessy • The martial character cannot prevail in a whole people but by the diminution of all other virtues. — Dr. Johnson • War can protect; it cannot create. - Whitehead • The third part of an army must be destroyed, before a good one can be made out of i t —Halifax • Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. —Wellington • In order to have good soldiers, a nation must be always at war. —Napoleon • Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues. — Hobbes •In time of war, the loudest patriots are the greatest profiteers. — Bebel • Liberty means responsibility.

A THOUGHT; " It's a good thing we Qjon't get all the government we pay for." WILL ROGERS State universities should ax lower-division curriculum The higher education system in California is monumental to a democratic society's commitment to education. It is certainly one of the most influential institutions in the world. The Master Plan for California collegiate education spells out a huge network of junior colleges, state universities, and the University of California (UC). Each division is distinguished by their place on the spectrum from teaching school to research institute. More specifically, the UC system is to nearly monopolize academic research, the community colleges are dedicated to broad student services, and the state universities are expected to walk a .middle road combining these contrary features. It is time to revisit the state university's mandate to examine if this contradiction in purpose is still plausible. Clearly, the state university circuit is the least precisely defined in mission. By nature it is distinguished from the junior college as baccalaureate and master degree-granting institutions, so most of the faculty are doctors (PhD). Community colleges issue only the perfunctory associate degree, and master degree holders dominate the faculty. Similarly, the state university is not like the University of California. It is not designed or equipped to be a research institute on that scale. Research is so heartily persued at UC, it is not unusual for the undergraduate to be taught several courses by a professor's assistant, thereby freeing up the scholar for the lab or library. On the other hand, the pressure on state university professors to "stay current in their field's literature" (meaning publish or perish) is in- DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR tense, as in the UC. Likewise, the demands to retain students, serve the community, and teach well, virtually duplicates the visibility of a community college professor. Evidently, the missions of the state university are mutually exclusive in their current formulation. In order to abilitate the state universities to meet all of our expectations, it may be time to shuffle the assignments of services. It is an era demanding a greater degree of specialty by each division of California's higher education network. The arguments for relinquishing lower division courses at state universities, and thereby making them the privy of the community colleges, are convincing. The junior college provides better services to the student just entering the foray, while the state university best hosts the upper classperson who is prepared for a more mature and challenging academic environment. Specifically, the junior college can concentrate on those services most needed by the freshperson: study-skills, academic and career counseling, and vocational skills. It is an excellent time for the high-school graduate to discover and master the complexities of higher academia. At the same time, the re-entering student in his/her late twenties is invited to sample courses and brush-up on contemporaneous thinking. For both groups, the stage is embryonic due to the faculty's emphasis on teaching and counseling, rather than obscure research. The state university, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for the seasoned pupil to stretch both mental capacity and ability. By freeing the state university professor from theduldrumsof lower-division instruction,more energy can be dedicated to academic research. Since teaching would be focused on upperdivision courses, which tend to be more specialized, and less remedial, it is likely that more of the research can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this scenario, both the student and the teacher are beneficiaries. Finally, the state's higher education system will also be a benefactor in the coming age of specialization. There is an economics-of-scale that intuitively dictates that one institution cannot "do it all." By recognizing the distinctive qualities of lower and upper division students, the menu of services can be tuned to each population1 s needs with less duplication of expenses. That's good news at a time of multi-billion dollar deficits. Likewise, a less burdened state university professor, given a real chance to meet publication pressure, is a greater asset to everyone. �8 EXPLORI Bottles of varietals tempt local visitors at the gift shop of the Callaway Vineyard and Winery in Temecula.

Thefirstwinery that I visited fit in with my sleepy-valley image, in that I drove on a dirt road through rows of grape vines to a wooden barn. Inside were stacks of barrels, both stainless steel and oaken, with the tasting bar tucked into the corner. Hart Winery is fam;iy owned and I was served an excellent assortment of wines by Bill Hart, the son of the founder, Travis Hart In 1973 Travis (Joe) Hart, a Physical Oceanographer at Scripps Institute, purchased 12 acres. Over the next several years he and his family planted the acreage with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Grapes. In 1980 he bottled his first 350 cases of wine. Today the winery is buying local grapes and is bottling 6,500 cases. The Hart winery is open Saturdays for tasting from 11 to 4. Its wines include mostly dry white wines with a few sweater varieties. The prices run $6.50 for a bottle of Chenin Blanc to $12 for their Merlot. Be sure to try their Chardonnay! Traveling east on Rancho California Rd. I drove by several elegant Mediterranean-sty lebuildings. Thinking it was an exclusive country club I actually passed the entrance when it dawned on me that Culbertson was a name of a wine. To my joy this cosmopolitan winery made only champagnes. They charge $5.00 a person to sample three champagnes: Cuvee Rouge (a sparkling red Pinot Noir), Cuvée de Frontignan (an sparkling blend of Muscat and Pinot Blanc) and NV Brut (a classic brut Champagne). The John Culbertson Winery is located on 20 acres of vineyard. Tours are available every two hoursfrom10 to 4 on Sat and Sun. (for the next five weeks tours will be closed on Sat. because of production). The Café Champagne is a gourmet cafe designed to complement the famous Culbertson Champagnes. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 1988,twoofCulbertson'schampagnes were served at the inaugural ball for President Bush and it has been chosen to be the champagne of the 1991 Super Bowl. The gift shop has a variety of 12 different champagnes and some interesting and unusual gift ideas. Almost across the street from Culbertson Winery is the Callaway Winery. Callaway is the largest winery, bottling 280,000 cases of white wine a year. The original vineyard was started by Ely Callaway in 1969 on 105 acres. In 1982 Hiram t alker Temecula Valley Wines Blanc De Blanc Made with Chardonnay grapes, this wine has a dry, plean bouquet. Bianc De Blancs have higher yeast contact than other whites so have a slightly "yeasty" flavor. It is best served as an aperitif.

Fumé Blanc Chenin Blanc The Chenin Blanc grapes give this versatile white wine a clean and refreshing flavor. It is excellent with cheeses, veal or poultry. White Riesling Floral aromas and natural sweetness give this wine a remarkably drinkable characteristic. Wine aficionados and laymen alike will love this vintage with fruits, picnics and spicy dishes. Carmine Made with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine is very dry with a subtle, complexity and richness ideal for grilled seafood and entrées in herb or cream sauces. Fumé Blancs are aged in oak barrels rather than steel tanks. A deep red wine with a rich ruby color, this vintage is scented with a black cherry and berry aroma. A very sweet and drinkable wine that is great with beef or heavy dishes. Sauvignon Blanc This deep red wine has a slight peppery flavor that softens with aging. It is a full-bodied varietal that is great with steaks or Italian food. This very dry white wine is perfect for fish and poultry or as an aperitif.

It offers tours and tasting daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Two dollars is charged for the tasting and you can take home your tasting glass. Callaway Winery offers only white wines, and prices run from $5.50 for its Spring Wine to $16.95 for the Blanc de Blanc. Be sure to try the White Riesling! Just down Rancho California Rd. is Mount Palomar Winery. This winery is tucked among the grape vines and nestled under California Oaks. Their idyllic setting is enhanced by the charming family atmosphere. MountPalomar Winery was started by John Poole in 1969 on 225 acres. He retired from KBIG radio station, which he founded, on Catalina Island. Mr. Poole brought vintner Joe Cherpin from Cucamunga Valley, to design the winery and lay out the grape fields. In 1975, MountPalomar produced its first bottles of commercial wine. It now bottles 15,000 cases with hopes of expanding to 25,000 cases in the near future. In 1993 the winery plans to premier its first red wine, SangioiieseRed. "It's a nice way to spend a weekend: drinking MountPalomar Champagne, eating fine cheese, good bread and smoked oysters," said Dale Bergeron, a visitor from El Toro. The winery provides a picnic area among the Oaks for the leisurely sipping of its fine wines. The winery is still family owned, with Peter and Bridget Poole making most of the decisions/ This family atmosphere radiates throughout the winery. Mount Palomar Winery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for tours and tasting. The gift shop has some lovely gift ideas. The tasting is free except for the Chardonnay, which costs 25 centsa taste. I really likedthe Chardonnay, it,s well worth the quarter tasting fee! A little farther east on Rancho California Rd. lies Maurice Carrie Winery.

These older plants produce a desired grape, bred for centuries by winemakers to yield the best tasting wines. By grafting the newer vines to the old root stocks, growers are able to add longevity to the vine stock. Natural grass and weeds are allowed to thrive between the vines to bring beneficial insects to eat those that chew away at grapes and their leaves. The Callaway vineyard has built roosts for hawks and owls on their vine structures to curb the rodent population and the winery breeds wasps to further eliminate pests. This natural approach to pest control works amazingly well. In its 21year existence, the vineyard has used pesticides only three times, and then only during periods that would not harm the grapes. Strict ordinances, regulating the usage of pesticides, protect all the local vineyards from inadvertent contamination. At Callaway, the vines are grown 42 inches above the ground to facilitate grape gathering for workers. The vineyard also found that jthis height, 10 inches higher than at other wineries, provided better air circulation EXPLORE under the vines, resulting in healthier fruit To conserve water, Callaway uses drip spigots to nourish the plants. The spigots also prevent the roots of the vinesfromrotting and mildewing. Toward the end of August the harvest begins. For three weeks the valley is flooded with workers, who franLOS ANGELES 9C MILES tically pick grapes at their sweetest, most tenderripeness. Atno other time of the year are grapes harvested. The grapes are transported to a crusher, which smashes 40 tons of grapes to liquid and pulp in six minutes.

To eliminate such a flavor, winemakers age the product in oak barrels. Callaway has 360 of the barrels, which hold a total of 10,000 gallons of wine. BarrelsfromFrance, costing $420 each, are used rather than American barrels because they produce a better flavor. American barrels give a cedar flavor to the wine. The age of the barrel also contributes to the taste. Vintages aged in year-old barrels, for instance, will have a stronger flavor than those aged infive-year-oldbarrels. The wine is then ready to be bottled and sent to distributors. Other local wineries use similar processes but on a much smaller scale. The John Piconi Winery , just east of Callaway vineyards, produces only 6,000 cases of wine each year. 3REÄSE MONKEY 10 MINUTE LUBE & OIL PROS WITH COUPON $20.99 plus tax Reg. $25.99 10-Minute LUBE & OIL CHANGE • Change oil • Check/fill battery fluid • Check wiper b lades • Check/fin windshield w asher » Lubricate c hassis • Check tire p ressure • Check/fill differential • Check/fill transmission fluid • Vacuum Interior • Check/fin power steering • Check/fill brake fluid • Wash windows •Air f iler c heck •pSr • Check a rti-ireeze » Replace oB (liter g EXPIRES 12/31/90 2 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS Maximum P rotection Against Vlacoalty an Thermal Breakdown 10W30 20W50 10W4030WL ESCONDIDO 649 N.

Here serene rolling hills are covered with grape vines and dotted with European-style wineries. The wineries offer wine tasting and a chance to meet new people. In the sky, hot air balloons float lazily over the calm countryside. The best part about the wineries is their accessibility to the general population. At only 35 minutes from San Diego County, the wineries make for an affordable and relaxing getaway. All 11 wineries in the Temecula Valley are clustered east of Interstate 15 and have a microclimate that is warmed in the day by desert winds and cooled at night with ocean breezes filtered in through the Rainbow Gap, a natural breezeway through the hills.. The Hart Winery, located at 32580 Rancho California Road, is contained in a quaint reddish barn-like building that has a slight European flair. Owner Joe Hart is a veteran among local vintners who specializes in making dry wines and a few slightly sweeter selections. Wine tasting is offered by amid the winery's vats and barrels, it is open for tours on weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekdays by appointment. For more information call (714) 676-6300. Traveling east down Rancho California Rd., one can find Southern California's largest premium winery at Callaway Vineyard and Winery. Callaway makes only white wines and offers the most complete and informative tour of the valley. Special events throughout the year include vineyard walks and cooking classes. For information call (714) 676-4001. Across from Callaway Vineyards is the Culbertson Winery. This distinctive structure is the home of one of the area's finest restaurant Making only champagne, tasting at the winery is more expensive than at other wineries. For $5 visitors can try three different types of the company's champagnes. A gorgeous stone facade and waterfall provide an elegant atmosphere for tours and tasting. For information call (714) 6990099. A smaller, more personal winery is the John Piconi Vineyard and Winery, located at 33410 Rancho California Rd. This small edifice is reminiscent of a Franciscan mission, with a relaxed and friendly tasting bar. The Winery's proprietor, Ben Drake has been farming and growing grapesforyears and can frequently be found at the tasting bar pouring his vintages. Tours are given on weekends during the winery's hours of 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information call (714) 676-5400. Just east of the John Piconi Vineyards is the Clos du Muriel Winery.

The treat was so unusual, we needed coaching on how to eat them by the waitress. We took a spring roll, added ground red peppers, celantro and Szeehwan sauce and wrapped the works in a lettuce leaf. Few treats are as scrumptious as this. For a main course, my partners ordered a French Trench, which contains a wonderfully large amount of roast beef and Jack cheese on a French roll. The package is served with a side of Au Jus and horseradish sauce. I splitaChilean Blackened Chicken Sandwich with one of my companions. The course contains a tender breastof chicken sprinkled with cajun sauce. Lettuce, tomatoes, jack cheese and green chiles are added to the chicken and served on sourdough bread.

With 200 students voting in the Oct 7 and 8 poll, Measure B, which approved the fee, passed by a landslide 73 percent of the vote. An enabling measure allowing the A.S. to collect the imposed fee also was . adopted with 8 2 percent of the student vote. Along with the f ee measures* Measure C, which established principles of remunerations for A.S. Council members, also passed. The measure squeezed by with a 5 2 percent "yes" vote. "We are surprised and pleased by the results,"said A.S. President JoseChapman. "It proves that all the work on the elections did not g o for naught." • • ? Last April, students narrowly approved a $15 A.S. membership fee, but failed to pass the enabling measure allowing the organization to collect the charge. As a result, the A.S. turned to the University Foundation for a $12,900 loan to attain funds. Last week's victory will give the A.S. a steady source of income and provide funds to repay the Foundation's loan. "We were certain to make sure A and B passed," Chapman said. He indicated that translations for the ballot measures that were printed on the ballot helped students understand for what they were voting. The translations provided pro and con explanations of the ballot measures in terms students could comprehend.

Measure C stands for council 'conflict' When the Associated Student Council put a measure on last week's ballot asking for the principle of receiving rerttUnerations, they had no idea that it would cause a stir. Measure C, which passed by a narrow margin of six votes, asked students to apprcfve the idea of establishing and awarding scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other remunerations to A.S. officers and Council members. "I was surprised at the reaction to the measure since it didn't establish anything but a principle," said Vicc President of Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt. He said the proposition did not commit the student body to any type of expenditure of funds. But other students saw the measure as an attempt by the A.S. Council to award themselves monetary compensation, for their work. In a letter to Pioneer, CSUSM student William Christensen noted, "The A.S. is quickly imitating the politicians in Washington and Sacramento who give themselves pay raises, bonuses and fringe benefits." Barbara Pender, editor of the campus yearbook, said that students serving on the A.S. Council should do so without pay. She said she believes the work should be performèd on a voluntary basis only. A.S. President Jose Chapman said the A.S. did not actively campaign for the measure because measures A and B establishing student fees were the "thrust" of the election.

Panic disorder can be treated if diagnosed quickly, properly Recently, The National Institutes o f Health c onvened a c onsensus conference on a very common disorder and have agreed (which i s not always the case) that it i s very responsive to treatment. Panic disorder is defined as discrete periods o f intense fear or discomfort that are not triggered by severe anxiety-producing stimulus. Most people with the disorder believe they are having a heart attack or some type of severe impending doom without any obvious precipitating event. Therefore, panic disorder is frequently misdiagnosed and consequently not properly treated. Although r ecognized s ince the 1960s, known to occur in families, and being maybe as common as 1 in 75 people, panic disorder i s s o often misdiagnosed that patients frequently have seen 10 or more doctors before they are properly diagnosed. Patients need to have at least four of the following symptoms for the diagnosis: shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations (increased heart beat), trembling or shakings sweating, choking, chest pain, abdominal distress, numbness, fear o f dying, and w e vjiew f HEALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRIN OLDS fear of going crazy or losing control. A person who has four or more panic attacks in one month i s considered to have panic disorder. Some may have isolated attacks and may not require treatment. Others may have infrequent attacks but live in constant fear o f attacks and would possibly benefit from treatment. What is exciting is that there is consensus that treatment really works. Antidepressant medications, other medications and cognitive-behavior therapies have been found to be effective. Combinations of the therapies are being researched. Fortunately, people w ho have been rendered dysfunctional by this disorder are now being helped with current therapy.

If you're a student at Cal State San Marcos, chanccs are the person sitting next to you in class is areentry woman. Reentry women comprise onethird of the student population at CSUSM. Many times, they face different obstacles than their younger classmatesand have differing reasons for seeking a degree. "I sec reentry as a long-term trend," says Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services. "Many people switch focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen education as the key to reentering the job market or transitioning from one career to another." Kuchler says that CSUSM is a "testimony of the number of students that are not of traditional age." She indicates that the focus of this older student body is on life-long learning. Reentry i s a grey term. Students in this category range from 25-35 years old and through their 70s. These students are sometimes called "adult learners" or "non-traditional age students." The average age of a student at CSUSM i s 2 9, four years greater than the national average. Many reentry students have families and jobs to tend to outside of their studies. Time management, childcare, elder care, fears about skill level and unreal expectations are some of the common dilemmas of reentry women. "Balancing time i s the biggest challenge," comments CSUSM reentry student Tanis Brown. Student Donna Hinke agrees, "My struggle is how to juggle family responsibilities with study and class time." Kuchler says, "Deep down inside, women f eel they need to do it all. They just can't do it all at the same level." To help provide support for those issues of letting g o and o f lowering expectations, Kuchler developed the W omen's I nformation N etwork (WIN). "Ideally," s ays Kuchler, "this educational should involve the entire family or significant others who initially may be very supportive of the decision to return to school. However, when reality sets in and the student is nolongeravailabletohelpmeetneeds, . there i s sometimes anger and frustration to deal with." One of WIN's functions i s to help them battle those frustrations. But, because many reentry students have so many other responsibilities, "I see reentry as a long-term trend. Many people switch focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen education as the key to reentering the job market or transitioning from one career to another." SANDY KUCHLER/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR providing a support group can be difficult. Kuchler says that many reentry women c ome to campus for just one class. For that reason, she says she is interested in hearing from women who may be interested in meeting at a time other than the scheduled meetings at noon on Tuesdays in the Student Lounge. Kuchler was a reentry woman herself, s o she i s sympathetic to the time demands on reentry women. "If a group of reentry women in one class wants to contact me, I'd love to get together and meet them," she says. Patti Elenz-Martin, a counselor in Counseling Services, also sees the reentry woman as plagued by business and responsibilities. "Sometimes hectic schedules can make students feel isolated or disconnected. I want to be sensitive to their schedules," says Elenz-Martin. "Some students may feel they don't have any options because they aren't aware of the choices or resources that may be available to them. Often, they have s o many classmates, they don't take time for themselves." Elenz-Martin says providing resources is a two-way street She is open to suggestions from students o f resources needed and workshops they would like to s ee offered. To provide information in a f lexible manner, Counseling Services and Career Planning offers a variety o f on-going workshops on topics like stress management, resume writing and an orientation to the SIGI computer programs for interest evaluation. Audio and video cassettes and pamphlets are also available to students. "Childcare i s another area of need on the agenda for the new facilities," Kuchler says. "Because o f tight state regulations, it is impossible to handle a childcare facility on our current campus." A childcare co-op is being formed and interested students should sign up in the Associated Students O ffice. Faculty members are receptive to the trend of older students. Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor of English, estimates that nearly 9 0 percent of his students are o f non-tradi- tional age. • "They havea stronger commitment to their studies, largely due to their l ife experiences which allow them to s ee a clear association between their goals, their experience and their university education," says Mendoza. �8 P IONEEB /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 199!

Ami OUR VIEWS No soldier shall tered in any hous Columbus was important despite incorrect ideology There I was, sitting in the Student Lounge, eavesdropping as usual. Over there were these two grade school instructors discussing how to teach Christopher Columbus' discovery to their children. —Well, let's see, he discovered America. —Sure, but he was a bigot! —But nobody had ever discovered America, except maybe Leif Erikson. —He was a bigot too! —I think it's pretty important that he discovered A merica... — ... and started 500 years of oppression! You want to glorify a monster like that? — No, I guess you're right. We'll let the kids figure out for themselves who discovered America. Now, what about Lincoln Of course, the conversation may not have gone exactly as depicted, but I really wasn't taking notes. What I did note was the final insistence from both grade school teachers that Columbus be deglorified because of his belief in Manifest Destiny. Back then (a half a millennium ago) countries thought that they had a God-givenrightto claim territories. As a result, whole nations of people., like the American Indians, suffered from colonization and invasion. Obviously, with today'scrazc for political correctness, Manifest 'Destiny is hardlyan embraced doctrine. But, in the time of Columbus it was. When I was a child I revelled in stories of the age of exploration. Travelers like Magellan and Drake wererightup there with Captain Kirk in their quests for the unknown. Easily the most excellent explorer of them all was Columbus himself. It is difficult to understand all of the hullabaloo over Measure C in last week's Associated Students elections The measure seemed simple enough at first—asking students to approve theprinciple for awarding A.S. Council members stipends, grants and other forms of aid for work done in governmental meetings. Yet some saw the measure as a way for the A.S. to w easel i ts greedy fingers into the pocketbooks of s tarving s tudents. S ome state that the A .S. s hould serve without e xpecting or requesting STAFF EDITORIAL monetary awards. For children, d owngrading h istorical f igures, s uch a s Columbus, because they were trapped in time LARRY BOISJOLIE SEtSE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF fal and social ideologies than our own, is counterproductive. It takes away their opportunity to cling to the ambitions of historical mentors. Just because Thomas Jefferson possessed slaves, for instance, doesn'tmean that he disregarded humanrights.JohnF. Kennedy's accomplishments cannot be ignored just because he slept with Marilyn Monroe. Bashing Columbus for beliefs that were accepted during his lifetime 4 99 years ago serves no purpose but to promote political correctness today. Who can say how the explorer would have gone about the business of discovering America in today 's society? History teaches us many lessons on many different levels. Our philosophies on how to treat others are directly gauged and formed by actions in the past but s o is the knowledge of the world around US'. Columbus taught us that there are always new horizons to be discovered and explored. Let's examine the man for that accomplishment and not stoop to mindless folly by nitpicking at his beliefs. Examining other A.S. organizations, it becomes readily apparent that such expectations are not realistic. Most A.S. council members throughout the Cal State system receive stipends from the student body. These stipends are paid for out o f student fees for the immense amount of time each member expends while serving on the council. Measure C does not award stipends to A.S. Council, it simply asked if students believe the principle of scholarships or grant-in-aid for council members is ethically correct. Why shouldn't it be? With a population that consists of one-third reentry women, CSUSM has a student constituency that is pressed for time and money. Many students have families and must hold a job while continuing studies. Taking time to serve on an A.S. Council can put an expensive squeeze on the pocketbook and limit income. The A.S. president's stipend of $ 3,600is barely a drop in the bucket for the time expended for the job. Most other CSUs award their A S . presidents stipends that are 10 to 2 0 times higher than CSUSM's. In addition, due to the small size of CSUSM and the newness of the student government, a greater time commitment for the president i s needed than at other schools. Many times he/she must serve on committees that are vacant from lack o f student participation. This time commitment does not allow the A.S. president to hold a work experience job apart from his/her other duties. Is token compensation too much to ask for such a sacrifice? When students are elected to A.S. positions, they are not elected into a priesthood where money and time must be sacrificedfor service. They areelectedintoacommunity that needs their services. In this case, thecommunity-at-large (students) should be receptive to the fact that fulfilling that need is costing A.S. members personally. �G overnor's veto of AB 101 j ustified: gay rights should stay home f rom work Pai State San Marcos IONEER C San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 E ditor-in-Chief L arry B oisjolie G raphics D irector J onathan Y oung A dvertising D irector: K aren W hitfield E ntertainment E ditor: D ebbie D uffy P hoto E ditor: K athy S ullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley, Wendy Williams CONTRIBUTORS: Kim Courtney, Pamela Farrel, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1991, by P IONEER.

It was a place where men fought with swords and chivalry was not dead. FAIRE were treated to swordplay, medieval stage presentations, arts and crafts and authentic foodstuffs from the era. The faire was put on by the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, to encourage and support the continued growth and educational activities in the North County area. It was only last weekend.

This is the quest of Don Quixote. fill j 111*?? Living in his own world, Quixote creates a w mmmmmmm^m society where he fights his adversaries and protects his friends. Whatever Quixote believes becomes reality to him. "Man of La Mancha," playing at the Civic Theatre in San Diego, recreates the spirit of Quixote with eloquent songs and superb acting. Performed on an elaborate stage, "Man of La Mancha" wanders through the life of Cervantes and his character, Don Quixote. The opening scene presents Cervantes, exquisitely performed by David Holliday (who also5 performs as .Quixote), as he and his servant are thrust into a prison. In order to avoid the other prisoners' abuse, Cervantes reveals a story about a traveling man, Quixote, and his trusty friend, Sancho, whimsically performed by Darryl Ferrera. All the prisoners within the prison interact in Cervantes' story by becoming characters for the telling of the story. Within Cervantes' story, Quixote encounters many different people, one of which he falls in love with and calls his "Dulcinea."

Aldonza probes Sancho about his obedience to Quixote, and he lovingly sings, "I really like K ATHY S ULLIVAN/PION EEK The crowd cheers as their favorite knight preforms acts o f heroism in a tournament of jousting and sword fighting. Color, pageantry, elegant horsemanship, good food and a great time await visitors to M e d i e ^ Ti ib$sv in Buen&J*ark. Upon arrival, each guest is given a colored crown So wear. This crown admits them as part of the retinue of their champion knight. The blue crowns sit in the blue section and cheer loudly for the blue knight as he represents them during the ceremonial procession and games. The Count and Countess of Perelada, who preside over the games and banquet, greet the arriving guests. Their costumes are exquisite as arc their manners. The next adventure takes the guests into a hall of torture. Here over 30 authentic reproductions of instruments of torture and ridicule used during the Middle Ages are displayed. In this room are devices that were commonly found in Spanish dungeons and jails. Items of cruelty like the "Rack" and the "Interrogation Chair" to items o f humiliation like "Scolds Bride:" and "The stock and Pillories." Although the room is very interesting the additional $2 charged for the tour seems excessive. Trumpeters of the realm announce the opening of the Grand Ceremonial Arena. Guests with theircolored crowns are escorted to their seats in the matching colorcoated pavilion-Serfs and wenches await the guests and begin serving Elegant displays of horsemanship highlight the pre-show activities at Medieval Times'Dinner and Tournament. Head trainer Victor de Lara is seen here demonstrating one of the specal jumps the horses perform during the show. the four course banquet In keeping with tradition, hands and fingers are the order of the day. And it is surprising just how great food tastes when one isn't encumbered with silverware. As guests enjoy their feast, colorfully attired knights and squires parade a team of championship Arabian horses. The feats of horsemanship are superb and the knights are true virtuosos of lance and javelin. After these warm-up games the countess gives knights flowers to present to a lady in his cheering sections. By the time the jousting begins the audience is intuned to their knights and to dismembering their whole chicken with eager enthusiasm, Many a cheer is given with chicken bones raised high. The jousting begins on horseback and continues on the arena floor with combatants using heavy SEE MANCHA/PAGE12 swords, battle axes and maces. As the audience cheers and boos the knights enact battles of old. The whole evening is one of fun and frolic. The acting, costumes, horses are superior: the food is good, the service terrific and the show entertaining. The knights are handsome warriors with nofonly tremendous accuracy with lances and swords but with beautiful and controlled horsemanship. "I started as a squire at Medieval Times," said Knight Michael D empscy." After about six months of hard work and long, daily training sessions, I finally achieved knighthood.".

The newsroom's system will be linked to the Times Advocate's system by a communication line. • An internship program that would give student journalists the opportunity to work at a "real life" newspaper. • Distribution of the university newspaper. • A possible job placement networking with the Times Advocate and its properties. CSUSM What Cal State San Marcos is requested to offer in return: • Paid circulation of the Times Advocate on the Cal State San Marocs campus. The Times Advocate will be packaged with the university newspaper. • Printing of the university newspaper at the Times Advocate facility. • Access to a pool of talented students and CSUSM faculty.

This link would be uniquely exclusive to the San Maims university newspaper. "You can't get any better (system) at any other college newspaper," said Mittman.

"We haven't, arty actual efforts into the business efforts of the deal " said Stacy. If accepted, Armstrong said the newsroom system may not be initially installed in its entirety, "We'll do what is necessary to launch this operation," he said, Armstrong stated hiscompany will meet its obligations as outlined to the proposal, and pointed out die actual installation process is still to be determined. "The system we proposed is sufficient to supporta weekly newspaper,0 said Armstrong.

Student starts campus club Fulfilling the college's goal to obtain an international perspective, 11 students atCal State San Marcos have banded together to form Rotaract, a club with a mission to "install friendship and mutual understanding between races of the world." Rotaract, a multinational organization under the Rotary club, can be found in over 100 countries with ova* 4,000 charters, says Nnambdi Nnoli, the club's organizer. Nnoli, a CSUSM student, is a native of Nigeria who came to America to live with his family. He says in Nigeria alone there are 232 Rotaract charters. The United States only has 91-95 Rotaract charters. "Rotaract is very big and powerful in Nigeria," Nnoli says. He adds that the current chairman of Rotary International is now trying establish more clubs in the U.S. He says Rotary organs in Nigeria helped to raise funds for polio vaccinations and other public services. The club could bring career speakers to campus while establishing scholarships and participating in community projects, says Nnoli. In the past three meetings, Rotaract members discussed career opportunities and gave career presentations. Even though the college has not as Nnambdi Nnoli, points to a flyer asking for members to his newly-formed Rotaract club. Nnoli says his club will promote international awareness. of yet formally accepted the club, Nnoli says he is receiving verbal encouragement from Sandy Kuchler, assistant to the dean of Student Services. Before being formally received by the college, Rotaract must draw up a formal constitution and outline its goals. With its establishment could còme funding from the university. "We need funding to get supplies, get career sfjgpkers, start community projects and start scholarships," says Nnoli. "We need to be functional and resourceful." Even though the club has formally participated in meetings, Nnoli says they need greater membership to be formally accepted as a Rotaract charter by the Rotary Club. Nnoli points out the club needs from IS to 25 members to be formally recognized as a charter. Nnoli says he first began thinking about establishing aRotaractclub last spring when he received information SEE CLUB/PAGE 5 Library-building; long task for Reid LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER MIKE WOFFORD/JAZZ PIANIST C ONCERT S ERIES C ONTINUES Critically acclaimed jazz pianist, Mike Wofford, will perform in a rare solo concert Sunday, O ct 21 in the Library.

When she came to Cal State San Marcos in September of 1989, Marion Reid was faced with the immense task of starting a college research library, that would grow well into the next century. It is a chore of Herculean proportions. Choosing volumes needed for an academic core is an arduous, complicated process. 'We not only want to provide a good core, but buy informational services from other places,"Reid says. To help begin the process of selecting a solid foundation of volumes for an academic core, Reid turned to the work of Melvin J. Voigt. Voigt was instrumental in establishing the libraries at the University of California at Irvine, Santa Cruz and San Diego. The Association of College Research Libraries refined and published Voigt's findings in a book entitled, "Books for College Libraries." The book lists the top 50,000 volumes needed to start an academic core. Even though the book is in its third printing, Reid says many of the vol- college library opens in 1992. She also says the list does not encompass every academic discipline. According to Reid, some academic disciplines have accreditation agencies that list appropriate books for certain specialities. She says CSUSM will draw from these sources as well as Voigt's findings. Book vendors are also used to secure titles for college library topics. "We're building a profile of how books for a college library should look," says Reid. This year the college budget allots $2.1 million in funding for the acquisition of books for the library. Reid says next year's budget should be a similar amount. "It may sound like a large figure, but it isn't in terms of starting an opening day collection," says Reid. According to Reid, the average cost for a domestic title is $46 per book. Reference books, science and art titles usually run more adds Reid. To help in the process of figuring out how and where to purchase books, the university has selected the services of the Oregon-based Academic Book Center. The 15-year-old com- pany was selected from a group of 11 vendors vying for the job. Earlier this year, the college purchased a 13,000 volume collection from the library of Charles D. Tensley. Tensley was a Professor of Philosophy, English and Chemistry at the University of Illinois. "He was a bookman who collected for substance, not rarity," comments Reid. She considers the$100,000price tag for the books to be a good deal. "If you can get $10 or less for a book, i t's a bargain," she says. Not all of the books in the Tensley collection can be used, however. Some have become too brittle with age to place on the library's shelves. Reid says the college also received a 1,500 to 3,000 volume collection from the library of T. Walter Walbank. Walbank was a professor emeritus at the University of Southern California who collected books on non-American history. The collection was offered to other universities with already established libraries, but was turned down because they already had many of the books contained in the collection.

The Times Advotion of the university newspaper/Times cate's properties include the Teme- cula Californian and the Fallbrook Enterprise. Another matter of concern for the university is the length of the alliance between the two newspapers. In its proposal, the Times Advocate classified the relationship between themselves and the college as "long term." The deal offers no indication of a future termination date of the alliance. Armstrong said at the council meeting that he holds some concerns that the college might back out of the deal after its implementation. "The only thing we're concerned about is that the relationship would end prematurely," he said. In such a case, according to Armstrong, the college might have to pay the Times Advocate for the cost of the newsroom. University Council members seemed enthused about the proposal, but conceded that the matter needed looking into. L IBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Until a library opens in 1992, volumes will be held in a storage and processing facility located on campus. Already the facility contains 1,059 boxes of books waiting to be sorted. Reid says the process of building a library will take decades. She speculates that the 400,000-square-foot library in CSUSM's future might contain as many as two million volumes. "Academic libraries traditionally don't stop growing," she says. Apartfromobtaining volumes, Reid is also searching for ways to build an information network with other libraries and services. Already an inter-library loan program has been implemented, allowing students to gain access to books and journals contained in other librar- ies. The college is also looking into a program, offered by the Colorado Alliance ofResearch Libraries, where students can gain indexes to over 10,000research journals. Reid says in January of next year, the service will make the full text of the journals available. Reid is also looking to build an expansive, state-of-the-art data base. Through computers, students will be able to access in minutes, information that could take hours to find. Students will not be geographically excluded from using the library. "Students, who would like to access our data base from home, could call up on the phone," Reid says. CSUSM is currently in the process of seeking librarians to assist Reid in her task. Reid says she hopes the three new librarians will arrive at the college sometime later this year, but sees January of next year as a more realistic date.

A new phrase, "safe sex" has been introduced into our vocabulary. The phrase should actually be "safer sex" because, as in birth control, only abstinence is 100 percent safe. Playing it safe doesn't mean eliminating sexual activity from your life. It means self-respect and respect for your partner, talking about sex and talking honestly about your respective histories. It means knowing how to protect yourself and taking precautions every time. It's what you do, not who you are, that creates a risk for sexually transmitted disease and you can protect yourself by the precautions you take. STDs are spread by infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites, moving from one person to another. Most travel only in certain body fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal secretions. Very few STDs can be transmitted in saliva or by skin-to-skin contact. Some STDs spread more easily than others. You never become immune to STDs. You can get reinfected and can have more than one STD at that same time. Some STDs show few or no symptoms; many people are infected and spread the microorganisms without knowing it. Since there is no guarantee of "safe sex" outside of sexual abstinence or a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner, to lessen one's risk reduce the number of sex- CLUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 on CSUSM.

He serves as a senator in Palomar's Associated Student Government and is a member of the Student Governmental Organization Task Force at CSUSM.

Activities that involve direct exposure to a partner's semen, vaginal secretions or blood are more risky. For example, anal intercourse is associated with high risk of HIV infection. Vaginal intercourse can transmit many STDs, including HIV, from a man to a woman or a woman to a man. Oral sex can transmit some other STDs, but is considered moderately risky. Intimate kissing is low-risk and fantasy, touching massage and masturbation generally pose no risk. When using condoms, to be effective they must be Latex, stay in place during sexual activity, not break during use and be removed correctly. Only water-based lubricants should be used since Vaseline and various lotions and oils weaken condoms. Lubricants or condoms that contain the spermicide called nonoxynol-9 provide additional protection against HIV infection. Lastly, sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs, like driving under the influence, is never safe.

But if a journalist is going to earn her bread by covering professional football perhaps she'd better take her blinders off. And I don't just mean in the locker room. Professional football is a thriving multi-billion-dollar e ntertainment industry. It has gained its financial stature for a number of reasons ( few of them pretty C O N T R I B U T I N G WRITER to look at if viewed too closely). But the main one is the symbiotic and often incestuous relationship between professional sports and both print and electronic media. For both the owners and the teams and the network CEOs, the bottom line is the bottom line. That's why you'll never see anyone like Edward R. Murrow reporting on football. If a controversy arises,—at least one that might decrease sales or viewer share — damage containment becomes the name of the game. An expendable player, coach, manager and, once in a red-white-and-blue moon, an owner will be sacrificed on the electronic altar to divert public scrutiny of the sport as a whole. Pete Rose, George Steinbrenner and Jimmy the Greek will be forever thrown up to the public as proof that professional sports won't tolerate gambling, corruption or racism. Just don't look too closely at the miniscule graduation rates of black and white college athletes who've gambled away their chance at an education for a shot at the pros. Football, like any other second-wave industry, feeds on its newspaper's printing, it could very well reap from the university young. It builds its bottom line on the back of its workers. far more profits. With the help of the media, it holds up the Joe Montanas and But the biggest cost to the college could be to the integrity of Walter Paytons as examples of what's possible for future a fledgling journalism department.

K EN C ARTER Times Advocate apple of a deal requires a brighter polishing It's like an apple being dangled before the donkey. As long as the donkey goes for the apple, the apple's owner can get him to do anything he wants. In this case, the apple of a deal the Times Advocate is offering CSUSM is full of worms. What looks like a shiny package (a state-of-the-art newsroom, a dynamic internship program, an unique educational alliance) could really be a rotten illusion. The recent offer by the Times Advocate to CSUSM to form a "state-of-the-art newsroom" looks aesthetically like a generous "gift;" but is, in reality a lucrative business deal from which the North County newspaper stands to profit greatly. The cost to the college for such a "gift" may be paid for both monetarily and with the integrity of a journalistic program. The proposal stipulates that the Times Advocate be distributed on the San Marcos campus, but not free of charge. A mandatory $24-$34 per-student charge for subscriptions to the Times Advocate would be implemented. The "gift" quickly becomes an investment In three years, the Times Advocate would not only break even on their initial $80,000+ investment, they stand to gain substantially from the deal at the University's expense. The anticipated growth of CSUS M gives the Times Advocate an assured subscribership that will grow exponentially with the years. Crunching the numbers, it's easy to see that this "gift" yields a tidy profit for its bearer.

A THOUGHT; "Instead of feeding the scaps to my old hound, I'll get rid of the dog and eat the scraps myself." M IKE R OYKO/ C HICAGO T RIBUNE The other day I went searching for a new National Cause. Sadly, I came up empty. Our country's latest attempts at stirring up a broad-based political quorum-the War on Drugs and the MidEast Occupation-have fizzled. It's time to admit why America's momentum is staggering, and how wecan regain the greatness that spills from the wake of a worthy and welltuned National Cause. The War on Drugs is the Bush Administration's initial candidate for a viable National Cause. Arguably, Mr. Bush has picked a good target. Solving the drug crises is, after all, a cause for everyone's well being. Furthermore, no one stands to profit monetarily from stopping the contraband trade; just the opposite, obviously. Unfortunately, our government cannot "just say ' no'" withastraightface.Thelegal trades of cigarettes and alcohol are still far greater sources of health destructiveness than illegal drugs. Their duplicitous condemnation-and subsequent use as tax-revenue generators--is justified by the very entrenchment we are told to loathe (remember Prohibition?). Furthermore, the tobacco industry-as an agricultural interest- is actually subsidized with your tax dollars. Rhetoric rings hollow in the face of hypocrisy. How does Uncle Sam expect to convert the estimated millions of middle-American casual drug users into nay-sayers while talking out of both sides of his mouth? Since this is the only "hot" domestic attempt at a National Cause offered by the current Administration, our foreign policy became my next arena to search. While Saddam Hussein is disdained by everyone, few are ready to lose their children for this cause. Only the most myopic fringe of conservatism still endorses the fallacy that American foreign policy is a police-action paving the way to a world of benevolent Democracies. Quite the opposite, the best foreign policy recognizes the impossibility of exporting our DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR sophisticated political process, and merely attempts instead to favorably influence events that impinge on our national interest Hence, never mind that the emirates of Kuwait were reputedly oppressive; they were friendly to the United States. If you still doubt this assessment, just reflect on the bungling, inconsistent, and moralistic bamboozlement of the Jimmy Carter Doctrine. In the case of protecting Kuwait, our "cause" is a steady oil supply and a stable Middle East. Not much to stir God-blessed, patriotic pride over, just good-old pragmatism. Certainly not the makings here of a lasting and historically significant National Cause. Time to ask, then, "What composes a great National Cause?" Firstly to insure its nobility and sturdiness, there can be no governmentoriginated hypocrisy, as isriddlingour War on Drugs. Indeed, a divided house cannot stand. Secondly, patriotism is not created by the National Cause. In fact the relationship is the opposite: many will boldly die to stop Hitler because the ties to democratic preservation are intrinsic. On the other hand, the increasing public perception that we are still too dependent on fossil fuels and foreign oil—despite a plethora of previous crises and warnings—undermines the drive to stop Iraq at any c ost Simply put, we aren't out to stop aggression per se, and when Mr. Bush says we are, his toes had better be crossed.

Furthermore, no one could resist beating Communism at something technological. Socially, the benefit stream was widespread: consumerism, medicine, education, industry, and the military all received dividends. There was plenty to feel proud about; God had blessed America, and now we shared the heavens. Today America is more realistic about its limitations. The populace is a post-Vietnam, post-Watergate,post-S & L scandal generation. Cynicism is sensible, even healthy. Why is the rhetoric coming out of Washington still so pandering?

Surprisingly, Mr. Bush has done little to fulfill his campaign promise to be the "Education President" This is disappointing in lightof the appropriateness of reinvigorating our entire school system to achieve widely held national goals.

Our condemnation that this life is terminal is moot; it was terminal already, in all but the rarest cases.

Likewise, a highly educated general populace is more productive, and that translates to a stronger economy. Inventiveness and ingenuity are thechildren of the stimulated mind.

But Billie Moran looked beneath the fallen leaves to find more valuable gold in the mountain itself. Moran was the first to stake a gold claim in Julian in 1872. Armed with a pickax and a shovel he dug into the mountain, hoping to strike a lucky vein of gold. His legacy (known as the High Peak and Eagle mines) still exists today, although the mines themselves have long been shut down. The mines were closed during World War II after the government proclaimed them "unnecessary industry ."Today they are open to public tours so visitors can see for themselves how prospectors mined the precious element years ago. Contrary to popular belief, gold does not run in copious veins throughout a mountain. It'is not easily spotted or retrieved. Gold deposits are usually found within veins of quartz. According to Harlan Nelson, one of the proprietors of the mine today, only one ounce of gold (about the size of a sugar cube) can be obtained from a full ton of quartz-rich rock. "Few people struck it rich in gold mines," said Nelson. "Most barely made enough to stay alive." The Eagle mine was dug perpendicular to gold veins, with its opening at the foot of the mountain. Using picks and shovels, workers were only able to move five feet per day. Tunnels were dug upward so gravity would assist in clearing debris. When a vein was intersected, miners would then dig a "drift tunnel," a shaft which followed the vein itself, until the vein wasexhausted. Rock extracted from the vein would then be carted out and processed to separate the gold from useless rock. As they moved deeper into the mountain, workers used explosives to burrow further into the earth. Explosives inSEE MINES/PAGE 9 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990 �Pine Hills Lodge has rustic style KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER M INES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 creased the progress of the miners by six feet per day. In the days ofMoran, fire blasting was used to bore into the belly of the mountain. To fire blast, miners heated the rock until it was r edhot They then poured cold water onto the rock, causing an explosion. Workers then cleared the debris and continued on. Later homemade dynamite, made from broom handles and gunpowder, was inserted into hand-chiseled holes in the mine's walls. This method was replaced in the early 1900s with the introduction of air drills. To avoid the impact of the blasting, miners created cubby holes, known as jump holes, in the cavernous passageways. After igniting the charge, workers had only a matter of minutes to di ve into the safety of these jump holes in the lightless tunnels. Nelson said that after the Civil War, thousands of prospectors arrived to California to strike it rich. Few found enough gold to fill their teeth. They worked the crowded tunnels of the mines in teams of two to increase production. Rock that contained no gold was used to fill empty space within the mines themselves. This eliminated the extra effort involved with carting the debris to the surface. As the miners bored deeper into the mountain, any kind of vision became impossible. Miners mounted candles on felt hats and carried handheld lanterns to shed light on the black tunnels. "Sounds get amplified in absolute darkness," said Nelson. "First you hear a ringing sound; then you hear your heartbeat; then you can hear the blood rushing through your veins." Nelson said that the breeze blowing into the tunnels from the entrance would blow the candles out; so miners had to feel their ways into the tunnel in absolute darkness until the breeze subsided. The Eagle and High Peak mines together have 11 different mining levels. A main shaft, which delved 450 feet into the earth, connected all the levels. The lower five levels of the mine dig beneath the natural water D ARLA LYNN/PIONEER An ore mill, brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, stands as a monument to the gold mining legacy of North County's past. level of the e§jth and are now completely flooded. Ore would be pulled up the main shaft by an engine-powered hoist in buckets. "Because it was so dark, miners had to develop a system of communication. When it was time to raise the bucket, workers would ring a bell once. Two rings would indicate that the bucket was being lowered," Nelson said. v Ore was then loaded into carts and transported out for separation. Each cart held one complete ton of ore and the miners were able to extract as many as 10 carts of ore a day. With only 10 ounces of gold per day coming from the mines, workers attracted to the task by 'gold fever' found themselves disappointed. "Occasionally ore would be found that contained more gold powder than usual. These finds were called glory holes," Nelson said. After leaving the mountain, the ore was transported to a mill for separation. According to co-proprietor Karl Nelson, the technology for separating gold was brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, who were attracted to the mines by gold fever. The ore was placed into a mill which pulverized the rock into a fine d ust The crushed product was then placed on a copper table. The table was covered with a film of mercury, whiph absorbed the powdered gold. The mercury-gold mixture, or emalgum, was then heated until the mercury evaporated from the solution. Not all the gold could be claimed on the copper table, however. The remainder of the ore was then put on a shaker table. The shaker table separated the remainder of the gold by gravity. The heavier element would settle toward the bottom of the table where it could be easily retrieved. In later years, chemicals wpre used to separate gold from the raw ore. During World War II, the government closed down all gold mines in the United States proclaiming them a nonessential industry to the war effort. Workers moved from mining and refining gold to industries conducive to the war effort. After the war, mine owners found the cost of reopening those mines to be too prohibitive so most were closed down. The process of tunnel-mining for gold no longer exists in the United States. Strip mining has now replaced the ore retrieving process used by prospectors of old. Whereas one mountain constituted a claim in the 1800s, now whole ranges of mountains are leveled in search of gold. "The old-fashioned way was much more environmentally safe than the new way "saidKarl Nelson "but that's progress." Whispering pines, chattering squirrels, and nostalgic atmosphere permeate the Pine Hills Lodge of Julian. The two-story, wooden lodge was built in 1912 by Real Estate tycoons to attract buyers for the adjacent Pine Hills subdivision. Pine Hills Lodge is located just one mile west of Julian on Highway 78 and then 2 1/2 miles south on Pine Hills Road. Its location allows guests easy access to all the happenings around Julian, yet it is far enough away to be able to take full advantage of the rejuvenating serenity that a visit to the mountain demands. Originally the outlying cabins were built as tree houses. Unfortunately, the trees grew but the stairways didn't. The cabins, while not firmly attached to the ground, radiate the warmth and charm one would expect from secluded cabins in tHe woods. There are 12 rboms in five cabins. Some are singles with an old fashioned claw-foot tub, while others are two room suites boasting native stone fireplaces. The lodge itself has six additional rooms. These rooms are available on weekends only, and are Euro- pean style (bath and toilet, down the hall, last door on the left). The rooms are priced from $50 to $75 on the weekdays and $50 to $125 on the weekends. The lodge itself is saturated with rustic charm. From the huge native stonefireplacein the lobby to the slightly shabby leather couches in the western bar, Pine Hills Lodge radiates a quiet, friendly atmosphere. The dining room, which opens on the lobby, and its massive fireplace, has two walls of windows which allow a lovely tree top vista. There is a homey atmosphere not at all like the hustle and bustle of the city's fine restaurants. Hickory Smoked BarbecueBaby Pork Back Ribs are a specialty of the house. The average dinner costs around $ 13. They are also famous for their $11.95 Sunday Brunch with an extensive selection of both breakfast and dinner entrees, salads and fruits. "It's sleepy here during the week but quite chaotic during the weekends," said Dave Goodman, who along with his wife Donna bought the Pine Hills Lodge in 1979.

The plane's propellor whirs into motion and pushes forward, pulling the non-engined craft into the sky. In no time the glider is exploring the wild, blue yonder with nothing but a cushion of air suspending it in the sky. The thrill seeking experience has begun. Gliding in the Northeast County skies is easy, enjoyable and relatively inexpensive. All that is needed toenjoy this soaring experience is a camera and a strong spirit of adventure. Thrill Seekers found a glider port just 30 miles north of Julian outside the little town of Warner Hot Springs. For $34 a ticket, we sailed for 20 minutes to new heights of adventure. We climbed aboard a glider equipped to handle two passengers. The seats appeared cramped, but were cushioned and comfortable. Nylon straps covering our shoulders and laps held us firmly in place. Our pilot, Lee Rabeneau, had been flying gliders for the past nine years and assured us he knew what he was doing. In its 31 years of operation, the Warner Springs Soaring School has had no aerial accidents. This fact was of little comfort as the glider took off. The initial take off was painless and without drama. We were airborne several seconds before even realizing we were off the ground. This is due, in part, to the silence afforded by a glider. All we could hear was the distant hum SEEKERS of the plane 100 feet in front of us. We ascended to a height of 3,000 feet above ground level before our umbilical with the tow plane was severed. At times we rose at a rate of 800 feet per minute. With every foot of ascension the landscape below blossomed out in a panorama of hills and meadows. As we rose to the release height, we approached "No Name Mountain," a pile of rock and dirt speckled with pines and shrubs. The peak seemed so near to the glider's canopy, we felt as if we could touch its rocky landscape. With a loud "crack" our towiine was released, leaving us to glide on our own. Upon release, the glider was filled with a deafening quiet. Only the faint whistle of air through a canopy vent could be heard. As the glider drifts through the sky, every turbulent bump is amplified. We reached speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour as we circled "No Name Mountain." "Now I'm going to make you weightless," said Rabeneau. He plunged the glider into a steep dive, causing us to momentarily feel the euphoria of weightlessness. The whocp-dee-doog that turn in the stom- ach during such a feat surpass the best drops of the grandest roller coasters. "Now I'm going to make you twice your weight," Rabeneau commented as he banked us into a sudden turn. Our bodies shifted to the side, amplifying the effects of gravity and making us feel squished. During a straight glide, we felt a sense of ease, forgetting that we were floating at 3,000 feet without an engine. Rabeneau said that once he had been as high as 36,000 feet in the air. "If that doesn't make you an addict," he said, "you might as well buy a bowling ball." The 20-minuteride seemed too short as we approached the landing strip. We longed to stay airborne for just a few minutes more. Touchdown was smoother and more effortless than any engine-powered plane could be. We scarcely felt the ground when it was touched by the glider's wheels. Warner Springs Soaring Center offers longer, higherrides for slightly more money; and real thrill seekers can earn their gliding license after 2535 flights. All in all the experience of gliding soars to new heights of adventure. �LODGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 turned one of the adjoining buildings into a theater. Actually, the theater was originally built in the 1920s as a gym for Jack Dempsey to train for his second fight with GeneTunney. Back in 1980 when Goodman producedhisfirstpioduction, 'Our Town,' he was not only worried about the local talent, but he also worried whether there would be enough of an audience to warrant a year-around, weekend theater. "I was skeptical before the first performance, (so) I rented the theater lighting." He was so impressed with the audience's reaction on that first night that the next day he purchased the permanent lighting. On Oct. 6,1990, Pine Hills Barbecue Dinner Theater opened with its 53rd production. 'Noises Off,' a comedy by Michael Frayn, will run Friday and Saturday nights until the first of the year. The cost is $25. Included in the show is a barbecue dinner of New York Strip Steak, Baby Back Pork Ribs, assorted salad and vegetable dishes, warm Dudly bread,andhome made pork and beans. If you call in advance, you can order baked chicken, seafood of the day or a vegetarian entree. The theater in Pine Trees holds only 96 people, so it is important to call for reservations. "Originally, we only drew people from the San Diego area, but now we are getting quite a few people from Orange and Los Angeles county," said Goodman. He has produced all of the 53 productions and has starred in seven of them. Goodman got his taste for the theater while attending Duke University where he was a producer for the Duke Players. Goodman is also a Wizard fan and he has the largest collection of wizards in the state. The wizards have places of honor above the fireplace and on plate racks and antique furniture around the lobby.

IRWIN/DIBOS (619) 236-8420 �J ULIAN Apples highlight activities during autumn months The quaint, North County city of Julian bristles with activity during the fall months. The month of October is known as Apple Days throughout the Julian vicinity. Here visitors can find apples in every shape and size. The city of Julian has a wide array of gift shops and restaurants which cater to the apple lover in all of us. Visitors to the quaint town should by all means try some good-old fashioned cider and caramel apples during their stay. Probably the best place to delve into the apple culture is the Julian Cider Mill. This little gift/specialty shop not only has freshsqueezed apple cider, it offers honey, jams and nuts worthy of any grandmother's kitchen. The Cider Mill offers some very unusual honeys that sound as tempting as they look. Hawaiian honey, Mesquite honey, Papaya honey, apple honey and even pieces of honey combs fill the tiny shop. A sign outside the door even offers bees for sale. There is homemade fudge in dozens of mouth-watering flavors, and enough candy to keep the dentist industry in prosperity for years to come. Visitors can also watch the process of making apple cider from the inside of the store. Apples are placed in trays, covered and then squished to a pulp before the viewers' eyes. The Cider Mill offers cherry and boysenberry cider as well as the traditional apple flavor. The Cider Mill is located on the main drag of Julian, near Mom's Apple Pie Shop. For an apple pie that is loaded with fresh, tangy apples, Mom's Apple Pie Shop is difficult to match. Mom's is easy tofind— it's the place with the huge, snaking lines. From your place in line you can watch the process Mom's uses in constructing its masterful pies. Even though lines can last as long as 30 minutes, Mom's pies are well worth the wait. Mama's Cafe also serves apple pies to those who don't like long lines. Another prosperous pie place is the Golden Apple Restaurant The Golden Apple sits off the highway toward the entrance to town. For those who like to see Julian from a cushioned seat, carriagescontinually traverse the crowded streets. For $5 per adult, a 15minuteridetakes you around all the crowds to a time before automobiles. The best part about the horse-drawn carriages is that you needn't fret about a parking space. The Julian Country Market offers everything from apple-crafts to cast-iron stoves. Here you can pick up a caramel apple topped with M&Ms or sugar sprinkles. These delectable delights are offered by cart vendors on the market's lower levels. Old-fashioned crafts abound in this forum of arts and crafts. Apples carves of wood range in all shapes and sizes. If you'vealways wanted a genuine cast-iron stove to accent your rustic kitchen, the market has plenty to choose from. An immense variety of potpourris are available to add that scented, old-fashioned touch to any household. The Julian Country Market is located downtown near Mom's Pie Shop. If a caffeine buzz is needed to propel you through the streets of Julian, then you will be delighted with the wide variety of exotic coffees offered at the Mug Shot Cafe. Expresso, cappucino and other coffees are served alongside a tempting menu of freshly made soups. The Mug Shot Cafe is located on the south side of the downtown area. If melodrama is what you seek, then you will enjoy the melodrama performances in the Town Hall. Each Saturday and Sunday the Town Hall puts on an old-time melodrama at 2:30 in the afternoon. During these performances, the audience is encouraged to participate by adding boos and cheers to the characters in the play. The performance itself is filled with costumes and stories reflecting the turn of the century. Shoppers will love the sweater shops found in the downtown area. Julian Sweaters Ltd. offers Pendleton sweaters to keep even the coldest fish warm during the winter months. Located in the southern section of the downtown area, Julian Sweaters has a gorgeous selection of winter wear. Across the street from Julian Sweaters Ltd., is B arbara's on the Hill and the Yarn Company. Barbara's has a beautiful selection of hand-woven sweaters with striking textures and colors. The Yarn Company isfilledwith any kind of yarn needed to make sweaters and weavings. Just east of the downtown area, historians can delight in the Eagle and High Peaks Mine tour. For $6, visitors get an hour-long tour of Billie Moran's nineteenth-century gold mines. The mines' proprietors, Harlan and Karl Nelson, take you on a trip to the days when gold fever ran through the area in epidemic proportions. You will see how gold was extracted and refined at the turn of the century. The tour takes you on a step-by-step trek J O N A T H A N YCfuNG/PIONEER rough the mine shafts themselves, with an historical commentary running throughout i tour by the guide. Outside of the mine shaft is a prospector's museum. Here you can view the treasures found in mines similar to the High Peaks and Eagle mines. Some of the eye-catching treasures can be purchased on the premises. Before entering Julian, be sure to stop at one of the many apple ranches which thrive during the month of October. These apple supermarkets can be found right off the highway just outside of Julian. Meyer Orchards has, in addition to apples, peaches and pears. These fall fruits can be purchased either by the bushel or the bag. The Manzanita Ranch is probably the most popular apple farm, with Dudley's bread offered as an added attraction. For pleasant and rustic lodging, the Pine Hills Lodge is an oasis of relaxation for the nostalgic at heart. Here boarders can stay amongst fallen leaves and frolicking squirrels in a lodge filled with the ambienceof 1912. A stone hearth makes for the perfect place to sip a hot drink and reminisce about old times. Outside of Julian in the town of Santa Ysabel one can find the famous Dudley's Bakery. Sixteen varieties of freshly-baked breads are offered at Dudleys. The bread is so good it is difficult to make it home without munching on the soft bread. Lines to purchase the breads are as long as Mom's Pie Shop, but well worth it. Pastries and coffee can also be bought at Dudley's. Thirty minutes north of Julian, thrillseekers can have a soaring good time at the Warner Hot Springs Soaring Center. Here you can take a twenty-minute ride in a glider for less than $40. The gliderridesare safe and make for an outof-the-ordinary adventure that shouldn't be missed. Passengers areflowntowed in their gliders by a plane and dropped at 3,000 feet, where the engineless plane is on its own. An experienced pilot will take you on a trip into the wild, blue yonder that is unforgettable. The Soaring Center also serves as a pilot training school for those who wish to man the glider controls themselves. Gaining a gliding license is a long process, however, requiring about 30 hours of flight time before the pilot is allowed to go solo. The flights at the Soaring Center are entirely safe. In its 31 -year existence, the center has had no accidents. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990/PIQNEER ACCENT 13 Symphony sets 'electric' year FRED TRACEY/PIONEER New San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi has programmed an electic year of music. Students can take advantage of these music programs with a "student rush" offer from the symphony. Students with school I.D. (or other proof of enrollment) can get half-price on all remaining seats one-hour before performances. There are some wonderful programs planned, let* s start at the topof the list of favorite concerts this year by the San Diego Symphony: Gustav Mahler in San Diego? (Not in person - he's dead) Yes! Ever since Talmi "introduced" Mahler to San Diego as a guest conductor in May last year with Mahler's ' Titan" First Symphony, then again in October last year with Mahler's Fifth Symphony, San Diego audiences have become Mahlerarians of some sorts. In the 1990-91 season, Talmi, a noted Mahler interpreter has programmed Mahler's gigantic Second Symphony (Resurrection). This particular Mahler symphony has been winding its way down the coast this year. Performed in the spring by the San Francisco Symphony, it moves down to Los Angeles laster this year with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Our band picks it up April 5-7,1991 with Talmi conducting this monumental and dramatic work for chorus, orchestra, vocal soloists (and even organ!). This is the concert of the year. Next on my list is a concert Nov. 30-Dec. 2 with Talmi at the conducting helm and Ida Levin violin soloist on Medelssohn's Concerto in e minor for Violin and Orchestra. Talmi climaxes the concert with Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 in E Major. The Symphony's Classical Hits series includes an innovative concert highlighting hints of dance in classical music Jan. 5,1991. The program includes dances by Dvorak, Brahms, Copland and Beethoven's dance-like Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92. "P.D.Q. Bach,"akaProfessor Peter Schickele appears in a conceit of his own compositions: Fanfare for Fred (I might like that), Grande Serenade for an awful lot of instruments, Classical Rap, Prelude to Einstein on the Fritz, "Safe" Sextet and the 1712 Overture. If you haven't gathered by now, this music proves that classical music can be funny, in an odd sort of way. This will be a sell-out conceit. P.D.Q. Bach appears with conductor David Itkin Feb. 1 and 2,1991. For the romantics, Talmi conducts a c oncert c entering around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and appropriately the concerts are held in collaboration with actors from the Old Globe Theatre. The program features Berlioz's Two Excerpts from the Dramatic Symphony Romeo et Juliette, TchaikovsRy's Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy and Prokofiev's Music for the Ballet "Romeo and Juliet." Leonard Bernstein's serious concert music hasn't been well represented in this area, so the symphony's Principal Guest Conductor Robert Shaw conducts a concert made-up entirely of Bernstein's music March 15-17. The concert includes Symphonic Dances from 'West Side Story,' The Age of Anxiety (with piano soloist Jeffrey Kahane), Two Meditations from Mass and the Chichester Palms. The La Jolla Civic/University Symphony Chorus appears Under the direction of Yoav Talmi, The San Diego Symphony begins its 63rd season. with Shaw and the orchestra. Bruhaha d oesn't cloud d irector's ability It seemed appropriate for new San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi to program Verdi's4La Forza del Destino* Overture to open the orchestra's 63rd season earlier this month. 'La Forza del Destino,' which translates to 'The Force of Destiny,' appears to echo the symphony's immediate outlook. Israli conductor Talmi put the icing on the cake for the San Diego Symphony when the orchestra named him music director-designate April last year. Finding an artistic leader for the rebounding orchestra meant stability, and a signal to the community that the orchestra's destiny was well secure for the present Bouncing back from the total financial collapse of four years ago, the orchestra has been rebuilding all areas: artistic to financial. Theorchestra was also faced with regaining the trust and confidence of the San Diego community (the debt of four years ago was much larger than publicly acknowledged by the symphony's "old regime." Since then, a new staff has been engaged and thQ board of directors YOAV TALMI/ revamped). CONDUCTOR Naming a music director was one ot the challenges the symphony had to meet. The other challenge was touted as much as Talmi's engagement: becoming totally debt free (which the orchestra did earlier this year). With millions in donations (in- cluding a $2 million gift from publisher Helen Copley to retire the debt on Symphony Hall which the orchestra acquired a year before the financial collapse. The hall was re-named "Copley Symphony Hall."). Talmi was met with plenty of bruhaha as he began his three-year appointment as music director Oct. 1. There were two speeches made from the stage prior to the Oct. 3 concert, both of them not from Talmi. I wish the symphony's administration would get out of the business of making speeches! There were speeches made last April from the stage announcing Talmi as music director-designate, again, Talmi did not speak. Let's just skip the speeches (a front by symphony administration to SEE TALMI/PAGE 14 �T ALMI CONTINUED FORM PAGE 13 al|ow celebrity donors a few minutes irt the spotlight) and get down to the business of making music. Which is what Talmi and the orchestra does best The program chosen by Talmi to op^n the season was a music-lovers dream: Verdi's 'LaForzadel Destino' Overture, Rachmaninoff s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Brahms' Symphony No. 1. Andre Watts was to have appeared in the Rachmaninoff as piano soloist, but had to be replaced at the last minute due to a strained neck muscle. Watts was replaced by Cuban pianist Horacio Gutierrez. Gutierrez gave an honorable performance of the Rachmaninoff. The Cuban pianist didn' t meddle too much with the lushly romantic 18th variation of the Rhapsody. Following the Verdi and the Rachmaninoff, Talmi and the orchestra got down to business with Brahms' powerful Symphony No. 1 in c minor. Talmi brought out all of Brahms' expressive plains in the symphony. Talmi knows how to bring you up in the music, let's you float around a little, and brings you back down to a full tilt Bravo, maestro! My friend, accompanying me to the concert, and I chose to move to empty seats in the first row of the hall, right behind Talmi and in front of the cello sections (we had to crane our necks a bit to see the orchestra on the elevated stage). My friend wanted to be closer to the cellos, I wanted to be closer to the music making - specifically to observe Talmi closer. What a show I got Talmi is expressive, but he doesn't dance around on the podium. He gets what he wants through his clear beat patters, his phrasing and his ability to drive the 80-plus musicians with his passion for the music. By the time the Brahms was over, I felt that I had died and gone to heaven - and back again. TYPING NEED TYPING SOMETHING TYPED?

What makes In 'N Out so desirable is its unceasing dedication to fresh ingredients. Whereas waits at In 'N Out may be longer than other burger barns, the quality of their food makes the fulfilled anticipation all the more gratifying. The menu is short, simple, sufficient and sweet Nowhere can the collegiate gôurmetfindburgers with bacon or avocado; there are no onion rings or hot apple pies. Only hamburgers and cheeseburgers, shakes and fries are offered. By keeping away from the glitz and glamor of fancyschmancy concoctions, In 'N Out has the leeway to master the art of good, old-time burger-making. The masterpiece of In *N Out is its famed doubledouble cheeseburger. At $2.30, it is a work of art worthy of a place in the Louvre. By adhering strictly to the basics, the double-double achieves what few other burger shops can — perfection in simplicity. The ingredients of the double-double rest on a lightly toasted bun. There are no sesame seeds to irritate the dentures or the palate. The buns are fresh and make for a perfect resting place for the delectable ingredients. Two juicy hamburger patties, made with fresh, handmolded choice beef and sizzled to perfection, are smothered with two slices of American cheese and placed on the bun. Add fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions to these ingredients and a glob of special sauce, and the double-double is complete. With no cumbersome side ingredients like avocado, bacon or mushrooms, the double-double becomes a revered monument to simplicity. Be advised that it is almost impossible to eat only one double-double. The ingredients are so fresh and scrumptious that, even with a prohibitive appetite, the tastebuds cry for more. Frenchfriesat In 'N Out Burgers are 70 cents and are made with fresh potatoes; no unknown spices and flavorings encumber the flavor. They are of the good old-fashioned shoestring variety that are not too dry or greasy. Customers at In 'N Out can actually witness thé potatoes being peeled and sliced while waiting in line. To compliment the double-double and fries, the collegiate gourmet finds the shakes to be extraordinary. These thick,richcreations, made with fresh ice cream, are the perfect compliments to a great meal at $1.25. Flavors come in the traditional strawberry, vanilla and chocolate varieties. Be advised that these shakes are so thick, drinking them through a straw can become difficult. In *N Out also serves the usual soft drinks and a deliciously tangy lemonade. The only setback to In *N Out Burgers is the massive waits for service. Both drive-thru and walk-up windows have exasperating lines; but do not despair, the food at In 'N Out is well worth the wait San Marcos 727 W San Marcos Blvd. t he c opy c enter San Marcos, CA 92069 Take A Vacation F rom T he H assle Of T ypesetting & Typing.

NEWS 3 Japanese company donates college's largest endowment In an effort to help create international understanding in the North County Community, a Japanese firm, last week announced the creation of a $500,000endowment toCal State San Marcos, to establish an annual international festival. The endowment is the largest gift to CSUSM to date. At an evening reception held Sept. 25 and attended by 500 area business and community leaders, Yoshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy, representing the first annual increment to fund the Itoman International Festival at CSUSM. The yearly international festival will promotepublic understanding of Japanese and other nations' business and culture. "We are becoming ä global economy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an international environment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial $50,000 check to Stacy.

Craven Hall bids under budget $ 14 million offer s ets s tandards L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With an offer that was $ 1.4 million under budget, Cal State San Marcos last week closed bidding to contractors for Craven Hall, the first "feature" building to be constructed at the permanent campus. Bidding for contractors closed at 2 p.m. last Tuesday, with all 11 contractors bidding below the $ 15.8 million budgeted for the building. "This is something I have never heard of before," said Albert Amado, assistant vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. The apparent low bidder for the project was Bodell Construction, of Architect's rendering of Craven Hall. Salt Lake City, Utah. Bodell placed a bid of $14,325,000, less than 1 per- $15,597,000.

Students who had been previously afflicted with the diseases need not provide proof of immunization, but must produce documentation of having had theailments. The documentation must be from a licensed physician. "A lot of students c an't find rec- ords, however, it is safe to reimmunize," says Dr. Joel Grinold, chief physician of S tudent Health Services. According to Grinold, many students, that think they have previously had the diseases, may be mistaken. He says there are a number of viruses that cause rash illnesses similar to mumps, measles and rubella. "Measles in adults is a much more serious illness than in children," Grinold says. Grinold says that adults may experience ear problems, pneumonia and encephalitis as well as rash and fever as a result of the diseases. In addition, pregnant women may experience complications, and mumps is aknown cause of sterility in adult males. To illustrate the importance of immunization, Grinold gives the example of University of Southern California quarterback, Rodney Peefe. Two years ago Peete came down with a case of the measles toward the end of the football season. When USC went to the Rose Bowl, nearly half the team was afflicted with the disease. According to Grinold, many people born between ' 57 and ' 68 may not have received their vaccinations correctly. ' The practice years back was to give the vaccination at 12 months. At that age there is a great possibility that the vaccine won't take,"Grinold says. Even though the vaccine is better now than in previous years, Grinold says there is still a 5 percent chance the vaccine will b e ineffective. Grinold claims that the vaccine is notamedium for AIDS transmission^ so students do not need to fear immunization. "The vaccine is not made from blood products, so there is no risk of AIDS. Student Health Services also uses sterile technique (when admini- stering the shots)," Grinold says. The vaccine is administered free of charge in Student Health Services. Appointments are necessary for students wishing to be immunized. The California State University system requires that all students produce documentation of immunization after one semester of classes. Students can waiver the requirement if it conflicts with religious or personal beliefs. However, if a student does waiver the immunization and an outbreak SEE S HOTS/PAHF r BIDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 will then be sent t o the Chancellor's Office of the California State University system for approval. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the s econd l owest b idder,Taylor Woodrow Construction. Amado said he thinks the low bidding will continue through more projects. "There is no questions that bids will come in lower," he said. "(The building industry) has slowed down, there's not as many projects to bid f or." Amado said the construction industry is now experiencing a "low spot" in business that may last up to three years. He said the competitive nature of the market contributed to the low bids. "A $15 million project can really help a contractor make it through the rough spots," said Amado. In the meantime, Amado said he thinks the beiow-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. "The budget was put together five years ago," said Amado. " It was anybody's guess where the industry or economy would go." Due to a recession in the building industry, a record number of plans were issued to contractors and subcontractors. According to Amado, 280 sets of the plans, at $300 per set, were distributed. The money is refundable upon return of the drawings. Officials in the Cal State Chancellor's Office said the number of plans sold represents the largest number of plans issued for a Cal State campus. H ie 146,000 square-foot building will be thefirstfeature building on the new campus. The lower two floors of the six-story building will be garnished with imported marble. It will serve as a temporary library, holding over 100,000volumes, and will house administration and Student Services Hpon the campus's opening in 1992. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt talks with students after one of last Thursday's student organizational forums. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss methods of operating student-run organizations. Student forums proceed despite low turnout Despite lower than expected turnout at the student organization open forums held last week, college officials have begun the process of organizing student representation on the Cal State San Marcos campus. The purpose of the two forums held last Thursday was to begin the process of organizing studentrun committees to form student organizations such as a government and a newspaper. Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said the turnout at the forums was ' lower than expected/' Even with the low turnout, Zomalt said the forums will continue to be held on a weekly basis. "The purpose (of the forums) is to share general frameworks for starting student organizations," said Zomalt "We want to present to the president a proposal for the establishment of student government, a newspaper, a yearbook, institutionally related activities and a task force to provide a draft of the student handbook and policies/* he said. At the noon forum, Zomalt said he hopes student governmental elections could take place early next spring. He said he would like to see the students at CSUSM form a system of government that is uniquely their own. "There are certain guideline areas that must be followed," said Zomalt, "but the underpinnings that go into it are to be evolved and shared with students." Z omaltsaidtheformof student organizations can move in almost any direction as long as the guidelines f or the organizations are concurrent with Cal State University disciplines. Zomalt suggested that in o nto to write guidelines and policies, student committees should become familiar with restrictions placed forth in Title 5 , a code outlining policies of sharedgovernance in the educational system. "The slate i sn't absolutely clear (on formulas for student organizations), but some of the dots are already connected," said Zomalt. Last month, CSUSM President Bill Stacy appointed Zomalt to chair a task force to develop plans and review options of student organizations f or the fall term, Therese Baker, head of the Academic Senate, was also appointed to the task force by Stacy. In addition to Zomalt, two faculty members of the primary task force committee. Kenneth Mendoza, the chair of the Academic Senate's committee on student affairs, and Pat Farris, director of Business services, were appointed to serve on the committee. At the meeting, more forums, to be held on a regular basis, were scheduled. Zomait and the students present at the forums agreed that Tuesdaysat 12:30p.m. would be the most convenient time to hold the forums. All forums will take place in the Multipurpose Room* Building 145, Room 9. At today *s forum, Zomalt said that he hopes to form committees and subcommittees. These groups will be open to all students with meetings to be held at times other than the scheduled forum times.. These committees will make suggestions to the president through the academic senate on how to run studentorganizations, Zomalt said. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 , 1 990/PIQNEER Library computer program aids with career guidance Developed by a team of researchers 'and specialists at Educational Testing Service, SIGI PLUS (System oflnteractiveGuidanceandlnformation PLUS) combines the unique capabilities of the computer with thoroughly researched data bases of occupations, skill, interests, values and educational programs.

Age need not be a barrier. The older student population of CSUSM has the wisdom of experience to contribute to the infant campus. Who is better suited for forming a new system of government than those who have seen the faults of the old ones? The biggest fear is that the vim and vigor that seems so externally prevalent at CSUSM will be lost with internalized apathy. This kind apathy, for instance was seen last spring when Stanford University elected Bart Simpson for student body president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for its senate. Wanting to make an impression at CSUSM that will last forever is fine in theory, but actually venturing out and taking advantage of the opportunities that are available is the only way to cross the river of challenges to a lasting future. . . . ; . . .. . �8 EXPLORI m j f H fjSffi&t f H H B _ p i o n e e r / t u e s d a y , o c t o b e r 2,1900 Tourists traps abundant on tiny island.

For $38 you can buy a boat rip and ten minutes in the air. Para-Sailing is just one of the tourist-oriented traps at Avalon Bay in Catalina. Most of the tours end up at Avalon Bay, but there are other packages which allow you to visit other parts of the island, away from the tourist influx of Avalon. Avalon Bay is easy to get around in. If you choose not to walk, bicycles and electric (golf) carts can be rented. The electric carts are in abundance at Avalon Bay.

You c an't miss them. The Sea Jet cruise line out of San Diego and Oceanside Harbors o ffer you the option of buying admission to a few tours of the island. The tours are independently operated by Sea Jet, so blame them when you come away disappointed. The "Glass Bottom Boat Trip" takes you out around the edge of the island to peer into the sea. For 40 minutes you stare through the the glass-bottomed boat to hopefully get a glimpse of something amusing in the sea. Actually, what visitors see mostly is the abundance of kelp growing from the sea's floor. All sea life is virtually obscured by the waving kelp. The boat is the largest glassbottomed boat in the world, which is probably the most interesting aspect of this tour. On land, tours of the city of Avalon are available. Tourists are herded into an "open air" bus and taken around the inner and outer reaches of Avalon for 50 minutes. Aside from the electric carts which the tour drivers squeeze between, this tour affords a spectacular view of Avalon Bay. ^ffc F ile E dit O ption EXPLORE But probably the preferred tour is the 3 and 3/4-hour Island Motor Tour, a half-day adventure that takes you to the inner sanctions of the island. The wildlife is diverse. The island is home to 12 North American Bald Eagles and some 400 North American Bison. The bison were brought to the island in 1924 to be used in the movie 'Vanishing America.' The studio producing the picture brought 14 of the bison to the island and left them there after filming was complete. The small population of bison adapted to the island and grew to the size it is today. Reportedly, the bison can weight up to 2,000 pounds and still run as fast as a race horse. If you ride the Sea J et's line to the island from San Diego and take the tours, you are left with just over an hour to explore Avalon Bay. Away from the B ay's shops and the tourists, Avalon's side streets and quaint neighborhoods are the charm of city. Yet, even this quaint atmosphere is disrupted by the electric carts that tourists have rented and residents use to get around the bay. Overall, Catalina has much to offer the daytime tourist, but plan on spending a weekend on the island if you wish to experience its charms to the fullest.

The opinion changes season to season. Once autumn rolls around, the 2,500 year-round residents enjoy a respite from the summertime crowds, which average 10,000 to 20,000 people per day. Michael Haphe, 23, an islander for most of his life, doesn't mind when the fall season rolls around. For him i t's a chance to catch up with life. "From an islander's point of view, i t's crowded (during the summer)," Haphe says. The tanned lifeguard reflects on his l ife as an islander. " You're used to such a slow pace nine months o ut of the year." But the young Catalina native also admits, " it's f un (in the summer). You meet lots of people and do a lot of f un things." Haphe lived most of his youth on the island, attending school in Avalon until the 11th grade. He returns each summer from college EXPLORE 1 1 PAR ACHUTE: The umbrella canopy of the parachute suspends the rider in the sky like a kite.

Haphe leans on the pier's railings, squints in the late afternoon sun and thinks about the changing of the seasons, and his change in favorite seasons. "When I was living here," he says, "the summer was my favorite part of the year. T hat's when all the people are here. Now, I like the autumn. I t's a little less fast-paced.

CONTROL STRAPS: By pulling on the nylon harness straps, the rider can control aerial movement. iling, an uplifting ride Like a kite floating on the end of a string, you sway lazily in the sky. You become one with the clouds and the wind as your parachute suspends you in mid air. Para-sailing gives the airborne thrill seeker the chance to experience the delights enjoyed by thermal-riding birds and butterflies. For $38 and 8-10 magnificent minutes, visitors to Catalina can fly like a kite above the pristine city of Avalon. Island Cruzers offers the thrill with an emphasis on safety and excitement The concept of para-sailing is remarkably simple; the rider is suspended in the sky by a parachute and is pulled behind a boat with a 300-foot length of rope. Although the sport looks dangerous and difficult, it is surprisingly safe and simple. Even amateur adventurers will find the activity to be easier than riding a bicycle. First the rider is strapped into a relatively nonrestrictive harness. The harness, constructed of nylon straps, fits snugly around the legs and chest. Although it looks frail and without supportive structure, the harness is very strong and gives the rider extensive freedom of movement. A large, colorful parachute flaps behind and a sturdy lifeline connects the para-sailer to the b oat To insure safety and facilitate the launch process, Island Cruzers has installed a hydraulic wench to the lifelines * The wench feeds the rope out from the boat evenly, allowing the para-sailer to launch without touching the water. Air fills the parachute and, as SEEKERS the boat builds speed, the rider is lifted into the sky. Once airborne, the para-sailer sees the world from an uniquely bird-like point of view. The landscape below unfolds like a blossoming flower as the parachute flaps gently in the breeze. The rider settles into a calm pocket of air hundreds of feet above the ocean's water. It is almost as if the world has stopped revolving so the parasailer can settle in and enjoy the view. The most unsettling aspect of the ride comes with the realization that the boat, which is towing the rider and parachute, is only a distant moving speck. The rider becomes acutely aware that the only thing stopping him/her from being swept away into the sky, is the umbilical connecting him to the boat. Even more unsettling is the view straight down, as the rider sees his feet dangling far above the ocean below. The thougnt that the rope could break at any time or the harness might suddenly give way, adds tension and a sense of danger to an otherwise placid flight Once the rider becomes acclimated to the feeling of flying on a tether, the true fun begins with the realization that the parachute can actually be controlled. When the rider tugs on the harness straps behindhis/her head, the parachute responds by actually turning toward the direction of the strap pulled. If the left strap is pulled, for example, the parachute will veer in that direction. By tugging on one side the harness, the para-sail»' releases air from that side of the parachute, causing it to dip in the direction pulled. If the rider pulls both straps simultaneously, the parachute loses altitude. A fun exercise is to pull both straps at the same time until the parachute dips about 50 feet. After dropping, simply release the straps and the parachute will regain its previous altitude almost instantaneously. When the ride nears its end, the boat slows to a crawl and the hydraulic wench reels in the tether. The rider is brought back to the deck of the boat gently and safely without touching even a drop water. Para-sailing is an uplifting experience for thrill seekers of ^ almost any age or sex and should not be passed by. Para-sailing adventures are also offered throughout Mexico, but be prepared to get w et Most places in Mexico that offer para-sailing d on't use a hydraulic wench. So the next time the urge to go fly a kite arises, check out the view from the other end of the string. �12 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 ,1990 EXPLORE CATALIN A guide to island tours, activities and restaurants Catalina is an island paradise located just west of America's most populous state.

The endowment, the largest gift given to Cal State San Marcos to date, constituted the primary funding for the first CSUSM International Festival. At an evening reception held Sept. 25, 1990, for 500 area business and community l eaders, Y oshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy. The check represented the first annual increment to fund the International Festival. The purpose of the yearly event is to promote public understanding of other nations' business and culture. " We a rc becoming a global cconomy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an i nternational e nvironment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial check to Stacy. " We are aware of your new university's special, if not unique, mission to train your students to succeed in the international marketplace. As your new neighbors, we want to help." Kawamura said. The Japanese trading firm will contribute $50,000 each year for the next decade as an endowment to provide permanent financing for the annual festivals. The festival will move to the permanent campus next year upon the completion of Phase I of construction. Stacy said the $500,000 endowment i s the largest gift to date for his university and certainly among the largest gifts for any public college or university. "An endowment of this size will contribute greatly to helping our university in San Marcos meet its international mission," Stacy said. "We're especially delighted an international company the size and stature of Itoman is the benefactor," he said. With annual sales worldwide of $5 billion, Itoman is a specialty trading company dealing in foodstuffs, metals and machinery, leisure and real estate. Last November, Stacy met with several community and university members to start the process of creating the first festival. Dr. Donald Funes, professor of Arts and Sciences and chair of the festival committee, said their discussion then was to determine "what a festival was." "We had to learn how to do it," Funes said. The committee entitled the first festival "Our Global Village" with their initial plans of creating different V^O/UX4>OfLALQy areas where performers and food and craft vendors of like cultures would gather. "The problem was we didn't have enough space," Funes said. He also cited the difficulty of obtaining enough vendors fro every culture to be represented. In early spring, 1991, the committee altered its original plan and now has three main villages: a main performance area, foods and crafts. Funes said the performers were easy to find. "The concerts went together quite quickly," he said. Bonnie Biggs, CSUSM librarian, organized the entertainment end of the festival. Funes said her organizational experience with the American Indian CulturalFair and other festivals were a tremendous advantage. Performers include Lion dancers, Japanese Taiko drum/dance ensembles, mariachis, a Middle Eastern Hajji Baba group, traditional blues artists and an Afro-Cuban dance band. In the original plans, the vendors were faced with problems regarding certain food regulations. To avoid li- ability with private groups providing food, the committee decided to allow only commercial vendors to participate in the festival. The third village of the festival got a late start "The crafts kept sliding to the back burner," Funes said. A.S. Council member Venus Van Handel approached the committee in April and volunteered her time to organize the craft vendors. "We have real cultural diversity in the cultural groups that are involved," Van Handel said. Vietnam, China, Ireland, the Philippines, Latin America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Turkey, the Ukraine and Native American communities are represented Van Handel said. Funes said the committee is expecting festival attendance to reach between 3,000 and 4,000 people. Although the public is encouraged to attend, Funes said the festival is primarily for the students and their families. A large portion of those expected to attend would be students if they came w^th their families. UllCUVQSl/ APARTMENTS 2 BRAPTS.

At their Oct. 24 meeting, Task Force members completed a Mission Statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM. The statement is the first in a series of projects that would establish a student governmental system. "We are in our second iteration of the drafting of the mission statement for the Associated Students,** said Dean of Student Services Ernest ZomalL Zomalt also serves as chair of the Task Force. "It was a necessary first step before even doing a constitution," said David Hammond, task force member. "But that bit of work (the mission statement) is done.** Task force members sought to write a broad, but firm, foundation for the university of the 21st century. "We have had spirited conversations reflecting the best hopes for the Association,'* said Zomalt. "The task force has done an excellent job in identifying the critical areas which should serve as the foundation for the Associated Students.*' "The gist of statement is to recognize that it*s a world of interdepend- ence and pluralism," said Hammond, a so we made the mission statement as one that would promote pluralism and the recognition of the diversity in the world population. "The mission statement seeks to provide a path that will be relevant to the 21st century. At all times the task force kept close in mind that this school is theCSU flagship for the 21st century. "Hence, we included the normal commitment to student services and extra curricular activities, but a lot of the language is dedicated to the principals of non-discrimination, and supplementing the educational experience to make the student a more sophisticated person. "We sought to reflect the bigger mission of the school." The final Associated Students package would include the completed Mission Statement, a constitution, and guidelines for a student newspaper and a yearbook. The next hurtle for the task force to overcome is to establish a constitution. Becuase the university is being built from the ground up, the students on the task force have the unique opportunity of forming any type of government they wish. "The slate is not completely clean,** said Zomalt at thefirsttask force meeting. "There are certain guidline that must be followed.'* SEE MISSION/PAGE 4 rr—rr C S U S M Students choose Feinstëin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Diane Feinstein was chosen over Republican Pete Wilson, in an unscientific, anonymous pollof Cal State San Marcos students, to win in November's election.

LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER Aztec Shops officials are shouting "Aye Caramba," after an Oct. 22 burglary robbed them of watches, calculators and Simpsons paraphernalia. According to a report filed with the Vista Sheriffs Department, the incident occurred sometime between 3p.m. Sunday and 6:50a.m.Monday. The burglar gained entry by shattering the lower east window of the bookstore which services Cal. State San Marcos and San Diego State's North County campus. Bookstore manager Deboran Meeker estimates the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. A Macintosh SE computer, with an approximate value of $2,000, was left behind along with hundreds of dollars in software. Among the items stolen were $400 in watches, $295 in Cassette recorders, $190 in backpacks, $ 155 in clothing and $90 in stuffed animals. Even though bookstore employees refused official comment, some speculate that the burglar took items that are most easily pawned. Although the computer and software were of greater val ue, they would be more difficult to sell than the items taken. The Simpsons collection, which includes buttons, T-shirts and baseball caps is a high-in-demand line that is easily sold to consumers. Bookstore officials claim that great pains were taken to acquire some the $130 collection. Buttons, with picture of Bart and the Simpson family were meticulously removed from the cardboard placard which held them. Employees commented that it would have been easier for the perpetrator to take the whole placard. I Vista Sheriffs officer A. R. Riley arrived at the scene at 9:40 a.m. and found evidence of a forced entry. Rather than attacking the lock on the front door, the burglar used an unknown tool to break the rear window of the shop. No evidence was reportedly found at the scene to indicate the identity of the crime's perpetrator and, as of yet, no witnesses to the incident have been found. As of press tune there are no suspects in the crime. Officer Riley indicated in his report that the crime may have been committed by more than one person. Riley could not be reached for comment as of press time.. The security firm that patrols the campus, Wells Fargo Security, was not on duty during the time of the incident Meeker filed Grand Theft and .Burglary charges with the Sheriffs Department and indicated in the report that Aztec Shops will prosecute if a suspect is found. Security officials at SDSU, which operates Aztec Shops, said they have no report filed on the theft. �4 NEWS PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 199Q P EOPLE S ite S earch With personal writing, Pioneer's columnists show that they are people just like you.

COURTESY O FSTATELINE CSU —TT M ISSION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Sub-committees to the task force are working on a student newspaper, a yearbook, and clubs and organizations. The process in which clubs and organizations could be formed will be included in the constitution. The entire package will be submitted to CSUSM President Bill Stacy and the students for approval. The Mission Statement was derived from two proposed statement submitted by task force members William Christensen and Hammond. Zomalt combined the two proposals and resubmitted them to the committee. At the Oct. 24 meeting, the committee made some further revisions to the statement to finalize it. According to Hammond, the task force holds its meetings in closed sessions. This is because the task force is an evaluation and advisory committee and not a formal governmental body. "We are charged with the expediency to get ideas on the table for President Stacy and students to approve," said Hammond. �NEWS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1990/PIONEER DISPUTE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 contracted to install a utility tunnel, grade the area and prepare it for future buildings. To help in the task, Louetto has hired subcontractors/such as Poss to do some of the work. Albeit Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said in an earlier interview that even minor delays in preparing the site could set off a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. "This stage of work is a critical path for this project," he said. According to a recent article in the Times Advocate, Louetto has a long history of contractual disputes. The article states that, three weeks ago, the firm was fired from a $6.5 million contract to expand the North County Transit District's bus maintenance and refuelling stations in Oceanside. Transit officials claim that the contractor incorrectly installed fuelling tanks at the site. Louetto claims that Transit officials never granted them an extension in the station's building schedule. Louetto also claims that Transit officials never granted them extra time to clean up and remove contaminated soil that was previously undetected, Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charge Louetto with failing to pay for work done on jobs in the county. Some of the suits have already been resolved. Although lawsuits between subcontractors and contractors are not uncommon, Ken Lounsbery, vice president and general counsel of Lusardi Construction Co., says the amount of legal activity revolving around Louetto is higher than normal. Amado said the college secured a performance bond on Louetto before work had begun. The bond guarantees that a contractor will complete a project on time. If Louetto does not properly fulfill its duties in a timely manner, then CSUSM can fire the contractor and hire another firm to continue the work. The college has already contacted Louetto's bonding agent, Reliance Insurance of Seattle, to force the dispute with Poss to be resolved. If the dispute is not resolved by Wednesday, the university will consider replacing Louetto. Originally, the college required that the construction firm settle its dispute by Oct.28, but extended the deadline late last week. The deadline was extended until Reliance completes an investigation into Louetto's financial stability. If Louetto does get terminated by the university, the college would then be forced to accepttheservicesof theproject'snext lowest bidder. Louetto acquired the job by bidding $260,00 lower than the next lowest contractor. Building on the $15 million Craven Hall could be set back as a result of the dispute. Earlier this month bids were received on the building, a focal point of the new campus. Construction on the building is scheduled to begin late next month, but Amado says they will be unable to proceed until the grounds are prepared. The dispute marks another setback in a series of delays which have put the construction process to a rocky start. Last month construction was temporarily halted when trace amounts of the pesticide DDT were discovered at the site. Another delay was incurred when excess deposits of granite and debris were discovered during construction. NEED TYPING SOMETHING TYPED?

Our answers may sound too simple, bu it truly is that "prevention is the best medicine." The basis of preventative health care is knowledge (understanding how the way you conduct your life can help or harm you) so that you can make beneficial decisions. You can prevent many accidents and illnesses by making minor lifestyle choices. The greatest risk to the health of college-age persons is unintentional injuries (accidents). They are the leading cause of death and disability. Over 70 percent ere due to motor vehicle accidents, and half of those are related to alcohol abuse. The role that other drugs play is currently unknown, but given the other hazards associated with drug use, it makes sense to abstain from any drug, including alcohol, when driving. One simple tactic that can greatly reduce the chance and severity of injury in an automobile accident is to always wear a safety belt whether you are driving or riding with someone else. Make sure that all required safety equipment in your car is in good working order and obey all traffic laws. If you drive a motorcycle or motor scooter or ride a bicycle, wearing a helmet is highly recommended. Defensive driving orridingis your best protection. Remember, most other vehicles have difficulty seeing you until it is too late, so drive or ride as if you are invisible to other HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS vehicles. Most important of all, don't drink and drive or ride. After vehicular accidents (including bicycles), the most common serious injuries involve recreational activities and occupational injuries. Recreational accidents can frequently be prevented by getting proper instruction, using the correct equipment, and using common sense. Most occupational injuries can be prevented with proper training and the use of proper equipment and clothing while working. In future columns, other areas of preventative health will be discussed. If you need further information or have questions regarding good preventative health practices, feel free to stop by or make an appointment at Student Health Services, located across from the University BookStore. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the chief physician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. GRAND OPENING B USINESS H OURS MON-FRI. 7 A.M.-7P.M. SATURDAY 8 A.M.-5 P.M.

OCTOBER 30, 1990 Making millions during America's coming recession Now that the government spokesmen are admitting that we "might be entering" a recession, you can be sure of one thing — we're on the verge of a depression. But cheer up. Just because America's only trade surplus is in IOUs ($15,000 for every man, woman and fetus) doesn't mean you can't make a killing in the marketplace. To make it simpler for you to become one of A merica's newest millionaires, I 've c ompiled a list of products and P I O N E E R STAFF W RITER services that will be in demand during the post-trickle-down 90s. • Incendiary devices and/or arson service — To take advantage of the increasing demand by owners to cash in on commercial and home fire insurance policies during the downturn in business and real estate values. • Shopping cart and cardboard s ales—To provide transportation and lodging for the yuppies who didn't use the first service quickly enough. • Bible and Koran s ales—For the upsurge in fundamentalism that always accompanies an upsurge in unemployment. • Marketing flammable crosses, swastikas, rope, spray p aint—For the crowd whose intolerance won't be satisfied by fundamentalism. • Wrought-iron bar and security alarm sales — For the urbanization of the suburbs. • Liquor store—Provider of America's drug of choice in good times and bad. • Pet food distributor — To provide for the nutritional needs of our growing population of seniors below the poverty line. • Coffin manufacturing—To provide a final resting place for the geometrically increasing number of children who will die of parental abuse, substance abuse, AIDS, suicide and good old-fashioned malnutrition. • Green ink manufacturers — For when President Bush can no longer extort money through the 16th Amendment or sell worthless Treasury Department IOUs to Japan and Germany. He'll crank up the already humming printing presses and spew out enough funny money to wallpaper every city in America with hundred-dollar bills. Of course, since the flow of worthless greenbacks is already occurring, I guess you can ignore my foregoing advice about the businesses. By 1995, at the current accelerating rate of inflation, every American, regardless of profession, will be a millionaire. And, if you're as lucky as the inhabitants of Germany in 1923 or South America in 1990, a shopping cart full of milliondollar bills may just buy you a loaf of bread.

Hence, no bureaucratic process or mandate should disrupt the delivery of knowledge. Course Forgiveness—the means by which a student may retake a course for a better grade—is almost extinct in the California State University system. In fact, San Diego State University is its last refuge, and the movement there is to scale back its application to just one course. At CSU San Marcos, a Course Forgiveness policy has yet to emerge. Arguably, Course Forgiveness is a "pro-Education" contingency, and its abolishment is contrary to the spirit of what education seeks: to propagate knowledge. With Course Forgiveness, a student may retake a course once whenever their grade is originally a C- or worse. Both grades remain on the transcript, but only the later is factored in the student's grade-point average. In the worst abuse of this privilege, an individual contemplating graduate school (and who isn't in this credential-concious era?) could "sand-bag" their GPA by retaking enough courses to essentially rid the average of everything but stellar grades. This potential pariah is prevented by limiting the number of courses that may be forgiven, either overall or by major. Furthermore, the original grade remains on the transcript While the numeric GPA may seem impressive, the means to this triumph will be indelible. Overall, the construction of Course Forgiveness has its own capacity to quell rampant application. Notwithstanding these assurances, Course Forgiveness has a very positive attribute: it promotes learning. For most of us, the facts of life preclude s tellar p erformance in every subject. Sometimes c atastrophe strikes, and our school work is P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR n e g l e c t e d . Othertimesthe subject is not to our liking, so resistance to learnin g is {»resent. In a rare instance, the teacher is lousy, so comprehension—much less enthusiasm—is stifled. The list goes on. Without Course Forgiveness, the unfortunate recipient of aCor worse grade is condemned to write-off the experience as frustrating and futile. The subject will likely never be approached again, and education is the ultimate looser. On the other hand, the opportunity to repeat the course—if only out of the motivation to improve the grade—will result in a new, hopefully more successful exposure. In this scenario, the student and education are both winners. I urge the administration of CSU San Marcos to adopt a policy of Course Forgiveness. Otherwise, this will become an idea buried l>y the impetus to do what is easiest, instead of what is right. ^ DAVID HAMMOND �L etters t o t he E ditor President endorses Proposition 143 P IONEER 250-2 S.

GROUCHO M ARX On the Nov. 6 ballot, there is a measure that will have a profound impact on the future direction of higher education in California. Proposition 143, the Higher Education Facilities Bond Act of November 1990 will provide $450 million for capital outlay projects at the California State University, the University of California and the California Community Colleges. This is a particularly crucial turning point in California. We are faced with a population explosion very much like the one experienced after World War II. California's population growth soon will show up on our campuses. More than 1.6 million new pupils are expected to enroll in the public schools in the next decade, ensuring a continual flow into the state's postsecondary institutions. These students will need the libraries, laboratories, classrooms, and equipment that will be made available if Proposition 143 is passed by the voters. The bond act also will help higher education keep pace with technological advances and improve the campus environment with funds for seismic safety and energy conservation. Proposition 143 means jobs for workers to construct and remodel facilities, and for faculty and staff to teach and assist CSU students. In the long run, the state's economy will strengthen by the bond as it will provide an educated workforce for business and industry. It is estimated that 65 percent of the new jobs created in California in the next five years will require some college education. Here at CSU, San Marcos, the newest state university of the CSU system, and the only state university being built from scratch in the United States, several projects will be funded by Proposition 143. They are: • equipment for Academic Building I • equipment for initial facility - library book acquisition, part II • preliminary plans for the library, Phase I • preliminary plans, working drawings for the infrastructure/site development II • preliminary plans for the academic complex II We are asking the voters to consider the future as they vote on Nov. 6, and in particular, to continue their commitment to higher education — a commitment that literally founded CSU, San Marcos one year ago.

I would like to offer a different point of view. I 'd like to relate the experience of my effort to "get involved." To get the Task Force rolling, Dean Zomalt scheduled two general meetings, one at 12:30 p.m. and another at 7 p.m. I have a class at 12:30, so I attended the 7 p.m. meeting. At this general meeting, I was informed that there would be an organizing conference the following Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. This time and date had been decided at the earlier meeting, and those of us at the evening meeting had no voice in the decision. This second conference would be for the purpose of deciding permanent meeting schedules for the committees that would be formed. Because of my 12:30 p.m. class, I was unable to attend the conference. As a result, I had no voice or choice in determining a permanent meeting schedule for the yearbook committee to which I was assigned. I later learned from Barbara Pendleton, also on the yearbook committee, that only two students out of five on this committee were in fact able to attend the conference, and these two students decided on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m.! I explained my schedule problems to Barbara, and asked her to help me communicate this to the committee. I also complained about die scheduling to Dean Zomalt's secretary, Linda Leiter. Ms. Leiter offered to try to help me, but did not call me back to follow up. Ultimately, I was unable to attend the yearbook committee's first meeting this past October 9, when, according to Barbara, they B ILL STACY/CSUSM PRESIDENT elected a chair, discussed goals, and assigned tasks to members. No one from the committee called to include me in responsibilities, or even fill me in. Hey, I'm willing to miss any T.V. show, and even my personal family time!

S HABEN WAHL/ESCONDIDQ Students do have a vote at state level In response to Mr. William Lott's letter in the Oct. 16,1990 issue, I would like to correct his statement that, "Students are not voting members of the Board of Trustees." Scott Vick, currently a student at CSU, Fresno, is serving the second year of his twoyear appointment as a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Vick serves on committees, attends Board meetings and is a voting member of the Board. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott when he attended the groundbreaking ceremonies at CSUSM. He is a dynamic role model for CSU students as an involved student leader who was appointed by the governor to represent students on the Board of Trustees. As a member of the Student Governance Task Force, and the parent of a CSUSM student, I am proud and excited that students, faculty and administrators are sitting down together to work as a team to create our university: We are committed to creating a fair, decent community that encourages students, as well as faculty, staff and administrators, to maximize their potential. The University Mission Statement wasn't written as a piece of advertising hype—we believe in the goals and values it contains. J UDITH H . T AYLOR/ DIRECTOR, PERSONNEL SERVICES �Glancing through this year's California General Election Ballot Pamphlet is a long arduous process. Propositions that negate others abound in this complicated labyrinth of social responsibility. To help comfort you in your confusion, Pioneer is offering its picksfor November9s General Election issues. P ROPOSITIONS H14 - Local Hospital Districts. NO - Since hospitals could have shareholder interest in other health-care corporations, the spirit of a free market economy is violated. Ballot shows voters' changing view One must be careful when perusing through this November's California General Election Ballot This voluminous compilation of propositions contains Bills that contradict or negate other propositions. This ballot does reflect a growing concern for environmental issues and addresses the need to get "tough on crime," but don't be fooled by smokescreens. Some initiatives like "Big Green" are too broad to do "anything but tie taxpayers' money up in a web of bureaucracy. Initiatives like Prop. 132 narrow the scope sufficiently to a point where taxpayers can readily see the benefits and costs of the Bill. Other initiatives, like Props. 133 and 149 have such good ideas, but with exorbitant price tags to the public. The best advice to voters is to sit down for a few hours and read the two books outlining November's ballot propositions. Look not only at the source of funding for these Bills, look to see who is in favor and who is against them. From there make up your own minds. The mostdifficultchoiceon this ballot willbe for the Office of Governor. H 2 5 - Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax. fiail Transit Funding.

Both Wilson and Feinstein choose to sling insults rather than face the issues facing this state. Neither candidate is particularly impressive or solid. The best choice for voters is to write in a more competent candidate than the two principal ones presented to them. As Americans we are not pigeonholed into voting for just the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. We have the opportunity to choose whomever we see as the best candidate. Don't vote for Wilson or Feinstein because you want to choose the lesser of two evils. Choose your candidate because you want to elect a representative of the greater good. In all probability, either Feinstein or Wilson will take the office, but your write-in vote will send the message to future politicians that you, as voters, are more interested in the issues than party rhetoric.

The Winchester House, in San Jose, is the only other building in the state to have suclf a distinction. There are only 30 "ghost houses" in the nation listed with the Department of Commerce. According to the Historical Shrine Foundation, the ghosts Thomas and Anna Whaley still roam the halls of the building, they had never died. Since the mansion was the public in 1960 as a museum, June Reading has seen and evidence supporting the claim ghosts exist in the Whaley As director of the museum, has become a true believer in ghosts. She has volumes of stories to of spirit activity in the historical monument "I was with a visitor to the museum when I saw Thomas Whaley on the landing upstairs," she claims. "He was a small-sized man wearing a topcoat, pantaloons and a wide-brimmed hat. He was turned away. "He looked solid, but the figure faded away. One of the (employees of the house) told me that he didn't come through the front door. We then heard a m an's laughter from the rooms upstairs." Reading has not only seen and heard the visions, she has smelled them as well. One year, before the holidays, Reading and a class of school children smelled the scent of apples cooking from the kitchen. She says she frequently smells the cigar of Thomas Whaley in the main hallway. "Most of what they do is very pleasant," states Reading. " It's as though the family is just going about its daily routine." Candy Brabent, who works as a guide in the house says she too has noticed indications of activity from another dimension. According to Brabent, a music box in the house plays without provocation. She says she frequently hears the piano and other instruments, such as the museum's antique mandolins, start playing by themselves. "Sometimes you actually feel someone is there," cites Brabent. Thomas and Anna Whaley are not the only spirits to roam the house's rooms. In January of 1852, Yankee Jim Robinson was hanged on the plot of land that was later to hold the Whaley~House. attempting to steal the $6,500 schooner PLUTUS, as Thomas Whaley watched on. According to Reading, Yankee Jim can be heard pacing in the upstairs sitting room. She says the sound of his footsteps resounds through the building every s ix, months. "I haven't heard him in a while. I t's about time for him to come around again," she says. A fourth spirit, named Washburn also roams the house. Washburn was a playmate of the Whaley children who met her tragic death when she struck a low-hanging clothesline in the back yard. She died of her injuries in the arms of Thomas Whaley. Washburn is mostly seen by children who visit the museum. Even the family dog, Dolly Varden, has been heard running through the hallways of the house. Reading says that the hauntings are not always pleasant, however. Once, while showing a visitor an antique doll, Reading says the hallways became very dark and q uiet "We heard the baritone laugh of a man coming from the hall. We thought someone was watching us," she says. "The person I was showing the doll to just looked at me and said, ' Let's get out of h ere.'" Other times windows will be mysteriously held open and the crystals of the chandelier will rattle. According to Reading, actual physical evidence exists to support the claim that the house is haunted. Parapsychologist Dorine Turner makes frequent trips to the house to photograph the specters with her camera. These pictures are on display in the museum. Turner's camera acts as a medium to the spirits of the house says Reading. Even though the naked eye might not pick up ghostly images, they mysteriously appear on the film when it is developed. "The pictures show energy known as ectoplasmic tubes, or a vapor trail of light," says Reading. "If enough of these tubes come together, they look like figures. We had one of them enlarged and it looked like a brilliant nucleus." Ever since the visit by Regis Philbin 26 years ago, the house has not been open to visitors during the n ight In the meanwhile, daytime visitors can feel for themselves the spirits that roam Thomas Whaley's brick mansion. ,. . _ „ J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER 0 lk # Regis Philbin, TV talk-show host and entertainer saw the ghost of Anna Whaley on the Andrew Jackson sofa pictured above. �Psychic energy used to locate lost persons SAN MARCOS BICYCLE IS NOW OFFERING CHRISTMAS LAYAWAY J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The word came in that a hunter was lost. For the Montana Mounted Police, it was important for them to find him before the coming storm dropped its snow on the area. Despite the numerous clues they had, the police were unable to find the lost hunter. But all their resources were not exhausted. The Montana Police contacted Nancy Kelling, a professional psychic. Kelling, now a resident of Carlsbad, worked with the Montana Mounted Police and their Helicopter Patrols for about two weeks in locating lost or missing hunters. She retells one incident. "I worked with the Montana Mounted police and helped them psychically to draw a map to help them find a hunter." Kelling started. Kelling said she was able to pick up energy emitted from the hunter's body. "What I do, is go into the energy field or the imprint of the hunter," she said. Kelling was able to draw in her mind a map using this energy that can tell more than a normal, two dimensional map. "Until I did that particular thing, I didn't realize that a psychic map would have more detail on it than a geographic map. "I went to that space psychically and you pick up his attitude and mood, like he was angry with the other hunters, so he decided to leave. "He starts walking to the right of the truck, going straight ahead and then veering backwards. "And then I was getting the slant of the hill. The direction that he goes to the right and then there was the wind and a storm. There was a steep drop off and a camp fire to the l eft "There weren't hunters at that moment but there was tracks from three hunters, possibly four . .. and a deer or a larger animal." Kelling not only picked up details that are specific to that area at that moment, but also emotions. "I not only get the direction he was going in, and his emotion, which has a lot to do with how fast he will travel, but I also got imprints of other people." Kelling used this psychic map to assist the Montana Police in finding the lost hunter. "I was able to tell them to look for a campfire that's out or look for tracks from hunters;" Kelling said. EVEN BEFORE HALLOWEEN OR THANKSGIVING GETS HERE, IT'S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS NOW .. . AND SAN MARCOS BICYCLE HAS A 3 MONTHS LAYAWAYPLAN THAT'S JUST RIGHT FOR YOU! NANCY KELLING/PSYCHIC "I was able to get all kinds of signs or parts of a map that a natural map wouldn't have on i t "I did get that feedback that I had things more psychically preciser or in their proper order that the map would have never shown them." Kelling's map was correct, but in this particular case, her work was her own downfall. "The sad thing is the sheriff would not go in on the word of a psychic," Kelling explained. "It kept coming in as 'You have to find him before the snow falls' because he wasn't going to live through the snow fall. "We did find him, but he was no longer alive." This wasn't the only case in which Kelling has used her psychic ability to help law enforcement officials. She also assisted in the capture of two arsonists. " I've worked with the arson department on more than one series of arsons," she said. "I picked up what his pattern was and what signs or symbols in terms of directions in order to catch him." Since Kelling moved to Carlsbad a few years ago, she has been working with local police and FBI agents in the same fashion. Because those cases are not solved as of yet, she could not mention any of the factors involved. She also works as a private consultant. In these sessions, Kelling gives advice from relationships, jobs, past experiences, how someone presents themselves and even some predictions. "A psychic reading is just another perspective or overview," she said. "It just gives you other ways to perceive a situation." Kelling will be giving a free lecture dealing with the psychic field today at the Palomar College Community Theattfe at 10 a .nr.'

The bullet should have shattered Morgan's skull. The next fact that May discovered was that Morgan's body was found with her head towards the top of the stairs, and her feet towards the bottorti. This is the way bodies are placed, not how people fall after shooting themselves. Morgan would have fallen down the stairs, not up. May returned to room 3312 alone on Thanksgivin; Day, 1989. He ordered Thanksgiving dinner for two to make up for the holiday Kate never had in 1892. May said he felt Morgan's presence that day and got a feeling that Morgan was finally at peace, knowing the truth about her death was finally discovered. But May's research hasn't unearthed the mystery behind the Hotel Del's other "haunted room," 3502. It's believed that the hotel's original owner, Elisha Babcock kept his mistress in 3502 one night, where she unexpectedly died. Babcock disposed of her body somewhere on the grounds of the hotel.

I made arrangements to stay the night in 3502 recently, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever it was that walks the room endlessly at night. But I wasn't so fortunate as a secret service agent who in 1983 was at the hotel with then Vice President George Bush. The agent was put in room 3502. Not knowing he was put in a haunted room, he laid in his bed and happened to be watching a television show about the very room he was staying in. About an hour after the program ended, the agent claimed to hear : T-e pipes in the room rattling and the drapes ¡ TV moving. He flgl • • wasted no |pr \y time in securing another room. About three years prior to this incident, a man checked in to the room and later complained about a room on the sixth floor above 3502. The man claimed to be bothered during the night by someone walking around all evenig in the room above his. The hotel employee told the man there is no sixth floor, only five. I was greeting by two phone calls from someone out to spook me (the hotel said they feel there are pranksters who call the "haunted room" to scare the occupants). After hearing about attorney Alan May's reports, I asked if I could stay the night in room 3312.

One room has the head of a woman, dctatched from her body, screaming, "Where's my body?" The skit sends spine-tingling chills through the onlooker. During the duration of the tour, an immense cast of wandering scaries roams the serpentine halls, adding an unpredictable element of surprise around every bend. The best part about the attraction is the eerie atmosphere created in the maze's hallways. Because the labyrinth's walls are not permanent, they can be altered to create any setting that fits the proprietor's demonic desires. One passage is lined with doors that open and close at random as if possessed by an evil entity. In another part of the maze, travelers are forced to walk between rows of hanging clothes, well aware that the beasts of the closet could leap out on a whim.

To add more terror to terror, F LYERS ASTROBRIGHT $2492 EXPIRES 11/30/90 INSIGHT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE New Monster Maze makes visitors get lost in terror As far as man-made haunted houses go, the Monster Maze, located at the Family Fun Center in Escondido, is a horriginal labyrinth of suspense and excitement Here, the traditional haunted house concept is expanded with a terrorific blend of old monstrosities and new surprises. Visitors of the maze will find a creepy assortment of ghoulies, ghosties, long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night. These creatures have taken residence in the otherwise meek Maze Graze attraction of the Fun Center. The maze itself is a perfect conduit for ghouls and goblins to execute theirfiendishacts. With its twisting tunnels and outdoor atmosphere, the Monster Maze is a world detached from the dimensions of normality. What makes this world so believable are the terrifyingly original apparitions that spring out around each turn. As visitors enter the maze, they are confronted with a talking head which warns them of the horrors they are about to see. The maze's proprietors use technology similar to that used in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, to make the ghostly head come to life. A real talking head is projected onto a model head, creating an eerily animated illusion. Inside, the maze contains a series of original, terrifying horror vignettes. Each room in the maze has its own frightening tale to tell. In one such room, an old hag sits placidly in her rocking chair while stabbing a bloody doll with a seveninch knife.

These screaming sounds can even be heard in the line outside the attraction itself. A mist floats through one section of hallways, adding obstructed vision to the other muddled senses. The best atmospheric element of the Monster Maze is the graveyard setting in the midst of the twisting passages. Red lights illuminate the fountain and tombstones spring up like dead weeds from the parched earth. The graveyard is the most haunting element of the attraction because of its alarming authenticity. At the maze's end, visitors confront Spidora, a large black arachnid with a human head. Spidora uses the same technological magic as the head at the maze's beginning. The talking spiderwoman actually interacts with visitors to add a unique finishing touch to the attraction. The Monster Maze is a great place to take a date with a taste for the macabre. It is also a great way to scare the Halloween-hypers from your wound-up kids. At $5 admission per person, the Monster Maze gives more screams for the dollar than any other localarea haunted houses.

In 1920, electricity was added to the house. While the electrician was putting wiring though the two-foot adobe walls he ran across an aged skeleton. Not knowing what to do about the problem, he continued with his wiring and plastered up the wall leaving the skeletal remains. The bones are still residing in the wall of the house. The end bedroom, part of the original adobe, is associated with two separate ghosts. The spirit of Julian Chavez, riding on his white stallion, and the famed Lady in White. "I heard the hoofbeats but didn't see the ghost," said Clair Schwab, volunteer docent director. She went on to explain about the night she waited for the ghost of Chavez. "You think it will happen. You hope it will happen. When you do hear it your stomach gets woozy and you get a tingly feeling down your back."

The sheriff, so tickled at the story, told Couts that he was not really a sheriff but Julian Chavez, the red bandit, and that he had actually come to steal the horse. He assured Couts because of his kindness that he would not have to worry about his horses again. The story goes on to tell of a later period in Couts life, when he was in desperate need of cowboys for a roundup, three vaqueros showed up at his door step offering their services.

However, these doors are locked and will remain that way for the first part of the show. The lock-up might be to keep something, or someone, o ut But this time, it is to keep everyone in as the theater magic and musical hypnotism of Andrew Llyod Webber transports the audience from the Los Angeles stage to the Paris Opera House, and to the realm of the Phantom of the Opera. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a basic love story between beauty and beast The show's success has thrived on this basis from opening night However, since the lead character of the Phantom was changed earlier this year, the feel of the show has lost its strong love appeal and has transformed into a true horror story. Robert Guillaume stars as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera.' Robert Guillaume replaces Michael Crawford as the Paris opera ghost, a role which Crawford developed since his premier in the London cast. It was Crawford's elegant movements and rich voice which made the heart pound with joy and sorrow. Guillaume's development of the phantom is quite different Guillaume is most noted for his comedic role in 'Benson,' but this show is no comedy. Guillaume transcends his role as the cocky butler with an interpretation different from Crawford's. His phantom is less "lovey-dovey" and more brooding and cynical. Guillaume plays a character which adopts the opera house as his own home. He requires a salary from the managers for using his opera house and reserves himself a balcony box for every show. The show begins as new, unbelieving managers arrive and the Phantom's tutoring of lead actress Christine Daa6 is made known. The opera ghost tries to keep control of his opera house SEE OPERA/PAGE 17 'Memphis Belle' flies high with perfected strategies Traveling back to family roots in 'Avalon' If you could capture the esscnce of the best war films from the 30s and 40s, combine it with 11 hot young actors, and mix in a famous plane with a history, you'd have all the ingredients for 'Memphis Belle.' The story line is simple, therefore strong and poignant. Eleven guys have made 24 daytime bombing runs over France and Germany during World War II and returned to home base in England unscathed, while their fellow fliers are being shot down left and right. The boys and their plane, the 'Memphis Belle,' have one more mission to accomplish and it's the most dangerous yet, right into the heart of Germany. What makes you care whether these guys make it back or not is the character studies of each man, explored in the few days before their last mission. Matthew Modine is the fiy-by-thc-book, goody-two-shoes captain who's looking to return to his furniture business and his Belle from iti Zì£3Y 101 Memphis, whom he named the plane after. The rest of the officers consist of Tate Donovan as the co-pilot who wants to be a hero; Bill Zane as a bombardier who fudged about his stint in medical school; and DB Sweeney who convinces himself that he's not going to make it back alive. The rest of the crew includes Reed Diamond, Sean Austin, Courtney Gaines, Neil Giuntoli, Harry Connick, J r. (proving himself to be as able an actor as a singer), and Eric Stoltz who creates yet another memorable character. The script is so well-organized and tight that the inner working and comraderie of the crew drags you into the story. Each and every one of the characters is well-developed with his own individual idiosyncrasies and moments of strength. Visually, the movie convincingly communicates the time period. Unfortunately, you never get the real sense of the size of the plane since the parameters of WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER F ILM CRITIC the movie involve jumping from one place to another inside. However, with its strong cast and script, 'Memphis Belle' should attract some attention from the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences when it comes time to vote for the 1990 Academy Awards. Out of the 11 strong choices, it will be interesting to see which performers arc chosen for acting nominations. In 'Avalon,' director and writer Barry Levinson takes us back to our roots—back to when our ancestors first came to America. The account is bittersweet because of the fragmentation of those core families who came here looking for abetter life. They found it, but the price was high.

Still, every song PAVIP HATCH/PIONEER , contains a groove e ven the most danceoriented band would love to have, but with an ensemble that will rock your socks off from the word "go." Corey Glover has the potential to knock every other rock vocalist off the "metal mountain." Not to mention, across the mediocre valley on "guitar-god hill," Vernon Reid stands as master of all he surveys. On both albums, Reidspews forth with riffs that will make your mouth water with delight, revel in their complexity, and be shocked by their brashness. The aforementioned groove is produced by Muzz S killings, on bass and William Calhoun, on drums. These two conceive rhythms that other rock bands only dream about conceiving. All of you "sing-along-in-the-car" rock mcgastars better keep aware while driving because, when you hear the grooves that Living Colour has assembled on Times Up,' you'll be "bangin' your head" and dancing in your seat. Just don't forget that this is one band who writes their lyrics conscientiously, so listen to them. ROOTS O PERA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Box,' portrays Sam Krinchinsky, the patriarch of the clan. He came to Baltimore in 1914 on July 4 and becomes a wallpaper hanger for his four brothers. ^ The family flourishes with business success, marriages and children, but changes slowly start to fragment - them. • -jI Sam's son Jules marries and changes his name to Kay. Jules and his cousin Izzy Kirk (who also changes his last name) become partners in an appliances business. With the success of the business, Jules moves his family, including his father to the suburbs, away from the rest of the Krinchinsky clan. Distance, time and television all play a part in causing the separations that become too big to bridge. Levinson based his story loosely on his own family. He gets his point across, but not as strongly as he could have. He has a penchant for bizarre camera angles in this film. Levinson photographs most of Sam's memory sequences in a stilted time speed which lends a symbolism to their re-telling. However, he also uses annoying tracking shots in certain scenes that are distracting and never give the audience anything to focus on. The storyline also starts and stops, neverflowingevenly to the conclusion. Still, with such a fabulous cast, including Mueller-Stahl, Joan Plowright, Aidan Quinn, Elizabeth Perkinsand young Elijah Wood, how could a director go wrong? He also couldn't go wrong on the overall theme of the movie which revealsapieceof Americana to, which we can all relate. As the Phantom, Robert Guillaume hypnotizes Christine, played by Dale Kristien, with his solo "The Music of the Night." and gain the love of Christine. His love for Christine isn' t possible due to the horrifying disfigurement that makes him the beast. The addition of a third character, Raul, also ruins the dreams of the Phantom, as Raul i s the man to win the heart of Christine. Guillaume's phantom gets no sorrow from the audience arid never gains the love of Christine. What he does get from both parties, however, is fear. In trying to maintain the power which he has savored as the opera's phantom, Guillaume' s character casts spells, curses, kidnaps and even kills throughout the show. Combine his heavy, staccato baritone voice with his abrupt, shallow movements and you have a very sinister man. Guillaume stands in the spotlight several times and gains theaudience's praise for his singing and performance; he is still the star of the show. But the audience still cannot sympathize with his character as they did with Crawford. The sympathy is directed to his victims: Christine, Raul and the cast of the opera house. Dale Kristien and Reece Holland are two of the original cast members and use their experience and familiarity with their roles to draw the audience's compassion. Of course, the show couldn't maintain its success without the support of the special effects. The stage transforms from scene to scene with ease and astonishment At one point, the stage even erupts with fire. The score by Webber is not hindered by the cast change, but it has evolved into another dimension of stage performances. T he Phantom of the Opera' has enjoyed a long run in Los Angeles and will continue to haunt audiences for years to come. �18 CALEN2AR DON P EDRO T ALENT S HOW N IGHT: A Showcase for musicians and singers every Friday and Saturday 18TH ANNUAL H ALLOWEEN at Can-Cun Restaurant, Rancho H UNT: Ghouls, ghosts and goblins Bernardo. 485-8282 will be roaming the passages as E LVIR A : The Mistress of the Dark Knott's Berry Farm is transformed will Headline a "Rock V Horror" into a ghost town through Oct. 31. revue each evening at Knott's Berry Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, will Farm, Buena Park.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now, the Tukut—a yearbook which is now being coined as the shortest-lived tradition on campus — lies dead, killed by the lack of student participation. It's pathetic. Some are getting tired of the same words written here, phrases that chastise poor involvement and a shortage of university activities. Tough; until something is done and the problem is corrected, then we're not going to let up. A few say that for a small campus like Cal State San Marcos, the level of participation is a high percentage. Those supporters are quick to point out the 36 percent turn-out for thefirststudent elections. Goodfigures,but outdated. The most recent election drew less than 25 parent and the one before that only 16 p aren t Granted, that number is relatively high compared to our neighbors at Palomar College with less than 1 percent of the 24,000 student population voting. But look at the figures for the now-dormant Tukut. With a population of more than 1,800 students, the yearbook staff only received 50 orders.

My comparison was between a homosexual's and a vegetarian'srights:they are both a chosen lifestyle that affects only them and a select few close friends and family. But there is a difference. Those people that have decided against eating meat are not being killed for their way of life. I t' s shocking when statistics reveal that the top hate-crime is against lesbians and gays. People are beingridiculed,beaten and even murdered because they choose to lead a homosexual life. Why? How can someone take the life of another human because of an alternative lifestyle? How can people feel threatened by a homosexual when the only difference is how they conduct themselves sexually, an act that is practiced privately hopefully behind closed doors? Why must people be killed for living differently? How can we stop the killing? Maybe the start is a Gay Rights Bill — maybe not I haven't decided y e t On one side, the debate that I wrote about previously, a Gay Rights Bill would give unnecessary special attention to the homosexual community. Yet the fact that people are dying may make the attention extremely special. The realization that there is something very wrong with how people not only work and go to school together, but how Americans live with each other has sparked a flame inside me. The flame has shades of pink and purple, a sign of support for homosexuals'rightto live however they choose to. The fire also burns red, symbolizing a tribute to those who have died from AIDS. I pass on the embers to you, to re-evaluate the plight of the Gay Rights movement. If you don't accept the way of life of gays, lesbians and bisexuals, then at least accept theirrightto live that life.

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

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

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

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

Beneath the surface, then, "Werewolf' targets the question of David's sanity: has he lost his mind —or has he merely been manipulated into believing well-crafted folklore? Similarly, have Landis' subleties — which include the subjective camera, panning and circling motions, and constructive shots — manipulated viewers into seeing a nonexistent beast? Indeed, the werewolf does not show itself in full until we viewers, along with David, have abandoned our logical minds for the film's lycanthropic proddings. Clearly, "An American Werewolf inJLondon" serves as my recommendation to anyone interested in a quality horror film, whereas "Innocent Blood/' which earns, at best, a waitfor-video designation, may, for all I care, rest in peace.

That is the question being asked by a group o f Cal State San Marcos students and faculty wishing to create a literary journal for the university. The project, spearheaded by English major Regina John, would create a magazine comprised o f short stories, poems, photographs and artwork by CSUSM students. John said the thrill o f having o ne's own original works published has inspired her to create ajournal for CSUSM. "I was first published in the journal Tide pools a tMiraCosta College," John said. " I thought we needed to start things here." Already, with the help o f English Professors Pat Boni and James Mack, John has informally compiled a list o f about a dozen students for the project. According to Mack and Boni, other students not on the list expressed interest in the publication. Six members o f the group, comprised principally o f English majors, held their first meeting Wednesday a t B oni's home to discuss plans on how to make the journal a reality. " I had a feeling there was a lot o f positive energy about this project," said Mack about the meeting. " It will definitely be a focal-point for English and Humanities majors."· English major Jennifer Eagle, who attended the meeting, said the informal gathering helped to affirm the goals o f the journal. "This is not just a mere fantasy. W e're determined to make it a reality," Eagle said. Eagle indicated that she would like to submit a short story to the journal. Other students who were notable to attend the meeting expressed enthusiasm for the project. Elaine Whaley, who is majoring in English, said she hopes to submit 1990-91 budget examined A projected operating cost o f $ 10 million and an adjusted budget o f $8.8 million, has left CSUSM officials pondering how they are going to reducetheresulting$1,231, 783 shortfall in the 1990-91 general budget. A t the September 13 University Council meeting, a proposed spendingreduction package was presented. $454, 681, being spent o n p art-time faculty salaries, library books and faculty work stations, will b e transfered from the general budget to the Lottery a ccount Another $372, 086 in expenditures for computers, furniture, and library shelving and books will be transfered to a different fund. T he largest group o f reductions will c ome from cuts in the public . relations and institutional research dir ectors's spring budgets, shrinking spring funding o f part-time faculty positions, and absorbing cost associated with the science lab. T he n et effect o f the cost saving measure will leave the campuswith a cushion o f $ 17, 127. written works as well as participate in the editing process o f the journal. Whaley helped to edit a journal published by Seattle's Shoreline Community College. Submissions for the journal will be chosen by students in regards to content alone and will not be judged in regards to the contributor's name or previous publishing experience. Authors' names will be separated from the works during the selection process. Even though student enthusiasm about the project has been high, John said she is still unsure o f where funding for the journal will come. To help get advice for the funding o f the project, John will meet with the CSUSM's President, Bill Stacy, tomorrow. Professor Boni said they will not discount the option o f selling th e journal. At the next meeting o f the group, scheduled for Sept. 24, members of an editorial board are expected to be selected during the gathering. " What we need is a board where integrity is maintained. W e must keep our intellectual and moral integrity in regards to works chosen for th e journal," said Boni. Mack said the group decided at Wednesday's meeting to democratical! y make decisions regarding the publication. He said the journal should make an important external statement o f what is occurring on the campus. "All English instructors should want to get a finger in the pie," he said. A name for the journal has not yet been decided, but participants want it to reflect the theme o f ' a new beginning.' Boni said the group has high expectations for the journal's quality. " We would love our journal to be the best in the country," said Boni. "Nobody sets up by saying, ' We want a mediocre journal."' 7\ BUDGET SUMMARY BUDGET BALANCING GOVERNOR'S BUDGET Estimated cost to run CSUSM for the 1990-91 year PROJECTED DEFICIT .. ........ .. -$1 ,231 ,783 Salaries .... .............. $6,903,586 Salary Savings .... ...

NEWS 3 S tudent government forums scheduled; task force initiated In an effort to build a student government at Cal State San Marcos, two open forums, providing information for government-interested students, are scheduled to air concepts and begin painting a picture o f how student representation will look in the months to come. " It's important to mold a student government to m eet the needs o f the CSUSM campus," said Sandra Kuchler, the assistant dean o f student affairs who is helping to organize the forums. Kuchler said that since rapid growth is scheduled for CSUSM USM, it is important to create a student government that can grow with the college. To help facilitate the process o f forming a body o f student representation, CSUSM President Bill Stacy is organizing a S tudent Government Task Force to develop plans and review options for the fall term. Dean o f S tudent Services Ernest Zomalt was asked by Stacy to chair the task force. Zomalt and Sociology Professor Therese Baker will nominate two faculty members to serve on the task force. The forums, scheduled Sept. 27 at noon and 7 p.m. in Room 9 Building 145, will provide students with additional information regarding the structure o f the task force, its meeting times, calendar o f activities and reporting deadlines. "The forum will serve as a general explanation o f what is going on," Kuchler said. According to Kuchler, interested students can serve on committees to aid the task force in their mission. In order to solicit student involvement, a survey for students has been sent through the mail. With this survey, students can indicate committees in which they are interested. Student committees include: Associated student government Clubs and organizations Student regulations Student newspaper CSUSM yearbook Committee to develop a campus community statement Academic senate committees A brief statement describing experience, attributes and interests is required with the survey. According to Kuchler, student recommendations will be made from information gathered in the survey. " We want to look at different kinds o f governmental bodies," said Kuchler. "Perhaps we will have subcommittees to brain storm ideas. Kuchler said student initiative in forming a student government has been good. She said about 30 students responded to a student government survey distributed at orientation. Czech student checks out SM Pavilkova glad to be studying English in U.S. M ICHELLE POLLINO/PIONEER Lenka Pavilkova considers herself very lucky to be studying English at Cal State University, San Marcos. She considers herself very lucky to be in America at all. For Pavilkova America was an unattainable dream until this year. Pavilkova's homeland is Czechoslovakia. There she attends Charles University (also known as Carlova University) in Prague. Founded in 1348, Charles University is the oldest college in Central Europe. Pavilkova has been in America for about two months, and is studying English at CSUSM to gain a further grasp o f the language. Due to the c ountry's p revious economic and political conditions, Pavilkova's arrival in the U.S. was long in coming.

An educated person who criticizes without reading up on the issue at hand is an oxymoron. Recently, California State University, San Marcos received its first bit o f academic criticism with the news o f a quartermillion-dollar endowment which would have created a new chairperson for geology. Criticism revolved around conditions for the endowment set forth by its donor Allan Kelly, o f Carlsbad. The endowment carried the stipulation that any professor filling the chair must study and report upon the truth or falsity o f K elly's controversial theory o f impact geology (a theory that claims many o f e arth's geological formations were created by large meteors). The academic community protested, claiming the conditions violated academic freedom and would tum the newly-formed umversity into a laughing stock. CSUSM's President Bill Stacy responded by putting an immediate end to the endowment offer. In the course o f o ne short press conference the issue ceased to exist. Some might assume that Stacy was being tooprotectiveofhis infant university by cutting the generousendowmentoffer, but at this early stage o f development, CSUSM needs all the common sense and care it can get. Stacy acted responsibly and with all the proper instincts o f a wise p arent By rejecting the endowment, Stacy prevented controversy, calmed academic uproar and preserved the college's initial image o f squeaky-cleanness. Whereas Stacy's quick action is to be admired, the quick criticism by the academic community is to b e deplored. Few o f the professors that came forward in the revealing L os Angeles Times article had actually read the conditions o f the endowment. They assumed that CSUSM would become a research pawn for Kelly's unusual theory. STAFF EDITORIAL T hey, o f c ourse, d id n ot r ealize that CSUSM was not obligated to produce e vidence s up- porting K elly's theory. CSUSM would have only been obliged to s et aside a small portion o f time to examine the probability o f the theory and report upon its findings- positive or negative. Kelly, who has committed much o f his life to his theory o f impact geology, simply wanted proper research performed on his ideas. Because he is not a "scientist" or a "scholar," getting a major university to research his theory has been next to impossible. Giving a new university funding to research his ideas was a great way to have his ideas scientifically explored and to help the community as w ell Stacy saw a wonderful opportunity to help his university to grow. With the geology chair that the Kelly endowment would have created, Stacy would have been one quick step closer to CSUSM'ss maturity. He saw the vision o f a new department, more d· versity in the university's educational offerings and a closertie i to the community through the donation. In time faculty approval may not have been forthcoming and the whole endowment issue would have been ended anyway, but nobody will ever know. All that is known is that members o f San Diego's intellectual community struck a blow to education without knowing for what they were fighting. Such actions are expected o f morons but not educated men. Constructive historical significance is the aspiration of anyone seeking greatness. T oday's world is so busy with important events, it may seem impossible to plot for relevance: communism and th e Berlin Wall are falling; the superpowers are quasi-allies; and a c ontemporary Hitler is trapped in his desert hell . What part o f t he big picture, then, is left for all of us to claim? As members o f the vanguard class at Cal State San Marco s, w e are unwittingly on the path o f greatness. Our participating in this entrepreneurial, frrst-in-twenty-years major un iversity makes us leaders in A merica's last empire: educatio n. Additionally, there is a collector' s passion for th e first edition; inevitably, history will refer to us and where we ' ve gone. More specifically, we face the rare capacity to prescribe the future and, indeed, there are many areas where we can make marks on the future o f a m ajor university. Perhaps the most striking detail a t C SUSM is the higher proportion o f w omen, oftentimes referred to as "returning students." More accurately, they are the "current trend." Women pursuing degrees and credentials in higher n umb ers than ever is a microcosm o f t he progress they can seck in society. In recognition o f this mission, a campus-based center highlighting great women (and thereby providing role models) is not gratuitous. Leaders in a rt, science, medicine an d business could comprise such a tribute, with a focus on recent and local subjects. I t's important to note that the Teacher Credential program at CSUSM hosts many o f t omorrow's torches o f learning. Establishing the Department o f Education as a prominent source o f applied research will b e o f p aramount importa nce to the university's profile, and may be seminal in stemming a deluge o f societal ills. On the flipside, Business Education continues to hold intense p opularity and pragmatic p ayoffs. Furthe rm ore, CSUSM is the only state subsidized alternative to SDS U's distant and impacted program. There should be no hesitation to buttress the elements of today' s best business education: writing and problem solving; behavioral management; and international citizenship. T he b est balance to strong professional programs is a broad, liberal arts and science curriculum. All o f the mandates o f higher education get met: intellectual development, communication skills, cross-cultural exposure and appreciation for the human heritage. Finally, there should b e rapid development of a studentbody political process. This will lend momentum to th e school's collective soul and it will give a voice to the univ ersity's " owners." In order to real force in decisions, and no t merely a seminar in parliamentary procedure, there must be built-in administrative and faculty interfaces. All too frequently the disparagement o f the past is a reflection o f " what s hould have been done." W e have been blessed with a pinch in the historical tide and our duty dictates throwing stones twenty years forward. be a D AVID H A MM OND/PIONEER �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1 990/PIONEER OPINION 9 I raqi conflict a nd H itler regime contain deep economic parallels P IONEER 250-2 S.

Call up the reserves. Tell grandpa to dust o ff his Civil Defense helmet. The reincarnation o f old Adolph Hitler is searching for Lebensaraum in the mideast. Journalists and politicians quickly p oint to t he s imilarities between Saddam Hussein's Blitzkrieg into Kuwait and Hitler's takeover o f Czechoslovakia in 1938. But are these masters o f the sound bite and pork barrel too selective in 'drawing parallels between the present stalemate and World War II? Are the leaders o f opinion and industry purposely focusing on the obvious to avoid the revelation o f far deeper and more significant parallels? You be the judge. In March 1942, more than three months after the U.S declared war on Germany and Japan, the senior Senator from Missouri, dedicated to "exposing treasonable arrangements," embarked on a series o f hearings. The target o f these hearings was Standard Oil. With the help o f dirt dug up by Roosevelt's Secretary o f Interior, Senator Harry S. Truman showed that Standard and Farben I.G. (The German industrial trust) had literally carved up the world markets far more efficiently than Hitler and Stalin had vivisected Poland. Oil and chemical monopolies had been established all over the map. The hearings revealed that WilliamS. Farish, then President o f Standard Oil, had refused to send vital patent information to Canada because Canada and Germany were at war. Farish had also refused to supply the U.S. Navy with Standard's newly developed synthetic rubber. Truman even produced cables showing Standard's arrangements with Japan were to continue throughout any conflict or break in trade." What Truman's hearings did not reveal was that the Chairman o f Standard Oil, Walter C. Teagle helped organize the sale o f tetraethyl lead, an essential aviation gasoline additive, to both Germany and Japan during the first two years o f the war. He even "borrowed" 500 tons from Ethyl, the British Standard Subsidiary. Thanks to Teagle, London actually provided the material that made it possible for Hitler's air force t o bomb England. Not only that, through Teagle 'scrcativebook- keeping, the British Royal Air Force "had to pay royalties to Nazi Germany through Ethyl-Standard for the gasoline used to fly Gorging 's bombers that were attacking London. The payments were held in Germany by Farben's private banks for Standard until the end o f the war." While gas lines and rationing were the rule in the U.S. during the war, the U.S. Ambassador to Spain further blew the whistle on Standard when he made the statement on Feb. 26, 1943, that "oil products available in the country o f Spain arc considerably higher than the present per-capita distribution to the people o f the Atlantic Seaboard o f the United States." Culpable as they were o f treason, Standard Oil was in n o way an anomaly. They were joined in their wartime activities by Ford, ITT, the Chase Bank and many others. But again, the object is not to cast blame, but rather to discover whether the parallels between the present "crisis" in the Persian Gulf and World War II run any deeper that the psychological - rofiles o f Saddam Hussein and Adolf p Hitler. The most important question to ask in times o f national crisis may be: w ho's got the most to gain and the least to loose? A trip to the gas pump may provide a clue. Or how about the scarcity o f Fortune 500 CEOs patrolling the Saudi-Kuwaiti frontier? Perhaps they know there's an Iraqi nerve gas canister with their name on it.

Few people are adventurous enough to discover the real treasures found on the peninsula. Below Ensenada, B aja's northernmost state does not only afford an inexpensive getaway from the hustle and bustle o f Californian suburbia, it also offers a paradise for sportsmen and campers. Many Baja enthusiasts mainLain that the only way to really experience this portion o f M exico is not from a hotel room, but from . the awning o f a tent. From there the untamed land can be witnessed first-hand, as it was meant to be witnessed. Baja is rich in camping areas, with each possessing a magic all its own. Most can be reached via the Transpeninsular Highway. :rhis thousand-mile ribbon, cutting down the length o f the peninsula, has opened the wilderness to great numbers o f surfers and R V campers eager for relaxation o r sport. Adventurers will find Baja to be safe, different and very friendly. Roving hordes o f b anditos and gringo-hating Mexican police are more easily found in Mexico mythology than in reality. I f a nything, the inhabitants o f B aja Norte are friendlier than their northern neighbors. Heading southeast from Ensenada on Highway 3, campers can find the fastest route to the Sea o f C ortez and the little town o f S an Felipe. The road heading to San Felipe is a lonely desert stretch passing endless auto graveyards and flat, uncompromising terrain. T he t hree-hour trek ends with the highway a t two giant c ement a rches marking the city o f S an Felipe. At San Felipe the desert meets the crystal blue Sea o f C ortez. Campsites with names like ' Campo P ee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' abound. Virtually all these campos afford dynamic views o f the ocean and are equipped with showers and bathrooms (referred to as W.C.s). M any have hookups for recreational vehicles. Beaches a t S an Felipe are wide with fine, white sand. Water temperatures range in the 90s with lillie o r no harsh currents. In the entire San Felipe bay, the waters are waste deep for about a half a mile out. T he w ater level on the Sea o f C ortez drops a full 3 0 feet during low tide and shell collectors can stroll far out into the bay without gelling wet. This phenomenon affords a remarkable view. O ne gets the feeling o f the landscape o f an alien planet. Strolling into the bay a t low tide can be dangerous, however. Stingrays work themselves under the moist sand and are a pt to sting anyone stepping on o r n ear them. Nights are warm and breezy and are excellent for nature lovers who enjoy sleeping under an endless cloud o f stars. The food in San Felipe is Beautiful rock formations abound in Baja California. At left, a crevice is formed in the cliffs of Bahia de Los Angeles. Exotic shells and stones can be found in these nooks and crannies. fantastic, with shrimp, clams and octopus in great abundance. For $1 b udget gourmets can feast on two shrimp o r fish tacos a t any o f the small street stands. Because San Felipe is a popular hangout a mong college students, nightlife is plentiful and exhilarating. AT C a nd motorcycle riders will find s ome o f the best sand dunes in N orthern Baja j ust south o f the city. Doubling b ack on Highway 3 to E nsenada is t he only way to r eaccess the Transpeninsular Highway, the only paved route heading south. Just below o fEnsenada, near the town o f M aneadera, sightseers can find L a Bufadora; otherwise known as the blowhole. This sea geyser is considered by many Mexicans to be the eighth natural w onder o f t he world. Here waves are compressed through a natural crevice in the cliffs. T he c ompression forces the ocean water 150 feet into the air in a fine spray. With each wave, crowds o f s pectators cheer on the magnificent geyser. Camping near the blowhole is a lso a wonder. Even though campsites a re p rimitive and without running water, the cliffside camps possess magnificent views. For the camper w ho d oesn't w ant to drive too far into Mexico to find a panoramic spot, L a Bufadora is perfect. A few hours south o f L a Bufadora is t he small agricultural village o f S an Quintin. Her lush fields o f e very con_ceivable vegetable fill the eye. Some Mexi. cans claim that the valleys near San Quintin are as rich as California's S an J oaquin Valley: San Quintin also holds the finest beaches in Baja Norte.

Jet skiing on the Sea o f C ortez offers just this kind o f feeling to both amateur thrill seekers and die hard adventure mongers alike. W e found renting a j et ski in San Felipe to b e not only an exhilarating skip with nature, but also safe and comparatively (to American prices) inexpensive. In Mexico one o f the greatest thrills anyone can experience is the thrill o f a great bargain. The exhilaration found haggling for a better price is almost as great as the ride itself. W e found the best bargain to b e with Elvis, a San Felipe local who rents his machine out on a by-the-hour basis. Elvis originally quoted a price o f $ 40 per hour, but through the collective bargaining process we were able to gamer a $30 per . hour r ate- about half the hourly cost o f renting a j et ski in San Diego.

A t the end o f this stretch o f desert, the Sea o f C ortez unfolds with its electric blue waters and abundant sea life.

This is a good position for viewing the surroundings and gaining rest. STANDING UP: Standing up causes the jet ski to attain higher speeds. In this position, wave-jumping is possible. Standing up can be extemely exhausting as well as fantastically fun . �12 PIONEER/TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1990 EXPLORE Driving in Mexico made easy " There's no way I 'm taking my car down there." "Mexican drivers are crazy." " If your car breaks down in Mexico you die." "All Mexican roads are made o f dirt." "Mexican gas will destroy your engine." For the most part these concerns about driving in Baja California are based on common misconceptions. Driving in Mexico is actually as·easy and as carefree as in the United States. Travelers heading south down the peninsula will find nicely paved roads, plenty o f mechanics and help in case o f an automotive emergency. The first item a gringo driver should take care o f is automotive insurance. An American driver caught in an accident in Mexico will be held fully responsible for the incident i f he/she does not have insurance. Liability insurance can b e p urchased before crossing the border for as little as $3 per day. F or o nly. a few dollars more, full insurance coverage can be bought. Once over the border, it is best to avoid the traffic problems o f the Spectators look on as La Bufadora, a natural geyser, streams water 150 feet into the air.

The small village is so isolated that there arc no electrical lines, water pipes or phones. Electricity is provided in some o f the town's stores through a generator and water is trucked in daily. For a fee o f $70, adventurers can rent a 14-foot ponga (a small metal fishing boat) and take a d ay's excursion to the bay's islands. Such a trip should not be missed, as the bay is filled with dolphins, seals and even a gray whale or two. The islands are unpopulated and possess isolated coves idea for snorkeling or sun bathing au natural. They offer a glimpse o f a world untouched by man. Bahia de Los Angeles gives campers an opportunity to be truly one with nature. The best campsite in the entire area is located at a sma ll point at the end o f the bay called Punta La Gringa. Named after American women, who in the past frequented the area to gather shells and rocks, Punta L a Gringa is a veritable showcase o f nature. Here campers can live o ff the fat o f the land with little or no effort. Fish are so abundant in the crystalline bay that all one need d o t o survive is c ast a line out and reel in a bass. Butter clams are so plentiful in the bay that a bucket o f the shellfish can be gathered in less than an hour. Due to the abundance o f bird species, the point is a haven for naturalists, scientists and bird watchers. Blue-footed boobies, identical to those found in the Galapagos Islands, and ospreys share the skies with pelicans and sea gulls. Because o f its isolation, camping at Punta La Gringa has no showers or W.C.s, but for $2 campers can use facilities in the Villa Vitta Hotel, located in the village. Bahia de Los Angeles is only eight hours driving away from San Diego and truly represents Northern Baja to its full capacity. It is a location that any traveler would love. larger cities. Streets in Tijuana and Ensenada can become as congested as Southern California's freeways at rush hour. I f taking an . automobile into the cities is necessary, use defensive driving techniques. Drivers in Mexico are generally not in as much o f a hurry as drivers in the U.S. Be patient i f caught behind a slower driver and adapt to the slow pace rather than cursing it. Highways in Baja are nicely paved and well kept, but at times can be narrow and winding. The Transpeninsular Highway, which spans the length o f the peninsula is the finest Baja has to offer. Roads in small villages or drives leading to isolated hideaways may not necessarily be paved. I f car problems do occur on the highways, a federally-funded service called the Green Angels is provided. T he Green Angels constantly roam the highways in green service trucks. This complimentary service helps stranded travelers with .battery failures, fan belt breakages and whatever easily fixed problem might occur. Travelers should keep extra fan belts, air filters, oil filters a nd w ater on hand for extended journeys into Mexico. Even though the country is filled with qualified mechanics, parts are not always easy to c ome by. Waiting for a fan belt for a Toyota, for instance, could take weeks. Mexican gas is not as clean as the gasoline in the U.S. b ut a welltuned car can function well on it nonetheless. Cars needing unleaded fuel should take the gasoline labeled ' extra.' D ue to the high lead content in the gas, using other than ' extra' g asoline could result in serious damage to the catalytic converter. Gas additives should b e used after three tanks o f M exican gas. A quart o f c ane alcohol, available in Mexican drug o r l iquor stores should b e a dded to free the gas tank o f extra water. T he biggest safeguards for driving problems in Mexico is t o have a well-maintained automobile before the onset o f the journey. Double-check the tires, belts and filters before embarking and no minor problems should arise. witnessed some j et ski aficionados reaching heights o f six feet and attaining a nearly vertical position while airborne.

Turning donuts in the water while standing is almost as easy as a straight forward, full-thrott 1e run. For those less fortunate riders who fall o ff the machine, the j et ski has a built-in safety device. When a rider falls off, the vehicle slows to a crawl and circles the area where the passenger fell. Climbing back aboard is as easy as climbing onto a bicycle.

O NE DAY CRUISES T HE P ERFECT MINI GETAWAY Beating Moctezuma's Revenge Perhaps the biggest factor preven ting Americans from travelling in Me xico is the fear of Moc tezuma's Revenge. The ailment produces such sy mptoms as diarrhea, violent sto mach cramps and cold sweats tha t can tum any dream vacation in paradise into a nightmare in hell. But with a little common sense and a few precautions, travelers can enjoy Mexico ' s grandeur without fear o f the Aztec k ing's curse for gringo s. In order to prevent the ailment, one mu st have an elementary understanding o f the disease's transmission. Moctezuma's Revenge is simply the introduction o f bacteria indigenous to Mexico into the American body. The most common way these strains o f bacteria are introduced is through the drinking o f Mexican water o r the eating o f some food. According to Hidden Mexico, a traveler' s guide to Mexico, not all visitors come down with the illness. It is possible to cat like a king and not suffer any ill side effects. The book offers some suggestions on how to eat in peace: Fruits and nuts with peels are generally safe. Make sure all fruits and vegetables are cleansed with purified water before consumption. Meat, seafood, peeled fruit and drinks served at taco stands should be eaten with discretion. i f great numbers o f flies abound at a particular taco stand, it should be avoided. Food at these tacorias is generally safe and very tasty. G o easy on experimentation. Since many Mexican foods arc very spicy, it is not advisable to mix them too much. Take spicy foods one at a time and in moderate quantities. Drink only bottled water, known in Mexico as agua purifi- cado. A void drinks with ice unless the establishment where they arc served uses bottled water. Do not use tap water for brushing teeth . I fMoctezuma's Revenge does strike than a sparing dose o f Lomotil is advised. Lomotil is a morphine derivative which induces a kind o f intestinal paralysis. It is available all over Mexico and in the United States. Kaopectate or Pcpto-Bismol can reduce the discomfort o f stomach cramps and chamomile tea works wonders at soothing th e stomach. If Moctezuma persists with his torture for more than five days, a visit to a doctor is advised. The most important deterrent to the ailment, however, is attitude. Those who worry most about getting sick in Mexico ultimately are not disappointed. Use Mexico for relaxation and enjoy the great culinary dishes it has to offer.

With only a weekend and a minimal bank account, students can find a paradise o f relaxation only an hour away in Mexico. Those wishing to dance and party all night can find good times waiting for them at Tijuana's Avenida Revolucion. This main artery o f the Mexican border town is filled with Discotheques and flashy bars. Among the most popular and elaborate o f T J' s discos is O H!. OH! is usually packed to the video-lit rafters with fun-seeking college students. Here dancers can boogie the night fantastic to top disco hits. Just o ff Ave Revolucion is the low key nightclub L a B amba. This hole-in-the-wall disco offers contemporary music and their famous tequila poppers. T ijuana T illy's, also on Ave. Revolucion, has a less frenetic atmosphere indigenous to Carlos Anderson establishments. Unusual pictures and paraphernalia adorn the ceiling and walls in this popular gathering place. Tijuana Tilly's serves great food at reasonable prices and is famous for margaritas. Shoppers can find great bargains and a wide variety o f merchandise in the avenu e's many curios shops. Items such as cigarettes and alcohol can be bought for much cheaper prices than across the border. Be advised, however, that United States customs allow only two liters o f alcohol and two cartons o f cigarettes to cross into American territory. Sportsmen will find excitement in Tijuana's unusual spectator activities. Here sports not found in the U.S. are played in dynamic style. The drama and courage o f the bullfights is played every Sunday afternoon a t4 p .m. in the town ' s arena. Bullfighting is a Mexican tradition and should be seen at least once to get a real taste o f culture south o f the border. Bullfighting is as much a part o f Mexican culture as Football is to the culture o f the U.S . with matadors being national heros. J ai Alai is another offbeat sport not found in California. In this high-speed game, players fling a wooden ball at speeds in excess o f 200 miles per hour a t a cement wall. The game is filled with drama and paramutual betting adds to the excitement. Gamblers will love Agua Caliente. Caliente is T ijuana's version o f Del Mar and Hollywood Park. Here horses and dogs race year-round for the pleasure o f betters. South o f Tijuana in the little hamlet o f R osarito, visitors can find more docile forms o f relaxation. The small town is filled with mom and pop taco stands that serve burritos and tortas a t reasonable prices. Rosarito possesses wide, sandy beaches that are perfect for sunbathing and sometimes parasailing. The old Rosarito Beach Hotel is probabl}' the best known spot for sipping a cold, exotic drink and listening to mariachis. Years ago such greats as Lana Turner and Orsen Wells sipped coco locos or tequila sunrises on the old inn's patios. Lodging at the hotel is reasonable by American prices with some rooms containing kitchenettes. All o f the rooms are spacious with newer bungalos costing more money. A few miles south o f Rosarito is the lobster mecca o f P uerto Nuevo. Here dozens o f restaurants serving principally lobster can be found. For $8 a good sized lobster is served Mexican-style with rice and beans. Anyone craving crustaceans will find Puerto Nuevo magnifico. Between Puerto Nuevo and Ensenada lies the d unes o f C antamar. These beachside dunes resemble a scene from ' Lawrence o f Arabia' and are wonderful fodder for ATC riders and motorcyclists. One o f the best restaurants in Northern Baja is the one found at the L a F onda hotel. The restaurant is perched on a cliff overlooking white, sandy beaches. Specialties include lemon pie and lobster. Lodging at the L a Fonda hotel is unique and very romantic. Poems adorn the walls above the beds in some rooms, whereas other rooms resemble a cave. Prices at the hotel are moderate. At the fishing city o f E nsenada, travelers will find a thriving metropolis geared to the tastes o f tourists. Ensenada is known .for its fish taco stands which abound throughout the city. Ensenada is higher-paced than many towns but not nearly as chaotic as Tijuana. By far the most well-known spot in town is H ussong's C antina. This dive bar, reminiscent o f the old west, has wooden tables and floors covered with s awdust At night federales, or state police, are stationed outside the door to keep mayhem at a minimum. Carlos a nd C harlie's bar and grill is another Carlos Anderson creation similar to Tijuana Tilly's. Even though food prices are rather high, Carlos and Charlie's is rich in atmosphere suitable for Americans. Another hotspot in Ensenada is P apas a nd . JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER B eer. Huge baskets o f french fries, potato balls and potato skins are served with a great assortment o f Mexican beer. Ensenada is much less frantic for shoppers with curios shops in great supply. Along with bullfights, Ensenada also has sports fishing and c harreadas, o r rodeos. In S an F elipe, visitors can feast on the town's specialty o f clams and shrimp for pennies on the dollar. One o f B aja's most unusual restaurants is C lam M an's. Diners can munch on buckets o f tasty butter clams and listen to the late clam m an's patented spiel on the contributions o f the clam to the sex drive. Whale bones and dried fish adorn the restaurants decor to create an unusual and rustic atmosphere. Rockodile's is a video bar that reflects the fun o f this small tourist town. One part o f the cantina contains a volleyball net where tournaments are held on weekends. San Felipe is a paradise for sportfishing, windsurfing and j et skiing. The calm, warm water o f the bay is perfect for water sports. Just north o f San Felipe is a string o f gringo-oriented campsites for the more rugged traveler. These campos, with names like 'Campo Pee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' have showers, toilets and great ocean views. South ofEnsenada near the town o f Maneadera is the Mexican eighth wonder o f the world, L a B ufadora, otherwise known as the blowhole. La Bufadora is a natural sea geyser that sprays water 150 feet into the air with each lull o f the tide. Watching the phenomenon is free o f charge. At S an Q uintin motorcyclists and ATC riders will find dunes and wide, white beaches with which to test their skills. There are few eating establishments in San Quintin, but Americans can find a safe, hot meal a t the L a P inta resort hotel. L a Pinta rises like an oasis from the dunecovered beach, with reasonable nightly rates and comfortable lodgings. From B ahia d e L os Angeles, nature lovers can marvel in the full spectacle o f the Sea o f Cortez. From this tiny town visitors can rent boats for day-long excursions to the b ay's many islands. Renting a boat, o r ponga, is an essential activity for L.A. Bay visitors. The Bay is filled with dolphins, whales and seals. Fishing can yield such catches as dorado (otherwise known as Mahi Mahi o r dolphinfish), red snapper and bass. The shores o f the bay are rich in clam and oyster beds. �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1 990/PIONEER 15 "WIN TWO TICKETSto Knott's BERRYFARM" DRAWING MAIL THIS COUPON TO: PIONEER, Knott's Drawing 250-2 S.

Cajun Connection food as good as Orleans In the expanding world o f fish restaurants and steak houses, fmding an original and exciting eatery can b e ·a challenge. The Cajun_ Connection, located at 740 Nordahl Rd. in San Marcos, is one fo'sure way to beat the bland blues. I guarantee it. Here is an island o f Louisiana hospitality in an ocean o f fa st food joints. Patrons can listen to the southern sounds o f z ydoko music and munch on Mississippi-area delicacies in a light atmosphere sprinkled with a touch o f elegance. Collegiate Gourmet The food at Cajun Connection is as good as that found in New Orleans itself. From appetizers to desserts, the Collegiate Gourmet found all dishes irresistibly different and stimulating to the palate. I started my meal with an appetizer o f fried alligator. Gator is a tender meat with a very slight musky flavor. Fried with a light, crunchy cornmeal coating and served with a zesty horseradish sauce, the gator has just enough bite to wake up the salivary glands. Another outstanding appetizer is the fried oysters. Once again the cornmeal brings out the best flavors o f the dish. For added pleasure, I found that a touch o f Louisiana hot sauce accents these tender morsels perfectly. Chicken and sausage gumbo is also available fo r those who want a real taste o f New Orleans. Each dinner is served with a simple, green salad and garlic bread. I found the house dressmg to be quite refreshing. With aliberal content o f lemon, this dressing is quite' zesty and very flavorful. From blackened steak to crawfish fettuccini, the menu has S TACEY S MITH /PIONEER Gator Bee r, T abasco sauce and craw fi sh are some of the d e li cacies found at The Cajun Conn ection in San Marcos. At th is restaurant, diners can eat exotic New Orleans-style dishes in an atmosphere brimming with Southe rn c harm. enough diversity in selection to please any diner. On my last trip I tried the frog legs as my main course selection. This delicacy is very tender and possesses a slightly fishy flavor. Served fried with alligator shaped french fries, the frog legs make for a pleasing and light main course that will make you jump for joy. My personal favorite main dish is the catfish courtboullion. This fresh-water fish has a mild taste that is perfect with just a touch oftabasco. It is fried to a delicate crunch, served on a bed o f rice and topped with seasonal vegetables. It is a definite must try! When available, the Cajun Connection also serves a Louisiana-style plate o f crawfish. Not only are these mini-crustaceans flavorful, they are also a great eating adventure. Those diners who enjoy a new and exciting domestic beer will be pleased to find three uncommon brews on the menu. O f the three, Dixie Beer, from New Orleans, has the most pleasing flavor and is a great compliment to the cajun food fare. At all costs avoid the Gator Beer. This Florida brew has a sour offensive bouquet that assaults the senses. Wine lovers will find a pleasing variety o f California white and red varietals. An absolute must-try dessert is the bread pudding. This rich delight is filled with pineapple and golden raisins and is smothered in a warm brown sugar syrup I t is undeniably the best bread pudding in North County. The service is casual but amiable. A t times the owner, and chef, makes personal visits to diners and is always in the mood to s uggest a new and exciting taste creation. Prices are moderate to expensive with dinner for two costing around $45. T he Cajun Connection is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 :30p.m., Saturdays from 3-9:30 p.m. and Sundays from 3-9 p.m. All ;n all, i t's a g reat place to take an adventurous date. Y 'all a re gonna love it. Robert Smith radiates in 'Blue Sunshine' album D AVID H ATCH /PIONEER Cure fans relax! Just when you thought you would need to resort to old recordings, Robert Smith is back as strong and as vague as ever with newly released material and a new band, called The Glove, in his album "Blue Sunshine." This time h e's got help from former "Siouxsie and the Banshees" lead singer Landray. A couple formed in Heaven? I t would seem so. Landray's dis- tinctive and frantic-sounding vocals combined with Smith's dark and often-analyzed lyrics add up to form a very haunting couple. They could very well be the "Addams Family" o f the music world. To analyze lyrics or even point out their symbolisms when dealing with Smith is redundant, redundant, redundant. E verywhere y ou t urn, S mith's lyrics are subjected to intense analysis. Smith has diverged on this recording and performed two instrumental pieces. The first is "Blues in Drag," which concludes the ftrst side o f the album.

Due to the failure of a key measure in last semester's student election's, the newly formed student government began its duties with no money. To gain capital for its first semester budget and to qualify for incorporation, the A.S. turned to the University Foundation for financial assistance. The Foundation responded with a loan of $12,920 to the A.S., with a planned repayment over the next three semesters. The Associated Students are planning fund-raisers and promoting the passage of ballot measures next semester to collect fees for loan repayment and Spring 1992 operational fees. "During the summer, the A.S. Council devised a strategy to find a way to get funds for operations,'' said A.S. President Jose Chapman. Lack of funds for the A.S. became apparent after a measure on the spring ballot enabling student governmentto collect student fees failed to be passed. Even though a measure assessing a $ 15 fee to students gained narrow support by the voting population, the fees could not be collected without the passing of an enabling measure. A ccording t o C hapman, t he e nabling measure's failure was due to difficulty in understanding the wording of the measure on the ballot. He said the language was confusing enough that students were not entirely sure on what they were voting. Wording for the measure came directly from Title V, a document which sets guidelines on how student governments in California are to operate. Some students indicated during the elections that they were not clear on the purpose of the measure. Chapman said the A.S. Council worked during the summer to clarify and summarize the wording of the Title V measure so students will better understand its meaning. The enabling measure along with the previous measure assessing student fees will be reintroduced to the students in an October election. Executive VicePresidentof CSUSM,Richard Rush, who sits on the Foundation's board, said helping the A.S. get on its feet was a way for the Foundation to help support the university community. "The Foundation is a non-profit organization which supports the university by generating, receiving and administering funds for the university," Rush said. The Foundation is a self-supporting organization which receives funding through gifts and donations. Approximately 70 people who have donated $5,000 are recognized as founders. Additional monies were garnered from grants and corporate donations. Population almost doubles Student ethnicity low; faculty diversity high The more things change, the more they stay the same. Even though Cal State San Marcos' student population recorded a 43 percent increase, it has grown little in terms of ethnic diversity. CSUSM's faculty profile, on the other hand, reflects a degree of ethnic diversity that tops both nationwide and Cal State system averages. The student population reached 1,114 as of August 27 with 730 students qualifying for Full Time Equivalent (FTE) status. In order to qualify for FTE status, a student must hold IS units or more. Michael Yee, of the Office of Admissions and Records, says the number of FTE students falls short of projections. " We're still under the number of students we would like," Yee says. The university was hoping for 750 FTE students. FTE is a determining factor for state funding. Women continue to dominate the population of CSUSM, comprising 61 percent of the total enrollment. The female enrollment is down from 74 percent last semester. The avetage age of students still looms at 29. " We're looking at reentry women at this age, rather than the typical college cohort" said Vice SEE GROWTH/PAGE A12 Gender Ethnicity Comparison between CSUSM students, faculty and national faculty enthnic breakdowns. • STUDENT CAUCASI0N: 73% • FACULTY CAUCASI0N: 59% • NATIONAL CAUCASI0N: 90% Eligibility 46% CONTINUING STUDENTS SOURCES: Admissions & Records, President's Office g raphics by J ONATHAH Y OUNG I I STUDENTS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ l FACULTY NATION �N ews B riefs Designers get seal of approval Graphics Solutions, a full service graphic design and sign planning firm, has been retained to provide design concepts, working drawings and bid specs for the "Founders Seal" to be inset in the paving of the Founders' Plaza at the permanent CSU San Marcos campus. The bronze and terrazzo seal will include symbolic imagery representing the founding of the university: the initial three colleges, the school's mission statement and names of the one hundred initial founders," said Simon Andrews, Graphic Solutions' Principal. The permanent campus is scheduled to open in 1992. College of Education offers new course The College of Education has announced the addition of "Education 471, The Secondary School," this fall as a service to students who want to get their undergraduate degrees here and enter a Single Subject Credential Program at San Diego State University. This course is a required pre-requisite for the SDSU program that is impacted on their campus. The Director of Teacher Education at SDSU has confirmed that this new class will be accepted as a substitute for their course. This is the only time this course will be offered during the 1991-92 academic year. Next semester, the College will offer another prerequisite course in multicultural education. Shuttle Service Discontinued During the 1990 spring semester, Library Services subsidized a van which shuttled students to the SDSU Love Library up to nine time a week. Because only 14 students utilized this service andduetoeconomic reasons, the Library has discontinued the service. Spanish proficiency added In January, 1994, Cal State San Marcos will implement a new factor in admitting students to all credential programs in the College of Education. At that time and thereafter, the College will ask applicants to describe their facility in Spanish and it will be a factor in making admission decisions. The College of Education will not require that all admitted students know Spanish, but it will be one of a number of factors taken into account in the admission process. Volunteers needed Volunteers are needed to help with Cal State San Marcos* first International Festival scheduled for Oct. 27. Those students interested should contact the Vice President of Student Services Office in Bldg. 125. The festival was established by a donation from Itoman & Compant Ltd., which announced a $500,000 endowment to the college for the establishment of the event. The money will be apportioned out in $50,000 increments over the next 10 years. Scholarship information available Scholarship information for Cal State San Marcos students is maintained in the reception area of the Scholarship and Financial Aid office, now located in building 800. Students are invited to stop by and research scholarship opportunities. As new scholarship information becomes available, notices will be posted in Pioneer.

Campus Construction Work on permanent site continues after setbacks tightened schedule LARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER After suffering from a prolonged contractor's dispute and heavy March rains, construction of Phase I on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus off Twin Oaks Valley Road may not be completed by the fall 1992 deadline. Phase I includes the $14 million Craven Hall, an academic core consisting of one lecture hall and a laboratory facility and the c ampus' physical plant, which will house receiving and handling. "It's too tight to call right now," said Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. "The project lost three and a half months with the contractor's dispute." In September, construction on the nearly $50 million project ground to a halt after grading subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay them 1.3 million for work already completed at the site. Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site in October and replaced with Lusardi Construction Company. Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left the ground too muddy thereby hindering progress. "The ground under Craven Hall was so saturated, we had vehicles getting stuck in the mud," Amado cited. "We lost some time there." Construction projects typically experience weather delays, said Amado, but having lost valuable time in the contractor's dispute, much of the construction schedule's buffer time was lost. Amado said Lusardi recently completed its function of preparing the site, putting the project back on schedule. "We're pleased with the quality of work done by Lusardi," Amado said. Already the campus' main drive is completed with water, reclamation, electric and gas lines installed. Trees with activated irrigation systems are in place and buildings are beginning to rise and take shape. Four different contractors are working concurrently on the project, adding further complexity to the building task. Amado said the contractors have been working well to coordinate their tasks with other contractors. Foundations for the lecture and lab buildings are almost complete, said Amado. Meanwhile, workers are almost finished with theframeworkand deck systems in the lab building. This week steel frame construction is set to begin on Craven Hall and will continue for six weeks. The six-story Craven Hall will be the first "feature building" on the campus and will house all of the $2 million in computer systems used to run the first phase of the campus. It will also serve as the campus library and house administration. Craven Hall set construction bidding standards for the new campus whenBodellConstructionofSaltLake City, bid $1.4 million below the buildings budgeted c ost Amado said at the low-bidding trend should continue throughout the entire construction project. The university is in the process of seeking cladding materials and concrete for Craven Hall's stucco finish.

Psychological stress increases cold risk Welcome back and I hope you all had a healthy summer break. The lack of summer which I frequently bemoaned was probably beneficial to our skin, but definitely made it seem like summer never started. However, I hope it didn't interfere with your ability to get rejuvenated for another academic year. Beginning a new academic year, I realize, can be very stressful with school, work and other adjustments which brings me to write about yet another effect of stress. A recent study in New England Journal ofMedicine supports the debatable contention that emotional health affects physical health. I for one think people all too frequently attribute physical health problems to stress but this study makes a very strong case. Specifically the study provides evidence that psychological stress is associated with an increased risk of acquiring the common cold. With the consent of the participants, the researches gave them nose drops with five of the 20 common cold viruses. They then monitored them for common symptoms. They also underwent extensivephysical and psychological testing and questioning about health habits. The end result was that people with high levels of psychological stress were twice as likely to develop colds and even with less severe stress there is still an increase in risk to HEALTHNOTES BY D R. J OEL GRINOLDS develop a cold. Other factors that increase susceptibility such as age, diet, smoking, exercise, etc. could not explain away that increased risk. Nobody knows the precise mechanism by which stress changes one's defenses against infectious diseases but this study definitely supports the case that stress alters our immune response. How one can handle stress to stay healthy is not exactly known, but I will write about that in future columns. As you know atHealth Services, we see students for many other reasons then stress related disorders. We are going to be available three days a week this semester and have new staff. Lisa Estelle is now a mother of a healthy boy, Sean, and is being a fulltime parent Stop by Health Services to become acquainted with the new hours and new staff. Dr. Joel Grinolds is chief physicial for Cal State San Marcos.

Millman received his Ph.D. from Cornell University and his B.S. in Mathematics from MIT. He has authored three books on mathematics and has published over 35 articles on mathematical subjects. As Academic Vice President, Millman is responsible for all academic planning and programs at the university. This year Cal State San Marcos saw the addition of two new m ajors.

We will be offering a wide variety of majors ranging from the standard ones like Biology, Chemistry and English to some less standard ones, perhaps including things like Criminal Justice. We will explore the eventuality of Engineering. We are a comprehensive university and will be in the year 2000, so we will cover all of the Bachelor's degrees and we will also have Master's degrees in those areas where it is justified by demand by local area businesses, by student demand and by intellectual demand. RICHARD MILLMAN/ACADEMIC VICE PRESIDENT Any sign of when more M aster's degree programs a re to begin? Within the next five years. We anticipate having two Master's degrees programs very soon.

Do you think instructors should use originality in exercising the r equirement? There are lots of different ways to get students to write in class. One is to have free writing, where students can write whatever they're thinking about Students can write by listening to the professor talk in the class then in the last ten minutes of class the professor says, 'tell me what I've just told you.' What the professor will learn from that is enormous. The professor will learn what the students have trouble with very spontaneously. The alternative to that is to let the students go home and think about what they've just heard in class and for the next session write a paragraph or two explaining what they've just heard. That's another way of really learning the material in the class that both the students and the professor learn from. The idea of writing a 10-page paper is also an excellent one. Sometimes ideas that have been around for a long time are excellent. Innovation is not synonymous with quality. When you get out in the real world, that's what you are going to be doing a lot, no matter what your discipline is. The multi-draft format that professor have used, where the paper the student has done is given back with comments all over it and a note asking to redo it, is a very effective learning tool for the students. Each individual university has its own reputation f or something. San Diego State has its football team; MIT has engineering. How's CSUSM going to find its niche? We're going to find our niche by the strength of our faculty and the successes of our students. We have already achieved a niche in the quality of our undergraduate program by looking at the curriculum. We are in the process, of course, of operationalizing that. I don't know of any university that requires 2,500 words for every course. The language requirement for all students; the incredible emphasis on internationalism both in the general education and in the major; the emphasis on diversity are all important for shaping the university. At this time do you think that CSUSM is meeting its Mission statement? Very much so. The Mission statement has guided us in every way through the curriculum; through recruitment; our faculty and our staff; and through the computer-literacy requirement which we are in the process of operationalizing.. If the p ermanent campus doesn't open in the fall of 1992, how will the academic plan be affected?

C a m p u s H istory Highlights of construction on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site on Twin Oaks Valley Road: C ONTINUED F ROM P AGE A 3 Amado said construction on the physical plant is also moving along well. The physical plant facility is expected to be completed in November. In 60-90 days after the building's completion, group and equipment move-in can begin. While construction continues at the campus site, the City of San Marcos is working on a project of its own. A six-lane roadway between the new college's main entrance and the freeway is now under construction. Amado said he anticipates the construction to continue until 1993. Storm drains and an underground 69 kv powerline will run beneath the road that will be a major artery for the city's Heart of the City project The Heart of the City project consists of 1,600 acres of land including the university that will be completely controlled in terms of architecture and landscape. The project will be designed around CSUSM's Mediterranean style to give the feel of a university village. Amado said the campus construction project is bound to run into some snags, but that he is trying to minimize problems as they arise. " We're reacting as quickly as possible to contractor questions," he said. "By the time we roll around to the rainy period, we should be completely out of the ground." If construction continues past the fall 1992 scheduled opening date, Amado said the decision of when to move on to the site will come from to this new community. The bill, signed here on campus, gave the university its name and established it as the twentieth CSU school in the state. Happy Birthday CSUSM. Watch out world, we're into the terrible twos. 1990 • Fe& 23: Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy, along with the university's founding faculty, held the groundbreaking ceremonies at the permanent site, starting Phase I. • Aug. 26: CSUSM welcomed its first students. • November: It is reported that construction costs for Phase I jumped 20 percent due to unexpected amounts of rocks and DDT on the campus site. Construction on the site set the construction schedule two months behind. • Nov. 27: Bids were accepted for Craven Hall, the first feature building on the campus. Bodell Construction from Salt Lake City, Utah, won the bids at $14,325,000, $1.4 million under budget. The highest of the 11 bidders still came $200,000 under the $15.8 million budgeted for the building. The bidding set a president for future projects. • October: Construction on the campus grounded to a halt due to contractual dispute between General Contractor Louetto Construction and grading subcontractor C.W.Poss. Poss officials claim that Louetto was delinquent in paying them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site. • November: The university terminated Louetto from its contractual responsibilities due to the contractor dispute. Lusardi Construction, a San Marcos-based company, was awarded the interim contract to replace Louetto. 1991 J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER A construction worker traverses steel beams on the permanent campus' lab building. CSUSM President Bill Stacy. In the meantime, the university is moving forward in seeking funding in Sacramento for Phase II. The phase will service 5,000 students. Amado said the second phase has already been delayed by at least one year due to the failure of Proposition 143 on last November's ballot The Proposition would have added $10 million in revenues to CSUSM that would have been used for furniture and the acquisition of books for the library's core collection. • Feb. 6: Stacy guided Senator Gary Hart on a tour of the campus to explain budget problems with future phases of construction. Although Phase I was already budgeted and paid for, funds for other phases was to come from the failed Proposition 143. • March 4: Construction began on Craven Hall. • March 5: Construction began on the Academic Core. • March: Although some considered the rain the "March Miracle," the excess water caused problem with construction on campus. Weather delays were scheduled in, but all buffer time had been used with the previous year's contractual disputes. SOURCE: Pioneer records �It R 0 U B L E S W IT H Board of Supervisee axes incinerator while trash piles up in local landfill Last month, the county Board of Supervisors dumped San Marcos' plans for a $325 million trash-to-energy incinerator. With the demise of the trash plant, North County is scrambling to find a resting home for its refuse. The county landfill currently spans 73 acres in the city of San Marcos and rises 750 feet. Plans to expand the landfill to 209 acres were voted on by the San Marcos City Council on July 14, but without their trash-to-energy plant, San Marcos may revoke the decision. San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau says the landfill expansion was contingent upon the passing of the incinerator. For now, North County cities will continue to dump at the landfill. But even if the landfill expansion is approved again by the City Council, San Marcos could possibly revoke land-use permits forcities other than San Marcos. " I'm g oing to protect my c ity," cites Thibadeau. Since the landfill is expected to reach capacity by the end of the year, all of North County's cities will be left without a local place to dump their refuse, unless the city expands the existing site. Thibadeau says that if San Marcos approves the expansion plan, he wants to limit the landfill's use to his city and adjacent unincorporated areas only. Although the County owns the land, they cannot run the landfill without special permits from the city of San Marcos. "The only way they can legally expand the landfill is if we allow a permit," Thibadeau says. "We might not do that." * However, Escondido Mayor Jerry Harmon says San Marcos has no legal right to deny use of the landfill to anyone. " I think legally they (San Marcos) are not in the position to do that," Harmon says. "San Marcos does not have legal authority to operate the landfill." Thibadeau claims that with the right permit, the county can still operate the landfill just for San Marcos. "The county doesn't have to take care of every city's trash." Thibadeau and a majority of the San Marcos City Council have officially shown support for the trash-to-energy plant since 1985. Trash plant history laced with controversy The incinerator saga began in 1981 when the county signed an agreement with Herzog Contracting Corp. to operate the San Marcos landfill and have exclusive rights to develop a trash-toenergy plant at the site. Since that time rights went to North County Resource Recovery Associates, a jointly owned subsidiary of Thernio Electron Corporation and SCA Services. In 1984, Thermo Electron lost SCA Services as a partner and worked with three other partners until 1990. Opposition to the incinerator began in 1984, when North County C oncerned C itizens (NCCC), filed the first of more than a dozen lawsuits challenging the trash plant. The group, consisting mostly of residents in the Elfin Forest area of San Marcos, was concerned over environmental impacts of the p lant Citizens for Healthful Air in San Marcos (CHASM) joined the NCCC in opposition to the project. In 1985 CHASM garnered enough signatures to put the issue before the v otes in April of that year. The petition was later thrown out by a Vista Superior Court judge. The issue wasfinallybrought to the voters in September of 1987 by the City Council. The approval to build the incinerator was granted by a narrow margin of 229 votes. After the vote, Carlsbad, Escondido and Encinitas filed a suit to block the trash plant's construction. The cities cited economical and environmental reasons. In 1988, the three cities filed another suit challenging the trash plant; five additional suits were filed by other parties in the same year. Thibadeau says plant is safe. According to Thibadeau, the incinerator STORY SEE TRASH/PAGE A9 BY JONATHAN YOUNG & LARRY B0ISJ0LIE �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1991/PIONEER T RASH CONTINUED FROM PAGE A9 would have fallen within state air pollution control guidelines. "There's no environmental issues for the incinerator, i t's economical," says Thibadeau. Paul Connett, a chemistry professor at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., and an expert in trash-to-energy plants, says that incinerators do pose significant environmental problems as well as environmental ones. Connett was brought to the area by the NCCC to help fight the p roject "Not only will this thing be a financial nightmare for the citizens of this community for the next 20 years, but the current environmental dangers of this incinerator are not being addressed," he says. Connett says trash incinerators release high levels of dioxins and mercury into the skies. One-third of a gram of mercury can contaminate a lake the size of Lake San Marcos. Connett says incinerators usually pump out250,000 grams of the substance per year. Economical feasibility doubted Even though disputes rage over the environmental impact ofa trash-to-energy plant, another argument is ensuing over its economical feasibility. " I'm opposed to the incinerator primarily because i t's not the best economical solution," says Harmon. ' There's cheaper, less expensive ways to handle the trash problem." He says the rising cost of the trash plant NEWS T m opposed to the incinerator r R O U B L E S primarily because it's not the best economical solution.

WITH ITOSi SDG&E opts to dissolve contract In 1983, San Diego Gas and Electric signed an agreement to buy powerproduced at the trash p lant 'There's no environmental issues for the incinerator, it's economical. This is the most economical way to solve the problem.' LEE THIBADEAU, SAN MARCOS MAYOR JERRY HARMON, ESCONDIDO MAYOR would be absorbed by the taxpayers and not Thermo Electron. Connett says existing trash plants are economical nightmares for taxpayers. He cites a case in Warren County, N J., where resident were promised a $37 per ton tipping fee but ended up paying $98 per ton. Cost for the proposed trash plant already has risen from an originally estimated $100 million to $325 million. "This is the most economical way to solve the problem," Thibadeau says about trash p lant He says that a potential landfill site off of Twin Oaks Valley Road just north of Deer Springs Road would cost taxpayers more money per year than the trash-to-energy p lant The 550-acre proposed landfill site would cost $200 million and be operational for 16. years, whereas the incinerator, costing $125 million more* would be open for 30 years. In addition, the incinerator would produce 303 million watts per hour per year of electricity. A9 Citing that the agreement would force the utility to pay $46 million more than it would to buy power from other sources, SDG&E filed a request to dissolve the contract Thermo Electron says that the ensuing rate hike for electricity consumers in San Diego County would amount to only $ 1 to $2 annually per household. If the contract is dissolved, the county would have to pay even more money to build the plant. Another concern facing the county's Supervisors was whether North County cities would try to starve the incinerator by not bringing their garbage to San Marcos. At the time of last month's vote, eight North County cities indicated they would not use the trash-to-energy facility because they oppose the incinerator idea. In order for the proposed incinerator to operate, it requires 625,000 tons of trash per year. The county would have been required to provide the necessary amount of trash or pay a penalty fee to Thermo Electron. Trash transfer centers planned In addition to the trash-to-energy plant, a trash transfer center was planned also at the site. The transfer center would separate recyclable garbage from non recyclable trash before the incineration process. Recyclables would then be sent to recycling centers. The county wants seven of the transfer centers to be built throughout the area. Four cities, Escondido, Carlsbad, San Marcos and Vista have already said they will accept transfer centers if they are proven to be economically feasible. The city of Vista has reviewed the proposal but have already come across opposition from residents. "Anything you want to do is with a lot of opposition," says Bernie Rappaport, Vista City Council member. Rappaport said that once the centers are in place they will not be noticed. "Once they get it put in, no one notices i t's there. I t's just the thought that causes all the havoc," he says. An article in National Geographic cites that as much as 67 percent of all solid waste in landfills i s recyclable. Unfortunately, there is little current market for recycled products. Surpluses of recycled paper, for instance are overflowing. "There is no market for recyclables," says Thibadeau. "The curbside material ends up in kinko's^f^f the copy center *' ™ w. m Mams m .

Clark said there are still a few Arts and Science faculty members not gathered with their other College colleagues. With two Colleges staying in Building 125, one College moved. "College of Education moved to Building 135," Clark said. The Library, Computer Labs, and the Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents remain in Building 135. Along with the College of Education, the Associated Students moved into Building 135 where the Writing Center was last semester. With the Writing Center moved to a smaller space in the Library, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, expressed concerns over the loss of the old location. Mendoza said the Writing Center serviced over 300 students last semester. He said he was concerned over whether the smaller space can accommodate so many students. "It is unfortunate that we lost such a valuable multipurpose teaching facility," Mendoza said. Mendoza recognized the importance of student government and the need to have its office located in an accessible place on campus, but said he will be forced to seek a larger space that will accommodate more students. In addition to finding a room for the student government, the Student Affairs Office and the A.S. made it possible for other student groups to get offices.

"We now have space for Career Planning and Placement and School Relations." The Bookstore, Health Services and the Student Lounge stayed in Building 800. One group, however, did get moved off campus. Due to the lease specifications and other city codes, the science department moved into a new laboratory facility on San Marcos Boulevard. "The science complex has five faculty offices, two classrooms, a major instructional lab and a prep room," Farris said. "I love i t," said Larry Cohen, founding faculty in biology. ' The identity of a scientist is tied to a lab. This gives us a home where we feel like faculty."

"Even if you don't have a vehicle, you can get there in half a hour by walking," he said. " It'll b e interesting to see if people get into exercise (by walking there)."

Besides the two classrooms in the lab facility, on-campus classrooms are in Building 145 and Building 800. "Our goal was to have everything in place and settled in by the time classes started,'* Clark said, " ...and there's a lot to get ready just in the classrooms." She said everything from desks to batteries in the clocks had to b e arranged for the 17 classrooms. To assist with morale on campus during the move, July was proclaimed Moving Madness Month. Dress codes included T-shirts and jeans and several theme days were planned. "It was good for everyone," Clark said. "It made people relaxed with everything that was going on.

We have accreditation right now, but since we are so new we couldn't even apply for unconditional accreditation. We have some very exciting opportunities in international education.

Board should approve trash centers Unless the San Marcos incinerator plant rises from the ashes like the legendary Phoenix, something else possibly might Upon approval by the San Marcos City Council, a 200-foot mountain of trash will grow from an already 750-foot tall landfill near Elfin Forest. The garbage pile, known as Mount Trashmore by nearby residents, will expand horizontally 230 acres, possibly crippling businesses and blocking the ocean views of those living in the area. County officials are concerned that the landfill might contaminate ground water, thus endangering wildlife and public health. It is a misconception held by many that biodegradables in landfills eventually break down.

A T HOUGHTS "He that lies with dogs, rises with fleas." GEORGE HERBERT At the end of last semester I heard tell of something that has caused my spleen to fester the entire summer. It's not that I know what a spleen does or where it is exactly, but I am sure that it is an internal organ that has something to do with blood. It was at that period of the school year when evaluations were passed out in classes and students were awarded the opportunity to gauge the instructional abilities of their professors that my ailment began. Upon hearing that evaluations from the previous semester were virtually ignored by the administration, a group of students approached a dean to inquire about the reasons for the snub. Among other things, the dean replied that, in some cases, first-semester evaluations amounted to little more than a popularity contest and that students may have been coerced into writing positive evaluations by instructors eager to return. The dean also stated (and correctly so) that the university was not obligated to use the evaluations for personnel rehiring. It was also stated by the Academic Senate that the evaluations were not of acceptable quality. In the case of some top-notch professors, there was no effort made by the administrative powers-that-be to discover how competent their classroom performances were. ations contend that some instructors were little more than participants in a popularity contest?

For those of you returning, I welcome you all back from your brief respite. This year promises to be one of transition, to say the least. As it goes with new organizations, and the university is no exception, there will be growing pains at all levels. We the students will not be immune to the difficulties associated with such a process. For many of us, being here at CSl TSM during its infancy can be both an exciting time as well as a time of considerable apprehension. As a result, I wish to instill in all of you to be prepared for the unexpected. You will be part and parcel to the changes that our university will experience. But, you have, through your vigilance and campus involvement, the ability to assist in the developmental process of this university and to deal with the unexpected. What do I mean by assisting in the developmental process? Well, one specific thought comes to mind, student government involvement The A.S. is the representative student organization on campus. Without the sponsorship of the A.S., no campus clubs will be officially recognized, nor can any student-sponsored campus events take place. In addition to the A.S., involvement in the Pioneer and the Yearbook are two noteworthy leadership organizations. The Pioneer provides adopted its Constitution and Articles of Incorporation. The student body also voted in its first A.S. Council. Twelve members representing the three colleges and the at-large positions took the first step into the unknown.

The exhibits have enjoyed earthshaking popularity , increasing the attendance at some museums many times over. Attendance at the Louisiana Nature and Science Museum, for instance, grew from an average 18,000 visitors to 275,000 during the fivemonth Dinamation exhibit. The Cleveland Museum ofNatural History also experienced dramatic attendance increases during the display's run. It saw an increased attendance of 287,000 in a four month period. he Dinamation story began nearly a decade ago when 47year-old Chris Mays, a pilot working for TWA, decided that flying commercial airplanes wasn't mentally taxing enough. Mays quit the airlines and opted to seek new opportunities. "I was bored for a number of years flying airplanes," Mays says. "I wasn't using creative energies." From a neighbor, Mays discovered robotized dinosaurs on public display in Japan. He also found that the company which produced the dinosaurs was putting some of its creatures up for sale. Mays mentioned the discovery to neighbor Tom Stifter, who suggested that he buy the robots for resale in the United States. Mays followed his neighbor's advice and Dinamation was born. The first group of Japanese dinosaurs cost Mays $500,000. "We looked for ways to display the dinosaurs. We thought of displaying them in fairs and malls," Mays says. "Our last thought was to travel around and display them in tents." However, even the best laid plans of mice and iguanodons run into snags. Mays found the market for his Japanese-constructed dinosaurs to be slim. He finally decided on selling the robots to museums, but budget cuts in the early 1980s forced them to turn T down Mays' products. Museums were also not convinced that mechanical dinosaurs would be accepted by the sceptical public or the scientific community. After Mays donated the presence of a half-sized triceratops to the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History to provide background for its annual dinosaur ball, he hatched the idea of running joint-venture displays with museums. "I knew then and there which direction to go," he says. By renting dinosaur exhibits to museums, Mays found a way to launch a multi-million dollar company while giving the public a chance to view representations of the prehistoric p ast Renting dinosaurs isn't cheap, but the exhibits turned out to be a major attraction for museums. The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh paid more than $150,000 to Dinamation for a 14-week exhibit which boosted attendanceby hundreds of percentage points. Unfortunately the Japanese dinosaurs lacked scientific accuracy. They were little more scientifically accurate than Godzilla. On urgings from a "friendly museum director," Mays decided that he would build his own dinosaurs. He enlisted a panel of advisers which included some of thé world's top paleontologists to help him design more scientifically accurate models. Among the paleontologists were: Robert Bakker, adjunct curator of Paleontology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, George Callison, professor of Biology at Cal State Long Beach; Craig Black, the director of the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum; and H arley Armstrong, curator of Paleontology at the Museum of Western Colorado in Grand Junction. By May of 86, May opened a plant to construct his own dinosaurs. he process of building the dinosaur fantastic begins with the board of advisers. The paleontologists discuss whether to add to or improve existing displays or create T Museum explores previous, current prehistoric skull reconstructions How do scientists know what a prehistoric man or woman looked like just by examining a fossil skull or a few bone fragments? This question is explored in detail in a new exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Man called "FacesonFossils: The Reconstruction of Human Ancestors" running through January, 1992. The exhibition, a collaboration between artist William Munns of Altered Images, Inc., and the San Diego Museum of Man, explains old and new methods of reconstruction and how the process has developed over the years. Historical studies feature the Museum's 1915 collection of drawings and sculptures emphasizing how social prejudices often shaped the scientific interpretations. Examples include Piltdown Man (the infamous anthropological hoax), Neanderthal Man, and Java Man. % Explanation of the modern process shows the clay reconstruction of A Dinamation worker helps sculpt the head of "Big Rex," the company's life-sized robotic a fossil skull in four stages: first as the bare skull, second with basic muscumodel of a Tyrannosaurus rex. lature, third with cartilage and skin, and fourth as a complete depiction of new exhibits featuringadifferent view tologist Callison. of the many facets of prehistoric life.

Prehistoric San Diego is the focus of a new temporary exhibition showing through Nov. 3 at the San Diego Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. A vast collection of fossil remains, representing 76 million years of San Diego natural history, will take visitors back to a world when dinosaurs roamed the earth, man didn't exist, and the area was completely underwater. The exhibit displays fossils from five different geologic time periods. The Cretaceous (76 m illion years ago) is the oldest time period and includes the remains of a hadrosaur, nodosaur and several species of marine invertebrates. These specimens were found in the Carlsbad area. The Eocene Epoch (40-50 million years ago), containing the remains of tapirs, rhinoceros and primates, represents fossils throughout North County. The East Lake region of eastern Chula Vista is where many of the specimens of the Oligocene Epoch (28 million years ago) were found. These include the remains of camels, oreodonts, birds and reptiles. The Pliocene Epoch (2-3 million years ago) contains the largest number of fossil remains, most of which were excavated in the Chula Vista area. Whales walrus, sharks and sea birds are just some of the specimens on display. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is where species from the Pleistocene Epoch (900,000-1.3million years ago) were excavated. They include examples of ice age mammals; mammoth, bear and saber c at "It is important to note," says Tom Demere, Museum paleontologist, "that many of these fossils represent remains of species new to science.

How did they really live? Don't look toward the new show 'Dinosaurs' for any correct answers. According to the new ABC show, these enormous reptiles seem to represent a mixture of the main characters in the 'Honeymooners' and the 'Flintstones.' This show reeks of erroneous information and character ripoffs. Earl Sinclair (remember the green Sinclair dinosaur?) is a domestic "father dinosaur" that has a personality and stomach s imilar to Ralph Kramden's and Fred Flintstone's. Earl's wife, Frances, stays home and continually begs him for money, just like Alice Kramden and Wilma Flintstone, while Earl's friend, Roy, is exactly like Ed Norton, tall and skinny, and always cajoling his best buddy. Unlike real dinosaurs, these dinosaurs behave and dress like modern humans. They live in houses with modern conveniences, have-jobs, and their problems parallel human ones. ReVÎeW Pushing trees down for a living, Earl works for a company that develops land for dinosaur housing. Earl, like most every other worker in America, cannot seem to meet the financial demands of the family In a recent show, Earl reminisces about life before family, where he would have eaten his children and not worried about finances and responsibilities. Earl decides to go back to his past, the forest During the program, Earl leaves his home for the safety of the forest, where his ancestors lived, but cannot survive without "cooked" meals and a soft bed. These strong reptiles cannot survive in the wilderness; civilization has overcome them. The final scene leaves us with a false picture. Earl, with his newlyhatched son, watches cavemen outside his window. The cavemen, clothed in animal skins, try to roll a round object (possibly thefirstwheel?) while the remains of a fire sputters next to them. To the viewer, these "beings" are 2 V2« S I E 1L F not as ci vilized as the dinosaurs. Furthermore, it is prehistorically preposterous to portray dinosaurs and cavemen existing during the same time period. Instead of personifying the animals, the program should depictdinosaurs as they really lived. If the networks did that, a chance might exist that they could actually present an "educational" show; that would be something against their grain. 'Dinosaurs' uses clever costuming, developed by the son of the late Jim Henson, but the plots are inconsistent and sometimes overly corny. The premiere segment, for instance, was unbearably bad, however, a show that has Earl looking eagerly forward to tossing his mother-in-law into a tar pit is an instant dark-comedy success. 'Dinosaurs' deserves instant mass extinction. If the executives at ABC don't decide to put the show out of its misery, then maybe we all will get lucky and a meteor will strike the programming offices.

After roaming the planet for 140 million years, dinosaurs ended their reign on the planet 65 million years ago. Theories on the sudden extinction of the many species of animals bring heated debate within the scientific community. According to scientists, the species that survive today represent just one percent of the life forms that have lived on Earth. The history of life on the planet is punctuated with episodes of mass extinction followed by periods of wild diversity among those species surviving. Various theories have been put forth by scientists to explain these events and multiple factors may contribute to any or all mass extinctions. All mass-extinction theories point to changes in the Earth's environment as the direct cause. Here are some of those theories: • Meteorites: If a huge meteorite struck the planet, it could cause high winds, 2,000 degree rock vapor and an enormous cloud of dust Some of the expected after-affects would include fires, dust-darkened sky, acid rain and a greenhouse e ffect If the meteorite was hurled into the ocean, the resulting tsunamis would cause upwelling of cold, oxygen-poor water. This might account for the extinction of marine animals. The meteorite theory is often used to explain the demise of the dinosaurs. Samples of iridium, a metal rare on Earth but common in meteors, have been taken from three distinct sites-New Zealand, Denmark and Spain-that were enriched with soot, which may indicate that global fires resulted from the i mpact • Massive volcanism: Particles ejected into the air during eruptions would block sunlight« initiating a period of cooling. This theory is applied to dinosaur extinction by some researchers who note that the die-off started at least two million years before the end of the Cretaceous period and may have continued well beyond it. • Continental drift: As land masses are moved by plate tectonics, the planet may undergo radical climatic changes. This may be the best explanation for the disappearance of 96 percent of all species at the close of the Permian Era-easily the most severe extinction of all time. While terrestrial life was just beginning to flourish during the Permian, tectonic forces joined all of the planet's continents into a single colossal land mass. This caused a vast reduction in shallow offshore habitats. Pangea, as the supercontinent is known, extended from pole to pole, which would bring about a series of ice ages. Tropical seas would have chilled and the climate on land would have been dry and frigid. • Competition: Some mass extinctions appear to have been accelerated by the development or expansion of newer species. This may have been related to changing sea levels creating or obliterating land bridges and thus affecting the emigration of animals. The first great extinctions are generally explained with this theory. Primordial slime, for example, was unable to tolerate the oxygen produced by the up-and-coming stromatolites. The stromatolites, in turn, became the most successful life form on Earth, filling shallow warm oceans and eventually altering the chemistry of the seas and atmosphere. This allowed animals to develop, which fed on the stromatolites and brought their demise except in the most remote and protected areas. Competition may also have played a role in the dinosaurs' last stand. Scientists find evidence that small, primitive mammals feeding in great numbers on flowering plants may have significantly reduced the food supply for herbivorous dinosaurs. The most recent episode of mass extinction can clearly be attributed to competition. It started about 11,000 years ago and has accelerated toward the present Humans as hunters initiated, or at least aggravated the extinction of saber-toothed cats, mastodons, mammoths, giant sloths, short-faced bears, dire wolves and other large mammals at the close of the last iceage. Humans as developers continue to accelerate the extinction rate right up to the present, one of the greatest mass extinctions of all time.

By o bserving a nimals, Dinamation's scientists are able to add layers of muscle and skin to dinosaur skeletal information. They take moving x-rays of living animals to see how bones reflect muscles. Callison suspects that many prehistoric animals were not of the traditional brown or green hues the public has grown to accept. He theorizes that they were brightly colored, using hues like birds or animals of today. "We're attempting to show dinosaurs as i nteresting c reatures," Callison says. ' There were so many sizes and shapes of dinosaurs that we feel they had diversity in color as weU." Callison indicates that the large eyes and optic nerves of many dinosaurs suggests that they were sensitive to color. They may have used color for mating purposes or for natural camouflage. Since it is currently impossible to determine which hues the dinosaurs had, Dinamation's scientists and artists can only guess on their colors. The sounds which the dinosaurs emitted are also a matter of speculation for the Dinamation team. "We will never know what sort of vocal organs a dinosaur had, but v/e do know something about the size and shape of various resonating chambers," Callison says. For the Tyrannosaurus rex at the Wild Animal Park, Dinamation used the vocalizations of birds and other reptiles related to the long extinct animal and tried to create a "biologically feasible" voice. The result is a terrifying low-frequency roar. ecause of the speculation involved in creating dinosaur colors and sounds, some museums refuse to display Dinamation robots. "The American Museum in New Y ork i s r eluctant to d isplay Dinamation exhibits because they represent colors and patterns that are unknowable. They prefer to stick to what is known rather than displaying a possibly false representation," says Callison. He admits there is proper justification to the museum's claim, but also points out that Dinamation's speculations are built upon a solid scientific foundation and not pure guesswork. Even though the American Museum won't utilize the colorful robot- B Workers at the Dinamation plant load "Big Rex" on a flatbed truck with the help of a forklift. The life-sized robot is currently on display at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. ics, Callison says they do display paintings which depict dinosaurs in a more colorful manner than does Dinamation. Other prestigious museums feel similarly to the American Museum. The Field Museum in Chicago and the Peabody Museum in New Haven, Conn, also adhere to the conservative conventions held by traditional natural history museums. Museums such as the American Museum have built their reputations on the fossilized remains of dinosaurs. A spokesperson for the American Museum says the museum has so many fossils, there is no room for a robotic exhibit which hypothesizes how a dinosaur may have looked. Yet, the presence of a dinosaur skeleton does not insure accuracy. A skeleton of an apatosaurus (previously known as brontosaurus) on display at the museum has the skull of a c amarasaurus. Scientists noted the error in the 70s but due to the instability of the skeleton, exchanging the skull has been too difficult an endeavor. F or years, the museum indicated in no way that the skull was incorrect Dinamation paleontologist Bakker says the skeletal displays at most museums are boring and do little in helping the viewer imagine dinosaurs dinosaurs.

They exercise our curiosity as few things can." uring the summer, the Wild Animal Park's Dinamation e xhibit worked w ell in boosting attendance at the park.

It turns out that composer Roman was executed for the murder of his pianist wife Margaret, who was stabbed in the throat by gold-plated scissors.

WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC The story meanders between the past and the present, revealing more and more about the people involved and how they have all gathered together in the present to relive the events and make retribution for the past. Believe it or not, there is a great deal of humor in this story. It would seem that Branagh has his tongue firmly in his cheek. While he is telling his story, you can sense a glimmer of mischievousness behind the scenes. He did, after all, cast one of the funniest comics of our day in a small, but crucial role. Even with this sly humor and a hugely talented cast, Branagh must still contend with a complicated story that leaves out a few important pieces to the puzzle. Despite that, i t's a beautiful film to watch. Black and white photography is a lost art these days whose glory Branagh gamely revives here. And despite the holes in the story, the film is engaging to watch. Even if Branagh and Hollywood aren't totally sold on the theory of reincarnation, 'Dead Again' gives us all a Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson dance through a complicated storyline in 'Dead Again.' chance to ponder the possibilities.

The volcano spread ash and debris around the globe and is suspected of causing the entire planet to cool by fractions of adegree. Penatubo is just one of the many volcanos found in the Pacific Rim. Now playing at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Center, "Ring of Fire" is a new OMNIMAX film about the great circle of volcanoes and seismic activity that rings the Pacific Ocean. The film opened May 18, the 10-year anniversary the eruption of another Pacific Ring volcano, Mount St. Helens. "This film not only introduces audiences to the geographical concept of the Ring of Fire, it also seeks to show why and how people live on this fiery boundary, which circles 30,000 miles around the Pacific Rim," said Dr. Jeffrey Kirsch, consulting producer for the Space Theater. To produce "Ring of Fire," a team of geologists, anthropologists, computer a nimators and f ilmmakers worked for over seven years to cover this great boundary of theearth's crust, SEE FIRE/PAGE B14 The Navidad Volcano erupts in 'Ring of Fire.' 34 varieties of subs & sandwiches 1.

The first movie brought Arnold Schwarzenegger (he with the body fantastic) as the unstoppable killing machine sent to destroy her. The second adventure has Sarah teamed up with Schwarzenegger to thwart the efforts of an especially nasty terminator (Patrick Harris) to destroy her son (Edward Furlong). Looking at the metamorphoses of Sarah in the two movies we see the grand adaptability of women. She transmogrifies from a lowly greasepit waitress to a terminatress. Sarah actually becomes a better killing machine in the second movie than Arnold the mezomorph himself. The social consciousness of Sarah is the heart and soul of T2.* Driven by the certainty of global nuclear destruction, she will do anything to preserve the world for her children. She has become a necessary animal to stop the grim future of the human race. Benign beauty has become a killing beast. Final credits.

Pack a picnic basket or purchase a bucket of chicken, grab two beach chairs, include a warm blanket, and you are ready for a production of 'Evita' at the outdoor Moonlight Amphitheatre in V ista. The atmosphere at the Moonlight is warm, cozy and friendly. While watching the production, you can enjoy the stars, both on stage and in the sky. 'Evita' portrays the life of Eva Duarte from the age of.fifteen to her climb up the social ladder (by sleeping with men of higher and higher positions), to her status as wife of dictator Juan Peron, tcrher death from cancer at a ge 3 3. Alicia Irving performs the role of Eva, referred to as Evita in the height of her success. A t t he b eginning o f t he performance, one wonders whether she can handle the dancing and the singing, but Irving proves herself when she sings "Don't Cry for me Argentina." Irving masters the older Evita much better than the younger, more energetic E va. CheGueverra,played by Jim Graft, becomes the narrator and the judge Alicia Irving is Eva Peron in the Moonlight Amphitheatre's production of 'Evita.' The show runs through Sept. 9. for "Evita." C he's actions are threatening because of his opposition to the tyrannical ruling of Peron. However, he is also the objective bystander who helps the audience see both the good of Evita and the evil of Juan Peron. The most striking, electrifying scene is when Evita convinces the unions to support her husband, Peron, as president The stage, aglow with torches and voices, contains splashes of colors and pictures supporting the unions. The song, " A New Argentina," is a strong militaristic example of the unions' solidarity and support of Peron. The scene portrays the strength and love Evita possesses for and from her people. Another scene, much lighter than the union scene, is with the "high society people," who strongly disapprove of Evitabeing married to Peron. They glide on stage in one large, tightly joined group, all wearing black and white, singing their displeasure and dislike for Evita. Their gestures and faces are hilarious, and, at the end, they must strip off their clothes and jewels and mingle with the peasants of Argentinabecause ofEvita's orders. The "group" provides the play with light humor, inviting the audience to enjoy it. One great addition to this play is the still pictures of Evita, Argentina, and Peron, that are provided on each side of the stage, intentionally coinciding with each scene in the play. Evita runs through Sept. 9; all shows are at 8 p.m. The Moonlight Amphitheatre is located in Brengle Terrace Park in Vista. With only $6 for lawn seats and $10-$ 12 for the permanent seating, this production is well worth a viewing. / t he HEADQUARTERS "o head of the rest' Nail Special wt Jacque $ 7 44-2911 s Full S et A crylic 30°° (Regular 40°°) Manicures $10°° (Regular $12°°) Offer expires 10/15/91 Services Facials-Waxing-Body Wraps • Manicures & Acrylic Nails • Computer Hair Designs • Specializing in Perms European Hair Coloring & Weaving • Massages.

In August of last year, the "Ring of Fire" crew started filming geologists monitoring the activity of Mount S t Helens. Several weeks later, without warning, there was an explosion. Ash and steam shot 25,000 feet into the sky. As one geologist commented, "It could ruin your whole day." Theclosecalls whilefilming4<Ring of Fire" were all in a day's work for the dedicated film crews, but they resulted in some of the most extraordinary volcano sequences ever filmed. Spectacular volcanic eruptions show the process that both enriches and destroys the lives of those living there. Including Mount St. Helens, the film shows footage of Navidad in Chile, Sakurajima in Japan and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. Varied, scenes of humanity from around the Ring of Fire show the many ways the human spirit triumphs when confronted with imminent catastrophe - from one culture's practice of volcanic worship to a highly technological society's development of seismic prediction methods. "Part of the human condition is to live constantly poised between life and death, and there's no more direct evidence for that than the way these cultures have adapted to life on the Rim,'' Kirsch said. As plumes of ash explode into the sky, viewers will witness the birth of a new volcano in southern Chile. The film takes audiences to the annual evacuation drill held on the J apanese volcanic i sland of Sakurajima, on the anniversary of the eruption of 1914. This volcano is still active, menacing the 7,000 people of Sakurajima with frequent ashfalls and the danger of more serious eruptions. Other scenes transport viewers to the edge of the fiery lava lake in Hawaii and to Tokyo and San Francisco, where the risk of earthquakes profoundly impacts life.

We are o ver o ur t arget enrollment substantially. ·Without m aking a ny r ecruiting efforts, students nonetheless found o ut a bout us by word o f mouth o r reading stories. They came in and .made their applications and we did have to close applications. Sorry about that, but we didn't want to tell a bunch o f people 'no.' We d idn't c lose i t q uickly enough because now we will have, in a sense, ' way over our full time equivalent target. I sn't o ver-enrollment a c ommon t hread t hroughout all universities?

Yet, o ver the next few decades landmovers and jackhammers will b e w orking overtime t o c reate a high tech campus with a style o f a 14th century Italian village. T he $ 650-$700 m illion c onstruction project will span a period o f o ver t wo decade and cover 305 acres. T he first phase o f the project will b e c ompleted for the fall 1992 semester at a c ost o f $47.5 million. Buildings w ill include a laboratory building, commons, a lecture hall a nd t he $15 million William A. Craven administration building. According t o A lbert Amado, assistant vice president for Physical Planning and Campus Construction, students entering the campus in '92 w ill s ee a nd feel the campus's architectural statement immediately. "We will make a major entry statement and a statement o f quality and outside openness," said Amado. " We s houldn't wait until the last phases to create an atmosphere." Amado said the Mediterranean village concept o f the architecture c ame about only after the concept o f the campus was reviewed. To reduce pedestrian circulation time, buildings will b e condensed into an easily accessible formation. All buildings will have maximum widths o f 5 0 feet and will rise a minimum o f four stories, thereby creating the feeling o f a condensed, Italian-village. "In trying to respect the terrain, we get a Mediterranean sense. The campus will resemble a crested Italian hill town," said Amado. On t he Cover Craven Hall, the first "feature".. building o f the new campus is scheduled for completion in the fall o f 1992. The building, named after Stated Senator William A. Craven who signed state Bill 365 authorizing tbe establislunent of t he new university,will administration, certain student services and the library when t he campus moves to the Twin Oaks Valley Road location. In addition the campus will house the $ 2 million in computer equipment used to run the first phase o f the campus.

Through television, viewers have passed judgment on everyone from Patty Hearst to John DeLorean. Videotape has given us a free pass to the private lives o f public figures and officials, and all i n the name o f news. But we, as a nation o f voyeurs, seldom see the whole picture. O n s uch sensationalistic programs as ' C urrent Affair' o r ' Inside A E dition' viewers only see tapes o f e vents that have been edited t o maximize the drama o f events. Even, and especially, news broadcasts use footage to draw viewers in and increase ratings. Unfortunately, the viewing audience ultimately sees footage that does not always correctly depict events a t hand. I n the case o f R ob Lowe, for instance, America watched a tape that allegedly depicted the actor having sex with a minor from Atlanta. I t w as e asy t o pass immediate j udgment o n L owe d ue to the explicit nature o f the tape alone. B ut w hat most o f the American public does not realize, is that the video, shown so liberally across the airwaves, d id n ot actually depict Lowe and the Atlanta minor. What it really showed was Lowe with a woman in Paris. T he tape found its way to the media only after allegations about Lowe and the m inor arose. N onetheless; L owe was tried and convicted b y a n audience o f millions with a tape that did not depict the event in question. Morally, L owe's s exual exploits were repugnant, b ut t hey made for good viewing. O n J une 28, America had the opportunity o f passing judgment on yet another public person; Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry. F or 10 minutes, viewers saw the official lift a pipe to his lips and smoke crack cocaine. W hat t he public d idn't see were the other 73 minutes o f videotape. Only o ne station, Fox owned WTI'G, aired the complete tape. As a result, viewers saw only a partial picture o f a man driven by power and influence to perform vile illegal acts. The complete version o f the tape depicted the tragic drama o f a man more obsessed with sex than with drugs. I n f act, B arry's c laim o f e ntrapment by the Federal Bureau o f I nvestigation may n ot b e entirely invalid in light o f the entire tape. During most o f the footage, Barry made countless sexual advances to LARRY BOISJ OL E Ll E DITOR-IN-CHIEF m odel a nd f ormer g irlfriend R asheeda M oore. I t a ppears that t he m ayor w as l ured i nto using the drug by M oore a s a form o f foreplay. s uch Obviously, b ehavior a s s moking crack w arrants t ermination f rom office, b ut e ven B arry deserves a fair trial in the viewers' court. With sensationalistic videotape, comes sensationalistic hype. A s s oon as news o f t he B arry tape was made public, a tremendous uprising in the black community arose. Claims were b rought forth stating that Barry was singled o ut for the investigation due to his color. This ludicrous outcry probably would not have occurred h ad t he tape not existed. B ut the pinnacle o f sensationalism created by video journalism invites outside groups i nto t he vortex o f m edia h ype, creating more confusion than clarity. As a method o f information dissemination, television has always had a bad reputation. T he practice o f heavily editing videotape for use i n news broadcasts only adds to its poor standing. T o complicate matters further, many news stations offer significant' cash rewards for newsworthy videos. This practice invites would-be treasure hunters, armed with the family cameras, to hunt for news. F or t he most part, the general public has little o r n o formal training in finding and accurately portraying newsworthy events. F raud i s invited and actually encouraged, as in the case o f R ob Lowe. I f news stations broadcast taped footage, they should investigate the material f or accuracy. I f i t i s f ound that the footage i s i ndeed newsworthy and useful, it should be aired only in its entirety, o r n ot a t all. T he p ractice o f e diting f or e ntertainment is dangerous to t he reputations o f p eople and damaging To the integrity o f a legal system which operates on the premise that all men are i nnocent until proven guilty.

A THOUGHT: "Mere opinions, in fact, were as likely to govern people's actions as hard evidence, and were subject to sudden reversal as hard evidence could never be." Kurt Vonnegut, in 'Galapagos' R onald Reagan stated a sarcastic truth a t t he dedication o f t he n ew Richard Nixon Library: " Much h as been written and said a bout R ichard Nixon; s ome o f i t h as even been true." B ut f urther truth lies in the fact that the c orrect a nd a dmirable aspects o f R ichard Nixon a re t he very aspects that the media appears hesitant to print. Positive ideas do not make entertaining press. Through media hyperbole, the history o f N ixon's administration has b een c louded. Instead o f r ealizing the vast achievements that Nixon accomplished, many people today are led to believe that only corruption and mismanagement littered his administration. While the press seems only to emphasize the supposed "scandal" o f Watergate, Richard N ixon a ccomplished m uch d uring h is Presidency. Possibly N ixon's m ost s ignificant a nd talked about achievements lie in his decision to open relations with the Soviet Union and China. H olding a r ecord a s a s trict a nticommunist, Nixon was able to commence talks with the S oviet U nion which led to START, the first real m ove t o p olice t he nuclear race. Although this reduction treaty was no band-aid for U.S.-Soviet relations, it did create a course for increased cooperation that carried us to the more relaxed position we hold with the Soviet Union today. Furthermore, Nixon recognized t he danger o f l eaving t he S oviet U nion a s t he o nly dominate force in Asia; therefore, he worked to patch o ur r elations with C hina t hrough actions that improved political and economic relations between our countries. R ichard N ixon b rought t he American i nvolvement i n t he V ietnam War, which killed 47,319 U.S. citizens, to a logical and redeeming conclusion. T RACY WILSON G UEST C OLUMNIST In addition, Nixon introduced people into his administration such as Henry Kissinger, William Safire, P atrick Buchanan, and Alan Greenspan who sill act as important political figures today, while another individual who Nixon saved from oblivion and sent to the United Nations is now our President. While t he l iberal press would have u s believe that civil rights advancements are the p rize o f D emocrats a nd t he s corn_ o f R epublicans, t he c onservative N ixon c ontradicted their stereotype and worked to further r ights i n t his area. According to P atrick B uchanan, S pecial C onsultant t o N ixon, m oney a llotted t o c ivil r ights e nforcement rose 800 percent to $600 million during his first term. Furthermore, he set a record b y r aising federal e mployment o f minorities from 14.1 percent to 19.5 p ercent B ut possibly Nixon's greatest achievement i s t he b rilliant way he e scapes p olitical suicide, never allowing the media to c remate o r bury the ashes o f his last public action. Nixon's positive effects o n o ur c ountry w ere n ot s evered b y Watergate. N ixon resurrected from a political deathbed to again involve himself in today's society. Recently, he visited China, where he delivered a harsh message in regard's to the TiannemanS quare massacre. Unlike many past political leaders, N ixon n ever d id a nd s till d oesn't a ccept h onoraria for speeches and asked for n o fee f or h is C hina v isit. F urthermore, h e c ondemned any effort on the b ehalf o f t he Chinese to exploit and televise his visit for t he f ear that he might appear as i f h e condoned the g overnment's behavior. Today w e s ee figures like Barney Frank, a c ongressman e vidently " unaware" o f t he h omosexual whorehouse that operated from his home, receive only a "reprimand" and a s lap o n t he h and from a press w ho s eems willing to forgive any impropriety o f a fellow liberal. H e m ost likely faces re-election. I n t he past, Nixon's unquestionably less severe acts led to a cannibalistic feast on his political life and Presidential honor. T he m edia h eld t he banquet. R ichard N ixon n ever c heated t he government, never accepted unfair funds, a nd w as n ever p roved t o h ave o rdered t he Watergate burglary o r k nown o f it; N ixon's o nly folly was a lack o f foresight which led t o i naction, concealment, and t he r eluctance t o a dmit a mistake at the crucial time i t occurred. I n r etrospect, it is important to n ote t hat i f N ixon h ad in a timely manner c ame t o t he p ublic with the truth, he would have fmished his term, leaving Watergate as a dead issue. While the liberal press would say that this very inaction can successfully overshadow all the good o f the Nixon administration, history will prove that it c annot R egardless o f t heir e fforts, R ichard N ixon's opponents have failed to reduce his political actions i nto a p ile o f s moldering ashes. In N ixon's own words: " So l ong as I have a breath i n m y body . .. I a m n ot going to keep my mouth s hut" H e has risen. TRACY WILSON is Opinion Editor for Palomar College's student newspaper, The Telescope. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Student government would open doors T homas Jefferson once said, " If I c ould have a government without the press, o r a press without the government, I would prefer the latter." Currently, Cal State San Marcos is experiencing the latter form and what has resulted is far from preferable. Jefferson did not advocate a p ress without a government society. What he did advocate was a society with both amenities. T he p ress and the government are like Siamese twins, joined each a t the f ist Whereas each appears to b e fighting with the other, both are joined in the fight for the same cause . .. the betterment o f society. Even a t the microcosmic level o f a u niversity (in comparison to state and federal governments), government serves a vital function.

Three shows staged · area in JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Starlight Opera's presentation o f ' Jesus Christ Superstar' could be considered the second coming o f Andrew Llyod Webber. As composer o f a dozen musicals, Webber has gained recent success with his production o f ' The Phantom o f the Opera,' released in 1988. He is also admired for ' Cats' (1980) and 'Evita' (1978). But lately little attention has been given to his first, complete work. T hat d idn't stop director James Rocco from directing Webber's 1970 score o f 'Jesus Christ Superstar.' The performance, playing through Sept. 9, proves that the biblical son o f G od is alive today. The story follows the last seven days o f Jesus Christ. However, instead o f portraying Jesus as a God, Webber casts him as a man with the entire performance viewed through the eyes o f Judas. Bible critics might complain here, because Judas is the one who betrays Jesus. So, even though the story is pretty biblically accurate,· Judas's story doesn't shed a bright light on Jesus. Jesus is portrayed by Amick Byram. He truly becomes the superstar o f the show, not only for his role, but'because o f his fantastic performance. Byram comes to the Starlight after his run with 'Les Miserables' a t the Schubert 'Theatre in Los Angeles, where he played the l ead His performance o f Jesus the man was more than convincing, and his performance o f J esus the superstar was astonishing and heart-pounding. T he m an who challenges his action throughout the play is portrayed by Jessi Corti. His role o f Judas is the first solo voice to b e heard in the production with "Heaven on their Minds" and he defmitely sets the standards for the rest o f the show. He has a wide vocal range as well as a diversity is h is acting emotions and actions.

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

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

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

A T HOUGHT; T ees (in the CSU) are still low in comparison. There is no other place to go for this quality of education for the money/ BARRY MUNITZ, CSU Chancellor In the spirit of re-examining the validity and currency of our institutional soul and guide, our Mission Statement, there is a goal that is noticeably missing and needs to be highlighted. In its present form, the Mission Statement described in great clarity our goalsin six paragraphs, each with these themes: 1 : Academic excellence 2: Faculty/student interaction 3s Partnership with the North San Diego County community 4s International perspective 5s Culture and ethnic diversity 6s Developing critical inquiry in order to bring about change. It gives me great pride to be working in this setting, but it is incomplete. What's missing is the topic of that international summit held this past June at Rio de Janeiro. I propose the inclusion of the environment as a vital, integral and indispensable part of our philosophy and mission. It's notaradical idea. Thepresent form of the Statement scratches the surface by mentioning "shared resource" and "ecological restraints." Recycling newspaper and soda cans has almost become second nature to us. Biology 392studies the Human Impact on the Environment. And we'vereceivedagrantforacampus-wide "model recycling program" which is in the early stages of development However, the idea of preserving the environment at CSU San Marcos can best be described as good intentions but lacing aconscious direction.

For a man to develop as a man, he can have nothing for security/ Security stunts the man. Knowledge, as a form of security, keeps the male a life-long mama's boy. The man must go post-knowledge.

Knowledge is of little interest to a male Y OUR VIEWS A Non-Knowledge campus Students need to choose their own campus mascot Many students comment about how the new campus represents a tangible, concrete identity. The campus does indeed represent a symbol of our unique collegiate status. But there is one more codifying symbol of campus unification and student solidarity that has yet to be discussed or created. The campus mascot Many CSUSM students are under the mistaken impression that the symbolic California Mountain Lion, which adorns virtually everything, is our official mascot In reality, the mascot is a symbol that is to be chosen by students in a popular vote. Our current mascot was chosen by the administration and not the students. It is referred to distinctly as the California Mountain Lion and anyone referring to the animal as a "cougar" shall be bound and gagged upon utterance. We recognize that the California Mountain Lion is a regal beast that once roamed the area in great numbers, but we also realize that there is nothing original about using it as mascot. A handful of Southern California high schools apt name would be difficult to find. The Vipers: Sounds menacing, sounds fierce, but may be more appropriate for a law school. The Amazons: Too feminine. The Terminators: Too masculine. The Conquistadors: A fitting rival to the Aztecs but not politically correct The Nimrods: Too whimpy. The Sea Monkeys: Sounds like a winner. Sea monkeys are neither male nor female, they STAFF EDITORIAL constantly amaze with their antics and are on the use cougars as mascots.

Las Vegas can serve as a tourist's hub this side of the Mississippi. You can travel to San Francisco, Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon and even here to San Diego. More notably, San Diegans can travel there relatively easy. With all it's glitter and sparkle, Las Vegas can be a little overwhelming and confusing sometimes. To help those who want to travel to the strip — either for the first time of for a return trip — here's a guide to the most notable casinos and hotels. Caesar's Palace If the emperor of Rome came back today, he would be impressed. Caesar's Palace comes complete with five lounges, eight restaurants, the Forum Shops and a casino that would knock the socks off Hermes himself. The service is great and makes everyone feel like a god. The Forum Shops must be seen here. Artistically and architecturally, the avenue of indoor stores make it seem like your walking down Via XX Settemore in downtown Rome. Two focal points are featured with statues of Zeus, Aphrodite, Poseidon and Hermes. It's a R OMAN S . KOENKS/RONEER • The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace place to get lost in, both fantasy and reality. Caesar's Palace's Forum Shops are also a good representation of the rest of the fine establishment One, it is not real: the gods they featured were from Greek mythology and not Roman; one of the shops has a Warner Brother's theme, hardly an ancient icon. The other factor is that Caesar's is expensive. Room rates range from $110 to $175 a night Depending on the day or time of year, rooms can fall down to $65. There's 1,518 rooms here, a smaller number than other hotels leaving more room dedicated to fun and games. Two room minimums on the weekend are not always adhered to here. Their restaurants are quite elegant and you pay for that level of perfection. Jackets and reservations are required at most of the eating establishments. For their buffet, the average price is around $10. Don't let the prices get you down. Even if you stay at another hotel, this palace must be added to the trip's list If nothing else, just SEE VEGAS/PAGE 15 ftuioK Winning is how you look at it PICKS Most expensive: Caesar's Palace, Tropicana Least Expensive: Circus Circus, Excalibur Family Oriented: Excalibur, Circus Circus Adult Oriented: Sands, Riviera Most Crowded: Flamingo Hilton Least Crowded: Aladdin, Frontier Cleanliest: Riviera, Mirage Dirtiest: Circus Circus Best Service: Mirage, Sahara Worst Service: Desert Inn Greatest Buffet: Circus Circus, Stardust Cheapest Tables: Silver City Best Shopping: Caesar's Palace ROMAN S. KOENIG/PIONEER ~ In planning my first trip to Las Vegas, I had a lot of ideas in my head about what my weekend vacation there would be like.

And win big. However, instead of seeing my picture in the local papers as the next collegiate winner of a big jackpot, I saw my money quickly slip away from myfingersafter accomplishing a short-lived winning streak.

Dance numbers, created by choreographer Bill Guske, are so complex the Stardust had to offer free classes to help local dancers acquire the skills needed for the show.

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

Straight-forward gambling here with no Mils attached. • Stardust is one of the easiest to get around in. Set horizontally on the strip, a pathway travels from one end to the other, with several offshoot, but not enough to get lost in. • Riviera also lacks a theme but makes up with b ight lights and lots of dazzle. The video poker games are a lot more liberal that the actual tables. • Silver City is the only place to find dollar tables. Beginners would want to start here before moving onto the higher tables. Silver City is a casino only; not hotel here. • The staff at Frontier is on strike, dissatisfied with the cancellation of their benefits and a cut in wages. It's easier to go across the street or next door than it is to crosi the picket line. • Flamingo Hilton tops the list as the most crowded. At Circus Circus, i t's hard to find a place to play; At the Hilton, it's hard to find a place to breathe. The floor layout is cramped and the noise is overbearing. • Is in anyone in the bottle?

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

'What makes Thunder Rapids a superior ride is the chance of taking the plunge simultaneously with other thrillseekers. Through clever positioning,riderscan turn the raft around to accommodate the series of twists as the come. Dropout Even the most stout of constitution might not even attempt this menacing plunge at Raging Waters. Rising seven stories above the ground, this slide represents the ultimate in thrillseeking. The slide has shallow sides and drops straightdown to a runway hundreds of feet below. Riders don't even touch the slide until after a good thirty-foot drop. There is nothing tame or seemingly safeabout theride.Persons with weak hearts or stomachs should not even attempt this menacing plunge. Thrill Seekers compares the thrill of the drop to bungee jumping in its adrenaline rush. Sliders (particularly males) are advised to cross their legs since the introduction of water in the runway at the slide's bottom can impact the groin area. Overall, Raging Waters offers more thrilling rides. Unfortunately, the most dangerous ride is the freeway trek to get there. The two-hour drive spans some of the most dangerous freeways L.A. has to offer. Raging Waters also has an expensive price tag of $18.95 for adults. WildRivers is more tame but much closer. Located only an hourfromthe North County, drivers don't have messy traffic to content with. The price is $15.95, three dollars cheaper than Raging Waters. �C alendar Music Acoustic Mike Open J am: At Bubba's Restaurant, Escondido, on Thursdays from 7 to 10 p.. 747-5330 Bluesage Monday: Every Monday at 7 p.m. at the Del Dios Country Store, Escondido. 745-2733 Blues & Jazz Open Mike: Every Monday 17:30 p.m. at the Metaphor Coffee House, Escondido. 4849-8890 Country Pride: Performs Sundays at 6 and 9 p.m. at the Del Dios Country Store, Escondido. 745-2733 C.W.

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

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

First, I would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Government. In addition, I would solicit private donations from corporations to defray the costs of building a Student Union. Furthermore, I would oppose any Student Union fee or any increase in the A.S. fee. Finally, I would lobby against any tuition or other fee increases at the CSU Board of Trustees or at the state legislative level. • Laura M itchell: As your next Associated Student Government President, I will work towards establishing and enhancing a university atmosphere, while ordaining and maintaining an increased level of professionalism j n our A.S. government. I believe it is time for a president who, while being accessible to the diverse student population of our campus, bestows a fresh attitude in the A.S. government.

Council and students. The 22-year-old Social Sciences senior said the A.S. has gotten too powerful. As president, he said he would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Council and delegate responsibilities to independent student committees. Each committee would have an independent A.S. liaison in its numbers. "One person cannot see all views," he said "Wemustrely on the AS. Council's recommendations and recommendations from student committees." Christensen himself has served on the Student Governance Task Force Committee, which authored the A.S. Constitution, and the Academic Policy and Planning Committee. Christensen said he is not against the idea of a Student Union Fee, but cited the ballot's Measure A as being too complex. "I think the measure is too complicated and the information was given out too late," Christensen said. According to Christensen, the Mitchell advocates stronger student voice, club involvement and Student Union funding Laura Mitchell hopes, if elected as A.S. president, to make student government more accessible to the student body. The 29-year-old Liberal Studies^ major, who currently holds a seat on the A.S. Council, said that government decentralization would encourage student involvement and more accurately reflect student needs. "I would like to make the authority of the student government not dependent on one figurehead," said Mitchell. As president, Mitchell would urge the Inter-Club Council to play a stronger role in student governance. She said encouraging student participation in governance is also an important function of the A.S. president. "(Students at CSUSM) are timelimited. We have to make participation more appealing," she said. Because students next semester will be forced to travel off campus to use CSUSM's library and administrative services, Mitchell said students will have even less time than they do currently. She sees a hands-on approach with the constituency as the most viable method of gaining student support. Mitchell said she would like to make the A.S. Office aplace where students can go to air their problems and voice Jljpir suggestions. Mitchell also said she would like to insure some kind of funding for a Student Union Building as A.S. president "Anybody who's forward-thinking would be in favor ofa Student Union," she said. If Measure A, the ballot measure establishing a S tudent Union Fee, does not pass in the upcoming election, Mitchell said she would like to use excess A.S. monies to createa Student Union fund. Mitchell said that a Student Union building will benefit CSUSM alumnus and future students by creating a student-operated meeting place where open forums may be held. Due to the campus's older student body population, Mitchell said the issue of child-care at CSUSM needs to be addressed. She said, however, finding a workable plan for child-care Will be a difficult process at this stage of the university's development. measure is not pro-rated for part-time students. He also said the measure does not make clear to students that the Student Union Building will not be completed for another 8-10 years. "The A.S. should try to defray the cost (of the Student Union) by soliciting outside sources," he said. After seeking outside financial help, the Council can then ask students for additional funding. Christensen said that due to CSUSM's demographics, the A.S. should be made more accessible to older students. He said the answer to the university's child-caie needs lies in public and private sector grants. He said that he would like to strengthen the relationship between the CSUSM Foundation and the A.S. Council. By doing so, Christensen said the two organizations can work together in a business relationship to yield more funds for student organizations and activities. Christensen said one of the biggest challenges facing the A.S. President is gaining student participation. "Students need to have an active voice," he said.

Council member. "It's universally accepted across the country as an established tradition. The club will use the summer time to establish the club, with possible changes. "We may set a little different rules later, maybe a little more fraternitytype rules and not club rules," Calvillo said. Even though the group's activities won't be in full swig until next semester, the group is planning a party for May 2. No details have been determined, but the members can answer any questions. They wear their new T-shirts and sweat shirts every Thursday to get the new club publicized and let people know they are members. Bill Alvillar is president, Billy Harrison is secretary, Husam Riham is Treasurer and Sandy Punch is the advisor. Any interested student wanting to join can talk with any of these officers or call Calvillo at 4574563. I am frequently asked if it is" easy to diagnoseHumanPapillomavirus (HPV) infection. The answer is yes and no. For the most part, external genital warts are visible on examination, although their appearance varies widely somewhat depending on their location. At times health care providers need some aids to help identify HPV infection and infrequently a biopsy of the skin may be necessary. Detection of subclinical infection is more difficult and usually requires special studies. In women, there is a suggestion of subclinical infection in the pap smear* a special examination may be required. Remember, the pap smear test is just a screening test and not definitive. The special examination is called colposcopy. A colposcopy is a sophisticated microscope that allows the provider to more closely examine the surface of the cervix and other areas of the female genital tract. At that time, a biopsy may be done which offers a definitive diagnosis. Once HPV infection has been diagnosed, difficult decision confront both the patient and the provider. With visible warts, most medical experts feel H EALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D. that treatment is warranted in order to remove the wart itself and reduce the chance that the infection will spread to others. As I statedpreviously, therisk of transmission is poorly understood; however, two thirds of patients will get HPV infectionfromtheir partner. There are multiple approaches to treatment each with its own advantage and disadvantages. The treatment selected depends in part on the number and location of warts, and on the availability of resources including equipment and the experience and training of your providers. Patient preferences should be considered also after a discussion of the treatment option?. However, all treatments involve*somedestruction of local tissue, as well as some pain and inconvenience. Some of the common treatment modalities are cryotherapy (freezing), podophyllin (caustic chemical treatment), trichloroacetic acid (another caustic chemical treatment), electrodessication (electric current surgery with local anesthesia), laser therapy (laser surgery with anesthesia) and interferon (An antiviral drug treatment). All of these treatments are performed by a provider and vary widely in expense. As an example, laser surgery is very expensive. Recently, a new form ofpodophyllincalledPodofiloxhasbeen approved by the FDA to be used at homeby the patient under a provider's supervision. In some situations, this treatment can save patients time and money since although the Podofilox is expensive,less visits to a provider may be required. While each of these approaches is helpful the troublesome news is two fold. First, hot any of these treatments cause complete and total cure of HPV. The treatments get rid of the virus by destroying infected cells, but generally doesn't destroy all the infected cells. The HPVfrequentlyinhibits a wider area of skin than the precise location of the wart or warts. Secondly, with any of the treatments and even in the hands of the best providers, it is possible that the patient will later have one or more recurrences iu which new warts develop. Although the above may sound unduly pessimistic, patients withHPV can take comfort in the fact that the infection is mild and very manageable in the vast majority of cases. Patience and persistence are key to the treatment of HPV. There are many unanswered questions about this increasingly common infection. The best advise again is prevention. Although condoms may offer incomplete protection because they do not cover all areas possibly infected, they are the best protection known short of abstinence. Communication with ones partner is also essential. If you think you have HPV or have been diagnosed with HPV, see a provider who is experienced and has current knowledge ofHPV. Lastly, making good general health a priority is equally essential to maintain a healthy immune system.

As Cal State San Marcos evolves, it encounters some growing pains — some a minor and some others are sharp pangs. Regardless, if the administration and founding faculty could start all over, they would probably proceed in just the same way, minus one factor — the current apathetic student population. U sing a mQre a ctive batch o f students w ould b e the o nly t hing t hat should change if this university's birth were to begin again. Why? STAFF EDITORIAL Because the students continue to ignore the challenges of involvement given to them from the faculty and administration. O UR V IEWS Cal State San Marcos students shine as examples to journalists I think i t's safe to say that the 43rd annual California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual conference at the Lake San Marcos Resort was a great success for those at Cal State San Marcos who participated. Organizing a weekend of competitions, seminars and banquets was a Herculean task that few universities many times greater in size would not have been able to pull off. Yet with only a handful of bodies and an immeasurable amount of tenacity, CSUSM students gave anew definition to the word "superhuman." Unfortunately the community of Lake San Marcos might not agree with this assessment. During the course of the weekend, seven private boats were cut loosefromtheir moorings on the tiny lake, causing damage to some of the vessels. Students were found passed out by the resort's'podside, rendered unconscious from out-of-control partying the night before. Partying continued loudly until 4 a.m. in the mornings, disturbing hotel guests and residents in the area. On the second night of the conference, 12 policemen and one canine unit swarmed the hotel in an unsuccessful attempt to squelch the volume of the gaieties. Needless to say, the Lake San Marcos Resort will never allow the California Intercollegiate Press Association to hold another conference on its premises. Some of the problems could be attributed to the event's scheduling. Set on thefirstweekend of spring break, the conference could have been construed by some as an invitation to cut loose and throw responsibility to the wind. Each year stories of unruly college students getting out of control during spring breakfillthe news. Riots on the beaches of Florida or the streets of Palm Springs are staples for Apn! newscasts. - • . .. • » *f * L ARRY B OISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Of course we did expect some amount of u ncontrolled b ehavior and a lcoholism. We did not foresee, however, the degree of party- ing that occurred. We who organized the conference did so with the intent of creating a stimulating and challenging atmosphere for college journalists. We took our work seriously as we scrambled at all hours to make sure that each event atthe conference ran smoothly and with as few glitches as possible. Yet, for each one of us, there were four others who had a different agenda. Itisinconceivablethat thevolunteered time of the conference's numerous contributors, many of whom are professionals in the field ofjournalism, could be eclipsed by the irresponsible actions of a select few who found alcohol to be a better mental stimulant than knowledge and healthy competition. Nonetheless, those students at CSUSM (in particular Debbie Duffy, Kathy Sullivan and Kimberly Courtney) should be proud of their astounding efforts. With their never-say-die attitudes and responsible behavior, they stood as shining examples of the breed of student typified at CSUSM. As overall winners of the conference, CSUSM's student journalists were held as the role models for many a fledgling college journalist. It is with great honor that I can say they filled ^ toSlis J • id? «s-ric 18 tiffiS Once again, thecall for student involvement went out in the form of Associated Students candidate applications. And once again, CSUSM students did not head their calling. The evidence is apparent when only seven people are running for 13 available A.S. Council positions. And once again, i t's time for another scolding. The administration's and faculty ' s challenge is to provide a quality education in a culturally-enriched setting, CSUSM has done more than its share with smaller classes, inspirational teachers and an abundance of campus concerts, festivals and activities. The students' challenge is to meet the university's standards and provide student services for today and tomorrow. But the vast majority is just concentrating on the educational aspects of CSUSM and returning nothing to developing a true campus community. If a student does not participate, does not get involved, and does not establish an example for future generations, then leave this university. Go somewhere where your apathy could go unnoticed and you can get lost in the shuffle and become the little fish in a big ocean. Go to San Diego State and deal with its small, cramped classes or other colleges that aren't as unique as CSUSM. Those uninvolved students haven't earned the quality of instruction here at CSUSM. At CSUSM, everyone is a big fish in a little puddle. The spodight is bright, but students are not performing very well. Let the people who really want to ease the university's growing pains and assist in the evolution of CSUSM stay. Then the student and faculty communities can work together to form a university with a reputation of dignity, not apathy. There's another call to the students and that's the A.S. elections next week. Last year, a year of much more involvement, nearly 35 percent of the population voted/Live up to that reputation. It only takes a few minutes, doesn't cost anything and won't interfere with family life. If students are going to ignore their opportunitiesnow, they will mmit for thefutute. <k> out and vote. > > �Supporting Pro-Life crisis centers with rebuttal to false advertise charge PIONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 9 2096 ( 619)752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whalèy CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeth, Ken Baurmeister, Dr. JoelGrinoIds, Regina John CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992, by PIONEER.

A THOUGHT; "The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation." FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT I am writing in response to AngelaLowder's inaccurate commentary on Birthright and other crisis pregnancy centers ("Ad Unfair," March 31). Her charges against Birthright are totally false. These Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers exist solely to help women who are in a crisis pregnancy situation with aid in many forms, including housing, j ob assistance, adoption referrals, baby clothes and materials, labor coaching and finally support as well as many other forms of helpful aid. The centers are staffed by loving volunteers who care both about the lives of unborn children and the well-being of their mothers. I have heard many testimonies from women who have been helped in a myriad of ways from Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers and who thank God that they were given the aid that helped them give life to their children. It seems to me that if Pro-Abortion groups really cares for women (which they don't) they would be at the forefront of the movement to help women during their time of crisis. But they do not help women in crisis, they sell abortion as the only option a woman has, which kills unborn children and scars women. If Pro-Abortion groups were really for giving women a "choice" they would not be so vehemently opposed to those organizations that seek to help women save their babies. Contrary to the falsehood portrayed by Angela, Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers do not "lure and deceive" women into their centers to "force" propaganda on them, but conversely give them the true facts that they will never get at an abortion clinic, including the aid and alternatives to abortion that are available to them, information on the development of their unborn child, and reports on the possible physical and emotional effects of abortion. Any woman facing a crisis pregnancy will find at Birthright and other crisis pregnancy centers not condemnation but only love, compassion, and any assistance they may need. I would like to applaud the Pioneer for running Birthright advertisements, giving women a real chance to choose life. YOUR V IEWS PUBLIC FORUM dents from obtaining their much needed education. The United States gives Egypt over $2.3 billion every year. Why? I am researching this matter now and will send out letters with more information to all universities.

R ITA M ARTIN /UC DAVIS Imagine no Student Union The students of CSUSM will be making a decision next week that will directly affect all student of this university for years to come. I am referring to Ballot Measure A which asks students to approve the concept of collecting fees f or a Students Union Building. I would like students to image what our campus wouldbe like without the student lounge or bookstore. A dismal thought! As limited as our resources are on this campus, the student lounge provides a much needed refuge for many students during both day and evening.

We must be visionaries as well as plan for all students not only ourselves. A Student Union building is designed to give students a sense of ownership and participation on campus as well as providing many services. If we as students do not support our own interests in this university, why should any one else support it? As a graduating senior, I am anxious to participate in the construction of the Student Union Building as an alumnus of the founding class. These early years of CSUSM will set the standards of the reputation of this school. L et's keep our standards high and our eyes to the future. Vote yes on Measure A. P.S. Student Union fees do not affect students receiving financial aid. T ANIS B ROWN/ A.S. COUNCIL MEMBER Vote4 yes' on Measure A I have spent better than 20 years in and out of the University campuses, both as a student and as a visiting lecturer. One observation that always holds true is that th& center of the campus activities is the Student Union. This is where the students like to feel like they have a home, a place where they belong. Even campuses that have a large number of commuter students, like San Diego State or Boise State, offer those students the opportunity to experience more of university life than a private University like National University. The many features that Student Unions offer are selected by the students, to benefit the students, and employ students. Imagine if you can what life would be like for 10,000 or more students trying to leave campus, all at the same time to drive to get lunch, or to have some copying done. Imagine what life will be like for the students of CSUSM in the 21st century without the many features that their student union can offer them. Please consider what a positive decision can have for the students of the future. I know that you realize that the Student Union will not be built in time for'most of you to enjoy , unless you come back to take classes like I am doing now.

The day's business was busy and a large crowd of men, women and even a few kids was heading for a field known as "Pumpkin Patch." "What's going to be your strategy?'' was a question asked to a camouflaged soldier. "What's the camera for? What magazine do you write for?" was the reply. After the standard introduction of Cal State San Marcos and explanation ofPioneer, the question was asked again: "What's going to be your strategy?" "Hey, I'm going to be in the news- paper," he shouted Not if he didn't answer the question, he wasn't. A bout went on for a few moments as the stroll to the next field became more of a hike. Just as the question was to be withdrawn, he answered. "I don't have one." "A i Lt first, there is no strategy," explained Clem Watts. But after playing the war-like game of Paint Pellet Pufsuit, Watts says die need for strategy becomes more apparent. With only two previous days of paint balling, Watts has already developed a five to seven man system. The group travels across the playing field, working together to accomplish their task. Their goal* to capture the flag. Paint Pellet Pursuit is an adultversion of tag, or a toned-down version of war. In this game, specially designed guns shoot paint pellets instead of bullets. At about half an inch in diameter, the plastic coated balls are shot from specially made guns. The pellets travel at about300feet per second and break on contact, leaving a quarter-sized paint blotch. The mark indicates a "kill" and the player leaves the field. The rest of the sport, however, is just like a real war situation — from camouflage uniforms to forested playing fields. With or without the use of strategy, a team must capture the opposing teams flag and return it to his base to win. Thepioblem, however, is while trying to retrieve the prize, the army must also defend its own colors because the other team has the same goal. Steve McGovern thinks the pressureof the war situation is what makes the game challenging. "People learn how to work as a team while playing under stress," the paint pellet veteran said. Watts agreed with McGovern's ideas on team work, defending his strategy. "The most important thing is to communicate with each other." CSUSM's Jeff Henson supports the team play tactics and adds, "Don't get h it" Henson has played several times at the Borderland fields in Otay and Weekend Warriors in Alpine. "I'm mostly a defensive player," hecontinued.'T wait for them to come forme. I try to get more of us to shoot at them instead of vice versa. We try to work as a team." E Lenson, fairly new to thè sport, said the drawback to Paint Pellet Pursuit doesn't have to do with the game, but how others perceive the sport. "Public opinion is notagoodone," Henson stated. ' They think it's a practice of war. It's not really that (Besides) you only get one life in war." McGovern, a first class petty officer in the Navy, said that the people who play like "Rambo" don't do very well. "Rambos die," Dan Marchand reiterated. In fact, military tactics do not work in the setting of Paint Pellet Pursuit. The determining factor is because the weapons, although improving technologically very rapidly, do not shoot straight. Because of the liquid paint and die seam around the pellet, firing a paint ball rifle accurately is almost impossible.

Part of my team went one way, another a different direction. I was in the group that traveled up the middle. In the first few seconds, I reviewed the rules of the game. They were fairly easy to remember and similar to any other game — there were field boundaries, two equally-sized and skilled teams, referees and a goal that everyone worked to achieve.

The uniform consisted of military battle camouflage, a face guard with goggles and colored arm bands. The game ball (or balls) were paint pellets that served as ammunition. The goal was to capture the other team's flag and the object of the game was war. This was Paint Pellet Pursuit I traveled on assignment to Borderland, a Paint Pellet playing field near Otay Lakes. With me were several friends and their friends, a few other Cal State San Marcos students and an array of other war-hungry people. As the entire game proceed in front of me — minus the few seconds I played — I pondered the odds of me actually getting to fire my weapon. If not in battle, I decided, I could at least shoot on the practice range. The game ended and a nother started. I got a few rounds out, but again I was killed within the first few minutes of play. To the practice field I w ent I aimed, fired. Fired again and again. Nothing; I missed everything. It wasn't my lack of skill or my bad aiming. It was the fact that although this may look and sound like war, the paint balls do not fly straight I again reviewed the rules and goals of the game. Skill, talent or experience could not be used in Paint Pellet Pursuit. The one trick to winning is to shoot as much as you can and hope that it hits someone. In other words: I t's all luck. The threatof the players with semiautomatic weapons, full battle gear, spare guns an<l Rambo-typebandanas quickly diminished. Regardless of their ability and equipment, they couldn't have more luck than me. With that thought, I survived the next game without being killed. With two games completed, I started this game in a different position, playing defensive. The next few games I changed tactical locations, getting used to the game and the trajectory of the paint pellets. The real excitement started in game five: My first kill.

Norman Jewison's latest movie, "Other People's Money" accurately reflects the plight of America and the future of its small businesses. Danny DeVito plays L any "The Liquidator," a corporate shark who specializes in buying companies that are losing money and scrapping them for their assets. H e's a hybrid o f ' Donald Trump and Don Rickles whose ruthlessness overlooks the jobs and communities that will be destroyed by his takeover philosophy. Topping the Liquidator's list of companies to be acquired is New England Wire and Cable, a familyownedbusiness that has survived both World Wars and the depression. Because the company is out of debt but a bargain on the stock market, it is a prime candidate for takeover. 4 Mp THROUGH I Hi mm w BY S H E I L A COSGROVE The company's Chairman of the Board Andrew Jorgenson, played by Gregory Peck, sees the company as a manifestation of tradition and a pillar for the community. To help thwart the buyout effort, he hires a feisty female lawyer to save his corporation from liquidation. The battle for power thus begins with often hilarious results. But beneath the comic facade of "Other People's Money" is the darkreflection of the state of American business ventures. DeVito'scharacter,like many Wall Street power brokers, cares little for the lives, that would be crushed by the destruction of the town's major source of revenue. He actually feels the b enefit to the stock holders will override the loss of jobs and community security. This grab-the-bucks-while-you- can attitude has turned many a, thriving steel-town into a ghost town. Hundreds of years of tradition have been erased in the course of a moderately active trading day on Wall Street This might sound like a glum revue for a comedy, but it reflects the cold reality at the heart of Jewison's film — that America's obsession with the almighty dollar is morally bankrupting the foundation of this country. DeVito plays t heroleofLarry'The Liquidator" convincingly and with his usual lack of courteous reserve. Peck's tradition bound company chair reflects the innocence of the olden days when a business*s name was as important as the community. If yourent "Other People'sMoney" with the sole purpose of attaining a f ew mindless giggles, then your money would be better spent with such mindless fare as "Drop Dead Fred" or "Problem Child 2 ." View the film with a serious eye and you will find its true statement hidden among the laughs.

Thinking that the flower season had faded, I was excited to find the desert still alive with wildflowers. The lower elevations have begun to wane but the north sides of the mountains and the mid and upper elevations blaze with flowering cacti, as well as red, yellow, purple and blue perennials. More than flowers enlivened my hike up Palm Canyon, as newly hatched Monarch butterflies flitted fromflowerto shrub. The canyon still has lots of water. The palm-shaded pools and waterfalls offer a refreshing respite on a warm spring day. The one-and-a-half-mile I trail up Palm Canyon begins in Palm I Canyon Camp ground near the Anza Borrego Visitor Center. From the cool water of Palm Canyon I started down the road to Salton Sea, turning at the dirt road to Fonts Point Fonts Point gives the visitorabird's-eye view of the Borrego badlands.

My trip was awarded with something I had never seen before—the Badlands covered with a mantle of grass. Green Badlands! What an oxymoron of visual perceptions. On my way home nature gave me another totally unexpected visual experience. Acres and acres of flowering apple trees dotted the hillsides of Julian while red and black cattle stood b elly d eep in green and yellow meadows. Just like a present wrapped in beautiful paper, my day in Borrego and Julian was a visual gift of multicolored flowers, meadows and butterflies.

S tudent Laura Mitchell, an avid soccer player, heard about the city of San Marcos' soccer leagues and wanted to join. The leagues, however, only accepted teams. So Mitchell started one. Nine players, including Mitchell, joined the Community Services' co-ed soccer league under the team name 'The Strikers.' The now 13member team is undefeated and is largely made up of Cal State San Marcos and other area college students. "We have a range of players who have never played before and those who have played for 10 years," Mitchell said. The teams colors are white and those who attend Cal State San Marcos wear their college T-shirts. Other students come from neighboring Palomar College and as far away as Cal Poly Pomona. "We (CSUSM students) are kinds of the ring leaders," said Richard Malloy, a CSUSM student. From CSUSM, team members include Michelle Sadova, Kelly Yates, Lisa Foster, Jose Chapman, Debbie Ricketts, Mitchell and Malloy. Mitchell, Chapman and Ricketts plays defense. ' They're the main defensive players," Malloy said. Mitchell said there are some rules that come with the co-ed games that not all players agree with. For example, when a female has control of the ball in the center of the field, a male cannot take it away* Mitchell, an experienced player, feels this is unfair to both sexes. The team tries to practice twice a week, but with conflicting school and work schedules, not everyone can make i t "We at least have two practices a week," said Malloy, "but not everyone can make both times." Photographer gives greetings local angle D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Have you ever stood on the beach gazing at a sunset and yearning for a camera to capture the f oment?" * ' WeUf*pai:ten£ Barge makes a living taking pictures of the beach and selling them as greeting cards. "S andy Dreams Greetings" has been a reality for Barge for about six years. She and her husband decided there was a market for pictures of North County beaches and chose to mount their pictures, on 5-by-7 card stock to sell as greeting cards* They visited local merchants, who desired pictures of beaches other than San Diego City beaches, and their business took off overnight. Barge takes pictures of different beaches, their piers, the ocean and the setting sun; mounts them and writes her own special messages on thé sand in the pictures. What's hiôst impressive about these greeting cards is that every one is a photograph that can be mounted in a 5-by-7 or larger frame. These greeting cards are made to be admired all the time, not just glanced at and thrown away. For example, one of her best-selling cards displays a Santa waving a bag and tçwël, wearing white Bermuda shorts, red and white knee socks and looking like a real Santa from the waist-up. He is standing in the sand with the ocean unfolding behind him. This is "Southern California's" depiction of Santa. He floats in on the ocean and looks like a tourist ready to catch a wave or some sun. Another popular card portrays the ocean waves creeping onto the sand leaving white foam in its wake. The white foam is Southern California's idea of a "White Christmas." Barge says that many people from Southern California love to send this card to their relatives in the Northeast and the Midwest. Barge takes her o wn pictures, makes her o w n cards (with the help of an assistant), sells and restocks all her greeting cards herself. In addition to holiday cards, Barge also creates Happy Birthday cards for other occasions. Many specialty stores sell Barge's greeting cards, especially stores that cater mostly to tourists. By taking pictures of local beaches and writing the names of the beaches in the sand, Barge creates pictures that can be saved and admired. You can find Barge's unique greeting cards at the Palomar College Bookstore, the Harbor G ift Shop (on Oceanside pier), at El Camino Pharmacy in Carlsbad and at La CostaPharmacy You canfindDarlene in class at Cal State San Marcos every day. �News Briefs Recessionary economy could help construction A.S. Council starts holiday food drive The Associated Student Council has organized a holiday food drive to benefit the North County Inter-Faith Crisis Center in Escondido. This is the only philanthropic project students will be able to participate in this year. Food collection bins are located in the Student Lounge, A.S. Office and the Library. Wendy | Peterson, undergraduate-at-large representa- 1 1 tive, said the A.S. is accepting box and canned U non-perishable items through Dec. 13. " We're T u trying to get the boxes out by Monday and have I them out through the end of the school year." The A.S. chose the Crisis Center over Lifeline Community Services. "Lifeline had too many complications and restrictions with everything," Peterson said. L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER While the economic recession slows down consumers, it may actually be speeding up the construction process at Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site off Twin Oaks Valley Road. Whereas, last month CSUSM officials were pessimistic as to whether the first phase of the campus construction would b e completed by its f all 1992 deadline, the faltering economy has injected a glimmer of hope into die project's timeline. Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said that subcontractors are more a pttastart their specific tasks at the site ontimerather than experience delays due to other backed-up jobs. Because of a slump in the construction industry many subcontractors are faced with a lack of work and serious cutbacks. As a result they are more eager to start and complete projects that do e xist "We schedule subcontractors right a fter c ontractors," said A mado. "Subcontractors are ready to work at the first call due to the economy."

Amado said problems might occur if heavy downpours come before the roofing work on the buildings is completed. He estimated that roofs will be "dried-in" in about 60 days. Even if no more problems arise to hamper construction, the project still faces a tight schedule. Last year the project's buffer time was used up during a three-month delay incurred by a contractor's dispute. In September of last year, construction on the nearly $50 million project ground to a halt after grading subcontractor C.W.

Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site the next month and replaced with Lusardi Construction Company. W orries that d rought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left the ground too muddy to work with, thereby hindering progress. Amado said there is little left to hinder the construction process yet to come.

Ever since Cal State San Marcos opened last year, many students have pleaded with the powers that be to instigate a child care program. Now the Associated Student Council may have an answer to their problems. With a population that consists primarily of older students, child care is a legitimate concern. Many of CSUSM'sreentry population are parents that are faced with the d aily d ilemma of STAFF EDITORIAL where to put their children while mom or dad goes to school. Unfortunately, college administrators and the A.S. Council have delayed starting a child care program because of the high cost of liability insurance. In addition, CSUSM's temporary campus does not have proper facilities to care for children on site. Some students who are not parents have also expressed a reluctance to fund a university-sponsored program. These students feel that paying for child care should not be their responsibility since they chose to forgo the cost of raising children in the first place. At last the A.S. found a solution that can please those unwilling to fund child care and avoid university liability. By seeking help from the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, the A.S. has shown the type of ingenuity and resourcefulness that has typified CSUSM's short history. Under the program, students can drop their children off at the Club on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 8 p.m. where they will be supervised by Club staff. The Boys and Girls Club is accustomed to working with children on a daily basis and is known for its community service contributions with regard to children. The cost of the program is relatively inexpensive. An annual membership fee of $15 affords students the opportunity to utilize the evening child care services and facilities of the Club. Students pay only $5 per night to take advantage of the plan. Few, if any, organizations offer child care at such an affordable rate. The program, however, cannot be started unless a minimum of 15 students participate. Students wishing to take advantage of the program must sign up now. Waiting until next semester will only close the window of child care opportunity. The college still has to wrestle with the dilemma of dealing with preschool children. Since the program only services children from 6 to 18 years of age, parents needing preschool care need to seek help elsewhere. Still, the program is a step in the right direction. Currently, the Boys and Girls Club has child care programs during the day. This new program would simply extend this program into the evening hours. OUR VIEWS Editor studies taxonomy of critics Preparatory to anything else, the person wishing to write a statement, editorial in nature, should examine the critics of the art of o psonization. It seems that whenever an opinion is advanced, an opposing opinion of lesser, equal or greater force is advanced to reverse the stress brought on by the opinion of thefirstparty (known to many as the politician's first law of verbal dynamics). Through careful examination of opposing opinions, we find revealed a taxonomical classification of the realm of critics at large. From the kingdom Animalia, phylum Vertibrae, class Mammalia, order New World, family Nuclear and the genus Criticus, we can discern several unique species who participate in the symbiotic evolutionary cycle of argumentative discourse. Criticus equatus: Propels earthly arguments into the logical ozone with encapsulated analogies that equate the mundane with the extraterrestrial. e.g. You buy the last pound of ground turkey flesh from the grocery store. Mrs. Smith, wanting the fowl, becomes so enraged by the buy she goes to the library and reads how to build a thermonuclear devise (Popular Science, March 1972pp. 74). She gathers enough plutonium from discarded smoke detectors and pacemakers and constructs a warhead roughly the size of New Hampshire which she proceeds to detonate at your house. The Pentagon perceives the explosion as an attack from the Soviet Union (they were faking internal troubles) and launches its entire entourage of ICBMs at Moscow which retaliates by launching its entire entourage of ICBMs at Washington D.C. resulting in total and complete world obliteration and global destruction. Therefore you must become a vegetarian. Criticus oxymoronicus: Inclined to correct ideologies ofthose holding incorrect political persuasions, unaware that arguments political in nature inherently may be deemed controversial by the correctitudes of opposing latitudes, thereby boggling the nature of macrocorrectness with microspeculations of verbatically deemed incorrectness. e.g. Prone to tarry over the nature of words that aclvertentlyDr inadvertently propagate racial, gender or other stereotypical t itles through their spelling or inference. Black-list, black-ball, beanpole,chairman, manhole, mandate, Mexican,Mexican',, girl, boy, boyEDITOR-IN-CHIEF toy, oh boy. Criticus insultus: Throws argument to the wind, logic to the dogs and opponent to the wolves. Responds to a well thought out argument with a conflagration of anti-personal razz-ma-tazz. e.g. George Bush's Willie Horton rabbit punch to Michael Dukakis (liberal) in the 1988 presidential elections. Michael Dukakis' uppercut to George Bush's squeaky voice (whimp) in the 1988 presidential elections. The media's attack on Ted Kennedy (womanizer, dunderhead, cheat, murderer). Congress' barrage on California state senator Alan Cranston, who was involved with the sagacious, magnificent Keating five (crook). Third-grader Johnnie's cheap shot to third-grader Sally (you're ugly). Third-grader Sally's return slam to third-grader Johnnie (I know you are but what am I).

A THOUGHT: "How long does a man spend dying? What does it mean to say 'forever'?" PABLO NERUDA I personally find the opinion of Nov. 12 Pioneer regarding "Basic courses essential at CSUSM" to be a little naive, to say the least. It appears that the writer has joined the ranks of some of the other "snifflers" and "Whiners" roaming our campus. They seem to join our campus with that trailblazing spirit then develop a c ritical c ase of " Iwantitis" or "gimmeegimmeeitits." We all applied to CSUSM as juniors (that was the qualification for entrance) with thé understanding that no lower division course work was going to be offered. I remember on one visit to MiraCosta College, a CSUSM representative told us of the writing requirement so that we would have time (spring semester 1990) to update our skills if they were rusty. Yes, the population of our campus are reentry students. However, re-entry in this sense applies to late-bloomers - those students that delay beginning their educational goals. For most, the gap you mentioned is between high school and college not between lower and upper division coursework. We are transfer students, that is transferring directly from a local junior college such as MiraCosta or Palomar. Twenty-five hundred words or not,how could anyone transfer as a junior without having some basic foundation in math, science, and English? Math and English have a progression in our JCs - placement tests are taken and the student follows a prescribed outline based upon where he/she places on the exam. These courses are also covered in the basic lower division GE coursework requirements for entrance to most universities. To knowingly transfer into an upper division campus such as ours without any experience would not place the blame on CSUSMforatransferstudentnotbeingprepared. I would, however, go back or write to the junior college and let these feeder schools know how they could have prepared you better. Our JCs are responsible for lower division coursework. Therefore, I would: • tell them that they need to offer more class sections in those basic areas. • tell them that they need to redesign their programs in order to prepare their students to be successful at CSUSM (for example, all classes should stress writing not just English classes). As far as our identity is concerned, one can achieve that feeling of oneness by doing the very thing that most students avoid - getting involved! I, and most of my friends, managed to transfer in the fall of 1990 to CSUSM, pull an extra lower division class at Palomar, hold down a job, take care of a family and be involved with the university in some capacity. Our identity was proudly earned as CSUSM students. Yes we did breath a sigh or relief when we were through with the local JC but that did not inhibit our efforts to put our university on the map by getting involved. Whether it was the Student Governance Task Force or a subcommittee thereof, the writing center, the yearbook, ji«t¡c& ?j*i%y>"t oifr G U n ry/ir V My suggestion is to stop crying over those things that aren * t here by being an active participant in what is here! There is a wonderful writing center staffed with extremely qualified writers to help those writing requirement blues. There is also a newly formed Mathlab equally staffed with qualified personnel to deal with that math anxiety. Not to mention ongoing workshops by EOP and Career Placement and Planning that deal with these PUBLIC FORUM very problems! Don't forget our Counseling Services that can help with coping techniques as a Pioneer contributor, a member of the Psychol- well. We also are fortunate to have concerned, ogy or History Club, or whatever, we got involved.

This semester we have our first clubs/orga- CSUSM and most are willing to help you get nization and publication still quite active. We back on track. Our campus is still small and it behooves all have also formed a strong student government.

In most instances the cause of extinction is attributed to humankind's encroachmentuponthefragileecosystems in which these organisms live. The San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido holds 41 endangered species. This special series examines the stories of three of the Park's species' struggle for survival. Theirs are stories of hope and despair, triumph and frustration. Each tale will examine the controversies and problems facing each species' fight for life. u p c o m i n g GORILLAS L IKE THE MYTHOLOGICAL PHOENIX which rose from the ashes of extinction, the California condor may find a new beginning amidst the destruction of its species. Next month, officials at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido plan to reintroduce the condor into the wild by releasing a male and a female bird from captivity. The California condor, which has been extinct in the wild since 1987, represents the most highly publicized success story at the Park. Currently all 52 existing California condors live in captivity. Twenty-four of them dwell in a " condominiuma $150,000 condor breeding center located at the Park. Next month's release represents a decade of efforts to save the majestic bird. Former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. S. Dillon Ripley stated, "The condor represents . .. one of the very few natural genetic reservoirs, unchanged since Pleistocene times a million years ago. It should be preserved as a biological resource." As a link to the past, the California condor is unique in its attributes. It has a wingspan of eight to nine and a half feet, making it the largest indigenous flying bird in North America. It can rise up to four miles in altitude and glide down 150 miles. California condors are relatives of vultures and feed of animals that are already dead. They are not equipped with talons for catching live prey. Myths of condors carrying small children away are completely false, since condors utilize all their wing power to lift their 25-pound bodies off the ground. "The bird has a magical attraction,** says Bill Toone, curator of birds at the Wild Animal Park. ' The condor has immense charisma. It is completely silent and absolutely a master of control in the air. The condor is a tremendous demonstration of power and control. Therein lies the importance of its conservation.** Toone started his association with the Park in the late 1970s as a grad student studying how captive behavior effects the hormones and breeding practices of birds. He says he had no intention to concentrate on condors as a student, but the b ird's majesty hooked him.

CONTINUED/FROM PAGE 8 environment in the future, officials reserve their optimism as to whether or not-the species can survive in the wild. * Tom Hanscom, director of Public Relations at the Wild Animal Park, cites that the reasons for the condor's demise have yet to be determined. Many of the factors that destroyed the giant b ird's population still e xist Scientists speculate that apart from human encroachment and hunters' bullets, lead poisoning may have been a primary agent in the natural extinction of the condors. Some condors feeding on game left behind by hunters ingested lead shotgun pellets imbedded in the carrion. Others may have died by consuming poisoned carcasses set out as bait to kill coyotes. "Our problem is we haven't cleaned up the environment that caused the condors' extinction. This is not a biologically sound reintroduction, it is a politically sound one," Hanscom says. Toone indicates that people should expect to see the deaths of at least 20 of the released condors; but, he adds, these deaths will help scientists determine the reasons for the animal's natural extinction. "Deaths in the field will be affordable on a species level," says Toone. According to Toone, each bird will be radio tagged and monitored continuously by scientists. If a condor dies, its body can be located and studied to determine the cause of death. The information will then aid conservationists in eliminating the factors which originally caused the condors' extinction. Toone also agrees with Hanscom that the condor release program is more a sound ''political" move than a biological one. Under the Federal Endangered Species Act, the habitat occupied by an animal facing extinction is protected f rom human encroachment and development. Builders are prohibited from construction on lands occupied by endangered species. Because of the vast area of land the condor occupies, the bird is referred to as an "umbrella species." Within its 150 square-mile domain lives 56 different endangered species.

After the condor became extinct in the wild, protection of its natural habitat was lifted. When the two birds are released next month, its lands will once again fall under an umbrella of federal protection. Since the condor holds such a high profile of media attention, developers will be more informed on condor lands protected under the Endangered Species Act. As a result, lower profile animals, such as the cactus wren, that share habitats with the condor will find their homes protected as well. G E N E R A L L Y SPEAKING, captive breeding programs at the Wild Animal Park serve only to augment populations in the wild. In the case of the California condor, captive breeding has completely saved the species. In 1982, biologists began scouring the condor's habitat for eggs to be reared in captivity. Only a handful of condors remained and the only hopes for the animal's future rested in animal sanctuaries. Previously, zoologists were reluctant to collect condor eggs because the natural population of th£birds would be seriously depleted. "Because of the hostile habitat, we couldn't afford to have any more of the animals die," says Toone. He states that the Wild Animal Park approached the condor p hotos b y R ON GARRISON/for the WILD ANIMAL PARK A zoologist at the San Diego Wild Animal Park nurtures a newly hatched condor chick. breeding program with optimism. In the 1940s, the San Diego Zoo developed the first captive breeding program of the Andean Condor. The program was a success and proved that condors were relatively easy animals to take care of. According to Toone, finding condor eggs was no easy task. Since 99 percent of condors do not build nests, biologists had to find caves (usually at high altitudes in cliff sides) where the condors laid their eggs.

Toone says that eggs were gathered in February with the hopes that the female would lay another before the breeding season came to a close.

Since that time the California condor breeding program soared into orbit. In 1988 Molloko, the first California condor ever conceived and hatched in captivity, brought renewed hopes of the animal's future. Last year Park condors laid 26 eggs, as many as three eggs per female condor. Once a condor is hatched, it is immediately placed in an infant isolette. The chick is nurtured and raised through the use of condor puppets to insure that the condor can recognize other condors. Toone says that after six or seven years the condors reach maturity and are able to reproduce. It is only when they reach this point that biologists will reintroduce them to the wild. Next year, Toone hopes the Park and the Los Angeles Zoo (which has a similar program) will release six condors. He says that because each bird costs about $250,000 to develop and monitor, reintroduction into the wild will be a slow and expensive process. "We want to develop three selfsustaining populations that are geographically distant, each with 100 birds," says Toone. "It might happen in my lifetime."

It is so easy to be interrupted when studying for finals. I just received my fall edition of "Yosemite Magazine." The lead article is about something close to my h eart... the photography of Yosemite. The beautiful pictures reminded me of the wonderful times I have had photographing Yosemite before my days at Cal State San Marcos. The desire to pack up and run to the high country pulls on my very v being. I have a real affinity for Yosemite and hay & visited, the national park at least 20 or so times; but only once have I been there in the winter. Gone were the screaming kids, the packed paths, the traffic jams, the sights of beauty teaming with humanity. Instead, a solitude invades the valley, the pace slows down and beauty can be admired in solo wonder. Warm cabins and lodge rooms are available at the Yosemite Lodge and Camp Curry. The winter rates remain reasonable for a resort. All of the restaurants and stores stay open for winter guests. The park keeps the roads clear of snow and, so long as good preparation for winter clothing and gear are met, the trip is beyond reward. I stayed at the Yosemite Lodge and early every morning I was rewarded with the sight of Yosemite Falls frozen to the face of the sheer granite wall. During the night the breeze fanned the falling water so that the ice framed both sides of the falls for many yards. As the sun penetrated into the valley and warmed the rock walls, the ice cracked, rumbled and thundered as it fell hundreds of feet to the boulders below. The Merced River, which rages in the spring, becomes as a tame kitten in the winter. The edges of the river become frozen like a winter pond while the center stays clear. The peaceful flowing water Snow clings to thr rocky face of one of Yosemite's majestic landmarks during the national park's calm winter months. reflects the majesty of a Yosemite winter day: snow-capped river rocks, snow-encrusted pine trees, snow-topped sheer granite walls and white clouds framed in blue skies. But winter in Yosemite is not just the splendor of the big scene, it is also the beauty of an autumn leaf varnished with a coat of frozen crystals or the pattern of a patch of snow on a dead, charred log. I t's a cold, quiet walk followed by Irish Coffee to warm up the system. If you love Yosemite in die summer, you'll adore it in the winter. For those that desire more strenuous winter wonder, Yosemite offers both cross-country and downhill skiing. Buses commute between the valley floor and Badger Pass a lt day, every day. The Yosemite Association didn't have to send me their quarterly journal right at the beginning of finals for it has sent my mind a wondering and I think I have talked myself into a winter break trip to Yosemite. My husband has never seen Yosemite in the snow and I c an't wait to share the beauty witjt him. �Holiday season filled with traditional and new performances A C hristinas C arol: C harles Dickens' holiday tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts of Christmas is staged by several groups this holiday season. • Jonathan McMurtry stars in the San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of this classic.

The other end of the critics scale, the part that needs some work still, is the plant itself. Although the execution and voice of the alien vegetable is without flaw, the actual puppet has had better days. The plant props were rented; however, the theater isn't getting its money's worth. The plant is torn and missing obvious parts (a tooth for example). With the talent and skills at the Moonlight, they would have been better off building their own puppets. The Cool Urchins and company end with a song imploring those watching not to feed the plants. Even if you don't, you must see this show.

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

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

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

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

Ti Don't misinterpret professors' actions I perceive a tendency a mong t he CSUSM student body to mislabel sexist t he actions of some of our faculty.

I believe insufficient thought is often given to what exactly t he intent of a professor's actions mightbe.Thisinsufficientthought is exemplified in an editorial r un by t he Pioneer in t he Nov. 17,1992 issue. In a n a rticle e ntitled " Feminist movement with a new twist," Pioneer Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie grossly misinterprets t he underlying message in a feminist film (unquestionably Marleen Gorris> "A Question of Silence") and consequently misinterprets t he intent of the professor that played t he film.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CSUSM music professor beats to African drum Eyi came to the United States to share his love for music and the African drum. As a master African drummer, he represents t he California Arts Council as an artist in residence for the San Diego City Schools and has found his home at Cal State San Marcos teaching music and dance. a My objective in the United States is to teach,* Eyi explains. "I think people like me are needed to teach about my music.* Eyi admits h e keeps busy in his quest of sharing his music. But every once in a while, h e gets out and jams with some of hisfriends.Most recently, that was at the Jazz by the Way Cafe in San Marcos. On the conga, Eyi gives an unusual and not very traditional aspect to t he Jazz band, Joy Spring. But h e feels that there aren't too many boundaries for his instrument "The conga is an instrument that can be used for various types of music,* Eyi said in between sets at the cafe. "It's the same as the guitar. It's the same instrument, butyou canuse itfor different styles.* Eyi's experience as a drummer comes from his native land of Africa, where h e is considered to be a master at his trade. There, his music and dance is never separated. "The master drummer speaks to the dancer,* Eyi said. He explained that through the performance, the dancer can be instructed to move forward or back, to jump and dance side to side — an unlimited number of moves—just by the beat of the rhythm. "When you get to the point when you can communicate with the dancer, then you are a master drummer.* How long has Eyi been a drummer? "If you ask me as an African, it's very hard to tell,* Eyi said, adding that h e has been playing since he was a small boy. "But if you ask me how long I've played professionally, then it's been about 15 years.* Eyi will soon be transferring his artist residence to the Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Art, a magnet school in the Vista Unified School District Out of all of his many jobs teaching and playing, h e looks forward to that the m ost "That gives me a lot of pleasure,* h e said.

EXPLORE/PAGE 9 A NEW TWIST FOR BUDDY MOVIES In Hollywood, the recent trend in celluloid is die macho buddy movie. In these films male bonding runs amok and women are treated as nothing more than sex objects. With Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise," the buddy movie format is rewritten.

The library's west wing will move into the Foundation Building, formerly the Green Tiger Press Building, along with Auxiliary Services. The new site is on Carmel Road, off Twin Oaks Valley Road just south of Highway 78. The permanent site of CSUSM can be seen from the building. Auxiliary Services has already moved into the building; the library's acquisitions and processing department will move during Spring Break. "We'll move into a new office and have more space, but it won't be here," said Marion Reid, library director. Currently, the temporary campus holds 20,000 volumes of books. Students can check these books out three different ways - by appointment, during scheduled browsing times or by paging - but students do not have access to the entire CSUSM collection. There are over 40,000 volumes in possession; the remaining books are packed away in boxes. Reid said the Foundation Building can hold up to 120,000 volumes at build-out Craven Hall, scheduled to open in spring of 1993, will hold 80,000 volumes. At the current rate of acquisition, the university will befilledto that capacity by 1998 or 1999, Reid said. ThehtarybuildingonthepOTiianentcampus is scheduled to begin construction in phase two, which is awaiting finances. The move may not affect the students, according to Reid. She is unsure at this point in planning if students will be able to visit the Foundation Building, and is pursuing another option. "I foresee the development of a more efficient paging system," Reid said. Paging is when a studentfindsthe needed book in the card catalog and then orders it; the book is found and taken to the library's front desk in about half a day, according to Reid. "But we needamore up-to-date card catalog," Reid said. Of the total bodes in stock, only 12,000 volumes are in the card catalog. "So the solution is to get the Automated Library System up and working," Reid said in reference to the newly acquired computerized card catalog. "It'll provide a more complete l ist" The system's mainframe is undergoing tests at the Foundation Building and staff members have completed several hours of training. "My target date is to have it running by the time the books are out of here," Reid said. Executive Vice President, Dick Rush, said the Foundation has signed afive-yearlease with "very favorable terms" from the building's owner, Jerry Macchia. Rush said Macchia, a local resident,kept the building in good condition and thus, needs little renovation. "It was all ready for us and that's a great advantage," Rush said. The Foundation can resign the lease after five years or may have the option to buy. Rush hopes that in the future someone will buy the building a donate it to the Foundation. The Foundation Building is a two-level, 11300 structure. The library will occupy the three-story warehouse on the first floor and Auxiliary Services will occupy the second floor. Women still dominate enrollment For the first time in its short history, students at Cal State San Marcos are faced with crowded parking lots, bookstore lines and impacted classes as a result of growing enrollment Yet, problems associated with impaction at CSUSM are minimal when compared to nearby San Diego State University and most of the other CSU-system schools. CSUSM is one of the three CSU schools that was not forced to reduce its enrollment this semester due to system-wide budgetary stress. As of Feb. 10, the population at the infant university grew by 144 students. The amount represents a 12 percent increase over last semester. Spring 1991 enrollment reached only 634 students. Demographically, women still comprise the majority of the students, filling 70 percent of classroom seats. The male population climbed 3 percent over last semester, but still remains far below state and national enrollment averages. The University's goal of 750 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students was surpassed with an average of 853.86 students qualifying for FTE status. Last semester, the university was just shy of attaining its 750 FTE goal. State funding for the university is guided by the number of FTE students enrolled. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said he is pleased with the enrollmentfigures,butadds that highernumbers of students make getting classes more difficult "I think we can handle820FTEs with people Ethnicity Gender 7.7% Hispanic —y^C.

The combined number of FTE students from fall 1991 and spring 1992 float high above the university's original projections. - Even with the increased enrollment, minority representation remains low. Of the various ethnic groups represented at the university, 65 percent are white while only 1.5 percent of students are African Americans. Hispanics comprise the largest representation ofCSUSM's minority population by holding 7.7 percent of the total enrollment Only 55 students enrolled, or 4.4 percent of the population, are of Asian descent.

The university continues to top system-wide and nation-wide comparisons of minority and female representation among its faculty. Next semester, when CSUSM moves to its permanent site off Twin Oaks Valley Road, the student population is expected to climb to over 2,000. �N ews B riefs Commencement being planned Dr. Bill Stacy, Cal State San Marcos President, has confirmed that March 23 is when commencement for the first graduating seniors will be.

Thefts commonplace at university facilities L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER "Dora it appears as though there has been a possible break-in in Bldg. 800 through one of the Emergency doors. The Police have been called and I'll have a police report on Monday when you return to work" On Dec. 26 at 6:30 p.m., P ora Knoblock of Support Services received a call from the campus' Janitorial Service regarding a possible break-in on campus. When she retrieved the message at approximately 7:40 a.m. four days later, Knoblock was faced with the latest of a string of thefts occurring at the temporary f acility of Cal State San Marcos. Missing was a sophisticated sound system and stereo belonging to the College of Arts and Sciences. The equipment was valuedat about $ 4300 and was needed for a noontime concert scheduled on the first day of classes. In November, hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise was stolen from the Full Belly Deli, which shares Building 820 with the university. During the same month, another burglary was thwarted in Aztec Shops, the campus' bookstore, when an alarm system in the store frightened ¿way the perpetrators. In both incidents, burglars gained access to the rooms through the buildings' skylights. An official from the Koll Company, which manages the complex, said the skylights have been secured since the episodes to help curtail similar future incidents. But past burglaries on the campus have utilized different modes of entry than skylights and jimmied doors. On O ct 22 1990, almost $1,500 worth of merchandise was lifted from Aztec Shops. The offenders gained access into the building by breaking the shop's rear window. Stolen items included watches, calculators and Simpsons p^raphemália. A Macintosh computer and thousands of dollars in softwareremaineduntouched. Two plaster masks were taken from cabinets in the room where a fine arts class was held last semester. The masks were class projects by stum[f>®§ dents Pat Ward and Vickie Weir TTKIBIfire f or i nstructor PART ONE David Avalos. IN A SERIES Sociology P rofessor D r.. Thomas Shey said that higher rates c^^^BSett^Cnbq^ieiitly reflect troubled economic times. He said that many thefts are internal, perpetrated by individual with greater access to goods than outsiders. "On average, a lot more is stolen than is known to be stolen," Shey Said. According to Shey, thefts are instigated by members of all social classes and not just by those of lower economic status. Because of the diverse blend of students and faculty, universities are especially vulnerable targets. Campus burglaries can be máde to look like normal everyday activity since equipment is routinely shifted around by staff and students. Patricia Farris, director of Business Services, said that, because the campus is currently difficult to recognize as a university campus, the rate of theft at CSUSM could be lower than average. "It is helpful to us that we're not easily identified as a university," she said. Lieutenant Tom Schultheis, from San Diego State University's Public Safety Department, said that incidents of theft at CSUSM are low when compared to other CSU schools. He said that theft rates are contingent upon the size of campus and the economic community in which it exists. "We have a very high incidence of property crimes at SDSU," Schultheis said. "But if you look at the figures closely, rates of theft are relatively proportionate."* Since CSUSM has not yet formed a p olicing a gency of i ts o wn, Schultheis consults and aids thè campus with its theft problems. For the recent incident, Knoblock . handed the case over to Schultheis. Generally, incidents of theft on CSU campuses are handled by university police and noflócaì law enforcement agencies. Campus police forces are run by the state and have full law enforcement abilities. Schultheis said he believes the sound system theft was a "crime of convenience" orchestrated by youths. Because the campus was not staffed during the Christmas break, it was vulnerable for an unnoticed break-in. « Locks on two doors in the 800 Building were broken by strong gripping devices, like p lumber's wrenches, that could have been acquired by many people. Apart from the door on Room 101, which contained the sound system, the locks on an identical door leading to Financial Services were also broken. "Nothing leads me to believe that SEE THEFT/PAGE 4 Physical Plant to open this month Several departments will move into the first completed building on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus Feb. 24. Mail Services, Shipping and Receiving, Warehousing, Facility Services, Environmental Health and Occupational Safety departments will set up permanently in the Physical P lant The Procurement and Accounting departments will move to the site on a temporary basis, utilizing the space reserved for the campus' future Public Safety officers. Pat Farris, director of Business Services, said the move will begin Feb. 24 with everything being moved from the temporary site, now being used to hold classes. The departments will not be operations until Feb. 26, Farris anticipates, giving the staff time to unpack. The Physical Plant is located on the north-east corner of campus., accessible from New Barham Drive. The* L-shaped building is one of five buildings in Phase I of the 300acre campus construction. Craven Hall, the six-story feature building, will be completed in November, but will not b e occupied until Spring of 1993. The lecture and lab buildings, comprising the academic core, will be completed in July and open next fall. T he C ommons, h ousing t he bookstore and Student Union, will b e completed In September. �Proposed female condoms will add additional protection In case you haven't seen the bulletin board outside of Student Health Services or paid attention to the media recently, National Condom Week was being celebrated. Actually, throughout the month of February, all CSU campuses will celebrate a National Condom Week. This event began at UC Berkeley in the 1970s and has become a high profile educational campaign. With that and the mass media giving attention to the use ofcondoms, although blatantly not allowing advertising on the major television networks, condoms seem to be coming of age. I was pleasantly surprised'and amazed that on a Peter Jenning's special "AIDS in America," two teenage boys were allowed to role play with honest and frank discussion on the correct use of condoms, with a demonstration of application on a banana. This was major network television. Even if you think you know everything already, in this day and age there is always more to learn about sexually transmitted diseases and safer sex. Now on the horizon is the Female Condom, which very recently was approved by an advisory panel to the Food and Drag Administration (FDA). This particular female condom (there are two other versions) has already been approved in Switzerland and soon will be distributed in France and Great Britain. Hopefully, it will be available within six to 10 months in the U.S. Many experts feel the female condom is a major breakthrough since it empowers women. "Women will no longer have to negotiate with a man or be dependent on a man for protecting her," said Dr. Mervyn Silverman, president of the American Foundation for AIDS research.

The other ring lies outside the vagina. According to the company, the polyurethane is stronger than latex while still being soft and thin; the outer ring provides broader protection since it covers genital areas not covered by a male condom. In small studies to date, the female condom has a similar pregnancy rate as other barrio* contraceptive devised and also offers excellent protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Other female devises, such as the diaphragm or cervical cap, o ffer no protection against sexually transmitted diseases. The major disadvantage of the female condom is expected to be its price. The expected cost is about $2.25 for one condom for one-time use. Most likely there will be discounts for publicly-funded clinics; however, its costs still may be prohibitive to many women and perhaps to some who would benefit the m ost It seems that patients are using condoms more frequently; however, I am distressed that a common response in the patient interview is that, " I use condoms most of the time."

But, judging from recent past experiences, any real degree of student involvement seems unlikely. Either because the campus is purely a commuteroriented facility, or duetothe fact that many students are too busy at home with families of their own, participa- OUR VIEWS STAFF Lincoln short-changed by CSUSM Four score and several years ago, our forefathers had a holiday dedicated to a man that was dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal. Four score and several months ago that holiday was abolished and replaced with an occasion that is dedicated to the unruly proposition that all presidents were created equal. I ' m talking, ofcourse, about the demise of the holiday that was once known as Lincoln's Birthday, but is now affectionately renounced as Presidents' Day. Naturally, Lincoln's Birthday still exists, but he had the misfortune of being born in the same month as another great man, George Washington (who, like Honest Abe, once had a special place on the calendar reserved for his birth but is resigned to spend eternity as "just another one of those presidents with wooden teeth who we honor with Presidents* Day."). I surveyed seven grade-schoolers, asking them if they knew the actual day of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The overwhelming response was a resounding "I dunno," or "Who cares, we don't get out of school for i t" For those trivia buffs who can recall back just a few years to Lincoln's Birthday celebrations, it is Feb. 12. Okay, so Abe Lincoln has to share a holiday with Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carta*, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Grover Cleveland, Andrew Johnson e t all the rest. I can actually live with these arrangements. For that one day of the year known as Presidents' Day, I can pay homage to one of my all-time favorite dead persons. What causes my spleen to fester is Cal State San Marcos' reluctance to observe the holiday. For that day, governmental offices are closed, mail delivery ceases and .grocery clerks get paid triple time for half the work. Since I happen to have classes on the day on which Presidents' Day occurred, I was unable to work at the grocery store and earn triple pay while thanking Abe Lincoln for making it so. What I find particularly disturbing, albeit politically correct, is the fact that the CSUSM campus was completely closed on Jan. 20 for Martin Luther King's Birthday. Although I believe Martin Luther King was a great man worthy of a national holiday, I do not believe that he should be allotted a higher position in the holiday h ierarchy by CSUSM than Lincoln. By c losing t he campus' doors f or EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MartinLuther King's Birthday and keeping them open for President's Day, CSUSM demonstrated just how intoxicated it has become by the hallucinogenic term we have come to know as "political correctness." Under the doctrine of "political correctness," traditional American heroes like Lincoln are being replaced by contemporary ethnic heroes like Martin Luther King."Political correctness" affords no opportunity for the melding of old and new ideologies, rather it encourages sacrificing traditions for the new global awareness order. If CSUSM had kept its doors open during Martin Luther King's Birthday, it undoubtedly would have opened itselftoattack by factions claiming that theinstitution of higher education was supporting racism. These same factions complained when San Diego rejected a proposition to name its Convention C ento after the important African American leader, even though Martin Luther King had nothing at all to do with commerce in San Diego. Because not one of our presidents was a minority, the university was safe in keeping its doors open without factional outcry. One important note should be posted on why Presidents' Day was created in the first place. Since Martin Luther King's birthday fell so close to Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, creating a holiday for the civil rights leader would place too many government-sanctioned holidays too close together. By forming Presidents' Day, room could be made to accommodate a holiday for Dr. King. Now King is the only person to have a federal and state holiday all to himself. Somehow that notion places Lincoln on a l ow» shelf. It is ironic that two men who so strongly championed the cause of equality can get such unequal billing on the calendar marquis. LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITORIAL tion in organizations and events on campus has been disappointing at best. For example, last semester CSUSM President Bill Stacy heldi open forums where students could share the obstacles incurred while attending the new university. Despite the fact that Stacy scheduled four separate of these meetings at different days and times to accommodate all willing students, only a handful took advantage of the opportunity to share their gripes with the president of a university. The Associated Students is always in the need of volunteers to get involved with academic committees and student affairs; yet, positions remain unfilled. As the campus population grows, student participation in A.S. elections has dropped from 35 percent to less than 17 percent. Although CSUSM's first yearbook, the Tukut, came out this spring, Editor Barbara Pender had trouble finding helperstoputthe book together. The remarkable finished product was completed by only a few dedicated students. Even the student newspaper has difficulty getting students involved. This editorial, for instance, will possibly generateagreatdeal of verbal studentresponse; however very, very few students will take a half hour of their time and share their views in letter form. Sure their are the exceptions to the dismal rule. The students who worked on the Tukut are just one example. Other students play active roles in student government and regularly write to Pioneer. Still others have formed clubs like the the Argonaut Society or SA.L.T. to share their special views. These organizations and others are designed, intentionally or not, to appeal to the special interests of students to make their college experience more enjoyable and productive. The Star Trek club, for instance, invites students to go where no one has gone before, while the soccer club asks students to physically show their competitive spirit. Hopefully the acceptance of the new clubs and organizations will inspire students to actively participate in campus events and place a piece of themselves into the foundation of CSUSM. If not, this infant university is doomed to grow into a troubled adolescent �Recent court battles redefine what it means when a woman says 'NO' PIONEER Cal State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeths, Ken Baurmeister, Dr. JoelGrinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992. by PIONEER.

A THOUGHT; "Evil report carries farther than any applause." BALTASAR GRACIAN, 1647 "Pardon me, sir, but what part of the word "NO" don't you understand?" As of the Mike Tyson date-rape conviction, this is no long»* a joke. Rape of any type was never funny. Now, finally, date assaults may be taken more seriously. What has changed with the Tyson conviction that makes this case a bellwether? The setting and circumstance of the Tyson trial made the case against the male assaulter more credible at a time that our country had barely digested the less convincing accusations of Anita Hill (charging then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas with sexual harassment), and **** (charging William Kennedy Smith with date rape). Anita Hill just wasn't completely buyable. On-going polls reflected American's split in their perception of her recollections. Likewise, public opinion ofMr. Thomas was dichotomatic. Particularly discrediting to Ms. Hill's case was the breadth and depth of Mr. Thomas' witnesses recounting their amicable demeanor while together. From high-powered Washington D.C. attorneys to prestigious lawprofessors, the story was consistent that she was fond of the judge, admired and respected him, and certainly closely followed in his career progressions. It seemed impossible that this many students of the law and workplace ethics - black and white, male and female - could have missed any sign of the personal torture she swore to. Ultimately, Mr. Thomas won the painfully sought seat on the land's highest bench. Probably the truth suffered the most in this Senate debacle. There is no longer value in discussing what really happened. Those emotional days are testimony to democracy's potentially wretched DAVID HAMMOND GUEST COLUMNIST side of public scrutiny of private facts in the lives of civil servants. However, the country strangely benefited. Suddenly, sexual harassment was real to everyone, instead of just its victims. Employers redoubled efforts to prevent the problem, including sensitivity training, heightened awareness, and stricter corporate policy and punishment The pain was out of the closet and the jokes got canned. In my own personal experiences, myselfand other bachelors evaluated our vocabulary and posturing with women. We weren't the bad guys before, but now we would stricdy mind our manners. Then the arrest and trial of William Kennedy Smith jarred our collective psyche again before our new correctness couldbackslide. Once again, the issues were cast by celebrity-size characters. The alleged victim became a familiar blue hue, a seeming metaphor for a loss of dignity and self. The Kennedy clan performed like a circusvargas. Central to the drama was Ted "Chapaquidick" Kennedy trying to downplay the well established stud image of his family heritage. All the stories of John F. Kennedy White House orgies resurfaced. The male Kennedy mind-set was best exemplified by the "traditional" Easter brunch discussion that weekend: did Willie really rape this girl? Unfortunately, Ms. ****'s story spurred some reasonable doubts. She left with a stranger from a single's bar. She took off her panty-hose prior to a walk on the beach. She called William, her alleged assailant, Michael. Once again, democracy's soft-side prevented a potential breach ofjustice by barring punishment without absolute certainty of criminal behavior. Unfortunately, the system's penchant for safeguards began discouraging women's faith in justice. It was easy - even rational - to be cynical. Two major cases for sexual misconduct became two brilliant examples of women's vulnerability. In the case of Mike Tyson, the pieces fell together for the prosecution. There was nodoubt that sex had occurred. Robin Givens, Tyson's ex-wife, once told national TV that Mr. Tyson resented to domestic violence to get his way. Instead of the accused being a judge, or medical student, he was an ex-con with repeat offenses. The jury believed that the victim said "No," and that Mr. Tyson forced sexual intercourse. The conviction was rape. Democracy is no easy game to play. The system constantly strains to balance justice with civil rights. Hence, the system is an act of collective faith. That is, its participants must assume that it works more often than it fails. When it does work, and it usually does, it is the greatest act of humankind in motion. Today, women may have just a little more faith in justice protecting them. D vd H m o d is a f r e C U M su e t a i a mn om r S S t d n Check out what's rolling off the presses Have you seen the new San Diego UnionTribune? Or a more recent change, have you seen the new San Diego Reader? Both newspapers have drastically changed the form of their publication and the look. Now, have you seen the new Pioneer? Yes, Pioneer is different this semester. If you can recall back to last semester, this Cal State San Marcos newspaper was twice the size as the one your holding. There was color, two sections and even a Classified Section. The reasons for our change could be paralleled to those of the larger newspapers mentioned, yet on a much smaller scale. The results are the same too. The main reason is, of course, advertising. Pioneer does not rely on CSUSM or Associated Students funding to support each issue. Instead, the editions, as well as supplies, utilities, business expenses and licenses are paid totally through advertising. Last semester, businesses were advertising within these pages because we had caught your attention with a student-oriented publication and an intercollegiate circulation. We can confirm that CSUSM students and students at five other North County colleges were reading our paper. The problem is that you're not reading the ads. This issue, read the news content and thai browse through to see the specials offered within the ads. As a teaser, the Earthquake offers 20% discounts to students and Comedy Nite offers free admissions on certain nights; Touchless Car Wash has some of the best deals inside our paper. We have your readership. Now we need your support. Don't worry, Pioneer is not going under. But if you patronize the businesses advertised here, you ensure the return or a larger, more fun-filled publication.

Since the first students were accepted at Cal State San Marcos, that phrase has been spoken often on campus. But for the first several semesters, there was no one way for students to find out how to get involved with this infant university. Now with a student government in place that is currently recognizing the first campus clubs, Pioneer presents a comprehensive list o f... ¿«ORGANIZATIONS With the social aspect of Cal State San Marcos moving along in full force, the Associated Student Council is recognizing clubs for the first time. According to A.S. President Jose Chapman, there was no method of recognizing clubs officially until this semester. ' The concept of recognizing clubs is the same as San Diego State University, but is tailored to CSUSM's needs." said Chapman. The A.S. has established an Inter-Club Council ( ICQ for relations between itself and the clubs. The ICC's primary functions are to provide information sharing, leadership development and supply information to the A.S. Council. Gezai Berhane, College of Arts and Science rep- resentative, serves as chairman of the ICC. To get an organization officially recognized the club must* • submit an application, which can be obtained from the A.S. Office; • determine bylaws to be submitted with the application; • sign a non-discrimination statement, and; • contact the Office of Student Affairs so an account with Accounting Services may be established. The A.S. is giving an allowance of $50 to each club for start-up purposes; however, to receive the funds, a club must have at least five active members. The ICC held its first meeting last Friday. The Compiled by KIMBERLY COURTNEY and JONATHAN YOUNG club representatives decided to meet every other week with the next meeting on Feb. 28. Each club must send a representative to the 3 p.m. meetings in the Student Lounge. Currently, the interest level among clubs has been relatively high with an average of eight to 10 members per club, according to Chapman. Some clubs even have memberships of more than 20 students. He said the ICC can assist with the formation of new clubs and encourage the need for students to get involved. "I would like to see the clubs contribute to the expansion of their awareness, tighten social bonds and help students to advance socially and academically,** Chapman said. �DISCOUNT JUR FARES AROUND THE WORLD & ACROSS THE USA!

Basil embarks on the greatest case of his career when London's master toy maker is mysteriously kidnapped and the ingenious detective smells a rat named Ratigan as the perpetrator. Employing a variety of "mousequerades" and some elementary logic, Basil pursues his rat rival from the depths of London's sewers to the dizzying heights of Big Ben's clock tower. The breathtaking climax, set against the meshing gears of the giant clock, remains one of the most complex,, innovative and exciting sequences ever attempted in animation. "The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective" was Disney's 26th full length animated feature and, at the time of its initial release in 1986, signalled the beginning of a new period of productivity and experimentation for animation at the studio. "The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective" was the first animated feature to go into production under the new leadership of Jeffrey Katzenberg, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, and Roy £ . Disney, vice chairman of The Walt Disney Company. Their ongoing commitment to animation has resulted in some of Animators use computers # Computers proved to be an exciting tool for animators during the production of "The Adventure of the Great Mouse Detective" and played a larger role than ever before in the making of the Disney animated feature. The work in this film laid the groundwork for even more sophisticated applications that were to follow. For the film's dramatic climax, in which Basil confronts Ratigan in a deadly duel set against the turning and thrashing gear-works of Big Ben, the film makers combined their traditional artistry with the latest in technology to create B sl o B k r Sr e a d hs a mrn a ssa t D w o , s ac f r cu s i " h A v nue of t e Ge t M u e D t ci something new and exciting. a i f a e te t n i d ii g s i t n, a s n e r h o l e n T e d e t r s h r a o s ee tv . e' During the breathtaking twothe studio's most critically acclaimed Detective' is a great example of a from. minute sequence, characters and commercially successful efforts story that could only be told with "This was truly an animator's animated in the conventional, in recent times. animation.

Carlsbad project more like a prison than art DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER The ocean wavesrippleupon the sand while an orange glowfromthe setting sun reflects off the blue waters. A cool breeze brushes against the palm trees, rustling their leaves. These are the sights and sounds of a typical Southern California beach. The city of Carlsbad has decided to add a little something to their beach, a 7,500 squarefoot sculpture name "Split Pavilion." Most would assume that a sculpture only yards away from thebeachwouldbe conducivetothe environment it surrounds. However, this sculpture consists of steel bars and concrete pylons standing steadfastly, limiting most all views to the ocean. From the street, the sculpture's bars look like orderly sentries soaring to the sky, protecting the ocean from any onlooker. The concrete pylons represent large projectiles thrusting through the concrete sidewalk. There are seats for people to sit on and view the ocean, but they are shapeless, concrete blobs. Moreover, when people do sit on the seats, their views to the ocean are partially obstructed by more steel bars. While sitting anywhere within the sight of the sculpture, the viewer will be surrounded by steel bars and concrete walls and seats. Nowhere is there any parallel between the ocean and the sculpture. No soft colors, no soft materials, no diagonal lines, no curves. Every part of this sculpture juts toward the sky without bending or shaping. This is totally opposite to the beach, the ocean, the waves and die sun. There will be a fountain with water falling andrippling,creating some movement and some shape. But what need is there for a fountain with a beautiful ocean yards away? Created by New York artist, Andrea Blum, the "Split Pavilion" cost the city $338,000. The city began with a public review process for this piece in 1987. Now that the sculpture is almost done, some of the citizens of Carlsbad are dissatisfied with the way it looks; 4,000citizens of Carlsbad signed apetition wanting the sculpture to be removed. If Carlsbad wanted a piece of art to decorate its beaches, maybe it should have considered a local artist, one who might have combined the view with the sculpture instead of creating a sculpture that obstructs the view. This sculpture might have looked wonderful on a New York beach, but on a Southern California beach, it looks out of place. Carlsbad has a piece of art that looks like a prison. �Music Calendar Alexander O'Neal: Performs Feb. 29 at Sound FX, San Dieao 560-8022/278-TIXS Debbie Davles Band: Performs Feb. 22 at Blind Melons, San Diego. 483-7844 The Dickies: Performs Feb. 27 at Sound FX, San Diego 5608022/278-TIXS Common Sense: Performs at the Belly Up's Reggae Tuesday Feb. 18 at 9 p.m. 481-9022 Earl Thomas: Performs Feb. 18 at the Blind Melons.San Diego. 483-7844 Forbidden Pigs: Performs Feb. 29 at the Blind Melons, San Diego. 483-7844 John Mellencamp: Performs Feb. 20 at Los Angeles' Great Western Forum.

By now you all know the basic story. Two guys (one macho one not, or two macho but never two not macho) get together and experience that gagging spectacle known as male bonding. At the beginning of the flick the two guys hate each other, but for some reason are forced to work togetherfightingcrime. At the end of the movie both men are the best of friends. They beat up the bad guys, drink beer and denigrate women. The format began with Walter Hill's '48 Hours' starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. In that film we saw Nolte drink gallons of whiskey, Murphy approach a large number of women with blatant sexual advances, Nolte and Murphy continually beating up each other through thedurationof the flick, andabsolutely no endearing female characters. Richard D onner's ' Lethal Weapon' was slightly better mostly because of Mel Gibson's buns. Yet, apart from token parts, there were really no significant female roles. SEE CALENDAR/PAGE 15 fl** TROUGH | HU f i P àflnI B P f BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Women only filled slots that made the male parts look better. Each year a forest of this worthless celluloid springs up into the fertile ground ofour movie theaters and video stores, propagating stereotypes that should have fallen with the Bobby Riggs. But through the trees one little sapling of a buddy movie might change the lode of the celluloidjungle. With 'Thelma and Louise,' director Ridley Scott creates a buddy film where women finally arise victorious from the ashes of machismo. The plot centers around two women, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon), who turn to crime to compensate for male exploitation. The story begins when Louise invites Thelma to a mountain cabin for the weekend. Thelma is the victim of a marriage dominated by an insensitive louse of a husband. Louise, on the other hand, has trouble finding commitment in her long-term relationship (sound familiar?). When the two stop at a bar on the way to the mountains, the trouble begins. A local yokel tries to rape Thelma but is shot dead by a guntoting Louise. The two flee from the scene in a vintage Thunderbird and become fugitives. After all their money is stolen by yet another male slime, the women take to robbing convenience stores for cash. Again and again, Thelma and Louise are accosted by men and fight back with the vengeance of generations of suppressed women. Their bonding is not alcohol-induced, but incurred from a common thread of persecution. Davis accents her performance with a believable modicum of crazed desperation. Following her Oscarwinning performance in 'The Accidental Tourist,' she solidifies her stance as one of Hollywood's most versatile and dynamic actresses. Sarandon also exhibits a vulneratjUity not found in male-bonding flicks. Her Louise is the pillar of strength upon which the movie is built Harvey Keitel, who played the SEE THELMA/PAGE 15 TOUCHLESS CAR WASH L Beehive: Presented by the Theatre in Old Town, this rock musical from the 1960s is on stage in Old Town State Park, San Diego, through Feb. 22. 688-2494 Crimes and Reasons: This audience-participation dinner show is presented by Killer Dinner Theatre Productions and runs through April 1 at the Joyce Beers Community Center, San Diego.

We live different, we eat different, we think and dress different. Even our seasonal colors are different. When the rest of the U.S. tries to put a color name to California they usually use brown - California Brown. How very sad. Those people have never experienced what we are getting ready to witness - California Green. A special feeling emanates from California in February and it revolves around green. You know the type of green - so luminescent that your eyes squint from the reflected green glow. As I sit in my office and watch the raindrops fall I am not only thankful for the needed moisture but I know that for every drop a blade of grass will grow. I also know as soon as this storm abates that the sky will blaze blue and fill with white puffy clouds and the fields will turn to California Green. There is not a question of where I want to immerse myself in the sky, clouds, and green experience. The place is Mesa Grande. This litde visited section of San Diego, has re- Sullivan's T ravels BY K ATHY SULLIVAN mained as a reminder of what the whole county used to be, vast expanses of cattle ranches. Rolling hills, dotted with ancient Oaks, speckled with beef cattle and work horses, cut by meandering streams and intruded by chunks of granite, describe the Mesa Grande scenery. Peaceful, timeless, eternal a perfect place to experience not only California Green but nature's serenity. Mesa Grande has no claim to fame, there is absolutely nothing to do, no stores, no parks, nothing but a road cutting through cattle land, some barns that probably looked just as run down 100 years ago and dark green Oak trees framed against glowing green. To reach Mesa Grande take Highway 76 East, past Lake Henshaw, then watch for the Mesa Grande turn off. The Mesa Grande Road zigzags up through a Oak forest. Near the top of the hill pull off the road and enjoy R li g ge n hills e v l p a c u ty h u e in t e C lf r i c u ty i e oln r e n eo o nr o s h aiona o nr sd . the panoramic view ofLake Henshaw, Palomar Mountain and Warner Springs. From here to the end of the road just drive slow and enjoy all the shades of green that can happen to California in February. If you want to drive a loop, turn right at the end of Mesa Grande Road on to Highway 79. Takeafew minutes and visit Santa Ysabel Mission. Santa Ysabel and Pala Mission are two of the only California Missions still working with the Indians. At the intersection of 79 and 74 turn right towards Ramona.

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

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

Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said that even minor delays in thefirststage of construction could "set of a major chain reaction" resulting in a possible delay of the fall 1992 scheduled opening of the new campus. Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charged Louetto with failure to pay for work done on jobs in the county. College officials consulted Louetto's bondingfirm,Reliance Surety of Seattle, to settle the dispute. • Ground broken for new of the 305-acre site encountered • Louetto fired from campus: California state senator almost 184,000 cubic yards of construction project: Louetto William Craven, R-Carlsbad, gave granite and debris.

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

Although Lusardi Construction Co. met its first construction deadline in March 1991, the 5-yearold drought facing California presented new obstacles. On March 14,1991, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would have required that residents of San Diego County cut water usage by 50 percent Amado said the campus would seek water from a different water authority if necessary, or it would drill wells on the site to supply water for the construction project Another problem facing the campus was the lack of available funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 in November of 1990, money that would have gone into furnishing the Continued on next page �campus site, said he would like to accelerate the project to provide faster relief for SDSU.

"The key question for us will be, Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos. The "NJarch Miracle" left the ground too muddy, thereby hindering construction progress. "The ground under Craven Hall was so saturated, we had vehicles getting stuck in the mud," said Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning. "We lost some time there." Construction projects typically . experience weather delays, said Amado, but having lost valuable time in the contractor's dispute, much of the construction schedule's buffer time was lost Continued from previous page "How much is a name worth?"

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

The article specifically named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of closure. Max Benavidez, a spokesperson for the CSU, denied allegations that CSUSM could be shut down. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said he talked to the chancellor and received no indication that the campus would close. According to Stacy, the chancellor's concerns revolved around the construction schedule at CSUSM. In the event that Proposition 153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy" and delayed for as much as two years.

Malone doesn't see this walkingonly area as a problem for generating business. "People will build whatever you want if they see the potential foot traffic," he said. "Parking in interior," he said. "The buildings are set back to allow for a 50-foot wide walkway. What this plan also allows for is outside seating." "Walk on in," is how Malone described the concept. • Civic, Business Centers accent plans: Two main develop- ments accent the "Heart of the City" project: a University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center — housing the city's government — will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include City Hall, a conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel and a park. The City Hall complex design will gives special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the clock tower at Cal State San Marcos. The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master-planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality use. No drive-thru facilities will be allowed. • Monorail on track: Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed in October, 1992, to match San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the new campus of CSUSM. NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives of a light-rail commuter train travelingfromOceanside to Escondido. The dollar figure matches the donation from the city of San Marcos which is pushing for a monorail system. The transit district's current plans include a trolley system similar to the San Diego Trolly. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North County area. Malone said the current proposal only needs some additions to the rails to make the commute line operations — such as more crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolly. The monorail system, however, would require a whole new set of elevated tracks. The transit district has shied away from the additional costs of elevating a new track line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its investment. "The university it what makes it feasible this early in time," he said. When fully implements, Malone said 20 percent of theriderswould potentially consist of CSUSM students. "We've always thought ahead of how to control traffic congestion;" Malone said. Mass transit is the way the city decided to handle the traffic generated by the university's presence.

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

The program is a educational degree. In many cases, the students KIMBERLY COURTNEY/PIONEER in the program will be the first in their family to get a degree, Phillips said. The College Board funded proposal money for the program which is being used to pay the mentors' salary. According to Phillips, "Our hope is many of the students will transfer here (CSUSM), but if the students transfer anywhere, our goal is met" Last summer, CSUSM and Palomar College met over a period of six weeks to propose solutions to the low Hispanic population. The mentorship program, arose from the meetings' discourse. Of the 23 applicants for mentorship positions, only 12 were accepted. Honors plan open for discussion K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Students, faculty and administrators have the opportunity to debate and help mold the final plan for the university's Honors Program. The basic plan, designed by an honors committee — made up of a cross sections of faculty, students and administrators—has been planned for the academically motivated student, who wantsamorerigorouseducational programs and is also interested in leadership and community service. As written, the University Honors Program will be kept separatefromthe Latin Honors Program, which is grade-point-average dependent The program has been designed to cover two separate segments of the student population: the first segment of students are those that want to enter a total Honors Program which involves Honors Courses and leadership responsibilities, and the other group of students are those that only want to take one or two selected Honors Courses. Some of the proposed regulations covering admission to Honors Classes and Honors Program are: • Students may self-select to participate in Honors Courses at any time in their stay at CSUSM. • Students may declare themselves members of the University Honors Program upon completion of two Honors Courses with a grade of B or better. • Certain courses will be declared as Honor Courses and a designation will appear in the class schedule. • Honors Classes are taught using regular curriculum. Students that contract with the teacher for Honors designation will be required to do extra work outside of the classroom. • Students who experience undo stress from the extra work can withdraw from the Honors Program without jeopardizing their grade in the Psychology honor society forming Organization is under way to create a national honor society in psychology at Cal State San Marcos. Charter members are being sought for Phi Chi. If formed the organization would be the first honor society on campus. According to organizer Pafira Catledge, the national organization was formedin 1929 "with the purpose of encouraging, stimulating and maintaining excellence in scholarship and advancement of the science of psychology" An established Phi Chi chapter draws membersfrominvitation only and members are voted into the society by two-thirds of the chapter. For CSUSM, however, charter members only need to meet certain requirements. "Right now, students can get in with the regular class. • To graduate with University Honors a student must accumulate 12 units in Honors Courses and have attained recognition as a leader and a community volunteer. A complete transcript of the HonorsProposal can be found in the Associated Students Office, Student Lounge bulletin board, the Senate Office and in the Library. For anyone interested in shaping the future of CSUSM's Honors Program, more forums will be held this week. Students are encouraged to attend all of the following forums. Input from their ideas will be used to frame the final proposal: • Tuesday, March 17: a forum for students will be in Room 112, Building 800 from 1 to 2 p.m. right grade point average," Catledge said. "After that it will be by a vote by the chapter." Requirements include: • upper 35 percent of class - 3.16 grade point average for juniors and 3.17 GPA for seniors, and p-^^^X • overall B average in psychologic courses. The group is open to men and women in all classes. Two organizational meetings are schedule for March 24 in Room 9, Building 145 and March 26 in Room 97, Building 800. Each meeting isfromnoon to 12:30 p.m. Applications and more information will be distributed at that time. Deadline for application is March 30.

Discussed at thefirstforum was the ability of the University to support classes designed for honors students rather than having the honors work as an addition to a regular class. Talk centered around the necessity of leadership and community service and whether these requirements have an underlying gender and racial bias. �TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1 992 /PIONEER N ews B riefs Commencement gala planned The commencement sub-committee to the Associated Students is organizing a University Gala for May 9.

NEWS 3 Forthcoming class ring reflects global goals LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Students graduating from Cal State San Marcos will have something to take with them apart from a diploma. Since last semester, a committee comprised of students, faculty and administration has chosen a design for a CSUSM class ring. Jostens, the ring manufacturer selected by the committee to produce the final product, is expected to complete a final design for the ring this week. Currently , Jostens is testing the final design selected by the committee to see whether it works on the ring's small scale. "The (design selection process) went through several iterations," said Marti Gray, director of Auxiliary Services and chair of the committee. "Its been a process of creativity and compromise." Gray said that some of the committee's original designs had to be discarded because they couldn't be seen on the small scale of a class ring. Other „elements preferred by the committee were too expensive or too complex to fit in with student budgets. The resulting design was the culmination of seven or eight meetings, said Gray, and conveys a sense of uniqueness while maintaining traditional elements. The committee chose an intermediate-sized ring to emphasize detail without being too bulky. Topping the ring will be a blue stone with the etched figure of a mountain lion underneath. The engraved lion's head, carved out of silver, will be seen through the stone. It will be rectangular in shape with each of the corners cropped off. Surrounding the stone will be the inscription "California State University San Marcos." The side panels of the ring were designed to r eflect C SUSM's uniqueness while concurrently expressing the university's mission statement of global awareness. Craven Hall will dominate one side of the panel, while the image of a lion's paw will rest underneath. Two hands, each holding globes will be placed at the top of the panel. An engraved bridge separates the two. Gray compiled a list of reactions from panel members about the design of the ring. "Craven Hall pays tribute to the man behind the dream of a university innorthSanDiegoCounty,"thememo cited. "This panel symbolizes the physical presence of learning which embraces exploration and integrated understanding." The ring's other side panel will add personalized touches to the final product. Students enrolled at CSUSM in its first year will have, the opportunity to have a customized panel on the ring. The panel will state in bold letters "Founding Class 1990-1991" above the image of a globe, a book and scales symbolizing equality. Rays will be etched emanating from the globe. Below the figures will be the lion's paw and an inscription indicating which degree was earned. Founding faculty and administration will have the opportunity to purchase the same design but with the SEE RING/PAGE 5 Child care program with local club continues despite small turnout JONATHAN YOUWG/PIONEER With about a third of the needed children, the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos will continue to offer a child care service the campus community of Cal State San Marcos. Theprogram, started this semester, provides child care service several nights a week in addition to the clubs daily hours. Located at the Woodland Park branch, grade-school children can attend the club from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Children can also use the club during regular hours, Monday through Friday. To stay open on the four nights, 15 children were need to support the program. Only five are utilizing the service. But campus and club officials are not being discouraged and say that the program will grow in the next semester. Tanis Brown, an organizer of the program, said the news of the new program got to the students too late; needed child care services had already been arranged by students. Brown, along with the Women's Information Network, is preparing to send out flyers to women returning next semester to inform them of the program and to get some feed back on the program. Sue Aldana, of the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, and Brown have received comments that the program is not open late enough for student attending night classes at CSUSM. Those classes last until 10 p.m.; the program is only open until 8 p.m. "As a university, we did not want toadvocate kids being outat 10p.m.," Brown said. Aldanasaidtheclub could re-evaluate the time schedule based on student feed back. Even though the specifications of the program may change, Brown said the child care program will continue at operate. ' That's a really positive element on campus," Brown said. "A lot of other universities are offering the opportunity of having a child care program. "As a new university with a large number of re-entry women, we wan to keep up with those opportunities for women to come back to school and have their kids on site or close by." To use the Boys and Girls Club's service, the children must become members of the club. To use any service the club offers, children have to be members and this $15 yearly fee releases the university of liability . The evening service costs S5 a night; children may use the club during the day at no additional cost.

Rings for students not enrolled in the first year of classes will have the year of their graduation inscribed. Originally, the committee sought a separate design for the commemorative ring, but due to the low student population in the first year, such a design would be expensive. Although the ring's final cost has n ot y et been d etermined, Eric Pukowski, Jostens' s representative to CSUSM, said the price will be competitive with noncustomized rings found at other universities. Pukowski estimated that prices for men's rings will range from about WATCH FOR PART THREE IN NEXT ISSUE $370, for 10 karat gold, to approximately $700, for 18 karat gold. Women's rings should range from about$340,for lOkaratgold, to around $600. Generally, class rings are purchased by the December previous to graduation. Because theringis still in the design process, students graduating this spring will be able to acquire the product just before commencement "It will be close," said Gray. Many universities hold separate ring ceremonies at commencement time, where the product is presented to the student by the campus's president. Gray said, because the university is holding its first graduation ceremony, aring ceremony might take away from the emphasis on commencement The Class Ring Committee is comprised of students BarbaraPender, Tom Weir, Steffanie Taylor and Jose Chapman. Vice President of Student Affairs, Ernest Zomalt and Director ofBusiness Services, PatFarris joined Gray on the committee for an administrative voice, while Stephen Welch, professor of Chemistry, represented the faculty.

Recently, I have written about other current health concerns, however, the subject of this column, Human Papillamavira Virus (HPV) infection, has become a very common and an important health problem in thecollege-agepopulation. This will be the first of a two-part column, because HPV infection is complex and misinformation is common. HPV is the virus that causes warts. There are more than 60 types of the virus, with approximately a dozen types that can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in the genital tract. Since genital HPV is not a reportable disease, we do not have exact numbers on how much of the population is infected. It is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD. Genital HPVs has been discovered to be more contagious than previously thought It is usually spread through sexual contact with an infected person,although intercourse is not necessary to spread the infection. In HEALTHNOTES BY D R . J O E L GRINOLDS studies, two thirds of those with genital warts infected their partners. It is very likely that genital HPV infection also can be transmitted when warts are not present When viral infection is transmitted from person to person, the virus infects the top layers of the skin and can remain inactive or dormant for a long time. We are frequently asked for how long. No one knows for sure but at least months and maybe years can go by before signs of infection or warts appear. For most people warts will appear within three to six months. Some types of HPV will more often result in visible warts than others. Types 6 ad 11 will almost always result in visible warts. Other types that may infect the cervix of women may not produce warts that are clearly seen. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable, cost effective, and helpful in treatment that identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test We also know that when warts or other signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a period of months or years, however, the HPV may still remain and recurrences of warts are fairly common. When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts, oneis considered to havea"subclinical infection." It is becoming clear that subclinical infection is much more widespread than anyone would have thought 10 years ago. Also, as research techniques become more sensitive in detection ¿)f HPV,we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection. Of interest is that many researchers believe that medical science is now identifying, for thefirsttime, an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in the the population for decades. What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon. ECONO L 5 'itBI* T U N Appointment Necessary!

It seems that either the majority of theCal State San Marcos students are ignorant and cannot comprehend these two words, or that students here are just not interested in their school. President Bill Stacy sent a letter to the prospective first class asking for pioneering students, ones that would set standards and traditions. The first few classes have to be innovative and active in setting the ground work for future generations of students. I t's a shame that not very many students have lived up to the president's challenge. Sure, there are some that have gone beyond his OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL challenge. The list of those already involved is more than the sum of a person's fingers and toes, but not by much. These select few, moreover, usually volunteer their time with more than one organization.

A THOUGHT: "To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. " W ALT D ISNEY, 1 9 5 5 I am writing in response to the article on recycling written in the last issue of the Pioneer ("Recycling program needs participation"). The article was concerned not with the general importance of the recycling issue but with the importance of recycling on this campus. The article stated that CSUSM was without a recycling program. I am writing to inform the Pioneer and the students that the school does haveaprogram.TheAssociatedStudentCouncil has had a Recycling Committee since last semester, and the recycling program has existed since last November. The Committee consists of five students. Since established, the program has recycled over 60 pounds of aluminum, 100 pounds of glass, 339 pounds of white paper,472pounds of computer paper and over 2000 pounds of newsprint (including thePioneer), and in addition hundreds of pounds of mixed paper and some plastics. The campus staff and faculty have been an important part of getting recycling going, and the Recycling Committee has been important in keeping it going. The program has been mostly concerned with recycling paper goods and maintaining previously established recycling stations around campus. Currently, the Committee is working with the University on expanding and upgrading the system. The future of recycling is expansion, and preparation for the new campus. As individuals we can all help by using the appropriate bins on campus. As the Recycling Committee, we will do our best to expand the program to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff. The Committee is in need of help to accommodate the expanding program; interested individuals should contact the A.S. Office. Also, anyone wishing to donate recyclables to the Associated Students can do so by simply dropping off their donations at Liberty Recycle in San Marcos. Currently the Library has a container for aluminum cans. The computer labs have paper bins. The A.S.Officehasbinsforall recyclables. Building 125 has a central recycling area for everything, and bins for paper in the copying area. Financial Aid has an aluminum cans bin, there are bins for paper, cans and bottles in the copy room Building 135. Building 820 has a place for cans and newspaper. R ICHARD MOLLOY/ A.S. COUNCIL MEMBER Give credit where it's due Thank you for your recent article in the last issue of the Pioneer ("Yearbook seeking sponsors for club pages"). It was very informative about what the yearbook staff is currently doing YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM regarding the funding of our second annual yearbook. However, you neglected to mention the person who is in charge of the funding for the second annual Tukut yearbook, Edgardo Perez. I was not upset at that minor deletionfromyour article but since clubs must report directly to me regarding their choices for sponsorship then I feel it should have been a crucial part of the article. You may have also had an easier time getting all of the information for your article had you contacted me directly rather than having to call three separate people for the information. Again thank you for the article in thePioneer, and if anyone has any further questions regarding the funding for the yearbook they may contact me at the Tukut office or the Tukut mailboxes in the Student Lounge or the mailroom in Building 125. sity at the graduating ceremony on May 23, as our gift to all continuing and future students of CSUSM. With approximately 100 students graduating in thisfirstclass, our goal would be to create at least $500 which would provide initial seed money for the Student Union Fund. This gift may be small in view of the overall cost of the project, but it will represent much more than a financial token. In a time when education is shadowedby serious economic cutbacks coupled by a large increase in tuition, we are pledging our support to all future students of CSUSM. A campus Student Union Building is as important to the student community as the classrooms. Five dollars does not buy much these days: five cups of coffee at the student store, lunch at the Full Belly Deli, half a T-shirt. How many times do we blow that amount on "nothing?" How much do we spend on an average birthday present? In contrast, a$5 donation to the CSUSM Student Union Fund is a gift that will continue to give long after our class has graduated. Unlike a scholarship fund which benefits only a select group of students, a Student Union Building is for the benefit of all students. Let's not lose the chance to do something really fine as the first graduating class. If you support my suggestion, and want to help make this idea a reality, please contact me through the A.S. Office, Building 135. T ANIS BROWN/ A.S.

These people also have had previous experience with occult phenomena before their UFO encounters. Ross' conclusions are that UFOs are demon activity and the purpose is to deceive people. Satan may try to explain as kidnapping by UFOs the coming disappearance of million of Christians when Jesus Christ returns and beams up his church. Extraterrestrial Etiquette In 1990, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project directors put together "Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence." The NASA organization put together this set of nine guidelines for those who encounter alien life forms. Here is a brief highlight: *• Don* t call the press until you have informed other researchers and you're sure the signal is from extraterrestrial beings and is not manmade. • Call the secretary general of the United States. • Once you're certain, don't keep the news a secret. • Don't talk back until serious international discussion are held on what we (the government) want to say. None of the nine rules mentions acceptable etiquette when meeting an alien face to face. Telling the future with aliens' help The Persia^ Gulf War. T he failed Russia coup.

San Marcos, CA 92069 1018 2nd Si. Encinitas. CA 92024 744-1313 942-5220 One night, Herman decided to check out his new Mends. With binoculars in hand, he perched himself on a nearby railroad track to watch the zipping light show. As the object made a sudden drop, as if it had fallen, Herman fumbled to catch a glimpse through his binoculars. "He was trying to focus his binoculars to see what had happened to it, when it swooped in and filled the sky in front of himcompletelyfilledthe sky in seconds," Stevens said. Caught by surprise, Herman started to fall back off the tracks. As he tried to catch himself, the ship started to draw away from him. "It was going away and he was in the air, he was in a beam of blue light going up into the craft "He was kicking and yelling and trying to get out of it and it sucked him up anyway," Stevens said. "He saw the reeds along the side of the tracks blowing away from him at the time this was happening. He lost consciousness until he woke up on an examination table aboard the alien ship." The object seems to be getting closer to my position. If scorning closer... it's coming closer! Fm just going to stand here and watch it. Oh my... Stevens calls Herman's friends the Reticulum and classifies them in the greys family, a classification consisting of grey-colored aliens. Research in both the United States and Canada have shown that a third of all extraterrestrial encounters are from this type of alien. The Reticulum are short, ranging from 4-feet to 4-feet 3-inches. They have large heads and large, dark eyes. Other encounter reports tell of similar grey creatures. "The tragedy is that we are painting them all with the same brush," Stevens said. "Some of the greys are benevolent, some are malevolent and there are shades of grey in between. It so happens that the Reticulums are among the most benevolent of the extraterrestrial entities visiting this planet." Herman has been exact with his description and said the creatures wear a silk-like blue uniform with a flying serpent on the left breast. They are kind, gentle creatures and meticulous with their work. Herman even knows which solar system the Reticulum call home. "There is only one case in the history of this whole extraterrestrial phenomena, that I know of, where the E X entity specifically said they came from what we call Reticulum, and that is the Charleston case of Bill Herman in South Carolina," Stevens said. The creatures told Herman where they werefromat least four times, in several different ways and in great detail giving their planet's mass, orbital characteristics and inclination of the axis. Compared to other astronomical information and research, Stevens said their directions were "absolutely correct." Reticulum is a twin-star system seen to the low south in the sky. Because of it's location, it is not visible at all times of the year in this part of the Earth. Stevens said the two stars are "not a binary pair because they do just stopped. Here it comes. There's a slight hum to it ...Oh my ...It's getting closer... The ship's shape alsofitsinto most alien sighting dimensions; it's a silver, oval object There are three, large, color lights schematically located on the bottom portion, with room for a fourth. Stevens can only speculate why the fourth light is not there. One aspect of the ship that interested Herman the most was how it traveled. He would sit and chart the zipping motions of the craft and determined that its navigation was based on a triangular pattern. "The second time he was aboard the spacecraft, he asked them why they traveled in such a strange flight path," Stevens said. "They said it . "He saw the reeds • was pattern designed to avoid radar lock-on. along the side of the "They had discovered, after tracks blowing away losing four of their vehicles, that the cause was a high-energy radar beam from him at the time with a homing characteristic.

Take for instance the production of "Steel Magnolias," as performed by the Lamb Theatre in San Diego. Here is a performance that far outshines the fine movie of the same name. "Steel Magnolias" is almost exclusively a women's production. All of the scenes aie set in a 1950s-style beauty shop, which is mostly "women's territory." Four women, all of different ages make up the cast. Even though men are spoken of, they never appear on stage. Women's passions and emotions resonate through the beauty shop. Moreover, the characters bond together. Each woman needs the others for different reasons, but all utilize each other because their ability to grow and change only becomes reality when the other women support them. The production is even directed by a woman. Every actor truly conveys that they are the well-scripted characters they perform. The two most impressive of the lot are Annelle, played by Cynthia Peters, and Ouiser, played by Darlene Trent Annelle, when she first appears on the stage, seemsfrightened,nervous, unsure of herself. Every time someone asks her a question, her face becomes as a contorted prune, displaying every emotion Annelle feels. Throughout the play, however, Annelle grows more confident, more sure of herself. In thefirstscene, Annelle Haphazardly styles T ruvy's (Veronica Aliens make box office blockbusters SHEILA COSGROVE/PIONEER Mhari Sandoval (L)f Veronica Murphy, Gail West and Cynthia Peters star in the Lamb's Players production of "Steel Magnolias.' Murphy Smith) hair, hesitant of every move she makes. In the final scene, Annelle, married and pregnant, Confidently arranges Clairee's (Patricia DiMeo) hair. Being a part of the women of the beauty shop gives Annelle the confidence to grow and be herself. Ouisar, cynical, sarcastic, extremely loud, arrives in thefirstscene yelling and screaming about her neighbor and his abuse of her dog. She invites laughter with her attitude and brings a lightness to a sometimes heavy mood. However, Ouisar also changes drastically during the course of the play. As the production progresses, her behavior and attitude softens, becoming more gentle. By the final scene, Ouisar, instead of storming into the room, sits in a chair waiting for her hair dresser. She wears stylish clothing instead of blue jeans. Ouisar no longer needs to be boisterous and obnoxious to be accepted in the group; she can confidently be a quieter, more calm woman without the fear of rejection. Even though Annelle and Ouisar change the most, every character within theplay changes; none remains stagnant. Clairee begins to live her own life after her husband dies, M'Lynn (Gail West) gives a part of herself to her daughter Shelby (Mhari Frothingham Sandoval), and Shelby learns what it takes to give of herself for her child. In thefinalscene, everyone in the audience, including the men, responds to the characters' feelings. The audience easily identifies with their emotions, crying and laughing along with them. The personal interaction between the actors and the audience makes "Steel Magnolias" a play worth seeing. "Steel Magnolias" is playing at the Lamb's Theatre until March 28. Tickets range from $15 to $19. Lamb's Theatre is located at 500 Plaza Blvd. in National City.

U Being the pragmatist that I am, I don't really buy into the notion that aliensfromother planets actually exist I tend to keep my attention on earthly things and not on drooling, goopey little green persons... except when I browse through the shelves of the video store. There I suspend my other-worldly disbeliefjust long enough to discover j what life on other planets would be 1 like. Hollywood is pretty much bipolar in its treatment of aliens from outer space. On the one side are filmmakers who believe that aliens should be snarling, spewing creatures with more make-up than Tammy Faye Baker and a disposition slightly worse than Don Rickles. These galactic heavies all seem to have an insatiable taste for foreign food (namely human flesh), and are generally hard to kill. Traditional cinema oftentimes correlated extra-terrestrials with names like "it," "thing" or"that "oozy ball of slime that reeks havoc upon mankind." In virtually all cases, bad aliens pose a threat to the whole of earthly civilization. It's either us or j them. On the other hand, good aliens seem to be humanity's only hope. Their cosmic experiences correlate with the notion of wisdom and beauty. Traditionally they have been overlooked by Hollywood, which opted for snarling menaces over blubbering do-gooders. Not until the Reagan administration did the film industry feel inclined to create creatures that could actually save usfromsocial and moral despair. Good aliens are harder to recognize . than bad ones. Many times they take on human form, looking better than most GQ Magazine models. These beings are generally fragile and can die from little more than a hard look. Here is an alphabetical glossary of celluloid aliens, listed by the movies in which they appear: "ALIEN, ALIENS": Big bug-like SEE MOVIES/PAGE 14 �TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1 992 /PIONEER M usic C alendar Dave Mason Band: Performs with special guest Maggie Mayall at the Belly Up, Solana Beach, March 18 at 8:30 p.m. 481-9022 Diane Schuur: Theatre East presents Diane Schuur, accompanied by the Bill Yager Jazz Ensemble, April 10 at 8 p.m. at 210 East Main Street, El Cajon. 440-2277 Hank Easton Band: Featuring Reggie Smith, Archie Thompson and Team Mojo at Sound FX, San Diego, on March 18.5608022/278-TIXS Ice-T: Body Count joins Ice-T with special guest Eye and I March 28 at 9 p.m. at Iguanas, Tijuana. 278-TIXS * Jimmie Dale Gilmore: Performs with special guest Marty Brown at the Belly Up, Solana Beach, March 19 at 8:30 p.m. 4819022 Leon Redbone: Performs with special guest Russ T.

Tilt ' n Kilt, located at 1660 Capalina in San Marcos is just the place to kiss the blarney stone, sip some heady ales or fling a few darts for your Saint Patty's Day celebration. No pub would be complete without a bountiful offering of munchies and fine beers, and Tilt 'n Kilt delivers both. I tried the Celtic Nachos at $2.25. Unlike the western American fare, this taste treat uses British chips as a base instead of tortilla chips. In the British Islands, chips are the actual equivalent of our French fries. Tilt 'n Kilt serves these hot, yet slightly greasy, morsels with a wonderfully tangy cheese sauce and chopped scallions. The appetizer is a delicious blend of European charm and American Southwestern z fnf: Another British favorite is the banger. This strange-sounding BY L A R R Y BOISJOLIE anomaly is a large, slightly spicy sausage that simply must be tried. I ordered a Beer Battered Banger, a sausage dipped in a light Guinness Beer Batter and served with steak fries or Potatoes O'Brien and cole slaw. The batter formed a crusty shell around the sausage, similar to that found on fish and chips. At $4.25, the combination topped my list of taste sensations. The beer selection represents the best of the British Isles. For those looking for a suitable brew for Saint Patrick's Day, Tilt 'n Kilt offers Guinness Stouton tap. WhenGuinness is bottled, it loses some of its full, rich flavor. When served on tap, the dark ale's full malty taste shines through. I had a Black and Tan, a portion of Watneys ale topped with a layer of Guinness Stout.

These foul creatures are smart, take on several hideous forms at differing stages of their development and have a particular dislike for Sigourney Weaver. "THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET": This silent, benign creation from director John Sayles heals broken video machines with a touch ofhis hands. As a stranded alien who has the body of a black man, the brother tries to conform to social rules and ideologies. What he does, is create a powerful social statement on racial alienation. The brother is a comedic good guy trapped in an ultra-serious environment. "COCOON": Anotherexampleof the sickeningly sweetprotagonist from outer space. These lovely creatures, which masquerade as humans, have the cure for the bane of all mankind, old-age. They offer eternal youth and are treated with infernal disregard by himans. Even so, they are the kinds of sweet, likable aliens that Hollywood shunned for so many, years, but audiences go ga-gaover. Don't waste your time with the sequel though. "Cocoon D: The Return" simply tries to milk audience response from the first film with dismal results. "CRITTERS": Once again we have little monsters with no redeeming social value, but great hunger. The protagonists in this film look like Brillo pads with teeth. They roam the countryside in search of food (anything from automobiles to human flesh), and multiply faster than hamsters in an orgy. The movie satirizes Hollywood alien flicks with every opportunity with comedic results. "E.T.—THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL": Unless you've been hiding on Mars for the last decade, E.T. has become a familiar sight in American culture. This cuddly creature finds itself stranded on Earth with no way home. It is a fragile, magical being which brings out the child in all who watch it—and watch it they did. E.T. remains in orbit as the most popular film (money wise) of all time'. "MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIEN": I wish Kim Basinger, who plays the title role, didn't live on this planet. She is too perfect for womankind. She is also perfect for the role of the benign alien that learned all about earthly culture from satellite transmissions of television sitcoms. "PREDATOR": Arnold Schwarzenegger finally meets his match (well almost) with a groady-looking hunter from outer space that kills humans for pleasure. Seen also in the flawed but fun "Predator2," this alien can blend like a chameleon with its surroundings and carries aformidable extra-terrestrial arsenal. "STARMAN": Jeff Bridges was cheated out of an Academy Award for his performance as yet another alien trapped on planet Earth. This particular visitor from another planet is actually a glowing sphere which clones the body of a human to survive the harsh world in which it is stranded. Starman is a movie about love and magic, with an alien that tries to blend with an unkind world. -THE THING": This John Carpenter 1982 Sci-Fi thriller is based more on the circa 1930 novella "Who Goes There?" by John W, Campbell than the 1952 Howard Hawkes film. In the movie a group of scientist in Antarctica find a spaceship imbedded in the ice. The inhabitant of the ship is a vicious changeling that takes on the form of any animal it wants. The question throughout the movie is, who's the alien and who i sn't "The Thing" probably gives more scares per square inch than any alien movie on the list CASStOY'S CALENDAR/CONTINUED Crimes and Reasons: This audience-participation dinner show is presented by Killer Dinner Theatre Productions and runs through April 11 atthe Joyce Beers Community Center, San Diego.

A couple of weeks ago, several of us overworked students along with our families went on a picnic to Rancho Cuyamaca State Park. All of us complained that we really did not have the time necessary to take a Sunday Afternoon away from our studies, but we did it anyway. It was glorious. The crisp air and pine smells awakened a feeling of reality into our abused brains. We had a potluck picnic and we all over-ate. So we took a long nature walk to make sure we would have enough room to stop for a piece of Julian apple pie a la mode on the way home. Rancho Cuyamaca State Park, located about 14 miles south of Julian has campgrounds, picnic sites, museum, lake, even equestrian camping facilities. The park is riddled with Sullivan's T ravels BY KATHY SULLIVAN nature trails, from easy to extreme. In case you have had your head in the school books for too long and haven't noticed—wildflowers cover our foothills. The drive to the Julian Mountains this weekend would not only be an immersion in color from the flowers and meadows but would include a good chance of snow at the higher elevations. A trip to the mountains this weekend presents a pleasurable way to preserve sanity during mid-terms next week. But, if your personality will not allow you to relax enough to enjoy some stolen moments before finals, a picnic in the mountains also acts as a recovery mechanism for an over-taxed mental system.

At the conference, held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, students from universities across the nation will share their research projects in 18-minute oratory presentations. Traditionally, the conference was restricted to research projects of technical nature, however, this year papers from the field of humanities will also be presented. Students CynthiaChovich and Anne Radspinner were chosen by Professor Madeleine Marshall to represent CSUSM because of research papers done for her Women's Studies course last semester. "Several other students did extraordinary work as well," cited Marshall. She said that Chovich's and Radspinner's papers were selected because of their adaptability for presentation. For the conference, each paper must be transformed into an 18-minute oral presentation. After each address, the students will be questioned about the subject of the presentation. Radspinner, who wrote her paper about a quarrel between Mary Wolstencraft and Jean Jaques Rousseau, said she is nervous about presenting a literary topic to academics who have strong literary foundations. "I don't feel that I have enough literature background to get up and talk about it," she said. Chovich expressed that she too was nervous about the conference, but said she felt honored and excited about being chosen to attend it. Her paper deals with Delariviera Manley, an 18thcentury woman author who was known for her bold points of view. "(When I chose the assignment) I told Madeleine I wanted to profile a woman who was outrageous and outspoken," said Chovich. In the 1700s, Manley was jailed for her book, "The New Atlantis." She was later released after men of the time summized that a woman was incapable of writing such controversial works. Marshall said that both papers represented a pioneering spirit that students have adopted in their approaches to research papers at CSUSM. She said that students helped each other in the process of gathering information for the assignment According to Marshall, the college has given overwhelming support for the conference. She said that founding faculty member Joan Gundersen (History) and Executive Vice President Richard Rush were integral in the process of entering and attending the conference. Construction starts amid drought L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though construction has begun on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building, campus officials are concerned that the current drought and budgetary problems may drown all hopes of opening the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. campus by the scheduled fall 1992 date. According to Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, all of the time buffer allotted to the project was eaten up in a 12-week construction halt, which stemmed from a dispute between former contractor Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss. "If we experience any more delays," said Amado, "the college will be forced to find additional renting space for fall 1992." Amado said that since the replacement of Louetto by the San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Co., construction has moved along at a brisk pace. According to Amado, Lusardi met its first deadline with the completion of pads for the Phase I Academic Buildings and Craven Hall. Work on the six-story centerpiece began March 4, with construction on the academic complex buildings starting on March 5. Central plant construction is scheduled to commence this summer. Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing campus construction is the 5-year-old drought which is currently plaguing California. Last Thursday, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would require that residents of S an Diego County cut water usage 50 percent during the summer. "I have not yet been advised of water shortages hurting construction," Amado said. He pointed out that the decision ofwhether or not to cut water supplies to construction projects will come directly from the County Water Authority. Mark Watton, of the CWA, speculated last Friday that, even with the series of storms heading toward San Diego, the amount of water added to the state's reserves would be minimal. He said that cutbacks would be reduced by only a few percentage points even SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 4 �N ews Briefs FEE INCREASE APPROVED In a unanimous vote by the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday , a proposed fee increase of 20 percent by California Governor Pete Wilson was approved. If Wilson's budget is implemented, the fee increase will take affect in fall, 1991. The budget increase would raise part-time tuition by $90 per-year and full-time tuition by $154. A ten-point plan addressing the 1991-92 CSU budget was also presented to the governor by the trustees. Due to the failure of Prop. 143 in November, the CSU system faces a shortfall in revenues totalling $90 million. GOVERNMENT SURVEY TABULATED Tabulations of a survey of how a government representing the student body should look, are now in. Of the 126 surveys received, all but 10 supported efforts to form a student governmental organization. The predominant model chosen by those who completed the questionnaire was a representative-type of government. This form of government received 68 responses of favorable manner, while the Presidential model got 26 and the Corporate/Municipal model registered 21 votes. Eight of those surveyed had no opinion. The. results indicated that the Associated Students' constitution should have an initiative process and recall provisions. Direct election was the favored form of selection of governmental representatives, with 87 positive responses. Most students said they would prefer that the head of the student government be a president rather than a chairperson of the Board or council chair. NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED The CSUSM Office of Financial Aid has information and applications for the two new scholarships. Both scholarships are available for undergraduate students at CSUSM. The American Association of University Women is a $250award for female juniors or seniors who are San Diego County residents and have at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Deadline for applications is May 1,1991. The Great Western/Rancho Pefiasquitos S cholarship is for an undergraduate Business major with a 3.0 or higher GPA. The award is for $500 and the application deadline is June 3,1991. In addition to the new scholarships, the Office of Financial Aid would like to inform students that several good on-campus jobs are now available for CSUSM students that have been awarded college workstudy. NEWSPAPER STAFF TO ATTEND STATEWIDE CONFERENCE Members of the staff of Pioneer, are scheduled to attend a statewide journalism conference in Sacramento March 21,22 and 23. The conference, held by the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA), will be attended by representatives from 23 university newspapers across California. At the yearly event, delegates will attend seminars and compete in on-site competitions. Previous issues of Pioneer have been sent for judging, with results to be announced during the conference. "If we receive only one award," said Larry Boisjolie, Pioneer's Editor-in Chief, "it will be a remarkable achievement." According to Boisjolie, the conference allows CSUSM students to participate in an intercollegiate event for the first time. Along with Boisjolie, Graphics Director Jonathan Young, staff writers Debbie Duffy and Elaine Whaley, and photographer Kathy Sullivan will partic pate in the conference. University, local businesses will be 'partners' in education J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER With an announcement of the implementation of a Business Partners Program at Cal State San Marcos last Tuesday, Business Administration Department officials introduced a mentor program exclusive to CSUSM. "We believe that this program is the first in America to take the integration of the University and the Business Community to such lengths," said Bernard Hinton, Dean of Business Administration. "Others have developed a number ofexcellentprograms . ...The critical difference in our program is the concept of a true partnership, a full and total involvement of members of the business community in the education of today's students and tomorrow's business managers." As a four level plan, the Business Partners Program would unify the academic and business communities. The Business Associates, Business Partners, and Senior Business Partners programs will establish a business mentorship program, with each program reflecting increasing levels of company participation. A B usiness Affiliates program will also be implementèd forfirmswhich lack the resources to participate in the higher levels of personal involvement or commitment required for the other programs. "The (overall) program calls for each College of Business Administration student to be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community," said Hinton. "The same student/mentor relationship will be maintained . .. for the duration of the Business club forming In order to facilitate the process of locating mentors to participate in the recently announced Business Partners Program, the CSUSM Business Students Association will hold its first meeting today at 6 p.m. Another meeting will be held March 20 at noon. The primary task of the BS A is to compile a pool of businesses that would be interested in participating in the Business Partners Program, a new program announced by the College of Business Administration last Tuesday. The group is being organized, under the guidance of Business Dean Bernard Hinton, to give students the opportunity to aid in the selection of candidates for the program. The Business Partners Program will be implemented in fall 1991 and requires a personal tutor for each College of Business student. CSUSM officials estimate 400-500 students will enroll in the business program that semester. Times and club leaders will be chosen at the first two meetings. student's stay at CSU, San Marcos." Hinton said the program would be beneficial for both students and businesses. "As the mentoring relationship develops, the student is expected to become involved in resolving realworld programs . ..," Hinton said. "We are confident that the Business Partners Program will allow us to forge a strong link between classroom experience and business experience. It is designed to address the needs of the business community of San Diego and North County, to provide graduates who have a practical business orientation, and to help students successfully launch their careers in the business world." The Business Mentors Program will be the first in the nation to mandate mentoring within the curriculum, rather than having it serve in an adjunctive role in the student's education. "While mentoring has been widely accepted as an especially effective way of assisting individuals in their learning process, the idea of formal business mentoring of all students is one that I believe to be unique to CS U, San Marcos," Hinton said. Hinton said this program will be in place by fall of 1991. With the expected enrollment at that time, the College of Business needs 400-500 mentors to be involved with the program. . "We are dependent upon (the media) to help us get the word out to our potential partners that we are ready, willing, and able to do our part, but they must first identify themselves," Hinton said.

In a resolution passed March 1, the CSU Academic Senateclaimed the ROTC program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orien tation is a violation of basic humanrightsand inimical to the valuesof the university, and is in violation of a non-discrimination policy for the CSU system. Therese Baker, Sociology Founding Faculty, serves as the CSU San Marcos representative to the Academic Senate. "I think the main discussion in the resolution is that the CSU does not support groups and Medication now more accessible If you have read the papers lately, or even watched some television, you may have noticed the current advertising blitz for Gyne-Lotriman. This medication for vaginal yeast infections can now be purchased over the counter since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Monistat, another medication for vaginal yeast infections, will also be available very shortly. These are more effective than the currentover-the-countermedications and previously were only available by prescription from a physician. Both medications are considered to be very safe if one doesn't have an allergy or sensitivity to them. Both have been used for a long time and have few side effects. How these drugs will be used, however, has raised concerns in the medical community. According to the drug companies, they are supposed to be used by women who previously have been diagnosed and have recurrent vaginal yeast infections. The symptoms of the problem are fairly straightforward: a white cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching. There should not be abdominal pains, fever, urinary symptoms ar skin lesions present Women who have recently been on antibiotics, who are on oral contraceptives or who are pregnant are most likely to develop yeast infections. Unfortunately, some women associate itching with a yeast infection and are likely to use the medication which could mask symptoms of more serious infections. PARTNER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 forward and let us know of their interest in joining with us." As of Friday, not even a week after the announcement, Hinton said he has already received a response. HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS In college-age women, Human Papilloris Virus (HPV), a sexuallytransmitted genital warts skin condition of the vulva, and genital herpes v iruj infection can have similar initial symptoms to a yeast infection. Because of this, weatHealth Services advise that women who have multiple sex partners and are at highrisk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases see a health-care provider for any vaginal symptoms, even if they have had a yeast infection before. Likewise, women who use the medications but don't see improvement quickly or who have had to use the medication as frequently as four times peryear,shouldconsultahealthcare provider. Perhaps the more compelling reason for students to visit Health Services is that Gyne-Lotriman will cost approximately $18 over the counter, while our prescription yeast medication will cost you $6-7 per-prescription and you can be assured of the diagnosis. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the Chief pyhsician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. programs that discriminate against students, especially on sexual orientation," Baker said. The ROTC program assists with the funding of a students' college education with the agreement that that student will join the military as an officer. The Department of Defense has apolicy prohibiting homosexuals from becoming officers in all branches of the armed forces. "ROTC brings more educated students into the military," said Baker, "as well as giving support to students who want to go into the military." The Academic Senate urged the Department of Defense to end its discriminatory policy based on sexual orientation. In a written response, the Department of Defense wrote: "Accordingly, we do not plan to reassess the Department's policy on homosexuality." New center reduces writing anxiety LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Faced with a menacing 2,500-word, across-thecurriculum writing requirement, Cal State San Marcos students are hard-pressed to deal with anxiety created by term paper assignments. To help students. in the process of writing class assignments, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing center. The Center uses student tutors to help decipher class writing projects. "This is not a paper mill," says Mendoza. He stresses that the objective of the Center is to help students formulate their own ideas and not to write their papers. The 10 student tutors working in the Center are comprised mostly ofEnglish and Liberal Studies majors. They meet with Mendoza on a bi-weekly basis in seminars to learn tutoring concepts and methods of dealing with problems. Each tutor is required to spend a minimum of two hours per week in the Center. In return, they receive three units of class credit each. "We've had people from eight different majors use the Center so far," says Robin Keehn, student director for the Writing Center. Keehn says she has already tutored students who had difficulty approaching research papers, poetry interpretations, journalsand social-psychology papers. Even though tutors will face subject matter with which they may be unfamiliar, Keehn says tutors still can help students formulate their own ideas. "Tutors can help anyone get ideas for papers," she points out. "No writer writes within a vacuum." Tutor Elizabeth Sansom says that feedback is an important element in the paper-writing process. "I would not think about turning in a paper without getting feedback first," she says. Since its opening a month ago, the Writing Center has increased in its popularity. Keehn says that business is expanding so quickly at the Center, that students are advised to make appointments with tutors. "I had to turn away three students yesterday," Keehn said last Friday. With the second half of the spring semester starting after Easter, tutors anticipate an increase in students using the Center. Since many assigned papers are due in the final days of class, tutors expect the need for the Writing Center to increase. Keehn stresses that students should utilize the facilities at the Center in order for the program to continue its operation. "Our hope is that we will prove the worthiness of this project," cites Keehn. "If we want to make our program live, we need students." Student tutor Roy Latas says that professors he has informed about the Writing Center have expressed enthusiasm in the concept and have openly encouraged students to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by i t Keehn says the Center will help students at any stage of the paper-writing process. From die "germ of an idea" to the final product, students need help in approaching problems, says Keehn. "I guarantee that if anyone brings a paper in here, the writing will improve."

With the series of storms expected to hit San Diego in the next week, Amado said he is also concerned about construction delays that might be incurred with rains. Another problem facing the budding campus is the lack of available funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 last November, money, that would have gone into furnishing the new buildings, suddenly became unavailable. "The state is currently experiencing major financial difficulties," said Amado. " It's difficult to acquire any type of additional funding." Funding has already been approved for all of Phase I, but Amado said the rate at which Phase II will begin is dependent upon another source of income. �TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991/PIONEER 5 S PRING P ERM S PECIALS HAIR DEPOT & TAN's Custom Perms, Specialty Wraps, Spirals, Piggybacks, All Perms Call for a FREE consultation with one of our professional stylists!

The Academic Senate claims the basis for such a suggestion stems from the ROTC's refusal to accept homosexuals into its organization. Because of the organization's bias, the Academic Senate feels it necessary to deprive low-income citizens—who have no prayer of raising funding for education save through the programs ROTC offers — of higher education. Once again the overly liberal academic community contradicts its own goals through its actions. The Academic Senate seems more concerned with making a liberal statement than it does with the advancement of education to as many people as possible. Themilitary'spolicyofnotacceptinghomosexualsamongits ranks is a valid age-old policy that is reflective of the moral integrity that our armed forces are supposed to represent Those that serve in the American military should be spotless examples of perceived social morality. Whether we like it or not, the military is an elite, sexually segregated club that has proven its ability to run efficiently without the opinions of the academic community. Whether we like it or not, it should remain as such. Its members should be constructed of the highest moral fiber attainable in America. Even though this goal will never be fully met, it can be pushed along towardfruitionwith the policy of antihomosexuality. Issues of sexuality have no place on the battlefield. If the American military starts accepting homosexuals what will be next? Coed bunkers? Perhaps a battalion of those who practice bestiality will arise. Even with this age of sexual enlightenment and tolerance, homosexuality is still considered socially aberrant behavior. For thisreasonwe will never have a gay President nor should we have a gay militia. The reason homosexuality becomes a public issue for discrimination is that liberal organizations, like the Academic O U R V IEWS ••••^HaHHBHHHaHHHBHi STAFF EDITORIAL Senate, make it one. S exual p reference should remain private b usiness not to be shared with the world at large. For those who cry about discrimination heaped upon toem because of their sexuality, we can only say, "You should have kept it to yourself and your partner. We didn't care to know about your sex life in the first place." With its shunning of ROTC, the Academic Senate is drawing attention to an issue that few of us, save the vocal out-of-thecloset homosexuals care about. As a result of its action, those who joined ROTC to afford a quality education will be deprived. Why should the military discriminate against a private activity like homosexuality you may ask? The answer is simple. On the battlefield private lives temporarily cease to exist. All personal problems and abnormalities are shared with the guy in the trench next door. Imagine how comfortable a guy in a tank would feel when confined with a raging queen. The last thing his uncomfortable mind will want to do is fight the enemy. We at Pioneer are by no means homophobic, rather we would like to stress the point that individuals with contempt for homosexuals do exist Judging from the very goal of the military, it is probably safe to say that more than one homophobe exists in the armed services. The last thing our military needs is internal conflicts between heterosexuals and gays. So what is the Academic Senate really doing by condemning the ROTC's age-old policy? They are simply trying to gain some liberal ground that is currently slipping with the rise in the conservative military's popularity. That's a pretty sad reason for excluding the needy from education. Imagine a country so buried in its own garbage it pays poor countries to take the waste off its own hands. Or a country that actually considers sending its trash into space. Or a country with barges piled high with trash and nowhere to go. As we approach the 21 st anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, there is no need to imagine such a country; it is America. It is time to realize that, as consumers, we are being used in a game for profit in which we profit nothing. The $85 billiona-year plastics indusSTUDENT FORUM try has sold us the idea that plastic is the perfect packaging; it is convenient, non-1 breakable, squeezable and disposable. What do plastic manufacturers mean by disposable? Although the plastics industry makes huge profits, the responsibility for disposal is ours, not theirs. And the fact that unnecessary plastic packaging will not decompose for at least 400 years is alarming indeed. Consider this: we throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles, 2.25 million disposable diapers, and 250,000 plastic pens every hour! While the numbers themselves are staggering, when coupled with the reality that these products will remain in the environment longer than our cars, our homes, our children,t)ur grandchildren and their grandchildren, we realize the plastic industry's definition of "disposable" is not ours. Once plastic refuse enters the environment it is not stagnant; rather it is an active threat, killing one to two million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year. These innocent victims unknowingly ingest or become entangled in our disposable plastics. According to David Laist of the Marine Mammal Commission in Washington D.C., "Plastics may be as great a source of mortality among marine mammals as oil spills, heavy metals or toxic materials." While this plastic threat can float in our oceans or waterways for a long time, it also washes up on our beaches, causing an enormous litter problem. On a typical day at Beacon's Beach in Leucadia, I found: plastic milk bottles, soda bottles, six-pack holders, tampon applicators, shampoo, mustard and catsup bottles, a bandage box, suntan lotion, motor oil and brake fluid bottles, razors, diapers, fast food plates and cups, etc., etc. Now we must realize that the production of this refuse is dangerous. TheEnvironmentalProtection Agency has a list of 20 chemicals, the production of which creates the greatest amount of hazardous waste, and five of the top six are chemicals used most often by the plastics industry. The production of plastic generates hazardous waste, emits toxic chemicals into the air, while also polluting our water. Plastics are also dangerous to incinerate because of the toxic fumes emitted.

It pays no attention to criticism." N .DEKALB K UWANIS B EACON With war in the Middle East waning (for now), the national consciousness has returned to domestic issues. Among these issues, deterioration in world market competitiveness has American economists and politicians looking toward Japan, and its economic strategy, as a possible panacea to emulate for the nation's economic affliction. This elixir has unhealthy side-effects and will only put the American economy into a coma by widening the fissure between the rich; who are increasing in political power, and the middle-class; who, for the first time in US history, have a lower standard of living than their parents and are joining the ranks of the poor; who are increasingly growing in quantity and decreasing in political status as evidenced, for example, by funding cuts in medical care. Japan's industrial targeting, through such bodies as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), has set up a dichotomy of winners and losers. Import barriers, such as on rice, force Japanese consumers to pay more for the grain and gives farmers there an inflated p rofit Itiscommonfora Japanese urban middleclass family to live in an apartment of less than 1,000 square feet, pay more for food and other goods than their American counterparts, and deal with a bureaucracy that forces them to buy a new car every two or three years. Does the American public need this kind of big-brother government intrusion into its daily lives? Additionally, M i l l ' s development policies have often been wrong. In the early 1950s MITI opposed Sony's attempt to go into transistorized goods, citing that the U.S. had cornered this VIEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 of plastics produced are recycled because, according to Solana Recyclers, the only market for recycled plastic is beverage bottles. Because of the mounting concerns of consumers over the hazards of plastic waste, the industry is trying to sell us their solution in the form of "biodegradable" plastic. This may indeed pose a new problem. Because the same chemicals are used in the production of "biodegradables," the hazards of manufacturing and incineration remain the same. "Biodegradable" plastics can take months to break down, allowing plenty of time to suffocate or entangle wildlife and marine mammals. Smaller pieces are also easier for animals to ingest. What is most frightening, is the health hazards they may create when broken down. This concerns the EPA because, when plastics disintegrate into smaller pieces, there is more surface area exposed from which heavy-metal pigments and other toxics could leach out into the soil. Allen Hershkowitz, a solid waste expert with the Natural Resources Defense Council, has yet another worry. "These little pieces of plastic, which are laced with heavy metals, are small enough to be market. In the 1970s MITI opposed Honda's attempt to venture into automobiles. Do we need, in the United States, a governmental agency telling us, for example, that towns such as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Golden, Colorado should abandon beer production because the Germans have a monopoly on the frothy brew? What the U.S. needs is both capital-intensive, as well as knowledge-intensive, industries if it is to b e a world-market leader. Support for high technology does not mean we intend to write-off heavy industry. What it does mean is that the United States should be the world leader in high technology and therefore command an advantage in international trade. We saw in the war against Iraq how handsome the dividend is when we invest in high technology. We will never produce all the steel we need, but we cannot afford to be without a capacity to produce steel, if for no other reason than strategic defense; at the same time it would be unwise to invest in steel given the nature of external competition. Proponents of the Reagan/Bush economic doctrine contend that by stimulating the economy through tax-breaks for industry, the consumer benefits by virtue of the trickle-down effect. Their mantra-like dogma, they preach, will stimulate the economy through tax reductions for business. This will, in turn, fnotivate growth in industry, giving the group more capital to spend, and with this growth in capital spending comes the need for more workers. More people with jobs means more spending on goods and services which increases demand, and with an increase in demand there will be a need to increase supply which brings more growth in industry. What the consumer may lose initially is made up for ultimately with a decrease in unemployment and more money in his pocket to spend. What the proponents forget is that industry, like Machiavelli's prince, only sows the economic seeds of growth only as much as the amount of money to be reaped. Special-interest groups continue to place pressure on Congress to pass legislation that will favor them; what this means for the rest of us, is less being spent on education, police and fire protection, and other public services, and more money being taken out of our pay checks in order to cover the decrease in assets resulting from tax breaks for those in targeted industries. The Japanese government has shown that large amounts of public funds, along with larger amounts of bureaucrats, are unnecessary for an effective industrial policy. What makes industrial policy work is the competence of those in charge, therigorof the analysis they apply, plus realistic expectations of the market and a philosophy that transcends the American "what can I do to survive this financial quarter" mindset and looks instead at long-term goals. Industrial targeting places a false emphasis on goods that consumers may not want; this means that industrial capacity is sacrificed. In short, all the manure in the world doesn't help the grass grow if the trickle of trickle-down economics wrings the middle-class dry. breathed through the nose and mouth into the lungs," he said. So what can we do to halt this threat to our health and our environment? First, we must stop our cycle of consumption without conscience, and realize the choices we make affect much more than ourselves. We must consider the permanence of the products we choose, while re-using these products as many times as possible. For instance, although a disposable diaper can only be used once, a cloth diaper can be reused hundreds of times. This ' use it once and throw it out' attitude must be stopped. Every time we grocery shop we are asked, "Paper or plastic?" Although the best answer is to bring your own reusable canvas or mesh bag, the second best solution is to choose paper and use it the next time you shop. Some supermarkets even pay when you bring back your bag to be refilled. Before we make a purchase we should consider whether the packaging can be recycled. Because there are many products we cannot buy in recyclable packaging, we must join others in pressing our state and local governments to consider a comprehensive measure to limit or ban the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging, while as individuals we must follow through in our actions by recycling everything we can. Mandatory recycling may also be necessary because, although we have curbside recycling in our communities, only 50 percent of the homes participate. Recycling is everybody's responsibility; therefore we must educate and encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to recycle with 100 percent participation as our goal. Although it may seem we have far to go in the eradication of plastic packaging, let us not lose sight of the tremendous impact the actions of an individual can have. For, if we are to make a change before the next anniversary of Earth Day, it will take individuals like you and me, taking small steps toward a better world. It is only through the collection of many small steps that any great distance can be travelled. SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor.

At night it is often circled and illuminated by headlights. An additional 18,000 acres of land is being acquired to the OHV area and will soon be open to recreational use. More information about the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area can be obtained by calling 767-5391. The Anza-Borrego Desert is also home to several natural, unpaved hiking trails. The Park Rangers caution hikers of cacti and rattlesnakes and recommend carrying plenty of water. One of the most used trails in the park is the Borrego Palm Canyon N ature Trail. This trail starts at the top of the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground an leads to a native palm grove and a year-round stream. There is a slightly longer alternative route which returns hikers via a hillside with some different plants and a good view of the Borrego Valley. This is a 1.5mile trail.

Using the lens as apaintbrush, he meticulously reflected the natural world around him. With a camera Adams was truly one with nature. Because his works teemed with spontaneity and beauty, however, Adams' view of the civilized world seemed cold and contrived. Because of this, Adams' two photographic displays now showing at UCSD clash with each other; one is a perfect example of the technology at the UC campuses, and the other clearly depicts nature in its truest form. Adams was commissioned by the then UC president in 1963 to take vast amounts of pictures of the University's campuses in California. A sample of these photographs is on display in, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,' which means, "Let there be l ight" Every photograph seems to contain either huge, white, stark buildings, portraits or agriculture. None of the "familiar" Adams photographs are even alluded to in this display. One portrait in particular, is a perfect example of the stiffness and separateness that seems to permeate these commissioned photographs. This photograph is named, 'Tony Delap, Instructor, Art Department, 1967. UCI.' In the picture, Delap is seen posing and holding his glasses in his hand as if he is ready to speak. On his face is a pensive, yet knowing mood. In front of Delap is a table filled with geometric shapes, and in back of him there is an array of amateurish art pictures. This portrait is posed, rigid and totally without imagination or creativity. The only photographs worth seeing in the 'Fiat Lux' display are the desert research prints and the agricultural center prints. Otherwise, do not even bother viewing this portion of the exhibit. The second display, 'The Museum Set,' which represents photographs Adams took in 1979, is well worth the trip to the Art Gallery. In this display, Adams creates masterpieces out of the nature he views through his camera. Each print is a delight and a wonder with trees, rocks, mountains, snow, sand, clouds, waterfalls, or people. * vijv. . jfe. ,%/'¥• v.' Ansel Adams used the Scripps Institution of Oceanography as the focus of "The Scripps Pier, ca. 1 966/ The Regents of the University of California now have the rights to this and other Adams-signed photographs. As the viewer approaches the second display, a large portrait of Adams and his camera dominates the wall. Adams is within every single photograph of this display. In 'The Museum Set,' a compelling portrait is, 'Spanish American Woman Near Chimayo, New Mexico. 1937.' This portrait features an older woman. Her face is her life's story. With a small smile, she calmly looks off into the distance. Shrouded in a black veil, her face, with all its tell-tale wrinkles, is encircled and almost protected from the world. Behind her is a bleached, worp, wooden column, which is a reflection of the woman's solid, aged face. Another of Adams' photographs within this display is named, 'Oak Tree. Snowstorm. Yosemite National Park, Ca. 1948.' Standing majestically and powerfully in the middle of the photograph is a solid oak tree, with its branches energetically reaching for the sky. Delicately resting upon the branches of the oak is peaceful snow. Behind this great oak is a small forest, but no tree is as powerful as the oak. This entire photograph gives one the feeling of solitude and peace, and "Evening Clouds and Pool, East Side of the Sierra Nevada, from Owens Valley, California, c. 1962" is traveling with a series of Ansel Adams' photos entrusted with the Pacific Telesis Group. looks as if walking into it would be like walking into heaven. Viewing Adams' photographs is both calming and stimulating at the same time. If you have never seen his works, it is worth driving to the UCSD campus to view this wonderful man's prints. However, skip the technological display, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,* and go directly into the second display, 'The Museum Set.' There are some superb photographs within the second display, and Adams is at his best in these photographs. These two collections will be on display at the Mandeville Gallery on the UCSD campus through April 7. . 'Fiat Lux' collection on UC tour For two decades, 605 signed Ansel Adams photographs of the campuses andresearch centers of the University of California lay sequestered in a University of California archive, virtually forgotten until last year. After they were once again brought to life, 100 of these never-beforeexhibited prints were curated for a traveling exhibition called, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux.' The prints will be shown with selections from a companion exhibitentitled, 'Ansel Adams: The Museum Set,' through April 7, in the Mandeville Gallery of the University of California, San Diego. 'The Museum Set' is a collection of photographs owned by Pacific Telesis Group. Adams created this collection to represent the scope of his l ife's work. He produced only a limited number in this series before his death in 1984. PacTel acquired this set in 1984. The origin of the 'Fiat Lux' set occurred in 1963, when UC president Clark Kerr commissioned Adams to take extensive photographs of the UC campuses for a book that would commemorate the university's 100th anniversary in 1968. The photographs were taken at the University of California's nine campuses, natural reserve systems, research stations and agricultural units during a four-year span. Adams exposed more than 6,000 negatives for the 'Fiat Lux' project. From those, he selected the images to be produced as signed fine prints. The project was to be called 'Fiat Lux,' which is the UC system's Latin motto meaning "Let There Be Light." In conjunction with the publication of the book, Kerr had planned a series of public and private events for the centennial, but the tumultuous political situation at the Berkeley campus, where the UC president's office was located, caused the occasion to pass with little notice. As a result, Adams' works were placed iw'j tnoa gjgW SEE ADAMS/PAGE 13 I JitU *Jf »>'•?•>«»•••..»>if �'NIGHTBREED' A BARKER, BUT Darkman' sheds light on old theme A lot of men think that women have no taste in movies. They are gobbled up in the misconception that the only movies women like are the mushy, gooey romantic flicks. Not me. Whenever I pop into the local Blockbuster Video to make a selection, I put a gag on my date and commence with the choosing. Most of the time my dates find that I can last through a tape that grosses out even the machoest of guys. But queasiness does not a good movie make. I do have a sense for quality control too. Whereas guy s usually pick movies like 'Psycho Freaks From Hell* or 'Amazon Women of Venus,' I go for more first-rate flicks like T h e Exorcist* or 'Poltergeist.' Unfortunately, even I screw up once in a while. On a recent excursion to the video store, I was lured into picking up the worst movie of 1990; a Clive Barker horrible mess known as 'Nightbreed.' If not for my other movie, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman,' the evening would have been a complete waste. The worst t hing a bout 'Nightbreed,' is that it was allowed to reproduce on video cassette. Before the movie begins, author-director Clive Barker primes viewers with a talk of how his movie "breaks the conventions" of the horror genre. It sure does. By combiningpoor acting, a Swisscheesy script and laughable special effects, Barker gives horror-flick conventions the finger. In the movie, Barker creates a ADAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 into the archives in the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley. The sequestered photographs were tracked down only after James Harrod, manager of the UC Irvine Bookstore, became curious about the use of several Adams' prints for a 1986 UC publication. After he had located the photographs at the Bancroft Library, Harrod chaired a committee which then selected 100 prints for an exhibition for the UC systems. The 'Fiat L ux' collection had its inaugural exhibition at the University of California, Irvine, in January. Over the next 16 months the two collections will travel to several UC campuses and to the Oakland Museum. The exhibition and its tour was V IDEO R EWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE mythical world known as Midian, where stupid-looking monsters live in peace to escape the evil humans. The movie's hero is Boone, played by Craig Sheffer (from another turkey 'That Was Then, This Is Now') who is convinced by the evil Dr. Decker, David Cronenberg, that he is a crazed serial killer. I c an't believe that Cronenberg, who directed such horror classics as ' Scanners,' ' Videodrome,' ' Dead Ringers' and 'The Fly,' could act so badly. Working, in the past, with such polished performers as Jeff Goldblum and Jeremy Irons, you'd think he could have picked up acoupleof acting tips. S heffer's love interest, played by Anne Bobby ( 'Bom on the Fourth of July'), is a slam in the face to womenkind. Here is a chick that makes more stupid moves than Saddam Hussein.

It might not be the most believable film ever made, but it is one of the most fun. Dr. Peyton Westlake, played by Irish actor Liam Neeson ('Suspect'), is just about to discover a new synthetic skin. He can get the skin formula to last for only an hour and a monster verse bad people is corny and overused. Yet, Barker has the audacity to tell the audience how clever he is being. I saw better dialogue in the 1964 Japanese classic, 'Voyage Into Space.' If yourent'Nightbreed,' don'tturn out the lights . .. you'll fall asleep. In honor of its creator, I can honestly say this film is a true Barker! v half, but on the verge of a breakthrough, his laboratory is obliterated by a bunch of thugs led by Larry Drake (Benny from 'L.A. L aw'). Left for dead, Westlake is found in ariverand brought to a medical center where doctors, (thinking they are dealing with just an ordinary John Doe) play around with his nervous system. The result is a man who can feel no pain and has an uncontrollable temper. So what we now have is a guy who c an't be hurt, is mad as hell and has a recipe for synthetic skin that lasts about 90 minutes. Putting on the faces of the villains, Westlake gets his vengeance with superheroic style. Neeson plays his role with nice understated charm. I would have liked to have seen more of him in the movie, but Raimi kept his actor's exposure to a minimum to add mystery. Neeson's Westlake is a cross between 'The Phantom of the .Opera' and 'Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.' He builds great empathy for this tragic hero. Westlake's principle love interest, p layed by F rances M cDormand ('Mississippi Burning') is the kind of woman I like to see in movies. In the character of Julie, she is independent and compassionate, without being s marmy. U nlike t he b imbo in 'Nightbreed,' this woman is a class a ct Director Sam Raimi made some of his great movie magic, that he demonstrated in 'The Evil Dead II,' reappear in his comic book story. The effects are pretty cool with explosions and melting skin galor. As a superhero movie, 'Darkman' kicks the tights off 'Batman' because it concentrates more on the action than the dark undercurrents of the p lot It is a movie that really sheds some light on a old superhero theme. f— C O U P O N — Pancho's Mexican Cuisine O L D C ALIFORNIA R ESTAURANT R O W 1 020 S an M arcos B lvd., # 104 $ a n M arcos, C A 9 2069 (619) 4 71-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.

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

Tenured layoffs rescinded by trustees Tenured and tenured-track faculty will not be laid off this academic year,CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced at the Board of Trustees meeting, but he warned that layoffs are almost inevitable for 1993/94. 'There will be no layoffs of tenure and tenure-track faculty for this year," Munitz said, "but all this buys us a transition year. I don't see how we can avoid them for 1993/94 because it will be an equally difficult year, we can't be optimistic about i t" Layoff notices for the 1993/94 year could have to be sent in March to take effect June 30,1993. CSU seeks more land The CSU will file.an application with the U.S. Department of Education to acquire up to 2,000 acres of Fort Ord, an Army base near Monterey destined for closure in two to three years. The CSU would move the San Jose State off-campus center now in Salinas to the new site, with the eventual goal of developing a fullservice campus of 25,000 FTE students by about 2015. The proposed university would emphasize science, math, foreign languages and international education. Because it is considered surplus federal land, the property is expected to cost California taxpayers little or nothing. On-campus concerts planned The arts and lectures program of Cal State San Marcos is hosting the following concerts: • The CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble will perform Dec. 1 at noon in Room 14-102. Under the direction of CSUSM professor Don Funes, the ensemble will perform musicfromBolivia, Ecuador and Peru on original instrumentsfromthe region. • The San Diego Master Chorale will perform Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. in the Dome Cafe.

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

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

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

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

Our parents are lawful permanent residents who pay taxes that contribute to the California University school system. Why are we being denied access to high« education? Gov. Wilson's veto of bills such as AB 3525 send the wrong message to students like us.

OSCAR BRACAMONTES/ CSU HAYWARB STUDENT and IRMA C MUNOZ/UC DAVIS STUDENT ifS&l �8 EXPLORI The Next Generation' goes no JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Space, the final frontier. As the voyages of the starship Enterprise warp into its sixth season, its mission remains intact as the television series goes where no other syndicated show has gone before: No. 1. "Star Trek: The Next Generation" has finished as the top original program in syndicated television for thefirstfour weeks of this season. That performance puts the sciencefictionspin-off of the original "Star Trek" in the No. 6 slot against the major networks, according to its studio, Paramount "One of the reasons people are taking notice is because for yet another year, there's nothing that compares," Janeen Bjork, a television sales programmer, told the Los Angeles Times recently. "I mean, there's a whole lot of action hours out there that try and never come close." A Paramount promotional clip boasts, "In 1991, the series sets record highs and is blasting ahead of such shows as "Cheers," "L.A. Law" and the all-time network heavy champion: Monday Night Football." Star Trek was created by Gene Roddenberry, who supervised thefirstthree and only seasons for the original series. After being cancelled in 1969 there was an array of successful motion pictures, and Roddenberry started up in 1986 with "The Next Generation." After Roddenberry's death last year, Executive Producers Rick Berman and Michael Pillar have taken the helm and continue to navigate the crew in search of new life and civilizations. But why has the sciencefictionshow become so popular? There are many reasons, one being a great following being built up before "ST:TNG~even began. "I think more than ever, as television continues to change, and continues to give the audience new and different types of programming, there's something wonderful about the familiarity of Star Trek," Berman said in the Times. "The familiarity of the show has always been a key element" The new Enterprise is truly similar to the original series, but the new episodes contain several elements that make it a distinct winner over its predecessor. One of those factors is there are families aboard the starship. "(Star Trek) deals with a family of people in a future that's much better than the present," Berman said. That family characteristic is what drew Ronald Moore to the series. Moore, now Co-Producer for the show, started his Star Trek writing career four years ago with an episode entitled "The Bonding." "I wanted to know what happens on the Enterprise with all these families. At that point, "the series didn't deal too much with the fact that there are all these spouses and kids," Moore said." I wanted to know what happens when a little boy has his mother killed on an Away Team mission." Moore told of his many dealings with "ST:TNG" at San Diego's Star Trek Convention last week. His stories gave interesting insights into the science fiction legend. One special one for him was his collaboration on "First Contact," an episode where the Enterprise crew meets a new civilization. His contribution was that he changed the point of view of the story p lot "Instead of telling the story traditionally from the point of view from die people on the Enterprise, we told the entire storyfromthe view of the aliens for a change," Moore said. "It's an explanation of what i t's like when a civilization is first visited by aliensfromouter space who land and want to sleep with their nurses." Moore is credited with creating the Klingon Empire starting with the "Sins of the Father" episode. "It was the beginning of the Klingon epic that I became associated with," he said. The Klingons are a barbaric, ruthless civilization bordering on Federation space. In the original series and throughout five of the six movies, the Klingons were enemies. In SEE SERIES/PAGE 10 /AVAW PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1992 �Blast off with the original cast on video tapes SHEILA COSGROVE/PIONEER There's a rule of thumb to follow when rating Star Trek films. The even-numbered ones are top-of-the-pack action adventures. The odd-numbered ones suck moon dust For some reason, the oddnumbered Trek films fail to capture that essence which made the television series so successful—the mixing of endearing personalities with intergalactic social problems. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," although rich in special effects, was a universal bore. The special effects were definitely out-ofthis-world, but the story dragged on two and a half hours. Filmed only a few years after "Star Wars," "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is stuck on the special effects trash barge. It concentrates on lengthy shots of the unimaginable rather than dwelling on the endearing characters that made the television series so successful. Still, it was good to see the old crew back again after losing them to the great unknown for over a decade. In comparison to many of the other Trek flicks, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" lacks depth and originality. It tries to speak to a basic issue of humanity through glitz and not the characterizations that Trekkies grew so fond of. Three years later, in 1982, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" hit the screens with a power deserving of the series. Thefilmplaces the ageless Ricardo Montalban in the role of Kirk's superhuman adversary Khan. Although Kirk had banished Khan to a desolate planet many years ago, the villain resurfaces with a vengeance. "The Wrath of Khan" draws from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" in its depiction of a man obsessed above all else to conquer and destroy his lifelong rival. In his quest to kill Kirk, Khan sacrifices his chance for universal conquest Spiner's Data gives meaning to 'life' as series seeks out new epilations would like it, he is simply a machine and that's that way it is.

"We didn't see mucli of the Klingons in the original series and the movies. I mean we didn't see much of what the culture was like, their beliefs and values," Moore said. "This was that opportunity to explore them." Moore introduced an array of Klingon characters including Worf, Worf s son Alexander, and the child's mother Kalar. But Moore is also the writer who killed Kalar in the series. "Everyone asks: 'Why did you kOl Kalar?' " he said. "Because it was fun," Moore answered. He continued to explained that Kalar had a strong following and was a good character. "That's why it worked. It's a powerful moment in the show," he recalls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Free Speech Mission Statement review board stirs heated debate between students, staff LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Free speech became the topic of conversation and action throughout the month of October as university officials and students decided the fate of a communications storyboard in the Commons's dome. The board was placed in the Commons dome after Mission Statement Day in September. The storyboard consists of six cork panels with Post-it notes available for students to pen their comments and ¡)lace them on t hecork. Sheets of observations from Mission Statement Day panels are stapled on the board for student reaction and opinion. Student comments quickly filled the board and raised university eyebrows. According to Laura Mitchell, A.S. president and member of the University Mission Statement Day Committee, university o fficials moved to try to oust the storyboard from the Commons. Mitchell said the university held concerns about establishing the dome as a free speech area on campus. She said Auxiliary Services wanted to move the board to an outside area on campus near student traffic areas. Mitchell f ought t o keep the FREE SPEECH ... at Cai State San Marcos storyboard in the dome, sending the issue to the A.S. Council and the student population. She said the dome, as a common meeting place on campus, was the best place to hold the storyboard. A dialogue on the issue formed on the campus* electronic mail system. The storyboard then became a kind of free speech board for CSUSM. At an Oct. 9 A.S. meeting, Vice President of Student Activities, Dr. Ernest Zomalt, and Academic Vice President, Richard Millman, heard from more than a dozen students advocating not removing thè board from the Commons Building. According to Millman, those students were "influential" in keeping the storyboard in the Commons. The following day, the board was given the OK to remain in the dome. On Oct. 23, A.S. Council member Charles Inglis removed all comments from the board, discarding them in the trash. Inglis said the storyboard was not being used for its "intended purpose." He said the board serves the "dual" purpose of gauging the responses to Mission Statement Day and serving as a posting place for clubs and organizations. According to Mitchell, however, the board's primary purpose- is to provide a method of communication for students who have concerns over the campus's Mission Statement Inglis said the comments on the board did not reflect the original principles. "I removed political comments, slanderous statements, crude and rude jokes. Nobody took responsibility of the board," he said. "I had no intention of taking away any right to free speech." Mitchell said she does not approve of some ofthe comments on the board, but added that she did not want to SEE SPEECH/PAGE 4 Dome Cafe plans for Nov. 16 opening ANITA WILLIAMS/PIONEER Melinda Martens, Dome Cafe Manager, was Sheena of the Jungle last Friday as she conducted a tour through the Dome Cafe facilities, the day before Halloween. Dressed in her leopard-skin costume she didn't look very much like the sharp, experienced food services manager she actually is. Martens unrolled blueprints and indicated tentative locations for food setup when the Dome Cafe is opened, and said it might be as early as Nov. 16, but definitely by the end of the month. There will be two wrap-around food counters, one for pizza and the other for both hot and cold foods, she said, with the desserts situated in a separate kiosk in the same room. "On that wall will be the Pizza Hut Express, in red and white," Martens said, as she pointed west. "We're not sure about the traffic flow into and out of this room y et" For now customers will have both entry and egress from the doors leading to the quad hallway (where telephones and restrooms are located). "We'll see if we need to make it one-way entrance and exit later, after the students use the room for a while." Marti Gray, Director of Auxiliary Services for Cal State San Marcos, said that "barring any unexpected construction problems" the cafe will open by the end of November. "We are within the 60 to 90 days from the day we got in here, the day before school started," she said, which was the agreed-upon time frame. "Cabinetry is being built and that takes time," Gray said. The one big problem they encountered was with the state fire marshal. When he didn't approve their original plans for the automatic extinguishing system, Gray said that they had to rethink the design. The Cal State University Foundation leases to CSUSM and subcontracts with Aztec Shops to do food services as a tenant. "We had to have the drawings redone," Gray said, "as we are a tenant and are responsible for the improvements done on the shell.

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

Universities generally designate one place where open and free speech is afforded." I At most other universities, free speech areas are located outdoors. Vocal demonstrations and protests frequently occur in these areas. UCSD, for instance, uses an open quad in Revelle College as its free speech area. SDSU has a large grassy area allotted for its free speech zone. University officials worry that, if a free speech zone were to be located in the Commons, vocal demonstrations could disturb those wishing to eat in p eace or t rying to study in a noncombative atmosphere. Although CSUSM's older population has shown no inclinations for large vocal demonstrations, officials worry that later, younger classes may be more active.

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

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

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

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

But when the book's shell has the autograph of Walt Disney, the precedent is set for a fantastic story. "The Beauty and the Beast," released last week on video, is a wonderfully animated, musically beautiful and amazing story. The tale unfolds around a handsome man who is bound as a beast, played by Robby Benson. The only way to return himself to his original winsome self is to fall in love with a woman — and have her love him. Animator Glen Keane created a creature that is both hideous and ferocious, yet transforms into something beautiful as it is tamed by the charms of a woman. Keane combines a smorgasbord of creatures in his beast and adds a pinch of Disney magic to help his monster come alive. 'There's never been a character like him before," explains Keane, "so there was nothing to fall back on. I began creating the beast by figuring out who the character really is inside. "He's a guy trapped between two worlds. He's part animal and part human and h e's not comfortable with either. His design had to show the human side: heart, warmth and the ability to love. The ferocious, hideous animal side had to reflect his incredible power and agility, i filled my mind with all of these things and began processing it into a final design." In the end, Keane created his own hybrid beast taking the mane of a lion, the beard and head structure of a buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a wild boar, the heavily muscular brow of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf and the big bulky body of a bear. To all the above, he added the SEE BEAST/PAGE 16 Belle and the beast dance in the grand ballroom of the beast's castle. The scene uses breakthrough computer animation for the background; the characters were added through the traditional animation. Angela Landsbury sings the title song during the scene. Alladiii to fly in this holiday Walt Disney Pictures will release "Alladin" in theaters this holiday season, bring the magical kingdom's collection of full-length animated feature films to 31. Starring Alladin, the main characters will include Princess Jasmin, Abul the monkey, Iago the parrot, Jabar the villian and of course, a very special Genie of thè Lamp. Music composers from "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Mermaid" join the Disney cast again for six new songs. Disney's newest full-featured animation movie takes the marketplace by storm JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER For those avid Disney fans who reserved their copy of "Beauty and the Beast" several months ago, it may not have been necessary. The newest animated classic is everywhere. At the Escondido Blockbuster Video, the volume is so large that architecturally-sound stacks of the videos dot the store and it is covered wall to wall with the cassettes — literally. "Beauty and the Beast" has a suggested price of $19.99. For those who haven't been able to find a copy yet, here's a short list of advertised business and their prices: • Target: $15.88. Target also has the dolls and themed clothing on sale. • Longs Drugs: $15.99. • K mart: $14.97. K mart also has the dolls, plush toys, watches and themed clothing on sale. • Blockbuster Video: $16.95. • The Warehouse: $16.99. • The Disney Store (North County Fair): $19.99. The Disney Store has an endless array of toys, musical tapes, clothes and just about anything for "Beauty and the Beast" In addition to these prices, Nabisco is offering a $5 mail-in rebate. All that is needed is the proof of purchase of the video and four proof of purchases from Nabisco products. The offer information comes along in the video boxes. If the video is not enough, then you may be interested in the collectors'edition. The package comes with the video, but adds the "Making of Beauty and the Beast" video and book, the soundtrack and CD and a large print from the original movie. The set retails for around $100, but some stores are selling the collection for around $75. "101 Dalmatians" and "The Rescuers" are two other videos from Disney also just released in stores. "Pinnochio" will be released on video soon and "Sleeping Beauty" will wake up in theaters this upcoming season. �BEAST Computers generate assistance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 most important: sincerity.

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

New phone system to open up CSUSM L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER Students at Cal State San Marcos will have more ways to "reach out and touch someone," thanks to a business agreement signed with Northern Telecom and Pacific Bell last Monday. Under the agreement, the two companies will donate $1 million worth of state-of-the-art equipment and expertise over the next three years to link the CSUSM permanent campus site with educational and research institutions around the world. Potential innovations made possible by the fiber-optic system include distance learning using two-way interactive video; electronic study groups with students from around the world; simultaneous computer access to images, sound and text; and voice-to-text and textto-voice translations. The system will allow students to simultaneously interact via television monitors with classrooms as far away as China, Russia and Japan, and as close as the area's community colleges. " I'm excited," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. "It makes access to the university as far away as the nearest phone." Bob Lee, executive vice president for Pacific Bell, called the project "an electronic super-highway that will link the university to the state and the world." Through the system's 24-hour link-up with the U.S. Library of Congress and overseas libraries, students and professors will find access to research information at their fingertips.

The following two paragraphs contain the correct figures and rankings. Six California State University campuses are ranked among the to 10 of public comprehensive universities nationwide in total amount of private gifts received in 1990. Among 151 universities surveyed, four CSU campuses led the nation: San Diego Slate University with $10.8 million; CSU Long Beach with$ 10.6 million; Cai Poly San Luis Obispo with $ 10.4 million; and CSU Fresno with $7.9 million. Cai Poly Pomona was ranked seventh with $5.6 million and San Jose State University was ninth with $5.2 million. Last withdrawal date set The last day to withdraw with a "W" grade is Oct. 14.

Business Partners program postponed one semester JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Dean of the College of Business Bernard Hinton has postponed the implementation of Cal State San Marcos' exclusive Business Partners program until next spring in which time the university will rewrite a portion of the planned curriculum. In a letter dated Sept. 13, Hinton wrote the business partners to inform them ofa "construction delay we have experienced." He cited three reasons for the delayed implementation in his letter: to integrate the alternative of internships into the mentor structure; the curriculum design was not completed; and manuals and guidelines were not completed. "The obvious major improvement or change from a student point of view is the added intern feature," Hinton said. "I think that will be a very popular alternative - one that will enhance student placement" In the original plan, students would be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community. In this student/mentor relationship, the student is given the opportunity to become involved in resolving real-world problems. ' ...we need to finish the design of our new curriculum before implementing the mentoring feature.' B ERNARD H I N T O N / B U S I N E S S D EAN The mentors, part of the four-level Business Partners program, responded with additional needs. "We discovered that far more companies than we anticipated wanted students to serve as interns," Hinton said. Adding the intern option sent the College of Business back to the drawing board to write an updated curriculum. "Because we intend the business mentoring program to be an integral part of our curriculum, and to serve as a significant source of feedback on the success of the curriculum, we need to finish the design of our new curriculum before implementing the mentoring f eature...." Hinton wrote in his letter to the businesses. "We designed this program to integrate with the final curriculum of the university," Hinton said. The program has to go through "somewhat extensive review process." After the curriculum is authored by the dean, approval must be obtained by campus faculty members, university officials and the Chancellor's Office, respectively. "Right now, i t's in the hands of the faculty," Hinton said. In writing the program, Hinton had to write something that would meet accreditation and be innovative for the 21st century. " It's very exciting," he said, "from a student point of view. "If you like what we have, you're SEE PARTNERS/PAGE A7 Donors could buy building names with a cool million contribution What's in a name? T his c ommon q uestion w as amended at the S ept 19 University Council meeting when Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy asked, "How much is a name worth?" If the you're a building at the permanent CSUSM campus site under construction off Twin Oaks Valley Road, the answer could be $ 1 million. University officials are seeking benefactors willing to exchange the sum for the opportunity to name future and existing academic halls, laboratory buildings, baseball fields, the central campus bell tower and a future university president's house. Stacy said the contribution would "make a nice memorial" and would forever link the benefactor's name with the university. The only named building on the permanent campus, the William Craven Administration Hall, is named for the California state senator who signed the bill which brought CSUSM into existence. The academic building and laboratory complex slated to open in fall 1992 still remain nameless. For the most part, donor funds will be used to support academic or student services housed in the named building. Since the state has already allocated funding for the construction of the permanent campus, monies received won't be used to actually build the facilities. Funds could also be used to purchase needed equipment and pay for professors. • Stacy said all these needs could be fulfilled without spending even a dollar of the donated funds. Money received will be placed in an interestbearing account which will supply needed dollars for services. "In perpetuity, the $1 million would be spitting out interest every year," Stacy said. " It's a steady stream of dependable money." The university is also seeking smaller donations which would give benefactors the opportunity to name classrooms, a student quad or start a scholarship fund. "The most compelling need for this universityrightnow is scholarship money," Stacy cited. He said student loan programs develop slowly. "A lot ofkids fall through thecracks because we don't have a financial-aid program like we should." Larger donations to CSUSM might be used to actually construct campus buildings that the state refuses to fund. An auditorium planned to accompany the university's performing arts center, for instance, won't be funded by the state. Donationscouldhelp to financially kick such projects o ff, while prompting state legislators to f und them. �A4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1,1991 NEWS C ampus Calendar Workshops Planned A.S.

State anticipates half million students by century's end Growth projections for the California State University indicate that the CSU could surpass half a million by the year 2000. The CSU is the country's largest system of senior higher education. In the last 10 years, enrollment has grown from 313,850 in fall 1980 to 369,053 in fall 1990.Thcnumbersareexpected to grow even more drastically with the increase in population at Cal State San Marcos. Fifteen years from now, classroom hallways could be bulging with at least 477,900 students, and perhaps as many as 550,000students, depending on different scenarios. What could drastically affect those numbers is financing. The state's budget woes - caused by a slumping economy, dwindling tax revenues and increased demand for services - is the single most telling ingredient in how the CSU will grow into the future. Historically,theCSU has beenable to meet student demand, basically through adequate state funding. At this point in time, however, student demand is exceeding resources, thus causing unmet demands. California's promise to all qualified students that it willfinda place for them in higher education could be broken in the near future if sufficient funds are not available. "We have to question seriously whether CSU can continue to enroll all eligible students with this decreased level of funding," said Chancellor Barry Munitz. 44 At some point, and we may reach Local Volunteers Selling... CULTURAL GIFTS > CLOTHES INSTRUMENTS •SCULPTURES JEWELRY COLLECTABLES it this year, we could find it impossible to fulfill our mission of providing a quality education to every student who enters our doors. For this reason, we are taking a close look at the budget process and how it affects our entire operation,*9 Munitz said. If the system were forced to deny entrance to students because of lack of money, not enough faculty and fewer services and classes, growth projections for the coming decade will be revamped, Munitz said. According to a report prepared by the Division of Analytic Studies, four major factor have driven CSU growth this past decade: • Asian, Filipino, Mexican and other Latino immigrant and refugee children entered the state's public schools in record numbers. • These students in turn entered higher education as first-time freshmen in unanticipated numbers. • The annual fk5w of undergraduate transfers to the CSU held steady at 60,000 despite downturns of community college enrollments. • The CSU improved its persistence rate; that is, more students are successfully progressing toward a degree. Five scenarios of enrollment demand have been made using different sets of assumptions about how these four factors could influence future enrollment levels. All the scenarios begin with the premise thatpopulation growth, as projected by the Department of Finance, will yield larger numbers of incoming students. rff In the first, it is assumed that all enrollment patterns - transfer rates, freshman participation, persistence would remain the same. Under that condition, enrollment would rise to 477,900 by 2005. In the second scenario, improvement in persistence rates is assumed to continue, with enrollment hitting 497,500. In the third, it is assumed that nonwhite high school graduates will enter the CSU as freshmen at the same rate as white graduates, leading to ah enrollment of 516,700. In the next scenario, improved transfer rates for nonwhite students would increase estimates to 527,300. The final scenario presumes full ethnic parity in high school graduation rates for a top estimate of 550,200. Recent forecasts by the Department of Finance indicate that public school enrollment will reach 5 million this fall, or a 4 percent increase. Through the rest of the decade, the department estimates that figure will reach 7.2 million. 'These students," Munitz said, "are the future of the CSU and the state. To be able to grow and find a place for them, we need a better, more stable financial base. We cannot continue to layoff faculty and staff, cut class sections, increase class size and fail to buy books and equipment "If we want our economy to recover, and if we expect California to continue as a leading force in the world, higher education has to once again become a priority in this state."

"For nearly 70 years, Soviet communism substituted the myths of people's democracy, socioeconomic equality, and proletarian internationalism for the reality of political freedom, economic liberty, and national independence. "As long as the party leadership was able to retain monolithic control over the instruments of coercion and communication, these myths concealed the elitism, economic inequality, and nationalism that were its true character," Zwick says. He says that Soviet communism was an economic disaster. The nation was unable to keep up with the standards of living in market-oriented Western nations and some ThirdWorld nations.

In an effort to help students and staff at Cal State San Marcos sort out the complex climate of the Soviet Union, Dr. Peter Zwick, professor of Political Science, addressed acrowded room of spectators eager for enlightenment on Russia's problems. Zwick, who has authored two books, several book chapters and a handful ofjournal article on the Soviet Union, is the leading expert on Soviet affairs at CSUSM. " ... (this address) captures what I consider to be the most important process at work in the world today: the simultaneous collapse of Soviet Communism and the Soviet Empire," Zwick says. Zwick speculates that recent events in the Eastern Block are "merely a prologue" to future revolutionary change. He says the developments now occurring in the Soviet Union were not as totally unexpected as critics have suggested. "Like geologists waiting for the "big one' that will hit California some day, we knew it was coming, but we didn't know when," states Zwick.

According to Zwick, the end of the Soviet Union marks the beginning of a "New World Order." He says that, apart from Bush's interpretation of that term, the new order will be an economic gauge of international power. "Henceforth, there will be a truly multipolar world of economic actors in which the United States will play a significant, but not dominant role," Zwick says, adding that this system will make it far more complicated to "identify adversaries and partners." Zwick warns that the collapse of the Soviet Union might pose dangers to the world that were not present during the Cold War. Russia will continue to be a nuclear power, but so might its republics. Local conflicts, therefore, have the potential to become global ones. "The Cold war was dangerous, but it was stable and relatively peaceful from the Atlantic to the Urals," he says. "The post-Cold War era promises to be both dangerous and unstable. " ... while the short-term results of the revolution we are witnessing may be to our liking, the long-term process will be difficult, painful, and prolonged, and the results of the collapse of Soviet communism and the Soviet empire is unlikely to be domestic and international harmony." extent of Soviet economic retardation, the Soviet leadership doggedly kept its citizens isolated from the rest of the world and carefully edited the picture that they received about conditions elsewhere," cites Zwick. Adding to the high costs of maintaining the Russian system, the Soviet Union took responsibility for other countries which Zwick refers to as "the worst economic basket cases in "A Vision Limited Only the world." Combined with the arms race, the Soviet Union became evenBy One's Imagination" tually bankrupted. Zwick says that Mikhail Gorbachev was the catalyst which sent revolutionary events in motion.

Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation is known to promote three types of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and causes 500,000 cases annually. It is usually localized and curable. Squamous cell carcinomas cause 100,000 cases annually and, if diagnosed early, can be curable. Melanoma, although causing only 35,000 cases annually, is dangerous and if not caught early can be fatal. The incidence of both squamous cell and melanoma is increasing faster than all other cancers. Many scientists attribute some of this increase to the thinning of the ozone layer, allowing greater penetration of ultraviolet radiation. Also, some scientists think that people in general are spending more time in the sun in recent years thus increasing the cumulative e ffect Another group thinks sunscreens may actually be contributing to the Co, t a £ j jg burns as a child or teenager, thai increases your risk.

Next week voters are asked to give their approval on key issues during Gal State San Marcos' third student election.We've learned, mostly through Pioneer, about the importance of raising student fees and the sad financial status of the Associated Students. But, with elections less than a week away, an interesting question comes to mind: Where are the posters, buttons and banners? Granted, in a university housed in a shopping center environment, overindulgent campaigning is scarcely possible. Yet, with the importance of ballot measures A and B, one would expect at least a cursory flier or two. Obviously the A.S. Gouncil is not seriously considering the importance of Monday and Tuesday's vote. They must be taking it for granted that students see issues regarding fee measures as they do. At the Election Committee meeting formed to set guidelines for the upcoming elections, not one A.S. Council member was present Student Affairs Vice President Ernest Zomalt said the A.S. wished to remain removed from the guideline-setting procedure so it could concentrate its efforts on campaigning. So where are those efforts manifested? Last semester there was no A.S. at election time to communicate the importance and meaning of fee measures to students. As a result, students voted down a crucial measure which would enable the A.S. to collect fees, but approved, albeit narrowly, a $15 fee measure. The cause for such mixed messages could be that students simply didn't understand what the enabling ballot measure was saying. If the case is such, then the A.S.'s task is e asy... promote understanding. The A.S. has written paragraphs explaining each ballot measure, but students probably won't even see those clarifying statements until they vote. By that juncture the effort might be to late. Would it be t oo much trouble to place fliers explaining ballot measures in the Student Lounge or Library? If more information was STAFF EDITORIAL spread by the A.S. on the seats available in the Council, then perhaps more students would have applied for candidacy for the open positions. As it stands now, only two candidates are vying for one of the three seats. The alarmingly low voter turnout at other universities could be attributed, in part, to the difficulty of information dissemination at large campuses. No doubt CSUSM will someday be faced with the same difficulties. . However, since CSUSM remains relatively small, this problem should not exist. One would expect the A.S. to be, at the very least, overly aggressive on the campaign trail. After all, the A.S. has a $12,900 debt to repay to the University Foundation. Money needed to pay that loan back won't come from nowhere. Bake sales and refreshment booths wouldn't even pay the interest if the loan came from a bank. Judging from the effort the A.S. is putting into this campaign, it is doubtful they would even be able to pull a bake sale off. If either Measure A or B does not pass, then the A.S. has only itself to blame. Hopefully in the next week they can put out at least a minimal effort of promoting ballot understanding. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1991 U.S. foreign policy: a two-lane freeway America has always been schizophrenic about foreign policy: don't do anything during peacetime, and then leap out with military might to right the world when it misbehaves. This may be described as a two-lanefreeway: isolationism merged with reactionism. Unfortunately, the tolls on this road keep proving too expensive. George Bush, the United States' most visible and effective foreign p olicy president since R i c ha r d N ixon, has asked for approval to "fasttrack" an economic unification of North America PreGUEST COLUMNIST dictably, isolationists complain that American jobs will be lost, and they oppose these free-trade talks. There are some reasons to be concerned, granted. The term "fast-track" is borrowedfromthe legal community, wherein it describes a procedure replete with strict deadlines to insure speedy trial. In this instance, far less is prescribed. Bush seeks carte blanch to negotiate a comprehensive pact that Congress will later say, yes or no, to. At worst, a bad agreement could be approved without the full democratic process (i.e. consensus building) checking its errors. Most specifically, short-term benefits will go south. The initial benefits will mushroom in Mexico's climate of cheap labor, relaxed real estate regulations, vast natural resources, and ecological indifference. At first, America's healthful economy will be nursing the emerging Mexican infrastructure. In the long run, roughly one or two American jobs of a middle-class prospect or better will develop for every four Mexicans in a blue-collar position. In the very long run, that is the best news for the United States, promising more of what America's new economy should be composed of: service industries - like lawyering, teaching, and management - leading the information-management age. Another long-term benefit ignored by the isolationist voices (who would also have us "do more" about the flood of undocumented aliens straining California's infrastructure) is enabling us to handily influence - and jump-start - the economic emergence of the Hispanic block of nations. Nations that are capable of supporting their people's income and political aspirations do not have exodus problems. If a remote goal of United States' foreign policy remains a world of democratic free-markets, Bush's proactive intentions are on the right track indeed. Let's hope that Congress permits it to be fast enough.

A T HOUGHT: "Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more?" HERMAN MELVILLE In a recent letter 'Angry Student Recounts Registration Woes' (anonymous) the writer expressed concerns that he/she was mistreated and misinformed regarding the registration process for students returning to CSU, San Marcos after "stopping out" one semester. We all sympathize with the frustration experienced by the student(s). We are here to work with any or all of them so that they can understand and be supported by our system. Perhaps some brief definitions and explanations might help others who plan to "stop out" in the future. 1. Students who maintain their enrollment from term to term are defined as continuing students. 2. Students who break their enrollment are defined as returning students (anonymous was a returning student). 3 .0f the 70 students eligible to return this fall without reapplying for admission, only eight chose to do so. 4. Students who plan to "stop out" should file a Leave of Absence form. If they do, they will receive registration materials at the same time continuing students receive theirs and will be eligible for early registration. 5. Students who don't file Leave of Absence forms will not be eligible for early registration. These students will receive registration materials only if they make a specific request to Admissions and Records. They will be eligible for registration during the schedule adjustment period only. I hope this information provides some clarity with regard to the "stop out" process. We believe this system provides a fair and equitable process for differentiating between students who break their enrollment with every intention ofreturning the following semester from those who simply walk away. ERNEST ZOMALT/VICE PRESIDENT STUDENT AFFAIRS A.S. membership: fee excessive tax In the last issue of Pioneer, there was an article about the upcoming Associated Student Government elections (Enabling measure reintroduced). The A.S. is calling upon us to approve three ballot measures and to elect three representatives to fill the three unoccupied seats. We should carefully analyze the three ballot measures along with the debt the A.S. has incurred. The first ballot measure we should examine is Measure B. This ballot measure would allow the A.S. to assess a $15 membership fee per semester. If you, the students, believe that $15 being involved for pay and/or fringe benefits. The other major concern I have is about the $12,920 debt that the A.S. is facing. The A.S. government, in its infancy, has already placed the government in the red. It makes me wonder if this will be a continuous pattern throughout the A.S. government operations or if this is just a one-time occurrence. In conclusion, I believe that the students should do three things. One is to vote "no" on PUBLIC FORUM Measure C on Oct 7 and 8. The second thing that students should do is examine the other two per semester is not an excessive tax, then you measures and let their conscience decide how should vote "yes" on Measure B. they should vote. Finally, students must call on It appears to me that the A.S. is unaware of the A.S. government to introduce a constituthe financial burden that this fee would place on tional amendment which would require the A.S. students, a burden that most can ill afford. government to have a balanced budget. Furthermore, if you believe as I do that $15 per Only the students, through a popular vote, semester is an excessive tax especially when the should be allowed to incur debt university fees were recently increased by 20 percent and when the economy is lagging, then W ILLIAM R .

If you're a person who feels that a collection of a fee is not necessary, then vote "no" on Measure B.

It might have something to do with the fact that the handsome protagonist wears tights and has bulging muscles. Or maybe they're just plain unbelievable (whammo!) fun. Ever since Hollywood came into existence, comic book heroes have been a staple of cinematic diet. The past twelve years have brought us such Strong men as 'Superman' (I; n , III and IV), 'Tarzan' (Bo Derek yuk-yuk version or dignified 'Greystoke'), "The Rocketeer', 'Swamp Thing' (sequel thing too), 'Dick Tracy', 'Conan the (beefy) Barbarian' and 'Conan (the beefy) Destroyer', 'Popeye', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' (regular or ^ with ooze), 'Flash Gordon' and, of course, the over-rated 'Batman.' Each summer we can bet to see at least one new hero and maybe a return engagement of an old one in the theaters and video stores. And why not? The storylines are already there in the comic stores so nobody need worry about (gasp!) a good script. Besides, most movie-goers need a steady diet of special effects and comic books supply a great framework for them. In my uncanny, superhuman opinion (bof!), the best of the comic-turned-movie crop lies in the first two 'Superman' movies. My first experience with 'Superman' was in the back of my mom's stationwagon (clunk!) when I was a teenager at the drive-in. There I was, with my squirrelly little brother eating popcorn, halfbelieving a man could fly and save Who do you love to hate the most? the world.

Fortunately the film doesn't have that (wimp!) venerable sidekick, Robin. Wherever there are superheroes, there are supervillains. As the antithesis of heroic figures, these evil planners put the vital conflict ^ ipto comic book plots. ^ Superman's nemesis (boo!) Lex Luthor was played cunningly by Gene Hackman in the Superman movies. His intricate, devious plans were always one step ahead of Superman.

The store holds 500,000 titles Marvel and DC, the two largest between its walls. publishing firms, also use clever gimmicks to boost investment Marines buy comic books that values of their products. The current issue of Marvel's 'X-men' uses five alternating covers on the same story to get collectors scrambling for all issues. Each cover will be worth a different amount depending on artistic and esthetic value. The iE* issue has all five covers and sells for $3.95. DC Comics now runs a saga entitled, 'War of the Gods' which crosses over 23 different book titles concurrently. The story features heroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman who battle the gods. Rumor has it that Wonder Woman will meet her demise at the close of the saga. If serious collectors hold the entire series, itcould be worth major money in the future. Graf said his most valuable comic for sale i s a volume of 'The Incredible Hulk* worth $300. He also holds a significant personal collection. Graf claimed he was once offered $80,000 for the first issue of Superman. Along with the Superman comic, Graf also holds the first issue of 'Batman.' Even though the old standby superheroes such as the Man of Steel and the Black Knight yield the biggest profit for collectors, their popularity has waned as of late. The new rage of superheroes is mutants — usually with an "X" in their titles. 'X-Men', 'X-Force' and 'X-Factor' now lead the market in sales, said David Descoteau manager of Escondido's Comic Gallery. "The 'X* m the title originated from thasuperheroes having an extra gene," said Descoteau. "Basically i t's an excuse for Marvel to explain their supernatural powers." Comic Gallery scored a big sale a few years ago when it unloaded a 'Spiderman # 1' for $900. The store's most valuable comic now is 'Avengers # 4', worth $400. Whereas once comics were geared for children, they now strive to reach adult audiences as well. The characters have gotten sexier and the plots more sophisticated as readers grew with them. Descoteau said "children have a lot of other things to spend their allowance on," like video games and television. Comic books have trouble keeping up with the fast pace of electronic mediums. Comic books rarely have a complete story between their pages. Each book is like a portable installment of a soap opera. Batman is now on his third Robin, Superman is engaged to Lois Lane, characters die and come back and sex is no longer a taboo.

Well, if you're really a sleuth and have a hankering to find a murderer, then the Murder Mystery Theatre at Lake San Marcos cart put you on the case. A delightful, fun and entertaining time can be had if you dare to enter. You will be seated by one of the theatre's mannerless shifty-eyed derelict characters that may be a murderer. When the show begins with a murder, you are par t of it, like it or not. Audience participation is a m ust No one seems guilty at first, but soon enough you will find yourself suspecting someone— the Madame, or maybe the piano player—of foul play. Be careful, clues are all over, and if you don't find them all, you won't get the real culprit. ! In between the acts, the derelict cast ajlows you to eat, but don't put your guard down. One of them may sit choose to sit beside you and eat your dinner, or maybe kidnap your partner. Watch your back and keep your eyes out for the murder weapon—it may be pointed at you. Everything at the Mystery Theatre is afoot with fun. The audience participates because the actors include every person in the audience. Instead of performing on a stage, the actors flow by the tables of onlookers, including them in the plot and murders. Before the show begins, the audience receives a passport with everyone in the cast's name and profession imprinted upon it. Clue sheets are everywhere. The dinner presents itself between the acts, with four courses, soup, salad, main dish and dessert. Every time a course is served, the audience must prepare for the next act, writing down clues and discussing motives. Everything in the theatre is shrouded in black and white, including the tables, the actors and the walls. However, don't be deceived; clues to solve the murder are not so simple. The difficulty lies in guessing the correct murderer, and answering why. At the end of the play, the winning name is chosen (the one who guesses the murder correctly), and that person receives a black and white tee shirt with "Get a clue" and "I solved the Mystery at the Mystery Cafe," imprinted on them. Now showing at Lake San Marcos Resort is 'Murder at the Cafe Noir,' written by David Landau-and directed by Kimberli A. DavisBaker. Shows run every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m., and the dinner and show cost between $30 and $34.

The production is located at the Lake San Marcos Resort - Murder at the Cafe Noir,' T h e a t e r home of incorrigible Mann E LAINE WHALEY/PIONEER When you decide to take in an evening at the Mystery Theatre at the Lake San Marcos Resort, one of the actors who will escort you to your table is the incorrigible Kevin Mann. Before you even reach the table you will have several strong first impressions: • This guy is BIG! His sweeping black Count Dracula cape emphasizes his stature. • This guy is EVIL! Mann assumes a hoarse, croaking voice with just enough of a tinge of lecher to make your skin crawl. • This guy is FUNNY! Just when you are starting to think, "Who the hell is this weirdo?" it starts to get good for you. You realize that the things this draconian figure is saying are really outrageous. He's impossibly rude and impossible to resist. Mann uses his role as the melodramatic evil Anthony Cairo as a vehicle for a natural comic flair. His obvious enjoyment of this role is con- tagious. Although Mann has studied acting in Los Angeles, he comes to the Mystery Theatre as a local talent. He graduated from Vista High and studied Drama at Palomar under instructor Pat Larmer. Mann has other theatre experience in the local arena also, working at Lawrence Welk in its production of ' Don't Drink the Water.* He has also landed some bit parts in commercials. On the down side, Mann said that all too frequently actors end up getting jobs that have nothing to do with character type. If your appearance fits the bill they are looking fill, you get the job. Mann is currently in the organizational stages of opening a non-profit theatre in the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center. When Cal State San Marcos develops a more comprehensive drama department, Mann is interested in studying in the program. His humor, talent and experience would make him a welcome addition to our learning community.

New and improved East/West relations and its consequence for the spy trade is the subject of 'Company Business,' thefirstsuch film to address this issue. It stars Gene Hackman as Sam Boyd, a retired spy master who can onlyfindworkin industrial espionage, ferreting out trade secrets for a cosmetics company. He comes from the old school which taught their agents to do this the good old-fashioned way which completely ignores the computer age. Boyd is surprised when the CIA calls him in to do one more job for them - namely to oversee a prisoner swap. His c harge i s Soviet P yiotr Grushenko (Mikhail Baryshnikov) who worked as a double agentuntil he was captured and incarcerated by the Americans. Grushenko is to be swapped for a captured American agent who is supposed to be a close friend of the president. Because the Berlin Wall has come WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC down, the Soviets and the Americans have lost their usual prisoner swap spot atcheck point Charlie. Now they must go underground to a station for a subway that travels between East and West Berlin. But Boydfiguresout there's more going on than just a simple swap and he botches thedeal, taking Grushenko and $2 million with him. Things get complicated as the two former spies are chased through Berlin and Paris by both the CIA and the KGB. Written and directed by Nicholas Meyer(4StarTrekII: Wrath of Khan'), this film is right on top of current political situations, such as the Berlin Wall coming down, and was reworked daily to include changing events. Geraldine Danon (left), Gene Hackman and Mikhail Baryshnikov star in 'Company Business.' But this kind of pressure can make or break a film and this one shatters. Working from a sketchy plot to begin with and suffering from deadly dull pacing, 'Company Business* lacksany spark it could have had in the right hands. Part of the problem is the chemistry, b etween H ackman and Baryshnikov, which is to say there isn't any. God knows, between the two of them, they have some talent. But they can't collectively gather any steam to propel this film forward. Since 'Company Business* fails to make a mark, the field is still wide open for a definitivefilmon the subject. It's pretty certain that this movie will fadefromtheaters and memories faster than events changing in the Soviet Union. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1 991PIONEER Music Calendar Acoustic Alchemy: Performs as part of Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay at 2241 Shelter Island Drive on Oct. 3 at 7 and 9 p.m. 278-8497 Allman Brothers: Performs with special guest Little Feat at the Starlight Bowl, Balboa Park, Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. For tickets, call 278-8497; for information, call 570-1222.

Do you remember when, if played very loudly, their music would frighten small children and send parents into a panic? Well, the thunder is rolling again. Metall ica has revitalized that sound on their self-titled fifth recording, 'Metallica.' The band's new producer, Bob Rock, has once again captured the esscnce of a band and brought them to the doorstepof em inent success. Rock was able to make Bon Jovi's 'Slippery when Wet' into a household name. But, unlike his work with Bon Jovi, Rock has squeezed out the best from DAVID HATCH PIONEER MUSIC CRITIC Metallica without compromising their "Heavy Metal" foundation, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the writing duo of Metallica, have produced not only some of the hardest metal bone-crunchers available but also the most passionate ballads on Y Brenda Brubaker Word Processing Services Academic/Business/Personal EL inn WordPerfect 5.1 Training (619) 738-2634, by Appointment 1618 Stanley Way • Escondido, CA 92027 Pickup & Delivery any rock recording I have ever heard. Check out, 'Nothing Else Matters.' If Metal is the voice of frustrated youth and a rejection of social community, them Metallica has captured that energy'and funneled it into this recording. But do not get the idea that they are blind anarchists. On the aptly titled 'Don't Tread on Me,' they express the pride and patriotism many Americans felt as their nation was provoked into war (No matter what you thought of the decision). There is not one cut that best represents the entire album. The single, 'Enter Sandman,' comes close but the quality of songwriting and the tight sound of the band go well beyond that song's performance. Metallica and its new producer have proven that diversity may be the skeleton key that unlocks a dungeon of talent and mass appeal, not to mention some thought-provoking music. For you classic metal buffs, buy the recording, listen to it and decide for yourself if 'Enter Sandman,' 'Sad But True' and the ending solo of 'My Friend of Misery' aren't an inadvertent homage to the Ozzy-era Black Sabbath. 34 varieties o f subs & sandwiches 1.

Located on San Marcos Blvd., Sub-Marina has the quaint atmosphere of a country deli. There, you can choose from 34 sandwiches on the menu or design you own sub. All are guaranteed to drown even the heartiest of appetites. The ATC (avocado, turkey and cheese) sandwich is a true taste sensation that is served on a wide choice of breads. I found the meats and toppings to be fresh and the bread soft and spongy. Sandwiches come with lettuce, tomato, onion, Italian dressing, mustard and mayo to form a well-balanced meal between two slices of bread. The place is immaculate and the service is fast. It took less than five minutes to construct my sandwich. Prices are reasonable, ranging from $2.80 for a sixinch salami and cheese to $3.70 for a "Club Sub." For a little extra, you can add avocado, sprouts, pickles, OLLEGIATE OURMET BY ELAINE WHALEY F ilms jalapefios or pepperoncini (those tasty pickled peppers). With coupons, the deli's deals reach new fathoms. If you are having a party, three-foot subs are available. If your family is single-handedly trying to control the gene pool, go for the six-footer. Sub-Marina also caters. If you happen to have a family reunion and want to save the women the chore of cooking, then Sub-Marina can painlessly fulfill your needs. Business persons might be interested to know that Sub-Marina has a fax menu. Copies can be obtained at the restaurant Sub-Marina also takes phone orders. Even though the atmosphere has a slight country appeal, it is not terribly exciting. But, who goes to a sandwich shop for atmosphere anyway?

Persevering fishermen try theirluck,hopingforbetter than perch. Last of the summer visitors clutch sweaters tightly to their shoulders, as they stroll up the Oceanside Pier, shivering in the damp evening breeze. Halfway up the pier, Leonard, the baitman, holds solitary watch over a cash register that rarelyrings.Pickled eggs, to bloodworms, to snicker bars waitpatiently to be consumed by living beings with eitherfeet or fins. Leonard, informs us that the summer has not been lucrative due to the unusually cold weather. "The summer that never was," not only kept the visitors away it also kept the water temperature lower than normal which kept the fish away as well. Leonard was not particularly upset because as he explained, "I don * t own the shop." However, Leo the business man- ager of the restaurant at the end of the pier, feels differently. "I'll do anything to encourage business. Large parties, small parties, weddings, catering, I'll do it. Aren't you hungry?" His food looks and smells wonderful. But while not by any means outrageous, these starving students can't afford it. We can afford, however, the delicious "happy hour" goodies upstairs. John, the bartender, serves us stirfried veggies, sweet and sour meatballs andricep ilaf—all for a mere dollar. Beer and wine at a dollar and well drinks for $ 1.50 plus a gorgeous view of the sunset over die Pacific (if the fog wasn't in the way) make for a mellow evening. After .a brief flirt with the cute locals, facing the elements on the propane heated balcony, we leisurely strolled back. Leaving the surfers to their never-ending quest for the perfect wave, we photograph the last of the summer lovers hugging on the sand and head for the warmth of our car. i SUNDAY BRUNCH ^ { J U k Basket of homemade pastries with Brunch order.

I llustration b y J O N A T H A N Y OUNG /PIONEER T own C enter c ompliments u niversity J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The concept ofa new Town Center mirroring Cal State San Marcos may become a reality soon with the expected appointment of an architect by the end of November. "We hope to sign an architect within the month," San Marcos' Assistant City Manager Paul Malone said. Malone said the Town Center will be located on Twin Oaks Valley Road on the north side of Highway 78, opposite the permanent university site. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. He said since San Marcos doesn't really have a downtown, the university and Town Center's construction, both visible from the freeway, would give an educational and civic presence. The center will include a library, city hall, community center, a theater, possibly retail offices, a hotel and houses. "If we lease some of this area to business," Malone said, "then it will pay for itself in the long ran." The city is working with the Koll Company SEE C I VIC/PAGE A8 NCTD switches to monorail track J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed Thursday to match San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the permanent campus of California State University, San Marcos. NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives for a light-rail commuter train travelingfromOceanside to Escondido. The dollar figure matches the donation from the city of San Marcos which is pushing for a monorail system. The transit district's current plans include a trolley system similar to the San Diego trolley. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North County area. Paul Malone, Assistant City Manager for San Marcos, said the current proposal only needs some additions to the rails to make the commuter line operational - such as more crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolley. The monorail system would require a whole new set of elevated tracks. The transit district has shied awayfromthe additional costs of elevating a new track line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its investment Malone said the university has played a major role in getting the idea of a mass transit rail system in North County rolling. "The university is what makes it feasible this early in time," he said.

Threats of rain and increment weather loomed over Sunday's First International Festival, but worries abated when the weekend's storm front lifted, yielding to clear skies. Cal State San Marcos officials estimated that the event brought about 3,500 people eager to experience the atmosphere of a "Global Village." The festival began on schedule at 11 a.m., showcasing such performers as Papa John Creech, Chinese Lion Dancers and Mariachis. Local restaurants specializing in international cuisine and arts and crafts vendors were also on hand for the event. Sunday's festival brought to closure nearly a year of planning by the university. Funding for theevent came from the Itoman International Company last year, when a $500,000 endowment was awarded to the college. Itomanapportioned$50,000of the gift for the first festival and will put forth similar amounts over the next nine years to fund upcoming festivals. Carol Bonomo, co-chair of the Festival Committee, said the event met the college's expectations for the community population has shown enthusiasm for the university's arrival, principally because of such events as Sunday's festival. "This was a good gauge of the effectiveness of the university's mission," he said. "We have an opportunity to seejust how anxious the people in the region are over their college." The weekend's events, however, were threatened by rains on Friday and Saturday. Due to the high cost of rain insurance, the college made a last-minute decision to erect canopies over craft community participation. booths, food vendors and performance "We had primarily community stages.

"I cried Thibadeau said that 82 percent of when I saw them," she said. University officials not certain when language requirement will commence RICHARD BEETH/PIONEER In attempting to fulfill its Mission Statement, Cal State San Marcos will be requiring competency in some foreign language. Officials, however, remain uncertain as to when the requirement will be implemented. Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center for Study of Books in Spanish and one of the founding faculty, says the importance of a language requirement cannot be understated. "B eing in Southern California with its large Spanish and Asian population,'' with Tijuana only 35 miles away,'and with the advent of the North American firee'trade agreement, it's more impbr&nt than ever to have' some Schorl says. Although the requirement Was waived last year, no decision has been made as of yet whether f t will b e CSUSM academic catalog, does not implemented this school year.

WEEN L ARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER Barbara Pender and Pat Ward display the cover of Cal State San Marcos'firstyearbook, Tukut Yearbook due out Nov. 13 L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though Cal State San Marcos' first academic year has come and gone, students, staff and faculty will have the opportunity to relive last year's experiences when Tukut, CSUSM's official yearbook, becomes available next month. Yearbook Editor Barbara Pender said t hat, according to contract stipulations with Taylor Publishing, the book will be completed and delivered by Nov. 13. Pender also said that Taylor, who is currently ¡Minting and binding the yearbook, could possibly finish its work on the book earlier than the November deadline. Last week, Pender and yearbook partnerPat Ward received a completed yearbook cover. Pender said she wanted the cover to represent the traditional values and new idealisms by which the university' sfirststudents were guided. To achieve this effect, Pender and Ward went to Orange County in May to meet with Taylor's design staff. Together they came up with a cover that has a marble-like texture laid adjacent to blue leather. The current emblem of the university, a drawing of a mountain lion, is embossed on the cover. "The cover represents the culmination of reality," Pender said. "We now have something tangible to represent our efforts. It looks damned good." Pender said the guts of the yearbook will consist of 72 pages ai?d an eight-page fold-outcenter spread. She said the first sixteen pages will be printed in full color with blue spot color printed throughout the book. Photographs for the yearbook were taken by Pender and Ward. Other pictures were garnered from the college's archives and files ofPioneer. According to Pender, 400 copies of the yearbook are being printed, even though only 239 were sold last semester. Of those sold, Pender said only 130 were bought by students. The others were purchased by CSUSM faculty and administration. "Once people see how beautiful this looks, i t's going to move fast," Pender said. Last semester, reservations for the yearbook were sold for $25. Because the participation was low, printing the book has a higher per-volume cost than it would have been with a higher printing run. As a result, those who want one of the 161 remaining copies will have to fork out $35. Pender said this price is still $8 below the cost of printing. Funding for the book was found through fund-raising, paid subscriptions and a $10,000donation from the University Foundation. Pender said that once those who pre-paid for the annual get their copies, the remainder of the yearbooks will be placed on sale through the Cashier's Office. Even though a date and location has not been formally set, Pender said she hopes to have a signing party after distribution. She said that because of uncertainties about when the yearbook will arrive, a party has not yet been planned. Pender said she is looking forward to next year's yearbook, but added that its look ajid content will be determined after reaction to the first -edition is gauged. " We've gone through so much trouble to makesure that everyone on the campus was covered," she said.

"We've always thought ahead of how to control traffic congestion," Malone said. Mass transit is the way the city decided to handle the traffic generated by the university'spresence. "Our compliments to the university administration for accepting this idea," Malone said. CSUSM is the only university in California to accept the concept of a trolley serving the campus. Malone said UCSD has refused the service for years. CSUSM, however, included it in the master plan of the university campus. "This is a real good example of the university and city relationship working together," Malone said. The commuter line's San Marcos stops include a station in front of Palomar College. A new track will be constructed between San Marcos Blvd. and Woodland Pkwy.; stops on this track will include the new site of San Marcos' City Hall complex and the university. The last stop within the city will be on Nordahl Road. San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau offered the initial alternative study idea to the City Council. The transit district approved the commuter line Sept. 12 despite Thibadeau's objection to the trolley idea. The commuter line is scheduled to open in 1995, but may be delayed a few years according to Malone. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A2 the develop the center. "We've hired their expertise in management and development," Malone said. "We acknowledged early on that we need assistance with management." Malone said the city staff is not trained in building a large development such as the 60-acre civic center. Koll was chosen through a developers' competition. Twelve companies responded to the competition and after interviews and company reviews, four were selected to construct a conceptual drawing of the center. "Koll brings extensive, national experience in mixed use development to this project and is well respected in e industry for its ability to deliver both on time and within budget," Rick Gittings, City Manager of San Marcos, wrote in a newspaper column recendy. "It is exactly this kind of 4 performance' mentality that the city hopes to bring to development of the Town Center project" Currently, the site is being filled with dirt The entire 60 acres must be raised before construction can begin. Malone said the filling came earlier then planned, but the city was offered fill dirt at no cost. Another company needed to get rid of excess dirt and would only charge for hauling and compacting the dirt "It ended up being less then half of what we budgeted," Malone said. "We'rejust trying to spend the public's money wisely." IMMUNIZATIONS N EEDED... Adults forget disease dangers O ct 27 through Nov. 2 is National Adult Immunization Awareness Week. The American College Health Association and 53 other health care and consumer organizations as well as government health agencies are sponsoring this program to urge all adults to obtain the appropriate immunizations in order to prevent needless illness and even fatalities. Recently, college students have become aware of the need for measles vaccinations because of the mandatory requirements by institutions such as CSU San Marcos. On the other hand, many students still believe that the immunizations they received as a child will protect them for life. Others aren't certain of what vaccinations they generally need or which ones they have received or new vaccines that have become available recently. Here are some facts quoted from the American College Health Association's newsletter • Of the 27,672 measles cases reported in the U.S. in 1990,62,207 (22.5 percent) occurred in persons 20 years of age and older; 27 or 89 (30.3 percent) measles deaths provisionally reported in 1990 were HEALTHNOTES BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS among 20 years of age and older. • In 1990 more than 1,000 rubella cases were reported in the U.S.; a provisional total of 23 children were born with congenital rubella-related birth defects. • American's lose more than 15 million work days annually as a result of illness from influenza although each year an effective influenza vaccine is available. • 200,000-300,000 new cases of hepatitis B infection occur in the U.S. each year, with 6-10 percent becoming chronic hepatitis B carriers although a safe, effective vaccine is available. • Up to one half of Americans over 30 years of age are inadequately immunized against tetanus and diphtheria. Despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines, there are still on average 50 cases of tetanus resulting in at least 10 deaths annually in the U.S. Students frequently don't realize that they are vulnerable and even at higherriskthan the general public for contracting certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The best example of this is the measles: however, influenza also can be rapidly spread throughout a college campus. Students who have chronic medical problems such as asthma, cardiac disease, diabetes, kidney disease are at highestriskfor influenza. Others who care for high-risk persons and health care workers should also be vaccinated. Although not considered high risk, any student who works with the public and especially with children should consider getting vaccinated in order to minimize the disruption of routine activities during an influenza outbreak. Immunizations work. The eradication of smallpox from the face of the Earth is a shining example. Consult your health care provider or S tudent Health Services for information regarding your need to be fully protected through available vaccines.

But for the employees at the Fallbrook Enterprise these stories aren't told around a campfire; they are told in the office. The place isn't mythical; it's in the office itself. And the stories aren't imagined. The Enterprise is haunted. Among the staff members of the weekly newspaper, a man, a woman and a girl roam the halls and rooms of the 50-year-old building. This is one of thefindingsof Alexandra Andrews, a psychic who visited the newspaper in 1989. "It's strange," said Donna Spicer, office manager for the Classified Advertising Department. She said some of the occurrences with ghosts are more weird than frightening. Spicer is quick to point out things that aren't usual mishaps. For instance, her typewriter - an old manual would be switched to triple space every night. Spicer always types in single space. "There are things that can't be attributed to anyone in the building," s picer S icer s aid,"... except tthe g host" " •• except he ghost Her coffee cup would be missing, would be missing, It u/nn1H tv* m m H ™ It would be ffound on the top shelf of a cabinet - in another room. A file would be gone. Spicer and her entire staff would look for it to no avail. This is not an instance of overlooking something, since it would be back where it was supposed to be at a later time. Computers would be turned on. Things would be missing. Items would be moved. "It's kind of an accepted fact that when something is missing, it was just the ghost," Spicer said. But that isn't the only proof of spiritual beings in the building. And it didn't take Andrew's readings to let them know either. "I did see the child," Texanna Schaden recalls. In 1987, before the building was remodeled and Schaden worked in a different department, she would come i na Sunday's to do work by herself. On her way in one day, she saw a girl with a long dress and long hair using a computer in one of the offices. After Schaden put her stuff down at her desk - a brief moment - she returned to P a tell the girl to not play with the macchine. hine, TU* The girl was gone. The computer was cold, as if no one had been there. "I didn't stay around too long after that," Schaden said. Schaden saw the girl the next weekend and again a few years later. Andrews does not sense any harm from the people. The ghosts just have fun. " It's s ort of m ischievous," Spicer said, "like a poltergeist." Sally Larsen, a former camera technician, stars in a lot of the stories told. She worked in the small, old camera room. Before the remodel, employees would have to walk a narrow, dark hallway, enter the dark room and fumble around tofindthe light switch. Without ghosts, the journey is frightening enough; but with the legends of spirits, the hallway becomes terrifying. In the small room, only big enough for maybe two people, Larsen has had hherrun-ins with two oofthe gghosts, er run-ins with two f the hosts. tu« i.. . ..i The only "menacing"» story is when the man appeared with Larsen and started throwing things down and unscrewing lights. The girl has pulled on Larsen's clothes and hair. Some stories interpret this as mischief. Others tells a tale of t rying to communicate with the living. Andrews says t hat one theory of ghosts includes ai* tempts by the dead to communicate with the living. Another theory, Andrews says, is the spirit stays when a person dies unexpectedly; the soul doesn't know it's supposed to leave. This second theory is used frequently when explaining how the three spirits reside at the newspaper facility. Before the newspaper offices were constructed, the site was home to a gas station. Spicer recalls a story of an W EEN explosion, but iis unclear why and explosion, but s unclear which f the three died. which oofthe three died. r i ^ Photographer Dick O'Brien tells a story of a flu epidemic taking the lives of the man and girl and the woman dying later. But through all the stories, one constant remains. The man and the girl died together; the woman years later. O'Brien is an old colleague of Andrews and arranged the first psychic reading of the Enterprise office. This first visit serves as the base to most ghost stories at the Enterprise. But the second visit by Andrews is not known by as many people and is not included in all the tales. About six months after the initial visit, Andrews returned with O'Brien and a friend one night Andrews went in alone. After a cup of coffee and 20 minutes of conversation, Andrews returned to O'Brien and hisfriend."Are they gone? What did you do?" they asked. "They will bother you no more," she replied. Spicer and Schaden said they have had nothing missing, moved or tampered with for over a year. Financing Your Education Can Be A Balancing Act.. Talk To Us About A Student Loan!

We have developed a reputation for not tipping well in restaurants. There are many reasons why women may not tip well. We may not be able to tip as well as men because we don't earn as much. That would be the kindest reason. But it's not a good one. If we can't afford to tip in the correct percentage to what we spend on our meal, we ought to go to a less expensive place. Another reason given is that many feel we have not been served as well as we should have been, so we pinch back on the tip. So why aren't we being served well? Many waitresses will freely admit they pay more attention to a table full of men than one peopled by women; because women don't tip well. Let's consider the domino effect this has on our reputations and on the service we receive as well. Waitresses don't serve womepweUbecaus^they don't expect much of a tip.

Yet, Thibadeau's wishing upon a star might not appease the County' s conservative critics who think the mayor is lost in dreamland. With his controversial conception of a trash-burning plant came the progressive idea of a trash-recycling center. Such a center would separate trash into recyclables and nomecyclables, thereby alleviating congestion in San Marcos' landfill. But the County's Board of Supervisors didn't buy the idea. It was just too controversial to deal with. Thibadeau's latest idea is to put a monorail system in San Marcos to serve a growing commuter population. If you've ever been to Disneyland, you know that monorails are, clean, quick and efficient But monorails are also expensive. Putting such a system in would require construction of an elevated track system and almost double the cost of the nearest commuter competitor, a tram. Finding the space for a monorail is another problem. A tram, similar to the system in San Diego, would run on tracks which already exist Putting in a system here would place minimal cost on the city. One reason for the mayor's zeal to add a progressive flair to San Marcos is the growing college community. As Cal State San Marcos grows, new businesses will arrive along with a largo- population. Thibadeau believes that by making a state-of-the art community, more and more of those businesses will be inspired to build here. In fact, the CSU system chose San M a^os because of that very poifentM. * B ui Thibadeau's enthusiasm is all too often criticized because ii conflicts with conventionality.

A person must be willing to share his/ her energies if an accurate reading is to be given. Mrs. Jenny likens psychic readings to hypnotism, in that a person can only be read if he/she wants to be read. "You have to have an open mind when you come in here," she says. Mrs. Jenny first recognized her extra-sensory talents when she was a child. She sees the ability as a natural God-given talent that has been passed down from generation to generation. She says her mother, grandmother and great grandmother held the talent in their lifetimes. "To us (ESP) is not so unusual. Other children would find the talent a little scary," she says. "But when you are born with it, it is very natural. It isn't something I developed or studied, rather it was passed down from generation to generation." Mrs. Jenny says that every person is born with some degree of extra-sensory perception, but many MRS. JENNY suppress the urge to use it. "Every human being on this Earth has ESP. A lot of people know they have it but are scared to talk about it," Mrs. Jenny says. "Now police and people in many directions turn to psychics." The office where Mrs. Jenny performs her readings is small and filled with a variety of different religious statues, paintings and symbols. She says that all of the religious icons in her office were given to her by people who have received readings from her.

How can there not be a God when we have green leaves and beautiful things? It is God who gives us the miracles of the Earth," she says. She sees all religions as paying homage and worship to the same god. Buddhism, Christianity and other religions all might have different names for the divine entity, but in the end all worship the same God. Ultimately, Mrs. Jenny says that the powers of God will overcome the forces of evil in the world. But she also says that there are hard times ahead for the future of humankind. She says the events in the Eastern Block countries are just a precursor of hard times to come. "There will be much more difficulty before it turns to getting better," she says. "It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. But when it does get better, there's going to be more love and harmony in communication with the whole world." She indicates that these worldwide changes will take place in the next four or five years. Mrs. Jenny says that most people in the world are sceptical about psychic powers. The majority Of the people she sees are nonbelievers who come in with a doubting frame of mind. She says that some of those people have to discover answers for themselves and find their own futures. In her office Mrs. Jenny has a picture of one person who experienced his future in a big way. The photograph depicts her meeting with former President Ronald Reagan. Mrs. Jenny said she met with Reagan during a psychic convention while he was still Governor of California.

At first cards consisted of a simple deck of playing cards. In the centuries since, tarot decks have become colorful and utilize highly artistic drawings to convey the feelings and predictions associated with each card. In the twentieth century, hundreds of different tarot decks are available. The cards are meant to pick up psychic energies from the questioner or querant The reader, or diviner, then lays the cards out and interprets the readers psychic energies through the cards. A 72-card deck of tarots has two different sections. The Major Arcana are 22 trump cards, usually numbered from 0 to 21 and displaying names such as "Death" or "The Fool." The Minor Arcana contain four suits of fourteen cards each, ace through 10 and four court cards: king, queen, knight and page. Usually, the suits are swords, wands, cups and pentacles. Each card in the deck has two meanings, decided by the position of the card to the diviner. When the card isright-sideup to the diviner, the soothsayer reads a "divinatory" meaning. Reverse meanings are read for cards upside-down to the diviner. Since most people are familiar with the cards of the Major Acana, here is the complete descriptions of each's meanings: 0 THE FOOL Divinatory Meanings: Thoughtlessness. Folly. Extravagance. Lack of discipline. Immaturity. Irrationality. Insecurity. Frivolity. Delirium. Frenzy. Enthusiasm. Naivete. Reverse Meanings: Bad decision. Indecision. Apathy. Hesitation, Negligence.

Reverse Meanings: Weakness of Will. Ineptitude. Insecurity. Disquiet Delay. The use of one's skill for destructive ends. II THE HIGH PRIESTESS Divinatory Meanings: Wisdom. Sound Judgement. Common sense. Serenity. Objectivity. Penetration. Foresight Intuition. Perception. Self-reliance. Emotionlessness. Platonic relationships. Reverse Meanings: Ignorance. Shortsightedness. Selfishness.

S EETAROT/PAGE B4 Fortune-teller brings future to the surface with cards Each of us experiences thrills on a day-to-day basis, when life brings a new shock around each turn of fate. In our minds we know that destiny can terminate our mortality in the instantaneous screech of car brakes or it can amass fortune and glory upon a long prosperous life. Discovering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune can be almost as painful andfrighteningas those weapons' physical wounds. With this in mind, I met with Mrs. Jenny, a psychic located in Escondido, with mote than a little anxiety. Mrs. Jenny offers three types of readings: psychic readings based on perceptions of the individual as a whole; palm readings, which rely on the lines and formations of the entire hand; or tarot card readings. I figured that after three cups of • coffee, a psychic reading might reveal that I was hyperactive and would live a very short, frenetic life. The palm reading was out because I hate people to discover that I chew my nails. For me, the tarot card reading seemed the most mysterious of the three. If nófRing else, having one's future foretold by a deck of cards makes for delicious metaphor. Six years ago, I had a card reading from Mrs. Jenny which turned out to be remarkably correct I'm not saying I necessarily believe in the luck of the draw, but the - coincidence of occurrence with her predictions was astounding. Back then, Mrs. Jenny read that I would return to school, marry a faircomplected woman who would bear one or six of my children and start writing again. Much to my delight, all of these predictions either came true or are currently in progress (I am pretty certain my fair-complected wife will bear only one of my kids). I can't tell you the predictions at my recent go at psychic counseling (doing so might effect the outcome of the readings), but I can share with you my own sensory perceptions on the event. The room where the readings take place is filled with religious statues and pictures, making the jymosphere feel warm and friendly. | here are no crystal balls or dark shadows in the room, only amicable S BY L ARRY BOISJOLIE warmth. I sat only a few feet from the augur, facing her through the entire reading. On a table to her right sat two decks of cards. She chose an old, worn deck that, at first glance, appeared to be a normal stack of playing cards. However alT the cards (even the hearts and diamonds) were printed in black ink. On each card was etched a picture. Mrs. Jenny said the cards were one of two decks left in the world. I cut the deck three times, supposedly transferring my energies into the deck, then chose one stack for the reading. On the table, she laid out nine cards from the stack in three rows. The seer then explained the mean-* ing of each card. Many people misperceive psychic readings as a one-way conversation where the reader does all the talking while the readee nods in amazement. Actually, the psychic asks many questions to help guide the flow of predictions. With each card came questions. After I forwarded the answers to the best of my ability, Mrs. Jenny would proceed to analyze my response and tell me an event that was yet to come. Some critics maintain that psychics hold intuitive powers that are by no means extra-sensory. Their training simply conditions them to seek out what people need in an answer. Fortune-tellers simply tell them what they want to hear. Just face it, when customers hear a positive future they will be pacified and happy. The fortuneteller earns a few dollars and everyone is happy. I left the reading not really knowing if Mrs. Jenny's power lies with psychic intuition or years of training. Whatever it may be, it left me feeling a little more secure about the future and confident in myself. �T AROT CONTINUED FROM PAGE B3 Failure to control petty emotions.

Local Exhibits Show That Art Is Not Blind . .. People Are D EBBIE DUFFY/PIONEER Have you ever attempted working on a piece of art and had it fall apart in your hands? John Raggio! has. Raggio! loves working with clay, but his first try at creating a perfect clay pot ended up thrust against a wall. Deciding to createaworkablepiece of art out of a failed piece of clay pot, Raggio! developed faces with eyes, a nose and a large mouth with teeth. Raggio! says his mouths "open an avenue to spirit. Everything does not need to be perfect, the artist can enjoy the beauty of asymmetricalness." These pieces of art - these mouths - prove that art does not have to be perfect and symmetrical. Art can be fun and loved. Raggio! believes that "breaking away" from the symmetrical mold can help people "enjoy the avenue (they) are paving." Raggio! teaches this philosophy to his students, who range from 5 years old to adult. His love for living and his lust for art portrays itself in his work and in his students' works. Not all of Raggio's! art includes clay. One work is a large white piece of wood with a black wooden stand holding three shapes of different colors. The shapes are round, square and triangular; together they look like a rocket ready for launch with blue, yellow and red colors. The blue, red and yellow colors are also splashed on the white background, while the three shapes "break away" from the black stand. Raggio! calls this piece his "Primary TakeOff." His belief that one has to detach oneself from convention in order to enjoy the freedom of art is reflected in A clay sculpture adorns Raggio's studio (top) while Christo's umbrellas line the grapevine (above, left). this work. The colors break free from the black base and shoot upwards toward creativity and away from mediocrity. Raggio's favorite medium is clay. It moves, molds and shapes to his desires. Within his backyard he has large ceramic figures displayed in a circular pattern. These works come in different stages of his experimentations with clay. Some sculptures are coils of clay, some are loosely-shaped figures of w omen, s ome h ave c reative texturization. Raggio's! creations are his life. He calls them his "flowing forms" and he "lives as clean as he does." Raggio! SEE RAGGIOS/PAGE B6 photos by KEN BAURMBSTER and DEBBIE DUFFY/PIONEER Umbrellas' brings attention to nature K EN B AURMEISTER/PI O N EER It's Christo time! The French artist's current project "Umbrellas" consists of 3,100 blue and yellow umbrellas, erected in Japan and California simultaneously. Each umbrella stands 20 feet tall and weighs 488 pounds. Every time the art project is mentioned somebody would inadvertently come up with a brilliant "why?" and thousands of ways the $26 million cost of the project could be better spent. "Why not feed and/or help the poor" was the favorite response. What people do not realize is that Christo is exactly doing that. He is helping the people poor in openmindedness by feeding them something for which they have absolutely no capacity ofdigesting. He is showing that the human eye will eventually get so accustomed to a bridge, building, river gorge, islands, or rolling hills that it turns blind. In Paris he wrapped Pont Neuf, a bridge spanning the river Seine, in pink cloth and rope. Christo wrapped something the Parisians were so used to as not to take any notice anymore. SEE CHRISTO/PAGE B6 �B6 P IONEER /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 9, 1991 ACCENT CHRISTO RAGGIO! CONTINUED FROM PAGE B5 CONTINUED FROM PAGE B5 * All they saw was something in the shape of the bridge, but not the bridge itself. After removing the wrap, Parisians started to notice the bridge again. After all, it was the bridge that Christo took away from them for three weeks. The same motives generated the inspiration for "Umbrellas." I have driven the Grapevine often, and I realized after seeing the 1,760 yellow umbrellas how "blind" I became to the beautiful countryside. Changing the landscape so dramatically with those umbrellas is more powerful than hiding i t With something hidden, the memory of the original is not distorted. With the original distorted and in plain view, one cannot remember what the unmanipulated version looked like. The next time I drive across the Grapevine without the umbrellas will be a new experience. I will see a new landscape. The "Umbrellas" project's gigantic and timed scope parallels its eyeopening mission. The project takes place in the western, as well as the eastern hemispheres. Even the Hubble space telescope looking through apair of binoculars could see only half of the project at a time. Driving through the project, only about a quarter is actually visible. Christo used 1,760 umbrellas in California - as many yards there are in a mile. The Japanese segment is 75 north of Tokyo. Here they are 60 north of Los Angeles. Each segment's separation equals 16 time zones, Christo oversaw the umbrellas' unfurling on the same calender day and time. Tokyo is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles; Christo simply opened the umbrellas in the early morning in Japan, flew to L.A. and opened the parasols here exactly the same time as in Japan. The coordination and planning of this little time-zone play was perfect For about IS miles {he umbrellas DISCOUNT JUR FARES AROUND THE WORLD & ACROSS THE USA! teaches that life and art are not so far apart We need academics, but we also need our brains to create. He believes that everyone must learn to use both parts of the brain in order to understand that life does not have to be perfect, but loved. Raggio! woks with an after-school art program in San Diego to show children that art does not have to be perfect, but that they "have to learn to use their own personal computers." He is called the "clay man" in the program. He also is having a one-man show named "Breaking Through" on the first Saturday in February at the Art Site Gallery in San Diego. Raggio's! gallery and studio are located at 3630 California Street, San Diego. His love for art and his outlook on life are stepping stones away from a world of symmetrical conformity. dot the landscape in a seemingly entropic order. Some are so far away, as to be only ochre points on ridges; others cast yellowish shadows on the freeway because they are mounted on overpasses. One area of the "Umbrellas" meandered through a cow and horse pasture. Under one large oak tree a dozen or so cows enjoyed the shade, contently chewing their cud, completely ignoring the symmetrical shadow cast by the umbrellas. Wherever umbrellas stand close to parking areas, visitors congregate under them, enjoying picnics. It seems all enjoy the environmental art. I enjoy it too. Not only am I thoroughly impressed by the "Umbrellas," I also came up with an answer for all those critics and their favorite "why" question. Because! Art does not need a rational, art may exist for art's sake. So what if it costs $26 million. It is Christo's money, and he can do with it what he wants. We have to encourage this type of "outside thinking." We can't afford not to.

Maybe I like them so much because they illustrate humankind's neverending battle with death; where the dead e scape t he b ounds of t he netherworld to seek out and consume the life from the living. Unlike vampirefilms,where death is glamorized and given graceful, composed elegance, zombie films depict death as ghoulish, clumsy and decomposed. Death is represented as a mindless, plodding state of .hunger. Perhaps I like zombie movies because I have dated so many similar creatures. Notice how the behavior of most males at World Series time identically emulates the behavior of the undead. I have never seen a zombie movie thatratesparticularly high in the acting category. The majority of the players are extras painted over in wraithish white or ghoulish green who are instructed to amble about clumsily in search of human flesh.

Beginning with 'Night of the Living Dead' in 1968 and ending with 'Day of the Dead' in 1985, Romero established himself as the chief purveyor of zombie lore. His trilogy explored the aspects of interplay between the dead and the living as no other ' B' horror films have. When Romero made 'Night of the Living D ead' he was a Hollywood nobody with a tight budget Even though color film was available, Romero chose black and white film because of its cheaper price and its natural eerie contrast. The film centers around seven survivors trapped in a country house (the owners had been eaten) while minions of zombies pound on the doors, walls and windows eager for a hot meal.

What really sets the movie above all others of its genre is Romero's continual use of irony .In at least three key plot spots, the director uses ironic situations to confirm that reason and sanity will never be sufficient shields against death. Romero's use of irony is always surprising and often the c atalyst f or a nervous chuckle. T he m ovie's best part comes when the ghouls munch on t he liver and intestines of an unfortunate victim. One zombie is even shown gnawing on a detached hand. If you thought 'Night of the Living Dead' was gruesome, wait till you get a load of 'Dawn of the Dead'. This 1979 sequel came to the screen 11 years after the first film and is easily the most fun in the series.

But in a zombie movie, who the hell cares about moral debates? We want blood and guts. Romero spends too much time with overblown talk and not enough time with action. I found myself wishing in vain for a zombie to jump out of the shadows and grab a survivor. Our resident mad scientist trains one zombie, Bub, to suppress his urge to eat people. The zombie is even able to use a gun and play a Walkman. One of the movie's highlights has Bub cruising the hallways like a 'High Noon* Gary Cooper with six-gun in hand. The ghouls themselves are drooling, oozing masterpieces of make-up special effects. Unlike the other two C omedy films, they look as if they are actually rotting. Unfortunately, these ghouls don't get much chance to roam until the end of the movie. My favorite scenes are when a zombie tears off the legs of a military man and when a disemboweled ghoul's guts fall to the floor when he tries to walk. If you do decide to rent Romero's living dead trilogy for Halloween, watch them with the lights on and make sure your snacking foods aren't soft and squishy. I give Romero's Living dead trilogy five blood-curdling screams. With such classics as 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Day of the Dead', you can't go unseated. Now You Can...

This year they planted over 40 acres of the "Big Mac" pumpkins and have imported more than 240,000 pounds of the jack-o-lantern variety of pumpkin. Every school day from the first of October to Halloween, 600 to 1,000 school children romp through the fields picking out their favorite pumpkins. Most of these _ _ _ students are from pre-school to third grade. Each of them gets a great jack-o-lantern pumpkin for only $2 (The general public is charged $2.25 for the regular pumpkin and 20 cents a pound for the "Big Macs"). Not only school children enjoy picking out their pumpkins, but so does mosteveryoneelse. Seniors stroll the fields helping their grandchildren and reminiscing about the pumpkins they used to grow.

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

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

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

With such a facility, we will have permanent offices as well as club and activity rooms, our own food services with our own hours, our own bookstore to fulfill our own needs, and many more services, which the students deem necessary.

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

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

That doesn't stop the Gaslamp Theater from telling a story of a mother and daughter, a production that goes further than just the story line. Molly and Maze" runs through O ct 25 at the Hahn Cosmopolitan Theatre located in the Gaslamp Quarter. This delightful comedy portrays mother and daughter exploring the bonds that hold the two together and the challenge of letting go. Actress and comedienne Lotus Weinstock stars in "Molly and Maze," a play she wrote. Weinstock describes her work as a loving and bittersweet story of a mother who questions her ability to make a difference — and her daughter's efforts to help restore her energy and inspiration. Weinstock is a veteran to her work. In comedy clubs and theaters around the country, Weinstock's brand of comedy has been a major hit. She has also been featured in television shows such as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law." In the play, the daughter is played by Weinstock's daughter, making the production an even greater success. Lili Haydn rounds out the two-person cast. Haydn shares the theatrical talents of her mother and adds some musical elements of her own. She has been featured in " It's A Living," "Hart to Hart" and " St Elsewhere" on television; her film credits include Rodney Dangerfield's daughter in "Easy Money." Shows for "Molly and Maze" run Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Call 234-9583. chool Specials from M@bil 'i r 1 FREE EXPRESS CAR WASH with MINIMUM $5.00 GAS PURCHASE r FREE 32 oz FOUNTAIN DRINK II with PURCHASE o la SANDWICH \ and a BAG OF CHIPS II EXPIRES 9-30-92 EXPIRES 9-30-92 lïfll» 1290 W.

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

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

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

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

Chancellor recommends speed-up of development L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER A speed-up in the development of Cal State San Marcos' new campus may provide an avenue to limit enrollment at the overcrowded, budgetstricken San Diego State University, said the CSU's new chief. "What I would like to do is accelerate the development," CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz told reporters Thursday. "Because i t's new, because its needs are so g reat... this (campus) has to be a priority for the state." M unitz, w ho w as v isiting CSUSM's permanent campus construction site off Twin Oaks Valley Road, said he would like to accelerate the project to provide faster relief for SDSU. As a result of $19.8 million in budget cuts to SDSU, the campus cut 662classes this fall. Thecutsprompted SDSU to "seriously downsize" the enrollment at its North County campus facility, located at the current CSUSM campus. The 10 percent budget cuts have moved SDSU President Thomas Day to seek methods to reduce his college's population to balance with the decreased faculty and offerings at the southern campus. 'What I would like to do is accelerate the development. Because it's new, because its needs are so great... this campus has to be a priorityforthe state.' B ARRY M UNITZ/CSU C HANCELLOR Munitz agreed with Day that additional admissions controls are necessary to lower enrollment at SDSU. With over32,000students, SDSU has an enrollment I2percent to ISpercent higher than it can properly handle. The problems facing SDSU are shared by 18 of the CSU systems 19 other campuses. According to Munitz, half of allCSUcampuses have already closed enrollment for the spring semester. He said he expects most colleges to close fall 1992 enrollment early as well. Munitz said he wanted to see if the CSUSM campus "is in sound enough shape" to carry a SDSU spill-over. In November, Munitz plans on meeting with Day and CSUSM President Bill Stacy to consider the impact of SDSU students on the infant campus. "We clearly cannot make a magnificent and major shift in a 12 month period," Munitz said. He indicated that the increased SDSU enrollment at CSUSM would not curtail the transfer Of students from community colleges and high schools. Even without the enrollment impaction at SDSU, Munitz stated that a four-year C SU campus in North County is needed. "The key question for us will be, how fast can the state of California afford to build buildings?" added Stacy. "The students are here - demand is here. I t's j ust how fast can we house them." Munitz, who stepped into his posiSEE D EVELOP /PAGE A4 Business dean search extended to attract minorities and women J OHATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Cal State San Marcos has r eopened a search to find a permanent College of Business Administration Dean citing the lack of enthusiasm with the original candidates and no minority representatives. Richard Millman, Academic Vice President, announced to the college community in July that he has extended the search until Oct. 15. "None of the final candidates has unanimous support of all the constituents," Millman said. He cited the precedent of other administrative positions being filled by a unanimous decision from the CSUSM community. "While there were three candidates brought forward who were 'acceptable* by the committee, there were reservations about each of them by either the committee or me," Millman wrote in a letter to the faculty. "When I looked at the pool of candidates, there were very few minorities and no women," he said. Millman approximated that only three of four were minorities. "For faculty positions, it is important for us to have a diverse pool of applicants," Millman's letter stated. "For senior administrative positions, it is mandatory." A portion of an advertisement for the positions states, "Candidates should have acommitment to cultural diversity, equal opportunity and affirmative action." Currently, CSUSM surpasses both CSU and nationwide ratiosof minority faculty members. I n the first search, a Search Committee sorted approximately 40 applicants. A long process then starts as applicants are prioritized and possible candidates are interviewed. Millman makes the recommendation to CSUSM BiU Stacy on the final decision of who to hire. Millman could make no comment on how the search is proceeding since the closing date is next month. He did say he would like the procedures to move quickly, but that depends on how many applications are received. Millman's goal is to have a new dean by the beginning of the year. " We're shooting for Jan. 1 to get a new dean hired," he said. The final three candidates have been asked if they would like to continue. The acting dean, Bernard Hinton, is one of the three candidates. "There is no question in my mind that whoever the new dean is, we will have a highly qualified individual," Millman said. �A4 P IONEER/TUESDAY.

He said that shortfalls in the CSU operations budget will have no effect on the current construction. Funding for campus construction is attained through state bond issues. L ast N ovember v oters r ejected Proposition 143, a $450 million bond issue which would have provided funds for construction and improvements in the state's system of higher education. "Losing that last bond issue was a major blow for this campus," said Munitz. Proposition 143 would have funneled $10 million to CSUSM for the acquisition of library books and furniture for the permanent campus. Munitz said another bond issue supported by Senators Tom Hayden and Gary Hart will be placed before the voters in June. "If the bonds don't pass, we c an't continue," said Munitz. In the meantime, Munitz pledged to fight for a greater share of state money in budget discussions to be held later this year. "Our goal will be, whatever the pie is, to get a larger slice of it for higher education and CSU," he said.

President Jose Chapman in a statement to Pioneer. Last semester, students narrowly passed a measure to assess a $15 A.S. membership fee, but without the enabling measure the new governing body was not able to collect the allowance. In order to bring financial solvency to the newly formed A.S., the Council appealed to theUniversity Foundation f or help. The Foundation responded with a loan of $12,920 to be repaid over the next three semesters. Without the passing of theenabling measure on October'sballot, the A.S. will be hard-pressed to repay the loan on schedule. "The A.S. needs a true basis of support," said Vice President of StudentServicesErnestZomalt. "Itneeds a steady revenue from the student body." Zomalt said if the measure does not pass, the A.S. will be forced to reassess its scale of activities. He said the organization would not have the ability to support clubs, organizations and student-run publications. The A.S. budget would need to be reduced, thereby decreasing its activities in campus and inter-collegiate events. If the enabling measure fails in the fall election, Zomalt said the issue will once again be placed before the students. "If spring brings a 'no* vote, we'll have to see if students are supportive of a governmental structure," he said. Even though the fee measure itself passed last semester, Zomalt said it was the judgement of the Council to reintroduce the act to the students. "These are full disclosure elections," he said. Zomalt said the $15 fee on the upcoming ballot is a "fair amount" that should be sufficient to support the present governmental structure. Monies garnered from the membership fee should finance the spring semester's budget as well as give the A.S. amode to repay the Foundation's loan. A third ballot measure would allow the A.S. to establish andaward student government scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other "remunerations for the A.S. officers and council members for services rendered to the A.S." In addition to the fee measures, students will have the opportunity to elect three positions in the A.S. Council which became open after members left their posts. Post-BaccalaureateRepresentative at Large, David Hammond and College of Education Representative, Heliana Ramirez, left openings when they decided to attend other universities. Tracy Barfthill, the undergraduate representative at large vacated her position due to time commitments. Even though the A.S. has the constitutional authority to appoint those positions, it elected to leave the d ecision to the student populace on the upcoming ballot. "There's a lot of time and energy used to put together an election," said Z omalt "Since we already have one* coming, the A.S. thought it best to open the decision to the students." Zomalt said Student Services is hoping to do a candidate forum after hopefuls apply to the position. Students interested in A.S. candidacy can pick up applications in the Student Services Office in Building 125. New and continuing students are encouraged to apply. Deadline is 5 p.m. S ept 23.

CSU's21stcampuswillbebuilt in a Ventura County lemon grove, the320-acre Chaffee/Duntley site, and begin classes by the later part of this decade as a two-year university. With a 14-1 vote, the CSU trustees capped a five-year search by approving the site between Camarillo and Oxnard next to a California Youth Authority prison, said CSU spokesperson Colleen Bentley-Adler. The selected site will now be forwarded to the state Public Woiks Board for approval and acquisition of the property. The land must be purchased within the $6 million budget that remains after spending $1 million on an environmental study to evaluate available sites. "We'veexpendedalot of effort, time and a lot of money on this site," said Trustee Anthony M. Viti, chairman of the site selection committee. The two other sites considered include the Donlon site, 310 acres east of Oxnard, and the Sudden Ranch site, 250 acres in east Ventura. The chosen property is owned by Sakioka Farms and Mosheni Ranchers. The initial phase of construction would be a two-year campus to serve 2,000juniors, seniors and graduate students by the end of the century, Bentley-Adler said. Cal State San Marcos currently operates with the same organization. Conversion to a 15,000-student full-service university would occur between 2010-20. SERVE C OPIES Library gets $2.2 million for book acquisition plan Worries of how to gain funds to fill Cal State San Marcos' future library with books were put at ease this summer when college officials successfully rallied for support in Sacramento. Now the CSUSM library is faced with a new dilemma - where to store thousands of boxes of books until the new facility is ready in 1992. With thefailureof Proposition 143 last spring, officials at CSUSM found themselves with a $2.2 million shortfall for the acquisition of books to fill the permanent campus* library. To help alleviate pressures created by the failed proposition, presidents from each of CSU's 20 campuses appealed to the Chancellor's Office in spring to save important lost projects that were in dangerofbeing eliminated due to lack of funds. The President's Council listed top priority projects for each campus. The chancellor then sought funding for the projects from the state legislature. One of CSUSM's top priority projects was the second half of the library book acquisition plan. After approval of the projects from acting chancellor Ellis McCune, requests were placed before the state legislature in June. CSUSM Executive Vice President Richard Rush went to Sacramento rf§ IMPROVE 'We listed several priorities. This is the one item we got. We didn't get approval for the rest of the constructionrelated items, You can't have a great university without a great library' RICHARD RUSH/EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT during the legislature's review of the requests in case questions arose. He left with the go-ahead for $2.216 million in library funds. "We listed several priorities," said Rush. "This is the one item we got. We didn't get approval for the rest of the construction-related items." Last year, $2.1 million came in October for the first half of the book acquisition project. With the second allotment of funds, CSUSM should be able to build a sizeable core collection for the new campus. "It may sound like a large figure, but it isn't in terms of 'starting an opening day collection," said Marion Reid, library director. According to Reid, the average cost for a domestic tide is $46 per book. Reference books, science and art titles usually run more. After the permanent campus off Twin Oaks Valley Road opens in fall, Reid said an 80,000-book collection YOUR GRADES! - by having your term papers, theses, and assignments professionally word processed!

Reid said the library will be larger than those at UCSD and SDSU. At the end of June, Reid said CSUSM had already acquired 43,000 titles. "We don't have a place to put them on campus," said Reid. Currently, many of the books are being stored in Eckerts Storage until a more suitable location can be found. Reid said she is looking for some way to move the library operations before Craven Hall opens. The library has already expanded its holding power by shelving books on the east end of the library where periodicals were held last semester. Thousands more are shelved in a room adjacent to the Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. Thelibrary'sstaff continually sorts through the boxes of books to make as many available to students as possible, but the process is a tedious one. During the summer, local high school students were enlisted to help unpack books and check for numbers. Each book must be logged on the library's computer system. Scanning strips are also being placed on each book in preparation for the upcoming automated system. Reid said the library does not plan on being up and running in Craven Hall if the campus opens next fall. Before that can occur, shelving must be seismically safe, security systems need installing and computer systems must be running. Rush said the library plans received good support in Sacramento. "You can't have a great univcrsit> without a great library," he said. �University prides itself on abundance of cultural events As a member of Pioneer, I frequently hear two words. One phrase is "money" - also sometimes referred to as a budget. This is because the state of California and the national has a debt much larger than my Master Card bill. Fortunately, Cal State San Marcos hasn't felt the shock waves of the budget problems as other campus have. The other term heard around campus is "culture." With global awareness and cultural diversity running rampant in our society, I 'm not surprised of the many comments I come across. And comparing these two words, I prefer the latter. This week is a perfect week to get a little culture. In celebration of Mexico!s independence from Spain, CSUSM is hosting a series of noon-time concerts this week. The concerts are a followup to the Fiestas Patrias celebration that the university participated in over the weekend. If you missed yesterday's performance, Miguel Lopez will play the Vera Cruz harp today. Mosaico performs Wednesday and Es O Es, a 10 piece Latin j azz band is going to make a great finale to the week on Thursday. Each performance is held in the Student Lounge at noon. Two upcoming cultural events will be just as exciting. A Javanese/Balinese gam elan ensemble will perform in the Student Lounge at noon on S ept 30. I recently have been introduced to this music and find it very fascinating. Mark your calendars for O ct 27. The university will host the First CSUSM International Festival. This CAMPUS BEAT BY J O N A T H A N YOUNG v utt omc ^ i^H-^. event has been a year's planning and is sure to rival the American Indian Cultural Fair in attendance. It will held here on campus from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Three pre-festival concerts are also planned on Oct. 2 1,22 and 23 at noon in the Student Lounge. • In my last column, I wrote about the Boxer Rebellion day held over the summer for the Faculty and Staff. One person was identified incorrectly. My excuse was the purpose of the theme day itself. Margaret Rail wore a cardboard box that day, not Marsha Woolf. Under deadline pressure, I had forgotten her name. At the time, I felt I was being a responsible journalist by checking where her office is (I remembered that) with a detailed map of the moved office?. However, Margaret moved along with everyone else over the summer and no longer worked where she did the previous semester. The theme day was to keep everyone sane while the university was rearranged, but it sure confused this writer. My apologizes to Margaret and Marsha for the mix up and a big sorry to Bob Rail, who came up with the box idea. CSU campuses ranked top in gifts Five California State University campuses are among the top 10 of public comprehensive universities nationwide in total amount of private gifts received in 1990. Among 151 universities surveyed, four CSU campuses led the nation: San Diego StateUniversity with $10.8 million; CSU Long Beach with $ 10.6 million; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with $10.4 million; and CSU Fullerton with $7.9 million. San Jose State University ranked eighth with $5.2 million. Cal State San Marcos brought in $498,712 in total gifts. $170,514 is restricted funds and is to be used for specific purposes such as scholarships, grants or endowments. $129,500 was in equipment. The remaining sum of $198,698 is unrestricted. If the total gifts of all CSU campuses were combined, CSU would account for 30 percent of the total of the 151 universities, according to Bob Maners, C SU's executive director of development "These national rankings are imSEE GIFTS/PAGE A9 D eople Go To College To Improve Their Resumes.

TO VOTE �P IONEER /TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1991 Ballot measure would fortify student voice A funny thing happened last semester on the way to the voting booths. Students at Cal State San Marcos decided it was time for the formation of an Associated Students and the establishment of a $ 15 membership fee, but felt the student government shouldn' t be able to collect its newly approved fee. The downfall of the measure allowing the A.S. to collect fees is probably due to s emantics. The wording for the measure came directly out of T itle 5 (that governmental d ocument STAFF EDITORIAL which dietates how university student governments are supposed to operate). Anybody who has ever read a political document knows that governmentalese is a difficult and sometimes impossible language to decipher. All the measure asked was that students give their governing body permission to collect fees voted in by the students. The voting populace could have voted a 10-cent fee, but without the enabling measure the effort would have been for naught But students were intimidated by the measures ambiguous phraseology. Some thought it would have given the A.S. the power to impose student fees at a whim. Others thought that voting in a fee of $15 was good enough. Not so. The enabling measure is the metaphorical donkey before the cart. The student fee measure is the cart itself. If any distance is to be gained, both must be approved. On Oct. 7 and 8, students once again have the opportunity to give the A.S. a financial vehicle. Since the A.S. is now operating on borrowed money, a steady source of income through student fees is essential. Without student fees, club formation will be hindered, campus events will be limited and student representation will be squelched. Since we don't have the luxury of enjoying a fully stocked campus, the least we can give ourselves is a financially sound student voice. The recession has pinched all of our wallets, but we cannot let it pinch our priorities as well. We owe it to ourselves and future students to vote "yes" for both Measure A and Measure B on next month's ballot. If "no" wins in the vote then the entire distance travelled by the students to gain a voice will be lost. OUR V IEWS R acial sensitivity is essential At one time I saw people as butterflies. It was a naively metaphorical way at looking at things, but with my simple association I could equate each person's differences with a representation of unique beauty. My simple simile could not have been more inconect. It began at my place of employment several weeks ago when a working associate of mine was accosted by a customer. My friend was a butterfly of a different color. Some would call him "African American" while others of politically correct mindsets might refer to him as a "Person of Color." To the malicious customer, he was a "nigger." The word was spoken brazenly and, when combined with nasty expletives, made a terrible hiss across the storefront. I felt immediate anger, pain and shame that one human being could treat another of equal mind and equal soul with such unequivocal lack of compassion. Yet, I could not even begin to imagine the intensity of pain my friend felt as words turned to a poison which shriveled up his composure and unleashed years of hidden anguish. His only intent was on the destruction of his tormentor. I attempted to hold my friend back as I tried to rationalize the events at hand, but I honestly had never seen such a voracious verbal assault. It was as if I had been in a cocoon, only to break out and find that the world was not a place of butterflies, but of dragonflies. Never in my 30 years had I heard first-hand one human call another such a terrible thing. I was angry at the white trash who uttered those words and angrier still at the pain he inflicted, but most of all I was angry at myself for being part of a society that for years had kept my middle-class eyes from seeing it all along. LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As a university for the 21st century, Cai State San Marcos has forged a commitment to racial sensitivity with its Mission Statement. T his commitment must not be taken lightly. In the beginning the statement itself seemed to me to reek of overblown Politically Correct rhetoric. It appeared that the university was just tossing another turnip on the bandwagon as it passed through. I honestly didn't see the need to formally state an understanding of others that should be humanly inherent. With the event at my workplace last month, I realized that the only humanly inherent consistency is inconsideration. We are all inconsiderate whenever we flippantly toss off a racial joke or propagate a stereotype. We are all inconsiderate when we believe that the person sitting next to us is inferior in any way due to race, sex or religion. Mostly, we are all inconsiderate when we don't educate those around us that all people are created equal. Without global awareness in education, there is little hope of attaining a society where equality and not prejudice is paramount. Who knows, with education, maybe even the ugly American that confronted my friend can see the world as a place of butterflies. �Hassan's hermeneutics lecture sparks deeper cultural insight PIONEER Gal State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Elaine Whaley, Wendy Williams CONTRIBUTORS: Kim Courtney, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Quite frankly, most of us students who attended Wednesday's lecture by Vilas Research Professor Ihab Hassan were there out of respect for our professors. They were excited and so our interest was piqued. But we were iritimidated. Most of us didn't expect a lecture with a title like 'Aspects of Mijlticulturalism and Literary Theory' to be even marginally comprehensible, much less to be something which would cause a ripple of discussions to eddy around the shores of our learning community. We were surprised and delighted and our perspectives were enlarged by this warmly personable man. Hermeneutics, Hassan tells us, is the science of interpretation, of understanding between cultures. In an era pf ever-expanding global communications and economic interdependence, it is crucial for society as a whole to develop tolerance for ideologies a nd cultural mores which differ from our own. Hermeneutics is the grease between these wheels. Paradoxically, while the world is engaged in a process of economic intermarriage, in many areas, we are also in the process of redefining allegiances to our ethnicity. The Eastern block countries were Hassan's obvious example of^ these dual processes of Globalization and Retribution. But, we at Cal State San Marcos, as a community committed to cultural diversity can also be included in this paradigm. The big question Hassan addresses is this: How can we make these transitions smoothly? Hassan beheves that crucial to these discussions is the question of ideological differences. He says that we can take three approaches to differences: 1. To preserve them. 2. To overcome them. 3. To negotiate them away. It is then, the province of hermeneutics to define these differences and to decide how to approach them globally. Professor Hassan quoted a passage from an essay by Jun'ichiro Tanazaki, In Praise of Shadows, in which the author laments the passage of traditional Japanese values, while he recognizes the painful inevitability of progress. The essay makes the point that, while traditional values might have to give way in many areas, in literature and the arts they may possibly be preserved (Dr. Mendoza's students were smugly relieved they had read Tanazaki). So, how are we as individuals to profit from the visit of £rofessor Hassan? How are we to manage our own multicultural identity here at CSUSM? Our Mission Statement is clear. We cannot duck these issues. Hassan believes that some aspects of literary theory can be useful in this context. He suggests that, although at its most useless, literary theory is nothing more than a "self-delighting game of the mind." At its best it is "a process of interrogation — a sustained, systematic way of questioning, a way of avoiding dogma." According to Hassan, avoiding dogma is the key to avoiding conflict. He developed this idea of philosophical pragmatism further, but ended by countering with the idea that man cannot live by questioning alone. Even as we guard against the formation of dogma, we need our roots as sources of "spiritual food." Tanazaki tells u s,".;. that there might still be somewhere, possibly in literature or the arts, where something could be saved." It seems incredibly timely to be on the eve of the first International Multicultural Festival staged by our university. It will give us all a chance to see cultural hermeneutics at work.

A THOUGHT; "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really go<59 at heart." ANNE FRANK Angry student recounts registration woes I am a student at Cal State San Marcos and would like to let you know how I feel about the fall 1991 registration process. To begin, I attended this university in the fall 1990 semester and took the spring 1991 semester off to return t o a junior college to fulfill requirements that CSUSM said I needed (and could get only at a junior college). The people in the Admissions Office told me that I would not have to reapply and that I would receive registration materials for fall 1991 automatically and in plenty of time. I did not receive any registration information from CSUSM until three weeks before the semester started. I had been calling since May to make sure I would not be forgotten and was always told that, "something would be in the mail soon." Again, nothing came until three weeks before school started. During these last few weeks I again called and an admissions representative said that the CSUSMadministration did not think that people in my situation would be returning because of Desert Storm, etc. Therefore, sending out letters would be a waste of money. I just wish that I would have received this answer in the first place instead of being lied to all along. They also told me that I would be in the last group to register. This meant that the new students registered before me. I was told that this would not happen. By the time I registered three YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM out of four class choices were closed. I can understand classes being closed, but I cannot comprehend why I was told that I would enroll in plenty of time and would not have trouble getting the classes I needed. Here I was, a continuing student, registering after the new students. I realize that budget cuts have made operations strained for the CSU system, but I think that fairness in registration practices should not be sacrificed! In the future, I hope that students in my situation will not be the last people to register nor have to wait until practically the last day to enroll. This practice is unfair and fosters animosity towards CSUSM. This letter is submitted on behalf of the approximately 60 students who faced the same situation.

Primitive ritual becomes latest daredevil craze M i I s this something I really want to do," asks 30-year-old Stanford Easley of San Diego. His hesitation is not surprising considering his tentative perch on the edge of a balloon basket nearly 200 feet above this secluded Rancho Penasquitos valley. For Easley and the two dozen other men and women waiting their turn in the field below, this hot-air balloon ascent is a test. More accurately, it is the thought of the free-fall descent that tests one's nerve, sanity or both. This group has gathered more than an hour before sunrise because the sport of bungee jumping provides what many other pastimes lack by comparison: one crystal clear moment of truth. For these jumpers the arrival of that moment is signaled by pilot Rick Armstrong's huge hand grabbing the back of their chest harness. Gone is the swaggering bravado most exhibited in the chill early morning air. As they struggle to hoist their legs over the side, of the balloon's wicker basket they are acutely aware that pride, if nothing else, says there is only one way down. The crowd below counts down in unison "five.. .four.. .three.. .two.. .one," and then hoots and hollers its encouragement In the blink of an eye Easley is gone, falling unrestrained, only to bounce and swing like a rag-doll seconds later at the end of the 50-foot-long bungee cords. R u s s A rmstrong, a 2 7-year-old e xfirefighter who helped found Boing Bungee* knows all too well the hesitation felt by his nervous clients. His white-knuckle introduction to the sport taught him a lesson he tries to impart in his early morning briefing. "If you think about it, it gets harder. I t's better to get yourself pumped up and just go up and do it," he tells his attentive audience. Jumpers are placed in order according to weight and begin mentally preparing themselves as the 80-foot tall balloon is inflated. "With this, you d on't just get the adrenaline rush dumping yourself out of the basket," Russ explains. "Getting fitted for the harness sometimes does it. Some people get excited watching the balloon being inflated." Jumpers will M l nearly 100 feet after leaving the basket. ' The bungee cords are 50 feet long and there's another 12 feet of rigging," says Russ. The giant rubber bands will stretch another 20 to 35 feet before the first rebound. Russ claims the bungee's effect is not harsh, but instead is more like a "rapid deceleration" that bounces the jumper back to about 80 percent of the original free-fall height "Most people claim the second free fall gives them the biggest thrill—sort of like the second dip of a double-dip roller coaster, you're ready for it and you kind of know what to expect," he says. Far from the daredevil image the mention of the sport evokes, Boing Bungee's jumpers come in all shapes and sizes. "Our oldest was 63 and he had a blast," Russ says. Broad weight requirements (a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 300 pounds) mean the experience is open to almost everyone. The company will even waive the minimum age of 18 if the minor's parents are present to sign and videotape the standard release statement The popular machismo stereotype also holds that this sport separates the men from the boys. From his experience, Russ believes that, more accurately, bungee jumping separates the men from the women. The average morning's jump roster is filled with nearly even numbers of both sexes and there is a definite pattern to how each approaches the experience. " It's interesting," Russ says, "the women seem to be the more aggressive jumpers, they show more style. The guys are out there to prove something, but the women are out there because they really want to jump." In fact, evidence suggests the experience may actually be more traumatic for manly types. "My sister videotapes all the jumps so she gets to see these facial expressions. She says the terror that some guys have on their faces is just incredible," Russ laughs. But then this is not a recreation for the faint of h eart Neither is it a sport where the participants are bound by logic. Just ask 25year-old Cheryl Simon of Los Angeles who traveled several hours in the pre-dawn darkness with her brother to be here this morning. Before her jump, Simon nervously explained her motivation. "I wanted to do this because I 'm a crazy person. I love to scare myself." Back on the ground after hurling her fate and body to the winds, Simon's weak knees struggled to support her. Her review of the experience highlights the sport's inherent contradictions. "I was hatin' it the whole way down. It was terrific.". F o r the young men of Pentecost Island in the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, 'land diving' is an annual ritual that is said to be both a test of a man's courage and a way to ensure a plentiful yam harvest Each spring the men of the island gather liana vines and braid them into long cords.

Jumping from a balloon: more than 'macho thing' "Are you sure this isn't a macho thing?" my wife asked me. "Aw, c'mon honey. You know I 'm not the macho type," I replied. Somewhere in our wedding vows between the words love, honor and cherish was the phrase 'do you promise to give up watching or participating in baseball, golf, boxing, football and other macho things?' "You know i t's for the newspaper," I countered. "I think you have a death wish. Where does it say that a reporter has to jump from a hot-air balloon tied to a rubber band?" " It's not a rubber band. I t's a bungee cord." "Bungee cords hold books on bicycle racks not people from balloons," she parried. Of all the thrill-seeking activities I 've attempted, bungee cording took the most getting used to. Not only did I have to face the very real possibility that I might die if something wrong occurred, I had to persuade my wife that I wasn't experiencing some kind of premature testosterone-induced mid-life crisis. She finally gave her consent for the venture when I agreed to open a life insurance policy. mm 1 I I M Jl A MM 0 JF Jf mWW SEEKERS BY L ARRY BOISJOLIE After the insurance agent drafted up a contract which would award my wife and upcoming child enough money to bail out the nation's Savings and Loans companies in the event of my accidental death, I asked the fatal question. "Let's say I were to die while leaping from a hot-air balloon tied to a bungee cord. Would that qualify as 'accidental death?'" The insurance agent dropped the unsigned policy in the shredder. Nevertheless, at 4:45 on a Saturday morning I was ready to take my leap of faith. I 'd always heard that 'the early bird catches the worm.' If my tether broke the adage could be changed to 'the early bird smooshes the worm,' or perhaps, ' It's the early worm that gets got.' As I watched the 80-foot balloon inflate, I SEE TH Rl LL/PAGE B5 �J UMP CONTINUED FROM PAGE B2 plunge head first to within inches of the ground below. In 1979, members of Oxford University's Dangerous Sports Club learned about the natives' ritual and the sport of bungee jumping was born. Dressed in top hats and tails, club members took the first modern leap of faith from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. T wo of the sport's early enthusiasts, John and Peter Kockelman of Palo Alto, CA, left their jobs and opened the first commercial bungee operation in May of 1988. They offered customers the opportunity to jump clandestinely off many of the Sierra's river gorge bridges (an activity that is highly illegal, with stiff fines and even jail time awaiting those who are caught). Bungee jumping has become popular the world over with New Zealand rivaling the U.S. as the hotbed of the sport. A few daredevils have also popularized the sport in Europe where New Zealander A J. Hackett gave them a dramatic introduction by bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower several years ago. Bungee jumping from hot-air balloons is the latest evolution of the sport. While a violation of FAA regulations if done from free-flying balloons, California boasts a handful of legal balloon bungee jumping operations. Many new companies catering to thrill-seekers are springing up across the country every month. In Colorado's Clear Creek county, officials have j ust licensed a specially constructed 140-foot bungee jumping tower, the first of its kind in the nation. F o r Boing Bungee's Russ Armstrong, the idea of jumping out of a hot-air balloon seemed foolish. When brother Rick suggested the idea in November of 1990, he was met with a less than enthusiastic response. "1 about slammed the door in his face," remembers Russ, " I thought it was the craziest thing on the face of the earth." After a three-hour phone call between the brothers, some more extensive research, and several weeks of discussion, the family decided to pursue the idea and Russ was elected to try it out. But when the time came to jump on that first weekend of testing, the family's strapping 260-pound baby brother couldn't bring himself to leave the basket "I remember thinking 'this is ridiculous. In 19 years of ballooning I 've never left a balloon in flight,'" laughs Russ. His second attempt a week later was no easier. "We went out thé next weekend and I said 4I have to do this,"' Russ recalls. " I leaned out and I still couldn' t go. We sat there for 20 minutes." Finally Russ asked his brother for a gentle a ssist I was screamin' all the way down," Russ says. " I said, 'God please catch me. Make this w ork.'" T Trusting your life to an industrial strength rubber band is not something to be taken lightly. Last month in Norway a man plummeted 150 feet into a pool of water when his bungee cord snapped. Luckily he suffered no injuries. For Boing Bungee's Armstrong brothers, safety is the number one priority. "We go overboard for safety's sake. We looked at how other people were doing this and then we said,4how can we make this s afer,'" says Russ. He believes the many small innovations he and his brother have made to their balloon and equipment help make an inherently dangerous sport a lot safer. For starters, every piece of equipment used — from the smallest carabiner t o the 30,000pound crane rig used to secure the bungee cord to the balloon's basket — i s tested to hundreds of times the strain each jumper will place it under. Four oversized bungee cords, rated at 6,000 pounds each, are retired regularly and the specially modified and reinforced balloon basket and envelope are given a painstakingly thorough inspection every 100 hours. Unlike the more traditional method of securing jumpers by their ankles, Boing Bungee uses padded fire department rescue chest and seat harnesses to keep jumpers in a seated position. Specially made pads cover the cords and all related hardware against accidental contact The South Pacific islanders who originated the sport attempt to come within inches of the ground, but the Armstrongs prefer to take a more conservative approach. "The reason we go to a minimum of 150 feet (they usually average 170-200 feet) is f or that extra safety margin," Russ explains. Differences in weight decide how many of the four cords are used for each jumper, but more is not necessarily better. "Everyone jumps with at least two cords. If we used more than that f or a light person the shock would be too g reat I t'd be like hitting the end of an ordinary rope," says Russ. For everyone who doubts bungee j umping's safety, there is another who has questions about its legality. While the sport is illegal from bridges and free-flying balloons, Boing Bungee and a handful of other companies have found a way to o ffer this new thrill to the general public within the bounds of Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations. "The FAA works in strange ways," Russ says. "They have a lot of loopholes and gray areas." The key lies in the company's practice of using tethered balloons. Armstrong says that though the FAA hasn't issued a definite opinion on bungee jumping from balloons, he believes i t's only a matter of time. Russ and his brother are working closely with other reputable operators to demonstrate the high levels of safety possible in an otherwise dangerous s port The Original in San Diego County!

The fact that three workers of the ground crew had casts on various limbs didn't ease my churning stomach (I was told that all the injuries were incurred while handling the balloon and not while jumping). A guy in an arm cast strapped me in a harness that wrapped snugly around my chest and another that held my upper thighs and groin in check. I wasn't too concerned about the chest harness, but I couldn't stop imagining what a jolt to the iower harness might do to my family jewels. V After attaching the 50-foot bungee cord to my harness with a very sturdy metal gizmotron I climbed into the balloon and was ready to begin my ascent into hell. I closed my eyes for a second and then leaned over the side of the balloon basket and opened them. "Those people look like ants," I told balloonist Rick Armstrong. ' They are ants," he replied. "We haven't left the ground yet." The ride up was serenely terrifying. If not for the impending jump, it actually might have been fun. During the ascent, Armstrong reiterated the final safety tips. "Don't grab the bungee cord on your way down. Keep your arms out," he said. "Be sure to keep your legs together. You don't want the bungee cord to get in there."

What if the bungee cord breaks? What if the cord wraps around my neck? What if I don't remember to keep my legs together? I tried to erase all fear from my mind and, when we reached an altitude of 200 feet, I climbed precariously onto the edge of the b asket While sitting on the edge of the balloon basket listening to the crowd count down to my jump moment, I felt myself going through Elizabeth Kiibler-Ross's five stages of coping with death. " Five..." Denial: There is no way in hell I was going to jump from this balloon. Didn't somebody tell me this was a bird-watching expedition? • Tour..." Anger: Why did I spend $95 to do this! What was I thinking? Damn that premature testosterone-induced mid-life crisis! "Three." Bargaining: Maybe if I puke the balloon guy will take me back down. " Two..." Depression: I won't be able to have an open-casket funeral. " One..." Acceptance: Okay, so I 'm gonna die. I let go of the basket and started to fall. The feeling was like one of those dreams you have as a kid where you are plunging mercilessly down a cliff. I knew that if I hit the bottom all life as I knew it would cease to exist. About halfway down the realization of reality strikes. The only thing visible is the rapidly unfurling bungee cord and the hissing sky. My arms impulsively reached out to grab the cord, but my mind, fresh with Armstrong's warning, resisted the impulse. My falling body instinctively negotiated for position as I reached the end of the cord. I had begun in a sitting position, and was now sprawled out in a supine configuration. The first bounce came more quickly than I had expected and I was thankful my fillings stayed in place. I went from plummeting to my death to rocketing upward in a fraction of a m oment At this point all the fear-induced adrenaline was coursing wildly through my body and the excursion became like the best roller coaster ride ever invented with great B5 whoop-de-doos but no track. The upward motion was very similar to the upward motion of an elevator but without bodily control. In the course of only a few seconds my body went from upside down to sideways to upside down and back to right side up again. Once cognition arrives after the first bounce, the feeling of being a rag doll on the end of a yo-yo string is overpowering. There is no thrill like being tossed around in a tug of war between gravity and a rubber band. In just a few long seconds the ride was over. Only the thrill of eating a carne asada burrito from Albedos can compare with the adrenaline rush of bungee cording. As I was being lowered to the ground, I was painfully aware that I did not keep my legs together during the fall. Michael Jackson would have been envious of my newly expanded singing voice. Practiced bungee jumpers are able to do flips and twists at each bounce but for first-time jumpers, just being tossed around like a Caesar salad is plenty of fun. I 'm now collecting rubber bands in preparation for a big jump off the balcony but my wife can rest assured. It isn't a macho thing.

N o matter how hard he looked, the unfortunate Daggo could neverfindthe pizzaof his yearnings. Finally, a giant pizza pie in the sky with flashing pepperoni lights andagleaming cheesy hue lifted the unsatisfied lad from the Earth to a planet where pepperoni grows on trees and choice cheeses run in rivers through a crispy crust landscape. In the spirit of Daggo Seguie, we searched the supermarkets in a quest for the world's best frozen pizzas. For students and families that are on the go, few things are as tasty, quick and well balanced as a frozen pizza. On these incredible creations, one can find representatives of each food group. The crust makes up the bread group while the cheese satisfies the dairy requirement The veggies and meats, obviously,filltheir own important niches. Of course pizza also has the joy of that extra group known as the grease group. Knowing that many college students live on pizza and beer alone, we bypassed such médiocre fare as Totinos, Jenos and Celeste and honed in on some of the most unusual pizzas we could find. Each pizza was judged separately for its crust, cheeses, sauces and toppings. Each was rated on a scale of one to five pepperonis withfivebeing the maximum rating and one the lowest As a control for our experiment, we began with a Red Baron Special Deluxe Pizza. At 23.6 ounces it was almost double the size of the next largest pizza. With a price under $3, it was also the best value. Red Baron boasts a "Legwidary Crispy Crust" but we found this pizza's foundation to be the same old story of frozen pizza crusts. It was less crispy than all the others judged and had an uneventful flavor. Red Baron pizza sauce has about as much pizzazz as squished tomatoes. It was spread conservatively and lacked sufficient spice. In a dogfight with other pizzas over flavorful cheese, Red Baron gets shot down in a flash. The cheese tastes over-processed and lacks the m ~7PJ —7ffi~ (( OLLEGIATE (jjOURMET BY L ARRY BOISJOUE infamous Mozzarella stretch. It is with the toppings that Red Baron flies circles around other pizzas. The mushrooms had a juicy, freshly frozen appeal and the pepperoni slices were thick and intermingled with scrumptious chunks of sausage. Unfortunately these richly selected toppings are too sparse to be fully enjoyed. Red Baron Pizza barely gets off the ground with a one pepperoni rating. With better crust, sauce and cheese, Red Baron might have a chance of becoming a true pizza ace. /^/V We went to the store to buy a l l i l ® Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza but saw no woman with blonde hair and tight black jeans buying the last Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza. In fact, the shelves were packed with the hotly advertised product One reason for the abundance of Puck's pizzas could be the super-inflated price tag. Our 9.25-ounce Spago Original pizza costjust under $4 and was barely large enough for one serving. The Wolfman's original sourdough crust was too tough to be tasty.

These words clearly represent the photographs currently on display at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. A ptly n amed, " Camera a s , a Weapon: Worker Photography Between the Wars," these photographs illustrate the feelings that emanated throughout Europe between WWI and WWII. Most of t he photographs shown are from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, the Soviet Union and Italy. The photographers themselves were either part of the AIZ (Worker* s Illustrated News), w hich was a magazine for photographers, or Der Arbeiter-Fotograf, which was a journal of German worker photographers. Both the magazine and the journal tried to capture the real images of the people in their countries. All of these photographs speak to the viewer with a somber, dismal, pathetic tone. To look at them is to realize how cataclysmic the war was to the people; not the soldiers nor the officers and politicians, but the impoverished villagers who only craved to feed their families. One photograph in particular cries out f or the needs of the people. "Give us this Day our Daily Bread," by Kurt Beck (Germany), pleads with the viewer. A circular tin bread box dominates the entire right hand por- tion of the photograph. On the lid of the tin box the words "Give us this Day our Daily Bread" gaily throws out hope, but hands, both young and old, grope for the empty box proving otherwise. The hope for G od's help in a futile situation seems worthless. There is no food to feed the hungry. Another artist, John Heartfield of Germany, worked for the AIZ where many of his photographs made the cover. One, named "O Little German Christmas Tree, How Bent Y our Branches Seem to Be!" conclusively asserts the change in Germany in the 1930s. Placed in a swastika stand, a bare Christmas tree sits alone in an austere room. The tree trunk is gaunt but orderly; its branches jutting out from organized positions become swastikas themselves. The text below the photograph reads, "Darre, the minister of food decreed thatfrom Christmas 1934 the growing of the Christianfirtree on German soil was forbidden as an alien intruder.

It’ s Treasonous �N o Fate “ The future’s not selThere’s no fate but what we make for ourselves.” — John Conner Scary thought, eh? That we, each of us, is in control of what the future becomes. We, and only we, are to blame for the mess we have made of the earth and ourselves. And we, and only we, can put an end to it What are your priorities? Getting (or holding onto) that job, with it's paycheck, mind numbing commute, boring routine and stress? if so, you only perpetuate the blind misery that our society breeds. Do you really like your life? Where you live, the way you live, the work you do, the way you feel, how your children are, the world around you? If you don't, only you can change it. There is no other fate than the one we make for ourselves. You can blame someone else for your troubles until the sun burns cold, but you'll die just as miserable.

To the extent that learningtllireated as a personal decora­ tion of for armchair philosophizing educators are open to the chaige of eggheadsand educational institutions to that of ivdry towers. — Bertram Cole, December 21,1959 �Plan I FiTilm Craven Hall? Plan 9 From Outer Space! The educational administration is responsible for organiz­ ing the resources of the institution— the teachers, the students, the funds, the equipment and materials in such a way that all of the persons involved can work together toward defining and achieving their educational goals. The mainspring of the organization is the motiva­ tion for development and learning which is inherent in each person. The task of the administrator is to so arrange the organizational conditions and methods of operation that people can best achieve their own goals by also furthering the jointly defined goals of the institution. The administration finds that his work consists primarily of removing obstacles such as "red tape", of creating oppor­ tunities where teachers and students and administrators (including himself) can freely use their potential, of encouraging growth and change, and of creating a climate in which each person can believe that his potential is valued, his capacity for responsibility is trusted, his cre­ ative abilities prized. It should be dear from the above that responsibility and authority and initiative would be diffused throughout the group, in order to make the best use of all available knowledge, skill and originality, and thus to maximize the soundness of decisions. By following such a policy the development of the individuals involved is also maximized. The administrator has the task of using himself in just as fulfilling a way as he makes possible for his staff and students. He does not submerge himself, but uses his -Carl Rogers, Freedom to Learn leadership qualities, his vision, his wider information, all the characteristics which have led to his being placed in a position of responsibility, as positive input in a living and changing organization. Part of his function is to serve as a catalyst in releasing the capadty of others, but he is failing in his task if he does not release and develop his own potential as well. He is in the business of growing persons, but he himself is one of those persons. The educational administrator who follows the usual pattern in carrying responsibility for hisschoolsees histask as that of harnessing the energy of faculty and students so that the goals and requirements of the educational system will be met. In the first place he sees himself as responsible for organizingtheavailable money,equipment,and people in such a way as to achieve the educational goal which he has in view. This means that he must motivate and direct his faculty, and through them the students. It means that one of his main functions is to control the actions and to modify the behavior of all members of the school in such ways that the educational goal will be achieved. Central to his policies is the viewthat both faculty and students would be, if left to their own devices, apathetic to, or resistant to, the educational goal. Consequently, they must be re­ warded, punished, persuaded— through use of both the carrot and the stick— so that they work toward the goal which the administrator, or his board of trustees, or the state, has defined as"being educated.”This usual approach to educational administration has implicit in it a rather definite view of the nature of the human being. It is implied that both teacher and student are naturally apathetic and tend to avoid any strenuous effort Both teacher and student are seen as disliking responsibility and preferring to be guided or led. This view assumes that both teacher and student (but especially the student) are indifferent to achieving an educational goal and will only work toward this if a proper series of behavioral controls are instituted. -Carl Rogers, Freedom to Learn “Reading Plan 9 gives me a splitting headache.” iMrepressible �F orWhat It’s Worth We challenge the faculty to be courageous, There’s something happenin’ here There's a man with a gun over there H i i i N I I m sm university is a community of students and scholars: ibeiequai lot the positioit of dignity you should hold!

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

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

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

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

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

But he lives on, spreading his creed of middle-aged-white-male domination. He is the enemy. Watch for him.____________ San Marcos Man sat back fn his chair, a frown lining his face. The setting sun shone sickly through the windows of his seventh floor Craven Hall office. In his hands was the new issue of Plan 9 from Outer Space. 'Damn,” he thought, as he read this sentence, ”1thought that getting rid of that pesky Bill Robinson would put an end to this foolishness, but apparently not. M y minions were wrong once again about Robinson being the source of the campus radicalism.” In disgust, he threw down Plan and picked up the BladeCitizen. "Now here's a paper that respects authority,” he thought He flipped to the North County section and leaned back in his chair. ”Ahhh, this is more like it” San Marcos Man reached for his morning cup of coffee. At the very moment that he took a sip, his eyes fell on a headline reading 'Alternative magazine, Plan 9, invades CSSM.” Reflexively, he spewed coffee over ail of the very-really-no-kidding-we're-serious-absolutelyimportant-and-vital papers stacked neatly on his desk. To his chagrin, both Plan 9and the Biade-Qtizen article on Plan 9 were unspotted. "Goddammit!!!” he yelled, ”1can't stand this place!” A half an hour later, after he had recovered from his temper tantrum (mommy had never had the guts to whack him far off base), in a country that guarantees the right of every back into reality), San Marcos Man picked up the Bfade-Gtizen ddzen to say whatever they feei, it is preposterous for the once again and began to read, "it's treasonous, all right,” he administration of a small university to censure its students. mumbled as he read the article's opening line, ”the people What is the logic here? Is the administration afraid that we responsible should be shots."

It is high time that we wake up to the fact that Projected Speed / 250 - r President Kennedy was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, and was, in all probability the victim of a coup d’etat engineered by members of the American military/intelligence community who PowerPC 601 had realized that Kennedy was in the process of making an about face with respect to Cold War foreign policy, to their very serious detriment. (For an introduction to the problems with the “lone nut” theory, see the article beginning on page 6.) Intel Pentium The question ofwho killed Kennedy is not, as some maintain, “beating a dead horse.”For one thing, there is no statute of limitations on murder. With the single exception ofJim Garrison’s trial <2 200 -of ClayShaw (as portrayed in Oliver Stone’sJFK), no one was ever brought to trial for the Kennedy’s Intel 80486 murder, and according to our Constitution, Oswald must be « 150 - considered innocent until proven Intel 80386 guilty in a court of law.

Box 87202 San Diego, CA 92138-7202 Please send SASE with all queries and manuscripts. Sorry, but we can’t afford to pay for submissions. You are, of course, entirely correct. Given the foundation upon which Plan 9 is based, the issue of abortion has to be squarely discussed, rather than squarely dodged, no matter how many readers it costs us. In the first issue, we gave abortion no thought, but you are right on target when you say that it too is a symptom of the sickness that Plan 9 aims to expose. Plan 9 maintains that we are in the process of committing cultural (if not racial) suicide. What more direct or efficient form of suicide is there than ;illing our own children? It is the disposable society at its most base. Clearly, the reason that abortion is such a legitimate issue (as opposed to the issues manufactured by the media and the govern­ ment) is that the unborn child and the mother are essentially a single organism. That our society has reached such a state that mother nd child are alienated even before birth speaks clearly to the depth of the sickness that has overtaken us, and to the internal confusion that has resulted. Clearly, no one supports “killing babies.” But our society has often left us little choice. When there is no societal structure to support a poor single mother, what choice does she feel she has but to “terminate” the pregnancy? In a non-money-based communal society such as practiced by chimpanzees (don’t laugh; male chimps play as little role in the upbringing of their children as many human males do, but chimp society is such that it can handle it without resorting to killing babies), the identity of the father is of no consequence because the mother can rely on the support of the rest of the community to help her raise her children. In our society, so much more advanced and civilized than the chimps, we have no such support for mothers. Single mothers have to make it on their own, often living thousands of miles away from their own family, without the support of the community, in an environment polluted with greed and selfishness. What incentive, in such an environment, is there to bring a child into the world? Have we as a society so devalued mothers and children that we can afford to throw them away as we do everything else? And if so, can we expect to long remain on this planet? We at Plan 9 do not condemn those who feel that they have no other choice than abortion; we condemn the society that has made this “choice” not only a reality, but a commonplace one. However, Plan 0 opposes outlawing abortion for the simple fact that we do not believe in the use of force on anyone, mother or child. Abortion itself, is clearly a use of force, but it must be brought to a halt through education and a fundamental restructuring of society, not laws. As for those individuals who take it upon themselves to rid the world of abortion doctors by murdering them, we at Plan 9 have only the most utter contempt. Killing never solves anything. As to editing your letter inthe manner of the popular media, we, unlike the popular media, actually believe in free speech, and so respect your right to say your piece in full. 9 Pocks Apathy Congratulations! Your paper is responsible for actually moti­ vating me to write. I am a great believer in freedom of speech; and what I feel is it’s purest form: the underground newspaper. Vol. 2, No. 1 of Plan 9 (the first issue I’ve seen) is the best “underground” publication I’ve read here in San Diego. So good that I felt I had to break apathy’s grip and encourage your effort! I respect your ideals and principles as set forth in this issue. The journalism overall was not only intelligent and thought out, but clearly heartfelt. Trulya refreshing thing to read. I enjoyed especially the absence of these two attitudes: #1) “Everything is so fucked up that we can’t do anything about it except talk shit.” It is very easy to find fault with today’s reality. The environment, the government, etc... Rather than accept defeat, or shuffle the blame around, your paper did what saves America from total deception by mass media: exercise free speech encourage diversity - offer solutions. #2) “Rebellion is cool. So let’s rebel.” The current fad (as I’m sure you’re aware) is to be “alternative.” Crowded under that enor­ mous title is a mixture of politics, fashion, music and lifestyles; currently all trying to be cool. Not aware, or well informed, or even interested; just cool. The total lack of any advertising by those cashing in on the alternative market convinced me you were for real. Again - you rocked my apathy. To be honest, I have never written a letter to any editor of any paper. But I very much wanted you to know that your paper had made a difference to at least one person. Keep up the good work! James P.S. I am curious how or if I would be able to contribute. Are there certain topics you need people to cover - do we submit whatever we want? Could you explain further in the next edition or, if you have time, write. First of all, thanks for the letter. It makes the whole effort of publishing Plan 9 worthwhile to know that there are people out there who are reading it and appreciating it. The whole intent of Plan 9 is to wake people from the apathetic slumber that we’ve fallen into. I’m glad at least one person is beginning to rouse. We struggled long and hard with the idea of accepting adver­ tising. Since we can’t really afford to be shelling out several hundred dollars a month to publish a paper, advertising would have covered at least some of our costs. But Plan 9 wouldn’t have been an honest paper if we had accepted advertising. And it needs to be honest to have any effect on people. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s world honesty is a novelty, a mysterious curiosity. Everyone just assumes that you have some ulterior motive, some hidden agenda, and you can only surprise them by not hiding anything. To accept advertising would have been to accept the limitations upon freedom of thought and expression that the acceptance of advertising inevitably brings. When the advertisers pay your bills, your hidden agenda becomes to maintain the influx of money. As a result, honesty takes a back seat to financial security. Personally, we’d rather be honest than secure. Security is just an illusion anyway. As to what you can submit, we’re interested in submissions in two very broad areas: personal experiences and signs of the times.

O n ly in Plan 9! (see p g -7) Free men do not ask permission to enjoy their freedom , -Timothy Leary �The Revolution Will be Computerized (cont.) However, the current “CISC” (Complex Instructional Set Computing) technology, which has been used since the dawn of PCs, is beginning to run into severe physical limitations. In fact, Intel’s new Pentium processor represents the final major CISC processor to be introduced. The Pentium will be wiped out by the in-every-way-superior PowerPC and RISC architec­ ture will totally replace today’s technology. CISC computers will be as out-of-date as vacuum tubes (well, not quite) .As Byte Magazine said four years ago in May 1989, “Traditional semi­ conductor technology will reach its limits in the mid to late 1990V: So what are “CISC” and “RISC”? Nothing much really. CISC computers have instructions that are complex, large and of varying length. A RISC computer’s instructions are simple, small and all the same size. The important point here is that computers operate faster if the instructions sent to it are simple (reduced), small and uniform. No duh. So much faster in fact that thefirst of a series of PowerPC chips (the PowerPC 601) will double the processing power of the state of the art CISC chip, the Intel Pentium. The Pentium, which still has yet to hit the market in large numbers, itself has double the processing power of the current standard proces­ sor, the Intel 80486 (universally referred to as the ‘486’). But speed isn’t the only benefit of RISC technology. Advancements in semiconductor design make RISC chips smaller, less power hungry and cheaper to produce. Compare the following specs: PowerPC 601 Clock Speed Transistors MIPS* Size Power Use Cost 66MHz 3.1 million 112 16.6x17.6 mm 16W $900 The Players: a s ts & s js s rE = ¥ = ' • “ ’“ You don’t have to be a computer nerd to see which is clearly better. Because of its smaller size and lower power use, the PowerPC gives off less heat than the Pentium, which will ultimately result in higher reliability than the Pentium (micro­ electronics are very sensitive to heat and tend to fail quicker at higher temperatures). The PowerPC’s smaller size means that it is cheaper to produce. Combined with its superior perfor­ mance (and the feet that it has the two largest computer manufacturers in the world behind it), the PowerPC (and its successors) will eventually replace the Intel line as the stan­ dard processor in all personal computers. In effect, in the period of about a year, we are going to see an entire computer generation pass. What’s really happening is that in the process of leaping from one technology to the next, we are realizing the immediate “benefits” of RISC tech­ nology: the equivalent of an entire generation of CISC proces­ International Business Machines Annual Revenue: $63.79 billion 1991 PC Sales: $8.5 billion Apple Computer Inc.

If things then continue as before, by the end of 1998 (when the second generation of PowerPC chips-and Intel’s answer to it-debut) we will be looking at personal computers capable of 500 MIPS*; an order of magnitude more powerful than the fastest 486’s on the market today (486DX2 66MHz: 54 MIPS). Never before in the history of technology have such leaps in capability taken place at such a rate. As a result, we are at a technological cusp between one kind of society and another. It is truly a revolution. But what kind of revolution? Will computers take over the world? (You mean they haven’t already??) Surprisingly, no one in y Intel Corporation Annual Revenue: $4.78 billion 1991 Semiconductor Sales: $4.78 billion really talks about the social impacts of the new technology. And there will be impacts. First of all, computer voice recog­ nition will become a reality. It won’t be too long before you will begin to see people talking to a machine and having it re­ spond. Handwriting recognition will also come of age. But the most important impact will be that of virtual reality. The PowerPC, backed by the two most aggressive pushers of multimedia, W be the platform of choice for ill virtual reality development. By the end of1994you should see VRheadsets appearing for personal computers. People by the hundreds of thousands will clamor for the “new TV.” Fast, interactive, and able to create any fantasy you want, virtual reality will be the ultimate escapism (or to put it into the old “New Left’s” terms, “the ultimate pacification program”). Is that what we want? Has it ever occurred to anyone that in attempting to create a machine in our own image (Isn’t voice recognition just a step in that direction?) and in attempt­ ing to recreate reality itself, we can only get farther and farther from ourselves and from reality? Look at kids today. They P/a/7 P History Lesson: The First Electronic Computer The first tru e electronic com ­ p u ter w as the ENIAC (Elec­ tro n ic N u m erical In teg rato r A nd Calculator).

I was fortunate enough to stumble on it at the Ken Theatre after coming out of Manufacturing Consent.

I am an avid subscriber to the Christian Science Monitor newspaper and believe that your content in the October issue rates just as useful. Great work, Lisa Matt Perfect! We rushed to get that issue of P/an 9 out before Manufacturing Consent came to town. I bet that the Media Watch section of that issue was particularly cogent after seeing the movie. Plan 9 domes out whenever we have enough stuff to put in an issue and enough money to pay for the printing. We’re shooting for monthly, but we’re not really interested in being tied to any particular schedule. We don’t have the means of maintaining subscriptions, so that option is out. Sorry. However, you can get future issues at the Ken, or in coffee shops, bookstores and the like along Adams Ave., in Hillcrest, OB, and at all of the major universities and community colleges in the area. �Media Watch What’s Happening to the Book Industry? By Dennis H. Dutton The corporatization of media is, I think, unfortunate. I’m especially familiar with the phenomenon as it’s reared its me­ dusa head in the book industry. When such great independent book publishers as Simon & Schuster, Prentice Hall, Pocket Books, Putnam, Grosset & Dunlap, Random House, Knopf, and Little, Brown &Company are swallowed by conglomerates, then the creative editorial visions that impelled these publishers are in serious jeopardy if not lost. The only— repeat, the only— major independent U.S. publisher that now exists is W. W. Norton. One result of this trend is that decisions about whether or not to publish manuscripts are increasingly based on projec­ tions of “pure” market value, while literary quality and other virtues go slighted or ignored. This is not to say that good and great books are not being published, even by the giants. They are. But more and more frequently the bottom line is:Will it sell, and in big numbers? And what’s presumed to have the best selling potential is the manu­ script that’s thought to have appeal to a perceived commondenominator reading public, or to a “select but still large reading public.” This would not be so bad if the people making these decisions had some sound literary principles grounding their good business sense; but it’ more likely that in corporate s publishing, the decisions are being made by executives and bean-counters who don’t give a damn about anything as long as a manuscript can be projected as a money-maker. they wither away in the frost of ill-considered business planning or poor book selection— just plain old bad luck. None of them or have the luxury of being supported by fellow subsidiaries who may be strongly in the black while they linger in the red. Unfortunately, a few of the worst small publishers— in terms of production quality and literary virtue, etc.— manage to thrive in spite of the many challenges of the game; they find their public, pander to it, and sell, sell, sell. They may be small, but they think big. Some of the best hang in there and produce astonishingly fine books with varying degrees of financial suc­ cess. And some of the best die— are absorbed by conglomer­ or ates. In the midst of all this change, more books are being published now than ever, and readers therefore have more tides to choose from. No complaint there, although I bemoan the dreck that eats up forests. But will this continue to be the case for long? The chain superstores (I can’t help but think of the irony in the name ‘Waldenbooks”) can afford to buy books in large quantities and, because they purchase them at high discounts, they can offer them at reduced prices. Most independents can’t. The result is that, especially at peak-buying times such as the Thanksgiving to Christmas season, sales at independent stores is lessened. The independent bookstore is now seen by many in the business to be a threatened species. If the number of independent booksellers dwindles, that’s going to affect the quality, and perhaps the number, of titles available to us. It was not the superstore book buyer that helped Decisions are being made by executives and bean­ counters who don’t give a damn about anything as long as a manuscript can be projected as a money-maker. make the unusual Bridges of Madison County a bookseller; according to both author Robert James Waller and publisher Warner Books, it was the independent buyer. Chain superstore book buyers seldom have the imagina­ tion or courage to order or promote books like Bridges of Madison County. The independent bookseller does, because he or she typically bases book-buying not only on proven track records of certain authors or on what’s trendy or likely to be a hot item with faceless consumers, but on what he or she knows to be the literary tastes and interests of the store’s actual living, breathing, thinking customers. If the superstores destroy the independents— they are and trying to— may eventually find that we’re only able to pur­ we chase books that the superstore book buyers presume to have the best selling potential to a perceived common-denominator reading public, or to a “select but still large reading public;” the choices we readers will have will he in the hands of fewer and fewer people, and those people will be corporate drones and bean counters. Another, I think related, danger to the book publishing industry is illiteracy. Fifty percent of adult Americans are func­ tionally illiterate. I’ll bet that the vast majority of those who have bought an unknown author’s Bridges ofMadison County can read. I’ll also bet that a large percentage of W ELL, M A Y B E NOT THAT E X A C T B O O K ...B U T HEY.'

Taxes are being shifted to support more basic needs in our communities, and so libraries are Reprinted from the Utne Reader; Nov/Dec 1993. either limiting their hours, closing their Potential blockbusters are printed in the hundreds of thousands, even millions of copies, and are given advertising and promotion budgets that could feed hundreds of families for the duration of their lives. Masterpieces with little perceived commercial value are lucky to have runs of3,000 to 5,000, and their promotional budgets are seldom over $1,000. Some folks think the small book publisher is the salvation in the face of the decadence outlined above; that it is the small book publisher who will be the one to take chances on manu­ scripts of quality but, perhaps, limited potential reading publics. There’s some justification for this view, and the advent of the personal computer has had a lot to do with it. The personal computer and access to assorted publishing programs have permitted hundreds of creative individuals to join the publish­ ing game. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the personal computer has permitted hundreds of idiots to join the game too. A lot of trees are consequently being wasted by small publishers who don’t know what the hell they’re doing, who are barely if at all functionally literate, and who don’t care as long as they can pay the printing bills and cover overhead. Small book publishers— you might expect— as sprout in great entrepreneurial profusion like springtime flowers, and doors on days they used to be open, or shutting down entirely. Libraries are buying fewer tides in any case, and tending to not replace worn-out copies of old books. A librarian near my little town in northern New Mexico was quoted as saying, “Who wants to readabook published before 1930?”She was selling off the library’s old stock. In black moments, one can foresee the day when the only access we will have to books is through the largess of the superstore or (for those able to affordit)thecomputer.Orwellian scenarios are easy to conjure. The situation is hardly hopeless. Trends change. But I fear for the state ofthe book in the face ofincreasing corporatization, hypnotism by television and video games; and— yes— inter­ the active CD-ROMand virtual reality technology (excuse me while I download the interactive virtual-reality edition of Tale ofTwo Cities). What to do? Support independent publishers by buying their books. Boycott the superstores. Frequent your library and used-book stores for must-read books by corporate publishers. 4. Support your local independent bookseller, even if the prices of books are sometimes slighdy higher than at the superstores. 5. Get involved in literacy campaigns (check with your li­ brary).

The issue is how much longer end to what extent we can allow the state to control our mindsr -Ken Anderson, 1969 �A Lexicon of Media Buzzwords Reprinted from Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media, by Martin A. Lee & Norman Solomon. What we hear over and over again shapes our language and guides our thoughts. As with ad jingles, the drumbeat of repeated news lingo stays with us and takes on a life of its own. In the long run, what’s repeated endlessly becomes social “reality.” For every exceptional media item (notable as an exception), hundreds of stories solemnly present recycled cliches as truisms. Too often, American journalism is not “reporting the news” so much as reinforcing timeworn attitudes. To consume the news dished out every day is to partake ofa steady offering of buzzwords and catch-phrases that range from the vaguely factual to the questionable to the ridiculous. For example: • • • Acting presidential: A grandly nebulous description by TV news correspondents, giving a favorable review to some bit of presidential acting. Bailout: Huge amounts of taxpayers’ money going to wealthy financiers with souring investments in industries like auto production or Savings and Loans. Believed to be, Considered to be: Using the passive voice, the journalist can generalize at will, as though anyone knowledgeable shares the same belief. Big government: A pejorative for regulatory agencies limiting corporate activities, or for social service programs aiding poor and middle-class people—but not for the govemmenfs enormous military expenditures. Brought to you by: A roundabout way of plugging commercial sponsors. Caller claimed responsibility: Mysterious phone tip to a news organization, usually impossible to verify. Who really made the call? The CIA? The KGB? An autonomous lunatic? We’ll never know. Clean up: A scenario for setting right oil spills, nuclear pollution, chemical releases and the like. The phrase sounds comforting—it implies a magical vacuum cleaner at work—except that most ecological disasters can’t be undone. Dangerous drugs: Illegal substances, as distinct from other damaging consumables—alcohol, cigarettes and over-prescribed pharmaceuticals—also widely used. Defense spending: Military spending. Deterrent: Nuclear weapons pointed at the Soviet Union. (Nuclear weapons pointed at the United States never get the U.S. media’s “deterrent” tag.) Efficiency: Frequently shorthand for corporate management’s preferences, maybe involving layoffs, firings, wage cuts and/or union-busting. Experts: A common noun handy for promoting a favored point of view. Extremists, Fanatics, Fringe groups: Political individuals or groupings that meet with U.S. government and media disapproval. Instability: Code for situations overseas where the U.S. State Department is unhappy with current events. Intelligence community: A way of making cloak-and-dagger specialists at the CIA and other spy agencies sound like friendly neighbors. Military leader: A foreign military dictator whom the White House doesn’t mind a whole lot. Military strongman: A foreign military dictator out of favor with the White House. (In 1989, Military Strongman seemed to be the first names of Panamanian General Manuel Noriega. A few years earlier, when he was on the CIA’s payroll, he was a “military leader.”) Moderate: In domestic politics, this favorable adjective is conferred for not rocking the status-quo boat. As a moniker for foreign regimes, “moderate” denotes little inclination to disrupt U.S. government plans. Thus, Saudi Arabia’s monarchy is “moderate”—which would surprise the hundreds of torture victims inside Saudi prisons. Modernization (of nuclear weapons): The United States and NATO proceed to “modernize”nuclear arsenals with new missiles. But American media never apply the benign-sounding term to newly devised Soviet nuclear arms. National security: Confined to subjects like weapons, soldiers and espionage, the connotations bypass vital aspects of true national security—such as environmental protection, public health, social cohesion and a strong economy. Observers: The observers taken most seriously by news media. Radical: Although students protesting in, say, China are “pro-democracy,”in South Korea pro-democracy students in the streets are “radical” demonstrators—with the reasons behind their anti-U.S. protests rarely explained. Reform: In journalese, “reform” can mean just about anything. “Tax reform” during the 1980's was a euphemism for legislation that gave the wealthy major tax cuts. Special interests: This phrase used to be applied to wheeler-dealers relying on big bucks instead of grassroots supporters to sway the democratic process. But in recent years, mass media have turned the “special interests”label upside down and plastered it elsewhere—on large numbers of people with less money and less power—groups of black and Hispanic Americans, labor union members, feminist women, seniors, lesbian and gay rights backers, and other organized constituencies. Stability: A codeword for situations overseas where the U.S. State Department wouldn’t mind if conditions stayed the same. Terrorism: A label very selectively applied, in keeping with U.S. government definitions. So—in the mediaspeak lexicon—bombings, assassinations and kidnappings are “terrorism” if done by Arabs, but not if done by Israelis. U.S. analysts, Western diplomats, etc.: These phrases are broad and pliable enough to serve as springboards for the opinions of American officials and their allies, while obscuring the sources and motives behind the words. T h e " ::;' " : ; " : ; : 00393077 When we had last left our hero, a battle was brewing between two groups of suitors for Paramount’s hand. On the one side was Viacom, backed with funding from Blockbuster Entertainment, Cox Enterprises and Nynex. On the other was QVC, backed by Liberty Media Corp. [a subsidiary of Tele­ communications Inc. (TCI)] and Comcast Corp. By press time, the story remained pretty much the same, though the names of the players were beginning to change. In fact, what appeared to be happening was the beginning of the collapse of the media industry into a single giant corporation. Cox Enterprises changed sides, joining Bell-Atlantic and Ad­ vance Publications Inc. on the QVC side of the deal. All in all, QVC has lined up $1.5 billion in investors to back their bid for Paramount. While all of this was happening, Bell Atlantic announced that intended to buy TCI, lock, stock and barrel. Along with its Paramount stake in the Paramount/QVC merger, this deal would instandy make Bell Adantic one of the largest media companies in the world, controlling everything from the world’s largest cable system (TCI), phone, cellular, and other communications services, along withstakes in theQVC network and Paramount’s holdings.

Book Censorship by Daniel Schreffler, Albany, NY I want to draw your attention to a growing threat to freedom of expression in the U.S. The local independent bookshop seems to be going the way of the comer grocery and neighborhood hardware store. Two large “superstore” chains, Borders (a subsidiary of K-Mart) and Barnes & Noble, are opening giant new stores all over the country, driving independent bookstores out of business with their deep discount prices. If this trend continues, retail book selling will be dominated by these two large companies. They will then essentially be able to determine what gets published, since no publisher will bother to print a book that the chains refuse to sell. The dreary conformity that now pervades other areas of the media will be extended to books. This may not be apparent in the short term as the chains continue to be measured by the standards established by an open and diverse retail market. However, as the inde­ pendent booksellers disappear, the profit motive and the personal whims of the small group of people controlling purchasing will eventually prevail, and controversial books will gradually become less accessible to the public.

(see p g-7) �Oswald Was a Patsy Beginning ¥ even before the assassination of President Kennedy, a web of lies has been spun to cover the real truth of who killed Kennedy and why. It would be impossible in the space available to go into all of the reasons why Oswald could not have killed Kennedy; there are several excellent books which cover everything of importance. However, for the sake of satisfying those who still blindly believe the official version of the assassination, I will outline the major problems with the “lone nut” theory. 1. On the day he was airested, Oswald was given a nitrate test, the results of which showed that he had not fired a weapon in the previous 24 hours (Ruby shot Oswald 23 hours after the assassination). 2. It was physically impossible for anyone to load, aim and fire the cheap Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle allegedly used by Oswald in less than 2,3 seconds (as established by FBI tests). However, the Zapruder film shows Kennedy and Connelly being hit by separate shots, less than a second apart. 3. In order to account for this discrepancy, the Warren Commission developed the “single bullet theory,” which claimed that a single bullet (which mysteriously appeared on a stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital where Kennedy and Connelly were taken) had inflicted seven separate wounds on Kennedy and Connelly. The bullet was found in almost perfect condition (see figures 3 and 4). Even firing at full speed, as required by the Zapruder film, it would nearly impossible for the finest marksman to have hit Kennedy three times, particularly with such a cheap rifle. Furthermore, Oswald was considered a mediocre marksman. The Zapruder film clearly shows the fatal shot hitting Kennedy in front of his head above the right eye, snapping his head backward (see figure 1). 6. Acoustic analysis of a dictablet recording made by Dallas police at the time of the assassination clearly indicated that Figure 1: The fata l shot Zapruder Frame 312 M Si Abraham Zapruder ots six or seven snoi were fired. The acoustics of at least two of the shots, including the fatal shot, indicated that they must have come from in front of the limousine, not behind. Ah :t 50 witnesses to the shooting, including Dallas police officers, claimed that they heard shots and saw smoke coming from the so-called “grassy knoll,”which was in front and to the right of Kennedy’s limousine. Several people ran oyer to the knoll after the shooting, but were turned away by “Secret Service agents.” Records indicate that no Secret Ser­ vice agents ever went over to the grassy knoll. There were gross discrepancies be­ Fig ure 2. D ealey P laza tween the wounds described in official autopsy of Kennedy bullet would be smashed to bits by the time it got to Connelly’s thigh.

Some authors maintain that a seventh shot struck Kennedy at almost the same instant as the fatal shot (#5), though there is no clear evidence for this. The Single Bullet Theory Just before thefatal shot, Kennedy is reacting to bullets #2 and #3. Bullet #2 h it him in the throat, which he is clutching with his hands. Bullet #3 hit him in the back, forcing him forward in the seat. Jackie has turned toface him. Zapruder Frame 313 Kennedy has been struck by another bullet, this one clearly hitting him in thefront o f the head on the right side. Given theposition o f the car, the shot would have originated f rom the so-called "grassy knoll. ” This is the fatal bullet. Zapruder Frame 323 A half a second later, Kennedy *shead has clearly snapped back and to the left. The bullet has blown open the right side o f his head, exposing his brain (visible as the bright spot on the side o f his head). “Sniper’s Nest” There are so many problems with the single bullet theory that I can only list the major ones. This theory was developed by Arlen Spector and Gerald Ford during the Warren Commis­ sion investigation to account for the fact that it was physically impossible for Oswald to have fired shot #3, which hit Kennedy in the back and then, only six tenths of asecond later to have fired another shot (#4), which severely wounded Connelly, as shown in the Zapruder film. Admitting that these were two separate shots would have meant admitting a conspiracy. Therefore, the Commission (against the testimony of Connelly, who maintained that they were separate shots) merged the two shots into one, regard­ less of the fact that this required Connelly to not react to a nearly fatal shot, which supposedly hit him in three separate places, for over a half a second. Specifically, the theory claimed that shot #3, fired down­ ward from the sixth floor of the Book Depository hit Kennedy in the back, turned upward and exited Kennedy’s throat (where shot two had actually entered), turned in mid-air to point downward again, entered Connelly’s back near his right armpit, turned left and exited beneath Connelly’s right nipple, turned right and upward again and smashed Connelly’s right wrist and finally turned downward and left to hit Connelly’s left thigh (see figure 3). Even more preposterous was the fact that the Commis­ sion claimed that a pristine bullet (CE 399) found on a stretcher at Parkland had caused all of these wounds! True, CE 399 had been fired from Oswald’s rifle, but into what? Compare a photograph of CE 399 with another bullet of the same type fired into the wrist of a cadaver (figure 4). Though it might be possible for a bullet to travel the convoluted path required by the single bullet theory, there can be little doubt that such a Massive discrepancies exist between what was observed by doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and what was described in the “official” autopsy (which took place at Bethesda Naval Hospital) published by the Warren Commis­ sion. There are even severe discrepancies between the “offi­ cial”autopsy photos and several of the “official”autopsy x-rays (see figures 5 and 6). All medical personnel in Dallas described a large defect (“hole”) in the back of Kennedy’s head where as much as a third of his brain had been forcibly blown out.

No mention was made to damage on the top of Kennedy’s head or to his forehead, as shown in the autopsy photos and x-rays, respectively. For years it was thought that the Parkland doctors saw very different wounds than those at Bethesda. The truth, however, is that these doctors have always agreed on the nature of Kennedy’s wounds. The fact is that the Warren Commission blatandy altered and falsified the contents of the Bethesda autopsy report to fit the single bullet theory. Indeed, the doctor in charge of the Bethesda autopsy, Commander James Humes, was forced to burn the first draft of the autopsy to cover up his findings. Figure 5. A utopsy photo. by the Rev. Dr. Bernard “Bernie” Helwell. Hello dear friends. I’m Bernie Helwell and I’ve got an important message for you. I hope to reach the unwashed masses, the heathen, the impressionable young person with money to bum. So I’ve chosen Plan 9 for my new tabloid ministry. Listen! You don’t have to wait until you’re dead to begin eternal punishment! Amazing as it sounds dear friends, with my Perpetual Suffering Plan, you can start paying for your sins today. “Why would anyone want to suffer now?” you ask. Well, it’s really as simple as apple pie; If you suffer now, it will be taken as an earnest of yourgood intentions later, when you’re dead. So sign-up today, Send us your cash donation for free information and a worthless gift. Send no checks. Money orders are OK. HelwelTs Principles are the basis for the Perpetual Suffering Plan. Taken to­ gether and followed assiduously they lead in­ exorably to your personal salvation. 1. Make everyone miserable and all will be well. This is how government works. 2.

Note that entrance wound on his right temple is probably accurate. This photo is in total disagreement with the official autopsy X-ray, below. Who Killed Kennedy? Again, I don’t really have the space to go into this issue. Suffice to say that the theory advanced by New Orleans DAJim Garrison (portrayed in Oliver Stone’s JFK) is the most plau­ sible. In brief, this theory states that Kennedy was assassinated by an anti-Castro special operations wing of the CIAwhich had felt betrayed by Kennedy’s refusal to provide air cover for the Bay of Pigs Invasion. 'When it became clear that Kennedy was also going to pull us out ofVietnam, this contingent of the CIA, with support from operatives in other areas, plotted to bring him to Dallas. Oswald’s associations with Ferrie, Banister and Clay Shaw provide clear links to the CIA (Shaw, who was acquitted of conspiracy in the Garrison trial, was later found to have been a paid CIAinformant.). And who else but insiders would have the ability or motivation to cover up the truth or alter the autopsy report? Additionally, the CIA’s founding director, Allen Dulles, was fired by Kennedy in 1961. Amazingly, Dulles was ap­ pointed to the Warren Commission in 1964. Figure 6. A utopsy X -ray. 3. This is the basis of the insurance industry. You can put this simple principle to work for your own ends. Suffering is cumulative. The incremental raising of the level of dissatisfaction throughout society results, ultimately, in greater suffering for all. This is why we have a so-called “drug problem,” and why Brenda Spencer doesn’t like Mondays. And this is why the crosses atop Mt. Soledad and Mt. Helix must come down. Letters to Rev. Dr. Dear Rev. Dr. Helwell: Myson will not behave. He does nasty things just to annoy me and his poor suffering mother. He dropped out of medschool to race bicycles.

Though the case against the dead Oswald was only circumstantial, and witnesses persisted in talking about six or seven shots, shots coming from the grassy knoll, etc., Life has no problem making a blanket statement that Oswald did it.

Finally, the October 2,1964 issue of Life finally shows frames 313 and 323 of the Zapruder film (see figure XX), but switches their position so that frame 323 appears first, making it appear that Kennedy’s head movedforward after being hit from the rear.

But there are major questions about each of these factors. Women with a family history of breast cancer are statistically more likely to develop the disease themselves, but no study has established whether this is a result of genetic disposition or shared environment. Nor does genetic vulnerability explain the jump in breast cancer incidence during the past halfcentury—from 1 in every 20 women during the 195Q's to 1 in 9 today. Dietary fat is the most controversial risk factor associated with breast cancer. In the 1960’s, epidemiologists observed that nations in which people ate more fat had higher breast cancer rates, and that fat consumption in the United States rose during the same period of time the incidence of breast cancer rose. They theorized that fat must promote breast cancer. But numerous subsequent studies have failed to dem­ onstrate a consistent relationship between breast cancer and dietary fat. And laboratory studies have not established any mechanism by which dietary fat could promote breast cancer. One possibility ignored by cancer establishment researchers: Perhaps it’s not the fat that increases the risk, but chemicals in the fat. Many known carcinogens concentrate in animal fat, so people who eat more fat also absorb more chemicals. But the most serious problem with the causes proposed by the cancer establishment is simple: Three out of every four women who develop breast cancer have none of these primary mals. As those animals are eaten by others, the synthetic chemicals move up the food chain and their concentrations rise exponentially. Creatures at the top of the food chain accumulate high concentrations of organochlorines. In less than two decades of their use,” wrote Carson, “these synthetic pesticides have been so thoroughly distributed throughout the animate and inanimate world that they occur virtually everywhere.” Including in the human body: More than 177 organochlorines have been found in the tissues of the general population of the United States and Canada. Organochlorines have been linked to epidemic health problems in fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Their effects include infertility, birth defects, miscarriages, immune system suppression, metabolic dysfunction, behavioral disorders, and hormonal abnormalities. And many of the chlorine-based compounds are known to cause cancer in humans, though the ways they promote the disease vary. Because these chemicals tend to strike reproductive systems first, and because many of them are known to be carcinogenic, there is good reason to suspect that they play a role in promoting breast cancer. Epidemiological evidence confirms that suspicion: • Women in Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk counties, which were routinely blanketed with aerial sprayings of DDT during the 1950's, suffer among the highest rates of breast cancer in the nation.

Yet not one of these findings came from within the cancer establishment. Nor have the NCI and the ACS taken much interest in them. “The chemical agents ofcancer have become entrenched in our world in two ways,” wrote Rachel Carson more than 30 years ago. “First, and ironically, through man’s search for a better and easier way oflife; second, because the manufacture and sale of such chemicals has become an accepted part of our economy and our way of life.” Rachel Carson died ofbreastcancerinApril 1964. She was 56 years old. Imperial Chemical Industries “Eariy detection is your best protection. Don’t be an easy target— a mammogram now. ” That’s the message of Na­ get tional Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s the same every October, on every one of the hundreds of thousands of posters, pamphlets, radio spots, newspaper ads, and promo­ tional videos distributed by the event’s sponsors. But few of Why a moratorium? Because several studies suggest that the radiation accumulated through these yearly X-rays may actually be causing breast cancer. “These pamphlets give the impression that if you are a good girl and get your mammograms, you’ll be OK,” says Steingraber. “But having a mammogram is not like flossing your teeth. A mammogram does not prevent breast cancer.” ICI also stands to profit every time a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer because an ICI spin-off, Zeneca Pharmaceu­ ticals, sells the leading treatment drug for breast cancer. Nolvadex is Zeneca’s trade name for tamoxifen citrate, an anti­ estrogen drug with annual sales of almost $500 million. More than half of those gross sales are in the United States, where Zeneca Nolvadex costs about $1.38 per tablet. Generic tamoxifen, available in Canada and other countries, is as low as 24 cents per tablet. Tamoxifen doesn’t cure the existing cancer, but it can help prevent the spread of the disease in patients who are diagnosed eariy. ICI’s sponsorship of BCAM is just one example of the many conflicts of interest that pervade the cancer establish­ ment. “Underlying the cancer establishment’s fixation with di- ICI has been the sole financial sponsor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) since the event’s inception. In return, ICI has been allowed to approve— or veto— every poster, pamphlet, and adver­ tisement BCAM uses. Not surprisingly, carcinogens are never mentioned in BCAM’s widely distributed literature. the women who participate in Breast CancerAwareness Month are aware that an international chemical giant— Imperial Chemi­ cal Industries (ICI)—pays the event’s bills and cashes in on its message. ICI is one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Its annual sales exceeded $23 billion in 1991. It stands among the world’s largest producers of chlorine- and petroleumbased products, including plastics, explosives, pharmaceuti­ cals, and paint. ICI also has a dismal environmental record: One Quebec paint-pigment subsidiary single-handedly con­ tributes a third of the toxic chemicals dumped into the St. Lawrence River, according to the government agency Environ­ ment Canada. ICI co-founded National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) nine years ago, together with Cancer Care Inc. (a support group) and the American Academy of Family Physi­ cians. Since then, BCAM has become fully integrated with the cancer establishment. The ACS and the NCI are represented on the BCAM board. ICI has been the sole financial sponsor of BCAMsince the event’s inception. Altogether, the company has spent “several agnosis, treatment, and research into new drugs is an institu­ tionalized alliance between interlocking professional and fi­ nancial interests,” says Dr. Samuel Epstein, a professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. “At the hub of this alliance is the highly profitable pharmaceutical industry.” As a result, the cancer establishment remains more interested in treating cancer than in preventing it, more interested in developing drugs than in finding carcinogens. Even the NCI’s much-publicized Breast Cancer Preven­ tion Trial is really just another drug-pushing deal in which perfecdy healthy women are being given a known carcinogen to see ifit will “prevent”breast cancer. Last year, the NCI began recruiting 16,000 U.S. and Canadian women for the 10-year study. Half will receive a placebo. The other half will get tamoxifen. The idea is to see whether those on the anti­ estrogen drug develop fewer breast cancers than those on the placebo. “The tamoxifen study is particularly galling,”says Epstein. “It is a scientific and ethical travesty. [The NCI’s] conduct verges on criminal recklessness.” The NCI is conducting the ICI also stands to profit every time a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer because an ICI spin-off, Zeneca Pha-maceuticals, sells the leading treatment drug for breast cancer. million dollars” on the project, according to an ICI spokes­ woman. In return, ICI has been allowed to approve— veto— or every poster, pamphlet, and advertisement BCAM uses. Not surprisingly, carcinogens are never mentioned in BCAM’s widely distributed literature. “Researchers are investigating the role ofheredity, lifestyle, and diet,” says one BCAM pamphlet. “But you can’t assume that modifying your diet or lifestyle will make you safe from disease. Early detection is your best protection.” And what does ICI suggest that women do to “protect” themselves? “Get regular mammograms. See your doctor regularly. Examine your breasts monthly.” Monthly self-exams are a good idea. But mammograms are risky and of question­ able value. Regular mammograms do not improve survival rates for most women, according to several recent studies. By the time a tumor is detectable on a mammogram, it is already six to eight years old— woul^l soon be detected through a and breast self-exam. “There is no evidence to support introduc­ tion of service mammography for women under 50,” said a recent editorial in TheLancet. “And some may argue that there should be a moratorium on all mammography for symptomfree women in this age group.” experiment despite evidence that tamoxifen, which is known to cause blood clots, uterine cancer, and liver cancer, may harm more women than it will help. By the NCI’s own esti­ mates, tamoxifen will prevent breast cancer in only 62 of the 8,000 women who take it. The other 7,938will risk uterine and liver cancers for the sake of “science.” And for the benefit of Imperial Chemical Industries . ICI’s Nolvadex is already the top-selling cancer drug in the world. But if tamoxifen were approved for use as a preventive drug, ICI could sell even more Nolvadex. ICI used its BCAMcontacts to convince the NCI to spend $70 million of taxpayers’money on this prevention trial— small feat, considering that the no NCI’s entire annual budget for breast cancer research is only $196 million. . Ifthe Breast Cancer Prevention Trial shows that tamoxifen is effective in preventing breast cancer, Nolvadex will become a multi-billion-dollar-a-year drug. Every woman on the planet would be a potential customer. In the meantime, ICI contin­ ues to sell almost a half a billion dollars worth of treatment each year for a disease that it may be causing by selling tens of billions of dollars worth of toxic chemicals each year. These are the profits of misery. Better dying through chemistry!

Rating the Rags On September 15, the LosAngeles Times ran a piece titled “Raise Urged for Cal State Presidents.” In it CSU Chancellor Barry (“The Tan Man”) Munitz claimed that CSU presidential salaries (which average $120,075) are 21% below those at comparable public universities elsewhere in the country. A week later, the Times ran another article, this one claiming that UC Chancellor salaries (which average $188,767 according to the Times) lag 14% behind those of chancellors and provosts at schools such as Harvard and Yale. (Note: In the UC system, the President lords over all and the Chancellors mismanage the individual campuses. In the CSU system it’s the other way around: the Chancellor is the big cheese, and the Presidents are the local dictators.) A little over two weeks after the second article appeared, the Times published yet another article, this one titled “Another Round of Fee Hikes Sought at UC, Cal State.” Proposed increases for next year were stated as $342 for Cal State (to $1,440) and $650 at UC (to $4,377). The article stated that “administrators of both systems”wanted to raise fees in order to “halt the erosion, of educational quality.” Bullshit. Fees have been going up virtually every year for the past four years, and the quality of education has onlygone down. With these hikes, fees at UCand CSUcampuses will be more than double what theywere in 1989. Given the logic that more money = better education, the CSU and UC systems should be offering twice the quality of education they were four years ago. Instead, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks that the quality of education is even as good as it was four years ago. So why are fees increasing? To pay the salary increases of our poor, starving chancellors and presidents, and other high administratdrs like them! According to the Times, there are 58 administrators in the UC system alone making in excess of $100,00 per year. That’s a m inimum outlay of $5.8 millicfn dollars (the actual figure is closer to $9 million), just for 58 people. We should be firing university presidents and chancellors for gross incompetence, not giving them raises. I can’t understand it. Why should we be giving these people raises? Have they demonstrated their administrative competence by improving (or even maintaining) the quality and cost of public higher education in California? No, they haven’t In feet, in the past four years thing have gone to hell. Instead of giving these people raises, we should be firing them for gross incompetence! Wake up people! The reason that public higher education is failing in California is because it is being run by people who are in it for their own personal advancement, not because they give a shit about providing affordable college education to the California public. President Peltason ($280,000/yr) and Chancellor Munitz ($l49,000/yr) are the inheritors of a system of spoils for the privileged administrator class. From the 43% pay raises that former CSU Chancellor Ann Reynolds and her cronies voted themselves to the $737,000 “severance package”approved by the UC Regents for retiring President David Gardner, it is clear what the prioritiesofthe top administration are: “get it while the gettingis good.”At the bottom of the food chain,as usual, thestudents reap the true reward of this policy: closed programs, fewer classes, outdated lab equipment, libraries with no budgets to buy books, fee increases every year, etc. This has to end! Throw the money-mongers out of temple of education! Demand that the money earmarked for education is spent on education, not on bloated administrative salaries. Demand that no more faculty positions be cut until 20% of UC and CSU administrative positions have been eliminated. Demand a radical restructuring of UC and CSU administration, focusing on decentralizing authority and granting greater autonomy to each campus and department. Demand the elimination, not of academic programs, but of superfluous administrative offices. It’s your education. You’re paying for it. Demand what you deserve. A Guide to Campus Newspapers The Guardian (UCSD) m Published Mondays and Thursdays. The best of the “offi­ cial” campus papers. Reasonably good coverage of campusrelated issues. Overkill on topical issues, such as gays, etc. Too much sports (any is too much), too many ads, too goddamn PC. The Daily Aztec (SDSU) & Published daily during the week. The Daily Spastic is elstinko. Too much sports, too little intelligent writing. Insipid and uninspired coverage of even the most vital campusrelated issues. At a campus this size, you’d think they could find at least one good writer. The You Name It (CSUSM) Published once every two weeks. The You Name It is the successor to the ill-fated Pioneer, which folded after attempt­ ing to address some serious issues. It’s name will change after a permanent name is chosen. Only one issue has come out so far, and it was pretty weak. On the other hand, its editor did interview the editor of Plan 9, so it can’t be all bad. One thing at least: this paper can’t get any worse. The Koala (UCSD) Published periodically. The best of the “unofficial”papers (actually, it’s the only qne we’ve seen so far).

After a long period of apathy, students have begun not only to question but, having arrived at answers, to act on those answers. This is part of a growing understanding among many people in America that history has not ended and that a better society is possible. — Mario Savio, An End to History, December, 1964 One of the most distressing tasks of a university president is to pretend that the protest and outrage of each new generation of undergraduates is really fresh and meaningful. In fact, it is one of the-most predictable controversies that we know. The participants go through a ritual of hackneyed complaints almost as ancient as academe while believing what is said is radical and new. — Clark Kerr, President of the University of California, 1964 One Out of Six Ain’t Bad Department Trillion National Debt) (No Jobs) (Exhausted Economy) Hey You!

(Social Disintegration) (Environmental W ip eo u t)' (A Nice-looking Piece �Charlie Manson Forcibly Removed from Computer Lab The following e-mail exchange took place last February at the nation’s newest university, CSU San Marcos. The players are: Bill Stacy, President of CSUSM, Bill Robinson, former Director of Computing and Telecommunications, and myself, the computer lab manager. I had been directed by Robinson to come up with names for each computer in the labs, with each lab having its own “theme.” The theme I chose for the lab in question was “prominent people from the 60’s.” The main issues raised by this tempest in a teapot are those of censorship and intellectual fascism at public institutions of higher learning. President Stacy s position appears suspect, particularly in light of the furor which resulted from the plan to dedicate the university’s administration building after state Senator William Craven, who, a week before this exchange, had referred to undocumented workers as being “on the lower scale of our humanity.” In retrospect, I would not have removed Manson’s name, thus forcing the university administration to either recognize the value of freedom of expression and thought at a public university or to resort to the use of force to get things their way. Date: 2/15/9311:28 AM From: Bill Stacy To: Rich Millman, Bill Robinsion, Anthony Dunn SimUniversity is the first c omputer simula­ tion of higher education. Rich and Bill, I received a complaint that we have been insensitive in some of the naming of our computer stations in Academic Hall. Apparently we have a series of names to the work stations (probably user friendly or cute). The complaint asked me how I would feel to see Manson in my classroom if I were a friend of one of his victims—or just simply if I thought a university ought to classify Speck or Manson as role models for our mission. I think the complaint is well taken. We have misplaced our sense of humor or whatever our intention was with such names. Could you manage to get the offensive names out of there? And, yes, I know that to the Lab manager and perhaps to others as well, this, too, will sound like censorship or fuel the next sophomoric diatribe against the university — least San Marcos Man. at I can wait for the barrage of crap. But I think there is a boundary of sensitivity to the feelings of folks who are not so amused to see mass murderers glorified or honored in a captive environment.

Tired of reading the During the Second World War the people of Germany invested same old rehashed "things-are-so-messed-up-and-we-don't-know-why-but-buyheavily in a secret plan. This plan was so secret that many Germans ing-this-product-will-make-you-feel-better" crap in magazines and newspapers managed to keep it a secret even from themselves. Except in the highest (not to mention the vast mind-sucking wasteland called TV), we decided to start military and political circles, the plan was never discussed at all. And even our own paper. when it was discussed in high circles, it was discussed in a veiled way. The purpose of Plan 9 is to expand the discussion of the nature, direction and The plan I'm talking about was, of course, the plan to annihilate the future of our society beyond the narrow confines of the American "left" and Jewish race. Though many of them liked to remain silent about it, the people "right." Plan 9 maintains that the mindless consumerism of the past 50 years has of Germany were on the whole behind Hitler in his ambition to rid the world devoured our planet, stolen the future from our children and probably condemned of Jews. They invested a lot in this secret plan. They invested their con­ us, along with a large number of other species, to the ash bin of evolutionary sciences. They invested their place among the family of nations. They invested history. their self-respect. Plan 9 is dedicated to beginning the process of true education among a lost and confused people: us. That education begins by taking control over our own 'opinions," so that we may make truly informed judgements on the ways that we wish to live in the post-consumerist age. As a result, Plan 9 does not discuss which toilet bowl cleaner is 'friendlier to the environment," but whether or not we can afford to use such products at all. As a result, Plan 9 does not accept advertising from commercial interests. We are supported entirely by goodness of the people around us. Plan 9 believes that much of our current technology represents a devil's Well, as we all know, the secret plan failed— the German people lost their and bargain, where short term benefits (whiter teeth, fresher breath, "freeway investment.

Sometimes referred to, in its extjreme form, as "hate speech," "offensive speech" is (we suppose) any verbal or written expression that is found offensive or insulting by someone. Controver­ sies have raged in communities around the country about what to do about offensive speech. Some think that banning such speech will solve the problem. The Constitutions of the State of California and of the United States state that no laws shall be passed limiting freedom of speech. The word "except" does not appear anywhere in either document. Unfortu­ nate as if may seem, this means that neo-Nazis, racists, homophobes, etc., have the right to say their piece. Although there is no doubt that words like "kike," "nigger" and "faggot," are offensive to most people, censoring or banning such speech won't make the problems that these words express go away. Wake up, people! You can't use force to stop hate. Force only breeds hate and fear. Force has never solved anything, settled any issue or ended any hatred. The use of law or policy to ban certain types of expression is only another kind of force. You can't legislate hate, fear or ignorance out of existence. And you can't stop racism, sexism or homophobia by preventing racists, sexists or homophobes from ex­ pressing themselves. So how do you end hatred and fear? By education. People will stop hating and fearing each other when, and only when, they understand the fundamental humanity of all people. We stand here at the cross­ roads in the evolution of humanity, with a choice to either learn to all live together in peace or to perish. But we'll never learn to live together by banning 'offensive speech." Censuring speech is one thing, censoring speech is another. We should always strive to critically examine 'offensive speech" in a constructive, educat­ ing manor; we should never attempt to censor speech no matter how offensive. All people must have the right to express their feelings. To deny that right to anyone is to deny them their fundamental humanity. Nothing will ever change unless we can openly discuss our problems. Plan 9 is dedicated to this principle. Interested in Helping?

Plan 9 was first published last March while I was working at the nation's newest university, Cal State San Mar­ cos. The first university to be built in the United States since 1969, CSUSM represented something not seen by an entire generation of educators: the oppor­ tunity to build a university “from the ground up." As a result, CSUSM was founded upon the highest academic and social ideals. It was to be the "univer­ sity of the 21st century," preparing students "to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity, economic and governmental differences, shared resources, ecological restraints and technological change" (CSUSM Mission State­ ment). This was to be a campus which had learned from the mistakes of the past, eschewed artificial distinctions between faculty, staff and students, and used new technology to its fullest extent; a campus which thrived on discussion, innovation and new ideas. Diversity, tolerance, academic freedom, global awareness and multiculturalism were all catch words frequently used in the same sentence with “CSU San Marcos." Unfortunately, such was not to be. Somewhere along the line, the campus came under the control of a power-hungry bureaucracy, whose goal was (and is) to bring as much of the campus under its direct control as possible. In order to control the expres­ sion of ideas on campus, policies banning posting and limiting free speech were instituted by executive fiat. Students, as usual, were treated as second-class citi­ zens, and faculty were tolerated as poorly behaved children. The idea for Plan 9 came to me one morning at 2:30 while I was watching a CNN Headline News piece on the so-called "zine scene" (don't ask why I was watching CNN in the wee hours of the morning). "Gee," I thought, 'I could publish my own paper!" Within days the first issue of Plan 9, four 8.5 x 11 xeroxed pages, hit the campus. The resulting furor was encouraging, so I pub­ lished another issue. There were four issues in all, covering topics rangingfrom state Senator Bill Craven's racist remarks about undocumented workers (He referred to them as being “on the lower scale of our humanity." Craven, who introduced the bill that created CSUSM, is considered the "Founding Father" of the campus, and as such is considered a sacred cow by the administration.), to freedom of the press, student activism in the 1960's, gays in the military, health effects of exposure to bureaucracy and satiri­ cal pieces on students caught in the administration building without proper papers. In the last issue I took the university president to task for his manifest failure to uphold the campus' mission and for allowing the suppression of the First Amendment at a public university. Two months after Plan 9's debut, I was fired. No reason was given for my dismissal. Of course, I understood the real reason behind my sudden and unexplained termination. Plan 9 had been critical of the administration's handling of the Craven affair, as well as other issues. Plan 9 railed against the explosion of bureaucracy on campus (With a ratio of one staff person to every six students, the administration of CSUSM is bigger than at most universities four times its size.). Plan 9 also staunchly supported the rights of students and encouraged the faculty to stand up for the ideals encoded in the university's Mission Statement. Plan 9, as far as the upper administration was concerned, had caused nothing but trouble.Plan 9, as far as the upper admin­ istration was concerned, had to go. So I was expendable. Aside from the sheer relief of being rid of me and Plan 9, the administration got the added benefit of using my termination as a demonstration of what could happen to you if you rocked the boat. I've been unemployed ever since, but I don't regret what I did. I felt that I had no other choice than to stand up for what I believed to be true/regardless of the consequences. There is no other way for the truth to prevail. s n o is s e s s o p o n e n ig a m i “I’m tellin’ you boyif I catch readin’ this Plan 9 filth one more time, I’m gonna have to haul you in!” �Gays are Just Like People INVASION OF THE by Michael Swanson When I was a child, I was never confused or bewildered about my sexual orientation. Indeed, I thought that I would definitely be damned by God, and, therefore, I kept away from all who attracted me. As I was growing up, however, I realized that my sexuality was not the butt of one of God's cruel jokes. I also abandoned my insistent, but foolish, theory that He might be testing me and my faith. Rather, I focused my energy on more important issues. Issues that I will address here for all. First of all, I must make my intentions clear. They are only to help all others in my situation to become proud of who they are, and, most importantly, to try to relate homosexuality to heterosexuals who misun­ derstand and/or oppose it. I will try to accomplish this by addressing issues which I believe to be most misconceived. tion, some contradiction, or even compromise to this statement. I remember reading about David and Jonathan's love, even about the "disciple that Jesus loved; *but no matter how hard I may have tried to convince myself, in the end, I always knew it wasn't the sort of love, I felt for a man. It took many painful years before I could accept the Bible again, without believing it to be that of a pagan's God. And although the Scriptures don't fully support me, I do not oppose them. For those who enjoy quoting the passages at me, I would like to remind them that the Bible also encourages all of God's children to love each other and accept each other. Spirituality means acceptance of all people, no matter their skin color, race, or sexual orientation. ILLEGAL ALIENS CREEPING HORR from south of the Border...

Viacom (which owns MTV, VH1 and Showtime, see sidebar, next page), though the smaller of the two companies, was to be the buying organization, offering $8.2 billion in stock and cash for Paramount. The combined value of the two com­ panies has been estimated at $18 billion. This merger would create the fourth largest me­ dia conglomerate in the world, and the second largest US-based media corporation (behind Time-Wamer), with annual revenues of over $6.2 m0untbillion.

With such resources, Paramount-Viacom would be in a position to compete directly with Time-Wamer Inc., which has a similar range of holdings (see sidebar next page). The merger announcement set off a frenzy of speculation on Wall Street, driving stock values up and then down, as rumors circulated that Ted Turner of Turner Broadcasting and Barry Diller of the QVC home shopping network were going to attempt to make 'hostile* counter bids for Paramount. Turner ultimately bowed out, leaving QVC to make a $9 5 billion offer. QVC, itself a relatively small company, is backed financially by the first V B S gl and third la , ies in l|U ||j|£ tU ^ country: Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) and Comcast Corp. Though the QVC bid would raise the value of Paramount stocks, Paramount Chairman Martin Davis and his long time friend Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone, were adamant that the Viacom-Paramount mer8er would take place. *n orc* to weaken QVC's bid, Redstone and er en^sted the help of Blockbuster Entertainment Corp. and Cox Enterprises. Each company pledged to invest $600 million in Viacom, increasing Viacom's cash base by the $1.2 billion needed for it to match the QVC offer. As Plan 9 was going to press, the Los Angeles Times announced that Nynex Corp., the nation's fourth largest telehone company (serving New York and New England), had invested another $1-2 billion in Viacom, further strengthening their bid for Paramount. If the merger takes place, these companies will have major in- ^ _ vestment in­ terests in ParamountViacom, creating, in effect, an even larger media conglomerate. Blockbuster, which operates 3,200 Blockbuster Video stores, as well as Sound Warehouse and Music Plus record stores, has an annual revenue of $1.2 billion. Cox Enterprises, which owns five TV and 13 radio sta­ tions, several major newspapers, and Cox Cable (the six largest US cable company), has annual revenues of C 8K Billions of Dollars Sources: Hoover’s Handbook of American Business 1993 & The Los Angeles Times Continued next page It Believes in a Free Press, not a Corporate Press!- �O ctober 1993 P e5 p ag Viacom-Paramount Merger (Cont) $2.5 billion. Nynex, which is the largest cable TV operator in Great Britain, has annual revenues of $13.25 billion. Whoever finally buys Paramount, several things are clear. First of all, Paramount will be tied to a large cable services & TV network company, whether it is Viacom/Cox/Nynex or QVC/TCI/Comcast. Why the interest from the cable companies? Both Viacom and QVC have been pioneers in the realm of "interactive" TV, where viewers can press a button on their remote to select viewing options. In the near future, interactive TV will include the ability to select plot lines in shows, buy goods, vote in polls, etc. In order to provide these services, it will be necessary to set up transmitting, as well as receiving capabilities for each TV. Cable companies have the resources and know-how to do this. That's where the future is for Paramount and its purchasing company. The resulting conglomerate will have all the facilities needed to create, produce and distribute and control its interactive multimedia programming. And when the much-heralded infor- What They Control Viacom mation 'superhighway* is complete, they'll be ready to pour their programming into your tube. Of course, interactive TV is just a transitional phase. The ultimate goal is interactive virtual reality television (VRTV). Three core technologies are required to make VRTV a reality: high-tech production facilities, inter­ active cable switching systems and VR hardware. When the virtual reality revolution comes, Paramount-Whatever will be in an excellent position to lead it, possessing the two most vital elements. VR hardware can be purchased from manufacturers, such as Sony and Matsushita. These companies them­ selves lack only cable distribution channels, so they too are well placed to lead the VRTV revolution. By the time that the VRTV revolution is upon us, there will be even fewer media corporations than there are now. Don't be surprised if Sony and Matsushita attempt to buy a major cable company like TCI or Comcast. Expect most of the major media companies to begin swallowing up little virtual reality and multimedia companies. The Paramount-Viacom merger is just the latest in what will be an accelerating trend as the computer, telecommunications and media industries converge. What it bodes for our society no one seems to care. (Annual f b v e n u e :$ i.f Zen TV MTV Network Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite j The Comely Network {50%-Time-Wamerj .

Virtual Reality is a set of technologies designed to create an artificial, but realistic, reality using computers. Users typically wear a VR headset containing miniature video displays and headphones. Some systems include glove devices so that the user can manipulate the virtual environment and gettactilefeedback. Usersare immersed in a computer generated reality, unaware of their real surroundings. To date, VR technology has been limited by the processing power of computers. But since processing speeds are doubling about every year, by the year 2000, virtual reality will be a mass marketable technology. To see what VR looks like, watch the movie The LawnmowerMan, available on video. If you’re curious astowhat the VR futurewill look like, the Futurological Congress, by Stanislaw Lem, provides a chilling look a future based on arti­ ficial reality.

Source: Christian Science Monitor �p lan1 October 1993 Page 6 Racism Is OK Against Indians by Ward Churchill During the past couple of seasons, there has been an increasing wave of controversy regarding the names of professional sports teams like the Atlanta "Braves," Clevefend 'Indians," Washington “Redskins," and Kansas City "Chiefs." The issue extends to the names of college teams like Florida State University 'Seminoles," University of Illinois “Fighting lllini," and so on, right on down to high school outfits like the Lamar (Colorado) "Savages." Also involved have been team adoption of “mascots,” replete with feathers, buckskins, beads, spears and “ warpaint” (some fans have opted to adorn themselves in the same fashion), and nifty little “pep’ gestures like the "Indian Chant” and "Tomahawk Chop.” A substantial number of American Indians have protested that use of native names, images and symbols as sports team mascots and the like is, by definition, a virulently racist practice. Given the historical relationship between Indians and non-Indians during what has been called the 'Conquest of America,' American Indian Move­ ment leader (andAmerican Indian Anti-Defamation Council founder) Russell Means has compared the practice to contemporary Germans n aming their soccer teams the must be just as hearty in their endorsement of the follow­ ing ideas— the logic used to defend the defamation of by American Indians—should help us all really start yukking it up. First, as a counterpart to the Redskins, we need an NFL team called “Niggers" to honor Afro-Americans. Halftime festivities for fans might include a simulated stewing of the opposing coach in a large pot while players and cheerleaders dance around it, garbed in leopard skins and wearing fake bones in their noses. This concept obviously goes along with the kind of gaiety attending the Chop, but also with the actions of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose team members— prominently including black team members lately appeared on a poster looking “fierce" and “savage" by way of wearing Indian regalia. Just a bit of harmless 'morale boosting," says the Chiefs' front office. You bet. So that the newly-formed Niggers sports club won't end up too out of sync while expressing the “spirit” and “identity" of Afro-Americans in the above fashion, a baseball franchise—let's call this one the “Sambos'— should be formed. How about a basketball team called the “Spearchuckers?” A hockey team called the “ Jungle Bun- We need an NFL team called “Niggers” to honor Afro-Americans. How about a basketball team called the “Spearchuckers?”A hockey team called the “Jungle Bunnies?” Hispanics? They can be represented by the Galveston “Greasers” and the San Diego “Spies.” “ Jews," “Hebrews," and 'Yids,' while adorning their uni­ forms with grotesque caricatures of Jewish faces taken from the Nazis' anti-Semitic propaganda of the 1930s. Numerous demonstrations have occurred in conjunction with games—most notably during the November 15,1992 match-up between the Chiefs and Redskins in Kansas City— angry Indians and their supporters. by In response, a number of players— especially African Americans and other minority athletes— have been trotted out by professional team owners like Ted Turner, as well as university and public school officials, to announce that they mean not to insult but to honor native people. They have been joined by the television networks and most major newsp apers, all of which have editorialized that Indian discomfort with the situation is "no big deal," insisting that the whole thing is just 'good, clean fun.' The country1 n eeds more such fun, they've argued, and “a few d isgruntled Nafive Americans" have no right to undermine the nation's enjoyment of its leisure time by complaining. This is especially the case, some have argued, 'in hard times like these." It has even been contended that Indian outrage at being systematically degraded— rather than the degradation itself— creates 'a serious barrier to the sort of intergroup communication so necessary in a multicultural society such as ours.' Okay, let's communicate. We are frankly dubious that those advancing such positions really believe their own rhetoric, but, just for the sake of argument, let's accept the premise that they are sincere. If what they say is true, then isn't it time we spread such 'inoffensiveness" and "good cheer' around among all groups so that every­ body can participate equally in fostering the round of national laughs they call for? Sure it is—the country can't have too much fun or "intergroup* involvement—so the more, the merrier. Simple consistency demands that any­ one who thinks the Tomahawk Chop is a swell pastime “We just love the convenience of driving! In fact, we love it so much that we’re going to do it until the air is unbreathable, the forests are de­ stroyed by acid rain, our lungs arejDolluted by poison...Why, we’re going to drive until every last drop of •r oil has been sucked from ^ ^3 the ground. After that, who cares? We’ll be dead by then!” nies?" Maybe the "essence” of these teams could be depicted by images of tiny black faces adorned with huge pairs of lips. The players could appear on TV every week or so gnawing on chicken legs and spitting watermelon seeds at one another. Catchy, eh? Well, there's "nothing to be upset about,' according to those who love wearing 'war bonnets" to the Super Bowl or having “Chief Illiniwik' dance around the sports arenas of Urbana, Illinois. And why stop there? There are plenty of other groups to include. “Hispanics?" They can be "represented”by the Galveston “Greasers'ind San Diego "Spies," at least until the Wisconsin “Wetbacks" and Baltimore “Beaners”get off the ground. Asian Americans? How about the “Slopes," “Dinks, *“Gooks,*and “Zipperheads?" Owners of the latter making up the lexicon of American racism. Have we communicated yet? Let's get just a little bit real here. The notion of "fun” embodied in rituals like the Tomahawk Chop must be understood for what it is. There's not a single non-Indian example used above which can be considered socially acceptable in even the most marginal sense. The reasons are obvious enough. So why is it different where American Indians are concerned? One can only conclude that, in contrast to the other groups at issue, Indians are (falsely) perceived as being too few, and therefore too weak, to defend themselves effectively against racist and otherwise offensive behavior. Fortunately, there are some glimmers of hope. A few teams and their fans have gotten the message and have responded appropriately. Stanford University, which opted to drop the name "Indians" from Stanford, has experienced no resulting drop-off in attendance. Meanwhile, the local newspaper in Portland, Oregon recently decided its long­ standing editorial policy prohibiting use of racial epithets derogatory team should include Redskins, for in­ n ames. The s tance, are now referred to as "the Washi ngton team," and will eontinue to be de­ scribed in this way until the franchise adopts an inoffensive moniker (newspaper sales in Portland have suffered no decline as a result). Such examples are to be applauded and encouraged. They stand as figurative beacons in the night, proving beyond all doubt that it is quite possible to indulge in the pleasure of athletics without accepting blatant racism into the bargain. VASHINCTON BEDSKINS Historical Genocide Between the 1880s and the 1980s, nearly half of all Native American children were coercively transferred from their own families, communities, and cultures to those of the conquering society. This was done through compulsory attendance at remote boarding schools, often hundreds of miles from their homes, where native chil- Now, don’t go getting “overly sensitive” out there. None of this is demeaning or insulting, at least not when it’s being done to Indians. teams might get their logo ideas from editorial page cartoons printed in the nation's newspapers during World War II: slanteyes, buck teeth, big glasses, but nothing racially insulting or derogatory, according to the editors and artists involved at the time. Indeed, this Second World War-vintage stuff can be seen as just another barrel of laughs, at least by what current editors say are their 'local standards’ concerning American Indians. Let's see. Who's been left out? Teams like the Kansas City 'Kikes,' Hanover 'Honkies,' San Leandro 'Shylocks," Daytona "Dagos," and Pittsburgh “Polacks" will fill a certain social void among white folk. Have a religious belief? Let's all go for the gusto and gear up the Milwaukee "Mackerel Snappers" and Hollywood "Holy Rollers." The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame can be rechristened the "Drunken Irish" or 'Papist Pigs." Issues of gender and sexual preference can be addressed through creation of teams like the St. Louis “Sluts,” Boston "Bimbos," Detroit “Dykes," and the Fresno “Fags.”Howaboutthe Gainesville "Gimps" and Richmond "Retards," so the physically and mentally impaired won't be excluded from our fun and games? Now, don't go getting 'overly sensitive" out there. None of this is demeaning or insulting, at least not when it's being done to Indians. Just ask the folks who are doing it, or their apologists like Andy Rooney in the national media. They'll tell you— in fact they have been telling as you— that there's been no harm done, regardless of what their victims think, feel, or say. The situation is exactly the same as when those with precisely the same mentality used to insist that Step 'n' Fetchit was okay, or Rochester on the Jack Benny Show, or Amos and Andy, Charlie Chan, the Frito Bandito, or any of the other cutsey symbols dren were kept for years on end while being systematically “deculturated" (indoctrinated to think and act in the manner of Euro Americans rather than as Indians). It was also accomplished through a pervasive foster home and adoption program-including "blind" adoptions, where children would be permanently denied information as to who they were/are and where they'd come from— placing native youths in non-Indian homes. The express purpose of all this was to facilitate a U.S. governmental policy to bring about the "assimilation" (dissolution) of indigenous societies. In other words, In­ dian cultures as such were to be caused to disappear. Such policy objectives are directly contrary to the United Na­ tions 1948 Convention on Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, an element of international law �Racism (cont.) Our Secret Plan (Cont.) arising from the Nuremberg proceedings. The forced 'transfer of the children" of a targeted ‘racial, ethnical, or religious group’ is explicitly prohibited as a genocidal activity under the Convention's second article. don't teach our children this plan, but they know all about it by the time they reach the middle of their schooling. It's The Plan. It's there in place, and we're investing everything we have in it. We're investing our future in it, our children's future in it— genera­ for tions to come. We may actually be investing the future of the human race itself in this plan. Our secret plan is this: We're going to go on consuming the world until there's no more to con­ sume. This does not preclude consuming it "wisely" or consuming it as slowly as possible. It doesn't preclude supporting every conceivable conservation initiative. It doesn't preclude supporting every con­ ceivable means of recycling. We're going to recycle, we're going to conserve— but we're also going to go on consuming until there's no more to consume. We don't know when it will all be gone. We don't want to know— as the people of Germany didn't just want to know what happened to their Jewish neigh­ bors when the Gestapo carried them away. One thing we do know, however: It won't hap­ pen in our lifetime. It probably won't happen in our children's lifetime. It may not even happen in our grandchildren's lifetime. I hope you won't think I'm being self-righteous or The Genocide Convention makes it a 'crime against humanity" to create conditions leading to the destruction of an identifiable human group, as such. Yet the BIA has utilized the government's plenary prerogatives to negoti­ ate mineral leases 'on behalf of' Indian peoples paying a fraction of standard royalty rates. The result has been "super profits" for a number of preferred U.S. corpora­ tions. Meanwhile, Indians, whose reservations ironically turned out to be in some of the most mineral-rich areas of North America, which makes us, the nominally wealthiest segment of the continent's population, live in dire poverty. By the government's own data in the mid-1980s, Indians received the lowest annual and lifetime per capita incomes of any aggregate population group in the United States. Concomitantly, we suffer the highest rate of infant mortality, death by exposure and malnutrition, disease, and the like. Under such circumstances, alcoholism and other escapist forms of substance abuse are endemic in the Indian community, a situation which leads both to a general physical debilitation of the population and a catastrophic accident rate. The average life expectancy of a reservation-based Native American man is barely 45 years; women can expect to live less than three years longer. Such itemizations could be continued at great length, including matters like the radioactive contamination of large portions of contemporary Indian Country, the forced relocation of traditional Navajos, and so on. But the point should be made: Genocide, as defined in international law, is a continuing fact of day-to-day life (and death) for North America's native peoples. Yet there has been — and is— only the barest flicker of public concern about, or even consciousness of, this reality. Absent any serious expres­ sion of public outrage, no one is punished and the process continues. A salient reason for public acquiescence before the ongoing holocaust in Native North America has been a continuation of the popular legacy, often through more effective media. Since 1925, Hollywood has released more than 2,000 films portraying Indians as strange, perverted, ridiculous, and often dangerous things of the past. More­ over, we are habitually presented to mass audiences onedimensionally, devoid of recognizable human motivations and emotions; Indians serve as props, little more. We have thus been thoroughly and systematically dehumanized. Everywhere, we are used as logos, as mascots, as jokes: “Big Chief" writing tablets, "Red Man" chewing tobacco, "Winnebago" campers, 'Navajo and "Cherokee" and “Pontiac" and "Cadillac" automobiles. There are the professional sports teams—not to mention those in thou­ sands of colleges, high schools, and elementary schools across the country— each with their own degrading carica­ tures and parodies of Indians and/or things Indian. Pop fiction continues in the same vein, including an unending stream of New Age manuals purporting to expose the inner works of indigenous spirituality in everything from pseudophilosophical to to-it-yourself styles. Blond yuppies from Beverly Hills amble about the country claiming to be reincarnated 17th century Cheyenne Ushmans ready to( perform previously secret ceremonies. In effect, a concerted, sustained, and in some ways accelerating effort has gone into making Indians unreal, It is thus of obvious importance that the American public begin to think about the implications of such things the next time they witness a gaggle of face-painted and warbonneted buffoons doing the "Tomahawk Chop" at a baseball or football game. Think about the significance of John Wayne or Charleton Heston killing a dozen "savages' with a single bullet the next time a western comes on TV. Think about why Land-o-Lakes finds it appropriate to market its butter with the stereotyped image of an "Indian princess" on the wrapper. Think about the real situation of American Indians.

My point is not at all to make you feel guilty. What I'm proposing is that it's important for us to begin to bring the plan out into the open for a change. I'll tell you one reason why. When the people of the world finally understood the tremendous effort that the people of Germany had put into slaughtering Jews— Gyp­ and sies and homosexuals and the physically and men­ tally handicapped— they said to themselves, "My God, what kind of monsters were these people?”If we continue to pursue our plan to consume the world until there's no more to consume, then there's going to come a day, sure as hell, when our children or their children or their children's children are going to look back on us— you and me— say to themselves, on and "My God, what kind of monsters were these people?" This is an idea that doesn't appeal to me at all. If you're like me and would like to avoid looking like a monster to your grandchildren, then I suggest you stop being silent about our plan to go on consuming the world until there simply isn't any more there to consume.

Walsh believes that funding for education is being used as a political means and the only people to lose are students. "We need a government that is willing to fight. I plan to represent students and meet with the city and the state government and inform them of the needs of the students," Walsh said. "You need someone who is willing to build relationships to ensure that the students are properly represented." Walsh uses the example of Prop. 30 which was passed in the 2012 election. "The government is using education as a political ploy.

Our best interests is in the students," Walsh said. Walsh stated that though he never planned on running for ASI president previously, his interest inclined as he became more involved on campus. "I realized that I can help the university grow and help myself reach the potential by continuing to serve the university as ASI President," Walsh said. In discussing the main issues Walsh witnesses at CSUSM, Walsh said, "The biggest issues that the university and the students have is that the state government is not doing its duties. The California State government is not properly representing the students of CSUSM." STAFF WRITER If a film or television show was to be made portraying the men and women of the CSUSM University Police Department, it likely would not contain many of the exciting elements seen in regular mainstream police dramas. In fact, it probably wouldn't contain any of the less entertaining scenes from a regular episode of "COPS." Despite the pleasant nature of CSUSM, the UPD is on guard at all hours, maintaining a secure campus and keeping an eye on us students. It may not make for a dramatic television show, but that begs the question: which shows or films actually portray police officers in the most realistic way? Also, which cop movies or shows are, so to speak, police-approved? Police Chief Robert G. McManus may be the best man to ask such questions. Besides being the UPD chief and holding a police resume stretching back decades, McManus majored in film at SDSU in the 70s. His eye for film and his lengthy experience as a peace-keeper makes him an ideal critic for police dramas. When asked about police in film and television, Police Chief McManus mentioned the CBS drama "CSI." After investigating a car that had been broken into, Chief McManus was asked by the driver, "Did you get the results?" The victim of the crime was referring to a false understanding of the police process- thinking that' the men and women from "CSI" POLICE CONTINUED ON 2 �News Editor: Melissa Martinez cougarchron.news@gmail.com Cooper argued that the affect of being raised by a samesex couple would lead to emotional injury, regardless of what children believed. Supporters of Prop. 8 also argued that same-sex marriage would harm "responsible procreation," because same-sex couples would not be able to reproduce. Justice Elena Kegan and Cooper both discussed the whether the value of marriage lies in procreation or not, giving examples of marriage being constitutional between couples over the age of 55. W ALSH FROM I that if it involved education, people would fight for it," Walsh said. As well as representing the students of CSUSM, Walsh aims at improving the relationship between the city of San Marcos and campus. Walsh said that one of the successes ASI experienced last fall was building relationships on campus, having all the college representatives meeting with the provost and deans so that students and administration build a communicative relationship. Currently, the San Diego native is majoring in social science and mathematics, while minoring in history c susmchronicle.com and communications with check out our website The justices agreed that there are heterosexual marriages that are unable to procreate or decide not to, which ignited the discussion about elder couples unable to procreate. The next argument consisted of discussing labels, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Reminding the court that the word "marriage" was a label since Calif, has already made strides in creating equal rights for same-sex couples. "It is like you were to say you can vote, you can travel, but you may not be a citi- zen. There are certain labels in this country that are very, very critical," Olson said. With the discussion continuing, the justices considered issues of when same-sex marriage became unconstitutional, explored the idea that same-sex marriage was "newer than cell phones and the Internet." Chief Justice Roberts Jr. reminded the court that children from same-sex marriages are at no disadvantage than children of opposite-sex couples when Donald B . Verrilli stated that the cost was a lack of a stabilizing effect, creating the children to develop an emotional issue of being raised by same-sex" parents. The argument consisted of the justices each asking critical questions for the opponents to consider using history of segregation to defend their arguments.

The development of the eBook, or digital book, makes it easier to read about every topic imaginable and is used by millions around the globe. Publishing technology has entered the world of the Internet, and a potential global market can take a previously unknown author to a best-selling writer overnight. The eBook genres, similar to physical .novels, range from fiction to biographical, and anyone with a desire to write can share their thoughts and inspire. When looking for a topselling author who can move people, we don't have to go further than CSUSM. Freshman Katlin Sweeney earned the distinction of becoming one of Amazon's best selling authors in the Children's Sports Biography section at the age of 18. She was motivate^ by her experiences with competitive sports, what she saw in high school and her love for her father. "I was inspired by my experiences playing competitive club and high school volleyball," Sweeney said. Now 19, Katlin was influenced to attend CSUSM by professor and former department chair of Literature and Writing Studies, Professor Martha Stoddard-Holmes. "What's distinctive about Katlin, aside from her strengths as a writer, are her persistence and sense of focus, those are key qualities for anyone who wants to publish," Professor Stoddard-Holmes said. Yet Sweeney's story doesn't end there. It's really a story of her love for her father, Tim Sweeney, who suffers from Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and is her editor. "The book is dedicated to my Dad, somebody who has supported me no matter how good or bad I was at volleyball and has taught me more about life than I can ever repay in my lifetime," Katlin said. "The Bench Sitter" is a novel that is a real-life parallel to Katie's own experiences and observations as a bench sitter on her high-school volleyball team. It portrays the world of Katie through a lens that can be easily identifiable to the reader. People have depth, situations are real and the lens is clear. Katlin's story will also take you back in time to when someone cheered you on at a sporting event. Katlin's father shared his "John Wooden approach" of parenting, where he treats his kids as adults rather than talking down to them. In the hour I spoke to Tim Sweeney, I was motivated to looking at writing a book. His inspirational thoughts and sharing of knowledge led him to be a highly regarded writer, which has transferred to the younger Sweeney. Katlin first published "The Bench Sitter" in August of 2011, a week before she began her senior year at Great Oak High School in Temecula. The following month, she learned her book was a best seller in the category of Children's Sports Biographies. Her book continued to be on the best sellers list and Katlin is making a name for herself in a market that has been traditionally dominated by much older adults and seasoned professionals. She is unmatched with 19 months on Amazon's Best Sellers List as of April 4,2013, with her book crossing into two other best sellers lists during that time frame as well. While Tim Sweeney has lived through a difficult 12 years of ill health, Katlin has a passion for life, and it's the love for her father that drives her as a writer and as a human being. Katlin told me of how her relationship Katlin Sweeney with her Father, Tim, holding her novel, "The Bench Sitter." Photo by Anne Hall strengthened with her father as she wrote "The, Bench Sitter." . "With his illness, we make the most of every day and our family appreciates time spent together," Katlin said. Tim Sweeney has been very successful with his marketing business and his self-publish knowledge has helped move Katlin into uncharted waters for her age. What I find mature in Katlin is that she does not concern herself with the sales of the book. She has focused herself on her next book, which she is keeping quiet about. "I find it to be a very relatable story. I think we all have felt that we don't belong and kind of just hope someone will be nice enough to actually talk to us. She's truly descriptive, which I like. It helps illustrate a good pic- ture of all the personalities, what she's feeling and everything around her," CSUSM student Karla Reyes said. "Social media presents another outlet for written expression, another way to start writing and keep writing—which is what good writers do: read a lot and write a lot. There are no shortcuts, and Katlin knows that—she works at her craft, and it shows," StoddardHolmes said. "The book's events happened, but the characters were changed to make sure nobody's identity was given away. All of the characters in the book are created from two or more people that I have encountered throughout my career that had similar qualities. This was done to teach readers about the kinds of players/coaches that par- ticipate in sports, not to bash specific girls and coaches," Katlin said. "When girls are growing up they are "Daddy's little girl," then they eventually connect to mom. At some point they come back to their fathers, with the knowledge fathers share with their daughters," Tim Sweeney said. Such is the case I find with Katlin. Katie is a freshman writer, loving daughter, and is very humble. She has a personal narrative that reminds us all of what matters the most in our lives, which is the love for family. Katlin Sweeney may not be a starter on a volleyball team, but she's successful as an author.

A rmy R OTC: Unique program for those considering serving their country B Y R YAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER Army ROTC is the right program for students who may want something specific out of college, and possess or are interested in qualities such as ambition, organization and physical stamina. It may seem strange that on a campus so close to both Camp Pendleton and San Diego, the on-campus Army ROTC program is so young. But despite its brief presence on campus, ROTC has offered a lot to CSUSM and its students. The Army ROTC program is relatively new to CSUSM and is partnered with the San Diego State University Army ROTC program. The purpose of ROTC is to train cadets in the skills they will need to become officers in the United States Army. It functions primarily as a leadership program meant to turn students into better adults and leaders. In addition to a class twice a week, the group tries to meet for Physical Training in the morning three times a week, with tactical leadership lab participation once a week.

President Haynes has also been involved with the creation of the office, being one of the strongest supporters of ombuds from the very beginning. Since January 2013, the Ombuds Office has shifted from a single advisor structure to featuring multiple Interims, advisors that work together to help visitors that come into the office. The four members of ombuds all bring something unique to O MBUDS CONTINUED ON 4 �T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL IO, 2 0 1 3 4 OMBUDS FROM 3 the office, each having their own specialties that allow them to advise a variety of topics. They are trained*to be better listeners, unbiased and are able to separate their Ombuds position from their other jobs and positions on campus. Visitors can also decide if they want to be advised by a man or woman and which interim ombuds is the right personality match for them. The interim ombuds are Dr. Martha Stoddard-Holmes, a literature and writing studies professor and former department chair, Fritz Kreisler, lead psychologist at CSUSM since 1992 and Rodger D'Andreas-Wahl, a therapist, professor, overseer of ASI and influential CSUSM staff member. The ombuds advisor is Michelle Hunt, overseeing the interim ombuds and helping them advise difficult or challenging cases. "The idea was that with the interim appointments, they wanted multiple people who know the campus really well. I have been here since 2001 and am familiar with the campus. I work with students and staff," D'Andreas-Wahl said. "Martha Stoddard-Holmes works with students and % faculty. Fritz meets with faculty and staff. Every visitor has two options, under the current plan, with three [Interims] in terms of who they can meet with." Everything that is said to an Interim is kept confidential unless it poses an imminent risk to that person, someone else or is a clear violation of the law. While ombuds does not seek to replace other offices or services on campus, it gives students, staff and faculty an alternative route when discussing or resolving issues. Unlike Student Health and Counseling Services, òmbuds does not focus mainly on psychological issues. Visitors have been advised on topics such às ways to achieve better success in a class, personality clashes with a professor or student, deciding if they are going to stay at CSUSM and staff getting along better with a supervisor. The Interims do not act on behalf of the visitor or enforce consequences against people that are mentioned during sessions. The visitors must change the situation themselves, however Interims may help facilitate conversations between disagreeing parties if thè visitor requests help in that way. CSUSM staff and faculty can also feel comfortable discussing issues in the workplace, no conversations that involve their boss or coworkers being repeated to anyone outside of the office. "I'm interested in hearing people's stories. As a researcher, I am really interested in problem solving. Sometimes my problems are intellectual, but the love of problems and puzzles help me want to solve the puzzles of the daily lives on campus," Stoddard Holmes said. "My personal goal is to have everyone who comes into the office leave in a better place than they started and to know that there is somebody to help and to listen. I want to empower them to help themselves, to understand what resources are at this university and for them to have a plan of action that they can implement when they leave," Hunt said.

It places the burden of punishment' and ostracization on the victim and often makes it difficult if not impossible for the victim to receive validation that what they did wasn't their fault. Rape culture is getting a lot of heat to be erased from the world, especially in light of the Steubenville, Ohio rape case where two teen football players were found guilty of rape on March 17. It's certainly high-time to do away with the pressure on the victim and to place pressure on the suspect. Of course, a suspect has (some) rights. Just as well as that is said, a victim has rights—rights that were taken away from them in the the people who they hang commitment of the crime out with scrutinized, their upon them.

They committed choice of clothing dissected, rape and will have to face the consequences. Furthermore, while victim blaming, just like rape, can be perpetrated by any gender and against any gender, statistics do state thai most instances of rape are crimes against women. This fact and the prevalence of rape culture and victim blaming are not a simple coincidence. Women are objectified and victimized during their rape, then victimized all over again by society in the aftermath. The crime and following hatred is more than just violence - it is frank misogyny, and only by offering basic human decency can progress b e made. There are many things that everyone should do if they are a part of the community surrounding any victim when the tragedy of rape occurs: D on't make the victim feel guilty. D on't place the fate of the suspects' futures in the hands of the victim. D on't give the victim the supposed role in deciding the suspects' future in the f ull view of a critical and unsympathetic public. It may be hard to imagine if it hasn't happened to you, but keep this in mind. The harsh nature of this case can be applied to a lot of mirror scenarios. Imagine you are just the normal you, going about your business. Imagine you were robbed on the street, your wallet or purse taken from you in broad daylight. Imagine the police caught this robber and they were arrested. Now, imagine this. You are called into question. They ask you why you were in the position to be robbed f rom, why you let it happen. Couldn't you have stopped it? You should have been more prepared for something like that to happen if you expecting to be out where robbers were, they may say. Maybe you shouldn't have had a flashy purse or a wal- Cougar Asks: W hat is an April Fool s joke you ve had pulled on you? At \A /I , «, A' r 1* *1 9 t t »11 1 let with money in it. Perhaps you wanted your stuff to be stolen. Perhaps you were asking for someone to come along and relieve you of your things. Doesn't feel that great, does it? Although there are most likely students who walk around the CSUSM campus in fear that they might be raped, no ^student should have to feel this way, especially on a campus that has been recognized multiple times as being so safe. There is hope that this doesn't happen, and there is hope that none of us are in danger of the fear of not being believed when something so horrible could happen to us. That is not to say that it will or is going to. However, we must be careful. As much as it needs to be made clear that rape is not tolerated in any way, that still doesn't keep it f rom happening.

B Y J ESSIE G AMBRELL O PINION E DITOR If you aren't a "Super Senior" yourself, I am sure you know one. For those of you who may not know, a Super Senior is someone who reached senior status one, two or maybe three years ago but has not graduated because they have hot completed their requirements, You may think, %eU dne year is not too bad, some people just take a lighter course load than others. However, what if the lighter load isn't the reason for making Super Seniors. Perhaps the main reason is the various unit caps put in place? University unit caps restrict student to a specific amount of units a student can hold, therefore limiting the amount of classes they can take. Of course universities have faij- reasoning behind these limits, thè reason being allowing all of the students to have the chance to sign-up for classes, but the fact of the matter is that when you limit the amount of units a student can sign up for, it can greatly delay their college career. For at least the last three years, CSUSM has put a 13-unit cap oh all incoming freshmen. Do you know what this is doing to this entire generation of incoming freshmen? As my academic advisor instructed myself and fellow freshmen on orientation day, you must take five classes a semester in order to graduate on time. But if the school is only restricting you to roughly four classes a semester in your first year, how are you suppose to accomplish this? Beats me. So what do we do now? Well my own personal plan is to take summer courses to make up for the lost time. If I take two summer classes a year at either CSUSM or a local community college, then even if I take four classes during the regular semester, I can still be able to catch up and graduate on time. Otherwise, it looks like our only other options are to become Super Seniors and be perpetual students with the rest of the youngins until it has been finished. Are you irked by the unit caps?

Listening to the albums could only be conveyed as a personal journey everyone should experience. Though the breakup is devastating for fans everywhere, the split isn't a total shock. Since the band hasn't released an complete album in a few years, MCR had a few choices: to release an amazing album that would inevitably change lives (like they've done before>or call it a day and end their run on great terms. Unfortunately, they chose the latter. However, myself and fellow fans will always remember the impact MCR made to music. We can agree with the band'sfinalmessage stating, "Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends.

These consist of a family friendly show and an adult show that follows. Although the players vary in every show, one of the main players is Nicole Hernandez, who has been on the team since spring 2010. The theater major took the time to sit down and answer some questions for us. Question: What is your favorite thing about being on the team? Answer: My favorite thing about being on the team is that we're like a fun little family. It's really great to be able to spend a lot of time with them and get to' do fun things like playing pretend. Q: What struggles have you experienced while on the team? A: Making sure the momentum keeps going. We'll* go through stretches of time where we don't bring in as much of an audience as we usually do and that's always tough to figure out how to bring people back. And also making sure that it's able to continue as more and more people start graduating. Q: What do you see yourself doing after college? A: It would be fun to con- ^ tinue improv. I don't want to give up on it but I also don't want to go into it as a career. I want to either be a theater teacher or run a theater of my own. Q: What is your favorite skit or perform? A: My favorite game t o ^ play is Blind Line. It's really* fun to see what lines the audience comes up with. It's one of those games that can get really random and strange. �A & E Editor: Juliana Stumpp cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, A PRIL I O, 2 0 1 3 A &E S tudent fls "A S fring g reek T Qie" b y Pölitz Or£m& ^m* f\Ucr C teftT& O M GSSD c My guess is that she didn't get very far in the gome.

"Regret in Triptych" highlights the story of Andros Koresh, a man searching for information about the recent death of his wife. However, the only person who, m ay hold the clues he is looking f or is his ex-girlfriend. Instead of a storyline based around the traditional love triangle, "Regret in Triptych" focuses on a love square where the spouses of the two main characters are also involved in the story. Much of the inspiration behind the novel comes from Wesley's past experiences and the fact that his ex-girlfriend is now his best friend in real life. "The way [that the main character Andros] responds to stuff is very much [like] me. He thinks the way I do, although he does things I wouldn't do. The other characters are composites of certain people I know," Wesley said. Art history classes that Wesley took are what ultimately inspired the title of the novel. "The book is three chapters, hence the word 'triptych.' It's kind of playing off of the historic meaning of triptych, which is usually in churches, where a painting is done in three panels. In this story, I took that concept of three panels and three chapters.

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.

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). SUSTAIN ABILITY SERIES Environmental Studies major leads to many varied career paths B Y COLLIN V AZ FEATURES EDITOR Environmental Studies is a new major available to students and was covered in The Sustainability Edition of The Cougar Chronicle.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Lucas Dunn was a CSUSM student who tragically passed away on May 17, 2013, before he was going to leave to study abroad in Aix-enProvence, France in the fall. Dunn's life was cut short while he was rock-climbing; a rock went loose and hit him. Although he wore a helmet and harness, it ended O UR N EXT ISSUE May 7 , 2 0 1 4 Email us at* c susm.cougarchronicle@gmail.com his life. Dunn was one of Professor Anover's French students in her French 201 class in Fall 2011. "Lucas sat in the back of the class with a permanent smile on his face. The first time he spoke (in French!), I was surprised by his deep voice coming from a very young face. And his French was beautiful," Anover said. Professor Anover felt Dunn would be the perfect candidate to study abroad in France. "I always mention to my students the importance of studying abroad and how it is a life changing experience. I give my students full support and help them prepare their trip abroad along with my wonderful colleagues in Global Education," she said. Because Dunn was unable to make it to France, Anover. decided to create a memorial scholarship to help fund students to go to France and study abroad. With the permission of Lucas' parents, Kathy and A1 Dunn, Professor Anover was able to begin raising money for the memorial scholarship. To create an endowment with Cal State San Marcos, Anover and the French Club must raise $25,000. "An endowment is permanent. Cal State San Marcos will give a percentage of the funds ($25,000 is the minimum) for life. Lucas will be "immortalized" for life. A small consolation that will never replace Lucas, but such a big help for the students who need financial support to go abroad," she said. Currently, they have raised $10,000 and hope to reach their goal by 2015. They are currently organizing events for next year to help in their fundraising. In the Fall, the French Club will hold a "garage8 sale" on campus and in the Spring, Professor Anover hopes to have a 5K run/walk. To make a donation for the scholarship you can go to http://www.csusm.edu/giving/makeyourgift .html (select "other" and write "Lucas Dunn Memorial Scholarship" in the box "I would like to make my gift to support" and then type in the name of the scholarship.

The grand opening is being called "The Beat: See it! Hear it! Feel it!" because of it's "heartbeat" function to the campus. The union has brought together students, clubs and other organizations to create more sense of a community. Students have expressed the USU gives more of a college feeling to the campus. "The USU is a great spot for commuters on campus to hang out between classes and get some lunch or snacks! I love going in the USU because it's really nice and comfortable," commuter, & student, Savanah McPhillips said. Sigma Chi member Jared Johnson said that despite the food prices, the USU is the focal point of the campus and makes Cal State San Marcos feel more like a university. "I went to the Frozen movie and felt like everyone enjoyed it," he said. The showing of Disney's Frozen'was one of 12 events CSUSM celebrations were at their best during theribboncutting ceramony.

"Since I had never seen Frozen, it was really cool to be able to go to the USU with not only fellow classmates but with members of the community. It was a definitely a success," women's golfer, Casanadra Stevenson said, with over 300 people showing up to attend the film. Initially, USUAB had anticipated 100 attendants for the event. The amphitheater was nearly as filled for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony where student athletics, Greek life, student organizations, faculty, staff, alumni and community members gathered in anticipation. The USU has enjoyed tre- mendous success thus far with their grand opening events. These have included Commuter Appreciation Day, where students that drive to school were given food as they explored the new USU Commuter Lounge. Another was the Art fUSUion event, where a local artist led an art class which kicked off this new program on campus. There also was USU Unplugged, which will also become a series, where students played acoustic songs.

Photo by Anne Hall. Parking prices weigh on student body Students held responsible for parking structure expense B Y A NNE H ALL DESIGN EDITOR Students, faculty and staff alike are frustrated as parking prices continually add to the financial burden of attending CSUSM. Since the completion of the 487,000 square foot parking structure in July 2010, Parking and Commuters Services has been trying to make up for the $27 million expense of erecting the additional 1,605 parking spaces that were made available by the six floors of parking that exist on the north end of campus. Decisions to create the parking structure were finalized by the administration to accommodate the projected growth of student attendance since 2002. Parking fee plans held what was called a parking service open f orum to inform campus community of the population growth. Students had addressed their disapproval of the development plans, according to Alexander Hoang, former ASI President. The students' disapproval was measured against the issue of the progressive growth, with the vote to move forward with these plans siding with the university. These plans for projected fees resulted in a decision to establish parking fee increases as of January 2003, Fall 2006 and Fall 2009 for students and other permit holders for the sake of providing additional parking over time. Along with these plans came an expense projection to open a second parking structure between 2015 and 2016 to add an additional 1,200 parking spaces "without future drastic fee increases," according to the Parking Fee Plan (3 Tier), which can be found at www.csusm. edu/parking/parkingfeeplanthreetier.html.

With that being said, it's fitting that a college campus offer a business class that is focused on this market, and CSUSM is doing just that. Business professor, Dr. Vassilis Dalakas, teaches CSUSM's sports marketing class. Dr. Dalakas received his doctorate in marketing from the University of Oregon where he was involved with their Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. Between the many sports marketing studies he has conducted and his own personal passion for sports, Dr. Dalakas is more than qualified to lead GSUSM's efforts within this realm. "It's only a two unit class, we are hoping to turn it into a four unit class to do more, but the focal point is mostly Photo of the Dalakas family visiting the Sports Center Studio provided by marketing to the fan and the Dr. Vassilis Dalakas. basics of sponsorship and licensing," Dr. Dalakas said.

The comparison found that wearing the Oakland Raiders shirt in Chargers' territory drastically decreased the amount of assistance received. For the many students interested in pursuing a career in the sports industry, they need to keep in mind that it is extremely competitive. The positive thing is that numerous companies are heavily involved in this mar- ket in regards to advertising through sports. "A more creative way to get into those sport related careers would be to get jobs with regular companies that have a very strong sports presence. You could be doing sports marketing while working for Home Depot or American Express," Dr. Dalakas said. You have to be williiig to start at the bottom and work your way to the top. Dr. Dalakas likes to remind his students that the president of ESPN started in the mail room. i Ì ] •Hfl R ecap b enefits of super f oods Cowles Mountain for the lunar eclipse Nutrient-dense indicates the ratio of nutrients per calorie: vitamins, minerals, Super foods are dense in antioxidants and phytonutrinutrients that benefit health ents.

Clear days even gift views of Catalina, San Clemente and Baja, and they are the perfect reward to hikers who accept the challenge to reach the summit. The trail to the summit boasts nearly a 1,000 ft. elevation gain. However, the trail has plenty of rocks and several steep steps that demand a bit of caution. The hike is quite popular and can also be trekked at night. During the recent lunar eclipse, hikers' flashlights dotted the trail lighting up the mountain like stars in the sky. Many hikers converged on the summit to watch as the shadow grew across the moon and turned it from bright white to a glowing piiik. There is a parking lot and restrooms located at the trailhead but no facilities are on the summit. Four-legged friends are permitted to hike the trail and can be seen navigating the terrain like pros. The entire route from trailhead to summit and back is a three mile journey. With awesome views plus challenging terrain, this hike can be summed up as very gratifying. Earn your Master of Professional Accountancy.

It was Dr. Todd Astorino's influence that sparked Edmunds' accelerating interest in thé fitness and Kinesiology fields. In Astorino's KINES 326 Intro to Exercise Physiology course, Edmunds worked as a teaching assistant to instruct students with machines and as a research assistant for a study that is currently undergoing review. He ended up continuing as a research assistant for three years and became a teaching assistant for Dr. Sean Newcomer for two years. "Dr. A has pushed me to grow. He throws me outside my comfort zone and has kept pushing me to get more passionate about the program and everything we can do at CSUSM and with the body," Edmunds said. "Dr. Newcomer has influenced me to be in the best aerobic shape of my life. He has made it one of the highlights of my week to go out and run. Sean's enthusiasm and passion for learning has inspired Ross Edmund tandem skydiving, provided by himself. me.

Auditions are usually held once a semester, after the first show. Those who audition are put through a series of games. Downs explains that students aren't "judged on how funny they are, or even how good they are." They are looking for people who are able to "work well on stage or can work on a team and get along with other people ." President Ryan Downs explains that the club "holds shows where people on the team will get on stage and take suggestions from the audience and based on those suggestions we'll play games, we'll build scenes, characters and we'll just try and make the audience laugh."

The celebration features events, lectures, film showings and gatherings throughout the month, bringing together the school's LGBTQ community in unity with its allies on campus. This all, of course, leads up to the famed Pride Walk parade on May 1. Gaypril is split into four different weeks, with each week focusing on a different subculture in LGBTQ. With the first and second weeks focusing mainly on gay and lesbian subcultures (respectively), the upcoming weeks in the month will focus on some of the more marginalized and less culturally prevalent LGBTQ groups. This includes third week events concerning Bisexual and Queer issues and a fourth week dedicated to transgender issues. During the third week, the center plans on hosting events to raise awareness of problems faced by those in the bisexual community; including marginalization by both straight and gay cultures that do not understand them, the problems associated with actively avoiding a label to one's lifestyle and the increasing stigma of HIV. The fourth week, which focuses on transgender issues, includes the screening of Trans visible, a documentary about famed transgender activist Bamby Salcedo, who, along with director Dante Many businesses, state and government agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations attended the April Job Fair.

Ride Along with University Police Department proves to be exciting experience for aspiring student B Y N ADA SEWIDAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER After accompanying Police Officer David Angulo on a three hour policeride-alongI learned why CSUSM is recognized as one of the safest campuses in'the state of California. . It was 8 p.m. on a Friday night. I was eager and wideeyed listening intently to the officer as he gave me a tour of the facility. He led me through narrow hallways, scanning his badge to gain access to locked doors . "The campus police office is equivalent to a full blown police department," Officer Angulo said. The CSUSM campus police facility is equipped with two holding cells and one padded cell. There's also the evidence locker where officers are trained on how to book weapons, drugs and other illegal items in possession. Hie officer then led me inside an interrogation room with a two-way mirror. There were also cubicles, conference rooms, lockers and even a little gym in the back of the facility. Officers on patrol work 12 hour shifts and rotate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. while graveyard officers^ patrol from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m! During my ride-along, I accompanied Officer Angulo on his graveyard shift. I rode shotgun, next to a literal shotgun, which he immediately showed me how to unlock. I needed to know how to unlock it in case anything happens he said to me. The officer's job is to patrol on campus and outside of campus explained Angu- deter people from reaching campus and thus preventing any incidents on campus.

"If a student on campus commits a crime we have the power of helping them out when they make a mistake," Angulo said. If an incident occurs, a student has two options, either get arrested, or in certain cases answer to the Dean of Students. Sometimes it is better to hit the students with what Officer Angulo calls the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law. "I understand they are college students and are young, and sometimes they make mistakes and that's why we have to tailor to people differently here than other places," Angulo said.

"Only men can be sexist." Have you heard either of these statements before and not used ironically? I certainly have not, until I attended a lecture at our campus Gender Equity Center earlier this semester. Before the lecture I thought that racism and sexism were simply defined as the discriminations based on race and sex respectively. The GEC kindly explained Blog posted on September 2013 about the show, Dads, portraying ultimate that their definitions of the discriminatory offenses at http://www.kissmywonderwoman.com/2013/09/ pilot-season-dads-racism-sexism-ageism.html. words, which I understand is also taught in some Women's just a way for people to ra- tragedies, but some people Studies courses, also include tionalize racism and sexism do not see it that way.

However, many people do not understand the severe side effects associated to whitening treatments. In 2009, the Journal of Dentistry published a study stating the harmful effects of tooth whitening. Over the counter treatments often have painful effects on the gums. Over whitening can cause the gum line to recede, bleed and become inflamed. Excessive whitening can also lead to sensitive teeth and enamel depletion. Enamel depletion is the most harmful side effect, as it may lead to severe internal tooth decay. There are several holistic remedies for tooth whitening. The benefits from using natural products are that they are more affordable and have little to no side effects. Coconut oil pulling is one of the most effective natural remedies for whitening teeth. When using this remedy, take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish in your mouth for 10 to 15 minutes. Push the oil through the teeth when swishing. Brushing with baking soda has an amazing whitening effect, but when brushing with it be sure to only use this solution once a week. Baking soda can cause minor irritation to the gums if used excessively. Swishing daily with food grade hydrogen peroxide is another affordable and effective remedy. Ultimately, when it comes to tooth care it is best to use remedies that are naturopathic and that will not cause one's oral health to be compromised. The holistic remedies as mentioned above are especially convenient for college students who are looking to save money any way they can. Instead of spending your money on teeth whitening items that can cause harm to teeth, I advise to spend a lot less on a more effective, safer and simpler natural product.

Science fiction imagines our future world. It imagines a future where humanity seeks life in the stars, fascinated by and celebrating our differences rather than shunning them. This genre calls up a sense of wonder for technology and exploration that we might not revel in today but could well tomorrow. Science fiction is the human testament to our ability to hope. But there is a darker side to this genre. As desirable as it is to envision a shining future, science fiction easily provides accurate social commentary on the nature of man. At times we must b e forced to confront the fact that the more things change, the more things stay the same. Orson Scott Card creates an air of shivering realism in his novels. The most famous of w hich,inder's Game, has long been considered one of the most renowned works of science fiction for the past 30 years. However, it is the sequel to this novel that deserves the brunt of the accolades. Speaker for the Dead takes place 3000 years after Ender's Game, and the titular character, Ender Wiggin, seeks redemption for the genocide he committed during the war. Space travel has allowed Ender to freeze his body in stasis, letting Ender search the universe. His journey leads him to a Portuguese colony on the planet Lusitania, where new alien life has been discovered. Pig-like in appearance yet communicative, there may be hope for humanity to redeem itself with this new alien race. But fear of the unknown and the colony's firm hold on Catholic ideals threaten to damage their relationship. Ender must intervene before humankind makes the same mistake, destroying Lusitania in the process. Speaker for the Dead is a gorgeous novel. It addresses issues that humans face today while teaching tolerance and accepting the different. There is no science fiction novel more worth the read and I highly recommend it to all. This novel has won two prestigious science fiction awards, the Nebula Award and the Hugo award, since its publication.

Some critics such as Entertainment Weekly's Jessica Shaw stated "Hemlock Grove takes its time with story lines, ensuring that each one has plenty of room to ripen.

I have to unfortunately agree with the latter; I found Henilock Grove to be unbelievably frustrating and confusing with its multiple plots and storyline twists.

I talked to multiple people about the show and those that have read McGreevy's book seemed to have a lot better things to say about it than those that had not. Maybe that's the part that I 'm missing, but it felt like a low budget horror flick with a cast they just threw together to see how their mess of a story line would work.

I do however encourage other students to get involved in this movement in order to push forward a culturally intelligent and equitable campus inclusive of all." Returning Golden Boy - Captain America 2 B Y L EXY PEREZ STAFF WRITER Every year, we find ourselves listening to Tony Stark's witty comments as he puts on that iron suit, admire Thor's ability to be a masculine "Goldie Locks," root for Peter Parker as he is trapped in a "web" and watch the Hulk turn into a big, green guy, who clearly needs some anger management classes. Out of all the superheroes, Captain America is the only one that seems to be the epitome of what we aspire to be and hold principles that we should abide by: to be true to who you are and stand for what , you believe in. In this year's first superhero return to the big screen, "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" delivers everything that every Marvel Fan would hope: Visual effects, gut-wrenching action sequences and familiar faces such as the characters Black Widow and Nick Fury. The film, reintroduced Steven Rogers (Chris Evans) as the once scraggy soldier who transformed into a "macho man" with super strength, speed, abs of steel and, not to mention, glowing skin and pearly white teeth that makes-you wonder whether he is a long lost relative of Edward Cullen, Mr. Clean and Barbie Ken. Dedicated to stopping Hydra's evil plan to control humanity, with assistance from Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and his new friend Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Rogers is forced to battle the bad guys, while questioning the loyalty of the U.S. government and his S . HI .E .L .D. headquarters. Adding more drama, Captain America is acquainted with Keanu Reeve's lookalike, the Winter Soldier, a mysterious assassin questioned to be a familiar face from his past. Sometimes it gets old to watch the typical battle between the good and bad guys. Call me old-fashioned, caregiver/ Child Care Worker: WÊÊÊÊÊcare, supervision, training to & criminal background check, C A '- Driver's License & but I can't help but prefer a film with a genuine story rather than one that focuses purely on Hollywood glitz and glam and who can throw a punch better. Although the film is nothing short of being an enjoyable, edge of your seat "Superhero" tale, it is the hidden vulnerability of the story that makes it all that much better. As Captain America battles new enemies, he consistently expresses his loyalty to only doing what he thinks is right for himself and society, refusing to let anyone convince him otherwise. Being that Marvel already confirmed future installments, it is pointless to add dramatics over whether Rogers will survive at the end of the film. At times it can almost seem as if the film is a documentary on Rogers' new transformation to being the American Yoda (Becoming Society's guidance and Patriotic "force"). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," is proof that a sequel can outdo the original. The Avenger becomes an admirable and likeable hero, proving to be more than just a handsome man that can throw a shield. �A & E Editor: Faith Orel no cougarchron.arts@gmail.com Life of a Nursing Student &Z: Nursing S t u d e n t 29/7 By Kate Chiilan One night, I woke up t o a sudden sharp pain in my b ock. pain is «xpsrienocd wh«n tapping on the area of the back that lies aver the kidneys.

Along with revealing a number of returning veteran fighters, Sakurai also unveiled a few new characters joining the fray for the first time: Villager from Animal Crossing, the Wii Fit Trainer and, perhaps the most exciting of all, Capcom's superstar cyber hero, Mega Man. Since then, Sakurai has slowly but surely showed little details about the game as development went on, primarily through the pictures he posts on Miiverse. Over the course of these past 10 months since Smash Bros. 4 was unveiled for the first time, they announced several returning characters including Olimar of the Pikmin series, Lucario from Pokemon and, much to Smash Bros. Brawl fans' delight, Sega's blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog. In addition, Sakurai also revealed two new characters: Rosalina and Luma of Super Mario Galaxy and Little Mac from Punch Out, who was an Assist Trophy character in the previous installment of the franchise. On April 8, Sakurai devoted a full, 40-minute-long Nintendo Direct to release even more information about the highly anticipated Smash Bros. 4. Here he presented several new aspects of the game, including the differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions. The most recognizable of these are: stages and game modes. When Sakurai said that the two versions would have different stages, he wasn't kidding. As far as anyone can tell right now, the only two stages the two games have in common are the franchise's signature stages: Battlefield and Final Destination. tMk * WdáÁ SMASH BR/ÉÇ' NINTENDO 3 DS X Sakurai also showed a game mode exclusive to the 3DS port: Smash Run, where four players compete in a unique competition involving a race for power buffs that will be used in a match following said race. Other than that, Sakurai also talked about new and returning Assist Trophy characters from Brawl, including Andross (Star Fox), Knuckle Joe (Kirby), Nintendog, Skull Kid and Midna (Legend of Zelda), Dark Samus (Metroid), Chain Chomp (Super Mario), Elec Man (Mega Man), and a rather hilarious trophy called "Color TV-Game 15" that, as far as Sakurai shows, is a large game of Pong taking place on the stage, knocking the players around. Although it's on the same plane as every other franchise represented, Pokemon has a special place in Smash Bros in terms of items. Whether a new fan .or old, every player knows the value of a PokeBall. If one drops onto the stage, the reaction of everyone is the same: get it before the others! This time around, however, those red and white balls aren't the only thing players will want to get their Jhands on. THIS time, Sakurai has included a new kind of PokeBall that is easily more valuable: the Master Ball, which will only contain rare or legendary Pokemon, where a regular PokeBall will contain common Pokemon. New Pokemon include Arceus (4th generation), Eevee (1st generation), Fennekin (6th and newest generation), Meloetta (5th), Gogoat (??), for Wii Palkia (4th), Kyurem (5th), Victim (5th), Keldeo (??), and the well-known mascot Xerneas. Also, players who had a problem with characters with multiple forms will no longer have that problem. ,In previous games Brawl and Melee, Two returning characters had alternate forms that they could switch to in the middle of a battle: Zelda (Zelda) could transform into Sheik, while Samus (Metroid), by using her Final Smash, could shed her armor and become Zero Suit Samus, while performing another Final Smash would restore her armor.. In Smash Bros. 4, these characters have all been split into their own, solo forms, with Zelda and Sheik getting new attacks to replace the one they would use to transform. In addition, Sakurai also made the anticipated confirmation of a returning fighter who hasn't missed a game yet: Yoshi (Mario), whose revelation was delayed because the developers were working on remodeling him and didn't want to upset fans. After Sakurai bade his fans farewell, he dropped one more trailer for us, dropping two more exciting pieces of information: the return of the massively popular Pokemon Charizard, now as a solo fighter, and the introduction of a new Pokemon fighter: Greninja, the fully evolved form of the 6th generation starter Pokemon Froakie. Super. Smash Bros, for Nintendo 3DS is set to be released in Summer 2014, while Super Smash Bros, for Wii U is set to be released the following Winter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And RecycleMania 2013 brings recycling pride back to CSUSM B Y K ATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR After a devastating loss in last year's RecycleMania, this year's competition brought good news back to CSUSM. The eight-week competition, which lasted this year from Feb. 3 to March 30, sought to motivate colleges and universities to increase their recycling, prevent more toxins from being created in landfills and to teach students to separate their trash into different bins when they throw things away. RecycleMania awards schools in three primary categories: "Grand Champion," '"Per Capita Classic" and "Waste Minimalization " 523 campuses across the United States and Canada participated in the 2013 RecycleMania competition, hoping to win the coveted "Grand Champion" title or to place in various other categories. "Grand Champion repre- sents the true measure of your recycling on your campus. It is waste divided into two categories: trash and recyclables. We are in other competitions that are important, but Grand Champion is the prime, overall champion, and that's the one we aim to win every year," CSUSM Recycling Program Coordinator Carl Hanson said. While CSUSM failed to place higher than third in the competition for Grand Champion, this year, the university took home first place in the Targeted Materials Category for Paper category. However, CSUSM's biggest win was in the major category Per Capita Classic, defeating the other campuses with an impressive 53.11 lbs., or total pounds of recyclables collected per person. This is calculated by combining the full weight of recycling done and not done on campus and dividing it by the amount of students and faculty members that con- 35.513 lbs Top paper-recycling universities Competed from competition d&tesfrom Feb. 3 - March0O 3J 29.919 l is CSUSM WestfiëW State tribute regularly to the waste stream (the Full Time Equivalent number).

Decathlon dominates, school record shattered One on one with CSUSM junior decathlon runner, Maurice Strickland BY ALEX FRANCO S PORTS E DITOR Dodgers 33 Angels Padres • 24 22 Giants 5 Yankees 3 Other 13 O ut of 100 students polled. Information compiled by Alex Franco A record that has withstood seven years of trial and error is no more. CSUSM Junior Maurice Strickland from San Diego, has become the school's "greatest athlete," a title that has traditionally been given to decathlon winners since King Gustav V bestowed the honor upon Jim Thorpe, the world's first Olympic Decathlon Champion in 1912. Strickland broke Aaron Parker's former school record by a staggering 550 points, with a total of 6,557 points in decathelon's 10 disciplines last Thursday afternoon at the always competitive Mt. Sac Relays. Strickland reflects on his performance and what the accomplishment means to him and his legacy. Question: Was breaking the record a goal of yours coming into the season? Answer: My. main focus coming into the season was to better myself and to keep improving in each event. In the decathlon, I have some weaker events and I just wanted to train hard in those. The record was in the back of my mind and I knew if I trained hard I could beat it. Q: What does it mean to you to have a record like this, in such a tough event like the decathlon? A: It really means a lot. It is a symbol of all my hard work and long weeks of practice. It will be nice to know that even when I am no longer a student here, I have left my mark. Q: What was it that drew you to run the decathlon instead of a single event? A: I have always felt that one event was not enough. I started in high school in the pole vault and hurdles, then as my career progressed, I became infatuated with the idea of being able to do all types of events. I always liked the idea of being a well-rounded person and I guess that same idea applied to track. After two long days and feeling like I can't stand anymore it feels amazing to think about what I just accomplished. Q: After breaking such an impressive record, where do you look to go from here? How will you keep yourself hungry/motivated for more? A: Staying motivated is easy for me; there is always room for improvement and I am never satisfied. I constantly set new goals for myself and one of my new goals is to be the national champion in the dècathlon. That would be the cherry on top of an already amazing season. Although there may be no king or queèn in San Marcos to declare him the "world's greatest athlete,", there is an entire campus of almost 10,000 to revere in the astounding feat Strickland pulled off. Records were meant to be broken, but Maurice Strickland showed that some were meant to be destroyed. T HE H E A R T B EAT: Seniors Moderation is essential for alcohol consumption B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF W RITER According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are approximately 80,000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use in the U.S. each year. In the U.S., a standard drink consists of 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. This amount is typically found in 12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces of malt liquor, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or liquor. Moderation is considered one drink per day for women, and no more than two drinks per day for men. Unfortunately, statistics reveal that most people fail I to stay within these limits. A binge occurs when men consume greater than five drinks in two hours and when women consume more than four drinks in the same period. The CDC reports that one in six adults binge drink about four times a month, consuming about eight drinks per binge. Furthermore, 92 percent of adults in the U.S. who admit to drinking report binge drinking at least once in the last month. Binge drinking can result in hefty repercussions for everyone. According to the CDC, in 2006: - Binge drinkers were 14 times more likely to report alcohol-impaired driving than non-binge drinkers. Afhlptp .Minieie - Binge drinking cost the U.S. $223.5 billion, or $1.90 a drink, from losses in productivity, healthcare, crime and other expenses. - Binge drinking costs federal, state and local governments 62 cents per drink. - There were more than 1.2 million emergency room visits and 2.7 million physician visits due to excessive alcohol consumption. Health-related repercussions from excessive alcohol consumption are endless. More immediate consequences include unintentional injuries; which involve traffic injuries, falls, drownings, burns and unintentional firearm injuries; and violence towards oneself and others. olii ____ O f v r » * s w m s n -v^-r « Belzer||jp [0 batted .322, hit two home runs, drove in eight • a n d scored sevenruns, to earn the Chronicles athlete of the week. • honored as CSUSM splits series against The Master's College BY ALEX FRANCO S PORTS E DITOR It was Senior Day at GSUSM on Saturday, April 20, where the No. 11 ranked Cougar Baseball team honored their nine graduating seniors. The team's seniors include: Kody Sepulveda, Marcus Meraz, Steve Messner, James Dykstra, Mike Guadagnini, Kyle Secciani, Frank Charlton, Mike Scarmella and Kenny Belzer. It was a tale of two teams as CSUSM fell to Masters College 11-4 in game one, and turned the tables and routed Master's 10-2 in the second game. Senior ace James Dykstra took the mound in game one and pitched well into the seventh inning before running into a jam in the top of the eighth and allowing two runs to give Master's College the lead and ultimately the win. A comeback effort would fall short for the Cougars in the ninth inning when Bran- don Bentson belted a huge 2-run home run, his second of the year, but it wasn't enough to overcome the bevy of runs Master's produced, falling 11-4. Game two of Saturday's double-header featured an onslaught of Cougar runs and hits as the offense put up 10 runs on 15 hits. On a day to honor the seniors, it was a ' couple of underclassmen that really stepped up and helped the team to victory. Junior pitcher Hunter Brown started game two and held the Master's College bats silent for the better part of his 5.1 innings pitching, only allowing two runs while striking out five hitters. On the other side of the game, freshman Brandon Bentson was the catalyst for the Cougar offense, continuing his monstrous hitting from game one into game two as he scored the game'sfirstrun on a two run double down the right field line finishing the game 2-4 with two runs. Tyler Bernard and Kyle Secciani contributed with their own two run hits in what was a big fourth inning, where they put up five runs to carry the team to an impressive 10-2 win over the No. 9 Master's putting an end to a three game losing streak and improving to 30-9 this season. "Facing a very good team, it's not always going to go the way you plan," coach Pugh said. "I was happy that we were able to get a win out of today despite the days struggles." The performance against Master's puts the team at the 30 win plateau for the first time in the programs history and puts them in great position heading into the season's final games next week and eventually the playoffs afterwards according to Pugh. The Cougar's wrap their regular season up at noon on April 26 at home, in a double-header against Arizona Christian before heading into the playoffs. Travel the World Teaching English!

In the course Art and Social Change, students learn how to become leaders and change their society with art. Students Courteney Henley, Megan Koelln, Shayna Benavidez, Jorge Hernandez, Aimee De Leon, Kelsey Pinedo and Salisha Canare taking what they have learned in this class to help the veterans on campus. The Art and Social Change has already collected 100 books and $100 in donations for CSUSM's Veteran's Center, but they hope to surpass this amount with donations from students, staff and faculty on campus. According to group member Courteney Henley, the idea to help the veterans on campus came from fellow group member Aimee De Leon, who knows people in the Veteran's Center and after talking to them, recognized the need for textbooks and reading books. "It is important that veterans receive textbooks and reading books because text- books are expensive and some [veterans] can't afford them, so we thought as a group, it would be nice of us and the whole school to donate used textbooks that we're not using anymore and give it to them," Henley said. On April 9 and 11, the Art and Social Change group and veterans from the Veteran's Center held events to encourage students to donate books and art pieces. The veterans cooked hamburgers and gave out desserts to those students that stopped by and donated. For students that missed the opportunity to donate earlier this month, the Art and Social Change group has created more ways that students can contribute to their cause. There will be bins set up around campus where students can drop off their books and art pieces for donation or students can go to the Veteran's Center in the third floor of Craven Hall in room 3724 and deliver them personally. B Y J ULIANA S TUMPP A & E EDITOR At the end of every semester, "Pause for Paws" is an event that takes place in front of Kellogg Library, where certified therapy dogs are awaiting stressed students to send some love their way. The foundation that sponsors these college-based events, "Love on a Leash," started in the early 1980's by dog obedience instructor Liz Palika. She introduced the thought of pet-provided therapy to schools? hospitals, nursing homes and more. Palika's intent for "Love on a Leash" was for these therapy pets to brighten someone's day. Bonnie Biggs, Board Vice President, has observed firsthand the effect these dogs have on people. "UC Davis did a study that indicates that kids who read to dogs can improve their reading skills by 12 percent. I've witnessed this potential in kids who are shy about reading but loosen up and enjoy reading to toy dog, Koshi, and even show her the pictures," Biggs said. These dogs are privately owned and go through extensive training, but knowing a dog's temperament is vital in the sense that they need to be able to give affection to a hospice patient or allow a group of kids to pet her. "Given their ability to bring comfort and joy, colleges began bringing dogs to campus during finals. Emerging research indicates that the very act of petting a dog reduces blood pressure, slow heart rates and changes brain chemistry," Biggs explained. "Students miss their own pets and some just drop to their knees to hug the dogs." Most recently, some dogs were brought to Boston in light of the Boston Marathon bombings that took place a few weeks ago to help the survivors and mourning families. "Pause for Paws" will take place on May 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside of Kellogg Library. Gaypril continued:The month drawing to an end B Y KEANDRE W ILLIAMS-CHAMBERS C OPY EDITOR The month of Gaypril has been jam-packed with many amazing events that have blown away the students, staff and faculty on campus.

The Pride Center is continuing to show movies every day and is, and always has been, open and welcoming to students that are curious about what the center does. Frequent discussions are continuing, some during U-hour and some during occasional evenings, which tackle heavy and often controversial topics that are open to the contributions and interpretations of students from all walks of life, so long as an open mind is kept. One particular event to look forward to is the Cam- pus Pride Walk that will be taking place during U-Hour on April 30, with sign-making preparation on April 29. Be prepared to come out in full force with your pride to be who you are and shine with the confidence that makes you who you are.

"Nicholas has been our inspiration and motivation behind starting our foundation because when he was first diagnosed, there was little to no information and direction [for families like us]. So we thought that the least we could do was try to help people find direction, and maybe support and kind of create a family atmosphere," Kathy Anselmo said. "But we don't have all the answers. We're not political, and only go by our own experiences. We just want to help things move forward rather than hinder the progress. We find the positive and go with that.

The staff, at least upon my visit, was very friendly and had an overall positive attitude that no doubt contributed to the calm and patient tone of the customers in line. The space can become rather cramped, especially while waiting for one's order. But the staff makes sure that the customers, who can snack on chips and a drink for just $2 more, are not kept for too long. In my case, I received my sandwich order before too much time had passed. Given its rather secretive location, (there are no other restaurants close by) it was surprising to see how many people had flocked to the restaurant. At 2 p.m. there was still a crowd, despite the fact that most people's lunch break had already ended. The enthusiasm of the customers, and the consistent size of the line, should justify the popularity of what initially looked like a hidden eatery.

Education+ Apple Valley | Rancho Cücamonga | Redlands | Santa Ana | Temecula Extraordinary W Conceptions �Opinion Editor: Jessie Gambrell cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, APRIL 24,2013 OPINION Student debt vs degree The film industry and the 'American Dream' BY WHITNEY MAHON CONTRIBUTOR As many college students are beginning to prepare for finals coming up within the next month, the wait begins to find out their financial aid eligibility for the upcoming academic year. While some are preparing for summer vacation in some exotic city, others are excited to be able to put in more hours at their jobs to save up for the following semester. During my undergraduate studies from 2007-2011, California State University consecutively increased their tuition 10% each academic year. When will increases in tuition and fees stop? Recently, President Haynes posted on the California State University San Marcos website homepage the proposal of a "Success Fee" maxing out at $275 per semester by the 2016-2017 academic year. That just adds to the money coming out of student's pockets. I plan to stay in school for the rest of my life to postpone paying back my loans because everyone knows that trying to get a career within the six months grace period they give us is highly unlikely in this economy. I need a loan just to start paying back my loans. According to FinAid, in quarter one of the 2012-13 school year, over 9 million f ree FAFSA applications were submitted, with California having the highest submission rate. With such a high participation rate, you would think that this would be an easy and delightful process. Financial aid has been anything b ut... The most efficient thing about financial aid is when they gave you the ability to automatically link your application to the government page which transported your tax information over for you. That saved you a whole 30 minutes; the time I wish they would take to realize that my parent's information had absolutely no correlation to my life expenses. The second year I was in college was the same year my parents stopped supporting me after declaring all me independent according to government regulations. However, none of that really mattered since I was under the age of 25 and was still considered "dependent", forcing me to put their tax information on my financial aid application which altered my eligibility of receiving the necessary funding. And then when I did get accepted for a grant or loan, the wait to receive your check feels longer than eternity. I am thankful to receive any type of aid, but it doesn't help that my check gets sent to my house 3 weeks into the semester at the point where I have already missed 2 homework assignments and failed one quiz because I couldn't afford to buy the $97 required textbook for the course. According to The College Board, two-thirds of fulltime undergraduate students receive some sort of financial aid, whether it is loans, grants, scholarships, and/or work-study. It is evident that over half of students depend on these sources of financial support and without it; they would be stuck living life with nothing more than a high school diploma. And don't get me wrong, students can go through an entire college career without receiving any financial aid but even working 40 hours a week at 17 dollars per hour, sure I could have afford my tuition, but would end up being evicted from my apartment and eating Top Ramen out of the bag. One last issue is that financial aid requires you to be enrolled full-time in order to receive all of your financial assistance, yet schools are becoming so overcrowded that it is almost impossible to get the classes you need. No classes, no money. No money, no classes. It looks like we got a case of a "Catch B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E E DITOR The American Dream is a concept that originated in the 1950's that often reflected what was shown in a Norman Rockwell painting, the one with the white picket fence and family dog. It's not just a concept, but a lifestyle that many Americans and immigrants thrived for. While starting off as something small and simple to living in a nice house with a family and steady j ob, (think "Mad Men" but without the drama), over the years, this idealization has been corrupted with greed. In the pursuit of inner happiness, people often turn to crime in order to get to live the American Dream.

For those of you that do not watch "The Walking Dead", stop reading this and go watch it now. For the rest of the sane population, "The Walking Dead" is a show about the zombie apocalypse that follows a group of southerners that face the normal challenges of the post- apocalyptic world and they get chased, around by braineating people. Wfiile on my trip, I visited the iconic geek locations such as Morgan's House, Downtown Atlanta, Rick's House, the Quarry and the CDC. What was different with these sets compared to others was the fact that these wereactually peoples homes, real work-filled buildings and real cities full of - people.

The listed songs are sure to express those feelings of revenge. Whether it was an ex-boyfriend or a friendship gone sour, these songs hold true to the feelings we have when good relationships go bad. " Want U B ack" B y C her Lloyd Cher Lloyd gives off a feisty air in this upbeat hip-hop revenge song. With fun lyrics to sing along with the dancing tune, you will want to set this song on repeat to party to again and again. " King of A nything" By S ara Bareilles This is a song that illustrates a true woman's independent character. She stands up for herself against her overbearing, over controlling ex. Her sassy lyrics are exactly how some women feel when it comes to their previous relationships. " Wide A wake" By K aty P erry Katy Perry sings her heart out in this heart-wrenching song that expresses the feelings of a woman who was caught under the spell of a man who was not good for her. Some say this song has to do with the singer's divorce with Russell Brand.

Entries sought for annual Student Media Festival B Y C OUGAR C HRONICLE S TAFF M EMBERS The eighth annual CSUSM Student Media Festival returns next month, and organizers are encouraging students to enter their films and videos before the deadline next week. Film professor Jonathan Berman, who is coordinating the festival with fellow VPA professors Minda Martin and Kristine Diekman, said that while most of the student entries come from arts and communications departments, the festival is open to all. "We're looking for entries from all across the campus," he said. "Students should really know how to read and write video as much as they know how to read and write with words." Berman said many former CSUSM student filmmakers have gone on to successful careers in the entertainment business. And one film featured at a past Student Media Festival on the Wounded Warriors Project at Camp Pendleton was later featured at a film festival in Washington, D.C. 114 We're open to all kinds of films," Berman said. "We've seen personal stuff, documentaries, immigration films and even some fun little chase movies. But we prefer films that are more personal ... that have the imprint of the maker in them."

About 120 people attend the free event each year. Students will introduce the films, which will be screened in two groups with a coffee and break in between. Afterwards there will be an awards reception, with prizes in categories that may include best narrative, documentary, social justice and personal memoir, among others. The audience can also vote for their favorite film. Past prizes have included cash awards, software, hardware and gift certificates. This year's jury includes Berman, Martin, Diekman and Rebecca Lush of VPA, students, alumni, and Jacob Angelo, the former director of the San Marcos Student Film Festival. The festival is open to films and videos that were made by students at CSUSM over the past two academic years (2011-12, and 2012-13). The films should be 15 minutes or less and in a digital format. To enter, students must upload their videos before 9 p.m., May 2 at www.csusm. edu/vpa/mediafest . But because it may take up to two days to get the department's reply email to authorize the upload, Berman encourages students to register their entry on the site several days ahead of the deadline.

Fans of the series, which centralizes on the everyday lives of office employees at Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Paper Company, Inc., have ridden an impeccable, emotional roller-coaster as they witnessed characters transition through alluring situations in the office and in their personal lives. The beloved Steve Carell, who played the "World's Best Boss" Michael Scott, left the series in season seven, viewers were forced to witness the catastrophes that have followed Scott's departure. With guest appearances of Will Ferrell , Ray Romano, Kathy Bates, Catherine Tate and recently the beloved Roseanne Barr, viewers aren't quite sure where Dunder Mifflin-Sabre's future is headed. Though season 8 was particularly rough for the show, with the frustration added to employees when James Spader's character as Robert California, new regional manager was introduced, season 9 picked up with comical scenes the audience is accustomed to. After Andy Bernard's character (Ed Helms) is reunited with the regional manager's position, the every day humor of working in the office is returned, much to the joy of viewers. The past nine seasons have been memorable. Viewers have witnessed Michael Scott through heartache and heartbreak with various women, deal with racism in the office (though he was the cause of it most of the time) and transition from "friend" and menace to brilliant salesman, reminding the audience and employees the reason he was placed as regional manager for the Scranton branch. After leaving Dunder Mifflin temporarily and forming his own company (The Michael Scott Paper Company) in season five, Scott returned with gusto, ready to pulverize any and all of Dunder Mifflin's competitors. Viewers have experienced possibly the most romantic, heartfelt development of a relationship through Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) as Pam leaves her emotionally abusive husband and settles into the arms of Jim, S i : :—_— iE2 Sm PSiin Thoughts of'Dreams in the SancT take place in North County San Diego, so the shock of knowing that these events 'Dreams in the Sand' is a have been carried out in our Emmy Awards, one of which was for Outstanding Comedy small production that con- own backyard strike one directly to the heart.

Samuel Ramtin, CSUSM student and Model UN member, also commented on the details of this academic competition and highlighted the hard work that it takes to complete these tasks.

"This entails countless hours of research and preparation, intense negotiation and diplomacy and being able to work with diverse and new groups." The Model UN team at CSUSM started just three semesters ago in the Spring of 2014, and they have since been internationally recognized at over 10 competitive conferences against other teams from around the world. This was no different at the New York conference where they received top honors while representing the nation of Kyrgyzstan. "The conference in NYC was amazing. We pulled .together a J eapvand dured 18 hour plus days of ~ academic competition for 5 days in a row.

The campus opened to 448 students in itsfirstyear, far fewer than over 11,000 students that are enrolled today. The student population of CSUSM, however, is not the only component of the university that has grown in the last 25 years. In the last two years alone, five buildings and centers were constructed on campus. These additions to the campus include the Jan and Esther Stearns Center for ACE Scholars, which opened in February 2014, the Nursing facility in University Hall in January 2015, the Student Health and Counseling Services building in January 2015, the Veteran's Center in September 2014 and the University Student Union, completed in January 2014. "Since 2004, CSUSM has averaged one new building a year. These are the physical signs of a growing, breathing, living campus," said Margaret Chantung, Director of Communications and Senior Public Information Officer for CSUSM. The addition of these buildings is a physical expression of the intellectual growth that CSUSM nurtures. The value of community also serves as the foundation for this growth, since they were Photo by Chris Morales In this view from the top of Craven Hall, both the newest building on campus, University Student Union, can be seen in the distance and thefirstbuilding on the campus, University Hall, is on the right. made possible by donations and students themselves. "The growth often reflects partnerships with the community - for instance, the Veterans Center was a dona- tion from the students of the Stevens Institute for Technology in New Jersey and is a space that allows us to better support student veterans, active-duty military members and their family members," Chantung said. "The QUAD, built by a private partner, not only helped us fulfill one of our strategic priorities - to enhance student life - but allowed us to have the capacity to build the USU." "The USU, the Student Health and Counseling Services building and now The Sports Center, currently under construction, are all funded by student fees so these buildings also reflect the vision of students and their commitment to leaving a legacy for future Cougars," Chantung said. As CSUSM students evolve and the population grows, the university grows in tandem. To accommodate the students, there will be more campus growth in the near future. "The Athletics Department just hosted the groundbreaking of The Sports Center on Monday, March 23. We look forward with excitement and anticipation as we watch this facility take shape over the coming months and then celebrate its grand opening in the late summer of 2016," said Chantung. "We [...] also look forward to the new and innovative CSUSM University Store that will combine the University Store and Bookstore together in one central location in the Dome, opening in fall 2015." The growth of CSUSM allows students to be apart of a transforming campus environment that fosters success within every aspect of the college experience. �2 News Editor: THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, cougarchron.news@gmail.com WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8,2015 f™ % A # ^ PI C YV J Latin@ Center receives support, questions from campus community B Y K ATUN S WEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF The announcement of the name and location of the Latin@ Center has garnered praise and opposition for the progress that has been made thus far in preparing the space. The Latin® Center will open in Fall 2015 and occupy the space that is currently the Social Justice Training & Resource Center in the University Student Union (USU 3300). Dr. Lorena Meza has been appointed by President Haynes to oversee the implementation of the Center and find a director for it. Current plans for the Center include hiring peer educators to assist the Latin@ Center's director with programming and student mentorship. In February, Meza confirmed that the Center will provide resources to the student body such as programming related to understanding culture, especially of Latin countries. Since the announcement of its implementation, students, faculty, staff and community members have vocalized support for the crea- tion of the Latin@ Center. However, there is concern that the current plans for the Center are not sufficient to meet the needs of the Latin@ and Raza identified community on campus. As of Spring 2015, this totals 39 percent of the student populace. CSUSM is considered a Hispanic Serving Institution, with more than 25 percent of the student population identifying as Hispanic/Latino. "We appreciate the efforts of Lorena Meza, which has shown that we can make this center a possibility," CSUSM student and External Representative for M.E.Ch.A., Selena Arellano, said. "She has been encouraging in this process and we hope to build strong connections and progress with her. However, we feel the university has not met our needs as students." One of the main concerns with the Latin@ Center is that its current name is not inclusive of all identities in the Latin@ and Raza communities on campus. One of the first names suggested by many campus community members for the center was the Raza Center. The space officially became known I 1 COMING SM O LATIN© CNE ETR Photo by Chris Morales The Latin@ Center will be located in USU 3300. as the Latin @ Center when President Haynes announced it in an email sent to the campus community on Jan. 28. "Not every person on campus identifies as Latino or Hispanic. For example, I identify as Mexican-American, Indigenous and Xicana, all that are not included in the terms Latino and Hispanic," Arellano said. "'Raza' simply means people and we can identify as this. The word is in Spanish but as a Hispanic Serving Institution, I believe the campus should embrace student's native language." Another concern that has arisen is that the So- cial Justice Training & Resource Center is too small for what some campus community members envision for the Latin@ Center. In the past year, Latin® and Raza identified students have advocated for resources to be included in the Center such as computers, space to organize and socialize and a welcome desk that provides information about financial aid services, graduate studies, campus involvement and community service opportunities. While campus community members have been enthusiastic about housing the Latin® Center in the USU, there is concern that the desired resources will not fit in the Social Justice Training & Resource Center. This has prompted a discussion as to whether or not the Latin® Center can be relocated to a new space on campus. "It would be awesome to home the center in the USU, but the given space did not match our visions of the center," CSUSM student and Co-Chair of S.T.A.N.D., Julio Chavez, said. "We have been told that the location will not be changed and now we will focus on striving for the best resources that can be provided for the center." Despite its size, both Arellano and Chavez agreed that the location of the Social Justice Training & Resource Center is ideal due to its proximity to the other student centers. When it opens in the fall, the Latin@ Center will be located with the Cross-Cultural Center on its right and the Gender Equity Center and LGBTQA Pride Center on its left. Chavez said that the location will help members of the Latin@ Center encourage visitors to become involved with the other centers and increase their community involvement overall "We have seen a trend with our fellow "Latin@s" that a majority are not involved on campus and this center will try to push them to be more engaged with their campus community and have an overall better CSUSM experience," Chavez said. Despite the concerns over space and the current name, supporters of the Latin@ Center are encouraged that the space will be inclusive of all members of the campus community. "This center is not only for Latino and Latina students," Arellano said. "When this topic was brought up at [a] United Students of Color Coalition [meeting], support for the center was offered, in return for support to open other centers to represent other groups on campus." "We will continue to advocate for the needs of undocumented students as well," Chavez said. "We will be asking for a plan to move the center to a larger space upon new plans for new structures on campus. For now we will focus on the quality of the space and not just the quantity of the space."

BSU President, Akilah Green, said the photo was taken to reflect students, faculty and staff standing in solidarity in protest of police brutality, especially in recent caises involving African American males. "This event was very important to have because of many recent police related deaths of unarmed black men that was making headlines across the country at the time," Green said. "We wanted to bring awareness to the injustices taking place before the momentum began to fade. The realities of black individuals are much different than many people would expect when dealing with law enforcement." The intent behind the photo was also to send a message about the realities of the contemporary justice system in the United States. "The main thing people should take away from this event is that racial profiling is alive and very strong and that it is up to each of us to be the change we want to see in the world by living through love and respect instead of fear and hostility," Green said. During Thursday evening on Feb. 12, 2015 at the Cesar Chavez Courtyard, a candlelight vigil took place to honor the memory of the Chapel Hill shooting victims. The victims, who were three students of Muslim and Arab descent, were shot and killed by alleged shooter Craig Stephen Hicks in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. There has been speculation that he acted out of hatred for them and their religion. The vigil was organized by Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Afghan Student Association (ASA) and was attended by 40 students from various organizations. MSA President, Leena ElMaleh, said that the event was an important remembrance for the Chapel Hill victims, Deah Barakat, Yusor AbuSalha and Razan Abu-Salha. "We felt that it was important to organize this event to bring awareness of the tragic events that occurred at Chapel Hill to honor the lives of the three Muslim students," El-Maleh said. "They were model citizens and compassionate human beings that had their lives cut short and we wanted to pay our respects. We also wanted to draw attention to the fact it is possible the victims were targeted because of their race or religious beliefs." El-Maleh said that the victims represented strong character and morals that should be continually celebrated and honored. "The Chapel Hill shooting caused many Muslims to feel targeted because of their religious beliefs," ElMaleh said. "No one should feel unsafe because of their beliefs and we should all stand together to promote tolerance and civility. Deah,~~ Yusor and Razan dedicated their lives to helping others and several organizations have been established to continue their charitable work such as the Feed their Legacy campaign which has collected 100,000 cans of food to feed the homelessness and the Syrian Dental Relief fundraiser which has raised over $500,000."

The series, entitled "Race to the Bottom", addresses and analyzes the priorities of the CSU system and the ways in which these decisions are making a direct impact on faculty members and students. The CSU system is composed of 23 campuses, more than 450,000 students and over 45,000 faculty and staff, making it one of the largest university systems in the world. Because of its range, the issues that affect the CSU also inadvertently make an impact on the state of California as well as society at large. "CFA decided to launch a series of papers this spring because it's time for the CSU's leadership to fix the problems that have been created by 10 years and more of misplaced priorities and problematic choices," said Dr. Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA Board of Directors. The first white paper in the series was released on March 3 and is called "CSU's 10-year Failure to Fund its Core Mission". It discusses the critical role that faculty members play in the lives of students in terms of success and educational advancement. It also examines issues such as the lack of salary increases for faculty members over the past 10 years, which has a direct effect on their ability to provide the essential drive that students need to succeed. According to the first paper, it "serves as a sounding call for new priorities in the CSU based on what we know about the greatest drivers of student success. The university acknowledges the critical role that the faculty play; they must be willing to set the priority and make the investment." The paper also explains that, over time, the CSU faculty salary has lost purchasing power across the entire university system. It was written that "over the past decade—-in good times and bad, whether state funding was up or down, when tuition was raised and when it wasn't—CSU expenditures on faculty salaries have remained essentially flat." Research within the paper illustrates that the average CSU faculty salary was less in 2013 than it was in 2004 on every campus. When compared to the UC system, it is shown that "every single UC campus saw a "real dollar" increase in its average faculty salary, ranging from a real increase of $2,226 at UC Riverside to an increase of $17,890 at UC San Francisco. In stark contrast, fac- ulty at all CSU campuses experienced a loss in average salary purchasing power over the same period." CFA members are concerned that these stagnant salaries are intensely affecting the personal and financial circumstances of faculty members. Professors, according to the CFA, have to focus much more diligently on providing for themselves and their families because of the fact that they are slowly falling out of the middle class. In a news conference call on March 3, Dr. Darel Engen, Professor of History and the CFA President of the CSUSM chapter, commented on these issues and furthermore explained the impact that faculty salary inequities have on student success. "Because professors have to take the bus to school, it takes away from their ability to spend more time with their students. We ask that students join with faculty in calling CSU to make some changes and take action. Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions," Engen said. The first paper points out that the CSU's core mission recognizes the important role of faculty members within the higher education system. Despite this recognition, "the system administration has consistently f&il<6iP t6* provide the dollars needed for faculty to sustain their central role adequately." Learning will open more sections of courses that students need than the state has funded the university for. Extended Learning charges a higher rate for students to take these courses. I don't know where all the money for these courses goes," Rauch said. "It appears to me that while more and more work is generated for staff through this process, there appears to be little or no related promotional opportunities, stipends, raises, reclassifications and few IRPs (in range progression) based on this increased workload." Rauch explained that these issues are putting CSUSM staff under a great deal of pressure because they are expected to take on more work without fair compensation. The increasing workload is also not being balanced by the hiring of additional employees. "In fact, in the past several years, while student FTE (full- time equivalent) and Faculty hiring have increased, staff positions have increased very little. This lack of workforce increase causes unfunded, institutionalized workload creep," Rauch said. "The institution cannot expect a finite workforce to continue to handle an ever expanding workload without both increasing the size of the workforce to match the growth of the University, and increasing the wages and positional levels of the workforce to match increasing skills and abilities." After the grievance was filed, staff union leaders also put together an Extended Learning Workload Study, which includes a survey that was sent out to all 384 union represented employees at CSUSM. The survey asks that employees provide information such as the extended learning courses that are offered through their department, the amount of work that they contribute to these programs, whether or not this work is included in their job description and the compensation (if any) that they receive for this work. When the grievance was filed, the CSUEU at San Marcos also filed an RFI or a Request for Information from the CSUSM administration. According to Rauch, with this information, they would be able to "gain a solid understanding of this issue and how it impacts staff." These requests, however, have yet to be fulfilled by Employee Relations at CSUSM and the staff union has been 1 The second white paper in the "Race to the Bottom" series is entitled "Salary, Staffing Priorities and the CSU's 1 %", and was released on March 24. This paper discusses the issue of prioritization within the CSU system in regards to the importance that is placed on administrators and managerial staff over faculty members. Those administrators who are at the top of these hierarchies are subsequently making significantly more than faculty members, whose purchasing power has plummeted. "It shows that over the past ten years, in contrast to faculty, the CSU has prioritized growing its management and executive ranks. For example, the data shows that the numbers of managers and executives in the CSU grew faster than permanent faculty positions. Systemwide, while the numbers of managers and executives grew by 19%, permanent faculty positions actually fell by 3 percent," Taiz said. According to the paper, the losses in permanent faculty members also occurred congruently with an increase of student population at CSU campuses. It is illustrated that over the last decade, no CSU campus experienced a growth in permanent faculty •mtiiibei's* t hat * * aignifi cant enough to balance the student increase. The CFA also pointed out that "at a CSUSM stafffilegrievance over workload B Y JASMINE D EMERS NEWS EDITOR The CSUSM Chapter of the California State University Employees Union (CSUEU) recently filed a class- action grievance on behalf of all bargaining unit employees who are assigned to support Extended Learning work. The grievance addresses workload and compensation related to the Extended Learning program, and voices concern for staff members who may be experiencing work overload. Pete Rauch, the CSUEU President for the San Marcos chapter, explained this grievance in detail and highlighted the alleged inequities that staff members are being exposed to. "CSUEU filed a class action grievance because I have received the complaint from many employees all over campus (none from within Extended Learning however) that they are 'buried' or 'drowning in' Extended Learning work," Rauch said. The staff union at CSUSM is currently investigating the reasons why these employees might be experiencing increasing workloads and pay inequities. "It appears that Extended unable to gain access to the information that would aid them in their investigation. CSUEU members are now concerned that they are being denied their rights to exercise contractual grievances. "This uncompensated workload allows the institution to continue to grow on the backs of the staff. Many employees around campus appear to suffer from unfunded workload creep. We seek to understand the staff workload dilemma, the money flow to determine potential sources of additional money that could be used to increase the amount of staff as well as increase staff pay to match increased workload and move staff into higher classifications where work has grown increasingly complicated, and not just more work." Because the Extended Learning program is offering more courses to students than the university has funding for, it is causing current staff members to take on the additional work without the proper amount of compensation.

Up until this point, CSUSM athletics has been governed by the NAIA. NAIA is known for being a collection of smaller, religious schools. It is much more difficult for them to handle a public university with team sports. CSUSM'S participation in team sports within NAIA has been unique because these teams have lacked a conference home. The men's basketball team is a great example of this unique set up, said Athletic Director Jennifer Milo. In past seasons, the men's basketball team did not have a recurring conference schedule. That meant when it came time to play for the conference title it was a gathering of other independent schools. From this collection of independents comes the term for the NAIA conference, Association of Independent Institutions (All.)» When the men's basketball team went to A.I.I. Conference Championships this year, they played teams they had not encountered during the regular season. Other team sports such as women's basketball have the same experience. The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) will be CSUSM's conference home next year. CSUSM set for transition to NCAA. CSUSM will be able to compete in a conference against schools such as UC San Diego and Cal State Los Angeles. This will allow CSUSM to establish natural rivalries, said Jennifer Milo, Women's Volleyball Head Coach Andrea Leonard said that as a part of CCAA, Cougar athletes will be able to participate in "one of the top conferences in Division II nationally." Athletes at CSUSM have also reacted positively to Photo by Chris Morales this upcoming change. Softball player Naomi Amu, who transferred from the NCAAsponsored University of Utah, touched upon recruitment. The move to NCAA "will enhance our ability to recruit more student athletes," which will in turn make athletics stronger, Amu said. Track and field athlete Jessica Toliver and volleyball player Jordan McFarland are both excited about the chance to compete against more established teams. "It feels great knowing that we will be competing with a higher level of competition," Toliver said. "We have the determination and discipline as a team to do very well against these [NCAA] teams," McFarland said. In speaking with the athletes and athletic staff at CSUSM, the excitement over the move to NCAA Division II is palpable. These athletes are hungry for a chance to show their talent to their new conference and the NCAA as a whole.

Despite a 76-80 loss to end the season, Coach Saia and his players should be proud of what they accom- plished during this year's campaign. The men's basketball team finished 30-4 and have a long list of individual accolades to claim. Julian Camper, Wade Collie and Blake Nash were all awarded the recognition of CSUSM Athlete of the Month. Julian Camper and fellow teammate Akachi Okugo were named to the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Second Team. In addition, Dayton Boddie received A.I.I. Honorable Mention. Graduating senior Blake Nash was named A.I.I. Player of the Year, A.I.I. First Team Athlete, A.I.I. Championship Most Outstanding Player and was a candidate for NAIA Player of the Year. Nash was also awarded NAIA First Team All American. He is only the second men's basketball player to receive this honor in program history. In four games during the season, Nash scored 30 or more points. This stand as "the most in a single season in program history," according to csusmcougars.com. Coach Jim Saia was named Coach of the Year for the second year in a row. In the last two seasons, Saia has led the Cougars to an overall record of 62 wins and only 6 losses. One of the team's biggest highlights was winning the A.I.I. Conference Title for the second consecutive year against host team West Virginia Tech. "It was a great environment to play in and the team came together and pulled out a great win," Blake Nash said. This season was "a phenomenal experience," Coach Saia said. Blake Nash agreed with Saia and said that IT was impressive that the team was able to play as well as they did this season. The 2015 men's basketball team and its six graduating seniors: Blake Nash, Julian Camper, Jacob Andersson, Tony Freeland, Wade Collie and Steele Sylte, should be proud that they have continued to mold the legacy of CSUSM men's basketball with another winning season. Here are 25 ways to celebrate a healthy life BY AMANDA Q UILLING HEALTH COLUMNIST With CSUSM celebrating its 25th anniversary, we wanted to celebrate 25 ways college students can practice a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is much more complex than just working out and eating right. Sure, exercise and nutrition covers one aspect of a healthy life; however, there are four other dimensions we often forget. These dimensions include emotional, social, mental and spiritual health. With that, here are 25 tips for a healthy life: Develop self-efficacy: Believe in yourself and in your successes. Find social support: Whether it's a group of friends or family, find people you can trust and talk to. Practice yoga or meditation: Quiet your mind, take up yoga or meditate in the meditation room on campus . Go outside and connect with nature: The perfect combination to boost psychological health and exercise. Engage in positive self-talk: Don't put yourself down; only use uplifting comments. Sleep: Sleep allows you to cope with stress and increases productivity. Maintain physical health: Hit the gym, take a bike ride or hike with some friends. Make you time: This is a great way to boost self- esteem and look forward to something enjoyable. Form realistic expectations: Assess what your goals are and how you can realistically achieve them. Drink moderately: Only have a beer or two; the CDC recommends two for men and one for women. Be mindful: Be present in the moment and embrace each new experience. Eat healthfully: Eating well helps us cope with stress and keeps our body performing optimally. Stay organized: Keeping a calendar or making lists decreases stress and increases time for fun. Laugh: Watch a funny movie; laughter elevates your mood and immune function. Leave the past in the past: Learn to resolve old problems, don't carry pain and frustration into the present. Drink water: Trade the soda or energy drink for good hydration. Make sex safe: Always use protection and never do anything you're not comfortable with. Also, refrain from risky sex when drinking. Get a flu shot: With finals around the corner reduce your chance of getting sick with a flu shot. Wear sunscreen: While tanning during spring, make sure to protect your skin. Quit smoking: Smoking has huge health risks; seek help on campus for quitting. I Photo by Nick Nootbaar Celebrate 25 years with 25 tips toget healthy. Ask for help: Reach out for help if you need it, don't risk getting overwhelmed. Expect change: Things are always changing; the better we adapt, the more we grow. Volunteer: Helping others elicits a sense of satisfac- tion that boosts your mood. Assert yourself: Make sure the health decisions you make are your own. Always keep improving: No matter how healthy we are, there are always ways we can keep improving. �THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, I W EDNESDAY, APRIL 8,2015 Sports Editor: Burtland Dixon cougarchron.sports@gmail.com 7 University breaks ground on Sports Center I Cougars to enjoy homecourt advantage at last B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS EDITOR The time has finally arrived. CSUSM athletes and student gas tanks need not to worry for much longer. On March 23, 2015, ground was officially broken for the new Sports Center at the groundbreaking ceremony held on campus. A home for our athletes to compete in and a fostering of student life is on the way. "This facility is a game changer - for our campus, our athletes and our H HH W MHM j region," Athletic Director, Jennifer Milo, said. Jennifer Milo hit it right on the head with that statement. The Sports Center is a game changer for several reasons. One of those reasons is our Cougars will finally have a true home court advantage. Another reason is the ability to grow the community on the CSUSM campus. The game is being changed both literally and figuratively through our players and student life. "Our student athletes represent the heart and soul of Cougar pride," said CSUSM President Haynes. Giving a home to the heart Photo by Chris Morales University staff and community members gathered to celebrate. and soul of Cougar pride is a step in the right direction for sure. Just stepping foot in the room where the ground- breaking ceremony was held, one could just feel the energy pulsing in the room. Excitement filled the air as impor- tant members of CSUSM faculty and athletes spoke about the Sports Center. Justfiveyears ago, this new gym would not have been needed. Basketball and women's volleyball were not added until the 2011-12 season. CSUSM worked as swiftly as possible to get this gymnasium to come about. This just gives permission to people's imagination to contemplate about what can come into fruition next at CSUSM. "This facility has been a missing link to feeling complete as a department," Milo said via csusmcougars.com. Come the 2016-2017 sea- son, the gym will be complete and athletes, students and faculty will all be able to rejoice. Traveling to Miracosta and Escondido High for a home basketball and volleyball game respectively, will all be a thing of the past. If anything, our opponents should cherish these last seasons while they can before our Cougars are unleashed in all their glory to what they will soon call their home. What better way to celebrate 25 years than to commence the construction of what will affect the whole university in nothing short of a positive manner. Kettlebell group workout offered at CSUSM softball player Naomi Amu Clarke Field House finds freedom on the field fmmÊÊÊÊÊMm Iii Communications major called 'selfless superstar' B YAMYCHASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR CSUSM softball player Naomi Amu produces big statistics, but ask her about that and she'll tell you that her collegiate softball career revolves around freedom, not the numbers. B Y A MY C HASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR An important job that all Cal State San Marcos coaches have is the everyday task of recruiting future student-athletes. What makes CSUSM unique among other sports schools is that they recruit primarily from the local area. Andrea Leonard, the women's volleyball coach, stressed the importance of recruiting in finding the "next-level athlete" that is capable of guiding the team to a higher level of play. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, CSUSM students have an opportunity toAvorfcout all muscle groups in a fitness class called Kettlebell in the Clarke Field House. It is an intense one hour workout aimed to improve your strength and to provide fun at the same time. It is a chance to meet new people and working out together is always motivational. The group workout is conducted by Campus Recreation. Like all the others, it aims at keeping the students' fitness levels high and stress levels low during the semester. Kettlebell has an interesting history, the gist being that it came to Russia in the beginning of the eighteenth century and was first just a weight with which goods were measured. As time went by, the Russians made it a competition to see who can lift the heaviest weighing Girya (Kettlebell) and later turned into what we i iuw k mrw a s t he a portami workout routine Kettlebell. The focus of this training is strength and conditioning. Jordan Riding, a Kinesiology major who is a certified personal trainer and leads the workout, says that the golden rule while playing any sport or while working out is staying hydrated. An interesting fact that Riding shared is that Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness helps burn calories as well, so in simple terms, that means the muscle soreness is another way to burn calories even after the class is over. So for those who want innovative ways to stay fit this semester, place Kettlebell on your 'to-do' list. The classes are at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and 4 p.m. on Thursdays. the local talent pool, it is essential that CSUSM coaches build relationships with local club coaches. Leonard expanded on this process when she said that a big part of recruiting is "going to go look at some of the best club training programs" and building relationships with those coaches. Leonard commented on the importance of finding these high qualside, Los Angeles, Ventura and other surrounding areas. ity programs because it When drawing from means "that you know what type of kid you're getting." When Leonard and Pulvers obtain a recruit from a nearby high school or community college, these young athletes typically bring their whole family as a support system. If even half of the athletes on a team are able to have local family attend games, then the support for athletics grows exponentially, which is an ingenious idea in itself. As CSUSM prepares to make the leap to NCAA Division II this coming year, coaches Andrea Leonard and Ron Pulvers stand by these recruiting principles that have guided them to success in past seasons. "I know what it's like to be sitting on the side and worrying about work and income, so when I play, it's my time to just relax, have fun. It's like my free time," said Amu, a fourth-year transfer from the University of Utah. Unlike a lot of college athletes, Amu does not fixate on statistics. This approach pays off. Despite an injury prohibiting her from pitching, Amu leads the NAIA in home runs (10), total bases (56) and RBI , (33). "I don't look at anything, I really just play... [itV a] kind of freedom," she said. Amu is able to find liberation in the midst of her busy life, which involves the responsibilities of being a fulltime mother—to an 18-month old son, Amu—student and athlete. Amu took a year off from school, but had a strong interest in CSUSM and their softball program even while pregnant with her son. As an Oceanside native, Amu decided to transfer to Cal State San Marcos so she could raise her son, play the sport she loves and finish her education close to her family and fiancé. "Softball was my key to completing my education," Amu said. "I think the loyalty for them to respect me as a mother... was the biggest reason why I play so hard for [CSUSM]," said Amu, a Communication major. They "totally let me be a parent" even if that means missing practice to take care of her son, she said. Coach Laurie Nevarez, had nothing but praise for Naomi and her accomplishments in all facets of her life. Nevarez endorses Amu's skill and character on and off the field. "She is so powerful and explosive," said Laurie Nevarez, Head Softball Coach. Nevarez said that Amu has an incredible ability to be "100 percent in as an athlete, mother and student." The coach called her "a selfless superstar" and credited Amu for being a positive addition to the team with an innate ability to encourage her teammates. "She is an absolute treasure to the team," she said. Ron Pulvers, the men's soccer coach, said alongside with Leonard that although they are looking for a high level of talent, their main priority is finding athletes that will be the right fit for CSUSM. The allure of a super-talented athlete is quickly apparent, but Pulvers and other coaching staff stand by the idea that they do not recruit based of athletic ability alone. CSUSM coaches want athletes that will make an impact on the team and mesh well academically, athletically and socially. As Pulvers put it, they are looking for a "wholesome, honest, authentic fit" when it comes to a future athlete, Similarly, Leonard said that they are looking for an "upper echelon" studentathlete "that isn't just necessarily the best player, but the one who makes those around them better." Many universities recruit outside of the state or even outside of the country. CSUSM is different because they prefer to recruit talented local prospects. The coaches typically begin by looking at ath- letes in North County. From there, they move on to the rest of San Diego County, The coaches then expand their searching to River- Photo courtesy of Rich Langdon Cougar pitcher, Naomi Amu, makes contact during a recent game.

CSUSM professor Dr. Anthony Merritt exemplifies this philosophy. Dr. Merritt did not start the journey in higher education until after his military service. He began by taking classes at Mesa College and majored in Sociology and minored in Black Studies. Merritt maintained his academic interests after transferring to San Diego State University (SDSU) where he earned his bachelor's degree in Sociology. After graduating from San Diego State, Eh*. Merritt decided to further explore his interest in history. He received his graduate degree in history at UCSD. Using the knowledge he had developed through his classes, Merritt taught at several community colleges and universities in San Diego. Deciding to take his edu- cation a step further, Professor Merritt enrolled in classes at Union University, a hybrid style institution aimed at working individuals. There he received his doctorate degree in History. When asked when he felt inspired to become an educator, Dr. Merritt responded with the following. "That became part of the studies at Mesa. I was very much encouraged by the department chair of Black Studies at that time. She kind of thrust me into being group leader and discussion leader*.. I got the bug," he said. Education and Personal Life Merge Like many students, Merritt was unsure of what he wanted to study early on. His current research interests are history and culture of Ethiopia, Caribbean culture and history and Rastafarian ideology and social issues. Dr. Merritt said that these focuses had been a part of his personal life since he stkrted his schooling, but he didn't initially decide to Student entrepreneur runs Kingship Co* Music, skateboarding and more inspire clothing line clothing that according to their website represents CSUSM student and en- "west coast vibes."

"I didn't think about it in terms of education so much as that was a personal spiritual expression, but it certainly flourished at that time," Merritt said. "Ethiopia grew out of my personal interest as a Rastafari, as a way of life." Dr. Merritt discussed how he felt moved towards the Rasta lifestyle. "I was raised Baptist and moved through that. Beginning to move and explore and look at various other faiths/ expressions and have a lot of respect for all faiths and spiritual expressions," he said. "I think one of the things that maybe people who practice Rastafari would say, among other things, is that whatever they have been looking for in other pathways... what was missing was a cultural expression. And that's what the basis of Rastafari is, African culture. A king of retooling or re-emergence of it." Dr. Merritt's academic work and personal life as a Rastafari continued to mesh during his doctoral research. He explained how his focus was on the town of Shashamane, Ethiopia. "I've worked with the school project over a number of years, [and] helped with water pumps being put up. That's one of the big problems that people have had, potable water. That's an African wide issue," Merritt said. Race, Education and Student Advice Shifting gears to the topic of race relations in the U.S., Merritt explained the topicfromhis point of view. "I think old school racism is pretty much a thing of the past. Even though there are some hotbeds of it here and there. And not just against blacks, but against Asians, Latinos [and] against LGBT. That's just part of the human expression. And therefore I think I see it more as systematic," he said. "I talk about racism as institutionalized racism rather than this ' I don't like you because of the way you look." After being asked what changes he would like to Photo by Chris Morales Dr. Anthony Merritt gives advice on academics and life, see nationally, he mentioned higher employment and a cheaper college education as possible changes in the education system. "I've always felt that college education should be as free as possible. When I look at what you all as students are dealing with, your escalating fees whether it's here at CSU San Marcos or worse in the UC system. I teach at community colleges, their fees are going up... Let education be more truly universal so that young people can compete in this global market," Merritt said. Dr. Merritt'sfinaladvice to students navigating through college is applicable to all students regardless of major. "Don't forget your heart, but don't have it on your sleeve. Meaning, do what you want to do including making money, but do it with a sense of moral responsibility in whatever way shape or form you can to help other people. It makes no difference what it is as long as it's good, honest work that can help other people," he said.

Yet, her dreams don't stop there. Sewidan has applied to Portland State University with the hopes of enrolling in the dual master's program and obtaining an M A. in book publishing along with an M.F.A. in creative writing. In regards to grad school, Sewidan seems more excited than afraid of the massive amount of work that is sure to come. "I'm excited to be living in a new place! I'm also excited to be part of a new community. I know that one of my favorite experiences at CSUSM was the community aspect," she said. "I made a lot offriendswith both fellow colleagues and professors and at The Cougar Chronicle, so I look forward to building those kinds of relationships there as well. I'm really excited to be working on the press and to learn as much as I can in the process." "I hope to be an editor for a publishing company, a published writer and since I'm dreaming about the future right now, Photo courtesy of Nada Sewidan Nada Sewidan looks forward to life in grad school. I hope to someday open my own press," Sewidan said. "But even if none of those things happen, I'll be glad that I got to experience the things I did in Portland." In 10 years, if all things go sideways, Sewidan said she'd be content with simply being alive and writing. "If I accomplish none of the goals, because life likes to throw some curve balls around, I'd like to still be writing," she said. As for all the soon to be graduates who are interested in grad school, Sewidan had important advice. "Apply early. Seriously! Thé application process takes a while, but it's worth it. Do your research regarding what school you want to go to, what programs are best for you, check out the area too," she said. "Is the school located in a place that's really expensive? Can you afford living there? I thought about going to Boston until I realized it's one of the most expensive cities to live in, and I'd probably have to live in a cardboard box to be able to go and pay for school there." As for everybody else who is over school and can't wait to graduate, she also advised staying focused. "Turn stuff in on time and don't procrastinate. I know I sound like a broken record, but seriously, college is the time to learn how to figure out your schedule and how long it takes you to do an assignment," Sewidan said. "This is the time to experiment with that kind of stuff because working the two jobs I have now, procrastinating is not an option." �1C nS i Features Editor: 1 Collin Vaz f cougarchron.features@gmail.c( THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8,2015 S TUDENT S P O T L I G H T FEATURES IISHNHK^ Hannah Hawker,pirit, enthusiasmotfo sampus exemplar cuccess Junior leader brings s B Y K ATUN SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Hannah Hawker's dedication to CSUSM is a defining characteristic of her collegiate career, her list of campus involvement spanning countless organizations and departments on campus. Hawker is currently a third year at CSUSM. She is a Human Development major emphasizing in counseling and minoring in Psychology. Since starting at CSUSM in Fall 2012, Hawker's campus involvement includes Orientation Team (O-Team), ASI President's Cabinet, 25th Anniversary Planning Committee, University Corporation Board of Directors and participation in Lead Retreat. Her leadership positions include President of Colleges Against Cancer, Vice President of Resident Hall Council, Philanthropy Chair of Alpha Xi Delta and Extended Learning Specialist of ASI Campus Activities Board. Hawker has also been selected to be the Programming Coordinator of ASI Campus Activities Board for 2015-2016. Having come to CSUSM from Napa, CA, Hawker only knew two people when she started at CSUSM. This motivated her to join as many organizations and committees as possible so that she could become acquainted with the campus and get to know her fellow students. However, her enthusiasm temporarily overwhelmed her schedule, leading Hawker to discover the importance of time management. "I knew from the get go that I wanted to do everything," she said. "I tried to do that, but I learned quickly that it was hard to say no. I am now starting to cut back and focus on school and my grades because those started to take a toll while I was still learning time management and balance." Hawker said that her desire to participate in campus organizations also came from a positive freshman orientation experience and support from other campus community members. "I met Leslie Nevens, who was the director over at the dorms when I was a freshman going through the San Marcos Experience program and when I was on Resident Hall Council. She was one of the first faces that I knew in administration and helped to get me connected," Hawker said. "I met Jennie Ruiz when I worked on O-Team, and she is an amazing human being who really encouraged me to just pursue what I want to do. Dilcie Perez has also been supportive of me and we have a great, funny relationship. I know that she genuinely cares about students' safety and well being." When asked what word best described her, Hawker chose the word 'hopeful,' which reflected her personal goals for growth and love for giving back. She said that the legacy she leaves behind at CSUSM would ideally focus most on helping others during her time here. "We get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget how powerful we really are," Hawker said. "We really should all live to our fullest potential in all aspects. If you're not happy with something, then just* change it. It might be hard, it might be a struggle but sometimes you just have to do it. Don't settle for just being content.

Founded in 2009 in Anaheim Hills, Calif., by Scott Slater, the San Marcos location is situated off the San Marcos Boulevard exit of Highway 78 at 110 Knoll Road. The company has seven locations scattered across Southern California and offers a wide menu of burgers, appetizers, shakes and drinks, including more than 100 beers and a full bar. The burgers run from $10 to $15. The service is friendly and inviting with a casual decor of wooden chairs and cafeteria style tables.

Hawker's enthusiasm for CSUSM has made her bittersweet about her approaching graduation, which she anticipates to be in Spring 2016. While her immediate goals include getting the best grades she can, staying focused and supporting her campus community, she said that her long term goals primarily revolve around giving back and helping others. "I want my future job to include traveling, helping people and supporting my future family," Hawker said. "But I don't want a job just because it pays well. I genuinely want to leave an impact that is remembered for helping people. I 'm stillfiguringout what I want to do specifically, but I know that I like children, leadership and want to learn about myself while learning about the world around me.

She served as the Opinion Editor for The Cougar Chronicle in the 2013-2014 school year and is currently in her first year of receiving her Master's in the English and Comparative Literature Program at San Diego State University. "As a transfer student, CSUSM was the first campus that I really felt attached to," Hammond said. She also said she misses the great professprs she worked with in the Literature and Writing Department, as well as everyone she worked with at the Writing Center and The Cougar Chronicle. "I don't think that I would be as successful or motivated as I am today without the support I had from everyone I had met during my time at CSUSM, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people," she said. What Hammond loves most about graduate school is that she is treated as a profes- Photo by Anne Hall sional more so than as a pupil. "Although my studies as a graduate student are far more demanding than the experience I had as an undergraduate, I feel much more connected to the work I do," she said, and adds that she has " had the opportunity to teach freshman level college courses in writing, which has been a very fulfilling and exciting experience." Hammond is currently working as a writing tutor and a Rhetoric and Writing Studies instructor at SDSU and she will continue to do so during the rest of her time in graduate school. "In the future, I plan to continue my studies and receive my doctorate degree in order to become a university professor," she said, but she also admits that she is "not sure where I will be applying just yet. I will begin looking into programs starting in the fall as I finish up my Master's level work." Lauren Hammond was a valuable member of The Cougar Chronicle team and we are proud of all of the work she has accomplished since her graduation. �FEATURES Features Editor: Collin Vaz cougarchron.features@gmail.com LOCATION SPOTLIGHT .••••,"-'-••:-.-.•. - ___ Students prepare for Earth Week, Students learn sustainable lifestyle at CSUSM life skills at the sustainability garden BY NICOLE HOLMAN ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The Sustainability Club, Associated Students and University Student Union are collaborating to educate students on campus regarding various environmental issues in preparation for Earth Day on April 22 .

Yet, the ancient art of raising a plant from the ground is becoming a lost practice in today's time. Here at Cal State San Marcos, students with , a green thumb are honing their skills in an area on campus known as the Sustainability Garden. The garden is a5,000 square foot plot of land located behind the childcare center, across from the police station at the back of campus, and is dedicated to student sustainability projects. Having a campus garden is outlined in our school's "sustainability master plan", and the great progress it has made shows our effort towards becoming a more sustainable campus. CSUSM junior Brendan Bohen is one student who has managed to find out < about and utilize this space. Bohen planted his first to- • mato plant a few weeks ago and is already seeing the veggies of his labor. "For me, it's not even about the tomatoes, it's about learning a new life skill. I am here on campus for eight hours every day and figured if I have some free time, I may as well pick up a skill or two. Plus when they're done, I can come down during lunch and enjoy the crunch of my own hand grown sandwich toppings," he said. Bohen encourages other students to come down and try to get a space in the garden, which he thinks has a chance at growing. "This garden is devoted to us," he said. "If the need arises in the student body for an even bigger garden, we have the power to request that, and there's lots of space over here for it." "FRESH HEALTHY % CAN © ^ AUTHENTIC I 506 E.

KilltheCup.com, a San Diego based non-profit organization, is seeking to get 22,000 coffee drinkers to commit to their movement. To have them pledge that they will switch to a reusable cup on Earth Day, April 22. Coffee has become a huge phenomenon in our fast-paced society, a crutch to keep us going through all possible fatigue. "The disposable cup B Y E RIK D E L A C RUZ STAFF WRITER Hands shaking, a drip of sweat running across the temple of your face, one eye closed, aiming at what you're about to kill. You make a choice despite others telling you not to do it, you pull the trigger... BAM! You killed the cup. Your body immediately relaxes from the tension. You do it anyway, despite the norm of others opinions that it's too much effort and that you alone can't create an impact. We're a long ways away from realistically killing the (disposable) cup, but it all begins with a decision to act. H| fô' MW wB H íü aB M8 Photo by Nick Nootbaar The University store sells a variety of reusable cups. has become an iconic and highly visible symbol of waste and negative environmental impact," said Drew Beal, Chief Environmental Optimist at Kill the Cup. The simple notion that KilltheCup.com is going after is changing habits from April 2 through April 22 and on to contribute positively to the planet, one cup at a time. In this era, in order to create a lasting shift, especially at the college level, you must inspire social innovation. That is in the mission statement for KilltheCup.com, as well as educating consumers about the negative effects on the environment by using disposable cups. Their creative blend of gamification, social media marketing, as well as activities which harvest fun are what have manifested them to become "one of the most innovative civic startups in the country." Individuals who take part in the Kill the Cup University Challenge upload photos of themselves with a reusable cup to spread awareness in hopes that it creates a chain reaction through the influencers on different campuses. Fall of 2014 was the inaugural campaign that through 20 days was able to save an estimated 15,440 cups, which is equivalent to 244 pounds of landfill waste. Slow, but it's progressive to the overall mission of reducing waste and as with anything, change commences with the break of habit. Advancement begins with a choice and everyone can make an impact in the preservation of the earth. We all say in one way or another that we want to change the world, but it all beings with you. You can influence others to join the movement of Kill the Cup. We all have a story, we are all looking for a purpose. Something as simple as posting a picture of a reusable cup can make a difference on campus and in the rest of the world. Why Cal State University San Marcos is the best What makes our school so great B Y SARAH YOUNGREN STAFF WRITER College is a place to have fun, explore your independence and learn more about life and yourself. At least that's what I've heard about college throughout my life. While yes, those are all very true, what you don't hear too much about is how extremely stressful it is. There is endless amounts of homework, school activities, work and not to mention we have our impending future of what we will do after col- lege looming over us. Thankfully, in my opinion, CSUSM is the best school to go to as a young adult who is transitioning to the real world. Before I transferred here, I was scared about finishing college and trying to break into the business world. But it wasn't long before my feelings started to change. My second semester here, I went to a career counselor w ho h elped s teer m e i n t he right direction. He inspired me to do more than just go to school, and to actually start working towards my career while in college. I found out that there are many activities on campus you can get involved with and that will aid you in building your resume. I was scared of the idea at first. I was never the student to get involved for fear of rejection, but I met some friends who showed me how welcoming organizations on campus are. The experience has been overwhelmingly supportive and friendly. Yet, I think the best aspect of CSUSM is the professors. All of the professors I've had so far are passionate, knowl- edgeable, approachable and helpful. I know most teachers I've had in the past at community college have said you can come by their office hours and ask questions, but I never actually wanted to until I started going here. Maybe it had to do with the fact that the work is much harder, but I also think the professors make you feel comfortable, and they're Photo by Noelle Friedberg supportive of you coming to CSUSM provides a welcoming college experience. them. They want to help you and it's made clear. It's also This is why the professors - they don't just give you an added benefit that they at CSUSM are the best and an education, they give you all seem pretty interesting. this is why I love CSUSM a platform for your future. ill — • • MlliiliMUllülWMmilll?« • WSiiiSiMKiaiiSIMMIlMgtl! Response to Call for action to improve grad studies and global education 'Racism is a two-way street' ,.,..:...:• •' : :,. B Y ZISHAN K HAN CONTRIBUTOR I am pursuing my Master's Degree from the Department of Computer Science at CSUSM. I was admitted to the Master's program during fall 2013. I was admitted as a conditional student and was required to take GRE and get a 3.5 on analytical writing, or get a research topic from a professor and submit a GWAR paper. As there is no system in the CSUSM Computer Science Department to get an academic adviser, I did leg work to approach each and every professor to become my academic adviser over the course of my studies from fall 2013 until spring 2015. But I heard only one answer from each professor: that they are busy with other students. There are hardly 20 students in my Master's program, but still the professors are busy. Due to this, I was unable to get an adviser and still I am without an aca- : .;•.• • '•• ' •....:.... • demic adviser, and so I was unable to submit my GWAR paper. Because of all of this, I am now academically disqualified from the program. First of all, because GWAR is important for this school, the administration should plan ahead of time and provide a credit class for the GWAR requirement so that a student can enroll in the class and will not face severe consequences such as I am facing now. Secondly, there should be a system which automatically assigns an academic adviser to Master's students who can guide them to complete all of the requirements on time and make it possible to complete their degree in the given constraint of time. Thirdly, as per classes are concerned, the school should make use of their computer science faculty and students to create all of the school's software technology, like Cougar Courses, web check outs, etc. This could help the school to secure funds for the development of the Comput- ••••' • '••'• : ' '•• ••..•"...."•..'I: !' er Science Department and would indeed be beneficial for students. This experience would also help computer science students find jobs once they complete their degrees. Finally, there is a serious need of an international department which takes care of CPT and OPT for international students. I feel this is a need because according to the current procedure, you are supposed to know two months in advance before getting a job to enroll into the CPT class. But it is completely unfair for international students to land an internship because as an international student, you can only work on your CPT during the course of the program and on OPT after completion. These are my recommendations which I believe will make CSUSM's graduate program work as it is supposed to, and will attract more students and will help current students in CSUSM on conditional admission to not get disqualified from their program. = L !.: \ . • .v. • = . h•" • :...:•..• \ '....' .

C OPELAND STAFF WRITER Why do some white people cry "reverse-racism" when they find they don't like the taste of their own medicine? As advised viewer discretion, I want to start by reassuring you that yes I am a black guy and in no way, shape, or form do I discriminate or am prejudiced against white people or any other ethnicity. I love everyone. That being said, this article is in response to "Racism is a Two-Way Street" by Zach Schanzenbach, which talks about racism in America directed towards whites, if there is such thing.... He says racism is a "twoway" street, assuming that the "two-ways" are coming from the direction of black and white corners. He doesn't hesitate to point out the ignorance of those oblivious to the racism in this country, while failing to recognize the ignorance of his own. For example: his take on Ferguson. To this day, Mike Brown (a.k.a. "the black criminal" killed by Darren Wilson) is a sensitive spot for people of color. But Schanzenbach views the protests in response to Brown's murder as discrimination against Wilson, "condemning him for blatant racism." Despite Wilson's proven record of past "blatant racism" and violence towards black people, to Schanzenbach, Wilson is the victim. Not Brown... With all due respect, Zach: What do you know about racism? Do you think blacks are just roaring about racism because it makes us feel "uncomfortable?" How can you, a white male, honestly complain about reverseracism from the perspective of white privilege? I don't see white kids executed and left dead in the street for wearing hoodies or playing with toy guns; or hung by trees; or with their hands up; or on video in broad daylight. I don't hear the excuses for why they died to cover-up the reason regarding their skin color. Where was the media's sympathy then? Where are your white equivalents to our Trayvon Martins, Tamir Rices and Mike Browns (who actually didn't have a criminal record)? Instead, you have actual white killers like James Holmes, who pretends to be "the joker" and shoots people in a movie theater, safely taken into custody... "Safely" because he's white. You said: "racism is a twoway street." That requires you to look at racism as a whole - from both directions of your street. Before claiming how whites are targets of racism, recognize your privilege and the racism practiced by your very own. �L ETTER TO T HE E DITOR In response to 'Gender Equity Center changes raise questions' BY ABRAHÁN MONZÓN CONTRIBUTOR Dear Cougars, An important Letter to the Editor was published in the Women's Herstory Month edition of The Cougar Chronicle. Titled "Gender Equity Center Changes Raise Questions About Loss of Women's Power," the letter posed the chief question: "How can we empower women at CSUSM?" citing that the Gender Equity Center is "run by men." The letter provides the platform for a critical discussion about women, gender, patriarchy and institutional support systems. It is imperative that we remain critical of the ways in which institutions uphold or challenge traditional distributions of power. I want to begin by sharing about my personal process leading to my position as the Assistant Director of the ASI Community Centers. Since I was an undergraduate, I have been passionate about gender and sexual equity, feminism and social justice. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Feminist Studies and pursued graduate studies in Student Affairs in order to continue advocating for, and supporting students, on issues of gender and sexual equity. When I applied to CSUSM, I was excited about the prospect of working with a number of students who are passionate about these issues. When I was invited to a video interview with the search committee, I learned more about the organizational and staffing structure. I learned that my supervisor, and his supervisor, were both cisgender, queer or gay men who are read as White. As a disabled, gender nonconforming femme, queer, Chicana I thought about the ways in which I could add to the dynamics of the office. At the same time, I realized that I am at times read as cisgender, gay, white and masculine. Gender-related programming in higher education touches on many topics including sexual violence prevention, support for survivors, discussing body acceptance, supporting parents and addressing the intersections of gender and other identities. I also thought about how my experiences as a survivor, a person of size and as someone from a working class immigrant family influence my drive.

Well, I am here to tell everyone that Business is the best choice. Take a look around and take note of everything in your surroundings. Everything that you see had to come from somewhere that someone created from nothing. This goes to show that everything in life is a business even if you may not realize it at first. Business is the best major to choose because if everything is a business, and you learn how to run and manage a business, then technically zon@csusm.edu.

Any candidate in my position would have many strengths as well as blind spots. For this reason, it is important for me to not do this work alone and that I partner with others promot- speaking you could work in any industry that may interest you. The classes that one must pass to graduate with a business degree are challenging for many, but in the end create someone who is very universal in any field. Another benefit of being someone who manages a business is it is easy to have flexible hours. Being able to have the luxury to control what days and what hours you work is something people all over dream of having. This opens doors of new opportunities to adventures in life that a different job that came from a different major could have restricted you from. While it is great how many business opportunities there are in the United States alone, the possibilities expand overseas to other countries for business majors. Knowing how to operate a business can be used worldwide. You could live in any country in any part of the world that your heart desires, see all of the beauty with your own eyes and get to live in a new culture that others could only wish to be in. So when you or a friend of yours is wondering what major would be the best to allow you to travel, explore new cultures, challenge your brain to become the best student and future employee/ entrepreneur and work for any industry you can dream of, selecting the business major is the best choice that you or anyone could make. the characteristics a student dreams of having in their ideal professor. Luckily, CSUSM has a professor just like that on its campus, and her name is Dr. Heidi Breuer. Professor Breuer has been at CSUSM for eight years and loves that the CSU school system makes education accessible for anyone that wants to receive a higher level of education. "I was committed to the idea of open access education, if you want to [get an education] you should have a chance, and I wanted to be at the more access-friendly school," Breuer said. Breuer's encouraging attitude towards education is also shown through her passionate lectures in her classes. Her enthusiastic voice can be heard from Markstein's hallways as students pass by her lecture room on their way to class, and students often peer through the door's window wondering what class this boisterous professor is teaching. Luckily for all of these peeping students, Professor Breuer teaches a wide variety of classes covering medieval literature, Game of Thrones and even a class about witches, zombies and vampires.

The class meets on Tuesday nights to discuss whichever Austen novel has been assigned for us to read for the week. Professor Stoddard-Holmes teaches this course and is very passionate about the subject matter, making the class that much more engaging. You definitely need to leave any preconceived notions you may have had about Jane Austen's writing at the door. We quickly learned in this class that Austen was a master of social critique and incredibly witty dialogue. Many of the topics Austen addresses in her novels are still relevant today, and her humor is conveyed so well that I've found myself laughing out loud at some parts. Though this may sound like any typical Literature and Writing course, it's really very unique. Conversations range from "how does Austen critique gender roles in her novels?" to "why do you think the 2007filmtranslation of 'Pride and Prejudice' had Colin Firth jump into a lake when that scene wasn't in the novel?" (The answer being, of course: Colin Firth in a wet shirt). While the class certainly is a lot of fun, it has also taught me a lot about both Jane Austen and film. After watching a film as a class we analyze the similarities and differences between the novel and the film. This activity is especially interesting because most of the time I see a movie with friends we end up talking about how different it was from the book, so it's a similar conversation, just in a class setting. Another thing I really appreciate about the class is the atmosphere. Even though we're doing class work, Professor Stoddard-Holmes makes the class feel like we're just having a conversation with friends. Despite the fact that we have already read four novels in this class, I feel like we have taken plenty of time to talk about each book and its film adaptation. With lively discussion, film screenings and lessons in Austenian etiquette, Photo by Nicole Holman I know I, as well as many others in this class, have Professor Stoddard-Holmes begun to really look for- talks about the novels by Jane ward to Tuesday nights.

Or why not shed light *J Iii on how slavery in the South was justified using the concept of race. Even further, you can remind your readers about the Slave Codes, Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws and mass incarceration. By arguing that the black folk can be racist just like the white folk and not be called out on it is attempting to silence him or her. That is, you are promulgating the idea that black folks should be challenged on their racism towards whites when in fact we know that racism only benefits white society. -Kit A -5>y K«< Russia sold Alaska for two cents an acre.

Happy 25th birthday to CSUSM Celebrating my experience at our sself, not only because of the chool BY PIERSON CEPEDA STAFF WRITER C S U S M is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and, from my point of view, 25 years is a relatively long period of time. I just turned 22 last year, and like other birthdays, there was a cake, a song and the surprising realization that another year has passed. Most of my birthdays have me thinking that another year has gone by without accomplishing much in terms of dreams and aspirations. This year saw a great change due to the fact that as CSUSM has grown, I have matured as well and the things I want to accomplish are closer now more than ever. As a freshman coming into CSUSM, many thoughts raced through my head the week before school started. Some of these thoughts were along the lines of "when should I get my license?" Sadly, I did not have a license. "When should I go shopping?" Because I needed clothes and supplies. Another thought that had me up till four o'clock in the morning was "what is college going to be like?" which was interesting considering I had a class at eight o'clock that same morning. That moment in time had me thinking with the mindset of an inexperienced teen concerned with only the immediate realities. Though this is not necessarily a bad thing, I later found out that I severely limited my worldview and, as a consequence, my openness to growth. For the first couple of semesters, the format of col- lege was a welcome change from the schooling that I had workload, the professor or become accustomed. Upon even the subject matter, but realizing that the time was because of a combination coming to choose a major, of all of the above.

But, I honestly do not think it could have happened had I not gone to CSUSM. Again, CSUSM has been a source of growth for my character. I realize that had I not gone to school and struggled, I would have been lost trying tofindmy place in the world and would be no closer tofiguringit all out. On this, the 25th birthday of CSUSM, I celebrate not just the passing of another year but also the profound influence you have had on my life. Happy 25th birthday, CSUSM! Creative Writing course is must-take class Take a risk and develop your writing skills with LTWR 325 BY CALEB H OGLAND STAFF WRITER Every semester you wonder what classes to take. You weigh your options of what you need and what you would like. Sometimes there are multiple options and the only deciding factor is what works for your schedule. It is time for a change. Being a college student often means a stressful race to the finish line. "You have four years so don't mess around." Forget that. College is a time for education and experimentation, so take a class that you will truly enjoy and use wherever you go. Creative Writing 325 is a must-take class for everyone it is available to. This is an introductory course where students learn the basic techniques to writing fiction and poetry. Create something beautiful. Create something weird. Create a story or poem by painting with words as if every keystroke was a brush stroke. Create and learn how to better your artwork. Literature is art tob. The artwork of paintings, music, movies and novels transports millions into another world and time. Learn how to do this. If you already are, then learn how to do it better. If you ever daydream then this is the class for you. This class will teach you the techniques and hone your skills to draw out those dreams. What good is a dream that can't be made real or shared? If you like telling stories, then take a class that will make you a better storyteller. This class will help you consider all the important elements that make up stories and how to put them together. All the instructions are completely helpful and practical. Not a minute goes to waste in teaching. Lecture days are simple cut and dry, right to the point. Do x, y and z. Here is why, and here is the effect. Look around; look at every funny-looking and goodlooking student. Everyone has their own world they want to create and share. Being in a creative writing class gives you the privilege of peering into other students' minds and hearts. This class brings students together like no other. Students present and share their art in a safe environ- ment to their fellow peers. Their peers first compliment on things done well and then give their opinion on what they felt did not work. The professor then masterfully guides and moves along the conversation by helping students articulate, in a non-offensive way, their critique of the presented work. Just like any writing class, students receive feedback from the professor so they can improve their work. For the final project, students are allowed to reuse a previous work once they have incorporated the professor's comments and techniques they learned throughout the course. More than learning to write and present your art, students are required to go to poetry or book readings. Photo by Noelle Friedberg Creative writing can be a source of leasure as well as an academic profession. While requirements usually come off as negative things, these readings expose you to the world of literature in a more immediate way. Think of your favorite book; now imagine sitting in front of the author as they read a passage to you. J. K. Rowling might not be available, but students will still get the chance to see and meet up- coming and famous writers. Creative writing is not for everyone. It is not for people who don't dream or daydream. It is not for people who don't like movies, music , novels, plays or paintings. Take this class even if you don't need it. Step out of your comfort zone and learn to write something you will want to share. �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@giTiail.com Director looks back at School of Art'sfirstyear Dr. Jacquelyn Kilpatrick discusses upcoming music degree A &E EDITOR The School of Art is almost done with its inaugural year and as the 25th anniversary celebration continues on campus, we look into the new School of Art with Director Jacquelyn Kilpatrick.

I hope that by the 30th Anniversary of CSUSM, the School of Arts will have BA degrees in each of the disciplines, with options that allow for creatively building a life in and with the Arts. With this insight we hope that students studying in the School of Art with gain more and more in their education and develop into thriving artists. CAMPUS COFFEE Thank you San Diego for voting us #1 M plines/options. The degree, a BA in Visual and Performing Arts, was designed as a very interdisciplinary degree, with four options and a variety of minors. That very creative degree will continue to be offered, but, in addition to the Music BA, we are working on gaining campus approval for BA degrees in the disciplines of Theatre as well as Art, Media and Design (AMD), and we are beginning the planning process for Dance. Moving from an option to a BA degree program takes time and work, but ultimately we would like to see each of the disciplines with individual majors. The faculty and students in those majors will continue working on exciting projects with each other and with disciplines across the university in a variety of interdisciplinary endeavors.

Ellie Kemper (of "Bridesmaids" fame) plays the eternally optimistic Kimmy Schmidt who is interestingly similar to her character on "The Office". This quirky series opens with the release of three young women from the clutches of a delusional pastor who convinced the girls that the world ended. After living in a doomsday bunker for the past 15 years, Kimmy Schmidt decides to move to New York City in pursuit of a normal life. This proves to be both challenging and hilarious, as the last time Kimmy Schmidt was part of the real world, she was a teenager living in the Midwest. With out of date pop culture references and her own resilience, Kimmy starts her life anew. As she navigates the trials and wonders of adulthood, Kimmy befriends her ham of a roommate, a struggling actor named Titus Andromedon. Together, the two take on the city. Soon, Kimmy becomes employed to be a babysitter/assistant to a wealthy Manhattanite played by "30 Rock"'s MOVIE REVIEW j il HBHHI own Jane Krakowski. From the oddities of her job, to almost joining a cycling cult, and eventually going to court to prosecute the pastor, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" will keep you laughing all season long. The show's unexpected blend of bright colors, satire and dark humor keep viewers on their toes. To top off the great writing on this show, the theme song is so catchy you'll find yourself singing it all day long. Charming, witty and genuinely endearing, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is one Netflix series to be sure to b inge watch over summer break. J 1/5 PAWS "The Duff": A shiny, dated pop culture film BYWILLMCCURDY EIC ASSISTANT It is an odd day where the following phrase is true: "Twilight" was an inventive movie. Before everyone starts sharpening their pitchforks and finding out my home address, some clarification is necessary. "Twilight" despite all its misogyny, poor dialogue, offensiveness to the undead, promotion of abusive relationships and making of Kristen Stewart as an "actor" was a new spin on the genre of teenfilms.It was the type of movie with one foot in the grave while digging the hole for the other one with shovel labeled clichés. Thus, the movie "The D uff' was made. It is a film that takes the teen movie formula (girl doubts looks, meets up with guy, gets made over, guy falls for her, they foil the plot of the school popular kids, happily ever after), adds more social media than a naive extrovert's phone and tops it off with a dash of inferiority complex fuel to make it relatable to those who aren't having a hard enough time in high school with their insecurities. That is of course where the title comes in. The term " Duff' is an acronym standing for Designated Ugly, Fat Friend. Upon hearing the title for the first time during a commercial, I thought that a sociopath had somehow worked their way into leading a producing firm and this wouldn't have been too far off. In an era of increasing acceptance of various bodies and personalities, the movie proudly waves about the word as though it was their own little sadistic creation. It constantly reminds the protagonist, and by extension, parts of the audience, that they should be in that category or else be forced to be out of the totally sick social loop created by the marketing team and the producers at CBS. The plot follows Bianca (Mae Whitman), an easily impressionable girl who after being called a Duff by her socially and mentally inept neighbor Wesley (Robbie Amell) decides to rid herself of her well-adjusted childhood friends, Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca Santos) out of fear that she isn't as attractive as them. P ^WMM^^^ . i i In order to "fix" herself, she approaches Wesley for guidance while she helps him with his failing grades, to which he agrees, all the while being hounded by Wesley's mentally unstable ex-girlfriend and external antagonist Madison (Bella Thome). The term external antagonist is mentioned because though Madison is a bully the main antagonist in terms of character development to Bianca is herself. She believes Wesley and keeps him around, even falling for him on a purely physical basis despite the emotional and T f L j 1 k mental distress he causes her that kick starts the entire plot. And it's not as though she has no one else as her friends happily accept her back after the anti-climax with no negative repercussions for her actions. They aren't very developed as characters, but they do something that the entire movie should have done from the start: dismiss the sexist acronym as nothing but another social stigma created to deflect the insecurities of others. If the credits rolled after that, I wouldn't feel as though I wasted my money. % # i \* .j > Pfefe* University o/San Diego H; ' - K 'i S I m • H SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION SCIENCES .

SAE passes ban against pledging for all chapters CSUSM's California Alpha-Gamma chapter institutes changes with enthusiasm B Y KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF The nationwide fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon has made national headlines as the country's "deadliest fraternity." But, the organization, including CSUSM's chapter, has moved quickly to change its reputation. Last December, bloomberg.com published an article criticizing the fraternity for the disciplinary actions that have been taken against multiple chapters across the country in* recent years. It also focused on the nine people that have died in what were referred to as "events related to Sigma Alpha Epsilon" since 2006, which Bloomberg reported as more than any other fraternity. This March, bloomberg. com brought SAE back to. national headlines when JPMorgan Chase & Co. made the decision to stop managing the fraternity's investment account due to their negative reputation. On the same day that JPMorgan Photos courtesy of Mike McKinney and Spencer Joseph. made their decision, SAE's national president, Bradley Cohen, announced the fraternity's resolution to nationally ban pledging in all SAE chapters. The decision, which had been in discussion for months leading up to the announcement, was put into effect in an effort to eliminate the hazing t hat'often occurs when fraternities and sororities are initiating new members. The 80 members of CSUSM's SAE Califor- nia Alpha-Gamma chapter, which is currently in its fifteenth year of being active at CSUSM, have welcomed the ban with open arms. Chapter President Mike McKinney says that all fraternities and sororities should follow SAE's example and ban pledging altogether. "I love the decision that the [SAE] supreme council has made. Our chapter collectively has been in favor of the ban. We looked at hazing and saw that it wasn't neces- sarily an issue at CSUSM, but since we are a national organization, we respect and support it. There needs to be a change and this will help us nationally and locally," McKinney said. While hazing has been a problem with other SAE chapters across the country, the California Alpha-Gamma chapter has not experienced the issue firsthand. When recruiting new members, the chapter contacts individuals pre-rush, which is stand- ard for all CSUSM Greek organizations. In the past, McKinney said that SAE would have a rush week during 'the third or fourth week of school. "We're going in a new direction; we have to revamp that whole process. We are looking to create a closer bond with potential new members to have deeper conversations about who they are and what their goals/ambitions are," he said.

According to csusm.edu links, it is responsible for putting together "a weekly lecture series on academic topics on computer science, mathematics and entrepreneurship. Additionally ACM organizes field trips to local businesses and offers workshops on various topics. ACM meets every Tuesday during U-hour in SCI n , Room 242." "It's like DLC for the internet," said Kevin, referring to the controversial practice of video game companies charging extra for downloadable content. "It's just another way for companies to get more money from clients who are already paying!" "It also has a lot to do with control. If a website is undergoing a copyright dispute; like if it features a video or music that the owner has a problem with,, the cable company can shut the whole website down," another student, who wished to remain anonymous, said. This naturally carries issue for many of the Internet's more popular critics and entertainers, many of who have dealt with copyright claims meant to take down their videos, despite the fact that they are generally* protected under satire and critical law. Nevertheless, a corporatecontrolled Internet could do a lot of harm to these smaller businesses. "[Net neutrality] is important, but growing difficult with ISP's [Internet Service Providers] creating a mo- nopoly. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the next couple of years," the President of CSUSM's Association for Computing Machinery, Maxwell Partington, said. Chief among these more financial concerns are the growing worries over the anticipated merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, which could allow the groups to practically monopolize the cable industry; which, for the moment at least, controls the Internet. The only other option lies in Cloud computing, which is very quickly being dominated by Amazon. The backlash on the Internet is more common, with Tim Berners-Lee, the man credited with the creation of the world-wide-web showing a large amount of concern. "When I created the web, I didn't have to ask anyone's permission," Lee said during an interview. "Control of information is hugely powerful. In the US, the threat is that companies control what I can access for commercial reasons...there is a very strong short-term incentive for a company to grab control of TV distribution over the Internet even though it is against the long-term interests of the industry." In the end, the frightening thing is how our only option is to wait and see. There is however some dissent to the move for net neutrality as taken on by the Federal Communications Commission. "The Internet was free and open before the FCC adopted net neutrality rules. It remains free and open today. Gamma chapter seeks to follow the "true gentleman" principles of SAE to the best of their abilities. "I have studied SAE history and rituals, and pledging was actually never in our founders' beliefs," McKinney said. "Pledging was introduced after WWII as a way to educate members more on the fraternity and what it meant to be in SAE, but this wasn't the case for all chapters." The bloomberg.com article listed California AlphaGamma as a SAE chapter that experienced one of the nine fraternity-related deaths since 2006. McKinney explained that while the individual was a member of SAE that passed away in 2009, the death was not directly associated with the organization. "We took that [article] with a heavy heart, but we understood that as reporters they were just trying to get all of the information possible " McKinney said. "We focus on our Minerva Student group weighs in on net neutrality B Y RYAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF W RITER In Issue 10 printed on March 5, 2014, the article "Demolished Net Neutrality unlikely to hurt customers" discussed the Supreme Court's decision to end net neutrality and the effects it will have on the layperson of average socioeconomic status. Those who have taken notice have a variety of opinions on the change, many of which are negative. There have been critiques concerning the fact that little press has discussed how cable companies are permitted to charge popular websites to use their bandwidth. On campus, several students were willing to talk about the SAE continued on page 10 Net neutrality has always been a solution in search of a problem," FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, one of two Republicans on the Commission, said. Some argue that the legal action is unnecessary and some that it is an attempt for the government to claim more power. "Republicans have opposed the FCC's attempts to enact net neutrality rules, arguing that the Internet has thrived because it has been free from government regulation," Jim Puzzanghera reported in the LA Times. It does remain clear that without net neutrality, businesses like the less than six major companies that control cable, can strangle bandwidth and loading speeds of content as they seefitand order search results similarly. �2 News Editor: T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, APRIL Sarah Hughes cougarchron.news@gmail.com Number of Participants vs. Magazine Person's Rating In your opinion, on a scale of 0 t o 10, 0 being the least attractive, and 10 being t he most attractive, the average person in a magazine rates as what number? 25 20 15 10 |- : - I 5 0 1O <H i ^ C Ü ' gg 1 H Mm ! • Online Il 1T1" 1 1 H w VL CG • In-person ¿ 1 **z a Students believe magazines don't affect them B Y SARAH HUGHES NEWS EDITOR . Two non-scientific surveys of convenience were conducted online and in-person at CSUSM to measure how the San Marcos and online communities feel about the use of Photoshop in magazines. Done as a follow-up to Alex Maravillas' article in issue eight, Feb. 5, 2014, the surveys shed light on CSUSM perception of magazines and body image. There were some differences between the online and in-person survey responses. The online survey conducted Jan. 23 to Feb. 24, using the "online survey platform" surveymonkey was distributed online through various Facebook pages, emails and had a link placed in a previous article. The in-person survey was administered Feb. 20 and Feb. 24, on paper surveys to individuals on campus, in classrooms, near the Clarke and the University Student Union. Most of the respondents were young students. Both were samples of convenience and were anonymous/There were 40 total participants in the online survey and 102 total participants in the in-person survey. In the online survey there were 27 female participants who responded, 10 male participants and three individuals who skipped the question identifying gender. In the in-person or physical survey, there were 58 female participants, 38 male participants and six who declined to state or left their gender blank. Differences: Participants physically at CSUSM reâd magazines slightly more than the participants in the online survey. The most chosen answer in the online survey for "How often do you read magazines that use Photoshop or retouched photos?" was "Not at all often" online, selected by 25 percent of participants. The most chosen answer in the physical survey was a tie between "Slightly often" with 24.24 percent choosing this response and "Not at all often" with 24.24 percent choosing this response. Although both groups claimed to have "good selfesteem," the participants who were physically on campus rated themselves lower than the online group. The most chosen ratings to the question "To what degree do you agree with the statement, "I am a very attractive person" on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being completely disagree, and 10 being completely agree", online were eight (33.33 percent), seven (17.95 percent) and ten (12.82 percent). The most chosen ratings to the same question in-person were seven (28.86 percent), eight (22.68 percent) and six (11.34 percent). Similarities: Both groups read for the same primary reason, entertainment: online (32.50 percent), in-person (29.26 percent). Both groups claimed that they took the information presented in fashion magazines "not at all seriously - nothing in a fashion magazine is truthful." Online participants chose this response 58.97 percent of the time. Inperson, 48.51 percent chose it. Both groups perceive the general population as taking fashion magazines "moderately seriously," with online choosing this response 48.72 percent of the time and inperson participants 40.20 percent.

Most participants said they had good self-esteem. The rates were comparable, with a 76.92 percent majority online and 79.41 percent inperson majority saying they had good self esteem. Participants were asked, "In your opinion, on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being the least attractive, and 10 being the most attractive, the average person in a magazine rates as what number?" Rates between the two groups were similar, but the orders were different. Online the ratings chosen were nine (34.21 percent), eight (28.95 percent) and ten (18.42 percent). Inperson ratings chosen were nine (28.12 percent), ten (23.95 percent) and eight (14.58 percent). When asked to rate their same sex closest friend, both groups chose the same top three numbers of nine, eight and seven in the same order. Online rated their "bestie" as a nine (26.32 percent), an eight (23.68 percent) and a seven (18.42 percent). Similarly, In-person participants rated their "BFF" as a nine (23.65 percent), an eight (18.27 percent) and a seven (17.20 percent). Many participants were advocates against measuring their bodies against what they saw in magazines. "Models in magazines are unnatural and often touched up so to compare them to oneself is unrealistic and impossible to reach," one participant answered in the in-person survey. "I believe everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. There is physical beauty and beautiful personalities. I primarily look at fashion magazines in passing and when I do, it is for the clothing and make up. I don't compare myself to the models in negative ways only for inspiration," another participant answered online: The two surveys suggest that people don't take magazines seriously, yet believe that others take them into moderately more consideration. Both groups believe they have good self-esteem. N EWS Natural beauty is preferred aesthetic B Y RACHEL SMITH STAFFWRITER 30 9,2014 Magazines and advertising companies are beginning to give into demands for natural beauty. Key movements from 2012 on seem to suggest that the beauty industry is changing to relieve social problems associated with low bodyimage. CSUSM's opinion on the matter is examined. On Feb. 5, 2014, the Cougar Chronicle released the article 'Reshaping Perception: The Vogue Image Creating Controversy' by fashion columnist Alex Maravillas, regarding the subject of utilizing Photoshop in fashion magazines and manipulating images for unrealistic expectations of beauty. As image retouching has been a trend in advertising for decades, CSUSM students were not surprised when the Vogue controversy erupted. "People these days are far too much into looks and should be into learning more," one student wrote anonymously in an in-person survey conducted by the Chronicle. "Many magazines, especially fashion magazines do not portray "average" people. People should not compare themselves to them," another participant wrote in the online version of the survey. Learning more is exactly what some magazines are beginning to do. Back in 2012, a petition with over eightythousand signatures was filed by a fourteen-year-old girl against Seventeen Magazine, hoping to "celebrate every kind of beauty." This spurred a movement in many magazines and even advertisements for lines like, Aerie, American Eagle's lingerie line that launched in January. This is an astonishing advancement and may continue in the coming years, as the need to change negative perceptions of beauty and the levels of self esteem, in both men and women become apparent. Out of 102 participants in a survey handed out on campus, 58 female respondents, 38 male respondents and six who didn't specify their gender, 29.26 percent of people that read magazines primarily focus on the entertainment. Also to be noted, many of the individuals at CSUSM who took this survey have a higher opinion of their friends of the same sex than they do themselves. Participants were asked to rate themselves on a scale of one to 10 on agreeing with the statement "I am an attractive person." The majority of people at 52.57 percent viewed themselves at a seven or lower and 39.17 percent responded as an eight or higher. Eight individuals (8.24 percent) declined to respond. But when looking at the attractiveness of their friends, 34.02 percent answered that their friends of the same sex were at a seven or lower, while an overwhelming turnaround showed that those at eight and above were 56.70 percent. "Attractiveness sadly determines a lot of how people are treated in life even if attractiveness is socially constructed," one survey participant answered in the in-person survey. As seen in a social experiment sponsored by Dove in 2013, a forensic artist drew portraits of women based on how they described themselves and how other women described them. The results showed something similar to the results we received in the survey, the women viewed themselves as dowdier, sadder and more wrinkled than they actually were. The campaign for natural beauty images is growing every day and hopefully will benefit the self-image of those to come. Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency and urges Californians to conserve water. By Sarah Hughes. D rought a ffects s tudents directly B Y ELIZABETH CRUZ SENIOR STAFF WRITER Much of California is experiencing exceptional drought conditions for the third consecutive year, making it the driest 30 months in over 100 years according to climate.gov. Currently, California is suffering from depleted amounts of water, as well as below average rainfall, causing crops to fail. Such a threat affects all Californians, as food and water may be at risk. Even around campus, there are changes one can make to conserve water. Drought is defined by Webster's Dictionary as a period of dryness, especially when prolonged. Droughts are more dangerous than dry spells in that they last longer and can sometimes take decades to fully develop. They are in the top three threatstoworld population, accordingtoweatherabout.com. In Southern California, imported water is relied on heavily. Only 20 percent of the water consumed is local according to sdcoastkeeper.org. The rest is imported from the Colorado River and Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta. With those areas also affected by drought conditions, Southern Californians have to recognize the value of conservation. USA Today reports that President Obama authorized $100 million in drought aidtofarmers in ordertocover the loss of livestock. He ordered the Agriculture Departmenttoexpedite applications so farmers can receive aid in a timely manner. Obama has also advised federal facilities to limit water consumption. Governor Brown signed a $687.4 million dollar package on March 1 to aid California during the water crisis, calling it the worst in modern history for the state. The bulk of the funding will gotolocal governments for water conservation projects. The rest will be giventoCalifornians who need general food assistance and house related assistance as a result of the drought, as well as the Emergency Water Fund. The storm that hit at the beginning of March helped reduce the risk of wildfires, but did not bring enough precipitation to end the droubt. Unfortunately, most of the snow caused from the storm will flow into the ocean instead of into our reservoirs, according to the Union Tribune. Adam Allgood of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center anticipates drought conditions will persist or worsen in many of the already affected areas. More efficient equipment can conserve water and regulatory practices can monitor human behavior. Water reused for landscaping can helptosave drinkable water. CSUSM has many drought-tolerant plants that may help reduce water used in landscaping. Students and staff can conserve water at home by simply waitingtorun a dishwasher until it isfoil.This can save 10 to 20 gallons of water a day, accordingtothe U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. For those without dishwashers, washing dishes by hand in a stopped sink or container is an excellent alternativetoletting the sink run. " Also, turning off the faucet while brushing teeth or shaving and taking shorter showers lasting onetofiveminutes can help the water supply. �T HE COUGAR C HRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9 , 2 0 1 4 Women's basketball turns season around ^MSBEBBMM I lilM Batiquitos Lagoon B Y ALISON SEAGLE SPORTS COLUMNIST B Y RESTY GREY EDITORIAL ASSISTANT CSUSM women's basketball team finished the season under .500 but they took home their first A.I.I. Division 1 Championship title. The Lady Cougars were allowed the opportunity to compete in the NAIA championship tournament, but lost in the first round against number 1 seed, Vanguard. Heather Thompson and MacKenzie Harnett were named 2014 DaktronicsNAIA-Scholar-Athletes. "They're also great people, which is what the NAIA hones in on; balance and character. You're talking about two kids that have great character and they have their priorities straight," Coach Crystal Harris said. Thompson was named A.I.I. player of the week earlier this year. According to CSUSM athletics, she was the first woman in CSUSM basketball's history to be named NAIA All-American as an honorable mention . "She deserves it; she's a double-double every night," Harris said. "It not only speaks with her ability to score or just rebound, it speaks about her entire game." Although CSUSM's leading scorer Shirika Miller is graduating this semester, Coach Harris has high hopes for next season. ' . "We're gonna get better every game, we're gonna do better every season," Harris said. "Through athletics and through basketball, we're trying to mentor and teach them how to be successful, high functioning and intelligent people." With almost the entire team returning for another season, the sky's the limit for CSUSM cougars. The Women's Basketball team finish their season 1517, but leave their mark in their final games of the season. "Winning this Division 1 Title helped put our name out there," Coach Harris said. Nestled between Carlsbad and Encinitas, the Batiquitos Lagoon offers home to many birds, fish and other wildlife as tides sneak in and out of the lagoon under Interstate 5. Hikers can often catch a glimpse of many of these critters while meandering the trails and enjoying the fresh air. There are many trails to venture out along around the Batiquitos Lagoon, but the main trail has its trailhead at the end of Gabbiano Lane. That's also where the Nature Center is located. There is only a handful of parking spots specifically for the lagoon but plenty of street parking is available. From the trailhead, the trail turns from paved to dirt past the Nature Center, but it is well maintained and relatively fiat. A bit down the path the trail begins to run along the Aviara Golf Course but not close enough to have to worry about stray golf balls. At this point the whoosh of cars from the 5 dissipates into the chirps of birds sitting in the trees. The distance from the trailhead. to the turnaround is 1.66 miles. There are other places along the trail that offer access points and parking. There are no restrooms or water along the trails, but there are plenty of benches for resting and observing the wildlife. More information about the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation and the Nature Center can be found at www. batiquitosfoundation .org. Sports Editor: ¡¡^^ cougarchron.sports@gmail.com I Lady Cougars keep on winning BY SHAINA PARDO SENIOR STAFF W RITER This season the Lady Con* gars are excelling on the diamond» With a 22-3-1 record, they have been racking up wins all seasons long and nothing seems to be slowing them down. The Lady Cougars' success can be attributed to both how they have played and how they have bonded. "The team bought into a family dynamic outlook and the fact that they are understanding it is okay to fail, but all that matters is reaction," Coach Ledesma said, According to Junior Genna Main, this season has been "nothing but great so far. "The team is getting better and better each and every day. Since day one we have had a sense of camaraderie; wefindthe holes to get better and better. Just as coach sayg we have seven little battles each game and each game we take seven little battles seriously. We have improved each and every day, when we work and stay together as a team we become one u nit" Main said. This season the women have been doing great in every aspect, especially their ability to trust a brand new coach in her first season at CSUSM. The Lady Cougars have quite a while to go before they go to nationals in May. According to Coach Ledesma, every single game is important and every game is a new opportunity to be better.

B Y RACHEL GALLEGO HEALTH COLUMNIST The Paleo diet, in simple terms, is what the cavemen ate. If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, you might be missing out on some major health benefits. This modern nutritional plan suggests that you'll be leaner and reduce your risk for diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If our prehistoric ancestors didn't eat it, diet rules say you can't either. The paleo diet involves eating highprotein and high-fiber meals, without having to count calories. Foods include fresh lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds. Foods to avoid are anything dairy. This is because the Paleo diet (like our ancestors) is all about "huntingand-gathering" type foods. It does allow for some cheat days, which is anywhere from one to three meals per week. It just depends on how far you are willing to take this meal plan. There has been some research on the health benefits of going paleo, but not enough to make any conclu- sions. Some researchers even go as far as saying this diet may improve athletic performance, because we are genetically made for it. The theory behind this is that our genes were made to survive a tough lifestyle in the ancestral age, so by eating as they did, we may be able to perform to that level as well. Something to look out for is missing out on specific nutrients, such as Vitamin A, D and calcium from dairy products. You may need to take supplements, but before making any changes to your diet, talk with your doctor.

The ambiance is elegant and traditional, with bohemian accents that make this newer restaurant inviting. There are three different seating areas for your enjoyment: The first can be seen as soon as you walk in and is used for a normal dining experience, complete with booths and tables. As you continue throughout the space, there is a cozy lounge with plush couches and hanging lanterns accompanied by a wall filled with different varieties of wine. Continuing on towards the back of the bistro, there is a full wine bar with bar top tables that seem great for enjoying some of their Happy Hour Specials that are every Tuesday through Friday from 4:00 p JII. to 6:30 p.m. The menu is diverse and includes: beginnings, soups and salads, signature selection entrées, flatbreads, hoodies and a meat and cheese plate.

Students Gabriel Escobedo and Brenda Ferro were among 11 others who attended the spring break trip hosted by CSUSM's Campus Recreation. The week long trip was both recreational and educational. Gabriel Escobedo, Intramural Coordinator of Campus Recreation, said that one of the best moments on the trip was mountain biking in Moab. Escobedo described how crazy mountain biking could be in Moab, A great deal of people travel from around the world to experience mountain biking here. Escobedo explained how different mountain biking was because of shifting gears and the changing terrain, and how a person tends to get absorbed in the moment. "With mountain biking you focus on the moment and forget about any stresses, about homework and whatever else is going on in your life," Escobedo said. Participants spending spring break in an exciting way. Photos submitted by Beatriz QuinterofromCampus Recreation. It isn't only about being adventurous, the trip also allowed students to interact with nature and learn to appreciate it. Escobedo explained how important it is to experience nature and step outside of the everyday life. "Experiencing how life is like outside of our cars, outside of iPhones and interacting with nature itself is important," Escobedo said. "It is realizing that there is truly something there in nature to preserve." The spring break trip also had its educational moments where students were taught principles used when experiencing the wilderness. Escobedo explained how the staff presented these principles through activities, films and group discussions. Whether it was hiking, sightseeing or mountain biking, the truly memorable aspect of the trip was the connections that were forged and the friendships made along the way. Escobedo expressed how much he enjoyed the group of students that accompanied him on the trip and how inspired he was by seeing those students gain a wonderful experience. Ferro talked about her fellow spring breakers as well and how appreciative she was of having them on the trip. "During our cross country mountain biking, my sister and I were so slow, I thought they would say come on lets go but they were so supportive," Ferro said. 'They were very patient even though they had to wait for us." During hikes, Ferro explained that although they were challenging, being with her group made the experience that much better. "We got a along pretty well and talked the whole way and took pictures," she said. The trip included U peopie: 11 CSUSM students and two staff members. The total cost of the trip was approximately $350, which included activities and lodging. The v trip to Utah occurs every year during spring break. There is also an upcoming three day trip hosted by campus recreation to Sequoia National Park. Sign-ups are held at Campus Recreation beginning Monday, April 7. "The outdoor and recreational activities in general is a .great opportunity to get away from the stresses of life and experience nature," Escobedo said. "CSUSM students should join and take to advantage of it."

During the performances, various clubs, community members and classes will set up tables that offer resources on issues like violence against women. Then the evening transitions into a survivor's circle. Everyone sits down and candles are passed out to the group. This is an opportunity for sexual/domestic violence or sexual exploitation victims to share their stories. "For a lot of people, it's their first time, You ended up having a significant amount of people going up to share their stories ," one of the event organizers, Karen Guzman, said. After the discussion circle, Take Back the Night transitions into a march around campus where participants chant to reclaim their bodies and voices. Afterwards, the group gathers to list their demands for promoting recovery against sexual assault and ending sexual violence against women. Take Back the Night occurs on college campuses across the country and generally only reaches students. "One of the really cool' things that the student committee coordinating Take Back the Night is doing is that they are making the program bilingual and encouraging the community to attend," Guzman said. Take Back the Night will take place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on April 17 in Kellogg Library Plaza. Opinion Editor: THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9,2014 M isrepresentation o f v alues o n c ampus B Y G LORIA M AGALLANES SENIOR STAFF W RITER During U-Hour on March 3, CSUSM students heard some unusual commotion coming from Library Plaza. A crowd began to gather around a woman standing on top of a cement bench with a Christian Bible in hand. Those who stopped to listen glanced at each other out of confusion as the woman condemned everyone around her to a pit full of fire. Although shocking, scenes similar to this happen several times throughout the school year. As many CSUSM students have gotten used to hearing the judgment and condemnation that comes with these ignorant rants, it still never fails to leave a bad impression. "I thought it was rude because they're judging, the Bible says you shouldn't do that. It's kind of hypocritical," a CSUSM student, Tayeler, said. The people responsible for the controversial speeches are not CSUSM students. They are older folks who come every once in a while to remind us that we are sinners. ,,, These^ folks ., call .them-,; selves Christians and believe they are doing God's will by preaching the gospel of salvation, which says, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15). Where is the line drawn? This woman, who claimed to be free of sin, was verbally abusing people and picking on whoever passed by. It seems that she and her companions have misunderstood God's purpose. 1 John 1:8 says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." In other words, if we did not sin then we wouldn't need God's existence, and there'd be no need for salvation. "It's distracting on a school campus. I think they shouldn't allow that here but it is freedom of speech and I respect that," CSUSM student, Katie, said. Summer, who is also a student at CSUSM, had a different perspective. "I wish the campus would do something about it; it's to the point where they're harassing people. It's not even freedom of speech anymore when it becomes harassment," Summer said. According to the Christian Bible, when Jesus spoke of repentance and salvation he attracted multitudes of people, reaching thousands of hearts. Jesus approached his people with love, care and no judgment. Jesus himself ate with sinners, and when those around him judged him for doing so he simply replied, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Mark 2:17). The most troubling part of this commotion is the negative light it sheds on Christianity. If these people leave a lasting bad impression on students it may even have an effect on the religious groups on campus that are trying to reach out to fellow classmates. "They make religious groups look bad on campus because they make it seem like God is an evil person but God is not like that, he's the opposite," Summer said. The truth is that not all Christians are judgmental, hurtful, critical and naive. In reality, it is ignorance that leads people to do things such as this. The Bible says, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Ephesians 4:29). This world is a big place. Within the walls of every city, state and country exists people with different levels of conviction and beliefs. People shouldn't allow one bad testimony to have a negative impact on their belief in God, because in the end it's just you and him. Lauren Hammond cougarchnon.opinion@gmail.com 7 C elebrate d iversity B Y K EVIN A D S O N CONTRIBUTOR Education is one of life's most valuable opportunities. With each generation we are pushed to learn more and more at an earlier age. With most educational facilities in the US, they aspire to cremate a well-cultured and well rounded individual for higher education to follow. With that being said, there's a huge emphasis on learning about black/African American culture during February, mostly black history. So why is it that we're meant to be so well rounded, yet we only learn about and celebrate one month and one specific race or background at a time? Before coming to college I knew absolutely nothing about Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15), Women's Herstory Month (March) or even LGBTQ History Month (October). So why is it that there's a huge push to learn about black history, but not other histories? In my opinion these need to be taught in high schools and learned about. They are part of the real world, and they deal with the understanding of diversity and inclusivity of others. Some may argue that learning LGBTQ history or women's history may go against certain religions or rights. Others may argue that if one culture is to be celebrated, like Hispanic Heritage • month; and then all should be celebrated. Other cultures are celebrated throughout the year and I believe that at least by high school courses, they need to be spoken about. This creates tolerance, or at least an education on other cultures and their success. Some fail to realize that we are a diverse country and many things are contributed from various cultures and identities. The United States is not made of one culture; '* it's a melting pot full of multiple. There's no reason one culture should be taught more than the next. Bringing these to high schools will help develop knowledge and tolerance of many different people that represent the United States of America.

During U-hour, Alpha Xi Delta passed out blue lollipops with facts about autism attached to them to educate the public about how prevalent it is becoming. It has been recently announced .that, "1 in 68 children are being diagnosed as having an autism spectrum disorder" (Autism Speaks). It is important that the public is educated about this disorder because of how often children are now being diagnosed. April 2 was World Autism Awareness day. During this day, we encouraged everyone to wear blue, as well as to "Light it Up" blue during the entire month of April. This means that an individual can purchase a blue light from Lowes or Home Depot and replace their front porch light with the blue light to spread autism awareness.

According to a live RT report on Oct. 12, 2013, millions of people in 500 cities worldwide marched against the company Monsanto in the hopes of influencing others to boycott Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). GMOs are organisms whose genetic material have been altered using genetic engineering techniques, and thus do not naturally occur in nature. GMOs have been around since the early 1990s, and • have been a main contributor to the vapid growth in the consumer marketplace. With the genetic resistance to diseases and pests intertwined with natural DNA, the crops being yielded have been substantially greater than in previous years. But, all it takes is one bad seed to make any fruitful idea go sour. 4 However, even with the consideration of cross-contamination, the biotech has consistently come out on top. In 2012, Proposition 37 proposed to Californians the idea of GMO Labeling. If this proposition had passed it would have made it mandatory for companies to label their genetically modified foods. The loss was by a fraction of only three peroent. Community members have become outraged.

B Y NOELLE FRIEDBERG SENIOR STAFF WRITER A new ad airing in Washington D.C. is putting pressure on the Supreme Court to televise its proceedings. This twenty-nine second ad is funded by the Coalition for Court Transparency. The Coalition is calling for cameras in the Court in order to foster a "more open judiciary." Initially, this sounds like an excellent idea. Why shouldn't Americans get to view Supreme Court proceedings when it is our tax dollars that fund them anyway? There is one problem with this new initiative. However, it is one that should perhaps be given more thought by those in support of transparency. The issue is that if Supreme Court proceedings are televised then there is a greater likelihood that what- The Court will be run by public opinion instead o f the law which is exactly why many of the justices are against the use of cameras. ever the justices say will be distorted by various news sources, and even perhaps politicians, in order to meet their own agendas. The Court will be run by public opinion instead of the law - which is exactly why many of the justices are against the use of cameras. While transparency is a pillar of any thriving democracy, in this case there is too much risk that justices will give into the pressure to make decisions simply to ap- pease audiences. The reason the justices have their jobs in the first place is because they have dedicated a significant amount of their lives to studying the law, and they know the law far better than the average viewer who would be watching the proceedings. Because of this, Supreme Court decisions should not be based only on public opinion, but in careful deliberation and review of the law. The Coalition makes the point that there have been other courts in the nation that allow their proceedings to be televised. But the difference here is that there is no jury in the Supreme Court; the justices themselves are the jury. Courts that allow their proceedings to be televised would never allow the jury's deliberation and discussion to be seen by the public. This is another reason that having cameras within the Supreme Court would not work.

Holistic care versus toxic care for cancer patients B Y ALEX MARAVILLAS FASHION COLUMNIST Current American medical practices do not necessarily cure or treat patients, but instead prolong the life of those with illness with the use of expensive, artificial and poisonous material. Cancer is a prevalent evil in our society. According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), in 2013 there was an estimated 144,800 citizens diagnosed with cancer: making that 16 new cases every hour. Alongside that data, cal.gov also included that an estimated 55,485 Californians died; approximately 152 deaths each day. As technology has advanced, so has the life expectancy of cancer patients. "In the early 1900s, few cancer patients had any hope of long-term survival.

Today, more than three out of five . cancer patients will be alive five years after diagnosis and treatment," the CDPH said. How will those three out of five cancer patients fare in those five years after diagnosis? Unfortunately, the most common practice in the United States incorporates radiation and chemotherapy. Chemo and radiation definitely have an effect on cancer, but they also have an effect on the patient's body and mental state. Chemotherapy and radiation ultimately destroy the body along with the cancer, causing patients to suffer in a prolonged state of pain and discomfort. Is that really surviving? There are alternatives to these toxic treatments.

Despite all of the talk surrounding Fracking, not many people actually know what it is, and what effects it can have on the environment. According to What-IsFracking.com "Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock layers deep within the earth ." This website claims that Fracking will result in both internal and external benefits to our country and suggests that it is a completely sate way to extract natural gas from underground. However, nowhere on this site does it give any indication that this method of extraction could pose a threat to the environment or thé people that surround the site. On the other side of the spectrum, DangersofFracking .com dives deeper into the chemicals used to undergo this process. D angersofFracking .com asserts that during the pro- cess of Fracking, "methane gas and toxic chemicals leach out from the system and contaminate nearby groundwater." Furthermore, in the critically acclaimed documentary Gasland by Josh Fox, Fox travels to areas where Fracking occurs. During his travels, Fox uncovers a number of severe issues related to Fracking; such horrors included sickness and tap water catching fire. He asks his viewers to take action and speak out against Fracking and the negative impacts it has on our environment. Like Fox, I ask you to look at the biological effects Fracking-has on the environment and do research into exactly what it is and how it can affect the environment we live in. It's easy to pretend like it's not important when it's not happening in your backyard, and it's even easier to ignore when money is to be made in our capitalistic^ society. But, if we continue to let this go on it will eventually lead to detrimental environmental effects that may never be fixed. So get informed and speak out against Fracking, (Cancer continued f rom page 8). and even cure any illness you may have. The reality is that eating and applying healthy, organic substances speeds up our immune system and can makes it stronger, which can then lead you to heal completely. Most cures start within our immune systems. It's that easy, and there's nothing wrong with it. Just ask the people at the Gerson Therapy Institute of San Diego. It is a non-profit organization that dedicates its time providing education and training in the Gerson Therapy. The therapy was originally developed in the 1920's by Dr. Max Gerson and consists of a non-stop treatment of a raw, organic vegetarian diet as well as coffee enemas and natural supplements. According to the Gerson Therapy website, the program "treats many different conditions by healing the body as a whole, rather than selectively targeting a specific condition or symptom." Unfortunately, due to U.S. restrictions on providing holistic medical care for cancer patients, the closest Gerson Therapy Clinic is located in Mexico. The cancer-healing center has an extremely strict protocol. Aside from the therapy's dietary guidelines, all prospective patients must go through an application pro- cess and meet a certain criteria before being admitted to the clinic. Once admitted, patients must bring a loved one or companion with them and are recommended to stay for three weeks for optimal care and training. After their three-week stay, patients are then able to go home to continue their treatment on their own. If you are interested in learning more about cancer treatment alternatives, check out the Gerson Therapy's website for further details: http://gerson.org/gerpress/. You can also watch the Gerson Therapy documentary and see first hand what they do via Netflix or YouTube, which is entitled "The Gerson Miracle."

"When class presentations are part of a course, students often want to shy away from it. They're intimidated, embarrassed; it turned out to be one of the most important elements for me in my entire career in teaching," Balian said. Professor Balian had been out of teaching for a few years and was running his other businesses. He realized he missed teaching, so he applied to California State University, San Marcos for an adjunct position and started teaching in January 2007 in the College of Business Administration. When asked what he loves most about teaching, Balian responded without hesitation that it is the "students...and really trying to help them in their future careers." He hopes that when students take his classes, they learn "more about the practicality of the real world in business and otherwise." He encourages* class participation and engagement with the material. "You can't afford to be a good student. In today's world, global marketplace, U.S. economy, you've got to be outstanding," Balian tells his students. Professor Balian usually teaches Data Analysis (BUS 302), Foundations of Operations Management (OM 302) and Operations Management (OM 305). He also currently has five senior experience research teams. Outside of teaching, Dr. Balian performs in a band called The George-Edwards Group. He also writes and publishes many books (academic and non-academic), including Buddha Plays 18 and The Graduate Research Guidebook (fourth edition). Professor Balian will soon be releasing a new book titled Buddha Meets the Beatles. Earn your credential and master's degree in education at Azusa Pacific.

Political and social turmoil that once plagued this African country cut down more than thought possible. The streets are safer than they were once upon a time, and the one to thank for this brighter future is Zimbabwe's most powerful man, General Matsika. But the gangs of Zimbabwe do not take kindly to Matsika's valiant efforts. His reign is not safe, and neither are his children. Nancy Farmer's brilliant science fiction j iovel, The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm analyzes a futuristic society whilst composing a story of adventure and thrill. Still as poignant and charming as when it was published in 1994, Farmer's novel is well worth the read. If deep novels aren't your taste, then fear not. Farmer delivers humor and clever character writing in spades. When Matsika's children are kidnapped, his wife takes matters into her own hands and enlists the help of three mutant detectives so named Ear, Eye, and Arm. Ear's powerful sensitivity to sound, Eye's equally powerful, keen sense of sight and Arm's empathie sense of touch all must soon be used to save Matsika's children. But Tendai, Rita and Kuda embark on a perilous adventure of their own as they flee from danger to safety then back again to danger, meeting both enemies and allies along the way. Their once sheltered lifestyle collides against the brutal practices of the slums, and they must learn how to adapt in this new world if they hope to survive. Survive long enough, at least, for the three odd detectives to hopefully rescue them just in time. The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm earned a well-deserved Newberry, Honor Award since its publication, and it remains a powerful piece of literature in the science fiction genre. Shield policy [which deals with alcohol, drugs, hazing and related issues] and our current risk management policy at CSUSM. That article didn't change anything [with our procedures] because we have correct and proper policies in place, but it reminded us that we need to look towards the future." While SAE has nationally received negative publicity, few articles have highlighted the many chapters doing positive work in their communities. For the past six years, the California Alpha-Gamma chapter has participated in a project in New Orleans where" they rebuild the area due to Hurricane Katrina and the recent oil spills. They also do a beach clean up on a regular basis. CSUSM's chapter also donates a lot of money to the Children's Miracle Network and to researching Crohn's Disease. McKinney explained that thé fraternity's adoption of the second cause is due in part to the fact that two of their chapiter brothers have Crohn's and Colitis. California Alpha-Gamma believes strongly in not only giving back to their community, but their members being leaders on campus as well. "We have a lot of brothers in our fraternity that give back to the community, like ASI President Matt Walsh and Joseph Sandoval, who was the O-Team director last year and currently works for the USU. We also have Charles Sullivan, who worked at the LGBTQA Pride Center for a while," McKinney said. * CSUSM's chapter aims to continue this trend of giving back to the community and building strong campus leaders in future years. McKinney says that implementing the pledging ban is an honor that will help SAE to become even stronger.

So goes this popular Taylor Swift song about living it up. Well I don't know about her, but I'm feeling more like "42." Yeah, I'm an old soul, but that's not what I'm talking about. 42 is a 2013 baseball movie that tells a true story. Didn't see that one coming, did you? The story is that of Jackie Robinson, the first black player to play Major League Baseball (MLB) and break the racial lines of his day. Like any true story that deals with race as a basic plot element, the story is inspiring and uplifting. Chadwick Boseman does a wonderful job reincarnating Robinson's story, as do all the other characters. What surprised me most about thisfilmwas who was 0 7. " Raise Y o u r W e a p o n s f t.

Most people don't think of true stories when they hear that name, but here he is, and, just like always, he scores big in acting. Naturally racism gets the boo of disapproval from this movie, which is most prominent in Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman's (Alan Tudyk) incessant rambling against him during a game about halfway through the movie. Needless to say, ^ Chapman gets his just desserts. There's also a strong endorsement of "turning the other cheek," mostly from Rickey to Robinson. 42 makes it clear that while refusing to strike back at someone who struck youfirstcan*» be painfully difficult, it is the better choice. 42 is a movie that speaks for itself; capturing the essence of a movie like that in a measly 500 words just won't cut it. 42 gets 5 paws. 09.

A former northern Californian convention established by comic vendor John Barrett, this event grew to become a "sister" show of the famous Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC). Organizers, according to the Comic-Con website, moved the show to Southern California when the Moscone Center in San Francisco went through construction in 2012. A year later, it received a new name: Comic-Con International Presents WonderCon Anaheim (WCA), after having successful years at its new location. WonderCon will take place this year during Easter weekend, April 18 to 20. The special guests include co-publisher Jim Lee of DC Comics, artist Cliff Chang and writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Earlier in February, the Divergent: "The Mediocre Dark Horse" movie. Other events include panels on a wide variety of topics and a costume masquerade. Tickets may still be available for purchase, but only through their online service in comic-con.org. This year, there will be no onsite badge purchases.

Throw in some action sequences, impressive visual effects, young up and coming actors/actresses, a love story and a best-selling novel as inspiration and you have the formula for a successful Hollywood blockbuster. Centered in post-apocalyptic Chicago, Veronica Roth based her story on a dystopian society where citizens are divided among five groups (factions): the Selfless "Abnegation," the Honest "Candor," Peaceful "Amity," Knowledgeable "Erudite" and the Brave "Dauntless." In their society, they evaluate every coming of age teen in order to determine which faction they belong in. Abnegation-born, Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene Woodley) learned that her results were inconclusive. This causes her to be "Divergent," someone the government cannot easily manipulate and control. Eager to keep her identity hidden, Tris claimed Dauntless as her chosen faction and must not only prevent the government from discovering her threatening identity. However, she must prove she is Dauntless wor-. thy. attachments that the novel developed. Rather than be the enemy of Tris, Peter (Teller) was more as an immature boy only present to add a comedic appeal. Maggie Q portrayed Tori, a trusted confidant in the novel, as a distant stranger, The only characters shown with accurate depictions and steady character devel-w opment were the two main characters.

T h e most expensive is a private r oo m f o r $900 per m onth . E ve n with recent cutbacks on p rices, students f ee l living at T h e Quad is a rip-off.

CSUSM's last home softball games ended on a high note as the women's softball team took two consecutive wins on Sunday's doubleheader of 8-0 and an impressive 19-0 against La Sierra University. Other than locking in their #2 rank position, the game was more than a victory for the Lady Cougars as they played their last two home games with seniors Theresa Houle, Alyssa Dronenburg and Alicia Ingram. The Cougars were in high spirits as they took their first victory of the day, making it their 10th consecutive win of the season. The first game ended on a roar as Houle hit her 15 th home run of the season and freshman Jessica Guillen closed the victory in the 5th inning, bumping up the score to a solid 8-0. After honoring the three graduating seniors, The Cougars started game two with a bang, clocking in a score of 5-0 by the 1 st inning. As the team stole base after base, the score climbed and hit an incredible 18-0 by the end of the second inning, pushing Houle and Dronenburg into the top 5 players of the NAIA and giving them their 16th (Houle) and 15th (Dronenburg) home runs of the season. Freshmen Kimberle Smith and Olivia Lucatuorto both made 3 hits, giving them a total of 6 doubles throughout the game.

April 15 marked the last home game of the season however, the Lady Cougars aren't finished yet. They will take their 42-3 record to Northern California to play three more doubleheaders April 21-23, to close the season and then head to Columbus, GA to participate in the A J J . Conference Championships May 3-5. Although the 2012 season of women's softball is coming to a close, this won't be the end of the game for some seniors. Alyssa Dronenburg is one of two Americans recruited to play for UVV Utrecht, a professional team in Netherlands. Dronenburg's-batting coach, Jim Burney, spoke of her technique saying, "Through the years, everyone wanted to change Alyssa's batting style, but she's managed to maintain her own. When coaches wanted her to change, she always went back to what she can do, and look at her now." I UPCOMING ä ä ä BS 4 /2 1 Men's Baseball (DH) v.s.

Donations being accepted for 2012 senior class gift MARCOS CHRON S TAF F W R I T E R With commencement nearing, the 4th annual Senior Class Gift Campaign is attempting to reach their goal of $4,000. The campaign makes it a point for graduating CSUSM students to donate for the well-being of current and future CSUSM students and their college experiences. While any amount of money is an acceptable contribution, there is a recommended donation of $20.12, as representative of the seniors' class year. According to the Senior Class Gift Campaign website, "By making a Senior Class Gift of any size, you will make a significant difference in the quality of programs, the lives of students, and the atmosphere on campus!" The website also states why graduating seniors should make contributions for reasons such as boosting CSUSM's national rankings, to be listed in the commencement program as a donor and to create an environment of giving back. The campaign has raised almost $1,500 so far. To make a donation to the campaign, go to www.csusm. edu/giving/annualfund/seniorclass.html, fill out a donation form and drop it off in Craven Hall, Room 5308-B. "The goal is participation rather than a particular dollar amount," Associate Director for Annual Programs, Sean Briner, said. On April 19, the CSUSM Women's Center will be hosting the 6th annual Take Back the Night, an event featuring activities where individuals will speak out against sexual assault. Beginning at 5 p.m. in Library Plaza, the event will include various activities including spoken word, a resource fair and a candlelight vigil and will culminate with a march down Twin Oaks Valley Road. "[Take Back the Night] is an opportunity f o r women to take back their fears of the night. It's a chance to give a voice [to] women who have survived domestic violence or assault," Gender Equity Peer Educator, Raihana Siddiq, said. According to the Women Center's website, 1 out of every 6 American women have been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. "We want people on campus to see that domestic violence and assault is a serious issue," Siddiq said. The Take Back the Night resource fair will prove service s t o s tudent s w h o h av e experienced domestic violence or who wish to learn more about the topic. During the fair, there will also be performers reading poetry, performing dance routines and singing. Following thè fair, there will be an opportunity for individuals to share their stories regarding assault in a "speak out circle." The event will conclude with a march down Twin Oaks road for all who wish to join. Participants will make posters in an effort to make this issue more visible to the public. "Women need . to speak out and not be embarrassed about their experiences. This is a serious issue, and we hope that this event makes that abundantly clear. This serious issue so often gets trivialized, but we want people to see that this exists and it's real," Siddiq said.

Student Center 1 7,201 2 In this year's Recyclemania competition, CSUSM failed to reach its goal of a first place victory, for the eighth time. Recyclemania is a 10-week competition that ended on March 31. It was conceived in 2001 at Ohio University and Miami University in an effort to encourage colleges and schools to recycle more. Since its conception, it has grown to the point that over 600 schools, including universities, colleges, community schools and even some schools in Canada, compete each year. There are two weeks of "practice" for new schools to see how well they do on the program. Then the real competition lasts for eight weeks. The school with the highest percentage of recycling waste products wins. We have housed the Recyclemania trophy in the Dome in a glass case these past seven years, but this year, it will have to go to the home of the 2012 first place winners: American University in Washington D.C. Our school joined in on the competition in 2005, competing against 45 other campus and coming in first place. Ever since, we have competed every year, continuously coming in first place, except for this year. CSUSM, being such a young school, was built to support the "conservation" style, allowing the new faculty and administrative staff to endorse the whole idea of recycling, which has helped the university to win seven years in a row. "We started recycling in general in 1992 when the school doors opened. We are looking at the next generation. The goal is to serve the communities," CSUSM Recycling Program Coordinator, Carl Hanson said.

"By expressing the anger, even if it's an impotent anger, I ' m able to purge that depression," Jaffe said.

However, with the new Though the introduction of S TAF F W R I T E R these two new storylines is intriguing, we haven't seen very much of the other main characters. For example, Daenerys was only given one scene in each of the first two episodes of this season. I t' s understandable that the writers have to cram so much content into each episode. At this point in the season, the story is moving incredibly fast due to the multiple storylines. I t' s a little difficult to follow, and it can all seem intimidating to new viewers. Though i t' s still early inthe season, w e'r e seeing a slow build up to something big. While i t' s a bit confusing at times, the new season is shaping up to be just as memorable as the first.

C HRI S G IANCAMILL I 17,2012 F REDRIC K M IS1E H S TAF F W R I T E R Nearly two months after it was brought to the attention of the student body, the permits in the following elevators have not been changed: Arts Building, both elevators in Social and Behavioral Sciences Buildiñg, Markstein Hall, and D-building of the University Village Apartments. Only the permit in car number 3 of the Parking Structure has been updated. When I wrote the article f o r the Feb. 28, 2012, issue of the Cougar Chronicle, I spoke to Regina Frasca, head of C SUSM 'J S Risk Management Department. Frasca said it was a matter of scheduling the state inspectors. If the state inspectors could not be scheduled in time, a university inspection team would ensure the safety of our elevators, though they lacked the power to issue permits. But if the permit in PS1 has been updated (formerly expiring on March 1 7,2011 , the new permit expires A ug. 25, 2012), why d idn' t the inspectors check and update the other elevators? The state inspectors were here sometime between Feb. 28 and April 10 (when this was written), yet someone dropped the ball and only one permit was updated. The j o b was lef t unfinished. This is an insult to all students, as our tuition is supposed to cover the costs of bringing in state inspectors to ensure the safety of our elevators. It is also against California law to operate elevators with expired permits (California Code, Title 8, Section 3001 (c): N o elevator shall be operated without a valid, current p ermit...) . If we students are made to pay higher tuition and parking f ee s each semester, then it is not above our pay grade to expect top-of-the-line services when it comes to the safety of our students. I f , as this case demonstrates, the expectations are not met f o r whatever reason, we have the right to demand our expectations be met. C SUSM' s administration and Risk Management Department either need to bring back the state inspectors to update the permits or shut down all elevators with expired permits pursuant to California state law. In the meantime, should you get stuck in an elevator, do not try to climb out. Use the hotline in the elevator to call f o r help and stay inside the conveyance. This way, n o one can get seriously injured or killed. Fun wibh Science bu Stephen Di Padova Y O T 1 SÓÍD -mt SW puno is r o t ô ptônet l oi n t l f our T ^/Iciíí!

The book includes snippets of major story arcs, starting with "House of M " #8 f ro m 2005 and ending with a por- tion of "Point One" #1. The sections feature the key characters in the event, especially the mutants Hope Summers and Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch). Though it allows readers to quickly catch up to AvX, they would need to get the rest of each section's story arc to fully comprehend what occurred. Marvel released a f re e AvX program guide in print and online that lists current issues in the event, a much cheaper option compared to the trade paperback (retail price: $19.99) but does not go deep into the path towards the event. Avengers v.s. X-Men # 2 will be hitting shelyes on Wednesday, April 18. Marvel already sent its previous issue to second printing with its first crossover issue in New Avengers last week.

Tully, on the other hand, is envious of Kate and the family she never will have. Throughout the span of three decades, their friendship is put to the ultimate test as Kate and Tully experience loss, love, heartbreak and happiness.

Larry Reitzer: the man behind the story M ELISS A M A R T I N E Z S TAF F W R I T E R On April 12, CSUSM welcomed television writer and story editor Larry Reitzer to meet with students interested in pursuing a career in the film and television industry. A fte r opening with his experience pitching his first successful pilot, Reitzer welcomed questions and discussed his experiences writing and story editing. His television record includes various television shows such as "Ugly Betty," "Twins" and his current project , ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey. " During the Q&A following his introduction, the Brooklyn native discussed his college experience at NYU (majoring in Theater), his early career in casting and his transition into writing f o r television. Reitzer also discussed his venture booking an agent after pitching the idea of two men with completely different personalities, modeled after his and his brothers contrasting personas. Although he didn't begin his writing career until his 30s, Reitzer stressed the importance of networking as much as possible, stating that 100 percent of his networking connections were made in college. He also revealed a tip f o r successfully networking: traveling, stating that Los Angeles and New York were the best places to live to successfully find j obs and internship opportunities. Reitzer also addressed many perspectives in the television industry; however, the primary focus of the lecture was writing. When Reitzer's interest in writing first sparked, he realized the best writing is produced f ro m personal experiences. Reitzer said, " I went out and sold my l ife . All writing has to come f ro m someone's l ife . It d oesn' t matter what kind of writing y ou'r e doing as long as y ou'r e coming f ro m an honest place." A fte r discussing the pre- and post-production phases of writing screenplays, pilots and manuscripts, Reitzer elaborated on the stages of casting f o r both television and Broadway, and the excitement of being on set with actors while watching his vision come to life. For recommendation on successfully selling a pilot, Reitzer reiterated the importance of becoming involved in local theater productions. Any way of involvement, even volunteering to usher performances and shows to be exposed to different styles of direction, as well as becoming familiarized with the environment is one of the best ways .a person can successfully gain experience in the entertainment industry.

More often than not music can make the a ca demic process become less painful by helping students dive into their work.

When I don't feel like busting out the classical music fçr working, beautiful voices with beautiful instruments tend to help concentration just as well. "How It Ends" by DeVotchKa - 1 was first introduced to this song by the film "Little Miss Sunshine/' and I found the haunting strings keep me In tune to my work. "Time" by Hans Zimmer - Instrumental music is a must for studying, especially if you find it difficult to find music with quieter vocals. Film soundtracks are a popular choice.

"Yes that is^true. We know that about 700 passwbrds and user names were compromised," said Margaret Lutz Chantung, a CSUSM public information officer. "I am not aware of any staff or faculty members compromised." A fte r discovering the account break-ins on March 15, the university's Instructional & Information Technology Services (IITS) locked the compromised accounts and the affected students were required to reset their passwords, she said. Accusations tying Weaver to possible identity theft first arose after the university suspected someone had hacked into its computers and tampered with files in the elections f o r Associated Students Inc., the university reported last month. The voting — all of which is done online — ran f ro m March 12 to March 15. But instead of announcing election results on March 16, the university declared the elections invalid, and rescheduled them f o r May. Weaver, a third year business major and one of two candidates running f o r ASI president, was arrested on the final day of online balloting, the university reported. Weaver was jailed March 15 on suspicion of election f raud , unlawful access to a computer or database, and 10 counts of identity t heft . He posted $50,000 bail the following day, according to court records. When arrested, Weaver had Scandal continued on 2.

Administration rethinks student Internet policy in wake of I D thefts M ARCOS CHRON STAFF W RI TER In the wake of the theft of more than 700 student passwords this month, a university official said the campus is in the midst of a reconsideration of the student Internet usage policy. Until now, Cal State San Marcos students were sent an email each semester suggesting that they change their passwords to avoid identity t heft . Faculty members, by contrast, are required to change their passwords every 12 weeks. Teresa Macklin, who works in the university's instructional and information technology services department, said that as the result of the identity crimes uncovered on campus this month, the university is reconsider- ing its policy, and may require students to periodically change their passwords. In the meantime, she advises students to be vigilant in protecting their privacy online. "Students need to be carefu l where t hey'r e signing in. They shouldn't share their password, they should have a password that's sufficient- ly complex and they need to get in [the system] and change it once in a while," Macklin said.

States, breakfas t is o fte n overlooked as a result of the hectic lifestyles that many of us have fallen into. Unfortunately, skipping breakfast has proven t o b e detrimental to o ne' s health. Getting a healthy start in the morning by eating a nutritious breakfast will allow your body to reap m ajo r benefits. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), people w h o eat breakfast are less likely t o b e overweight than those who skip breakfas t regardless of if they eat mor e throughout the day. Furthermore, eating breakfas t a ffect s your satiety center, influencing how f ul l you f ee l during the day, preventin g impulsive snacking and binge eating. Whether you are hungry or not in the morning, you should still eat something. Breakfast provides the energy you need to begin your day arid can boost your mood, according to the NIH. Additionally, according to t h e Centers f o r Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), eating a nutritional breakfast has been linked to positive short-term effects on cognitive functioning and alertness in college students. Knowing that eating breakfast can potentially cause you to excel in academics should be more than enough reason to start doing it. While it is extremely important to your health to eat breakfast, what y ou'r e eating is just as important. Eat foods that are more satiating during breakfast, includ- ing f ruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Eating these foods not only during breakfast but throughout the day will cause you to feel f ul l longer, preventing unnecessary eating or snacking. It is important to avoid eating foods with added sugars as; these foods have no contribution to satiety and will ultimately cause you to eat more throughout the day. Instead of eating high sugar foods, try eating a breakfast with more fiber; y ou'l l eat the same amount of f ood , while eating less calories and being f ul l for longer. Take the extra 20 minutes in the morning to create a healthy breakfast pattern. Not only will you feel better, but you might also increase academic performance and energy throughout your day. #1 Softball cruises to victory 8-0,5-0 Lady Cougars pitch double shutouts against Hope International A LE X F RANCO S TAF F W RI TE R A cool , breezy Thursday evening in San Marcos saw the #1 nationally ranked CSUSM softball team exert their power over Hope International University, sweeping them in a double header.

I t' s the return of the aroma of freshly cut grass, foot-long hot dogs and buttered popcorn that only MLB opening days can bring. The season kicks off Wednesday, April 4 when the defending World Series Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals take on the newly named Miami Marlins: The remainder of the teams will begin their seasons April 5 - 6 and hunt for October begins. Southern California will look to once again return to promise land that is the playoffs , with local teams like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers building on promising 2011 seasons and making some important off-season moves. Look for these teams to make it awfully difficult f o r other teams to make it out of SoCal a winner. The San Diego Padres finished dead last in the National League (NL) west division last year with a 71^91. The Padres will be looking to make their way out of the basement of the MLB and make great strides in progress as they look toward continuing the rebuilding process. Padres added power son with the acquisition of outfielder Carlos Quentin. The Padres lost all-star closing pitcher Heath Bell but replaced him with veteran closer Huston Street. The Angels made some huge noise this off-season with the signing of future hall of fame first basemen, Albert Pujols and All-Star pitcher C J . Wilson. The Angels finished second in their division at 86-76. Expect the Angels to be the favorites to win the American League (AL) west division with their juggernaut offense. The Angels aren't the only team in L A , the Dodgers also call LA home and were just purchased by an interest group which included NBA hall-of-famer and former Lakers great Magic Johnson to the tune of $2 billion. The Dodgers are coming off a season where they finished strong down the stretch and ended the season with a record of 82-79. Dodgers re-signed All-Star centerfielder and MVP runner-up Matt Kemp and have the Cy Young award winner f o r best pitcher in the NL in Clayton Kershaw who looks to only get stronger after winning 21 games last season. Dodgers and Padres open up the season April 5 , in San Diego's Petco Park, while the Angels begin the season April 7 against the Kansas City Royals in Anaheim. 3/23 Men's Baseball v.s.

Perched above the saying, "Sí, se puede" (Chávez's personal slogan, meaning "Yes, it is possible" or "Yes, it can be done"), the statue pays homage to the numerous advancements C háve z made in the steep uphill battle for immigrant workers' rights. Whereas CSUSM honors Chávez with this sculpture, March 31 has been designated as César Chávez Day by the states, Colorado, Texas and California. Across these three states, many public schools, community colleges, libraries and other state government offices close f o r the day t o honor the memory of Ch&vez's work, as well. According to the Cesar Chavez Foundation website, Chavez was born March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona to a Mexican-American family. Chavez's family owned a ranch and grocery store, but eventually lost them both to the turmoil of the Great Depression. Forced to seek work, Chavez's family headed west to California to become migrant workers. It was there that Chavez began to encounter the struggles that his fellow Mexican-Americans were experiencing on a daily basis. A fte r graduating the eighth grade, Chavez worked the fields f o r two years to help support his family before suiting up and serving in the U.S. Navy f o r two years. Upon returning to civilian l ife , Chavez went back to the fields but quickly established himself as an organizer f o r the Community Service Organization (CSO), a Latino civil rights group. He traveled the country urg- ing Mexican Americans, to register to vote, and also delivered speeches on the rights of migrant workers. He would eventually become the organization's president in 1958. In 1962, Chavez left the CSO and co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), another organization geared solely toward the advancement of immigrant workers . Throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s, Chavez would lead numerous strikes across the nation in pursuit of wage hikes f o r the various immigrant fruit and vegetable pickers. He rarely initiated a strike that did not succeed in its goal. Chavez passed away in 1993, but since then, his legacy has made him as a revered historical icon in the Latino community. His active support f o r immigrant workers and his unwavering faith in the ability of grassroots movements t o bring about national change have become legendary. K YL E M.JOHNSON S TAF F W RITE R A memorial service f o r CSUSM student Madison Howe was held at the McMahon house on April 1 »just one week after his passing. Prior to the service, Madison's parents greeted guests, consisting of friends, family, students and faculty, among other relations. His parents expressed genuine interest in hearing about how those u n familiar to them had known their son. Nearby, a table was set up with photos of Madison, some of his favorite books including works b y George Orwell and Thomas Paine, and a sign in sheet and album in which guests could write about their fondest memories of Madison. Following a performance of traditional bagpipe music, the service began with F E AT U R E S 5 of Madison Dexter Howe a prayer, a brief word f ro m the pastor and a reading of Psalm 23. Madison's father, Haydn, then •delivered a eulogy, which spoke highly of Madison's gracious attitude, even in times of pain when he was being treated f o r his peripheral pulmonary arterial stenosis, a condition which affected the arteries in his lungs. At one point in the eulogy, Haydn said how he would love to tell everyone about his son, but that Madison would not want him to, so as to preserve every person's individual perception of him. i Shortly after, a communal eulogy took place in which anyone in attendance could share a brief anecdote about his or her relationship -with Madison. A consensus was reached amidst the stories shared, and that was that Madison was a genuinely good person who selflessly gave of himself to everyone around him, greatly enriching lives. As a gift to those in attendance, and representative of Madison's enthusiasm and talent f o r playing guitar, each guest was given a guitar pick. An essay, written by Madison when he was 17 years old, entitled "Why is L if e so Hard" was included in the memorial program and read aloud by the pastor. In thé essay, Madison set out to answer such questions as "Why is l if e so hard?" and "Why do I exist?" Throughout the essay, he addresses his personal insecurities, namely defining himself and finding his purpose, and overcoming those insecurities. He then addresses his illness, and instead of allowing it to inhibit him, he states, "You just do what you have to do to stay alive." With his inspiring philosophy, and the referencing of the philosophies of V iktôrE . Frankl and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Madison made a powerfu l conclusion. "I have come to realize that without negatives there will never be any positives," Madison wrote. His ability to accept his illness as a negative, and also as a way to see things positively, allowed Madison t o find his purpose in his suffering. "Simply existing seems now to be a great purpose, and still, as young as I am, I have many years to go," Madison wrote. Photo scanned from the memorial program.

JESSIE GAMBRELL S TAF F W RI TE R 1 Last Friday, CSUSM took a holiday in honor of César Chávez. César Chávez Day is< a holiday that celebrates a man who fought f o r MexicanAmericans, who worked farms in the U.S., to have equal rights and to be treated respectfully. He helped them to get decent labor treatment, such as fresh water and bathrooms to use on the j ob . He was also a big activist f o r the unionization of farm laborers. Our school has a statue of him at the top of the César Chávez stairs, in honor of him because CSUSM is located in a very agricultural region. This is one reason our school decided to take César Chávez Day off in place of Presidents' Day. All Cal State Universities have to take the same amount of days o ff . In February, some students wrote chalk on some stairways questioning why Presidents' Day was not favored over César Chávez Day. Other students d on' t mind the observance of this* holiday. "I know we have the César Chávez statue, so i t is like we are celebrating him like our mascot. It kind of makes us different. I d on' t have any hard feelings about it," freshman Bonnie Miani said. Presidents' Day is a nax tional holiday celebrating first U.S. president, George Washington's, birthday. Since 1879, most schools, colleges, businesses, the entire military and government have taken this federal holiday o ff . Why doesn't CSUSM? Many students felt very strongly in opposition toward the fact that our school takes this day off instead of Presidents' Day: "This is America. Honor the holiday that honors our presidents," freshman Bret Unity said. "I think we honor [Chávez] enough. We should give our American presidents a day," senior Weston Ryan said. Personally I feel that we should observe (only) César Chávez Day as respect f o r a man who fought f o r civil/ equal rights f o r farm workers and who achieved the "American Dream", but not in place of our American presidents. One of the great things about our country is the courage and bravery of our Founding Fathers and past presidents, so why ever would we not honor them? They made the backbone for our nation; that in itself should be reason enough to have Presidents' Day o ff , let alone the fact that a majority of students do not even have classes on Fridays, so Presidents' Day would be more of a holiday f o r the entire campus. So what can we do? Have our voice be heard and speak out, this is the best way that we as students can get things done, our voices and opinions are our main tools f o r standing up f o r what is right and I believe that it is our duty as American citizens to stand up f o r what is right. Apparently emboldened by the persistent lack of censure, Weaver now finds himself charged with multiple felonies. But is he the only person potentially guilty of unacceptable behavior in the campus' seemingly permissive environment? How about the other candidates accused of running a s a slate, a violation of the university election code? How about the ASI "higher u ps " who supposedly leaked early election returns to a favored student candi- date? How about the staff member accused of berating students at a campus candidate forum f o r exercising their f re e speech right? How about the administration whose reluctance to act condones harassment and discrimination, cheating and verbal abuse? CSUSM is not "Animal House." We live in a real world, where words wound, where harassment inhibits learning, where wayward college students go t o prison—à world where the administration's avoidance of confrontation leads to costly collisions between campus community standards and people who feel entitled to d ef y them. Nope, compared to CSUSM, "Animal House" looks like kindergarten. Tales f ro m t h e n er d side: C oul d B ioware' s r ecen t r espons e t< f an s s tar t a n e w t ren d i n g aming ? CHRIS GIANCAMILL1 S TAF F W RITE R Last month, Bioware's "Mass Effect 3 " was released to critical acclaim from many review websites such as IGN.com, Gamespot.com and lUP.com. While professional reviewers are pleased with the game, die-hard fans of the series have their objections to the game's ending. The Mass Effect series has always stressed the iniportance of the player' s decisions within the game's storyline leading to numerous outcomes and endings. In the previous games, endings would be specifically tailored to the choices players made. These choices would determine whether certain characters would live or die and the fate of several key locations. In "Mass Effect 3" however, the endings d on' t quite reach the same level of uniqueness. Fans started several social media campaigns including "Retake Mass Effect - Child's Play." The group, set up through the website Chipin.com, was established to raise funds f o r the Child's Play charity while raising awareness f o r their dissatisfaction with "Mass Effect 3 's " ending. Though the group is no longer accepting donations, "Retake Mass E f fect " has accumulated more than $80,000 f o r the Child's Play charity. Thankfully, their pleas have not gone unnoticed. On March 21, Bioware cor founder Dr. Ray Muzyka responded in the blog section of Bioware.com. " ...Exec . Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity f o r those seeking further closure to their journey. You'll hear more on this in April," said Muzyka. Muzyka's post signals an important victory f o r the petitioners and fans alike—it lets fans know that developers are listening. The creators care about the f ans ' reactions to the game and are trying to resolve the issues. Whether Bioware's update to the game is well received by the fans remains to be seen. Hopefully, other developers will take notice of the effort fans have gone through to change a franchise they care for. A llege d election dishonesty f ro m s atir e publication's editor Should CSUSM have e xpecte d t his ? ~or) were not only illegal and f FREDRICK MISLEH S TAF F W RITE R When the news broke over Spring Break that alleged election fraud occurred in the ASI elections, I was pretty shocked. I thought to myself, "How could those running be that corrupt?" Then I heard it was Matt Weaver, an editor of The Koala, a satire publication that has recently gone quiet on the CSUSM campus. To m e , that explained everything. N o one should be shocked by Weaver's actions. His publication, The Koala, is barely tolerated by the administration as an expression of our constitutional rights to f re e speech and f re e press, even if the publication lists ten steps to commit rape and not get caught. Weaver's involvement with the publication is an indicator of his character: foolish, arrogant, and corrupt. Weaver wanted to be ASI president, but he felt the rules d idn' t apply to him; maybe no one had ever held him accountable to social rules we all essentially follow. No one told him issues like rape and drug abuse are not acceptable t o j ok e about, nor did anyone tell him unlawful access to a computer/ database, identity theft and election fraud (the three charges Weaver was indicted would land him in jai l but also were socially irresponsible and publicly embarrassing. In one sense, h o we v e r , the student body is lucky Weaver was never told he couldn't rig elections; now we d on' t run the risk of Weaver' s disruptive behavior r epresentin g CSUSM beyond the pages of The Koala.

I nterV arsity d erecognized a s s tudent o rganization d ue t o s tudent l eader r equirements Religious groups cannot specify faith as criteria for leadership BY KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Christian based organization InterVarsity has been derecognized as a student org. on all 23 CSU system campuses based on their constitution's mandate that a student must be of the Christian faith in order to become a chapter leader. InterVarsity is a student Christian group that originates in late nineteenth century England and became prevalent in the United States as of the late 1930s. It is present on multiple college campuses, working to lead small group Bible studies, introducing students to the Christian faith and collaborating with other student organizations to support various social justice causes. InterVarsity has been present for decades on various CSU campuses, having been at CSU Fresno for 40 years prior to derecognition. On Dec. 21, 2011, former CSU System Chancellor Charles B. Reed signed Executive Order 1068, a memorandum that prohibits campus recognition of student orgs, that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity* color, age, gender, marital status, citizenship, sexual orientation or disability. "No campus shall recognize any fraternity, sorority, living group, honor society, or other student organization unless its membership and leadership are open to all currently enrolled students at that campus," the memorandum said. "Except that a social fraternity or sorority or other university living group may impose a gender limitation as permitted by Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 41500." Under Executive Order 1068, student organizations are permitted to require that potential leaders have been members of the group for a certain period of time and/ or be elected into these positions. If a group did not comply with these guidelines, their respective campus would review their constitution and possibly derecognize them as a student org. In InterVarsity's constitution, which is utilized by the CSUSM chapter, Article V Section 3 requires the Christian faith as part of the criteria for the student leader position. "Leadership of the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at California State University San Marcos involves significant spiritual commitment," the InterVarsity Chapter Constitution said. "Chapter leaders are expected to indicate their agreement with InterVarsity's Doctrine and Purpose Statements and exemplify Christ-like character, conduct and leadership (c.f. the following relevant passages: 1 Peter 5:1-7; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; Galatians 5:19-26; and 1 Corinthians 6:7-11)." Due to the faith-based requirements for student leaders, InterVarsity was officially derecognized as a student org. back in 2012. However, Chancellor Timothy P. White, who became the California §tate University System Chancellor in Oct. 20T2, granted InterVarsity a moratorium for the 2013 to 2014 academic year. This allowed religious orgs, to resubmit their constitutions and bylaws with adjusted language for review.

"Inocente," a 2012 Academy Award winning film, tells the story of a young Latina artist who was homeless and living on the streets of San Diego. The event was organized by a faculty focus group in partnership with the Casa Cornelia Law Firm and was also sponsored by several CSUSM organizations. Casa Cornelia works closely with unaccompanied minor refugees and gave organizers permission to play the film. Guest speaker, Karen GuzmXn, shared her own experience with becoming homeless as a college student and her hopes for change on campus. "Homelessness is actually a huge issue in North and San Diego County. This event was able to highlight the issue of homelessness through another avenue," GuzmXn said. According to GuzmXn, students have the option of indicating whether or not they are, or have ever been, homeless on their FAFSA application. This makes it so that the University is aware of the amount of students that are affected by homelessness. However, GuzmXn says that problems may arise in the accuracy of these num- Photo by Chris Morales CSUSM students have the option to make thefinancialaid office aware of their living accommodations. This includes whether or not they are homeless. bers when students choose not to identify as homeless because they don't understand the qualifications. "I think it's important to highlight homelessness on our campus because then students have an idea of what resources are available on campus, more students who would classify as homeless would realize that they qualify, and most importantly, more resources and funds are set aside for students in such circumstances," GuzmXn said. GuzmXn explains that the University should not only recognize the prevalence of homelessness on campus, but explore ways to fix the issue. "The reason I began organizing around campus issues in general was because I personally felt like this university failed me in many ways. I think that it's important and necessary for students and faculty to be able to honestly acknowledge that our university hasn't always responded to situations appropriately," GuzmXn said. "See, by not acknowledging it, we are part of the problem. You have to acknowledge the problems so that we can work together and improve our university until it's really able to live up to its core principles."

The Student Access Initiative (SAI) proposes moving some three unit classes from twice a week, 75 minute blocks to 50 minute blocks, three times a week. The proposal has been a subject of contention this semester as more members of the campus community became aware of the way it will potentially impact their schedules. The affected courses would vary based upon how department chairs choose to allot time slots based on subject matter, as well as professor and classroom availability. Some students and professors have argued that the revised time blocks could potentially create scheduling conflicts for lecturers teaching at multiple campuses, force them to spend more money in gas and parking permits to be on campus extra days each week, increase professor workload and affect the pedagogical structuring of some courses. Others have argued that the SAI will decrease class conflicts, help solve space problems that have occurred with a growing campus and accelerate graduation rates. On Nov. 21, ASI BoD passed the "Resolution in Support of the Student Access Initiative with the Preservation of University Hour." The decision was made after viewing a presentation about the SAI by Vice Provost Kamel Hadadd, discussing questions and concerns with students interested in learning more about the initiative and reviewing the Q&A posted by the Office of Communications to the student body on Nov. 21. "Kamel came to present at our first Board of Directors meeting in September, because we were concerned that he was going to get rid of University Hour," ASI Executive Committee President and CEO, Haley Perko, said. "That was our main concern at the time. The Student Affairs Dept. was able to work with him and find an alternate way to put the schedule together so that both more classroom space was utilized and U-hour was preserved. This was the main purpose when writing the resolution in support of this initiative." Since these discussions with the BoD, the SAI now proposes retaining U-hour, but moving it from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. to the new time slot of 12:50 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. In their resolution, ASI requested that if U-hour were to be moved again, it should remain within the high-impact time of 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., when most students are on campus. The resolution said that the preservation of U-hour is an integral part of ensuring that Student Life and Campus Climate, which are two of the five institutional strategic priorities included in the University Strategic Plan, remain primary issues at CSUSM. It cites the one hour time block as an important way of preserving time for students to organize meetings, attend events and engage in peer collaboration. While ASI BoD have decided to support the SAI, the resolution calls for more discussion about the proposal and how it will benefit, or hinder, the campus community. "We did have discussion at our board meeting and decided with an ever so evolving campus we need to learn to adapt so that the students are not hurt by our rapid growth," Perko said. "So we saw some flaws in this initiative, but in the long run it is there to help offer more classroom space, to hopefully offer more class sections and ultimately hopefully facilitate a faster graduation rate." Students that are interested in expressing their opinions can contact the ASI Board of Directors or submit comments to the SAI FAQ form at the Planning and Academic Resources web page. Diversity mapping project reveals campus makeup B Y SYDNEY SCHABACKER STAFF WRITER Recently, CSUSM President Karen Haynes was recognized in a U-T San Diego Local Reports article as leading a university population where "more than half of the student body identifies as being a minority." In order to further ensure that students who belong to these minorities may feel properly represented, CSUSM routinely hires Hualani and Associates (H&A) to run a Diversity Mapping Project at the University. These programs are designed to map current diversity, inclusion efforts, equality, initiatives and courses on university campuses. With this information, the administration can better understand the current demographics being taught, and learn how CSUSM can properly tailor services for In addition, rather than alall of the student population. lowing an institution to focus According to the project's on just one or a few sucpage on the CSUSM website, cessful diversity programs, diversity efforts are defined the mapping analyzes all of as including "campus ac- them.

Educational Equity, Inclu- CSUSM students present posters, projects at showcase B Y SONNI SIMMONS STAFF WRITER To a student, university life may seem to center around work and grading, with little opportunity to show off one's creative skills to an audience. Fortunately, students who wish to share their creative accomplishments with other students and faculty members got their wish at the Student Poster Showcase, held on Dec.2 at The Clarke Field House. "The purpose of the poster showcase is to give both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to present their research in a non-competitive environment," said Lauren Stewart, office assistant for The Office of Graduate Studies and Research. "The Student Poster Showcase is the only event on-campus that ad- dresses research from across all university disciplines." The Student Poster Showcase was hosted by the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, in collaboration with the Committee for Undergraduate Research, and sponsored by Instructional & Information Technology Services (HTS). Like most on-campus events, admission was also free. The Committee for Undergraduate Research is an on-campus organization dedicated to, according to its website, equipping students with the proper research so they are "better prepared to rise to contemporary challenges." In this case, taking the form of an outlet for student creative expression and exposition. Held twice a year, the event offers a wide range of poster and digital presentations from students, done in order to showcase their research and creative accomplishments. The event is also often used as a way for students to network with faculty, and is regarded as an important event to add to resumes for future employment or graduate school applications. "The Showcase gives students the opportunity to interact with faculty, peers and community," Stewart said. It is also an opportunity for CSUSM students to support one another and witness the incredible accomplishments made by their peers. The Student Poster Showcase took place at The Clarke Field House during U-hour on Dec. 2, but will return in the spring semester. Family members are always encouraged to attend. sion, and Ombud Services is responsible for the Mapping Project. The Advisory Coordinating Committee for Diversity Mapping is the liaison between H&A, the university, and various constituencies on campus. Dr. Laurie Stowell is the Committee's Co-Chair, and she has high hopes for the mapping's outcome. "We have just finished the data collection phase and next semester will be more active and more important," Stowell said. The Mapping Project is a tool the Committee wants to use to identify strengths, current resources, opportunities and areas needing improvement. Interpretation of the data will allow them to recommend strategies and next step actions. "It will be up to the different constituents of the campus community to determine the impact...what we do with the report is the where the rubber meets the road," Stowell concludes. Students interested in participating in the project or the various diversity events associated with the program are advised to contact the Advisory for Diversity Mapping.

The Cougars Affordable Learning Materials Project (CALM) is creating a strong presence f or affordable learning material on campus. It is a program that replaces high-cost textbooks and other instructional material with affordable alternatives such as open educational resources. A fter attending a meeting f or the CSU System's Affordable Learning Solutions program, CSUSM IITS wrote a proposal that granted funds to faculty in order to replace more expensive textbooks with more affordable learning materials. This proposal was accepted and the campus received a grant of $25,000 in the spring of 2013. A plan of action was developed in the summer of 2013 and a resolution was passed by the Academic Senate in the spring of 2014 that supports the CALM Initiative. n fiSUSM Instructional Developer, explained how the CALM Program works and her hopes for growth in the future. "CALM is a program that discovers instructional material that is at low or no cost," Wilson said. "We solicit proposals from faculty on ways that they can reduce course materials and there are levels of awards based on the amount of work it takes to reduce, the number of students, and the savings." Wilson reported that there are 32 courses that have been CALMed since the program began and this has resulted in an approximate savings of $413,000. "We are just scratching the surface right now. We have so far only hit 32 courses. There is still a lot of room f or improvement and change," she said. Dr. Natalie Wilson, CALM Faculty Fellow and Women's Studies lecturer, explained how she has been involved in this improvement and the expansion of the CALM Project. "This year, I have begun to meet with the ASI Board of Directors in order to get their input on how we can collaborate with them to spread the~ mxrd -about. £ ALM to Photo by Noelle Friedberg Rising cost of text books and supplies stacks up over the course of an academic career. students," Wilson said. "I am also working with Jane Sim, IITS staff, to build a CALM presence on social media." Dr. Wilson also explained how important this program has been in regards to students and their learning outcomes. "CALMing a course usually means reading requirements are streamlined, and students are thus not spending large amounts of money for a text they will only read a portion of," Wilson said. "Further, streamlining required materials often means honing in on essential t ^ t s a n d readings, w hichre- sults in a higher percentage of students completing the necessary work before coming to class. This makes for a more productive and engaging classroom, and what faculty miember wouldn't appreciate this outcome?" Currently, CALM ambassadors are working to spread awareness of the program to the faculty and student body. Bill Ward, Interim CIO and Dean of IITS, says that the process of finding supplemental material is far from easy and it takes a lot of support from everyone involved. "Therç are lots of road blocks to finding supplemental material. It can be very difficult and time consuming," Ward said. "We are hoping to hire on more people to help make this happen more efficiently. What's really important here is that we have the administration behind this program." According to the CALM website, textbooks prices are continuing to increase and these costs are reported to be one of the most prominent reasons that students drop out. Dr. Wilson explains that most students cannot afford all of their course mate- rial for the semester, which has a ' negative effect on how well they do in a class, "As a consequence, students struggle to get a hold of used copies online or wait for long periods in the library for their turn with reserved material," Wilson said. "Others are forced to forego having access to all needed course materials. All of these factors have a negative impact on student success generally and on their grades specifically." Susan Wilson also points out that students often times are so upset by textbook prices and don't necessarily understand that the faculty are not at fault. "It's important f or students to know that the faculty does care, but most of them are actually unaware of the price of these textbooks," she said. "But students do have a voice and they can communicate their concerns." The CALM program provides affordable learning materials for students and allows them to be more successful in their journey to higher education. Students and faculty are encouraged to participate in this program and submit any proposal they might have to CALM down more courses. Continued from page I InterVarsity derecognized as student organization leaders are required to be members of the Christian faith, membership is open to anyone that is interested in learning more about Christianity or wanting to join a close-knit student org. "I make the comparison that we require the President to have a certain background, and in certain levels, they are allowed to discriminate," Hatch, said. " It's a Biblical requirement that our leaders be Christian, so I d on't think that it should be considered discriminatory if it is a faith background." The CSUSM chapter of InterVarsity has been extremely active on campus f or the past 18 years, serving students in a multidimensional fashion. The org. offers a diverse range of small group Bible studies, ranging f rom Latino to athletes to Greek system based. In addition to establishing worship services and a variety of outreach programs, InterVarsity also works with the general campus community. They regularly partner with other student orgs, to sponsor events pertaining to social justice, feed hundreds of incoming freshmen at a f ree, start-of-the-semester barbeque and set up a welcome stand to pass out snow cones to hundreds of students during the first week of school. InterVarsity Area Director for North County, Ramiro Marchena, said that the constitution is not intended to be discriminatory but rather to provide leaders that are wellversed in the Bible and Christian faith in order to answer questions that other members may have. InterVarsity also chose not to utilize the election based system for thenleadership orgs, in order to remain true to their values. "We would be intentionally voting for people that are Christian to become leaders. We probably wouldn't vote in a non-Christian and that would be working the system," Marchena said. Due to their derecognition, InterVarsity will not have the same access to resources that they did as a student org. They cannot have a table at student org. fairs, partner with other orgs, in the same capacity that they previously did or promote the group in spaces other than on public bulletin boards. In addition, not being a student org. impacts the costs and time it takes to reserve a room on campus for meetings. InterVarsity is open to working further with the Chancellor's Office to reach a consensus on. how the matter should be resolved. However, they maintain that they would like to be reinstated as a student org., and should be allowed to select student leaders that are of the Christian faith. "We are going through a process of grieving for the institution where the place we call home isn't home anymore," Marchena said. "We don't hate the CSU system and we understand their policy, but we think that there is a better way to go about this. This is creating a space for no diversity where you can't believe in anything and c an't have requirements for leaders. Our desire is that they will create a space f or people of faith. As a religious org., we can have a president who is Muslim or Christian. We're just asking for that space to be true to ourselves, having been able to do that f or decades on these campuses."

Professor Berman started his film education early and drew inspiration from his childhood. "As kids we had bands when we were like 13, and around the same time we were also making movies," Professor Berman said. "Home movies on super 8 film, which was all the rage back then, and you'd get the little three minute reel and we'd shoot Karate epics or gangster films." After graduating from McGill University in Montreal with his BA, Professor Berman began working as an Assistant Film Editor for various independent film companies such as Troma Entertainment, best known for such flicks as The Toxic Avenger (1984) and Terror Firmer (1999). Following his early work at Troma, Professor Berman went on to direct three documentary films: The Shvitz (1993), My Friend Paul (1999) and Commune (2005). Professor Berman came to CSUSM in 2004 after answering an ad for a job in the Communications department. "I liked the idea of being able to teach at a public school," Professor Berman said. In between a busy sched- ule as one of the university's Associate Professors, he's nearing completion on his fourth film People of Earth, which is an in-depth look at the influence George Van Tassel, his mysterious death and the infamous Integratron—a machine that supposedly functions as both a healing device and time machine—have had on the residents of Joshua Tree. Professor Berman's films are about taking the audience to places that exist in reality but still allowing them to feel as if they're watching a traditional narrative. "I want them to go on a ride and feel like they watched a fiction film," Professor Berman said. When asked if he had any advice for young filmmakers and students, Professor Berman answered with a very thoughtful and inspiring piece of advice: "If you want to make stuff, learn how to effectively use storytelling to prove a point, to persuade people," he said.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT Catholic Club displays faith and God's love through its members C atholic C ougars share w ord of G od t o C SUSM c ommunity B Y SHANICE DAVIS STAFF WRITER The Catholic Club here at CSUSM hopes to spread the word of God through its members. Melinda Lopez, president of the Catholic Club, talked about the possibilities one can experience by simply having faith in God. Lopez said that faith is a strong component of the club. "We are a group of students who meet and seek to grow in communion with God, our faith and each other," Lopez said. "As a club, we seek to provide a safe environment for students to encounter Christ." Lopez explained that celebration and appreciation of God is a large aspect of the faith in Catholic tradition. "Four Sundays before we celebrate the coming of Jesus in the Season of Advent, we prepare our hearts, souls and minds Photo provided by Catholic Club CSUSM Catholic Club recognizes their similarities when focusing on a common goal. for the coming of Jesus," Lopez said. "We celebrate the Christmas season beginning Dec. 24 with the birth of Christ, until the coming of the three Magi on Jan. 6." "Students can take away that they are unconditionally loved by God and that they are called to do amazing things," Lopez said. "Sometimes we are caught up in the business of life and feel alone, insignificant and lost, but being Catholic allows you to be apart of something that is universal, while we are all human and realize we are not perfect, we strive to know deeply who our Lord and Savior is." In addition to receiving and exposing the love of God to others, the Catholic Club also strongly believes in giving back and helping others in need. Their main goal of focus is donating as much as they possibly can to people in need and being a light for Christ on campus as they try to reflect Gospel messages in their everyday lives. The Catholic Club raised over $150 for Catholic Relief Services (CRS) as part of their water project to provide clean water supply for developing communities. The club is also working on another community project for the holiday season. Future plans include sponsoring some families in need for Christmas. Currently the organization is accepting collections of gently used clothing and new blankets for homeless high school aged students as part of a fundraiser. With the semester coming to an end soon, the Catholic Club has only a few more events left. For their last meeting, the club is hosting a Christmas social party from 7 p jn. on Dec. 3 at The Clarke in room 110. Next semester, the organization will be holding meetings from 7 p.m. every Wednesday at The Clarke. The meetings will include social nights, guest speakers, Bible studies and Mass. Lopez encourages anyone interested in building or strengthening their relationship with God to join the club at any of their weekly meetings on campus. For more information visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook. c om/CsusmCatholicClub. "Each and every one of us is at a different point in our faith journey and the mission of our club is to offer opportunity for anyone to share and grow in their faith," Lopez said. Forthcoming student organization, Latter Day Saint Student Association B uilding c ommunity t hat s erves G od BY SHANICE DAVIS STAFF WRITER Students on campus may or may not have heard of the Latter Day Saint Student Association as they are an up and coming organization here on campus. The official name of the LDS church is The Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints. Kathleen Scott, faculty advisor of the organization, gives a snippet of insight on the LDS and of what is to come for the future of the LDSSA. "Our mission is to integrate the intellectual and spiritual aspects of student life at the university by providing opportunities for students to serve, socialize and learn doctrine," Scott said. "We want our members to round out their education with a foundation of faith to move on into the world as useful members of society." "LDS believe that God is our Heavenly Father-He knows us each individually and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to make up for our mistakes so that we can learn and grow and eventually return to him," Scott said. "We believe that God answers prayers, often in subtle ways and He is by our side to guide us through the craziness of life." Serving the Lord is just a piece of what being part of the LDS community is about. In addition, the LDS community also serves others in need. "Mormons serve throughout the world, especially during crises such as the Haitian earthquake and Katrina, wearing yellow T-shirts with the Helping Hands logo," Scott said. Locally they have an annual service day in which members clean up parks and communities; for example, one group raked and cleaned Kit Carson Park in Escondido. The org. also provides services on an individual level that is usually private and not advertised. The LDSSA is about serving those in need and striving to live life as Christ would see justifiable. Next semester when LDSSA is official, they'll have meetings every Tuesday and Thursday during U-hour. Getting to know one another, planning for the future of the organization, along with discussing doctrine and church history will be among some of the topics discussed during the meetings. Scott said that if anyone is interested in joining LDSSA, to feel free and email her at kscott@csusm .edu. "We hope that students take from this experience a confidence that there is deep meaning and purpose in life and that there is divinity in each of us," Scott said. �Features Editor: Nada Sewidan cougarchroh.features@gmail.com Muslim Student Association celebrates Eid in America Group maintains tradition, culture within larger community ing a goat or lamb as a re- about self-improvement." minder of Abraham's own "[It's] a month of Soul FEATURES E DITOR sacrifice and love for God.

Mahmood said that although it is difficult at times, her family continues to maintain their religion within their hearts, home and alongside the community. Celebrity paintball tournament hosted by PEACE Fund Organization offers creative platform to raise money for charity BY ANNE HALL A D MANAGER PEACEFund is bringing together professional paintball stars with star-studded actors and actresses to help earn money for a nonprofit awareness campaign that provides support for youths struggling through matters of life. The non-profit organization, created by Adrian Paul, is designed to help children in need through raising awareness and money by hosting charity events such as this one. Not only is PEACEFund working to earn money for their organization, but the event is also designed to al- Photo provided by ItGirl Public Relations, Inc. on behalf of PEACEFund. low the honored guests to represent their own charities. Winners of each event will be able to choose where the proceeds go. Existing celebrities registered for participating in the event include: Adrian Paul of Highlander, Robbie Jones from Tyler Perry's Temptation, Bret Lockett (formerly played for New England Patriots), Wesley Jonathan of What I Like About You, Kyle Massey of Dancing with the Stars, Walter Jones of the Power Rangers, Jacqueline Toboni of Grimm and many more. CSUSM students, staff and faculty members are encouraged to attend and par- ticipate in community events such as this in order to help raise money and awareness for local charities in need. Weekend tickets can be purchased and daily tickets are just $25 per day with a $15 parking fee. For a oneof-a-kind experience, $1,000 allows teams of up to seven to register together to team up with one pro and one celebrity as part of their group. The two day event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7 at the Camp Pendleton Paintball Park in Oceanside. Tickets can be purchased online or at the event location: 1700 Vandergrift Blvd, Oceanside, CA 92057. Registration begins at 8 a.m. while the celebrity tournament will start at 10 a.m. The organization hopes to host the world's largest paintball battle on Sunday as everyone will come together for a day long war to challenge stamina and wit. Camp Pendleton has a restriction against automatic paintball guns, but bring your rags and microfiber cloths, auto-feed hopper, double triggers, extra pods and semiautomatic paintball guns if you've got them. Of course, loads of water, Gatorade and snacks would be wise accessories. Keep in mind that the entire weekend is intended to be days full of fun. Religions of the world How different religions celebrate important holidays BY ALEX MARAVILLAS STAFF W RITER While Christmas is among the most celebrated this time of year, there are several other diverse religious traditions to recognize. Hanukkah, a religious Jewish celebration, occurs before Christmas every December; however, this is not the holiest of Jewish events, for that would be Yom Kip- pur, the Day of Atonement. Hanukkah traditions include Hanukkah celebrates the lighting the menorah and rededication of the haven consuming traditional Jewin Jerusalem after it was ish dishes such as latkes. scoured by the winnow SyrEid al-Adha is the Festival ian/Greek affiliation.

The Hajj is an Ara- COUGAR bic translation and is defined as a pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid celebrations include dressing up in the finest traditional clothing, visiting family members and holding feasts. Yule, a name for the Winter Solstice, is an event celebrated on Dec. 21 and is a pagan religious festival that was considered traditional prior to the existence of Jesus Christ. Animals were butchered and a live tree was brought into the home as part of tradition. Buddhism is a religion that follows the teachings of Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama. Buddhism teaches that enlightenment can be achieved by acquiring knowledge and abandoning ignorance. Ultimately, Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment as the road to liberty. A Buddhist tradition includes the celebration of the birth and death of Buddha. The celebration takes place every May during the full moon. Whether it's celebrating the birth of Christ during the Christmas holiday, eating latkes and lighting the Menorah for Hanukkah, remembering Abraham's sacrifice for God during Eid or honoring Buddha on a May full moon, it's important to recognize the diversity of cultures and traditions that make up the religions of the world.

H Cougars' advocacy CULINARY CORNER Potato latkes Jewish delight for breakfast BY NOELLE FRIEDBERG OPINION EDITOR Potato latkes are a traditional Jewish dish. They are eaten during Hanukkah because the oil they are made with reminds those celebrating this Jewish holiday of the oil in the Temple that lasted for eight days. My father was raised Jewish, and while my family does not practice the religion, we still like to partake in this tradition by eating latkes this time of year. It has become a new family tradition of ours to eat them for breakfast every Christmas morning. Try them with applesauce, sour cream and cinnamon on top. Even though that sounds like a weird combination, trust me, it's delicious. Yields: This recipe makes about 16 latkes. Ingredients: 4 medium potatoes 1 small onion 3 tablespoons flour 2 eggs V\ teaspoon salt Oil for frying (vegetable oil works well) Directions: 1. Peel the potatoes. 2. Grate the potatoes into a large bowl, using the coarse side of the grater, or use an electric food processor to grate the potatoes. -HELP WANTED/nj'tlBJjJ $15.25 To Start INC. 500 Company •Flexible Hours • Base+commission. -Training provided. n ,_ - Send R esume t o ;a KS@T)Îlût ùfaiïl.

Holiday shopping without breaking bank Cougars' advice on budgeting for this holiday season BY SHANICE DAVIS STAFF WRITER Christmas is approaching and holiday shopping is becoming more inevitable. For college students, holiday shopping can be quite pricey and can put an enormous dent in one's wallet; however, there are ways one can levy some of those expenses. At CSUSM, many students share the same struggle of digging in couch cushions for coins or miraculously running across 20-dollar bills in jean pockets, and for that, students are no strangers to the notion of cost effective shopping strategies. One way to prevent overspending this Christmas is to take a good look at your accounts and weigh the amount of money earned versus necessary future expenses. It's important to set a realistic expectation and admit how much you can spend. It's then that you can decide what stores you are realistically able to shop. "I think you can set limits for yourself and just know how much you have and what you're able to spend," CSUSM student, Troy Stephens, said. Another similar option is to abandon credit and debit cards at home and only withdraw enough money to cover the items you specifically want to buy. "In order for me to go holiday shopping without breaking the budget, I leave my debit cards or credit cards at home and take out the amount of money I could use," CSUSM student Stephanie Cervantes said. "I think knowing how much money I'm trying to spend on each person is a good idea." A similar option is budget out how much you want to devote to each person on your holiday list and withdraw cash accordingly. "What I'll do is have a certain amount that I will be spending on each person," CSUSM student Diana Gar- cia said. "For example, I have three people in my family besides myself and let's say that I 'm going to spend 50 dollars on each person, I'll only take out 150 dollars from my bank account and make sure I carry it in cash so that I don't use my cards." Additionally, prior research of local deals and pricing is a good idea. "I look for discounts on groupons and such," CSUSM student, Heath Brown, said. Regardless of how everyone is going about their holiday shopping, don't forget to rack up on deals to get more bang for your buck. Happy Spending and Happy Holidays Cougars. �Opinion Editor: Noelle Friedberg cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com Don't tolerate intolerance The true meanings of "diversity/9 "tolerance5 Therefore, not all reliSTAFF WRITER gions can be valid.

When it comes to religion and moral convictions, there are those who voice their opinions and those who do not like to hear particular views. Simply because someone disagrees with the religious or moral conviction does not mean they are intolerant. By using correct reasoning, and of course proper manners and behavior, we can even be tolerant when claiming one person is right and the other is wrong about their beliefs. The person who is INTOLERANT is the one who does not allow someone to voice his or her opinion at all. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and convictions and they have arightto voice them. Everyone is biased in one-way or another, but they still have arightto engage in discussions about life, morals and religion. To insult someone for their beliefs, to call them names such as intolerant or bigot, and push them off the floor without allowing them to express their view is not tolerance. It is still not tolerant even if these personal attacks are done in defense of another view, which may not be your own. CSUSM is a place for higher learning; it is not a place for indoctrination. All people and their differing cultures are welcomed to come to this safe place and express their diverse religious views. The only way any environment can truly be safe for religious diversity and serious questions of life and morality is if people are actually tolerant. (Or "if people actually understand tolerance.") So, endure with dignity. Endure with respect. Disagree as you like, and learn tolerance if you have not already, because around here, we don't tolerate people who are intolerant. Mindfulness: Decreasing stress, increasing happiness B Y COLLIN V AZ FEATURES ASSISTANT Mindfulness meditation is a popular Buddhist teaching used to bring balance to one's life and merge mind and body. Buddhism can be considered more of a way of life than a dogmatic religion. Its lessons can be studied and put to use by anyone regardless of age or religious views. Here are four steps that I use and recommend to decrease stress and increase happiness: 1. Mindful Breathing This simple action can be utilized at any time in order to quickly bring about mindfulness. At a time of heightened stress, a friend or parent may have suggested that you "count to ten." In essence, this is a breathing meditation. In our daily lives, we are often so caught up in our thoughts and responsibilities that we forget to establish a connection between our minds and bodies. Whether you are in class, driving to work, doing homework, or just browsing social media, this exercise can improve your attitude and mindset. Begin by exhaling completely, clearing your mind of any particular thoughts. Then inhale through the nose, mentally following your inbreath and feeling the air surge into your body. This is important because it remindsr your psyche that you have a body. After a relaxed inhale, follow the outbreath back out of your nose, feeling your chest move as the air is released from your body. Repeat as needed. 2. Mindful Walking If time permits, mindful walking is a great way to clear your mind. We walk a lot each day and these walks all have one thing in common: they have a destination. Constantly thinking about what is next on the to-do list places our thoughts in the future. Although it is important to remain responsible for tasks we must complete, letting our mind relax and settle into the present moment can lead to less fatigue throughout the day. proves our health as well. Next time you get a break to sit down with lunch or dinner, try this technique. Use your fork and take a bite as you would normally. Now before you target that next mouthful, put the fork down.

Find a comfortable seated position, such as a chair, cushion, edge of the bed, etc. Begin by initiating an inbreath and an outbreath, feeling the air rush in and out of your body. Take a moment to become aware of your surroundings, letting your senses pick up any smells or sounds. If you feel your mind racing with thoughts, bring your attention back to your breath. Count one on the inhale and two on the exhale,proceeding all the way up to ten. A helpful way to describe sitting meditation is the cloud analogy. Imagine your thoughts are clouds in the sky. Focus on the blue sky of the present moment. When a cloud presents itself, you do not want to force yourself to ignore it, but rather acknowledge its existence and let it pass. This can be hard on days when we have a lot on our minds, but with consistent practice, mindfulness will become easier and easier to achieve.

Feelings of cheerfulness arise when we listen to Christmas songs on the radio, when we decorate the Christmas tree, hang the lights and garlands or just drink steamy hot chocolate. And the most important is our family's long lasting traditions that they passed down to us and we will pass down to our kids someday. Coming from a different country - Bulgaria - was not always easy and that is all due to the fact that when I and my family arrived to this new and unfamiliar land, there was some struggle. But eventually we adapted and to this day enjoy and really appreciate being a part of this country. Dur- ing the holidays we vbring our own traditions and share them with other people. On Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, my family and I prepare a whole day to celebrate, and it all starts with me and mom preparing the different dishes. The two main dishes are the cabbage rolls and homemade bread, and each symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ. Meaning that the bread, being made of wheat, symbolizes fertility and growth, and the cabbage rolls are a symbol of baby Jesus being wrapped in a baby blanket. Also, inside the bread there is a quarter. Whoever gets it in one of the bread rolls will have good fortune f or themselves and f or their family, and the oldest family member must split the bread and pass it around. The same goes for having a full table of food, and that means that we will have a prosperous year. There is also some bean casserole and a variety of dried fruits because BY KATIA BRUNSON during winter in our country we don't have any fresh fruits. We also have hardshelled nuts which symbolize good health and strength. After we prepare all the dishes, which need to be vegetarian because it's the end of the religious lent, we set the table with the nuts and dried fruits. We get ready to go to church at night and we go again on Christmas morning, and after dinner we leave the dishes and food out and in that way we leave it for the Virgin Mary, so she can eat to replenish her energy. Another and last tradition my family follows is that when the clock strikes midnight we open our presents, which has always been my favorite part. Besides decorating and waiting anxiously to open presents, the most important and precious thing that is close to my heart is family and tradition. During the holidays we should all share our traditions with either our family or friends.

CSUSM's mission, vision and values statement reflects our institutional commitment to inclusiveness and multicultural diversity. In our celebration of diversity, we do not have to look f ar to find examples of the varied and constructive ways in which the campus community promotes diversity: Conversations that Matter and Diversity Awareness Month (Office of Diversity, Educational Equity and Inclusion); Engaging Diverse Dialogues (CHABSS initiative); the Diversity Mapping project; and the Civility Campaign (Student Life and Leadership)—all of which, of course, amounts t o a partial list of many more campus activities related to diversity.

It's a time for love, farcify, traditions and A Christmas ^ Story reruns. Although Christmas in San Diego is never white with snow, we have many other traditions that take place in the slightly cooler weather. One of my favorite Christmas memories was the first year that my extended family and I celebrated on the beach. Early Christmas morning we packed up our beach gear along with BBQ equipment and headed to the bonfire pits at Moonlight Beach. We had so much fun hanging out in the sun and making snowmen with the sand. It was a new twist on Christmas that became a fun tradition in our family. Another Christmas tradition my family has is watching A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve. Although our family has seen that movie dozens of times it never seems to get old. We enjoy the jokes just as much and can quote almost Photo by Noelle Friedberg Holiday lights brighten the night sky and often are a good way to share holiday enthusiasm. every line word-for-word. Many people use the Christmas season to give back to their community and help the less fortunate. Charities and organizations host fundraisers, food drives and toy drives to remind people that they should be grateful for what they have and to spread the wealth among those who don't have the funds for Christmas festivities. Spending time with friends is also one of the perks of the holiday season. One of my favorite things to do is go Christmas caroling doorto-door in my neighborhood with all my musically in- clined peers. Seeing people's faces light up when they open the door to a Christmas carol is probably one of the most rewarding sights to see. People are so grateful for the gesture and it's a great way to spread holiday cheer. Bonus points if you make the old ladies down the street cry tears of joy. Christmas can hold a religious meaning for some people, but for everyone who celebrates Christmas it is a holiday to remind us of the importance of our loved ones. Christmas celebrates traditions, togetherness and the magic of life. Finding comfort in prayer The importance of praying in my life al relationship with God, I don't have to be fake.

His new album "VENICE" contains 16 tracks that encompass the true spirit of Venice itself by giving you a whole lot of enjoyment you don't want to tell your mom about. .Paak will have you mentally cruisin' down our California coast with tracks like "Luh You," "Drugs" and "Miss Right". His sound two-steps gracefully between genres, mixing some soulful R&B with electronic hip hop and his own unique cadence that will without fail make you want to cadance. The music world is just beginning to hear about Anderson .Paak. He sings about sex, drugs and women, yet somehow or another you'll still find yourself wanting to introduce him to your grandmother.

The Release of HTTYD 2 will have you dragon yourself to stores near you Hiccup and the gang are back with the overwhelmingly anticipated "How to Train Your Dragon 2" thatflewinto stores just this Tuesday, Nov. 11. The sequel to the beloved franchise grossed a whopping $176.8 million in the box office and received an honorable 7.8/10 rating from the critics and a 4.4/5 from the fans on Rotten Tomatoes. If you have yet to experience the humbling act of weeping The Book of Life or "How BullKilling, Skeletons are Kid Friendly" ^ B Y W ILL M CCURDY RADIO ASSISTANT It's not often that a movie involving Meso-American culture makes it to the American mainstream, even less so when it involves La Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), and narrowed further still when the day in said medium is portrayed as anything other than a Halloween themed spooky episode. "The Book of Life" manages to accomplish this while adding in a whiplashing festive and dark atmosphere, combined with comedy at the speed of bullets to make for a truly unique film. The movie begins on the aforementioned holiday with three young children, Manolo Sanchez (Diego Luna), Joaquin (Channing Tatum) and Maria Posada (Zoe Saldana) with Manolo and Joaquin quarrelling over who will win Maria's heart. While they bicker, two spirits named La Muerte (¿ate del Castillo) and Xibalba (Ron Perlman) make a wager on who shall win Maria's heart and place the fate of the souls of the dead as the price. The film deals with three large issues of which two are glanced over while one is given quite a bit of attention. The first to be brought up is that of Joaquin living in the shadow of his father, a courageous war hero who was killed in a fight with the massive bandit leader Chakal (Dan Navarro). The second is mainly present when Maria returns from Europe in that while men simply see her as an object to marry off, she is a strong woman and does not respond well to the chauvinistic advances of those who presume that they can simply have her as a possession. While an excellent theme for sure, it's exceedingly common in modern pieces and is ultimately brushed under the rug during the later parts of the movie. they must come together to fight for peace, and alter the future of humans and dragons completely. This movie is an achievement worth seeing. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a sequel for the ages that gives us all one more gnawing reason to wish dragons were real. MJJilJXIIBW h o l i d a y fi,m w o r t h w a t c h i n g The third and arguably most important issue dealt * Tritìi* with in the movie is living up to the family legacy and it wouldn't be mentioned if not for the vehicle through which it conveys the problem: matador bull killing.

Soaring visuals, stunning scores and a story with so much heart it's no wonder the movie comes so alive on screen, will leave audiences breathless and spellbound. The plot follows protagonist Hiccup and his trusty, much loved, dragon Toothless, as they discover an ice cave teeming with hundreds of new dragon species and a "mysterious Dragon Rider." Hold on folks, the adventure doesn't stop there. The duo finds them at the heart of an epic battle where WÊÊ each fraction of movement of every character is posed and photographed to create seamless motion. The process alone is astonishing. I've been watching this movie every year from my earliest memories. MyVHS copy is surprisingly durable but I did upgrade to a DVD. I can't watch this movie passively and in fact I usually still am brought to tears by the end. Maybe I have just conditioned my response love, or even to take on vast meaning to those receiving these as gifts means everyone is capable of making a difference in someone's life. Another message is more subtle than the usual religious versions of forgiveness. Some things cannot be forgiven and should not be forgiven; genocide is just one of our worldls examples. When terrible things happen in a person's life, any of us can become lost in endless this movie with fresh eyes. The movie packed its 25 minutes with messages regardless of Christian teaching or level of religious adherence. One of these messages is that while we don't have much, we can stillfindsomething to give. When the little boy Aaron plays his song, it is transcendent and (if you have missed this classic to date, here's a spoiler) his gift of music is valued beyond the exotic and expensive gifts of the Three Kings. This idea holds a lot of truth for me. A product of talent, the simplicity of story is not about forgiveness but about the power of love. Infinitely more doable is its message, regardless of love, of the healing of simply letting go of hatred and bitterness. Every year I have watched this rfaovie since I became aware of the world beyond childhood, I have been able to think of current events that call for this timeless truth. No matter what has happened in a person's life, letting go of the poison of habitual negativity will make that person's life better and that's something worth remembering year-round. KHKWÜvl mmâÊÊkSJÊÊÊÊÊLmÊËm l i B ' i WÊÊÊ I Odds in Favor for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" B Y LEXY PEREZ A & E ASSISTANT It's the time of the year, where moviegoers are once again enthralled in the world of Panem, a society where it's fun to kill young citizens but they trick us into thinking they are just fighting for food to alleviate their hunger. In case you were like me and failed to recall every detail of the lastfilmbefore taking your seat in the theater, only one detail is imperative to know. At the end of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," Katniss Everdeen's (Jennifer Lawrence) act of shattering the force field of the Hunger Games arena sparked an uproar in her society. Her act was perceived as rebellious, prompting citizens to finally stand against the control of President Snow (Donald Sutherland). After the last film, this third installment begins in a time period where Katniss' previous home, District 12, is now destroyed, though her family and handsome best friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) were able to escape. Katniss has now been prompted by District 13 President, Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) to be the poster child of the rebellion. The film centralizes on the onset of a Panem rebellion as Katniss transitions from being the winner of the Hunger Games to now being involved in the uprising revolution. Katniss has become a beacon of hope for everyone, all the while struggling with the aftermath of the hardships she endured in the games and worrying over Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), her partner that was captured by the Capital in the last film. While thisfilmlacks a great amount of action as shown in the previous installments, this film proves that Hollywood glitz and glam isn't everything to make a film what it is. Sometimes it is the raw emotion conveyed that can enrapture an audience. What I found interesting about this film was its' contradictory symbol of the term "hero." A "hero" can be assumed to be someone that is strong, empowered and a leader, but this film shows that sometimes that isn't always what consolidates one. The film shows Katniss consistently emotional, powerless and struggling with keeping herself composed from the turmoil and backlash of the government. While Katniss is considered their hero, in reality she is simply a symbol. It is the cit- izens themselves that are the real heroes to be freed from the government's control, something that fuels Katniss to be the hope that not only they need, but she does too. In true franchise fashion, the film also depicts an emerged love triangle, with Katniss juggling her feelings for Peeta and the affection and love from her loyal, best friend Gale. While it can be confusing whom her heart truly wants, after all this girl is enduring the same amount of emotions that we felt after watching Simba cry over his dying father, it can be assumed that we will soon see the love story evolve in the next installment. Although the film seems to embody a tense and serious tone, the humor and charm from Effie (Elizabeth Banks) and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), provide a dim light in the film's dark tunnel. Earning $123 million in its opening weekend, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" proves that "fangirl" mania has not subsided. It's clear that the odds are always in the favor of this franchise and for that I will always volunteer to be there front row when the next installment is released. �THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3 0 4 ,1 2 A &E Photo Submission A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com 11 NATIVE AMERICAN FESTIVAL Photos by: Anne Hall & Matthew Kuhlman Native American dance group performs in the courtyard in front of the CSUSM Student Union on November 4 in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. chool of New Year's Eve Party SsemesterArt celebrates e nd of w ith p erformances 2015 ipppgai Wednesday, December 31, 20 8:30 PM to 1:30 A • Live Bind: Dante's Fire flH • BalloonDrop • Party favors • Comp toast at midnight • Countdown at midnight • All you can eat pizza, salad, pasta & bread sticks *FOR A LIMITED TIME (CALL FOR MORE INFO)* • Ball Drop on NEW 80" TV • Kids tickets for only $20 (30 available) Limited seating available We will sell out Cougar Discounts FiisiBto tickets will be sold at 2 for$110 w ww .rossis-pizza.com RS VP @ ( 760) 7 27-4747 $ 75.00 p er p erson 156 S R ancho S anta F e R d, San M arcos, CA Photo by Chris Morales School of Art will feature piano performances from student musicians. BY BEULAH SUPRIYA STAFF WRITER As the semester comes to an end, the Tukwut voices and the University Vocal Ensemble are practicing for their final performance on the first of December. They are directed by Ron Jessee. A number of the students participating are Music or VPA majors, but everyone's talent and hard work is evident at their practice. The night's program consists of not only songs by the ensemble but piano solos as well. Both director Jessee and his accompanist Dr. Sydney Yin have instrumental pieces planned. Right from familiar songs with a new take on them to old renaissance era songs, all are covered. As tis the season to be jolly, the choir have made it a point to add a Christmas number as well. The innovativeness of the smaller group Tukwut Voices can be seen as they render "Adoramus te" as if in a Cathedral by using the ARTS 11 lobby room to open the performance. The concert is at 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 in Arts 111. The Javanese Gamelan ensemble is performing as well, which is directed by Mr. Randy Griswold. He has been teaching music here at CSUSM for the past 15 years. It is to be held at 7 p m. on Dec. 3 in Academic Hall ACD 102. At 7 p j n. on Dec. 4, we have the Tukwut Jazz Ensemble performing at Arts 111. This is directed by Dr. Mtafiti Imara, a Saxophonist and Composer, who teaches music at the college as well. With the first week of December lined up with such mesmerizing melodies, there could be no better way to usher in the holiday season. All performances are free to attend so go and support the School of Art. �f\ | A & E Editor: cougarchron.arts@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3 0 4 ,1 2 yiodiizi A A( C X viiuiogr^miy.j mimSMm^Bi PHI * gfr ftlili M f i f l y j t sj r I IMall ¡1111 V* I l l l i s O � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The survey results showed that students were indifferent, unfamiliar with or unhappy with the changes made due to the AESSF. When asked if they were familiar with what the AESSF was, 57 students answered yes, but only 24 of them knew what it was used for. 56 of the 113 students stated that they had never even heard the term before. When they were asked if they were in favor of the AESSF passbig, 11 students answered yes, 23 said no, 14 chose not to answer and 65 stated that they were indifferent. "The survey they provided online for our feedback did not allow you to say why you would not want the fee. It was skewed with only positives," one student wrote. "Students are already struggling to pay for school. Now the university came up with an attractive sounding 'politically correct' name for another cost to make people have a positive feeling about paying for school due to it being named the 'student success' fee," another student anonymously wrote. Out of the 33 students that knew changes had occurred on campus, only 14 knew what they were and had utilized them. Many of these students cited that the only thing they knew about the AESSF was that it extend- ed library hours, having learned this from the posters around campus advertising them. 80 participants stated that they were not aware that any changes had taken place. All of the students that chose to write positive responses cited the library hours as a beneficial change. "I like how the library is open later hours though. We. need to work towards 24/7 library hours," one student anonymously answered. "I think it is a positive change for students because it provides resources to be used for longer periods of time," another proponent answered. When asked if they felt that the AESSF passed without their input, 66 students answered yes, 10 said no and 37 stated that they were indifferent. Students were then asked if they had attended any of the forums about the AESSF last spring. 76 students said that they did not know about them, 11 participants attended at least one forum, 17 participants were freshmen this year and 9 knew about the forums b ut; were nof interested in attending. "Honestly, [the AESSF] is a good idea. But people are too broke to support it. Most students are tired of increasing fees and the university' should be sensitive to that," one student wrote. " I feel the library being opened longer is beneficial to a lot of students. Other things the AESSF has supposedly helped pay for are nice, but also another cost among a bunch of other financial obligations facing students in a tight economy," another student said. Based on the results of the survey, it is clear that an overwhelming amount of students are unaware of where their money is going. While 11 participants like the changes, 15 are against them and 18 students are indifferent. However, 69 students answered that they wanted to know more. While the AESSF has already passed, students are demanding more information about what it i s, where their money is going and more of a say in financial affairs in the future. D iversity a nd c reativity m ark t raditions CSUSM students celebrate the holidays in various ways B Y E LIZABETH C RUZ STAFF WRITER Being a diverse campus, our students celebrate an array of holidays. . A few students shared how they celebrate the holiday season. Their's are just a few stories in a variety of traditions. Festive rituals have evolved for this time of year over history, yet everyone's celebration practice is different. Creativity and community are the hallmark of the season, no matter what the practice. "My partner and I live across the country f rom our family, so we have made it a point not to follow the traditional norms any longer. On Christmas Eve we have dinner at a local Mexican taco shop and on Christmas day we surf early in the morning and then spend the day outside writing out our New Year's Resolutions. No presents either! Christmas is about spending time with others, not money," student Jessica Perry said. Another student, Alejandra Salome, goes out of the country to Mexico to visit family. "For the holidays all of our family meets up in Mexico at my grandma's house. We eat different types of Mexican dishes, we play and dance along to music and the children break pinatas pull of goodies instead of opening presents," Salome said. A student takes advantage of a small space by filling it with a mini Christmas tree by Sarah Hughes. It is always good to know in what ways other cultures experience these end of year celebrations, since they can differ very much from our own. Even among holidays, there is the holiday that is popularly perceived and the day as people actually spend it. Christmas especially, is divided between what it represents and how it's celebrated. For some it is the perceived meaning that they associate with it, while for others Santa and tinsel come to mind. Christmas is the most popular way to celebrate the holidays in our society. Many of us know that it is celebrated by remembering the Christian Nativity, which is the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus' birthday is celebrated on Dec. 2 5, despite the fact that his actual birthday is unknown. It is thought to have actually been some- time in the spring time, but this date was chosen in the third century in an attempt to Christianize end of the year pagan festivities that were already in place. According to the Bible, the nativity is set in Bethlehem in a manger where Jesus was born because his parents Mary and Joseph were unable to find other accommodations. Jesus is believed by Christians and Catholics t o have been the son of God, born in the flesh to give' his life for humanity. Christmas is also celebrated by mimicking Saint Nicholas of Myra who lived in fourth century Turkey. There are many different accounts of his generosity but as stated in stnicholascenter. org, one legend says St. Nicholas threw some gold out of his window on three different occasions down to three peasant sisters who were in danger of being sold into slavery. The gold landed in a stocking that was drying on a fireplace. People heard of St. Nicholas' generosity and children began leaving stockings by the fireplace in hopes that he would come by and give them gifts. He later received his own Christian holiday on Dec. 6, the anniversary of his death, where people gave gifts to one another in his remembrance.

People have been excited for its release since Sept. 2008, which was originally for Windows. The first stable release was in Dec. 2008. Chrome seems to be on a mission to provide a browser with speed, simplicity, security, privacy, customization and signing in, as their "Explore the Chrome Browser" portion of their product info states. They seem to have found a market for themselves, as Google has crossed over into the mobile devices arena, with both phones and browsers. With the advent of the smartphone, computer preferences seem to be less presumed or pronounced. New names besides Microsoft and Windows are popular in the vernacular. Perhaps Chrome will be for CSUSM students now. Google Chrome on the campus computers is featured on the desktop of the lilac's, by Sarah Hughes. "Chrome, is designed to keep you safer and more secure on the web with built-in malware and phishing protection, auto-updates to make sure you have all the latest security fixes, and more," Chrome's Browser Features list said. Mobile devices are still a growing place, technologically speaking. Many will report smartphones with hiccups and browser content problems ,*from a variety of characters. Most can remember a time when they tried to load a webpage on a supposed smartphone, only to have it fail or look unseemly. Many web pages were created long ago to work on non-mobile PCs. Chrome seems to be created to fill the space of a need for compliance in the realm of the mobile device. Whether it is an adequate solution, seems to be up to debate. With students expressing complaints about campus wifi, hopefully Chrome will serve as a sufficient browser for when they log in. Infosecurity Magazine (online) reported in July 2013 that "there is no single 'most secure' browser, reports comparing the major browsers' ability to catch phishing, prevent socially engineered malware and protect the us- ers' privacy show that no one browser stands above all others in protecting its users." They then cite "NSS tests" as showing no one browser as better in all categories tested. Infosecurity Magazine goes on to report the "NSS tests" as giving the following scores to browsers in "average phishing URL catch rate": Firefox version 19 - 96 percent, Safari - 95 percent, Chrome - 92 percent, Internet Explorer version 10 - 83 percent. Though the browsers are relatively close in security, this puts Firefox at the top of the list, Chrome in the middle and Internet Explorer at the bottom, Yet a Oct. 2013 Analyst Brief by Randy Abrams of NSS Labs, Inc. states that "Microsoft's Internet Explorer continues to provide the best combination of malware and phishing protection. The application reputation technologies used by browsers from both Microsoft and Google provide a significantly safer browsing experience than do browsers from Apple and Mozilla." Perhaps the problem is in the age of customization, many can't agree on what's most important to them in their browser and computer needs. Farmers Market's are well known for the produce, flowers, honey and unique products sold to consumers that often cannot easily be found elsewhere. CSUSM offered a Farmers Market on campus but what has,become of it? Flower bundles by Sarah Hughes. New Farmers Market ordinances mean change? How the new laws are a ffecting t he C SUSM tradition B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER & SARAH H UGHES STAFF W RITER & N EWS EDITOR New farmers' market ordinances have resulted in more worry than change-. The prospect of the new Urban Agriculture Ordinance had many people worried over what these changes would bring. Those who rely on farmers markets for the majority of their produce feared that these changes to the prdinance could result in large changes to the farmers markets themselves. When the changes were approved and enacted, however, it became apparent that these fears could be put to rest. With the most current update to the Urban Agriculture Ordinance, which was put into effect in March of last year, local farmers are now allowed to "keep chickens — but not roosters — two beehives and dehorned mini goats in their backyards as long as they're kept far enough away from neighboring structures," as summarized in an article on the topic from KPBS News. This has resulted in few changes, however, other than slightly increased business as a result of legally being able to raise chickens and goats. Though this change seems like a minor one to the markets themselves, it has improved upon the farmers' methods and made great strides for the local farming operations. ~ "Before the new changes in the ordinances, we had a lot of people that were interested in raising their own food, having their own chickens, bees, goats, [etc.]," the owner of City Farmers Nursery in San Diego [Farmer] Bill Tall said in an interview with KPBS News. "They would come in and get a few baby chicks that we sold in order to raise chickens in secret, but we didn't sell feed and feeders and all. Now people are able to do it legally, with certain parameters. Local farming has really grown." Both growing popularity of farmers markets and their role in providing fresh locally grown produce have made them a feature for the community. CSUSM's own market provides a place for people to relate to the university who might otherwise not. Students, staff and non-students are welcome. "The CSUSM Fanners Market, sponsored by the Farm Bureau of San Diego County, will feature approximately 25 vendors every week. Visitors,to the market will have the opportunity to select from a large variety of fresh, locally produced, healthful produce including San Diego grown fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey as well as enjoy demonstrations, music, artisanal breads and prepared foods, tastings and more," according to CSUSM's" website.

Kwanzaa is an AfricanAmerican holiday that is very new compared to other end of year celebrations. As stated on history.com, it was started in 1966 when AfricanAmericans were embracing their African roots and black pride, and wanted a holiday that celebrated their culture. Kwanzaa is derived from a Swahili word which means "first fruits." It is seven days of unity and perseverance of black culture and identity celebrated from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 that is now celebrated by millions worldwide despite its few decades of existence. Celebrations include everyone sipping from the unity cup which remembers B YJEFFMEINTS * African-American ancestors, lighting of the Kinara,which is a Candelabra with 7 candles that signify the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and dancing with African drums. Also known as the festival of lights, Hanukkah is eight days. Falling on the eve of the 25th of the Jewish month, of Kislev, Hanukkah is Nov. 27 to Dec. 5 this year. It represents purity and light crushing evil. Many centuries ago, after a battle with the Seleucids, a small Jewish resistance sought to light the Temple's Menorah and they found only enough oil to burn for one day, yet it miraculously lasted for eight days. Las Posadas is the Christmas equivalent in Mexico. The celebrations are 12 days long and are centered around the Christian and Catholic Nativity. According to mex- online.com, there is a procession of the virgin Mary on a donkey with baby Jesus, Joseph and a choir of children knocking on doors trying to find them a place to stay, to no avail. The parade ends at the church where mass is held. The holiday celebrations end on Jan. 6 with "Dia de los Magos" celebrating the three wise men who generously gifted baby Jesus on the night of his birth. The majority of gifts are opened on this last day. Other traditions include the eating of the Rosea, a round bread that contains a plastic baby figurine inside. The lucky finder of this plastic figurine is responsible for hosting the next Mexican holiday which falls on Feb. 2. On our diverse campus, the holidays are celebrated in these and many other ways.

For those of you who think that there is not eiiough time to exercise in the day, then this short-duration exercise may be the answer. HUT consists of 10-30 second repeated bouts of near maximal or supramaximal effort, separated with periods of recovery. There are a variety of ways to approach HHT with many different exercises, number of intervals and length of time. Surprisingly, improvements have been shown in as low as 3 repetitions of 20 seconds each, with a total workout session being only one minute.

Wrestling growing at CSUSM Students give process of starting new club B Y JENNIFER H AGER STAFF W RITER Finding the right club to join in college is already hard enough, but what if none of the clubs offer something you are interested in? You form one. After about a year of extremely hard work, the wrestling club made their debut this semester. Their hard work and determination is what is going to make their club last. For the first year of their existence, the wrestling club will not be competing. However, they will be practicing hard and trying to boost membership. President Jordan Riding says their plan for the year is to "prove we can sustain ourselves and get more members." The club practices at least twice a week in the Clarke Fieldhouse using the mats provided, with plans to buy their own eventually. Club fees are just $50 per semester, so with 10 members, Riding said they would be able to do just that. They also plan on competing in individual matches during the spring semester. With no official coach, they act as each other's personal trainers. The goal of the wrestling club is to be competing as a team by Fall 2014 with at least ten strong wrestlers. The team is willing to teach anyone who is willing to learn. The club's treasurer was the only female wrestler at her high school, and she is definitely looking for girls that are interested in learning more about the sport. The team knows that having a successful club is an uphill battle, but they seem ready for the challenge For more information about the team, contact Club President Jordan Riding at ridin002@ cougars .csusm.edu. The campus has enough stairs to take anyones breath away. Doing cardio on campus is another good way to break a sweat. Photo by Anne Hall. and alter muscle metabolism by increasing fat use as fuel. An improvement in V02max (maximal oxygen uptake) is another benefit from HUT. According to CSUSM Kinesiology professor Dr. Astorino, this indicates an integration of cardiorespiratory and muscle function to deliver and use oxygen during exercise. It is considered to be one of the most important indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness. Basically the higher your V02max is , the less of a risk you have for premature death and disease. This form of exercise might just be what you are looking for during the holidays. When you are eating those holiday cookies you can feel a little less guilty now with these quick workouts.

Surfing helps to rejuvenate the body and clear the mind. San Diego has such a strong surf community for more reasons than one. Image provided by Kelym Magallanes. The many health benefits of surfing B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES STAFF W RITER Surfing is a popular sport in California, and many don't realize that it can also be used as a way to enjpy nature, relax and release tension in the body. Some of the health benefits of surfing include cardiovascular fitness and strengthening of the body's muscles. All of this is acquired through paddling in the water and balancing on your feet once you've caught a wave. Not only does it affect your fitness level, but according to multiple health articles, the exercise an individual gets while surfing allows the body to release endorphins and helps them become tension free and relaxed. "Surfing is my only source for stress relief. At time's, I may be the only person in the water, and my only focus is riding the wave. Riding a great wave leaves me in a positive upbeat mood," CSUSM student, Adrian Frick, said. Some of the most common beaches for suring in San Diego County include Oceanside Beach Pier, Carlsbad, Moonlight Beach, etc. In the ocean, students are given the oppprtunity to unwind from the stress that comes with being in college, and possibly catch a thrill from that wave they were longing for. �Sports Editor: Justin D onner cougarchron.sports@gmail.com T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, D EG 4 , 2 0 I 3 S PORTS Nothing like sunny San Marcos Cougars battle brutal c onditions at nationals B Y C ORRINA B ABIASH-CLARK STAFF W RITER The CSUSM men's and women's cross country teams managed impressive team finishes of 13th and 8th place, respectively, at the NAIA National Championships held in Kansas on Nov. 23. With temperatures in the mid 20s, dropping to midteens with the wind chill, the CSUSM men's and women's cross country teams faced a tough challenge mentally and physically. "You just can't train for extreme cold when it is 70 degrees," cross cojuntry coach, Steven Scott, said. "Under the horrible conditions, I felt both teams did real well." Western Nelson's fourth Ail-American Award at last weekend's NAIA cross country national championships makes him the only athlete in CSUSM's history to have been honored as an All-American in all four seasons of a sport. "Before the race started it wasn't f un being there in the cold weather. During the race, it was all I could think about. But thankfully it was cold enough that I wasn't able to feel any of my body parts which made it much easier for me to ignore ail the pain in my legs," Nelson said. For other CSUSM runners, the experience was bittersweet. Despite impressive performances in less than desirable conditions, Steven Ing, Heidi Swanson and Kate Bouvatte fell just shy of the coveted All-American Award. With this season coming to a close, CSUSM cross country is looking toward the f uture with high hopes as many of their top runners will be returning next year.

It was a fun run for a good cause, and CSUSM was represented by a very familiar face.. The Cougar's head cross country and track coach, Steve Scott, competed in the race. This member of the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame has run more sub-four minute miles than any- one else in history, the number being 136 to be exact. He also set a record that stood firm for 25 years with a mile time of 3:47.69. Scottfinishedthefivemile run this weekend with an impressive time of 20:25 at a 6:33 pace per mile. This was good enough to give him a 134 overallfinishout of a massive amount of participants. Looks like he can still do more than just coach winning teams. The Turkey Trot allows for its contestants to designate a portion of their entry fees to go towards supporting local nonprofits or schools. A popular non-profit attracting more than 500 entrants was the Austin Bice Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation, which promotes physical activity among youth, is directly supported by the race as well. With a record crowd for the Turkey Trot this year, a considerable amount of funds should go towards helping great causes. Get Out! Vivid vistas and heart-rate raising hikes B y A LISON SEAGLE COLUMNIST Torrey Pines State Reserve offers many activities for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. There are a number of hiking trails available to explore that vary in length. They are not too challenging, so they are enjoyable to people of most ability levels. It is possible to drive into the reserve, but fees are applicable. There are also parking fees to park right near the entrance, but free parking on the street can be found if someone does not mind some extra walking. From the main entrance, there is a steady incline up a hill into the reserve. Not only is the climb a great way to get the heart pumping faster, it also happens to be a trip through geological history where hikers can witness the four different types of rock formations that exist in the park. No food or drinks are permitted in the reserve, but water is certainly recommended. Comfy sneakers or even hiking shoes would definitely be preferred f or anyone hoping to tackle these trails. There are benches throughout the trail systems to stop and take breaks. Restrooms are located in the reserve, but they are limited, so it is a good idea to grab a map and get oriented before beginning an adventure. From the lagoon to the beach and the cliffs in between, there is quite a range of natural habitats full of a variety of plants and animals f or hikers to enjoy.

Located only 2 minutes away from La Jolla Cove beach, Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ is lip smacking' good. It's a great alternative to our well known neighbor Mr. Phil, the owner of San Marcos' Mr. Phil's BBQ joint on Grand Avenue. As my friend and I arrived at Bubba's, we were welcomely greeted by the owners and then we sat ourselves comfortably. I had ordered a half rack of baby back ribs while my friend ordered the slider trio, a combination of three sandwiches: pulled pork, chopped beef brisket and pulled chicken. As I bite into my warm, tender rib, it's juicy, sharp sauce complements the wellseasoned ribs by not overpowering its natural smoked flavor.Though the sauce at Bubba's can be comparable to Phil's, they still highly differ from each other in an extremely good way. For instance, I find Phil's sauce a bit too tangy and Bubba Smokehouse is located on Prospect Street, in La Jolla. Photo of main entrance provided by Lissette Nunez. overpowering for my taste. The lack of choice in sauces at Phil's does disappoint, but Bubba's has variety. Bubba's features three favorable choices of sauce such as, Bubba's lip-smackin' sweet BBQ sauce or Bubba's Kickin' BBQ Sauce and Bubba's Secret Dry Rub. I had tried the kickin' sauce that brought a distinctive spice and just the right tang. Phil's sauce suppresses the meat's natural flavor and gradually starts to build a harsh tangy taste. Moreover, the slider trio was mouth-watering good! The only discouraging thing about the platter was the amount of meat arid sauce and how it regrettably spoiled the taste of the sandwich, transforming it into a spongy mess. Perhaps ordering the sauce on the side would be the best solution so that the bread doesn't form into a huge absorbent sponge. Lastly, their side section was commendable, serving a well-sized portion of crispy fries with a flattering hint of salt. The creamy, skinned potato red salad had a nice body to it, but was maybe a bit overly seasoned with salt. Bubba's prices are just a bonus. The price is affordable, usually around $15 and their portions always excel their price range by serving generous amounts of food. Overall, my friend and I were pleased with our visit to Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ. Without a doubt, we would recommend it to anyone who needs a break from Phil's or is just interested in trying a new bbq place around our area. Bubba's Smokehouse BBQ is located at 888 Prospect St., La Jolla, CA 92037. 5 Spencer Joseph is a dynamic force that has brought a mentality of inclusivity and community outreach to the Greek Leadership Council this year. As GLC President, Joseph represents "the members of the nine fraternities and sororities on campus, as well as the two Greek honor societies. He handles any issues or questions that arise within the community and acts as the voice v of the students with the administration. Joseph happened into the position when the spot opened up unexpectedly. He applied with the intention of making his name more recognizable and intended to reapply a year or two later when he was more known in the Greek community. Joseph was taken by surprise when he received a phone call twenty minutes after he left the interview and was offered the job. Since then, the 19-year-old business major has taken on the task of managing and overseeing the Greek community's approximately more than 700 members. However, Joseph does not solely focus on bringing the, various fraternities and sororities together. He also reaches out to students and orgs, across campus to create ties between them and the Greek community. One of the ways that he accomplishes this is by joining together his roles as GLC President and Resident Adviser at The Quad. Joseph has a set quota of events that he has to create for his 'residents' in the dorms, so often times he coordinates them to intersect with Greek. He believes that by getting groups to work together, everything on campus will operate in a more inclusive manner. Joseph keeps his commitments to GLC and his fraternity SAE close to his heart, firmly believing that this path will expose him to a multitude of new opportunities. " I'm the 307,294th member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It's not necessarily a number to me, but something that supports my decision," Joseph said. "It represents all the hard work I had to do to get to college and the hard work that I will do when I get out." Joseph manages to bring together the multiple dimensions of his college career while maintaining a full course load, a skill that he attributes to being organized and qualities that he has learned from being a member of a fraternity. "It's been a way to find friends, but they're not just my brothers because of a title. Truly each and every one of them is my family," Joseph said. "The reason for my success is because going Greek helps foster growth within a person. It really has opened my eyes to what I can accomplish in the business world." Joseph's dedication to GLC and the Greek community has only continued to fuel the tremendous success that fraternities and sororities have enjoyed at CSUSM.

The use of this equipment is what aids students in conducting research outside the classroom. "This is an incredible opportunity for CSUSM students. When I have talked to other universities, I have found that normally only graduate students would have access to these materials," Edmunds said; But the enormous impact of the club is not confined to research projects that stay on campus. Edmunds and other students have gone to conferences at other universities to present their projects and spread the knowledge they have amassed. They also work with Donate Don't Dump, where Kinesiology Club students distribute food to those in the area that suffer from food insecurity. The club successfully completed six food distributions in the last semester, and have helped pass out over 36,000 pounds of food last year. The club welcomes any Pre-Kinesiology or Kinesiology students that are interested in meeting and working with students at all stages of their academic career. "We have students that are going into pre-physical therapy, applied exercise science, health science, physical education. We have a very healthy diversity and CSUSM opens up so many doors for students," Edmunds said.

STAFF W RITER STAFF W RITER o rg/library/ concerns of those who are homeless through placing assumptions and judgments upon this mostly ignored group of people. I have found that homelessness discriminates against no one, but so many people discriminate against the homeless. Most of the time they do not even realize that they are doing it. Ill the past I took no notice of things such as "No Loitering" signs, locks on bathroom doors in fast food restaurants or city ordinances of not being allowed to sleep in your car. Now when I encounter them, I have come to realize that those restrictions are mostly directed at the homeless population. In the middle of the night when that urgency to go the bathroom arises, you have to start up your car to burn gas to simply find an open establishment that has accessible bathrooms. The places with locks on the bathrooms doors require that every single time you need to go to the bathroom you now must ask, "Can I please use the bathroom?" Also, dismiss the thought of going to the bathroom outside in the bushes somewhere because if caught you would be added to the sex offender list. Never in the past would I have considered the plight of the homeless, where you're forced to spend money every day on fast food and on very unhealthy food at that. There has been many a night where I literally cried into my McChickeri because it was the only thing I was able to afford and to consume for weeks on end. However, I remind myself everyday that other people have it far worse off than I do. This provides brief flares of passion to want to survive this to ensure all people can attain food and shelter in all of the United States. A year ago, I met a woman that, when I mentioned being homeless and then heard that I Jive in my car, she responded, "Well you aren't homeless then." There is e ntry/state- HOMELESSNESS in of-home- America lessnessin-america-2011 definite truth in that I have a car so I would have more shelter than another homeless man who is living out of a cardboard box. However, would you want either of those living situations placed upon yourself, your friends or loved ones? I have had issues with my car battery dying after a night of charging my phone or leaving the ' heater on because it is so cold outside only to then wake up and find my car dead. By far the worst thing I've encountered because of being homeless is the effects it has with relation to family and friends. Whether it is my parents ignoring my calls to friends and coworkers displaying the same lack of concern, in the end all is the same result: solitude and isolation. The mental, physical and even spiritual decimation of an individual occurs through this solitude and isolation. If this individual is unplugged from social environments and the simple interaction of other human beings for too long, that individual has the very real risk of disappearing into themselves and into the dark and ignored pockets of society. When society has given up and written you off for so long, it is only a matter of time before you give up and write off yourself. I have chosen to be homeless t hough thé act of giving my ex-wife the salon I built for her and taking almost nothing for myself so she could be well off. Oddly I have no regrets. But last night while I curled up for sleep and as I pondered over my story, the story I now write, I was reminded once again and overwhelmed with an emotion I have felt every night, which is fear. There is the fear of getting my car impounded for sleeping in it, or fear from assault and robbery due to the isolated and vulnerable posi- tion I place myself in each time I park on a dark and foggy street. There is fear of sweltering summer nights, frigid winter dawns and overwhelming downpours of rain. There is the very powerful fear of dying in the back of my car all alone, and I not being found for days or weeks on end. Each little noise slaps you awake from sleep to ensure no defensive actions are required. This has been by far the most present and prevalent emotion that I carry with me every day. The silver lining in all of this is I have found a certain and once seemingly rare characteristic in people which I now consider "true humanity." These are the people who learn about my living situation who continue to make eye contact with me, call me on the phone to simply ask how my day went, do random kind deeds such as bringing me food at school or invite me to their social gatherings and those who display compassion and understanding. I have found that openness and honesty, while sometimes briefly being detrimental, in the long run creates new friends, family and alliances stronger than any I have known in my whole life. The best advice I can provide to others that might find themselves in my situation is to first and foremost, curb your pride. If someone you care about offers you food, a place to stay or simply wants to chat with you, I recommend accepting the offer and opening up to them. Take the food, display the gratitude required and be glad there are still those who care. It is time we started shining the light into the darkest corners of society because there are so many that are lost and can easily be found and guided back into the light with compassion, patience" and understanding. CSUSM students use their computers to work on assignments in the little down time that they have between classes but the campus wifi is too spotty to be effective. The school wifi only works perfectly in a few locations. This wastes the little time students have to spare and by the time they pull u p the page they need, it's time to head to class. If a student needs access to a webpage for the in-class assignments for the day, it takes most, of the class for the webpage to load and makes it harder for that student to complete assignments. If a student's only time to complete homework assignments is between classes on campus, they have to navigate through the difficult wifi in order to access what they need to get done. The wifi at the school should be improved in order Katlin Sweeney D ESIGN E DITOR ^ n n e | _| a || N E W S E DITOR ...A ft 5 EPIT9R Faith Orcino Anne H all Bianca S arabia Chelsea Nicole Brown Lauren Hammond D I S T R I B U T I O N M ANAGER S arah Hughes S TAFF Raychel Allen Chelsey Schweitzer S P O R T S E DITOR Justin Donner S ALES R EP Z ach Schanzenbach Pam Kragen Elizabeth C ruz CARTOONISTS Alison Seagle Faith Orcino Jeff Meints A CADEMIC A DVISOR C orrina Babiash-Clark O PINION E DITOR Lauren Hammond F EATURES E DITOR Rica Palmerin Pam Kragen !

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the governmental agency responsible for providing travelers with the most effective form of protection. The agency was deployed in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, serving to better the quality of safety and travel throughout the US. The TSA currently holds authority to search and seize anyone as they see fit. Under administrative law, these programs are allowed to completely d isrcg^ the terms of "probable cause." Officers of the Behavioral Detection Program, a subdivision of TSA, look for "clusters of behaviors indicative of stress, fear or deception." Anyone who is presumed to be showing such symptoms may be unjustly removed, analyzed and interrogated. This backwards view of condemning citizens as guilty until proven innocent under inspection T S A s ecurity i nspecting v ehicles a long t he b order p atrols, i m a g e f ound o nline f rom h ttp://therealnewsjournal c o m / ? p = 9 0 2 4 . continues today, despite the fact that even after 10 years of implementation the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has deemed the program unreliable. Airports currently require full-body scans of travelers. Some of the equipment that is used, referred to as bagkscatter x-ray technology, emanates small doses of radiation that can be harmful for some travelers. The main health concern for travelers passing through the x-ray technology is the development of skin cancer. Passengers that are the most susceptible to ionizing exposure risks are those who frequently fly, such as pilots and children, who tend to be more sensitive to radiation. However, these scans not C ONTACTS PHOTOGRAPHERS C OPY E DITOR *| TSA regulations unconstitutional C OUGAR C HRONICLE S TAFF E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Not connected only expose the detection of weaponry. The full body images produced by the backscatter x-ray examination also expose the naked outline of travelers. This virtual stripping is demoralizing for many passengers but opting out to these scans may lead to further humiliation. If a traveler reserves their right to refuse the invasive scan, they are then forced to undergo physical searches that may include inappropriate touching.

GMOs are not placed inside the foods that we eat. It is put in the seeds that are used to make all the foods that we eat. Many GMOs also contain something called glyphosate, which is a weed killer that can be extremely damaging to humans. It poisons our healthy bacteria, and goes into our bloodstream causing neurological damage. GMOs also contain promoters with proteins that wake up genes and bacterias in our bodies that do not need to be woken up.

Spread the word and put forth the effort to educate yourself and others on this important issue. Start to become more aware of the foods that you eat and pay attention to labels.

But try going to a joint that is known for using real foods, such as In n ' Out and Chipotle. Going organic is the best solution and making small steps everyday will help us all get to where we need to be. Group projects are controversial class dynamic BY R ICO PALMERIN FEATURES EDITOR . Following an announcement of a group project, many students moan and groan because of bad experiences. Lack of partner participation results in a lower grade for the group, not just the individual. Other students are very independent and enjoy relying solely on their own abilities to earn their grade. With s a much antagonism toward group projects, why do teachers continue to assign them? Do they just not care what students think? Or do they see group projects in a different light? * Professor Doller uses group projects as a large portion of the grade for her FMST 300: "In general, I find students a re at first quite anxious and w orried when they learn that there will be required group projects. Students a re understandably concerned that their grades wifl depend on someone else's performance/7 - Sandra Doller Elements of Cinema course. "I believe group work challenges students in some very productive - ways, inviting them to think beyond their own perspectives, to share ideas, to be inspired by each other's creativity, and to form bonds with other students," Assistant Professor of Literature & Writing Studies, Sandra Doller, said. Perhaps nothing in our courses gives us a taste of the real world as much as group projects do. They force us into uncomfortable situations, with people we don't know very well, and demand that we work together productively. Any students who have had a job, volunteered at an organization or even joined £ club can see the parallels here. This is why group projects, for as much as they hurt, help us even more. They pull us away from our academically reinforced sense of self-dependence and help to prepare us for reality outside of school. As Doller points out, "Group projects build a sense of camaraderie and community, which I think is one of the most important things in keeping students engaged in their own learning." Group projects aren't the flu, but the bitter medicine we need. So next time a group project comes up, instead of responding with the negative, habitual groan, students should make a conscious effort to have a good experience and invest t hemselves in the assignment, and others, will follow hopefully follow their lead.

This should not be the case as music is a popular outlet for the stressed student. In addition, venues that are 21 and over make it difficult for students that have friends over and under 21 to find things to do together. The majority of comedy clubs are also 21 and over venues. Students are unable to see an outlet where they can laugh after a stressful day. These venues are usually designated as 21 and over due to the fact that alcohol is served on the premises or because the show is being held within a casino.

Horror fans everywhere will appreciate a chilling novel that keeps you biting your lip and fearful of shadows on the wall for days on end. Well, this book isn't quite like that. David Wong delivers a never-ending stream of laughs in his debut novel John Dies at the End. Successfully blending the genres of horror and comedy, Wong's novel promises nothing but the most insane spiral into crazy you may ever read, in this life and the next. The plot revolves around two college dropouts, Dave and John, who gain the ability to see all manner of supernatural creatures after a party one fateful night. Amidst flying mustaches and girls bursting into snakes, Dave and John have no idea what they're doing and their decision-making skills leave much to be desired. But c aa they save the day from the most powerful entity of evil in the universe? B Y L ISSETTE N UNEZ STAFF W RITER All signs point to no. Dave's deadpan narration and John's Don Quixoteesque persona are a hilarious contrast and tremendous fun to read. Although the action packed plot proves confusing at times, once you pick up John Dies at the End you'll be laughing too much to con- sider putting it down. The author is currently the executive editor of the humor site Cracked.com and last year published the sequel to John Dies at the End, which is entitled This Book is Full of Spiders (Seriously Don't Touch It). As we almost approach winter break, I would like to recommend the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego, a museum known to have various types of eye catching artwork. One which stood out more than the others was Atrophied Landscape, an art piece made by Travis Somerville. The painting detailed a lone house that is perched on top of Martin Luther King's head and a collage of luxury ads from 1960's magazines surrounded it. Moreover, the medium Somerville used in his artwork was oil on a canvas, which he completed in 2009. Travis Somerville grew up in towns throughout the southern United States. Being born and raised in the South influenced Somerville to explore the history of race and racism through his art. Most of his large-scale oil paintings incorporated a collage of which illustrated political icons associated with their notorious cultural Photo courtesy of mcasd.org. setting such as the piece mentioned above. His sculptures and installations also reflected on the complexities of racism that enlightened a point of how departed society is from discussing U.S. oppressions and colonial attitudes. His education sprouted through the works of Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, where he studied and attended San Francisco Art Institute after getting situated in San Francisco. Today, Somerville's work has been included in numerous museum exhibitions. One in particular enlightens the view on human rights, which is "The State of Human Rights." It is an international exhibition consisting of 70 contemporary artists who devote their styles of art to human rights. Overall, this would be a great place to see as a family. It opens a sense of unusual thoughts that are not usually triggered during the realm of being part of society caused by of all its distractions such as the media, politics, religion and propaganda. That being said, let us enjoy a true sense of freedom for once under the open-minded views brought by contemporary art and its attempts of expanding thoughts far beyond one's imagination. The museum is in Downtown San Diego at the Jacobs Building at 1100 Kettner. It is open from 11 a m. to 5 p m. every day except Wednesdays. Movie review Thor 2: The Dank World Cougar Shuffle - Winter jams B Y Z ACH SCHANZENBACH By Amanda Lenox STAFF WRITER There are hundreds of superheroes nowadays, but how many of them are gods? At least one, that's for sure. When Marvel's demigod from Asgard made his bigscreen debut in 2011, Thor's film didn't have quite as big an impact as Iron Man or Captain America. But it's still a good watch. Thor returned a year later alongside our aforementioned heroes and others to stop his brother Loki's evil plans in The Avengers. Now after another year, Thor is back for more. Thor: The Dark World engrosses its audience more than its 2011 predecessor. While Thor placed more focus on the Asgardian's character development than on super awesome action scenes those superhero movies are known for, The Dark World involves a lot more action than anything. So what is our demigod hero (Chris Hemsworth) up against this time? An evil elf named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) wants to destroy the universe with a destructive weapon known as the Aether (must be a South Pole e lf...). With a crazy dimensional fissure of sorts coming to Earth, the destructive liquid finds a way to seep into the bloodstream of Jane Foster (Natalie Port- It ' s the holiday season once again!

If you prefer thè classics ; man), Thor's human love interest from Earth. For about the first 50 minutes, nothing goes right for our hero and he is finally driven to such desperation that he actually busts his brother out of prison. This is where the film gets much more4nteresting, starting off with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) making some rather hilarious comments that make Jane's comic-relief intern look rather bland. As for the crazy dimensional fissure that comes to Earth at the climax of the movie, well, let's just say that gravity is defied and a portal of sorts is created. When I say portal, don't be thinking of Loki's portal at the climax of Avengers. This one is much more chaotic. The story as a whole is well-done, although it leaves a little ambiguity about what's become of Thor's father Odin (Anthony Hopkins). Hemsworth and Hiddleston do a fine job creating tension between the two brothers, and ultimately the viewer's expectations are turned completely upside down. When all is said and done, if you thought Thor was somewhat slow compared to other Marvel productions, then you'll have no problem with The Dark World. It's a worthy watch. PS: Marvel fans may want to stick around after the credits start to roll; there's a little hint scene after the first quarter of the credits. But then what were you expecting? As for what's after all the credits? Well, it's not much...just an epilogue, really.

According to rookiemag. com, "The mall is a very scary place during the holidays" and I agree, especially for a college student on a budget. "But never fear, there is an alternative to this nightmare: the thrift store. If you know how to maneuver one, you can find thoughtful, creative gifts that won't empty your wallet or contribute to the consumerist hype of the holiday season."

According to rookiemag. com, "Shopping at a thrift store isn't easy like going to a department store—it's work. That's what I like about it. I like the digging. I like leaving with something special that was really cheap and looks awesome, then having someone freak out on me, going, 'OH MY GOD I LOVE your shirt, WHERE did you get it???' and casually tossing out, 'Thrift store,' and have them frown and go, ' Oh.'"

Everything was 50% off! And I was cruising down the men's aisle and I happened to stumble across a velvet blazer. I tried it on and itfitperfectly. Compared to department store prices, that blazer would have been priced around hundreds of dollars and I got it for less than ten bucks. I also got a black tee shirt with a cat on it for a (dollar. I also got a cute little nick-knack for less than fifty cents. It was a wooden cat and it looked like something you would get at4 Urban Outfitters for like thirty dollars. Overall my thrifting experience was a successful one and I suggest that my readers take advantage of the wonderful worlcf of the thrift store. I am from Chula Vista, way down south from San Marcos. Whenever I go back home to San Diego, I try to go thrifting. I usually go to Broadway and the whole street is filled with thrift stores. I budget my spending to about $20, and I usually come home with a trash bag filled to the rim with my purchases. Moving to San Marcos, I want to look for moire thrift stores, and I know that there are plenty of them close by. i want to go to Oceanside and go thrifting. I believe thrift stores are great places for students who are on a budget especially during the holiday season. Thrift stores are everywhere. No matter wherever you live, they are bound to be around somewhere.

The Quad, the new student dormitory building which is across the street from the main campus and located on Barham Drive, is the first phase of what will come to be known as the North City development, a part of the new San Marcos University District. On Nov. 28 the city of San Marcos accepted a $1 million grant from California Natural Resources Agency to help construct part of this district. This grant goes toward restoration of habitat and construction of a multipurpose trail alongside San Marcos creek. Part of the construction will include 308 new 'beds' opening at The Quad, which will open for fall of next year. Priority applications will be accepted until March of 2013 and are reviewed upon a first come, first serve basis .

Previously, students resulted to parking in the lots of Palmoar Pomerado Health center to avoid paying for passes, however PPH began enforcing their parking regulations this semester and towing unauthorized vehicles, pushing the students back to parking lots on campus.

North City is currently being zoned for mixed use, which means that there will b e both residential and commercial properties, with student housing as a large and important part of the area. North City will be geared to the student population as a "Live, work, play hub with restaurants and retail that are student-serving in nature," Communications Officer with the City of San Marcos, Jenny Windie said. OINTHE The city plans show that The Quad is slated to be on the corner of Campus Way and North City Drive. This means that Barham Drive, which is where The Quad is currently located, will have a name-change as part of the development. In preparation, students should become familiar with all routes to campus, to avoid future confusion and construction. The University District is a part of the city's efforts to create a popular and thriving central downtown region. The area will eventually OUGAR V i/ w merge with and be touching the Creek District, an effort to preserve and appreciate the natural environment of San Marcos.

THE HEART SENIOR STAFF W RITE R If you are an avid beachgoer, it is inevitable that you are going to contract some sort of illness due to environmental and human contamination. World beaches and oceans certainly aren't the cleanest playgrounds on Earth and they expose you to many viruses, parasites, and bacteria. In addition, ocean water becomes contaminated with sewage storm run-off and oil, making you more susceptible to getting sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, microorganisms can enter through the oral route (ingestion), through the eyes, ears and nose, or through an open wound. Common moreserious illnesses you are at risk for include hepatitis A and MRS A, giardia, leptospirosis and many others. According to Surfers Against Sewage, surfers are three times more likely to contract hepatitis A than the general public. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis A virus and can be transmitted through exposure to contaminated water as well as many other routes. M ethicillin-resistan t Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is caused by an infection most often resistant to antibiotics—a huge problem for ocean enthusiasts, especially surfers. Individuals who engage in ocean sports are more susceptible to getting MRSA from the ocean due to entering the ocean with open wounds. MRSA has been cultured near shores and in storm and sewer waters, imposing a huge risk of entering the ocean after a heavy rainfall. Parasites and bacteria cause other illnesses like giardia and leptospirosis, respectively. It is especially common in places without proper sanitation to come into contact with B Y KATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR bacteria and parasites, which will cause serious and uncomfortable complications. Everyone is susceptible to these infections after entering the ocean; however, it is important that you take necessary preventive measures. These include good hand washing and hygiene practices, and ensuring that you don't enter the ocean until 48 to 72 hours after a heavy rainfall. Understanding that the ocean contains contaminants detrimental to your health and taking necessary precautions will ultimately increase your time to use it as your playground.

"We were disappointed last year with the early loss. We want to at least make thè nationals this year. We are deeper in pitching and should make up for not being as deep in offense," Coach Pugh said on this year's expec- tations. The Cougars are returning this season with last year's A.I.I. conference pitcher of the year and NAIA Ail-American selection, James Dykstra, who Coach Pugh said they are very fortunate to have back this season. Dykstra pitched lights out last season, and will carry the CSUSM pitching staff that the team will rely on this year. The team also returns with center fielder Kyle Secciani and third baseman Kyle Belzer, a first team conference selection last season. Coach Pugh comes into this season with a bevy of new transfers ready to make an impact on the Cougar squad. "It was a great recruiting season. With the transfers and recruits, we are a better team this year,"Pugl^said. The Cougars start the season with a tough test on Feb. 1 against conference foe and highly talented Concordia, which Coach Pugh said is a good way to start the season off and get into it with a tough matchup like this one, and is a must-watch game for all. With the team's deep pitching staff, and once they get going offensively, the Cougars should be a force to be reckoned with in the conference and beyond. �Features Editor : Kadin Sweeney cougarchron.features@gmail.com C SUS M takes U CS D by storm in D J competition B Y J ESSI E G A M B R E L L C O - A & E EDITOR CSUSM took its top DJ artists to compete against UCSD in the Red Bull DJ Master competition held on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at Pacific Beach Bar & Grill.

B Y KATLIN SWEENEY Avoiding finals stress Ways t o keep from getting overwhelmed B Y KATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR Make sure your study habits are not only effective, but perfect for you. As exam week is approaching, students are beginning to stress out over essays and finals preparation. Here are some ways that you can avoid becoming overwhelmed: 1. Maintain Organization & Goal Lists Before you even begin to study for finals, mark a calendar with all of your finals dates, important due dates and anything you may forget. Prepare a study schedule with individual gods for every day you plan to prepare, that way you do not become too overwhelmed and know what you can accomplish each day before drifting off to sleep. 2. Eat Healthy When studying for exams, healthy eating is a must. While the ice cream and Bagel Bites look appetizing, your mind works much better when you are eating food that helps you think instead of making you tired. Try snack food alternatives like grapes, yogurt, carrots or salads. Almonds, peanuts, walnuts and cashews especially are known for being good sources of energy. Trading in the M&Ms and candy bars for healthy alternatives might sound like a hassle, but by the time your exams come up, you will be feeling much more awake and alert. 3. Get Hydrated Although it can be tempting with a Starbucks on campus, try to avoid the sugary frappachino and coffee runs.

Old years resolutions How reflecting on the past resolutions can influence 2013's BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR The 2013 year is just over the horizon and it's almost time to have a new set of goals to complete. But before you make those new resolutions, it may be a good idea to evaluate the resolutions you made last year. New Years is a time of looking forward and taking any mistakes you've made in the past and finally applying the lessons learned. However, in order to complete this endeavor, you would need to keep in mind your performance from the last year. Ask yourself; do you remember your resolutions from January, 2012? And if you do, how long did you keep those? Did you stay true to them, or did you decide they were impossible? And most importantly, were they realistic enough that you could stay to it? Second year student Maribel Olea contemplated these questions deeply. She recalled making wishes for the ending year, which did eventually come true. "Well, I remembered that I wished to be more open and meet more people, [and] to be closer to people. It forced me to get out my comfort zone. It took a long time, but each time I tried, things got better " Olea said. Effort was an important part on the completion of Olea's goals. She made her goals something that were both realistic and attainable, which made them much more likely to come to pass. Second year student Karen Guzman remembers her New Years resolution clearly. She made her goal wide enough in terms of time so that she could give herself the time and focus to achieve it, but made it specific and important enough so that she could not lose sight on it. An important thing to note when making your resolutions f o r the New Year is to make certain that they are attainable. Don't over-think a goal, because the likelihood of it coming to pass will dim as time goes on. It'll require too much effort. Make it simple, make it sweet. Let yourself want it enough to work for it, but make it sweet enough so that you won't lose interest. And most of all, make it something worthwhile. The more value you place on it, the more likely you'll want it and regret it if you don't try for it.

On Dec. 6, students will be visited by the members of Love on a Leash: Foundation For Pet-Provided Therapy. There will be a dozen certified therapy dogs of all sizes from the foundation on campus. These animal 'therapists' are specialized in helping students get their minds stress-free to relax for a few hours. CSUSM is one of many college campuses that are using animals to help students cope with the pressure to do well on exams. "Many campuses in San Diego, including SDSU, and around the country have similar events. Yale Law School library even provides a dog-lending program!" Outreach Librarian Melanie Chu said. For the fourth consecutive semester, Kellogg Library is bringing these therapy dogs on campus to give students a study break. CSUSM considers helping their students succeed while making sure they do not become overwhelmed is one of their top priorities when it comes to exam time. "Numerous research studies have shown that the simple act of petting a dog releases the 'feel good' hormone, oxytocin, and lowers blood pressure. Therapy dogs work with nursing homes, hospitals, veterans, public libraries—so we* wanted to bring them to CSUSM too!" Chu said. Make sure to take the necessary study breaks to keep yourself refreshed and focused for your upcoming finals. Pause For Paws will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday Dec. 6 at the third floor main entrance to Kellogg Library near Starbucks.

For some, this is the last step in their undergraduate career. Provided I have no unexpected surprises in the next few weeks, I will be joining the ranks of the CSUSM alumni. I used to say that I would graduate; god-willing and time-permitting. Finally, the moment has materialized. I have one more paper to turn in and two finals to take. It may seem like a light load but getting to this point has been both difficult and rewarding. Classes are enough of a load. For those of you know, I am also a single mother. I started going to college in 2004. Eight years later, I get to complete my goal. Hopefully, my story is not a bore. I intend to relay a few facts of life that got me to where I am today. I have been working since I was 16 years old. By 2006, I was making $18 an hour, more than double the current minimum wage. At that time, I took my savings and began a study abroad experience. In 2008,1 could barely find work at $10 per hour for positions that either had the same or more responsibilities. Furthermore, schools were impacted and I had to re-apply for admission. T h e h ear t of Christma s B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL Co-A&E E DITO R As I am sure many of you have wondered, just what exactly does the word "Christmas" mean? Well it is simple really, all it means is "Christ," "Mass:" The mass of Jesus Christ, the celebration of his being; or to be precise, the celebration of his birth into this world. According to gallup. com, over 78 percent of all people in the U.S. are Christian, which is no wonder as to how this celebration became to be so big. Every year around this time, we start to prepare for the holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years; but the actual holiday of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, despite all that advertisements, media and commercialization make it out to be. According to commercials and retailers, Christmas is a time of year to share gifts, time with family and merriment. It is usually filled with yummy cookies, snowmen and above all, Santa and his reindeer. The notion 'of spending hoards of money, stress and time trying to race around to find the right presents for our loved ones is getting away from the true meaning of Christmas. If we take a moment and look into what exactly it is we are celebrating, then it might have more meaning to us and won't be (as it is for some) a stressful, sometimes lonely time of year. Having that "center," that purpose in life to know that it isn't just us in this life that we have to worry about, but to know that we aren't alone, to know that someone is out there looking out for us. The celebration of Christ-mass is the birthday celebration of that person who is your salvation, companion, and protector. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe; God will always be there for you. He does not judge you, but loves you! Without the love and sacrifice He has given us, we would have no meaning and no happy ending. So, the next time you say "Merry Christmas," just think to yourself how wonderful this world is because of His existence and the tremendous sacrifice He made on the cross for us. The sacrifice He made to open the pearly gates of heaven to us that we may have a fighting chance to prove ourselves in this life to deserve the treasure that awaits us in the next. Merry Christmas! By 2010, I had a child and I went back to school. The job that I had at the time was so stressful that I was having health problems during my pregnancy. My health issues drastically diminished the moment I stopped working. At that moment, I made a pact with myself to strive for excellence and well-being. Education would be a large part of achieving that goal. First and foremost, I want to thank every professor I have had the pleasure of meeting here. I want to thank you for every assignment, every lecture, and every grade I have received; because even the grades that are not up to par provide opportunity for improvement and learning. I want to thank every organization on campus and J e Gambrell & J essi uliana Stumpp D ESIG N E DITO R Morgan Hall Keandre Williams- Chambers B Y KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS C OP Y EDITOR We are almost there. The last month of our lives has come upon us all, or so we have been told. According to the lore we have heard over the past year and beyond, the Mayan calendar ends this December 21,2012, and with it, the world that we have known. Now, I am not very briefed on this subject, but there is one thing I am certain of. There have been many different hypotheses on the end times of this mortal world. There was the Y2K phenomenon that predicted the downfall of man due in part to our dependency on technology. Twelve years later, we're still here. There was buzz about the Rapture occurring in both May and October of N E W S E DITO R Melissa M artinez S P O R T S E DITO R Ale x Franco F EATURE S E DITO R Katlin Sweeney O PINIO N E DITO R Amir a El- Khaouli D ISTRIBUTIO N M ANAGER S J e Gambrell & J essi uliana Stumpp S A L E S REP Rogers J aflarian CARTOONISTS in school and stick with it; while you are at it, try everything that you can manage to try, time-permitting. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 30 percent of. people graduate college with a bachelor's degree. Almost eight percent have a masters and only three percent have a Ph.D. And according to the news, the top one percent of the wealthiest people in American control the largest portion of money, stock, property and business. Hmm. Challenge accepted! I wish everyone here that kind of success. See you on the other side CSUSM. Congratulations to all Seniors who are graduating this fall! 2011, the day or days in which divine judgment would be brought upon mankind. The only judgment seen was those that judged the prediction as inaccurate. My point is, each one had reasonably logical thinking and a good amount of backing. However, each one presented a good amount of speculation that was essentially based on the premise of "if this is true, then..." So, let's go about that premise. Let's think of what might happen should the end of the Mayan calendar accurately predict the end of the world. What could really be done about it? The apocalypse is not something any group of men could prevent in any way, especially considering that it marks a divine force that is both outside and towering over the realm of man. Let's presume it happens. It's unstoppable and uncontainable. Not a single soul is spared. Can we comprehend that being the end? Or will there be something after? The concept of time is something that man struggles with, and life encompasses that. Every person has at least had some sort of consideration as to the possibility of life being either unending or continuing after death. This, of course, goes into the realm of religion, but I am far from an expert on that field. But let's consider this. There are many possibilities, and the only way to truly know is to see the "other side" firsthand, supposing there may or may not be one. I wouldn't know. I haven't died yet, and I hope not to for a reasonable while (knock on wood). But whether or not the end of the world decides to grace us, we still have to consider that there are days before it. Are that many people that concerned? I doubt it. With the Christmas hype still going on strong, people seem to care more about that than the supposed coming end. It could be people's wishful thinking, or maybe even doubt, but I see it as people truly not caring about the coming end of the world. The habit has set in to not really believe each and every theory of the end. Heck, I even laughed at the premise of the apocalypse. If it happens, it will happen. I'll have no quarrel with it because there is little I can do about the matter.

"The Hobbit" book will be presented as a set of three movies. From the same makers as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so you can expect the same feel and quality of production. Get ready to be immersed into the fantastical world of the writer of the book series, J. RJR. Tolkien's "Middle Earth." Director Peter Jackson is a die-hard fan who even has his own "Hobbit Hole" house in New Zealand, the film location of the mov- ies. He managed to capture the amazing world that Tolkien had created in the books, bringing it to life through the magic of cinema and delivering the feel of Middle Earth as if you were walking through the beautiful fields and mountains. The plot revolves around Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), a hobbit who comfortably lives in the quiet village of the Shire that rarely ever sees any action at all. A fellow wizard, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) convinces him to go on a journey to the Lonely Mountains to help a fellowship of dwarves win back their stolen treasure from the greedy dragon, Smaug. Through their adventure to the mountains, they come across many chal- students here last month and the month before that." To Ends of the Earth jewelry and gourd crafter, Rosalyn Hackworth said. A live band, "Soul Malady," performed from 4 - 5:30 p.m. featuring guitarist and former stu- dent, Manny Sanchez and drummer and current stu-. dent, Nikola Pantic, "We have different genres, I call it a "fusion," we try to get a mix of reggae, latin and jazz," Pantic said.

'FF No. V Review - Familiar Faces Take Over the Future Foundation Warning: This article contains spoilers to recent story arcs. Comic art couple Michael and Laura Allred return to Marvel Comics with the relaunch of "FF." "FF," or better known as the "Future Foundation," began in 2010 when the "Fantastic Four" wanted to create a new organization after the departure of "Johnny Storm" in "Fantastic Four" Issue No. 587. With the old team now reunited, Reed Richards finds out that they must leave the foundation and hand over the commands to someone else. The team consists of "Medusa," "Ms. Thing," "She-Hulk," and leader "Ant-Man." It is an interesting mix of "fantastic" veterans who must now help teach the young geniuses while protecting the earth from harm. People question the appointment of "Ant-Man," for it is Scott Lang's return after losing his daughter, Cassandra Lang ("Stature") during "Avengers: Children's Crusade." Read "FF" Issue No. 1 to find out how the foundation got their new members and their reactions.

Education@red)ands.edu UNIVERSITY OF Redlands S C H O O L OF "Les Miserables" premieres Tuesday, Dec. 25 and is an adaptation from the longest running Broadway play. The film is full of passion and raw emotion from start to finish. "Les Miserables" first hit the stage in France in 1980. Originally a French fictional novel written by Victor Hugo and published in 1862, the American translation was not published until 1879, carrying over 1,200 pages. This upcoming movie boasts an all-star cast; with Hugh Jackman as lead role and ex-convict, Jean Valjean who tries to make, right in the world, Russell Crowe as the French guard, Javert who hunts Valjean.

The movie keeps very closely to the Broadway version of the story, being a classic Broadway musical, and is full of the wonderful songs and ballads such as "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and "Bring Him Home." This movie is already being considered for nomination of "Best Film of the Year" since it is going to be released late like director Tom Hooper's last Academy Award-winning film, "The King's Speech" two years ago. Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway are also being considered for nomination for the best actor and Actress. The film and actors warrant the high praise , they are receiving due to the never-before-seen "live" singing on set. The actors had an earpiece in their ear for each song , the melody was only played on a piano t o help guide them along, but everything else was up to them. The rest of the orchestra was added in later. This has never been done before in a motion picture film, which gave it a uniqueness arid genuine quality. "Les Miserables" will definitely be one of the movies that people, of all ages will want to see this Christmas break. Although be warned that with its highly intense and dramatic and sometimes violent scenes, it would probably not be a good idea to take anyone under teenage. Use your own discretion.

Kids and kids-at-heart alike were waiting with anticipation for Santa to climb the ladder to light the Christmas tree in front of City Hall. After Santa reached the top of the ladder, the crowd counted down and then the tree was lit, starting off the holiday season for the San Marcos community. There was no shortage of Christmas decorations, crafts, activities or kids at the City of Sail Marcos' "Santa's Magical Village" this past Saturday. Inside City Hall, there were dozens of Christmas trees decorated and lit as part of the "Festival of Trees," which was presented by the San Marcos Senior Services Foundation. The trees had been lighting up the hallways of City Hall since Nov. 19 - Dec. 2. The trees also provided many of Saturday night's guests with ideal backdrops for family photos. Outside City Hall, local youth entertained everyone with Christmas tunes. The ensembles that performed included the San Marcos Youth Orchestra, San Elijo Middle School Jazz Band, and the San Marcos High School Jazz Band. Their joyful, jazzy music filled the air, as did the delicious smells from the food trucks. From pizza to burgers to Mexican food and more, there was something for feveiyone to choose from to satisfy their appetites while enjoying the festivities of the evening. As for dessert, there was a booth for kids to make their own mini gingerbread houses! Inside the Community Center, craft vendors filled the hallways and various rooms throughout. Shoppers could find many colorful displays of jewelry, hats, scarves, decorations, and other items to help them check off their Photo by Alison S e eagl Christmas lists. There was even a room filled with games and activities for the kids to play with and the opportunity to meet Santa, to whisper to him what they wanted for Christmas, and get their picture taken. It was pretty easy to tell from all of the "Oohs," "Ahhs," and cheers that on this Saturday night, everyone who attended enjoyed themselves and both were and are happy that the Christmas season has finally arrived. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

This week, Coach Pugh discussed the high hopes for this year's team. Coach Pugh coached at Mission Bay high school before he began his tenure at CSUSM. H e saw great success as the head coach at Mission Bay, winning 8 CIF championships. Coach Pugh brought his championship pedigree to San Marcos, to begin building a (what is hoped to be) championship caliber team. When asked what the biggest adjustment has been since moving to CSUSM, Pugh said starting a new program and simply getting off the ground when starting out with little scholarship money, no field and poor facili- 2 /4 Women's Softball v.s. 5 3 v.s.

Pugh cites his inaugural group o f players and dedicated coaching staff as a contributing factor as to why the program is where it is now. When asked to describe his first five seasons, Coach Pugh said the first five years have been difficult for him personally as he said his teams faced a lot o f up and downs and saw challenges in scheduling games against same-level opponents. Pugh thinks this is the best team he's had in his five year tenure and is as good as anybody and is looking to get progressively better each and every week. 2 /7 Women's Golf, 6th. p lace/19 t eams 2 /10 M en's Baseball v.s.

Climbing stairs can provide a good cardiovascular workout while strengthening leg muscles and bones. According to the Center for Disease and Control (CDC), a 154 lb person burns five calories per flight o f stairs climbed. Think o f the possibilities! 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. Implement these natural alternatives into your daily routine, and you will not only b um more calories, but can help to prevent diseases brought on by sedentary lifestyles. W6 2 Thursday, Feb. 16.

J ULIANA S TUMPP S TAFF W RITER C SUSM's Civility Campaign celebrated Civility Week from Feb. 6 -9 in an effort to spread a positive message to students, professors and faculty. The Dean o f Students formed the Civility Campaign last semester in an effort to remove negativity and regenerate civility in the community. " Our goal· is to reestabl,ish the normal, so that the students are accountable for the students, as opposed to the administration stressing good behavior," student ambassador for the Civil~ ity Campaign, Sammi Carr, said. During Civility Week, each day had a certain theme reflecting what the campaign best represents.

Many clubs on campus are supporting the campaign, including A~sociated Students, Civility shirts are available to studentS at all . Civility Campaign events.

Organized by Professor Sandra Doller, the hour-long event touched on a number o f issues and topics including racism, politics and the corroding ideal o f American optimism. Rankine's presentation began with a viewing o f .three five-minute long video essays that she produced with her husband, visual artist John Lucas. The first video was a slowed-down version o f soccer player Zinedine Zidane's infamous head-butt. As Zidane slowly crept into position to deliver his ribsplitting head butt, Rankine's voice calmly spoke over the incident about the issue o f race itself, quoting a number o f famous authors including James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass and Shakespeare. The second film clip was a collage o f various people sleeping on airtine flights. The audio for this video was projected i n three layers. The sound o f a heartbeat could be heard throughout the video, while Rankine's spoken word and the tragic, final phone calls from those who perished on the various 9/11 flights accompanied it. The final video o f the trio was a somber, yet more hopeful one. It depicted a black man sitting in some sort o f car, staring out the window as the vehicle cruised to its destination. After the video wrapped up, Rankine explained what each video was about and revealed that the final video was actually about o f a pair o f brothers who had been imprisoned for twenty years o f their lives on unfair robbery chargers. The video was filmed on the day that one o f the brothers was released from prison. This segued into a discus- _ sion about a murder trial soon to be held in Brandon, Miss. Rankine explained the gruesome story, in which 19-year-old white male Deryl Dedmond intentionally ran over an innocent black man; for no clear reason. Further details explained that there is a chance that Dedmond may get away with his senseless act o f brutality. This provided a powerful paradoxical contrast to the two black men wrongly imprisoned for 20 years, bringing up racial issues in a powerful and candid manner. "Whiteness defines normality," Rankine said in regards to the contrast between the two cases. After a few more readings from her book . " Don't Let Me Be Lonely," Rankine concluded the e vent b y taking questions. Notable questions were about her opinion o f President Obama, to which she replied that while she did initially support his campaign, "No political party or presidency [is] going to have all o f the right answers." However, she stated that she did not believe hope is slipping away from the American people and that those in power needed to keep their promises and help those truly i n need rather than bend to the ways o f capitalism. The next Community and World Literary Series will feature Harold Jaffe on April 12 at 7 p.m., with the location to be determined.

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

These include a heart, possessing a stylized shape-; birds, due to their springtime mating season; and Cupid, the Roman god o f love who would cause his subjects to experience love and passion by shooting them with an arrow. According to the Britannica Online Encyclopedia, while the imprisoned priest may have written t he first "valentine," formal letters and cards did not appear until much later.

Since its announcement early last year, the handheld has been officially titled the PlayStation Vita (PSV), and Sony has released loads o f hardware details. Whether or not the launch is a success is determined by garners, but Sony is ready to win them over with a wealth o f new f eatures- some good and some that will leave you cursing the name "Vita." T he Good L et's start with the awesome stuff Sony packed into the new portable. The Vita places a heavy emphasis on digital distribution. That being said, the device is capable o f down- loading and playing all PlayStation Portable (PSP) games that are available o n the PlayStation Network (PSN). I f you downloaded P SP games from P SN, you can play them on your new Vita by linking it with your P SN account. The handheld will also sport a front and rear camera for use with applications like Skype. Developers are showing the Vita lots o f love with the release o f big-name launch titles such as "ModNation Racers: Road Trip," "Uncharted: Golden Abyss," "Wipeout 2048," "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 ," "Street Fighter X Tekken" and "Touch M y Katamari." These titles are shaping up to give the Vita an impressive start in the software department. Sony built in a gorgeous 5 " O LED touch screen, doing justice to those graphically stunning games. The Vita also has a rear touch pad, adding new depth PlayStation's handheld devices. For the truly nerdy, the PSV will feature a 32-bit quad-core processor, allowing quick navigation around the device. T he B ad Unfortunately, whatever seems too good to be true probably is and the PlayStation Vita is no exception. Since the Vita is downloadonly, P SP games you bought on their Universal Media Disk (UMD) will not be playable on the Vita.

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.

Though it begins with love, it ends with tragedy. The roles are based off real life couple Kim and Krickitt Carpenter who experienced a tragedy similar to the plot in " The Vow." The Carpenters' love and marriage was put on the line after Krickitt was in a tragic car accident leaving her with memory loss, and forgetting who her husband was and their entire marriage. In the movie, Tatum plays Leo, the husband to McAdams' character, Paige. Throughout the movie, Leo their marriage; he fights for _ never gives up on his wife and attempts to make her fall in love with him again.

ACE Scholars help foster students succeed jjMEsther Steams flor ACE Scholar BY SONNI SIMMONS COMMUNITY N EWS E DITOR CSUSM recently established a new center on campus in order to promote student well-being, facilitate engagement and advance its commitment to student success. ACE Scholars Services provides a comfortable, close-knit environment and individualized scholastic services for extended and former foster students at CSUSM. After a $1 million donation by Jan and Esther Stearns, ACE, which began on campus in 2007, now has its very own building. The new Jan and Esther Stearns Center for ACE Scholars was officially opened on Feb. 10 and features a lounge, study area and conference room for ease of study and focus. "[The ACE Scholar Services] is a place to call home and belong," said Leigh Quijada, ACE coordinator and counselor. "ACE students now have access to comfortable, welcoming spaces."

"We have found kindred souls in Jim Mickelson, in President Haynes, and in many others in this campus community people who are committed to identifying needs in our society . .. and taking bold action to make it better." During the Grand Opening, President Haynes took some time to thank the Stearns f or their generous donation and recognize them f or their outstanding dedication to the community. "We know that those coming from the foster care system are confronted with unique challenges in getting into, and through, college," said Haynes. "But we also know that, if given the chance, these students have much to offer our University, our region and the world. Cal State San Marcos is so fortunate that two community-minded heroes share that appreciation for our ACE Scholars." There are 55 students currently involved in the ACE program with more students projected to join the program in the following months. The national retention average of college students is 50% and, due to their focus on foster student's success, the ACE retention rate is 88%. This is a significant accomplishment, considering the average college graduation rate for individuals formerly involved in the foster care program is between 3-10%. This new center is sure to have a long lasting effect on former foster youth students for years to come.

About 40 students, including members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Afghan Student Association (ASA), gathered f or a candlelight vigil on Thursday evening, Feb. 12, at the Cesar Chavez Courtyard, in memory of the Chapel Hill shooting victims. The incident occurred on Tuesday, Feb. 10 in Chapel Hill, N.C. Three university students, Muslims of Arab descent, were shot and killed in their homè after what the police described as an ongoing dispute between neighbors over parking. Newly- Photo courtesy of Chris Morales mourn the loss of the three indiStudents and members of the Muslim Student Association gather to viduals killed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. weds Deah Barakat, 23, and Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and his sister, 19-year-old Razan Abu-Salha are said to have been respected members of their community and engaged in several volunteer based activities such as feeding the homeless and providing dental care to Syrian refugees. The alleged shooter, neighbor Craig Stephen Hicks, dis- appeared from the scene but later turned himself into the police. Hicks was indicted by a grand jury on Monday, Feb. 16, and is facing three counts of first degree murder. While the specific motive behind the shooting remains under investigation, some observers speculate that Hicks may have acted out of hatred for the victims and their religion. This is based largely off of reports about his outspoken disdain for many different religious beliefs displayed in his social media rants. The incident has caused public uproar and community members are in disbelief over what they are calling racial and religious injustice. Students are looking to spread awareness f or these issues and stop the violence. In an interview last week, Leena El Maleh, MSA President, explained her concerns with how the media handled this particular event and her hopes to change these perspectives. "This was a very tragic event where three accomplished and generous young people were shot and killed. In the media, it didn't get portrayed correctly and it was downplayed," El Maleh said. "We heard things like 'they were in the wrong place at the wrong t ime', but they were in their own home." El Maleh is hoping to gain the support of the student community in order to change the portrayal of Muslims in American society. "We encourage the community to learn about Islam and the true meaning of being a Muslim instead of just blindly following the media's depiction of our religion. The generosity and compassion of the three victims encompasses the most highly regarded values in Islam," El Maleh said.

The Vagina Monologues, written by Eve Ensler, is an episodic play that debuted on Oct.3, 1996 in New York City. Esteemed playwright and feminist Eve Ensler spent years interviewing women from various socioeconomic backgrounds and collecting their stories of feminine experience. Ensler realized a trend in these interviews: that despite the wide range of the women's backgrounds, they were all affected by similar experiences. Since its initial performance in 1996, the Vagina Monologues has gained recognition for bringing wom- en's stories and experiences to center stage and is still performed on hundreds of college campuses today. The monologues focus on topics such as sex, relationships and violence against women, and range from the hilarious to the heartbreaking. Student activist and Monologues performer, Karen GuzmXn, spoke highly of the play's message to viewers. "We live in a patriarchal society that allows us to talk about men's issues more so than women's. That's why this play is important: it prioritizes women's voices and women's issues," she said.

These are experiences and issues not often discussed in our society, but that affect millions of women every day. "These performances allow women to be heard by large groups of people. It lets women talk and relate to each other on topics we are told never to talk about, from rape culture to women's sexuality," GuzmXn said. While the Vagina Monologues does address very serious issues, it is hot without comic relief. Audiences are encouraged to engage in many of the more upbeat monologues. Performances of the Vagina Monologues will be held on Friday, March 13 and Saturday March 14 in Arts 111. Tickets are 5 dollars each and one hundred percent of the proceeds go towards organizations who are committed to helping women. Fellow students, family and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Campus leaders develop plans, timeline for Latin @ Center opening B Y K A T L I N S WEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF After President Haynes' announcement confirming the implementation of a Latin@ Center in the fall, many students, faculty and community members anxiously await the Center's relatively prompt opening. The Center is a result of the combined efforts of multiple student orgs., depts. and campus leaders who have been proposing its inception for years. Much of the work from the past year has been the product of student orgs, working together, including United Students of Color Coalition, S.T.A.N.D. and M.E.Ch.A. In her email announcement on Jan. 28, President Haynes confirmed that Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Lorena Meza, has been selected to "develop the operational structure, budget, location and timeline for the Center's opening." Dr. Meza confirmed that the Latin® Center is set to be opened at the start of the fall semester and will be housed in the USU. She also said that she has received multiple emails from students, faculty and staff expressing their enthusiasm about the Center's implementation. "This [Center] is a good opportunity to be transparent about our diversity that we value and pride ourselves on," she said. "Not only do we walk the walk but we talk the talk, and it is exciting to see things flourish as they get delivered and accepted." According to Dr. Meza, the process has already begun to find a director for the Center. The Center will also hire peer educators to help the Center's director with programming and student mentorship. "The Center's director will be reporting to the Associate Vice President of Student Academic Support Services," she said. "We are looking for a student services professional that has the skill set to handle different levels of development, as well as providing referrals and support to the students. There has been interest in the position already and we will choose whoever we feel is qualified to provide that level of guidance to the students." Students that have advocated for a Latin® Center voiced similar expectations for the future director. United Students of Color Coalition President, Thiana Ruiz, has been involved with the proposals for the Latin@ Center for more than a year. She also was part of the work group tasked by President Haynes to develop the proposal for the Center, which was submitted in December. "Finding the right director will be key to the way the Center is run," Ruiz said. "They will help a lot with the programming and we need someone who is inspirational, motivational and has a passion for helping all Latino and undocumented students." Having a Latin@ Center at CSUSM in the fall will provide a diverse range of resources to students, notably those who are Latino/a and/or undocumented. In spring 2010, the U.S. De- partment of Education recognized CSUSM as a Hispanic Serving Institution. This distinction is given to universities where at least 25 percent of the student populace identifies as Hispanic/ Latino. In 2014, students that identified as Latino/a were the second largest group on campus, accounting for 35.6 percent of the population while Caucasian students totaled 35.8 percent. According to the recently released Cougar Stats for 2015, CSUSM students that identify as Latino/a are now the largest population on campus. 39 percent of the student populace identifies as Latino/a, surpassing the Caucasian student population by 6 percent. However, the Center is not intended to be a resource solely for Latino/a and undocumented students, but the entire campus. "We hope that it is a positive place, a place of resources, culture, acceptance and diversity where all students can go to learn about different centers," Ruiz said. "I think that the value of having a center for the campus, with almost 40 percent of our students being Latino, is that it is a place for dialogue where we can gain understanding about a lot of cultures," Meza said. "This is an opportunity for understanding other Latin countries, dialogue about their richness and culture and enrichment for faculty and students. It is a place to have those conversations. This is an exciting time to implement the center." CSUSM students and health educators recently took part in a global phenomenon in order to represent important social issues and to take a stand against violence. V- Day, held on Feb. 14, is an annual, worldwide movement to end violence against women, and to raise awareness for related issues. On Feb. 10, organizations such as Student Health & Counseling Services (SHCS), the HOPE and Wellness Center, Active Minds, Students Talking About Relationships and Sex (STARS), Planned Parenthood and North County Health Services, gathered together to create interactive education opportunities for CSUSM students. Organization booths and tables were set up right outside the University Student Union (USU) and surrounding the Library Plaza. Students were able to participate in activities and educate themselves on issues regarding women, including health and sexual violence. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM Health Educator and HOPE and Wellness Center Coordinator, explained that VDay was created after the Vagina Monologues took off in 1996. She hopes that they will be able to reach out to all students and encourage them to take part in this movement. "Our message for students is more along the lines of what is considered sexual violence, what is considered consent and if you have consent, how do you engage in Photo courtesy of Chris Morales Sister Develyn Angels and Postulant Dolly Mama discuss safe sex techniques. sex and make it safer. We | then, of course, want students to know what their resources are and what their options are as survivors,11 Nguyen said. The V- Day effort also gave life to another powerful event called One Billion Rising. Launched in 2012, One Billion Rising is a flash mob that has taken place in over 200 countries and allows for the expression of outrage against women's injustice, gender violence and patriarchy. "The One Billion Rising dance is an accompaniment of V-Day to express sexual violence awareness artistically. We will be performing it at the Vagina Monologues on March 13 and 14," said Nguyen. Karen GuzmXn, student activist and campus leader, says that the importance of V-Day and One Billion Rising is that they have the ability to evoke empowerment. "As women, you are taught to only take up a small amount of space and to be quiet.

"One in three women around the world will experience a form of abuse in their lifetime. We want to put faces to the numbers and tell people that it is time to stand up and do something. This is why we rise," GuzmXn said. CSUSM students are encouraged to take part in this movement to end violence against women and to initiate change amongst the student body and community. For students who have experienced any type of violence, SHCS offers free confidential counseling and a safe place to connect with other survivors.

These organizations' leaders are planning for future events and they welcome the student body to participate as well. They said they intend to keep advocating against violence and continue to push these issues towards the forefront of the American psyche. "We are planning an interfaith dialogue in collaboration with the other clubs on campus to create a space. where students from different faiths can have place to discuss and share topics, to harbor an environment of understanding on campus. Professor Kim Quinney was very generous to help us make this possible," said Khalil. To take part in these upcoming events, contact MSA or ASA for more information.

Thompson is nothing short of a warrior on the basketball court. Recently winning the A.I.I. player of week award only cements how much a great player Thompson is. The A.I.I. is the conference the sports teams here at CSUSM compete in. With the tons of athletes in the A l l . from all the 18 schools in the conference, that is a big ac- complishment, not just for Thompson, but for any player. "There are many amazing athletes throughout the nation and I feel blessed that I was chosen to represent the female athletes," Thompson said.

Moments before that play, it seemed as if the Seahawks were a lock for the Lombardi Trophy. The Seahawks were second and goal at the one yard line with 25 seconds left in the game. Instead of running for one yard, the Seahawks ran a pass play, where Russell Wilson dropped back to the eight yard line to throw to his target. Rookie Malcolm Butler jumped the route and intercepted the pass. Butler effectively sealed the Patriots victory in the last possible moments of Super Bowl XLIX. There is no need for a statement about that play, because Deion Sanders already summed it up perfectly when he stated in the postgame broadcast that the pass play by the Seahawks was "the worst play call in the history of the Super Bowl." Instead, there is reason to argue that the Super Bowl MVP should not have gone to Tom Brady, but should have gone to Malcolm Butler. The Super Bowl MVP should go to the player who is the most memorable and impactful out of all the athletes on the field. Tom Brady was solid, with a quarterback rating of 101, but when thinking back to this Super Bowl, people aren't going to be talking about the passes that Brady made. Instead, football fans will reminisce over Butler's goal line interception because it shocked a stadium and a nation of football fans who were convinced they were witnessing the Seattle Seahawks win another Super Bowl title. With 25 seconds left on the clock, no one ~ not even Tom Brady who was quietly sitting on the sidelinescould have predicted that Butler, an undrafted rookie free agent, would have made a game-changing interception when it mattered the most. Fans are going to remember Malcolm Butler and his critical interception as the highlight of the Super Bowl, and that is why he is deserving to be the true MVP of Super Bowl XLIX. litically correct path players usually take, but Thompson is sincere with her remarks. You can tell honesty from an athlete when you ask them about individual statistics and they have the response Thompson had. "I am always trying to score, rebound and block as much as I can and I am disappointed when my numbers don't exceed my averages," said Thompson. "Statistics are a way of measuring my effectiveness on the court." With stellar averages of 13 points and 9 rebounds to go along with 1.7 blocks a game, all bets are on if you are betting on Heather Thompson being effective. This being Thompson's last season, you can only hope the best for her. "The ideal way to end the season is to win out the rest of our schedule, win the conference tournament and compete in the national tournament," Thompson said. Some may see those statements as unachievable goals, but others view them as achievements within arm's reach; place Thompson in the latter category. If you ever see Thompson around campus, be sure to wish her luck on her final season. Hidden gem for free workouts Getting in shape has never been better on your pockets areas offitness.

"We have a Natural Hair Show on Feb. 10 in Ballrooms A&C from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Our texture is looked at as bad, it needs to be permed, weaved, changed, but we should embrace our natural beauty," Green said. The Natural Hair Show is only one of multiple events for Black History Month hap- pening throughout February. "We have "The Harlem Renaissance Revealed" exhibit, [it is] highlighting individuals who drove the movement and highlighting the cultural awareness of bringing about Black Power," Green said. "We also have our Black History Month Festival on Feb. 19 in the Library Plaza during U-hour and we are screening Selma on Feb. 20." BSU is about progression and alliance amongst people, as their motto is "Believe, strive, and unite," proudly cites Green. However, a time when BSU felt discouraged occurred last semester during the release of the Michael Brown verdict. Immediately, BSU showed support but was bothered by students' nonchalant demeanors. Even though eyewitnesses say Brown assaulted the officer, BSU felt the situation was mishandled. Students reacted, 'Well, he robbed a store,' "That doesn't justify his death, he should've been in jail, that's what jails are for. He robbed a store, but have you ever done anything bad in your life? Have you ever broken laws in your life? If someone murdered you, how would your family feel? You wouldn't deserve that; due process is what you'd deserve," Green said. Incidents like this case is why BSU is passionate in their endeavors. "People need to know, when people say, 'That stuff happens all the time,' we can't have that, that attitude's not progressive," Green said. "It happens all the time, but when are we going to say something? When are we going to change laws so it doesn't happen all the time and when it does, we have an emotional response."

I had just come home from a long, stressful day of school and was craving something sweet. My roommates suggested that we all get some donuts. I thought this idea was absolutely preposterous because obviously no one sells donuts at this time, unless you want to eat the stale, leftover round things at Seven-Eleven. Then one of my roommates explained to me that there is a 24/7 donut shop located in San Marcos. I was hesitant to believe him at first, but eventually decided to go after some convincing. After a few minutes of driving, the three of us finally arrived to our destination. There, in front of me, was a lit-up sign that said, Yum Yum Donuts, Open 24/7. Feelings of excitemént and joy were overwhelming at that moment. We walked inside and began ordering. Each individual donut cost 99 cents, a half of dozen costs a little over 5 dollars, and a full dozen (includes two extra donuts) costs roughly 9 dollars. These are average prices and something I would Photo by Chris Morales Yum Yum Donuts open all night for your late night cravings. expect from a donut shop.

It did not taste freshly cooked and the bread of the pastry was a little too stale for my taste. The glazed frosting was excellent, but I did not feel that there was enough to cover that taste of the bare bread. My gustatory system was not impressed. If you want to enjoy an outstanding glazed donut, I'd recommend making a trip to your local Krispy Kreme. Of course, this only applies to those fortunate enough to have one nearby. The raspberry jelly-filled donut was a different story. I am a huge fan of jelly-filled donuts and I have to say, Yum Yum's take on the classic creation was absolutely amazing. The bread of the pastry was very soft and instantly FASHION melted in my mouth. The jelly portion was sweet, but not too overwhelming. This is a mistake that I have noticed most donut shops will make. Overall, my experience at Yum Yum was impressive. The service was great, employees were pleasant, and the donuts were quality. I would recommend going earlier in the day when the baked goods are more fresh. Stopping by late at night seems to be a hit or miss situation. If you are looking for something available, fair priced and pretty tasty, then make your way over to Yum Yum. I'll see you jelly-filled lovers there!

It must have been a moving speech. MLK, Jr. was a black Civil Rights activist who was unjustly beaten, jailed and eventually assassinated for his convictions. He was an inspirational, charismatic spokesman who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 by rallying a nation to stop racism. What more is there to know? How about how he became a great leader, how about what he rooted his reasons and convictions in, how about how he was able to change the world? King is one of the greatest Civil Rights activists because of his character, convictions and education, all of which encouraged him to fight for social justice. MLK, Jr. was a pastor like his father and his grandfather. Also, like his father and grandfather, he graduated with a B.A. degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. He studied theology at Crozer Theological seminary in Pennsylvania, graduating with a B.D in 1951 as the class president and went on to receive his doctorate from Boston University in 1955. In his most famous speech, "I Have a Dream," delivered at the feet of the Lincoln Memorial 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, he called for the end of racism and demanded justice as it was promised to them. In his "Dream" speech, he reminded the people that all men are created equal; and there would not be satisfaction in treatment of anything less. He spoke of justice as if it was something to be grasped - like a virtue independent of those withholding it. He spoke of men being created equal as if there were some sort of transcendent laws that gave all men intrinsic value. Could these same ideas be grounded in anything today? When beliefs run rampant and culture is so quick to say that no one's judgments are valid or invalid, how do we advocate for justice? Where did or does justice come from? Can justice be defined by those who wield the pens of legislation? Martin Luther King, Jr. believed in a Creator of the universe, a Creator of transcendent laws and a Creator of justice. He was moving because he appealed to those that held the same beliefs. He appealed to reason. Another of his most moving works is the collection of letters from the Birmingham jail - less famous yet more eloquent, persuasive and filled with reason. In these letters he explains the importance of his non-violent direct action methods. With these methods he sought to create tension - a tension that we must never be afraid of. Tension forces those who refuse to negotiate to act. His methods, as he says in his letter from Birmingham jail, were inspired from specific Biblical characters, Christian persecutions by the Romans and Socrates in Greece. There are those who are still ignorant enough to blame religions for racism and slavery. It is time to face the reality that one of the greatest Civil Rightsactivists was highly educated through a Christian and theological education. MLK, Jr. recalls that "everything Hitler did in Germany was 'legal,'" and through Hitler's example, we know that it is not laws that create justice. No law can make any immoral action good. Like a man losing his sight who doesn't know it, these wrongs will only become acceptable and no longer realized.We still face issues of racism. We still face issues that are deemed legal or socially acceptable. As MLK, Jr. sat in jail, he described his frustration with the moderates. Moderates are those who know what to do yet will not act. Moderates are those who know when a wrong is occurring and when injustice is happening, yet do not have the character to stand up for what is right. Martin Luther King, Jr. knew that life has meaning. He knew that we are not just animals that evolved by accident. He knew that justice was not a product of culture but a virtue to be grasped by all people. This is what is important to know about Martin Luther King, Jr. This is why he and his convictions remain relevant. if Photo by Chris Morales Preconceived notions can impact both parties. BY ZACH SCHANZENBACH SENIOR S TAFF W RITER It's no secret that racism was deeply embedded in American culture in the past. In fact, black men didn't succeed in obtaining the same rights as white men until President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, a mere 50 years ago. Since then, the prevailing ideology is that all men are equal, regardless of skin color, and that no one should be treated less because of the skin color. That's how it's stated, but is that how it's lived out? Sure, black men as a whole are no longer explicitly treated as inferiors, and that's a good thing. But racism still exists in America. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or in denial. They are ignorant if they don't understand that racism is a philosophy as opposed to a set of laws, in denial if they don't want to acknowledge it. Interestingly enough, the only time I personally have noticed racism getting no attention is when the tables are turned. In other words, if a black man expresses racist thoughts towards a white man, the media will shrug and say that he's just venting anger. If a white man did this to a black man, everyone would lose their minds and be condemning him for racism. As you read this, one word may come to mind: Ferguson. The riots that broke out when a white cop killed a black criminal were a horrifying response to what the protesters believed was an act of blatant racism. What many people fail to understand, however, is that racism is, as I like to put it, a two-way street. It goes both ways. Look it up in the dictionary and you won't read that it's when a white man hates a black man. You will read that it's the belief that one skin color is superior to another. So if a black man hates a white man because his skin is white, he is just as racist as a white man who hates a black man because his skin is black. A white man who calls a black man racist as a result of a hateful or racist action against a white man will be ignored, even though he's correct in pointing it out. Flip the tables, and the world will sympathize with the black man. A man who calls white hatred for black people and black hatred for white people what it is, namely racism, is a man who can be trusted. Why we are afraid of some police B Y K I A WASHINGTON AND K E ANDRE W I L L I A M S - C H A M B E R S CONTRIBUTORS Living as a black individual in America is not an easy thing. As events in the present and recent history have shown, those responsible for public safety oftne present life and death fear in many non-white individuals. Those who cause the fear are sworn to protect the general public in instances that can be both domestic and foreign. Yes, we are talking about the police. Recent events ranging from the Ferguson events still fresh in everyone's minds to the infamous Los Angeles Riots that rocked not only southern California but the rest of the nation, have the common theme of police brutality. Such repeated incidents have left a sting of heavy and legitimate fear in the black community for the intents behind many officers' desires to protect. Many ask, "from what?" Growing up as black individuals, we have been instilled a code of conduct around officers, passed down throughout the generations. We are told to uphold as much forward respect as we can and not give any officer any reason to assume we are doing anything wrong. As "ThisIsACommentary" YouTube channel star Tre Melvin notes in his social analysis of the invasion of the "BlackLivesMatter" hashtag by the "AllLivesMatter" hashtag, black individuals do not even have to commit a crime to be labeled by many as criminals, when our crime is simply being black. Furthermore, Melvin notes that two things commonly occur when black individuals take a stand for themselves and try to get their message heard. He notes that black people are more often than not painted as savages by the media and then, when any sort of truth is heard by the general public, it is somehow assimilated into a general message that robs the original movement of its mean- ing. While ^AMLivesMatter" is a valid hashtag that people should live by, it overshadows how much "BlackLivesMatter" strives to achieve. It erases the visibility that black people try to reach on the scale of life and death in the eyes of the law enforcement that has made habits of trying to victimize black people and pass it off as the inevitable end "black-onblack crime" would bring. Not all police officers are bad. Many do their job with the sole intent of serving and protecting the public from harm. While we do sincerely respect that, it is those few who abuse the power that leaves us wary, and the lack of visible punishment for those who abuse that power that leave us afraid. Inaction has been shown in history to be taken as a sign of consent in this day and age, and isn't much of a leap to believe that the absence of punishment is encouragement of this behavior. Otherwise, history would not continue to repeat itself. "If you have done nothing wrong, what do you have to hide?" remains as valid justification for many ethically, morally and legally wrong actions taken by law enforcement towards not only black individuals but all people of color. This causes us to believe this era of fear is far from over. tìillli, i lptfillSS!l|Sil®ilSlijliik S S i f ">—j# w-—- 1:5M8SSS Iff i vr Graphic drawn by Shakara Thompson. �8 Opinion Editor: . cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, F EBRUARY 18,2015 Let's stop HIV together Taking a proactive approach to awareness wanted to raise awareness poet and advocate within. as well as address some of Nick Sabree recited "Who Saturday, Feb. 7,2014 was the race relations concern- Aril I," which was a converNational Black HIV/AIDS ing black America through sation that challenged socieAwareness Day.

L E T T E R TO T H E E D I T O R What Black History Month means to me B Y C IARA W ALKER STAFF WRITER It is a time to pay homage to my ancestors and reflect upon all the strides we have made as a people while never becoming complacent. There's so much work left to be done. I am re-dedicating my life's purpose and being a part of the change in which I wish to see and instilling in my children all the traditions and cultures I had growing up. I am reenacting the past and learning beyond the surface of Black History. There's more to our great race than MLK, Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman.

Let me take a moment and set the record straight. As a rider of the SPRINTER myself, here are stfme of the comments I 've heard that just aren't true. "Oh my gosh, the SPRINTER is dangerous!" Let's be honest for a moment, shall we? Everyone knows there is a belief that the SPRINTER is dangerous. Even my own boss refuses to ride the train. Last May one of my co-workers was graduating from CSUSM and some of us were going to his commencement ceremony. Let me just put all of your train-related fears aside. First of all, there are security guards who regu- Photo by Cody Cook The SPRINTER offers an affordable and convenient mode of transporation for many North County residents. larly ride the train to check tickets and maintain order and safety. Secondly, I have been taking the SPRINTER for over a year and I can honestly say that I have yet to see Freddy Krueger or that dude from all the SAW movies riding the train (I think they're more of the hitchhiking type, but that's just my opinion). I have, however, seen students, workers, elderly citizens, teens and kids on the train. If any of these groups of people scare you in the slightest then I highly recommend staying far away from the SPRINTER. Otherwise, you'll be fine. A semester permit here costs a whopping $338.00. I don't know about you, but between tuition and books and luxuries like food and rent, I do not have that kind of money to be shelling out for parking. A one-way ticket for the SPRINTER that lasts two hours costs two dollars. A month long pass for CSUSM students is $40.00. If someone bought monthly passes for the whole semester, it would cost $160.00. Something about $160.00 is just so much more appealing than $338.00, but maybe that's just me. "Taking the SPRINTER wastes time." While taking the SPRINTER to campus can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour depending on which station you depart from, you can use that time to get homework done. I am a world-class procrastinator and getting last-minute studying done on the train has saved me countless times. The train comes with free Wi-Fi which is also helpful. "A SPRINTER that size must be bad for the environment." Actually the SPRINTER is very eco-friendly. An estimated 8,500 hundred people take the train on an average workday. That's a lot of emission, smog and pollution saved compared to if even half of those passengers drove a car for their commute instead. The SPRINTER is like a enormous carpool, only you don't have to wear a seatbelt and you don't get stuck in traffic. Does it get better than that? In light of all of this, I challenge you to set your preconceived notions of the SPRINTER aside, and try it out as your new method of getting to and from school. Black Student Union presents first annual Natural Hair Show BY C IARA W A L K E R STAFF WRITER How many of you have wondered if your black female classmate cut her hair whenever she wore it curly and suddenly her tresses shrunk several inches? What about judging the texture - does it feel as soft as it looks? Does it stink? What exactly is holding that afro together? Why put smoothies (hair concoction of different kitchen ingredients usually for deep conditioning/moisturizing) in your hair - doesn't it make its own oil? Is she wearing a weave (as if she can't grow long, healthy hair)? What is good hair? What is bad hair? These are some of the questions and unspoken concerns that were addressed via a student-led panel of seven women and one man. BSU President Akilah Green had this vision for a little over a year, simply wanting to persuade more people to embrace natural beauty and what better way than to show off the many different types of kinks and curls? The panel on Feb. 10 included a natural hair show where each model was introduced, as well as their hair motto, which centered on self- love and acceptance. Brianna Cordova says that her natural hair journey helped her to find her identity because she can be free and feel beautiful. She said she is comfortable in the skin she's in through her hair because once she accepted her naps, she accepted herself. "Nappy" is a term originally coined to describe kinky hair that used to have a negative connotation, but now it is more frequently associated with a more positive message. People are actually happy to be nappy. Mikal Davis says that his hair has become his icon because it is an identifier. People recognize him close and afar just from his hair. He said embracing his natural hair is difficult and managing it is time-consuming. However, it's worth it because he loves his hair. Hair journeys and regimens were shared. A video of interviews of people from around campus shed light on the misconceptions of good and bad hair. They were also asked to think about how companies target a certain demographic through their marketing. Unless it's a product specific to "ethnic hair care" then you don't usually see an African American woman being featured on the commercial. A brief clip of some of the models candidly talking amongst each other about their hair was also played. There was spoken word, laughter and it drew a very diverse audience. Most importantly, what seemed to be the central theme of loving yourself from the crown of your head, was repeatedly reiterated. Although I am against perming (chemically altering my natural hair) and I rarely use heat, I want to stress that there is nothing wrong if you choose to do either. The problem is if you are doing so solely because society teaches that is the only way to be beautiful. Or you are doing so because you don't like your natural self - that's more of a self-esteem issue as opposed to hairstyle preference. My personal message about embracing your natural beauty is to make sure that behind the layers of makeup, underneath the tracks of weave/hair extensions, without your fly outfit, even on a bad hair d ay.... love who you are. Don't feel inadequate just because you don't have to fit into the prototype of mainstream beauty. Don't worry if your big, beautiful afro makes others uneasy - relax. Pun intended.

Traveling has always been a dream of mine. As a history student I have always wanted to see the many places I have studied as well as experience new languages, cultures and scenery. This trip proved to be the adventure of a lifetime. I ended up seeing Big Ben, Abbey Road, Westminster Abbey, Stonehenge, the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, the Roman Forum and the Coliseum, as well as soak- ing up the local culture through the cuisine, music and quirks of each city. Thefirstcity that I encountered was London, which was similar to New York City in its vibrant nightlife and beautiful structures. Although the food was disappointing (big shock, right?!), the people were extremely polite and charming. The second city which I arrived at via the English Chunnel, also known as the Channel Tunnel (an experience in itself), was Paris. Our group ended up arriving here 20 minutes after the tragic terrorist attacks at the Charlie Hebdo office. This prevented our group from going into the heart of the city because of strict security measures, but two other girls and I snuck out via taxi and got our much anticipated Eiffel Tower "selfie." Our last destination, which captured my heart, was Rome. Rome was more than I expected. It was a mixture of antiquated buildings from centuries ago but amongst the ruins were also apartment buildings in which young, hip, modern people dwelled. Among my favorite parts of Rome were obviously the red wine, the cappuccinos, as well as discovering my affinity for opera. I felt that of all the cities Rome was the friendliest. With a Mediterranean climate much like that of San Diego, people are out and about all the time and are always willing to help if you get lost. The culture there was captivating in that it was so different from America. I recommend travel to students in college because it not only gives you confidence but opens your eyes to how others live and view the world. Through this experience, I was able to also solidify my plans after graduation. Because of the experience, I realized that I want to teach English in Italy. Although I will have to brush up on my Italian, without traveling I never would have realized how much I was missing and I would have never fell in love with a country and a people.

We're all get- stairs and our binders are And what about phones, ting a feel for our new class yet to become the chaotic way to behave when we sit tablets and laptops? Simple ideas of classroom etiquette get more complicated with the infusion of technology into the learning environment. Personally, I love technology in the classroom. It's engaging, easy to manage and more organized than a binder. But that doesn't mean that any and all technology-driven activities are sanctioned in the classroom. The same grade-school rules can be applied to technology. Don't talk while the professor is speaking; texting is a digital form of talking. Even if your professor doesn't hear your conversation, you're still being disrespectful. Be attentive; checking your Facebook rather than taking notes on your laptop, or working on an assignment for another class, is not paying attention. The concept behind these absolutely novel actions is really very simple: respect people. Instead of putting the focus on petty rules, you can think of classroom etiquette as an act of honoring people as valuable human beings. Respect your professors enough to not interrupt them, respect your peers enough to not distract them and respect yourself enough to actually learn and grow even in the smallest way.

Oh, I had the materials for the foundation, but I never bothered L.A. Area Summer Day Camp www.workatcamp.com myself and how I do things. I decided that I wanted to be more dynamic.

If you asked the people I went to high school with if I was a dynamic person, they would probably say yes (assuming that they remember me). After all, I got voted as having the most school spirit as a senior. My energy, however, has dwindled significantly since I left high school, and I want to bring it back up. I'm doing okay so far.

I could have picked a number of words: selfless, kind, patient, outgoing (actually, I wouldn't pick that one). There are a lot of words I could pick, and there are a lot of words you can pick, too. If you don't feel up to the challenge of writing a list of things, or you know you're gonna fail, pick one word, one concept, and resolve to work on that throughout the year. If resolutions work for you, then go ahead and make them. But they probably don't. So take my advice: one word or concept. It's simple enough... and I 'm sure you'll get results.

After a decade of studio silence, Sleater-Kinney returns with a fun and upbeat album that is fantastic from start to finish. Sleater-Kinney formed in Olympia, Washington in 1995 and was a pivotal part of the "riot grrl" and indie rock scene for a decade before they called it quits. But Sleater-Kinney is back with the familiar sound their fans love yet sung with fresh vocals. True to form, Corin Tucker's lead vocals are nothing short of powerful. New listeners may recognize lead guitarist Carrie Brownstein from the hit comedy show Portlandia, who absolutely kills on every track. With Janet Weiss (of the Shins) on drums, each track delivers an expressive yet clean sound. If you haven't heard any of Sleater-Kinney's work before, they have a similar sound of some of The Black Keys and Bikini Kill's work. Sleater-Kinney's first single off the album, "Bury Our Friends", definitely pays homage to The Black Keys and the two bands' ongoing influence on each other. Deviating from their more recent LPs, "No Cities" is a fast-paced and more optimistic album, yet it still retains the band's classic blend of social commentary and fantastic riffs.

Looking at comics now, especially mainstream titles, the cast of characters has grown to gradually reflect the modern population. Recently, Marvel passed the mantles of title superheroes to new faces: Latino high schooler Robbie Reyes as the Ghost Rider, a woman now carries Mjolnir as Thor, African American Avenger Sam Wilson as Captain America. While there is a diverse presence in the fictional universes, the industries are slowly building a workforce that is inclusive of diverse creators. Writer Joseph Phillip IIlidge commented in his Feb .9 installment of his Comic Book Resources column, "The Mission," about DC Comics's Convergence event and the recent hiring of Ming Doyle, David Walker and Gene Luen Yang, three critically acclaimed writers of color. "It shouldn't be news that the publisher of comic books for more than seventy-five years, of the thousands of tales about heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, hired people of color to write, give or take, one-twentieth of their monthly comic book output. But it is. It shouldn't highlight the lack of equality in the hiring of writers of color on the part of DC Comics' competitor, because there shouldn't be one," Illidge said. Hopefully the news will be part of the bigger strives for more diversity in their workforce. Long Beach Comic Expo will be held at the Long Beach Convention Center Feb. 28 and March 1.

But the worst was the Oscar-nominated Eddie Redmayne as the evil Balem. He was so bad in this movie that I now think his chances at winning Best Actor for The Theory of Everything might be all but torpedoed. I don't blame the actors. Most of them are talented and have given good performances before. The blame lies with the Wachowskis, who have showed multiple times that they're better at directing visuals than people. Moreover, the story was a complete mess. It was too long, ' too — convoluted and filled with clichés. Even the action, which you'd expect the Wachowskis to be able to do, is stale and poorly directed. I desperately wanted to like the Wachowskis. Bound and The Matrix were great movies, and I'm still not convinced that they were just flukes. But it seems that they lost their touch a long time ago. They had already failed with Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas, and now Jupiter Ascending is getting negative reviews and doing weak business. It's going to take a lot to revive their careers, but that revival is looking increasingly unlikely. O O* </ It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the Baron!

This came after hitting it big with singles like "Video Games" as well as the LP she dropped shortly after, "Born To Die." With this record, she continued to drop big tracks like "Summertime Sadness", "Blue Jeans" and the title track to the LP. The fusion of vintage vocals and chamber pop vibe, mixed with hip-hop beats, is the focus of Del Rey's sound prior to her second full-length album, "Ultraviolence".

In August, Del Rey will release another full-length album. Her album will be called "Honeymoon".

ROTC students want to end SDSU trips B Y K ATUN SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Students currently enrolled in ROTC must travel 60 miles round-trip f rom CSUSM to SDSU to take the appropriate classes, which has sparked the debate over whether military science courses should be offered on campus. A favorable vote f rom the Academic Senate would allow ROTC members, as well as any students interested in the subject material, to take military science courses at CSUSM. The classes would focus on leadership skills while having military principals. Students can participate in ROTC at CSUSM, however the courses that are required for them to take are cross-enrolled through SDSU. ROTC students are required to commute to San Diego on Tuesdays for an outdoors leadership lab and on Thursdays f or work in the classroom. The program is extremely time intensive, some participants commuting up to four times a week f or extra train- ing to help them excel. Proponents for military science courses say that making them available at CSUSM will save ROTC members currently driving to SDSU on a weekly basis drastic amounts of time and money. In the case of former ROTC member-Jeff Gutowski, commuting to San Diego cost him $2000 a semester in gas. While financial aid was able to help with the expenses, Gutowski says that many members have to drop out of the program because they cannot afford the gas on their own.A student that wants to complete the ROTC program must finish it within .four years, or five years if they have an approved special major. This adds an even greater sense of urgency for students to build the rest of their class schedule around when the ROTC courses they need are offered. However, students must also graduate with a college degree in order to ensure that they meet all qualifications necessary for pursuing a job in the armed forces post-graduation. ROTC participants performing color guard at the Cougar baseball game. They w ork hard inside and outside of the classroom t o obtain their college degree and establish experience and understanding, while participating in military training. This image and more can be found at http://csusnrwrmyrotc.weebly.com/. "I had to quit because I didn't have enough time to graduate, and because of the cost factor," Gutowski said. " I'm such an advocate [of ROTC] because it is such a good program. It teaches you things you can't get around school. But some students have to be down to SDSU by 6 a jn. They are there for three hours and then have to rush back to CSUSM for a 10:15 class, and are on campus as late as 8 p.m. so that they can get the rest of their classes they need. The commute limits their ability to actually invest in the program." David Casas, who has stayed in the program and still commutes to SDSU on a regular basis, echoed similar sentiments about how the time and financial burden have negatively impacted his experience. Casas, who graduates this semester, is working towards a career in the Air Force. "To compete, you have to put in extra time and effort to your responsibilities and take the initiative to get them done. The day you join, you're in charge of people. Learning to manage people requires a lot of face time, so I have be there for three hours, twice a week," Casas said. "It's a lot of management right off the back. And you have to make sure that you yourself are competitive so that you can work towards a career as a pilot, nurse, or any other professional career you want. You have to promote yourself so that they see that you are worth the Air Force's dollar f or them to invest in you." Critics of having military science courses on campus argue that integrating them into the university course catalogue would be a step in the wrong direction. Opponents say that the military's message of bloodshed and violence are not as productive on a college campus as offering nonmilitary and diplomatic solutions. "[CSUSM] has a different purpose for our existence. We are not about military engagements. I 'm always sympathetic to students of how difficult it is to piece together work, classes, family and personal time. It's not that I totally don't hear that issue," Sociology Dept. Chair, Dr. Sharon Elise, said. "But that's not what the CSU means or what we came here to build. This is the people's university and we can show people other options they (Military science continued on page 2). Political Corner Health care law changes point to college students B Y SARAH HUGHES NEWS EDITOR Recent changes involving health care have many concerned and. questioning, but information regarding the Affordable Care Act may look different depending on whether one is a student or the supporter of a large family. Under the Affordable Care Act, everyone must enroll for health insurance or pay a fee as of Jan. 2014. The fee is scheduled to increase. The 2014 annual penalty is $95 for the individual, with up to a family maximum of $285 or 1 percent of the family income, whichever is greater. The 2016 annual penalty is extended to $695 M I NEXT ISSUE M ar 5 , 2 0 1 3 for the individual, with up to a family maximum of $2,085 or 2.5 percent of the family income, whichever is greater. In three years time, that is a $600 increase for the individual without health insurance. Though the pre-paid student health- fee allows enrolled CSUSM students to receive free basic services for colds, physical exams, cryotherapy, biopsies, immunizations and other ailments, it is not health insurance. "You do not need health insurance to utilize Student Health and Counseling Services. However, supplemental health insurance is strongly recommended . . . We strongly urge you to maintain health insur-, ance," Student Health and Counseling's information on health insurance states. The Student Health and Counseling Services page has links f or applying for health insurance through CSUSM and information about it. If a student is covered by their parents' insurance, they don't need to get it through CSUSM. Covered CA lists the Affordable Care Act's changes for customers as "more health insurance options," "protection for consumers," "fines f or no coverage," "affordable coverage and financial assistance," "increased coverage" and "what businesses will need to do." ."All health insurance plans (not counting most plans sold before March 10,2010) must provide health insurance for individuals and their, families | even if someone has a health condition such as diabetes or asthma. That health insurance cannot be dropped if someone gets sick," Covered CAsaidi If one follows the CSUSM Student Health and Counseling Services health insurance page, they will see a list of available policies provided through Wells Fargo Insurance Services. The insurance options are based on whether a student is a U.S. Citizen, an International student or other options. A domestic student who is a U.S. citizen can get health insurance through Anthem Blue Cross with a deductible of $250 per insured person, or $750 per family. The available student dental plan is $196 for the annual rate, covering Sept. 1, 2013 to Sept. 1, 2014. It i s also run through Anthem Blue Cross. Eligible enrollees for the domestic campus medical plan must meet certain requirements. "Regularly matriculated students who are enrolled in nine or more credit hours or registered graduate students are eligible to enroll. All eligible students must have paid fees to the University, and be actively attending classes on main campus," according to the Student Health'Insurance Domestic Medical Plan flyer available through the Student Health and Counseling Services link. If a student does not have insurance through a parent and can't afford the campus policies, they may qualify for Medi-Cal. "Covered California will help individuals and families determine whether they may get federal financial assistance that will cut the cost of health insurance or whether they qualify for free health insurance through MediCal," Covered CA said. Insurance plans are prohibited from placing lifetime limits on coverage. Other changes seem aimed to help students obtaining insurance through school plans. "If you are on a school plan and undergo a severe medical issue, you'll be covered no matter how high your medical costs are," USA Today reported. Changes to health care are numerous, but whether a family's breadwinner or an individual, it's clear the affordable care act means all students and adults must enroll in health insurance soon. �2 News Editor: Sarah Hughes cougarchron.news@gmail.com N EWS T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, F EB 1 9 , F rontiers in S cience Lectures to shecl light on cancer cause and treatments B Y RYAN DOWNS STAFF WRITER Every year, the science faculty on campus work together to provide an event series meant to spread the word about the latest innovations from scientific minds, and Spring 2014 is no different. For the upcoming semester, the Department of Physics is debuting a lecture series called "Frontiers in Science" in celebration of such innovations, which kicked off on Feb. 6 and will continue through May 1. Each lecture focuses on a different matter in the forefront of science, covering topics from disease, to food, to the Internet. An expert in that very field is scheduled to speak at each lecture. One vital subject the lectures will cover are discoveries related to treating cancer. . The series kicked off last week with "The Targeted Delivery of Chemotherapeutics to Tumors," with Dr. Dowdy Jackson, the Principal Scientist/Assistant Director at Agensys. Jackson has worked with companies at the forefront of the development of pharmaceuticals, meant to combat cancer. During the lecture, he described the process of enabling the body's antibodies to target cancerous cells within the body with impressive preju- dice; allowing the treatment to reach the harmful cells without damaging too many of the healthy ones. This treatment, which has recently begun adoption at medical centers, helps deal with some of the more harmful side effects of chemotherapy. Dr. Jackson was keen to remind that the company and its scientists are still working on a litany of projects using similar technology. "It's one of the exciting new breakthroughs for cancer patients," Jackson said. "There's two [treatments] already out there, but there's a whole lot we've been developing right now that are making their way through the pipeline." However, Jackson is just one of the many experts who can be expected this series, which continues on Feb. 27 with a lecture on "Social Media Helping Global Disaster Response (in 140 Characters or Less)" with Dr. Eric Frost, in Arts 240. The rest of the lectures will be held during UHour in Science Hall 2, Room 242. Tim i'ntwi*-^ ftetimmi « i » i s.

About the struggle to become a modern education model during a recession, Haynes said, "Could any of us have imagined how far, how fast we have come?" To illustrate CSUSM's growth, Haynes went through a list of what had doubled ' and increased at CSUSM in her time as President. The student population has increased from 6,000 to 12,000 according to Haynes. Buildings have doubled from 10 to 20. Academic Degree Offerings have increased from 27 to 58. Athletic teams have more than doubled. The Alumni has grown from 13,000 to 35,000. The employees at CSUSM has increased from 700 to 1,900.

Haynes' speech addressed goals CSUSM is working towards, including more campus space and the desire to improve educational rates in the region. "Riverside and San Diego counties are among a handful of counties in California that have experienced a moderate or even robust growth in high school graduates," Haynes said. "However, the statistics show that most of the growth is in populations not expected to go past high school, if that far. Statistics also indicate that California will be short one million college educated workers by 2025." Hayne's goal to increase educational rates in the area is tied closely for her with persons who are atriskof not graduating college. Haynes touched on the Ace dollars service program for former foster youths, as well as other vital causes. "We now educate more former foster youth per capita than any institution in the United States," Haynes said. Former foster children appear to face incredible odds and disadvantages that affect their ability to obtain a college education. "Surveys report that there there was no unanimous agreement to either entity. Out of 240 students, 201 participants answered that they were very or somewhat familiar with Army ROTC, whereas 39 participants were not at all familiar. 213 participants answered that they thought there should be an Army ROTC program on campus, 5 participants were opposed to it and 20 participants did not feel informedenough to answer. When asked about their familiarity with military science courses, 103 participants answered that they had heard of these classes, 70 participants had taken them in the past and 66 partici- pants were not familiar with military science courses at all. After receiving a brief definition of what military science courses are, 110 participants said that they would be interested in taking the courses, 56 participants answered that the classes were of no interest and 73 participants said they would want to learn more information about them before deciding. Finally, participants were asked if they would be opposed to other CSUSM students taking military science courses. 232 participants answered that they were not opposed, and seven participants answered that they were opposed. Two students chose to comment on the last question, one participant stating that they were neither for nor against military science courses because there had not been sufficient communication and information provided about the classes. "We have enough military all around the world. Plus, we're in the Marines' backyard. I hope CSUSM is one place the students can get away from military influence. As a veteran, I see this as propaganda," the other anonymous survey participant wrote. The Academic Senate is comprised of approximately 50 members, ranging from faculty to administrators to are 500,000 foster youth in the United States. Even though 70 percent of them desire a college experience, most age out of foster care only to find themselves illprepared and unsupported for success: 65 percent become homeless, 20 percent are arrested or incarcerated, and less than two percent graduate from college," CSUSM Steps Magazine stated, in an article referencing the scholarships. Students walking up Craven Drivé may have recently "noticed signs for a "Report to the Community" and/or emails from the Office of Communications. Many of these messages were an effort to inform them of the President's annual Report to the Community. Though the report has come and gone, it can still be viewed through watching the video versions available online in a 34 minute version and a five minute summary posted on the days after the speech. students. The diverse range of opinions about military science will be the crucial deciding factor in whether they will vote for or against bringing the courses to campus. "The Academic Senate at CSUSM will hold a discussion about ROTC on campus sometime this spring. We value, and will take into account, student opinion when we hold our discussion," Academic Senate Chair, Dr. Vivienne Bennett, said. "We will use the responses to this survey as a measure of student interest and support for or opposition to ROTC and/ or military science courses on campus." �Sports Editor: Justin Donner cougarchron.sports@gmaii.com Basketball playoff excitement nears Men's basketball looking t o capitalize on near perfect season. T here is one more home game for the Cougars this season. Photo montage of the February 11 game provided by Anne Hall. B Y JUSTIN DONNER SPORTS EDITOR The student union is the "poster child" of rapid growth for the CSUSM campus, and men's basketball is the same for the athletic department. It may be time for the administration to put combining the two into full throttle and build an arena on campus for.the team to play in for their home games. • The Cougars practice at a local Boys and Girls Club right up the street from campus. Their home games are not really at home, but they are around 12 miles away at MiraCosta College of Oceanside. This is a small facility with a large Spartan logo, the community college's mascot, painted at center court. At first, it sounds like the recipe for a mediocre program but that couldn't be further from the truth. With only three years of existence, the Cougars are currently No. 1 in the NAIA national rankings, own a 27-1 overall record and have the longest current winning streak in NAIA Division I with 18. When asked about a comparison with last year's season, Coach Saia was nothing but ecstatic . "Last year's team has a lot to be proud of. This year's team might be just a bit deeper, more mature in spots and bigger in size," Coach Saia said. The Cougar's recently played Bethesda at home and finished with a 93-54 victory. Not only were the starters one point, but as always, the bench made some noise. Of the 14 total 3-pointers for CSUSM, 6 of them came from Zack Zaragoza off the bench. Zaragoza also had a game high of 18 points. In regards to keeping his focus coming off the bench, "It's visualization and mental preparation for the game. I see myself making my shots and giving it my all out there," Zaragoza said. The seniors of the team will be recognized in an exhibition game against St. Katherine Saturday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. From there the Cougars have their eyes on a conference tournament in Georgia and a National Championship in Kansas City. "Kansas city is the top 32 team of the NAIA. You have to win 5 games in 6 or 7 days to win a national title. That's the golden prize and that's what we are shooting for," Coach Saia said. �T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, F EB 1 9 , S P O R T BfmBfrra™ 10:00 AM ggByB iMCfnri Hector Collazo working up a sweat on the CSUSM track and field.

Woodson is something many people like to do, not just for the awesome view, but also to get an epic photo on Potato Chip Rock for their Facebook or Instagram. Coming up the mountain from either side offers an enjoyable challenge, as well as rewarding scenery. One way to begin the trek is to start at Lake Poway. Parking is free during the winter, but the gates to the recreational area do close, so it's important to be mindful of the hours. More information about Lake Poway's seasonal hours and parking fees can be found at http://www.poway. org/Index .aspx?page= 1615. Restrooms and water fountains are located in the recreation area, but it is important to take water on the hike due to there being no facilities on the trails. Plenty of signs are positioned around the lake to show where the trails go and how to get to the Mt. Woodson trailhead. The trip con- I i ¡jjf mKl 11 ; jr ' -Jfr 11 V ÌM 11 Distribution photo by Rachel M sists of well-maintained dirt and rock trails. The beginning of the journey is relatively level around the lake until reaching the trailhead. As the incline of the trail increases, markers continue to dot the path to the summit to inform hikers which way to go, what trail they are on and how much farther they have t o go. Just before reaching the summit which has power towers scattered around it, Potato Chip Rock will be on the left. Another place to start the ascent is near the fire station off of the 67 highway. Parking on fire station property is prohibited but the shoulder is plenty wide enough to accommodate many cars, and there are lots of signs to point out where the trail begins. Gallego The route from this side of the mountain is steeper, but it is paved, shorter and it is even possible to do at night, especially when there is a full moon. There are no facilities at the base or along the route so it is critical to bring plenty of water. This trail meanders up and through many huge boulders that dwarf hikers and intrigue rock climbers. While navigating the switchbacks, it may even be possible to spot rock climbers tackling these giant boulders. Either trail offers plenty of spectacular views and a great workout. Furry friends are also invited to enjoy the toils. Mt. Woodson is a perfect day hike for anyone in need of fresh air and an adventure.

B Y SARAH HUGHES NEWS EDITOR Offbeat Brewery shares a close connection with CSUSM B Y JUSTIN DONNER SPORTS EDITOR Right up the streetfromthe university, Sarah Garcia, an alumni of CSUSM's undergraduate and graduate business programs, is painting a vision with her husband Tom Garcia. Between his experience in brewing and her business education, the two have created Offbeat Brewing Company, featuring a community atmosphere that students should take the time to visit and experience. While Tom gained experience as a professional brewer and brewing consultant, Sarah received her undergraduate degree in business from CSUSM and a MBA as well. As entrepreneurs, the classes taught across the entire business program proved to be valuable for the couple. "Having a solid, broad base of business knowledge is critical to anyone hoping to start their own business. Small business owners wear many hats and you will need the breadth of knowledge from those Foundation Classes," Sarah said. Sarah maintains relationships with many of the professors from the College of Business Administration, and she is currently creating projects with a couple professors for their classes. The steps Sarah has taken are especially motivating Delicious sushi roll and brew photographed by Justin Donner. to aspiring female entrepreneurs. "I couldn't be happier to see our female alumni blazing a trail just as successfully as our male graduates. As a female faculty member, it is particularly gratifying to see that the young women that were in our undergraduate and graduate programs just a few years ago are now successful entrepreneurs, creating jobs in the local community and giving back to the university," business professor, Dr. Rajnandini Pillai, said. Offbeat Brewery has a casual tasting room with picnic tables, a wall-to-wall mural done by a collection of artists and an open view of the brew house. For the 21 and over crowd at CSUSM, the brewery offers a wide collection of excellent craft brews and fun events. Some events gourmet trucks, nights, cal artists are featured every quarter and regular specials that benefit local nonprofit organizations.

"Invisible Threat," the latest installment in the talented teenagers' series of eyeopening documentaries, explores the variance of opinions that arise when parents contemplate the best way to take care of their children. They interviewed families, physicians and experts about what the positive effects of vaccination are, as well as discuss the myths of how harmful they are to children. "Invisible Threat" was created entirely by students, directed by Douglas Green, written by Camille Posard and narrated by Mark Huckaby. Like their past projects, it was funded by the Rotary Club, with no stipulations on their part . . *'It is done entirely by high school . students, without p oses i mportant any influence from adults. They did the research and interviewing, they wrote the script» and it's very exciting. After the screening, we will have speakers such as a couple physicians and someone with a biology background. We're^ really promoting health literacy," one of the coordinators of the event, Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, said. The young filmmakers have found controversial topics to be their niche in the documentary realm. Before "Invisible Threat," their first film was on the survivors of the Holocaust. This was followed by "One in Seven," which took a critical look at the fact that at the time of filming, one in seven people in North County had hunger insecurities. By the time of production, the figures had changed to one in five people and one in four children. Their next project will be about SeaWorld and killer whales. The screening of "One in Seven" at a film festival is what created the link between Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi q uestions and Lisa Posard, the mother of one of the filmmakers. De Ghetaldi called Posard to introduce herself, thus spiraling into the CSUSM Kinesiology Club's partnership with Donate Don't Dump and now the screening of "Invisible Threat" on campus. This is thanks to multiple partners with Kinesiology Club, Dr. de Ghetaldi citing Hugo Lecomte and the Rec Center as one of their biggest supporters for the event. Invisible Threat is being shown across the country, arid students have the opportunity to watch the film for themselves. It will be shown on campus from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4 in Clarke Grand Salon, Room 113. Students can also view the film from 5 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5 at Temeku Cinemas in Temecula. Temeku Cinemas is located at 26463 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. Both screenings are f ree. For more information, contact Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi at ldegheta@csusm .edu.

Fratelli's is the new restaurant that opened up in Restaurant Row of San Marcos. Fratelli's means "brothers" in Italian, and that's exactly what these two owners are. Brothers Brandon and Austin Lorbert started this Italian restaurant that emphasizes homemade ingredients made daily, and authentic Italian cuisine. The atmosphere has a family-oriented flair with a warm and rustic quality, including wooden beams that surround the restaurant . They had several rooms, including a bar, and even a private banquet room for those special occasions. The service is welcoming and effortlessly attentive, sure to make anyone feel at home. We started with their mouthwatering Burrata Caprese ($13.95), an heirloom tomato and burrata mozzarella caprese appetizer drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette glaze and garnished with micro basil that was earthy and fresh. We paired this with their house Chardonnay, which had hints of apple, oak and blossom to compliment the starter. Their wine has their own Fratelli label and is made from OneHope Winery. Next was their Classic Caesar salad ($5.95). Fratelli's makes their own homemade creamy tart dressing as well as garlic savory croutons. This salad was unlike any other, topped off with freshly grated parmingiano cheese. This was paired with the house Sauvignon Blanc that was sweet, bright and refreshing. Following was an heirloom tomato bisque ($3.95 for a cup, $5.95 for a bowl), a hearty soup full of onion and garlic flavor. To accompany the entrée we had the house Cabernet that was smooth and rich.

The term Muslim is often falsely associated to terrorism by many outside of the Islamic community. Many individuals form this misunderstanding from the constant anti-Islam media portrayals. Others simply do not know where to access correct in- formation to educate themselves on the matter, or are afraid to confront those of Muslim faith to ask them. Although there may be many reasons, ultimately the majority of American society is unaware of the true concepts and practices of Islam. "If anyone asked me about Islam, I would want them to know that it is a religion of peace. The word Islam itself means peace." The MSA also aims to form long lasting relationships and provide support for its members, which includes Muslims and individuals of other faiths. Since the association's es- tablishment a few years ago, the MSA continues to grow. The MSA has also become active in partaking in community service events, on campus meetings, other fun events, as well as educational events in which acclaimed scholars are invited to share their insight on intriguing topics. Individuals interested in learning more about Islam, meeting people of the Islamic faith or attending one of our various events should visit http://www.csusm.edu/ orgs/muslimstudentassociation.html or send us an email at msa.csusm@gmail.com. If you want t o know more about InterVarsity, when and where we meet, o r more about our Spring Break trip, check out the website ivsanmarcos.org. InterVarsity connects campus through community and spirituality B Y N OELLE FRIEDBERG SENIOR STAFF WRITER InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is an international organization that focuses on campus ministry with vision "to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed and world changers developed." A collection of athletes, Greeks, international students and people just trying to graduate, who all come together with this one shared desire: to know Jesus and to make Him known. My first experience with InterVarsity was two years ago. As a new student, it is often just easier to go to class and then leave campus rather than try to make new friends. That is where InterVarsity came in. I started going to their events and was instantly amazed by how loving and encouraging the community is. They made me feel so welcome that I just had to stick around. One of the best things about being a part of InterVarsity is that every spring break they do this thing called Mark Camp. It's a week on Catalina Island, where members spend time going through the Bible and going deeper into the gospel of Jesus through the book of Mark. Some of my fondest memories of college and lasting friendships have been made there. Every Wednesday they have a weekly meeting called Large Group where a speaker shares a message. They also have various Bible studies on campus throughout the week. The Bible studies really focus on being a place of encouragement, and are a great place to make new friends and connect to campus life. ¡jg jpg 11 * Interested in running for a Representative or Executive position on the Board of Directors?

Truth about Twitter Company tax breaks raise alarm B Y L A U R E N H AMMOND OPINION EDITOR . Many students at CSUSM probably have a Twitter account, but likely are unaware of the company's questionable history. Twitter was first formed in 2006. Since its debut and coining of the legendary "Tweet," the social networking site has seen a rapidly growing user base. As of late 2013, the company has been estimated to be worth 31 billion dollars. Since its opening, Twitter headquarters -has been located in San Francisco, CA. In 2011, the company was threatening to move locations but was offered a six-year payroll tax break to maintain its California residency. More recently, the city agreed to stop taxing Twitter stock options. Calcu" lations suggest that since the initiation of the company's tax breaks, Twitter has saved over 50 million dollars. Twitter currently resides in San Francisco's Mid-Market area. Alongside the "Twitter Tax Break," the city has also included tax incentives to any other companies that moved to Mid-Market, a preA viously undeveloped area, and has seen tremendous corporate growth. Much of the money Twitter has saved due to tax incentives could have gone towards improving the city's public transportation, health, education and more. Aside from major losses in city revenue, Twitter has had absolutely no involvement in giv- > o r t e s t i n g in, community. Twitter, along with fifteen other companies residing in the Mid-Market area, has also been affecting neighboring residential communities. The technical industries within the Mid-Market area have aided in an increase of property valuer With the high request for office space, many residential property owners have also been forced to sell, causing a large number of home evictions, Several activist groups including South of Market Community Action Network, Senior and Disability Action, Eviction Free San Francisco and the San Francisco Housing Rights Commrttee have joined forces with local workers and residents tofightback. A number of protests have taken place outside of the Twitter headquarters and throughout the Mid-Market area to express outrage for the companies' tax breaks. It is important that social networking users understand the implications associated to their Twitter memberships. Until Twitter realizes the injustice of their actions, users are unconsciously participating in the corporate conglomerate's indifference to the general public. This is not an uncommon practice for multi-billion dollar corporations to take advantage of lower-income demographics. Although this does not directly affect CSUSM students, it does harm communities similar to ours and that is something to consider.

The campus library released the Uterus R ag Project on Feb. 10 and will remain until May 20. This installation, provided by Terilynn Quick, is a compilation of small flags that are adorned with uterus made by people from all over the nation. So much detail in each piece. The space was like a ghost town. I was in awe at the ideas shared by artists who addressed the issues behind women's health and the blessings that exist with being a woman and having the ability to conceive. While finding myself impressed and awe struck, I noticed that I was being watched. Passer by's were laughing at me for admiring the artists work. Others appeared to avoid the display, as if they would catch some kind of disease if they came too close. A friend of mine decided to draw attention to passers by and lured individuals to come and consider the artwork. Once one person started admiring Terilynn's presentation, more and more lipsticks having dangerous amounts of lead in them. Even the supposedly natural mineral-based makeups contain small particles of mica that we can inhale, which Forbes online magazine puts into perspective by pointing out that construction workers have to wear masks when dealing with mica. While women have more products that expose them to these dangerous chemicals, men aren't safe from the danger. Aftershave, cologne, shaving cream and shampoos are just a few of the items that men use that fall under the same category as all of the other beauty products. These products contain as many chemicals as the products women use and are regulated in the same way, putting men at as much risk as women, I think that it is wrong that there are no regulations within the beauty industry, The food that we eat has regulations placed on it, so why not the items that we cover our skin with? I believe that we should have the right to know exactly what is in the products we use. I also think that cosmetic companies should strive to eliminate as many of these chemicals from their products as possible in order to provide their loyal customers with healthier products, If you want to check the ingredients and the risk fac- .. tors associated with the products you use, a good place to start is the Skin Deep Database, http://www.ewg. org/skindeep/, created by the Environmental Working Group. That is just one small step towards knowing your products better so you can make an informed decision on whether to continue using that product, people began finding interest. Once the pieces were noticed, interest was struck and people began admiring all of the display. "The art work is amazing," student, Erin Taylor, said. This is a presentation that truly touches the core of existence. Take a moment to observe and appreciate the artistry and creativeness. �A &E A & E Editors Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , F E B 1 9 , C ougar S huffle: V alentine's D ay A f t e r m a t h B y Z ach S chazenbach 11 'Man of Tai Chi' delivers B Y R YAN DOWNS STAFF W RITER I t's a f ew d ays a fter V alentine's D ay, b ut t here a re s ome s till f eeling a ffects f rom t he h oliday.

T ime" by I magine D ragons One of the better things about Netflix is its showcase not only of westernfilms,but also foreign films. This allows martial arts movies that normally would go straightto-DVD, like "Ip Man" or "The Raid: Redemption," to become surprise cult hits. Standing in the middle of these, in a bold attempt to merge both western and international audiences alike, is "Man of Tai Chi ." It is primarily a Chinese martial arts film. However, it features American star Keanu Reeves in two uncommon roles; the villain and, for the first time in his career, the director. The story attempts to tell a martial arts legend in a contemporary setting. It focuses the story on Tiger Chen (Chen Hu in his film debut), a young practitioner of Lin Kong Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese method of exercise and meditation. However Tiger comes to learn that this peaceful art can be applied in combat as well. It is stunningly effective, even though it strays from the art's purpose. Nonetheless, it is not long before Tiger attracts the attention of Donaka Mark (Reeves), the head of an underground fightingring.He sees Tiger's potential and tempts him with money and fame. Tiger needs it to save his master's temple from demolition. It is not long before Tiger's involvement with the fighting ring begins to corrupt his character. Worse still, it becomes clear that Mark is conditioning him into something deadlier than just another fighter. It may be too late for him to escape. For the most part, the film works for the same reason Keanu Reeves works. I t's, simple, cool and strangely likeable. On the other hand, like the actor, it tends to get awkward when it tries too hard and there are some embarrassingly silly moments. However, Reeves is understated as ever both in front of, and behind, the camera. Coupled with some awesome fight choreography from Hollywood legend Yuen Wo Ping, the end result is a straightforward but enjoyable action flick. 3/5 Cougar Paws! 'Friday Night Lights', 'The League' keep gridiron going during off-season B Y AMANDA LENOX FEATURES EDITOR The first few Sundays after the Super Bowl are always the hardest for football fans. However, Netflix has some football themed shows* to help fill up your time while you wait for the next season to start. One show I highly recommend is the drama series Friday Night Lights. The show focuses on head coach Eric Taylor (played by Kyle Chandler) as he helps lead the high school football team, the Dillon Panthers, to the Texas State Championship. Viewers might forget they aren't watching a real football game. You wait in anxiety to see if the team makes the play and cheer in excitement for a touchdown. With an ensemble cast, the show also looks at the individual players as their lives are woven together both on and off the field. The sweet yet insecure Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) struggles with balancing being the starting quarterback and trying to date the coach's daughter (Aimee Teegarden). Fullback Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) is the bad-boy character who tries to prove he is more than a stereotype. Throughout the series, the players deal with issues including steroid use and college recruitment. Friday Night Lights is a critically acclaimed series with two Primetime Emmy wins, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kyle Chandler) and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. It has 76 episodes within five seasons available on Netflix. The second season is the only lackluster season because of its multiple dull storylines. Recommended episodes include: "Mud Bowl" in Season I , "There Goes the Neighborhood" in Season 2, "The Son" in Season 4 and "Always" in Season 5. One of the best parts of football is the way it can bring together a community, whether you are tailgating at a stadium or watching the game with family and friends. Friday Night Lights will remind you of that feel- ing and will prepare you for the next football season. I give Friday Night Lights a 4.5/5 rating. Another football-themed show to watch is the comedy series The League. The show follows friends, Pete Eckhart (played by Mark Duplass), Rodney Ruxin (Nick Kroll), Andre Nowzick (Paul Scheer) and Kevin MacArthur (Stephen Rannazzisi). Also, Kevin's brother, Taco (Jon Lajoie) and wife, Jenny (Katie Aselton) as they all play each other in their fantasy football league. The show has a raunchy style of comedy as the friends argue over things like draft picks and trades. The series is also abundant with notable NFL guest stars, including San Diego Chargers player Antonio Gates in Season 1 episode "Mr. McGibblets." There are currently 45 episodes within four seasons available on Netflix. Recommended episodes include: "The Shiva Bowl" in Season 1 and "The Marathon" in Season 2 .1 give The League a 3.5/5 rating. 11 «»I A R EMINDER T HE D REAM A C T A PPLICATION D EADLINE F OR A B540 X S TUDENTS/UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS I S MARCH 2ND.

Theodore Twombly is in love with his operating system named Samantha, essentially an evolved Siri. Thefilmdefinitely approaches the dramatic question, "Could love have no boundaries?" There are countless moments in which Theodore and Samantha demonstrate character development in regards to their relationship, a unique characteristic of this fascinating movie. B Y K ATIE GARNER o STAFF WRITER The film also boasts a cast of well-known actors. Joaquin Phoenix play s Theodore and Scarlett Johansson plays the voice of Samantha. Rooney Mara plays Theodore's ex-wife Catherine and Amy Adams plays Theodore's friend Amy. The "Her" soundtrack especially adds sentiment to the film.

Religions follow humanity wherever we go. America contains some of most divergent beliefs and cultural systems in the world. Starting with tales told by Native Americans, mythologies have poured into America via the mass migration from settlers worldwide. What if every one of these old gods were alive and struggling to survive in this country? Neil Gaiman asks this question in his novel, "American Gods." The story follows the reticent Shadow, an ex-con who upon his release from prison finds that his wife has died. Alone and without a home, Shadow meets Mr. Wednesday, a mysterious con-man who offers Shadow a job as his bodyguard. Soon Shadow's world turns upside down as he discovers that all Gods not only exist, but exist amongst humans and are preparing for war. The Old Gods are clashing with the New Gods, which in America are represented by the various deities of Media, ^Technology and the Black Hats. Mr. Wednesday, who reveals himself early on as an incarnation of Odin, recruits Shadow to rally the Old Gods against the New Gods. But in a country where beliefs are shrinking every day, can Shadow help these Old Gods survive? "American Gods" is a powerful, enchanting story etched with folklore in every page. Lovers of fantasy fiction will adore this novel tremendously. This book is ripe with myths from cultures all over the world-Neil Gaiman weaves a poignant, but humorous* tale that starts off at a slow pace that soon dives right into a journey that will you keep you entertained and thoughtful. "American Gods" has won multiple prestigious awards, including the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The FBI investigation has been ongoing since Weaver's on-campus arrest on March 15,2012. According to the FBI report, Weaver was attempting to rig the 2012 ASI elections and win the office of president, and he stole 740 student identifications in the scheme. He was charged this month with four counts of fraud and released on $20,000 bail pending trial. Further research into the case showed that Weaver had allegedly been planning to run for ASI office as early as July 2011. According to the report, he sent a request t o ASI for the budget and salary rates for ASI student officers — who earn an annual salary ranging from $ 1,000 to $8,000. The ASI budget is $300,000. FBI investigators found a PowerPoint presentation on Weaver's computer that proposed that he and his Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity brothers (a fraternity banned from CSUSM) run on a slate to obtain five ASI positions. The presentation suggested that Weaver run for president and his fraternity brothers run for vice president positions. According to the investigation, the method Weaver used to fraudulently access information and cast votes involved plugging keylogging devices into 19 university computers in January and February of 2012 to obtain students' logins and passwords. He kept the information on 740 students in multiple Excel spreadsheets on his computer, one of the largest files was titled "Fu** ASI .alpha." Access to campus accounts also gives access to one's account network-based university services which include email accounts and other private information.

Sarah Do job was an 'aggressive, primitive act' discusses how to make a difference at school B Y COUGAR CHRONICLE STAFF MEMBERS A local Internet security expert praised CSUSM's detective work that brought down an election-rigging scheme on campus last spring. But the case against the ex-student charged with the crime shows how vulnerable computers—and their users—can be to cybercrime. On Feb. 8, Matt Weaver was charged in federal court with two counts of wire fraud, one count of access device fraud and one count of unauthorized access to a computer, for allegedly attempting to rig the votes in the ASI election in March 2012. The criminal complaint said that Weaver, who was running for the office of ASI president, purchased and installed up to 15 keylogging devices on 19 on-campus computers in order to gather the username and passwords of 740 students (which he allegedly used to cast votes for himself). Chris Gruenwald, owner of Bayside Networks in Sorrento Valley, described the ASI election-hacking scheme as "an aggressive, primitive act" that is likely to have severe consequences if Weaver is found guilty. "He sounds like a young wise guy who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room," Gruenwald said, adding that if Weaver is found guilty of the crimes, then: "he's ruined his life and thrown away a good chance at an education for something he didn't really think through." Gruenwald described keylogger hacking as a relatively unsophisticated form of cybercrime. t KeyGrabber USB Keylogger $44.99 mm B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E EDITOR Markstein Hall, which opened in 2006, quickly beTbe KeyGwbber USB Mitwar* keytegget 2L x 28 comes in 2 « t w oflermg v ttw 8 M8 <6 ma came the campus' official miffionfeeystofees,or « è 4.080 pages «? vr Sn u building for the College of text ! er 2 G8 (2 Mtjon keystrokes o» 1 S* motten £»ge» oftexu Superfestdate Business Administration Mtrittalfeachievedfryswitching iato F toh Driv« RMHÍetaftfownto&dCompterety (CoBA).

Do has learned that to make a change you must share your opinions with others because ultimately the board of directors is on campus to represent the students. Last year's Student at Large Representatives started a survey they would give out to students to understand the concerns they had as a student body. This process has been continued this year adding a new questions such as "If you could ask President Haynes something, what would it be?" The surveys are then given to ASI President Scott Silvieria to review during monthly meetings. * Do's advice for anyone wanting to run for CoBA Representative is "talk to students before running so you have a plan of what you want to accomplish and goals. If you don't then people might be skeptical. Get involved in CoBA because they appreciate students that are involved."

White held a press conference from his office in Long Beach, where students had the opportunity to voice their questions and concerns for future changes in the CSU system. On Feb. 6, many of the topics discussed were policy issues for the CSU such as the current CSU budget, online education (something that White has advocated for) and the quality of education one expects to obtain while attending a C SU.

Students throughout the CSU last fall took advantage of the 60 percent or more discounts they received from renting though CSU Rent Digital than competitive other rental websites. As the cost of tuition Continues to rise, so does the cost for textbooks. CSU Rent Digital is one of thè many aspects of Affordable Learning Solutions initiative, a program beginning in 2010, that aims in offering affordable course materials to students as well as greater access to lower cost academic material for faculty among the 23 CSU campuses. CSU Rent Digital incorporated the partnership of CSU with Cengage Learning, Coursesmart® and Follett, which was announced in February 2012. It is a way for students to rent eTextbooks at lower prices in a system-wide digital textbook rental program to help re lieve financial burden. Since his replacement of Chancellor Reed, White has conveyed his passion for students and respecting the financial burden CSU students face while attempting to obtain their Bachelors and Masters degrees.

This is the California State University and we should never lose track of that." stalled on campus computers but declined to describe how. The university had no comment on the charges Weaver is facing but it did confirm that spring of 2012 was Weaver's last semester at CSUSM. During the 2012 election, running on a slate was against the election rules. In October of last year, the ASI Board of Directors voted to allow candidates to run on a slate with a limited collective budget. "We changed the rules to allow candidates to run on slates is because it made the most sense to the board.

His nose is keeping us out of danger: Sergeant Derouin and his vivacious K-9 BY JESSIE GAMBRELL O PINION E DITOR In addition to this campus being the No. 1 safest four year university in California according to Stateuniversity. com, we are also the home of our own bomb-sniffing EOD K-9, Vince. Vince was brought to our campus three years ago by Sgt. Raymond Derouin, who had a hunch to bring an Explosive Ordinance Detection (EOD) K-9 on campus to protect. students from harm. Though Vince has not yet encountered a real bomb, they have been called in on several accounts of potential (but false) threats. "Dogs are smart, he loves it here, he knows the campus very much, and especially loves the parking structure where he gets to play and twice a day we go to search the campus. He is very approachable and' friendly," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is an 88 lbs., 6-yearold field Labrador who was a rescue from Idaho, set to be put down, when someone had the idea to test him for police Kr9 skills and he passed. After discovering him to have heart-worms , he was almost going to be put down again, but was successfully treated and cured of his health threat. David Dorn of K-9 S.T.A.C. (Specialized Training And Consultant) from San Francisco took Vince in and trained him for police work. Sgt. Derouin, who has been here since 2007 (previously spent eight years as a Riverside sheriff) proposed to the UPD the importance of having an EOD K-9 on a college campus. , "I wrote the program for Vince in 2009, Vince is our first K -9.1 wrote out the need for a K-9, what I articulated in my PowerPoint was that campuses are a target. You have to add another level of safety," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is a "passive-alert" police dog, meaning that he will sit down when he finds the bomb, and gets repeated training four to five times a day with a sample bombsniffing exercise to keep his nose sharp. He is also a "single-purpose" police dog,. meaning that his only purpose is to detect smells, not control (military dogs). "Everyone loves him, he [Vince] was on TV at a Charger's game once and was even featured on the front page of the North County Times. He was even in a competition in Modesto County and won first place for the fastest finding time. We. get a fair amount of brand recognition," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is most likely going to be retiring next year due to a bad (but attended to) case of hip dysplasia that led to the need of finding a smaller car for him to get into, given that he must jump in and out the car many times a day. They hope to find a replacement or two once Vince goes into retirement. "We don't want to run him into the ground, we want him to have a comfortable retire- . ment. He isn't property; he is more like a human to us He has been a great asset and everyone loves him," Sgt. Derouin said.

After the Feb. 8 game vs Chapman was delayed due to weather, the game was rescheduled to Monday Feb. 11. The delay wasn't enough to stop them from exerting their will on visiting Chapman, beating them 3-0 to improve to 4-0 on the season. Pitcher James Dykstra fueled the win, pitching seven innings of nearly flawless baseball, only allowing three hits, while striking out nine batters and walking none. Brandon Bentson got the cougars ahead early and gave Dykstra an early lead to work with when he belted a single to right field to bring around Mike Guadagnini for the score. The Cougars would add two more runs in the game but would only need the one run to win, as Dykstra, Frank Charlton and Hunter Brown all combined to complete the shut-out. On Feb. 12, Chapman would return and face the Cougars once again and would put forth a better fight. Just like the first game, Brandon Bentson got the Cougars off to an early lead in thefirstinning with a right field single to bring in Tyler Bernard. Chapman would answer back in the third inning with a run of its own, to tie it up against starting pitcher Steve Messner. In the bottom of the inning, Kenny Belzer would put the Cougars up again with a 2 RBI single up the middle, and would add another run in the inning to go up 4-1. The game would continue as a back and forth affair as Chapman scored 3 runs of its own to tie the game in the next two innings. With the game tied up 5-5 in the seventh inning, Belzer would once again come up with runners on base and give the Cougars the winning run. After an error from the left fielder, Belzer would bring around two more scores , to put the cougars up 7-5. The cougars would later go on to win 9-5 and improve to 5-0 on the season. "5-0 is a real good start for us, we played well the previous week against Concordia, and took a step back after the rain delay but important thing is we won the game," Head Coach Dennis Pugh said. "February is our month to do well in, March and April are going to get real tough for us." On Friday, Feb. 15, Bethesda came to town for a double header and the cougars wasted no time making a statement. Six different pitchers made CSUSM history and combined to pitch the first no-hitter in the programs history. Pitchers Mike Scaramella, Kevin Hilton, Addison Domingo, Jackson Gaskins, Tony Guerra and Matt Bataska all surrendered no hits to Bethesda batters. Not to be outdone by the pitching staff, the offense of the team scored an astounding 9 runs in a 9-0 win. The Cougar offense soared thanks to Kenny Belzer who once again got the game started with a first inning 2-run home-run and ended the day with 3 RBIs. Mike Guadagnini also contributed to the success, going 2-3 with an RBI and 2 runs. The second game of the doubleheader was more of a pitchers duel as both offenses struggled to bring any runs across the plate, going 3 and out for the majority of the game until the sixthvand final at bats for the cougar offense. Tyler Bernard would score off a passed ball on the catch-. er to put the cougars ahead 1-0 going into the game's final frame when Frank Charlton would close the door for the win to improve to 7-0 on the season. "Pitching was outstanding, it's great to be off to a 7-0 start, these were the games we were, losing last season," coach Pugh said. "Pitchers are great at getting ahead in the count early and the hitting will get better as the weather gets warmer." Due to publication time, we were unable to report on the Feb. 19 game vs Biola. cougarchron.sports@gmail.com I T HE H E A R T B EAT: Healthy eating, is cost truly an obstacle? B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF WRITER A common reason why many Americans fail to eat healthy is because it "costs too much." Fortunately, healthy foods can be as inexpensive as unhealthy foods. For a fam ily of four to eat dinner at McDonald's, the total cost should they order Big Mac meals will be around $20 to $25. At the grocery store, to feed the same family of four free range organic chicken, red peppers and squash and a sweet potato, you're going to spend roughly the same price, if not less. Comparing the nutritional information per meal at McDonald's with a soda and fries is going to surpass 1000 calories and 50 grams of fat. The meal at the grocery store is unquestionably healthier, amounting to less than 500 calories and adequate amounts of essential vitamins and nutrients. Although the homecooked meal is around the same price range as McDonald's and far healthier, fast food is always going to be easier and arguably cheaper, especially for under-educated individuals. Without an understanding of how to eat healthy, simply comparing the cost of healthy food with fast food and junk food is pointless. Healthy affordable foods include potatoes, beans and lentils, nonfat Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, canned tuna, eggs, tofu, spinach, oats, and frozen vegetables, among many others. Sadly, many people prefer fast food because of its convenience, regardless of associated risks. To have to go to the grocery store and cook dinner seems like a tedious task. Just think, when you make that trip to the grocery store, you are burning far more calories than sitting in the drive-thru at McDonald's. Furthermore, numerous studies reveal that the average family in the U.S. spends less than an hour together per day. Importantly, this statistic can be increased dramatically if you plan healthy dinners together on a nightly basis. If you go to the grocery store and compare fruits and vegetables to unhealthy foods based on portion size, the fruits and veggies are lower in price overall relative to unhealthy foods. Educating yourself about portion sizes will certainly help you save money when eating healthy. Buying produce that is in-season will help tackle these price issues. If the cost is the main reason people fail to eat healthy, their justification, is inaccurate: according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, obesity raises annual medical costs by roughly $2,800 per person. Even if you spent $200 more per month to eat healthy, you would still be saving money by preventing obesity. In addition, recent studies have shown that the annual cost of obesity in thé U.S. is $190 billion, or roughly 20 percent of total healthcare expenditures. It is no question that cutting out fast food and junk food will help prevent obesity-related medical expenses. Yes, these costs of eating unhealthy are often deferred until later; however, this is exactly the point. A Big-Mac meal at McDonald's may be cheaper initially relative to organic whole foods, but the costs associated with unhealthy eating later in life certainly aren't worth it. The cost of unhealthy food isn't just the price tag. Athlete spotlight: Cortney Allen S T A R T O U T O N T OP. SENIOR STAFF WRITER START RAISING T HE B AR START COMMANDING ATTENTION STAI?!

The quaint café is tucked away next to the IHOP and offers some of the best atmosphere found on San Marcos's own Restaurant Row. The Coffee House is primarily a more stylish alternative to Starbucks and any of the other more mundane cafes in the area, According to the website, approximately 100 different drinks are offered, including coffee, tea and smoothies. Coffee, depending on size, usually goes from $1.60 for a small and $2 for a large, while the tea is generally under $2 Smoothies are around $4, and most of the Espressos cost around $3.25. There's also a rich selection of food, perfect for any time of the day, including sandwiches and wraps, hot soup, salads and even pizza. What truly sets The Coffee House apart from other cafes is the quirky atmosphere. The interior has a sort of French design, and every table, chair what really caught my attention," Bovee said.

CSUSM's CWCW brings together writers and literature enthusiasts every Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m. in room 303 of Markstein Hall. The primary idea behind the CWCW is for students to get together and share and receive feedback on creatively written stories, poems and other works that they have created. Members are allotted several minutes to respond to the work with helpful and creative criticism. Ä UNIVERSITY God First Since 1899 "They describe in helpful, not insulting, terms what might be holding the piece back," CWCW President Jessica Mulqueen said. "Whenever possible, we describe the problem in terms of how it can be fixed and offer specific suggestions." The CWCW is not limited to only Literature and Writing majors and does not require students to bring work to share. If you don't have time to join, or you're shy, the CWCW also accepts written works online, by submitting them to csusmsubmissiona@ gmail.com.This opportunity gives students a chance to be published in a weekly chapbook, or a magazine every semester. These publications are often celebrated with a Photo by Ryan Downs reader's series, where the writers present their work to an audience. Regardless of whether you write short stories, full novels or even plays, bring your work to a meeting and seewhat CSUSM's fellow writers think. ASPs R ed Dress Gala puts the heart back into February B Y RYAN DOWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER AZUSA PACIFIC is the most unconditionally giving person I have ever met in my life. She is so dedicated, it's like her mission is to help you. I had her as a professor for two and a half years. Her work and the kind of person she is makes me want to follow in her footsteps," Bovee said. Bovee hopes to honor Dr. Ghetaldi's legacy by continuing his work in the medical field. One of his main goals for the future is to become a professor that teaches anatomy, physics, health or another sciencebased course. He also hopes to start a research project on campus hunger and continue his work helping students by hbsting more food drives and J spreading more information about healthy living.

Although ASI never needs an excuse to have f un for a good cause, this is probably why the Red Dress Gala, benefitting heart disease, seems fitting t o hold this month. ASI will host the Red Dress Gala on Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. at the Clarke Grand Salon. The proceeds will be going to the American Heart Association, while providing information to students about heart disease and how they can help. The attire will be semi-formal, and it is requested that, consistent with the name of the event, guests arrive in red to show support. Women are also encouraged to wear dresses.

However, it was not scheduled for her to lip-sync the anthem. It is not confirmed the reason why; Beyonce pre-recorded the performance last minute. Good news, her performance during the Super Bowl halftime show showcased her ultimate diva alter-ego and why I think she i s the best superstar of this generation. I remember first hearing Beyonce in the nineties with the all-female R&B group, 'Destiny's Child' (as most of us have) in middle school. Honestly, I was too obsessed with Hilary Duff (guilty) and Lindsay Lohan (remember when she barely could sing?) to focus my attention to their music. But I am proud to say that my ear has learned to appreciate good music. Their album "Destiny Fulfilled" really caught my attention even though it was the last album the group made together, I still followed Beyonce's solo career (again, as most of us did). Since leaving 'Destiny's Child', she has won 14 Grammy's and seven Billboard Music awards. She has also become one of the most influential musicians of all time, and has now established herself as an actress most known for her work in the film adaptation of "Dreamgirls" and showing her goofy side in "Austin Powers in Goldmember." I really don't need to list of all her accomplishments to explain what an amazing and talented person Beyonce is, but it doesn't hurt to refresh people's' minds. Her talent doesn't just speak wonders but her personality and charisma is what makes people all over the world love her. She always appears with such class, grace and respect for herself and those around her. Let's not forget her show of compassion when Kayne West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Awards in 2009 and Beyonce called her back up onstage to finish properly. I don't know many artists that would do that. Simply put, Beyonce can get away with lip-syncing because we know her talent is genuine. She sells out concert venues in minutes and her albums sky rocket to the top on iTunes. Honestly, it seems this woman can do no wrong (even by naming her baby "Blue Ivy"). Beyonce is just barely over thirty and has a legacy that will last for generations. Lauren Toomes, chemistry major: Turn on t he fireplace, snuggle up in a blanket and read a good book.

The Cougar Chronicle editors discuss their opinions of an on campus gym. Having a gym on campus makes motivating myself to go work out a lot easier. Since I live at The Quad, it is great to have such a close proximity where I can walk to and from: The fact that all students have access to it helps because my roommates and I often go together, so it allows for working out to be a social thing rather than just another chore. Features Editor Katlin Sweeney I have been working out at the Clarke gym for the past year and love it. Not only do I take advantage of the spinning bike and ab cruncher machines, but I also love the Ashtanga yoga that the Clarke provides. I enjoy it when it is time to go to the Clarke to do my workout, especially because it is free. If I were to do the same workout out in town it would cost me a pretty penny. Plus it's conveniently on campus for us students to take advantage of anytime we feel so inclined. Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell I like the Clarke because they always have awesome events and cool classes going on like Zumba. It's just a nice place to go to workout with friends. I love their treadmills too because you can plug in your iPod and watch Netflix or Hulu Plus on it. Plus, its free to students! It's a great deal. A & E Editor Juliana Stumpp I enjoy the Clarke because of its convenience in my daily schedule. It is open even during my off times and has the equipment necessary for a good, full enough workout. I always leave feeling accomplished and proud of my overall efforts. Copy E ditor Keandre Williams-Chambers is often referred to as CSU Stair Master.

It's all the rage right now, which makes sense since our society seems to have tendencies to go out and do things that may not be all that moral or right. They go out and do these things just because they think that it will be the only chance they've got to live life the way they want to. Yes, we are only on earth for a "short" time, which can justify doing fun things or taking up once-inlifetime opportunities. However, being that we only "live once," this does not mean that we should go out and do things that would otherwise be illegal or immoral. And as I have already seen, salesmen have already started to use it against us. I saw an ad the other day that showed a pair of sassy high Join our staff! heels saying, "Buy these heels! Y OLO!" * Even your friends can dangerously use it against you. For example, someone could say, "come drinking with us, YOLO" or "YOLO, why not smoke a joint with us?" See what I mean? People who are vulnerable to this mindset can get caught up in some nasty stuff very quickly. body has passed from this earth. According to Catholic belief, there are three places where your soul can go after death; Heaven, the ultimate goal and life purpose; Purgatory, a place of judgment for those who are not quite worthy of Heaven yet; and Hell, the place where all who reject God and accept Satan go. Keeping this in mind, this life becomes rather important as far as our actions and reactions go. If our soul's final destination weighs completely on what we do o n earth, wouldn't we think twice before "taking this" or "doing that." Wouldn't we consider how could affect our m()rtal being?

FEATURES EDITOR Father Gregory Boyle is a name that has been floating around campus the past several weeks. Boyle, a Jesuit Catholic priest, is known for his dedication to the service of the lost homeboys and homegirls of East Los Angeles County through his Homeboy Industries organization establish in 1992. On Monday, Feb. 11, Boyle came to speak to a sold-out crowd of 1,400 people in parking lot "N," under a large event tent. More than 500 CSUSM students and faculty members attended the event to hear the inspiring stories from Father Boyle and to learn from his compassion and humbleness. Father Boyle spent the night telling stories of the homeboys and homegirls that pulled at heartstrings. People everywhere were grabbing for tissues in response to the tragic misfortune and the touching stories of healing and retribution shown to them by Father Boyle and his colleagues.

THE SHUJihLE B Y K ARLA R EYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER Monday mornings are always a challenge, especially during the winter. So to make these d readed mornings a little more pleasant, this shuffle presents five tracks that will help get over your monday-morning-blues. " Cough Syrup" b y Young the Giant Young the Giant is comprised of five musicians with diverse background, all from the neighboring city of Irvine, California, with a b and name purposely chosen to evoke curiosity. Cough Syrup was number three in the Top 100 Billboard Alternative Songs. Being very uplifting a nd sunny, I guarantee you will want to look up the lyrics to sing along. "Thrift Shop" b y Macklemore Some might find this song vexing, but I think it's genuinely c atchy. It makes fun of those who spend too much money on a shirt a nd e nded up dressing the same as everyone else, among similar situations. The quirky video is a combination of "The Fresh Prince" a nd modern hipster, all guided by a sax sample. Macklemore has a range of tracks, some talking about same-sex marriage a nd his struggle with addiction in his album "The Heist." " My Body" b y Young the Giant There is a reason Young the Giant is listed twice, a nd that is b ecause they are worth listening to. "My Body" w as written a nd performed exactly for that purpose, to j am out a nd get pumped. Some argue that Sameer G adhia (vocalist) is talking about i ce cream, but I personally think he is referring to the Monday mornings in which your body is immobile a nd glued to the bed. "Ho Hey" b y The Lumineers Although the b and left this years Grammys empty handed, they h ave earned a spot on our iPods. It is the first single from their trending self-titled album. This folkrock song is so genuinely refreshing that it will guarantee a smile on your f ace for the rest of the day. It has b een featured in numerous commercials in the U.S a nd even in the U.K. "Drunk" b y Ed Sheeran • The title basically says it all. It is a n anthem to remember (or not) the past weekend as you walk into your GES or business law class with a much n eeded Starbucks drink in hand. Many know Ed Sheeran from the chart-topping "The A Team," a nd you c an recognize his mellow yet intoxicating v oice alongside a n at-ease b eat in this song. Hitting the shelves Feb. 26 ä mm mm ISlACTffi1 "The Master" Starring the talented Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master" focuses on the story of Freddie Quell (Phoenix), a World War II naval veteran struggling through his PTSD a nd his inability to fit into the world. By a stroke of luck, he stumbles upon Lancaster Dodd (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a n organization known as The Cause. As Quell steadily submerges himself deeper within the group's system, his own philosophy a nd lifestyle choices are challenged, a nd his life is forever c hanged. "Zion" b y Hiiisong United As the third studio album by the highly popular Hiiisong United, "Zion" contains the fuses the elements of modern rock a nd contemporary Christian music to reinvent not only the modern worship music, but also recreate their sound. Such songs included in this album will b e "Relentless" a nd "Oceans," songs that will undoubtedly draw in new listeners for their exquisite elements of rock, worship, a nd e ven subtle modern pop. BYTRICIAALCID STAFF WRITER "How to Survive a Plague" Based on a powerful true story, "How to Survive a Plague" is the inspirational documentary tracking the stories of young men a nd women who fought against the tide of AIDS prejudice to lay down the first steps to AIDS awareness a nd treatment.

This underdog group of grassroot activists battled against highrisksto gain revolutionary medication to treat a n epidemic no other group would support, changing the world as w e know it today.

With mixtures of Lloyd's pensive flutes a nd Moran's dark-toned accompaniment, the five-part dedication to Lloyd's great-great grandmother's life heads this masterpiece of a n album with beautifully composed a nd heart-wrenching songs. C SUSM faculty member t o present piano recital B Y R YAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER It could be said that there is only one thing more pleasant than a recital by a talented and dedicated pianist, and that is a free recital by the very same talented and dedicated pianist. Fortunately, CSUSM will be showcasing the latter at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Arts 111. Last year, CSUSM's very own music professor, Dr. Ching-Ming Cheng, mesmerized the school with a fantastic showcase of her talents, backed by a life of extensive experience in solo and collaborative concerts all over the globe. Her career has also involved multiple teaching positions at schools across America, ultimately leading to her incredibly welcome arrival at CSUSM in the fall of 2011. The recital is one of the many ways Dr. Cheng's involvement at the school goes beyond teaching; she also has plans to develop a complete music department, separate from the music and theater department. "We want to expand, and take this program onto a different level," Dr. Cheng said, mentioning how few students at the school major in instrumental music. In fact, majors in specific instruments, such as piano, were not previously available until Dr. Cheng's arrival. "Now that they have me, we are trying to recruit more music majors," she said, emphasizing the focus on piano. She hopes the set-up can involve one-on-one instruction, so she can have a handson interaction with students who are interested in piano and other music. Dr. Cheng hopes to get a music department up and running at the school at least by the next semester, but she believes the primary obstacle to this goal is the fact that students who may be interested may not be aware of her efforts. She hopes the recital can raise awareness of what she is trying to do, and hopefully draw students who may be interested in becom- ing music majors and helping to establish a department on campus. As for the concert itself, Dr. Cheng enjoys playing music from several major historical musicians in chronological order, beginning with the seventeenth century and moving to modern day, in a show that will cover music from Chopin, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Brusoni. "He actually arranged a piece written by Bach," she said excitedly of Brusoni, the most modern of the featured musicians, "so it kind of brings it full circle." The recital will go for about ninety minutes, and, of course, it is free. For your Entertainment:'Arrested Development' and Take Me Home Tonight' B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E EDITOR "Arrested Development" Must Watch Episode: Season 2, Episode 3: Amigos! The most original and underrated comedy of all time, "Arrested Development" is a show that aired on the Fox network for only three seasons. The show is so unique because of the diverse and quirky characters as well as outrageous storylines. Jason Bateman plays Michael Bluth, the lead character that takes charge of his family and their mini mansion company when his father George Mie h a el Sr. (played by Jeffrey Tambor) is i mprisoned for "creative accounting." During the process of the investigation, the rest of the Bluths' moves into a model home.

To complete this talented cast is Jessica Walter who plays the vain and self obsessed Lucille Bluth, mother of the Bluths. Ron Howard offers his voice as the narrator who offers the sarcastic and witty tone. In spring 2013, Netflix will reboot the series with brand new episodes. 'Take Me Home Tonight" £ *£*£'•;/5 Set in the late '80s, the film follows the protagonist Matt Franklin (played by "That 70's Show" Topher Grace) in a coming of age tale featuring similar struggles that many of us might face after we graduate college. After graduating from MIT, Matt moved back home and works at a movie rental place ; in the mall to much of his father's dissatisfaction. While at the video store with his twin sister Wendy (played by Anna Faris), Matt runs into his high school crush Tori Frederking (played by Teresa Palmer).

Student Health and Counseling Services makes return to campus By Jasmine Demers The HOPE and Wellness Center is also home to student run organizations that advocate for healthy lifestyles through peer education. Some of these organizations include Students Talking About Relationships and Sex (STARS), and Active Minds, a group whose purpose is to destigmatize mental illness. Victoria Sandoval, Peer Educator and President of Active Minds, explains how she got involved in these programs and what kind of influence she thinks peer education has on students. "I found the home of the Hope and Wellness last year News Editor CSUSM is celebrating the return of a campus organization that is dedicated to raising awareness for issues concerning student health, and providing services that promote the strength and well being of the student community.

Latin@ Center to be opened at CSUSM this year Raza Center movement reaches important milestone By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief Many members of the campus community and surrounding San Marcos area saw their dream become a reality when President Haynes announced that CSUSM will implement a Latin® Center this year. On Jan. 28, President Haynes notified the campus populace of the news through an email from the Office of the President, confirming CSUSM's plans to move forward with the creation of what was formerly referred to as the "Raza Center." In her email, Haynes announced that the Latin® Center would open in fall 2015 and be located in the USU, a process that will be overseen by Dr. Lorena Meza, Vice President of Student Affairs. According to Haynes, Meza will also oversee the development Photo courtesy of United Students of Color Coalition Members of groups including M E.ChA., USCC, and STAND at one of the first meetings to plan the Raza/Latin@ Center at CSUSM. of "operational structure, budget, location and timeline for the Center's opening." While the implementation of the Latin® Center may come as a surprise to some, many members of the campus and local community have been working to bring this center to CSUSM for more than a year. CSUSM is considered a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 4,036 of its 11300 students identifying as Hispanic or Latino/a in 2014. This translates to approximately 35.6 percent of the entire student population on campus, a percentage only surpassed by the Caucasian student population of approximately 35.8 percent. Due to the demographics of the campus and surrounding communities, student organizations such as United Students of Color Coalition (USCC), M E.ChA., Ballet Folklorico and S.TA.N.D. have participated in starting conversations demonstrating the need for a center at CSUSM. Methods for raising awareness have included drafting a petition which garnered about 600 signatures in total, meeting with Dr. Arturo Ocampo, Associate Vice President of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and creating the hashtag #RazaCenterCSUSM. In 2014, Cipriano Vargas, former Vice President of Operations on ASI's Board of Directors (BoD), met with members of these and other student orgs, to draft the ASI Resolution for a Latino/Hispanic center on campus. The BoD voted in favor of the Resolution on Feb. 28,2014, and it was then sent to President Haynes to be either approved or dismissed. Haynes approved the Resolution and created a work group that was tasked with depicting how to implement the center at CSUSM, as well as how it could benefit students. These proposals were submitted for review this past December. Now Meza and her search committee will begin looking for candidates to fill the position of the Latin@ Center's assistant director. The Center will support not only Hispanic and Latino/a students on campus, but the entire campus community in an effort to celebrate Latin @ culture and provide important resources for success. �News Editor: Jasmine Demers cougarchron.news@gmail.com Campus events aim to increase student involvement B y Sydney Schabacker Senior Staff Writer CSUSM traveled back in time and revisited the 1990s, with its hallmark plaid clothes, denim, Capri Sun drinks and ring pops as a way of providing its students with an enjoyable social opportunity with their fellow Cougars. Hosted by Associated Student Inc. (ASI) and the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), the '90's themed dance was held on Jan. 23 at the Clarke Field House and was the first of many events that these organizations plan to promote this semester. ASI and USUAB are the lead coordinators for fun events on campus, such as last semester's Masquerade Ball. By collaborating with other on-campus organizations, they plan to hold a variety of events that will offer CSUSM students affordable, safe and interesting entertainment. ASI Representative Hannah Hawker explains the importance of these events and the goals that they are trying to achieve. "We want to gauge the college culture, to see if it's changing. We want to attract all types of students. We've noticed that the students, underclassmen fresh from high school especially, really like the dances. It's a free and/or cheap way to have fun," Hawker said. Past events, such as the CSUSMixer last semester, have proven to be successful by bringing together a diverse crowd of students for fun mingling. USUAB representative Kadie Heck also comments on the events that are geared towards student interaction, specifically organized dances. "For those reminisc- Photo Courtesy of USUAB Marketing Assistants ing about prom night, it's a good time to get formal and have fun," Heck said. Outside of dances, these organizations are putting together many other events as well. There are free movies the first Tuesday of every month at Edwards Cinema, USU excursions (like Disneyland last semester), Cougar Eats, a Valentine's Day movie and many more events. Organizers hope that students will take advantage The Prowl kicks off 25th anniversary celebration Scavenger hunt helped students, staff learn more about campus By Chelsey Schweitzer __ Senior Staff Writer CSUSM students and faculty kicked off the spring semester with a campus wide celebration of the University's 25th anniversary.

"We want everyone's col- lege experience to be the best we can make it," Heck said. For students who want to put their social or organizational skills to good use, ASI and USUAB are fun options for community involvement.

By N icole Holman and Jasmine Demers A ssistant N ews E ditor & N ews E ditor CSUSM students are learning how to fight back against domestic and sexual abuse through a hands-on campus training program. Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D), the world's largest self-defense program, is dedicated to teaching women practical and effective techniques to prevent assault. Courses are available to all women attending CSUSM and are taught by nationally certified defense instructors. Classes cover a range of topics, including how to react in high-risk situations and hands-on defense techniques. R.A.D Instructor, Matthew Curran, explains the importance of adopting habits that will work to increase your personal safety. "One of the ways women can avoid becoming targets is to always be aware of their surroundings," Curran said. "If you feel something is out of place, act on it. Don't ignore your gut instinct. If you feel that something is wrong or that someone is giving you a bad vibe, listen to that feeling and get yourself somewhere safe. It's better to be safe than sorry." Curran also goes on to highlight the reasons why it is so important for women to take advantage of self- defense training, specifically in a college setting. "Any female can benefit from learning how to better defend herself in high-risk situations .Their self-confidence improves and they are more aware, especially in college, where this is many students' first time on their own and away from their parents," Curran said. Melissa Olmos, CSUSM student and R A.D Training participant, explains that she wanted to take the course for reasons of selffulfillment and practice. "You can always improve your skills in order to catch attackers off-guard. Even if you feel that you are prepared, i tV always good to keep yourself in practice," Olmos said. She also goes on to explain the ways that she feels she has benefitted from the training itself, and how she plans to use it in the future. "I feel like there's a lot of individual growth that takes place during this training," Olmos said. "You're learning how to be prepared. You can also take what you learn and share it with your friends so that they can be safer, too." Staying safe has become an increasing concern on college campuses, with reports showing that at least one in four college women will experience sexual assault. The CSUSM campus itself has been affected by similar cases, such as the investigation of the unaffiliated fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. Last semester, TKE was under investigation for multiple sexual assault allegations. Added to these reports were other criminal activities such as hazing, providing illegal drugs and alcohol to minors and vandalism. At the start of December 2014, campus police served TKE with search warrants at two different locations where they found evidence to support these allegations. According to the police report, evidence retrieved at the locations included $1,000 in cash, human growth hormones, marijuana, cocaine, LSD, What started out as a few passionate people creating a project to take a stand against cultural appropriation has become a three-month-long exhibition of student photographed and designed posters in Kellogg Library. These posters are unlike other anti-racism and antistereotyping campaigns. They feature the faces of CSUSM students, photographed by their peers, taking a stand against the cultural appropriation that marginalized communities face on a regular basis. Individuals are depicted ripping apart photographs of offensive Halloween costumes that stereotype various cultures such as Latino/a, American Indian and African American. Models for these posters include individuals such as Amiyonette Hesaynehe Goodblanket and Carlos Morales, who are also featured on the fliers pro- been part of such a dynamic moting the poster unveiling. group of individuals and orThe campaign's powerful ganizations on this campus," motto is emblazoned across Tracey Engleton, current PR the posters and fliers: "There Club member and former PR is more to me than what you Club President, said.

"The new SHCS Building is going to benefit the campus in so many ways. I am an RA for the UVA and I have had times where residents needed to go to the clinic but could not due to transportation issues," Sandoval said. "The convenience of the building will allow students direct access to health services. Also I have seen that students feel more comfortable knowing that in case of an emergency... the clinic is there, accessible, and ready to help." Sandoval also explains how rewarding her experience has been while working as a Peer Educator and being a part of such an important campus organization. "The whole outreach portion of the SHCS has blessed me with so many opportuni- ties such as this one, through being apart of their amazing student team," Sandoval said. "Everyone in the clinic inspires me in different ways being that their personal jobs all give back to the students of CSUSM in a unique way. I feel the genuine effort every staff member gives whether they are direct counselors/ educators or those that work the magic behind the scenes." CSUSM students are encouraged to get involved and help spread awareness about health issues on campus.

Students enrolled in the program will learn essential skills applicable to a wide range of careers. Program Director Dr. Sharon Hamill explained that the CHAD program's focus is on the empirical understanding of the development of children and adolescents." Graduates will have the skills necessary to work with families and know how to best cater to the specific needs of individual children. In addition to being prepared for child care related jobs, graduates will better understand the behaviors of children in a multi-faceted manner and become better suited to efficiently handle a variety of both professional and personal situations. In families where both parents work, child services are a necessity and high quality care is vital for proper development. According to Forbes, only 10 percent of childcare programs can be identified as "high quality." This creates a .large market for trained individuals in the field of adolescent development. The U.S. federal government has also acknowledged the need for improved child care. Two bipartisan bills were signed into effect in 2014, making background checks and annual inspections a requirement f or child care workers. In January, Speaker of the House John Boehner met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on 60 Minutes to discuss the state of American child care.. During the interview Boehner said, "in the overall context of simplifying our tax code and bringing rates down for everyone — simply improving access to child care isn't universally good if the quality of care doesn't improve too." Dr. Hamill and her coworkers have been working to make the degree available to students for the last 10 years. The recent national focus on child care is perfectly timed with the introduction of the program. When asked about the recent political movements, Hamill said, "We built the degree in part with that bill in mind." CSUSM students who graduate with a degree in Child and Adolescent development will be prepared to fill the need for skilled specialists in a growing industry.

The CSUSM Women's Track and Field team begin their indoor season on Feb. 7, 2015. What exactly is indoor track? Indoor track takes place in an indoor arena, as opposed to outside as many of us are accustomed to. Indoor also has differ- ent events to compete in that outdoor track does not have. For instance, indoor competitors race in a 60 meter hurdle race whereas outdoor hurdlers duke it out at a distance of 100 meters. Track and Field is just as much a mental sport as it is a physical sport. If you come out to a practice any given day, you see athletes slumped over with agony all over their faces, and if you are not mentally tough, you will not be able to finish a workout. The sight of agony is a coach's delight however, because it means the intense workouts are doing their job. With all the tough practices, it would almost be blasphemous to not see benefits when it is time for competition. That is exactly why athletes on the CSUSM team are primed to improve on their speed from last year. Sophomore Kamarria Rehn and Senior Brittany Hollie are a few that are poised for a takeover at the National Championships. "One of my goals this season is to finish in a higher ranking," Hollie said. "I finished seventh last year, so I want to try and go top five this year." Yes, you read correct: top five. Considering how difficult it is to even be ranked at all, this would be a lofty goal for anyone to set, but for Hollie, it is nothing short of fully achievable. Almost similar aspirations were also true for the sophomore athlete. "I'm hoping I can run a fast enough time to go to Nationals," Rehn said. "The goal is to run a faster time than what I did last season." Both Hollie and Rehn are striving to do better and that may not be a coinci- Photo by Chris Morales Cougars' home field track has been prepped for an outstanding season. dence. Based off those two alone, the mindset of the Women's Track and Field team is to reach Nationals and compete at the highest level. Head Coach Scott and Assistant Coach Wes are known to coach athletes to success. This year should be no different as we look to see that twenty-third ranking improve.

Having a set time can help build a regiment of exercise into a busy school schedule. Fitting in at least an hour a day, three days a week can drastically improve an individual's health. Having a schedule can also help make it easier to plan studying around your schedule because you'll know what to expect during the upcoming weeks. 3. "Just Do It" Nike hit the nail on the head with this iconic three-word slogan: walking, running, bicycling, basketball, tennis; volleyball, swimming," yoga; the list of activities can go on. You've already dedicated the time to exercise so all you have to do now is, "just do it." Just get out there and do something, anything! Get out and dribble a basketball, take a walk around the block, go on a hike or my personal favorite, try to walk every step at CSUSM. 4. Have Fun! It's easy to get into a redundant regiment of working out the same muscles, on the same machine, at the same gym, seeing the same people; so mix up your workouts to keep things fresh. Try out a new sport or run a different route. Do something you like to do instead of doing workouts just to "look good." People look their best when smiling, so find something you love and stick with it. Along with an academic workout, the spring semester is a great time to start getting healthy for the upcoming spring break! Benefits of personal trainer By Burtland Dixon Sports Editor A beach trip is coming up and you are no longer self-conscious about your appearance. Your body is fit and you want to showcase it any chance you get. For many, that just isn't a desire anymore and in fact, is a reality. Others are still dreaming with their eyes open and second guessing getting in the pool at the party they were recently invited to. How do they stop the dreaming? Our society has seen a huge cultural shift with people wanting to be fit and being a part of the popular #gymselfie movement on social networks. We've seen fitness guys and girls hop on the Herbalife train having it escort them to a land of chiseled pecks and toned calves. And who can forget about the LA Fitness employees handing out those infamous orange three day trial cards and leaving them on our windshields? There are plenty of methods to get fit, but there is one way in partic- Photo by Cody Cook Personal trainer Kyle Johnson awaits future clients. ular that is sure fired help. "If a client wants a personal trainer, it's nice for them because they can get a personalized workout program made specifically for them and what fitness goals they have," said Brendyn Heath, CSUSM's highly acclaimed trainer. "If they had no clue on what to do in the gym before, they will have a much better understanding of fitness and exercising after." Nevertheless, it is completely reasonable to those who are full-time students, have a job and spend their free time with studying and homework; no knock to your hustle. However, to those who just are not motivated or say they do not want to go to the gym because they have not the slightest clue where to start, fret no more. A personal trainer is just what you need. CSUSM offers a plethora of services and activities, and hiring your own trainer is one of them. The pool party and selfies await you. �Sports Editor: Burdand Dixon cougarchron.sports@gmail.com R emembering S tuart S cott A tribute to a sports broadcasting icon By Burtland Dixon Sports Editor The year was 1993 when ESPN hired what turned out to be one of their most special employees to this day. The sports world was certainly unprepared for what was to come next, but it was surely overdue. There are some people in life who seem to just get it, whatever it may be, and Stuart Scott is truly one of those people. From his catchphrases to his fervor towards whatever he was doing, audiences who tuned in to watch him discuss sports always walked away satisfied. As the years went by during his stint at ESPN, Stuart's popularity began ris- face vocabulary, such as "Boo-Yah!" or "Just call him butter cause he's on a roll." Stuart was one of a kind. "Stuart was a pioneer, he brought a style to sports commentary that was exciting and upbeat, and he also took pride in what he did," fourth-year CSUSM student, Chris Melendez, said.

John Glasoe, a Temecula native and CSUSM graduate, proves that merging hobby and work life is not an impossible feat for the college graduate. "Do something that makes you happy. Do not just look towards the money," Glasoe said. Equipped with a degree in Economics and an impressive resume, Glasoe was able to land his dream before walking through the door. As a retired varsity golf player and a former employee for Cross Creek Golf Course in Temecula, he felt that he was prepared to take on this new job.

Living on the coast of California, we often forget how close we are to many sources of fresh seafood. Lobster is an easy meal to make at home, as it is often overpriced at restaurants, where a single lobster can cost upwards of $40. Luckily, raw lobster tails are available at Costco and other supermarkets for $8-15 a tail, which is comparable to a home cooked steak. It is important to note that because of their small claws, the meat of California lobsters is nearly all in the tail, making them even easier to cook than a Maine lobster.

Here at Cal State San Marcos, Metcalfe is a Professor of Literature with eight years under her belt, but initially, she wanted to obtain a degree in acting and directing due to her love for theater. She ultimately ended up teaching Intro to Literature because she loved reading so much. Even though she did not go into theater, Metcalfe says that she loves her job as a professor here at CSUSM, but on the other hand while laughing and shaking her finger from side to side she adds, "What I don't like is grading papers!" When asked what her dream job would be had she gone a different route, her eyes begin to glisten as she says, "acting." "I actually still have fantasies of when and if I retire, maybe doing community theater. I think that this was more feasible, working as a professor, in terms of being able to support myself than taking my chances like some many brave people do and trying to make it in the theater; so it's more of a practical choice that's worked out very well." And if she could have magical powers she declared while giggling, "I would enlighten everyone, I would have everyone on the planet achieve instant enlightenment!" As for advice that not only fellow literature majors can take from, but anyone else as well, Metcalfe cites passion as a good motivator. "You have to do something that you genuinely love. And sometimes it doesn't look very practical, but if it's something you love, you will find a way to make it work in your life and you won't hate yourself for making the wrong choice and you won't burn out and get bored. Joseph Campbell, a famous student of mythology said, 'Follow your bliss,' and I think he was right." �Features Editor: Collin Vaz cougarchron.features@gmail.com S H I N E LIKE A STAR Astrology, retrograde and horoscopes structure of going in order, able to stay in my observer?

The event took place on Jan. 29 and included advocacy-focused clubs, career-oriented societies and club sports. There was something for every niche and interest to enjoy. The new USU ballroom was an excellent venue offering plenty of room for the 70 clubs present at the event. Each organization had a desk set up with candy, fliers and sign-up sheets. Students who attended were able to ask questions and meet members of the clubs. Each organization offered something special and unique.

To some it's a rallying cry, others are apathetic and still more consider it, with a snort of derision, as the preferred term with a cynical lens directed toward a day celebrating a celibate Christian martyr. Valentine's Day, despite its religious roots, has developed into a secular holiday full of amorous ambitions and Ben & Jerry's. The term, Single's Awareness Day, was created to direct attention toward a crowd that is not within the celebrating demographic of the holiday. However, the present tense is used because the term has largely turned into a larger joke than it was at its inception. There are no maroon cards shaped like anatomically correct hearts to hand out to friends and acquaintances and no apathetically wrapped gift boxes. Television networks would be hard pressed to air anything other than films about love. Ultimately, the only change garnered with these words is a short-lived sense of comradery with whoever uttered By Lexy Perez Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor Photo Illustration by Nick it, followed by an awkward high five and the subsequent repression of any unpleasant memories that come as a result of the interaction. So if not Single's Awareness Day, then what do those without a date do to bring attention to themselves? The answer is quite simple: nothing. Valentine's Day is a commercialized mess to the point that the fact that there isn't a Charlie Brown special on it is quite surprising. But beyond capitalistic aimed cynicism, there's no real reason to get into a mood that requires making a joke about the name of a holiday. While some rush around to get chocolates and flowers for their sweetheart, a person of the non-committed persuasion can exploit the Nootbaar cheaper prices for chocolate and flowers while potentially enjoying a good romantic comedy film later in the evening. Dining out becomes considerably more simple as single and odd numbered parties can get in much quicker than couples that always pack the establishments. Let the couples of the world have their holiday with deep red roses, absurd lines at restaurants and boxes of chocolate shaped like rear ends. A name is a small concession to pay for the benefits taken advantage of by all parties. May the joke of bringing awareness to those lacking in paramours be done with and instead be used as a chance to take advantage of its rampant commercialism through candy. Why history is best major Attention to all you hopeless romantics, Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Whether you're in a relationship or choosing to dub that Saturday as "Single Awareness Day," it's the one day that people tend to stress over more than Christmas. This holiday has a reputation in which extravagant surprises take place, marathons of sappy love movies air on television and love songs to set the mood play on repeat. I don't know about you, but it never fails to bring out every PDAcentered couple to surround every inch of outside civilization. (Note: Love is a beautiful thing, but nobody really needs to see whose chapstick can last longer.) It's a time where girls can finally have a reasonable excuse to take Forrest Gump's offer of having that savory box of chocolate, as if we need a day to remind us of the necessity of life that is chocolate. While the idea of Valentine's Day is nice, it seems as if the male population is slowly starting to dread the approaching love shenanigans. Valentine's Day has altered its name to: "Don't Screw It Up Day." Here's a little advice to all you guys feeling the pressure and stress to give that special someone a day to remember: Stop thinking so much, but please don't run away from the day. It would* be a lie to not admit that the media can create fictional fantasies filled with nothing but candlelit dinners, bouquets of roses, extravagant gestures, blinged-out gifts and males being every inch the Prince Charming that seems to be so rare to find in the real world. While the glitz, glam and Prince Charming fantasy seems nice, is it that shocking to consider that maybe all of it isn't necessarily needed to make that special someone happy? If you want to go all out and try to be that Prince Charming I think every guy can be, but secretly protests by committing all your love to video games and food, then go right ahead. But deep down, not all girls want just those knight in shining armor moments. Sometimes the smallest gestures are just as meaningful. Forget the candlelit din- ner and stay in for a movie night marathon together because maybe having alone, cuddle time beats being out in public with every couple in America. Don't break your wallet trying to get that diamond jewelry that will add more stress to your already long list of "Oh, I need to pay for that" pile. Get your significant other a box of pizza in the shape of heart, because no matter how much we can try to fight it, carbs will always be a girl's best friend. You don't need to get a myriad of gifts to prove your love, just take the time to talk and reflect on the feelings you have, but sometimes forget to express. Communication goes a long way and what better way to surprise her than by expressing your thought bubble, the one she secretly always wonders what it contains? The moral of this day isn't to stress so much but to just enjoy spending time with whoever makes you happy. It would be a shame to run away from the day out of fear of "messing up." Life is already stressful, so why add more on a day that simply calls for the little things to celebrate something special? The world in the palm of your hand By Erich Allen StaffWriter If you're undecided as to what major to declare at CSUSM, or if you already have, I encourage you to pursue a degree in history. History as a discipline is critical in the analysis of self-identity, and facilitates the building of tools required for any and every investigatory task. It also effectually operates as a compilation of all human activity and discovery; therefore, as a practice it delves into all regions of academia. Everyone likes history, because everyone does history. This is not a reference to the proverbial "You make history, everyday" trite. Historiography, the process of doing history, is the process of evaluating the relevant information regarding a specified topic for the purpose of building an argument. One analyzes the primary evidence (sources from the time period) and the secondary evidence (investigations by scholarly experts) so as to develop a complete and thorough conclusion. That's all history entails: making arguments based off of the evidence. But the possibilities are endless, as history is not merely the study of what hap- pened, but why it happened. We frequently use this process in our own lives. For example, if I want to understand why I received a poor grade on an written exam, I review the questions I got wrong, areas of the study guide or textbook that I overlooked, and my own notes (primary), as well as professor comments and/or input from fellow students who received better scores (secondary). History is a tool by which we discover ourselves. Our individual identity is most completely established with a structured analysis of our decisions, worldview and the actions that have occurred within or without our control. To understand these things, we may initially make assertions based in the present, but we ultimately always delve into the past to substantiate those assertions. We look at the big events in our lives, such as a significant award, an act of compassion by friends, a breakup, council from trusted advisors, getting hired for a job, an ideological revelation or winning/losing a game. History is investigating what lead up to those events, and how those events affect us now. Understanding these causes and effects makes one a master of themselves by strengthening their capability to assess their own thoughts and ac- tions to prepare a better approach to future situations. If one then uses this process for broader applications, they can become masters of their own peripheral reality through understanding. The same historiographical process that one uses on oneself can be applied to the entirety of human history. It is this aspect that elevates the historian (which any of us can be) to the position of academic mastery, a scholastic jack-ofall-trades. History, in relation to the past, is the culmination of all human thought and action. The entirety of human experience is open ground for investigation, and indeed is necessary for a complete understanding of why the world is the way it is. Thus, history entails every academic discipline in the human intellectual arsenal. From political science to chemistry, literature to cartography, all is relevant and necessary for a complete and thorough study of the past. History is a smorgasbord of knowledge, a buffet of information, the seven-layer dip of the intellectual diet. It makes one a master of themselves as well as the world around them. Because of its profound potential for understanding through application, history puts the world in one's hands, which is why I urge you to consider majoring in history.

I'ni not alone. I know other students have been in the same boat, as certain classes have had to turn away droves of waitlisted and crashing students in recent semesters. Two semesters ago, a student supposedly petitioned to have "LTWR 317 - technical writing" added to the schedule, and 28 people said they would join that class the next semester before it even was listed. Classes on technical writing and "small press publishing", as well as various writing workshops and creative writing courses, have been in the Literature & Writing Studies catalogue since I transferred here in Fall 2012. Yet, in the case of small press publishing and technical writing, I have never been able to enroll either because of class size limitations or the fact that they have not been offered. Classes like technical writing and publishing promise skills that many Literature and Writing students would benefit to have on their resume. Many of us intend to go into careers related to these subjects. Dane Vandervelden, a CSUSM grad recently shared with me how he doesn't feel this college did a good job preparing students for the submitting and publishing process as a writer with a degree. Another course not offered at CSUSM is grant writing. I have gone so far as to take this through GrossmontCuyamaca online adult education, for the affordable price of $84.1 encourage other students to find valuable courses outside of CSUSM and share with The Cougar Chronicle and their fellow students where these more career-specific classes can be found. Also, what skills do you believe would make you more valuable as an employee after graduation? Does CSUSM offer them? Please, write to your advisors, school faculty and this paper to share your experience. I am currently wait-listed for LTWR 317. Can I take a class somewhere else for the workshop requirement and if so what? Will you also address this issue and share the information publicly? Thank you, Sarah Hughes Tips for successful semesteretter Talking yourself to b comprehension By Noelle Friedberg Opinion Editor With the start of another semester comes the same dream of good grades and success in the classroom. One sure-fire way to help these dreams come to fruition is to talk about what you're learning in class outside of the classroom. By this I mean that talking about the material you're learning in any given class outside of the classroom, be it with friends, family, coworkers, etc., will help you to do better in your classes. Let's say you're in a marine biology class and you're learning about coastal bluff erosion. If you're not remembering all of the needed information as well as you would like, try explaining how bluff erosion occurs to someone who isn't in the class with you. If no one wants to listen to you talk about it, try taking them to the beach and explaining it to ••HHHflH W hen you're & p art o f i ke C IA»you call. mÊÊÊÊm The CIA has paid student internship, scholarshlpand co-op several fields of study.

Or perhaps you're in a history class and you're trying to remember the specifics of the American Civil War. Talk with someone about it. Explain the different battles to them. Use your notes or your textbook or whatever you have to do to have a conversation with someone about the things that will be on your test, or that you have to write an essay about. The reason I say all of this is that talking about school outside of school does so much to help you better remember and understand the concepts you need to know in order to do well in your classes. So next time you're feeling stuck in school or are having a hard time remembering what you're learning, try talking with someone about what you've been discussing and reading in class and see if it doesn't help you turn things around. �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com MOVIE REVIEW 4 / 5 P AWS Ringing in the new year with "The Wedding Ringer" By Lexy Perez Assistant Entertainment Editor It's a new year, which means the next "bromanctic" duo enters the movie theater screens. This new duo hopes to get a chuckle out of anyone willing to see a story that has been told in previous films, but is the first one to reinvent it for a new year. Popular stand-up comedian Kevin James and Josh Gad (the man behind the voice of Olaf in "Frozen") star in "The Wedding Ringer," a film about two guys that are nothing alike, yet find an unlikely bond that screams "sappy, bromance" level friendship. Doug (Gad) is a lonely, yet wealthy outcast failing to be the "cool guy" every male wants to be friends with. Surprisingly enough, he is about to marry his "miracle girl," Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) but is faced with a predicament of not having a best man or a posse of groomsmen to stand beside him on his wedding day. Enter Jimmy (Hart), the man behind Best Man MOVIE Inc., a business that allows lonely men, like Doug, to rent-a-best-man for their wedding days. While most men simply need a best man, Jimmy is forced to attempt "The Golden Tux" for Doug, in which he must provide fullservice treatment: acquiring groomsmen, throwing a bachelor party, making speeches and creating stories that convincingly portray fake life-long friendships with all of them. Jimmy not only searches for a group of eligible groomsmen, but REVIEW also must make them be the "best friends" Doug has always had and never introduced to his bride-to-be. It's not that hard to assume what the rest of the movie will play out: dysfunctional moments bonding with Doug's future in-laws, the introduction and bonding with his "best friends" and nonstop comedic banter and occurrences while Jimmy attempts to teach Doug how to be the "cool guy" he always dreamed of being. A bromance movie wouldn't be complete with- out the deep, cheesy bonding moments that exemplify a once client-businessman relationship to a blossoming friendship that allows both Doug and Jimmy to grow as individuals. Doug progresses into becoming someone he feels happier with, while Jimmy realizes the true importance and meaning of his business and himself as a "best man." While the film is just another story to add to the already list of "unlikely duos becoming the best of friends" films, it is both Hart's and Gad's comedic wit that makes the film. Throughout the film, it seems as if Hart successfully brings out the comedic chops of Gad, for he is a newcomer acting alongside an already established comedian. While a newcomer, Gad successfully brought out Hart's sweet side, representing a deeper, more relatable character. This film will not only bring you laughs, but it's also another film that portrays two guys whom you can't help but root for as they become genuine best friends. 4 / 5 P AWS The Guardians of the Galaxy rocks the universe By Zach Schanzenbach fans of sci-fi and/or Marvel will also have a fun time.

Groot (Vin Diesel) is, quite literally, a breath of fresh air, as the most innocent and heartwarming character in the movie. Though he is a MOVIE REVIEW tree of few words (literally), he speaks more volumes than most of the other characters. Hardcore Marvel fans will also be happy with the nod this movie gives to "Avengers" with a brief cameo by the dark character "The Other," as well as a humorous scene at the end featuring the infamous Howard the Duck. We finally get our first, full glimpse of the villain Thanos, who briefly appeared at the end of "Avengers." On the downside, Ronan the Destroyer and his assistants don't break a lot of ground as villains. And why is there so much swearing? I know it's typical of a movie like this to include swearing, but I just thought it was a little too much here. Well, I guess that's what Groot's for.

The battle itself takes up the bulk of the rest of the film, ranging from clashing armies to rallies to victory, and then, at long last, Thorin and Azog meet and have thenlong-awaited final battle. While the results of saidbattle are just what I expected, the actual battle itself was more original than what I 'm used to. I 'm not sure why there was snow and ice around them, but Bard did say that winter was coming, so it's not out of place. And how did it end? Thorin killed Azog, and Azog killed Thorin. There were two things, and two things only, that majorly disappointed me in this movie. One of them, brought back from the last movie, was the once-implied romance between Kili the dwarf and Tauriel the elf. They should have left it as "implied," but they didn't. Nope, they just had to let the romance bloom. The other majorly disappointing thing about this movie was the ending, by which I mean everything following Azog's death. I remember well how Thorin passed away in the animated version of The Hobbit from before I was born: it was long, somber and a heartjerker. Here? Just a few last words to make amends with Bilbo before the hobbit weeps for his dead friend. The end of the main story has Bilbo returning to his home, only to find the hobbits in the village auctioning off his stuff, as he is presumed dead. An indignant Bilbo makes things straight and returns home a changed hobbit. You'd think he'd settle down, but instead his focus is on the ring. Next thing we know, it's sixty years later all over again. I would have been more satisfied if there was a sense of resolution to this story. Sure, you can give a nod to the future adventure that Frodo will embark on, but here, everything exists to point to that adventure. It's almost like Peter Jackson is using these movies to say, "Go watch The Lord of the Rings!" On the whole, I can't complain too much. "The Battle of the Five Armies" is a satisfying third film; it's a good conclusion overall. But why is it called the defining chapter? Because it's the last Illustration film that involves an official story from Middle Earth? Yeah, right. I know how Hollywood is nowadays: they always try to milk every last drop out of a franchise. And I 'll have you know right now that Tolk- courtesy ofIMBD.com ien's Middle Earth is FAR from out of content to work with (see The Silmarillion). The Battle of the Five Armies is definitely epic. But is it the defining chapter in the Middle Earth saga?

The North County Arts Network (NCAN) group, developed by the California Arts Council and the San Diego Board of Supervisors, introduced ideas for the nurturing, expansion and growth of artistic endeavors in San Diego County and the State of California. Their goal is to establish a strong foundation for funding the art culture within our region during 2015. The meeting was on Jan.15 and hosted various representatives from all over San Diego County, including the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, the North Coast Repertory Theatre, the Oceanside Museum of Art, representatives of various school boards, teachers, artists and enthusiasts. The North County Arts Network hopes to gain momentum in finding individuals to help with marketing, fundraising, brainstorming implementation techniques, and so much more. "[It is a] collaborative movement to raise the arts incorporation in San Diego culture," said Craig Watson, keynote speaker and Director of the California Arts Council. Many of the spectators of the evening's presentation voiced their excitement for the upcoming plans, including CSUSM's Community Liaison, Marilyn Huerta. If this movement becomes a success, it could lead to a great deal of possibilities for our community. Focuses include (but are not limited to) reincorporating the arts in education, beautification of San Diego communities, rehabilitation and art therapy. If interested in helping the cause, attend any or all of the NCAN's future networking events: 5 p.m. on April 16 at the Escondido Center for the Arts 340 North Escondido Blvd. Escondido, CA 92025 5 p jn. on July 16 at the Lux Art Institute 1550 South El Camino Real Encinitas,CA 92024 5 p.m. on Oct. 15 at the Oceanside Museum of Art 704 Pier View Way Oceanside, CA 92054 VIDEO GAME R E V I E W d ragon Age: Inquisition" Photo courtesy ofEA Games By Will McCurdy Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief After Bioware finished their "Knights of the Old Republic" series and making the iconic space RPG "Mass Effect," they took the role playing genre back to its Tolkienbased roots, with "Dragon Age" being the end result. Although not a perfect series in terms of mechanics and story, with its first game, the series provided an expansive world where every choice mattered and the lore of the game was shown. However, it was largely unexplored unless goaded by player prerogative and downloadable content. The second game was less than thrilling with the story being much smaller than the original, to the point where it could be realistically beaten in a long gaming session without the side quests. Nonplayer characters (NPCs) weren't all that developed with the game making one side against the invaders who are honestly quite a bit more reasonable than their human and elven counterparts. The story was less immersive than the first and it may as well have been called "Dragon Age: Sequel Hook." As a longtime fan of the series, it is quite a bit to say that the newest installment, Inquisition, though odd, is the best of the games that has come out so far. The base is fairly straightforward as after the destruction of a peace talk, the main character is made the game's version of "the chosen one" by virtue of being in the right place and helped out with a deus ex machina right off the bat. Freedom of race and class choice is even more expansive than in the first game with NPCs coming back stronger than ever, but one can get a tad distracted witn tne new design that makes their skin glisten like they just came back from a charity run. In addition to this, they make the other races seem more human with the once intimidating race of horned, gigantic Qunari appear to be cosplayers displaying character romanticizing at its finest. Rather than hold the player's hand even on easier difficulties, the game makes itself a challenge with preplanned combat becoming a necessity against foes that may be weaker than the player one minute and kill the entire party in one strike the next with little room for error as a human bandit group can set up camp in rather dangerous proximity to a dragon that breathes lightning. In addition there's an element of side quest delegation that involves an almost bureaucratic element that newer games seem to like including. While it adds a bit more to the game by making some missions considerably easier, it also takes a considerable amount of time depending on the mission and thus if not planned carefully can end up being a mess where the player gets caught in a deadly situation with their pants around their ankles. Despite the flaws, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" is a lovely edition to an already fantastic franchise that will require one to be immensely bored with it or lose all of their appendages before they stop playing. COMIC BOOK CORNER Bryan Lee O'Malley's new graphic novel plays with chances By Faith Orcino Arts and Entertainment Editor Creator of thé popular "Scott Pilgrim" series, Bryan Lee O'Malley published his newest story, "Seconds," last year. It focused on the brilliant young Katie, the head chef of local restaurant Seconds. It has been four years since her first day of work there and she has been planning to start up her own business in another part of town. Things have been in a stalemate but tensions rise between Katie and her co-workers the night she sees her ex-boyfriend on a date. Many things go wrong and it ends with someone in the hospital and some tears being shed. That night, Katie discovers a girl on her dresser and a mysterious box. The contents of the box included a magical mushroom and a notebook labelled "My Mistakes". After testing it out, she realizes she has been given a second chance. Her life becomes more interesting and more of the mushrooms appear in her dresser. Little does she pay attention to the strange girl's warning. Photo courtesy ofbarnesandnoble.com Unlike O'Malley's other publications, he decided to publish this in full color with the help of colorist Nathan Fairbairn. It was a necessary element for this whimsical tale. With every new twist, the story spiraled down far from reality. Still, Katie's tale is one that many can resonate with, hoping for that second chance to rewrite history. The book is available as a hardcover and as a digital e-book. Whichever way you choose to read it, "Seconds" is something you can't read just once.

This season started off with the Cougars playing the San Diego State Aztecs, a NCAA Division I program, in an exhibition game. The Aztecs are now ranked No. 5 in the nation on both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches' Poll. CSUSM lost this match up, but definitely held their own against a nationally ranked division I program. At one point, the score was 58-55 at the 8:26 mark of the second half.

This game was a strong predictor of the high caliber of play we have seen from the Cougars this year. Jim Saia's brand of basketball seems to be working for the Cougars, as they were the first team in the country to reach 20 wins on the season after their 86-73 victory over Simpson on Jan. 18. They are currently boasting a 21-1 record overall, and they have remained on the national poll for 19 straight weeks, a streak that dates back to last season's preseason rankings. If you happen to miss this upcoming regular-season home game, the final appearance for the Cougars will be March 1 with a 7:30 p.m. start time. This exhibition game, against St. Katherine, will honor the team's seniors. These last two home appearances offer students a great chance to see the rapidly developing athletic department representing them at CSUSM. 30 minutes can save a life T he g eneration o f b loggers f lood t he w eb Upcoming blood drive on campus B Y KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students have the opportunity to make a huge impact on people's lives by donating blood this month. The American Red Cross and the CSUSM Athletics Department are teaming up to host a blood drive on campus, with the goal of having 75 students participate. Just by spending 30 minutes of their time, a student can save the lives of up to three people with their donation. "When I was born I was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called hereditary spherocytosis. My disease caused me to spend several months in the hospital receiving blood transfusions and missing out, f or the better part of my childhood, playing athletics," former CSUSM baseball pitcher and O UR N EXT ISSUE FEB 19,2014 blood drive organizer, Jackson Gaskins, said. "I realized from a young age that because of blood donors I was able to live my dream. I was able to compete in sports after about the age of 10, perfectly healthy and fully functioning." Students can schedule their donation appointment ahead of time at www.redcross. org with the code CSUSM. They are encouraged to eat iron-rich meals beforehand. On the day of the blood donation, students should make sure they have had plenty of rest, wear comfortable clothes, bring a form of identification and drink extra fluids. The American Red Cross Blood Drive will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 17, in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Building. Every donor will receive a Red Cross T-shirt as a thank you for donating. Social media and technology increase our interest but hinder our retention B Y GLORIA MAGALLANES SENIOR STAFF W RITER When it comes to the word "blog," there are people who automatically reject the idea of owning one and much less writing one. Yet there is a large number of young people who are gaining more interest in creating and sharing their own personal blogs, as evidenced by a growing number of blog-formated forums in recent years. Blogs are being created for multiple, and new, purposes. With the evolution of technology, it is normal to encounter people who embrace the idea of self-expression. If someone is interested in sharing their written work or ideas, they can almost be certain it will be read or "skimmed" by others online. Many blog sites give writers an opportunity to hashtag after every blog post and it al- lows other users with similar interests more opportunity to view it. There are other tools to help share written work with more people. Most sites now have "share" or "reblog" buttons that make it easy to spread the word on people's creations. Modern social media makes it easy for people to create and inspire. Whether they like to write or share their fashion sense, they can always rely on blog sites to give them that liberty. Tumblr is one of those blogs. It's a site that is not just for creators but also for followers. "I look down the list of blogs and I follow whatever seems interesting," CSUSM student, Yadira said. Yadira, among others, uses this social media site to learn more about what they are interested in, whether it be TV shows, cooking, fashion, science or poetry. Some studies show that people in our generation have shorter attention spans due to the fact that we retain less when we read and this happens because of our skimming habits. Nicholas Carr speaks about this new habit in his book The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains. "The more we use the Web, the more we train our brain to be distracted—to process information very quickly and very efficiently but without sustain attention," Carr said. Yet blogs that focus on news, science and history, give everyone the ability to understand things they otherwise might not comprehend easily if they read it in an online article or newspaper. Though blogs may make such people more comfortable with reading information outside their comfort zones, blogs can contain information that is questionable because of a lack of being based on reliable evidence. Those who rely on other people's blogs to get information about news or fashion trends often don't think twice about whether the posts are credible. They forget about the biases that often occur in these blog posts. A blogger can pretend to be an expert or journalist, without experience or a degree. To many people it is simply the truth, without question. People tend to follow what they like and therefore read what they are interested in. Sometimes confirmation bias, the act of looking f or information that confirms previously held beliefs, is a related issue. �News Editor: Sarah Hughes cougarchron.news@gmail.com Books are worth investing in B Y ALISON SEAGLE SPORTS COLUMNIST Now that the new semester is underway, the lines at the bookstore have dwindled and students are beginning to crack open those books that they've spent so much money on. Some students are reading their books, Or at least they intend to. Not reading the material occurs at CSUSM as well as other schools. This factors into the learning process and can affect even the smartest individual's ability to pass a class. Regardless of major, students can be heard around campus discussing their reading assignments: they have too much to read, they read everything, they read nothing, they only read for classes they like, they only read for classes they struggle in or sometimes they don't even bother getting the textbook for a class. "It is ineffective for students to attend my classes if they have not prepared by reading the text, but I can't speak for other professors, who may work differently. The reason I give unannounced reading quizzes is to provide external motivation for students to read the assignments, as I find that they largely do not read if I don't provide some kind of grade incentive," said Dr. Heidi Breuer, a literature and writing professor at CSUSM. There are two important factors every student should consider before deciding to forgo reading assignments: their own personal learning style and the format of their course. Everyone has different ways that they learn. Some studies suggest that people have different learning-styles or sense-based best approaches for learning. People can be auditory learners, some learn better T o r ead o r n o t t o read? F lipping t hrough pages, b y A nne H all. V ogue p h o t o c reated o f L ena D unham.

Just because a few classmates say they think the reading is a waste of time does not mean it's useless. In fact, many teachers administer regular quizzes based solely on the reading. Perhaps students that shy away from reading may just learn better from lecture than from reading. Other students may prefer to do the reading on their own and feel like going to lecture is a waste of time. Students can go to the following link to get an idea of what their learning style is so they can develop study habits to help them best understand material: http://www.edutopia .org/multiple-intelligences-learning-styles-quiz. The format of a course and the teaching style that the professor uses also play a part in determining whether the reading assignment is worthy of a student's time. Some professors thoroughly cover all of the reading in their lectures, and often more, only assigning the reading so that students can get a preview before the lecture, and hopefully follow along better or ask questions if necessary. Other professors assign reading to be done before class so that the material can be discussed in class, where students are able to share their ideas and interpretations rather than just scribbling notes for an hour. It is critical in classes of that format for all students to do the reading so that everyone can participate, more ideas can be shared and a greater understanding of the topic can be grasped. If only a handful of the students do the reading, those class discussions will not be very lively and the students who have not read will not get the most out of their class. Curling up on the couch with a textbook to spend an hour or two reading may not sound like everyone's idea of a fun night, but it may be necessary for a student's learning style or the best way to prepare for a class so that students can benefit the most from taking that course. The Cougar Chronicle will be conducting an anonymous survey on the subject of reading textbooks and other sources. To take the survey, goto: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8PG5R86. Responses will be included in a follow-up story later this spring semester. R eshaping The Vogue i mage creating c ontroversy B Y A LEX MARAVILLAS FASHION COLUMNIST Vogue's February issue will feature a retouched photo of Lena Dunham and some people feel the use of Photoshop on the actress is inappropriate. In times where editing photos is practiced, we can reshape a person's body through programs such as Photoshop. Because of the media's infatuation with unattainable beauty standards, Photoshop has taken a primary role in the tool set of the modern day magazine editor. However, there are certain situations where these photos are criticized, such as how they affect the way that people perceive attractiveness in themselves and others. A few CSUSM students weighed in about the issue of retouching on body images. The representation of women in the media is an issue that students immediately pointed out problems with. "In our society, the representation of women is a complex and interesting issue," CSUSM student, Melisa Velazquez, said. "Women for example are being objectified and judged by their physical appearance. Even through new diversified roles married parents," according of women arise, images of to the Census.

Multiple sources trace the national birth rate as it drops and postulate possible causes. CSUSM students contradict the measures. According to nation .time, com, the American Census shows that our 1 percent population growth is the lowest birth rate since the Great Depression. Based on the National Vital Statistics Reports from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the nation's conception rate had depleted by 3 percent between 2007 and 2010 and slightly increased in 2011 and remained constant through 2012. The 1 percent growth noted in 2013 still does not surmount the rate for reproduction. "Who d oesn't w ant a c arbon copy mini m e? Plus these g enes M UST c arry o n.. .

Vogue fashion magazine just released their February issue featuring actress Lena Dunham from the show "Girls." Some people feel there is a paradox between the spirit of the HBO show and thé modifications the magazine made to Dunham's photos. The website Jezebel, com offered $10,000 for "unretouched" photos of Dunham after the Vogue shoot. The request was quickly answered. Regarding the photos of Dunham, critics pointed out the obvious Photoshop retouches done to the actress's body. According to Jezebel's blog, she had the bags under her eyes retouched, her smile lines airbrushed, her jaw refined, among other changes. Jezebel also claims Dunham had numerous touch-ups, such as her neck thinned and brought in, her hips pulled in and a male model's knee raised to be closer to her. According to "Gender and Popular Culture" by Katie Milestone and Anneke Meyer, "Women in popular culture have always been closely associated with and scrutinized in terms of thenphysical appearance, for example the size and shape of their appearance or the condition of their skins." Some feel the need to be worried about the long-term effects of Photoshop's prevalence in Western media, citing children and eating disorders as the reason for these concerns. Consider the message of the popular Buzzfeed. video, "Watch Photoshop Transform Your Favorite Celebrities Right Before Your Eyes." According to the video, on a typical day 8 to 18 year olds engage in some form of media for an average of 7.5 hours a day. Of a survey of American elementary school girls who read magazines, 81 percent of ten-year-olds said that they are afraid of being fat. 69 percent said images influence their concept of the ideal body shape. Forty-nine percent said the pictures make them want to lose weight and one-third of non-overweight girls reported dieting. Seventy percent of people believed that advertisements and media should use more average sizes. Lena Dunham's controversy is just one small incident out of thousands of others. Student opinions seem to lean more towards the harmful effects of Photoshop on body images.

In light of these projected measures, 30 students at CSUSM were surveyed on their desire to have children. Questions asked if they are parents, their marital status before or after having children, how many children they would like to have and whether the recession plays a part in making choices to start a family. Twenty students stated that they had interest in having children, and of those 20, four individuals stated that they would be willing to adopt. They equally state that society is overpopulated and there are many children that need families. "The earth is reaching max capacity. It is no longer necessary to reproduce for survival of the species. Adopt," communications major, Benito Olamendi, said.

What may seem strange and unfamiliar has a remarkable way of bringing together the community. This is one of the fundamental foundations that makes crossfit so effective. Crossfit has recently become a popular group exercise program involving many different exercise routines, weights and movements including barbells, jumping squats and handstand pushups. It is different f rom that of a traditional gym because people are not only there to get better themselves, but everyone is working together to advance the entire group. It prides itself on the communal aspect, because it gives people the support and encouragement needed to continue to benefit their S tretching a t t he c ross f it g ym.

Although it is a program focused on strength and conditioning, one of the principles of crossfit is that it does not specialize in any particular sport or target muscles. Each class is different in that it changes its routines and exercises so that you are always gaining new experiences. Crossfit encourages individuals to push themselves and continues to challenge u MING your body to adapt to increased demands. "It never gets easier, and that's why people keep coming back," James, an instructor from Crossfit Mission Gorge, said. Due to its wide variety of exercises and team effort, Crossfit is ideal for any committed individual that is willing to try a new way of exercising that is unlikely to become boring.

This season the women have returners who did really well last year such as Kelly Thompson who was third in the 5k, Brianny Williams who was fifth in the hurdles and Amber Rosario who was an All American in the 4x400 relay team and in the 100 meter hurdles. With all of the strong returners and new athletes adding to the equation, the women's team has the potential to be even more competitive than they were last year. As for the men, this season CSUSM has the whole team back. This includes Maurice Strickland, who was an All American in the decathlon, the 4X800 and the 4x400. The men will have their first meet Feb. 22 in Claremont at the Rossi Relays. From the looks of all the returners and new members of this year's team, the men and women should both do even better this season. 7:30 pm February 15 S wanson a nd Reyes r unning f o r t he f inish, p rovided b y C SUSM a thletic 2:00 pm February 5 This track season is beginning to ramp up, with the women having already started and the men soon to follow. There should be a lot of notable action to look out for this year with returning and new talent on both sides. Brittany Hollie and Brianny Williams started the season off in style with excellent performances at the Azusa Pacific Indoor All-Comers meet. Both placed second in their qualifying heats, and then ended up with the third place overall time from Hollie and a fourth place time from Williams. An eye should definitely be kept out for both of these athletes this year. Hollie has already earned an automatic spot in the NALA National Championships with her first performance as a Cougar. Williams is eligible for nationals from her performance in the 2013 Indoor Nationals. "We have athletes who have their events on lock which is Kelly Thompson in the 3k, Heidi Swanson in the mile, the women's 4x800 team, the women's 4x400 team and the distance medley relay should all qualify," head coach Steve Scott said.

"With that said, I will have children someday, hopefully while married, but if not, I'll still be the best mom ever. I want to have two or more children as I'm interested in being a foster parent."

The average number of desired children among people that do want to reproduce is two. "I want to be able to give my children all the advantages I didn't have and hopefully they can make a bigger difference in the world for the better. I would like to have a child with or without the married label as long as my significant other is willing to help," psychology major, David Acosta said. 16 out of 30 surveyors state that the recession and socioeconomic climate of society has nothing to do with their decisions to have children. Half of the individuals interviewed state that the socioeconomic condition does not affect their choice to get married. All 30 participants, however, are college students that will most likely make more money after getting their degree than if they had not. CSUSM appears to be contradictory to Census projections for the social drive to reproduce. If the present birth rate continues or escalates in depletion, America will soon experience youth as the minority and the weight of society will once again rest on its elders. �Features Editor: Amanda Lenox cougarchron.features@gmail.com Nursing Beat Starting out for Spring 2014 B Y MEGAN HABEGER NURSING C OLUMNIST The year 2014 promises to be a momentous year f or many of CSUSM's students, whether they are excited to be starting their first semester at the university or are preparing f or a long-anticipated graduation. For the pre-nursing students, they may be hoping that this is the year they finally get accepted into nursing school! However, in addition to focusing on those last f ew prerequisite classes that are needed to meet the application requirements, there are a few extra steps that pre-nursing students can be taking even now to improve their experiences once they do get into the nursing program. First: Learn to be a team player! Nursing students quickly realize that the independent study habits that got them good grades in all their other classes do not necessarily equate to success. The structure of the nursing program is such that students are thrown together for two to three years (depending on the specific program) of constant group papers and projects. If they are not handled properly, these group assignments can be a major source of stress and even resentment between classmates. Therefore, rather than always relying solely on yourself in order to avoid the potential headache of group work, start taking advantage of any and all opportunities to improve your teamwork skills of communication and coordination with your peers. When in a group setting, practice being assertive in speaking up if there is an inappropriate distribution of the workload. Also be able to discuss potential problems calmly and respectfully rather than allowing frustrations to escalate. Learn to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of both yourself and those you work with so your team can make the most effective use of each other's abilities. The second, related, tip is: Become an APA master! You may have had some casual exposure to various formatting guidelines in previous classes, but once you are in the nursing program (as with all the sciences) you need to develop an intimate familiarity with the formatting style of the American Psychological Association (APA). With an overwhelming number of papers, care plans and exams to keep up with every week, you will not have much time to spare for figuring out what to include on a title page or how to properly create in-text citations. If you have mastered the rules of APA formatting ahead of time, you will not only be doing yourself a favor, but you will quickly become a valuable resource for your classmates. Lastly, one of the best things you can do to prepare yourself is to gain hands-on experience by working or volunteering in a healthcare setting. Not only do volunteer hours help you earn points for the nursing program application, but more importantly, you gain valuable insight into the reality of life as a health care professional. Reading and studying about Clostridium difficile in a microbiology class is one thing, but experiencing the smell of a patient with C. diff for the first time is what will really help you determine if nursing is for you! Additionally, simply becoming familiar with the terminology, equipment and the roles of the various members of the healthcare team will prove to be an invaluable advantage in minimizing the terror and confusion that inevitably washes over each and every nursing student when they show up in a foreign environment for their first day of clinicals! Of course, each student will have to make their own way, whether through Nursing School or any other program, but hopefully by taking advantage of the tips and tricks that others have discovered through personal experience, future students can avoid unnecessary frustrations and make this year a success!

Restaurant Review Trying out t he new Habit Burger Grill B Y RICO PALMERIN SENIOR STAFF W RITER Located hardly 10 minutes from CSUSM campus, the Habit Burger Grill provides a refreshing and inexpensive food stop. On the menu, the Habit flaunts the slogan "There's no substitute for quality!" Rest assured, the small restaurant takes its slogan seriously. With virtually all of the menu being under 10 bucks, the Habit is the perfect place for any college student looking for an affordable and filling meal. The Habit goes for a mix between beachside grill and modern restaurant with metallic high chairs, wood floors and tables and various, small lighting. Providing an easy-going mood, the Habit plays a mixture of soft rock and rock music and has several beach-themed paintings on the walls. As for the food and menu, the Habit is strikingly reminiscent of the popular fast food joint In N Out Burger. The menu can easily be divided into three main categories: Charbugers, grilled sandwiches and fresh salads. Smaller categories include a kids section, sides and cold desserts, such as shakes, malts and cones. The Habit's food is exceptionally prepared and arrives with that look that says "we took care to prepare this"— as opposed to the fast food look of "we made this as fast as we could." Considering flavor, the double Charburger (two ground beef patties) is superb, and the flavor lasts 4 till the final bite. Each burger is customizable and favorites like avocado, mushrooms and bacon can be added for a small fee. Also, the fries aren't bad, just not as memorable as the main course.

The act inspired the originating artist of this particular offense, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, a world renowned contemporary dance choreographer to challenge the world to create their own choreographic piece that emulates sections of her dance company's work and share it with the world. People responded with work that completely changed the appearance of the piece Rosas Danst Rosas, and now, Dr. Karen Schaffman has taken the challenge into the classroom. The new course offered is called VPA 380-25: Dance Ensemble and Repertory, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. in Arts 101. The class emphasizes use of inspirations from choreographies already made. It focuses on appropriation and adaptation of those pieces to make them EXCITED.

S omething t o c onsider w hen s preading t he l ove. P hoto b y A nne H all. V alentine's Day is o verrated --Or is it? B Y A NNE H ALL DESIGN EDITOR Valentine's Day is right around the comer and there are lots of reasons to celebrate this holiday. Personally, I always found The Day to be an excuse for women to make men spend money to pamper them and prove their affections for one extra day out of the year. Many-a-times, I 've seen all hell break loose because that just didn't quite happen for one reason or another and the poor man was left to pay some kind of consequence. Growing up, all that ever really happened on The Day was making pink and red hearts for valentines. Then we would find out who got the most by the end of the day and exchanged candy while the grown-ups left all us kids behind to do whoknows-what without us. That never seemed to be much to look forward to. I have to admit that I did adore the flower deliveries; that part never gets old. As I got older I came to realize that there is so much more to Valentine's Day than passing out decorative cards, stuffing peoples faces with sweets and topping one romantic date after the other. Learning of the Roman Emperor, Claudius H , who made a martyr of one Saint Valentine completely altered my perception of The Day and gave it a new meaning. Claudius forbade young men to wed for the sake of having an abundance of soldiers. This Saint Valentine felt that it was wrong to forbid soldiers from marrying and performed marriage rights in secret, despite Claudius decree. For that, he was imprisoned and beheaded. He sacrificed his life for the sake of defending true love. In some versions of the story, he found love for himself in the process and coined the phrase "Your Valentine." That part I think Hallmark was more responsible for. Of course, Feb. 14 was selected to represent Saint Valentine's Day because it was conveniently the same time frame that pagans celebrated the Lupercalia. It is a holiday that introduces the right of spring and is based on the ideals that being whipped by hides would grant fertility. Many occasions of pairings during this time were told to have ended in marriages. Birds and other animals were also exercising their natural fertility cycles around this timeframe as well. Ironic? I don't think so. I never had celebrated the couples' holiday until I shared them with my best friend, who now just happens to be my husband. Without him, it would just be another day full of people stuffing faces full of sweets and trying to prove their affections where I think they could just do that at any time of life. Yet, I would continue to take a moment of pause for the story of Saint Valentine of Rome and the battles made throughout history for the right to express and live for true love. No matter what, that is always worth celebrating. W iFi m a y p o s e h e a l t h h a z a r d B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER SENIOR STAFF W RITER Constant exposure to WiFi may be negatively impacting student health. Internet access is a main concern for the majority of students, especially with the growing number of classes turning to online resources. The WiFi that allows students to have access to the materials they need can lead to numerous health problems. WiFi uses electromagnetic radiation in order to send signals through the walls of a building and to the computer hooked up to the wireless network. This leads to small doses of EMF radiation exposure. The closer you are to a wireless modem and the more time you spend near a wireless network, the more radiation you are taking in. Many students even have their own WiFi modems within their apartments or homes, exposing them to this electromagnetic radiation at a much closer range. In addition, if this modem is not turned off at night then you are being exposed to small doses of radiation 24/7. The electromagnetic radiation that is released by WiFi modems has prompted some scientists to believe that they cause adverse health effects. Dr. Henry Lai published a study in which he argues that radio frequency radiation, which is released by wireless internet modems as well as cell phones and other forms of wireless technology, cause health effects. These include cancerous tumors and genetic effects, including damage to DNA. Other noted symptoms that are argued to result from wireless modem radia- tion over time are sleep disturbance and an increase of migraines. While the radiation received from wireless modems is at a much smaller dose and not as harmful as the radiation received from cell phones, I still believe that students should try to reduce their exposure time where they can. For students that have their own wireless modems, unplug when not in use to reduce your daily amount of exposure. Try to spend some time outdoors where the radiationnis less potent. I also think that the campus might consider shutting the WiFi off in the student housing areas for a few hours when internet activity is consistently the lowest, allowing students to sleep without the presence of harmful electromagnetic radiation.

Of course, you may be worried because you need your computer to do homework but it needs to be charged. No problem, there are electrical outlets at certain points. If you are hungry swing by one of the restaurants located on the fourth floor. The USU offers sub sandwiches, Mexican food, burgers and Chinese food, pretty much covering the whole spectrum of delicious options. Throughout the building, there are a number of offices for certain departments and orgs, that were set up originally near Craven Hall. These include Student Life and Leadership, the Dean of Trader Joe's implements grocery bag fee Great f ood, p rices a nd e nvironmental c onsciousness •11 * B Y LAURÊN HAMMOND OPINION EDITOR Some Trader Joe's locations throughout California are now charging customers for grocery bags in the hopes of minimizing environmental waste. T J.'s is no stranger to promoting higher standards of consumption. The grocery stores are best recognized for their plethora of cost-efficient organic local meats and produce and their nonGMO ingredients. Stores emphasize the importance of good quality food and service. They even accommodate gluten-free, kosher and plant-based dieters. T J.'s also focuses much of its attention on aiding environmental preservation. According to the website "Eco-conscious," in 1977 T J.'s became the first grocery company to market the sale of reusable shopping bags, a campaign known as "Save a Tree." In Sept. 2012, the company announced their decision to charge cus- P oster r egularly d isplayed a t T rader Joe's l ocations t o r emind c ust o m e r s t o have r euseable bags.

Charges were originally implemented in the Santa Monica location in 2011 after a city ordinance was set in place to eliminate plastic bag waste as well as to help regulate and minimize paper bag usage. Not all areas of Southern California have been affected by the new fee declaration. However, city locations neighboring San Marcos, including Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Gabriel, have implemented charges and the trend is sure to spread towards the San Diego area. The goal of the new bag C ONTACTS csusm.cougarchronide@gmail.com fee is to help decrease paper pollution by promoting the one-time purchase of reusable bags. Although some have noted their distaste for the new charges, this remains a small but effective way for such a popular and renowned corporation to help increase environmental consciousness through its wide array of customers. Waste continues to have a devastating impact on the United States ecosystem. Employing this sort of change will force a sense of awareness at a time when it is imperative for the US population to begin embracing cleaner consumption habits.

Last semester, anytime I 'd walk from the Sprinter station to school, I would see construction on my right and left as I ascended the stairs of Chavez Circle. I never paid this much heed and I didn't care much for whatever they were doing. It was just another ordinary day. With some down time in between classes, I decided to check out the new building. I was more than just mildly surprised. I felt like a kid in a candy store. The USU could aptly be described as a college student's heaven. There are plenty of places to gather and study, but perhaps the best place this time of year is on the green roof. Next to a garden filled with 15 different kinds of plants, this is a wonderful place to get together with friends because it takes into account that we live in California, and weather is swell this time of year. Students and so on. If your favorite club c an't be found near Craven, you might want to stop by here to find it. On the first floor, there is a commuter's lounge made mainly for people on the go. With a vending machine stocked with drinks (but no Pepsi, oddly), places to sit and catch a breath and two microwaves, this is a nice place for anyone to chill at. There is a cafe on the other side of the fourth floor, where you can grab your morning cup of j oe, making three coffee places on campus. Just beyond that there is a convenience store where you can get some supplies for living on your own, like deodorant, instant meals, etc., as well as snacks that you previously were only able to find in on-campus vending machines. There is also a fruit-smoothie bar for students who are health enthusiasts. Don't even get me started on the ballroom; the largest room in any building on campus. Overall, hanging out at the USU is an experience no CSUSM student will want to miss. T UESDAYS NOON - 1 2 : 4 5 P M- A lison Seagle Our office is located in Craven 3500 t he academic year.

The Vagina Monologues originate from the play written by Eve Ensler of the same name. Ensler traveled around the world to conduct a series of interviews, ask-, ing women questions about their lives and sexuality. The answers she received ranged from happy to sad, reflected in the stories that would later become the plays framework. The .Vagina Monologues is £ script that presents the lives and experiences of women across the globe. Performed all around the world, CSUSM will be hosting its own interpretation of the script as has been done in the past. Feminists Unite members Karen Guzman and Ashley Gutierrez have spearheaded the organization of the event and look forward to seeing the performers take to the stage this Valentine's Day. "Most of the performances have an introduction, so someone will give a one minute speech about what is going to come up next. While it is performed in different languages around the world, the script is always the same. You never know what is going to come next. The point of it is to raise awareness about violence against women," Gutierrez said. The Vagina Monologues are typically anywhere between an hour and a half to two hours in duration. This includes an intermission, which this year will include the opportunity to win prizes. There will also be a tabling event beforehand, where students can meet different groups and gather various resources dedicated to social justice. The tabling starts 45 minutes before show time. The Vagina Monologues will take place in English on Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. and in Spanish on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. It will be in the Arts 111 Performance Hall.

The amateur video is seven minutes long and is of a man walking along the Pacifica State Beach in San Francisco with a Geiger counter radiation detector. The detector alarms once he gets closer to the ocean, showing that radiation levels are five times higher than what is typically found in that area. Radiation can affect us all in many ways, causing cancer and even affecting the seafood that we all enjoy, making it toxic for humans to consume. After the video became viral, officials investigated the radiation levels along the pacific. Their response was not as alarming. Dr. Daniel Stram from the University of Southern California is a preventative medicine professor that had studied the effects of radia- tion from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He said the data collected so far on Fukushima does not show a health risk. He believes that there is no way the radiation levels that were detected could affect our seafood. It is comforting to know that government officials have properly tested our beaches, but I still believe that this is something that everyone should keep an eye on.

Using solar panels to power residences and workplaces can help people save money as well as the environment. Solar power can come from many different sources, some of which are much "greener" than others. One of the cleanest forms of energy that is available today is solar energy, which uses solar panels to create electricity from the sun's rays. Solar panels serve as a more positive alternative to coal or nuclear energy as it reduces the amount of greenhouse gases and pollutants that are released into the air. If enough people were to switch to solar energy, this would slow the rate of global warming and fossil fuel consumption. This form of energy is less likely to drain precious resources as the sun is an energy source that is present the majority of the time. There are even technologies available that allow for the storage of electricity generated from the solar panels for use at night or on cloudy and rainy days. Not only do solar panels save the environment, they also save people money. While solar panels can be expensive to install initially depending on the company being used and the type of panel being installed, once the initial payment is taken care of the panels will immediately begin t o save consumers money. According to the newspaper "The Observer," energy prices have increased by approximately 37 percent since Oct. 2010. These price increases on electricity do not apply to solar panels. There are even federal and state incentives that allow for people with solar panels to save additional money through tax breaks and other methods depending on where you live. I believe that more people should switch to solar energy. Although solar energy is not necessarily cheap to begin with, it ends up saving money in the long run and requires little to no maintenance depending on the type of panels purchased. More important than the financial savings, solar panels are better for the environment and much safer than the majority of the methods currently used to provide the United States with energy. Improvements are constantly being made to solar panels to help produce newer and more efficient models and at an international level. Solar energy could help to slow global wanning by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the consumption of fossil fuels. üf '«lé H omes a re n o w b eing b uilt w i t h s olar panels a lready i ncluded o n t h e h omes.

B Y FAITH ORCINO A &E EDITOR While fans of the Avatar series wait for Book Three of "The Legend of Korra," they can grab copies of the AILA comics. First released in 2012, show co-creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko teamed up with writer Gene Luen Yang and artist duo Gurihuri to tell the epi- logue of Airbender. The tale of Aang and his friends continued in Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise, which takes place around a year after the television series 2008 finale. The team must settle disputes between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation. Last year, Dark Horse published the epilogue's next installment, The Search. This story arc concerned one of the questions fans asked the most: "What happened to Zuko's mom?" Writer Gene Luen Yang, 2007 Eisner Award winner for American Born Chinese, and Gurihiru, who previously worked with Marvel, were veterans of the comic/ graphic novel industry. Both kept the essence of the show in the comics. The creative team made the books feel like the episodes. Their work brought a nostalgic at- mosphere while also having curiosity to find out what will happen next. There was motion page after page, panel after panel. Each installment of the epilogue is three parts long and Dark Horse will release the first one of The Rift in March. Collected volumes are available for purchase also.

Associated Students, Inc. aims at creating a positive campus experience B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ NEWS EDITOR Whether students are just beginning their academic career at CSUSM or are ready to check into their furthering education, it is never too late to become involved on campus. Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), student government on campus, aims to empower students, giving them a voice on campus as well as providing student advocates. Along with their mission statement of "Serves, Engages and Empowers Students," ASI offers core values in promoting advocacy, communication, diversity, efficiency, social justice, visionary and unity throughout campus. ASI also works through the Gender Equity Center which values feminism and creativity and The LGBTQA Pride Center, providing a community of support and mentorship for LGBTQA students, staff, faculty and allies. The Campus Activity Board (CAB) aims at pro- viding school spirit through campus-wide events geared to creating an inclusive community through students. Cultural Events Specialist for CAB Kat Atienza was inspired to join ASI from her high school experience being involved in ASB. "I've been a member of ASI CAB for two years now and it has helped me grow so much. From my organization skills to communication skills to planning events," said Atienza. "Importantly, all the training that comes along with being a member of ASI helped me understand more about Social Justice and the need for it on this campus. Being in ASI helped me become a better advocate for students. I want their voices to be heard." ASI's goals for this semester are to continue empowering students and be advocates.

The talented baseball player is looking forward to continuing his career at GSUSM this year and seeing his team have a successful season. Question: When did you start playing baseball? Answer: I began playing tee ball when I was 5 years old. Q: Do you currently or have you played any other sports? A: No baseball is the only sport I play, it's the only sport I 'm so passionate about. Q: How has your experience been on CSUSM's team? A: It's been fantastic for only being part of the squad for a semester so far. We have a great coaching staff and a talented group on the field. Q: In what ways do you think you have improved? A: Coach Clements has brought a whole new approach to my attention with fine focus and details that I probably wouldn't have even thought about before. He teaches in a way [that] allows you to simplify the game. Q: What are some of your goals for this season? A: I 'm actually undergoing season ending surgery on my throwing shoulder. But I still plan on supporting my team from the dugout and passing on all my knowledge to the younger guys who I will be playing on thefieldwith next year. Q: What is your favorite thing about baseball? A: It's a thinking man's game; it's the only sport that the defense has control of the tempo. Plus the length of a normal baseball season give you plenty of opportunities to redeem yourself since a successful baseball player only gets 3 hits out of every 10 at bats. Q: Who has motivated you the most in your career? A: My head coach from high school. He was the first person to plant the idea in my head that I can play at a collegiate and professional level. That year the Kansas City Royals in the Major League Draft took me in the Photo courtesy of http:// www.csusmcougars.com 48th round in 2008.1 chose to go to school and get an education with a little guidance from Coach Giaime. Q: Do you see baseball as part of your future after college? A: I definitely do see basébail in my future. I still talk with Major League scouts along with having some ties with scouts in Japanese Professional Baseball as well. If neither of these routes work out in my favor I plan on coaching high school baseball at Del Norte High School in San Diego. Q: What is the best adr vice you have ever received from a coach/parent/etc? A: Coach Giaime said something to me when [I was a] junior in high school as I sat at his dinner table in his home. "Do the right thing when no one's watching, [it's the] mark of good character." C SUSM Baseball sweeps Concordia Photo by: Anne Hall Scorching men's basketball winning streak reaches double digits B y A LEX FRANCO S PORTS E DITOR The past two weeks of men's basketball has been more of the same of what we have corile to expect from Coach Jim Saia and the Cougars. The team began a three game stretch on Jan. 23 in a road game against Point Loma Nazarene, which the cougars won 81-64, shooting an astounding 50 percent from the field and hitting 7 three pointers to outpace the Sea Lions of PLNU. Point guard Danny Redmon led all CSUSM scorers with 16 points and 3 assists. Joining Redmon in the double-digit department were forward Jacob Ranger and guard A J . Gaspora scoring 15 and 13 points, respectively. Two days later on Jan. 25, the Cougars hosted UC Santa Cruz in front of a capacity and loud crowd at Mira Costa College. The Banana Slugs kept the game close for the first half as they only trailed the Cougars by 8 at halftime, CSUSM would allow UCSC to stay in the game long when they opened the second half with a run that led to a 31 point lead midway through the second half and never looked back cruising to victory in a blowout and winning the game, 99-56 for their tenth straight victory. Quincy Lawson was the standout performer in the match with 12 points and 12 rebounds, recording the first double-double of the season for any CSUSM player. The game also featured every player on the roster registering a score for the second game in a row and five CSUSM players scoring in double digits. Danny Redmon once again led the team with 19 points followed by Jose Rivera with 15 points. The 43-point margin of victory and 99 points scored overall were both school program records at the time, until the Cougars played their next game. The final game of January proved to be a special one indeed as the Cougars' had a record night for the second straight game trouncing the visiting La Sierra 11171 in front of another large home crowd. The 111 points scored, obliterates the previous school record for total points scored which was set the previous game against UCSC. The 40-point margin of victory fell short of the school record of 43, also set in the previous game. The Cougars came out swinging right from the get go, jumping out on a 12-4 run within minutes of the opening tip-off forcing an early timeout called by La Sierra. CSUSM was up as many as 24 in the first half leading to a 60-38 first half lead at the break. The second half saw much of the same as the cougars kept the pedal to metal and piled the points on, leading by as many as 44 towards the waning minutes of the game . The men's basketball team continued its phenomenal shooting performances over the past few games with another great night of shooting, making 52 percent of their shots taken frorfi the field. Quncy Lawson scored 18 points to lead all scorers in the contest on 9-13 shooting, with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks and 2 steals. A J . Gaspora continued his hot shooting with another double-digit performance, scoring 17 points on. 7-11 shooting and 3-6 from 3-point range. •The games high point was Adam Alfaro's stretch in the second half, where he wouldn't be denied and sunk 4 three point shots in a row on his way to a season high 15 points. Danny Redmon contributed great point guard play, dishing out 9 assists to his teammates, marking it yet another game where all players scored a. point and six players scored in the double digits. The win was the Cougars eleventh in a row and 14 of their last 15 games. The Cougars take to the road for their nextfivegames and won't return home until the final game of the season on Saturday Feb. 23 when they take on Bethesda at Mira Costa college at 7:30 p.m. T HE H E A R T B E A T : Organ donation, giving the gift of life B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF W RITER Cai State San Marcos baseball team beat No. 11 Concordia in both games of a doubleheader, 4-3 and 5-4, to complete a three-game sweep in its opening series of the 2013 season on Saturday Feb. 2 at the CSUSM Baseball Field.

According to the National Institutes of Health, experts say that organs from one person can save or help up to 50 people. Sadly, there is still overwhelming need for donors. Currently, over 118,000 people are waiting for an organ. Of those 118,000 people, 18 will die each day. Astonishingly, one organ donor can save up to eight lives. The first successful organ transplant was a kidney transplant performed in 1954 between two identical twins. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, there have been about 559,000 organ transplantations to date. Considering the overwhelming need, this is not enough; Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2.5 million people die per year in the U.S. alone. Imagine if just 10 percent of these people were organ donors. Don't let the myths surrounding organ donation hinder you from becoming a donor: -Because you are an organ donor does not mean hospital staff will not work as hard to save your life. -Organ and tissue donation does not affect your appearance for a funeral. -You are never too old to donate. -You might think your health stinks; however, chances are pretty slim that your organs would be rejected. To be an organ donor is easy. Simply fill a form on the DMV website and you're finished. Can you really think of a justifiable reason not to donate?

One billion women violated is an atrocity. One billion women dancing is a revolution. With this intriguing premise provided on the CSUSM website by the Gender Equity Center, One Billion Rising is an event that leaps off the page. This worldwide movement seeks to end violence and gender discrimination through raising awareness. If you are a student that is looking for something a bit more meaningful to take part in on Valentine's Day, you are in luck, because the movement is coming to CSUSM. The One Billion Rising event will be held from 11 a.m.to 1 p.m. on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. in front of the library. "Most women suffer abuse or death at the hands of someone who claims th&t they love them. That's why Eve Ensler, the creator of the world-famous Vagina Monologues, came up with the idea of the event on Valentine's Day, which is a day when everyone typically thinks of things like romance and love," Gender Equity Center Director Lea Burgess-Carland said. One Billion Rising brings together hundreds of millions of women from all over the globe so that they can take a day to march, dance and stand for an end to violence towards women. It is an enormous program that does not occur in just one location, and there are centers all over the world where celebrations are being held, including in San Diego. "It's important to bring this event to CSUSM because women in their college years are at the highestriskfor sexual assault. Even one woman sufferingfromsexual assault is too many for me," Gender Violence Educator Raven Gates said.

It is all over the world and is spreading positive energy. And not only will dancing for this cause bring awareness, but it is a lot of fun," Burgess-Carland said. "The silence has to be broken, with students and everyone, taking that first step towards making a change," 6 ,2013 Gates said.

Although we quickly came to reality with some college procedures, it was a new beginning that paved our way to where we are now. In the Fall 2012 semester, Rachel Quam and Joseph Sandoval were honored with the positions of Orientation Team Directors for the 2013-2014 school year. They discuss with the Cougar Chronicle their game plan for the new yedr, as well as the benefits of Student Life and Leadership (SLL). Question: What campus organizations are you involved in?

This green and white painted building, which at first appears to be a bank, is none other than San Marcos' very own Money Pit restaurant. The Money Pit is a traditional American fast food restaurant. It serves classic staples; among them are cheeseburgers, which can be stacked high with four patties and four slices of American cheese. The menu also offers a plethora of other American classic restaurant favorites such as sandwiches with anything you can dream of inside, salads loaded to the brim, chicken strips, hot dogs, corn dogs, handscooped milk shakes and everything in between. "We come here because it's amazing food at an unbeatable price. I would say it's right up there with In-N-Out Burger as far as taste goes," two customers, who frequently visit the restaurant regularly, said. Money Pit really takes its name to heart when it comes to restaurant decor. They have literally decorated every inch of the dining room with anything and everything money or financially related, from the floors covered with coins to the walls full of movie posters related to money and old American antiques.

Don't throw things up in the air. If you're intending to do something for Valentine's Day, at least make some sort of plan for the day. Don't wing it just because spontaneity is romantic. There is a possibility that things just won't work out, and it woyldn't look like the thought that should count was put into the day. We also cannot stress it enough to not use this day as a cover for ulterior motives. Regardless of the level of intelligence of your somewhat-significant other, no one enjoys being played for benefit of another's fiilfilled desires. Keep both parties involved in mind, and always make certain that everything is done out of true and honest feelings, not just obligation. That all in mind, we wish you a wonderful Valentine's Day! And for all you single people, don't worry! At least you're not draining both your wallet and wit to stress yourself over the wants of another. Stress isn't good for that attractiveness you have.

Alcohol on campus could either drastically change our campus* safety and reputation or be an added benefit to " fun times'' on campus and draw more students. The Cougar Chronicle's editors weigh in on whether or not they think CSUSM should allow alcohol on campus. campus. -News Editor Melissa Martinez We should have a wet campus because school gets hectic and a drink at the end of the day could really do us all some good. Being a wet campus will create more of a campus life and have a better student life than what we have already. It will also drive more attendance at campus events because alcohol will be served and it can be very easily regulated because nothing drives students to events more than free food I believe that while than alcoholic beverages. CSUSM is still expanding, -Sports Editor we should remain a dry camAlex Franco pus. Our campus is small and Straying from a 'dry camunfortunately we've already pus' is not the best idea.

As it is, I am sure a good part of the reason why we are the safest California university is because we have no alcohol anywhere around. I know that the crime rate would probably go up if alcohol were to be allowed, andjthe number of DUI's on campus and the surrounding areas would most definitely go up. Alcohol on campus is a bad idea and I hope they don't allow it. -Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell I think CSUSM should be a wet campus. After all we are college students and this is our time to experiment. We have the University Police Department to protect us. Just because a school is considered a "wet campus" doesn't mean that studentswon't be getting carded. We are all here to get degrees and work hard for our future but drinking with friends has always been a college past time that the school should embrace. I don't encourage drinking for everyone but for those that do, I 'm sure it would be favored. -A & E Editor Juliana Stump C OUGAR C HRONICLE S TAFF E DITORS-IN-CHIEF Kristin Melody & Morgan Hall DESIGN EDITOR A & E EDITOR Juliana Stumpp C OPY EDITOR Morgan Hall Keandre Williams-Chambers N E W S EDITOR D ISTRIBUTION M ANAGER Melissa Martinez S P O R T S EDITOR Jessie Gambrell S ALES R EP Alex Franco Rogers Jaflfarian F EATURES EDITOR C ARTOONISTS Katlin Sweeney O PINION EDITOR Jessie Gambrell Faith Orcino A CADEMIC A DVISOR Pam Kragen P HOTOGRAP'HERS Anne Hall S TAFF Alfredo Aguilar Curtis Bovee Ryan Downs Jason Gonzales Karia Reyes Alison Seagle Kia Washington Surprisingly, it is that time of year. It has subtly taken us all by storm, and a great deal of us are at a loss for how to feel about this lovey-dovey celebration. But what should we feel? How many of us actually remember the history of Valentine's Day? To be quite honest, I know very little other than speculation and what I 've been told. Nonetheless, each and every description I 've heard involves "love" to a degree, and is often more keen on romantic love. Doing a broad online search, I 've discovered tidbits of information. There are many claims that the day is a celebration of Saint Valentine, patron saint of love, young people and happy marriages whose feast day is on Feb. 14. Some say that it involves a pre-Roman fertility festival that encompassed three days, taking place for the purging of evil spirits and deeds through sacrifice and blessings. Others involve theories of its fabrication into the capital world to ensure economic strength in an otherwise "dry spell" of holidays. What really gets me is the general agitation and apathy that is felt towards Val- entine's Day in the modern day-and-age. People regard it with disdain when they are without one to call their own, or with anxiety when romantically involved with another. There is stress all around, brought on by the almost unreal expectations. Let's be honest. For those of you who have a significant other, you may say that this day is not all that important, but this day has some amount of observance simply in the essence it gives o ff. It's the so-called day of love, so of course some people expect at least some opportunistic displays of love on this day. And J can imagine there is a good amount of disappointment when or if it doesn't happen. As for all the happily single people, and those who profess this day to be "Singles Awareness Day," I think the resentment has something to do with it, I mean, come on. Whose day wouldn't be considerably brightened some sudden and unprovoked proclamation of love on a momentous day? I can honestly say my world would tilt on its axis if that happened to me. I stand in my belief that this is simply a slightly more special day because of the heavy - emotional overtones everywhere. I can't ignore it; it's quite impossible. I can imagine that many times throughout the day, I 'll be greeted by unrealisticallyshaped cardio organs, sickening shades of pink and red and people being, as I said, lovey-dovey all over the place. Ah, h ow.. .lovely. That being said, Valentine's Day is a day in recognition by many people across the country and, furthermore, around the world. I can't deny its existence, and have little reason to be at odds against it for anything other than my own personal reasons. But I 've yet to decide whether I want to bahhumbug it out or play Cupid for a day. Decisions, decisions. Cougar asks: what are y our plans for Valentine's Day?

"Tattoos on the Heart" is on Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. at the CSUSM Pavillion in Lot N off of Campus View Dr. One of the first events of the Arts & Lectures series scheduled for this spring, "Tattoos on the Heart" is the product of the hard work of Father Gregory Boyle. The lecture follows his journey to prevent the increase of youth either in risk of becoming or currently involved in gangs in East Los Angeles' barrio communities: He has dedicated 25 years of his life tofindingout what triggers an adolescents' desire to join a gang, and to finding ways to motivate youth to see other avenues of life for themselves. Having spoken to and worked with many of those heavily affected by gang violence, Father Boyle provides valuable insight int<* the world beyond what many people see. Since starting out in 1988, his efforts to spark change evolved into the creation of Homeboy Industries. Its existence has made a tremendous impact in the community, further contributing*to the decrease of youth involved in gangs. Besides his intervention programs, Boyle's impressive success has spanned numerous categories. His novel, "Tattoos on the Heart: The Boundless Power of Compassion," which contributes to the lecture's title, is a New York Times bestseller. In addition to this, he has been recognized for his work with at-risk youth, which earned him a spot in the California Hall of Fame.

Whether in a relationship or not, Shannon Fox and Celeste Liversidge's book, "Last One Down the Aisle Wins" is a great guidebook f or anyone navigating their 20s. Though the authors write to a female audience, the advice given in the book is really applicable to both genders. After the authors point 6ut some statistics that state the chances of staying married double if you get married after the age of 25, and they review their top 10 reasons why people get married too young, they go on to cover 10 keys for having an awesome journey through: your 20s. Topics throughout the book include: friendships, family life, career path, finances, emotional management, body image, independence, spirituality, sex and adventure. Each chapter has quizzes so the reader can get a feel for where they stand on the topic. It also gives real-world accounts of others who have made mistakes and offers ad- vice for how the reader can figure out what track they want to get on and how to make it happen for themselves. The authors also include their personal insights from time to time. Shannon Fox is a marriage counselor and Celeste Liversidge is a lawyer who practices family law. Both women have seen their fair share of clients whose marriages have gone bad, which is what inspired them to write this book. So whether someone is happily head-over-heels in a relationship and just needs a reality check, or someone probably never seen " Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind** (2004) 1 After Joel (played by Jim Carrey) finds out Clementine (played by Kate Winslet), his new, interesting significant other has had a procedure to delete him from her memory; he attempts to do the same.

Writer Kurds J . Webe and artist Aluisio C. Santos po-created "Grim Leaper," a four-issue story which independent comic publishers Image and Shadowline released in 2012. Readers enter the strange life, or rather lives of Lou Collins. He is trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, taking over the lives of others and trying to survive the fate of this curse. Shortly after his 13th funeral, Lou meets Ella, a woman with the same curse as him. The two do their best to find an end to the curse while staying alive, f or at least longer than their previous life. The series is not for the light-hearted. There are a number of graphic scenes, most concerning Lou's and Ella's deaths, and is also filled with crude language. The comic i s more orientated to mature readers and those who can handle a; bit of blood and guts. Still,;the story has an interesting way of handling the idea of love. Santos's art is complementary to Webe's writing, especially with the unique color schemes and composition of the panels.

B rown proposes new budget in s upport o f CSU system B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ N EWS EDITOR Last fall, Governor Jerry Brown gained the support of California State University students with his new budget proposals aimed at keeping tuition from increasing. With the success of Prop. 30, some CSU students received a reimbursement of $249, or nine percent of what tuition was raised in fall 2012. With the start of the new year, Gov. Brown released his 2013-2014 proposal for the state budget, including $125.1 million in funding towards the CSU system. Gov. Brown stated that $10 million of the proposed budget will benefit students for advancing through their degree program without having to deal with "bottleneck" courses, which often causes the students degree progress to be extended longer than anticipated because they are waiting for a particular lower division classes or prerequisite for their major. Governor Jerry Brown addressing the budget. Gov. Brown's support for the CSU system is needed, since it has continuously lost financial support over the last several years. According to a press release of CSU Public Affairs, the-CSU has lost more than 30 percent of state funding. CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White has stated, "We appreciate the Governor's recognition that California will benefit from the investment of state funds into higher education. The proposed budget heads us in the right direction. It will allow the CSU to address the unprecedented demand for high quality education at our institutions, as well as areas of critical need. We still face many fiscal challenges and will continue efforts to operate efficiently and effectively, and seek out additional innovative ways to control costs." 01 l - G / i l « (HOME OF YEAR-ROUND BUYBACKS) iffllfll HOI Off-Campus Books now carries textbooks for C SUSM! 1450 West Mission Road, San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 5 98-2665 CASA GRANDE $795 1 B E D R O O M FROM $ 8 9 5 2 B E D R O O M FROM $ 1 0 5 0 - Spacious Floor Plans - G ated Community ~ Laundry Facilites - Patios/Balcomies - Recreation Room/Library Near Shopping & Entertainment - Near Military Bases - Cats & Small Dogs Welcome STUDIOS FROM A partment Homes Call t oday for special offers 4 5 5 E W ASHINGTON ESCONDIDO, I H H I >vt ' "I CA >', 92025 Ì J > ' ' " j j i M f f l i i IfiBHjj^B 760-745-7766 " I f f ^yCou found hronicle K C us in the ougar Please m ention that JHHHBBBHBS^ vvww.casagrandeapartmenthomes.com L I V E T H E L I F E Y OU D E S E R V E ! �SPORTS THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23,2013 Sports Editor: Alex Franco cougarchron.sports@gmail.com 3 T HE H EART BEAT: Athlete spotlight: Bridgette Stevens Healthy eating is only half the battle Distance runner f or track & field B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF WRITER It has become obvious that portion sizes have gotten larger over the decades-throughout restaurants and grocery stores. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately one-fifth of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years old are obese. Portion sizes have certainly fueled this obesity epidemic. According to the American Dietetic Association, the size of dinner plates has increased by 36 percent over the last decade. It is no secret, that more food on your plate, the more you will eat. Making less food every meal is a great way to combat portion control issues. Having an abundance of food at the dinner table is far worse than not having enough, which in all actuality is probably enough. From the lack of nutritional food offered to the overwhelmingly large portion sizes, America's restaurants are contributing to the obesity problem rather than helping it. For example, at Outback Steakhouse, a popular chain-restaurant throughout the globe, an order of MacA-Roo 'N Cheese yields over 600 calories, with greater than 220 of those from fat. It is safe to say that this menu item is popular a mo n g s t the youngsters; however, there is no reason why an 8 year old should consume all of this in one sitting. Solution? Allow your child to eat less than half, and order a side of vegetables. Your caloric total will still be around half of the entire portion, while offering nutritional value. Importantly, don't forget about what is on your plate. Just because you are eating less doesn't give you permission to eat anything. The USDA recommends that half your plate should be fruits and vegetables. For the remainder of your plate, about half should be a protein source and the other half should be whole grains. Using this as a template should make it easy to determine how much of each kind of food you should be consuming. When attempting to eat less, cravings are inevitable, thus stressing the importance of snacking. To help with portion control, try eating snacks throughout the day. Include things like fruit and vegetables, and foods with healthy fats like nuts. Nuts, B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL OPINION EDITOR including walnuts, pecans and almonds offer healthy fats, keep you fuller longer and are easy to pack and take anywhere. What you are drinking is just as important. Soda is incredibly harmful to your health, and is over-consumed in America because it is cheap and easily accessible. Most sit-down restaurants offer free refills of soft beverages, which seems inexcusable given the large glass sizes. Did you know that one can of Coca Cola contains the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar? Replacing soft drinks with water at the dinner table can drastically decrease chances of obesity and rapidly improve health. Remember, portion cpntrol is not easy. Fortunately, it is far better for your health than some fad diet and it is something you can practice forever to improve your health. Bridgette Stevens has been running for CSUSM for her entire four year college career. She has been competitively running since middle school, but has always loved to run.

For the past couple of years now, this song has been played to bring people together and enjoying being in each other's company. As college students, we study hard during the week but live for the weekends when we can have fun, a concept that entrepreneur Ryan Craig understands. Craig, a San Diego State student who transferred from Palomar community college, created his own clothing company, "Red Cup Tour," which illustrates our generation with Ae depiction qf the infamous plastic red cup. With the company's website up and running, as well as stylish shirts available for purchase, we sat down with the designer. Question: What inspired you to start a clothing company? What does the "Red Cup Tour" represent? Answer: I feel there are all these clothing companies. I wanted to create something about simplicity and relationships, the people you C l e ebrate with. It wasn't about creating a clothing company but the idea~and expanding from that idea. Q: Why did you choose the "red solo cup' as the logo for your brand? A: First off, [red solo cups] are everywhere. It's the universal symbol of people together and having a good time. The line isn't about beer pong or drinking per se but to live life to it's full- Now that the Christmas season has ended and the new semester has begun, giving back to the community and donating to charity is often at the back of people's minds. However, the people in need of your help are not just seasonal based. They are around you at all times, and they include students on campus. Even if you are already busy amidst your homework and classes, here are two easy ways to help the people around you, even if it is just during a study break. One way to immediately give back to the CSUSM student body is by helping Summit Church (across the street from CSUSM and next to The Quad) with their Food Distribution program. Summit is in need of volunteers that are willing to help pass out food to students and people that need it. Volunteers would need to show up at 1:00 p.m. and the actual distribution would take place from 2:00 p jn. to 3:00 p.m. in the Summit Church park- 9 ^ Jpm • • # Entrepreneur Ryan Craig with a shirtfromhis "Red Cup T our clothing line. Photo courtesy of Ryan Craig, est. Our tagline is "Thirst for Life.' That explains it all. Q: How has the journey been from an idea to putting designs together to selling your product? A: It's been a while, actually, a year that I started working on the idea. I found resources from my friends to my family and them helping me out. You just have to tell yourself everyday to do something even if it's going to be a mistake, at least I tried. It takes a lot of planning. It's not just drawing something in class and putting it on a shirt. Q: Where do you get inspiration for your designs? A: I didn't want anything too cheesy. Its just things I find entertaining and think other people would like. I take in the world around and use certain things in my life. Q: How do you balance school and running a business? A: I've never thought I needed to be in school to be successful. I want to create jobs for others and myself. If I had the choice between reading a business book over a textbook, I would choose the business book. In my opinion, education is too 7 streamlined. Ifindit successful to teach yourself. I still have to balance school. For me, school is more networking and I take it upon myself to learn what I need to. Q: What future plans do you have for the "Red Cup Tour"? A: Every clothing line has collections, so I have some upcoming releases seasonally. There will be different designs and clothes, some surprises. Eventually* backpacks and other accessories but I don't want to give too much away. Q: What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs? A: Be a self-learner. You can't completely rely on others to do everything for you but allowing their help. Definitely know your strengths and weaknesses. Find others that can supplement your weaknesses. Also to fail faster, by that I mean learn by failing because it's a quicker path to success. This is the best time to make mistakes.

Beginning in December, the public has been able to experience some of their work up close. Students from Professor Judit Hersko's VSAR 301, "Materials and Structure of Art" course, have been given the unique opportunity to showcase their art to family, friends and members of the community at the Old Restaurant Row CSUSM Gallery.

Visual Arts major Amalia Wood created the piece "Sobering Up," which featured a brightly colored canvas that showed women flying upwards. Liberal Studies major Karissa Bullington contributed two of her dream catchers, the first entitled "Enchanted" and the second called "Birds of a Feather." Visual and Performing Arts major Laura Musgrove created the piece entitled "Resilience," created from wood, paint, the Bible, text, Paper Mache and yarn. "In ["Resilience"] I explored two very vital elements: spirituality and identity. My intention is to awaken the viewer's mind to the contrast I perceive between the negative cultural communications and the uplifting, encouraging and lifegiving truth spoken by God through His Word. I wanted this piece to reflect my personal design aesthetics as well as communicating the underlying theme conceptually," Musgrove said. The ability to show their work in a gallery has moti- vated the students to work even harder on future art pieces. "This was my first time having my artwork shown. It made me feel pretty happy that others could see it; I look forward to making more artworks to show," Wood said. "It was such an amazing opportunity to have my artwork showcased. This was the first time having my work displayed in an art gallery so it was very exciting and I hope to have another chance to do it again!" Bullington said. "I feel very fortunate and I am also appreciative to have had this opportunity to create an art piece that expresses my personal views and my identity both as an artist and person and for it to be showcased in an art gallery located at Restau- rant Row which is a popular area," Musgrove said. To see these and other works created by the VSAR 301 students, visit the CSUSM Art Gallery. The exhibit is open Fridays and Saturdays, Dec. 7 through Jan. 26, from 5 to 8 p.m. It is located at 1080 San Marcos Blvd. Ste 185 (in the Village Shops Area) in San Marcos.

B Y JULIANA STUMPP 40th anniversary of Roe vs. W ade sparks ' Walk for Life' marches A & E EDITOR B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL OPINION EDITOR Over our much-needed winter break, a new process for class registration took place. In late November and early December last semester, the new class registration process restricted you to a limit of 13 units until Dec. 17th, at which time you were able to a dd more classes if need be. Here are some of the students' opinions on this new change in our registration system: On Jan. 22, 1973 the Supreme Court came to a decision on the controversial case of Roe vs. Wade concerning the touchy subject of abortion. Abortion was illegal before this court case controversy came about, but in 1971 a woman tried to get a "legal" abortion claiming that she had been raped. She later confessed that she had lied on matter in order to get an abortion, but did in fact have the baby before the court reached a decision. Another similar case (Doe vs. Bolton - 1973) reopened the case,finallybringing the decision to extend the 14th Amendment of the Right to Privacy for the women to make their own decision to have an abortion. Ever since that decision day on Jan. 22, 1973 the debate still continues on whether or not abortion is a right thing to do. On the "Getting classes wasn't too difficult since I got priority registration because of my class standing. Despite the slight advantage, the unit c ap made it so that it wasn't possible for me to get all my classes, thus I had to strategically pick the classes that I knew would fill up fast," - Pat Tang, biology major "I reckon the people who will be affected the most and worst by the unit c ap are those who are graduating seniors. Though I a m not one of them, I c an sympathize. There are some benefits to the unit c ap. It allows students with lower priority to get some classes, even if it does hinder other's chances," - Viv Nguyen, biology major "The unit c ap sucked. I couldn't wait list enough classes so now I'm stuck with only 12 units," - Jordan Hays, business major "To be honest, I already had a late priority reg? istration date the day before priority registration ended. So, I was already freaking out about getting all my classes. I was not very fond about the unit c ap benefitting me personally because I'm still on the wait list for 2 out of 5 my classes," - Savannah Shick, business major "Well the unit c ap definitely made me prioritize and choose classes based on importance instead of kinda adding a bunch of classes and loading up. I focused more on important classes and it helped me set my priorities. It was kind of beneficial," - Austin Hoover, biology physiology major "It's notrightfor all of us to have to wait for everyone to pick their classes and then pick again later. It should be done on a first come first serve basis. What is the point of priority registration if we are going to be capped off at 13? If I'm paying for all these classes I want to be able to pick as many as I want," - Hunter Chanove, communication major "I guess the only concerns I c ame across was whether or not the classes I needed/wanted were full. Also, there was a concern with the timing of my classes, and whether or not the class I wanted would interfere with the rest of my schedule for this semester," - Zach Wilson, business major ^mmmm^mmmmmm (g i1 1 1 1• 1 W e a sked: D o you feel safe on campus in light of the I 1 8— recent shootings across the country? 16 ,6 • ,2— I 1 E flip I Ö— if 5 4— 2— o— ¡¡¡¡s Yes No u -I Indifferent I In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, (among other horrific shooting as of late), gun control has become a hot topic across the nation. President Obama has proposed 12 congressional actions and 23 executive actions that he feels will combat the issue of gun violence and control in the United States, which has led to nation-wide debate, Here are some opinions from your Cougar Chronicle editors: "As a college student, I feel that gun control is not regulated enough. Though you need background checks to purchase a gun, I highly believe in the regulation of Mental Status Exams that should be required in the purchasing of a gun. I understand that this is a second Amendment right, to bear arms, but tell me, why must we need assault weapons? As someone who has had family members die at the bullet of guns wrongfully purchased, people need to realize the importance of life. How many people have to die for this country to realize the danger we put our children in without regulating gun control?

Facts are facts, but the opinion is yours, is an unborn baby a baby? In the month of January across the nation, religious groups, pro-family advo. cates, and many other prolife people gather to fight for the unborn babies by marching in public with their signs of protest in what they call, "Walk for Life". This year it is the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade so there are anticipated to be more than usual. According to the National Catholic Reporter, tens of thousands of pro-lifers march every year in 'Walk for Life' events to help save the millions of babies being aborted every year. The woman who originally was fighting for abortion, is now Catholic and is fighting in the battle to save the unborn babies as well. "Roe" is pro-life now!

Editors* topics: gun control "My main concern was that I could only sign up for four classes but there was a chance that I needed five due to a concern with a class that's was unsure if I was going to pass. I was also not too crazy about the classes that were available. I was looking through my course catalog at all these classes for my major and hardly any of them were offered. I had already taken most of the classes offered so it was difficult to plan a schedule with the few choices I had left," - Jenica Caruso, communications major. 1 1— 1 1 "Roe" side, people defend it saying that if a woman becomes pregnant and decides she does not want that baby, and then she should have the right to abort it. On the "Wade" side, people say that aborting a baby means killing an innocent human being (since human life begins at conception) and that the if you don't want a baby, either don't have sex or give the baby up for adoption. Some defend the notion of abortion "killing a human baby" saying that unborn babies are not babies, instead a "fetus", "lump of cells" or even "tissue". People who are pro-life strongly oppose this claiming that human life begins at conception, showing the pregnant mothers an ultrasound image of the growing baby inside them proving to the mother that it is not just tissue. In fact in the controversial murder case of Scott Peterson (2005) proves that an unborn baby is a human being since he was Shout o ut! STAFF Curtis Bovee Karla Reyes for you America: would you rather have your "right to bear arms" or see your children reach their next birthday? It's time to prioritize. I know guns don't kill people. People kill people, but can you put a price on saving the life of even one person? Arguing that is selfish. People don't realize the importance of safety until they're burying their children six feet under. Why take the chance?" - News Editor, Melissa Martinez "While creating emergency plans and paying officer salaries are worthwhile causes, the amount of money being spent for these reasons is far more than we can afford during a time of economic hardship. This sounds like another piece of legislature that gives tens of millions of dollars to people that are already doing their jobs and taking these precautions when this money could be better spent. While Obama can be applauded for taking action to preyenf more tragedies like Sandy Hook, there should be a réévaluation of how much money needs to be spent and more of a focus on the other reasonable ideas that he has proposed.

Weekly meetings every foundation for legislation on gun control [background checks and bans on certain guns] makes sense, but the surplus amount of money being spent on police officers, gun control research, and safety plans seems to be a bit outrageous." - Features Editor, Katlin Sweeney "Guns have taken the fall for the terrible, horrific events that have taken place over the past few months, but I must say that (as it says in our Constitution) we have the right to bear arms. I don't think that we need to have automatic guns on the market, because I do not see the logic in having that for hunting, but I do believe that for the sake of the safety of the American people every school, business facility, and home should have, and be trained how to use, a hand gun. You never know who just may be walking in the door. I also think that we should start having Mental Status Exams for every gun purchase.

The main character, R, who can't remember his real name or how he became a zfcmbie, has been spending possibly years in the confines of an airport, which he and hundreds of other zombies call home and have formed a community. R is different than his fellow zombies and has developed a unique personality and strives to figure out his purpose in life. Not being able to hold long thoughts down or speak words with more than three syllables, R personally enjoys riding the airport escalators for hours or spending time with his friend and fel- low zombie M. R and M also take occasional trips to the outside city to hunt and feast on the brains and bodies of the "Living/' which R is not particularly found of. On one trip, R and his fellow zombiesfinda small group of the living and begin feasting. As he starts consuming one man's brains, he sees these vivid memories from that man's life and feels this deep connection to that man's girlfriend, Julie, which he falls in love with. During their time together R, slowly begins to transform himself and starts to break away from the typical zombie tendencies and changes those around him to become more human like. "Warm Bodies" is an easy read, with a great love story from start to finish -with a killer ending. It's a novel that will put life and death in perspective and will al- low the reader to see that just because you are a zombie doesn't mean you have to act like one. Be warned, this book is not for the faint of heart due to its graphic nature and harsh language.

Previously our campus provided a variety of brands of beverages, but now, through an agreement between University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporation (UARSC) and PepsiCo, our school has accepted PepsiCo as our sole beverage provider.

All over the campus, the beverage departments have received makeovers. The vending machines have a new look and are more technologically advanced in that they now accept debit and credit cards. "The vending machines are .more modern, and I really like the Pepsi products better," freshman Koresh Dashtizadeh said. The beverage switch to PepsiCo is cheaper in the stores, but costs an extra 25 cents in the vending machines. The ne\# soda change features Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Crush, Aquafina, SoBe, Lipton, Gatorade, AMP and Rockstar.

For a campus the size of Cal State San Marcos, that means about 20 students are carrying the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which without treatment causes AIDS, according to American College Health Association. Although the transmission of HIV has slowed since it was epidemic in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it still remains a potent force on college campuses. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, young people ages 13 to 29 accounted for 39 percent of all new HIV infections in 2009. The highest rate of infection occurs in people ages 20 to 24, with a disproportionate infection rate among gay and bisexual men and young blacks. AIDS suppresses the body's immune system, making it susceptible to secondary infections. To spread the word about the dangers of HIV, the university's Student Health & Counseling Services (SHCS) department will have free HIV testing from 1 : 1 5 - 4 Pepsi from 1. fountains at The Big Cat Bistro and the Big Gat Market. "I'd rather drink Rockstar than Monster; and I like Pepsi much better," freshman Michael Dalupan said. There is a conflict of preference among the students with regards to the beverage product change. Some students agree and are happy about the new change, but others liked the old, Coca Cola products better. "They used to have Sprite p.m. on Feb. 7. The event is geared toward enrolled students and will include an information fair. HTV testing will be held at the center, which is located just east of campus at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100. Through a partnership with North County Health Services, students can receive free HIV testing with Ora-Quick Rapid, a test that requires just one drop of blood and produces a result in 20 minutes. The testing is anonymous, meaning that the results of the HIV test will not be entered intQ the student's medical record. The student will be given a code, and only the student and the counselor will know the result of the test. As a result, the test results cannot be linked to the student. Center staff can provide pre-test and post-test counseling, as well as referrals to trained counselors. Free testing services will be offered on the first Tuesdays of each month from 1:15 to 4 p.m. Upcoming dates are March 6, April 3 and May 1. No appointments are required. Service is first come, first served. The center can be reached at 760-750-4915. and now they have Mountain Dew and its not that great" student Ramon Villhgoz said. This alignment of enterprises has turned out to be successful so far, and now UARSC is set to start the same process for all the food vending machines on campus.

"As a consequence of failing to act, there will continue to be a safe haven for foreign thieves; American jobs will continue to be lost; and consumers will continue to be exposed to fraudulent and dangerous products peddled by foreign criminals" said Senator Chris Dodd, Chairman of Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). "Online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expres- sion, increases cyber security risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet" said Victoria Espinel, the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator for The White House.

AB 130, better known as the Dream Act, has been a hot topic on campus since Governor Jerry Brown signed it into law last year. It allows illegal aliens who've attended California public schools for at least three years and graduated from a California high school to apply for state-funded financial aid at UC and CSU campuses as well as community colleges. Tim Torlakson, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, said the Dream Act will help many young Californians afford a college education that was previously out of reach. "Our goal for the new year and every year is to make education accessible and effective for all children," Torlakson said in a statement. "These new laws will help ensure children are safer, enter kindergarten at the appropriate age, learn what they need to know to succeed in life and careers, and fulfill the dream of a college education." Cal State San Marcos spokeswoman Margaret Lutz said some other new laws that also may affect students here are AB 194, which offers priority enrollment to any former foster at any CSU, UC or community college campuses through 2017, and SB813, which grants priority enrollment to former members of the military (within four years of leaving active-duty service). Other new laws on the California books this year include: •A ban on the sale of caffeinated beer •A requirement that schools intervene in cases of bullying of gay students •A restriction on the sale of cough syrup containing destromethorphan (found in Dimetapp, NyQuil and other over-the-counter products) •A ban on the sale of shark fins (used as a delicacy in soups by the Chinese) •Governments or other agencies cannot gather information on people's online reading habits without a court order •Mandatory instruction in the public schools on the contributions of gay people •A ban on allowing employers to check applicants' credit reports •Student athletes who sustain a possible concussion cannot play until receiving a doctor's clearance, •A ban on the use of tanning beds by anyone under the age of 18 •A requirement that children under the age of 8 must be restrained in a booster seat while riding in the car •A ban on therightof citizens to openly carry handguns •A requirement that apartment buildings begin recycling programs •Police can no longer impound a vehicle at a sobriety checkpoint if the driver's only guilty of driving without a license �S ECTIO N E DITO R A LE X F RANC O cougarchron.sportsQgmail.com T h e C ouga r C hronicl e / J anuar y 3 , 0 2 12 1 SpQRJ ^ A LE X F RANC O STAFF W RITE R After what has been a season to remember, the 2011 NFL season will culminate in Indianapolis with Super Bowl XLVI. With the season full of prolific passers leading their teams to victory and breaking records left and right, it's no wonder that this year's Big Game will feature two of the league's best quarterbacks when Eli Manning's NY Giants (9-7) representing the NFC take on Tom Brady's New England - Patriots (13-3) of the AFC. The Giants, San Francisco 49ers in the conference championship to reach their fifth Super Bowl in franchise history, winning three of their previous four appearances. The Patriots will be making their seventh super bowl appearance, their fifth appearance since 2001, winning three out of the six. Tom Brady of The Patriot s be looking to win his fourth Super Bowl ring and solidify his hall of fame status in football lore; with a win next Sunday, he will surpass Joe Montana as the quarterback with the most playoff victories with 17. Eli Manning is also looking for his second Super Bowl title, and could become the Manning brother with the most Super Bowl titles with a win against the Pats. will This isn't the first time these two quarterbacks have met in the league's title game, the two teams met four years ago in Super Bowl XLII, where Giants upset the Patriots, 17-14 and thwarted New England's run at a perfect season. If history tells us anything, then the Patriots should come out champions. In their last super bowl meeting, the Patriots' loss to the Giants after already beating them earlier in the regular season. This year they met again in the ular season with the "iwmm m considered the hottest team entering the playoffs as the fourth seeded team, beat the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC wild card round, the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round * Men's Basketball Record giants coming out the victors in that meeting meaning the patriots should prevail. The Patriots are three point favorites in the Las Vegas line. This is not surprising considering these two high power offenses have the potential to put up points in bunches and should go down to the wire, as it did when they last met. Look for the Pat's defenbacks to have their Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots look to avenge their super bowl loss this time around when they meet Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, ID.

After much customer feedback requesting a relaxing evening atmosphere in their stores, Starbucks has responded by offering this transition which is said to occur by the end of the year. Starbucks intends for these expansions to take place at five to seven stores in Chicago and four to six stores each in Atlanta and Southern California. In October 2010, a location on Olive Way in Seattle, WA began successfully experimenting with this "evening day-part" concept of serving beer and wine, as well as pre- mium foods. Currently there are five stores in the Seattle area and one store in Portland, OR which have adapted to this expanded menu. On the Starbucks News page, spokesman Zack Hutson wrote, "The wine and beer list will be hand-selected to reflect local customer tastes and preferences." He went on to share that stores will also incorporate flexible seating to accommodate individuals, small groups and larger parties. "At select stores where it is relevant for the neighborhood, we are focused on creating an atmosphere where our customers can relax with a friend, a small bite to eat and a cup of coffee or glass of wine," senior vice president of U.S. Operations, ClariceuTurner said. Construction is currently underway at Palomar College as a new planetarium is being built to replace the former planetarium, which was demolished in 2008. The presence of the new building, which will be located in a different area of the school than the previous one, will lead to an expansion of the Palomar campus. According to the webpage for the new Palomar College Planetarium, funds received from the passing of Proposition M in 2006 have allowed this development to take place. The webpage art, open to the college and the general public. The webpage also features a New Planetarium Construction Blog, which features descriptions, photographs and videos depicting the construction taking place. In the blog posts, it is revealed that the planetarium will possess such features as a 50-foot dome, 142 seats and a Digistar 4 projection system with surround sound and LED lights. According to "The Starry Messenger," Palomar's official planetarium newsletter, the new planetarium will offer shows to the public regularly, guided tours of the current night sky and topical shows about popular subjects of astronomy. The most recent developments to take place at the construction site have been associated with landscaping, carpet installation, fire-lifesafety work and audiovisual technology.

Following her arrival to the university in fall 2011, this will mark the debut performance of Cheng on campus. The concert will be a musical journeyfromthe classical era to modern romanticism, featuring compositions from Haydn, Chopin, Ravel and Busoni. Although she started piano lessons at the age offive,it was around the second or third grade when a teacher suggested that Cheng audition for a musical program that offered formal training at no charge to those selected. It was at her teacher's suggestion that Cheng felt a sense of maturity in her training . Cheng has since grown into an experienced performer with such credentials as having been part of the New World Symphony as a keyboardist and in the Taipei Century Symphony and National Symphony Orchestra playing the double bass. Prior to joining the faculty at CSUSM, Cheng taught in the music department at Humboldt State University. Even though she felt it was a great program with devoted students, Cheng decided to take an open position as an assistant professor in CSUSM's music department. She has high aspirations for the music department including the recruitment of piano major students and composition students. "I hope we can build a thorough and complete department," Cheng said. The free piano recital will take place Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in Arts Building, room 111. w Send us your * (ove notes and\ w see them in ou^ entines Issue IRGEND Expires: 3 /10/1 2 STEAME MVP Haircut Experience Campus Marketplace 310 S.

[The Bookstore] charges outrageous prices when you can find them so much cheaper on Amazon or online. I had to pay $ 170 for one book because it was a specific addition. - Janneil e Andrews Parking is way too expensive, even a day pass is unbelievable. - Natha n Choi Parking is expensive compared to other Cal State's. What they pay f o r an entire year we pay a semester, i t's unfair to pay double and be at a smaller campus.

T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE / JANUARY c ougarchron.opinion@gmail.co m 31,2012 Tales f ro m t h e n er d side "Star Wars: The Old Republic"- The forc e is s tron g w it h t hi s o n e CHRIS GIANCAMILH STAFF WRITER On Dec. 20, the gaming world saw the release of "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and since then it has quickly become one of the biggest massive multiplayer online (MMO) games of all time. With a heavy emphasis on story, Bio ware's latest venture is keeping gamers, such as myself, thoroughly engaged in the Star Wars universe. "The Old Republic" takes place several thousands of years before the events of the films during a time of galactic unrest. The game is a sequel to Bioware's single-player role playing games (RPG) "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and "Knights of the Old Republic H." In "The Old Republic," the Sith Empire has reclaimed their home world of Korriban and the Galactic Republic was forced to retreat to the planet Tython. Players join either the Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic. Within the Sith Empire, players are given the choice of four main classes: Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter, or Imperial Agent. Those who join the Galactic Republic can choose to be a Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler, or Trooper. Players can customize their characters appearance and choose from a number of races familiar to Star Wars fans. Though the game plays much like other MMOs, "The Old Republic" differs by giving players dialogue options during cutscenes which can alter the outcome and rewards of missions. Some scenes also have lightside and darkside choices. Gaining lightside or darkside points can open up more weapon and armor options. Throughout their storyline, players will meet Non-Player Character (NPC) companions who will aid them in combat. Each NPC companion is unique to the player's class. Companions each have their own special roles. For example, some are attack oriented, others have high defense, and some heal the player. Players are limited to one companion's assistance at a time. Space combat is another unique feature to the game. Players are given their own spaceship to travel to other planets and upgrade to engage in space combat missions. The space combat missions take pltfce in a set path, but players can somewhat maneuver their ship to dodge obstacles. Ship upgrades work much like item upgrades to characters themselves. Some upgrades boost attack power or defensive power. However, most of the game takes place on foot. "The Old Republic" has players hoofing their way through Sith temples, ing grounds, and mercenary infested lairs. Currently, players can explore over 15 planets each with several hours of gameplay to complete. With strong support from its developer through weekly patches and update content, "Star Wars: The Old Republic" is keeping players returning for more. The added depth to the Star Wars mythos is quickly revitalizin g interest in the galaxy far far away. Jedi t rai n Back To School B lues... S till ?

Soon, once all of the initial pressure to get reorganized at university dies down, the time will speed up and we will wonder where it went.

CSUSM faculty raise salary fairness concerns Contract language calls for Campus Salary Equity Program B Y J ASMINE D E M E R S N EWS E DITOR CSUSM faculty and the California Faculty Association are raising concerns over salary inequities throughout the CSUSM campus and the CSU system. The Campus Salary Equity Program, which is a provision included in faculty contracts, says campus presidents have the option to adopt plans to correct salary inequalities. "Unfortunately in the last contract, between 2011 and 2014, no campus presidents across the system went through with this provision," said Darel Engen, Associate Professor of History and the president of the CSUSM Chapter of CFA. Engen said several inequity issues are at play within the salary distribution on campus. One is a salary inversion in which people with less experience and lower around for several years." Last spring, the Academic Senate passed a resolution urging President Karen Haynes to address the CSUSM salS ¡itti ary inequity issues. Although raises of between 1.6 and 3 percent are being given this semester across the board, they do not resolve the CFA and faculty concerns that some faculty members are thousands of dollars behind for their level of experience and education. . ^."..WTy " ^¡Ssfe-áiÉl University administrators told the faculty that the small raises were due to state budget *** mkmm * constraints, despite pressure by the CFA to use other resources to fund the program.

Leadership California, a network of more than 1,500 successful women committed to female leadership in the state, recognize women leaders who create instrumental change in their fields. Alongside the presidents of Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Long Beach, CSU Fullerton, CSU Northridge and Humboldt State, Haynes will be honored with the Trailblazer Award in a ceremony on April 27 in Los Angeles. Prior to her tenure as President of CSUSM since 2004, Haynes has had a successful career in higher education. She received her bachelors degree from Goucher College in Maryland, Masters of Social Work degree from McGill University in Canada and her Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Austin. She went on to become an Assistant Professor at Southwest Texas State University, and Assistant Professor and and first female president of later Associate Professor at CSUSM.

"Glass ceilings and a lack of progress worries me," she said. "There are many more women on university campuses who are reaching full professor positions but we still are about a quarter of all of the presidents. So how much of this is due to the vision of the president position and what it takes? And how much is it the continued, external barriers and stereotypes that still exist?" Haynes said that the absence of women in leadership roles can partially be attributed to rigid hiring guidelines that discourage both women and marginalized individuals from applying for these jobs. "When hiring, I always want to choose the best person. But I learned long ago that you can easily exclude people who have been underrepresented in these positions inadvertently because of past precedents," she said. "Job descriptions often exclude women and people of color because they say 'you have to have these three steps to apply.' In my case, I moved from dean to president without having been a vice presi- Photo by Christine Vaughan President Haynes delivering Report to the Community. dent, and I moved from faculty to dean without being an associate dean. This has helped me to see that in the j ob process, people do not put the right lens on and see that they are reducing applicants by restraining what needs to be done before applying." Haynes said that leading by example is key to seeing more shifts towards female leaders. "Many presidents today are in their late 50s and 60s," she said. "If we are not building a diverse group of presidents to lead, there is going to be a failure in higher education to have really taken the lead here. How can we ex- pect corporations to do it if we cannot do it ourselves?" Despite her tremendous success in academia, Haynes continually approaches her position and its challenges with a grounded, positive attitude. "University presidents can often take themselves too seriously," she said. "It is a serious position with a lot of responsibility and authority, but I have learned that I can be authentic and be myself. When I realized that I could be serious and myself and be effective as a female leader, that was a major breakthrough for me." Sexual Assault Advocate to be hired this summer New position will give sexual violence survivors a voice B Y J ASMINE D E M E R S N EWS E DITOR CSUSM is set to develop and initiate a new advocacy position on campus that will meet the needs of students and survivors who have experienced any type of sexual violence. In September of 2014, Cal State University officials announced that each of the 23 campuses within the university system will have a confidential x sexual assault advocate by June of 2015. The announcement was made after T aT nignificant s'Tnt a significant amount of voiced concern by students, faculty, lawmakers and advocacy groups, who wanted to see change within the CSU system, was seen.

Film screening sparks emotion among students Movie brings to light issues of gender and masculinity B Y N I C O L E H OLMAN ASSISTANT N EWS E DITOR The Gender Equity Center, HOPE and Wellness Center and Office of Diversity recently hosted a film screening that raised awareness for societal gender norms and urged students to question these issues. On Thursday, March 12, in the USU Ballroom, a presentation of the documen- tary film entitled 'The Mask You Live I n' was screened to both students and faculty. The film covered topics such as masculinity, patriarchy and how the two intersect to affect society as a whole. In American culture, it is alleged that the idea of "being a man" has created a violent and incredibly toxic mentality pertaining to how men view themselves. These expectations are forced on boys as young as age five where they are told to repress emotion, to use violence instead of words as emotionless, violent, "la- reason f or the violence c om. reason for the violence comand to essentially "wear dy-killers" which teaches mitted primarily by men.

A panel was held after the screening where men, both students and faculty, shared their reactions and experiences in relation to the film. Many individuals shared their stories, and though most have seen firsthand the harmful effects of patriarchal archetypes of maleness, the panel left on a note of hopefulness. By educating more people about these issues, society can move forward to defining manhood in a new, more constructive manner. �News Editor: Jasmine Demers cougarchron.news@gmail.com CSUSM works towards raising awareness of racial injustice CSUSM hosts wellness fair to promote student health Students participate in variety of wellness activities to achieve awareness B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER SENIOR STAFF W RITER The CSUSM Wellness Fair was recently held in the USU ballroom in order to encourage students to focus on the choices they make and how these choices can impact their overall health and well-being.

In addition to the campus associated organizations, community organizations set up tables at the fair as Campus Recreation hosts 'co-rec' sports intramurals Teams to include both men and women B Y S ONNI SIMMONS COMMUNITY N EWS E DITOR Campus Recreation will hold Co-Rec Intramurals that will offer students the opportunity to create their own teams, compete against other CSUSM students and participate in an activity that promotes gender equality. The term "Co-Rec" defines the teams as consisting of both male and female students. The inclusion of both men and women is meant to make the games more evenly matched, according to Natalie Ortega, Student Outreach Coordinator for Campus Rec. "Co-Rec Intramurals are when each team is required to have a minimum amount of female and male players on the field/court at all times," said Ortega. In the midst of Women's History Month, these activities are a perfect example of how campus organizations have emphasized the importance of gender inclusion. The games that will be played during the month of April include basketball, co-rec speed soccer, co-rec volleyball, futsal and co-rec flag football. Speed soccer and flag football will be played on Mangrum Field, volleyball and futsal Clarke Fieldhouse Gym on campus and basketball at Corky Smith Gym in San Marcos. "The rule helps to make the games fair and f un at the same time," said Ortega. "Campus Rec's events, including intramurals, are meant to be a f un way for students on campus to interact with each other as a community." Intramural sports not only provide students with a light-hearted way to meet other students, but create an opportunity for physical activity as well. The Intramurals also give stu- Photo by Chris Morales The Wellness Fair had several booths aimed to educate students. well. These tables included various community food vendors, such as Jersey Mike's subs, that informed students about the benefits of particular foods and how to make healthy choices when selecting food. In addition, other companies located in the community used the wellness fair to educate students about the various benefits of their services and how they can help to promote student health. One such table belonged to the local branch of Massage Envy, where they informed students about the health benefits associated with facials and massages. "[Massages] help increase blood circulation in the body and our massage clinic can help in dealing with sports injuries as well, while our facials promote skin health through hydration and antioxidants," said Kate Corirossi and Dani Sanchez, Massage Envy Representatives. "In addition, we educate people on the benefits of massages and the importance of SPF and proper skin care, " At the wellness fair, stu- dents were able to actively participate at many of the booths. Students could spin wheels to win various prizes, participate in wellness demonstrations and even take a picture with the campus mascot himself. "[I enjoyed] the booth where they took your blood pressure. It was a f un hands on experience," said freshman Alexa Alvarez. The tables offered a variety of information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many went beyond dietary techniques and encompassed other methods to promote wellness, such as the self-defense and LGBTQA tables. "[I liked] the LGBTQA table the most because they talked about health and wellness through practicing safe sex," said junior Anthony Kass. Whether physical, mental or nutritional in nature, the Wellness Fair allowed for various programs and services to offer suggestions to students on how to live a healthier lifestyle, and further informed students of the services available to help them on the path to wellness.

Jennifer Milo started with CSUSM in 2005 when she was hired to start a softball team. In 2005, Milo was given just one year to recruit and build a softball program in which she would be the inaugural head coach. In 2012, after years of coaching the softball team, Jennifer Milo stepped into a new role as the Athletic Director at CSUSM. proud she was of the ability to provide athletes with a student-athlete experience.

Men's Basketball heads to first round of NAIA Championship Tournament BYAMYCHASTAIN STAFF WRITER The CSUSM Men's Basketball team, with an 8783 win over West Virginia Tech, clinched the Association of Independent Institutions (A .1.1.) Conference Title on March 7 and will head to the NAIA Championships for the third consecutive appearance. Four Cougars were recognized with A.I.I. awards this season for their outstanding performance on the court. Blake Nash, Senior Point Guard, received A.I.I. Player of the Year Award. Nash also received the A.I.I. Tournament's Most Outstanding Player Award in large part due to his 34 points scored in the championship game against West Virginia Tech. Senior Forward Julian Camper and Junior Guard Akachi Okugo were both named to the All A.I.I Second Team. Junior Guard Dayton Boddie also walked away with an A .1.1. Honorable Mention. According to the CSUSM Men's Basketball page, this is the third season in a row in which four Cougars have received NAIA awards.

National mm y perspective Sports and equality from m IJI R MÈÈÈXÊÈÊÈÊÊÈ J l i BY KATELYNNRISE CONTRIBUTOR As a female that grew up surrounded by boys playing sports, I have always noticed a severe separation of the sexes when it came to athletics. My father, my brother and some of my closest male friends all played football. Being a female, they were constantly impressed with my fundamentally sound throwing skills and my ability to pick out the difference between a pass interference and a fair catch. Whv should they have been so surprised to think that I knew anything about football? Why should it be such a shocking fact to think that a woman could actually be involved in a sport as much as a man was? Unfortunately, we can thank the media for that. The media has sexually glorified women athletes. For example, Ronda Rousey is the number one female MMA fighter in her division. She has been to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, bringing home a bronze medal, and has spent TB H • m l] g% ¡•Ml her entire life dedicated to bettering her body to become the best MMA fighter she can be. Even with all of these accomplishments, the media chooses to glorify Rousey's multitude of success by using nude pictures of her that have nothing to do with her career as an athlete. Last time I checked, a women's role in sports, or society as a whole, has nothing to do with what a woman looks like under her clothes. Not only does the media sexualize women athletes, but they also deteriorate the wgtmpmmi meaning of having women involved in sports by criticizing female sportscasters. Erin Andrews, much like myself, has grown up around the world of football, and is now one of the most well-known sportscasters in the NFL. Unfortunately, Andrews is criticized for being just another pretty face on a major television network who lacks interviewing skills. Andrews majored in telecommunications, and is more than qualified for her position as a sportscaster. So why must society be so resistant to the fact that women are involved in sports and want to participate in the world of sports? To answer this question as simply as possible, gender roles has affected the way society allows women to be integrated into the sports world. Seeing a woman talking about sports or participating in a sport immediately labels them as masculine or unlady-like. Women need to be accepted into the sports world, whether she is an athlete or a sportscaster, because women allow an array of diverse opinions that could otherwise be overlooked by men. The integration of women can also help give back to their communities through charity organizations, such as Andrews and Rousey having charities. The next time you see a woman's sporting game on TV, a woman sportscaster or a woman kicking some butt in the ring, make sure you take a second to realize all of the hardships that they must have had to overcome to get to their successful position in the world of sports before judging them for their gender.

Afro-Brazilian is just what you need B Y ALEXANDRIA C ERNUTO CONTRIBUTOR Looking f or a f un, upbeat way to kick off the long week all while helping to stay in shape? An Afro-Brazilian dance class is being offered to all CSUSM students. The class is a great way to let loose, be yourself and get an amazing workout. Even if you believe you are a horrible dancer, this class can help you learn and is welcoming to all students. Afro-Brazilians are referred to as Brazilians with African descent or background. Many of the dance moves have deep meanings that come from the hardships African slaves endured many years ago. When dancing Afro-Brazilian style, a lot of emotion is put into to get up and start dancing. In this type of dance, it doesn't matter how crazy you think you look, as long as you are passionate and put effort into each step. Although you are "working out your muscles, you have to remember that you're dancing. This is something along the lines of what dance instructor, Vika StanskyHernandez, often says. Hernandez has been dancing for 25 years and for the last 8 years she learned and is still learning how to dance AfroPhoto by Chris Morales Brazilian. Her advice for each dance move.

She said it is important to welcome and teach a variety of people. Hernandez's favorite part of teaching Afro-Brazilian dance is the cultural aspect. "It makes it different from every workoutclass," she said. She enjoys teaching the history of Afro-Brazilians by exploring the culture through movement. Whether you're always the first one on the dance floor or the one who sits back and watches, don't be scared to come out to Afro-Brazilian dance next Monday. The Afro-Brazilian dance class is from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Monday at The Clarke Field House. �Sports Editor: Burtland Dixon cougarchron.sports@gmail.com NCAA's spring rite, March Madness, is back A look at what to expect for the 64-team tournament more B Y A MY CHASTAIN STAFF W RITER The month of March is home to NCAA March Madness, which is perhaps the greatest collegiate sports tournament of all time. On a day that has been given the title of Selection Sunday, 64 NCAA Men's Basketball teams are chosen to compete in a nationwide tournament. The top 25 teams in the country get SAI continued on page 6 questions about how the changes will affect faculty workloads, commute times and pay, especially for contingent faculty, which includes lecturers. "We are supposed to do three things here as faculty: university service, like committees and shared governance, teaching and research," said Dr. Darel Engen, California Faculty Association President and Associate Professor of History. "The time it takes to commute and restructure our courses takes away from the time we have for service an automatic spot in March Madness. The other 39 teams are selected based off of other statistics, including their rank in their particular collegiate conference. This year's Selection Sunday is held on March 15, and two days later on March 17, the tournament officially begins. Following the start on March 17, there is a set of games on March 19 through March 22, according to the NCAA March Madness Website. Once those games are complete, March Mad- ness will move into the Sweet 16 phase, where the final 16 teams will battle it out on March 26 and 27. Immediately following is the Elite Eight stage which will take place on March 28 and 29. Once the winners are determined from the Elite Eight, the tournament moves into the Final Four, which will take, place on April 4. Every year the NCAA March Madness Tournament seeks to live up to its moniker of madness. This tournament continues to prove that during this month, madness comes in many forms. USA Today writer Dan Wolken described the 48-hours following Selection Sunday as the "most hectic for NCAA's travel offices." These offices will rush to get flights for hundreds of people, including athletes, coaches, family and cheerleaders, as they fly them to their newly discovered host facilities. i n addition to what has become an absolute travel nightmare, March Madness always lends itself to crazy displays of athleticism and unknown basketball teams taking center stage. In 2013, Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) was the source of a major upset. ESPN writer Dana O'Neil described FGCU as the "ultimate bracket buster." In two major upsets, Florida Gulf Coast beat Georgetown and San Diego State. This made FGCU the first team in history to be seeded at number 15, beat two opponents and make it into the Sweet 16. What is even maddening about Florida Gulf Coast's rise in the tournament is that the university at the time was only 16 year old, having been founded in 1997. As March Madness is about to be in M l swing, it is only a matter of time before bracket busters, record breakers and Cinderella -stories fill national sports headlines. Prior to a new National Champion being crowned on April 6, sports fans should make time to enjoy the craziness that is the NCAA March Madness. and especially for research." He also expressed concern for lecturers who may teach at more than one institution. "The added commuting time will force them to choose between jobs," Engen said. "They do not get paid very well and are already barely getting by. They need all of the employment they can get and with these time conflicts, this is a big problem for them." Two thirds of the courses on campus are taught by contingent faculty, according to Makey. "A lot of them are going to bear the brunt of pedagogy revision and teach M onday/Wednesday/Friday. Tenure track faculty will probably want to avoid that," she said. "I know from experience that contingent faculty sometimes pick up classes late. If they taught in the 75-minute format before and now they are given a 50-minute format where they have to come to campus three days a week, it creates more stress when they are notified in a short timeline." Vice Provost Dr. Kamel Haddad said a change in course scheduling and better space optimization are necessary. So far for Fall 2015, 79 classes have been classified as "Impossible to Place", which means that the course cannot be held at the time and location that it was proposed for, he said. Implementing the Student Access Initiative at CSUSM will increase the number of courses taught on Fridays and evenings — hours when the most classroom space goes unused. However, this shift will not affect all classes. "Eighteen to 19 percent of undergraduate and graduate courses will be impacted. This means that it will necessitate a day change to schedule these courses," Haddad said. "This might mean moving from meeting twice a week to another twice a week slot, to a three day a week slot or once a week. "The majority of courses that necessitate a day change would probably be 16.5 percent of the classes impacted, which are classes that are currently meeting Monday/Wednesday before 2:30 p.m.," he said. Senate Chair Stowell said she thinks the plan will be a good thing for the campus. "I think faculty are always able to make the adjustment. They are always pedagogically changing what they do," Stowell said. "The fact that the Provost's Office wanted faculty endorsement shows a very good, collégial relationship with the administrators here, and I appreciate how much they worked with us and asked us." But Engen remained skeptical. "Although we definitely have a serious issue with classroom availability, and it is good that the administration is seeking remedies for this, I 'm not sure that the Student Access Initiative is the best way to deal with this problem," he said. "I fear that it could actually limit student access as much as it helps it and create additional workload and difficulties for faculty, especially lecturers, as well."

Many people who are born in a privileged household with a supporting family may never fathom the idea of being neglected or mistreated. Kelsey Schwarz, a junior at CSUSM, said that she has recognized the privileges that she has received in her life and has taken many steps in creating a similar environment for those who lack the same opportunities. A year in a half ago, she decided to selflessly give back by sponsoring a child under the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Foundation. "I have always been interested in helping young girls improve their confidence, self-esteem and communication skills," Schwarz said. "Having a mentor like that would have been beneficial for me in middle and high school." She said that teaching these qualities will help prevent bullying and domestic abuse. Even with a laboring schedule that includes having a j ob and being a full-time student, Schwarz still makes time for her little sister, Bella. She generally meets with her three to four times a month for around three to five hours each session. During these gatherings, they spend time together by engaging in activists that include arts/crafts, baking, watching movies, celebrating holidays or any other activities that her little sister might be interested in. Schwarz cares so much about her little sister and the organization that she often spends more time with Bella than is required. She has sacrificed leisure time to make sure that her little sister keeps improving and continues to stay happy and healthy. Schwarz's match support specialist, Gabby Dotts, has been very impressed with her dedication and commitment to the program. "Kelsey is an epitome of a big sister. She is the type of person that will go above and beyond what is needed," Dotts said. Schwarz reveals that it is ORGANIZATION Photo courtesy of Kelsey Schwarz possible to make a difference in this world. She is a remarkable, young woman who excels in compassion and generosity. The world would be a better place if it had more leaders like her, who not only change their own generation but also the generations to come. SPOTLIGHT i SSillfS Feminist Anonymous strives to end oppression Organization seeks gender equality, social justice BY SHANICE DAVIS ASSISTANT FEATURES E DITOR Feminist Anonymous (FA) organization leader, Karen GuzmXn said FA is not yet a recognized group on campus, but they seek to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression. "We are trying to reintroduce a lot of values that have been lost on our campus and a lot of them have to do with reemphasizing that rape and sexual assault are an actual crime," GuzmXn said. A few years ago, the organization received backlash when the group decided to voice their opinion about sexual assault and the campus' lack of support f or victims. As a result, many women were silenced and quit the club because they were scared. GuzmXn said that she, herself is a survivor and had to deal with a sexual assault case. It was that experience that made her a stronger person, one who was willing to bring the issue out of the dark to spread awareness. Awareness doesn't stop there. FA has a couple events for Herstory Month, including the Vagina Monologues, which took place at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13 and at 2:30 p.m. in Spanish and at 7:30 p.m. in English on Saturday, March 14. The Vagina Monologues is a play that consists of stories of various women throughout the world, all geared towards raising awareness about women's health, sexuality and the violence directed towards them. Also, sometime in April, there will be the event, "Take Back the Night," and if anyone is interested in helping organize it, FA would greatly appreciate anyone who reaches out to them to help. With FA not being recognized on campus, the group currently has one main goal. "We hope to be able to be an established organization on campus," GuzmXn said. "We are trying to recruit as many men and women to the organization because we want to create a new generation and a new wave on campus that's all about gender equality, social justice and activism because pus starts with the students. "We are really powerful in our own way, when we mobilize on the things we want," she said. And as for the debate of men and women in today's society, GuzmXn said that inequality does not stop at those two genders; it is much more deeply rooted than that. "A lot of times when you talk about gender and inPhoto courtesy of Karen GuzmXn equality today, in mainfor us, we like highlight- stream media, what happens ing the fact that feminism is is, you compare the amount about ending all oppression." that women make to that of In addition, FA strives to men," GuzmXn said.

"But, what we also like to point out, is that when you talk about this gap you exclude women of color because that analogy that's used so often is actually what a White women would be making versus a man," GuzmXn said. "It's important because women of color, specifically Black and Latinas actually make significantly less than that. So when you talk about this pay gap, you also have to address that there's something deeper to that; when race comes in there's a greater gap otherwise we are doing the same thing our ancestors messed up on."

Escort Service promotes safety PARKING ANC) Photo by Chris Morales B Y SYDNEY SCHABACKER SENIOR S TAFF W RITER CSUSM University Police offer a variety of services, including the Safety Escort Service. This service was established soon after the creation of the University Police Department in 1993, and is available from dusk to dawn. Community Service Officers (CSOs) provide a personal escort to and f rom campus parking lots, buildings, immediate bus stops and areas near the campus. The officer will accompany you on foot, by bicycle or vehicle. This safety feature for our campus is available to students, staff and faculty. "On average, the University Police Department provides almost 1,200 escorts a year," Belinda Garcia, a Parking and Commuter Services staff member, said. People who have used the service give high marks for the Officers' prompt arrivals and their courtesy. The escort service is free to all students. To request a safety escort, call 760-750-4567. The dispatcher will ask for the caller's location, name, destination and a contact number, and then dispatch a CSO. A SI E LECTIONS Vote for your Student Body Government! I 506 E.

The event will provide students with an opportunity to preview Sweeney's book. Angry Young Women covers a variety of topics that focus primarily on issues in mainstream feminism. Oftentimes, the main face of femi- nism is depicted as white, middle-class and heterosexual women which alienates a vast quantity of people who perhaps need the support of such movements the most. "Angry Young Women seeks to explore the many dimensions of womanhood as well as bring to light the necessity of including marginalized women in feminism," Katlin Sweeney said.

Photo by Ciara Walker �^ ^^^ Opinion Editor: cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1,05 82 1 Feminism is not another "F" word Reflecting on what Feminism means to me: Women and men are equal BY TIFFANY T RENT STAFF W RITER Feminism is a word that typically evokes a lot of emotion and opinions in people. Whether those emotions are positive or negative depends on the person and their views. Even in today's progressive society sometimes people are embarrassed to identify themselves as feminists because of the associated negative stigmas. My hope is that explaining what feminism means to me will shed some light on this cause. First of all, feminism is not the conviction that women are better than men but the belief that women and men are equal, while acknowledging that while the two sexes are different neither is superior or inferior. Just different. Feminism is instead about giving women freedom. America was established because of the desire for freedom. Countless people have died for freedom. It is that important. Why should a woman be denied such an essential right just because of her gender? If a woman wants to be a homemaker and mother or the CEO of a corporation, that's her choice. No matter what a woman wants or desires, she deserves the autonomy to attain her goals. The idea that in order for a Feminism is not a "one-size-fit-a woman to be liberated she must turn her back on family and tradition is untrue. A woman can focus on family or a career or both if she wants. Feminism shouldn't be telling women what to do because that is just an- Women are not objects or possessions. Our sole purpose in this life is much more than serving men. We are more than mothers, wives, sisters, daughters. We are humans, individuals with independent thoughts, feelings and desires. We deserve to have that recognition. It is our right to have free will and choice. And that is why I choose to be a feminist. As long as women anywhere in the world are still treated as inferior, enslaved, oppressed and/or objectified I will fight for equality. A quote by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley sums up the struggle nicely: "I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves." Even with all the advances and progress our society has made, feminism still has a long way to go. Society continues to put way too much emphasis and value on a woman's looks and attractiveness. I ami so sick of the media telling me and other females that the only way to be successful and likeable is to be pretty, young and thin.

The modern woman fights for equality American women continue to live among contradictions B Y K AT D ILTZ STAFF W RITER Innovative, strong, brave and unique. These are the words that come to mind when I think of the American women of today. Women are fighting for equality among men, joining the military and fighting social stigmas, proving that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Today's women are capable of being empowering role models for the youth of today, and yet, we are objectified and judged, mostly on how we look. We live in a very visual society. We thrive on instant gratification and seemingly acceptable suggestions are constantly thrown at us on how to "improve" our looks—which, most of the time, is something that doesn't have to be changed completely. Lately, I have noticed a wave of celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Emma Watson and Kelly Clarkson, who are inspiring young girls to accept their body types— something that is refreshing in today's world. Even though we are still being pushed to change ourselves, women are breaking the seal and encouraging others to stop believing in the hype. Aside from accepting our physical beauty, women have improved in the importance of our education over the past few decades. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a study in 2011 that concluded that 66.7 percent of women ages 25—64 have attended college, and 93.1 percent of women have attended high school. Also, today's female college students are more likely to obtain their master's degree than male college students. 7.8 million American women have been able to start their own businesses, according to a U.S Department of Commerce study in 2010. However, women are still paid less than men, even when working the same job. While the majority of today's women are fighting for equality, it is not certain that gender equality will be achieved in the near future. While today's women are innovative and strong, we are still judged and objectified. Most of us are still in limbo, trying to decide between hid- Photo by Noelle Friedberg ing or accepting our imperfections. However, despite all the obstacles that society has thrown at us, we have grown into a feisty genera- tion, leaving behind a powerful statement for the generations to come: if you express kindness and bravery, you can achieve your goals.

The "Tampon Lady" says Jesus thinks so at campus demonstration B Y JOSHUA D . C OPELAND STAFF W RITER A walk to your next class can be quite a workout at times at CSUSM. Thank God (with pun possibly intended) for leggings and yoga pants as they keep you cool as well as comfy. Most importantly, a lot of you ladies look great in them. It only makes sense to throw on a pair f or a productive day at school. Especially if you want to be called a "WHORE" in the name of Jesus Christ. The extremely radical, self-proclaimed evangelist, Sister Cindy a.k.a. the Tampon Lady and her husband "blessed" CSUSM with their presence on Tuesday, March 3. They share the desire of your typical Christians, carrying out the message of Jesus Christ loving you and wanting to save you from the depths of Hell. However, their attention-grabbing methods are ridiculously judgmental, delivering a harshly potent sting of irony. "All you ladies wearing your leggings and your shorts are whoring your bodies," the Tampon Lady said to students, while holding her giant, trusty sign with "WHORE" written in bold caps. In fact, she had three signs in total. The other two signs said, "Don't Be a Ho No M o'!" and "You Deserve Hell." It wasn't long before a circle of students began to surround her in amusement. Some found her hilarious and broke out in laughter. Others grew angry and found her offensive. "You women are supposed to come to school for an education. Not to find a boy to come fondle your tits in your dorm room!" she said. At this point, some students began to reciprocate measures of extremity. One student attacked her and her props. Another experienced me no one loved me, not my parents, not my boyfriend, no one except God." "I was told I was going to hell because I was wearing black but the only skin I was showing was my face and hands. And also a whore," Linguistics student, Danni Marie Dickey, said. Before her husband took over the performance, one of the last Photo illustration by Cody Cookthings the Tampon Lady said to the crowd was this: a spark of exhilaration and " I'm not here to force you exposed her breasts to the to accept Jesus...

"The you guys whining 'W-a-a-adude [husband] also told a-n-h! Nobody helped m e!'" What if this was how Jesus Christ himself gathered his followers? Better yet, imagine the Son of God appearing before us that day and being met with the scowling Tampon Lady holding her signs that suggest feminine propaganda. Who then, at that moment, would really need saving? Christianity is supposed to be about love and acceptance. Those who have accepted Jesus in their hearts found it much easier through love than through fear. But it's hard to spread God's word when people like the Tampon Lady represent all Christians. "Real Christians literally love on everyone," said Michelle Jaro, a student of computer information systems and fellow Christian. And that's how it should be, even with leggings on. mm L2UU Overcoming society's pressure to be perfect The importance of encouraging your fellow women B Y ( ¡^«FTT^ROVENCIO CONTRIBUTOR As many of you young women reading this may know, being a woman in today's contemporary American society is difficult. We beat ourselves up frequently because of messages society portrays to us. Daily, we women face a typical battle when we see the most perfect looking female on TV with long silky hair, perfect bust size, small waist, big lips, clear skin, glamorous makeup, trendy clothes, the list goes on. This image only causes us to com- pare everything^ about this obviously photoshopped and unreal adaptation of a woman to ourselves as we sit on our couches and mentally debate whether or not we should have that dessert after all. Being college students, we also face the decision of completing a degree and dedicating the rest of our lives to our careers or possibly setting that aside one day to raise a family or simply just becoming overwhelmed by the thought of juggling both at the same time. There i s so much that we as women deal with, that it can truly become over- whelming. But it does not always have to be this way. We women can learn from all these pressures by encouraging each other. Society's expectations add more onto the pressures that we already feel, but it is because we allow it to. We have to encourage each other to not care about what society is telling us, and we need to remind ourselves as well as each other that being happy is enough. We should not have to feel that we have to fit certain expectations to be successful or empowered. If eating that dessert makes us happy, then who cares what anyone says or thinks because we are beautiful no matter how many calories we intake that day. If we want to set our careers aside to be mothers, we should encourage each other because it does not make you a weak woman to nurture your family, just like it does not make you an insensitive woman to decide to choose your career over starting a family. Our lives as women are hard enough as it is, so why make it harder? If we can remember to live according to what makes us happy, then we will be able to become better examples for future Photo courtesy of Gabri Provencio example of how to be a strong woman of faith and love.

As for who these women actually were and why they were considered witches, we are often unsure. Similar to feminists who have reclaimed the word 'slut' and participate in Slut- ac in n rotest n f Walk marches i n prr»tpct of rape culture, or feminists who have reclaimed the word ' cunt' in order to redefine the language that is used to talk about our bodies as illustrated in a popular skit from the Vagina Monologues entitled "Reclaiming Cunt," many feminists are learning about this piece of herstory and even reclaiming the word 'witch.' If we were all to create the image of a witch in our minds, w e'd probably all come up with a similar image: an ugly woman with a mole on her nose, wiry hair, a pet black cat, a cauldron and n a broom that she straddles and rides through the sky. We could all agree that she is evil and some of us might even imagine her as being overly sexual. She is certainly not what a woman should be. This image that we create is not completely fictional, but is culturally and historically situated. During the witch hunts that took place in Europe and North America, spanning from the 1400s through the 1700s, women were accused of being witches and were tortured and killed on that be- half for a variety of reasons, easons. half If a woman was particularly ugly or had any markings or blemishes (a mole on her nose), she could have been accused of being a witch. If a woman lived in isolation and had many pets (a black cat) she could have been accused of being a witch. If a woman was known for being rude or sarcastic (or laughed with a cackle), she could have been accused of being a witch. If she was committed to healing others in her community through herbal concoctions (here, we get the potions and the cauldrons) or any other healing techniques, she could echnique have been accused of being a witch practicing dark magic. The list goes on, but it is clear that any woman who fell outside of expected female gender norms was considered a witch and was tortured and killed. These women were clearly a big threat. From midwives to herbalists, many feminists today are transforming this piece of herstory and reclaiming the witchy lifestyle. Learning about our bodies and natural health, embracing female sexuality, taking up spiritual practices that are not patriarchal, defining ourselves based on our relationships with other women rather than our relationships with men, rejecting female beauty standards and caring for the Earth and its creatures are some of the many radical steps witchy feminists are taking to reclaim the witch life. Simply digging through our repressed and hidden herstories to find our roots is a radical act, and as a witchy woman might say, what we find and what we do with this information might just be magical. �Opinion Editor: Noelle Friedberg couearchron.opinion@gmail.com Independent women shouldn't turn off anyone How you can become one B Y SHAKARA THOMPSON CONTRIBUTOR "Don't be a woman that needs a man, be the woman a man needs." - Anonymous In my 20 years of life, I have only been in two serious relationships, including the one I am in right now, and I must say that never have I needed a man. Growing up, I was raised by a single mother who did everything on her own without any man's help, AKA my father. Seeing how my mother strived for her accomplishments all on her own - buying her own house and car, having a good career, paying bills, maintaining her health and balancing her work life and personal life - 1 saw what being independent really was. Though my mother passed away when I was 18 years old, she was able to teach me all she could, which included never needing a man and becoming successful. Mainly what she taught me, and my experiences in life have shaped my ideology o f, was being an independent woman in today's society, which brings me to the ques- tion that many people ask. Can a woman be independent while also being in a relationship? My answer is yes, she can and I am one of them. I think being a woman who is independent could be seen as somewhat ambivalent since there are men who find it to be intimidating towards their masculinity. In today's society, the old-fashioned view of relationships still exists where men are supposed to be the sole-providers, and women are not. As my partner would add, "that's the man's role, to provide," but I think it is just as great when both, men and women, share the responsibility of providing for each other. As you can imagine because my partner and I have different perspectives on this topic, it causes a lot of friction between us since I choose to do certain things on my own without him; although, in his eyes it is about constantly being there for his woman when need be , I see it as I am just as capable of doing it by myself. We manage to keep our contrasting beliefs separate from our feelings about one another because at the end of the day, we love each Photo courtesy of Shakara Thompson other for many other reasons. In conclusion, I believe being a woman who is independent should not in any way disinterest anyone or make them feel a certain type of way, but rather intrigue them to understand why the meaning of independence f or women is so important.

B Y KARRI KIRBY CONTRIBUTOR How can we empower women at CSUSM, or how do we even define empowerment? Does empowerment mean feeling safe, or do we even know how to use this empowerment? Many people have different opinions about how they feel empowered or safe on campus; therefore each person's bias about what expresses "feeling safe, " or "feeling empowered" varies. Currently we have a Gender Equality Center, where they have created an environment where all students of different genders and their different gender problems are welcomed. Before there was the Gender Equity Center it was the Women's Center, which was run by feminists and other powerful women. Now the Gender Equity Center is ran by men, so should we question as to why women are not directors of a once known center called the Women's Center whose name just changed? How are we supposed to feel about this change in power, and do we feel comfortable enough to seek help from these men? Staying involved and getting your voice heard can help you feel more comfortable and even inspire others to speak out about their gender problems they are also currently facing. Several people may not know anything about empowerment or how to use it. To have empowerment is to give authority or power to something. I think what empowers women is being proactive and recognizing and questioning these gender boundaries.I think we need to ask why isn't „ our campus empowering more women, and how can I help them to do that? Don't let others define your value Embrace yourself and all of life's messiness B Y JORDAN TAYLOR WAECHTER CONTRIBUTOR Oppression can be thought of as unjust treatment or control, mainly based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, class and d isability. Oh no! The crowd gasps, not another woman rambling on, but hear me out. Each "status" is a lens used psychologically and socially in the way we view the world and treat others within it. Regardless of those differences (that should be recognized), here is a lesson I 've come to learn. You are already real. To be real is not simply referring to being alive, but is also referring to the experiences that happen to you while being alive. Do not wait for someone else, something else or an outside source to declare you as real. Crazy, I know. To accept you are real means to understand you will not be some magazine model (in most cases), that you will disappoint people and yourself, that the size of your waist does not indicate the capacity of your mind or heart and it means accepting you will live through moments that cannot be edited, deleted or erased. Just get on with it; you are incredible as an individual, embrace what makes you unique and different. Plus, Barbie is overrated anyways; there is only one you. Accept that you are real, that your life cannot be finished, have perfect timing, be fixed or have any form of structure. Become intrigued by the messiness and actu- ally embrace it. You are your own gatekeeper, do not let others define your value. Yes, it is even more difficult that we have grown up in a world where, as a society, we have been raised to be likeable, and watched as the women (and men) who spoke up for themselves in ways against social norms were either called selfish, difficult or needy that splashed a red wine stain on the white carpet. Whatever, be the stain and know that the change starts within you. Create your own value, want to cut your hair, wear that dress, baggy shirt, not shave your legs, be a scientist, run for president, ask for that raise, change your mind on your life partner, city, whatever, that is okay. It is okay to change our mind on big things as we grow as individuals. Turns out, life does not work out the way you thought it would at 18—and that's actually a good thing.

Before the masculine structure of society and religion, there was a sacred powerful role that women held and ruled f rom. Shamanism is regarded by various sources to be the original religion f rom which all religions stemmed and branched out f rom, not only humankind's first spiritual practice but a healing practice as well. Shamanism has been defined by the western world as a religious belief system in which the shaman is a specialist in the knowledge required to make a connection to the world of the spirits in order to bring about benefits for the other members of the community within the culture. From my research I have found that women were the first shamans and are still regarded as being more powerful. Women are designed in such a way, including biologically, that is better suited to shamanism and its duties. Women were known to be "chosen" by the spirit or universe versus men who were chosen and "initiated" by other male shamans and these facts can be reinforced by male shamans today. Different cultures have their own creation shaman ous of women's power and conspiring to steal the power from them. The only way men could attain the power that the women shamans had was to be given the objects and tools from their female elders or steal their objects of power and kill the shaman; only then could they assume the powers and use them for their own purposes. Photo by Noelle Friedberg In the article "Path of the Shaman," Peggy Andreas story of origin about the first describes that shamans heal shamans being women and themselves (and serve as a how they were somehow healing catalyst for others) in overthrown and erased from three main ways: removing history. They include the oc- blockages in the energy flow, currence of men being jeal- balancing and centering and attunement and harmony. It is important to point out that shamanism acknowledges the importance of both masculine and feminine energies and traditions. So it would be beneficial for people today to adopt aspects, if not most parts of shamanism, with its powerful women leaders and positive holistic attributes. I would like to end with some questions for you all. How did humanity arrive at this masculinedominated structure of society and even religion? At what point did women lose their sacred power and revered position in the world? Taking a critical look at feminist experiences When did feminism become a bad thing? B Y D ANIELLE W ISDOM CONTRIBUTOR Growing up, I was blessed to be surrounded by strong, incredible, educated women who showed me at a young age what it looks like to be successful as a woman in the world. Looking back now, I realize that my sisters and my mother were showing me what it looks like to be a feminist. Working in childcare, I have always worked with predominantly women (and still do). What baffles me is how many women in today's society refuse to call themselves feminists. Moreover, I 've notice that a lot of the women I work with have a tendency to perpetuate gender inequalities through their words and actions. Not only are these women continuing a cycle of oppression for themselves, but they are teaching these behaviors to children, who will bring them into the next generation. My biggest question is, when did feminism become a bad thing? And why do these women fall victims to male power even when there aren't any males around? The simple answer is that humans can only act on what they know. An educated woman with positive female role models might be more equipped to see that feminism isn't about "man hating." It is about equality between people regardless of gender. So if the concept of feminism is such a simple one, why do grown women have such a hard time accepting it? In my opinion, women such as my co-workers have a hard time accepting feminism because, even in an entirely female environment, male power dictates how we as women view ourselves and how we act on those views. For example, many of my co-workers are currently Feminism is not exclusive Men can be advocates as well Feminism is for everyone. B Y JACQUELINE R OBINSON CONTRIBUTOR We cannot ignore the fact that women's voices are still consistently marginalized. But to hold that feminism belongs only to women, or that only women can be feminists, creates brash assumptions, ostracizes enormous number of supporters ity goes against the rudimentary ideals of the cause. Since everyone has his or her own right to define "feminism," stating that the word itself is not all-inclusive is counterintuitive. Each individual, each person, decides to put their own definition to the word "feminism." Some honor the word, others use it as an insult. No matter how an individual chooses to utilize the term, I think the freedom to make the Photo by Noelle Friedberg word yours is the beauty of feminism.

Brunsis concluded that CSUSM does have the resources, in reserves, to fund the Equity Program, Engen said. In a letter last year from Engen to Haynes, the CFA leader wrote that "for mere pennies on the dollar — just 0.37 percent of the university budget," it would be possible to "fund [the] campus' share of what it would take to close the gap between the CSU's and CFA's salary proposals." In an interview last week, Engen said, "What we told them when we were bargaining this contract last year was that we would accept a meager raise as long as CSU campuses undergo a campus salary equity program with the cash reserves that they have. "The chancellor gave the green light this time around, and President Haynes committed to implementing an equity program on our campus," he said. Anne Lombard, an Associate Professor of History and the Faculty Rights Representative for the CSUSM Chapter of CFA, has been on the faculty since 2000. She explained her own experience. "My salary is still under $70,000 a year. I have a J.D. from Columbia Law School and a Ph.D from UCLA, and the salaries of other people in my rank are on average about eight to ten thousand more," said Lombard. Lombard said she has not experienced a salary inversion, but rather a salary compression because new faculty are making slightly less than her. According to the Sacramento Bee State Worker Salary Database (www.sacbee. com/site-services/databases/ state-pay), Lombard made $68,300 last year. Another associate professor of history — the same rank and approximate hire date as Lombard — from the University of California Santa Cruz, made $86,900 in 2013. The same database shows that an assistant professor of history at CSUSM - a lower rank than Lombard — made $66,000 in 2014, only $2300 less than Lombard's salary. "There is a growing awareness that [faculty] are getting paid way less than brand new faculty with no experience and^will possibly never get to the level that they expected, and it makes people depressed," said Lombard. "A demoralized faculty, I think, doesn't necessarily put as much energy and creativity into the job as you would like them to." Engen agreed. "We want the administration, the public, and students to know that we are not just faculty members who are griping that they want more money. We are actually falling out of the middle class," IN •• IU N said Engen. "We are here doing a job that is really important by educating people, but we can't accomplish that job when we have to take on extra work that cuts into our main focus, which is teaching our students." Marisol Clark-Ibanez, a tenure track Associate Professor of Sociology and CFA member, said, "It is very demoralizing because you feel like you are putting in so much work. You don't come into this job for the pay, but there is quite an injustice because they are devaluing my labor and input by consistently and structurally putting me at bottom of the pay scale." The State Worker Salary Database shows that ClarkIbanez, who was hired in 2003„made $66,000 in 2014. However, an assistant professor of Sociology at CSUSM ~ a lower rank with less experience — makes $6,100 more than Clark-Ibanez. The database shows that an Associate Professor of Sociology (same rank and approximate hiring date) from the University of California Santa Cruz made $86,000 in 2013 - $20,000 more than Clark-Ibanez's 2014 salary. "I work so much and if I was smart, then maybe I would work to my pay scale, which would mean a significant pulling out of things that I am passionate about and care about," said Clark-Ibanez. Faculty members and the CFA are concerned that the Salary Equity Program has yet to be implemented, even though the CSU Chancellor and President Haynes have agreed to it. Engen said the administration is waiting on the current faculty raises to be implemented and recorded in the data system. "What we're concerned about now then is that in May, when we go back to the reopener bargaining table in year two of the contract, it is possible that we will still not see the equity program in place," he said. CSUSM Provost Graham Oberem said he is aware of faculty concerns. "Currently, , CFA/CSU contract salary increases are being processed with those adjustments coming into effect through April," he said. "Once these system wide salary changes are calculated, we will do a full analysis of faculty salaries on our campus to see what remaining faculty salary equity issues still need to be addressed." Oberem said he is working with the Office of Faculty Affairs to do the equity analysis. Once it is complete and a plan designed, the faculty will be consulted. President Haynes will make thefinaldecision about the campus-based faculty salary equity program, he said.

Pressure can build on the necessity to feel as if you need to have an idea of what exactly it is you wish to do. For Marilyn Huerta, the answer is quite simple. "Why must you do just one thing?" Living a life based on the mantra of refusing to have life bounded by limits, Huerta is living proof that if you have passion for something, there's nothing in life you can't do. It is imperative to ensure that enthusiasm consumes your life that leads to ultimate happiness. Aside from being a mother of four, Huerta serves in a myriad of positions important for our campus. Having begun working for the campus since 2006, she serves as the President of the San Marcos Art Council, a Student Arts Association Advisor for CSUSM, a Community Liaison for Charity Wings Art Center and co-teaches HeART Healing Retreats sponsored by the Palliative Care Institute. While these are just a few of her positions, it is evident that she has an impressive list of credentials. Being raised amongst creative parents, her zealousness for art and innovation was conspicuous at an early age. "When people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, in my heart I always knew I wanted to be an artist, but I didn't want to just decorate someone's wall, I wanted to share it and give back with it. It had to be some kind of service," said Huerta when describing what inspires her love for art. 'What sets this woman apart from others is her commitment to making a difference in the community. She views art as not only a passion, but as something that can give the ultimate freedom of expression. "We have so much structure in life and in art there are no rules," Huerta said. It is through healing of art in which Huerta found her calling to assist others struggling with the adversaries of life. "So many people in the world think that art is not important. They think it's just an extracurricular activity, but it's not. It's something that is needed. It's used in all forms all over the world and people don't recognize it," she said. An example of her community involvement is work done through an organization she is a part of called Art Miles. Huerta and other students painted 14 murals as a means of honoring the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary School. After sending these murals to Connecticut, she feels it exemplified how art can allow individuals to use their creativity as a means of making a difference. One thing Huerta wishes people knew was that creativity isn't something only meant for the "gifted." "You don't have to have skills or be experienced in art to know the power of it. It can be a tool that can be used by everyone. It's something to do for yourself," Huerta said. While she doesn't feel as if women are truly represented enough in art, she believes that gender shouldn't even be of any concern. "It's my hope that your art speaks for itself and you don't pay attention to whether it's a male or female artist," she said. Huerta doesn't pay mind to the gender of an individual but rather the artistry they bring to the table, for all voices of art should be expressed and heard. It is through the art process that Huerta has discovered not only who she Photo courtesy of Marilyn Huerta Huerta is a talented artist and prominent community member. M is as an individual, but her purpose as an artist. "I can be myself, without being forced to. Art shares our story. It provides a voice for those who sometimes don't know how to speak," she said. Huerta has a hope for women who dedicate their lives to advocating what they believe in. "We aren't given enough credit for how strong we are. VIDEO GAME REVIE 1 •I Nintendo best at creating female characters B Y ZACH SCHANZENBACH SENIOR STAFF W RITER The stereotype is simple yet pervasive: the realm of videogames is a guy's world. That's the stereotype I grew up with, anyways, and it seems I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Of course, I know fully well that this is not completely true. The truth is, there are a number of video games that have what I call a pro-woman disposition. I could write a list, but I've only got so much room on this paper. So here are four pro-woman video games: 1. "Xenoblade Chronicles": This might seem like an odd choice to anyone who knows this game, but let me explain. One of the main female characters, Fiora, is, according to the Xenoblade Wiki, "a very kind and caring person who wants to help everyone." A few sentences later, it says that she "is also incredibly protective of Shulk [the game's male protagonist]." I don't know about you, but I 'm used to the guy being extremely protective of the girl, so seeing this role get flipped around is refreshing. 2. "Pokemon": Another seemingly odd choice, but hang with me. When "Pokemon" kicked off in 1996, players were only given the option to play as a boy. But with the release of "Pokemon Crystal" in 2000, players had the choice to play as either a boy or a girl (and thus an infamous meme spawned from this, making fun of "Pokemon" professors for asking about your gender). Also, special mention must be given to the fourth generation of games, "Pokemon Diamond", "Pearl" and "Platinum", for being the first games in the series to feature a female champion. 3. "Super Smash Bros, for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U": No, I 'm not trolling you, I promise. The "Super Smash Bros" games always had considerably more male fighter options than female COMIC BOOK fighter options. While the latest installment is no different, the undeniable fact is that the female-to-male ratio is stronger in this game than ever before. 13 out of 49, about 27 percent, of the options are female, compared to one, 8 percent, in the first installment (not counting Jigglypuff, as genders in "Pokemon" weren't defined back then). Also, with the new Mii Fighter option, you can create even more female fighters and increase that percentage even more. It might seem like a guy's world here, but the female presence is not to be neglected. 4. "Metroid": Well, we all knew this would be on the A &E EDITOR Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis" While many used comics as the medium for fictional tales, others like Maijane Satrapi turned it into a platform to introduce readers to themselves and to their cultures. Her graphic novel "Persepolis" was published originally in 2000 in French before Pantheon Books translated it and released it to the North American audience. It is her coming-of-age memoir that began with her childhood during post-Islamic Revolution Iran and living in a war zone. The graphic novel followed her from Tehran to Vienna and back, where she went through many trials and tribulations to discover the person she is meant to be and not what society constructed. Satrapi co-directed the critically acclaimed film adaptation of "Persepolis" with Vincent Paronnaud. Like the graphic novel, the film was originally in French but there is also an English dubbed version available. Kate Beaton's "Hark, A Vagrant!" A former member of the disbanded Pizza Island studio group, Kate Beaton found her footing with her very witty webcomic se- ries " Hark, A Vagrant!". Her first entry was a comic called "Marcel Duchamp's Breakfast" in 2006 and from there she made over 300 more giving a comical and at times critical look at numerous iconic figures from pop culture and history among other areas. Beaton used traditional media to illustrate her stories using pencil and ink. While being a bit rough and untidy, there has been a sense of refinement with her drawings. There has been no set schedule for the new uploads so each are a surprise to followers. "Hark, A Vagrant!" gained a physical book form thanks to Drawn & Quarterly, a CORNER publisher supportive of comic artists and they will release Beaton's next books "The Princess and the Pony" in June and "Step Aside, Pops: A Hark, A Vagrant! Collection" in September. Visit harkavagrant.com to read "Hark, A Vagrant!" Nilah Magruder's "MM" Last month, Long Beach Comic Expo granted Nilah Magruder the honor of receiving the inaugural Dwayne McDuffie Award For Diversity for the first chapter of her webcomic "M.F.K." She launched the online series back in January 2012 though mentioned in a post in the website that Her list. Naturally, Nintendo is the best at everything, even making female protagonists. But what makes protagonist Samus Aran really stand out is how she was introduced. In the instruction manual for her debut game, she was continuously referred to as a "he." Players dove into the game playing as this mysterious, masked bounty hunter, and then, when all was said and done, came the shock: it was a girl the whole time!

"When I was growing up it was all about finding the prince but you don't have to get married or have children to be successful. If men can be that and still be successful, we can do it too." Huerta is living proof that anything can be done if you believe in it. she created the lead character Abbie in 2002. Since that initial concept, Magruder built a unique realm that Abbie must travel through to complete her late mother's final wish. Complications arose soon after she met teenager resident Jaime and his grandfather Iman during a sandstorm. She failed to go her separate way and becomes trapped in the tension between the superhuman Parapsi and the normal, poor Misma.

Rather than manipulate her mind into believing it was too late to make her dreams come true, Le felt there was no better time to live out the dreams she always envisioned. At eight years old, Le was introduced to the art of playing piano. Learning for years through private lessons, it was conspicuous that she had a gift. She was not only talented, but had a genuine love and passion for music. After attending Palomar for eight years while juggling studying and being a committed mother, she transferred B Y LEXY PEREZ ASSISTANT ENTERTAINMENT E DITOR Many of us have our own aspirations, but sometimes life can decide to have its own plan for us. Rather than fight the trials and tribulations, it can be common to give into the "fate" that we are left to deal with. Loc-Ha Le is a student who once substituted her journey in fulfilling her ambition to becoming a devoted mother. While she spent years dedicated to her family, she has grown to become the epitome of someone who decided to Cal State San Marcos, continuing to pursue music. Now after 10 years, Le is about to graduate and has been given the honor to have a Capstone solo piano performance at the end of the semester. "When I knew I was going to perform, I was nervous but more and more now I feel less nervous. All my years planned for this moment. I did try my best and if I make a mistake, it's because I 'm a human being," she said. The only thing in Le's mind is the fact that even at her age now, she has been able to prove to everyone and even herself that she succeeded simply from hard work. "I just feel a satisfaction. Whatever dream you build, if you just pursue it and keep continuing with it, you will get it. When you work hard, get the goal, anything can happen," she said. Exciting to live this rewarding moment in her life, Le said that women overall have all the capability of making a difference in this world. "The whole world we have today is thanks to women. Who would take care of the baby, be patient enough to teach the children, care for patients, etc. I 'm proud I'm a woman," proudly said Le. Le said in the authority of a woman, their strongest ability is to hide and be modest despite their influential roles . "Women work hard, but they are in silence. They are very quiet," she said. "They accept that inferior for their family. I think that is the essence of a women." After graduating, Le plans on earning her masters and continually committing herself to teaching more to apply music in the teachings of life. "I do believe in art and these days, people say that it's hard to make a living in art and if you pursue it, you will be- come poor," she said. "If you think it's really your passion, then follow your heart." Le lives by the idea that anything is possible if you just believe in your passion. "When you work hard, get a goal, anything can happen, so from now on you have to believe in yourself. If you get a goal and you know it's difficult, plan far ahead and gradually you will get there," she said. Loc-Ha Le will be performing from 2:30 p jn. to 3:30 p jn. on Thesday, April 7 in Arts 111 Performance Hall.

However, the heart of the film centers on Carol's struggle to find the strength to overcome her insecurities of THE COUGAR CHRONICLE NEWSPAPER being a female voice actor and ignoring the disapproval of her chauvinist father to pursue a chance at her dream. This is a clear representation of film industry today, where there are significantly less women, particularly in directing and writing positions, than men. The film makes it obvious that it is aiming to give a platform for women to be heard in the media today. Bell's rawness and humor make her extremely relatable and down to earth, and with a supporting cast that includes actors such as Nick Offerman, Geena Davis and Rob Corddry, the film is pleasant and entertaining to watch. "In a World" is brilliantly funny with a touch of heart that sends a powerful message about women's voices needing to be heard. The film was given 4 stars on Netflix and it is definitely worth levery single one. CAMPUS COFFEE SINCE 2004 NOW FOR S ALE!

Lemmons contributed a double-double in the final game. "I do anything I can to help the team win. If coach needs me to rebound or play defense, I do anything I can to meet our goal," he said. "It's nice tofinallysee the hard work is actually paying off. We made a name for ourselves the first year, got ranked the second and getting ranked number one this year; it feels good," three- year veteran, Brian Emmanuel, said. The Cougars are headed for a week of a challenge with the tournament being filled with the nation's best players at the small collegiate level. Thirty-two teams are slated to compete for the NAIA Division I Championship title through March 25. CSUSM's number one ranking leaves the rest of the league anticipating some great competition. "It's a great feeling, but we know rankings don't mean anything when going into the tournament and every team's going to be gunning for us, so it's like we got a c)iip on our shoulder," Lemmons said. "We just have to go in there and play hard and take it day by day." When asked if there were any specific teams to look out for, Emmanuel said there was not. The Cougars' selfless offense and defensive prowess gives the team a well-deserved confidence going into the tournament. CSUSM Cougars are set to play the thirty-second seed, Oklahoma Baptist, on Wednesday, March 19 in round one of the NAIA Division I tournament.

P resident c alls f or i ncrease in f ederal m inimum wage by 2016 By R YAN D O W N S SENIOR STAFF W RITER Students may be seeing a change in their federal and state based pay checks. Making minimum wage — It's arguably one of the most important things in the life of a student. For many, it's what keeps them busy while they're in school. For many others, it's the very thing keeping them in school while countless individuals rely on it keeping them alive. The minimum hourly wage that businesses are required to pay employees is a matter of economic importance not just for San Marcos, but for students everywhere and it may face some large changes in the coming months. The issue of minimum wage became a talking point recently, after a report by the Congressional Budget Office elaborated on a plan by the President to raise the nationwide minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10, tentatively by the year 2016. It's not too difficult to see why. In the last 14 years, the costs of education, gasoline, healthcare and living have all skyrocketed, whereas the wage has remained in a fixed position. Naturally, this affects many individuals in the labor force, but not necessarily in a positive way. According to the CBO, while the wage in- crease could make lives easier for upwards of 16 million 'Americans, it is also slated to cost approximately 500,000 workers their jobs. In other words, the act would actually increase unemployment, the boon being that the already employed would make more money. This comes as a result of companies making less money when customers are less willing to spend on products that will be more expensive to pay for the workers. However, the President remains optimistic, having acted as the primary force behind the bill since its inception. While the measure is expected to pass the primarily left-wing Senate in March, its W orkers' H ourly W ages a n d t he F ederal M inimum W age 2013 Dottore pm Hour Atfva) i t ttrs m* me m$ I C H OMO N A *ü»ö*T OM t OOI I M fC odds of surviving the more right-wing House are decidedly less hopeful; with many representatives pointing out the rather harsh increase in unemployment. It's a fair comparison, while alleviating the effects of the recession on the more vulner- N 30Ô3- 2008 able in our society, the initiative could very well make the recession worse. Some economists beg to differ, like Pension Chairman Tom Harkin, who stated "workers benefit from modest increases in the minimum wage without negative consequences for the low- wage job market," reminding individuals that an increase in revenue and circulation could very well increase job potential, cancelling out the increase in unemployment. Still, the benefits to those suffering in the labor force are undeniable and the increase in circulation could very well allow the creation of new jobs. Ultimately, the fate of the measure depends on its standing in Congress at this point, which remains to be seen. California's minimum wage is itself scheduled to increase with from $8 to $10 in the course of three years due to a biU passed Sept. 12, 2013. It will increase $1 increments instead of in one wage hike.

There is arguably no other sport that is more closely related to business than golf. The relatedness of business to golf spans from companies sponsoring professional tournaments, such as the local Farmers Insurance Open of Torrey Pines, to major business decisions and negotiations being done on the course. I — "i*r ¡1! I CSUSM's business professor, Dr. Edward Balian, is a seasoned vet in the world of business and is the author of Buddha Plays 18. His book takes an innovative approach to teaching the overlooked skill of being mentally sound while playing golf. For business professionals, golf can be a valuable tool. You learn so much about your business partners and clients by playing golf with them. The game reveals values, ethics and reaction to stress. Acts of courtesy are demonstrated by pulling the pin at the hole, shooting in the correct order and a proper attitude while in the lead.

This national park, which is the only one in San Diego County, has two levels to explore for some fun and exercise in the outdoors. The top level of the park includes the visitors' center and the lighthouse. The bay side trail is a 2.5 mile round trip hike that starts at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and, not surprisingly, weaves its way along the bay side of the park. From this trail, visitors can pass by old clues to Point Loma's role and existence during WWI and WWII. The journey is filled with sweeping views of the beautiful harbor and Coronado Island.

If you do have a bad game, make sure to carry your sense of humor with you. "Your behavior during the round is going to be remembered a lot longer than your score," Balian said.

There is also another short trail that starts at the lighthouse and offers views to the west, including a lookout for whales during December through February and the kelp forest. After checking out the topside trails, lighthouse and Cabrillo Statue, there is still more to see down at the tide pools . The tide pools can be reached by a narrow road that turns offrightby the entrance to the park. From three different parking lots, hikers can find a trail and continue their journey, witnessing the waves crashing on the cliffs and experiencing a closer view of the ocean. Cabrillo National Monument is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a $5 entrance fee per car. More information about Cabrillo can be found at http://www.nps. gov/cabr/index .htm. Probiotics, also known as "good" bacteria, are live microorganisms that inhabit our bodies naturally. They have become of popular interest recently because of the supposed health benefits. Although the FDA has not yet approved any of its health claims, probiotics are used to help with certain health conditions, especially with the digestive health of our gastrointestinal tracts. The body, especially *he gastrointestinal tract, is host to many different species of bacteria that are not considered to be germs but necessary for proper functioning. , Probiotics, which are found in products like supplements and yogurt, contain similar bacteria that are beneficial for our gut. Although sufficient scientific evidence is lacking for Learn more: specific uses of probiotics, the research is looking promising. The possible beneficial mechanisms of probiotics for human health include reducing harmful microorganisms in the GI tract and producing antimicrobial compounds, which either destroy or suppress the growth of unwant- ed bacteria. Probiotics may also stimulate the immune response. While there still needs to be strong evidence provided on probiotics, they generally seem to be safe for use. Talk to your doctor before using probiotics.

At the Union, we are still in the process of figuring out what we can and cannot accommodate, what we can do and what is too much," International Beat Traveling through Europe B Y EMMA GRACE FAIRCHILD STUDY A BROAD C OLUMNIST One of the first things I noticed upon my arrival in Stockholm was the trend that everyone I spoke with had previously done a lot of traveling. While it seemed most of it was contained within Europe, there were also many people who frequent parts of Africa, the Middle East or Southeast Asia. At first I was intimidated by the worldliness of so many of my peers. Then I considered the span of states I have covered in the US and how new friends here would press me about the differences between them. Now, instead of shame for never having left the country before this experience, I feel contented that I have been to eight states and explored a great deal of California (which is large enough on its own). But since I have settled in Scandinavia, I realize the proximity of so many unique cultures, languages and landscapes. There are affordable-flights (less than $75 for round trips sometimes), boats for cruises to several neighboring countries and comfortable, affordable trains as well. Weekends between exams are notorious for "booze cruises." The al- Map of Europefrommappinet.com cohol is cheap and duty free, and you spend a day in Estonia, Latvia or Finland. Personally, I have already spent four days in England and have a five day trip to Poland in the works. The decision to go to England was easy. I have a friend who lives outside of London that I really wanted to see (and who I could stay with for free). I flew into Gatwick airport in London. With a bit of help from the aforementioned friend, I bought train tickets in advance, which would deposit me in her country suburb. Evenlhough Sweden is, fairly easy to get around as an English speaking traveler, it was a relief to see every sign and hear every announcement in my native language in England. I ended up spending a three day weekend playing around the country side with my friend and her three dogs, getting rained on and experiencing parts of local culture. I tried traditional 'tea for two' in a garden restaurant (amazing) and atefishand chips out of butcher paper (also amazing). On my last day, I was able to spend several hours exploring London itself before myflightback to Stockholm, which was a great experience. I chose two places-prior to my arrival and simply explored, with no destination or plan. Camden Market was an interesting experience. I found it to be a big-city version of Venice Beach, without the body builders. I had a wonderful time overall, and can't wait to go back and do all of the touristy things London has to offer- Big Ben, the London Bridge, etc. And the flight was only two hours. I'm really looking forward to my trip to Poland. I am going with afriendfrom school this time, so all of the costs can be shared and experiences had together. After that, a cruise to Tallinn in Estonia is definitely in order, and maybe a trip to the other side of Sweden to see Gothenburg. Ultimately, living in the states gives me proximity to see other parts of the states, and living in Europe gives me the opportunity to see more diverse and historical parts of the world. Provencio said. "It has so much to offer to clients and students, but the USU is just a whole different process. We have not discovered what we can do there yet, while at the Clarke we have had it for years and know its capacity." Provencio and Nagel both work underneath Megan Simpson, the Professional Events Planner for the USU who also works for Events and Conference Services. They work to represent the Events office, Clarke and Union well through their hard work and networking with various individuals and groups on campus. "I know a lot of students involved in various organizations, so it is easier for me to contact people for specifics and events. I build relationships amongst professional staff as well, and when events happen I introduce myself," Nagel said. "My name is being presented in that area, so when people come in they know who is running the events within the building and who they can ask when they need things. With the student staff I supervise, it has helped me build relationships with people and delegate work. I try to make their shift as enjoyable as possible since they do a lot of hard work." "This job is so socially involved with students, staff and faculty that you just meet so many different people. They start to recognize you on campus and it is good to build positive relationships with clients because you work with them multiple times," Provencio said. "A lot has been expected of me and I am glad that 1 have been able to fulfill expectations and to be a good face of the Union." Provencio and Nagel strive for careers in the business field after graduating from college. Nagel plans to apply for a professional management position at the USU at the end of the semester, when she graduates with a degree in business entrepreneurship. She aims to open her own business in the future. Provencio aims to secure an events planning position for a city or large corporation. She hopes to eventually orchestrate events that draw large crowds of people, like the New York City ball drop on New Year's Eve or the Pasadena Rose Parade.

The commentaries following the letter lends support to Farrow, and many of those commentaries described similar experiences of sexual abuse without the Hollywood light. I could not help but ponder the thought of how we could come to prove accusations of child abuse? As a Mexican woman who experienced child sexual abuse at the age of seven, I can attest to the experience where, based on the lack of evidence that victims are sometimes unable to provide, we are questioned whether the alleged sexual abuse occurred. Alleged; interesting word. I cannot think of reasons why a seven year old would happen to give such a vivid story of the abuse and still be questioned. Now, I do understand that as a society we live under the Rule of Law, and we are to always be viewed innocent until proven guilty. What about if you cannot prove the guilt? It is a controversial subject, especially when concerning children. For Farrow's disdain, there is no form of evidence that provided enough proof. Then there is the psychological effect of child abuse that arises issues well beyond evidence of proof. For example, in my case, I was sexually abused for a period of years.

With the amount of walking CSUSM students do across campus, it is wise for them to consider how issues with their shoes and feet can contribute to joint issues as well as hip and back pain. Shoes with even the slightest heel can affect the way men and women walk. Heeled shoes cause feet to point in a downward position, putting unnecessary pressure on the forefoot. When pressure is placed on the forefoot, people tend to lean backward, contradicting the lower half of the body's inclined, forward position. Heals also cause abnormalities in the way people walk as it limits the foot's natural function to push against the ground when stepping. These walking irregularities have a critical impact on a person's posture, causing their spine to flatten: contradicting the spine's natural s-curvature. Stresses to the spine further displace the body's hips by putting too much pressure on the lower back. Chronic overuse of the hip-flexors then leads to excessive force on knee joints. To alleviate some of the excess pressure on the knees, the body tends to react by adjusting the shin inward. Aside from daily discomfort, continual unnatural walking habits can even lead to osteoarthritis in joints. In all honesty, barefoot is the best and most natural way to go. However, due to health and comfort concerns, many students are not open to the idea of going barefoot. If that is the case, it is imperative that students begin to look at what kind of shoes they are wearing in order-to prevent long term issues with back, hip and knee abnormalities. It is best to avoid or limit use of heeled and pointed shoes as well as flip-flops; pointed shoes and flip-flops can cause abnormalities in toe grip, displacing natural foot rhythms. Instead, students should take the time to consider shoes that are comfortable and that aid in stabilizing the foot before conquering "Cal State Stair Master."

"It was a very enlightening film which lifted the veil of current events that most Americans are oblivious to. Speaking for myself, I was unaware that we were still at war with Afghanistan and the imagery produced from watching the film was very heart wrenching and has made me curious as to why media only covers 'two percent' of this war," Lana Cook, film screening attendee, said. A fellow student and Veteran who attended the screening was not willing to share his perspective of the film because of the hardship that he encountered by watching thefilm.The content truly hit home, and touches on issues that spark emotions that run deep. As soldiers return home and are slowly discharged from service due to government budget cutbacks, they are left to society and their families to work through the horrors that were experienced in the name of protecting and defending a country that appears tcv have forgotten about them. Our military counts every soldier as a body. When that body is unfit to fulfill its purpose, it is disregarded in a manner that is of the smallest expense to government funding as possible, in hopes of saving the taxpayers' dollars. Yet in the long run, this is costing society and the Department of Veterans Affairs far more in expenses for being proactive infindingthese people help. "I am aware that the war in Afghanistan is still going on WORLD PREMIERE FESTIVAL DEL FILM LOCARNO 2012 even though our media acts like it is over. I get my information from a news page on Facebook that I follow, and through word of mouth when I discuss recent news with friends and family. I do not know why the troops are there. My guess is that they are keeping a watch on Al-Qaeda to make sure they do not attack the U.S. again," an Events Assistant at the Clarke and the University Student Union, Gabri Provencio, said. "Sequestration and budget pressures continue to place unacceptable pressure on our Army, its soldiers, families and civilian employees. Military retirement and retiree health care programs are under attack by those who view the programs as 'overly generous' and programs affecting the Army's ability to train and equip its forces are whittled away," according to the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) News membership report for 2014. There is so much to the story still untold. The average civilian will never have the capacity to fully understand. There is no true way of describing the full experience of tragedy that is suffered by a soldier or sailor that joined the service to defend the rights of his or her people to find out that their sacrifices were ignored. 'Far From Afghanistan' is a film that should not be missed. This act of humanitarianism does not end with just the film.

So far, ASI Presidential candidate Daniel Cruz has dropped just a week before elections started leaving Matt Walsh and Israel Irizarry on the ballot. The week of March 25-28, candidates will be campaigning during U-Hour and in between classes. Signs encouraging students to vote have already been placed around campus. Candidates f or ASI President are competing with what they believe students are looking for in an ASI President. Irizarry, a fourthyear Marketing major who held the position of College of Business Administrative Representative this past year states, "I've seen the other side of campus and have met people I haven't met before. Therefore I feel there needs a different face for president, coming from a different background." In his campaign video Irizarry states "I feel the communication and diversity could be improved here." Past and current candidates have expressed this as an issue.

Photo by Kristin Melody "the other candidates are great but I 'm a listener." He also explains his plans on how to change this epidemic, "My major is marketing so I have that background. I want to focus on social media like newsletters, YouTube links, etc." Since being actively part of ASI Board of Directors, Irizarry knows what it takes to improve student involvement. "People still don't know who to go to on campus. I want the students to know that I am available through email, phone, text, Facebook. However, ASI is the face of the ASI President, not me. It's a team effort." Irizarry mentioned how the controversial Student Success Fee has a miscommunication among students and the faculty. Walsh, who has been actively participating in the process as a student representative on the Task Force states, "Well I 'm part of the Task Force and they don't have a say. Our goal is to solicit information to the students and back to the Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC). We are more behind the scenes like what the website will look like or dates that work for the students." In addition to his focus on the Student Success Fee, Walsh has three main goals, "There are three groups on campus that don't have a voice and they are graduate students, extended learning students and the veterans center. They pay for ASI fees so they should be given the appropriate resources. Second, I don't want just one student sitting on a bunch of committees but more students to participate. There The Dream is Now Campaign, following the hopes of The DREAM Act, is currently holding a contest from March 5 through April 5 to encourage students throughout the country to sign an online petition and submit art (videos, songs, drawings and poems) displaying their support for The DREAM Act. The bipartisan legislation, originally developed by Sen. Orrin Hatch [R-UT] and Sen. Richard Durbin [D-IL] aims to allow undocumented students to be eligible to complete their college degree or two years of military service in providing them a 6-yearlong conditional path to citizenship, according to dreamact.info. The Dream is Now cam- paign is targeting college students for outreach in the hopes of spreading the word throughout campuses and advocating for reform. The contest is to win a chance at screening the Dream is Now documentary on the campus of their college or University. The students who gain the most* signatures from their college or university will also receive an all expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to watch the premiere* of the documentary. TheDreamIsNow.org was originally created by Laurene Powell Jobs—widow of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs—and filmmaker Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth" and "Waiting for Superman").

Effective Monday, March 11, the Sprinter will continue to be out-of-service for an unknown amount of time. NCTD officials have stated that there is no set date for when it is expected to resume running. For students, this means the reliable train won't be stopping at its convenient locations for some time. "It came at a bad time, having been before school finished for the semester for CSUSM students. It is what it is, though. They can't sacrifice safety and at least they are providing an alternative with bus transportation in the meantime," second-year-student Brett Goudy said. Since the Sprinter is a main source for transportation for many students and residents ranging from Oceanside to Escondido, the NCTD has provided alternate bus routes to accommodate the lack of service throughout North County. Two supplemental bus routes are the 618 Sprinter Express to travel from the Oceanside Transit Center to the Vista Transit Center operating from 4:35 a.m. until 12:18 a.m. (Monday-Friday), and the 620 Sprinter Express traveling from the Oceanside Transit Center to the Escondido Transit Center every 30 minutes beginning at 4:10 a.m. until 9:40 p.m. (Monday- Friday). To offer further accommodation to passengers, NCTD staff, also known as the "Blue Crew" will be stationed to aid passengers with information to alternative routes to make the transition from train to bus easier. According to Tom Tulley, the Chief of Safety at NCTD, a Recovery Task Force has been assigned to aid information and questions as long as the Sprinter remains outof-service. According to the "Backon-the-Track Blog" written by Tulley, the main issue causing the Sprinter service to be temporarily suspended occurred during testing of the brakes on March 7. Management was alerted when maintenance discovered a potential issue with the brake SPRINTER CONTINUED ON 2 �2 N ews Editor: Melissa Martínez cousarchron.news@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,2013 SPRINTER FROM I Rollin' with UPD B Y BEN CARLSON STAFF WRITER Everyone owes it to themselves to ride along with a police officer at least once in their lives, preferably not after an arrest, of course. Though I knew the chance of witnessing some action on the safest campus in California would be minuscule, riding with the University Police Department (UPD) had its moments. I started the day at the UPD headquarters where Sergeant Troy Holmes performed a quick background check on me, making sure, as he put it, "I wasn't a terrorist." I then took a tour through the building with the sergeant, viewing the UPD holding cells, interrogation room and the police armory which stores most of their weapons. The most eye-opening room in the building, though, was the surveillance room. Dozens of screens fill the dark room, all of them displaying multiple camera angles on campus. This room runs 24 hours a day and there is constant focus on all of the buildings, hallways, and walkways on CSUSM. According to Chief McManus, there has been over 100 cameras installed on CSUSM since a few years ago. The rise in surveillance is not just an effort to keep the campus safe, but was a response to the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. "Virginia Tech changed everything," the chief said in between drags of his cigarette. "Security measures were installed that is now common on most universities in California." As for the ride itself, I cannot seem to convey the experience of striking fear into fellow students as they walked by without some sort of glee. The joy of wearing aviators and staring down students with a stern expression is something every person should experience before they die. I also found the banter between myself and the officers enjoyable, though my stories were pathetic compared to their own tales of close calls and heroism. Despite the quiet day, I enjoyed my time with the officers of the UPD. CSUSM should be grateful to have such an outstanding group of men and women patrolling the campus. Though we may not always be thrilled when a cop rolls by, it doesn't matter. They can see you anyway, and at least if they can see you, you'll be safe. pads, causing them to create a squeal when they were used. After replacing the brake pads, maintenance discovered the rotors (a metal plate that applies pressure to the brakes) were wearing out quicker than projected. On his blog, Tulley offers a two-step plan to bring the Sprinter to recovery; safely and efficiently including a testing of the trains and a DREAM FROM I zenship if The DREAM Act is passed. According to Terrence's video, he is one of 2.1 million youths in America brought to the U.S. as a young child. "On top of that [the estimated $23,000 per person it would cost to deport undocumented citizens], we stand to lose an estimated $329 billion by 2030 by denying them the chance to become taxpaying citizens and economic innovators. We can't afford to waste their talents," plan of action, consisting of testing the brakes, temporarily interrupting operation, and working with specialists of brake systems in testing stopping distance, efficiency and predicting projected usage of equipment. Tulley stated in his twostep plan to bring the Sprinter to recovery, "As soon as any irregularity or issue with a vital system like the brakes is discovered, the safety standstated the TheDreamlsNow. org website. Opposition to the DREAM Act references the hidden costs of the program, the lack of restriction and the lack of holding participants to standards.

Extended Learning gets high marks at conference CSUSM addresses the Latino male shortage in education and attepts to find solution B Y BOBBY RIVERA STAFF WRITER The lack of Latino males in education was the topic of discussion at the "Changing Face of the American Educator" symposium conference held earlier this month. CSUSM addressed the issue and has taken action by appointing Arturo Ocampo as the university chief diversity officer. The conference at the Mt. San Jacinto Menifee campus on Saturday, March 9 was co-sponsored by Extended Learning and the local nonprofit group Encuentros Leadership. "Encuentros Leadership was organized in 2003 to address the alarmingly high school dropout rates of Latino males within North County San Diego," Antonio Mora, board chair of Encuentros Leadership and CSUSM alumnus, said. "Encuentros Leadership was formed to address the critical educational, social and economic issues impacting the quality of education and life opportunities for Latino boys within our community."

Weaver was arrested on campus on the final day of voting, March 15, when staff in the university's HTS department noticed strange voting patterns from a single computer in Academic Hall. The HTS staff were able to remotely access Weaver's computer to watch him cutting and pasting other students IDs into online ballots, and another technician entered the computer lab where Weaver was sitting and filmed his activities with a cell phone camera. As part of the plea agreement, Weaver also admitted co-authored University of the Pacific's first diversity strategic plan, which included developing and delivering targeted récruitment and outreach to underrepresented students; developing faculty and staff hiring guidelines resulting in increased faculty of color and women faculty in STEM fields; and leading the effort to institutionalize the diversity course requirement. In a March 15 statement from the president's office, Mr. Ocampo has the "responsibility for ensuring equity in all university matters, from hiring to internal conflict resolution. He will help shape policies ànd procedures that respect differences within the university community, as well as play a key role in bringing greater awareness to issues of inclusivity and diversity" With statistics showing low, graduation rates for men of color, the hiring of Ocampo will be measured first by new faculty faces he brings into the classroom.

The Cougars wasted no time setting the tone for the first game of the scheduled doubleheader when they sprinted out to a 3-0 lead in thefirstinning. With the bases loaded, Kody Sepulveda came through with a hard ground ball to the shortstop to bring around Kyle Secciani for the score. Kyle Kuck brought around two more runs with his single which found its way in between the first and second basemen to take the 3-0 lead. Kuck came through in the third inning with another 2 RBI single to the right field to score Bentson and Belzer to finish 2-3 with a team high 4 RBIs. Marcus Meraz and Mike Guadagnini would both add 2 more RBIs to put the Cougars up 7-0 at the end of the third inning. PLNU scored 2 more runs in the seventh inning to pull within one of the Cougars before Kenny Belzer belted a solo homerun to left field to increase the lead 8-5. The solo homerun by Belzer would ultimately be the deciding run in the game as Point Loma scored 2 runs early in the eighth to come a run within the Cougars and finishing the game 8 - 7 . The second game was more back and forth run scoring battle between the Sea Lions and Cougars with Point Loma scoring 2 and ending the third with a 3 - 2 lead Brandon Bentson and Kenny Belzer would come through for the Cougars in a big way when they would hit back to back clutch hits in the fifth inning. Belzer doubled to left center field to score while l yier Bernard, and Bentson singled right after to bring around Belzer. In the game's final frame, Hertzmann would once again be called upon to shut the door and seal the win for the Cougars. "Hertzmann had a great in closing, he came in twice and did a great j ob for us, but we are playing great as a team and winning the close games we were losing last year," coach Dennis Pugh said. "Today was a great example that we can do something other than pitch, our pitching wasn't the best but today we did a good j ob with the bat with the comeback in the second game." CSUSM now sits 22-2 this season going into a stretch of games which Coach Pugh says will be a good test f or them against teams like San Diego Christian who they play today and tomorrow at home. A thlete Spotlight: H unter B rown B Y J ULIANA S TUMPP A & E EDITOR This baseball season, our Cougars have been on their top game with impressive win-loss ratio of 2f2-2. The team has started the season offrightand by the looks of it, will end the season even better. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with one of the team's pitchers, Hunter Brown, a right-hand pitcher from Encinitas who is in his junior year as a business major. Question: How long have you been playing baseball? Answer: I've been playing my.entire life. I started in tee-ball and played for a couple teams. I stopped playing in sixth grade but joined my high school's team when I was a senior. I was scouted by Indiana University when I was at Grossmont Junior College. Q: What is the best thing about playing a t CSUSM? A: I like that we have more freedom, the freedom to what will make the game better. The coaches are good at catering to what the player's skills are and what they need personally. Q: How do you balance athletics and academics? A: I kind of have to find the time. It's the same for any college student, except baseball takes the place of a job or working, but it helps at the same time because I need to be eligible to play so it motivates me to do well in school. I 'm a student first. Q: Who is your inspiration? A: My father has always been there. Ever since I was a little kid, he would come to the games and support me. I 've traveled around the country for baseball on his dime so he is really supportive and has given me so many opportunities I never thought were possible. Q: Do you have any pregame rituals to get you Now Hirin pumped u p? A: I usually try to stay calm and relaxed; I don't want to get stressed about it. I've learned to balance my adrenaline and how to turn it on or off. I just treat game days like its practice,, any other day. Q: What is your practice schedule like? Do you have your own personal regimen? À: We have practice from noon - 2:30 p.m., four to six days a week. I need to take care of my arm and make sure it stays in shape or else my body will break down. For me, it's year round. Last year I was playing competitive baseball in Maryland. Since it was pver summer, it's not as strict but it kept me in shape. Q : What is your f uture plans with the sport? A: Ideally, I'd like to get drafted, but in the meantime I 'm going to school for a degree in business marketing. �— ———————• 4 A F eatures E ditor: ••• c ougarchron.features@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,2013 bm Ahi • • aa^ mm r tAI U K b b Dolce Italia: A taste of Italy right in San Marcos B Y BOBBY RIVERA STAFF W RITER Lucky five-cup s alad Want to keep the spirit of St. Patrick's Day going throughout the entire month of March?

Champions in the community: Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, The Catholic Club from a professor who inspires students and faculty alike a member's perspective B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF W RITER Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi's relentless commitment to helping others, combined with her selfless demeanor, is truly changing the lives of many CSUSM students. Dr. Laura is very involved on campus. She is a Civility Champion and the primary reason for the wonderful twice a month food distributions at Summit Church, which has helped feed so many in need. In addition, she also co-teaches the kinesiology internship course. Dr. Laura is always look- ing for more opportunities for her internship students. There aren't many other programs that offer these kinds of opportunities, and she ensures that her students are taking advantage of it. Dr. Laura makes it her personal mission to give every student the opportunity to succeed. Dr. Laura is unquestionably popular amongst her students and colleagues. As a graduating senior, I have witnessed first-hand the impact that Dr. Laura has on her students and the CSUSM faculty. Having developed a great relationship with her, she has become a mother to me in so many aspects of my life. I honestly cannot recall one thing she has done that wasn't for someone else. It certainly isn't everyday that you come across someone so special. "What makes Dr. Laura so special is her selflessness, her eagerness to help others. Rather than acknowledging her own accomplishments, she acknowledges everyone else's instead. She cares for all of her students as if they were her own, and that's what I love about her. She's our teacher, advisor, guru, mom, friend, support system and inspiration," kinesiology major and Kinesiology Club president Junemy Pantig said. Dr. Laura not only inspires others but also finds joy in what she does. "Here is the thing, it is a selfish thing for me when I give to others. I think I always receive more than I give," Dr. Laura said. Dr. Laura embodies the spirit of giving in everything she does. Whatever you need her to be, she will try to be that for you. The world would be a much better place if Dr. Laura's eagerness to help others existed in all of us. Students given opportunity to learn about healthier living B Y RYAN DOWNS SENIOR STAFF W RITER The Clarke inspires students on ways to take care of their bodies, and this coming April they plan to celebrate this with their annual Wellness Fair. The 2013 Earth Day Wellness Fair, which will be held on April 17 at the Clarke, will showcase new ways tb promote student wellness on campus . The idea behind the fair is to raise this awareness for health and wellness by giving students new ways SMARTPHONE 10:30 AM fc Where can Ifind out about my health?1* At The Clarke Wellness Connection on April 17th at 10:30am, V mm they can physically better themselves and their environment while celebrating good health. In the past, the Clarke has conducted the fair by working with various local businesses dedicated to health services in order to reach students in a unique way. However, as Melissa Martinez, coordinator of the Wellness Fair, pointed out, there are far more dimensions to "wellness" than just physical health. The event is a celebration of multicultural, occupational, financial and spiritual wellness as well, with plenty of free food, prizes and activities for those who attend. "This year, the fair is targeted towards Earth Day and conserving resources to better our environment," Martinez said. According to Martinez, the fair is generally successful, with an average of three hundred students in attendance. "Specifically, our goal is to provide information to students as well as a fun, interactive event to get students together and involved," Martinez said. The fair is more than just a fun event for students, however. The fair has historically been a very successful promoter for local businesses looking to advertise to students, who can expect a lot of benefits upon attending . The Wellness Fair will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on April 23 at the Clarke and is free to attend. B Y JESSIE GAMBKELL O PINION E DITOR The CSUSM Catholic Club allows myself and other students to learn, embrace and actively participate in the Catholic faith on campus. With the club meeting every Wednesday night, 7 - 9 p.m. in room 110 of the Clarke, we have a set time every week to come together as a group and discuss our religion. "I'm proud to say that my best friends are people that I met through Catholic Club. I have enjoyed seeing the club grow throughout my four years at Cal State," Catholic Club President, Andrew Reed said. We have rotating scheduled activities such as a speaker night, a social night, Bible study night with Matthew Rossio and mass with Father Patrick from the Miles Christi religious order, followed by confessions and questions for a priest. The club also occasionally takes our meetings off campus and into the community. On March 13, myself, and nearly 20 members of CSUSM's Catholic Club, walked in silence from our regular Wednesday meeting to light candles and pray in front of stairs of the PPH medical facility in remembrance of aborted fetuses. Within the PPH facility is the North County Women's Medical Clinic that does offer abortion services. "It was beautiful, a bunch of college kids taking a good chunk of time out of their schedule to walk to the abortion clinic and pray the rosary; asking for the intersection of our Mother Mary to protect these babies," club member, Kaylee Toole said. "It was a beautiful night with a great and dedicated community." The club also ventured out to a Habitat For Humanity volunteer project down in La Mesa on March 22, to help rebuild a house for the homeless. We put paneling on the side of the house as well as planted fresh landscaping around the yard. The elub is also in the process of planning a foodpacking event that is to be determined sometime in April. The Catholic Club also goes out after our meetings to In-N-Out Burger or other local fast food restaurants to hang out and enjoy a late night snack together as a group. The Intervarsity Club has joined us on multiple occasions. People who wish to become involved can like the Catholic Club on Facebook or email Club President, Andrew Reed directly at: r eed052@cougars.csusm. edu.

Many students take the Sprinter as a means of transportation to get to and from the university each day. If you yourself are not a Sprinter rider, I am sure that you know many people who do. Given the fact that about 400 CSUSM students a month ride the Sprinter every day to get to school according to the parking and commuter services. Now that it has shut down, CSUSM has had to provide bus support for those who would otherwise have no means of getting to campus. "Having to take the bus everyday to and from where the Sprinter would normally drop you off takes longer, since there are no certain times when it comes and goes," Sprinter commuter student, Josefa Gregorio said. Cougar Ask? "Plus there are less seats on the bus than the Sprinter so you have to stand up. Since the buses use the freeways, there is more traffic and there is more potential for the bus to break down more often. My friend got stuck in that situation." Knowing how the state works, the claimed two to four months of repair will probably turn into six to eight months which would really be an inconvenience to the students and the school. Now that we have seen the other side of the fence, we realize just how essential the Sprinter light rail way is to us and how desperately we need it back. Hopefully they can repair the breaks as soon as possible so that commuter transit can go back to normal before people get fed-up with the Sprinter system. If you have any opinions on the Sprinter shutting down, please send them into cougarchron^pinion@gmail.com and we can put them on our website or our Facebook.

As you all may well be aware of, since many students look forward to their allotted days off of school; some students feel they are being robbed of a day off for Ceasar Chavez Day and Presidents' Day. Our school is the only state school in California that takes Ceasar Chavez Day off instead of the national holiday, Presidents' Day. Many have mixed feelings about this due to the fact that it falls during spring break. See what the editors think: "I am in favor of having days off in general. TThat being said, I see it as just for the school to honor Ceasar Chavez, especially considering the history with the school allowing for him to be honored with the Chavez Stairs. I find it so curious that people are getting worked up over this, when some of them aren't exactly well versed in the why." - Copy Editor Keandre Williams-Chambers "Caesar Chavez Day and Presidents' Day should be days that students do not have classes. I think that if there are times when we should not go to school because of a holiday, it should be days where we are celebrating people that have made a significant difference in our fives. However, Caesar Chavez Day should be a separate day off from spring break." - Features Editor Katie Sweeney "We do get presidents day off during winter break, the CSU system just celebrates it earlier than the K-12 school system, we . do get it off, it's just celebrated earlier. It's not really choosing between Cesar Chavez and Presidents' Day since we get them both off." - News Editor Melissa Martinez "Being that Presidents' Day is a national holiday and Ceasar Chavez day is memorial day of sorts; I feel it is unfair that our school is the only school in the state that takes Ceasar Chavez day off instead of Presidents' Day. True, Ceasar Chavez was a great man and should be honored for it, but it does not mean replacing it with the national holiday that honors our great presidents." - Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell Loss of interest in human capital B Y A NNE H A L L STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Earn extra money far college & slimmer break! $5,000 and up!

After the meeting, I had discussed the option of petitioning to the state as concerned students, with the director. She basically informed me that, "Yes, students have tried to petition to the state in the past about funding when the budget was cut in previous years," and, "No, there has never been any success." People are strong in numbers. We're not the only school that is going through this, other colleges have already implemented such fees and students have been forced to pay. If we were to petition, we have to make that petition statewide, or even national. Going beyond that, we need students and faculty to join together from all schools, including parents and students, even those that have been denied admission. We should write detailed letters asking why the funds need to be increased, what it is going towards, and how negatively we feel that we have to pay additional fees. Especially when our tax dollars are supposed to be supporting these things so that we don't have to take extra money out of our pockets to get a decent education from the State funded schools. "Our best investment is in people and in educating people. I am very concerned about the lack of funding at all levels^ federal, state, and local. Since taxes pay for education, the issue is clearly political. I wouldn't put it solely on, the government, though. We all have a stake in education and we need to speak up and advocate for the best possible education for all of our children. I am especially concerned about inequity. Kids in more affluent neighborhoods have more opportunities than kids from impoverished neighborhoods. I've never met a kid who wasn't capable, but I have met a many kids who haven't had opportunities and that really saddens me." Dr. Merryl Goldberg said. People are homeschooling their children more now than ever because the education within public school systems has continued to decline in quality, as well as continued to become more and more unsafe for grades K-12. Standards in California have been raised over the years and no one without a bachelor's degree is going to work anywhere in this state without starting at or just above minimum wage for a number of years without already having work experience and a degree. Considering we're one of the most costly states in the nation, and our state obligates us to have to commute to do anything within our cities, the expense of living is already a great burden on our inhabitants. More and more youths are being denied the privilege of a higher education and depleting the quality of knowledgeable individuals within our communities. "Students, young people are the most basic form of wealth in our country. They < are the future and reflect what will come. People are human capital that fundamentally creates wealth. Instead of our society investing in our own human capital through education as an investment in our future and prosperity we are seeing something downright criminal, with 5 percent of GDP spent on weapons, the military and surveillance of our population as student debt surpasses credit card debt. I don't agree that our government is completely to blame. It's clear the American population seems to have limited interest in changing this situation. With limited exceptions around the country, students were silent about the wars, confused about the economy and seem to be generally disinterested in creating change. We have so many other things to do with all of our distractions that we cannot see how the bigger picture in our lives has already shifted and don't realize that intermission is coming." Professor Marcos Martinez said. The government has made it clear that they are creating this environment on purpose...so as individuals, we all have to make our positions clear as to how we truly are being affected. If we are ignored after showering lobbyists with detailed letters and statements I 'm afraid to see what would happen next. �f Opinion Editor: cougarchron.opinion@gmaii.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,2013 W A N T E D : A ppropriate C esar C havez d ay off...for o nce!

I 'm not complaining, but it's not j ust the students that want a free day to hang out with friends or catch up on school work; professors do as well. It seems it would have been more appropriate to have Presidents' Day off, instead of Cesar Chavez Day off even though no one would have been on campus anyways. We all have busy schedules and the university should give the people on campus the courtesy of a day off during the spring semester. The Cesar Chavez statue that sits on campus. Photo by Morgan Hall.

Next year Cesar Chavez Day falls on March 31, hopefully the university will be considerate enough to schedule spring break around that date. Hot button issue: Campus Ministry USA Apparently God hates us all L etter t o t he E ditor C ampus Ministry U SA has the right t o free speech To: Editor, Cougar Chronicle and any other interested persons: With regard to the man (with the atheist sign) and woman (with the bullhorn) on campus this past Ihesday, March 12,2013: I respectfully request that they be asked to give up the bullhorn or leave campus when next they visit. In case no one on staff was aware of their presence, the following is a summary of their actions and the reasons for my request. The gentleman with the sign was relatively respectful of the CSUSM community. He simply stood in the common area outside of Starbucks and the Kellogg Library holding a sign proclaiming, ' It is easy to be an atheist... J can show you proof of God's existence in the bible." I don't find his actions objectionable and feel if he simply wishes to stand on campus with a sign; his right to free speech should be acknowledged. An open conversation regarding opposing views should be encouraged. For example, can he prove God's existence without the Bible? I 'm just asking.... The woman, on the other hand, requires'some education about the CSUSM community and civility. With bullhorn in hand she stood in the same area outside of Starbucks and the library yelling about different diseases caused by oral sex, "back door" sex and made other unsubstantiated claims. I felt that her rhetoric was aimed solely at CSUSM women. However, she may have been targeting our members of the LGBTQ community as well. She also spoke of persons who would refute her claims as those who also deny " ...the judgment that is to come." As for my reasons, they include aspects of civility, mutual respect and freedom of speech issues. Representatives from different faiths routinely visit our campus and hand out literature. We also have members of the Jewish, Krishna, Christian and Muslim faiths, agnostics and atheists in residence at CSUSM. As students at CSUSM, many of us are just learning about the critical thinking process and exercising our free will without close parental guidance. Critical thinking and free will are two of the cornerstones of any good educational process. While many of the visiting and in-house organizations offer information about themselves; they do it in such a way that we exercise our free will in the taking or leaving of offered literature. We can choose to be part of the conversation. The woman's bullhorn and the yelling essentially removed us from the conversation and turned us into a congregation for this woman's opinions. I am unwilling to listen to the judgments and unsubstantiated medical claims this woman made. I had the option of walking away. I did. I find it unreasonable and disrespectful of this woman to shut out involvement of the community using a bullhorn. She has an opinion, I respect that. I don't respect her way of disseminating it to our community. We, as students and community members of CSUSM, have the right to embrace or walk away from groups offering information about themselves. We have the right to offer a reasonable opinion in rebuttal to what we are hearing or reading. I feel that the open exchange of ideas or opinions is essential for mental growth, civility, understanding and respect. If CSUSM does not have a policy regarding the actions and behaviors of visiting groups, perhaps it is time to make one and respectfully escort those visitors who won't comply with it to the curb. They should be held to the same standards we are when they are in our community.

Unfortunately, these bitter pilgrims attracted a large crowd of students whom they hoped to convert through their convincing arguments. Among these brilliant tirades included the insight that all women are "whores" if they sleep with a man before marriage. "She was ridiculous. Calling all males disease infested individuals," student Christopher Dods said, recounting listening to one of the female ministers preach. Apparently, fellow CSUSM students, we are all going to hell. While I may not agree with the members of Campus Ministry USA, I do support their right to... well, you know. That being said, there seems to be a need for critical response. While many of the students who stood around the ministry decided to fire back with obscenities and additional colorful language, I must insist on writing a clean rebuttal. One sign the ministry brought to campus read "It's easy to be an atheist when you don't think about where everything (inW endolyn Leal Preaching members of the Campus Ministry USA in front of Library Plaza on March 12.

Cider first came on stage sporting a bald cap impersonating the pop star Pitbull singing along to songs like "Hotel Room Service," "I Know You Want Me" and "Back in Time." After a few more sets of performances, there was a small intermission that was immediately followed by a drag queen and king contest in which audience members could win the title of the night. There was a women's and men's side that each would walk down the walkway strutting their stuff. At the end, the audience chose Viv Nyugen's alter ego "Psycho," a drag version of the Asian pop star "Psy," for drag king and Evan Long for drag queen as "Ms. Applebaum." Coming from someone who has never been to a Drag Show, I did not know what to expect. My friend watched the television series and always talked about it so when I mentioned the event to her, she was quickly on board.

Two years later, Sentai Filmworks picked up the English licensing rights to the series. The story begins with the postal ship named Zanbani and its confrontation with an armada. Viewers then shift to Akiyuki Takehara, a youtig high school student who lives in island similar to the presentday Japanese country side, excluding the large flying airships. The day Akiyuki arrived on time for the school bus was fate, for that bus ride changed his life and him into an Xamd. For those familiar with Bones' works, the world of "Xamd" seems very similar to their previous series "Eureka Seven," The team also reunited with composer Michiru Oshinia who worked with their first Fullmetal Alchemist project. There are many wonderful action sequences arid drama fills in the gap between them. At times, it seems that some of,the progressions of characters go too fast, but there is only so much the creative team could fit in the whole series. ^mmKKKKSM B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ Though an animated film, this cartoon movie deals with the dark history of Gotham City's Batman. Released in 2010 from DC Comics and Warner Bros, "Under the Red Hood" starts out with the end of Batman's second robin, Jason Todd. It then skips five years to the city where crime lords scramble as a new threat appears under the name "The Red Hood ." The film is an adaptation to Judd Winick's story arc under the same name. The voice cast includes Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met Your Mother," Jensen Ackles from "Supernatural" and Bruce Greenwood as Batman. For some, this movie's version of the Joker may be an issue for viewers. It is a unique design and a bit different compared to its other manifestations such as in the comics or Dark Knight Films. But rest assured, voice actor John DiMaggio brings the villain back to a level of familiarity. Even if you have not read any of the comics, this film would be able to bring yon up to speed and bring you into the mystery 'and action in Gotham City. As a female college student in her 20s, I must say that HBO's "Girls" is a perfect coming-of-age series for those moments in life that you can't believe actually happened. "Girls," which is created, directed and starring Lena Dunham, writer of the Netflix-Instant available "Tiny Furniture," chronicles the mishaps and adventures of Hannah Horvath, a previously spoiled 20-somethingyear-old woman who has just been financially estranged from her parents. While Hannah is dealing with her lack of a job, she finds herself in a complicatedfriends-with-benefitsrelationship with Adam, played by Adam Driver, while aiding her uptight roommate Marnie, played by Allison Williams, and dealing with getting over the traumatic ending of a four-year relationship and finding time to spend with her carefree and British-accented companion Jessa, played by Jemima Kirke. The series documents the hardships in job searching with a Bachelor's degree without glamorizing the being of an actual college-graduate in New York. However, though the girls of "Girls" are completely night went on. I went in with an open mind and left having fun memories. The night was about expressing yourself and accepting others and all troubles and judgments were left at the door. "RuPaul's Drag Race" is aired on both the "Logo" and "VH1" station.

Spring Break's almost here!!! Hang in there!!! T he Good Earth' By Pearl S. Buck « the mmmmm B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL OPINION EDITOR This classic novel of a compelling story placed in turn-of-the-century China will plunge you into the very pages of the book. You will practically be able to live the life of the poor Chinese farmer Wang Lung. "The Good Earth" was Pearl S. Buck's second classic novel and it won a Pulitzer Prize in 1932. Having grown up in China with her missionary parents, Buck grew accustom to the culture and was immersed in the history of ancient China. This gave her the inspiration to write one of the most compelling and heart-wrenching historicalfictionnovels of all time. The idea of a poor Chinese farmer during the twentieth century seems simple enough, but the way Pearl S. Buck writes makes you feel as though Wang Lung's story is the most important story you will read about China. In the story, Wang Lung inherits his father's land and consequently the charge of the rice crops he now owns. He is married to a young * slave woman, O-Lan, who is GOOD PEARL S BUCK .

B Y JULIANA STUMPP making it to Florida to celebrate their youth is quickly resolved. It's apparent that many of the characters have serious mental problems such as Hudgen's character constantly pretending to shoot others and putting guns to her head or mouth. The main actresses make it apparent that they want to break out of the "Disney" mold and it reflects in their characters. With a title like "Spring Breakers" audiences should expect nudity, underage alcohol consumption and drug use, but there is such a thing as too much. It's safe to say that a good 30 minutes of the film shows nothing but girl's breasts and skimpy bikinis, which could be basically the stereotypical male fantasy. »15 'Saga:' Something strange and wonderful Psycho' spinoff excites and thrills viewers B Y FAITH ORCINO "Saga" is the newest comic J* series to get into this spring break.

CSUSM reduces, reuses, recycles its way to sustainability BY KATUN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF While a rapidly growing university has the potential to generate large amounts of waste, CSUSM is taking action to ensure that the campus maintains its commitment to sustainability through various initiatives. Sustainability encompasses a wide variety of efforts, including water and energy conservation, recycling, waste management and air quality. By prioritizing these methods, CSUSM helps to reduce the negative impacts on the environment that come from consuming large amounts of resources. Recently the campus has seen a surge in sustainability efforts. In the last year, the Sustainability Master Plan was implemented on campus and the Sustainability Manager, Juliana GoodlawMorris, was hired.

The results are now available, and while CSUSM is strong in many areas, there are still improvements to be made. In order to conduct the diversity study, Halaulani and Associates held three campus visits with 28 group or one-to-one sessions, as well as online open forums, with students, faculty and staff. They received 196 responses, which were reviewed, coded and cataloged. An additional part of the study was information that was submitted by CSUSM, totaling 525 different documents. The aim was an in-depth look at CSUSM's diversity efforts over the last four years. Rona Halaulani, Principal and Founder of Halaulani and Associates, remarks that this critical analysis, "[Takes] a very deep look The Diversity Mapping Project res s were presented recently to students, culty and staff. at the nature and quality of diversity....It s not how many things you've done, it's the quality and effects that we're able to analyze." What Halaulani was looking for was a level of effectiveness in two areas: Diversity Efforts and Diversity Courses. Diversity Efforts is anything outside the classrooms such as events, f programs and initiatives that relate to diversity, inclusion and culture. Diversity Courses are Undergraduate and Graduate programs that appear in the most recent catalogs that either feature or mention diversity. The analysis was presented to President Hayes in December 2014 in the form of a slide cast, which can be viewed at http://www.csusm.edu/equity.diversitymapping .html. There are seven maps total. Three of them focus on Diversity Efforts by unit, theme and effort function of taxonomy, and four of them focus on Diversity Courses regarding Undergraduates, Graduates and Undergraduates and Graduates, each by definition of culture. In these Photo by Chris Morales seven maps, Halaulani notes several key themes. First and foremost, there appears to be identity politics, where some people speak up about diversity while others are muted, which leads to politics of speaking around diversity. In addition, there are elements of diversity without social justice, and there is some over-inclusion at the expense of real advancement on diversity issues. Some of these issues can be attributed to the campus trying to be too careful regarding issues of diversity, not wanting to offend. Further, while the campus is committed to diversity, it is not demonstrably committed to core issues of race. "All of these will impede CSUSM's progress," Halaulani said. "Since while everyone is on board, they don't look at how inclusion is connected to inequality." Students had much to say on the subject of campus diversity during this study. An overarching comment is that there needs to be more action by administrators regarding diversity action, and more recognition and assistance dealing with microaggressions in the classrooms. This student sentiment was r e fleeted by almost 82 percent of the faculty that participated in the data collection. The faculty wants more training on how to deal with microagDiversity continued on page 11 r �2 NEWS Remembering late Lauren Wallace Childers News Editor: Jasmine Demers cougarchron.news@gmail.com T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , MARCH 4 , 2 0 1 5 Celebrating life, legacy of former Kineseology student B Y K A T U N S WEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF With heavy hearts, the CSUSM community has come together to mourn the loss of our beloved alumni and friend, Lauren Wallace Childers. Childers passed away on Feb. 3, at age 24,fromcomplications of pneumonia. She is survived by her husband Wyatt, parents, Patricia and Randy, sister Lindsey, 19 and brother Ryan, 19. Childers was a highly admired member of the Kinesiology Department, where she excelled in her academics and made countless friends. She had a passion for exercise physiology, biomechanics and nutrition, a knowledge set that helped her inform her friends about the benefits of health and fitness. Childers later became a trainer to motivate others to prioritize their exercise regimens by creating fun workouts. "She was a very competitive person, she knew how to be competitive enough to where she was still being somewhat modest about it, but enough to where you knew it was game on," said Childers* best friend, Ali Cullors. "It was that competitive drive though that allowed Lauren to excel at so much, whether it was school, sports or life in general. There was always something she felt that she could be or do better." "Lauren's spirit was contagious. She had a thirst for life," said fellow CSUSM graduate and childhood friend, Heather Williams. "She never saw the bad in any situation but rather the opportunity for adventure. She was a friend to everyone, she was the truest, kindest and most selfless person I have had the honor to know. Although her life was short, it was influential. She touched the lives of so many with her spark. I wish I could have met her sooner, so I could have admired her for longer." While at CSUSM, Childers worked at Kellogg Library, where she would meet her future husband Wyatt. They got married on Jan. 8, 2011 and spent their honeymoon in Hawaii. They became involved with CrossFit, where Childers excelled as a competitor and realized her dream to become a CrossFit coach. Childers' bond with her husband was a strong and loving marriage that led her parents to refer to them as a "Dream Team." "From the moment I met her I knew that Lauren was the friendliest and most welcoming person in my life," Lauren's husband, Wyatt Childers said. "She had this way with people that I still don't understand. Talking to her just made whatever I was going through that much easier. It was evident by the amount of people at the service how many lives she had touched. She was my better half and I thank God everyday for letting me be a part of her short, but meaningful life." In addition to her academic and work success, Childers was admired for her kindness and passion for life. She approached every day with a smile and positive attitude, leading by example for the rest of us. " 'I got a lifetime of knowledge.' This was one quote that Lauren always said," Cullors said. "It is from one of our favorite movies, She's the Man, and whenever there was an opportune time to use this line she would. She was a very intelligent, funny and vibrant person. She had gained so much knowledge through school and life experiences and utilized all that she learned to the fullest." At her graduation ceremony from CSUSM in 2012, Childers graduated Magna Cum Laude and was awarded seven of the eight possible honor cords a graduate can receive. Her determination, hard work and drive are traits that the Kinesiology Department fondly remember her for. "Lauren was the type of student that you remember," Kinesiology Department Chair, Dr. Jeff Nessler, said. "Her hard work and talent were certainly noteworthy, but her personality and character are what made her stand Photo courtesy of Wyatt Childers Lauren Wallace Childers passed away Feb. 3. out.

CSUSM continues to improve its sustainability efforts Sustainability Master Plan outlines campus goals B Y C HELSEY S CHWEITZER SENIOR STAFF W RITER Even after 25 years, CSUSM is still striving to improve sustainability in the face of expansion and plans to follow the guidelines laid out in the Sustainability Master Plan to achieve this goal. Sustainability is the practice of preventing the depletion of natural resources and reducing the harm done to the environment in order to preserve the state of the planet for the future. Over the last decade, the campus was recognized nationally for its sustainability efforts with several awards due to the recycling programs that were set up as well as energy and water conservation programs that were developed. Going forward, the campus will continue to look for new ways to make progress in the field of sustainability while paying special attention to student life, campus climate, academic excellence, community partnerships and educational equity as outlined in the University's Sustainability Master Plan. "We have to continue to set a good example and work to preserve the planet for the future," said student Aly Wilson, who is currently in her second year on campus. Over the past 25 years, CSUSM has worked tirelessly to increase overall campus sustainability. Through the promotion of alternate forms of transportation, including public transit and car pools, the campus helped cut back on the green- Are you looking $$$$$ f or a great career?

In addition to the reduced emissions resulting from cars, the campus reduced the amount of energy used by "40 percent since 2008," according to the Sustainability Master Plan. The University accomplished this through the use of renewable sources of energy like solar panels and the minimization of the overall amount of energy used throughout its facilities. The Sustainability Master Plan highlights the energy use goals by stating that the University hopes to "one day produce as much renewable energy as the campus consumes." Waste management is another area of sustainability that has progressed over the years. The amount of paper waste has been steadily decreasing through the use of electronic communication for classes and the use of hand driers instead of paper towels in the bathrooms. In addition, water bottle refill stations were added to the drinking fountains in order to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated on campus. Ryan Nieto, a fourth-year student, offered his own ideas as to how CSUSM could further decrease the amount of waste among students and promote sustainability. The recycling program that was established on campus has also yielded a highly positive result in terms of sustainability, with a current recycling rate of over 70 percent. According to the Sustainability Master Plan, the campus aims to "accelerate waste minimization efforts in order to achieve zero waste by 2025." Living in Southern California, water is another area that is cause for concern in sustainability. In order to reduce the amount of water used, the campus uses local well water for the purpose of irrigation, maintains primarily drought tolerant and edible plants and closely monitors the amount of water used by the campus. The ecosystems of the region are also closely studied in order to ensure that the campus has no negative impact on the surrounding land, plants and animals. With more than 14,000 students, faculty and staff currently on campus, a number that is projected to grow substantially in the coming years, sustainability has been a pressing matter for the campus. "As the university expands in the years ahead, CSUSM will need to do so in a way that supports and advances sustainability," says the Sustainability Master Plan. In order to achieve this goal, any future buildings will be set to the specific campus standards regarding water, energy, environmental, waste and land management techniques that have previously been set in place. Professors can also help students learn how to aid campus sustainability, as many of them are teaching sustainability in the classrooms, and will occasionally even do class projects related to the topic. "By using the campus as a living laboratory and by ensuring students are learning about different sustainability issues and innovative critical thinking skills to solve some of our most pressing issues as a nation and globally, CSUSM is ensuring students are prepared for careers in a wide variety of areas and are leaders as they go out into the job market," said Juliana GoodlawMorris, the Sustainability Manager at CSUSM. In this way, CSUSM is set to continue at the forefront of sustainability efforts. As stated in the Sustainability Master Plan, "[The vision is to] meet our present needs without diminishing the abilities of future generations to do the same." �NEWS Gender, Race and Money lecture provides eye-opening insight on social inequality T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M ARCH 4 , 2 0 1 5 BY NICOLE HOLMAN ASSISTANT N EWS E DITOR CSUSM recently hosted a lecture event that provided students with insight to important social issues and emphasized the need for students to take action On Wednesday, Feb. 18, the Arts and Lecture event entitled Gender, Race, and Money was held in the USU Ballroom where enigmatic performer and lecturer Kimberly Dark spoke on the various issues surrounding wealth distribution and wage gaps in America. Dark is a professor in both the undergraduate Women's Studies and graduate Sociology programs at CSUSM, as well as an award-winning writer and presenter. The USU Ballroom was full as Dark spoke on a wide range of topics, all involving social inequalities in America and how these inequalities affect job opportunities and pay. Dark used interactive activities to engage her audience as well as to provide a visual representation of how power imbalance works. "At this lecture I learned that whether it's big or small, we as individuals can make a difference. The diagrams Dark provided really helped Photo by Chris Morales Professor Kimberly Dark discusses class inequality with students. me see how unequal things really are even though we talk like America is completely equal," said lecture attendee and graduate student, Brian Sanchez. During one particularly compelling discussion, Dark addressed how the media is increasingly portraying wealthier lifestyles as the "average American" lifestyle and how that alters what viewers perceive as "nor- mal." In contrast, the only television shows that portray people with low incomes are shows such as "Cops." These representations only contribute to negative stereotypes that prevent people from any upward mobility in terms of economic class. "This lecture brought to light social justice issues in a way that doesn't blame the individual, but the institutionalized powers in place in society," said Tanya Camacho, a CSUSM student in attendance. Although Dark used a colloquial tone with her audience, she did not shy away from calling out the blatant racism News Editor: jasmine Demers cougarchron.news@gmail.com 3 and sexism that occurs today in job searches, income earnings and even relationships. Dark also captivated the audience by providing graphs to illustrate that the gender wage gap has not improved in over a decade. "Marriage is seen by employers as a stabilizing institution for men and a destabilizingoneforwomen,"Darksaid. After taking time to answer the audience's questions, Dark emphasized that even though there are long standing power imbalances in American society, it is the job of students to learn about these matters and help propel society to a better place. HOPE and Wellness Center brings eating disorder awareness to CSUSM B Y S ONNI S IMMONS COMMUNITY N EWS E DITOR National Eating Disorder Awareness Week held in February CSUSM's HOPE and Wellness Center emphasized the importance of eating disorder awareness by hosting a number of educational and spirit-lifting events across campus. Eating Disorder Awareness^ week was Celebrated during the week of Feb. 23 to Feb. 27 on CSUSM's campus. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) chose the theme "I Had No Idea..." for this year's awareness week to illustrate the importance of early detection and intervention because of the common misinterpretation of eating disorder symptoms as insignificant. Bringing awareness to college-aged individuals is especially important because of the prominence of eating disorders on college ' campuses. "[Eating disorders] have proven to be prominent on a college campus due to the mindset that many col- lege students have to fit in and different assumptions that have grown, such as the Freshman 15," said Victoria Sandoval, Peer Educator and President of Active Minds. Many events were held in order to raise awareness for issues such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorders as well as all manifestations of body image obsession. The events held on campus included "Eating Disorders Screening Day and Health Fair" where students could be screened for symptoms of eating disorders, Stephanie Covington Armstrong's discussion of her book "Not All Black Girls Know How to Eat - A Story of Bulimia" and Benjamin O'Keefe's reception and keynote, highlighting his struggle with body image as an Afro-American gay male and his global movement against sizedbased discrimination, especially with the Abercrombie & Fitch clothing company. "Eating disorders do not discriminate and can affect anyone regardless of race, age, gender or sexuality," said Cheryl Berry, Mental Health Educator with the Student Health and Wellness Center. "Positive self-esteem, body confidence, healthy nutrition and knowing the signs and symptoms of eating disorders can protect an individual against eating disorders ." Knpwledge and awareness of the dangers of eating disorders is the first step to the physical and mental wellbeing of CSUSM students and individuals everywhere. "I firmly believe that by knowing the signs and symptoms of different eating disorders as a college campus, we can significantly aid in bringing the awareness that eating disorders need," Sandoval said. If you or someone you know may be struggling with an eating disorder, visit the Student Health and Counseling Services Center or contact NEDA's 24-hour anonymous helpline at 1-800-931-2273.

On Feb. 24, in the USU ballroom, an event entitled ''Product of Mexico" took place and was hosted by Director Freddi Avalos of CHABBS in Engaging Di- verse Dialogues. Don Bartletti, a Pulitzer Prize- winning photojournalist from Los Angeles Times, took the audience ón a journey as he showed his photos of exploits in Mexico. These photos also depicted the Castillo Family, a poor, hardworking Mexican family who struggled to survive as farm workers. Bartletti explained that some of the produce that is sold in everyday grocery stores such as Wal-Mart, likely came directly from Mexican farms where underage children, like 12-yearold Alejandrina Castillo, har- vested fresh produce in order to earn about $8 for a whole day's work in the fields. "The foods we eat have invisible consequences that most of us choose to overlook," Dr. Freddi Avalos said. The poverty and misery can be seen throughout Bartletti's showcase of photos. However, these photos also provided the audience with a sense of inspiration as they saw these strong groups of people doing their best to make a living for the sake of their families. They couldn't afford to spend too much of their hard-earned money on buying new shoes or clothes, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to spend it on groceries, clean water and other necessities for their household. Bartletti took many enlightening photos of Alejandrina Castillo, along with her family, as they all display their magnificent will to work in order to sustain their livelihood in the labor camp. "Alejandrina said she was always hungry and tired while working in the fields picking peppers and tomatoes, yet she pushed on to fill 60-pound sacks that were almost as tall as she was," said Bartletti. Although the photos were beautifully taken with precision and care, the most important aspect of this art is the intention and message that Bartletti was trying to portray. He is attempting to spread the message that there is so much more we can do in order to contribute to the proper care of these farm workers who earn much less than what they truly deserve. Bartletti spoke about how many of the farm workers tried to complain about their conditions to higher authori- ties but were only met with silence. The workers were more than happy to tell their story to Bartletti in order to finally have their voices heard. Bartletti ended his presentation with a series of videos along with some of his other work from the Los Angeles Times website. He also held a Q&A for the audience who had a lot of interesting questions. Bartletti hopes that CSUSM students will continue to spread the word about these issues and make the commitment to support Mexican farm workers. Hiking through spring break, a new outdoor adventure Campus Ree takes students to National Parks destinations day trip to see three national parks in Utah. These beautiful destinations include Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and Zion National Park. CSUSM's very own Kali Holt, who graduated and has come back to work on her masters, went on this trip multiple times as a student and will now be leading the outdoor spring break adventure. ' The Outdoor Spring Break (O SB) trip is a great opportunity to see some of the most beautiful and famous landscapes in the world," Holt said. The trip will take place from Saturday, March 28 through Saturday, April 4, and the group will depart from the Clarke Field House. Sign-ups begin at 12 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, but get there early because space is limited. There is an application with a checklist of addition- al documents that must be completed and turned in during sign-ups so do not delay. This national park experience is only $399 for students. This price covers transportation, some food, admission for all three national parks and lodging. Good times and memories are free, but remember they are perishable so be sure to bring a camera. Although there will be plenty of- hiking and sightseeing in the desert, the lodging is very accommodating with fully furnished hotels and hot tubs. This is a school run trip so students will get the chance to learn the geology and history of each park as well as environmental responsibilities, navigation and leadership skills. To see the specifics and a detailed day-to-day itinerary, go to the CSUSM home page, search for 'Campus Recreation' and find the Due in part to these exciting events, the University rejoined the ranks of 360 colleges in the nation that earned recognition for their commitment to the community. On Jan. 7, 2015, CSUSM received the 2015 Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Originally recognized in 2006, CSUSM once again carries this prestigious distinction, valid through 2025. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is a national organization in charge of classifying all institutions of higher education. This particular classification, the Community Engagement Elective, was initiated in 2006. This classification is evidence-based, and institutions submit their evidence in two categories: Curricular Engagement, and Outreach and Partnerships. In order to be selected, CSUSM submitted a 72page document that included data and documentation of its community involvement and partnerships. In 2006, CSUSM received classification in both categories, and has done it again for 2015. Community involvement has always been a central aspect of CSUSM. In President Haynes's recent Report to the Community, she said, "Our unique culture; our agility; our forward focus on emerging regional, national and global trends; and our commitment to community engagement have enabled us to do amazing things." Recently evaluated by Halualani and Associates in a Diversity Mapping Project, CSUSM strives to involve all students. Across departments and divisions, CSUSM works daily to strengthen its already vibrant college community by connecting CSUSM with the surrounding communities. "As a public university, I believe that community engagement is an obligation," said Haynes. "...It builds on a core CSUSM strength: putting academic inquiry at the service of solving real-world problems." Earning this classification validates the endeavors CSUSM has taken to promote unity and engagement with all its students and the larger community.

B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS EDITOR Changes are stirring here at CSUSM and around the world, ones with environmental implications. The student population is increasing at a rapid rate which has caused for our campus to build new facilities to accommodate the large number of students. With the change from NAIA to NCAA coming sooner rather than later, the need for our own gym is a necessity. Construction for the new gym, or Sports Center as it will be called, has already commenced. As f or the changes around the world, it is vital for mankind to know that our ecosystem is slowly taking a turn for the worse. However, just like the recent addition to the CSUSM campus, the USU, the Sports Center Insight on CSUSM's newest project will go to great lengths to stay as environmentally responsible as possible. What are some ways a building can be eco-friendly? Well, for starters there are the devices called solar panels that drain the sun's light and converts it into free power. Unfortunately, solar panels are not included in the initial construction of the Sports Center, but can possibly be added on later. "The new arena is being built by student fees," Sustainability Manager, Juliana Goodlaw-Morris, said. With the overall cost of this project already at $11.4 million without solar panels, our student fees would raise higher if the plans included the solar panels. Fortunately, the Sports Center will be utilizing other resources and options outside of solar panels. "They are going to be building this building to Photo courtesy of Office of Construction The Sports Center, which is set to be complete in 2016, will be located next to the Clarke Field House. LEED silver specifications," Goodlaw-Morris said. This is good news for multiple reasons. LEED is a green building certification program whose buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of the occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy. A building cannot be LEED certified if it isn't up to sustainable measures that include water effi- ciency, indoor environmental quality and materials and resources. LEED has four levels of specifications: certified, silver, gold and platinum. CSUSM is required to have at least a minimum level of silver with each new building that is built, an accomplishment many institutions don't reach. "Even getting LEED silver specifications is a feat in itself, there are many schools across the country that don't have that as a standard," Goodlaw-Morris said. What it comes down to essentially is the money and that is always the case with anything when it comes to systems and corporations. If the money was there the solar panels would be installed and the Sports Center would be up to LEED platinum specifications, simple as that. That's just how the cookie crumbles in this situation, the money just isn't there, but the most is being done to enable the Sports Center to be as eco-fnendly as it can be. As it would appear, CSUSM is doing its part to adjust to both the university and worldly fluxes. L.A. Gamo strives for greatness on and off diamond B YAMYCHASTAIN STAFF W RITER The value and worth of an athlete is more often than not measured based on their athletic performance alone. However, the best athletes in all sports are those who are able to reinforce their athletic prowess with their intelligence in the sport they play and in the vision they hold for their athletic and personal lives. Cal State San Marcos baseball player L.A. Gamo is one of those admirable athletes who holds an incredible understanding for the game he loves and the role he plays for his team. Gamo pointed out that not only does he like to be an offensive and defensive threat to opposing teams but also a mental threat.

Gamo and his ability to apply his intelligence to his love for baseball is a great representation of the athletes who thrive here at CSUSM. Not only is Gamo confident in his ability as a player, but as a Communication major, he seems to have a definite plan for his life. Whether he chooses to pursue a career in the major leagues, own his own team or coach baseball, it seems inevitable that his love for baseball will continue to guide his choices for some time. Be sure to make note of CSUSM's very own #9, L.A. Gamo, as one of our most talented athletes to definitely watch out for. Padres baseball season opens with spring training in Arizona First year general manager's roster moves are on display forfirsttime B YAMYCHASTAIN STAFF W RITER With the first week of March approaching, Major League Baseball's spring training is finally in fullswing. Teams across the country are coming together to train, much to the delight of the fans. San Diego's Major League Baseball team, the Padres, will call Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona and its six major league fields home for the duration of spring training, according to the San Diego Padres Ballpark Information Page. Spring training is the first time that media and fans will be able to witness the newly formed lineup as orchestrated by general manager A J . Preller. To the Padres and General Manager (GM) A J. Preller, this spring training is a big deal. This is Preller's first season as General Manager. Preller was hired as general manager on Aug. 5 of last year, says Anthony Witrado of Bleacher Report, and he is already making a name for himself as he seeks out some of baseball's best free agents. Witrado also says that the offseason signings made by Preller and staff "has led to wildly high expectations" for the season to come. Under Preller, the Padres have made bold moves to acquire well-known and talented ball players. These big names include James Shields, Matt Kemp and Justin Upton. James Shields, who was signed off of the Kansas City Royals roster less than three weeks ago, will add depth to the pitching lineup. Shields' 2015 Preview in his Major League Baseball (MLB) bio says that he is "one of the most dependable pitchers in baseball." In order to grow as a team, the Padres will need to rely on Shields' dependability. Matt Kemp, formerly of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be joining James Shields as one of many veteran additions to the Padres roster. Not only is Kemp a household name as a left fielder, but according to Kemp's MLB bio, he is a two-time All-Star Team member and winner of the 2011 Hank Aaron Award. The Padres also acquired another noteworthy left fielder, Justin Upton. Like Kemp, Upton is also a twotime All-Star Team member. Justin Upton's MLB bio lists that one of his biggest accolades was in 2014 when he won the Silver Slugger Award as a member of the Atlanta Braves. With training camps fully underway in Arizona, it will be exciting to see how the Padres' millions of dollars in new roster additions will pay off. This year marks the beginning of a rebuilding year for the San Diego Padres and the start of a possible legacy for GM A J . Preller. Baseball fans will be able to witness the Padres newly improved roster on April 9, as they host their home opener against the San Francisco Giants. ra-ka-de-ka Fresh Thai TM Kitchen FREE THAI TEA WITH PURCHASE OF ENTRÉE FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY 801S.

While this topic is a sensitive one, it's important to address the difference in opinions and to recognize where science itself stands on the issue, not just focus on the information found on social media. One of the largest concerns students have about vaccines is their safety. Currently, the United States has the safest supply of vaccines in the world and all vaccines are tested prior to FDA licensing. Most vaccines take up to ten years before being approved and continually monitored, as noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The most controversial conversation regarding vac- cines is their alleged correlation with autism. The CDC continues to support a review done by the Institute of Medicine, which concludes, "there is no relationship between vaccines and autism rates in children." While this topic is recurrent in media, the science community continues to stand by the fact that there is no vaccine safety debate and the implementation of vaccines is as prevalent as ever. Another large concern for college students is the availability and cost of vaccines. For students at CSUSM, the Health and Counseling Services Center (HCSC) collaborates with the San Diego County Health and Human Services Department to ensure that students have access to affordable vaccines in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Students can call and make an appointment at the new HCSC for a simple flu shot or other immunizations. Other immunizations include the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, Hepatitis B and Meningitis vaccine, all of which are offered for a reduced fee to students. Locally, students at Carlsbad High School have made an effort to educate the public about vaccines in their film Invisible Threat. This documentary addresses the significance of vaccines and is endorsed by the CDC and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and was shown at the American Public Health Association Film Festival. In an interview with Lisa Posard, producer of Invisible Threat, she stressed the importance of students obtaining credible information about immunizations and understanding that choices towards vaccines affect an entire community. In all, choosing to receive a vaccine is an individual choice. However, seeking scholarly and peer reviewed information is vital in assessing how vaccines fit into an individual's lifestyle. By receiving proper education about vaccination, we will all be able to lead the healthy life we desire. Athlete Brittany Hollie hurdling in preparation for Nationals. B Y BURTLAND D IXON SPORTS EDITOR The women's indoor track and field season is coming to a conclusion this upcoming week. Select Cougars will be taking their talents to Geneva, Ohio to put their skills to the ultimate challenge, Nationals. With a collective impressive showing from the whole team, only athletes who hit the "A" standard in an event will be competing. Runners like Charlotte Kuzminsky, Kate Bouvatte, Natalie Rodriguez and Cristen Lane are among those who qualified. Photo courtesy ofAriel Robbins While at Nationals, CSUSM will have a total of ten athletes in competition, which is a slight increase from last year. The anticipation is building for these athletes as they await for their chance to engrave themselves in history. Placing in the top nine gets you identified as an Ail-American. Sure, becoming All-American is a great milestone for athletes, but why notfirstplace? That will get you known as the fastest indoor runner in the nation. Nationals is where the sweat and pain is all accounted for. All the work put in comes down to a race or two depending on if there is a preliminary round before finals. For athlete Brittany Hollie, it'll come down to a matter of seconds due to how short her race will be. Hard to imagine that being crowned a national champion is decided by milliseconds in many races. Coach Scott and Coach Wes have done their best in preparing their athletes for what comes next. Ask any of them and they will all say they're ready.

They say we waste too much, we pollute too much and it's coming around to bite us in the butt. Our campus has recently opened a new position, that of the Sustainability Manager, and has hired Juliana Goodlaw-Morris to help our school battle the growing problems we face. GoodlawMorris has a big plate of responsibilities and needs our help to create change. Goodlaw-Morris' previous job was with the National Wildlife Federation, based in Ann Arbor, MI, where she assisted with major sustain- ability projects in the state. She has also spent around eight years working on and off with the Peace Corps in Jamaica, where she worked alongside local farmers on implementing sustainable agriculture. Alas, her dream was to move back to her home state, California, where our campus managed to get a hold of her. Goodlaw-Morris said that CSUSM is on a good path to becoming more sustainable. "We are actually doing really well, especially on recycling, and have been for many years," she said. However, there is still much more room for improvement, where small changes can really have a big impact on how environmentally minded we are. For example, 12 percent of the entire waste volume our campus produces is in the form of bathroom paper towels alone. Goodlaw-Morriswould like to see us move more towards air dryers. There are also the collective efforts that we as a student body can work towards, which could be huge for the school. For example, a tiny $1 to $5 "green fee" per semester could allow for huge projects such as solar power installation for many buildings, as well as fund other sustainability projects that students choose themselves. Goodlaw-Morris notes that the concept of the student green fee is something that goes through the student body first, and is not something she decides on. "Anything we do can and P ROGRAM S POTLIGHT will make a difference, and it is a serious matter," she said. "Sustainability seems like a buzzword in many cases, but when you have Fortune 500 companies developing offices of sustainability for million dollar companies, they take it seriously." When asked about what she does most of the day, most of her time is dedicated to meeting people, doing research pertaining to our campus and assessing our plans to attack waste. Goodlaw-Morris also mentioned that she is looking to meet more people, especially students. Over the next year, the Sustainability Department may have multiple positions open, including various internships, all the way up to having a stu- Photo courtesy of Chris Morales Juliana Goodlaw-Morris works to strengthen sustainability efforts. dent sustainability assistant. When it comes to getting green, Goodlaw-Morris really does need our help in creating active change.

C ULINARY C ORNER Springing green at CSUSM Grilled Pacific Yellowtail Environmental Studies program debuts on campus BY SYDNEY SCHABACKER SENIOR STAFF W RITER As of Fall 2014, students at CSUSM have the opportunity to declare a brand new major: Environmental Studies. This program focuses on providing a collaborative setting for students, faculty and community partners to study land-use and environmental issues. The curriculum of this major is comprised of life and physical sciences, social science and policy, research methods and arts and humanities. Since this is an interdisciplinary major, students will be introduced to a wide variety of classes that create an overview of how we interact with our environment and how we can better protect it. Student Rocio Fuentes, who declared this major last semester, remarks on the importance of being mindful of our environment. "In our lifetime we are seeing all the harmful footprints that are being created," he said. "We are seeing the changes that one day we are not going to be able to fix." The idea for the Environmental Studies major began 12 years ago amongst Michael McDuffie, Associate Professor Philosophy, Dr. Wes Schultz, Professor of Psychology, Dr. Pamela Strieker, Professor Political Science and Environmen- The program will focus on huma enviornment. tal Studies Program Director and Dr. Bonnie Bade, Anthropology Department Chair. Their collective interest in Environmental Studies grew over time, culminating with this new program, which is now a part of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Behavioral Social Sciences. Already, 22 people have declared this major, starting with an initial eight declarations last semester. As a follow up to the nowavailable Environmental Studies major, Dr. Strieker says that he hopes to set up an internship program. Majors in this field would then have both the internship and a community service network to help prepare them for related careers such as environmental advocacy or environmental law.

Their mission is to inform students on what it means to be sustainable and commit students to live more sustainably. With the Sustainability Club being fairly new to CSUSM, not many students are aware of their overall objective for the campus. However CSUSM is no stranger to the idea of being eco-friendly. But, the Sustainability Club aims to take it a step further, and not have being sustainable something everyone only does while on campus, but for it to become a way of life for fellow Cougars. Throughout the community, the Sustainability Club strives to educate people on the importance of being green. "We focus our time on the educational point of it and we do some active stuff like tabling events," Sus- F EATURES T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M ARCH 4 , 2 0 1 5 tainability Club President, Alex Caratti, said. "Last semester our first event was the Kill the Cup campaign, which was a campaign that raises awareness on reusable cup usage and how it's better than disposable cups." For the months of March and April, the club has events lined up leading to the greenest day of the year, Earth Day. On March 14, there's Super STEM Saturday, Discover CSUSM on April 11, Kick Butt on April 17 and Earth Day on April 22. As the Sustainability Club is a newfound member to the array of organizations offered on campus, both President Caratti and Vice President Geiszler say they are aware of the struggles that come with new organizations getting their name out. "Kill the Cup was a big accomplishment, it was really nice seeing the recognition, a lot of people recognized us through The Cougar Chronicle, so thank you!" Geiszler said.

Geiszler and Caratti also spoke about what motivated them to start the club. "Sustainability has been something I've always been passionate about, I've just never really had an opportunity to share that passion with anyone else, so Alex really gave me that avenue to share that," he said. "For me personally, one of my passions in life is sustainability and wanting to do work in a career that involves sustainability," Caratti said. "Part of my passion manifests in teaching and educating people how to be more sustainable, so I saw the club as a great opportunity to do that with the support from the campus and SOL. It could help educate our generation about how to be more sustainable."

Even the simplest changes in our water use can lead to a world of difference. Conserving water doesn't have to involve any huge lifestyle changes - even the smallest things add up. Here are some simple ways you can start saving water today: In the shower: When the topic of saving water comes up, it's common to hear people say, "take shorter showers." But there are ways to save water while you shower that don't necessarily mean you have to spend less time showering. An alternative is to simply turn off the water when you don't need it, using the nozzle found on most shower heads. You can turn off the water while you're shampooing, shaving, lathering, using your loofah, etc. This is a great way to save water because you don't really need water for your full shower time anyway. Brushing your teeth: Don't leave the faucet running while you're brushing your teeth. We've all heard this one million times, but it's a good thing to be reminded of. It really does save a lot of water because it all adds up in the end. While doing laundry: Wash dark clothes in cold water. This saves water and energy, and helps your clothes retain their color. Also, do a full load of laundry wherever possible. Multiple sftialler loads use more water than one large load. When you do have to do a smaller load, make sure you match the water level to the size of the load.

Instead, water and clean your dishes to soak and keeps you from fill up the sink with soapy that way. This allows them leaving the water on too long. Addressing America's obsession with protein How meat affects sustainability on Earth BY RESTY GREY SENIOR STAFF WRITER Bacon grease sizzles on the skillet every morning, engulfing your apartment with the pleasant aroma of burning flesh. Two links of sausage sit beside your tall glass of prepackaged produced protein powder. American society is obsessed with protein, but what are these meat and food products really costing us? The American population is rapidly increasing. The consumption of food lies parallel to this statistic. Diminishing natural resources points to the instability of American meat-based diets. Predominantly meat-based diets consume more natural resources to produce the equivalent amount of protein when compared to a common lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. A lacto-ovo vegetarian does not eat animal flesh of any kind but does consume dairy and eggs. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.36 grams of protein per pound. This information is all arbitrary to the individual an$. depends on many different factors, but this roughly amounts to 56 grams of protein to maintain the body weight of a person weighing 155 pounds. A person is required to consume 29 slices of bacon in order to amount the Photo by Chris Morales Many students fulfill their protein needs through different sources. density of one cup of oatmeal. 29 slices "of bacon roughly yields 87 grams of protein, which is 158 percent of the RDA before you've even reached lunch. Not only is overconsuming protein "bad" for the body, but according to Da- vid Pimentel and Marcia Pimental's article, "Sustainability of Meat-Based and Plant-Based diets and the environment," the amount of resources needed to produce livestock to feed Americans equates to roughly seven times the amount of grain that would be required to directly feed American society. Meat-based diets concentrate on the consumption of protein in favor of micronutrients necessary to help the body function properly. However, most American meat-based diets focus on the consumption of macronutrients, failing to consider the micronutrients necessary for proper sustainability. Meat just is not as nutrient dense as vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and legumes. Furthermore, David and Marcia Pimental write that "the food storage and malnourishment problem is primarily related to rapid population growth in the world plus the declining per Re-evaluating climate change Does your carbon footprint matter? BY COLLIN V AZ FEATURES EDITOR The negative effects of humans on the environment are undeniable. From deforestation, to air and ocean pollution, we are failing at maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. To some degree, most people are concerned about their personal effect on the world. With all of the possible lifestyle changes and ecofriendly choices possible, it can be hard to determine which are most worthwhile. "Carbon footprint" is a term that refers to the overall carbon dioxide emissions of a person, organization or nation. Many politicians and mainstream media outlets stress the importance of carbon footprints and urge consumers to use energy responsibly, claiming that humans' carbon dioxide emissions are causing Earth's climate to fluctuate. There are several miscon- ceptions surrounding this theory that deserve attention. During President Obama's State of the Union Address, he stated that, "[T]he debate is settled. Climate change is a fact." He is not simply referring to the process of climate change in general being a fact, but instead the idea that humans are altering it. The argument that there is no debate among scientists is simply not true. Sustainability Manager at CSUSM, Juliana GoodlawMorris said, "98 percent or 99 percent of all scientists/ climate scientists agree that climate change is happening and that it is human induced." The idea that the vast majority of scientists agree on the issue is common among advocates of human induced climate change. In reality, this concept is hotly debated among the scientific community. A recent survey by Purdue University Professor of Natural Resource Social Science, Linda Prokopy, found that 90 percent of scientists, including climatologists, agreed climate change was occurring, but only 50 percent agreed that it was caused by humans. Another topic of confusion is the idea that 2014 was the hottest year in the history of the planet. "Yes, the Earth goes through natural cycles, but there has never been a period of time in the Earth's history that we have had multiple years of the warmest - every year getting warmer and warmer arid warmer," Goodlaw-Morris said. "It's been like five, six [or] seven years in a row we've had the hottest years on record." Unfortunately the evidence in support of this claim is unconvincing. The idea that a recent pattern of perpetual heating is unique to the modern era is incorrect as periods in history such as the Medieval Warming Period showed a consistent rise in global tem- perature over several years. NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the organization that stated 2014 was the hottest year since 1880, has recently expressed some doubt over their previous statement, expressing that they are only 38 percent sure the finding is accurate. Even NASA's own records shows Earth has only warmed 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 35 years. The Earth's overall temperature has actually, on average, lowered by 1.08 degrees since 1998. Many organizations which support the theory of manmade climate change have been caught manipulating data charts to reflect their stance. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a history of replacing real temperature values with those fabricated by computers in order to "adjust" records. Whistleblower Professor Robert Stavins went on record to Breitbart News stating that politi- cians forced him to change parts of the 2014 United Nations Climate Report. Those who do not adhere to the idea of anthropogenic climate change look to naturally occurring phenomenon for an explanation. The Milankovitch Cycles are proven to cause changes in Earth's climate. The Earth does not revolve around the sun in a perfect circle. It has a fluctuating eccentricity or rotation. Additionally, the Earth wobbles and tilts on its axis. These three elements in addition to the sun's solar cycle determine shifts in global climate. In order to understand the big picture regarding humanity's carbon dioxide output, it is important to know how our levels compare to nature's. If all of the carbon emissions from the entire planet were represented by the length of a 100 yard footballfield,humanity's contribution would add up to 4.21 inches or 0.117 percent of the field. Con- capita available of land, water and energy resources." Considering that the livestock. population required to feed Americans is five times the amount of the human population, the sustainability of the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet seems much more plausible in the larger scope of life on earth. David and Marcia Pimental write that "for every 1kg of high-quality animal protein produced, livestock are fed about 6kg of plant protein." Switching to a plant-based diet would result in fewer natural resources being consumed to feed the same amount of people on Earth, which is why it is a more sustainable way of eating. sidering that there are 3,600 inches in a footballfield,this is an insignificant amount. Whether or not you subscribe to the theory that climate change can be attributed to humans, everyone can agree there is more we can do to limit our negative impact on the environment. Juliana Goodlaw-Morris reminds students of this and the school's contribution. "Whether or not you believe in climate change, think it's human induced or what have you, these are the impacts we are having right now. Water scarcity is like oil now. . . Here on this campus we are doing a phenomenal job with water conservation measures and we're trying to make it even better," she said. Lifestyle decisions like using refillable water bottles and taking alternative methods of transportation might not save the Earth from changing temperatures, but it still contributes to a cleaner Earth. �Opinion Editor: Noelle Friedberg cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com L E T T E R T O T HE E DITOR Re-writing history is not exceptionalism, it's a cop-out B Y KINAYA BRYANT CONTRIBUTOR Lawmakers in Oklahoma have overwhelmingly voted to pass law HB-1380 which bars funds from being used on AP US History. According to state representative Dan Fisher, it's because history isn't quite "pro-America" enough for him. During their legislative committee meeting, Fisher stated, "[The new framework] trades an emphasis on America's founding principles of Constitutional government in favor of robust analyses of gender and racial oppression and class ethnicity and the lives of marginalized people, where the emphasis on instruction is of America as a nation of oppressors and exploiters." In other words, hearing the truth is just too much for him to handle. I'm sorry Dan Fisher, but you don't get to ban facts. For far too long we have learned history from the perspective of the winners and that isn't real history. Fisher's motives become all too clear when you read his proposal for the type of "American exceptionalism" history he wants students to learn. The new proposed framework for U.S. History focuses on the U.S. Constitution, The Gettysburg Ad- dress and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense." Fair enough, these are all important works that shaped this country. However, Fisher has no time for pesky so-called "blemishes" such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail" and his "I Have a Dream" speech. He also wants to strike out Malcolm X's epic "Ballot or the Bullet" speech and instead replace these amazing works with three speeches by Ronald Reagan and one by George W. Bush. Erasing the voices of marginalized people of color in order to emphasize the voices of powerful white Christian men, does that sound familiar to anyone else? Before we go any further we must also acknowledge that Fisher is a member of the Black Robe Regiment which seriously tries to make the argument that the separation of church and state is a progressive conspiracy to stamp out religious faith in the United States. I wish this was an Onion article, but it isn't. Rewriting history is not American e^c^ptionalism, it's actually the exact opposite. This is the kind of blind patriotism that holds this country back. By revising U.S. History to fit a biased "pro-American" (let's be real, pro-white) narrative, these lawmakers are forcing our children to be remedial. If they go to college, they're automatically put at a disadvantage in class because they wasted so much time learning history that's actually incorrect. Please don't think this is just something that happens in Oklahoma. The same thing happened to me right here in California. One of my first college courses was a U.S. History class where I learned the pure, unregulated facts about this country. It angered me that I spent so many years in high school learning watered down history and blatantly false history. Not all of my peers went to college after high school so as far as I know they're still walking around with false information about America's history. And you wonder why there are so many people in this country who actually think slavery ended 300 years ago. All of this anti-educational insanity must be stopped. Georgia legislature introduced a resolution that rejects American history that doesn't emphasize "America's. Founding Fathers , the principles of the Declaration of Independence [and] the religious influences on our nation's history." In Arizona, they banned ethnic studies altogether. Does anyone else think banning education is the most un-American thing ever? Our children deserve better than this. Take it from me, nothing kills your faith in the American education system faster than learning that it doesn't actually educate you. If all we learn in school is half-truths, indoctrination and blind patriotism, there is no way we are going to compete in a globalized economy that encourages actual exceptionalism. Germany teaches the whole truth about their tragic history and recently they even abolished tuition fees to open up access to education for everyone. We need to take a lesson from Germany and be honest about our history or else we will be doomed to repeat it. AP U.S. History is actual American exceptionalism. I can say that with conviction because I took an AP U.S. History course in high school and that class is one of the main reasons I chose to pursue college. Every peer in that class went on to pursue college. I enjoyed the fact that we could not only learn history but discuss and deconstruct history at the same time. AP U.S. History taught me how to think critically and thinking critically is a very exceptional trait to have. I am a proud history buff and even though I know all about our dark past, I still love this country and I'm proud to be American.

The use of these products has become so normalized that most women do not question them or search for other options. Tampons and pads are the only menstrual products that you will find advertised on television, sold in grocery stores and hidden away in the bathroom cabinets of friends, mothers and sisters. Commercials for these products depict healthy women using them to overcome their menstruating bodies and do all Diversity continued from page 1 gressions in the classrooms, as well as how to deal with difficult topics and critiques of discipline in terms of diversity» A faculty concern on this issue includes apparent lack of respect and inclusion for lecturers. One replated faculty concern was that while CSUSM has one of the highest ratios of female faculty members in the CSU system, many of them report being overworked. Given the wide range of these findings, the question is whether CSUSM is in fact "making diversity happen." Halaulani's response? Yes, in part. Of the study's four diversity ranking orders, with 1 being only a mission statement and no effort, and 4 being culture changing, CSUSM is a second order campus. This means CSUSM has good intentions, but does not at present qualify as having sustainable diversity efforts. In part this reflects many ideas thrown at the issue which are not organized or s tategized. According to the study, 97 percent of our diversity efforts are programs driven by departments rather than by die university itself, to such an extent that such efforts are being paid for out of departmental budg- the activities they love to do. Unfortunately, these commercials do not mention the toxins and chemicals thenproducts contain or the toll they take on the planet. Tampons contain pesticides, dioxins, GMOs and fragrances, and it is estimated that a single menstruating woman will produce 1,000 pounds of waste in tampons in her lifetime (ruby-cup.com). Despite the facts, these products remain popular because since they are disposable, you have to keep buying them. This means more money for the companies that sell them. It isn't right that we are buying products that are not good for our bodies or the planet. Fortunately, there are other options. First, a great alterna- tive is the menstrual cup. The menstrual cup is reusable, so you only have to purchase one, which saves money and you don't have to throw it away, which reduces waste. It also does not contain any harmful toxins or chemicals. Some great brands to check ets. This approach lacks any cohesion, so it is not sustainable. The goal approach needs to be an overall university resource allotment. One strong point about CSUSM is that we are intrinsically motivated, rather than relying on external factors such as potential lawsuits to motivate our diversity efforts. Of our diversity efforts, 88 percent of them are primarily geared towards diversity rather than having diversity as a subtopic. However, we have more events promoting diversity than we have programs actually striving towards strategic diversity inclusions. Added to that, we seem to have a vague notion of diversity, with our efforts such as they are focused on all campus members, bvt witb little to nothing in fact being addressed on the behalf of our faculty and staff members. More inclusion of these members of our campus in our efforts would seem to provide a better overall campus result. In terms of Diversity in CSUSM courses, the focus of diversity is on the Undergraduates, specifically at the 300-400 course level. *I was surprised by the relatively low number of offered courses at the 100-200 level, and that we offer fewer domestic diversity courses than we actually do," said Arturo Ocampo, Associate Vice President of the Office of Diversity, Educational Equity & Inclusion University Ombuds. "I was under the impression we had more domestic diversity courses, but we actually have more international/global courses." One recommendation Halaulani makes is to increase the number of domestic/ historical courses offered, as well as implement a GE Diversity Requirement. As it currently stands, there is insufficient diversity exposure in the lower level Undergraduate courses. The diversity study findings are only the beginning. Thefallreport will come out in a couple of weeks, and that's when President Hayes will begin to charge different units and departments with the next steps to take. "It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of folks analyzing the curriculum and co-curriculum to get to the third order," Ocampo said. "But CSUSM has tremendous potential and a lot of well-intentioned, highly motivated and committed people. With the study providing specific areas to address, CSUSM can began to progress effectively toward real diversity inclusion for every person on the campus."

Next, if you are a pad user, you can make the easy switch to reusable cloth pads. Cloth pads are used in the same way as disposable pads, but they are better for you and the environment. Some Photo by Noelle Friedberg brands that sell cloth pads are GladRags and Lunapads. Better yet, you can turn fabric you might have lying around into your own unique cloth pads at no cost to your body, the Earth or your wallet. Another great alternative is the sea sponge, which might be best for someone who is accustomed to using an absorbent product like the tampon. Sea sponges are more absorbent than tampons, but contain none of the toxins or chemicals, are low cost and do not contribute any waste. You can purchase sea sponges for menstruation from an incredible company called Jade & Pearl. We should not have to spend excessive amounts of money on products that do not serve us. Also, we each have an individual responsibility to take care of the planet in any way we can. Ditching the disposable tampons and pads and opting for healthier, sustainable menstrual products is one way we can be active in doing so.

Instead of stuffing old grocery bags into a drawer that'll take up space, store them in an old tissue box. Take one plastic bag and place the rest inside, then store them upside down inside the tissue box for easy access. Use an old cupcake tin as a jewelry organizer. Put earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets in each row or column. You could also decorate the tin with scrapbook paper to make it appear more presentable. Or, as a gift to a friend, decorate the tin with patterned paper and fill it with small knick-knacks and candy. Soundproof loud cabinets with felt and glue.

Last year, I was introduced to #thinspiration via the YouTube channel of Lacy Green. The pictures and statements attached to it border along the lines of religious fervor with sayings such as "the skinnier, the better" and "must stay skinny for summer," repeated ad nauseam, coupled with so-called workout regimens that ignore nutrition in favor of burning off calories to the point of serious physical damage. In the prime of teenage years and the younger twenties, it's easy to get caught up in the wondrous (and occasionally inhuman) amount of food, sugar and alcohol one can consume without consideration for what creating a habit of such consumption will bring. Eat too much and obesity and organ issues are just around the corner in one's thirties and forties. Yet, eat too little and the organ failure coupled with stress comes in to wreak havoc on the immune system. Thus, the perfect middle ground is healthiness. What is the healthy body type one might ask? Honestly, it's most of them. A thinner person can be just as healthy as their bulkier counterpart so long as their insides are functioning properly.

To combat this is the Greek concept of sophrosyne: of existing in moderation. Simply being healthy and keeping moderation in mind is the secret to having a good self-image, but it is only true when one is truly happy with themselves, which if you're a perfectly normal (biologically speaking) human, you have no reason not to be. A person who turns you down based on the fact that they don't care for your physicality is not someone you want to be with anyway. Instead, search for those people that bring you joy, new experiences and possibly sandwiches, for those are the people that will help develop you as a person, something no amount of dieting or food can do. Humanity is full of individuals who come in billions of different varieties and it is statistically improbable that you will never be liked.

Call it the bookworm fangirl in me, but I felt as if the movie portrayed the first book perfectly and captured the essence to what the story truly is. Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) is preparing to graduate college when she lends her aspiring journalist friend a favor by interviewing successful businessman of Seattle's Grey Enterprises, Christian Grey (Jamie Dorman), for their school newspaper. Upon first meeting there is an immediate attraction between them. Steel is merely a shy, bookworm who feels invisible to the male species, hence shefindsit surprising when Grey expresses interest in her. It is only in time that she discovers that he isn't going to be the "hearts and flowers" boyfriend she dreamed of having, but one whom centers his "relationships" on BDSM. She is now left to contemplate whether she should comply with his offer to engage in a "Submissive/Dominant" relationship, all the while struggling with her feelings and curiosity for the broken man he works hard to hide from the world. While there are the supporters and protesters for what the story conveys, I feel that many overlook the true love story between the main characters. The hype and focus is solely centralized on Grey's preferred mechanisms with his lifestyle. It is also argued that Steele negatively portrays a woman as one whom should be submissive and powerless to a male figure. While the idea of BDSM plays a prominent role in the film and overall story, I felt as if Steele was anything but powerless. While Steele is naive and inexperienced, her realness to whom she is as an individual affects Grey in a way that he has never experienced before. Steele not only learns about a lifestyle she has never known about, but Grey is learning what "genuine love" is. What I liked about thefilmwas its ability to take a difficult subject matter and give insight into the struggles of living the kind of lifestyle Grey abides by. It can be easy to hate Grey for his chosen lifestyle, but it can also be easy to sympathize for his past struggles and hope he stops living his life in fear. Grey portrays the ultimate "dominant" as being handsome, successful, envied by every male and yearned for by every female. While he has the ultimate "power," thefilmexplores the brokenness he hides, for his past struggles have created the "dark" man he has become. MOVIE REVIE • t/ BY KATIE GARNER On general principle, I normally don't tell people what they should do with their lives. That would be presumptuous of me. No one really likes being told what to do or what to like, anyway. But I will say this: in the two hours I spent watching Fifty Shades of Grey, I could have been repeatedly beating my head against a wall while listening to Nickelback and it still would have been time better spent than watching this awful movie. This movie sparked a fair amount of controversy, and from what I saw, I understand why. The major subject of the movie is Christian Grey, who for the remainder of this review I will call "Abusive Batman." Anastasia Steele, a young college student and the lens through which we watch this cinematic masterpiece, finds Abusive Batman to be an alluring and mysterious figure after she interviews him for an article. From there, she signs a scary sex contract, Abusive Batman leads her to his sex dungeon, and they have sex in various positions. Abusive Batman rejects Anastasia's affection, as he was apparently emotionally stunted as a child when his parents were G murdered in front of him in an alley of Gotham city. In Fifty Shades, a sequence of events was strung together with a glue stick and someone in the editing room called it a "plot." I could talk for hours on the fact that this m o v l' e p ortrays a relationship based on d omestic v iolence, or that it horribly misrepresents the BDSM community. But that isn't why I didn't like it. No; it is because this movie managed to somehow be both terrible and boring. Even cougarchron.arts@gmail.com With Steele entering his life, he struggles with remaining the man he has always been or allowing himself to be the man he always said he would never be. I found Steele's ability to abide by herself as an individual something powerful in itself. It is ironic, because while they engage in acts preferred by Grey, it is Steele whom holds the ultimate power. She refuses to instantly become a "servant" to Grey and emphasizes that everything still remains her choice. I don't foresee the backlash for thefilmdisappearing anytime soon, but I do think that the story shouldn't be overlooked simply because it is exploring a topic that many have known about but have never chosen to address publicly in the media. While it may be controversial, it still doesn't change the fact that it has broken records, making $81.7 million in its opening weekend. Clearly it remains to spark curiosity. Against Fifty Shades of Grey STAFF WRITER CO A &E 4,201^ 1 OVIE REVI 4 /5 P A W S 50 Shades of Grey: An Unacknowledged Side to "Love" bad movies can at least be fun to watch. I have an archive filled with horror movies for that very reason. The dialogue is one of the more absurd aspects of the movie, and the depth of the characters is so shallow that they could have replaced A nastasia with a lamp and next to n othing would have changed. Several details are extremely vague, such as what it is exactly Abusive Batman's company does (which I personally hope is selling doilies). The dialogue is one of the more absurd aspects of the movie... It also glosses over the fact that Abusive Batman was sexually assaulted as a teenager by his mother's friend, but the audience is somehow expected to feel like this was a positive experience rather than completely horrified. Alas, a movie adaptation can only be as good as its book. A book, I'd like to point out, which was originally posted as Twilight fanfiction on fanfiction.net. The title was originally "Master of the Universe", and the author's pen name on the website was Snowqueens Icedragon. So here we have a movie, based on a book, which was based on a fanfiction, which was based on another movie, fAÜ i a litili IflI aiMi * which in turn was based on a series of books. Fanfiction should remain in the dark corners of the internet where it belongs, but for reasons beyond my understanding, it was adapted into a major motion picture. Go figure. It strikes me that there are people out there who enjoyed this film, and I'll admit that there were aspects to it that weren't grueling. The soundtrack was alright, for one thing. I'm having some difficulty thinking of the second thing. All in all, I give it a half star out of five. Sustainable Gaming: Call of Duty Zombies BY W ILL M CCURDY ASSISTANT TO THE E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Modern culture has taken an odd spin on the idea of horror, particularly monsters. It seems to be a mad whiplash that goes between reimagining them as brooding anti-heroes, turning them into sexual icons or in the very rare case these days of actually being afraid of them. It is the last category that is the subject of this video game review regarding the Call of Duty series and its near consistent homages to George Romero through their zombies game mode. Call of Duty recently might be considered great advocates for environmental conservation. They have guns, new abilities for using those guns and a plot that amounts to "insert potential United States conflict here." But by far, the part that fell most into the compost heap is the zombies mode which is quite a shame as the story began as quite intriguing, if not slightly innovative. After fighting a brutal war across Germany and the Pacific in Call of Duty: World at War, the game showed a plane crash viewed by a man, recovering from a head trauma induced slumber, when he sees wandering shadows shambling like wraiths in the foggy evening. Suddenly, you see one moving with an inhuman sprint coming closer until the screen cuts to black and the title written in blood emerges. It was the last time the zombies mode surprised anyone. Since then, they've included new abilities, perks and giant steam powered robots but the formula remains the same: fight zombies until you die or start questioning where all those fairly well preserved bodies are coming from and why they seem to have a serious case of hating kids who are on their lawn. It's survival mode, that much is understood, but they made an error from the beginning by giving it a story. Survival mode is not supposed to have a story. It's merely an exercise in pre- tending to be a war criminal against a race of pixels. Once it is given a plot, however, it becomes subjected to the criteria that are used to scrutinize the rest of the game. If it is implied that there will be a conclusion to the plot, then there had better be one. Otherwise all those hours were for nothing and the player is worse off for being played as the dunce in the bullfighting ring that is gaming. Unless Activision and Sledgehammer games are recycling their developers, then the mode amounts to what the franchise has become; namely a repeating piece of propaganda about American military exceptionalism that can barely try to recapture the magic of its glory days. So, fellow gamers, feel good about your game choices and slap an "environmental friendly" logo on the next copy. If the developers are going to feel alright about recycling plot and gameplay, players should feel good about perpetuating their attempts at video game conservationism. �^jik» Ml Kingsman's ending discredits female leaders in film B Y KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF "Kingsman: The Secret Service" reimagines the "English spy" archetype, giving audiences a younger, cheekier protagonist who may save the world in a contemporary fashion, but is still rooted in a dated, sexist ideology. The film is only decently successful in providing audiences with a diverse representation of women. While there is an obvious lack in the quantity of female roles, the quality of these characters are split right down the middle. Out of the main cast, there are 15 male roles and only four women (three of whom are blonde Caucasian women). These four females are evenly split as far as the amount of agency they are given in the film. We have Eggsy's mother, a woman living in a lower income neighborhood with a small baby, rebellious teenager and abusive husband. She is often portrayed as submissive, placing her relationship with her husband above her children's (and her own) safety. We have Princess Tilde, a Swedish princess who refuses to join Valentine when he offers her a spot in the elite group that will be taken to safety when the planet erupts in chaos. This "safety offer" is a courtesy extended to the world's ruling powers (, which is a triumphant commentary on how the lives of the "elite and powerful" are prioritized. Upon her refusal, Princess Tilde is imprisoned by Valentine. Then there is Roxy (Sophie Cookson), who is one of the candidates that is competing for the sole open spot in Kingsman, a position referred to as "Lancelot." Eggsy develops a friendship with her, who in addition to being the sole female contender for the position, is at the top of their "class." Ultimately Roxy defeats all of her male competitors and becomes the new Lancelot. Then we have Gazelle (Sofia Boutella), the ringleader of Valentine's team of assailants. She executes the master plan and makes sure that Valentine stays on target. She also defies the stereotype that all or most individuals in spy films be "able bodied." Gazelle has bladed prosthetic legs, which instead of holding her back, give her incomparable speed and allows her to easily slice opponents in half. Where the film's progressive plot plummets is at the very end of thefilm.Eggsy's teammate Merlin successfully rewires the SIM card system in the building they are hiding in, which then kills all of the elite individuals and security guards that have congregated to watch the planet erupt in chaos. Eggsy is set to kill Gazelle and Valentine before finally escaping on Merlin's plane. However, he hears pounding on a cell door, opening the "peep hole" to discover Princess Tilde. Rather than trying tofinda way to help her escape, he immediately expresses his attraction to her. Tilde promises Eggsy anal sex if he defeats Valentine and comes back to rescue her. Suddenly thefilmbecomes about the young male protagonist reestablishing himself as the victor, who must MOVIE REVIEW that female empowerment is derived from a female prisoner offering anal sex to a man (a 17-year-old, nonetheless) who has the power to leave her in that cell if she does not abide by his wishes, then he is hopelessly confused. It would be ignorant to say that Tilde has the same agency in the film as Eggsy. Because he immediately tells her that he wants to kiss her, Tilde must make the choice to use his immature, uncontrollable sex drive as a way to ensure that Eggsy maintains an interest in her. Yes, it is perfectly possible that she enjoys the sexual encounter. However, it cannot be ignored that if she were to have denied his desires, there is a strong chance that she would have been left behind (in a cell on a secluded mountain that you can only get to by plane, where no one will ever find her). Vaughn also needs to take into consideration that if he is going to talk about female empowerment, his film was doing a great job up until this point. While Eggsy's mom is a stereotyped character, the film does not try to make her marriage look happy or healthy. Roxy's status as the top of her class and the new Lancelot demonstrates that men can be supportive of strong, independent heroines. The fact that Valentine hides behind Gazelle showcases that she is the true opponent to beat. I applaud Vaughn's attempt to be progressive and change the way that women are represented in "spyfilms."If he genuinely believes that his anal sex joke is a tool for empowerment, this seems to indicate that he is completely ignorant of what female empowerment actually is. However, trying to approach this relatively complex notion through the framework of a masculine film genre like action is a difficult task. By ending his film with this joke, it discredits all of the work that he did as a director and co-writer to make a movie where women are on an equal platform to men. By infusing the dialogue with this poor attempt at a "James Bond"-style joke, he has sacrificed his ability to refer to Kingsman as empowering for women. 4/5 PAWS 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' a nice surprise B Y PIERCE BRENNER STAFF W RITER be more dominant than a woman in order to truly be "the hero." Eggsy asks Merlin to figure out the password for the locked cell, which he ultimately unlocks and then enters while carrying champagne. Because Eggsy's glasses have a "video feature" that allows Merlin to aid him in combat strategy by showing him what he sees, the audience watches as Princess Tilde lays down on the bed naked and shows her butt to Eggsy. Instead of Merlin making a comment discouraging Eggsy from using his ability to "rescue or leave" Tilde in the cell as an abuse of power, he merely closes his screen and leaves him to it. While this may not seem like a problematic way to end the film, it is a deeply offensive "joke" that should not have been placed in the script at all. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Matthew Vaughn criticized viewers that were upset by the joke, saying instead how empowering it was for women and that people needed to "lighten up." If Vaughn genuinely thinks When a spot in the Kingsman agency becomes vacant, agent Harry Hart aka Galahad (Colin Firth) recruits his deceased friend's son "Eggsy" (Taron Egerton) to become an applicant for the job. Meanwhile, off-kilter billionaire Richmond Valentine .(Samuel L. Jackson) attracts the attention of Hart when it looks like he's up to no good. I'm a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn. So far, he directed Layer Cake, Stardust, Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class. They were all great movies that deserve all the praise they got. To be honest, I was not looking forward to Kingsman very much. I thought the first trailer was pretty bad, and even though the subsequent marketing improved, I was not completely sold. Fortunately, Kingsman was far from a badfilm.In fact, it might be the best of the year so far. When Colin Firth's name is on the cast list, it tends to evoke images of romantic male leads or British royalty, not that of a spy. But I always maintained that if any part of Kingsman were going to work, it would be him. Sure enough, Colin Firth was awesome. He was completely believable as an intelligent, efficient spy. Not only that, he was a ruthless killing machine! It was pretty much a combination of all the incarnations of James Bond rolled into one character, and it worked perfectly. Firth was not the only one that impresses. Pretty much all the actors were great in their respective roles. But the biggest surprise was Taron Egerton, playing our young protagonist "Eggsy" Unwin. I was worried about Egerton going into the film. In all the trailers, he looked like he would be the weak link. I could not have been more wrong. Egerton made a punk-like Eggsy a very en- Learn ^ dearing character, and seeing him live up to his potential was a really fun experience. The action was so awesome. I knew Matthew Vaughn could do action. Kick-Ass was proof enough. But what he was able to put together here is on a whole new level. It's not quite on par with something like John Wick, but it was really exciting nonetheless. On top of being a great action movie, Kingsman is also a great comedy. Whenever it tries to be funny, it passes with flying colors. Not everything about King- sman was great. I thought the CGI was pretty poor. I get that it was supposed to be ridiculous, but that's no excuse for looking bad. There were some parts where the action was a little disorienting, but it usually sorted itself out in the end. As a sidetone, if you didn't like Kick-Ass* you might not like Kingsman. I was afraid that Kingsman might be Matthew Vaughn's first miss, but I really misjudged it. In fact, it might be my most pleasant surprise in a long time.

For example, the brothers used different methods of presenting art by recycling materials in the medium in their artform. Art as function, as an exhibit, and additionally for fashion was the way the two brothers presented their work. The brothers were additionally mastered at the Couture Trade in New York and that was an immensely colossal inspiration to their art. The collections that the two brothers shared, in their past experiences, helped influenced their artwork. Three art pieces that exhibited at the Mingei International Museum in 2014 by the Ladd Brothers were "Kickboard" (2012), "Shadow Tower" (2002) and the "Shaboygen Tower" (2012). "Kickboard" was a piece that was made of recycling belts, wood and metal. The panels on the piece were predicated on a kickboard that Steven's father built on the fields of the brother's elementary school. According to William, kids practiced kicking balls against it during soccer practice, and the fields were the pride of the brother's school. The piece had a unity and a variety within the piece. The dark blues, and shades of purple of the belts tied together, plus pins, which provided a transient and fleeting quality to the piece, held it down. "Shadow Tower" was created using various mediums included an archival board, fiber, beads and metal. "Shadow Tower's" main concept presented is about containment. The ebony boxes cumulate the interior objects into a cohesive, comprehensive whole. The tower is a presence in the space, a shadow of our processes. The closed butterfly box is a cocoon for the interior object. The silhouette appears solid, but the zipped top invites you to activate the object. The aperture of the butterfly box is rooted in a gesture of the circling of the arms, an aperture to the heart. The aperture reveals the object's environment. The pleated structures are predicated on the gestural forms of kineticism of the hand. The butterfly boxes were placed on a white surface to contrast and present the vibrant colors of the interior. The piece has a surrealistic quality to it as well, because of its ambiguity of how is it art for function or fantasy. The Ladd Brothers composed "Shaboygen Tower" from a board, plywood, metal, fiber, beads, paper, tulle, hair and pins. The 24 box tower is exhibited as a landscape mounted on the wall, instead of being exhibited on low platforms, an incipient approach that sanctions the viewer to get astronomically proximate to the entire sculpture to investigate its intricate details. "Shaboygen" emanates from a fleeting high school \ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ recollection that evolved into a code word that denoted "utopia". This work explores the light and dark recollections of the brother's high school experience. Each box contains its own backstoiy, a visit to a friend's house on Goosecreek inspired the white beaded trees, while the red fabric spirals reference how the family station wagon caught on fire and burned while parked in front of the brother's high school. The piece is reminiscent of a volcano. There is a variety within the landscape, with the intriguing textures of the transparency of the beads and the pins. In addition, the scrolls and adjuncts were a fascinating touch that helped bring the piece in conjunction. Exhibitions at the Mingei included "Function + Fantasy: The Ladd Brothers", which focuses on reusing eco-friendly materials in their art. The duo continue to work on new pieces and plan on a fall show at the Invisible Dog Art Center in New York. B Y GLORIA MAGALLANES ASSISTANT OPINION EDITOR There are many ways we can make our lives better by adopting habits of sustainability. One of them is by donating and shopping. Yes, I do mean shopping. Instead of heading over to the mall or your favorite store, drive to your local thrift store and check it out. I encourage you to become a recycler of more than just plastic water bottles and cans - get creative. One way you can do that is by donating your clothes. Don't throw away the things that you no longer want, especially if they're in perfect condition. Many times we have clothes hidden deep in drawers or hung in the back of the closet. What can you do with those? It's actually pretty simple. Instead of throwing your perfectly reusable clothes away, put them in a box and drive to your local thrift store. Every thrift store has a place where you can drop A LBUM R EVIEW off your old stuff without any questions or interferences. You can donate your clothing, shoes, books, elec- ~ tronics, CDs, movies, etc., the list goes on and on. You can be sure that your stuff will be bought and reused by someone else in the world. The other thing you can do, as mentioned before, is shop. Personally, I love ^ to thrift. About 80 percent of my clothes comes from thrifting. The trick is to be, first of all, very patient. After a while it becomes easier and somewhat natural. With time you'll be able to know where and when the "good" stuff will be. Not only do ^ you get extremely cheap and brand clothes, but you also get to be creative and create your own style. The awesome thing about shopping at the thrift store is many times youfinditems that cannot be purchased anywhere else. It adds a "one of a kind" sense to your style. Not only will you walk out of that store with a bag full of clothes, but you will also be a contributor of recycled items. 3 .5/5 PAWS Drake- "If you're reading this it's too late" Tuesday is best for finishing homework.

The rapper hailing from Toronto, Canada or as he calls it "The Six," pulled a "Beyonce" on Feb. 13 by giving the world a surprise release of his album. Critics and fans were not upset. If anything, it confused people. This was not just by the surprise release, but also by the title of the album, the album cover and the fact that it was not the expected, highly anticipated album Drake eluded to in the middle of 2014, "Views from the 6." "If you're reading this it's too late" is not your traditional Drake album. This isn't "So Far Gone," the mixtape that helped build Drake's huge following by introducing the hip-hop world to melodic sounds paired with sensitive lyrics. Nor is this "Take Care," his second album that was bolstered with artistically emotional songs like "Marvins Room" that had every guy calling his ex-girlfriends saying to them "you can do better." This album is chalk full of straight-up rap songs that you and your friends play unnecessarily loud while on the way to the club. If you plan to listen to this album as you relax, do not do it. This album will make you want to go out and hit the gym or dance in a mascot outfit on the sidelines of an insanely hyped basketball game. With lyrics like "Oh my God, Oh my God if I die I'm a legend," Drake sure isn't being meek. It's like we are hearing an aggressive Drake that's realized he has established himself in the rap game as one of the best, so he's holding back on trying to cater to anyone by giving us a different sound and no release date. Another lyric that preaches to that would be "they think I'm soft, think I'm innocent I'm just lookin' in the mirror like I'm really him man, I 'm really him, you just fillin' in." This is definitely not Drake's best work, but it is better than 75 percent of other artists' albums that have been put out recently. Will it win a Grammy? No. What it will do is have you reciting lyrics randomly on the way to your destination. However, it wouldn't be a Drake album if it didn't have at least one of those nice slow songs you can cuddle to with your ^ significant other. Just skip to the song "Jungle" if you're in one of those moods. Otherwise, be prepared to delve into a musical journey that contains plenty of expletives and Drake showing us he is indeed not > as soft as we think he is. �A RTS & E N T E R T A I N M E N T C O M M E N T A R Y VSAR 311 Exhibition: Students display work in Arts 111 given many of the same influences yet reach different sensibilities and interpretations.

The beautiful art pieces look so flawless though they were the result of one and half month of hard work. There are different types of mediums ranging from photography to sculpture and it is interesting to know how they added areas of influence. "Art is a mirror through which we look at the world," Professor Judit Hersko said. Tiersa Cosaert, one of the students in her class, created a project known as a curiosity cabinet. She had an interest in both art and science, which is very evident through the various sculptures, owl pellets and other interesting objects in the cabinet. She is currently a junior with experience in sculpting from age 16. Cosaert spoke highly of the class and the projects that she is working on. "They are cool. I love it, it was a small and intimate class and a lot of effort was put in by all of us for the project," she said. Some of the other art pieces were "Tracking Chaos" by Jessamyn Trout, a mother of two, who tracked her movement around her home using GPS and showed it in an interesting way, using her photography and red string.

Protocol for mountain lion encounters on campus Recent sightings of mountain lions in the area raise concern for local officials for the safety of students and résidents B Y N ADA SEWIDAN STAFF W RITER A mountain lion sighting occurred on Wednesday, Feb. 12 in CSUSM parking lot F. A reliable source confirmed the sighting to CSUSM campus police at 10:00 a.m. Although the sighting was confirmed, CSUSM campus police officers did not have a visual on the animal. There is a special protocol CSUSM campus police officers follow once a sighting as this one is called in . CSUSM Sgt . Herman Hernandez explained that if a sighting is confirmed from a reliable source who can accurately describe the animal, then campus police notifies CSUSM students and staff via e-mail. A patrol officer is sent to the scene where the sighting was originally reported and conducts a visual evaluation of the perimeter. Campus police also notifies the San D iego County Fish and Game Department. The Fish and Game Department M ountain lion p hoto courtesy o ffish and wildlife services can be found a t http://digitalmedia.fws.gov/cdrii/singleitem/collection/natdig1ib/id/12981 / rec/3. sends an officer to patrol the area and once the animal is spotted, it is captured, tagged and eventually released back in the wild. Sgt. Hernandez said the only circumstance where an officer would shoot the wild animal is when it is life threatening to people nearby. Sergeant Hernandez said CSUSM campus police o fficers are trained and briefed on how to respond to mountain lion and other wildlife sightings on campus. He emphasized that students and staff should be familiar with the procedure as well. "Keep the campus police phone number programmed in your cell phone," Sgt. Hernandez said. "Whenever wildlife related, or anything else, it's always good to be aware o f your surroundings." In the past 10 years, there have been a total of 3 to 5 both confirmed and non-confirmed mountain lion sightings. Other animals that have been previously found around the perimeter include bobcats and coyotes. In order to maximize safety in situations as this, students and staff are also advised to not run from the animal and to not seem intimidated, but make themselves seem as large as possible. New University Student Union building adds personality to campus B Y GLORIA MAGALLANES SENIOR STAFF W RITER The new University Student Union Building located next to Chavez Plaza has given CSUSM a new color. Its construction began in February of 2 012, with a total project budget of $43,980,000. After 23 months of construction the building opened up to students this spring semester of 2014.

UCSD has a Student Services Center dedicated to being the "one-stop resource located in the heart of campus" according to the website. The U SU is unique in its layout and design; it has an air of sophistication and modernity that envelops every student who steps through the clear doors. However some students have mentioned that they have had some trouble with the new design. "The bathrooms are strange, it's difficult to find them," one CSUSM student said. Along with its fantastic d esign come many new and convenient locations for students to eat a meal or simply soak in the sun. The U SU has an amphitheater that has thè capability to seat around 4 00 people. It also has a spacious roof patio on the fourth floor that connects one wing to the next. On this patio students may be found sitting on silver chairs and tables or lounging on big comfortable sofas that face the beautiful view of San Marcos. "I like to read on the patio whenever I have free time. Especially when it was earlier on in the semester, I was able to enjoy the sunset" Yadira, a CSUSM student, said. The U SU, along with the new lounge areas, now provides new food location» for students to choose from, although reviews have been mixed about whether the changes have been good. A CSUSM student lounging on a couch on the patio voiced her opinions, saying that the U SU "has its good and its bad." T he n ew University Student U nion building provides repose o n t he campus. P hoto provided by Sarah Hughes. "It looks super nice, the bad thing is that I wish that they had somewhat better food and also heaters on the patio to warm us up on cool evenings," she also said. Although many things can be said about the U SU Build- ing now, there is no doubt that it is a great new addition to CSUSM's campus. Whether students find themselves loving the new location or disliking some things, it has definitely earned a spot in the university and in the hearts of many students.

The size of military troops in the Air Force, Army and Marine Corps are being reduced in order to accommodate impending budget plans. CSUSM veteran students personalize this issue and explain what to expect according to USA Today. The Marine Corps is projected to decrease its size by 5,000 troops in the following three years reducing the military from approximately 190,000to175,000. The Air Force also faces cutbacks of roughly several thousand troops through 2019. Likewise, the Army estimates that more than 100,000 soldiers will be cut to a force of 420,000 by 2019. Formally in the Marine Corps, CSUSM student and Student Veterans Organization President, Claudia Oreegal said that cutting military personnel will cause "lower morale" within the military. Oreegal suggested budget cuts should instead be implemented in other areas in the militaiy where money is possibly being wasted.

Naturally, the ruling has not sat well with many in the industry, but its doubtful customers will be hurt. Timothy Lee from Forbes states that the problem with legislation about neutrality is that neutrality i s not explicitly defined. "However desirable a neutral Internet might be the rule of law i s more important," Lee said. It is possible that rates to use services like Netflix may increase, but its unlikely mega corporations like it and Amazon will be unable to pay the fees. The real problem comes from the somewhat limited share of power inherent to the new system. There are less than six major companies that control cable, a number that could grow smaller with a potential acquisition of Time Warner by Comcast., It seems as if little will change for the customers, especially as more and more people turn to wireless data and cloud computing. But the race for power in the network industry, nothing will be the same. Food that motivates thoughts : the paleo diet B Y RACHEL SMITH STAFF W RITER Every day during U-Hour, students make their way towards the University Student Union and are offered a variety of food options. The human act o f consuming food is one of our most basic instincts, but food choices have an effect on brain chemistry. According to Professor Gary Wenk Ph.D., at Ohio State University, almost everything we consume, from coffee to meats, can directly or indirectly affect the brain. Foods that positively affect our brain function, over a long term period, contain high levels of anti-oxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, fish and olive oils. Anti-oxidants are connected to extended life spans. They combat the negative effects of oxygen and its correlation with aging.

WMÈM �Sports Editor: Justin Donner cougarchron.sports@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5,2014 Heart Beat Juice cleansing beyond being trendy B Y RACHEL GALLEGO HEALTH COLUMNIST Juice cleansing is a popular trend, with people using everything from mainstream brands such as BluePrint and Nekter to their own pressed fruits and vegetables. If you aren't selective in choosing the right cleanse that's best for you, it could backfire and leave you disappointed. There are a couple key points to keep in mind in order to recap the benefits associated with juice cleansing. You don't need to cleanse to be healthy, so if you are doing it to be trendy it could leave you struggling, instead of feeling physically and emotionally balanced. Cleanses are meant as a means to detoxify and reset your metabolism, which is why exercising during a cleanse isn't-the best decision.

The program now boasts 13 teams, 2 4 conference championships and three national titles. N ow in 2 014, the athletic program is applying for NCAA DII membership and is confident in their resume. The Department of Athletics has had the vision of taking the university to the next level for a while now, and this is actually not the department's first attempt. With two previous applications, the department was turned down both times. There were too many competing applications that were better suited in the applicant pool. "We needed additional funds for operating, we needed to increase our scholarship allocations, we need- ed to add sports, w e needed to build athletic facilities and lastly we needed a comprehensive compliance program," Director of Athletics, Jennifer Milo, said. There have been some big changes in the 2 014 application that will really make it stand out and have drastically increased the program's chances . This includes plans for a full court gym on campus that is predicted to be completed by 2016 . An application for NCAA membership is so extensive that the department hired an outside consulting firm to help with the process. When the application was finally submitted on Feb. 1, 2 014, the document was a hefty 6 00 pages. From here, the NCAA will arrange a visit in April to check and see if the application matches with what the program is really doing. Although the NCAA was not pushing for CSUSM to apply, the CCAA, a conference within the division has been awaiting the application. This conference is full of 11 CSU campuses and UC San Diego. With a large assortment of close competition such as Cal State LA, Dominguez hills and UCSD in the conference, the Cougars will have an easier time scheduling games and it will be better for the overall budget. "There aje so many positives right now in our department. Really the sky is the limit with what we can accomplish. We have amazing student-athletes, top notch coaches and a committed support staff to make it all happen," Milo said.

They recently pumped themselves and their supporters up with a 9-7 win over San Diego Christian on Feb. 25. Overall, the team has plenty of hot bats and the offense side seems to be producing well for the Cougars. The pitching staff still appears to be having some trouble with their lowest ERA sitting at 3.24. One of the Cougars' key pitchers, Hunter Brown, a DI bounce back, currently has a 4.18 ERA in his 5 starts. According to head coach Dennis Pugh, the Cougars needed this win to get back in the game and they did. San D iego Christian is a top 2 0 team, so bringing back a victory is an accomplishment. The Cougars showed the Hawks that they really wanted the win in the fourth inning with Matt Arlington's home run and an RBI double from Dylan Costello. Key player l yier Bernard finished the game with a base hit to score Matt Arlington for the win. "With all this new talent on the field it takes a while for it to get going, but they work hard and will see results," Coach Pugh said. The Cougars just started their season and with this win against San Diego Christian their future is appearing brighter. Their next home game is 11 a.m. on March 8 against University of Antelope Valley. �Features Editor: Amanda Lenox cougarchron.features@gmail.com Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub serves up great sushi Jäestaurant Review BYNIKKI THOMAS FEATURES COLUMNIST Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub is a local's sushi joint. You wouldn't notice it atfirstbecause there is not a sign up and it is attached to Bull Taco, a Mexican restaurant. But once you arrive you'll be glad you did. The Seabasstropub gives off a surfer-rock flair. It has surf boards and skateboards posted up, as well as United Kingdom Flag artwork over green mossy walls. The space has a cozy feeling because it can't be bigger than 500 square feet. Our server was actually a sushi-chef (he broke his arm so he could only serve until it was healed) s o he knew to hook us up with good choices. We started o ff with a Beach Honey beer ($5.50) and a fruit wine ($6), where you can choose flavors such as raspberry or pomegranate. The wine had a very unique, sangria-like taste. For starters w e opted for the Ceviche Flight ( $8), which changes daily. When I tried it, it in eluded a tuna tartare, mango infused yellowtail and albacore with miso glaze. It was served with an extra large puffed sesame crisp that had an unfamiliar, crunchy texture but paired well with the soft delicate fish.

Nigiri sushi are slices of yellowtail fish over a bed of rice. One order had an arugula chimichurri and pickled red onion sauce, it was very creative and extremely tasty. Next to it was the traditional style, with the yellowtail belly over rice, and lemon to drizzle on top, which just mfelts in your mouth, to die for. After, we moved on to the sushi rolls, which included The Chronic ($12) and the Hedgehog ($13) The Chronic was crab, spicy tuna and avocado, wrapped in rice then seaweed and flask fried for a crunchy exterior. It was finished off with a spicy aioli as well as a sweet citrus sauce, excellent. The Hedgehog was different; it was a shrimp tempura roll inside with seared yellowtail on top finished with roasted garlic, truffle oil, salt and pepper. It was a little overwhelming and only recommended for those who like extra garlicky, spicy truffle flavors. After that w e ordered some salmon sashimi that tasted extra fresh and amazing. We could tell this place makes sure their fish is top-notch quality. To finish off dinner we chose a raspberry-rum sorbet ($5) that was huge and icy with a deep purple color, a perfect way t o end the night. These chefs have a true passion for presentation and display their creativity beautifully through their ingredients and fish selection. They profess that their "ingredients are carefully chosen, grown ourselves or made from scratch" and that is apparent at this new joint.

The Literature and Writing Club creates unique addition to CSUSM community BYNADA SEWIDAN STAFF W RITER When asked what makes the Literature and Writing Club unique, club President Michael O'Marah and Vice President Marie Parrish spoke about the importance of promoting literacy and love for books. However, the club is not only exclusive to literature and writing majors in general. O'Marah and Parrish emphasized the larger aspects of the club's purpose of getting involved in the CSUSM community and getting to know one another in a fiin, relaxed atmosphere. The LTWR Club, also known as Club Cognoscenti, was originally started four years ago by Michael O'Marah and Marie Parrish and is overseen by faculty Professor Heidi Breuer. At the start of the semester there were a total of four people members, however, the club has now expanded to approximately 30 to 4 0 people. There are several events planned for the semester including an open mike poetry reading on March 19, a trip to the Huntington library and a bonfire at the beach. There is also an ongoing Easter egg hunt where Club members hide Easter e ggs throughout various places on campus. Parish and O'Marah highlight the relaxed, laid back and friendly environment of the meetings. "You don't have to come to every meeting," O'Marah said. "We want people to enjoy being there and we want it to be fun ." Some of the events the LTWR club has held in the past include three minute skits of Shakespeare's witches from Macbeth and the whole Harry Potter Series. "We got to dress up and act out the plot in three minutes," said Parrish. "It was a rewarding experience because it got the attention of other students and got them C SUSM has a new club in town interested." The club president's duties include increase membership, raise money and generate ideas for events and meetings while club vice president Parrish plans, organizes and implements the events. "We have a good team dynamic," Parrish said. In order to raise money for club and campus events, club members employ several fundraisers throughout the semester. Such fundraisers will include a create your own T-shirt event where students purchase a shirt and have the opportunity to print anything they like on it.

BY A N N E HALL DESIGN EDITOR > K? The first Public Relations Club to ever grace the halls of CSUSM has begun convening this spring. Members have high aspirations to help make a positive impact on society and motivate intellectual thinking. Each semester, the club will be aiding a specific campaign or organization to allow students to perform tasks and expectations of the public relations field. Students that are already involved in the org. are excited about the opportunities provided. "The main purpose of the Public Relations Club is to develop practical public relations skills through participating in community outreach and building civic relationships while fostering campus involvement " PR Club President, Tracey Engleton, said. "The mission of the club i s to combine theory and application for use in the real world, while also gaining experiences from professionals in the field, using social media and networking, along with many other PR tools that make public relations a fascinating career. Our club uses the definition of praxis to set our agenda [Praxis: putting theories to work]." "Our goal is to educate people. For me, personally, the experience I will gain from participating in this club will give me the leg up on the competition. I want to be in public relations and having this club in my background will show that I'm already doing campaigns and already making taglines and doing crisis letters. It's going to help me to look better against any competition," PR Club Secretary, Erin Taylor, said. "This club has been a dream of mine for a number for years, and for many of those years students have come to me, knowing my background in public relations, and have asked me about internships and how they might get involved in this field," club adviser, Dr. Fredi Avalos, said. "For me, this club allows the students to take what they've learned; their skill set knowledge, and connect the dots to a real profession. An exciting profession: public relations, putting theory to work." There is plenty of room for participants and the club is looking for people that have the motivated spirit to help the club achieve its goals.

Organization Spotught Civility Campaign exercises strong values on campus BYKATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students ^ ill often see their peers wearing bright green t-shirts marked with the name "Civility" on the first Tuesday of every month. The Civility Campaign seeks to bring together the values of care, respect and empathy while acknowledging culture and humanity on campus. Thefirsttwo years of the program were designed to spread the awareness of Civility's core beliefs. They developed an event called Civility Champions, where peers nominated students, faculty and staff that represent the values of the program on campus. In its third year, the Civility Campaign shifted its focus to partnering up with orgs, on campus that are doing this and much more. * "We want to focus our programmatic emphasis on anti-bullying, bystander interven- tion and intergroup dialogue," program coordinator, Greg Toya, said. "We envision looking at more opportunities to have activities that will spark conversations around diversity dialogue." "We need to bring awareness to our campus and expose students to what they're not used to," Gross-Cultural Center peer educator and Civility Campaign member, Arely Ramos, said. The Civility Unity event in October brought together all dimensions of the campaign's values by creating activities for students. For the concept of respect, the LGBTQA Pride Center created activities centered around bullying. For empathy, Student Health and Counseling Services focused on domestic violence and alcohol awareness. For culture, Kellogg Library had participants contribute to a mural. For humanity, Civility created "couch conversations," where people talked about their hopes and dreams. Also in October, Civility partnered up with the Majors and Minors Fair to promote the campaign to new students. In honor of Veterans Day in November, Civility had community members write thank you notes to students at the Veterans Center. In December, Civility partnered up with Hillel to play dreidel games. Participants learned different facts about Judaism, Jewish people and history. In February, Civility partnered up with BSU for Black History Month and did a "couch conversation" about discrimination. On March 4, they partnered up with USUAB, the Gender Equity Center, SLL, and the Pride Center to do a Herstory Month event.

P hoto provided by herself. Being vegetarian easier than you think B Y RESTY GREY STAFF W RITER American society is eating too much meat and not enough vegetables. I am willing to bet the last thing you ate had some sort of processed meat added to the plate to give the meal a sense of "completeness." Vegans and vegetarians have a good chance of winning that bet, but I think the odds are in my favor. Why do we eat dead animals? Most of us have come to believe that it is our best source for protein but where do you think the animals get their protein? Our society is consuming enough micronutrients. When protein is consumed in abundance, the nutrients that are not immediately used become stored as fat. In a time where feast or famine was normal, storing fat would be ideal. However, the advancements in our contemporary culture make the convenience of the dollar menu too accessible. Eating has changed from a conscious decision of sustenance to a habitual action to fulfill some innate desire to feel good. Don't get me wrong; I think meat is deli- cious, but so are cigarettes. There are countless studies showing the positive benefits from reducing the amount of animal intake. Fun fact: cholesterol is only found in animal products. Meat seems to dominate our culture. Men are seen as wussies if they refrain from eating meat. Satirical twitter account @overlymanlyman makes apparent our societal stereotypes by tweeting, "How do I like my steak? Next to my other s t e a k j ^ In her book, Main Street Vegan, Victoria Moran states "at some point it entered the collective consciousness that meat and masculinity were inextricably linked." But it's 2014, Victoria. I thought we were past those preconceived notions of inequality between genders; apparently not. I'm pesco-lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but let's just refer to it as semi-vegetarian. I still eat eggs, cheese and fish, but I have completely cut out cow, pig and chicken from my diet. I have abstained for two months and I honestly feel fantastic. I don't feel weak, sick or deprived in any way. My body feels and looks better. I'm active; serving tables, running, riding and playing basketball. My stomach never feels heavy from food and I feel an increase in energy. My bowel movements are timely, meaning my digestive system is working properly and I have a greater appreciation for vegetables. Since cutting out practically 33 percent of my diet, I have been filling that excess space with delicious nutrient-dense whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts. What vegetarians would consider their five basic food groups . My eating changed from a habitual action to a conscious choice. I became aware of how much animal flesh I actually consumed on a daily basis. I no longer believe dead animals should be a staple food group, but I can still enjoy the occasional tilapia and fish sinigang my mother loves to cook when I come home to visit. Instead of letting your next meal pick you, try to remember the last time you ate a bright green granny smith apple or even add crisp red cabbage on your burger instead of habitually buying that bland, dead animal. The topic of dietary preference can be just as touchy of a conversation as politics or religion. Veganism is often labeled as radical and even dangerous, both for the diet's limitations in food choices as well as its profound respect for animals' lives. Vegans are not only concerned with who they eat but are often more concerned with the amount of nutrient density that comes with each bite. . My personal progression into veganism, or what I like to refer to as "plant-based," has been a life changing experience in a number of ways. Growing up, my body had an inability to digest foods such as meat, dairy and gluten efficiently. Due to my body's shortcomings, as a child and far into my teenage years, I often found myself fatigued, bloated, having abdominal pains and suffering from degenerative arthritis. Despite frequent trips to medical specialists, there was never more offered to me than painkillers, laxatives and physical therapy. The notion of perhaps changing my diet was never mentioned. It was at the age of 19 that I decided to begin searching for alternative ways to improve my health. After doing some research, I discovered the benefits of restricting my diet to the bare essentials. I came tofindout that the most nutrient dense and easily digestible foods are produce items such as fruits and vegetables. For the past five years, I have been working towards transitioning myself into the plant-based lifestyle. Although it takes time, and is not something I advise anyone to do overnight, it has helped to better my overall quality of life. I no longer suffer from exhaustion spells or irritable bowel syndrome. Even the joint pain caused from my osteoarthritis, which will affect me for the 'Dumb Starbucks' a big publicity stunt B Y CAITLYN THIBODEAU STAFF WRITER "Dumb Starbucks" was a worldwide phenomenon for a day in Los Angeles, when its doors opened and comedian, Nathan Fielder, came outside. The star of the comedy show, "Nathan for You," was revealed as the owner of the parody shop. Fielder claimed commitment to the store, as well as its widespread populari-; ty was short lived when the LA County Department of Health Services shut him down for opening without valid permits.

Not only do I love my own body, but I have found a new respect for the body of all beings. The innocence of animals and the maltreatment they face within the overly abundant slaughter houses and factory farms spread across the United States, which is alarming. The industrial meat and dairy industries confine hundreds of animals into small areas where they are often exposed to chemicals, disease and injuries. These factories are also known for their practice of injecting antimicrobial agents and hormone - supplements into the animals as a way to fatten them and eliminate illness. These animals suffer throughout their entire lives as they are restricted to cages and are unable to move about naturally. My disapproval for the way factory farming conducts this grotesque sense of assembly line production has altered my initial decision to become plant-based into more of a compassionate, ethical stance. I believe strongly that humans have lost touch with nature, animals and plants alike. We have been responsible for innumerable amounts of innocent deaths for centuries and have now made this idea of slaughter and comfort consumption a corporate conglomerate based solely on profit. I understand that the idea of converting everyone to a plant-based lifestyle is unreasonable. However, there are both health and ethical benefits into limiting animal product intake that most people do not consider or are even knowledgeable of. I urge everyone to take the time to understand what it is they are putting into their body and where it has come from. It, and when, choosing to eat meat, people should be sure to get it locally and organically. Local farmers are more invested in both the animals' welfare and the consumers' welfare. Still, raw vegetables and fruits are considered to be the most nutritionally substantial foods due to their live enzymes. It is time that humans begin to eat to survive rather than live to eat. er audience for his show. In my opinion, the opening of "Dumb Starbucks" was definitely just a publicity stunt meant to gain more viewers for a show I never would have heard of before his appearance as CEO. I mean let's look at the facts; he opened a store with a patented world-renowned company. "As long as we're making fun of Starbucks, we're allowed to use their corporate identity," Fielder, on opening day, said. I think the real question behind this entire debacle is whether Fielder is a really unqualified and uninformed business owner, or if he's an extremely savvy self-promoter.

I enjoy being primal and tearing meat from the bones of ribs. If it's so "unnatural", why do millions of people enjoy doing the very same thing? If you throw an apple on the ground, chances are your dog is not going to purposely consume it. They may swallow some thinking it's a new ball, but they do not naturally eat or enjoy eating apples. The dog is by instinct a carnivore, just like we humans are instinctively omnivores. You can make claims that we are not supposed to eat meat but the fact is we do. There are marly more people in this world that consume meat than those who don't. In some countries like the U.S. and the UK it makes up the bulk of individuals' diets. In countries where it doesn't, meat is a rare delicatessen. Sometimes it is only to be cherished and eaten during times of celebration. Many of our close primate relatives are omnivores. So are many primitive tribes that G oing so far as t o taking a big bite o ut o f a f rozen steak, by Justin D onner. are still excellent examples of human beings in their raw and unindustrialized form. "Nearly all herbivores, like cows, have fermenting vats — large chambers in their stomachs where microbes attack plant material for digestion. Humans don't. Intestine function relies more on surface area than length. As mentioned earlier, creatures with plant-based diets need larger guts to absorb more energy, while carnivores have rather small intestines. Humans possess intermediate-sized digestive tracts," according to John McArdle of the Vegetarian Research Group. Many important nutrients can be obtained from meat such as calcium, vitamin B12, and protein. A person who engages in heavy physical activity needs to rely on the nutrients from meat to help their body recover. For example, in the sport of body building, it is recommended to at least get one gram of protein per pound of body weight. This would be nearly impossible on a vegan diet. One would be left to use soy, and that destroys your testosterone levels. Not exactly ideal for a man trying to build muscle. Researchers at Oxford University recently followed 35,000 individuals aged 20 to 89 for a period of five years and discovered that vegans are 30% more likely to break a bone than their vegetarian andflesh-eatingpeers. I have heard the argument that livestock production causes an excess of methane gas. Our human bodies have a hard time fully digesting the complex carbs in a vegetarian diet, and this results in more human released gas. In my opinion, we will have gas from either the vegetarians or the cows, so I will just enjoy my meat. www.DayCampJobs.com Earn your Master of Professional Accountancy.

What many may not know about is the off-campus gallery in Old California. CSUSM owns the gallery and features artwork both for and sometimes by, the students behind the Old California Coffee House, neighboring IHOP and the movie theater. The gallery was founded in early 2012 and outlasted most of its neighboring businesses in the area during that time. Since then, it acts as both a celebration and a gathering place for artistic minded individuals both on and off campus. The gallery showcased a multitude of artists in the past. For the first time, it has formed a joint partnership with the Oceanside Museum of Art to display the "Altered Landscapes" Exhibit, with a student art showcase set to premier on March 14. "We change the exhibits every six weeks," Marilyn Huerta said. "So we generally have about two or three exhibits per semester." This does not include the exhibits over summer, during which the gallery remains open. While the Altered Landscapes Exhibit is set to hold its closing reception on Friday March 7 . The student art showcase Redefined II is set to hold its opening reception on the March 14, featuring a performance by the Cal State San Marcos Jazz Ensemble. The off-campus gallery is open Fridays- and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and located at Old California Restaurant Row, 1080 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos in the village shops area. Admission is free to both students and the public. Great House. The Story of a Des Book Review B YNOELLE F MEDBERG SENIOR STAFF W RITER VPA seniors create Capstone concert B Y N A D A S EWIDAN STAFF W RITER An upcoming Capstone event hosted by several CSUSM music majors is a Billy Joel tribute. The Visual and Performing Art major requires students to set up a Capstone as part of their curriculum. Music students have a choice between putting on a concert or producing an album. The Capstone is a production showcasing the skills and knowledge students learn. Since November, the students involved in this event contributed more than 20 hours practicing and setting up for the concert in preparation for the show. CSUSM students, Stephanos Georg- es and Scott Middough, are hosting. Georges will be on piano and vocals while Middough is on drums. "I am looking forward to playing with my fellow musicians who are more advanced than I," Georges said. "Playing with others who are more advanced than you encourages you to practice harder and play better." Middough's role in the concert also includes setting up the technical aspects of sound and lighting. CSUSM student Josh Fowler will be playing bass. "It'll be a fun show," Fowler said. "We try to make it feel like a concert experie n c e T h e show is free of charge. It begins at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 in Arts 111. Nicole Krauss' third novel is a story of revolution, love, loss - and yes, a desk. It is a tale of an American novelist who has been writing at her beloved desk for 25 years. A s the story g oes on, it becomes known that she actually inherited this desk from a Chilean poet who disappeared at the hands of Pinochet's secret police. But the women's world is turned upside down when the poet's now-grown daughter comes to take the desk back. . This catapults the novel into a collection of scenes from around the world that all tell of the lives of the characters who once called the desk their own. The reader is transported from N ew York, to a London suburb, to an antique shop in Jerusalem, to a poet trying to survive under a harsh dictator. For all of these different characters, the desk stands for all that has been taken from them. This allows the novel to ask the crucial question: how do w e survive change? Krauss' novel gives a beautiful and well-written answer to this question. By the end of the book, the desk is no longer just a desk. It lives on as a symbol of what has been lost, but also as a source of hope. I couldn't put this com- pelling book down. Krauss paints each of the characters so intimately that you feel as if you are experiencing their struggles alongside them. You feel loss over their losses, and joy over their triumphs. I suggest this book for anyone looking for a stimulating read amidst the humdrum of classes. It will transport you from the boring reality of your accounting homework into a world that is wondrously intertwined by a single piece of furniture. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Job Outlook's 2012 survey states that in 2012 employers plan to hire 9.5 percent more new graduates compared to 2011. "Employers will continue to be selective which means that they are more likely to hire graduates with more experience, higher levels of motivation, and a focused interest in their industry," Mike Profita, former Director of Career Services at Skidmore College, said on About.com. time of year." CSUSM student turn out for elections has been low in prior years. Approximately 10 percent of the student population voted in the 2011 elections, according to ASI presidential candidate Scott Silviera. "We actually have more applicants and candidates running than the election in March. My hopes are that is a sign that the students will still continue with their involvement," said Gallegos. During the original March elections, there were 22 people running in total. This special election has 27 candidates. Gallegos said, "We have new faces that have stepped up as well as those who ran in the first election." PAGE 3 - S E N I O R ATHLETE S P O T L I G H T kw W* PAGE 5 - llBl Ëè?

During his visit, he informed students about the inner-workings of local politics in the City of San Marcos and discussed city involvement in current and upcoming developments. Mayor Desmond was elected to his position in 2006 and re-elected in 2010. The mayor stated he makes $15,000 per year and serves on the City Council. As of April 24, the City Council has hired a city manager, starting on June 4, 2012. Both Mayor Desmond and the city manager will be spearheading upcoming developments near CSUSM. "Who's my b oss?

With the unemployment rates close to ten percent, it is now a necessity to search for a job before graduation comes around. Before, students would just wait till after their commencement to look for a job. "I was originally going to become a teacher, but my sister got her credential and had no job prospects, so she advised me to change my major.

The Quad is a city projeqt, part of the creation of a University District. The entire project will feature university friendly businesses, places to hang out and more pedestrian-friendly streets. The goal is that "you can live there," stated Desmond in reference to both the University District and the downtown Creek District. "You don't have to be as dependent on cars. Our worst problem is the traffic issue." Miller said. According to Campuscareercenter.com, the key to a successful and profitable career search is research and networking. Meet with influential people, get the right information, and get good leads. Ask yourself what you would really like to do and see yourself doing. Find contacts in the area that you would like to work. Get help from people with 'influence'. "I am very excited (about graduating), but I think I am more excited about being an alum and coming back to the CoB A program and give back what they gave to me," graduating senior Jessica Kates said. Q: Your opponent, Scott Silviera, is an advocate for the Civility campaign. How do you feel about the proposal the campaign hopes to present? A: I feel that the Civility Campaign is very good for the campus community because it gives students the opportunity to come together and advocate for each other. Q: I understand you are an advocate for the Pride and Women's Centers, what changes (if any) would you want to make regarding the civility campaign on campus?

Q: Do you wish to continue your softball career professionally? A: I am leaving on May 30 to play for semipro team U W in the Netherlands. Q: What was your best experience playing softball? A: My personal best softball experience was opening day of the new softball field on campus at CSUSM, three years ago. There was a great crowd of students, friends and family supporting us. We ended up beating Redlands University, a very good division III team. I hit two home runs my first two at bats, and that was very exciting. Q: In what ways has playing softball shaped your life? A i l believe softball and athletics in general have made me into the person I am today. It has taught my work ethic, discipline, and leadership skills which I am using currently in the work force, as well as open many opportunities such as playing softball in Netherlands and gaining, great lifelong friends through all the team mates I have had. Q: Has your family influenced you to be athletic? A: My parents have always encouraged extracurricular activities to keep me busy as a kid. However, I decided Athlete continued on 4.

A survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that one-third of adults in the United States report getting inadequate amounts of sleep. * The college population is even more effected by sleep deprivation, as portrayed in a study at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. The study, which can be found online in the "Journal of Adolescent Health", reported that 70 percent of college students fail to get eight hours of sleep per night. Eight hours of sleep per night is recommended for adults and college students, as reported by the CDC. This recommendation increases when your brain is utilized more often; however, this suggestion rarely becomes reality. During finals week, sleep becomes more important; however, sleep deprivation is more common during this period. Of the 1,125 students in the study, 20 percent pulled all-nighters at least once a week to keep up with academic tasks. Sleep deprivation presents an abundance of problems.

ALEX FRANCO STAFF W RI TER The NBA playoffs are set and are in full effect. After a long, tumultuous labor disagreement to begin the season, the playoffs are finally here with 16 teams taking aim at the grandest prize in the league. In the western conference, the number one seeded San Antonio Spurs began their run to the finals with a 106-91 victory over number eight seed, Utah Jazz. The number two seed in the western conference belongs to scoring champion Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they take on the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder narrowly escaped the Mavs on Saturday as Kevin Durant's last second heroics propelled them to victory. The Los Angeles Lakers are the number three seed and defeated the sixth seeded Nuggets behind Andrew Bynum's record 10 blocks to take a 1-0 series lead. Another Los Angeles team made history this weekend when the fifth seed Clippers erased a 27 point deficit in a comeback for the ages to defeat the fourth seeded Memphis Grizzlies. The Eastern Conference side of the playoffs saw just as much excitement and controversy as the West did. It began with the number one seeded Chicago Bulls beating the eight seeded 76ers but ultimately losing something more valuable than the game, when reigning MVP Derrick Rose tore his ACL late in game one ending the postseason for him. Fourth seeded Boston Celtics were never able to catch the fifth seed Atlanta Hawks v as they were defeated 74-83. The sixth seeded Orlando Magic upset the three seeded Indiana Pacers, surprisingly defeated them 81-77 without star player Dwight Howard on the court as he is still out with injury. Finally, LeBron James and the Miami Heat look to return to the finals like they did in 2011 with hopes of a different result than what they were given that year. They defeated the New York Knicks, handedly in a 100-67 rout with LeBron powering them with 32 points.

Indy hopes to have struck gold again with Luck at quarterback and produce the same results Manning did when they chose him number one overall back in the 1998 draft and went on to win a record, four league MVP awards and a Super Bowl title. Luck wasn't the only quarterback taken right away, the Washington Redskins also fulfilled their QB troubles and drafted Heisman trophy winner, Robert Griffin HI with the second overall pick. The first round saw its fair share of teams trading in order to draft the player they covet the most. The Cleveland Browns, nfl Jacksonville Jaguars, and Dallas Cowboys all traded up in the draft Thursday night to draft, running back Trent Richardson, wide receiver Justin Blackmon, and cornerback Morris Claiborne, respectively. This year's draft marked just the fifth time in the draft's history that two quarterbacks were taken one and two overall, with Luck and Griffin HI being chosen. We won't know just who was worthy of their selection until the season begins this fall when the men are separated from the boys.

Since the first Pride Parade held in New York in 1969, the parade has traveled all over the country, allowing members of the LGBTQ community and allies to exhibit their support. The annual parade is held in numerous regions to demonstrate. the necessity of fundamental human rights being extended to individuals who identify as LGBTQ. CSUSM's first Pride Walk will begin outside of the Commons building at noon towards Palm Court for a photo and continue towards Library Plaza, in which the capacity will be co.unted. LGBTQ Pride Center director, Robert Aiello-Hauser explained the purpose for the campus-wide march. "May 1 is an opportunity for campus to live up to the university's mission and vision and the core values" of an inclusive community. There are a lot of allies that 'talk,' but to visibly see individuals showing support for students at CSUSM will say and mean a lot to the community," Aiello-Hauser said. He went on to say that being an ally is important, especially when support is necessary to obtain human rights, such as marrying someone of the same sex or demonstrating love publicly. Showing ally-ship is much more than promises; it is visually demonstrating support, even when it may not be convenient. semester's final CWLS event K YL E M .JOHNSO N S TAF F W R I T E R On Thursday, April 26, authors Craig Santos Perez and Susan M.

After being introduced by Mark Wallace, Perez stood before the audience and requested that everyone in attendance boo and heckle him, all of which he filmed to post on his Facebook. Before beginning his reading, Perez shared how he moved from Guam to California when he was in high school, and that he used poetry as a means to stay connected to his culture. "That's why poetry's so important to me; it kind of connects me to home," Perez said. The first poem read by Perez, from his unfinished, third book, was largely about SPAM,the canned precooked meat product, and its significance in his culture/However, Perez later revealed that the poem consisted entirely of found language, meaning that none of the words in the poem were his own, but a compilation of phrases he found while researching the product.

JOHNSON c ougarchron.featuras@gmail.co m CSUSM hosts first cigarette butt cleanup CURTI S BOVEE STAFF W RI TER On Friday, April 20, a group of 41 student volunteers participated in CSUSM's first cigarette butt cleanup, called "Kick Butts off CSUSM." Cigarette butts are a form of non-biodegradable litter, meaning that when they are discarded, they stay around. As a result, their presence is seen in streets, drains, rivers, beaches and the ocean, ultimately polluting the environment even further. Students and faculty of the Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU developed original methodology for the cleanup event. This year marks SDSU's 3rd annual cigarette butt cleanup. The event on CSUSM was coordinated by Dr. Devan Romero, assistant professor of kinesiology at CSUSM, and Vanessa Martinez, a senior kinesiology student at CSUSM. Each of the 41 volunteers present collected cigarette butts for one hour, with a grand total of 5 38 9 cigarette butts. "These findings are astonishing as there is already a group on campus that picks up cigarette butts and other campus litter each week and we collected over five-thousand butts in only one hour," Romero said. The purpose of the event, according to Romero, is to: . »Create environmental awareness of cigarette butt litter as toxic waste. •Create a partnership with SDSU to advocate for smoke free environments. •Inform students of the complex problem of cigarette butt waste from an en- vironmental and behavioral perspective. According to the National Institute of Health, by 2025, an estimated 9 trillion cigarettes will be consumed worldwide, while 1.69 billion pounds of butts will wind up as litter worldwide per year. Romero hopes that her research will help to drastically reduce these figures. "My future research will revolve around whether raising awareness of cigarette butts as toxic waste and as a detriment to the campus environment changes litter behavior, ultimately reducing it. Also, whether the impact of knowing the extreme toxicity of cigarette smoking to our environment's health will motivate smoking cessation in the college population," Romero said.

For those who have developed an addiction to coffee and/or other sources of caffeine, services are probably available to help wean you off the stuff. That is, unless you were accepted into a graduate-level program of some sorts. For me, I had too much fun one semester, thus I have to take a fifth year to get my GPA back to a competitive standing. At first, I bemoaned this fate, but I eventually came to a powerful and deeply comforting realization - the economy is still in the dump. Unemployment is still high and the most economically-seund plan at this point is to stay in school as c ougarchron . o pinion@ g ma il .com T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE / M A Y I , 2 0 1 2 long as one can. Suddenly, I was ecstatic about my fate - a fifth year at CSUSM seemed to be a Godsend compared to struggling to find a j o b in the real world. Continuing on into a Master's or even a Doctorate program isn't too shabby of a plan either, as it will only grant me access to more skills and knowledge employers will find vital once the job market improves. So, whilst you all "lucky" graduates are toiling under the weight of real world bills and real world unemployment, I and the other "unlucky" souls will be here toiling under the stress of midterms, finals, caffeine addiction, papers, late-night study sessions, and refrigerators fully stocked with all the ale one can stand.

While it is cliché and overused, the fact is that we have graduated from college, and for that we can be proud of ourselves. We did it! "It," however, is not just the solitary act of graduating; "it" refers to every individual act that it took to get to this point. "It" is thè incredible amount of hours spent in the classroom, and the even more incredible amount of hours invested in schoolwork conducted at home, in the library, in between work shifts, everywhere imaginable. "It" refers to the struggle to find the necessary classes in specific time slots to fit your schedule. "It" refers to the tuition increases, which took place even after you had already paid off your semester fees. "It" refers to paying seemingly ludicrous amounts for a parking permit, even on semesters when you only attended class two days a week. "It" refers to overpriced textbooks. "It" refers to showing up to class, only to realize that you didn't check your email where your professor reported that he or she wouldn't be coming to class. "It" refers to showing up to class when the professor didn't even send out an email to say he or she wouldn't be in class. "It" refers to the fact that attending a school built on a hill requires the ascension up countless flights of stairs of varying length and steepness. (However, we now possess defined, youthful calves to show for it.) "It" refers to the dreaded midterms, finals and exams, for all classes, which all seemed to conveniently take place during the same respective week. But, "it" was not all bad. "It" was that sense of accomplishment as you witnessed your Academic Requirement Report gradually filling up, semester after semester. "It" was feeling touched by a professor's desire for you to learn. "It" was that sense of understanding gained regarding your purpose in the classroom. "It" was those people you met, grew close to and endured alongside in the classroom . "If ' was checking your report card to find passing grades. "It" was learning alternate routes through campus to avoid those asking, "Are you registered to vote?" (By the way, if you're not registered, visit sos.ca.gov) "It" was having a professor who posted on Cougar Courses as many excerpts from the textbooks as they legally could. "It" was all of these things; a combination of moments that contributed towards your feelings of stress and anxiety, but also accomplishment; feelings of doubt and hesitancy, but also purpose. And here we are, with something to show for it, something for which we can be proud. At the end of my junior year, I wrote an essay for myself, entitled, "The Best Years of Someone Else's Life." It chronicled my college experience up until that point, and questioned the frequent claim made by some referring to college as the best years of their life. I hadn't felt that and I wondered why. Was it because I spent three years at a community college before transferring? Was it because I wasn't involved in any clubs or fraternities? Was it because I commuted NOW HIRING H UON G (0UCATION4 ' t e W K l l l t l t ; siiB^ftittSiéSiilistfilîSg I 3 'MJÊBÈÊ v We believe every individual with autism and other developmental and learning disabilities has the right to lead a valued, meaningful, and fulfilling life of uncompromised quality in their community.

All these questions and more led to my further curiosity and I summed up the essay with the conclusion that maybe what I needed was to get involved; meet more people, attend school functions, anything that could contribute towards the so-called "college experience." At the start of my senior year, I began writing for the student newspaper. It was during my run as a volunteer staff writer for the paper that I began to feel a sense of purpose at school. I invested more of my time into making deadlines than I invested in my classwork. And somehow, my grades rose significantly. I felt productive for the first time in a really long time. It made me feel good about myself by instilling within me a step towards finding out why people call college "the best years of their life." I began to imagine the potential of the experience, had I began that kind of involvement upon first entering campus . I imagined it would've been a drastically different experience. If there is anyone reading «Ms this who is feeling discouraged from the college life for any reason, I can confidently say that you can find motivation in putting yourself out there to tackle such and similar endeavors. Motivation is a necessary ingredient to pursue a college degree. Without motivation, you have no desire. Without desire, you have apathy or less. And with that, you cannot accomplish much. You can apply that same theory to life after college. Whether it is in graduate school, finding a job or taking the time to explore the world around you, you must be motivated. This graduation, while it has felt like a long time coming, is just the beginning. Now we must set out into the dark and scary world. But it doesn't have to be ominous and foreboding. As a lover of film, I tend to reference movies frequently. So, I 'l l leave you with this quote said by James Dean's character in "Rebel without a Cause:" "Life can be beautiful." Set out and do your best to make it that. In us is the ability to conquer and restore the world. |N LO N ^ Letter to the Editor The article written by Jessie Gambrell, [Should CSUSM take César Chavez Day off?,] was a great piece that should be considered thoroughly by the leadership at Cal State San Marcos. I, as a student, was wondering why we don't recognize Presidents Day. I am a veteran, and I believe that our founding fathers, such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and -even Abraham Lincoln, all should be recognized on Presidents Day. Once again, [César] Chavez is an inspirational activist who should receive récognition-not overshadow Presidents Day. This country was founded on principles, valués and courage to break away from one of the biggest monarchs this world has ever seen. CSUSM should recognize Presidents Day for years to come and appreciate the freedoms that exist today. -Shane Schneider Are s tudent s incidentally " "glorifying" Kony? K o n y 2012 signs inundate our campus JESSI E GAMBRELL STAFF W RITER On April 23, chalk and signs were put up all over campus essentially "glorifying" Kony. "Kony 2012" the poster says, along with a picture of Joseph Kony, a war-lord from central Africa. This signs were first made to promote the short film, "Kony 2012" from the makers of "The Invisible Children," a different short film documentary that shows the cruel world of children being abducted by Joseph Kony to become soldiers in his army. This film was a huge hit and had a huge following. "Their original documentaries were great, I just don't know what this (Kony 2012) does. I have heard that it is a scam," said student, Tyler Allred. The documentary, "Kony 2012" depicts how the Invisible Children organization intends to capture and get rid of Kony. The signs and other propaganda are a means to raise money f o r "the cause" of "capturing" Kony at last. But there has been much speculation as to where exactly all this money is going. "I kind of think that it [Kony 2012] is a scam. The money, where does it go? I don't know what is going t o do for us catching him," said freshman, Ryan Vaickus. One of the three film makers of "Kony 2012," Jason Russell, was discovered, Thursday, March 15, oh a street corner in downtown San Diego, naked and having an alleged "meltdown" in public. He was arrested and is being treated medically for the incident. This among other "sketchy" instances give reason to doubt the validity of the Invisible Children organization. But this incident also helped the "Invisible Children" and "Kony 2012" videos become more viral, since everyone wanted to know everything involved with the scandal. "I heard it was the most viral video, it seems like a big "trendy" topic. The writing all over the school though, definitely, made me more annoyed with it," said CSUSM staff member, Nick. The signs all over campus, I believe, were at first well intended, but now it seems to have "over-run" the school and that we are getting away from the whole point that they seem to be striving to be making. Some of the chalk on our school grounds even says, "Kony - 2012. Make him famous!" I am not sure who wrote these or if they are even affiliated with the Kony 2012 team, but this I do believe is not what they meant to say. We do not want to "glorify" someone who is a mass-murderer and communist and by saying, "make him famous" no matter how they meant it, is glorifying him. Uninformed students might support who they believe to be a good person for the sake of our misleading public media. I hope that we can see and realize that something has gone wrong and we need to change this. �10 A & E T H E C OUGA R C HRONICL E / M A Y I , 2 0 1 2 Fall into step with Off Centre performance tre performances/This is the 'mainstay' for the dance minor," said dance instructor, This year marks the tenth Dr. Karen Schaffman. year for the faculty and stuThe performance will be dents producing "Off Cen- held on Thursday, May 3 tre," an annual production and Friday, May 4 at 7 p.m. beginning in 2003.

JESSI E G AM BREL L S TAF F W R I TE R SECTION EDITOR MELISSA M ARTINEZ c ougarchro n .artsOgm ail.co m Students raise money to keep art in S a n D ieg o classrooms M OR GA N H AL L S TAF F W R I TE R Instead of spending their Friday night enjoying a movie or out with friends, the students of VPA 380-17 attempted to keep art alive. "It was amazing that everyone worked together and the event turned out to be a big success," participant Brenton Lake said. Starting on Friday, April 20 and ending April 21, the CSUSM students of "Art and Social Change" organized, hosted and curated a student run art show themed "Keep Art Alive," where works of art provided by students from High Tech were auctioned off to the highest bidder. "I'm amazed with the amount of money we raised. I think for sure, that was our biggest accomplishment," participant Tiffany Jackman said. By the end of the event, the class had auctioned off all 26 student art pieces and raised just over $800 to be donated to the CSUSM based CenterARTES organization which is headed by Dr. Merry1 Goldberg and supports and encourages arts education and arts advocacy in San Diego County schools and communities. The "Keep Art Alive" event had a live band, several raffles, free food and several different types of student artwork. Students and parents from High Tech High and CSUSM, San Marcos community members and even Jim Eubank, the original founder of Restaurant Row, came out to donate and support the event. Photos by Morgan Hall. Planning began late February with the help of Marilyn Huerta when the CSUSM art galley in Restaurant Row had an open space to display student work. After guidance from their professor Kristen Moss, the class decided to partner with a group of art students from High Tech High to display and auction off their artwork. Planning took place during the Tuesday and Thursday class meetings and on the Cougar Courses forums. "I think it was pretty ambitious of our class to plan an art gallery event and work with teen art students outside of class, while still juggling homework and [our] personal lives," participant Laura Musgrove said. To make sure that each member of the class could contribute to the event, the students formed several different committees, which had a select group traveling JULI AN A S TUH P P Boston teen, "Denise" alongside Jimmy Fallon as "Sully." After leaving the sketch show, she auditioned for a role on "30 Rock" with "SNL" cast mate, Tina Fey. However, Dratch found it difficult to find work and was commonly hired for unwanted roles, such as secretaries or lesbians, or both. Still, she has made some cameos in Adam Sandler movies such as "Click" and "Just Go With It." Dratch also illustrates her experience meeting her husband, John Wahl, after she was ready to give up on her dream of falling in love and having a family. S TAF F W R I TE R T a p 5 movies for the recent college graduat e KYLE M.JOHNSON STAFF WRITER 1 ."Reality Bites" (1994): While it is often marketed as a romantic-comedy, thisfilmfollows aspiring documentarian Lelaina (Winona Ryder), as she seeks to make meaning of her postgraduate life with the help of her friends and roommates . With an honest plot and a great supporting cast (Ethan Hawke, Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo), "Reality Bites" stands as one of the most important films of the 90s. 2."The Graduate" (1967): Considered incredibly risqué at the time of its release, this classic stars Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate with no idea what to do with his life. Ignoring the pressure from his parents to take his future more seriously, Benjamin spends hisfreetime having an affair with the middle-aged Mrs. Robinson, and lounging in the pool. When Mrs. Robinson's daughter comes to town, and Benjamin is encouraged to date her, things get more complicated than they already are. In her autobiography, "Girl Walks into a Bar..."author Rachel Dratch offers an entertaining and humorous read to enjoy during free time or over the summer. Many memoirs nowadays usually include some sort of scandal being exposed about their childhood or a rough time in that individual's life. However, Dratch's book includes universal situations such as dating and her "midlife miracle," a recount of her experience being pregnant at forty years old. A regular performer on "Saturday Night Live" from 1999 to 2006, Dratch played recurring characters like "Debbie Downer" and to High Tech High to work with the students one-Qn-one and give advice on student artwork, ideas and concepts. "Knowing that all of their work was bought is really going to make them feel great and physically see the importance of art," participant Kevin O'Neil said. The money ràised will be formally presented to Dr. Goldberg before the end of the semester. In "Girl Walks into a Bar..." Dratch proves that even though her personal life has gone through many changes, she still is able to entertain years after her "SNL" days. 3."Into the Wild" (2007): This film tells the true story of Christopher McCandless, a recent college graduate who donates his savings, abandons his car and destroys his identification before venturing out to hitchhike across the United States towards his ultimate goal of isolation in the Alaskan wildlife, away from society. The lives he touches and the beauty he explores contribute towards an incredible journey with a devastatingly, tragic ending. 4. "With Honors" (1994): While the graduation doesn't come until the ending, this film is a notable one for recent college graduates. Brendan Fraser stars as Monty, a Harvard undergrad whose thesis makes its way into the hands of local homeless man, Simon (Joe Pesci). A deal is made: for every favor Monty performs for Simon, he can have one page of his thesis back. What follows is a mentor-pupil relationship between the two, which promises life lessons and profound wisdom. 5."St. Elmo's Fire" (1985): Featuring many members of the 1980s' "Brat Pack," this film tells the story of a group bf friends who struggle with their friendships, romantic relationships and futures following college. While the acting is at times melodramatic, the themes are sincere and the relationships are honest, providing an array of characters with which to identify.

"There is no one department; it is the spirit of CSUSM that makes the difference not just with ACE Scholars but Veteran, Native Americans and others. They are all accepted and valued and that is the major contributor to our success." Earlier this year, Jan and Esther Sterns made a generous donation of $1 million to ACE Scholars to create an endowment and the new center. The new center, which is located in Craven Hall 3400, has a large study area with new computers, training room, program offices, community resource office and student lounge. "We have only been in the new center just over three months so we are just beginning to learn how this environment is impacting ACE Scholars," Mickelson said. "I have however seen the pride our ACE Scholars have for this center." ACE Scholars will have their graduation celebration at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 7 in the Tukwut Courtyard. Mickelson said that it is open to all and he encourages all members of the campus community to attend. "We have many graduation celebrations on this campus where family friends and loved ones can come and rejoice in the students ' success," he said. ' Many of the ACE Scholar lack such support, however the CSUSM community comes out to fill that gap." �Email survey seeks students' views on campus climate B Y K ATLIN S WEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students are being encouraged to complete a campus climate survey about the atmosphere both in and out of the classroom at CSUSM.

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

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

"If you're going to be a leader it has to be because you're empowering other people," Gutowski said, Once you do that, I think you're going to be on a good path." Gutowski leads by example, and examples like his are hard to come by. He will be pursuing a career with Latham & Watkins LLP following graduation; but his legacy, filled with a multitude of friendships and mentorships, will be looked up to by future Cougars as the definition of servant leadership. Kamalayan Alliance President champions leadership and community B Y S HANICE D AVIS A SSISTANT FEATURES E DITOR In the fall of 2011, Nicole Diwag began attending CSUSM, declaring her major as Criminology with a minor in Women's Studies. With her time on campus, she has built her reputation as being the President of the Kamalayan Alliance (KA). In addition to being the pus, so I like seeing all these different events that go on," Diwag said.

"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. She became the president of the club when the opportunity presented itself and she decided to go for it.

"They taught me so much, kept me grounded and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in. myself and really pushed me to succeed," said Silvas. "They inspired and continue to inspire me to work hard and never give up. I will miss having that incredible support system and will miss spending time in their classes and labs. Honestly, I couldn't imagine accomplishing what I have without them." While growing to love the atmosphere of CSUSM, Silvas met many friends who have had a positive impact on her life "I have met so many incredible, unique and brilliant individuals at CSUSM that I will never forget and have made some lifelong friends," she said. "I will definitely miss coming here every day, but I am excited to see it continue to grow in the future." Vivian Nguyen is a dynamic student leader at CSUSM who is grateful for the experiences and opportunities she has had throughout her college career. In her fifth year here on campus, Nguyen is all set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in May. She is currently the Outreach and Communications Specialist for the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), and has also been involved in other organizations such as Orientation Team (O Team) and Alpha Omicron Pi. Through her involvement in these organizations, Nguyen said that she has been transformed and has been given the opportunity to grow through these experiences. "I wasn't involved at all in high school, besides marching band my freshman year. In college, I ended up applying to OTeam on a mere whim, and it helped me grow so much as a person and eventually made me realize that I could in fact be a leader some day," she said. "One of my best friends from OTeam, Dominica Ranieri, pushed me to apply for USUAB , which really became the heart of my transformation on campus... [and] Alpha Omicron Pi showed me the importance of sisterhood, and gave me a hundred sisters when I had no siblings in my family life at home." When asked about the impact she has made at CSUSM, Nguyen humbly responded by saying that she hopes she has been able to influence at least some of her peers during her time as an undergraduate.

According to Guzman, her time at CSUSM has been challenging but rewarding. She especially likes how professors on campus challenge their students to think critically.

When I asked him what he meant, he simply replied that "the people are kind." He spends some of his free time on campus with a group of local and international friends at the Global Education office during the week. The Office of Global Education is a hangout spot for many in- the departments and students. He said that only a "limited amount of people know about all activities in our major" because all of the information and/or opportunities aren't communicated to students.

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. A better name might be 'indentured servants.'

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.

She is interested in applying to SDSU or somewhere in Northern California. Martinez said that her involvement has permanently shaped her views of the world around her. "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. "But through my work on the film festivals, we have met a lot of actors, comedians, Native activists and worked with other organizations to bring things together.

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. Sadly, CSUSM isn't the greatest campus to attend in regards to seeking out futures within these fields.

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

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

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

I love this school because we are constantly evolving. Our music department alone has come a long way, with the recent addition of a Music Major coming this fall. Because our university is still fairly young, we, as a community, have the privilege to be a part of CSUSM history. In my five years here, I have seen the SBSB building, the USU, the Veterans Center, the Quad, the Health Center, as well as many other things come to life. C C: What do you have in plan for your postgraduate future? HG: I love music, I love singing; it's my escape from reality, my Zen; however through my minors in Video Production and Women's Studies I have discovered something empowering. The power of media and how that affects our society. In high school, I always struggled with my body image, it wasn't until I took my first Women's Studies class that I felt empowered to not feel ashamed for not fitting the beauty standards society has structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to school next year to get my Masters in Fine Arts and a PhD in Gender or Women's Studies, so that I can focus on creating videos of some kind to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is my passion, but children are our future. So I say why not go back to school? Why not make a difference? Why not? C C: Is there anyone (or a number of people) you would like to thank or give recognition? HG: As a woman of faith I 'd like to thank God. As a first generation Latina to graduate I 'd like to thank my mom f or raising me as a single mother, my sisters for always pushing me to keep going, my brother and his wife for supporting me, my friends and coworkers for always being there for me, as well as Dr. -ChingMing Cheng, Dr. Pamela Redela and Professor Kristine Diekman for encouraging me to continue with my studies.

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?

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?

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.

Civility Campaign honors Champions and ICONS of 2014 This year honored outstanding members of the student body, faculty and staff. Photos courtesy of Miguel Magana. B Y MIGUEL MAGANA STAFF W RITER The Third Annual Civility Celebration took place on April 30, a celebration in which members of the California State University San Marcos community are honored for their countless acts of care respect and empathy. The Celebration started with Associate Dean of Students, Gregory Toya restating the Civility mission statement and pledge: As a member of the CSUSM com- munity, I will conduct myself with care, respect and empathy, while acknowledging the culture and humanity of others. Toya then happily announced the growth between the Civility Campaign with Student Life & Leadership and the Cross-Cultural Center. The Civility Celebration recognized past events hosted by the Campaign. These events help the ' CSUSM community understand who we go to school with and their culture to eliminate discrimination and hate. Then the Civility Champions were recognized. These Champions were nominated because they live out the Civility Mission. Some words which described these Champions are: polite, safe to be around, pleasure to be with. These Champions are recognized for being involved in issues such as social justice, environmental justice and for being an ally to women. This years Civility ICONs (Initiating Civil Opportunities Now) are students and faculty that are our everyday superheroes, from . giving someone a ride to school to making one feel welcomed. The faculty, staff and students being honored were Dr. Fredi Avalos, Melanie Chu, Kaja Dunn, Terri Metzger, June Trudel, Marie Parrish, Peter Vu, Kevin Adson, Josti Byrd, Jesse Grajeda, Karen Guzman, Rosalie Michaud, Faith Orcino, Ariel Plaza, Jerry Pham, Dominica Ranieri, Nicki Croly, Lia Mauga, Emily Miller and Sonia Perez. One extraordinary student is Rosalie Michaud by an anonymous classmate who had a bad day resolved by Michard. Ms. Anonymous had left class and crying in the stall. Michard followed her and refused to leave until they talked. Ms. Anonymous tried to regain her breath from crying and hyperventilating to talk to Michard. Michard stayed outside her restroom stall saying, "I have two dry shoulders to cry on." As the celebration approached an end, guest speaker and ICON, Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi stressed the importance of Civility. Dr. Ghetaldi then talked about how she tries her best to teach civility in all of her classes. Being a victim to race riots, zebra murders and helping after the Columbine Shooting, Dr. Ghetaldi explained a part of being so connected to the Civility Campaign is because being a victim "never leaves your soul." This year's Civility Celebration did an excellent job honoring its nominees and reminding the audience what Civility is all about.

You have reached an incredible milestone in your life and your commencement ceremony celebrates your hard work and achievement in completing a rigorous and demanding course of study. You should be proud of what you have achieved, as should all those who have supported you in your journey. You have each taken a different path to get to this moment. Some of you navigated through college full time; others have taken a longer route, combining work and family obligations with your academic pursuits. Nearly 50 percent of you are the first in your families to earn a four-year degree. You are veterans, former foster youth, non-traditional students, underrepresented. students. You are wnat make Cal State San Marcos such a unique and vibrant university. I sincerely commend you on your accomplishments. Your reaching commencement demonstrates your fortitude, your resolve, your determination. You exemplify the best that CSUSM has to offer in our graduates and I hope that you will recall your time here fondly. As alumni, you — the Class of 2014 — will join an extraordinary group of individuals who represent hope, creativity and a true passion for lifelong learning. 1 am delighted that you chose Cal State San Marcos and I wish you all the very best in your futures. Karen Haynes, Ph.D. President Senior Farewell Graduating from Cal State University San Marcos B Y VICTORIA PANTELEYEVA GRADUATING SENIOR Switching from Ukrainian alma mater to an American one was a smooth transition for me. As a philologist of English and Turkish, I was interested in finding an optimal major, which could serve as a fitting vehicle for my linguistic abilities. To my great joy, I discovered that CSUSM offered a Global Business Management (GBM) option for business majors. Not giving it a second thought, I enrolled in this option. By minoring in Political Science, I upped the ante. I'm not going to single out any professors I encountered in CSUSM. Nonetheless, I feel obligated to say that all professors in the GBM option are on par with PSCI professors, despite having different pedagogical styles, left their indelible mark on my mind. Being culturally proud and yet having cosmopolitan outlook has always been my forte. In fact, my life philosophy sums up in the words of the most revered Ukrain- ian poet, Taras Shevchenko, who wrote: Learn, study and discern, And learn from foreigners. But don't disdain your own. For these reasons, I felt that being a GBMer will help sate my curiosity about other cultures. Joining Global Business Management Association and becoming its officer brought me closer to like-minded people. Besides, I got an opportunity to widen my social circle by meeting a plethora of international students. I still keep in touch with a lot of them. As GBMers we get encouraged to participate in a study abroad program to widen our cultural horizons, and a number of my friends took up this opportunity and ended up truly benefitting from it. As for me, I chose to culturally enrich myself by travelling independently during last summer to a string of Eastern and Western European countries. After this prolonged travelling, I realized that I selected therightvocation for me. As an afterword, I'd like to say that being the first Ukrainian in my family to study in the US, I'm truly honored to be a graduate from CSUSM. Farewel A bittersweet goodbye B Y R OSS E DMUNDS GRADUATING SENIOR It is needless to say that my time at CSU San Marcos has been a time to cherish, and to be cliché, the best time of my life. Day one at Cal State "Stair Master" began with struggling to summit the 11 staircases to make it to Markstein Building on time, and I would wonder why on earth I chose to go to a school built into the side of a mountain. Three years later, I look forward to that same mountain, and have raised the ante by running Double Peak twice a week with Dr. Nessler and Dr. Newcomer. Running with them has become one of the highlights of my week, with every step I realize how blessed I am to have professors who not only care about academic excellence but also physical well being. Ross Edmunds dominating the indoor rock climbing wall. However, if it weren't for Dr. Astorino, I would have never been able to have the college experience that I did. Dr. A has pushed me to excel within our department, to do things I have never dreamed of doing. Without his guidance, I would have never been able to compete in research competitions or present research at ACSM's National Conference this May in Florida. His mentorship has opened the doors to being a Research Assistant and Teachers Assistant in the Kinesiology Human Performance Lab where I try to pass on my enthusiasm to every new class of students. The fun I've had at CSUSM is immeasurable and it is a bittersweet moment to see graduation on the horizon, because it signals an end of days.

In my time here, I have Ultimately, I would just learned that writing helps me like to take this time, before BY LAUREN HAMMOND 2 013,1 w as g iven the oppor- OPINION E DITOR The first couple years of my undergraduate studies had been characterized by uncertainty, dread and a lack of self-awareness. Being the first of my family to attend college, I had littie understanding of what to expect. Before attending Cal State University San Marcos, I spent one year at a private university in Oregon and two and a half years at a junior college here in Southern California. During that time, I felt a strong disconnect from my peers, my professors and the campuses altogether. This sense of disengagement left me with little motivation and I feared for my future. When coming to San Marcos I had only one intention in mind and that was to earn a bachelor's degree in Literature and Writing, with a concentration in Writing, However, after settling in at the university I found my previous academic detachment lift, as I was greeted with many unique and lifechanging opportunities. In my second semester at CSUSM , in the spring of As a sixth year senior, you long for graduation day when you have finally earned your degree and school is over. But as the day is nearing, it only makes me wish I could spend more time with friends here at CSUSM. I started at California State University, San Marcos in August 2008 and the campus has definitely changed since then. I was able to see the building of the Parking Structure, the Sdcial and Behavioral Sciences Building, the Quad and the brand new University Student Union. As the school has changed and grown, I now realize that I have grown as well. Cal State San Marcos has offered me a great education and I have learned so much from all of my professors. I have made great friendships that I know will last a lifetime. • Before I leave, I have a f ew words of advice for CSUSM students: 1. Be proud of the work that you do. There may be certain occasions where you procrastinated and didn't put too much effort into a research paper. Don't make a habit of it. Instead, submit your best work and be proud of the effort you put into it. 2. Get involved. It took me awhile to realize the importance of getting involved but there will be so many great people that you might miss the chance of meeting if you don't. 3. Don't be too hard on yourself when you fail. There might be that one class that you just don't get, for me that would be anything that involves math or science. If you don't do well, don't worry. It's a lesson that you learn . Just try harder the next time. A ND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST: 4 . Have fun. College is an adventure. I got six years of it. Some of you may get five or four. But there is a time limit; the fun doesn't last forever. So cherisji, the memories. Interested in becoming a teacher? Apply to start this fall ¿ í * ' li T .

I can tell you that as a 17year old freshman, I didn't know what to expect when I decided to move away from my home, step outside my comfort zone and pursue a college education at CSUSM. Although my journey was nothing like I had imagined it to be, it turned out to be the most beautiful ride I have ever been a part of. For me, when I think back to my college experience I won't think about having to learn the Kreb's cycle or mitochondrial biogenesis frontwards and backwards. It won't be the memory of learning about the developmental life span of a child or the differences between a gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria, because my experience at CSUSM was a lot deeper. College for me was about forming lifetime relationships with my teammates, roommates and classmates. It was about getting my ideas challenged by my classmates Mary Green with her personal cheering squad showing the love. but inspired by the sharing of each one of their passions and goals for the future. It was about gaining wisdom from professors like Dr. Laura and coaches like Ron Pulvers and also being reassured that they truly believe in you. It was that high you get after winning a championship game, but the feeling you get when you lose a game and can look up at your teammates and still say to yourself, "Wow, I am blessed." It's about * realizing how much you miss the little things about home and finally appreciating everything your parents have given and taught you. It's about going through an ACL/MCL knee injury, learning the true meaning of patience and realizing there's more to life than just soccer. Not to mention, the indescribable feeling you get when stepping foot on the soccer field for thefirsttime after 10 months of continuous rehab. I think it is safe to say college for me was about finding myself. As I embark on the next part of my journey and attend graduate school at Johns Hopkins next fall, I will keep a little bit of CSUSM near to my heart. I am forever grateful for the lessons, the "successes, the fails and the people that surrounded me at CSUSM, for I wouldn't be where I am today without them. I will say at the beginning, CSUSM was not my first choice. However after my first semester here as a junior changed my opinion. My first class was Chlcano Theater and I had the pleasure of meeting an admirable and strong woman,. Yeni Orozco Towver, who became my best friend in that class. With other future classes, I got the opportunity to meet other extraordinary people: Brittany Rose Tribulski, Yohita Reyes, Juan Puentes, David Flores and Alex Contreras, to name a few. However, my best friend at the university is Jesslyn Lopez, who has been by my side since the beginning of our undergraduate study at MSJC. I thank her for helping me in both fields: academic and social. One of the most outstanding things about CSUSM is the faculty within the department of my studies: Spanish. Each faculty member has not only been an instructor in the academic field but also an instructor of life. To this I say my thanks: Professor Shuh: Thank you for making me a better writer in Spanish and helping with other writing projects in different Spanish classes. Professor Rolle: Even though I did not have a class with you, I say thanks for your advice of the publish- Photo courtesy of Kyle Coday. ing field and your encouragement to be a writer. Professor Ramos: Thank you for teaching me the art of translation and thank you for encouraging me to be a better leader as a VP in the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society. Professor Hughes: Thank you for teaching me the different aspects of linguistics within the Spanish field and I say thank you ten times fold for the opportunity to travel with you to Guatemala in order to do my independent study on the culture" of the Ixil Maya along with learning the Ixil language with other faculty members, Professor Garcia of the Linguistic department, and other students. Professor Strother: Thank you for being a passionate and caring professor in two of my classes. With your guidance, you helped me regain my passion for creative writing and not only I want to be a teacher, but a writer as well. Last but not least...Professor Martin: You've been my professor in each semester: SPAN 301A, SPAN 315, SPAN 350A, and SPAN 410E. Your wisdom had a profound change on my view of education and the importance of being an educated person. I hope your wisdom, along with the wisdom of my other professors, will guide me in the right path in Spain or Latin America because the most important concept you taught me: ser el individual como el ingenioso cabellero Don Quijote de La Mancha.

B Y SARAH H UGHES N EWS E DITOR Dear Stephanie, Congratulations on graduating with a Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies. I know you'll make a wonderful and enthusiastic elementary school teacher. This role will be in addition to all the other captivating spaces you occupy - fabulous actress, model, dancer, fun friend, girly girl and Disney enthusiast (Well done! You now have as many occupations as Barbie). I've had the honor of being friends with you from Palomar to transferring to CSUSM. It's been fun listening to you talk about good and crazy teachers, trying to make schedules that balance with work, acting classes, passions explored, monologues, headshots, accidentally somehow volunteering to be in other students' videos for their classes and too much homework. I'll never forget our exciting group project on Old Wives Tales in Dr. Metcalfe's fairy tale class, the notes from which have gone to die in my email and Google Drive folders. lt was hilarious seeing your reaction to the never ending Freudian interpretations of the tales Graduation Leis, Prom Corsages and Boutonnières h ana Floral Lei - Island Imports Full Service Florist hailacreafions»c m 76 34-161 .o rarid Avenue,Carisi)a I'D* 9200 d of childhood. Some of those interpretations were clearly invented by people with too much time on their hands. Others destroyed Disney's versions for us - and provided me with a* couple hours entertainment from watching the reaction on your face. I will always treasure our times spent dancing, exercising and lollygagging - sometimes all at once. Thè times spent talking or shopping, or meandering to the Westwood Club. The sleepovers with Grease and Grease II double features and lounging about. The dozens of ridiculous profile pictures and group selfies all over San Diego, often with Melody Parks, Katie Donalson or Mariah Paterson. The times you'd hall out your nail polish collection and insist on fourth of July mani-pedis. The times spent at your parents' house rocking karaoke with Mrs. Borders, dancing like MJ and discovering our inner Wii bowling champions - a sharp contrast to my * real bowling abilities. The hours spent getting ready as a group of giggling girls for a party T HIS with Katie. Our mutual delight in dorky themes and the costumes we delighted in. Congrats on getting engaged to Bryan Wammack. I think you two are as perfect as people can be for each other. You have spent the last four years getting to know each other and I can't wait to be there for the next four years to watch you grow. It has been an adventure getting to know him, with his smiling enthusiasm and bear hugs. It has been sweet to watch Bryan Wammack take care of you this semester. It was always obvious he cared a lot for you, but a man that'll smile as he drives you every Monday and Wednesday, carts around your heavy stuff when you need help and happily get you out of class is pretty cool. I look forward to watching you use your degree to serve your community. Love you girl, Sarah �COBA's scratch golfer Student teaches difficult game Flamethrower reaches end of tunnel B Y JUSTIN D ONNER SPORTS EDITOR B Y JUSTIN D ONNER SPORTS E DITOR Kyle Inman is graduating this year from CSUSM with a degree in Business Administration. A s one of the college's brightest students, he has a great understanding for the world of business, but he also has a great understanding for the game of golf. The game of golf first became a part of Inman's life when his stepfather, a head pro and golf instructor, started giving him lessons at 13 years old. Now a days, Inman is the one giving golf lessons to young kids. According to Inman, one of the biggest things to remember when learning to play golf is to be patient. "Golf is a sport where you have long term goals. You should stick with it in the long term like most longterm-life goals that you set for yourself. Not being patient with your results is why Kyle Inman a lot of people turn away from golf," Inman said. After coaching for many years, Inman says that the number one tip that he constantly gives is that you need to keep your head down. People are often so anxious to see where they hit the ball that they look up before it even goes anywhere. San Marcos Executive is a great golf course to learn on because it is shorter and more forgiving according to Inman. Students are on a budget, and he recommends that you find a cheaper set of clubs online to start with. "You have to figure everyone started at ground zero. Don't feel worried about feeling judged or stupid. It's so easy to get into your own head," Inman said. It is important to figure out if you learn best with watching, listening or doing, but then you just have to get out and do it. In the fall of 2069, Matt Bataska came to CSUSM to play baseball right out of high school. In fact, he was here before the campus even had a baseball field. During Bataska's freshman year, the baseball team had to drive to Escondido High School for practice, at noon, five or six times a week. He reflects on how much of a challenge that was for the team, for most of the team had class before and after practice. Somewhere in-between all of that, they would have to find time to eat. "My sophomore year we got the field on campus and it instantly became one of my favorite places to be in the world. Now the program has its roots grown in and every year the teain gets better. It's amazing to see the vast improvements year after year," Bataska said. Bataska started at CSUSM as a business major, for he had heard that CoB A degrees from CSUSM were highly r egarded.

Take your time growing up if you need, but learn about yourself, find out what makes you tick and what you are passionate for."

Feeling homesick after a year, Gallego returned to California and attended Mira Costa Community College until she was accepted into CSUSM as a junior transfer student. "It wasn't until my senior year that I became more involved. I joined the Kinesiology club and signed up to write for the Cougar Chronicle (whoop!)," Gallego said. "Let me tell you, this was the best decision I ever made. The only thing I can say is I wish I became involved a lot sooner because CSUSM has so many beneficial things to Ms. Gallego's amazing articles will be missed offer." Having written for The Cougar Chronicle as the exclusive writer for the Heart Beat for the fall and spring semester, Rachel appeared as one of the most dependable authors the Chronicle during the 2013 - 2014 academic school year. "Rachel was absolutely great to work with. She was one of the best writers, the first to turn everything in and continuously looking for ways to improve, herself. In fact, I still remember the time slje got on me for not giving her feedback on her article so that she could improve," Sports Editor, Justin Donner, said. Rachel began at CSUSM having declared her major in Child Development. However this quickly changed to nursing and even quicker to Kinesiology. "I had an internship at the hospital working with nurses and that's when I realized it wasn't for me," comments Gallego. "During this time, I was in a nutrition class as an elective and I thought 'I really like this, I could see myself doing big things with this kind of information." "Shout out to Dr. Astorino!!" of the Kinesiology program. Gallego believes Dr. Astorino is "one of the most amazing professors" at CSUSM. Considered one of her most difficult classes, Professor Astorino motivated and taught her how hard work really pays o ff. Rachel now plans to look for a career in Health Education after graduating. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Cal State San Marcos and there is no doubt that she will have a very successful career. "Oh, yes this too..my oh my was there a lot of stairs. I realized I was going to get my butt kicked here..literally," Gallego said. ASI President, Matt Walsh, graduates from CSUSM B Y K ATUN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Matt Walsh has been a fundamental part of CSUSM for the last five years, using his passion and year of presidency to leave behind positive changes on campus. He worked as a Resident Advisor at the UVA for two years and as an assistant in the Dean of Students office. Walsh has participated in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, College Republicans, Summer Bridge and USUAB. He was the representative for all students on the Civility Campaign committee as the program was being created. Walsh has served as the Chief of Staff, the treasurer of College Republicans, Residence Hall Council and is currently the President on the ASI Board of Directors. "I tell people that you re- ceive your degree in the classroom," Walsh said. "You get your education being involved in the community, and that's what I did." Graduating from CSUSM with a degree in Social Sciences and a minor in history, Walsh plans to pursue a career in the political realm. "My goal is to continue to help empower other péople to achieve their goals," he said. "I'm staying local, going back to Escondido. I just want to continue to get involved with political operations and community involvement." Walsh considers the biggest influences of his college career to be the ACE Scholars program for former foster youth and Brian Dawson, the former Director of the dorms. "Brian had the biggest impact on me and a lot of the seniors that have graduated between this year and last year. He was the one that gave me a chance," Walsh said. "He recognized the talents and abilities in people and empowered them, giving them the opportunity to achieve what is great. I don't think my college career would have looked how it is if he hadn't given me the opportunity to be an RA at 19. It opened the door for me and was the floodgate to everything else in my life." Walsh looks forward to his future after CSUSM and is grateful for the time he has spent here. "This is the perfect way to end my college career. I spent four years learning and growing and educating myself about numerous facts of life and leadership, and presidency let me use all of that this year." Leah Korthof: Looking good isn't as easy as you think B Y JUSTIN D ONNER SPORTS E DITOR- Leah Korthof, a graduating marketing major from the College of Business at CSUSM, has built herself quite the resume. Her passion is rooted in fashion, and it's something she got seriously involved in at an early age. In high school Korthof opened her own clpthing boutique in Fresno, California. It wás in this process that she learned what goes on behind the scenes in the world of fashion. She would travel to the Los Angeles fashion district with her boyfriend, now fiancé, to explore skyscrapers filled with fashion wholesalers. "Hey I'm not going to lie. Some of the best cardio I've ever done has been carrying huge loads of wholesale clothing through Downtown LA. Yes, I made my boyfriend carry a lot, but we are talking about a lot of clothes here," Korthof said. Korthof transferred to CSUSM as a junior, and did her best to manage her business from long distance.

He recalls his most memorable accomplishment while on ASI to be his lobbying days in Sacramento. The California State Student Association (CSS A) coordinates the California Higher Education Student Summit, which teaches students how and what to lobby, and how to be effective. "My biggest accomplish,ment was when legislators and their staff talked to CSS A directly and said the delegation from San Marcos was one of the absolute best delegations they' ve ever had," Silverstein said. "So to know that my students, that I got to take and train with me, the five us, went in there, not only were dressed to impress but also represented the CSU and San Marcos and were able to talk about why its important that we fund higher education and that they actually listened." One of his favorite memories while at CSUSM is being involved with starting Sigma Chi and becoming the founding President. He also loves seeing the impact that Sigma Chi has made in the community. Silverstein's advice to CSUSM • students would be to never turn down an opportunity and to learn from them. "One opportunity, which was [being] accepted onto Orientation Team, led me into everything I've done on this campus," Silverstein said. "It got me involved in ASI and from there I got involved with study abroad." What he'll miss most about CSUSM is being on a campus community that he has called a home. Being a part of so many different communities, Silverstein believes that once he leaves it will be a surreal moment. One teacher that he credits for having an impact during his time at Cal State San Marcos is Dr. Joanne Peterson. She was his very first college professor ever, teaching GEL 101. She told everyone in the class that 25 percent of the class would not make it past the first year and that of the remaining number, only 50 percent would make it to graduation. Silverstein explains that Dr. Peterson "said the only difference between that number and you, is that you all are going to graduate, because she believed in every one of us and made us feel like we were here to graduate." Everyoiie that he does remember from that class has graduated, he explains, "because we instantly felt a connection with a group or with a person on this campus who believed in us and guided and mentored us." Silverstein's plans for the future include graduate school in the United Kingdom. He has applied to six different schools which include the University of Kent, University of Sheffield, Regents University, Richmond American University, Kingston University and Queen Mary's College. He has already been accepted into two graduate programs [as of our interview]. He plans to get his Masters with a focus in International Relations. seeks to use this to make a difference in his community. While he has had plans to join the military, he is contemplating a career in law enforcement to work for either a police or sheriff department. If people encourage him to, Molina hopes to eventually enter the political realm and become a politician for at least 20 years. "Involvement is the biggest takeaway from CSUSM," Molina said. "It's the experiences within my stay here that really shaped my form of thinking." Molina attributes his love for the campus to many of the people that he met while working with countless student orgs. "I'm going to miss all of the ASI staff, especially Robert [Aiello-Hauser] and Rodger [D'Andreas]. I will miss SLL, everyone from Josh to Dr. T to Floyd [Lai]. I will miss my fraternity adviser Dan Shaver and Jennie Goldman. From Poli Sci, I will miss Professor Cyrus Masroori, Professor Beavers and Professor Chavez Metoyer." Molina advises freshmen to get involved as soon as possible at CSUSM and to make the most of their time on campus. "Stay on your grades. Stay involved and take out your headphones. Say hello to somebody. Meet a person today." Peer Mentoring and has sat on various committees. He plans to take a break from school for a while before he goes into a masters program. Afterwards, Long plans on either working with nonprofits for mental health and therapy or with an off-site branch of an organization that works with persons dealing with eating disorders. While he is excited for graduation, Long is nervous to meet new peo-. pie and to leave the comfort that CSUSM has given him, Evan Long especially the LGBTQA* Pride Center. ates or leaves, the space think the entire energy of the "Whenever anyone gradu- changes," Long said. "So I [Pride] Center changes every semester. I'm going to miss that comfort and consistency." Long encourages students to find their niche on campus as soon as possible to make their CSUSM experience even better. "I would say anyone that's feeling uncomfortable at Cal State, there's always opportunity to get involved and make friends," Long said. "For transfer students, there's a huge population of them that think they only want to be here a couple years. Me getting involved a little later, I finally realized that there's a lot of people, things and ideas to work with. You only have so much time here that at the end of it, you won't feel like it's enough." Arthur Silverstein mlenior Profile HH^HI ifillll Eliasar "Biggie" Molina reflects on campus involvement involved with the Cross-Cultural Center, Black Student Union; 'M.E:Ch.A., College Republicans, College Democrats and the Civility Campaign. "Being involved has helped me be a little more communication effective and result seeking. It's opened my eyes to a lot of social injustices but reminded me to always fight for the justice of things," Molina said. "Working with student orgs, has kept me well involved and busy, but it has been overwhelming at times because sometimes I forgot I was here for school."

Othoniel Figueroa NAK X Chapter Founding Father #5 Senior Profile Candace Watts B YNOELLE FRIEDBERG SENIOR STAFF W RITER Candace Watts has attended CSUSM for the last four years and is graduating this semester with a degree in sociology and a minor in Spanish. She has been a leader in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship for the last two years and helped start Black Campus Ministries at Cal State San Marcos. Whenever you see Candace around campus her contagious smile is always there to greet you. Whether it's at her job on campus with food services, in class, or at InterVarsity, everywhere she goes she brightens the days of those around her. She says that being a part of the InterVarsity community has empowered her to reach out to those around her, and it has made her aware that her faith can't be hidden. She is always inviting people from her class and from work to come and check out InterVarsity because she says it's not a church, it's a bunch of people getting together as a family. Candace's advice for anyone who is trying to stay on track with their faith while in college is to get involved in a community. She also encourages people to take risks in their faith and to step out into roles of leadership because that is something other people have empowered her to do and she has been so blessed by those experiences. "Faith is hard when mitment and drive are the main components to run an organization and any event that we hold as a chapter.

A o n has permanently become part of my heart and soul. As cheesy as it sounds, I don't think I would have conquered senioritis and the constant stress of upcoming graduation without my sorority sisters. AOII has not only given me many opportunities to grow as a woman, but also it has given me lifelong friendships that will continue to help me grow and succeed in life. Because of AOII I know I'll always have a strong support system through the good and the bad no matter how long it's been since I've spoken to my sisters. It's true when they say you find your best friends through your sorority. One of my favorite memories was probably the moment when I finally found out that Marley Small was my "big sis." She successfully made me cry on the day of reveal because she knew she had tricked me into thinking someone else had taken her place. She was my first choice since day one and I'm so lucky to not only call this girl my sister, but also my best friend. I don't know where I would be without my big and I'm so excited we get to graduate together and I get to start this crazy journey called life with my big by my side. To all of my sisters, AOII and Panhellenic alike, my words of advice are don't take your sisters for granted - do things together, help each other, talk on a regular basis, don't stay mad at each other, love each other. My heart breaks leaving my sisters behind and the goodbyes will be the worst, but how lucky I aril to have known so many people who are so hard to say goodbye to. you're isolated from the body of Christ. We definitely learn from other's experiences," Candace said. "Putting yourself in places where you feel unqualified stretches your faith. God touches people in different ways, but everyone has a story." When Candace was a freshman she had no idea what she wanted to major in, bujt after taking a sociology class she fell in love with it. "Sociology looks at the big picture of how people's environments influence them, not just their biology or their personality," Candace said. "It's interesting that people can try to solve complex social problems by looking at how a person's place in society shapes their experiences." After, graduation she first wants to get work experience to figure out what area she's interested in and then wants to get a master's in social work. She wants to be a part of providing social services to people who need help. "With my internship with North County Lifeline, I'm learning that there are many free resources that can change people's lives," Candace said. Keep up the good work!

Audiences cheered and were motivated to dance in their seats as CSUSM students presented their semester of hard work creating hip hop, modern, improvisation, ballet, jazz, etc. that combined reading, literature, writing, music and visual aesthetics from other artistic disciplines created from various students on campus. With the help of Professor Sandra Doller's Literature and Writing students, students from very different fields of study were brought together to invent stories that could be told through text and visually. The result: a dramatic, humorous, yet tantalizing presentation of com- Photo by Anne Hall. Cierra Potts performing Moving Forward as a solo dance accompanied by poetry reading. billed art forms that focused on both sight and sound. "The dances are always different in reflection of the choreographers. In this case, the students who are creating the work," Dr. Schaffman said, as thefinalperformance was being revealed. Like promised, the new Choreography Workshop course that was offered for the first time this spring, delivered a one of a kind performance that reinvented Anne Teresa De Keeresmaeker's presentation of RE: Rosas! The fABULEUS Rosas Remix. The dance department took full advantage of Keeresmaeker's challenge to recreate her choreographic work and developed a strong and moving creation that focuses on personal growth and observation. The recording of this creation can be seen with the more than 200 videos created from all over the world in response to the challenge. More information for this movement can be found at http://www.rosasdanstrosas .be/en-home/. What a way to end the semester; let alone a college career. Various graduating seniors helped to create and present this performance. Among them are Yessette Navarrete, Maria Apudaca, Rhiannon Jeglin and Kenia Vargas. All of which have departing remarks for being a part of the dance commu- nity at CSUSM: "I'm sad that I have to go because I really enjoy doing the dance shows. This show is my third year doing it. This is my final show and I am really going to miss it. I've worked a lot with Karen and she has been my dance instructor, I guess you could say, and I've learned a lot from her and she's helped to make me aware of things I didn't even know about my own body. I would like to say thank you to her for giving me the opportunity to express myself through this medium and allowing me to make my ideas come alive. For always supporting everything and just never rejecting an idea," graduating Visual and Performing Arts major, Yessette Navarrete, said. "I am very excited for this performance. It's my first time performing and it's like the icing on the cake for me graduating and having this chance. Karen... it's so amazing to work with her. She just helps you to flow with your own movements and flow as your own person without having to invade your style. She just develops you and just lets you know how great you're doing while letting you know how you can fix things here and there. It's an amazing experience working with her," a performer in many of the routines created through the DNCE 390 Choreography Workshop class, Maria Apudaca, said. "I'm excited for all that is to come in life. Everybody should take dance," a very active contributor to dance at CSUSM, Rhiannon Jeglin, said. "I've been participating in dance classes and performances for three years. It has taken me to levels that I didn't know that my body could go and I'm feeling relieved and grateful that I'm actually graduating. Dance * has helped me to be more committed to my work," Human Development major, Kenia Vargas, said. Congratulations to the graduates and to the Dance department for an amazing finish. Congratulations CSUSM Graduates of the 2013-2014 School Year Rainbow Recognition at CSUSM Cipriano Vargas says goodbye to CSUSM Awards and history of Lavender Graduation B Y SARAH H UGHES & K ATUN SWEENEY NEWS EDITOR & E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Lavender Graduation spotlights accomplishments of lesbian, gay, transgender or intersex, questioning or queer and ally (LGBTQA ) students who are graduating at many universities. In tracing the origins of Lavender, a nation-spanning story is told. Different locals celebrate the graduation and contributions of their LGBTQA campus communities in their own unique way. "LavGrad" as Lavender Graduation is colloquially called, is a celebration within a school's Pride community or LGBT center. It is often open to friends, family, interested students and supporters called "allies." It celebrates accomplishments of LGBTQA students in a more intimate setting than an official v graduation. According to LGBT Terms and Definitions, a webpage put up by the University of Michigan, "An ally is a person who is a member of the dominant group who works to end oppression in his or her own personal and professional life by supporting and advocating with the oppressed population." The University of Michigan's list also has 19 other definitions "commonly used in American English" and notes that it is polite to respect others' "desired selfidentifications" by utilizing their preferred pronoun and "never assume another person's identity based on that person's appearance." LGBTQA or LGBT is typically added to organization names to indicate an effort to include everyone, as opposed to just one group. In many cases, "allies" are heterosexual, the defining note is that they support the LGBTQA community without judging what a person's sexual preference is. The CSUSM Pride Center has their own version of Lavender Graduation called "Rainbow Recognition." It is a special night to acknowledge graduates who have been involved with the Pride Center. Taking place at 5:30 p m. on Friday, May 2 at the McMahan House, where members of various departments and student orgs, came together to celebrate graduating seniors. Attendees included Interim Associate Dean, Greg Toya, Associate Director of Multicultural Programs, Floyd Lai and ASI Executive Director, Rodger D'Andreas. President Karen Haynes gave a speech congratulating the graduates and discuss- ing the demographics of the class of 2014 as a whole. It was followed by dinner and then an inspirational speech by Arthur Silverstein HI, the very first Rainbow Recognition Student Speaker. Interim Assistant Dean of Students, Jennie Ruiz, presented the graduation tassels and cords to seniors that have been active supporters and participants of the LGBTQA Pride Center. The ceremony honored LGBTQA Pride Center employee Evan Long, Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Mike McKinney and Gender Equity Center employee Eliasar "Biggie" Molina. It also honored Pride Center supporter Alyse Prichard, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Arthur Silverstein HI, CSU Board of Trustees member Cipriano Vargas and former Pride Center employee Brandon Torres. The final award of the night, the Stonewall Catalyst For Change Award, was presented by ASI Community Center Director Robert Aiello-Hauser, Coordinator of Fraternity & Sorority Life, Nicki Croly and Jennie Ruiz. It was presented to Arthur Silverstein HI in recognition of his contributions for positive change for LGBTQA individuals and and communities. B Y N ADA SEWIDAN STAFF W RITER As CSUSM student and ASI Vice President of Operations Cipriano Vargas gets ready to graduate and move on to the next step of his life, he muses over the past couple of years at CSUSM. Vargas has achieved numerous goals throughout his career at CSUSM including serving on the ASI Board of Directors for three consecutive years. He explained that classes, internship opportunities, the mentorships from faculty and staff and leadership involvement have all given him a well-rounded framework for the real world. "I have had the opportunity of mentoring many students, I see their growth and development," Vargas said. "Having a mentor makes a huge difference and I am proud t a see my fellow student leaders continuing this work of mentorship." The years he spent atCSUSM have produced numerous memories for Vargas; however, his favorite memory happened while serving on ASI. During an ASI meeting in his first year on the Board of Directors one particular event stood out the most. It was a heated meeting in which everyone present had differing opinions but afterwards the whole board went to grab dinner. Vargas conveyed that it didn't matter what their differences were as long as they came together at the end to serve their purpose—the student body. "At the end of the day we hope to do what is best for the students and put ideologies aside and be able to come together as a family," said Vargas. Vargas explained that his biggest accomplishment while serving on ASI was being able to register as many as 1,600 students to vote. Along with ASI Board of Directors, Vargas supported Proposition 30 and was able to stop CSU budget cuts. "I hope that other students are inspired to get more involved on campus because of the things we are accomplishing as student leaders," Vargas said. Cipriano is graduating with a Sociology degree and a double minor in Women Studies and Spanish. After graduation, Vargas will be joining Teach for America as a corp member in San Antonio, Texas for the next 2 years. "I will be teaching kindergartners with a focus on a dual immersion bilingual program," explained Vargas. Afterwards he will be applying for a joint program to get his Master's in Education . "I truly believe that education can be transformative and my journey at CSUSM is a story of transformation through experiences,"• Vargas said. "As I get ready to go into 'real world', I hope to use my knowledge as a sociologist and a scholar to be an agent of social change." Vargas advises CSUSM students to not be afraid to fail. "Sometimes [failing] is the best thing that can happen," Vargas said. "As an individual I have learned a lot from my own failures as a student leader and these experiences have helped me become a better person." �THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 7 ,2014 014 CHABSS Dean fs Award Recipient Joseph "Joef* Sehtmtt (PSYQ 201t Graduate Dean Award Recipient ...and to the 1215 s graduates!

Read t wo articles about how these issues on campus may not be isolated. ^¡ÉdnesÂ" MÈOT^ 20Î3 —mmm- This summer, construction will begin for a new Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) building to be completed by September 2014 and opened by January 2015. When completed, the 20,000-square-foot facility will reside on-campus across the street from student housing to provide easier access to residential students. Currently, CSUSM is leasing an off-campus space for SHCS, which is located at the PPH building across Twin Oaks Valley road. The building is estimated to cost a total of $10 million, which is being paid for by Student Facility Fees. The building was first presented to the Board of Trustees and approved in November 2012. SHCS currently offers students basic medical services to students for colds, headache, flu, breast exams, HTV testing, immunizations, pregnancy testing, biopsy, cryotheraphy, physical exams, etc. Students also have access to counselors to help them cope with academic and medical concerns, provided by a pre-paid fee "of $67 per semester, included in tuition and fees. SHCS also provides Family PACT, a program aimed in offering family planning services and information regarding reproductive health to low-income students with or without thenown private medical insurance. "We look forward to the SHCS Building being in the heart of the campus, with the new location being across the street from student housing, the Clarke and the new University Student Union," Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President for Communications, said. "This will give easier service access for our residential students, easier opportunities for collaborations with campus units, and will allow for more visible outreach activities." The proposed plans show interesting and creative architectural designs. "An interesting design feature will be the labyrinth garden, which will be on the north side .of the building. This will be an awesome, contemplative area for the campus community. There will also be a Zen garden near the outside elevator," said Baur. The building will hold examination rooms, medical offices and counseling spaces, along with a Health and Wellness program. With an accessible location (located near Parking Structure one) students are able to utilize health programs offered by the SHCS as well as keep their personal health updated.

One day Reyna came to class in tears and told me she w^s leaving school. She was having personal troubles and the stress was becoming difficult to manage.

Expectancy to graduation may take longer due to lack of course availability as unit caps will continue. When implementing the fee, the state will have no say in what the money is spent on and how much of it can be used in specific areas. The money will be managed entirely at a local level. Students will have more control of the use of the funds and those funds cannot be-taken away. As students have stated that the fee is too high, legislation has chosen to consider that opinion and reduced the fee by $100. Now, the fee will be spread out over a longer period of time, which is four years rather than two. Considering fiscal changes in economic cost and spending, after the fee has been approved and implemented, the fee will likely go up in future years, but not without legislation going through this process of informing students again and re-electing how the issue will be managed. Based on student election, the money from the Student Success Fee will go towards more courses, support of the academia, student life, and expanding the library. -When asked if the legislation-will have final say in how the money is used if the fee is implemented, Dr. Graham Oberem, Interim Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs said, "There is a strong likelihood that the presidential decision will not go drastically against the commit- HE tees favor." The CSUSM president will remain in control of final decisions. Student recommendations will be processed through proposals and considered by a Student Fee Advisory Committee. This committee comprised of four students, three administration/faculty and staff will represent future allocations across the categories that will be recommended annually. Associated accountability for the funds cannot be taken away. There will be an annual report of how the funds are used which will be made available for public information. The main consideration of the need for the fee is the return on investment (ROI). These funds would help to strengthen the future value of the degrees earned, secure the post-college future of the students here, and preserve the quality of the education offered at CSUSM. Also, improving and expanding the quality of education offered on campus since budget cuts and changes over the last decade alone have drastically altered the opportunities and privileges that were once offered to students and teachers alike. The advisory committee will continue to relay the information that has been collected from the open forums and polls. President Haynes will have the final decision as to what to pass on to the Chancellor of the CSU, who has the final say on the Student-Success Fee implementation. That is where the final decision lies. COUGARQ|CHRONl layout designer needed!

For her commitment to this campus, social justice and in creating a haven in her presence by being inclusive and accepting at CSUSM, Juarez is receiving the Cougar Chronicle's first Graduate Honor. When she arrived to CSUSM, Juarez promised herself that she would get involved and since then, her involvement on campus has extended to make a difference. Juarez describes her experience on campus as having not always been safe, stating "identifying as a lesbian and looking androgynous play a huge part in that. But I have found solidarity, community and friendship here and those factors have made being a student on this campus a pleasure." Juarez's involvement on campus began her freshman year when she began spending time in the LGBTQA Pride Center. By spending her free time in the center, Juarez found a place to be comfortable on camp§$f)j . r ' The Pride Center gave me a home away from home early on in my career at CSUSM," Juarez said. "I met a lot of incredible people who I shared all kinds of experiences with. We all pushed each other to get involved, and the way that that manifested itself in me was running to be president for the LGBTQA Club. Juarez won and held the position of president for two years and chose to use her power to influence change when the controversial newspaper, "The Koala" was on campus. It also gave her the courage to run for ASI's Board of Directors. "When the Koala came out, I wondered why a larger student voice hadn't condemned it. I went to an ASI Board of Directors meeting and just thought to myself 'Why doesn't anybody sitting around this table look like me?' As a lesbian, I 'm used to not feeling represented in the greater government, but to not even have lesbian students present in that room made me uneasy," Juarez said. Juarez currently is, and has been, serving on the Board of Directors for two years and was first the Representative for the College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral and Social Sciences, and is now Vice President of Operations which has given her several opportunities on-and-off campus that have lead to bigger things. "I had the opportunity to go to the Panetta Institue Leadership Seminar and a meeting for the California State Student Association. That was the first time I heard about the Speaker position for the Multicultural Caucus, and decided that I would run. I've been in that position for almost a year now, and I've had the opportunity to author resolutions that are leading to some important /changes." Juarez said. Juarez's experience while working with ASI has allowed her to enjoy college while also allowing her to express her voice to make changes on the CSUSM campus. "ASI has shaped many facets of my college experience. I have had the opportunity to meet students, learn their stories, and enact policies that can improve their experiences on our campus. What could be better than that? " Juarez has received several recognitions for her work, with nominations for the 2013 Cou- ABOVE: Audrey Juarez (left) with Mrs. Sylvia Panetta, receiving her certificate of completion of the Panetta Institute of Public Policy Leadership Seminar in summer 2012.

"It has been an honor to be nominated for all of these awards, but the satisfaction of knowing that the resolutions I've, passed this year through our Board of Directors, and the CSSA Board of Directors, concerning gender inclusion and sexual assault prevention and advocacy can improve the lives of students are better than any award I could ever be nominated for, or receive," Juarez said. Not many students can say they are leaving behind a massive impact on our CSUSM community but for Juarez, she hopes to be remembered for giving back and creating more for the university. "Legacy. Sometimes I wonder what that really means or what it really looks like. But if I had to say what I want to be remembered for, I want to be remembered as someone who built bridges for groups that would not otherwise work together. I want to be remembered as someone who saw that our institution could better serve all students," said Juarez. "I want to be remembered as a woman who loved her campus enough to call it to a higher standard. I sincerely hope that people who also prioritize these principles will servé in leadership positions at CSUSM. CSUSM has given me much more than I could ever give back."-. After graduation, Juarez plans to move to Washington D.C. and search for an internship or job where she can put her knowledge on education and social justice to good use. In the fall, she plans to apply for law school with even bigger plans for her future. "My future dream is to serve my country as President of the United States of America. I know that sounds a little silly, but its true. CSUSM has given me the desire to serve the public. I would say that CSUSM has shaped who I am as a young woman, and who I intend on being moving forward in my life." Congratulations to Audrey Juarez, a true leader of CSU San Marcos. Not many students on campus can say they have made the impact and impression to student community the way Audrey has and for this, she deserves this award. �N ews Editor: Melissa Martinez cougarchron.news@gmail.com U S U F ROM 1 Members of Standing Together as oNe Dream (STAND) challenging stereotypes. Photo courtesy of STAND. A B 5 4 0 F ROM I ico until her mother became ill and passed away. Reyna was nine at the time of her mother's death. The four sisters have had to take care of each other since then, and the word sister has taken on a stronger meaning. Reyna prefers to be speaking English, she sees it as her primary language. "I just want to be accepted and feel like everyone else. I see myself as being independent and more Americanized with U.S. c ulture.I'm more familiar with U.S. history than I am Mexican history,"' Reyna said. "Yet I don't understand why there is the celebration of Cinco de Mayo here in the U.S., withfthe exception of selling and drinking beer. I guess I 'm caught up in the middle of who I am Mexican or American." Due to the poverty level of her family she has no baby pictures. She has had to maintain at least two jobs for the past six years to pay for college. She sees herself as Mexican-American. Life for Reyna* before AB540 was cautious and quiet. Her not speaking out in class was a means of not standing out. "Undocumented means I have a label. The color of green on the side of a Border Patrol car meant I avoided driving and avoided different streets. I didn't have to read the logo on the side of the Border Patrol vehicle, it was understood what it meant to me and my family. Life was a prison for me and I was very secretive with whom I shared my legal status with." "The DREAM Act is common-sense legislation drafted by both Republicans and Democrats that would give students who grew up in the United States a chance to contribute to our country's well-being by serving in the U.S. armed forces or pursuing a higher education. It's good for our economy, our security, and our nation," said White House Representative Luis Miranda, on the White House blog. "That's why the DREAM Act has long enjoyed bipartisan support. It's limited, targeted legislation that will allow only the best and brightest young people to earn their legal status after arigorousand lengthy process, and applies to those brought to the United States as minors through no fault of their own by their parents, and who know no other home." Reyna shared a high school story of how a male student had embarrassed her friend by writing about her chest size in a yearbook. Reyna was upset and decided to take her friend to the principal's office and find recourse in the lack of a thought by the male student. The principal asked Reyna, what she felt was just for what the male had done. Reyna told him he should publicly apologized for what he did and purchase a year book for her friend. The principal agreed and an Avid teacher who witnessed Reyna's actions took Reyna aside, and told her how impressed he was in her coming forward for a fellow student . He also told her how she could do anything in her life and she should consider law school in college. This planted a seed. Reyna was caught off guard, it was the first time she remembers being given a compliment and encouragement for going college. Once in college, she later questioned, "If I earned a degree, could I do anything with it? After AB5401 have a choice and can go places. I see a future where I can fight injustice and help people. I have a lot of gratitude towards the United States and want to give back to the community. I felt as if people would look at me as being less than them. That's not true, legal status doesn't define who I am. Even when I may have barriers in place, I see immigration as an obstacle that I can overcome." Financial Aid and Scholarship Director ^ Vonda Garcia said, "The University had approximately 90 applicants this semester, for which 56 students were awarded a max of $2736 all of which goes towards tuition fees for this spring." In talking to students on campus affected by AB540, they shared with me the challenges from bias they've experienced with students in thé classroom, as well as challenges met with the university. "A small group of AB540 students, who applied for the CA Dream Act, were not able to attend school this semester as they thought they were going to receive some sort of financial aid, but didn't meet the qualifications," Barraza said. Barraza holds hope that the process to access higher education will get easier for undocumented students. "This was a difficult process for many of us. We had to make ourselves be known to the campus administration to explain all the financial barriers, we face because of our undocumented status and had to keep persisting to obtain support," Barraza said. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan stated on the White House Blog that passing the DREAM Act "will allow these young people to See you in fall of 2013 Have a great summer! live up to their fullest potential and contribute to the economic growth of oui country. In particular, the DREAM Act will play an important part in the nation's efforts to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020, something vital for America to remain competitive in today's global economy." Life has changed dramatically for Reyna with the implementation of AB540. She told me about her goals of possibly being an attorney, or maybe working in a non-profit with youth. As students go through AB540 they get their social, security card, can obtain a California Driver's License, and work permit. Once they complete the process, a path is set for citizenship and they go through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as defined under Homeland Security. As the legislation becomes a reality, I can't help but go back to our shared meets at the Starbucks on campus. I remember Reyna calling me after she was first able to get her driver's license last September, she has also called me after every meeting with her attorney in reference to her AB540 status. I 've met someone I consider to be a lifelong friend. In the Latino community as well as many other cultures, breaking bread with someone is symbolic of respect. It ties ourselves to earth, which we may share with a complete stranger, or with family and friends. In our case it's a simple brownie once a week that bound us in friendship. For more information reference the DREAM ACT and AB540 you can go to whitehouse .gov/blog/2010/12/01/ get-facts-dream-act University Student Union shall be an open and welcoming center of activity for the campus now and in the future. The University needs a 'living room' and the USU will be the campus community center for socialization, casual interaction and scheduled meetings, food and beverage service, programmed activities, student organizations and social justice centers." The USU will also be the home of four food components. Sodexo recently signed a 20-year contract with the university to take over camps catering as well as the Starbucks, located in Kellogg Library. In the union, there will be a Jazzman's Cafe & Bakery with a coffee-house style atmosphere located in the east pavilion, a large convenient store and a Jamba Juice smoothie station. Along with a Panda Express located in the USU, there will be three Sodexo-brand food distributions, each of different taste. The first is World of Wings Cafe, an American-grill type, a SubConnections, much like Subway, and Wholly Habaneros which is similar to Chipotle and Baja Fresh. Sodexo plans to provide optional meal-plans for students that can be used at each food vendor. The school values sustainability and ensuring a economically healthy aspect of building activity for the USU. One such feature is the green roof that will sit on the second-floor of the 90,000-square-foot ballroom. The green roof will provide shade and prevent the ballroom from getting too hot in the summer and avoid running the air conditioner. Since half of the roof is green, the other half will provide seating and dining places for students to hang out, eat, study or watch a program from afar. There will also be photovoltaic panels on the roof to capture energy from the sun and reduce the cost of operating the building. The building will be a LEED Gold Building, said Sara Quinn, Director of The Clarke and University Student Union, which is the second-highest level of sustainability for a building. "Along with sustainability, the USU has many features that aren't found on most campuses; one of which is gender-neutral bathrooms. The bathrooms "are for gender-neutral folks so they don't have to trek all the way across campus to go to the one bathroom in which they feel safe and comfortable. That is a feature that we said is non-negotiable for us," Quinn said. The gender-neutral bathrooms will be throughout the building, on the first and fourth floor as well as next to the social justice centers. "There is also an additional single-stall, gender-neutral restroom with a foot-wash in it for our Muslim students, right next to our spiritual lounge. We tried to make it as multi-purpose as possible," said Quinn. Since The Clarke currently serves as the University Student Union for programming, the USU Advisory Board/Clarke Activities Team will transition from The Clarke to the USU to utilize features of the building such as the amphitheater and pavilion. However, programming at The Clarke will continue, focusing on fitness and recreation. Student positions will also be available once the USU opens. Along with positions in the social justice centers and food distributions, the USU will hire around 100150 students assistants to work. The hours of operation are tentative but will most likely be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with plans to close earlier on Friday and be open on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

The photos , taken during a spring break retreat, were posted on the popular smartphone app, InstaGram as well as Facebook. Since then, the photos went viral through students at CSUSM, sorority members and the rest of Greek life has received scrutiny for displaying racism and sexism at CSUSM. Currently, 33 percent of students at CSUSM are Hispanic or Latino/a. Student Julia Barnes feels that students should converse and discuss the issue, instead of raising scrutiny to Greek life. " I'm not sure when the conversation stopped and the mudslinging began," Barnes said. Co-chair of Standing Together As oNe Dream (STAND), a student immigrant-rights organization, Rodrigo Gonzalez said, "The photos taken by members of Alpha Chi Omega are offensive because they are found- ed in acting like, in this case, a community of people who really exist, that is stereotyped due to prejudice. When a culture is misunderstood and invisible, or only visible in negative portrayals, it is deemed harmless to dress up like them. The photos are offensive because members of Alpha Chi Omega thought it would be funny to perform or play a part which is reinforcing of objectifying and dehumanizing a peoples culture just because it is not/does not adhere to mainstream or normalized standards of beauty, dress, or overall appearance." Megan Koellin, President of Alpha Chi Omega, issued an apology at a meeting held April 30 organized by Latino students. "We apologize from the bottom of our hearts," Koellin said. "It was a mistake and a lack of education on our part." Though the Greek community has been advised not to comment, debate between multiple students and groups of how offensive the photos are h is begun. Student Kharina Miramontes, who identifies as half-Mexican, doesn't find the photos offensive. "I guess it's expected that I take this whole thing really offensively or whatever, but I don't. To me, it's just another stereotype that people use. Nobody complains when people use a 'nerd' theme; the only difference is this is a racial issue and people are easily riled by it," Miramontes said. Debate has been surfacing of whether this incident could have been avoided. "At the same time, though, I think it was stupid of them, the sorority, to do this theme. They should have known better. They're representing not just a sorority, but our school, which is predominantly Latino," Miramontes said. "While it may not offend everyone and may have been all in good fun, they should know that it's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way, and considering that they have to remain somewhat reputable, I 'm pretty shocked they didn't have the forethought to think this one through." The photos also contained "hashtags" supporting racial stereotypes, such as "#TheStrugglelsReal." "Not only are they dismissing the struggle gang members go through as an unaccepted and demon- resentatives suggested that AXO should go unrecognized for a year to reflect on their actions some of the members made to empower their chapter as a whole to prevent further incidents like this from reoccurring. "Otherwise, these types of offenses will keep happening as they have on this campus in the past," Gonzalez said. Latino/a students collectively agreed stating, "We have learned that we cannot prevent these incidents from happening, but what we can do is come together and-make sure that there are policies in place, disciplinary policies are in place, necessary cultural diversity requirements for GE are begun, mandatory social justice trainings are held for departments, student organizations, and Greek life. If we are a campus that prides itself on social justice in our mission and vision, we need to start acting like it, creating effective changes, not just having discussions about it." "Moving forward, even though CSUSM promotes civility and promotes a broad range of diversity, things like this are still able to happen," Green said. "It seems that there is a lack of appreciation ized subculture but also the struggle its community goes through on a day to day basis," Gonzalez said. Resident Advisor and graduating senior Eric Green said, "CSUSM is a campus that prides itself on civility and social justice. Disappointingly, I am seeing the maintenance of these ideals lacking in its Greek community, which has a huge and pertasive influence on campus." Green recognizes the step that student Alma Martinez and the other who reported the photos initially. "I applaud the person who had the courage to step up and call out the organization who allows its members to wear other people's identity as a costume. Had Alma Martinez not done so, then no one else would have," Green said. "Things like this matter and it should not be brushed off like it's trivial. In today's climate, many oppressed minorities are feeling empowered and will not take a blatant display of ignorance and disrespect to their culture and identity go by without raising awareness."

"Students, staff, faculty, and administration will continue to collaborate to institutionalize educational programs and bias response systems to decrease and respond to future bias-related incidents.

B Y BOBBY RIVERA STAFF WRITER Editor's Note: Staff writer Bobby Rivera spoke to 21 people while gathering information for this special report, including current students, staff, faculty, former employees and a few community groups. Knockknock. Who's there? No one of color. The knockknock jokes are rhymes we say as children. Yet in culture, children's rhymes can have undertones of bias and racism. In recent weeks, there have been heated discussions about racism within organizations on campus. Latino students have expressed outrage over two incidents involving photographs — one last month and one five years a go—- where students and administrators were dressed in clothing that some students felt represent negative Latino stereotypes. In April, photographs of members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority (some white and some Latina) dressed as "chollas," the phrase for women who dress in the attire often associated with Latino gang members, showed up on the organization's Facebook page. Around the same time, a 2008 photo resurfaced showing universi- ty President Karen Haynes wearing a sombrero and poncho to a campus "fiesta" party. Both the students and Haynes issued apologies for what they described as cultural insensitivity. . While these may be isolated incidents, there are concerns among some students and faculty on campus that Latino and black students need to be better represented and reflected in the university's faculty. Is there a color line on campus? It's a phrase used by civil rights leaders Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Du Bois to refer to racial divide that prevents blacks from improving on their economic conditions . Three percent of the students on campus are black, which is equal to the number of professors on campus who are black. But 28 percent of CSUSM students are Latino, compared to 13 percent of faculty, according to the 2012 - 20.14 catalog profiles and university information. On her university welcome statement, Haynes said that among the five strategic goals for the university's third decade is to improve "education equity." ' These principles are central to who we are, where we have been, and what we want to be," she said. CSU Board of t rustees student trustee, Cipriano Vargas, said that the plans made for education equity and diversity under former associate vice president of diversity and educational equity Derrick Crawford need to be accomplished. "One of the things we value here at Cal State San Marcos is diversity and while it is a work in progress, we have a long way to go. Not only do we need to broaden the diversity among the faculty but also among the curriculum," Vargas said. In a speech May 1 at CSU Channel Islands, new CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White said that universities should be diverse and inclusive of people of different backgrounds. "Often when you come to a place and you . .. don't look like (the) majority, it doesn't feel as welcoming," White said, adding that Channel Islands has been "purposeful" in reaching out to underrepresented groups. When CSUSM was founded in 1989, there was only one black professor on the faculty, Dr. Charlotte Bell, who was part of the Founder's Circle. Today, the campus still has just one black female tenured faculty member, Dr. Sharon Elise. Professor John Halcon, in the CSUSM college of ed- ucation, said some departments on campus are better than others at implementing diversity. "It has to do with how committed they are to handling diversity," Halcon said. "A gap with African-American faculty, Native American faculty, and Hispanic faculty exists. The solution must come from our leadership, I see no follow through and people held accountable." Many organizations on campus are geared toward civility and diversity. The Office of Community Service Learning, for example, has been forging meaningful and productive community partnerships for the past 20 years. The department serves nonprofits that represent the poor and victims of crime (many of whom are minorities). However, in June, the Service Learning department will be restructured and department director, Dr. Darci Strother, is changing positions. Strother said that the university goals and actual actions conflict and are causing a shift in university policy. "Apparently the university wants to project a different ' face' to the community, one of which polished white people in suits are what the public sees rather than students, many of color, who are strug- This 2008 photo has resurfaced showing President Karen Haynes wearing a sombrero and poncho to a campus "fiesta" party.

Communication and listening are imperative skills needed to serve others and have active involvement in community issues. Understanding the importance of and having a sense of appreciation for diversity is needed. Utilizing skills to effectively work with others in a diverse environment. At CSUSM, this is prevalent in most classes given the abundance of diversity on campus. Taking personal action with a realistic view that the action will produce the desired change. College education promotes not only a sense of independence, but confidence to promote change at all levels. More subjective, harder to quantify benefits of a college degree should be far more important than the financial benefits associated with higher education. Yes, you might be worried about your future post-graduation, just remember that your life will be that much better had you decided against obtaining a diploma.

The CSUSM STEM program aims to inspire that excitement. I t's fair to say that to some degree, all of us are fascinated by science. However, children are often very interested participants in courses that involve science. Fortunately, a collection of students and teachers have come together to form STEM, a program that offers hands-on science education to kids in schools who cannot make time for it during regular class hours. The STEM Program operates several. times a week at San Marcos Elementary and Twin Oaks Elementary shortly after classes end. The program has around 200 undergraduate students volunteering in total. Dr. Bianca Mothe and the Office of Community Service Learning (OCSL) founded the program two years ago in response to complaints by parents that children were not learning enough science in elementary school classrooms. This was a result of the math and language-oriented legislation put forth by No Child Left Behind in , B Y KATLIN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR Photo courtesy of the CSUSM STEM website. 2002. Mothe initially implemented the program at Twin Oaks Elementary, with most of the workf6rce consisting of volunteers from CSUSM that were primarily majoring in science and teaching. Colleen Lopez, one of the program coordinators, is incredibly enthusiastic about its effects, which she notes goes far beyond just education. "We're not looking for them to suddenly ace all their tests. We're just trying to inspire them to want to enjoy it and realize that science isn't so s cary" Lopez said. ¿"Down the road, we may have the next Einstein because in class they had an explosion. It's mainly just to inspire these kids to view science in a positive manner." Lopez's efforts seem to be successful; one classroom in particular was crowded with young students marveling at the smoke coming off of dry ice, while another classroom saw its students staring at a model of the human heart. But the people who truly make the program work are the students who become involved in it and volunteer their time. Mothe has been able to recruit over 100 students from STEM Programs at CSUSM. These undergrads then worked together to form 54 different lesson plans to be presented in six weeks. During this time, they will teach over 780 students at the two schools many scientific, topics including biology, crystallography and physics. For the future, the people at the program are ambitious. In the short term, the hope is that, with the assistance of grants from philanthropic organizations, the program can expand to other schools, and hopefully branch out to other subjects. In the meantime, continued assistance from students on campus interested in science and teaching is always welcome. ASPs finals detox event: Students t o get free study materials B Y RYAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER * It is 9 a.m. on Monday, there is a paper due, then an online test at noon, then another paper due at 2:30 p.m., than two papers due tomorrow. Yes, one of the most stressful times of the year is upon us once again, and ASI has come to help relieve some of the nerves. In this time of anxiety and Students, staff and faculty gather to celebrate on campus tension over the quickly approaching finals, ASI is holding á "Finals Detox" event at the beginning of May. The purpose is to ease tensions students may feel about the end of the semester by providing them with everything they may need for finals, including scantrons, booklets and pencils. The event is intended to give students a sense of relaxation by making them feel prepared, and it comes at the right time. At the end of the last week before finals, students have enough on their mind. Since they are already worrying about the content of their tests and their grades, they are too busy to worry about the basic necessities they need to simply take the test. "It's a super easy going and straightforward event," Brittany Arnold, Finals Detox Coordinator, said. The hope is that with the tools they need to effectively take their tests, combined with other students wishing them good luck, students will feel a little more prepared to end their year on a good note. ASI hopes that by providing these materials, finals week will be as stress-free as possible. Finals Detox will be during U-Hour on Thursday, May 9 , in front of Kellogg Library. Avid campus members dedicated to CSUSM's Civility Campaign were honored this past week at their annual end-of-the-year dinner. The Civility & Exchange Celebration, which took place on April 30, presented awards to the students, staff and faculty members that embody the Campaign's founding principles of care, respect and empathy. The ceremony opened with a welcome by Civility and Exchange Outreach Specialist Sammi Carr, followed by student-made films about Civility's purpose and presentations by key members o f, and partners with, the Campaign. Carr highlighted the fact that the National Conflict Resolution Center has been a crucial contributor to the success of Civility on campus, excitement radiating from both parties on the partnership that has emerged from their work on campus this year. "It's nothing short of remarkable how you're changing this campus. We're facing challenges in all aspects of our lives, and w e've enjoyed working with you to address issues of incivility," President of the National Conflict Resolution Center, Steve Dinkin, said. Following presentations by Dinkin and Interim Vice President Lorena Meza, awards were presented by Marley Small, University Student Union Advisory Board Representative, and Floyd Lai, Associate Director of Multicultural Programs, to outstanding members of Civility. "These actions occur every day, we just don't always have the time to recognize them. That's why it's so important that we take the time to keep nominating and recognizing these people. We need to continue pursuing and promoting Civility on campus," Lai said. Throughout the year, students, staff and faculty nominated outstanding community members, or Civility Champions, for the possibility of being named Civility ICONS (Initiating Civil Opportunities Now) by the group's review board. Out of more than 50 nominees, Civility selected 26 people to recognize at the Civility & Exchange Celebration as Civility Champions, and named eight people the Civility ICONS f or 2012-2013 . The Civility Champions recognized on Tuesday night were Kyle Azcuna, Katelyn Campbell* Thomas Hagos, Andres Rodriguez, Sherri Soto, Maggie Uribe, Peter Vu, Jennie Goldman, Cheryl Long, Tim Sabatini, Sandra Sabatini, Kyle Duran, Dr. Annette Daoud and Dr. Pamela Kohlbry. The 2012-2013 Civility ICONS were E mli jCapjli, Curtis Bovee, Maya Alvarez, Silverio Haro, Dr. Xuan Santos, Dr, Stephen Tsui and Dr. Karen McGurk. The Civility & Exchange Celebration also honored pivotal Civility members like Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, Marley Small, Matt Walsh, Robert Aiello-Hauser, Lisa Dickinson, Judy Sandmann and Tama Harper. Greg Toya, Interim Associate Dean of Student Life and Leadership, closed the night, expressing optimism and excitement for the upcoming year.

Finishing the academic year with style: Popular Campus Pride W alk and Rainbow Recognition events in review B Y KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR It can be expected that after a month of Gaypril festivities and as the school year draws to a close, the LGBTQA Pride C ento will close in a way worth remembering. During U-hour on April 30, the campus was ablaze with color and voices as the 2nd Annual Pride Walk took place. Supporters, staff, friends, family and even spectators took part in the march across campus to close out the Gaypril festivities. With strong messages such as "Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Homophobia has got to g oi" and " We're here, w e're queer! We're fabulous so d on't f*** with us " it would be surprising if students on campus weren't aware of what was going on. With the march culminating to an empowerment circle in the library plaza, students and staff alike celebrated their voice with words of encouragement and peer recognition. Taking place on the very last day of Gaypril, the students and staff made the message clear that there are people against homophobia in CSUSM and on any campus or public setting. On the evening of May 3, an exclusive event called "The Rainbow Recognition Awards" was hosted at the McMahan House in honor of graduating students that have made positive strides for the LGBTQA community on campus. Alongside the honors bestowed upon the graduates, students and staff were presented with awards for their selfless contributions toward making the school a safer place for all students. Emotions ran high for hosts and recipients alike as all reflected on the work they had done in the past year and further back. Graduates remembered the good times with tear-filled eyes and looked towards the future as advocates for change and transcending tolerance to a level of acceptance for all. A special mention is in or- der for the Relay for Life taking place on the track by the McMahan House. Though scheduling seemed to be a conflict, it is hoped that there were not feelings of competition to be heard. „Remember, students and staff, change starts with us. In the words of Harvey Milk, openly gay political activist in the late 60s and throughout the 70s until his untimely assassination, "All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential." College is a place in which we can realize that potential. And let's face it: w e're all still young, aren't we? mm / ^^ 'ant to be published? Want more active on campus? Want tc a portfolio?

B Y ALEX FRANCO S PORTS E DITOR BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR As much fun as the freedom sounds, sometimes summer break is not that fun without a few things to do here and there. We have all had it: those moments when we find ourselves moaning and groaning about something to do. Well, many of us are adults here. Let's figure something out: 1. Go outside/travel Sometimes the best thing to do is simply get out of the dwelling place and see the #world outside of the door. As fun as it is to be tied to the computer, you could always take the technology outside. It's a start. Go somewhere, gather a few friends, and head to the beach or theme parks. Maybe even a summer shopping spree could be fun. If money is an issue, that is no problem either. Have a homemade picnic in the park, go window-shopping, or troll with friends in public places. It doesn't take that much to have fun while daylight is abound. If the night is your preference, there are utnan Dvtj rM * e eept W many possibilities that exist there as well. 2. Catch up on your favorite entertainment Got Netflix, Hulu, or access to YouTube for a few hours a day? Then you've got yourself a few hours of entertainment. Catch up on those series that you're missing, or pick up on some new ones to occupy your time. If that's not available, pick up a book, comic, or other print entertainment. Hours could be spent in enjoyment with these, and at least if they bore you, you can say you are not where you were a few hours ago. .3. Go hobby hunting Without the heavy pressure of the spring and fall sessions, perhaps the summer would be an ideal time to dive into a worthwhile hobby. With time available and stress reasonably lower, anything will do. And let's be honest, haven't you always wanted to try archery or underwater basket weaving? Maybe you can finally get back on that horse and, well, ride the horse? Or maybe it's just the season to paint the Mona Lisa.. .or at least try. 4. Get a job I know, not the most fun way to spend the summer, but I can honestly say that it is a relieving and reasonably comforting experience to have a bit of extra spending money. Turn the ' or' in "Can I buy this or that?" to a satisfying "and." 5. Be productive For many of us, we still have a few years ahead of us~ in college. Just because we may not bt taking summer sessions or heavy workloads, it doesn't mean we can't try to keep up with learning or anything along those lines. Sometimes taking a personal study time in some interesting subjects can be a delightfully time-consuming opportunity. Maybe you've wanted to learn about mermaid theory or the history of the Loch Ness monster, or even do a bit to learn about the community you live in. Just because i t's summer, it doesn't mean there aren't •any volunteering opportunities around, or that there won't be anyone that is interested in sharing their field of expertise with you for a short while. Opportunities await and it isn't always wise to pass all of them up.

UNIVERSITY, PHOTOGRAPHER Students always need ways to network, make money, and get rid of those textbooks they've used. Now there is an alternative with CSUSM's Cougar List. Cougar Alumni Mario Clay, Brendan Bass and Brandon Baker have created a new website called "Cougar List." Much like Craigslist, this web site is intended to serve the CSUSM community in selling personal items, but it comes with a twist. It also allows users to network with customers and communicate through personal profiles, establishing music playlists that remain on your personal profile and many other f un details that are not often found on sales websites. "It allows students to be able to get access to more affordable textbooks, do exchanging, and share information," Mario Clay, web manager and designer, said. "Every semester students are trying so hard to buy or sell textbooks that are sometimes difficult to get from the student book store because they're limited or the bookstore* hasn't received them yet. Sometimes the items are just way too expensive. Forums, blogs, chat, etc. allows the students to work together within a community platform." The idea for the website started out as an E-commerce class project. Clay and his colleagues had posed the question of what a good student service would be? From there, they established Photo by Anne Hall Cougar List to help organize advertisements for students as they create profiles to host their own listings and be incorporated into a community profile for networking. All of North County has the potential of benefiting from this web sité. Businesses outside of the school that focus sales towards student demographics can advertise and promote their companies. The main focus from the creators of Cougar List is to remain open to promoting student endeavors and providing a pleasant user experience. Currently there are 11 members with user accounts. The marketing and devel- opment of the web page is continuing, and the creators are constantly updating and modernizing the page. The 3.0 version that will eventually be released will feature an updated, sleek appearance and will function more elaborately with social media interaction (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc.), and will continue to grow with shown interest from users. AU that is needed to continue the service is more members creating a profile and providing feedback. When joining the website, the creators have requested that participants contribute $2.00 towards establishing their profile as a means of satisfying startup costs. This small f ee is a one-time charge that will only temporarily exist f or enrollment. Once the site has established enough attention and can function independently there will no longer be a startup f ee. As a promotional consideration, there will be a contest for various prizes in the fall 2013 semester. More information will be provided regarding the contest at a later date. In the meantime, log onto www.cougarlist.ning. com, to create an account and start creating your profile. Share your advertisements and sell your old textbooks from this semester to people you know will need them.

This happens a lot in college. Sometimes it's blatant and obvious, but sometimes it can be traced to a particular professor's bias that he or she might not even be aware of. I 'd even go further and suggest that in a public school system, nearly every time you walk into a classroom, you'll be presented with a different belief system than your own, especially if you're a person of faith. This is not a problem though, but an opportunity. In my experience, this potentially challenging experience needs not to be negative f or people of faith and can even be a blessing in disguise. I have found that being challenged on what you Thank you CSUSM. We really haye something special here. I joined the Catholic Club my freshman year and met the most wonderful people that ended up being my best friends that stuck with me throughout college. From there I decided to branch out and found myself working for the marketing department believe in is not a bad thing if what you believe in is true. The problem that many people of faith experience, is an ignorance of their chosen religion which leaves one unable to answer questions raised by their peers or professors. I 'd say there are two simple answers to this. The first is to seek truth wherever it lies and trust that God is truth and will take care of you, if you trust in Him. The second is to never be afraid to ask why. It has been my experience that faith in God and going to college do not have to contradict one another and that faith and God make sense. I am a Catholic Christian and I 've been challenged more than once on my beliefs, either directly or subtly, in class, at U-hour and throughout my daily life in today's world. I have found however, that my faith in God is true. I 've had to re-analyze some things and even change my own understanding of God, but ultimately the faith I was raised with, had the answers I was looking for all along. So from an incoming freshman to a college graduate, I 'd say that faith and education go hand in hand, as long as^you give them an equal chance, and I encourage you to keep the faith. O PINION at The Clarke. I learned so much there, from the professional staff and my student co-workers alike, that I got to see what tremendous ideas and efforts executed by my peers when given the opportunities. My best chances to learn have been those conversations with professors in the hallways, discussions with my USUAB and ASI friends on the part we get to play in the future legacy and growth of the school, and those 2 a.m. chats with friends about the memories we share and about where the heck w e're going with our futures. I c an't begin to say how amazing an experience I 've had at CSU San Marcos. We are a small close-knit community that is growing and I was glad to be a small part of it. One Price for the Summer!

I felt like I grew so much in those 10 days and the fact that back home in the States my fellow Cougars were going to class, somehow made it even more f un for me. I hope to have more crazy adventures like that in the future.

I would really just want to drive around all summer and attend a Major League Baseball game at all 30 major league team stadiums in one summer with my brothers and some of my closest friends, that is my dream summer." - Sports Editor Alex Franco "My ideal spring break would be to spend it in San Francisco. I traveled there last December and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time there since I was there to conduct an interview at LucasFilms, but we got to see a lot of the city and I fell in love. The atmosphere, the architecture and culture of San Francisco provide a sense of belonging. You feel so small in this huge city, yet you feel as if this is the place where all your dreams might come true and more than anything, you want to try.

This storyline also features another "fall from grace" character, and to prevent possible spoilers, I won't mention who. Finally, there is the storyline and movie we all want to see, and that is the recently released idea from actor Patton Oswalt on a "Parks and Recreation" bit where in an attempt to filibuster a town meeting, he gave his input on an "Episode VII." If you haven't seen it already, his version features a crossover of astronomical proportions, with the combined universes of "Star Wars," "Marvel," and the Greek gods from "Clash of the Titans." I would absolutely love to see this version, but realistically speaking, it is more unlikely than the first storyline I mentioned. But hey, a fanboy can dream.

I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut Mt's like a little sign that says, 'Hey, let's never hang o ut.'" Labels carry baggage, but bumper stickers carry irritating statements that are obviously unnecessary. There are many bumper stickers I find annoying. First is the one that is normally blue and has a bunch of religious symbols that resemble the letters that spell out "Coexist". Aren't we already coexisting? Do they mean we should coexist and get along? Yes, and that's why someone else thought up the sticker of the same religious symbols design that spells out "Tolerance." Other times I come upon an "SDSU Mom" or "USC Mom" and get a peculiar feeling like I pity those sad moms who live their lives through their children's accomplishments. "My son or daughter is a honor student at this or that middle school" is another example. Despite these, there is one that is winner of ultimate smugness.

I 'm writing of course of the 'Not Of This World' stickers. Christians who put these stickers on their cars are reminding you, the sad creature stuck in traffic, that although you both inhabit this small planet and must tolerate each other, they are destined for another world, one much better than the one we both live in now. They believe, to borrow from the Bible, that they are "in the world but not of the world." In their view, making the world better now is a fool's errand and it doesn't matter what happens to the earth because for them, it is only temporary. Needless to say» losing weight in certain areas and gaining it in others is difficult to attain. While stress over looking good for the summer has traditionally been considered a woman-specific issue, men deal with the pressure of toning up as well. The perceived 'need' to develop a flat stomach, six-pack and muscular build is something that continues to force men into the gym as frequently as, if not more often, than women. However, this pressure for both genders to become 'better' looking for one season out of the year is something that takes away from the purpose of being on break: not having to worry. We should not be worried about curving our diets or scheduling more time for the gym just to look more attractive when wearing a bathing suit. There §re much better ways to spend our summer.

CSUSM student shares the basics of creating a web series B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E EDITOR San Diego is filled with little-known restaurants, bars or hangouts that aren't mainstream...yet. It's always fun having a local place that you can bring your Mends or family to. With summer approaching, finding places to eat and enjoy is a must. Kyle Miller, the creator of the YouTube web series "Backyard Adventures," goes around Southern California places and documents his experience for his viewers . Miller sat down with The Cougar Chronicle to explain his process and what it's really like having a web series. Question: What prompt- ed you to start a web series? Answer: What prompted the idea for me to start a web series was my first class that I took here; Chicano Theatre. A lot of my classmates told me that I was really good and I should use my talent. Then I got the idea to do my own travel web series, "Backyard Adventures," and make comedy videos like the "Dating Tips with Kyle Miller." Q: For every webisode, how do you come up with ideas? A: For "Backyard Adventures," it's a bit of a challenge because you have to get per- the advice people would give me. So I wanted to make a comedy about dating advice people have given me. Q: Is there a creative process you go through for every webisode? A: For "Backyard Adventures", I wanted to do something different than other travel series. There are elements of travel hosts I see within me like the dorkiness of Huell Howser. My main goal in "Backyard Adventures" is educate and entertain like in Chicano Theatre. As for the "Datthey are small businesses. In ing Tips," I pick an advice a way I'm helping the com- and start writing: Q: How do you balance munity. As for the "Dating Tips," I found it humorous of the time to do a web series mission from the owner of the restaurant, bar, etc. to film.

S cott Fitzgerald BY BEN CARLSON STAFF WRITER Many aspiring intellectuals, especially those attending this university, love to use the cliché phrase "the book was way better than the movie," when referring to thefilmversion of a popular novel. With the film version of "The Great Gatsby," hitting theaters May 10, this is a preemptive review to save you, the reader, from making the mistake of using that annoying phrase in front of your friends or. colleagues and also to remind you that no film version of this American classic will ever do it justice. It's been tried before. Most of us will see the film for its own sake, but one should not outsource a reading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel entirely to à few hours in a dark, air-conditioned room. Bookstores everywhere have the paperback edition for cheap (less than a movie ticket) and I insist you pick it up and revisit Fitzgerald's tale of young elites obsessed with their idea of the American dream. It is a novel that will speak to those graduating this spring in that its themes explore the relationship between the pursuit of wealth and the dream of happiness and individualism. In leaving academia behind, graduates have the opportunity to remind themselves what he or she intends to accomplish in their professional lives. Fitzgerald challenges the reader to examine his or her own American dream. Many graduates have noble goals in mind, which should be protected against the influence or pursuits of pleasure and greed, however tempting. As Fitzgerald put it, "it was what preyed On Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams." Gatsby's own downfall was his obsession with the past. But the future is both daring and exciting. The exploration of unknown territory and the plans we students intend on pursuing in that territory that lies ahead. As the narrator exclaims at the end of the novel, "tomorrow we ForYour Entertainment 'Revenge' and ' Girls Just W ant t o Have Fun' will run faster, stretch out our arms farther." So, to the class of 2013,1 recommend revisiting this landmark in American literature before you charge bravely into the world. FEATURES EDITOR "Revenge" 5 Must-Watch Episode: "Chaos" Season 1, Episode 15 Revenge is one of ABC's most captivating shows, with protagonist Emily Thorne moving back to her childhood home in order to wreak havoc on the people who caused her father's untimely death. Having spent years in juvenile hall and away from her home in the Hamptons, Thorne uses the fact that no one recognizes her to her advantage. From seducing her enemies' son to faking her identity to blowing up an office, "Revenge" will create an air of mystery and suspense that is hard to ignore. And with season two still airing on ABC, viewers that get addicted to the show on Netflix will not have to wait for the "next season to be added online to finish watching thf latest episodes. "Girls Just Want to Have" XXXXI5 Contrary to the obnoxious 1979 Cyndi Lauper hit with the same name, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" will tug at your heartstrings and make you laugh at the right moments. A young Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt star in this campy romantic comedy about two girls trying to find who they are. When Janey (Parker) moves to town, she meets Lynne (Hunt), who instantly becomes her best friend. Janey realizes that Lynne has the same favorite television show as her, "Dance TV," and they begin to bond over their mutual desire to one day be performers on it. However, opportunity comes knocking sooner rather than later when auditions are being held in town. Torn between wanting to abide by her military father's strict rules and wanting to follow her biggest dream, Janey decides to take a risk and see what happens.

Concerts heating up t he summer season Local San Diego venues to host big name singers and bands B Y N ICOLEIGNELL BY KATLIN SWEENEY THE SHl#LE S TAFF W RITER Summer is almost here, and with the fun in the sun comes concerts . Where the sun is shining, no homework is due (for those who aren't dying in summer school) and no rules apply. Whether you enjoy the relaxing peaceful music of Marilyn Manson, or the head banging mixes of Justin Beiber, this summer promises to have the glorious musical talents of artists. Two music festivals have already kicked off the concert series, Stagecoach and Cochella...and having attended one of those and experiencing the classiness of culture rich environments, I can say, without a doubt that this summer is going to be awesome. Why not go out of your music comfort zone this summer? There are so many concerts to choose from and with the endless funds that all of us college students have (especially me), you should try and see as many as you can. Concerts are also a fun way to hang out with friends, sing like you would in the shower, and of course see artists that you love or meet a few new ones. Locally, the Del Mar Fair will host the musical styl•ing's of Switchfoot on June 14, Martina McBride on June 20, Big Time Rush on June 22, Train on June 27 and Adam Lambert on July 2. Tickets are currently on sale for these events and more information can be found at http://www. M s dfair.com/index. php?fuseaction=concerts .grandstand. Chula Vista's Sleep Train Amphitheatre will host Tim McGraw on June 7, Pitbull and Ke$ha on June 16, and the Vans Warped Tour on June 19. One luxury about this Amphitheatre is that there are cheap lawn seats for as low as $23. Valley View Casino center will also host Bruno Mars on July 30 . Make sure to check online and get tickets fast, because can sell out pretty fast. Have a nice summer, be safe, and more importantly, go to a lot of concerts. I'll see you there. �CONGRATULATIONS TO O U R 1« IBI Pitt g i |£3SsSS Jackie Bestmanri Heather M.

T he initiative has been in the works since summer 2013 and was proposed by the Scheduling Task Force. Under Provost Graham O berem's charge, the group was given the task of looking at the e ffects of increased population and the c ampus' lack of space t o better accommodate the influx of new students. One of the task f orce's m ajor goals included increasing student access t o classes in the hopes of reducing overlapping class times, reducing conflicts between r equired-classes a nd- giving' m ore- options to students.

O n Wednesday, O ct. 2 9, a g roup called Feminists A nonymous, along with other concerned students, rallied together in an e ffort t o raise awareness f or issues of sexual assault. T hey marched across c ampus carrying a mattress and p owerfully demonstrated t he need f or change. O ct. 2 9 w as the National Day of Action f or a m ovement t o e nd sexual assault on college campuses. It was inspired b y a student at Columbia University, Emma Sulkowicz, w ho has been carrying a dorm mattress around with her since the beginning of the semester. Sulkowicz says that she was raped b y a f ellow classmate on the first day of h er sophomore year and when she reported her c ase, h e was f ound innocent. She r efuses t o put down the mattress until her rapist has been expelled f rom c ampus. Sulkowicz is o ne of 2 3 students at Columbia w ho have m ade complaints against the university f or their alleged mishandling of sexual assault cases. Students at C SUSM have similar concerns. Editor's Note In the fourth edition of The Cougar Chronicle, published on Oct. 22,2014, a mistake was made in the article titled "CSU system faculty calls for fair contract" by Ryan Downs. The quote read, "This resolution came on the heels of a budget analysis performed by Dr. Howard Bunsis...which concluded that CSUSM does not have the resources to fund such a program." The quote should not have included the word "not." Karen G uzmXn, a C SUSM student and organizer of the m arch, explains that their message was in support of Sulkowicz and all survivors w ho have had t o experience sexual assault. "We want t o show people that w e are here t o stand in solidarity with all survivors and that w e can carry that weight f or t hem," GuzmXn said. GuzmXn also expressed her concerns over the university's policies and explained that they marched t o President H aynes' o ffice in order t o deliver a list of d emands, including t he need f or a sexual assault advocate. " An advocate's role is so important because this person would know every single action that a survivor could take. Not only would they b e there t o navigate through this very extensive process, but survivors would also have support and someone t o b e there f or t hem," GuzmXn said. Photo provided by Feminists Anomynous Student advocates question when a sexual assault advocate will be hired at CSUSM. GuzmXn says that C SUSM does not o ffer an advocate f or survivors and students are concerned with where their tuition money is going otherwise. " The university talks a lot about how they are in c ompliance with the current sexual assault policies such as the Yes M eans Yes B ill, yet w e still d o not have an advocate. It is important that w e as students are able t o question these t hings," GuzmXn said. She explains that their ultimate goal is t o expand and highlight on these issues of policy and persuade the administration t o m ake a c hange. "Feminists A nonymous wants t o h ave an advocate on c ampus because even as the safest C SU c ampus, t he university h asn't really served survivors," G uzmXn said. C SUSM students participated in this National Day of Action along with 130 other c ampuses around t he w orld.

Lecture to discuss differences between masculinity, femininity Challenging w ho you are " expected" to be BYKATDILTZ STAFF WRITER T he Gender Equity Center will b e hosting a free event f rom 12 p .m. t o 1 p .m. on Thursday, Nov. 6 in the U SU, discussing the interpretations of masculinity and femininity in t oday's society. T he speakers on this event will discuss how, throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood, w e are expected t o portray specific " gender r oles," unspoken rules that are mainly influenced by the media and modern society. Stereotypically, as children, girls are expected t o wear pink and play with dolls, while boys are expected t o wear blue (or other " masculine" colors) and play with toy trucks. A s t eens, girls are influenced b y magazine advertisements and celebrities t o b e thin yet voluptuous, and boys are influenced b y professional athletes t o b ecome muscular and fit. During adulthood, women are expected t o " save themselves f or m arriage," while it is socially acceptable f or men t o become sexually active during their teenage years. Women are also expected t o drink cosmopolitans and martinis while men can order beer o r whiskey. Men are considered the " superior" sex, and women are "second- Photo by Chris Morales This event at the GEC will encourage a re-evaluation of what it means to be masculine/feminine. ary." If any of these lines are c rossed, an individual would b e considered a social m isfit, the speakers a rgue. However, m ost p eople d o not f ollow t he "social n orm," regardless of their sexuality. S ome m en m ay say that although they p referred t o stay away f rom sports as a child and e njoyed designing f orts o r baking c ookies, they are still 100 percent masculine in terms of their attraction t o f emales. There are many women w ho liked t o participate in sports teams o r running marathons when they were y oung, and d on't like t o cook o r wear m akeup, but they still dream of having their o wn children someday a fter meeting o r marrying " Mr. R ight." Of c ourse, there are still others w ho share an attraction t o their s ame s ex, but feel uncomfortable with the alternative notions of masculinity and femininity they are assigned. Essentially, one's initial genetic makeup does not always determine permanent sexuality. Still, some question if the pressures of society o r expectations, seen even at such a young age, shaped h ow they identify themselves today, o r if they consider their sexuality something that was assigned at birth. T he Gender Equity Center hopes t o curb these worries with this event, as well as provide an open discussion space f or students. T he "Social Interpretations of Masculinity and Femininity" event is open t o everyone. Audience participation is encouraged and free f ood will b e provided.

T he event showed that computer and coding culture is about m ore than j ust hacking, but also about creating new things that serve a variety of p urposes.

Only a f ew of the students f rom C SUSM that attended the event majored in computer science. F or everyone with a noncomputer science m ajor, tu- torial programs and industry professionals were on hand t o provide assistance. T he important thing was t o remind the students that coding can b e f or everyone and is not an exclusive c lub.

Caroll, a singer f rom Los Angeles whose credits include opening f or Taylor S wift, p erformed several songs f rom his new album S UPERMESS, b efore addressing an ecstatic crowd about the dangers of drinking and driving. During the p erformance, Carroll f requently held u p " RADD c ards," prepaid credit cards with $20 t o b e used in case the recipient was inebriated and in need of a taxi. These cards, all adorned with the s inger's f ace, were handed out at various points during the concert t o the loudest f ans. Taylor and his band also stuck around f or a while a fter the concert t o meet with the concertgoers and take pictures. Though the event broadcasts the message of R ADD, the H OPE and Wellness C enter's organization of it was done in a coordinated e ffort. They worked with the California O ffice of Traffic Safety as part of a program t o promote responsible partying and road practices. In addition t o the c redij f or taxis, the " RADD c ard" also allows users t o participate in the R ADD Rewards p rogram, a program created in 2 009, wherein cardholders may earn special incentives f rom participating bars and restaurants, including f ree nonalcoholic b everages, f ood, g ift certificates and even f ree cover charge, A list of participating b ars can b e f ound at c ollegeisradd . org/bars .html Carroll, of course, seemed more than happy t o p articipate.

News Editor: Ryan Downs cougarchron.news@gmail.com 3 C ontinued f r o m p age I Access: Initiative addresses student needs Initiative's proposed time b lock, f or classes that are scheduled b efore 2:30 p .m. on Monday/Wednesday, they would switch f rom 75 minute intervals twice a week t o 50 minute intervals three times a w eek, the extra class t ime being scheduled f or Friday. This would increase the amount of class sections f rom what is currently five courses (between the hours of 7 a .m. and 2:15 p.m.) t o seven courses (between the hours of 7:30 a .m. and 2:20 p.m.). " There is a lot of concern on the side of faculty because this would b e a b ig c hange," said Academic Senate and Executive Committee Chair, Laurie Stowell. " Not everybody would b e moving t o three day a week classes, and with some classes, it might m ake sense t o d o so because the pedagogy would b e easier t o transition into a shorter class period. This is not a one size fits all schedule and it is not intended t o b e." Dr. Stowell said that while the Executive Committee has discussed the proposal, the consensus is not unanimous as t o whether or not the Student Access Initiative is ready t o b e implemented. ' T h e Executive Committee was considering a resolution in support t o take t o the Senate on Nov. 5 . It was a vote of 7 t o 6 not t o take the resolution of support," Dr. Stowell said. T he switch t o 50 minute class intervals may necessitate that students b e on campus f our or five days a week if they are unable t o coordinate all of their classes t o f all on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. S ome faculty members have expressed concerns over whether o r not the Student Access Initiative will prove s uccessful in accelerating graduation rates and accessibility of classes f or students if it increases the amount of time they are spending on c ampus. "If you are a Literature & Writing student, unless you only need o ne o r t wo classes t o graduate, you will most likely end u p with a five-day schedule," Literature & Writing Studies Department Chair, Dr. Salah Moukhlis, said. " As a chair, I cannot schedule all core/ elective courses on either Tuesday/Thursday or M onday/Wednesday/Friday b ecause they have t o b e spread out t o avoid class conflict." " The main concern among f aculty as f ar as consequences is that it will disproportionately impact students that are poor and working class, and impact those that have f amily obligations of f amily, children or siblings t o look over," history lecturer, our pay," California Faculty Association President, and Associate P rofessor of history, Darel E ngen, said. " There is the issue of research and service t oo. If w e have t o spend more tiifte on restructuring courses and commuting more o ften, t hat's going t o take away f rom the other things w e are required t o d o as w ell." "Lecturers and faculty get short term contracts that range f rom one semester t o one year contracts t o three year contracts. If this m easure goes into place, it w on't necessarily change class amount but the amount of time t o b e on c ampus," said Professor Henderson. " For tenure track it will probably h ave slightly less of an e ffect o n t hem b ecause they get allocated their classes first. Lecturer f aculty will probably h ave the same consequences as students w here w e are here t hree, f our, five days a week rather than t wo. I t's not m ore work b ut m ore time in the car and not being able to d o other things at m uch. Things like preparation and grading are done at h ome." Thus f ar, the proposal has been brought t o the Academic Senate and A SI, t wo open meetings have been held with various dept. chairs and the Provost conducted an open f orum with the university at large f or f aculty and staff t o share their comments and concerns. " As f ar as t he Student Access Initiative g oes, ASI h as not taken a f ormal stance in support o r against this initiative," said A SI E xecutive C ommittee President and C EO, Haley P erko. " Dr. K amel H addad, presented at our first A SI B oard of D irectors m eeting, and g ave his reasoning of w hy the university would like t o alter the current class schedule. T he c hange would open m ore course o fferings, h elping students get t he classes they need in order t o graduate in a timely m anner." "The number of classes we added alone this year were 100. We expect to add another 100 every year to accommodate the growth'~ P rofessor Michael Henderson, said. " Also, there may b e more campus and local congestion because m ore people may drive t o campus per day using more gas. A lso equity—access f or poor students o r those with other obligations is important. Very f ew students have the luxury of j ust coming t o campus and doing nothing e lse." " 90 percent of our students are commuter students, with more than 9,000 students taking 12 or more units," Scheduling Task Force Committee Chair, and history p rofessor, Dr. Patricia Seleski, said. "Of these people, 88 percent already c ome at least three days a w eek." Questions also arose as t o whether or not f aculty and lecturers would h ave adequate time t o transition their syllabi t o a 50 m inute interval class structure and if their workload would b e adequately c ompensated. "We may need t o r evamp several courses in a short period of t ime, so that is a workload issue that concerns the union because it increases workload with n o corresponding increase in Learn m ore: B a s t y r J s / S u c c e s s • 855-4-BASTYR Seattle • San D iego �o^ rnr m x pt a .@ . o 4 curhosos g cim THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 3 P O RIr s mmmm WÊÊÊtÊÊÊÊÊm PLAYER PROFILE S et-up player commands Cougars in final run Sports Editor: I A lyssa F oster's p henomenal f our-year t enure o n v olleyball t eam B Y R ESTY G REY SPORTS EDITOR Leading the w omen's volleyball t eam, senior setter and captain Alyssa Foster continues t o add to her 1100 assists on the season in an e ffort t o reciprocate another championship, j ust as she has helped t o d o so before during her three years of attendance at C SUSM.

C SUSM P rofessor of history, Ibrahim Al-Marashi, reflects this exact sentiment. A s an assistant History p rofessor with a teaching emphasis in Middle Eastern history, Dr. Al-Marashi hopes t o impart the same fascination and awareness of the past into his students. He stresses that there is always a m ajor event in t he Middle East: A rab Spring, War of Libya and the debate of whether the U .S. will strike Syria. He discussed how relevant Middle Eastern studies is now and how important it is t o learn, understand and address misconceptions in re- • •El gards t o these global events. "Students not only learn the history, but learn a lot about the regions that shape most American foreign policy to this very day," he said. Professor Al-Marashi enjoys being a history professor because history is a reflection of the human condition and of identity. He explained how it is an all-encompassing subject that looks at the past in order t o gain an understanding of the present. " When you are a professor of history, you are always learning; i t's a continuous p rocess," P rofessor Al-Marashi said. " I can honestly say n o day of work is ever the s ame. I may b e teaching the same subject, but n o matter what I a m teaching, I 'm teaching f rom a d ifferent approach o r d ifferent material f rom the present t o tell these students why these events illli 11 Photo attained from csusm.edu Dr. Ibrahim speaks to members of the history department. in the past are important." Professor A l-Marashi's family is originally f rom Iraq. However, h e was born in Baltimore and grew u p in California. H e earned a B .A. f rom University of California, Los Angeles, his M.A f rom. Georgetown University and eventually his Ph.D. f rom University of O xford in the U .K. He was motivated t o become a history professor in order t o learn and discover more about the region of his ancestors. H e explained that the time h e was studying t o become a professor of Middle Eastern history was a d ifferent time than now- FACULTY -it was pre 9/11, pre I raq. A fter graduation h e d ecided t o travel t o the M iddle East and experience the region h e was studying. A mong some of the places h e lived includes M orocco, Yemen and E gypt. " I f elt like I needed t o live there t o really understand the culture and the region and apply what I was studying t o the places I was going t o," h e said. P rofessor Al-Marashi confessed how h e is never in o ne place f or m ore than seven weeks and how h e is continuously on the m ove, traveling f or work and f or c onferences. H e is also currently w orking on writing another b ook on the ' 91 Gulf War, and as a side p roject, h e works with the local community t o teach the history of Iraq t o r efugees still in high school. P rofessor Al-Marashi currently teaches general history, War and Society, several courses on the Middle East and a course on w omen in the Middle East. Next semester h e will be o ffering a class about Spain and the Middle East which explores the Arabic influence in Spain and how a Catholic country deals with a Muslim past. T he class will b e o ffered in the spring from 2 :30 pm t o 3:45 p.m on M ondays and Wednesdays. Teaching i sn't simply a j ob f or P rofessor Al-Marashi, but a hobby as well. There is n o delineation between courses taught in classrooms and his way of living. "History is not j ust something I teach; i t's a philosophy; i t's a way of life; it's a way of l iving," Professor Al-Marashi said. " It's not work f or m e; i t's something I a m passionate about."

There are people in the Ca- reer Center w ho want nothing m ore than t o h elp you find the employment that will lead you t o that money. C alifornia's unemployment is currently at 5 .9 p ercent, and if students all would rather b e in that other 94.1 percent, then students need t o know what employers w ant. " What employers look f or ALUMNI: are ' soft s kills,'" Career Center Director, Pam Wells, said. These skills include: communication efficiency, both oral and written, experience working in t eams, t echnology] skills, experience in a diverse e nvironment, leadership potential and the capability t o learn n ew things. "[The] majority of these are [skills] students are getting [at C SUSM]," Career Counselor, Dian Sanchez, said.

A C SU executive summary, published January 1 9,2012, reviewed the results of a survey of employers in California. T he f our distinctive characteristics of C SU graduates are t eamwork, flexibility, capacity t o learn and representation of the diversity of the workplace. However, according t o the above mentioned research, this is what students need t o improve on: interpersonal skills. In any workplace of any size, these skills matter. A s a specialized area of interpersonal skills, C SUSM students need t o cultivate their interviewing skills. "Feedback is that some of our students are not as polished as other colleges," Wells said. Employers know what they are looking f or in potential ARE e mployees, and the interview process is w hen they are considering most w ho t o h ire.

JESUSM s tudent K arrkVitor started a b and during the summer with his f riends Andrew Velasco, Colin Hagan and Arman D olphin. T he b and was an idea that w as not initially p lanned.

T he b and's n ame is T he Strangers, which happened t o b e a suggestion m ade b y a stranger w ho saw t hem play together during o ne of their meet-ups. "We started off as strangers b ut c ame together with a c ommon interest and started p laying," Vitor said. A fter playing there f or a w hile, V itor's M end, Josh Fowler, helped t hem record their first album in his h ome studio. Vitor plays the guitar and sings b ut everyone in t he b and contributes t o the m u sic in other w ays. T he group brings a lot of variety t o t he music because each b and m ember uses an instrument that reflects their b ackground such as an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a keyboard and a m elodica. " Each of t hem, however, is extremely talented and bring something d ifferent t o this g roup, and I 'm glad that the first b and I 'm in is with these g uys," Vitor said. T he b and's first o fficial performance was at the Mission Asian market in Oceanside. They did not h ave a set list so instead, they improvised. They played " Saved R oom," " Happy" and " Creep." It was a good first experience because people cheered and danced as they played. Vitor is mostly self-taught. His musical education started when h e received a guitar at the age of 16. H e began by watching videos online and reading the guitar tabs of whatever music h e was into at the t ime. O ne of his first memories is side Filipino Cultural Festival where h e m et Katherine Sinsuan, w ho later played with h im at other shows. Vitor plans t o take a road trip with h is b and in the spring and h opefully play m usic in various v enues, as well as work on p roducing a second album. Other b ands such as M umford and Sons, T he Head and t he H eart, Paramore and Jeff Buckley all are part of h is musical influences. Their n ext performance is at 9 p .m. o n Saturday, N ov. 1 at t he M ission Asian m arket i n O ceanside. "If students w ant t o p ursue m usic t hen t hey n eed t o b e o pen a nd willing t o e xplore d ifferent k inds of m usic a nd b e w illing to put e ffort i nto i mproving," Vitor s aid.

W hat is improv, you m ay ask? Improvisation is anything m ade-up on the spot. T he Improv Team specializes in concocting characters, scenes, dramas a nd laughs in seconds based on audience suggestions. T he club team was started in 2010 by Nicole H ernandez, Aaron C hase, Molina M ilbourne and Lorenzo Taylor. Originally, Improv w as o ffered as a class, but then these three students took the idea and f ormed the c lub. I joined this past semester, and I am 100 percent biased in its favor. To get on the club t eam, auditions are held once a semester f or anyone interested. Senior Player Ryan D owns, w ho j oined Fall semester of 2010, has some insider advice: " The auditions are t o see if you can act on a stage, in a team as a team player. T he only problem is if y ou're frying to b e t oo f unny," D owns says. " Just b e Improv club poses for a group photo during practice. y ourself, and w e'll worry about [being f unny] later." There are a f ew rules in keeping with classic improv, but i t's mostly j ust one game a fter another. One of my favorites is "Zip-ZapZ op," when the players have t o point at someone else in the circle, yelling one of uses in real l ife. In all of the g ames, players h ave seconds t o c ome u p with a character with reactions and f eelings. "You learn t o think on y our f eet," D owns said. " [Which is] very important in other t hings." Just consider public speaking o r class participation f or that matter. It c an't hurt socially either. T he confidence this builds with practice can easily b e transferred t o everyday experience. I 've only b een on the Improv Team f or about a month now, meeting once a w eek on Monday nights.

The term " feminism" h as been somewhat of a t aboo in Western culture, and f or people living in m any o ther parts of the world, i t's c ompletely unheard o f. T he o ppression of women m anifests itself differently all o ver t he world, but in the c ase of Western society, some individuals are not f ully a ware of its presence on a daily b asis. Many men and w omen argue that gender equality does exist in America t oday when, in f act, w e are f ar f rom tackling the perpetual disadvantages of o ur society's g ender stereotypes. T he theory of " anti-feminism" is the belief that w omen's disadvantages in society are exaggerated o r n on-existent, o r assumes that f eminists seek t o oppress m en. It is an ideology that h as recently b een p opularized b y a b log o n T umblr entitled " womenagainstfeminism.tumblr.com." O n this b log, w omen send in pictures of themselves h olding u p signs explaining w hy they d on't agree with f eminism o r why they c hoose not t o b e a f eminist. T he c ommon d enomina- tor that holds true through each one of these w omen's arguments is that they are arguing against b eliefs that d iffer f rom f eminism. T he term f eminism is defined in the dictionary as " the advocacy of w omen's rights on the ground of political, social and economic equality t o m en." In recent decades, the term f eminism gained attention due t o the W omen's Liberation M ovement, which originated during the 60s and 7 0s. Many feminists p refer t o cite a definition that comes f rom f eminist theory and/or f eminist writers such as bell h ooks, whose definition says that " feminism is a m ove- Why mass media is the best major they d ress, their sexuality, their ideas and their b odies. " Womenagainstfeminism" h ave got it all wrong. Feminism is not about burning bras o r shaming women w ho e njoy cooking f or their significant other. I t's not about hating men or playing the victim c ard. I t's about challenging s ociety's expectations of w omen and being w ho you are without having t o apologize f or it. I t's about the social j ustice that comes with equality. I t's about taking pride in celebrating how great it is t o b e a w oman in every beautiful shape, b ra size and l ifestyle choice they c ome i n. Benefits of stem cell research lauded B y K ATIABRUNSON OPINION ASSISTANT America is the consumer capital of the world; a fflicted by a constant b arrage of media selling us social norms, values and ideas. Almost everything w e know to be true has b een fed to us through various media outlets, whether it b e through the news, a T V show or a friend's status u pdate. What we value as n orms in our society are perpetuated through the media, w hich is why being an i nformed consumer in this day in age is crucial to making sense of what all of the constant information means t o u s as individuals. We r evolve around our F acebook, Instagram and Twitter a ccounts; constantly seeking interconnectedness with t he h umans around us. We thrive on instant updates and n onstop information. T he m edia holds a lot of p ower in o ur society, so if you c an't b eat 'em, might as well j oin ' em. Anything involving t he distribution of i nformation is classified as m edia. T he subject of mass m edia is s o vast and continues t o g row exponentially, making it e asy for anyone t o find a specific interest in this m ajor, women out of the 4 35 m embers that make u p the U .S. House of Representatives, and only 20 out of 100 m ake u p the Senate. Pay inequality still exists, and even in the year 2014, some men grow u p believing that they are entitled to w omen's b odies. This results in issues such as cat-calling, sexual assault and r ape, which in some cases are classified as socially acceptable o r deemed the w oman's f ault. Society needs f eminism because women are tired of not being taken seriously and feeling that they constantly have to apologize f or the way they act, the way ment to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression." This movement launched awareness f or issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, w omen's s uffrage, sexual harassment and sexual violence; all of which are issues still being dealt with today. So why all the animosity towards feminists? Somewhere along the l ine, society has convinced many people that women in the Western world are " out of the w oods" in the sense that w e have reached the equal treatment that men are born with. In reality, there are only 79 Potential gains outstrip ethics concerns B Y JASMINE D EMERS COMMUNITY N EWS EDITOR Photo provided by Katia Brunson Mass media gives students diverse knowledge set.

A genetic disease that will kill you 10 t o 2 0 years a fter your diagnosis and that will slowly eat away at your nervous system until you c an't t alk, eat o r b reath. H untington's disease has been passed down in my f amily f or five generations.

There is n o cure f or H untington's disease and not very many approved treatment options. Ever since I could remember, I have researched everything and anything possible about this disease and I have always laid my hope in this truly amazing scientific advancement called stem cell r esearch. Human stem cell research has the potential t o cure devastating diseases and regenerate injured or destroyed b odies. However, since scientists discovered that they could remove stem cells f rom embryos in 1998, controversy f ollowed closely thereafter. T he ethical concerns of stem cell research have created a widespread debate about the moral consequences of using aborted h uman embryos f or research. T his controversy h as raised many questions about t he right t o l ife and whether o r not there is a valid j ustification f or participating in i t. M ore recently, h owever, scientists have introduced new study m ethods, which they call Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS). T hese cells are derived f rom a non-pluripotent cell in adults. Scientists can basically extract these cells and reprogram them t o grow into any type of tissue that they might n eed. I would like t o argue h ere that the benefits of stem cell research significantly outweigh any issue of ethics that is presented. If a w oman decides t o h ave an abortion and that e mbryo is going t o b e destroyed, why s houldn't people b e able t o use that f or something that is u seful, p owerful and life-changing? As a person who could directly benefit f rom this research, I definitely f eel like stem cell research is an i mportant and necessary idea. I would have the opportunity t o spend more time with my grandma and my dad. I would b e given a chance t o bring children into the world and live a longer l ife. Stem cell research could create these opportunities and change the lives of so many other f amilies all around t he w orld. S tem cell research h as t he ability t o treat s ome of the m ost c ommon and l ife threatening diseases (including c ancer), r eplace o r r epair d amaged o rgans, create copies of organs f or transplant and so much m ore.

B Y C OLLIN V AZ FEATURES ASSISTANT Despite the shooting of Michael Brown taking place on A ug. 9 , protests are still o ngoing. With strong e motions surrounding the events in F erguson, M issouri, it is crucial t o e xamine all of t he available information in order t o understand the f ull scope of the situation. O fficer Darren Wilson had originally stopped Michael Brown f or j aywalking with his f riend Dorian J ohnson. According t o p olice, a struggle ensued inside of the police cruiser between Wilson and Brown over the o fficer's weapon. Brown was then shot six t imes. He received multiple gunshot wounds t o the hand and a rm, b efore a final round t o t he t op of his head fatally wounded h im. At t he time of the incident, B rown's f riend Dorian Johnson told police that Michael put his hands u p in the air and told the police o fficer that h e did not h ave a gun. This sparked riots and protests in F erguson, as the community was outraged by the nature of the shooting. More information was released soon t hereafter that cast doubt on the notion of police brutality. A fter the name of the o fficer w ho shot and killed M ichael Brown was released, a video was also given t o the press showing Michael Brown along with his f riend Dorian, robbing cigars f rom a liquor store and violently shoving the salesman in order t o escape. Because O fficer Wilson was not aware of the t heft at the time of the shooting, B rown's f amily is claiming that the video is merely a "character assassination a ttempt." If character is t o b e called into question it is also important t o understand the m edia's portrayal of B rown. Brown is o ften described as an "unarmed black teenager," indicating that Michael posed n o threat t o the police o fficer and therefore the situation did not j ustify lethal f orce. However, it is not widely publicized that Michael brown was 6 '4", 292 lbs. at the time of his death. If an altercation did take place inside O fficer Wilson's car and Michael Brown did attempt t o steal his w eapon, the shooting was j ustified. Medical examiner, Dr. Michael G raham, stated that the trajectory of the gunshot wound to the hand " does support that there was a significant altercation at the car." It should also b e noted that Dorian B rown, M ichael's f riend whose statement sparked protests, has a record of t heft, lying t o p olice, skipping court and previously had a warrant out f or his arrest. While police brutality is a m ajor problem in America and deserves the n ation's attention, it is difficult t o say with certainity that the incidents that have occurred in Ferguson q ualify as such. Protests in Ferguson are still underway, and the police have responded in f orce with hundreds of militarized police o fficers and unconstitutional " free speech z ones." New information is still surfacing as the chief of police in Ferguson is expected t o resign. • Is Student Access Initiative beneficial?

Kuhlman �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchronarts@gmail.com MOVIE REVIEW 2.5/5 P AWS "The Best of Me" is not quite the best Newest Nicholas Sparksfilmfails to meet expectations BY LEXY P EREZ A&E ASSISTANT The time has come for movie-goers to be introduced to yet another love story. It is a new addition to the Nicholas Sparks collection, a.k.a: the sappy, teaijerker, Hollywood hunk-filled, 'why c an't this be my real l ife' type of films. "The Best of M e" is Sparks' new page-to-screen adaptation. While it consists of his signature love story components, it is simply a 2.0 version of his nationally known masterpiece, "The Notebook." James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan star as Dawson and Amanda, former high school sweethearts who are reunited 21 years later after forming an inseparable bond filled with love and passion. While reuniting, they find themselves in a tug of war- reigniting their once puppy love or facing BOOKREVIEW the reality of their previous hardships that kept them apart even after two decades. While Marsden and Monaghan are established actors in Hollywood, the young counterparts of their characters steal the show. Luke Bracey (young Dawson) and Liana Liberato (young Amanda) express an undeniable chemistry that makes viewers believe in the power of a first true love. All Marsden and Monaghan have is a lackluster chemistry that seems as if they ËMOVIE "Natural choice for criminal suspense" are just acquainted friends rather than past lovers. Without watching Liberate and Bracey depict a blooming love story, it is unlikely to ever believe that these two people were once love-stricken teenagers. It almost seems as if two different love stories were being portrayed: the story of first love and the story of two sad and lonely adults turning to each other despite being strangers (surely another possible Sparks story). If this movie was released REVIEW before "The Notebook," it could have the potential of being recognized as a classic love story, but, unfortunately, all it does is follow the same cliché recipe of 'rich girl falls for poor boy,' families object, life drama happens, nonstop tears, the coveted rain kiss and even more kissing that makes the film seem as if it's simply attempting to promote a brand of chap stick. While I love romance movies as much as the next girl, this one fails to grasp my full attention and admiration. 4.5/5 Throughout the film, I found myself already knowing what would occur, seeming as if I wrote the script myself. While it could prove that I am worthy of being a screenwriter, the unfortunate reality is that it is a generic movie that offers nothing new and interesting to its viewers. "The Best of Me" is definitely one of those films that could be viewed when in need of a complete cheesy chick-flick day, but if y ou're looking for a true love story, stick to the classics. P AWS John Wick, successful film for Reeves BY SYDNEY SCHABACKER B Y P IERCE B RENNER STAFF WRITER STAFF W RITER Cassandra Hobbes has a special talent: she is a natural profiler. It's a talent that her mother, who made a living pretending to be a psychic, helped Cassie develop. With one look, Cassie can discern more about a person than detailed studies could provide. She notices the little things-all of them. Though she lost her mother to a brutal unsolved murder, she continues to develop her skill. When the FBI offers Cassie a chance to become part of a secret program that uses gifted teenagers to solve cold cases, she accepts with the hope that she may resolve at least some of the questions surrounding her mother's murder. The rest of the Naturals, those perhaps too gifted to get along with anyone, make an uneasy alliance as it becomes clear that their work on cold cases triggered a current threat to themselves. With an excellent cast of characters making up the Naturals including teenage experts in data compilation, lie detection, body language, facial expressions and more, the Naturals' chapters should hook you in. If not, then the alternating chapters written from the point of view of the killer, known as 'You,' should do the trick. Published in 2013, The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is only the first in its series. With advanced degrees in psychology, psychiatry and cognitive science, Barnes is very well suited for writing criminal suspense novels. The second in The Naturals series is Killer Instinct. Based on how much I enjoyed The Naturals, I will definitely be reading Killer Instinct. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is a retired assassin turned grieving widower. Everything goes down when a trio of Russian mobsters (led by Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen) breaks into Wick's house, steal his car and kill his puppy, as the final gift from his wife. Fueled by vengeance, John decides to get revenge on the men who destroyed the last good thing in his life. I never heard of John Wick until about two months ago, and I, like most people, was just waiting for a crapfest; however, the trailer completely won me over. It was cool, f un and looked like it could be Keanu Reeves' return to form. Sure enough, I was totally right. John Wick is awesome, and, other than Gone Girl, better than any movie out right now. If you can expect one thing from a typical Keanu Reeves film, it's action. Well, the action in John Wick is terrific, probably some of the best I 've seen all year. Director Chad Stahelski's background in stunt coordination is obvious, with the action being well choreographed and well shot. It's also violent and gritty, with a great deal more blood than w e've come to expect in this Marrara vel-dominated landscape. It's a nice change of pace to see a great action movie that also lets all hell break loose. I 'm generally pretty cold toward Keanu Reeves as an actor, but if he's put in the right role he can work towards the benefit of the film. John Wick is one of those roles. He's a vengeful, heartbroken badass who has lost everything that matters to him-not very emotional or talkative-but very good at • charming, fighting and killing. In short, this role plays to Reeves' strengths and lets him do what he does best. The supporting cast is also runs the Continental H otel- avoids that trap and becomes quite good.

There are many sources of debate on ho&, if and when one should get married. With regards to modern concepts of marriage, a shift in age atfirstmarriage as well as economic factors come in to play. The Cougar Chronicle asks a few women on campus to explain and consider their feelings towards marriage, in order to get a concept o f howstudents plan and feel on the topic in comparison to national trends. A vast body of research has been conducted on the subject of marriage from varying sources, for diverse reasons. The idea that marriage should be discussed in educational institutes for students is a controversial one that some believe would prevent a great deal of problems in young people's later marriages. Throughout time, mar- riage has been championed by many governments on the basis that it provides stable family-structures and more citizens born. Records are kept of marriage to track trends and do other clerical tasks from. According to U.S. Census data, the estimated median age of first marriage by sex for 2011 was 28.7 for men, and 26.5 for Women. In 1890 average ages were 26.1 for men, and 22.0 for women. In 2001 men and women married at 26.9 and 25.1, respectively. Ages at first marriage are being delayed and lasting longer according to most psychology textbooks. In a small sample of convenience, conducted of five women at CSUSM on Oct. 14, a few questions related to marriage were asked. Participants surveyed were 18 to 25 in ages. On how they felt about marriage, students seemed to generally concede that it was a positive thing. They had some differing perspectives. "I feel like nowadays, in modern times, people give N ewly engaged couple enjoying their photography session with photographer.

Zana Taylor, 18, said. "I really like the idea of marriage. I feel like marriage allows someone to have a best friend, and someone to lean on." Julie Meram, 20, said. "I would really love to be married someday. I don't know if it's be- cause we're supposed to. [We] feel something missing and just want someone there." said Amy, 22.

Many courses currently offered at the school do not have homework that is distributed in class, instead opting for online homework through a specific website or through Cougar Courses. Some classes have even transitioned from the traditional classroom setting to an entirely web-based course. Students have more options for classroom settings and online involvement than ever, but need to be careful in selecting, as different studies show contrasting effectiveness for different people. CSUSM has a variety of options, suiting a range of student needs. There are three different types of web-based courses offered for CSUSM. There is the online course, where there is no face to-face instruction. There is the hybrid course, where there are some lectures given in the classroom and some online. Then there is the webfacilitated course, where there is face-to-face interaction through online means.

After years of research, the concept of a male contraceptive pill has been revisited for commercial purposes. Although most will argue that a male contraceptive is not required, studies show that half of pregnancies are still unplanned, thus there is a need for a third option. Fellow students gave their opinion on the issue. In the 1950s, researchers tested "WIN" ( a control contraceptive drug) on male prisoners and found success. However, when the drug was tested on the general public, it had severe side effects triggered by the consumption of alcohol and therefore was taken off the market. Currently research is focusing on a way to disrupt the maturation of sperm in the testes, to decrease chance of fertilization. However, according to Science Mag, finding a method that is effective, safe, cheap, well-tolerated, bioavailable, easy-tomanufacture, side-effect-free and completely reversible male pill is the challenge. Right now the objective is to develop a version of the 1950's "WIN," that encompasses all the mentioned factors. Mass quantities of fellow number 5 in pill form. Image by Anne Hall. "I wouldn't take it, personally because I am really skeptical of new products like that because they can end up having unintended, serious consequences. I think it's an interesting idea," CSUSM student, Clark Conforti, said. "I totally support the idea and the implementation because there are almost no options for male birth control [other than condoms] while women have a few to chose from, but there are so many steps in the research process during drug development that I would most likely wait a few years after it's been on the market to see if there are any other side effects," CSUSM student, Nick Allen, said. Alex Williams, another CSUSM student, agreed. "I don't have a lot of information about the use of male contraceptives, but I wouldn't be interested in using it, even if it were available to me. I would stick to using condoms safely to prevent pregnancy," he said. Overall it seems men would be interested, so long as there is more infoijnation about the the delayed side effects, overall safety and the only way to ensure that would be with time. Although promising, the research has been stumped in the early testing stages and more costly human trials.

There are great local places that are perfect to relax or simply hang out with friends. One location that is great for such activity is the downtown part of Escondido and it has recently begun its reinvention after being abandoned by daily activity. It's a long street containing antique shops, Italian restaurants, art galleries, museums, libraries and coffee shops. Although this sounds alluring enough, it hasn't been enough to attract maximum attention from local people and it began its downfall years ago. Although this has been a problem, downtown isn't ready to give up just yet. Escondido has begun the process of reinventing this part of the city by opening tip more restaurants and art galleries. They recently opened up Maple Street Pedestrian Plaza, which citizens embraced nicely. Downtown Escondido only seems to be occupied during spring and summer. It's their busiest time of the year with people flocking in from every inch of the city. Every Friday, starting in April and ending in September, there is an activity called Cruise'n Grand. People use this time to showcase and sell models of antique cars. The streets are filled with local citizens, old and young, enjoying the spring and summer nights. People find it relaxing to walk and see a site that is regularly abandoned, full of activity and life. During this season the restaurants and coffee shops are open at different times and it gives people the opportunity to enjoy downtown. One of the many disadvantáges of the local businesses in downtown is their opening hours. Some stores and coffee shops have odd hours that don't allow customers to stop by whenever they please, checking the hours is something that is required. The building and opening of new businesses, along with a new film school in the area, all seem promising for this abandoned yet charming street in Escondido. Students should take time to visit and enjoy some of the restaurants or art galleries in downtown whenever they have free time. It's not necessary to go far to find some originality and get some good coffee. Downtown Escondido is a place that deserves more recognition and more visitors, not only in the summer but year round. There's hope in its reinvention and there are locals who are anxious to see what will become of it.

Viejas Arena was loud, but the men's basketball team contended throughout the matchup. When the Cougars entered the arena after the half, the Aztec fans booed loudly and tried to intimidate the team. This didn't seem to faze the Cougars as their style of gameplay was smooth and on point. The team moved the ball around well and kept up with the Aztecs. Jason Johnson scored a game high of 27 points in 34 minutes of gameplay for the Cougars. D e'End # Parker also scored in the double digits with 14.

D esigning a g reat b rand of p lay Coach S aia d e v e l o p i n g BY JUSTIN DONNER SPORTS EDITOR Coach Saia is the piece that has accelerated the growth of the CSUSM men's basketball team. He came in with a blank canvas to work with and is the man for the job. Being handed the keys to a brand new program is special, and Saia is now in his third year of developing his vision. The opportunity to mold a new program is a big one. "It's very rare in this day and age for a college of this stature to not have a team," says Saia. class-act basketball He was excited by the opportunity, loves the area and felt that it was a good decision for his family. With experience coaching for big Division I programs at UCLA and USC, Saia knows what it takes to recruit the kind of players that will win championships. He has already shown his recruitment genius by bringing players who have played at the Division I level onboard such as De'End Parker. "We knew mutual people at UCLA and they said Coach Saia would have a good plan for me," said Parker. Saia admits that it's a program challenge to recruit without having a court on campus, but they still have great selling points with the school's location. CSUSM men's basketball is currently ranked twelfth and is exciting to watch. Saia feels that they are a great brand of basketball to watch and that they are "the best product in North County." The team is getting better every year. Saia feels that there is not a large amount of entertainment around campus and that he is molding a team that offers a good experience for the community.

The teams have some big playoff expectations. Both the men's and women's cross country teams will be going to nationals. The men are currently ranked ninth in the NAIA. A couple of the men's top runners are hurt but should be back to help their team beat the competition. Women's cross country was ranked third, but lost to Biola and Masters, and dropped to sixth. The women are far from worried, due to the fact that their top four runners have been doing well. The conference championship will be held at CSUSM Nov. 9 at 9 a.m. As for the women's soccer team, they are currently ranked 23 and are the number two seed for the A ll Tournament. Even though the ladies lost to Ashford in the Championship last year they still made the NAIA tournament and won the AH tournament in 2 008,2009 and 2011. The women are looking great this season and have won five of their last six games. Men's soccer had a solid season. They will most likely need to win the Conference tournament in order to make it to playoffs. The men actually allow visitors to realize it is in fact fall in southern California when they see all of the leavejs changing from green to red, yellow, orange and brown. While walking through town you might catch the scent of wood burning in fireplaces. Several hiking trails can be found near Julian, ranging from distances of less than a mile to over eight miles. Some of the trails are paved and some are dirt, but most are well maintained. While a majority of the trails are self-guided, it is possible to find guided hikes in Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve* and Santa Ysabel Open Space Preserve. More information about the strenuousness, length, hours and location of trails can be found at http://www.julianca.com/hiking_nature/index. htm#List of Hikes & Trails.

B Y R ACHEL G ALLEGO HEALTH COLUMNIST Balancing school, work and your social life can be stress-: ful and yoga is a great remedy to address this tension. It may seem intimidating, or even foreign, but anyone can do it and studies have shown many health benefits. Yoga can help to reduce stress and anxiety through focused training of your physical and mental disciplines. Using breathing and meditation practices allow you to unwind and feel at ease. Yoga can help to improve flexibility, lower blood pressure and enhance heart function. It may also aid in improving chronic conditions such as depression and pain. A local yoga instructor puts it into a simple perspective and says that it releases the bad energy and supports your overall sense of well-being. One of the great aspects of yoga is that there are many different, styles that you can find to fit your own personal needs and goals. If you are a beginner, you may want to start out with Hatha yoga, which uses basic poses or postures. If you are looking to push yourself a little more, Ashtanga yoga would be a good fit. This is Movement helps reduce stress and increases happiness. Photo by Anne Hall. Julien apple pies are a great way to take a break while spending the day in M ien.

Another common and popular style is Bikram yoga, or hot yoga, where you practice proper alignment in a setting of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Another benefit of yoga is that instructors encourage you to explore your limits while not overdoing it. If you find yourself uncomfortable, you-can always resort back to a simpler pose. Don't be afraid, roll out a mat and give yoga a try and watch your stress subside. CSUSM offers free yoga.

A board standing outside the center in the weeks prior read "Pageants the biggest scholarship given to women in U.S. - is this a problem?" The discussion lead by Cecili Chadwick, a CSUSM Women's Studies Professor, dealt with how diverse Miss America winners are, what the process of the pageant is and whether the states of these are acceptable from a feminist perspective. The winner of the Miss America pageant receives a $50,000 scholarship, which must be used for school. Chadwick suggests that this is much higher than scholarships available to men and ques- "If y ou c an l ook g o o d in a bikini a nd float a cross the s tage then y ou c an g o to c ollege/' tions the nature of it. During the discussion Chadwick gave a lecture on the Miss America pageant. She had played with possible titles such as "Cheerleaders for War, Playing Dress-up for Money, Little boys become president / little girls become miss America, Miss America is always heterosexual and (almost) always a white Christian," but settled ultimately on "Madonnas, Whores and Girls-next-door Some of the titles, like "Cheerleaders for War" stress how in order to appear "wholesome" and "not opinionated" Miss America is expected to give political sounding answers, such as supporting the troops. "Madonnas, Whores and Girls-next-door" identifies a third archetype that a feminist could argue women are forced to fit into society's misconception that all women are either maternal mother-Mary types or whores.

Reserve Officers Training Course is a college program offered on campus focused on preparing young adults to become productive members of society and potential active duty military personnel. Captain Orezzoli is one of three supervisors who oversee the program. Accompanying him are Sergeant First Class Angel Martinez and Lieutenant John Hibbert. These individuals are active duty military members assigned to three years residence for the CSUSM program. Orezzoli states the mission of ROTC, as a course study, is to focus on "the growing individual," the coUege student. There are currently 35 students enroUed in ROTC. Requirements for joining the program come in three parts. Part one, being thefirsttwo years in the program, intends for the student to gain experience and military insight. Deciding if it's for you is the main consideration for becoming a cadet—part two. If one chooses to participate as a cadet aU that is required is to register for the course on campus. The course fulfills political science requirements. Physical training and lab work are not included but the course work is credited. Enrolled students become contracted cadets. From here, students move toward part three: deciding to pursue a career in military service and become a contracted member which could potentially continue on to become active duty or reserve. Even when contracted, there is no guarantee that participants win be selected to serve in the armed forces. By the student's junior year they are either contracted or not. Participating students can be enroUed and contracted as officers with ambitions of becoming contracted for military service.

Faculty Profile Dr. Rajnandini Pillai B Y AMANDA L ENOX ASSISTANT TO THE EDITOR Dr. Rajnandini Pillai is a leader and inspiration for College of Business Administration students both in and out of the classroom. She received her undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Chemistry but changed her career course when she earned her MBA from the University of Bombay. Dr. Pillai has always been passionate about studying leadership, so her master's thesis focused on the leadership styles of bank managers. She received a scholarship to attend the uni* versity at Buffalo, The State University of New York, where she obtained her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior. Professor Pillai explains her decision in choosing her field of study saying, "Ever since I was a teenager my mother exposed me to the autobiographies of great leaders.. .and so I read about Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi and Churchill. And one of the reasons why I'm so interested in charismatic leadership is because I always wanted to study leaders who made a difference, especially when a company or a country is in crisis and along comes this person that everybody looks up to." Professor Pillai was recommended by her advisor to Glen Brodowsky, fellow SUNY, Buffalo graduate and COBA faculty member, when CSUSM was looking for teachers to teach organizational behavior and leadership. (ROTC continued year graduation plan. Education comes before all else. "Students come first," said Captain Orezzoli. Cadets are involved in the community and provide their services helping the homeless, reading to students, assisting in other ROTC programs in elementary and high school grade levels, as well as carrying out duties in color guard and participating in various other events. Equal Opportunity and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response programs are taught quarterly through from page this course as well as the Army's standards of fitness. To enroll students can apply through the campus Veterans Center. Applications are processed through Vicky Hernandez and submitted to San Diego State University's Aztec Battalion. The program also upholds* a strong relationship with the campus Athletic Department, Pride Center, Gender Equity Center and the Veterans Service Center.

The courses she teaches at the undergraduate level include Leadership and Organizations and the popular course, In the Executives Chair. The class brings in a new CEO each week to talk to students about the "stories of their successes and failures." At the MBA level she teaches Leadership and Business Ethics. She also supervises Senior Experience teams. Dr. Pillai is also one of the co-founders of the Center for Leadership, Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). CLIMB is a resource "for both external and internal communities: students, faculty, administrators, staff, as well as the business community and other members of the community ." "I get to share my passion with my students. I hope in some way I can make a difference in students' lives," said Professor Pillai when asked what she likes most about teaching. She also loves meeting new students each semester and keeping in touch with them after they graduate. Dr. Pillai hopes that students "recognize that leaders have a major impact. And even if they cannot change the leaders that they currently have... they can go out and make a difference with the people that they lead in the future." 6).

White, Chancellor �Autism Spectrum Disorder stereotyping Misconceptions breed negative effects BY CHELSEY NICOLE BROWN S TAFF W R I T E R Media representations of autism have led to issues with labelling, causing those with the condition to feel hurt and frustrated. We all remember the movie "Rain Man." It was the story of an autistic "savant" named Raymond who is Tom Cruise's character Charlie Babbitt's unknown brother. In the film, Raymond is incredibly gifted in "mental calculation," and can count literally hundreds of objects at once. This ability is extremely past the normal range of human men- tal calculation abilities. This film, while receiving rave reviews and nu- J merous awards from the box office, has created a horrendously invalid stereotype about people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) being savants. It has even gone so far as to be used as a short hand to refer to an individual with autism. Whenever I bring up that I have an ASD, nine times out of 10 the first thing someone says is "So you're like 'Rain Man,' right?" That's not to say that "Rain Man" was without its positives. The film did bring to light the abject failures of many public agencies to accommodate individuals with autism and make use of the skills they do have. What most people do not realize about autism is that it is a spectrum. Every single individual case of Autism, Asperger's syndrome and PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified) is unique. Two or more individuals might have similar symptoms, but the degrees in which they affect each particular individual vary greatly. I am in firm belief that this film laid the groundwork for all modern forms of ignorance about ASDs. While this particular film's problem is different from most .modern forms, from it has stemmed a hydra of ignorance ranging from "People with autism are mentally retarded" to even accusing people with ASDs as being violent or prone to violence. For example, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough had accused the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, Adam Lanza, on his show, "Morning Joe," of having a violent form of ASD despite the fact that Lanza didn't even have an autism disorder in the first place. The issue that myself and many other individuals with an ASD is the constant second-class status we are nearly forced to live under, whether it be directly or indirectly. We already have to deal with the innumerable and inevitable struggles that come with living with an ASD. The general public should not compound on it by treating us any differently than how they would treat neuro-typical people. Autism isn't a disease; it's not an illness. It cannot be cured, and nor do we want a cure regardless of what organizations like Autism Speaks have to say. We are people. We have the same thoughts, feelings and intelligence levels as you all do. We might be really good at something, we might not be. We are not what the media and popular culture have portrayed us as being. We deserve the same respect as everyone else, regardless of our status. « In unity we » remain.

C OUGAR C HRONICLE S T A F F Phone etiquette no-no's photographed by Noelle Friedberg. P lease p ut y our p hone a way Disruptive classroom behaviours or Proper classroom etiquette B Y N OELLE F RIEDBERG S TAFF W R I T E R Students using their phones during class lecture serve as distractions to those around them and as a thorn in their professors sides. We all know professors find it rude when we pay more attention to our cell phones in class than we do their lectures. So why do we do it? When we really think about it, I think most of us can admit that cell phone use in class has gotten a little out of hand. In any given class you only have to turn your attention to the girl sitting next to you to find her texting "Mi Amor." You only have to look up to see one of your fellow students Snapchatting a picture of the lecture to one of their friends. You only have to turn around to see the guy behind you scrolling through his Instagram. But is it really worth it? I for one find it hard to concentrate when the person in front of me is constantly on their phone and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Professors even point out how annoyed it makes them. My marine biology professor is always calling people out for texting in the front row, and I have to agree with him that it's wrong. Focusing on your phone instead of what your professors are saying is basically communicating to them and the rest of the class that you really just don't care about what they have to say. And maybe you don't. But next time you're glued to your phone during class at least ask yourself, "Can it wait?" Because if it can, you should probably put your phone away. Instagram, Facebook and whoever you're texting at the moment will still be there when class is over.

The CSUSM students and professors reviewed in the article suggested that this form of meat production was impractical and disgusting. Being a humanitarian, animal-rights advocate and having an organic, plantbased diet, I was thrilled t o learn of this innovation. I beg that the community begins to reevaluate current agricultural biochemical standards and consider the benefitsofproducinglabmeat. According to Dr. Robert Rider, CSUSM Economics Professor and Chair of the Economics Department, lab-grown meat will restrict US exports to outside coufitries. Professor Rider also examined the existing restrictions on meat exports, as many countries currently refuse North American meat due to our use of antibiotics in the breeding of animals and growing of crops. This should raise a red flag to American consumers. Why is it that other countries refuse the sale and consumption t>f genetically modified foods while American .consumption increases? Perhaps it is due to the irrefutable evidence of GMO's harmful effects. America, China and Canada have the highest amount of GMO productivity and consumption in the world. In a 2011 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, scientist Dr. Shiv Chopra revealed some of the devastating affects GMOs have had on human health. "Each year approximately 11 million Canadians suffer from food-borne disease (FBD). But there is more to FBD than food-borne infections. The Canadian food supply is now the most toxic on Earth, due to the indiscriminate use of hormones, antibiotics, and slaughterhouse waste, along with pesticides and pesticidedependent GMOs in food production. Sadly, the medical community is paying no attention to these causes of FBD [which] increase the incidence of cancer, dia- The carnivore vs. omnivore battle continues on and surpasses the stone age to evolve into vegan powers vs. mutant meat. Photo provided by Professor Linda Pershing. betes, hormone disruption, neurological, immunological and other metabolic disorders," Dr. Chopra stated. My initial suggestion would be to eradicate the exportation of meat and GMO productivity all together. The mass production of beef, in particular, has had a detrimental impact on the environment. Large-scale conversions of natural habitats to farmland have significantly contributed to the increase of harmful water pollution, soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Health and economic issues could be resolved if production was grown organically and sold locally. I understand that this ideological approach is most likely inapplicable for the time being. US political heads have made it clear that the high economic income of meat and crop exportation is preferable to that of our country's health and I do not think that we will be seeing a change in views for quite some time. However, I do believe that supporting the advancement of lab-made meat-will lead to better economic and environmental sustainability. In the last issue, Palmerin discusses the inclination towards "natural" meat. His interview with fellow CSUSM student, Elizabeth Cruz, suggests that i f introduced to the possibility of lab-meat, the general public would probably prefer to consume traditional meat. It is important to highlight that the majority of the 270 lbs. of meat consumed by the average American each year is genetically modified. Meaning, the meat that is being consumed, in logical sense, is already lab produced! There is little difference between producing meat within a lab and injecting caged, terrorized beings with plump- ^ ing toxins for the pleasure of human consumption. When it comes to lab-made meat, the only differences that I concern myself with are the benefits that may arise. With further study it is hopeful that the lives of innocent animals will be spared, the whole of the environment will be bettered and the human community will stop being poisoned. �101 THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, Nov 6,2013 OPINION Applauding paws for improvement T aking t ime t o d e-stress Better food to be offered at the University Student Union Step by step directions t o help ease y our pain B Y SAIKA P ITRE STAFF W RITER.

The food on campus is not terrible but it's not considered to be top cuisine either. There have been quite a f ew complaints concerning the food quality and with the construction of the University Student Union, there are new high hopes for tasty food. According to the University Student Union website, it is said that there will be many new food restaurants in ^the much anticipated Student Union including Sub-Versions, WOW café, Wholly Habaneros, Jazzman's Café and Bakery and the very well known Panda Express.

Not only will we have the five restaurants that were previously stated, but we will also have a new convenience store that will feature a Jamba ToGo! The establishment of the new University Student Union, which is to open in January, will be the perfect \yay for students to kick off the New Year. Whether it be before, after or in between classes, students will be able to have a fresh and exciting place to gather and socialize with other campus Cougars and maybe even meet new friends to add to your Cougar pack!

Slow Medicine approach to healthcare S U P P O R T I N G DUR C O M M U N I T Y ' S BY LISSETTE N UNEZ STAFF WRITER CSUSM welcomed a guest speaker, Dr. Dennis McCullough, a physician and geriatrician who has brought a compassionate approach to caring for the elders. McCullough visited campus on Oct. 23 and educated students about his ideas. Dr. McCullough's approach . begins with what he identifies as Slow Medicine, a paradigm for partnerships between elders and their loved ones who care for them. Moreover, it is a philosophy and set of practices for approaching your life as you age in relationship , with the health problems that come along in due time. Differing from other healthcare systems, Slow Medicine was strictly developed through the beliefs and ideas brought by older people on how elders should be cared for. Slow Medicine combines an understanding coming from gerontology, which is the boarder study of how older people are in- the world, along with study with their psychology, sociology, family relationships, economics and geriatrics; the study of health problems in order people. What Dr. McCullough hopes to bring is a connection with Slow Medicine and Palliative Care in our healthcare system. Palliative Care is a ELDERS care system for those who are diagnosed with a chronic illness. This form of care centers on the needs of the person and focuses on their quality of life, regardless of age. What Slow Medicine and Palliative Care share is a focus on the individual, an engagement of the family and also on the whole person. The only difference is that Palliative Care is a form of healthcare that focuses on people with a chronic disease, whereas Slow Medicine focuses just on the elderly. Slow Medicine demonstrates the most supportive approach when dealing with the care for our elders because as McCullough e xplains, "slow medicine brings G^nd Opening Specia Experience the ancient art of sugaring bait* remova Visit o ur new campus-close salon in San Eli jo Hills roe t hese amazing specials o n M y-sugaring t reatments: • Brazilian - (30 I O ther services - 50% off! % appointment, new clients only, discount limited t o one treatment area, offer exp 11/50/2013 Sugar San.

During periods of stress people often take faster and more shallow breaths. Slowing down and breathing deeply can help calm you, and that's a nice way to start combating stress. Organize yourself and prioritize. If you're overwhelmed with school, work and other stuff life can dish out to you, this is a must. Without straight priorities, everything can become a mess. I suggest starting out by making a small list of what's most important in your life. Following up on that, figure out what on that list is most urgent, and get that done first. That should take a load off your mind. You could spend some time meditating or if you enjoy yoga, you could probably use some of its techniques. If you like music, put on some relaxing music so you can tune out of the world for a little bit. Once you unplug, you'll be refreshed and ready to roll! and social lives. BREATHE. Well, no kidding.

DANNEN Nice to meet you! So my first question is, what kind of music do you listen to? "I listen to all kinds of music. I don't usually typically listen to scream-o or death metal, but I am into country, classical, Spanish music, as well as hip-hop and RNB. And I also love rap. I had like a rap phase, like five years in my life where I listened to nothing but rap." Metoo! Iamstillinthatphase. "I'm just always between everything. It depends on my mood or day. If I nefed something upbeat, or I might lis- ten to something romantic or I might listen to pop. If I have down time, I'll listen to classical or when I have downtime with a relationship, I'll listen to country." Okay, so my next question is what are you wearing today? "Today, I am wearing Aztec-sandals. They are a little bit brown. Also I am wearing a citizen watch that is eco-friendly just because I don't want batteries in a watch, also I think batteries are bad for the environment. The bracelet, I am wearing is Hello, I am going to ask you a few questions, and my first question is what kind of music do you listen to? "The type of music, I listen to is generally hip-hop, and I love underground music too. I also listen to all * < r types of music. I listen to country, alternative, electro, folk, and indie. Those re are the main ones I listen to." Nice! So my next question will be, what are you wearing today? "I am wearing some Vans O .T.W. high tops, some active jeans, some type of gray long sleeve, and an H&M green jacket with my Casio black watch and Rayban glasses."

Read how Flatlanding has changed his life. FEATURES After much anticipation from students and faculty in the California State University system, the CSU Board of Trustees (BOT) finally announced Timothy P. White as the seventh chancellor in the CSU system. Since Chancellor Charles Reed announced his retirement in May, Reed has continued with the responsibilities as Chancellor until the CSU BOT named a successor. White, who has served as University of California, Riverside's (UCR) chancellor for the past five years, will continue leading the nation's largest public university system of 23 campuses and manage the effects of recent budget cuts. White will also oversee the five percent tuition increase if Proposition 30 fails, an education incentive proposed by Governor Jerry Brown. If rejected, there would be a $250 million funding cut. Failure of prop 30 would also lead to a halt in enrollment of spring and fall of 2013 in most CSU campuses. White has stated, "We are going to be very focused in our efforts to talk about the consequences if that is unsuccessful but also the importance to California if it is successful.". White's leadership achievements include leading the growth of UC Riverside to a record-breaking 21,000 students while creating committees to develop plans in expending UCR's continuous development. He has led UCR to acclaimed ratings in the U.S. News and World Report's college rankings in academic quality and diversity. "I am humbled to have been chosen to lead the California State University system at such a transforma- tive time," White said in the CSU Office of Chancellor's press release. "As Chancellor, I look forward to engaging with faculty, students, staff, campus presidents and CSU trustees, along with the communities we serve, as we advance this vital system of higher education for California's future." 4 - CSUSM is on a roll w it h food Campus political clubs host f orum choices in the Big C a t Bistro.

The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at the University Village Apartment's (UVA) community building. "We're just trying to get people active and be as unbiased as possible.

O U R N E X T ISSUE October 24 There is some confusion, especially among students, about the highly discussed Prop. 32, which will definitely affect teachers, unions and special interest groups, but is not to be confused with Prop. 30. Prop. 32, also known as the "Paycheck Protection" initiative, is a hot topic on the ballot this fall. The ballot measure proposes to limit the political influence of labor unions by banning them from making contributions to candidates' political campaigns. Contributions made by independent corporations and political action committees (also known as PACs) would be unaffected. If Prop. 32 passes, it is estimated that there will be increased costs to the government for implementation and enforcement of the new requirements and those costs could exceed $1 million annually, but could potentially be offset by fines. The "Yes on 32" campaign is running with the slogan "cuts the money tie between special interests and politicians." One argument is that the teacher unions focus more on teacher-benefits, seniority and tenure than on the education that students receive. Without political protection, it would be easier to layoff teachers who are no longer meeting standards and are just using their tenure as a shield. PROP CONTINUED ON % Brown signs AB-970 to make school fees transparent BY FREDRICK MISLEH SENIOR STAFF WRITER On Sept. 27, Governor Jerry Brown signed into legislation Assembly Bill 970, which looks to make school fees more transparent, as opposed to being behind closed doors to the public and to CSU/UC students. The bill also requires the Board of Trustees for the CSU system to consult with student associations six months prior to implementing future fee increases in hopes of avoiding mass protests, similar to those experienced at CSU Long Beach in Nov. 2011. While the CSU system supports the bill, the UC system has been more hesitant and remained neutral. CSU legislative advocate Andrew Martinez told the Daily Caiifornian on Sept. 3, "Any time you put restrictions on tuition, that's a concern f o r the university, since almost all funding comes from either the state or tuition." Two Assembly members, Paul Fong (D-Cupertino) and Marty Block (D-San Diego) who proposed the bill felt that the process by which tuition was increased needed student and parent feedback and transparency. Brown seems to agree with their opinions. AB 970, also known as the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act, would be an addition to the Donahoe Higher Education Act, an already existing law from 1960.

Uncharacteristically static and defensive, the president was trounced by an enthusiastic, passionate and confident Romney through sheer deliverance alone. Early analysis of the debate had Romney holding the upper-hand in the debate across the board, even if a majority of viewers felt that * specifics as to solving the na^ tion's problems were scarce between both candidates. Debates can be the key to presidential election. They allow for candidates to showcase their personalities to the populace at large, and if the president still has any fight in him, he'll study this "defeat" and hopefully bring along some of the fire he has wielded in the past to his next encounter with Romney on Tuesday Oct . 16 . PROP FROM I . The "No on 32'? website says to "stop the special exemptions act" and accuses supporters of the proposition with elaborating the proposition in such a way that they are not banned from supporting their political interests, only unions. The top contributor to the Prop 32 opposition is the California Teachers Association. Variousfirefighters,law enforcement and nurse associations are also included in the list of supporters for the opposition. Proposition 30 is directed towards tuition and looks to tax the rich in order to prevent tuition hikes. This proposition does not address unions and political contributions. Polling thus far has shown that votes for and against Prop 32 have been very close. With all of the huge contributions that have been made to both the "Yes" and "No" campàigns, the outcome of the election for Prop 32 is obviously highly anticipated. vorite part about playing socSTAFF WRITER cer for CSUSM is definitely the brotherhood that was creSophomore Landon Sher- ated.

The time lost waiting for the CHP to transfer a call from their dispatch to the UPD dispatch could be costly. The number to reach the UPD dispatch is (760) 750 - 4567. Students, faculty and staff are all encouraged to save the number in their phones in the event of an emergency. If someone is using a cell phone that has T-Mobile or Verizon, their mobile provider they will automatically be connected to the UPD. When dialing 911 from any campus phone, the call will directly go to the UPD. Also, there are 65 blue light emergency telephones conveniently located throughout campus that can be used to directly connect with the UPD. The number to reach the UPD for emergencies is also the same number to request a campus escort. This is a service that is provided between dusk and dawn by Community Service Officers [students] until 11 p.m. and UPD officers thereafter to ensure everyone feels safe on the CSÛSM campus.

As part of the many expos and fairs that CSUSM hosts, the Career Expo showcases some of the job opportuni ties college students will encounter when they graduate, a Many available jobs were finely tailored to specific majors and fields of study, others focused more on in forming students about different companies and their workforces. Many students walked about the aisles of displays, with either resumes in hand or information at the ready to present to the recruiters. Oth ers simply used the opportu nity to began thinking of the options available for them after their college experience is complete. More than eager to share, many vendors handed out pamphlets as well as eyecatching trinkets to entice students to come and learn more about the jobs they offered. This is expected to be one of the last events of this scale for the semester, aside from an Etiquette Dinner. * which is scheduled for late October.

Named after former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, this pub offers an extensive beer selection (bottle, cask and tap), cocktails, and a full menu for lunch and dinner. If you're not 21 yet, it's not a problem because Churchill's is open to all ages (until 10 p.m., when the kitchen closes and it becomes a full bar). Menu items range from $4 to $22. For the price, you get a lot of food. Also, Churchill's offers seven daily deals throughout the week. The most famous one is Wing Wednesday, where for 50 cents per wing you can get either Churchill's signature BBQ sauce or buffalo wings. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can pay 60 cents per wing and have Ivan's Revenge (the hottest hot wings known to man). This is Churchill's signature BBQ sauce mixed with Guinness (no age limit on these , and my personal favorite), or you can get a weekly spe- cial sauce that changes every is the Sunrise Burger.

The event has been organize by the LGBTQA Pride Center. Inspired by Eve Ensler's confessional play "The Vagina Monologues," the "Coming Out Monologues" will feature CSUSM students talking about their own experiences with accepting their sexuality. The event is meant to empower and inspire members of the community to share their own experiences. Students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allies are encouraged to attend and participate. There, you can gain an understanding of the LGBTQA community and fend out ways to become an ally, who is a person of support to a this community. With attending and participating in the event, students are able to be educated in the different identities and diversity that exists on campus. In learning, students can be more aware of social justice awareness and have the opportunity to create an inclusive environment on campus. By implementing the importance for an inclusive campus, students will be able to feel safe and welcomed, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion. Students can find interesting information not only in the books at Kellogg Library, but in its décor as well. Since Sept. 25, the "More Than Casinos: California Indian Culture, Contributions and Communities" exhibit has been offereing visitors an inside look at the lives and culture of Native Americans. "The theme of the exhibit is to showcase a more holistic view of contemporary American Indian people," the Outreach Librarian and coordinator of the context, Melanie Chu said. It features items from local tribes, as well as the work of California Indian artists Gerald Clarke and Robert Freeman. Tribes that are represented in the exhibit include Pechanga, Luiseno, Pomo, Rincón, Karuk, Cahuilla, Kumeyaay, Acjachemen, Pauma, Chumash, and many others. Like the title suggests, the name "More Than Casinos" comes from the association of American Indians with casinos. The exhibit aims to show visitors that there is much more to the culture and the people. "It is important for many reasons," Chu said. "We have many tribal communities and reservations in San Diego County with a long culture, and local history to understand. We have a California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center on campus, and we have a small, growing number of American Indian students [at CSUSM]." This is the 18th Exhibit in the Context: Library Series on display in Kellogg Library. Each fall arid spring semester, classes and groups on campus incorporate what they have learned in the classroom when they visit the library to discuss the exhibits. "More Than Casinos" will be on display until Dec. 14. Photos by Katlin Sweeny AND 50% OFF ENROLLMENT!

B Y J ULIAN A S TUMP P C O - A & E EDITOR On Feb. 8, 2009, pop singer Rihanna was hospitalized after a heated argument with her boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown, left her with bruises and injuries to her face. Brown was later charged with felony assault and pleaded guilty in court. He was sentenced to five years of probation, domestic violence counseling and half a year of community service. Rihanna obtained a five-year restraining order prohibiting Brown from coming within 50 yards. Now, rumors have surfaced that they have been displaying PDA and going to concerts together. While celebrity love lives all just sound like a Taylor Swift song, the gossip about this onetime couple sends such a bad message to young couples and girls. Maybe she was into that and Brown was the inspiration for her song "S&M," and we'll never know and shouldn't really care. But feminism aside, really Rihanna? After your boyfriend beats you, you're still willing to give him another shot? There are so many things wrong with that. The only reason why I am Commuter-school prices taking a toll on students B Y J ESSI E G AMBREL L C O - A & E EDITOR With general semester parking permits at $338 and the "cheaper" X, Y, and Z parking at $254, everyone wonders why it must be so high? Other schools in the area including: SDSU - $135 per semester (day only), USD $140 per semester (full-time commuter), and Palomar *$40 (without a BOGW). Students disagree with how high the prices arerising,and think it is an unfair thing to do to already struggling college students. These days, with tuition prices creeping up as well as the student fees increasing every semester, it difficult enough for students to make ends meet.

I'm not implying it's their personalities that made them famous ... and a bunch of other people attempt to make them look good. They need to stop being selfish and think about the impact their actions have on their fans. I know how easy it is to be manipulated by what I see in magazines, particularly when we are young. Since then, I would say I have a good head on my shoulders and learned not to imitate celebrities. But what happens when young girls look at the magazines and think "Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together?" I guess its not such a bad thing if guys hit girls." And Rihanna's justification gives guys the message that girls like this. Where does it end? Society needs to stop blowing stories like this into our faces. What does it matter if they get back together in our daily lives? Society needs to stop obsessing over what these celebrities choose to do with their lives. If we don't, actions that Brown committed could possibly seem ethical. On Sept. 20, a ceremony was held at the McMahan House in honor of the inauguration of the CSU's Institute for Palliative Care at CSUSM. Among the speakers at the ceremony was jnone other than the outgoing CSU chancellor, Charles B. Reed. While not surprising that the CSU chancellor would attend such an event, what is surprising is that the two coeditors-in-chief of the Cougar Chronicle were the only two students who attended the event, and as press. No other student was aware of Reed's visit. No students from the nursing program attended, even though the Institute for Palliative Care falls under CSUSM's nursing program. While plenty of announcements regarding palliative care were made in the weekly Campus-wide Announcement emails sent out by the Office of Communications, none of them mentioned that Reed would be attending, let alone speaking, at the inauguration ceremony. Why all the secrecy? Granted, Reed is not the most popular figure within the CSU among students. After all, tuition and parking permit fees increased by 5 percent and faculty suffered a major pay cut under Reed's administration in November 2011 ; at the same time, presi- dents of the CSU schools, the Board of Trustees members, and Reed himself received raises to their overly bloated salaries. Perhaps Reed was concerned for [his] safety? That was the same reason he barred students from attending the November 2011 Board of Trustees meeting where the aforementioned tuition increases and pay raises occurred. After all, who could ignore the student protests that followed? Perhaps Reed feared he might have school supplies or, even more degrading, spare change thrown at him? Whatever the reason, it is an outrage. If we as students are asked to pay more into the system so that the CSU presidents, Trustees, and Chancellor can finally afford the latest model Lamborghini, we should be informed of when the Chancellor will be making a visit to our school (whether he's driving said Lamborghini or not). •Editor's Note: Chancellor Reed is publically noted as mainly utilizing chauffeur services. Campus interimPresidents are noted as having a $1,000 per month vehicle allowance, in lieu of a university-provided vehicle. Symbolic Motor Company of La Jolla estimates that the lease on a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe would be about $3,500 per month.

So why are our parking prices so high? "The parking at CSUSM is 100% self-support, we have no funds from the CSU school system since they decentralized the parking funds just before we opened this school. I would love to see it go down, but it all depends on the payment we have to make. We really try to make sure that the students know where to park and how to put their permits in place so that they don't get a citation," Director of Parking and Commuter Services, Belinda Garcia said.

As well as playing on campus» he reguarly plays at many clubs and bars in the San Diego, area as well as at Comic-Con International. STAFF WRITE R Academy Award-winning director Martin McDonagh has stunned movie critics once again with his latest movie "7 Psychopaths," which premiered Sept. 29 at the San Diego Film festival and earned 4 Vi stars. The film opens in wide release Oct. 12 with an all-star cast that includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Tom Waits, Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko. McDonagh wrote the script and directed the film. The film begins with Irishbred alcoholic screenwriter Marty Faranan (Farrell) who has a brilliant title for his next film, "7 Psychopaths," but no story. Marty keeps company with his girlfriend Kava (Cornish) and his best friend Billy (Rockwell). Billy makes his living by stealing dogs with his friend Hans (Walken) and returning them to their grateful owners for reward money. Billy's scheme goes terribly awry when he and Hans Writer and director Martin McDonagh being interviewed by a media representative at the 2012 San Diego Film Festival.

I had the opportunity to interview McDonagh at the film festival. Casually dressed in a button-up shirt and sleek blazer with jeans to finish off his stylish look, he spoke highly of the actors in his cast, many of whom he has worked with before. Farrell starred in McDonagh's Oscar-nominated film "In Bruges," and Walken and Rockwell starred in McDonagh's Broadway play "A Behanding in Spokane." "They're great, they're such great actors, fun guys to be around, so it's funny," McDonagh said. "I think most actors like good dialogue to play with. We had that, so yeah it was a joy. They're all kind of friends together as well, more like a family." His top 10 music hits are: I ."Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia 2.

Taylor Swift's love life is no different. However, not many young adults can say the ups and downs of love have won them six Grammy awards, 10 American Music Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards and six Academy of Country Music Awards, which is only the beginning of her sparkling career. Swift skyrocketed up country music charts in 2006 with her self-titled debut album and soon made her way over to the Top 40 pop charts. In her early songs, Swift wrote about her troubles in high school, such as trying to get the "jocks" to notice her and dealing with typical teenage dramas. She channeled her frustrations and heartbreak into an undeniable love for the people who identified with her happiness and/or hurt. On Oct. 22, Swift will release her fourth album, "Red." Now 22 years old, Swift could move forward in her songwriting to write about relationships from a more mature perspective. But the first single from the album, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," reminded me more of her high school breakup songs. As a "T-Swizzle" fan and a college student, I felt that "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was catchy, but something wasn't quite my taste. Maybe it was the unnecessary, excessive use of the word "like" or the overemphasizing of the word "ever," but it just seemed a bit childish to me. I was not impressed. Since I have been rooting for this album (and hopefully even a few singles) to win a Grammy or two, I was concerned. However, upon listening to her next single "Red," I felt much better. "Red" at first sounds like she has returned to her country roots, but then it transitions into a more modern musicality that fits with her more recent, critically acclaimed albums "Fearless" and "Speak Now." This song is about losing love and how "forgetting him is like trying to forget somebody you've never met." She presents a song that I believe many people can identify with, since both the intensity of pain and her music have matured. I mpro v spotlight: Fran k John Tabarez B Y M E L I S S A M ARTINE Z N EW S EDITOR Improvisational comedy is a good way to relax, let off steam and have fun. It's also a way to build confidence and self-esteem. For self-described "superduper senior" Frank John Tabarez, being a member of the CSUSM Improv Team has not only taught him valuable skills, it has also given him a family of friends on campus. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with Tabarez to talk about improv and what he has learned from it over the years. Question: What made you decide to join the improv team? Answer: Two years ago, my roommate Lance Rosenberger got me involved. After * a lot of persuading, he finally got me to go and I enjoyed it. Q: How would you describe improv? A: Improv is short for improvisation. We, as a team, get on the stage and literally improvise scenes f rom suggestions yelled out by the audience . Through their participation, we are able to make scenes and create characters in ridiculous scenarios. Q: Why is it important to have an improv team on campus? A: It is important because we, as a team, want to enter- . tain and make people laugh. It's also a way to come together. Regardless of your experience, we welcome all and give everyone the opportunity to learn. Q: How long have you been participating in improv? A: Technically, two years: I took half a semester o ff , but wanted to come back because I really missed performing. Q: How has perform-* ing on the improv team changed or impacted your life? A: Improv has really changed my life significantly. I am more outspoken and confident. There is something about being on a team and performing with your teammates that is so rewarding and satisfying.

Universal is America's oldest movie production studio, having been created by Carl Laemmle in 1912 who adopted an inter- est in Nickelodeon's movie theater which only charged a nickel for admission. Laemmle teamed up with other Nickelodeon moguls to form the Universal Film and Manufacturing Company. To commemorate their centennial accomplishment, Universal has released BluRay editions of their classics. First was "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Blu-Ray for the Academy Award winning film's special 50th Anniversary, followed by other popular movies, old and new, that have been on sale separately. These include "Jaws," "Brokeback f ountain, " "Jurassic Park" and "Sixteen Candles." For Halloween, a . limited edition box set called Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection has become avail- able to commemorate this milestone. The collection will include the celebrated original movie horrors like "Frankenstein," "Dracula" and the "Wolf Man" for their Blu-Ray premiere. On Nov. 6, a Universal 100th Anniversary Collection DVD set will be released. This would include 26 of the studio's old and new films from the dramatic "Schneider's List" to the family favorite "Despicable Me." The bundle features exclusive documentaries about Academy award winning films and legendary directors, with a CD of admired scores from the featured films to bring back the nostalgia of the 100 years past. Looking back on the studio's huge accomplishments, they didn't just leave a foot- print on the film industry. They left one in our households with innovative story lines that have been seen by our grandparents and parents, one that we may one day introduce to the next generation. Over the span of these 100 years, Universal has set the standard for movies improvement in the realm of technology and the digital aspects involved. OFF THE REEL Big name concerts already 'Argo' a Hollywood t hriller, t rue t o history on sale for 2013 B Y F REDRIC K M ISLE H SENIOR STAFF WRITER "Argo," a new film that opens in theaters Friday, is based on the true story of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979 and the hostage crisis that followed. Six foreign service officers escaped the embassy out the back door. They sought refuge at the British, Australian and New Zealand embassies but were turned away. Eventually, the Canadian ambassador secretly took them into his home. While they waited for a way out, the U.S. State Department collaborated with the Central Intelligence Agency to get the six Americans out. The job fell to technical operations officer Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck, who also directs the film). He was a career CIA spook with an expertise in extracting people from hot zones. He turned to his contacts in Hollywood who helped him set up a fake movie studio and movie shoot in Iran that could be used as a cover during the operation. The script they stumbled upon was "Argo," a sci-fi thriller set in an exotic Middle Eastern landscape. To legitimize the film, Mendez hired actors to dress up in costume and read the script in front of others. The six Americans were given Canadian identities and they served on the shoot as screenwriters, assistant producers and casting directors. When the movie wrapped, the six Americans left Iran with the rest of the film crew. If you want more details, you have to see the movie. Though the secret operation took place in 1979, it wasn't public knowledge until President Bill Clinton declassified it in 1997.

According to a press release issued by the California Faculty Association, the call for renegotiation stems from what many consider unsatisfactory hiring and pay practices intended as a response to the recession, but which have not shown improvement over the course of the last year. "Much of the focus is on local campus presidents who, during the recession, did not use their discretion in hiring and spending to correct whatever had become chronic problems involving unfair spending policies," according to the press release. "As a consequence of the economic issue, we wound up with a salary structure that both sides agree was broken," CFA President Lillian Taiz said.

The CFA letter disputed the conclusion made by President Haynes and the Senate that there were not sufficient funds to approve the Equity Pay Increase Program. "The CFA research office has since acquired more data and informed the chapter that for mere pennies on the dollar—just 0.37% of the university budget-you, President Haynes, could fund our campus' share of what it would take to close the gap between the CSU's and CFA's salary proposals," said Engen. Other campuses that took part in these protests include Cal States Bakersfield, Fullerton, Fresno, Los Angeles, Monterey Bay and Northridge, as well as at least 15 other state Universities. According to EdSource, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing met on Oct. 10 to discuss the annual report on teacher prep programs and concluded that programs dedicated to the preparation and credentialing of prospective teachers have declined by 52 percent in the last five years. From the actions of the CSU system since, it would seem the initiative has made progress. According to the LA Times, California State University announced on this past Thursday, Oct. 16, to have reached a renegotiated contract with the California Faculty Association. This new contract provides a 1.6 percent salary increase for teachers and faculty. Although the increase is tentative, the pact allows the parties to reopen negotiations for salary benefits for 2015 and onward, allowing faculty in the CSU system to keep a level of involvement in the contract. "The contract doesn't fix the problems, it just begins the road to fixing them," President Taiz said. "On the one hand, we're pleased with the outcome, on the other hand, we both recognize there needs to be improvements." G roups u rge c reation o f R aza C enter P roposal w ould p rovide r esources, s pace f or u ndocumented s tudents, o thers By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief Many members of the campus community have advocated that creating a Latino/a center at CSUSM is essential in order for the campus to become more diverse and welcoming. CSUSM is considered a Hispanic Serving Institution, which is an institution of higher education where at least 25 percent of the student body identifies as Hispanic or Latino/a. According to CSUSM's "2013 Cougar Stats," which breaks down the diversity of the student body, students that identified as Latino/a were the second largest population. Out of 10,610 students, 3 352 identified as Latino/a, only surpassed by 4,205 students that identified as Caucasian. This trend of a large Latino/a population extends to the San Marcos community itself, as reflected in the city issued demographics that reports that 37 percent of the community identify as Hispanic or Latino/a. This makes Hispanic/Latino/a individuals the second largest population to those who identify as Caucasian, which amounts to 49 percent. Proponents of implementing a Raza Center argue that due to the high Latino/a populations in the community and on campus, it is impossible to accommodate student needs without providing certain resources. Proposed resources to be offered at the Raza Center include assistance in completing graduate school applications, easing the transition for first generation college students, providing information on Latino/a culture and educating all students on how to be supportive peers. The center would also be a resource for undocumented students that struggle with, or feel uncomfortable disclosing, their identity in order to receive help with various processes on campus. "I think that the Raza Center would create a safe space for immigrant students that are afraid of coming out of the shadows," Co-Chair of S.TA.N.D., Julio Chavez, said. "It would provide that feeling of welcome and provide resources for us to figure out what we can do to become better informed persons and help out our families since most of us are first generation students that don't have the support we need." Various groups have been involved in the work to achieve getting a Raza Center on campus, including members of S.T.A.N.D., MJE.ChA, United Students of Color Coalition, the Office of Diversity and Ballet Folklorico. The plans for the Raza Center are detailed in the ASI Resolution for a Latino/ Hispanic Center on campus, which was approved by the ASI Board of Directors on Feb. 28, 2014, then pro- posed to President Haynes. Currently a committee has been created to research the plausibility of bringing a Raza Center on campus, tasks ranging from visiting Latino/a centers on other campuses to creating a timeline for when the center should be completed to finding a space at CSUSM for it. In addition, students have hosted four Raza Center Forums thus far to educate students on what the benefits to having the center are. "Our goals are to engage and support first generations students to improve retention and connectedness," Associate Vice President of Student Affairs, Scott Hagg, said at one of the forums. "We want to partner with students to develop an engaging and vibrant community to facilitate students' sense of belonging and campus pride." Many students believe that the Raza Center will function as a second home and motivator for individuals in search of their niche on campus. "This life is like a journey," said ASI Board of Director's VP of Marketing and CMO, Christian Cayetano. "Within a journey there are many obstacles that you overcome. But when things get tough, just know that there are others that will help and support you." Students in support of the center can post a photo of themselves with the hashtag #RazaCenterCSUSM to try to get the Raza Center trending. �One million dollars allocated to ACE By Jasmine Demers Community News Editor The ACE Scholars Services at CSUSM has accepted a one million dollar gift that will provide a new Center for the organization and will further the development of a program that enriches the lives of participating students. The Jan and Esther Stearns Center for ACE Scholars will be the official new home of the university program that assists former foster youth students in their journey to obtain higher education. Jan and Esther Stearns, who have adopted their own children from the foster system, are generously donating one million dollars towards ACE Scholars in order to show their overwhelming support for the program's purpose and goal. "We strongly believe in the mission of CSUSM's ACE Scholar Services Program. To be able to play a role in these students' continuing success and help them realize their dream of a college degree is extremely important to us," patron and member of CSUSM's Foundation Board, Esther Stearns, said. ACE Scholars Services began in 2007 with the intention to change the lives of foster youth and provide opportunities to achieve thengoals through education. Jim Mickelson, Director of the ACE Program, has been with the organization since its beginning and has worked as a social worker for 35 years. "Foster youth have the lowest educational attainment rates of all other non-traditional populations, with 49% who receive a high school diploma and 3% who ever step foot on a college campus. Of that 3%, only half will earn a Photo by Margaret Chantung ACE Scholar Services members lookforward to what new funding allocations will mean. degree. We developed a program that is geared towards supporting and guiding this population," Mickelson said. With 57 students in the program, more students per capita than any other University in the U.S., and an 88% retention rate, Mickelson takes pride in the ACE program and is ready to take this organization to new heights with the Center set to open in early Spring. "The new space that has been given to us has far more meaning to ACE students than just a computer lab, a training room, and a lounge. One of the things we hear from them is that they are given a place and that they are a part of a family. They have a sense of belonging and a sense of pride," Mickelson said. Olivia Battle, CSUSM Student and ACE Scholar, has been part of the program for 5 years and she is ready to see the change that comes with the new Center. "I think it's going to be headed by Dr. Louie F. Rodriguez, an author who has studied this issue in depth. According to a report published this past April by America's Promise Alliance, an organization that devotes itself to "helping to create the conditions for success for all young people/' the country's high school graduation rate has recently risen above 80 percent for the very first time in United States history. Moreover, the number of students enrolled in "dropout factories," "schools in which the reported twelfth grade enrollment is 60 percent or less than the ninth grade enrollment three years earlier," has significantly decreased by 47 percent. However, a sizeable gap still exists between Caucasian, and African American and Hispanic students. Shockingly, "one in four African Americans and nearly one in five Hispanic students still attend high schools where graduating is not the norm", according to an article published by PBS on Feb. 3 of this year. This substantially increases their odds of not finishing high school at all. In the United States today, the bulk of these dropout factories are located in urban areas, like Detroit and New York. In areas such as these, African American and Hispanic populations tend to be greater. Additionally, other factors, such as access to successful adults, living in a schooloriented home environment, regularly receiving positive messages concerning school achievement and being a part of a community with a strong support system (afterschool programs, neighborhood organizations, etc.), also play a crucial role in the determination of academic success. The report also states that "in spite of gains made by all students of color over great because right now everything is really squished together and we share an office with three other organizations. 1 think it will be great that we will have our own space," Battle said. She explains her own personal experience with the ACE program and how the support she receives from the counselors has helped her throughout her college career. "ACE scholars is a really great program because they aren't really focused on what happened in the past. They are focused on your future," Battle said. The new Center for ACE Scholars Services will be located in the University Student Union and will be celebrated with a ceremony in the spring of 2015. Jan and Esther Stearns will be honored for their dedication to this program and for the value that they hold for education.

The graduation rate for African American men continues to hover between 50 and 60 percent, well below the national average. In order to alleviate these issues, the report suggests that four key areas be addressed immediately: (1) chronic absenteeism, (2) the general lack of attention al- lotted to middle* grades, (3) the colossal amount of individuals between the ages of 18 and 24 who are, at present, not in school, not in possession of a high school diploma and not working and, lastly, (4) the shortage of positive role models in low-income communities. By concentrating of these issues, the graduation gap will begin to close and, it is likely that, the United States will be able to achieve a 90 percent national graduation rate by the year 2020.

Held during U-Hour on Thursday, Oct. 16, the lecture allowed CSUSM students to learn about Transgender Feminism and its role in the larger feminist community. Chelsea Brown, a student and peer educator at the Gen- der Equity Center, hosted the lecture event in order to educate other students about transgender issues and expose them to differing feminist perspectives. As a transgender individual herself, Brown wants to teach others about transgender identity and allow people to ask questions in a safe space. "I was male assigned at birth, and throughout my life I knew that I never felt way [male.] Freshman year of college was when I knew I could no longer handle the pressure to be male any longer," Brown said. In her lecture, she was able to tell her story and share her own experiences as a transgender individual, as well as discuss important feminist issues. "A core tenet of feminism is that biology does not and must not equal destiny," Brown said. "The idea that women should not be held down by traditional gender roles plays a major role in all feminisms. Trans Feminism expands on that premise to argue that people in general should not be con- fined by sex and/or gender." Transgender feminism, according to Brown, is an amplification of feminist views and progressive discourse. "Trans Feminism argues that everyone has a fundamental right to determine their own identity and no one has the legitimate authority to define a 'real woman' or 'real man,'" Brown said. Brown explains that there was a time when transgender individuals were viewed as mentally ill. The American Psychiatric Association has since corrected that notion, but the dysphoria that a transgender person feels is still considered a mental illness. "Psychiatrists believe that the only way to cure dysphoria is to undergo gender transition because it is easier tofixthe body than the brain," Brown said. Brown also discusses the ways in which Trans Feminism is disputed in the larger feminist community and the transphobia that has been made clear by particular radical feminist groups. "Transphobia in the feminist community isn't new and it continues to be pro- moted by individuals who are known as Trans- Exclusionary Radical Feminists. Their ideas contradict the entire idea of feminist progression," Brown said. Throughout the lecture, students found themselves engaged in a constant dialogue and were eager to ask questions. Chelsea Brown is hopeful that she will host more lectures before the end of the semester and encourages anyone with further inquiries to contact her through the Gender Equity Center.

In short, these 'invisible' disabilities are too serious to not be recognized as true disabilities. Even if a returning veteran is fortunate to not develop PTSD, "100 percent come back with readjustment issues," Costello said. "All of a sudden, [these veterans havel no control, no say" in the lives of their loved ones, who have gone on with life while the veterans were serv- to life being managed," Costello said, is one reason why so many veterans have issues with integrating back into everyday life, "[unaware] they are a different person." And of the self-identified disabled veterans on campus, John Segoria of the Disabled Student Services says he "only sees a snapshot of what's out there. [The problem] is bigger than people think." Perhaps that is because veterans with PTSD, MST and T BI do not want to admit this condition, because if they do, someone might ask them what the trigger was. worst day or if they killed anyone," Segoria said. When the veterans go to seek help anywhere, be it the Veterans Center in San Marcos City Hall or Disabled Student Services, they will find compassionate people who understand these types of disabilities and want to help. The Disabled Student Center offers exam time extensions and a referral system that helps the veterans seek the correct help. The VA Centers offer a slew of services ranging from individual/group counseling, workshops on stress, anxiety others, counseling for MST, PTSD and bereavement. There are many resources out there for veterans who are struggling, but Costello sees "22 to 23 year old veterans who don't see 18 to 20 year olds as their peers." The disparity of experiences between those who have served and those who have not adds an extra level of isolation for veterans.

F irst A sian P acific I slander s orority t o b e e stablished Knowledge, Perseverence, Diversity and Legacy seeks to uphold the values of its name By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief KPDL features a multidimensional college experience that allows its members to prosper as individuals, community members and students. KDPL, a sorority interest group that has been on campus since 2009, has been moving towards their goal of establishing the first Asian Pacific Islander sorority at CSUSM. The group has been working with Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Nicki Croly, and the existing Greek community in order to achieve this goal. According to KPDL President, Trisha Llanes, this dream is transitioning towards becoming a reality, approximately in 2015. Reflective of its name, which stands for Knowledge, Perseverance, Diversity and Legacy, KPDL works to instill aspects of each of these four "pillars" in their members. To incorporate Knowledge, the group hosts a weekly, three hour "Study Hours" session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, where members meet up to do homework together. Knowledge and Diversity are represented in events such as their weekly Hulu and Tahitian classes, which are open to all members of the campus community. Four-year KPDL member, Heaven Quiban, teaches these classes at 5 p.m. every Thursday in Arts 101. KPDL tries to get as many student orgs, as possible to learn at least one dance for the end of the year luau as a way to come together and celebrate while teaching others about API culture. KPDL also participates in events like the Breast Cancer Walk, beach cleanups and Friendship • <jfemes. KPDL alms^to iriclude all students iii their meetings and events, not limiting themselves to those who identify as API. "One of the biggest misconceptions about joining a culturally specific org. is that you have to be fit into that to be part of that group," Quiban said7 "A lot of people have asked us if they can join even though they are not Asian and don't know anybody that is API. [With KPDL], we're highlighting diversity and we're trying to break down the differences between us. Uniqueness makes us special, but together we are complete." KPDL President Trisha The members of KPDL look forward to transition towards sorority status. Llanes explained that having the group on campus has made her experience at CSUSM more enjoyable and increased her friend base. "I joined the spring of my freshman year and liked it immediately," Llanes said. "The past presidents and members are the ones that have really motivated me to get where I am now. I would like to see KPDL expand so that it inspires other API women to come onto this campus. We need to bring that diversity on campus, and we're here to make a statement." Quiban joined KPDL the fall of her freshman year, and expressed how much the members rely on one another. She explained that when KPDL is established as a sorority, it will help the campus community become even more diverse. "I hope that new members will always learn the roots of where KPDL came from and how hard it has been for us to earn Greek letters," Quiban said. "I want them to have an appreciation for what they will have when they become a sorority because we have Photo provided by KPDL worked on this for so long." KPDL meets every other Tuesday, the next meeting taking place during UHour on Tuesday, Nov. 4 in Academic Hall 205.

Well that realm is real. It can be found in front yards, public parks and residential streets, to mention a few. This world is none other than the world of sports. The cliché of "it doesn't matter if you're purple, green or orange" applies liberally in this domain of life. If you have ever played on an organized sports team in a league, your coach would be the first to tell you that it doesn't matter who you are; if you can play you are going to play. The same doesn't hold true in other areas such as positions of power in the workforce or media representation. In other terms, you are not going to notice as many Denzel Washington's or Jackie Chan's as you would a Tom Cruise or even a Brad Pitt. Then we have sports, a magnificent creation indeed. Let us take a second to delve into a diverse scene. Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin; at least one of those names should ring a bell. Now what do all these people have in common? They each are players for the Los Angeles Lakers and love playing basketball. The diverse and uniqueness of those players is that they are Canadian, Black-American and Chinese-American, respectively.

"Athletes and coaches have the same goals, to get better as a team and to win, so why should race or background have an effect on this?" Whether it be for intramurals or the official school teams, CSUSM is littered with players of different backgrounds playing side by side. Why diversity is so unaccounted for elsewhere in life can be speculated, but it's clear that sports breeds diversity. When you toss in factors like passion, determination and competition, what is there not to love? CSUSM men's soccer team prepared for stretch run Team aims for s e c o n d A.I.I title in four years By Erik Sandoval StaffWriter Students have taken a stand against rape and sexual assault in an effort to refocus the conversation around supporting survivors. Demonstrators rallied during U hour on August 26 in Library Plaza with posters, chants and demands for change. Supporters included Cathy Nguyen from Student Health and Counseling Services, as well as members of STARS, Active Minds, the Health and Wellness Center, Sigma Chi, MEChA, STAND, the United Students of Color Coalition, BSU and other CSUSM professors and faculty. The rally was organized in response to the pending investigation of the Tau Rho chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. UPD issued a crime report regarding allegations that in May of this year, a CSUSM student was sexually assaulted at an off-campus party hosted by members of TKE. Students have responded to these claims by protesting against the victimization of survivors, notably those at CSUSM. Karen GuzmXn, who organized the rally along with members of Feminists Anonymous, did this to specifically offer support to survivors of all sexual violence. "Being survivors ourselves, we know what this process feels like/' GuzmXn said. "There Is~ so much that goes into being victimized and we just want this survivor to know that we stand behind them." Although TKE is not a recognized organization at CSUSM, the alleged sexual assault is closely associated with students and the surrounding campus community. Jeff Salas, the chapter President of TKE, explains that fraternity members are doing what they can to aid the investigation. "We have been cooperating with anything that law enforcement has asked us to do to help with the situation," Salas said. The university also responded to these reports by focusing on student welfare and encouraging any victim of sexual assault to take advantage of confidential counseling services. "The safety and well-being of our entire campus community is our highest priority," CSUSM's Public Information Officer, Margaret Chantung, said. "We will not tolerate nor ignore sexual assault and we will hold members of our community accountable for their actions." Chantung emphasized the university's involve- Photo by Cody Cook CSUSM Men's soccer team warms up before practice in preperation for title game. ment in this investigation by sharing their partnership with the California Attorney General's Office arid local law enforcement.

As of Monday, Oct. 20, cougars hold a record of 16 - 8 on the season. Cougars seem to have struck a goldmine in its freshman class. Middle-blocker Kristen Parker, libero Samantha Flores and outsidehitters Cheyenne Richards and Ashley Kaylor have all found a place in the rotation during almost every set. Kristen Parker receives exceptional praise from Leonard. "She's been really consistent for us, especially for a freshman," Leonard said. "She's a kid that comes in there with no fear, she's a gamer. I think we see her best when she's in pressure situations." Senior setter Alyssa Foster continues to demonstrate exceptional leadership on her team. Foster methodically distributes the ball to every one of the Cougar hitters on the court, often displaying her incredible volleyball IQ. Composed and calm, nearly every set is dictated by Foster, implementing lessons learned from Coach Leonard during practice. "Things we've been working on in practice is putting ourselves in pressure situations in order to find a way out of that and still be aggressive," Coach Leonard said. "More importantly, mentally; they have to keep their mental focus and stay aggressive. We can't get complacent." Junior outside-hitter Jordan Banich and senior outside-hitter Alyssa Hubbard have combined to tally more than 400 kills over the course of the season. "My setter is really good," Hubbard said. "I trust everyone around me and I know I have to put the ball away, there is really no other option. Any way I can help my team to get a victory." Cougars find consistent effort and production from their role players sophomore outside-hitter Brooke Butler, sophomore middlehitter Morgan Willis and senior middle-hitter Kelli McLin, many times helping to tip the scale in CSUSM's favor during matches. "We have players coming of the bench and making impact points, which is really hard to do," Leonard said. "It's easier to be a starter, but it's more difficult to come off the bench and have to perform right away under pressure." The depth on the Cougars' bench seems to go on endlessly as CSUSM continues to find excellent contribution from sophomore setter Taylor Harris and sophomore middle-blocker Markisha Henderson-Diaz. Despite earning plenty of success against other teams in the A.1.1. and N.A.IA. conferences, Cougars are still looking to improve upon their volleyball proficiency during competitive matches. "There are definitely areas of our game we need to work on and address," Coach Leonard said. "However we're battling. We're back to that gritty determination, which is what we really want to build up towards the end of the season for a championship." CSUSM will host only four more home games before competing in the A.I.I. tournament on November 14-15 in Denver, Colorado. "This is exactly where we want to be," Coach Leonard said. "Rather than fear that moment, this gives us an opportunity to really embrace it." dent concern and public awareness of sexual assault in the community. Karen GuzmXn and other members of Feminists Anonymous explain that being able to confront this violence is the most important thing. "We want to create a campus who is talking about it. We want to facilitate those discussions and eventually change our campus climate," GuzmXn said. Food Profil Benefits of brown rice The healthier alternative to white rice By Beulah Supriya StaffWriter Rice has been grown and consumed mainly in Asian countries, but its use is now slowly catching up here in the United States. Brown rice is not a different type of rice, rather an unrefined version of the white rice we now eat but with much more nutrients than its refined counterpart. Though it takes almost double the amount of time to cook it, approximately 40 minutes, brown rice is definitely worth the wait. Whenriceis refined, all that is left is starch. Even in the production of enriched rice, quite a few essential minerals are lost in the process which cannot be regained. It is not only consumed as a grain, but also as oil which is made from the by-product of refining brown rice into white called rice branning. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, rice bran oil can help reduce cholesterol. One cup of brown rice gives 5 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight. Consuming 100 grams of brownriceproduces 111 calories, which is quite small when compared to white bread that gives 289 calories, more than double the amount found in brown rice (USDA Database). This rice is also known to contain a trace element called Selenium. "Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer," said the Food and Drug Administration. So be it for health or just to have variation in diet, brown rice seems to be the right companion. �Think pink in October, spread breast cancer awareness By Ciara Walker StaffWriter The girls, boobies, TaTas, fun bags, hooters, chests...whatever you call them, October is all about Breast Cancer Awareness.

You are your own healthcare advocate and should begin with self-examinations. Although, self-breast exams should not be used as a sole means to identify cancer, just an aid. The purpose is for you ton become familiar with your breast tissue, so in the event a lump appears you will be able to tell your doctor whether or not it is abnormal. Breast cancer is NOT limited to women. Although a rare occurrence, men can develop the disease as well. However, women are nearly 100 times more likely to be diagnosed than men; breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women in the United States. The exact cause of breast cancer is unknown besides genetics, as is the case with most cancers, but there are a few lifestyle changes associated with decreasing the likelihood of breast cancer developing: Maintain an active lifestyle by exercising and eating a well balanced diet, stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Heart The Campus Recreation Center at CSUSM has started an intramural flag football team for students. Women are not always the first athletes you think about when you think of football; many players on these teams aré men. One girl who decided it would be fun to join is transfer-student Rashell Mascardo. This is not her first time playing flag football though. Rashell has been in the military for seven years and played flag football for fun while she was deployed in Africa. She spoke about her experience so far as being the only girl on the flag-football team. "Sometimes it is not fair because I have to prove myself so my teammates could trust me," Mascardol said. "The fact that I was a complete stranger made it a little bit harder."

Hispanic/Latino individuals associate exercise with the strength and stamina that are attained through the amount of physical labor they do associated with their jobs. Strength and stamina carries a certain level of pride with it. This pride keeps Hispanics/Latinos from disclosing any sign of weakness, especially regarding health. For example, Mexicans are historically known to be taught to focus on the now. Therefore, if he or she has experienced an injury or a health condition in the past that is not present at a doctor's visit, it will likely go unreported. More often than not, Hispanic/Latinos are reluctant to seek treatment for health issues at all. Many Hispanics/Latinos believe in balance, if that balance is disturbed they often rely on natural or h omeopathic remedies, as well as their deep spirituality to correct it. Part of the Hispanic/Latino culture is that many of them do not believe in processed or pre-packaged foods. Every meal is homemade, prepared with the utmost love and care. Traditional Mexican meals include: beans, rice, potatoes and tortillas. "My family always says that they will eventually die Photo by Cody Cook CSUSM has become a haven for witness and welness for members of all races. somehow, so they may as well enjoy what they are eating," a Mexican student at CSUSM, Luis Carrillo, said. Carrillo has chosen to live his life differently from his traditional Mexican family. Carrillo served in the military and is pursuing his degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in physical education, so that he can pass on his healthy habits to school aged children. Hispanics/Latinos might h é s keptical a bout h ealth care but many Filipinos, on the other hand, delve deeply into the health care field. Some Filipinos dedicate themselves so selflessly to the field of health that they often forget about their own well-being. Filipinos, like Hispanics/Latinos, also have a culture full of hard work, tradition and great food. Filipinos are culturally known to measure their success based on their hard work and busy lifestyle. Consequently, stress often accompanies hard work.

The NIH also states that hypertension is especially prevalent in the Filipino commu- wellness in order to educate others. Health promotion is important in order to educate individuals about wellness. "As American Indians, we view health as being important because diabetes is high among our race," an American Indian student at CSUSM, Linda Nieto, said. "We know that we have a genetic predisposition to the disease, so we try to exercise and eat right but we are not perfect and many of us still need more education on how exercise and eating right affects blood sugar levels." Nieto is a Kinesiology major here at Cal State, who hopes that her emphasis in exercise science will help her educate her family, especially her son, on how to live a healthier lifestyle on the reservation. D iversityresources .com says that animal foods, fried bread and Indian corn are all considered 'strong foods' that promote good health. In reality, these foods are high in cholesterol and can be linked to diabetes. According to diversityresources. com, tribal religion and traditional healers continue to be used to diagnose and treat American Indian patients on reservations. Although, it is common for Native Americans to seek modern medicine advice in order to treat symptoms as well as a tribal physician to eliminate the cause. As you can see, our campus is a melting pot. There are so many different cultural views on health, wellness and exercise. Yet, we all have a common goal and that is to be the generation that changes the cycle of poor lifestyle habits. Perhaps, the recent health revolution is not just a fad, but a new understood way of life that we can all help share with one another here on campus.

By Joshua Copeland StaffWriter Need a stress-relieving escape in between classes? The CSUSM Clarke has got you covered. On Tuesdays and Thursdays at U-hour, The Clarke provides a free Ashtanga Yoga class. Yoga is an exercise that improves strength, flexibility, concentration and balance. It encourages meditation and clarity and allows you a brief intermission between the everyday school grind. The class begins with everyone sitting in a big circle (depending on how many participants arrive to the class). Sometimes the instructor will sit in the middle of the circle or join the participants on the outside. As the class progresses, the instructor will carefully monitor the participants in the class, ensuring the safety and support of the poses. If a pose proves to be too difficult, the instructor will provide you with an alternate position with equivalent effectiveness to fit individual needs. "The main goal is to teach you guys [students] the physical practice of yoga but then also to show you a little bit that it's more than just a workout," yoga instructor, Louise McDugal, said.

CSUSM student Amber Mahmood, president of the Muslim Student Organization, explains that a major component in the group's mission statement is unity. Mahmood also emphasizes that the organization is open to all students, Muslim or not. "[Our mission statement is] to unite both Muslims and non-Muslims in order to better understand one another," Mahmood said. With many different ste- reotypes and misconceptions out there, MSA encourages students to understand what being Muslim means. "It means being the best possible person one can be," Mahmood said.

In addition, MSA is holding their biggest event of the year—Islam Awareness Week. "Each year MSA holds Islam Awareness Week, an entire week of lectures and events dedicated to chspeiling misconceptions and eradicating stereotypes about Muslims and Islam," Mahmood said. "We have knowledgeable scholars who have volunteered to come to CSUSM and speak about a variety of topics (Islam in the Media, Jesus in Islam, Muslims: America's newest minority, Islamic influence in Chicano Culture)." These lectures will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday, Oct. 20 through Thursday, Oct. 23 in UHall 100. Mahmood and fellow members of MSA encourages newcomers from all around the campus to join or to attend at least one meeting. The org. currently has biweekly meetings held during U-hour on Thursdays. The org. gathers at this time in order to discuss their thoughts on a variety of informative topics and issues like Feminism in Islam and Love in Islam. For more information on the org. email MSA at m sa.csusm@gmail.com. "We strongly encourage everyone to come out and attend at least one event," Mahmood said.

P riority Christian Challenge discusses c ommunity S trengthening f aith w ithin C SUSM By Celeste Morales Outreach Assistant CSUSM student org. Priority Christian Challenge offers a safe environment where students can come together and participate in shared prayer along with other events within the community. The organization is spiritual based and promotes connections and fellowship among students. Their main focus is to help one another stay on the spiritual path through mentorship. CSUSM student Karri Vitor, president of Priority Christian Challenge, wants to put the organization on CSUSM's radar as a good organization to join for those students who want to build strong relationships with each other as well as help others in the community. One unique feature of Priority Christian Challenge is that they interact with a large part of the international student population. "There is something like forty-two different countries represented at this school who are looking for a way to connect," Vitor said. "We try to help with that." The faculty advisor for the org., Karno Ng, administers the International Coffee Hour where the organization comes together and assist these international students with transitioning into CSUSM. Many of these students are looking tofinda sense of cohesive community. Priority Christian Challenge creates this community during meetings where students come together and participate in Bible study and fellowship. Vitor defines fellowship as means of communication that brings students closer to one another and to God. "Its a type of Bible study that is concerned with the connection with Jesus," Vitor said. "We hold each other accountable." One of the major events they have coming up this November is called Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child allows students within the organization to gather donated clothes and food from around campus and put them in shoe boxes. Once they have them all packaged, organized teams will ship the donations to c ountries in need. The organization also recently had an event called "See you at the Pole" where they organized a public prayer by theflagpoles. The group prayed for the campus, the community and the rest of the world. Some of the students from Intervarsity, a nother s piritual based organization on c ampus, joined the organization in prayer. 5 Priority Christian Challenge hosts such events in hopes to help strengthen the faith of those students who attend. The organization wants to provide the new members a bit "There is something like fortytwo different countries represented at this school who are looking for a way to connect/ of encouragement in continuing to follow their faith and to help students realize that there are others who are willing to pray with them. Vitor also believes that providing a place for students to pray gives people a sense of camaraderie. "This "also inspires some of our members to be more aware of the concerns of others and the community that we are in, since we think about them as well when we are praying" Vitor said. Priority Christian Challenge is open to all students on campus, and for those interested in joining, the org. meets from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday in the USU 2310-A. �8 Z SSSLn*^ Features Editor: The Cougar Chronicle, Wednesday, October 22, 2014 F E AT U R E S —n Spetletz-homemade brown butter egg noodles Traditional German recipe made easy By Chelsey Schweitzer Senior StaffWriter If you are in the mood for a noodle dish with a twist to break up the routine of regular old spaghetti or macaroni and cheese, then this German dish is for you.

For international students Brian Park and O.C. Si, coming to CSUSM is a means for self-exploration. Brian Park, a Business Major, came to CSUSM to extend his study of English. He finds American culture fascinating, and very different from his home in South Korea. "In South Korea everywhere is busy," Park said. "There are too many people and too many cars." But here at CSUSM, Park expresses how friendly and helpful everyone is, whereas in South Korea, people might be less inclined to ask for, or give, assistance and advice. Park believes that studying English will help him succeed in the business world. He hopes to one day help his father manage their family-founded construction business, Shintaeyang. Photo by Chris Morales International students enjoy doin school work at the Global Education room. "English is good for me since English is a prominent language throughout the business world," Park said. Another international student here at CSUSM also believes how essential language can be in everyday life. Communications major O.C. Si wants to learn all about the intricacies of English. Si is originally from Macao, China and was influenced to come to CSUSM by her brother. "My brother studies here, and he said it's a good school and a nice, quiet place," she said. Si also expresses how busy she has been since settling in. "I have lots of things to do: get a phone, water, gas, an apartment," she said. Despite the many extra responsibilities that are part of starting a life in a new country, Si is excited to be here. She loves the freedom of American culture, delights in the English immersion and appreciates being part of a diverse community. Though both O.C. and Brian are far from home, their experiences here at CSUSM are an exciting and satisfying first step towards their trans-global futures.

From the first graduating class of 1991 to the 2014 fall semester's record enrollment, CSUSM has come a long way. As the years passed and more students were accepted, the university was expanded, new buildings were added and new programs were founded. "It has changed a lot since I started in 1991. Initially we had only a couple of hundred students without a campus. We rented a part of Business Park by Jerome's," said Literature & Writing Professor, Dr. Yuan Yuan.

The CSUSM campus has also been recently ranked as one of the best universities in the area. "As a relatively speaking young institution, it is admirable to be ranked among the top 20 best universities in the area," said Gezai Berhane Associate Director of Operations of Dean of Students Office. Another notable accomplishment attained by CSUSM is the recently awarded Higher Education Excellence in Diversity or HEED award.

"We have five years of strategic planning, and based on COUGAR that plan we have been implementing a lot of things" CSUSM's accomplishments and progress can be first attributed to its unique history.

"CSUSM was founded in 1989, and that's when they started hiring faculty and staff administrators," he said. "I was one of thefirststudents enrolled in the fall of 1990." CSUSM was the twentieth campus in the CSU system at the time and was headed by Bill W. Stacy as itsfirstpresident. Alongside President Stacy, there were 12 other founding faculty members. In Feb. 1990, CSUSM introduced its first junior and senior class with an enrollment size of 448 students while the CSUSM campus Was still under construction. In May of 1992, CSUSM had its first official commencement ceremony prior to the grand opening of the CSUSM campus. In 1996, Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II pledged a donation to the school which helped support the future development of the Kellogg Library. Moreover, in 2010, the university celebrated its twentieth anniversary, and the enrollment of students reached 9,767 and has continued to grow since.

Childhood Halloween celebrations were riddled with candy, trick or treating, scary movie nights, halloween parties with friends and getting dressed in flirty or scary costumes. When asked about Halloween traditions, our fellow Cougars grew excited and nostalgic from the simple thought of Halloween alone. CSUSM freshman Josh Morones reminisced about Halloween time with his friends and family. "When I was younger, or still, my neighborhood has been one of the most popular destinations for trick or treating," Morones said. "We would get people from Tijuana, we would get buses with tons of people and my street would get totally packed. We would also get a huge mob of people, some would be twenty-five and others would be two years old. It would just What halloween costume will you wear this year? be a whole bunch of people trick or treating together." CSUSM junior, Nicholas Bruno, pondered his early childhood as he mentioned that he does not currently have much of a tradition as he once did. However, as a child, he would get ready for the festivities by preparing their home for the mysterious night to come. "As a kid, I'd paint ghosts, pumpkins and spooky things on my window," Bruno said. CSUSM junior, Diana Garcia, celebrates the same way every year, while sometimes helping kids in the process. "I watch Hocus Pocus every Halloween either by myself or with others and since I've been working with kids at Project REACH, I have them watch it too," Garcia said. CSUSM junior, Michael Martinez, sticks close to his Mexican heritage as he describes that he and his family commemorate Dia de Los Muertos. R E S T A U R AN T "Our Halloween tradition is the Day of the Dead," Martinez said. "We would place a table in our living room and just have it open to put food on it for those who have passed away; the ones (foods) we know they liked, and we'll leave it there for two nights." Regardless of what Halloween traditions students have grown up with-trick or treating, partying, apple bobbing or just kicking back watching Halloween classics—it still remains a holiday that brings out the kid in us all. Whatever Halloween shenanigans you're involved in, be sure to have fun and be safe out there Cougars.

H alloween a round t he w orld By Alex Maravillas StaffWriter There are different cultures around the world that celebrate Halloween, some are unique while others are rooted in tradition. Halloween originated from Ireland and was a Pagan Celtic practice. Youngsters wore outfits and went trick-o-treating and most individuals went to occasions or gatherings with family and companions. In Latin America and Spain, for three days, individuals praised on All Souls Day(s). On the third day they have a traditional feast, which begins on Oct. 31. The end goal is to demonstrate their endowment for the spirits. There is also an altar with an offering to honor the dead. The French celebrate Halloween by going to parties, social gatherings, bars or clubs. Individuals celebrate by hosting parties with scary themes or by going trick-o-treating. Lastly, in the Philippines, Halloween lasts up to three days and is built upon a Catholic foundation. Similar to Spain and some Latin American countries, Hal- loween in the Philippines begins from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. where Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are used to remember the deceased. During these two days, families gather at cemeteries to honor the dead. Some individuals actually live in the cemetery in homes made out of coffins. Halloween is celebrated all around the world. Furthermore, the common phenomenon that is Halloween connects students' traditions with the traditions of other countries such as Ireland, Latin America, Spain and France.

One way to learn about a new culture is to build a friendship with someone who has a different cultural background than you. Another way is to attend the diversity events offered on campus. I've attended two such events this month that each taught me something new about cultures other than my own. The first event was called "A Land Twice Promised," and was about encouraging a better understanding Check out diversity events on campus of the complex relationship between Israelis and Palestinians. The event involved Israeli storyteller Noa Baum doing a theatrical one woman performance which explored the idea that perhaps Israelis and Palestinians have more in common than they think. Something she said that really stuck out to me is that "once you hear someone's story, there's no going back." Which leads us to the wise words of Gene Knudsen Hoffman when he says, "An enemy is one whose story we have not heard." The second event was the first installment of the three part Community and World Literary Series that's being put on by the Literature and Writing Department.

This event shed a new light for me on the struggles being faced by Native Americans in our society. It was also a great time because Jensen's work is funny and refreshing. All of this to say that attending the different events and lectures which the campus offers for free to students is a fruitful way to learn new things about different cultures. I encourage all students to attend at least one such event each semester in order to engage more fully with the diverse world that surrounds us all. •HELP W N E ATD $15.25 To Start INC. 5 00 C ompany -Flexible Hours, "Training provided. -Base+commission. •lSend Resume tfo olHV/ViVjniYiKin <n �Opinion Editor: Noelle Friedberg cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com Letter to the Editor 11 Q u e s t i o n i n g d i v e r s i t y at C S U S M By USCC Contributor Knowledge, Awareness, Equity, Lunch official seal Dear CSUSM, As United Students of Color Coalition, we are taking the initiative to communicate the vision we have for CSUSM in hopes of helping our campus live up to its core values, mission and vision statement. Despite reaching the 25 year anniversary, it is both tragic and unacceptable that acts of racial and hatred Globalizing education benefits students By Alhijaz Althagafi Contributor It has been said by Kofi Annan that "arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity." Edward Fiske says that if Americans are to continue to prosper and to exercise leadership in this new global context, it is imperative that that we understand the new global forces that have both shaped, and been thrust, upon us. The alternative is to be at their mercy. Technological advancement has created a new global culture. Each part of the world today is connected with each other. A company in Korea can sign a contract with another company in the U.S without physically meeting. A family in South Africa can watch the National Geographic channel at the same time as a family in India, both in their own language. Globalization and technological advances have played major roles in shifting the world toward a common culture, and it also enhances education and peace by allowing learning, understanding and connection between diverse groups. Diversity is not only about race, ethnicity and gender, but also religion, sexual orientation, status and age. Globalization and diversity go hand-in-hand. The United States has worked to apply diversity and globalization to the education system, e specially in higher 6 e ducation. But why is g lobalizing our campus i mportant? The first reason is expanding experience. For some college students, interactions on campus might be the first time they have had interpersonal communication with people from different groups. A university campus is like opening the door to the entire world without the need to travel. The second reason is to improve social development. By interacting with people { from different backgrounds you can partner and develop relationships. Sometimes we have boring conversations with friends who have everything in common with us, which is why interacting with people from different backgrounds is so important. The third reason is that it prepares students for career success. Emerging markets mean economic growth, and therefore the need to prepare students for jobs that require new skills. Students will soon be looking for a place in an interconnected world as never before. The changing roles of the international community, the changing face of U.S neighborhoods, the challenges facing environmental, health and science, must be understood and managed by a new generation of workers, citizens and leaders. Dealing with all of these will require an education system that prepares future employees to lead in a global context. Why is Globalizing on Campus important" Joining BSU changed my college experience racism continue to transpire on this campus. Over the last few years there have been incidents on campus that have served to increase the racial division among faculty, staff and students, including racist and sexist grafitti, harrassment of certain faculty and students and acts of cultural misappropriation. These incidents have negatively affected our community in ways that makes students feel like their culture is under attack. Recently the of their though these concerns tend to be thrown under the rug rather than immediately addressed.

A university that does not have enough faculty of color, that does not have ethnic centers, that does not have Chicana studies, Black studies, or Asian studies; and a university that has continued to fail students of color on an institutional level is not diverse. While we acknowledge that the university is aware of these issues, we feel as cause I do love seeing people on my campus that resemble many different shades. But, with that said, I do believe as a campus we can do much more to expand diversity. Being a college student, it is my goal to graduate and get a career, but in doing so I want to change the lives of students that believe there is no hope in going to collège. I am motivated by the idea that I can be the changing factor in a student's decision to come to college. That is why I am in the flourishing, cultural organization of BSU (Black Student Union). It is our goal to start serving within our communities because we, as a cultural organization, realize how important it is to see a person that looks like you telling you to go to college. One quote I love to read and that I can relate to as a young black woman is by Maya Angelou which says, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style." And with that I encourage you to be a leader today, tomorrow and forever. �My e xperience as an E gyptian A merican cousins I didn't know existed would join us for dinner. I learned English along with Arabic and had friends who I played with after school. I climbed trees and picked mulberries off its stems and watched sunsets with my family from our balcony. When I was ten, I remember packing a large suitcase alongside my brother as my mom told us of the adventures we'd be having in America. "We'll have a big house and a backyard," my mom would tell us with excitement. I know now that what my mom was searching for was what many others from all over the world were searching for. I came to the United States with family who believed in the American dream. When I arrived in the U.S. I was shocked in every essence of the word but more so, I was afraid of not fitting in. Soon after, my mom enrolled me in the third grade, and although I studied English in Egypt, it was still hard for me to communicate with classmates and teachers; language barriers became an enemy to my self-development. Throughout middle and high school I was asked questions about my nationality. I was asked if I had lived in a hut back in Egypt, or if I had owned a camel, or if I was somehow a descendant of Cleopatra. I was always surprised at how little people knew about Egypt and how quickly people threw stereotypes around. Some people didn't even know that Egypt was in Africa. But what shocked me the most was being told by a classmate that "I'd be afraid to ride in an airplane with you." Televi- disrespectful and racist. Appropriating other cultures is not harmless. It often contributes to negative stereotypes of the culture being parodied. T e reason appropriation h can be harmful is that rituals and history that have a strong meaning to the original culture are often be treated by outsiders as "just for fun." Then, the ritual or history is treated in a way that is dis- respectful and offensive to someone who has it as a very deep part of their culture. Now, none of this is to say that if you're not Chinese you cannot eat that lo meiri you bought for dinner. Eating a culture's foods, enjoying its music and learning the language can all be enriching ways to show your appreciation for a culture. Cultural exchange and learning about others' backgrounds can help create understanding and friendship around the world. But wearing a cartoon-like sombrero, poncho and heinous mustache isn't showing respect: it's downright rude. It's important to learn why it's not okay for members of a dominant culture to appropriate others. "Ethnic" clothes and hairstyles are still stigmatized as unprofes- By Nada Sewidan Features Editor Identity is a culmination of human experience, diversity and being part of a community that connects us. Being Egyptian American, my identity is closely tied to both the life I lived in Egypt and the life I live here in the United States. My experience in Egypt consisted of living in large apartment flats similar to what you'd see in big cities like New York, of Pyramid adventures and camel rides on desert ground. I remember commuting through buses, microbuses and trams, and navigating through jaywalkers and traffic, side street markets and the many tourists. I spent my childhood surrounded by my family— a silly, loud, funny family. We'd have large family gatherings where uncles, aunts and Photo provided by Nada Sewidan Nada (left) and cousin on Nada's 6th birthday in Eygpt. sion didn't help with those kind of stereotypes either. I soon realized that some people's prior perceptions of Egypt were automatically attached to me. Even if I tried to crawl my out from under people's preconceived notions, I'd find myself pulled back. It's hard to form an identity when a part of you is thousands of miles away, the other part of you is trying to adopt someone else's identity and the rest of you is being judged by people's standards, stereotypes and their ideas of you. There remains this large disconnect between a picture of the Egypt I knew then, the Egypt I've grown unfamiliar with and my place in the United States now. That's the thing about living half your life in one country, brought up based on one culture's ideals and then transported to find yourself immersed in completely different ideals you tend to lose who you are. You may be wondering why you should care about my story, or any stranger's story for that matter. But the truth is, if you cared about my story, maybe you'd see me from a different perspective, beyond the superficial, beyond stereotypes, beyond brown hair and brown skin. You'd see a world outside your own; you'd see a perspective that television screens won't show you. Maybe you'd see a girl that struggles with something that everyone struggles with—identity. You'd get to know who I am, my life in Egypt, my life now, and you would no longer ask me if I lived in a hut, or if I owned a camel, or if I was a descendant of Cleopatra. You'd find yourself relating to me and maybe you'd find that we all beat to the same drum. Everyone has a story, and their story matters. Ultimately, it's our stories that keep us connected. sional, "cultural" foods are treated as exotic past times, and the vernacular of people of color is ridiculed and demeaned. People of color are stripped of their ability to express their cultural identities on a daily basis, biit when white people do it it's often seen as self-expression. This is a privilege granted only to those of the dominant culture. Fortunate- ly, we as a society can learn about these issues and work to become more sensitive to other people's cultures. With all of this in mind, please think before buying that "Native American war bonnet" from Urban Outfitters or dressing as a "sexy Dia de Los Muertos sugar skull." These are real people, real cultures and real histories, not fashion accessories. Cultural appropriation is not fashionable By Nicole Holman Contributor Cultural appropriation is the process by which a member of a dominant culture takes or uses aspects of another culture (often a colonized culture) without any understanding of the deeper cultural meanings behind the appropriated item.

Those were the last words spoken by Michael Brown as he was fatally gunned down in Ferguson, MO by a Caucasian police officer. Brown was supposed to start college that following Monday. We have all heard someone complaining and thought, "It is not just because you are black." But this time, it is. I have silently watched various videos pop up on my social media newsfeeds of African-American men and teenagers being unjustly arrested, beaten, shot at and even worse, murdered - all of them unarmed. Remember, the staff member on campus who was thought to have had an assault rifle? It turned out to be his umbrella and he was able to walk away, later joking about it on his Facebook.

When caught, the couple ran off. They then went to a single tree high on a hill that overlooked San Pablo Lake. It was there that their kiss blossomed into love. The Lechero Tree still exists outside of Quito, Ecuador in a colonial town called Otavalo. The folklore ending is that the two souls were separated by rival families, one being the lake, the other being the tree. Today, many in love take their vows at the foot of this tree in hopes of having everlasting love. I went to Ecuador this summer to research a fictional novel that took me to three indigenous communities within this beautiful scenic country. My return trip to Ecuador was motivated by an Andean medicine class which I took from Professor Bonnie Bade in the summer of 2013. What was to have been a 5-week trip, expanded to 3 months after I fell in love with the city of Otavalo and the people of Ecuador. My novel took me to the three regions of Ecuador. First, to the Highlands where the city of Otavalo is located. Then to the Coastal area in the city of Santo Domingo home to the Tsachila Nation. Finally, to the Amazon region where the town of Lago Agrio, where the Cofan nation is located. What ties all three nations is the respect and love of mother -earth. They call it Pachamama and it's shared by many Andean villages, towns, and cities where culture is preserved. It was quite common to see homes with gardens. It's a spiritual belief that connects our planet earth to the outside cosmos. The city of Otavalo can be described as a highland colonial town. In recent years the government took a moral stance and implemented Buen Vivir (Spanish for the good life) to their constitution to preserve and integrate an indigenous language and protect indigenous people. It compares to where we stood as a nation during the racial conflict in the civil rights era of the 1960's. Indigenous people were regarded as second class and racial stratification created a have and have not way of life in Ecuador. People of color had fewer life opportunities to improve economically and lacked educational resources. Language is a common bond for the preservation of culture in Otavalo Quechua (pronounced keechwa) is one of the remaining indigenous languages and Otavalo is a peaceful town. Men wear their hair braided and long and women wear gold beaded necklaces with white floral blouses. I spent nearly a month there learning Andean music, rituals and customs. As a contemporary sociologist in making, I truly evolved into an anthropologist. I also met a musician, Ali Lema, who enlightened me on Andean traditional music. He was awarded a scholarship to the University of Otavalo where he is leading a grassroots movement to bring Andean music into academia. While studying music, he also teaches other students to play Andean instruments that can only be found in the Andean Highlands. His family of five lives on a few thousand dollars a year. His 104 year old grandmother also lives adjacent to the home where his wife Carolina sings along with his 3-year-old daughter, Palomita. They also open up their home, which doubles as a music school, to students. From Otavalo I went south to Santo Domingo, home to the Tsachilas nation. They Use a vegetable dye to paint their hair red and they pride themselves on being self-sufficient. The Tsachillas were formerly called the Indios Colorados (redhead Indians) but a recent movement to change that has elicited the government to lead and correct this bias by using the appropriate name of Tshchilas. It was just outside Santo Domingo that I met Henry Calazacon who represents his nation by sharing his history and customs. Henry has traveled the world and is eager to share his way of life. Henry spent a day trying to perfect my spear throwing technique and teaching me the names of hundreds of plants that they use for teas and remedies. As the son of an elder leader, Henry is responsible with the teaching the global community about the Tsachilas and the preservation of the ancient language, Tsafiki. It is one of the oldest spoken languages in the world. The Tsachilas invited me to spend a few days with them. They still have numerous Shamans that lead the community. They are made up of a few thousand and are broken up into communities in Santo Domingo. At one point they had command of one the largest indigenous areas that stretched from Peru to Colombia.

Graduate schools tailor their programs to working professionals. What does that say about the face of students? Certainly not what I see on campus. I don't know about you, but I am trying to stay afloat with juggling a career, family and college. Some days I can tread water without any effort, other days I am drowning. I 'm not a great swimmer and have not always been a great student. Some of the things I learned a day late and a dol- lar short will hopefully help you to have a better start to your education.

A number of shows either finally answer multiple unanswered questions from last year's season finales, or introduces new and upcoming actors who play unusual, funny, terrifying, strong and even crazy characters. The networks provide the fun and gripping experiences of getting the chance to watch many TV shows or even TV Movies for audiences with different preferences. Fall TV shows lineup Mid-September had the return of the exciting ABC superhero show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D," also CBS's navy crime drama NCIS with an explosive new season and its new spin-off, "NCIS: New Orleans," joining from last year's episode "Crescent City Parts I and H." "NCIS: Los Angeles" accompanied its counterparts in the CBS lineup before the end of the month. The network also introduced couple new shows to the fall TV lineup: "Scorpion," "Madam Secretary" and "Stalker". The CW started its October lineup with "Reign," the story of Queen Mary of Scotland, and then double brother trouble with "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals" in their second seasons. The fan favorite "Supernatural" returned for its tenth season after leaving fans with a shocking cliffhanger. The protector of Starling City makes a comeback. "Arrow" (Wednesday nights) and its spin-off, "The Flash" (Tuesday nights) bolt in The CW schedule. Fox brings its own superhero drama on Monday nights. "Gotham" is the story of Detective James Gordon in his early years on the police force before the legend of Batman began. Another haunting thriller returned in FOX, '"Sleepy Hollow" with its heroes Lt. Abbie Mills of the Sleepy Hollow P. D. and Ichabod Crane, come back for another season fighting for the greater good against the demon Moloch, Headless Horseman and Crane's son Henry. October also brought forth on FX, "American Horror Story" which returned with yet another chilling season. A new creepier theme is introduced, Freak Show, set in the 1950's. ABC brings back yet another thrilling season of "Revenge" with a twist, having Emily Thorne come back from the dead but not knowing if Victoria used her to her advantage, especially after Emily placed her into an insane asylum in last season's finale. Then there is "Castle," "Nashville" and "Once Upon a Time" with Elsa, the character of "Frozen," making an appearance with actress Georgina Haig portraying her. There also some new comedies: "Selfie," "Cristela," "Manhattan Love Story" and "black-ish." ABC's "Resurrection" made a comeback on Sundays with more questions for its viewers. On Tuesday nights there is "Forever," a new show about Dr. Henry Morgan, a New York medical examiner who just can't seem to move on. He keeps coming back to life every time he dies in a horrible accident since his first death 200 years ago. This fall season made a grand entrance with many new and upcoming TV shows and returning ones as well. There is more to come in the upcoming months, even next year. So stay tuned and don't miss all the comedies, drama, thriller and supernatural shows these channels offer. T he B ig B ang k eeps o n g oing By Will McCtirdy Radio Assistant For eight seasons, the Big Bang Theory graced us with the laugh track comedy of Chuck Lorre, an entirely new take on the genre of intellectual comedy not seen since the days of Frasier, and, most importantly, the gift of bringing Jim Parsons to the small screen. The show performed again and again with a colorful cast of characters which are why they've been able to stay on the air as long as they have, bringing viewers despite some nerds admonishing it. It brought a larger understanding of some of the basic principles and concepts of the scientific community and even some that are more advanced such as theoretical experiments of quantum physics (Schrodinger's cat). However, as much as I dearly love the show, there are some points that need to be addressed that will hopefully be revis- Conversations that Matter Lecture covers the Ferguson Shooting By Beulah Supriya StaffWriter This summer, a young African American man was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, sparking protests across thè country against racial profiling and the actions of Officer Wilson. With conflicting eyewitness reports, it has been difficult to identify the reason for the confrontation, but what cannot be argued is how the shooting has affected people all over the country, not to mention, the world. On Oct. 22, CSUSM's "Conversations that Matter" lecture series will be hosting a discussion about the matter, titled "This time we call it Ferguson: Racial Shootings, the State and Resistance." The lecture, organized by the Office of Diversity, the Sociology Dept. arid CHABSS, is to be heldfrom12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the USU ballroom and will be followed by a Q and A session with the panel. The date of the lecture coincides with the National Day of Protest against police brutality and racial profiling. "The main aim of the discussion is to inform the community about the country still being a racialized state built on white supremacy and containment of color," Sociology Dept. Chair, Dr. Sharon Elise, said. "Some other topics which will be focused upon are: how the law constructs race and racism, slavery and the his- tory of white supremacy." When asked how this discussion will help the school, Professor Karen S. Grover highlighted its importance. "Racial profiling creates a hostile learning environment for colored people who have come to study, not to live in fear," Dr. Glover said: Dr. Elise also pointed out that the sad case at Ferguson is not a single isolated incident, but indicative of a crisis happening all over the country. An example closer to home was the 2005 case of Jorge Ramirez, a robbery suspect shot six times though he was lying on the ground due to a previous bullet injury.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the American biographical-drama Kill Your Darlings, written by Austin Bunn and directed by John Krokidas in his feature film directorial debut. Kill Your Darlings is one of my favorite films. I remember watching this film a few days before Halloween last year. I was fixated by the film's overall plot. I especially appreciated the raw direction thefilmdecided to take. For example, in thefilm,there are intimate moments that do not revolve around the traditional heterosexual narrative, which were excellently portrayed by the cast. The cast included Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg, Dane DeHaan as Lucien Carr, Jack Huston as Jack Kerouac, Ben Foster as William S. Burroughs, Michael C. Hall as David Kammerer, Elizabeth Olsen as Edie Parker, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Naomi Ginsberg, David Cross as Louis Ginsberg, Kyra Sedgwick as Marian Carr and David Rasche as Dean John Cullum as Professor Steeves. Daniel Radcliffe, widely known for his lead role in the Harry Potter series, plays a young Allen Ging- berg in the 1940s, in his college years with some of the earliest members of the Beat Generation (Carr, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kerouac and Kammerer). The chemistry between Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan was phenomenal. In an interview, Dane DeHaan confessed that as a result for DeHaan to play this role, he fell in love with Radcliffe. This film revolved around a murder case, associating the future of the beat gen- Movie Review eration. New York City was the place to be and thrive for each one of the individuals who needed to evade their center American life to wind up free from their roots. The writers for the most part, the Beats (Allen Ginsberg, Jack Keruoac and so on), Norman Mailer, J.D. Salinger and other people came to New York became a segment of the scene which benefitted the 1960's. The story was carefully and delightfully told with incredible dialogue and character development that resulted J PB ^J from the charm of the plot. In my opinion, in the more prevalent social setting, whether you consent with it or not, the individuals characterized by New York were those who set out to leave the security of their made familial enclaves in minor towns and stake their case to impressionistic and uninhibited declaration. Their eternal words, music and craft are our legacy, one that sustains to move each yearning for craftsman and reverberates all through every aspect of society today. 4 . 5 / 5 P AWS STAN LEE'S T he D escent d oes n ot d isappoint COMIKAZE EXPO By Pierce Brenner STAN LEE BRINGS POP CULTURE FUN ON HALLOWEEN WEEKEND StaffWriter A group of girlfriends have a tradition in which they go on a different adventure every year; this year, it's cavediving in North Carolina.

A&E Editor Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 were decent, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier is just what you'd hope for from a Marvel Studios film, and maybe even then some. This latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes some of the world's favorite plots in the film industry and rolls them into two epic hours of Marvel goodness. The main plot is reminiscent of the original Mission Impossible, while the twists remind me of Salt. At the center of all this action is, of course, S.HJ.E.L.D. member and World War II hero Captain America, a.k.a, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). One of the film's main premises is the super soldier's struggle with what appears to be a lack of integrity in this strange world around him. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) seems to be lying to him habitually. Tension increases when Fury shows Rogers three new helicarriers like the one in Avengers that will launch into the sky and work to eliminate threats before they can happen. but true: "We [fought] so that people could be free. This isn't freedom. This is fear." This struggle with the morality of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not limited to the betweenaction scenes either. The development has clear implications in the action as it is revealed that the terrorist organization HYDRA has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. The subtitle character, the Winter Soldier, is the strong, silent type: donning a mask for most of the movie. His identity is revealed shortly before the climax and the twist is surprising. Although the captain manages to whip all his standard foes into shape, the Winter Soldier is the only character who stands a solid chance against him. Other characters include Natasha Romanoff with the alias of the Black Widow (Scarlett Johanssen), returning from The Avengers to once again play a major role, along with S.HJ.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). Newcomer Sam Wilson, a Jc.a. Falcon (Anthony Mackie), proves to be the antithesis of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ambiguous morality, thereby landing him the role of Captain America's new sidekick. Then there's Sharon Carter or Agent 13 of S.H.I.E.L.D., secretly assigned to protect Rogers. She seems to be on his side throughout the film, being the first general SHIELD agent to actively rebel against HYDRA's regime. Rumor has it, she'll have a bigger role in the future. Well-crafted action sequences, a strong atmosphere of conflict within and without, and afilmthat takes the best of actionflicksand rolls them into one makes Captain America: The Winter Soldier more than worth your time. If you were disappointed with Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World because you thought they were lackluster compared to their predecessors, then I'm certain you'll enjoy this film much more. On the other hand, I ' ve heard people say that this film is better than The Avengers. Do I agree? Well, I don't disagree...or agree. Oh, never mind. See you in the Age of Ultron.

If you're an avid reader like me, there's nothing better than a story that enraptures you with its twists, turns and revelations leaving you wanting more. When I was younger, I found myself engulfed in "Nancy Drew" novels; solving a juicy mystery has always been a guilty pleasure. While "Nancy Drew" allowed me to channel my inner Sherlock Holmes, those mysteries were simply a warmup for the mystery works of author Gillian Flynn. Her best selling novel "Gone Girl" is a work that completely alters the meaning of the mystery genre. While it's no child-friendly mystery, it is evident that it is in a league of its own joining the ranks of other mystery successors: Stephen King and Agatha Christie. The story centralizes on Nick and Amy Dunne, a couple which gives new meaning to being in a relationship and "it's complicated." Nick is a struggling writer coping with the loss of his job, owning a bar with his sister and living in the shadow of his prestigious wife. Amy is the daughter of an Ivy-League family, forced to forever live as a created product to her parent's well-known book series "Amazing Amy," After meeting, falling in love and getting married, the morning of their fifth anniversary changes everything for the couple. Amy goes missing, leaving Nick and readers on a journey to solving the mystery of what happened to her and whether there is more than meets the eye to Nick and Amy herself. The novel takes readers through the trials and tribulations of the Dunne marriage, revealing secrets and scandals, via Amy's detailed diary, surely to make you wonder what kind of relationship they had. The best thing about this novel is it never seems to follow the cliché mystery formula: "murder + evidence + suspicious people = mystery solved." This novel introduces you to an alternated formula:" murder + evidence + mind confusion + headache + willingness to throw the book across the room because you are unable to figure out where this story is going."

What sets this mystery apart from others is its ability to engross readers. This isn't a story that can just be read. It's a story that you become a part of. Although Gillian Flynn has other successful thrillers, "Sharp Objects" and "Dark Places," it is "Gone Girl" that dignifies her position as mystery writer. I'm not sure if she will ever be able to pen another novel as brilliant as this one, but with a successful film adaptation starring Ben Affleck, it is discernable that Gillian Flynn is just beginning to make her mark in the literature world.

CSUSM students victims of hacking B Y K ATUN SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-GHIEF Students need to be aware of the harsh reality and prevalence of hacking in the modern era, especially in light of the cases involving CSUSM students in the past few years. What may have. previously seemed like an issue that was not relevant has become a central concern for 'many students. While many people are aware of the warning signals of an email containing a virus, hacking is ever expansive, sometimes resulting in the manipulation of your own device against you. According to Information Security Officer Teresa Macklin in CSUSM's Instructional & Information Technology Services (ITTS) department, three major kinds of hacking are what typically target college students, or have al" ready done so in the past. The most well-known type of hacking amongst college students is phishing or spamming. In this particular form, the hacker will send an email or notification to the user's computer/device, asking for personal information or some sort of attention. If opened or responded to, the person's information can be sold to various criminal organizations and their account will be used by hackers to manipulate further. "In our case, hackers would try to get your username and password to log in to one of our mail servers as you, and then they use that to send out thousands and thousands of messages in our mail server. They [also] want to get access to your social media account, and if they do that then they can use your access to access your friends and post things f or them to click on," Macklin said. With the existence of large databases containing the personal information of thousands of people like at CSUSM, Macklin said the university takes extra precaution to make sure students are not at risk when they put trust into the school. "Your campus email address is directory information, so it's not that difficult for people to get email addresses for people on campus; we list those. One of the things that we do is we pay for filtering software so that when people get those and try to send us spam, they are generally blocked. We have a number of things we do to try to protect those things from happening," Macklin said. Social media privacy Facebook and Twitter to assess the real you B Y BLANCA SARABIA PHOTOGRAPHER With such a competitive job market, employers are now able and willing to look through prospective employees' social media to determine whether they are fit for a particular job. Many employers use social NOV 6,2013 media to learn more about an applicant than solely going off of what their resume states. Some people may argue that this is an invasion of privacy, but we unwillingly give up that right when we post different content on social media networks. A potential employer may not pay much attention to last week's "mani-pedi with the girls" post, but depending on the position you are applying for, Another kind of hacking that threatens college students is gaining access to their webcam. Hackers may use thefirsttactic of hacking into an email or social media account to gain access to personal information or figure out how to break into the user's device without them knowing. In the recent arrest of Jared James Abrahams, the FBI reported that he allegedly utilized hacking software and the domain name "cutefuzzypuppy" to infect his victims' computers so that he would have access. He also was allegedly linked to hacking forums where someone with the same domain name was asking questions and researching how to use malware and control webcams. Macklin asserted that crimes with a personal element are a huge risk for college students more than large-scale viruses are. that "Thirsty Thursday" post (if you're not 21, or depending on how the picture looks) may spark their attention. According to the Huffington Post, 37% of employers use Facebook to prescreen their applicants and 11% said they plan to do so soon. "When I first applied to my last job, my coworkers told me that my boss looked through our Facebook to see how many friends we had, I guess the amount of Facebook friends determined how social we were," CSUSM student Stephanie Perez said. "Some people have a mission to target an individual instead of a group of individuals, so you have to watch out for both things. For students, it's more common that it would be a sexploitation-type crime that they could be at risk for, versus a CEO of a company has to worry about the hacker looking for access to the financial records in their system," Macklin said. The use of physical hacking devices are also of concern, CSUSM students * exposed to their existence first-hand about a year ago. In July of this year, former CSUSM student Matt Weaver was sentenced to a year in prison for counts of wire fraud, unauthorized access of a computer and identity theft, to which he plead guilty. Over the span of January to March 2012, Weaver installed keylogging devices on various computers on campus so that he could get the user identification and passwords of 745 students and staff. He stored the information on spreadsheets in his computer and then used them in order to try to rig the ASI presidential election in his favor. Macklin stated that the use of the keylogging device to gain personal information of students and staff at CSUSM made the issue of hacking a greater concern for the university as a whole. "It's pretty rare to see [those devices used]. It is an unusual amount of effort, and expensive, to see a physical device used by a student. The way more common thing is phishing," Macklin said. "We had never had that happen here before, those devices a couple years ago were $35 to $50 a piece, so the idea that someone would want this so bad to install Illustration of potential employer refusing to hire based on unsavory Facebook and Twitter content by Dane Vandervelden them and use them, it was so highly unlikely. After that incident, we've purchased something to lock down the back of every computer on campus and want students to be more aware of protecting personal information." While it may seem like students are becoming more tech-sawy, Macklin said that expansion of resources is the real cause of the problem. "Over the past few years, what's more common is that the resources needed to do this kind of thing are available publicly. The tools you need are available; what you really need is the will. I wouldn't say that it's more common or people are more capable. I think that people use more computers on a, day-to-day basis so there is more of an opportunity," Macklin said. The best way to arm yourself against becoming a victim of hacking is to follow simple precautions that will in the end, save your identity. "The key is for everybody to protect themselves is to get virus protection and keep it current. Also have a consciousness that your identity and your identity information are valuable to somebody. Students should also change their passwords as often as possible. If you're faculty/staff here, you have to change and update your password every twelve weeks."

The men surveyed often believed fights had occurred for other reasons unrelated to females. "I grew up playing soccer and w e'd fight after games. Or we were testing our martial arts skills," said Luke. High school fights were often recalled as barely visible. Of two high school fights he saw Salvador Perez said "It seemed, like there was no one to blame and no reason f or the fight that I could see. I just saw it."

And they were kind of dumb for fighting at school." said Bryce Heathcock. "I felt less safe than before the fight, no one did anything to stop the fight." said Salvador Perez. "I think that fighting in general is completely unnecessary and 99 percent of the time can be dealt with by walking away or trying to reason with the more aggressive person. As far as safety goes, I personally train in self-defense, specifically with women [on sex-related assault]. I usually feel pretty comfortable [in the presence of fights]. I 'm educated to handle the situation with as little physical altercation as possible." said Brett Goudy. Even in areas with a higher number of unsafe activities, like fighting or" aggression, options exist to modify socially concerning behaviors. Education or martial arts represents a way some people protect themselves. There are also many ways to change the behavior of fighting, including "social competence training" and "monitoring" which are "aimed at providing schemas for positive social interaction," said Schultz and Oskamp. Though non-sports related fighting is often violent and injuring, it appears many CSUSM students have not experienced fighting in college, an important note as CSUSM was praised for being the safest school in California by State University.com in 2012.

Basketball teams facing heavy competition B oth t he m en's a nd w omen's t eams h ave a dded t he t ools t hey n eed t o c ompete B YSHAINAPARDO STAFF WRITER S The first men's and women's basketball games are right around the corner with both teams facing some big competition" this 2013-2014 season. With some big changes, both teams look to bring home a championship. The men's team ended the 2012-2013 season on a good note. The Cougars made it to the NAIA Division 1 National Championship Tournament, were ranked in the top 25 every week of the season, went 4-0 against teams in the top 10 and finished the season with a 23-7 record. Coach Jim Saia, with a proven track record at UCLA from 1997-2003, the University of Southern California from 2004-2005 and Fresno Pacific University from 2007-2010, has been instrumental in the men's success. The Cougars have improved drastically since Saia arrived two years ago and have ranked as high as sixth in the nation. As for this season, the men's basketball team has 11 new players, four of which are Division I bounce backs. Saia wants his team to be the best possible team that they can be, by increasing stature, so that they can make it to the National Tournament in Kansas City. The Cougars have upcoming games on Nov. 1 against SDSU and Nov. 4 against UCLA. The Lady Cougars have a brand new pack this season and are determined to win. There arefivereturning players and nine new members. " I'm looking forward to this new group of freshmen and transfers to mix with our returners because we have a lot of potential and competitiveness to win," said returning senior Sharika Miller. She also would like the new additions to her team to experience winning and to begin a legacy by ending on a high note and winning a national title this season. Coach Sheri Jennum speaks very highly of her team. "Since we have a lot of young talent mixed with experience we are growing everyday improving, getting smarter and working harder I see cohesiveness striving toward one unit which will lead to the road to a national tournament and winning conference." said Jennum. The Lady Cougars begin their season Oct. 26 at Mira Costa at 7:30 p.m. With their revamped rosters, the men's and women's teams have the tools to improve upon last year's season. FDA doesn't regulate so you should A deeper look at the proper use of workout supplements B Y RACHEL GALLEGO S TAFF W RITER A lot of athletes use supplements as part of their regular training routine to get the most out of their time spent and enhance their overall performance. Many do so without a full understanding of the associated risks and benefits. The use of supplements has become very common for various benefits, such as improving health, preventing illness, increasing performance and enhancing appearance. Among the most popular are diet and workout supplements. Common supplements taken by athletes are vitamins/minerals, creatine, protein and glucosamine. Shockingly, manufacturers do not have to register or get clearance with the FDA before a supplement goes on the market. According to the FDA, there is no regulation on the potency, purity or biologic activity of the ingredients irt the dietary supplements. The FDA is responsible for labeling and claims. It is not until after the product is on the market that the FDA can intervene if it is proven to be unsafe. Supplements can have serious side effects to the body and there can be an increased risk when using multiple supplements together without proper knowledge. They can have adverse effects as fundamental as nervousness, fatigue or increased heart rate. It is important to realize that the term "natural" may not always mean safe. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, safety depends on the chemical makeup, how it is prepared and the dosage. Certain herbs can even cause liver damage. Although taking an adequate amount of a supplement might be beneficial, taking it in excess can have dangerous side effects. For example, taking too much protein can cause dehydration and intestinal distress. You may be getting a sufficient amount through your diet, so it is important to be cautious. Some dietary supplements may also interact in a negative way with prescription' drugs. Also, it is important to realize that supplements should not replace meals that provide additional essential nutrients. Look through the nutrition label and look for any ingredients that may be part of the "Dirty Dozen." These are ingredients that claim to have positive effects, but have serious health risks. Some of these are kava, bitter orange and aconite. The three of them go by three to four other names as well. Consult with a dietician and talk with your doctor before taking a supplement, so you know if it is best for your overall health. In general, supplements can be a beneficial part of your training routine with proper knowledge of the subject matter. Louie Farfan in action on the soccer field. Photography by Jessamyn Trout. Louie Farfan aims for the professional level B YJENHAGER STAFF WRITER For the first time in program history, the men's soccer team has reached the NAIA top 25, which is well deserved after years of hard work and determination put in by these dedicated athletes. Coach Ron Pulvers accredits their success to not only their returning class, but also their strong incoming players this year. One of those new players is Louie Farfan, a freshman criminal justice major. Farfan, who chose CSUSM because of how close it is to his family, has contributed to the program's success this year by being a force in the central midfield. He is an aggressive player both offensively and defensively. He is exceptional at free kicks and aggressively taking on defenders. Farfan says h e strives to, "keep the morale up on and off the field." With a 8-3-2 record on the season, he is definitely doing just that. Farfan's older brothers both play in the MLS for Chivas USA and Philadelphia Union. Farfan's ex- Farfan continued on page 4.

"Great atmosphere," CSUSM student and Eagle Lanes fan Nicholas Jaffari said. " It's a great place to hang out with friends and it makes you keep wanting to come back for more." Eagle Lanes has recently had some changes in management, and is looking forward to some remodeling, including makeovers to the bar area and concessions' menu.

Rohani and Imani came up with the idea to bring the group back to life when they realized the need for it on campus. While there are various groups in existence dedicated to different sides of the medical field, there was nothing more focused on pharmacy and the professions in that field. Inspired by the existence of societies like Pre-Dental and PreHealth, Rohani and Imani decided to team up to create an organization that can operate as a forum and source of information for students. "There is a certain mindset that students walk into college with, some of them knowing- what their major is« going to be and others not. But sometimes you know your major but have no idea what it really is or what you will be doing. So we want t o help students be level-headed and prepare them," Rohani said. This "starting from scratch" mentality speaks volumes to the strength of Rohani and Imani's vision. Both are Biology majors and have plans to enter the pharmaceutical or medical worlds after college. However, their genuine . excitement and desire to help other students reach their potential demonstrates a keen sense of leadership and ability to teach that will be invaluable to others. Their dedication to making the Pre-Pharmacy Society a premium resource for other students is evident by the fact that the duo is not only investing their time, but their own money.

ASL tutoring is now The LLC takes its j ob very seriously, only hiring tutors that are specially trained and embody the most impressive characteristics needed to help students succeed. Tutors have to be patient, empathic, know the subject matter very well and many of them have taken the same class they are tutoring for. "We joke that we're working ourselves out of a j ob because we're trying to make students better learners and more confidant on their own," Comerchero said. One-on-one tutoring is not the only method available for students. The LLC also offers University Hour Workshops, where they teach lessons in accordance with the students' course. The most popular workshops take place the first and last weeks of the semester. The first Tuesday that students are back to school tutors provide a crash review of the previous semester; the week before courses end they do a finals review. Comerchero said that she sends an email to every student that is enrolled in the course and informs them what they will be reviewing for and tries to ensure that what is being covered is similar to what the students have learned from thenprofessor the week before. "We go along with the university's goal of trying to create lifelong learners. We don't tell you the answers, but we ask open-ended ques- tions to help you figure them out. For example, we might ask what page the example is on, walk you through the sample and have you explain why you think you got the answer wrong," Comerchero said. "Students often times end up figuring out the correct answer as they start explaining* their mistakes." The LLC also provides testing for students that want to complete their LOTER early. At CSUSM, a student has to take three semester pf a language (101, 102 and 201). If they want to complete the requirement sooner, they can either test out or jump ahead to the 102 or 201 courses. According to Comerchero, the LOTER* two-year rule allows a student that took their last language course in their sophomore year of high school to jump to 102 or 201 by the spring semester of their freshman year at CSUSM. After the spring semester, students must begin their language courses with 101. Testing out of taking language classes can also be accomplished through AP, IB or CLEP credits. The LLC provides the proficiency exam that students need to take if they want to test out of language, which focuses on their writing and speaking skills. Students can test out of the LOTER if they can pass a proficiency exam in any language, not just the ones that are tatight on campus.

BY Rico PALMERIN FEATURES EDITOR CSUSM offers two locations to get fresh coffee, Campus Coffee and Starbucks, and each are located ai short distance f rom Craven Circle. Want to avoid hiking even more stairs before that hot roast hits the spot? Campus Coffee is still another double set of stairs away _ so hit Starbucks right outside the library. Since caffeinated watering holes are no longer limited to plain ole cups o ' Joe, Starbucks offers a wide variety of lattes, coffees, espressos, mochas, smoothies, frappuccinos, the list goes on and on, each customizable with various flavored syrups, sweeteners and creams. Evoking Holiday spirit, Starbucks also offers the beloved seasonal drinks, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte, a steamy espresso sweetened up with pumpkin-syrup, milk, whipped cream and topped with pumpkin pie spices. Not only is Starbucks loaded with delicious caffeinated drinks but there are tons of tasty treats in the bakery and cold food section: scones, bagels, banana walnut bread, paninis, bistro-boxes and more. "When I 've been at the cart, I 've bought sandwiches. I like the ones at Starbucks better and I feel like they have more of a variety," CSUSM student Kim Naraine said. Clearly the menu speaks for itself, but at CSUSM, Starbucks' superiority goes beyond just the product by providing a pleasant hint of privilege. Stepping into the air-conditioned coffee bar creates a mingled sensation of exclusivity and intimacy, something that is just not possible over at the outdoor Campus Coffee. As far as seating goes, Star- bucks offers both outdoor and indoor seating. Outside the front door is a cozy nook with umbrellas at every table and a tree for shade. Indoor seating is up one floor above the store, and offers a quaint room overlooking Library Plaza—a far cry from Campus Coffee's minimally shaded outdoor chairs. Starbucks even gives back to its customers. By simply going online and registering a Starbucks card, customers can earn "stars" with every purchase. 12 stars grant a free drink or food item, and that includes the more pricey salads and sandwiches. Why choose the largest coffeehouse chain in the world over Campus Coffee? Starbucks offers the possibility of free food and coffee, sensations of exclusivity and community, quick and detailed service and a deliciously elaborate menu. B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES STAFF WRITER Cal State San Marcos has multiple options when buying coffee, but if you are a student who enjoys the wind's breeze, the shade of trees and originality, Campus Coffee is for you. When you think about coffee, you imagine the taste of it in your mouth and you automatically know where to get the best cup. At CSUSM, students are fortunate to have coffee especially designed and created for them. If you are a coffee lover and want to try something new this semester, head over to Campus Coffee. Campus Coffee is located in Founder's Plaza in the midst of movement and student activity. In comparison to Starbucks, the location is convenient for students who have classes in the area or are simply taking a break from their hectic schedules The seating is located under big aiid bodacious trees that envelope students with shade in the spring and yellow leaves in the fall. Unlike the Starbucks seating, there is no need for umbrellas to cover the shade when students have natural shelter from the sun. Campus Coffee offers more than just coffee. They also have a variety of drinks and snacks that include fruits, snack bars and pastries. They have so much originality. For such a small place they know how to make students feel cozy with their warm and caring attitudes. The employees always greet students with a smile, infecting others with positive energy. "My favorite thing about Campus Coffee is that the employees are really approachable and friendly, even if there is a long line. I also like how convenient it is because it's near all my classes. I am also discovering that the prices are lower than Starbucks," said Chelsea Tucker, a CSUSM student that utilizes Campus Coffee. At Campus Coffee students can't help but feel original themselves. They won't find Campus C offee anywhere else. Every season, students are guaranteed a spot under the trees, whether it's relaxing while drinking an iced coffee or enjoying a nice hot cappuccino with a warm scarf around your neck. The smell of coffee and the buzz of students' conversations make Campus Coffee the perfect location to sit, have a cappuccino or make a pit stop to buy a snack before heading to class. Campus Coffee gives students the opportunity to feel like they're a part of a campus community. Fall season is now upon us and as wind blows by rustling the leaves, making students forget the stressful load of college duties, Campus Coffee is the place to be. C ommentary: S moking b enches s hould s tay B Y JARRATT ROBINSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER The smoking benches by Markenstein Hall should remain open to smokers. These benches are a way for students to alleviate the stress of school as well as developing lasting relationships with other students they might not have ever met if it were not for the designated smoking areas. Every student can tell you that attending college is extremely stressful especially when a big project or exam is around the corner. Every student deals with that stress in different ways and smok- ers handle that stress with the vice of having a cigarette. Ask yourself a question, when you have been studying and going to classes for a few hours straight, what do you do to take a mental break? Well smokers enjoy a cigarette during those breaks. Also, the Markenstein benches are placed in an area that has minimal effect on others because it is in an open area that has optimal time to dissipate second hand smoke. Another benefit of the smoking area is the relationships that develop with other smokers. Smoking is a social habit and you can see that by just walking past Markenstein benches or any other designated smoking area on campus. For instance, I have met many people at the Markenstein benches and made friendships that will last a lifetime. All of that was possible by CSUSM forcing smokers to only smoke in designated areas. One aspect of college beyond obtaining a degree is developing friendships and relationships that can last a lifetime. The designated smoking areas do serve that purpose for the student smoking community.

There was a group of people I routinely saw throughout the spring semester, well on the first day of campus it was joyous because we all were back together.

Maybe that means moving the Markenstein benches into the dirt lot that is 150 feet to the south. Maybe a new style of smoking area needs to be planned. One solution that Paradise Valley Hospital created was having an enclosed smoking area with a vent fan which sucked up smoke and make surrounding areas more pleasant. Solutions are available but they need to be researched. The designated smoking areas are an integral part of college for the select few that enjoy the habit of smoking.

' With freedom of speech and the internet allowing people to comment on anything, opinions have become a common part of any online experience. This ability t o make your voice heard can have a very positive impact and lead to educated discussions and debates over certain topics. More often than not, however, I have seen what starts as a good conversational topic deteriorate into people insulting one another. The areas where this is most apparent are on online newspaper articles, online magazine articles and Youtube. On these websites you are able to either create a screen name that cannot be traced back to you by the average person or you can choose to stay anonymous when you post. While this allows a great number of people to make their opinions heard, it also allows people to hide behind a pseudo identity when making comments. By posting comments that cannot be traced to a specific person, some people feel as if they can post whatever they want without ramifications. This often leads to educated arguments in the comments sections of the newspaper to deteriorate into people directly insulting specific users and calling them bad names or accusing them of being racist. I come across this often when doing research for school papers and it is very distracting. It also makes every other commenter increasingly angry, leading to multiple personal attacks be- ing posted. Eventually there is nothing but an angry argument that has no relevance to the original article whatsoever. This is an unfortunate downhill slide that detracts from the article itself and leads to unpleasant internet experiences, leaving users feeling irritated and upset. Students should always be aware that what they say is still viewed by many people and that words can hurt. I hope that all of the students here at CSUSM are kind enough to know that what they say does have an impact on others. Sadly, in this online age people often hide behind their usernames. This is not a good policy to have as it generates unnecessary hate and aggression. The golden rule of treating others how you would want to be treated should not only be incorporated throughout face to face interactions but also within, the online public sphere. That's not to say that you can't voice your opinion, simply make sure that your opinion is connected to the article and is not a direct attack on anybody. Remember to respect other internet users and we can all have a positive and enriching online experience. Replace boring classes with what your passion is Finding a way to personalize college B Y LAUREN HAMMOND OPINION EDITOR Taking time to get more involved with campus affairs can help CSUSM students gain a sense of community as well as achieve scholastic success. As an undergraduate student, I have been told repeatedly throughout the past few years of the importance of extracurricular involvement on campus. However, living on my own, having a job and fitting in time outside of the strenuous hours of homework to join a club or organization had previously seemed both frivolous and impossible. It w asn't until more recent semesters that I began to consider any f orm of campus involvement. Getting closer to the completion of my undergraduate education, I felt it necessary to build up my resume. I understand that aside f rom mlaintaining a good grade amtaining ooa point average, the only way to standout during the graduate application process is to participate in at least some academic activities outside of the classroom. For the past nine months I have been working with Professor Linda Pershing and several other students to create a folklore and mythology course based on the Harry Potter series. Over the past week, I attended the annual American Folklore Society Conference held in Providence, Rhode Island and presented some of the research my group has accumulated thus far. The conference itself gives profound scholars from all over the world an opportunity to meet, gather and share thenpassion for folklore, mythology and culture as well as other academic disciplines.

So, to abide by the laws of tradition, this review will cover an unusual modern classic, currently available for streaming on Netflix. Donnie Darko (2001) was not a success at the box office r upon its release, but thanks to the new DVD format it soon became a cult classic. Set in the 1980s, the plot revolves around Donnie, a troubled teenager, who sleepwalks out of his bedroom one night and gets told by a six-foot-tall rabbit named Frank that the world will end in 28 days. The rabbit manipulates Donnie io do a series of mischievous tasks, possessing him to commit a series of crimes and involve himself with unsavory people. We are able to sympathize with our protagonist and we become more worried about him than his own family. Donnie Darko is a film that includes multiple genres. It is not quite horror, but also not quite science fiction. You will be trying to make your own interpretation of this film long after you watch it. The film boasts an eclectic 80s' soundtrack that is exciting and memorable to people of all generations. Even if psychological horror is not typically your genre, this movie definitely has the range and capacity to keep any viewer involved and entangled in the brilliant characters.

Heightened concern over increased sexual assault reports Third documented assault since semester onset By Jasmine Demers Community News Editor CSUSM students have been exposed to a harsh reality and have reacted in response to a significant increase in reported sexual assaults on campus. Campus police are currently investigating two additional sexual assaults that occurred at The Quad in September. On Sept. 24, UPD was informed of an alleged rape that reportedly occurred between Sept. 18 and 19. Another assault was reported on Oct. 3 and was said to have occurred between Sept. 12 and 14, less than two weeks prior to the first report. Each of the alleged rapes reportedly took place at the residence hall where both suspects had attended a party. Since the semester began in August, crime alerts have been issued for a total of three sexual assaults. The university recently issued its annual Jeanne Clery report, which shows campus crime statistics for 2011 through 2013. According to the disclosure, there were zero reported sexual assaults in 2011, one reported sexual assault in 2012, and one reported sexual assault in 2013. CSUSM's reported assaults have tripled within just a couple months of the 2014 school year. CSUSM student, Lizbeth Moreno, commented on the issues surrounding assault in the campus community. "It's infuriating that this keeps happening but people need to know that this is a reality for so many different people," Moreno said. She explained the importance of students coming together to end sexual assault in the community, but she also said that there are some positives that come from survivors being brave enough to tell their story. "In a way, I think it is a very good thing that we are seeing more reports. In past years, there have been a very small Photo by Cody Cook Karen GuzmXn and Cecili Chadwick discuss a Feminists' point of view to campus questions at a meeting on Monday Oct. 6. amount of sexual assault cases that were actually reported to the police," Moreno said. "There are so many women who don't want to be re-victimized and who are afraid of being blamed, so they would rather sweep it under the rug than have to relive it. But, it looks like that may be changing little by little." Moreno and other advocates against sexual violence have taken it upon them- No More!

CSUSM's new Veterans Center inspires elevated involvement Photo by Matthew J. Kuhlman Even CSUSM President Karen Haynes feels at home at the new Veterans Center to casually stop by for a chat with collegue Laura Stowell, Director of the San Marcos Writing Project. By Matthew J. Kuhlman tire CSUSM community. Photo Editor Ever since the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Veteran's Affairs center, the new facility has become a welcoming hot spot for veterans, staff and the en- There has been a noted increase in both veterans already associated with the center as well as newcomers who previously never really had the chance to visit. "The new central location and design of the VA Center seems to invite and draw people in as if it just 'looks' like the type of place to stop in and get answers or direction," said Alexis Bruno, a SN Criminology and Sociology major. The layout of the new center was designed specifically for, and succeeded at, creating a space that is welcoming, informative, relaxing and constructive as well in the way of study and administrative designated areas. The first few steps into the front door present a friendly and informative member at the front desk leading right into a large social area with a large screen TV and seating for anyone who wants to relax for a while or just stop by for a quick break. "The layout of the center makes it much easier to focus on school work at one end of the center and leaves room at the other end for camaraderie, entertainment and a more social setting for exchanging information with fellow members and students," said Aixa Escobar, a SN Psych major. "It sets up a more open exchange of knowledge and shared experiences." One of the major accomplishments of the new VA Center, whether it was an intentional goal or that is just happened, is that the atmosphere seems to automatically break down previously existing barriers. Far too often the very idea of a veteran facility, or any military based center, almost always sets people 'on guard' because they have a preconceived notion that they have to be very formal and expect a struggle with red tape. "Ever since the opening of the new VA Center, we've noticed this sort of aura in the atmosphere," said Claudia Oreegal, a SN Business major. "My personal goal," said Oreegal, "is to make anyone who walks through the door feel comfortable." Since the new Veteran Center is attracting every walk of student, the staff is always mindful that each new visitor may have specific needs that they think no one will understand or be able to help them with. After just a short period of time experiencing what the new VA Center and staff have to offer, students, veterans, and dependents all end up realizing that someone at the center has been through what they are going through. The inviting atmosphere of the new center combined with the knowledge and information available from the dedicated staff continue to live up to the new center's goal of being a beacon of support for the entire CSUSM community.

IW Photo courtesy ofLatino Association ofFaculty & Students. By Katherine Ramos StaffWriter Guelaguetza, the latest initiative to celebrate diversity and heritage on campus, was celebrated this past Sunday. A festival meant to celebrate Oaxacan heritage, the event has been on campus annually since 2000. The Guelaguetza has been traditionally organized by Coalition of Indigenous Communities of Oaxaca (COCIO), for 19 years in San Diego. It is modeled after the original Guelaguetza festival in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, a region filled with a mixture of cultures and people. Every year people gather in the city for a day of dance, music, food, crafts and an overall sharing of community and culture. That same festival is now reproduced and held on the front lawn of the Kellogg Library. The festival showcases Oaxacan Mexican culture with native folklorico dances and musicians, artisan crafts and traditional foods that are all authentically Oaxa- can. All proceeds from the festival go directly to projects within the community. At least 8,000 people from the communities of the San Diego area visit the festival every year, as the Guelaguetza i s considered a particularly good place for families, according to COCIO board director Cuez Rodriguez, since there is no drinking, nor any kind of discrimination against those who attend the event. "We create a safe space where the family can come and be away from hostile environments," Rodriguez said. "Our festival is where they can be comfortable." CSUSM student organizations and the Anthropology department both work with COCIO in order bring , the festival on campus, and so far it has benefitted both sides of the partnership. According to Rodriguez, the association with CSUSM creates jobs each year for the school and helps spread COCIO's message to the community. It also allows children who would not otherwise experience a college campus to do so as a way of encouraging them to become more acclimated to making the transition in the future, according to Rodriguez. Student volunteers are also a part of the staff, although many did not know what to expect when they first came in. However, they all share a desire to learn something about the Oaxacan culture. "It's a way different culture from my own and it's very beautiful," second-year volunteer at the Guelaguetza, Angelica Santiago, said. "I want to keep my culture and learn more at the same time," student volunteer, Yohita Mendez, said. "There is a lot to learn still." For COCIO, the primary purpose of the festival is to create an environment that is safe for family attendance, which is, in general, successful. "The idea of family and community together, that is our definition of festival," Rodriguez said.

By Sydney Schabacker Creating the dynamic, digitial portfolio CSUSM resumes will now stand out By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief The ways that students can catch the eyes of potential employers i s constantly evolving, evidenced by the advent of the interactive, digital portfolio. Portfolium, the new way that students can bring a youthful spark to the traditional resume, was introduced to students in early September. The campus has partnered with the company by providing each student with an account and encouraging them to utilize the portfolio tool for an added visual component when going into j ob interviews. Nicknamed by some individuals as a "Linkedln geared more for students," Portfolium allows the user to demonstrate their professional and personal interests by actually showcasing the projects that they normally would just mention in a resume. With the success that Portfolium has enjoyed at other universities in California since its creation last year, the administrators at CSUSM became interested in providing Portfolium as a resource to students. Since its official "introduction" to campus a few weeks ago, the CSUSM Portfolium network already features over 1,000 entries and more than 8,000 students have logged in to begin their portfolio. "Portfolium will benefit CSUSM as an institution by benefiting the communities we serve," Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss, said. "With the ability to translate academic work and experiences into the skills and criteria that employers are looking for, we hope our students and alumni will be better equipped to get the j ob or promotion that will help them advance in their careers." According to Vice President Hoss, the administration's primary goals for Portfolium are to help students build a more detailed, wellrounded portfolio, to connect them to their peers and alumni and to attract more employers to hiring students at CSUSM that meet the qualifications they are looking for. In addition to this, the portfolio network will give pro- spective students an opportunity to learn about the campus and student body by viewing CSUSM Portfolium profiles. Eventually, the administration plans to possibly expand its reach to more of the campus community as well. "At some future point we anticipate that this will be made available to faculty and staff, primarily in an effort to support CSUSM students and alumni who have their digital portfolios on Portfolium," Hoss said. Some students may shy away from using Portfolium in its entirety due to the fact that it makes an individual's projects and work public online. However, there are ways to protect intellectual property from being copied or stolen. "Our team built Portfolium with the end user in mind. That's why we made sure each piece of content within a user's portfolio has its own privacy and visibility settings," Portfolium CEO, Adam Markowitz, said. "For the sensitive content, a user can set it so that only trusted connections and employers may view. For the portfolio entries showcasing a student's passion, lifestyle and hobbies, we recommend keeping these public to increase exposure and 'searchability.'" Portfolium takes many aspects of student usage into consideration, including the omission of fees to join, and use, the network and no selling or sharing of user content or information. "Portfolium does not have unrealistic terms of service," Markowitz said. "They are almost identical to other e-portfolio and social networks, including Wordpress, DropBox and Linkedln." In addition to the current features, users can look forward to updates to how portfolios look, which according to Markowitz will be in use within the next few weeks. Students that are interested in logging into their Portfolium account to learn more about updates and the ways that they can share their experiences can go to https:// c susm.portfolium.com/. "If ' a picture is worth a thousand words,' then Portfolium is worth a terabyte," Hoss said. ra-ka-de-ka" Fresh Thai Kitchen IXC.

While munity of care and respect many celebrities like Kerry and had about 50 students Washington, Alex Morgan take the online pledge," STARS (Students Talk About Relationships & Sex) advisor, Cathy Nguyen, said. When asked on how the college can get involved and help victims, Nguyen said, "we should become proactive bystanders and, as humans, need to be more sensitive and compassionate." In solidarity with this philosophy, during the end of October, many workshops and lectures are lined up on-campus to educate stu- dents about their rights, as well as to provide a community for victims of assault. "I believe that his [Obama's] approach and initiative is likely to be successful because it engages multiple stakeholders, including the media and possible future perpetrators and bystanders," Professor Fernando Soriano, whose area of expertise lies in School-Based Violence and Delinquency Prevention Programming, said. "I think that this campaign should be publicized widely here on campus, and that we as a campus make it mandatory for all incoming students to read about the problem of sexual violence, and that they sign a pledge indicating that they will help prevent sexual violence from taking place."

For those with a taste for heavy Celtic Metal, The Dread Crew and Oddwood proved fitting. The Baudy Juggler told lewd, less-than-familyfriendly jokes, all the while hurling three machetes into the air and catching them before they rained down on the terrified audience. More specifically, one audience member sitting in the front row prayed she would not die via a juggling act. But what would a Viking Festival be without violence? Amongst mock combat, the festival held archery contests, sword fights, and the long-celebrated, history sacred fish tossing contest. Children were even given the opportunity to decorate their own sword and shield. If one felt so inclined, one could also participate in the Rune Quest. This entailed seeking out signs with runic symbols and translating the script into modern English. Even while saturated with entertainment, the festival was an educational experience that offered an opportunity to explore a history which is rarely adequately presented. �Sports Editor: Rest/ Grey cougarchnon.sports@gmail.com Women's Soccer looking to efsinishs estrong of ason Cougars head into final gam By Resty Grey Sports Editor The Women's Soccer team continues to display their competitive prowess under new head coach Bobby Renneisen. CSUSM opened its season with a tie against Eastern Oregon, but have gone on to win seven of their last nine matches, dropping only two games against No. 18 Masters College and No. 3 Concordia. Cougars have gathered exceptional contribution from nearly the entire team. Women's Soccer finds help on offense and defense from the starters as well as many role players coming off the bench. "We have a lot of depth on our team and it shows," senior defender, Brianne Searl, Photo by Marcel Fuentes CSUSM Women's Soccer senior defender Brianne Searl safely handles a loose ball. said in a post-game interview after having scored on a free-kick from midfield. Despite only having one goal for the season, Searl's exceptional play does not go unnoticed. Searl can defend with a forceful kick that looks to engage her entire body. When the ball nears her direction, her 5 '6 frame leaps towards it, suspending herself in midair as she gracefully snaps her foot to send the ball across the field, helping to change the momentum of the game back in CSUSM's favor. Senior defenders, Nicole Luna and Brooke Carter, spend nearly every minute of the game on the playing field alongside Searl. Luna and Carter help to find ways to stop opposing plays along with helping to dictate the playing field. Defenders Karly Dunning and Monica Aguilar show an eagerness on the field to be a part of every play. Every minute is spent zealously disrupting passes and creating offensive opportunities for the Cougars. CSUSM has seemed to have also found depth from the freshman class in defender, Morgan Simmons. Her ambition for soccer can be seen to match many of the veteran players on the team. "Our team has really been focusing on being a team," Paulina Good said in a postgame interview after having scored on a break away. "We can't just run through the games half-doing it. We have to run through the games running as hard as we can and connecting passes." Good's presence in the midfield has been a substantial addition to the Cougars' soccer prowess. Not only is she an incredible defender, she also has the ability to create opportunities for other players on her team such as Amy Albur and Amy Young. Players like Young and Albur add speed and tenacity to CSUSM's offensive arsenal. Albur's speed on the dribble is unmatched, often beating opponents down the field. The depth goes on. CSUSM has started off strong and the Cougars are hoping to continue building momentum in theirfinalfive games at home. Go Cougars!

Students at CSUSM have free access to the Clarke Field House to work out at the gym or take a variety of group fitness classes. "For instructors, classes are $20 a month or $5 a adopt healthy class, but for students they're free," the Clarke Field House receptionist said. Fitness classes are usually offered by students, dance majors doing special projects and fitness teachers from other places. This year's classes include Core and More, Full Body Challenge, Indoor Cycling, Insanity, Jiu-Jitsu, Kettlebell, Morning Bootcamp, Yoga and a rotating Mystery Class. Yoga has been a huge hit in the past, garnering the most attendees of group fitness classes. One reason for this is the potential the class has to help students relax from the pressures of studying, classes and busy schedules. In Spring 2014, yoga was offered every day, Monday through Thursday, by various teachers. This year, however, it is being offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and twice on Thursdays. Insanity is being taught by third-year Kinesiology major, Vanessa Estoesta, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lifestyle Photo by Cody Cook CSUSM student Stephanie Ferro stays fit practicing yoga.

But sometimes drinking water can get boring and that's when green tea comes to the rescue. Green tea originated in China. Quite unlike the other teas, the main differences between this tea is the degree of fermentation. Though white, green, oolong and black teas come from the same plant, green tea has half the amount of caffeine found in black tea, which is the most popular one around.

Rocky Balboa's most notable quote runs through your mind as you climb up the concrete staircases coming from the drop-off zone in front of the Craven building. The training montage is famous among the minds of students here on campus. Let's face it, waiting on an elevator can be time consuming when in a hurry and the parking lots are not exactly conveniently located close to the lecture halls. How many steps do you think you take in a day here on campus? How many stairs do you think you take? Kinesiology professor, Dr. Laura De Ghetaldi, calls students on campus "Cal State Stairmasters." Melissa Browne, a junior majoring in kinesiology, wore a pedometer for a day and her results were astonishing. Starting in the Craven parking lot, Browne walked to her first class lo- cated in University Hall. Browne then walked from University Hall to the Clarke Gym for her final class of the day. She took 4,092 steps total, 394 of which were stairs. Browne burned approximately 300 calories just coming to school, not even taking into account the rest of her daily activities. Vanessa Arroyoarroyo, also a junior majoring in kinesiology, conducted the same experiment which produced similar results. Starting from the circle in front of Craven Hall, Arroyoarroyo walked to her first class located in University Hall. She then walked to her second class in Markstein Hall, followed by her final class in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. She walked a total of 4,104 steps and 542 stairs. Arroyoarroyo burned about 400 calories just showing up to school for three classes. This is the equivalent to that 380-calorie, grande pumpkin spice latte you enjoyed this morning. One would not believe that walking could yield such positive health ben- efits. Briskly walking around CSUSM's campus can burn some serious calories in a day, especially for those too busy with work and school to exercise daily. According to the Mayo Clinic, a brisk walk can help maintain a healthy weight, strengthen bones, as well as improve balance and coordination. Walking can also help prevent or manage certain chronic illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type II diabetes. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends about two hours and 30 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise. A reasonable goal for most individuals would be 30 minutes a day or two 15-minute sessions a day. So think twice next time you wait on that parking spot closer to campus or you contemplate taking the elevator. You could possibly accomplish your daily-recommended amount of exercise just parking further or taking the stairs, instead of the elevator. �Sports Editor: Rest/ Gre/ cougarchron.sports@gmail.com Good vs. bad motivation C SUSM H ome G ames from exercise and consciously choosing the right foods to eat.

Estoesta wears a turquoise tank top, black athletic running capris and black Nikes with a silver swoosh. Her hair is styled on-trend into a braid that is loose, but not messy. A floral headband holds any would-be stray hairs out of her eyes. She is probably an average height for a girl, standing a head or so shorter than 5 '10". Very quickly, she reveals herself to be a natural teacher. The Clark Field House Gym, where it's held, is a basketball gym that is used f or many other purposes. It's lined with blue padding on the walls, for some athletic-seeming reason. A lighter than sarid-colored floor glistens with a polyurethane-like substance. Near the back of the room people are waiting for the class to start, possibly scared to be in the front. Many probably came promptly at the beginning of the Clarke Field House's Group Fitness class- Photo by Sarah Hughes The doors to the Clarke Field House (CFH) Gym, where insanity is held. es on Sept. 8. The classes are scheduled through Dec. 5, and like the use of the gym here, are free to students. Teachers and staff are permitted to attend, but have to pay. "For instructors, classes are $20 a month or $5 a class, but for students they're free," the Clark Field House receptionist said. "You might want a mat if you have bad knees and need to modify, but you don't have to have one," Estoesta said before class. With a few minutes left before the class commences, there are already 19 students ready to work out. Estoesta asks the class to move forward to her, though her clear voice is easy to hear. She introduces Insanity briefly and talks about changes she has made to her lesson plan since last class. She appears organized, with a page of "blocks" printed out and easy to see from the floor since one is standing within a couple feet from it. "Blocks" are how Insanity is laid out. They are a few sets of physical movements, which help to focus on "max interval training." During the "blocks" Estoesta says the important part is to keep moving, modifying as needed. All the while, she always expects each individual's best efforts. She begins the movement part of class at 4:13 p.m. At 4:23 p.m, a newbie to Insanity will feel their lungs burning, even if they are fairly physically active. After another 10 minutes, this same newbie will wonder if time is even passing and whether they will make it through this routine. Yet in another 10 minutes, it becomes easier. Warming-up beforehand can be one strategy that helps the respiratory process. Estoesta gives a modification for many of the moves, especially some that are more difficult or exhausting. She reminds people of the moves periodically and once says "not to fall", as unsure legs seem to slip slightly due to lots of jumping around. A pair of non-slip, grippy tennis shoes seem a sensible decision to always keep in mind. Estoesta is easy to follow and motivating. She gives affirmations and counts. She does the blocks along with the class, but somehow makes it look easy, while simultaneously putting more drive into it. She doesn't even appear to break a sweat. A " ha" type of cry, reminiscent of martial arts, motivates the class to keep going. She walks around giving tips to remember, but doesn't single anyone out with these. Most importantly, she is checking for form and safety. The music is perfectly suited to whatever moves the class does. It is a work-out electronic and pop mix, that slows down for the ending stretch. The moves are different, focused and always new. A side to side move kind of resembles a turtle and hopping becomes core work. A skater move looks visually impressive, like a Just Do It advertising campaign. There are frequent water breaks and it appears that the entire class is choosing to take them. "Blocks" are followed by short, numerous rests. The "blocks" move into arm strength exercises. From an awkward, shaky plank, faces behind look thoroughly worn out. Ablock or two later, Estoesta asks if people want to keep doing pushups. A yes is won by a voisterous group of men at the back of the class, yet many of the women appear to have pushup skills too. In the last few minutes of class, Estoesta ends with some much needed stretching. If an individual has never done Insanity but is moderately active, a lot of sweating should still be expected. Soreness can be felt in the next two days; however, it will not be the worst soreness to ever have experienced. Likewise, an Ibuprofen and stretching will help somewhat. As an encouraging note, Insanity participants can look forward to appreciating their efforts in the results of such intense exercises, as the workout affects the glutes and core and leg muscles. Insanity is offered every at 4:10 p.m on Tuesday and Thursday in the CFH Gym. �Features Editor: Students supplement income with on-campus jobs By Beulah Supriya StaffWriter With high tuition rates showing no signs of significant decrease, many students have opted for campus jobs. According to CSUSM students, working on campus seems to be the safest and most convenient option around. Although this isn't the only reason, it is a major one. CSUSM student Louis Adamsel, who holds a part time job in Jamba Juice, expressed what he enjoys most about his j ob on campus. The opportunity to meet new people who h e'd never known otherwise and having an understanding manager were definitely the highlights of his j ob. Another aspect of the j ob Adamsel appreciates is the flexibility that is offered for students who work on campus. There is no clashing of classes and work because the shifts are based on the class schedule. He emphasizes that flexibility is necessary for students. He adds that managers also understand the importance of classes and are very accommodative of all the student organizations. However, the least favorable part of his j ob involves the dreaded rush hour. CSUSM student Elizabeth Rodriguez, an RA at the UVA, agrees how important flexibility is in the context of college life. Rodriguez explained that aside f rom applying and Bryant organizes the cycling classes for campus REC. As part of the cycling team, they were asked if anyone was interested in leading a group exercise for which she volunteered. "While helping others become fit, I myself have been able to improve in various areas," Bryant said. "That's how something interesting and familiar turned into a j ob." Bryant advises students regarding campus jobs. To those who are interested in obtaining or working on campus it is important to maintain a positive attitude as things do tend to get challenging. "Being motivated is important," Bryant said. "It also helps to stay focused."

Rodriguez emphasizes that her favorite aspect of working at the UVA is the community she creates. "Being the one who gets to create a small community and show care to others is what I like the most," Rodriguez said.

CSUSM Sociology professor Garry Rolison also discussed some excuses other students have used. " It's computer problems, the computer took my paper, I forgot to get my disk, I went to print it out, but the printer is no longer working," Professor Rolison said. Among other notables Professor Rolison said to have had included excuses such as, " It's today? I thought it was yesterday," "I don't remember this, you sure you said it was due today," "I didn't read the book so I couldn't answer anything," or " I d idn't know what you were talking about, I was so confused I couldn't write the assignment." CSUSM Physics professor Chuck DeLeone stated that h e'd received a range of excuses, some of them among the usual cliche excuses, while others maintained more creativity. "The other popular excuses being some traffic or vehicular excuses," Professor DeLeone said. "Every time an assignment was due, something happens to the road." Professor DeLeone began to chuckle as he remembered a more recent excuse that occurred during finals week.

Student loan debt continues to balloon at an ever faster rate due to increasing interest rates and campus tuitions and fees. At CSUSM alone, fees have gone up 97.4 percent in the last seven years. Seeing the enormity of the Contributor Hey you, I can see your bitter judgment. If you had to check right now, this article is one hundred percent about you. I get it, you're young and you've spent your whole life listening to what mommy and daddy taught you what being "lady-like" is all about. But just because what mommy and daddy believe is "lady-like" isn't how women at CSUSM choose to dress, doesn't mean you can judge others based on their wardrobe. that mqurn ing us be more successful at CSUSM. They are simply transforming what was once an affordable institution of public higher education into a private university that sucks money out of our pockets and burdens us with more debt. If we had the money to go to a private university, we might have, but since we don't, we chose CSUSM because of its reputation for quality education at a cost we could actually afford. So here's the big question, where does the money from all our fees go? Not to our faculty- that's for sure. They have not received more than a 1.34 percent raise since 2008, even though they're the ones most responsible for providing us with quality education. It's also apparently not going to the opening of more classes and class sections that we all could really use. The top CSU executives' salaries rose 71 percent from 1998 to 2011. CSUSM alone currently spends over $1 million a month (yes, a month!) on administrative salaries. That's not right, we need to stop the increases in student fees ("success" or otherwise), and make sure our money is well-spent. Administrators seem to be sucking in way more money than they should, and many students are paying more and more to have fewer available classes and less attention from their overburdened, underpaid professors than they deserve. We need to show the administration that we will no longer sit quietly while they gouge students with fee hikes and "success fees" and lo-ball faculty with inadequate pay.

This isn't okay. We're all here to earn an education.

Who gives a crap about what that boy who sits two seats behind us thinks? You look amazing. Ladies, let's take a step back and look at how we're portraying ourselves and our self-worth. Do you really n iasiir^ i fipmm mm care about what a guy thinks, at all? You shouldn't. If you do, you have bigger problems to worry about than the girl who decided she was comfortable in wearing whatever she feels like to class. Guys, you should respect women, regardless of their wardrobe. Women should not be perceived as mere sexual objects, and they are not objects for your viewing pleasure or judgement.

While there exists a small percentage of students who are involved on campus, it is overshadowed by an even greater percentage of students who lack the necessary cultural sensitivity in making our campus a welcoming environment for all marginalized and underrepresented communities. Cultural sensitivity can be defined as being aware of the cultural differences and similarities that exist between groups, which allows you to understand the multifac- eted global and local issues that trickle down and impact students on a personal, academic and behavioral level. Though there are a few faculty and staff that go out of their way to help students, there are many more who by choice or ignorance do not push a more inclusive campus where cultural sensitivity is practiced and embedded within our campus community.

Amongst ourselves there are faculty, staff and student organizations who have taken the steps to create a positive change on our campus and towards our student academic careers. We only ask that you make a commitment to better this university for the genuine interest of all future incoming students. Here are three simple ways in which you can join these efforts: Whenever you hear a rude comment made by a peer in class, challenge yourself to speak up. Regularly attend campus events that are hosted by cultural or social justice oriented groups. Push yourself to get involved in the community and do research about global issues. In Solidarity, United Students of Color Coalition Why psychology is best major By Tiffany Trent Senior Staff Writer While the overall quality of the food served in the USU is satisfactory, the fact remains that the prices for what you are receiving are higher than what some nearby competitors charge for similar products. Since the USU opened in January 2014, the majority of students have taken advantage of the quick and convenient food choices that are offered in the dining area on the fourth floor. The options offered in the U m caver a^wide range of dining opportunities, from Mexican food at Wholly Habaneros to the fried American food options at World of Wings. While these meals are generally high quality and the portion sizes generally reflect the amount you paid for them, these options still add up to a lot of money if you eat there on a regular basis. The fact is that across the street there are the same general options for a cheaper price than what is offered here on campus. Subversions is basically the same as Subway; however, at Subversions you are paying $6 to $7 for a footlong when the same kind of sandwich can be made at Subway across the street for $5 to $6. The same goes for Wholly Habaneros, whose menu is similar to that of Mr. Taco across the and staff who go above and beyond to create a more cultural intelligent campus. The institution forgives and forgets those who commit ignorant racist actions, which go against the university's mission and vision.

Also, at Mr. Taco the prices for the same options are ^generally lower, or include sides. Mr. Taco is the same quality as what is offered over here and may even be better, although that is for each individual to decide for themselves. Even World of Wings has a cheaper option across the street in the form of the Ralph's grocery store, where they sell most of the same options in their deli and even options that aren't offered here by the pound for a lower price. The only option in the USU that isn't across the street is Panda Express, which is the only Chinese food place near the campus and has a standardized price since it is a wellknown chain restaurant. Even the places that have a good portion size compared to the price can become very pricy when eaten on a regular basis, and the same goes for the options across the street. The best way to eat on a college budget is to try to only buy food from restaurants on occasion, because even if the price is fair it is still cheaper to make food at home. Even if you don't think you have time to make food for yourself in the morning, you can make it the previous night before bed and keep it in the refrigerator to quickly grab the next morning. The fact is that the grocery store is the best deal and the majority of the options here can be purchased much cheaper from the store. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide whether they would like to explore cheaper dining options or if it is worth paying an extra dollar or two for the convenience of on-campus dining. But at least consider buying food off campus or bringing a packed lunch from home Student takes stance against rape through visual expression By Alex Maravillas StaffWriter She has been carrying her mattress around campus for more than a couple of weeks for her senior thesis, which will continue until her alleged rapist is dislodged from the university.

The posters are on display on the third floor of the Kellogg library gallery and are open to the public. "During World War I , the government started its first major and organized propaganda, it was so effective that the same methods were used for the WW2 as well," the curator, Heather Northway, said. Posters on display are a part of Northway's private collection. With experience ranging from collection management to giving curatorial gallery talks, her main aim in having the propaganda highlighted this year is not only to observe the centenary of the First World War but also to honor the soldiers, show the changes in society and give students a new perspective with the help of these compelling visual aids. Though under the backdrop of the war, many topics are covered by the posters, right from recruitment of soldiers to buying Liberty bonds to support the war. It is during this time that Uncle Sam became an iconic figure and stayed that way ever since. Buying Liberty bonds weren't popular at first due to the low interest rates, but as the government got support from celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, the propaganda gained momentum. SAN DIEGO COMIC FEST! RETURNS 5AN PIEGO COMIC PEST/ By Elizabeth Roush StaffWriter Let's face it, Comic-Con tickets are almost impossible to- get. People spend years trying to attend this hallowed epiphany of geek fandom only to have their dreams crushed by its menacing popularity and demand. But take heart. There are other ways to satisfy your inner (or outer) nerd, and this is where San Diego Comic Fest (SDCF) soars to the rescue. Coming to San Diego on Oct. 17, 18 and 19 this year at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center, the festival boasts a "friendly, intimate Comic-Con experience" that reflects a young, blossoming San Diego International Comic-Con at its modest beginnings. This is a convention where fans can interact directly with a number of professionals they admire. The epic list of professionals for this year includes Nebula and Hugo Award-winning authors, artists who worked on animated classics such as "Avatar: The Last Airbender," ef- fects creators from movies including "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back", not to mention Comic Festl's guest of honor, the iconic comic artist Neal Adams. Not only is SDCF's guest list studded with science fiction and comic big shots, but the festival also announces a number of fun attractions. There will be a café themed after Rob Serling's "The Twilight Zone," live music by Madus as well as The Digital Lizards of Doom, live sculpting demos and a caricaturist among other daytime attractions. The festival's Artist Alley contains an impressive number of talented exhibitors and there will be a slew of interesting panels to attend. On top of all this, San Diego Comic Fest will host its second annual masquerade, the "Masked Ball," on Saturday night. The hero that fanatics of Southern California deserve, San Diego Comic Fest 2014 promises a fun and relaxing weekend for appreciators of science fiction and comics. It's a place to meet fans and professionals, try something new and indulge your nerdier side. "Induldge your nerdier side!" a Soldier." Ms. Northway brought to notice the fact that all shown in the posters were fair skinned, but times have changed and now various ethnicities are shown as an integral part of the country. Women slowly gained prominence in society and it was during this time that they started working in numbers which was more than ever before.

You pay for the movie, the popcorn and the Swedish Fish with money and the experience with your time. "The Maze Runner" is a breath of fresh air, as it is everything a dystopian book-tofilm adaptation should be and is anything but a processed film that fades from memory on the walk to your car. Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf, The Internship) finds himself elevated into the Glade, a forest inhabited by boys ranging in age from pre-teen to young adult. A massive mechanized stonewall surrounds the Glade with doors that open at sunrise and close at sunset. These doors reveal the maze, a complex network of corridors whose wall shift into different position every night. The Gladers notice Maze that Thomas is unlike the others because of his unrelenting curiosity. It is clear to everyone, especially the first Glader introduced to the maze, Alby (Ami Ameen) and the suspicious Gaily (Will Poulter) that his arrival is significant as things begin to change after a relatively predictable three years of coexistence. As Thomas attempts to make sense of his purpose and identify their imprisonment without any memory of the past, the movie takes the audience on a thrill ride as heart-pumping as a night in the maze. O'Brien was unquestionably convincing as the brave Thomas. Every relationship formed between O'Brien and his co-stars seemed genuine and made for a more poignant delivery of the film's message. Aside from the theme of bravery and the responsibility that comes with it, "The Maze Runner" communicated the impor- Netflix Review 5/5 find.

There was never a dull moment and the end had me marking the calendar for the next installment. "The Maze Runner" holds its own with impressive cinematography and a fastpaced storyline that felt as if it ended too soon. There are elements of mystery, action and beauty, leaving no base uncovered. The only area for improvement I noticed was 2/5 the character development but since there are more chapters to this one, that may come later. I also wish "The Maze Runner" came before "Divergent" and "The Giver" because it seems as though the young adult, post-apocalyptic wave is losing momentum, as did the vampires and the zombies. Still, this one is a truly entertaining experience that is very much worth the watch. P AWS Odd Thomas is an odd failure dead every day of the year.

If they don't succeed, dark forces will overwhelm the town. Fast paced and clever, "Odd Thomas" has a lot of promise. It's an intriguing mystery with moments that will make you laugh out loud. The movie stars the talented Anton Yelchin who is best known for his portrayal of Chekov in the recent Star Trek movies and also known as Charlie Bartlett from "Charlie Bartlett." With that kind of acting talent, you'd think that nothing could go wrong and it doesn't for the first quirky and enjoyable hour. It's better than average as a supernatural, comedy/ mystery, but the movie sets itself up as a completely charming romance as well. To skirt a spoiler, we'll just let you know that there is a common plot twist that allows the male character to avoid any relationship maintenance and in short, fails the romance angle. Some Dean Koontz readers forgave that plot twist are ongoing Odd Thomas fans, which might mean another movie one of these days. I may be too mad to watch another one, which is a shame because "Odd Thomas" started off so great. You decide, but for me it's two out of five paws. �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com The Cougar Chronicle, Wednesday, October 8,2014 A& E CD and DVD dropping A l t - J a n d A g e of Extinction By Ariel Robbins Radio Assistant New Years Day "Sleeplessly Embracing" Alt-J's new album At long last, English band Alt-J dropped their second album "This Is All Yours" on Sept. 22. Barely into its highly anticipated availability, "This Is All Yours" reached number one on charts in the UK, and topped globally in five other countries. The band's previous album, "An Awesome Wave," was nominated for three British music awards and went on to win the Mercury Award, issued to the UK's best album by well-regarded officials in the industry. "Hunger of the Pine" was the first track released and propelled fans into a conflicting onset of emotions due to the unexpected cameo of Miley Cyrus after the first few verses. Love her or hate her, most can't help but head-bob anyways. There's no denying that "Hunger of the Pine" is only one of thirteen knockout tracks that'll have you wondering what on earth you'd been doing with your life before listening. Luckily for fans, Alt-J is touring across both America and Europe to promote their new album. More information their tour can be found at: aljband.com.

Fans of awesome robots and gnarly special effect geared action will have their movie thirsts quenched by Michael Bay's, Transformers: Age of Extinction. Despite harsh reviews and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 3.8/10 from the critics and 3.3/5 from the fans, lovers of blaring mechanical robofights and Mark Wahlberg will not be disappointed. The story follows protagonist Cade Yeager (Wahlberg) in his desperate attempts to rescue his daughter, Tessa, from her bounty hunter kidnappers. Of course being a Transformer movie, the plot could not be complete unless the world was under attack and needed the assistance of Bumblebee and his fellow robotic buds.

CSUSM student arrested in sextortion case B Y K A T U N SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF A CSUSM student from Temecula has been arrested for allegedly hacking into the webcams and computers of 30 to 150 women worldwide in what federal officials are calling a "sextortion" case. Jared James Abrahams, 19, a second-year psychology major, could be facing up to two years in federal prison for crimes relating to filming women without their knowledge, according to an FBI report. He allegedly took nude photos ad videos of his vietims and threatened to post the content online unless they sent him more nude images or they agreed to go on O UR N EXT ISSUE Oct 23,2013 in other countries that are assumed to be Ireland, Canada, Russia and Moldova. The case unveiled by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office said that the investigation began in March 2013 , when an 18-year-old victim contacted authorities and they traced the unauthorized computer access to the suspect. After searching Abrahams' home in June with the help of a federal search warrant, authorities discovered hacking software and pictures/videos of some of the women he had allegedly blackmailed. According to the complaint, the suspect used the domain name "cutefuzzypuppy" to infect various victims' computers. That domain was later discovered to have been used on different Oct. 8, the FBI reported that Abrahams was released on bond and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4.

Only with the survivor's permission can names be released to the Dean of* Students for the sake of dealing with incidents between students in order to perform a concurrent investigation for consideration of student involvement (restraining orders, class changes, etc.) considered for the students safety. Another resource for students to turn to is Student Health and Counseling Services. The staff advocates for survivors and help to do only what the individual is willing to do. Should an individual have the desire to change their mind about reporting later on, they are always available to open an investigation or press charges at a later date, regardless of time lapse. Sensitivity of the survivors' wants is the main focus. Everything at SHCS is "If a student doesn't report they miss out on ensuring their own health and they miss out on preventing a potential assault on another person," Dr. Nicholson said. Rape Aggression Defense Courses (R.A.D.) are also offered on campus at limited times throughout the year due to limited instructor availability. Classes normally occupy about 20 students. Instructors include Cathy Nguyen and Sergeant Stuart. "The course takes a lot of staff effort. It is a 12-hour training that is broken up into three to four days. A majority of abductions happen to women. We're empowering women to fight back," Nguyen said. "The degree of safety that is offered on this campus is gqod. Students can go to a blue box and call, but that's not going to help you when you're in the dorms, so it's really getting to the culture of student life and in fostering an environment where students feel supported in reporting sex crimes because my experience so far in conversations with students is that they don't feel that way. They feel that sometimes if they do report that there is a lot of questioning of the typical victim blaming of these kinds of questions that we would hope are out of our culture at this point but apparently are not," says Dr. Pamela Redela.

Despite the fact that this school has been rated the "safest CSU in the state," students cannot assume that violence does not exist because this campus still has its problems. "It happens.. .can't say bad Come to Craven 3500 Tuesdays during U-Hour to partake in the Cougar Chronicle meetings and become a part of our staff University Student Union opening Spring 2014 B Y ANNE HALL DESIGN EDITOR Many students have likely seen the construction occurring near the César Chavéz stairs on the south side of campus. This fast-materializing building is set to be the future student union at CSUSM. Much deliberation has taken place over the making of this building and plans for how tofinanceit. It is to be a lounge area for students, but some feel the plan is wrought with problems. Students this semester are paying a mandatory student success fee to offset the costs. With this in mind, it is important to consider how connected students are with S its construction. Current opinion from students on the finalization of the facility and its usefulness vary. "I graduate in a year-anda-half, so if the facility is open by next spring I will probably use it," said Lana, Cook, an Arts and Technology major. The Academic Excellence and Student Success Fee Proposal Alternative Consultation Report and Open Forums in Spring 2013 said that state funding drastically dropped since 2007 despite the growing numbers in enrollment over the years. In 2008 and 2009, CSUSM established a University Student Union Alternative Consultation Process that presented an idea to build the Student Union building and charge a student fee to pay for the establishing costs. The Student Union is intended to "enhance the quality of campus life through unique programs and services which offer casual as well as purposeful, in-depth opportunities for student engagement and co-curricular learning," as stated in Appendix C of the CSU Alternative Consultation Proposal. This facility was developed with hopes of creating stronger student community and camaraderie. Benefits were listed as providing opportunities for student employment, campus involvement and leadership development. Other benefits to creating the facility were more food options, fostering a space for Wim Caregiver/ Child Care Work Provide care, supervision, training to individuals with autism, developmental disabilities and special needs.

It may not be done on time, but I have faith that I will be able to walk in there and make it a home," Armand Gutierrez, a Communications major, said. Arguments against the construction of this building stated that students should not have to pay for a building they won't be able to use; increased fees will make college less affordable. Common arguments include, "CSUSM is a commuter campus that does not need services to support student life" and "we do not need a Student Union because we have the Clarke" (Appendix C). Other opposition points to the . student library. Some faculty and students voted that such a development was viewed as unnecessary and the official report acknowledges that the building is focused more on bringing businesses to the campus than it is on initiating student comradery. The cost of developing this establishment has been placed on the presently enrolled students that are expected to be able to use the facility. Voters were from the 2008-2009 attendance years. However, some people can argue that since the building is being paid for by students* five years later, they did not have as strong of a say in its construction as others before them did. "I don't even know what that is," Rico Palmerin, a Literature and Writing major said when asked about the Student Union. Another factor of concern is the recession that was still evolving in 2008. Students of all walks of life have been struggling to afford college. In consideration of investment cost, operating income . and projected estimated cash flow shown in the development phase do not account for present economic situations. "I probably won't use the Student Union because I have no interest in any of the facilities offered there unless the student newspaper was moved into an office there. Also, because there's already so much money that I'm having to put into my education that I can't afford any extra expenses," says Blanca Sarabia, a Sociology major on campus. Businesses approved for operation within the Student Union include: food services, restaurants, auditorium, meeting rooms, coffee shops, catering services, retail shops, student areas and operations and storage facilities. The new building is scheduled for completion November 2013. It will be open to students in January 2014. �N EWS N ews Editor: Sarah Hughes cougarchron.news@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, OCT 9,2013 13 Graduation is a privilege, not a right The CSUSM B Y Z ACH SCHANZENNBACH S TAFF W RITER Upon seeing a square topped cap and a tassel hanging over the side; there is one word that comes to the mind - "graduation." Most CSUSM students have experienced the process of graduating with their friends in high school, and will hopefully experience it again at the end of college. So what's in store for the graduates-to-be? There are some basic requirements and advice that CSUSM graduate hopefuls might want to keep in mind. Graduates in the past, of various majors, have braved this process. To graduate, thefirstthing you need to have is a minimum GPA of 2.0. For that, you need at least 85 semester units to apply for graduation. To get a degree, you need 120 units, 40 of which must come from upper-division Save Me! process courses. With these in hand, you can apply; just make sure to apply before the semester in which you expect to graduate. Of course, these are the bare necessities. Further preparation, according to CSUSM's Academic Advisor David McMartin, can be made by touching base with your academic advisor and double-checking to be sure you've completed all your requirements. McMartin also recommends students find a pace that allows them to get the best college has to offer while still balancing their personal lives. Also, if students are trying to graduate as soon as they can , they might consider taking a couple of courses over the summer. As of May 2012, CSUSM boasts a total of 28,000 graduates in its more than 20 years. The majority of graduating students, 52 percent, are between the ages of 26 and 35.

The deadline for applications without a $15 late fee is Feb. 2. The deadline for applying for spring is from June 1 to Sept. 15. • T he f uture o f f inances a nd r etirement B Y C HELSEY SCHWEITZER S TAFF W RITER More than one-in-four Americans don't have money saved. This statistic from CNN Money is made more concerning by the projected state of Social Security . To college students, * retirement seems far in the future and many therefore don't concern themselves with thoughts of saving. This can be a mistake that has both long and short term consequences. In the short term, not saving money can hurt in emergency situations. If a person found themselves in an unexpected situation, such as being laid off or being injured and unable to work, they would need to rely on what they had saved during this emergency period. However, according to CNN Money, "about 49% of Americans don't have enough money saved to cover three months of expenses [in an emergency situation]." In addition to this short term effect, there is the long term effect on retirement. According to FOX Business, "social security will be 'insolvent' by 2033," Tins doesn't mean that social security is going to completely die off, but rather that "social security can only pay out in benefits...roughly 75% of the amount it will be obli- gated to pay." Due to the fact that social security will not be able to fully support the -current generation's retirement, saving now is more important than ever. Saving may seem like a daunting task at this point, especially with the strict college budget and the fact that many employers are paying with prepaid debit cards rather than paychecks. These prepaid debit cards are in widespread use in the country, with over 4.6 million active cards in use since 2012 according to the research firm Aite Group. These cards are making it easier to spend and harder to save, especially with the risk of hidden inactivity and withdraw fees. With all of this stacked against the average college student, saving seems harder than ever. There are a few things that can be done to help with savings, however. The primary way to save is to set aside some money here and there. Any little bit helps and this will set up a habit of savings that can be built upon when an actual career is found outside of college and more than the minimum wage is being earned. In addition tp small savings, look at the "latte factor." In the book The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach, this concept shows how spending small amounts of money can lead up to a big total. Take for example, a daily cup of coffee. This is a staple to most college students, but at over two dollars for most cups of coffee and 7 days in a week, it results in $56 a month for the coffee. If buying a cup a day was reduced to every two or three days and the rest of the time the coffee was made at hpme, that would save money that could then be put into savings instead of spent. This applies to many small items that most college students pay no attention to that can lead to large amounts of money slipping out of their hands. Many cups of coffee cost more than a seemingly-insignificant two dollars. The Cougar Chronicle decided to put Bach's "latte factor" idea to the test on campus. A popular seasonal favorite, the pumpkin spice latte, costs $5.15 for a venti 20 fluid ounce at the campus Starbucks, and $4.00 for a 20 fluid ounce at Campus Coffee on campus. If bought four days a week, pumpkin spiced lattes cost one $1,071.20 per year at Starbucks, and $832 per year at Campus Coffee. If one works approximately 50 years, or ages 18 to 68 for example and buys coffee 4 days of every week during that time, coffee could cost one $53,560 over 50 years at Starbucks, and $41,600 in 50 years at Campus Coffee. Most people won't be shopping at the campus coffee f 1 i in M W Every penny counts. Watch it grow as spending habits change. Photograph by Chelsey Schweitzer. houses for that long, and the favorite pumpkin spiced latte is not available all year, but non-campu£ coffeehouses often have similar prices and other flavors appeal during the less autumnal months. This is not to say indulging in seasonal treats and coffee is to be avoided stringently. Some people rarely buy them. Other culprits might be cigarettes, trendy clothing that won't be warm in a month, or snacks that could be bought cheaper in bulk. The idea Bach presents is to monitor the little 'insignifi- cant' purchases one makes for a few days and then do the math to see how much these treats cost over a lifetime. In addition to saving in a personal savings account, a 401(k) plan, typically through one's work, is another option for saving for retirement. Under this plan, a set amount of retirement savings are deducted automatically from each paycheck either before or after taxation. In addition, whatever price is agreed on being taken from the paycheck is often matched by most employers to a certain percentage, doubling the savings. .These small methods of saving money now can lead tofinancialsecurity and less stress in the long run. With many questioning the future of social security and little people saving, college students , find themselves in a place wl^re they must anticipate emergencies and save small amounts of money. The question of who will provide for them later in life is one that many find unanswered. �Men a nd w omen's g olf o utlook B Y SHAINA PARDO STAFF WRITER Men and Women's Golf Outlook Things look great for golf with both Men's and Women's teams off to great starts. The men's golf team has moved up one spot from last year to number 2 in the NAIA national rankings. They recently won the La Verne Invitational with a freshman placing first in the tournament and four more members of the team placing in the top 20. This years men's golf team is twice as strong as last year with all of their new recruitments. Coach Greg Hutton expects the men's golf team to work hard, support each other and become a family. They have one common goal and that is to win their second regional title. In regards to his team, Hutton said, "They have a chance to bring back another win especially with outstanding individual Ben Itterman, a senior transfer from University of Oregon, who could be the piece of the puzzle to help win nationals". The men hope to win in their biggest tournament of the fall, the Northern New Mexico Invite on September 30th to October 1st, which included NCAA division II teams. It is only preseason and The Lady Cougars are already ranked third in the NAIA. The lady cougars ended their 2012-2013 sea- son ranked fourth in nationals. There are six returning players and seven new women added to the team. Coach Cindy Navel is excited to see how the team has improved with every new season. Navel wants her team to be focused on their mental and physical game so their goal of winning nationals will be accomplished. The women's team has atotof potential for this season, especially with the returners and talented recruits. They received the highest post season ranking, at number four and started off the pre-season right placing fifth at the Point Loma Nazarene University Fall Preview.

With a 2009 national title already under their belt, the Surf Club is looking to recapture their crown. CSUSM has been a perennial power every single year and has developed a surf team that represents character and dedication in and out of the water. Kyle Marre is a prime example of this excellent character. Growing up in Carlsbad, Marre started surfing at the age of 11. His father and brother influenced his surf style at a young age. This has cultivated his surfing into a work of art, and he is now a fierce competitor for CSUSM in. the NSSA collegiate division. Mane finished the 2012/2013 season ranked 39 in the southwest division and won the Surf for the Sea contest. Along with success in the collegiate arena, Marre has found success in the classroom. Graduating from Carlsbad High School in 2012, he achieved a 4.0 GPA, took honors classes and never received a "B." Now he has a 3.97 GPA and has been on the Dean's List both semesters he has attended CSUSM. Marre is the true definition of a student-athlete and strives to be the best in all of his activities. In terms of this year, Marre is competing for his second year and hopes to push the team deeper in the post-season with his aerials and flaw- less style. "I'm really stoked on the team this year and excited to start practicing to compete. With Dr. Puha running the team and Cienna Norton as captain, we are planning some practices to get ready and to bond as a team," Marre said. There are several returning surfers that are also familiar faces on the national scene, including Jason H'dez, Cienna Norton, Max Roseman and James Elkins. Try outs were on Sept. 22, and "there was also a lot of talent at the tryout this year with Taylor Divine leading die way and a full new roster," Marre stated. With the first event of the season on Oct. 25 and 26 at Blacks Beach, the CSUSM Surf Team looks to open with a bang and contend on the national scene.

An avid soccer player since the time she was four-yearsold, Porter was recruited during her junior year of high school to play for CSUSM. Since then, she has been actively involved in building relationships with her teammates and refining her soccer skills. After tearing her meniscus in both knees during her sophomore year at CSUSM, Porter had to be redshirted for a year before she could join her teammates on the field. Due to the fact that there are 36 girls on the team and 11 players on thefieldat a time, Porter expressed that getting playing time requires going hard in every practice and showing improvement from week to week. The Women's Soccer cocaptain challenges herself on the field and in the classroom, evident in her dedication to the team and her classes. Porter has developed a bond with her teammates, as well as an appreciation for the hard work it takes for all of them to be at the top of their game. Porter's academic goals reflect her go-getter personality; deciding to double major is part of what keeps her constantly on the move. Majoring in Business and Psychology may seem like an odd decision, but in her case, it makes complete sense. "My biggest influence is my dad, since he double majored in college. I decided that I wanted to do that as well. I want to get into sports psychology, seeing as I am an athlete. But I feel like knowing about business will help me also, so I want to put two and two together and combine all of my favorite things," Porter said. Part of the reason she is so successful is because Porter carefully structures her school schedule based upon when she has obligations to athletics. Playing soccer at CSUSM requires a keen sense of organization, athletes having to take into account the demands of game and practice schedules during the fall and conditioning during the spring. Taking four classes in- Dani Porter in action.

"I don't really stress out about my schedule. I feel like the more things I have going on, the more organized I am," Porter said.

Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 1, the government went into a shutdown, furloughing all federal employees who were not deemed essential, which included those employees of the National Park Service (NPS). Even the website for the NPS is shutdown. All of the nearly 400 national parks across the .U.S. had to put up signs and barricades to turn away day visitors, and oroi* night visitors were given 48 hours to leave the parks . Oct. 1 also marked the 123 birthday of beautiful and beloved Yosemite National Park. Although the Yosemite Grant was signed on June 30, 1864, the park celebrates its birthday on Oct. 1, but not this year. All planned activities were canceled and future events were put in limbo until the resolution of the shutdown. San Diego's own Cabrillo National Monument has also been closed. Aside from A V V 0 9 disappointing hundreds of school children who had field trips canceled, Cabrillo, like Yosemite, has birthday plans that are now in jeopardy. Oct. 14 will mark the 100 birthday of this monument since President Woodrow Wilson made a proclamation to have part of Fort Rosecrans reserved to commemorate Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's landing. Though the park has been celebrating its 100 birthday all year, the weekend of Oct. 12 through 14 is particularly jam-packed with events and activities that may also have to be canceled. Hopefully the shutdown will be lifted before Oct. 12 arrives. As for the Joshua Tree trip, campus recreation is evaluating the possibility of rescheduling the trip onco the parks re-open. The next campus recreation group is planned to go desert camping in Anza, Nov. 2 through 3. Unless the government goes for a new record for being shutdown (the longest previous shutdown lasted 21 days), then the trip to Anza should be in the clear. Sign-ups for that trip are scheduled to begin Oct. 14 at the Clarke.

This unique program pairs small groups of students with local businesses or non-profit organizations that have submitted proposals for projects that students can work on. Since this is a requirement for the College of Business Administration, students are encouraged to apply to a variety of proposals and are then matched with the business based on their skills, background and interests. In this process, students work in partnership with their corporate sponsors under the supervision of a faculty member to plan, develop and complete the proposed project. Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this experience is that seniors have the chance to design every step of their process, from conception to the finished product. One specific senior experiono© group at CSUSM is working alongside a local small-business to create an app called Sparkify.

In addition to making friends and finding dates, this app may have other uses in the corporate sector as well. "A lot of money is spent on training people how to work a room, how to network.This app helps to facilitate [these skills]," the company's consultant, Carmen Di Padova, said.

BY CECIL CHADWICK PROFESSOR OF WOMEN'S STUDIES understanding about why we need to celebrate this difference in thefirstplace. , ^ One of the great cultural lies we buy into is the notion that we can have it all and that oppression is only a matter of perspective. Oppression seems to be more about how you feel instead of where you are in the hierarchies of race, gender, class and sexual orientation. As an example, we buy into this idea that white people can feel victimized by the assumption that they are racist and heterosexual people can feel alienated in a center that doesn't also celebrate their straightness. Under this model of inclusion and community, femi- Women in Combat * nists at the Gender Equity Center might be reminded to not impose their feminism on people who come by to hang out. So, the argument for inclusion means you should make men, white people, heterosexuals and allies feel safe. The problem I have with this is that these groups are not in any real or imagined danger on the basis of their identity; it is a reversal'of the original mission of a Women's center or a Pride center on a college campus. The goal is to make a safe space for marginalized or oppressed groups - a political space where sexism, racism and homophobia will not be tolerated as it is in most spaces on campus. ; To perceive racism, sexism and homophobia as a problem of tolerance is really an effect of ideology. The systems of oppression that produce harassment, exploitation and violence are not simply a matter of perspective; they are a matter of politics. Just because you are uncomfortable in a space doesn't mean you are a victim and it doesn't automatically make you right. Just because you're offended doesn't mean the system is working against you. I am supportive of community and inclusion, but I do not think we can put it in front of social justice without losing some of the political significance of these THE COUGAR centers. Social justice must come first. With that said, just because the image of the centers is changing it doesn't mean we cannot and should not continue to bring social justice to these spaces. Politically speaking* we need to continue to bring our feminist, lesbian, gay and queer politics to the community centers and show each other that power is not only possessed by leaders, but it can be exercised productively and politically by all of us who continue our commitment to social justice at the ASI Community Centers.

There are currently 14 smoking areas located on campus, one of which remains controversial. CSUSM provides students with smoking benches for their own smoking pleasure. Entering from the southern most part of campus between the Science Hall 1 and Markstein buildings, people will nin into a pleasant looking bench, often filled with students. Taking a closer look, the tranquil scene rapidly deteriorates as the air becomes filled with a grim haze of cigarette smoke. In 2005 the CSUSM campus adopted the Title Eight California The Markstein smoking bench is an appalling aspect of CSUSM policy. The bench condones student smoking, despite its many devastating risks. It is necessary for the CSUSM authority heads to look at the facts and reexamine current campus smoking policies. This area in particular is a high traffic zone on campus. Thousands of students pass this sector on a daily basis, breathing in the corroded linger of secondhand smoke. Exposure is dangerous, volatile and ultimately unfair to those who refrain from smoking due to health concerns. According to the CSUSM Director of Management and Safety, Regina Frasca, the benches have been in place since 2010. The area was specifically created to provide students a place to smoke in regards to the many challenges the area faced prior to the implantation of the benches. "At the time, it had been a difficult area for the occupants of the Science building and those who were walking between the Science Hall I and Academic Hall. Smokers lined up and sat on the existing planters and benches aside each buildings which caused many complaints and enforcement challenges," Frasca said. The initial construction of the Markstein smoking area was provided by the campus in order to distance smokers from the surrounding buildings. Therefore, 'accommodating' the needs of campus smokers. According to the antismoking campaign, Truth, "Big Tobacco's products kill 137 people from secondhand smoke everyday," The Markstein smoking area is an injustice to nonsmokers on campus. CSUSM is an educational community and it is the responsibility, of the campus to protect both its faculty and students from exposure to secondhand smoke. The relationship between smokers and nonsmokers remains strained. However, the social impli- cations of someone harming their own body are far less than when a person's habits begin to affect the health of others around them. There is always the possibility for change. Frasca provides nonsmokers with hope. "The philosophy is that when this designated smoking area closes, the campus community will continue to have a nice sitting area central to these buildings," Frasca said. Thousands of. universities throughout the US have already adopted nonsmoking policies on campus. Students in support of a smoke-free learning environment need to begin advocating for CSUSM campus health and wellbeing. The only way to achieve reformation is to demand change. It is time for students claim their right to fresh air. Photograph of CSUSM student taking a smoke break in the Markstein smoking section by Anne Hall.

The majority of students primarily complain about the many stairs that have to be climbed multiple times a day. As a freshman who is not used to climbing stairs to get to every class, I agree that they can be taxing and a bit of an annoyance some days, but the fact remains that the stairs are a good thing. FH admit that I don't exercise much due to a busy college schedule, which is a situation that I hear other students admit to their friends. With these stairs, we all get exercise that we might not have gotten otherwise. It helps keep even the least active person in better shape than they would have been in without these cumbersome stairs. I also love that the school has many different passages and buildings. I enjoy being able to turn down a hallway and discover that I've never been there before. Most students who have been on campus for a while know where everything is and have long forgotten how exciting it was to discover the many hidden areas the campus has to offer. As a freshman, discovering a staircase or room that I've never been in before is adventurous for me and I look forward to getting lost so that I can experience something new. What I love most about the campus is that it's constantly changing. I, like most students, am eagerly awaiting the opening of the new Student Union that is currently being built. This new addition will not only provide students with a new area to study or just pass the time between classes, but it will also provide every student on campus the ability to explore a new area. Even the seniors will have the opportunity to re-experience the feeling of wonder and excitement that I currently feel as a freshman. �A& E A & E Editors: Faith O rdino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, O C T 9 , 2 0 1 3 11 Film major or film-maker? S tudent s potlight - A rmand G utierrez BYRICOPALMERIN STAFF WRITER Students considering a career infilmmakingmay tend to look toward successful filmmakers for guidance. Now this may include film techniques, common genres and other cinematic components, but this might not involve checking the directors' educational history. Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan; what do all these names have in common?" Other than every one of them being A-list directors and creating numerous films that have blown audiences' minds, made them cry, laugh and wince, well they all also never went tofilmschool. Of those that attended college, several of them majored infieldsranging from physics (James Cameron) to English Literature (Christopher Nolan). There are still other accomplished directors who've made famous films that never attended film school or majored in film. While Star Wars father George Lucas, who majored in film at the University of Southern California, may wag his finger at these hooky-playing camera wielders, clearly there is something unseen about the approach of vetoing formal film education. If so many directors have been enormously successful without academic film education, then does a student who dreams of one day joining these revered directors on Hollywood's go-to list really need to major in or even attendfilmschool? CSUSM senior Armand Gutierrez's experience with filmmaking may help shed some light on this complex question. Gutierrez is a student filmmaker who has made over 60 short films, mostly stop-motion and car- toons. He even took second place in the San Marcos film festival, and many of his videos are on YouTube. The most surprising thing about him? He is a Communications major, and simply createsfilmsas a hobby. On the flip side, director Don Hertzfeldt, who inspired Gutierrez, is a critically acclaimed director who specializes in animation, and graduated from UC Santa Barbara as a film major. Hertzfeldt received the San Francisco" International Film Festival's Lifetime Achievement Award and had numerous films featured in the Sundance Film Festival. -Although Gutierrez plans to usefilmmakingas an instrument of instruction when he teaches communications classes, his success, as well as that of the Hollywood directors mentioned earlier, indicate that filmmaking is more than just learning the concepts and technical lan- Picture o f A rmand G utierrez p rovided b y h imself. guage, but there has to be a creative intuition that somehow translates itself into an enjoyable film. A film available for YouTube and movie lovers to enjoy while munching out on popcorn and laughing with a buddy. After all it really is about the consumers isn't it? For film majors or just those with a hobby, do as Gutierrez does, "serve thé audience," and let creativity do the rest. With that in mind, the decision to grab a camera and start shooting or to enroll in film education does not seem to be as important as the decision to let passion and perseverance flow through the lens. The Comic Book Corner - The Physics of Superheroes B Y F A I T H O RCINO A &E EDITOR Professor James Kakalios of the University of Minnesota applied real world physics to thefictionalsituations of comics in his 2005 book. The book later got an expanded version in 2009 under the title The Physics of Superheroes: Spectacular Second Edition in 2009. In both, he featured well- known characters like Spider-Man and Stoim from Marvel and other comics with an aspect of science, discussing the difference and similarities of their application. While the book is mostly text, it includes a number of illustrations and panels from various comics. Though there are much covered, the terminology and analyses are easy to follow, whether or not Physics or comics are your forte. According to his page on the Physic department of UMN, Kakalios created the book after the formation of his freshman class "Everything I know About Physics I Learned by Reading Comic Books" in 2001. Recently, he consulted the creative team of the "Amazing Spider-Maii" 2012 movie, giving his insight to the staff on the details of the hero's abilities. Professor Kaklios also spoke at various locations, such as San Diego Comic Con International and the Library of Congress while working his research.

Moreover, the film was produced by Lasse Hallstrom and released on Valentine's Day of this year. True love never fails in this American romance thriller featured on Netflix about a young woman's battle with love and abuse. The young woman, Katie, quickly headed out to a small North Carolina town after running away from her abusive husband. In hopes for a fresh start she settled down a few miles away from the small town, Safe Haven. People from Safe Haven slowly start to cast doubt on Katie due to her fuzzy past and her unwillingness to become a part of the closely integrated community, but eventually at her pace she begins to gain the trust between the communities and begins a relationship with a widowed store owner, Alex, who has two young children, Josh and Lexie. Unsuspected secrets and obstacles begin to unfold on her new life and prevent her from starting over.

A lleged student assault prompts d emands f or action I nvestigation s parks c ampus r esponse B Y JASMINE DEMERS ASSISTANT TO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Students have taken a stand against rape and sexual assault in an effort to refocus the conversation around supporting survivors. Demonstrators rallied during U hour on August 26 in Library Plaza with posters, chants and demands for change. Supporters included Cathy Nguyen from Student Health and Counseling Services, as well as members of STARS, Active Minds, the Health and Wellness Center, Sigma Chi, MEChA, STAND, the United Students - pf C^lor C oalition BSU and other CSUSM professors and faculty. The rally was organized in response to the pending investigation of the Tau Rho chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. UPD issued a crime report regarding allegations that in May of this year, a CSUSM student was sexually assaulted at an off-campus party hosted by members of TKE. Students have responded to these claims by protesting against the victimization of survivors, CSUSM students rally in protest against the victimization of survivors.

Karen GuzmXn, who organized the rally along with members of Feminists Anonymous, did this to specifically offer support to survivors of all sexual violence. "Being survivors ourselves, we know what this process feels like," GuzmXn said. "There is so much that goes into being victimized and we just want this survivor to know that we stand behind them." Although TKE is not a recognized organization at CSUSM, the alleged sexual assault is closely associated with students and the surrounding campus community. Jeff Salas, the chapter President of TKE, explains that fraternity members are doing what they can to aid the investigation. "We have been coop- erating with anything that law enforcement has asked us to do to help with the situation," Salas said. The university also responded to these reports by focusing on student welfare and encouraging any victim of sexual assault to take advantage of confidential counseling services. "The safety and well-being of our entire campus community is our highest priority," CSUSM's Public Information Officer, Margaret Chantung, said. "We will not tolerate nor ignore sexual assault and we .will hold members of our community accountable for their actions." Chantung emphasized the university's involve^ ment in this investigation by sharing their partnership with the California Attorney General's Office and local law enforcement. '"^Chese - i ssues : "haver ' l e^ suited in an increase of student concern and public awareness of sexual assault in the community. Karen GuzmXn and other members of Feminists Anonymous explain that being able to confront this violence is the most important thing. "We want to create a campus who is talking about it. We want to facilitate those discussions and eventually change our campus climate," GuzmXn said. Greek Life response to the TKE incident Sororities and fraternities speak up B Y JASMINE DEMERS ASSISTANT TO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Greek Life organizations at CSUSM are looking to move forward from recent news of the investigation of Tau Kappa Epsilon so that they can continue to improve themselves, the campus and the community. Although the local fraternity has not been a recognized organization since 2005, the TKE rape and sexual assault allegations may have had a significant impact on sororities and fraternities at CSUSM. Jason Schreiber, Director of Student Life and Leadership, explains that public scrutiny in this type of situation is inevitable. "Beyond the investigaÙmMimìmm.

B Y KATLIN SWEENEY B Y RYAN D OWNS AND K ATUN SWEENEY NEWS EDITOR & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF For years, students at CSUSM have used the Industrial district on Barham and Discovery Street as a place to park their cars during school hours. However, that's all coming to an end this semester, now that a new City Ordinance is limiting parking in the area to only two hours in some sections, and restricting it altogether in others. Naturally, this presents a problem to students who may need to park on campus for more than just a single class. It's easy to see the effectiveness of the streets near La Moree as a haven for students looking to escape some of the more expensive parking lots offered by the school. However, perhaps most affected by the change are the approximately 300 new students moving into The Quad, itself without a specific, designated parking area. This forces residents to make the often-excessive trip to the parking structure or UVA lot. "You have no choice but to park on campus if you want to go to the classes you paid for, and that's not only expensive, i t's a huge hassle," one student resident at The Quad said. "Not only do I have to walk up a huge hill every time I want to go somewhere, but if I want my car parked the whole day, I have to pay for a parking permit. So basically, living at The Quad now costs $600 more than it used to." Students face parking restrictions on the following streets: Industrial Street, East Carmel Street, Enterprise Street, Distribution Street, Production Street, Hill Dr., Trade Street, Venture Street and La Moree Road. There is two hour parking, 24 hours a day, seven days a week in these sections. However, there is no parking allowed between 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Mondays for street sweeping. Students that are in violation of these new rules will face citations starting at $48 per ticket. The cost of purchasing a parking pass at CSUSM is $643 per academic year and $338 a semester, which leaves students frustrated and searching for alternatives. Students who opt out of this method of payment are forced to either use the ticket systems in the parking lots, which can cost up to $9 a day, orriskparking on campus without any pass whatsoever, which may result in a parking ticket from UPD. "It's completely unnecessary and unfair," one student, who wished to remain anonymous, said. If students choose to opt out of utilizing the parking structure, the other option is purchasing a monthly pass from the Sprinter/Breeze Station. Students are allowed to park their vehicles at any of the sprinter stops for free and then ride the sprinter to campus. This option of purchasing such a pass is available to CSUSM students for $40. However, the city is keen to point out that the matter has more to do with local homeowners and businesses than the school and its costs. Karl Schwann, the Director of Housing and Neighborhood Services, has said that student parking in the area has prevented street sweeping, accumulating up to 1,500 pounds of debris. A lot of this ends up in the sewer, with the ultimate cost of polluting the ocean. The city council voted 5-0 in July on the matter, which also takes into account alleged complaints from businesses and homes on the street. While many students continue to complain and seek out alternatives for parking this semester, there is no plans for changing the current status of parking around the university.

Heart Beat ALS Ice Bucket Challenge defined SY A LEXIS S AUCEDO SPORTS COLUMNIST Who would have thought that a bucket of ice water could raise over $100 million for ALS research, as well as bring awareness to so many? The latest craze has swept the nation the last few months, taking Facebook in particular by storm. All the cool kids are doing it; even celebrities such as LeBron James and Jennifer Lopez have jumped on the bandwagon. So what is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? More importantly, what is ALS? There are many cold water challenges out there, but the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, all its authenticity, can be credited to Pete Frates. According to syracuse.com, Frates is a former Boston College baseball star, who is two years into an ALS diagnosis. The rapidly progressive disease has since claimed Frates' ability to walk and talk. Yet, Frates still managed to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge with a smile last month in Fenway Park, with all of his family and friends by his side. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is considered to be a neuromuscular disease. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease and can be more specifically classified as a motor neuron disease. According to the NIH, motor neurons serve as the communication between the nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body. In ALS, motor neurons die and the brain loses the ability to control voluntary movement. The NIH states that the average life expectancy of individuals with ALS is two tofiveyears and the majority die from respiratory failure* This is due to the weakening of muscles in the diaphragm. The NIH also says that symptoms associated with ALS vary widely from tight muscles to slurred speech. Individuals suffering from ALS do not lose all cognitive ability, therefore they are often aware of the rate at which their body is betraying them. Due to the similarity of symptoms with other diseases, no one test can be used to confirm ALS. As a result, physicians rely on a compilation of neurological exams, as well as an extensive medical history, to diagnose each patient. While the cause of ALS is still unknown, scientists are investigating specific genetic mutations and exposure to certain environmental toxins as possible causes. With over 12,000 individu- als in the United States who are suffering from ALS, an Ice Bucket Challenge might be just what scientists needed to fund research for a cure. According to the New York Daily News, prior to the Ice Bucket Challenge, fundraising efforts for ALS research only raised $26.3 million this past fiscal year. Now, how can you join the already three million people who have donated to ALS? Originally, it was customary to wait for a tag on Facebook, daring you to either complete the challenge within twenty-four hours or donate. This challenge has grown so large it is now a movement and many are accepting the challenge for fun, in addition to donating* Those wishing to donate to ALS research or other charities associated with the disease can visit alsa.org.

B Y ERIK SANDOVAL STAFF WRITER CSUSM appears to have selected the best man to lead the Lady Cougars to new heights as Bobby Renneisen has become the Women's Soccer Head Coach after nearly ten years of assistant coaching experience. Renneisen has credited former women's soccer coach and current men's soccer head coach Ron Pulvers for preparing him Head coach Ron Pulvers instructs players on strategies for upcoming matches. Photo by Miguel Magana. Women's soccer coach Bobby Renneisen heads new era for this new challenge. "I was really fortunate to be able to handle day to day operations during practices as if I were the head coach," Renneisen said. "I wasn't out there just fetching cones, I was able to be a part of the required hands-on duties of coaching, which has allowed me to make a seamless transition into head coach/' With the season being its early stages, Renneisen will be relying upon his veterans, which includes nine seniors and four juniors. Unfortunately, the women's soccer team has been blind sided by a slew of unrelenting injuries, which has forced the squad to redshirt six players. However, according to the new Head Coach, that is the name of the game and that shouldn't prevent his team from achieving success. "We do not have any specific, one standout or all-star type of player on this team," Renneisen said. "We are going to get this done collectively as a unit to become a team that achieves our goals." Men's soccer head coach Ron Pulvers returns with bigger focus Renneisen is confident that his team's leaders will help them succeed this season. "Our captains Nicole Luna and Natalie Lara are players that will have leadership roles, but we have plenty of experienced players that we will rely upon so J look at leadership among the whole squad to be key." Coach Renneisen is looking forward to continuing a winning tradition that includes four Association of • Independent Institutions (A.1.1.) titles, most recently in 2013, along with five appearances at the NAIA national tournament. "We want to repeat as conference champions again and get back to Orange Beach, Alabama to compete with the best teams around the coun try," Renneisen said. "Last season we advanced to the second round and I would like to improve on that by advancing even further into the tournament.-Being able to go play against some of the best teams last year has given us plenty of experience for the upcoming season: B YSHAINAPÀRDO SENIOR STAFF WRITER Ron Pulvers' role in the CSUSM Athletics Department has changed despite continuing as head coach of the men's soccer team. Returning for his ninth season, Men's Soccer Head Coach Ron Pulvers -has decided to focus on just the men's team instead of coaching both men's and women's soccer teams. "I could spend more quality 'time with the players, providing more opportunities for them to learn and it adds life, balance and initiative of NCAA," Pulvers said. Pulvers believes with his new sole focus on the men's soccer team, he better benefit the team entering the NCAA Division 2. As the 2014 season begins, all thé talk is about how exciting it is to be getting ready to join other NCAA competitors next season. Pulvers is ready to end this last season in the NAIA with a bang. "Going to NCAA D2 is a big excitement for everyone," Pulvers said. "It adds to our recruiting profile and being affiliated with the NCAA label is a big recognition and it will help our program in every way. The NCAA will be a challenging experience but it will make us get stronger as a whole team." In regards to this season, Pulvers believes that the men's soccer team has experienced players and a handful of fresh new talent that could benefit the team in massive ways. "He inspires all of us to be better players. How [he is] encouraging and positive about every aspect, and as a result it reflects on how we play and how much we want to be here. We practice harder because of him," senior athlete, Evan Myers, said. The upcoming season appears to be one that the team is looking forward to overall. "He likes to change it up a lot and keeps you on your toes. We have to be aware for , anything he's going to throw at you," athlete, Erik Mueller, said. "I am excited for this season now that he is just coaching the men's [soccer] team. He has so much more time to focus on just the men and he has that extra enthusiasm to pump the team." �cH^rchron.sports@gmaii.com TlIE CoUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER I O , 2 O I 4 S P O R T S * W hat s tudents listen t o a t C ougar g ym Music to keep motivated B Y MACKENZIE CLARK ASSISTANT TO THE SPORTS EDITOR Many CSUSM students often listen to hiphop and rap while running . on the treadmill or lifting weights at The Clarke gym.

Austin Schiff is a student that is not on a sports team this semester, but is a - Clarke regular. An avid listener of music for both reasons of pure motivation and relaxation, Schiff enjoys listening to hip-hop, rap and trap music while working out. "Those beats get me pumped so I am able to perform [my] best," Schiff said. His favorite song, "On Top," produced by his favorite artist, Flume, features a hook by New York based RAP artist T.Shirt, repeating phrases that express a desire to reach "the top." However, not everyone is picky about his or her choice of music. Freshmen men's b asketball player, Dylan Eamigh* has a playlist filled with various artists from genres like hip-hop, rap and R&B that he prefers to put on shuffle. For these and many other students on campus, music is what keeps them pumped throughout the day and during long hours of working out. "Those beats get me pumped..." Projected gymnasium expected to expand student community Building student spirit in the Cougar experience B Y BURTLAND D IXON STAFF WRITER CSUSM takes a huge stride in building campus pride with the addition of a new state-of-the-art basketball gymnasium, scheduled to be complete and ready for use by the start of 2016 women's volleyball season. The possibilities this gym could have for positively impacting the experiences of students are limitless. "I think it's another building to bring the community together," CSUSM third year track athlete, Allen Brown, said. "With the gym, it's like we'll be able to see our basketball team and I know we have a great team but it's just hard to go out and see their games." Due to not having a large gym, CSUSM has struggled in some ways to increase the size of crowds in attendance at games. Lacking a football team at CSUSM seems to also be a common topic of discussion with students and athletes. However, lacking a local gymnasium to cheer for the Cougars that play indoor sports remains one of the biggest concerns on campus. Without this resource, students do not have a large scale location to cheer on their peers and participate in the game day experience. "I think it definitely opens people's eyes to be active in college and with it being on campus people aren't going to worry about driving to the other gym," student Brianny Williams, set to graduate in 2015, said. "I think it will affect our college campus as well as probably get more prospective students instead of students not wanting to come when they see we don't even have a gym." Home basketball and volleyball games are currently played off campus, forcing CSUSM athletes to drive a number of miles to compete in what is considered to be a. "home" game With a staggering 1 percent of students living on campus, this gym will allow the other 99 percent to feel like they are part of a school community and express their Cougar pride.

Because it is separate from administration and is completely confidential, all students, faculty and staff can use this resource without worrying if their feelings will cause problems at work or school . Dr. Fritz Kreisler, from Student Health and Counseling Services, has been part of the Ombuds staff for a few years and has spoken with faculty and staff about personal issues as well as those that arise in the workplace. He has discovered that many times, individuals are in need of guidance to direct them as to how to best address conflict, what the policies and procedures at CSUSM are and how to find solutions. "I think that it helps tb find actual pathways, bring people together and sometimes work towards a compromise," Kreisler said. "It is amazing how much you can sort it out into this or that. We look at the options you have, how you can move past things and sort out issues while shedding light on them." Dr. Kara Kornher, from Disabled Student Services, joined the Ombuds staff eight months ago to serve as the consultant for students. She has found that all students can benefit from an open, informal conversation with someone that is willing to listen and help. "It is the opportunity to see problems get solved and to see people take responsibility, and take charge, of what is happening to them," Kornher said. "This way, they do not feel like a passive victim. They have choices, options and they can make informed decisions." Both Kornher and Kreisler credit the Ombuds Office for being a unique resource in the sense that neither of them will repeat any of the information that is told to them and they do not keep records of who visits the office. Any notes that are taken during a session are immediately shredded to keep the highest degree of confidentiality in place.

Extended learning: CSUSM self-support division Learning in school and beyond B Y JAMES MASSENGALE W EB ASSISTANT Photo provided Noelle Friedberg. B Y NOELLE FRIEDBERG OPINION EDITOR Everybody dreads that day of the week when they have a four hour gap in between their classes. You can choose to leave campus when you have a break in between classes, or you can save some gas and hang around. If you decide to stay on campus and wait it out on your break, here are some things you can do to fill the time: 1. Watch a movie in the library. Some students may not know this, but you can actually check out movies from the Kellogg Library at the media library on the firstfloor.They have a wide variety of new and old movies, as well as private study rooms with TVs, DVDs and VHS players for moviewatching. Or you can watch a DVD on one of the many computers in the first-floor computer lab. If you have Netflix, think about watching it on your laptop, or on one of the computers in the library during your break. 2. Grab lunch with a friend. This one may take some planning ahead. If you're stuck on campus with nothing to do, text a friend or plan to have lunch together. There are some yummy food options on campus in the new USU building. Or you can pack yourselves a lunch and enjoy a nice picnic on a grassy spot somewhere on campus. 3. Take a nap. Everybody knows the couches in the reading room on the top floor of the library are the perfect place for a nap, and if you don't, you're missing out. Or you canfinda nice shady spot under one of the trees somewhere on campus. You can even take a nap in your car. Naps are the perfect way to recharge in between classes 4. Do homework. While this isn't the most exciting option, it is a productive way to spend your break. Long breaks are an excellent time to catch up on homework or to get ahead on your studying 5. Get caffeine! Feeling sleepy? Go caffeinate at one of the three coffee places on campus. Looking for a new drink? Head over to the campus coffee cart in the founders plaza They have one of the sweetest chai tea lattes around Extended Learning offers exciting opportunities to students that they may not be aware, or take advantage of. Laura Segall, Marketing and Public Information Officer for CSUSM Extended Learning, discussed the opportunities Extended Learning (EL) has to offer for CSUSM students. Segall explained how the breadth of programs, courses and certificates are extensive and present a myriad of possibilities for students. Extended Learning is not just responsible for organizing Summer Session and Winter Intersession. This educational arm of CSUSM operates all the international programs for the university, such as Study Abroad. It also simultaneously takes steps to involve businesses in the region (e.g. ViaSat)—businesses and organizations which CSUSM students may one day enjoy working for. This fall, Extended Learning offers its usual programs in Science, Business and Legal Studies, to name a few, but also introduces a new program in water leadership, with another program in cyber security on the way. Programs for credit are not the only opportunities available for CSUSM students. There are several certificate programs offered as well. Tasting room management is one of several courses involved with the budding, or experienced, sommelier's growth in the wine industry. Wine is not the only thing under the Californian sun, EL also offers certificates in digital arts, education and paralegal work. "All of these programs help prepare people for jobs," Segall said. In addition to the programs and certificates offered, Segall explained how affordable Extended Learning programs are. "The cost of our programs truly reflects what they cost," Segall said. Extended Learning is the "self-support division" that benefits the community at not-for-profit rates. There is an added bonus according to this fall's Extended Learning Catalog: CSUSM Alumni Members may actually receive a 15 percent discount on "most non-credit programs." As students continue to graduate, there may be a remarkable growth of the extended learning program. "We started a Temecula campus in 2009 that is 100 percent extended learning," Segall said; "This fall, we've started a second Temecula campus at the Old City Hall building in Temecula, which is a partnership between Mount San Jacinto College, CSUSM Temecula and the City of Temecula." On top of the new buildings that will benefit incoming students, Segall informed that EL has grown by about 20 percent a year for the last three years. "Of the 23 CSU's, Extended learning at CSUSM, last year, ranked number 10 in terms of revenue generation," Segall said. Segall suggests for CSUSM students to look at the website at csusm.edu/el, review the catalog and discover what Extended Learning can offer. �Features Editor: Nada Sewidan cougarchron.features@gmail.com Aback X school ) list f or Campus Recreation E vents, e xcursions o ffered B Y N ADA SEWIDAN FEATURES EDITOR Zombie runs, ultimate frisbee tournaments, backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, karaoke nights at the USU- just a few of the many trips and events Campus Recreation has to offer.

"We want to get students to experience new things." Ortega recalls a memorable past experience with Campus Rec and how a new CSUSM foreign exchange student once joined them on a surfing excursion. The student did not know how to surf, and, on top of that, had never even seen an ocean before. Other students on the excursion partnered together, supplied her with surfboards and taught her how to swim. "They gave her the best experience," Ortega said. "That's the way Campus Rec works." Campus Rec offers a multitude of events and trips throughout the semester. Some of these trips include kayaking in La Jolla Cove, surfing, hiking San Marcos' own Double Peak Trail, climbing in Joshua Tree, paddle boarding on the Carlsbad Lagoon and paintballing in Camp Pendleton. In addition, archery lessons for students are available at a discounted rate. Students can also choose from intramural teams such as flag football, soccer, softball and dodgeball. Sports clubs associated with Campus Rec also provide cycling, dance, lacrosse and volleyball teams. The prices for events and trips range from free to $95. However, space is limited and usually caps out at about eight to 10 students for weekend trips such as Joshua Tree or Sierra Nevada, and around 15 to 20 students on day trips such as hiking or surfing.

Campus faculty member Starr-McLin creates and oversees programs aimed at promoting health and wellness, as well as student involvement here in Campus Recreation. Specifically, Starr-McLin is in charge of outreach and tiny tournaments. Starr-McLin's favorite part about CSUSM is the overwhelming sense of community felt on campus. Recreation Program Specialist, however, was not Starr-McLin's first position at CSUSM. She has worn many hats here at the university and has, in fact, been employed by our institution for over a decade. Starr-McLin is extremely delighted that her position does not require her to be "chained," so to speak, to her desk all day. She thoroughly enjoys interacting with her fellow staff-mates as well as the student body. "I like it (working with Campus Recreation) because it's different from day to day," Starr-McLin said. "I'm not stuck behind a computer all day, and I get to plan activities with the students." She currently attends Ashford University, an institution headquartered in downtown San Diego, and is earning her degree in Sports and Recreation Management with a minor in Business Management.

BY COLLIN V AZ ASSISTANT TO THE NEWS EDITOR The alarm rings sharply at 4am. The occasion does not call for work or school; therefore, the grogginess that generally overcomes one's senses at this hour is nowhere to be found. Pierre quietly grabs his duffle bag and ice chest and heads for the door. The predawn energy has an eerie though peaceful stillness. The passing of time has yet to take hold of the day. Upon arrival to his destination, Pierre opens the trunk and pauses to admire the sound of waves crashing nearby. After a calming breath, he begins preparing f or what he came to do. Slipping on his neoprene camo wetsuit, memories of his first dive surface in his mind, creating an undeniable sense of nostalgia. Eyeing his, favorite sandy cove, he slings the remaining gear over his shoulder and starts the short hike to the beach. Before stashing the rucksack behind a rock, he removes his most vital piece of equipment, his speargun. It is a handmade teak wood work of art, crafted by Daryl Wong- the state gun of Ha- waii. Once at the water's edge, Pierre steps into his three feet long carbon fiber fins and secures his dive mask and snorkel over his face. Running through a last mental checklist, he makes sure his knife is sheathed in his belt and wades out into the water before kicking out into the depths in search of yellowtail, dorado and the elusive white sea bass. Pierre, a CSUSM student, is not alone in his distinct adventures. Many San Diegans have taken to the "Spearo" lifestyle, reaping both the physical and men- tal benefits of this pastime. For spearfishing enthusiasts, the obvious dangers of such a hobby are outweighed by the blissful solitude that exists in the depths. However, diving to depths of forty plus feet on a single breath requires an immense amount of physical proficiency and emotional discipline. Although not a lifestyle suited for all personality types, Pierre describes his love for diving as an "escape from everyday life like no other." He heeds warning to anyone wishing to take up spearfishing and reminds novices that it is crucial to always dive with a buddy and stay within one's limits. It is recommended that beginners practice dive techniques in a safe coastal swimming area, during calm water conditions, with no spear gun, before attempting to venture out in search of game fish. For more information, clubs and forums, such as the San Diego Free Divers and the Spearboard, are some of the resources available. "From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulder. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."

I I heard a dad say, "People witnessed a perfect example I 'm friends with on Faceof the flaw in this tendency book always tell me I have the happiest son in the world. But they only think that because I don't post pictures of him when he's crying." It can also be extremely tempting to compare ourselves to our classmates. The guy who sits in front of you got a higher score on the test he didn't even study for, while you studied for hours and you failed it. Or that girl's parents pay for her education while you have to work two part-time jobs just to support yourself. But here's the thing, comparing ourselves to others doesn't "fix" any of the problems we face or see in our own lives. It only brings us down. Break out of the destructive cycle of constantly comparing by thinking instead of how you can work harder to do better next time, or by developing an attitude of gratitude. Instead of envying the lives and possessions of others, choose to be satisfied with your own circumstances. It is a much more rewarding way to live, if you ask me. You might be surprised by how much better you feel when you break out of the small but dangerous habit of comparing yourself to others. Can You Really Find Love Online?

BY JASMINE DEMERS ASSISTANT TO THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Never in a million years did I think that I would be married at 20 years old. I was supposed to just think that boys had cooties for the rest of my life. Yeah, right. Most of us know it doesn't work that way, and have an undeniable desire to love and to give into attraction. So yes, I fell in love and married my high- school sweetheart, and I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my life. I want to make a case for young love and young marriage. People should know that being young does not automatically assume a mere "puppy love" capability. A person's heart doés not simply become "mature" enough to love when you hit a certain age. It is a constant and ever-evolving inner emover-evolvine tion, and it is indestructible. When I married my husband, it was like I was suddenly sitting in an interrogation room, awaiting my own persecution. Everywhere I looked , I found judgment and misunderstanding. I could probably write a book about all of the young marriage stereotypes I've heard, so, let's start with the top three myths of young marriage: Number one: The only reason you could possibly get married that young is because you're pregnant. Nope, not in my case. Believe it or not, I got married simply because I am head over heels in love. I found an amazing friend and partner in crime that I want to share the rest of my life with. Number two: You must have had a courthouse wedding. Wrong again! I was married in a beautiful church surrounded by myfriendsand family. I hadflowers,a white gown and the whole shabang. Number three: You don't have family support. Just because YOU might not agree with young marriage, does not mean tha my family is hat unsupportive. They have stood by me through everything and I am very proud of the relationship that my parents have with my husband. Myths = busted. I think it's important for people to understand that it is okay to be in love. It is okay to give someone your everything, and to allow them to love you - back . I'm definitely not saying that you should get married after dating someone for a month, or after saying "I love you" for the first time; however, it is completely okay to make that decision when it is right for you and right for the person you love, whether that is at 20 years old or 60 years old. No one should ever tell you that it isn't okay to express feelings of love based on specific standards set by society. Young love is not wrong and you do not have to accept that ignorance. If you have the opportunity to share that with someone, then you have to hold onto it. Things in our lives are always coming and going, but true love will be constant and lasting. Reasons to wait to get married Why some young marriages can be unsuccessful the relationship is still fresh has its appeal, but there are For many students, and a few reasons to wait until people in general, the ques- the end of your time in coltion of when to get married lege.

I'm not saying you can't be in college while you're married, but it can make decisions like choosing the location of your desired university easier, especially if you or your partner plan on attending graduate school. Marrying later in life may lead you to be more financially independent as well, so that your future married life can be more stable. m . -mm A A ;a• ublic transportation saves money, reduces stress Sprinter Compass Pass Loads Photos provided by Erich Alle» and Matthew J, Kulhman. ssiMmmmmi sîââ * B Y E RICH A IXEH STAFF1 WEITER Paying out the wazoo for a parking permit?

It's a fantastic opportunity that Parking and Commuter Services provides for us students.

The train was never late ~ it remains my most reliable method of travel, unlike the unpredictability of sporadic freeway jams or traffic lights. Additionally, my daily trip from Escondido to Cal State has pro« vided me with vital studying time before crudal exams. More and more students are realizing the benefits of the publictransit option. When CSUSM ^and NCTD first began their sprinter deal in Spring of 2007, only 22 students applied. That number is now up to 430 per month.

Once I was in college, I realized that it wasn't as difficult as its reputation made it seem. I enjoyed the flexible schedule, and* that I wasn't stuck in a chair from 7:30 a.m.. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. In my mind, graduate work was still a whole different story. I knew that class numbers would change from 101 to 555, and that even'if I put my best effort in, there was still a chance of failure. I endeci up going for it anyway. I enrolled in the Middle-level Education Credential program through CSUSM so that I could eventually teach middle-school math. The program has a stellar reputation among educators, and I knew that it would be no easy feat. It consisted of veiy in-depth instruction on how to best teach children, providing me with two opportunities for which I could practice in the classroom setting at different local middle schools.

It is frequently purported that the theme of integral human relationships can be found in almost every genre of film from the outlandish science fiction to even the radical dark fantasy. After all, it is not too often that a film manages to capture the essence of such congruence with a lens of realism that transcends the complexities of such a familiar concept, making it as effortlessly simple, as the concept lends itself to be. French-Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee governs the notion of love and its timeless interrelation in his film Cafe de Flore (2011) with an artistic reverence simultaneously sensual and melancholic. The movie introduced two seemingly extraneous stories that are built in respective isolation. In present-day Montreal, Antoine Godin (Kevin Parent) lives comfortably, enthralled with life, for his happiness is obvious and exuding.'He has a ravishing girlfriend named Rose (Evelyne Brochu), iwo daughters, living parents and a successful career as an international DJ. In retrospect, his life is perfect. As he and Rose become further and further transfixed with one another, Antoine must weather the hurdles of his previous relationship without damaging the familiar thread tied to his ex-wife and children. Vallee also snapshots the life of a devoted single mother named Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis) to her son Laurent (Marin Gerrier) with Down's syndrome nearly four decades past in Paris, France.

The concept is at best artistically abstract and can be viewed alternatively as a justification for infidelity.

Being the young protégé to his teacher, The Giver (Jeff Bridges), guides Jonas through a journey in which he learns about the world he never knew existed- feeling the natural human responses of emotions represented through visions received from the Giver. The film takes the audience on a journey through Jonas' widening view of his surrounding world that leaves them pondering over life's purpose and whether they have done an adequate job at appreciating the world they live in. While Bridges resembles a kooky elder that failed to receive daily adequate sleep, his interaction with Thwaites is both charming and respected. Their trusted camaraderie creates an unbreakable bond that could rank with the likes of Anakin and Obi-Won or Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Following the typical young-adult plotline, Jonas is a young hero yearning to break free from his society's way of life, who Thwaites with his Hollywood looks and relatable demeanor proves he isn't just a newcomer, but a rising movie star.

If Noyce released the film prior to its fellow dystopian tales, it might've avoided the immediate comparisons and categorization of another cliché, dystopian teen film. What sets this film apart from the rest is its attempt to take a simple plot line and tackle complicated themes of conformity, identity, cama- raderie and death, all with ease. "The Giver" may seem like another film to add to the list of dystopian tales, but its uniqueness qualifies it as a front-runner amongst its counterparts. Aside from being an entertaining adaptation, it gives audience members something to consider when choosing how to live their lives. 4.5/5 PaWs Musician spotlight O ver soul's A lexa V illa C h e c k out t he l atest C ougar Shuffle online! vww.csusmchronicle.com By Z ach S chanzenbach W elcome b ack to school!

Every semester, one of CSUSM's graduating theater or VPA students gets the opportunity to showcase their work to the school with a capstone project. For theater students, this involves adapting a play to stage (or, if they're bold enough, writing their own) to perform in front of the school. This October, Alex Conteras will instead be adapting one of his favorite movies to the stage for three nights only. "I went with this story because I feel that it is more than a 80s movie" Contreras said. "The movie really is timeless, and it really resonates with high school students. Even now, almost 30 years after it came out, the movie is still relevant." It is not difficult to see the effectiveness of the transition from film to stage. Most of thefilmtakes place in a single classroom, with a principal cast of about six characters. "What lends Breakfast Club well to theater is that the story is set in a single lo- cation, which makes it ideal to stage great characters that everyone can relate to in some way," Contreras said. He even goes so far as to say the entire screenplay is left more or less unchanged in the transition. "I did not want to ruin what John Hughes, the author, wrote. All I wanted to do was tweak it in a few places to make it flow better as a play," Contreras said. He said that the only necessary changes are added dialogue, referencing important events that take place outside of the classroom setting in the film. "The set for our production will be more done with the idea that less is more.... The play is much more about the kids and their relationship to each other than it is about the library they are in," said Contreras. "Another change is that me and my director are trying to emphasize the fact that the play is timeless.... Will there be references to the 80s? Sure, but there may also be references to the 50s, the 90s and the early 2000s". Although his passion for the project shines through, Contreras had his share of difficulties in making his dream a reality.

"The moment the audience sees them onstage," Contreras said. "They'll know who each person is playing." Picking a favorite character was a slight challenge for Contreras, but not impossible. "A lot of the things Andrew does and says, I can relate to, but I'd have to say Brian," he said. "He's a smart, goal- oriented kid, but at the same time he has this charm to him. You want to like Brian because in everything he does, he's earnest about it."

The professor, while he's portrayed for the most part in 2D like the rest of the cast, does get a bit more depth to his character, and Kevin Sòrbo delivers the strongest performance in the movie. Perhaps the strongest moment in the movie comes at the climax. And while it's a much more subtle message, Josh's actions make a real impact on both his classmates and his professor, inspiring anyone who may feel as though they want to stand up for something important, yet feel alone. The message is subtle and clear: one person can make all the difference. So is God's Not Dead a worthwhile watch? If you're a Christian, it could be; I'm certain that any Christian will come away from watching this inspired. As for the non-believers, I believe that this movie's title is Truth: God's Not Dead. This movie, however, is another dull story.

Earlier this year, the publisher released a number of familiar titles such as SheHulk; X-Force and Amazing Spider-Man but with new twists and creative teams in the helm. In March, the Spirit of Vengeance returned to the shelves with a new vessel and a very sweet ride. Writer Felipe Smith teamed up with artist Tradd Moore and colorist Val Staples to create action-packed stories in All-New Ghost Rider. The first issue brings readers to East Los Angeles, home of 18-year-old Robbie Reyes. Reyes works at one of the local auto shops, making what he can to take care of himself and his wheelchair-bound brother, Gabe. After a street race goes wrong, he becomes the new Ghost Rider when his mysterious killers abandon his body. Now he roams the street with his 1969 black Dodge Charger as his choice of transportation. The combination of Moore and Staple's art with Smith's storytelling is perfect for the thrilling scenes in each issue. Tradd Moore has a lot of bold lines and motion in his illustrations, and Val Staples's coloring gives it the perfect touch of texturing. The duo is a pair of Marvel veterans having worked on previous publications in the company, but Felipe Smith, the newcomer, has a lot of experience under his belt.

Social justice at the forefront ASI community centers promote inclusion, integration B Y K ATUN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF When you give passionate leaders a place where they can share their thoughts and initiate their dreams into action, you spark a revolution. At CSUSM, students, faculty and staff have worked together to create a campus that is not only serving students in the classroom, but through various educational programs as well. The development of programs and spaces dedicated to the exploration and understanding of socialjustice has been at the forefront of the university's mission to build a diverse campus. One of the most successful routes towards educating students has been through the Social Justice Centers. Individually known as the Gender Equity Center, Pride Center and Cross Cultural Center, these three spaces have been pivotal in creating student leaders and promoting awareness of significant social issues. White Student Life & Leadership (SLL) oversees the Cross Cultural Center, the Gender Equity Center and Pride. Center are provided through Associated Students Inc. (ASI).

The more we give, the more students will follow their dreams," Aiello-Hauser said. One of the reasons that the Gender Equity and Pride Centers have teamed up is to refocus their images and encourage students from all backgrounds to explore what each group has to offer. The Pride Center is not geared only towards LGBTQA students and the Gender Equity Center is not solely for students that identify as feminists or seek to combat injustice. By changing their title to highlight 'community,'Aiello-Hauser hopes that it will make all students feel more comfortable to walk in, open up to their peers and faculty, ask questions, and learn about all sides and opinions of social justice. With a conjoining door that makes it easy for students to walk in between the two, the ASI Community Centers students that are interested in both centers can easily walk next door to explore both options. Aiello-Hauser expressed that each student that walks into the centers are at different phases of their journey, and that his job is to encourage them to explore and learn as much as they can. "Everyone's path may be different, and yours may not be the same as mine. We are just supporting and offering as many paths and opportunities to grow in understanding of social justice as possible," Aiello-Hauser said. The ASI Community Centers have also integrated in various other organizations to their projects, partnering up notably with the Greek Leadership Council and Student Health and Counseling Services. Their goal is t o create an environment that is not only inclusive of the students that spend time in the Community Centers but also to connect the campus as a whole so that CSUSM functions as one unit rather than a collection of groups separate from one another.

While they all share similar goals, each of the Social Justice Centers is its own entity, equipped with different student employees, identities and goals. In an effort to represent themselves as ASI organizations and highlight the changes to their structure the Gender Equity Center and Pride Center have rebranded themselves as the ASI Community Centers. The two groups, which previously operated under the leadership of two separate program directors, have refogused so that the they function more as a team rather than completely separate from one another. The Pride Center and Gender Equity Center are now under the leadership of Robert Aiello-Hauser, director of ASI Community Centers, and Kenyatta Parker, coordinator of ASI Community Centers. The goal in combining the two centers under one title is not to extinguish the separate identities of each center, but rather to encourage students from both groups to work together. The title ASI Community Centers will be used to refer simultaneously to both centers, but the Gender Equity and Pride Centers will still keep their individual names to highlight their differences in priori- Fans of the "Harry Potter" series can now take their experience a step further with the new course t hat. will be offered in the upcoming spring semester. Although much debate exists in the realm of academia on whether or not the series maintains substantial educational value, Professor Linda Pershing has decided to share with the university her professional opinion on the series. She will be teaching a class called Harry Potter Folklore and Culture (ID 370), which will immerse 120 students deeper in the magic of J.K. Rowling's books. Professor Pershing decided to create the course for a variety of reasons. "I found [the books] fascinating in many ways: as a scholar and instructor of folklore and culture, I love the books for their critical commentary on systems of social hierarchy," Pershing said. This course will bring to surface the various motifs and themes that are found in the beloved series. Students will learn of the mythology and folklore that J.K, Rowling has utilized, examine the culture of the magical world she has created and explore the various social issues that appear throughout the seven novels. "These include major life issues, such as the sanctity of life and coming to terms with death (particularly the death of loved ones), social hierarchies of power and privilege and the injustice of these, courage and stepping up to take action in the face of injustice and evil, the value of friendship, and the shortcomings of bureaucracies and social institutions," Pershing said. The H P. course will be educational, immersive and entertaining. Students will begin the journey with their own sorting ceremony. Each student will be assigned to one of the four houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Raveclaw) based on a personality exam. The students will then be transported to the world of "Harry Potter" with a House Prefect, commonly referred to as a teacher's assistant, to guide them through various activities and projects, making Harry's magical world their own. "We will read all seven novels and learn to analyze, discuss and apply the principle concepts that appear in each novel, making the connections between the magical realm of Harry Potter and our own world. We're planning lots of discussion, interaction, and participatory activities to make the course interesting and rewarding. Some of the topics we'll cover include how race, gender, social stratification, and economic class shape Harry Potter's world," Pershing said. Rest assured that with this class you would be getting a truly educational experience. Thorough background research has been done leading up to the course, both by Professor Pershing and her "Head Girls," Amanda Lenox and Lauren Hammond. This includes numerous academic articles and books that focus specifically on the topics that will be discussed in the class as well as research gathered by Pershing personally, directly from numerous locations in England and Scotland that are important to the "Harry Potter" books and films. Six CSUSM students that had helped with the original research have been awarded the opportunity to present their findings at the annual American Folklore Society Conference this October. This class will have much to offer students, whether they are a die-hard "Harry Potter" fan or someone who is just getting into the series and wants to explore the books more in depth. It will be both fun and educational to delve deeper into the cultural phenomenon that is "Harry Potter" and expand students' perceptions of the books in an exciting environment. A few students who are very familiar with the series can even get involved in assisting with the course outline by contacting Pershing atlpershing@csusm.edu �NEWS Building community on and off campus News Editor: cougarchron.news@gmail.com T HE C OUGAR C HRC KSDAY. S EPT r i , 2 0 1 3 K inesiology majors club provides f ood donations t o local aid organizations B Y KATLIN SWEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF When students take what they learn in the classroom and use it to better their community, the result is transformational education. Last year, CSUSM's Kinesiology Majors Club teamed up with Kinesiology Service Learning Students, Donate Don't Dump and North County Community Services Food Bank to change the North County aj;ea for the better. Over the span of 12 food distributions, the collaborative efforts of these groups resulted in the distribution of 36,000 pounds of food to students, staff and members of the community that needed it. The Kinesiology Major's Club embraced reduction of student hunger as one of their biggest goals after their adviser, Professor Laura de Ghetaldi, got in contact with Donate Don't Dump. De Ghetaldi learned about the organization at the San Diego Film Festival when she watched "One in Seven, the New Face of Hunger," a documentary by UCLA freshman Camille Posard. Inspiration ran in the family for Posard, spreading to Posard's younger sister, high school sophomore Gabrielle, to create Donate Don't Dump, which works with grocers and food companies to supply food to those in need rather than having it go to waste.. The Kinesiology Majors Club then teamed up with pastors Daniel and Theresa Jones of Summit Church to host the food distributions across from campus, a location that was not only convenient to students but all members of the community. . At each food distribution, anywhere from 10 to 20 students, some who are also interns with Donate Don't Dump, volunteer their time to supply attendees with approximately 20 pounds of free fruits and vegetables. In one hour, anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of food are passed out. But the true spirit of teamwork and community is also demonstrated through the fact that distributing this food comes at absolutely no cost to the Kinesiology Club. The only cost that is required for the process to run smoothly is a total of $50 for the trucks to bring the food, a fee which Summit Church and Donate Don't Dump split so that the distributions do not require the financial support of the Kinesiology Club. "We've gotten tremendous support from various individuals, and people like our Club President Amy Clark, Vice President Ross Edmunds, last year's Lead Intern Curtis Bovee and last year's President Junemy Pantig all worked so hard to make these distributions happen. And our partnerships with the North County Food Bank, Donate Don't Dump and all of the various groups involved have all just been great working relationships to help the community. It just shows how people can work together with that commonality of wanting to «help others," de Ghetaldi said. This past year, the Kinesiology Club enjoyed honors such as the Office of Community Service Learning Award for Student Group of the Year, two nominations and five received individual student leadership awards, a Tukwut Organization of the Year nomination, recognition as an official ASI Club on campus and a total of 14,850 hours of internship hours completed by 162 students. In collaboration with Donate Don't Dump, the Kinesiology Club also received President Obama's Volunteer Service Award. "I don't know who gets more out of this, the people who. need help or the ones giving the help. In a way, it's a selfish thing to give back because it makes you feel good too. I'm just so proud of the whole thing and my students that volunteer. Every time we do this, it just all comes together. We are building community and I hope that this can serve as a prototype for other schools in the CSU system," de Ghetaldi said. Food distributions take place at 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month (except on holidays and during finals week) at Summit Christian Church, located across from campus next to the dorms.

Based on figures released in late August from the Office of Communications, CSUSM is home to approximately 900 students that identify themselves as a veteran, service member or military dependent. Many of these student veterans remember the day vividly and wanted to share the ways in which Sept. 11 resonated with them. An "8th grader at the time, David Acosta remembers being sick from school that fateful day and watching the news at his home in Fallbrook. He was familiar with New York and witnessing something so disturbing made him question humanity. "Seeing people jump from the towers was crazy. I already wanted to join the military, but that really instilled the idea," Acosta said. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, Gregg. Snow was working as a contractor in Tokyo when one of his Japanese co-workers called him up, frantically trying to tell him what had happened. Snow thought that what he was seeing was a movie rather than real events. He then called another friend in Japan to tell him about what happened and they stayed up all night watch- Cal State San Marcos serves 900 active duty military, veterans and dependents.

Snow was supposed to fly back to the U.S. the next day, but instead had to go to the Embassy and was unable to fly home until a week later. He had been out of the military for a while at the time, but after the attack he contemplated re-enlisting. Nicholas Ashley was also out of the country on Sept. 11. He was living in Indonesia in the middle of a large Muslim population. He felt very uncomfortable due to the circumstances and began telling people he was Canadian to avoid talking about the attack.

CSUSM Special: Mention thi �Features Editor: Tatiana cougarchron.features@gmail.com Zavoénf C larke offers a n umber of fitness options for students B Y TATIANA ZAVODNY FEATURES EDITOR Whether students want to lose those freshmen 15 or are just looking for a way to stay healthy this semester, fitness classes may be the perfect way to achieve their goals. The Clarke recently posted their updated schedule for their unique and exciting fitness classes that will be available throughout the fall semester. With seven different options to choose from, students are sure to find a class thatfitstheir needs and their schedule. So how does the Campus Recreation Department select which classes make the cut? "We try to keep [the classes] that are most popular," Sonya Starr-Mclin, the Administrative Coordinator of Campus Recreation^ said. Among the list of most popular classes are Ashtanga Yoga and Indoor Cycling. These low-impact activities can help improve your strength and flexibility. Ashtanga Yoga is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays during U-hour, while Indoor Cycling is held on Mondays from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. as well as Friday during U-hour. For anyone interested in a high-intensity activity that will exercise your entire body, then Boot Camp may be the perfect opportunity. The Campus Recreation flyer explains that the course provides "a variety of intense group intervals^ over a one hour period of time." Another way to fight the boredom of going to the gym every day but still receiving a total body workout is through Total Fit. The class is promoted by Campus Recreation to "tone and tighten your entire body.. .leaving you with a complete feeling of satisfaction and balance." Boot Camp and Total Fit are offered on Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and Monday at 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., respectively. Another option to relieve Campus Filipino club welcomes new members B Y MARGERY URIL STAFF WRITER Students that are interested in learning about a new culture, playing games, meeting new people and having fun should join Kamalayan Alliance (KA). According to their website, KA spreads knowledge and awareness about Filipino and Filipino-American history and culture at CSUSM. Five students founded the club in the summer of2005. Now eight years later, the amount of members has almost tripled. The name Kamalayan, which in Tagalog means 'consciousness' and Alliance, which refers to a group of people striving to build a community, seeks to introduce Filipino culture to students from all backgrounds. The group also educates students on campus with events that introduce differenf aspects of the Filipino culture. One of the biggest events the group had last year was the "K A goes to CSU Fullerton," where schools throughout California partake in the biggest Filipino college event. One of the highlights of this event is the Friendship Games, which demonstrates Spirit, Pride, Unity and Friendship (SPUF). In the spring, there was the "Filipino Cultural Showcase" (PCS) where KA members performed a play about Filipino Culture. some stress and burn calories at the same time is Taekwondo. Offered from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, this fitness class welcomes beginners since no prior experience in the sport is required. If you're looking for a more light-hearted way to burn a few extra calories, then laughing along while taking Laughter Yoga or dancing to the beat of Latin music during Zumba may be just for you. Allfitnessclasses are meant to provide a non-intimidating environment, as most of them are often adaptable for allfitnesslevels. Also important to this environment are the instructors. "All of our instructors are great," Starr-Mclin said. "Most of our instructors are students here on campus." One of the best aspects of these seven unique fitness classes is that every single one is free for registered students and available for a small fee to faculty and staff. To participate, students simply need a free membership to TheClarke gym, since the fee to use it is already included in most matriculated students' university registration fees when they pay tuition. No other sign-up forms are required and students can attend the classes that suit their needs whenever they choose. Most classes do not begin until the week of Sept. 16 and locations for each class vary from The Clarke gym, the University Village Apartments (UVA) and the University Commons building depending on the activity. "If [students] haven't tried a fitness class, they should," Starr-Mclin said. The Campus Recreation Department also offers personal training and intramural sports at an extra cost.

Due of thè options that is being offered over the summer is traveling to Spain. Students like Neil French have benefitted tremendously from the program and highly recommend it. "If you're looking to learn another language this is the way to go. I learned more from one month in Spain than I did in six semesters in the United States," French said, * Neil, along Svith approximately 20 CSUSM students and many other students from around the world, had the. opportunity to study at the University of Valladolid. The courses they attended ranged from beginning to advanced Spanish, as well as Spanish culture and litr erature. Students spent four hours a day in classes, Monday through Friday, for four weeks, t hough the coursework was intense and the students learned much more than just what was taught in the classrooms. "The experience of going abroad was one that I honestly can't capture into words," Jordan Taylor said. "To be so outside the bubble I thought was my comfort zone and step into a whole new world was as if I had gone from black and white to color. I truly believe going to a new country is the best way to invest your time." Besides the classes, students also had the opportunity to take excursions to nearby cities. Since Valladolid is well situated just a couple of hours northwest of Madrid in the Castilla y Leon region, students were able to visit Madrid, Segovia and Salamanca. The professors from the university provided tours of the cities with much information about the history and culture, and students were also able to use their free time in the cities exploring castles, museums and cathedrals. Some students, like Karen Mascarinas, have transferred to other countries like the UK through Study Abroad, but reflect on Spain as a life-changing experience. "I grew so much as an individual while learning Spanish in Spain. I realized that I was a stronger person who was capable of things I would have never discovered before. It's not all about the fun stuff [...] it's about finding yourself and where you see yourself in this world," said Mascarinas. Students who are interested in studying Spanish in Spain in the summer of 2014 should stop by the Office of Global Education in Craven 3200 to speak with the study abroad advisor, Tiffany Gabbard.

Making a decision about gluten-free dieting H eart B eat B Y RACHEL GALLEGO STAFF WRITER You ' ve probably heard about the increasing number of people jumping o n the bandwagon of becoming gluten-free. You may also be noticing more gluten-free products in stores. What you are probably not hearing is that there are some important things to consider before eliminating foods with gluten from your diet. Many people state that they feel healthier after going gluten-free. Some individuals feel it may even be the answer to weight loss, clearer skin and more energy. Gluten is a protein complex that is most commonly found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale. It gives dough its elasticity and helps to keep its shape. The main reason someone would want to consume a gluten-free diet is to help treat the symptoms of celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation to the small intestine of those with the disease.

At the top of the peak, hikers, bikers and runners alike are Rewarded with a great view of surrounding cities, the ocean on a clear day and amazing sunsets. A good place to begin a trip up to Double Peak is from Discovery Lake. Parking, restrooms and water fountains are available but are only open from dawn to dusk. It would be wise to park on the street near the park on a late evening adventure. Water fountains and restrooms are also located at the top of Double Peak. The trails between the lake and the peak switch between dirt and pavement and are well maintained. In some places the incline can be quite a climb, while other parts are fairly level. The trek to the top is not easy, but people of many different abilities, and even dogs, can be seen enjoying the trail. It is also possible to park atop double peak and hike around from there if you're not ready to tackle the full climb. Taking a lap around Discovery Lake itself can be a pleasant trip. The whole path around the lake is paved and relatively flat. Fishing at Discovery Lake is also another option for enjoying a beautiful day in San Marcos. San Elijo Hills offers students an excellent opportunity to get out and exercise outdoors to relieve the rigors of constant study.

BY JUSTIN D ONNER SPORTS EDITOR With the beginning of the new semester many of us have outlined ambitious fitness goals and are sprinting full steam ahead to accomplish them. The old adage "quality over quantity" may be more important in this case than some think. American Fitness defines overtraining as being, "a state of burnout as a result of the combined negative emotional, behavioral and physical symptoms that occur as a result of persistent training without proper recovery." The amount of recovery time needed per person is going to vary, but the key is to listen to your body. A few common signs of overtraining are halted progress, decreased motivation and self-esteem, loss of concentration, insomnia, personality changes and even depression. Another thing to look for is prolonged muscle soreness. Being sore for a couple of days after a workout is expected, but prolonged soreness could be a sign that your body is not being given enough time to recover. It is essential to realize that days off are as important to personal growth as the days spent training. Some other ways to help prevent overtraining include fueling your body with nutritious meals before and after workouts, staying hydrated and getting a good amount of sleep each night. Personal trainers are a great option to help you develop both a fitness and recovery plan. The Clarke here on campus offers certified personal trainers. Working with these trainers comes at a small cost, but it is a great investment that will offer you both a personalized plan and a great learning experience. They also offer discounts for groups of friends wanting to getfittogether. Developing a proper plan for yourself with ample recovery time is a key component of staying motivated and ensuring that you reach yourfitnessgoals this semester.

I first heard of the memorial after being assigned by my sociology professor to locate its' whereabouts. As a freshman at the university, I started asking other students around me for assistance in hopes that they could point me in the right direction. I then came to the halting realization thatmost GSUSM students are not at all that familiar with their campus. Only one of the 15 students I came in contact with was able to give me the location of the memorial along with a vague description of its tribute. It was when I read the plaque that I gathered a clearer understanding of the monument's history. The White Rose refers a group of students in Nazi Germany that urged the Germans to passively resist the regime. They anonymously passed out six different leaflets that urged active opposition on the part of the Germans, using covert means of distribution such as leaving the pamphlets in phone booths or having female students travel by train to bring the pamphlets to other areas. On Feb. 18, 1943, two of the White Rose members personally distributed pamphlets by scattering them across their campus for students to pick up. They were caught and turned in to the Nazi party. Soon afterward, the rest of the White Rose members were caught and put on trial. Six of the members were executed by guillotine and the remaining were imprisoned for treason. The White Rose Memorial is decorated with tall, white roses alongside a small well of water and stands just north of the Arts building on the San Marcos campus. % since 2003 and acknowledges the efforts of the White Rose members, the only resistance group to denounce the horrors of the Holocaust, and allows for the group to be remembered by today's students. Even more so, it shows us all here at CSUSM that as students, we can make a great and influential impact on the world. Our voices can be heard. There also lies a ladle inside of the well that gives people the opportunity to give water to the roses. I ask my fellow students to take a moment in passing and feed this symbol of strength and determination. The lack of interest in the memorial is a truly sad oversight and I hope that urging awareness will allow for more students to share in the incredibility of White Rose. To find out more about the White Rose and their actions go to my source for much of this information, holocaustresearchproject.org. B Y LETTY PUENTES STAFF WRITER B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER STAFF WRITER CSUSM parking permit fees nearly cost more than the SDSU and UCLA campuses combined. Most students will agree that paying $338 a semester for general parking is excessive. This high cost leads many students to try other methods, like going out of their way to take the bus, walking, biking, taking the sprinter and carpooling. Even carpooling costs students a large sum of money when considering the financial struggle of also affording tuition and textbooks. Not t o' mention, there are those that live too far to even have a chance, to consider alternatives. Most students would agree that the parking prices are hard on their budget, but not many students know who decides these prices or what the money goes toward. CSUSM prices are extremely high in comparison to other universities. Two relatively local examples are San Diego State University and University of California, Los Angeles. SDSU has a fee of $135 dollars per semester and UCLA charges $213. If they were to inquire at the police station, students will find out that the ini- COUGAR CHRONICLE STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Katlin S weeney DESIGN EDITOR A nne H all N EWS EDITOR A &E EDITOR Faith O rcino C OPY ÉDITOR D ISTRIBUTION MANAGER R aychel A llen S PORTS EDITOR S ALES R EP Justin D onner P am K ragen C ARTOONISTS fauth O rcino T atiana Z avodny OPINION EDITOR L auren H ammond A nne H all / B lanca S a r a b i a S TAFF L auren H ammond S a r a h H ughes F EATURES EDITOR P HOTOGRAPHERS ACADEMIC ADVISOR Pam Kragen tial price for parking was created prior to the 2000 school year. The price was set once a three-tier increase in cost was implemented by those high up in the university, resulting in a sum of $293. Current campus pricing is justified based on thé fact that the school is self-paid. The university does not get any government funding and students are therefore forced to pay for themselves. As of now, however, students do not have to worry about price increases. The last price implication was the last in the tier, meaning that hopefully we won't have another increase for quite some time. While fees go toward the upkeep of the parking lots, many students have difficulty paying the current amount. Although parking permits will always remain a strain on student's wallets, they can at least find comfort in knowing that the money is helping maintain a beautiful and safe campus.

These misconceptions are hurtful to everyone, not only at the person that they are aimed at. Instances like this can be avoided if the knowledge of social justice was more readily shared on campus. Everyone at CSUSM should have social justice training, including all students, professors and faculty. I trust that if every person on campus were to attend social justice training, the university itself would become a true safe zone. CSUSM needs to acknowledge that nobody has the right to diminish the sexuality of another. I became aware of social justice in my sophomore year of college. Prior to that, I had never heard of the term and was initially unsure if I understood the concept. I began to gather a clearer perspective when I heard stories from my peers about ways in which they had been hurt emotionally by comments made from others at CSUSM. Scarring remarks had come from peers, professors and administration on campus. I had experienced such ignorance when a professor on campus had stated that bisexuality did not exist. This professor went on to explain that bisexuality Photograph courtesy of the Office of Communications. was a mere stepping-stone University parking prices high compared to others , A RE PARKING PRICES MUCH T OO EXPENSIVE?

It wasn't until later that I realized that nobody has the right to question or diminish a person's sexuality. That day in class, this professor had taught indifference to the students present. After dismissal, the students left the classroom and went into the real world with what they had learned, most likely spreading the pain that Office Phone: 760 - 750 - 6099 M- Office Fax- 780 - 750 - 3345 O ur office is located in Craven 3500 positioned throughout the C SUSM campus.

On Oct. 3, The Clarke Field House will host Puerto Rican Senator Sila González-Calderón as she leads a discussion on women and leadership. Discussion will fociis on how women's decisions and ways of communicating help them secure positions of leadership. González-Calderón plans to discuss how even though the Women's Liberation Movement took place in the '60s and '70s, women are still dealing with the same problem their mothers and grandmothers did, with some variations. The Women's Liberation Movement refers to Second Wave Feminism, a time in which the media helped to bring ideas of feminism to public consciousness. Though feminist beliefs varied between different groups, most of their goals were fundamentally the same - to achieve social and moral equality among the sexes. The Arts and Lectures series provides an opportunity for students to enrich their learning experience through cultural, scholastic and artistic events. In bringing diverse groups of people together for a common interest, the Arts and Lectures series hopes to encourage discussion and debate on current issues. Due to seating problems in the past, tickets are now required in order to attend all events. This event is free to all students who attend CSUSM. Tickets will also be open to staff and the general public for a small fee. To buy tickets go to https://www.csusnL edu/al/index.html. They are limited and will not be sold at the door. The Clarke Field House is located across the street from the University Village Apartments, on the comer of Campus Way and Campus View Drive.

The company's first comic book, "Telikos Protocol," was created by Jay Douglas and has been gaining rapid attention and fan base. Kickstarter.com described the comic book as "an explosive science fiction action-adventure comic." Creators Nav Gupta and Jay Douglas worked hard to make "Telikos Protocol" a huge success. They broke records with their quick popularity and have already begun their new project called "Cycops," which was introduced this summer. Peter Cooper and Adam Burn are artists at deviantART. The two men met Vanquish Interactive writers and clicked so well that they decided to join forces to publish internship opportunity for students these works, The comics are available in print and digital. The interactive print version teamed up with children's charities and sponsors throughout their launches. The kick-start campaign broke 50,000 in just 30 days . and as hoped, they were featured in Comic-Con in 2012 and 2013. At both events, they were greeted by dedicated fans dressed in costumes inspired by the comic. These artists are fast paced workers with strong initiative.

Writer Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse return to continue the tale of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, an extraterrestrial alien who tries to keep a low profile in the United States countryside. As he waits for contact from his home planet, Vanderspeigle cares for those needing treatment and assists in police investigations. This new story arc starts where readers left him, resting on a hospital bed. While Vanderspeigle recovers from the past adventure, another brews. The new storyline involves a unique set of characters, once again taking place in the little town of Patience. Both Hogan and Parkerhouse are British veterans in the comic industry. The two worked with the critically acclaimed creator Alan Moore in separate projects (America's Best Comics and the Bojefferies series, respectively). Now the duo combines their talents to create this sci-fi comic. Hogan's writing is a style that reminds readers of classic murder mystery novels and has a steady flow, even with the many twists. Parkerhouse's illustrations have interesting color palettes and he puts a lot of detail in the characters. For new readers, it would be best to start with the first collection, "Resident Alien Volume 1 : Welcome to Earth". The next step would be getting the zero issue before picking up this new book.

Pitchfork reported on the band's hinted hiatus in early 2009 which became true after their'tour with Jane's Addiction. This album contains 14 tracks, including the singles "Came Back Haunted," "Copy of A" and "Everything." The iTunes version has a special interview with Reznor while the deluxe version contains three remix tracks. For those that purchase through NIN.com, the band's official website, buyers i ave the option to receive the "audiophile" mastered version, a different mastering of the same album. On the website, mixer Alan Moulder said, "The Audiophile Mastered Version is more true to how the mixes sounded to us in the studio when we were working on the songs." According to Tom Baker, their mastering engineer, the standard master has a "loud" and edgier sound compared to the audiophile one. Check out Nine Inch Nails online for more on them and this new album. "Now You See Me" something thatfreshmanand seniors can relate to without feeling any sort of regret in the process. "Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins: , Instead of feeling hopeful, this upbeat song gives a sense of coming together.

C SUSM celebrates n ew v eterans' h ome base New Veterans Center bridges military and academic community Karen Haynes joins other dignitaries and staff in a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the new Veteran's Center. The new center aims to focus on offering support for the entire community in every aspect of military and campus life. Photo by Matthew J. Kuhlman By Matthew J. Kuhlman Photo Editor Veterans, CSUSM dignitaries, and students gathered at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Our Next Issue October 8,2014 Email us at: : susm.cougarchronicle@gmail.com Veteran's Center Tuesday, September 2 3, 2014. After formal introductions, ceremony leaders welcomed everyone in attendance to join in celebrating the well-deserved veteran's facility that has culminated from years of planning and hard work. "A great deal of hard work, dedication and collaborative planning have gone into building this new Veteran's Center," said Claudia Oreegal, a Senior MIS major who has been working with campus veterans for over eight years. "This new center is so thoughtfully designed to support not only veterans, but their families, and in turn, the entire CSUSM student body as well." The new center will strive to focus on any and every subject and concern veterans, active duty and military families could ever need assistance or guidance with. Although the Veteran's Center Staff has been working on campus supporting members for many years, the entire CSUSM community is looking forward to the positive impact the new facility will have on the lives everyone involved. "Involvement" is a key word when recognizing both the purpose of the new center as well as the combined efforts to bring the facility to fruition. S o many pillars of the community jumped at the chance to contribute to the new center from design to construction. According to Margaret Chantung, CSUSM's Public Information Officer, the new 1,000-square-foot energyefficient building was donated and designed via the Stevens Institute of Technology students who undertook the entire project for the U.S. Department of En- ergy's 2013 Solar Decathlon. Involvement is a notion adopted by the Veteran Center Staff as well. More than a couple of the student veteran speakers made certain to let the entire crowd know that they credit the Veteran's Center Staff's immediate involvement and taking ownership of their concerns as the reason for their success as CSUSM students. "As a military dependent, one of r- thefirstthings that impressed about the Veteran's Center Staff is that my questions and concerns were no less or more important than anyone else's," said Chis Morales, a second year criminology major. "It seemed like they automatically got involved, knew what stage in my efforts I was at, and stayed involved until I got all o f the resolution I needed so I could focus completely on my studies." CSUSM student veteran and Senior MIS Major Claudia Oreegal attentively listens to questions and concerns of fellow student veterans at the front desk of the new Veteran's Center. The new center is the culmination of many hours of work on behalf of many people and organizations focusing on providing support for the entire community. Photo by Matthew J. Kuhlman �First installment airs in Conversations That Matter Opportunity for students to engage in educational discussion By Ryan Downs News Editor Over the course of the coming year, the Office of Diversity, Educational Equity and Inclusion will be hosting a series pf guest lectures on the subject of diversity and inclusiveness on campus. However, what makes these particular events different from others hosted by the campus in the past is the more open forum they provide for students to communicate with both the lecturer and each other about racial, gender and religious diversity on campus. The first in the series will debut Sept. 29, where Dr. G. Cristina Mora, an A ssociate Professor of Sociology from UC Berkeley, will be discussing a topic about the etymology of LatinAmericans, and where the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" come from. This is also meant to lead into a wider discussion on how individuals from multiple nations, such as Puerto Rico, Mexico and Cuba, are consistently put under one or two generalized names. Dr. Mora is also the author of a book on the subject, titled Making Hispanics: How Activists, Bureaucrats and Media Constructed a New America. "I'm actually very excited about the series because I think it's going to be a great opportunity for our campus community to get together and talk about these issues, whether it's about gender, sexual orientation, religion or nationality," VP of the Office of Diversity, Arturo Ocampo, said. Ocampo has played a part in bringing the series to campus. However, although his office will help provide funding to the series, he has mentioned that, for the most part, he wishes to not become too authoritative. Instead he wants to allow the people involved to take a sense of autonomy, so, ultimately, the series can better reflect the attitudes of students on campus . Dr. Mora's presentation will take place from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 29 in the U SU ballroom. For more information about the Conversations that Matter series, students may contact Arturo Ocampo at the Office of Diversity at aocampo@csusm.edu. "Yes Means Yes" reorganizes the sexual consent agenda By Jasmine Demers Community News Editor Lawmakers of the California State Senate have recently passed a bill that will change the definition of sexual consent on college campuses and will require a shift in policy regarding student safety. S B-967, also know as the "Yes Means Yes" Bill, was proposed by State Sen. Kevin de Leon on Aug. 2 8, 2014. If approved by Governor Jerry Brown, the previous representative slogan, "No Means No", will be replaced by an alternative approach, which emphasizes consent as an "affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." Under SB-967, California campuses will not be able to receive state funds for financial aid unless they "adopt certain sexual assault policies and protocols." These policies include a partnership with on and o ff campus resources that will serve as assistance to survivors of sexual assault and the implementation of outreach programs that advocate for these issues. Karen GuzmXn, a student and advocate against sexual violence at CSUSM, explains that these requirements are necessary in order to provide adequate survivor support. "This bill makes it a requirement to have established relationships with survivors, to have advocates for survivors and to have a campaign against sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking/' GuzmXn said. "This gives us visibility and presence as students who have been affected by these issues." The California State University system, including CSUSM, already has a detailed memorandum that was revised and republished on June 3 , 2014. It highlights many of the points that are listed in SB-967 and incorporates a comprehensive investigative plan for sexual assault cases. This system wide memorandum is in accordance with Title IX, a federal law that requires educational institutions to prohibit sex and gender discrimination,inclu<3yingsexual harassment and violence. The proposal of SB-967 is reportedly in response to several Title DC violations amongst higher education institutions. The U .S. Dept. of Education, on May 1 of this year, released a list of 5 5 college campuses who are under a federal investigation for violating policies of sexual assault. On a positive note, CSUSM is not a violator of the law and is not included in this list. Bridget Blanshan, the Title IX coordinator at CSUSM, explains that the proposal is not very different than the policies that the University currently upholds. "There is not a great deal of difference between how our policy defines consent. It kind of takes laws that axe already in existence and af- firms them " Blanshan said. She explains that this bill, along with the already implemented policy, is important because of its goal to protect students and to create outreach for these issues. "We are trying to expand our outreach and education so that people understand what healthy sexual behavior is," Blanshan said. "We want to talk about the importance of approaching sexual encounters in a way that it's cool to communicate about it. It's important to get consent, it's important to not feel funny about asking, and it's important to intervene when you s ee something going wrong." "Yes Means Yes," according to Blanshan, is a new phrase that can be used to advocate against sexual assault and to provide crucial support for survivors. SB-967 is unanimously supported by California State Universities and its fate will be determined by Governor Jerry Brown by the end of September. 'Documented'filmhumanizes the battle for rights By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief The debate over whether or not undocumented in- dividuals should receive citizenship has sparked the creation of a documentary following one man's journey. In "Documented," filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, recounts his experience growing up in America while hiding his identity as an undocumented individual. The movie will be screened at CSUSM, giving students, faculty and staff an inside look into how labels like "illegal alien" can negatively define and shape people's lives. After the film has been viewed, those in attendance will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion with a four-person panel. The speakers seated at this panel will include Dr. Vincent Pham from the CSUSM Communication Dept., Dr. Gail Perez from the U SD Ethnic Studies Dept., Joseph Allen Ruanto-Ramirez from the UCSD Cross-Cultural Center and Thiana Ruiz from various CSUSM student orgs. Thiana Ruiz shared that being a part of the panel gives her the hope of beginning more conversations among undocumented individuals about becoming comfortable with their identity as an undocumented. "I believe that I have commonalities with the film characters, " Ruiz said. "I think that being an undocumented student on campus is often difficult and there is the fear that you will be judged. We live in a country where you are pointed at, there are issues and government policies that don't allow you to do certain things. But these are just obstacles that we have to overcome." According to Dr. Matthew Atherton, an Associate Professor in the Sociology Dept., the film screening is sponsored by the CHABSS Global Commitment Initiative and the Engaging Diverse Dialogues Initiative. "Documented" is the first of three films that will be shown on Global Migration at CSUSM. "Documented" will be screened from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 2 4 in the U SU Ballroom, followed by the panel discussion from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. History presented through film Honoring local tribe with documentary screening By Katlin Sweeney eignty Center (CICSC), Dr. tribal groups, the Kumeyaay.

Come quick see What you've been missing out on from cross country By Burtland Dixon Staff Writer Cross-country is a sport where the athlete is purely fueled by determination and motivation. If competitors show up on the day of competition without those two traits, they might as well have stayed home. Teammates want competitors to succeed, fans want competitors to win, and with that sense of community on your side, excitement is bound to erupt at any moment. The truth i s, the sport of cross-country doesn't seem to be as striking as other sports at CSUSM. Dozens of runners line up before the sound of the gun and then proceed to run an extensive amount of miles. This is not as much of a team sport as soccer and basketball, or even a sport that you can keep track of the entire time. However, none of these miniscule details should keep anyone from giving the cross-country team the recognition they so highly deserve. The exceptional mental capacity and physical prowess a great runner requires is almost unparalleled. That is exactly what the cross country team at CSUSM is made o f, great runners. It's not often that a Silver Medalist World Champion and Gold Medalist Olympic Champion gets to help an SPORTS EVENT CALENDAR WOMEN'S SOCCER 9 /28/2014: S unday, O pponent: E mbry-Riddle ( AZ),at: C SUSM,TI«ne: 1 :00 P M 10/4/2014: S aturday, O pponent: M ills C o l i n e , a t: O akland, T ime: 1 2:00 P M 10/5/2014: S unday, O pponent: U C S anta C rux, a t: S anta C rux, T ime: 11:00 A M Cross Country coach Steve Scott, former Olympian and member of the USA MEN'SSOCCER Track & Field Hall of Fame.

Luckily for CSUSM, Steve Scott, who just so happens to bear the aforementioned accolades, is in fact the head coach of the men's and women's cross country team. With having ran the most sub-four minute miles in history, it is not absurd to believe Coach Scott can turn a golfer into a highly competitive runner. This only makes the idea of rooting and being proud of the sport that much more exciting. "It's exciting especially if you have a good team, you know to be out there and you can run around," Coach Scott said. "It's almost like being on the sideline of a soccer game coaching the team" All the cross-country team seems to do is harvest the fruits of their labor. With the men's and women's team being ranked in the top 10 in the NALA and bringing home banners year af- ter year, cross-country has earned at least an inch of respect from even the biggest pessimist. Practicing strides of up to 80 miles per week appears to be a stepping stone of which they leap off to redeem their success. Not all sports teams have the same flexibility as the cross-country team. During a competition, a viewer can actually run with the person while cheering them on, giving them the proper motivation they need as they run their hearts out. Now knowing all of the information about the hard work put in, high-caliber coaching and one's ability to be seamlessly integrated in the races, what is preventing the cross-country team from being more notably recognized? The answer to that would be nothing at all. Remember becoming a bandwagon fan for your own school is completely fine.

Photo by Brianna Galloway By Mackenzie Clark Assistant to Sports Editor The Freshman 15 may have already affected many students on the CSUSM campus, but this doesn't have to happen to you. Needless to say, many students gain 15 pounds their freshman year of college. However, there are many tricks to avoid the Freshman 15. Luckily the Quad and UVA both have kitchens, which makes it much easier to eat healthier. Brianna Galloway, third year at CSUSM majoring in business, said she successfully beat the Freshman 15, suggesting many strategies to avoid it. "I found the time around classes and homework to make it to the gym as much as possible. Sometimes it was only two days, others it was six," Galloway said. "I utilized our Clark gym throughout my freshman year." Working out is a key component to avoiding the Freshman 15, but eating healthy is just as important. Galloway said some of her favorite things to eat were smoothies, broccoli and fish. Not only is it critical for you to eat healthy but it is also essential to take good care of your body. "I definitely try to stay away from alcohol," Galloway said. "I know that we are in college, and w e like to party, but alcohol every weekend could add on more pounds than you think if you don't live an active lifestyle." Taking care of yourself and being aware of what you put into your body will help you stay in the best shape. Kiana Highsmith, first year at CSUSM and currently living at the Quad, usually cooks her own meals in the kitchen provided in the dorms to try and stay away from frozen and artificial foods. She also uses the gym in the Quad and takes the stairs on campus instead of the elevators. "I g o to the gym when I have free time but simply taking the stairs on campus can play a huge role in staying fit," Highsmith said. The legendary Freshman 15 doesn't have to affect you. All you need to do is stay healthy and active. Even walking around on campus all day can be a workout if you choose to take the stairs. Mm «K§ lit k icking # f ?

Wide awake drunk: The dangers of mixing energy drinks and alcohol By Alexis Saucedo Sports Columnist What if there was an alcoholic beverage that masked the effects of alcohol, further complicating the thought process? There is such a drink and many are not even aware of it. This beverage is a mixed drink, containing both alcohol and caffeine. The younger generation is well aware of the risks associated with drinking alcohol. Whether it is a f ew beers with friends at happy hour or a weekend bender, alcohol can impair judgment, which may lead to poor decision-making. According to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, in addition to impaired judgment, the stimulants in energy drinks can mask the depressant effects of the alcohol. The caffeine reduces the feeling of drunkenness, which results in the inability to sense the true level of intoxication. This inability can lead individuals to drink even more and engage in risky behavior. The Washington State Liquor Board also says the combination of a depressant and a stimulant can have a negative effect on the heart and cause rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath and even heart attack. In an article by the Student Health Department at California State University Chico, those consuming such beverages have a higher chance of becoming dehydrated, since both alcohol and energy drinks are diuretics. Depending on the indi- vidual, higher levels of dehydration while drinking can also produce a more severe hangover. B loombergnews. com states that California joined the other six states that banned selling alcoholic beverages containing caffeine in 2011. This occurred shortly after nine Washington college students were hospitalized due to the consumption of such bev- erages. However, this ban does not prevent local bars Heart Beat Bloombergnews.com states that California joined the other six states that banned selling alcoholic beverages containing caffeine in 2011. and restaurants from serving these mixed beverages.

Kamalayan Alliance advocates creating a diverse community at CSUSM. The organization's main focus is awareness and community, aiming to represent the Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community of California State University San Marcos and to provide a diverse environment for CSUSM students. CSUSM student Andrea Aduna, student affairs coordinator, and Huy To, the mediator between Kamalayan Alliance on campus and the other AAPI communities, are among some of the faces behind the organization. Kamalayan Alliance was developed because racial slurs began circulating about the AAPI community. The organization came together to fight against this maltreatment against students and, out of their fight, blossomed a family of purpose and values. The organization started in 2 005 with five founding fathers who wanted to continue to have a place for people to come together and have a v oice. Kamalayan Alliance tries to rep- resent the community as much as possible, while making it fun and exciting for people to join, come together and have a good time. Some of Kamalyan Alliance's goals are to continue to get students to join the community, but to also build collaboration through other organizations in order to join forces and share resources, thus creating a school that is more diverse. zation is excited about announcing. One particular event is the Friendship Gathering at Cal State Fullerton in honor of Philippine culture month. Over 4 0 organizations all over the Southwest will be there this semester. Another scheduled event will be held in the spring in celebration of the organization's 10 year anniversary. One thing the Kamalayan Alliance Aside from students to understand is that the school is fruitful and that students should be proud of it. It is especially important for students to become active in the CSUSM community. Kamalayan Alliance also encourages anyone to join, even if they're not part of the AAPI community. Kamalayan Alliance meets twice a month during U-hour on Thursdays in the ballroom; their next meeting will be held on Oct. 4 .

CSUSM Adjunct Professor Robert Mustard of Biological Sciences expressed his love for biology and the joy he receives from being a professor of biology. Professor Robert Mustard was born and raised in Madison Heights, Michigan, where he graduated from Lamphere High school. From there, Mustard continued on to a number of different colleges and universities without a specific career path in mind. He obtained his AAS degree in Computer Science at Oakland Community College, where he held a career in Information Technologies for 20 years. Professor Mustard went on to get his second degree in Environmental Studies at DePaul University in Chicago. Professor Mustard also previously attended CSUSM and received a masters in biology. "I was burned out from my previous position and I decided I wanted to g o back to my first love, Biology," Professor Mustard said. "Two days after I graduated from DePaul, I got on a plane and came out to Escondido, and I wanted to go back to school and formalize my studies in Ecology, and so I finished my Masters here at Cal State San Marcos in 2008." During his undergraduate studies, Professor Mustard worked as a research assistant for three years under Dr. George Vourlitis. Mustard encourages students to get involved in any form of student mentor relationship as he credits Dr. Vourlitis with much of his professional growth during this time in his life. "Talk to your professors, you have a lot of subject matter experts here on campus, and they are always looking for enthusiastic intelligent students, or they may know Second year student Chelsea Gonzalez catches up with one of her very first biology professors.

Professor Mustard's devotion in combining the classroom and the great outdoors to enrich a person's life comes through in what he offers to the classroom. Through his involvement with the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and The Daily Ranch in Escondido, he has both learned from others and shared his knowledge and love of science and nature. He explained his love for both biology and ecology including his appreciation of natural spaces and his dedication to the subject. There is not a lot of delineation between my personal life and my work life," Mustard said. "I don't mind if work overflows into my personal life and my personal life overflows into work." When it comes to wanting to purely enjoy the environment, Professor Mustard takes time to appreciate nature. For Professor Mustard, one of his favorite hobbies is scuba diving. Mustard continues to encourage students in all fields to pursue a career that they are passionate about. "Find something you love, find something you have a passion for and do it well," Professor Mustard said. "If you don't like what you are doing, get out of it; life is too short to be unhappy."

Creative writing professor, Mark Wallace, is one among many CSUSM faculty members who has published several books. As a versatile writer, Wallace doesn't stick to only one form of writing. Over the years, he has written on an assortment of topics from experimental poetry to straight forward prose. "I don't do the same stuff with genre every single time," Professor Wallace said. "Each one of these books is very different." Over the years, Professor Wallace has published 10 books, and he is currently working on another novel, more specifically, a Science Fiction piece called Crab set to be re- whether "I've been interested in being a writer almost my whole life," Professor Wallace said. "My parents read to me and I read books early and I started writing my own poems and stories when I was in third grade." After college and before teaching writing at CSUSM, Professor Wallace had several jobs, most distinctly as a freelance journalist and professional editor for a number of years. Despite holding down full time gigs that demanded his attention, Wallace snagged moments for his personal writing projects whenever possible—notably, one of his collections of poetry was completely written during bus rides to and from work. Some of his published novels include Complications from Standing in a Circle, Dead Carnival, Felonies of Illusion, Haze: Essays, Poems, Prose, 5 Nothing Happened and Besides I Wasn't There, Sonnets of a PennyA-Liner, Temporary Worker Rides a Subway, The B ig Lie, The Quarry and the Lot and Walking Dreams. " You've got to get involved and, in fact, that makes it no different than anything else," Professor Wallace said. "If you want to succeed in something you've got to figure out what's going on in that area of life and be a part of it." "I've been interested in being a writer almost my whole life/ that be a community of poets or an online community of writers and readers," Professor Wallace said. His love for writing lead him to attain a BA in English with a minor in Statistics from the George Washington University, an MA in Creative Writing from SUNYBinghamton and finally a second MA and Ph.D. in English at SUNY-Buffalo.

Caballero recalls his first performance as a child when he would stand on the kitchen table, Beatles track playing in the background, singing along to the lyrics "Shake It Up Baby." He is a self taught singer/ songwriter who previously released an album and is currently working on producing a second. Caballero's music is inspired by memories of real people who greatly impacted his life. "Anything that deals with struggle and pain inspires songwriting," Caballero said. "I like writing about the human condition, fall of man, heavy details, all kinds of relationships and religion." In further discussing his future goals with music, Caballero explained that when it comes to his music, he doesn't like to get ahead of himself. He prefers to take it one step at a time. When constructing music, he also believes in taking time to create and write a song. Future plans for Caballero's music include recording his songs live and producing CULINARY CORNER F luffy w hite f rosting By Chelsey Schweitzer Senior Staff Writer Gian Caballero entertains the crowd at a local coffee shop in downtown Escondido.

His next step will include promoting his music and gaining support by playing local shows. "My big dream for my music is to hopefully tour the West Coast," Caballero said. When asked who influenced his pursuit for music, Caballero quickly spoke about his family. "My mom taught me the first four guitar chords but after that I became self taught," Caballero said. "But it was my dad who taught me how to be a fan of music." When performing a song on stage, he expressed how a song always transports him back to how it felt when he first wrote it. "Normally I like to close myself off and close my eyes," Caballero said. "All I hear is my guitar and vocals." Caballero produced an EP in 2 012 called A Hint of Feeling. Some of the songs off the album include Feathers Float, Dirty Girls and Sheep. He is currently working on recording a new album for the upcoming year which will include his new song, My Mind is North. Some of the places he has performed include Normal Height, "The SatsV, Coffee House, 5th Avenue in Gaslamp, Kettle Coffee and Tea in Escondido and Hill Street Cafe in Oceanside. Caballero's musical influenees included The Beatles, Simon & Garfünkel, Elliott Smith and Damien Rice, among others. Caballero advises other student artists interested in pursuing music to just get out there. "Do it for the love of it," Caballero said. "Write a lot because the more you write the easier it is to figure out what about you works." Caballero will be performing some of his new songs off his upcoming album on Friday, Sept. 26 at Kettle Coffee and Tea in Escondido.

Coming from a culture that allows language learners a very small margin of error and does not tolerate those who surpass that margin, I initially felt an unrealistic need to speak Spanish perfectly. It wasn't until I was having dinner one day with the pastor's family when I finally let g o of that need. Seated across from the pastor's son, a student at the Techni- cal University of Tijuana, I began conversing with him in English. I did so, not because I desired to be comfortable myself, but because I thought it would annoy him less to listen to my English than it would for him to decipher the meaning behind my butchered Spanish. He soon asked if we could switch languages. I was shocked that someone would suffer the nuisance of my insufficiency. I was stunned to discover that these insufficien- cies, though undoubtedly existent, were not enough for him to consider me a nuisance at all— the conversation lasted for 4 5 minutes. It is amazing to witness mutual love and care for one another disarm personal fears and foster a greater resolve to continue the cycle of love. I'd encourage anyone to seek out ways of serving others. You can be used for great things and you don't have to cross the border to accomplish them.

COUGAR A comment from a stranger comparing me with a prostitute was once given because I was wearing the equivalent of more than a string bikini. Whether the apparel-prescribing person's motivation is religion or an aversion to a particular flesh, I find the constant advising of modesty to be controlling and ill-considered. There are many reasons why people wear what they do. Climate influences dress. Areas of high heat often have less clothing or looser, more natural fibers. Activity of the day can determine how one dresses. People wear clothing for others and themselves. These choices reflect individuality and choice, as well as provide a pastime. Dress can be a sign of individuality and rebellion. In Survey of Historic Costume, Phyllis Eubank and Keith Tortura point to flappers, hippies and youth culture. These are all examples of young people who explored themselves through clothing. College is often a time where new adults are expressing themselves with less dress code rules than CHRONICLE they had in high school. They are exercising buying power and freewill. The clothing shrinks on many women, and youth play with new styles. Clothing investigation seems to be a phase many have to g o through, though many will inevitably pick sensible shoes over high-heels on stairs eventually. Silly as some clothes many look, they o ffer valuable cues to others about who w e want to be and who w e want to attract. Dress is adhered to in part to signal to a subculture our inclusion or availability. "Objects become signs of forbidden identity, sources of value," Dick Hebdige said in Subculture and Style. When it comes to modesty, it is a fine trait when one chooses it for themselves, but a rude command when others dictate it. Each determines what the word means, for it can be moderation, be it internal or external, limited to one virtue, but not the next. We shouldn't tell people what to wear because how a person dresses should be based on their comfort and choice. How some- STAFF one dresses is essentially their choice. B y respecting someone else's decision, you respect your o wn. B y judging someone based on what they wear, w e reveal ourselves as judgmental and slander their reputation. I find it odd that modesty is often dressed as a lack o f nudity. The hasty generalization from "barely clothed" to "of dubious moral character" doesn't make sense. It is as if the body is an object of shame, or at least the narrow bits that can't be seen in polite company are. People are born naked. Disrespecting someone based on an aversion to their body is your problem, not theirs. Stonings, gossip, alienation and other tragedies have been committed in the name of modesty. It often seems to be a trait that is applied to women specifically. Could this be a carryover from times when lineage relied on a son being unquestionably his father's? From a time when women were considered the weaker s ex, were told to say in the domestic sphere and were thought to be more emotional?

If you had to check right now, this article is one hundred percent about you. I get it, college is a time where students finally don't have parents dictating what they can and cannot wear. But just because we now have all this freedom, doesn't mean that it should be abused. It's embarrassing to me, as a woman, when I see other girls walking around campus with their butt cheeks hanging out of their shorts. And it should be embarrassing for all of you, too. I am someone who firmly believes that there is a time and a place for all different types of dress. I'm not saying that you can't wear these shorts at all, they're great for say, the beach or a pool party, but I am saying that you should be dressing appropriately for being on a college campus where you are seeking higher learning. If someone were to walk into a classroom scantily clad in a Vegas-style nightclub dress, you would think they were ridiculous. And yet, if someone walks into a classroom wearing booty shorts that show the same amount of skin, the ^ -: JH Differing opinions on acceptable campus attire range from the extremely modest to extremley daring and sometimes student/business smart.

S o w e should be dressing for success, not to grab the attention of the cute boy who sits two seats behind us in Psych 100. Ladies, let's take a step back and look at how we're portraying ourselves and our self-worth. D o you really want a guy to like you because you wear shorts that show off your assets to everyone and their mom? Probably not. If you do, then you have bigger problems to worry about than the clothes that you choose to wear to your college classes. Guys, do you really want to date a girl who wears clothes that make it so everyone on campus is getting to see the areas of vour girl- friend that only you should have the privilege of seeing? Just as an example, my friend Brian thinks that "it looks trashy" when girls wear shorts that show off their butt cheeks and that "anyone who feels the need to attract people with just their bodies probably doesn't have anything else to offer." I know you're expressing your freedom to wear whatever you want, but let's be a little more classy and discerning while on campus. We all need to focus on our studies, do well and be the best versions of ourselves that w e can be. The way that w e dress isn't just a reflection on ourselves, but also on the values and ideals of our generation. I hope to be part of a campus community that exudes confidence, self-worth and potential, rather than butt Transferring to a new school can be intimidating. Last Fall I transferred to CSUSM as a junior. I didn't know what to expect since the only college I had ever gone to was MiraCosta College for the past three years. When I went to the transfer orientation, I was astounded by the large and beautiful campus. The Kellogg Library alone must be bigger than all of MiraCosta. I was under the impression that except for the size, there would not be that much of a difference studying at a university compared to a community college. However, as my first semester here got underway I was surprised that the classes all seemed to be paced a little faster and the expectancy for good work was a little higher. That was when all of my happy ideals of being at a university were replaced by reality. For the entirety of that first semester I felt like a stranger in a new city. I didn't know where I was going most of the time and got lost more than once trying to find my classrooms (although this wasn't too surprising since I am the poster child for getting lost). I had just changed my major before coming to this school so I didn't know very many people in my classes. Thatfirstsemester for me was mainly an adjustment period. My second semester went much better. I really enjoyed the classes I was in, I had friends in most of my classes and my professors were amazing. I was beginning to feel more at home at CSUSM. I remember when the U SU building opened, my friend and I explored it with such wonder and awe. I felt so privileged to go somewhere that had such fancy and grand places for the students and faculty. Now when someone asks me where I g o to school, I tell them with pride and enthusiasm. There were three main things that helped me settle in at CSUSM as a transfer student. The first was that I pushed myself to be outgoing and strike up conversations with as many people as I could. Not only did it help me get to know some really great people, it also helped me feel more comfortable at the school. I actually met one of my closest friends during Orientation because I complimented her headband. That was all it took for us to start talking and realize how much we had in common. The second thing I tried to do was talk to my professors after class and during office hours. They have all been very welcoming and helpful. There is a professor that has inspired me more than anyone else and by getting to know her better, she has become my mentor. The last thing I did was give myself time; time to adjust, time to feel like I belonged, time to let familiarity replace the awkward newness. This is a great place to earn your degree and while it can be a little difficult to acclimate initially, it is completely worth it. My advice to a transfer student would be to take a deep breath, use your campus map if you need it, and enjoy the journey. Why Literature & Writing is best major Photo by Noelle Friedberg. By Caleb Hogland StaffWriter Have you chosen a major yet? It's kind of important. When we were preparing to leave high school, w e were all told to think about a career. We were supposed to know what career we would want for the rest of our lives. But the first step in getting to that final life-changing career is to decide on a major. You know, that one area of study you are about to spend the next four years of your life focusing on. In order to decide your major, you have to think about what you want. S o what is it? What are you the most interested in? Is money your driving factor or is it something else? The major I have chosen is Literature and Writing, and if you're wondering, yes, it is the best major you can choose. Sure, you can ask what good is it knowing about Hemingway, T.S. Eliot or everyone's favorite, William Shakespeare. But there is much more to it than knowing old and outdated writers and literary works. Literature and Writing is called literary arts because it is in fact an art. People often think of art as paintings and music and forget that writing is one also. It is quite possibly the most powerful and moving art form of all. Writing is an art where anyone can learn how to express his or herself. Not only is it a form of expression, but it is just as importantly a technique of exploration. Exploration through writing brings forth all your thoughts, subconscious and conscious, into one profound moment of expression and meaning. We all have beliefs, but how do you truly know and understand what you believe unless you have thoroughly thought it out? Writing will help you explore not just who you are, but why you are. Through writing you can better understand all topics that present themselves. Issues of ethics, beauty, economics, government, war, religion and politics can all be understood once you have written about them. The next time you think about saying "I don't know" to a tough question about something going on in the world, go write about it. You will find out that you actually do know more than you think. If it turns out you really just want a good, well-paying job, and who doesn't, a major focused on writing is still the way to go. I once heard a CEO say, "Give me someone who can write and I can work with them. Give me someone who can effectively communicate complicated ideas and I will give you someone who will get promoted." Even one of our very own CSUSM professors said that "when you turn in your resume with your cover letter, they do not see you. They only see your writing." If you're still doubting the relevance of writing, consider this: Last year Forbes, one of the leading magazines and websites on information about the world's business leaders, did a study on the top ten most desirable skills that would get you hired. Of that ten, the top four are closely tied to writing. Forbes did say the major that's "most worth your tuition" is biomedical engineering. But if that's not what you're into, and you still don't know what you're doing at CSUSM, I would suggest Literature and Writing. Plus, if the economy goes downhill you can always travel anywhere in the world and teach English. S o what major are you working on for this chunk of your life? Consider Literature and Writing. �A&E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T he C omic B ook C orner Long Beach Comic-Con Convention enters sixth year with much anticipation By Faith Orcino A & E Editor Before September ends, head to the Long Beach Convention Center for Long Beach Comic-Con where many activities will be held regarding the comic industry and fandom.

Organizers planned a vast number of interesting programs for attendees, hoping to fill their wants and needs. Partner Hero Complex of the LA Times will be moderating a number of panels in the "Hero Complex" theater room at the event while KaBOOM! provides interactive children's activities where they can learn to draw. While they offer many things towards comics, they also have panels about fiction writing, animation and movies, es- l L fU M Î b Bt E "t A U*rU N * S J1 f l I COMIC CON pecially of the horror genre. Like last year, SGX Print helps LBCC present one of the largest artist alleys with over 200 participants with a wide range of talent from web comic creators, writers to illustrators and inkers. Most recently this past week, the event revealed news that they will be honoring the late Dwayne McDuffie by creating an award under his name. More details regarding the award will be made with LBCC co-founders Martha Donato and Phil Lawrence and several distinguished members of the comic and animation industries at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27. Tickets for the convention will still be available for online purchase until Sept. 26. For those wanting to go for the whole weekend, they can get a pass for $45. Saturday costs $30 while a Sunday ticket is $20. There are a number of special packages also available with certain fan incentives. If you do plan on traveling, expect to pay for parking in and around the area. The convention center is by the Queens way Bay and many local attractions and shopping areas so there are options for dining and other activities outside of LBCC. It is best to create a schedule of your day(s) if you are to join the festivities. There will be much in store for attendees when LBCC takes place on Sept. 27 and 28. Fence/La Barda exhibit shows binational art The good, the bad and the decent By Anne Hall Advertising Manager This exhibit is an interactive installation that includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, text and writing. A team of artists worked together to create the art that fills the indoor and outdoor landscapes that was adorned with symbols of identity, culture and what could appear as everyday norms. The gallery opening reception for The Fence/La Barda took place on Sept. 13 at Art Produce Stone Paper Scissors Gallery in San D iego. They adorned the building's windows and rear garden fencing with what appeared to be paper seagulls that were cutouts of birds from magazine pages that reflect on freedom and flight. Entering the doorway, observers were greeted with the months' itinerary as the art series is scheduled to have numerous events take place through Oct 25. This "bi-national art installation, performance and lecture series" is designed to be an "interactive, collaborative installation" according to the press release, which includes a tentative performance by Moya Devine on Sept. 25 and a bi-national exhibitions lecture featuring Jill Holstin and Anna Stump at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2. A large part of the work focused on how Mexico utilized a means for recycling homes that are commonly identified as transported houses. These homes were made up of plaster, recycled wood, old wood pallets and other easily accessible materials. Because these homes had no foundations when they were abandoned, they were simply picked up and recycled to be reused elsewhere as additions to other people's homes or to satisfy the needs of new tenants. The c ampaign will end at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 with a presentation about these transported houses by Laura Migliorino and Anthony Marchetti, who are coming from Minnesota to present Occidente Nuevo: Recycled Tijuana. Anna Stump chaired the whole year-long collaboration. Students from Southwestern College contributed the transported houses that were models hanging from the ceiling of the gallery. There was a considerable amount of difficulty in the collaborative intentions of the artists for creating this event due to the fact that the artists had such a difficult time meeting. "They never met because they had so much trouble getting across the border," a professor and contributing artist, Grace Gray-Adams, said. "The reason I became involved in the campaign is because I had a fence." The fence that is far more "transparent" than the original, as so eloquently stated by a nearby spectator had shared, was donated by Gray-Adams to help create the divide where the participants must decide where the differences lie on one side of the fence as opposed to the other. Where one side of the fence is far more dense, smaller and cut off from so much, the other side of the fence is lush with a garden that leads to a path filled with lines from a poem called "Discontent" by Nilly Gill. It directs the public to the other side of the fence that has no other way finding a way out than retracing footsteps back into the garden and outdoors. There is much for the spectator to observe and ponder. So much is addressed in the exhibit that it becomes powerful as a unit.

Located on a fenced in parking area on the South Side of Petco Park, the event was very affordable, costing only $45 for entry. The block party offered the 18+ crowd a chance to see several top name DJ's, at a nearby location, for a reasonable price. After paying for parking, my group and I anxiously waited in line, dealt with security and headed for the free water fill up station. My biggest gripe with the event was with the security rules in place. Not allowing standard rave items like plush backpacks and kandi (plastic beads made into bracelets then traded with other ravers as a sign of peace and friendship), was an obvious attack on the rave subculture. The reason for this was that Diplo wanted "everyone... there 100 percent for the music. Not other stuff." This statement upset many, including the CEO of EDM promotion organization Insomniac, Pasquale Rottella. He expressed his discontent via Twitter stating that, "Since the early days, dance culture has always been a non-judgmental environment where you could express your individuality through art, music and positive energy." He also mentioned that he "lovefs] that these beaded works of art create a special bond between the giver and recipient when traded." Securing the smuggled bracelets back onto our wrists, w e made our way to the sweet spot between being close enough to see, but far enough to dance in order , to catch the last half of Cashmere Cat. This set contained a solid mix of old and new school rap that the crowd was feeling, but not really dancing too. TJR changed that dynamic dramatically within the first thirty seconds of taking the stage. Dropping a fun Melbourne Bounce style set, he managed to maintain the crowd's energy for his entire mix. The only complaint I heard repeatedly was in regards to the heat. After TJR left the crowd begging for more, EDM kingpin Laidback Luke gladly provided, spinning mainly bounce, electro and future house with a trap section to please the crowd. We opted to hang back for Flosstradamus's set, which consisted entirely of trap beats, as expected, and the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Trap is currently at the popularity level dubstep was five years ago. Diplo took the stage after Flosstradamus, dropping a blend of new trap tracks along with his signature dub sound. Unfortunately, about halfway through his set, he turned off the music in order to bring four girls from the crowd on stage to twerk (shake one's booty rapidly). He even announced to the attendees that he wanted the "guys [to] get some girls on your shoulders, I,wapt tjipm to twerk on top of you." Not to mention I got wacked in the head several times when Diplo ordered everyone to remove their shirts and swing them around while he did so on a table on stage- a standard occurrence at his Major Lazer parties. Zeds Dead saved us from this saddening display of attempted male dominance by closing the night with a dubstep heavy mix, with future house and electro tracks thrown in. The duo sent everyone home on a great note. I would definitely recommend the Mad Decent Block Party to anyone with an interest in electronic music. Judging by the success of this year and years previous, Diplo and friends will be back to San Diego next year.

She originally hit the scene in the early 2 000s, affiliated with R&B artists o f TUG Entertainment Marques Houston, Omarion and the then popular boy group B 2K, writing songs for them. She eventually disappeared for a number of years from the music scene . In 2011 A iko came back and released her mixtape Sailing Soul(s) and by this time everyone is like "Jhen£ who?" in response t o the dropping o f her album. But, as people started listening to her tracks and noticing, she rolled with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and various other members o f TDE. It was clear to people that who ever she was, she was about business. With the much success of Sailing Soul(s), she wasn't ready to stop there. S o when fans heard of there possibly being a second album, they couldn't wait. Aiko then debuted her first album, Sail Out last year in 2013, which was applauded with much approval as well, and finally her sophomore album.

Indie bands rocked big time stage By Nada Sewidan Features Editor For Indie Jammers, Sept. 7 was unlike any Sunday in Oceanside Beach. The musicians-talented, the crowds-rousing, the energy-riveting; after all, it was a sold out event. There were two oceanfront stages, seven bands and seven hours of nothing but music. Indie artists from Little Hurricane, Wild Cub, J Roddy Walston, Joywave, Walk the Moon, Bad Suns and Phantogram performed in the 2014 Independence Jam hosted by FM 94.9 located in the Junior Seau Oceanside Pier Amphitheater. Indie Jam kicked o ff the day with Little Hurricane and ended the CSUSM gains new School of Arts Things are changing and growing -at CSUSM. One of the new and exciting things that are opening up this year is the new School of Arts. The new college just opened this semester but many students do not know about it. Jacquelyn Kilpatrick, the Director of the School of Arts, is new to our school since starting in July. Her background is in literature and not art. However, she sees having a degree in literature as something that has helped her get where she is, having given her an appreciation for all areas of the arts. She developed the music and art department at California State University, Channel Islands, and CSUSM brought her in because of her experience with building programs. The administration felt that one department does not serve the needs of the students well. In order to help the students better, they brought her in to devise a plan that will help the five hoping to gain expanded programs and additional emphasis in the fine arts." Director Kilpatrick says that the Visual Arts program is the only one in our region, which is a huge benefit for students so that they have a place to go, especially those transferring from Palomar College. One o f her goals with this new college is for the students to be more active in the art community so that the school can be part of a larger hub for local artists. Right now, she says Oceanside has a vibrant arts community and is working on projects constantly. She would like the school to eventually work with people from that community in order to establish ourselves as leaders in the arts community as well. She hopes that the hands-on approach she plans to make will help students accomplish that goal. Eventually she would like these degree programs to develop enough in order to lead the way to a Masters program in the various disciplines offered.

However, Phantogram stole the show with their electro rock beats, on-stage charisma and the many excited fans who chanted "encore" and "one more song" soon after Phantogram's set closed.

"I think that the School of Arts is a very positive and exciting addition to CSUSM," Slough said.

A lso, James Gandolfini delivers his last performance with such charisma that you're whisked back to the glory days of Tony Soprano and left in awe of how talented he was. A fine job to g o out on. The Drop also does a good job at handling its tone. A s per Lehane tradition, it's got a very dark, downbeat story, and you feel the sense of foreboding dread throughout. You know from the first scene that this side of Brooklyn is not a nice place, and the movie sticks to its guns and makes itself a dark descent into Bob's personal Hell. But there're also some nice touches of dark humor, usually supplied by the remarkably deadpan Gandolfini. But even with all these good things, it seems Lehane and director Michael R. Roskam forgot to add good storytelling. This is a movie where the basic story could've been a strong one, but the way it was told didn't work. A lot of this comes down to pacing; it was slower than it needed to be, with long stretches of the movie leaving me waiting for something to happen. The movie also has some skewed priorities, focusing too much on the more mundane aspects o f the story, leaving the plot very sluggish and meandering. I'm not joking when I say that in this crime drama about dirty money, there's probably just as much emphasis on Bob's paranoia about his new dog being taken away. I desperately wanted to like The Drop, and there were definitely some good qualities, especially the performances by the two lead but poor storytelling and arthritic pacing bogged them down. It's definitely my least favorite Dennis Lehane adaptation to date, and I believe he should stick to writing books. Still, Tom Hardy's such a good actor that he makes the film bearable. 2.5/5 Paws �A & E Editor: Fatto O r a n o cougarchron.arts@gmail.com The final countdown begins By Zach Schanzenbach Senior Staff Writer Super Smash Bros, is fast approaching its Nintendo 3DS release date in North America. Japan released the game on Sept. 13, 20 days before its scheduled release date here. Rewind to E3 2014 back in June and the hype is still real, though not as imminent. Following the April 8 Nintendo Direct, only one character was confirmed to be returning: Ike of Fire Emblem who appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. During the Nintendo Digital Event on June 10, director Masahiro Sakurai gave fans a short trailer showcasing the various game modes available, alongside two brand new fighter options: the much-anticipated Mii Fighter, allowing you to play as your Mii in the game, and Palutena from the Kid Icarus games (particularly Uprising). Later that evening, after a smashing tournament showcasing the Wii U version of the game, Sakurai congregated with a number of Smash fans at a round table and unveiled other aspects of the game, including a brand new fighter option that was argu- ably one of the overall top ten hopefuls for the game: Pac-Man. In a historic match where the four gaming legends Mario, Mega Man, Sonic and Pac-Man faced o ff, the newest addition to the roster took the cake...then again, that's probably because he was controlled by Sakurai. Following the E3 hype, on July 14, a new trailer (my personal favorite) was streamed showcasing two newcomers: Lucina and Robin of Fire Emblem. Of course, while Sakurai was giving us some new fighters to look forward to controlling, he decided to show us his moves and include confirmation of arguably the most popular character in the franchise's history: F-Zero's Captain Falcon. Later, at the start of a Japanese Direct streamed not too long ago, another newcomer was announced: Shulk of Xenoblade Chronicles.

CSUSM's School of Education and College of Science and Mathematics uses this interdisciplinary program in hopes of having students enter into careers as high school Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers. Reports from The California State University Chancellor's Office estimate that in the next ten years, California is projected to need at fee rollback which would reimburse the 9 percent increase that was implemented for this fall. The CSU Board of Trustees is currently considering a proposed back-up plan if Prop 30 is rejected which would include reducing the pay and benefits for faculty, staff and administrators plus decreasing future enrollment. Lobby Corp, a new political and non-partisan group on campus has emerged this fall in hopes of getting students to actively participate in the 2012 election. Lobby Corp is also responsible for visiting the local legislatures and pressuring them to support higher education and any bills that could benefit students. Their goal is to register at least 2,000 students for this upcoming election. In addition to Lobby Corp, CSUSM's ASI will be actively participating.

Sodexo, a food and facilities management services company, was introduced to CSUSM students on Aug. 16 by campus email. Sodexo already serves more than 900 educational institutions, including hospitals, military bases, government agencies and conference centers across the nation and in some parts of Mexico and Canada. The Big Cat Bistro, Big Cat Market, on campus Starbucks and all conference and event catering will now be managed by Sodexo, just one semester after PepsiCo was chosen as the sole beverage provider f o r the campus, One of the most visual changes came in the form of new uniforms for employees at the Dome's Big Cat Bistro, All of the food servers and cashiers are now in Sodexo official uniforms, "I love it, I feel like they're taking our Big Cat Bistro to a better level. I hope that the student body is noticing the change. I wasn't a fan of [the uniforms] but work's work, It makes it look more clean cut, I guess," food server and cashier, Celeste said.

Inadequate water consumption can impair cognitive function, impairing concentration, alertness, and short-term memory. According to the European Hydration Institute (EHI), the brain represents only 2 percent of total body weight. However, it utilizes greater than 20 percent of total blood circulation. When you are dehydrated, blood volume decreases. Consequently, the amount of oxygen and vital nutrients that are sent to your brain can also decrease, impairing brain function. Hydration can be a critical determinant of physical performance. The effects of dehydration are exacerbated by physical activity, especially in hot environments, longer exercise duration, and greater exercise intensity. In vigorous activity in hot environments, some athletes are capable of sweating at rates greater than 100 ounces per hour, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 9/13 W omen' s Soccer 9/15 W omen' s Cross Country B Y C URTI S B OVE E SENIOR STAFF W RITE R B Y A LL Y Ruiz STAFF W RITE R Junior Mary Green, a kinesiology major, is the premier outside midfielder for the CSUSM women's soccer team. Q: What got you started in soccer? A: I just played a variety of sports when I was younger and just happened to like soccer the most. My older sister played soccer as well so that might have drawn me towards it more, and the fact my dad was my coach. Q: Do you think your future involves soccer? A: I think thai I will try and always keep myself around soccer like watching games and hopefully my kids want to play soccer, but I d on' t plan on going professional or playing at the next level after this. I know I ' m going to miss it so much though because I 'v e been involved with soccer since I was 4 (years old). It's all I know. Q: What are your goals for this season? A: It's always to do my best, but as for the team, it is to go farther than we did last year and win nationals. wwwxsusmcougars.com I think because our team is so young this year and I ' m a junior, one of my goals is also to be a leader on and off the field this year, be an example and be encouraging to everyone. Q: What teams are you most excited to play this season? A: Probably Westmont, who we played Sept. 18, because they ended our season last year and knocked us out of nationals, so we had unfinished business still.

W ha t do you do during U-Hour? B Y J ESSI E GAMBRELL CO-A&E E DITO R Twice a week CSUSM devotes time for student interactions and mingling during the Tuesday and Thursday U -hourfro m noon - 1 p.m. In 2006, Cal State San Marcos proposed a program that increased campus engagement while meeting the needs of CSUSM's diverse population of 6,300 students. University Hour, or U-Hour, was established in hopes of engaging freshmen in college life, encouraging student participation in extracurricular activities and connecting students and faculty outside of the classrootfi. After extensive research by Institutional Planning & Analysis (IP & A), it was determined that peak lecture hours where between 9 a m . and 3 p.m., and a larger student population was on campus on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In the 2006 IP & A preliminary study of U-hour, the department packet report said "With a continued robust Tuesday and Thursday class schedule, a University Hour on those days would further strengthen the tradition by allowing for focused and consistent programming and accommodate student organization meetings, department meetings, workshops and seminars and high profile events." Many students usually go off campus for lunch or to run errands. "During U-hour, I usually just go get food with my friend. I don't hang around school, but I do know that there is always some kind of event or tabling at U-Hour to check out," Ashley Aronson said. " I like to go get a slice from Flippin'!," someone who wishes to remain anonymous said. Some students also like to work on homework. "I would normally just go into the Starbucks room and do homework and sip on a cool drink," said Amanda Koshley. "I usually do homework, or meet up with my friends for lunch, or I go to the College Republicans meetings," Jackie Perciado said. There are also some students who like to relax at the many benches or walls and enjoy a beautiful day on campus. "I like to sit in the sun like a flower absorbing the sun," Walter Valle said. "I like to just sit and "people-watch," Darryl Mendoza said. What do you like to do during U-Hour?

CSUSM welcomes its newest sorority B Y K A T U N S WEENE Y FEATURES E DITO R Finding a solid support system in college is essential to success, and the women of Alpha Omicron Pi exemplify the qualities necessary to help young women on the path to greatness. In the chapter's inaugural year at CSUSM, Alpha Omicron Pi has constructed a framework built upon the values that will give each member a unique sense of character arid confidence. "As a new organization, our goal is to follow the values that over 150,000 members of AOII chapters across the United States and Canada follow," CSUSM president of the Alpha Omicron Pi, Jenneca Bacon, said. "Some of these values [include] inspiring women to grow personally and professionally, giving back to CSUSM and the community through our involvement on campus and establishing bonds that last a lifetime." Alpha Omicron Pi's members are no strangers to campus involvement. Many members are heavily rooted in organizations such as Tukwut Leaders Circle, Intervarsity, ASI, Resident Advisors, Peer Mentor Programs, and Honor Societies. Besides participating in campus events, the sorority will be hosting its own national philanthropy event, "Strike Out Arthritis," later this year. Their goal is to eliminate arthritis and the effects it has on people of all ages. This dedication to campus organizations and their strong foundation of friendship and service allows for Alpha Omicron Pi to represent women of exemplary characteristics. "Our sorority prides itself on the diversity of the members and the friendshipstthat we havecre-^ ated together," said Bacon. "We stand for character, dignity, scholarship, service and college loyalty and we strive to exceed the expectation." Alpha Omicron Pi believes that participating in Greek Life helps to support their members' education by giving them a strong group of friends, increased communi- ty involvement and academic events such as study nights and workshops. Recruitment week is at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. In order to rush any sorority or fraternity, students must have completed 12 units through CSUSM, transfer student units, or AP credit. While they just completed J hei r fall recruitment week, Alpha Omicron Pi is still interested in meeting new women to join their sorority. Contact their Vice President of Membership Recruitment, Myra Ochoa at ochoa029@cougars.csusm. edu or President, Jenecca Bacon at bacon008@cougars. csusm.edu for more information on joining AOII. 26,2012 F EA T U R ES H p yC an ap h g Local r estauran t offer s variet y and sense of communit y B Y S ARA H H UGHE S S TAF F W RITE R If y ou'v e ever spent time at CSUSM or Palomar College, you are probably already aware of the hidden Thai food gem that is Happy Chang. In the midst of a small, older strip mall off of West Mission Road near Palomar College, is a perfect hangout spot for locals and students craving organic Thai food. Whether it's lunch or dinner, the portions are generous and delicious. Most entrees are under $10, with occasional specials f o r lunch and students. Favorites include P anang , Pad Thai, Pad Se-Ew and Orange Chicken. Panang is a type of curry with coconut milk, bell pepper, sweet basil and lime leaves. Pad Thai is made with chicken and Pad Se-Ew is made with beef. Their Orange Chicken, made as spicy as possible, is served with a tall glass of water or a Thai Tea. "I enjoy t h e restaurant," patron Christine Hake said. "My friend and I will go just to hang out and have f u n during our breaks, j The guy gave us free Thai ice tea." Jonny Hughes agreed, "Service wise, they're pretty cool. Sometimes they give you free food if they get to know you." The décor is an eclectic mix of Thai trinkets, whimsical flowers, elephant sculptures and an unexplained collection of Betta fish. Happy Chang has a real sense of individual enterprise and is outside the typical chainrestaurant, designed for an unadventurous palate. Expand your horizons, hang out and try either the friedriceor the Orange Chicken made to a low level of spiciness, 1-3. Patrons can take advantage of the 1-10 spicy scale. If you are more accustomed to traditionally spicy Thai food, specify a higher level of spiciness. "I think it's pretty good. Especially their fried rice. I also like how they let you select how mild or spicy you want it to be. Not to mention they have boba," patron Arianna Contrado said. Happy Chang is open I I a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays at 1450 West Mission Rd., San Marcos, CA 92069, Sorority works t o create good in the community B Y K ATLI N S WEENE Y FEATURES E DITO R Last week , Reed and associates w er e on campus f or t he launch of C SU Institut e f or Palliative Car e wher e local philanthropist, D arlene Shiley, donated a sur•V- prise $ L2 million t o t he newly created institute.

As for the Obama administration's backpedaling on the planned attack to "a spontaneous response," the answer lies in electoral politics. If the administration maintains the truth that this was a planned attack, it could hurt the reelection bid, as someone would ask how our intelligence missed this. Someone had to pick up some form of SIGJNT (signals intelligence [phone calls, emails, radios, etc.]) about this attack. Where was the ball dropped? By claiming the attack was "spontaneous," it allows the administration to cover themselves by denying any knowledge of the attack before it happened. This comes at the cost of the memories of four deceased Americans. O PINIO N E DITO R Have you heard the news? Any news day is often littered with things to get upset about, but the recent embassy attack in Libya and antiIslam film "Innocence of Muslims" seriously remind us about global issues and intolerance. Protests to each are underway and several university campuses have received bomb threats as a form of retaliation. It is at this point that I am thankful to the dean of students and the campus civility campaign for holding CSUSM to a higher standard of excellence. The tenets to this campaign are care, respect, empathy, culture and humanity. Take the pledge. The fact of t h e matter is most things that can make you sick are odorless, colorless, and tasteless. This could be a cold o r it could be so much worse, as something intentionally placed in your drink. Never leave your drink unattended and never share your germs! Photo by Amira El-Khaouli N ever lick t he computer screen and other advice B Y A MIR A E L-KHAOUL I O PINIO N E DITO R Getting sick is never any f u n and while misery loves company, I am not a fan of spreading the illness. Tips to staying healthy on a college campus are as follows: If you have a fever: You are contagious. Please stay home. Fevers are associated with the common cold, the flu, and mononucleosis. I am now on day 18 of a cold. And go figure, I know who I caught it from. Think about the classes, work and other activities you will be robbing others of when you come t o school like that. Don't share drinks, towels, makeup, pillows or anything else you can think of that is a personal item. Your face is your most precious resource. Think about how pink eye spreads and guard yourself carefully. Also helpful is washing your hands. Sexually transmitted diseases are no joke. Stop being gross and put on a condom. I always hear the "it's easier said than done" excuse and there's really only one thing to say. Figure it out. I get pretty pissed about colds, so don't even think about playing Russian Roulette with a life-threatening or lifelong ailment. Also, if you haven't noticed, there is (arms spread wide apart) this much walking and (fingers held together) this many elevators, which may only work intermittently. Coming to campus after drinking the night before is not a good idea. Your mother might not have told you, but don't eat leftovers. Refrigerator shelf life is merely five days. Consider anything that's not in the fridge toxic, with few exceptions. If you are a caffeine or sugar addict, try interchanging your drinks with water. One Red Bull, one water, one soda, one water. You may not think about caffeine intoxication but it's very easy behavior to pick out. You will start acting ... hmmm ... a good way to describe it would be bizarre, stupefied or unable to think and feel properly. Allergies can be the bane of existence. Items you should always have with you if you're a fellow allergy sufferer are an extra shirt or coat, hand sanitizer and eye drops. On a similar note, could we get refills at the campus' sanitize stations? Also, I wouldn't mind less AC and more energy conservation. As for the title of this piece, while it might go without saying, your tongue + germs and radiation are not a good mix. In fact, don't lick any inanimate objects.

Dr. Maylei Blackwell is an associate professor in the Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicana and Chicano studies and women studies at University of California, Los Angeles. "¡Chicana Power!" was published f ro m University of Texas Press in 2011. The book addresses the legacy of Chicana feminism that continues to reverberate today as contemporary activists, artists and intellectuals struggle to revise and rework this vision of liberation. Dr. Blackwell was informative, enthusiastic, passionate and peppered the speech with cultural jokes like, "Now I know some of you have tried hot dogs in a tortilla." She kept the last ten minutes open for anyone who had further questions regarding her lecture.

E DITO R This 2012 fall semester has brought two new faces to CSUSM's theater department. Kaja Dunn and Victor Contreras come to campus to bring new and exciting flavors to the theater program. Merry1 Goldberg, director of the Visual and Performing Arts Department, is excited for these new Cougar professors to bring something different and interesting to the department. Professor Kaja Dunn has been acting for 14 years and has 12 years in education. She also directs theater, having just co-directed the CSUSM play festival. She has experience in teaching for Playwrights Project and Young Audiences. Some of her credits include: "The Best Christmas - Pageant Ever," "One for the Road," "The Vagina Monologues" in West Los Angeles" and A Raisin in the Sun." "I plan on staying here as long as I can. The classes are enthusiastic and there is a great energy on campus. The people are really great to work with here," Dunn said. Professor Victor Contreras started teaching theater and speech in 1974, in the Sweetwater school district, which had the first "Fame" style school on the West Coast.

At this point, audiences often feel that the choir underdog story has been there, done that. Although, "Pitch Perfect" plot centers around that theme, there are numerous pieces that makes this film worth while. Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, 50/50) plays Beca who doesn't want to give college a chance but rather follow her passion to become a DJ. After making a deal with her dad to get more involved and make college memories, she joins the female acapella group, The Bellas. With an uptight leader trying to shake off a humiliating performance the previous year, Beca attempts to bring the group some of her own fresh DJ sounds. While Hendrick brings an edge to her lead role, it is the sup porting cast that brings the movie its special ' attributes.

According to the investigative reporting website, California Watch, this issue raises questions as to who owns copyrights of the notes, the students listening to lecture, or the instructor providing the lecture. Professors at UC Berkeley and CSU Chico are concerned with note accuracy. They fear that these notes are provided by students with low grades. As a result, low note quality could ultimately hurt the instructor's reputation. "Students that [sic] are downloading or buying this information [are] _ actually not \W fulfilling their ^ sites continue to provide these notes for sale. There have already been some changes made to school policies in regards to attaining and purchasing notes from such websites. CSUSM's student conduct "prohibits any business or person from selling or otherwise distributing or publishing class notes for a commercial purpose," (California Education Code section 66450). Muniz found this situation to pertain more to a plagiarism issue as well: "I don't support the ban [of websites] but I do support actions against students using these notes for plagiarism." But there are some students who are more than willing to support the ban, seeing that some of should put up their notes... but not students who have failing grades. I don't know how tbe website would judge that, but I understand that a D student shouldn't put up thennotes [for sale] ," Karen Hernandez, CSUSM sophomore and Biology major, said. Outside sources and critics state that the universities are focusing on the wrong aspects of the situation, and the notes are simply there to share knowledge. There is still a discussion about whether disciplinary students should receive disciplinary action, although some students have already been reported in regards to their affiliation to such purchases.

"Diversity comes in a variety of f orms.. . [CSUSM is an] inclusive campus for all meanings of diversity," Haynes said. Crawford explained his five-year plan for diversity which included changes in curriculum and staff diversity composition in order to be pragmatic andT broaden the-meaning of diversity. Professors and some students questioned how this talk would be put into action during these tough financial times. Professor Marisol ClarkIbanez of the Sociology de- O partment questioned where the resources are coming from when there aren't any to give. Clark-Ibanez is the program coordinator for the Ethnic Studies minor; she stated she only receives $1,060 annually for the program. Crawford's five-year plan for diversity is due to President Haynes late this spring. In the meantime, CSUSM faces economic challenges, a 60:40 ratio of women to men and a growing awareness of diversity. There is another Diversity Forum today, Feb. 28, noon - 12:5 0 p jn. , in Markstein 103. This semester, History and Global Studies professor Dr. Kimber Quinney, and her History 393 students took advantage of a mentoring opportunity working with high school students at High Tech High School. Alongside teacher Ms. Michelle Clark, Dr. Quinney teamed the High Tech High's students and CSUSM's History students together in groups and presented their final projects, ¿11 following the theme: Wash. Rinse. Don't Repeat, on Friday, Feb. 17. With the help of Dr. Quinney's class, High Tech High's students compiled an arrangement of videos and interviews to compare historic events, such as the Holocaust, to recent events like the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Their primary goal was to spread awareness to prevent these catastrophic tragedies from reoccurring through media, interviews of Holocaust survivors and spoken word. Junior Jenna Phelps' group dedicated their video to spreading awareness of the injustices in history and how, unfortunately, it can replicate. "Racist comments aren't taken seriously, and we want to show everyone that it isn't okay andjwe need to stand up against it so it won't repeat," Phelps said. Not only did the students of High Tech High benefit from their mentors, but also CSUSM students took advantage of a great opportunity to branch out and experience a different kind of learning. CSUSM student/mentor Bryan Romanelli spoke of his experience working alongside these students. Seeing the final production come together was the highlight of his experience. "Being a mentor was honestly one of the coolest experiences ever. The students cut above the rest, took the bull by the horns and ran away with it. They were extremely dedicated and wer e on top of their work. It was great being able to work with these students for a common goal: to prevent history from repeating itself," Romanelli said.

The first quarter of the game was filled with the defense-less basketball play we come to love and enjoy during All-Star weekend. There were ferocious slam dunks, and alley-oop dunks from both sides of the court, f ro m Chris Paul throwing it up to Blake Griffin to Dwyane Wade sending it to teammate LeBron James. The West got out to an early lead, a lead they wouldn't surrender f o r the rest of the game, leading 88-69 at halftime. The West's 88 points at halftime now stand as the All-Star game record f o r points in a half. That wasn't the only record that we saw fall Sunday night. Kobe Bryant in his record tying fourteenth All-Star game appearance broke the record f o r most career points in the All-Star game passing Michael Jordan's mark of 262 points. Dwyane Wade of the East registered the third triple-double in All-Star game history with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Kevin Durant and Bryant carried the West in their win over the East. Durant led all scorers with 36 points; enough to have him voted the game's MVP. Lebron James led the East's late charge at the end scoring 36 points for the East, but also gave the ball away in the closing seconds of the game, sealing the victory for the West. " Can' t turn the ball over like that, I let my team down, but overall it was a great weekend," James said. The weekend came to a close with the West 152-149 victory, which is now the second year in a row they have walked away the winners. �THE COUGAR CHRONICLE / S ECTIO N EDITOR A LE X F RANC O c u ac r ns ot@ mi.o o grhQ .p rs g alc m mm T H E H EAR T BEAT Healthy weight loss CURTIS BOVEE STAFF W R I T E R With summer right around the corner, losing weight to perfect your 'beach body' i s perhaps a top priority. Sadly, too many people are unaware of healthy ways to lose weight and can inadvertently cause more harm than good. With so many crash diets available on the market, it is hard not to get caught u p with them. Unfortunately, they have proven to be ineffective. "They d on' t work and can be harmful to your h ealth/ ' Lea Roberg-Chao, professor of Kinesiology here at CSUSM, said. Many crash diets emphasize maintaining a 1,000 calorie diet or less, which certainly i sn' t safe or effective. The goal is to lose one to t w o p ound s per w eek. aptwo pounds p e r week . "Rapid weight loss is mostly water loss and muscle loss. "The key t6 losing weight is to look beyond going on a diet," Laura de Ghetaldi, professor of Kinesiology at CSUSM, said. One pound is equivalent to about 3,500 calories. Implementing a strategy to have a deficit of 500 calories per day would lose one pound per week on average. 500 calories per day is the difference between a salad and a cheeseburger with fries. Seems pretty easy, not to mention worthwhile, doesn't it? Imagine if you employed an exercise routine with your diet; the pounds would come off even easier. Ideally, this is the goal. Modifying only your diet might prove as an e ffectiv e m etho d f o r w eigh t effective method for weight loss, but utilizing some type of aerobic activity will prove to be more effective. "A healthy diet coupled with a healthy aerobic exercise program where one gets the heart rate up for 30 minutes per day, four days per week, will easily and safely lose one to two pounds per week," de Ghetaldi said. More importantly, crash diets work in opposite fashion of one's goal to lose weight. "They slow down the body's metabolic rate, causing the body to burn calories less efficiently," de Ghetaldi said. Keep these things in mind, and not only will you shed that 10-15 pounds by summer, but you will have created a healthy template that you can follow the rest of your life.

This was the first time that the performance was presented at CSUSM as it is typically preformed in many festivals and theaters in Mexico. Phillip Adams, of Australia, in collaboration with Lux Boreal, created the production. The company's name, "Lux Boreal" translates to, "lights from the north." The performance began with a queen-like woman lying in the middle of the stage with six dancers off to the side wearing a black cloth over their faces with feathery sashes over their bodies. In the beginning of the show, the dancer's movements started slow and leisurely, but throughout the performance, the dances became more emotional and dramatic as even some of the dancers started t o c r y . At the side of the stage, there were six red, toy pianos that were played occasionally for the effect of spiritual DANEA VANDERVELDEN STAFF W R I T E R The Wavehouse in Mission Beach played host to a Red Bull-sponsored DJ showcase and President's Day party for Greek leaders and captains from local dorms and sororities on Feb. 19. The top DJs from UCSD, USD, SDSU and CSUSM were invited to the event to compete before a large number of Wavehouse patrons and the DJs' fellow students in attendance. Selected as the top student DJ from Cal State San Marcos and chosen to represent CSUSM in this friendly competition was Justin Campbell. He opened the competition, which ran from noon to 5 p.m., and as per the rules of the contest, he had an hour to spin. After finishing his set, he joined me for a brief chat about the contest, his motivation and music in general. Campbell has been DJing for two years and has been gradually building his reputation by posting his songs online.

In "Lamb," the shepherdess helps guide her six lambs to the Promised Land. The show included multiple themes including forgiveness, innocence and sin and many biblical references. Eunice Contreras, who played the shepherdess, gave her insight to the meaning of the production. "The sheep have to trust in the path I ' m giving them, because it's the path to salvation. They have to forgive themselves, but they also must be forgiven. You have to ask for forgiveness. You have to surrender to that," Contreras said. At the end of the show, some of the dancers answered questions from the audience. "[Phillip Adams] spent his time explaining his thoughts and beliefs. He didn't give us a direct definition of what the pianos represented. He gave us room for imagination. To me the red pianos represented blood," performer Henry Torres said. ows b^ o ^ ooked ffo rr sshhows. PPerfor' erformances around the downtown scene and at such well known establishments as The House of Blues have allowed Campbell to branch out of San Diego and permitted him to spin at places like Los Angeles' historic Avalon theater, where The Beatles played their first west coast performance. When asked about his musical palette, Campbell says that his taste is quite broad, and that as a DJ, one should be open to all sorts of genres and sounds when composing a piece. This speaks to his ultimate goal as a DJ which is to keep underground music creative. As the party went on and the other DJs completed their respective sets, it ultimately became the audience that would decide the winner through applause and cheers.

I ntegrate d a rt s p rogra m improves test s core s Elementary students show significant literacy progress K YL E M .JOHNSO N S TAF F W R I T E R CSUSM President Karen Haynes recently announced that the Developing Reading Education with Arts Method (DREAM) program contributed towards improving elementary student test scores in reading by 87 points. The program is a 4-year arts integration program with a nearly $1 million grant received from the United States Department of Education. According to the DREAM website, "The goal of DREAM is to train third and fourth grade teachers to use Jo RSYPr pfec$e visit us at w w w Mt <t&du t md dkk on the "Events" t at.it Ne w pizza restaurant opens i n S a n M arco s visual arts and theatre activities in their classroom t o improve students' reading and writing skills." The program uses this training technique through week-long summer programs and classroom arts coaching with teachers. "We're not taking the emphasis off of reading and math by integrating the arts. We're really supporting it," Merryl Goldberg, Artistic Director of DREAM, said in a video on the program's website. The program is a collaboration of CSUSM, North County Professional Development Federation, San Die- go Office of Education and ten North San Diego County school districts, specifically 141 teachers and 3,000 students. "The arts, because it's at the core of [DREAM], teach creative thinking,, innovative thinking, teach critical thinking, teach how to think outside the box, how to problem solve, how to work well with others. These are skills that are just fundamental to what we need for the 21st century," Goldberg said in the video.

Facebook is undoubtedly one of the most powerful companies on the face of the Earth and in February went public and released the salaries of its employees. Sheryl Sandberg, one of the top executives of this multimedia juggernaut, makes $300,000 annually, stated the initial public offering of Facebook. A hefty sum, but for a top executive of one of the most well-known companies, it may come to us as a surprisingly low amount. The numbers herein reveal to us that at least six of the CSU system's top employees make more than Sandberg on an annual basis including the Chancellor, SDSU president and CSULB president. The average CSU president banking in on $300,541 and nine cents stated the Chancellor's Executive Compensation 2011/2012 report on www. calstate.edu. In addition to that, they also received an extra $60,000 for housing assistance. * Outrage has broken out over these facts from students and other taxpayers alike.

Why is if that these views are tolerated? Why do we live in a country that segregates cultures so much? The progress we've made seems minimal to the credo of racism, sexism and homophobia that has become a "norm" within our society; instead of promoting this notion of being "colorblind/' we should be embracing our diversity, rather than blatantly condoning the ignorant racism and hate we can't seem t a extinguish. I am however, extremely proud of the video responses from people of different genders, races and religions who made it clear that though these girls are extremely intolerable, they do not represent the opinions and views of those similar to them. Though the three girls have publicly apologized, this incident shouldn't have occurred at all. S TAF F W R I T E R When Ashley Wardle was admitted to San Diego State University, she must have been expecting a place where all ideas and beliefs were welcomed and tolerated by all - especially by school officials. However, while protesting proposed tuition hikes at the CSU Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 16, 2011, in Long Beach, Wardle was arrested after students were banned from participating in the closed-doors meeting and forcibly removed from CSU Chancellor Charles Reed's -office. Upon her return to SDSU, Wardle faced an informal hearing regarding her actions. With officials claim- ing her actions violated the school's code of conduct, Wardle risked a formal hearing and expulsion if she refused a two-year suspension. After weeks of negotiations, a settlement was presented to the graduate student: the suspension would not be activated; yet Wardle will be ineligible to participate and hold leadership positions in student organizations . This should boil the blood of every American college student. College is supposed to be an open forum for discussion and the sharing of ideas where the tolerance of said ideas is undisputed. For Elliot Hirshman, the president of SDSU, to even consider suspending a student whom was expressing her opinion is a blatant violation of Wardle's First Amend- ficult economic times, the CSU(s) must compete on a national level for highly qualified candidates to serve as presi- dents of its institutions ." Reed attempted to substantiate the swelling of these individuals' salaries, but at the end of the day, student's wallets are emptier than ever, and when students cannot afford school, they can't attend i t ; Hopefully the 'Board of Trustees' p keeps this in mind, when mulling over the potential ramifications of their next act of greedmongering. .

Tales from the nerd side: How d ownloadabl e c onten t i s r uinin g g amin g CHRIS GIANCAMILLI S TAF F W R I T E R In the current era of gaming, the amount of downloadable content (DLC) is quickly rising. Unfortunately for gamers, this rise is a double-edged sword. Don't get me wrong—we love new maps, playable characters and added storylines. However, we have a serious problem with paying an extra $15 for something that should have been packaged with the game itself. In some cases, the bonus content is available on the same day the game is released. According to Gamespy.com, "Mass Effect 3" will feature a new DLC storyline available on release day. The DLC is included with the Digital Deluxe Edition, but those who purchase the standard edition of the game will have to pay" extra. Gamers are basically supposed to pay more for something that is ready on day-one. Players also have "Game of the Year" (GOTY) or "Greatest Hits" editions to watch out for. When a game is rereleased with one of these tags, it generally features a lower price and past DLC included. Though this varies f ro m game to g ame r those patient or frugal gamers might want to wait f o r one of these editions. Sadly, not all games are rereleased like this. So paying the f ul l price could become the only solution for some. Publishers are exploiting the wallets of gangers, and it's killing all the f un . For money-conscious college students, an extra $10 or $15 could mean skipping a few meals for video game content that could have been free with purchase.

Thé universe already completed two of its biggest comics, "Fear Itself* and "Spider-Island/' but it isn't quite over for the characters. February's event is ' Th e Circle of Four" which takes place in the on-going "Venom" series. By some strange demonic force, Eugene "Flash" Thompson a.k.a. Venom, must fight with X-23, the new female Ghost Rider, Alejandra, and the Red Hulk, Gen and "Thunderbolt" Ross, to save Las Vegas. The event starts in Venom #13, with four (#13.1-.4) point issues and then concluding in Venom #14. This unlikely team must stop evil before Sin City literally turns into Hell. March is going to be an explosive month when the Avengers Academy gets some new transfer students. The misfit Runaways join for a special crossover span- ning two issues. In addition to the cast, artist Karl Moline will be the penciler f o r those issues. Moline was on the creative team for the "Loners" series, which Avengers Academy team member Julia Powers a.k.a. Lightspeed was affiliated with. Marvel expects a throw down on the west coast when the two collide. In April, two events will surely shake things up. "The Omega Effect" event creates an unlikely team. SpiderMan, Daredevil and the Punisher t ik e on some of the top crime syndicates in order to make sure they do not get their hands on the mysterious Omega Drive. It will take place in "Avenging SpiderMan #6," "Daredevil #11" and "The Punisher #10" with highly acclaimed writers Mark Waid and Greg Rucka working together with Marco Checchetto as the interior artist f o r all three issues. New York will then become the battleground for the "Avengers vs. X-Men" event. It will take place after the conclusion of "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" and "X-Sanction." Most of the fighting will be in the 12-part limited series under the same name of the event while certain series will have issues crossovers with it. Questions rise concerning those who have dual membership to both parties, such as Wolverine and Beast, to see where their true alliances belong. Many teasers are floating around comic shops and on ^ the internet, but Marvel is keeping things in the dark. Several stores such as the f a mous Midtown Comic store in New Yoik have chosen their sides. Special early release parties on April 3 will be held in participating shops around the nation, a day before the first issue of "Avengers vs. X-Men" is out. Ask your local vendor if they will be joining the festivities. For more information on any of the Marvel events, visit Marvel.com.

There was a 37-day streak of daily gas price increases that ended Friday, March 2. These, mega increases drastically made an impact on the economy and student allowances for other -material/ non-material expenses and necessities. "It puts a limit on where you can go. It's just school and work, and that's it," student Rose Jauregui said. San Diegans are paying ap- per gallon than the average person in the United States as of Feb. 26, 2012, according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices. In one week, the gas prices in San Diego jumped from $4.07 to $4.32—the highest of the season. As of Tuesday, March 6, the average price of gas in San Diego is $4.36 and at the current moment is considered to be falling, the survey reported. "It sucks a lot. I think it definitely affects the students who are already poor as it is," student Christa Van Voorhees said.

J O H N S O N cougarchron.features@gmail.com THE COUGAR CHRONICLE/ MARCH 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 Professor of philosophy visits F EATURES? ) CSUSM ipi -, Dallas Willard speaks about knowledge, authority JESSIE G AHBREL L S TAF F W RITE R USC professor Dallas Willard spoke to students, staff and faculty about his philosophical views on Thursday, March 8. Once everyone was seated, the event's emcee, Timothy Mosteller, addressed the audience about Willard's history. He went on to share about how the two first met; Mosteller was a student of Willard's at USC back in 1989 where Willard has taught since 1965. Willard has also written many books and articles and has been involved in many boards, committees and organizations, including the C.S. Lewis Foundation, Biola University and the Western Association of Schools . During the lecture, Willard spoke of many of his philosophical views including the human quest f o r adequate, life-basing knowledge, acting without sufficient knowledge and the concept of authority. "Good authority is authority you can question and test," Willard said. Regarding good authority, he used the example of times tables; everyone knows their multiplication tables. but he ,I héfo Pifitii C I "One o f the èoole s f as pe cts o f this plac e is the s light authenticity brought on by ' t c auple a f o ld lrish ìocol$;thot will c orne for 0 | lbs $ c ^p e o f pert durin^fhe We e k. • I S ome nights , y o u Sie f a g uy^yin| ;k| cig pipe s / ' S otius h X,from S drtjhie gpf i 1 I "Brame y S tone Pub: ibonic div e b qrthaty o u c a n g o to tojus t relm and t f | | > a g o o d time or e ve n g ridiculous iy g oo d time." - Mand/ ie L,, from $ an Diego , wondered if we know how we got them. He concluded that we don't question it, we just take it as is. He then spoke about faith and knowledge. "Knowledge is always objective. Knowledge is always political in its effects. You believe something when you are ready to act [in appropriate circumstances] as if it were so. You always live up to your faith, but you do not always live up to your profession," Willard said. Willard then took the lecture in a different direction, speaking on the lighter subject of spring break. He shared that ever since he started at USC, spring break was called Easter break. " I am all for celebrating spring, but something" has gone wrong in our society to deny that Easter is about someone who died and came back to life. We need to return to thinking about the basis of life," Willard said. The Arts & Lectures Series sponsored the lecture.

This is all good and proper, but when it comes to the American flag, it is standard protocol that our country's flag should be higher than any other flag next to it, unless there is a line-up of flags from other countries, according to the U.S. Marine Corps Flag Manual. As the daughter of a 30year U.S. Marine, I felt compelled to see that our American flag is not disrespected, especially at our school. So, I called up Lieutenant Douglass Miller at the Campus Police, and he explained everything to me, being a U.S. Marine in the Color Guard before serving at our school. He explained to me that according to his U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard guide* "No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the nationalflag**.~ With that being said, the flag poles in Craven Circle are not, per say, breaking any rules, but it is still "pushing the limits" with disrespect toward our flag. As a precaution, the Campus Police always make sure to bring the American flag all the way to the top and the Tales from the nerd side: Looking ahead t o t h e h ottes t games of 2 01 2 C HRI S G IANCAMILL I S TAF F W R I T E R other two flags slightly below. If you go to the Office of Provost on the fifth floor of Craven Hall, you can see how the heights of the flags c ompar e b es t . This is the most we can do f o r now, unless the campus stumbles upon funding f o r new flagpoles. The flagpoles are very expensive, and since the flagpoles are on a slope as it is, the foundation for them is very unstable, causing further difficulties in construction and manage- ment. In fact, Lt. Miller said that when he first got here, they were uneven, and the cables were tangled. He said he got that fixed right away. N o m atte r w ha t t h e c as e may be, there are ways to honor and respect our American flag, whether by awareness or fundraising activities. Our American flag is the symbol of our nation, so to have it in it's proper and rightful spot in the sky is our duty to our nation. S TAF F W RITE R Just recently, I found out that the mother of a girl I know died in a car accident. While the event in itself is devastating, I found something in the mother's back story to be even more shocking: she was a cancer survivor. % After hearing about her death, I began to think about other people who have suffered similar fates—not necessarily cancer survivors who die in car accidents, but people who essentially survive something life threatening only to die in unexpected circumstances. Thè first example that occurred to me was U.S. Marine Anthony Vargas who was stabbed and killed at a house party in the San Bernardino area in 2009. The incident was reported to have taken place just days before. his secpnd tour of duty in Afghanistan. He survived one tour only to bg killed in a home-setting where soldiers shouldn't have to worry for their lives. Another example that came to mind was the death of Ryan Dunn, star of the MTV television series and movie series "Jackass." Dunn spent so much of his time on the show taking part in reckless stunts that ranged from seatchanging while speeding to chugging an entire bottle of tequila. It came as a surprise when news broke about his death in a car accident in 2011. If you search "ironic deaths" online, you \yill be shown many lists that feature these types of deaths. Some ironic deaths mentioned are actually quite humorous because of how outrageous they are. However, there is -a painful reality behind the t o b e s een , b u t p eopl e -will be lining up for this one regardless. "Halo 4" wiU be the first time in five years Master Chief has starred a game. While not much of the plot has been revealed, the game's online trailers suggest a darker mood than the previous installments. "Kid Icarus; Uprising" is the first major release for Nintendo's 3DS system of 2012 which will be arriving in stores on March 23. Steeped in Greek mythology, the game follows a young hero named Pit as he traverses the skies to battle Medusa. This will be the newest "Kid Icarus" game in 20 years, and I ' m hoping it lives up to the fame of the original games. The game has two modes: aerial combat and ground combat. Pit will be able to upgrade his weapons and gain new ones throughout his harrowing journey. Though it is still very early in the year, gamers have the Electronic Entertainment Expo to look forward to in June. You can be sure to hear a lot of new information on the year's hottest games. "You're going to Hell!" Why fanatic preachers conflict with Christian doctrine F REDRIC K M ISLE H The painful side of irony K YL E M .JOHNSO N One of the biggest games oOne of the biggest games of the year, "Mass Effect 3," was released earlier this month. While this game was released quite early in 2012, this year has some very promising games yet to come. The "Assassin's Creed" series has recently been lacking in terms of originality. The past three games have featured the same main character, Ezio, and it's about time we heard about the next game in the series, "Assassin's Creed III." This new game will take place in the bloody days of the American Revolution. Players will control a half-Native American named Connor as they battle their way through the snowy frontier of New England .The new, uniquesetUng is a welcome change from the seemingly overdone cityscapes of Italy . The first-person shooter "BioShock: Infinite" is also due out toward the end of this year. The latest installment takes place in the dangerous city of Columbia located high in the sky. The new location is bright and vivid as opposed to the dingy Rapture where the previous two games took place. "BioShock: Infinite" features a new device called the skyhook which allows players to quickly zip line from platform to platform. The game promises plenty of strange and exciting secrets much like the series' previous entries. Master Chief will be returning this year for more explosive. action in "Halo 4." The Xbox 360 exclusive has changed development teams from Bungie to 343 Industries. Whether or not that is a good thing remains three'mentioned here. Far too often, you will hear about soldiers who die while on leave, whether in a car accident or by murder. And thankfully, cancer survivors often live long enough to tell their story. But there's a real tragedy taking place in all these instances, as well as many others that can tie into the similarity in the irony. Perhaps the devastation comes from the unexpected shock of the outcome of these events—the surprise, essentially. While it is quite literal for the soldiers who share this fate, these individuals are all fighting one war and then dying in a completely unexpected one. Hie environment of the illusory war where they- experience their tragic fate doesn't resemble their real war whatsoever, leading to an untimely and startling outcome. STAFt WRITER Many of us at CSUSM have at least heard of the "You're going to hell!" preachers who love to flock college campuses to tell students they're sinners who will go to hell unless they repent. Our own school had one such preacher proclaim that very message during the week of March 5 - 9, causing quite a stir and a bout of mockery. Let me start by confessing I am an ardent Christian. I believe Jesus is the Son of God. He was crucified for my sins, was buried, and rose on the third day; I believe He will come again. The aforementioned kind of preacher, however, makes me want to sin, we deceive ourselves, renounce my faith. None- and the Truth is not in us" theless, I found that many and "If we say we have not of the Christian teachings I sinned, we make Him a liar, believe in demonstrate that and His Word is not in us" this preacher is completely respectively. Immediately, wrong in his philosophy and I could tell this guy didn't know his doctrine. approach. He also told me that God I had a conversation with the preacher who was on was "angry with sinners, and campus this past week. He Jesus came to condemn all told me he was completely sinners .'Mf this preacher unwithout sin once he was born derstood the teachings in the again. Two verses in First Bible, he would know God John - 1 John 1:8 and 1:10 is heartbroken, not angry, (English Standard Version)- over our sins. John 3:16 ESV read, "If we say we have no reads, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, and whoever believes' in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Does that sound like an "angry" God? Certainly not—1 John 4:8 ESV simply reads "God is love." Christianity in its purest, elemental form is about loving one another and being a good person as well as believing in Christ's sacrifice, not hating those who you judge to be wrong.

The plot for both the show and movie is young cops going undercover as high school students to solve a crime. But that is where the similarities end. While the 4 80s show is classic, each episode taught the audience a lesson. The movie is a modern, comedic take on what would happen if two young cops went undercover at a high school.

Trailers for the film have advertised it to look like another "Prince of Persia" installment mixed with the arena scenes from "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones " (If it weren't for the alien creatures featured, "Gladiator" would've been a much more suitable comparison). However, the one arena scene in "John Carter" lasts only about five minutes and is featured about two-thirds of the way through the movie. What remains is far greater than marketing has led audiences to believe. Based on what is considered the first science-fiction novel, "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, tells the story of Civil War veteran John Carter through a journal following his death. The journal being read by his nepftew; E<3giar Rice Burroughs, who has just inherited Carter's entire estate, contains a documentation of the last thirteen years, in which Carter was transported to Mars where he took part in a civil war taking place on the neighbor planet. The acting isn't great* but the story is fascinating as it deals with parallelism between civilizations. While many might compare the plot to those of such films as "Avatar," "Dances with Wolves" and "The Last Samurai," it is merely timing that accounts for this, as Burroughs wrote the original story in 1912. There are a lot of comedic moments, which balance nicely with the epic sci-fi atmosphere of the film. Most notable is the miscommuni- Movies coming t o theaters Friday, March 16.

This controversial play was initially banned in several countries throughout the world in the early 1900s due to its blunt portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse, suicide, masturbation and sadomasochism. When shown in New York in 1917, public outcry forced production of the play to shut down due to charges of obscenity; "My character...is a philosopher. He's constantly questioning society. Religion is what he's mainly questioning. Religion was so influ- ential in society at the time. He's always pursuing knowledge," said Christopher Murphy, CSUSM senior playing the lead role of Melchior. Throughout the play, the audience follows four teenagers and their sexual realizations while trying to navigate through our . sexsaturated culture. The play maintains a comedic tone and employs alternative rock as part of its musical score. ''This play is still relevant tod.ay because teen sexuality is still taboo. The play raises questions on teenage life, not just sexuality. The playwright [Frank Wedekind] thought adults Were moronic . All adults are illogical, and their names indicate that," Murphy said. " I' m most excited about exploring the different as- pects of sexuality. There's heterosexual sex, queer sex, masturbation, dealing with abortion and there's even S&M. Experiencing how the audiences react is something I ' m most excited about The sex scene, while short, is very intimate. This play deals with sex in a very real way, and is impactful," Murphy said. Tickets are $10 for general admission, or $5 for students with ID. Tickets are available at the door. Performances begin Wednesday, April 4 at 7 p.m. and continue throughout the weekend. The performances will take place at the Arts Building, Room 111.

This year, Jason Russell and the Invisible Children Foundation have taken their voices in spreading thè word of Kony and their mission: to arrest him for the countless injustices he's caused in Uganda. With creativity and perseverance, the Invisible Children Foundation has fought to bring justice to Uganda in a way that culture and society intertwine, through media. Through Facebook, a social networking site that currently has around 500 million active members, Invisible Children is spreading the word of Kony by sharing and forwarding the message, generated and narrated by Russell with occasional help from his son, Gavin. The mission revolves around the idea that to stop Kony, people must know who he is and understand his brutal actions. On April 20, the Invisible Children Foundation plans to "Cover the Night" in cities all over the country to spread awareness of Kony to stop his 26-year-rule of abducting around 30,000 children and forcing the boys to kill their parents and join his army of the LRA (that has occasionally promoted peace) and the girls to be sex slaves.

This campaign is driven to ensure that affordable quality higher education is accessible to all sectors of society. Sociology professor Garry Rolison explains, "the Campaign for funding Higher Education takes a different perspective and that perspective is that we can actually do it. We can continue to publicly fund our universities and we don't have to fund them on the backs of students and increase tuition and fees." By design, the CFA exists to provide opportunities for everyone seeking higher education. The members advocate quality education for our students, fairness for instructors and policies that ensure access to higher education. The Campaign for the Future of Higher Education has released three papers geared towards stimulating a more thought-provoking method about paying for higher education in the country. According to futureofhighered.org, two of the CFHE working papers address the misconception that funding higher education through the public sector instead of steep increases in tuition is merely impossible. The other paper focuses on the idea of a free higher education and inFlJTURE CONTINUED ON 2 2013 Senior Class Gift campaign aims at raising money for student scholarship BY MELISSA MARTINEZ N EWS EDITOR After last year's success with the Senior Class Gift Campaign, the Foundation Board and student committee are aiming to create a scholarship to continue aiding current and future students. The Senior Class Gift Campaign started in 2008 and began its student committee in 2011 to bring student voices, ownership and responsibilities for students to help their peers. Last year, the campaign raised 106 gifts, more than the two previous years combined. In addition to "matching donors"—people who would match what the campaign raised dollar for dollar to a certain amount— the ending amount of gifts resulted in raising just over $6,000. While CSUSM is still a relatively new campus, the campaign aims at building a legacy in raising money for students. Following campuses that have implemented the Senior Class Gift Campaign for decades, the student committee for the campaign traditionally decides exactly what the students would like the funds to support. Last year, student affairs approached the committee with a new fund program f or students called the Student Emergency Fund. It makes funds available for students who experienced unfortunate emergencies, like an apartment fire or the death of a family member requiring the student to need a plane ticket home. Every year, the student committee decides and designates a program they wish the gifts to benefit. Unless the donors specify the program or college they wish their donation to go to, the donation will go to the student committee designated program. Last year, : that program was the Student GIFT CONTINUED ON 2 13 CSU SAN MARCOS �N ews Editor: Melissa Martinez cougarchron.news@gmail.com F EES FROM I Have fckougkfcs, c o*w*vteKfcs, o p l K t o K S ?

Rolison is a strong believer in the power of education as are many of the supporters of CFHE. "It is a pathway for an informed citizenry and the realization of equality and democracy. But there will always be issues of equity, of course. However, we are in a situation right now where, because of basic inequities, we don't have everybody in the university that could benefit from education and if they don't benefit, we d on'tbenefit," Rolison said. Although the campaign has been initiated by university staff, it will take a broad movement of students, fami- ELECTIONS FROM 1 For graduate students, you must complete three units for at least one semester prior to the elections and have received a bachelor 's degree within the past three years at CSUSM. 3) Write-in Candidates: If you don't like any of the candidates, there is a special space on the ballot where you can write in someone's name. The write-in candidate can only run for one office and inform the Elections Committee of their plan to run for office by completing paperwork. However, a write-in candidate must meet all candidate qualifications. 4) Advertising Limitations: All candidates have rules as to what they a je allowed to advertise to the voters.

For example, if you want to make a senior class gift and would like the gift to go back to CHABBS, you can do that," Associate Director of Development & Annual Giving, Sean Briner said, . "If you are a scholarship recipient of some sort and would like to help the next student who might be receiving that scholarship, you can make your gift and designate it to that scholarship, you can." The product of the gifts raised last year benefited students right away.

As professor Rolison said, "the point of the matter is that we have the possibility to train students to become activists." Those possibilities are feasible though the Students for Quality Education (SQE) organization as they mobilize to build the student movement for educational rights in public higher education. Students for Quality Education are working closely with the California Faculty Association with a shared vision to improve educational justice in the CSU system.

To pass such a fee, the campus must gather student input. The campus can consult with students through a vote or a process called "alternative consultation." CSUSM has chosen the alternative consultation process which involves hosting forums and asking for input on their website csusm. e du/successfee/index .html) through a survey with a feedback form. The CSU system codes states that an alternative consultation must get "input from the student body association and the fee advisory committee [is] to ensure that the process is transparent, and meaningful, and will solicit the input of a representative sample of the student body." To address questions and concerns of students and staff, two open forums were scheduled that presented key a plateau in the 2015-2016 information on where the school year with a $275 per funds generated would go. semester fee charge, a $550 The first forums were held yearly rate that is expected to on Feb. 26 and Feb. 27.

"President Haynes determined that the use of alternative consultation was more appropriate than a student f ee referendum," Baur said.

Alternative consultation ensures that students from all aspects of campus life have an opportunity to participate in decisions regarding fee increases and the use of those fees." The success fee website indicates that feedback is required by March 12. Some students oppose the fee and d on't feel the university has given them enough time and information to comment on it.

As the Chronicle recently reported , CSUSM has again been recognized as the safest four-year university in California by Stateuniversity. com. Of course, the inclination to congratulate ourselves for being the kindest, sweetest and most open-minded students and professors in California is tempting, but there's always credit that must be given to the men and women of the UPD and Chief of Police Robert G. McManus. So what have these peacemakers been up to? Apparently, they've been doing We have a few students on campus who are homeless. So, the money is being well used immediately," Briner said. The committee aims at showing students the importance of giving back to fellow or future peers. As Briner highlights, "the idea of a senior class campaign is to teach students what giving back (some call it paying forward), the impact of giving can have on their current and future students." This year, the Foundation Board decided to create a student scholarship to be distributed next academic year. "What students probably don't realize or don't think about is [that] some of the things they're able to take advantage of at this school is philanthropic generosity of people who've come before them. So whether it's a scholarship, a building, a . program, a lot of times those are funded by people who have given," said Briner. The senior class campaign asks students of participation—regardless of the amount of the gift—to participate and give back to current and future students in their time of need and understand the importance of giving. Though the title states "Senior Class Gift Campaign," the committee of students includes both seniors and juniors; students of any year are able to make a gift benefiting their current and future peers. This year, the Senior Class Gift Campaign asks students to give $20.13 in honor of the class of 2013.

When asking McManus whether the UPD is shy when it comes to releasing crime reports, he replied, "Communication between UPD and the student body is sometimes mishandled," and that they "take caution" when proceeding to give out information. "Being careful about proceedings" as McManus put it, is essential in avoiding miscommunication. Police reports: According to McManus, "a typical week on CSUSM consists of DUI reports and noise complaints," with over 50 percent being from non- students. H e then proceeded to list off three or four alcohol violations, only1 one of which was f rom a CSUSM student from this past week. The 21-year-old male student was caught at 2 a.m. wandering aimlessly in the middle of a street adjacent to campus. Alcohol on campus: Alcohol, it seems, is still a topic of importance to the UPD and is perhaps one of the most crucial factors in maintaining the No. 1 spot on the list of safest universities in California. The Chronicle recently highlighted opinions by our editors on whether the campus should remain a dry 1 56 E. B arham Drive, S ari Marcos, C A 92078 campus or, pardon the expression, get wet. In rebuttal, "there is an inherent downside to alcohol," McManus said. "The CSUSM campus is relatively quiet compared to SDSU or UCSD."* So while CSUSM remains the safest and possibly friendliest university in California, Chief McManus supports the continuation of a dry campus to maintain as much peace as possible. There may always be an occasional inebriated student wandering around, but according to the UPD, for CSUSM to remain peaceful, it must remain dry as well.

Concussions are the most common form of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and any blow to the head should be taken seriously. According tô the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.7 million people sustain a TBI annually, or every 21 seconds in the U.S. A concussion is caused by a bump, jolt, or blow to the head, resulting in impairments in brain function. When left untreated, concussions can cause serious brain damage. A common misconception regarding concussions is that there need be a loss of consciousness. This is not true. In fact, most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness. Symptoms of concussions can include: - confusion - clumsiness - nausea or vomiting - slurred speech - headache - problems with balance - dizziness -, sensitivity to light or noise - sluggishness - ringing in ears - behavior or personality changes - concentration difficulties - memory loss Importantly, even when the symptoms disappear, brain function is still not 100 percent normal. It is imperative that you are medically cleared before returning to any kind of activities, including sports and mental activities. If you or someone you know sustains a concussionlike injury, it is important to do the following: - Refrain from further participation in activity. This is extremely important. You might feel like you can continue and fight through the pain, but if you have sustained a concussion, the symptoms will not go away. Further participation with TBI symptoms will certainly exacerbate any symptoms. - Get evaluated by a medical professional immediately. - Wait to return to activity until cleared by a doctor. It may take anywhere from weeks to months before being cleared medically. "It has been five weeks and I still haven't been cleared by my doctor to return to swimming or surfing," Tess de Ghetaldi, daughter of faculty member Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, said. Tess, currently a junior at Torrey Pines High School, has suffered recurrent concussions, twp of which were major TBIs; the first due to being hit in the head with a long board while surfing. She i s currently part of an NFL study through UCSD and has had extensive medical testing to determine the severity of her head injuries. "Tess has had CT Scans and MRI's on her brain; however, it wasn't until she had magnetoencephalography (MEG) which revealed the extent of her injury," Dr. de Ghetaldi said. MEG machines have a diagnosing rate of 90 percent; however, only 20-30 machines currently exist in the country. CT's and MRI's diagnose concussions only about 10 percent of the time, emphasizing the need f or MEGs when serious head injuries occur. Further studies indicate that those who experience multiple concussions are atrisk for subsequent concussions and are more likely to. develop persistent post-concussive symptoms, including depression, which can have life-long repercussions. Alarmingly, those who have experienced a concussion are three-to-six times more likely to experience recurrent concussions. The message is simple, if you hit your head, get checked out.

Cougar bats come alive in sweep of vi siting Ashford BY ALEX FRANCO S PORTS E DITOR The offensive struggles appear to b e over now for the CSUSM baseball team as they trounced the visiting Ashford Saints Monday, March 4 in San Marcos. The cougars scored a combined 22 runs in the double header, in what Head Coach Pugh called their best performance of the season by far. "We really swung the bats better today than we have all season, I knew we better than what we were showing." Pugh Said. "Hitting is one of those things that's just contagious, one guy gets hitting and they all s tart." And that it was, as the hit totals hit double digits in 3/7 Baseball VS Ashford at 1:30 p.m. 3/8 Softball VS William Jessup at 1:30 p.m. 3/9 Baseball V S Sioux Falls (DH) at 11 a.m. 3/10 Baseball V S Sioux Falls at noon 3/11 Softball V S William Woods at 2 p.m. 3/15 Baseball Vanguard at 11 a.m. contributed another three RBI's going 2-5 and 1-3, respectively. Catcher Kody Sepulveda helped the cause by adding a solo homerun to straight away centerfield in the sixth inning. Game two of the double header saw more of the same out of the Cougars with some added production on the offensive side. CSUSM struck early and often, with score six runs in the g ame's first three innings on its way to a dominating 14-2 rout of Ashford. Bentson and Sepulveda once again jump started die offense, picking up where they left off the last game with first inning RBI's to put them 2-0.

CSUSM won the first game with a score of 8-0, as star pitcher James Dykstra pitched another dominating lights out game, surrendering only three hits to Ashford hitters and striking out 11 in a complete game shutout. "Pitching was great, James Dykstra was outstanding especially after coming back from being sick for a week," Pugh said. The Cougar offense helped take the pressure off Dykstra throughout the game striking first in the third inning off a Kenny Belzer single to left that scored Kyle Secciani. Belzer would finish the game 3-5 with a pair of RBI's. Fellow teammates Brandon Bentson and Tyler Bernard S PORTS E DITOR CSUSM's very own No. 1 ranked softball team carried a 10 game winning streak as the Lady Cougars hosted Arizona Christian, Hope International and La Sierra for the two-day Cougar Clash event. Friday, March 1 was the start of the clash when Arizona took first swing at the top ranked Cougars against AilAmerican Cortney Allen. Allen demonstrated why she is considered one of the best in the nation at her position as she kept Arizona Christian's bats silent f or four innings on her way to an 11-1 pitching record in this early softball season. Olivia Lucatuorto began the scoring in the clashes opener with an RBI double in t he first inning to score Kaitlin McGinley and finish the game 2-2 with a pair of R BI's. The offense was powered by right fielder Patricia Banda who helped bring in 4 of the Cougars total runs going 1 -2 with a double. CSUSM would win the game 11-0 and f ace Hope International in the second game of day 1. Banda would once again be the driving force of the Cougar offense has she brought in the game's first 2 runs against Hope International. Alex Miller led the team going 3-4 with 2 doubles and a RBI on the day. Allen pitched another shutout in game 2, this time going six innings and striking out 5, carrying the team to 5-0 victory in the first days final game for CSUSM. Sunday picked up where Friday left off when the Cougars would take on Arizona Christian for the second time. CSUSM scored a bevy of runs in the first 3 innings of the match led by Tani Leasau and Taylor Ybarra's third inning homeruns that brought in 2 runs apiece. Ybarra had a triple on the day as well finishing 3-3 with 3 RBI's beating Arizona Christian 10-1. Cal State looked to finish the Clash unbeaten as they faced La Sierra in the final clash of the weekend. The Lady Cougars would have to fight from behind this time as La Sierra struck early with 2 runs in the first inning off of pitcher Allen. CSUSM would answer right back with 2 runs of their own in the bottom of the first inning with Leasau belting a double to left field to score Lucatuorto and Banda. Alex Miller would give the Cougars the lead in the following inning with a steal attempt of second base that allow Brittney Guy to score to put them up 3-2, a lead they wouldn't give back winning 8-2. Leasau and Brogan Hoenisch led the way for the offense both going 2-4, helping Cortney Allen pick up her fourth win of the weekend. Allen pitched both games Sunday afternoon striking a total of 8 batters. "We are a young, growing team and we have some growing pains right now but we came away with four wins this weekend and that's what's important," Head Coach Dave Williams said on his team's performance this weekend. "We just have to work on being mentally prepared the day of the game and be ready to play." Coach Williams also says the young Cougar squad feels no pressure to perform and win being ranked atop the NAIA polls and have tucked it away and is just focusing and getting better each week. ? | IBB Chronicle stock photo from the Feb. 2 game.

He spoke to me not as a professor, but as a new friend. I also noticed something else unusual. Students were walking up to him and shaking his hand when saying hello. Within the time he allotted me in conversation, he had at least twenty-five students approach us and greet Professor Santos. It was as if I was momentarily with a rock star that was sharing with me the gift of music. The music Santos was sharing was critical thought within criminology and I was quickly becoming a f an. After the recent success of Father Boyle's visit to our campus last month, I wanted to talk to Professor Santos about the event and his connection to youth gang issues. Professor Santos considers Father Boyle his mentor as well as his friend. In addition to this, he told me how he went to UC Santa Barbara and CSU Los Angeles, where he majored in Sociology. One of his biggest motivations to succeed was a teacher that he had in high school. "I was a smart ass and thought I was funny and trying to be cool. Mr. Peter LaFarga talked to me about going to college. He was the first to sit me down and talk seriously about what my f uture could hold.

Homework was a priority for me and friends who were closest to me respected that and understood," Santos said. - As he spoke, it was evident how much he loves the area of Boyle Heights and how much he missed many of the people he grew up. "When I got to college, I was amazed at how bright the students were. It was uncomfortable for me to speak, because I spoke differently. I also dressed differently and felt out of place. One day a professor called me out in class to answer the three forms of government. Everyone looked at me and I felt embarrassed that I couldn't answer him. He thought I was being disrespectful and taking up space in his class so he threw me out. I left the classroom and was upset because I knew the answer, but felt it didn't matter to anyone in that class. I stood outside the door and didn't want to walk away from school. I came back in and yelled out Judicial, Executive, and Legislative. Everyone stood up in class and started clapping for me. The professor apologized and had me take a seat back in class. I then knew that I could actually be a college grad someday," Santos said. "I was really inspired by Professor Santos in his youth gang class, him having so much knowledge as he Xuan Santos (right) with artist Saul Figueroa (left) at the opening of the "Incarceration, Liberation, Imagination" exhibit in Kellogg Library.

"The students see Professor Santos as someone who cares about them and wants them to succeed, not just in the classroom but out in the world. He's a role model that the students see as being real and someone who is creating positive change for our local communities," Santos' current student Jose Martinez said. "Xuan Santos has an incredible connection to students that is profound. His gut level of experiences in life and his reaching out to community through his teaching and understanding is unmatched. He sits in many group sessions with our students and is part of the process of change," Director of the Hannity Foundation in Vista, Dwain Rogers said. "My instruction is to connect students and understanding the difference from people that struggle every day.

" I'm seeking out a career in law enforcement and have been on numerous rides along with police officers. Xuan Santos has the ability to dispel the stereotype and return respect and dignity to a group of people whose only violation is that they are part of a lower socioeconomic level," Dawson said. From my own experiences with Professor Santos, I can agree with Dawson and the many others who speak so highly of him. While I have tried for three semesters to take Professor Santos' course on youth gangs, the class always fills up within a few days. This semester was no exception, the course becoming full before I could even register. I 'm now realizing that with one semester left, I might not be able to take any of his courses before I graduate.

C OPY EDITOR Many students are aware of the CSUSM LGBTQA Pride Center on campus, but there is also another club that shares a similar name: the LGBTQA Club. The LGBTQA Pride Center, located in Commons 201, is described as a "welcoming and inclusive space for all students, staff, faculty, and friends to socialize, study, make new friends, and build community." The area is open to all who are interested and openminded, or even curious about the environment that is present here. The Center is a host to many in-house events, such as discussion groups, game nights and movie nights, with an occasional night of karaoke to spice things up. Whether you are looking for information or simply a place to hang out, Pride Center California State U niversity San M arcos this is an option available to students. The LGBTQA Pride center is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday - Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. For more information about the center and events, stop by at any time during those hours. The LGBTQA Club is a student org that is welcoming visitors and members as it continues to grow over time. Their goals are to promote a safe environment for all students and staff, as well as to educate students on issues relating to the LGBTQ community. The club also has hopes to advocate f or a more comprehensive LGBT curriculum and generate a larger field of understanding on LGBT topics. The LGBTQA Club holds meetings every Thursday during U-hour in Kellogg 3010 unless otherwise noted. For more information about the club, attendance to the meetings is open to students and staff.

Amnesty International provides a great opportunity for criminology or political science students as well as students involved human rights and doing good. Amnesty International is an international organization with strong goals to fight injustice and promote human rights all across the world. They tackle various issues like helping those who are political prisoners in other countries, travelling to areas in which there is great ine- quality on various levels and the issue of the death penalty and alternatives to it. They also address other issues that affect the overall state of the world, both on the f rontiines and behind the scenes. North County's chapter, Amnesty International Group 471, is also working towards the same goal. "[Amnesty International] is a non-partisan organization... and tries to get governments to enforce a universal declaration of human rights," Steve Wiener, Amnesty International Group 471 member, said. Formed about 25 years ago, the North County chapter has grown to around 20 members that has bi-weekly meetings, twice a month. Wiener has noticed that the majority of student involvement is on the high-school level, with few, if any, college students involved. It is uncertain as to whether this is due to a lack of student motivation or knowledge of the existence of Amnesty International. "Intrinsically, it's very rewarding. [Students] are welcome to show up for a meeting. We also do educational events, everything from film screenings to seminars with famous speakers talking about a human rights issues in North County. I 'd encourage sociology and history Shamrock Shindig SENIOR STAFF WRITER Once again, it's the time of year when the Irish spirit can be felt all over campus, and ASI is more than happy to make use of the opportunity to put on an event in celebration. On Thursday, March 14, ASI plans to hold its annual Shamrock Shindig during U-Hour. In celebration of S t Patrick's Day, there will be an explosive party thrown in front of Kellogg Library, complete with free food, dancing, potatoes, performers and an appropri- ately large amount of the color green. This enormous celebration of everything Irish has proven fantastically popular with students in the past, with over 200 students in attendance each year for the past several events. Free food has been one of the major contributors to the event's popularity. "It's definitely a celebration you don't want to miss. It will certainly bring out the Irish culture," Sh a mr o ck Shindig coordinator Kathleen Atienza said. Most exciting about this particular "shindig" is the feature of dancers from the local Rose Academy of Irish dancers, who will be performing traditional Irish dances for the gathered students. In addition to this, they have volunteered to give a brief tutorial on Irish dance for students who may want to join in. Overall, it is an easy and convenient opportunity for students to be a part of the Irish spirit on campus while having plenty of food and f un in the process. from the international headquarters in London or the international headquarters in D.C., a human rights prisoner, always in an external country, never on behalf of someone in the same country.

For those who may be interested in this, there is CSUSM's Study Abroad Program, the campus's proud organizer of exchange programs between CSUSM and foreign schools. "Practical benefits are many for studying abroad. It's a resume builder, it can give you a competitive edge when talking to prospective employers," Study Abroad Coordinator Tiffany Gabbard said. There are a variety of programs designed to cater towards students' desired schedules. The most popular is the semester exchange, which is a single semesterlong exchange to a school in a foreign country. Other programs can run as short as two weeks or as long as a full academic year. Studying abroad is incredibly flexible and designed to work with both the student's time and money. Many of the transfer schools-that students can choose from also speak a fair amount of English. "There are different fee structures in place for shorter-term programs...we try to be aware of our student's needs. For the semester exchange and year-long programs, you are essentially paying the same tuition you would here," Gabbard said. Students who have participated in the study abroad program have had positive things to say and found that they got a chance to explore themselves and their possibilities. "Studying abroad was one of the highlights of my life," Lance Rosenberger said. "I feel I learned and grew more in my one year abroad than in my whole time in college." The process is incredibly simple questions are welcome at the Office of Global Education in Craven 3200. Students can also visit the Study Abroad page on the school website: http://www. csusm.edu/global/, for information on schools that fit their interests and work for their majors.

After all, it tells the remarkable story about the fall of the world's most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden. However, with a powerful movie about the United States government and one of our country's most inspiring yet haunting stories, a storm follows about what really happened. "Zero Dark Thirty" started off strong by being already nominated for multiple awards before it was released in theaters. However, the film only won one Golden Globe award for Jessica Chastain's performance as brutally tough and obsessive CIA agent Maya. At the Academy Awards, the film was nominated for five awards but walked away with only one for Best Achievement in Sound Editing. The biggest concern of the film was the torture scenes that may or may not have left moviegoers under the impression that these methods helped track the military to Osama Bin Laden. Senators like Johii McCain, Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin complained heavily about this issue simply stating that the methods of torture such as "waterboarding" did not result in Osama's death. Like many movies, and even the movies that were nominated for Oscars this year, are heavily dramatized for the audiences. "Zero Dark Thirty" is no exception. I was recently indulging in some routine Facebook poking around when I came across a friend's status: "Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that its 5:30 p.m. and its nowhere near dark.

Of course, there was the issue to consider that law enforcement officers were being targeted and were quite likely in greater danger than bystanders, but the lengths gone were a bit extreme with a few near misses along the way. Although it did indeed come to a close, I feel as though the methods used weren't by the book and could have resulted in damage not only to others but damage to the reputation of law enforcement in the area.

It gives me hope, hope that summer is on its way, hope that I can get through the remainder of the school year; and it brings me joy thinking of all the good times that lay ahead in the months of summer — the first sign of this being the prolonged light. The tradition of DST (daylight saving time) was actually introduced by Europeans during World War I.

The first myth I hear about all the time is that study abroad costs too much. This is false. In my year abroad, I paid the same tuition cost as every other CSU student, My rent was cheaper and I lived blocks away from Piazza Santa Croce and the infamous Florentine cathedral, I could buy most of basic goods each week at the local swap meet while supporting the local merchants and farmers. Best news of all, your financial aid travels with you, making it even more affordable. The second myth is that studying abroad can delay graduation. Again, this is false. If you plan for your program, you will study in your academic major and minor abroad, often earning just as many units, if not more, than you would earn at CSUSM. All coursé work taken from abroad will receive academic credit if it comes from an accredited institution. In your search f ora program, choose where you can get the best academics for your time and be sure to meet with a faculty advisor to make sure your courses correlate to the ones on campus. The third myth deals with the host country's language. While it can be very nerve racking to go into a foreign country that speaks a different language, you will be glad to broaden your perspective once you realize how language informs culture. While I was abroad, I took language courses that helped me adapt to my new country, The vast majority of study abroad options at CSUSM, require no foreign language fluency as coursework is offered in English. Don't let your fears about learning a new language keep you from this opportunity. Chances are your English skills will be enough to study and travel abroad. J Homesickness. is the fourth myth of studying abroad. This differs between each individual, but I found that with the advancement of technology, I was still able to talk to my family multiple times a week. Skype, Facebook and email helped me fight my homesickness, Every time I started to feel homesick, I planned to travel somewhere so I could send a postcard to my family as if I was traveling in their honor; cheesy I know, but it worked, Beyond this, you will have a whole new set of priorities and experiences abroad, so you may be surprised that homesickness may not strike as often. Lastly, myth number five concerns safety both abroad and traveling. Many worry about the unknown and that is exactly why this myth exists. Not to say that it's invalid, but we all are uncertain about what we don't know and it's understandable. I definitely worried the first time I traveled outside of Florence. I had a complete itinerary listing hostel numbers, airline numbers, consulate numbers, and other emergency numbers. I was well prepared for anything to go wrong and what I found was an amazing change of culture. Everywhere I traveled I found welcoming peopie and in many cases peopie who were interested in me and where I came from and wanted to know about America. The best travelers are those who are prepared, yet flexible and open-minded to where their travels take them, Studying abroad for a full year gave me an unforgettable experience that has Photographs taken of Christina Bartianon during her year abroad in Italy.

This athletic sense of architecture may seem like the perfect solution to the "freshman fifteen" and the "sophomore twenty" and so on. However, while these stairs may cut off those cookie calories, most people don't consider those unfortunate few whp are unable to use. this alternative means of working out. Take me for example. I hate stairs. I mean I avoid them by all means possible. Whether it's laziness or lack of motivation to actually get up and move, I try to avoid these beautiful stairs at all cost. Boy, did my appreciation for these stairs change when I was faced with the challenge of being temporarily handicapped. My only way of accessibility is through the use of elevators and handicap ramps, which are inconveniently placed. Long story short, I was in a car accident. One week after being in the hospital and recovering, I stuck out like a sore thumb when I returned to school. With a neck brace, two huge scars on my leg and one sexy scooter that I drove around campus in as I attempted to defeat the long day ahead. My first day of classes absolutely sucked. I had to take an extra 20 minutes to maneuver around campus, trying to find the few elevators that weren't past their safety inspection expiration date. I got stuck in an elevator twice, drove around i n'circles trying to find ramps, got trapped on the bridge from the parking lot and had to attempt to open doors by myself while operating the scooter. Now d on't get me wrong, those nifty little buttons that open the door for people in my situation are great, but only when they are working. Attempting to successfully maneuver around campus is like solving a Rubik Cube, nearly impossible unless you know all the secrets. I will say one positive thing about being handicapped; the Disabled Student Services (DSS) staff on campus is absolutely outstanding at their job and exceeded in making me feel comfortable to come back to campus after my accident. Anyone who needs any type of assistance should go to DSS. The director, John Segoria, is awesome. . As a person who is only temporarily disabled, I am very thankful that I had help in getting around campus. From an insider's perspective on "Cal State Stair Master," I think that the school should attempt to become more handicap-friendly. Just one way the school could accomplish this is to have accessible maps to find all the elevators on campus. The blue handicapped push open buttons are very helpful, and so they should add more and make sure they are functioning well. All in all,4 being temporarily handicapped showed me the other side of things, and I hope that other people can speak up too so some changes can be made to make it easier for handicapped people to move around campus.

As a student, offering more course sections and academic support seems like a fresh breath of air, however, I do not understand why we, the students, should pay more to receive these resources that have yet to be determined. The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success Fee states, "Why a Student Success fee?" and further says: to help ensure students graduate in a timely manner." This is something every student will benefit from, however, how will charging us money that could« potentially go to campus recreation help me to graduate a semester early, as the presentation states? I understand the importance of academic support and being involved on campus. However since most of us aren't able to afford the tuition and fees now, we are all going to be too busy working extra hours to make rent, tuition and now our "student success fee." Yes, some of us get financial aid but what about those students who don't benefit from financial aid? Don't make us pay another fee without asking first. The "success" fee was first introduced last semester and there were two open forums providing information on the fee on Feb. 26 and Feb. 27, with another one slated^ March 12. In the presentation provided at the Feb 27 forum, I felt that the information highlighted only the benefits of the success fee, skewing the information in favor of students. Honestly, I feel that this "success" fee presentation is trying to make the students believe that it is up to us to pay for these resources. The presentation also showed that in 2013/2014, if approved, the student "success" fee, would start at $175 a semester, then move up to $225 a semester in 2014/15, and then rise once more to $275 a semester in 2015/16. My question is why the in- crease? What also caught my eye was the survey that was so generously offered on the website. Now, if you are a student, faculty or administrator, you are able to complete the survey and in completing the survey, you are asked which departments you would allocate $100, assuming the fee is approved. Not "do you oppose or approve the student success fee?" When I tried filling out the survey, I put $0 in each of the categories and stated my opinion iti the following forum. I was not allowed to submit because I did not properly distribute a $100 total: This makes me wonder whether the forum following the survey is even considered since regardless if you agree on the success fee, you must distribute a total of $100 amongst the presented options. If you are serious about stating your opinion, I suggest filling out the forum on the "Send Us Your Feedback" page, however, if you do not agree with the fee, you cannot properly complete the survey, without deciding that certain departments should receive a certain amount of money. However, if you'd like to ask administrators directly about the fee at the open forum, you can't because those providing the forum only represent the administrators and information regarding the fee. When asked questions regarding the fee at the Feb. 27 forum, Student Affairs spokeswomen Bridget Blanshan announced that debate of the fee is not welcome to multiple students. If you want to raise your voice, take the survey! Tell them where you want the money to go, even if you don't want it to go anywhere! The survey instead should include a choice of whether students agree. I heard at the Feb. 27 open forum that the reason this was not taken to a vote (a guideline in implementing a student fee at any CSU requires either a vote frdm the students, a referendum or an alternative consultation) was because it was believed that they would not receive proper feedback. The CSUSM website dedicated to the Student Success Fee states, "President Haynes determined that the use of alternative consultation was more appropriate than a student fee referendum. This decision was based on the consistently low voter turnout the campus has experienced during ASI elections and other fee referendums held on campus." However, I believe that had the students been given an opportunity to vote, they would receive appropriate feedback and that was proved with the results of Proposition 30. Because proposition 30 affected money, students cared. I don't believe the case is different with CSUSM students. Offering an alternative consultation rather than a vote is a way for CSUSM to get what they want from students without giving them the respect of a voting opportunity. Maybe this "success" fee is important; maybe it will benefit our campus more than it will take away from students. However, does CSUSM believe that .proposing a "success" fee without first allowing students to vote is the right way to do this? For example, students are currently charged for the building of the Student Union. This does not infuriate students because we know exactly where the fee is dis- tributed. From what students understand about the success fee is that it's being proposed and administration has yet to decide which department(s) on campus will benefit from this fee. This fee was approved at multiple CSUs. For example, at Cal Poly Pomona, there is information on exactly where and how the fee will be distributed. Their website even offers a fee breakdown of where the fees will be disbursed each year (csupomona.edu/~studentsuccessfee/ faq.shtml#faql). I believe if CSUSM offered us the same information as well as the right to a vote, the success fee may be approved and even supported by students Even the university .admits on its website, on a page listing the pros and cons of the success fee proposal that without a vote "there is not a way for students to reially say NO to the fee." That is a pretty big disadvantage when you're asking students for more money; it's taking away the opportunity for students to have a voice. I encourage all students and faculty to attend the forum at U-hour, March 12 in Arts 240. Since 2007, the State appropriation to C SUSM has been cut by approximately $20 million or 20 percent, while the number df students has increased by approximately 20 percent The budget reductions of the past five years have seriously undermined the ability of our campus to maintain the current levels of student support.

'Cariz Barkley,' a local artist w ho loves the music BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR Carly Skeletoyer, known as "Carlz Barkley," is a local San Marcos musician with a ukulele and admirable musical talent. Growing up with music was an integral part of her life, with her childhoodspent being involved in choir as well as taking vocal and piano lessons. Eventually moving up to perform in musicals and singing for special events. Skeletoyer taught herself the ukulele, what could be described as one of her instruments of choice, during her stay in New York as part of an AmeriCorps program where she ran choir and hiphop clubs in an elementary school in the Queensbridge projects. Since then, Skeletoyer has had the opportunity to play with a full band at venues around San Diego and even tour the West Coast to Seattle and back. She has even begun working on a full-length album of original songs. The talented musician describes her style as one that carries a basic pop/folk structure. "But then when the band plays 'em they end up sounding surf-y. Beach-y. Warm," Skeletoyer said, while going over past performances with a full band alongside her. "There are some R&B and country numbers in there too, though. I like to mix it up." Her lyrics could only be described as a personification of internal thoughts. " I'd also like to think that it wouldn't necessarily be my diary," Skeletoyer said, noting that she herself is her own life narrator. Skeletoyer cites her friends and the things they say as primary influences to her songs. A student of feminism, she also cites great feminist leaders, particularly Gloria Steinem, as inspirations to v ^ *. her music.

The competitors included one student each from UCSD, SDSU, USD, while CSUSM had two students representatives; Alec "T3ch- F4LL" Pagliaro and Edric "Reekz" Quintong, DJ Alec "T3chF4LL" Pagliaro was selected to be. the first performer of the night, of which he said, " I've got to set the bar pretty high," and acknowledged that it was a real "privilege and an opportunity" to get to participate at such an event. DJ T3chF4LL has performed on many occasions at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, as well as D J'd at clubs in downtown San Diego, Los Angeles, and at events on the CSUSM campus. Pagliaro said that the "vibe and the energy of the club," is what pumps him up when he is on stage performing. His friend and mentor, DJ Devon Hodgan came to the event to support Pagliaro and listen to his interesting set transitions. "His set has a lot of energy and it's an emotional roller coaster of genres, and he might even get you to sing along a bit," Hodgen said. DJ Edric "Reekz" Quintong was the fourth artist to perform at the event. He has previously competed in the DJ takeover competition, as well as at the Red Bull DJ contest that had taken place last semester. Before Quintong's set, his roommate, Bryant Force, said he had listened to DJ Reekz work on his set in the garage a lot, and "I think he has a good chance [at winning], and we support him a Student capstone illustrates the frustrations of dating B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E EDITOR For those of us graduating in the spring, the term "crunch-time" is an understatement of how we feel. We want to make sure that we complete all of our assignments properly and go out with a bang as we get ready to close this chapter and welcome in another one. For Cassie Chase, a visual and performing arts major with an emphasis in theatre, all of her work during her college career will be coming to an end. Her capstone p erformance " Venus i n F u r " will be premiered for the public. In the play, she plays one of the leads, Vanda Jordan, and is producing it as well. "Venus in Fur" tells the story or a director, Thomas Novachek (played by Christopher Murphy) who is in search of a female lead f or his adaptation of the same titled play about the origins of masochism in 1870. The character Vanda Jordan is an extremely driven, passionate, aspiring actress who arrives late for her audition. Thomas and Vanda read the parts for Sverin Kushemski and Vanda Von Dunayev, respectively. Soon they cross the lines of actress and director and explore the boundaries of sexual tension and power throughout. "Vanda is eccentric and intriguing, as she does not divulge much about where she comes from or who she is," explained Chase about her own character. Last spring, both Chase and Murphy were the leads in CSUSM's "Spring Awakening" which was about a child's tragedy and discussed other taboo topics. They both enjoyed the more adult relationship that is presented in "Venus in Fur" which is one of the reasons they were drawn to the roles and story. The "Venus in Fur" play was originally written by David Ives in 2010 and premiered on Broadway in 2011. "My personal inspiration for choosing such a script was to use a small cast of reliable people in a play that pushed the envelopes in an intriguing way," Chase said • about her inspiration to have her adaptation of the play. "I have a preference for comedy, and this play has a dark tone that I love. Christopher and I were interested in the depth, intensity and passion of these characters." While the play may have dramatic themes, students will be able to relate to certain situations and feeling that the characters embody. "The tension explored is familiar tension throughout the dating world today. Mind games, sexual tension, unsure feelings and traipsing into inappropriate territory is touched upon," Chase said. "On some level, I think students will understand the tension felt between two people who meet and ignite each other." "Venus in Fur" is directed by Justin Levine as a guest director and an artist in the visual and performing arts department. The play will be playing at 7 p.m. on March 8 and 9 in Arts 111.

W i t h the tedium of classes and other stressors in o ur daily lives, w e present you with a de-stressor playlist that consist of low-energy songs with just enough hook t o keep you from falling asleep on your homework but t o calm the nerves and ease the mind. "Out My Mind, Just in Time" By Erykah Badu This soothing track from the Neo-Soul artist, Erykah Badu,' is sure t o calm with its jazzy feel and sweet undertones of lové and deep emotion. Although it is lengthy at a good 10 minutes long, the time is sure t o pass by while absorbing this closing track from her fifth studio album, " New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)."You might even find yourself wondering if you've listened t o more than just one song. "I Love the Rain" By The Real Tuesday Weld Though it may not be raining outside, you might find yourself wishing it w ere with this upbeat track that is surprising in its ability t o put the mind at ease with more pleasurable thoughts about the weather outside. W hether it be in humor at the heat o r reminiscence of chill, queue this song up and you'll find yourself wanting a good rainy day. "Rewrite (Adem Remix)" By Sia H ere is a song that presents a calm and intriguing air about it from this Australian singer-songwriter that is part of the genius behind some songs w e all know, such as " Diamonds" sung by Rihanna and "Blank Page" sung by Christina Aguilera.This track shows a beautiful blend of the voices of Sia Furler and English singer Adem llhan. "Distractions" By Zero 7 W hether o r not you focus on the lyrics, it is a good song t o get lost in and perhaps even daydream in. Just*a w ord of caution: if you think the ideal is portrayed in this song, you'll be quite surprised by the flip side of every verse. That dreamy smile might just come t o a quick thoughtful expression on your face.

Jared James Abrahams , 19, of Temecula, pleaded guilty to three counts of extortion and one count of unauthorized computer access in a U.S. District Court in Santa Ana on Nov. 12. He could face up to 11 years in prison. In a brief interview with The Cougar Chronicle on Nov.

Students are painstakingly scurrying to pick the right classes, despite approaching finals. For many of us, crafting a schedule is an added annoyance to the combination of studying for finals and other important responsibilities. "I hate how they have us signing up before finals, it is super stressful! I am more excited for graduating than for next semester," CSUSM student, Stephanie Borders, said. Other students expressed excitement for choosing new classes, but were still stressed by small selections. " I'm very excited f or next semester, school and signing up f or classes has always been very intense and fast paced, but I always get excited to see what classes will soon be available. I wish there . were more options!" CSUSM student Kristin Bebout said. 2013 underway Most students are struggling to make their schedules fulfill both general education and major requirements. Many of them are also trying to make a schedule that will give them adequate time for the rest of their lives: work, study time, friends, family and sleep. But there are a whole host of unusual sounding classes which many may not know about. The following are just a few noticeable options that can be found while searching the class schedule. ENTR 320, taught by Bennett Cherry, is titled "Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship" and meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at both 8 a.m. or 1 p.m. A bit of an enigma, LTWR 107 is taught by " Staff' and is simply titled "Humor." It meets at 1 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other artistic pursuits include MUSC 395 and VSAR 110. Described as "Intro to Sculpture," VSAR 110 meets on Fridays at noon taught by David Avalos or 2 p.m. taught by "Staff." Titled "Javanese Gamelan Ensemble," MUSC 395 meets Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. and is taught by "staff." Some music classes feature studio recording segments and give students an opportunity to utilize the on-campus recording studio. Recently a student in passing said how the recording studio is "really good and has great sound equipment," as well as how he was going to use it while he was a student here. Visual and Performing Arts classes also often give students access to a long list of creative resources students may not have at home. These range from a black-box theatre and art gallery to studios and digital media labs. A class near and dear to The Cougar Chronicle's heart, VPA 495 is called "Internship" and provides journalistic knowledge from an academic advisor from The Union Tribune. Students can take it as VPA 495A which counts for 1 unit, or VPA 495C which counts for 3 units. This allows students, with busy schedules to have more ease in fitting in the course. It meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a m . and is open to all interested in journalism, regardless of major.

Though a lack of available classes, finals and a long list of requirements are frustrating, students may have a chance to try something different. T ry«to take advantage of credit difficulties which sometimes make for a less than desirable schedule and consider looking for an elective to create a better schedule. Under "Additional Search Criteria" one can specify times and days they would like to go to class with a few simple mouse clicks. On limits for course registration, the CSUSM website says that "undergraduate students will be allowed to register for up to 17 units and to waitlist for no more than 10 units for the Spring 2014 semester." Sometimes, it is good to have a bit of diversity built into a. busy schedule, since this helps build well-rounded students. For those trying to get through school quickly, it may seem difficult to add more classes for f un, but it is definitely worth the time.

A AZUSA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY God First Since 1899 • Recently, the Coaster's leadership proposed banning booze among riders. While that ban has been withdrawn, drinking on the •A9' 49 Amtrak trains have been restricted after 9 p.m. since 2009. The proposed and couched ban is one move in a long history of San Diego's aversion to booze in its public spaces. Many riders, who may be coming fronrwork or school, like to unwind while ? riding with a beer or wine. Some people have argued that since those riding the train are using public transportation and not driving, they are not being reckless or technically driving intoxicated. "The Coaster is one of the region's few public-transit serviqes that permit alcohol consumption. Open alcohol containers are banned on all of San Diego County's trolleys and buses, as well as on the Sprinter light rail that travels between Oceanside and Escondido," Chris Nichols of The Union Tribune said. The Oceanside ban would have taken effect Nov. 21 when the North County Transit District's board of directors had scheduled to evaluate it, due to an increase in complaints about obnoxious drunken passengers. Oceanside Coaster making its last evening stop. Image by William Walbourne. The district spokeswoman, Deborah Castillo, cites the withdrawal as being because of a recent backlash against Jhe ban that has surfaced since the it was proposed. Previous bans began early with Prohibition affecting the nation from 1920 to 1933. Beer, wine and liquor were made illegal except f or medicinal uses by hospitals and medical officials. It was mandated by thè 18 th Amendment {enacted in 1920), which was made possible by the Volstead Act (1919). The 21st Amendment would repeal the 18th in 1933. In the 1970s, most CA beach communities banned alcohol on the shore. It took San Diego until 2008 to do this, shattering a link between these luxurious beaches and the image of a vacationer with a cocktail. The ban had been voted on after a series of complaints about disruptive drinkers and solidified with Labor Day riots on Pacific Beach that elicited riot gear and pepper spray from officers of the peace. This furthered the resolve of ban proponent Kevin Faulconer. "Under no circumstances is it ever OK to have that environment happening . . . We have an obligation to protect people at the beach, and what happened on the beach was not safe," Faulconer said. In 2010, the booze ban extended from beaches to the bays themselves. Protests ensued into Mission Bay, in an innertube-assisted 'floatopia' leading up to the ban's enactment. Self-checkout for alcohol was banned in 2011 and went into effect Jan. 1, 2012. It was part of an effort to prevent sales to minors. Temperance, prohibition, beaches, bays and grocery stores appear to be the movements leading up to the proposed booze ban on the Coaster. There may be little connection, other than the land they occur on, which is California public space. For now, a total ban has been put aside on certain transit c a r s , but riders stffl can't drink before 9 p.m. �Sports Editor: ' JustinDonner cougarchron.sports@gmail.com Cougars prowl into Kansas Cross country teams will be well represented in Nationals Get Out!

Over 5,000 people packed the chute to start the 5K. It looked more like a dance club than a starting line. Runners and walkers waited in anticipation as the DJ blasted some grooves. Finally the countdown came, and the first wave of runners were off down the course. It was lined with lights, amps and enthusiastic volunteers.

I f or one am grateful f or my education. Education has molded and shaped-all of us into the people we are today. School is something that most students take for granted because it is so time-consuming and requires so many hours of hard work. Some also feel the privilege of an education is a basic right, but in reality we are extremely lucky compared to others. The United States is one of the top ten most educated countries in the world. We should feel fortunate to call this place our home. I know it is easy to think of school as a chore, but it is also such a blessing. One of the main reasons we are who we are today is because of the teachers who have poured their knowledge into our lives, all of the time we spent learning to read and write and because of all of our crazy professors who challenged us to think more critically. I think it is time that we become more appreciative of all of the years of schooling we have been privileged to learn f rom. Without them, who knows where or who we would be and what kind of worldview we would hold. It was in school that we made some of our closest friends, learned how to multiply and were taught about the founding of our country. Your education is the only reason you can even read any of the words on this page and the ability to read is definitely something to be thankful for. So on Thanksgiving when you are sitting around the dinner table stuffing you|* face with turkey and delicious pies, take a second to think about all of your years of education and how f ar they have brought you.

All tragedies, where people have died or been injured, should be a t ime in* which a costume inspired by that would be considered inappropriate. Alicia Ann Lynch, 22, Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, both 19, seemed to not understand this concept. Lynch (from Mich, igan) wore a costume of an injured Boston Marathon victim while Langford and Collinge (from England) dressed as the World Trade Center Towers with planes, flames and topped with the American flag. It is disgusting that these young adults would step out of their house wearing costumes like that. It is safe to say that these girls clearly* were not thinking.

When professors hand you a syllabus, i t's supposed to outline the course and what to expect through the semester. It often includes grading policies , guidelines and contact information f or the professor. Most professors will also lày out the semester in a convenient and well-formatted schedule. Busy students will make use of this and appreciate formal layout as it will help them to keep track of their work as thè semester continues. What students may not have noticed was the little note on the bottom of the page that states that the schedule subject to change at any time. When the professor announces a change in the schedule, students begin to flip through their planners to rearrange their schedule and disregard the old syllabus that no longer applies. In all fairness, professors d on't usually plan on changing the schedule just to make students mad. Sometime schedule changes are completely out of the professor's control. But if a professor anticipates a change in schedule throughout the semester, as some do, then it may be best t o reevaluate creating a syllabus at all as the back and forth may cause confusion. Including a schedule in certain courses, such a s math, is a good idea as the formulas usually stay on task. With a class that doesn't deal with numerical concepts, including a continually disrupted schedule may be hazardous to a student's grade. If professors are going to change a schedule, then it is advisable to give students a revised copy in order to maintain organization.

Luckily, Netflix created a new, alluring series entitled Orange is the New B lack. Amongst other renowned Netflix-produced series like Arrested Development and House of Cards, Orange is the New Black does not disappoint. It . premiered in July of this year, with all 13 episodes available at once. The show already m ade a huge buzz and has a large, dedicated f an base. T he series f ocuses on Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her thirties with a seemingly perfect l ife in. New York. She has a supportive fiancé (played by Jason Biggs) and a new business venture that is quickly taking o ff. This all changes, however, when P iper's past catches u p with her and she goes~to prison due t o a drug-related c rime. T he series mainly f ocuses on P iper's time in Litchfield Penitentiary and the women she meets there. With a misfit c ast that includes an ex-lesbian lover, a super-religious meth addict, a vindictive Russian cook and m ore, the show is entertaining and addictive. Orange is the N ew Black Black successfully draws the viewer in with flashbacks, intellectual dialogue and intricate storylines. Because of its unique plot devices, the series is able t o show what this experience can d o t o a person and how it changes t hem. It f orces Piper t o f ace the f ears that she could otherwise avoid on the outside. Although Piper is not ^ necessarily a likeable lead character, she certainly is a relatable o ne.

When asked his view on the increases as a student and a member of the board, Vargas stated, "I do not sup-: port the fees either as a student myself or as a student representative on the board. At the same time, I recognize the need to preserve access for all students. I share the views of the California State Student Association on the right strategy to approach this Jssue— including presenting other solutions or alternatives as amendments." As for Chancellor White, he sent a clear signal of the need for a new dialogue on rebuilding higher education. I believe his decision demonstrated the type of steward he will be of our system's resources. The trustees selected him because he is the ideal candidate to represent the CSU (students, faculty and staff). He is the product of the California Master Plan for Higher Education and a first-generation college student from a migrant family. Chancellor White's deep connection to the university community clearly influences his leadership.

If Obama's plans prove successful, they will be benefitting from a stronger job market and lower tax rates. This will result in a greater chance of them finding a stable job to support themselves, as well as less taxation, which prompts consumers to spend more money.

Due to rumors of student protests in different regions in California, the board decided to postpone the meeting. Shortly after, incoming Chancellor Timothy P.

He seeks to make getting a college education more affordable, tuition cut in half by 2022, and to make America the country with the most college graduates in the world by 2020. One of the ways that Obama has worked to achieve this is by making large investments in Pell Grants, something that has a huge impact on college students. Pell Grants, which is federal student aid that does not need to be repaid by the student it is awarded to, lead to more opportunities for students to afford college. Since scholarship and financial aid funds are limited, increasing the amount of funding given to students gives more of them an opportunity to afford school long enough to get their degrees. By getting more students graduating from college and educating more of the nation's youth, this ensures that the next gen- eration of workers will be qualified for better jobs, which also boosts the nation's economy by getting more people to work. * Regardless of students' political affiliations, President Obama's policies will have a huge effect on their lives for the next four years, and it is extremely important that they stay informed on what changes or stays the same during his time in office. received raises themselves, he feels the pay cut is appropriate, saying "Despite the passage of Proposition 30, there-remain grave economic issues to solve in California and the California State University. The success of the measure was the voice * of the voters and taxpayers of California to start to reinvest in education. I also recognize that Californians expect me to properly steward these resources. Consequently, as I join the faculty, staff and students who have experienced cuts, salary freezes and increased fees, I, too, must do my part. This is the basis of my request to reduce my own compensation to contribute to the rebuilding of this great university." U P D FROM I .

Prop 30 Prop 32 Yes No 25 out of 28 3 out of 28 Prop 30 (Sales and Income Tax Increase), which passed the election on Nov. 6 is a constitutional amendment proposed by California Governor Jerry Brown.

With the spring 2013 semester's priority registration opening Nov. 15 and running through Dec. 7, students will only be able to register for a max of 13 units and be waitlisted for no more than 8. Although CSUSM Views students taking 6.1 or more units as full time, the 13 unit cap was put in place to allow students to carry at least the 12 required units for financial aid purposes. "CSUSM is sometimes referred to as a 'hot campus' now, so we had to enact a restriction to allow everyone to have an opportunity to sign up for classes. Although we have been seeing that the average of units per student has been 12.3. We are hoping this helps the 'bottlenecks' that occur during class registration," Associate Vice President For Planning and Academic Resources, Dr. Graham Oberem said. « gg¡. s s a 0 $10.00 off According to a studentwide email from the Office of the Registar, the 13 registered and 8 waitlisted "first pass"unit cap will be lifted on Dec .17, allowing students to then register for.up to 17 units. CSUSM is not the only CSU campus that has made this restriction this , semester. CSU Northridge (CSUN) and CSU Long Beach (CSULB) have also enacted this restriction to help curb the overflow of student sign-ups. Both CSUN and CSULB actually lowered their restrictions to 16 units. In regards to the class limit, not all students are opposed to the new "first pass" process put in place. "I like it. I think it's good because then everyone gets their classes," student Chelsea Power said. According to Dr. Oberem, the only exceptions that can be made are for spring 2013 graduating students, veterans and military students who require it. "I got to petition the unit cap because I am a graduating senior, it didn't affect my spring schedule after all," senior Amanda Peace said.

Whether it's the abundance of Christmas parties to attend or the never-ending baking of pies, cookies and cakes, temptation during the holidays is inevitable. The following are ways to avoid overeating during the holiday season. -Extra time: during the holidays, we tend to have more free time, especially students. Although this time is a "break," plan to utilize the extra time each day to participate in some kind of healthy activity. Utilize this as an incentive program—the more calories you burn, the more you can consume without negative repercussions. -Portion sizes: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pies, etc. The list goes on. You do not need to create a mas- terpiece by seeing how much food each plate can fit. Instead, try limiting, portion sizes to the, size of your fist or smaller. In addition, as you inevitably make your way back to the line for your third and fourth servings, make a point tg take less each time. -Alcohol consumption: the more you can limit your consumption of alcohol during the holidays, the better. Not only is alcohol empty calories, greater consumption will cause you to eat more and be hungry for longer, a combination for uncontrollable caloric consumption. -Moderation: just because your grandma makes a pumpkin pie todie-for does not mean you need to eat the entire thing. Focus on limiting yourself and the amount of each food that you consume. As goes with por- tion sizes, try just to eat enough. Yes, there may be 4 deserts offered, but this does not mean you have to eat every one of them. Leave the table feeling satisfied, not stuffed. During one holiday season, overeating and the resulting weight gain will not hurt you; however, cumulatively it adds up over the years and will increase the risks of obesity. Making and sticking to a plan this holiday season will provide you with a template to follow for the rest of your life to combat overeating during the holidays and the risks associated with it. C ougar s g o f o r f ou r straight w in s C SUS M basketball downs Biola 85-78 and Vanguard 85-69 BY ALEX FRANCO SPORTS EDITOR The CSUSM men's basketball team hosted their first home game of the season with a bang on Wednesday Nov. 14, when they took on BIOLA University in front a strong Cougar fan base at Mira Costa College. The No. 20 ranked Cougars looked to improve and keep their two-game winning streak alive against the No. 13 BIOLA Eagles, who entered the night's contest undefeated. The Cougars got off to a blazing start opening the game to a 15 point lead over the Eagles. BIOLA wouldn't fold easily to the CSUSM offensive onslaught as the Ragles fought back to erase the early deficit and bring themselves within four points late into the first half. With the half coming to a close, the Cougars opened up the lead again, thanks largely in part to Jose Rivera, who hit a team high four three-point shots. The Cougars took a 42-35 lead into halftime, a lead they wouldn't give up for the rest of the game. The Eagles came within two points of the Cougars midway through the second half but CSUSM would respond building the lead back up to nine. With time dwindling away late in the game, BIOLA charged at the Cougars, #15 Jose Rivera looks to steal the ball against Biola during the Wednesday Nov. 14 game. Photo by Alex Franco pulling with four with a few minutes left in the game. Ali Langford's late intentional free throws solidified the win for CSUSM, beating BIOLA 85-78 and handing the Eagles their first loss of the season. CSUSM improved to 3-1 on the season and will look to move up in the national rankings after their second impressive win over a high-ranked opponent. Langford led the way with a game high 27 points and eight rebounds to pace the Cougars offense throughout the game. Rivera contributed 20 points of his own, sparking the offense when it appeared to have slowed down hitting clutch three-pointers. Just two days later, On Friday Nov 16, the Cou- gars faced off against Vanguard University and extended their winning streak to four with a 85 69 victory. After trailing by 9 in the opening minutes of the first half, the Cougars were able to use a 20 - 4 run in over a seven minute time frame to take*ta 4133 lead with a minute and 22 seconds left in the half. Jacob Ranger, Quincy Lawson and Hakeem Washington were the teams leading scores with Ranger scoring 18 points and both Lawson and Washington scoring 17. *Due to our publication schedule, we were unable to publish the results of the 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20 home game against San Diego Christian.

CSUSM' s ' Suspenders' t ake Arizon a by st or m BY MELISSA MARTINEZ N EW S EDITOR CSUSM's undefeated flag football intramural team the "Suspenders" defeated six West Coast teams at the Regional Championships on Friday, Nov. 9 held at Arizona State University. This marks the first ever trip by a CSUSM team to the National Campus Championship Series at the University of Central Florida on Jan. 4 - 6. The Cougar Chronicle interviewed team captain AJ Kirkpatrick on this glorious win.. Question: What were the games like leading up to the playoffs? Answer: We started off with two pool play games against smaller schools: CSU Northridge and Fort Lewis College (Colorado). We figured those were good schools to start off against, seeing as we had no previous experience and had no idea what to expect. We ended up beating CSU Northridge pretty easily, and then same against FLC. Once we realized we had the best point spread and the number 1 seed in the whole tournament, we knew we had something good going. That moment was when we turned our mindset up a level and never looked back from there. Q: How did your team practice throughout the season? A: We had two "gettogethers" with a couple players at a time, before the season, but nothing even close to a real practice, and once the season started we still didn't have a full practice. We were all just on the same page from the beginning and we all knew our role on the team. Everyone just executed every play and it just happened to mesh perfectly. Top: The "Suspenders" team after their win in Arizona at the Regional Championship. Above: Team captain, AJ Kirpatrick with Regional Championship trophy. Photos provided by AJ Kirpatrick Q: What was your experience like in Arizona? A: It was surprisingly not very hot, the temperature was about 65-70 degrees with a cold wind the whole time. It was really cool to hang out in a different state and with different people. Talking to locals and other travelers about their experiences who had no clue who we were or where we were from was interesting. We loved the area and had a blast all weekend. Q: Can you give me a few highlights of the games? A: There are so many highlights but there are a few that stand out. In our first game, Marc Berry had 4 interceptions and basically set the tone for the whole tournament. There were multiple great plays from one-handed catches to divingflagpulls on a fourth down goal line stops. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, our quarterback, Josh Leiber, ended up being the Tournament MVP with 34 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. / Q: What does this mean for your team in Florida? Who are you playing? A: Our team is going to travel to Florida and play against the champions from all 6 of the regional tournaments. Those will most likely be the toughest competition as other local teams will be able to buy their way into the tournament. There will be good teams, bad teams and great teams, and we see ourselves as a great team. - Q: Is your team nervous? Are you nervous? A: I don't think we are so much nervous as we are anxious. There is always "butterflies" before a big game or tournament, but all we can do is go out there and play football like .we know how. We don't care who they are or where they are from. We will go out, play our game on every down and hope that is enough when the final whistle blows. After seeing what we are capable of in the regional tournament, there is no limit to what we can or can't do. We will train and practice and I guarantee we will be ready to compete with the best and put CSUSM on the map. Only time will tell. Keep an eye out for us. �4 Features Editor: Katlin Sweeney cougarchron.features@gmail.com F EATURE S T H E C OUGA R C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY , N OV . 2 1 , 2 0 1 2 'LoveYour Body Day' inspires men and women alike BY KATUN SWEENEY FEATURES EDITOR Students who were looking for a positive way to spend their time during U-Hour were not disappointed at "Love Your Body Day" on Thursday, Nov. 15. CSUSM featured an event that celebrated every body shape and promoted positive body image, rather than generating the idea that there is only one "ideal" type. "Love Your Body Day is an annual event that is meant to empower women and men. Whether they are on a diet, without a diet, whatever body shape, we want to make them feel good about themselves, and empower them in a positive way," Gender Equity Educator Raihana Siddiq said. Multiple groups and student organizations were involved with the "Love Your Body Day" event, such as Gender Equity, Kamaiayan Alliance, Hope & Wellness Center, LGBTQA and North County Health Services. Photo courtesy of Yelp Mama Kat's brings home the jacon and so much more BY ALEX FRANCO SPORTS EDITOR • Photo by Keandre William-Chambers Each booth was set up with different activities for visitors to partake in and information for them to learn about; ranging from art projects to learning about organizations that promote positive body image on a regular basis to Henna at a booth with the slogan that makeup is fun, but users are more beautiful without it. At one particular booth, visitors could write signs with messages about what they liked about their body rather than what they disliked, which were then displayed to encour- age others to be positive as well. "At our booth, we are doing a Women's Studies project to promote feminism. We want to end 'fat talk' and instead promote a positive body image by letting everyone know all bodies are beautiful," student Julia Chamale said. While every booth had its own theme and design, all of them were working towards the common goal of making CSUSM students feel more comfortable with their bodies and not feel insecure about their appearance . For those looking for a one-stop-shop for everything breakfast, lunch or even brunch-related, look no further than San Marcos' very own Mama Kat's Restaurant and Pie Shop. Mama Kat's is a restaurant with a very welcoming, family-friendly environment. The moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted with warm smiles and welcomes from the wait staff. The décor, complete with the antique pictures and wooden objects on the walls, makes the visitor feel as if they are walking into their grandmother's home for Sunday breakfast. When planning to eat there, it is best to arrive early. Mama Kat's can get very busy, and it may take a while for you to be seated. Mama Kat's offers coffee outside, so you can have a nice, hot cup of java as you wait for your party to be called and seated. But do not get discouraged with the long, wait because the food is worth it. Once you are seated, you are greeted by some of the friendliest servers this side of the Mississippi. They offer to get the table drinks, ranging from freshly brewed coffee to ice cold milk and fruit juices. Mama Kat's offers a variety of breakfast foods and lunch specialties, such as American staples like eggs, bacon, sausage, hash, biscuits, waffles, French toast, pancakes, fried chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and sandwiches; the list goes on and on. The food and desserts are very reasonably and affordably priced, ranging from $6 - $13 for full entrees. Aside from the main dishes, Mama Kat's bakes some of the most delectable pies in town, freshly made in-house for anyone to enjoy by the slice or to have a whole pie to take home to their family. Beware, however, when dining at Mama Kat's with the atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food might make you feel so much at home, you may never want to leave. Mama Kat's is located at 950 West San Marcos Blvd., and is open 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Highly rated professor: Linda Hickman BY KEANDRE W ILLIAM-CHAMBER S C OP Y EDITOR In recent months, Professor Linda Hickman was honored with one of the highest ratings in the nation on the RateMyProfessors website, ranking 20th on their Top Professors for 2011-2012 list. The website is dedicated to the student evaluation of professors they have had and has served as a way to determine the best and worst professors nationwide. The website also uses student evaluations to rate schools. Professor Hickman, a business writing professor here at CSUSM, has been teaching for over 10 years. She called the rating "fantastic," thanking her students for the ratings she has received. "I take what I teach very seriously and I do try to provide a learning environment. I am always interested in learning taking place," Professor Hickman said. "But there's no reason that learning can't take place under a happy, positive, fun environment. Nobody would go to school if it was all drudgery. Life is hard, and I want everyone to succeed." Professor Hickman describes her class as one that is interactive, which gives all her students a chance to participate and provide input to help students see other perspectives. She notes that the college experience is important for the student and that it is her duty to keep her students "safe and interested in learning," because "each individual's future is important. When sitting in her business writing class, it is easy to become enthusiastic about what is being learned. Professor Hickman's voice, both confident and caring, carries well across the classroom. She teaches in a style that allows for entertaining and informative anecdotes, adding a delightful splash of humor to the classroom, She makes use of real-world examples that catch the students' attention and hold it, but she does not ramble. Professor Hickman presents the class-pertinent information in a clear and concise format that makes the information look simple to understand, especially while teaching complicated formats for memos and business letters. Perhaps one of the best aspects of the course is professor-class interaction. Professor Hickman is able to keep the class's attention without even having to command it, result- Graduating soon?

I am a blood recipient. The gift of blood donation has been and always will be a huge factor in my life. I was born with a hereditary blood disorder known as spherocytosis. The disorder results in my body rejecting and destroying my own "red blood cells. This poten-' tially debilitating condition has affected many of my family members, but so has the gift of blood donation. This is what inspires and motivates me to be involved with the blood drive at my school. Blood donations have helped form and unite my family. My grandparents met when my grandmother was ill and in need of a blood transfusion. My grandfather responded to the request for donations to help her. My mother wpuld not be here without blood donations. My life, and my sister's life, were both saved because of blood donations. I knew I had received blood transfusions, but it wasn't until I was recovering from a month-long stay in the hospital that I became very aware of the importance of blood donations. I did not understand where the blood I received came from. My mother took me to a blood drive being held at our local church to see the people who were giving blood and i SESEb presents array of interesting topics or in posters and other to show me what giving blood looked like, Before advertisements around then, giving blood was town and that because something I could not of our story they now visualize.

This recipe is a Thanksgiving classic with a twist, or should I say zest. I have been making my (almost) famous cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving for the past five years. So I am sharing it with you to make for your family dinner table or to take to your friend's house this Thanksgiving. What you'll need: - One bag of cranberries - One and a half cups of sugar - Half a cup of orange, apple O cranberry juice R - The zest of an orange - 3 - 5 quart pot 1.) Dump cranberries into strainer, and under water pick out any mushy or particularly blonde cranberries. 2.) Pour the rinsed cranberries into your pot and add the sugar, juice and zest. (After zesting the orange I usually slit a hole in it and squeeze the juice into the pot for flavor). 3.) Heat on low and let cook for about 20 minutes until it is a deep, thick, saucy mixture. CAUTION: The cranberries pop when hot so keep an eye on them and stir periodically. 4.) Once the cranberries have all popped, smash any left with the stirrer or pull out a potato masher. 5.) Let cool for a bit, then pour inter serving bowl and chill overnight. That's it! Now you have made a beautiful, decadent and quite tasteful dish for your Thanksgiving dinner table.

On Nov. 21, the first trade paperback of the series, "Fairest" and issue 123 of "Fables" will be on comic shpp shelves. "Fairest" is a recent spinoff of Vertigo Comics' ongoing "Fables" books. While "Fables" deals with a cluster of many characters from the classic stories in a modern setting, "Fairest" focuses on the lead female characters in that realm. The volume contains the first two arcs featuring heroine, Sleeps ing Beauty. Once again, she wakes up after being kissed by her true love, but it is uncertain if this particular person truly is her true love or just an accident. Chronologically, the stories take place after issue 107 of "Fables." As f orth e latest addition to the original storyline, readers dive into a strange event concerning main characters Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf. Bill Willingham writes for "Fables" and (with the help of other staff writers) writes "Fairest." Adam Hughes creates the main single-issue covers for "Fairest" while various artists draw the interior pages. See what other familiar characters appear in these series.

Read how each teamed fared A nd Special M ention L ive life s miling: r emembering BY AJ KIRKPATRICK CONTRIBUTOR Students all over CSUSM will mourn the loss of one of the most interesting men to ever walk this campus on Thursday, Nov. 1, the one year anniversary of Michael J. Naylor's passing. Naylor was one of the most influential people I have ever met. He was my best friend and considered him not only a fraternity brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon ( 2 AE), but as a member of my family. He was by far the most well-known person I have M ike N aylor ever met. People just gravitated towards his outgoing personality and his genuine desire for putting other people's needs before his. He was completely selfless, yet always found a way to get whatever he wanted. He had the largest network of friends and if you ever needed anything, he knew someone who could get it for you. He would be distracted by a piece of dust floating by and was by far one of the smartest people I have ever met. Between the hours he spent in Markstein Hall accomplishing his dean's list honors, he still managed to spend plenty of time at 24 Hour Fitness. He was a certified personal trainer and lifted weights at least 5 times a week. He was always willing to learn, yet always knew it all. If you didn't already know him, you would understand how great this individual was within five minutes of talking to him. It's impossible to ever forget the man responsible for the lime green wrist bands that can be seen being worn by people all over campus that read "Live Life Smiling" and the green and pur- Friends of Naylor showing their support with green bracelets to be worn in his remembrance.

Read this issues editorial focusing on radioactive spiders, which is just in time for Halloween. One of the most important measures for students on the Nov. 6 ballot is Proposition 30, Governor Brown's proposal to raise revenue for our K-12 and higher education system.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, 54 percent of Americans over the age of 18 drink coffee every day, while 65 percent drink it with their breakfast. The average American consumes over 300 milligrams of caffeine each day. While caffeine has its perks, it can pose some serious problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, about two to four 9-ounce cups of coffee per day isn't harmful; mâÊmËSm IS® - H B however, when caffeine consumption increases to 500 milligrams a day, the following consequences may occur: Nervousness Rapid heartbeat Muscle tremors Irritability Restlessness It's believed that caffeine is the most consumed drug in the world, which has seen a tenfold in crease in consumption sin c e the 50s.

The [House of Blues] security is very tight so if there are any issues, they are handled immediately. A note to all students is to not drink before the dance, you will not get in the door if you appear intoxicated, " said Gallegos. The parking is tight downtown, but the House of Blues does offer valet parking and there is a parking lot on 5th Ave: There will be no transpor- tation provided by ASIr but there have been student discussions about renting party buses on their own.

If Prop 37 is approved, the law would require that raw and. processed GE foods sold in grocery stores be labeled so consumers are informed of what they are consuming. In 2012, legislative analysts concluded that about 40 - 70 percent of food products at local grocery stores in California contain some GE ingredients. However, the federal law does not specifically require the regulation of GE foods. Nonetheless, the product is labelled as "Genetically Engineered." Currently, no other states require the labeling of GE foods. If Prop 37 passes, the retailer would be held responsible f or complying with the legislation by assuring that their food products are correctly marked. In the past, when calorie content began being included in the label of foods, the prices did not change, which was a concern for families and especially college students. While making the changes in labeling GE ingredients, prices of food will not be affected. There is a growing attitude in favor of reforming American agriculture and regard about where our food comes from and how it was produced. College students have difficulty attempting to save money and buy quality food. It isn't common because healthy food is typically more expensive. However, students and families feel they haVe the right to know what ingredients in their food are natural and what isn't. Proposition 37 informs consumers of the extent of GE they are ingesting.

A N O vote o n this measure means: Genetically engineered foods sold in California would c ontinue not to have specific labeling requirements.

Prop 37 is a deceptive, d eeply flawed f ood I labeling scheme, full of special-interest e xempH H fions a nd loopholes.

What would ths now labels maaii? 5 digit: a^xxxx Starting with 9 5 digit: 8-xxxx Starting with 8 G M O GE B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ Answer: I feel very strongly about GMOs. Prop 3 7 is California's citizens' opportunity to demand to know what they're being fed. Mon santo, the world's leading producer of GMO seed patents and various herbicides and pesticides claims that no human testing is necessary for G MOs-that, essentially, GMOs are just as safe as non-GMO foods and no testing is required. However, Monsanto's own employee cafeteria bans GMOs. Why would they ban GMOs if they were perfectly safe? Q: What do you think codd bo passes? Negative? A: Prop 37 will potentially set the national standard for food labeling in the US. Europe has been labeling GMOs for years; Russia has even turned away GMO corn from the US. The positive change we will see exists in the potential for people to be more aware of the foods they eat. Granted, cancer warnings on cigarette packs don't keep people from smoking-some of the responsibility for nutritional standards does fall on the consumer. Opponents of Prop 37 claim that food prices will rise. There is little evidence to support this claim. Statewide, the expenses would be nominal compared to others. Also, the proposition won't require labeling in restaurants, but this can always be an additional measure adopted in the future. Conventionally grown Contains Pesöckies lh How does labeling GEtagredentson foods i f l w A: Thé 2002 documentary Super Size Me exposed the unhealthful practices of Sodexo, a multinational food service conglomerate that now serves CSUSM students by managing the Big Cat Market, Big Cat Bistro, and Starbucks. The university touted the change as "exciting" in a press release in late August of this year, but I have a hard time getting jazzed about a company whose unsustainable production practices have recently been criticized (http://oracle.newpaltz.edu/ students-raise-concerns- about-sodexo/). Sodexo also has close ties with Pepsi Co., CSUSM's exclusive beverage provider. Should 37 pass, students will see GMO labels on every Pepsi product containing GMO high fructose corn syrup on and off campus. It's going to be quite an eye-opener.

"It was built to create a place on campus that would serve as a gathering place for students, faculty, staff and community members to share in events," Public Information Officer, Margaret Lutz-Chantung said. The McMahan House is a CSUSM event facility that also rents out for weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs and other events. In fact, just a few weeks ago, CSUSM held an informative meeting on the launch of the palliative care program, which included the CSU Chancellor Charles Reed. It was hosted in the Library of the McMahan House, which is not smart-equipped, unlike the Great Room and the Retreat Room that have a TV, Internet, a DVD player, and a sound system. Many events are held at the McMahan House that students are unaware about. Being off campus a bit and hidden by many trees allows CSU officials, among others, to have complete pri-, vacy at their meetings. With • its contemporary look and modern amenities, the McMahan House becomes quite a unique event facility compared to other universities. "We hear a lot of people say when they come to our by: K i s k i M ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ g m ; a nd.Safety A ft v ^ f f i H i f i i l l S S u S M st u d i i it BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS COPY EDITOR campus that it is a beautiful and warm facility. It blurs the line between campus and community and the architecture of it was built to be sustainable and 'green,'" LutzChantung said. The Tower, which can be seen overlooking the Mangrum Track, is actually Mrs. McMahan's favorite part of the complex. Inside is a large circular room with a giant, square, 16-chair table in the center, featuring a sculpture by Syd Harris called "Duplicity." The Tower is also used during weddings as a preparation room for the bride before her wedding. Anyone looking to host an event at the McMahan House can call Event and Conference Services at 760-7508888 or visit www.csusm. edu/events for more j information. Photos by Jessie Gambrell It's time to tackle the question of the differences between the diet of commuter students and those living oncampus. Henry Hall is a sophomore who commutes from San Clemente. He occasionally gets fast food on his way to school when convenient, and buys food from various CSUSM food sites when on campus. His weekend diet consists of store-bought food considering he has more free time to go to the grocery store. Healthy food choices are difficult but still made regardless of the lack of free time. Hall only has time to prepare one meal for himself everyday, with many of his other meals consisting of what can be bought at his convenience. However, with more time available, making his own meals improves his diet, proving to be healthy and less financially consuming. Depending on her schedule, Kia Washington, a freshman who lives on campus, eats fairly healthy. Her food choices are often based on financial ability and available time. It usually costs less for her to get certain foods outside of school time, allowing this choice to become a preference when she has more time to spare. She makes the occasional sacrifices here and there in order to have once-a-week indulgences, but overall, her diet is balanced. Comparing these two people and their diets, it is easy to see how the available time affects their eating habits. The commuter must accommodate according to the setting they are in and work around a schedule in which they must also make time for travelling. Those who live on campus still have the issue of time, but must also tackle the separate issue of the overall stresses of living on campus, especially those who are living on their own for the first time. Both diets have their positives and negatives, but ultimately it is up to the individual to make their own plans for dietary success. �Opinion Editor: Amira El-Khaouli cougarchron.opinion@gmail.com E ditorial: R adioactive s piders B Y A MIRA E L-KHAOULI OPINION EDITOR We strolled up to the science hall. It either was expertly decorated or ready to become blighted and I could easily understand why they had built a new one to replace this site. I didn't want to go in, but try telling that to your friends as they pull you into the direction of certain doom and failure. They had heard stories of experiments gone awry inside. I hadn't been Halloween pranking in a long time, but I was sure that if the lights were out it meant no candy. As the moonlight glistened upon the fog captured among tangled spider-web adornment, I was assured that we would be crazy not to stop by. Holidays are mandatory and that was our motto. We were stocked with the cheapest kind of TP just to be dandy. As we neared, it became apparent that the building was not vacant. A university cart sat just outside the building. We went inside and were met with a pair of tiny eyes hanging as if foe. We neared and laughed as we realized that it was nothing but a spider. Something was off though. * I screamed because it was a black widow, the flashlights detected that it was actually quite large with a thick, red stripe on the side and a triangle pointing out in the shape of a P. Impossible, stated one member of the posse as she grabbed the thing and allowed it to walk upon her body. Moments pass and she screams when the thing bites her. She shakes it off and it implodes upon the floor in a mess of bloody. This time, human eyes peer out of the darkness and we taunt thefigurewith why it is just looking. Get help. This is dangerous. Then the flashlights detect a shift in the atmosphere. The cobwebs shake to reveal more spiders were coming. I grabbed a hand and ran to the front door and shoved a friend into the seat of the golf cart. As I pulled away, it shrank into the size of some thing you buy for children. My friend was still life-size but struggled to escape from the compressed enclosure. Now, spiders seem to have escaped and a new web entangled the universe. As I could see, on looked the onlooking onlooker. I had no choice but to wave my arms as they grew sticky and tangled. I fell to the floor and knew I would never be free. As I gasped for b-b-b breath, the spiders grew near and the onlooker said, "Happy Halloween." N ew campus closure seems poorly researched B Y JULIANA STUMPP G O - A & E EDITOR I also need to make myself dinner, do chores and relax after a long day. I need to give myself a well-deserved break before starting my homework, and that doesn't even start until 9 or 10 p.m. Surely I 'm not the only student experiencing this problem. Where else are students supposed to study? The Clarke has multiple break rooms and a study room for student athletes. The Clarke is also a place where activities, such as InterVarsity andfitnessclasses, take place. These events often get loud and bring in a large crowd. The UVA and Quad offer limited study rooms for the number of students that reside there. The UVA classroom is spacious but students like their privacy when it comes to studying. Some students enjoy listening to music while others enjoy complete silence. Even private rooms in the dorms aren't enough. With three roommates things can get loud and distracting. Moreover, the UVA closes at 11 A few weeks ago, students were asked to leave Markstein Hall after 10 p.m. Markstein is very popular among students at night because of the new technology it provides, as well as numerous study rooms on the third floor. Students are frustrated with the new rule. "I used to go up there every night in order to get my homework done because it is the only place I can focus," sophomore Bryce Heathcock, said. "Now I can't go there after 10 and it's affecting my school work." The library doesn't cut it for students because it has enforced its closing times. On weekdays, the library hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends from 10 a jn. to 5 p.m. Students who BY KEANDRE WILLIAMS-CHAMBERS ably should consider invest- turn to their homes.

Certain colleges are open until 11 p.m. or even 1 a.m. UCSD has various study spots on campus that give students 24/7 access for residents or during finals week. Their campus is very accommodating to their students when it comes to late night studying. CSUSM already has limited study spots as it is. To take away a place where students get their work done is discouraging. Hopefully the student union, coming in the next two years (hopefully), will give students full access to study rooms. Until then, UPD and students should come to an agreement about Markstein Hall hours and give students the freedom to study whenever. W here's the P in B DSM?

Ignell was advised by Improv leader, Aaron Chase Molina-Milbourne to join the Improv team after she expressed wanting to get involved in a theater program. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with Ignell to talk about how improv has been influential in her life. Question: How has being involved in the Improv team affected your life? A: We are all super close; we hang out outside of Im- prov all the time. Mondays and Tuesdays (when the Improv Team meets) are the highlights of my week. They are my second family, I mean I base and plan everything around Improv. I definitely feel like I 'm in it for the long run, I love it. Q: How else are you involved on the campus? A: Well I am changing my major to criminology with a minor in mass media. Plus I just joined (AOII) Alpha Omega Pi. Our mission is to help find the cure for women's arthritis; we just had our "Pie a AOII" event to raise money for our cause. Q: What is your favorite skit you preform? A: Expert Challenge, where you have two teams and a person from one of the teams starts to talk about a subject, then someone from the other team can step forward and call that person's bluff (Sort of like the game Malarky). Q: Do you see yourself doing improv as a career? A: I thought about it as a career path, but it's more of a stress-reliever for me right now. I had done improv in high school, but never standup comedy. I had originally joined this group because I wanted to get involved in the theater. CSUSM Improv's next show is 7 p jn. Friday, Oct. 26 in Arts 111. There will also be an "adult" show afterword at around 8:30 p jn. fans had to say goodbye to the "worlds best boss," Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell). Though it was a very heartwarming and comedic-genius season, the show hasn't been the same. After many replacements took over the Dunder-Mifflin Sabre Branch in Scranton (including guest star Will Ferrell) and James Spader as Dunder-Mifflin's new CEO (after he replaced Kathy Bates), and of course Dwight K. Shrute, the writers decided that Ed Helms' character, Andy Bernard should take over. Though Bernard has changed dramatically since his first season being on The Office, transitioning from Steve Carell is difficult. This season will be the last for The Office after a nine sea- son run. "The Mindy Project," however, is doing extremely well. Kaling, who directs, writes and stars in the show as Dr. Mindy Lahiri, OB/GYN, has won over fans after the release of her autobiographic cal memoir of life, love, and the rules of friendship called "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)" with comedy and class. As Dr. Lahiri battles a social life and being an amazing OB/GYN (a role she created after her mother, who passed away the day her pilot was picked up) and finding "true" love, she runs into a few mishaps along the way. Tune into the Mindy's life at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday nights on FOX and last season of The Office 9 p.m. Thursday nights on NBC.

From there, they selected three names that were submitted to the Governor's office. In May, I traveled to Sacramento and interviewed with Deputy Secretary to Appointments, Victoria Hassid. There was a second round of interviews with the Secretary to Appointments, Mona Pasquil, in July. I received the official phone call that I was appointed on Aug. 24. It has been a long process. I received fetters of recommendation from the Associate Dean of Students, Dr. Toya, and the Executive Director of the Clarke Field House, Sara Quinn. Overall, I think the interviews with the Governor's Office were what impressed them the most. I talked about my own experience, my goals if selected to the Board of Trustees (BOT), the current issues within the BOT and my future goals. Q: What kind of changes do you hope to see/make on our campus and the CSU Chancellor Reed to stay until replacement is found system? A: I hope to get students motivated and educate them so we can mobilize and do something about the issues.

Reed, 70, does not plan to leave office until his replacement is hired, but has expressed à desire to retire pending the completion of various projects under his command, such as the oversight of new college presidents at seven of the 23 colleges in the system. Although he hasn't given a specific reason for retiring, he has admitted to frustration at more T h e political c orne r BY WENDOLYN SERRANO than $1 billion in cuts to state funding for the CSU system over the past four years. Reed was the target of controversy and student and faculty protests this past summer when CSU trustees voted to raise the salary of REED CONTINUED ON 2 . EDITING STAFF Withlthe presidential election coming our way, there has been much debate over what Republicans and Democrats actually believe in. Especially in today's political climate, it is a bit challenging to distinguish the philosophies. College students are particularly affected by federal policies and the stance of the Commanderin-Chief. Though there is a significant difference in tone between the Democratic and JRepjjMiCan platforms, there a rejpl d shared elements betw^abot h parties. In the right corner we have t f e ^ p u b l i c a n Party, which is conservative. Republicans favor a smaller government and are for individual and states' rights. Republicans would also tend to favor more defense spending. They would rather have private charities help those in need rather than federal programs. In the left corner stands the Democratic Party, which is more liberal in its political views. Democrats believe in a larger federal government and attempt to implement taxes to help the less privileged. Most of t}ie economic theory comes f ro m the 20th century philosopher Maynard Keynes. Keynes and Democrats believe that government plays a role in regulating the business cycle. The hot, drug war topic is one in which both the Republicans and Democrats agree on. Even though Democrats are much more tolerant with the use of recreational drugs, both parties support with great enthusiasm the War on Drugs (WOD). Generalizing about particular groups can be a dangerous game since there are exceptions to the rule. However, this is where Republicans and Democrats stand on certain topics. Whether on the left or the right, voting is an important way for one to voice their opinion, as a college student and as an American. Voting takes place on Nov. 6 ,2012 . �2 News Editor: I The Cougar Chronicle, Wednesday cougarchron.news@gmail.com V A R G A S FROM O N I . have seen the cost of tuition go up. Meanwhile, accessibility is a challenge we currently face. Q: How would you describe yourself as a leader? A: I am a leader with a vision and passion, especially when it comes to education. I am a first generation college student and I know what a college degree can do for an individual. Although I am more of an introvert, I am definitely a leader who motivates and inspires others through my actions. I have I'm Mim M comics POLITICHI W A N T T O T AK « A had great mentors who have helped me, guided me and motivated me to continue growing as a leader, and I intend on continuing that. Q: How do you hope to represent all of the students at 23 campuses?

In a statement about his retirement, Reed expressed pride at the growth in the CSU system over the past 14 years and a rise in student achievement. "Throughout my time here, CSU has grown by more THI»/ than 100,000 students and I have been honored to sign more than a million diplomas," Reed said. Reed's contributions to the university system also included the creation and induction of readiness and competency exams for 11th graders in the areas of college-level math and English.

Although there are many challenges, I hope that two years from now when my term expires' with the BOT, the CSU system is better because of students voicing their struggles and addressing the issues of the CSU. Q: What are your plans for the future? A: Go to law school, and use the law degree as a tool for social change. I eventually want to get into the political system and run for office with a focus on issues of education. California has given me so much that I want to return the favor and serve this great state.

Jennifer Milo, the former assistant athletic director to Tom Seitez, was promoted to the top job when he retired last spring. Milo has worked at CSUSM for seven years, starting out as the university's first Softball coach. Before that, she spent three years at San Diego State University as an athletic advisor, helping student athletes maintain a balance between school work and sports. Milo graduated from the University of San Diego, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in liberal arts and college counseling, respectively, was a student athlete and served as assistant coach of the softball team. She spoke recently about her career, her immediate goals and her plans for the future. Question: What types of sports did you play when you were younger? Answer: I playeil soccer and was in competitive swimming. I loved baseball, I was the only girl on the team until I turned 11 then played softball all the way through college. Q: What past experiences do you have that has prepared you to be athletic director? A: I worked my way up the ladder. I started off as being a student athlete to being a coach and working in the of- fice setting. All my past experiences have helped mold me and realize how I would run a department. Q: How do you plan to improve the correlation between the student body attending athletic events? A: [It's] one of my biggest priorities. My plan is to open our arms and let students know they are on our team, too. Having students attend games gives a sense of pride and tradition. A lot of changed to get students involved is important to me. I feel students still don't know we are here and we lack that student voice. We can't Survive in a bubble down here and we have to work with ASI and SLL together. Q: Have you always been interested in a career in college athletics? A: Athletics and sports have always been in my blood. I have five siblings and we have grown up knowing not just the game but what it takes like goal setting, responsibilities and MlLO C O N T I N U E D O N 3.

A : There have been seven teams have been added in seven years. I first got here with two staff members and now there are 35. New facilities like the Softball and baseball fields were built. -There is now $500,000 in scholarships. When athletics started in 1998 there was only golf, cross-country and track and field. After I joined we had our first competitive sport event, soccer, and 800 students came. It was great to see students rally and its something we want to continue to work on . Q: Why did our campus not get accepted to be in the NCAA status? What strategies do you have to reinstate our standing? A: Our NAIA (our governing body) position was put on probation because of recurring violations that went against the NAIA rule book. It is not a matter if we get in it's a matter of when we get in. The NAIA is targeted for smaller schools and with our high demand of campus growth we are ready to move forward. It is a three year transition. Q: What contributions do you expect to bring not only as Athletic Director but also to the campus? A: I am a huge university first advocate. I admire what President Haynes does and leading through the tough budgets. The number one priority is for our student athletes to graduate. I want to get in contact with the Deans' and see how they can help. Q: Have there been previous female directors? If not, how does it feel to be ¿he first at CSUSM? A : Barbra Barshine helped start the athletic department, I ' m not sure if athletic director was a part of her title. I attribute my success to the Title 9 Law which was formed in the 70's that passed to help women get the same teaching jobs that men have, including sports. There are only 4% of female Athletic Directors in the country so I ' m honored to be in that 4% and hopefully increase it.

More than 7.5 million deaths are caused by cardiovascular disease each year. Hypertension, which is considered a blood pressure of greater than 140/90 mm Hg, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts against your arterial walls during circulation.

High blood pressure over time will cause arteries to weaken and rupture, creating an aneurysm, which is life threatening. In sedentary individuals, plaque builds on arterial walls, making it more difficult for blood to pass through, inevitably increasing blood pressure.

Regulating blood pressure is crucial to living a long, healthy life. Prolonged blood pressure can drastically reduce life expectancy and will prove to be a reoccurring issue should it not be corrected.

Fall preview: CSUSM Volleyball takes aim at national prize B Y A LEX FRANCO SPORTS EDITOR The CSUSM women's volleyball team is coming off a stellar 2011 season, where they saw a 29-8 record culminate with an A J J t conference title and a berth in the NAIA national championships. This 2012 team however, is hungry f o r more and i sn' t settling f o r anything less than a national title. This year' s team current- ly sits at 13 - 5, with wins against three nationallyranked opponents. Coach Andrea Leonard attributes the early success with daily hard work and the team's mutual belief in the system and coaching, along with a common trust amongst the team. CSUSM has reaped the benefits of their hard work. The team was recently voted the No. 10 in the NAIA Coaches' Poll, a ranking that eonard said feels "amazing." "It comes at a perfect time for us, because it reinforces the hard work they have put "A national title rs definitely something we could reach and we're getting closer t o it day by d a y .

Leonard cites senior and captain Nichole May as a player to watch this year, along with fellow seniors Lindsey Sappington, Lindsey Mitchell and Brittany Thompson, along with sophomore Taylor Degraaf, who is ranked third in the country in kills this season. "We have incredible seniors' who are not not only great volleyball players but great people and team player with big hearts" Leonard said. Leonard notes that some big matches this coming season will be the games against conference rivals La Sierra on Sept. 26 at home, and No. 2-ranked Concordia on Oct. 9 in Irvine.

Weekly farmers market at C SUS M B Y TATJIANA GVOZDNOVIC STAFF W RITE R With budgeting on all students' minds, the CSUSM farmer's market on Wednesdays and Sundays provides a healthy and moderately priced option to stock up on fresh foods. Questions of healthy food, budget and convenience run through students' minds at one point or another. If you are looking for something that is close to campus and potentially cheaper than Ralph's across the street, check out the local farmer's market. Located in parking lot B directly across from Mangrum Track and Field, the market comes to campus from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays. Because of the farmers market's popularity, the university added a second day in mid-May, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. The farmers market offers a fresh assortment of organic fruits and vegetables, breads, tamales and prepared meals. The market also sells handcrafted jewelry, custom flipflops, plants and occasionally host special events, such as Food Truck Wednesdays (on the last Wednesday of the month during normal market hours). The sellers are very friendly and are always looking for ways to help. The stands are set up in such a way that customers can browse through all of the vendor booths without missing any.

Dorm room sheets should not be one of them. For those of us living in The QUAD or The UVA, finding inexpensive appliances and materials are a must. Unfortunately, not all businesses that market to the college student demographic have our best interest in mind. Residence Hall Linens advertises themselves as a company that promises quality, guaranteed satisfaction, and a stress-free ordering process for $170. While these guarantees entice the consumer into believing that the company's products are both affordable and a musthave addition to our dorm rooms, the truth is not discovered until the package arrives in the mail. The so-called "quality" bedroom and bathroom items turn out to be flimsy, tissuelike materials that may last little past the first year of use, despite the advertised four-year durability guarantee. The bathroom towels are too low-quality to be used for their intended purpose, the bedding so thin that it is not suitable for any season besides summer, and the bed comforter could be mistaken for one of the sheets. The only guarantee that turned out to be true was the ease in which the products could be ordered, but trying to return undesired items is yet another issue for the disappointed customer. Reimbursement can take up to three weeks and the cost of shipping materials back is astronomical. While the company covers the initial shipping, customers have to pay $50 to send the package back. Residence Hall Linens officials acknowledge how much money customers have to waste in order to send packages back to them, but they have done nothing to solve the problem. Instead, they have blamed the high prices on UPS and other mail carriers that charge customers these high fees rather than taking responsibility for their unsatisfactory products. When I spoke with a representative from Residence Hall Linens over the phone, he argued that the company should not be held accountable for people disliking the products they sell. "Companies like Kohl's don't reimburse you the money you spent on gas to drive to their store when you return their products," he said. "If we had to pay the shipping for every person who returned our products, we would go out of business." Despite their claims that their products are superior to others in price and durability, Kohl's offers not only lower prices on all of their bedding and bathroom materials than Residence Hall Linens, but better quality. In my experience ordering from both companies, I spent $50 less on Kohl's products and was able to buy almost twice as many bedroom and bathroom items than I got in the package from Residence Hall Linens. The next time that you contemplate ordering from a catalogue or are promised a deal that sounds too good to be true, do some research before opening your wallet. You may be surprised at the realities of the company you are ordering from. When contacted for interview, Residence Hall Linens' president declined the opportunity to comment.

It would seem we have survived another summer of family vacations, UV burns and dreadful employment options. Take a sigh of relief and get back into gear because school has started and your future awaits. To date, 7 percent of the U.S. population is enrolled in post-secondary education, joining the ranks of the roughly 30 percent who already hold their bachelor's degree or higher. This information is not to be taken lightly. We are the lucky few. College is an important chapter in your life. It's time that truly defines you. A shout-out here belongs to fellow student Cipriano Vargas, who has met everyone and is involved in everything. Cipriano is going to be president one day. Sadly, or thankfully however you want to phrase it —- the CSUSM commu- nity faced a public expulsion last year. I won't embarrass that student further, save to serve as a reminder that some will be left behind. So let's make the most of our college years. You're only lucky with four or more. If I've learned anything from TV, it's that being in college grants you license to act like a rock star. For the love of whoever, just find the right balance between schoolwork and social life. My mama told me to take my time. Don't overload on classes. Work hard and get paid. Making the Dean's List is an amazing reward. Not to put pressure on any activity intended to combat stress and boredom, "Old School" was our generation's "Animal House." The show "Greek" took high school Olympiad projects and English literature to the college level. "Project X" placed high hopes in mind. It is here we learn the best provocateurs are backed by a team of intelligence, not just debauchery. Of course, parties are a part of college life. Movies like "Old School" and "Project X" reflect "Animal House" rebellion. "Greek" took high school Olympiad projects and English literature to the college level. Don't put this kind of pressure on an activity intended to relieve stress and boredom because the best rebellious activities are also intelligent. Need an invite? Don't waste the opportunity to make new friends. Every club, sport and fraternity are fair game and all will welcome you. Most of the professors at CSUSM genuinely care about you and want to know your name and your character. Go to office hours, stay after class, talk to them. Ask about the material, their life experience, etc. In a shameless plea for participation, I would like to point out that the Opinions section of The Cougar Chronicle is open to student contributions as a forum for topic discussion.

Writer and director Dine&h D'Souza, an Indian American political commentator, compares himself to U.S. President Barack Obama. Because they had many things in common, I presumed this was not just going to be a " my-word-against-yours " bashing sort of film. D'Souza went to several countries that were featured in Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," which was also quoted throughout the movie. He interviewed many people who knew President Obama firsthand, as well as experts from a variety of fields. You may know that President Obama's father, Barack Sr., was born and raised in Kenya, though he moved to Hawaii where he met his wife Ann. In the film, D'Souza explained something that I had never known before, President Obama's father, who was a very influential figure in his life, brought "anti-colonialism" with him. I thought to myself, "what the heck is anti-colonialism?" I had never heard of this before. So I did a little bit of research and came to find that it means to be against the settlement of one nation within a dependent nation, usually to gain con- ^ ^ExercisevrsvN ^ Chave, A PC ^ trol over of their resources. Our country, which began with colonialism, is one of the greatest nations in the world. With this being said I can only wonder why a president of the United States, would aspire to fulfill his father's views in an already established, modern and progressive country? The movie is very thoughtprovoking. This movie included aspects of world and American history and introduced new and different views. So please, don't just take my word for it, go out and see this movie for yourself. To learn more about the "2016: Obama's Nation" movie visit: http://2016themovie .com/.

Thanks to the series ,CSUSM's halls have been graced with world-renowned musicians, internationally acclaimed dancers, famous poets, directors and authors. Over the summer the Arts & Lectures planning committee decided that something needed to be done in order to ensure that the students who were required to attend the on-campus events could, in fact, get in. In previous years, there were many instances where faculty, staff, community members and even students were turned away due to a lack of seating. "Tickets are a new thing, before we couldn't really plan ahead. By doing this (having mandatory tickets) we are streamlining the process. And yes it is going to be a permanent thing, for every event you are required to have a ticket," said Mari- lyn Huerta, of the Events and Conference Services. The series has been growing in popularity and the committee has had to deal with the growing attendance. "Even if requesting tickets online is a little more complicated than just showing up for a talk, I think it shows how far we have come as a university. I celebrate what the change signals about the richness of life on our campus," Professor Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwail said. "We've had questions about how to do it since you must get it online. Right now, tickets are open for students only. Students, faculty, and staff must bring their CSUSM ID to be admitted into the event," Huerta said.

Over the summer, funnyman Andy Samberg also announced he'd leave the show. Samberg boosted the series' online presence with "Digital Shorts," a series of comic videos he co-created with his college friends Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. Popular shorts include " I' m on A Boat" and "Laser Cats:" Often the weekly guest hosts would be featured in the videos. Popular celebrity cameos included Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Jonah Hill, T-Pain, Jon Hamm and other SNL cast members. Four-year castmate Abby Elliot also left the show. Her impersonations included Khloe Kardashian-Odum, Angelina Jolie, Zooey Deschanel, Ke$ha and many more. With two legendary cast members leaving thè show, it's not clear who will rein next as SNL's funny girl and who will give the show a different comedic vibe.

A fter weeks o f discussing the matter? i t looks as though Syria, Russia and the USA have reached an agreement regarding Syria's chemical weapons. Regardless, this seems t o have eased l ittle tension. The main idea o f the deal, according to President Barack Obama, was simple and really straightforward: t o " mov[e] Syria's chemical weapons under international c ontrol so t hat they may ultimately be destroyed." Anyone w ho has, been keeping tabs on t he news knows w hat Syria has been up t o w ith its civil w ar and chemical weapons. Syrian president Bashar al-Assad headed a shocking chemical weapons attack on Syrian rebels, killing 1,429 people.

" Moscow is n ot even complying w ith a commitment t o eliminate its o wn chemical weapons," Barrasso said.

Participants w ere given a gratitude questionnaire t hat measured how much they considered life and t heir personal situation a blessing. They were also given a health survey t hat measured t heir psychological and physical health. They were examined f or t heir attitudes on healthy activities, in regards t o n utrition, exercise, personal well-being, social well-being and drug use. Participants were also interviewed on t heir w illingness t o seek medical help f or health concerns using hypothetical case scenarios. In addition, t heir person- alities were taken into consideration, rating them on levels of extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroti-cism and openness. The researchers cite previous studies, including how conscientiousness and optimism have been linked t o better health, and b etter behaviors that p romote health. "Grateful individuals tend t o r eport greater vitality and agency, along w ith less anxiety. In addition, gratitude is linked t o traits indicative o f better physical health, including conscientiousness, emotional stability and optimism," the r eport said. Previous studies have utilized regular diaries in which participants w rite down something they are thankful for, and review i t at a later time. Various bloggers and w riters have encouraged similar ideas, either daily o r weekly. But why should CSUSM students really even care about being more optimistic o r grateful? Many could argue t hat doing so makes no major impact on themselves. However, i t is suggested t hat thoughtful gestures, the giving of one's resources o r volunteering t ime have a positive affect on the giver. Showing gratitude could include making small unexpected changes, such as w riting a thank you note t o someone, tipping m ore o r even just treating, a friend t o lunch o r coffee. In a June article by The Harvard Business Review entitled H ow Money A ctually Buys Happiness, Elizabeth Dunn and Michael N orton cited multiple moneywise parties, such as Google and W arren Buffet. They, and Buffet, encouraged t o "give as a way t o enhance one's emotional well-being." "Spending even a few dollars on someone else can trigger a boost in happiness. In one study, w e found t hat asking people t o spend as l ittle as $5 on someone else over the course o f a day made t hem happier at t he end o f that day than people w ho spent t he $5 on themselves," Dunn and N orton said.

She talked about her career in this interview. Q: W hat is your educational background? A : B.A. in Religious Studies from Occidental College M A in Religion and Society from Princeton Seminary Ph.D. in A nthropology and Folklore Studies f rom University of Texas, A ustin Q: How did you decide your field of study? A : I was attracted t o t he study of f olklore because o f its focus on everyday expressive behavior and cultural traditions. Rather than formal, institutional culture and systems of knowledge, folklore is t he vernacular, informal and often unrecognized artistic and expressive behavior t hat people use t o convey t heir sense o f identity and t heir ideas about t he w orld around them. Q: Is there anything you are currently researching? A : Yes, IVe been w orking w ith a wonderful group o f very motivated and very smart students on t he folklore and culture o f H arry Potter. W e dedicated all last spring t o doing an in-depth analysis o f t he many aspects o f J.K. Rowling's magical w orld, and they are w orking w ith me this semester t o develop a new course on H arry Potter, w hich w ill be offered f or t he f irst t ime in Spring 2014. Professor Linda Pershing will be teaching a class on Harry Potter in the springs Photo by Amanda Lenox Q: How did you end up at CSUSM? A s I grew up in Los Angeles and feel most at home in California. I was a faculty member at t he State University o f N ew York (SUNY) Albany f or nine years, but I wanted t o move back t o California t o be closer t o my family. In 2001,1 was hired as t he f irst tenure-line faculty member in Women's Studies. Q: W hat classes do you usually teach? A : I teach a variety o f interdisciplinary courses (ID) about t he politics o f culture. For example, this semester I'm teaching a course on deconstructing Disney Animated Films. I also teach courses about education as social transformation, social change movements, f ilm and media, and I'll be teaching t he new course on H arry Potter f olklore and culture in t he spring. Q: W hat do you like about teaching? A : I made t he decision t o pursue a Ph.D. and become a university professor because I love w orking w ith students and I love t o teach. For me, education is t he key t o changing t he w orld and making i t a b etter place, one in which all people are valued and protected. Much o f my w ork focuses on social justice, and all my teaching includes a feminist and social justice perspective. Q: W hat do you hope students learn from taking your classes? A : First, I w ant students to learn t o ask t he deep and often t roubling questions about social structures and hierarchies o f privilege and power. Critical thinking skills are central t o my courses. I also w ork w ith students t o develop t heir sense o f curiosity and self-worth, and t heir determination t o give back t o t he community.

I believe t hat in o rder t o go abroad, students s hould be aware t hat i t takes a l ittle m ore e ffort t han meets t he eye. Students need t o prepare t hemselves f or t he a djustment o f living in a n ew c ountry. T he process o f applying isn't as t edious as students may presume. As l ong as y ou t urn in all t he r equired p aperwork, y ou are f ree t o begin y our p reparation t o live abroad. Many students may also be c oncerned a bout t he p rice o f studying abroad, assuming i t is v ery expensive. In reality, i t is n ot as bad as i t seems. I was relieved t o f ind o ut t hat t he p rojected expenses w ere a ccurate w ith my stay a broad in Valladolid, Spain. F or t hose receiving FAFSA, y ou are f ortunate enough t o g et some o f y our expenses covered. T here are many o ther f inancial aid o pportunities if y ou are lacking funds. T he G lobal Education O ffice o ffers a v ariety o f scholarships t o apply f or, and t here is always t he o ption o f accepting subsidized loans if necessary. T he amazing t hing a bout s tudying in Spain is t hat i t is a ffordable. H owever, s tudents need t o learn h ow t o manage t heir bank acscount and budget. Students should save t heir m oney f or traveling w ith f riends o n t he weekends. A merican students also have an advantage, being t hat t hey are a native English speaker. T here are many l ocals w illing t o pay t o have English speakers t utor t hem in t he evenings, and t hat e xtra cash can be helpful. T he u niversity system in Europe is v ery d ifferent f rom t he A merican educational system. Spanish professors d on't assign w eekly h omew o r k assignments, t ake r oll call, c ount anything as p articipation o r give m idterms. Students are f ree f rom h omew o r k t he e ntire semester. A lthough t his m ight seem like heaven f or many, i t d oesn't really feel like heaven in t he last weeks leading u p t o t he final exam. T he professors rely solely o n t he student's final exam grade, as t hey have n othing else t o base t heir scores o ff o f. Talk a bout pressure. T he way t hey teach is different as w ell. Professors r arely use PowerPoints o r a w hiteboard t o help w ith t heir lessons. T hey o nly give lectures. Spanish students also have a d ifferent m ethod o f w riting notes. Instead o f b ullet p oints o r summaries o f t he lectures, t hey w rite t he e ntire lecture o ut, w ord by w ord f rom w hat t he p rofessor says. T here really is n othing similar a bout CSUSM and t he u niversity I a ttended in Spain. W e are a ccustomed t o having o ur u niversity l ocated o n t he same p roperty. In Spain, t he u niversity is d ivided i nto buildings according t o t he area o f study and t hey are called faculties. These faculties are dispersed a round t he city. Students w on't see themselves going t o t he same faculty as a business m ajor if t hey are studying languages. A lthough t his may seem strange, in r eality i t is beneficial. Students g et t o k now e veryone in t heir faculty and i t gives t hem t he o pportunity t o m eet local Spanish students in a t ightnit e nvironment. T he cafeteria ladies even seem t o enjoy t he presence o f s tudents' familiar faces. A lthough all t his i nformation m ight seem like a t urnoff, believe m e w hen I say I w ould d o i t all o ver again. Maria Lopez, a f ellow CSUSM s tudent, r ecent r eturnee, as w ell as my c ompanion and r oommate in Spain, also r eally enjoyed h er e xperience. " I absolutely loved i t, I feel t hat as students w e s hould take e very o pportunity t hat w e have t o g row as i ndividuals and studying abroad is o ne o f t hem," Lopez said. Studying and living in a d ifferent c ountry is such an u nforgettable and impacting e xperience. T he p eople o ne meets, t he places o ne sees and t he o verall e nvironment is s omething t hat w ill become a p art o f t hat p erson forever.

The full use of the facilities and equipment, however, depends on a bond issue that is scheduled for the upcoming election. The five sites include: • The students will move into the Academic Core next fall, utilizing the lab complex and lecture hall for classroom space. These two buildings can accommodate 600 f ull time equivalent students, according the original projections. Currently, however, CSUSM has 853 FTE students, according to a Feb. 11 Admissions and Records report • Two other structures on campus, the featured Craven Hall and the commons building, will not be completed for the fall opening, and not equipped until spring semester of 1993; thus, the Los Vallecitos temporary campus, a site used to house all university's operations the first year- will remain open with administrative and support services. • The science facility will continue to be used this fall. This o ffeampus lab complex is located on Stone Drive, off Los Posas Drive about a mile from the Los Vallecitos campus. • The newly acquired Foundation Building, on Carmel Road east of the permanent campus, will house auxiliary services and the majority of the library collection. The building, already being occupied by some staff members, will be fully staffed by the end of Spring Break. • The fifth building will be the Facility Services Building, formerly referred to as the Physical P lant Being the first structure completed on the permanent campus, it was filled last week with several permanent and temporary departments. " It's going to be hectic at f irst There's no question about that," said Dr. Larry Cohen, founding faculty in science. Cohen, along with other campus officials, think the logistics of the multiple sites can be solved to minimize the impact on students, but a lot of the planning is based on funds the campus does not have. Dr. Richard Rush, CSUSM executive vice president, said those funds would come from a bond issue scheduled for this June's elections. The bond for educational institutions in California would generate $900 million for the UC, CSU and community college systems. CSUSM would receive $8-9 million of that, with $6.4 million slated for equipping the five sites. "The bond issue carries our equipment money," Rush said. The bond issue comes on the heels of A Cal State San Marcos employee searches for her computer as staff members set up at the Facility Service Building.

Fund-raising at its highest The 20 CSU campuses raised a record-high $96.4 million in private gifts in 1990-91, according to the annual report of voluntary support presented to the board. The nearly $97 million presented a 9 percent increase for the $88 million raised in 1989-90; 15 campuses showed an increase this past year. In a five-year span from 1986, the CSU has increased its private funding by a third, going from $61.8 million to $96.4 million. Correction Commencement for the first graduating seniors will be May 23, not March 23 as previously published in Pioneer. Thefts commonplace at construction sites L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With the growing permanent campus construction project off Twin Oaks Valley Road, Cal State San Marcos faces a theft problem that is not shared by most other universities. The 305-acre site contains materials that are easily accessible and salvaged by would-be burglars. Because of the project's size, thieves have greater entry access to the isolated site. "It is fairly common to have construction site burglaries," said Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. Electrical switching gear, tools and copper wiring are among the items that have been lifted from the site in recent months. Complete electrical generators have also been taken from the location. Terry Loose, project superintendent for the Phase I Academic Core, estimated that between $10,000 and $12,000of salvageable materials have already been taken from the construction p roject Since several contractors have simultaneous projects in progress at the site, estimating the cost of losses is d ifficult Both Loose and Amado pointed out that stolen materials can be sal- vaged at only a fraction of their replacement costs. "Some of the copper wiring stolen probably represents a potential few hundred dollars in selling, but cost the contractor thousands," Amado said. Copper wiring has actually been stripped from the buildings after it was installed. Amado said that these thefts have caused considerable inconveniences but have not compromised t he p roject's t ight completion deadPART TWO line. IN A SERIES W hile t he project is under construction, replacement costs foir^ ¿ÎeÎM materials are absorbed by the contractors or their insurance companies and not by the university. Once a building is completed, the financial burden shifts to the state. Currently, only two buildings have been completed. In order to curtail thefts at the site, Ninteman, the general contractor for the Academic Core, and Bodell Construction, general contractor for Craven Hall, have agreed to jointly fund security guards for the unfinished buildings at the location. mjm "We have our own security that covers all but the working hours at the site," Loose said. Buildings that have already been completed, such as the Physical Plant and Maintenance Facility, are patrolled by state-funded security. Amado said that since security agencies began patrolling in November, he hasn't heard of any on-site thefts. Jerry Brooks, a local landscaping subcontractor, said that most construction projects he has worked with experience some degree of theft. Copper wiring, said Brooks, is the most easily lifted item from sites. He said larger items, such as tractors and heavy moving equipment, are seldom stolen. For the most part, thieves grab what is most accessible and easily loaded into pick-up trucks. Brooks said that most arrested construction site burglars are either transients or those of lower income status. The typical construction-site thief looks only for items that will bring a few dollars in material value. Copperfromwiring, f or instance, can be melted down and pawned easily. "The recession is not necessarily to blame for these kinds of thefts," Loose said. "Construction-site thefts are just something to be expected." Yearbook seeking sponsors for club pages JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER In an attempt to obtain funding for the second edition of Tukut, the yearbook staff is seeking businesses to sponsor certain pages in the annual. "The clubs and organizations that are now appearing on campus will have the opportunity to chose businesses and organizations to sponsor their page in the yearbook," reads the proposal. The sponsorship, per page, would cost businesses $600. Members of the yearbook staff approached the campus clubs at Friday's Inter Club Council meeting asking for a list of business references the clubs would like to sponsor their page. The staff is asking for references so Tukut w on't " step on anyone's toes." "There are some clubs and corporations that are appropriate matches," said Barbara Pender, Tukut editor. The requested references assure the matched business is acceptable to the clubs. "This gives them (the clubs) an opportunity to have their voice in it," said Karen Whitfield, a Tukut sales member. The cost to businesses would be $600 per club, a non-negotiable price. That price would pay for the one page as well as offset the price of other sections within the yearbook. Pender said Tukut "went in the hole" with the first yearbook edition. The books, costing $44 to produce, sold for $25 last semester and are currently on sale in the bookstore for $35. "This is just one way to go after one avenue of money," Whitfield said. " It's just making it more school specific." "We're just trying to create some ^ideas to offset the $14,000," said Pender. She said $14,000 is needed to produce this year's annual and still keep the cost to the students at the same price. "The university still wants to sell it at $25," Pender said. The clubs are not responsible for obtaining their own sponsors, just supplying a list of three references. The deadline for the list is March 6. "If a club does get sponsor, then they 're guaranteed a full page," Whitfield said. If the club does not have a sponsor, then "we cannot guarantee them a full page," she said. " I can't make assurance one way or the other. There'sno possible way," Whitfield said. There is a possibility that all clubs will have full pages, regardless of sponsors. That fact depends on the number of clubs, size of the yearbook, other possible funding and several other variables. Regardless of sponsors or space, SEE T UKUT /PAGE 4 �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 3,1992 NEWS Fee increase won't affect aid students Despite a proposed 40 percent increase in tuition next year at Cal State San Marcos, students in need of financial assistance for university fees can still find funding for their education. According to Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy students can still get full funding for their education at the university, despite the proposed 40 percent increase in tuition. "The Chancellor insisted that money be set aside for financial aid (should a fee increase be implemented)," Phillips said. "Dollar for dollar it would be the same as the fee increase." Phillips estimated that about 300 students currently attending CSUSM receive some sort of financial aid. Around 50 of those are getting scholarships, 258 currently receive State University Grants, while 130 are accruing money from the Stafford Loan. Phillips said students frequently utilize one or more of these financial sources to fund their education. "I hope no student makes the decision that he/shecan't attend CSUSM with the fee increase," Phillips said. "In the worst case students can get pretty good loans with low interest fates from banks." Phillips said there is still uncertainty as to whether or not the fee will be implemented. Some legislators expressed opposition to the proposal after student lobbying groups rallied at the state capital. CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz, however, is encouraging the legislature to pass the increase. The tuition increase would make more classes available for students with impacted programs. The CSU needs legislative approval for any fee increase exceeding 10 percent. T UKUT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Pender said all clubs will be represented in Tukut. "Everybody is going to be in the book," Pender said. "There is no way weare going to put out abook without everyone in it." In addition to club sponsors, the Associated Students, Pioneer and the Tukut itself will seek sponsors for their pages. Pender said these groups will probably have two pages each.

In fact, it seems to be increasing in its incidence, Asthma,5 which is characterized by episodes of breathlessness and wheezing, is estimated to affect one in 20 Americans and one in 10 children. The alarming news is that deaths, although rare, have doubled in recent years. A recent study in the prestigious 'New England Journal of Medicine ' attempts to determine if commonly prescribed asthma medications may contribute to this increase risk of fatal or near-fatal episodes of asthma. The study found that the more heavily a person relied on certain inhaled medications the greater theriskof their dying of asthma or of suffering a near-fatal episode. I feel the necessity to write about this study because I frequently prescribe these medications and I have already had a few patients using these medications ask me is their continued use is safe. As in most areas of medicine nothing is black or white. First of all, one of the medications in this study is not used in the United States and is the medication that .was associated with the greatest risk. i lMiJj . ( i o V1 Secondly; thè study doesn't clearly identify the severity of asthma in the control group. They could have been less severe to begin with. Finally, it is based on data from health insurance files in Canada not on examination of patients. Enough of the science.

If their asthma worsens the natural response is to use their inhalers more often, rather than seek attention to treat the underlying condition which is making their wheezing worse. Most experts agrees that when used as prescribed, these are safe, medications. If using to the prescribed amount doesn't control the episode, then other medications and treatment is necessary. Patients cannot always rely solely of either Proventil of Ventolin. However, if this study and its results cause patients to stop using these medications, they could get into serious trouble. I feel the facts are clear. Inhaled medications like Proventil or Ventolin are $afe whpn used in the prescribed amount, but if that doesn't control the problem,patients need to seek appropriate medical attention. If you have concerns or questions regarding this and need to be further informed about your are for asthma, see your health care provider or Student Health Services.

A half year later the campus is still without a method for gathering waste products that can be reused rather than dumped in local overflowing landfills. In a university which hopes to build a sense of awareness on a global level, the lack of campus bins for recyclables is deplorable. O UR V IEWS STAFF Unspayed cat holds owner captive For the past few months I had been meaning to spay the stupid c at Unfortunately, due to baby blues, breaking news and school dues I had placed the task far down on my list of priorities. Last Tuesday night I paid the price. Upon arriving home from work at midnight I discovered, much to my dismay, that I had been locked out of my house. Inside my wife slept in undisturbed slumber as I pounded frantically on the door. I phoned several times hoping to wake her, but the ringer had been switched off. I settled down at the top of the stairs with the hopes that soon my wife would awaken, notice my absence, listen to the pleading phone messages and open the door for me, when suddenly the cat appeared at the bottom of the stairs. Usually the animal possesses a quiet demeanor of domestication and seldom likes to prowl the grounds at night. But tonight it roamed like a howling tiling possessed. At once I realized the gravity of the situation. The cat was in heat I envisioned a hoard of gobbling, pooping, clawing kittens overrunning my happy home leaving in their wake a tattered trail of torn carpet and hairballs. I looked out into the apartment grounds and, to my horror, spied every male cat within a ten mile radius courting my feminine feline. With lightening speed I darted down the stairs, catching the cat before she was violated. I carried the mewling thing up the stairs and used my body as a shield between her and the desperate mob of males. For the next four and a half hours I was a prisoner. The cat sat on its haunches unblinking, ready to pounce on the first opportunity to slip by my guard. My original plan entailed the vigorousritualof beating on the door with the hopes that I could possibly awaken the sleeping spouse, however the cat positioned herselffirmlyon the doorstep. I knew that any move toward the door would afford the animal the opportunity of escape. So I s at L ARRY B OISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF When 2 a .m. rolled around I was panged with desperate hunger. The reptilian core of my brain began to overtake my consciousness. "Eat the cat," it urged. "Beat it on the head with your coffee mug and cook it with your cigarette lighter." I licked my chops and the cat settled down in fear. By 3 a.iti. the hoard of feline suitors down below had reached epic numbers, calling out in multiphonic cacophony. My toes began to freeze solid from the cool night air and a lack of movement. The reptilian brain had a remedy for the situation. "Kill the cat," it said. "Beat it over the head with your coffee mug and make fur booties out of it." When 4 a.m. arrived several of the suitors felt it advantageous to creep up the stairs toward awaiting romance. I threw the coffee mug at them hoping to scare the hoard away. The ploy worked for about 30 minutes. At 4:30 a.m. I knew I was beaten. My feet had frozen solid. The numbing coldness filled my entire body. I felt I would die if I did not move. Suddenly the prospect of a score of pouncing kittens seemed acceptable. I clambered to my feet and shuffled down the stairs. The cat sprang with lightening speed past me into the yard. I walked about ten feet from the bottom of the stairs when my front door opened. The next day I unhesitatingly brought the cat in to be spayed. The veterinarian gave me a brief lecture on waiting so long to get the animal fixed. Hundreds upon thousands of unwanted animals are born each year to domestic animals that have not been fixed, he said. I knew that all too well*. The night before they were all in my yard.

' The plan is to make the system user-friendly," said chair of the Recycling Committee Steffanie Taylor. The A.S., due to limited space, had trouble deciding What type of containers to use for recycling. Cardboard boxes are unsightly while plastic receptacles are stolen too frequently. But after six months with still no recycling program, who really cares what type of bins are used. All that matters is that they are in place. Whether a recycling bin is constructed of paper or plastic does not affect its user-friendliness. Californians are now almost habitual recyclers when it is convenient. Recent statistics indicate that Californians recycle 70 percent of their aluminum and glass receptacles. One major retailer in Escondidofillstwo boxes each day with cans used by its employees. It doesn't need fancy plastic or aesthetically appealing receptacles to encourage recycling. It simply asks its employees to take the boxes to a local recycling center. The employees gladly take the cans to the center and pocket the money received from them. With the growing numbers of clubs and organizations on campus, such a tactic is a viable one. Each week a different organization can shoulder the responsibility of bringing recyclables to a recycling center. The organization that does so will then have a sizable amount of change to use for its cause. In California, one soda pop can or bottle yields two cents. If each student and staff member were to toss one soda can in a bin each day, the yield for the recycler would amount to $24. One week of recycling would yield almost $100. Most students at CSUSM are eager to participate in a recycling program if one exists. The users are already friendly if given the chance. If a viable recycling program does not commence, then CSUSM will appear to be encouraging community apathy. Students should urge members of the A.S. Council to place recycling bins of any kind in convenient locations in each building of campus If the bins happen to be an eyesore, just remember how unsightly a stuffed landfill can be. �The Free Beach Act seeks to abolish discriminatory coastal parking fees PIONEER Cal State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young Advertising Director: Karen Whitfield Entertainment Editor: Debbie Duffy Photo Editor: Kathy Sullivan STAFF WRITERS: Sheila Cosgrove, Kimberly Courtney, David Hatch, Elaine Whaley CONTRIBUTORS: Richard Beeth, Ken Baurmeister, Dr. JoelGrinolds, Regina John PHOTOGRAPHY: Stacey Smith CARTOONIST: Daniel Hernandez Copyright © 1992, by P IONEER.

With this opening line from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," I embarked on the thrilling sea adventure of finding the California Grey Whale. With their immense size, grace and power, sighting a whale on the open sea seemed like the opportunity for genuine adventure. I arrived at Helgren's Sport Fishing in Oceanside to begin my trek. The boat, a 60-foot charter with the name Oceanside 95, lay in waiting at its mooring. Also in waiting were about a gazillion fourth graders from a Fallbrook elementary school. Suddenly the prospect of adventure dimmed. We boarded the boat and putted off toward the open sea, and hopefully a pod or two of whales. Through March, about 20,000 California Grey Whales migrate from the Bering Sea to Baja California to calf their young. After they give birth the whales then head north again on approximately the same route. Whale-watchers by the thousands spend $10 per person for an opportunity to spy the leviathans en-route to their destination. We came upon a buoy crowded with Sea Lions. The animals, which look like large seals, are deceivingly innocent looking. Sea Lions have dangerously sharp teeth and do not especially like to be bothered. The male Sea Lions take 5060 mates and generally travel in harems. After about 20 minutes of heading out toward sea, our boat came upon a school of porpoises. Porpoises are actually small toothed whales which travel m large schools along the coast searching for food. The young porpoises are sheltered in the middle of the school for protective purposes.

They range in size from the Harbor Porpoise, at 6 feet and 160 pounds, to the Blue Whales, the largest animal that has ever lived, at over 100 feet and 100plus tons. Although whales live in the water, they are very different from fish. Generally, whales are larger, have horizontal tails that move up and down when they swim, and are mammals. At one time their ancestors probably lived on land, and some 65 million years ago, began to return to the water. While on land, they evolved into animals similar to man in I many ways. The whale has lungs instead of gills and must surface to breathe; the young are born live and are nursed by milk that is at least 40 percent butterfat (compared to 2 percent for humans), at the rate of about 200 Two school kids use binoculars to aid glasses in a single squirt. Cetaceans are divided into two groups - the toothed whales, or Odontoceti, which feed primarily on squid and fish and include the Sperm Whale and all dolphins and porpoises: and the baleen whales, or Mysticeti called whalebone, consists of fringed, homy plates hanging from the upper jaw.

The rest of the show, although living up to the reputation of presenting great animated shorts, break the molds of precedent with the totally unexpected. Through the end of April, the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla presents Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation.

Tickets are CONTINUED/NEXT P AGE Roma's Pizzeria serves great food with friendly family environment Have you evo* visited a restaurant where you feel like you are entering a family reunion and you're the special guest? R oma's Pizzeria and Deli at 825 Williamston, in Vista, perfectly creates such an atmosphere. Owned by Rose and Jim Riley for almost 12 years, Roma's has become a landmark, a "town gathering area," in Vista. Everyone who is anyone in North County comes to Roma's and "everyone knows everyone." Some regular patrons have even placed their own nameplates firmly within their favorite booths because they frequent the restaurant so often. Other regulars, as soon as they enter the pizzeria, obtain immediate service because the restaurant personnel knows exactly what they will order. One customer orders spaghetti so often, that he has been affectionately nicknamed "the spaghetti man." Cindy Chovitz, the daughter of the owners, works as the waitress and general conversationalist in the restaurant. She puts in about 30 hours at R oma's each week because she loves being there. Chovitz is also a student in Cal ©OLLEGIATE (QjOUBMET BY D E B B I E DUFFY State San Marcos' credential program. One of Roma's regular customers is a principal at alocal school, and Chovitz didn't know it until she began talking to him about the credential program. For her, Roma's presents an opportunity to network in her future j ob market. Chovitz says that Roma's "is like Cheers" because people feel comfortable at the pizzeria; they "hop from table to table to talk to each other." People from all walks of life visit Roma's because, for them, the restaurant is like one big happy family. The food is superb enough to entice the customers back again and again to the restaurant. The menu ranges from spaghetti, to lasagne, to ravioli, to tortellini. Customers can order either a dinner (complete with soup or salad and garlic bread) or ala carte (also with garlic bread). Meals range from $5 to $9, while ala carte prices range from $4 to $8. The pizzas can be ordered with a multitude of toppings in sizes small ($5.60 to $9.25), medium ($6.6- to $11.50), and large ($8.60 to $13). There is a children's menu, daily specials and hot or cold deli sandwiches. The spaghetti and meatballs, a personal favorite, is cooked to perfection and is amply ladled with delectable sauce and hearty meatballs. At $4.75, it is a belly-busting meal deal. For the same ¡»ice, ravioli can b e substituted for meatballs. The tiny meat-stuffed pockets ofpastaperfectly compliment the spaghetti. The pizza combinations are remarkably savory. The thin-crusted favorite is ladled with tangy sauce, piled with palatable ingredients, and smothered with an abundance of cheese. R oma's has found its own little corner of pizza heaven. Overall, the atmosphere at R oma's will pull you in, but the food will keep you coming back for more. Debbie Duffy is Entertainment Editor for Pioneer.

Icouldn'tactually seea whale j ust a blow spout of water now and then, but I knew its exact location from the ring of boats that encircled the whale like a giant target. Even though I am a native of California, that was the first time I had ever driven out to the Point Loma Peninsula. On one hand, it is nice to have discovered something so beautiful in an area where I have lived for over 40 years, but on the other hand it seems sad that I deprived myself of this experience for so long. The Santa Ana conditions we have experienced this week not only provided a great excuse for a return visit they were absolutely perfect for enjoying the panoramic views. I particularly like the view from the Visitor Center and the Cabrillo Monument Perched on top of a ridge, both areas look over the harbor using downtown San Diego as a backdrop. One can normally see navy ships, bulging cargo barges, jets landing at Lindberg field, and delicate sailing ships zig-zagging through the bay.

The letter is to advise that a $10 Associated Student fee increase be sent to student body vote. Arevised 1997 and 1998 budgets were also sent for Stacy's approval. State law requires that referendums be posted 10 working days before elections. Prior to posting measure must be approved by the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Stacy. As Stacy is in Saint Louis, and won't return until Friday, A.S. was unable to get his approval within the 10 working days. A.S. board members scrambled to postponed elections for the second time this Spring, hoping to give Stacy time to approve the measure. Student Activities Adviser Gezai Berhane and Acting A.S. Executive Director Francine Martinez turned them down. "The main reason (for postponing elections) was to include this student fee increase.

Track funding faces deadline Initial $300,000 grant will be lost in 10 months if not matched By Gail Butler Pride Staff Writer The campus must match a $200,000 grant funding a proposed Olympic-class track and soccer Field dollar for dollar in the next 22 months, or risk losing it. Project fund-raiser A1 Castle and his public affairs office, PA, are out among the chattering classes in search of a major donor to supply the remaining $800,000 to complete the project. "These people have the contacts and the clout to bring in major corporate donors such as Nike," Castle said. The track and soccer field planned is available for naming to the highest contributor, much like Jack Murphy stadium's deal with QualComm Inc. The initial $200,000 challenge grant required that the funds be matched within two years. "We are about 10 months into that time with $25,000 cash on hand," said Castle. Subcontractors have also made in-kind donations of materials that count toward the goal but PA has yet to place values on them. "Gifts of any size are also sought from the community in the form of cash," he continued. "We hope that like our anonymous donor, there are others who are interested in supporting both student life at CSUSM and access to the campus by the surrounding community." The proposed track and soccer field can be seen in this drawing to the left of Craven Drive. Riding on the successful completion of the track and soccer complies is the chance for CSUSM to qualify for NCAA II division sports competition. "We need 6 sports and one major facility," said Castle. "This project paves the way for the future." J une, 1998 the track p roject breaks the fundraising deadline. Donation made in response to Swastika-bearing racist fliers By Michael B. Miller Pride Staff Writer Small, Swastika-bearing flyers have been popping up on campus over the last month and a half. In response, a group of faculty, staff and administrators who vowed to donate money every time such an event occurs have followed through with their promise. Since some of this Racist material was distributed during the festivities honoring the late farm labor leader Cesar Chavez, the donations will be made in Cesar Chavez's memory. The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff (LAFS) will be the recipients of the donations. The LAFS* endowment provides scholarships to latino students at CSUSM. The informal group that makes these racial incident donations was started last year by concerned administrators, faculty, and staff. The hope is that donations given with each occurrence of racism will deter further such behavior. "These donations will mean that the perpetrator of racist acts on campus are furthering the cause of racial equality. I am grateful to those who have come forward with this civil, affirmative response," said Bill Stacy, university president in a Public Affairs press release. University donor passes By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer Mrs. Ella J. Thedinga of Rancho Bernardo passed away at the age of 90 on March 20 leaving to CSUSM the generous gift of her life savings. Jane Lvach, Director of Development at CSUSM, says the gift will provide approximately 20 scholarships a year in perpetuity. Her legacy will help deserving students for generations to come. As a relatively small university, Mrs. Thedingas donation has a major impact on our ability to provide scholarships to students. These students, in turn, will make a difference in our community. In her early years, Mrs. Thedinga worked hard to put her husband through college. During those difficult financial times the Thedingas decided to give what money they could to help deserving students. Mrs. Thedingas hard work as an elementary school teacher for 30 years in Wisconsin paid off as her husband, Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga, became a professor, dean of men, and vice-president for student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Oskosh from 1936 to 1972. After Dr. Thedingas retirement in 1972, the couple moved to Orange County and then to Rancho Bernado in 1989. Mrs. Thedinga was widowed in 1993. Her first gift to CSUSM occurred in December 1994, when she pledged $500,000 to start a scholarship endowment (at that time the largest the campus had ever received). She frequently hosted the Thedinga scholarship recipients to lunch and attended many student-focused events on campus. Mrs. Thedinga cared deeply for students and helped them throughout her life as a teacher, as a mentor, and as a f riend.. .She was a w a r m , generous and caring person who touched many lives. She will be sorely misled by all who knew her, said Bill Stacy, CSUSM president. �Tix?

The students got off the school buses hauling buggy to the Dome area—all 120 of them — at 8:30 am to be greeted by the TKEs, MECha, AX , Sociology Club and HRES volunteers. The fourth-graders, eager and excited to begin their 'Tm Going to College" adventure, waited patiently in line while volunteers distributed CSUSM photo I.D. cards, backpacks and T-shirts imprinted with the announcement "I'm Going to College." No horseplay or messing around helped the lines to move quickly in the chilly morning. A quick sampling of several students revealed that they'd never been to a college campus. However, they weren't intimidated; they couldn't be when smiling, friendly volunteers greeted and joked with them. The volunteer guides horsed around with the students. When one group was in front of the Science Hall, the guide asked a volunteer supervisor to explain what went on in the hall. He replied that he didn't know what went on in there. Why not? Because he was a business major! The students got a big chuckle. However, these students knew what a business major was.

He chairs the Finance and Personnel committee, serves on the Executice committee and is an exofficial of the Fundraising committee. He also works with the campus Educational Opportunity Program. Faltaous would like to change the negative image CSUSM has gotten due to racial strife. He plans to promote child care programs and avtivities and provide social and academic support for day and night students. Faltaous specifically wants A.S. to set aside a $10,000 support fund for campus clubs and organizations. Burke feels the Associated Students has not communicated sufficiently with students, clubs and campus organizations the past few years. Increasing club support and promoting a sense of community on campus with more events and expanded intramural sports are among his main goals. Burke also wants longer hours in the library, book store, labs and Dome for nighttime students. He would also like to look into renegotiating or eliminating the university's contract with Aztec shops, which runs the book store and Dome cafe. He served as the president of the Political Science Association this past year and as Treasurer the year before. He has worked on A.S.' Finance and Personnel, Programming and Recreation Committees. External Vice President Internal Vice President Joy Moore Sophomore Business and Economics Moore sees the university's youth and inexperience as two main obstacles that are at the root of many of our problems. Lack of finance and lack of student participation are two examples. Moore sees A.S. as being as organized as possible at the present, but hopes to develop more cooperation and organization in the future. Moore supports an A.S. retreat to promote unity and efficiency. She also approves of a student fee increase of $10 in the money given to A.S. Joy describes herself as "really dedicated and extremely hard working." Moore served as internal vice president last semester and was part of the California State Student Association. Alex Ramirez Editors note- Ramirez entered the internal vice presidential race late and Junior Business Administration was not reached for comment by The Pride. He did not turn in a campaign statement listing his goals if elected. He attended both open candidate forums.

Dawson sites his three semesters working in the Executive Vice Presidents office as a student assistant and two summer positions as government employee as qualifications, as well as his computer literacy. Alimi points out the need for more unity in A.S. Lack of club funding, low student participation, and lack of campus spirit are other problems he plans to combat if elected. Alimi also believes A.S. needs a retreat to find things out about each other. He ., . . « _, , approves of a student fee increase of $ 10 and thinks clubs should get at least $300 per semester.

Jingling-pocketed students converged on campus after a week-long hiatus only to find free printing remained. It remained at the computers that had not been decimated by pay per print hardware and software installation, that is. Lab techicians scrambled to reprogram computers, as did the library's computer whizzes. The campus network even had to be retooled. It was a lot of trouble for something that was put off until next semester. Especially when you consider that most of the 15 cent-per-copy charge doesn't go to the school anyway. It goes to the company that installed the pay per print equipment. And who knows what problems printing students will face next semester. There are simpler solutions. Leaving the manual feed open on the printers and allowing students to bring their own paper would have been a more economical compromise. Fifteen cents can buy watermarks and executive fiber at Kinko's Copiers. Granted a copy machine print is different than a computer printout, but copy shops aren't supported by tax dollars and tuition fees. Toner and maintenance on printers must also be taken into account. Adding 50 cents to student tuition would garner a decent pool to work with. And it is better than paying 15 cents for a single copy. Sadly enough, this overpriced printing plan seems to be a foregone conclusion, as the pay per print system has already been installed..

Please recycle this newspaper For a university so dependent upon at- tracting attention to its minority hiring and enrollment, this campus was getting skewered alive. Every time I told a nonstudent that I attended CSUSM, the first question was something to the extent of "so, how's the racism up there?" So is this second "day of healing" really necessary? That depends on its true intent. Another day to celebrate cultural uniqueness is not what this campus needs. Each day in class we are encouraged to acknowledge each other's differences; to focus on them; study them and respect them. An organized diversity-focusing day will be nothing short of the norm. Students need to come together as a single unit, to socialize at the most basic level; as human beings. Inviting a mass of hate crime speakers to campus is simply buying a ticket to the local media circus. We may as well be season ticket holders. April 21 should be a day to build social ties with others on campus, especially those of other races. Announce that the day is meant to allow us to become better aquainted with one another, schedule a diverse number of bands to play and perhaps have one speaker. It should be casual and enjoyable. We have already acknowledged the racial problems. We focus on our diversified differences everyday. April 21 should focus on our similarities. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Fxide, ThuKsday, Ami 10, 1997 Diversity commitee members not swayed by Aryans Our education has given us the tools to de-construct the rhetorical moves made in the Letter to the Editor from the Aryan Student Union president and vice president in the Feb. 27 issue of The Pride. We (we are male, female; gay, lesbian, and straight; and multiracial) are not fooled, impressed, no swayed by your contrived politeness. Having said this, we would like to address the specifics of your Letter to the Editor. First, we would pose the question: If you "regret and fear: the members, actions, and repercussions of your own group, how would you expect anybody else to feel about them? You openly admit responsibility for their actions and for their power to cause "problems on our campus." Why would the campus community open their arms to a group that has been responsible for such vile behavior? Second, your claim to a member ship of a "fluctuating 10-15" appears questionable. You begin writing your letter in the first person, "I" (indicating, for grammatical clarification, one person, yourself) and then switch to the plural "we." You sign it as if the two of you wrote it together after you begin, I am writing..." Furthermore, you have yet to identify yourselves, so forgive us if your credibility and claims to membership appear tenuous at best. By the way, if you are so proud and innocent in motive, why not sign your names? Third, we are not ignorant about the White Aryan Resistance and its founding father, Tom Metzger (who is no doubt one of your sought-after speakers). We are aware of the literature, the crimes for which he has been found responsible, and his message of hate. You admitted connection to that group when you referred to those whose actions you "don't condone... who may be related to us." Your politeness does not cloak your ideology. Fourth, in your piece you refer to people of color as "non-Aryans." For future reference, consider displacing yourselves as the center of anybody else's identity. People of color would never refer to themselves as "non-Aryan." We are not your negative space. We do not consider you when we identify ourselves. While on the topic of identity, please note that Aryan and white are not, for most white folks, synonymous. Claim Aryan as an identity if you choose but do so with the realization that most white people do not consider themselves Aryans; they recognize the implications of that identity, even if you try to submerge it. Fifth, andperhaps most critically, your attempts to compare yourselves to Black Americans or Jewish Holocaust victims is not only grossly offensive but is ignorant. The historical comparison is nonexistent. Stating it as truth does not make it so. Perhaps your group should brush up on history. Struggles faced by white ethnics in America were rewarded with the ability to assimilate to an Anglo-American ideal. As a result, all of our president (including ours here at CSUSM) have been white males. As a result, you can move through this campus in complete anonymity. Your ability to slip away undetected is one of the many privileges you enjoy via your whiteness. Furthermore, your attempts to com- pare your acts of resistance are backward. Those groups were agitating for justice, equality, and basic human rights. They, unlike yourselves, were brave and willing torisktheir lives to stand up, be seen, and defend their beliefs. You are the perpetrators of hate, not the victims. We are not moved by your claims to oppression, we are repulsed. Finally, if you find this campus so oppressive and unjust, why are you so anxious to be officially recognized? We are here to tell you that whether or not you receive official recognition, you will never "become like the other groups on campus." You are fundamentally different because you are consumed with your racism. And, by the way, we will not only "construe" your commentary as racist, we will identify you as what you are: blatantly racist; and we will work to see that you (whether you are one or one hundred) will always feel unwelcome on this campus. Pan-African Alliance president reponds to Aryans In response to the letter from the Aryan Student Union President and Vice President of the Aryan Student Union: your group is not recognized because it is a small, exclusionary, racist, divisive group, the actions of which run counter to the rationale of an institution of higher learning. Why should your group or any group be officially recognized whose purpose is to cause division amongst people? I defend your right to speak your mind. But I ask, what have you done with your right and your ability to reason? You say it is right for groups to express their outrage at being denigrated. But whites like yourself denigrate nonwhites on the premise that Laura Canty-Swapp whites are more worthy than nonwhites. Graduate Student, Sociology Your group as all groups that promote A.S. Activating Diversity Committee hate and racism should be denigrated bemember cause your actions and the reasons for them are wrong. Kimberly Kagy Your members who, according to you, Undergraduate, Liberal Studies expressed their identities in unacceptable Chair, A.S. Activating Diversity Com ways, have done so out of evil mindedness, mittee not because they have valid grievances to air. Don't even try to equate your illegal symbolism of (so-called) redress with struggles of black people to win their freedom in this country. To equate your struggle with those who were the victims of the holocaust is shameful. You truly have no shame! You clandestinely spread your lies and allude to your dirty deeds in the school paper, but you don't have the integrity or the courage to be open. You know that what you do and stand for is evil, wrong and divisive. If you had any sense you would be encouraging these sick minds to stop these monstrous activities and stop denying the truth that indeed, we are all created equal. What will you do with your official recognition? You say that if your group is recognized by CSUSM it will show that the university is dedicated to diversity. Diversity has to do with the celebration and acceptance of all ethnic groups. Your actions and words have shown that diversity is not a part of your agenda. So why try to deceive us into believing that acceptance of your exclusionary group is beneficial to the university or to diversity? Your organization truly does not belong on a college campus where enlightenment is the goal to be achieved.

ENTERTAINMENT The Pmde, Tbunsday, ApmL 10, 1997 - Cave charts new ground with 'Boatman's Gall' By Gabe Lundeen Entertainment Editor After producing an album comprised entirely of songs about killing people, what could possibly be left for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? 1996's brilliant "Murder Ballads" had a body count of almost seventy, but with a wit to match. From the grim killer who quotes "Paradise Lost" in "Song of J oy" to the i nsane e gomaniac of "O'Malley's Bar," Cave covered familiar ground in an unfamiliar way, and accidentally stumbled upon the greatest commercial success of his career. But commercial success was never a comfort zone for Cave, and, in his usual a udacious manner, Cave decided to change directions by creating an album of love songs and tender ballads, "The Boatman's Call." Keep in mind that these are not your typical Michael Bolton or Celine Dion These are not your typical Michael Bolton or Celine Dion Top 40 bubblegum love songs. Top 40 bubblegum love songs. They have a more hymn-like quality of them, and at times are devotionals. Cave writes love songs with bite, as he waxes poetic on love while attacking the human race or denying God's existence. The album shows a different side of Cave, a real departure from his usual style of fictional narratives/These songs have a more personal feel to them, and deal with more personal topics. He al- lows himself to expound on subjects other than death and despair, while still retaining aspects of his usual style. "Into My Arms," the album's first single, is as sincere a love song as Cave has ever written, while still capturing the cynicism and religious doubts he personally experiences. "I don't believe in an interventionist God," sings Cave, "but I know, darling, that you do." On top of songs about relationships, Cave also explores his relationship with God. On "Into My Arms" he claims not to believe in God, but in the song "There Is A K ingdom/' he sings religiously slanted lyrics like "There is a Kingdom, and there is a King," making sure to capitalize all of the "He'"s to denote a Godly influence. It's hard to get an exact picture of how Cave feels, but this only reflects the confusion he experiences. Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere?" is one o f'The Boatman's CaH"'s highlights, illustrating the departure of love from a once joyful relationship. The relationship is shown not just from the perspective of lovers, but also those who are caught in the middle. They face dissatisfaction, "while the bones of our child crumble like chalk." "The Boatman's Call" is very reminiscent of the music of Leonard Cohen, the king of depressing music and an obvious influence on Cave. Coherfs shadow has always loomed high over Cave's music, and music critics almost always cite this fact and use it against him, referring t o him as a cheap imitation. Though he has yet to reach the greatness of Cohen's poetry, Cave has definitely formed a style of his own. Every musician has influences, and he just happened to pick a great one. He can't be blamed for his taste. The album's only disappointment is the lack of strong musicianship. This is Cave's album, and the Bad Seeds are left behind as nothing more than background music. The Bad Seeds are often the driving force behind songs that might otherwise fail. Their presence here is very un- derstated, drowned out by the deep power of Cave's vocals. It is a shame that one of the best and most underrated backing bands in music today is so seldom used. "The Boatman's Call" allows Nick Cave to climb out of the routine he found himself in. The most successful songs of his career have been dark, murderous narratives, but there is a finite amount of ways to kill, as Cave has been discovering. A gifted lyricist, he navigates new ground with great skill. After the bloodshed of 1996's "Murder Ballads," Nick Cave(pictured) and the Bad Seeds branch out and create a more tender album with "The Boatman's Call."

Silverchair seems to take the subject of addiction very seriously. Whether or not these were autobiographical lyrics, they depict drugs here as a symbol of destruction and death, often times involving loved ones and intimates. Johns seems to maintain a common ground between a defiance reacted by dark, abstract feelings and reality measured and evaluated in terms of addictions and perilous lifestyles. Similar to the sound of Kurt Cobain but unique in and of i tself, t his new album by Silverchair is destined for glory. Listen for more songs from "Freak Show", because they are sure to be unanimously appreciated. �The Pmde, Unmsday, ApmL 10, 1997 Offspring's music tells of life Not much of a saint By Jill Cook Pride Staff Writer If it offends you, just don't listen to By Jennifer Talak it." The new Offspring album "Ixnay on the Hombre", opens with this very explicit warning. But is this new release truly offensive enough to deserve a whole track dedicated to cautioning listeners? Offensive, no. Truthful, yes. As in many other Offspring songs, including "What happened to you" (Smash) and "Hypodermic" (Ignition), Offspring brings to light real-life situations of young people. Their songs are meant to be identified with, and it is very probable that their target audience can relate well and comprehend their messages. If presenting the reality of drugs and hate in this world is construed by some as offensive, then Offspring is right—they shouldn't listen. The context of this warning contained in the first track "Disclaimer" reinforces this idea in more detail: "so protect your family; this album contains explicit depictions of things which are real; these real things are commonly known as life. So if it sounds sarcastic, don't take it seriously. If it sounds dangerous, don't try it at home or at all. If it offends you, just don't listen to it." Enough said, "Way down the Line" is a perfect example of a song off of "Ixnay on the Hombre" that confronts a dimension of reality that many people can relate to.

His on again off again British accent works some of the time, but since he doesn't really know who he is, the accent shifts and fades accordingly. As a character, the Saint is boring. He doesn't really have much to offer until he meets Professor Emma Russell, played by Elisabeth Shue. She is an American physicist who discovers a workable formula for cold fusion. Shue provides the plot for the story. Succumbing to his devious womanizing ways, she falls madly in love with Kilmer. Two Russian political groups, vying for control of Mother Russia, need her formula to win the election. Enter the Saint to save the day. Herein lies the setting for action and romance. Simon Templar, the Saint's chosen name, is a painful reminder of early childhood. Raised in a Catholic orphanage, he was subjected to physical and emotional abuse by priests, calling him heathen, son of satan and whipped him because he refused to say his name. This history is the opening scene of the film and the only scene that is painstakenly real. But reality quickly vanishes when we are introduced to the grown up Simon, et al. The rest of the story we are treated to a lot of action, fast cars, fast guns, near drownings, explosions, near escapes and always the re-union between Shue and Kilmer. Their union and re-union is the glue that holds the plot together. We are treated to scenes of romance and only partially clad bodies, remember this is a PG13 rated movie/'How will I find you?" is the question the two ask of each other time and again. They manage to find each other much to the delight of the movie viewer. For what else is there, in a no brainer, no plot movie other than Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue having hot, but not too hot trysts on the big screen. The Saint Directed by Phillip Noyes is rated PG 13 with a musical score by Graeme Revell that picks up the beat when the movie lags. Filmed in Russia and the U.K., the viewer is treated to some great panoramas of the Kremlin. ATTENTION CLUBS!!! The Pride will announce your upcoming events!

Special elections may be held for the fee increase later this semester, or in the Fall. "It's a valid proposal the campus (Student Fee Advisory Committee) had already approved it," said Berhane. Martinez is concerned that everything be done "by the book." One university has come under fire from the legal aspects because some have questioned the validity of their referendum procedure. A.S. P resident K ristina Gunderson, also a committee member, pushed for elections be postponed. A similar situation occurred last year when the increase was proposed at $5. If the measure is not voted upon this year, it is likely that a more costly fee increase will be requested next year.

There is no other woman on this earth that could ever bring joy and happiness into my heart like you, I have been searching for you all of my life. No other woman comes close to being as wonderful for me as you do. Inside and out you are the most beautiful woman alive. 1 need you in my life. You are the most important person in my life and I know that I have hurt you. Sometimes I can be insensitive to you and I just need to know what happened so that I can make it up to you. Yourfeelingsare important to me. I'm sony that I hurt them and that I did not tiy to tell you how sorry I was over the phone. I just reallyfeltthat I should have done that in person. I should have tried harder to tell you how much I appreciated you. Please believe I really did call you more than you may think. I left messages with your mom and tried to find you at home so I could apologize. I was busy helping my mom after her heart attacks and caring for my sister. I felt so proud of you that you were so understanding about me not having enough time for you. Ifeltproud you were on your own and taking this so well that I forgot to remind you how important you are to me, how much joy your smile brings me, how wonderful your voice sounds, how much I enjoy your company. You're my best friend. You have so many wonderful qualities 1 could not list them in 10 ads. We had a terrible time trying to communicate in late JAN&FEB and when we did talk, 1 think that we had some misunderstandings of what the other was trying to say. One example is when I asked you if you wanted to see other people. I didn't want anyone else, (I just told a woman to go away) I wanted you to say you loved me & only me, instead of what happened. How could you tell me there was nothing wrong on 3/2 and then mail back my ring on 3/5 without talking?! We have always talked out our problems. Did you feel that I cared so little about you that I would not talk to you to save our LOVE? Were you afraid to talk? I know that you still love me because you would not have been so upset the last time we talked. Cassie, I know that you are not a quitter. Please tell me everything that went wrong so that we can pray together. IF we pray together, GOD will help us. We have had three wonderful years together and had planned on spending eternity together. How can you let this all just slip away because I had to devote time to my mom and sister? Did youfeelthat neglected and unloved? Why didn't you tell me? I truly thought that you understood how serious my mom's condition was and were ok with me giving them my time to careforthem. Cassie, some people go a whole lifetime and never find a love like ours. Pleasereconsiderwhat has happened to us and that this has been a very stressful time in both our lives. Perhaps we have been too quick to judge and get mad at each other. Please know that I am not mad at you and I do not want to hurt you in any way. Please consider if this whole situation has been fair to either of us and watch the video I've made for you. Don't bottle up yourfeelings.Please talk to me and my pastor or to yours.

SEGALL Pride Editor "The end of education should surely be service to others," said student Natalie Hernandez, quoting her grandfather Cesar Chavez. Hernandez was one of many individuals to speak on campus for Cal State's first celebration of Cesar CMvez Day, March 28. On behalf of her family, Hernandez accepted a plaque commemorating the day. Her speech included messages that she believed her grandfather would have wanted to pass along to other individuals. "No matter how hard, no matter the struggle, he always believed, si se puede," said Hernandez. The celebration included Ballet Folklorico performances and live mariachi music, but began with words of reflection from those who said they felt inspired by Chavez and his work, which included improving the lives of farm workers. Assistant Dean of Students Tim Bills first introduced Fernando Bribiezca, a United Farm Workers organizer, to the audience that included students, faculty, and GEAR-UP participants from San Marcos Middle School and Grant Middle School. Bribiezca, a UFW organizer CMvez Plaza and the Chavez from 1997-1999, began the cel- statue.

Director of the about the history of CSUSM's Southwest Riverside County Offers CSUSM Courses S,outhwest Riverside Campus (Courtesy Photo/CSUSM) By CLAY BABER Pride Staff Writer "Our incentive is to make education available to the community " said Lora Coad, Director of CSUSM's Southwest Riverside County project (SWRC). The SWRC project, currently located in Temecula, is an alternate campus for students pursuing their associate's degree, bachelor's degree, or teaching credential. Courses are currently offered at the James Day Middle School near the Promenade Mall in Temecula. Working with Mount San Jacinto College, CSUSM has developed an integrated curriculum for the students attending the SWRC. "We share a unique partnership with Mt. San Jacinto College," says Coad. All of the lower division coursework that satisfies either AA or GE requirements is taken through MSJC, while the upper division courses for those students pursuing their bachelor's degree in liberal studies or teaching credential are offered by CSUSM. "The SWRC needs to always have a connection to the main campus," says Coad. "Our students are encouraged to attend both campuses." Currently the SWRC only offers evening and weekend courses; therefore, a good number of the students, 44 percent according to Coad, also take classes on the main campus during the week. Currently the fee structure for the SWRC is the same fee structure for courses offered through the CSU system. "Two extension courses are offered this semester, but the remainder of those offered by the SWRC are state funded; therefore, standard fees are applicable," explains Coad. The amount of state funding available to the SWRC is based on the enrollment figures for each semester. "Enrollment growth for the last two semesters was higher than projected," says Coad. The number of students attending the SWRC continues to grow since the first courses were offered in the fall of 1999; therefore, more state funding has become available. Future plans for the SWRC include regular session accelerated courses for the fall 2001 semester. By the end of 2002, the SWRC also hopes to have a newer, larger facility and also plans to offer daytime courses. Negotiations are currently taking place for a new 35,000 squarefoot facility for classrooms and offices located in Murrietta, approximately 10 miles north of the current Temecula location. Coad added, "The public education program is quite limited in the Temecula area; therefore, the SWRC attracts many students who would not normally come to the main csmipus." Student dance troupe, Patricia Navarro explained that their particular dancing was not Jalisco style, but more from Sinaloa, a state in Mexico. Additional afternoon performances included mariachi music played by Mariachi del Sol, which included students such as Ramon Nava on the violin. The evening ended with a candlelight vigil at CMvez Plaza. The Cesar CMvez celebration will continue on April 18 in the Dome Plaza, when M.E.Ch.A. hosts a Day of Learning with poetry, music and dance. Attempts Suicide On CampUS By NATHAN FIELDS Pride Feature Editor A student was prevented from committing suicide on campus Friday around 2:30 p.m. by Professor Anibal YanezChavez. A Liberal Studies professor at Cal State San Marcos, Yanez found the student, a young woman, cutting herself with a sharp object on the spiral staircase midway between the fifth and sixth floors of Craven Hall. A custodian working on the fifth floor assisted Professor Yanez after hearing screams and alerted the campus police. The woman was reportedly taken in an ambulance to Scripps Hospital in La Jolla. Rick Moore, Director of Communications at. CSUSM, confirmed Friday that "there was a young woman, she was not a student here, with a sharp object who was trying to commit suicide. I don't know why she would come here to do it." The girl is a student at Palomar College. Claudia Ignacio, a student working in the advising office on the fifth floor during the time of the attempt, arrived on the scene too late to help, but before custodians Md cleaned up the small amount of blood that had been spilled. "Nobody knows why she came here to kill herself, but I have heard administrators say that it doesn't look good for our school." Ignacio later spoke to Professor Yanez. "I could tell he (Yanez) was really overwhelmed. All he said was I 'm shocked.'" Although Lieutenant Bill McCullough confirmed the occurence, CSUSM Police were unable to give an official statement regarding the incident. Taxes III 'Opinion -Calendar 8 Samuel L. Jackson stars in "Caveman's Valentine" . Ill Review Bage 4 �The Pride 2 Tuesday; April 10, 2001 Tax Day on April 16: By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor With taxes due on April 16, now is the time for all of us procrastinators to get our acts together and figure out what forms we need to prepare for the deadline and the changes in tax laws. Free help is available for taxpayers. But if you choose to prepare yours on your own, be aware of the few minor changes with tax credits and exclusions. New California tax credits are: Child and Dependent Care Expenses Credit, Long-Term Care Credit, Natural Heritage Preservation Credit and a Teacher Retention Credit, q The new Child and Dependent Care Expense Credit is a percentage of the nonrefundable federal credit that the IRS allows you for the cost of your employmentrelated child and dependent care expenses. If your income is not over $100,000, you can claim the credit using California Forms 540, 540A and 540NR. You cannot claim it by using the form 5402EZ. Even if you do not claim the credit through your federal return, you can still claim it on your state return. Depending on how much you make, you can receive up to 63 percent of the federal credit. The maximum California credit is $907. q Long-Term Care Credit allows up to $500 for each qualifying individual in need of long-term health care and for the eligible caregiver that is the taxpayer. Using California Form 3504, you can attach it to your tax . return. q Natural Heritage Preservation Credit is for those who donated land to the Wildlife Conservation Board in order to preserve the heritage of the land. To learn if you qualify for this credit, contact the Wildlife Conservation Board at (916) 445-8448. q The Teacher Retention Credit is on California Form 3505. If you are a credentialed teacher and teach any grade from K-12 in a qualified educational institution, you are eligible for credit. Any teacher that has been in service f rpm four to six years can receive up to $250; six to 11 years up to $500; 11-20 years up to $1,000; 20 or more the credit can go up to $1,500. New California Income Exclusions are interests received IMAB Inc. Thoughts on... Character Compiled by: M.

We, the Faculty at San Marcos State University, are commited to provide the highest quality education to our students. This has become increasingly difficult due to alarming trends in the California State University system. Over the last 7 years at San Marcos: *The student enrollment has increased 110%, from 2736 to 5739 *The tenure track faculty increased by only 51%, from 97 to 147 *But, the administration, on the other hand, increased by 55%, from 36 to 56 postions The state allocated millions to the CSU system for faculty, yet these resources were used for non-instructional administrative costs. Furthermore, the hiring of lecturers, which now make up a majority of your teachters at San Marcos, are now without job security, often without health benefits, often sharing offices, computers, & telephone lines with all the other lecturers in thier department, and often teaching at multiple universities around the community. We understand from talking to students that it is often the individual time that a faculty member can spend with students that makes the difference in grades, job opportunities, and recommendations. Despite these trends, faculty at all levels and in all disciplines continue to work diligently to provide students with the education, skills, and support necessary to succeed in today's world. In April, the California Faculty Association, which is the union that represents and negotiates on behalf of all faculty will enter into contract negotiations with Chancellor Reed. Our goal in these negotiations is to make improvements in areas that directly impact our ability to provide the highest level of academic and scholarly support to the students of San Marcos State. We expect that these will be tough negotiations. We intend to keep students informed of the progress. We very much look forward to working together with student leadership on how we can continue to ensure that providing a quality education remains CSU's number one priority. iH • This i s a p a i d a dvertisement* CALIFORNIA FACULTY ASSOCIATION WWW.CALFAC.ORG ( 760) 7 S0-4009 in m ssociation �4 Tuesday, April 10, 2001 The Pride Arts & Entertainment Japanese Art Exhibition at CSUSM Casey Goddard, Scott McFeeters, Joseph Tran and Peter Vu for The Pride A huge sheet of Japanese rice paper, 6 feet by 4 feet, was spread across the floor space of University Hall 440.

However, a completely opposite trip, in both direction and mentality, is a journey north towards Monterey Bay. Far from the seedy Tijuana nightclubs, one can step aside, relax and enjoy this tranquil sojourn and break away to enjoy the serene and beautiful countryside that is often forgotten, yet exists right here in California. The yfear's winter rainfall is now diminishing, and as the summer sun begins to shine, it creates a lush green landscape obscured only by misty clouds set atop the larger hillsides rising eastward into the ihountains. The rolling green pastures leading from San Luis Obispo into Big Sur seem to go on forever.

Without even considering the winding road, it is hard for most drivers to keep from veering off course. The scene that is continually unfolding is enough to keep the sound of the lane markers bouncing as they pass under the wheels, the distracted driver attempting to concentrate on the task at hand. The coast eventually winds its way into Big Sur, where the Redwoods have a home at Pfeiffer State Park. Full of hiking trails, picnic areas, waterfalls and mountain lions, the park enables visitor's to access the forest and parkland that could literally take years to explore. There are paths that go up, around and switch back all through the forest, aiding people in enjoying a unique part of the California coastline. It is amazing to pass through such diversity in such a short period of time. California has more to offer than most people would believe. It is inspiring to step outside to a place many have forgotten even exists: a place of serenity, a place where the everyday drifts into the past. What unfolds at that moment is everything. Nothing can touch the feelings that come, unhindered into consciousness, igniting all the senses on a direct path to your heart. �6 Tuesday, April 10, 2001 account, rather than the individual editors.

I have been employed by both the state and federal government working for a congressman and a state assembly member. But more than the above, I am also a senior here at CSUSM and understand what one must go through to deal with the bureaucracy that is CSUSM. After viewing the article concerning Warren, I have wondered if he has contacted his state assembly member or state senator. Given that this institution is largely funded by the state and a portion by the federal government, the student should consider that the state assembly funds and oversees (thru the State Board of Education) the very existence of this institution and therefore has the power of administrative inquiry on the behalf of the constituent, namely Warren. Understanding that the issue falls under the administrative realm and is NOT a legal issue, the state assembly member or senator may provide a crucial part in establishing mediation between the state, the institution, and the student. If there are any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope this can shed some light for Warren. Sincerely, Philip Rush rush006@csusm.edu Finding Sources in the Library: Is It Really Hard? By ROLAND ARIAS JR. Pride Staff Writer Given the anticipation of the new library, there is a lot of criticism on the lack of resources in the current library. While I have heard many students and even some faculty tell me that the Cal State San Marcos Library does not adequately serve the needs of students because of its small space, the library provides sources to students in a variety of ways. Students just have to be willing dig a little to use them. Since I do not have time to go to other libraries in San Diego County, the library on campus is my only choice for sources. At first when I found out that the book I was looking for was in the annex, I would try to find different sources that were already on the book stacks. Eventually however, I found that getting books and other sources in the annex are not hard to get at all and they usually come in the day after they are requested. Just recently, I had to go to the library to get a book from an obscure author. Not thinking that our small library would have the book I needed, I was astonished to find that it was in the library's annex. While it would have been nice to flip through the pages of the book before I checked it out, its reassuring to know that there are a wide variety of books readily assessable in our "small" library. . Most students are unaware of the abundant online sources to which they have access. The online journals available to CSUSM students are some of the most useful academic tools that I have utilized in my four years at the university. One online service I found particularly helpful is EBSCOhost. Since the database gives access to full text journals and scholarly sources, I frequently use EBSCOhost for finding sources for my papers. While there are other online services available to students though the library, EBSCOhost is one of the most useful. The San Diego Circuit is another vital aspect of the library. The resources available on the circuit give students can access numerous sources in other libraries including SDSU, UCSD, and USD. The materials can be picked up the next day if ordered early enough. Since orders placed on the circuit before 10 am can be picked up after 3pm, getting books from other universities is very convenient. Granted, the San Diego State Library and the UCSD library will have readily accessible materials that the Cal State San Marcos library will not, but as the university grows, so to will the university's educational resources. For those of you who have a hard time finding sources in the library, the sources are there, you just need to know where to find them. Opinion ^Ask the TsycHe fairy The Pride Psyche Fairy R eturns!

Dear Editors, I have just read an article in your paper titled, "One Student's Journey through the Paper Trail," and I must tell you how truly outraged I am. What kind of school are you running? How dare you take away 3 years of this young man's life that he worked so hard for just because he put his education on hold to be by the side of his girlfriend, who had just been brutally raped and tried to commit suicide? You should be commending him for what he has done. President Gonzalez, you are a poor excuse for a human being. How can you live with yourself? How can any of the administrators live with themselves for the trauma they have inflicted on this young man? You have shown all of us that, when it comes to choosing a university for our children, yours is truly not the right one, especially if we want our children to succeed. I will do everything in my power to spread the word to as many high schools as possible, as I work for the school system. I feel that they need to know what CSUSM has, or should I say doesn't have, to offer them. Think about it! - Paula Kubiak/Vista Resident School Vouchers the Only Option By AMY BOLASKI Pride Copy Editor "Why should poor children be consigned to chronically poor schools that consistently fail to prepare them to attend college, much less get a good-paying job? ... Millions are casualties of dysfunctional schools." Why indeed? The San Diego Union Tribune addressed the issue in a recent editorial (which I've taken the liberty of quoting) encouraging readers to examine the "eminently defensible" school voucher proposal with open eyes. We need to recognize that parents deserve a voice, and an actual choice, when it comes to their children's education. President Bush's plan would grant parents of children who attend "sub-par" schools for three consecutive years a $1,500 federal voucher to help subsidize the cost of private education. The Bush plan is a moderate, flexible one, and while Bush says he's "willing to listen" to other approaches, he maintains that "Children and parents who have had only bad choices need better choices." Our youth are worthy of the best shot we can give them and the public school system too often fails in this endeavor. Legislators have long promised to implement various programs and have concocted various solutions to fix our schools, and we're still waiting. Our test scores are still low, children aren't learning fundamental skills they need to succeed in college-level coursework and many of them are simply falling through the cracks. While the voucher system isn't going to revolutionize or " fix" our schools, it's a step in the right direction. Democratic lawmakers and the California Teacher's Association, as well as other unions are vehemently opposing vouchers the plan calls for accountability. And since the public system can't step up to the plate, the state and the teachers' unions will lose money if the legislation passes. U.S. Education Secretary Rob Paige called opposition to the voucher system an "attempt to protect an already dead monopoly." And it is. We voted against Proposition 38 in November, which would have given parents a $4,000 annual voucher. The California Teacher's Association raised more than $26 million in an effort to keep the proposition from passing, and they were successful - depending on how success is measured. If continuing to dump taxpayer's money into a system that repeatedly fails its students, and then making halfhearted and vague promises to use that money to benefit our schools is success, then so be it. Where are the results? We could have used that $26 million for vouchers rather than wasting it on advertisements urging the public to pretend away the problem. Yes, the public school sys- tem and the teachers' unions will lose money. There are decent school districts, some fine public schools, and wonderful teachers out there. But the sytem as a whole reeks of bureaucratic incompetence, and we need to roll the dice on this. The voucher system may have flaws; it may fail. But if you don't gamble, you won't ever win. Our children's education is too big a gamble to keep playing it safe. If you find yourself diametrically opposed to the idea of vouchers,, keep in mind that money comes out of your pockets. How deep are they? Parents of those children who are already enrolled in private institutions still have to pay taxes on federally funded education. You won't see the teachers' unions or the legislators mentioning this, because it then becomes apparent that those parents are being hit with a doublQ-whkpimjrjwhile everyone elsfe bacjqi their pockets full, while we contihud to grant diplomas to students with fourtfcgrade reading skills. Let's support a system that will force our public schools to shape up or ship out - on Bush's plan they have three years to take what's wrong and make it better before losing money on each student that makes the switch to a private school. Until we have the option of sending kids to public institutions that aren't decaying, decentered and demoralized, it's the only option. �Why We Celebrate the Memory of Cesar Chavez STEVE COMPI AN Literature and Writing Major : Tom Chambers' question, "Why celebrate [Cesar] Chavez and not President's Day" was so comical that several ironies raised by the opinion piece mighttovebeen overlooked. Chambers'comparison of Chavez, tortheclate Teamster bosF!Jimmy»Hoffa was hilarious, and -his- "Washington fathered our freedom/Lincoln freed the slaves" observation would make any sixth-grade teacher proud. While Chambers 'states "all he did was start a union," historians remember the man in a different light—as a civil rights leader. Although attending more than thirty schools and working part-time in the fields, Chavez completed school through the eighth grade (a rare accomplishment for a farm laborer). Chavez served in the Navy during World War II, and after the war, he returned to the fields because the sign, "Whites Only" did not just discriminate against blacks. In 1965, Chavez organized afive-yearboycott by grape pickers, who were bargaining for lofty perks like bathrooms, running water, and electricity for overcrowded quarters.

G etting t he Facts Straight ISABEL R. SOLIZ CSUSM Graduate Student At a university whose mission statement includes statements such as, "The University offers cultural enrichment in an intellectually stimulating environment and acts as a focus for community social activities," I am appalled that Mr. Tom Chambers can make such ignorant statements about Cesar Chavez' worthiness of CSUSM scheduling activities and a day to honor him. Recognizing Mr. Chamber's ignorance, I'd like to set some facts straight, as recorded in history. First, Cesar Chavez, though not educated or having a doctorate degree, upheld the ideals set forth by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, even though they did not practice what they preached. In fact, they lived in contradiction to their ideals. For example,^ - yoitr claim that Washington gave "us" freedom, yet he owned slaves. And Lincoln, though regarded; as the great emancipator, who gave the slaves their freedom, is also known among historians as having taken the issue against slavery for political reasons. When questioned about the Civil War by Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, Lincoln is quoted saying, "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves, I would do it; if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that." (Chronicle of America). My point is this: Cesar Chavez upheld the very ideals Washington and Lincoln are known for, without any political aspirations. You state that Chavez' efforts "shrink in the shadows of King." Actually, it is the other way around. Chavez' efforts to bring attention to the injustices being made against Americans began before Dr. King's, but the crusaders just happened to be farm workers. Chavez efforts began before Rosa Parks' bus incident. Chavez began in 1944 (as compared to King's efforts in 1955) when he challenged the segregated theater system by refusing to sit in the section for Mexicans and sitting in the "whites only" section. For this he was arrested. His cause sharpened while he served in the U.S. Navy, as he discovered that Americans of other nationalities also suffered discrimination. His proactive work against injustices con- HA VE AN OPINION? SUBMIT and Mexican-Americans earned $1.10. In that year, Chavez and the farm workers became part of the "The Movement", a catchall phrase describing those sharing a commitment to end the injustices of racism, the war in Vietnam, the sufferings of the poor, and the degradation of farm workers. So you see, it was not just about starting a union. In 1968, tinued in 1948 when he joined the National Farm Labor Union while fasting to put a (NFLU).

That LaborDepartment year, Chavez when they sided Pictures, like the one at top ofarticle, the most downtrodden people continued until his death in 1993. If you want to compare Chavez to Dr. King, Chavez began his efforts to uphold freedom and equality nine years before Dr. King. Furthermore, Chavez' approach was all "hands on" while King became involved after Rosa Parks took a stand and the sit-ins in Birmingham, Alabama took place. Though Dr. King's honorable efforts are not to be minimized, as he did hold a doctorate, and won recognition with the Nobel Peace Prize and Time Magazine's Man of the Year awards, both in 1964. Cesar Chavez was recognized by Robert F. Kennedy as "one of the heroic figures of our time." In 1994 he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor, by President Clinton. Mr. Chambers, if we are to use a bar to measure greatness, Chavez' efforts for human and civil rights began long before King's, yet he did not win any recognition. Was it because of his ethnicity? He certainly didn't work for political reasons. The difference is that one had a doctorate and one was a poor farm worker, a humble U.S. citizen of Mexican decent, a WWII veteran and a patriot who upheld the ideals set forth by Washington and Lincoln. If that "cheapens" the greatness of past leaders, I question your motives.

California is the world's 12th largest producer of greenhouse gases. In order to combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state permission to regulate vehicle emissions in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan- dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators. California, along with 11 other states, sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the EPA was not protecting the environment enough, especially concerning greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, debate continues on how much greenhouse gases really affect global warming. Many, including those in power, insist that global warming is a fad. Some Job Fair at CSUSM Geico, UPS, AT&T, Target, SDPD, and many other businesses on hand BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer politicians bring up the fact that scientists were concerned with global cooling in the 1970s. According to some politicians, global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, though The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring and with 90% confidence that it is because of human interference. On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will host its annual career fair from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The job fair which is sponsored by CSUSM, North County Times, Enterprise, UPS, Capital Group Companies, Geico, and La Costa Glen Carlsbad, will have over 100 businesses on hand for students to apply. Some of these businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers, Accountants Inc., Pacific Marine Credit Union, and Seaworld San Diego. Pamela Wells, associate director of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does not have to be in f ull fancy interview attire. Businesses will be on hand to attract students to careers and jobs. See EPA, page-2 See CAREER FAIR, page 2 EPA to regulate California's emmissions standards BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Tues. April 24, CSUSM will welcome nationally known speaker Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington. As a trainer and consultant on multiculturalism and multicultural organization development, Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington will lead a discussion titled, "A Dialogue: Intersections of Organizational Priorities and Social Justice Realities." The discussion will introduce a multicultural awareness as it focuses on the issues of social justice and will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Commons 206 and lunch is included. The Lunch discussion will examine multiculturalism and will provide studérrts and faculty with s kiffi to serve a diverse student population. �From L .E.A .D., page 1 THE (^PRIDE A second session titled, " Who am I?

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

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

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

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

No butts ahe on-campus smoking policy llowed Controversy behind t BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The smoking policy on campus was implemented on August 1, 2005. However, it has been brought to recent attention that some students—who do s m o k e are allegedly not complying with the administered rules. Smoking is limited to the designated outside areas only, and is not permitted in any of the Cal State San Marcos buildings or state-owned vehicles. The idea behind creating designated smoking areas around campus is t o "protect visitors and all members of the campus community from exposure to secondhand smoke by containing it to specific, avoidable areas," reads an excerpt from the official CSUSM smoking policy. Individuals who suffer from asthma or cardiac problems are particularly at risk when exposed to second hand smoke. In addition to secondhand smoke being a Class A carcinogen due to its cancercausing effects, The United States Environmental Protection Agency claims that "there is 'no safe level of exposure4 to secondhand smoke. With designated smoking areas, people can avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke if they choose to do so." Oddly enough, some designated smoking areas seem to be placed in certain highly congested areas on campus (next to Science building 1, and near the Library), where avoiding secondhand smoke is nearly impossible. Therefore, the issue concerning CSUSM students is shifting away f rom why CSUSM has designated smoking areas to instead analyzing the effective placing of the designated smoking areas meant to prevent secondhand smoke. California state law requires that there be "no smoking within 20 feet of all entrances, exits and operable windows and air intakes." CSUSM's smoking policy also stresses that the state law "does not protect people from breathing secondhand smoke in areas like the plazas and on stairways and walkways" and that des- WÄRNIHS SMOKE I S KNOWN TO CAUSE GANGER tSËr.-T^lg? A D OTHERI HEPS SfiTS M . . M .M J M ËÛ ignated smoking areas are more effective because "when smokers are directed to places where they can smoke, versus where they cannot smoke, the policy is more easily understood and honored." Karina Martinez, a non-smoker on campus states that she does not mind when smokers are in the designated smoking areas but becomes annoyed "only when they're walking around with it on campus and I have to walk behind that nasty thing." When asked if she knew and utilized the designated smoking areas on campus, Kate Strauss, a smoker said "yes, I know where the desI ignated smoking areas are. I No, I don't use them. Why? Because, I'm too lazy. But, if someone asked me to move, I'd happily do so." CSUSM encourages smokers and non-smokers to cooperate in order to make the policy effective and understands that "proper signage and education are key parts of this process." For more information on the smoking policy and a map of designated smoking areas on campus, go to http:// www.csusm.edu/rms/smoking_ policy.htm. �Secret ingredients in cosmetics: Secretly harmful? BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Do you know what dangers may be lurking in your toiletries? We all have probably heard the rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer. Although the rumor continues to circulate, an article published in the "Journal of the National Cancer Institute" (Vol. 94, No. 20: 1578-1580) in October o f2002 that the findings of a recent study did "not support the hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases the risk for breast cancer." Yet, the possibility that what we put on our skin may affect our health continues to loom. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of various U.S.-based environmental and public health groups, released a report in July 2002 titled "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products and the FDA." The article stated the findings of a May 2002 study of name-brand beauty products tested for the presence of phthalates, "a large family of industrial chemicals linked to permanent birth defects in the male reproductive system." Fifty-two out of the 72 products tested contained the chemical. Another group of chemicals to be wary of, warns the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, is parabens. These common preservatives including butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben - are known to be absorbed through the skin. Researchers in the U.K. discovered parabens in 20 human breast tumors. Though the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is careful to clarify that no single personal care product is likely to cause cancer, the group insists "we are being repeatedly exposed to chemicals from many different sources all the time." This implies Cosmetic Facts Apply makeup to desired area Repeat as often as needed Applications per bottle.............,......50 Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Soybean Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Purified Water, Zinc Stearate, Silk Powder, Carmine May contain: butylparaben, ethylparaben, metthylparaben, propylparaben, Ascorbyl Pamitate Daily Value (D.V.) not established that the danger in carcinogenic ingredients lies ultimately in how many and how much one is exposed to. In 2004, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics began asking companies that manu- facture personal care products to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. According to a January 2007 press release, by signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, companies would agree to the following: "meeting EU [the European Union prohibited the use of potentially health-hazardous ingredients in 2003] standards banning chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects globally; conducting an inventory of all ingredients to determine whether they use chemicals that pose health hazards including cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutation, reproductive toxicity, developmental harm and neurotoxicity; implementing substitution plans that replace chemicals of concern with safer alternatives; and reporting on their progress in meeting these goals to the public." Since 2004, over 500 companies signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but many still refuse. A list of companies that have signed the compact is available at http://www.safecosmetics.org. To inform the public ofpotentially dangerous ingredients in personal care products, the Environmental Working Group began a project known as "Skin Deep" (http:// www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep). Not only does the .project entail disseminating fact sheets about harmful ingredients, companies that err or reform, and safety gaps, but it also provides a database of thousands of products, labeling each with a safety-rating that takes into account each of the possibly dangerous ingredients within. "Skin Deep" will even provide custom shopping lists. Users simply select their criteria (e.g. the category of personal care product - Skin Care (Sun), Skin Care (Nourishing), Nail Care, Hair Care, etc. - "No animal testing," "Compact signer," "No known cancer hazards," etc.) and click "Get Shopping List." Just because a company labels its product "organic" or "natural", does not guarantee the product to be free of potentially harmful ingredients. �Finding your way through BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer If you arrive in Prague via the Ruzyne airport and you plan to take the bus 119 into town, whatever you do, find the orange bus ticket vending machine and buy a ticket first. Unfortunately, I did not do this and in my haze of jetlag and sleep deprivation I encountered an annoyed bus conductor; and, as I couldn't speak Czech and he couldn't speak English, the whole ordeal was pretty frustrating. However, the language of money is international and I forked over myfineo f500 Koruna ...a fine start to my trip indeed! The bus dropped me off at the underground train station and I proceeded to take the train, this time looking,out for any orange boxes in the vicinity. My adventure continued as I wandered around in search of the Hostel Advantage located on Sokolska 11. At this juncture I must advise all future travelers to take the time to learn a little Czech before you get to the country, my cramming on the plane just didn't cut it, although I did learn during my stay, and I learned fast! The first thing I did in Prague was seek out a feast of goulash. After all, I had long and excitedly suspected that the Eastern European food would be somewhat reminiscent of Scottish food (and equally as healthy) and I was not proved wrong. Taking the 10 minute trek towards the National Museum, the whole splendor of Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske Namesti) was revealed in its Christmas splendor. As a main thoroughfare in Prague, the 600-year-old Wenceslas Square was the scene of independence protests in 1918, and also the place where a student named Jan Palach set himself on fire on January 16, 1969 in protest of the Russian occupation. Look for the touching memorial to him on the ground in front of the National Museum. In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the Square is also the starting point for many city tours, along with the expected touristy shops, and restaurants. In winter, the large 'courtyard' becomes a Christmas market. It has a wonderful atmosphere; the chilly air is heavy with the invigorating aroma of mulled wine and pastries. People wander around, jubilant with festive music, and if you are lucky, it may even snow a little! I found a little restaurant that served goulash and settled in with a pint of famous Czech pilsner. Listening to the banter around me, I pulled out my phrase book and read a little, considering the days ahead whilst watching people scurry around the narrow street outside... There is a lot to see in Prague, and, if you are interested in architecture, this is one of the best cities to visit. A couple of days walking around, with or without a tour guide, will have your head spinning with the spectacular construction all around you. One such building that is always sought by visitors is the Astronomical Clock (Starometske namesti) in the Old Town Square. A bizarre and thought-provoking clock, it combines astronomical data with fixed and mechanical figures. The figures surrounding the clock are depictions of three of the seven cardinal sins and, on the right side, Death pulls a bell every hour on the hour while nodding his head to announce that time is up! Charles Bridge, lined with magnificent statues, is another spectacular sight that is also really f un to see on a cruise on the river Vltava (Pron: VOOLtava). A trip to the small town of Kutna Hora to see the famous Bone church is highly recommended. Words cannot do this place justice! The whole interior of the church is decorated with human bones! Other places worth -seeing include Prague Castle, which contains the 'centuries to complete' StVitus Cathedral. In addition, I highly recommend a trip to the Opera (I saw "Carmen") and the museums, such as the Museum of Communism. It is important to remember this difficult chapter in Czech history and the communism exhibit is excellent. It traces the beginnings of communism and its role in the history of the Czech people, along with discussing the resignation of the communist party after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The Czech Republic is a fabulous and ancient place; nowhere in the city can you avoid the echoes of the past. Prague commands respect and mesmerizes with both its amazing beauty and its tragic history, just keep a look out for the bus and train ticket machines! Clockwise from top: Church Portal. A bone chandelier in Kutna Hora. Charles Bridge in the rain. St. Vitrus Cathedral. An old townhouse.

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

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

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

Orfalea voiced his desire to donate a child care center to California State University San Marcos in visits with campus dignitaries and reporters. "That's my cause," Orfalea stated, and also noted that he has donated child care centers to other colleges and universities, Orfalea likes to think that it was his ability to notice what others overlooked, or not bothered to understand, that has given him the edge in business. Orfalea has built a small student-service copy center into a chain of more than one thousand stores located around the world. After years of heading Kinko's, Paul Orfalea says he is ready to hang up his CEO hat, and share his hard won success with others.

Some teach at as many as four institutions in a single week. They are sometimes called "freewayflyers"because they spend so much time traveling between jobs. Many have no contract, no benefits, no security, and, some say, no respect. They are adjunct faculty, and public colleges and universities are increasingly relying on them as inexpensive providers ofhigher education. Belinda Peters is one adjunct faculty member who has had enough ofwhat she calls the "deprofessionalization" of university teaching. She is leaving academia at the end ofthe semester after teaching history parttime at CSUSM for more than three years. Peters said she has no other choice but to seek work in another field because she has been unable tofinda full-time position as a history professor. "It was a hard decision, because I like teaching," Peters said. Many of Peter's students are upset that she is leaving.

This will open to traffic before the old bridge is destroyed and phase two, a second three-lane bridge, is built in its place. Phase two is expected to be completed in the spring of2001. In the near future, sporadic daytime closures can be expected at the east-bound on ramp for paving. Also the east-bound off ramp is subject to closures from 8:30am 3:00pm to allow for underground activity. These closures should not pose a major inconvenience, and dates for closures are always posted on the CSUSM web site. According to John Tiersman ofWier Construction they are only closing roads as the contract calls for it. "It is a city The Twin Oaks Valley Bridge of San Marcos contract and Cal Trans manages it." The demolition of the old bridge will be done only when phase one of the new bridge is fully functional. Phase one of the bridge is being built with a complete system ofpower lines (water, gas, telephone, and cable) so there will be no disruption in the power supply. It is all a matter of "San Diego Gas & Electric throwing a switch" according to Nichols. The demolition of the old bridge is a night job so thefreewaywill only be closed at night when the old bridge is destroyed. The old bridge will be taken apart, safely, piece by piece. It is a "fairly quick process," according to Nichols. Cathy Wier, the President of Wier Construction, urges all drivers to be patient with the current construction. "It is a construction sight, so be safe. Any cooperation from drivers is appreciated." PAUL BLANCHARD/raE PRIDE �Harry E.

From pg. 1 ness; and Valorie Ashley, Director ASI was not notified of Orfalea's it's the people that turn you on. of Development in the College of He claims, "The predilection is the busy work. People forget to see what the hell is going on. They're working too hard... There's something about sleep you know... People should lighten up and look around. Busy people see today and yesterday, not tomorrow." Orfalea has been looking around the CSUSM campus for several years. Bemoaning the absence of a child care center on campus, Orfalea said, "I can't image how a big institution can't afford child care." Although it is not clear at this time if a child care center will actually become a reality, during an informal interview prior to his seminar; Orfalea stated "I'm really with you on having day care here. I'm thinking about donating a child care center here." Others at the informal interview included local reporters; Regina Eisenbach, Interim Associate Dean of the College of Busi- Business. Upon learning that the campus had developed an off-campus child care program since his last visit, Orfalea wanted to know more about theASI Early Learning Center. Orfalea was excited to learn about the CSUSM students' consensus to support the campus child care center. "Maybe we can match the fees," he said with a smile. It has long been the hope and dream of Associated Students and the University community to have an on campus facility that could grow with student needs for quality child care services. The Office of University Development handles most fund raising for campus building projects. Negotiating for large donations is typically not the realm of Associated Students, though they have the charge offunding and operating campus child care. Indeed, rekindled interest in the university, or an on-campus child care facility. While ASI has made significant progress towards the goal of an oncampus center, Director of Development, Linda Fogerson says, "We are totally supportive ofhelping ASI bring a child care center to campus. We will do whatever we can to help make this dream a reality." Associated Students operates the ASI Early Learning Center, an off-campus facility for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center is licensed for 48 children, most of which are children of Cal State San Marcos students. Funding for the center comesfroma mixture of student fees, tuition at the Early Learning Center, and some donation funds. Student fees collected for child care are processed through the Associated Students' budget. I like the feel of the campus, smiled Orfalea. "I like the people; They'refriendly.It's a brand new culture." As he toured the campus, he noted that people walking on the track, walking to classes, and walking through the halls tend to walk in pairs or small groups intent on discussion. Orfalea has taught at numerous colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly. He noted that on his last trip to Stanford that most of the students there tend to walk alone. It is not yet clear if Orfalea intends to follow up on his desire to help CSUSM bring a child care center on campus. He'll have more time now to consider it. Orfalea wanted to tour the existing off-campus Early Learning Center, but his tight schedule prevented him His private jet was scheduled to take off on March 24 at 1:30pm Tuesday, April 11,2000 5 W o r d s rc> L ive B y June Hodges Always do your best.

Whatever reaction you feel determines Greekfraternities/sororitiesfor Blacks and Latinos would be student-led outreach and retention organizations that would give minorities an opportunity to bond while engaging in community service. More importantly, it would give many minorities the motivation to stay in college and not drop out. A Black sorority can be a cultural oasis, according to a graduate student who was in a Black sorority at another university. She said she sometimes felt isolated, alone, or different in a classroom where she was sometimes the only black female student. There are also certain manifes- tations of cultural affirmation that cannot be providedfroman individual of another culture. It is idealistic to think that everyone who is willing to bond through "brotherhood/ sisterhood" would do so in a cultural melting pot organization. I am in afraternitysuch as this: the Brotherhood of the Highest Order, the EJand of Brothers, Leathernecks, the United States Marine Corp. But, in reality, individuals in minority cultural groups who have grown up with their own kind can only bond in this matter or are forced to due to economic circumstances. For President Gonzales to block the expan- sion of the Greek System because of his cultural experience or his unwillingness to acknowledge this reality demonstrates a total disregard for the experience of other cultural groups growing up in the United States. Most CSU and UC schools have black and Latino fraternities/ sororities. Expanding the system would more than likely attract and retain these groups at CSUSM. Is that what the administration is afraid of? Joel A.

Based on the true story of an educated man living as a bohemian on the streets of New York City in the 1940's, the story focuses on the relationship that develops when Joseph Mitchell, a writer for the New Yorker Magazine, does a story about Joseph Gould. Gould, better known as Professor Seagull because he is said to know the language of the birds, is an eccentric man who chooses to live on the streets. He has given up his life as a scholar so that he may record the conversations of ordinary people. His life's obsession, the record of common dialogue is what Gould considers the "true history" of people, "The Oral History of Our Time." In a state between madness and genius, and surviving on money given to him by friends and strangers, Joe Gould takes Mr. Mitchell (and the viewer) on a whirlwind tour of New York society. From overcrowdedflophousesto high society parties, every moment of thisfilmis genuine and well done. Ian Holm, spectacular in his display of emotion, is both captivating and convincing as Joe Gould. Stanley Tucci, who also stars as Joe Mitchell, directed thisfilmwith an artful eye, paying attention to the minutest details. From voyeuristic cinematography to splendid costumes, thisfilmhit every mark. There was not one poor performance in this two-hour movie. Although Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin make short guest performances, this is not a mainstream movie and will probably not appear in theaters for long. So go to theaters while you can and pay the outrageous price to see Joe Gould's Secret-it is worth every single cent.

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

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

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

The vision of the Women's Center was shared by committee founders, Leah Avalez, Cheyenne Barr, Heidi Doyle, Sara Leonard, Lissa Lim, DiDi Lund, Sara Mead, and Lori Walkington. "I am proud of the complete support that we found in creating the Women's Center," said Cheyenne Barr, co-founder of the Women's Center. "We received support from every angle possible." The Women's Center was established to educate, advocate, and empower women and men by offering programming and a safe environment, according to the center's mission statement. The focus of the center is to improve conversations and relationships between various gender, ethnic, and sexual orientation groups on campus, increase awareness on issues that primarily affect women on campus, pursue equity for all women through support, programming, advocacy, and discussion, provide resources for women's intellectual, professional, and personal success, ajad serve as 3 ljftison f or students to existing campus services. "The Women's Center is for anyone and everyone," said Barr. "We want to make sure that people bring all of their cultures to the table. In that, this center is not just for women. It is for women and men, and all genders, and all sexual orientations and all sexual identities; all people can find amazing information here and can feel safe here." The Women's Center has posted their new hours of Monday 10-1; Tuesday 10-2 and 3-5; Wednesday 10-5; Thursday 11-2 and 3-5, and Friday 1-3. "Just as this new campus grows with each student that comes in and makes a difference, this center will change and mold to whomever comes in and says something. If someone says something is missing, we will listen to them, and we will bring it in. So, the students have complete power; this is a new center, and we invite all people from all situations to come and be a part of this dream." w ow SOLARIUMS * SUPER CLEAN * Smart Tan Certified 1 Exclusive anti-aging Mystic Solution (Tanning Beds or MYSTIC Tani * Our Mystic is not sticky & odor-free!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Though I had nothing to base any expectations on, I was t errified at what I might find. My fears, however, were cancelled! What?! After finishing my last midterm on March 23, my husband met me with the bad news. I was in shock the whole way home! I was already packed to leave that weekend for our honeymoon in the Caribbean, and now, because someone didn't discard their cigarette properly, our cruise ship and my honeymoon had been ruined . .. or so I thought. As it was spring break most everything was booked, but after staying up all night searching on the internet we finally found a cruise line that had a couple rooms l eft for more than half off. The Costa Mediterranea was an Italian ship I had never heard of, but being desperate to salvage our honeymoon, we sent an e-mail to Vacationstogo.com to book the cruise. Phew!

A fter two days at sea, we reached our first port, St. Maarten. The hot sticky air made us feel like were instantly somewhere tropical, far, f ar away. Shopping there was exciting, with exotic items like Guava b erry r um and Cuban cigars, and everything was duty f ree and negotiable. We spent the major- sleek, whitegloved tuxes.

Even though my husband and I did not participate in the legal nudity, we sure e n j oy ed sitting back and o bserving those who did. The next port we arrived at was Tortola, where we took a quoise water, so clear you didn't even need goggles to see the bottom. The shopping there was more expensive than St. Maarten, but Pusser's Rum is a must buy! Our last port, the Bahamas island of Nassau, was my favorite. There we took a f erry to Paradise Island and spent the day exploring the Atlantis Resort and Casino. It was astonishing, like Las Vegas on a little island. If you're in the market for jewelry then this is the plaqe to shop. The prices are a steal and it's all legit; real jewels, gold and silver. Before we knew it, we were leaving the ship and on the plane ride home. The Caribbean is a must see and a cruise is the best value.

Stranded in the town of Taft: My time in a boom BY DAVID BAUER Special to The Pride My first experience with a resident f rom Taft would provide an accurate prediction for the rest of my stay there. I had been driving up to visit my parents, who were temporarily staying in the town of Taft, when my car broke down. The tow truck operator's name was "Eddie." He was a polite and simple man, and had no bottom teeth. On the thirty mile drive into Taft he excitedly told me about the town's big upcoming event: the demolition derby. He also received three incoming calls on the ride, one of which was a car that had driven into a house, another to haul a stolen car that had been torched. I wondered if it was typical for him to receive this amount of business on a Sunday night in a town of 6,500 residents. I also wondered why a man whose j ob involves cars that are destroyed would be so excited about watching cars get destroyed. In hindsight, a fter actually staying in Taft, I completely understand. In 1909, the Southern Pacific company laid out the town-site and somewhat prophetically named it "Moron." A year later it was renamed " Taft" when the town was incorporated. Built in an oil rich area of California, 40 miles southwest of Bakersfield, it produced millions of barrels of oil in its time. The Lakeview Gusher alone produced 9,000,000 barrels of oil, the largest ever in the world. It was even the setting of the 1986 small town football film "The Best of Times," but the town has clearly seen better times. A s the oil production slowed, and the middle class relocated as local companies were bought out, Taft . u ^ j j g l quickly became a boom gone bust. The downtown area, with two and three story brick façades crumbling, is now a shell of its former self. Years ago the town built a skate park and BMX track for kids to use for free, but now struggles to keep their one theater open.

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

The material for the show is gathered f rom old, ugly and u ntrue tabloid stories about Tori and it's used to make a scripted, comedic, reality series. This is the first show of this t ype for talents go beyond her last name. There are doubts that this show will be as successful as "Curb your Enthusiasm," in fact, some critics have lumped Spelling's show with Lisa Kudrow's brief attempt at a mock reality show. Never heard of it? That's because it only lasted a couple episodes. The question remains, will Spelling's show share the same fate as that of Kudrow's?

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

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 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.

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

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

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

"Depression and anxiety goes along with advanced eating disorders," said Blattner. Currently there are no programs specific to eating disorders. Any new programs will be advertised on SHS website.

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

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!

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. Perhaps we should propose a bill that prevents politicians from "indoctrinating."

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

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

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

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

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

Unlike your typical rise and fall of a mafia leader, such as "Scarface," Lefty i |§ already knows i^HHI he failed in " S ÊSiÈÊ^MmmÈm i 11 , 1 * IBIB W life.

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.

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. "In terms of attacks on the O W E N HEMSATH P R I D E STAFF W R I T E R Students interested in extensive video and media production careers will have new classes and a few new minors to ctjoose from next semester, according to an email sent out S lSi^eek fcKselect students of California State JSan Marcos. | The e mSf; sent b y professors m the Visual arid Perfbrming ^ots, ( £aa|||g|iia Sad Comtiteiëàtion d ep^^feits,invited students in I h o ^ p r t a i e n t s t o p meeting h e l | l asj Tuesday where professoi» aniiounced ^tbe details of ofjnew classed will be introduced n « & Î l al^Bi^the-addltièh cation, Mass Media and Film Studies students, and the new classes will cover a broad range of media related fields including film production, music composition and media distribution. * Diekman also made it clear that not all lower level classes apply to the aforementioned majors would satisfyl the new minor requirements and advised all interested students«) meet with one of their professors as soon as possible to select their preferred courses f ornext term.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

The three licensed psychologists, along with t hree interns, working at SHS have provided an open ear to several different cases, f rom stress management and sexual f rustration to eating disorders and substance abuse. Problems don't always need to have f ace value, but can pertain to events f rom one's past. Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says, "Many students use our services to t alk about past concerns, such as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e a ffecting them now.... You name it, and w e'll work with it." Although there isn't anywhere closer for students to go, SHS will o ften bring special events and presentations to the campus. Support groups are also available. While the recent f ee increase couldn't b ring SHS onto the campus immediately, it has helped the counseling department. "It is likely that the fee increase will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely needed," said Kreisler.

" I don't t hink it's a wise decision, regardless of what the survey says. I don't t hink we should go to referendum at all," said E rin Dalman, ASI vice president of communications.

We've had issues with having our meetings disrupted by the ruckus and commotion that regularly tends to go on in the lounge."

Roper responded to such sentiment in the board meeting, saying, "I hope that the people that frequent the lounge don't think that this is a punishment geared toward any specific group of individuals." Poggi said concordantly, "My experience with them is that we've worked together to find solutions. I would certainly disagree that they're being discriminated against." In an amicable concession among Lounge Krew members and ASI VP of finance Crystal Folk, a formal Student Lounge Committee was initiated at Friday's board meeting, to be chaired by LK member Michael Kosich ("Dr. K"). Dr. K addressed the board with a motion to activate the committee, saying, "I would like to offer my help in any way as a member of the Lounge Krew on campus."

C a r e e r a n d T r a n s f e r S t u d e n t Servio®» C ai S taite S a n fiflarcss �VARIETY Students balancing parenting and higher education BY MICHELLE V ELARDE Pride Staff Writer They look like typical college students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend hours in the library, hunched over a computer, researching for reports. They complain about the b rutal commute they face every morning on the freeways of San Diego County. These students, however, have a d ifferent situation—they are parents as well as students. Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse group. It is impossible to make generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell. D oing it all: the world of a single mother Claudia Pawlowski, biology major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is nowhere close to being over. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Claudia wakes up early to take her nine-year-old daughter to school. A fterwards, she drives f rom El Cajon to San Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class. "Everything is on the go," she said. "My life is overwhelming." When her school day ends in the evening, Claudia then travels to hospitals throughout San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night observing people with sleeping disorders, while she herself only sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. Claudia's mother helps her raise her daughter, but Claudia said that most of the work falls on her own shoulders. She said that being a single parent means that she needs to b e her daughter's "mom, dad, brother and sister." Her responsibility as a parent o ften means that school is extremely difficult. "Getting an A is almost impossible," she said. "We both have homework together." She recalled a time when her daughter had a science project due the next day, and she herself had three assignments to finish. Even though continuing her education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she Photo by Michelle Velarde/ The Pride Ryan T homas a nd his d aughter, C anessa, g rocery shop t ogether w hile m om is a t w ork.

A new perspective on education: a married father finishes his education When Ryan Thomas, 26, business major, and his w ife went out on a rare date to see the movie "American Pie," they were asked for their IDs. "We're not what th Tuesday, April 20 from llam-lpm Come on out to the L lDFSry 1 6IT8C6 To Join ASI in celebrating Earth Day at our, 'Ifs-Not-Earth-Day-But-We-Still-Care' event (Earth Day is actually on Thursday, 4/22 this year) you typically t hink of as parents," Ryan said. "We do blend in." Ryan was p art of CSUSM's first f reshman class in 1995. " I was j ust kind of struggling to find my major and my place in the world," he recalled. He later l eft CSUSM in favor of bigger schools in San Luis Obispo. W hen his g irlfriend, a sophomore at CSU Long Beach, became pregnant, she wanted to finish her degree, and Ryan started working f ull-time to support their soon-to-be family. Now, he finds himself back where he started college, CSUSM, with a four-year-old daughter, a college-educated w ife working to support him, and a d ifferent perspective on his education. " My attitude has changed since I was a f reshman," he said. " I'm more focused on my education now t han I probably was back then." "Being a father, and having responsibilities, and having a daughter and having to work without a degree—it put a lot of things in perspective," he said. "Being a parent makes you a better person, and I really believe that, because you look at your kids, and you see what you want t hem to b e like, and you think of yourself at the same time. If I want my kid to b e committed to school and committed to learning, then I have to show that through example." Ryan is taking 19 units, and sees school as his job. He considers himself fortunate to have a supportive wife, because he doesn't think he could do it without her. A s for his daughter, who attends the Extended Learning Center, she is interested in her dad's school life. He recalled her saying, 'Dad, you have six teachSee P ARENTS, page 7 LET'S TILL THE GOVERNOR TO KEEP PUBLIC EDUCATION PUBLIC, NO TO BUDGET CUTS ! E D AFFORDABLE EDUCATION!

Q BT V N M1M A ' By ERIC MERCADO Pride Ombudsman study guide before an exam. Study guides are designed t o help students b efore an exam. They clearly state what the professor thought was important enough for students to study. Study guides cut through the B.S. and avoid curveball questions by professors. Questions should cover material relevant to the professor's teachings and what we have learned. O ften, teachers expect students to k now w hat's on the test without giving clarification. Then they ask a question that they d idn't even cover. Nevertheless, the answer to the N o matter what courses you may b e taking this semester. Many professors opt to hand out study guides before exams. Are these study guides helping students learn or diminishing their education? Throughout my college career, I've had professors give me a question was in the book. Of course, the right answer was on the last page of chapter 12. A fter studying the last 11 chapters for the exam, my eyes must have b een blurred due to the strain. A study guide clarifies what a teacher expects of you to know for the exam. Although study guides may seem like an easy cop out f or studying, the f act of the matter is: you still have to study, gather answers, understand, and c larify the material t o do well. Study guides eliminate time and stress on students who overload their brain with Studentin Spain: inadequate material that a professor may not include in an exam. I applaud teachers who prepare, aid and guide students in a clear direction before a big test. Study guides have b een a big factor for me doing well tests. I know if a teacher gives me a study guide and I don't do well, it's not because the teacher failed, it's because I failed to gather the information and knowledge to succeed. If I know a fastball is coming with no curves, then I control destiny of the outcome. IÉBÈÈÈÈ 1 have learntf I have learned a tremendous amount in the seven months I have been abroad and my learning is f ar f rom over. I can now find my way around the city without a map. I know where to buy cheap groceries. I have learned t o mop instead of vacuum, hand wash the dishes instead of putting them in a dishwasher, and hang up my clothes to d ry because there is no dryer. I have gotten used to seeing legs of h am h ung u p in every bar, market, and g rocery store; shopping f or m ilk that is kept on t he shelf and not in the r efrigerated section; and bagging m y own groceries when it is t ime t o check out. Going t o b ed b efore 1 a.m. now seems early, and waking u p at 5 p.m. a fter a night out on the town is ok. Sundays are for resting; since n othing is open there is nothing to do anyway.

From food and t ravel to culture and acceptance, McGuire says t he e xperience is well w orth it. heating and I now treasure a good heating system and the reassurance of always having hot water. I have learned that cars are not essential, there are other ways of getting around, the best of which is the use of your own two feet. W hen traveling around to other countries, I have learned to always go with your gut feeling. I have learned that there are many closed minded people in the world, some of whom will never change. I have felt the harsh discriminating treatment of being a woman and the prejudices against Americans. I have also met some of the people I admire the most and had some of the best times of my life! Living in a foreign country is not always easy, especially when you haven't yet mastered the language, but for me it has been well worth it. I understand a little bit better how the world works, not j ust how the United States works. I have now seen the s uffering of two nations when their people are attacked by terrorism, and I have witnessed first hand the protests of thousands of people against terrorism and violence. I have learned that you should never let people treat you poorly, even if you don't know how to stand up for yourself, you have the right to. The world can b e b eautiful or it can b e horrendous, sometimes it is j ust a matter of perception. These months I have spent in Spain have enriched my life in many ways and I would advise anyone t hinking about studying abroad to go for it because it will open your eyes to things you would have never known. Lily Mc Guire, CSUSM Student Studying abroad in Spain By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman I t hink last week's issue of T he Pride is a sufficient example of the solidification of a semester's worth of work. There is a f eeling of maturation as we come into the final issues of the semester with a good balance of content and a refined process of p utting the paper together. I feel we are moving in the right direction: what do you feel? I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but I did not receive a word on this article. In the past, readers have expressed concern over articles that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e. the penis pump and the sex doll articles), yet criticism connected with Spink's article has b een nonexistent. Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually attended the event, I would say that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am confident that the f ew h undred other people in attendance would agree with me. I can u nderstand if there were some a ffronted b y such a workshop; however, the pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in humans w arrants t he necessity of education on the matter. T hus, I feel the event was suitable f or our campus and the related article does not t arnish our image. What do you t hink? My e -mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu.

Chavez, MEChA and Residential Life Multicultural Programs sponsored the fourth annual Cesar Chavez commemorative event at the Kellogg Library Terrace on Wednesday Apr. 7. This event entitled "Celebrating Cesar E. Chavez & Continuing the Legacy of Social Justice" was a f ree event which included three performances, a guest speaker and a candlelight vigil. The performances included Mariachi Del Sol, a very friendly and interactive mariachi group of beautifully dressed and great performers. A talented group of young local rappers from Escondido called So Kal which mixed Spanish and English in their rhymes. The performances were followed by a guest speaker, Photo by LoriAnn Samano/The Pride Lorena Meza, who was very Mariachi Del Sol plays traditional Mexican music a t t he Forum Plaza in f ront of t he library. informative about the achievements of Cesar Chavez.

Ultra Vires keep Rock 'n' Roll alive By LAURA WHITAKER Pride Staff Writer "All I really want to do is feel the music," said Aimee Harlib, one of two lead singers in the new band UltraVires, as she got ready for practice in a short skirt and tight shirt which read, "My last boyfriend was all brawn. The next one is going to be all brains." With a name that means "beyond authority" and a self- declared message of "rock ' n' roll" this four month old band, has already had gigs at Brick by Brick in San Diego and the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in Hollywood.

Photo courtesy of Grace Gale By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer "Holy Generic Hardcore Batman!" Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound Ever," proves there are too many generic hardcore bands trying to make it big. Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that follow formulaic song structures, and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of heavy breakdowns, emotionless choruses, and nonexistent melodies. The third track entitled "MRSA in Minor," includes a guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be recorded, ever. The vocals are lackluster and fail to convey the deep lyrical content that sparks emotion in the heart of every hardcore fan. Single tear. Listeners will find relief in the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick drum and fast fills, breathe some life into the album. The inability to obtain any information about the band f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less appealing. The boys in Grace Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some time on the production of their next album if they want to "make i t" in the world of hardcore. Although it failed to catch the attention of this critic, it may be of interest to fans of Norma Jean, Poison The Well, Iron Maiden and Converge.

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.

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.

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

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

The two athletes, who have both already qualified in multiple events for the NAIA National Championships, continued their b rilliant debut seasons on Saturday against a f ield of teams that included UCSD, Point Loma, Cal Baptist, and others. Campfield won the 1,500 with a time of 3:50.22, while Harbor won the 400meter hurdles with a time of 52.84 seconds. Harbor also took t hird in the 110-meter hurdles at 14.18 seconds. Finishing right behind Campfield in the 1,500 was Dave Edwards, who took second with a time of 3:52.70. K rystle Osby also notched a top-5 f inish, placing f ifth in the 100-meter dash at 12.27 seconds. That time is j ust l/100thof a second off the "A" standard for Nationals.

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.

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

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

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

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

I am a Literature and Writing major here at CSUSM, and even more eager than last year, to re-elected! Ifeel that I am more than qualified for this position, considering I was the first person elected into the office. Over the past year I have helped to develop the Internal Vice President Position, and I have many more things that I hope to accomplish. I personally feel that I have attributed a great deal to the Associated Students during the past year, and I look forward to getting the chance to serve the students again. The position of Internal Vice-President is a very time consuming office. Some of the duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to overseeing all campus committees (including appointing committee members), campus-wide Public Relations, aid the President in his/her responsibilities, duties, and powers, chair the Communications Committee (which will be very pertinent next year and much much more. During the past year. I have fcvned a lot about student government, and I would really like the opportunity to serve as the year. Also, during this year in office, I have had the opportunity to attend the CHESS (California Higher Education Student Summit) conference, meet with our legislatures locally and at Sacramento, and attend a variety of rallies at different Universities in support Of our students voice. I also put on a Proposition 203 rally here at CSUSM and I think that it was a success (considering Prop. 203 passed). I feel that I am a hard-working, dedicated student, who is honest and willing to listen to everything that students say. I have enjoyed my experience this past year on Associated Students, watching it grow (i.e.: Intramural Sports, Child Care), and I feel that I have made a difference for the students here at Cal State San Marcos.

The debate was held to discuss the different aspects of the war, f rom both a conservative and a liberal perspective. The event was mediated by each of the College Republicans and PAN presidents, Sean Mattingly and Manal Yamout respectively. Each organization supplied one speaker to debate the war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer and former chairman of the California Republican Party represented the sentiments of the College Republicans. Sean Bell, veterans advocate and vice president of the San Diego Veterans for Peace, chapter 91, spoke on the behalf of PAN. Bell is also a former marine who served actively in 1990-1994, including time in Iraq. shouting and name-calling at both speakers. Steel commented that the protestors had a "complete separation from reality" and a "hatred of America." Several students yelled back "Who hates America?" In response to the question, "Why has this war inspired the biggest anti-war movement?" Steel responded that is was not anti-war but "pro-tyranny." A student yelled that the debate was a "travesty, [that] students should be speaking, [and that] there [was] too much control." Both Mattingly and Yamout repeatedly asked the audience to be respectful, but it was often out of their control. The speakers did not always disagree. Bell commented on anti-war speeches given by former Presidents James Madison and Dwight Eisenhower, to which Steel conceded that they were appropriate references. They also agreed that questioning the government was not anti-patriotic. Bell said that a "government left unquestioned is not a The audience, which democracy," and that it is the numbered well over 100 and duty of an American citizen to at times grew to 300, was question.

There was an obvious division within the audience. Bell repeatedly urged Throughout the debate there the audience to question was often booing in the everything, including both midst of applause as well as See WAR DEBATE, page 2 By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer During the 1930's, Nazis burned the works of famous intellectuals in an attempt to keep their words and thoughts from corrupting the citizenry. It has been 70 years since this infamous book-burning, but book burnings still occur in this country on rare occasions, one of the most recent taking place in January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and some of Shakespeare's works, claiming that they were "satanic depictions." Book burning was more effective before the days of mass printing, and is currently used primarily as a shock tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been much more common. Using legal means to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity laws, regulating their own punishments and standards, which applied to books, devices, and films. » —•• | In 1957, the Supreme Court declared that if a work of art had significant social value, it was not obscene. The case was revisited in 1960, when the Court added that it was necessary to censor material "lacking in social value" or that was "no essential part of the exposition of ideas." This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not defensible by the First Amendment. Schools and public libraries often ban books with questionable content that they consider obscene. In the interest of protecting minors, local school boards have authority in deciding whether or not a work is obscene in their district. In the decentralized educational system, small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After the implication of the Pico standard in 1975, where a high school student took his school board to court for banning a book, school boards are allowed to ban works based on vulgar content, but not for subversive ideas. When presenting the case for banning a book, pressure groups have to be careful to attack the work's content, not its ideas.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines SARS as, "A respiratory illness that has recently been reported in Asia, North America, and Europe." There are a total of 2,781 cases of SARS worldwide, with 170 possible cases reported currently in the United States and 37 suspected cases in California. Currently the virus has claimed 111 lives worldwide, but no deaths have been reported in the United States. In San Diego there has been one possible case of SA«B. The San Diego County Public Health Services (PHS) announced on April 7 that they were investigating a possible case of SARS in a woman who had been in China recently, and whose name remains anonymous in order to protect her privacy, is now isolated until her symptoms subside and the test results are confirmed. As of April 9, the PHS reported that the woman's condition has improved and that there are no signs of a fever at this point.

Symptoms and signs Book Burners Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

When asked if a special interest group, such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not to say we would agree to remove the book." Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law. Among the most frequently banned books in public school libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship.

The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) annual meeting on April 4-6 was the largest conference that Cal State San Marcos has ever hosted. Approximately 700 scholars from various academic disciplines across the world met at San Marcos to present and hear each other's papers surrounding the ACLA theme for 2003, "Crossing Over." CSUSM scholars included seven graduate students from three different departments and eleven faculty members from four different departments.

Comparative Literature is interdisciplinary study throughout a mixture of different academic disciplines, which includes literatures,film,histories, politics, psychology, and philosophy, where texts are studied in their original languages. Comparative Literature as an institutional discipline is about David Damrosch spoke on Saturday evening, April 5, at VSAR 240 in a lecture entitled "The Road of Excess: Comparative Literature at a Double Crossroad" about the ways in which translations of texts into English in the U.S. politicize and reveal attitudes towards people from other countries. Damrosch also noted that three-fifths of the conference papers this year had focused on the last 50 years of the 20th century and reminded the audience that older subject matter departments called "Literature" - be it Dante or Chaucer - i n the original language. In the Late 19th Century, universities changed and English-only departments began to pop up. According to CSUSM Professor Heather Richardson Hayton, the important benefits of ACLA at Cal State San Marcos is that it offers national recognition, See COMPARATISTS, page 4 Sponsored by: Cal State San Marcos Career and Assessment Center, Enterprise Rent~A~Car, GEICO Direct, North County Inland and Coastal Career Centers, and San Marcos Chamber of Commerce J OB & R E S O U R C E FM 2Q0&\ Tuesday, A p r & M W 12 h 4 : 0 0 f n i In the past, the conference took place on the likes of such campuses as Notre Dame and Yale, but in the late Fall 2000, a bid was placed for San Marcos and the association had agreed. This past ACLA meeting was the first time this event had ever taken place at a California State University. The keynote speakers for the event were Mark Poster from UC Irvine and David Damrosch, a Columbia professor and the ACLA's outgoing president. With his public lecture titled "The Information Empire," Poster spoke just before the ACLA banquet at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Friday, April 4, the first official day of the conference. 100 years old, according to Professor Hayton, and the ACLA was founded in 1960. In Europe, the studies of literature were known as "Philology" and only done in literature departments. According to one audience member at Damrosch's lecture, the European "comparatists" primarily focus on philology today, a difference she sees with the Americans.

Part 2: The Administration By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer The quest for knowledge as to the history and idea of a potential pub at CSUSM continues. A small percentage of a powerful and growing student voice has been expressed thus far, and now the issue becomes clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers the question: Where's The Booze? CSUSM Senior Director for Health, Counseling, and Disability Services Susan Mitchell was more than delighted to help answer this question. She noted that the San Marcos campus is by no means a dry campus. In fact, with proper approval, beer and wine may be served on campus. In addition, the new student housing will not have a prohibition on alcohol. There is, however, a long list of rules that accompany these allowances. Policy states that alcohol consumption is allowed in student housing, as long as the person is at least 21 years old. In addition, large quantities of alcohol may not be brought into the housing. These large quantities pertain mostly to kegs of beer. How the school plans make a judgment on large quantities of hard alcohol and wine is somewhat of a mystery. The school policy for alcohol consumption on campus differs dramatically from the student housing policy. Alcohol consumption by anyone on the CSUSM campus is prohibited, even if the person is 21 years of age. The exception to this rule is if alcohol is being served at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a school sponsored function, and with approval from the president's office. Approval for consumption of alcohol at such an event must be requested at least four weeks in advance. There also must be approval for the use of facilities, along with approval from several different administrative offices. Even then, only beer and wine may be served, and it must be served by a properly licensed distributor or catering service. Although Mitchell provided excellent information on issues relating to alcohol within educational institutions, she also found herself stumped as to why there is no pub on the San Marcos campus. She offered the suggestion that a pub may have never been suggested by anyone, up to this point. A fter a lengthy interview with Mitchell, she summed up her feelings on the topic by saying, "It's not so much However, the main point that I am against a pub, but remains that CSUSM is not it would take some cona dry campus.

He did, however, express confidence when saying that he believed that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Instead he believed that it has been a topic that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus from time to time, but never taken beyond that. Community perceptions of CSUSM, campus safety, drunken driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by a pub, have all been suggested as reasons why Cal State San Marcos has no pub. However, the best answer that could be provided was that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Whether or not a pub is something that students would like to see at CSUSM is debatable. What is clear, is that formally suggesting the idea is the first step, and may be the only way to fully answer the question: "Where's The Booze?"

Thus not every one wanted to go to Iraq and MILITARY fight. C ONCERN D ON'T ABUSE YOUR F REEDOMS I was pleased at the overwhelming turnout of students at the April 9th war debate sponsored by the College Republicans and PAN. The event was very well organized and for the most part ran smoothly. Unfortunately, there were some people who chose to disrupt the assembly by inappropriately shouting out rude, personal, and unfair comments, as well as obscene gestures to Mr. Steel. As Americans, we have the right to speak freely, but this does not mean that we have the right to use abusive speech or encroach and trample on other people's rights. While I must commend the majority of the liberals attending the event for not participating in such immature tactics, I also find it interesting that the only individuals who chose to act in such a manner were the very same people who advocated for "peace." But then it was just last week that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat advocator of peace, said that the U.S. also needs a "regime change," which by definition involves forcibly removing a dictator from power. While the "corporate media" is quick to show protesters in the streets of New York or San Francisco, the truth is that 78 percent of Americans support the war with Iraq, and 69 percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is conducting the war (4/03/03, Opinion Dynamics Poll). Since these abusive words of treason came from a Democratic presidential candidate, it really is no surprise that liberals on campus would follow the example of this country's left wing leadership, and encroach on Mr. Steel's rights. Your words and actions spoke louder than the "peaceful" protest signs of your movement, and you truly showed the true character of the bleeding heart liberal. Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the streets of Baghdad at the toppling of Saddam's statue, and the end of Saddam's evil, tyrannical regime. May God bless the now free people of Iraq, as much as He has Dear Editors: that the Iraqi regime might hold against us? What are our soldiers dying for? Sure 82 casualties doesn't compare to the previous wars Americans have fought in, but that is still 82 dead people and counting, and thousands more lives of friends and family that have been drastically affected. I know that many people join the military for lots of reasons, many of which don't include protecting the country, like benefits, a stable pay check, to make something out of their lives, to travel, to get financial help to go to school through the G.L Bill, and as a way out from any pressure at home. Soldiers are owned, which is why they're called military property; their job comes first no matter what, and they don't have much of a say in it either. One can argue that even if our first motive for the war wasn't to disarm Saddam, it is still our motive to free the people from Saddam's tyranny and oppression. We have the ability and so it is our responsibility. That is a valid point. The people of Iraq have been oppressed by their own ruler and have the right to be free. Many Iraqis would want to live free and not under Saddam's regime. If we never find WMD then of course our motive is to free Iraq, but it wasn't like that in the first place. It' just funny how later on in the war the ideal of freeing Iraq was emphasized more than finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction. Dear Editors, Furthermore I can't help to feel bad for all the people I don't want to get into a who are going through whole discussion about troubles and upsets in Iraq. whether Americans should I do however have friends be supporting the war in in the military. Personally, I Iraq or be against it. There find it difficult to keep away are many reasons why one from the news because I should take a certain side. want to know what's going Those who are for the war, on; however, I know the like President Bush, feel media here is manipulated that our national security is to be pro-American. From threatened and that because what I can see on TV I have we are capable, it is our duty an idea of what's waiting to protect our country from for my friends. Although those who can and might I don't support the war, I use their weapons of mass do support the troops and destruction against us or all other people who are other countries. trying to help in some way the troops or the civilians Because of the events of Iraq. that occurred on 9/11 the president and his I try to put myself in administration don't want their place and I honestly to risk another similar wouldn't be able to handle event, especially if it can leaving everything behind, be prevented.

Or what about Bush had had enough, and having to kill someone eventually declared war on who is not in the enemy's Iraq without the backing of militia? Not knowing the U.N. So now we are in who the enemy is must be the fourth week of war, and traumatizing with suicidal the stipulations of war are kids and women who aren't becoming more evident. typical candidates [for suicide attacks]. Beyond Thousands of Iraqis have the obvious circumstances died and are POWs, about of war, what about those 82 Americans have died, not in the military like the mostly from friendly reporters who have had to fire, and hundreds more report on the death of other injured. Some say that in reporters?

What if we never The case is that no position find weapons of mass in time of war is safe, destruction (WMD)? What not even as reporters or if the government was maintenance mechanics, wrong the whole time in that who have suffered more there was no present danger If this is the case, and our troops are not dying solely to defend national security, but to liberate the people of Iraq then what do we do with the rest of the world? If we liberate Iraq, then we must do the same for the countries if tyranny or dictatorship crops up. And evidently we are not. There are many places, like in Africa (specifically Congo), where the people have been oppressed by their government for decades. I would like to express my concern for those who have friends, family or some one special in Iraq. I'm sure every one has mixed feelings or opinions about the war itself as well as those who have their loved ones fighting the war. I myself don't have any family members in Iraq nor in the military but I can't help to think about those who do. I worry about the troops because I know they aren't all coming back safely, many families and Cynthia Tirado friends will mourn a loss. I Freshman, Undeclared particularly can sympathize with many people who feel afflicted by the war because NATIONAL I have mourned a loss, the SECURITY loss of my sister. So after this war, if we don't help other countries that are in a similar state like Iraq, then we would be hypocrites. And if we decide to be global police officers, then it would be hypocritical in a sense that are problems within our own country that are not being dealt with as best they could. These are just some of my views as an irrelevant civilian. Jordan Boone Freshman, Undeclared victim's mouth and asks, " How do you feel?" I give you ten guesses how the victim felt. I look forward to the change around the campus. I think the new on campus housing will bring a different atmosphere to the campus, making it become more alive. Having students on campus around the clock will also bring it to another level to make it feel more like a "real" Cal State campus. I sincerely believe that the news media is like any other business. It is in the business of making news to make money. It cannot function without the big time ads and subscription. The news media in general attempts to tell the truth and tell it like it is, but this is not necessary.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The event was co-sponsored by several campus groups, including the Office of the Dean of Students, MEChA, the Arts and Lecture Series, Associated Students Inc., and was made possible through funding from the Governor’s Office on Ser­ vice and Volunteerism (GO SERV). The celebration took place on Wednesday from 1:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. in front of Craven Hall, by the flagpole.

Bell, a former assistant director of Student and Resi­ dential Life at CSUSM, filed the lawsuit on October 12, 2000. He was hired at Cal State San Marcos in June 1997 and later resigned in January 2001. Bell claimed to be a victim of dis­ crimination and harassment, and he believed these problems made his working conditions intolerable. Bell also claimed -that his complaints were not taken seriously, only redirected, and that he was denied promo­ tions and raises because of his race. According to the jury, there was no evidence or proof that Bell’s intolerable problems were caused by .any racially moti­ vated decisions made by his supervisors. Furthermore, one of the jury members said the defense had presented a better case, which ultimately led CSUSM to win. The jury came to a deci­ sion after about 4 Vi hours of deliberation, but the verdict has not stopped Bell’s accusations against CSUSM; he has decided to continue with the case. “I feel I have continued to be betrayed by employees there,” said Bell. “I feel that this isn’t the end.

The event is the first in what PAN hopes will become an annual event intended to encourage CSUSM students, as well as the surround­ ing community, to be more envi­ ronmentally conscious. The 4-1-1 coincided with National Alternative Fuel Vehi­ cle Day and came just prior to Earth Day. Some students who attended the event were given the opportunity to test drive a new hybrid vehicle, the Prius, from Toyota, which was provided courtesy of Toyota of Escon­ dido. The name “Prius” means “to go before” in Latin, and is so named because it is Toyota’s first standard production hybrid. Although it looks compact on the outside, it has an interior roughly the size of a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic.

President Dustin Naylor pre­ sented information regarding the ‘Indian Rock Native Garden Project,’ a collaborative project involving faculty member and visual artist Deborah Small, anthropologist Bonnie Bade and the Native American San Luis Rey Band, to the Execu­ tive Board on Wednesday. “I see a lot of potential for some great community-university relationships that can be built,” said Naylor, as he intro­ duced his explanatory handout to the board. The garden will be a semes­ ter long project of the ‘ Advanced Computer Art’ class (VSAR 402) taught by Deborah Small next spring. The students will be thoroughly involved in the cultivation and physical imple­ mentation of the Indian Rock Garden, which has yet to be designed. Students will also be engaged “with the local com­ munity, come to know the social, economic, environmen­ tal, historical, and cultural worlds in .which the members of the community live” said Naylor. He added that students are going to be exposed to, “ethno-botanical methods, including documentation of plant uses, native plant classifi­ cations schemes, plant history, lore and stories, plant applica­ tions, administration and pro­ cessing methods, harvest and cultivation requirements, and the geographic distributions of the plans under study.” The original idea of c re>»A rticle cont. on pg. 2 �H ousing Construction Impacts Student Parking » > Article cont. from pg. 1 the maximum capacity of 302, for slightly longer than a year. When complete the dormi­ tory buildings will reach almost to the point in the parking area where the pavement has been removed. According to Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, once the dormitories are completed lot O will perma­ nently lose 40 to 50 spaces. As for the impact on parking problems for the next year, Kno­ block said, they (parking ser­ vices) are “anticipating an impact in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMACC) overflow lot and are preparing to expand stack parking.” Knoblock also said, parking services is*“expanding carpool spaces by adding 25 more designated spaces in lot C,” which is the most popular park­ ing lot, located closest to campus on the comer of Craven Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Although the entire area fenced off in lot O is not nec­ essary for the actual construc­ tion of the student housing, Brad Fenton, project manager for Plan­ ning, Design, and Construction, said, “It wouldn’t be safe to allow people to park right next to the construction area.” In addition to the safety regulations, Knoblock said extra spaces were needed to allow for a turnaround lane, which provides room for people to easily drive around the lot, rather than having to back out as the spaces next the fence fill up. Included in the housing proj­ ect is a new parking lot, which will be located directed East of lot O, but this lot will be reserved for “residents of the dorms and another university department,” said Knoblock.

Sabraw, who replaced the original judge, that CSU attor­ neys engaged in misconduct when they told the court one of their witnesses would testify that Bell’s gay lifestyle, not his treatment on the job, caused his stress. Although a psychothera­ pist testified this was not true, the defense claimed he would find Bell’s lifestyle as the cause of his stress. The defense’s claim led Bell to declare his sexual ori­ entation during jury selection, which according to Perfili might make a North County jury less sympathetic. The trial took place in Vista Superior Court and lasted 10 days. Bell’s case is not the only discrimination lawsuit against CSUSM; other cases have been resolved in the past and others are still awaiting trial. ♦The North County Times was used as a source for this article.

With land at a premium price and the university growing at a rapid rate the only practical way to deal with parking woes is to build up. “There are already plans for a parking structure but how to fund the project and where to build first are ,still being discussed,” said Fenton. “I have built parking structures in the past, and it can be done.” Knoblock agreed and said, “The big piece is the funding source.” She also said decisions are “always a balancing act” between needs and funds, and since parking services is based on a self-support system, they are “exploring ways in public and private partnerships for rev­ enue.” “We (parking services) are exploring ways to keep from making drastic changes,” said Knoblock. Knoblock said, parking ser­ vices “encourages car-pooling and takes concerns, complaints and suggestions very seriously.” More information on Parking Services and Planning, Design and Construction can be found through the Cal State San Marcos Department Directory on the web-site at www.csusm.edu.

According to the Corroland Review, a website dedicated to 1993 and onwards Toyota cars, “City mileage is also greatly helped by the fact that, unlike ‘normal’ cars, the Toyota Prius regains some of your energy when you stop, taking what would normally just be heat (and worn brake pads) and convert­ ing it back into electricity.” Students milled around during the event, enjoying music from three local music acts: The Rabbits(from CSUSM), Serial Carpens (from the Encinitas area), and DJ Showtime. When asked about the importance of music in supporting events such as this one, one observer com­ mented, “It’s the music that makes people stop and pay atten­ tion, even if it’s not really their thing, it draws them into the real message.” Also represented at the 4-1-1 were many environmentally and socially conscious organizations. The Sierra Club, The Envi­ ronmental Club, The Surfrider Foundation, and the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy were a few organizations among a long list of participants.

Villasenor’s speech paid tribute to Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ghandi because they chose peace instead of violence to advocate change. Armando Martinez Velazquez, from Oaxaca, Mexico, speaks in English, Span­ ish and is fluent Nahuatl, an indigenous language that is grad­ ually becoming extinct. Going back and forth between the three languages, Martinez spoke about how proud he was of Chavez’s accomplishments while fighting for farm worker rights. Martinez also read poems that he wrote about the Campesino (farm work­ ers). “He was very humble and his speech was very powerful,” said Isabel Solis, president of MeChA. “It sounded really nice, even though. I couldn’t under­ stand.” The event concluded with a candle light vigil honoring Cesar E. Chavez Day of Service and Learning. Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later became known as the United Farm Workers (UFW).

Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993; he worked hard every day of his life to exemplify his mission and advance economic and social conditions for farm workers and Latino communities.

So without having to spend too much money on airplane tick­ ets, I booked a condo down south at the Paloma Beach condos, located in Rosarito, Mexico. I told some friends they could stop by anytime over the weekend to crash if they needed to. They could have the run of the house except for the master bedroom, which was mine. I drove down on Thursday night with friends Hayden, Mike, and Chivito. It was only an hour and an half drive from Vista with light traf­ fic. We got there late Thursday night, settled in and then drove farther south to Ensenada where we went to drink at Hussons. It was a mellow night, no real par­ tying, but we met some very nice stewardesses and invited them to stop by the next afternoon. When it was time to leave, we flipped a coin to see who would have to drive back to the condo. Mike was the unfortunate loser, which was good because he didn’t seem to be drunk. The next morning, I woke first, searched for the car keys, finally found them under Mike’s stinky socks, and then drove into town to buy some cases of Pacifico, a local beer. When I got back to the condo, it was packed with people, and they were all strangers. Hayden had invited the neighbors from down stairs, who were almost all Norweigen girls. A couple of them had their boy­ friends. It was quite the crowd, and the cases of beer I bought earlier were gone by the noon. Then when the alcohol was gone, everyone felt we should go horseback-riding, many of them did. Others went into to town to barter, and one of the girls and I rented quads instead of horses. I felt sorry for the skinny horses they rent to tourists. It was almost five when we all reconvened at the condo. A group of us were going to go on a short drive south to a small town, Puerto Nuevo, where a .restau­ rant I know has the best lobster in the world. I have been going to this restaurant for about 17 years. It is called Puerto Nuevo 1. It is not the fanciest restaurant, but it is the absolute best. I have eaten lobster from other places in town, but none compare. There is usually a line of guests wait­ ing to be seated, but I get spe­ cial treatment. While we were in town, I treated all of us to a “coco loco.” It is very pow­ erful drink packed with about six different liquors and coconut milk served in a coconut with some decorative straw. They taste great, and by the end of your first one, you start to feel the buzz. I had about four. Man, I was feel­ ing good. “Knock, Knock,” Chivito answered the door; it was the girls from Hus­ sons. They were all dressed to impress and ready for a night out at Papas and Beer, a restau­ rant and club in the main part of Rosarito. The guys and me where dressed much more casu­ ally. Mike was wearing jeans and black T-shirt, Chivito was wear­ ing a Hawaiian shirt and board shorts. Hayden looked the best and was wearing black pants and a nice dress shirt. Twas wearing faded jeans, a black tank top, and my black Chuck Taylors. We all went as a group; it was me and guys, the girls from down stairs and the flight attendants. Although, I’d like to think, I was escorting the girl who I spent the afternoon with. It was a fun night of dancing, drinking, and debauchery. The next day every one did their own things. I spent the day with friends watching television, drinking and talking about how stupid we were for forgetting our surfboards. We ate some fish tacos, tampered with fireworks and bought souvenirs for our moms. Now it was dark again and time for another night at Papas and Beer. We invited the girls to come with us again. They agreed but were first going to check out a different place. So, we took off. There was a longer line this time at Papas and Beer, and we waited impatiently. Once inside it was booming. The Coronas and XXs, other Mexican beers, were flow­ ing. The girls arrived about an hour later, which was very cool. Then it happened. This idiot drunk bumped into me. I ignored him, but he felt that I bumped into him. He decided to make some stupid remark and push me. Big mistake, especially when I fwas only trying to have fun. Next thing I remember, he is on the ground, and I am in the arms of a security guard being carried out­ side where a police car is wait­ ing. The police find my flask, take it and put me in the squad car. Now, I’m in this cop car with no back seat and sitting next to a couple of local boys who are trying to scare me with horrible stories of what happens to grin­ gos in jail. But it didn’t bother or frighten me because I had been in the Rosarito jail the year before. * I would have had to spend only about an hour in jail, but since my friends did riot show up and we were staying so far out of town, I had to spend the night. I sat on the concrete next to all the other spring breakers arrested for peeing in the streets, fighting, or possession of drugs. Finally, at dawn, my buddies arrived to pick me up, and they all had a bunch stories to tell me. When we got back to the condo, we slept for a few hours. I spent the rest of the day with the girl from Norway. It was our last day in Mexico, so we all said our good byes and headed for that long wait at the border crossing.

Pride Staff Writer Road rage escalates to cata­ strophic levels in Paramount Pic­ ture’s suspense thriller, Changing Lanes. The film directed by Roger Michell, starring Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson, opened in theaters Friday The story takes place in modern day New York City, where two strangers Gavin Banek (played by Affleck), and Doyle Gibson (played by Jackson) have a fender bender. Coincidentally, both men are in route to the court hearings of their lives. Banek, a powerful Wall Street lawyer, is to present the legal signatures needed, by his partners, to usurp the power of their billion-dollar law firm. Gibson, an insurance broker and recovering alcoholic, is on his way to his final child custody hearing and intends to try and convince his ex-wife to remain in New York with their two sons. Banek and Gibson begin to exchange insurance information. Banek is pressed for time and offers to buy his way out of the ordeal, but Gibson is trying to straighten out his life andwantsto do things “the right way.” Frus­ trated and late, Banek abandons the scene. He leaves Gibson stranded, and says, “Better luck next time.” What Banek doesn’t realize is that he accidentally leaves his legal documents at the scene of the accident. Gibson, who has an anger management issue, is late for his court hearing. Neither his ex-wife nor the judge is willing to accept, yet another excuse from Gibson. Gibson blames Banek for ruining his plans, and, at the same time, Banek is faced with the enormous pressure of having to produce his lost documents. The feud over the files escalates viciously through­ out the course of the day with grave costs to both men. The primary theme of the movie is conflict. On the sur­ face, Changing Lanes is an urban battle between two uncompro­ mising men. Beyond the obvi­ ous, the movie is addressing the internal conflicts of human nature. Gibson’s moral dilemma comes with accepting, even in sobriety, that his personality remains tainted with anger and instability, and Banek is forced to toil between the reality of selfinterest and the idealism of the legal system. Changing Lanes is solidified through the believable acting of the supporting cast. William Hurt-The Alcoholics Anon­ ymous Sponsor, Sydney Pollack-Banek’s father in-law, and Toni Collette- Michelle, Banek’s girlfriend, each delivered noteworthy performances. Brad­ ley Cooper, Jennifer Dundas, Ileen Getz, apd Kim Staunton also contribute with lesser roles. For promotion of the movie’s debut, Jackson participated in an open chat forum on MSN. Over the course of an hour, Jackson fielded questions from fans and critics, worldwide. When asked to describe Changing Lanes using only one word Jackson responded, “Intense.” Given a few more words, I would add thought provoking and frighten­ ingly believable. When asked what he hoped people would get out of Chang­ ing Lanes, Jackson said, “There’s a moral dilemma that both these people have to deal with and take responsibility. I think it’s great we’ve done a film that will send people out of the theater and into a coffee shop to talk about it. It ought to touch on some interestjngjissues and hopefullv it will done without the religious ico­ nography. Throughout the movie, Banek and Gibson show signs of remorse and question their own morality. These moments come, too obviously, under the guiding light of the Roman Cath­ olic Church. Gibson’s repentance comes in a scene where he makes peace with his ex-wife. In the empty house, where the conver­ sation takes place, hangs a sole picture of the Virgin Mary. Simi­ larly, Banek, distraught from the events of the day, stumbles into a church confessional. The moral­ ity problems presented in the film are earthlv, but the solutions R EV IEW Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM inspire conversations between people.” Where there is conflict, there is generally resolution or, in this case, redemption. I loved the movie, yet, I could have offered are supernatural or religious. In other words, real problems, yes, one religion presented as the solution, no thanks, The movie is rated R by the MPAA, for language.' Big Action in Small Town Jacumba By JAMES J.

The town is so small that you would most likely not notice it as you drive by on the freeway. Nonetheless, at night, you can see the dim lights glim­ mering off in the distance. Only about 400 people reside in the town of Jacumba, but back in the “roar­ ing twenties” and 1930s, Jacumba was a hopping town. Jacumba’s natural hot springs attracted many visitors and were a major magnet for Hollywood c e le ri­ ties. The city thrived with affluent people, but today it’s just a little town. The town is comprised of nothing but a small strip of road with old buildings on both sides. On a sunny day, you might see a tumble­ weed somersault across the road. Jacumba makes you feel like you are in some old ghetti Western.” My buddy, Mike, temporally lives out there and works as a floor-supervisor at 5 / k ta i1 ii the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo. I visited the casino while I was in town. This modern casino is not as popular as Pala or Viejas but offers plenty of activi­ ties. There’s great food, impressive prizes, beer & liquor and whole lot more. There are over 750 slots and plenty of Black Jack, poker and other game tables.There is also a 24-hour restaurant and gas sta­ tion where you can buy some goodies for the long road trip home. And for truckers, they provide a truck center and Trucker’s lounge. 92064 My mission this time at the casino was to win big.

I never play the mini­ mum $5 or $10 bet because if I want to win big, I must be willing to lose big. Finally, like a hawk, I honed my eye on a table. The dealer looked at me as I approached his podium. He looked intim­ idated, not knowing what to expect. The table was empty. It was a $10 minimum bet table, but I was not about to bet so little. I threw down an $100 chip. First hand, bang, I lost. I dropped 2 more chips ($200) immediately on the table, bang; I lost again. I lost over $1,000 in the first fifteen minutes. No big thing, bang; that’s Black Jack. On one hand, I won back $500. I won the next three hands, doubling and then tripling my cash flow. After a few more hands, the pit boss switched dealers. A crowd formed around me; I was winning big and occasionally losing some too. I battled different dealer after dealer, winning. Now I was up a couple thousand dollars and was dealt two face cards. I split the two hoping to hit double Black Jack. I didn’t; I busted on both hands. I ended up losing almost two grand on that one hand. It was OK though; it’s all worth the adrenaline. I walked over to bar and had me a scotch on the rocks. “Hmmm-ah,” it tasted good, and I paid for it with the little winnings I had left. To win at any casino, you have to be willing to lose, but don’t worry about any money lost because no matter what the result, win or lose, you will have a good time. Directions to Jacumba - Take the 1-8 east, exit on Crestwood, then turn right on Old U.S. Highway 80 south. Jacumba is located in the high desert only feet from the Mexican border. �Opinion Choki ng By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer Every Tuesday and Thurs­ day, as I walk to my final class in University Hall, I find myself taking the stairs and choking on the clouds of cigarette smoke that fill the stairwell. Not only do people choose to smoke on the stairs, but they choose to block them by sitting down on the bottom stair, allowing for barely enough space for one person to slide by. Is there a need to force nonsmokers and smokers alike to share in your filthy habit? Why is it people smoke in the most absurd places - like right in front in the Stairwell of the entrance to a restaurant or in a busy stairwell? Is it that hard to walk the extra feet and smoke in the open areas of the campus to, at least, pretend you have courtesy for those around you? The most amusing thing I find about the smokers on the third floor is that there are big white signs that say in red writ­ ing, “Please Do Not Toss Cig­ arette Butts on Roof.” From experience, I’ve learned that money is not spent on signs unless there is a recurring behav­ ior that needs to be stopped. Is it possible that some smokers can be so ignorant they just tofe a cigarette butt on a roof instead of putting it in the garbage can they are standing next to? I think that it is rude and should be stopped. I know that in northern Califor­ nia many establishments enforce a rule that stipulates people must be a certain number of feet away from the entrance of a building before lighting up. Does there need to be a rule for people to wake up and realize that not everyone wants to inhale their second-hand smoke as they try to walk to and from classes? I surely hope that college-edu­ cated citizens know the rules of etiquette that we as a society adhere to. But maybe I’m wrong, and we should insert an etiquette class in the schedule. Does the Sun Damage Driving Brain Cells? By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer I have witnessed many differ­ ent styles of terrible driving, but I would have to give southern Cal­ ifornia the award for “The Most Ignorant Drivers.” I’ve driven on the East Coast, which is, stereotypically, the home of the worst drivers in the world, but they don’t hold a token to those who drive on roads from “The 78” down through San Diego. My first instance of igno­ rance was in late February when the rain hit. I have come to the conclusion that all the driving brain cells leave rwhen rain hits southern California. On this par­ ticular day, I sat on “The 15” for two and a half hours, only moving from Valley Parkway to Carmel Mountain Road, which is normally at the most a fifteenminute drive. But that wasn’t the most shocking portion of the wait. While sitting in what looked like a parking lot, I had my first experience with intense southern California road rage. I looked into my rear view mirror and witnessed a “trucker” get out of his semi-truck, walk over to a man in a small Nissan pickup, who obviously was trying to merge into the lane against the will of die “trucker,” open the door of the Nissan, drag the driver out onto the freeway, and proceed to slug him with all of his road-rage-filled-fists. Then, as though it were a normal part of his daily activities, he walked back to his truck and merged into a different lane. Those types of things don’t happen where I’m from, and I don’t think they happen anywhere else in the United States. If that were to happen where I’m from, you’d probably get shot. My second experience with local road rage was on Thurs­ day. I was leaving school, enter­ ing Highway 78-East from Twin Oaks Boulevard. Since it was 4:25 p.m., there was barely any movement. When I merged onto the freeway, I attempted to merge over one more lane. There were at least two car lengths of room, so I went for it. Immediately after I put my blinker on, a person driving a red truck that I was trying to get in front of stepped on the gas and tried to block me from merging. Since I was already over and still had enough room (even with the jerk-action of the driver), I continued to merge. This woman proceeded to give me the finger, yelling at the top of her lungs, cursing at me and literally making her car swerve back and forth. Then after she vented, obviously disap­ pointed with the lack of response from me, she sped into the lane to the left of me, speeding up to come beside me. She then con­ tinued to yell at me, using her very articulate four-letter words, and swerved in front of me to prove a point, almost losing con­ trol of her truck and almost hit­ ting the cars beside her and in front of her while continuing to give me the finger. I never thought that I would say this, but I think that Los Angeles drivers are better than their southern partners in the San Diego area. At least they have some sort of consistency in their idiocy. Be it rain, sun, traffic, parking, on the freeway or right here on campus, I have to say, “Congratulations San Diego, you are the United States Most Igno­ rant Drivers.” Did Muslim-Americans Pay Lip Service to 9-11? By DAVID YANAGI Pride Staff Writer Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, when a clearer picture of the perpetra­ tors and their motives began to emerge, Muslim-Americans were thrust into the national spotlight to defend themselves and their beliefs. Across the country, Muslim leaders and activists were quick to condemn the events with a shared media mantra that characterized Osama bin Laden and his cohorts as extremists, unrepresentative of their peaceful Islamic beliefs. With the exception of some unfortunate hate crimes since the attack, we have for the most part, taken them for their word and moved on. Now the focal point of terror­ ism has moved from New York City to Israel. And again, many Muslims in this country have voiced their opinion on the situ­ ation, although with a bit more fervor than 9-11. And from what I can tell, there seems to be an almost unanimous solidarity with their Palestinian brethren in how they view the Middle East crisis. Suicide bombers or ‘free­ dom fighters,’ as they’re being called by many, are continu­ ously defended with rationaliza­ tions and justifications for their actions, subtly in American pub­ lications and programs, but bla­ tantly in many and most Arab and Muslim-American newspa­ pers and websites. I don’t want to imply that anyone who empa­ thizes with the Palestinian cause favors terrorist tactics, but News­ week recently reported 80 per­ cent of Palestinians approve of suicide attacks. It would be hard to imagine such a view limited only to the region. Both in the media and in my own personal experience, Muslim-Americans tend to implicate the Israelis as the real terrorists and see the defenseless Palestinians as merely fighting back the only Way they can. Upon examination of such a belief, the first thing that comes to mind is how it completely contradicts the Mus­ lim-American denouncement of the terrorist attacks on Amer­ ica. An inconsistency that should lead some to wonder if we were had and were merely told what we wanted to hear by much of the Muslim community. Let’s assume for a moment that the suicide attacks against Israeli citizens are somehow jus­ tified. Israel is systematically killing innocent Palestinians with their military and its advanced weaponry, while the Palestinians use their only weapon - themselves - to deliver eye for eye retaliation. The United States has sent and con­ tinues to send billions of dollars in aid to help Israel pay for the tanks rolling into the West Bank. This is the type of financial support that has ‘mainstream’ Muslim and Arab news outlets, both here and abroad, citing the United States as an accomplice to Israel in the death and destruc­ tion. And if the United States and Israel are in this together, then this country is a viable target; a point of view shared by the terrorists on 9-11. If the ene­ my’s motive and the results of a suicide attack are all the same, then, is it not valid to question whether many Muslim-Ameri­ cans are being disingenuous by frowning on one and then excus­ ing another? If the true feelings of many people in this country about 9-11 are hidden behind a politically or patriotically correct faQade, then President Bush’s “with us or against us” statement should have been domestically directed. And the future of terrorism in the US may be seen through the eyes of an Israeli because if they are fair game, then so are we. It's Just a Matter of Perspective... Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor When our weary world was young, the struggle of the Ancients first began. The Gods of Love and Reason sought alone to ule the fate of Man. They battled through the ages, but still neither force would yield. Their people were divided; every soul a battlefield... They say there are strangers, who threaten us in our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness, too dangerous in our theatres and bookstore shelves. Those who know what's best for us - must rise and save us, from ourselves. Quick to judge. Quick to anger. Slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand. A tired mind become a shape-shifter. Everybody need a soft filter. Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings about the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm. These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me, just one more who's searching for the world that ought to be. The more that things change, the more they stay the same. I have memory and awareness, but I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am, dead yet unborn. We can walk our road together if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free if we pursue a different aim. Let the truth of Love be lighted. Let the love of Truth shine dear. Sensibility. Armed with sense and liberty, with the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect sphere. Written by Neil Peart for Rush �New Security Measures Cause Disappointment with Spring Break Travels By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN Opinion Editor Have you been through an airport recently? Chances are, since many of us just got back from spring break, many of you have. Hopefully your experiences were better than mine. Not to say that my travels over break were all bad, but I definitely have a question as to whether or not the over 6 billion dollars allo­ cated for airport security mea­ sures, which will continue to be funneled into airports, is doing anything to protect us. Traveling through Los Ange­ les International Airport was a breeze. Airport personnel were very well organized, and their new security systems looked like something out of a Star Trek movie. Laptop computers have to be taken out and screened sepa­ rately, but there were many (even friendly) people standing in front of the security machines, inform­ ing passengers of the new pro­ cedures^ You wouldn’t believe how many people travel with lap­ tops. I expected to be one of a select few, but almost everyone I saw pulled a laptop out of their carry-on bags, at least at LAX. Even at that, it only took me about 45 minutes to get through security and to arrive at my gate, despite having my two-year-old in tow. I felt safe; the National Guard was everywhere, armed to the hilt with fully automatic rifles as well as their personal side arms. I had a layover in Kansas City, which compared to LAX is a very small airport, but they had their share of National Guard mem­ bers, and their baggage screening, though not as sophisticated, was thorough. Between the stroller, the diaper bag, my briefcase, and my little girl, I had a lot to drag around, and the food court was at the far end of the terminal. Even with my military ID, they wouldn’t let me leave anything (even the diaper bag) at the gate sp we could go get something to eat more easily. I actually appre­ ciated their adherence to guide­ lines, however inconvenient for me, because once again, I #felt safe. I reached my destination fairly happy with the new secu­ rity measures. My trip home was a different story. Chicago’s Midway airport was comparable to LAX - they had sophisticated systems, and despite the hoards of passengers, the now infamous Argenbright security personnel were helpful and friendly. Problems were non­ existent until the plane for my flight arrived late due to bad weather at its originating air­ port. We boarded late, and there were seven or eight standby pas­ sengers on their way to Mexico. None of the flight attendants spoke Spanish and the passen­ gers’ English wasn’t great. No one could get them to sit down so we could leave. (Why, oh why, didn’t I learn Spanish instead of French?) We eventually took off just twenty minutes late, but I still missed my connection in H A V E A N OPINION OR A C OMIC S TRIP???

Six of us from the Chicago flight were running across the terminal, and we watched them close the door to our connecting flight to Los Angeles. No one bothered to tell the pilot that more passengers were on the way. Bad communication. We were stuck. There was a woman who had a connection to Singapore from LAX. She was really stuck. The next flight wasn’t until the next morning. Everything went downhill •from this point. The airport staff was rude, unhelpful, inconsider­ ate, and completely unaccommo­ dating from the moment we were at their mercy. “No, you don’t have to stay in a hotel, you are welcome to stay here in the terminal [for the next twelve hours with a two year old] until your next flight leaves,” was the standard line I was given by five or six different people. Apparently, several dozen people missed flights that night because of bad weather at other airports across the country. In Denver, it’s usually local weather that keeps passengers behind, but not this time. With all the delays, hotels around the airport booked up very quickly, but, at least, they gave us a “distressed passenger” rate. I couldn’t believe this hap­ pens so often that they have a name for it. After a four hour nap at a hotel 25 minutes from the airport (nothing is close to the terminals in Denver) we found ourselves back at the airport the next morn­ ing. The airline wouldn’t store our luggage for us the night before, so we had to take it all the way to the hotel, bring it all back again the next morning, and stand in line to check it once again. We got to the airport two and an half-hours before our flight was scheduled to leave; we still almost missed it. The security procedures were a mess. The line to check baggage took over half an hour, the secondary security check took another twenty min­ utes, and the main security check to get into the terminal took an hour. I would have been completely understanding if the staff had at least been nice. I actually had a nasty airline employee tell me that I missed my flight the night before because of my attitude right after I apologized for being impatient with her. I was stressed, exhausted, and dragging along an extremely cranky two-yearold. The most distressing part of my trip was realizing that the secondary security checks are STILL not conducted randomly. One out of every ten tickets is flagged, and that passenger is checked thoroughly at every single checkpoint - baggage check, main security, and board­ ing - at every single airport. It was such a joke. My ticket was flagged, so I had to completely empty all of my bags, take off my shoes and be frisked by security eleven times on my trip. My military ID meant nothing. I knew from the first moment I checked in at LAX that this was going to happen to me. Everyone else went through the same old relaxed procedures that airlines have been conduct­ ing for years. Likewise, anyone who wasn’t told at check-in that they were subject to secondary security could count on not being searched for the remainder of their trip. Does this make sense? If I know that I’m subject to secondary search at every stop, even if I had something illegal, I would sure as heck get rid of it before I got to the checkpoint. And if I were a bad person who wanted to hurt people, I could wait until after I had checked my bags to find out if I was going to be searched. Untagged pas­ sengers never opened their bags, never got frisked and never took off their shoes. I know that the FAA is trying to avoid charges of racial pro­ filing, but this was ridiculous. Maybe every tenth passenger in line for boarding should be searched? That could be over­ come too. Should everyone go through the same security measures that I did? That would be better than the way it is now. I would be will­ ing to wait in line for that. The way it is now, several people, of multiple ethnic backgrounds and looking far more suspicious than a young woman with a baby and a military ID, walked onto the plane without a second look. Those National Guard troops can’t do a heck of a lot once the plane is in the air. Daily Thoughts on... Senioritis By MARLINO BITANGA Pride Staff Writer I think I have a case of senioritis. It’s already the elev­ enth week of school, and I feel as if all my motivation has either been sucked out of my system or it never caught up with me after spring break. As class deadlines draw closer, I am so swamped with group projects and papers. It’s as if all my professors forgot to go to that meeting to let each other know that they were sched­ uling an assignment for a partic­ ular day. My internship isn’t cooperat­ ing with me either. Have you ever felt that you wanted to do some­ thing for yourself? I thought by obtaining an internship it would help me gain more knowledge­ able about the field I am trying to enter or provide me more work experience. But at the facility, my title of “intern” has grown to mean faxing, getting the mail, and sitting at an isolated desk at the front of the building answer­ ing phones for three hours: Right, like I didn’t already know how to The P ride Co-Editor Co-Editor News Editor Feature Editor Opinion Editor Arts Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Claudia Ignacio James Newell M artha Sarabia Lisa Lipsey A lyssa Finkelstein M elanie Addington Amy Bolaski A lyssa Finkelstein M adeleine Marshall All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos, Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board. do that.

As part of their mid-term evaluation, seven students read their works produced in Cesmat's Creative Writing 325 class. Cesmat dubbed the poets the "Tukwut Poets" using the indigenous word, "tukwut" meaning "mountain lion." The event, which Cesmat has held almost every semester at the downtown Escondido cafe for the past several years, began at 6:30 p.m. "Tonight we are going to give these creative writing students a chance to read their poems because I tell them that poetry is one of the genres of art that should be made with the voice of the breath," Cesmat began the event saying. "So let's get the poetry off of the page and see how it sounds when it is accompanied by the sound of beer bottles clinking and coffee machines brewing." Reading their poetry they had worked on all-semester was SM Library & Information Services Vol VIII No. 25/ Tuesday, April 17,2001 an option given to students in the LTWR 325 class in lieu of turning in their mid-term poetry portfolios the previous Monday. Student poets walked up on stage to face an audience of 30. "It's a really good idea," said student poetry reader Dianne Hirning, "it gave us an extra day to work on our portfolios and the opportunity to test what we had written in front of other people outside of our class." Dianne Hirning read a poem based around her recurrent dream called "Security," and another about her energetic toddler whose chocolate-stained pajamas explode one night. Alison King read "Eternity Shoes," a brief biography of her favorite footwear. Denaye Lakotich read both a poem inspired by Anne Sexton titled "Do you like me," and another poem raising the issue of dysfunctional relationships in a multi-media world. Tom Mendendhall read several poems including "Bakersfield," a long, narrative poem in which a woman pines for men's mouths that do not taste like Skoal. Mike Doleshal began his reading with a confession: "Hello, my name is Michael, and I am a Star Trek fan." He then continued to read a satiric poem in the voice of William Shatner. Giovanni Ferrer, who, aside from reading one poem titled "Concrete Jungle," augmented his second performance with pre-composed hip-hop music and a-rap-styled reading. Kathleen Hash, an alumna of the 325 class, read two short poems titled "I Want to Be Naked" and "This World Bites." Professor Cesmat, who is a working poet in addition to teaching literature and writing, performed "Curiosity Killed the Cat," a jazz elegy for Joliet Jakes (a.k.a. John Belushi). In this piece, Cesmat becomes a one-man band, providing percussion by slapping his leg and impersonating a trumpet with his mouth in between singing stanzas of poetry. Cesmat sang a similar poem to the tune of the John Coltrane song, "Central Park West." "I know Brandon from way back," explained the cafe owner, Jim Nemish. In reference to Cesmat's body-music poetry, Nemish laughed saying, "He did this 10 years ago on my stage. He did a whole damned orchestra." "April is national poetry month," explained Cesmat, "And it's really nice of Jim to open up his space, not only for poets, but for many artists around North County." The Creative Writing course is offered again in the fall. The class will be held on Monday and Wednesdays from 1 to 2:15 p.m. N o O nline V oting for C SUSM S tudents t his Year By MELANIE ADDINGTON tion. and VICTORIA B.

The new policies are part of a system-wide decision that 8 2001 Tukwut Poets Read at Metaphor Cafe in Lieu of Midterm By MELANIE ADDINGTON and VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editors The annual ASI elections have been changed from April 24-25 to May 1-2. The election date change is due to the CSUSM Job Fair that will be held at Founders Plaza, Wednesday, April 25, which is the same location of the voting polls and on one of the original election dates. ' The problem would have been if someone had been in that spot," said Tad Goddard, Chairperson for the Elections Committee, "and we also need to be able to control the people around the booths." Goddard explained that he and Gezai Berhane, Associate Director of Student and Residential Life, decided to change the election dates. Berhane originally informed the editors of The Pride on Friday, April 13, that the elections dates would be moved earlier to April 23-24 instead of April 24-25. In less than an hour* however, after a discussion between Goddard and Berhane, the two " informed the editors that the election dates were changed again, pushed to later dates, May 1-2. "Gezai has the authority to change the dates," said Goddard. Berhane said he contacted the student newspaper immediately with the first date change because he wanted to place an announcement in the calendar and did not want to miss the paper's calendar deadline. The electoral process for the ASI elections is based on CSU regulations and Title 5 in CSU's Educational Code, but there is flexibility in making final decisions, according to Berhane. When asked about the recent changes in election dates, Berhane answered that the changes were "not a violation of rules and regulations, but for our own »Article continues on page 2 jplVED will eventually convert all CSU campuses to the new schedule. Considered a "normal semester" by team members, the summer session, a state-supported program, will lead the three-semester year and will run alongside CSUSM's Extended Studies program. The year round schedule focuses on serving large-enrollment increases at CSUSM and gives students the opportunity to obtain their degree much sooner. The summer course selec- tion is similar in size to last summer, offering a balance between general education courses, core requirements and classes with large enrollment. Although class choice is very limited, the team sees this summer as a test of the program and looks to increase the availability of courses over time.

CSUSM's resident nocturnal amphibian, the western spadefoot toad, comQs out in mass to send up itst amorous serenade and breed in pools of standing water. This may be their last concert of the season. Once the eggs are fertilized and the pools disappear for the long, dry summer, the toads will return to their underground homes. Although in some cases the distinctions are blurry, toads differ from frogs in their body shape, including shorter legs, less foot webbing, and fatter—oh, excuse me—I mean stouter bodies. Whereas frogs revel in water, toads are land-lovers. Strike that. Toads, live mostly on land, but when they want some toad lovin', they head for puddles and slow streams. Admittedly less romantic than pond sex sounds, toad reproduction takes place externally. These small toads range in size from about Wi to three inches and are blotchy gray-green in color, with spots that are more prominent on the young. Hailing from genus scaphiopus, and carrying the species name of spea hammondii thQse critters get their common name, spadefoot, from a little spade-shaped, inner back toe that helps them burrow into the ground where they spend most of their lives, according to Marshall University's herpetology website. Unlike certain known rainforest frogs, these toadies offer no hallucinogenic properties from their body secretions. According to the U.S. Geological Survey's Western Ecological Research Center, the western spadefoot toad is "easily handled" and has skin secretions that "smell like A western spadefoot toad sits at the side ofa CSUSM campus parking lot. peanut butter."

Not left with much time for planning, the team decided to use a class schedule relatively the same as last summer. With long-term goals in mind, .McDuffie said that the team hopes to achieve a summer class schedule of 25 percent to 40 percent of spring and fall coursework, eventually trying to go from the eight-week sessions to 12- to 15-week sessions. There will be only minor changes in student services. Campus employment for enrolled students will be limited to 20 hours a week. Financial aid for the summer term is limited, so students who are concerned about available funds should contact the Financial Aid office about eligibility. Fees for classes this summer are similar to last year's, but by next year they will follow the regular fee structure. The last day for early registration is April 20, and the payment deadline is May 2.

Of all the part-time lecturers, Diehr said that "one-third apply for merit pay and they receive much smaller awards." Under the current FMI system, explained Diehr, the ratio of part-time lecturer versus tenured, full-time faculty is 30 cents to the dollar. The FMI pay system is not the only issue about which CFA is concerned. According to Diehr, the expenditure gap has yet to be resolved. The expenditure gap is "the difference between state funding for faculty salaries and the actual expenditure by the CSU for that purpose." This means money allocated for faculty does not always end up in their paycheck. Currently, as Diehr explained to the Board of Trustees, "with the addition of benefits costs the total expenditure gap approaches an on-going difference of $100 million." The CFA cannot determine where the money is actually going since CSU refuses to open their books, as explained in the CFA Fact-Finding Hearing writeup. Diehr points out that the CSU Board of Trustees needs to conduct a thorough examination of the gap. Furthermore, they need to "ensure that taxpayer dollars and student fees collected and promised for the support of the primary mission of the institution - the education of our students - are actually spent for that purpose."

A cynical and bitter female turns her bitter and broken heartache into a bizarre theory that men are just bulls that have to replace their old cows with new cows. Ashley Judd stars in the typical Meg Ryan role, playing Jane Goodale, a name apparently and mistakenly intended for one-liners about apes. A modern woman (in the sense that she blows dust off of her diaphragm), Jane meets Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear of "You've Got Mail"). Life is wonderful and their love is perfect, with the exception of his girlfriend. Fulfilling her romantic fantasy life, Jane dismisses all of the signs that Ray is not so perfect. After he breaks it off with his other girlfriend, Ray and Jane plan to move in together. Jane ends the lease on her apartment only to find herself dumped by Ray for his old cow (girlfriend); the scene leaves faint traces of "You've Got Mail" on the viewer's mind. Wanting to know why she was dumped, Jane investigates bovine behavior in an attempt to explain men's bullish moves. Although her theory is incredibly moronic, her idea works by depicting the obvious confused state of modern women. Enter her despicable roommate and coworker Eddie (Hugh Jackman of "X-Men"). Although he charms the audience long before he charms Jane, Eddie is brilliant as the macho stud that really has a heart of gold. Although Judd is the star, Jackman really makes the film. His combination of strong acting skills, amazing good looks, wit and charm puts him on the top of my favorite new actors list. In one of her more clever and cynical moments, Jane questions whether the world is worse off because of men like Ray who make promises and break them, or men like Eddie whose only intention is to get as many women in his bed as possible. As Eddie begins to disprove her snap judgment about him and most men, the film transforms from being a typical "chick-flick" to smartly summing up the confusion and misunderstanding between the two sexes. Marisa Tomei ("Untamed Services Offered (Left) Greg Kinnear and Ashley Judd star in "Someone Like You." Hugh Jackman (right) plays a romantic interest of Jane Goodale, Ashley Judd. (Courtesy Photos/imdb. com) Heart" and "What Women Want") plays Liz, Jane's sidekick. Only a few years ago Tomei would have been the star of such a film, but times have changed. Sitting in the theater, I kept thinking how Tomei would have brought the role of Jane to life, instead of the fiat performance given by Judd. Not to say that Judd was not good, she just didn't have that indescribable quality that the romantic lead needs to make the audience fall in love with her.

Of course, in the style of every other cookiecutter romantic comedy, "Someone Like You" ends with a kiss. Although the ending is predictable, it doesn't take away from the hilarity of the rest of the film. Tony Goldwyn, who starred with Judd in 1997's "Kiss the Girls," directed the romantic comedy.

The band's latest album is Pure Rock Fury. (Courtesy Photo/Clutch web site) Pure Rock Fury Brings Back the H ard Rock Sound of the '80s By CLAY BABER Pride Staff Writer While their style may not appeal to the masses, for those rock and roll fans seeking something a little less mainstream, Clutch may very well fit the bill. Clutch's latest album Pure Rock Fury is a powerful combination of heavy guitar riffs and boisterous vocals that create a stark, expressive style unlike most other contemporary rock bands. Clutch blends the traditional rock and roll sound typical of many late '70s and early '80s bands such as Black Sabbath and the ftiore contemporary Corrosion of Conformity, with unique vocals that are anything but traditional. Pure Rock Fury features primarily hard driving rock tracks like "Drink to the, Dead" and "American Sleep," occasionally separated by more funky, bass-guitar-laden tracks such as "Brazenhead" and "The Great Outdoors." One interesting track is "Careful With That Mic," which sounds more like a speech put to music rather than a song. In this track, lead vocalist Neil Fallon issues both a verbally complex put-down to other lyricists and a humorous proclamation of his superior skills in a catchy, upbeat rhyme combined with a funky bassline. Throughout the album, Fallon creates an unusual lyrical style by combining slower, more monotone verses with faster, more energized verses in which he belts out lyrics at the top of his lungs.

Stop talking. Okay, shut up! This is catechism so I hope you're all in the right class," said Jane Morris, who portrays Sister in "Late Night Catechism." "Late Night Catechism" is nothing like I had anticipated. The actress, teacher and comedian, Sister, is a one-nun-show full of laughs and information. The stage is set as a catechism classroom where Sister teaches the basics of the Catholic Church. The show is very interactive and sometimes you may get called upon when you aren't suspecting it. Right before the intermission she told the audience, "If there were Cain and Abel but no women, then how did they procreate to have children? I want you to get into small groups while I leave the classroom and you cannot leave until you come By NATHAN JOVIN Full cast of the long running play, "Shear Madness"pictured above. ( Photo/Shearmadness.com) Pride Staff Writer "Shear Madness" is the longest running play in America, according to the "Guinness Book of World Records," and it's not hard to see why. This year-round comedy provides all the fun and spontaneity you'd find in a lim- up with an answer." She randomly chose a gentleman and had him stand up. She asked him his name and if he was familiar with the Catholic Church and then asked him to supervise the "class" to make sure that everyone tried to find an answer. Through the first half of the play, Sister discussed the pros and cons of certain saints and decided to eliminate some of their names from the list of sainthood. She talked of a saint who went atop a concrete pillar and lived there for an eternity to be closer to God. Sister said he was just lazy so she crossed his name off the list. Throughout the play, Sister asked questions about Catholic theology and offered little prizes to the individuals who got the answers right. She offered Catholic ID cards to winners and explained to the audience, "If Brenda [winner] gets hit by a truck and someone sees this card before she dies, it says 'I'm Catholic. In case of emergency, call a priest.' So they call a priest and he comes down and says her last rites and she goes to heaven. The one problem is if you get hit by a truck, your purse will probably be nowhere near you so you better be good." The most amazing thing about Jane Morris is her quick improvisational skills. One person asked her if women would ever be priests. Morris joked that the Pope wrote a newsletter called the "Papal Bull" about the issue of women priests and how some women of the church organized a committee called Catholic Organization for Women, or COW. Then she said that all the COWs are tired of the bull. The show lasted two hours and although it was a classroom setting, the time flew by. "Late Night Catechism" is currently playing at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. "Shear Madness" ited-run show. The play is set in a hair salon in San Diego, The audience is carried through a series of comical mishaps in the hair salon, all the while being treated to bits of pop-humor, pertaining mostly to local events and politics. When a murder is committed in the apartment above the salon, the excitement really begins. The audience becomes part of the play, trying to help the police solve the crime. The actor's improvisational skills are put to the test from this point on. The audience was much more forward than I would have expected, one person going so far as to begin shooting insults at the characters. The professionals prevail, however, with quick comebacks that are much fun- nier than the actual script of the play. I was impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of the actors despite the fact that the play runs six days a week. The only shortcoming of "Shear Madness" is its complete lack of depth. Most comedies that rely on stereotypes for most of their humor, as "Shear Madness" does, have some redeeming moment that sends the audience away thinking. If you're looking for an evening of humor and blissful ignorance, "Shear Madness" is for you. The play starts at 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays; and 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost between $30 and $35. IMAB Inc. Attention Science Majors!

Steve Compian Literature and Writing Studies Major Clases insuficientes para estudiantes Por CAROLE SIELAFF Existen problemas con el proceso de la matriculacion en la Universidad Estatal de California San Marcos. Muchos estudiantes no pueden conseguir las clases que necesitan, ni pueden conseguir las clases a tiempo para graduarse. Esto se debe a que muchas de las clases no se ofrecen con regularidad, es decir, en dias variados o en diferentes horarios. Este problema esta causando que muchos estudiantes se queden en CSUSM mas tiempo del que habian planeado. En el semestre de primavera de 2001, hice una encuesta a treinta estudiantes con respecto a sus -actitudes del proceso de la matriculacion en CSUSM. La mitad de los estudiantes cursan el primer o el segundo semestre y la otra mitad son estudiantes mas avanzados. La encuesta consiste de una serie de preguntas que cubren desde la disponibilidad de clases hasta sugerencias de como resolver el problema. Los resultados son: 71% dijeron que algunas clases que necesitan solamente se ofrecen una vez por semestre, y el otro 29% no estan de acuerdo 74% dijeron que algunas clases se ofrecen en el otono pero no en la primavera, y el otro 26% no estan de acuerdo Tambien, 74% dijeron que les toma mas tiempo de lo que inicialmente planearon para graduarse, y el otro 26% no estan de acuerdo Hubo algunas preguntas abiertas en el cuestionario. Algunas respuestas a la pregunta abierta, "^Como puede CSUSM limitar los problemas que tu estas teniendo cuando te matriculas?", son: "i*Es una lata matricularse para las clases! Yo encuentro que yo puedo matricularme solamente para las clases que me dejan con hasta tres-horas de intervales entre las clases. jTambien, yo tengo que venir a SwBEm ^ ^^mm' The Pride Letter t o t he Editors: U pcoming Student Elections Our actions or inaction's will gets closer to the million-dollar define our student body on May mark.

About Safety & the Weil-Being of Students By ZACHARY PUGH Pride Staff Writer Across the street from the main campus and slightly detached from the hustle and bustle of student life, there is a structure called the SMACC building. This building houses a majof service for the students of CSUSM: The Student Health Center (SHC). This service is dedicated to the students, however, it seems that not many people take advantage of it. Despite this, the student health services fee has increased to $35 a head per semester, even though students voted against the increase. What is the purpose of the Student Health Center? According to Cathy Gremmet, an employee of the SHC, the problems handled range from "sore throats to STDs " Gremmet added that the SHC has "medical military trained" physicians and specialists. Despite these well-trained individuals, do many students really use these services? When asked about the medical procedures performed, Gremmet said, that the medical staff treats very minor situations and that "x-rays are out of our scope, there is no orthopedic technician ... we're not able to set bones, we're here for the students." Hmmm. She continued to emphasize that if the injured student needs immediate attention, it is very important to notify 911 or an emergency contact who can further assist the student With the exception of the occasional sore throat that a mother's care can cure, or a pesky STD that can be rectified by your local pharmacist and some cream, the availability of more health care avenues should be addressed. Is the student medical fee going by the wayside? It seems that for $35 a semester (starting Fall 2001), the SHC should do a little more than just cure the common cold, minor scrape, or a garden variety STD. Maybe they could do a little more advertising than just a point of the finger at student orientation. Students, just as an exercise to sharpen your math skills: multiply the future rate of $35 for SHC fees that all students pay by the population of the student body which is an roughly estimated 6,000 heads. That's $210,000 worth of sore throats and STDS. What is the protocol for Campus Security when it comes to an injured student on campus? According to Sgt. Peter Pham of CSUSM Safety Services, the safety process.when an injury on campus is reported differs with the severity of the injury. If it's a minor injury, Campus Safety will allow the student to decide what he or she wants to do. However, if it is a major injury in question, "they log it in and dispatch will send aiuofficer to the site immediately." After an officer arrives at the scene of the incident, they will "notify Student Health Services and the Environmental Health & Safety Department," said Sgt. Pham. When asked about the safety process after the SHC has closed, Sgt. Pham said that Campus Safety officials obtain "immediate medical attention ... roll the paramedics, every incident is documented in a detailed report." In light of the SHC services and safety protocol on campus, it would benefit the students if the following took place: possible extended hours of the SHC to speed up the process of helping an injured student, specializing in more health issues, and using the fees to promote a more accessible Student Health Center. �Golf Teams Go on the Road By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Staff Writer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He also explained that while he felt a sense of accomplishment in challenging himself to explore in the unfamiliar terrain of the horrorflick,"in terms of returning to the genre, the truth is it's more fun to work on comedies and it's easier and I feel more at home doing them and even dramas." Yet, Wilson leaves the door open for a possible return to the slasher scene: "If something were to come along, I would definitely give it a shot again." The Dallas-born-and-raised actor spoke about how he got into acting: "I didn't really know what I wanted to do in I college. It all just kind of came together. : I was an English major and an Art History m* minor. Then Owen and Wes Anderson got t : 'Bottle Rocket' going, and so I just started working on that.

"Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or "Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the situation, but if anything, it's really helped me. I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school. I've learned on every single movie I've done, whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'" "What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get more successful and more recognizable and am able to do well in good movies, then I hope that that kind of thing will come together; but I might just have to write it myself." So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two screenplays, one of which has been made into a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con man who is trying to turn his life around and get his girlfriend back with the help of these two old men that he's try ing to help." Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he would also like to form a production company with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson), but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us and seeing our short film and helping us along" Wilson explained. Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be content with "The Wendell Baker Story," which opens in theaters May 18 and "Vacancy," which opens April 20. the sea, climbed treacherous mountains, and cave dived around the world. The fine men and women of the brewery have created an excellent summer ale delight, The carton pictures a sea reflecting the bright orange hues of the sunflankedby deep brown mountains as a pack of killer whales play in the ocean. The cardboard packaging contains six 12 ounce glass bottles. The brown glass bottles are capped with peculiar magenta bottle caps. Slight odors of malts, hops, and yeast radiate a pleasing aroma after the magenta cap twists off the bottle. When the beer is poured into the glass, it clearly exemplifies an amber tint similar to a sunset across Palm Court at CSUSM while displaying a one-inch thick head. The ale has an alcohol by volume of 5.3 percent, and the brewery recommends pairing the brew with Alaska crab, halibut, or salad. The summer ale smoothly enters the mouth. During the climax of the swallow a quick and punchy taste of malts, hops, and yeast penetrate the taste buds. The summer ale falls into the dark abyss of the throat just as it has entered, smooth and nonchalant. Gladly satisfied the stomach moans in fulfillment as the empty glass clumsily settles on the wooden surface, Alaskan Summer Ale should be chilled thoroughly before consumption. A pretest was conducted when the summer ale was only slightly chilled. The taste buds screamed cruelty and threatened to sue.

Shirley Temple that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail, or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink. Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the non-alcoholic beverage was created by a bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s. Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress, she was invited to many a Hollywood party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is. Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's during the height of her career, and because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to accompany her amidst the surplus of adult Holly wood stars. Originally made with two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common for the orange juice to be omitted. The more familiar recipe for a Shirley Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup, and at least two decorative Maraschino cherries. Served over ice in a highball glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice. Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint and will gleefully please even the most spoiled inner-child. For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley." A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2 ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP and a splash of grenadine, and is served in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A "Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite, and an ounce of grenadine, served in a highball glass on ice. With so many yummy options, it would be hard to go wrong with good oY Shirley.

A slate is a group of like-minded candidates who run together with similar positions and goals; they are not necessarily official. Anyone interested in recognizing who these slates represent need go no further than spotting the clustering of signs on campus. Thefirstdispute was over a mistake concerning the time signs could be posted to start the campaign. The Dean Manship slate posted signs on the quad and in front of Craven Hall before the Stacey Helton slate had a chance to do the same. The Helton slate claimed the Manship slate received special privileges, alleging that the slate was allowed to skip a mandatory meeting that was required of all participants in the election.

On April 25 and 26 students will have the option to vote yes or no on increasing the semester fee for Health Servicesfrom$20 to $35. Health Services hasn't increased the semester fee since the fee was established in 1994. The average yearly fee for student health services in the CSU system is $108. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director ofHealth Services, believes that students did not attend the forum because they are not aware that these Health Services exist So instead'of conducting an open forum, Nicholson passed out free bottles of water and pens to any student who walked by. Reactions to the fee increase vary across campus. A student, who prefers not to be named, stated, "No way. It's just another fee. I never use Health Services." Elena Medina, another student, stated that she would support it as long as the increase was gradual and services would be provided with the increase. She stated, "Students are here awayfromhome.

"They shouldn't just take the first job open to them," said Punch. In addition to the fair, the Career and Assessment Center offered free workshops throughout the day, including one aimed to help prospective employees "dress for success," and another to help students draft an effective resume. All of the workshops were well attended, some to the point of overflowing. Perhaps the only folks unhappy with the success of Job Fair 2000 were campus regulars Jed Smock and his family.

Some ICC members are fed up with their peers. Several clubs on campus will be unable to obtain their needed funding for events they have been planning, because the council has been unable to vote on anything for over a month. Other groups, like the Odyssey Club, are waiting for the council to reach quorum so they can be officially recognized as a club. They have been waiting for weeks and were visibly agitated at the realization that they would again be denied club status. Rita Reynolds and Reanna Wertz, who are both running for Executive vice-president of ASI, felt that clubs do not take ICC seriously enough. Wertz, president and co-founder of the Future Educators Club, sighted rapid growth in ICC as part of the problem. "The jump from 9 to 52 clubs has taken a dramatic toll on ICC. The policies are going to have to change." "I am disappointed with the presidents of the clubs who do not attend," said Penny Lanese, Anime Project Alliance. "If you don't care about your club,, you shouldn't have chartered it." Lanese went on to acknowledge ' those in regular attendance, "The ones who do go display praiseworthy dedication." Reynolds and Wertz both * felt that some clubs see ICC as simply a place to go when they need money. Reynolds, president and co-founder of the Victorious Club, insisted that ICC is "not just for funding. It is a place for clubs to exchange ideas, to support each other." �)e iPribe 2 (Tuesday, April 18, 2000 SIGNS Cont. FromPg. 1 Teacher Fair a Success Cynthia C.

According to ASI Presidential candidate Stacey Helton, all prospective candidates had to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 4, at 1:30pm that covered election rules or else they would not be allowed to run in the election. According to sources familiar with the meeting, all of the candidates on the Stacey's slate attended the meeting while an only a few of Dean Manship's slate showed up to the meeting.

When asked if the large number of complaints against them were due to other factors he added, "They think we are a bunch of incumbents. It has nothing to do with ICC or club matters. We have good ideas. I want to have a positive campaign." Another dispute between the groups involves the enforcement of sign rules. "You are allowed four mistakes. If you go over the amount you are not allowed to run," said Penny Lanese, a candidate on Stacey Helton's slate. She also stated that rules are not being enforced to the fullest extent. She claimed that Dean Manship's slate had violated the rules twice while she claimed her slate had not. Dean said that these charges were unfounded and said, "I don't want to say anything negative." The person in charge of sign postings and citing violations is Gezai Beihane, Student Involvement Coordinator for the Center for Student Involvement. He contradicts the charges made by Helton's slate by saying, "I have heard complaints but no rules have been violated." He explained that there are strict rules for posting signs, but during election season the rules are relaxed. Despite this and other inside disputes both Dean Manship and Stacey Helton said that they wanted a positive campaign focusing on issues. does not stop at these women either.

As a recent addition to the student body at CSUSM, I feel that I can present a fresh view to ASI. I believe that my diverse working experience, including management and customer service, has prepared me for the rigorous demands of ASI President. I am currently the President of the German Club, as well as Treasurer for both the History Club and the Victorious Club, and Secretary for the American Indian Student Alliance (formerly AISES). As ASI President, one of my goals will be to make sure that information is readily accessible to all students. This will help students to know what is going on and to voice their opinions before action is taken, not after the fact. I will also work to improve the Dome, with a wider variety of foods and extended hours. In addition, I am in daily communication with Rita, candidate for Exec VP. I will also hold weekly meetings with each of the executive officers to continue the vision of ASI Team 2000. To ensure that ASI is serving each and every one of the students at CSUSM! You, the students, will always be uppermost in our minds. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Dean Manship and I am running for the office of President of Associated Students Incorporated. I have been involved in ASI for two years and am currently the Inter-Club-Council Chairman. I have been dedicated to promoting student life on this campus, which will continue to be my top priority for both day and evening students. As your President, I will be committed to building lasting partnerships between the local business community and the campus community to enhance ASI's services to you, the students. I am committed to representing the concerns of students, and promise to keep your best interests in mind in every decision ASI makes. Associated Students is a tool for all students to have their voices heard at all levels of the university and make our careers as students more enjoyable and productive. I WILL BE YOUR VOICE!!! My passion as a student advocate will only enhance ASI and the student life at California State University San Marcos. My name is.Raeanna Wertz and I am running for the position of Executive Vice President of ASI. I came to this university in the Fall 1999 with experience in student government. I was the Interim Student Body President at Mira Costa College during 1998 and was elected as the Executive Vice President. I was also the president of the Future Educators Club and a peer educator in the HIV/ AIDS Peer Educator Program. Currently, I am the president of the Future Educators Club at CSUSM, and the ASI representative for the College of Education. I belong to the Student California Teachers Association, the International Reading Association, the League of Women Voters and I Volunteer at a local grade school. As your Executive Vice President, I will build communication between the students and ASI through committee participation. I will work closely with the ASI President to enhance communication with the campus community. I will use technology to reach as many students as possible with information about what your student government is doing and what issues we are addressing. I bring the experience of a re-entry student, and I bring enthusiasm as I am new to this campus and look forward to a great senior year. Rita Reynolds Major - History Executive Vice President I have been a student at CSUSM since Fall 1998, and I have a passion for this campus and seeing all of the students here meet or exceed their goals, as well as having a memorable experience at CSUSM. I believe my experience working as a manager for many years has been excellent preparation for the position of Executive Vice President. Additionally, I am the cofounder and seated president of CSUSM's Victorious Club, Treasurer for American Indian Student Alliance* and a member of the History Club. While at Palomar Community College, I was the first president of the Undefeated Club to serve for three consecutive terms. During my tenure as president, t he Undefeated Club was considered the most successful club on campus. If elected Executive Vice President, one of my goals is to bring a greater sense of community to our great $chool, so that when other CSU's look at us, they know who we are, we are CSUSM. We will not be considered just a commuter school or a group of students that use the same buildings on the same ground for our education. We will be CSUSM, in a united voice and mind. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Penny Lanese, and I know I will be an excellent Vice President of External Affairs because I have pride in this University, love to travel, and I love to learn from other people. As Vice President of External a ffairs I hope to help rid the University of the "Commuter Campus" label. Many people attending this University choose to attend, and have the right to feel proud of their education. Conferences and social gatherings do help the overall system, and it is a valuable tool to travel to other campuses to learn how to fine-tune our own University. Because the job of the Vice President of External Affairs is to travel to other California State University campuses, I aspire to talk and learn how the other campuses dealt with similar problems that we currently have, namely: parking issues, fee increases, and lack of courses and majors. My nalne is Robin Milch and I am running for the office of External Vice President of Associated Students Incorporated. I transferred to this university from Mira Costa College in the fall of 1999. At Mira Costa, I was the Administrative Vice President as well as the Vice President of Programming. Through each of these positions I was able to acquire leadership skills along with a vast knowledge of how student organizations operate. On this campus I am currently the representative of College of Arts and Sciences. Through this position I have been dedicated to promoting student involvement on this campus, as well as representing the concerns of students. If I am elected External Vice President, I will be committed to building communication between ASI and students. I want to be your voice and to represent you and your needs on and off the campus with respect to the external community, locally and nationwide. Not only will I be able to bring experience to this position, but also I will be bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to student government. Together we can make a difference. My name is NeWsha Digius and I am running for the position of Vice President of External Affairs. I am a Communications major and I am planning to go to law school. I feel I would be an asset to the ASI for several reasons: my exp rience with ASI, my leadership nability, and my enthusiasm for student government. My experience with ASI began last year as the College of Business Representative. My second semester in ASI, I was^ elected interim Vice President of External Affairs The knowledge and experience I have gained as the VP of External Affairs makes me the best candidate for this position. I am knowledgeable about current legislation that directly affects CSUSM students. I am also familiar with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the CSU Board of Trustees, and the CSU system. I am an active member of Alpha Chi Omega, holding several positions including social chair, sophomore standards board representative, and the vice president of intellectual development. I am the president of the Peer Education and Support Club. Getting involved with ASI has enriched my enthusiasm for student government. I will endeavor to represent my constituents as the Vice President of External Affairs. Value-driven leadership is something that is difficult to instill, and I, Scott Crossman, would like to continue the changes that are being offered by the Associated Student Incorporated. I have been attending San Marcos for over three years now. My major is business administration - service sector management. I feel the position of Vice President of Finance is one that offers "real world" experience that will lead to nothing less than an enhancement of this campus. I feel that successful changes do not take place overnight and the position for which I am applying for will be challenging. My leadership roles began in high school with various student body positions as well as core roles in sports. Continuing on in work, my determination, enthusiasm, and perseverance led to promotions and eventually to departmental leadership roles. The curriculum in my major, Business Management, is based on sustaining a successful service sector business. The service is attending to the student body here at California State University San Marcos. The dedication and knowledge of this position, I feel, is in my horizon of success and education. The assets that come from this university are the same core values that I will take with me into office. My name is Samantha Beltram, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I will be an asset to the Associated Students because I have experience as a leader on this campus. I bring experience as the chair of two clubs- AISES and Student-Parent Alliance (which is a club that myself and another single mother founded to promote campus awareness of the existence and needs of this portion of our student population.) I am experienced in how student government works as I have sat on the ICC representing AISES and served on the ASI's bylaws committee. Additionally, as I am raising a family while obtaining my education I have acquired life experience managing money via projecting and maintaining my family's annual budget, keeping accurate records, and maintaining a positive account status. On a final note, I am a highly motivated individual who is very customer service oriented, money management minded, team oriented and dedicated to addressing diverse needs and issues of a diverse student population. My name is Jocelyn Brown and I am running for the office of Corporate Secretary. I am a Biology major, and next year will be my third year at California State University San Marcos. Because of the experience, ideas, enthusiasm and goals that I have, I feel I would be a great asset to you, the students, as your ASI Corporate Secretary. I joined ASI late Fall of last year and currently serve as the Undergraduate Representative. I have been active in promoting forums for students to voice concerns, and I also serve on the Bylaws committee. I am familiar with minute taking and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary. As your elected representative, I will strive to do my best to represent the student voice of CSUSM. I love being involved in student government and working towards student involvement and the enrichment of campus life. My name is Ron Hawkins and I am running for C orporate Secretary because I believe I can bring Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge and Experience to a position that i s in extreme need of all those things. I have numerous years as an administrator; I 'm mature enough not to play childish games with your money; I am a dedicated and determined individual by nature that will pursue excellence in all areas affecting student life. I will ensure that all information affecting students is available and is published in an efficient and timely manner. I will ensure that Agendas for all regular meetings will be published ahead of time. I will foster an attitude of service and openness that has heretofore been noticeably lacking. I will ensure that my vote will always be for what is best for the students, not for the ASI officers. I will ensure professionalism in all publications that are the responsibility of ASI, thereby ensuring all outside agencies perceive CSUSM as an outstanding university. Please Vote for Ron Hawkins for Corporate Secretary, and the slate of ASI Team 2000. My name is Tammy Conley and I am a liberal studies major applying for the position of ASI Childcare Rep. As a mother of a student as CSUSM, I hope to bring awareness to my fellow colleagues and surrounding community about the importance of student-parent support needed for those students who desire quality childcare. Along with raising awareness, I hope to work closely with the ASI Childcare Center to provide as many parenting resources for both the parents and the staff who �(Tuesday, April 18,2000 5 ®fje $ r t b e are associated with the program. Because my daughter attends the Early Learning Center, I have a special interest in making sure that my child and every child that attends the ELC is involved in a f un, safe, educational, enriching, and nurturing environment. I am currently the Vice President of the Parent and teachers Club and have participated in the ICC meetings and feel that the experience has and will help me achieve greatness in this position. My name is Roderick Frazier. I am a Communications and Literature and Writing Major, and I am your candidate for ASI Undergraduate Representative. I realize the changes that are so desperately needed at our school. There is a need for better student life on campus. If elected as Undergraduate Representative I plan to dedicate most of my time to bringing more student activities on campus. Ralph Ellison said, "It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow." As Undergraduate Representative I will commit to student life, and reach out to the incoming students. I plan to invest the time that it takes in order to make this campus grow. I am currently the president of the yearbook club, a member of the ICC Board, a member of the programming committee, a member of the president's council as well as working at the University Store. I am involved on campus on a daily basis. I will be an asset to ASI because of my deep passion for improving CSUSM for the students. I feel the it is my duty to improve the lives of every individual on campus, and to tirelessly improve the reputation of this school. My name is Wendy Meeks and I am currently a junior, majoring in Communication at CSUSM. I am applying for ASI Representative of Arts and Sciences. As an ASI Representative I would work toward increasing and enhancing , communication between the department and the students. I believe that it is crucial to encourage students to get involved in campus issues. As a student who is focused and committed to performing at the highest level, I understand the struggles and concerns facing students. Over the past four years I have volunteered for CSUSM's Annual "Celebration of Service," and over the past three years have acted as a group facilitator during the selection process. As a Study Abroad student in France, I learned how to adapt to new environments and still accomplish my goals. Finally, last semester I interned for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, in Washington D.C., where I faced new and exciting challenges. While there, I had the opportunity to learn about the legislative process through my research of bills, attending committee meetings and responding to the concerns of constituents and contributing to the newsletter. It is my goal to bring my experience and commitment to strengthen communication, thereby- improving student and faculty relations. My name is Michael J. Miller and I am a Visual and Performing Arts Major. I'm running for the ASI representative for Arts and Sciences position on the ASI Board of Directors. Currently, I'm Vice Chair and co-founder of the Pride Alliance and I'm also the founder and president of Student Artists Association. Using my knowledge of student government, on and off campus connections and the skills that I have learned through various positions, I will commit myself to improving relations between faculty, staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences. I will use this position to bring the concerns of the students to ASI and to support the College of Arts and Sciences in every way that I possibly can. If given this opportunity, I will do my best to bring prestige and respect to our campus and to our student government. My name is Edward "Tad" Goddard and I want to be your College of Business Representative. I am currently active within the ASI Board Meetings and have more insight than most into how things are done. I've served on the Student Affairs Committee this semester. I've been a student here for four semesters now and have seen how our campus is changing. Some of these changes concern me. Are they taking our best interest into consideration? I want to make sure that they do. I don't want to see any needed programs bogged down in political filibustering or bad ones passed along without some thought. We need someone who will look out for student opportunities and make sure we can take advantage of them. I can make sure this is done. Jennifer Carroll I am a twenty four year old transfer student from Mesa College. I am a business major, with an emphasis on high technology management. I am a junior and am currently in my second semester attending CSU San Marcos. I am a member of Sigma Iota Epsilon, an honor society for business students. I desire to take an active role working with the administration for the benefit of students. I see ASI as a good vehicle for me to hone my leadership shills. As a College of Business Representative, I will conduct more open forums, establish direct communication between the College of Business Dean and its students, focusing on their needs and concerns. I will also offer more literature and information about the College of Business to students enabling them to "get the most" out of their experience here at CSU San Marcos. I am a hard worker, dedicated to achieving excellence.

This is written in response to that piece, and to provide CSUSM students with additional information. The development of Greek life at CSUSM has been ongoing since 1992. At that time students indicated an interest in beginning to develop Greek opportunities to enhance the student experience. Through 1994/95 a selection process was undertaken, underscoring to interested national affiliates that the campus wanted to slowly begin developing a Greek community that would model and embrace a strong commitment to the cultural, ethnic, age, and lifestyle diversity of our student body. Invitations to submit letter of interest were sent to all NPC, IFC, and NPHC nationally recognized social sororities and fraternal organizations, nineteen responded positively. Eight national organizations were interviewed and 4 were selected; 2 fraternities and 2 sororities. At a recent student meeting held on March 23rd with the Vice President for Student Affairs, a concern was raised regarding "promises" made to earlier organizations that would preclude any addition of ethnic based chapters. This meeting prompted additional research and review of archival materials. A decision has been made by the Vice President for Student Affairs to review the level of current interest and to more assertively promote the process to grow our Greek community. A meeting with appropriate campus personnel to oversee this process has already been scheduled. What developed were very strong service-based organizations, participating in a variety of campus and community projects. As our campus has changed in the number of students, differing needs for campus life and in a more diverse need base for develThe opinion piece very oping a sense of community, so strongly asserts that the adminishave the expectations for Greek tration is "blocking" the expanlife. sion of the Greek system.

OK, so Parking Services is not w asting my t uition. But you have given me the opportunity t o begin another l ist: "Top Ten Ways i'o Waste my $62 (or will it be $66 next s emester?) P arking F ee".

In fact, over the past 2-3 years several meetings were held with interested students and the Center for Student Involvement staff (now known as Student & Residential Life) to assist them in understanding the process to bring new organizations to campus. Additionally, no proposal/plan for expansion has been presented to President Gonzalez for his consideration. In the absence of a proposal he has not communicated any disinterest or lack of support for expansion. Quite the contrary, he has sent a clear message to Student Affairs that the campus life/ student life opportunities for CSUSM students must be increased. l ots, nor room to put t hem. v ices.

URL: http://www.csusm.edu/pride/ The Pride �Spring Festival 2000 Giovanni Ferrer PRIDE STAFF WRITER On April 15,2000, Associated Students, Inc. held the first annual "Spring Fest 2000 at CSUSM's Mangrum track andfield.Although held to promote student and community interaction, the event was sparsely attended. All proceeds from Spring Fest 2000 will support ehildcare services on campus. Novelty games, such as trampoline jumping, sumo wrestling, and a blow-up obstacle course, provided f un for both children and adults. One favorite was "Cameron the Caterpillar," a huge plastic chute for kids to crawl through. Other activities for children included a human bowling game and a 26foot inflatable slide. The youngsters were given balloons and could have their faces painted. Two local bands named Klownfish and Handful provided live entertainment for the event. Campus clubs held refreshment booths to try help raise money for their perspectiye clubs. Circle K International sold lemonade and snow cones. Mr. Taco sold Mexican food for approximately $3-5 per plate. The San Marcos fire department had a fire truck on display and CSUSM campus police showed off their vehicles as well. The Mapapa Acrobats capped off the day with an exciting performance of leaps, flips, and tumbles. Originally from Kenya, the group began performing in Europe, and currently travel the U.S. performing their acrobatics. The event ended with a hat contest where contestants won gift certificates to local businesses and free passes to Knott's Berry Farm. TRACK Cont. From Pg. 2 Every day from 3:00pm - 5:30pm, you can find women sweating it out as they do workouts designed by head coach Steve Scott and assistant coach Wes Williams-all in anticipation of stepping off the plane in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada to participate at the NAIA Nationals May 2 4-May 27. So as you stress out aboutfinals,think of these women and the prestige they are bringing to Cal State San Marcos. The women who round off the team are: Leslie Akers (800), Nicole Feehan (sprints, pole vault), Tara Hardee (throws), Denaye' Lakotich (hurdles, pole vault), Lorena Reyes (distance), Amanda Poniktera (throws) and Camille Wilborn (distance). Keep up with the women and men track teams on their web page, http://www.csusm.edu/track, where results and pictures are posted weekly. 1 ?

Earth Day is about people taking action in thenown communities for a cleaner, healthier environment. Earlier Earth Days lead to a push on such causes as recycling, but this year organizers hope their energy agenda will lead consumers, government agencies, and businesses to expand conservation efforts and the use of cleaner forms of energy, such as solar and wind power. The agenda also includes tougher pollution standards for cars, appliances, and lactones. III? Here are two local events to check out:. Powav 2000 Earth Arbor Dav, April 22-23.
